What if stubborn weight gain, brain fog, poor sleep, and chronic inflammation aren't "just aging"—but signals from your gut that started decades earlier? Today's conversation challenges the myth of inevitable decline and shows how understanding your microbiome can make your chronological age truly just a number. After 40, many people find that diets stop working, digestion becomes unpredictable, hormones feel out of control, and inflammation quietly creeps in. This episode explains why gut healing becomes harder with age, what's actually changing biologically, and how restoring gut resilience can transform metabolism, hormones, and healthy longevity. Today's guest brings a rare blend of microbiome research, systems thinking, and real-world clinical insight to guide us. Martha Carlin is a pioneering citizen scientist and microbiome systems researcher. She is the founder and CEO of The BioCollective, collaborating with institutions including Caltech, the University of Chicago, and University College Cork. Her work focuses on how gut microbes drive inflammation, insulin resistance, and chronic disease as we age. Martha's mission began personally—after her husband's Parkinson's diagnosis—leading her to leave a corporate career to investigate healing at the root: the gut.

I've been saying every morning to Helen, God, would you look at what's happening in Wellington? Look at what has oh! Like one of those people, usually men, watching the television going, look what she's wearing, come here and have a look at this. Have a look at that. God. Oh, but I'm like that about the waste going into the ocean off Wellington. That's far more important than what a reporter may or may not be wearing. It is hard to comprehend the sheer amount of waste being pumped into Wellington's ocean right now. Who knew humans could produce so much? What does 70 million litres of waste per day look like? Helpfully, the Spinoff broke it down. Moa Point, the writer writes, is sharting out 28 Olympic pools of pure uncut human waste every 24 hours and will be doing so for months. If you want to have an Auckland analogy, the total tank capacity at Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium is 18 million litres. Moa Point is divesting itself of nearly four Kelly Tarltons worth of poos, wees, toilet paper every single day. Cool. You get the picture. Thank you Spinoff. It's an absolute disgrace. And yet really, Auckland can't talk. Every time it rains our beaches are closed. You know, where you hear the sound of rain on the roof, you used to think, oh, how lovely and relaxing. Now I think landslips and I think beach closures. Every year the joy of summer's blighted by beach closures. I mean, we do have help on the way. Helen and I have walked the poo tunnel and that was amazing to see and that's going to be open at the end of the year. But even then they said they're not going to be able to prevent all beach closures. They're not going to be able to say hand on heart it will never happen again because nature does what nature does and if there's an absolute torrent and a deluge they won't be able to cope even with that enormous pipe, but it will certainly mitigate a lot of the damage done. So there has been chronic underinvestment in our infrastructure around the country for decades, but nowhere is it more exemplified than Wellington. On the 27 th of May 2021 remember those times, Wellington City Council's long term plan committee faced a fork in the road. Officers presented councillors with water investment options, including one, water option three, that contained a $391 million wastewater renewals programme. It was designed to reduce sewage pollution, starting with the central city and South Coast catchments that are now making headlines. At the same meeting, officers recommended cycleways option three, a staged programme set out in the consultation document presented to councillors. This is from Peter Bassett in the blog Breaking Views. And as he writes, what happened next is the hinge moment of Wellington's current disgrace. An amendment was moved by then councillor, now MP, Tamatha Paul, seconded by Jill Day, now Labour Party president, to adopt cycleways option four, expanding the programme to 226 million over 10 years compared with 120 million under option three. That amendment passed. Accelerated wastewater renewal did not. Simon Woolf was one of the councillors who voted against cycleways over water. There's been no cognisance of reprioritising. It's just gone down an ideological line. The city's going to suffer for years and years on the back of this underinvestment. Which is putting it mildly. He's ropable. He and the other councillors who voted against it. They could see what was happening. They knew it was imperative and it wasn't one or the other, it was a matter of priority. You could say sure, let's do cycleways, but shall we sort out the wastewater first because that is that's verging on catastrophic. No. No, let's go with the cycleways and what's more, let's spend more money on the cycleways than was recommended and let's not do the wastewater. It'll be fine. Just hold on. It's not fine. It couldn't hold on. To be fair, the previous Labour government understood that the country's infrastructure for the most part is in crisis, hence Three Waters. But yet again they were let down by their own execution of a plan to revitalise New Zealand's waterways. They failed to get the public behind Three Waters. National has come up with its own plan. Three Waters has become Affordable Water Done Well and there seems to be a growing understanding that we just can't kick the can down the road. All councils around the country are going to have to bite the bullet. Some have done, only a few, some have done so. Are you willing to see a rise in rates to clean up our waterways? Do you understand the urgency? Does Wellington's infrastructure crisis underline the urgency and the need to undertake the water reforms? And if we have to pay more in our rates, so be it.

