Guest post by Cillian McCarthy, CEO, Paradyn More often than not, the weakest link in any organisation's defences is its people. Evolving social engineering tactics such as deepfakes, an ever-increasing volume of cyberattacks, and the growing sophistication of threats from would-be hackers combine to make a perfect cybersecurity storm which can confuse and overwhelm employees. A key reason for this is a lack of cybersecurity awareness, and that's why building a strong cybersecurity culture is paramount. Transforming employees into active defenders Cultivating a culture of cyber awareness is about transforming employees from potential vulnerabilities into active defenders. However, this doesn't happen overnight or during a single training session - it's a continuous process which must be evolved in line with changing risks. It also must start from the top down, and business leaders should set the example for the rest of the organisation and demonstrate their commitment by actively driving increased cyber awareness. Communication is key and when it comes to an organisation's security policies, it's crucial to explain the "why" behind the "what". Demonstrating the real-world impacts will help to cement the vital importance of adhering to security protocols. Knowledge is power This is where cybersecurity awareness training comes in. The threat landscape is constantly changing, and employees must be kept up to date on emerging threats and best practices. It's a good idea to run regular penetration tests - simulated phishing attacks - to assess vigilance and identify vulnerability gaps in your defences. Businesses should take the time to develop and enforce clear, concise cybersecurity policies that are based on their individual needs and easy to follow. The final step is to have an incident response plan in place and ensure that employees know what to do - and how fast they need to do it - in the event of a cyber incident. Perhaps most importantly, employees need to be encouraged to report potential breaches or suspicious activity without fear of repercussions. Malware can go undetected within systems for significant periods of time, so it's crucial to get out in front of any potential threats. Fostering a culture of shared responsibility will ensure that employees feel supported and empowered. Tools of the trade The right toolkit will enable an organisation to create a powerful line of defence against cyber threats. Solutions might even need to be tailored to different roles or departments, depending on the specific threats they are likely to face. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) makes it harder for malicious actors to gain access to your systems as it requires several steps to verify the user's identity. Password managers, meanwhile, can securely store login details for company accounts and even suggest strong, unique passwords. And, while it may seem simple, ensuring that all devices and software are regularly updated and patched will go a long way to protecting your business against emerging risks. In addition, compliance with new and changing cybersecurity regulations such as NIS2 is becoming necessary for a growing number of businesses. Non-compliance can not only leave your organisation vulnerable to cyber threats, but can also have financial ramifications and create lasting reputational damage. Effective cybersecurity goes beyond ensuring that systems are protected. It can also boost employee engagement, enhance customer trust, and increase productivity and efficiency within the business. Cybersecurity is constantly evolving and we will see a continuous flow of new threats to be grappled with - underscoring the importance of a security-first mindset for businesses. Ultimately, building a strong cybersecurity culture is all about the journey - not the destination. See more stories here.

