As roads are blocked, ICE operations obstructed, and police ordered to stand down, a dangerous precedent is taking shape: mob rule replacing law enforcement. From the fallout of the George Floyd case to today's coordinated street actions, this episode explains why President Trump is openly considering invoking the Insurrection Act, what the law actually allows, and why every day of hesitation emboldens chaos. The most chilling moment? A video of protesters conducting an illegal traffic stop—demanding identification, searching a vehicle, and enforcing their own version of “law.” This isn't protest.

    Systematizing Prefab: Building Repeatable, Digitally Enabled Delivery Models

    Prefabrication only reaches its full potential when it's treated as a system, not a shortcut. In this episode of Bridging the Gap, we explore what it really takes to scale prefab beyond one-off projects and into a repeatable delivery model. The discussion dives into how standardization can unlock flexibility, why prefab strategy must be defined early, and how digital tools like BIM, automation, and emerging AI capabilities can enable more predictable outcomes. We also unpack one of the biggest challenges facing industrialized construction today: owning and managing data across the full lifecycle. If you're thinking about prefab as a long-term strategy—not just a construction tactic—this episode offers a grounded, practical perspective. You'll Learn: What “systematizing prefab” means beyond standardizing components Why repeatability is the key to scaling prefab successfully How early decisions shape prefab outcomes downstream Where digital tools truly add value in prefab workflows Why data ownership and lifecycle continuity remain major gaps How standardization can support customization rather than limit it   MEET OUR GUEST Our guest is a leader working at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and industrialized construction. With a background spanning marketing, IT, systems engineering, and modular delivery, he brings a unique perspective on how prefabrication can improve speed, quality, and predictability—especially in highly standardized environments like healthcare. His work focuses on building the process infrastructure required to make prefab repeatable, scalable, and digitally connected. TODD TAKES Prefab Only Scales When You Stop Treating It Like a Project Prefab falls short when it's approached as a one-off solution instead of an operating model. The real breakthroughs happen when organizations step back and think in terms of delivery strategy, repeatability, and long-term systems. When prefab becomes infrastructure rather than an experiment, speed, predictability, and quality follow. Standardization Doesn't Kill Flexibility, It Enables It There's a persistent myth that standardization leads to cookie-cutter outcomes. In reality, a strong standardized foundation creates more flexibility, not less. When the core system is consistent, teams can adapt interiors, workflows, and use cases to real-world needs without reinventing the wheel every time. Digital Tools Matter, But Ownership Matters More Construction has no shortage of powerful digital tools. The real gap is ownership and continuity of data across the lifecycle. Without clear responsibility for the digital thread from design through manufacturing and operations, handoffs break down and value gets lost. Technology enables scale, but systems thinking makes it sustainable.   More Resources  Thanks for listening! Please be sure to leave a rating and/or review and follow up our social accounts.

    It's a controversial topic: the impact of uterine incision (hysterectomy) on the neonate delivery interval (also called the U-D interval). Does it matter? Just to be clear, we're talking about time from uterine entry to fetal extraction, not skin incision to fetal extraction. Past publications have produced conflicting results, often limited by small sample sizes, heterogeneous indications for delivery, and reliance on surrogate markers (like apgar scores) rather than clinical morbidity. But a new study published in the Gray journal at the end of 2025 (December 30, 2025) gives some new insights. In this episode, we will review this retrospective study and play the “Devil's advocate” as we summarize the rebuttal data. As the reports are conflicting, we will end the podcast with a real-world interpretation and application of this data. Listen in for details. 1. Bart, Yossi et al.

    In this episode of True Birth, we explore the powerful and often underestimated role partners play in childbirth. Birth is not something that happens only to the person giving birth. It is a shared experience, and the presence, preparation, and emotional steadiness of a partner can profoundly shape how labor unfolds. This conversation is about moving beyond the idea of the partner as a passive observer and into a role that is grounded, supportive, and intentionally engaged. We talk about what partners actually do during labor and birth, from providing physical comfort and emotional reassurance to helping maintain focus when things become intense or unpredictable. We discuss how partners can support without trying to fix, manage, or control the experience, and why simply being calm, present, and responsive matters more than doing everything perfectly. Communication is a central theme of this episode. We cover how couples can talk openly before birth about fears, expectations, and preferences, and how partners can communicate effectively during labor with both the birthing person and the care team. Advocacy is explored in a realistic and balanced way, focusing on how partners can help ensure the birthing person feels heard and supported without creating additional stress. We also address the emotional side of being a partner at birth. Many partners feel pressure to perform, to say the right thing, or to know exactly what to do. This episode reframes that pressure and offers a more compassionate and realistic view of the partner role, especially when birth does not go according to plan. We share practical guidance partners can use in real time, including ways to offer comfort, support coping through contractions, and stay connected during the postpartum period as recovery and adjustment begin. Whether you are preparing for your first birth or reflecting on a previous experience, this episode is an invitation to approach childbirth as a team and to recognize the meaningful role partners play in creating a safe, supported, and connected birth experience.

