Washington has stopped talking about South Africa in the abstract. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced a new visa restriction policy aimed not at the country, but at named officials inside the Pretoria government, over land seizures, race-based discrimination and incitement. No names were published, but the bar for inclusion is deliberately low, and family members with a US visa, a green card, or a child studying in America could be caught up in it too. Within hours, US Ambassador Brent Bozell was on X calling it "only the first step in a series of escalatory measures." Alec Hogg traced the arc from Trump's February 2025 executive order through the Oval Office ambush, where a 2020 roadside memorial became "over a thousand" burial sites on camera, to this week's announcement, and laid out what it actually changes for anyone with capital, a career, or a conscience invested in South Africa.

In this wild hour, Walter breaks down South Florida's corporate culture with a hilarious story about a business lunch at a Fort Lauderdale strip club buffet. Then, Spaced Out Radio host Dave Scott stops by to debate whether government UFO disclosures are hiding alien craft or just secret military tech—and whether humans have already colonized Mars. Plus, Walter rants about why the Emmy Awards are totally rigged against network TV.

On this episode of Ingenious Thinkers, we're joined by Rocco Rossi, a Canadian business leader and author whose career has moved through business, politics, public policy, and the not-for-profit world.Rocco joins us to talk about the choices and opportunities that have shaped his career, what years of leading different organizations have taught him about people and community, and what he thinks Canadian leaders and entrepreneurs need to be thinking about today. We also get into his many walks along the Camino de Santiago and how something that began as a personal experience eventually became the inspiration for his new book, Finding Grace.From boardrooms and campaigns to long days spent walking the Camino, Rocco has collected plenty of stories along the way. This conversation is about what those experiences have taught him and why he keeps looking for the next challenge.

Nick explains the critical, often misunderstood distinction between business growth and true scaling, warning founders that confusing the two can lead to catastrophic burnout and lost enterprise value. Drawing on his Private Equity and turnaround background, Nick explains why growth is merely an unrepeatable event driven by heroics, whereas scaling is an intentional, repeatable pattern that operates smoothly and with margin. He reveals why the most scalable and valuable companies are deceptively quiet, well-oiled machines rather than chaotic, full-throttle pressure cookers—offering listeners a clear blueprint for building a business that is both sustainable to run and far more valuable to sell. KEY TAKEAWAYS Growth is an isolated, score-like event driven by founder heroics or market luck, whereas scaling is a deliberate, repeatable pattern that produces predictable results on purpose. Running a company at 100% capacity leaves zero margin for disruption, causing operational breakdowns to be repeatedly patched rather than permanently fixed. A genuinely scaling business is marked by quiet precision and steady rhythm rather than frantic hustle and chaos. Buyers and investors pay a premium not for past performance numbers, but for the proven, repeatable systems that make future revenue predictable without founder dependency. BEST MOMENTS "Growth tells you what happened, but it doesn't tell you why. And if you don't know why, then you can't repeat it." "The quiet wasn't a lack of ambition; it was precision showing up." "Slow is smooth, smooth is deadly. Smooth is incredibly effective." "A machine that is built to run at 100% has nothing left when a component wears out... it doesn't degrade gracefully, it just stops." VALUABLE RESOURCES Want to grow and scale your business?

What does cyber resilience really mean when the stakes extend far beyond the security team?In this special Reimagining Cyber: The Boardroom Edition, we bring together perspectives from three 2026 conversations to explore how cybersecurity is becoming a board-level business and operational issue.Theresa Lanowitz, Cybersecurity Analyst at Omdia and former Gartner analyst explains why resilience can't be treated as simply another cybersecurity initiative — and why the whole organization, from the board and C-suite to frontline teams, needs to take responsibility.We then look at the first year of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) with tech leader Dominic Brown (founder, Graves Light Consulting) , exploring what the regulation means for financial services, why implementation has proved challenging, and why governance, testing and accountability are becoming increasingly important.Finally, Doug Merritt, CEO of Aviatrix and former CEO of Splunk, argues that cybersecurity is entering a new “containment era.” If organizations have to assume that breaches will happen, how do they prevent those breaches from becoming catastrophic? His answer: measure the blast radius.Across all three conversations, one message stands out: cyber leadership is no longer simply about protecting technology. It's about preserving operations, protecting customers, sustaining trust and ensuring the business can continue when disruption occurs.This is cybersecurity from the boardroom perspective.As featured on Million Podcasts' Best 100 Cybersecurity Podcasts  Top 50 Chief Information Security Officer CISO Podcasts Top 70 Security Hacking PodcastsThis list is the most comprehensive ranking of Cyber Security Podcasts online and we are honoured to feature amongst the best!Follow or subscribe to the show on your preferred podcast platform.Share the show with others in the cybersecurity world.Get in touch via reimaginingcyber@gmail.com

