On this episode, I'm joined again by Luke Hodgson to talk about a shift that's quietly taking place inside every brand: the move from customer experience to operator experience.We unpack what Luke calls OX2030; his framework for how AI is reshaping the way brands actually run. The idea is simple but big. Over the next decade, the biggest transformation in retail won't happen on the front end. It will happen behind the scenes, in the systems, workflows and cross-functional teams that keep everything moving.We talk about how AI is flattening hierarchies, what it means for how brands are organised, and why most of the value in automation will come from fixing the low-value work that slows good people down. We also get into how this connects to Factory's Internal and External AI framing, where the real opportunities live, and what it means for leadership and culture inside consumer brands.If you're thinking about how AI changes the structure, not just the strategy, of how your business operates, this one's for you.Enjoy the episode.Checkout Factory here.Sign up to our newsletter here.

Satellite Tracking Reveals Increased Global Population Exposure to Floods (2000–2018). Professor Beth Tellman (Chief Science Officer and co-founder of Cloud to Street; Professor at the University of Arizona geography) discusses her peer-reviewed study, published in Nature magazine, using satellite imaging from NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites, equipped with the MODIS optical sensor, to track global flood events. This systematic mapping provides hard data of actual events, augmenting the global flood database, covering 913 observed flood events between 2000 and 2018. Her research identified an increase of up to 24% in the proportion of the population exposed to floods, indicating people are moving faster into flood plains than the general population growth rate. Limitations of the data include satellites being blocked by cloud cover and difficulty tracking sudden events like dam breaks or pluvial events. A significant concern is the underreporting bias of damaging floods in regions like sub-Saharan Africa. 1913 DAYTON

Live from Future Proof, I sat down beachside with Eden Ovadia, Co-Founder and CEO of FINNY—the AI-powered marketing platform helping advisors solve one of the biggest challenges in wealth management: organic growth.For years, the industry has relied on market returns and acquisitions to drive scale. But when the market slows, most firms discover they don't actually have a growth engine—they have a valuation problem.Eden saw that gap and built FINNY to fix it. In less than a year, she launched the company, joined Y Combinator, raised $6.5 million, and created a 15-person team that's helping advisors identify ideal prospects, automate personalized outreach, and attract new clients at scale.Eden also shares how her decision to live in her office became a powerful expression of belief in what she's building. That unwavering faith in the mission inspired her team to buy in completely—creating a culture grounded in trust, shared conviction, and the certainty that they're building something extraordinary together.3 of the biggest insights from Eden Ovadia…1.) The Industry's Organic Growth Problem Is Getting Too Big to IgnoreAdvisors have been riding market returns and acquisitions for years—but when the market dips, most firms realize their “growth” isn't really growth. Eden breaks down why the industry's obsession with M&A has masked a massive organic growth crisis—and how advisors who solve it are commanding double the valuations of their peers.2.) AI Is Revolutionizing Prospecting for AdvisorsEden's company, FINNY, gives advisors access to over 300 million data profiles and turns that data into personalized marketing automation—helping them find and convert ideal clients faster than ever before. From identifying business owners researching “exit planning” to filling dinner seminars with precision, FINNY shows what's possible when prospecting meets AI.3.) Great Leaders Build Belief Before They Build TeamsEden scaled FINNY from 0 to 15 employees in a year—but her real advantage wasn't speed, it was conviction. From living in her office to creating a culture that feels like family, she proves that people don't just join startups—they join founders who believe deeply in their vision. Her playbook for culture, hiring, and customer obsession applies to any advisor building a business that lasts.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/141FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: 30 minute 1:1 coaching call with BradAre you a financial advisor who feels stuck, needs help, or simply wants to have a conversation with Brad?

