Food security has emerged as a critical challenge, defined by access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food. As AI becomes a new frontier in food systems, with applications ranging from accelerating ingredient discovery to enabling precision agriculture, the gap between pilot initiatives and large-scale deployment remains substantial, particularly in Asia-Pacific where the majority of the world's food is produced and consumed. With food security at stake, what will it take to move from isolated pilots to true systemic transformation?

This week Nicola and Di chatted with the award-winning journalist, Michael Usher. Michael has spent more than three decades at the centre of some of the biggest stories in Australia and around the world, and in this episode he takes us right into the thick of it. Now the chief network anchor at 7 News and host of Spotlight, Michael has covered war zones, 9/11, the Iraq War, royal weddings, the Queen's funeral, and so much more. We could have listened to his stories for hours! We chat to Michael about how a defining moment as a teenager, watching Australian correspondents reporting from the other side of the world, set him on the path to journalism. He shares the wild, wonderful chaos of cutting his teeth as a young reporter in Kalgoorlie, before landing his big break in Sydney at just 23, and the extraordinary twist of fate that saw him report live from New York on the morning of September 11. We also talk about some of the most memorable moments of his career, including an unforgettable, switch-flicking interview with the Duchess of York, and the circus of covering the Rose Porteous and Gina Rinehart saga early in his career. Michael opens up about the toll that years of travel and war reporting took on his family life, the guilt that comes with missing milestones, and how humour, a good curry, and a glass of red have helped him process some of the hardest things he's witnessed. One of the most moving parts of the conversation is Michael's account of covering the Abdallah and Sakr families' extraordinary story of forgiveness after the death of four children in a car crash, and the powerful impact that story had on families watching at home. We also get his take on covering the Bondi tragedy with care and calm, why he said yes to Dancing with the Stars despite being terrified, and the wisdom he'd offer his 20-year-old self after three decades in the industry. We loved getting to know the man behind the calm, familiar voice we've all grown up watching. We hope you love this episode as much as we did!

FedRAMP has changed before. What makes the Consolidated Rules for 2026 different is that the dates are on the calendar and the fence sitters have run out of runway. Jason Ford, Co-Founder and CEO of Steel Patriot Partners, has been inside the program since Rev 3 in 2013. Michael Parisi, Chief Growth Officer, comes at it from the business side. Together they map what changes and, more usefully, what it means for the decision in front of a provider right now. So what actually changes? The program consolidates into two paths, 20X and Rev 5. FedRAMP Ready moves to legacy status. Class A, B, and C pipelines open across a thirty to sixty day window, mandatory adoption arrives January 1, and new Rev 5 certifications close on June 11, 2027. Authorized becomes certified. Jason Ford also points out where the rules live: fedramp.gov, hosted in GitHub, which means they move with a commit. Reading them once is not tracking them. Why did FedRAMP need to change at all? Michael Parisi frames it as a supply problem. Agencies and primes have been working from a limited and aging set of technologies while better tools sat outside a process that was slow, rudimentary, and expensive. The action was warranted. His follow-up question gets less airtime: if the process moved faster, did responsibility move with it, and does the stakeholder now holding that due diligence know it yet? The engineering shift is real and it is the part most teams see coming. Jason Ford describes RMF thinking giving way to continuous DevSecOps, proving compliance in real time rather than at a point in time. Vulnerability remediation is where the compression bites. CISA's updated guidance drops severity score as the driver in favor of stepped prioritization, and windows that used to run 30, 60, and 90 days now land closer to three to twenty-one. What does this cost a business past the budget line? Time and capacity. 20X is faster than a Rev 5 process that once ran eighteen months, but faster is not instant. Retraining a couple hundred users inside a thousand-person organization is not a small endeavor, and if the transition eats half of the organization's capacity for a year, that is half as much capacity aimed at the business paying for it. Jason Ford is not arguing against the move. He is arguing that disruption belongs inside the decision. Then there is the internal work almost nobody has started. Mapping an existing Rev 5 ATO scope into a new certification level is not clear-cut, and past the mapping, marketing and sales both need re-education. Michael Parisi describes building a translation layer for customers: here is what we provided before, here is what it is now, and this change came from the program rather than from any reduction in assurance. Roughly half the time, Steel Patriot Partners tells organizations not to pursue certification at all. Michael Parisi treats that as one of the more valuable things the firm does. The opposite failure shows up just as often, with companies preparing to spend heavily on 20X because it sounds quicker and cheaper, when the agency or prime they are chasing expects a certification level. A lower bar only helps if the buyer accepts it. Where should a business start? With the business conversation. Michael Parisi notes the answer does not have to be yes or no today; it can be a maybe with defined trigger points. Jason Ford closes on posture: come with an open mind, and do not hand a multi-year commitment to a language model whose guardrails and training are not built for that call. Or, shorter: don't wait, and don't go it alone. Steel Patriot Partners built a three-question starting point for that first conversation at https://www.steelpatriotpartners.com/find-your-path.

