Dr. Karen Litzy speaks with Dr. Osman Ahmed about how concussion care has evolved for paraathletes, why standard tools often fall short, and what the new ParaScat 6 tools aim to fix. They also discuss the Concussion in Parasport Group, the importance of athlete input in research, and why clinicians should think differently about baseline function in athletes with impairments. Key Topics · In this episode, Dr. Osman Ahmed explains what paraathletes are and why the term matters when discussing concussion care. · We discuss why paraathletes were historically left out of concussion research and how that gap reflected broader patterns in sports medicine. · Osman breaks down why standard tools like the SCAT can be difficult to apply to athletes with amputations, visual impairments, spinal cord injuries, or wheelchair use. · He shares how baseline symptoms such as blurred vision, headaches, or light sensitivity can be normal for some paraathletes and should not be assumed to indicate concussion without context. · We talk about the creation of the Concussion in Parasport Group and the first position statement that helped guide clinicians on assessment, management, and return to play. · Osman describes how the position statement used a practical color coding approach for tests: o green for appropriate o yellow for use with caution or modification o red for not appropriate · We discuss the research and clinical gaps that led to the development of ParaScat 6 tools for wheelchair users and athletes with visual impairment. · Osman shares how athlete lived experience shaped the design, testing, and refinement of the new tools in real time. · He explains why the biggest shift for clinicians is to think carefully about baselines before doing post injury concussion assessments. · Osman also previews his presentation at the Sixth World Congress of Sports Physiotherapy in Bern and encourages clinicians to engage with paraathletes humbly and proactively.

Last week you heard from Grasford Smith, a Litigation Partner and Co-Chair of the lateral integration programme at Akerman, to hear his insights on two good things that have worked for the programme and one thing that he and his Co-Chair would avoid doing again. This week we're bringing you another exciting episode of 2 Good 1 Bad. Connor Kinnear sits down with Craig Budner, CEO of Budner Performance Group and former Global Strategic Growth Partner at K&L Gates, who had a front‑row view of a major law firm merger, guiding Hughes and Luce through integration and seeing firsthand how firms grow through both merger and lateral expansion. With Craig's 25+ years of experience, he shares the importance of connecting lateral integration with business development, holding laterals accountable through both leading and lagging indicators, and the costly lesson of skipping due diligence during a period of urgent hiring.

Only last month we launched CMO Series: Laterals & Mergers, a podcast dedicated entirely to how law firm marketers and BD leaders navigate the complexities of lateral recruitment and firm mergers. This month we present to you the short form podcast of Laterals & Mergers: 2 Good 1 Bad. We bring on leaders from law and professional services firms to talk about the two good things they have done to drive successful lateral integration or merger, and one bad thing that they or the firm would not do again. To kick us off, Connor Kinnear was joined by Grasford Smith, a Litigation Partner and Co-Chair of the lateral integration programme at Akerman, a role he's held for the past four years alongside a fellow partner in the firm's New York office. Grasford shares insights including welcome videos that go beyond the CV, a structured, stakeholder-mapped onboarding checklist, and the risk of assuming a good programme stays good.

It is about sending credible, repeated, observable signals that followers interpret as genuine service.”"Servant leadership is quite costly because it's taking time away from other things that you could be doing. Things that might influence your promotion... you're having to go out on a limb for somebody.""Pick a small set of behaviors or signals that are yours. It's not trying to be a leader who does everything. It's a leader who's trying to do three or four things incredibly, incredibly well, and they are just the things that you're known for. That's your reputation. That's your superpower."ResourcesArticle: Signalling servant leadership: How followers interpret leader behavioursBlog Post: Is there one best way to lead or have we overcomplicated what makes leaders effective?

Cathy Yoon, General Counsel at Temporal, Tiffany J.

The CME was invited onto the panel to argue its side, but Yoon called their last-minute decision to bow out as "cowardice." They dig into the CFTC's recent approval of true perpetual futures for Coinbase and Kalshi, the running jurisdictional split between the CFTC and SEC, and Bloomberg's report that Hyperliquid is in talks to come onshore through Kraken's Bitnomial. Chervinsky argues Hyperliquid isn't an exchange at all, just neutral infrastructure any exchange could use.

