The CPG Guys are joined in this episode by Chris Peterson, President, CEO & Board Member of Newell Brands, a major American global consumer and commercial products conglomerate. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the company manufactures, markets, and distributes over 50 well-known brands across three core segments: Home & Commercial Solutions, Learning & Development, and Outdoor & Recreation.This episode was recorded at Newell Brands headquarters in Atlanta.Follow Chris on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-peterson-488930114Follow Newell Brands online at: https://www.newellbrands.com/Chris answered these questions: Chris, at CAGNY, you spoke extensively about an enterprise AI program you internally call "Quantum Leap". You mentioned that in mid-2025, you shifted this from isolated use cases into a broader "how work gets done" workflow model. Can you talk to us about the genesis of Quantum Leap and what it looks like today?That scale is incredible, Chris. One thing that stood out to me during your recent Leadership Summit 2026 was your mention of 33 functional "navigators". It sounds like a massive cultural shift to build AI fluency across the enterprise. How do these navigators act as change agents inside their functions?Let's talk about the tangible outputs because the numbers you shared at CAGNY were staggering. You noted a 500% increase in AI-enabled digital content creation in 2025 versus 2024, entirely without any additional investment. How has AI accelerated your innovation pipeline from concept to launch?You can't run advanced AI without clean data, and Newell has done a massive amount of simplification. You've cut your active SKUs by over 80% and rationalized the brand portfolio from 80 down to just over 50 brands. By the fall of 2026, 95% of your global sales will be supported by a single instance of SAP. How critical is that ERP integration to feeding the Quantum Leap program?Chris, driving a transformation of this magnitude isn't just about technology; it's about the people executing it. Newell Brands has a very clear set of core values: Integrity, Teamwork, Passion for Winning, Ownership, and Leadership. As CEO, how do you lean on these principles to guide your 24,000 teammates around the world through such a massive operational and cultural shift?You've been driving a unified "One Newell" go-to-market model and consolidating what used to be five separate operating segments into just three. How does the value of "Teamwork"—which you define as "Succeeding Together"—play into breaking down those legacy silos?Thinking about the industry, how do you expect AI to impact shopping and agents to guide consumers? What's your advice to retail?Chris, this has been an absolute masterclass in enterprise AI adoption and operational leadership. What advice would you give others embarking on the AI journey?CPG Guys Website: http://CPGguys.comFMCG Guys Website: http://FMCGguys.comSheCOMMERCE Website: https://shecommercepodcast.com/Rhea Raj's Website: http://rhearaj.comLara Raj in Katseye: https://www.katseye.world/DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.

ACT and New Zealand First are in favour of a minimum non-parole period of 8 years for offenders who commit manslaughter by a strike to the head or the neck - the coward punch. But, National and the opposition parties are not keen. Board member of the Walk Without Fear Trust, Mike Angove, told Andrew Dickens he is disappointed in National's lack of support. "National have indicated that they're going to look at bespoke law, but essentially, remembering that Matt King, originally a National Party member, started this 8 years ago, almost 9 years ago. National has been right behind this the whole way, but they've faltered at the hurdle." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Explore how a global supply chain company turned its data platform into a customer-facing product designed to operate at the speed of disruption. Boris Rabkin, Chief Information Officer at Ligentia, shares how the company executed that shift through a deliberate phased approach and a partnership with ThoughtSpot. He breaks down how to build a data foundation that scales, what it takes to embed analytics where decisions happen, and how to structure AI ownership and governance across a global regulatory environment. Key Moments: From Reactive to Proactive with Agentic AI (04:46): Supply chain disruption response has changed from slow email chains and fragmented data to agentic systems that flag issues and test decisions in real time. Boris illustrates how Ligentia navigated that shift firsthand. Embedding Analytics Into the Customer Platform (09:00): Boris explains why bolting analytics onto a separate tool creates friction and why embedding intelligence directly into the existing customer platform is the better call. How to Phase a Data Transformation That Sticks (12:12): Boris outlines three phases: stabilize the foundation, standardize definitions, then build a usable experience. Skipping the plumbing is where most transformations fail. Where AI Ownership Really Belongs in the Enterprise (14:03): Understand why AI ownership should sit where value is created. Learn how centralized governance ensures data accuracy and security across the organization. What the Asyad Acquisition Unlocks for Ligentia (22:49): Boris shares how the new investment opens doors to scale the platform globally, automate logistics workflows, and monetize data beyond services. Key Quotes: “ We wanted to control the brand experience, the same login for our customers. Removing the friction and having the experience of being in one trusted platform for making those decisions… This is where [ThoughtSpot] came in.”  - Boris Rabkin “I think AI should be owned where value is created. It shouldn't be a centralized  function inside a lab. If it's not close to the product and the people that are using it, AI won't create the value.” - Boris Rabkin “Speed is one thing, but confidence in the data is something that really drives decisions.” - Boris Rabkin Mentions The EU AI Act's ‘Wait and See' Window Is Closing Asyad Group and Ligentia Join Forces to Accelerate Global Growth and Enhance Technology-Driven Supply Chain Solutions ThoughtSpot Supply Chain Solutions & Case Studies The Acquired Podcast: Formula 1 | From Bankrupt Teams to a Global Sports Empire  The Acquired Podcast: Costco | How a Wholesale Club Built a Customer Fanaticism  Guest Bio Boris Rabkin is the Chief Information Officer at Ligentia.

