What happens when an unexpected “yes” leads you somewhere you never imagined? In this episode of Now and Then Again, Wendy VanderWal Martin sits down with Sharon Ramsey, newly appointed Chair of the Henri Nouwen Society, for a deeply personal conversation about calling, uncertainty, leadership—and what it means to know that you are beloved. Why does Nouwen's message feel so urgent in an age of loneliness, polarization, distraction, and constant change? And what might it look like to carry his legacy forward—not by putting him on a pedestal, but by living into the deeper invitation of his life? Sharon and Wendy explore the difference between solitude and loneliness, the life-changing experience of being truly seen and heard, and the courage it takes to move from certainty to discernment. At a time when so much pulls us toward fear, achievement, and doing more, this conversation asks a different question: What if the deeper calling is simply to become more present—to God, to ourselves, to one another, and to the world? Come listen to a conversation about saying yes, embracing the unknown, and discovering what it means to live from belovedness. ___________ SUPPORT THIS PODCAST: ⁠henrinouwen.org/donate/⁠ * SIGN UP FOR FREE DAILY E-MEDITATIONS: ⁠henrinouwen.org/meditation/⁠ * MORE FREE RESOURCES: henrinouwen.org/ * FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: INSTAGRAM: ⁠www.instagram.com/henrinouwensociety/⁠ FACEBOOK: ⁠www.facebook.com/nouwensociety/⁠

The popular Piha campground has been closed down by Auckland Council, with no indication of when it will reopen ahead of the summer season. The campground has been popular with Kiwi travellers for over 26 years, and it's unclear if it will be up and running in time for Labour weekend. Waitākere Ranges Local Board chair Mark Allen says they received new information about possible flooding risks, and extra work had to be undertaken. "We decided we needed to do some work on it, just to make sure everything was good... the position is, we want it to reopen it for the summer, while we do further work."

Send us Fan MailWhat should a nonprofit do after receiving a massive unrestricted gift?This is a rare look at what happens after the transformational check arrives. JobsFirstNYC President and CEO Marjorie Parker shares what happened after a surprise $4 million investment connected to MacKenzie Scott.  Learn why receiving transformational money can create as many strategic decisions as opportunities.The story begins with an unexpected message from someone representing an unnamed investor. After significant due diligence and roughly two months of conversations, Parker learned JobsFirstNYC would receive $4 million . . . “unrestricted”.  That word mattered!The gift gave the organization flexibility to strengthen operations, support longtime partners, develop internal capacity, rethink growth, and build a new five-year strategy. But Parker and her board did not simply begin spending.They asked harder questions: What should be invested? What should be preserved? Where could the organization expand responsibly? How should employees, partners, funders, and the community hear about the gift?  “Growth actually requires sustained capital,” Parker explains.  That became especially important because a transformational gift can create an unexpected fundraising problem: other donors may assume the organization no longer needs them. Parker describes one funder who postponed support for a year after seeing the size of the gift,  while other new investors and communities discovered JobsFirstNYC because of it.The investment also helped JobsFirstNYC build a five-year growth strategy that supported expansion beyond New York into northeastern Pennsylvania and southern Nevada.The conversation also puts the organization's mission into perspective. Parker discusses millions of young Americans ages 18–24 who remain disconnected from work or education and why changing labor markets make economic mobility increasingly urgent.Key Takeaways:Treat unrestricted capital as organizational trust, not permission to spend quickly.Give the board time to establish investment, spending, and governance priorities.Communicate internally so staff understand how major new resources will be used.Use flexible capital to strengthen operations and strategic capacity, not simply add programs.Major public gifts may attract new funders while causing existing donors to temporarily step back.Growth still requires sustained capital; one extraordinary gift does not eliminate future fundraising.00:00:00 The $4 Million Nonprofit Story 00:02:23 JobsFirstNYC and America's Future Workforce 00:04:29 How the Surprise Funder Contact Happened 00:07:08 The $4 Million Reveal 00:09:24 Confidentiality and the Board Chair 00:11:21 Why Unrestricted Funding Means Trust 00:13:54 The Board Asks: How Do We Use $4 Million? 00:17:27 Can a Huge Gift Hurt Future Fundraising? 00:20:36 Saying Yes — and No — to Growth 00:23:27 Marjorie's Advice for Nonprofit Leaders 00:26:06 Reporting When the Funder Requires None 00:27:28 Stewarding Transformational Capital Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us  Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits!  12:30pm ET   11:30am CT  10:30am MT  9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Storytelling is not just about producing content. It is about helping people understand your mission, care about your work and become part of your story. Peter Murphy Lewis, board chair of the Miami County Community Foundation and a fractional chief marketing officer, joins the podcast to discuss how nonprofits can use storytelling and digital marketing to expand their reach. He shares how his foundation built a stronger digital presence, engaged board members in amplifying its content and hired an executive director to provide the organization with the attention it needed. Peter also explains why nonprofits should begin with a clear objective before choosing a story, messenger or distribution platform, and how tools such as video, social media and Google Ad Grants can help organizations connect with new supporters.

