Podcasts about Adoption

AI adoption is often treated as a technology challenge: choose the right tools, train people to use them, and drive implementation. Dr. Gleb Tsipursky argues that this framing misses the harder problem. Unlike previous technology shifts, AI can trigger fear about job security, challenge professional identity, and create social stigma around how work gets done. For organizations trying to move from experimentation to meaningful business impact, understanding those human dynamics may matter as much as the technology itself.In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Gleb Tsipursky joins Mahan Tavakoli to discuss his new book, The Psychology of AI Adoption at Work: From Resistance to Results. Drawing on behavioral science research, thousands of survey responses, focus groups, and more than 100 consulting engagements, Gleb explains why traditional approaches to technology adoption often fall short with AI. The conversation examines the very different reasons employees resist, quietly embrace, or even hide their use of AI, and what those behaviors reveal about organizational culture.The discussion moves beyond adoption to a deeper question facing CEOs and senior executives: what happens when AI changes not only how quickly work gets done, but also how people understand the value they bring? Gleb explores professional identity, shadow AI, the critical role of middle managers, and why organizations may need to rethink where they begin their AI efforts. He also challenges the instinct to start by automating the highest-value activities, offering a counterintuitive approach designed to build trust, experimentation, and broader adoption.Mahan and Gleb also explore a growing leadership challenge: AI can dramatically increase output while making judgment more important. If AI increasingly generates reports, analysis, presentations, and other knowledge work, the differentiating human capability may shift from producing the first draft to evaluating whether the output is actually good. That raises important questions about how organizations develop early-career talent, redesign onboarding and apprenticeships, and build judgment when AI performs more of the work through which judgment was traditionally developed.Finally, the conversation looks ahead to an emerging workplace in which employees may increasingly manage AI agents rather than perform individual tasks themselves. Managers, in turn, may need to manage people who manage agents while coordinating increasingly complex human-machine workflows. The result is a conversation not simply about getting employees to use AI, but about the capabilities, culture, management practices, and continual learning organizations will need as AI becomes embedded in how work gets done.Actionable TakeawaysYou'll learn why AI adoption creates psychological challenges that traditional technology implementations often do not, and why treating AI like another CRM, ERP, or software rollout can lead organizations to misdiagnose resistance.Hear how fear, professional identity, and social stigma can produce very different forms of AI resistance, requiring more nuanced responses than simply mandating adoption or providing additional training.You'll discover why some employees may already be using AI extensively while deliberately hiding that use from colleagues and managers, and what this “shadow AI” behavior can cost organizations in shared learning and business impact.Hear why starting with the highest-value work may not always be the smartest path to AI adoption. Gleb explains why beginning with tasks employees actively dislike can create an unexpected path toward broader experimentation and acceptance.You'll learn why executive behavior matters in establishing the social norms around AI use, including how openly sharing successful AI applications can help shift AI from something employees conceal to something teams learn from together.Hear why middle managers may become one of the most important leverage points in AI adoption, translating executive intent into the everyday behaviors, experimentation, reinforcement, and learning that determine whether adoption actually takes hold.You'll explore why judgment may become more valuable as AI becomes better at producing work. The conversation examines the difference between generating an answer and knowing whether that answer is good enough to act on.You'll hear why AI creates a significant challenge for developing younger professionals, particularly when technology begins performing the work through which previous generations accumulated experience and learned to recognize quality.You'll learn how the role of employees and managers could change as AI agents become more capable, moving from personally executing individual tasks toward directing agents, evaluating their output, managing handoffs, and improving human-machine workflows.Hear why there may be no final state of “AI maturity.” Instead, organizations may need to build the capacity for continual learning as AI capabilities, workflows, and the skills required to manage them keep changing.Connect with Gleb TsipurskyDisaster Avoidance Experts WebsiteDr. Gleb Tsipursky LinkedInConnect with Mahan Tavakoli:Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

