AI disruption and geopolitical upheaval are forcing business leaders to make high-stakes decisions — fast. Accenture CEO Julie Sweet joins Rapid Response host Bob Safian to share what she's hearing from her 9,000 clients and the hard-won advice she's giving them. Sweet reveals why AI proficiency is now a requirement for promotion at Accenture, why she's doubling down on entry-level hiring amid the automation wave, and why tension in the C-suite may be the most underrated leadership advantage right now. Plus, Sweet unpacks the hidden power of "leader-led learning", and makes the case for why preparing society for an AI future is not just a government job, but a business imperative.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

#336: In this week's installment of The Business of You series, I'm sitting down with Alex Hill — recipe developer, community builder, and the woman behind Just Add Hot Sauce — to talk about what it really takes to bet on yourself as a solopreneur and what it truly means to stop letting people play in your face, including yourself.This conversation is about the moment before the leap. The panic attack that becomes the pivot. The $25K savings goal. The train that's moving whether you're ready or not.If you're truly going to be the CEO of your life, it means you know your worth, and you move like it.We talk about turning content into capital, building a brand without letting the algorithm own you, and why “being the product” is both the source of opportunity and pressure. Because it's one thing to go viral. It's another thing to build a business that can outlive the internet.The Business of You is about ownership. Not just of your talent, but of your trajectory. This conversation is a masterclass in zooming out before the world decides your next move for you.This episode is for you if…You know you're talented but you're still figuring out how to think like the CEO of your own life.You want to move from scarcity to leverage.You want to learn the difference between being creative and being strategic.You're ready to build real ownership.You want to stop performing for the algorithm.You're learning that saying yes built the foundation but saying no builds the future.You're tired of shaking your ass for Kohl's cash and are ready to build real equity.Episode Links:Subscribe to Alex's Substack Food & Feelings here: https://justaddhotsauce.substack.com/Follow Alex on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justaddhotsauce/?hl=enSponsors:IM8: If you're ready to feel more like your best self, go to IM8HEALTH.com/lucky and use code LUCKY.

In 1997, two lads walked into a bank in LA, and well, the walk out ain't so easy. However, what's even madder is the string of robberies that they had done before that, getting more and more violent.

Most people think feeling tired, foggy, and “off” is just what happens with age.But what if the real issue is that your cells are running on less fuel than they used to?In this episode of the Kwik Brain podcast, I sit down with Dr. Andrew Salzman, Harvard-trained physician, inventor, and biomedical entrepreneur, to unpack what's happening at the cellular level when energy drops and your brain stops feeling sharp.We break down NAD, a molecule involved in hundreds of critical reactions in the body, why it declines as you age, and how inflammation can accelerate that decline. We also talk about NMN, and why your brain is often the first place you feel the effects when cellular energy dips.In this episode, you'll learn: ☑️ What NAD does for energy, cognition, and resilience ☑️ Why NAD drops so significantly by midlife ☑️ How NMN works as a precursor to support NAD production ☑️ The “bathtub” model: why boosting NAD is not just about adding more, but also slowing the drain ☑️ How inflammation can drive NAD depletion through CD38 ☑️ Why better cellular energy can translate into clearer thinking, better memory, and sharper focusIf you've been feeling like your brain isn't firing the way it used to, your energy is unpredictable, or your focus is slipping, this episode will help you understand what's happening underneath the surface and what you can do to support your brain at the level where performance actually starts: your cells.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Are you struggling to move forward in your God-led business, ministry, or calling? Do you feel like you are circling the same mountain, praying for a breakthrough, yet nothing seems to shift? In this episode, we talk about what God may actually be asking you to let go of. Control. The need to manage every outcome. The need to see the full plan before you take the next step. The pressure to make everything happen in your own strength. You will be challenged to stop waiting for certainty and start letting go of your grip. Real growth begins when you release control and choose obedience. If you are ready to step into your next season of purpose and profit, this conversation will help you identify where control is holding you back and how to move forward with trust.   I pray this blesses you!   Ready to Make Consistent Income From a Podcast?  Join my 5-Day Profitable Podcast Bootcamp!

