In this candid year-end conversation, John Byrne and Sarah Beth Felix dissect an unprecedented year in AML enforcement. Felix, President of Palmero Consulting and creator of "Dirty Money Weekly," describes what she sees as systematic dismantling of AML infrastructure despite stated priorities of combating fentanyl and transnational criminal organizations. With only four enforcement actions from traditional federal banking agencies compared to FINRA's 20+ penalties, the landscape has shifted dramatically. The discussion explores Treasury's proposal to give FinCEN veto authority over banking agency BSA decisions - a move Felix warns could create massive bottlenecks. They examine troubling patterns in recent OFAC sanctions penalties where entities disregard guidance while violations flow through traditional banks. Felix shares skepticism about AI replacing the "hyper suspicious" human judgment essential to AML work, noting AI tools consistently fail basic sanctions questions. The conversation addresses the stark gap between U.S. and European cryptocurrency regulation, with America applying 40-year-old money service business laws to digital assets while the EU has comprehensive frameworks like MiCA. Looking ahead to 2026, Felix urges AML officers to use reduced regulatory scrutiny strategically - eliminating legacy policies that waste time while remembering everything missed now can trigger future enforcement. She emphasizes focusing on cartels and foreign terrorist organizations, which now carry criminal liability for banking officers, and proactively auditing customer sanctions programs.

America is racing to build the infrastructure for an AI-powered economy. But as this generational investment accelerates, a critical question emerges: Are organizations truly ready to deploy AI at scale? While AI is everywhere in headlines, enterprise readiness remains uneven. Many companies are experimenting with AI, but far fewer have the data quality, governance structures, workforce skills, or sector-specific frameworks needed to adopt it responsibly and effectively. The gap between infrastructure and real-world deployment is growing — and closing it will determine whether AI strengthens competitiveness and expands opportunity across the economy. In this episode, guest host Brie Sachse, Senior Vice President & Head of Government Affairs for Siemens USA, sits down with Victoria Espinel, President & CEO of the Business Software Alliance (BSA), to explore how AI can be responsibly integrated across every sector of the economy. Together, they discuss what it takes to accelerate AI adoption in ways that strengthen competitiveness, expand opportunity, and build public trust. Victoria shares insights from BSA's global work on AI and digital transformation, while Brie discusses the strong benefits of AI adoption across all sectors of industry, where AI meets the physical world. Both Brie and Victoria reflect on how policymakers, employers, and technology leaders can work together to ensure AI provides benefits to organizations of all sizes. This episode offers a practical, optimistic look at the future of AI and why readiness, not hype, is the key to unlocking America's AI advantage.