    Benjamin Perks, UNICEF's Head of Advocacy for Child Development and Protection, joins Alberto Lidji on the Do One Better Podcast to make the case that the single most powerful investment a society can make is in the relationship between children and their caregivers. Drawing on more than three decades of neuroscience, public health, and social science, Perks explains why secure caregiver child attachment is not only the foundation of healthy childhoods but also one of the strongest predictors of lifelong wellbeing, economic productivity, and social stability. When those relationships break down, the costs ripple outward into education systems, health services, labor markets, and criminal justice systems. When they are strengthened, the benefits compound across generations. At the center of the conversation is the Global Caregiver Forum, an inaugural intergovernmental gathering convened by UNICEF and the World Health Organization with the Government of Spain. Ministers from roughly 25 countries, alongside leading scientists and practitioners, are coming together to accelerate the global scale up of evidence based parenting and caregiver support programs. Perks describes why these programs represent a breakthrough in public policy. A 2022 WHO led systematic review of more than 435 randomized controlled trials shows that evidence based parenting programs consistently increase nurturing care, reduce violence and maltreatment, improve children's developmental outcomes, and significantly improve parental mental health. In other words, they deliver on child protection, early learning, and adult wellbeing at the same time. The discussion moves from science to systems. Today, only about one quarter of countries report having widely available parenting programs, even though the interventions are relatively low cost and highly scalable. Perks explains how UNICEF and partners are working to build the global architecture needed to change that, including common frameworks, measurement tools, and coverage indicators similar to those used for vaccines and other public health interventions. A critical theme is the return on investment. While the largest gains of early childhood support appear over decades, Perks points to growing evidence that parenting programs also generate benefits within political and budget cycles. These include reductions in low birth weight, fewer child placements in institutional care, better parental mental health, and lower productivity losses, all of which translate into tangible fiscal savings for governments. Listeners also hear what modern caregiver support actually looks like. All families have access to support, with additional intensity for those facing higher risks due to poverty, trauma, or mental health challenges. Delivery channels range from home visiting and health systems to community hubs and digital tools, all adapted to local culture and context. Beyond the forum, Perks reflects on a broader shift underway in global child policy. Too often, governments are presented with long lists of disconnected reforms. He argues that real progress requires focusing on a small number of interventions that are scientifically proven, politically feasible, and capable of driving multiple outcomes at once. Parenting programs and universal access to quality early childhood education sit at the top of that list. The conversation also touches on the newly established International Day of Play, a United Nations observance led by UNICEF and UNESCO. Perks explains why play is not a luxury but a biological and social necessity that underpins learning, creativity, resilience, and human connection across the life course. The episode closes with a powerful reminder. In a world marked by polarization and instability, the science of child development offers something rare: a practical, evidence based pathway to improve human wellbeing at scale. By investing in caregiving, attachment, and play, societies have an unprecedented opportunity to prevent trauma, and give every child the chance to grow up safe, loved, and nurtured.

This isn't about having it all figured out; it's about surviving, regulating, and finding ways to feel safe in a world that no longer feels predictable. Finally, I talk about the way Brody's death reshaped how I show up in the world. The attitude I try to carry. The energy I try to contribute. The way loss softened me, sharpened me, and changed how I treat others—and myself. I also talk about a lot of other random stuff too LOL This episode is for anyone navigating faith after loss, parenting with grief, or trying to live gently and intentionally after their world has been shattered. You're not alone here.

    Is your team writing code before they've actually validated the problem? In this episode, Ashok sits down with Mohammed Ali Cherwala (MAC), co-founder of Wednesday Solutions, to dismantle the traditional "build first" mentality. Mac explains why "Product Engineering" is distinct from simple software development and how his firm uses "Sprint Zero" to validate ideas cheaply using methods like fake door tests and prototypes—ensuring you don't waste capital on features nobody wants. We also dive into a radical business model shift: moving from hourly billing to outcome-based pricing, where clients pay for moved metrics rather than hours worked. Mac shares how this aligns incentives and reduces founder burn. Plus, we explore how hiring has evolved in the age of AI, why "framework thinking" beats instinct for Product Managers, and real-world examples of using on-prem LLMs to automate compliance and QA at scale. In this episode: Sprint Zero: How to use discovery sprints to validate business gaps before building. Outcome-Based Pricing: Why charging for results is better than charging for time. Hiring with AI: A new interview simulation to spot engineers who think like product owners. Automating Quality: How defining "what good looks like" enables AI agents to take over manual QA.