Why beliefs can either cap our potential or push us toward possibility.What you believe about yourself could be holding you back. Fortunately, Nir Eyal says beliefs aren't truths — and you can choose new ones.Eyal is a former lecturer at Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Stanford d.school, a celebrated author, and a renowned expert on human behavior and potential. His latest book, Beyond Belief, reveals how limiting beliefs — like “I'm a bad communicator” — quietly shape what we see, feel, and do. “A belief doesn't have to be true” to limit our potential, he says. But the same holds in reverse: a belief doesn't have to be true to expand who and what we can become. “Beliefs are tools, not truths. It just has to be useful.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Eyal and host Matt Abrahams explore how to identify the beliefs that hold us back — and how to replace them with ones that propel us forward. From keeping a belief journal to practicing perspective-shifting “turnarounds,” Eyal offers practical tips for rewriting the stories we tell ourselves and becoming the people we want to be.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Nir EyalNir's Book: Beyond Belief104.

Send a textImagine a teammate who never sleeps, never burns out, and never forgets a playbook. That's the promise of modern AI agents, and we brought on Daniel Hindi, founder and CEO of Noem.ai, to unpack how teams move beyond clunky chatbots and into human-like, action-taking systems that actually sell, support, and scale.We start with the pain: SDR and CS turnover, endless retraining, and leaders dragged into low-leverage work. Daniel explains how agents flip the script—acting like a concierge that understands intent, personalizes paths, and executes tasks. Not just “here's a link,” but real actions: adding a lead to your CRM, sending a password reset, booking a call, or escalating a VIP with crisp context. The result is a smoother customer journey, faster resolutions, and humans freed up for deep work—discovery, expansion, and relationships.From there, we get tactical. Daniel breaks down the difference between chatbots and agents (autonomy and tooling), why build-vs-buy matters when AI changes weekly, and where ROI shows up first: conversion lifts from existing traffic, multilingual reach, and instant responses across web, SMS, WhatsApp, and social. We cover the hidden metric most teams miss—executive time—and how weekly sentiment and “state of the union” reports turn raw conversations into clear moves. Plus, a candid look at rollout failure modes, eliminating ambiguity in your briefs, and using training gaps to permanently strengthen SOPs.Getting started is fast: ingest your site, set clear goals and guardrails, integrate with your stack, and let the agent cook. Pricing scales with usage, not hype, so you can test without breaking the bank and expand as results compound. If you're ready to replace IVR-style friction with hospitality at scale—and give your team the headspace to grow—this conversation is your roadmap.If this episode hits a nerve, share it with a founder or operator who's stuck in the weeds, subscribe for more brand-building plays, and leave a review with the one task you'd offload to an AI agent first.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Nick Aria built and sold multiple agencies by leaning into strategic planning and one counterintuitive belief: the fastest way to grow profit isn't better tactics, it's paying your team above market.

End chaos in your firm—300+ peers use this framework. Free video here: https://www.businessofarchitecture.com/framework Michele Grace Hottel sits down with Enoch Sears, founder of Business of Architecture, for a talk on what practice ownership can quietly take from you—and how it doesn't have to. Enoch shares stories from behind the "awards and accolades" and points to the hidden patterns that keep firm owners stuck, even when they love the work. From a hard truth an accountant once delivered, to why outside coaches can change the game, the conversation moves from money to meaning without turning into a lecture. They also wander through early architectural memories, a few iconic buildings, and a view of how architects could shape the next era of communities. The "one sentence" an accountant said that made a successful architect rethink everything. The unexpected reason Enoch says most firms stay trapped—even when they're busy. A small habit from studio days that reveals a bigger advantage most people miss. To learn more about Michele, visit her website: https://www.mgharchitect.com/

In this episode, Dr. Steve Judson shares a story that happened twice — decades apart — and what it taught him about the roadblocks that show up right when things start moving. When he opened his first practice in Newington, Connecticut, the town tore up the road in front of his office. Cops steering patients away. Business grinding to a halt. But Dr. Steve walked down, had a conversation, and by the end of the week that same police officer was a patient — and most of the department followed. Now, a month into taking over the Venice, Florida office, he pulls up to find the same orange construction signs staring back at him. You can't make it up. Challenges don't announce themselves. They show up at the worst time, in the most inconvenient way, right when momentum is building. But the people who've been preparing — who've stayed rooted in purpose and focused on the mission — don't get stopped by a road closure. They find a way through. It's time to Wake Up Humans — don't let their roadblocks become yours. How's your Atlas? Learn more at drstevejudson.com and check out Steve Judson's books and gear.

