In this week's episode of Cultural Catalysts, Kris and Banning are joined by Richard Gordon, Bethel's brilliant Chief Technology Officer from South Africa. Richard shares his remarkable journey from engineering to ministry, and together they dive into one of the most challenging tensions leaders face: balancing supernatural faith with practical wisdom. Richard offers a profound insight that "if you build on miracles alone, you'll burn out, and if you build on wisdom alone, you'll dry out," revealing how grace allows us to carry both. The conversation explores how to navigate prophetic words that don't unfold as expected, the importance of accountability in leadership, and why true greatness often comes through pressure and refinement. Join us for this thought-provoking discussion that will challenge you to embrace both the miraculous and the strategic in your own leadership journey!

On today's episode, Kara welcomes Courtney Toll, Co-Founder and CEO of Nori — the fast-growing brand reinventing how we care for our clothes and one of the most exciting consumer innovation stories unfolding right now. What started as a clever workaround between two college roommates ironing their clothes with a hair straightener has grown into a next-generation steam iron brand used by millions, proving that even the most overlooked categories are ripe for reinvention. Courtney has helped lead Nori to eight-figure revenue in under three years, raised nearly $8M, and built a design-forward hardware company in a space many founders shy away from.In this episode, Courtney shares what it really takes to build a modern hardware brand from scratch — from early prototyping hurdles to navigating the intense realities of supply chain, cash flow, and rapid consumer adoption. She opens up about the near-catastrophic 145% tariff announcement that threatened to derail Nori's nationwide Target launch and wipe out more than $5M in forecasted revenue, and how she and her team stayed scrappy, decisive, and resilient through a moment that could have broken most companies. Packed with insights on leadership, innovation, problem-solving under pressure, and scaling in unpredictable markets, Courtney's story is a masterclass in grit, adaptability, and creating momentum where others see obstacles. Are you interested in sponsoring and advertising on The Kara Goldin Show, which is now in the Top 1% of Entrepreneur podcasts in the world?

In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Joel Montvelisky, co-founder and Chief Product Officer of PractiTest.Joel shares his unlikely journey from Costa Rica to the world of software testing. He talks about becoming a Cowboys fan in the 1970s, stumbling into QA because it paid slightly better than bartending, and eventually discovering that testing was far more than bug hunting—it was about improving products, reducing risk, and helping teams release with confidence. He reflects on the evolution of QA from the dot-com era to modern Agile and DevOps practices, the absence of formal QA education, and how conferences and early industry leaders helped him realize that testing is, in fact, a real profession with deep methodology and purpose.Joel also shares the origin story of PractiTest, born from a gap he saw between enterprise tools like Quality Center and teams struggling to manage testing with spreadsheets. He explains how the company's very first customer found them before they even had a way to accept payments, how founder-led sales carried them for years, and why meaningful testing requires both intention and mindfulness—something he practices personally to stay focused as someone diagnosed with ADHD later in life. Hear how Joel Montvelisky turned unexpected beginnings into a career shaping the future of QA in this episode of The First Customer!Guest Info:PractiTesthttps://www.practitest.com/Joel Montvelisky's LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joelm3/Connect with Jay on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jayaigner/The First Customer Youtube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@thefirstcustomerpodcastThe First Customer podcast websitehttps://www.firstcustomerpodcast.comFollow The First Customer on LinkedInhttp://www.linkedin.com/company/the-first-customer-podcast/

What Security Congress Reveals About the State of CybersecurityThis discussion focuses on what ISC2 Security Congress represents for practitioners, leaders, and organizations navigating constant technological change. Jon France, Chief Information Security Officer at ISC2, shares how the event brings together thousands of cybersecurity practitioners, certification holders, chapter leaders, and future professionals to exchange ideas on the issues shaping the field today.  Themes That Stand OutAI remains a central point of attention. France notes that organizations are grappling not only with adoption but with the shift in speed it introduces. Sessions highlight how analysts are beginning to work alongside automated systems that sift through massive data sets and surface early indicators of compromise. Rather than replacing entry-level roles, AI changes how they operate and accelerates the decision-making path. Quantum computing receives a growing share of focus as well. Attendees hear about timelines, standards emerging from NIST, and what preparedness looks like as cryptographic models shift.  Identity-based attacks and authorization failures also surface throughout the program. With machine-driven compromises becoming easier to scale, the community explores new defenses, stronger controls, and the practical realities of machine-to-machine trust. Operational technology, zero trust, and machine-speed threats create additional urgency around modernizing security operations centers and rethinking human-to-machine workflows.  A Place for Every Stage of the CareerFrance describes Security Congress as a cross-section of the profession: entry-level newcomers, certification candidates, hands-on practitioners, and CISOs who attend for leadership development. Workshops explore communication, business alignment, and critical thinking skills that help professionals grow beyond technical execution and into more strategic responsibilities.  Looking Ahead to the Next CongressThe next ISC2 Security Congress will be held in October in the Denver/Aurora area. France expects AI and quantum to remain key themes, along with contributions shaped by the call-for-papers process. What keeps the event relevant each year is the mix of education, networking, community stories, and real-world problem-solving that attendees bring with them.The ISC2 Security Congress 2025 is a hybrid event taking place from October 28 to 30, 2025 Coverage provided by ITSPmagazineGUEST:Jon France, Chief Information Security Officer at ISC2 | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonfrance/HOST:Sean Martin, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comFollow our ISC2 Security Congress coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/cybersecurity-technology-society-events/isc2-security-congress-2025Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageISC2 Security Congress: https://www.isc2.orgNIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards: https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/post-quantum-cryptographyISC2 Chapters: https://www.isc2.org/chaptersWant to share an Event Briefing as part of our event coverage?

