[This episode originally aired on December 7, 2023] Today on the show, I have a lively conversation with Ashby Monk, the executive director of the Stanford Research Initiative on Long Term Investing. Ashby studies the inner workings of pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments and foundations —  in short all of those LPs that sit somewhere in between the public and private sectors.“That means that they are optimizing for things that are not entirely evident to just the casual observer,” Ashby says.In this episode of Dry Powder, I ask Ashby to take us inside the $140 trillion universe of long-term investing and help us understand what exactly these organizations are optimizing for.If you'd like to stay up to date with my weekly series on LinkedIn, follow me here.

HIRING MANAGER SELF SERVE - THE PAST AND FUTURE OF RECRUITMENT?   It was also the Past of Recruitment - where hiring managers were doing most of the work in hiring for their teams, everything from putting up adverts in shop windows, handling the first enquiries, reviewing CV's, screening candidates, scheduling interviews, interviewing candidates and then offering / hiring said candidates. Perhaps Personnel got involved in the contracts of employment, but 'recruitment' was once handled entirely by the line.   Could it be that this model returns, as AI improves to such an extent that a centralised TA function may not be the most optimal model?   Lets explore how some companies have shifted from centralised TA to empowering hiring managers to do more of the hiring work   - What conditions best suit centralised vs decentralised TA teams? - Pro's / Cons of decentralised vs centralised - What degree of hiring maturity is required for hiring manager self serve? - Retail franchises are the obvious business type for this model: which others? - How to avoid hiring managers bad practice in hiring? - Bias mitigation - realistic in HM? - How to ensure QoH in decentralised model? - What tools are best suited for this model - How does AI support hiring manager self serve? - What role does a recruiter continue to play in such a set up? - How can a business improve its hiring capability if we go hiring manager self serve? - What are the top things to remember if you are planning to making this shift?   We're with Martin Warren, TA Leader (ex-Grab), Lyndsey Taylor, Head of HR Transformation (Brooks Automation) & friends   We are on Friday 16th May, 2pm BST   Register by clicking the green button and follow the channel here (recommended)         Ep300 is sponsored by our friends at Ashby   Ashby is what an ATS should be: an integration of sourcing automation, AI-supported outreach sequencing, native interview scheduling, a searchable CRM, and advanced analytics – all in one ATS++ system.

Reel Britannia - a very British podcast about very British movies...with just a hint of professionalism This week...more from the great Hammer studios as they craft a chilling tale of deceit and madness. A presumed-dead heir resurfaces, unraveling sinister family secrets. Gothic suspense intertwines with psychological twists, as greed, guilt, and identity collide in a haunting inheritance drama. Starring Oliver Reed and Janette Scott.   Paranoiac (1963) Where secrets fester and madness reigns—welcome to the Ashby estate, where paranoia is just the beginning Paranoiac (1963), directed by Freddie Francis and produced by Hammer Films, is a gripping psychological thriller that delves into themes of identity, deception, and madness. Loosely based on Josephine Tey's novel Brat Farrar, the film is set against the backdrop of a wealthy but dysfunctional British family, the Ashbys, whose lives are marred by tragedy and secrets. The story begins with the Ashby siblings, Simon and Eleanor, living under the care of their strict Aunt Harriet after the death of their parents in a plane crash. Simon, a cruel and manipulative alcoholic, is weeks away from inheriting the family fortune. Eleanor, fragile and haunted by the past, struggles with her mental health, particularly after the apparent suicide of their elder brother, Tony, years earlier. The plot takes a dramatic turn when a man claiming to be Tony reappears, throwing the family into turmoil. While Eleanor is overjoyed and convinced of his identity, Simon and Aunt Harriet are skeptical, suspecting him to be an impostor. As tensions rise, the film unravels a web of deceit, revealing that "Tony" is indeed a conman hired by the family solicitor's son to cover up financial embezzlement. The narrative is further complicated by Simon's descent into madness, driven by guilt and greed. The eerie atmosphere is heightened by haunting organ music and a masked figure, adding layers of gothic suspense. The climax reveals shocking truths about the family's dark past, including Simon's role in Tony's death and Aunt Harriet's attempts to maintain a facade of normalcy. Oliver Reed delivers a standout performance as the volatile Simon, capturing the character's menace and vulnerability. The film's cinematography, with its shadowy visuals and dramatic angles, enhances the sense of unease, while Elisabeth Lutyens' haunting score underscores the psychological tension. Paranoiac is a masterful blend of gothic horror and psychological drama, showcasing Hammer Films' ability to craft compelling narratives that linger in the mind long after the credits roll.