Derek Champagne talks with the Godfather of reissue culture, Richard Foos. Richard Foos launched his entertainment career shortly after college in a small storefront on Santa Monica Boulevard. What began as a quirky record store evolved into Rhino Records, one of the most respected reissue labels in the world. It became a hub for collectors, and in 1978, he and his partner, Harold Bronson, launched the label. The Rhino team is credited with inventing “reissue culture,” which in the aggregate has sold many hundreds of millions of records and CDs. In 1998, Rhino Entertainment Company was fully acquired by Time Warner. It became the catalogue development and marketing division of Warner Music Group, where it continues today, reissuing the great artists on Warner labels. Richard stayed with the company until 2002. In 2003, Richard and his two partners, Bob Emmer and Garson Foos, launched Shout! Factory, shifting the focus toward TV and film. Shout! Studios is now a part of Radial Entertainment, where Richard serves as a consultant for the company. Beyond business, Richard is also known for his social activism. Foos currently serves as Board Chair of both TheNarrative Method and Volunteer Collective. He also serves on the Board of Governors of Cedars Sinai, and on the boards of Pico Union Project, Inc., Brave New Films, College Match LA, and Hoover Intergenerational Care, which he co-founded in 1976. Richard is married to therapist Shari Foos, who is the founder of The Narrative Method.Visit Radial EntertainmentBusiness Leadership Series Intro and Outro music provided by Just Off Turner: https://music.apple.com/za/album/the-long-walk-back/268386576

Jaap Winter, Chair of the Supervisory Board of Royal Schiphol Group, Partner at Phyleon Leadership & Governance, and Visiting Professor of Corporate Governance at INSEAD, explores how boards can move sustainability from an obligation to a source of business renewal and competitive advantage. Drawing on his experience in corporate governance, leadership and business transformation, he examines the value—and limits—of compliance, why sustainability needs to move from backward-looking reporting to a forward-looking business conversation, how boards can discover new opportunities, and why sustainability needs to become part of core strategy and decision-making rather than remain a parallel ESG agenda. The key takeaway: sustainability becomes strategically powerful when boards move beyond asking whether the business is meeting its obligations and start asking how sustainability could shape what the business becomes next—creating new value, resilience and competitive advantage. This conversation is part of the nine-part series Beyond the Old Playbook, featured in the Exploring Leaders Podcast by Digoshen.Welcome to also read the related blog post: What If Sustainability Is Where the Next Business Begins?

Todays guest Herb Sargent was not always a man of faith. We look into his journey of entrepreneurship and how his values changed throughout his life, and even his company values.  You can listen to today's episode at www.corymcarlson.com/podcast   In this episode, you'll discover…  Key trait to win at home and at work (1:45) Healthy conflict. (6:15) Keeping your company curious to grow (15:30)  Why he hired a coach (19:45)   Herb's Bio:  My favorite part of the job is knowing that we are bringing value to not only our employee-owners but also our customers. I also really enjoy the fact that, due to our employee ownership plan, I'm working for and serving our employee-owners. We need to brush off the stigma that the construction industry is just some dead-end job when in actuality, it's not a dead-end job at all. It's one thing if you go to college and then work in construction, but there's a lot of stigma in our society associated with not going to college and working in construction. In reality, there are ample opportunities in this industry — and you might even say equivalent opportunities — whether you go to college or not. There are so many opportunities for advancement, and we need to do a better job of highlighting that. I like to spend my free time with my family — I'm married to Tristine and I have two adult children, James and Savannah, and a step-son, Colby. I love to be on the water. It doesn't need to be a big yacht or anything like that. Just get me in a boat on the water and I'm happy. I also like to cook. I'm all over the place in the kitchen. I have a pizza oven, so I like to do fire-roasted pizzas. I also enjoy smoking meat. Getting together and making a meal with friends and family is always fun for me.

