Send us Fan MailThe science is clear: A one-size-fits-all approach to education or mental health does not work. But what about physical health? I am hearing more and more parents complain about the healthcare their children receive. At the same time, I am being overwhelmed with ads for potions, diets and supplements that promise to cure everything instantly. This is why I was eager to speak with Marcus Fernandez. Marcus has spent three decades advocating for preventative, homeostatic approaches to physical health. He is the Principal of The Centre for Homeopathic Education and the author of several works, including Homeopathy at Home: Everyday Treatments for Common Complaints. I asked Marcus to define what homeopathic medicine is, when and for whom it is appropriate, and how to distinguish between, what he refers to as, “evidence-based” approaches and the exploitive, false promises that crowd our inboxes and social network feeds. More information about Marcus, including links to the The Centre for Homeopathic Education and his book, is talkingaboutkids.com.

In this episode, host Jethro interviews Robert Dillon, author and director of Bright Bytes, about the transformative power of learning spaces. Robert argues that reimagining physical classroom environments is one of the few true "big levers" of disruption in education — alongside grades and schedules. The conversation covers practical, low-cost strategies for redesigning spaces, including removing clutter, adding writable surfaces, varying seating arrangements, and leveraging hallways. Robert emphasizes designing with students rather than for them, using a phased purchasing approach (30/40/30), and embracing iteration over perfection. The episode also touches on the cultural shifts that come when spaces signal something different — making learning feel like a place where process matters more than product, and where hard work can actually be fun.

A few weeks ago, I was asked to give the commencement speech for the Kilgore ISD Pathways graduating class of 2026.The Pathways program serves students whose journey through school looked different than the traditional path. Some faced difficult family situations, setbacks, instability, behavioral struggles, or simply needed a different environment to succeed.After speaking with Lauren Thrasher, the Principal for Pathways Academy, the virtue of Hope felt important to highlight. Power Acronym 3: G.A.P. immediately came to mind. Life is a game of closing the gap between who you are and who you're capable of becoming.GAP — Goals. Agency. Pathways.This is the bridge that gets from here to there. Goals give you direction.Agency reminds you that you control what you do next.Pathways remind you that there is rarely just one road forward in life.This speech became less about having life figured out and more about learning how to keep moving forward when plans change.I'm grateful for the opportunity, the experience, and the lessons that came from preparing and delivering it.“You can get there from here.”— AaronPower Acronym | The Language of Leadership This is a public episode.

