By J.M. Auron Quantum Tech Resumes These days, apparently, most job seekers are afraid of the Big Bad ATS. And, with the endless drumbeat of horror stories about the ATS destroying careers? It's pretty understandable that people are nervous. So I'd like to follow up my earlier post on IT resume misinformation, and try to relieve some of the anxiety that's come to surround Applicant Tracking Systems. Now, don't get me wrong. ATS systems are far from ideal. But I believe - based on many years as a professional IT resume writer, as well as my own research - that the ATS may not be the bogeyman it's often made out to be. What is ATS and how to deal with it People often see "getting through the ATS" as the biggest challenge in the job search. It's really not, though. Getting through the ATS - and I know this goes against the conventional "wisdom" - isn't that difficult, and shouldn't be the focus of your resume writing. So let's break it down a bit. 1) Getting Through the ATS isn't that Hard I know. I just said that. It bears repeating, though, given the fear-mongering online and on social media. From the research I've done, 80%-95% of all decently written, decently formatted resumes get through the gatekeeper. Decently formatted just means a simple, readable, reverse chronological framework with clear section headings. The problem comes when there are multiple columns, tables, graphics, or very unusual fonts. The ATS can't read that, but, honestly, they're hard for humans to read, too. So keeping things simple, clear, and straightforward is likely to improve your chances with both the ATS and the humans who are really making the decisions. 2) You Don't Need a 100% Keyword Match In fact, a keyword match that high (if it's even possible) looks over-optimized, as though you've just copied and pasted the job description. Recruiters are hip to that - so even if you do get through the ATS with an overly optimized IT resume, you may well not get past the human being making the decision. It's a bit like Google. Keyword stuffing is more likely to get a site lowered rather than raised. The general rule of thumb is that you need a keyword match around 70%-80%. That's not really that hard, though it sounds like a high number. If you're a Cloud Architect, for example, a lot of what you've done is going to overlap with any decently written job description (I know, of course, that not all are decently written, but that's not something we can control). So if you talk clearly about what you've done, and naturally weave in the skills and tools you've used, the keyword matching will actually happen fairly automatically. I'm not suggesting that you don't read job descriptions carefully, but focus on the places where all the job descriptions match, rather than on a few outliers. 3) AI Hasn't Taken Over the Hiring Process! I'm not, in general, a big fan of AI - or at least of the AI hype we're all bombarded with. But from everything I can find, AI has not taken over ATS systems. They are still pretty close to what they've always been. AI is used to automate some tasks nowadays. More importantly, AI may be used for more semantic keyword matching - "cloud computing" can now match "AWS expertise" - for example. That's actually a positive; semantic keyword matching makes writing a resume that reads naturally much, much easier. But AI has not become a demonic (or hopelessly inefficient) entity committed to destroying your careers. It's not even mucking up the works as much as in some other areas - at least at this point. Bottom Line? There's a lot to be concerned about in the job search. Things aren't easy. But the hype about the Big Bad ATS, in my view, is just adding to the many worries that job seekers already have. That's not a good thing. So I recommend writing a good, solid, clear IT resume that tells your career story. If you do that well, the keywords - and the ATS - should take care of themselves. Bio: I'm J.M. Auron and I've owned one of the to...

In this Voices of Her roundtable, host Tiffany Anton is joined by co-hosts Ashley Michael (Plenty Downtown Bookshop) and Teá Phillips (Metaflex) to talk about legacy and impact—how to build more than a balance sheet. They dig into company culture in a startup where everyone wears many hats, why retaining great people requires real investment (hello, StrengthsFinder), and how product decisions tie to ethics and sustainability. Ashley shares how a nonprofit bookstore can be a true third space while testing a replicable model for communities, and Teá explains Metaflex's expanded product options, responsible pricing, and why the company moved into Canada amid rising import tariffs. Plus: “Boss Babe Brags” shout-outs to local founders and sustainable retail, and “Get It Girl” wins—from Plenty's Jane Austen–themed gala to Biz Foundry's pitch night. A candid conversation about measuring impact beyond revenue and leaving something that lasts. www.poweredbyhercommunity.com
Preventing Childhood Sexual Abuse What if the one conversation you've been avoiding is the one that could save your child's life? Join Kristina Campos, founder of The Impactful Parent, as she tackles one of the most critical and difficult subjects in parenting: preventing childhood sexual abuse (CSA Prevention). In this must-watch episode, Kristina sits down with special guest Dr. Bronwen Carroll, a pediatric emergency medicine physician, mother of four, and passionate advocate for Child Protection. Dr. Carroll has treated countless victims in the ER and believes this issue is a public health crisis because 1 in 10 children experience abuse before age 18 [00:47]. The shocking truth is that child predators are overwhelmingly people the child knows and trusts—often the "nicest guy you know" [08:20]. Learn the essential, practical strategies that every parent needs to know to keep their kids safe, including how to: Implement the "No Secrets Rule": Dr. Carroll shares the single most important piece of language you can teach your child—Adults do not ask children to keep secrets—and how to roleplay an exit strategy [14:13]. Recognize Grooming Behaviors: Discover the predictable pattern that predators follow, from benign secrets to desensitization, so you can stop it before it starts [19:35]. Create a Culture of Open Communication: Learn how to talk to your kids about bodily autonomy and safety from preschool through high school, and how the powerful concept of "holding both" helps kids disclose when the abuser is someone they love [25:35]. Address Complex Dynamics: We dive deep into crucial areas like the dynamics of sibling sexual abuse and equipping teenagers to navigate teen dating violence and the pressure to send nudes. This conversation is not about fear, but about fostering child safety and empowering children through awareness and preparation. Tune in to empower your family and help change an epidemic!