⬥GUEST⬥Andrew Morgan, Chief Information Security Officer | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewmorgancism/⬥HOST⬥Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/imsmartin/ | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com⬥EPISODE NOTES⬥The cybersecurity community has long recognized an uncomfortable truth: the gap between well-resourced enterprises and underfunded organizations keeps widening. This divide isn't just about money; it's about survivability. When a small business, school, or healthcare provider is hit with a major breach, the likelihood of permanent closure is exponentially higher than for a large enterprise.As host of the Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast, I've seen this imbalance repeatedly — and the conversation with Andrew Morgan underscores why it persists and what can be done about it.The Problem: Structural ImbalanceLarge enterprises operate with defined budgets, mature governance, and integrated security operations centers. They can afford redundancy, talent, and tooling. Meanwhile, small and mid-sized organizations are often left with fragmented controls, minimal staff, and reliance on external vendors or managed providers.The result is a “have and have not” world. The “haves” can detect, contain, and recover. The “have nots” often cannot. When they are compromised, the impact isn't just reputational — it can mean financial collapse or service disruption that directly affects communities.The Hidden Costs of ComplexityEven when smaller organizations invest in technology, they often fall into the trap of overtooling without strategy. Multiple, overlapping systems create noise, false confidence, and operational fatigue. Morgan describes this as a symptom of viewing cybersecurity as a subset of IT rather than as a business enabler.Simplification is key. A rationalized platform approach — even if not best-of-breed — can deliver better visibility and sustainability than a patchwork of disconnected tools. The goal should not be perfection; it should be proportionate protection aligned with business risk.The Solution: Culture, Collaboration, and ContinuityCyber resilience starts with people and culture. As Morgan puts it, programs must be driven by culture, informed by risk, and delivered through people, process, and technology. Security can't succeed in isolation from the organization's purpose or its people.The Australian CISO Tribe provides a real-world model for collaboration. Its members share threat intelligence, peer validation, and practical experiences — a living example of collective defense in action. Whether formalized or ad-hoc, these networks give security leaders context, community, and shared strength.Getting Back to BasicsPractical resilience isn't glamorous. It's about getting the basics right — consistent patching, logging, phishing-resistant authentication, verified backups, and tested recovery plans. It's about ensuring that, if everything fails, you can still get back up.When security becomes a business-as-usual practice rather than a project, organizations begin to move from reactive defense to proactive resilience.The TakeawayBridging the cybersecurity divide doesn't require endless budgets. It requires prioritization, simplification, and partnership. The “have nots” may never mirror enterprise scale, but they can adopt enterprise discipline — and that can make all the difference between temporary disruption and permanent failure.⬥RESOURCES⬥Inspiring Post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/andrewmorgancism_last-night-i-was-fortunate-enough-to-spend-activity-7383972144507994112-V3Zr/⬥ADDITIONAL INFORMATION⬥✨ More Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast:

In this week's episode of Retire in Texas, host Darryl Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, explores a fascinating question supported by years of research: why do studies suggest that women often achieve different investing results than men? Darryl unpacks two key reasons - overconfidence and impulsiveness - and how humility and patience can support more thoughtful, long-term decision-making. He shares personal stories, including how his own wife's encouragement shaped his career, and how engaging a spouse in financial decisions can foster stronger communication and perspective. You'll also hear how legendary investors like Warren Buffett credit their success to temperament over intellect - and why that same mindset can help individuals stay grounded in their approach to investing and relationships. Key highlights include: Why studies show women earn ~2% higher annual returns than men. How overconfidence and impulsive trading can hurt performance. The importance of engaging your spouse in financial decisions. Lessons from the Bush family, Warren Buffett, and real-life examples. Biblical insight from Genesis 2:18 on partnership and harmony.

