Artificial intelligence has been a frequent topic on Sinica in recent years — but usually through the lens of the two countries that have produced the leading models and companies: the United States and China. We've covered generative AI, national strategies, governance frameworks, and the geopolitical implications of AI leadership.This webinar, broadcast on the morning of August 14, broadens that lens to explore how other countries — and especially Ukraine — are approaching AI in the public sector. Around the world, governments are experimenting with AI well beyond chatbots and text generation: China's “City Brain” optimizes traffic, energy use, and public safety; U.S. agencies are streamlining services and automating benefits processing; and elsewhere, smart grids, predictive infrastructure planning, and AI-enabled e-governance are reshaping public administration. These projects reveal both the promise and the complexity of bringing AI into government — along with valid concerns over privacy, fairness, and inclusiveness.We'll look at what lessons Ukraine might draw from U.S. and Chinese experiences, the opportunities and challenges of adapting these practices, and the strategic risks of sourcing AI solutions from different providers — especially in the context of Ukraine's eventual postwar reconstruction.Joining us are three distinguished guests:Dmytro Yefremov, Board Member of the Ukrainian Association of Sinologists, with deep expertise in China's political and technological strategies and Ukraine's policy landscape.Wang Guan, Chairman of Learnable.ai in China, bringing extensive experience in AI applications for public administration and education.Karman Lucero, Associate Research Scholar and Senior Fellow at Yale Law School's Paul Tsai China Center, whose work focuses on Chinese law, governance, and the regulation of emerging technologies.Thanks to the Ukrainian Platform for Contemporary China, the Ukrainian Association of Sinologists, and the Center for Slavic, Eurasian, and East European Studies at the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill for organizing and sponsoring today's event.

Presidents have used executive orders to direct the executive branch since the founding, but over the years the modern Presidency has drastically expanded its use of executive orders. Executive Orders have always been an important means of moving the Executive Branch into alignment with the President’s interpretation of the law consistent with his duty of faithful execution and a primary way President’s exercise their executive discretion under law. Yet all power is subject to expansion and abuse. In January 2014, for example, then-President Obama announced his “pen and phone” strategy: “I’ve got a pen to take executive actions where Congress won’t, and I’ve got a telephone to rally folks around the country on this mission.”Subsequent administrations have similarly relied on presidential authority to govern by way of Executive Orders, leading to significant litigation challenging the breadth of such authority. This panel will examine the use of executive orders and the “pen and phone” strategy throughout our nation’s history, especially from a separation of powers perspective. This broad power is not expressly identified in either the Constitution or statute, but it has long been accepted as inherent to presidential power over the federal government, federal agencies, foreign affairs, and our military. This panel will discuss the impact of executive orders, what precedent they set for future administrations in the robust exercise of executive authority, and how the “unitary executive” theory plays into that analysis.This webinar will be the first of four webinars previewing the Thirteenth Annual Executive Branch Review Conference on the topic of Theories of Presidential Power.Featuring: John G. Malcolm, Vice President, Institute for Constitutional Government; Director of the Meese Center for Legal & Judicial Studies and Senior Legal Fellow, The Heritage FoundationProf. Richard J.

— Critical Memory Integration (CMI™) is an experiential psychotherapy that uses memory reconsolidation to help individuals integrate even the most distressing of experiences into their existing mental framework. Unlike conventional therapies, CMI™ facilitates integration through direct experience rather than conversation or explanation, resulting in a more efficient process. The person is guided to tune into signals of bodily sensations and emotions, uncovering the root causes of patterns and responses. The process fosters deeper connections to capacities for growth and adaptiveness, leading to a renewed sense of self, and sustainable change.

Understanding the fine print that could make or break your deal is just as important when purchasing a business with SBA financing as it is when obtaining a loan. All too frequently, buyers lose out on opportunities or become mired in transactions that don't fit the program because they are unaware of the nuances of SBA regulations. The CEO of SBA Loan Group, Yankie Markowitz, sits down with Jaryd Krause in this episode to discuss his extensive knowledge of SBA loans and how he has facilitated more than $1 billion in SBA and real estate transactions. Yankie explains which business categories are eligible for SBA financing, what has changed recently, and how to handle the complex world of debt ratios, deal structures, and cash requirements. You’ll learn: ✔️ Which businesses can—and can’t—be acquired with SBA loans ✔️ How much cash do you need to qualify ✔️ Why e-commerce fits well with SBA financing, and where it falls short ✔️ The ins and outs of seller notes, holdbacks, and loan terms ✔️ Real-world lessons from deals that worked—and ones that didn’t This episode provides useful, straightforward advice from one of the most seasoned SBA specialists in the industry, regardless of whether you're prepared to purchase your first company or want to improve your acquisition approach.

