On this episode, I'm revisiting the big shifts in commerce tech with Luke Hodgson. Who's winning, who's losing, and what's changing under the surface.We break the conversation down into four key areas: platforms, frontend tools, back office systems, and AI. We look at why Shopify still has the momentum, why BigCommerce's rebrand hasn't made much impact, and why platforms like Centra are gaining ground with modern fashion brands. Luke also explains why Magento is fading, and why Salesforce Commerce Cloud rarely comes up in conversation anymore.We talk about why fragmented tool stacks are falling out of favour, and how consolidation is changing the frontend experience. And we dive into the back office, where the ERP landscape is overdue for disruption, but still proving hard to unseat. Luke shares a strong view on where AI will change everything and where it won't.We end with predictions. Luke backs next-gen merchandising tools.

In this episode, Mr. Homer Abramian explained that “Iran,” pronounced (Eye-Ran), has been used for thousands of years, and that “Persia” is derived from the Iranian language (Parsi). He believes It is an inaccurate name and has no relation to race. Mr Abramian believes fears of regime collapse leading to civil war or separatism are hard to happen, noting that Iran's diverse nationalities are bound by intermarriages, shared identity and a common commitment to national unity despite dissatisfaction with the ruling regime.

Title: Unity and Cohesion in The FellowshipSpeaker: Pastor Chas HilderDate: 29th June 2025Location: Adelaide, Australia In this episode, we explore the four parables from Luke 15—the lost sheep, the lost coin, the lost son, and the upset brother. These stories illustrate how people can stray from fellowship in different ways, but also how the Lord and His church respond when they return. The speaker shares practical examples and personal stories that reflect how vital it is to actively seek the lost and to welcome them back with genuine joy. The message continues with a reminder that our love must be sincere, without partiality or judgment. Drawing from Romans, James, and Acts, the talk highlights unity in the church, regardless of background or past decisions. Whether someone is newly saved, returning after time away, or simply in need of support, our response should be one of mercy, not criticism. 3 Key Points: The four parables reveal different ways people can be lost—and how we are called to respond. Our love for one another should be genuine, without judgment or favoritism. Unity in the church means embracing all who seek the Lord, regardless of their journey.

On this episode, I'm talking about the future of AI, the end of websites as we know them, and what's actually changing behind the scenes in commerce, with Luke Hodgson, co-founder of Commerce Thinking and High Cohesion.We explore the idea of agentic shopping, how the consumer experience might shift from browsing websites to delegating tasks to AI, and what this means for platforms like Shopify and OpenAI.We also discuss the operational side of AI adoption, where brands are seeing real value today, what's getting in the way, and why post-purchase and repetitive workflows might be the most fertile ground for automation.If you're trying to separate AI signal from noise, or wondering what “practical AI” looks like inside a real consumer brand - this one's for you.This episode is brought to you by Reveni.

Too often, distance learning gets dismissed as fragmented or disjointed, seen as a patchwork of tech tools rather than a cohesive educational system. Teachers feel pulled in too many directions, and programs struggle to sustain impact beyond the novelty of going virtual.In this episode, Dr. Chris Harrington - leader of the EmpowerEd Research Institute, AccredVEd, and Digital Learning Works - shares how real transformation happens when virtual education is approached as a system. From curriculum to leadership to parent engagement, Chris lays out what it means to create a student-centered, coherent virtual learning ecosystem. He introduces specialized accreditation processes, discusses how to build systems around people - not tech - and shares inspiring stories from the field, including how one virtual program helped a struggling student graduate against the odds.If you're building - or rebuilding - a distance learning program, listen in for insights on:Why cohesion is the key to long-term success in virtual education.How to lead systems change with clarity, equity, and community buy-in.The power of specialized accreditation to elevate—not just evaluate—program quality.What it really means to put relationships at the center of digital learning.Episode Links:Digital Learning WORKSEmpowerEd Research InstituteAccredVEdHost Links:Discover more virtual learning opportunities and resources at CILC.org with Tami Moehring and Allyson Mitchell.Seth Fleischauer's Banyan Global Learning provides meaningful global learning experiences that prepare students across the globe for success in an interconnected world.