AI in sales isn't coming soon. It's already here, and it's quietly separating the salespeople who will thrive from those who won't. On the Sales Gravy Podcast, sales expert and author Victor Antonio shares this quote: "You won't lose your job to AI. You'll lose your job to people who are using AI."  While everyone debates whether artificial intelligence will replace salespeople, the real shift is already happening. What you need to know is which parts of your job will still matter when a machine can do everything else. The Trust Formula Still Requires Humans Most people think AI in sales is about automation. It's not. It's about augmentation. Yes, AI can write your emails. It can analyze your pipeline. It can schedule your meetings and generate your proposals. But it can't build trust with a buyer who's about to make a six-figure decision they're terrified of getting wrong. Trust in selling comes down to three things: Understanding the buyer's point of view Demonstrating real expertise Keeping the buyer's best interest front and center When a buyer is staring at a purchase order that could make or break their business, they don't want a chatbot. They want a human being who says, "I've got you. This is the right move." Simple Sales No Longer Require a Sales Rep  Transactional jobs are disappearing. AI sales agents can already handle simple sales from start to finish. A customer calls about a broken window seal. The AI analyzes the image, checks inventory, schedules a technician, verifies the warranty, and puts the appointment on the calendar. No human required. This isn't science fiction. These systems exist today. AI handles simple tasks easily, but complex sales still require humans. Everything on the straightforward end—cold outreach, basic prospecting, routine follow-ups—is getting automated fast. But complex B2B sales are different. When deals involve multiple stakeholders, custom solutions, and high-stakes decisions, buyers still need salespeople. Humans don't trust machines with decisions that keep them up at night. Your job security lives in complexity. If you're selling simple products with simple processes, you need to start adding value now.  What You Should Be Doing Right Now Most salespeople are waiting while AI transforms the industry. Don't make that mistake. Here's how to start experimenting with AI today: Use ChatGPT, Google's Notebook LM, or your AI of choice to digest long articles and research reports in minutes instead of hours. Feed it information about your products and competitors to create your own custom knowledge base. Role-play objection handling by assigning it different buyer personas and practicing your responses. Ask it to critique your proposals before you send them to catch weak points you might miss. These tools aren't perfect. They'll feel clunky at first. But you're not trying to master AI today. You're building comfort with technology that will be 100 times more powerful in just a few years. The salespeople who are experimenting now will be the ones who know how to use AI when it really matters. The ones waiting for their leaders to force them to adopt AI will scramble to catch up. The Skills That Survive AI So what actually matters when AI handles the busywork? The biggest obstacle in complex sales isn't convincing buyers that your solution works. It's helping them trust their own judgment enough to decide. Buyers freeze not because of your pitch, but because of fear: What if I'm wrong? AI can show data, ROI models, and comparison charts—but building buyer confidence still requires human judgment. That's the skill that matters: Building buyer confidence. You need to get exceptional at reading hesitation—when a buyer goes quiet or starts asking the same questions in different ways. They're not confused about your product. They're uncertain about themselves.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we'll delve into a series of remarkable advancements and strategic movements shaping the landscape of healthcare. Let's start with a recent spotlight on the European Society for Medical Oncology Congress 2025, where key clinical trial outcomes have emerged, potentially reshaping future treatment protocols.AstraZeneca made waves with its Phase 3 trial results for Imfinzi, a PD-L1 inhibitor, in high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. The findings suggest that Imfinzi stands strong against Pfizer's PD-1 candidate, Sasanlimab. This is particularly noteworthy as bladder cancer has historically had limited non-invasive treatment options. The implications for patient care are substantial, providing hope for improved management of this form of cancer and possibly influencing treatment standards.Meanwhile, Eli Lilly's Verzenio marked another success at the ESMO Congress with its overall survival win in early breast cancer cases. This victory enhances Verzenio's standing within the CDK4/6 inhibitor class, suggesting increased adoption in clinical settings. The demonstration of extended survival benefits not only strengthens Verzenio's competitive position but also contributes to setting a new standard of care in early breast cancer treatment.On the regulatory front, Sanofi encountered mixed outcomes from the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use. While Rezurock was not recommended as a third-line treatment for chronic graft-versus-host disease, this decision underscores the stringent regulatory processes companies navigate despite existing market success in other regions like the U.S.In a significant move by the FDA to expedite drug approvals, nine companies including Merck KGaA and Regeneron received priority review vouchers. These vouchers allow a shortened review timeline, reflecting an ongoing trend towards accelerating drug availability to address unmet medical needs swiftly.In terms of strategic developments, EMD Serono—Merck KGaA's U.S. branch—has unveiled a major discount initiative for its IVF treatments on the TrumpRx platform. This aligns with broader efforts to make fertility treatments more accessible amidst rising demand and economic pressures.The metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) arena is also witnessing robust interest with over $10 billion recently reported in mergers and acquisitions. This surge indicates confidence among Big Pharma players in MASH as a lucrative therapeutic field ripe for innovation and development.In response to competitive pressures and operational challenges, Kezar Life Sciences is preparing for layoffs following the FDA's decision to cancel a critical meeting related to its R&D program. This situation illustrates the volatile dynamics within biotech firms where regulatory decisions can significantly impact corporate strategies and workforce stability.Overall, these developments reflect an industry characterized by rapid innovation, strategic realignments, and an evolving regulatory framework. The implications for patient care are substantial as these scientific advancements promise enhanced treatment options across various therapeutic areas.Switching gears to scientific developments, Bristol Myers Squibb has reported promising results from early-stage trials of its EGFRxHER3 antibody-drug conjugate. Demonstrating a 55% overall response rate, this positions BMS to potentially gain a competitive edge in the ADC market—a sector valued for targeting cancer cells while minimizing side effects on healthy tissues.Strategic partnerships continue to shape industry growth and innovation. Roche has secured a deal with Hansoh Pharmaceutical worth up to $1.45 billion for global rights to an experimental ADC outside Greater China. SimilSupport the show

Today, the road to partnership involves more than billing hours and producing great work. It's also now about more than business development, firm economics, and client relationships. A new factor also driving advancement is artificial intelligence. AI is already reshaping research, diligence, drafting, and reporting.