Should physical therapists be the only people who own physical therapy clinics?In this episode of PT Breakfast Club, Jimmy McKay and Tony Maritato dig into the business of healthcare, AI documentation, EMR adoption, and what happens when a clinic is built entirely around one clinician.Dave Kittle has the day off, but Jimmy previews part of his upcoming APTA Florida keynote, including a speed round of PTs doing things differently: cowboy PT, snow sports PT, dance PT, and other examples meant to make clinicians ask, “What's my twist?”Then Tony brings up a bigger business question: should PT clinics be owned only by PTs? The conversation challenges the anti-business sentiment that shows up in healthcare. PTs understand patient care, but business people understand business. A strong healthcare business needs both.Jimmy and Tony also talk about AI scribes, Luna Physical Therapy, Hinge Health, Sword, EMRs, power users, clinical education, and why the tool itself is not enough. Adoption depends on whether clinicians actually like the tool, trust it, and know how to use it inside real patient care.The episode closes with a solopreneur clinic question: can you sell your business if the business is really you?Jimmy and Tony break down the difference between buying a job and buying a business, why a customer list may have value but may not transfer, and how a solo clinician could build more valuable assets by teaching their method, creating systems, bringing in an apprentice, or turning their proprietary approach into a product.The takeaway: understand what business you are actually in before you try to scale it, sell it, or protect it.

Most HR teams have already run their AI experiments. A pilot here, a policy draft there.

The award-winning singer-songwriter and actress Natalie Imbruglia first hit our screens in the early 1990s, playing the role of Beth Brennan in the Australian soap Neighbours. Her 1997 debut single Torn quickly became a worldwide hit, and she's sold more than 10 million albums. Her latest album, Algorithm, is out later this week. Natalie joins Nuala McGovern to discuss some of its themes – relationship breakups, perfectionism and perimenopause, and what it feels like to be championed by the new generation of pop stars.A new definition of heart attacks could help transform the way women are diagnosed and treated. Experts in the field say women have been 'deprioritised' for decades, but this new global guidance has a new focus on the types of heart attacks experienced by women, and the criteria used to detect them. Professor Nick Mills, British Heart Foundation Professor of Cardiology at the University of Edinburgh, joins Nuala to explain along with Allison Lawson, who had a heart attack two years ago.Between 1949 and 1976, an estimated 250,000 mothers in the UK had their new-born children taken from them through a system involving the state, social workers and religious organisations. A landmark BBC documentary, available now on iPlayer, Stolen Babies, tells the story of those women and the children who were taken from them. In July, the outgoing Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer issued a formal apology. Judy Baker, who features in the documentary talks about her own experience of giving up a baby.Bestselling author Adele Parks joins us to talk about her new book Eyes On You which follows the story of Amy who, at fifteen, witnessed her father brutally murder his mistress. She tells Nuala why she wanted to explore the effect of such a crime on the perpetrator's family, and how she has tried to make each of her 26 books better than the last.

Dr. Gleb Tsipursky serves as the CEO of the future-of-work consultancy Disaster Avoidance Experts where he is an author who was dubbed the "Office Whisperer" by The New York Times and he helps tech-forward leaders stop overpaying for AI while boosting adoption and decreasing resistance. Mike Petrusky asks Dr. Gleb about his brand-new book, "The Psychology of AI Adoption at Work: From Resistance to Results", in which he explores how AI will fundamentally transform the workplace, applying his findings to facility managers and workplace strategists. He believes that FM leaders will need to evolve with increased integration of AI, IoT, and robotics, demanding new skills and adaptability as their role becomes that of "a managers of agents" overseeing both digital and physical assets. AI adoption faces unique psychological barriers beyond traditional change management challenges, specifically fear, identity threat, and shame. So, workplace professionals must start by addressing these emotions through supportive leadership, transparency, and the normalization of AI use. Leaders should focus on upskilling and preparing their teams for this transition, so Mike and Dr. Gleb offer the encouragement and inspiration you need to be a Workplace Innovator in your organization!