IDEAL STRUCTURE OF AI-ENABLED TA   You might have noticed a run of AI Agent demo's on Brainfood Live recently - product makers are increasingly confident that they are going to produce intelligent software which will increasingly behave more like a colleague than a tool. What does this mean for the humans in the recruitment function?   Transformation is closer than we think and we need to get busy thinking about a future where AI indeed transforms our function, how that function needs to be structured for maximum efficacy and perhaps most importantly, how we ensure the efficiency gains provided by AI, convert to experience gains secured for humans.   We will discuss:   - State of AI in TA today - Current structure of TA teams - what are the options? - Will AI simplify TA structure - Y/N? - What functions will human TA retain, which will be automated? - How do humans 'stay in the loop'? - SHOULD humans stay in the loop? - What do we know about candidate experience and how will AI improve this? - Bias: how do we ensure AI does not exacerbate bias in hiring? - Where will recruiters be spending time in 2026? - How will the role of hiring managers change with the increase use of AI? - What does the optimal structure of TA look like going forward? - How do TA leaders start the journey toward getting there today?   All this and more, with some of the smartest people in the industry talking us through it. We're with industry legends John Vlastelica, Founder (RecruitingToolbox), Kevin Wheeler, Founder (Future of Talent Institute), Jim Miller, VP of People & Talent (Ashby), Syeda Younus, Director Research (Gartner) & Mary Kay Baldino, Head of Talent Acquisition (Morningstar)   We are on Friday 14th March, 12PM PST / 3PM EST / 7PM GMT     Register by clicking the green button and follow the channel here (recommended)     Ep296 is sponsored by our friends at Ashby   Ashby is what an ATS should be: an integration of sourcing automation, AI-supported outreach sequencing, native interview scheduling, a searchable CRM, and advanced analytics – all in one ATS++ system.

It's a Championship Clash of the Correspondents as James catches up with Burnley fan Jack Toner and Luton Town fan Dan Ashby to discuss veryt differing fortunes for two clubs who were in the Premier League last season. Burnley are third with promotion in sight and have a barely believable defensive record having only conceded 9 goals in 34 league games. But do the underlying numbers suggest this is unsustainable? Are Burnley fans in support of what Scott Parker is trying to do? Meanwhile Luton are 3rd from bottom and would have been 24th if not for Saturday's win against Portsmouth. It was a first win in 9 for new manager Matt Bloomfield who replaced Rob Edwards in January. Why has it gone so wrong for The Hatters? There's an overview of both the relegation and promotion race and discussion on the increasing difficult task of getting into the Premier League and staying there.# Follow Jack on Twitter/x: https://x.com/TurfyTopper Follow Dan on Twitter/x: https://x.com/danlukeashby Tomorrow on Planet FPL: Planet FPL s8 ep39, Chips & The Assmen vol,3.

