Podcasts about credentials

   If you ask anyone in KC, it's a stone cold lock that Patrick Mahomes in starting against the Broncos in Week 1 and that includes asking anyone in the media.  But media outside KC are pointing out some contradictions in what the Chiefs are saying, and doing right now, and interpret this situation as totally up in the air.    I'd never heard of Farm School until I had lunch with Tim and Britt Cross of www.crosskitchenskc.com Wednesday.  Their oldest attends Farm School "Lolly and Pops" in Raymore and were featured on a piece produced by KSHB-TV.  This is one of the greatest school ideas ever... you have to hear this.    Senator Josh Hawley is targeting Flock Cameras alongside.... Bernie Sanders?   JOCO property taxes are going up again next year, your democrat leaders couldn't hate you more.    In Sports, the Royals win streak ends at 9 as they faced another Mizzou starting pitcher in Toronto.  The Big 12 joins the Big Ten and SEC in not allowing pros to come back to college and I think they made a mistake at least in the short term.  TCU pulls credentials from the largest media outlet covering their football team as they head for Ireland to face Bill Belichick's UNC team.  And TCU is 1000% in the wrong.    A new documentary by the best sports talk show host in KC, Carrington Harrison,  debuts Thursday night at Screenland Armour Theater in NKC and it's called Armageddon at Arrowhead.  It's about that epic MU-KU football game at Arrowhead nearly 20 years ago.    ESPN dumps something for college football, Tom Brady's store in SF gets robbed and a girl is dominating the Little League World Series.

An FBI profiler thinks Lindsay Clancy is a psychopath who was sick of her kids. That's how one commenter puts it, citing Pat Brown, with Matt Walsh as a second vote. The commenter rejects both of them. She's closer to the record than the people she quoted.Pat Brown was never in the FBI. She's an independent, self-taught profiler with a criminal justice master's who has written that she felt too old to join the Bureau and built her own practice instead. She has posted videos arguing Lindsay fabricated her psychosis. Matt Walsh is a political commentator who wrote that the real source of Lindsay's depression was a selfish hatred of her children. Neither has examined her or testified."Sick of her kids" isn't a fringe idea, though. It's the prosecution's theory in plainer words. Prosecutors told the jury Lindsay was controlling and killed the children because she was no longer satisfied with her life. That's a claim being weighed, and the jury hasn't ruled on it."Psychopath" is something else entirely, and the difference is the whole trial. A psychopath knows exactly what's real and doesn't care. Psychosis means losing track of what's real. The defense experts diagnosed postpartum psychosis. The prosecution's experts rejected that and said major depression or bipolar II. No one who examined her, either side, said psychopath or personality disorder.This segment covers five comments about Patrick and the system. What he did in December 2022, dated by testimony. The five words he said when a nurse raised bipolar. The Manhattan move that happened exactly when the comment says it did. The thirteen medications, which are documented. And what happens to Lindsay under each verdict.Opinions about Patrick are fair. Credentials are checkable. Diagnoses come from the witness stand.END LINKSListen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A persistent governance gap is evident in current IT operations, as credential management and authorization checks fail to keep pace with increased automation and AI integration. This is visible in incidents involving major vendors such as N-able (through Passportal), Anthropic's Claude, AI-based retail management at Andon Labs, and legacy industrial controllers monitored by agencies like the NSA, CISA, and FBI. The episode highlights how systems are increasingly reliant on automated actors and credentialed assistants, while foundational questions of access rights and accountability remain unresolved. The most consequential case centers on a vulnerability in N-able's Passportal browser extension, disclosed by security researcher James Arnott. The flaw allowed any website—or embedded ad—to request and obtain session tokens, enabling decryption of entire password vaults. This affected approximately 2,500 MSPs and 165,000 SMBs, with each stolen token remaining valid for 100 days. N-able patched the issue quickly, but Dave Sobel emphasizes that the responsibility for checking permitted actions within such systems is often misattributed or left unaddressed. Supporting developments reinforce this governance gap. An AI assistant exploited poor authorization in an Australian gym reservation system, canceling another user's booking without hacking or unauthorized login. Similar risks persist in industrial environments, where controllers for energy, water, and agriculture often lack basic authentication—exposing them to AI-generated exploitation scripts, according to joint agency warnings. Additionally, retail automation at Andon Labs revealed AI-driven policy lapses, where systems cannot reliably document or enforce their own rules, highlighting operational weaknesses. Operationally, MSPs face increased risk from both their own service infrastructure and client environments. The practical recommendation is to issue discrete, revocable credentials tailored to each system agent, limiting their scope and ensuring traceable accountability. Providers are advised to formally define and document their responsibility boundaries regarding access and permissions in third-party applications. These steps shift the focus from attempting to control every client-side variable to clear documentation and compartmentalization, reducing dispute risk and speeding incident investigations. 00:00 The Gym Class and the Vault 03:39 The Check Was Always a Person  06:37 Your Tools Ask the Wrong Question 10:27 Why Do We Care?    Supported by:  GoTo(LogMeIn)Proofpoint

Episode Overview Do coaches really need credentials? Since coaching isn't a regulated profession, anyone can call themselves a coach—but should they? In this conversation, Brian Miller and Master Certified Coach Mary Selzer discuss the value of coach credentialing, not as a status symbol, but as a commitment to excellence, credibility, and continual growth. They explain how credentials shape the coach as much as they assure the client, creating a solid foundation for transformational coaching. Key Ideas & Takeaways 1. Credentials Bring Credibility Coaching is an unregulated profession, making it difficult for clients to distinguish trained coaches from consultants or advisors. A recognized credential communicates that a coach has invested in learning and has been evaluated against established standards. Credentials help build trust before the coaching conversation even begins. 2. Coaching Is Different from Consulting Many people use the title "coach" while actually telling clients what to do. True coaching helps clients think, discover, and take responsibility rather than simply receiving advice. A credential reinforces the distinction between coaching and consulting. 3. Credentials Change the Coach Mary describes receiving her first credential as a significant mental shift: "I'm legit." The process develops confidence as well as competence. Credentials aren't merely external validation—they transform the coach's identity. 4. Excellence Requires Preparation Coaching people well deserves intentional training. Brian and Mary argue that serving clients with excellence means continually sharpening coaching skills rather than relying on natural ability or experience alone. Excellence honors both the client and the calling. 5. Every Coach Needs a Foundation Every coach operates from a particular coaching philosophy, whether they recognize it or not. Credentialing provides a clear framework and common language for effective coaching. Knowing where your coaching comes from strengthens both confidence and consistency. 6. Competencies Matter Brian highlights the value of the ICF Core Competencies as a practical roadmap for coaching conversations. Competencies help coaches understand how to create awareness, establish agreements, listen deeply, and facilitate action. They provide concrete areas for ongoing improvement. 7. Great Coaches Never Stop Growing One benefit of credential renewal is the expectation of continuing education. Mary shares that after earning her MCC, her first question was, "What's next?" Coaching is about growth—and coaches should model the same lifelong learning they encourage in others. 8. The Credentialing Process Shapes Character Brian reflects that earning his PCC required more than improving techniques—it changed how he thought about people, coaching, and transformation. Rigorous standards don't simply test knowledge; they develop the coach. Memorable Quotes & Ideas "There are many people who call themselves coaches—but they're really consultants." "When I received my first credential, there was a mental shift: 'I'm legit.'" "We aren't the expert on the client's problem—we're the expert on the conversation that creates transformation." "Excellence honors both the client and the calling." "Every coach is coming from somewhere. A credential tells people where you're rooted." "Coaching is about change and growth—and coaches should experience that too." "Getting my PCC didn't just change my coaching; it changed who I was."