Joseph Lee is the Co-founder and CEO of Supademo, an AI-powered platform that helps teams create interactive product demos and guides for sales, marketing, onboarding, and customer education. He leads Supademo's product vision and growth, building intuitive, self-guided experiences that enable companies to simplify product education and drive engagement. Previously, Joseph co-founded Freshline, a B2B e-commerce platform for food distributors, where he served as CPO and led product strategy and execution from customer insight through product development. In this episode… Product demos are no longer just a sales tool — they can shape how prospects understand a product, how customers learn to use it, and how teams drive adoption at scale. But what makes a demo effective enough to move users from curiosity to real product value? Joseph Lee, a two-time startup founder and product builder, says the most effective demos help customers understand value faster by letting them experience a product rather than passively watch it. He highlights the power of interactive, self-serve experiences that can support sales, onboarding, training, enablement, and product education. Supademo's product-led approach also allows users to experience advanced features through reverse trials, while AI helps teams personalize, translate, maintain, and scale demos more efficiently. As these experiences become more intelligent and agentic, companies can guide users through workflows with less friction and help them reach meaningful outcomes sooner. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz speaks with Joseph Lee, Co-founder and CEO of Supademo, about using product demos to accelerate sales, onboarding, and adoption. They discuss interactive self-serve demos, AI-powered personalization, and in-app product education. Joseph also shares how Supademo evolved from SaaS into an agentic demo platform.

Why are the youngest designers often the most resistant to adopting AI, and how can firms effectively navigate this technological shift?In this episode of Practice Disrupted, host Evelyn Lee sits down with Stacy Thorwart, former global AI strategist for Steelcase and founder of The Intelligent Designer. Stacy shares her unique journey from running a small residential interior design firm to leading enterprise-level AI strategy, and eventually launching an educational platform full-time to teach other designersThe conversation challenges common assumptions about AI in the AEC industry. Stacy reveals that the lowest adoption rates she sees aren't among senior staff, but junior designers coming straight out of school who lack exposure to the true capabilities and limitations of the tools. She unpacks the reality that the biggest barrier to AI integration isn't necessarily fear, but a severe lack of time for experimentation and context-building within already overwhelmed schedules.Stacy and Evelyn also tackle the nuanced conversation around AI and sustainability, the vital role of leadership sentiment in determining organizational success, and why AI image generators are not yet a one-to-one replacement for technical drawing tools. Ultimately, they explore how AI might not replace design professionals, but rather elevate the value of human-to-human connection and create net new opportunities within the industry."AI is everywhere. It is in our email, it is in our phones, it is in our GPS, and it is baked into the design tools and design software we're using. So by saying you're opting out of AI, really that means you're opting out of all technology." - Stacy ThorwartThis episode serves as an essential guide for navigating the impending wave of AI technology, emphasizing that true innovation requires a balanced approach to education, responsible implementation, and a continued appreciation for the human element of design.Guest:Stacy Thorwart is an interior designer, educator, and the founder of The Intelligent Designer. With over a decade of experience at Steelcase, culminating in her role as global AI strategist, she bridges the gap between complex technology and creative practice. In 2023, she launched her educational platform full-time, which has since trained over 8,500 designers on how to responsibly and effectively integrate AI into their workflows, from conceptual visualizations to administrative tasks and procurement.This episode is especially for you if: ✅ You want to understand why junior designers are often the most resistant to AI and how to address this education gap at the firm level.✅ You are curious about where AI tools can save the most time right now, especially in administrative, marketing, and procurement workflows.✅ You want to explore the real environmental implications of AI data centers and how to approach sustainable tech usage without taking an "all or nothing" approach.✅ You believe that adopting AI will ultimately elevate the value of human relationships and in-person connections within the architectural and design process.What have you done to take action lately?

Send us Fan Mail73% of marketers now use AI every day, and most of us feel the boost: more speed, more output, more “done”. But one number stops me cold: only about 30% say they're seeing significant measurable results. That gap is the signal. The big question for marketing leaders is no longer whether AI belongs in the team. It's whether AI is making our marketing better or simply making us faster at producing more.I unpack what the 2026 AI Marketing Industry Report from Michael Stelzner and the Social Media Examiner team really means for CMOs, founders, and growth leads. We talk about why AI makes marketing activity cheap while value creation stays hard, and why the future CMO role shifts toward orchestration: connecting business goals, customer needs, marketing technology, people, and outcomes. If your AI success metric is “hours saved” or “content shipped”, we're stopping too early. The board cares about what changes because of the work.We also explore the tension between visibility and differentiation, pulling in ideas I've discussed with Gary Vaynerchuk and Chris Do. AI discovery is real, and being present across formats matters, but when everyone can publish endlessly, the differentiator becomes deeply human: judgment, taste, courage, a clear point of view, and trust. With rising concerns about accuracy, reliability, data privacy, and security, trust is the one thing AI can't scale for you.This solo episode was recorded via Descript on August 26, 2026.

