Her mission is simple but powerful: to make high-quality, restaurant-style comfort food accessible at home, while honoring the deep emotional ties that food can hold. Launched in 2014. Dumpling Daughter began as a beloved local restaurant in the Boston area and has since expanded into a rapidly growing CPG brand featuring frozen dumplings, bao buns, and sauces that celebrate generational flavors.   In this episode, Nadia takes us on a journey from her Boston roots and business school days at Babson College to the high-pressure world of Wall Street — and ultimately, back to her cultural heritage in the kitchen.  Along the way, Nadia opens up about honoring her family's culinary legacy — including her mother's legendary fine-dining restaurant, Sally Ling's — and what it takes to build a brand defined by authenticity, innovation, and uncompromising quality. From the challenges of food manufacturing to the nuances of flavor storytelling, she gives us an inside look at redefining "premium" in the world of ready-to-cook cuisine. Show notes: 0:25: Nadia Liu Spellman, Founder & CEO, Dumpling Daughter – Nadia fondly reflects on her childhood spent in the heart of her parents' lively Chinese restaurant, where her passion for food first took root. From preparing family dinners as a tween to eventually leaving behind a corporate career, she shares what inspired her leap into entrepreneurship. The Covid-19 pandemic became a turning point, offering Dumpling Daughter the chance to grow into a CPG brand that weaves heritage and hospitality into every bite. Nadia discusses her love for being the face of the brand—appearing in behind-the-scenes stories on Instagram—and why she sees competition as a motivator, not a threat. With a brand flywheel that connects direct-to-consumer, retail, and restaurant channels, she talks about why she's thinking big, while staying grounded in her mission: to share food that tastes like home.

Lawrence Ward will mark his first year as University of Hartford president in July. Ward sat down with the CBIA BizCast to discuss his journey to lead UHart, his first year, and his goals for the university. UHart is something of a homecoming for Ward, who grew up in Vernon and graduated from the University of Connecticut. Ward's career actually started in sales and marketing at Aetna. But said the “seeds for being an educator were first planted as a young child.” Ward said growing up, he looked up to his mother—a high school social studies teacher. With the help of several mentors, Ward shifted to consulting for an organizational training company, and ultimately becoming an associate dean at American University and a dean and vice president at Babson College. Ward said he was drawn to UHart's ethos of being a private university that works to serve the public good. He also said coming back to Hartford was a full-circle moment for his family. Ward's grandmother, who didn't have more than an eighth grade education, worked as a chambermaid to help put three children through school. “The only thing that makes my story possible, and that of my family, is the promise of higher education,” he said. “So it's really important, it's very personal, and it is a tremendous honor to come back as president.” Ward became president during a period of transition for the university. That includes post-COVID financial realities and the controversial decision to shift from Division I to Division III athletics. “I have a challenge of rebuilding confidence in this institution and rebuilding confidence in ourself organizationally,” he said. “That's a cultural challenge.” Ward said its been important to him to be present, engaged, and accessible to really understand the community. "I really prided myself on these first nine months, on doing exactly that," he said. "I have been really heartened by the university community's response to me and my leadership." Ward said his immediate goal is to make UHart a preferred destination for students and families. A big part of that is developing programs that prepare students for in-demand careers like nursing, robotics, and business. “We've got some really strong market-facing in-demand programs, and we need to match that with really high-quality student focused experience on campus,” he said. To do that, Ward said they are stepping up their efforts to engage with companies to create unique partnerships that will create career pipelines for students, benefitting the businesses and the university. Ward said as the university evolves, it's important they live up to their name and help lift up the Hartford community. “We feel as though we have a responsibility as a University of Hartford to be supportive,” he said. “Success for the region will mean success for the University of Hartford.” The CBIA BizCast is made possible through the generous support of Google.