3 Takeaways from my conversation with Marty Frankel Co-Chair, Financial Services & Real Property Litigation Group, Executive Committee Member, Maddin Hauser 1. Lawyers sell trust — not expertise. Competence is the baseline. What clients really need is someone on their team who owns their problem with urgency. 2. Find the issue behind the issue. Ask questions. Build rapport. What someone walks in with is rarely what's really keeping them up at night. 3. Delay gratification. Plan long. Reverse engineer from three years out. That's not just career advice — that's a life strategy. --- MARTIN ("Marty") S. FRENKEL, shareholder and executive committee member, is a multidisciplinary problem solver who consistently delivers sound, pragmatic business counsel and instills in his clients the confidence that comes from knowing that he always has their back. Whether it is the end-to-end, compliance-to-courtroom representation and advocacy he provides mortgage, financial services, and construction companies or the myriad ways he helps clients from a wide range of other industries steer clear of risk and achieve their goals, Marty charts the course that gets his clients where they want to go. Co-Chair of Maddin Hauser's Financial Services and Real Property Litigation and Surety and Construction groups, Marty has established himself as one of Michigan's most accomplished and versatile attorneys. His ability to holistically address the full spectrum of day-to-day and long-term issues faced by small business owners and large institutions alike is why he is often retained to serve as their outside general counsel or as an adjunct to their in-house legal teams. Recognizing that the best attorney-client relationships are built on a foundation of both trust and collaboration, Marty works seamlessly with his clients to understand the problems behind the problems by actively listening to what they say, as well as what they don't. Marty focuses his practice on real estate and financial services risk management, litigation, and regulatory compliance, including matters involving mortgage, banking, construction, real estate development, landlord/tenant, and title-related issues. For mortgage industry clients, Marty brings a 360-degree perspective to his work, a product of his extensive participation in high-level mortgage regulatory compliance matters, the negotiation and drafting of core documentation and business agreements, and hundreds of loan-level mortgage litigation disputes. This full-spectrum experience allows him to serve his financial services clients efficiently, cost-effectively, and with minimized risk while navigating the myriad mortgage origination and servicing processes that are always subject to changing laws, regulations, and market conditions. While Marty possesses unmatched been-there, seen-that insights, he is acutely aware that past experience alone is no guarantee of future success. That is why he prioritizes agile, forward-looking thinking and stays ahead of the ever-evolving legal and economic landscapes in which his clients do business. Marty has forged close bonds with his clients and has earned the respect of his peers, who consistently recognize him for his professionalism and accomplishments. Among his expansive collection of accolades, Marty has been included on the list of the Best Lawyers in America multiple times and has been recognized as a Michigan Leading Lawyer in Real Estate Law: Commercial and Finance every year since 2016. He was named a "Go To" Lawyer in Construction Law by Michigan Lawyers Weekly in 2023 and 2025, and was also included in the magazine's 2022 class of Leaders in the Law, an honor awarded to accomplished individuals who set the standard through a commitment to excellence in the practice of law."

The CME was invited onto the panel to argue its side, but Yoon called their last-minute decision to bow out as "cowardice." They dig into the CFTC's recent approval of true perpetual futures for Coinbase and Kalshi, the running jurisdictional split between the CFTC and SEC, and Bloomberg's report that Hyperliquid is in talks to come onshore through Kraken's Bitnomial. Chervinsky argues Hyperliquid isn't an exchange at all, just neutral infrastructure any exchange could use. Yoon closes with a warning: most of Capitol Hill, she says, still doesn't understand there's a whole world running onchain.

