In this episode, host Mark Ledlow discusses the significant role of the Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) with guest Martin Gill, a professor of criminology and the founder of the awards. Sponsored by Lead Security Group, the conversation delves into the origins and purpose of the OSPAs, emphasizing their credibility and ethical standards. Martin explains how the awards aim to eliminate bias and recognize true excellence in the security industry globally. The discussion also touches on the complexities of security in today's unpredictable world, the role of AI and blockchain, and the impact of global events on the security landscape. The episode concludes with insights into the upcoming OSPAs award ceremony at GSX in New Orleans, and the importance of building a culture of excellence within the security profession.Learn about all this and more in this episode of The Fearless Mindset Podcast.KEY TAKEAWAYSCredible, independent, and ethical award schemes are vital for recognizing excellence in security.Outstanding security is essential for public and organizational safety, not just asset protection.The Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) are global, impartial, and set a high standard for the industry.Good security deters offenders and is a fundamental business function.Recognition motivates excellence and boosts morale across teams and organizations.The security landscape is evolving with new challenges like AI, crypto, and global instability.QUOTES“Security is an essential business function that's designed to help the organization achieve its objectives by enabling it to operate even in the most difficult environments.”“Credible industry award schemes are extremely valuable, but the trouble with the security sector is that the word credible isn't typically associated with award schemes.”“The object of good security is ultimately to make those offenders think, ‘No, it's not worth it.'”“Recognizing those who are truly good at security is not trivial. It is a fundamental point about an aspiring profession.”“Chaos is business for us. Unfortunately.”“It becomes an arms race between offenders and the security world as to who gets ahead.”“Our judges are our biggest advert. They mark completely independently.”Get to know more about Martin Gill through the links below.https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-gill-b4405b82/To hear more episodes of The Fearless Mindset podcast, you can go to https://the-fearless-mindset.simplecast.com/ or listen on major podcasting platforms such as Apple, Google Podcasts, Spotify, etc. You can also subscribe to the Fearless Mindset YouTube Channel to watch episodes on video.

TL;DR Most “AGI ban” proposals define AGI by outcome: whatever potentially leads to human extinction. That's legally insufficient: regulation has to act before harm occurs, not after. Strict liability is essential. High-stakes domains (health & safety, product liability, export controls) already impose liability for risky precursor states, not outcomes or intent. AGI regulation must do the same. Fuzzy definitions won't work here. Courts can tolerate ambiguity in ordinary crimes because errors aren't civilisation-ending and penalties bite. An AGI ban will likely follow the EU AI Act model (civil fines, ex post enforcement), which companies can Goodhart around. We cannot afford an “80% avoided” ban. Define crisp thresholds. Nuclear treaties succeeded by banning concrete precursors (zero-yield tests, 8kg plutonium, 25kg HEU, 500kg/300km delivery systems), not by banning “extinction-risk weapons.” AGI bans need analogous thresholds: capabilities like autonomous replication, scalable resource acquisition, and systematic deception.

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein were quick to condemn Kash Patel's claim that there was “no credible evidence” of Epstein trafficking victims to anyone but himself. They pointed out that the public record alone undermines Patel's statement. Virginia Giuffre's sworn depositions, the Maxwell trial testimony, and multiple FBI interview summaries (FD-302s) make direct references to high-profile individuals. Survivors also reminded the public that members of Congress, including Rep. Thomas Massie, have already stated in hearings that victims named more than 20 powerful men—including billionaires, politicians, and a prince—to whom they were trafficked.They accused Patel of either ignoring or deliberately minimizing the mountain of corroborating evidence. Beyond official court documents and sworn testimony, survivors criticized him for deferring to prior DOJ conclusions without releasing the raw FBI reports or victim statements. They demanded transparency in the form of unsealed FD-302s, noting that nothing in Epstein's controversial non-prosecution agreement prevents their disclosure. Survivors said Patel's statement not only insults them but perpetuates the cover-up, and they called for immediate accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein Survivors Blast FBI Director Kash Patel For Claiming 'No Credible Information' Financier Trafficked Women to Others