Peter Van Valkenburgh is the Executive Director of Coin Center, a leading nonprofit research and advocacy group focused on cryptocurrency policy. In this episode, Peter joins The Bitcoin Frontier to explore why defending the right to self-custody is about much more than bitcoin — it's about the future of individual freedom, open-source innovation, and financial privacy. We dig into the parallels between the 1990s “crypto wars” and today's digital sovereignty battles, the threats facing developers of privacy tools, and the constitutional foundations for privacy and property in the digital age.SUPPORT THE PODCAST: → Subscribe → Leave a review → Share the show with your friends and family → Send us an email: podcast@unchained.com → Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=you... → Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?ut...TIMESTAMPS:0:00 – Intro and Peter's journey from acting to bitcoin policy2:00 – Discovering the cypherpunks and the roots of internet freedom4:00 – Entering bitcoin through law school and meeting Jerry Brito6:00 – Founding Coin Center and defining “permissionless innovation”9:00 – The mission: protecting the freedom to build and use open blockchains11:00 – Bitcoin's privacy problem and the legal risks of building privacy tech13:00 – Educating DC: explaining bitcoin to Congress in the early days16:00 – Navigating the SEC, ICOs, and defining what counts as a security18:30 – The evolution from education to constitutional litigation22:00 – Bitcoin as the revival of a “bearer instrument” economy26:00 – The “secret right to cash” and the Fourth Amendment's blind spot30:00 – Privacy, property, and what bitcoin reveals about constitutional limits35:00 – The Keep Your Coins Act and why it matters for financial sovereignty43:00 – The DOJ's shift toward prosecuting developers — and why it's dangerous46:00 – Inside the Tornado Cash and Samurai Wallet prosecutions50:00 – How Coin Center is fighting for software publishing rights54:00 – Legislative progress: Clarity, Keep Your Coins, and BRCA1:00:00 – Lessons from the 1990s encryption wars1:03:00 – How liability protections shaped (and centralized) the internet1:08:00 – The convenience dilemma: why self-custody must become easier1:12:00 – The Bank Secrecy Act, mass surveillance, and new legal challenges1:19:00 – Coin Center's constitutional lawsuits for privacy and association rights1:23:00 – Why the BSA is ripe for reform — and bitcoin's role in that debate1:27:00 – Zero-knowledge proofs, AML, and a future of privacy-preserving compliance1:29:00 – How self-custody wallets enable digital identity and personal sovereignty1:31:00 – Closing thoughts: bitcoin as the foundation for a freer digital futureWHERE TO FOLLOW US: → Unchained X: https://x.com/unchained → Unchained LinkedIn: / unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter → Joe Kelly's Twitter: https://x.com/josephkelly → Peter Van Valkenburgh's Twitter: https://x.com/valkenburgh
Title: Histological Whole Slide Scanning Reproducibility Study Authors: Hannah Benton, BSa, Tomoe Shiomi, MS, HTL(ASCP)CM, CT(IAC)CM, Fatma Farooqi, BSc, HTL(ASCP), Elizabeth A. Chlipala, BS, HTL(ASCP)QIHC and Luis Chiriboga, PhD, HT(ASCP)QIHC Abstract: Whole slide imaging (WSI) is an increasingly versatile method for capturing and sharing high-resolution digital images of stained histological slides. These images can be used for a variety of applications, including clinical diagnosis, pathology review, and image analysis. While many whole slide scanners exist with varying features tailored to different use cases, a critical factor across all platforms is the accuracy and reproducibility of the scanned images. To investigate scan consistency over time, a control slide was prepared using a tissue microarray stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E). Ink dots were applied to the slide to define a consistent scanning region. The slide was scanned 77 times over six months using an Aperio AT2 whole slide scanner at 40x magnification.Image analysis was performed using HALO software by Indica Labs. Both the entire scan area and individual tissue punches were analyzed to assess total stained area and stain intensity, quantified by optical density (OD) for both hematoxylin and eosin. A linear regression model was applied to data from all individual punches and the full scan region. Additionally, a two-way ANOVA was conducted to compare OD values of hematoxylin and eosin between the first 10 scans and the last 10 scans. Key findings were that hematoxylin showed a statistically significant decline in both stained areas and OD over time, while eosin demonstrated a statistically significant increase in stained area, but a decrease in OD. These results suggest potential degradation of staining quality or imaging consistency over time. Possible contributing factors include slide bleaching, light source variability, annotation region size, or other imaging conditions. These will be the focus of future investigations to better understand and control variability in longitudinal slide scanning studies.

Today on the show I get to chat with Amanda Marlowe! She guides thoughtful art experiences that ask kids life's big questions. She develops curriculum for nature non-profits schools, museums, and businesses. Amanda holds a BSA in Philosophy and Education from Skidmore College and is currently writing a children's book on death. Her business, Eco Art, is a thoughtful art experience on sustainability and impermanence for kids. A trash art offering designed to interact with the byproduct of creation. All bits and bobs upcycled. Materials supplied, though feel free to byot (bring your own trash)!Amanda shares how and why she began to work with children through the medium of upcycled art. It began really out of her own processing of her birth mother's death and a curiosity about what to do with her belongings. Our conversation touches on themes of grief, loss, letting go, and cycles of life. She also works with children who have lost a loved one, and works with a team of folks at Roula's Kids to support them through their grieving process. It feels important to mention that during our conversation, something opens up for me, and the tears began to flow. We left unresolved her resistance to the label artist, and are still unpacking what to do with the "shoulds" that surface from time to time. Clearly there's more for us to talk about. I could listen to her share her creative ideas for what to do with leftover toys and arts supplies for hours and am excited to try my hand at making paper!You can find her Mondays at CCE, High Meadow School and contact her for your kiddos special event or if you have items you think she might enjoy transforming with her clients.