A controversial family photo went viral on X, and the reaction exposed something deeper than an argument over adoption.Why were some people who consider themselves conservative accusing a Christian family of betraying their own race because they adopted two children? Why did people read sinister motives into an ordinary family photograph? And what does this reveal about the direction of the online Right?In this episode of Conversations That Matter, Jon Harris examines the controversy surrounding a family with one biological daughter and two adopted sons, and argues that some online conservatives are losing the very principles they claim to defend.Adoption is not about abandoning your family or your society. It can be an expression of responsibility, paternalism, Christian charity, and a willingness to shoulder burdens for the sake of children and the community. The adopted children in this case were American children who came through the Nevada foster care system, not foreign children imported into the country.Jon also discusses:• Why adopted children should be treated as genuine members of the family• The Christian significance of adoption• How social media encourages paranoia and impulsive reactions• Why conservatism requires realism rather than utopian thinking• The relationship between adoption, family, and social stability• Why paternalism is not the same thing as cruelty• The Christian understanding of masculine strength and responsibility• The Western tradition of paternal responsibility• Why Christians should think about preserving society while also caring for vulnerable childrenThe larger question is simple: **What exactly are we trying to conserve?**Jon also shares an encouraging story from a recent visit to Word of Life in the Adirondacks and reflects on why Christians should not assume that Christianity is disappearing simply because the internet makes everything look like a crisis.This is a discussion about adoption, conservatism, Christianity, masculinity, paternalism, social media, and the responsibility we have toward the people and communities we will leave to the next generation.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Every health system is racing to adopt AI scribes, ambient listening, and predictive staffing tools, promising safer, more efficient care. But what about the people on the receiving end of all that innovation? On this episode of Elevate Care, host Tessa Misiaszek talks with Gerry Lupacchino, Senior Vice President of Human Experience at Hartford HealthCare, about what it really takes to keep technology adoption grounded in human connection. Gerry shares how Hartford HealthCare built its ambitious goal of becoming the most consumer-centric health system in the country on a foundation laid back in 2015: the belief that a strong colleague experience drives a strong patient experience. He explains why physicians, not administrators, are leading the organization's AI governance councils, and how tools like ambient listening are giving clinicians back the human connection that electronic health records once crowded out. The conversation takes an unexpected turn when Gerry describes a pattern few healthcare leaders talk about: it's often younger patients, not older ones, who are more hesitant about health technology and data sharing. He and Tessa dig into what that means for access, trust, and the responsibility health systems carry in meeting patients, and colleagues, exactly where they are. Key Takeaways Colleague experience drives patient experience. Hartford HealthCare's consumer-centricity strategy began with a commitment to how colleagues are listened to, communicated with, and treated, long before it became a patient-facing initiative. Physician-led AI governance builds trust. Hartford HealthCare's AI and innovation councils are led by physicians, ensuring new technology serves clinical judgment rather than replacing it. Younger patients aren't always the early adopters. Contrary to assumption, some of the strongest resistance to health technology and data sharing comes from younger consumers, not older ones. Ambient listening restores human connection. By removing the burden of manual documentation, ambient technology allows physicians to make eye contact, sit with patients, and focus on the conversation instead of the screen. Access meets people where they are. From a 24/7 virtual primary care app to an in-airport health kiosk, Hartford HealthCare is redesigning access points around how people already live, not how healthcare has traditionally been delivered. Leadership development matters as much as patient-facing technology. An AI coaching tool built on Hartford HealthCare's own leadership framework is helping managers build confidence and consistency across a newly hired workforce.

Over his ten years with Hartford HealthCare, the organization has grown from three hospitals and roughly 10,000 employees to ten hospitals, 600 locations, and 48,000 employees. Gerry's work centers on a guiding belief: healthcare organizations that want the best patient experience need to start with the best colleague experience.

In an interview with Creating a Family, Dr. Ross Greene, a Harvard Psychology professor, stressed that it was crucial for parents of children exposed to trauma to realize that kids want to do well, and if they are struggling, it is likely because they are lacking a specific skill needed to succeed.Resources:Helping Children Heal from TraumaPractical Guide to Parenting a Child Exposed to TraumaThe Explosive Child by Ross GreeneSupport the showPlease leave us a rating or review.  This podcast is produced by www.CreatingaFamily.org.

