What if the problem isn't that you need more stages — but that your message isn't clear enough to earn them?In this episode of Become Empowered, Sabine sits down with speaker, author, and coach Marta Spirk — a fellow performer who traded the entertainment stage for a mission of guiding women to find their voice and own the spotlight.Marta shares her remarkable journey: growing up singing in her mother's church in Brazil, building a career in translation and interpreting, singing the national anthem for pro sports teams across Colorado, and the 2016 "plot twist" that changed everything — learning five weeks into her first pregnancy that she was carrying triplets.Together, Sabine and Marta explore the abundance mindset that says there is room for every voice, why believing you have something valuable to say is the real starting line, and the patience it takes to build something that lasts.In this conversation:Why "what got you here won't get you there" applies to every speakerThe most common belief blocking women from the stageWhy clarity — not more eyeballs — is the key to being rememberedHow defeat and lost control became Marta's greatest teachersHer father's one-word wedding-day advice that still guides her businessConnect with Marta Spirk:Website: MartaSpirk.comLinkedIn, Facebook & Instagram: Marta SpirkConnect with Sabine:Website: sabinekvenberg.comBook a call: calendly.com/coachsabine/connect-with-sabineOrder Gumption: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HCW45FXJ

The Echo Sport Podcast crew on moving weekend in Cork club GAA, the fallout from the second round of football games and what to expect next week on the hurling front.As expected leading contenders Nemo Rangers and St Finbarr's bounced back from their surprise defeats to put themselves in strong positions to qualify for the knockout stages.However, Newcestown, who beat Nemo previously, fell short against neighbours Valley Rovers to leave that group delicately balanced. It's the same in the toughest group at Premier Senior. Knocknagree got their first victory at that level against Ballincollig, who must now try and avoid a relegation playoff, while the Carbery derby between Castlehaven and Clonakilty ended up all square.It means wins for Knockagree and Clon next month would see the Haven eliminated.St Michael's, Mallow and the Collig are under pressure, having lost both their matches.There was an upset at Senior A when a last-gasp Ryan O'Keeffe free saw Newmarket take down Cill na Martra. Carbery Rangers beat O'Donovan Rossa so Newmarket could end up knocked out on scoring difference despite their two wins after their last match.Kilshannig had a statement win when they blitzed Bishopstown but Clyda versus Éire Óg was postponed due to a bereavement.In Premier Intermediate, Macroom are on a roll after a couple of seasons battling relegation while Kilmurry's comeback against Buttevant at Intermediate A leaves them on two wins, same as Mitchelstown and Adrigole.Next weekend's hurling should be terrific, with Glen Rovers, the Barrs and Sars are facing an unexpected early exit unless they can emerge victorious.Now in its fourth season, every Monday, Éamonn Murphy is joined by The Echo team, including Barry O'Mahony, Denis Hurley, Rory Noonan, John Horgan and more to discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field.