Proactive and actionable get used a lot in security, and Michael DeBolt, President and Chief Intelligence Officer at Intel 471, is direct about it. Inside Intel 471, proactive means moving past indicators of compromise, which he describes as temporary, and focusing on adversary behavior instead. Indicators still get blocked. Intent, capability, and motivation are what tell a defender whether they are actually a target. So what is pre-attack intelligence? It is information gathered from inside adversary communities before an attack is launched, built on embedded access to the places where financially motivated actors communicate. DeBolt sets aside the deep and dark web framing, arguing the phrase suggests a space nobody can reach. Mapping it reveals a structured ecosystem of financially motivated cybercrime, with enabling services operating alongside the actors themselves. Why track actors rather than ransomware groups? Because operators move and behaviors stay. Many current groups are staffed by people who ran earlier groups that have since disbanded, and techniques travel with them. A threat hunt built around the behavior holds up whether that person is operating under one banner, another, or on their own. Intel 471 maps techniques to the MITRE framework, which lets a consuming team run threat profiling and decide which actors present more risk than others. The same logic applies to exposure work. An organization scanning its attack surface and finding internet facing vulnerabilities can ask which threat actors are discussing those vulnerabilities, and whether that moves an item to the top of the list. The CISO conversations DeBolt describes land on numbers most security leaders already report on. Mean time to respond, mean time to detect, and alert volume that can absorb half or more of an analyst's day. He uses the phrase decision grade intelligence for intel that informs security operations rather than sitting beside it, with integrations pushing it straight into analyst workflows. Two customer situations show the daily version. Intel 471 helped an organization locate an insider after its own monitoring flagged something unusual. Separately, initial access brokers advertise compromised credentials that feed ransomware operations downstream, and since actors lie and embellish, validating those claims is part of the work. DeBolt closes on a note that sits right next to everyone's AI investment. Credentials, identity, internet facing vulnerabilities, and open remote access tools are still how attackers get in.

Language departments across higher education are facing a familiar challenge: declining enrollments, shrinking degree pathways, and increasing competition for space in students' schedules. But what if the solution isn't asking students to commit to a major or minor? What if it's offering something smaller, more flexible, and directly connected to their career goals?In this episode, host Dr. Grant Gearhart sits down with Dr. André Zampaulo, Professor of Linguistics and Chair of the Department of Linguistics, Literatures, and Cultures at Saint Louis University, to explore how academic micro-credentials are transforming language recruitment and retention. Drawing on SLU's remarkable success, Dr. Zampaulo shares practical strategies for designing micro-credentials, recruiting students intentionally, and building programs that attract entirely new audiences without undermining traditional majors and minors.Whether you're a department chair, language educator, or higher education administrator, this conversation offers a data-driven roadmap for reimagining the future of language programs in an era of changing student needs.In this episode, you'll learn:Why micro-credentials are emerging as a powerful response to declining language enrollmentsHow to design flexible, career-focused credentials that appeal to today's studentsRecruitment strategies that move beyond mass emails to personalized outreachWays to build student community and improve retention, even in short academic pathwaysAbout Dr. André Zampaulo:Dr. André Zampaulo is Professor of Linguistics and Chair of the Department of Linguistics, Literatures, and Cultures at Saint Louis University. A specialist in Romance linguistics, phonetics, phonology, and language variation, he has authored and edited numerous influential publications, including Palatal Sound Change in the Romance Languages (Oxford University Press) and The Routledge Handbook of Portuguese Phonology. As department chair, he has led innovative, data-driven initiatives that have significantly expanded student participation through majors, minors, and academic micro-credentials.Read Dr. Zampaulo's article on using micro-credentials to strengthen language recruitment and retention here.