The dominant structural shift identified centers on liability allocation and governance in the context of agentic AI deployment across IT and managed services. The episode underscores how automation is moving beyond content generation to direct operational and security actions, referencing technology from OpenAI (GPT-5.3 Instant), Anthropic (Claude Marketplace), Google Workspace CLI, Microsoft's SharePoint AI features, and Hexnode's Genie AI. Vendors are embedding AI deeper into productivity and endpoint infrastructure, increasing both operational efficiency and the risk footprint—making governance, reliability, and accountability the new competitive differentiators. The most consequential development highlighted is the industry-wide disconnect between rapid AI remediation adoption and lagging governance. According to Omdia, 88% of organizations are using AI-driven remediation, but only 44% have implemented it for most exposure types, and nearly half (49%) of security teams lack trust in these systems. IBM data shows that 63% of organizations lack formal AI incident response policies, meaning deployment often outpaces the development of auditability and risk management. This creates a landscape where automated decisions are taken at scale without clear accountability structures or incident protocols. Supporting developments reinforce these governance and risk concerns. Reports of cognitive fatigue—termed “AI brain fry”—affecting over 14% of users (Boston Consulting Group/UC Riverside) and a 39% increase in error rates among those affected, point to compounding human and system risk when automation outpaces oversight. Market analysis from Accenture, Wharton, and the Dallas Fed notes that AI has shifted skill demand, displaced younger tech workers, and pressured traditional fixed-fee business models. Meanwhile, vendors are migrating from predictable per-seat pricing to variable token-based consumption, passing operational uncertainty onto MSPs and their clients. For MSPs, IT service providers, and technology leaders, the practical implications are clear. Failure to implement explicit governance, contract clauses, and incident protocols exposes providers to unpredictable liability. Passing through ungoverned consumption costs under fixed-contracts damages margins as AI use expands. The increasing cognitive load on staff supervising partially trusted automation further compounds operational risk. As the pricing model shifts, providers must negotiate new contract terms, institute AI incident playbooks, audit tool autonomy, and manage the blast radius of AI with the same rigor as legacy security controls. 00:00 Platform Land Grab 03:56 Who Owns Failure 07:27 Skills Over Titles 09:52 Why Do We Care?  Supported by: JumpCloud  

Emanuel Bistrian, Executive Director of Generosity Path, grew up in a small Romanian village under communism, one of twelve children in a faithful Christian family. After immigrating to Chicago with almost nothing, he watched his mother give generously even in scarcity. That witness shaped his ambition, not simply to succeed, but to live on purpose. Over time, as he built businesses in the United States and Romania, God reshaped his view of wealth from something to secure into something to steward with open hands. In this conversation, Emanuel shares how he and his wife chose to give from revenue rather than profit, trusting God through the global financial crisis and seasons of real risk. He describes how local generosity is transforming churches in places like Ethiopia and South Sudan, restoring dignity and fueling gospel work from within communities rather than depending on the West. Through Generosity Path, he now helps leaders around the world discover generosity as surrender, community, and mission. Listen to explore how courageous generosity can restore dignity and strengthen faith in every season. Major Topics Include: Generosity as surrender, not strategy Giving from revenue, not just profit Trusting God through financial risk Integrating faith and entrepreneurship Building generosity into business systems Community as catalyst for generous living Restoring dignity through local generosity Shifting from Western dependence to local ownership QUOTES TO REMEMBER “I realized that God wasn't poor in Romania. We as His people needed to learn generosity.” “If we didn't do something that extreme, we would never give.” “We didn't want to wait to tally up the profits to see if we were profitable enough to give.” “I would rather risk too much than too little when it comes to generosity.” “It's never a thing of how much you have. God can multiply the fish and the loaves.” “We all have everything we need to accomplish what God has called us to.” “Generosity in community is the next logical thing. Why wouldn't you want to give with others?” “Business people can be quite lonely, but community brings the joy back.” “Generosity restores dignity.” “When the Holy Spirit downloads His heart into yours, transformation takes place.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Generosity Path Generous Giving (see our interviews with cofounders Todd Harper and David Wills and CEO, April Chapman) Journey to Generosity (JoG) with Generous Giving Praxis (see our interview with Cofounder Josh Kwan) MacLellan Foundation (see our interview with Director of Generosity, John Cortines) Handful of Rice video Bishop Hannington video TAKE A STEP DEEPER On the Finish Line podcast, we are all about stories, seeing how God draws us into generosity over a lifetime.  But sometimes these stories can leave us thinking, “What's that next step look like for me?” That's exactly why we've launched a whole new podcast called Applied Generosity which explores the full landscape of the generous life across 7 different dimensions of generosity.  Applied Generosity helps make sense of the hundreds of stories we've shared on the Finish Line Podcast to help you find that best next step. If you've been inspired by these stories and want to take things to the next level, check out Applied Generosity anywhere you listen to podcasts or at appliedgenerosity.com.

