The future of market access belongs to organizations that plan years in advance. In this episode, Steve Mather, Global Practice Lead of Strategy and Insight at Lumanity, explains why pharmaceutical companies must prepare now for major market access changes coming in Europe and beyond. He highlights that Joint Clinical Assessments for rare disease assets, beginning in 2028, will require earlier planning, stronger governance, and more integrated evidence-generation strategies. Steve also discusses the complexity created by varying country-specific care pathways, limited comparators, and the growing importance of real-world evidence in rare disease development. Across policy shifts like JCA, IRA, MFN, and new European pharmaceutical legislation, the central message is clear: organizations that anticipate earlier will be better positioned to succeed. Tune in to hear how the future of rare disease market access is being reshaped, and why companies that prepare earlier will have a major strategic advantage!

In this episode of TECHtonic, host Thomas Lah, EVP and Executive Director of TSIA, sits down with Agam Vasani, former SVP of Customer Experience at LeanData, to explore what it actually takes to build an AI-driven post-sale organization. Agam shares how his team was drowning in over 40 fragmented customer health signals, leaving CSMs spending more time assembling data than acting on it. He then reveals how they used AI to consolidate those signals into a single, coherent view that reps could actually use.He also breaks down the SIGNAL framework, a six-part filter he developed to cut through a crowded AI vendor market and evaluate tools on source of truth, intelligence quality, go-to action, workflow fit, team-wide adoption, and continuous learning.Discover how peer-driven "AI jams" drove grassroots adoption where top-down mandates failed, and why most AI tools fall short because they're sold like SaaS when AI behaves nothing like it. Don't miss this candid conversation on what separates AI deployments that move the needle from ones that just add another tool to the stack.

Cam Darlington is Global Strategy Expert at Mitrade, the Australian-founded CFD trading platform regulated by ASIC in Australia and CySEC in Europe, offering forex, commodities, indices, shares, and crypto from a single account. A Nova Scotia native based in Hong Kong for the past eight years, Cam brings a dual perspective: a traditional finance background working with brokers expanding across Asia, and recent experience as co-founder and COO of easy.fun, a social trading app built on Solana and Hyperliquid. Why you should listen Cam has a name for the phenomenon most people inside traditional brokerages never see from the trenches: the convergence. TradFi and crypto are collapsing into a single market structure, and the pivot point, he argues, is Washington. With the CLARITY Act working through the Senate and President Trump signing the Integrating Financial Technology Innovation into Regulatory Frameworks executive order in May, digital asset brokers are being ushered toward the core plumbing of the US financial system, including direct access to Federal Reserve payment rails. Add growing regulatory comfort with tokenized stocks trading at parity with their underlying assets, and the discount problem that dogged early real-world-asset experiments like Robinhood's tokenized equities starts to disappear. Tokenized RWAs, Cam says, just became viable. The second-order effects are reshaping market infrastructure itself. When a broker like Robinhood can mint tokenized stocks on its own proprietary chain and handle execution and settlement in-house, it stops feeding liquidity to the public exchanges. Cam frames the exchange's recent moves, including its tokenization partnership with Kraken built on the xStocks framework, as a defensive response to exactly this threat. He speaks from experience here: his team at easy.fun integrated the xStocks API and saw firsthand how thin liquidity gets once you trade beyond Nvidia, Apple, and Tesla. Cam says players most at risk are the centralized crypto exchanges, squeezed between newly crypto-enabled traditional brokerages on one side and purpose-built DeFi venues like Hyperliquid on the other. For traders, Cam's message is about survival. The first year determines whether someone becomes a trader or a statistic, and he is scathing about platforms offering 1,000x leverage to beginners, which he likens to handing a brand-new driver a Ferrari and pointing at the motorway. He makes the case for starting on a regulated platform with guardrails, modest leverage, built-in TradingView charting, and daily strategy feeds, which is precisely the gap Mitrade aims to fill as a companion to a traditional brokerage account.