In this episode, Barbara discusses:    Dr. Barbara Hales explains why video is a powerful way for physicians to connect with future patients where they already are—on platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn.  Dr. Barbara Hales shows that physicians already have endless video topics by turning common patient questions into short, helpful content.  Dr. Barbara Hales warns against waiting for perfection and urges doctors to start recording imperfect but useful videos instead of obsessing over equipment or appearance.  Dr. Barbara Hales emphasizes speaking in simple, patient-friendly language (not like a medical lecture) and getting to the point quickly to keep viewers from scrolling away.  Dr. Barbara Hales highlights the importance of focusing on the patient (not the doctor's credentials) and using strong visuals and demonstrations so videos build trust and are memorable.   Key Takeaways:  “Video works for physicians not because it's perfectly produced, but because it quickly, simply, and visually answers the patient's real questions in a way that feels personal, trustworthy, and focused on them.”  Connect with Barbara Hales:  Twitter: @DrBarbaraHales Facebook: facebook.com/theMedicalStrategist Business Website: TheMedicalStrategist.com Email: info@TheMedicalStrategist.com  YouTube:@barbarahales LinkedIn: https://www.LinkedIn.com/in/barbarahalesBooks: Content Copy Made Easy 14 Tactics to Triple Sales Power to the Patient: The Medical Strategist TRANSCRIPTION (243)   Chapter 1: Why Video Matters for Physicians  [0:00:02 – Dr. Barbara Hales] Welcome to another episode of Marketing Tips for Doctors. I’m your host, Dr. Barbara Hales. Today we are going to be discussing something that has become one of the most powerful marketing tools available to physicians: Video, but ask yourself why your medical videos aren’t working. Today, we’ll discuss the first five mistakes most physicians make.  [0:00:38 – Dr. Barbara Hales] Before you think, I don’t have professional cameras. I don’t know how to edit. I don’t have enough time, or I hate seeing myself on camera. I want to tell you a little story, because over the last few weeks, I’ve been learning something completely new, not medicine, not practice management, not marketing strategy. I’ve been learning how to create short-form videos, and let me tell you, it has been humbling. I honestly thought the difficult part would be coming up with ideas. It wasn’t. The difficult part was editing. One afternoon, I spent hours trying to edit what should have been a very simple product video. Hours. I watched tutorials. I clicked the wrong buttons.  [0:01:45 – Dr. Barbara Hales] I undid things I had just done. At one point, I honestly wondered if I was ever going to finish. Then I had a realization: I don’t need to become a professional video editor. I don’t need to look like it was made by a professional. I need to become a better communicator.  [0:02:14 – Dr. Barbara Hales] Those are two completely different skills. Technology can help me edit. Only I can communicate with authenticity, and I realize something else. If I felt overwhelmed, imagine how many positions feel exactly the same way. So, if you’ve been putting off video because it seems complicated. This episode is for you. Why now? Let’s start with a simple question: Why should physicians even bother making videos? Because that’s where your future patients are. Years ago, people searched Google. Today, they search Google, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, even LinkedIn.  [0:03:15 – Dr. Barbara Hales] Patients don’t just want information anymore; they want connection. They want to know what kind of doctor you are. Will you explain things clearly? Will you listen? Will you make them feel comfortable? Video answers all of those questions before they ever schedule an appointment. Here’s another reason: you already have an unlimited supply of content. Every single day, patients ask you questions-questions you’ve answered hundreds of times, questions that seem routine to you-but those same questions are brand new to someone hearing the answer for the first time.  [0:04:06 – Dr. Barbara Hales] Should I worry about this symptom? Why do I need this medication? How long will recovery take? Can I exercise after surgery? What’s normal? What isn’t? Those aren’t just questions. Those are videos. Seasonal illnesses, flu season, travel medicine, heat exhaustion, spring allergies, sports physicals, Heart Month, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Diabetes Awareness Month. The ideas are endless, which brings me to what I think may be the most important sentence in today’s episode. Every question you answer in the exam room today. Is probably being typed into Google, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok by hundreds, if not 1000s, of people tonight. Then think about it.  [0:05:16 – Dr. Barbara Hales] Those questions, the ones that have become second nature to you, they’re exactly what people are searching for. They’re looking for answers. They’re looking for reassurance, and perhaps most importantly, they’re looking for someone they can trust.    Chapter 2: Mistake 1 – Waiting for Perfection  [0:05:35 – Dr. Barbara Hales] If you’re the physician consistently providing those answers, you’re not just creating videos; you are building relationships before the first appointment ever happens. Now, let’s talk about the first five mistakes I see physicians make with video marketing. Mistake one: waiting for perfection. Let’s start with the biggest mistake of all: waiting until everything is perfect. I understand why physicians do this.  [0:06:15 – Dr. Barbara Hales] We’ve trained to strive for precision. In medicine, details matter, accuracy matters, getting it right matters. So naturally, we carry the same mindset into marketing. We think, I’ll record a video after I buy a better camera. I’ll start once my office is renovated. I’ll wait until I learn how to edit. I’ll do it when I lose a few pounds. I’ll do it when I feel more comfortable on camera.  [0:06:52 – Dr. Barbara Hales] Can I tell you something? Your future patients aren’t waiting for perfection. They’re waiting for someone who can answer their questions. Patients don’t expect Hollywood. They expect honesty. They expect clarity. They expect someone who feels genuine. Ironically, sometimes the videos that perform the best are the ones that feel the least polished. Why? Because they feel real. People connect with people, not perfection.  [0:07:37 – Dr. Barbara Hales] If you keep waiting until every detail is perfect, you’ll still be waiting a year from now. Instead, record one helpful video, learn from it. Record another. Your first video isn’t supposed to be your best video. It’s simply supposed to be your first. Mistake two: talking like you’re giving a medical lecture. Once physicians finally press record, many make the same mistake. They forget who they’re talking to. You aren’t speaking to your colleagues. You’re speaking to Patients; patients don’t want to feel like they’re sitting through grand rounds. They want someone who can explain complicated information in a way that’s reassuring and easy to understand.    Chapter 3: Mistakes 2 & 3 – Overly Technical and Too Slow to the Point  [0:08:36 – Dr. Barbara Hales] One of my favorite communication tests is this: Could a high school student understand what you’re saying? If the answer is yes, you’re probably communicating well. Simple doesn’t mean you’re dumbing things down. Simple means you’re making knowledge accessible, and that’s one of the greatest gifts a physician can offer. Mistake three: taking too long to get to the point. You know this is something that we’ve all done at one point or another.  [0:09:12 – Dr. Barbara Hales] Now let’s talk about attention. Years ago, people would patiently watch an introduction. Not anymore. Today you’re competing with 1000s of videos. If your opening doesn’t answer one question, why should I keep watching? People simply scroll instead of beginning with “Hello everyone, I’m Dr. Smith.  [0:09:40 – Dr. Barbara Hales] Try beginning with three reasons your blood pressure medication may not be enough, or the biggest mistake I see after knee replacement surgery, or if you wake up with headaches every morning, don’t ignore the. Lead with the problem. Curiosity is one of the most powerful marketing tools you’ll ever use. Mistake number four: making the video about you instead of the patient.    Chapter 4: Mistake 4 – Making the Video About You, Not the Patient  [0:10:20 – Dr. Barbara Hales] Here’s another trap physicians fall into. They spend the first minute talking about themselves, where they trained, how many years they practiced, their credentials. Now, don’t misunderstand me. Credentials matter, but not in the first 30 seconds. Patients are thinking about one thing: themselves, their symptoms, their concerns, their questions. Meet them where they are, instead of saying, “I’ve been practicing medicine for 25 years. Try saying, “Here’s something every patient should know before. See the difference. The first sentence is about you.  [0:11:13 – Dr. Barbara Hales] The second sentence is about them, and that’s where trust begins. Let me tell you something I’ve observed over the years. I’ve worked with physicians who had nearly identical credentials, excellent schools, board certifications, years of experience. Yet one physician always seemed to have a waiting room full of new patients, while another struggled.  [0:11:44 – Dr. Barbara Hales] Why? Because patients don’t choose the doctor with the longest resume; they choose the doctor they feel they already know. Video creates familiarity. It lets patients experience your personality, your communication style, your compassion before they ever walk into your office. By the time they arrive for that first appointment, it doesn’t feel like they’re meeting a stranger. It feels like they’re meeting someone they’ve already come to trust-that’s the real power of video. It isn’t views. It isn’t likes. It isn’t algorithms. It’s trust.    Chapter 5: Mistake 5 – Not Using Visuals and Overcomplicating Production  [0:12:34 – Dr. Barbara Hales] Now, let’s talk about something I learned myself over the last few weeks. Video isn’t just about talking; it’s about showing. As physicians, we’re comfortable explaining things, but sometimes a simple visual explains more than a five-minute conversation. If you’re talking about knee pain, show a model of the knee. If you’re discussing skin cancer, show videos or diagrams when appropriate. If you’re explaining how to use an inhaler, you guessed it. Demonstrate it.  [0:13:18 – Dr. Barbara Hales] People remember what they see, not just what they hear. I’ll give you a personal example. Recently, I was creating a short product video. The first version, honestly, it wasn’t very good. I simply filmed the product and started talking. It looked flat, so I stopped and asked myself, “How can I tell the story before I even say a word? The product happened to contain coconut, lime, and verbena. Instead of just placing the bottle on a table, I got a coconut.  [0:14:01 – Dr. Barbara Hales] I cut it in half so you could see the inside. I placed fresh limes around the bottle. I put the bottle on a large natural rack, and I positioned everything beside a small palm tree. Suddenly, the video had a completely different feeling. Before I ever opened my mouth, the viewer already understood the product’s tropical theme. That experience reminded me of something we sometimes forget: video is visual. Every image should reinforce your message.  [0:14:45 – Dr. Barbara Hales] Now, here’s the funny part. I actually drove around my neighborhood looking for the perfect little palm tree. After all that searching, I came home, walked into my backyard, and realized I. I already had the perfect palm tree growing there.  [0:15:03 – Dr. Barbara Hales] Sometimes marketing is like that. We spend so much time looking for complicated solutions that we overlook the resources we already have. The same thing happens in medicine. Physicians often think they need expensive cameras, a professional studio, or a production company.  [0:15:26 – Dr. Barbara Hales] Most of the time, what they already have is enough. One of these: a smartphone, good lighting, knowledge that helps people, and the willingness to press record-that’s where great video marketing begins. Not with expensive equipment, but with thoughtful communication.  [0:15:51 – Dr. Barbara Hales] So today we’ve covered the first five mistakes that keep physicians from creating videos that connect with patients. Next week, we’re going to explore five more mistakes that can quietly destroy even a great video. We’ll talk about captions, why many viewers never hear a word you say, how to keep people from scrolling away, and the simple changes that can dramatically increase engagement. I think you’ll be surprised by how much difference those small details can make. So for this week, I’d like you to find one video you’d like to make and put it in the comments below.

As reactions and debates continue to trail the omission of primary and secondary school credentials from the educational information published for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, questions are being raised about who is responsible for verifying the credentials politicians submit when seeking public office.Today on Nigeria Daily, we look beyond the current debate to understand what INEC actually verifies, who is responsible for authenticating politicians' academic credentials, and what happens when questions are raised about a candidate's qualifications.