Jesse Jensen, Partner in Labaton Keller Sucharow's Securities Litigation Practice, joins the show for a plaintiff-side look at how major securities fraud cases actually get built. Jesse walks through the Silicon Valley Bank collapse and the class action that followed, the EQT Corporation case, and the methodology his team uses to spot red flags, run an investigation, and integrate forensic accountants and damages experts into the case theory. We close with a look at current trends in securities class actions, drawing on Cornerstone Research's latest data on filing volumes, emerging claim types, and the central role of institutional investors. Jesse has been part of teams that have recovered over $1 billion for investors and was named to Lawdragon's 500 Leading Plaintiff Financial Lawyers.

Ken and Anthony react to the Seahawks' record $9.6 billion sale and what it means for franchise valuations league-wide, including the Browns' jump to $8.6 billion. They debate whether the Haslams will ever actually sell, weigh the tradeoffs of an individual owner versus a corporate boardroom, and question whether a private equity group would even have taken a chance on Johnny Manziel back in the day. They close by wondering if tonight's preseason game is really a showcase for Dillon Gabriel with the QB competition already decided.

     From Bunker Hill To The Boardroom with Andy Moye explores the kind of Leadership that still works when AI, disruption, and relentless pressure are reshaping the workplace. Host Tim Staton sits down with Andy Moye—author of From Bunker Hill to the Boardroom, former U.S. Naval Flight Officer, biotech executive, and founder/CEO in the cell and gene therapy space—to discuss Purpose Driven Leadership, Servant Leadership, adaptive intelligence, and the Business Mindset required to build organizations people trust.      What is purpose driven leadership? Andy Moye explains that it is more than a mission statement or motivational slogan. Purpose Driven Leadership connects the organization's mission to the personal motivations of its people, creating stronger commitment, better decision-making, and a more resilient Company Culture. This conversation also examines how purpose-driven leadership programs improve corporate culture by helping employees understand not only what they do, but why their contribution matters.      Drawing on combat deployments, healthcare leadership, biotech, AI-driven precision medicine, and executive experience at organizations including Page and Tempus AI, Andy Moye shares practical Management Tips for leaders navigating uncertainty. He explains why vision alone is not enough, why toxic high performers may signal a deeper purpose-fit problem, and why real Business Growth depends on empowered teams rather than micromanagement.      This episode answers questions leaders are asking now: What is adaptive leadership theory? What is adaptive leadership style? And how can adaptive leadership theory help executives, founders, and managers respond when the environment changes faster than the plan? Andy argues that effective leaders must fall in love with the problem—not a preferred solution—then create the conditions for teams to test, learn, adjust, and move forward. You'll learn how to: Use Servant Leadership as a competitive advantage rather than a slogan Connect purpose-driven board leadership to day-to-day leadership decisions Apply lessons from the purpose driven leadership book, From Bunker Hill to the Boardroom Build Executive Presence without becoming distant, controlling, or performative Translate Military To Business leadership lessons into modern organizational practice Encourage fast learning through after-action reviews, postmortems, and productive failure Evaluate people by the quality of their judgment—not only by outcomes influenced by external factors Create psychological safety so bad news travels early, honestly, and with potential solutions Use AI to turn old proposals, lessons learned, and institutional knowledge into actionable insight Strengthen Professional Development, accountability, trust, and Company Culture across the organization       From Revolutionary War roots and Vietnam to Iraq and the modern boardroom, From Bunker Hill To The Boardroom with Andy Moye shows that leadership fundamentals have not changed—even when the tools have. The best leaders clarify purpose, develop people, share information honestly, and give capable teams the freedom to execute.      Whether you are a founder, executive, board member, frontline manager, veteran making the transition from Military To Business, or an emerging leader looking for practical Leadership and Management Tips, this episode offers a clear framework for leading with purpose, adaptability, accountability, and trust.   Connect with Andy Moye LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andymoye/ Book: https://a.co/d/04SvnAXP   Connect With Tim Website: timstatingtheobvious.com Professional Reading List: https://timstatingtheobvious.com/products Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/timstatingtheobvious YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHfDcITKUdniO8R3RP0lvdw Instagram: @TimStating TikTok: @timstatingtheobvious LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-staton-04b41a271/ SKOOL Community: https://www.skool.com/timstatingtheobvious-9537/about?ref=de9c7e65d8ba4eeabc1a8eea413c125b