Description: Psoriatic disease affects far more than just the skin. Hear leading dermatologist Dr. April Armstrong and Dr. Benoît Guérrette discuss this and more with Jensen, a patient advocate. Psoriatic disease affects not only the skin but it can impact confidence, emotional and social well-being, and daily life. In this episode, join moderator Dr. Guy Eakin, Chief Scientific and Medical Officer at NPF, as we explore the disconnect between clinical classifications of psoriasis and what patients experience in real-life with leading dermatologist Dr. April Armstrong, Dr. Benoît Guérrette, Vice President of Dermatology & Rheumatology at Takeda, and Jensen, a NPF patient advocate and former Lead Youth Ambassador. Listen as we address the need for a more nuanced approach to classifying disease severity that accounts for the holistic needs of psoriatic disease, as well as share insights into how advocacy and awareness can drive change in treatment access and care standards. The intent of this episode is to identify how clinical severity classifications of psoriasis are evolving to meet the needs of those who live with the disease and how that change impacts overall management. This episode is sponsored by Takeda. Timestamps: (0:00) Intro to Psoriasis Uncovered and guest welcome to dermatologist Dr. April Armstrong, Vice President of Takeda, Dr. Benoît Guérette, and patient advocate Jensen, who discuss the unmet needs of people with moderate psoriasis and how as a community we can better serve those living with the disease. 2:22 How health care providers and the biopharmaceutical industry are coming together to address systemic eligibility and the unmet needs of people living with psoriasis. 4:25 Quality of life should be included when assessing clinical severity in psoriasis and identification of appropriate treatment choices. 6:52 The impact of misdiagnosis, inappropriate treatment, and effect on high impact sites can be life- altering. 8:30 How appropriate treatment and knowledge can make all the difference when diagnosed with plaque psoriasis. 9:40 Views on the psoriasis disease classification system and how it's evolving to include real life impact from physical and emotional needs, to more personalized care for those living with psoriasis, even when small body surface areas are involved. Severity isn't defined by skin coverage alone. 12:38 What's needed to prioritize the care and outcomes of people living with psoriasis. 14:18 The future of management and care for psoriatic disease. 15:53 "My skin tells a story." Wisdom from what I wish I had known previously. 16:52 Moving closer to care that truly reflects the lives and needs of those who live with psoriasis. Key Takeaways: · Severity of psoriasis isn't defined by skin coverage or body surface area (BSA) alone. The impact on quality of life should also be considered in the assessment, selection of treatment, and management of the disease. · The psoriasis disease classification system is evolving to be more of a patient centered approach. Many clinicians are now using the International Psoriasis Council (IPC) or 2 bucket approach to identify whether someone should receive a topical or systemic treatment based on location and response to treatment, as well as impact on quality of life. · With continued research and development, the next 5 to 10 years could see a shift in effective treatment options while also treating sooner to initiate better outcomes for people living with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Guest Bios: April Armstrong, M.D., M.P.H. is an internationally renowned dermatologist and clinical researcher who is a Professor and Chief of Dermatology at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) where she specializes in inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Dr. Armstrong is also the Co-Director for Network Resources at the UCLA Clinical and Translational Research Institute. She has conducted over 150 clinical trials and published over 350 high impact articles in scientific journals. Dr. Armstrong holds multiple leadership positions including the immediate Past Chair of the National Psoriasis Foundation Medical Board, Co-President of the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA), councilor for the International Psoriasis Council, and board member for the International Dermatology Outcome Measures and the American Academy of Dermatology. Benoît Guérette, Ph.D. is an accomplished leader in medical affairs with extensive experience across academia and the pharmaceutical industry. Since March 2025, Dr. Guérette has served as Vice President of Dermatology and Rheumatology US Medical Affairs at Takeda Pharmaceutical. Prior to joining Takeda, he held several strategic and leadership roles at various pharmaceutical companies, including overseeing clinical development, global and U.S. medical affairs, global access & pricing, translational sciences and more. Before transitioning to the industry, Dr. Guérette was an Associate Professor of Immunology at Laval University, leading research in cancer immunology. He holds a Ph.D. in Medicine, Microbiology, and Immunology from Laval University and completed postdoctoral studies in Inflammation and Immunology at Harvard Medical School. Jensen is a volunteer and former Lead Youth Ambassador for the National Psoriasis Foundation. Jensen developed psoriasis at age 7 but wasn't formally diagnosed until age 14 being misdiagnosed along the way, trying different management approaches that were ineffective. She was a competitive swimmer from elementary through high school and in the last 2 years of high school played lacrosse. Upon finishing high school she attended college becoming a registered nurse in an intensive care unit. Jensen wants "youth living with psoriatic disease to feel a community that is behind them and with them every step of the way. I really want to be able to make a difference in a way that would've helped me as a child when I was diagnosed."