Winston Peters supports banning protests outside of people's homes. Submissions close today on a proposed law change, to prohibit disruptive demonstrations outside private residences. Pro-Palestine demonstrators last week protested outside the Foreign Minister's Auckland home after Israeli forces intercepted a flotilla headed to Gaza, including three Kiwis. Peters says this new law aims to provide clarity. "Everyone is entitled to their peace in their neighbourhood, and if you want to protest, there's places for protesting - but it isn't outside of people's homes."

Thank you to the folks at Sustain (https://sustainoss.org/) for providing the hosting account for CHAOSSCast! CHAOSScast – Episode 120 In this episode of CHAOSScast, Harmony Elendu hosts a discussion with Dawn Foster and Bob Killen to discuss their extensive experience in open source and detail the motivations behind the creation of the CHAOSS Practitioner Guides. These guides aim to help practitioners navigate the overwhelming amount of data related to open source projects and understand how to improve project health and sustainability. The discussion covers strategies for communicating the business value of open source efforts to leadership, framing contributions in a way that resonates with organizational priorities, and prioritizing investments in critical projects. Press download now! [00:00:31] Dawn and Bob introduce themselves and their backgrounds. [00:02:24] Dawn explains why CHAOSS created Practitioner Guides: to help navigate the “tsunami of data” from open source metrics. The new guide is different and is focused on demonstrating organizational value. [00:04:36] Harmony asks about the inspiration for the guide. Dawn credits Bob and how the guide was built largely from his talks at KubeCon and the Linux Foundation Member Summit. [00:05:22] Bob talks about macroeconomic pressures where open source is often first cut. The guide helps orgs tell compelling stories to leadership about open source ROI. [00:07:14] Bob shares a case study: maintainers reframed contributions in leadership's language- revenue impact, bug fix turnaround, and resource efficiency and how this secured leadership support. Dawn adds that every organization values different things and provides an example. [00:11:36] Bob introduces the formula: Priority = Criticality x Health. [00:13:36] Dawn emphasizes formula helps orgs prioritize strategically critical but under-resourced projects (example: Kubernetes cluster API at VMware). Bob notes criticality differs by company and even department. [00:16:51] Harmony ask how to report open source value to leadership. Bob explains the importance of framing in leadership's language, not just raw contribution counts. Dawn warns against poor framing and explains about being careful about how you talk to leadership about your open source efforts. Value Adds (Picks) of the week: [00:20:47] Dawn's pick is discovery how easy it was to build a static site with GitHub Pages and Jekyll. [00:21:38] Bob's pick is dosu.dev.

If you have built your BigLaw career around a thriving regulatory or enforcement practice, you know how difficult it can be for you and your practice when that work suddenly isn't there. One month you are buried in nvestigations motivated by government inquiries or merger reviews, and the next your phone goes quiet because enforcement priorities shifted, agency budgets got cut, or a new administration has redirected resources. It is unsettling, especially when your brand, reputation and and client base are tied to that flow of work. In this episode, I walk through the reality of what it can feel like and what to do when your once-busy enforcement and regulatory practice slows. I share how to distinguish between cyclical downturns and structural changes that reshape a practice like this long term, and share some specific examples across areas such as FCPA, antitrust, and privacy to illustrate how BigLaw attorneys can pivot effectively. I also outline practical steps to stay visible with clients as well as inside your firm so that even when the billable work is not there, your value and future opportunities are. At a Glance: 00:00 Introduction need to navigate BigLaw downturns in regulatory and enforcement work 01:20 When busy practices suddenly dry up: regulatory shifts and enforcement changes 02:14 How external forces such as politics, budgets, and agency leadership reshape your practice overnight 03:03 Early warning signs that your work is slowing down in these areas 03:37 The emotional impact: anxiety, uncertainty, and fear of career derailment 04:08 Diagnosing cyclical vs. structural downturns with concrete indicators 05:16 Why this distinction matters for your long-term career strategy 05:39 Examples of temporary pivots that kept practices alive (FCPA, antitrust, GDPR, privacy) 07:04 How lawyers can broaden their practices to adapt to structural changes 08:08 The importance of proactive client communication, including with “good news” updates 09:37 What to do when billable hours stall: seeking work across departments and staying visible 10:41 Positioning yourself as a thought leader through articles, CLEs, and conferences 11:29 Documenting outreach, cross-practice contributions, and client loyalty for firm leadership 12:21 Demonstrating cross-practice value: aligning with busier groups inside your firm 13:30 How client loyalty and referrals strengthen your standing even in slow periods 13:58 Reframing your practice to be less narrowly defined by one enforcement area 14:27 How one partner survived cuts by documenting value and broadening expertise 15:16 Long-game mindset: showing your firm that you are indispensable beyond billable hours Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts & Spotify Do you enjoy listening to Big Law Life?  Please consider rating and reviewing the show!