Product content used to be viewed as a relatively tactical function. Today, it increasingly feels like core commerce infrastructure. From your perspective, what changed?Many brands still underestimate how much poor product content impacts conversion, discoverability, and retail relationships. What are the biggest operational gaps you continue to see across organizations?AI-generated content is creating enormous new possibilities, but also a lot of noise and inconsistency. How should executives think about balancing scale, governance, and product experience quality?One thing becoming clear is that the digital shelf is no longer just about PDP optimization. It increasingly influences search visibility, retail algorithms, advertising efficiency, and even supply chain performance. How interconnected has this ecosystem become?Looking ahead, where do you think product experience infrastructure evolves over the next several years, especially as AI agents and machine-driven shopping behaviors become more common?

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.We sat down with Brookfield Private Equity CEO Anuj Ranjan. We were live from Berlin, which becomes the “capital of private capital” in June as private equity industry leaders make the annual pilgrimage to the city for one of the marquee private equity conferences, SuperReturn Berlin.With Prosek Partners and former Bloomberg TV journalist Deirdre Bolton as my producer, along with her team, we took over a Tiny Space cabin to hold big conversations with some of the industry's leading alternative asset managers.Brookfield has a rich legacy as an asset owner and operator of some of the “businesses that drive the global economy.” Brookfield is a firm where skin in the game (~25% of every fund includes an investment from Brookfield's balance sheet) meets scale and synergies across its investment platform, which spans private equity, infrastructure, real estate, credit, and energy.Now, they are looking to own what's next.What will the next era of private equity require?

"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast which brings listeners to the frontline in the battle against antisemitism, hate and extremism through conversations with ADL staff, advocates and, in this podcast, three people who spend their careers confronting hate in one of the most trusted institutions in American life: our hospitals, our medical schools and our healthcare system. This podcast an edited version of a webinar titled "Hate in Healthcare? Antisemitism in the Health Profession and Ways to Counter It." It was co-sponsored by ADL's Westchester activist group and the ADL NY/NJ Region's Campus Committee. So why healthcare? Because most people do not think of a hospital or a medical school as a frontline in the fight against antisemitism, but it is. Dr. Halperin, one of this podcast's guests, has spent decades documenting the history of Jewish quotas in American medical education, a period when nearly 60 percent of medical school applicants nationally were Jewish, yet admissions were capped at somewhere between 5 and 20 percent. That history is not as distant as we would like to believe. A 2025 survey of Jewish healthcare professionals found that more than 75 percent reported experiencing antisemitism in their own workplace since October 7th. Just this past May, Congress held a hearing titled "Bad Medicine: Politics, Unions and Antisemitism in Health Care" to examine exactly this problem. As one of this podcast's guests testified before that very committee, antisemitism in medicine is, at its core, a patient care crisis. So who is confronting this inside the walls of our medical schools and our healthcare institutions? This podcast offers three answers to that question with its three esteemed guests: - Dr. Edward Halperin is Chancellor and Chief Executive Officer of New York Medical College, where he is also a professor of radiation oncology, pediatrics and history and holds an endowed chair in biomedical ethics after the Holocaust. He is one of the country's foremost historians of antisemitism in American medical education, having spent decades documenting the quotas that limited Jewish enrollment in medical schools for much of the twentieth century, and he has continued that work by speaking out on antisemitism in the medical profession today. - Eveline Shekhman is the Chief Executive Officer of the American Jewish Medical Association, the national professional organization for Jewish healthcare professionals, founded in the aftermath of October 7th. She leads AJMA's work supporting Jewish physicians, fellows, residents and medical students facing discrimination and hostile workplace environments, and she recently testified before Congress on the rise of antisemitism and anti-Zionism in American healthcare. - And Masha Zemtsov is ADL's Director of education advocacy, helping schools, universities and institutions build the tools and policies needed to recognize and respond to antisemitism before it takes root. Her work bridges exactly the gap we are here to talk about tonight: what happens when the institutions meant to train and support our healthcare professionals are not yet equipped to confront hate within their own walls. The podcast starts with an overview of the history of antisemitism in medical schools with Dr. Halperin and then jumps right into the moderated discussion with Eveline and Masha.