George Barrios spent more than three decades moving between strategy, finance, operations, and general management before helping lead the evolution of WWE from a North American live-event business into a global media company. In this conversation, he reflects on the principles that shaped that career and the lessons learned while leading large-scale change under intense scrutiny. A central theme is systems thinking. Barrios explains why effective leaders develop a deep understanding of how customers, markets, functions, incentives, and decisions interact rather than viewing problems through a single functional lens. He argues that better decisions often come from understanding second- and third-order consequences rather than focusing only on immediate outcomes. The discussion also explores where conviction comes from. Barrios rejects the idea that confidence is primarily a personality trait. Instead, he argues that conviction is built through preparation, rigorous analysis, and a willingness to develop a clear point of view. For leaders pursuing ambitious initiatives, this foundation becomes essential when facing skepticism, criticism, and uncertainty. Several practical lessons emerge: Strong leaders seek to understand the entire business, not just their area of expertise. Writing remains one of the most effective ways to sharpen thinking because it exposes gaps, inconsistencies, and unsupported assumptions. Courage is not the absence of fear. The fear associated with difficult decisions rarely disappears, but action reduces its influence. Storytelling is a leadership skill, not a communication accessory. People commit to difficult work when they understand the larger purpose behind it and can see their role within it. Significant achievements often require enduring what Barrios describes as the "swamp of despair," the period when progress is unclear, criticism is high, and abandoning the effort appears rational. The conversation also examines the implications of artificial intelligence. Barrios believes professionals should move beyond simply using AI tools and instead learn how to integrate them deeply into their workflows. At the same time, he emphasizes that AI cannot replace the value of an informed point of view developed through reading, writing, experience, and independent thinking. Drawing on his experience in media and sports, Barrios discusses why the economics of content creation are changing rapidly. As the cost of producing content approaches zero, differentiation increasingly depends on authenticity, trusted expertise, strong brands, and proprietary experiences that cannot be replicated by algorithms. He also explains why successful content organizations should think less about producing individual hits and more about building data-driven systems that consistently create, test, and refine content at scale. This is a conversation about leadership, judgment, resilience, and the discipline required to pursue difficult ideas when evidence is incomplete and consensus is absent.

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, Emily Chamlee-Wright delivers a keynote lecture at the 2025 Markets & Society conference on the precarious state of liberalism and the cultural foundations necessary to sustain a free society. Drawing on the cultural economy framework she developed with Virgil Storr, Chamlee-Wright argues that liberalism faces not only overt constitutional threats but a deeper "soft tissue" problem: the erosion of the values, norms, and habits that make formal institutions work. Once degraded, she warns, no legislative remedy can restore them. She walks through four dimensions of this cultural ecosystem, shared mental models, generalized norms, cultural tools, and social networks, and shows how they can either reinforce liberal resilience or spiral into vicious cycles of decay. She closes with an urgent call to action: liberal intellectuals and scholars must boldly deploy the cultural tools at their disposal, the stories, symbols, and founding ideals of a free society to decisively reverse the illiberal drift before it becomes irreversible.Dr. Emily Chamlee-Wright is a senior affiliated scholar and Board Member at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. She is the President and CEO of the Institute for Humane Studies and the author of numerous books, including The Cultural Foundations of Economic Development (Routledge 1997) and Culture and Enterprise (Routledge 2000), co-authored with the late Don Lavoie.**This episode was recorded October 19, 2025**If you like the show, please subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and tell others about the show!