It's official: Derek Dooley is the latest Republican to jump into the race to eventually challenge incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff. The former University of Tennessee football coach joined the GOP primary and announced his campaign in a video that honored his late father, the legendary University of Georgia football coach Vince Dooley. Republican strategist Brian Robinson, Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and host Lisa Rayam agree: there's power in the Dooley name. But the endorsements are also rolling in for U.S. Rep. Mike Collins. Plus, Republican Janelle King sits on the State Election Board. Her husband, Kelvin King, is running for Secretary of State. Both are part of the Black Voices for Trump Coalition and have been critical of the current office and its handling of Georgia's elections. But King says she won’t surrender her position just because her husband is running, citing there’s no legal obligation for her to do so. If he wins, “that’s a different discussion,” she said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a pullback following the 2021 peak, this year's upswing is breathing new life into opportunities for both entrepreneurs and investors.Brian Belley, Vice President of Product at Kingscrowd, shared insights on this trend during this episode of the “Superpowers for Good” show. He highlighted the resilience of the market, noting, “The numbers were actually very encouraging for this year. So over the first six months, over the first half of the year, there was $450 million committed to these campaigns that are being done online to these offerings.”Despite economic uncertainty and public market volatility earlier this year, investors continued to support small businesses and startups. As Belley explained, “We actually raised $450 million in spite of all of that that was going on.” Beyond the investment totals, this capital is fueling job creation and economic activity across communities.Both Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) are seeing significant participation. Regulation A campaigns attracted $250 million, while Reg CF brought in $200 million—up 9% from last year. Belley pointed out, “In the case of Regulation A, that even exceeded the first six months even going back to 2021,” signaling the historic nature of this year's growth.One reason for Reg CF's continued appeal is its accessibility, with minimum investments as low as $50 or $100. Belley said, “The average investment size, check size, as we refer to it, does tend to be in that $1,000 to $1,200 range... there are some bigger investors out there as well who are investing in these companies.” This democratization of investing is helping more people participate in early-stage ventures.Recent successful offerings, such as the Newsmax Reg A+ campaign that raised $75 million, show how large brands can leverage their audiences to achieve record-breaking results. Such campaigns also demonstrate how regulated crowdfunding can bridge the gap between private and public markets, sometimes allowing shares to become tradable soon after the raise.Kingscrowd's projections suggest that the sector could reach $900 million by year's end, potentially rivaling or even surpassing the 2021 record. For founders seeking capital and investors seeking opportunities, the data points to a robust and promising period for regulated investment crowdfunding.For those interested in learning more, Belley's latest report is available at s4g.biz/king or kingscrowd.com, offering data, insights, and tools to help navigate this dynamic market.tl;dr:The episode highlights a renewed surge in regulated investment crowdfunding, with $450 million raised early in 2025.Brian Belley of Kingscrowd shares data and trends, showing growth in both Reg A and Reg CF offerings.Reg CF's accessibility empowers everyday investors and helps democratize early-stage investment opportunities.The Newsmax Reg A+ campaign illustrates how major brands can achieve record-breaking success through pre-IPO crowdfunding.The episode closes with practical advice for founders and investors to benefit from the evolving crowdfunding landscape.The Newsmax offering stands out as a prime example of pre-IPO crowdfunding. As Brian Belley explained, “Something very unique with the Newsmax offering is this ability where it was kind of this pre-IPO offering, where the shares that were purchased were essentially then kind of uplisted. They were listed on a public exchange after the Reg A offering, and they then became tradable.” This structure enabled investors not only to back a familiar media brand but also to access liquidity by trading their shares soon after the campaign, a feature rarely seen in traditional crowdfunding.The Newsmax Reg A+ campaign showcased how a company can leverage its established audience to fuel a record-breaking raise. With a large, engaged base, Newsmax was able to reach supporters eager for both financial returns and a chance to connect with the brand's mission. After the campaign, the shares became tradable on a public exchange, and early trading saw the stock price soar, providing some investors with significant short-term gains before stabilizing. This example demonstrates how regulated crowdfunding can bridge private capital raising and public market liquidity, offering tangible rewards and flexibility to investors.Build and engage a strong community or audience before launching any campaignLeverage brand recognition and trust to attract committed investorsStructure offerings with potential paths to liquidity, such as post-raise public tradingWork with experienced platforms and broker-dealers to maximize reach and regulatory complianceCommunicate risks and rewards transparently to set realistic investor expectationsGuest ProfileBrian Belley (he/him):Vice President, Product, KingscrowdAbout Kingscrowd: Kingscrowd is a team of financiers, venture capitalists, technologists, founders, and experts on a mission to democratize private market investing.

