Resilience is the new currency of leadership. In a world where misinformation spreads faster than facts, brands, leaders, and governments are being tested like never before. In this episode of Change Makers, we speak to Ben LaBolt, former White House Communications Director and now President at BPI. With experience spanning the West Wing, City Hall, and global boardrooms, Ben shares insights into how organisations can navigate today's fractured media landscape. At the heart of our conversation is BPI's Resilience Index - groundbreaking research revealing what separates the brands that survive and thrive from those left vulnerable to misinformation and public mistrust. Drawing on lessons from politics and the private sector, Ben offers a blueprint for how leaders can strengthen their communications and build lasting reputational resilience.

Over the years, American colleges and universities have made various efforts to provide prisoners with access to education. However, few of these outreach programs presume that incarcerated men and women can rise to the challenge of a truly rigorous college curriculum. The Bard Prison Initiative is different.In his book, College in Prison: Reading in an Age of Mass Incarceration (Rutgers University Press, 2017), Daniel Karpowitz chronicles how, since 2001, Bard College has provided hundreds of incarcerated men and women across the country access to a high-quality liberal arts education. Earning degrees in subjects ranging from Mandarin to advanced mathematics, graduates have, upon release, gone on to rewarding careers and elite graduate and professional programs. Yet this is more than just a story of exceptional individuals triumphing against the odds. It is a study in how the liberal arts can alter the landscape of some of our most important public institutions giving people from all walks of life a chance to enrich their minds and expand their opportunities.Drawing on fifteen years of experience as a director of and teacher within the Bard Prison Initiative, Daniel Karpowitz tells the story of BPI's development from a small pilot project to a nationwide network. At the same time, he recounts dramatic scenes from in and around college-in-prison classrooms pinpointing the contested meanings that emerge in moments of highly-charged reading, writing, and public speaking. Through examining the transformative encounter between two characteristically American institutions—the undergraduate college and the modern penitentiary—College in Prison makes a powerful case for why liberal arts education is still vital to the future of democracy in the United States. Interviewee: Daniel Karpowitz has worked on public and private sector systems change for over twenty-five years. He is the former director of policy and academics for the Bard Prison Initiative and the cofounder of the Consortium for the Liberal Arts in Prison, an organization that launches and cultivates college-in-prison programs across the country.

Episode Notes One of Pride Connection's most inspiring and thought-provoking conversations was with then-Senate aide Laurel Hilbert—a shining example of courage, conviction, and the strength of the human spirit. In this episode, we revisit Laurel's extraordinary journey: from leaving his home country of Syria, to his time in Saudi Arabia, to arriving in the United States knowing only a few words of English—but armed with drawings, dreams, and unstoppable determination. Laurel speaks passionately about the universal truths of democracy, the resilience of the human condition, and what becomes possible when we align our spirit and purpose. But this conversation isn't just about where he's been—it's also about where he's going. Since the passing of his mentor and friend, the late Senator Dianne Feinstein—whom many of us remember as a fighter for justice and democracy—Laurel has taken time away from politics and even from the United States. In this deeply personal update, he shares his own version of an Eat, Pray, Love journey: finding love, learning how to live within grief, and reconnecting with his purpose. Now studying for finals and preparing for the LSAT, Laurel took time out of his busy schedule to reconnect with us, reflect on where life has taken him, and share why he still believes in the future of this country, our intersectional communities, and humanity itself. This powerful and timely episode is a reminder that strength comes in many forms—and that hope, when nurtured, can carry us through even the darkest times. Have thoughts or questions?

In this episode of the Building HVAC Science Podcast, Bill Spohn and Eric Kaiser interview Jake Yurek, the co-founder of Pearl Edison, a platform designed to simplify the installation of energy-efficient systems for homeowners and contractors. Jake shares the origins of the company's name, inspired by Thomas Edison's first power station on Pearl Street, and explains how Pearl Edison partners with trusted entities like utilities and city governments to facilitate HVAC installations. Their approach aims to reduce customer acquisition costs for contractors while improving the decision-making process for homeowners.