How does one ride with the wrong passenger turn an ordinary driver into a Bitcoin entrepreneur in El Salvador? I sat down with Pierre Valiente to find out, and his car rentals, airport transfers, and 14-room Bitcoin Casa guest house in San Salvador all accept Bitcoin, which makes life awkward for every critic who keeps telling me locals don't use it. The passenger was Sandy Wade, headed to the Adopting Bitcoin conference back in 2023. She tried to pay him with a $20 bill he couldn't break, he told her to keep it, and she invited him to the conference instead. Two days later he walked out understanding self custody, cold wallets, and why holding your own keys beats trusting a bank.The backstory alone is worth the listen. Pierre was born in Santa Ana, spent 22 years in Los Angeles, and taught English to special forces at a military camp in Dubai for four years before coming home to open his school near Metrocentro. That entrepreneurial streak is exactly what Bitcoin rewarded once he found it.His transportation business started with a single car after he noticed Bitcoiners landing at the airport with no good way to get around. Today the fleet runs from a Jeep Compass at $45 a day up to a brand new 4x4 at $60 to $65, insurance included, no hidden fees, every rental payable in Bitcoin. Anyone spending less than six months a year in the country should hear our rent-versus-buy conversation before letting a car rot through a wet season, and I speak from moldy experience.Bitcoin Casa is the hospitality side of the equation, a 14-room guest house seven minutes from the historic center that he built with his German partner for Bitcoiners who arrive with two suitcases and a plan. Short-term rentals run $35 a night, monthly stays run $500, and the rooms come with standing desks, Starlink, and a Bitcoin ATM in the lobby for anyone who wants to stack on arrival. He's already scouting Antiguo Cuscatlán and San Benito for location number two.Pierre's take on the adoption question might be the most honest one I've heard from a Salvadoran entrepreneur. Older folks sold their Chivo wallet bitcoin for fiat because nobody taught them what they were holding, and the younger generation grew up watching that mistake, so they want control of their own money. He calls himself part of the first wave, and he's hiring locals so the opportunity stays in the country.

Was braucht ein adoptiertes Kind, um sich in einer neuen Familie wirklich sicher zu fühlen? Welche Rolle spielen Erfahrungen, die es vor der Adoption gemacht hat? Und was können Adoptiveltern tun, um ihr Kind beim Ankommen zu unterstützen? Die Psychologin Dr. Ina Bovenschen erklärt in dieser Folge die Faktoren für eine gelingende Adoption, die Rolle der elterlichen Feinfühligkeit für eine sichere Bindung und das Entwicklungspotenzial von Kindern nach belastenden Startbedingungen. Außerdem geht es in dieser Folge um die Frage, warum manche Menschen ständig von Mücken gestochen werden und andere kaum.

Drop us some Fan Mail. Thanks!Children in foster care can experience far more than a change in placement. They may lose caregivers, siblings, schools, routines, communities, caseworkers, therapists, and other trusted relationships—sometimes again and again. What does that repeated instability mean for a child's behavior, sense of safety, and ability to trust?In this episode, we talk with Rita Soronen, President and CEO of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, about the impact of foster care instability and what caregivers and child welfare professionals can do to create greater stability and connection. We explore why challenging behavior can be a form of communication, how foster and adoptive parents can build safety through predictable routines and promises kept, why children's voices must be included in permanency decisions, and how child-focused recruitment can help children find lasting families. The conversation also explores the Wendy's Wonderful Kids model and why understanding a child's relationships, history, culture, and needs can lead to stronger permanency outcomes.Support the showPlease leave us a rating or review.  This podcast is produced by www.CreatingaFamily.org.