Life has brought me countless blessings, and at the forefront of these blessings is the immeasurable debt of thanks I owe to my late parents, Charles and Ira Gittens. They bestowed upon me their wisdom and creative spirit, which have been a consistent source of inspiration throughout my life. Their counsel and encouragement continue to resonate within me, shaping my path and purpose. To my beloved wife, Magnola Gittens, your unwavering support has been my anchor in turbulent seas. Your love and understanding provide the strength necessary to navigate life's complexities. I am eternally grateful for your presence, which comforts and uplifts me. To my brothers—Shurland, Charles, Ricardo, and my late brothers Arnott and Stephen—as well as my sisters, Emerald, Marcella, and Cheryl, thank you for being my steadfast companions along this journey. Each of you has contributed uniquely to my narrative, reminding me of the importance of family ties in shaping who I am today. I extend my heartfelt appreciation to my cousins: Joy Mayers, Kevin and Ernest Mayers, Donna Archer, Avis Dyer, and Jackie Clarke. Your love and camaraderie have enriched my life beyond measure. To my uncles, Clifford, Leonard Mayers, David Bruce, and Collin Rock, your support has been invaluable, strengthening the bonds of our family. To my children, Laron and Lisa, grandson Elijah you are my pride and joy, the motivation behind my work, fuelling my desire to create and inspire.Moreover, I am equally grateful to all who have believed in me and wanted nothing but the best for my growth. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Platizky, Mr. Matthew Sutton, Mr. Juan Arroyo, Mr. and Mrs. David Lavine, and many others have played pivotal roles in my development, encouraging me to pursue my passions relentlessly. During my time at New Jersey City University (NJCU), I had the privilege of receiving guidance from exceptional mentors, including the late Dr. Joseph Drew, Merline Mayers, Mrs. Ellen Gordon, Dr. Nicholas Gordon, Rev. Dr. Scofield Eversley BSS, and many others. Conversations about enhancing my writing skills after graduating were integral to my growth, providing the foundation for my future endeavours. Over the past three decades, my experiences in the leisure activities industry have significantly shaped my journey. From 1995 to 2026, I have devoted myself to writing, resulting in 471 E-Publications and 298 podcasts that resonate within the community. In recognition of the profound impact Dr. Joseph Drew had on my academic and personal development, I dedicated my 66th publication, "A Tribute to Culture" Vol. 1, to him—a small token of gratitude for his enormous influence on my life.As I look forward to what lies ahead, I remain thankful to all who have contributed to my story and to the Creator for the endless possibilities this journey holds.

