As U.S. and Israeli forces continue to dimmish Iran's military capabilities, Tehran is moving towards more asymmetrical warfare with cyberattacks and the cutting off of the important trade route of the Straight of Hormuz. Iran's proxy groups using low end drones and speedboats to attack on U.S. and other Mideast nation's owned oil and energy infrastructures aim to damage the worked economy. Meanwhile, a U.S. medical device company, Stryker, confirmed they experienced a cyberattack focused on their Microsoft platform that shares patient information and real time data. More cyberattacks, like the one on Stryker, are feared to be coming as politically motivated hackers act like digital sleeper cells. FOX's Jonathan Savage speaks with Bill Udell, former CIA Operations Officer and Analyst, and the Chief Executive Officer, The Americas at Control Risks, bringing expertise in risk management and international operations, who says Iran's low sophisticated weaponry and attack capabilities could still cause major problems.

Chase Idleman, Chief Executive Officer of Arlow, is leveraging emerging AgeTech and the longevity economy to develop solutions for an aging population, their families, and caregivers. With a human-centered approach to the entire aging process, Arlow uses AI to create a system for action for adults over 65 and their support networks. The main goal is to make tasks like care coordination, document management, medication adherence, and detecting changes in behavior and physical abilities easier. Chase explains, "AgeTech is more around the people in the population. So if you look at aging, it is not one point in time, but is truly a continuum and impacts so many people. It's not just the person who's aging, but also the family members and the entire circle of care around them. So, AgeTech is that kind of emerging field, which is how I try to differentiate it. Again, it's not product-centric, but it is really human-centric over a continuum of time."   "What we felt was the biggest opportunity was not only creating a solution for older adults, but creating a solution for the circle of care, the people every single day who are helping those older adults. And in parallel, we really started to lean in on this employer front with the workforce. So in the workforce environment, it's pretty interesting, 25% of FMLA is for caregiving. And right now, there's not a ton of solutions that can support them. So those workers are essentially the circle of care." #Arlow #AgeTech #AI #Healthcare #Aging #Innovation #DigitalHealth #Longevity #Caregiving #HealthTech #SeniorCare #FamilyCaregivers #CaregiverBurnout #OlderAdults #EmployeeBenefits #EmployeeAssistantPrograms Arlow.ai Download the transcript here

Elevating Customer Support Teams with Smart AI Integration  Shep interviews Sam Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of 8x8. He talks about the evolving role of AI in business communications and why customer experience professionals should be recognized as revenue generators rather than cost centers.   This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    What impact does self-service technology have on customer satisfaction?  How can AI self-service and human support work together effectively?   What drives customers to switch companies due to poor self-service?  What makes customers more forgiving of mistakes by human agents than AI systems?  Why should businesses view customer service as a revenue center rather than a cost center?  Top Takeaways:    Relying exclusively on self-service or automation is not enough. Customers should always have a way to speak to a real person when technology can't meet their needs. AI-powered solutions work well for routine requests, but there must be a seamless failover to a human agent when things get complicated or the customer is dissatisfied.  California has enacted a law requiring companies to offer a quick, clear option for customers to connect with a human representative if their self-service solutions, often powered by AI, don't deliver satisfactory results.  AI and automation in customer service are growing, reducing the volume of easy, repetitive cases handled by humans. More complex and sensitive issues are go to human agents and as a result, today's customer support agents are required to handle more complex issues and provide a higher level of expertise and empathy, making them specialists rather than agents.  The customer support department is a revenue center. Delivering consistently excellent experiences leads to higher retention rates, repeat business, and positive reviews.   Customers of different ages have distinct preferences for how they interact with support. Older customers lean towards phone support, while younger generations prefer chat or digital channels. But both demographics still want the assurance of being able to call a support agent if their problem isn't resolved online.  Leading companies like Amazon have set the standard for customer support by combining AI for routine tasks with proactive escalation to human agents when needed. They have created a seamless customer experience by enabling quick, easy connection with knowledgeable support agents and avoiding the need to repeat themselves to get their issue resolved.   Regular customers sustain and grow a company. Regular customers drive steady revenue and are typically the brand's biggest advocates.  The future of customer service lies in integrating effective technology with empowered employees. Companies that invest in effective digital solutions and well-trained customer specialists are best positioned to create positive experiences, adapt to customer preferences, and succeed in a competitive marketplace.  Effective customer support isn't rocket science. The technology exists today to empower both businesses and consumers with choice and flexibility, and it is more affordable than it was five or ten years ago. The real differentiator is the willingness to implement these solutions and put the customer's needs first.   Quote:   "One of the great mistakes tech companies make is we talk too much about features and don't talk enough about our customers."     About:    Sam Wilson is the Chief Executive Officer of 8x8, with over 25 years of experience in finance, investment, and sales. He has held several key leadership roles at 8x8, including Chief Financial Officer and Chief Customer Officer.  Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.    Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode features a live audience conversation and tasting at The Vine Club in Atlanta, GA with Pauline Vranken, the Chief Executive Officer of Vranken-Pommery America. This was Pauline's first ever visit to Atlanta, and she brought a variety of sparkling wines for us to taste from California, England, and Champagne. Our friends at Georgia Crown Distributing Co. had the brilliant idea of pairing this eclectic lineup of sparkling wines with a variety of pizza flavors throughout the night. We talk about the historical legacy of Madame Pommery, her connection to the arts, and how carrying on her innovative spirit still grounds a lot of the work being done in the company today. Pauline earned her Master of Science in Civil Engineering, with a Concentration in Real Estate, Construction and Finance from Columbia University and is currently based in New York City. She says Champagne runs in her veins, so we ask her to also shed light on the significance and current status of the sparkling wine category in the wine industry as a whole today.