This week, I sit down with Alan Morales, co-founder of Civil Coffee, to explore the unexpected intersection of specialty coffee and film production in Los Angeles. Given LA's production crisis, I wanted to hear from someone on the ground—a small business owner in Highland Park who sees tons of filming and has thoughts on what producers and the city need to understand. Alan shares the espresso shot that changed his life, why he dropped out of electrical engineering one course away from graduating, and how Civil Coffee grew from mobile carts to three LA locations with their own roasting program focused exclusively on Mexican beans. We dig into the value chain from coffee farms to your cup, why productions understand craft services better than wedding clients, what it's like to visit Mexico for the first time as an adult after obtaining citizenship, and how LA's production crisis looks from street level. Alan's perspective on fair location fees, the human connection that makes or breaks production relationships, and what keeps him optimistic despite the current political climate offers valuable insights for anyone building something that requires invisible work to make magic happen.  Tune in! xx

Ryan Eisenman is the CEO and co-founder of Arch, a tech platform redefining how allocators manage their private investments through what he calls the “Schwab for private markets”. Ryan shares his journey on how he met his co-founders, early challenges in selling to family offices, and the product's evolution from automating K-1s to serving as a seamless digital hub for every private investment an LP holds. We explore Arch's rapid growth to over 500 clients, their client-obsessed culture, why he sees being in-office is a competitive advantage and how they have expanded into capital call fraud detection and enhanced workflows. We wrap by discussing trends in private markets, their approach to organic versus inorganic growth and why he believes the future of private markets will look more like public market platforms - with integrated, user-friendly digital solutions.

In this episode of Marketing Dilemmas, Liam sits down with Srikrishna Swaminathan, Co-founder & CEO of Factors.ai, to tackle a question most B2B teams are quietly wrestling with: are LinkedIn ads really working, or is Google doing all the heavy lifting? They dig into why LinkedIn so often looks “bad” in spreadsheets, how to use buyer-journey visualisation, view-throughs and incrementality testing to prove its impact, and where organic content fits into the whole system. Sri also breaks down who should own this problem (demand gen vs marketing ops), what good measurement actually looks like, and how emerging LLM/AI discovery will change the way we think about paid, organic and attribution altogether.

Ethereum is transparent by design, and that's a problem if you don't want your entire financial life on display.

We get into why blockchains were public in the first place, why “anonymous addresses” were never enough, how FHE compares to ZK and MPC, and what a world of private DeFi, encrypted stablecoins, and on-chain “digital immortality” could look like.  ------

Eddie Hartman co-founded LegalZoom with a simple but radical idea: legal documents are just information, and information belongs online. Despite facing an industry of lawyers who wanted to sue the company out of existence, Eddie pushed forward to help launch one out of every four small businesses in California. Today, as a partner at Simon-Kucher, he advises global giants like Uber and Airbnb on pricing strategies, proving that the secret to success isn't just building things people want—it's building things people want to pay for.In this interview, Eddie sits down with Ryan Atkinson to deconstruct the psychology of the founder mindset. He explains why entrepreneurs need to be "insane in a specific way" to overcome the fear of failure and how to avoid the "single engine trap" of leaning too heavily on your natural strengths. Eddie breaks down the critical difference between chasing market share versus wallet share and explains how to become a "profitable growth architect" rather than just another business owner with a cool idea.If you are struggling to monetize innovation or wondering if your business model is built to last, this episode is a masterclass in strategy. You'll learn how to price your product to get to "yes," why you should embrace the fear of failure, and the specific steps you need to take to scale your business from a startup concept to an industry disruptor.Takeaways:- Build for Payment: Don't just build what people want; build what they are willing to pay for.- The Single Engine Trap: Avoid over-relying on your natural strength (like sales) while neglecting other business needs.- Growth Strategy: Successful companies chase market share and wallet share simultaneously.- Founder Psychology: You need "specific insanity"—the fear of failure combined with the certainty of success.- Price First: Validate the price point and willingness to pay before you build the product.- Strategic Packaging: Don't offer one price; create tiers to capture different customer segments.- Fear as a Shield: Use high barriers to entry (like fear of lawsuits) to keep competitors away.- Sales vs. Customers: A one-time transaction (especially a discounted one) is not a loyal client.- Stamina Over IQ: Success is often determined by the ability to "not stop" rather than raw genius.- Leverage Imposter Syndrome: Use the fear of not being good enough as fuel to outwork everyone else.Tags: Startup, Entrepreneurship, Pricing Strategy, Business Mindset, Small Business,  LegalZoomResources:Grow your business today: https://links.upflip.com/the-business-startup-and-growth-blueprint-podcast Connect with Eddie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eddie-hartman