We want leaders to do the right thing when tested, and we want and believe we will rise to the challenge when the moment presents itself. But the current way we learn how to act ethically in those critical moments doesn't always translate or cause us to think we can do it effectively and confidently. Why not? How can we better prepare ourselves and our leaders when the moment arises? This is that episode. Giving Voice to Values (GVV) is an innovative approach to values-driven leadership development in business education and the workplace. Drawing on actual experience and scholarship, GVV fills a long-standing critical gap in the development of values-centered leaders. It's not about persuading people to be more ethical. Rather GVV starts from the premise that most of us already want to act on our values, but that we also want to feel that we have a reasonable chance of doing so effectively and successfully. In this episode we'll explore how to raise those odds.***ABOUT OUR GUEST:Mary C. Gentile, PhD,  is Creator and Director of Giving Voice to Values (www.GivingVoiceToValuesTheBook.com), launched with The Aspen Institute and Yale School of Management and hosted at Babson College for 6 years, now based at UVA-Darden. This values-driven leadership curriculum has been piloted and/or presented in over 1,500 sites globally and has been featured in Financial Times, Harvard Business Review, Stanford Social Innovation Review, McKinsey Quarterly, etc. Gentile is a consultant, speaker and author on GVV. She was formerly the Richard M. Waitzer Bicentennial Professor of Ethics at UVA Darden  (2016-2022) and was previously at Harvard Business School (1985-95) and Babson College (2009—2015). She holds a B.A. from The College of William and Mary and Ph.D. from State University of New York-Buffalo.Gentile's publications include: Giving Voice to Values: How To Speak Your Mind When You Know What's Right; Can Ethics Be Taught? Perspectives, Challenges, and Approaches at Harvard Business School (with Thomas Piper & Sharon Parks); Differences That Work: Organizational Excellence through Diversity; Managerial Excellence Through Diversity: Text and Cases, as well as cases and articles in Harvard Business Review, Stanford Social Innovation Review, Academy of Management Learning and Education, Risk Management, CFO, BizEd, Strategy+Business, and others. Gentile was Content Expert for the award-winning CD-ROM, Managing Across Differences (Harvard Business School Publishing). ***IF YOU ENJOYED THIS EPISODE, CAN I ASK A FAVOR?We do not receive any funding or sponsorship for this podcast.

Seattle home prices are notoriously sky-high, making this city a difficult place to afford and move to. How did Seattle and other U.S. cities become that way? Or, as historian and journalist Yoni Appelbaum puts it, how did the U.S. cease to be the land of opportunity? Pulling from his book, Stuck, Appelbaum explores how housing affects the very fabric of our society. For 200 years, people in the U.S. moved to new places for economic and social opportunity. But, Appelbaum argues that not only is this American Dream becoming more inaccessible, it hasn't been available to many for a long time. He explains how zoning laws stopped people from moving, including the legal segregation of Jewish workers in New York's Lower East Side and the private-sector discrimination and racist public policy that trapped Black families in Flint, Michigan. These efforts, Appelbaum says, have raised housing prices, deepened political divides, emboldened bigots, and trapped generations of people in poverty. And now, he argues, we are stuck––literally unable to move. While Seattle may be an expensive place to live, it's a common story all over the country. Appelbaum describes what caused these problems and lays out ways to get people moving again. Yoni Appelbaum is a deputy executive editor of The Atlantic and a social and cultural historian of the United States. Before joining The Atlantic, he was a lecturer on history and literature at Harvard University. He previously taught at Babson College and at Brandeis University, where he received his PhD in American history.

Kevin Rhodes recalls one of the earliest lessons in his finance career. “I wanted to understand the business,” he tells us, describing his decision to ride along with a Waste Management truck crew. Clipboard in hand, he meticulously recorded stop distances, tonnage collected, and time spent at each location. By the end of the week, he had compiled a customer-by-customer profitability analysis. The results were clear—routes with clustered stops were highly profitable, while distant, scattered pickups drained resources. When he shared his findings, leadership encouraged him to gather more data. The insights led to an initiative that incentivized sales teams to densify routes, improving efficiency and making Rhodes's business unit one of the most profitable in the region. The approach became a company-wide standard.This hands-on, data-driven mindset has shaped Rhodes's leadership across multiple CFO roles. After earning his MBA at Babson College—while working full-time and supporting a growing family—he stepped into his first CFO position at age 32. Since then, he has focused on transforming finance functions beyond traditional reporting, using analytics to guide resource allocation, operational efficiency, and revenue growth. Now at Extreme Networks, Rhodes applies these principles to simplify complex networking solutions and optimize recurring revenue streams. His career illustrates how finance leaders can drive strategy by immersing themselves in operations, leveraging data insights, and aligning financial decisions with long-term business value.