Recently, ACT Party MP, Laura McClure, has launched a member's bill, proposing the disestablishment of the Broadcasting Standards Authority, or BSA. This member's bill follows a complaint laid to the BSA regarding Sean Plunket's online media network, The Platform. Plunket says the content of his show does not meet the requirements of the Broadcasting Act, and that the BSA had “"woefully and egregiously overstepped its bounds". The BSA, however, says Plunket's show clearly meets the requirements of the ACT. News and Editorial Director Joel spoke to Peter Thompson, an Associate Media and Communications Professor at the Victoria University of Wellington and board member of the Better Public Media Trust, about this member's bill and what the bill is proposing.

Tell me how Broadcasting Minister Paul Goldsmith is going to sort the unsortable? The Broadcasting Standards Authority has, deliberately or not, opened a box of whoopee that is playing out all over the world in various forms. In simple terms regulators are trying to work out how to control tech. The problem with regulators is their jurisdiction is limited. The problem with tech is there is no border. The same way a Government isn't going to charge a tech company for nicking news and putting it on their websites, a broadcasting watchdog is not going to control Joe Rogan. The Prime Minister has already worked this out and said so Monday. But then the Broadcasting Minister, in that ponderous sort of surprise-ladened fashion that is unique to Goldsmith, started wondering out loud why the Herald NOW stream wasn't regulated while breakfast television was. That of course is the simple version of the problem. You are only dealing with the difference in transmission mode - terrestrial vs the internet. Next issue - if you are regulating the internet, what internet? Where does it stop and start? Local streaming? What is local streaming? If you are protecting an audience, surely you have to protect them universally? And yet you can't. Even if Goldsmith argues the line that things that look like radio or look like TV are captured, what if the radio consumed in New Zealand originates in London? Next problem - if you regulate the internet, where does that stop and start? Does a podcast look like radio? What about short form vs long form? What about local content on TikTok and, if so, why not all content on TikTok. Answer: because you can't. And if you can't, how is it fair to regulate my TikTok but not Piers Morgan's? Talk about a horse and bolting. Governments look old world. They look “AM” in an "FM" world. They look like they are trying to save letters from the internet. They look like control freaks who don't know how to save their powers. Rightly or wrongly making me adhere to rules while every half-baked weirdo on the net gets to say whatever they like is the cold, hard reality of the here and now. Save yourself the time and the headache and give it up. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Description: In this episode, we'll explore what it means to aim for no compromise in psoriatic arthritis care—addressing both skin and joint symptoms with dermatologist and rheumatologist Dr. Saakshi Khattri and patient advocate Dayna Pham who lives with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Join moderator Jeff Brown as he asks how patients and their healthcare providers can work in partnership to create a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan that reflects the full impact of psoriatic disease with triple board-certified dermatologist, rheumatologist, and internist Dr Saakshi Khattri, who is also an NPF medical board member, along with Dayna Pham, a patient advocate and volunteer with NPF's advocacy and community engagement teams who is living with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. . Whether you're newly diagnosed or navigating long-term care, this conversation is all about advocating for care that supports