What happens when business owners stop accepting scattered systems, manual follow-ups, and time-consuming workflows as "just part of running a business"? In this episode of Staging Sips, Lori sits down with Harlowe founding members Kishah Langham and Erin Galvin to talk candidly about the frustrations that led them to search for a better way to run their staging businesses. Kishah brings 15 years of business experience in Houston, Texas, while Erin is approaching her first anniversary as a staging business owner in Colorado. Although they entered Harlowe at very different stages of business, they shared the same goal: creating systems that would make their work simpler, faster, and easier to grow. They share how bringing scheduling, proposals, agreements, payments, client communication, renewals, reporting, and business insights into one place has changed their day-to-day operations. Erin explains how she reduced the time required to complete a consultation report and can now send a professional proposal in about five minutes, even from the pool with her children. Kishah shares how Harlowe helped streamline her staging services and educational events while eliminating the need to chase registrations and payments across multiple platforms. You'll also hear how their real-world feedback helped shape Harlowe. Kishah's staging school inspired Harlowe's event functionality, while Erin's workflow inspired new ways to use project images within proposals. Their experiences reveal what it truly looks like to help build a platform while actively using it to run a business. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why Kishah wanted reliable systems in place before expanding her team Why Erin prioritized systems during her first year in business How combining disconnected business tools creates a simpler daily workflow How automated scheduling allows clients and agents to book and pay without back-and-forth communication How Erin reduced the time required to produce her consultation reports How reusable proposal templates can turn a lengthy process into a five-minute task How a streamlined proposal, agreement, and payment experience can help clients move forward faster Why Harlowe founding members averaged just seven minutes between opening a proposal and completing payment How Kishah uses Harlowe's Lookbook to show her work directly inside her proposals How Harlowe helped Kishah streamline registration and payment for her staging school and events How automated renewal reminders and payments reduce missed deadlines and manual follow-up How business analytics can provide clearer revenue forecasts, goals, and pricing insights How gaining time back has helped Erin focus on marketing, networking, and her family How gaining time back has helped Kishah grow her staging school and support the Black staging community How Kishah and Erin's feedback directly influenced features within Harlowe What it was really like to test Harlowe during its earliest stages Kishah and Erin also share the human side of adopting a new system: finding bugs, suggesting improvements, trusting the process, and watching their ideas become features that can serve staging businesses throughout the industry. Their stories show what becomes possible when technology fits the way you actually work. Fewer disconnected tools. Faster proposals. Smoother payments. Clearer business information. More time to grow your company and live your life.   LEARN MORE ABOUT STAGING BUSINESS SCHOOL HERE!

A strong production day does not always mean a dental practice used its time efficiently. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt and Miranda Beeson, co-host of The Best Practices Show, explain why production per hour provides a clearer view of provider efficiency than production per day alone. You will learn how schedule design, procedure mix, capacity utilization, delegation, and provider hours influence productivity, as well as how to calculate and evaluate production per hour in your practice. To better understand the efficiency behind your production numbers, listen to Episode 1081 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Production per day shows the total outcome, while production per hour reveals how efficiently provider time was used.A high-production day may still be inefficient when it requires extra hours, rushed appointments, fragmented procedures, or working through lunch.Intentional scheduling and an appropriate procedure mix can help practices maintain production while reducing clinical hours.Measuring schedule utilization helps practices identify lost production caused by unfilled provider and hygiene time.Comparing high-performing and low-performing schedules can reveal which procedures, workflows, and provider habits improve hourly productivity.Delegating tasks to trained team members allows dentists to focus on the clinical responsibilities only they can perform.Production per hour should be reviewed with curiosity and used to improve systems rather than punish or compare providers.Episode Chapters:00:00 Why production per hour provides a clearer view than production per day.01:00 Introduction to Metric Mondays and production efficiency.02:17 The difference between daily production and hourly production.03:48 What inefficient production looks like in practice.05:24 Why production per hour is the ultimate measure of efficiency.06:34 Creating leadership time through more strategic scheduling.07:26 What practices do differently when they measure time effectively.09:22 Improving production through schedule and capacity utilization.10:12 The financial impact of open hygiene appointments.11:18 How to calculate production per hour.12:01 Comparing provider schedules and procedure mix.13:18 Delegation as a way to improve provider efficiency.14:41 Asking the team how efficiently time was used.15:17 Using production data to identify practice opportunities.Guest Bio:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience. She is enthusiastic about communication and loves helping others find the power that words can bring to their patient interactions and practice dynamics. As a Lead Practice Coach, she is driven to create opportunities to find value in experiences and cultivate new approaches.Miranda graduated from Old Dominion University, and enjoys spending time with her husband, Chuck, and her children, Trent, Mallory, and Cassidy.