On Episode 235 of The Unique CPA, Lori shares how a single phone call, received in the shadow of personal loss, sparked a partnership that would reshape a major accounting firm's culture.

Today we're talking about the challenges facing farm businesses after two very difficult years of crop establishment and a dry summer that has left many under significant financial pressure. That's the picture here in the UK, but globally we're seeing record harvests - and it's not just arable enterprises under strain. Livestock producers have been severely affected too. So, what can farmers do to navigate this period and build resilience? To explore that question, we're joined by Lucy Braithwaite-Exley Scotland Origination Manager with Bunge, and Paul Pickford, Farm Business Consultant. This episode covers:Create a Clear Financial Plan Build a realistic budget and gross margin analysis to guide decisions and secure financial support. This helps manage cash flow and ensures you're prepared for seasonal input costs.Engage Early with Local Buyers and Merchants Identify local market demand to reduce haulage costs and improve profitability. Regularly speak with merchants and traders to align crop choices with buyer needs.Diversify Marketing Strategies Use tools like grain pools to manage price volatility and ensure movement and payment for a portion of your crop. This reduces risk and improves financial predictability.Adapt Cropping Based on Market Signals Monitor shifts in demand (e.g. reduced distilling sector needs in Scotland) and adjust crop rotations accordingly - consider alternatives like oats, rye, or oilseed rape where viable.Leverage Sustainable Practices for Financial Gain Implement strategies like reduced tillage, cover cropping, and efficient nutrition to unlock environmental and financial benefits. Explore pilot projects and sustainability schemes that offer rewards.*Please note: This podcast was recorded on 13th October 2025, and market prices may have changed since then.
Trump's Gaza plan is in danger of going the way of the Oslo Accords, argues US journalist Chris Hedges: Never to be implemented beyond the first phase. Hedges tells host Steve Clemons that there are no guarantees that the US-brokered deal “will actually thwart the genocidal project that Israel is intending to carry out in Gaza and … the West Bank”. While a parade of US officials visited Israel to signify commitment to the ceasefire, Israel continued to restrict food and medicine to millions of Palestinians, and Israeli forces continued to occupy more than half of the Gaza Strip.

In this episode, Brent Wheat and Roy Huntington discuss the relevance and advantages of pistol caliber carbines (PCCs) in today's firearms landscape. They explore their effectiveness for home defense, the importance of training, and the simplicity of operation that makes them suitable for novice shooters. The conversation also touches on real-world experiences with firearms, the significance of choosing the right weapon for self-defense, and the need for ongoing practice and familiarity with firearms. Takeaways Pistol caliber carbines can be polarizing in the shooting community. They are often overlooked in favor of short-barreled AR platforms. PCCs can be effective for home defense, especially for novices. Shooting a PCC at night can be less disorienting than other firearms. Training and familiarity with firearms are crucial for effective use. Real-world experiences highlight the effectiveness of PCCs in various situations. Choosing the right firearm should consider comfort and ease of use. Simplicity in firearm operation is essential for self-defense situations. It's important to focus on training rather than just the firearm itself EPISODE SPONSOR The Guns Podcast is presented by Ruger Firearms.

