The second Trump administration has outpaced the first one in terms of executive orders signed by the president, but this current tenure has put more focus on government contracting than before. Stephanie Kostro, president of the Professional Services Council, starts out this episode with Nick and Ross by providing historical context to that statement. Then the discussion turns to President Trump's newest executive orders that focus on fixed-price contracts and artificial intelligence. Neither of those topics are new to the GovCon ecosystem, but executive orders bring them to the forefront like few other actions can. Kostro explains what contractors are looking to understand from those orders and how they likely will affect work with their customers. Also on the agenda: the Federal Acquisition Regulation overhaul, small businesses in today's landscape and the Fiscal Year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act.

Few physicians ever experience healthcare from the perspective of a health plan, but Jacob Asher, MD, is an exception. A former ENT surgeon with Kaiser Permanente, Asher shifted gears in 2008 to pursue a career in commercial health plan management. Over the next 14 years, he served as California Commercial Market Medical Director for Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare. Today, he shares his expertise by mentoring students in Stanford University's Master's Program in Medical Informatics. In this conversation with host Michael Sacopulos, Asher pulls back the curtain on commercial insurance — from how contracts are structured, to who holds pricing power, why behavioral health has been siloed, and what AI might finally be able to fix in a system long defined by friction and misaligned incentives. Asher also shares how serving on Kaiser Permanente's Medical Group Board of Directors helped prompt his move from surgery into health plan leadership. He also discusses the role of AAPL (then ACPE) in preparing physicians for non-clinical career paths. Learn more about the American Association for Physician Leadership at www.physicianleaders.org.
Many Australian businesses are allegedly registering employees as contractors to avoid paying legally required benefits, including superannuation, leave entitlements and insurance. Members of the Punjabi community have also been caught up in this illegal practice, known as ‘sham contracting'. A major new national report has found that young and newly arrived migrants, often unaware of the legal and financial differences between a TFN and an ABN, are among the most vulnerable. The ATO and Fair Work Ombudsman are now stepping up enforcement and warning employers of tougher penalties. - ਤਾਜ਼ਾ ਖੋਜ ਅਤੇ ਸਰਕਾਰੀ ਜਾਂਚਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਾਹਮਣੇ ਆਇਆ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ ਵਿੱਚ ‘ਸ਼ੈਮ ਕੰਟਰੈਕਟਿੰਗ' ਦੇ ਮਾਮਲੇ ਤੇਜ਼ੀ ਨਾਲ ਵੱਧ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ, ਜਿੱਥੇ ਕਈ ਕਾਰੋਬਾਰ ਕਰਮਚਾਰੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਗਲਤ ਤਰੀਕੇ ਨਾਲ ਠੇਕੇਦਾਰ ਵਜੋਂ ਦਰਜ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ। ਰਿਪੋਰਟਾਂ ਮੁਤਾਬਕ ਨੌਜਵਾਨ ਅਤੇ ਨਵੇਂ ਆਏ ਪਰਵਾਸੀ, ਖਾਸ ਕਰਕੇ ਉਹ ਜੋ TFN ਅਤੇ ABN ਦੇ ਕਾਨੂੰਨੀ ਅੰਤਰਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਅਣਜਾਣ ਹਨ, ਇਸ ਸ਼ੋਸ਼ਣ ਦਾ ਵੱਧ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨਾ ਬਣ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ। ATO ਅਤੇ ਫੇਅਰ ਵਰਕ ਨੇ ਚੇਤਾਵਨੀ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਅਜਿਹੇ ਗੈਰ ਕਾਨੂੰਨੀ ਅਭਿਆਸਾਂ ਖ਼ਿਲਾਫ਼ ਕਾਰਵਾਈ ਹੋਰ ਸਖ਼ਤ ਕੀਤੀ ਜਾਵੇਗੀ।

In this episode of The Contracting Experience, host Rob Lorton speaks with Brittany Burton, Chief of Contracting, and Amanda Smith, Deputy Division Chief, from the Air Force Security Assistance and Cooperation Directorate (AFSAC). They provide an inside look into the complex world of Foreign Military Sales (FMS). Brittany and Amanda explain AFSAC's mission to deliver air, space, and cyberspace capabilities to 96 partner nations. They describe how AFSAC acts as the Air Force's hub for FMS, managing a $210 billion portfolio and turning requirements over to the appropriate program offices for execution. The conversation highlights the "Total Package Approach," where the U.S. provides not just the military hardware but also the training, sustainment, and infrastructure required for long-term success. The guests also share how unique contracts for parts and repairs help build strong international partnerships and offer advice for contracting professionals interested in the rewarding and challenging world of FMS. They emphasize that while they use the same trusted FAR-based processes, the work involves unique daily interactions and problem-solving.

In this episode of the Sargent: On Track Podcast, President & CEO Eric Ritchie is joined by Vice President of Finance and CFO Tasha Gardner in the Flywheel Studio to kick off a new series answering questions submitted during the all-employee meetings. Tasha breaks down vesting and what it means to be a true employee-owner, walks through how shares get allocated between hourly and salaried employees, and explains how internship years factor into vesting. The conversation also digs into retirement planning, tax implications of the ESOP and 401k, and the difference between Roth and traditional contributions at different stages of a career.

Schedule a Meeting with Joshua TODAY!Are you still relying on spring rush marketing and wondering why your pipeline dries up the rest of the year? Many outdoor living pros, hardscapers, and landscapers treat marketing like a switch they turn on only when they need work. The result is inconsistent leads, low trust from clients, and missed opportunities to book premium projects year round.