Jabra Evolve3 Headsets Bring Clearer Voice Input to AI-Powered Collaboration, Podcast, Jabra recently expanded the Evolve3 range with the Evolve3 65 Flex, Evolve3 65 and Evolve3 45, providing purpose-built options for hybrid professionals, open-office employees and desk-based callers By Doug Green “Voice is becoming increasingly important in that collaboration with AI.” In this Technology Reseller News podcast, I speak with Michelle Ritz, Headset Marketing Manager at Jabra, about the expanded Jabra Evolve3 professional headset lineup, the evolution of workplace audio and why high-quality voice capture is becoming essential for AI-powered collaboration. Jabra recently expanded the Evolve3 range with the Evolve3 65 Flex, Evolve3 65 and Evolve3 45, providing purpose-built options for hybrid professionals, open-office employees and desk-based callers. The three models join the premium Evolve3 75 and Evolve3 85 to create a broader workplace audio portfolio designed around how employees actually work. Technology Reseller News previously reported on the expanded portfolio in Jabra Expands Evolve3 Headset Range for AI-Driven Collaboration and published the complete product announcement in Jabra Expands Evolve3 Range. Ritz explains why the traditional “one headset fits everyone” approach no longer works. An employee spending the day at a desk has different requirements from someone working in a noisy open office or moving between home, corporate offices, airports, trains and shared workspaces. The Evolve3 45 is a lightweight on-ear headset designed for frequent desk-based calling. The Evolve3 65 adds stronger noise control for professionals working in busy offices, while the portable and foldable Evolve3 65 Flex is designed for hybrid and mobile workers who need professional call quality across multiple locations. Although each headset is designed for a different workstyle, Jabra has brought important core capabilities across the range rather than reserving them exclusively for premium models. These include Jabra ClearVoice technology, professional voice pickup, in-call active noise cancellation and centralized device management. A central theme of the podcast is the changing relationship between workplace audio and artificial intelligence. As organizations adopt AI meeting assistants, voice is becoming an important data input. Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet and other collaboration platforms can now use spoken conversations to produce transcripts, meeting summaries, action items and follow-up content. However, the quality of those AI-generated results depends on the quality of the audio being captured. Poor voice pickup can lead to incorrect transcripts, incomplete summaries and unreliable AI output. In sectors such as healthcare, financial services and law, even a small transcription error can change the meaning of an important conversation. Jabra ClearVoice uses AI-powered deep-learning technology to isolate the speaker's voice from surrounding conversations, office noise and wind. Ritz discusses how clearer voice capture helps the person on the other end of a call while also giving AI collaboration tools more accurate information to process. The conversation also examines how employee expectations have changed. People increasingly expect workplace headsets to provide the comfort, audio quality, portability and ease of use they experience with personal technology. IT departments, meanwhile, need secure devices that can be deployed and managed consistently across an enterprise. The expanded Jabra Evolve3 lineup is designed to address both needs: more headset choice for employees and a manageable professional audio platform for IT. As voice becomes an increasingly important input for AI-powered meetings and workflows, a professional headset is no longer simply a peripheral for making calls. It is becoming part of the infrastructure that determines how accurately people—and the AI systems assisting them—can communicate. Learn more at Jabra.com/evolve3.

(SHOW OPEN): There's never been a clearer case or better time for the Yankees to fire Aaron Boone.

Send us Fan MailA noisy room can make a person feel like their hearing aids “aren't working” even when the technology is top-tier. The real culprit is often physics: distance, background noise, reverberation, and a brutal signal-to-noise ratio that no microphone can magically fix from 40 feet away. That's the problem Auracast Broadcast Audio is built to tackle, and it's why Bluetooth LE Audio broadcasting is such a big deal for hearing accessibility in public spaces. We dig into what Auracast is in plain language: one audio source can broadcast to many compatible receivers, including hearing aids, cochlear implants, and earbuds. Then we get very clear about what it is not. Auracast does not diagnose hearing loss, does not replace real-ear measurement, and does not replace properly fit prescriptive hearing technology. The right framing is simple and powerful: hearing aids are foundational, and Auracast is an access layer that can deliver important audio more directly in places like theaters, houses of worship, airports, tours, and conference rooms. If you're a hearing care professional or you run an audiology clinic, we also lay out a practical readiness plan: get fluent in the basics, train your whole team on consistent patient-facing language, build an in-office demo patients can actually try, and expand into community education. Finally, we talk about turning Auracast into stronger relationships with local venues while staying honest about real-world roadblocks like device compatibility and software updates. If this helped you rethink public-space listening, subscribe, share the episode with a colleague, and leave a review.