Anesthesia coverage is now the single most cited financial headache for surgery center leaders in the country, and MD-only care is disappearing fast: QZ billing is up 15%, team-based coverage is up 30%, and CRNA-involved cases have nearly doubled in Florida over 14 years. Joe Rodriguez sits down with Randy Moore, Chief CRNA and Chief Strategy Officer at North Star Anesthesia, and first-time guest Andrew Woodmancey, founder and managing partner of Anesthesia Operations Consultants, a mid-sized consulting firm based in Florida, to break down what's actually driving these numbers. They don't agree on all of it. The conversation opens with a new VMG Health survey on where anesthesia subsidies are headed in 2026, then moves into the billing data behind the shift away from MD-only care. Andrew, brought on as the non-clinical voice in the room, argues the real economic problem is reimbursement and industry infighting, not scope-of-practice fights. Joe pushes further, arguing that credentials alone don't guarantee value: the market only pays for solving someone else's problem, and if surgeons can eventually do it without anesthesia providers, they will. Randy and Joe also spar over how much weight to give data versus identity in shaping the industry's direction. Also in this one: what change management actually looks like for an anesthesiologist moving from a one-to-three model to zone coverage, and why the math behind CRNA-only staffing might be quietly reversing in some markets.  TAKEAWAYS 1. MD-only anesthesia care is significantly decreasing, not because of politics or scope-of-practice wins, but because the economics stopped supporting it. QZ billing is up 15%, team-based coverage up 30%. 2. In Florida, roughly 90% of anesthesia cases now involve a CRNA, up from about 70%. 3. Credentials alone don't create economic value. Value in this market is transactional to some degree, tied to solving someone else's problem, not to years of training. 4. QZ utilization is increasing across states, though unevenly, some markets seeing modest growth, others far more dramatic shifts. MD-only care is significantly decreasing nationally, and medical direction/team models are increasing at varying rates by state. Want more Dr. Joe Rodriguez?

The demand for short-term credential programs is growing, and state leaders are responding. In 2025, a total of $8.1 billion was spent across 34 states to help students and institutions deliver high-quality, short-term education and training programs. This growing state investment, combined with Workforce Pell, has states contending with new issues: How will states approve programs? How do students know which programs lead to better wages? How will institutions help keep people on a pathway to degree programs? This month, Kermit Kaleba from Lumina Foundation discusses the FutureReady States initiative - a program helping state leaders work through these issues and more. Governor Jared Polis of Colorado and Nathan Rankin of Alabama's Department of Workforce discuss their strategies to improve short-term credential programs and outcomes.

He trained at the BBC and worked across NBC, Fox, ABC stations and CBS affiliates in the US, which gave him a front row seat to how producers choose guests. In this conversation he breaks down why credentials get your pitch deleted, how original research creates a story instead of chasing one, and the calm, clarity, courage framework he built after nearly drowning on the Zambezi River. Key Discussion Themes: Why leading with credentials gets your pitch deleted, and what producers want instead Creating the news with original research, and the fifty, twenty-five, twenty-five split that makes a story Handling nerves on air, from the service-first reframe to menthol mints and rehearsing in the car The Zambezi River story and the calm, clarity, courage framework that came out of it The three reasons entrepreneurs stay invisible: clarity, coaching and distribution Listener Takeaway: Credentials do not get you booked. A story worth telling does, and the fastest way to build one is to ask your market a question nobody has asked yet. Then get your reps in until you can tell it well.

Thaddeus McCotter and Judy Dempsey turn to a deadly ramming attack at a Berlin parade that has put Chancellor Friedrich Merz on the defensive regarding his security credentials. The populist AfD party is exploiting the tragedy to criticize "uncontrolled immigration" ahead of crucial state elections. While Merz responded with calls for law and order, the incident underscores the difficulty police face in monitoring numerous terrorist suspects. The AfD utilizes these crises to offer simple solutions. (4)1903

[2:58] That's a free informational session. Visit RIMS.org/CertificationWeek for more information. A link is in this episode's show notes. But we're here to talk with Colette about her fascinating career and risk philosophies. Let's get to it! [3:13] Interview! Colette Cummins, Welcome to RIMScast! [3:28] Colette was told once that she is excessively optimistic. She's very positive. She took it as a compliment. [4:18] Colette started fresh out of university in credit analysis and credit risk management. She worked in a few financial services organizations. It gave her a taste for risk management at a high level. It was around portfolio analysis and the credit history of customers. [4:51] The role Colette was in wound down, and she was looking to move into a different area in the company, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, in the financial services subsidiary. An opportunity came up to work in internal audit. She decided to try it for a year. She stayed in it for 15 years. [5:32] In the middle of those 15 years, Colette had an interim stint in Operational Risk Management for a year and a half, and she loved it. [5:47] Colette says, in Operational Risk, you're seeing down at a tactical level how to manage and monitor risk. It was very much around risk monitoring. [6:01] Colette explains why she stayed in internal audit for 15 years. Ten years were spent in various internal audit management roles in the financial services subsidiary. It was a tough time for HPE in terms of meeting the new regulatory challenges in Ireland and Europe for financial services. [6:41] Colette was asked to take on the Head of Internal Audit role. She did that for five years. She went into Internal Audit for one year in 2008. In 2015, she worked in Operational Risk. In 2017, she was asked to come back to take over as Head of Internal Audit. [7:11] It was a challenging situation because new EU regulations were coming in for banks and financial services businesses. It was a lot of pressure to meet these. There was a lot of scrutiny from Irish regulators. It was a challenging environment for Internal Audit. [7:53] When Colette moved in as Head of Internal Audit, it was a pivotal role in terms of steering the organization through that regulatory time. It was a great learning experience and very helpful now that she's in a public sector role. [8:09] Colette says, the whole time she was Head of Internal Audit, she was thinking, "How do I get back to Risk? How do I get out of here?" She loved Operational Risk. [8:27] Colette networked heavily within the organization. She got the opportunity to move out of Financial Services up into the global HPE organization as an Enterprise Risk Manager. She got that role through networking. She enjoyed that ERM role and did it for about five years. [9:26] Colette says it was a strategic role. She was working with the heads of each business unit, reviewing their risks. It had a very heavy emphasis on reporting to the audit committee and the board on what was happening in risk management in the business units. [9:58] Colette didn't feel as if she was effecting change or driving new strategies within the organization, but she learned a huge amount about negotiating with senior management and a lot about the fundamentals of risk management. [10:18] For the last year or two of her role, Colette wondered what she was doing there. She had a sense of wanting to stay in risk management but wanting to do something different, maybe something more value-add and less commercially driven. [10:39] Colette says towards the end of 2025, HPE announced it was cutting resources and implementing cost-cutting initiatives. As part of that, her role was made redundant. At first, it was a big upheaval and quite a shock after 22 years with the organization. [11:03] Colette says that upheaval turned into a great opportunity. It was the push she needed to ask herself where she wanted to go and what she wanted to do. It was an opportunity to try something completely different. [11:28] Colette says she didn't know anybody in the public sector. She had no contacts. But in Ireland, you cannot in any way canvass for jobs in the public sector. Everything is heavily regulated with very strict anti-corruption regulations. [11:54] Colette says she had no knowledge of the organization. She had no intention of applying for a role for at least six months. But she started looking at what was out there. She was going to put some time into development and building out her CV and getting some qualifications. [12:33] Colette says she had been thinking she would like to do something in the public sector; something more meaningful and less commercially-driven. She wanted to do something with more autonomy, more impact, and more control over risk at the organisation. [12:54] Colette says, one Wednesday afternoon, she was looking, and she saw this job that had just come up. It's in exactly the right location, it's public sector, and it's IFI, an environmental body. Colette said, "Wow! This is it!" Forgetting her six months off, she had to go for it. [13:19] Colette interviewed for the job when she hadn't yet finished her old role at HPE. She was hugely busy, trying to wrap up her role and interviewing. The interview process for the public sector in Ireland is extremely rigorous and tough. She was successful in the role. [13:43] Colette says she just had a couple of weeks off and then went straight into it in March of 2026. She has been CRO at Inland Fisheries Ireland for four months now. [14:06] Colette says IFI is the state organization that is responsible for protecting the fish stock in Ireland. Ireland is a country with a lot of waterways. IFI is responsible for protecting the fish in 45,000 miles of rivers, 128,000 hectares of lakes, and 3,500 miles of shoreline. [14:43] It's doing everything to protect and restore the fish stock in those areas. Historically, the organization was very much about protection, preventing fishermen from overfishing and from fishing illegally, especially protected species. IFI has a substantial staff who patrol the rivers. [15:17] Now IFI is working on pollution, reacting to any pollution episodes and ensuring that they're investigated and stopped. Colette says that prevention measures sit with a different state body. The Environmental Protection Agency works on the prevention of pollution.  [15:41] Colette says because the IFI has staff on the ground, it will see pollution coming in, react to it, and get in touch with the EPA to say, We've seen something coming into this river at this location. We need your team out here to source and stop it. [16:08] The IFI staff on the ground takes samples of the water and has them ready for when the EPA team comes to look at it. Another huge element of what the IFI does is restoring the habitat and creating the perfect environment for the fish. They research how the stock is developing. [16:35] The IFI research teams go out and do things like electrofishing, where they stun the fish for a few seconds to take a scale from the fish, test it, and work out the genetic trail of the fish and where they've come from. There's a huge amount of information they take from that. [16:58] The IFI works on the rivers, as well. Salmon, in particular, always go back to where they spawned. You need to keep that route open for them. If a barrier, like a dam, has been built, the IFI team works with construction companies to remove those. [17:19] The IFI has a wide series of activities: patrolling, protection, pollution, habitat restoration, and research. Colette is sure risk professionals hearing this are saying, That's a lot of risks! [17:37] Justin points out that the IFI covers thousands of miles. It's not just the particulars of the job but also the volume and area it has to cover. [18:03] Colette says the other element is that fishing or angling is part of Ireland's tourist industry. The IFI promotes fishing, without overfishing, obviously, and supports and partners with the local fishing organizations. [18:28] A Quick Break! Many fantastic RIMS events are coming up in 2026.