Transcript:Ca: A la part antiga de Barcelona, entre carrerons plens d'història, hi havia una cafeteria encantadora anomenada "El Racó de l'Artista".En: In the old part of Barcelona, among alleyways full of history, there was a charming café called "El Racó de l'Artista".Ca: Les rajoles modernes i l'olor de cafè acabat de fer omplien l'ambient d'un caliu acollidor.En: The modern tiles and the smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the atmosphere with a cozy warmth.Ca: Aquesta tarda de primavera, en Jordi, la Núria i en Martí es van reunir allà per discutir el seu projecte universitari.En: This spring afternoon, Jordi, Núria, and Martí met there to discuss their university project.Ca: En Jordi, amb la motxilla plena de llibres i papers, va arribar primer.En: Jordi, with his backpack full of books and papers, was the first to arrive.Ca: Necessitava que el projecte sortís bé.En: He needed the project to turn out well.Ca: Era la seva oportunitat d'aconseguir una beca i continuar llicenciatura.En: It was his chance to earn a scholarship and continue his degree.Ca: Va triar una taula vora la finestra, des d'on es veien les flors del balcó del davant.En: He chose a table by the window, from where he could see the flowers on the balcony opposite.Ca: Va arribar la Núria amb un món sencer al cap.En: Núria arrived with a whole world in her head.Ca: Els seus cabells es movien al ritme del vent i portava una llibreta plena de dibuixos.En: Her hair moved with the rhythm of the wind, and she carried a notebook full of drawings.Ca: Tot i que amb molta creativitat, a vegades es perdia entre les seves idees.En: Despite her creativity, she sometimes got lost in her ideas.Ca: I finalment, en Martí, amb el seu dossier impecable, es va asseure.En: Finally, Martí, with his impeccable folder, sat down.Ca: Sistemàtic i estricte, ell sempre tenia un pla metòdic per fer qualsevol cosa.En: Systematic and strict, he always had a methodical plan for doing anything.Ca: Van començar la reunió.En: The meeting began.Ca: En Jordi estava esperançat.En: Jordi was hopeful.Ca: Però no va passar gaire temps abans que Núria i Martí comencessin a discrepar.En: But it didn't take long before Núria and Martí began to disagree.Ca: Núria volia incorporar elements artístics, mentre Martí insistia en seguir el pla inicial al peu de la lletra.En: Núria wanted to incorporate artistic elements, while Martí insisted on strictly following the initial plan.Ca: Les discussions pujaven de to, i la tensió omplia l'espai.En: The discussions grew more heated, and tension filled the space.Ca: Veient aquesta situació tan complexa, en Jordi va decidir intervenir.En: Seeing this complex situation, Jordi decided to intervene.Ca: Va aixecar la veu, no de manera agressiva, sinó per guanyar atenció.En: He raised his voice, not aggressively, but to gain attention.Ca: "Escolteu-me, si us plau", va dir amb fermesa.En: "Listen to me, please," he said firmly.Ca: "El que importa és que aconseguim un bon resultat.En: "What matters is that we achieve a good result.Ca: I per això necessitem tant la creativitat com l'organització.En: And for that, we need both creativity and organization.Ca: Crec que podem trobar un terme mig.En: I think we can find a middle ground."Ca: "El seu to decidit va desarmar la discòrdia.En: His determined tone disarmed the discord.Ca: En Martí i la Núria es van mirar.En: Martí and Núria looked at each other.Ca: Potser, només potser, en Jordi tenia raó.En: Maybe, just maybe, Jordi was right.Ca: Després de reflexionar, van proposar barregen les seves idees: estructurar el projecte però deixar espai per la creativitat que Núria desitjava.En: After reflecting, they suggested mixing their ideas: structuring the project but leaving room for the creativity Núria desired.Ca: El cafè ple de gent, llibres a les prestatgeries i plantes a les finestres van ser testimonis de l'entesa del grup.En: The café, full of people, books on the shelves, and plants in the windows, witnessed the group's understanding.Ca: Van establir un pla nou, on cadascú podia aportar el millor de sí mateix d'una manera equilibrada.En: They established a new plan, where each could contribute the best of themselves in a balanced way.Ca: Així doncs, en Jordi va veure no només com avançava el projecte, sinó com creixia ell mateix.En: Thus, Jordi saw not only the project move forward but also his own growth.Ca: Va trobar la veu per liderar i mediar.En: He found the voice to lead and mediate.Ca: Va aprendre que, més enllà de les notes, el treball en equip i l'equilibri eren claus per l'èxit.En: He learned that beyond grades, teamwork and balance were keys to success.Ca: En aquell racó de Barcelona, sota el sol de primavera, el futur va semblar prometedor.En: In that

What helps you stay grounded when life gets difficult? In this episode of Perspectives, Rev. Drs. Hannah and Brittany of First United Methodist Church of San Diego explore Luke 6:43-49 and Jesus' powerful images of trees, fruit, and firm foundations. Together, they discuss how faith is formed long before life's storms arrive—and why spiritual growth is less about avoiding hardship and more about developing the resilience to face it. The female pastors ultimately ask: What if discipleship isn't a "cost" to be paid, but a spiritual gym where we build the strength, courage, wisdom, and grounding needed to weather life's challenges? This progressive Christian conversation explores: Building faith for difficult times Faith as formation rather than achievement Why Jesus promises storms, not storm-free lives The connection between our inner life and outward actions Spiritual growth as a lifelong practice, not a one-time event Move from control to trust, certainty to surrender Discipleship being a rooting, grounding, and deepening rather than a “cost to be paid” Reflection Questions: What habits or influences are shaping the condition of my heart? Are there areas where my actions do not match my values or beliefs? What practices help me stay grounded when life becomes difficult?