It's Monday, December 1st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes written by yours truly and heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin. (Contact@eanvoiceit.com) Why are Christians in Nigeria Facing Such Violent Attacks? President Donald Trump recently brought the topic of Christian persecution up noting that Nigeria was quote a ‘Country of Particular Concern' for violating religious freedom.  This has led to questions over why so many Nigerian Christian communities have faced violent attacks and why the President of the United States would require attention to this issue. Persecution.org examined this question and has found that according to most western media outlets Climate Change is often used to portray the violent attacks over natural resources instead of religious motivation. For example, in 2023 a massacre occurred on Christmas Eve.  Over 140 people were killed in Nigeria Plateau state.  Vatican News ran an article that said, quote ‘the long-running conflict between nomadic herders and farmers'. Right after a massacre in June of this year in which 200 Christians in Nigeria's Benue state were killed.  The BBC ran an article on violence in central Nigeria that said quote ‘It is safe to assume that there are lots of victims on both sides, as any attack usually leads to revenge and then a cycle of violence' Why is that safe to assume? Justice G Danjuma, an evangelist for the Remnant Christian Network in Nigeria's Taraba State, does agree that disputes over resources play a role, just not nearly as big a role as many Media outlets would have you believe. Danjuma says quote ‘Overwhelmingly the attacks are driven by religious animosity.'  He also encouraged people to quote ‘Reject the climate change narrative pushed by Western Media' He and added that it is quote, ‘It is deeply offensive and misleading.  Why would climate change cause people to burn churches, kill pastors and massacre worshippers during Christmas or Palm Sunday services.' Nigeria is currently number 7 on the Open Doors World Watch List for countries where Christians face the most extreme persecution. Pray for the believers in Nigeria with the words of Psalm 35:1-3: "Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me; Fight against those who fight against me!  Take hold of shield and buckler and rise for my help!  Draw spear and javelin against my pursuers!  Say to my soul, I am your salvation!" ADF Releases Report of Christian Victories in the Supreme Court The Alliance Defending Freedom or ADF released a report listing the victories of 2025 so far this year!  Among the victories in the US Supreme Court they reported were; A decision in June that pro-life states like South Carolina can now direct Medicaid funds away from abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood. And a landmark victory for children's health and science based medicine.  The Court upheld Tennessee law protecting minors from harmful and life-altering gender transition drugs and surgeries. A link to a full list of cases won and still awaiting decisions is in a link in our transcript. Conscience Protections for Medical Residents Act Introduced Lifenews.com reports that US Senator John Cornyn from Texas along with Senator James Lankford from Oklahoma and a group of their Senate GOP colleagues, introduced the Conscience Protections for Medical Residents Act, which would ensure medical students and residents are never pressured or coerced into abortion training that violates their moral or religious beliefs and established clear federal protections so residents are not forced to choose between their conscience and their careers. Senator Cornyn said quote, ‘The first rule of medicine is to do no harm, yet for many aspiring doctors, coerced abortion training not only contradicts that oath but also violates their moral and religious beliefs. By allowing medical residents to opt-in rather than opt-out of abortion training, this legislation would protect healthcare professionals convictions and give them the freedom to practice medicine without fear of retaliation.' Findings from Abortion Mill Undercover Investigation Released RightNow a not-for-profit organization committed to nominating and electing pro-life candidates along with educating and engaging pro-life Canadians on the political process, recently released the findings of an undercover investigation in which they went into abortion clinics across Canada to find out if it was possible to get a late-term abortion based solely on personal choice.  Alissa Golob, Co-Founder and Executive Director of RightNow says quote, ‘Canadians are often told that late-term abortions never happen in Canada and if they do, they are for extreme medical reasons.  Yet, I was told numerous times that attaining a late-term abortion in Canada is relatively easy, legal and that I did not need a reason, medical or otherwise, regarding myself or my pregnancy.' Other things exposed in this investigation were things like an abortion clinic counsellor defining late-term abortion in Canada as stillbirth, which calls into question the validity of current statistics around late-term abortions in Canada. And that taxpayer money in Canada has been used to fund travel and accommodations of Canadian women who are being sent to for-profit abortion clinics.   You can watch the YouTube video report in a link on our transcript at TheWorldview.com Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday December 1st, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.