Story of the Week (DR):Meta settles social media addiction case with California, other states for $16.7 billion MM5 Reasons to Be HappyAn $18 billion payout sets a historic legal precedent against Big Tech, directing billions in state funding toward youth mental health, counseling, and digital literacy programs.Instagram and Facebook must enforce default two-hour daily usage limits and completely block account activity between midnight and 6 a.m. for users under 18. Teens and parents gain the explicit right to disable addictive engagement algorithms in favor of a non-personalized, chronological feed.The settlement prohibits harmful beauty filters (such as cosmetic surgery simulators), hides "like" counts by default, and silences app notifications during school hours.Meta tied $5.3 billion of the payout to whether TikTok and YouTube adopt similar safety rules, forcing an industry-wide overhaul rather than penalizing just one app.5 Reasons to Be AngryPaid out over 10 years, the settlement amounts to roughly 10 days of Meta's annual profit, meaning Mark Zuckerberg's financial empire remains virtually unscathed.Meta's $17 billion child-safety settlement is the biggest tech payout ever—or 3x what it paid to acquihire a 28-year-old AI superstarTo put it in perspective, the $17.1 billion number is a little more than three times the roughly $5 billion personal stake that Alexandr Wang held in Scale AI, a data-labeling company that supplies the human-annotated training data AI models are built on. Last year, Meta paid $14.3 billion for a 49% stake in the company and brought in Wang to lead its AI efforts of its new Superintelligence Labs, reporting directly to Mark Zuckerberg.Meta legally denies all wrongdoing, dodging true legal accountability for intentionally engineering addictive, mentally harmful features.The agreement alters user interface features and screen time, but leaves Meta's underlying data-harvesting business model completely untouched.Critical safeguards—like switching off algorithmic feeds—are opt-in settings rather than permanent defaults, shifting enforcement onto parents.Meta only pays 70% ($12.7 billion) upfront; the remaining $5.3 billion is contingent on competitors settling on identical terms, giving Meta a potential financial discount if rivals refuse. Worst headline of the week: Meta's $17.1 billion settlement will be over 12-times larger than the second largest big tech privacy settlement in the past four yearsMeta's $18 billion settlement leaves out the child protections New Mexico already won at trial, its Attorney General says: including a direct ban on romantic and sexualized AI chatbot interactions with minors and stronger safeguards against adults targeting kids in private messagesMM: Settlement gapsAge assurance:Meta may elect to use one or more Proprietary Age Assurance Methods. In such event, Meta shall not benefit from the presumption of compliance set forth in Section II.A.3.a. Additionally, Meta will maintain continuous oversight of any Proprietary Age Assurance Method sufficient to ensure that the method is functioning as intended.Tax deductibleThe Settling States shall cause to be completed and timely filed a Form 1098-F with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that identifies not less than 50% of the amounts paid to the Settling States as compensatory restitution and remediation within the meaning of 26 U.S.C. § 162(f)(2)(A)THEY BUNDLED CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA INTO THE SETTLEMENT$459m of the $17bn is the “Cambridge payout” - they can now put that behind them tooIs there a reason not to literally take Meta all the way? Why settle at all! Midterm elections? TAKE EVERYTHING! Meanwhile, while you settle this: Meta's creepy smart glasses are part of a much bigger plan“At the same time, Meta is using the content generated across its ecosystem to support Mark Zuckerberg's vision of a pervasive, AI-driven future. Zuckerberg's 2026 manifesto describes a world where personal AI agents will do your bidding. But building those systems requires more than conventional AI models. It also requires enormous amounts of data about human behavior, much of it generated and shared through Instagram, Facebook, and other Meta apps, or captured through hardware such as phones, smart glasses, and EMG Neural Band devices.”“We become “algorithm chow,” feeding the models intended to realize Zuckerberg's vision.”'We Know We Got This Wrong': Target Apologises and Pulls 'Offensive' Halloween Costume After Racist BacklashAn apology from us: We pulled an offensive Halloween costume that should never have been part of our assortment. It is no longer for sale. As a company, we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry. We know this is especially hurtful for our Black guests, team members and partners. Removing the costume is an important first step, and the company is looking closely at how this happened and what needs to change to ensure this won't happen again.Target Statement on Offensive Halloween Costume: As a company, we know we got this wrong, and we are deeply sorry. The costume is offensive and should never have been part of our assortment. It is no longer available for sale. We know this is especially hurtful for our Black guests, team members and partners. Removing the costume is an important first step, and the company is looking closely at how this happened and what needs to change to ensure this won't happen again.The statement comes directly from Target's Corporate Communications department speaking on behalf of the entire enterprise, rather than a single individual like the CEO or Board Chair. Corporate apologies are deliberately released without a human signature for several strategic and legal reasons:Legal Personhood: Legally under U.S. law, Target Corporation is treated as a single legal entity (often called "corporate personhood"). It can sign contracts, hold liability, and issue official statements as an institution rather than as individual people.Leaving executive names off the statement prevents media coverage from focusing on a specific person (e.g., "CEO Brian Cornell Apologizes"). It keeps the focus on the company's operational changes and prevents individual leaders from becoming personal lightning rods for public backlash.These statements are rarely drafted by an executive. They are heavily scrubbed by legal counsel, crisis PR managers, and corporate strategy teams. Attaching a CEO's signature to a text engineered by a dozen lawyers and communications staff can actually feel less authentic internally.Phrasing the apology around "we" and "the company" establishes institutional accountability. It signals that the failure occurred in corporate vetting systems, not just from one bad decision-maker.In January 2025, Target Corporation announced the termination of its REACH initiative and restructuring of its Supplier Diversity program, marking one of the largest corporate DEI rollbacks in recent history. This decision has triggered public backlash, legal scrutiny, and investor uncertainty.Callaway Golf CEO apologizes after Good Good ad showing male golfer shoving woman sparks backlashCallaway Golf CEO Chip Brewer on Tuesday apologized for an advertisement that sparked an online backlash for its depiction of a male golfer shoving a female golfer to the ground when she attempts to use his driver."That approval should never have happened. Mistakes were made, and we are taking the matter very seriously," Brewer wrote on Tuesday. "I want to make it clear that we sincerely apologize for the video." Callaway released a statement Thursday explaining its reasoning behind ending the brand partnership: "Over the last several days, we have reflected deeply on the hurt and disappointment caused by the video we reposted. We heard from individuals who shared personal experiences related to violence against women, and their stories were powerful reminders that this issue touches the lives of far too many people. Unequivocally, violence against women is unacceptable and should never be trivialized, normalized, or used as entertainment.""In this instance, our content review process was not comprehensive enough …We have taken appropriate internal corrective actions and significantly strengthened our approval procedures to help ensure this does not happen again."The brand added that it would donate $1 million to organizations that aim to "prevent violence against women, provide resources to survivors, and advance education and awareness efforts."The online video ad, which was released online and has since been pulled, sparked criticism for depicting violence against women, while some consumers said they planned to stop buying products made by Callaway.Brewer said the ad, created by Good Good Golf, was released last week to promote a co-branded driver and had been approved by Callaway before the spot was posted online. The ad featured Good Good co-founder Garrett Clark telling Alexis Miestowski, a former Division I female golfer, in a menacing voice, "Do not touch my new driver," after he shoves her to the ground.Good Good is an American sports YouTube channel and company based in Frisco, Texas. Founded in 2020 by Garrett Clark, Stephen Castaneda, CEO Matt Kendrick, and Matt Scharff.Owner: Scoreboard ventures: co-founders Nahid Giga and Brian DickLead Investor: Creator Sports Capital — a firm co-founded by former YouTube executive Benjamin Grubbs and investment executive Brian Kabot.Good Good's CEO went nuclear on Callaway after the brand cut ties over an ad scandal"Interesting that @CallawayGolf asks us to make an ad then approves it then asks us to take the fall then drops us in a coordinated media blitz and covers it up by giving a million dollars away thinking everyone will be ok with it," Matt Kendrick wrote in a post on X.The ad fallout has had major repercussions for Good Good's business beyond the loss of its Callaway partnership. Dick's Sporting Goods yanked Good Good products from shelves, and the golf group pulled out as a title sponsor for a PGA Tour event in the fall. The reverberation has spread to the Golf Channel, which scrapped the upcoming season of its reality golf series "Big Break," whose grand prize was entry into the PGA Tour event that Good Good was supposed to have sponsored.FFA:14% have merit2 women!

