Child-led support is often misunderstood. Some imagine it as a chaotic free-for-all where the child runs the show. Some worry it means abandoning all structure. In reality, a child-led approach is about moving from being a director to being a partner. In this episode, Emily Kircher-Morris sits down with speech-language pathologist Nicole Casey to dismantle the compliance-based models of therapy that have dominated the field for decades. Nicole explains how shifting the focus from "fixing" speech to fostering authentic connection creates deeper buy-in and faster generalization of skills. They discuss Gestalt Language Processing (GLP), why we need to stop writing "80% accuracy" goals, and how using rubrics can revolutionize the way parents and educators track meaningful progress. TAKEAWAYS Child-led is an approach that centers the child's interests and experiences, removing arbitrary adult-directed rules (like "sit still") to prioritize safety, connection, and agency. Speech is just one form of communication, but gestures, hand-leading, and AAC play major roles in communication. Some children learn language in chunks or scripts tied to emotional context. Goals based on 80% accuracy are arbitrary and often measure compliance rather than authentic communication. Using rubrics allows teams to track the quality and autonomy of a skill (e.g., self-advocacy) across different contexts, offering a visual and qualitative way to see growth. Before enforcing a direction, ask, "Does this rule actually serve the child, or is it just for my convenience?" The Educator Hub opens the week of February 16! Go here for more info, and if you'd like, you can be alerted the minute it opens. Nicole Casey, MS, CCC-SLP, is a speech-language pathologist, educator, and the founder of The Child-Led SLP and Child-Led Therapy Center. She is widely recognized for her work in shifting speech therapy away from compliance-based approaches and toward connection-first, neuroaffirming support for autistic children. Nicole's approach empowers adults to follow the child's lead, honor all forms of communication, and focus on building authentic relationships as the foundation for meaningful progress. Through her online courses, membership community, and Let Them Lead podcast, she is helping parents and professionals reimagine what effective, compassionate therapy can truly look like.

Mid-market organizations are transitioning from pilot projects to operationalizing generative AI and agentic workflows, according to a TechEYE article and Tech Isle survey cited by Dave Sobel. This shift centers on outcome-driven automation but exposes providers to new liability concerns, mainly due to fragmented, unreliable data and shadow AI usage—employees employing unauthorized tools outside official controls. The primary risk is that MSPs may be blamed for incidents where contract boundaries and technical controls do not cover browser-based generative AI use, making forensic evidence and documented enforcement essential for defending accountability. Supporting data from Tech Isle found that over 5,000 companies are pursuing structured approaches to AI-enabled growth, but face persistent issues in data trust, governance, and user fatigue. Additionally, European investment in sovereign cloud infrastructure is projected to triple between 2025 and 2027, driven by regulatory demands and concerns about U.S. data sovereignty. MSPs managing split architectures—sovereign providers for regulated data and hyperscalers for everything else—encounter API mismatches, operational complexity, and margin pressure. The recommendation is to standardize policy enforcement, identity management, and residency mapping while prioritizing audit-ready reporting and exception handling. AI-driven cyberattacks have increased, with reports from Level Blue and Check Point Research highlighting a surge in both attack volume and sophistication. Only 53% of CISOs feel prepared for AI threats, despite 45% expecting to be impacted within a year. Browser-based generative AI use introduces visibility gaps, raising the risk of negligence claims when service providers cannot demonstrate governance or forensic readiness. Reauthorization of the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) underscores that voluntary data sharing is inadequate, with CIRCA now requiring mandatory 72-hour incident reporting for critical infrastructure. The key takeaways for MSPs and IT leaders are to proactively define AI coverage and governance in contracts, enforce acceptable use policies, and instrument monitoring to close visibility gaps. Providers who can deliver forensic-grade telemetry, managed compliance programs, and operational readiness for incident reporting will be better positioned to defend against penalties, retain higher-value accounts, and offer meaningful differentiation. These structural challenges—fragmented control planes, increased compliance costs, and permanent risk friction—necessitate a strategic shift toward governance-led service models.Three things to know today00:00 Midmarket Shifts to Agentic AI as Europe Triples Sovereign Cloud Spending by 202706:08 Most Security Chiefs Say They're Not Ready for AI-Powered Cyberattacks Coming This Year09:46 CISA 2015 Reauthorized Through 2026; CIRCIA Mandates Expose Voluntary Sharing Failure This is the Business of Tech.