“When it comes to climate – a brand cannot effectively power growth if it has an albatross around its neck, managing reputational risk is a huge part of a CMO's job today.” In this episode of Can Marketing Save the Planet? we kick off our “CMO mini-series” and catch up with Nick Lembo, Head of Marketing at Isometric, a carbon registry on a mission to reveal trust in carbon markets. Nick provides an expert breakdown of the carbon removal market he's involved in, explaining how organisations can, and are, purchasing scientifically verified credits to offset their unavoidable emissions. We discuss a whole host of areas with Nick, focusing in at times on the role of CMOs and the tensions between ambitious growth targets and authentic, defensible sustainability commitments. From brand and growth, which we know are intrinsically linked, to managing reputational risk, these are a core function of marketing leadership, which as environmental and societal challenges grow, become ever more complex. Nick offers pragmatic advice on building internal partnerships, finding your stories, and communicating progress without falling into the traps of greenwashing. We discuss the situation many have watched unfold this year, with organisations seemingly pulling back from sustainability commitments or at least, pulling back from communicating them. From Nick's perspective he reveals, "The reality that we're seeing on the ground is that organisations are absolutely still committed to climate goals and still making progress, most companies, when you actually dig a layer deeper, still have really aggressive emissions reductions and climate goals." When it comes to communicating what you are doing, Nick explains, “the reputational risk of not meeting your sustainability claims for your stakeholders is really real and can be a real drag on your growth, I think managing that is a huge part of a CMO's role today, if they don't want to dilute their brand.” This episode, along with the others in this mini-series provide food for thought for CMOs and senior marketer. So… Tune in as we talk to Nick about. The reality vs. the headlines – what are organisations doing. Credible carbon removal - the difference between legacy carbon credits and new, scientifically rigorous carbon removal, and why this matters for making defensible marketing claims. Why sustainability is not a trade-off but a critical force multiplier for your brand and a key lever for mitigating reputational risk. How CMOs can partner with sustainability officers as the internal experts, and learn to tell compelling, human stories backed by data. The need for CMOs to understand their organisational (sustainability) commitments, stepping forward to do the work and, communicating the small wins on the road to progress.

Strong states are surprisingly bad at coercion. History shows they prevail only a third of the time. Dr. Pauly argues that coercion often fails because targets fear punishment even if they comply. In this "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario, targets have little reason to obey. The Art of Coercion: Credible Threats and the Assurance Dilemma (Cornell UP, 2025) by Dr. Reid B. C. Pauly presents a fresh explanation for the success—and failure—of coercive demands in international politics. Dr. Pauly illustrates this logic in nuclear counterproliferation efforts with South Africa, Iraq, Libya, and Iran. He shows that coercers face an "assurance dilemma": When threats are more credible, assurances not to punish are less so. But without credible assurances, targets may defy threats, bracing for seemingly inevitable punishment. For coercion to work, as such, coercers must not only make targets believe that they will be punished if they do not comply, but also that they will not be if they do. Packed with insights for any foreign policy challenge involving coercive strategies, The Art of Coercion crucially corrects assumptions that tougher threats alone achieve results. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Transnational repression, concerns about press freedom and arbitrary detentions are mentioned in the 2024 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices.  

A recent open access article in the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization reported on results from research comparing the effect of (the same) opinions expressed by visibly senior, female versus male experts. Common wisdom might hold that women suffer from an “authority gap” compared to their male peers, but is that really the case?To explore the findings of this research I am delighted to be joined by one of the authors of the study, Professor Hans Henrik Sievertsen.About our guest…Hans Henrik Sievertsen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Bristol, and is also a senior researcher at the Danish Center for Social Science Research and a Research Fellow at the Institute of Labor Economics in Bonn. Hans is an applied microeconomist, working mainly on topics related to education, health, and gender.The articles discussed in the interview are as follows:"Do female experts face an authority gap?

What happens when citizens lose faith in the institutions that serve them? And how can we rebuild that trust?Episode SummaryOn this episode, I'm speaking to someone who cares passionately about this subject and who has made it her life's work to research and solve it.  From politicians who lie, to corruption scandals, to public services that simply don't work the way we expect—especially when we're paying taxes and getting poor value—something feels broken. I want to know: how do we understand and respond to that breakdown of faith?Libby Maman, founder and CEO of Luminata, whose work turns abstract values like transparency, accountability, participation and inclusiveness into tangible, measurable trust indicators.We dig into why conventional approaches to rebuilding trust often backfire, and how designing systems that measure the right things can actually shift organisational behaviour for the better.You'll hear not only how trust can be mapped, measured and managed—but why that matters. We challenge assumptions: do metrics actually undermine trust? Or can they signal seriousness, credibility and responsiveness? Libby shares concrete examples of stakeholder‑led indicators, behavioural logic in gamification, and the limitations and opportunities of measuring democratic values.Guest Biography: Libby MamanLibby Maman is a researcher and systems designer working at the intersection of public policy, behavioural science and institutional design. She is the founder and CEO of Luminata, a consultancy that partners with governments and civil society to build measurable trust frameworks.  Libby's broader background spans academia, consulting and public sector work.Her research focuses on translating democratic norms—such as transparency, accountability and inclusiveness—into practical metrics that organisations can both implement and act on.