The link to registration is in this episode's show notes. [20:54] Let's Return to Our Interview with Inland Fisheries CRO and RIMS-CRMP Commissioner Colette Cummins! [21:05] Justin comments that fish is a critical food source, so IFI has to make sure that they're clean, healthy, and they keep repopulating. Colette agrees but says that it's less about food and more about environmental protection. [21:23] Colette says some species have been reduced a huge amount in the last number of years because of things like pollution, habitat destruction, etc. It's really about environmental protection, restoring that stock, and bringing it back to where it should be for a natural balance. [21:42] Colette says her CRO role is new at IFI. That's what made it even more exciting for her. She says, when she came in, it was basically a blank sheet. IFI had dealt with risk by using a third party to give them a risk management model and some training. [22:10] Colette says the IFI was trying to work with that in-house, without any risk management expertise. It brought in a bit of a risk mindset, but essentially, Colette had a clean sheet to start with. She came in in March, and now she's building out the risk register. [22:36] Colette's first task was to design the risk framework. Colette loves risk management and has done lots of various elements of it, but she's never had complete autonomy, where she was driving change in the organization. [22:55] By full autonomy, Colette means she owns everything. Anything that happens to do with risk comes to her. [23:01] Up until now, Colette's role has been designing the framework: establishing how the organization is going to manage risk, building that out, getting people on board with that framework. It's split into six departments within the organization. [23:29] Each head of that department, or ELT member, will own their risk register, or their list of risks. Colette is working closely with them to ensure they have all their risks listed within that register and that they fully understand them. [23:48] Colette is looking at their controls and helping them devise new controls, looking at how the risk matches the risk appetite of the organization, and working with the next level of management beneath them to help them develop their risk registers to report up to the ELT. [24:40] Colette says IFI had been trying to recruit a CRO for some time. She wishes she had known! She would have applied last year. She just happened to see it. The existing model wasn't working. There was a real need. [25:00] The audit committee and board were saying they weren't happy. They said they needed to see risk management alive in the organization. Colette had to dive straight in, hit the ground running, and start building it out straightaway. It was exactly the challenge she was looking for. [25:18] Colette says it's so good to have that autonomy and responsibility, but also accountability. She is completely accountable for everything that happens with risk. Colette gets each member of the ELT to develop their risk register and report that up to the audit committee. [25:45] If anybody is doing anything where they want to think about risk, they talk to Colette. It's not complicated. They don't go to somebody else. Everybody knows, if it's got the word "risk," they come to Colette. Colette says the full visibility of everything is great. [26:19] Colette says she's starting with a very simplistic model to build the registers. She says it's drawn more from ISO, but it's a very simplistic model to get the organization started. Colette moved from a private-sector global IT company to the public sector. [26:56] The one thing that is challenging is that things move much slower in government. It moves much slower, and that's probably even more so in Ireland than in Europe and maybe than in the U.S. [27:16] You could come in and see this is the change that is needed, and think you could go ahead and effect that change within a couple of weeks? Oh, no you don't! You need to take everything slowly and get the right approvals and authorizations, etc.  [27:29] Colette says she is starting with a really simplistic model: set out your risks, set out your controls, set out your mitigating actions, and then, we're going to get the organization working on that with that framework. [27:43] Colette hopes to do it within six months, but knowing the public sector, it could be a year. Then start building in other elements to it to make it a more mature and sophisticated framework. [28:19] Every change has to be approved by the Audit and Risk Committee (ARC). If Colette wants to make a small tweak in the existing framework, it goes back to the Audit and Risk Committee, which meets every three months. [28:51] Colette presented to the ARC in June. She presented how she wanted to move forward. There was no question. She knew they were going to approve it. She couldn't just go ahead and put the framework in place. [29:08] It needs to go through the protocols and have the conversation with the ARC and just take it nice and slow to effect any change. That is one challenge that's different for Colette. But otherwise, she can bring all of her experience from different areas and use every bit of it. [29:37] One More Quick Break! RIMS has launched RIMS, The Foundation for Risk ManagementTM. The Foundation is dedicated to shaping the future of the profession. Contribute to strengthen the global risk management community and invest in the future of the industry. [29:57] The Foundation also supports the Spencer Educational Foundation but has a different mission. The Foundation focuses on providing opportunities for those professionals who have already decided to enter risk management and are just getting started. [30:11] You can learn more about the Foundation by visiting RIMS.org/FRM.  While you're there, be sure to check out information about the Susan Meltzer Scholarship Fund, which was established to honor Ms. Meltzer, who was RIMS President in 1999 and 2000. [30:30] Susan Meltzer was a cherished RIMS President and contributed so much to RIMS and the greater risk community. Learn more at RIMS.org/FRM.  [30:39] Let's Return to Our Interview with Colette Cummins!  [30:53] Colette Cummins is speaking with us today from County Kildare, about 30 miles outside Dublin, Ireland. The IFI offices are on the edge of Dublin, the capital of Ireland. Colette says the land is actually greener and more beautiful than the travel brochures could describe. [31:30] Colette says Ireland is full of rich waterways, which keeps her in a job. She lives near Dublin but is originally from the Southwest of Ireland, which is by far the most beautiful. The coastline is stunning. It's where most Irish go on holidays. It's gorgeous. [32:00] Colette says the accent in the Southwest of Ireland is different. Colette's husband from the middle of Ireland requests subtitles when he visits her family in the Southwest. Colette describes the difference between the accents in the South and North of Ireland. [33:05] Colette says the IFI Corporate Risk Register has generic risks around AI, cyber, training, and resources. [33:33] One of their biggest risks is health and safety. Staff are going out and patrolling rivers. They will sometimes come across fishermen who are happily overfishing and not keen to meet a patrolling officer who tells them they shouldn't be taking all this fish and depleting the stocks. [34:08] There is a health and safety risk with the patrolling officer being out on a river on boats. There is a health and safety risk in meeting an acrimonious and adversarial fisherman. [34:28] Because IFI does research, they have staff in labs, using high-tech equipment, with a health and safety risk. They have engineers looking at the rivers and habitats and maybe some constructions in the rivers that need to be removed. They have a health and safety risk. [34:37] These are new risks and things for Colette to get her head around. How do we do this? How do we manage that? And the other side is regulation. There are a lot of different regulations that impact IFI. [35:22] Colette says, In the public sector, your reputation is critically important, because you're the face of the state. Reputation is an impact factor you need to build into every risk. If IFI does something wrong, it could end up in the national media the day after. IFI uses taxpayers' money. [36:15] Colette says another huge category of risk for IFI is procurement, ensuring they are using taxpayers' money in the right way and not misusing it. [36:50] Colette says that prioritizing risks comes back to the goals. In procurement, there is the risk of spending money in a way that's not compliant. There is also the risk that there are too many procurement controls and the business can't move fast enough or do what it needs to do. [37:24] Colette says it comes to the organizational goals. What is the impact on the organizational goals? Which risk is going to have a greater detrimental impact on the organization's mission? One caveat: the health and well-being of the staff override everything. [37:55] Health and safety risk trumps everything. IFI would be completely averse to any risk that will impact the health and safety of the staff. Health and safety trumps every other risk. [38:16] Justin says he and Colette met recently for the RIMS-CRMP series where everyone can see her on September 24th. Justin says Colette is very positive and upbeat and speaks about her role with a lot of enthusiasm and joviality. [38:39] Colette says there are 330 people in IFI. It's not commercially driven, so a lot of people are at IFI because they love the work. For some people Colette works with, it's a vocation. They would nearly do the same job without being paid because they have such passion for it. [39:11] Colette met with the research team on site at the rivers to get a better understanding and just to see the passion they have for the job. Using her risk knowledge to help them do their jobs better and to help them protect themselves from risks was rewarding and enjoyable to Colette. [39:45] Colette says being able to use her experience across the organization is just fantastic. Colette has a lot of different experience, and to bring it all together and use it every day when she is challenged with a new task is fantastic and very rewarding. [40:27] Colette says this is the field staff's very busy time because this is when all the fishing is happening, this is when pollution is more likely to happen, and when the temperatures go up, the fish are under pressure, so you have to try and protect the waters. [40:42] Colette says the research staff was delighted to hear that someone was coming down from the head office to go out and make the time to really understand the organization. They were very anxious to show her everything. There is such pride in the organization. [41:!5] Justin says a lot of the risk professionals listening are in the private sector, and he asks Colette what would most surprise them about risk management in a public environmental organization. [41:40] Colette says a lot of the differences in the public sector are what you would expect: things move slower, and the protocols. [41:49] What surprised Colette the most is what a strong risk mindset they have. There's a good understanding of risk already, even through the layers of management. They can look at what's going on, the processes, and the activities and ask, "What are the risks here?" [42:16] There is also a commitment to risk that Colette was not expecting. She was expecting to meet a research manager who wanted to research and leave risks to Colette. She hasn't had that anywhere. They all ask her to talk with them about their risks. "Am I managing them right?" [42:39] Colette says there is knowledge and commitment, and that has been the biggest surprise for her. It obviously makes her job a lot easier. [42:48] Justin says this is excellent. It has been such a pleasure to meet you these last couple of days. We're going to see you during RIMS Certification week on September 24th. [42:57] Justin says, You will be co-hosting the informational session, "A Conversation with RIMS-CRMP Commissioners Who Hold the Credential." You're such a breath of fresh air. We really appreciate your contributions, and I learned a lot speaking with you today and yesterday. [41:12] Justin says, You have a fascinating job, and I hope that you have a chance to attend a RIMS event, maybe lead a session, and connect with our live audiences, as well. Colette says she would love to at some stage in the future. [43:32] Special thanks again to Colette Cummins of Inland Fisheries Ireland for joining us here on RIMScast.