A new report from the UN Environmental Programme has found that temperatures are on course to rise above 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels in the next few years. In fact, the most optimistic estimate in the report sets the temperature rise to 1.8 degrees Celsius…Meanwhile in April this year, the Government pushed carbon tax increases back to October, and there have been hints it could be paused again. There have also been calls that more action is needed at a European level as the EU has backed off from banning petrol and diesel cars by 2035.Joining Ciara to discuss the report and whether more climate action is needed is Co-Chair of the European Greens and former Green Party MEP for Dublin, Ciarán Cuffe.

"It's really that investment to transition from a legacy industry into a future industry…that is aiming to drive more sustainability and manufacturing processes and products overall…One of the things that we fundamentally see as being important in this economic shift, and we say it in this Practical Guide to the Green Economy, is that this transition we believe will favor places that make things.… and we want to make them better and more sustainable." Bethia Burke on Electric Ladies Podcast As communities seek economic growth and manufacturing jobs, a recent study found that manufacturing jobs related to clean energy and using environmentally-friendly practices are helping drive economic growth. What exactly are so called "green jobs," where are they really making a difference? Listen to Bethia Burke, President, The Fund For Our Economic Future, share the findings of their study - and lessons for other communities - in this fascinating discussion with Electric Ladies host Joan Michelson, which first aired last year. They also share insightful career advice. You'll hear about: What their study found about "green jobs" and local economies, including job (re)training. What lessons other communities can take from Ohio's experience – including in their Practical Guide to the Green Economy. Why manufacturing based on sustainable business attracts more workers, enhances communities and helps people stay where they are. How the Infrastructure Investment Act, Inflation Reduction Act and CHIPS Act have been huge boosts to Ohio – and how other communities can tap them too. Plus, insightful career advice, such as… "Often we put women in these do-gooder roles, and, these socially beneficial roles, and they take significantly lower salaries because part of what they want to achieve is service and positive societal benefits forward.…(but) ask for a higher salary, even if it is in a social service oriented sector.… I think any woman in any job, whatever she is trying to achieve…take whatever you think your level is, and add at least 20% because you're definitely underselling yourself."