The US has forced Israel to end its war on Gaza, but now the challenge is “to be engaged every single day, several times a day” to make sure the ceasefire holds, says Israeli American activist Gershon Baskin, the cofounder of Alliance for Two States. Baskin tells host Steve Clemons that President Donald Trump was convinced by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel could force the Palestinians to surrender, but over time, it became obvious that “Hamas will never surrender.” Baskin predicts “there will be an awakening in Israel that we can't keep doing this ... military strategies don't work any more.”
When Your Child Makes Bad Choices Are you constantly feeling disappointed by your child's choices, wondering why they just won't listen? In this powerful, impromptu episode of The Impactful Parent podcast, your host, Kristina Campos, dives deep into the heart of parental disappointment and how we can flip the script to achieve a more harmonious relationship with our kids. If you have a strong-willed child or are parenting teenagers, this conversation is absolutely vital for you! Kristina unpacks the concept that often, the pain we feel when a child makes a bad choice is not a betrayal by them, but an expectation violation within ourselves. She breaks down the fascinating psychological concept of projection bias —the tendency to assume our kids think, care, and act based on our values instead of their own developing mental models and needs. As parents, we instill values, but as our teens seek autonomy, they inevitably begin to create their own value system. When their choices clash with ours—whether it's about screen time battles, academics/grades, or other instances of a teenager making bad choices—it's easy to take it personally. Kristina challenges us to move past the blame game. The key to influencing your child's behavior is to "observe more" and stop shutting down. Instead of asking, "Why aren't you listening?" we need to ask critical questions to truly understand their own values and needs behind their decision-making. By separating what your child does from what you wanted them to do, you can foster a stronger relationship and become a more impactful parent. Tune in for invaluable parenting advice that will help you let go of frustration, prevent you from losing the relationship with your kids, and build better communication with your child. Key takeaways from this episode: Why your parental expectations are letting you down, not your child. How to respond when your child's values are misaligned with your own. The critical shift from accusation to observation. LINKS MENTIONED IN THE RECORDING https://theimpactfulparent.com/app Download the FREE Impactful Parent App!

Two people are discussing their impact: Alice: "I went vegan, buy only secondhand, bike everywhere, and donate 5% of my nonprofit salary to animal charities." Bob: "I work in finance, eat whatever, and donate 40% of my income to animal charities." Who gets more social approval? Alice. Who prevents more animal suffering? Bob—by orders of magnitude. Alice's choices improve welfare for hundreds of animal-years annually through diet change and her $2,500 donation. Bob's $80,000 donation improves tens of thousands of animal-years through corporate campaigns.

Arguing that some places in the United States – primarily those governed by Democratic officials – are rampantly crime-infested, President Donald Trump has been deploying military forces to cities from Los Angeles to Washington, DC. Former National Security Council official Kori Schake tells host Steve Clemons that Trump is trying to enlist the US military to get involved in his culture war issues, such as immigration and political dissent. She warns that US forces should be kept out of politics “so that the American public continues to have confidence and trust in the military”.
Just listened to a fabulous podcast from Ben Rogers and his “Bottom Line” podcast. This episode was called “Tuesday Short: Truckers Block” Find Ben: (@ben_rajas53) BUILD Coaching Company, LLC - buildthearmy.com. The whole premise was connected to author Steve Chandler and his description about what “Trucker's Block” is all about. “Is there something called Trucker's Block where a driver wakes up and finds his mood isn't right for driving today? No. A trucker drives his truck no matter what his energy or hope levels are.” In this very short podcast (less than 90 seconds), it got me thinking about how many of my activities could I attach this definition to, so my mood wouldn't be a factor. I have a lot of work to figure this out - what about you? To me, I see the value of this for me to do. Listen to Ben's episode a few times. In fact, listen to more of his podcast episodes as he always brings plenty to think about in order for us to become the best versions of ourselves. Thanks for listening.

In this heartful episode of Secrets of Tomorrow's Leaders, host Noah Morrow sits down with Brittany Barlog, the 2025 President of JCI Santa Clarita, for an intimate and wide-ranging conversation about the deeply personal and community-driven theme of her presidential year: "Value". Brittany opens up about the origins of her word of the year, touching on the fear of being misunderstood and the power of being seen for who you truly are. She shares how that vulnerability translates into her leadership approach—creating space for others to thrive as they are, planting seeds of growth through support, and honoring the unique strengths every person brings to the organization.Together, Noah and Brittany explore how grace, humility, and legacy shape authentic leadership. From Brittany's reflections on her caregiving role for her sister to Noah's journey into social interest rooted in his relationship with his brother, the episode beautifully weaves personal growth with community impact. They discuss the ripple effect of empowering others, how servant leadership fuels transformation, and why being human—and leading with love—might just be the secret to sustaining value far beyond the walls of JCI. Whether you're a seasoned leader or just finding your voice, this episode will inspire you to lead with intention and heart.
New tax law just handed breweries a playbook to keep more cash in the business—if you know how to use it. Today we're joined by Brent Williams, CPA and brewery tax manager at Small Batch Standard, to translate the One Big Brewery Bill (OB3) into clear, practical moves owners can make right now. From tips and overtime changes your team will feel on payday to the return of 100% bonus depreciation and immediate expensing for domestic R&D, we connect the dots between policy and day‑to‑day brewery operations.We dig into the details that matter: how to label tips vs service charges in payroll so employees get the refund they expect and you keep the FICA tip credit; which assets truly qualify for full expensing and how to time purchases for the best tax outcome; why 199A remains a powerful 20% deduction for pass‑through owners; and how R&D applies to more than new recipes—it includes process improvements that reduce waste, speed up turns, or enhance quality. Brent also walks through retro choices for previously capitalized R&D costs, plus often‑missed credits like paid family and medical leave and small employer retirement plan incentives.If you're a small or mid‑size brewery planning equipment, considering a production build‑out, or just trying to make payroll and taxes play nicely, this conversation turns complexity into a checklist. Bring clean books, schedule a projection meeting, and map out 2025 vs 2026 moves so depreciation, credits, and cash flow align. OB3 isn't just policy—it's a strategy to fund growth without squeezing margins.If this was helpful, follow the show, share it with a brewery friend, and leave a quick review so more owners can find it.

