People will tell you everything you need to know.  You just need to LISTEN to what they are saying. -Karen Marinella Hall Out of the blue, I got an email from a fan of the show about this week's guest…and I cannot wait for you to meet her.   Many news anchors are beautiful.  They can walk the walk and talk the talk, but there's something missing behind the smile.  That's not the case for Karen Marinella Hall.  During her tenure at WB 56 in Boston, she set herself apart from the rest with a genuine warmth and friendliness, coupled with a curiosity to get to the root of any story.  In this interview, Karen shares the details of her career trajectory, which began in radio at a small, family-owned station called WPLM in her hometown of historic Plymouth, Massachusetts.  When she applied for acceptance to Katherine Gibbs secretarial school, it was a high school teacher who recognized her talents as a communicator, urging Karen to fill out an application to Emerson College.  As the first person in her family to attend college, Karen understood that her parents could not pay for such a prestigious college, making the decision to attend Emerson step one in a career marked by determination, curiosity, and resiliency.   The wife of Boston news legend Jonathan Hall, Karen, is the proud mother of three sons and grew up in a close-knit Italian/Portuguese neighborhood where family, food, and hard work went hand-in-hand.   When her station, WB56 was sold, she took a bold chance and set out on her own, founding Marinella Hall Associates, www.marinellahall.com, where she shares her well-honed communications skills with C-suite executives.   Reflecting on the lessons of her career, Karen says: “I wish I wasn't so insecure in my 20s and 30s.  I don't think I grew out of that until I was in my 40s. God, I would have had so much more fun!”  For 24 minutes of expert storytelling, inspiration, and new chapters, just hit that download button. #corporatecommunications  #news #television Former news anchor & Principal, Marinella Hall Associates marinellahall.com

Anthony Jackson is the Principal at St. Robert Catholic School

My guest today is Joe Liemandt. Joe is the Principal at Alpha School and the founder of Triliogy Software and ESW Capital. He became the youngest member of the Forbes 400 in the 1990s before vanishing from public view for two decades—only to emerge with a $1 billion bet that he can make kids learn 10x faster using AI. Joe has built an AI tutoring system so effective that students at his Alpha School literally beg not to take summer breaks, achieving 2x learning outcomes in just 2 hours with standardized test results that compete with the best of them. We dive deep into why this could be the most valuable product he's ever built, his contrarian thesis that traditional SaaS is facing AI-driven obsolescence, and how his experience buying 100+ software companies prepared him for this moonshot in a trillion-dollar market that hasn't innovated in 200 years.  For investors, this is a masterclass in deploying patient capital to rebuild broken systems from first principles, with insights on everything from regulatory moats to the intersection of AI and human psychology. As your excited skeptic, I push hard on the technology readiness, parental adoption hurdles, and whether this audacious vision can actually scale to a billion kids. Additionally, in a Colossus Profile released last week, our editor-in-chief Jeremy Stern reported, for the first time, Joe as the product guy behind Alpha School in a can't miss piece of writing. And now please enjoy my conversation with Joe Liemandt.  Joe Liemandt's Colossus Profile by Jeremy Stern.

One of the most resilient asset classes in commercial real estate is Mobile Home Parks. Almost no new parks have been built in the last couple decades, and many parks are being repurposed for higher and better use.

Patrick McDonald, Principal of Community Management Group, owns and operates 26 parks, mostly in the Northwest. He is fully vertically integrated and has occupancy of 98% across his parks. Given the scarcity of these parks, Patrick is a long-term holder and targets a return of capital via refinance within five to six years.

From Principal to Practice (Dave Sloop) by Church of the Holy Spirit - Roanoke

How many times has somebody's “BUT” gotten in the way of God's love? "God loves us BUT”…He is also Just. But we can't affirm that behavior. But we can't just accept that sinner. What if...God's love is "BUT"-less? Kelly talks with author/teacher Bradley Jersak about a love that is not the opposite of mercy, a love that is not retributive, a love that frees rather than enforces. We discuss how projecting conditions onto God's love affects our theology and culture, including the belief that God will desert most of us in the Rapture, the view that if our kind of Christians were in control our nation would do God's will, and the heresy that empathy and embodying the values of the Sermon on the Mount here on earth are ungodly. When we are asked to love our neighbor and share the Good News, is there a more effective way to do it? Yes, we think there is. Bradley Jersak is an author and teacher based in Abbotsford, BC, Canada. He the author of several books, including A More Christlike God and Out of the Embers: Faith After the Great Deconstruction. Bradley also serves as the Principal and as a professor of St. Stephen's University (SSU.ca) in New Brunswick, Canada. Bradley's focus is on sharing the good news that God is Love, perfectly revealed in Jesus' all-embracing gospel.

The conversation ranges from the challenges of managing devices in classrooms, to what employment might look like in a post-AI economy, to whether robots might one day replace teachers.