    It's been a travel-heavy hiatus—Mark's been living in Spain and Shashank's been bouncing across Asia (including a month in China)—but they're back to unpack a packed week of AI news. They start with the headline hardware story: the Groq (GROQ) deal/partnership dynamics and why ultra-fast inference is becoming the next battleground, plus how this could reshape access to cutting-edge serving across the ecosystem. From there, they pivot to NVIDIA's CES announcements and what “Vera Rubin” implies for data center upgrades, cost-per-token curves, and the messy real-world math of rolling hardware generations. Shashank then brings the future to life with on-the-ground stories from China: a Huawei “everything store” that feels like an Apple Store meets a luxury dealership, folding devices that look straight out of sci-fi, and a parade of robots—from coffee bots to delivery robots that can ride elevators and deliver to your hotel room. They also touch on companion-style consumer robots and why “cute” might be a serious product strategy. Finally, Mark announces the launch of Novacut, a long-form AI video editor built to turn hours of travel footage into a coherent vlog draft—plus export workflows for Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut. They close by talking about the 2026 shift from single model calls to “agentic” systems, including a fun (and slightly alarming) lesson from LLM outcome bias using poker hand reviews. Topics include: Groq inference, NVIDIA + CES, Vera Rubin GPUs, GPU depreciation math, China robotics, Huawei ecosystem, hotel delivery bots, companion robots, Novacut launch, Cursor vs agent workflows, and why agents still struggle with sparse feedback loops.

    Oscar Barrera — How Business Anthropology Helped A Sourdough Company Grow

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 5, 2026 45:47


    What if the fastest route to meaningful growth isn't about launching another ad campaign, hiring more salespeople, or optimizing your funnel? What if the real accelerator is simply listening—really listening—to what's already happening around you? In this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Oscar Barrera, PhD—a brilliant corporate anthropologist and innovation strategist based in Mexico. Oscar and I share a core conviction: anthropology isn't just something you do; it's a way of seeing the world. It allows leaders to notice subtle patterns—those taking shape in their markets, inside their own companies, and in the everyday lives of their customers—even when the clues are hiding in plain sight. Oscar's work drives home a powerful point: the real obstacles to growth are often hidden. Not because they're imaginary, but because we haven't been trained to spot them. Meet Dr. Oscar Barrera: An Anthropologist Forging His Own Path Oscar's journey is as unconventional as it is inspiring. He earned his doctorate in social and cultural anthropology at the University of Washington, with years of fieldwork in Guatemala's highlands. But like so many academics, he realized that the expected career path—university teaching—wasn't really available. So Oscar got creative. He returned home to Mexico and started his own consulting practice from the ground up. He learned the language of business by reading voraciously, listening intently, and immersing himself in the entrepreneurial world—joining business groups, building relationships, and cultivating a brand that helped business leaders understand how anthropology could transform what they do. Through his firm, Anthropology Corp Cooperativa, Oscar helps organizations unlock deep understanding about their customers, employees, and markets—then turn those insights into human-centered strategies for growth and innovation. He also hosts a fantastic podcast called Nuevas Posibilidades ("New Possibilities"), which explores innovation, anthropology, and the future of work. A Real-World Case: Sourdough in a Sweet Bread Nation Oscar shared a wonderful story that brings anthropology to life. A bakery owner in Mexico was crafting sourdough bread: wholesome, preservative-free, and free of additives. But he was up against a market where bread is usually sweet, steeped in tradition, and sold cheaply. Here's the twist: the bakery wasn't struggling with demand. Instead, something unexpected was happening—distributors (mostly women) were approaching the bakery on their own, asking if they could resell the bread in their hometowns. The owner's question wasn't theoretical—it was urgent: Who are these women, and how can I grow this kind of distribution model intentionally? As he put it, he wanted "the formula." Why Anthropology Was Essential Oscar's first instinct was to do what anthropologists do best: ethnography. Go to the site, observe, listen, and understand the full context. But travel simply wasn't possible. So he adapted, because good anthropology is all about flexibility. He used remote interviews—speaking with distributors and customers over the phone and online. And what he learned should be a wake-up call for every leader: People will tell you what matters to them—if you listen with the right kind of attention. Oscar was surprised that sometimes meeting online made people more comfortable. It was safe, structured, and time-limited—there was no lingering vulnerability once the conversation ended. Watch our Podcast on YouTube The Discovery: A Purpose-Driven Sales Network The bakery owner assumed his distributors were motivated by money. Oscar found something far richer. These women were selling bread not just for income, but because they: Had personal or family health concerns Wanted to support and uplift their communities Believed deeply in natural, preservative-free foods Had stories that connected them emotionally to the product They weren't just pushing a product—they were sharing a solution and part of their own identities. They were savvy, too, introducing the bread at workplaces, gyms, and local events. Tasting led to trust—and more sales. This was no "features and benefits" transaction. This bread was an experience—one that resonated with values and stories. Five Key Ingredients for Scalable Growth Oscar translated these insights into actionable steps. He identified five elements that would determine whether the bakery's model could truly scale: Shared values and philosophy: The top distributors believed in a mission: boosting health and helping people, not just selling bread. Time and logistics: Without preservatives and in a hot climate, bread spoiled quickly. Delivery schedules and pickups became hidden bottlenecks. Packaging matters: Flimsy boxes led to crushed loaves—hurting both trust and credibility. Social selling support: Distributors used WhatsApp and Facebook, but needed better tools and content. The company needed to provide easily shareable visuals and educational materials. Customer experience and sampling: People didn't buy from a description—they bought after tasting. Real-life sampling was the engine of growth. What I love here is that Oscar didn't need a formal operations report to uncover these constraints. He surfaced them by deeply listening to lived experience—by drawing out stories. Bigger Than Bread: How Meaning Moves Markets One of the most profound insights was symbolic. Sourdough isn't "traditional Mexican bread." Yet, through the personal stories of these women, it became a bridge: a way to enjoy bread as part of daily life, to choose health without abandoning cultural identity, and to stay connected to tradition while eating differently. That's not just good marketing—it's anthropology in action. Lessons for Leaders Everywhere Oscar summed it up beautifully: Success often hides in plain sight, in details we overlook. Anthropology equips leaders and companies to see what's invisible and hear what's unsaid. True innovation doesn't always mean inventing something totally new—it often means listening to what your customers are already telling you. So here's my bottom line: If you're chasing growth, don't just ask, "How do we sell more?" Instead, ask, "What's actually happening in the lives of the people we want to serve that we haven't noticed yet?" When you listen for those answers, real transformation can begin.