Inclusive nonprofit strategic planning is not simply about inviting more people to the table—it is about intentionally engaging the right stakeholders at the right stages of the process to create stronger decisions, deeper commitment, and more sustainable implementation. In this episode, Host Carol Hamilton explains: ·      why traditional, top-down planning models often fall short for nonprofits and  ·      outlines an inclusive approach that reflects the collaborative nature of mission-driven organizations.  ·      the roles of boards, staff, volunteers, program participants, community members, funders, partners, and consultants throughout the planning process, emphasizing that while not everyone participates in every phase, everyone has an important contribution to make. The episode reinforces that successful nonprofit strategic planning builds shared understanding, shared vision, shared priorities, and ultimately shared action through thoughtful engagement and skilled facilitation. 00:00 – Shared Action Begins with Shared Participation 03:00 – Why Traditional Strategic Planning Falls Short 04:00 – Inclusive Planning Expands Both Buy-In and Insight 05:00 – The Strategic Planning Committee Stewards the Process, Not the Plan 08:00 – Internal Stakeholders Bring Essential Operational Perspective 10:00 – Those Served Should Help Shape the Future 12:00 – External Stakeholders Broaden Strategic Perspective 13:00 – The Consultant's Value Is Process Expertise and Fresh Perspective 14:00 – Listening Comes First, Then Synthesis 15:00 – Planning Sessions Focus on Shared Meaning and Priorities 16:00 – Strategic Planning Requires Choosing What Matters Most 17:00 – Strategic Plans Should Create Space for Deliberate Action 18:00 – Inclusive Planning Builds Stronger Organizations About your podcast host: Carol Hamilton, principal of Grace Social Sector Consulting, helps nonprofits become more strategic and effective through inclusive strategic planning, evaluation design, and organizational assessment.

Richard Entrup is unusual in quantum circles: he's not a physicist, and he doesn't pretend to be. He spent decades as a CIO, CTO, CDO, and CISO at organizations including Verizon, Christie's, Disney/ABC, Time Warner, and Tiffany & Company before joining KPMG to lead its Emerging Solutions practice. That background — deep operational experience on the client side — shapes everything about how he thinks about quantum. He's not selling a hardware roadmap; he's thinking about what it actually takes to get a large, complex organization to change its cryptographic infrastructure before a threat materializes.The conversation matters now because the signals are accelerating. NIST has finalized its first post-quantum cryptography standards, executive orders in the US are pushing federal agencies toward PQC migration, and the algorithmic efficiency gains that reduce the qubit threshold for breaking RSA-2048 keep coming. Listeners who work in enterprise technology, cybersecurity, or quantum strategy — or who advise organizations that do — will find Entrup's practitioner perspective a useful counterweight to the more hardware-focused conversations that dominate the field.What We Get IntoWhy Q-Day's exact date is the wrong question — and why the more important issue is how long it will take enterprises to even inventory their cryptographic exposure, let alone remediate itThe scale of the cryptographic migration problem, including why a single laptop may contain hundreds of individual cryptographic components and why upstream/downstream API dependencies make this a supply-chain-wide challenge, not just an internal IT projectWhy "harvest now, decrypt later" creates urgency today, regardless of when fault-tolerant quantum computers arrive — and how compliance and regulatory timelines interact with that threat modelWhat crypto agility actually means in practice — moving from a "set it and forget it" cryptographic posture to a dynamic, continuously monitored framework, including the pressure SSL certificate renewal windows are already creatingHow KPMG built its PQC practice, incubated it within the firm, and handed it off to the cybersecurity advisory team as a core service offeringThe "good quantum" side of the ledger — how KPMG's emerging research function is approaching quantum computing as a source of competitive advantage, not just risk, and what sectors are furthest along in exploring itThe AI-quantum convergence, including Entrup's observation that AI is already being used to read and crack code — and what that means for the urgency of cryptographic modernizationWhy the enterprise quantum opportunity still has a long tail, and how the current moment compares to the early infrastructure phase of the internet — when everyone was talking about TCP/IP and DNS, not Uber or NetflixResources & LinksGuest & OrganizationRichard Entrup — Worth Magazine Profile — Career arc from CIO/CISO roles at major global brands to KPMG's Emerging Solutions practiceKPMG Quantum Dawn (2025) — KPMG's enterprise quantum readiness hub, introducing the Q-PREP framework and PQC implementation services, with Entrup as named leadReports & ResearchKPMG — "The Quantum Threat Is No Longer Theoretical" (2026) — The threat brief discussed in this episode, charting the rapid decline in qubits needed to crack RSA-2048 and urging immediate PQC migrationKPMG — "From Theory to Impact: Real-World Results in Quantum Machine Learning" (2026) — KPMG's joint report with IBM and Kipu Quantum on measurable quantum ML results on real hardwareKPMG — "Prepare Now for Quantum Cyber Risk" — Board Leadership Article (2026) — C-suite and board-level guidance on integrating quantum risk into enterprise oversightarXiv — "Quantum-enhanced satellite image classification" (2026) — The underlying research paper behind the KPMG/IBM/Kipu Quantum ML resultsEcosystem & EventsChicago Quantum Exchange — KPMG Joins CQE (October 2024) — Announcement of KPMG's formal CQE membership, referenced in the episode as part of the firm's ecosystem-building strategyKPMG 2026 Quantum Consortium — The inaugural KPMG Quantum Consortium event (March 2026, Orlando) discussed in the episodeIndependent CoverageQuantum Computing Report — KPMG joins Chicago Quantum Exchange (2024) — Independent coverage of KPMG's CQE partnership and enterprise quantum strategyQuantum Zeitgeist — Kipu Quantum satellite imagery coverage (Feb 2026) — Independent analysis of the KPMG/IBM/Kipu hybrid QML resultsKey Quotes & Insights> "It's not if but when. And it could be five years, could be three years, could be ten years. The fact is organizations are not gonna be ready. And that's the scary part." — Richard Entrup on Q-Day> "This is not just the CISO. This is gonna be the software engineering app dev guys. This is gonna be all your partners, upstream and downstream, who have to also be compliant — because if you change your crypto and they don't, that stuff's gonna break." — On why PQC migration is an enterprise-wide, supply-chain-wide problemInsight: Entrup draws a sharp distinction between the "bad quantum" (cryptographic risk requiring urgent defensive action) and the "good quantum" (competitive opportunity with a longer tail) — and argues that most organizations aren't adequately addressing either.Insight: The analogy to the early internet is deliberate: just as the 1990s were consumed with TCP/IP and DNS rather than the applications those protocols would eventually enable, the current quantum moment is still largely an infrastructure conversation — and that's normal, not a sign of failure.> "AI is expediting all of this.

