Podcasts about Acuity

Kenji Kuramoto is the Founder and former CEO of Acuity, a pioneering outsourced accounting and fractional CFO firm that built and maintained financial functions for thousands of innovative entrepreneurs. Under his leadership, Acuity became one of Accounting Today's Top Firms for Technology and a Top Firm to Work For, before merging into Sorren in 2025. In this episode, Kenji joins Jason M. Blumer, CPA, to unpack what really happens when you step away from something that's still working. He shares the full story behind Acuity's 20-year journey, the decision to run a proactive merger process, and why he ultimately chose not to continue into the next chapter with Sorren—despite being Acuity's founder and leading the proactive merger process. The conversation explores the emotional reality of leadership transitions: identity loss, grief, relief, clarity, and the discipline required to not hold on too long. Kenji reflects on the surprisingly anticlimactic nature of closing day, the importance of timing your exit well, and how staying deeply connected to the profession helped him navigate life after stepping away. Today, Kenji is an investor, founder, and advisor focused on reimagining the future of the accounting profession. He is the founder of 404 Invests, an early-stage investment firm backing Accounting Technology, SaaS, FinTech, and Crypto companies. Earlier in his career, Kenji served as CFO of an Inc. 5000 tech company and began in the assurance practice at Arthur Andersen. If you're a firm owner considering succession, a merger, retirement, or your own next chapter as a leader, this episode offers rare honesty and perspective you won't often hear.

Disclaimer: Names and identifying details have been withheld to protect the nurse involved.In this gripping episode of Nurse Converse, an anonymous psychiatric nurse shares firsthand details from two violent riots inside an Arizona adolescent behavioral health facility. After repeated warnings about unsafe staffing and high acuity went unaddressed, nurses were left managing 26 teens with minimal support. When the situation escalated, 911 was called and police deployed pepper balls on the unit, affecting patients and staff alike.Our guest joins host Jana Price and describes the chaos, the trauma experienced by vulnerable adolescents, and the moral distress nurses carry long after the shift ends. We also explore regulatory oversight, administrative response, and the very real fear of retaliation that keeps many nurses silent.This episode is a sobering look at patient safety, staffing, and the courage it takes to speak up.>>911 Calls From Psych Nurses During Violent Youth Riot ReleasedJump Ahead to Listen: [00:01:43] Arizona adolescent psych facility riots summary[00:03:27] Why the nurse ultimately called 911[00:05:11] Breaking point: staff assaulted during Code Grays[00:05:57] Unsafe staffing ratios on riot night[00:07:51] What safe restraint response should look like[00:09:02] Police arrival and use of pepper balls[00:10:20] Pepper exposure and chaos on the unit[00:13:21] Added trauma for already vulnerable adolescents[00:17:22] Acuity tool changes and hidden staffing data[00:22:05] State survey findings: major safety deficiencies[00:24:05] Management direction on riot wording and 911 calls[00:28:50] Fear of retaliation and need for anonymityConnect with Jana on LinkedIn and social media: Instagram: @gentlyusedrnFor more information, full transcript and videos visit Nurse.org/podcastJoin our newsletter at nurse.org/joinInstagram: @nurse_orgTikTok: @nurse.orgFacebook: @nurse.orgYouTube: Nurse.org

What happens when you pull back the curtain on how architectural lighting actually gets made—from whiteboard sketch to installation—and discover the hidden complexity, creative tension, and human ingenuity behind every luminaire?nnIn this episode of LytePOD, host Sam Koerbel sits down with two veterans from opposite ends of the manufacturing spectrum: Gary Trott from Acuity Brands (one of the largest lighting manufacturers in North America) and Tom Howe from Kelvix (a nimble, specification-focused flexible linear company). Together, they unpack the entire product development journey—the messy, exhilarating, frustrating, and deeply collaborative process that transforms an idea into the light you experience in buildings every day.nnThis isn't a sales pitch or a product demo. It's a rare, candid look at what it really takes to design, engineer, source, manufacture, and deliver lighting in an industry where nothing is standard, every project is different, and the pressure to move fast constantly battles the need to get it right. From the roller coaster of engineering pilots to the art of saying "no" to impossible requests, Gary and Tom reveal the uncomfortable truths about an industry caught between creativity and commerce, innovation and execution, vision and reality.nnThey discuss why service matters more than product, how architectural brands can thrive inside big companies, and why luminaire design is experiencing a Renaissance now that LED technology has stabilized. The conversation goes deep into supply chain strategy, the myth that one person can do it all, the critical role of controls, and why curiosity—not market demand—drives true innovation. Along the way, they bust myths, share war stories, and explain why even a "simple" two-foot change can ripple through an entire manufacturing process.nn