Security doesn't fail because you missed a tool, it fails because “secure today” tricks you into relaxing tomorrow. This episode exposes why the real fight isn't compliance… it's whether your defenses hold up once attackers hit you with machine-speed pressure. Ron sits down with Sonali Shah, CEO of Cobalt, to talk about how human-led, AI-powered penetration testing is evolving into full-spectrum offensive security. Sonali shares how Cobalt can start a test in 24 hours, push findings directly into Slack/Teams and Jira, and use learnings from 5,000+ pentests a year to continuously sharpen what gets caught. The big takeaway: automation finds the easy stuff as humans find the business-logic traps and attack chains that actually break companies.

Aengus Cox, Consumer Affairs Correspondent, reports on the CCPC's latest enforcement action.
In a podcast recorded at ITEXPO / MSP EXPO, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Tomas Sjostrom, CISSP and President of Technology Services at James Moore Co., about how cybersecurity and compliance priorities are evolving for small and mid-sized businesses. Sjostrom explained that James Moore is a long-established CPA firm with more than 60 years of experience serving Florida-based organizations, and nearly three decades delivering IT managed services alongside traditional financial and audit work. As cybersecurity threats increase and regulatory requirements expand, SMBs are showing greater interest in both protecting their environments and demonstrating compliance—often driven by cyber insurance requirements, customer demands, or new business opportunities. A key theme of the discussion focused on how organizations assess and manage cybersecurity risk. Sjostrom emphasized that the process begins with understanding what is motivating a customer's concern, whether it is insurance questionnaires, data protection issues, or compliance mandates tied to industries such as defense contracting. From there, James Moore leverages onboarding and automated discovery tools to establish a baseline and support continuous compliance. “Customers want to meet new requirements as fast as possible, reliably, and without spending excessive time or money,” Sjostrom noted, highlighting the need for scalable and automated approaches. The conversation also touched on AI adoption and compliance readiness. Sjostrom observed that less mature organizations often start with questions around data protection and privacy, while more advanced companies already understand where their critical assets reside and can move more quickly toward compliant AI deployments. As cybersecurity, compliance, and AI increasingly intersect, Sjostrom positioned proactive risk monitoring as a strategic advantage for SMBs working with trusted MSP and advisory partners.