Today's episode of the Consumer Finance Monitor Podcast features a wide-ranging and timely discussion about one of the most consequential fair lending developments in years: the CFPB's final rule fundamentally reshaping enforcement under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) and Regulation B. Hosted by Alan Kaplinsky (the Founder, Chair for 25 years and now Senior Counsel of the Consumer Financial Services Group at Ballard Spahr, LLP), the episode brings together an exceptional panel of fair lending authorities: our special guest Bradley Blower (the Principal and Founder of Inclusive-Partners LLC) along with John Culhane, Jr., and Richard Andreano, Jr., Senior Counsel in the Consumer Financial Services Group at Ballard Spahr LLP. The discussion revisits a proposal first examined on the podcast last year when the CFPB under Acting Director Russell Vought proposed sweeping revisions to ECOA enforcement principles (you can find more on that episode here). Now, the Bureau has finalized the rule largely as proposed, marking a dramatic shift in federal fair lending policy. The CFPB's Three Major Changes As discussed during the podcast, the final rule makes three major changes from the former Regulation B: · Eliminates the use of disparate impact analysis under ECOA and Regulation B. · Narrows discouragement liability by focusing primarily on spoken, written, or visual statements rather than broader conduct. · Revises the framework governing Special Purpose Credit Programs (SPCPs), particularly for for-profit lenders. The Bureau's stated rationale is that ECOA does not authorize disparate impact liability and that fair lending enforcement should focus on intentional discrimination rather than statistical disparities alone. Supporters of the rule argue that the changes provide lenders with clearer standards, reduce regulatory uncertainty, and create a more predictable environment for innovation, including AI-driven underwriting and algorithmic decision-making. Critics, however, contend that the rule ignores the historical role disparate impact analysis has played in uncovering systemic discrimination and could make it substantially more difficult to identify discriminatory outcomes embedded in facially neutral policies or automated systems. Disparate Impact: A Sea Change, But Not the End of Fair Lending The panel devoted significant attention to the CFPB's elimination of disparate impact liability under ECOA. John Culhane described the move as a "dramatic shift" for non-mortgage lending, noting that disparate impact theories historically drove many federal fair lending actions involving indirect auto finance, student lending, and other consumer credit products. At the same time, Rich Andreano emphasized that the mortgage industry remains subject to disparate impact claims under the federal Fair Housing Act because of the Supreme Court's decision in Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project. As a result, mortgage lenders still face substantial fair lending exposure notwithstanding the CFPB's new ECOA position. The panelists also stressed that disparate impact is far from dead at the state level. Several states, including Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York, are expected to continue aggressive fair lending enforcement using disparate impact theories under state statutes, regulations, and consumer protection laws. Indeed, the panel highlighted the growing role of state attorneys general and state regulators as federal enforcement narrows. Discouragement Liability and the "Townstone Effect" Another focal point of the discussion was the CFPB's narrowing of discouragement liability. The panel explored how the Bureau's revisions appear heavily influenced by the CFPB's controversial enforcement action against Townstone Financial, where the Bureau alleged that comments made during radio broadcasts and podcasts discouraged minority borrowers from applying for loans. Rich Andreano characterized the final rule's discouragement provisions as effectively "the Townstone rule," reflecting the current CFPB leadership's strong opposition to the prior Bureau's enforcement theory in that case. Nevertheless, both Brad Blower and John Culhane cautioned that courts and state regulators may continue to consider broader conduct, including branch placement, marketing strategies, and community engagement, when evaluating potential redlining or discouragement claims. SPCPs Face New Uncertainty The podcast also examined the CFPB's revisions to Special Purpose Credit Programs. Brad Blower explained that while SPCPs remain permissible, the new rule substantially complicates the use of race-conscious programs by for-profit lenders. Many institutions may now seek to redesign programs around race-neutral criteria such as first-generation homeownership, low- and moderate-income geographies, or majority-minority census tracts. Rich Andreano warned that many financial institutions, especially banks, may scale back SPCPs due to litigation and regulatory uncertainty, particularly given the broader political and legal environment surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The Practical Message: "Stay the Course" Despite the significance of the CFPB's rule changes, the clearest takeaway from the discussion was remarkably consistent: lenders should not dismantle their fair lending compliance programs. All three panelists emphasized that institutions should continue: · Monitoring for disparate impact. · Reviewing underwriting and pricing models. · Evaluating marketing and branch strategies. · Testing AI and algorithmic systems for bias. · Maintaining robust fair lending compliance management systems. As Brad Blower observed, institutions that "take their foot off the gas" risk state enforcement actions, private litigation, reputational harm, and future regulatory scrutiny under a different federal administration. Rich Andreano summarized the prevailing industry guidance succinctly: "Stay the course." AI, Algorithmic Underwriting, and Future Litigation The panel also explored how the rule intersects with AI-driven lending. Although federal ECOA disparate impact enforcement may narrow, the panelists noted that state laws and private litigation could continue targeting algorithmic discrimination. Several states already are pursuing or considering laws specifically addressing AI bias and automated decision-making. The panel further predicted that legal challenges to the CFPB's final rule are highly likely. Potential claims could include: · Administrative Procedure Act challenges. · Arguments that the CFPB disregarded congressional intent underlying ECOA. · Challenges arising under the Supreme Court's decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, which eliminated Chevron deference to agency rules. The panel suggested that litigation over the final rule could ultimately reach the Supreme Court, particularly on the unresolved question of whether ECOA itself authorizes disparate impact liability. Conclusion This episode provides an exceptionally practical and nuanced examination of one of the most important fair lending developments in recent memory. While the CFPB has dramatically narrowed federal ECOA enforcement theories, the broader fair lending landscape remains highly active due to state enforcement, private litigation risk, the Fair Housing Act, and ongoing scrutiny of AI-based underwriting systems. For lenders, the message from the panel was unmistakable: despite the CFPB's final rule, fair lending compliance remains as important as ever.

Welcome back to the Tyndale House podcast series on Genesis 1–9. In episode 1, we opened the series by exploring the full depth of Genesis 1:1 in which God created the heavens and the earth, and how it stands apart from ancient Near Eastern creation myths. In this second episode, we move deeper into the creation story as the silence of the primordial world is broken by a divine command: 'Let there be Light.' Episode 2 examines what it means for God to create by speaking, why Genesis presents light as appearing rather than being explicitly ‘created', and how this moment shapes the chapter. Along the way, we continue comparing the biblical creation account with Mesopotamian creation myths, exploring how Genesis has a distinctive view of divine power, cosmic order, and the notion of ‘image'. In a world where only kings were considered images of gods, Genesis claims that all humans bear God's image is nothing short of remarkable.Perfect for listeners searching for:Genesis commentary Bible study podcastsCreation story vs ancient myths Old Testament background Hebrew word studies Hosted by Dr Peter Williams, Principal of Tyndale House, Cambridge, with Dr J Caleb Howard and Dr James Bejon who are both in the Old Testament research team at Tyndale House.