In this episode of Ageless Future, Regan Archibald sits down with entrepreneur and author Garnet Morris to unpack the “mental bricks” that stall progress—and how coachability, values, and ambition can knock them down. Morris shares his late-in-life transformation (quitting two-pack-a-day smoking, losing ~150 pounds) sparked by getting coaches and treating health like a Porsche: proactive diagnostics, small annual adjustments, and no junk in the tank. He outlines community-scale plans to improve population health—starting in Mississippi and challenging Utah to become America's healthiest state—through simple, scalable fundamentals (movement, nutrition), authentic storytelling, and partnerships with hospitals, schools, and churches. They explore why AI can supercharge marketing but not replace human-to-human sales or accountability, why trades and hands-on roles remain resilient, and how women's health demands research- and lifestyle-driven care beyond hormones. The throughline: lead, ask for help, build local momentum, and make “best” your mission.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/garnet-morris-9b244947/Garnet Morris is a seasoned entrepreneur and financial strategist whose career spans five decades and multiple industries.

How do we demonstrate the value of what we do in healthcare simulation?  This question prompted Lisa Barker and a stellar author team to develop a new model for thinking about value in simulation. They present that model - and the thinking behind it - in Value-based simulation in healthcare: a new model for metrics reporting, recently published in Advances in Simulation. They authors describe their article as “.. designed to support simulation teams and organizational leaders in selecting relevant measurement strategies, aligning simulation work with institutional goals, and co-creating metrics that are operationally meaningful.”  In this Simulcast/ Advances episode, Vic speaks with Lisa Barker and two of her co-authors; Ben Symon and Katie Walker. Our conversation started with a look back at the challenge of measuring and demonstrating value from simulation activities, and a timeline summary of how this issue has been approached over the last 25 years.  We then parse the value-based simulation in healthcare (VBSH) model, comprising six distinct but interdependent categories: Service Products, Program Perceptions, Acquired Expertise, Workplace Performance, System Benefit, and Value Analyses. Lisa, Ben and Katie leave us with some final thoughts as to how this might be applied in practice and offer some speculation about future work on value in healthcare simulation.  Some of the many references to background literature in our conversation included:  Barsuk JH, McGaghie WC, Cohen ER, Balachandran JS, Wayne DB. Use of simulation-based mastery learning to improve the quality of central venous catheter placement in a medical intensive care unit. J Hosp Med. 2009 Sep;4(7):397-403.  Nestel D, Brazil V, Hay M.