Guest post by Crystel Robbins Rynne, CEO, HRLocker Irish SMEs are no strangers to pressure. They are the backbone of the economy, the employers of local communities, and the innovators driving Ireland's next wave of growth. Yet beneath that resilience lies a quieter, more pervasive anxiety. It surfaced clearly in HRLocker's recent research. As revealed in our Irish SME HR Report 2025, three-quarters (74%) of Irish SMEs fear they would fail a surprise Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) inspection. That figure is not about negligence. It is about confidence. Or more accurately, the lack of it. And it signals that the compliance burden on SMEs has reached a tipping point. The Confidence Gap: Why Good Businesses Still Feel Exposed Most SMEs want to do the right thing. They want fair contracts, accurate time records, transparent policies, and safe workplaces. But intent alone does not create compliance readiness. The reality is that many SMEs are operating with: Outdated or inconsistent employment contracts Patchy training records Manual time tracking that does not reflect modern hybrid work Policies stored across inboxes, desktops, and filing cabinets HR processes that rely on one overstretched person remembering everything This is not a failure of leadership. It is a failure of bandwidth. When regulations evolve quickly, inspections become more rigorous, and hybrid work adds new layers of complexity, SMEs often lack the internal infrastructure to keep pace. The result is a growing sense of audit anxiety. A fear that something important has slipped through the cracks. The Emotional Toll of Compliance Uncertainty Compliance is not just a legal obligation. It is an emotional one. For founders and HR leads, low confidence shows up as worry about reputational damage, fear of fines or enforcement actions, stress around documentation gaps, and sleepless nights before audits. When compliance becomes a source of dread, it drains energy from the work that actually grows a business. Innovation, culture, and customer experience all take a hit. Why Technology Is the Turning Point The good news is that the confidence gap is not inevitable. It is structural, and structural problems can be solved. HR technology is transforming compliance from a reactive scramble into a proactive and predictable process. The shift is significant. 1. Audit readiness becomes automatic. Modern HR platforms centralise contracts, policies, training records, and time data in one secure system. Version control, digital signatures, and automated updates give SMEs clarity about where they stand. 2. Gaps surface before they become liabilities. Dashboards highlight missing documents, expired certifications, or overdue reviews. Issues can be addressed long before an inspection. 3. Hybrid work becomes compliant by design. Accurate time tracking, remote attendance logs, and digital leave management remove the guesswork from flexible work arrangements. 4. Documentation becomes a strength, not a stressor. With everything stored, searchable, and timestamped, SMEs can demonstrate compliance with confidence rather than hope. 5. Leaders reclaim headspace. When the administrative burden lifts, founders and HR teams can focus on people, culture, and strategy. The Irish Context: Why Local Matters Ireland's regulatory landscape is unique. WRC inspections, GDPR obligations, and the rapid shift to hybrid work have created a compliance environment that is both demanding and fast-moving. The pace of change has been extraordinary. In the past three years, Irish employers have navigated statutory sick leave, auto-enrolment pensions, the right to request remote and flexible working, gender pay gap reporting, and domestic violence leave, with pay transparency requirements now on the horizon. Parental leave entitlements have also expanded. Each change, even when welcome, adds another layer of documentation, policy updates, and process adjustments. For SMEs that are already stretched thin, k...
Guest post by Martin McMahon Ireland's new journalism funding schemes are sold as a boost for pluralism, innovation, and public-interest reporting. Administered by Coimisiún na Meán, they allocate millions of euro across digital, print, radio, and podcast projects. On paper, it reads like a sensible intervention in a fragile media ecosystem. But look closely at the rules, and a different pattern emerges. The key gate is eligibility. Funding is restricted to new projects only. That sounds neutral even encouraging innovation. In practice, it excludes the very outlets that have already done the hard work: building audiences slowly, developing trust over years, and producing consistent investigative or public-interest journalism. A podcast that has run independently for five years, cultivated a loyal following, and held power to account is ineligible. A brand-new series launched by a national broadcaster or media chain qualifies automatically. Continuity, under this design, becomes a liability. Large media organisations are structurally advantaged by this model. They already own studios, employ producers, control distribution, and can redeploy salaried staff internally. For them, launching a "new" podcast can be little more than a branding exercise. The marginal cost is low, the compliance infrastructure is already in place, and the administrative burden of grant reporting is routine. Independent podcasters operate under entirely different conditions. They build audiences incrementally. They rely on consistency rather than launch cycles. Their survival depends on longevity, not novelty. Yet the funding rules reward churn, launch, claim funding, conclude, rather than durable journalism. The schemes also require applicants to be regulated entities or partnered with one. That effectively privileges organisations already inside formal regulatory structures, while freelancers and small independents must align themselves with established outlets to gain access. Platform-neutrality in theory becomes entity-selectivity in practice. Compliance requirements, transcripts, accessibility deliverables, reporting metrics, public portal uploads are not inherently unreasonable. But they function as a moat. Large organisations absorb them as overhead. Smaller operators experience them as strain. The result is predictable: funding flows toward those already institutionally secure. None of this requires bad faith. No editor receives instructions. No voice is formally silenced. Instead, the architecture of the scheme produces a steady, measurable effect. Incumbency is reinforced. Stability outside the system is penalised. Independence becomes harder to sustainwithout alignment. This is not censorship in the traditional sense. It is something subtler: structural selection. Thedesign of eligibility rules quietly determines which media models are viable and which must struggle on the margins. If the goal is pluralism, the question is unavoidable: does a "new-projects-only" model expand the range of independent voices or does it simply subsidise production activity within existing media hierarchies? Public funding shapes markets. The shape it produces here deserves closer scrutiny. See more stories here.

What happens when a $16 billion RIA decides to double down on leadership, integration, and “advisor intelligence” in the middle of an AI-driven vortex of change? In this episode of the Registered Investment Advisor Podcast, Seth Greene interviews Jennifer des Groseilliers, CEO of The Mather Group, who shares how her path from Vermont to law school to leadership roles at Ameriprise, MetLife, and a MassMutual franchise ultimately led her to the helm of The Mather Group, a $16 billion fee-only RIA. As a key leader at The Mather Group, Jennifer oversees a 190-person team, 40 wealth advisors, and a growth engine built on 23 acquisitions, an integrated planning platform, and a niche focus on Fortune 200 executives nearing retirement. She discusses leadership development, behavioral finance, and the rise of AI in wealth management—explaining why “advisor intelligence” is now the real differentiator for firms that want to win the next decade. Key Takeaways: → How taking over compliance, portfolio management, and back-office operations for acquired firms frees advisors to focus on client-facing work and deep planning. → Why it's essential to bifurcate sales and advice and how that structure enhances both growth and advisor effectiveness. → How AI is creating a vortex of change in financial services and why advisor intelligence around values, behavior, and trust matters more than ever. → Why The Mather Group sees itself as an integrator, not an aggregator. → How carefully refined and consistent platform allowed the firm to scale to roughly $16 billion in AUM. Jennifer des Groseilliers is the Chief Executive Officer of The Mather Group. Jen cultivates a collaborative culture through inclusive and supportive leadership. Her unwavering commitment to keeping clients at the center of all efforts drives her approach. Jen's extensive professional experience includes serving as a Managing Partner in the MetLife Premier Client Group in 2013, leading a team of over 160 financial advisors. She became the CEO of MassMutual Illinois in 2016 and, in 2020, after a merger with WestPoint Financial Group, assumed the role of Partner and Chief Experience Officer, leading various departments, including Investments, Compliance, Practice Development, and Financial Planning.

