Get your ticket while you can at https://www.cubicletoceo.co/bloomtogether Many remote teams struggle with connection, culture, and performance, but Ginni Media is raising the bar. Founder Ginni Saraswati Cook recently led a company-wide culture assessment to evaluate how her remote team was experiencing work satisfaction across five core drivers: Sense of Progress, Challenge, Autonomy, Meaningful Goals, and Team Support. When comparing the results, Ginni Media beat the industry average in every category, including scoring an impressive 100% in team support. Even traditionally tough metrics like autonomy and progress came in nearly 20 percentage points higher than typical benchmarks for remote, hybrid, and in-person teams. This is not a happy accident. In today's case study, Ginni breaks down the intentional leadership strategies she uses to build trust, motivate her team, and maintain high work satisfaction. If you lead a remote team—or plan to—this is a culture blueprint worth copying.

This is the eighth lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey's Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. What fundamental commitments lie beneath every argument—ours and others'? In this lesson, we explore the essential concept of presuppositions: the foundational beliefs that shape how people interpret reality. We begin by surveying a range of influential thinkers who challenge the notion of objective, neutral knowledge. Though differing in emphasis, each demonstrate that human understanding is always shaped by deeper frameworks: whether through paradigms that govern scientific inquiry, social structures that define reality, or systems of power that shape what is accepted as truth. Building on this recognition, we turn to Cornelius Van Til, who shows that beneath all such frameworks lie ultimate commitments—religious in nature—that govern how people interpret every aspect of life. This lesson equips you to uncover the presuppositions behind objections to the faith and to expose the necessity of the Christian worldview as the only foundation for truth, meaning, and rationality. 01:06 Understanding Presuppositions 04:02 Key Thinkers and Concepts 10:28 The Theological Foundations of Presuppositions 14:10 The Danger of Autonomy 16:51 The Demand for Consistency 21:56 Compassionate Engagement with Unbelievers 23:58 Summary and Conclusion Register for this free on-demand course on our website to track your progress, download supplemental resources, and assess your understanding through quizzes for each lesson.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE (+ scroll for resources)
In this episode, Todd continues dismantling the transformation of modern political movements into ideological religions—complete with dogma, heresy, excommunication, and a mob-ready priesthood of online enforcers. Drawing on figures like H.L. Mencken, Joan Didion, Noam Chomsky, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, he explores how belief systems—left and right—have become substitute faiths, powered by dopamine, hashtags, and performative outrage. Todd weaves in cognitive science (via Nicholas Carr and neuroplasticity), propaganda theory (via Jacques Ellul and Edward Bernays), and personal experience to reveal how the digital age has eroded attention spans, critical thought, and individual conscience. Social media becomes the new pulpit. Echo chambers replace dialogue. Heresy now means thinking for yourself. At the core is a warning: intellectual autonomy now requires personal and moral courage. The courage to be disliked. To reject tribalism. To say, “That's bullshit”—especially when it comes from your own side. From Mencken's skewering of revivalist mobs to the modern cancellation of NPR apostate Uli Berliner, Todd paints a bleak but brutally honest picture of conformity culture, urging listeners to reclaim their minds—even if it means exile. This is not a feel-good sermon. It's a call to arms for the heretical unicorn. *Recorded in Southwest Michigan and blasting worldwide on WBCQ 7490 starting next week! Details inside. Like it?

Kevin Peterson, Co-Founder & CTO, Bedrock Robotics joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss the growing labor shortage in the construction industry and how Bedrock is developing autonomous construction equipment to help builders keep building.America's construction industry is facing a crisis with a shortage of 500,000 workers delaying projects by an average of two months and costing $2.7 billion annually. Bedrock is looking to solve that problem as they are building autonomous construction equipment using machine learning techniques such as imitation learning and reinforcement learning to teach machines how to dig, move, and adapt in real-world job sites.Throughout the conversation, Grayson and Kevin explore the economic, technical, and operational challenges facing the construction sector, from power constraints slowing down data center builds to safety risks on chaotic job sites and how autonomy can solve these growing issues.