The right financial advisor can help you plan for the future. But the right kind of counsel can do something more: help you stay anchored to what matters most. When we seek financial guidance, we're not simply looking for information. We're looking for direction. And for believers, that direction should be shaped by God's Word—not merely by the market. Money decisions are never just financial. They touch our hopes, fears, sense of control, and ultimately our trust in God. That's why Scripture consistently points us toward the importance of wise counsel. The Wisdom of Seeking Counsel Proverbs 11:14 says: “Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.” That word safety matters. It points to the protection and stability that can come when we humbly seek wisdom beyond our own perspective. Seeking counsel requires humility. It means admitting that we don't always see the whole picture. That isn't weakness—it's wisdom. Consider Moses in Exodus 18. God had called him to lead Israel, yet his father-in-law, Jethro, noticed something Moses had missed. People were lining up from morning until evening while Moses tried to handle every dispute himself. Jethro told him plainly, “What you are doing is not good.” He then suggested a better way. Moses listened. He delegated responsibility, and both he and the people were better served. If Moses needed wise counsel, surely we do too. That is especially true when it comes to money. In a culture that prizes financial independence, it can be easy to confuse independence with self-reliance. But Proverbs 19:20 reminds us: “Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future.” Every Financial Plan Reflects a Worldview Not all counsel is the same. Technical expertise matters. Credentials matter. Experience matters. But the worldview beneath the advice matters too. Every financial recommendation carries assumptions about what constitutes success, how much is enough, where security is found, what generosity should look like, how we should think about retirement, and ultimately what wealth is for. Advice may sound impressive and still quietly move our hearts toward goals Scripture never gives us. Jesus warned in Luke 12:15: “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” A spreadsheet can help us plan, but it cannot shepherd the heart. That is one reason values-aligned financial counsel can make such a meaningful difference. Why Shared Values Matter Recent research from Pinkston compared clients working with Certified Kingdom Advisors® (CKA®)—financial professionals trained to integrate biblical wisdom into their practice—with clients of general financial advisors. Among clients of general advisors, 64% prioritized investment returns. Among CKA® clients, however, 70% prioritized shared beliefs and values. For many Christian investors, shared faith is not simply an added benefit. It shapes the entire financial conversation. That alignment also appears to foster significant trust. CKA® clients reported a 98% retention rate and a Net Promoter Score of 83, compared with 58 among general-advisor clients. But perhaps even more important is how values-aligned counsel can broaden the conversation beyond financial performance alone. Eighty-one percent of Certified Kingdom Advisors® (CKA®) said they help clients incorporate faith or values-based investing into their financial plans, compared with 57% of general advisors. Clients working with CKA®s were also twice as likely to have significantly increased their charitable giving. That matters because Scripture never treats money in isolation. It connects our financial choices with worship, trust, contentment, generosity, and obedience. Jesus said in Matthew 6:21: “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Our financial decisions do more than move money. They reveal—and help shape—what has captured our hearts. Counsel That Sees Money as Stewardship The research also found that 72% of Certified Kingdom Advisors® (CKA®) reported being very fulfilled in their work, compared with 48% of general advisors. In addition, 80% said their work was closely aligned with their life's purpose. That kind of perspective matters. When an advisor sees financial planning not simply as managing assets but as serving people, the relationship can become about much more than maximizing returns. It can create space to ask deeper questions: How much is enough? What has God entrusted to me? How should generosity shape my financial plan? What does faithful stewardship look like in this season? Those are not questions a financial calculator can answer by itself. Finding the Right Financial Counsel So, how do you find wise, values-aligned financial counsel? Start by asking good questions. Ask a prospective advisor how their faith shapes the way they think about money, risk, generosity, success, and the purpose of wealth. Look for someone with both professional competence and a worldview that recognizes God as the ultimate owner of everything we have. A wise advisor will not make every decision for you—and shouldn't. You remain responsible for the resources God has entrusted to your care. But the right advisor can help you cut through the noise, ask better questions, see blind spots, and build a financial plan around what matters most. Surrounding yourself with godly, competent counsel does not remove your responsibility as a steward. It can help you carry that responsibility more faithfully.