This week on Fed Watch, ITR Economist and Speaker Lauren Saidel-Baker breaks down what looked like a strong GDP report and explains why the headline doesn't tell the whole story. Consumer spending weakened, inflation accelerated, and the latest PCE data may have significantly changed the outlook for interest rates. If your business is waiting for lower borrowing costs or trying to plan for the months ahead, these mixed economic signals could have important implications. Lauren explains what the latest data really means and why the Fed's next move may already be taking shape. Will higher inflation force the Fed to raise rates sooner than expected?

I've just returned from Self Love Camp, a retreat where I spent a few days guiding breathwork, listening to inspiring speakers, learning new things, and stepping away from the routines of everyday life.As I drove home, I found myself reflecting on something I always notice after retreats and intentional breaks: I come back feeling different. Clearer. More creative. More connected to myself. And it got me wondering - what is it about stepping away that feels so powerful?In this episode of Take a Breath, I explore how to give your nervous system a real breath and what I believe is one of the missing ingredients in modern life: space. Space to think, feel, reflect and hear yourself again. Drawing on neuroscience, nervous system science, and my own experiences of attending and hosting retreats, I share why creating intentional space isn't a luxury - it's something our brains and bodies genuinely need.In this episode, I share:

Most people on a spiritual path want to hear Spirit more clearly. Stronger intuition. Clearer guidance. More reliable signs. And underneath all of that is something deeply human: the desire to feel certain, safe, and loved by something greater than themselves.But what if the thing standing between you and that clarity is not what you think it is?In this episode, Therese Tucker explores a foundational spiritual practice that tends to get skipped in favor of the more exciting stuff and makes the case that without it, everything else we reach for on the spiritual path has nowhere solid to land.Drawing on the Law of One and her own years of practice, Therese shares a simple personal framework for developing this skill, explores why so many of us find it genuinely difficult in the world we are living in right now, and offers an answer to the question of how we develop real discernment that might not be what you were expecting.✨ This episode is an invitation to stop waiting for Spirit to get louder and to let life get a little quieter instead.✨ Continue your spiritual journey with Therese Tucker:

Ralph Goff is a retired senior CIA officer and former intelligence executive, best known as a six-time CIA Chief of Station with a 35-year career in U.S. intelligence. His overseas service included postings and operational work across Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, South Asia, and several war zones. He later served as Chief of Operations for Europe and Eurasia and as head of the CIA's National Resources Division, where he worked with senior U.S. private-sector figures in finance, banking, and security.Before joining the CIA, Goff served in the U.S. Army as a Russian linguist and signals intelligence officer on the East German border during the late Cold War, monitoring Soviet forces. After retiring from the CIA in October 2023, he became a public commentator on intelligence, Russia, Ukraine, and great-power competition. He has traveled regularly to Ukraine, met with Ukrainian officials, and argued that Western support for Kyiv has often been too cautious. In a 2025 interview, he said the West had given Ukraine “enough weapons to bleed, not to win,” criticising fear of escalation as a strategic constraint. In 2025, Goff was reportedly selected by CIA Director John Ratcliffe to become Deputy Director for Operations, the post overseeing human intelligence and covert action, but the appointment was later withdrawn. Reporting by Politico and The Washington Post said the reversal surprised many intelligence professionals and was linked by sources to political concerns, including Goff's public support for Ukraine. Today, Goff is known as a forthright advocate for rebuilding U.S. clandestine capabilities, strengthening Western intelligence posture, and supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression. His public persona combines old-school operations experience, Atlanticist conviction, and a blunt critique of risk-aversion in Western policy.----------LINKS:https://www.thecipherbrief.com/experts/ralph-goffhttps://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ex-cia-chief-we-gave-ukraine-enough-weapons-to-bleed-not-to-win-r3q0r2fcghttps://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/02/cia-drops-agency-veteran-clandestine-operations-00267346----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Car4Ukrainehttps://car4ukraine.com/en-US/campaignsDzyga's Pawhttps://dzygaspaw.com/projectsSuperhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Your team is capable. You know that better than anyone. So when everything keeps routing back through you, the instinct is to look at them. More delegation. Better processes. Clearer expectations. None of that is the real fix. In this episode, I name the one thing your team is missing and why giving it to them changes every conversation after it.   INSIDE THE EPISODE The signal most leaders misread When your team keeps bringing things back to you, it is not about their capability. It is about information. I break down what that signal is actually telling you.   The story that changed how I see this One leader. One meeting. A team that went from routing everything through her to running three steps ahead. Here is exactly what she did and what shifted.   The picture you are carrying that your team does not have You have been in every closed-door meeting. You carry the full strategic context. Your team carries the task. That gap is where the routing lives, and it is smaller to close than you think.   What Monday looks like on the other side I paint the inbox you actually want. The messages that come in when your team has what they need to trust their own read on the situation.   WHAT TO TAKE WITH YOU Your team is not coming back to you because they cannot handle it. They are coming back because they do not have what they need to trust their own judgment on the call. The leaders who stop being the answer to everything are not better at delegating. They are better at sharing the picture. The context your team is missing is probably already in your head. You just forgot they did not have it.   SIT WITH THIS What strategic context are you carrying in your head that your team does not have? Not because you are protecting it. Because it never occurred to you that they did not already have it, or that they needed it.   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE The Invisible Weight, my free private audio series for leaders carrying more than they should have to right now.