Chapter One of Stewart Russell's The Mystery Call © 2026 .mp3Chapter One of Stewart Russell's The Mystery Call © 2026: An Interdisciplinary Analysis through Writing, Podcasting, Publishing, Photojournalism, Cinematography, Media Arts, Cultural Theory, and Divinity”Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D. ISBN 978-976-97942-9-0 AbstractThis literature review examines Chapter One of Stewart Russell's The Mystery Call (2026) through an interdisciplinary framework encompassing literary criticism, narrative journalism, podcast storytelling, publishing studies, photojournalism, cinematography, media arts, cultural theory, and theological reflection. The chapter introduces Carson Marshall and his companions as they prepare for a summer expedition to Idyllic Gardens, a location simultaneously characterized by natural beauty and hidden danger. Through close textual analysis, this review explores the chapter's narrative architecture, characterization, environmental symbolism, dialogic realism, and moral undertones. The study argues that Russell effectively combines elements of the coming-of-age adventure novel, detective fiction, and moral allegory while employing techniques that resonate with contemporary multimedia storytelling traditions. The chapter establishes suspense through foreshadowing, particularly with the mysterious telephone warning that concludes the narrative, thereby creating a compelling foundation for subsequent developments.All things considered, it should be noted that educator Stewart Russell, in his novel, employed his linguistic expertise to engage with and manipulate a range of theoretical constructs, including adventure fiction, young adult literature, narrative theory, media studies, cultural analysis, theology, and literary criticism.Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D.

I extend my heartfelt appreciation to my cousins: Joy Mayers, Kevin and Ernest Mayers, Donna Archer, Avis Dyer, and Jackie Clarke. Your love and camaraderie have enriched my life beyond measure. To my uncles, Clifford, Leonard Mayers, David Bruce, and Collin Rock, your support has been invaluable, strengthening the bonds of our family. To my children, Laron and Lisa, grandson Elijah you are my pride and joy, the motivation behind my work, fuelling my desire to create and inspire.Moreover, I am equally grateful to all who have believed in me and wanted nothing but the best for my growth. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Platizky, Mr. Matthew Sutton, Mr. Juan Arroyo, Mr. and Mrs. David Lavine, and many others have played pivotal roles in my development, encouraging me to pursue my passions relentlessly. During my time at New Jersey City University (NJCU), I had the privilege of receiving guidance from exceptional mentors, including the late Dr. Joseph Drew, Merline Mayers, Mrs. Ellen Gordon, Dr. Nicholas Gordon, Rev. Dr. Scofield Eversley BSS, and many others. Conversations about enhancing my writing skills after graduating were integral to my growth, providing the foundation for my future endeavours. Over the past three decades, my experiences in the leisure activities industry have significantly shaped my journey. From 1995 to 2026, I have devoted myself to writing, resulting in 470 E-Publications and 297 podcasts that resonate within the community. In recognition of the profound impact Dr. Joseph Drew had on my academic and personal development, I dedicated my 66th publication, "A Tribute to Culture" Vol. 1, to him—a small token of gratitude for his enormous influence on my life.As I look forward to what lies ahead, I remain thankful to all who have contributed to my story and to the Creator for the endless possibilities this journey holds. Each person's presence has left an indelible mark on my life, guiding me toward a future filled with hope and potential.Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D.ReferencesBarthes, R.