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Andrew Huberman generated headlines this past week as he continued to cement his position at the intersection of popular neuroscience, public health, and lifestyle optimization. Most notably, his September 15th Neural Network Newsletter focused on essentials for brain health and cognitive performance, spotlighting actionable advice on food and supplements designed to maximize mental acuity and longevity, reinforcing his role as a go-to resource for a million-plus subscribers, according to the Huberman Lab newsletter. In a piece for Mens Journal, Huberman was again making waves—this time, predicting what he believes could be the next breakthrough supplement for health optimization. Though the full scientific consensus is pending, his forecast stoked considerable conversation in both supplement industry circles and biohacker communities, underscoring his growing influence where science and consumer trends meet, as reported by Mens Journal.Huberman's digital presence remains robust, with continued engagement across his platforms. His science-based protocols for better sleep, focus, and health continue to attract new followers, and testimonials included in his latest newsletter highlight how his blend of evidence-based advice and relatable teaching style is resonating with a broad, global audience. On social media, short-form clips and infographics summarizing his latest findings are still receiving significant resharing, frequently trending in health-and-wellness corners of X and Instagram, although no viral controversy or major meme has erupted around his name in the last few days.On the public appearance front, while no splashy television interviews or new tour stops have been reported during the past week, Huberman remains in the limelight by releasing regular podcast episodes and newsletter digests. No major business expansions or new product collaborations surfaced in publicly verifiable outlets during this time frame, and there are no confirmed reports of unannounced partnerships or controversies—though, as with any high-profile figure, rumors continue to circulate across lesser-moderated forums, none substantiated by mainstream media.In sum, Andrew Huberman's week was marked by steady scientific engagement and incremental but significant contributions to the brain health and lifestyle conversation, rather than by dramatic news events. As the nutrition and biohacking world keeps watching his next move, his trajectory seems focused on credibility and reach, making each new finding or protocol headline-worthy for an ever-growing fanbase.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

We have heard from the son of the former President Joe Biden, Hunter, on why his dad had struggled with his mental acuity in the final year of his Presidency - ambien. Hunter has also lashed back at George Clooney following criticism in a recent op-ed - and why so many clearly saw through this when it comes to qualifying for the job as President!

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez represents Washington’s 3rd District, which encompasses Clark, Cowlitz, Lewis, Pacific, Wahkiakum, and Skamania counties and a smidge of Thurston County. It’s a relatively rural district that has voted for President Trump three times. Somehow, she has been able to convince a good number of those Trump voters to ALSO send her, a Democrat, to Congress. And that’s put Gluesenkamp Perez in a unique and small club of Democrats being asked to diagnose their party’s problems and come up with a vision for the future. So what does it take to lead from a vulnerable seat, and what are the lessons Democrats can draw from what’s happening in Southwest Washington? One of those might be – figure out the solution to the gerontocracy in Congress. GUEST: Rep.

Prior to joining Rockwell Collins Kirschen worked at Acuity (formerly ichat) developing interactive user interfaces for live chat customer service agents. Now retired, there's now more time to share technical insights on her blog, develop useful scripts (Python, shell), and write Shortcuts. Kirschen is really motivated to share her experience to help fellow software practitioners develop better skills – be that in good design, implementation, or computer science fundamentals. As much as she can, Kirschen tries to share the delight in discovering how iOS and macOS applications for productivity and creativity have helped her do better in her personal and (former) work life.

In this Road to Macstock Conference and Expo conversation we welcome longtime speaker Kirschen Seah to discuss her upcoming session, Passkeys Demystified. Kirschen explains the promise of passkeys as a more secure, user-friendly alternative to passwords, and why adoption has been slower than expected. She shares insights into how passkeys work using public key cryptography, addresses common concerns about biometric data, and outlines how password managers like Apple Keychain and 1Password integrate with the system. With real-world scenarios and practical examples, Kirschen aims to help attendees confidently adopt passkeys and understand the evolving standards behind them.  Show Notes: Chapters: 00:08 Introduction to MacVoices 00:45 Kirschen Seah Joins the Conversation 02:20 Passkeys Demystified 08:44 Managing Multiple Accounts 10:32 The Role of Password Managers 13:15 Preparing for the Session 15:55 Macstock Conference Details 17:51 The Value of Curiosity at Macstock Links: Macstock Conference and Expo Save $50 with the Kirschen's discount code: freerangecoder Save $50 with Chuck's discount code: macvoices50 Guests: Kirschen Seah's background is Computer Sciences with interests in Software Engineering, User Experience, and Mac OS X / iPhone OS development.