The United States Supreme Court first acknowledged what would become the church autonomy doctrine, also known as the ecclesiastical abstention doctrine, in the 1871 case of Watson v. Jones, 80 U.S. 679 (1871). That case involved a schism in a Presbyterian church in Louisville, Kentucky, over the issue of slavery. The Court fashioned a principle that civil courts should not decide issues regarding faith, doctrine, and membership. Later, in Kedroff v. Saint Nicholas Cathedral, 344 U.S. 94 (1952), the Court cemented the rule of deference to ecclesiastical bodies in internal church disputes, grounding the rule in the First Amendment and applying it to states through the Fourteenth Amendment. However, a competing rule emerged in certain circumstances in a 5-4 decision in Jones v. Wolf, 443 U.S. 595 (1979). In Jones, a divided Court held that civil courts may also use “neutral principles” of law to resolve church schisms involving property disputes. Today, courts wrestle with the dilemma of applying deference or neutral principles and face challenging questions regarding the nature of the church autonomy doctrine, including whether it is jurisdictional in nature and its application in a variety of circumstances.Join us for a conversation among religious liberty advocates on these and related topics.Featuring:Prof. Carl H.

In this wide-ranging and thought-provoking conversation, we're joined by teacher and researcher Richard Bustin, author of the fascinating new book What Are We Teaching? We delve deep into some of the biggest questions in curriculum and pedagogy today – from the concept of powerful knowledge to the ongoing tensions between progressivism and traditionalism in education. What does it mean to teach in a way that builds pupils' capabilities – not just their test scores? And how can we balance a knowledge-rich curriculum with professional teacher autonomy? Richard brings a rare blend of classroom insight, research rigour, and philosophical curiosity to this conversation. We discuss: What powerful knowledge is – and isn't How geography “went woke” Whether the progressivism vs traditionalism debate is helpful or reductive Why a focus on capabilities might offer a richer way forward The risks of top-down curriculum mandates And why teacher professionalism and trust matter more than ever This is a rich and energising listen for anyone who cares deeply about what – and how – we teach. Richard Bustin is a secondary geography teacher and doctoral researcher with a focus on curriculum studies, powerful knowledge, and geo-capabilities. His book What Are We Teaching? (2025) is a compelling invitation to examine the deeper messages embedded in our teaching and to reclaim the professional agency of teachers as curriculum-makers.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Tesla and Alphabet's Q2 2025 earnings calls, Tesla's growing robotaxi ambitions and the launch of Zoox's limited fixed-route service in Las Vegas.Tesla's Robotaxi expansion ambitions are growing, and on their Q2 2025 earnings call, Elon Musk disclosed that Tesla is looking to expand robotaxi service to Nevada, Florida, Arizona and the Bay Area as soon as this weekend. Two key factors behind Tesla's ability to scale quickly are its expansive Supercharger network and its streamlined sensor suite, which is much simpler than those used by Waymo.In Las Vegas, Zoox which requires a robust sensor-suite opened service to members of the public through what the company calls an “Explorers Program”. The operation is highly restricted running only between Resorts World and Luxor, with every ride requiring concierge assistance, giving it the feel of a Disneyland ride rather than an robotaxi service.While robotaxis are scaling, the autonomous trucking industry continues to work through its business model. Multiple models are emerging, with some companies focused on licensing their technology and others building vertically integrated operations.This week, Walt joined the PACCAR earnings call to ask a question about their partnership with Aurora.Episode Chapters0:00 Tesla Q2 2025 Earnings / Robotaxi4:26 FSD Take Rate6:53 Safety9:38 Robotaxi Expansion to Las Vegas?11:15 Zoox Las Vegas Service17:55 Who Launches Commercial Service First in Vegas?