Join Marquette as she interviews Eric Bennett,Managing Partner at Brain Capital Partners. Eric launched Brain Capital Partners and the Brain Superfund in 2025 to invest in brain science venture and growth capital. The Brain Superfund will focus on investing in companies in the areas of mental health and related disorders, Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases, brain injuries such as concussions and strokes, health and wellness to enhance mental health and brain performance, and longevity. Companies will include those that offer new drugs and other therapeutics, neuro technology and devices, diagnostics, digital health, and clinical access. By investing in innovative companies with proven science, we aim to accelerate the development of breakthrough treatments and technologies that improve the quality of life and brain performance. The Fund's goal is to provide strong investment returns for our investors and make a meaningful societal impact.Eric began working with John Tolleson's single-family office in 1998 before co-founding Tolleson Wealth Management in 2000. He was Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Investment Committee, and Board Member, growing the firm from 3 people to 150.Eric's passion for brain science was accelerated in 2013, when he left Tolleson to become the founding Executive Director of the Brain Performance Institute (BPI) at the Center for BrainHealth – part of The University of Texas at Dallas. BPI focused on scaling evidence-based cognitive neuroscience programs and assessments, developed at the Center for BrainHealth, to larger populations. He was on the advisory board at the Center for BrainHealth for ten years and joined full-time in 2013 in a leadership role to build and grow BPI.

No setor bancário, a inovação deixou de ser um extra para se tornar uma necessidade. No BPI, essa transformação começou há três anos com a criação da Direção de Inovação, reforçada mais recentemente pelo Centro de Excelência para a Inteligência Artificial (IA).De blockchain e metaverso à IA, o foco do BPI tem sido testar, adaptar e criar soluções que tornem os processos mais eficientes e melhorem a experiência dos clientes. O Pulsoo, desenvolvido com a NOS, é um exemplo desta abordagem colaborativa, simplificando a relação das pequenas empresas com o sistema financeiro.A inovação começa dentro de casa, com uma cultura que incentiva novas ideias e procura soluções reais para desafios concretos. "A inovação não é vista como algo isolado, mas como parte do ADN do banco", afirma Teresa Silva e Sousa, diretora de Inovação do BPI.

Estava disponível para fazer parte de um governo? “Não, não, não… mudassem as regras, sim. Porque não estou disponível para fazer parte do circo”, afirmou João Pedro Oliveira e Costa, presidente do BPI neste podcast ‘O Mistério das Finanças', conduzido pelos jornalistas António Costa e Pedro Santos Guerreiro. Há 34 anos no BPI, o gestor falou de banca, e do Novobanco, mas também de política e do Papa Francisco.

The following was a clip from a recent presentation, where I discuss the importance of data in improvement (seems obvious, yet not always present). I also share the unique situation that happened in the 1948 Presidential Election when polling data was biased towards the candidate that lost. As I dug deeper into this story, I don't see where they specifically mention the phone, but there was a problem with the accuracy of the polling. It also mentions that Truman was gaining momentum late in the election, and that wasn't reflected in the polls. Nonetheless, the Chicago Tribune ran their infamous headline that Dewey had won the election, when Truman actually won.You can learn more about that strange election at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_United_States_presidential_electionLearn more about BPI 7 Continuous Improvement Best Practices: ⁠https://mail.biz-pi.com/lss-best-practices-funnel⁠ Need help in your organization, or want to discuss your current work situation?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Let's talk!

The CHGO Bulls crew discuss Jonathan Givony's fresh Top 100 for the 2025 NBA Draft class, which has Duke's Cooper Flagg ranked #1. Flagg has been the consensus number one for awhile, despite being a 17-years-old freshman at Duke. Is he the prospect with superstar potential the Bulls desperately need? ESPN's first BPI rankings of the season dropped and the Bulls are surprisingly projected for 38 wins. Is the projection higher than it should be given the roster changes? Or are the Bulls going to be better than most expect? If they are that good, does that risk the chance of drafting Flagg or another high lottery pick? Matt and Will break it down on this edition of the CHGO Bulls Podcast.
