Thing is, the sales forecast isn't looking so good. We'll hear more. A new survey from Deloitte says school shopping spending is expected to dip this year, when adjusting for inflation. Plus, President Donald Trump threatens new tariffs against Canada, and banks grow more cautious about making new loans.

We dig into how Vytelle is changing the game in cattle production. Founded in 2015, Vytelle has grown into a global force in genetic improvement, recently being ranked as the #392 fastest-growing tech company in North America by Deloitte.We begin by breaking down the basics of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and why hormone-free IVF offers cattle producers a more natural, lower-stress, and scalable alternative to traditional embryo programs. Through Vytelle ADVANCE, producers can collect eggs weekly—even from pregnant cows—leading to shorter generation intervals and more rapid genetic gain.Next, we explore Vytelle INSIGHT, a powerful AI-powered platform that turns data into genetic decisions. Combined with Vytelle SENSE—their real-time feed intake and in-pen weight tracking system—INSIGHT helps identify the top-performing animals and guides smart, targeted mating decisions.You'll hear real-world stories from feedlots and seedstock operations using Vytelle to identify elite cattle, boost feed efficiency, and drive profitability. Whether you raise show cattle, run a dairy, or manage a cow-calf operation, Vytelle's tools deliver practical advantages that make a difference.We also discuss how these technologies are shaping the future of livestock genetics—making it more predictive, efficient, and sustainable. This is an episode for anyone looking to do more with less and take the guesswork out of herd improvement. Want Farm4Profit Merch?

Maor Shlomo is the founder of Base44, an AI-powered app builder that he bootstrapped to an over $80 million acquisition by Wix in just six months. As a solo founder (with severe ADHD), he hit $1 million ARR just three weeks after launch and grew the product to more than 400,000 users, all while navigating two wars in Israel and never raising a dollar of outside funding.What you'll learn:1. The growth playbook that took Base44 from three friends to 400,000 users without spending any money on marketing2. How he hasn't written a single line of front-end code in three months—and how to structure your code repository to make it easier for AI to write your code3. His AI productivity stack that allowed him to compete against heavily funded competitors4. Why being a solo founder in AI might be the ultimate advantage (and the wedding story that almost killed the business)5. The story of signing the $80M acquisition deal while war broke out with Iran6. How to identify when to sell vs. stay independent (and why Maor chose acquisition despite being highly profitable)7.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Syed Zaeem Hosain, Founder and Chief Evangelist at Aeris. This conversation comes at a critical moment. Deloitte's 2024 Cyber Threat Trends Report reported a 400 percent surge in IoT malware attacks across industries. Forrester has gone further, warning that a major IoT breach could disrupt a large class of devices by 2025. With the stakes higher than ever, Aziz shares his vision for protecting a hyperconnected world. We explore the growing risks in sectors like healthcare, energy and transportation, where compromised devices could have serious real-world impact. Aziz explains why IoT security can no longer be treated as an afterthought and how Aeris is tackling the problem with AI-powered solutions like IoT Watchtower, designed to detect and respond to threats at scale. He also addresses the shifting regulatory landscape, from the EU's NIS2 Directive to the upcoming Cyber Resilience Act. These frameworks are beginning to push organisations toward stronger protections and greater accountability. But are they moving fast enough? My guest outlines where he believes the future of IoT security is heading and what enterprises need to do now to avoid being caught off guard. From embedded AI to next-generation cellular infrastructure, this is a conversation that connects the dots between innovation, risk and responsibility. So how prepared is your organisation for the coming wave of IoT threats? Are we securing what matters most, or sleepwalking into a preventable crisis? Let me know what you think. Is IoT security finally getting the attention it deserves, or are we still too focused on convenience over caution? Join the conversation and share your thoughts.