Assistant Professor Mohammad Mirhosseini (Caltech EE/APh) explains how his group built a mechanical quantum memory that stores microwave-photon quantum states far longer than typical superconducting qubits, and why that matters for hybrid quantum architectures. The discussion covers microwave photons, phonons, optomechanics, coherence versus lifetime (T2 vs. T1), current speed bottlenecks, and implications for quantum transduction and error mechanisms. The discussion centers on a paper from Mirhosseini's paper from December of 2024 titled, “A mechanical quantum memory for microwave photons,” detailing strong coupling between a transmon and a long‑lived nanomechanical oscillator for storage and retrieval of nonclassical states.GuestMohammad Mirhosseini is an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics at Caltech, where his group engineers hybrid superconducting–phononic–photonic systems at millikelvin temperatures for computing, communication, and sensing. He completed his PhD at the University of Rochester's Institute of Optics and was a postdoc in Oscar Painter's group at Caltech before starting his lab. His recent team effort demonstrates mechanical oscillators as compact, long‑lived quantum memories integrated with superconducting circuits.Key topicsWhat “microwave photons” are and how qubits emit/absorb single microwave photons in circuit QED analogously to atoms and optical photons.Why “memory” is missing in today's quantum processors and how a dedicated long‑lived storage element can complement fast but dissipative superconducting qubits.Optomechanics 101: mapping quantum states between electrical and mechanical degrees of freedom, with phonons as the quantized vibrational excitations.T1 vs. T2: demonstrated order‑of‑magnitude gains in lifetime (T1) and more modest current gains in coherence (T2), plus paths to mitigate dephasing.Present bottleneck: state conversion between qubit and oscillator is about 100× slower than native superconducting operations, with clear engineering avenues to speed up.Quantum transduction: leveraging the same mechanical intermediary to bridge microwave and optical domains for interconnects and networking.Two‑level system (TLS) defects: shared decoherence mechanisms across mechanical oscillators and superconducting circuits and why comparing both can illuminate materials limits.Why it mattersHybrid architectures that pair fast processors with long‑lived memories are a natural route to scaling, and mechanical oscillators offer lifetimes far exceeding conventional superconducting storage elements while remaining chip‑integrable.. Demonstrating nonclassical state storage and retrieval with strong qubit–mechanics coupling validates mechanical oscillators as practical quantum memories and sets the stage for on‑chip transduction. Overcoming current speed limits and dephasing would lower the overhead for synchronization, buffering, and possibly future fault‑tolerant protocols in superconducting platforms.Episode highlightsA clear explanation of microwave photons and how circuit QED lets qubits create and absorb them one by one.Mechanical memory concept: store quantum states as phonons in a gigahertz‑frequency nanomechanical oscillator and read them back later.Performance today: roughly 10–30× longer T1 than typical superconducting qubits with current T2 gains of a few×, alongside concrete strategies to extend T2.Speed trade‑off: present qubit–mechanics state transfer is ~100× slower than native superconducting gates, but device design and coupling improvements are underway.Roadmap: tighter coupling for in‑oscillator gates, microwave‑to‑optical conversion via the same mechanics, and probing TLS defects to inform both mechanical and superconducting coherence.

Podcast Notes   Episode 482 An Insight Into the Internal w/ Val Hastings Hosts: Brian Miller, PCC Guest: Val Hastings Date: September 11th, 2025 In this episode, Master Certified Coach Val Hastings shares insights from his book Coaching from the Inside and decades of experience training leaders and coaches worldwide. He unpacks what makes internal coaching unique, how it differs from external coaching, and why every leader can and should integrate coaching into their leadership style. Val also introduces guiding principles for internal coaches, highlighting both opportunities and challenges of coaching within an organization. Key Highlights: Val's coaching journey began unexpectedly but led to a lifelong commitment to transforming leaders through an inside-out approach. Only 7% of coaches work as full-time external coaches—93% are internal leaders, supervisors, or professionals integrating coaching into their roles. Internal coaching presents unique challenges: existing relationships, vested interests in outcomes, confidentiality concerns, and “in-the-moment” hallway or workplace coaching. Three powerful principles from Val's Guiding Principles of Internal Coaching: Coaching Initiative: internal coaches can proactively engage with clients in real time. Demonstrating Worth: internal coaches must continually educate and show value within their organizations. Hat Switching: balancing multiple roles (leader, supervisor, peer, coach) fluidly without derailing conversations. Coaching is often better caught than taught—demonstrations and live experiences help people grasp its transformative power more than explanations. Takeaways: Internal coaching is the reality for most professionals, and learning its unique dynamics is essential for effective leadership. Being intentional about confidentiality, boundaries, and bias safeguards trust when coaching inside an organization. Demonstrating value and educating others about coaching is critical even for internal coaches—visibility and clarity sustain impact. Leaders who master “hat switching” can seamlessly balance authority with coaching presence, maximizing both trust and effectiveness. Coaching from the inside-out creates sustainable cultural transformation, equipping leaders to unlock potential at every level.

