Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com Many of today's archaic federal systems have been built over decades. As a result, they are perfected but also fragile. One obvious source of vulnerability is the workforce that created it. It is hard to believe that COBOL was released in 1960 and is still active in some federal systems. The individuals who developed the code for these systems are now long past retirement age. Some code was accurately documented, and some were not. As a result, the process of transferring to a newer environment is fraught with concern. Until AI, the only way to understand the underlying code was for a human being to review it line by line. Everyone realized that this process was so tedious and time-consuming that an informal policy emerged, essentially patching the system. They kicked the can down the road for the next generation. Well, AI is her. It has the unique ability to review code, identify problems, and provide solutions quickly. This will drastically reduce the risk of moving antiquated systems from aging code systems. Today, we sat down with Kartik Mecheri from Karsun Solutions and Alan Thomas, former Commissioner of GSA FAS. During the interview, they offered suggestions on how best to accomplish the challenging task of digital modernization. Kartik emphasizes the value of a platform like ReDuX. Utilizing Amazon's Bedrock, ReDuX allows system developers to create a blueprint for the existing system. When combined with humans, this platform will save money on maintaining older systems and bring much-needed flexibility to new applications. Listen to learn how Karsun Solutions can reduce costs, increase flexibility, and improve efficiency in the process of digital modernization. The conversation also touched on the challenges of mission-critical systems, the role of AI in reducing risk, and the evolving job market, suggesting a shift towards strategic and innovative roles.

Alan Thomas is passionate about helping ordinary men and women unlock their extraordinary potential through life-changing weight loss. In 2017, Alan and his wife Angie created the *Rethink Dieting* process, shedding a combined 192 pounds. This experience inspired him to dedicate his life to coaching others out of the self-made prison of obesity and helping them rediscover the vibrant lives they were meant to live. Alan knows firsthand how exhausting and defeating it feels to live in an obese body. At 304 pounds, he felt trapped—not only physically uncomfortable but also overwhelmed with anxiety about his future. After decades of failed diets and countless mornings of hopelessness, Alan made a bold decision to take control. Through a transformative shift in mindset and public accountability, he lost 129 pounds in just 260 days. Today, Alan is on a mission to guide others through their own weight loss journeys. He helps men and women who feel stuck and discouraged to break free, reclaim their health, and live with confidence. Alan's coaching empowers his clients to lose the weight holding them back and embrace the extraordinary lives they were destined to live. https://transformmyfuture.com/

He also discusses the future of GSA's e-commerce contract vehicle and the potential opportunities for GSA, customer agencies and contractors.  Finally, Thomas addresses the ongoing systems modernization efforts at FAS and what it could mean schedule contractors and customer agencies.    Learn more about your ad choices.

In dieser Folge ist es mir, Jacqueline, wichtig, mit dir über die Begriffe “Freilernen” und “selbstbestimmte Bildung” beziehungsweise “Homeschooling” zu sprechen und diese voneinander abzugrenzen. In der medialen Darstellung werden zuletzt vermehrt völkische Lerngruppen genauso wie fundamentale Christen, Staatsleugner und Reichsbürger sowie bedürfnisorientierte, adultismuskritsische, kinderrechtsbemühte Familien in einen Topf geworfen. Beziehen die Begriffe all diese Strömungen mit ein oder wird allein durch die korrekte Verwendung der Begrifflichkeiten eine Nichtpassung deutlich?

I first met Josh Fleming when he visited the Sky Studios with family members in 2000. He was just 15 at the time, but already a professional race caller in Queensland. He'd debuted at Longreach a year earlier and had subsequently called the action at several far flung tracks. He was too young to take part in Sky's first “young race caller scholarship” but landed a job in his own right three years later. He's come a long way from that nervous start at Longreach, and the story makes for an interesting podcast. Josh recalls that brief visit to the Sky studios almost 25 years ago. He pays tribute to the grandmother who lived long enough to see him make his race calling debut. Josh cherishes memories of his meeting with the late Graham McNeice on that Sunday morning in 2000. The 39 year old calls regularly from Doomben, Eagle Farm and the Sunny Coast. He rates the popular tracks. Josh has just returned from his 21st visit to the Birdsville Cup. He talks of the unique two day carnival on the edge of the Simpson Desert. He says he was horrified in 1995 when his school teacher mother Alison announced her transfer to Barcaldine 1000 kms from his beloved Brisbane.  Josh talks of his friendship with stipendiary steward John Wallace who took him to several outback meetings, and was instrumental in getting him the Longreach “gig”. His debut was impressive enough to generate a few more race calling opportunities in the region. It was back to Brisbane in 2001 and some work experience at 4TAB. Josh looks back on his many “practice” calls at Doomben and Eagle Farm. He had invaluable input from Wayne Wilson and Alan Thomas. The dedicated broadcaster remembers with affection the beginning of his Sydney role with Skychannel. He was ust 18. Josh looks back on the experience he gained on provincial and country tracks. He seized the opportunity to cover city meetings for three months on Sky Racing Radio. He has some precious memories from that chapter in his career. He was thrilled to be offered the full time Brisbane role when Alan Thomas decided to pull up stumps. He's never forgotten Alan's final day on the Gold Coast. Two weeks after Alan's retirement Josh got to cover the Magic Millions meeting- a $10 million dollar race day. He called the easy win by Capitalist. Josh got a bonus on the day when he called the great sprinter Buffering in a $1 million dollar race. He remembers the special day in 2008 when he met his future wife Gabrielle at a Queensland picnic race meeting. Josh speaks with pride and affection about his two children Olivia and Jackson. He chooses to live in the picturesque Darling Downs township of Warwick. Josh says he doesn't mind the travel involved. To say he was born to be a race caller might seem to be a fanciful phrase- in Josh Fleming's case the old cliche holds true.