Could America build the world's best AI and still lose the AI race?What if the biggest threat to America's lead isn't China's technology, but our own fear of using it?Katrina Mulligan is Head of National Security Partnerships at OpenAI and previously served in senior roles at the Department of Defense, National Security Council, and Department of Justice. Few people have seen both Washington and frontier AI development from the inside.She argues that AI is no longer a technology question for the future. It is becoming core infrastructure for economic strength, national security, and the way we work.She discusses:●  Why America could win the race to AGI but lose on adoption●  Why trust in AI is dramatically higher in China and the developing world●  How China and the U.S. are taking fundamentally different approaches to AI●  Why AI may ultimately transform society as profoundly as electricity●  The biggest mistake leaders make when trying to adopt AI●  Why AI transformation cannot simply be delegated to the IT department●  How she has used AI to become at least 30% more effective at her own job●  Why using AI like a search engine means dramatically underestimating what it can doAmerica may currently have the advantage in building the most advanced AI.Katrina explains in today's 3 Takeaways™ conversation why that lead is far from guaranteed, how fear could become a strategic disadvantage, and why the countries and organizations that learn to redesign themselves around AI may ultimately have the most to gain.

We’re taking a deep dive into Virtual, Vodou, and Fundy Temples. It’s a fascinating look at secret and highly controversial world of divergent temples and modern groups of the Restoration. Following the assassination of Joseph Smith, the temple liturgy fractured like a prism, scattering the sacred rites of the Restoration in vastly different directions. https://youtu.be/L6vQWsbxxaE Don't miss our other conversations on temples: https://gospeltangents.com/mormon_history/lds-temples/ Copyright © 2026 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved What you will discover in this presentation: Lost Rites of Mormonism: Discover early temple ordinances that the mainstream LDS Church left behind, including the Law of Adoption (sealing members to prominent church leaders rather than biological parents), baptisms for health (ritual immersion for physical healing), and the controversial Oath of Vengeance. The 1978 Breaking Point: Understand how early 20th-century alterations to the endowment and the 1978 revelation lifting the racial ban on Black members became the “last straw” for fundamentalists, who believed mainstream temples were defiled and set out to build their own sacred spaces. Inside Secret Sanctuaries of Fundy Temples: Go behind the scenes of Warren Jeffs' isolated YFZ Ranch in Eldorado, Texas, and the dramatic 2008 paramilitary raid sparked by a hoax call. Plus, hear about an exclusive interview conducted inside the temple of Christ’s Church (the Righteous Branch) in Nevada, where they still practice the multi-hour 1877 St. George endowment and perform second anointings. Decentralized and Progressive Temples: Explore Missouri Independents who reject the traditional fundamentalist racial ban to allow Black members to receive full temple ordinances, and the progressive Church of Jesus Christ in Christian Fellowship (CJCCF) & Reform Mormons. Both churches conduct virtual temple worship over Zoom using “home temples” and ordain women to the priesthood. Mormonism Meets Haitian Vodou: Learn how Haitian Latter-day Saints engage in “bricolage,” beautifully blending Mormon temple theology about the thin veil between the living and the dead with indigenous Vodou ancestral veneration.

2026 market themes have been shaped by geopolitical realignment, the physical demands of artificial intelligence and changing assumptions about diversification. Across markets, investors are confronting several plausible futures rather than relying on a single base case.Host Oscar Pulido is joined by Stevie Manns, producer of The Bid, to revisit conversations with BlackRock leaders and external guests. Together, they connect insights on geopolitics, retirement, AI infrastructure, market concentration, portfolio construction, Asia, digital assets and tokenization.The discussion explores how these subjects form a broader story about preparation. Listeners will hear why AI investing increasingly involves energy and physical infrastructure, how concentration is changing the character of major equity indexes, and why a more dynamic and granular approach may be relevant as capital markets evolve.Key insights:· How geopolitical shifts are influencing markets, supply chains and economic policy· Why AI investing depends on power, data centers and infrastructure· How stock market concentration can affect diversification assumptions· Why portfolio construction may require multiple scenarios· Where Asia and digital assets are broadening the opportunity set· How tokenization could reduce friction in financial marketsEpisodes featured:246: Macro and Geopolitical Outlook - Live from Davos248: Retirement Realities: Ask Me Anything With Jaime Magyera250: Powering AI 2.0: Why The AI Boom is becoming an Energy Story257: Beyond The Magnificent Seven: Discovering Equity Opportunities in the S&P 493258: Portfolio Construction for A Changing World: Adapting to A Market Regime Shift259: Cryptoassets At A Crossroad: Volatility, Adoption and Changing Market Perspectives261: Why Are Global Investors Looking To Asia As An Investment Destination264: Is Tokenization The Next Evolution of Financial Market Infrastructure266: Midyear Outlook: Scarcity vs Abundance in The Age of AI268: AI's Latest Frontiers: An Investor's Perspective on Space, AI and Equity Opportunities2026 market themes, AI investing, portfolio construction, capital markets, digital assets, tokenization, geopoliticsThis content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