The conversation around AI often focuses on what the technology can do. But the more important discussion may be what AI is exposing. Across organizations, AI Reality Gaps are appearing everywhere—not because AI is failing, but because it is revealing problems that were already there. Season 28 of Building Better Developers begins with a simple premise: AI is exposing the cracks. For years, companies have carried technical debt, process inefficiencies, undocumented systems, siloed knowledge, and weak decision-making structures. Those issues often remained hidden because people compensated for them. AI changes that equation. Why AI Reality Gaps Are Becoming Visible Many organizations approached AI as a solution. Need faster development? Use AI. Need better documentation? Use AI. Need more productivity? Use AI. The problem is that technology rarely fixes organizational dysfunction. It usually amplifies it. When teams introduce AI into poorly documented systems, AI inherits the confusion. When processes are unclear, AI accelerates inconsistency. When knowledge lives inside one person's head, AI has nothing reliable to learn from. The technology isn't creating new problems. It's making old problems impossible to ignore. AI often functions as an organizational mirror. It reflects existing strengths and weaknesses back to the business. AI Reality Gaps and the Documentation Problem One theme discussed in the season kickoff was the challenge of tribal knowledge. Many organizations operate on information that exists only in the minds of experienced employees. Systems work because certain people know how they work—not because anyone documented them. This model has survived for years because humans are remarkably adaptable. AI is far less forgiving. When an AI system encounters undocumented architecture, unclear workflows, or missing business rules, it cannot compensate with institutional memory. The result is often inaccurate recommendations, incomplete solutions, or confidence built on bad assumptions. The introduction of AI forces organizations to ask a difficult question: Do we actually understand our own systems? AI Reality Gaps Expose Process Weaknesses One of the most dangerous assumptions in technology is that speed automatically creates value. AI makes it easier to generate code, reports, summaries, and recommendations. But generating output faster doesn't improve the quality of decisions behind that output. Organizations that already have disciplined processes benefit enormously. Organizations without those foundations simply create bad outcomes faster. This creates a new reality for leaders: Success with AI depends less on the tool and more on the maturity of the systems surrounding it. Accelerating a broken process rarely fixes it. It usually increases the cost of failure. The Difference Between Automation and Understanding The season kickoff highlighted examples where AI produced misleading conclusions because it was given incomplete or poorly timed data. This is an important lesson. AI does not possess magical understanding. It processes the information it receives and generates conclusions based on that information. If the inputs are flawed, the outputs will be flawed. This reality shifts responsibility back to the people using the technology. The critical question becomes: Are we using AI to replace thinking, or are we using it to improve thinking? Organizations that treat AI as a decision-support system will generally outperform those that treat it as a decision-maker. Building Stronger Foundations Before Scaling AI As AI becomes embedded in software development, leadership, operations, and product management, foundational disciplines become more valuable—not less. Teams need: Better documentation Clearer ownership Consistent workflows Strong communication Shared understanding of business goals These capabilities may not feel innovative, but they create the conditions where innovation can thrive. AI rewards organizations that already know how to operate effectively. It punishes organizations that hoped technology would replace operational excellence. Identify one process your team relies on that exists primarily through tribal knowledge. Document it this week. The Future Isn't About More AI The future isn't simply about adding more AI. It's about creating organizations capable of using AI effectively. The companies that succeed won't necessarily be the ones with the most advanced tools. They'll be the ones with the strongest foundations. AI isn't exposing new problems. It's exposing old problems at a scale and speed we've never experienced before. Conclusion The biggest lesson from the Season 28 kickoff is that AI is not a shortcut around organizational discipline. Instead, it shines a spotlight on the areas businesses have neglected for years. The organizations that recognize and address these AI Reality Gaps today will be the ones best positioned to thrive tomorrow. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community