your whole self—without settling for less. The intent of this episode is to emphasize the need to be aware of psoriatic arthritis symptoms and once symptoms are present accept no compromise when treating skin and joints to obtain clear skin and painless joints. This podcast episode is sponsored by UCB. Timestamps: (0:23) Intro to Psoriasis Uncovered and guest welcome dermatologist, rheumatologist, and internist Dr. Saakshi Khattri and Dayna Pham, a patient advocate and medical student living with plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. (1:38) Psoriasis is more than skin deep with an inflammatory connection between the skin and joints. (3:03) The onset of psoriatic arthritis can be confusing. Healthy skin and joints should be the expectation without having to compromise on life's goals. (4:16) Knowing the association between psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis from the beginning is important to avoid delay in diagnosis and treatment. Be aware of systemic symptoms and discuss risks with a health care provider. (6:18 ) The goal of treatment is to achieve meaningful and lasting improvement in skin and joint symptoms. (7:56) Treatments have evolved to target known drivers of inflammation in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. (8:29) The IL-17 family is a key cytokine with 6 related signaling molecules. IL-17A and F play a role in the inflammatory process related to psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. (9:48) What discussion about treatment goals could include between a patient and health care provider. (13:19) If you have psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis you should feel empowered to speak up, seek answers, and find a treatment that offers no compromise on achieving clear skin and healthy joints. Key Takeaways: · Psoriasis is an immune mediated disease that results in systemic inflammation that can affect both the skin and joints. Unfortunately many people do not realize their joint symptoms may be related to their psoriasis. · The purpose of treatment which uses a variety of mechanisms of action targeting specific cytokines such as TNF-alpha, IL-12/23, IL-23, IL-17 is to achieve meaningful and lasting improvement in skin and joint symptoms. · If you have psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis you should feel empowered to speak up, seek answers, and to work with your health care team to identify goals and treatment choices that aim to preserve quality of life.

In this ICYMI article-read, i+s Editor-in-Chief Carrie Meadows unpacks the renewed federal design directive from her article, “Architectural Community Responds to Trump's Executive Order on Federal Design,” originally published on Sept. 3, 2025, and why it's drawing pushback across the A&D community. You'll hear a concise overview of the order's call for classical styles, a quick history lesson on the 1962 “Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture,” and how groups like AIA, ASLA, the BSA, and the Society of Architectural Historians are responding.

Murrah Federal Building—and closes with an editorial perspective on keeping civic architecture democratic, evidence-based, and future-forward.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. Matt Payne: 9/10 Highlight of the week. Didn't just win but won one of the best. Dreams coming true at 280km/h doesn't get any better than that. The ceasefire: 8/10 The rest is yet to unfold but Tuesday was a win for a lot of people. Gail Parata: 8/10 My hero of the week. Standing on principal and speaking out is increasingly rare these days. Good on her. The BSA: 2/10 Interventionist, sticky beak, trying it on, full of their own self importance - pick a term. The cold, hard truth is very few in broadcasting give a monkeys, given their irrelevancy. Brian Tamaki: 8/10 Got turned down on closing the Auckland Harbour Bridge. Good. The bridge is for transport, not politics.