Recently, Lorri and Becky welcomed a pair of dynamic women this month. They speak with Rebecca DeVooght and Sarah Hubbard who share leadership lessons from public policy, higher education and advocacy, and what it takes to lead boldly. Rebecca DeVooght: Rebecca is an experienced government relations professional with a career spanning nearly 25 years in various state and public sector positions. Prior to coming to Michigan State University, she represented the University of Michigan for 11 years as the Director of State Relations, focusing most of her time on state appropriations and on elevating research and academic freedom through strong collaborations with university academic and administrative units on the various intersections with state policy. Through her direct efforts, she was successful in securing base appropriation increases for the university as well as Capital Outlay support for such purposes as University of Michigan's School of Dentistry, a joint project between the College of Engineering and School of Information as well as other critical research projects. She has successfully worked to enhance campus engagement and collaboration with a wide range of government and non-government organizations beyond higher education. Show notes: Lorri and Becky sat down with Rebecca DeVooght, Vice President of Government Relations at Michigan State University. In the first segment, Rebecca dives into how she grew up with two parents who worked in social work and how that led to where she took her career, being very motivated from a young age. Sarah Hubbard: Principal, Acuitas | Regent, University of Michigan With more than 25 years of experience at the intersection of government relations, public affairs, and higher education governance, Sarah L. Hubbard is a proven leader in navigating complex policy environments, fostering strategic partnerships, and driving organizational success. Sarah currently serves as Principal and Co-Owner of Acuitas, a Lansing-based government relations and business development consulting firm. In this role, she works with clients ranging from small nonprofits to Fortune 500 companies, providing expert guidance on advocacy strategies, political engagement, and relationship building. Her deep connections with Michigan's highest-ranking officials — including the governor, legislature, congressional delegation, and municipal leaders — have helped deliver results to her clients. In addition to her private sector work, Sarah was elected to the University of Michigan Board of Regents in 2020. As a Regent, she has played a pivotal role in overseeing the university's $15 billion budget and $20 billion endowment. She has served as Board Chair, Chair of the Finance, Audit, and Investment Committee, and Co-Chair of the Presidential Search Committee, demonstrating her ability to lead through complex governance and financial challenges. Sarah has also provided critical strategic input during crises, including cyberattacks, campus safety incidents, and high-profile protests, often serving as a spokesperson to local and national media. Her experience extends to guiding the university's health system — now larger than its academic units — through risk assessment and long-term capital planning. Sarah's earlier career includes 17 years at the Detroit Regional Chamber, where she served as Senior Vice President of Government Relations. In this capacity, she was the Chamber's primary liaison to policymakers at all levels, representing the interests of 23,000 member organizations. She worked closely with Michigan's largest corporate leaders to advance shared advocacy goals and served as management's voice in the Chamber boardroom. Sarah earned an MBA from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business, a Master of Public Administration from Western Michigan University, and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Michigan.