Today's guest is Michael Zweifel. Michael is the Defensive Coordinator and Defensive Backs Coach at UW–La Crosse, now in his fourth season with the program. He previously founded Building Better Athletes (BBA Performance) in Dubuque, Iowa, training athletes from youth to pro levels. Michael also coached at Clarke College and the University of Dubuque. A former record-setting wide receiver, he won the 2011 Gagliardi Trophy and still holds the NCAA all-divisions career receptions record (463). In athletic development, the “5 S's of performance”: Strength, Speed, Stamina, Suppleness, and Skill are often brought up. What tends to be the case is that those 5 elements are weighted in that order, with skill mentioned, but rarely or ever studied in how to improve it. On today's show, Michael discusses his own creative approach to skill development in American football players with an emphasis on building artistry and adaptability in his players. He speaks on the nature of constraint-based coaching that helps athletes improve their arsenal of movements on the field, as well as their decision-making skills amid chaos. We also touch on the crossover between basketball and football, and ultimately, the art of long-term development of skill in one's sport and as an athlete in general.

College athletes can handle more volume and complexity, but the fundamentals still matter. What to try: Prioritize clean movement and buy-in over complexity in high school settings. Introduce more autonomy and load management with college athletes. Don't assume physical maturity—meet athletes where they are. Balancing Strength and Movement Skill in Team Settings – [5:03] It's not just about chasing strength numbers. There's value in seeing how strength integrates into movement, especially in large team environments. What to try: Cycle in movement tasks—like crawling, balancing, or landing—in warmups and finishers. Use strength work to support athletic expression, not just output. Keep the athlete's sport in mind—strength is a tool, not the goal. Developing the Skill of Lifting in Young Athletes – [11:09] Lifting isn't just strength—it's a skill. For youth athletes, you're teaching how to move with awareness under load. What to try: Start with basic isometrics and bodyweight patterns to teach control. Add load only when position and rhythm are reliable. Use slow eccentrics and pauses to reinforce stability. Rethinking Readiness: Performance vs. Output – [15:34] Readiness isn't just about lifting heavier or running faster—it's about how an athlete moves and feels. Output is one piece, not the whole picture. What to try: Include subjective readiness check-ins before training. Look for signs of fluidity, control,

Diet culture thrives in isolation. It tells us we must heal alone, control ourselves into wellness, and avoid burdening others with our food struggles. But what if true recovery depends not on control, but on connection? In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne explores how co-regulation—the experience of nervous system safety in relationship—can be a radical force for healing. She explains how eating disorders often develop in the absence of relational safety and why diet culture reinforces disconnection and shame. Through the lens of nervous system science, trauma-informed care, and body liberation, this episode centers the power of healing in community. Dr. Marianne also shares why co-regulation can look different for neurodivergent people, especially those with PDA (Pervasive Drive for Autonomy). You'll learn how autonomy and co-regulation are not opposites, and how spacious, consent-based connection can be life-changing in recovery. Whether you are navigating ARFID, anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, or a complex relationship with food and body, this episode offers a compassionate, liberation-oriented approach to healing that honors your boundaries, your needs, and your nervous system. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: Why diet culture depends on disconnection and control How eating disorders often emerge from a lack of safe, attuned relationships What co-regulation is and why it supports sustainable recovery How co-regulation can be tailored for neurodivergent folks, including those with PDA Why autonomy and connection are both essential for healing Ways to build nervous system safety in recovery without pressure or compliance How community-based healing challenges shame, perfectionism, and diet culture LISTEN TO RELATED EPISODES: Stuck on Empty: Autistic Inertia, ARFID & the Struggle to Eat on Apple & Spotify.