Broadcaster Sean Plunket isn't going down without a fight, as our broadcasting watchdog claims jurisdiction over his online-only company The Platform. The Broadcasting Standards Authority received a complaint from a member of the public - after the broadcaster described Māori tikanga as 'mumbo jumbo'. Sean Plunket says the BSA has 'messed this up' - and it's likely this complaint will never see the light of day. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Listen, I don't know how much most people will care about the drama that's unfolding with the BSA. Obviously here in radio world, we do, because these people are our watchdog. But if you enjoy watching people try something on and then be forced to retreat, you might enjoy this one. So what's kicked this off is that the BSA apparently decided, in secret, that they would give themselves permission to tidy up not just New Zealand's TV and radio, but now also the entire internet. And the first outfit that they've come after is The Platform. Now my personal dealings with the BSA have led me to believe that the people drawn to sitting on bodies like the BSA are not always the country's deepest thinkers, and this case only reinforces that - because if you thought about this for any more than 10 minutes, you would realize the BSA should just leave the internet alone. The BSA can't police the entire internet, it's too big. What, are they seriously proposing to send Joe Rogan a fine for $3000 NZD if someone in New Zealand complains about something he said? They can't even realistically police the part of the internet that New Zealand uses, it's too big. There's too many podcasts, too many videos, audio files, live streams, you name it, which means they're gonna have to pick and choose what they police and crack down on on the internet, which will inevitably lead to them being accused of bias and favouritism. Which is exactly what has happened here, because the first lot they've come after is The Platform, which if you know the story, was set up on the internet precisely to avoid the BSA and its rules. So - what a surprise that it's the first one the BSA comes after. What a surprise that they're copping a huge amount of flak and resistance from all over the show, including Winston and David Seymour. It seems to me there is a way out of this for the BSA - they'll have to back down. Because this is just an interim decision, and I think they might have to abandon it - and their plans for internet domination may have to also be abandoned. And then they will have to eat some humble pie, which surely would have been obvious to them if they had only thought about it, like the rest of us, for about, I don't know, 10 minutes.

The Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA) has issued a provisional decision claiming jurisdiction over a complaint about an online radio show. They said that the complaint fits their formal definition and requirements, meaning that they have to act. Chief Executive of the Broadcasting Standards Authority Stacey Wood told Mike Hosking that the BSA had long been debating expanding the boundaries of their jurisdiction. ‘Transmission of a programme by means of telecommunication includes the internet.'

What if you could run your recruiting firm on autopilot while launching a completely new business? Brian Gabay has mastered this balance—his 5-person team makes placements without him while he builds a tech startup. Brian founded Brian Simon Associates (BSA) in 2016, specializing in PR and marketing recruitment. He built systems, transforming his business from constant attention to running independently. This freedom allowed him to launch Arrange AI, eliminating interview coordination, which consumes 70% of recruiters' admin time. Brian reveals his framework: getting your entire team on client calls, his "hire two people" strategy, and the mindset shift to step away from daily operations. Plus, surviving a 6-month placement drought taught him the resilience needed to juggle multiple ventures. Episode Outline and Highlights [7:19] The reality TV opportunity that came at the worst time [8:11] How a 3-year kidney donor search taught him resilience [19:50] Why are placed candidates overlooked for new business [20:27] Daily LinkedIn habit: One new connection PLUS one reconnection [23:40] Surviving the drought: First placement took 5-6 months [26:14] The 6-month cash cushion rule for going solo [36:35] Hiring strategy: "If you like two people, hire them both." [44:27] Why 70% of recruiting time is wasted on scheduling [50:18] Game-changer: Getting your entire team on client calls [52:58] Building systems: "Placements happen without me" Building Through Setbacks Brian's approach to adversity was forged through personal crisis. With his father on dialysis, Brian applied recruiting skills to find a kidney donor. "I wasn't a blood match. Neither were my sisters. He's type O... I searched for three years. There was a dark world out there. People wanted money... My dad's life is on the line." The breakthrough came through Jennifer Wolf, who responded to his outreach "just like we would do on LinkedIn." When Fox discovered his YouTube video and offered him a spot on "Home Free" to compete for a house for Jennifer, the timing couldn't have been worse. The 6-Month Rule Brian's practical approach began with planning: "I saved enough to pay rent for six months. That was my cushion... I need to make a placement within six months. If I can't, then maybe this is not for me." His advice emphasizes transparency: "If you're starting your own firm and leaving your current one, have a transparent conversation... Even if these are connections you made yourself, it was created under someone else's umbrella. Leave on good terms." From Solo to Scale After three years solo, Brian began building a team. When he discovered an employee ignoring candidate emails, instead of retreating, he refined his approach: "Out of 10 people, if there's two you really like and you're on the fence, hire both. If one doesn't work out, you still got a really good one." The transformation came from one change: "Having them involved in all client calls... Now if it's a new business call, it's all five of us. They meet the client, ask questions, take notes... I've seen the ownership kick in." This freed Brian to launch Arrange while BSA operated: "Sometimes there's placements being made and I'm not involved at all." Brian Gabay Bio Brian Gabay founded BSA in 2016, specializing in PR, Marketing, and Digital/Social recruiting. He's partnered with recognized PR agencies and brands nationwide. With over a decade of experience, Business Insider named him one of the top PR recruiters in the country.