In this episode of the RIA Edge Podcast, host David Armstrong speaks with Andrea Broughton, CEO and founder of WealthCrossing, about the firm’s growth from an Ernst & Young spinout to a $1.5 billion RIA. Andrea shares how the firm grew through client referrals, built tax planning into its client experience, and recently expanded its growth strategy through branding and digital marketing. The conversation explores WealthCrossing’s approach to financial planning and tax strategy, its recent rebrand, talent development, growth initiatives, estate planning and its evaluation of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, while maintaining a strong focus on client service. Key takeaways: How WealthCrossing spun out of Ernst & Young 21 years ago in response to Sarbanes-Oxley regulations, and grew to $1.5 billion in assets without relying on acquisitions. How the firm’s tax-centric approach to financial planning plays out in its hiring decisions and its team-based approach to each client. What drove the firm's decision to outsource tax preparation eight years ago, and then bring it back in-house five years later.  Why after operating for 19 years without one, WealthCrossing partnered with a marketing firm, rebranded as “SBK Financial” and created a surprisingly high percentage of new client leads through digital channels. Why Broughton and her team are taking a more cautious stance than many peers regarding AI integration into their technology stack, even while she personally uses AI tools for administrative tasks and individual productivity.

„Routine ist gefährlich – man muss sich täglich hinterfragen.“ In dieser Folge von Behind the C begrüßt Franz Kubbillum Urs Krämer, der als Chief Sales Officer bei Capgemini Deutschland die Vertriebs- und Marketinggeschicke für den gesamten deutschen Markt steuert. Mit über 25 Jahren Erfahrung in der IT- und Beratungswelt kennt Urs die Branche wie kaum ein Zweiter. Er erklärt, warum er sich in Zeiten von massivem Kostendruck und dem allgegenwärtigen KI-Hype weniger als klassischer Verkäufer und vielmehr als strategischer Problemlöser für seine Kund:innen versteht. Dabei setzt er konsequent auf das japanische Kaizen-Prinzip: Die Kunst der stetigen, kleinen Schritte, um Organisationen und Menschen auf eine Welt vorzubereiten, in der die Veränderungsgeschwindigkeit nur noch eine Richtung kennt: steil nach oben. Urs blickt im Gespräch auf einen „wilden“ Werdegang zurück – vom Berater an der Front über die CFO-Rolle im Private-Equity-Umfeld bis hin zur CEO-Position bei Sopra Steria und seiner heutigen Rolle im Board. Er erzählt offen, wie er sich vom reinen „Zahlenmenschen“ zum Leader entwickelt hat, der heute vor allem durch eines führt: Kommunikation. Dabei nimmt er bewusst kein Blatt vor den Mund, denn für ihn bedeutet echte Führung auch Mut zur Polarisierung und klare Kante statt weichgespülter Floskeln. Ganz privat erfahren wir, warum der bekennende Morgenmuffel beim Restaurieren von Oldtimern am besten abschaltet und weshalb er im Flugzeug oder Auto lieber schweigend reflektiert, statt sich permanent mit dem nächsten Podcast oder Musik beschallen zu lassen. Drei Fragen, die in dieser Folge besprochen werden: - Wie führt man Organisationen durch echte Begeisterung statt durch bloße Anweisungen und welche Rolle spielt dabei die radikale Vereinfachung komplexer Botschaften? - Wie navigiert man als Unternehmen erfolgreich zwischen dem harten Zwang zur Kosteneffizienz und dem gleichzeitigen Investitionsdruck durch Technologien wie AI? - Warum ist die Fähigkeit zur „input-freien Reflexion“ heute eine der wichtigsten Superkräfte für Führungskräfte geworden, um im Informations-Overload nicht den Fokus zu verlieren?

On today's episode, we welcome Michael Meyer, CEO of I and love and you — a leader who's built his career spotting opportunities others overlook and turning them into category-defining brands. From organic baby food to natural pet food, Michael has been at the center of major shifts in how consumers shop and what they expect. Now, he's making a bold bet on one of the most underdeveloped spaces in the industry—premium cat food. With the recent acquisition of Made by Nacho and the addition of Bobby Flay as Chief Culinary Officer, Investor, and Board Member, the company is doubling down on a category that's finally having its moment. In this episode, Michael breaks down why cats—not dogs—represent one of the biggest growth opportunities in pet, how he built an omnichannel brand across natural, grocery, mass, and ecommerce, and what it takes to scale to 30,000+ retail doors without losing quality or trust. We also get into the reality of working with strategic investors like L Catterton, how to separate real partnerships from marketing noise, and why the best founders are the ones willing to make contrarian bets early.