Cristina Cranga: Why Speed Without Value Creates Chaos in AI-Accelerated Teams Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "When output becomes cheap, value becomes harder to see. AI is amplifying this risk." - Cristina Cranga Cristina brings a timely challenge to the table: how do Scrum Masters stay focused on value when AI tools are accelerating delivery to unprecedented speeds? Teams are delivering faster than ever—AI provides code, tests, documentation, even backlog items—but speed is no longer the constraint. The real challenge is meaning. Teams struggle to explain why their work matters to users or the business. Cristina frames this as a shift from "delivery" as the primary keyword to "value." She suggests that Scrum Masters are evolving from facilitators of flow to protectors of intent—what she playfully calls "strategic guardians of the value chain" or even "value masters." Together with Vasco, they explore experiment ideas around building clarity of value cycles with product owners, bringing signals of value into earlier backlog work, and helping teams validate faster, not just deliver more. The key insight: in an AI-accelerated world, the Scrum Master's role becomes more strategic, focused on ensuring teams make better decisions with clear trade-offs rather than just executing ceremonies. Self-reflection Question: How might you help your product owner build a "clarity of value" cycle that tests ideas before they reach the development team? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
Commentary by Dr. Jian'an Wang.
In this episode of the Vital Health Podcast, host Duane Schulthess speaks with two experts on reimbursement-facing evidence questions for accelerated oncology approvals at ISPOR Europe 2025 in Glasgow, Scotland: Anja Schiel: Senior Advisor, Norwegian Medical Products Agency Niklas Hedberg: Chief Pharmacist at The Dental and Pharmaceutical Benefits Agency (TLV) They unpack why results that are strong inside a clinical trial can be harder to apply to real-world national populations, how decision-makers weigh patient-relevant outcomes and uncertainty at the time of access decisions, and what risk management can look like when early approvals require follow-up evidence and potential reassessment. Key Topics: Trial Generalizability: Selection in trials, real-world populations, and health system variation. Reimbursement Evidence: Patient-relevant outcomes, absolute versus comparative benefit, small-sample challenges. Conditional Approval: Evidence at authorization, reassessment expectations, withdrawal, and restriction risk. Risk Tradeoffs: Approving too early versus delaying access, urgency in progressive disease, and equity constraints. Adaptive Follow-up: Real-world evidence plans, managed entry approaches, learning while treating. Opinions expressed are those of the speakers.

Washington just toppled Maduro, and that shockwave may be racing straight toward Tehran. In this episode of "Israel Undiplomatic", the hosts unpack how President Trump's renewed willingness to use American power is reshaping the global chessboard: from Venezuela to Iran, from Hezbollah to Hamas and from uneasy Syria “peace talks” to the very real possibility of regime collapse in Tehran. With Iran shaken by protests, its terror proxies weakened and Israel quietly preparing for what comes next, the conversation exposes why this moment feels different, and why a single misstep could trigger war, regime change, or both. Nothing is settled, everything is volatile and the stakes for Israel have never been higher. CHAPTERS 00:00 – Maduro Falls: Why This Changes Everything 03:12 – Trump's Message to the World: Strength Over Talk 06:05 – Iran Protests Explode: Fear Is Cracking 09:48 – Hezbollah and Hamas: Weaker, But More Dangerous 14:02 – Syria Talks: Security Deal or Strategic Trap? 18:36 – Turkey, Gaza, and a New Regional Risk 23:15 – Why Iran's Regime Is More Vulnerable Than Ever 28:40 – Missiles, Shelters, and Israel's Red Lines 33:55 – The West's Silence on Iran Exposed 38:20 – Regime Change: Inevitable or Accelerated?
