WEF Chief Resigns After New Epstein Docs Confirm The Globalists Were Plotting to Make The WEF The Official World Government, Accelerating the Collapse of the Neo-Liberal Order, Live Coverage of Hillary's Epstein Deposition, PLUS Iran Strike Imminent!

In a recent episode of the award-winning Consumer Finance Monitor podcast, Alan Kaplinsky was joined by Nick Bourke, Kate Griffin, and Ballard Spahr partner Joseph Schuster to discuss a groundbreaking new report from the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program: United We Stand: A National Strategy to Prevent Scams. The episode builds on Nick and Kate's prior appearance on the podcast last July, when the report was still in development. Now finalized, the report offers one of the most comprehensive frameworks to date for addressing what has become a systemic threat to American households and the broader financial system. The Scope of the Problem: A Systemic Threat Frauds and scams are no longer isolated consumer protection issues. According to the report, U.S. households are losing an estimated $196 billion annually to scams — roughly $1 billion every couple of days. One in five American adults reports having lost money to an online scam. As Nick Bourke explained, today's scams are: ·                 Technology-enabled ·                 Highly organized and industrialized ·                 Often operated by transnational criminal organizations ·                 Accelerating due to AI and faster payment systems The so-called scam "lifecycle" includes four stages: 1.     Lead – Hooking the victim 2.     Deceive – Building trust (often through impersonation or relationship-building) 3.     Bleed – Extracting funds 4.     Clean – Laundering proceeds, often through cryptocurrency or offshore channels Different sectors see only fragments of this lifecycle; social media platforms may see the "lead," financial institutions the "bleed," and law enforcement the "clean." That fragmentation allows criminals to scale operations while defenders remain siloed. Why Scams Are Rising Despite Heavy Investment As Kate Griffin noted, industry and government are investing heavily in prevention. Yet scams continue to grow. Why? ·                 Fragmentation across sectors: No single actor sees the entire attack sequence. ·                 Outdated reporting infrastructure: Federal systems at agencies like the FBI and FTC remain manual and technologically antiquated. ·                 Regulatory uncertainty: Financial institutions and technology platforms face unclear expectations about what data they can use and share. ·                 Speed of modern payments: Faster money movement means faster losses. Joseph Schuster emphasized that many financial institutions are strongly incentivized to prevent fraud as they often bear reputational and financial risk when scams succeed. But legal ambiguity, especially under statutes like the Fair Credit Reporting Act, can chill data-sharing and innovation. Core Recommendations from the Aspen Report The report outlines both high-level national reforms and granular operational improvements with more than 180 specific ideas. 1. Elevate Scam Prevention to a National Priority The report calls for: ·                 A designated federal lead (or "czar") to coordinate strategy ·                 A whole-of-government approach ·                 Clear national goals and metrics Without centralized leadership, enforcement and regulatory actions remain fragmented.  2. Modernize Law Enforcement Reporting Systems Federal reporting portals, including Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), the FBI's complaint systems, and the FTC's databases, require modernization. The report recommends: ·                 Streamlined, automated reporting ·                 Backend data interoperability across agencies ·                 Advanced analytics and AI tools for enforcement 3. Establish Clear Duties to Act Paired with Safe Harbors One of the most important themes discussed was the need for: ·                 Clear expectations for banks, telecom companies, and digital platforms ·                 Safe harbors that protect companies when sharing scam intelligence in good faith Countries like Australia have already codified such frameworks. The U.S. has yet to establish similarly coordinated standards. 4. Build a Cross-Sector Information-Sharing Ecosystem Effective scam prevention requires: ·                 Exchange of scam indicators (malicious URLs, compromised phone numbers, device patterns) ·                 Interoperable information-sharing platforms ·                 Privacy-preserving architecture ·                 Legal clarity to mitigate antitrust and consumer reporting concerns Joseph noted that industry appetite for collaboration is strong but clarity and guardrails are essential. 5. Consider a U.S. National Anti-Scam Center The report explores the idea of a centralized "front door", potentially something like stopscams.gov, that would: ·                 Serve as a national reporting hub ·                 Provide victim resources ·                 Facilitate coordination among law enforcement ·                 Support public education campaigns Social Media and Platform Responsibility The discussion also addressed the evolving role of digital platforms. Scam activity frequently originates through: ·                 Paid advertisements ·                 Dating applications ·                 Direct messaging ·                 Fake investment websites Compared to banks, social media companies operate within a less clearly defined regulatory structure. Courts are increasingly developing theories of "platform liability," but statutory clarity is lacking. The report urges policymakers to define reasonable expectations for platforms — paired with safe harbors and practical tools that empower prevention rather than merely assign blame. What Happens Next? The key question: who implements this strategy? Kate Griffin emphasized that this is a whole-of-society problem requiring coordinated action by: ·                 Federal leadership ·                 Congress ·                 Financial institutions ·                 Telecom and digital platforms ·                 Law enforcement ·                 Civil society There have been encouraging developments, including: ·                 Treasury and State Department sanctions targeting transnational scam networks ·                 A joint DOJ–FBI–Secret Service initiative targeting Southeast Asian scam operations o   But much more remains to be done. Nick Bourke suggested that, one year from now, real success would include: ·                 A designated federal anti-scam lead ·                 A congressional commission ·                 Measurable national prevention goals ·                 Corporate adoption of formalized anti-scam strategies Joseph Schuster added that industry innovation is ongoing, particularly in artificial intelligence, biometrics, and authentication, but warned that fragmented state-level regulation could complicate progress. Key Takeaways Alan Kaplinsky closed the episode with several important observations: ·                 Fraud and scams are now a systemic threat, not a niche compliance issue. ·                 Prevention, not just reimbursement, must be the organizing principle. ·                 Coordination matters as much as authority. ·                 Good-faith companies need regulatory clarity, not just enforcement pressure. ·                 Reducing scams strengthens trust in the U.S. financial system and digital economy. The Aspen report reframes the debate. Rather than assigning blame, it calls for aligned incentives, shared responsibility, and coordinated national action. If the title of the report, United We Stand, becomes reality, the United States may finally begin to bend the curve on one of the most costly and fast-growing threats facing consumers today.

