What happens when the process meant to deliver justice becomes part of the problem?Dr. Marcus Anthony Hunter, author of Radical Reparations and professor at UCLA, was denied even the chance to compete for Washington State's groundbreaking reparations study—not because his proposal wasn't strong enough, but because it allegedly got lost in malware. No portal. No receipt. No accountability. And when he pushed back, he was denied a required debriefing—twice.Dr. Hunter breaks down what went wrong in Washington, why it matters for every state considering reparations, and what we all need to do right now. They discuss the Department of Commerce's troubling patterns, the role of Attorney General Nick Brown, and why legendary economist Dr. William Darity was also shut out."Reparations is sacred work," Dr. Hunter reminds us, "and if the process is not governed with integrity, the repair cannot and will not be trusted." This episode is a call to action.

On this week's Unpacking Europe podcast, the CER's deputy director Ian Bond sat down with Andy Hunder, president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine, and Victoria Vdovychenko, the joint leader of the Future of Ukraine program at Cambridge University's Centre for Geopolitics, to take stock of the situation on the fourth anniversary of the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

China has urged the United States to rescind its unilateral tariff measures imposed on trading partners, and said it would keep a close eye on any "alternative measures" adopted by Washington to sustain hefty duties, the Ministry of Commerce said on Monday.中国商务部周一表示，中方敦促美方立即取消对贸易伙伴的单边关税措施，并将密切关注美方为维持高额关税而采取的任何"替代措施"。While China remains committed to working with the US for mutual benefit and the stability of the global economy, officials and analysts said that Beijing will take firm countermeasures should Washington take any action that infringes upon its interests.尽管中国致力于与美国合作，实现互利共赢，维护全球经济稳定，但商务部和业内专家表示，如果美国采取任何侵犯中国利益的行动，中方将采取坚定的反制措施。Their comments came after the US Supreme Court scrambled the trade landscape on Friday by striking down sweeping tariffs proposed by US President Donald Trump.上周五，美国最高法院驳回了美国总统特朗普提出的全球关税政策，令贸易格局变得扑朔迷离。However, hours after the ruling, Trump vowed the tariffs would quickly be reimposed in other forms, announcing plans for a new 10 percent "global tariff" under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which he later raised to 15 percent.然而，在裁决出台数小时后，特朗普誓言将以其他形式迅速重新征收关税，并宣布计划根据《1974年贸易法》第122条征收新的10%的"全球关税"，之后他又将这一税率提高至15%。Prior to the US Supreme Court's decision, US tariffs on Chinese imports comprised five layers — 2.5 percent most-favored-nation tariffs, 8.4 percent Section 301 tariffs, 11 percent Section 232 tariffs, 10 percent fentanyl tariffs and 5.1 percent "reciprocal" tariffs — totaling 37 percent, according to calculations by Guosheng Securities, a State-owned enterprise headquartered in Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi province.据总部位于江西省南昌市的国企国盛证券估算，在美国最高法院做出裁决之前，美国对华关税由五层组成——2.5%的最惠国关税、8.4%的301关税、11%的232关税、10%的芬太尼关税和5.1%的"对等"关税——共计37%。The Supreme Court ruling invalidates the fentanyl tariffs and the "reciprocal" tariffs on China, cutting the baseline rate to 21.9 percent. But the addition of the new 15 percent "global tariff" again pushes up the composite rate to about 28.6 percent, Guosheng Securities noted.国盛证券指出，最高法院的裁决使针对中国的芬太尼关税和"对等"关税失效，基准税率降至21.9%。但新增的15%的"全球关税"再次将综合税率推高至28.6%左右。China is conducting "a comprehensive assessment" of the content and implications of the court ruling, a spokesperson for the Chinese Commerce Ministry said on Monday, stressing that China has consistently opposed all forms of unilateral tariff measures.中国商务部新闻发言人周一表示，中方正在对美国最高法院的判决内容及影响进行全面评估，并强调中方一贯反对各种形式的单边加征关税措施。The spokesperson noted that the US' unilateral actions, including the so-called "reciprocal" tariffs and fentanyl tariffs, not only violate international trade rules but also contravene US domestic law and serve the interests of no party.发言人指出，美方对等关税、芬太尼关税等单边措施既违反国际经贸规则，也违反美国内法，不符合各方利益。"We have also noted that the US is reportedly preparing alternative measures, such as trade investigations, to maintain tariffs on trading partners," the spokesperson said. "China will closely monitor the situation and take firm actions to safeguard its legitimate interests.