This week we take a trip to Asgard to catch up with the God of Thunder and his second outing in Phase 2 of the MCU with Thor: The Dark World. Journey with us as we discuss this important film in the Infinity Saga story that introduces us to another Infinity Stone and returns an old villain to a more anti-hero state, albeit while the film juggles some interesting story choices and behind the scenes director shuffling. Is this still the weakest of the Thor films or is it vastly better than we remember? So pour some rye, grab Mjolnir off the coat rack, and get ready to stop the Convergence. Cheers!
What makes music sacred? Who gets to be heard in worship? And where do we draw the line between “sacred” and “secular” music? In this special worship-focused episode of Perspectives, Rev. Dr. Hannah Ka sits down with Sarah Amos, Director of Music Ministries and Principal Organist at First United Methodist Church of San Diego, for a thoughtful conversation inspired by Psalm 150. Together, they explore: Why Psalm 150 gives no blueprint for “correct” worship The history of congregational singing and hymns How churches have institutionalized worship music The blurry line between sacred and secular music Why accessibility and participation matter in worship How music can reach people when words alone cannot From pipe organs and Taizé songs to Methodist hymn traditions and modern worship styles, this episode invites listeners to think more deeply about music as communal expression, spiritual formation, and embodied praise. Whether you come from a traditional church background, contemporary worship culture, or simply love music and spirituality, this conversation offers meaningful insight into the role music plays in connecting us to God and to one another. Join the Conversation We invite you to consider the below reflection questions and share your thoughts with our podcast community. We offer our in-person Convergence discussion group on Sundays at 12 PM and 24/7 connection online at Patreon. Reflection Questions: What makes music sacred to you?

A CONVERGENCE between the pagan world of gods and magic and the high-tech world of artificial intelligence is creating a strange Venn diagram wherein the lines between silicon and spirit are getting blurry. We discuss the use of AI by people seeking spiritual enlightenment and the development of a digital futurist that appeared at this year's South by Southwest event, Delph.ai—a reference to the oracle of Delphi, the most famous of the women in the ancient world who ostensibly passed along messages from the god Apollo. These oracles were so important that they were sought even by the emperors of Rome until they fell silent in the third century AD because of the influence of Christians (as we documented in our book Giants, Gods & Dragons). We also talked about the growing impact of Muslim migration on the United Kingdom, where its second largest city, Birmingham, just elected a Pakistani mayor who barely speaks English and prefers to communicate in Urdu. Also: The growing Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda now has 750 suspected cases and 177 suspected deaths. Sharon's niece, Sarah Sachleben, is fighting stage 4 bowel cancer, and the medical bills are piling up. If you are led to help, please go to GilbertHouse.org/hopeforsarah. Follow us!

The rapid expansion of AI-driven data centers is putting unprecedented pressure on energy supply, emissions and water availability. At the start of 2026, S&P Global named AI and data center growth as a top sustainability trend to watch, and it was a dominant theme at both Climate Week Zurich and CERAWeek 2026 in Houston, where the conference title was "Convergence and Competition." In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we explore how the tech and energy industries are converging to meet the growing power demands of AI while also protecting the planet and local communities. In three interviews from the sidelines of CERAWeek, we ask how companies can deliver reliable energy to power AI without sidelining affordability, emissions, water and community concerns. Arshad Mansoor, President and CEO of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), explains how the research organization is convening stakeholders across the energy ecosystem to meet growing energy demand. "Without convergence, without the stakeholders coming together to solve critical policy issues, technical issues, regulatory hurdles, we will not be able to bring speed to power," Arshad says. We talk to Alexis Bateman, Head of Sustainability at Amazon Web Services (AWS), the cloud-computing and technology services subsidiary of Amazon. She discusses why one of the world's largest hyperscalers takes a "multipronged" approach to powering AI infrastructure that balances grid reliability and sustainability. "We have to play both sides of the coin," Alexis says. "We have customers that are reliant on our cloud services every single day, and so we have to be a reliable partner for them. At the same time, our first choice will always be carbon-free energy and making sure that we have a steady supply." And we sit down with Lydia Krefta, Senior Director of Electrification and Decarbonization at one of the largest US utilities, Pacific Gas and Electric Company. PG&E operates in the heart of Silicon Valley, and Lydia explains how the utility is managing the build-out needed for both electrification and data centers. Lydia also highlights a less-discussed bottleneck in the AI build-out: human capital. Even where capital and technology exist, utilities still need enough skilled workers to plan, permit and construct the infrastructure required to meet surging demand.