This week Nicola and Di welcome a very special double act, Grant Denyer and his wife Chezzi. Grant has spent decades entertaining Australians on television with his quick wit, boundless energy, and refreshing honesty about life's highs and lows. Chezzi's journey into spirituality and intuitive work has inspired so many to think differently about life's deeper questions. Together, this couple have weathered incredible highs and real challenges, and we loved every minute of getting to know their story. In this episode, we chat to Grant and Chezzi about how they met as colleagues who, by their own admission, didn't even like each other at first, until the moment when everything changed. We also talk candidly about the aftermath of Grant's horrific accident and the painkiller addiction that followed, and how Chezzi found herself thrust into the role of carer within weeks of their relationship beginning. It's raw, honest, and a powerful reminder of what it means to show up for someone through the hardest of times. We also dive into Chezzi's incredible book, The Weird Little Girl Who Talked to Ghosts, and her lifelong connection to spirit. She opens up about the childhood experiences she didn't understand, to losing touch with her gift entirely, to the profound loss that brought it flooding back. Her stories about the messages she's able to deliver, and the healing it brings to grieving families, are truly beautiful to hear. Grant and Chezzi also open up about the work they've each done on themselves around understanding their childhood wounds, learning how those patterns show up in marriage, and how self-awareness (rather than blame) has helped them build a stronger relationship. We talk about Grant's Gold Logie win, his fear of failure, and Chezzi's beautifully instinctive approach to life. This is one of those conversations that has it all: laughter, honesty and real wisdom. We had the best time chatting with Grant and Chezzi and we hope you love this episode as much as we did!

Welcome back to a special encore presentation of Turn on the Lights! As we continue our transition series, our new host, Dr. Philip, has selected one of our most impactful and widely listened-to conversations from the archives to revisit. He introduces this timely discussion with Chris Van Gorder, which explores how cost shifting, regulatory mandates, and Medicare Advantage risk transfer are pushing healthcare toward structural unaffordability. Summary: Leading a major health system today means juggling patient-first ethics with a financing model that keeps tightening the screws. In this episode, Chris Van Gorder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Scripps Health, explains why health care is becoming structurally unaffordable amid soaring premiums, uncompensated emergency care, and rising input costs. He describes how hospitals have become the default safety net as county systems disappear, while underpayment by Medicare and Medicaid forces cost shifting onto employers and commercially insured patients. Van Gorder also highlights California's seismic rebuilding mandates, which create massive capital pressure without matching reimbursement. He critiques managed care, value-based care, and Medicare Advantage for pushing risk onto providers through prior authorization and denials, recounting Scripps' difficult decision to exit several Medicare Advantage contracts after heavy losses and the downstream impact on patients. Tune in and learn how payment design, intermediaries, and regulation shape what hospitals can sustain and what patients can access. About Chris Van Gorder: Chris Van Gorder, MPA, FACHE, is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Scripps Health in San Diego, where he has led the organization since 2000 after serving as its Chief of Healthcare Operations and COO. A veteran healthcare executive with decades of experience across California hospital systems, he previously held CEO and senior leadership roles at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center, Anaheim Memorial Medical Center, and Little Company of Mary Hospital. Beyond health system leadership, he has served on multiple boards, including Prolacta Bioscience and previously Abiomed and Z-Medica, and he has been active in national and civic service as a commissioner for the U.S. National Commission for UNESCO. He also brings an uncommon public-safety background, including reserve service with the San Diego Sheriff's Department and long-running involvement with California's Emergency Medical Services Authority, earning a Distinguished Service Medal. An educator and author, he teaches at USC and wrote The Front-Line Leader (2014). Things You'll Learn: Healthcare executives are dealing with an unprecedented volume of simultaneous operational, financial, and workforce demands, raising the stakes of everyday decisions.  Affordability isn't just a household problem; it's a system design problem that forces hospitals to cover the growing cost of unpaid care.  Cost shifting is not a theory; it is the mechanism that pushes public underpayment onto commercial premiums.  Regulatory and capital mandates can dramatically raise costs without generating new revenue, especially in California.  Medicare Advantage often adds friction through narrow networks, prior authorization, and payment disputes, while shifting risk downhill. Walking away from bad contracts can stabilize a system financially, but it creates real disruption for patients and exposes policy gaps in switching coverage.

