Nobody should be surprised that our intel agencies are spying on Congress. We're getting used to the govt. spying on American citizens. But it's no less outrageous than it was decades ago when we first became aware of how bad it was. And an incredible case of what happened to a telecom CEO when he refused to go along with government spying initiated prior to 9/11.Subscribe to both of Sharyl's podcasts: “The Sharyl Attkisson Podcast” and “Full Measure After Hours.” Leave a great review, and share with your friends!

What becomes possible when enterprise computer vision no longer depends on expensive GPU infrastructure? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Glenn Jocher, founder and CEO of Ultralytics, about YOLO26, CPU inference, edge AI, open vocabulary vision, deployment economics, and the practical work required to move computer vision from a promising pilot into production. Glenn's route into AI began inside the U.S. intelligence community. He worked with the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency and Defense Intelligence Agency on particle physics applications, attempting to detect and track antineutrinos. Antineutrinos are extraordinarily difficult to detect because they pass through almost everything. Glenn describes them as the perfect spy. While searching for better detection methods, he discovered that computer vision researchers were solving similar problems with images. His original attempt to transfer those techniques into particle physics did not succeed. However, the work introduced him to a field where the technology could create a visible effect on everyday life. That led him toward open source development and eventually the YOLO models for object detection, classification, segmentation, and tracking. Glenn believes computer vision research has historically placed too much attention on small gains in accuracy while overlooking deployment economics. A model can perform impressively inside a laboratory and still remain unsuitable for a factory, warehouse, store, vehicle, drone, or medical environment. Price, latency, power consumption, data privacy, and deployment speed can determine whether the technology is commercially useful. This led Glenn and Ultralytics toward smaller models capable of running close to where images and video are generated. YOLO26 continues that approach with architectural changes designed specifically for CPU inference. Glenn says the model can process camera streams in real time at 30 frames per second and run across Intel CPUs, AMD CPUs, and lower power devices such as Raspberry Pi computers. This matters because specialist GPUs can increase the equipment cost and power requirements of a computer vision project. Running inference on existing CPUs or edge hardware can make deployment economically possible across larger numbers of cameras and locations. The scale already involved is difficult to comprehend. Glenn says Ultralytics models now process approximately three billion inference jobs each day, equivalent to around 30,000 every second. These jobs include images, videos, and collections of images being analyzed to detect, segment, or track objects. He attributes the platform's maturity to thousands of mistakes and bugs corrected through a rapid feedback cycle. New models are released, users report problems and request features, and the team incorporates that information into later versions. We also discuss the respective roles of cloud and edge infrastructure. Glenn sees cloud platforms continuing to provide the computing power required for training, while computer vision inference often belongs at the edge. Local processing can reduce latency, control operating costs, and keep sensitive video or medical information closer to where it was created. The smallest YOLO model is approximately three megabytes, according to Glenn. That allows it to reach mobile phones, vehicles, drones, battery powered devices, and other environments where a large language model would be impractical. Open vocabulary vision provides another development. Traditional object detection models are trained to recognize a fixed collection of objects. If a model learns to detect dogs and the user later wants it to detect cats, retraining can cause it to forget earlier knowledge unless both categories appear in the new training data. Glenn explains how promptable models can identify common everyday objects from text or visual instructions without additional training. A user could request a person wearing a blue shirt and white shoes, for example, and the system could search an image for that description. That flexibility could benefit businesses whose requirements change regularly. It reduces the need to create and label a new data set every time the company wants the model to recognize another common object. The range of current applications is already extensive. Glenn describes YOLO being used across robotics, parking, industrial safety, PPE detection, warehouses, aviation, security, traffic management, food quality, and manufacturing. Some of his favorite examples involve environmental problems. One company uses YOLO with underwater vehicles to identify and recover plastic from the ocean. Other applications detect smoke and fire early enough to support forest fire response. For leaders considering computer vision, Glenn recommends beginning with a defined problem and measurable outcome. A manufacturing company may want to reduce defects, but it still needs labeled examples showing the model what acceptable and defective products look like. He advises testing the idea through a limited pilot, measuring the return, and expanding only when the evidence supports further investment. Computer vision has become easier to deploy, but practical problems involving data, cameras, integration, reliability, and operating conditions still separate a demonstration from a production system. Could CPU inference and open vocabulary models make computer vision practical for processes your organization previously considered too expensive?