Welcome to Season 5 of the Braving Business podcast.In this season premiere, co-hosts PJ Benoit and Tal Zlotnitsky dive into a challenge that quietly undermines almost every organization: how to lead effectively through human difference. Rather than treating differences in background, communication styles, generations, or perspectives as obstacles to manage or suppress, what if leaders treated them as dormant capital waiting to be mined?Joining the show are two co-authors of the book All the Difference: How Great Leaders Create Value From Diversity: Lt. Gen. Leslie C. Smith (Ret.), former 66th Inspector General of the U.S. Army, and Stuart Kliman, founding partner at Vantage Partners and alumnus of the Harvard Negotiation Project.From combat operations to Fortune 500 boardrooms and high-growth tech startups, Gen. Smith and Stu share why navigating difference is not an HR checklist or standard DEI policy—it is a core leadership capability called Difference Intelligence.Inside the EpisodeDifference as an Asset: Why modern teams are more difference-filled than ever, and how viewing friction as "dormant capital" creates real competitive advantage.Leadership Through Love (Agape): Gen. Smith shares why true military leadership is rooted in love, care, setting the conditions for success, and serving those you lead.The 6 Target Actions: An inside look at the actionable framework from All the Difference, including Knowing Yourself, Returning to Respect, Activating Honesty, Seeing the Full Story, Igniting Togetherness, and Committing to Action.The 4 Leadership Landmines: How default certainty, inconsistency, reactivity, and justification derail even well-intentioned leaders.The Living Case Study: How three distinct co-authors (a 3-star general, a corporate strategy expert, and an executive coach) lived through their own friction, debates, and diverse perspectives to write this book.Preparing the Battlefield for Decisive Action: How investing in trust and transparency ahead of time makes tough, decisive leadership choices stick when the stakes are highest.Notable Quotes"Difference is gravity. It's part of the human condition. Poorly managed, it undermines your success; well managed, it becomes a source of tremendous value." — Stuart Kliman"Those who lead must first serve. Leadership is about taking people not only to where they want to go, but beyond where they think they have the ability to go." — Lt. Gen. Leslie C.