Welcome back to Snafu with Robin Zander. In this episode, I'm joined by Jeff Jaworsky, who shares his journey from a global role at Google to running his own business while prioritizing time with his children. We talk about the pivotal life and career decisions that shaped this transition, focusing on the importance of setting boundaries—both personally and professionally. Jeff shares insights on leaving a structured corporate world for entrepreneurship and the lessons learned along the way. We also explore the evolving landscape of sales and entrepreneurship, highlighting how integrating human connection and coaching skills is more important than ever in a tech-driven world. The conversation touches on the role of AI and technology, emphasizing how they can support—but not replace—essential human relationships. Jeff offers practical advice for coaches and salespeople on leveraging their natural skills and hints at a potential future book exploring the intersection of leadership, coaching, and sales. If you're curious about what's next for thoughtful leadership, entrepreneurship, and balancing work with life, this episode is for you. And for more conversations like this, get your tickets for Snafu Conference 2026 on March 5th here, where we'll continue exploring human connection, business, and the evolving role of AI. Start (0:00) Early life and first real boundary Jeff grew up up in a structured, linear environment Decisions largely made for you Clear expectations, predictable paths Post–high school as the first inflection point College chosen because it's "what you're supposed to do" Dream: ESPN sports anchor (explicit role model: Stuart Scott) Reality check through research Job placement rate: ~3% First moment of asking: Is this the best use of my time? Is this fair to the people investing in me (parents)? Boundary lesson #1 Letting go of a dream doesn't mean failure Boundaries can be about honesty, not limitation Choosing logic over fantasy can unlock unexpected paths Dropping out of college → accidental entry into sales Working frontline sales at Best Buy while in school Selling computers, service plans, handling customers daily Decision to leave college opens capacity Manager notices and offers leadership opportunity Takes on home office department Largest sales category in the store Youngest supervisor in the company (globally) at 19 Early leadership challenges Managing people much older Navigating credibility, age bias, exclusion Learning influence without authority Boundary insight Temporary decisions can become formative Saying "yes" doesn't mean you're locked in forever Second boundary: success without sustainability Rapid growth at Best Buy Promotions Increasing responsibility Observing manager life up close 60-hour weeks No real breaks Lunch from vending machines Internal checkpoint Is this the life I want long-term? Distinguishing: Liking the work Disliking the cost Boundary lesson #2 You can love a craft and still reject the lifestyle around it Boundaries protect the future version of you Returning to school with intention Decision to go back to college This time with clarity Sales and marketing degree by design, not default Accelerated path Graduates in three years Clear goal: catch up, not start over Internship at J. Walter Thompson Entry into agency world Launch of long-term sales and marketing career Pattern recognition: how boundaries actually work Ongoing self-check at every stage Have I learned what I came here to learn? Am I still growing? Is this experience still stretching me? Boundaries as timing, not rejection Experiences "run their course" Leaving doesn't invalidate what came before Non-linear growth Sometimes stepping down is strategic Demotion → education Senior role → frontline role (later at Google) Downward moves that enable a bigger climb later Shared reflection with Robin Sales as a foundational skill Comparable to: Surfing (handling forces bigger than you) Early exposure to asking, pitching, rejection Best Buy reframed Customer service under pressure Handling frustrated, misinformed, emotional people Humility + persuasion + resilience Parallel experiences Robin selling a restaurant after learning everything she could Knowing the next step (expansion) and choosing not to take it Walking away without knowing what's next Core philosophy: learning vs. maintaining "If I'm not learning, I'm dying" Builder mindset, not maintainer Growth as a non-negotiable Career decisions guided by curiosity, not status Titles are temporary Skills compound Ladders vs. experience stacks Rejecting the myth of linear progression Valuing breadth, depth, and contrast The bridge metaphor Advice for people stuck between "not this" and "not sure what next" Don't leap blindly Build a bridge Bridge components Low-risk experiments Skill development Small tests in parallel with current work Benefits Reduces panic Increases clarity Turns uncertainty into movement Framing the modern career question Referencing the "jungle gym, not a ladder" idea Careers as lateral, diagonal, looping — not linear Growth through range, not just depth Connecting to Range and creative longevity Diverse experiences as a competitive advantage Late bloomers as evidence that exploration compounds Naming the real fear beneath the metaphor What if exploration turns into repeated failure? What if the next five moves don't work? Risk of confusing experimentation with instability Adding today's pressure cooker Economic uncertainty AI and automation reshaping work faster than previous generations experienced The tension between adaptability and survival The core dilemma How do you pursue a non-linear path without tumbling back to zero? How do you "build the