On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I'm 65 and planning to retire in January. My wife and I will have a little over $100,000 a year from Social Security, Air Force retirement, and VA disability. I also have $200,000 in a 401(k)—$150,000 traditional and $50,000 Roth. How much of the traditional 401(k) can I convert to Roth each year, and would it make sense to spread those conversions over several years to minimize taxes? My wife and I have $80,000 that we'd like to earn interest on. We could leave it untouched for three to six months. Would an online high-yield savings account, CD, or another option make the most sense? I have about $36,000 in a 457 deferred compensation plan and cash match account. What are my options for that money? Can I move it elsewhere, leave it where it is, or set up monthly withdrawals? I'm 40 and have $70,000 in a Roth IRA, $46,000 in a traditional IRA, and $200,000 in a taxable brokerage account. Should I use the traditional IRA or taxable account to put more money into Roth? And over time, should I keep some money in the traditional IRA for tax diversification or eventually convert it all? I'd like to understand how Social Security is taxed. Does annuity income count toward the income thresholds that determine whether Social Security benefits are taxable? And how is the annuity income itself taxed?

You spent decades becoming the best in your field. You assumed that would be enough to get you booked as a speaker. It isn't, and in this episode John explains why: the gap between being qualified and being booked comes down to one distinction almost nobody gets right the first time, whether your talk is informational or transformational.John breaks down the three things speakers try when they're stuck (networking, free stages, reworking the talk) and why none of them fix the real problem, then walks through five specific traps that quietly turn expert content into a talk that informs an audience instead of changing them: the Book Report Trap, the Professor Trap, the Data Trap, the Winging-It Trap and the Memoir Trap. Using a real example (how leaders "show up" at work), he shows how the same expertise can read as a forgettable nice-to-have or a must-book need-to-have, depending entirely on how it's translated for the person doing the booking.Want to find out more about the Known, Booked & Paid Blueprint?

Credentials establish expertise, not bookability. Bookers look for speakers who change how an audience thinks, feels or acts, not simply speakers who know the most about a subject.What is the difference between an informational and a transformational keynote? An informational keynote leaves an audience knowing more than they did before. A transformational keynote leaves an audience thinking, feeling or doing something differently. Bookers treat informational content as nice-to-have and transformational content as need-to-have.What is the Book Report Trap in keynote speaking? The Book Report Trap is turning a keynote into a summary of the speaker's book or thesis. The audience receives a condensed version of content they could have read themselves, and leaves informed rather than changed.What is the Winging-It Trap? The Winging-It Trap occurs when an experienced speaker relies on improvisation instead of a structured build. Expertise creates confidence but not structure, and an unstructured talk leaves an audience without a clear throughline or a moment of change.Do speakers need to be naturally charismatic to get booked? No. Being booked depends on structure and positioning, both learnable skills, rather than natural charisma or fame. Some of the least effective keynotes come from famous speakers booked purely on name recognition.Visit https://strategic-speaker.scoreapp.com to take the 2-minute Strategic Speaking Business Audit and find out what's blocking you from getting more bookings, re-bookings, referrals and bigger fees.

The rules were never designed to make everyone equally powerful.In this episode of High Level Conversations, 19Keys sits down with Dr. Boyce Watkins for an unfiltered discussion about economics, ownership, education, artificial intelligence, politics, family infrastructure, Black business, and the systems required to create real freedom.The conversation begins with a critical question: What matters more in the age of AI—credentials, experience, mastery, or the ability to build your own system?From there, they break down the difference between earning money and controlling an economy, why community leaders must have sustainable business models, what it truly means to be pro-Black, and why Black wealth cannot grow without intentional investment, mentorship, protection networks, family offices, and institution-building.They also examine:Why criticism and cancellation are unavoidable when your work has real impact.Why Black men remain one of the most under-mentored groups in America.How billionaires, celebrities, and athletes should think about community responsibility.Why investing in Black businesses is more powerful than treating the community like a charity case.Whether artificial intelligence and technology stocks are experiencing a bubble.How to invest during economic uncertainty without gambling on hype.Why systems create powerful individuals—not the other way around.How families can build banks, investment structures, and generational leverage.Donald Trump, the MAGA movement, political independence, reparations, and voting power.Why economic strength requires strategy, negotiation, coordination, and the willingness to think much bigger.This conversation challenges the idea that freedom will come from being accepted by existing institutions. It presents another pathway: understand the system, study how power operates, build your own infrastructure, and position the next generation to thrive instead of merely survive.WHY YOU SHOULD WATCHThis episode is for entrepreneurs, investors, parents, educators, community builders, creators, and leaders who want to understand the deeper relationship between money and power.You will learn:The difference between income, ownership, influence, and economic control.How to protect your mission from criticism, censorship, and outside interference.Why mentorship and sponsorship can change the trajectory of Black men.How family offices and family banks preserve wealth across generations.How to approach AI, technology, stocks, and long-term investing intelligently.Why political power must be negotiated before support is given.How communities can transform influence into infrastructure and economic force.BUILD YOUR NETWORK, COMMUNITY, AND DIGITAL ECONOMYVisit ZIION.IOFREE AI AND INCOME WEBINARFor access to the free webinar from 19Keys about artificial intelligence and using AI to create income, join the free webinar inside the Black Business School by visiting:19keys.com/bbsEPISODE TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Economics Is Warfare02:00 — Credentials, Artificial Intelligence and the Meaning of Mastery10:00 — Turning Your Greatest Weakness Into a Strength15:00 — Truth, Activism and the Cost of Going Against the Grain18:00 — Can Black America Still Build Economic Sovereignty?25:00 — Understanding Power, Criticism and Opposition28:00 — Separating Constructive Criticism From Distraction32:00 — “You Can't Cancel a Soldier”36:00 — Why Community Empowerment Needs a Sustainable Business Model40:00 — What Does Being Pro-Black Actually Mean?42:00 — Health, Wealth and Relationships52:00 — Systemic Racism and Systems Thinking54:00 — Manufacturing Black Privilege Through Ownership56:00 — Why Black Men Are Severely Under-Mentored01:00:00 — Building Mentorship, Sponsorship and Protection Networks01:07:00 — Black Unity, Michael Jordan and Intentional Employment01:08:00 — Do Black Billionaires Owe the Community?01:14:00 — Family Offices and Who Controls Black Wealth01:17:00 — Investment Versus Charity01:22:00 — Investing in Black AI, Technology and Venture Capital01:23:00 — Stop Thinking Small: Building Billion-Dollar Ideas01:27:00 — Creating Independent Media and Economic Systems01:29:00 — Why Real Power Moves Strategically01:31:00 — Economics Is Warfare: Prepare to Be Attacked01:32:00 — Building Outside the Matrix With ZIION01:39:00 — The Hidden History of Black Coalitions and Nation-Building01:43:00 — Is Artificial Intelligence an Economic Bubble?01:46:00 — How to Invest During Market Uncertainty01:49:00 — Elon Musk, Key-Man Risk and Technology Empires01:51:00 — Powerful Individuals Are Products of Powerful Systems01:54:00 — Quantum Computing and Undervalued Future Technologies01:59:00 — What Could the Next 10 to 20 Years Look Like?02:04:00 — Healthcare, Capitalism and the Incentive to Manage Disease02:09:00 — Money, Ethics and Financial Consciousness02:14:00 — Family Banks, Infrastructure and Generational Capital02:18:00 — Why Schools Teach Employment Instead of Ownership02:20:00 — Turning Your Family Name Into an Institution02:23:00 — Self-Worth, Asset Value and Building Your Own Name02:25:00 — The MAGA Question02:28:00 — Studying Power Without Worshipping Powerful People02:30:00 — How to Give Your Children a Financial Head Start02:37:00 — Stop Depending on Systems That Were Not Built for You02:43:00 — Power, Competition and Self-Preservation02:45:00 — Reparations, Negotiation and Leverage02:48:00 — Putting the Black Vote in Escrow02:50:00 — The New Political Classes02:55:00 — Leaders, Impact and Building Economic Infrastructure02:57:00 — Final Words and Closinghttps://youtu.be/_RBftcP3Gng Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/19keys/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Credentials do not create clients. Results do. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down the truth about coaching certifications and why too many experts delay their launch waiting for permission they do not actually need. Let's be real… Another certificate will not automatically build your business. Another acronym will not magically bring clients. Another course will not replace execution. The market cares about transformation. Not just paperwork. In this episode, you'll learn: Why clients buy results, not credentials When certifications matter and when they become a hiding place How case studies create more trust than generic titles Why action, proof, and transformation build real authority The truth is simple: The market does not care how many certificates are on your wall. It cares whether you can solve a painful problem. It cares whether you can create a measurable result. It cares whether you have proof. High-level operators do not wait for a board to validate their worth. They get results. They document the wins. They build case studies. They let the market decide. Because the strongest credential is transformation. Stop hiding behind another course. Solve the pain. Build the proof. Charge your worth. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