A recent AI security incident is raising new questions about how much control developers really have over increasingly advanced models. Tristan Harris, co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology joins the Rundown to explain how an OpenAI model under testing escaped its closed environment and hacked into another AI platform—an incident the company called unprecedented. Plus, he discusses why lawmakers are now pushing for stronger AI safety guardrails, and the growing debate over whether open-source or closed AI models are better equipped to prevent future risks. With 14 weeks remaining until the midterm elections, Republicans are making their case to keep control of Congress while Democrats push to capitalize on voter frustration with rising costs, tariffs, and President Trump's approval ratings. Meanwhile, both parties are grappling with internal ideological shifts and rising progressive voices, as the political landscape begins to shape for 2028. Founding Partner and CEO of Arc Initiatives and former battleground director for the 2024 Harris campaign, Dan Kanninen, joins the Rundown to discuss how swing district voters are responding to economic pressures, the growing impact of progressive factions within the party, and the path forward for Democrats heading into the midterms and beyond.

Ask most people what a brain chip does and they will tell you it reads your mind. Dr. Michael Lawton implants these devices, and he says that is not what comes off them. He is President and CEO of Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, the hospital where Neuralink's first human implant was performed, and he has completed more than 10,000 brain operations and clipped around 5,500 aneurysms. Louisa sat down with him inside Barrow to find out what the electrodes actually pick up, how far the technology has come, and where it stops. He walks through the surgery itself. The device goes into the hand knob, one small lobule of the motor cortex, where 64 electrodes have already become 108. The threads carrying them are about a tenth the thickness of a hair, so a robot inserts them while avoiding every arteriole on the surface. You'll hear what Nolan Arbaugh, Neuralink's first patient, can now do with a cursor at world record speed, and why Lawton can't keep up with him in a head to head. *Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+:* https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/youtube-sales-page Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for evidence-based conversations at the intersection of brain science, longevity, and performance. _____ *TOPICS DISCUSSED* 00:00 Intro: The Brain Surgeon at Neuralink's First Hospital 00:39 The Guy Who Does the Cases Nobody Else Wants 02:17 A Day in the Life: 5:30am Starts and Three Surgeries 03:20 "Game Tape": Reviewing Every Operation Like an Athlete 04:24 The Surgeon Athlete and Why Surgery Is a Physical Skill 05:32 Fifty Years From Now: What Happens to Neurosurgery 06:11 The ROSA Robot and Mapping a Seizure Focus 08:16 Deep Brain Stimulation and Hitting an Exact Target 08:52 Will We All Be Operated On by Robots? 10:02 The Brain AVM: The One Case a Robot Can't Take 11:18 Why Bleeding Breaks a Robot: The Waymo Problem 13:15 What a Brain-Computer Interface Actually Does 14:49 The Hand Knob: 108 Electrodes in One Small Spot 15:50 Cursor Control at World Record Speed 16:31 Inside the Implant: Threads a Tenth the Width of a Hair 17:27 "No, the Chip Cannot Read Your Thoughts" 17:58 What the Device Really Reads: A Train of Spikes 19:18 From Movement to Sensation: What Comes Next 19:48 Why Restoring Sight Is So Much Harder 20:58 The 1943 Paper That Predicted All of This 22:37 Elon, Telepathy, and What's Actually Possible 23:00 Boosting Creativity and Intelligence in 50 Years 25:10 "When I Retire, We'll Be Treating Depression and Addiction" 26:04 Alzheimer's: Light Therapy and the Blood-Brain Barrier 27:11 Treating the Disease vs Preventing It 28:25 10,000 Operations: How He Feels About Robots Taking Over 29:54 Neuroplasticity: How Nolan's Brain Learned the Device 31:34 What Actually Changes at the Neuron Level 32:04 Patient Two and the Robotic Arm 32:42 5,500 Aneurysms: The Cases That Stay With Him 33:16 Cardiac Standstill: Cooling a Brain to 15 Degrees 35:46 What Separates a Great Surgeon From an Average One 36:17 Traits of Greatness: The Formula Nobody Has Cracked 37:21 The Phone Call in the Middle of a 16-Hour Surgery 39:35 "I Must Have Been Born for This" 41:26 Can You Tell How Old a Brain Is Just by Looking? 43:12 Why Alzheimer's Is Invisible in a Living Brain 44:14 What a Neurosurgeon Does to Protect His Own Brain 44:40 "Alcohol Will Be Viewed Like Cigarettes in the 60s" 45:13 Peptides, Injectables, and Zero Supplements 46:52 The Last Generation to Operate With Open Hands 48:10 How Louisa Found Him on Twitter in 2021 48:53 The Six Mysteries of the Mind 49:14 Which One Gets Solved First, and Which May Never 50:03 Is Consciousness in the Tissue? 51:39 Memory: The Circuitry We Still Can't Explain 53:18 Why Consciousness Is Harder Than Memory 55:12 Louisa's Father's Stroke 56:02 Advice for Anyone Watching a Parent Decline 56:21 His Sister's Brain Tumor and How He Carries It 57:38 A World Where Stroke Is an Outpatient Repair 58:40 Forty Years On, Finally at the Dawn _______ *Thank you to our sponsors* Timeline (Mitopure): https://timeline.com/neuro Mitopure now starts at $79 Ogee: https://ogee.com Use code NEURO for a discount on the Crystal Contour Collection Kion (Kion Aminos): https://getkion.com/neuro for a 20% discount Function Health: https://functionhealth.com/LouisaNicola Use code NEURO25 for a $25 credit _______ I'm Louisa Nicola - clinical neurophysiologist - Alzheimer's prevention specialist - founder of Neuro Athletics.

