In this episode of Future Fuzz, Vince Quinn sits down with Dan Lowden, Chief Marketing Officer at Blackbird.ai, to unpack one of the fastest-growing threats facing organizations today: narrative attacks driven by disinformation, misinformation, and deepfakes.Dan explains how AI has dramatically lowered the barrier to creating convincing false content that can manipulate stock prices, damage brand reputation, target executives, and even threaten national security. He introduces the concept of Narrative Intelligence—a new category identified by Gartner—as a proactive way for companies to detect harmful narratives before they spiral out of control.The conversation explores how organizations should respond when false narratives gain traction, why real-time data is critical for crisis decisions, and how cross-functional “fusion centers” are becoming essential in managing modern reputation risk. They also discuss the upside: how brands can identify and amplify positive narratives to build trust and loyalty.If you care about brand protection, crisis management, AI risk, or the future of trust in the digital age, this episode is essential listening.Guest BioDan Lowden is the Chief Marketing Officer at Blackbird.ai, a leading Narrative Intelligence company that helps organizations detect and mitigate disinformation-driven narrative attacks.With over two and a half years at Blackbird.ai, Dan plays a key role in educating enterprises, government agencies, and global organizations about the emerging threat of AI-powered misinformation, deepfakes, and coordinated narrative manipulation.Under his leadership, Blackbird.ai has helped define and lead the newly recognized category of Disinformation Narrative Intelligence, empowering companies to proactively identify harmful narratives across social media, news, and the dark web—before they cause financial, operational, reputational, or physical harm.TakeawaysAI has dramatically lowered the barrier to creating convincing deepfakes and disinformation.Narrative attacks can cause financial, reputational, operational, and even physical harm.A single post can evolve into a large-scale narrative across multiple platforms.You cannot rely on social platforms to “take it down” once a narrative spreads.Real-time narrative intelligence enables faster, more strategic crisis decisions.Companies are forming cross-functional “fusion centers” to respond to modern reputation threats.Authenticity and trust are fragile—one bad narrative can undo years of brand equity.Positive narratives should be identified and amplified strategically.Brands must earn trust consistently; inauthentic behavior gets exposed quickly.Knowing the full narrative landscape (positive, neutral, negative, harmful) creates both protection and opportunity.Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Dan Lowden and Blackbird.ai 00:34 What Is Narrative Intelligence? 02:18 Why Disinformation and Deepfakes Are Exploding 03:56 The Rise of AI-Powered Narrative Attacks 05:30 Why Companies Must Take This Threat Seriously 07:29 How Organizations Should Respond to False Narratives 09:48 The Importance of Real Data in Crisis Decisions 10:46 Identifying and Leveraging Positive Narratives 13:37 Authenticity, Trust, and Brand Vulnerability 16:38 The “Fusion Center” Approach to Crisis Management 18:13 How to Learn More About Blackbird.ai 19:14 Final Thoughts on Trust in the AI EraLinkedInFollow Dan Lowden on LinkedInFollow Vince Quinn on LinkedIn

A legal expert says failure to locate the developer linked to the Ormonde building collapse in the south of Johannesburg, could delay the process for affected families seeking justice. Nine construction workers died on Monday (2 March), after a concrete slab collapsed at a construction site in Ormonde. It has been reported that the developer linked to the project is still at large. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the incident, while questions remain around compliance with safety regulations and accountability. The case has been handed over to the police, who are working with engineers to determine the cause of the collapse. Luyanda Danca brings us this report followed by our Sunday discussion with Lufuno Ratsiku, Infrastructure Sepecilist from GenTECH Consulting and Tamlyn Bouwer, Acting Chief Executive Officer at the National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC)

In this episode, Frank sits down with Maddy Myer, a seasoned publicist and the host of the brand new podcast, Maddy Mania.

Memorable Quotes "You are basically their image makers. You are who's in charge of making sure they look good on camera and off camera... and making sure that their brand and their image stays in a positive light." > "I feel like something that you think could be small could become like a major crisis... being a publicist, you have to be adaptable and flexible, for sure." "Exclusivity is everything in the modern publicist realm. And so Comic-Con is a really good, high-profile event to kind of announce those kinds of things."

In this episode of The Steward Chair, Maria Thacker Goethe, President and CEO of Georgia Life Sciences, shares her journey of transitioning from a dedicated "number two" to leading a massive ecosystem through a global pandemic. We explore how a commitment to mission and the guidance of mentors drives meaningful, long-term success even when the original plan is upended. We discuss the critical role of a connector in the life sciences sector, the importance of "work-life harmony" over balance, and why true stewardship means preparing the next generation to lead. This conversation provides actionable takeaways for leaders committed to stewardship, integrity, and impact. Key Takeaways Purpose Over Tactics: In times of crisis, your "North Star" must be your organizational purpose, allowing your tactics to remain nimble and adaptive. The Responsibility of Mentorship: Leadership is a societal responsibility; investing time in the next generation is essential because no leader is "here forever". Embracing "Ready Enough": You don’t have to feel fully ready to step into a leadership seat; surrounding yourself with a community that believes in you is the key to moving forward through fear.