Two prophetic words are converging powerfully right now — and together they reveal a huge opportunity God is presenting to believers just like you.In this prophetic teaching, Robert Hotchkin shares how God is restoring righteousness, renewing bold faith, and calling His people to build with Him in this critical hour.Through the example of Noah and the convergence of multiple prophetic themes, you will discover how the Lord is revealing a strategy for protection, positioning, Kingdom purpose, and partnership with Him right now.In this episode:
From Rock Star to Prosecutor: Gregg Owen on Law, Music, & Tech Criminal Attorney, Rock Musician, Tech Entrepreneur, Author I'm a former Chicago murder prosecutor who took a very unusual path to the courtroom.Before law school, I was a touring rock musician who performed across the Midwest and opened shows for bands like The Doors. But a personal turning point led me to leave music, cut my hair, and apply for an internship with the Cook County State's Attorney's Office.Within a few years I was prosecuting murder cases in Chicago's 26th and California courthouse, eventually trying more than sixty jury trials — most of them homicides.My book Convergence tells the true story of a brutal double murder that was solved in days but didn't go to trial for four years. The case unfolded in the middle of a courthouse culture so corrupt it would later trigger the FBI's historic Operation Greylord investigation.Today I share the behind-the-scenes realities of homicide trials, courtroom corruption, and the strange path that took me from rock stages to murder prosecutions.Links:https://26thstreetbooks.com/convergencehttps://www.instagram.com/greggowen26thTagspodcast for creatives,creative podcast,podcast creator interviews,professional podcast,creative podcasts,podcast host interviews,creative podcast ideas,Author,CHICAGO PROSECUTOR,COMPELLING LIFE STORY LINE,CORRUPTION IN CHICAGO COURTS,Crime,FORMER ROCK STAR,HOLLYWOOD LEVEL STORY,OPERATION GREYLORD HOOK,True CrimeSupport PEG by checking out our Sponsors:Download and use Newsly for free now from www.newsly.me or from the link in the description, and use promo code “GHOST” and receive a 1-month free premium subscription.The best tool for getting podcast guests:https://podmatch.com/signup/phantomelectricghostSubscribe to our Instagram for exclusive content:https://www.instagram.com/expansive_sound_experiments/Subscribe to our YouTube https://youtube.com/@phantomelectricghost?si=rEyT56WQvDsAoRprRSShttps://anchor.fm/s/3b31908/podcast/rssSubstackhttps://substack.com/@phantomelectricghost?utm_source=edit-profile-page

Pourquoi les dauphins ressemblent-ils autant aux requins alors qu'ils n'ont aucun lien proche de parenté ? Pourquoi les ailes des chauves-souris ressemblent-elles à celles des oiseaux alors que les unes sont des mammifères et les autres des descendants de dinosaures ? Ces ressemblances étonnantes s'expliquent par un phénomène fascinant : la convergence évolutive.La convergence évolutive désigne le fait que des espèces très éloignées peuvent développer indépendamment des caractéristiques similaires, simplement parce qu'elles sont confrontées aux mêmes problèmes dans leur environnement.Autrement dit : parfois, l'évolution “trouve” plusieurs fois les mêmes solutions.Prenons l'exemple des requins et des dauphins. Les requins sont des poissons apparus il y a plus de 400 millions d'années. Les dauphins, eux, sont des mammifères dont les ancêtres vivaient autrefois sur terre avant de retourner dans les océans. Pourtant, les deux ont fini par adopter un corps fuselé très proche, idéal pour nager rapidement. Ce n'est pas parce qu'ils descendent d'un ancêtre commun ressemblant à cela, mais parce que les lois de la physique imposent certaines formes efficaces dans l'eau.Même chose pour les ailes. Les oiseaux, les chauves-souris et même les ptérosaures — des reptiles volants aujourd'hui disparus — ont tous développé la capacité de voler séparément au cours de l'évolution. Leurs ailes remplissent la même fonction, mais leur structure osseuse reste différente.La convergence évolutive montre donc quelque chose de fondamental : l'évolution n'est pas totalement aléatoire. Les contraintes physiques, chimiques ou environnementales orientent souvent les êtres vivants vers des solutions comparables.Et ce phénomène est partout dans la nature.Les yeux, par exemple, sont apparus indépendamment plusieurs fois au cours de l'histoire du vivant. Les pieuvres possèdent des yeux étonnamment proches des nôtres, alors que leurs ancêtres ont divergé des vertébrés il y a plus de 500 millions d'années.Certaines plantes de déserts situés sur différents continents ont aussi développé des formes très similaires : tiges épaisses pour stocker l'eau, épines pour limiter l'évaporation… alors qu'elles n'appartiennent pas aux mêmes familles biologiques.La convergence évolutive fascine aussi les scientifiques parce qu'elle permet parfois de prédire certaines adaptations possibles. Si des conditions semblables apparaissent, certaines solutions biologiques ont plus de chances d'émerger.Et cette idée soulève une question vertigineuse : si la vie existait ailleurs dans l'univers, évoluerait-elle vers des formes comparables à celles que nous connaissons sur Terre ?Finalement, la convergence évolutive nous rappelle que la nature n'invente pas toujours des solutions infiniment différentes. Face aux mêmes défis, la vie semble souvent emprunter… les mêmes chemins. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