Nick breaks down why scaling roadblocks are rarely a mindset flaw or a faulty strategy, but rather a rational reaction to operational exposure, isolation, and shrinking time horizons. Instead of relying on passive positive thinking, Nick outlines how founders can regain clarity and momentum by fixing structural vulnerabilities, expanding decision-making horizons, and taking small, decisive actions that generate real-world evidence. KEY TAKEAWAYS What feels like a negative mindset is usually a founder's rational response to unaddressed structural risk, fragility, or cash flow pressure in the business. A struggling founder's focus unconsciously shrinks to daily and weekly firefighting, whereas a thriving leader operates on multi-year time horizons. Isolation distorts perspective, making intentional peer connection and regular mastermind environments vital for objective decision-making. Confidence and belief are lagging indicators that return through taking concrete, small actions rather than relying on positive affirmations. BEST MOMENTS "When a founder's mindset has gone bad, so to speak, it's usually a rational response to something in the business that nobody has yet understood properly or fixed." "What looks like a confidence issue is very often a correct read of the risk that you're carrying." "You get it back by starting with structure, not starting with mindset." "Fear grows in the gap between what you assume and what you have actually done." VALUABLE RESOURCES Want to grow and scale your business?

John Speraw on Systems, Feedback, and Winning Under PressureWe believe that there is no algorithm for leadership. So we ask the world's great coaches how they do it. John Speraw reflects on how great coaches lean into singular strengths while staying humble and learning from staff, and how early mentors helped him see what was possible. He describes choosing coaching over medical school, building a “systems coach” identity at UC Irvine by maximizing limited resources, and returning to UCLA ready to follow Al Scates by being himself.

Boards are making decisions about AI, transformation, succession, culture and growth. But how often does the person with the deepest understanding of the workforce have a seat at the table?In this episode of foHRsight, Naomi is joined by former CHROs Suzan Morno-Wade and Harriet Harty to explore why HR leaders remain significantly underrepresented on corporate boards, and why that gap matters more as organizations navigate increasingly complex workforce decisions. The conversation challenges some persistent assumptions about what CHROs bring to the boardroom. Strong HR leaders aren't simply experts in people programs. They understand organizational performance, leadership capability, succession, culture and enterprise risk. They know how to influence without owning the decision, ask discerning questions and connect talent decisions back to business strategy. And as AI reshapes work, that perspective becomes even more important. Technology decisions are also workforce decisions. Suzan and Harriet make the case for HR leaders to position those conversations in the language of strategy, risk, opportunity, financial analysis and measurable business outcomes. For CHROs who see board service in their future, there's also a practical message: don't wait until you leave the operating role to start preparing. Building board experience, relationships and a board-ready profile takes time. About Our guestsSuzan Morno-Wade is a former CHRO of Xerox whose career has spanned finance, human resources and enterprise leadership. Today, she advises organizations, serves on boards and supports greater representation in the C-suite and boardroom. Harriet Harty has held multiple executive HR roles, most recently serving as Chief Administrative Officer at ADT. She now works across advisory, board and executive coaching roles, bringing extensive experience in business transformation, talent and leadership. Stay Connected with foHRsightTo sign up for our monthly newsletter, foHRsight, click HERE Follow us on LinkedIn:Mark EdgarNaomi Titleman Collafuture foHRward Follow us on InstagramIf you are looking for more foHRsight, sign up for our monthly foHRsight newsletter.

In this episode of The Nonprofit Exchange, I had the pleasure of speaking with Christine Lester, a lifelong learning and organizational development leader. Our conversation, titled "From the Classroom to the Boardroom," explored the unique journey Christine has taken from teaching young people to leading nonprofit organizations. Christine shared her insights on the importance of recognizing untapped talent within nonprofits and the challenges these organizations face, particularly in securing funding. She emphasized the need for leaders to develop softer skills, such as inclusivity and accessibility, which are often overlooked in traditional leadership training. We discussed her role as the founder of the Minister Development Center and her work with West Midlands Tomorrow, where she focuses on creating inclusive leadership and fostering community impact. Christine described herself as a "knowledge altruist," committed to sharing her expertise and helping others find their pathways to success. Throughout our conversation, Christine highlighted the significance of recognizing prior learning and experience, especially for young people entering the workforce. She passionately advocated for a more inclusive approach to education and employment, urging leaders to uncover hidden talents and capabilities in their teams. As we wrapped up, Christine expressed her hope for the future of nonprofit leadership, noting that the passion and tenacity of nonprofit leaders often surpass that of their corporate counterparts. Her insights serve as a powerful reminder that leadership is about creating systems and relationships that enable collective success. Join us for this enlightening discussion that encourages nonprofit leaders to stay open to opportunities and leverage the knowledge present in their communities for lasting impact.