Welcome to the Indo-Pacific State of Cyber Series with ISACA and sponsored by Vanta. We present the third session with the State of Trust – Critical to the success of every businessSpeakersJamie Norton - ISACA Board Member Jason Wood - Auckland Chapter former President Reshma Devi - Melbourne Chapter Board Member Evan Rowse – Vanta A copy of the VANTA report is available here https://mysecuritymarketplace.com/vantaA copy of the ISACA report - State of Digital Trust 2024 is available here https://www.isaca.org/resources/reports/state-of-digital-trust-2024Trust is critical to the success of every business. But building, scaling and demonstrating trust is getting harder for Australian organisations. To meet customer expectations, security leaders and their teams must address complex threats, a growing compliance burden, and increasing risk from their third-party vendor footprint. The rapid adoption of AI technologies only adds to the challenge, requiring more oversight and governance.Vanta's second annual State of Trust Report uncovers key trends across these areas of security, compliance and the future of trust. Based on a survey of 2,500 IT and business leaders (with 500 of the respondents from Australia), our research found that more than half (58%) of Australian organisations say that security risks for their business have never been higher.More than 5,800 digital trust professionals shared their insights for ISACA's State of Digital Trust research and give their perspectives on:The top benefits of digital trustThe consequences of a lack of digital trustBiggest digital trust obstaclesAccountability for digital trustBudgetsMeasurementSPONSOR: Vanta's trust management platform takes the manual work out of your security and compliance process and replaces it with continuous automation—whether you're pursuing your first framework or managing a complex program.For more on the Security & Risk Professional Insight Series visit https://mysecuritymarketplace.com/security-amp-risk-professional-insight-series-2025/For more on IPRAAC – visit Indo-Pacific Robotics, Autonomy, AI and Cyber Conference 7-9 October 2025 – Perth, Western Australia - https://indopacificroboticsconference...For more information on our sponsor – VANTA – visit https://mysecuritymarketplace.com/vanta#vanta #isaca #digitaltrust #mysecuritytv

Tim Bucher, Co-Founder & CEO, Agtonomy joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss how a 47-year-old California regulation is stalling the adoption of autonomous tractors and threatening the future of farming in the Golden State.Since his last appearance, Agtonomy has entered into a partnership with Kubota to develop autonomous tractors aimed at easing the growing labor shortages in agriculture. Despite this progress, regulatory hurdles remain a significant barrier to scaling these technologies in California. A 47-year-old CAL/OSHA regulation technically prohibits the use of autonomous tractors on private farmland, a law originally implemented to prevent the dangerous practice of “driverless tractors,” where operators would jump off moving machines to complete manual tasks.Today, that outdated regulation is being applied to modern autonomous tractors, creating a de facto ban. As a CAL/OSHA's autonomous ag vehicles committee member, Tim offers a behind-the-scenes look at the slow but promising progress toward updating the law and unlocking the future of farming in California.Episode Chapters0:00 Agtonomy x Kubota6:25 CAL/OSHA Regulations10:36 Historical Context of CAL/OSHA “Driverless” Regulations17:57 CAL/OSHA Advisory Committee23:49 Defining Regulatory Language25:50 Engaging with the Autonomous Ag Community32:15 Labor Issues37:13 Regulations39:58 Regulations & Economics43:35 Preparing for GrowthRecorded on Thursday, July 17, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