What if your customers could explore every angle of a complex machine, product, or system without ever stepping onto the factory floor? For industrial buyers evaluating intricate systems and components, static images and brochures rarely tell the full story. That's why immersive 3D visualization is transforming how manufacturers showcase, explain, and ultimately sell their products. In this episode, Mark Worger, Managing Director of MarTech3D, shared how 3D product visualization is helping manufacturers modernize both their marketing and their sales funnels. Brochures, static images, and even trade show booths struggle to fully demonstrate large machinery, embedded systems, or intricate components. It's also very challenging to set up in-person demonstrations or ship large equipment to in-person events. So, sales and marketing  teams must figure out how to effectively present a 10-ton machine or a fully integrated process line during an early-stage sales meeting.That's where interactive 3D visualizations come in. By transforming engineering CAD files into marketing-ready, photorealistic 3D models, manufacturers can create product visuals, animations, augmented reality experiences, and even virtual showrooms. These tools can be applied to a variety of marketing channels and serve multiple stages of the sales funnel. At the top, they create visual impact and differentiation. In the middle, they educate buyers with interactive demonstrations that showcase internal workings and unique selling points. And at the bottom, they help shorten the sales cycle by allowing prospects to fully understand the product before scheduling in-person visits.Key Takeaways3D accelerates complex industrial sales funnels.It's easy to transform CAD files into marketing-ready visual assets.Interactive demos improve buyer education and engagement.Better visualization shortens the sales cycle.Marketing processes should match manufacturing efficiency. ResourcesConnect with Mark on LinkedInConnect with Wendy on LinkedInLearn more about MarTech3DRegister for the Industrial Marketing Summit

Selling your accounting firm is a major life transition and that often comes with an emotional tax that proper strategy can mitigate.Lisa Handziak, who covers much of the Northeast and Midwest for Poe Group Advisors, has guided owners through successful exits. She's learned that the sellers who thrive during this transition aren't the ones who avoid emotions; they're the ones who understand how to channel them productively. Take confidentiality, for example. Sellers often feel guilty keeping the sale from their staff, but Lisa reframes it completely: You're not keeping a secret. You're creating stability. When you protect your team from premature anxiety, you're actually protecting them, not betraying them. This episode reveals how the best exits happen: with preparation, clear vision, and a strategic mindset that turns your final tax season into proof of how valuable your firm really is.Key Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction 02:04 - Understanding the emotional journey of selling (and why it's normal) 06:41 - The readiness test: what are you going to do next? 08:19 - How one seller rediscovered what matters after exiting 10:01 - The seller who got re-excited about her firm and built even more value over 3 years 13:27 - The seller who got sick during tax season and proved the firm was buyer-ready 15:16 - "You're not keeping a secret, you're creating stability," the confidentiality reframe 19:25 - The attitude reset that transforms your final tax season 22:38 - How starting earlier eliminates seller regrets 25:08 - Accelerating profitable firms to their goals through strategic planning 28:39 - The inspiring buyer success story: from $1M to a major exit 30:12 - Why strategic buyers protect their investment by waiting to meet staff 33:41 - What happens when transition communication goes wrong (and how to avoid it) 35:39 - Bringing the human element back to M&A 36:22 - Book recommendationsDownload Now: https://poegroupadvisors.com/accounting-practice-academy/increase-letter/Price increases are nothing to fear.