Episode Overview What if you could invest in some of the world's most valuable private technology companies—before they ever go public? In this episode of The Silicon Valley Podcast, host Shawn Flynn sits down with Mark Klein, CEO of Neostellar  Capital, one of the few publicly traded venture capital firms providing investors with exposure to late-stage private companies. Neostellar 's portfolio includes investments in some of the most influential technology companies of the AI era, including OpenAI, Canva, Whoop, Vast Data, and it was also an early investor in CoreWeave. Mark shares how Neostellar 's "Public VC" model opens the door for public market investors to participate in venture-backed innovation—an opportunity that has traditionally been reserved for institutional investors and elite venture capital firms. The discussion dives into one of Neostellar 's most notable investments: its $17.5 million investment in OpenAI during the company's September 2024 funding round. As OpenAI's valuation has risen dramatically, Mark explains what that means for Neostellar  shareholders and how the firm evaluates opportunities in today's rapidly evolving AI investment landscape.. Beyond AI, Mark provides a behind-the-scenes look at the venture capital ecosystem, discussing secondary markets, companies remaining private longer, valuation discipline, and the unique challenges of operating a publicly traded venture capital firm while investing in private businesses. Whether you're a founder, investor, venture capitalist, or simply fascinated by the intersection of AI and capital markets, this episode provides valuable insight into how some of today's most sought-after private companies become investment opportunities. In This Episode Mark Klein's path to leading Neostellar  Capital Understanding the Public Venture Capital model Why private companies are staying private longer Investing in OpenAI before its valuation surge Lessons from being an early CoreWeave investor The future of AI infrastructure investing The growing role of secondary markets in venture investing Balancing public company transparency with private company confidentiality Where Mark sees the next wave of technology investment opportunities About Mark Klein Mark Klein is the Chief Executive Officer of Neostellar  Capital Corp.

This week on The Business of Watches, we're talking to the leader behind one of the strongest turnaround stories in the industry in recent years. Guido Terreni joined Parmigiani Fleurier as CEO in January, 2021 from Bulgari and has overseen a dramatic transformation in the design, style, and fortunes of the brand founded by master watchmaker and restoration expert Michel Parmigiani in 1996, with backing from the Sandoz Family Foundation. Under Terreni's guidance, Parmigian Fleurier has been transformed. Striving to convey the concept of "private luxury," the brand has released a series of surprising, elegant, technically innovative, and yet restrained timepieces under its Tonda PF and Toric model lines.  The brand has done nothing less than reimagine and reinterpret classic complications, including the GMT and, most recently, the Tonda PF Chronograph Mysteriéux, which stole the show, for many, at this year's Watches and Wonders.  In a wide-ranging conversation, Terreni unveils the philosophy behind the brand's discreet aesthetic and the structure behind its manufacture and organization. We discuss retail, production, and design concepts aimed at taking Parmigiani Fleurier to the next level in the hyper-competitive luxury space.   Show Notes:  1:05 The History of Parmigiani Fleurier (company website) 1:38  Global Impact of the Collapse of Lehman Brothers (Harvard Business School) 3:00 Early Parmigiani Fleurier And the Enduring Appeal Of Overbuilt Watches (Hodinkee) 8:12 That Time I Wrote That 'Swatch Group' Was A Dumb Name, And What Happened Next (Hodinkee) 16:42 Tonda PF Collection (company website) 19:02 Hands-On: Parmigiani's New Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante Is The Understatement Of The Year (Hodinkee) 23:50 Quiet Luxury (EFL) 28:10 The Rise And Fall Of The Hype Watch (Hodinkee) 31:08 Tonda PF Minute Rattranpante 31:18 Tonda Chronograph Mysteriéux (YouTube Monochrome) 41:39 Brand retailers 49:36 Toric Collection (company website)