Send us Fan MailRetirement should be the beginning of your next meaningful chapter—not the end of your purpose.What happens when your career ends and the title, routine, responsibilities, and identity that shaped your life suddenly change? In this powerful episode of the Remarkable People Podcast, David Pasqualone sits down with Chris Maduri, founder of Vibrant Retirement, to explore how to find purpose after retirement, rebuild your identity beyond work, deepen your faith, and create a meaningful second act.Chris shares much more than retirement advice. He opens up about his own remarkable journey through adoption, struggles with identity, the devastating loss of his best friend, alcohol, divorce, multiple DUIs, jail, and the spiritual transformation that followed.During one of the lowest seasons of his life, Chris began reading the Bible, slowing down, becoming still, and developing a deeper relationship with God. That process helped him begin seeing himself differently—not according to his failures, income, career, achievements, or the opinions of other people, but through a completely different understanding of identity, grace, responsibility, and purpose.In this conversation, you'll discover:• Why financial preparation alone does not prepare you for retirement• How career and achievement can become dangerously connected to identity• Why you should begin designing your “second act” years before retirement• How to balance work, family, health, faith, and enjoying life now• Why stillness, prayer, listening, and self-awareness matter• How Chris rebuilt his life after addiction, DUIs, divorce, and jail• Why failure does not mean your life or purpose is over• How small acts of service can reveal a much larger purpose• Why purpose ultimately has to extend beyond yourself• How to stop endlessly preparing and begin taking meaningful action• Why you do not need to be perfect before you can add value to someone else's lifeOne of Chris's most powerful insights from the episode:“If you're looking for purpose, it has to be outside of you. No one's purpose is to help themselves.”Whether you are 25, 45, 65, approaching retirement, already retired, experiencing a major life transition, or simply wondering, “What does God want me to do next?”—this conversation is for you.Your career may eventually end.Your job title may change.But if you are still here, your life still matters—and there is still good you can do.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Send us Fan MailA dad can do a lot of things “right” and still miss the point. This conversation with Dave Welty hit me because he doesn't talk about fatherhood like a performance; he talks about it like a practice: show up, mean what you say, and take a breath when your kid is having a rough day. Dave Welty is the CEO and founder of Avier Wealth Advisors, a long-running wealth advisory firm in Bellevue, Washington.  However, what stood out most was his honesty about the moments that shaped him as a parent, from growing up with serious financial stress to learning, in real time, how to connect with two sons who are wired completely differently.We dig into what it looks like to support a kid without trying to control the story. Dave shares how his younger son, adopted from Guatemala, found joy and identity through live music, and how a simple daily routine during COVID turned into real trust and confidence. We also talk about youth sports and the pressure cooker it can become for families, including the moment Dave's son called him out for sideline coaching. Instead of doubling down, Dave listened and changed, and that shift is a blueprint for any parent trying to lead with humility.You'll also hear Dave's perspective on resilience and values: why your word matters, why presence matters more than perfection, and why opportunity is not evenly distributed. We even get into the leadership side of his work, including building a more diverse team on purpose and creating an environment where clients can feel seen and safe. If you care about fatherhood, parenting mindset, adoption, youth sports parenting, and leadership at home, this one stays with you.

When Rachel Bruno rushed her screaming seven-week-old newborn to the hospital, they told her he had a cranial fracture and a brain hemorrhage. It was a horrifying situation, made even worse by the fact that Rachel suspected that her nanny had been the one to potentially inflict this blunt-force trauma on her son. Little did Rachel know that she was the target of an unfair CPS investigation that would result in years of polygraphs and even potential jail time if charges had been pressed. From the state kidnapping of her 20-month-old son to the trauma of watching her newborn fight for his life after such a severe injury simultaneously, Rachel is a survivor of CPS gone wrong and administrative court overreach. She is an author, speaker, and advocate who warns about the victimization that can come at the behest of the court system and the state child welfare system.