Justin Bieber Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Justin Bieber has spent the past few days writing a surprisingly intimate little chapter in his biography, blending domestic calm, fashion hustle, and a touch of awards-season heat. People magazine reports that on August 17 he dropped a fresh Instagram carousel, headlined by a kiss with Hailey at a Los Angeles Dodgers game, the couple seated right behind home plate in full view of MLB cameras. In that same post, he quietly underscored his evolution into family man, sharing a rare cuddle shot with their nearly two year old son Jack Blues while still keeping the childs face hidden, a continuation of the Biebers deliberate privacy line around their child according to outlets like People and Polish site Dzień Dobry TVN. The New York Post's sports desk and MLB's own social feeds add the color that Justin and Hailey turned that Dodgers Brewers matchup into a very public date day, smiling, snacking, and slipping into easy PDA as cameras caught Justin wrapping an arm around his wife. Lifestyle sites including Just Jared and Reality Tea zeroed in on the optics, noting Hailey's sheer white tee and matching Dodgers cap and Justin's relaxed game day fit, framing the outing as another carefully casual but very visible appearance at a moment when fans remain fascinated by the state of their marriage. Meanwhile, Billboard Canada reports that Justin's track Yukon has been nominated for Best R and B at this year's MTV VMAs, a nugget with real long term biographical weight as it extends his awards narrative well into his thirties and shows he remains competitive in a genre he has spent a decade helping to blur and reshape. On the business front, fashion and sneaker press including Hypebeast, Design Scene, and Boardroom say Justin used social media to officially unveil the SKYLRK Sensory Runner, a new sneaker he describes as four years in the making and the next big step in his footwear brand. Details like pricing and release date are still unannounced, but multiple outlets emphasize that the silhouette signals a deepening of his role as designer entrepreneur, not just celebrity collaborator. There are also lower level sightings, like a Pilates run with Hailey in Bel Air reported by fan and gossip pages, but these remain more about routine than revelation. There are no credible reports in the past 24 hours of new music releases, tour announcements, or major personal upheavals; anything suggesting otherwise on fan accounts should be treated as speculation unless and until confirmed by major outlets or Justin's own channels. For now, the story of this week is a settled but very visible family life, a serious push into fashion with SKYLRK, and an awards nod that quietly reinforces his staying power.

Ondo's founder died at 32, and now his mother and its ousted president are fighting for control.

Visit 1inch.com  to swap tokenized securities, crypto and more. Simple. Secure. Self-custodial. Whatever asset you're buying - swap it at 1inch.com ======================================================== Ondo Finance co-founder and CEO Nathan Allman died suddenly this summer at 32, leaving the real-world-asset tokenizer with zero sitting directors and two people claiming to run the company: ousted president Ian De Bode, and Allman's mother Kathleen, acting for his estate. Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, Jessi Brooks, and Vy Le use the fight to unpack a problem that has nothing to do with crypto and everything to do with it: what happens when a fast-growing company never writes down a succession plan. They also cover the White House's new frontier AI oversight framework, which officials confirm exists but will not publish, a proposed FDIC and OCC certification that would let a fintech satisfy every bank's diligence questions at once, and the CLARITY Act's newly scheduled September 15 cloture vote, squeezed into a narrow window before midterms. Vy Le asks the harder question underneath all three stories: can boundaries this important really be left voluntary?

Raveesh Dewan is the President and CEO of Joget Inc., a technology company that provides an open, AI-powered low-code platform for building, automating, and integrating enterprise applications. Under his leadership, Joget has continued to expand as a global enterprise platform used by Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and organizations across more than 100 countries. Before joining Joget, Raveesh held executive roles at CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, helping shape its business and technology roadmaps. His work centers on digital transformation, open innovation, and responsible enterprise AI adoption. In this episode… Organizations face a critical challenge: modernizing legacy systems without sacrificing speed, security, or flexibility. As AI transforms enterprise software development, how can businesses accelerate digital transformation while staying in control? For Raveesh Dewan, an engineer, open-source advocate, and enterprise technology leader, the answer lies in combining low-code development with AI while keeping organizations in control of their technology. He highlights that simply automating inefficient processes only creates faster inefficiencies, making process improvement just as important as automation. From helping a telecommunications company replace a legacy ERP system in under nine months to enabling a hospice to digitize patient records and improve patient care, he demonstrates how visual application development can solve complex business challenges. Raveesh also explains the rise of "vibe composition," the advantages of open-source platforms, and how reusable applications help organizations innovate more quickly without sacrificing governance or scalability. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, host Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with Raveesh Dewan, President and CEO of Joget Inc., to discuss building AI-powered enterprise application platforms. They explore how to avoid the pitfalls of automating broken processes, replace legacy ERP systems with low-code solutions, and use AI-driven visual app composition to accelerate innovation.