In this episode of the Changing Life & Destiny Podcast, CEO and visionary AL Pirnia explores a critical yet overlooked truth: corporate wellness as we know it isn't working. Despite billions spent each year on surface-level programs and quick fixes, burnout is rising, chronic illness is increasing, and leadership performance is suffering.AL shares his bold vision for a new approach — one that moves beyond reactive “sick care” to a proactive, preventative model focused on root causes. He explains why CEOs and executive teams are uniquely positioned to lead this transformation and how their health directly shapes the future of their companies.From addressing brain fog, stress, and poor sleep to reversing biological age and preventing chronic disease, Al reveals how functional medicine, advanced diagnostics, and cutting-edge wellness technologies can help leaders operate at their peak — and why this shift is essential for the longevity of both people and businesses.He also breaks down a little-known IRS-backed tax credit that allows companies with 10 or more employees to receive up to $500 per employee per year in “found money” — funds that can directly support executive health optimization and corporate wellness initiatives without adding to the bottom line.This conversation isn't just about living longer — it's about leading stronger, building more resilient organizations, and creating a new standard of health in corporate America.
The US plan to end Israel's war on Gaza is designed, supervised and administered “primarily by people who are very staunchly pro-Israel,” and has little chance of delivering peace, argues Stephen Walt, professor of international relations at Harvard University. “We've seen this movie before,” Walt tells host Steve Clemons. According to the terms announced by US President Donald Trump, Israel can argue at any time that the Palestinian side isn't fulfilling its obligations and thus resume the war. Increasingly seen as a threat by other countries in the region, Israel “is in for a very troubling future”, Walt says.

This episode is a must-watch for anyone who wants to better understand the complexities of addiction recovery, the myth of the "perfect mom," and the power of finding your voice.

Stuck in a business rut? Ready to make the tough call between doubling down or walking away? This episode of “It's The Bottom Line that Matters” pulls no punches. Hosts Jennifer Glass and Patricia Reszetylo team up with guest Daniel McCraine for a dynamic, practical conversation packed with real-world stories and brutally honest guidance on knowing when to “burn it down” or boldly pivot.Jennifer, Daniel, and Patricia break down the emotional traps that keep entrepreneurs hanging on too long—like the fear of quitting right before you strike gold, or the guilt of abandoning your “business baby.” They share how to read the signs in both service and product businesses, why you need to ruthlessly monitor cash flow and metrics, and how to identify when just one employee, product line, or process might be dragging you down. Patricia's firsthand story of pulling the plug on a struggling business provides no-nonsense insight into the moment when enough is enough.But this isn't generic “never give up” advice. The hosts emphasize that sometimes valor means letting go—and that freedom and growth come when you cut your losses based on clear-eyed metrics and honest self-assessment. You'll walk away with sharper confidence, clarity, and the reassurance that savvy entrepreneurs know when to pivot or persist.Speaker Bios:Jennifer Glass brings sharp insight and courageous candor, challenging listeners to be “ruthless” in business and not let sentimentality keep them stuck. She anchors the conversation, underlining the importance of decisive action, clear metrics, and always seeking out the smart exit ramp before it's too late.Daniel McCraine offers a wealth of experience from both entrepreneurial and acquisition perspectives. He expertly outlines common traps (like “sunk cost” fallacy and shiny object syndrome) and emphasizes cash flow and clear planning as the true bottom lines for any pivot or persevere decision. His practical strategies empower listeners to approach major business decisions with both heart and logic.Patricia Reszetylo gets real about tough decisions, sharing her own story of shutting down a business as a powerful teaching moment. Her down-to-earth style gives voice to the emotional side of entrepreneurship, reminding us that not giving up sometimes means letting go, and that the biggest competitive edge can be found in honest self-reflection.Keywords: business pivot, when to pivot, burn it down, entrepreneurship, business strategy, Jennifer Glass, Daniel McCraine, Patricia Reszetylo, business failure, business success, startup advice, service business, product business, bottom line, smart decision making, business podcast