bridge" instead of jumping blindly? How do you keep earning while evolving? The two-year rule Treating commitments like a contract with yourself Two years as a meaningful unit of time Long enough to: Learn deeply Be challenged Experience failure and recovery Short enough to avoid stagnation Boundaries around optional exits Emergency ripcord exists But default posture is commitment, not escape Psychological benefit Reduces panic during hard moments Prevents constant second-guessing Encourages depth over novelty chasing The 18-month check-in Using the final stretch strategically Asking: Am I still learning? Am I still challenged? Does this align with my principles? Shifting from execution to reflection Early exploration of "what's next" Identifying gaps: Skills to acquire Experiences to test Regaining control External forces aren't always controllable Internal planning always is Why most people get stuck Planning too late Waiting until: Layoffs Burnout Forced transitions Trying to design the future in crisis Limited creativity Fear-based decisions Contrast with proactive planning Calm thinking Optionality Leverage Extending the contract Recognizing unfinished business Loving the work Still growing Still contributing meaningfully One-year extensions as intentional choices Not inertia Not fear Conscious recommitment A long career, one organization at a time Example: nearly 13 years at Google Six different roles Multiple reinventions inside one company Pattern over prestige Frontline sales Sales leadership Enablement Roles as chapters, not identities Staying while growing Leaving only when growth plateaus Experience stacking over ladder climbing Rejecting linear advancement Titles matter less than skills Accumulating perspective Execution Leadership Systems Transferable insight What works with customers What works internally What scales Sales enablement as an example of bridge-building Transition motivated by impact Desire to help at scale Supporting many sellers, not just personal results A natural evolution, not a pivot Built on prior sales experience Expanded influence Bridge logic in action Skills reused Scope widened Risk managed Zooming out: sales, stigma, and parenting Introducing the next lens: children Three boys: 13, 10, 7 Confronting sales stereotypes Slimy Manipulative Self-serving Tension between reputation and reality Loving sales Building a career around it Teaching it without replicating the worst versions Redefining sales as a helping profession Sales as service Primary orientation: benefit to the other person Compensation as a byproduct, not the driver Ethical center Believe in what you're recommending Stand behind its value Sleep well regardless of outcome Losses reframed Most deals don't close Failure as feedback Integrity as the constant Selling to kids (and being sold by them) Acknowledging reality Everyone sells, constantly Titles don't matter Teaching ethos, not tactics How you persuade matters more than whether you win Kindness Thoughtfulness Awareness of the other side Everyday negotiations Bedtime extensions Appeals to age, fairness, peer behavior Sales wins without good reasoning Learning opportunity Success ≠ good process Boundaries still matter Why sales gets a bad reputation Root cause: selfishness Focus on "what I get" Language centered on personal gain Misaligned value exchange Overselling Underdelivering The alternative Lead with value for the other side Hold mutual benefit in the background Make the exchange explicit and fair Boundaries as protection for both sides Clear scope What's included What's not Saying no as a service Preventing resentment Preserving trust Entrepreneurial lens Boundaries become essential Scope creep erodes value Clarity sustains long-term relationships Value exchange, scope, and boundaries Every request starts with discernment, not enthusiasm What value am I actually providing? What problem am I solving? How much time, energy, and attention will this really take? The goal isn't just a "yes" Both sides need to feel good about: What's being given What's being received What's being expected What's realistically deliverable Sales as a two-sided coin Mutual benefit matters Overselling creates future resentment Promising "the moon and the stars" is how trust breaks later Boundaries as self-respect Clear limits protect delivery quality Good boundaries prevent repeating bad sales dynamics Saying less upfront often enables better outcomes long-term Transitioning into coaching and the SNAFU Conference Context for the work today Speaking at the inaugural SNAFU Conference Focused on reluctant salespeople and non-sales roles Why coaching became the next chapter Sales is everywhere, regardless of title Coaching emerged as a natural extension of sales leadership The origin story at Google Transition from sales leadership to enablement Core question: how do we help sellers have better conversations? Result: building Google's global sales coaching program Grounded in practice and feedback Designed to prepare for high-stakes conversations The hidden overlap between sales and coaching Coaching as an underutilized advantage Especially powerful for sales leaders Shared core skills Deep curiosity Active listening Presence in conversation Reflecting back what's heard, not what you assume The co-creation mindset Not leading someone to your solution Guiding toward their desired outcome Why this changes everything Coaching improves leadership effectiveness Coaching improves sales outcomes Coaching reshapes how decisions get made A personal inflection point: learning to listen Feedback that lingered "Jeff is often the first and last to speak in meetings" The realization Seniority amplified his voice Being