Interview with Matthew Gili, President of Ur-Energy LtdOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/slow-supply-fast-demand-uraniums-new-investment-reality-7136Recording date: 5th September 2025Ur-Energy has emerged as a standout performer in the uranium sector under new leadership, positioning itself as one of the few active US producers during a critical market recovery period. The company recently appointed Matthew Gili as president, bringing over three decades of large-scale mining operations experience from industry leaders including Rio Tinto and Barrick Gold.Gili's appointment represents a strategic inflection point for the Wyoming-based producer. Despite lacking uranium-specific experience, his proven track record in operational turnarounds across silver, gold, and copper operations provides exactly what Ur Energy needs. "I don't come from the uranium background. I come from the gold and copper background primarily," Gili explained, emphasizing his focus on "business improvement cycles regarding project management cycles regarding just good old management operating systems."The company's Lost Creek facility currently produces over 110,000 pounds of uranium quarterly, with management targeting 800,000 to 1.2 million pounds annually. Demonstrating cost competitiveness, Ur-Energy achieved $42 cash costs per pound in Q2, providing healthy margins at current uranium prices while targeting further reductions through operational optimization.Near-term growth prospects center on Shirley Basin, scheduled for commissioning in Q1 2026. The project's strategic design maximizes existing infrastructure utilization, with resin capture processing at Shirley Basin and loaded resin trucked to Lost Creek for precipitation processing.Ur-Energy's three-property portfolio operates within a 10-mile radius of Casper, Wyoming, creating significant operational synergies. "We can share people. We can share warehouses and we can truck material from one site to the other," Gili noted, highlighting cost advantages over multi-jurisdictional competitors.The company's strategic positioning as an active producer during uranium supply shortages provides immediate price leverage advantages. As Gili emphasized, "The entities that make the real money are the entities that are operating when the price goes up," distinguishing Ur-Energy from development-stage competitors facing construction risk and capital requirements.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/ur-energy-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Everyone just got promoted. Everyone just got themselves a new specialist underneath them named Claude, who produces everything for you as a first draft. And it may be good, it may be great. Good job. You prompted the model, right? You've trained it right?" - Gab Ferree [40:47 → 41:04] "I do wonder for like outside of that, are people are going to start talking about like our executives going to talk about like that they have more time, that they get to spend more time with their kids. Maybe they're not burning out. Maybe they don't need to step away to spend more time with their family.

Travis tackles one of the most practical but overlooked routes to building wealth: negotiation. Travis shares actionable strategies and mindset shifts for anyone looking to earn more—whether as an employee, freelancer, or business owner. Drawing on research, stats, and his personal journey, Travis offers a road map for boosting your income and unlocking your true earning potential. On this episode we talk about: Why the biggest mistake is simply not negotiating your salary or rates Statistics showing how negotiating and job switching can add up to 18% or more to your earnings The right way to tie your raise requests to proven value—not just desires Key tactics: preparation, anchoring, and letting the employer speak first in negotiation Understanding when it's time to seek new opportunities versus remaining loyal Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Failing to negotiate or ask for raises can result in missing out on millions of dollars throughout your career.2.  Demonstrating clear, data-backed value is essential—you must show how your work has saved or made the company real money.3.  Negotiation skills like price anchoring, preparation, and being willing to walk away are crucial for achieving your true worth. Notable Quotes "The biggest mistake is that they don't do it… you're setting yourself up in the future to be missing out on a large percentage of potential income." "You can't go in with demands rather than requests... do the proper research, come in with actual stats and figures, and then relate what you're asking for to the actual value that you provided." "You do not get paid for your time. You get paid for the value that you bring to your organization." ✖️✖️✖️✖️

For almost seven years after World War II, a small group of architects took on an exciting task: to imagine the spaces of global governance for a new political organization called the United Nations (UN). To create the iconic headquarters of the UN in New York City, these architects experimented with room layouts, media technologies, and design in tribunal courtrooms, assembly halls, and council chambers. The result was the creation of a new type of public space, the global interior. Assembly by Design: The United Nations and Its Global Interior (U of Minnesota Press, 2024) shows how this space leveraged media to help the UN communicate with the world. With its media infrastructure, symbols, acoustic design, and architecture, the global interior defined political assembly both inside and outside the UN headquarters, serving as the architectural medium to organize multilateral encounters of international publics around the globe. Demonstrating how aesthetics have long held sway over political work, Olga Touloumi posits that the building framed diplomacy on the ground amid a changing political landscape that brought the United States to the forefront of international politics, destabilizing old and establishing new geopolitical alliances. Uncovering previously closed institutional and family archives, Assembly by Design offers new information about the political and aesthetic decisions that turned the UN headquarters into a communications organism. It looks back at a moment of hope, when politicians, architects, and diplomats—believing that assembly was a matter of design—worked together to deliver platforms for global democracy and governance. Olga Touloumi is associate professor of architectural history at Bard College. She is coeditor of Computer Architectures: Constructing the Common Ground.