According to the Atlantic's Yoni Applebaum, America is STUCK - literally and otherwise. In his new book Stuck: How the Privileged and the Propertied Broke the Engine of American Opportunity. Appelbaum argues that America faces not just a housing crisis but a mobility crisis, with prohibitively expensive housing in prosperous areas preventing people from moving toward opportunity. Applebaum traces how zoning laws, initially driven by racism and classism, have created a system where Americans move less than ever before, despite more wanting to relocate. This decreased mobility has wide-ranging consequences for civic engagement, social cohesion, and economic dynamism. His solution: simplify building regulations, reform housing policy to facilitate mobility, and dramatically increase housing supply.Here are the 5 KEEN ON take-aways from our conversation with Appelbaum:* America faces a mobility crisis, not just a housing crisis: People can't afford to move to areas with economic opportunity, which has dramatically reduced the rate of Americans relocating (from 1 in 3 annually in the 19th century to 1 in 13 today).* Restrictive zoning laws have racist and classist origins: America's first zoning laws were designed to segregate Chinese residents in Modesto, and Berkeley's first single-family zoning aimed to keep out working-class people.* Decreased mobility has widespread negative effects: Beyond economics, reduced mobility damages civic engagement, social cohesion, and even contributes to political polarization and populism.* Tenements served a positive historical purpose: Despite reformers' criticism, tenements were vehicles for economic mobility that allowed cities to absorb immigrant waves - a capacity many cities have lost.* Applebaum offers three solutions: Simplify building regulations, redesign housing policy to facilitate movement rather than keeping people in place, and dramatically increase housing supply ("build baby build").Yoni Appelbaum is a deputy executive editor at The Atlantic and the author of Stuck: How the Privileged and the Propertied Broke the Engine of American Opportunity.

For more than a century, window cleaning for skyscrapers has been a dangerous, labor-intensive job. Skyline Robotics is changing that.In this episode of Building Better, Ross Blum, President and COO of Skyline Robotics, discusses how their flagship robotic system, Ozmo, is transforming facade maintenance through automation. Ozmo cleans windows three times faster than traditional methods, reduces risk for human workers, and creates new opportunities in the industry.The conversation explores the challenges of implementing robotics in an established industry, how trust is built with stakeholders, and the role of human labor in automation. Ross also shares insights into privacy concerns, cost drivers, and the technical complexities of working with outdoor robotics.About Building Better:Building Better with Brandon Bartneck focuses on the people, products, and companies creating a better tomorrow, often in the transportation and manufacturing sectors. Previously called the Future of Mobility podcast, the show features real, human conversations exploring what leaders and innovators are doing, why and how they're doing it, and what we can learn from their experiences. Topics include manufacturing, production, assembly, autonomous driving, electric vehicles, hydrogen and fuel cells, leadership, and more.About Skyline Robotics:Skyline Robotics is a deep tech robotics and automation company bringing robotics to facade maintenance. Its flagship product, Ozmo, is the world's first high-rise window cleaning robot, offering a safer, faster, and more effective alternative to human window washers. With artificial intelligence, computer vision, and machine learning, Ozmo is disrupting the $40B window cleaning industry. While Ozmo automates the physical task, human operators remain an integral part of the process, overseeing operations and ensuring efficiency.Key Takeaways: Skyline Robotics is revolutionizing window cleaning through automation. The company's mission is to own the facade, extending beyond just cleaning. Automation presents major opportunities in outdoor environments. Trust-building is critical for successful implementation of robotics. Privacy concerns must be addressed when using data collection technologies. The cost of window cleaning is influenced by labor, weather, and regulations. Human labor still plays a role in the automation process. Transparency and humility are key in building client relationships. Technical challenges include adapting to various building designs and conditions. Data analysis can enhance building maintenance and efficiency.Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Skyline Robotics 05:52 The Importance of Facade Maintenance 08:47 Cost Drivers in Window Cleaning 11:34 Automation and Labor Dynamics 14:58 Privacy Concerns and Data Management 17:49 Facade Management Opportunities 20:44 Technical Challenges in Robotic Cleaning 23:41 Building Trust in Automation 26:48 The Journey of Innovation 29:54 Conclusion and Key Takeaways 46:17 The Complexity of Window Cleaning Automation 48:40 Building Trust in Automation IndustriesAbout the Guest:Ross Blum is the President and COO of Skyline Robotics, leading operations across Israel and the USA.