To date, the hilarious campaign from Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin - "Born to Dairy" - has already racked up more than 10.5 million views, and counting! Today we’re joined by one of the stars of the campaign! Welcome, Jody Miller — also known as The Barnyard Beautifier! Jody and her family farm in Avoca at Miller Time Dairy. Currently they're planning to host the Iowa County Breakfast on the Farm, which is a perfect example of how Jody works to add beauty to the barnyard. Pam Jahnke visits with Miller about the excitement she feels with the "Born to Dairy" persona's and the messages they relay. Miller also believes that this platform is a wonderful way for dairy farmers to connect with consumers on a "real" level. For Miller, there's a lot of truth behind her "Barnyard Beautifer" persona. She cares deeply about the image her dairy operation portrays to the general public. She believes that it's a visual example of how much the family cares about what they do. Their devotion to taking care of their animals. Their focus on improving the soil and water they depend on today for the next generation. Miller is also proud of the other personalities involved in "Born to Dairy". She says the campaign shows that dairy farmers are real people with humor, creativity, traditions, and passions outside of the work itself. Dairy operators work incredibly hard, but she adds that they also know how to laugh at themselves a little. Which persona do you match with? Where's your next June Dairy Adventure? You can find all the answers at Wisconsin Dairy!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the Future of the Firm podcast, Francine Bennett, Board Member at the Ada Lovelace Institute and at The British Library, joins Emma Carroll, Head of Client Voice at Source, to explore the rapid evolution of AI and its practical implications for business leaders.  Drawing on over 20 years of experience, Francine address the following questions and more: Where are we with agentic AI, and how far have businesses really got with its adoption? In what ways are multimodal AI and direct speech-to-speech voice models transforming customer interactions? How can leaders effectively leverage AI for strategy development while keeping human judgement at its heart? Why does mandating AI adoption through blunt metrics (like number of hours spent using AI) backfire, and what is a better approach to building workforce skills? Where can consultants add the most value for clients around AI? Where are we with the challenge posed by hallucinations and overconfident AI outputs today?    If you enjoyed this conversation, we have a whole catalogue of back episodes for you to delve into. In a recent episode, we sat down with Geert van den Goor, CEO at Valcon, to talk about the new competitive advantage of regional firms.

David Sanders was a young, active guy from Atlanta, a biology major turned nonprofit professional turned MBA, when years of mysterious, unexplained symptoms finally led to a diagnosis in 2018: Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis, a rare disease most commonly seen in infants. For David, it had already progressed through multiple systems in his body. The diagnosis, as scary as it was, was almost a relief, because at least now he knew what he was fighting.After six months of chemotherapy that wasn't working well, David hit a pivot point. He reached out for help spiritually, emotionally, and holistically. That's when he connected with Healing Strong founder Susie, began working with a holistic doctor, started HBOT therapy, overhauled his nutrition, and leaned into detox protocols to help his body survive the chemo itself. Within months, his scans cleared. By early 2020, just before COVID, he had finished his last round of chemo.Now living in Greenville, SC, David serves as the youngest board member of Healing Strong, bringing his nonprofit management background and his own cancer journey to help the organization reach more people with hope and practical support. In this conversation, he and Jim talk about what it means to fight something you can't name, why hope isn't just emotional but tactical, and why young voices in the cancer community matter more than ever.HealingStrong's mission is to educate, equip and empower our group leaders and group participants through their journey with cancer or other chronic illnesses, and know there is HOPE. We bring this hope through educational materials, webinars, guest speakers, conferences, community small group support and more.Please take advantage of our FREE resources below to help you along your health and healing journey:Support Group DirectoryHolistic Curriculum - Participant GuideSupport Our Mission - DonateAdditional Health ResourcesListen to Previous EpisodesWebsite: healingstrong.org

Did you know that just 12% of the 89,000 paying customers of Chugach Electric vote for the Board Members of this public utility that impacts every customer's paycheck month in and month out ?It should come as no surprise that left-leaning climate alarmists, hand-picked and funded primarily through the Alaska Center for the Environment (now known as just the Alaska Center to mask their identity) and Renewable Energy Alaska Project, dominate the Chugach Electric Board. And when these Board members oppose sensible, affordable, predictable strategies to provide energy...you and I pay more. And our freedoms are impeded.On today's show, I was privileged to chat with Todd Lindley, a conservative, experienced mechanical engineer with years of work in the energy arena, about why it's so important to have a variety of voices on this Board. Southcentral Alaskans rate payers should not be held hostage by a leftist mindset more concerned with woke environmental ideology than affordable, predictable energy to take care of our families.Support the show