Please note: this episode contains MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS for the book if you haven't read it yet from the start In this Mini episode, we return to the world of the Wayfarer with “The Long Way to a Small, Angry, Planet”, and ask questions we hadn't asked before. Note, this episode features spoilers for the book. The Back of the Book:“Follow a motley crew on an exciting journey through space-and one adventurous young explorer who discovers the meaning of family in the far reaches of the universe-in this light-hearted debut space opera from a rising sci-fi star.Rosemary Harper doesn't expect much when she joins the crew of the aging Wayfarer. While the patched-up ship has seen better days, it offers her a bed, a chance to explore the far-off corners of the galaxy, and most importantly, some distance from her past. An introspective young woman who learned early to keep to herself, she's never met anyone remotely like the ship's diverse crew, including Sissix, the exotic reptilian pilot, chatty engineers Kizzy and Jenks who keep the ship running, and Ashby, their noble captain.Life aboard the Wayfarer is chaotic and crazy—exactly what Rosemary wants. It's also about to get extremely dangerous when the crew is offered the job of a lifetime. Tunneling wormholes through space to a distant planet is definitely lucrative and will keep them comfortable for years. But risking her life wasn't part of the plan. In the far reaches of deep space, the tiny Wayfarer crew will confront a host of unexpected mishaps and thrilling adventures that force them to depend on each other. To survive, Rosemary's got to learn how to rely on this assortment of oddballs—an experience that teaches her about love and trust, and that having a family isn't necessarily the worst thing in the universe.”Content WarningsNoneSupport the showRecommend us a Book!If there's a book you want to recommend to us to read, just send us a message/email and we'll pop it on our long list (but please read our review policy on our website first for the books we accept).Social MediaWebsite: https://teachingmycattoread.wordpress.com/Email: teachingmycattoread@gmail.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/teachmycat2read/Tumblr: https://teachingmycattoread.tumblr.comYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFXi9LNQv8SBQt8ilgTZXtQListener Surveyhttps://forms.gle/TBZUBH4SK8dez8RP9

Pittsburgh has a strong connection to the world of jazz; in fact, you might say it is sacred ground for this music genre. Many of the legends of jazz - like Billy Eckstine, Billy Taylor, Ray Brown, George Benson, Stanley Turrentine, Mary Lou Williams, Ahmad Jamal, Art Blakey and dozens more - are from this Pennsylvania “burg.”   In this episode, we talk with co-founder and executive producer of MCG Jazz, Marty Ashby, about how MCG Jazz grew out of the organization founded in the 1960's by Bill Strickland as Manchester Craftsman Guild. What started as Strickland's dream to serve and give back to the community, has since grown into a powerhouse program.  As a Craftsman Guild, MCG initially provided a space to develop ceramics, photography and digital design education for urban youth. In the late 80's, Strickland joined forces with jazz guitarist Ashby. Together as co-founders, they started MCG Jazz, where Ashby also continues to grow this legacy program as its executive producer.  Our conversation begins with Marty Ashby telling me about the backstory to this incredible organization, its history, present projects and their vision for the future of keeping Jazz alive for generations to come

Cat is a dynamic speaker and bestselling author known for her raw, authentic, and caring approach while Dr. Ashby challenges the status quo through her high-energy, cutting-edge, and humorous presentation leaves audiences re-imagining the future of business. Both are experts on collective giving and are reimagining philanthropy with their grassroots organization, The She Angels Foundation, where they are pooling their resources to make a big impact through $5,000 grants to underfunded organizations.

They are challenging the notion that you need to be a major donor to make a difference, showing how small, consistent contributions can add up to create real change. After listening to this episode, you'll feel energized about the potential for this model to transform the nonprofit and “community” landscape.Topics:The power of collective giving and using strategic giving to make a huge impact with small donations while fostering communityHow Theresa and Catherine are reimagining what it means to be in community via diversity, belonging, openness and freedom – especially for women Why Catherine believes people are inherently good, and how Dr. Ashby is helping people learn how to implement that goodLiving out your values not even in your daily life, but through your philanthropic efforts too in order to emulate how others can do the same Recognizing that the younger generations are now in the position where they can teach us about giving, monetarily and beyond For a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Get early access and exclusive bonuses: sign up for the waitlist now!Resources: Purpose & Profit Club™ Coaching Program [Get on the waitlist for bonuses] Instagram, LinkedIn, website Purpose and Profit Club weekly newsletter Click here for our Free Guide: 10 Winning Email Subject Lines May contain affiliate links