In this conversation recorded at PTC Hawaii, JLL's Kristen Vosmaer and InfraPartners' George Teodorescu break down what is really separating winners from the rest in the AI data centre boom. Key takeaways: Time to first token = time to revenue. The faster a data centre goes live, the faster investors see returns - making speed a core financial metric. Power is the new battleground. Projects now live or die on energy access, with behind-the-meter generation, gas and even future nuclear options entering the mix. Capital is getting smarter - and more involved. Investors are moving from passive funding to hands-on strategic roles across the value chain. Off-site manufacturing is changing the game. Prefabrication cuts risk, labour pressure and delays, while improving cost certainty. Flexibility beats longevity. The era of 15-year static data centres is over, infrastructure must be modular, upgradeable and ready for rapid AI cycles. Partnerships are critical. No single player can deliver speed, power, funding and expertise alone. The biggest risks ahead? Monetising AI at scale, keeping up with power demand, and earning public trust as data centres become more visible - and political. Bottom line: In the AI era, success goes to those who can secure power, deploy fast, structure capital creatively, and turn infrastructure into revenue, quickly. Subscribe for more insight on the future of digital infrastructure.

In this episode of ClickFunnels Radio, we shift gears from effort to leverage - and focus on the fastest path to results once you understand funnels and selling: speed. Day four of the challenge is all about shortcuts - not the sketchy kind, but the kind that come from stacking the right tools, systems, and leverage so you can move faster without sacrificing quality. This is the day where everything accelerates. Today, McCall and I break down the "Race to the One Comma Club" by pulling the two biggest speed levers in your business: time and price. You'll see how AI, when used the right way, can drastically reduce the time it takes to build funnels while simultaneously increasing their quality and value. From creating better offers to building entire funnels in minutes - and even adding recurring services your clients will happily pay for - this session shows you how to compress months (or years) of work into days. Key Highlights: The two speed levers that determine how fast you reach your first One Comma Club milestone How to use AI the funnel hacker way by feeding it the right "brain," not generic prompts Why higher-quality funnels allow you to charge more - and get paid faster A behind-the-scenes look at AI-powered funnel building that turns hours of work into minutes How adding a newsletter and traffic system creates recurring revenue and client "stickiness" This episode is where leverage replaces grind. You're no longer just learning how to build funnels - you're learning how to scale your effort, your value, and your income at the same time. When you combine the right strategy with the right tools, speed becomes inevitable. And once you feel that momentum, it's hard to ever go back. https://www.onecommaclub.com Get 3 months of ClickFunnels for only $99 at the link below, that's an 83% discount to get started! https://www.clickfunnels.com/cfradio

Lyuba Shipovich is Dignitas Fund Team Co-Founder, and a Ukrainian-American activist and volunteer, active member of the Ukrainian diaspora, organizer of numerous volunteer initiatives, co-founder of Razom for Ukraine, organizer and coordinator of procurement and delivery of material support and training, IT expert, one of the Dignitas Ukraine founders. As part of the Dignitas Fund leadership team, Lyuba is the driving force behind the organization's strategic direction. She helps shape its long-term vision for defense technology in Ukraine, military-tech support for Ukraine, and targeted assistance to frontline units and veterans. Before Lyuba became a Revolution of Dignity activist in 2014, in Ukraine, which became a symbol of our foundation, she worked for a long time as an IT specialist in the US, already having many years of experience as a Ukrainian tech entrepreneur. In the 2010s, she became an active member of the diaspora supporting Ukraine and helped organize volunteer initiatives abroad. The work in the diaspora marked the beginning of her path as a Ukrainian volunteer activist. The combination of technical knowledge and civic activism is the basis of Lyuba Shipovich's biography.Even before the emergence of the modern Dignitas charity in Ukraine, Lyuba was already deeply involved in volunteer networks. She first became a Razom for Ukraine co-founder, where she gained experience in creating initiatives for fundraising, procurement, and humanitarian aid, which became critically important in the early years of the war. Her first steps in such significant organizations eventually earned Lyuba a reputation as a Ukrainian humanitarian & military support volunteer. Today, she remains a prominent voice in media and public discussions, and any Lyuba Shipovich interview consistently highlights the importance of coordinated logistics, transparency, and smart technology support for Ukrainian defenders.The public role of Lyuba Shipovich is significant; she is frequently referenced in the media as a Ukrainian miltech activist, a Ukraine war volunteer, and an innovator who bridges the gap between civilian technology and defense needs. As Ukraine becomes increasingly recognized in international discussions on resilience, Luba's work at Dignitas promotes modern means of defense, better coordination, and long-term veterans support in Ukraine.----------LINKS:https://dignitas.fund/team/lyuba-shipovich/----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