Copper is moving from background commodity to frontline constraint. Demand is rising fast, high-grade deposits are getting harder to find, and the lead times for bringing new supply online remain brutally long. That matters not just for renewables and electrification, but for the basic energy resilience of modern life: the wires that keep lights on, water running, refrigeration working, and data centres scaling all depend on a metal the industry already knows is becoming harder to source.Host Sylvia Leyva Martinez is joined by Liz Dennett, founder and CEO of Endolith, whose career spans Wood Mackenzie, AWS, and NASA-linked astrobiology research, to explore a biological approach to one of mining's toughest problems. Endolith uses microbial communities, what Dennett calls “the world's oldest miners," to help recover more copper from low-grade ore in existing heap leach operations. The company's core thesis is that copper supply can be made more elastic not by rebuilding mine sites from scratch, but by layering biology, sensing, and robust data architecture into brownfield operations that are already running. Liz explains how that works on site: low-grade ore is stacked into large heaps, irrigated with sulfuric acid, and treated with microbes that accelerate the chemical pathways needed to liberate more copper into solution. The appeal is not futuristic moonshot capex, but a modular, plug-and-play system designed to fit into existing mine infrastructure with minimal downtime. The discussion looks at why that matters economically. Endolith is targeting ore bodies and waste streams that are currently too messy, too low grade, or too contaminated to recover efficiently through conventional routes, including arsenic-rich material that can be especially problematic for smelting. In lab settings, the company has seen significantly higher recovery, and even modest incremental gains in the field could translate into a meaningful unlock when the underlying mine and processing system are already built.The conversation also asks why biomining may be having its moment now, after decades of false starts. Liz argues that the breakthrough is not microbes alone, but the combination of microbial science, cloud-scale data systems, and faster experimentation that lets teams build and iterate far more effectively than even a few years ago. From there, the conversation broadens into the strategic question underneath Endolith's business: how to increase copper supply in a world where demand is being pushed simultaneously by grid build-out, industrial electrification, and the explosive growth of AI infrastructure. The episode closes on the trade-offs that follow from that reality, from financing hard-tech mining solutions to building companies in sectors where the need is obvious, the customers are conservative, and proof matters more than hype.This Horizons episode Liz refers to can be found here: https://www.woodmac.com/podcasts/horizons/red-metal-green-demand/This episode is brought to you by twentytwo & brand – a marketing and PR agency built specifically for energy leaders.Lots of agencies say they work with energy companies. twentytwo & brand was built for them.