This month on Laura Flanders and Friends, we're revisiting conversations around work, workers, and the Labor Movement on the Move.  This week we explore how the folks at The People's Network for Land & Liberation (PNLL) are building for the future in the midst of the crisis facing us now.  They say the forces that got us here are bigger than one bad leader; entire systems must be taken down. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: People across the country are resisting authoritarianism in creative and powerful ways, and this is just the start. The folks at The People's Network for Land & Liberation (PNLL) say the forces that got us here are bigger than one bad leader; entire systems must be taken down. Building a brighter future requires a vision of economic and social justice — and lots of practice. Today on Laura Flanders & Friends, we look at some of those practical experiments and paths for radical change, and discuss why they're just as important as resistance. The members of PNLL, a multiracial, multiethnic consortium of six community-based organizations, are doing politics and economics differently in real places across the U.S. right now. Joining us are Edget Betru, an attorney, activist and Coordinator of the People's Network for Land & Liberation; David Cobb, PNLL staff person and Co-coordinator of the U.S. Solidarity Economy Network; and Blair Evans, Founder and Executive Director of Incite Focus, a production and training lab based in Idlewild, Michigan. Find out how to build for the future — even in the toughest circumstances. All that, plus a commentary from Laura on William Morris's News From Nowhere. “We've been colonized in our minds . . . Involving people in day-to-day produce, meeting their needs through a different way, through thinking, Hey, who in my neighborhood knows how to fix this? . . . It's really that shift in consciousness that needs to happen that's going to allow for this new economy to emerge.” - Edget Betru “My mama and my mamaw and my papa who raised me taught me a lesson as a little boy, and that is, there's enough to go around as long as we share. That made sense to me when I was five years old. It makes sense to me now when I'm 63 years old. There's enough to go around as long as we share. It's just as simple as that.” - David Cobb “We can make things that make things, we can design and build our own equipment that can then use locally sourced materials, hyper localizing the supply chain . . .

Employees and volunteers of public charities often participate in the political and democratic process in ways that connect to their organization's mission. While a 501(c)(3) cannot engage in partisan activity, individuals don't give up their First Amendment rights when they are staff, board members, or volunteers of a public charity. In our last episode, we talked about candidate appearances at charitable events. But what if the call is coming from inside the house? In this episode, we'll share some practical tips and best practices to help you engage in electoral work as an individual while keeping your organization safely within the rules to protect its tax-exempt status.   Attorneys for this episode  Victor Rivera  Quyen Tu  Sarah Efthymiou  Show notes  Basic rule: 501(c)(3) organizations are prohibited from participating in partisan political activity. This rule also applies to anyone acting on an official capacity on behalf of the c3. This means that (c)(3) leaders, staff, and volunteers may not use the facilities, equipment, personnel, or other c3 resources to provide support to or oppose a candidate or campaign. However, this prohibition does not apply to the activities of officers, directors, or employees of 501(c)(3)s who are acting in their individual capacity.  Best Practices: Election Activities of Individuals Associated with 501(c)(3)s  Know when you're on the clock. 501(c)(3) staff may work on political campaigns outside of work hours, or while using their available leave time. However, time for which a charity compensates a staff member is also the charity's resource and should not be used for supporting or opposing candidates. Even unpaid time off could be problematic if permitted to staff outside of standard personnel policy limits and preferentially allow them to volunteer on some campaigns and not others.  Don't use c3 resources for political purposes. A charity should not allow its assets or facilities to be used for individuals' personal campaign work (including obvious resources like letterhead, photocopiers, and telephones, as well as perhaps less obvious ones like distribution lists, postal mailing permits, and email accounts). And, since 501(c)(3)-sponsored events use the organization's reputation and goodwill, 501(c)(3) representatives cannot support or oppose candidates at events.  Adopt an election-season policy. 501(c)(3) organizations should make staff aware, in writing, of policies against using organizational resources for supporting or opposing candidates.  Make clear what hat you're wearing. Individuals should make it clear that they are speaking for themselves and not for the organization when participating in partisan activities off the charity's clock.  Best Practices: 501(c)(3) Employees Running for Office  In addition to supporting candidates, individuals who work for or serve as board members for 501(c)(3) organizations may wish to run for office themselves. In those situations, it is important for the 501(c)(3) associated with the candidate to avoid supporting or opposing the candidacy, as well as avoid giving the appearance of supporting or opposing the candidacy.  Avoid allowing 501(c)(3) resources to be used for campaign activities, including facilities and staff time.   If mentioning candidacy, do so for informational purposes only.  Confirm whether government grants place any restrictions on staff running for office.   If using a 501(c)(3)'s social media accounts, be careful about liking or sharing content from the candidate's account/campaign.  Resources   Rules of the Game: Guide to Election-Related Activities for 501(c)(3)s  Sample 501(c)(3) Organizational Policy for Election Season   501(c)(3) Employees Running for Office (Factsheet)  Election Activities of Individuals Associated with 501(c)(3)s   Board Members and Election Year Activities)  The Hatch Act of 1939: Frequently Asked Questions  8 Tips For Nonprofits with Employees Running for Public Office