Garrett Goggin Talks Tariffs, Gold, Explorers, and Royalty Plays to beat the market   February 11, 2025 Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering mining and metals stocks releases a new episode of the  Exploring Mining Podcast . Host Cali Van Zant talks to Garrett Goggin, CFA and Founder of the Golden Portfolio about what's going on with gold, US policies, royalties, and explorers versus developers Sign up for Garrett's free "Secrets of a Mining Analyst Master class" here: https://goldenportfolio.com/subscribe/?utm_source=CVZOverview: Garrett discusses the recent surge in gold prices, attributing it to factors such as China's shift from investing in US dollars to gold, the potential for the US to monetize its gold reserves, and the increasing interest in gold as a monetary asset.   Cali asks about the possibility of returning to a gold standard, to which Garrett responds that while it's unlikely, a standard of measure is necessary for currency systems. He also shares his observations on investor sentiment and the shares outstanding for gold ETFs, indicating that gold is not yet at a peak.   Garrett discusses the advantages of investing in royalties over mining companies. He highlights that royalties offer stable returns, as they are locked in contracts that do not change over the life of a mine, unlike mining companies whose costs escalate with the gold price. He also points out that royalties have lower overheads and offer free exploration upside.   Garrett talks about the undervaluation of gold exploration companies and the potential for a significant increase in their value when the market recognizes their worth. He also mentions the potential for institutional investors to return to the gold sector due to its performance.   He also notes the speculative nature of Bitcoin and the potential for its investors to return to gold-backed assets.   About Garrett Goggin   I've traveled the world in search of gold and silver. I've visited many mines and talked with the people that run them. I worked with investment research powerhouse Gold Stock Analyst along with Stansberry Research for over 15 years as a precious metals analyst. I've keynoted many of the world's preeminent Gold Conferences including the Prospectors Developers Annual Convention (“PDAC”) in Toronto, the Denver Gold Show Europe in Zurich, and Deutsche Goldmesse in Frankfurt, Germany. I'm sought after by many leading gold & silver developers because they respect my research and seek my coverage. I'm a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Charterholder. The CFA charter is the gold standard in the investment business. With over four years of study, and an overall completion rate of about 10%, there are less than 200K total charterholders worldwide.

Felix Kloman, four year basketball player at Brown University, joins this week's episode of @Notevend2 . Felix was a standout player in high school playing for Pingree School in Massachusetts. Out of high school Felix had few Division 1 offers, but coach Mike Martin and his staff offered Kloman late in his senior year of high school. Felix committed to play for Brown University going into the 2020-21 season; unfortunately his first season was cancelled due to the Covid pandemic. Kloman played in limited minutes for his next two college seasons following his freshman year, until senior year when he started 18 games during one of Brown's best seasons under coach Martin. With one year of eligibility left, Felix entered the transfer portal. After hearing from schools at all three divisions, Kloman committed to play for Babson College. The grad student is off to a great start of the season averaging an efficient 18.8 ppg. Babson will be in contention for an NCAA tournament appearance due to the addition of Kloman. Hear about Felix's favorite memories during his basketball career, what it was like playing in the Ivy League, and his goals for the rest of the 2024-25 season. This episode is available wherever you listen to podcasts. Make sure to subscribe to the podcasts YouTube channel @Notevend2 for more sports content. Enjoy the episode!

Timestamps: 3:26 - Getting an MBA or building a startup? 8:44 - Guy's irrational love for Apple 14:05 - Giving startups advice in exchange for stocks 22:00 - What makes a remarkable person? About Guy Kawasaki: Guy Kawasaki is the chief evangelist of Canva and the creator of the Remarkable People podcast. He is an executive fellow of the Haas School of Business (UC Berkeley), and adjunct professor of the University of New South Wales. He was the chief evangelist of Apple and a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation. He has written Wise Guy, The Art of the Start 2.0, The Art of Social Media, Enchantment, and eleven other books. Kawasaki has a BA from Stanford University, an MBA from UCLA, and an honorary doctorate from Babson College. During his chat with Silvan, Guy recalled his “religious experience” witnessing Mac products at work for the first time, explained why he thinks MBAs may be a hindrance to your entrepreneurial success, and also reflected on why becoming remarkable means giving up a work-life balance. On his podcast, Remarkable People, he's interviewed the likes of Tim Ferriss, Gary V, Jane Goodall and Neil Degrasse Tyson. He makes no advertising money on his podcast and in fact spends 1-2K on producing each episode, but is glad to do so: there's no other hobby that could bring him as much joy as this one (except, perhaps, surfing).

