In Episode 21 of Alphas Make Sandwiches, Ashe in America is joined by Christy Lupo, Jackie Espada, Stephanie Casey, and Holly at Altitude for a wild ride through scent-triggered memories, cultural decay, and AI-generated devilry. What starts as a fun discussion about nostalgic smells (hello, cucumber melon) quickly pivots into a serious deep-dive on controversial sex education programs in Colorado and beyond. The panel explores a disturbing "sex camp" for fifth to eighth graders, the weaponization of policy to hide gender identity changes from parents, and the broader global agenda targeting children via public schools, all tied to UN goals and public-private partnerships. Holly breaks down shocking examples of critical race theory in her niece's classroom, while Jackie and Christy test ChatGPT to ask: “If you were the devil, how would you destroy a generation?” The AI's answers are chilling, and all too familiar. The episode wraps with practical photo tips for Instagram success and a reminder that propaganda can come disguised as empowerment. Bold, funny, and a little terrifying, this is one of the most wide-ranging and thought-provoking AMS episodes to date.

Job interviews have always been a daunting prospect for a number of reasons. And the process is only getting more time-consuming for candidates, without offering increased chances of success. According to a June 2023 report from the Josh Bersin Company and AMS, the average recruitment process now take a whopping 44 days. As if all this isn't demanding enough, interviewers like to throw in the occasional curveball too when meeting candidates. One such example is the coffee cup test, which gained attention in 2019 after a man called Trent Innes, then Managing Director of Xero Australia, appeared on The Venture Podcast with Lambros Photios to discuss his hiring strategy. Why are we talking about it in 2023 then? Why is there a growing emphasis on soft skills in the workplace? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

In this episode of Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers welcomes back David LeFevre from Sales Power to dive into the transformative role AI is playing in the insurance industry. They explore how technology, specifically AI, can revolutionize data management, client experience, and operational efficiency in insurance agencies. David LeFevre brings fresh insights into how AI can enhance agency processes by working smarter with data, streamlining the interaction between agency management systems and CRM platforms like HubSpot. They discuss the growing potential of using AI to clean and unify agency data, making it cleaner, more accurate, and easier to leverage for automation and decision-making. Key Highlights: The AI Revolution in Insurance David unpacks the hype around AI, focusing on its real-world applications for insurance agencies. From AI's ability to assist with data-driven decision-making to streamlining day-to-day operations, they discuss the growing role of AI in enhancing agency performance. The Role of Clean Data in AI Success David LeFevre explains the importance of good, unified data for AI systems to work effectively. He shares how AI's effectiveness is directly tied to data quality and why agencies need to focus on having clean, well-maintained data for AI to deliver accurate and valuable results. HubSpot as a Comprehensive CRM Solution The conversation shifts to the capabilities of HubSpot as an all-in-one solution for insurance agencies. David LeFevre highlights how HubSpot, integrated with agency management systems, is positioning itself as a viable alternative to traditional AMS platforms. He explains how agencies can leverage HubSpot to not only manage leads and client information but also streamline their operational workflow. PowerSync: Solving the Data Integration Problem The episode dives deep into PowerSync, a product by Sales Power designed to sync agency management systems with HubSpot. David and David discuss how PowerSync solves the data integration problem, allowing agencies to have a single, accurate source of truth for all client information across systems. This integration enhances customer experience and provides a more streamlined workflow. AI-Driven Customer Service & Account Management David shares how agencies can use HubSpot's Service Hub combined with AI to enhance client experience and improve account management. With features like unified inboxes, AI assistance, and ticket management, agencies can respond to customer needs faster, more efficiently, and with less room for human error. The Importance of Continuous Data Cleanup One of the challenges discussed in the episode is the need for continuous data auditing and cleanup. David explains how agencies can use automation tools like robotic process automation (RPA) to streamline this process and ensure that data remains clean, even as it flows across multiple systems. The Future of AI in Insurance The conversation wraps up with a discussion on where the future of AI is headed in the insurance industry. From sentiment analysis in customer interactions to improved data management, David LeFevre emphasizes that AI's potential is vast, but agencies must first ensure they have the right infrastructure and clean data in place to fully capitalize on it. This episode is a must-listen for insurance agency owners and leaders looking to integrate AI into their operations and harness the full potential of clean, actionable data for driving growth and improving client relationships.