You've given the feedback. Done the modeling. Sent them to PD. And some of your teachers are still making the same mistakes they were making in September. Before you write that final evaluation, I want you to consider something: are you judging their decisions — or are you examining their choices? There's a difference. And it changes everything about how you develop teachers. What you'll learn: In this episode of The 100% Principal, I'm sharing Issue #005 of the newsletter — and it starts with something Michael Beasley said in an interview that made me put down my crochet hook mid-stitch. One sentence that named something I've been trying to articulate for years about the way we treat the people we lead. We'll talk about: Why the reflective questions we were trained to ask in post-observation conferences are failing your teachers The difference between a will problem and a skill problem (and why it still comes down to choices) A simple four-level framework for matching your support to where your teachers actually are What it costs you when you don't make this shift This is one of those episodes that's going to make you rethink something you've been doing all year.

In this episode of Data in Biotech, host Ross Katz sits down with Sadegh Salehi, Director of Research and Principal Scientist at Overjet, to explore what rigorous model evaluation actually looks like when the stakes are clinical. Overjet builds FDA-cleared vision models that detect and quantify dental disease across billions of X-ray images from thousands of practices - a data problem with a staggering number of dimensions. Thirty-two teeth per adult patient, each with different morphology. Multiple image types capturing different anatomy. Fifteen to twenty sensor manufacturers producing perceptually distinct images, each with different contrast, resolution, and noise characteristics. And disease severity distributions ranging from barely visible early-stage decay to obvious pathology. Sadegh walks through what it takes to evaluate models responsibly across all of those dimensions and discusses why aggregate metrics like F1 score can mask catastrophic failures on specific subgroups, how models find and exploit shortcuts in training data, and why the same flawed sampling that creates gaps in your training set also creates them in your test set. He also traces Overjet's architectural evolution from over twenty narrow task-specific models to a single foundation model they call Unity, explains how treatment plan procedure codes provide a noisy but real production feedback signal, and describes how Overjet became one of the first companies to secure the FDA's Predetermined Change Control Plan (a framework that allows model updates without filing a new clearance each time.) What you'll learn in this episode: >> Why aggregate evaluation metrics are insufficient for high-stakes medical AI >> How models exploit shortcuts in training data: if all images from a rare sensor in the training set happen to be healthy, the model doesn't learn to read that sensor, it learns that the sensor means healthy, bypassing the visual task entirely and producing systematic false negatives in production >> How Overjet evolved from over twenty narrow, sensor-specific and indication-specific models into a single foundation model called Unity, using noisy labels generated by the small models as the training signal for a much larger backbone, then building independent prediction heads for each clinical indication on top of it >> Why the decision to keep prediction heads architecturally independent from one another was driven as much by FDA regulatory strategy as by modeling considerations >> How Overjet uses dental treatment plan procedure codes as a production monitoring signal Meet our guest: Sadegh Salehi is Director of Research and Principal Scientist at Overjet, where he leads the team responsible for building, evaluating, and deploying FDA-cleared vision models for dental disease detection and quantification.

Six Major Auditing Strategies: Tracing, Process, Department, Element, Process-Based Management, and DiscoveryCourse Link: https://cqeacademy.teachable.com/p/the-cqa-master-class-courseIn this episode, Subhi explains why selecting the right auditing strategy matters when auditors have limited time, limited access, and a specific audit objective. He walks through six major strategies: tracing, process approach, process-based management, department method, element method, and discovery method.The episode covers how each strategy works, where it is useful, and where it can fall short. Subhi also explains why real audits rarely rely on only one method. Strong auditors know how to combine strategies based on the audit objective, the evidence being reviewed, and what the audit trail reveals.Timestamps00:00 Six Audit Strategies Overview00:22 Why Strategy Matters01:13 Course Context and Setup02:28 Tracing Method Explained03:26 Process Approach Walkthrough04:21 Department Method Deep Dive05:26 Element Method Against Standards06:12 Discovery Method String Pull06:36 Pros, Cons, and Final Summary09:53 Wrap Up and Next SessionSubhi Saadeh is the Founder and Principal at Let's Combinate, where he helps teams develop and control drug-device combination products by aligning quality systems, development, and regulatory expectations across drug and device domains.