This Day in Legal History: The AmistadOn March 9, 1841, the U.S. Supreme Court decided United States v. The Amistad, ruling that a group of Africans who had seized control of the Spanish ship La Amistad were free individuals who had been illegally enslaved. The case began after the captives, led by Sengbe Pieh—often called Cinqué—revolted against the ship's crew while being transported from Cuba in 1839. They had originally been kidnapped in West Africa and sold into slavery in violation of international agreements banning the transatlantic slave trade. After the revolt, the ship was intercepted near Long Island and the Africans were taken into U.S. custody. Spanish officials demanded that the United States return both the ship and the captives to Cuba. The U.S. government supported Spain's request, arguing that the captives were property under Spanish law.Abolitionists rallied to the Africans' defense and secured legal representation for them in American courts. The case eventually reached the Supreme Court, where former President John Quincy Adams joined the legal team arguing for the captives' freedom. Adams delivered a lengthy and passionate argument emphasizing natural rights and the illegality of the slave trade that had brought the Africans to Cuba. Writing for the majority, Justice Joseph Story concluded that the captives had been unlawfully enslaved and were therefore not property. Because they were free individuals, the Court held that they had the legal right to resist their captivity and fight for their liberty. The Court ordered that the Africans be released rather than returned to Spanish authorities.The ruling was celebrated by abolitionists as an important moral and legal victory in the fight against slavery. Although it did not end slavery in the United States, the decision demonstrated that courts could recognize limits on the slave trade and acknowledge the legal claims of enslaved people.Thirteen major U.S. book publishers have filed a copyright lawsuit against Anna's Archive, a website they describe as one of the largest “shadow libraries” distributing pirated books and academic papers. The publishers—including HarperCollins, Wiley, McGraw Hill, and Cengage—filed the complaint in federal court in New York, alleging that the site hosts more than 63 million books and 95 million research papers without authorization. According to the lawsuit, Anna's Archive allows users to download these materials directly or through torrent networks, making copyrighted works widely available for free. The publishers claim the site openly presents itself as a pirate platform and intentionally violates copyright law.The complaint also alleges that Anna's Archive was created in 2022 after copying entire collections from other illegal book repositories and has continued expanding its database. The publishers say the site operates anonymously and frequently changes domain names across different countries to avoid enforcement efforts. They further claim the platform targets artificial intelligence developers by offering large datasets of books and papers. While free users can access files slowly, the complaint states that faster downloads are available to users who make donations through untraceable methods like cryptocurrency or gift cards. The publishers allege that these donations can reach roughly $200,000 for high-speed bulk access. In response, the plaintiffs are asking the court to shut down the site and award statutory damages of up to $150,000 for each infringed work.The lawsuit follows a separate case brought by Atlantic Recording Corp., which earlier obtained a preliminary injunction preventing Anna's Archive from distributing millions of music files allegedly copied from Spotify. That case resulted in a default after the site failed to respond to the complaint. However, the publishers argue that the earlier injunction does not cover books, allowing the alleged book piracy to continue. The Association of American Publishers has publicly supported the lawsuit, describing the scale of digital piracy as extremely large and urging legal action to stop the operation.Publishers Sue ‘Shadow Library' For ‘Staggering' Book Piracy - Law360Companies that operate in California are facing uncertainty as the state moves forward with major climate disclosure laws while a federal appeals court considers whether the rules should be blocked. The laws—California Senate Bills 253 and 261—require large companies doing business in the state to disclose information about greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related financial risks. In late February, the California Air Resources Board approved initial regulations explaining how the reporting system will be administered and how companies will pay implementation fees. At the same time, the Ninth Circuit has temporarily blocked enforcement of S.B. 261 and is reviewing a request from business groups to halt both laws entirely.Because of this parallel regulatory and legal process, many companies are unsure whether they should invest heavily in compliance or wait for the courts to rule. S.B. 253 applies to companies with more than $1 billion in annual revenue and requires reporting of Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions, which include direct emissions, energy-related emissions, and emissions from supply chains. S.B. 261 applies to companies with more than $500 million in revenue and requires disclosure of climate-related financial risks and mitigation strategies. Attorneys say collecting this data could be difficult, especially for companies that only have limited operations in California or that must gather information from suppliers and partners in other regions.The reporting