In this conversation, GWIC host Dr. Hemma R. Lomax and Shalini Rajoo explore the critical role of decision rubrics in governance, accountability, and trust, especially in the context of AI. Shalini shares her journey from law to compliance, emphasizing the importance of understanding systems and the impact of leadership on decision-making processes. They discuss how transparency and clarity in decision-making can build trust within organizations and the necessity of responsible AI governance. Practical tips for improving decision quality are also provided, highlighting the importance of self-awareness and critical thinking in leadership. Takeaways: The biggest risk in governance is unclear decisions. AI amplifies existing clarity or confusion in decision-making. Systems and rules reflect the identities of their architects. Everyone has an impact on those around them every day. Leadership is about improving the people around you. It's not just about rules; it's about how people behave. Decision rubrics provide consistency and predictability in outcomes. Transparency in decision-making processes builds trust. Slowing down to ask questions can lead to better decision-making. Writing down the reasons for decisions brings clarity and accountability. Sound bites: "Systems and rules are not inherently neutral." "Transparency in decision making builds trust." "Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast."

Across more than two decades in law, compliance, HR, and organizational leadership, Shalini has helped companies and leaders move beyond check-the-box frameworks to build structures that embed accountability, clarity, and performance into everyday decisions. She began her career in South Africa, first as a public prosecutor and then leading regulatory work with the Department of Trade and Industry, collaborating with legislative and executive stakeholders on corporate, competition, and consumer law. After relocating to the U.S., Shalini practiced commercial litigation. She later served as Director of Global Business Conduct for a Fortune 500 company, where she redesigned ethics and compliance systems, led global risk assessments, and championed psychological safety and integrity-based practices. Today, Shalini's work centers on helping leaders clarify decision rights, governance architectures, and accountability pathways — especially as organizations adopt AI and automation. She recently spoke at the Opal Group's Corporate Governance & Ethics in the Age of AI conference, where she reframed AI governance as a leadership-infrastructure challenge rather than a purely technical or compliance one.
Most founders think HR = legal protection. A compliance checkbox. Something you have to “deal with” when a problem pops up — and something you try not to think about the rest of the time. But if you're constantly putting out fires with your team, drowning in management conversations, or second-guessing every business decision because you don't know how it will land, HR might not be the solution — it's more likely the root of the problem. In this episode we flip the script about HR and help you dig into what it should actually be: the engine that drives growth, profitability, and a team that doesn't want to leave.Listen in to hear why:The “call me when you need me” approach to HR is keeping you stuck in reactive mode, always plugging holes instead of building systems that grow with you.Your brilliant ideas might be unprofitable — and how strategic HR can help you find out for sure.Proactive support helps you adapt to organizational changes quickly and efficiently. Compliance is the gateway, not the destination — the real work is in leadership development and communication.You need a partner who filters every decision through the lens of “How will this actually work with our team?”
Are reefer rates finally stabilizing, or are short-term market spikes still catching brokers off guard? What does the FMCSA crackdown, rising broker liability risks, and labor disputes mean for your freight strategy right now? We talk real freight market analysis, customer relationship strategy during tight capacity, even when servicing loads at a loss, along with how FMCSA enforcement removing 2,000+ non-compliant carriers is tightening trucking capacity and forcing brokers and shippers to double down on carrier vetting, compliance checks, and risk management ahead of a major Supreme Court broker liability ruling. I also dive into chameleon carriers, insurance scrutiny, and why proactive carrier audits are non-negotiable, then wrap it up with a frank look at Teamsters vs. UPS labor tensions and what it signals for transportation costs, trucking market trends, and long-term supply chain strategy, so you can stay sharp, stay compliant, and make smarter freight decisions in today's volatile logistics environment.