Recently, Lorri and Becky welcomed a pair of dynamic women this month. They speak with Rebecca DeVooght and Sarah Hubbard who share leadership lessons from public policy, higher education and advocacy, and what it takes to lead boldly. Rebecca DeVooght: Rebecca is an experienced government relations professional with a career spanning nearly 25 years in various state and public sector positions. Prior to coming to Michigan State University, she represented the University of Michigan for 11 years as the Director of State Relations, focusing most of her time on state appropriations and on elevating research and academic freedom through strong collaborations with university academic and administrative units on the various intersections with state policy. Through her direct efforts, she was successful in securing base appropriation increases for the university as well as Capital Outlay support for such purposes as University of Michigan's School of Dentistry, a joint project between the College of Engineering and School of Information as well as other critical research projects. She has successfully worked to enhance campus engagement and collaboration with a wide range of government and non-government organizations beyond higher education. Show notes: Lorri and Becky sat down with Rebecca DeVooght, Vice President of Government Relations at Michigan State University. In the first segment, Rebecca dives into how she grew up with two parents who worked in social work and how that led to where she took her career, being very motivated from a young age. Sarah Hubbard: Principal, Acuitas | Regent, University of Michigan With more than 25 years of experience at the intersection of government relations, public affairs, and higher education governance, Sarah L. Hubbard is a proven leader in navigating complex policy environments, fostering strategic partnerships, and driving organizational success. Sarah currently serves as Principal and Co-Owner of Acuitas, a Lansing-based government relations and business development consulting firm. In this role, she works with clients ranging from small nonprofits to Fortune 500 companies, providing expert guidance on advocacy strategies, political engagement, and relationship building. Her deep connections with Michigan's highest-ranking officials — including the governor, legislature, congressional delegation, and municipal leaders — have helped deliver results to her clients. In addition to her private sector work, Sarah was elected to the University of Michigan Board of Regents in 2020. As a Regent, she has played a pivotal role in overseeing the university's $15 billion budget and $20 billion endowment. She has served as Board Chair, Chair of the Finance, Audit, and Investment Committee, and Co-Chair of the Presidential Search Committee, demonstrating her ability to lead through complex governance and financial challenges. Sarah has also provided critical strategic input during crises, including cyberattacks, campus safety incidents, and high-profile protests, often serving as a spokesperson to local and national media. Her experience extends to guiding the university's health system — now larger than its academic units — through risk assessment and long-term capital planning. Sarah's earlier career includes 17 years at the Detroit Regional Chamber, where she served as Senior Vice President of Government Relations. In this capacity, she was the Chamber's primary liaison to policymakers at all levels, representing the interests of 23,000 member organizations. She worked closely with Michigan's largest corporate leaders to advance shared advocacy goals and served as management's voice in the Chamber boardroom. Sarah earned an MBA from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business, a Master of Public Administration from Western Michigan University, and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Michigan.
“Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals. But the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels. Investing in new fossil fuel infrastructure is moral and economic madness.” Antonio Guterres, UN General SecretaryWe know that the current system is not fit for purpose. We know that we're hurtling to the edge of the 6th mass extinction, blowing apart all of the predictions about the speed and scale of ecosystem breakdown. And still we listen to politicians argue about whether GDP has gone up by 0.1% and if so, who is to claim the credit? They plan for war without understanding that there are no armies, no nations, no people - or any complex life - on a dead planet. What good are science and rational persuasion if no one is paying attention? The climate crisis deepens with terrifying predictability. Meanwhile, the courageous young campaigners who seek to wake us up to the truth of this, through peaceful direct action, are silenced and stuck in prison.Daniel Knorr is one of those young people. He was 22 years old at the time the book was published, and had previously studied biochemistry at Oxford with a view to engineering plants to be more resilient to extreme weather conditions. As you'll hear, he realised this was no longer where he needed to be, and joined Just Stop Oil, whose ethos and grounding question is: what does it make to be a good person in this time of collapse - or perhaps transition? I'll let him tell you his story, but—like the stories of the other 25 young people in the book—it's humbling and inspiring in equal measure. Jonathon Porritt is well known to anyone in the Green or eco-campaigning community in the UK. He was formerly Co-Chair of the Green Party (1980-83) and Director of Friends of the Earth (1984-90). He was a Board Member of The Southwest Regional Development Agency between 1999 and 2008. He stood down as Chair of the UK Sustainable Development Commission in 2009, after nine years providing high-level advice to Government Ministers, and served a ten-year term as Chancellor of Keele University (2012-2022). He was awarded a CBE in January 2000 for services to environmental protection.Together, we discuss Love, Anger and Betrayal, which brings Jonathan's experience as a long time campaigner into juxtaposition with the experiences of young people one third his age who are doing their best to make the world a better place. Theirs is a generation systematically betrayed by politicians. And by all of us who allow this to continue, on our watch, year after year. What comes across in this book, though, is that while Jonathan feels the kind of white hot rage that consumes many of us, Daniel and those around him are focusing on embodying love for each other and the planet. ‘We have a choice. Collective action or collective suicide. It is in our hands.'-António GuterresLet's explore what we can do, shall we?

This summer, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Faster Labor Contracts Act, a bill that would transform how unions and employers negotiate their first agreements. It would impose quick deadlines for negotiations, after which it would send the parties to mediation and eventually binding arbitration, where a panel of arbitrators would hear evidence and write the agreement themselves. Supporters call the bill a needed corrective to slow, sometimes futile negotiations; opponents say it will destroy the country’s voluntary approach to collective bargaining. Yet despite the elevated rhetoric, the bill has attracted supporters from both sides of the political aisle.Why has the bill attracted such attention? And why do its supports and critics see it in such stark terms? Our panel of experts will break it down.Featuring:Thomas Beck, Member, Federal Service Impasses Panel, Federal Labor Relations AuthorityProf. Sharon Block, Professor of Practice and Executive Director, Center for Labor and a Just Economy, Harvard Law SchoolG.