Early in the year 1976, a young musician was seeking a place to perform where people wanted to listen.  Frustrated by the spaces where you'd play to a crowd that was otherwise distracted, he sought to find and create an environment where the musician and the audience shared the room and the exchange of energy would be something special.The owner of what was then the Lehigh Tavern (nowadays known as The Funhouse) mentioned that the doughnut shoppe next door was vacant.  And the rest is history ... sonically beautiful history.That person was Dave Fry and that space became the legendary Godfrey Daniels.  For this episode we honor the legacy of the space and help promote their upcoming Jubilee gala happening on Sat May 23rd to help raise funds for an exciting announcement happening that evening.Details on the Jubilee gala to celebrate 50 years of Godfrey DanielsI'm joined by special guest co-hosts Managing Director Ramona LaBarre and Board Member / committe lead for the Jubilee Kate Hughes.And we have a special pre-recorded interview with co-founder Dave Fry and early performer and volunteer John Gorka, who's gone on to an illustrious career as a singer/songwriter and performer.  We explore the founding of the club and how those early years quickly revealed that they built something special.Please enjoy, consider supporting Godfrey Daniels, and hope to see you at the jubilee!Text us your thoughts on this episode, and who should be OUR #NextFavBand...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".  If you tuned in today because you already knew this musician - thank you very much!  We hope that you enjoyed it and would consider following us and subscribing so we can bring you your #nextfavband in the future.  And check out nextfavband.com for our entire catalog of interviews!If you have a recommendation on who you think OUR next favorite band should be, hit us up on social media (@nextfavband everywhere) or send us an email at nextfavband@stereophiliastudio.com.Thank you to Carver Commodore, argonaut&wasp, and Blair Crimmins for allowing us to use their music in the show open and close.  It makes everything sound so much better!Let's catch a live show together soon!#nextfavband #livemusic #music #musicinterview #musician  #singer  #guitar  #song  #newmusic  #explorepage  #instamusic #bestmusic #musicismylife #musicindustry #musiclife #songwriter #musiclover #musicfestival 

Everyone is using AI, but almost no one can tell you if they are actually getting better at it. In this episode of Product Talk hosted by Hoda Mehr, Co-founder and CEO of Up My Mojo and Board Member of Products That Count, Talent.com CPTO Navya Rehani Gupta speaks on the self learning system she built to make AI capability development measurable and self improving at the executive level.

Morgan Keefer is a Board Member for the Institute of Cannabis Science, and an experienced cannabis testing laboratory accreditation professional. She has presented at conferences, including CannMed, Pittcon, and Cannabis Science Conference regarding the importance of inter-laboratory comparison and method validation for the cannabis industry. At CannMed 26, Morgan will present Frequently Identified Nonconformances Applicable to Cannabis Testing, which will explore some of the challeges that come with operating a cannabis lab as well as opportunities for improvement. During our conversation, we discuss: Cannabis labs must be ISO/IEC 17025 accredited to prove they are competent to test for potency, contaminants, and other critical safety markers that protect consumers. Inconsistent state regulations and federal illegality create unique challenges for cannabis labs, including the need to rapidly validate new test methods as rules change. Sample manipulation by producers (i.e., bleaching samples or inflating potency) is a real problem that undermines lab results and puts consumers at risk. Many labs fall short on method validation and measurement uncertainty, sometimes reporting results for years without fully validating their methods across all product types. Consumers can protect themselves by requesting certificates of analysis, asking labs to confirm their results directly, and watching for measurement uncertainty disclosures. Thanks to This Episode's Sponsor: CANN Since 2015, CANN has been building a strong network of scientists in the cannabis space to promote scientific innovation, safety, and development through education, research, and the empowerment of the scientific community.