Most firms treat the tax interview like data collection.The smartest firms treat it like positioning.In this micro episode of The Growth Minded Accountant, Lee breaks down a simple shift that can fundamentally change how clients see you. Not after tax season. Not when you launch a new advisory package. But in the first few minutes of your tax interview.Clients decide what you are very quickly. If the conversation starts with forms, documents, and checklists, you are framed as a processor. If it starts with context, change, and forward-looking questions, you are framed as an advisor.Same tax return. Completely different perceived value.In this episode, you will learn:• Why the opening minutes of the tax interview matter more than you think • The subtle mistake that keeps firms stuck in compliance positioning • The simple three-minute shift that elevates the entire client relationship • How consistent messaging through blogs, newsletters, and social reinforces your advisory roleAdvisory is not a service you sell after April 15.It is a narrative you repeat everywhere.If you want to move from compliance to advisory, this is where it starts.The Growth Minded Accountant is for firm owners who want to build firms that scale smarter, position stronger, and evolve beyond compliance.Subscribe for weekly conversations on growth, advisory strategy, positioning, and building a firm that runs differently.
In a podcast recorded at ITEXPO / MSP EXPO, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Doug Barbin, Chief Growth Officer at Schellman, about how rapid AI adoption is reshaping compliance requirements for MSPs, cloud providers, and technology companies. Barbin outlined Schellman's role as one of the largest independent providers of technology, risk, and AI-related compliance assessments, serving organizations across highly regulated industries. Barbin explained that AI adoption is accelerating far faster than previous technology shifts such as cloud computing, leaving many organizations scrambling to keep pace with evolving regulatory expectations. “The adoption of AI has come out four or five times as fast as what we saw with cloud,” Barbin said. “Organizations are now trying to keep up not just from a technology risk perspective, but also from a compliance and governance standpoint.” He pointed to emerging standards such as ISO 42001 as critical frameworks helping companies manage AI governance at scale. The conversation also explored the complexity of audits and how Schellman works to simplify the process. Barbin described a “collect once, use many” approach that allows organizations—particularly MSPs—to streamline compliance across multiple frameworks such as SOC 2, HIPAA, CMMC, and federal requirements. By reducing redundancy and aligning audits to customer needs, MSPs can more efficiently expand into regulated verticals they otherwise could not serve. Barbin concluded by emphasizing the opportunity compliance creates for MSPs as they grow into more regulated markets. By helping MSPs inherit and validate customer controls, Schellman enables service providers to scale responsibly while turning compliance into a business advantage rather than a barrier.

In a podcast recorded at ITEXPO / MSP EXPO, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Julie Thiel, Founder of Thiel Talent Strategy, about the growing complexity of human resources, compliance, and people management for MSPs and technology-driven businesses. The conversation highlighted why HR has become a critical—yet often underestimated—risk area as service providers scale. Thiel pointed to employee classification as one of the most common and costly mistakes business owners make. “The one decision people keep getting wrong is employee status,” she explained, referring to missteps around contractor versus employee classification and exempt versus non-exempt roles. With employment laws varying widely across states and even municipalities, she noted that well-intentioned decisions can quietly create compliance exposure over time, especially for MSPs operating in multi-state or hybrid work environments. The discussion also covered additional HR pain points, including background checks, hiring practices, and increasingly complex time-off policies driven by local regulations. Thiel emphasized that many owners underestimate how quickly these issues compound as headcount grows. “You can't Google your way into good judgment when it comes to people,” she said, underscoring the limits of ad hoc approaches to HR in a fast-changing legal landscape. Thiel concluded by encouraging MSP owners to view HR as a strategic partnership rather than a necessary burden. By working with experienced advisors, MSPs can reduce risk, protect their teams, and free leadership to focus on growth. Her core message to MSPs at the event was clear: you don't have to carry the weight of people issues alone. Visit https://thieltalentstrategy.com/
In a podcast recorded at ITEXPO / MSP EXPO, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Steven Hess, Co-Founder and CEO of Deep Fathom, about the rising importance of compliance—particularly CMMC—and why it represents a significant opportunity for managed service providers. Hess explained that Deep Fathom is an AI-native compliance platform designed to help organizations not only achieve compliance, but maintain it over time. A central focus of the discussion was the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), the U.S. Department of Defense's enforcement framework for securing the defense industrial base. “CMMC is the regulatory enforcement layer the federal government put in place to secure the defense industrial base,” Hess said, emphasizing that without certification, suppliers can lose their ability to do business with the Department of Defense. A key takeaway for MSPs is that CMMC extends far beyond large defense primes. Hess noted that the defense ecosystem includes hundreds—sometimes thousands—of downstream suppliers, many of which may not even realize they are part of the defense supply chain. “You might actually have defense customers and not even know it,” he said, highlighting why MSPs are often the first call when compliance questions arise and why preparedness can unlock new, recurring revenue streams. Hess concluded by encouraging MSPs to approach compliance as a dedicated, strategic practice rather than an add-on service. By leveraging automation and AI-driven platforms, MSPs can scale compliance services without dramatically increasing headcount. “Compliance is not something you should just spin up on the side,” he cautioned, adding that the right tools and commitment can turn regulatory pressure into long-term growth.