Dr. Chris Fuzie, President of the National Leaderology Association and Founder of CMF Leadership Consulting, is on a mission to elevate leadership into a respected science—and to develop better leaders by grounding them in theory and behavior. We dive into the emerging field of Leaderology and how Dr. Fuzie is working to verify and certify leadership practitioners as “Leaderologists.” He introduces the STICKUM Framework for building team cohesion through Sacrifice, Teamwork, Interaction, Communication, Keeping people focused, Unique norms and symbols, and Mission. Chris also explores the concept of Liminal Leadership—where leaders must seamlessly transition between leading and following—and explains how followership is as critical as leadership itself. --- Create Cohesion with Dr. Chris Fuzie Good day, dear listeners. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint podcast. And my guest today is Dr. Chris Fuzie, president of the National Leaderology Association, a non-profit organization that establishes and promotes leaderology, the study of leadership as a respected discipline in science. He is also the owner of CMF Leadership Consulting. So without further ado, welcome to the show, Chris. Thank you, Steve. I'm very happy to be here. Yeah, I'm looking forward to this. Well, I have to tell you that we are 300 episodes in and you're the first leaderologist that we ever had on this podcast. So it's kind of a big day for us. Oh, good. So, what is leaderology? I've never heard this before, but it sure sounds interesting. Well, okay, so you have psychology, you have psychologists. You have biology, you have biologists. You have all of these other ologies, which is the scientific study of or the study of whatever the discipline is. So leaderology is nothing more than the scientific study of leadership. So as a leaderologist, there's different levels within leaderology. And as a leaderologist, that means that you are formally educated in leadership theory and leadership practice.Share on X And the different levels, if you have one degree, two degrees, like I have three degrees, so three formal degrees in leadership. And so that's what a leaderologist is. It's just somebody who studies just like a biologist studies biology. So, is this a trademark designation or anyone can call themselves a leaderologist who are expert in leadership? Yeah, that's the thing is that we actually verify that the person is a leaderologist. And so through the National Leaderology Association, what we do is in order to join, you have to submit your transcripts to show that you've actually studied leadership, not management, but leadership. I know you know the difference between management and leadership, but that's why we look at the type of classes that people have taken, what is their dissertation on that kind of stuff. So we look at all that kind of stuff before we designate somebody. That's why they're called verified leaderologists, because they have been vetted, they have been verified as a leaderologist before we will say, yes, this person knows what they're talking about. Okay. That makes sense. So in terms of definition, my favorite definition is that you manage things and you lead people. What is your definition? What is the official designated definition of a leaderologist and the leader? I say the same thing. Manage things, you lead people. But a leaderologist understands the theories behind the concepts of leading people. As an example, let's use cohesion as an example. There's different ways of building cohesion. I use the acronym STICKUM. Personal sacrifice, teamwork, getting people to interact. C is communication. K is keeping people focused on the mission. U is unique norms and symbols. And then the M is the mission focus.Share on X If you think about all those things, when you look at cohesion, then it's important that you use all of those things. Plus cohesion,