https://coachingyouthhoops.com/ Is sideline yelling really making you a better coach—or just a louder one? Too many think passion means volume, but that can teach kids all the wrong lessons. In this episode, Coach Bill Flitter and Steve Collins—both seasoned leaders on and off the court—break down true coaching etiquette. How's your sideline behavior impacting your team? Discover how to: Model calm under pressure. Handle confrontations with class. Set the right example for players and parents. More coaching gems ahead. Let's change the game together! If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a 5-star review. Done for you practice plans - diagrams, videos, explanations =>> https://coachingyouthhoops.com/ Turn Game Film Into A Game Plan with AI =>> https://coachingyouthhoops.com/ai As the calendar flips to August here in Wisconsin, the intensity of the upcoming season begins to feel real. Before we dive headfirst into practice plans and scouting reports, it's the perfect time to commit to the principles of coaching etiquette—the unwritten playbook that defines our character and our program's reputation. This code of conduct begins with how we carry ourselves with opponents and officials. It's the firm pre-game handshake with a rival coach, the respectful "sir" or "ma'am" when addressing an official, and the class to handle both a tough loss and a big win with dignity. Demonstrating this professionalism, especially when calls don't go our way, sets the ultimate example of sportsmanship for our players and signals to the entire community that we value integrity as much as victory. This commitment to etiquette extends inward to our daily interactions with players and their parents. It involves establishing clear communication protocols with parents at the start of the season, ensuring that conversations are professional and scheduled, not emotional and post-game. With our athletes, it means delivering constructive criticism with respect, maintaining a professional boundary, and holding every player to the same high standard of conduct. A coach who masters this unwritten playbook—who controls their sideline demeanor, chooses their words carefully, and represents their school with class—builds a foundation of trust and respect that outlasts any single season. The X's and O's may win the game, but it's our etiquette that builds a legacy.

John Norkus is the founder of chiefpricingofficer.com and has led pricing transformation teams at several large consulting companies including Deloitte and KPMG. He started his career as an aircraft engineer before transitioning into business, bringing his analytical mindset to understanding the behavioral economics of pricing decisions. In this episode, John makes a compelling case for why pricing professionals deserve a seat at the executive table, exploring the disconnect between pricing's impact on enterprise value and its typical organizational placement. He discusses his new platform designed to unite senior pricing professionals and elevate the discipline to C-suite recognition.   Why you have to check out today's podcast:  Discover why pricing professionals are typically buried 2-3 levels below the CEO despite controlling one of four key profit drivers. Learn the difference between traditional pricing roles and true chief pricing officer responsibilities. Understand how to position pricing as enterprise value creation rather than just cost management.   "Pricing may be part marketing, part analytics, part behavioral, part external, part internal, but it is the piece that aligns us on how we're actually squaring off against the market."  – John Norkus   Topics Covered:  01:43 – John's journey to pricing transformation: From aircraft engineer to behavioral economics and CRM to pricing strategy  05:18 – Positioning pricing as organizational connective tissue: Why pricing deserves equal footing with volume, cost, and mix initiatives 08:01 – The pricing control dilemma among departments: How sales, marketing, finance, and operations all claim ownership of pricing decisions  12:24 – Defining the Chief Pricing Officer's role: Executive alignment versus operational pricing work and transformation implementation  15:45 – Pricing strategies in business: Inside-out versus outside-in approaches and competitive intelligence versus customer willingness to pay  16:32 – Critical senior alignment in pricing projects: Why CEO buy-in as a top-3 initiative determines transformation success or failure  19:39 – Pricing and enterprise value analysis: Demonstrating 2-7% bottom-line impact within 12-18 months to justify executive investment  23:35 – The activist CFO and enterprise value: Finding CFOs who understand value creation beyond cost reduction and margin improvement  29:29 – Pricing as organizational alignment: How pricing serves as the ultimate test of market positioning and competitive strategy   Key Takeaways: "If the pricing transformation of the pricing program isn't number one on the CEO's list of one, two, or three most important thing they can do this year... then quite frankly, it's not as important and it doesn't have the kind of alignment that you thought it did." – John Norkus "Organizations who get it are the ones that we should be engaging with... change comes from within. And if somebody believes that this is the right thing to do and they just need somebody to help them do it and somebody who has done it before, that's where people like you and I actually succeed." – John Norkus "I consider 20% of everything we do in pricing to be analytics or data and objective based, and the other 80% to be about behaviors, either internal behaviors or external behaviors that need to be captured and understood." – John Norkus   People / Resources Mentioned:  Professional Pricing Society (PPS): Established organization for pricing professionals and education  Simon Sinek Four Drivers of Enterprise Profit: Volume, Cost, Mix, and Price - and their typical organizational reporting structures   Connect with John Norkus:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnmnorkus/ Email: john@chiefpricingofficer.com  Website: https://www.chiefpricingofficer.com/    Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/  Email: mark@impactpricing.com