This week, we discuss the Department of Labor's (DOL's) new compliance tools, its proposed pharmacy benefits manager (PBM) transparency regulation, and updated enforcement priorities from the DOL's Employee Benefits Security Administration. We also cover the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB's) revamped case intake process. DOL Releases Compliance Tools The DOL has introduced new resources—including interactive toolkits, industry-specific guidance, updated fact sheets, and self-audit checklists—to help employers avoid wage-and-hour violations. DOL Issues Proposed Regulation for PBMs The DOL has issued a proposed regulation, now open for comment, aimed at increasing transparency from PBMs. The proposal would mandate PBMs to disclose the full scope of fees, rebates, and compensation. Additionally, the DOL's Employee Benefits Security Administration has unveiled a significant overhaul of its enforcement priorities for 2026. NLRB Adjusts Intake Procedure Faced with a significant number of pending cases due to the government shutdown and staffing issues, the NLRB has instituted a new intake procedure for unfair labor practice charges. - Visit our site for this week's Other Highlights and links: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw421 Subscribe to #WorkforceWednesday: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw-subscribe Visit http://www.EmploymentLawThisWeek.com - Epstein Becker Green is a national law firm that focuses its resources on health care, life sciences, and workforce management solutions, coupled with powerful litigation strategies.

Seth Bradley explains why many common capital-raising practices in real estate are quietly illegal and increasingly risky as regulators, investors, and institutions pay closer attention. He breaks down why intent and deal quality do not matter if securities laws are violated, and why compensation tied to capital raised is the fastest way to cross the line. Seth walks through the three legally distinct roles in capital raising active participant, passive participant, and third party and shows how co-GP and finder models are frequently abused. He concludes by explaining why compliant fund-to-fund structures are rapidly becoming the preferred path for scalable, defensible capital aggregation.

When performing audits, the same macro statements keep appearing in progress notes: ambient AI scribing was used to create the documentation, and the note may contain errors. The pattern mirrors what happened when early talk‑to‑text tools rolled out. From a patient's perspective—especially someone with little or no understanding of ambient AI scribing—this raises real questions about whether they truly understood what was used during their visit and what they were consenting to. Terry breaks down this issue this week, drawing on an excellent article by Stephanie Allard, RHIT, to explore informed‑consent workflows, compliance expectations, and liability concerns surrounding Ambient AI Scribing.