Synopsis: Addiction is often misunderstood as a failure of willpower—but emerging science increasingly shows it may be deeply rooted in biology. In this episode of Biotech 2050, recorded during JPM 2026 in San Francisco, host Alok Tayi speaks with Cary Claiborne, CEO of Adial Pharmaceuticals, about a new precision-medicine approach to tackling one of the world's most widespread and undertreated conditions: alcohol use disorder. Cary shares the personal and professional journey that brought him into addiction medicine—from a career in finance at global corporations to helping take pioneering biotech companies public and ultimately leading Adial's mission to address addiction through science. After losing a close family member to addiction, Cary became determined to focus his work on diseases where innovation could create meaningful societal impact. The discussion explores Adial's genetically targeted therapy, designed to reduce alcohol cravings without requiring patients to stop drinking entirely. Cary explains how their repurposed low-dose therapy, paired with a simple cheek-swab diagnostic test, could help identify the patients most likely to benefit—bringing a precision-medicine framework to addiction treatment, an area that has seen little therapeutic innovation in more than two decades. Alok and Cary also examine the broader landscape of addiction science, the societal costs of untreated alcohol use disorder, and how AI-driven clinical simulations are helping design smarter Phase III trials. Looking ahead, Cary discusses how this scientific platform could expand into other impulse-driven conditions, including opioid addiction, gambling, and compulsive behaviors. It's a compelling conversation about precision psychiatry, addiction medicine, and the future of neuropsychiatric drug development. Biography: Cary Claiborne was named Chief Executive Officer of Adial Pharmaceuticals in August 2022 after previously being appointed Chief Operating Officer in December 2021 and being named to the Board of Directors. Mr. Claiborne previously served as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and board member of Indivior PLC, a publicly traded specialty pharmaceutical company developing medicines to treat addiction and serious mental illnesses. Among his accomplishments, Mr. Claiborne led the company's spin off from its then parent company, Reckitt Benckiser, to become an independent, listed company. While at Indivior, he established and oversaw corporate reporting, internal audit, tax, treasury, external audit, and information technology. Prior to joining Indivior, Mr. Claiborne served as the CFO of Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a global biopharmaceutical company, which was later sold to Mallinckrodt. Before joining Sucampo, Mr. Claiborne served as CFO and Corporate Secretary of Osiris Therapeutics, Inc., and oversaw corporate finance during the company's initial public offering. He graduated from Rutgers University with a B.A. in Business Administration and from Villanova University with an M.B.A. and was a National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) Governance Fellow.

Burnout is not a badge of honor. For years, working 22-hour days and never taking holidays was worn as proof of resilience. But the reality is different. A 2025 study published in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine estimates burnout costs employers between $4,000 and $21,000 per employee per year in lost productivity, disengagement, and turnover. In this Wise Words episode, Justin Tamsett sits down with clinician, scientist, and founder of New Approach Health, Emahlea Wilcher, to unpack what burnout really is, how it impacts your body and brain, and what you can do right now to protect yourself and your team. If you are a coach, club owner, fitness entrepreneur, or leader who feels constantly tired, irritable, foggy, or disconnected, this conversation is essential listening.   Key highlights from the episode: What burnout actually is and how to recognize the early warning signs before you crash How burnout impacts your body, brain, relationships, and income Practical strategies to prevent burnout for yourself and your team   Curious about the future host of Fitness Business Podcast?