Urmi Hossain is a Finance professional, author, speaker, and Co-Chair of Women in Leadership Montreal. She is passionate about mentoring and empowering women, and is involved with organizations like Women in Leadership and Dress for Success, where she supports women in building confidence, navigating their careers, and reaching their goals. In this episode, Urmi discusses how growing up in a culturally conservative South Asian household in Italy, and experiencing gender-based expectations, later sparked her passion for women's leadership… her parents' belief in education and in the importance of studying and getting good grades… early ideas about what she might want to be when she grew up… in her childhood and adolescence, the challenges and opportunities of being Italian Bengali, living one culture at home and a different culture outside her home… finally understanding that it was not about choosing one culture over the other, but rather embracing both… immigrating to Canada to attend university and successfully pursuing a career in Finance… learning about mentorship, choosing to mentor others, especially women, and understanding the importance of mentoring other women of color… the concept of “friendtors,” her term for women who have wanted to guide and encourage her… how we are all conditioned to strive for external validation without being encouraged to develop internal validation… realizing how important it is to make choices that bring us joy… creating Stories Beyond Borders Podcast as a platform for people to share their stories immigration and cultural identity…. and the reminder to us all that “you can be anything that you want. I think that's what I would have told to my younger self. And that's what I would tell to all the younger generation. You don't need anyone's validation for the choices that you make. If you're happy with it, go for it.”

The National Labor Relations Board is responsible for developing national labor policy, but it has historically accomplished its mission through case-by-case decision making rather than through rulemaking. And while that approach has been criticized over the years, it remains the Board’s customary approach and official policy.But that may be changing. Vacancies at its highest levels have have left the Board unable to reverse its own decisions, and it has been bombarded by requests from businesses to do more rulemaking. A decision from the Sixth Circuit, Brown Forman v. NLRB, has called into question whether it even can develop policy through adjudication—or at least, not in the way it usually does. Will the Board give in to these pressures and write more rules? Should it? And if it does, what will that change mean for businesses and workers? Our expert panel will break it down.Featuring:Prof. Samuel Estreicher, Dwight D.

Congress can't solve America's biggest challenges if it's stuck—and this conversation explored why, and what it will take to move forward.On August 5, Dr. Maya Kornberg, Senior Research Fellow at the Brennan Center and author of "STUCK: How Money, Media, and Violence Prevent Change in Congress", and Congresswoman Lauren Underwood (IL-14), examined the forces that keep Congress from delivering results, including relentless fundraising demands, the growing threat of political violence, media incentives, and outdated institutional structures. Despite these barriers, both speakers emphasized that meaningful reform is possible through stronger ethics rules, campaign finance reform, better-resourced congressional staff, and a renewed commitment to making government work for the people it serves. They also challenged Americans to embrace a forward-looking vision of democracy that reflects the nation's growing diversity rather than clinging to the past.The discussion closed with a clear reminder that protecting democracy requires more than voting—it demands sustained civic engagement. With Election Day approaching, attendees were encouraged to take action every day by organizing, advocating, and helping build a government that truly represents the American people.Check out Dr. Maya Kornberg's book STUCK here:https://www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/54126/stuck?utmLearn more about the Brennan Center for Justice here:https://www.brennancenter.org/ABOUT THE SPEAKERS:Maya L.