Episode SummaryRenowned evolutionary psychologist Robin Dunbar returns for part two of his conversation with Jef Szi and the How Humans Work Podcast, diving deeper into the limits and leaps of human social patterns.In this episode, Professor Dunbar expands on the evolutionary foundations of human relationships, moving beyond social grooming and the endorphin system to explore kinship and the deeper nature of our social lives.He begins by examining the cost and time investment required to maintain our inner circle of intimate friends. From there, he maps out the concentric layers of more peripheral friendships and the behaviors and expectations that characterize them. Dunbar emphasizes the vital role our closest five friends play in our wellbeing and longevity.We then explore how humans scaled up from the group sizes typical of primates to the now-famous “Dunbar's Number” of 150. This leap—central to the Social Brain Hypothesis—reveals how brain size in primates correlates with social group size, due to the cognitive demands of managing complex, stable relationships.Dunbar illustrates these ideas through compelling examples—courtship, language, and religion—showing how humans have creatively repurposed existing biological mechanisms to sustain cohesion in increasingly larger groups.He also sheds light on how cultural practices like laughter, feasting, ritual, and storytelling serve to bind people together into broad, loosely connected “supergroups.”Ultimately, Dunbar offers a concentric model of our social world, illuminating the patterns, breakthroughs, and constraints of human sociality. This conversation helps us better understand our evolutionary journey and how we might draw on both embodied emotion and cognitive insight to navigate a highly uncertain future.***** About: Robin Dunbar: Robin Dunbar is Emeritus Professor of Evolutionary Psychology at Oxford University. His work in the Experimental Psychology department at the Magdalen College is concerned with ‘trying to understand the behavioral, cognitive and neuroendocrinological mechanisms that underpin social bonding in primates (in general) and humans (in particular).' Robin is the author of several books, including The Social Brain, Human Evolution, and Friends: Understanding the Power of Our Most Important Relationships. Professor Dunbar is known for advancing the Social Brain Hypothesis with Dunbar's Number. *****Episode #48 TakeawaysDunbar's number suggests humans can maintain 150 relationships.Time investment is key to strong friendships.Friendships provide emotional support during crises.Social interactions can be as beneficial as medical interventions.Volunteering can substitute for friendships in terms of social exposure.Cohesion in larger groups requires superficial cues and shared knowledge.

Ever wondered if your team's greatest strength could also be its biggest weakness? When expertise becomes tunnel vision, even the most talented teams can miss what matters most.Drawing from my enlightening conversation with Professor Henrik Bresman of INSEAD, co-author of "X-Teams," this episode explores a counterintuitive truth: truly exceptional teams aren't defined by their internal cohesion alone, but by their courage to look outward. While most organizations celebrate alignment and efficient execution, Bresman's research reveals that external focus, deep listening, and genuine co-creation with stakeholders create the real competitive edge.We dive into the "inward trap" that ensnares even the most brilliant teams, keeping them locked in internal debates while customers feel forgotten. You'll discover why presenting fully-baked solutions often backfires, transforming what should be partnerships into mere transactions. Through practical examples and actionable strategies, I'll walk you through the mindset shift from being expertise-driven to connection-focused.The most powerful moment comes when we realize that listening itself is transformative. I share personal experiences where simply creating space for customers to express frustrations—even when those truths were uncomfortable—completely turned around soured relationships. That's because people don't just want solutions; they want to feel heard, valued, and involved in creating their future.Ready to build an X-Team that leads rather than merely executes? This episode offers immediate steps you can take to audit your team's orientation, schedule genuine listening sessions with stakeholders, and move from problem-focused thinking to possibility-centered creation. Your expertise matters, but your ability to connect might matter even more.Subscribe to The Leadership Project for more insights that challenge conventional wisdom and transform how you lead.

Richard Brenner: How Small Signs of Cynicism Can Destroy Agile Team Cohesion Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Richard shares a powerful story about how team dysfunction often starts with small steps. During a joint retrospective with three agile teams, Richard witnessed a moment where a team member made a cynical comment toward a manager who was attempting to participate. This revealed a damaged relationship between management and the team, creating tension that Richard initially chose to ignore. Looking back, he would now immediately address such comments and tackle the "elephant in the room." Richard explains how seemingly minor behaviors like cynicism or passive-destructive actions (such as consistently being late to stand-ups) can significantly impact team health. He recommends establishing conflict resolution protocols early and using impact feedback without judgment to address these issues before they escalate. In this segment, we refer to Lysa Adkins' conflict resolution protocol.  Self-reflection Question: What small signs of dysfunction might you be overlooking in your team that could develop into larger problems? Featured Book of the Week: Solution Focused Coaching for Agile Teams Richard recommends "Solution Focused Coaching for Agile Teams" by Ralph and Veronika. This book describes the solution-focused approach to many common situations that Agile coaches face in their work. Richard values this resource for its practical guidance on addressing challenges through a positive, solution-oriented perspective rather than dwelling on problems.