In this episode of the BrushwithBritt Podcast, Britt sits down with Derik Sven
Ever tried to juggle visionary ideas, tight budgets, and a team that spans every learning style under the sun? In this episode of The Small Nonprofit, Maria sits down with management coach and EDI powerhouse Marisa Tran (they/them) to unpack what “people-first, consent-based leadership” really looks like when you're running a small shop. Marisa is an autistic, gender-queer, Irish-Vietnamese settler with 15 years of experience helping organizations clean up their HR, embed equity, and grow managers into actual leaders. Their superpowers: workplace harm reduction, accessibility audits, and coaching folks who were promoted for being great at their job...but never shown how to lead. Managing People – The Highlights Performance talks should be boringly routine Make goals and feedback part of every weekly or bi-weekly check-in so “the big scary review” never sneaks up on anyone. Consent in management LONG before performance reviews, work with the staffer to create a work plan and a check in cadence. Autonomy = trust. Recognition isn't one-size-fits-all Annual raises matter, but some staff love public shout-outs while others want quiet affirmation or extra learning budgets. Ask, don't assume. Leaders own the misses; teams own the wins When targets slip, step up and shield your crew. When they soar, hand them the mic and the credit. Diversity of thought strengthens strategy Pair big-idea generators with detail-oriented implementers and professional problem-spotters. Different brains, stronger outcomes. 3 Actionable Tips for Managing People: Bake goals into your meeting agenda Create a living doc or dashboard you revisit every check-in. Progress, blockers, next steps; nothing fancy, just visible. Run a “How do you like to be celebrated?” survey Five quick questions (think love-languages-at-work) will save you from that pizza-party flop and show staff you actually listen. Track turnover like a KPI Note tenure, role, and identities (where shared). Spikes in departures—especially among marginalized staff—are flashing red lights for culture repair.

Visit us at Network2020.org. The EU's Readiness 2030 plan marks a significant shift in European defense, with €800 billion in planned spending driven by the war in Ukraine and growing doubts about U.S. security guarantees. As the bloc moves to strengthen its military capabilities and reduce reliance on external powers, key questions emerge: Could shared threats finally unify national defense strategies? Will common borrowing transform how Europe finances its security? And how might a more robust European defense industry reshape relations with Washington?Join us on for a discussion with Dr. Rob de Wijk, founder of The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies (HCSS) and Professor of International Relations and Security at the Institute of Security and Global Affairs at Leiden University; and Sander Tordoir, Chief Economist at the Centre for European Reform. This conversation will provide key insights into European defense space and transatlantic security.Music by Alex_Kizenkov from Pixabay.
Bioethicist Arthur Schafer has thought a lot about life and death. He has helped shape policy on medically assisted death (MAID) in Canada. The philosophy professor argues that an ideal end-of-life legislation would be respectful of individual choice and the wishes of individuals to die according to their own values. "The best ethical argument is that patient autonomy is a fundamental value," Schafer told IDEAS host Nahlah Ayed. He discusses the role of philosophy in addressing complex ethical dilemmas confronting individuals, and society as a whole.
What if your greatest leadership asset wasn't your product or service, but the emotional connection people feel towards your brand? In this thought-provoking episode, award-winning brand strategist Doug Zarkin challenges the idea that branding is just a marketing function. Instead, he positions it as a vital leadership responsibility—one that shapes how people engage with your organization at every level.Doug, former chief marketing officer for Pearl Vision and author of Get Your Brand Out of the Friend Zone, introduces the idea of “sticky brands”—those that earn both high passion and high trust. He connects this directly to leadership, explaining that people are drawn to brands and leaders they believe in. Just like customers choose brands they trust and love, employees stay loyal to leaders who value and inspire them. Leadership and branding, Doug argues, are reflections of the same human principles.He also offers practical insights on building teams, hiring for passion, and embracing the “three A's” of Authority, Autonomy, and Accountability. Through powerful sports analogies and his concept of “thinking human,” Doug reminds us that creating emotional connections—with customers and team members alike—is the key to lasting impact. Whether you're leading a large organization or a small team, this episode offers a roadmap for turning brand loyalty into leadership success.
This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss their driver-out ride with Avride, Nuro's impressive deal with Lucid and Uber, and Waymo's Austin depot operated by AVOMO. While in Austin last week, Grayson and Walt met with AVride, experienced a fully autonomous ride in their Hyundai IONIQ 5, and spent time with the company's management team. AVride's engineering and OEM partnership strategy stood out as key strengths and later this year, the company will launch commercial service on the Uber network in Dallas.Scaling robotaxi services requires real-world logistics, and companies such as AVOMO are leaning into the opportunity by building businesses to manage fleets of robotaxis. In Austin, AVOMO is managing a Costco-sized depot with 36 charging ports and on-site maintenance for Uber's Austin Waymo fleet.Another day, another autonomy deal for Uber. This week, Nuro announced a six-year deal with Lucid Motors and Uber to bring fully integrated autonomous Lucid Gravity vehicles powered by the Nuro driver to the Uber platform starting next year. As part of the deal, Uber is going to own the asset as they are entering the asset-ownership game, as we correctly called on Autonomy Markets.Episode Chapters0:00 Avomo, Waymo, Uber Austin Depot7:51 Depot Real Estate10:16 Vehicle Ownership13:13 Waymo / Uber Relationship 15:13 Avride23:30 Nuro, Lucid, Uber Deal 32:42 Uber's Autonomous Vehicle Asset + Logistics Strategy36:32 Tesla Robotaxi's Expanded Austin Service Area40:41 Next WeekRecorded on Thursday, July 17, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