Last week, that law came into full effect. It criminalizes the use of VPNs, mandates that platforms store and hand over user data to officials upon request, and allows authorities to shut down Internet access at will. It also empowers regime-aligned law enforcement with the absolute authority to check citizens' phones on the street. Penalties include up to six months in prison for sharing posts deemed “misinformation” or for using encrypted apps (like VPNs) to access information. Reports have already surfaced of police extorting bribes from people at checkpoints for having VPNs or “illegal social media” like X, Facebook, or YouTube on their phones. The law poses immediate threats to journalists and activists critical of the military regime or using privacy tools. Amid the junta's effort to stage a sham election to expand militarized control, this deepens Burma's retreat from civic freedoms and shrinks the already fragile space for independent voices and the free flow of information.

On today's show, we chat with Dan Dean!Dan Dean's love for music and performing began when he started taking piano lessons in the third grade. He involved himself musically in his father's church starting at the age of sixteen and continued to do so until he graduated high school. Upon graduation, he attended Jackson College of Ministries in Jackson, MS before eventually finishing with a BSA from Dallas Baptist University.Dan started pursuing the call of ministry at a very early age and has been a passionate follower of Christ. His life was greatly influenced by his father, his father-in-law, and his four brothers; all of whom have devoted their lives to ministry. Dan himself has been full-time in ministry for the past 49 years. In early 1992, he was invited to join with friends Randy Phillips and Shawn Craig in recording an album for Starsong Records. The first release of their self-title project, Phillips, Craig, and Dean spawned four #1 songs; two on the A/C charts and two on the Inspo chart, and peaked at #13 on the Christian album sales charts. Since that debut project, Phillips, Craig, and Dean have released 13 studio albums, two Christmas albums, and a Hymns and Psalms album. Along the way, the group has garnered 13 Dove Award nominations, and won on four separate occasions, while selling over 2.5 million albums. Their hit single, ‘Revelation Song,' released in 2009, was certified Gold by RIAA, and they have been honored to see over 20 songs top the charts. During this time, Dan has also written or co-written many of the hits recorded by Phillips, Craig, and Dean including ‘Favorite Song of All,' which was nominated for a Dove Award for Contemporary Christian Song of the Year, and ‘I Want to Be Just Like You,' which received a nomination for Inspirational Song of the Year.In January of 2000, Dan and his wife Becky were asked to lead the church they had already been serving for 15 years. In October of 2019, he stepped down from the Lead Pastor role, but continues to be involved in the Heartland faith family. In June of 2025, he and his wife Becky will celebrate 40 years of being partners of Heartland Church.Today, Dan continues to travel and perform as the lead singer of Phillips, Craig, and Dean, but has also stepped into a new chapter by recording a solo album, entitled More. The new project features 11 songs, eight of which he either wrote or co-wrote. More has also allowed him to return to his country roots, where he feels most at home vocally. In addition to touring with Phillips, Craig, and Dean, Dan looks forward to sharing this new music with audiences across the country at select solo dates. dandeanofficial.com@danpcdchristianmusicguys.com@christianmusicguys
