How can the future of giving be guided in ways that truly drive lasting impact? A historic wealth transfer, estimated at over $5 trillion in the next two decades, is reshaping philanthropic giving today. A new generation of donors is eager to align wealth with values and measurable outcomes. Yet the ecosystem of advisors crucial to translate this ambition into impact is still evolving, somewhat fragmented even and facing important questions of scale and structure.In this episode, AVPN Academy speaks with Kasey Oliver (Managing Director, Geneva Global) and Dien Yuen (Founder & CEO, Daylight) to explore who philanthropy advisors are, the role they play, and why their work is becoming increasingly critical. They reflect on emerging signals: the growing demand for skilled advisors, the frameworks that define professional practice, and the pivotal role Asia may play in shaping how philanthropic capital flows.Together, the conversation surfaces both the opportunities and the gaps in this field, and why building a stronger advisory ecosystem will matter for the future of giving across generations and geographies.Learn more about the resources featured in this episode:Geneva Global x Gates Foundation Research on the Constellation of AdvisorsDaylight's Philanthropic Advising Competency Model

Danielle Sulikowski, professor of evolutionary psychology, presents a controversial theory on why global fertility rates and birth rates are collapsing. She argues that an evolutionary strategy known as female mate suppression—where dominant women repress the reproductive success of rivals—has shifted in humans into a modern form of antinatal social contagion. Rather than direct biological suppression, the strategy manifests as propaganda and cultural messaging that discourage motherhood, promote career over family, and accelerate population decline. We explore how intrasexual competition among women could shape civilization itself, why some groups might defect against their own society to gain an evolutionary edge, and how this connects to broader debates in feminism, cultural evolution, and civilizational collapse. The conversation also ties in the density-dependent dynamics of Calhoun's Rat Utopia experiments as a possible parallel to modern urbanization, social media, and declining birth rates.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showOUR HOMEBREWED MUSICCheck out our band's new album:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereVinyl pre-orders available now: https://buy.stripe.com/14A5kC3Od5d21Ms7zPdEs0900:00 Go!

Can You Really Spot a Great Company Before Everyone Else Does? In this episode of REady2Scale, Jeannette Friedrich sits down with Lee McCabe, Partner at Claymore Partners and former executive at Meta, Alibaba, and Expedia. With deep experience in both technology and private equity, Lee shares how to uncover high-potential companies, particularly those hiding in “boring” sectors, by focusing on digital transformation, data-driven operations, and overlooked growth levers. Whether you're an investor, operator, or advisor, you'll gain practical insights into how leading firms are building value not just through financial engineering but through smarter marketing, better tech stacks, and operational efficiency. Key Takeaways: - Why old-school industries hold untapped value:Digitally underserved sectors like B2B and consumer services are ripe for disruption and value creation. - The power of a functional tech stack: Many businesses lack proper data infrastructure. Building a connected, insight-driven stack is step one to scaling sustainably. - What digital value creation really looks like:Private equity must shift from passive ownership to active operational involvement, especially in marketing and data analytics. - Lead generation is the real business: CEOs in services should view themselves as running lead generation engines. Conversion begins with optimised websites and media spend tracked to ROI. - AI hype versus reality: AI is not yet the silver bullet for most companies. Without basic data systems in place, AI becomes a distraction rather than a solution. - How to avoid data overload: Focus on the 10 to 15 KPIs that truly drive performance instead of drowning in dashboards and vanity metrics. - The real role of marketing agencies: Good agencies tie marketing spend directly to revenue and profitability instead of reporting on clicks and impressions. - Advising today's private equity investors:Future-leading firms will use defined operational playbooks focused on digital execution from day one rather than relying on traditional financial levers. - The compound effect of small steps:Lee shares his philosophy for building an extraordinary life: take consistent action every day, even when the direction is unclear.

Steve Palmer here - I'm joined by our resident law student, Troy Hendrickson, who's here to bring a fresh perspective and some real-life questions from the trenches.Today, Troy brings up a hot topic that's been making waves among his fellow clerks and across legal social media: Can courts stop ICE agents from making arrests inside the courtroom? We look into real cases—including one where a judge faced criminal charges for attempting to help a defendant evade ICE—and discuss candidly the legal and ethical limits for lawyers and judges when it comes to federal agents and immigration enforcement.We'll cover important concepts like the supremacy of federal law, what attorneys can and can't do when it comes to clients facing arrest, and where the line is between standing up for your beliefs and risking your career. Whether you're a law student, a practicing attorney, or just curious about the realities behind courtroom doors, you'll find plenty to chew on in this episode.Key Moments00:00 Judge Aids Defendant's Escape05:19 "Unpleasant Ethical Duties in Law"08:27 Legal Ethics: No Crime Assistance12:20 Arguing Both Sides Skillfully13:06 Mastering Argument: Embrace All SidesHere are my top 3 takeaways:Ethics over Emotion: As attorneys, our personal views can't trump ethical and legal obligations. Even if you disagree with the government's actions, taking active measures to help clients evade arrest (like sneaking them out the back) can cross into obstruction of justice—and carry real consequences.Know Where the Line Is: There's a critical difference between informing a client of a warrant and helping them hide or avoid law enforcement. Advising is part of the job; aiding in evasion is not.Federal vs. State Authority: The courtroom is a public forum, and ICE—as federal agents—cannot easily be banned from the space by local judges. The Supremacy Clause puts federal law above state, meaning local attempts to keep ICE out could backfire.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