Amid enormous market and professional change, there is enormous potential for leaders in law firms to empower and elevate their teams, rather than be bogged down in adapting to a shifting landscape. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Katie Minogue, a former principal at Maurice Blackburn turned leadership coach, about her journey as a personal injury lawyer, how and why she pivoted to being a facilitator and leadership coach, the demand for better leadership in the current climate, and what's standing in the way of firm heads being better leaders right now. Minogue also delves into what constitutes good leadership in the current climate, whether it's more difficult than ever to be a good law firm leader, the questions that firm leaders must be asking of themselves ahead of the new financial year, whether leaders are actively prioritising such matters at this point, and how optimistic she is about the future quality of leadership in law firms.

In this episode of The Principal's Handbook, we explore the idea of The Elementary Edge — the difference between reactive leadership and intentional leadership in elementary schools. Elementary principals face unique emotional demands, constant decision-making, and the pressure of leading through overwhelm while still supporting staff, students, and families. This episode breaks down four practical shifts that help leaders stay grounded, focused, and proactive instead of constantly reacting to the loudest problem in the building. If you want to finish the school year strong and step into next year with more clarity and confidence, this episode will help you start making that shift now.Join The Elementary Edge Group Coaching Program Learn more about today's sponsors, Renaissance, Playworks and IXL:Learn more about Renaissance: As a global leader in education technology operating in more than 110 countries, Renaissance is committed to providing educators with insights and resources to accelerate growth and help all students build a strong foundation for success.

See what the team at The Successful Bookkeeper has on right now → Natalia Zacharin had no bookkeeping background, no clients, and no safety net when she started Zacharin Consulting in January 2019. She was 49, a single mom, and her invoicing clerk job was being phased out. In part one of this two-part conversation, Natalia lays out exactly how she went from that starting point to building a firm that now employs 16 people, targets $4 million in revenue, and landed at number 802 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list. Chapters [00:00] Cold open: asking the right questions [00:52] Introducing Natalia Zacharin [03:00] From invoicing clerk to business owner [07:00] Where the firm stands today [10:00] First client via LinkedIn [13:00] Self-teaching bookkeeping on YouTube [16:30] Hiring a CPA manager — lessons learned [19:00] Building the pipeline: 4 clients to 12 [23:00] Doubling down and working 7 days a week [26:00] COVID, the PPP pivot, and early burnout Starting From Zero — And Meaning It Natalia's entry into bookkeeping wasn't a career pivot she planned. Her fiancé suggested it over coffee when she couldn't find another job. She enrolled in an online course, started messaging business owners on LinkedIn in January 2019, and landed her first client on January 29th of that year — a landscaping company owner in California who is still a client today. Her prior experience as an invoicing clerk in Microsoft Dynamics and NetSuite gave her attention to detail, but she had never opened QuickBooks. YouTube as a Training Program When Natalia got into her first client's books, she found the revenue hadn't been recorded — showing a negative $2 million on the P&L. Rather than walking away, she cleaned it up herself using YouTube, watching videos second by second and refreshing the balance sheet after every change to see what happened. "That was how I learned," she says. "I taught myself how to read financials, not how to do just data entry." It was slow, it was self-directed, and it worked. The Formula for Getting Clients Early On Natalia built her first pipeline through two channels: LinkedIn outreach and a local women's business group. Her LinkedIn approach was simple — start genuine conversations, never lead with a pitch, and ask questions. "No one likes it when you just come out with a full three paragraphs of what you do. No one cares." At in-person events, she set a clear intention before walking in: she was there to get a client, not just to have lunch. By August 2019 she had 4 clients and quit her day job. By November she had 12 — enough to cover her bills. Doubling Down on What Works After quitting her job, Natalia worked 12 to 14 hours a day, seven days a week, iterating constantly on what was generating new business. Her core principle: if something moves the needle, do more of it faster. She avoided prescriptive networking formats like BNI in favour of methods she could control and test. "Selling is psychological, it's not intuitive," she says. "I just didn't give up. I didn't feel like I had other options, so I just kept going." COVID, the PPP, and a Hard Lesson About Burnout In January 2020, Natalia called her mother — who had been helping her financially — to say she no longer needed the support. Three months later, COVID hit and her clients' revenues collapsed. She pivoted immediately to helping clients apply for PPP and EIDL loans, achieving near-perfect approval and forgiveness rates. But by August 2020, working alone under enormous pressure, she stopped exercising and started running out of energy. Part two of this series picks up there — with hard-won lessons on burnout, pricing, and scaling a team.