The WI State Fair is always about celebration, but this year it really has many components to celebrate. John Yingling, current chair of the WI State Fair Park Board, will be retiring this October. That makes this years fair a little bittersweet. Pam Jahnke talks with Yingling about his beginning with the fair board, and what he's proud of today. Especially as they stand in front of a freshly remodeled Dairy Building. The major remodel was funded entirely by state fair park funds. Something that couldn't have been said when Yingling first joined the board.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailHousing can feel like the one problem no small community can solve, especially when the town is growing, prices are climbing, and every public meeting feels personal. We sit down with Tiffany Watson, executive director of Gilmer County Family Connection in Ellijay, Georgia, to unpack how a local coalition took on workforce housing and stayed the course long enough to see 50 new apartments become real homes.Tiffany walks us through the play-by-play: the steady drumbeat of calls from families who cannot find a long-term rental, the way short-term rentals reshaped the local housing stock, and the “everyone knows everyone” dynamics that make change feel risky. We get specific about what worked including building a cross-sector stakeholder table, applying to the University of Georgia's Georgia Initiative for Community Housing (GICH), using a housing study and community survey to ground the work in data, and choosing language like “workforce housing” to reduce stigma and keep the conversation focused on local needs.You'll also hear the hard parts leaders rarely say out loud: getting shouted down at zoning meetings, facing misinformation, and deciding whether the stress is worth it. Tiffany shares what kept her going, how they educated the public with simple Q&A materials and civic group talks, and what success looks like now that the Overlook at Ellijay is opening with a leasing process built to follow fair housing rules while serving the local workforce.If you care about housing affordability, rural community development, coalition leadership, and practical strategies that actually move the needle, this one is for you. Subscribe, share this with a fellow community leader, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway so more people can find the show.Tiffany Watson – BioTiffany Watson has deep roots in Ellijay, Georgia, and proudly calls the community home. She graduated from Gilmer High School and went on to earn her Bachelor of Arts in Communication from Reinhardt University in 2002, graduating Cum Laude.Tiffany serves as the Executive Director of Gilmer County Family Connection, where she works alongside community partners to support children and families across Gilmer County. Her work focuses on bringing people together, strengthening local resources, and helping families access the support they need. She is also involved in regional initiatives, including Building a Region of Resilience (BRR), supporting efforts that promote stability and resilience across the community.In addition to her nonprofit leadership, Tiffany has served in various community and service roles. She became Treasurer of the Present Hope Ministry Board in 2014, supporting efforts that provide education and food to children in Haiti. Tiffany served as Board Chair of the Gilmer County Chamber of Commerce in 2023 and as Chair of the Georgia Apple Festival in 2024. She presently serves on the Gilmer County Department of Family and Children's Services Board and has been actively involved in the Gilmer Initiative for Community Housing (GICH), where she serves as Chair, helping lead local efforts to expand housing opportunities and strengthen community development.Tiffany considers her most important role to be that of a mother to her three sons.

Barak Bussel is one of the few people operating simultaneously at three levels of the quantum stack: deploying private capital into hardware and software companies through 7i Capital, chairing the strategic board of a major university quantum center, and helping stand up the physical infrastructure — a 700,000 square foot research park on the site of the former Westside Pavilion — meant to convene academia, industry, national labs, and startups in one place. He is also a physicist by training, which changes the kind of diligence questions he asks.We recorded this at the KPMG Tech and Innovation Symposium in Deer Valley, only weeks after the most consequential stretch of quantum news in years: Oratomic's $300M Series A (the largest first institutional round in quantum history, with 7i in the syndicate), a Google Quantum AI paper cutting Shor's algorithm resource estimates to around 500,000 physical qubits on superconducting hardware, and two June 2026 White House executive orders on quantum innovation and post-quantum cryptography. If you want to understand how a serious investor is actually pricing risk, timelines, and ecosystem-building in this moment, this is the conversation.What We Get IntoWhy 7i backed Oratomic's aggressive "no intermediate product, straight to fault tolerance" strategy, and how Barak thinks about betting on teams versus theses in deep techHow recent architecture and QLDPC error correction advances have compressed physical-to-logical qubit ratios, and what that means for near-term resource estimates for Shor's algorithmWhy a lesser-noticed April 2026 Google Quantum AI paper on quantum-assisted memory reduction for classical AI workloads may matter as much as the Shor's-focused headlinesWhat "patient capital" actually looks like when a connector problem eats two years of a portfolio company's roadmapThe Bell Labs template as a serious operating model for the UCLA Research Park: convening academia, industry, government, and startups in a single physical footprintThe historical resonance of UCLA sending the first ARPANET packet in 1969 and what that suggests about where quantum networking work should be anchoredHow Kedma's error mitigation work with IBM's Heron II and RIKEN pushed a 51-qubit Ising model simulation to the edge of what's classically tractableHow Barak reads the June 2026 executive orders and the federal role — enabling infrastructure rather than picking winners — against the scale of Chinese government fundingResources & LinksGuest & OrganizationsBarak Bussel bio — UCLA CQSE Strategic Board — Official page covering Barak's role as Board Chair and his physics and venture background.7i Capital — Barak's deep tech venture firm, investing across quantum, AI, semiconductors, cybersecurity, robotics, clean energy, and space.UCLA Center for Quantum Science and Engineering (CQSE) — The multidisciplinary center Barak chairs, spanning physics and engineering research.Barak Bussel on LinkedIn — Where Barak has publicly flagged the Oratomic investment and the June 2026 executive orders.The Oratomic Round and Recent BreakthroughsOratomic raises $300M Series A — The Quantum Insider — Confirms 7i Capital in the syndicate for the largest-ever first institutional round in quantum computing.Oratomic Series A deep dive — Quantum Computing Report — Technical breakdown of the reconfigurable neutral-atom architecture and full investor syndicate.Oratomic's "no intermediate product" strategy — MLQ.ai — Analysis of Oratomic's bet against the QuEra/Pasqal early-revenue playbook.QEDMA raises $26M Series A — Quantum Zeitgeist — 7i portfolio company Kedma's error mitigation round with IBM participation, referenced in Barak's Ising model results.Policy and Market ContextWhite House EO: "Ushering in the Next Frontier of Quantum Innovation" — One of the two June 22, 2026 executive orders Barak discusses.Sidley Austin analysis of the June 2026 quantum EOs — Legal explainer covering both the innovation EO and the post-quantum cryptography mandate.Cloudflare on the accelerated post-quantum timeline — Notes that Q-Day estimates have moved in response to Google and Oratomic breakthroughs.PitchBook Q2 2026 Quantum Computing Funding Report — Record 2025 VC totals and Q1 2026 liquidity data relevant to Barak's exit thesis.UCLA Research Park and Regional EcosystemUCLA launches SoCal Quantum Alliance — The regional coalition Barak references, with founding members including Caltech, JPL, Boeing, IBM, and Cisco.Quantum Innovation Hub at the UCLA Research Park — Preview of the 40,000 square foot lab space and the broader research park vision Barak describes.Quantum Innovation Hub Director appointment — Prof. Jason Petta named to lead the QIH, one of the founding anchors of the research park.Key Quotes & InsightsOn patient capital in hardware: "You're producing a new chip… all of a sudden a year and a half has passed." Barak's example of a photonics company that spent two years solving a flex connector problem is a useful ground truth for anyone modeling quantum hardware timelines.On the role of universities: Industry has scale — the ability to throw 500 engineers at a problem. Academia brings "the quiet depth to think very deeply about a problem over an extended period of time, two or three generations ahead."On resource estimates: The gap between the original 20-million-qubit Shor's estimates and the recent Google Quantum AI paper suggesting ~500,000 physical qubits on superconducting hardware, plus Oratomic's neutral-atom approach at the ten-thousand-qubit scale, represents a genuine compression of the fault-tolerance horizon.On the underappreciated Google paper: An April 8 paper on using quantum processors to reduce memory requirements for massive classical data sets is, in Barak's view, the first rigorous demonstration that quantum could bend the exponential curve of AI compute demand.On government's role: "Typically in the U.S., government is not the best at picking the winners and losers in the marketplace. But it's great at enabling." The El Segund...