Software architect and author Vlad Khononov joins host Jeff Doolittle for a discussion on balancing coupling in software design. They start by examining coupling and its relationship to complexity and modularity. Vlad explains the historical models for assessing coupling and introduces his updated approach, integration strength, which aims to simplify earlier frameworks and adapt them for modern practices. The episode explores three dimensions of coupling: integration strength (knowledge sharing), distance (proximity of components), and volatility (likelihood of change). Vlad illustrates how design decisions can lead systems toward complexity or modularity, and he emphasizes the importance of managing coupling to minimize cognitive load and cascading changes. The conversation wraps up with insights on applying these principles to real-world software projects and a reminder of coupling's critical role in software architecture.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show once again for another incredible episode: Human trafficking, satanic ritual abuse and Jesuit mind control survivor and whistleblower, published writer and author, mother, educator, blogger, and one of our most beloved and requested guests, Svali!A short overview about Svali in case you're new here or have missed any of Svali's episodes on this podcast - Svali has been a voice for survivors for years now through her blogs ‘Svali Speaks' and ‘Svali Speaks Again', and the books she has authored including, “Breaking Free of Cult Programming” - which has help lay the foundations for what we know today about cults, trauma-based mind control, deprogramming, secret societies including the Jesuit order, the history of the Illuminati and so much more, as well her brand new 3-part testimony series, “Never Give Up”, which gives a first time deep dive into Svali's own testimony and life. Born and raised in a cult and having experienced horrors beyond comprehension, Svali broke free of her cult group several years ago and has been on a quest to share the knowledge that she has learned from personal experience to help set others free. There are years of eye-opening information on her blogs, and her books give a very concise and no-nonsense look at the underworld of mind control and the underlying mechanisms to which it is orchestrated, used generationally, and hidden from society. Today, we celebrate an extraordinary milestone - the release of the third and final installment of her testimony memoir on Amazon, “Never Give Up Part 3: Getting Free”. This book series not only unveils untold stories from her life but also offers profound lessons in resilience, hope, and the miraculous journey of healing.In today's episode, we'll delve into some critical topics like Immortals and Delta programming, specifically how these are used in the Jesuit Order for memory and skills storage. We'll also explore the pathways to healing and recovery, offering support to survivors and those who assist them. A reminder that Svali's insights are drawn from her own personal experiences within the Jesuit Order and they highlight one aspect of mind control but are not universal to all cult groups and practices. And also a quick Trigger Warning to survivors as we will be discussing sensitive subjects related to mind control programming, parts, and systems. Please proceed with care.Svali stands before us today as a testament to what the human spirit can overcome. Her journey from the depths of cult control to liberation is nothing short of miraculous, and we are truly honored and blessed to have her share her wisdom with us today once again.