In 1984, the Walt Disney Company was worth more dead than alive. Disney Animation — the heart of Walt's famous flywheel — had stagnated for years, bleeding away talent while corporate raiders circled, salivating over offers to sell off the film library to MGM and offload the parks to hotel operators. But what followed instead was the greatest turnaround in media history under Michael Eisner and Frank Wells. Beauty and the Beast. The Lion King. Broadway. Bringing the Disney Vault home on VHS and DVD. And the greatest media acquisition of all time — ESPN.And then... it all almost fell apart. Again. Euro Disney turned into a money pit. Boardroom and executive infighting ran rampant. Animation descended into a dumpster fire. (Remember Chicken Little? Us neither.) Comcast — Comcast!! — tried to steal the company via a hostile takeover. Out of the chaos, a new generation of Disney management emerged under Bob Iger to stage yet another epic comeback with Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm, creating the defining media empire of the 21st century…until the tech companies came along.

Nick addresses the crucial question of when and how growing businesses need to evolve their finance function beyond basic bookkeeping. He breaks down the three progressive stages of business finance—from startup scorekeeping to high-growth strategic leadership—and reveals why relying on past data rather than forward-looking forecasting quietly stalls growth, shrinks margins, and limits overall company valuation. KEY TAKEAWAYS Finance must scale alongside commercial functions: Operating a growing business on a basic bookkeeping setup creates a critical strategic gap because bookkeepers only report past results rather than shaping future growth. Growth consumes cash faster than profit replaces it: Tight cash flow in a rapidly expanding company is a normal structural mechanic that requires forward-looking 13-week forecasting to prevent sudden capital crunches. A mature finance team requires three distinct layers: High-value companies separate transactional reporting, financial control, and strategic leadership (CFO) to ensure both accuracy and long-term planning. Strategic finance drives enterprise value and deal readiness: External investors and buyers expect a finance leader who can independently defend future projections, optimise pricing, and strategically allocate capital. BEST MOMENTS "The final whistle tells you the result. What it never does is help you win the game while it's still being played." "A blended margin averages your best work with the worst, and hands you back a number that looks acceptable." "Growth consumes cash faster than profit replaces it." "A finance chief who can only describe the past is, to be frank, a very expensive historian." VALUABLE RESOURCES Want to grow and scale your business?

The $48 Gap Between You and a Million Dollar Salon A million dollars in revenue. You've said the number. You've thought about it on a Sunday night. And then Monday hits, and it feels further away than ever. It's not. And in this episode, Larissa Macleman, founder of Salon Owners Collective and Salon Mastery, and Joel Bouzaid, Boardroom and Leadership Coach, sit down in Thailand and do the actual maths. Not the motivational version. The version that makes you realise the gap is far smaller than you think, and far more specific than you've been told. $48 an hour. That's the gap. But closing it requires three systems most salon owners don't have installed. Larissa and Joel break down each one, why they matter, and what happens when they're missing. What you'll discover in this episode: The $48 breakdown that turns a million dollar goal from someday into this yearWhy your team keeps leaving, even when your culture is strong, and what that really tells youWhat a career pathway actually looks like inside a salon (and why running without one is like asking your team to sprint a race with no finish line)The talent development shift that means you stop saying "do better" and start seeing measurable resultsHow one tool changed everything in Larissa's salon after years of having the same conversationWhat the mentoring rhythm looks like when it's working, and what most salon owners are missing This episode is for any salon owner who has written down a revenue goal and then spent the rest of the year wondering why the number barely moved. The answer is simpler than you think. And it starts with $48. APPLY FOR SALON MASTERY: Ready to stop winging it and build a real strategy for your salon? Apply for Salon Mastery now.

Have you ever met someone named Lucy and thought, "She really looks like a Lucy"? As strange as it sounds, scientists have discovered there may be more truth to that feeling than you realize. Your name may actually influence the way you look—or at least the way other people see you. Listen as I explain this fascinating research and what it reveals about the surprising connection between names and faces.https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2405334121 We all give away far more than we think. Tiny facial expressions, subtle gestures, the way we sit, stand, or even touch our face can reveal confidence, nervousness, deception, attraction, and much more. Once you know what to look for, it's almost impossible not to notice these hidden signals. Joining me is Peter Collett, a social psychologist who taught at Oxford University and is internationally recognized for his expertise in human behavior and nonverbal communication. He is author of How To Tell What People Are Thinking From the Bedroom to the Boardroom (https://amzn.to/3WVytDM). This conversation is packed with practical insights that can help you read people more accurately in everyday life. What is the brightest thing in the universe? The stickiest substance? The loudest sound? The coldest place? The fastest, slowest, biggest and smallest things imaginable? Nature has some astonishing record holders—and many of them are far stranger than fiction. David Darling, science writer, astronomer, and author of nearly 50 books, including Ka-boom!: The Science of Extremes (https://amzn.to/3X5gTgJ), takes us on a tour of the most incredible extremes in science, nature, and the universe. You'll come away with a collection of facts you'll be repeating to people for weeks. Why does food often seem to taste better after a simple ritual—like singing "Happy Birthday" before eating cake? It turns out the ritual itself may be changing your experience in ways you never realized. Listen as I explain the surprising psychology behind this effect and why small rituals can make everything from meals to everyday experiences more enjoyable.https://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/releases/to-savor-the-flavor-perform-a-short-ritual-first.html PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS WAYFAIR: Ready to upgrade your home for way less?