In this episode of The Sound of Economics, host Rebecca Christie speaks with European Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis, Bruegel Director Jeromin Zettelmeyer and research fellow Anne Bucher about how to make the European Union work better. Ukraine, Bruegel's newest state member, will soon receive more financial support but needs Europe to keep up its sanctions on Russia. How will the enlargement process shape relations between Kyiv and its neighbours? Closer to home, how should the Brussels institutions tackle simplification and deregulation? Can the European Commission do a better job with impact assessments to manage the costs and trade-offs of its policies? Does the EU need tougher enforcement against national gold-plating? As member states and the European Parliament put their stamp on, and add complexity to, new legislation, policymakers must find the political will to make the system work.

When you hit the wall at mile 19 of a marathon (or mile 80 of a 100-miler) it feels like your body is the problem. Your legs are concrete, your stomach is in revolt, and the finish line might as well be on the moon. But what if the wall is mostly in your head? Emily Balcetis is a social psychologist who studies how vision and perception shape motivation: how what people literally see changes what they believe they can do. She runs the SPAM Lab at NYU and is the author of Clearer, Closer, Better: How Successful People See the World. Her TED Talk on why some people find exercise harder than others has been viewed over a million times. Zoe and Brendan get into why highly motivated runners literally see the finish line as closer than it is, how Joan Benoit Samuelson used a woman in pink shorts to win the first Olympic women's marathon in 1984, and why the wall is a psychological phenomenon rather than a physiological one. Emily explains why willpower isn't a fixed trait you either have or don't, the if-then framework she calls foreshadowing failure, and how negativity bias means our brains lie to us about our own progress, which is why becoming your own accountant might be more useful than another motivational Post-it on the bathroom mirror. Plus: how Emily decided to learn the drums in a one-bedroom Manhattan apartment, and what it taught her about tracking the kind of progress the brain can't see.