What happens when AI agents promise to transform accounting but create more cognitive burden than productivity gains? Blake and David explore the reality behind the AI agent hype as QuickBooks, Digits, and Big Four firms launch their "digital teammates." They also dig into Xero's massive $2.5 billion acquisition of Melio and what it means for the payments landscape. You'll learn why managing AI agents might be like managing offshore contractors—you wake up to work that's 80% done but everyone has questions. Plus, they discuss how external investors are reshaping the profession, why traditional CPA protections might go the way of car dealership laws, and the ongoing problems with audit quality enforcement despite millions in PCAOB fines.Sponsors Cloud Accountant Staffing - http://accountingpodcast.promo/cas Human at Scale - http://accountingpodcast.promo/humanChapters(00:00) - Introduction and Welcome (00:42) - David's Return and Big News (01:01) - The Acquisition of Emilio by Xero (01:33) - Implications of the Acquisition (04:52) - David's Journey with Bill Pay Solutions (06:42) - Emilio's Unique Features and Market Impact (10:47) - Xero's New Features and Updates (20:56) - QuickBooks AI Agents: A Game Changer?

The Robyn Engelson Podcast Ever wish you had a life mentor with over decades of experience whispering million dollar tips in your ear? That's exactly what you will get each week when you tune into The Robyn Engelson Podcast. I'm your host, a sought after burnout recovery coach for high-achieving women and help you heal from burnout and survival mode, so you can reclaim your energy, joy, and rediscover your voice. Each week, I bring you inspiring guests, insights, and tools to empower you to be energized, compress time, and start living instead of existing. Episode Title: How Do You Rebuild After Losing Everything? Host: Robyn Engelson Guest: Rashmi Airan Episode Summary: In this episode, we sit down with Rashmi Airan, former attorney, Wall Street investment banker, and now a speaker, leadership guide, and fierce advocate for redefining success. Rashmi's story is not about perfection. It's about truth, ownership, and rising with purpose. After being indicted for bank fraud and serving six months in federal prison, Rashmi faced the loss of everything she thought defined her: her career, her reputation, her status. But in the ashes, she discovered something far more powerful, her real self. Now, Rashmi uses her story to help others rise. Through her RISE Process: Reframe, Identify, Surrender, Evolve. She invites us to let go of shame, redefine our worth, and lead with authenticity. This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt like failure was the end. Rashmi is here to remind you: it might just be the beginning. You'll learn: How did prison become the start of personal transformation? Why is letting go of ego the key to real growth? What the RISE Process looks like — and how to use it? How did gratitude journaling change Rashmi's life? Why do most women leaders set boundaries without guilt? What happens when you embrace vulnerability as strength? Memorable Quotes: “I got eulogized before I died. And I realized people loved me… not for my success, but for me.” – Rashmi “Not doing something is still doing something wrong.” – Rashmi “It's not about the fall. It's about who you become when you rise.” – Robyn Resources & Mentions: https://rashmiairan.com Actionable Steps for Listeners: 1. Reflect on a Moment You Reframed Was there a time you turned pain into purpose? Write it down. Let it guide you. 2. Start a Gratitude Journal One line a day. Especially on hard days. It changes everything. 3. Identify Your Support Circle Who helps you stay grounded? Reach out. Tell them they matter. 4. Share Rashmi's Story Send this episode to someone who feels like they're in a low moment. Remind them they're not alone. Final Thought: Your worth isn't defined by what you achieve, but by how you show up, even when everything falls apart.