This Podcast Is Episode 615, And It's About Valuation Beyond Numbers: Enhancing Your Construction Business Worth When valuing a business, most people think straightforwardly about profits. While financial success is undoubtedly critical, it's far from the only factor determining a business's actual worth. Understanding valuation complexities can offer small business owners and entrepreneurs a clear roadmap for sustainable growth and long-term success.   While financial metrics are undoubtedly important, they do not provide a complete picture of a construction company's worth. For contractors and builders, understanding the nuances of business valuation can pave the way for sustainable growth, effective investments, and successful transitions, whether selling the business or attracting stakeholders.   Here is a fresh perspective on what makes a business truly valuable. We'll discuss traditional valuation metrics, the non-financial factors influencing worth, and practical strategies to enhance value.    The Importance of Business Valuation Business valuation isn't just for companies preparing for sale or investment. It's a powerful tool that helps you understand your business's health and identify areas for improvement. A valuation gives you insight into whether your construction business is structured for long-term sustainability or is at risk of operational inefficiencies, market challenges, or other pitfalls. Think of it this way: knowing your business's valuation is like running a health check. It gives you a snapshot of financial health, considers external factors, and ensures your company is ready to tackle challenges or opportunities that come your way. If valuation isn't already part of your business planning, it's time to make it one. Traditional Valuation Metrics Traditionally, business valuation has relied heavily on financial metrics. Two commonly known approaches include: Earnings multipliers This method involves multiplying a business's annual revenue or profits by a standard industry-specific figure. Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis DCF looks at a business's projected future cash flows and discounts them to present value, providing an estimate that accounts for risk and time. While highly detailed, this method depends heavily on accurate forecasts. These approaches are undoubtedly helpful but don't tell the whole story. A construction business can be profitable yet fail to secure a high valuation due to overlooked non-financial factors. Beyond Profits: The non-financial factors that matter While profits are essential, they're only the beginning of the valuation equation. Non-financial factors can significantly influence how much your business is worth: 1. Market Demand and Competitive Landscape  It's not just about how much profit you generate today—it's about your position in the market. Is the demand for your product or service growing, or is the market becoming saturated? Are competitors innovating faster than you? A future-proof business consistently assesses market trends and adapts to stay relevant. Pro Tip: Conduct regular SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis to understand your edge in the market. 2. Operational Risks  Operational risks can make the most profitable contracting business unattractive to potential buyers or investors. For example: Does the business rely heavily on an individual owner, a single key employee, or one major customer?  Are there documented systems and processes, or does the business suffer from inefficiencies?  Think of these risks as red flags that could threaten scalability and sustainability. 3. Reputation and Brand Image  Your brand's reputation isn't just about avoiding bad press—it's a key driver of trust among customers, clients, and partners. Businesses with a loyal customer base and a positive reputation often command higher valuations. Real-Life Example: A one-person remodeling company with a loyal local following may receive a higher valuation than a larger one with profits but poor customer reviews. 4. Innovation and Adaptability  How well does your business innovate? Construction businesses that embrace new technologies and methods are typically more resilient. Failure to adapt to changing technologies or market dynamics can cause even profitable enterprises to stall. Businesses that thrive on creativity invest in Research and Development, are ahead of the curve, and demonstrate resilience, which adds immense value during valuation. Key Question: Is your company actively curious about emerging trends and technologies?  5. Legal and Regulatory Compliance  Compliance isn't just about avoiding lawsuits—it's about showing that your business operates responsibly. Construction companies must comply with a myriad of regulations. A solid compliance record can improve a company's valuation by reducing risks related to potential lawsuits or fines. Demonstrating responsible operations assures buyers that your business is trustworthy. 6. Team Strength and Cohesion  The quality and stability of your workforce can influence valuation. A skilled, experienced, and well-coordinated team enhances productivity and project delivery, making the business more attractive to potential investors or buyers. High employee turnover can signal underlying issues and be a red flag to prospective investors. Warning Sign: Frequent employee turnover can signal a toxic workplace culture, directly impacting valuation. Strategies for maximizing business value To increase valuation, focus on both profitability and these often-overlooked factors: Diversify revenue streams: Reduce reliance on a single product, service, or client to decrease operational risk.  Document processes: Streamline workflows and document systems to make the business more scalable. Build a lasting brand: Invest in customer experience, brand identity, and online presence. A strong brand pays dividends in terms of valuation. Foster a strong team: To retain top talent, provide training, career development opportunities, and a positive workplace culture. Stay innovative: Review and refine your business model regularly to meet changing market needs. The role of innovation, compliance, and team strength True innovation, regulatory compliance, and a skilled team create a synergy that elevates your business value. These three pillars foster trust and sustainability: Innovation keeps you competitive. Compliance helps avoid costly legal issues. Team strength ensures the knowledge and talent needed for long-term growth. Final thoughts Unlock your business's actual value. Valuing a construction business encompasses much more than simply analyzing profits. To truly understand your company's worth, consider financial and non-financial factors. Focusing on market position, operational efficiency, and innovation can enhance your company's valuation and ensure long-term success in the competitive construction industry. Valuing a business is never just about profits. Understanding traditional metrics and exploring non-financial factors can position you for long-term success. Whether you're gearing up to sell or want to ensure your construction business thrives, a balanced approach is key. Want advice to boost your business value? Contact us.