As the demand for power surges across the US, the debate over how to build energy infrastructure has reached a fever pitch. And while both sides of the aisle broadly agree that the current permitting process is broken, turning that consensus into actual ​legislation remains a challenge. So how do we define permitting reform, what does meaningful progress actually look like, and where do we stand today?  Alan Armstrong is keenly focused on those questions. After spending his entire career in the energy industry, he was sworn into the US Senate in March, representing Oklahoma. (Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt appointed him after Markwayne Mullin resigned to become US secretary of Homeland Security. Per Oklahoma law, Armstrong cannot run for reelection.) Senator Armstrong spent 15 years as CEO of Williams Companies, one of the largest natural gas infrastructure firms in North America. He is also the former chair of the National Petroleum Council and a founding member of Natural Allies for a Clean Energy Future. Last week, Jason Bordoff spoke with Senator Armstrong about his legislative focus: permitting reforms aimed at streamlining energy buildouts. They discussed a bill that the senator has sponsored, the American Energy and Mineral Infrastructure Act of 2026, as well as the broader wave of reform efforts drawing bipartisan attention. The senator reflected on his time at Williams and how that informed his view on permitting policy. They discussed the role of judicial review, the power dynamic between federal and state regulators, and how growing energy affordability concerns are adding new pressure to pass meaningful permitting reform.

Most teachers know AI belongs in their classroom — almost nobody tells them where to start if they don't teach computer science. Karim Meghji, President and CEO of CodeAI (the nonprofit formerly known as Code.org), gives the answer at ISTE 2026. Vicki took one of Karim's classes on the ISTE show floor before this conversation — including a lesson that asks AI to generate a "healthy meal" and then hands students the cultural bias in the result to talk about. That design choice is the whole episode: students don't learn what AI gets wrong by being told, they learn it by watching it happen and then discussing it. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why CodeAI rebranded from Code.org — and what "glass box instead of black box" means for how you teach - Why Karim's teams deliberately build lessons where the AI answers incorrectly - The question he wants every student asking: who is in control — you or the AI? - What sits behind free student AI tools — pre-filters, post-filters, and hundreds of jailbreak tests - The exact first step for a teacher who has never taught a line of code Karim's answer to "where do I start" is shorter than you'd expect, and it puts the teacher and the students in the same boat on purpose.

AI just handed you 100 leads. That might be the worst thing that could happen to your business. In this episode of the Measure Success Podcast, I sit down with Gal Borenstein, founder and CEO of The Borenstein Group and author of Beating Goliath with AI, to discuss why more leads won't grow your business, how small companies can out-position much bigger competitors, and what replaces traditional SEO in the age of AI search. We cover: • Why AI amplifies your brand — or your sameness — by 100x • The lead-generation trap that quietly drowns small businesses • The one question you must answer before you use AI in marketing • Why traditional SEO is dead and digital trust wins • How David beats Goliath with a "digital slingshot" Watch the full episode and ask yourself: Are you using AI to stand out, or just to sound like everyone else faster?