directive wasn't the same as being effective The shift Stop being the first to speak Invite more voices Lead with curiosity, not certainty The result More evolved perspectives Better decisions Sometimes realizing he was simply wrong The parallel to sales Talking at customers limits discovery Pre-built pitch decks obscure real needs The "right widget" only emerges through listening What the work looks like today A synthesis of experiences Buyer Seller Sales leader Enablement leader Executive coach How that shows up in practice Executive coaching for sales and revenue leaders Supporting decision-making Developing more coach-like leadership styles Workshops and trainings Helping managers coach more effectively Building durable sales skills Advisory work Supporting sales and enablement organizations at scale The motivation behind the shift Returning to the core questions: Am I learning? Am I growing? Am I challenged? A pull toward broader impact A desire to test whether this work could scale beyond one company Why some practices thrive and others stall Observing the difference Similar credentials Similar training Radically different outcomes The uncomfortable truth The difference is sales Entrepreneurship without romance Businesses don't "arrive" on their own Clients don't magically appear Visibility, rejection, iteration are unavoidable Core requirements Clear brand Defined ICP Articulated value Credibility to support the claim Debunking "overnight success" Success is cumulative Built on years of unseen experience Agency life + Google made entrepreneurship possible Sales as a universal survival skill Especially now Crowded markets Economic uncertainty Increased competition Sales isn't manipulation It's how value moves through the world Avoiding the unpersuadable Find people who already want what you offer Make it easier for them to say yes For those who "don't want to sell" Either learn it Or intentionally outsource it But you can't pretend it doesn't exist The vision board and the decision to leap December 18, 2023 45th birthday Chosen as a forcing function Purpose of the date Accountability, not destiny A moment to decide: stay or go Milestones on the back Coaching certification Experience thresholds Personal readiness Listening to the inner signal The repeated message: "It's time" The bridge was already built Skills stacked Experience earned Risk understood Stepping forward without full certainty You never know what's on the other side You only learn once you cross and look around Decision-making and vision boards Avoid forcing yourself to meet arbitrary deadlines Even if a date is set for accountability (e.g., a 45th birthday milestone), the real question is: When am I ready to act? Sometimes waiting isn't necessary; acting sooner can make sense Boundaries tie directly into these decisions They help you align personal priorities with professional moves Recognizing what matters most guides the "when" and "how" of major transitions Boundaries in the leap from corporate to entrepreneurship Biggest boundary: family and presence with children Managing a global team meant constant connectivity and messages across time zones Transitioning to your own business allowed more control over work hours, clients, and priorities The pro/con framework reinforced the choice Written lists can clarify trade-offs For this example, the deciding factor was: "They get their dad back" Boundaries in entrepreneurship are intertwined with opportunity More freedom comes with more responsibility You can choose your hours, clients, and areas of focus—but still must deliver results Preparing children for a rapidly changing world Skill priorities extend beyond AI and automation Technology literacy is essential, but kids will likely adapt faster than adults Focus on human skills Building networks Establishing credibility Navigating relationships and complex decisions Sales-related skills apply Curiosity, empathy, observation, and problem-solving help them adapt to change These skills are timeless, even as roles and tools evolve Human skills in an AI-driven world AI is additive, not replacement Leverage AI to complement work, not fear it Understand what AI does well and where human judgment is irreplaceable Coaching and other human-centered skills remain critical Lived experience, storytelling, and nuanced judgment cannot be fully replaced by AI Technology enables scale but doesn't replace complex human insight The SNAFU Conference embodies this principle Brings humans together to share experiences and learn Demonstrates that face-to-face interaction, stories, and mutual learning remain valuable Advice for coaches learning to sell Coaches already possess critical sales skills Curiosity, active listening, presence, problem identification, co-creating solutions These skills, when applied to sales, still fall within a helping profession Key approach Use your coaching skills to generate business ethically Reframe sales as an extension of support, not self-interest For salespeople Learn coaching skills to improve customer conversations Coaching strengthens empathy, listening, and problem-solving abilities, all core to effective selling Book and resource recommendations Non-classical sales books Setting the Table by Danny Meyer → emphasizes culture and service as a form of sales Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara → creating value through care for people Coaching-focused books Self as Coach, Self as Leader by Pam McLean Resources from the Hudson Institute of Coaching Gap in sales literature Few resources fully integrate coaching with sales Potential upcoming book: The Power of Coaching and Sales