Introducing Credible Witness, a new podcast produced by Mark Labberton and the Rethinking Church Initiative. In this episode of Conversing, Mark features the full premiere episode of Credible Witness, and is joined by host Nikki Toyama-Szeto and historian Jemar Tisby. Exploring how Christian witness to the gospel of Christ has become compromised—and what might restore its credibility. Reflecting on five years of candid, challenging conversation among diverse Christian leaders during the wake of George Floyd's murder and rising Christian nationalism, the three discuss the soul-searching, disillusionment, and hope that emerged. Together, they examine the cultural fractures, theological tensions, and moral failures that have pushed many to extremes, elevating strident voices as an increased number of people to leave the church. They articulate the mission and vision of Credible Witness, testify to a persistent hope in Jesus and the power of honest community, face painful truths, and imagine a church that more truly reflects the love, justice, and mercy of God. Key Moments “We absolutely get that… but we're still on board with Jesus. And Jesus has always been with us and hasn't left us.” “This isn't about leaving Jesus. This is about following Jesus.” “We've got a better story to tell.” “It was the church that was putting the church at risk.” “The church has a reputation in the United States… and not a good one by and large.” About the Guests Nikki Toyama-Szeto is the host of Credible Witness, and is executive director of Christians for Social Action, equipping the church to pursue justice and follow Jesus in the tension of our times. Jemar Tisby is the author of The Color of Compromise and How to Fight Racism, and founder of The Witness: A Black Christian Collective. He is the host of Pass the Mic. Show Notes “This isn't about leaving Jesus. This is about following Jesus.” —Jemar Tisby Nikki introduces Credible Witness as a space for honest stories of faith amid moral complexity and social tension Mark recalls the origins of the conversation in summer 2020: COVID-19, George Floyd, church division, and racial injustice Jemar Tisby clarifies the mission for imagining a more credible Christian witness Nikki reflects on trust-building in a space that welcomed “tricky truths” and honesty without pretense The group's five-year journey begins as a short experiment but grows into a lasting community of deep discernment “We weren't trying to replicate any harm.” —Jemar Tisby The group names white Christian nationalism and silence on injustice as threats to the church's credibility Ephesians 2 and the power of “coming together of the unlikes” as a witness to the resurrection “It was the church that was putting the gospel at risk.” —Mark Labberton Nikki explains how church neutrality began to speak volumes: “Choosing silence was actually a loud voice.” Discussion on the failure of integrity: “Too many things in isolation” eroded credibility Jemar highlights story as central to public theology: “We've got a better story to tell.” The group wrestles with algorithmic distortion and toxic digital narratives shaping Christian identity “Not just message, but embodiment”: The church's credibility depends on lived ethics, not just theological claims Mark emphasizes self-examination: “Are we credible?” Dissonance and disagreement as gifts: “What kept people in the room was the gift of dissonance.” —Nikki Toyama-Szeto Jemar recalls moments of tension over how to prioritize justice issues while remaining unified in Christ The group's diversity as a deliberate strategy: different traditions, backgrounds, and responsibilities within the church Nikki names divine timing: the conversation is more urgent now than when it began “We're not all supposed to be the same... That's how everything gets covered.” —Jemar Tisby Mark frames the church's failure as internal implosion—not external threat “Why is the church seemingly so unchanged?” —Mark Labberton Nikki describes how marginalized voices carry wisdom for the way forward Jemar articulates the podcast's goal: a mirror and a window for listeners to see both themselves and the larger church Nikki closes with an invitation to slow down and listen generously: “Pull up a chair...” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment Magazine and Fuller Seminary.