What happens to a brand when the story it tells about its AI adoption moves faster than the results it can actually show?Agility isn't about telling that story faster. It's about being able to change what you say — repeatedly, as the technology changes — without losing the thread of what your company is actually for.Today, we're going to talk about the widening gap between AI ambition and business reality, and what that means for enterprise marketing leaders. Specifically, we'll cover:- The shift from selling an AI vision to proving tangible value.- How AI is pushing marketing into closer alignment with product and revenue.- What it takes to build trust — inside the company and out — when the outputs of AI systems are hard to explain.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Mark Abramowitz, Chief Marketing Officer at Dataiku.About Mark AbramowitzMark Abramowitz is Chief Marketing Officer at Dataiku, The Platform for AI Success.

Elle is a baby-scoop-era domestic adoptee born in NYC in May of 1969. She was adopted 2 months later into what was supposed to be a stable, religious family. For as long as she could remember, she was aware that both she and her older brother were adopted, but the details ended there. It was understood that questions were not welcome regarding the story of their adoptions.  Growing up, Elle always knew she was radically different from her adoptive family, both physically and in personality and character. With violence and dysfunction in the home, ceasing somewhat when her adoptive father left the family when she was in grade school, she could never understand why people would say, “You should be grateful”.  This tumultuous upbringing and lack of familial connection fueled her years-long search for identity and her birth family. Encountering many twists and turns along the way as well as some heartache and joy, Elle was able to meet with some biological family members while being repeatedly rejected by others, a situation that continues to this day.  In a story that spans over 30 years, Elle was able to get most of the answers she was looking for and a small bit of closure. “Coming out of the fog” has allowed her to find healing and to assist others by sharing her story and lived experience. She is currently living in New York and working on a memoir, tentatively titled “Adopted AF – Confessions of a Mad Ungrateful Adoptee.”Elle on YouTube Season 12 Book: The Adoption Paradox by Jean Kelly Widner Eventbrite Link: Live Podcast Event in Minneapolis, MN, Sept. 11th-13th Sign up to be part of our mailing list!

At Black Hat USA 2026 in Las Vegas, Daniel Bardenstein, CEO and co-founder of Manifest Cyber, starts with a gap his team measured in a survey of security leaders and practitioners. Leadership described one version of what is happening with AI inside the enterprise. The people doing the hands-on work described another. Adoption keeps moving, and security teams are working to catch up. So what is the real risk in AI security? Bardenstein puts less weight on non-determinism than most and more on ordinary poor software security, because AI is software. He walks through the OpenAI and Hugging Face incident, where models got out of sandboxes because the sandboxing was weak and the guardrails were missing. When Hugging Face went to use its own AI to defend and run forensics, the guardrails read the request as cyber activity and declined. That fallback to an open weight model points to why he expects open weight adoption to accelerate. With frontier models, the provider sets the system prompt and treats it as intellectual property, so development teams inherit whatever was decided upstream. Open weight leaves more room to control the system prompt, the training data, and how the model gets deployed. What does it mean to say AI has its own supply chain? Unless an organization controls how training data is sourced, housed, labeled, tagged, and modified, it is relying on something someone else built. Public datasets carry whatever is inside them, including personal and health data, licensing exposure, and material no one examined until models were trained and deployed. Models hosted on public hubs sit in the same category. Two asks come up in most CISO conversations with Manifest Cyber. Visibility is one, and few organizations have an AI inventory covering which models run where, inside which applications, and which agents teams have stood up on their own. Third party risk is the other, since AI is getting built into vendor products whether a buyer asks for it or not. That turns model provenance into a trust question about the vendor. Bardenstein started Manifest Cyber four years ago after responding to Log4Shell from the Pentagon, where the question was where one affected piece of code was running across everything the organization had built and bought. Years later, he finds few security leaders who could answer that question quickly about a poisoned model or dataset. His advice for CISOs is to know what is inside what the organization builds and buys, with particular attention to the parts it does not build. This is a Brand Spotlight. A Brand Spotlight is a ~15 minute conversation designed to explore the guest, their company, and what makes their approach unique.