Jay Steinfeld is the founder of Blinds.com, the company he built from a $1,500 startup into the world's largest online retailer of window coverings before selling it to Home Depot in 2014. Unlike most founders, Jay chose to remain after the acquisition, spending six years leading the integration of Blinds.com into one of the world's largest retailers while serving on Home Depot's Online Leadership Team. That uncommon journey gave him a unique perspective on entrepreneurship, enterprise leadership, organizational culture, and innovation at scale. Jay is also the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Lead from the Core: The 4 Principles for Profit and Prosperity. Today he serves as Board Chair of Datavations, advises companies including Mado Dynamic and PreFix, supports entrepreneurship through the Herb Kelleher Entrepreneurship Center, and contributes to organizations such as XPRIZE and Hand in Hand. In this conversation, we explore why the acquisition isn't the end of the entrepreneurial journey, what founders can learn from staying after the sale, how innovation survives inside large organizations, and why leadership after success may be the most important chapter of all.G.

School officials discuss importance of funding via property taxes and concerns over reform efforts In May, only about one in three school levies in Ohio were approved in the primary, compared to the year previous when almost 2/3rds of levies were approved, causing some districts to wonder whether, among growing calls to reform or even abolish property taxes, voters are tiring of funding public education via tax hikes at the ballot box. But most public schools rely on these levies and property taxes to fund essential services from salaries to building maintenance to future improvements. Today, as our Ideastream Explores: Property Taxes series continues, we'll hear from local school leaders, a tax researcher and our education reporter, about the role property taxes play in funding Ohio's schools and what it could mean if they are reduced via reform. We'll also talk about the movement hoping to end property taxes entirely.

The store reported that it lost $18 million over the 11 years it was open. That closure means that Constantino's Market, which has been operating in the Warehouse District for just over 20 years, will be the sole grocery store serving Downtown residents. The closure raises bigger questions about the profitability of grocery stores, how much of a population is required to keep a store afloat and the overall changing habits of shoppers. That's the focus of this week's installment of "The Menu," Ideastream's series produced with Cleveland Magazine, focusing on the region's food scene.

Netball New Zealand has quietly changed Silver Fern eligibility rules to allow them to play overseas without it affecting their ability to play for the national team. Netball New Zealand board chair Alastair Carruthers spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss from Glasgow.

Despite attracting its biggest television audience in years, the ANZ Premiership is set to record a significant loss of around $3.7 million in 2026, casting further doubt over the future of New Zealand's domestic netball competition. Netball New Zealand board chair Alastair Carruthers said the shortfall would be covered by the organisation's cash reserves, but warned that approach could not continue. Speaking on Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking Breakfast, Carruthers admitted the loss would be hard to cover, adding that the overall deficit for Netball New Zealand would be far greater. “It's going to be hard to cover,” Carruthers said. “We do have reserves sufficient to deal with it this year. “The board last year, when committing to the third year of this this premiership, knew that it had reserves that that would cover the loss, but [the loss] is bigger than we expected. “I think it's important to note that also this year Netball New Zealand in total is likely to run up a loss greater than $3.7m. It's going to be close to $6m. Reserves will cover this year. “I don't think next year is going to be easy to cover at that level from our reserves position, so we need to start redesigning our business and redesigning the way that this competition is played.” The loss is part of the fallout after it was revealed Netball New Zealand emailed coaches and staff at the Northern Stars, Mainland Tactix and Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic telling them their contracts cannot be extended at this stage. The three franchises are all run by Netball New Zealand, while the Northern Mystics, Central Pulse and Southern Steel are run by their respective netball zones. Carruthers is adamant the governing body remained committed to maintaining a strong domestic competition while ensuring the long-term health of the sport. With that in mind, Netball New Zealand has agreed to change the eligibility requirements for Silver Ferns selection, following discussions with the Players Association with an eye on the 2027 Netball World Cup. Players who choose to sign with overseas clubs will now remain eligible for Silver Ferns selection. The change takes effect immediately for the current selection cycle and will continue for the duration of any multi-year overseas contract. Netball NZ Board Chair Alastair Carruthers. Photo / Photosport “Any player is welcome to play anywhere in the world if they wish to and will still be eligible for selection for the for the Silver Ferns,” Carruthers said. “We did that because while there is uncertainty about what form of domestic competition we can offer at home, people need freedom of choice and the opportunity to keep working and the opportunity to keep playing at an elite level.” He said any future model would continue to prioritise a high-quality domestic competition, alongside supporting community netball. The big financial loss comes despite the ANZ Premiership attracting 1.05 million unique television viewers on TVNZ this season, excluding audiences who watched live or on demand via TVNZ. Figures obtained by the Herald show that represents a 16% increase on 2025 and a 64% increase since 2024. The average live television audience for an ANZ Premiership fixture was 51,800, a 32% increase on 2025 for the average number of people watching a game live on TV2. The grand final between the Northern Mystics and Southern Steel saw a 60% increase in viewership, with more than 120,000 New Zealanders watching live – the most ever. Before that, 82,159 viewers had tuned in for the elimination final, 25,742 more than last year. The overall average attendance for the ANZ Premiership is up 3.2%, following a 15% jump in 2024. In total, 70,236 fans attended games, including the finals. Social media presence has also increased with the official ANZ Premiership pages (not including teams) having seen a 33% increase in followers, totalling 166,500. Carruthers expects discussions to continue with broadcasters for at least a few more months. Ben Francis is an Auckland-based reporter for the New Zealand Herald who covers breaking sports news.