Episode 110: Evan "Kidd" Bogart has worn nearly every hat in the music industry. From mailroom A&R at Interscope Records to hit songwriter (Beyoncé's "Halo," Rihanna's "SOS"), artist manager, booking agent, and now buying music catalogs with Seeker and advocating for creators as Vice Chair of the Recording Academy. He's one of the rare people who has sat in nearly every seat at the table. In this episode, Elmo Lovano goes deep with Evan Bogart on both the craft and the business of music. Evan is the son of Casablanca Records founder Neil Bogart, the legendary executive behind KISS, Donna Summer, Parliament, and the Village People, and manager, Joyce Bogart Trabulus. He grew up inside the music business, tried to make it as a rapper, and worked his way up from the Interscope mailroom to the A&R department. As a teenager, he discovered Eminem and was the first person to put Em in front of Jimmy Iovine. He'd go on to sign Kara's Flowers, who later changed their name to Maroon 5. After getting sober in his early 20s, Evan reinvented himself as a songwriter, and his very first composition, "SOS" for Rihanna, went to No. 1. He followed it with the Grammy-winning "Halo" for Beyoncé, co-written with Ryan Tedder in just three hours, plus hits for Britney Spears, Madonna, Lizzo, Jason Derulo, Leona Lewis, and more. Today, Evan is the CEO of Seeker Music, the creator-led music rights, publishing, and record company he's built into a catalog of more than 19,000 copyrights and master recordings valued at roughly $400 million. The catalog includes works by Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus, One Direction, Drake, Christopher Cross, Joan Jett, Run the Jewels, and Lewis Capaldi. Named the #2 Most Innovative Music Company of 2025 by Fast Company, Seeker recently closed its inaugural $267 million asset-backed securitization with M&G Investments and announced a global distribution partnership with Virgin Music Group. If you don't know what that means, that's OK, because we break it all down. We get into how you actually value and buy a music catalog, the business of publishing and masters, how songwriter splits and royalties work, why music rights have become an institutional asset class, and how music-backed securitization deals get financed. We also dig into Evan's role as Vice Chair of the Recording Academy and Co-Chair of the GRAMMYs Songwriters & Composers Wing, where he fights for fair mechanical royalty rates, helped create the Songwriter of the Year Grammy, and is helping shape the conversation around AI and the future of music rights, creativity, and ownership. This is the deep, insider version of Evan Bogart's story. The craft, the deals, the money, and the mission. For anyone who wants to understand how the music business actually works.

Few organizations have a greater influence on the future of Lake Tahoe than the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA). From environmental restoration and transportation planning to housing, redevelopment, and shoreline policy, the agency sits at the center of many of the basin's most important conversations. On this episode of Tahoe TAP, hosts Mike Peron and Rob Galloway sit down with Julie Regan, Executive Director of TRPA, for an inside look at the opportunities and challenges facing one of America's most iconic alpine environments. Regan has spent more than two decades helping shape the future of the Tahoe Basin. In 2022, she was selected by TRPA's 15-member Governing Board to lead the nation's first bi-state environmental planning agency, an organization created in 1969 to protect Lake Tahoe while balancing the needs of the communities and the region's multi-billion-dollar outdoor recreation and tourism economy. Having served in leadership roles at TRPA since 2003, Regan has helped guide landmark initiatives involving environmental restoration, transportation, climate resilience, and sustainable growth. Her career has been defined by bringing together science, public policy, and community collaboration to address the complex issues facing the basin. A former journalist with a master's degree from Temple University, Regan is also pursuing a doctorate in environmental science at the University of Nevada, Reno, where her research examines the relationship between science and public policy. Her leadership extends beyond Tahoe as a former Co-Chair of the Network for Landscape Conservation and a contributor to national discussions on destination stewardship and managing tourism in environmentally sensitive communities. Now celebrating nearly 30 years in the Tahoe Basin, Regan remains deeply invested in the community she calls home. Beyond her professional work, she has served on numerous nonprofit boards, including as Chair of the Barton Hospital Foundation Board of Trustees, and enjoys skiing, mountain biking, hiking, and exploring the outdoors with her family. In this episode, the conversation explores how TRPA balances environmental protection with responsible growth, the evolving challenges of climate change and recreation, and the collaborative efforts shaping the future of Lake Tahoe.