This season on Moneda Moves, we have been expanding how we talk about capital, because it's not just about money. It's also about power and access, across sectors. In our last episode of the season, we speak with Patricia Mota – an innovative trailblazer, start-up entrepreneur, author, and more. Today, she's President and CEO of Hispanic Alliance of Career Enhancement (HACE), on a mission to boost the national workforce by cultivating the pipeline of Latine and underrepresented talent by providing the insight, access, and support to their careers. Since Patricia stepped in as CEO in 2015, the budget has quadrupled, membership has tripled to over 150,000, HACE has built over 250 corporate partnerships, and extended the organization's reach across the U.S. and 50 countries. Under her leadership, the nonprofit now offers enhanced programming for youth, senior leaders, entrepreneurs, and diverse audiences worldwide. In 2020, her leadership took a front seat to increasing activity around a newly virtual workforce, where she acted with urgency, communicated with transparency, sought diverse opinions from her team and board, and led with empathy, ultimately leading a thriving organization during such a tumultuous time. In 2021, Patricia added Co-Founder to her list of accolades, collaborating to build SHENIX™, a Fintech startup that is leading the development of a financial tool to help close the wealth gap. (Her cofounder, Olga Camargo, has also been on Moneda Moves in years prior and has been a part of our Forbes coverage.) Patricia chairs digitalundivided, helping women founders gain access to capital, and serves on the boards of the Chicago Foundation for Women, Associated Colleges of Illinois, Chicago Theological Seminary Board of Trustees, and the Northeastern Illinois Foundation Board.Patricia is a proud Mexican-American, Latina, daughter of immigrants, and first-generation college graduate. She is a fitness enthusiast and health and lifestyle aficionado. She grew up in East Chicago, Indiana, and currently resides in Chicago.In this week's season finale episode, Patricia shared what she and her team at HACE are doing to close the wealth gaps in the Latino community. While striving for higher titled positions in your career does bring in more income, it doesn't allow people to access the generational wealth that would help close the current wealth gaps. HACE works to bridge the gap in industries where there is historically limited representation with a focus on ownership.

Title:  Do Plant-Based Medicines Work? with Todd Youngblood Guest: Todd Youngblood, Co-Founder of Pneumogladius Host: Conrad Weaver, First Responder Wellness Podcast In this episode, Conrad Weaver sits down with Todd Youngblood, co-founder of Pneuma Gladius, a company dedicated to expanding access to plant-based medicines for mental health treatment. Todd shares the fascinating history and science behind natural psychedelic substances like psilocybin (magic mushrooms), ayahuasca, and mescaline — and how these naturally occurring compounds are showing tremendous promise in treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The conversation dives into the stigma and myths surrounding psychedelics, the legal landscape evolving across the U.S., and how structured, intentional use of these substances — under proper guidance — can help individuals gain new perspectives on trauma and create lasting change. Todd also explains how these treatments differ from traditional medications, why they're not meant for long-term use, and how they promote neuroplasticity and personal growth. Conrad and Todd discuss the parallels between natural wellness approaches — like exercise, breathing, and time in nature — and the growing understanding that healing doesn't always come from pharmaceuticals alone. ABOUT TODD YOUNGBLOOD Todd Youngblood is a veteran advocate and mental health innovator dedicated to helping veterans and first responders heal from trauma, PTSD, and addiction through alternative therapies.

