While the state eases monetary conditions to prop up a fragile system, ordinary citizens are left scrambling to preserve the value of their savings. Bitcoin/CNY trading volumes jumped over 20% in response, as people sought refuge from a weakening yuan. But while some can quietly escape to harder money, others are trapped in a system that treats access to money as a privilege. In Hunan, an elderly woman in a wheelchair died outside a bank after being forced to appear in person to withdraw her own money for medical care. Too weak to pass mandatory facial recognition scans, she collapsed after repeated failed attempts.

This week, John Arensmeyer, our man in Washington, reports on what small business owners need and what they are likely to get from Republicans and Democrats.

The Dashboard Diaries #1: Greenville, SC May 19, 2025   Alaska feels a bit removed from the rest of the United States because it is separated from the contiguous 48 states by a minimum of 500 mile. Anchorage is even further away. That distance can leave residents not only distinct and different, but often detached. It can be hard for Alaskans to feel connected to the rest of the country. I recently went on a nearly coast to coast drive with my daughter and her family as they moved from South Carolina to Washington State. As we drove 500-mile days for a week a few connections between places on our drive and my home city of Anchorage emerged. During this four-part mini-series we will connect with Anchorage's soul through her history, stories, and people by connecting to four places along the road from our drive across this vast land of ours. Welcome to the Dashboard Diaries a special four-part mini-series brought to you by the AnchorED City Podcast. On this episode we consider a surprising connection between Greenville, SC and Anchorage.     https://greaterfriendshipbaptist.org https://www.facebook.com/TheShipAnchorageAK#   #anchoredcity https://anchorageutc.org https://www.facebook.com/AnchorageUTC @AnchorageUTC   Theme Music by Tech Oasis from Pixabay   Resources Used To Make This Episode: Southern Baptist Convention Founded - Timeline Event https://www.thearda.com/us-religion/history/timelines/entry?etype=1&eid=18   Basil Manly https://encyclopediaofalabama.org/article/basil-manly/   Founding: 1859-1878 https://www.sbts.edu/history/1859-1878/ https://archives.sbts.edu/sbts-history/our-story/founding-1859-1878/   The story of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/life/2016/06/29/greenvilles-seminary/86511098/   Jones, R.P., 2021. White too long: The legacy of white supremacy in American Christianity.

In this episode, Mitch and Kevin dive into the behind-the-scenes journey of transforming raw marketing chaos into real-time clarity. They talk through the uphill battle of data tracking in the med spa space—where disconnected systems, HIPAA compliance, and manual reporting made performance tracking a nightmare. You'll hear how they moved from spending days compiling KPIs to building a dynamic, automated dashboard using tools like ChatGPT, Google Sheets, and Looker Studio—slashing a $20K/month problem down to just $120. If you're ready to move beyond gut feelings and start tracking real marketing ROI, this one's for you.

Sales leaders—your CRM and dashboards are probably working against you. John Sherer shares tactical ways to clean the clutter, focus on the right metrics, and finally get reports that drive action (not confusion).

This week, Gene Marks -- normally a fan of automating anything that can be automated — says it's too soon to think about turning important tasks over to artificial intelligence bots, mostly because they're still making too many mistakes. In fact, Gene cites a survey of business leaders who said they came to regret offloading employees in favor of AI. In many cases, those leaders wound up trying to re-hire their employees. Plus: Gene also talks about how businesses using AI can get into regulatory trouble if they're not careful.