William von Hippel is a professor of psychology and author of The Social Paradox, which explores how the overvaluation of autonomy has led to isolation and alienation, challenging the very essence of human thriving. In this episode, we delve into "The Paradox of Autonomy and Connection" and discover insights into how our evolutionary history has shaped our current societal norms and the consequences of prioritizing autonomy over connection. Join us as we navigate the complexities of relationships, societal structures, and the path to a more connected and fulfilling life.Books by William Von Hipple | https://shorturl.at/ZIMieThis episode is sponsored by►Metal Mark Golden Collectable Art | https://mtlmrk.com/►Korrect Energy | https://korrectlife.com/| Aubrey Marcus |Website | http://bit.ly/2GesYqi Instagram | http://bit.ly/2BlfCEO Facebook | http://bit.ly/2F4nBZk X | http://bit.ly/2BlGBAdAdSubscribe to the Aubrey Marcus newsletter:https://www.aubreymarcus.com/pages/emailTo partner with the Aubrey Marcus PodcastSubscribe to the Aubrey Marcus podcast:iTunes | https://apple.co/2lMZRCn Spotify | https://spoti.fi/2EaELZO Stitcher | http://bit.ly/2G8ccJt IHeartRadio | https://ihr.fm/3CiV4x3

For episode 11 of On the Move, we are wrapping up a three-part discussion around the similarities of Heavy Equipment (HE) and Automotive industries to deliver software-defined products (SDPs) more effectively. HE products already require long usage lives and high reliability which has created an incentive for modularization similar to aerospace. But the increased cost of autonomy features in automotive and the need to update software continuously is pushing OEMs in that same direction as they grapple with changing market demands. To talk about how that is happening in the development and business planning, our host Nand Kochhar (VP of Automotive and Transportation) and moderator Michael Severson talk with Hendrick Lange (Senior Director of Heavy Equipment at Siemens Digital Industries) and Akshay Sheorey (Automotive and Transportation Industry Specialist for Autonomy)
We talk a lot about what it means to lead—what it means to thrive—not just in the big moments, but in the everyday choices we make at work, at home, and in the spaces in between. In a recent conversation with Ellen Joan Ford, we explored what it really takes for people—not just high performers or executives, but people—to do meaningful work and to lead with integrity. We didn't talk about leadership as a checklist or a set of metrics. We talked about belonging. About autonomy. About purpose. The kind of leadership that cares deeply for people and, yes, still drives results. Ellen shared her journey—honest, intentional, and grounded in real life. We talked about flexible work, not as a perk, but as a necessity for inclusion. We talked about what it means to feel seen, to be accepted, and to know your work has meaning. There's something powerful about redefining leadership—not as command and control, but as creating the conditions for others to rise. That's where resilience lives. That's where motivation begins—not in fear or pressure, but in clarity, connection, and trust. This conversation isn't just for leaders in corner offices. It's for working parents. It's for team builders. It's for anyone who wants to cultivate courage, foster belonging, and build communities—inside organizations and beyond—where people can bring their whole selves to the work they do. Because at the end of the day, thriving isn't about doing more. It's about becoming more of who we already are—together.