发言人表示："我们也注意到，美方正在准备采取贸易调查等替代措施，以期维持对贸易伙伴加征的关税，中方将对此保持密切关注并坚定维护中方利益。""Facts have shown that both China and the US stand to benefit from cooperation and lose from confrontation," the spokesperson added.发言人还表示："事实反复证明，中美双方合则两利，斗则俱伤。"Relations between China and the US, after experiencing several ups and downs and multiple rounds of trade talks over the past year, achieved an "overall dynamic stability", as described by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Following the latest trade consultations in Malaysia in October, the two countries agreed to extend their tariff truce for one year.中国外交部长王毅表示，中美关系在过去一年经历波折、展开多轮磋商后，实现了"总体稳定"。今年十月在马来西亚举行的最新一轮贸易磋商后，两国同意将贸易休战期延长一年。Luo Zhiheng, chief economist and head of the research institute at Yuekai Securities, said, "The US still retains relatively high tariffs on China, and its efforts to contain China in high-tech sectors remain unabated."粤开证券首席经济学家、研究院院长罗志恒表示："美国仍然对中国保留了较高的关税，而且遏制中国高科技发展的步伐并未放缓。"Ultimately, the upper hand in future negotiations between China and the US depends on each side's core leverage points — their respective economic resilience and technological strength, Luo added.罗志恒补充道，中美未来博弈的上风，根本上取决于各自的"压舱石"，即经济基本盘和科技实力的较量。For China, the key to mitigating the impact of external uncertainties and securing the initiative in the long-term China-US trade dynamics lies in strengthening its economic fundamentals, enhancing its capacity for independent technological innovation and maintaining strategic resolve amid a complex and evolving international landscape, added Luo, Yuekai Securities' chief economist.罗志恒补充道，对中国来说，应对长期外部不确定性、立于不败之地的关键在于立足国内，夯实经济基本盘、加强科技自立自强，保持战略定力。Xiong Yuan, chief economist at Guosheng Securities, pointed to fundamental constraints that render Section 122 unsuitable as a long-term tariff mechanism. The statute imposes a hard 150-day time limit on any duties imposed, expiring in late July unless extended by an act of the US Congress.国盛证券首席经济学家熊园指出，由于存在根本性的制约因素，第122条不适合作为长期关税机制。根据该法规，任何关税都有严格的150天期限，除非美国国会通过法案延长，否则将于明年7月底到期。The Trump administration's invocation of Section 122 is likely to serve as only an interim measure, with Xiong anticipating a midterm pivot back to the more durable legal frameworks of Sections 301 and 232.熊园认为，特朗普政府援引第122条可能只是一个过渡性举措，预计中期将重新转向更持久的301和232条款的法律框架。Sean Stein, president of the US-China Business Council, said he hopes that future trade talks can move beyond tariffs, tax rates and export controls to explore how the two economies can cooperate more effectively, enabling companies from both countries to better compete and operate in each other's markets.美中贸易全国委员会会长克雷格·艾伦表示，他希望未来的贸易谈判能够超越关税、税率和出口管制，探讨两国经济如何更有效地合作，使两国企业能够在对方市场更好地竞争和运营。"The US and China are the world's two largest, most technologically advanced and most dynamic economies. There are a lot of things that we need to get right on the economic front," Stein said.艾伦说："美国和中国是世界上规模最大、技术最先进、最具活力的两个经济体。在经济方面，我们有很多事情需要处理好。"rescind /rɪˈsɪnd/废除；撤销sustain hefty duties /səˈsteɪn ˈhefti ˈdjuːtiz/维持高额关税infringes upon /ɪnˈfrɪndʒɪz əˈpɒn/侵犯；违背most-favored-nation tariffs /moʊst ˈfeɪvərd ˈneɪʃən ˈtærɪfs/最惠国关税fentanyl tariffs /ˈfentənəl ˈtærɪfs/芬太尼关税reciprocal tariffs /rɪˈsɪprəkəl ˈtærɪfs/对等关税contravene /ˌkɒntrəˈviːn/违反；抵触tariff truce /ˈtærɪf truːs/关税休战interim measure /ˈɪntərɪm ˈmeʒər/ 临时措施

In this episode of One Vision — FinTech Fuse podcast, Theodora Lau and Jas Randhawa discuss the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) and implications for agentic commerce. They explore the challenges of chargebacks, the need for regulatory clarity, and the importance of consumer independence in the evolving landscape of e-commerce. While adoption is likely to grow, major risks include consumer manipulation, monopolistic outcomes, and the amount of personal data agents may require (buying, browsing, health, and other patterns), increasing privacy and security concerns. Now is the time to engage with policymakers and advocate for regulatory clarity and for the well-being of consumers. 00:00 Welcome Back to One Vision + Introducing Jas Randhawa (StrategyBRIX)01:10 What Is the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP)?