requirements could also affect businesses outside California because companies subject to the law may need emissions data from their partners and vendors. Regulators have begun setting deadlines for initial reporting, including an August deadline for certain emissions data, but many details about how the system will function remain unresolved. Meanwhile, business groups including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce argue the laws violate the First Amendment by forcing companies to speak on controversial issues related to climate change. With rulemaking still underway and litigation ongoing, companies are left trying to prepare for possible compliance while waiting to see whether the courts ultimately uphold or invalidate the laws.Companies In Limbo Over Calif. Climate Disclosure Laws' Fate - Law360In a major California bellwether trial over claims that social media harms children's mental health, the plaintiff has finished presenting her case against Instagram and YouTube. The plaintiff, a 20-year-old referred to as Kaley G.M. to protect her identity, alleges that features on the platforms contributed to anxiety, depression, and body dysmorphia she experienced as a minor. Her attorney, Mark Lanier, chose not to call Kaley's mother to testify live, instead presenting a brief portion of her deposition to the jury. The decision appeared partly influenced by strict time limits imposed by the judge during the trial. In the deposition testimony, the mother acknowledged she had little knowledge of her daughter's social media use and did not monitor her phone because she viewed it similarly to a household landline.Defense attorneys have argued that Kaley's mental health problems were caused by difficulties at home rather than the platforms themselves. Evidence introduced at trial suggested the plaintiff had conflicts with her mother, including allegations of neglect, verbal abuse, and limited supervision of internet use. The defense also pointed to bullying and other personal issues as alternative explanations for the plaintiff's struggles. Meanwhile, a former Meta employee testified that internal company information suggested Instagram could be addictive and harmful to young users, although defense lawyers challenged his credibility and the extent of his involvement with safety issues.The plaintiff's final expert witness discussed ways social media companies could design safer platforms for children. After the plaintiff rested, Meta began presenting its defense with testimony from school administrators connected to the plaintiff. The case is the first bellwether trial among thousands of similar lawsuits consolidated in California, with outcomes potentially shaping settlement negotiations and future trials. TikTok and Snap previously settled with this plaintiff, but the broader litigation against social media companies continues.Meta, Google Begin Defense As Mental Harm Plaintiff Rests - Law360 UKThe U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency told a federal trade court that it expects to create a system within about 45 days to process refunds for tariffs that were previously imposed under President Donald Trump and later ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. The tariffs generated roughly $166 billion in payments from about 330,000 importers, and the Court's decision did not specify how those funds should be returned. As a result, government lawyers and a judge from the U.S. Court of International Trade are working to establish a practical process for issuing refunds.Under the proposed plan, importers would submit a declaration through CBP's electronic system detailing the tariffs they paid. The agency would verify the information and then issue a single payment from the Treasury Department to each importer, including interest. Officials say this approach would avoid forcing businesses to file individual lawsuits to recover their money. The judge overseeing the matter recently modified an earlier order that required immediate refunds, acknowledging that the agency needs time to build a workable system.CBP explained that its current administrative system cannot automatically process refunds on the massive scale required. Importers paid tariffs on more than 53 million shipments, and manually reviewing each transaction could require millions of hours of labor. Several large companies, including affiliates of Nintendo and CVS, have already filed lawsuits seeking repayment, though the government hopes a broader refund system will resolve claims more efficiently.Business groups such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have supported the proposal, saying it could simplify the process for smaller companies. However, officials noted that relatively few importers have registered for the electronic refund system created earlier this year. The court continues to oversee the development of the refund process through a test case that could guide how payments are returned to all affected businesses.US customs agency expects tariff refund system to be ready in 45 days | Reuters This is a public episode.

Swish launched less than a year ago with a simple promise: hot food in 10 minutes. It's already raised 16 million dollars, with another 30 to 35 million reportedly on the way. But the giants who tried this before — Zomato, Zepto, Swiggy — have all stumbled, scaled back, or shut down. The problem isn't the idea. It's the math. Small order sizes, a lack of dedicated riders and razor-thin margins. Swish and its investors thinks it has an edge the others didn't. But can a one-year-old startup crack what India's biggest food delivery companies couldn't?Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.