David Welch, Detroit Bureau Chief, Bloomberg joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss the future of autonomy.Is Waymo preparing to pivot away from owning and operating robotaxi fleets towards licensing the Waymo Driver to companies such as Toyota, and perhaps even Ford and GM? If Waymo were to fully pivot to a licensing model, it could establish a new model in which legacy OEMs become contract manufacturers for autonomous driving developers. With legacy OEMs acting as contract manufacturers, a new ecosystem would emerge in which OEMs build the vehicles, finance companies carry them on their balance sheets, service providers manage operations, and autonomous driving developers supply the autonomous driving systems under licensing agreements.Meanwhile, Foxconn has ambitions to become the contract manufacturer of choice for robotaxi developers. If Foxconn were to enter the sector at scale, who would become the fleet operator? Who would finance the vehicles and own them on their balance sheet?Today, there are still more questions than answers when it comes to the future of autonomy. Yet despite this current uncertainty, the outlines of the industry's next era are beginning to take shape.Episode Chapters0:00 Ford's LiDAR Demands4:16 Financing Autonomous Driving Platforms 5:44 Would GM Sell The Origin Platform to Cruise?13:24 GM & Politics 15:38 Foxconn21:34 Licensing Autonomous Driving Systems 23:15 Fully-Electric Pick-up Trucks30:21 Tesla32:35 Breaking out Robotaxi Revenue 36:11 Waymo41:41 May Mobility on Lyft43:16 Toyota44:53 Waymo OEM Partnerships 46:02 What To Look For in the MarketsRecorded on Monday, July 7, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

Bryan Bockmon is CEO of AimLock—a company pushing the boundaries of defense autonomy with real-world solutions that enhance mission effectiveness and save lives. Founded in 2013, AimLock is a U.S.-based developer of advanced autonomous targeting and engagement systems for defense applications. Their Core Targeting Modules—or CTMs—are designed to deliver decision-accelerating autonomy across a wide range of mission sets, including Counter-UAS, Force Protection, Direct Action, and more. With a fully networked, modular open systems approach, or MOSA for short, AimLock's technology integrates with everything from small arms to unmanned systems, aircraft, and maritime platforms. Bryan brings more than two decades of experience in R&D, engineering, and leadership across autonomy and weapons systems. At AimLock, he leads strategic initiatives and product development with a focus on scalable battlefield autonomy. He's a strong advocate for integrating autonomy into defense operations and is especially passionate about how small businesses are helping redefine the future of warfare—particularly in the wake of the global War on Terror. Under his leadership, AimLock is setting new standards for modular design and rapid field deployment. In this episode of the Drone Radio Show, Bryan shares insights on AimLock's innovations—including the role of Core Targeting Modules, how MOSA is transforming defense integration, and what the future holds for autonomy in the combat space. We'll also explore how AimLock supports platforms across air, ground, and maritime domains—and how lessons from real-world conflicts like Ukraine are influencing system design and deployment.
Is it possible for teachers to have both autonomy in their math classroom and alignment with district goals? In this episode, we challenge the idea that autonomy and alignment are opposing forces. Instead, we explore how they can work together to create strong, consistent math programs while still honouring professional judgement and instructional creativity.From pacing guides to new resources, we reflect on how district structures can feel restrictive—but don't have to be. When done well, alignment provides clarity, consistency, and support, without sacrificing a teacher's voice or expertise.In this episode, you'll discover:Why autonomy and alignment are not opposites—but parts of the same systemHow strong alignment can actually support, not diminish, teacher autonomyReal examples of how districts and teachers can find the right balanceHow to shift the narrative around pacing guides and new resourcesWhy system-wide alignment benefits students without disempowering teachersNot sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

What if death isn't inevitable but a solvable problem? This episode explores how biohacking is reshaping our understanding of mortality, legacy, and the limits of human performance.
