Curtis Sliwa, Republican candidate for Mayor of New York City, joins Sid live in-studio to talk about his past disco-dancing days, before he slams political opponents like Eric Adams, Zohran Mamdani, and Andrew Cuomo, and lays out his pro-business, anti-congestion pricing, and tax-slashing agenda for NYC. He criticizes Adams for cozying up to anti-Israel voices and praises support from Mark Levin, Larry Kudlow, and even The New York Times. Curtis defends his iconic red beret but reveals he'll go without it for high-profile events—like a power breakfast in the Hamptons with billionaires—if it helps his campaign. He also highlights his “Protect the Animals” platform and vows to keep Staten Island from falling to progressive candidates. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by highlighting the upcoming webinar on Thursday, hosted by Alex, which will cover the application process for those targeting the M7 MBA programs and feature admissions coaches from our friends at Leland. Signups are here: https://bit.ly/m7clearadmit Graham then noted the weekly refresh series that Clear Admit publishes during this time of year, which is designed to keep MBA applicants updated with admissions-related updates at the leading MBA programs. Graham also discussed a new admissions tip which focuses on all the standardized tests that non-English language MBA candidates might use to demonstrate English proficiency in the admissions process. We continue our series of Adcom Q&As, and this week we have two Q&As, from Harvard Business School's Rupal Gadhia and Maryland / Smith's Maria Pineda. Finally, Graham highlighted a recently published podcast that focuses on the strategy consulting industry and its importance for MBA candidates. This is a recording from a panel discussion from our spring event in Boston and includes a representative from Bain Consulting. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected three ApplyWire entries: This week's first MBA admissions candidate has a superb 795 on the GMAT, but a very modest GPA. We discussed the impact of this GPA on their overall profile. This week's second MBA candidate is from India and has not yet taken the GRE. They are targeting top MBA programs outside the United States. The final MBA candidate has a 745 GMAT and 3.95 GPA in chemical engineering. They work at a small firm, with no title change. We do think this is a very strong candidate. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA.

CANDIDATE FRAUD: HARDENING THE HIRING FUNNEL WITH INFOSEC TECHNIQUES   Candidate fraud is already a problem for some today but it will soon be a huge problem for everyone tomorrow. The uncomfortable truth is that AI will undermine trust in all digital communications and we need to rethink our recruitment approaches with security much higher in the priority list. It might even be said that security may become one of the main values human recruiters will perform as AI transforms the way we work today.   We will learn   - Line between legitimate AI use vs Fraud? - Is this fixed today or can we expect this to change tomorrow? - What is the international consensus on this line? - Taxonomise candidate fraud - what are the techniques, how they are using these techniques - Motivations for candidate fraud: material gain, desperation for job opportunity, IP theft? - Input from InfoSec: what practices will become standard? - Isn't trusting 3rd party verifiers just delegating the security responsibility? - What about bias - racial profiling, IP location bias etc? - Relationship between Candidate Fraud vs Remote working - Gender: fraudsters mainly male...?     All this and more with Daniel Chait, CEO (Greenhouse) & friends   We are on Wednesday 30th July, 12 Noon ET - follow the channel here (recommended) and save your spot for this demo by clicking on the green button.     Ep323 is sponsored by our friends Greenhouse   Hiring is hard, and getting it right is even harder. It's a core business-building function with high stakes that takes a lot of moving parts to see real success. You need workflows that accommodate how you function given your company size and goals. You need a user experience that hiring managers actually buy into. And you need an application process that locks talent in.   Only Greenhouse gives you all that in one platform.   Learn more

On today's show we are talking about the conversion of office space. The problem with most office buildings is that they are the wrong shape to build apartments. Many office buildings are square in shape and most apartment buildings are rectangular, or L shaped, or U shaped. Apartment buildings need lots of windows. Living rooms need windows and bedrooms need windows. Offices do benefit from natural light, but in truth, a sunny south facing window creates so much glare that it makes it impossible to read the screen on your desk. Windows remain covered for much of the day. We're going to be using a case study of an office building that is part of the Kanata Research Park. The building is part of a very large office park and is located next to a four star hotel that is also located within the office park. It's no surprise that office vacancy has hit this location, just as it has impacted many offices during the pandemic and the slow return to office trend since the pandemic. So the owner of the building made the decision to convert one of the half dozen buildings on this particular site to residential and move the remaining commercial tenants to other buildings within the same complex. -------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Emerging from an award-winning article in International Security, China's Gambit examines when, why, and how China attempts to coerce states over perceived threats to its national security. Since 1990, China has used coercion for territorial disputes and issues related to Taiwan and Tibet, yet China is curiously selective in the timing, target, and tools of coercion. This book offers a new and generalizable cost-balancing theory to explain states' coercion decisions. It demonstrates that China does not coerce frequently and uses military coercion less when it becomes stronger, resorting primarily to non-militarized tools. Leveraging rich empirical evidence, including primary Chinese documents and interviews with Chinese and foreign officials, this book explains how contemporary rising powers translate their power into influence and offers a new framework for explaining states' coercion decisions in an era of economic interdependence, particularly how contemporary global economic interdependence affects rising powers' foreign security policies.

We begin with a quick free-for-all Friday, where we cover the latest news on vaccines, immigration, spending, and foreign policy. Next, we're joined by Dr. Peter Chambers, a retired Army lieutenant colonel who is a doctor and a Green Beret and is now taking his impressive background to the campaign trail for governor of Texas. Dr. Chambers discusses his experience in Operation Lone Star and how Greg Abbott failed to actually stanch the flow at the border. He also explains his failures on medical freedom, which is a stark contrast from Chambers' own experience, where he lost his job as a flight surgeon in the Texas Guard while offering informed consent on the vaccines. Chambers offers his vision for getting ahead of the asymmetric warfare against our country. He also briefs us on his recovery operation in Texas Hill Country and how, as governor, he would utilize retired special operators to create quick-reaction forces within county governments and the state Guard.    Learn more about your ad choices.
