In this compelling Technology Reseller News podcast, publisher Doug Green speaks with Kristy Thomas, Senior Vice President of Global Channel and Alliances at Vonage, about the evolving intersection of AI and customer service. As a leading Cloud Communications Alliance (CCA) member and a pioneer in VoIP, Vonage is now placing ethical AI at the heart of its strategy for enterprise communications. Kristy dives deep into one of the most important — and often overlooked — issues in AI adoption: bias. She explains that AI bias in contact centers is less about human prejudice and more about the quality and governance of the data used to train and inform systems. “The bias is only as good as the data you're giving the AI,” she says, emphasizing the importance of data integrity, routine audits, and transparent data sourcing. Vonage is investing in building what Thomas calls "governed innovation." That includes ethical design, user consent, and AI systems that operate within clearly defined parameters. With tools like Vonage AI Studio, companies can now easily build voice-driven interfaces — what used to be complex IVR systems — in a low-code environment, dramatically reducing friction and increasing adaptability. Thomas highlights that Vonage's AI strategy is multi-threaded. The company is: Powering its own solutions with AI for real-time enhancements, Partnering with industry-specific providers for best-of-breed integrations, and Enabling customers to bring their own AI into the platform. Importantly, she notes a shift in how buyers approach AI: rather than being informed, many are overwhelmed. That's where Vonage's partners play a key role — helping customers identify high-ROI use cases and building practical business cases for AI adoption. Doug and Kristy also discuss how customer service is becoming the new marketing — a front line where loyalty is won or lost. “Even smaller companies can outpace Goliaths,” Kristy notes, when AI empowers a personalized and secure customer experience. Vonage's commitment to trust is backed by its alignment with Ericsson and a strong internal structure focused on compliance and security. Kristy previews Vonage's participation in Contact Center Week in Las Vegas, where the company will showcase real-world AI use cases that demonstrate measurable business outcomes.

As the Afrikaans language turns 100 today amid great turbulence in Afrikaner politics, Leon Louw, CEO of the Freedom Foundation, expresses doubt that any real Expropriation Without Compensation (EWC) will ever happen in South Africa against white commercial Afrikaans farmers. “I think that probably nothing will come of it. I would bet on it that there will be little or zero Expropriation Without Compensation of a true asset, commercial investment; maybe some abandoned land, maybe some derelict land somewhere that might be some sort of token. They will try a few and they will be so tied up in the Constitutional Court for years and years and years, that'll be the end of it.” He points out that Expropriation Without Compensation of black-owned properties “takes place constantly all the time and has done for a long time”. “It's black people… who don't have land title…” and can't afford to fight it in court. Louw, who is currently working on new research with statisticians, also urges people to get the “actual” statistics on the "real" distribution of wealth and income and land in South Africa. “And it's looking much different from what the popular rhetoric is.” Meanwhile, he advises Afrikaners what to be working and lobbying for that will make black South Africans “become their best friends”.

Just hours after the death of Pope Francis on Easter Monday, we take a step back to examine the enduring role of religion in shaping global politics. As crises multiply and chaos spreads, a growing number of people, especially young adults, are turning back to faith. But what does this resurgence mean for international relations?We explore how religious structures—from the hierarchy of the Catholic Church to the decentralised force of Evangelicals—shape policy differently. We dive into the influence of Orthodox Christianity in Russia, Sunni and Shia Islam in the Middle East, and the unique roles played by Confucianism in China and even Buddhism on the global stage.From legitimising war and empire to underpinning human rights discourse, religion has always had a seat at the table of power. The question is—how will that seat be used now?This podcast is published with the help of RAIA NOW gUG but is an individual project between the Director of RAIA Dario Hasenstab and Balder Hageraats.

In this episode, I explore a question that's long since intrigued me: why do some alliances flourish while others unravel? As an open-introvert who doesn't hate people (yes, hi, I am right here, I exist!), I've come to realise it's not about being opposites but about understanding the behaviours that trigger we introverts and learning to work with, not against, our differences. I share a variety of alliances and explore how they have helped me grow, learn and evolve, while some fizzled out due to unspoken frustrations or unmanaged differences. The game-changer? Recognising that most conflict isn't about personality, but behaviour. Let's reflect on how we introverts can build alliances that stretch, support, and help us evolve as individuals; without draining your precious energy.   *** Key Points *** Introvert–extravert partnerships work Conflict is behaviour-based Shared purpose over similarity   #IntrovertExtravertAlliance #ThoughtfulCollaboration #BehaviourNotPersonality #Introverts #Extraverts #FlourishingIntroverts #IntrovertVoices #OppositesThatWork   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

The Lebanese civil war that broke out in 1975 marked a dark chapter in the country's history and would have an impact on the region for decades afterwards. The conflict lasted for 15 years, as armed militias and their political sects battled for power. Alliances shifted over time and outside forces exploited the chaos for their own interests. An estimated 150,000 people were killed in the fighting and thousands went missing. The war depleted the country's public resources and caused turmoil for years after. But even after the war ended, the same sectarianism that fuelled the violence continued to thrive. It seeped into the country's political institutions, into every facet of society, and it decimated the economy. Corruption and clientelism became the status quo. This led to a cycle of violence, popular uprisings and government stalemates. On this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher marks the 50th anniversary of the outbreak of the civil war with a look back at the events that shaped it, how it changed people's lives and the complicated legacy that scarred the country. She speaks to experts and academics and asks, how much has really changed today?