Send us a textThis week, we weren't planning on recording an episode about leadership.We were dealing with a flooded salon, a burst pipe, a snowstorm, a displaced team, and the reality that our entire space would be shut down for weeks. And in the middle of it all, we were reminded of something we talk about often: leadership isn't tested when things are easy. It's tested when everything goes wrong.In this episode, we walk you through exactly what happened when our salon flooded, how we handled the first few hours, how we communicated with our team and our clients, and how our systems, relationships, and culture allowed us to keep serving people even when our building was unusable.We also discuss stress, decision-making under pressure, dividing roles as leaders, why honesty and calm matter more than perfect answers, and how strong culture isn't something you say; it shows up when your business is under real strain.Your business should serve you, so that you can serve others. And when a crisis hits, your leadership becomes the structure your people lean on.Key TakeawaysLeadership isn't proven when things are calm; it's proven in crisis.There is no “business side” and “creative side.” Leadership, culture, and systems touch everything.The first job in any crisis is safety and clarity, not blame.Dividing leadership roles enables problems to be solved more quickly.Strong systems make your business portable.Calm, honest communication builds trust even when answers aren't available yet.Over-promising creates future damage.Relationships with vendors and partners matter long before you need them.Culture shows up when your team is uncomfortable, scared, and stretched.Your people don't need certainty — they need steady leadership.Time Stamps00:00 — Welcome + why this episode exists 01:00 — Todd's opening take: the “business side” myth 02:30 — Jen's opening take: being given more than you think you can handle 04:00 — Problems never disappear — they just change 05:00 — The flood: arriving to a flooded salon 07:00 — Immediate priorities: safety, power, water, and source 09:00 — Leadership under stress + divide and conquer 11:00 — Waiting on shutoffs, frustration, and responsibility 14:00 — Why owners can't freeze in crisis 16:00 — Reality sets in: this isn't a quick fix 17:30 — Finding temporary chairs and a space to work 19:30 — How we told the team (and why we stayed vague early) 21:30 — Showing up for staff during uncertainty 23:00 — Systems moving with us into another salon 25:00 — Relationships with vendors, plumbers, and contractors 27:00 — Crisis creates clarity 29:00 — Stress, denial, and sitting in the moment 31:00 — Being honest with your team without over-promising 33:00 — Why confidence matters more than perfect answers 35:00 — Clients: how we communicated and why it worked 37:00 — Not reaching out too early and avoiding confusion 39:00 — What surprised us about our team 41:00 — Trust, culture, and emotional leadership 43:00 — Final thoughLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website
In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I break down why I'm not satisfied with the FBI's official narrative surrounding Charlie Kirk and why I believe too many questions have been quietly labeled “off limits.”I explain why I agree with Candace Owens that the Tyler Robinson explanation feels incomplete, at best, and why the idea that he acted entirely alone deserves serious scrutiny rather than blind acceptance. I also address my personal suspicions regarding Erika Kirk and the toxic culture within TPUSA, shaped by my own experiences and tensions with TPUSA staff behind the scenes.Drawing from TPUSA events, I recount direct disagreements I had with staff over what I viewed as dangerously inadequate security, and why Charlie, tragically, never seemed to fully grasp how influential and vulnerable he had become. Finally, I discuss my theories and unanswered questions surrounding possible Israeli intelligence involvement (I do believe Mossad played a part in all of this).We must always dare to think our own thoughts and ask our own questions. Don't let them take that away from you.--https://www.bible.com/