GOING BALLISTIC Maryland House Judiciary Committee to Hear HB 874 Handgun Ban Bill The Maryland House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hear House Bill 874 on February 12, 2025, which seeks to ban the manufacture, sale, and possession of certain semiautomatic handguns classified as ‘assault pistols.' The bill targets specific models like the Beretta 92X Performance, CZ P-10C, Glock 19, Sig Sauer P320, and Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0, among others listed in proposed Criminal Law Article § 4-302. NRA-ILA urges opposition to the bill, viewing it as an infringement on Second Amendment rights. California AG Sues Gatalog Over 3D-Printed Gun CAD Files Distribution California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit against Gatalog LLC and its operator, Len Patterson, for allegedly distributing CAD files for 3D-printing unserialized firearms, violating state ghost gun laws. The suit claims Gatalog's website enabled the production of undetectable and untraceable guns by providing over 644 firearm designs. It seeks to halt the distribution and impose civil penalties under California's assault weapons and unsafe handgun laws. New Mexico House Bill 82: Democrats Advance Broadest Gun Ban in US New Mexico House Democrats are poised to pass House Bill 82 this week, which would ban dozens of semi-automatic firearms including AR-15s, AK-47s, and many handguns. The bill targets firearms with detachable magazines and specific features like pistol grips or folding stocks. It has advanced through committee and is scheduled for a House floor vote. Gun Owners of America Action Alert: Oppose S. 407 Anti-Gun Bill (February 3, 2026) Gun Owners of America urges members to contact Senators to oppose S. 407, a bill introduced by Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) that would ban commonly owned semi-automatic firearms, including AR-15s and similar rifles. The legislation targets firearms with pistol grips, folding stocks, and other standard features, classifying them as ‘assault weapons.' It also bans magazines over 10 rounds and imposes restrictions on private transfers. Ammoland Article: Committed Gun Grabbers Claim to Support the Second Amendment (February 2026) The article criticizes politicians and groups labeled as ‘gun grabbers' who publicly claim support for the Second Amendment while advocating restrictive gun control measures. It highlights inconsistencies in their rhetoric and actions, portraying them as undermining constitutional rights. Examples include statements from figures like Joe Biden and organizations such as Everytown for Gun Safety. DOJ Amicus Brief in Support of Challenge to Massachusetts Handgun Roster (Savage) The U.S. Department of Justice filed an amicus curiae brief in a federal lawsuit challenging Massachusetts' handgun roster law, arguing that the Attorney General's authority to ban handguns lacking arbitrary safety features violates the Second Amendment. The brief, submitted in the case Reese v. Department of Revenue, contends that the roster effectively prohibits most modern handguns by imposing subjective loaded chamber indicator and magazine disconnect requirements not justified by public safety data. It cites post-Bruen precedents to assert that Massachusetts' scheme fails constitutional scrutiny. Oregon Democrats Propose Two-Year Delay for Permit-to-Purchase Law (HB 2005) (Savage) Oregon Democrats are advancing a proposal to delay the implementation of the state's new permit-to-purchase handgun law, HB 2005, from its original August 2026 start date to August 2028. The delay addresses concerns over the Oregon State Police's readiness to process the required background checks and issue permits. This comes amid ongoing legal challenges to the law, which mandates a safety course, background check, and references for handgun purchases. New Mexico House Bill 129 – Proposed Broadest Gun Ban in US (Savage) New Mexico Democrats are advancing House Bill 129, which would ban a wide array of semi-automatic firearms including AR-15s, AK-47s, and many handguns.
Most practices track numbers, but very few track the metrics that actually drive growth. Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen break down the ten measurements that determine whether a practice is building momentum or quietly leaking it. This conversation reframes metrics away from surface-level activity and into leadership tools that reveal retention, stability, and profitability. By clearly separating practice metrics from business metrics, the framework shows how operational performance and financial outcomes are directly connected. The result is clarity and control. When the right metrics are measured consistently, decisions become simpler, leadership becomes stronger, and growth becomes predictable.In This Episode You Will:Understand the10 core metrics that determine retention and long-term growthLearn how practice-side metrics and business-side metrics work togetherSee why retention begins at conversion and compounds through complianceDiscover which numbers reveal truth versus vanityClarify how better measurement leads to better leadership decisionsEpisode Highlights06:34 - Dr. Pete frames the series around the two sides of the coin and why commitment is the center that makes both work08:30 - Dr. Stephen clarifies the three identities required to grow: doctor, operator, and business owner14:26 - The conversation defines KPIs as the measurement system that organizes focus and exposes what to fixPractice Metrics19:14 - Stick rate defines how long people stay under care and where retention breaks down by visits, months, or milestones22:32 - Kept visit average (KVA) is introduced as the daily retention signal showing how consistently people show up as scheduled25:24 - Compliance percentage is established as the core retention driver indicating whether patients follow care recommendations26:37 - Inactives and churn rate expose how many people are silently leaving and why defining “active” matters31:30 - Total active patients reframes growth away from visits per week and toward the size of the active care baseBusiness Metrics33:29 - Collection visit average (CVA) measures what the practice collects per visit and can be segmented by stage of care35:06 - Lifetime value (LTV) connects retention to economics by combining patient visit average with collection visit average39:49 - Total revenue is tied back to retention through volume of visits driven by people staying in care40:29 - Monthly recurring revenue (MRR) and annual recurring revenue (ARR) are positioned as the stability engine of the model41:51 - Retained revenue measures the durability of the recurring model by showing how much revenue stays after churn Resources MentionedLearn more about the TRP Remarkable Business Immersion March 6 - 7, 2026 in Phoenix, AZ and March 20 - 21, 2026 in Brisbane, AUS - https://theremarkablepractice.com/upcoming-events/ To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit: http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceoBook a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPCPrefer to watch?