For this agent to be really effective, it just needs to know everything that's in my head, right? It's gonna be very effective, but that's again, a major risk because no one's watching out for the consumer.”Hot take: “ The future of this world is unfortunately not you or me. It's a lot of these younger kids, their ecosystem is a lot different. These products are being designed for them.”More about our guest

Schedule a free discovery call. https://marriedentrepreneur.co/lets-talk In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Thriving in Tandem, Robert and Kay Lee Fukui sit down with Ford Taylor, chairman of the U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce board and founder of FSH Consulting Group. Ford shares his remarkable journey from scaling a struggling two-employee screen-printing shop into a $300M, 2,000-employee enterprise to ultimately redefining success when business growth came at the cost of his marriage, family, and personal well-being. His story is a sobering reminder that external success can hide internal brokenness—and that unchecked ambition often extracts a hidden toll at home. At the heart of the conversation is a defining moment every busy entrepreneur needs to hear. Ford recounts the night his six-year-old daughter asked him, through tears and ice cream, an innocent question that became the wake-up call that saved his life, redirected his priorities, and forced a courageous decision to realign business leadership with family leadership. Ford candidly opens up about insecurity, burnout, infidelity, and the hard road of rebuilding trust—offering hope to couples who feel trapped between providing financially and being emotionally present. The episode closes with practical wisdom for married entrepreneurs who want to win at work and at home. Ford outlines the guardrails he and his wife put in place—clear communication, shared decision-making around travel and opportunities, season-based priorities, and values-driven clarity. He introduces a simple but profound framework for balancing family, income, health, and community, reminding listeners that success is not about doing everything, but about intentionally choosing what matters most. This conversation is both a warning and an invitation: you don't have to hit rock bottom to change course. Website: https://www.transformlead.com/  Podcast & Resources: https://fordtaylortalks.com/  Key Takeaways Success without alignment is dangerous: Business growth means little if it costs your marriage, health, or relationship with your children. Children often see what adults ignore: Honest feedback—even from a six-year-old—can reveal what success metrics miss. Clarity creates peace: Defining values, priorities, and boundaries before opportunities arise removes guilt, conflict, and indecision. Guardrails protect trust: Openly discussing travel, time, and commitments strengthens both marriage and business leadership. Seasons matter: There are times to lean into work and times to lean into family—agreement and communication make both possible. You don't have to break to rebuild: Learn from others' stories so change can happen proactively, not painfully. Bio Jerry "Ford" Taylor grew up in Paris, Texas before heading to Texas A&M, where he earned his BBA in Business Management—but his most unforgettable college credential wasn't academic. Ford and his soon-to-be wife, Sandra, became campus favorites by teaching disco and country western dance to thousands of students, a 16-year run that revealed an early gift for equipping people with confidence and connection. After graduation, Ford stepped into retail management, unaware that the entrepreneurial chapter ahead would redefine his career. In 1982, Ford and Sandra purchased a struggling two-employee screen-printing shop, C.C. Creations, and transformed it into a powerhouse. Through acquisitions and growth, Ford eventually became CEO of Brazos Sportswear, a 2,000-employee, $300-million leader in screen printing and embroidery. His business impact earned him recognition as Texas Small Businessperson of the Year and a top-10 finalist nationally. In 1998, after decades of building and leading high-growth companies, Ford pivoted toward leadership consulting—first as a Senior VP at Great American Insurance, then as an ordained minister committed to helping leaders remove constraints and build healthier cultures. Today, Ford is the founder of FSH Consulting Group and Transformational Leadership, training organizations across the U.S. and around the world. He has delivered leadership development and conflict-resolution training in more than a dozen nations, authored the best-selling Relactional Leadership, co-wrote The Hike, and hosts the podcast Ford Taylor Talks. A sought-after speaker and board member—including Chairman of the Board for the U.S. Christian Chamber—Ford continues to blend business excellence with servant-leadership influence. He and Sandra, married since 1981, have three daughters and a grandson, and their legacy continues to ripple through every leader, team, and city they serve.

Here is a short, first-person podcast description based on your transcript:Episode Description:Are your MSP prospects ghosting you after you present their network assessment? It's probably because you're treating that assessment like a discovery call—and skipping the most fundamental part of the consultative sales process.In this episode, I'm breaking down a massive mistake I see IT sellers making: presenting problems instead of uncovering pain. A network assessment gives you facts and technical vulnerabilities, but facts don't motivate buyers—feelings and business impact do. People don't pay to fix problems that aren't causing them pain.Tune in to hear why all roads lead back to discovery, and learn how to properly structure your sales process so you can stop getting ghosted and start closing at a best-in-class rate.//Welcome to The Ray J.