Én megkeresem a személyzetet!" kiáltotta, majd a legközelebbi kiállítási terem felé vette az irányt.En: "Eszter, keep Bálint calm! I'll find the staff!" he shouted and then headed towards the nearest exhibition room.Hu: Eszter óvatosan megtartotta Bálintot, próbálta nyugtatni.En: Eszter cautiously held Bálint, trying to calm him.Hu: "Lélegezz lassan, minden rendben lesz," súgta.En: "Breathe slowly, everything will be alright," she whispered.Hu: Közben Zoltán teljes sebességgel rohant végig a termen, remélve, hogy gyorsan talál valakit, aki segíthet.En: Meanwhile, Zoltán ran through the hall at full speed, hoping to quickly find someone who could assist.Hu: A helyzet gyorsan elérte csúcspontját, amikor Bálint légzése tovább romlott.En: The situation quickly reached its peak when Bálint's breathing further deteriorated.Hu: Zoltán végre rátalált egy múzeumi dolgozóra.En: Zoltán finally found a museum staff member.Hu: "Kérem, segítenie kell! A barátom allergiás reakciót kapott!" kiáltott kétségbeesetten.En: "Please, you must help! My friend is having an allergic reaction!" he shouted desperately.Hu: A dolgozó gyorsan rádión keresztül értesítette az épület orvosát.En: The staff member quickly informed the building's doctor via radio.Hu: Néhány percen belül a segítség megérkezett, és Bálintot biztonságba helyezték.En: Within a few minutes, help arrived, and Bálint was secured.Hu: Az orvos gyorsan ellátta, és szerencsére a reakció kb. egy órán belül csillapodni kezdett.En: The doctor promptly treated him, and fortunately, the reaction began to subside within about an hour.Hu: Míg Bálint gyógyszeres kezelés alatt állt, Zoltán és Eszter csendben ült mellette, megkönnyebbülten sóhajtottak, amikor barátjuk biztonságban volt.En: While Bálint was under medication, Zoltán and Eszter sat silently beside him, sighing in relief when their friend was safe.Hu: Amint Bálint jobban érezte magát, mindhárman átmentek a múzeum kávézójába.En: As Bálint started to feel better, the three of them moved to the museum cafe.Hu: Csendben ültek az asztaluknál, egy forró ital mellett, és egy idő után Zoltán megszólalt: "EZ valóságos kihívás volt, de most már tudom, milyen fontos döntéseket hozni nyugodtan és gyorsan."En: They sat quietly at their table, with a hot drink, and after a while, Zoltán spoke: "That was a real challenge, but now I know how important it is to make calm and quick decisions."Hu: Eszter bólintott, miközben barátságosan megveregette Zoltán hátát, majd Bálint felé fordult.En: Eszter nodded, patting Zoltán's back warmly, then turned to Bálint.Hu: "Csak örülök, hogy biztonságban vagy," mondta mosolyogva.En: "I'm just glad you're safe," she said, smiling.Hu: A három barát ott ült a kávézó melegségében, hálásan gondoltak vissza a nap eseményeire.En: The three friends sat there in the warmth of the café, gratefully reflecting on the day's events.Hu: Mindhárman megtapasztalták, hogy az élet törékeny lehet, de a barátság és a gyors gondolkodás minden nehézséget legyőz.En: They all realized that life can be fragile, but friendship and quick thinking can overcome any difficulty.

BOOK: In Covid's Wake: How Our Politics Failed Us In In Covid's Wake: How Our Politics Failed Us, authors Frances Lee and Stephen Macedo examine the unprecedented mobilization of emergency powers during the COVID-19 pandemic, when nearly half the world's population was under quarantine by April 2020. Their eye-opening analysis questions how institutions responded to the crisis, why pre-existing pandemic plans were ignored, and how COVID-19 policies often benefited the "laptop class" while leaving essential workers exposed, revealing how scientific discourse became increasingly politicized as reasonable dissent was marginalized.In this Keynote from Cornell's College of Arts & Sciences, Princeton Professor Frances Lee will speak about her best-selling book, offering a comprehensive — and candid — political assessment of how U.S. institutions fared during this historic global crisis. This timely discussion will explore the successes and failures of America's pandemic response and its implications for future crisis management.

When Renee Goode was killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, two completely different stories emerged from the same event. One side called her a domestic terrorist who weaponized her Honda Pilot, while the other saw a mother trying to escape. As a crisis manager from the Twin Cities, I break down the competing narratives from President Trump, JD Vance, Kristi Noem, Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor Jacob Frey to reveal the five hidden cues in any crisis communication: who gets humanized first, how they treat uncertainty, what the process looks like, what they ask you to do with your anger, and what happens to people who disagree. This isn't just political analysis, it's a framework you can apply to workplace drama, family conflict, or any situation where someone's trying to control the narrative. You'll learn why Walz's calm messaging worked after he learned from past mistakes, how Frey's profanity-laced response was strategically brilliant, and why the administration's gaslighting playbook falls apart under scrutiny. Once you learn to spot these patterns, you can't unsee them—in politics or in your personal life.Trigger Warning: This episode discusses a fatal police shooting and contains strong language.Want More Behind the Breakdown?

Did you know about 80% of employees will become parents at some point in their careers, but many do not feel supported? A third do not even think they will return to work after parental leave. And of those who do, many leave within a year. Regardless of the path they choose, one thing is clear: A lot of parents feel that starting a family has at least temporarily derailed their career.Therefore, companies need most: resilience, empathy, focus, crisis management, and a long-view perspective. Their book invites leaders to reimagine working parents not as a liability but as an untapped competitive edge. Written for executives and managers, The Parenthood Advantage explores how companies can build cultures that value parents—and thrive because of it. But the book also serves as a roadmap for parents and soon to be parents—male and female—who want to know how best to prepare for leave and how to transition back to the workplace smoothly. Some of the actionable insights for parents include:Set expectations early: Initiate a conversation with your manager three to four months before leave starts. That allows time to plan coverage, discuss communication preferences (clean break vs. lightly looped in), and begin a dialogue that makes the transition smoother on both sides.Know your company's policy around parental leave: And do not assume your manager does. Not all HR departments prioritize equipping managers with this information. Share with them what you learn.Schedule a resolute “returnship” conversation: Get it on the calendar before you leave so that it can take place a couple of weeks prior to coming back. This is a chance to check in on projects and ask for any flexibility you may need (like adjusted days or hours). https://booklife.com/project/the-parenthood-advantage-102115http://www.yourlotandparcel.org