Connect with Rashmi Airan: Facebook Youtube Instagram Linkedin About Rashmi Airan: Rashmi Airan is a force of nature. A keynote speaker, consultant, and unapologetic truth-teller, she shakes up rooms with her raw, riveting story. One that challenges everything you think you know about leadership, ethics, and the hidden traps of ambition. She doesn't just speak about resilience; she lives it, proving that even the most crushing failures can be transformed into a catalyst for growth, authenticity, and unshakable courage. As a first-generation Indian American, Rashmi was raised to chase excellence. She did just that. Graduating with honors from Columbia Law School, thriving in corporate America, and building her own law practice. But success has a dark side. During the housing boom, she made a decision that, at the time, seemed small, but had devastating consequences. A single ethical blind spot, fueled by the pressure to provide for her children, led to a federal prison sentence for bank fraud. Prison shattered everything she thought she knew about herself. And then? She rebuilt: stronger, bolder, and more awake than ever. Through six months behind bars, Rashmi stripped away the layers of ego, guilt, and fear that had defined her. She emerged with a powerful message: our worst mistakes don't define us, our responses to them does. Now a "recovering government, corporate, and real estate lawyer," Rashmi is a globally recognized speaker who fearlessly tackles the complexities of human behavior, decision-making, and ethical leadership. With 30+ years in business, law, and finance, she has a front-row seat to the pressures that push good people into bad decisions, and she's on a mission to wake up individuals and organizations before they fall into the same traps. Her insights are backed by cutting-edge research in behavioral psychology, ethics, and leadership, and she's partnered with global powerhouses like Coca-Cola, Cardinal Health, Merck, Comcast, Sotheby's, and Hershey's. Deloitte has recognized her transformational impact, and her story has been featured on ABC, PBS, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal. Rashmi doesn't do surface-level inspiration. She sparks deep, uncomfortable, necessary conversations. She challenges Fortune 100 leaders, financial firms, legal teams, and women's groups to confront their blind spots, own their decisions, and rise through their struggles with integrity and courage. Beyond the stage, she's an avid hiker, globe-trotter, and proud mother of two. She serves on the Board of Directors for the Overtown Youth Center/Alonzo Mourning Foundation and is an Ambassador for The Key Clubhouse. Her message is simple but urgent: Life will break you. Your choices will define you. And no matter how hard you fall: you can RISE.

When you talk about operations at the edge, the State Department is up there among federal agencies with largest forward-deployed mission sets. With more than 270 posts that diplomats work out of in foreign territories, the State Department has a massive footprint at the edge. And according to Gharun Lacy, State's Deputy Assistant Secretary for Cyber & Technology Security, each of those posts comes with its own unique challenges in securing their digital operations. Earlier this month, I hosted Lacy for a fireside chat at the GDIT Emerge: Edge Forward event, during which we discussed how State is innovating at the edge to boost security of consulates and embassies, how the department incentivizes innovation, the adoption of emerging technologies at the edge, and much more. U.S. authorities unsealed indictments, seized financial accounts and made an arrest in the latest attempt to crack down on North Korean remote IT workers as part of a coordinated action that the Justice Department announced Monday. The workers obtained employment at more than 100 U.S. companies using stolen and fake identities, costing them millions in damages and losses. The crackdown also included the seizure of websites and searches of 29 known or suspected “laptop farms” across 16 states that hosted victim company-provided laptops used to deceive companies. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts and the DOJ's National Security Division arrested Zhenxing “Danny” Wang of New Jersey on Monday pursuant to a five-count indictment of Wang and eight alleged co-conspirators, all Chinese and Taiwanese nationals. A second five-count indictment from the Northern District of Georgia charged four North Korean nationals. The Department of Homeland Security is canceling a $10 billion IT and software contract, a move that comes amid the Trump administration's push to route all deals through the General Services Administration. In a posting Friday, DHS said the decision to scrap all existing IT value-added reseller deals under its FirstSource III contract aligns with recent executive orders and was made following “a thorough analysis of active contract awards and solicitations to assess mission-criticality and continued needs.” The cancellation also includes solicitations and evaluations of proposals submitted via a second category for software, per the posting, and no additional awards will be made. Also in this episode: Deloitte's Ed Van Buren and Google Public Sector's Amina Al Sherif join SNG host Wyatt Kash in a sponsored podcast discussion on why agentic AI is essential for agencies striving to scale operations, lower costs and enhance efficiency.

Who knew that picking up that Yellow pages at age 24 would lead to Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities ? In this episode #169 of #TheShot of #DigitalHealth Therapy, Jim Joyce & I spoke to Pat Sukhum who took us from attic-living startup grit to changing lives at scale - 2200 youths and counting.