Interview with Alan and Angie Thomas.  On March 2, 2017, at the age of 55, Alan Thomas stepped on his scale and it read 304 pounds. Literally panic set in. It was the day after his 31st wedding anniversary, and 3 thoughts ran through his mind. First, he could not recall ever meeting a 65-year-old man that was more than 100 pounds overweight. His experience as a life insurance professional told him that he had less than 10 years to live. Second, he would likely be known as his wife Angie's first husband since he would probably be dead in less than 10 years. Third, that all the dreams he hoped to accomplish in the future would be cut short by his obesity. In that state of panic, while still standing on the scale, Alan reached for his cell phone and snapped a picture, because at that moment he made the decision to never see those numbers on a scale that he stood on again... Fast forward 260 days, Alan stepped on the same scale and weighed 175 pounds. He conquered a lifelong battle with obesity in 260 days. His wife,Angie, also lost 63 pounds in 190 days. Alan and Angie had been on dozens and dozens of diets and exercise plans and never been able to take off the weight. Today, Alan and Angie coach their clients to lose weight. The process, known as "Rethink Dieting," gets incredible results but Alan and Angie never tell anyone what to eat or what exercises to do but their clients unlock their potential as the weight releases. According to Alan, "If a diet or exercise plan were the answer, everyone would already be at their ideal weight. "The solution is never a diet it's a decision.

So many people think "weight loss" is just about a diet. We also think that being "overweight" is just a problem for another day. But what if underneath our wide-spread problem with weight is a series of crippling fears, doubts, and stories that are dragging down many parts of our lives, not merely our trousers. Weight loss isn't about looking good. It's about living a life of freedom, free to pursue what God made you for! Join me in this episode as my guest Alan Thomas explores his own story with weight loss, and outlines how he helps Christian men everywhere finally break free from the chains of being overweight or even obese. He doesn't tell anyone what to eat or what exercise to do. He simply confronts the stories we tell ourselves that are keeping us from living as free as God intends.

Alan Thomas teaches biology. But two decades ago, he joined the peace corps--and it changed his life. (This episode was recorded in December 2022.)

EPISODE 206: Interview with Alan and Angie Thomas. On March 2, 2017, at the age of 55, Alan Thomas stepped on his scale and it read 304 pounds. Literally, panic set in. It was the day after his 31st wedding anniversary, and 3 thoughts ran through his mind. First, he could not recall ever meeting a 65-year-old man that was more than 100 pounds overweight. His experience as a life insurance professional told him that he had less than 10 years to live. Second, he would likely be known as his wife Angie's first husband since he would probably be dead in less than 10 years. Third, all the dreams he hoped to accomplish in the future would be cut short by his obesity. In that state of panic, while still standing on the scale, Alan reached for his cell phone and snapped a picture, because at that moment he made the decision to never see those numbers on a scale that he stood on again... Fast forward 260 days, Alan stepped on the same scale and weighed 175 pounds. He conquered a lifelong battle with obesity in 260 days. Alan had been on dozens and dozens of diets and exercise plans and had never been able to take off the weight. Today, Alan coaches his clients to lose weight. His process, known as "Rethink Dieting," gets incredible results but Alan never tells anyone what to eat or what exercises to do. Alan's clients unlock their potential as the weight releases. According to Alan, "If a diet or exercise plan were the answer, everyone would already be at their ideal weight. "The solution is never a diet it's a decision."