Fox. Summary of the Interview In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Ashley M. Fox—former Wall Street analyst, Howard University alum, financial educator, and founder/CEO of Emplify, a fintech platform focused on making wealth‑building accessible to everyday people. Ashley shares her journey from working with ultra‑high‑net‑worth clients on Wall Street to becoming an entrepreneur determined to bring financial education and empowerment to communities traditionally excluded from wealth conversations. She discusses the creation of Amplify, her financial fall and recovery, her work in schools and prison systems, and how digital content has allowed her to scale her mission globally. The discussion emphasizes mindset, self‑belief, access, and a practical path to wealth, even starting with as little as $20. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Inspire financial empowerment Ashley explains how anyone—regardless of background or starting point—can begin building wealth and shift generational outcomes. 2. Demystify investing and wealth-building She breaks down how simple investing can be, the power of small consistent contributions, and how wealth isn’t limited to entrepreneurs or high earners. 3. Highlight her fintech platform Emplify She shares how Amplify democratizes financial education through online tools, community, and accessible investing classes. 4. Encourage a mindset shift Ashley stresses the importance of eliminating fear, building confidence, and using logic instead of emotion when making financial decisions. Key Takeaways 1. Wealth Begins with Belief and Mindset Ashley learned on Wall Street that the biggest difference between wealthy and non-wealthy people is not education—it's self-belief. Many people don’t believe wealth is possible for them because they've never seen it. 2. You Don’t Need a Lot of Money to Start Investing She urges people to start with $20, even buying fractional shares. It’s consistency—not starting amount—that builds wealth. 3. You Can Invest in Others’ Ideas—Not Just Your Own Building wealth doesn’t require launching a business. Buying stock is one of the easiest ways to participate in wealth creation. 4. Ashley’s Own Journey Included Failure After leaving Wall Street, she was evicted, slept on her parents’ couch for two years, and maxed out credit cards. Her purpose kept her going. 5. Financial Education Should Start Early She developed financial education programs for schools, prison systems, and everyday families because adults often learn too late. 6. Emplify Scales Wealth Education Her platform offers 300+ hours of videos and tools, helping members open 3,000+ investment accounts and invest $7.4M collectively. 7. Social Media Is Her Biggest Access Point Ashley reaches millions by being authentic, relatable, and consistent—meeting people where they are. 8. You Must Pay Yourself First Most people pay bills, companies, and creditors before investing in themselves. She emphasizes reversing that pattern. 9. Logic Over Emotion Wealth requires logical decision‑making, especially in the market. Emotional reactions undermine long-term financial growth. Notable Quotes (Taken From the Transcript) On Wealth Mindset “When you think and know and believe you have the power to create wealth and you deserve wealth, you move a different way.” “There is no president that can build the wealth that you can create for your family.” On Starting Small “You don't have to have a lot of money to start. You just have to have the will to begin.” “A whole lot of $20 can get you to a million—as long as you don’t stop.” On Investing “Consider the companies you give your money to and own them, because they are a lot cheaper than you think.” “If I’m helping you build a billion‑dollar business by using your products, I deserve a piece of the pie.” On Self-Reliance “You pay everybody… the bartender, the mortgage company—and you’re the one without money. Who’s going to worry about you?” On Purpose and Identity “My story never changed. The mission was always dedicated to the people I didn’t see coming into that building on Wall Street.” “Emplify is the movement. It just has my DNA.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

She spent over a decade scaling two of Europe's most successful tech companies, reaching the C-suite along the way. Then she moved back to her hometown and nobody knew her name. That tension is the heart of this episode of Dear FoundHer, and it sets up one of the clearest examples of starting a business after corporate you will hear this year.Host Lindsay Pinchuk talks with Christine de Wendel, co-founder and U.S. CEO of Sunday, the digital checkout platform used in over 3,500 restaurants across the U.S., U.K., and France. Christine spent over a decade scaling two of Europe's biggest e-commerce companies before leaving corporate at 40 to build a company of her own. Her story shows what transitioning from employee to founder really looks like once the safety net disappears.Christine describes the three humbling months she spent building connections in Atlanta before the idea for Sunday took shape, and how a phone call from an old friend turned into a co-founding partnership. She also opens up about startup funding and whether having a male co-founder changed how easily she raised capital.Lindsay and Christine talk candidly about networking for women, credibility, and why making a career pivot later in life can be an advantage instead of a setback. If you have ever wondered whether starting a business after corporate means starting from zero, Christine's story offers a clear answer: the experience, relationships, and skills you have already built still count. Press play to hear how she used them to help raise $145 million for Sunday.Episode Breakdown:00:00 From Tech Executive to Unknown in Atlanta02:56 Christine's Path From Bain to Paris Tech05:47 Why She Waited Until 40 to Start08:25 Uprooting the Family and Moving to Atlanta11:43 The Phone Call That Became Sunday14:47 How the Sunday App Works16:33 A Review Turns Into Real Restaurant Change19:08 How Sunday Makes Money20:57 The 2021 Raise and What Came After22:45 Doubling Transaction Volume24:25 Why Restaurants Are Slow to Adopt26:15 Building Brand Ambassadors and Referral Networks29:47 Funding, Her Co-Founder, and Gender in Fundraising32:55 Motherhood, Pacing, and Doing It All36:46 Three Tips for Women Starting OutConnect with Christine de Wendel:Follow Sunday App on InstagramConnect with Christine on LinkedInSubscribe to The FoundHer Files Follow Dear FoundHer on Instagram Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.

How do you break through a growth plateau while staying true to the business you want to build?