When Cathy Engelbert found out she was pregnant, she resigned from a decades-long climb to becoming a partner at Deloitte. In her mind, being a good mom and a good exec couldn't coexist. But one male colleague saw her potential — and told her so. That changed everything. Cathy stayed, asked for the flexibility she needed, and learned to advocate for herself. She went on to become Deloitte's first female CEO. Now? She's leading one of the fastest-growing sports leagues as WNBA Commissioner. In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Cathy also shares: How sports turned her from a shy kid to a bold leader Why the environments of Deloitte and the WNBA actually aren't that different Her first 9-1-1 call as league commissioner – and the one trait that helped her get through it Why implementing Deloitte's paid family leave policy was the “most courageous thing” she's ever done One way she thinks the WNBA can be a model for the men's leagues Follow Cathy on IG: @wnbacommish Follow Carly and Danielle on IG: @carlyanddanielle Learn more about your ad choices.

In this special episode, I'm sharing a powerful conversation I had as a guest on the Two Comma Club podcast with Jonathan Marsh. We got real about what it means to break free from the traditional 9-to-5, the mindset shifts that changed my financial future, and how I turned my personal finance struggles into a mission-driven business helping thousands of others. You'll hear my full journey—from crushing $300K of debt to building Budgetdog Academy into a thriving brand. We also dive into the practical tools that helped me, the challenges I faced leaving corporate life, and the strategies I use today to build a business with real impact. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or just ready to take control of your finances, this episode is packed with stories, lessons, and insights to fuel your path forward. Timeline Summary [0:00] - Introduction [0:43] - Kicking things off with a guest spot on the Two Comma Club podcast [2:19] - Why I believe financial education should be simple and how we built Budgetdog [4:20] - Growing up financially uneducated and learning through self-education [8:08] - The pivotal role environment played in shaping my money mindset [13:04] - The leap of faith: how I left Deloitte after being forced to choose [21:20] - Why resilience and handling resistance is the true key to success [26:17] - Behind the scenes: how we use content, email, and paid ads to grow [30:04] - Game-changing business book: why Traction is a must-read [36:12] - The importance of being real and not selling a fake lifestyle [40:02] - Financial rules of thumb, automation, and building your financial moat [46:22] - How our book, challenge, and academy help people change their lives 3 Key Takeaways Self-education is a superpower. You don't need a formal background to master your money—you need curiosity, discipline, and the right resources. Automation is freedom. When your finances run on autopilot, you remove emotion and inconsistency—creating space for real growth. Resistance builds strength. Success isn't about avoiding hardship—it's about enduring and overcoming it with intention. Quoteables “The person who keeps the bar on their chest the longest builds the biggest chest.” “If someone knows, likes, and trusts you—and you solve their problem—they'll work with you.” “You don't have to be the most talented. You just have to outlast.” “Lock the system, and go live your life.” Links & Resources Budgetdog Academy The Roadmap to Financial Freedom by Brendan Traction by Gino Wickman – Business systemization resource Brendan's 3-Day Financial Challenge (more at Budgetdog.com) If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to follow, rate, and review Money on My Mind.

Take Back Time: Time Management | Stress Management | Tug of War With Time
What is perception bias, and why does it matter, and how does hyper-personalization stop bias?Perception bias is our tendency to interpret people and behaviors based on our own filters—whether that's age, gender, role, or past experience. We don't mean to do it. But we all do. It's fast, automatic, and often subconscious.Here's the catch: Bias doesn't just hurt inclusion—it kills engagement. According to Deloitte's 2025 Human Capital Trends report, 71% of employees expect personalized experiences at work, but only 23% of organizations are delivering them effectively. That gap? It's where bias thrives.When people feel misunderstood or misjudged, they check out. And burnout? It's not always caused by workload. It's often caused by people feeling unseen, unheard, and undervalued. That's perception bias in action.Neuroscience backs this up. The brain's anterior cingulate cortex—the region tied to pain and conflict—lights up when we feel socially excluded, similar to physical pain. Feeling like a number isn't just demotivating—it's neurologically distressing. How hyper-personalization flips the scriptSo what's the reset? It's personal. Literally.Hyper-personalization uses real-time data, AI, and behavioral insights to create tailored experiences that meet employees where they are. Think learning styles, communication preferences, reward motivators, even snack and feedback preferences.When leaders co-create profiles with their teams—knowing what energizes them, how they like to receive feedback, what stresses them out—you close the assumption gap. And when people feel seen, they show up differently.