    As we think about year-end planning, I want to challenge how you're setting goals. Most people set goals based on what they want: "I want more brand growth, more leads, smoother operations." I have a different outlook. Your business is a system, and systems are only capable of producing output according to what the constraints allow. So instead of saying what you want, ask: "What are the constraints keeping us from getting there?" Not getting enough leads? Sales process isn't good? Delivery isn't smooth? Write down all the problems, then identify the ONE highest-leverage constraint—the bottleneck where fixing it changes throughput dramatically. This episode breaks down why identifying the one constraint is really fucking hard (you'll feel FOMO, you'll want to tackle three problems instead of one), and why most sub-eight-figure businesses can only solve one constraint at a time. I just went through this exercise myself this morning, and here's an example: if your sales process is leaking shit everywhere, does it make sense to 10X your brand growth and leads first? No—because you're just wasting that effort. Fix the conversion constraint before the lead growth constraint. Learn how to audit constraints, discipline yourself to pick the one with greatest impact, and put all the wood behind that arrow instead of diluting effort across 27 problems.//Welcome to Repeatable Revenue, hosted by strategic growth advisor , Ray J.

    An unannounced delivery of flowers at your front door is supposed to be a delightful surprise, but for Atlanta socialite Lita McClinton, it was anything but delightful. It was deadly. But who would use flower delivery as a ruse to shoot her to death – and why would it take an international manhunt and nearly two decades to bring the person responsible for her death to justice? #CourtTV - What do YOU think?Binge all episodes of #SomeoneTheyKnew here: https://www.courttv.com/trials/someone-they-knew-with-tamron-hall/Watch 24/7 Court TV LIVE Stream Today https://www.courttv.com/Join the Investigation Newsletter https://www.courttv.com/email/Court TV Podcast https://www.courttv.com/podcast/Join the Court TV Community to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo5E9pEhK_9kWG7-5HHcyRg/joinFOLLOW THE CASE:Facebook https://www.facebook.com/courttvTwitter/X https://twitter.com/CourtTVInstagram https://www.instagram.com/courttvnetwork/TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@courttvliveYouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/COURTTVWATCH +140 FREE TRIALS IN THE COURT TV ARCHIVEhttps://www.courttv.com/trials/HOW TO FIND COURT TVhttps://www.courttv.com/where-to-watch/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Doorstep delivery services boomed during the Covid-19 pandemic and they're still popular in many parts of the world: ordering hot meals, or groceries, via a mobile app to your door at the click of a button. For the customer, it's a fast and convenient service. For the rider, it's flexible work, but there's no guaranteed income, the work is physical and the hours are often antisocial - especially during major holidays like Christmas and New Year. Why, then, do so many people do it? We speak to riders in the US and UK about their experiences delivering food, drinks and other essentials to customers at all hours of the day.If you'd like to get in touch with the programme, you can send us an email to businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresenter: David Harper Producer: Victoria Hastings(Picture: A delivery rider on a scooter, travelling through a city at night.