Episode: NCBFAA Counsel Update: What Trade Professionals Must Prepare for in 2026 (Final Episode in the NCBFAA 4-Part Special Series) Guest Host & Moderator: Laurie Arnold Secretary, National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America (NCBFAA) Panelists: Nicole Bivens-Collinson — Legislative Advisor, NCBFAA Cindy Thomas — Counsel, Partner Government Agencies Ashley Craig — Transportation Counsel Lenny Feldman — Customs & Trade Counsel Published: December 17, 2026 Length: ~50 min. Presented by: Global Training Center Episode Summary This episode concludes Simply Trade's four-part special collaboration with the National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America (NCBFAA), with NCBFAA hosting its own in-depth legal roundtable focused on what trade professionals must prepare for in 2026. Moderated by Laurie Arnold, Secretary of NCBFAA, this candid discussion brings together the association's legal counsel to unpack legislative priorities, regulatory uncertainty, enforcement trends, and agency staffing challenges impacting customs brokers, freight forwarders, and the broader trade community. From tariff volatility and BIS rulemaking to FMC enforcement, PGA staffing shortages, and heightened CBP scrutiny, this final episode provides practical guidance and forward-looking insight for navigating an increasingly complex compliance environment. Key Learnings & Themes 1. Legislative Outlook for 2026 Nicole Bivens-Collinson highlights legislative activity to monitor closely, including: Potential restrictions on non-resident importers acting as importers of record The proposed ADAPT Act, designed to curb last-minute tariff changes by requiring advance notice and implementation timelines NCBFAA continues advocating for policy that is predictable, transparent, and operationally realistic for the trade community. 2. PGA Engagement Amid Staffing Losses Cindy Thomas explains how Partner Government Agencies are experiencing: Accelerated retirements and buyouts Loss of institutional knowledge Inconsistent enforcement and communication Despite these challenges, agencies increasingly rely on NCBFAA to help communicate policy changes clearly and consistently to the trade community. 3. BIS 50% Rule: Paused, Not Eliminated Ashley Craig discusses the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) 50% rule, currently suspended for one year: The rule is expected to return in some form Congressional intervention remains possible Due diligence expectations on intermediaries continue to grow The panel stresses that this pause should be used to prepare — not delay. 4. FMC Enforcement & Transportation Risk Ashley also outlines increasing enforcement activity by the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC), including: Heightened scrutiny of tariffs and service contracts Significant recent penalties Ongoing regulatory uncertainty driven by staffing changes Transportation compliance remains a key risk area heading into 2026. 5. Tariffs, CBP Enforcement & Revenue Collection Lenny Feldman provides insight into: Aggressive CBP enforcement tied to tariff programs Significant increases in duty collections through entry summary reviews Elevated penalty exposure without mitigation strategies He emphasizes proactive compliance, internal reviews, and preparation before CBP initiates enforcement actions. 6. Practical Steps Trade Professionals Must Take Now Panelists recommend: Ensuring importers maintain active ACE Portal access Monitoring liquidation timelines and protest deadlines Reviewing valuation, classification, and origin methodologies Updating broker terms & conditions and powers of attorney Conducting internal compliance reviews proactively Preparation is no longer optional — it is essential. Key Takeaways Enforcement is increasing across CBP, BIS, FMC, and PGAs Legislative and regulatory volatility is the new normal NCBFAA advocacy plays a critical role in shaping workable policy Brokers and forwarders are more essential than ever as compliance partners Proactive strategy consistently outperforms reactive defense Resources Mentioned Organizations & Agencies National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America (NCBFAA) U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Trade & Compliance Topics ACE Portal (Automated Commercial Environment) Section 232, 301, and 201 Tariffs BIS 50% Rule BIS Affiliate Rule ADAPT Act (Proposed) Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 Credits Guest Host & Moderator: Laurie Arnold — Secretary, NCBFAA Panelists: Nicole Bivens-Collinson — Legislative Advisor, NCBFAA Cindy Thomas — Counsel, Partner Government Agencies Ashley Craig — Transportation Counsel Lenny Feldman — Customs & Trade Counsel Presented by: Global Training Center Global Training Center on LinkedIn Subscribe & Follow Simply Trade YouTube Spotify Apple Podcasts Trade Geeks Community
Succession planning is rarely easy, but when life circumstances accelerate the timeline, it requires courage, clarity, and deep trust in your team. This episode explores how to manage an ownership and client transition with empathy, structure, and transparency. KayDee Cole is the founder of Clarity Wealth Development, an RIA based in Corvallis, Oregon, that manages $200 million in AUM for 220 client households. Listen in as KayDee shares how she navigated an expedited succession plan after a cancer recurrence, selling equity to her COO through a seller-financed loan and preparing other team members for ownership. We also talk about the structured four-meeting process she created to transition clients to new advisors, how she coached her team through readiness conversations, and how transparent communication helped retain nearly all clients through the change.