New Officiating Deal, Real Stakes for Detroit A bright yellow flag hung behind the mic. The NFL just locked in its officials through 2032. The Detroit Lions Podcast dug into what that means and why it matters. No replacement refs are coming. That alone eases memories of the Fail Mary and Golden Tate's contested catch from the last time stand-ins worked games. The agreement adds access and structure. Officials will work more in the offseason at mini camps, training camp, and joint practices. The league plans to build a deeper bench of officials. It will also lean more on performance metrics for postseason assignments instead of seniority. For the Detroit Lions, that points to consistency and accountability in the biggest moments. Postseason Assignments, Grading, and Crew Continuity January football exposes crew chemistry. The league often selects individual officials for playoff crews rather than moving whole units together. That can create communication gaps. New voices. New tendencies. Timing and mechanics change. The show underscored how much smoother it gets when the same group works together repeatedly. Grading is the crux. The metrics that decide who advances remain largely opaque. Jeff and Chris stressed that accountability must be more than a memo. Better evaluations should translate to better assignments. Postseason games also pay more, so strong grades must matter. The deal includes an average 6.4% annual raise for officials. That is a meaningful incentive to refine standards and reward excellence without pretending perfection exists. Why Full-Time Refs Still Are Not the Answer The common call is to make officials full time. The reality is many do not want that. Officiating is not every official's primary income. Examples prove it. Referee Clete Blakeman is an attorney. Umpire Scott Campbell is a professional firefighter. Demanding full-time status would push out skilled people who prefer to keep their careers and still work NFL games. The new framework tries a different route. More reps with teams in the offseason. Clearer paths to the playoffs for those who grade well. More development on a deeper bench. Quick Lions Notes: Schedule Week and Mother's Day Monday's daily DLP arrived with schedule week on deck. The hosts recorded Sunday night after a family-first Mother's Day, a thoughtful moment that framed the show. Now it is back to business. The Detroit Lions will soon see the path to fall. The officiating changes will travel with them. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nflofficiating #replacementrefs #postseasonassignments #performancemetrics #trainingcamp #minicamps #jointpractices #deanblandino Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, we released a new episode of the award-winning Consumer Finance Monitor Podcast examining one of the most significant recent federal developments in the fight against scams and fraud: Executive Order 14390. Hosted by Alan Kaplinsky (the founder, chair for 25 years and now Senior Counsel in the Consumer Financial Services Group), the episode features returning guests Kate Griffin and Nick Bourke of the Aspen Institute, who previously joined the podcast to discuss Aspen's landmark report, United We Stand: A National Strategy to Prevent Scams.   Why This Episode Matters Scams and fraud continue to impose staggering losses on American households, businesses, and financial institutions. As discussed in the episode, the Aspen report framed scams as a "whole-of-society" problem requiring coordination across government, financial institutions, technology companies, telecom providers, and civil society. The new Executive Order appears to respond directly to that challenge by calling for: A coordinated federal anti-scam strategy Greater inter-agency cooperation Enhanced public-private information sharing Increased disruption of transnational scam networks Stronger victim restitution and recovery efforts More aggressive international enforcement tools, including sanctions and diplomatic pressure In many respects, the Executive Order may represent the first serious federal attempt to build a national strategy to combat scams. Key Themes Explored in the Episode During the discussion, Kate Griffin described the Executive Order as the "starting gun" in the race against scams—an important signal that the federal government is now treating scams as a national priority. Nick Bourke emphasized that success will require more than enforcement alone. He noted that regulators, financial institutions, telecom carriers, and digital platforms must be empowered to share information and intervene more effectively when suspicious activity is detected. The conversation also examined: Coordination Across Government The Executive Order relies heavily on the federal government's National Coordination Center framework to align agencies such as the Departments of Treasury, State, Justice, and Defense. Whether that coordination translates into meaningful operational change remains to be seen. 2. Information Sharing and Safe Harbors The guests explained that one of the largest barriers to scam prevention is the inability of private-sector participants to share threat intelligence quickly because of privacy, litigation, or antitrust concerns. Legislative or regulatory safe harbors may ultimately be necessary. 3. Targeting the Scam Business Model Rather than focusing solely on individual fraudsters, the discussion stressed the need to undermine the economics of scams—making them harder, riskier, and less profitable for criminal enterprises to operate. 4. Victim Restoration A particularly notable feature of the Executive Order is its call for a victim restoration program, which could help return seized assets to scam victims more efficiently. 5. Modernizing Law Enforcement Tools The guests also highlighted the need to modernize legacy federal databases such as FBI and FinCEN reporting systems, many of which were designed before today's high-speed digital scam environment. What Comes Next? While the Executive Order is an important milestone, the guests agreed that additional action will be needed from Congress, regulators, and the private sector. A successful anti-scam strategy will likely require: Clearer legal pathways for data sharing Better consumer reporting systems Greater use of AI and analytics International cooperation Faster prosecutions and asset recovery Ongoing public education efforts Bottom Line This episode makes clear that scams are no longer simply a consumer-protection issue, they are now a national economic security issue. The White House has taken an important first step, but whether the Executive Order produces meaningful results will depend on execution, follow-through, and sustained cross-sector collaboration. Consumer Finance Monitor is hosted by Alan Kaplinsky, Senior Counsel at Ballard Spahr, and the founder and former chair of the firm's Consumer Financial Services Group.