In this solo episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan dives deep into actionable strategies for coaches looking to get "unstuck," sign more high-end clients, and build lasting, meaningful rapport with business owners. With Rode Dog away, Karl brings raw, practical guidance on everything from lead generation and goal setting to winning the trust of seven-figure entrepreneurs and using universal truths to transform coaching practice. Key Topics Covered Strategies to Get Unstuck as a Coach Karl outlines a direct three-step process for coaches feeling stuck: get real about what you're not doing, set simple goals with clear steps, and break sabotaging habits. He drills into the importance of direct action, from reaching out to close friends and family for referrals, to building substantial prospect lists, and ramping up daily outreach efforts. Lead Generation and Goal Setting Karl emphasizes that most coaches fail simply because they aren't generating enough leads or having enough conversations with potential clients. He offers tangible frameworks for stacking the odds in your favor—like setting a goal to sign one client within seven days and reaching out consistently, no matter what obstacles arise. Building Rapport That Closes High-End Clients Success in selling coaching hinges on powerful rapport. Karl shares a proven three-step rapport-building method: genuine compliments, relatable conversations, and strategic framing (saying no to non-ideal clients to boost trust). He stresses, "People buy from people they like, and people like people like themselves." Selling to Seven-Figure vs. Smaller Business Owners Karl details the mindset differences between selling to affluent, driven business owners versus those just starting out. He shares the 10-10-80 influence frame, how to educate and impress experienced prospects, and why hunger (not mere motivation) is your #1 client selection metric. Universal Truths That Drive Success The episode wraps up with essential universal truths and time-tested advice—from the 80/20 rule and compounding wealth principles to the reality that "freedom lives in structure" and that laughter and play are keys to sustained energy and youthfulness in business. Notable Quotes "If you want to improve your closing, improve your opening. The opening is all about building rapport." "You can control your effort, not your outcome. Stack the odds in your favor with persistent action." "Lead generation isn't sexy, but it's what you're not doing and what's making you stuck." "People who read earn double what non-readers do. Teach something unique and awesome—affluent people respect that." "Trust is the currency of business. What are you doing every day to build and accelerate it?" "Being fun will open more doors than determination ever will." Actionable Takeaways Generate More Leads: Make a list of 100+ local businesses or prospects and commit to reaching out—via email, phone, or message—every single day, regardless of life's curveballs. Set Simple, Achievable Goals: Break big goals into three actionable steps and ruthlessly eliminate habits that lead to procrastination or hiding. Build Rapport, Not Scripts: Use heartfelt compliments, highlight common ground, and boldly state what you do not do—this authenticity attracts the right clients.

David Roberts spent nearly four decades in finance—starting on Wall Street in 1983 and joining Angelo Gordon in 1993, when the firm was a 15-person shop managing about $300M. By the time he left, the firm managed roughly $50B in assets, and David contributed to that growth by helping build and launch several of the firm's businesses. After retiring, he created Sparks From Culture, a widely read Substack, which provides its nearly 9,000 readers with “weekly personal essays on wealth, status, and family from someone with generational wealth, writing with transparency.”Our host, Ross Overline, is one of David's readers.In this conversation, David and Ross explore the hardest questions finance leaders rarely discuss publicly: How do you know when you have “enough”? Why does comparison keep resetting our definition of success? What are the risks of wealth concentration?They discuss inequality, philanthropy, competing views of capitalism's current state, and how greed often shows up as self-justification. David makes the case for generosity as a stabilizing force in society—and shares how he's translated these beliefs into real, high-impact giving.The episode closes with a simple but unforgettable principle: the butterfly effect—small acts of generosity can change a life more than you'll ever know.Meet David David Roberts is a retired Partner of Angelo Gordon, where he joined in 1993, helping build and scale investment platforms across real estate, structured credit, and net lease.

It takes all economic strengths and assets along with regional partnership to deliver the world-class experience that impacts business recruitment and retention.So how does North Carolina stay on top of the charts?

In episode 240, Coffey talks with Yoram Solomon about motivating disengaged employees by building trust, increasing autonomy, and aligning intrinsic motivation with meaningful work.  They discuss quiet quitting and job hugging trends in uncertain economic times; intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation using the car engine analogy; why pay and bonuses fail as long-term engagement strategies; the critical link between trust, autonomy, and employee engagement; why trustworthiness matters more than intelligence or effort; how micromanagement destroys creativity and productivity; designing roles that fit personality and tolerance for repetitive work; diagnosing turnover caused by boring or monotonous jobs; involving employees in organizational change initiatives; rebuilding lost trust through accountability and ownership; and why leadership should be treated as a profession rather than a promotion.  For HR teams who discuss this podcast in their team meetings, we've created a discussion starter PDF to help guide your conversation.