What do AI, oil, and bicycle blindspots have in common? Pixel Paws CEO Josh Holtz reveals how spotting them—from whale oil innovations to GenAI as an "electric bike for the mind"—sparked his leap from chemical engineering at Dow to building AI-powered pet toys that enhance lives. ==============CEO Blindspots® Podcast Guest:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Josh Holtz, CEO of Pixel-Paws.aiJosh Holtz, CEO of Pixel-Paws.ai is a leader who operates at the intersection of chemical engineering, artificial intelligence, and high-stakes business opportunities. With a foundation in chemical engineering and an evolving expertise in computer science, he possesses a rare ability to identify and act on critical blind spots in complex manufacturing and market environments.While at Dow, Josh led a multidisciplinary team in a fast-track project to launch a new hand sanitizer at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. In just six weeks, his team brought the product to market, a feat of innovation and timely execution that resulted in an $8.1 million revenue impact and earned recognition from Dow's CEO.

From social media activism to systemic change, this conversation explores how creativity and innovation can fuel a global movement for good.⸻ Article ⸻ Sometimes, the best stories are the ones that keep unfolding — and Michael Sheldrick's journey is exactly that. When we first spoke, Global Citizen had just (almost) released their book From Ideas to Impact. This time, I invited Michael back on Redefining Society and Technology because his story didn't stop at the last chapter.From a high school student in Western Australia who doubted his own potential, to co-founding one of the most influential global advocacy movements — Michael's path is a testament to what belief and purpose can spark. And when purpose is paired with music, technology, and strategic activism? That's where the real magic happens.In this episode, we dig into how Global Citizen took the power of pop culture and built a model for global change. Picture this: a concert ticket you don't buy, but earn by taking action. Signing petitions, tweeting for change, amplifying causes — that's the currency. It's simple, smart, and deeply human.Michael shared how artists like John Legend and Coldplay joined their mission not just to play music, but to move policy. And they did — unlocking over $40 billion in commitments, impacting a billion lives. That's not just influence. That's impact.We also talked about the role of technology. AI, translation tools, Salesforce dashboards, even Substack — they're not just part of the story, they're the infrastructure. From grant-writing to movement-building, Global Citizen's success is proof that the right tools in the right hands can scale change fast.Most of all, I loved hearing how digital actions — even small ones — ripple out globally. A girl in Shanghai watching a livestream. A father in Utah supporting his daughters' activism. The digital isn't just real — it's redefining what real means.As we wrapped, Michael teased a new bonus chapter he's releasing, The Innovator. Naturally, I asked him back when it drops. Because this conversation isn't just about what's been done — it's about what comes next.So if you're wondering where to start, just remember Eleanor Roosevelt's quote Michael brought back:“The way to begin is to begin.”Download the app. Take one action. The world is listening.Cheers,Marco⸻ Keywords ⸻ Society and Technology, AI ethics, generative AI, tech innovation, digital transformation, tech, technology, Global Citizen, Michael Sheldrick, ending poverty, pop culture activism, technology for good, social impact, digital advocacy, Redefining Society, AI in nonprofits, youth engagement, music and change, activism app, social movements, John Legend, sustainable development, global action, climate change, eradicating polio, tech for humanity, podcast on technology__________________ Enjoy.

⬥GUEST⬥John Salomon, Board Member, Cybersecurity Advisors Network (CyAN) | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnsalomon/⬥HOST⬥Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/imsmartin/ | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com⬥EPISODE NOTES⬥The cybersecurity industry keeps repeating a familiar line: there's a shortage of talent. But what if the real issue isn't the number of people—but the lack of access, mentorship, and investment in human potential?In this episode of Redefining CyberSecurity, Sean Martin speaks with John Salomon, an independent cybersecurity consultant and a contributor to the Cybersecurity Advisors Network (CyAN), about how the hiring structure in our industry may be the problem—not the solution. Together, they explore why entry-level roles rarely provide an actual point of entry, and how hiring practices have been shaped more by finance and compliance than by people development.Salomon draws on decades of experience to outline the problem: security is often treated as a pure cost center, so training and mentorship are deprioritized. Early-career professionals are expected to be “job-ready” from day one, and organizations rarely account for the long-term payoff of investing in apprenticeships or junior hires.He also points to the silent collapse of informal mentorship that once defined the field. Leaders used to take risks on new talent. Now, hiring decisions are driven by headcount limitations and performance metrics that leave no room for experimentation or learning through failure.The conversation shifts toward action. Business and security leaders need to reframe cybersecurity as a growth enabler and start viewing mentorship as a risk mitigation tool. Investing in new talent not only strengthens your team—it supports the stability of the industry as a whole.And it's not just on companies. Universities and student organizations must create more opportunities for experiential learning and interdisciplinary collaboration.