This is very special episode of the podcast — one that's quite personal and rooted in a story that spans generations. Earlier this summer, I had the privilege of visiting Anghel Saligny Technical High School (Liceului Tehnologic Anghel Saligny) in Baia Mare, Romania — a school that holds profound meaning for my family. I was there to take part in my mother's 50th high school reunion, a beautiful moment of reflection and reconnection. But my family's connection to this school goes far beyond that. My grandfather — a respected senior leader in the field of engineering — was among the group of leading engineers who shared a vision of creating a school that developed the future talent in civil building engineering. They created a school where young people could be trained for real careers in engineering, technology, and construction — a vision that continues to shape the school today. My godparents, also respected senior leaders in engineering, taught for many years at the school, bringing their professional experience and expertise to students. Now, that legacy lives on through my godparents' daughter, Daniela Maria Deceanu, also an engineer who now serves as the Vice Principal of the school. My own passion for education has been deeply shaped by both of my grandfathers. One, an engineer with a forward-thinking mindset, believed strongly in preparing students for the workforce of the future. The other, a devoted language teacher, passed on a love for words, learning, and communication. My parents carried on their passion for learning by teaching me how to learn and instilling in me the importance of lifelong learning. Their values continue to guide me in my work and in conversations that I have on this podcast. In this episode, I sit down with Tudor Andrei Tămâian, the Principal of Anghel Saligny Technical High School, to talk about what it means to lead a vocational school in today's world. Tudor shares how the school partners with local industry, facilitates European work exchange programs, and helps students gain practical, hands-on experience. We also talk about the school's impressive track record at skills olympics and professional competitions, where students consistently prove the power of applied education. This conversation is about leadership, vision, and the future of vocational learning. Tudor Andrei Tămâian is the Principal of Anghel Saligny Technical High School (Liceul Tehnologic Anghel Saligny) in Baia Mare, Romania. He is a highly dedicated professional with a strong academic background in Economics (B.A.), Business Administration, and Human Rights (M.A.). With over 15 years of experience as an educator and four years as a high school principal, Tudor also brings valuable insights from previous roles in sales and financial services, particularly in credit and banking. As a school leader, he promotes a collaborative and open management style that values communication, teamwork, and a positive work environment. His decisions are always student-centred, aiming to improve both the learning experience and student outcomes. Passionate about sharing knowledge and values with younger generations, Tudor is committed to being part of a mission-driven team focused on reducing school dropout rates and increasing the number of students who successfully complete their high school education. He strongly believes in education as a powerful tool for building better futures. Anghel Saligny Technical High School (Liceul Tehnologic Anghel Saligny) https://www.asalignybm.tpsvision.ro

In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed:  CDs and MYGAs I-bond no-brainer The safest product in principal protection  How safe are MYGAs?    Key Takeaways:  Here's how CDs (Certificate of Deposit) work: you give the bank money, they protect the principal, and you don't have to pay any fees. You can take the interest if you want to at the end of the term, and do what you want with your money. MYGAs are basically the annuity industry's version of a CD.  Treasury bonds are a no-brainer. Go to treasurydirect.gov to buy them for yourself. The only downside of treasury bonds is that there's a limitation on how much money you can put in them.  Of these three safe principal protection options, treasury bonds are the safest because the government can tax or confiscate money in order to pay them, and they will. The second safest one is CDs, since they are government-based as well.  MYGAs are safe products to invest in, and their safety is based on the annuity company's ability to pay. They are commodity products, and the money you'll get from them can be used to buy another MYGA from another company. However, you can't put all your money on annuities; you've got to spread it around.    "This trifecta is a contractual guarantee:  CDs, Treasuries, Multi-Year Guarantee Annuities. You're owning these because of what they will do, not what they might do. You're buying the yield. The yield is contractual." —  Stan The Annuity Man    Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http://theannuityman.com/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  Book: Owner's Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator!   

Released in 2007 and inspired by true events, The Great Debaters tells the story of Wiley College's debate team in the 1930s, led by Professor Melvin B. Tolson. At a time when segregation and systemic injustice were defining forces, this small but determined team rose to national prominence, even going head-to-head with Harvard University. More than a story about competition, the film highlights the role education plays in empowerment, resilience, and giving students the courage to use their voice. We dive into the plot and memorable moments, then run through a series of award-style categories that let us talk about teachers, iconic scenes, and even one-liners. And of course, we wrap up with the big question: what real-world lessons can educators, leaders, and communities take from the movie?   Takeaways: Professor Tolson shows how a teacher or mentor can push students beyond their perceived limits, instill belief, and prepare them for opportunities they may never have imagined possible. Winning debates required the team to challenge, support, and trust each other. Education at its best fosters collaboration, preparing students for the challenges of the real world.     About Jeff Johnson: Jeff Johnson brings over 30 years of experience in Pre-K–12 and Higher Education design, serving as a trusted voice in shaping impactful learning environments.

This week on The Vergecast, the co-founder and former CEO of iRobot, Colin Angle, joins The Verge's smart home reviewer, Jennifer Pattison Tuohy, to discuss what the ideal home robot is. Are we close to creating a Rosie the Robot — an all-in-one humanoid robot that can take care of our homes, or should we take an entirely different approach to home robotics? They dive into the advances in technology powering this shift and ponder what purpose robotics in the home should really serve. Then, Jen takes a journey back into smart home history to help us understand its future. Grant Erickson, Principal of Nuovations, a former Apple, Nest, and Google engineer who was part of the team that developed Thread, joins the show. He shares the story of how and why, back in 2011, the Nest team, led by Tony Faddell and Matt Rogers, decided to create a smart home protocol. It involves a thermostat, fragmented ecosystems, and one of the best smart home products ever made. They discuss how Thread became the foundation of the Matter smart home standard — an unprecedented industry collaboration with a herculean task — to make the smart home simpler. To close out the show, Grant sticks around to help answer a Vergecast hotline question (call 866-VERGE11 or email vergecast@theverge.com) about how Matter manages your data.