In this episode, host Friederike Ernst is joined by Kubi Mensah, CEO and co-founder of Gattaca, the company behind Titan Builder. Kubi sheds light on the highly competitive and often opaque world of Ethereum block building, explaining how Gattaca evolved from a centralized exchange proprietary trading firm to one of the three dominant builders responsible for constructing the vast majority of Ethereum blocks today . They dissect the true "journey of a transaction," revealing why over half of all Ethereum transaction value bypasses the public mempool in favor of private order flow auctions and MEV-protection services . Kubi explains the intricate mechanics of top-of-block bidding by high-frequency DeFi arbitrageurs, the necessity of extreme latency optimization, and the "flywheel effect" that makes block building a natural oligopoly . Finally, the discussion turns to the future of the Ethereum roadmap, unpacking how upcoming upgrades like ePBS (enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation) and FOCIL (Fork-Choice Enforced Inclusion Lists) aim to permanently alter the power dynamics between block builders, validators, and originators .

With Jasmine Goode on “The Valley,” Salley Carson on “Southern Charm,” Ashley Iaconetti on “Real Housewive of Rhode Island,” and Whitney Fransway on “In the City,” the great Bachelor x Bravo convergence is undeniably happening. Guest Gibson Johns (host of “Gabbing with Gib”) joins us to talk about this once-unimaginable overlap between the two massive reality powerhouses, what the Bravo path has to offer reality stars, what a “Bachelor” star has to offer a Bravo show, and what this is means for the future of reality TV.

Presales teams are being asked more and more to do post-sales work. This isn't a fad or something we're doing in the short term. This is a significant change for the broader profession of presales and solutions consulting. What was once occasional support for implementations or customer renewals is now becoming formal job responsibilities for solutions consultants across the industry. In this episode, Jack Cochran sits down with Shamil Turner, Global Technical Solutions Leader at Figma and Presales Collective advisory board member, to explore why this shift is happening and what it means for the future of presales. Shamil brings a unique perspective to this conversation: he was the first SE hired at Figma, built their entire solutions engineering organization from the ground up, and has now transitioned into a post-sales technical leadership role. Together they discuss the strengths that SEs bring to the table that has a profound impact on a company-customer relationships AFTER the sale has happened, and how this plays out in a new role that has been emerging over the past year, the Forward Deployed Engineer. Whether you're a leader making organizational decisions or an IC just getting started, this conversation will help you understand how the world of solutions is evolving.