In this episode, Alex Dorr tackles a foundational mindset shift that can radically change how leaders experience work: suffering is optional—and often self-imposed. Through relatable stories and practical frameworks, Alex unpacks how most workplace stress doesn't come from reality itself, but from the stories we attach to it. He introduces three common patterns—pre-suffering, post-suffering, and group suffering—that quietly drain energy and derail teams. From "Sunday scaries" to reliving past frustrations, these habits keep leaders stuck in cycles of unnecessary stress. Alex challenges listeners to separate facts from the narrative their minds create, using simple tools like asking, "What do I know for sure?" to interrupt reactive thinking. The result? Clearer decisions, better energy management, and more engaged teams. Episode Highlights: 00:00:00 — The core idea: you can choose to experience work with joy or misery. 00:01:30 — Why suffering at work is often self-imposed, not caused by reality. 00:03:00 — Pre-suffering: stressing about future events before they even happen. 00:04:30 — Post-suffering: reliving past problems that are already resolved. 00:05:45 — Group suffering: how teams normalize negativity and shared frustration. 00:07:00 — The real source of stress: the story you tell yourself—not the situation itself. 00:08:30 — The "tape vs. rat" story: how quickly we escalate harmless situations into crises. 00:10:30 — A practical tool: separating facts from assumptions to reduce emotional reactivity. 00:12:00 — How teams turn simple changes into worst-case scenarios. 00:14:00 — Why energy management—not circumstances—is the real competitive advantage.

We've seen optical illusions… mirages… people thinking they look good in skinny jeans. But nothing compares to the mental gymnastics of a committed Leftist. These folks could look at a burning building and say, “Well, historically, fire has been the victim of massive discrimination and marginalized…”Which brings me to today's case study… my muse, if you will… George Conway.Now here's a man who has turned anti-Trump obsession into a full-time personality. Not a hobby. Not a phase. A personality. Some people collect stamps. This guy collects grievances.I saw him in an interview… visibly emotional… in tears… not because he was so moved by Joe Biden. [SEGMENT 1-2] Distorted Democrats 2Before we get to Conway, know that a sitting Senator, Chris Murphy OPENLY rooted for Iran.An X post reported that 26 Iranian shadow fleet vessels slipped past the blockade and Murphy responded with AWESOME.I will show you how this is directly related to George Conway in just a bit…[X] SB – George ConwayBiden Victory Fund. Driving to my friend's house.I'm the headline spokesperson…Reasonable amount of money.And then he tells this story about being asked to donate to Biden. Says he struggled with how much to give… really agonized over it… pacing the floor, staring at the ceiling, probably lighting candles like he's summoning a financial spirit guide.How much should I give. Headline spokesperson. A lot. A reasonable amount.Legal max?And then… he gives the max. Nearly a million dollars.A million. Dollars.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You send the proposal. They open it. They read it. And then… nothing. No reply. No questions. No next step. Just silence. Most people think it's the proposal. Make it shorter. Clearer. Add ROI. Better design. But that's not what's actually happening. When someone is reading your proposal, they're alone. Trying to make a decision with no one there to guide it. They hit questions. They hesitate. And in that moment… nothing moves. In this episode, I'm breaking down: what's really happening when someone reads your proposal why silence has nothing to do with "interest" and what actually makes that decision move forward Because a proposal doesn't close anything on its own. It either keeps the decision moving… or it gets ignored.