More and more young Canadians want to play soccer after watching the 2026 FIFA World Cup. But is there enough room on the field for all of them? Soccer was already the fastest growing youth sport in the country, and local club organizers say interest has only grown since hosting the World Cup — and in some cases, resources were already stretched thin. We speak with two Canadians who organize local soccer clubs about how the World Cup is transforming their communities, and then take a look at the future of the sport on a national level with Mark Cohon, the Board Chair of the Northern Super League .

If a brand is no longer what a company says it is, but the sum of every experience a customer has, what does that mean for the marketing department's role in the organization?Agility requires more than just adapting to market changes; it demands a fundamental shift from broadcasting a message to engineering an experience. It requires a willingness to unlearn old definitions of brand and embrace a new reality where customer perception is the ultimate truth.Today, we're going to talk about what some are calling a "reformation" in branding. It's a move away from the traditional model of logos, slogans, and campaigns, and toward a new understanding where the brand is the cumulative effect of every single customer interaction. This shift has massive implications for organizational structure, strategy, and how we measure success.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Lou Carbone, Professor of Practice, Michigan State University & Founder/Chief Experience Officer at Experience Engineering.

In the second episode of The Black Christian Experience, we talk about one of the hardest things to maintain in our walk with God: the ability to be grounded. Being grounded can keep us rooted and steady in an unstable world. And with everything that we are facing in the world, healthy roots can keep us whole.  That's why today, we are speaking with the one and only, The Rev. Dr. Zina Jacque.  For over 20 years, Dr. Jacque worked in student affairs at institutions such as Northwestern, the University of Chicago, and the University of California, ultimately serving as Legislative Liaison to California's 108 community colleges. After answering a call to the ministry, she earned an M.Div. (Summa Cum Laude) and Ph.D. in Theology from Boston University and went on to serve churches of all sizes, including Alfred Street Baptist Church.  Dr. Jacque has taught at the University of Chicago Divinity School and Boston University School of Theology and led mission-driven organizations, including the Boston TenPoint Coalition and the Pastoral Counseling Center at Trinity Church Boston. She currently serves as President and Board Chair of National Senior Communities, supporting over 28,000 residents and 17,000 staff. She is also co-founder of Courageous Conversations, a national dialogue series on belonging and inclusion.  A recipient of the Distinguished Alumni Award from BU, Citizen of the Year in Barrington, and the Women of Distinction Award, Dr. Jacque is widely regarded as a voice of grace, wisdom, and hope.  She is one of a kind and she blessed us in this episode!

Connection is your greatest multiplier—if you know how to build it right. Enjoy my conversation with David Homan, CEO of Orchestrated Connecting. 3 takeaways: Connection is built, not found. It starts with curiosity, vulnerability, and showing up consistently. Give first—without keeping score. The best relationships aren't transactional… they're intentional. Gratitude compounds. A simple thank you can strengthen a relationship for a lifetime. Most people focus on outcomes. The best focus on people. --- A "Connector of Connectors:" David Homan connects people. His primary skill in life is learning about people, helping them reframe and pitch themselves better, and then creating long-lasting relationships based on the premise that for everyone for whom he connects the dots, they would be described as an action oriented, natural giver with high integrity. His book, Orchestrating Connection, published in 2025 is a USA Best-Seller, and his community of over 2300 global "superconnectors" represents family offices, venture capitalists, impact investors, entertainers, athletes, CEOs/Founders, community organizers, and a myriad of other incredible "occupations" that do little to describe how amazing each individual in this community of communities is. He launched his tech company, SOAR Connect in July 2024 and will be bringing out of beta to change the way we build relationships at scale with trust. How David got here: As a prior non-profit CEO, David raised millions for the arts while running a multi-national, multi-million dollar Foundation that survived near total destruction due to Bernie Madoff, and incubated a social impact film company for the Dalio Family Office. His impact advisory firm, Orchestrated Opportunities, partners with family offices, start-ups, funds, and nonprofits to builds new, structured ecosystems of relationships to strategically scale and expand their growth. Focal areas include mental health, health and wellness, climate change, art, philanthropy, social justice, and investing in women, among others. David is a recognized classical composer whose music can be found by saying "Alexa–please play the music of David Homan" with 7 albums and radio play internationally. His latest project is a film/mini-series focused on a composer who loses his mind to Alzheimer's. He serves as an Advisor to NEXUS, the Catalyst Impact Foundation, Regeneration.VC, and as Board Chair of the Arthur Miller Foundation.