Watch… https://youtu.be/jqE5vfTRewc About this episode… As advisory practices grow larger and more sophisticated, the definition of success is shifting. For many advisors, it's no longer just about income or payout. It's about ownership, alignment, and building something that carries real enterprise value. That shift raises important questions, such as: What does scale actually enable? How should advisors think about capital? And what does alignment really look like between firm leadership, capital providers, and the advisors they serve? To explore that, we invited three guests who see this from unique vantage points. James Poer, who leads Kestra Holdings, John Amore, who oversees the strategy and execution behind Kestra Financial's growth, and Fayez Muhtadie, who represents Stone Point Capital, Kestra's private equity partner. Kestra today operates one of the larger independent wealth management ecosystems in the country, supporting roughly 1,450 advisors and overseeing more than $160B in assets across its broker dealer and RIA platforms. Stone Point, for its part, is a financial services-focused private equity firm with decades of experience investing in banks, asset managers, insurers, and wealth platforms. Together, they represent a scaled, privately backed model that has become increasingly common in our industry. In this episode with Louis Diamond, they unpack what they describe as “multiple ways to win” actually means inside a platform of this size, including: The Kestra ecosystem—and how the firm has evolved from its founding to spin-off from NPF. The value of private equity ownership—and how common misconceptions impact the positive potential. The importance of cultural alignment—and how it can be preserved as firms grow. Growth and scale—and why James believes this business is not an income game, but a wealth game. Plus, the questions advisors should be asking when assessing their current firm or platform. If you're evaluating scale, ownership, or long-term enterprise value in your business, this is a conversation worth hearing.

Today, I'm excited to speak with Chris Bull, Chief Executive Officer of Northern Jet, one of the nation's premier private aviation companies delivering personalized travel solutions for entrepreneurs, executives, and families across the United States. With more than two decades of experience in aviation leadership, Chris has guided Northern Jet through a period of significant growth and transformation — most notably leading the 2023 merger of SpeedBird and Northern Jet Management, which established the company as one of the largest independently owned private aviation providers in the country. Under Chris's leadership, Northern Jet continues to set the standard for safety, reliability, and authentic client relationships, offering fractional ownership, jet management, and jet card programs designed to help clients make the most of their most valuable asset — time. Chris and his company, Northern Jet, are valued specialist advisor members of FOX and we are thrilled to have their expertise within our community. There has been a lot of change and developments in the private aviation space, especially in the past few years, so we start with a quick overview of the space. Chris offers his definition of private aviation these days and describes the evergreen benefits that attract UHNW clients to fly private. He also outlines the most notable trends that have been reshaping this niche industry. Chris then outlines the key options UHNW clients face and often must decide between, covering all the "4 lanes" of private aviation, as he defines them. He describes these different avenues and compares their pros and cons. Chris provides a comprehensive overview of the different types of vendors and players who comprise the private aviation space, equipping our listeners with all they need to know about these distinct companies serving the private aviation space. He also outlines how his company's consultative model works in helping clients navigate the choices and decisions they face in this sector. Finally, Chriss provides some practical tips and tools he recommends to families and family offices who are considering or are actively utilizing various private aviation services and operating models. This is a highly instructive conversation with one of the top advisors and service providers in the private aviation industry specializing in solutions for UHNW individuals, enterprise families, and their family offices.

Graphene is a 2-dimensional variety of the element carbonIt's what's know as a carbon "allotrope" consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms tightly bound in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice.Graphene is known for its exceptionally high tensile strength, electrical conductivity, transparency, and being the thinnest two-dimensional material in the world.Despite the nearly transparent nature of a single graphene sheet, graphite (formed from stacked layers of graphene) appears black because it absorbs all visible light wavelengths.On a microscopic scale, graphene is the strongest material ever measured.Graphene is a versatile, ultra-strong, and highly conductive material used to enhance batteries (faster charging), create durable anti-corrosion coatings, develop flexible electronics, improve solar panel efficiency, and advance biomedical applications like drug delivery.It acts as a super-material additive in composites, strengthening everything from tennis rackets to car tires.To discuss the coming graphene revolution, we have the good fortune to talk with Kjirstin Breure, President and Chief Executive Officer of HydroGraph Clean PowerSCHEDULE YOUR FREE PORTFOLIO REVIEW with Thoughtful Money's endorsed financial advisors at https://www.thoughtfulmoney.com#graphene #graphenecoating #hydrograph_____________________________________________ Thoughtful Money LLC is a Registered Investment Advisor Promoter.We produce educational content geared for the individual investor.