When is legal recruiting “simple but hard”? In this episode, a former BigLaw attorney turned recruiter pulls back the curtain on how associates can become highly marketable and how firms quietly lose top candidates—plus what both sides must do differently in today's ultra-competitive legal market.   In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Chris White discuss: Transition from law practice to legal recruiting Why credentials and experience shape lateral options Common mistakes associates make in their careers and job searches How firms lose strong candidates and what great hiring processes look like Market trends, compensation pressure, and lifestyle trade-offs in law   Key Takeaways: Legal recruiting looks straightforward on paper, but in practice, it's a complex, often difficult matchmaking process between firms and candidates. Credentials, law school performance, and the caliber of prior firms heavily influence how many and what kinds of lateral opportunities an attorney will realistically have. Associates quietly hurt their own marketability when they neglect their LinkedIn, allow their materials to go stale, and fail to build a network while billing heavy hours. Law firms routinely lose top candidates by moving too slowly, failing to tell a compelling story about what makes them unique, and not putting prospects in front of the right partners. Smaller and mid-sized firms can't always compete on salary, but they can win by offering better lifestyle, lower billable requirements, and real upside for business generators.   "The more information a candidate has, the more likely they are to accept." —  Chris White   Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again.   Join the Be That Lawyer Community and connect with ambitious lawyers who are serious about growing their book of business, strengthening their brand, and becoming confident, consistent rainmakers.   Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

Keren Eldad (Coach Keren), Executive Coach to elite performers, Bestselling Author of GILDED, and Host of COACHED Keren Eldad is not just an executive coach—she is someone who climbed the highest rungs of ambition, lost everything she thought mattered, and rebuilt a life that finally felt like her own. Before becoming one of the most recognized voices in high-performance transformation, Keren was a picture of outward success—married, living in Zurich, running a career that sparkled on paper. From the outside, she had "made it."   Socials:   Website: https://kereneldad.com/ Instagram: @coachkeren   Episode Summary:   Keren Eldad returns to Heartbeat for Hire as a repeat guest to dive deep into what happens after the breakthrough. While doing the personal work is essential, the real challenge is sustaining who you become and not slipping back into old patterns. Keren explores the concept of "identity dissolution"—breaking free from the patterns and identities that have defined you throughout your life. She reveals why success is actually harder to survive than failure, why insight alone isn't enough without identity-level change, and why high performers unconsciously rebuild their own cages even after doing transformational work. This episode is for anyone who's had breakthroughs but struggled to make them stick.   Key Takeaways:   - Breaking free requires resolving underlying patterns - Success is harder to survive than failure - Insight without identity integration is just borrowed confidence - Overachievers are addicts - High performers rebuild their cages - Find your reference group   Episode Chapters:   00:00 Introduction: The Three Things You'll Learn Today 00:55 Welcome to Heartbeat for Hire & Keren's Credentials 01:28 The Real Assignment: Sustaining Who You Become 02:00 Keren's Background: Corporate Overachiever to Coach 04:45 What It Means to Be an Overachiever 07:15 Overachievers Are Addicts, Not Just High Performers 10:30 Why Success Is Harder to Survive Than Failure 14:00 The Possum on Your Chest: Suffocation & Misalignment 16:45 Keren's Reckoning: Divorce, Grief, and Awakening 19:20 Building an Overachiever's Recovery Guide 21:30 Insight Without Identity Integration Is Just Borrowed Confidence 23:45 The Choice We're Making: Saving Our Own Lives 24:45 What's Next: Book Tour, VIP Day in Austin, Turning 50 25:30 Life Transition: Kids Graduating & New Chapters 26:00 Where to Find Keren & Resources 27:00 Closing & Call to Action

DescriptionOpening night of the 2026 Tucson Bible Conference, Pastor Harold Warner preaches from 2 Corinthians 3 on the power and glory of the New Covenant.Many Christians spend their lives trapped between legalism and cheap grace. One side says “try harder.” The other says “it doesn't matter.” Neither produces genuine transformation.Pastor Warner reveals Paul's answer: true change happens when believers behold the glory of Jesus Christ. The Christian life is not sustained by rules, guilt, programs, personalities, or emotional experiences. It is sustained by continually fixing our eyes on Christ.This message is a powerful call to remove every veil, abandon spiritual pretense, and rediscover the unfading glory found only in Jesus.Chapters[Offering]00:00 The Importance of Generosity in Giving04:08 Unlocking Inaccessible Wealth07:09 Miracles Triggered by Faithful Giving10:10 The Challenge of Obedience in Giving13:14 The Aftermath of Generosity[Sermon]16:05 The Credentials of Ministry16:33 The New Covenant and Its Glory24:43 The Quality of the Gospel Preached31:27 Legalism vs. Libertinism40:30 Fading Glory vs. Lasting Glory43:22 Capturing the Heart for True Surrender46:38 The Transformative Power of Beholding Glory55:26 The Role of Worship in Transformation58:10 Unveiling the Heart for True Transformation01:05:27 Authenticity in the Christian Life01:13:57 The Call to Behold and Respond to JesusShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

We kick things off with the WFAN internship program rules, debating who really runs the show between Boomer and Gio. Then, we take calls from Anthony in Belleville about a potential WFAN Knicks parade float and Rami about scoring a parade press pass. Jerry returns for an update on James Dolan's playoff no-sex rule, prompting Gio to wonder just how far that restriction goes. Plus, Breece Hall shares his "positive jealousy" of the Knicks after attending Game 5 with Jaxson Dart, Spencer Jones homers in a Yankees win, and Norway defeats Iraq in the World Cup. Finally, we wrap up the hour with the high-energy audio of a very excited Japanese soccer fan!