Show Notes: Kendalle Cobb, a family physician, has been practicing in Cleveland since 2004. She graduated from George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, DC and completed her family medicine residency at Kaiser Foundation Hospital in Fontana, California. After a year in Boston, she returned to serve on the faculty at her former residency program. She met her husband, who taught at a boarding school in Claremont, California, and after they got married, they moved to Cleveland to be closer to his family. Family Physician and Physician Advisor Kendalle shares that family medicine, as a primary care specialty, takes a more holistic approach with the inclusion of counseling and a “cradle to grave” mentality that follows the patient through different stages of life. She sees patients 50% of the time in a family health center in the community. The rest of her time is spent as one of the associate chiefs of staff and as a physician advisor at Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, a five-year program that trains students to be physician investigators, focusing on research, scholarship, personal and professional development, and reflective practice. The physician advisor attests to the students' competency report is representative of the feedback that the students receive. Supporting Medical Students Kendalle talks about working as a physician advisor. She shares what she has learned in this role. One aspect she has realized is that people are often used to being self-sufficient, making it challenging to ask for help or to work in collaborative environments. She explains what some students struggled with in terms of peer-to-peer interaction, challenges of the assessment system, and accepting that there will always be areas of improvement. Kendalle helps normalize expectations for students. She also talks about the connections between her work as a physician advisor and as a family physician. The Partnership Aspect of Medicine When Kendalle first thought about becoming a doctor, she initially had an idea of being able to fix things, but now she appreciates the partnership aspect of medicine where she accompanies people along their path. She mentions that there is often a difference between the textbook ideal treatment and what's best for the patient in front of her. She explains that medicine is a team sport, and group work requires trust and collaboration, and while she didn't like group work in school, she realizes that, in medicine, no individual can do everything, and doctors rely on others to answer phones, send messages, and process refill requests. By understanding and addressing these challenges, doctors can help their students navigate the challenges they face and become better doctors. Counseling and Family Medicine Kendalle talks about how family medicine and her approach to counseling has evolved over time. During her residency, one afternoon a week was dedicated to mental health, in addition to didactic sessions, she had two hour-long patients, supervised by a family physician and psychiatrist. Over the course of her residency, she had an increasing number of clinic sessions to see an increasing number of patients with various physical and mental health concerns. She learned that some people just want to share their feelings without wanting to change anything. She shares a story of a patient who was upset about a situation, and although their conversation was not health related, it helped Kendalle support the patient in figuring out next steps. In addition to counseling, she also learned to use tactical phrases and questions to help patients make decisions that align with their goals. This approach allows for more effective communication and understanding of patients' needs and concerns. Creating a Safe Space for All Patients Kendalle discusses the importance of understanding and addressing various health issues in healthcare settings. She shares her experiences with the stub toe theory, which is really "broken arm theory," which is when a doctor attributes any concern with which a patient presents, to some other risk factor (smoking, obesity, gender identity). She also discusses the importance of considering factors that can affect health in interacting with patients. She shares a case of a woman with previously well-controlled blood pressure whose blood pressure was high. Kendalle uncovered a social stressor. Kendalle emphasizes the need to consider different priorities and the reasons behind people's decisions regarding their health. She avoids asking the question "why" and instead asks "what factors contributed" to the patient's decision or thoughts about their health issues. This approach helps patients feel less defensive and allows Kendalle to better partner with patients to manage their health. Confidentiality in the Doctor's Office Kendalle explains that she is often the doctor for more than one generation in a family, and she shares a story that stresses the importance of confidentiality in the doctor's office. She also talks about how difficult it can be when extended family members want to become her patients, but the fact that the family entrusts the doctor with their loved ones is special. She also talks about the trust, gratitude, and grace shown by the patients, and how these are the moments that stay with her. Influential Harvard Professors and Courses Kendalle mentions history professor Michael McCormick, who helped her develop confidence in analyzing primary sources from medieval and early modern Europe. She also mentions fundraising for CityStep by organizing a formal event in Memorial Hall.