In this episode, we're digging into the second pillar of the Army's leadership model: KNOW. Now, this isn't just military theory—it's a practical reminder that leadership isn't about winging it. It's about showing up prepared, grounded, and equipped. Whether you're in uniform, running a business, or leading in your home, the principles are the same. Leadership starts with who you are—your character, your values. That's the BE. But once you've got that foundation, you need to sharpen what you KNOW—the skills and knowledge that make you credible and effective. This is where competence is built, and trust is earned. To master the “KNOW” side of leadership, you've got to build in four key areas: Interpersonal, Conceptual, Technical, and Tactical skills. These aren't just categories—they're tools you carry every day. They help you lead with clarity, confidence, and relevance in a fast-changing world. Let's break them down. At the heart of leadership is the ability to connect with people. I'm talking about real connection—not just giving orders or checking boxes. This means listening, asking the right questions, and learning what drives the people around you. If you want to build trust, get out of your office. Walk the floor. Ask your team what matters to them, how their job fits into the bigger picture, and what gets them fired up—or frustrated. People aren't problems to be solved—they're relationships to be built. And those relationships? They're your force multipliers. Leadership is a thinking game. It requires mental agility—being able to step back, look at the big picture, and make sense of complex, high-stress situations. This includes critical thinking—spotting your own blind spots and questioning your assumptions. It's creative thinking—asking, “What if we did this differently?” And it's sound judgment—the ability to make the hard calls when the pressure's on. No amount of skill can replace the power of good judgment forged through reflection and experience. You don't need to do everyone's job—but you do need to understand it. You should know the systems, tools, and processes your team relies on. If you're leading a creative team, learn the basics of the software they use. If you oversee logistics, understand how the supply chain actually moves. When you understand the tools, you earn credibility. And more importantly, you can make better decisions. This technical foundation strengthens your tactical edge. This is where the rubber meets the road—decision-making in real time, under pressure. Tactical leadership isn't theory—it's action. It's knowing how to move when the path isn't clear and making calls when there's no time to phone a friend. The best way to build tactical skill is through experience—real or simulated. Get into environments where the stakes are high. Test yourself. Learn what it feels like to make decisions when everything's on the line. Over time, you'll start recognizing patterns, trusting your instincts, and leading with confidence—even in chaos. Here's the deal: competence grows with responsibility. The more people you lead, the more sharpened your skills need to be. You don't “arrive” as a leader—you keep growing. So how do you build that growth into your life? Try this: Seek Feedback – Don't lead in isolation. Invite input. Ask people you trust, “Where can I grow?” Study and Reflect – Make reflection a daily practice. Think through decisions. Learn from outcomes. Master the Tools – Learn your trade. Stay sharp. Stay relevant. Train Under Pressure – Volunteer for the hard things. Get comfortable being uncomfortable. Leadership is preparation. It's not just about knowing what to do—it's about being the kind of leader who's ready when it counts. When you combine who you are with what you know, you build trust. And when people trust you, they'll follow you—even when the way forward isn't clear. So focus on your KNOW. Stay a student. Keep sharpening your edge. Because leadership isn't about being perfect—it's about showing up ready, reliable, and real.   Connect with Tim: Website: timstatingtheobvious.com Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/timstatingtheobvious Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHfDcITKUdniO8R3RP0lvdw  Instagram: @TimStating Tiktok: @timstatingtheobvious   00:00 Introduction to Leadership Framework 01:06 Understanding the ‘Know' Phase 02:58 Interpersonal Skills: Building Connections 04:41 Conceptual Skills: Critical Thinking and Creativity 06:47 Technical Skills: Mastering Your Tools 08:03 Tactical Skills: Decision-Making Under Pressure 09:49 Practical Steps to Enhance Leadership Skills 12:25 The Importance of Preparation in Leadership #LeadershipDevelopment #ArmyLeadership #LeadershipSkills #ProfessionalGrowth #CareerDevelopment #CriticalThinking #CommunicationSkills #DecisionMaking #PersonalDevelopment #TimStatonTheObvious

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell have had enough with mainstream media. After a South Carolina judge dismissed Michael Colucci's murder charge last week in the strangulation death of his wife in 2015, Mandy and Liz noticed a trend … members of the media seemed to be deviating from the facts of the case in favor of carefully coddling Michael by pushing his narrative for him.  But for Sara-Lynn Colucci, they did no such thing. Instead they were careless with their words and grossly mischaracterized what her state of mind was in the weeks leading up to her death. After a special episode of Cup of Justice this week with Sara-Lynn's daughter, Bishop Venters, in her first public interview, the mission became clear. Bishop is ready to fight for justice for her mom. And she's going to need an army behind her to get S.C Attorney General Alan Wilson to focus on his job and present Michael's case to the grand jury again for a reindictment.  Also on today's show, we found YET ANOTHER moment on Horry County Police Department body cameras where Weldon Boyd got help from an officer at the crime scene with Scott Spivey's body sitting 30 yards away, shot to death by Weldon and his buddy Bradley Williams.  We're diving deep into assembling the timeline… Lots to cover so let's dive in!

We break down the perception problem, the misinformation, and why so many people still don't get what makes Wagyu worth it.We also shine a light on the Ranch Steak — an overlooked cut that's a game-changer when it comes off a Wagyu cow — and ask the hard question: Should steakhouse servers actually know where their meat comes from?