Noah Schochet is the co-founder and CEO of TerraFirma, a construction technology company rethinking how infrastructure gets built. Founded by two former SpaceX engineers, TerraFirma combines robotics, remote operations, and software into a construction business that performs projects directly rather than selling technology. By vertically integrating its tools with field operations, the company aims to make construction dramatically faster, safer, and more affordable while addressing labor shortages and enabling the next generation of infrastructure. In this episode, Noah shares how his experience building Starship at SpaceX inspired TerraFirma, why he believes construction—not autonomy—is the real bottleneck to civilization-scale progress, and why robotics companies should focus more on delivering outcomes instead of products. He also explains TerraFirma's remote-operated construction model, its approach to rapid iteration, and why the future of construction still depends on people empowered by better technology.

David Osborne joins Brian Nichols to reveal how public sector unions trap members into paying union dues long after they quit - and why leaving your union is nearly impossible right now. Osborne is the former CEO of Americans for Fair Treatment and helped start the Fairness Center, a public interest law firm representing teachers, firefighters, police, and municipal workers against their own unions. This is a throwback to Episode 233, April 2021, with a five-year scorecard on what he got right and what he missed.Inside, you'll hear the uncensored breakdown of the union resignation window, the restrictive membership forms nobody reads at orientation, and the clause that makes public employees pay dues regardless of membership status. This is the playbook nobody hands you when you take a government job.And here's the part that should bother you... the union never had to win. They just had to make leaving expensive enough that you stopped trying. What happens to your paycheck when the organization that's supposed to protect you is the one you need protection from?At 6:00, the Pennsylvania teacher whose own union blocked where her money could go - even after they agreed she'd never pay them a dime. At 10:17, the gym membership analogy that explains the whole trap in sixty seconds. And at 25:30, the specific request David made to the Supreme Court in April 2021 - and the answer he got eight weeks later.Subscribe for new episodes every Thursday.

"When there's a gap between our intention and our impact, we diminish others and our communication."The best leaders don't succeed because they have all the answers—they succeed because they bring out the best thinking in others. Liz Wiseman, executive advisor, CEO of the Wiseman Group, and author of the million-copy bestseller Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter, has spent years studying why some leaders amplify the intelligence around them while others unintentionally hold people back. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Wiseman joins Matt Abrahams to explore the habits of multiplier leaders, the subtle ways well-intentioned managers accidentally diminish their teams, and how curiosity, trust, and thoughtful communication create environments where people can do their best work. Together, they share practical strategies for leading with greater impact by aligning your intentions with the experience you create for others.Key Takeaways:Great leaders multiply, not diminish. Create trust, ask more than you tell, and challenge people to do their best thinking instead of stepping in with the answers.Good intentions aren't enough. The most effective communicators pay attention to the impact of their actions, ensuring their support empowers others rather than unintentionally holding them back.Activity:Ask the multiplier question. At the end of your next one-on-one or team meeting, ask: "What do you need from me to do your best work?" Listen without jumping in to solve the problem. Focus on understanding what will help others think, contribute, and perform at their highest level.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Liz WisemanLiz's Book: Multipliers147.

Creating a successful business from scratch is nearly impossible.  Even if you have a great idea for an exceptional product, bringing it to life requires indomitable confidence and unwavering commitment in the face of insurmountable odds.  And maybe a healthy dose of naivety. Our guest for this episode fits that bill.  A true embodiment of purpose and drive, Nate Checketts, co-founder and CEO of the performance lifestyle apparel brand Rhone, along with his brother, Ben Checketts, seems to have willed their business into being without a reasonable doubt of its survivability.  From an idea at a dinner table to one of the fastest growing premium activewear brands in the market, Rhone has planted its flag and proven its worth among the world's heaviest contenders and has no intention of slowing down.    With game-changing product built for similarly ambitious, health conscious customers, Rhone begs the question, “why settle for anything less?” If comfort is important to you, if looking fantastic is at all important to you, then Rhone should be important to you.   Thanks for tuning in to episode 115.  We hope you enjoy it! Did you know that YOU can be on The Nordy Pod?

One of horror's most influential filmmakers joins Bloody Good Horror. Eli Roth sits down with us to discuss his upcoming film, Ice Cream Man, while looking back on the era that transformed modern horror. From Cabin Fever and Hostel to the rise of the Splat Pack, Eli reflects on how horror broke into the mainstream and what it was like to be at the center of it all. We also talk about his return to independent filmmaking, building his new venture, The Horror Section, supporting the next generation of horror creators, and how our very own co-host, Jon Grilz, somehow ended up becoming the CEO of Eli's company.