The conversation around AI in talent acquisition often focuses on incremental improvements and point solutions – better job descriptions, faster candidate matching, or automated interview scheduling. But this limited view dramatically underestimates the fundamental transformation that's already underway. While many are still debating whether AI is overhyped, there is growing evidence that it is actually significantly underhyped, with implications far beyond what most TA leaders are preparing for. So, how can TA move beyond tactical AI implementations to develop the strategic capabilities that will soon be essential? My guest this week is Jonathan Kestenbaum, Managing Director of Tech Strategy at AMS and a long-time trusted authority in work tech innovation. Jonathan cuts through the noise to explain why current industry discussions around AI are missing the bigger picture – a future where talent acquisition transforms into strategic orchestration and the way organizations attract and deploy talent is fundamentally reshaped . In the interview, we discuss: The unprecedented speed of change compared to previous tech cycles The current AI use cases that hint at a much more significant transformation ahead Why recruitment processes need a complete redesign, not just automation The split between humans and machines and the impact on jobs Skills based firing Moving from talent acquisition to talent orchestration What do TA Leaders need to do right now What does the TA Tech stack of the future look like Follow this podcast in Apple Podcasts.

På 1960-talet skrek svenska industrier efter arbetskraft. Samtidigt var över hälften av de gifta kvinnorna hemmafruar. Det här är en bearbetning av ett program från 2015. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. På ett par decennier gick en halv miljon kvinnor ut i förvärvslivet, men det skedde inte helt av sig själv. Aktiveringsinspektörerna var en grupp som spelade roll i mitten på 1960-talet. När Åsa Lundqvist, professor i sociologi, intervjuade en kvinna i ett annat projekt nämnde hon att hon jobbat som aktiveringsinspektör.Det var en yrkesgrupp Åsa Lundqvist aldrig tidigare hört talas om, trots att de verkar ha varit viktiga för familjepolitiken på 1960-talet. Det fick henne att vilja skriva en bok om denna bortglömda del nutidshistoria.Hon sökte upp flera av de tidigare aktiveringsinspektörerna och intervjuade dem. De intervjuerna och arkivmaterial från AMS, Arbetsmarknadsstyrelsen och Arbetsmarknadsverket, blev till en bok, om en bortglömd del av vår nutidshistoria.I programmet medverkar Åsa Lundqvist professor i sociologi vid Lunds universitet.Reporter: Lena Nordlund

What do prison romances, super glue pranks, and shower habits have in common? They all sparked hilariously uncomfortable conversations in this week's episode of "My Wife, My Ex-Wife and Me."Denny transforms into a newscaster for the day, leading Amanda, Jams, and Brayden through a whirlwind tour of the world's most bizarre headlines. We kick things off with the story of a 26-year-old prison officer who risked everything for a relationship with an inmate, prompting us to explore why seemingly stable people make such self-destructive choices. Is it daddy issues, as Jams suggests, or something more complex about forbidden attraction?The laughs continue as we dive into scientific studies about oral sex benefits that none of us asked for but can't stop discussing. Did you know certain bodily fluids contain compounds that might boost your mood? Neither did we, and our reactions range from fascinated to horrified.Things take an even stranger turn when we debate whether a man was justified in suing his brother-in-law after waking up with super glue in his belly button. The resulting family drama leads us down a rabbit hole of personal stories about inappropriate medical emergencies that will have you simultaneously cringing and cackling.Perhaps most revealing is our candid discussion about Americans' shower habits, with all four hosts admitting to peeing in the shower—though Brayden's confession about doing it when the water isn't running leaves everyone speechless. We also tackle Casey Anthony's tone-deaf attempt at reinvention through TikTok and explore why she can't seem to understand that disappearing from public view might be her best option.We wrap up with our signature "Relationship Advice with Ams and Jams" segment, where we brutally dismantle questions about controlling spouses, pet conflicts, and sexual insecurity. Our advice might not be gentle, but it's refreshingly honest in a world of sugar-coated solutions.Ready for a podcast that doesn't shy away from the uncomfortable?