What do you do when students already know the math before you even teach it?This question came straight from a listener—and it's one we don't talk about enough. While so much attention in education focuses on supporting students below grade level, we often miss a critical (and underserved) group: the students who already “get it.”Without meaningful mathematical thinking and cognitive challenge, these students may disengage, develop surface-level strategies, or come to see math as boring and procedural. In this episode, we explore why traditional unit pacing may actually harm these learners—and what educators can do instead to deepen reasoning, sense-making, and flexibility. If you've ever wondered what comes after mastery, this conversation is for you.Listeners Will Learn:Why “early finishers” often get the least instructional support in mathHow adjusting pace can unintentionally limit access to the full landscape of grade-level mathematicsWhat it looks like to create math challenge without just assigning more problemsHow “what if?” questions and strategic mathematical constraints deepen understandingWhy abstract thinkers need to represent their thinking—and how to get their buy-inHow planning ahead (not improvising) leads to better differentiation in mathThe power of mini-consolidations to target all learners, not just the middleWhy all students—not just struggling ones—deserve access to rich, high-cognitive-demand math tasksWhether you're a teacher trying to meet a wide range of learners or a coach supporting classroom math differentiation, this episode is packed with tools and mindsets to help you stretch mathematically confident learners without sacrificing your core instruction.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, we shift gears from effort to leverage - and focus on the fastest path to results once you understand funnels and selling: speed. Day four of the challenge is all about shortcuts - not the sketchy kind, but the kind that come from stacking the right tools, systems, and leverage so you can move faster without sacrificing quality. This is the day where everything accelerates. Today, McCall and I break down the “Race to the One Comma Club” by pulling the two biggest speed levers in your business: time and price. You'll see how AI, when used the right way, can drastically reduce the time it takes to build funnels while simultaneously increasing their quality and value. From creating better offers to building entire funnels in minutes—and even adding recurring services your clients will happily pay for—this session shows you how to compress months (or years) of work into days. Key Highlights: ◼️The two speed levers that determine how fast you reach your first One Comma Club milestone ◼️How to use AI the funnel hacker way by feeding it the right “brain,” not generic prompts ◼️Why higher-quality funnels allow you to charge more—and get paid faster ◼️A behind-the-scenes look at AI-powered funnel building that turns hours of work into minutes ◼️How adding a newsletter and traffic system creates recurring revenue and client “stickiness” This episode is where leverage replaces grind. You're no longer just learning how to build funnels—you're learning how to scale your effort, your value, and your income at the same time. When you combine the right strategy with the right tools, speed becomes inevitable. And once you feel that momentum, it's hard to ever go back. ◼️https://onecommaclub.com ◼️If you've got a product, offer, service… or idea… I'll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event →⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://sellingonline.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ◼️Still don't have a funnel?

The United Nations General Assembly, designated 26 January as the International Day of Clean Energy to raise global awareness and accelerate action towards a just and inclusive clean energy transition. This transition is essential for climate stability, sustainable development, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as current energy systems remain heavily reliant on fossil fuels. Renewable energy sources solar, wind, hydro, biomass, and geothermal offer sustainable, low-emission alternatives. Beyond environmental benefits, these technologies can catalyse economic growth, create jobs, and enhance energy access, especially in underserved communities. Nigeria, Africa's largest economy and most populous nation, confronts a profound energy access crisis. Over 140 million Nigerians (71% of the population) lack reliable electricity, compelling widespread use of expensive, polluting diesel and petrol generators. Nigeria's Energy Transition Plan (ETP) sets a clear pathway to achieve net-zero emissions by 2060, balancing socio-economic realities with climate imperatives. Central to this plan is scaling renewable generation to account for 50% of the electricity mix by 2030, alongside universal energy access goals. Achieving these targets demands comprehensive regulatory reforms, increased capital investment, and strong private-sector engagement. Installed renewable capacity is expanding, with solar capacity exceeding 1,200 MW, largely through off-grid and rural electrification initiatives. Programs like the Nigeria Distributed Access through Renewable Energy Scale-up (DARES) supported by a $750 million World Bank credit and over $1 billion in leveraged capital aim to deliver clean energy to 17.5 million Nigerians via mini-grids and standalone solar systems (World bank 2023). Regionally, West Africa faces similar energy challenges. Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 85% of the global population without electricity, despite substantial renewable potential. However, the region attracts a disproportionately small share of global clean energy investment, underscoring the urgent need for robust policies and financing mechanisms to enable equitable energy transitions.