In this episode, we're joined by Nicholas Janni, leadership coach and co-author of Leading in Chaos, for a thoughtful conversation about what it takes to lead effectively in times of uncertainty and constant change. We explore why inner work is essential for modern leadership, discussing the power of presence, focus, authentic connection, and letting go of the need to control what cannot be controlled. Nicholas shares insights from Leading in Chaos on how leaders can cultivate deeper listening, create space for honest dialogue, and remain grounded as technology continues to reshape the workplace. We also examine the importance of slowing down internally, embracing trauma-informed leadership, and seeking coaching, mentoring, and psychologically safe environments that enable leaders to process challenges with greater clarity, courage, and authenticity.

This episode flips the script. Instead of Larry hosting, Marc Hildebrand, one of the top coaches in the Dad Edge Business Brotherhood, a 20-year LAPD veteran, life coach, and founder of Modern Leadership, sits Larry down and interviews him. The jumping-off point is a hard statistic: most men are lonely, and the majority don't have a single friend they could call at 3am. Larry opens up about the mastermind that changed his life eleven years ago, the "cost of doing nothing" question that got him to say yes, the BRAVE MAN system his Boardroom runs on, and the August 2017 morning his wife told him he was losing her. If you're a man who's surrounded by people but still feels alone, or a business owner pouring everything into work while the rest of your life drifts, this one is a roadmap.   Timeline Summary [1:02] – The loneliness statistic and why Larry isn't surprised it's that high [3:17] – Marc introduces Larry and the role-reversal format [7:04] – The first mastermind eleven years ago and mentor Aaron Walker [8:45] – Rusty relationships and why "fine, good, busy" keeps men shallow [10:03] – The $500-a-month invitation that sounded like snake oil [11:55] – The question that changed everything: the cost of doing nothing [13:45] – Sitting with the chills, imagining life a year out, and calling back in 12 minutes [16:24] – What pulled Larry to lean in instead of talking himself out of it [19:03] – "Show me your calendar and I'll show you what's important to you" [22:59] – Why it's never the business, it's the person running the business [25:41] – The BRAVE MAN system explained category by category [29:53] – Why the room, not just the strategies, is what gets men to change [30:52] – The black belt lesson: that's when the training actually begins [35:02] – Attracting your wife back to you instead of chasing [36:22] – The August 2017 morning Jessica said "you're losing me" [40:30] – Masculine and feminine energy, and helping your wife soften [44:11] – Inside the quarterly Goal Setting Intensive [47:19] – Why the Boardroom is only 20-25% about business [50:26] – Living an "and" life instead of an "or" life [52:36] – The Dad Edge core values, read in full for the first time [58:04] – Who the room is for, and how to join the intensive   5 Key Takeaways The Cost of Doing Nothing — When weighing an investment in yourself, the real question isn't the price. It's what your life looks like a year from now if you change nothing at all. It's Never the Business — Entrepreneurs blame the business for their disconnection, burnout, and lost health. The hidden truth is that it's the person running the business, and reactivity is the pattern to break. Attract, Don't Chase — Chasing your spouse reads as needy, desperate energy. Leading from a grounded, positive masculine presence lets her soften and pulls her back toward you. Set "And" Goals, Not "Or" Goals — You don't have to choose between growing your business and connecting with your family. The right question is how one could actually strengthen the other. The Room Is the Gold — Skills and strategies matter, but transformation happens in a room of trusted men who share wins in detail, hold public accountability, and call each other forward.   Links & Resources Episode page and all links: https://thedadedge.com/1515 Join the Dad Edge Alliance: https://thedadedge.com/join Dad Edge Boardroom Goal Setting Intensive (July 31, 8am central, 10 guest spots): https://thedadedge.com/goals   Enjoyed This Episode?

Board question: the Index exists to be "free, for any use" — and here "any use" is an AI company bulk-harvesting a million hours to train on. Is that the deal working as designed, or does anything change? A live test of the open-index ethos. Ties straight to the on-device/namespace fight below and to the spam/AI-slop lane — the same extraction pressure from three directions.