The episode, recorded live at Shoptalk in the Berns Communications Group media room, opens with Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc surveying a broad sweep of headline-grabbing developments in the retail world. They highlight continued uncertainty around recently imposed tariffs and resulting economic ripples, as major international trade disputes stoke inflationary concerns. Stock market volatility factors heavily into the conversation, with the co-hosts noting how certain retail sectors—particularly home furnishings and high-end goods—may feel the pinch as shoppers tighten budgets.  Target's declining foot traffic draws focus as the hosts weigh whether brand controversies or stiff competition might be to blame. Next meet Barrie Scardina, President, Americas Retail Services at Cushman & Wakefield, who brings a fresh perspective born of decades in the retail industry. Her vantage point on commercial real estate challenges the traditional narrative of a “retail apocalypse.” She explains how, despite headlines about store closings, overall U.S. vacancy rates are incredibly low—largely because new construction has slowed and new types of tenants (from wellness providers to entertainment concepts) are snapping up available space. Barrie describes a rising tide of “experiential” retail, with everything from boutique fitness and medtail services to immersive brand pop-ups fueling a renewed sense of purpose in physical locations. She underscores how mixed-use developments and adaptive reuse—especially of outdated mall anchor spots—are revitalizing communities and increasing foot traffic. By blending residential, office, dining, and retail, these centers offer a lifestyle-oriented experience that resonates with modern shoppers. Ultimately, Barrie's insights challenge conventional wisdom, suggesting that success in retail real estate hinges on tapping into evolving consumer demands, fostering a community connection, and creating spaces that balance function with memorable experience. AboutBarrie Scardina joined global real estate solutions firm Cushman & Wakefield as Executive Managing Director and Head of Retail Services, Americas, in November of 2019, leading brokerage teams to deliver optimal solutions to retailers and brands. In 2022, Barrie was elevated to the role of Regional President, Northeast, leading brokerage and services across all service lines. In 2023, she took on the challenge of President of Americas Retail Services, Agency Leasing and Alliances, partnering across office, industrial and retail to provide nuanced client solutions. Barrie is consistently focused on delivering value to clients by serving as a trusted advisor and incorporating data, analytics, and business valuation as part of her strategies. This unique approach to client relationships ensures that the firm delivers against client goals, optimizing outcomes and mitigating risk. Barrie is results-oriented and remains focused on transforming the real estate landscape by strategically driving revenue, identifying operational efficiencies, and growing profitability. Prior to her appointment at Cushman & Wakefield, Barrie spent three decades leading vital retail initiatives across a variety of world-class organizations, including Polo Ralph Lauren, Liz Claiborne, The Children's Place and Tory Burch. She brings more than 15 years of executive experience to her current role with the firm, including expertise in creating long-range strategies, business forecasting, omni-channel inventory management, and system implementation and integration. Most recently, Barrie was with Calvin Klein, where she led the company's North American Retail Division as President, setting strategic direction for merchandising, consumer experience and operational improvements. Throughout her career, Barrie has focused on mentoring and developing talent and creating cultures that foster collaboration and equality. She is the executive sponsor for Cushman & Wakefield's Women's Integrated Network and serves on two diversity committees focused on improving the employee experience.AffiliationsGraduate of the Wharton School of Business' Philips Van Heusen Global Leadership Program (2017)Board Member of Safe Horizon (2017-2019)Member of Women's Retail Leadership Circle (WRLC)Member of the International Council for Shopping Centers (ICSC)Member of CHIEF Private Women's NetworkExecutive Sponsor of Cushman & Wakefield's Women's Integrated Network National ChapterMember of CREW NY; Participant at National levelRecognized by Globe St. as a Woman of Influence (2020) About UsSteve Dennis is a strategic advisor and keynote speaker focused on growth and innovation, who has also been named one of the world's top retail influencers.

Paula White is center stage once again as a number of Christian leaders meet at the Oval Office to pray over President Donald Trump.

Australian defence officials are preparing to choose whether to buy warships from Germany or Japan. It’s an $11 billion decision – and is about far more than ship design and cost. Given Japan describes Australia as its most important security partner after the United States, our decision will send a signal about whether the relationship is reciprocated. These considerations have been sharpened by the recent appearance of the Chinese navy off our shores – and by the Trump administration's reshaping of American foreign policy. Today, special correspondent for The Saturday Paper Jason, Kootsoukis, on the frigate deal that could cement the Japan-Australia alliance, or sink it.

The determined attempt to thwart Ottoman dominance was fought by Muslims and Christians across five theaters from the Balkans to the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean, from Persia to Russia. But this is not merely the story of a clash of civilizations between East and West. Europe was not united against the Turks; the scandal of the age was the alliance between King Francis I of France and Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. Meanwhile, the resistance of the Saadi dynasty of Morocco to Ottoman encroachment played a critical role in denying Constantinople direct access to the Atlantic Ocean. By the same token, though religious imperatives were critic al to the motivations of all the key actors involved, these in no way fell neatly along the Christian Muslim divide. The Holy Roman Emperor Charles V desired nothing more than to eradicate the Protestant heresy metastasizing throughout his domains, but the threat of Turkish invasion forced him to stay his hand and indulge his Lutheran subjects to ensure a common defense. Nevertheless, the collective effort to constrain the expansion of the Ottoman superpower did succeed with the ultimate victory in 1571 the tipping point in reordering the trajectory of history. To explore these facets of medieval and early modern European history is today’s guest, Si Sheppard, author of “Crescent Dawn: The Rise of the Ottoman Empire and the Making of the Modern Age.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