In this episode of Med Tech Gurus, we welcome Neil Klompas, Chief Executive Officer of Augurex Life Sciences. With more than two decades of experience leading companies at the intersection of diagnostics, rheumatology, and translational medicine, Neil is pioneering a new era of autoimmune biomarker discovery. Under his leadership, Augurex developed SpineStat, the world's first blood test designed to identify axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA)—a chronic inflammatory spinal disease that affects millions yet often goes undiagnosed for nearly a decade. By leveraging the anti-14-3-3η autoantibody in combination with CRP, SpineStat is helping clinicians detect disease earlier, prevent irreversible spinal damage, and even reduce opioid dependence through faster, targeted treatment. Neil shares how engaging early with regulators helped Augurex earn FDA Breakthrough Device Designation, why he believes rheumatology is poised for its "oncology moment," and how keeping his team centered on the patient journey drives innovation every day. If you're passionate about precision diagnostics, regulatory navigation, and building mission-driven teams, this episode is a masterclass in turning unmet medical need into measurable clinical impact.

A veteran of the global crypto industry, Colin Goltra has been an early adopter and advocate for digital assets throughout his career.Colin Goltra is the Chief Executive Officer of Morph, a blockchain platform building universal infrastructure for borderless payments and financial services. He recently joined the Bitcoin.com News Podcast to talk about the market.In this episode Colin identifies the previous year as the critical "stablecoin moment," driven by a perfect storm of regulatory clarity (like the Genius Act and MiCA) and technological advancements on smart-contracting ecosystems that have finally solved the performance and scalability issues that plagued earlier attempts with Bitcoin. Morph's mission has pivoted to stablecoin-based global payment settlement, adopting a "ruthlessly pragmatic" strategy to prepare for a market that could be dominated by either one or two fiat-backed stablecoins (USD-linked like USDC and USDT) or by a rise in relevant regional stablecoins.He highlights the profound impact of stablecoins in emerging economies, where access to the dollar provides a crucial hedge against high local fiat inflation, citing the Philippine Peso as a prime example. Looking at the current landscape, Colin pinpoints four key active verticals in crypto: institutional stablecoin-based payments, the significant growth of Real-World Assets (RWAs), prediction markets for valuable information, and the emerging space of Agentic AI, which will require crypto layers for payment and transacting.The long-term vision for crypto, according to Colin, anticipates a transition from a purely "cryptonative" era to a more institutional and pragmatic phase over the next decade. He predicts that for the average person, the underlying blockchain infrastructure will "melt away at the UX level," becoming an invisible rail for better, faster payment solutions. A major challenge remains a knowledge gap for small and mid-sized businesses. To address this, Morph is funding a $150 million payment accelerator to incentivize traditional payment businesses to migrate their transaction volume onto the Morph chain.

With over a billion creators projected to be active in the next decade, is the traditional distinction between a brand, a publisher, and a creator in need of an updated definition? Agility requires not just reacting to new platforms, but fundamentally rethinking who creates your content and how you build an authentic community around it. It's about moving from a campaign mindset to an ecosystem mindset. Today, we're going to talk about the seismic shift in the media landscape, driven by the explosive growth of the creator economy. We'll explore how the very definition of a creator is evolving from a short-term influencer to a long-term brand builder, and what opportunities and challenges this presents for established brands that are trying to earn and keep their audience's attention.