Billboards are back–and smarter than ever. Forget pop-ups and crowded social feeds. Forward-thinking marketers are reimagining out-of-home advertising as a precision growth channel and yielding real results. Today's guest is Greg Wise, Co-Founder and Chief Customer Officer at OneScreen.ai, where he's helping modern brands move beyond the screen and back into the streets.  After starting his career at HubSpot and working in commercial real estate, Greg spotted an overlooked opportunity: integrating data-driven marketing into the world of physical advertising. Now, he's helping B2B and DTC companies rethink how and where they show up–online and off. How Founders Can Use Physical Ads to Build a Stronger Brand If you're relying on performance digital marketing alone, you're leaving brand equity on the table. Greg explains why founders at high-growth companies are turning to old-school channels—such as billboards and in-store signage—to cut through the digital noise and stay top of mind.  Why Out-of-Home Advertising is Easier Than You Think Greg shares how platforms like OneScreen are making it easier than ever to plan, buy, and measure out-of-home campaigns with real data–think billboards, bus stops, airport signage, and even wrapped cars.  You'll learn how B2B teams are using out-of-home advertising to reach niche audiences by location and profession, and track web lift just like digital marketing. Some of their campaigns are driving over 130% increases in website activity—and you'll hear exactly how. This episode is packed with practical ideas on how to blend real-world and online campaigns, as well as why investing in your brand today makes conversions easier, cheaper, and faster tomorrow. Enjoy this episode with Greg Wise… Soundbytes 39:47 - 40:07 "Doing out of home can increase web lift conversions by 134%...For B2B companies. …For DTC companies was well over 200%." 44:10 - 44:39 "The performance marketer might generally think about it as someone who's focused on the bottom of a funnel, the people that are ready to buy, the people that are ready to convert. But that's potentially 5%. It's the 95-5 rule. 95% of your target audience and your target customer base are not in the market to buy right now, and for years, we've ignored those people. The way you go after those people is through brand work." 33:49 - 34:02 "We need that physical location, to show up in the real world, in the places where our customers are, so they can see and touch and feel, try on, experience, and then we don't care if they buy it in the store or if they buy it online." Quotes "How are you communicating brand in a way that can be memorable and stand out?" "The problem is that people don't really know how to do it right if they've never done it before."

They discuss the importance of centering trans experiences, trans voices, and the needs of the trans community right now. As Elizabeth says, “What good are my needs being met, if my siblings are suffering.”Elizabeth Black (she/her) is the Co-Founder & CEO of Kaleidoscope, an LGBTQ+ mission organization in New York City. An evangelist, theologian, and minister, Elizabeth longs to see Queer people experience social and spiritual justice and liberation in their unique fullness.

My guest on today's episode, Juan Pablo Guzman, shared how his sister's health struggles inspired the family to reconnect with real food, creating snacks that nourish both people and the planet.“Our whole family went on this collective journey of reconnecting to real food,” Juan explained, adding, “We became passionate about using food as a way to heal ourselves, our communities, and our planet.” Artisan Tropic launched in 2014 with plantain and cassava chips and recently expanded to include grain-free crackers made from cassava and plantain flour.But Artisan Tropic is about more than just snacks. Juan's commitment to sustainability and regenerative agriculture sets the company apart. He described their efforts to work directly with small farmers in Colombia, implementing farming practices that prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and fair wages. “Regenerative agriculture is really just doing things the way our grandparents did them,” he said. “It's farming in a way that supports life on the farm—soil life, plant life, and biodiversity.”In 2021, Artisan Tropic piloted a regenerative farming project on a family farm, integrating crops like plantain, cacao, and coffee. Now, through a partnership with Acceso, Artisan Tropic is scaling this model, supporting over 4,000 farmers with technical training, small loans, and guaranteed crop markets. “Within two years of working with Acceso, farmers are making twice as much as they used to,” Juan noted.Artisan Tropic is currently raising capital through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on WeFunder. The funds will help the company expand its retail presence with partners like Whole Foods and Costco. “What better way to put your money to work,” Juan asked, “not just for a financial return, but also for the triple impact that your investment unlocks in our supply system?”Listening to Juan's story, it's hard not to feel inspired. Artisan Tropic is more than a brand—it's a movement toward healthier snacks, sustainable farming, and a better future.tl;dr:Artisan Tropic began as a family mission to heal through real food and better nutrition.The company uses regenerative agriculture, supporting small farmers and sustainable farming practices in Colombia.Artisan Tropic's snacks, including plantain chips and grain-free crackers, prioritize health and sustainability.Juan Guzman's family values and love drive the company's mission and commitment to future generations.Artisan Tropic is crowdfunding on WeFunder to scale operations and expand its triple-impact model.How to Develop Love for Family As a SuperpowerJuan Guzman's superpower is his deep love for family, which drives his personal and professional life. As Juan explained, “My love for my family is my superpower. I try to be present. I try to love and I try to listen.” This unwavering commitment to family has shaped Artisan Tropic's mission, inspired its founding, and continues to influence how Juan leads the company. His dedication to creating a better food system stems from a desire to leave a legacy for his children and future generations.Illustrative Story:Juan shared a touching story about how his family's bond deepened over time. While living in New Mexico, he and his sister dreamed of being closer as a family. When Juan moved to Dallas, his sister, her family, and their parents followed, creating a close-knit community where their children could grow up together. “There's nothing that makes me happier than seeing the cousins playing together,” he said. This family cohesion inspires Juan to build a company that reflects their shared values of love, health, and sustainability.Tips for Developing This Superpower:Prioritize Presence: Be fully engaged with your loved ones by putting away distractions like phones.Foster Connection: Create opportunities to spend meaningful time with family, even across distances.Lead with Love: Let your love for family guide your decisions, personally and professionally.Think Generationally: Consider how your actions today can impact future generations.By following Juan's example and advice, you can make love for family a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