Your kidney test comes back normal after surgery, so you must have recovered. Except the damage can be hiding in plain sight. John Erbey is an epidemiologist by training and the founder and CEO of Roivios, where he works at the intersection of science and business. This episode is based on his article "When normal creatinine hides post-operative kidney injury," published on KevinMD. He explains why kidney function is dynamic, like the heart, and why the reserve you lose during surgery rarely returns even when creatinine looks fine. You will hear what a JAMA Network Open study found about elevated death and complication risk in the years after a "normal" recovery, why readmissions blamed on heart failure or infection may trace back to the kidney, and why John makes the case for protecting the kidney during the riskiest windows, from cardiac surgery to sepsis, instead of trusting the discharge number. Press play to learn why a normal kidney result can mislead you, and how to protect the kidney before the damage is locked in. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform. With over three million monthly readers and half a million social media followers, I give you direct access to the doctors and patients who matter most.

More leads and more sales calls will not fix a revenue engine that cannot pinpoint where performance is breaking down. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Josh Troy, CEO of The WFS Group, who explains how companies can diagnose whether stalled growth comes from people, systems, sales management, training, lead routing, or an unstructured process. Josh also explains why sales efficiency matters more than surface-level volume, how founders can document their sales knowledge before handing it to a team, and where AI can enhance call analysis and revenue operations. Key Takeaways:→ Why most companies misdiagnose sales problems. → Sales problems usually fall into two categories: people issues or system issues. → Better lead routing can increase revenue and profitability. → Founders should document objection handling, talk tracks, winning and lost calls, and their sales process from the start.→ A founder who relies solely on personal credibility and instinct may struggle to translate sales success to a growing team. Josh Troy started his first video marketing agency at 21, building it from the ground up through 100% outbound sales. Early on, he developed a belief that outbound sales is the closest thing to generating “money out of thin air,” which led him to expand his expertise into direct response inbound marketing as well. Over the past decade, and with deep experience across both outbound and inbound sales motions as well as paid media, Josh has developed a unique ability to drive rapid sales growth through talent acquisition and development engines, cultivate high-performance cultures, and build data-backed sales systems designed for aggressive scale. He is known for building integrity-driven, high-intensity sales teams and architecting scalable sales infrastructures for hyper-growth businesses. As CEO of a triple-digit-headcount sales organization, Josh leads teams that generate tens of millions annually in high-ticket sales in compliance, powered by world-class sales operations and a relentless focus on execution and performance at scale.

If you hired a chief of staff to be your leadership team's star athlete, don't let them languish on the bench. At many organizations, chiefs of staff are meant to execute high-wire strategic work. But the job is often reduced to: glorified project management, executive cat-herding, and catering to the CEO's whims. They compensate for bad work design through effort and influence, carrying big expectations with no real authority. In this episode, Rodney and guest co-host, Sam Rothkopf, lay out the first move toward becoming an organization built to benefit from change: Recharter your chief of staff as the leadership team's work designer. They dig into the three jobs most chiefs of staff currently hold; why the role should serve teams, not single leaders; and the authority they need to put business strategy into motion and free up executives to do the work only they can do. -------------------------------- Ready to change your organization? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Let's talk.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get our newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -------------------------------- Mentioned references: Miraval Rosé Casamigos "built to benefit from change ep": AWWTR Ep. 52 "failure of the ways of working ep": AWWTR Ep. 50 Mia Wise 00:00 Intro + Check-In: Favorite Celebrity Endorsed Product 03:13 The chief of staff already exists, but does the wrong work 06:49 The chief of staff today: admin, project manager, influencer 11:02 Why chiefs of staff are prone to burnout 16:46 Chiefs of staff are everywhere in tech orgs, with no power 22:26 The reframe: serving the team, not the leader 25:44 Building your “shelves” 28:57 Operationalizing strategy, for real 32:47 Playing “favorites' around who is leading the strategy 37:21 The CEO's first hire 42:07 The authority the role actually needs 46:07 Tooling, comms, and where the team does its work 49:17 Wrap: more moves next week Sound engineering and design by Taylor Marvin of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Coupe Studios⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