Wayne Turmel is a co-founder of the Remote Leadership Institute, and co-author of The Long-Distance Leader and The Long-Distance Teammate. Wayne provides insights into the evolution of the workplace, the challenges of remote and hybrid work, and how leaders can adapt to these seismic changes. Wayne emphasizes the importance of intentionality in remote leadership and explores how technology, communication, and accountability shape successful remote teams. He introduces practical frameworks like the “3 Cs” of culture: Communication, collaboration, and cohesion. He explains why trust is at the heart of remote work, and covers the pitfalls of micromanagement, the necessity of proactive behavior in teams, and the role of leaders in navigating the complexities of hybrid work.     Key Takeaways [03:15] Wayne reflects on the technological advancements that have revolutionized remote work. He mentions how tools like Zoom, Slack, and Teams replaced older platforms like Skype for Business, transforming communication and collaboration. He explains that the pandemic accelerated the adoption of remote work, turning what was once a prediction into a global reality. [05:12] Wayne explains that trust is essential for remote work to succeed. He outlines three key elements: a shared mission, effective use of technology, and accountability. Trust enables team members to rely on one another, and without it, remote teams can struggle to function. [06:41] Wayne highlights the need for intentionality in remote leadership. Unlike in-person settings, remote leaders can't rely on casual interactions or physical cues to gauge how their team members are doing. Instead, they must proactively check in, build relationships, and create opportunities for engagement. [13:03] Wayne introduces the “3 Cs” of culture: Communication, Collaboration, and Cohesion. He explains how teams can intentionally design their culture by focusing on how they communicate, how work is done, and how team members connect. He shares practical examples, like creating informal Slack channels for casual conversations, to foster connections. [18:23] Wayne emphasizes the importance of proactivity. Great teammates go beyond their job descriptions—they step up during meetings, reach out to struggling colleagues, and contribute ideas. Proactivity builds trust and strengthens team dynamics, which is critical in remote settings. [25:40] Wayne argues that micromanagement undermines trust and creates unnecessary stress. Instead of focusing on how much time employees spend logged in, leaders should evaluate their teams based on outcomes and contributions. Micromanagement often leads to frustration and disengagement, both for leaders and employees. [31:42] Wayne notes that 70% of white-collar work now involves writing, yet many employees haven't been trained in effective communication. As remote work relies heavily on emails, chats, and written reports, he encourages leaders to invest in improving their team's writing skills to ensure clear and effective communication. [44:36] Wayne believes the future of work isn't just about where people work but how they work together. He stresses the need for intentional strategies that balance productivity, flexibility, and employee engagement. For leaders, adapting to these changes requires focusing on outcomes, fostering trust, and maintaining a clear vision. [46:49] And remember, “We should be in constant evolution and adapt to the new without ever losing our essence or our integrity.” - Pedro Capo Quotable Quotes "Trust is the glue of remote work; without it, teams can't thrive." "Remote leadership requires intentionality in every interaction." "Culture doesn't happen by chance; it's built through communication, collaboration, and cohesion." "Micromanaging remote teams is a fast track to frustration—for both leaders and employees." "Great teammates are proactive, productive, and long-term thinkers." "Leadership isn't about where people work; it's about how they work together." "The world has changed, and so must our approach to work." "The future of work isn't just remote; it's intentional."   This is the book mentioned in this episode   Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | Sponsored by | Rafti Advisors.