According to the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University, women make up 70% of the global healthcare workforce but hold only about 25% of leadership positions. Our guest today on Raise the Line, Dr. Roopa Dhatt, has been a leading voice in the movement to correct that imbalance through co-founding an organization called Women in Global Health (WGH), which has established chapters in over 60 countries since it started a decade ago. Dr. Dhatt is also pursuing that agenda and addressing other pressing issues in healthcare as a Young Global Leader at the World Economic Forum. “We're changing the equation so women delivering health are also viewed and valued as leaders,” says the internal medicine physician and assistant professor at Georgetown University School of Medicine. Beyond leadership equity, Dr. Dhatt is also seeking to address systemic pay inequities and high levels of violence and harassment experienced by women in the health sector, issues that were highlighted in research conducted by WGH. Although WGH has seen high-level success influencing policy at the World Health Organization and United Nations, Dr. Dhatt says the heart of its success is local. “Women community health workers have begun to see themselves as leaders and the heroines of health in their communities. That's profound change.” Join host Michael Carrese for a probing conversation that identifies the structural barriers blocking advancement for women and that explains why the health of communities and the planet depend on inclusive leadership.Mentioned in this episode:Women in Global HealthWHO Report: Delivered By Women, Led By MenDr. Roopa Dhatt on LinkedIn If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

This week, we dive into the fascinating intersection of crypto, AI, and traditional public markets with Sal Ternullo, Co-Founder and CEO of SovereignAI ($OP / $SVRN). SovereignAI is setting out to acquire a substantial treasury of NEAR Protocol tokens and is bringing institutional finance rigor to the space. Sal breaks down their unique strategy, which includes: Public Listing: Bridging the gap between the NEAR token and NASDAQ investors. Active Options Management: Utilizing advanced options strategies—specifically selling puts to optimize accumulation and potentially selling calls—to generate yield and manage risk on their core NEAR holding. Counterparty Risk: How they are actively managing risk across multiple Tier 1 venues in a way that differs from standard, single-threaded asset managers. Also Covered: We recap the market action, including the significant drop in Bitcoin and Ether prices, which has driven volatility higher and skew sharply to the downside. Plus, a look at the explosive volume in IBIT options and the latest wild moves in crypto mining stocks like Mara and ETHZilla.

What if the very foundation of your marketing cloud, the one you've spent years building, is at worst actually giving your AI amnesia, and at best missing key opportunities to connect with your customers? Agility requires more than just reacting quickly; it demands an intelligent foundation that can anticipate customer needs and empower your teams to act on them with confidence and precision. Today, we're going to talk about the AI-driven reinvention of marketing. For years, marketing clouds have promised a unified view of the customer and personalized engagement, but many leaders are still struggling with fragmented systems, disconnected data, and unpredictable costs. Now, the demands of AI are exposing the foundational cracks in that legacy architecture, forcing a fundamental shift in how we think about the relationship between data, intelligence, and execution. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Kaz Ohta, CEO and Karen Wood, CMO at Treasure Data.