Ready for a hilarious geography showdown that will make you question everything you thought you learned in school? Join us for a state capitals quiz that quickly descends into chaotic competition, revealing just how rusty most of us are when it comes to basic US geography.What starts as a simple trivia game transforms into a high-stakes battle filled with confident wrong answers, frustrated outbursts, and score tallies that plummet into negative territory. Watch as our contestants struggle to match states with their capitals, sometimes missing the answers for places they've actually lived! From confidently declaring Minneapolis as Minnesota's capital to the baffling moment someone blurts out "New Hampshire" when asked about Connecticut, this episode proves that "common knowledge" isn't so common after all.The competition intensifies with lightning rounds, bonus questions, and a final riddle that determines the ultimate geography champion. But the entertainment doesn't stop there – we shift gears to our popular "Relationship Advice with Ams and Jams" segment, tackling thorny questions about infidelity, trust issues, and whether that suspicious "bug bite" on someone's neck is actually a hickey (spoiler: it definitely is).Through laughter, geographical confusion, and brutally honest relationship advice, this episode reminds us that sometimes the most entertaining moments come from the things we think we should know but absolutely don't. Whether you're a geography whiz looking to feel superior or someone who still confuses Springfield and Sacramento, this episode promises to entertain while making you secretly grateful for GPS navigation.Subscribe now and join us for weekly episodes that blend competition, conversation, and comedy in ways you won't find anywhere else!

Welcome to Printing Money Episode 26! For this episode, Danny is joined by Dayton Horvath, Director of Emerging Technology at AMT (and Printing Money alum!). Danny and Dayton had some quality time to plan this episode, having both just been at Additive Manufacturing Strategies a couple weeks ago. And the planning was needed, because there have been a lot of noteworthy deals not just in the last month, but also some in Q4 which we hadn't had time to cover. Danny and Dayton start off by reviewing AMS 2025. Speeches by Stratasys CEO Yoav Zeif, AM Research's Scott Dunham, and The Barnes Global Advisors' John Barnes are all referenced as the additive manufacturing (AM) “industry” struggles to establish its value and confronts its status as a standalone (or not?) technology. Next, drawing upon AMT data, Dayton takes us through the 2024 year that was in 3D printing M&A and investment (Hint… not a great year!). Danny and Dayton also highlight some of the most notable 2024 deals. Then Danny and Dayton jump into Printing Money's bread and butter, analyzing recent deals across the 3D printing landscape. Some themes include software companies buying simulation companies, a continuing focus on AM for military and defense, and AUKUS, more specifically Australia.

Contributor: Jorge Chalit-Hernandez, OMS3 Educational Pearls: Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is the term given to what is otherwise colloquially known as altitude sickness High altitude cerebral edema (HACE) is a severe form of AMS marked by encephalopathic changes Symptoms begin at elevations as low as 6500 feet above sea level for people who ascend rapidly May develop more severe symptoms at higher altitudes The pathophysiology involves cerebral vasodilation Occurs in everyone ascending to high altitudes but is more pronounces in those that develop symptoms The reduced partial pressure of oxygen induces hypoxic vasodilation in the brain, which results in edema and, ultimately, HACE in some patients Symptomatic presentation Headache, nausea, and sleeping difficulties occur within 2-24 hours of arrival at altitude HACE may occur between 12-72 hours after AMS and presents with ataxia, confusion, irritability, and ultimately results in coma if left untreated Clinical presentation may be mistaken for simple exhaustion, so clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion Notably, if symptoms occur more than 2 days after arrival at altitude, clinicians should seek an alternative diagnosis but maintain AMS/HACE on the differential Treatment and management AMS Adjunctive oxygen and descent to lower altitude Acetazolamide is used as a preventive measure but is not helpful in acute treatment +/- dexamethasone HACE Patients with HACE should receive dexamethasone to help reduce cerebral edema Immediate descent to a lower altitude References Burtscher M, Wille M, Menz V, Faulhaber M, Gatterer H.