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, hosts Chuck Warren and Sam Stone bring listeners a special Fourth of July episode focused on America's founding principles, political hypocrisy, civic education, and a chilling unsolved Independence Day murder case. First, Sam Stone is joined by Jay Lapeyre, CEO of Laitram LLC, Board Chair of the Cato Institute and The Atlas Society, and a founding leader of the Free Society Coalition. Jay discusses the Declaration of Independence, the moral foundations of liberty, and why America's founding truths still matter today. He explains how the Declaration project grew out of a desire to move beyond partisan division by focusing on shared principles, civil discourse, human dignity, moral agency, and the pursuit of happiness. Sam and Jay also explore the Free Society Coalition's Declaration challenge, which encourages Americans to read, reflect on, and discuss the Declaration of Independence with family, friends, and neighbors. Next, Chuck Warren talks with Andrew Kerr, investigative reporter at The Washington Free Beacon, about his reporting on congressional financial disclosures and the wealth of politicians who campaign as working-class champions. Andrew explains how lawmakers can delay disclosures, why some still file in analog format, and what he found in Rep. Ro Khanna's financial records, including family interests tied to private golf clubs and wealth management. They also discuss Arizona Democrat Joanna Mendoza and questions raised after changes to her reported net worth. Follow Andrew Kerr  X: @AndrewKerrNC Then, Brenda Hafera, Assistant Director and Research Fellow in The Heritage Foundation's B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies, joins the show to discuss the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites. Brenda explains how the interactive guide evaluates historic sites across the country for accuracy, bias, and educational value ahead of America's 250th anniversary. She also breaks down the American Revolution, the Stamp Act, religious institutions, civic virtue, literacy, self-government, and why everyday Americans should return to primary source documents to better understand the country's founding. Explore the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites at the website below: historicsites.heritage.org Finally, B's Crime Corner closes the episode with a Fourth of July true crime story: the unsolved murders of Shane Stewart and Sally McNelly.

Recorded live at the AHIP 2026 Conference, Eric Glazer sits down with Dr. Hector de Leon, Board Chair of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Foundation and practicing pediatrician, for a conversation about one of healthcare's biggest challenges: Not discovering what works, but scaling what already does. For more than 80 years, Kaiser Permanente has built its care model around prevention, physician trust, integrated care, and long-term health outcomes. In this conversation, Dr. de Leon shares practical examples of how those principles come to life, and why Kaiser is increasingly partnering with organizations across the country to help scale those lessons beyond its own walls. In this episode: A patient story that brings value-based care to life Why physician trust, not prior authorization, can accelerate better care How Kaiser embeds prevention into everyday clinical workflows Making the "right thing" the easiest thing to do for patients and clinicians Why higher screening rates lead to better outcomes and lower costs The thinking behind Risant Health, Habitat Health, and Kaiser's growing partnerships Why collaboration, not competition, may be the future of healthcare transformation What health plans, providers, and innovators can learn from one of the nation's longest-running value-based care organizations If you're a healthcare executive looking for practical lessons on improving outcomes, reducing friction, and building a more sustainable healthcare system, you'll find plenty to think about in this conversation.

Plus, you'll discover real stories: a CEO who replaced hospital mattresses overnight, a leader who met all 242 staff members in his first 90 days, and how small gestures can define your leadership identity.

A New York mother is suing a hospital for the homicide of her disabled 28-year-old daughter, who was admitted with a mild cough and died 41 days later after being intubated, sedated, and given Remdesivir, Propofol, Precedex, and Fentanyl — despite never having a COVID-19 diagnosis. Rebecca Charles says her daughter Danielle arrived at Northwell Hospital in Glen Cove with normal vitals, normal oxygen, and no pneumonia, sepsis, or respiratory distress. Records the family later obtained showed she could have been monitored or sent home. Instead, she was admitted on August 27, 2021 and died on October 6, after the hospital billed roughly $650,000. Rebecca and Free Now Foundation's Alix Mayer lay out the documents, the drug protocol, and the litigation now moving forward with a team of attorneys. Plus: Eric Bolling on the 14-point US-Iran framework, the Strait of Hormuz, election security, and the midterms; and the hosts of the Wise Nuts podcast on the Iran deal, Lebanon, voter ID, and California's election fallout. Rebecca Charles is suing a New York hospital for homicide in the death of her disabled 28-year-old daughter, Danielle, who died over 41 days, killed allegedly by narcotics and other medications “during COVID” although she did not have a diagnosis of COVID-19 at the time. Learn more at https://freenowfoundation.org Alix Mayer, MBA, is Board Chair and President of Free Now Foundation, California's leading medical freedom law non-profit. In 1996, while running a worldwide research group for Apple Inc., six vaccines for a vacation left her disabled and brain-damaged, ending her career.