In this episode of Molecule to Market, you'll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Banks Bourne, Founder & Chief Executive Officer at Bourne Partners.   Your host, Raman Sehgal, discusses the pharmaceutical and biotechnology supply chain with Banks, covering:   How making a bet in the right place at the right time sparked an extraordinary journey in pharma investing. The founding of Bourne Partners and a twenty five plus year ride through multiple market cycles. Lessons from hundreds of deals, and why the best investments are often the most complex and hardest won. Why running from ego and listening obsessively to clients is one of the most underrated advantages in private equity. Why private equity has become increasingly commoditised, and why Banks believes momentum is building and sentiment is turning positive heading into 2026. As Founder and CEO, Banks oversees all business operations and direct investment opportunities at Bourne Partners. He and the firm have been party to more than $10 billion of transactions in the pharmaceutical (“pharma”), pharma services, and consumer healthcare sectors. Banks is also the founder of Tanner Pharma Group, a pharma services company dedicated to providing managed access, commercialization, and clinical trials services to patients and partners in more than 100 countries.   For almost 20 years, Bourne Partners has transacted with nearly all major pharmaceutical and specialty pharmaceuticals companies around the world, including Banks' initial investment in King Pharmaceuticals in the late 1990's. This investment introduced Banks to the pharmaceutical world and jump started his interest in the healthcare sector. Since then, he has invested in more than 200 private companies / assets.   While Banks has derived great satisfaction by offering focused advisory services to, and investing in, pharma, healthcare, and consumer-oriented companies that need strategic and operational insights, he is even more gratified knowing that his work has helped companies to improve the health and well-being of patients across the world. Banks is passionate about providing healthcare, and specifically pharmaceuticals, to less fortunate patients, as demonstrated by supporting The Max Foundation, Partners in Health, The Bourne Foundation, The Levine Children's Hospital, and other non-profit organizations. He received a B.A. degree in Business Management (Magna Cum Laude) from North Carolina State University and an M.B.A. from Wake Forest University. He is a member of Young Presidents Organization (YPO). Molecule to Market is also sponsored by Bora Pharmaceuticals, and supported by Lead Candidate.

This week on The Business of Watches, we go behind the scenes with the man who compiles and crunches the numbers for the Morgan Stanley Swiss Watcher report, the most influential and widely read annual financial league table on the industry. Oliver Müller has been around the sector for some three decades, beginning his career at Omega before executive roles at a series of brands, including Laurent Ferrier, where he served as Chief Executive Officer. He's now a consultant to the industry and has helped shape brand strategy and positioning for the likes of Akrivia and Rexhep Rexhepi, among others.  Müller's most high-profile gig these days is compiling the estimates of Swiss brand revenue and volumes for the Morgan Stanley report. It's the top league table for the sector, and he tells us how he calculates and decides on the estimates that get published. Not everyone is a fan. Swatch Group has long criticized the report, now in its 9th edition, and Müller tells us why he believes Swatch and its leadership don't always appreciate the numbers. But first, Hodinkee founder Ben Clymer drops in for his Business of Watches debut. Ben tells us about his recent trip to Geneva and what he's hearing from some of the big brand executives.

Welcome to this week's Follower Friday episode of The Green Insider. The podcast features an in‑depth conversation with Eric Unverzagt, Chief Executive Officer of BCarbon, a Houston‑based non‑profit carbon registry and research center focused on advancing credible solutions within the voluntary carbon market. During the interview, Unverzagt outlines BCarbon's mission to develop scientifically rigorous and transparent methodologies that support high‑quality carbon credits while delivering measurable environmental benefits. Unverzagt explains that BCarbon has established four core carbon credit protocols designed to address different forms of carbon reduction and sequestration. These include soil carbon sequestration, forestry projects, living shorelines, and methane mitigation through the plugging of abandoned and orphaned oil and gas wells. Together, these protocols reflect BCarbon's emphasis on nature‑based and emission-reduction strategies that are both environmentally impactful and economically viable. A significant portion of the discussion centers on methane mitigation, which Unverzagt highlights as an especially effective approach due to methane's potency as a greenhouse gas. By supporting well‑plugging projects, BCarbon aims to reduce emissions that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere while simultaneously creating opportunities for land restoration and local economic activity. This work positions methane mitigation as a practical bridge between environmental responsibility and market‑driven solutions. The interview also previews BCarbon's upcoming methane‑focused conference, scheduled for March 11–12 at the Greater Houston Partnership facility. The event is designed to convene a diverse group of stakeholders from across the carbon and energy ecosystems, including carbon credit buyers, project developers, policy and market experts, and technical specialists involved in methane plugging initiatives. According to Unverzagt, the conference will serve both an educational and collaborative purpose. Attendees will gain insights into the environmental and economic value of methane mitigation projects, as well as a clearer understanding of how carbon credits function within the voluntary market. Just as importantly, the event is intended to foster meaningful connections among participants, encouraging partnerships that can accelerate adoption of sustainable practices and expand the impact of methane reduction efforts. Overall, the podcast underscores BCarbon's role in shaping standards for high‑integrity carbon credits while highlighting methane mitigation as a key opportunity for climate action. Through research, protocol development, and industry convenings such as the upcoming conference, BCarbon seeks to strengthen trust, transparency, and collaboration within the voluntary carbon market.
