What if AI could help your content speak every language without losing its heart? In today's episode, I sat down with Oz Krakowski, Chief Business Development Officer at Deepdub, a company reshaping how stories cross linguistic and cultural borders through AI-powered dubbing. As global demand for diverse entertainment continues to surge, Deepdub is offering studios a new way forward—one that balances scale with emotional fidelity. Oz walked me through how Deepdub's platform enables post-production teams to dub content into over 130 languages and dialects, with output that respects the tone and intent of the original performance. This isn't about replacing human creativity—it's about integrating it into smarter workflows. Through a hybrid approach, Deepdub fuses cutting-edge AI with seasoned voice actors, directors, and editors to maintain authenticity while massively improving efficiency. From monetizing dormant titles trapped in single-language formats to opening up live broadcasts for real-time localization, the implications are wide-ranging. Oz also shared how Deepdub Live is already unlocking access to new global audiences for sports, conferences, and beyond—potentially transforming how we experience real-time events. We also explored the deeper economics of AI dubbing, especially as the cost of localization begins to fall, making it more viable to bring overlooked content into untapped markets. Whether it's delivering content in regional dialects or enabling personalized voice experiences across industries like eLearning and customer service, the roadmap for AI localization is expanding far beyond the entertainment world. At a time when studios are re-evaluating their content strategies, Deepdub offers a glimpse of what's possible when AI meets cultural intelligence. Could your next global audience already be waiting? Have you considered how AI might help your content reach new viewers without losing its original voice?

Nancy talks about how the organization continues to support relief efforts in areas affected by recent disasters, including LA, North Carolina, and Florida. She wraps up talking about ways the community can support their efforts, including their upcoming "Race4EveryKid" virtual challenge fundraiser in May, and through product donations, such as shoes, clothes, and accessories.

“Beware lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.' You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth…” - Deuteronomy 8:17-18This passage powerfully reminds us that God owns everything, and we are merely stewards of what He has entrusted to us for a season. Today, Cody Hobelman joins us to discuss how you can establish your first financial finish line.Cody Hobelmann is a Certified Financial Professional (CFP®), a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA®), and is the Chief Business Development Officer at Turning Point Financial. He and his brother Kealan founded the Finish Line Pledge and cohost the Finish Line Podcast, where they discuss the intersection of faith, generosity, and personal finance.The Challenge of ProsperityProsperity presents a significant challenge—perhaps more so than hardship. While we live in one of the most prosperous nations in history, this struggle with abundance is not unique to our time.The book of Deuteronomy mentions how the Israelites stood on the edge of the Promised Land after 40 years in the desert. Moses knew that once they entered the land flowing with milk and honey, they would face a new kind of test—not hunger, disease, or war, but the temptation to rely on their own strength rather than God's provision.Just as the Israelites needed a reminder that all wealth belongs to God, we, too, need to set guardrails against the deceptive power of wealth. One of the most effective tools for doing this is the concept of a financial finish line.Five Approaches to GivingBefore diving into how to set a financial finish line, here are five major approaches to giving:Spontaneous Giving—Giving as needs arise, without much planning.A Giving Goal—Setting a target amount to give annually.Percentage Giving—Committing to give a fixed percentage of income.Incremental Percentage Giving—Increasing the percentage of giving over time.A Financial Finish Line—Setting a cap on personal spending, allowing everything beyond that to be given away.The first four methods focus on how much to give, while the financial finish line flips the paradigm. Instead, it asks, “How much do I truly need?” and commits to giving away the excess.Breaking Down the Financial Finish LineSo, how do you actually set a financial finish line? Financial stewardship can be broken down into four key categories:Personal Spending—Lifestyle expenses (housing, food, transportation, etc.).Taxes—The portion owed to the government.Future Planning—Savings for upcoming expenses, investments, and retirement.Kingdom Building—Everything given to ministry, charity, and impact projects.Since lifestyle spending is the primary determinant of financial behavior, the crucial first step is to cap personal spending.Three Methods to Set a Finish LineHere are three practical approaches to setting your first financial finish line:Maintenance Spending Finish Line—Freezing your current lifestyle spending at a set amount, preventing lifestyle creep as income rises. Benchmark Spending Finish Line—Using census data or external benchmarks to determine a reasonable spending cap based on objective measures. The Finish Line Pledge website offers a calculator to help with this (finishlinepledge.com/calculator). Prioritization Spending Finish Line—Evaluating where your money currently goes, eliminating non-essential expenses, and focusing only on what aligns with God's priorities for your life.Whichever method you choose, the goal is the same: determine what is “enough” and dedicate the rest to Kingdom impact. This concept is not just for the wealthy. Defining ‘enough' changes everything; if you never define it, you'll never reach it.Testing your financial finish line for three to six months. Many who do find it transformative—not just financially, but spiritually. It shifts the mindset from ownership to stewardship, freeing us to see money as a tool for God's Kingdom rather than a source of security.Next Steps: Where to BeginTo get started:Visit finishlinepledge.com and explore the calculator.Set a trial finish line for 3–6 months.Adjust over time as you refine what “enough” looks like in your life.Discuss this approach with a Kingdom-minded financial advisor, especially a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA), who can help integrate this principle into a broader financial plan.Setting a financial finish line is a process, not a one-time decision. It's a faith journey that requires intentionality, wisdom, and a willingness to surrender financial control to God.If you're ready to take the next step, check out finishlinepledge.com and consider taking the pledge. It may just transform your relationship with money—and with God.Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineIf you'd like to explore this idea further, you can read Cody's full article, “Setting Your First Finish Line,” in the latest edition of Faithful Steward.You can receive this quarterly magazine and help equip believers with biblical financial wisdom by becoming a FaithFi Partner.

“Looking at the B2B business, about 40% of the market are SMBs,” says Amir Blich, vcita, Chief Business Development Officer. “And it's a very volatile market. You cannot apply enterprise use cases and tactics to it. One in every three SMBs will not make it to the second or third year. It's very difficult to invest in this market.” “36%. told us that they recently changed their telco provider because of either pricing changes or a better offer.” Amir Blich vcita, the business management platform for SMBs and the organizations that serve them, conducted a survey of 250 SMB owners in the US about their relationships with their telcos.

A good interview is when you get to know your guest along with your audience. Most people want you to change because they don't have the ability to change. Trust, value, and credibility. Everyone has a super power, but people are too focused on other peoples' that they neglect their own. Most that have overnight success, won't last ten years. You don't know how to connect or relate to people that aren't you. You can't stand for culture if you've never stood in culture. Pay attention to the messenger, not the message. You need to treat your life the same way you treat your business. None of the stuff in your life will be dope if you're not dope. To enter this circle, you must first show respect for yourself.   Follow Clinton @ClintonSparks  Learn more about him at https://Clintonsparks.com Watch the full video episode on Brad's Rumble here: https://rumble.com/c/c-2544182  Watch the full video episode on Brad's Youtube Here: https://bradlea.tv