In this episode of Sales Talk for CEOs, Alice Heiman sits down with trust‑selling pioneer Ari Galper to reveal why traditional sales techniques are failing in today's climate and what CEOs, Founders, and Sales Leaders must do instead. Ari argues that trust isn't a byproduct of selling; it's the core of it.Actionable takeaways for leaders:Train your team to lead with questions, listen until they share the full context of their problem.Replace “follow up” emails with “feedback” outreach.Always end meetings by scheduling the next appointment, don't leave it to chance.Ari's insights build on a theme we've heard from several standout guests, trust isn't just part of the sales process; it is the process. If you found this episode valuable, you'll also want to hear how other CEOs and experts are scaling by leading with trust:
By David Stephen There is a new [December 2, 2025] paper in Nature, Artificial intelligence for quantum computing, stating that, "Quantum computing (QC) has the potential to impact every domain of science and industry, but it has become increasingly clear that delivering on this promise rests on tightly integrating fault-tolerant quantum hardware with accelerated supercomputers to build accelerated quantum supercomputers." Will Conceptual Brain Science Advance Quantum Computing? "However, transitioning hardware from noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices to fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) faces a number of challenges. Though recent quantum error correction (QEC) demonstrations have been performed, all popular qubit modalities suffer from hardware noise, preventing the below-threshold operation needed to perform fault-tolerant computations." "Though high-performance computing (HPC), and in particular, accelerated GPU computing, already drives QC research through circuit and hardware simulations, the rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) paradigms has only just begun." "Despite the considerable promise of AI, it is critical to recognize its limitations when applied to QC. AI, as a fundamentally classical paradigm, cannot efficiently simulate quantum systems in the general case due to exponential scaling constraints imposed by the laws of quantum mechanics. Classical simulation of quantum circuits suffers from exponential growth in computational cost and memory consumption." "In the broadest of strokes, we can categorize deep neural network (DNN) applications as discriminative and generative. The former seeks to learn the conditional probability distribution P(y?x) of value vector y given feature vector x, whereas the latter seeks the joint probability distribution P(x, y)." "Critical for training all of these deep learning methods is high-quality data. In the case of QC, this data must often be obtained via simulation with supercomputers due to noise and scale limitations of quantum computers, as well as the cost (time and economic) of obtaining quantum data." "AI for quantum computer development and design. Device design. Learning models of quantum systems. AI for preprocessing. Quantum circuit compilation. Unitary synthesis. AI for circuit optimization. AI models to generate compact circuits. AI for device control and optimization. Designing optimal dynamics. Remove unwanted dynamics. AI for quantum error correction. AI for post-processing. Efficient observable estimation and tomography. Error mitigation techniques. Accelerated quantum supercomputing systems. Simulating high quality data sets." "Most importantly, each aspect of QC needs to scale, and AI might be the only tool with the ability to both solve these problems effectively and do so efficiently at scale. AI has only begun to benefit QC, and it is likely that AI will play an increasingly critical role into the realization of useful QC applications and FTQC." AI A simple way to describe AI is a technology that copied what works: the brain. Or, simply, AI is a technology that looked at the best case of intelligence in nature, the human brain, and imitated it, in the ways that is mathematically possible. Also, large language models [LLMs] copied a major basis of intelligence, language. While it is possible to operate intelligence in other ways, language is central - to human intelligence - for thinking, listening, writing, reading, singing, signing, speaking and so on. So, AI is as good as it is, following the lead of the brain, directly. Now, if this made AI relevant more than any technology that has ever existed, what should any other aspirational technology do? Copy the imitation, AI, or copy the source, the human brain? Quantum Computing There are several engineering gaps in quantum computing where fundamental answers should be sought in the brain. While AI can be currently useful for several improvement cases, the brain should be aggres...

After an Afghan national was charged with shooting two National Guard members in Washington DC, President Donald Trump called for sweeping changes in immigration policy and pledged to "permanently pause migration" from all "third world countries". Afghan nationals, especially those who worked with the US mission in Afghanistan, may now find themselves in a particularly precarious position. Asma and Tristan discuss these rapid recent policy changes, and the BBC's Mahfouz Zubaide shares recent reporting on how Afghans in America are getting caught up in the crackdown.Producers: Viv Jones, Xandra Ellin Executive Producer: Bridget HarneySenior News Editor: China CollinsMix: Marty PeraltaPhoto: People leave flowers at the scene where two National Guard members were show in Washington DC.

In this episode of the Vital Health Podcast, host Duane Schulthess speaks with Dr. Malina Müller, Head of Health Economics at WifOR Institute, to explore the heated debate around accelerated and conditional approvals in Europe, how demographic and budget pressures shape HTA decisions, the tradeoffs between surrogate endpoints and overall survival, the challenges of using real world evidence under GDPR, and the broader pricing and competitiveness threats facing Europe’s life science ecosystem. Key Topics: Accelerated Approvals: Uncertainty versus early access, conditional pathways in Europe, and costs of delayed treatment. Health System Pressures: Aging populations, fixed-price hospital incentives, cross-country budget constraints. Endpoints & Evidence: Surrogate versus overall survival, patient-reported outcomes, practical limits of real-world evidence in Europe. HTA & Harmonization: Germany's strict assessments, JCA and EMA alignment, and equity gaps across member states. Global Pricing Risks: Most Favored Nation (MFN) proposals, launch delays between the FDA and EMA, and Europe’s competitiveness versus China. Opinions expressed are those of the speakers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The FDA's Accelerated Approval Program (AAP) aims to bring promising, potentially life-saving medicines to patients sooner by allowing approvals based on surrogate endpoints while requiring timely confirmatory evidence. In this episode, we speak with Bridget Doherty, MPH, MS (Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine), and Jeff Allen, PhD (Friends of Cancer Research). Bridget discusses her team's review of the AAP's real-world impact, showing that hundreds of thousands of meaningful life-years have been gained for patients. Jeff shares findings from work strengthening biomarkers as reliable surrogate endpoints—helping define when increased speed can still preserve scientific rigor. We also explore the core access challenge: how payer coverage and utilization management help or hinder patients the AAP is designed to serve. We close with practical policy steps to ensure that earlier regulatory access truly leads to better outcomes for people who need treatments most.