With technology touching so many different parts of the business, companies have created so many different “Chief” officers that it now causes confusion about who is responsible for the technology vision. Would a new “Super Chief” role solve this confusion? John Spens from Thoughtworks and Thomas Davenport from Babson College, join the show to discuss this new IT organizational structure.

Kirsch started his college career in California where he attended Claremont-Mudd Scripps. After four years of basketball playing for the Stags, he transferred to Babson College. A successful college career opened opportunities for Mitchell to play professionally overseas in Columbia. A short overseas career led Mitch to get into the player development field. His evidence based trainings became the lead method in the state of New Hampshire. Mitchell now trains players at all levels, including NBA players like Duncan Robinson, Terrance Mann, and Georges Niang.Hear about Kirsch's career getting into player development, what made him adapt the constraint-led approach, and how it feels having changed the New Hampshire hoop scene.

— Women's wellness emphasizes maintaining the pelvic floor muscles as a key component of a healthy lifestyle. Pelvic floor function contributes to proper organ support, core strength, and sex satisfaction when it functions properly. The weakness of the pelvic muscles can cause incontinence, muscle and nerve pain, and organ prolapse in women. The underlying cause of pelvic floor dysfunction should be explored by pelvic floor physical therapists if women experience health issues related to it. Occasionally, a pelvic floor isn't weak, but it doesn't know how to relax. It is possible to achieve the desired results through physical therapy or targeted exercise routines. As women get older, pelvic floor problems often arise, but they don't have to result in issues that reduce quality of life. By taking preventive measures or addressing problems as they arise, women can reduce the effects of muscle weakness and maintain optimal pelvic floor health. Valeria interviews Gloria Kolb — She is the CEO and co-founder of Elitone®, an FDA-cleared, non-invasive wearable treatment for women with urinary incontinence. As an inventor with 30 patents, Gloria's accolades include Best New Product of 2019 by My Face My Body awards, Sling Shot 2020, and a top 10 finalist in Google's Women Startup Challenge. Gloria has also been featured in Forbes as a Top Scientist Driving Innovation in Women's Health. Her creative designs and problem-solving abilities have earned her recognition, such as Boston's “40 Under 40” Award and MIT Review's “World's Top Innovators under 35”. With Mechanical Engineering degrees from MIT and Stanford and an Entrepreneurship MBA from Babson College, Gloria's expertise extends to consulting, where she evaluates technology and clinical markets for various inventions and startups.

Of course, you know what a tank top is – but do you know why it is called a tank top? A tee-shirt looks like the letter T. But a tank top doesn't look like a tank. So where did the name come from? Listen as I start this episode with the explanation that goes back to the 1920s. https://undersummers.com/blogs/undersummers-about-us/the-history-of-the-tank-top-why-is-it-called-a-tank-top We have all likely felt a sexual attraction to someone. When you see that person across the room at a party and you can't take your eyes off him or her – that is sexual attraction. It is very different from other kinds of human attraction, like being attracted to someone as a friend or someone you want to work with. True sexual attraction is based solely on a person's appearance. It is a universal yet very individualized pull towards someone else and it can be very powerful. Joining me to discuss the science of this little known human experience is James Giles. He is lecturer at the University of Cambridge Institute for Continuing Education and is well known for his writings on philosophical psychology and human relationships. He is author of the book, Sexual Attraction: The Psychology of Allure (https://amzn.to/4bY2Jmk). The whole world of work has changed a lot in the last several years. Today, people don't stay in one job or even in one career like they used to. Additionally, people are questioning their work and asking themselves, “Is this really what I want to be doing?” It also seems people are looking to find more meaning in their work, not just a paycheck. To help understand why things have changed and how best to navigate these changes is Jennifer Tosti-Kharas . She is a professor of management at Babson College and author of the book Is Your Work Worth It?: How to Think About Meaningful Work (https://amzn.to/3VnFf2V) It is a mystery that has confounded people since the invention of laundry: Why does one sock go missing and where does it go?