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast we've got two old friends who've contributed more than their fair share to the emo world and beyond and lived to tell the tale: Evan Weiss and Chris Carrabba. Carrabba is of course the main creative force behind Dashboard Confessional, whose early albums—specifically The Swiss Army Romance and The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most—basically invented the genre's confessional acoustic-based era. He could've made those records a dozen times over the past 20 years, but instead Carrabba filled out Dashboard's sound over the years, stretching out where the muse took him. Now an elder statesman, Carrabba returned to that simpler sound but brought years of wisdom with him for 2022's All the Truth That I Can Tell, which he talks about in this great chat. Dashboard will head out on a long summer tour with Goo Goo Dolls starting July 13, but not before playing a show with Weiss's band in Vegas the day before. Weiss's band would be Pet Symmetry, a trio he's been part of for the past decade or so, and which just released an excellent new album: Big Symmetry is a big, loveable, tuneful set of songs that all start with the word “big.” It's a joyful blast of pop-punk that feels like a deliberate antidote to tough times. It may also be a bit of a reaction to what fans would consider Weiss's main band, Into It. Over It., which flies that emo flag a bit higher. But whatever, those tags are pretty silly when we ought to be talking about songs. Speaking of, check out the song “Big Wish” from the album Big Symmetry right here. In this wide-ranging chat, Carrabba and Weiss talk about the holiness of punk community, the accidental origins of Dashboard Confessional plus that band's long hiatus and rebirth, and how the financial collapse of 2008 had opposite effects on their careers. It's true! Enjoy. Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Chris Carrabba and Evan Weiss for chatting.

Klingt unbequem? Ist es auch. Aber genau das macht den Unterschied. Franz Sauerstein zeigt in der neuen Folge, wie ein echtes Interview läuft: live, direkt, ehrlich. Nicht Theorie. Praxis.

In this episode of SCW for Pharma, Evren Ozkaya welcomes Andrew Kewson, Head of Global Supply Chain Management at Basilea Pharmaceutica. With a background spanning packaging engineering, food and beverage, and global supply chain roles in pharma, Andrew brings a unique perspective to the industry's operational challenges and digital future.The conversation opens with Andrew's view on the agility advantage held by smaller pharma companies. Unlike their larger counterparts, they are not weighed down by legacy systems—making it easier to build efficient, responsive supply chains from the ground up. Especially in the wake of COVID-19, agility and resilience have become non-negotiable traits for navigating uncertainty.Andrew highlights how digital tools and AI are beginning to reshape the industry, particularly in areas like root cause analysis and anomaly detection. He points out that while big pharma often struggles with fragmented or unreliable data, smaller companies can build reliable systems from the start, giving them a head start in adopting advanced technologies.Packaging inefficiencies are another key area of discussion. Compared to faster-moving consumer industries, pharma lines often sit idle. Andrew explains how better data visibility on the shop floor can expose bottlenecks, helping teams unlock hidden capacity without major capital investments.Evren and Andrew also dig into the human side of operational excellence. Andrew stresses the value of cross-functional ownership—from finance to HR to operators—in fostering a lean culture. When everyone is aligned on production goals and outcomes, improvements come faster and motivation grows.The conversation closes with a look at AI's future in pharma. Both agree that without reliable, rich data, AI's potential is limited. Evren introduces SCW's 3D framework—Data, Dashboard, Decision—to explain the digital transformation journey, emphasizing the foundational role of high-quality data before automation can truly take hold.

But not every business knows how and where to tell it? This week, Sarah Segal talks through what business owners should know about public relations: How can they get better at explaining what they do? How can they figure out what others will find interesting about their business? Should they share their story themselves or reach out to a journalist? If they decide to reach out to a journalist, should they do it themselves or hire a PR person to do it? If they decide to hire a PR person, how much should it cost?

The problem, says David Barnett, who helps people buy and sell businesses, is that if we all hang on to our cash, we will definitely have a recession. David, who's based in Canada, also talks about how the current disruption looks from north of the border, what advice he's giving to people trying to buy or sell businesses, and where there might be opportunities lurking within the uncertainty.

This week, Tracy Bech, co-author of the 60 Minute CFO, tells us that for a surprising number of business owners, the answer is no, their financial statements for last year have not yet been prepared. And that's a problem, especially in a year with so much change and so much uncertainty, because it means those businesses have been flying blind for much or all of the first quarter. Many of these owners, Tracy tells us, think that so long as they have cash in their checking account, they're okay, but that can be a dangerous way to run a business.

This week, Gene Marks explains why he thinks business owners should be patient. Gene says that whatever economic pain they may be experiencing right now will be worth it in the long run, and that's because he believes President Trump is taking necessary steps to fix the economy and level the international-trade playing field, which will greatly benefit small businesses over time. (Podcast host's note: I do have a few questions for Gene about that.)