"(Climate modelling)…it's being used in things like insurance companies. It's being used by companies for their ESG assessments. So, when you get your insurance premium at the end of the year, there is some kind of climate model that has said something about the risk of your house to flood. It has said something about your risk to fire. And so that might be driving up your insurance premium…And so it's being involved in your lives in many different ways. The food you consume, those grocery bills, there's prices behind it that are being driven by people using climate models saying something about the supply chain." Maria Caffrey on Electric Ladies Podcast With France, Spain and parts of the U.S. and Canada ablaze, tornadoes and floods wiping out communities - and insurance costs rising - we see how critical climate modelling is. How does climate modelling work? How reliable is it? Listen to climate scientist Maria Caffrey, Ph.D., Principal Scientist at the UK's National Physical Laboratory (and formerly at the U.S. National Park Service) in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. You'll hear about: ● How climate modelling actually works, and who uses it and why. ● How climate modelling measures risk and how reliable it really is – especially at a time of geological and weather patterns never seen before. ● What the economic and social impact is of how climate modelling is used today. ● Plus, career advice, such as: "I think my big advice would be you just have to roll with the punches and not let your vision of what you should be, define where you are now. You've just got to move with what's right for you at the time….I feel like I'm making a far greater impact honestly, with where I am right now than I never could have predicted….See where things take you. Networking was very important. I will say there are some people around me that have been incredible in getting me on the path that I'm in. And so yeah, if you're unsure, should I be going to this networking drinks or whatever after work, I would say, go for it for sure."

Help Wanted: How to Find and Keep Talent in a Forever-Tight Labor Market by Jerry Rubin, Steven L. Dawson https://www.amazon.com/dp/0262054396/ https://www.helpwantedbook.com/ How employers can compete in a challenging labor market—by hiring differently, redesigning job quality, and rethinking their government relations strategies. From two leaders in business and workforce development with a proven track record in innovative workforce strategies. Over the past ten years, the U.S. labor market has been buffeted, with demand shifting dramatically. At the same time, demographic trends mean that U.S. labor supply will steadily tighten into the coming decade: Relatively fewer native-born workers are entering the workforce; a greater percentage are choosing not to work; and an aging baby boom generation is exiting the workforce. What's worse, this systemic tightening of the US labor market has been exacerbated by the Trump administration's decision to dramatically constrain immigration, the primary source of recent labor market growth. Welcome to the “forever-tight” labor market. In Help Wanted, Jerry Rubin and Steven Dawson combine their 80 years of experience in management and workforce development to offer employers an “employee-focused competitive strategy.” This strategy includes a wide range of practical, well-researched tools and detailed case studies from a breadth of employers that will help readers compete for talent and retain a productive workforce. Since the underlying cause of the tightening labor supply is structural, employers—whether for-profit, nonprofit, or governmental—must respond in kind. They too must undertake structural changes in finding, hiring, and retaining workers. Now equal in importance to an organization's customer-service strategy, an employee-focused strategy is no longer simply a competitive advantage—it is fast becoming a competitive necessity. About the author Jerry Rubin is a Senior Advisor at the Harvard Project on the Workforce, a Foundation Fellow at the Eastern Bank Foundation and Co-Chair of the MassSkills Coalition. Most recently, he was CEO and President of JVS-Boston, a 250-employee organization that consults directly to businesses seeking job candidates recruited and trained by JVS. About the author Steven L. Dawson was founder and President of PHI, which consults on job-quality redesign to a range of private long-term care businesses and public healthcare/employment agencies. Earlier, he was founder and President of The ICA Group, which consults to and finances employee‐owned enterprises nationwide.
How do we align the rapid, exponential rise of artificial intelligence with humanity's best interests before we reach a point of no return? In this classic throwback episode from our old Edge of AI Podcast, we sit down with tech visionary Eric Pulier, a prolific technologist who has founded over 15 companies, raised more than $1 billion, and led exits from IPOs to major mergers.In this deep dive, Eric explores his leadership roles as Co-Chair of the AI Coalition at the Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute and CEO of Vatom. He outlines the global push for AI ethics, the looming existential threats of synthetic biology and mass deepfakes, and why preserving human culture in local AI models is crucial to preventing algorithmic erasure.Eric also reflects on inventing the "Vatom" (the virtual atom) in early 2015, the precursor to modern smart NFTs, and explains why self-sovereign identity, tokenized real-world assets, and human-first connection will dictate the next generation of the internet.Support us through our Sponsors! ☕ Want to make content like ours?