In this episode, I speak with Hannah Kershaw, Chief Product Officer at Domestic and General, a company that you might not have heard of but absolutely need in your corner the next time your dishwasher breaks. Hannah's journey took her from marketing to e-commerce, into product leadership at GoCompare, and now to transforming Product at a billion-pound growth organisation.

A behind-the-scenes powerhouse: Domestic and General powers customer journeys via major retail and manufacturer partnerships (e.g. Argos, AO, Hotpoint), often handling registration, support, and repair logistics under their partners' brands. Product complexity in a partner-led model: Coordinating customer experience, retailer requirements, manufacturer constraints, and service delivery logistics - without directly employing a single repair technician. Building product from scratch: How Hannah established a product function at Domestic and General, moving from a traditional delivery model to domain-based product teams focused on growth and customer retention. Evolving team structures: Starting with customer and partner-aligned squads before transitioning to domain-oriented teams, reflecting shifts in strategic focus and incorporating feedback from engineering and delivery teams. Product vs Proposition: Domestic and General brings together digital product managers and proposition managers - handling platforms and customer experiences on one side, and the commercial performance of insurance offerings on the other. Philosophy of simplification and belief: Encouraging resilience and optimism, Hannah champions a mindset that anything is possible - helping teams cut through complexity and deliver tangible outcomes. Pragmatism over product purism: While Domestic and General aspires to be product-led, the focus is on real-world delivery - balancing best practice with the pace and realities of a high-growth, partner-centric business.

Send us a textThe enduring legend of Belle Starr, America's notorious "Bandit Queen," culminates in this riveting final episode that traces her tragic demise and extraordinary posthumous transformation. After the death of her husband Sam Starr in 1886, Belle found herself in a desperate legal battle to keep her beloved home at Younger's Bend. The Cherokee Tribal Council delivered devastating news – as a non-citizen, her claim to the land had vanished with her husband's passing. Demonstrating remarkable resilience, she quickly formed a strategic alliance with Jim July, a young man of Creek and Cherokee heritage, securing her homestead through this new marriage while agreeing to stop harboring fugitives.Despite her attempts to reform, the shadows of Belle's past continued to circle. By February 1889, she had accumulated a long list of potential enemies – from her disgruntled neighbor Edgar Watson to her own resentful son Ed Reed. On February 3rd, just days before her 41st birthday, Belle was ambushed on a lonely stretch of road near Eufaula. The attack was brutal and cowardly – shot in the back with what many believe was her own double-barreled shotgun, then finished off as she lay wounded on the cold ground. Though she was found still alive and brought home to her daughter Pearl, her injuries proved fatal.The investigation into Belle's murder exemplifies frontier justice at its most ineffective. Despite compelling evidence against prime suspect Edgar Watson, including distinctive footprints at the crime scene, he was acquitted due to insufficient evidence and reluctant witnesses. The mystery of who killed Belle Starr remains unsolved to this day, adding another layer to her fascinating legend. It was her violent death that catapulted her from local notoriety to national fame, as sensationalized newspaper accounts caught the attention of publisher Richard K. Fox. His 1889 paperback "Belle Starr, the Bandit Queen" reinvented her as a beautiful, educated Southern belle driven to crime to avenge her Confederate brother's death – a romantic fabrication far removed from the complex reality of the woman who had just one conviction for horse theft.Belle's grave at Younger's Bend bears the poetic inscription: "Shed not for her the bitter tear... 'Tis but the casket that lies here, the gem that fills it, sparkles yet." These words perfectly capture the essence of the Belle Starr phenomenon – the transformation of a frontier woman into an enduring symbol of the Wild West.