In this episode of Resilient Cyber, I sit down with VP, Product Marketing and Strategy for Protegrity, James Rice. We will be discussing how traditional approaches to security aren't solving the AI security challenge, the importance of data-centric approaches for secure AI implementation and addressing issues such as AI data leakage.James and I dove into a lot of great topics, including:Why traditional perimeter-based and infrastructure-centric security models are failing in the era of AI, and why organizations need to fundamentally rethink their approach to securing AI workloads.The concept of data-centric security — protecting the data itself rather than the systems surrounding it — and why this shift is critical as data flows across cloud platforms, AI models, and agentic workflows.The growing risk of AI data leakage and how sensitive information (PII, PHI, PCI, intellectual property) can inadvertently be exposed through AI training data, model outputs, prompt injection, and RAG pipelines.Why many organizations find themselves stuck in an "AI circularity" — wanting to leverage AI but unable to do so because of the complexity of securing critical business data throughout the AI lifecycle.The importance of embedding security controls inline within the AI pipeline — from data ingestion and model training to orchestration and output — rather than bolting security on after the fact.How data protection techniques such as tokenization, anonymization, dynamic masking, and format-preserving encryption can enable organizations to use realistic, context-rich data for AI while maintaining compliance and reducing risk.The challenge of securing agentic AI workflows, where autonomous agents continuously interact with enterprise data, making traditional access control models insufficient.How organizations can balance the need for AI innovation and data utility with regulatory compliance requirements across frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and emerging AI-specific regulations.James's perspective on how security, risk, and compliance functions need to evolve to keep pace with the rapid productionization of AI across the enterprise.The role of semantic guardrails in governing AI inputs and outputs, ensuring that protection is applied contextually based on how data is being used — not just where it resides.About the GuestJames Rice is VP of Product Marketing and Strategy at Protegrity, a global leader in data-centric security. He brings over 20 years of experience in security, risk, and compliance, having provided solution engineering, value engineering, and implementation services to Fortune 1000 organizations across industries.

Trade & Tech Series – Episode 4 Hosts: Renee Chiuchiarelli & Julie Parks Hammer and Heels Length: ~12 minutes Format: Simply Trade Tips (Trade & Tech series) Episode Summary In this episode of Simply Trade Tips, Renee Chiuchiarelli and Julie Parks dive into the evolving role of audit automation in global trade compliance — and why traditional, reactive auditing models are no longer enough. With increased enforcement focus from U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Justice, companies can no longer rely on trust-based assertions or post-liquidation corrections. Instead, trade compliance is shifting from passive, after-the-fact reviews to active, continuous validation powered by technology and AI. Renee and Julie break down how automated audit controls can help companies defend tariff positions, validate origin and classification claims, and identify risk before it becomes an enforcement issue — all while freeing human auditors to focus on higher-value analysis. Key Topics Covered Why audit programs are now a regulatory expectation, not a “nice to have” DOJ and CBP enforcement priorities impacting import compliance The limits of traditional sample-based audits and post-liquidation fixes What audit automation really means in trade compliance Using technology to continuously validate: Classification Valuation Country of origin FTA eligibility Trade remedy exposure How ERP data changes can impact compliance in real time The importance of defensibility over perfection Why AI doesn't replace judgment — it enhances it Data readiness: understanding what data you actually have before deploying AI tools Key Takeaways Compliance today is about proof, not assertions Regulators don't expect zero errors — they expect reasonable, documented controls Audit automation helps identify risk before entry finalization or liquidation Technology enables trade teams to review more data with fewer resources Human auditors are still critical — automation removes low-value tasks so they can focus on what matters most Defensible audit programs protect both the company and leadership This Episode's FIO (Figure It Out) Pause and kick the tires on audit automation. Identify one provider or tool Understand what comparisons they can run using your existing data Evaluate what low-hanging fruit automation can remove from your auditors' workload Use technology to enhance — not replace — human expertise Even testing one tool can reshape how you think about audit readiness and defensibility. Join the Conversation How are you auditing your trade data today? Are you still relying on samples and spreadsheets — or moving toward continuous validation? Join the discussion in the Trade Geeks Community and let us know how you're approaching audit automation. Credits Hosts: Renée Chiuchiarelli Julie Parks Producer: Lalo Solorzano

This is another solo episode recorded while I'm away from the live show. No Saturday night Sports Cards Live this week. No panel. No chat. Just me, the microphone, and a collecting idea that's been on my mind for a long time. In this episode, I step back and talk about how I think about value, meaning, and enjoyment in the hobby, and how those ideas have changed for me over the years. It's a personal reflection on collecting philosophy, not a rulebook, and not an attempt to tell anyone else how they should collect. This conversation touches on how collectors respond to scarcity, checklists, pricing, and external signals, and why different approaches resonate with different people. It's less about specific cards and more about how we decide what deserves a place in our collection in the first place. If you've ever felt torn between what the hobby tells you is important and what you actually enjoy owning, this episode is for you. If you have thoughts on this topic or want to share how you approach collecting, you can email me at sportscardsliveshow@gmail.com. I read those messages and appreciate thoughtful disagreement. If you haven't yet, visit hobbyspectrum.com to take the Hobby Spectrum assessment and explore how collectors approach the hobby in very different ways. Depending on when you're listening, early access may already be open. As always, thank you to all the sponsors and partners of Sports Cards Live, and thank you for listening. I'll have more solo episodes coming while I'm away, and then we'll be back to the live format soon. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