Scott Winship investigates the mystery of the decline in young men's earnings between 1973 and 1989. He concludes this period was not caused by accelerated immigration or women entering the workforce, as men's earnings continued to rise. The actual explanation is the unique economic combination of stagflation—high unemployment and very high inflation—that occurred until the early 1980s recession. This severe economic dynamic has not been matched since 1989. Guest: Scott Winship. 2/2
In this solo episode, Darin reframes one of the most misunderstood forces in life — stress. Instead of seeing it as the enemy, he explores how stress is actually a messenger, guiding you back to alignment, safety, and awareness. Through science, spirituality, and lived experience, Darin breaks down how stress shows us where we're trying to control, where we're disconnected, and where our nervous system is calling for attention. He unpacks the layers of modern stress — from trauma and environment to community and purpose — and offers practical, embodied tools to restore calm, clarity, and resilience.

What if the secret to healing faster was already in the air you breathe? In this special on-location episode of Get Back to Your Life®, Dr. Christopher Good, Spine Surgeon and President at VSI, breaks down one of the latest breakthroughs in spine surgery recovery, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, and how it's being used right here at VSI to help people who suffer from back and neck pain recover faster. VSI's state-of-the-art hyperbaric oxygen chamber delivers 100% oxygen under increased pressure, flooding the body's tissues with oxygen to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and optimize recovery after spine surgery or orthopedic procedures. Dr. Good explains how Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy works, who benefits most, and why it's quickly becoming a cornerstone of comprehensive recovery care. At VSI, hyperbaric oxygen therapy represents more than a new technology, it reflects a new philosophy of healing. It's part of VSI's Recovery Revolution™, a patient-first model/movement that reimagines what recovery should look like before, during, and after spine surgery. Backed by data from a 50,000-patient study, VSI's recovery model/approach to recovery combines advanced surgical techniques, regenerative therapies, and proactive recovery planning to help patients heal faster, reduce pain, and return to life stronger than ever.
RANKOPAN6.mp3 - The Great Divergence, Coal Location, and Global Climate Shocks Peter Frankopan | The Earth Transformed: An Untold History The Great Divergence seeks to explain how Europe accelerated scientifically and technologically after 1500 to dominate global empires. A key factor was location: England benefited from coal fields situated close to London and easily transportable by sea, unlike China's distant resources. Climate shocks created opportunities for European powers. Severe famines and droughts in India (such as the 1770s Bengal famine that killed 30 million) shattered the Mughal state's ability to collect revenue, facilitating British control. Additionally, the 1783 Laki volcanic eruption caused a climate shock affecting Egypt's Nile, diverting Ottoman focus southward and enabling Catherine the Great to annex Crimea.
This week's Coach Confessional is part personal health update, part huge FASTer Way announcement — and 100% worth a listen. Amanda kicks things off with a very real update about finishing her parasite detox, her first-ever colonic (yep, she goes there), and why she walked away feeling euphoric, energized, and finally sleeping through the night. Haven reacts in classic Haven fashion — part skeptical, part intrigued, and totally ready to rally the team for a “colonic party.” But the big news?

Stress isn't just something to “manage” — it's a signal, a teacher, and often, an invitation to look deeper at our health, our choices, and our lives. In this solo episode, Darin reframes stress not as an enemy, but as a dashboard light pointing toward misalignments in our nervous system, environment, relationships, and purpose. Drawing on science, practical tools, and personal insight, Darin reveals how layered stress silently drains our vitality — and how to transform it into an ally for growth, healing, and deeper contentment. Whether it's hidden trauma, toxic environments, unresolved conflict, or the modern distractions constantly pulling at our attention, Darin lays out a roadmap to stop the leaks and reclaim the energy already within you. This episode is a powerful reminder: stress isn't the end of the story — it's the beginning of awareness, safety, and a super life.