Your Day Off @Hairdustry; A Podcast about the Hair Industry!
Ted Gibson and Jason Backe Live at ABS ChicagoSome conversations remind you why you got into this industry in the first place. This is one of them.Recorded live at ABS Chicago with co-host Geno Chapman, Corey sits down with Ted Gibson and Jason Backe for an hour covering three decades of hustle, heartbreak, reinvention, and beauty from the inside out.The Roads That Led HereNeither Ted nor Jason took a straight path in. Jason was a raver kid in Minneapolis who walked into beauty school and for the first time felt seen by a teacher. Ted was a Texas athlete who walked into a salon called Zan and Friends, saw a room full of stylish people in starched Wranglers, and decided that was the life. What followed was barber school, a cross-country move seeking fame, a detour to Atlanta to answer phones while switching his license, and a room with Confederate flags on the wall. He stayed anyway. The sacrifices nobody sees are always the foundation of the success they do.What Fame Actually CostsSaying yes to Angelina Jolie's hair for Tomb Raider changed everything. Vogue. Marie Claire. A PR firm that told them to drop the name Fame and call it Ted Gibson. A Fifth Avenue salon. A DC licensing deal tied to the Real Housewives. A move to LA where they gambled everything and learned more than they earned. Three years in Palm Springs that have brought more inspiration than anywhere else they've lived. Success is not linear. It never was.The Client Relationship... and When It EndsTed's rule: treat every client like it's the first time you've seen her. She is a different person. Jason goes deeper, describing 20 years of New York clients who didn't care what it cost, and how COVID ended it overnight. He had to create a new category... client friends. Losing them felt like grief. It changed how he understood his work entirely.Ted Gibson Beauty Wellness ScienceAfter Ted's mom was diagnosed with dementia, they dove into brain health and found lion's mane mushroom. They felt it. They kept going. A scientist in Oregon with 30 years studying fungi and algae helped them build a superfood powder: lion's mane, chaga, reishi, tremella, and blue-green algae in a coconut milk base with vanilla and coffee. Tremella is shown to be 100 times more effective than hyaluronic acid at moisture retention. Mix it into anything. A book is coming.Convergence: Beauty Wellness Science SummitMay 2-3 in Palm Springs. Professionals and consumers in the same room to collaborate, not compete. Mainstage education in cut, color, and dressing. Panel discussions including Guts, Brains and Beauty and Stars, Shrooms and Psychedelics. Breakout rooms. A cocktail party. The Beauty in Motion Evening Performance headlined by Ted and his artistic team. Day two is all professional education with business coaching from Steve Gomez.

In this episode of Point of Convergence, we explore why co-arising clusters of paranormal phenomena appear in places like Skinwalker Ranch. What should we gather from the BAAS/AAWSAP material, which points to perceptual, environmental, and consciousness-linked anomalies rather than isolated aerial objects—aka UFOs?
Recorded at Dreamforce, we explore the next era of shopping with Rishabh Jain of Fermat and how agentic commerce is reshaping the customer journey. We discuss the rapid rise of AI-powered discovery, where platforms like ChatGPT are becoming a primary entry point for consumers, and what that shift means for brands. The conversation dives into the need for rich, contextual, and shoppable content, along with delivering seamless experiences across channels. We also unpack the convergence of behavioral and identity data to drive personalization, and why trust and authenticity are critical. Show Highlights: ChatGPT and LLMs emerging as primary shopping entry points Shift from traditional SEO to rich, shoppable content Seamless, context-aware experiences across channels Convergence of behavioral and identity data for personalization Agentic commerce across search, merchandising, and personal shopping Trust and authenticity as competitive advantages in AI-driven commerce Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

On a chilly night in March of 1976, a father searching for his missing son made a horrifying discovery inside a Chicago apartment - in at what first appeared to be a drug deal gone bad. Inside were the bodies of Gio Messina and Delphine “Tinker” Moore, brutally stabbed to death. With no clear motive and a case that seemed ready to fall apart, it might have stayed buried if not for a series of unlikely breaks. My guest is author Gregg Owen, who, years later, found himself prosecuting that very case and was determined to see it through. His book "Convergence", co-authored with Jonathan Dixon, tells the story of how it all came together. The author's website: https://26thstreetbooks.com Free shipping and 365-day returns with Quince!