She started the firm in 2019 with no formal bookkeeping training and grew it to a 16-person team tracking over $3 million in annual revenue. In 2025, Zacharin Consulting was named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies in the United States, ranking number 802. About the hostMichael PalmerMichael Palmer is the host of The Successful Bookkeeper podcast and co-founder of Pure Bookkeeping and The Successful Bookkeeper. He started this work because of his father — a brilliant electrical contractor who worked twice as hard as he should have had to, because nobody on the financial side was in his corner. That gap is what The Successful Bookkeeper exists to close. His view: bookkeepers are the most undervalued force in small business — and every bookkeeper who builds a real business changes two families: theirs, and their clients'.

Outline and Show NotesWhat Does Burnout Mean? With Dr. Julie HassonPower Quote: “The wrong kind of hard.”Teaser:Dr. Julie Hasson and I has so much fun recording our conversation – we just kept on talking, so instead of giving you a giant dump of stuff, we decided to break it into two distinct episodes. In part 1, we go deep into burnout, toxic positivity, and self-care. In next week's show we'll dig into Julie's Recharge model. This is an episode rich in takeaways – not “rah rah” self-care - real things based on the challenges we are all dealing with.Sponsor Spot 1:I talk to a lot of Assistant Principals, and one thing that comes up all the time is the question - how do we create experiences students will remember forever?

Most investors think price equals value. They look at comps. They trust broker packages. They assume appreciation will fix everything. That's where they get into trouble. In this episode, I sit down with Ryan Cadwell, Principal of Resolute RDM, an Indianapolis-based firm involved in over $100M in transactions, development, and asset management. Ryan has flipped nearly 150 homes and is currently developing more than 240 duplex units. He breaks down what he calls the "$100M mistake" — confusing market price with investment value — and why overly optimistic underwriting is putting investors in difficult positions. In This Episode, You'll Learn: The difference between market value and investment value Why buying strictly on pro forma is dangerous How brokers use optimistic assumptions to justify pricing The underwriting mistakes investors made during low interest rate years Why today's market is a capital game How flat rent growth is exposing weak assumptions The long-term math behind 3% rent growth When time can fix a mistake — and when it cannot Why "$100 under market rent" is often misleading How to evaluate rent growth assumptions realistically The role of opportunity cost in deal evaluation Why disciplined underwriting matters more than ever Market Value vs. Investment Value Market value is what the seller wants and what brokers are marketing. Investment value is what the property is worth to you based on: Your opportunity cost Your tax situation Your capital stack Your required return Your hold timeline If those do not align, the deal does not work. The Pro Forma Problem Many investors: Underwrite 3% rent growth Underwrite 2% expense growth Assume stable refinance rates Assume quick lease-up When even one of those assumptions fails, the entire deal breaks. In flat rent markets, optimism gets expensive fast. When Time Is the Only Fix If you overpay, time may be your only exit. Longer holds can allow: Wage growth to catch up Rents to normalize Market cycles to reset But only if you have enough capital to survive the wait. AI in Underwriting Ryan also shares how he uses AI tools like Claude and Gemini to build custom deal analyzers that: Rank opportunities Evaluate opportunity cost Compare lending structures Stress-test assumptions The key is not just using AI. It is learning how to prompt it and integrate it into your workflow.

Transition year has been the center of many education debates over the years. Parents of teenagers across the country worry about the costs, experiences, and dossing associated with TY.

In this episode of the Transformative Leadership Summit, Jethro sits down with Kyle Palmer, principal of Lewis and Clark Elementary, to explore how school leaders can develop teacher leaders and build a culture of trust and innovation. Kyle shares the story of how his school evolved from a single maker space initiative—sparked by library teacher Angela Rosheim's genius hour instruction—into a school-wide culture of student-centered learning, STEM integration through Project Lead The Way (PLTW), and maker spaces throughout the building. Central to the conversation is Kyle's philosophy of tight/loose leadership: being firm on learning outcomes and collaborative team expectations while giving teachers genuine autonomy in how they get there. He discusses the power of highly functioning PLCs, the importance of developing leaders (not just followers—a concept drawn from John Maxwell), and why trust, listening, and consistent feedback are the keys to empowering staff. Kyle leaves principals with a simple but powerful action step: go ask your best teachers what they think.
