What happens when we feel like we've made a bad investment in the past?The bigger cost of a so-called bad investment might not actually be the investment itself, but what happens after that. I'm sharing my recent experience investing $28K, how it did not work out the way I wanted it to, and what I'm making it mean.And we're getting into how to be a smart investor who really understands the risk you're taking on- including the risks you don't even realize are actually present.Tune in to learn:Why the bigger cost of a so-called bad investment might not actually be the investment itself—but what happens after that.My recent experience investing $28K, how it did not work out the way I wanted it to, and what I'm making it mean.How to be a smart investor who really understands the risk you're taking on—including the risks you don't even realize are actually present.

Robin is the Head of Technology Investment Banking at Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., where he leads a 50-banker team spanning 12 tech verticals. He has 30+ years of investment banking experience advising high-growth technology companies on M&A and capital raising.Topics:AI in Investment BankingTech Market OutlookStrategically Hiring Senior TalentBuilding a Collaborative Culture...and so much more.Top TakeawaysGrowth opportunities are increasingly coming from venture-backed targets. Most of the M&A activity Robin's team is seeing isn't traditional buyouts but portcos making strategic acquisitions to build out their existing platforms. Oppenheimer's recent sale of Kentik to PE-backed Infoblox is one example. For sponsors, it's a reason to look beyond the traditional add-on universe when building their M&A pipelines.The best use of AI may be capacity creation rather than headcount reduction. Oppenheimer is using an internal analytics tool to offload model-building, SEC data pulls, and other repetitive work. Robin sees the payoff not as needing fewer bankers, but as giving the existing team more capacity to process transactions and spend time with clients. The practical opportunity is to identify where AI can remove execution bottlenecks, then deliberately reinvest that capacity rather than treating efficiency as the end goal.High-stakes moments are built through low-stakes repetition. Robin learned that lesson rowing at Harvard, where months of repetitive training came down to a handful of six-minute races. Dealmaking requires the same discipline: keep doing the work when the payoff is distant, so you're ready when the moment that matters arrives.About Oppenheimer & Co. Inc.Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. is a full-service investment bank and wealth manager. Robin leads its technology investment banking group, with about 50 bankers across 12 verticals, from semiconductors and enterprise software to defense tech and aerospace.

John Nunemaker runs Fireside, Flipper and Box Out. He used to think of himself as a craftsman, until last December, when he found out that what he really loves is shipping. Now he reads the data models and queries but not the JavaScript. He's also dropping plugins and rewrote 80% of Fireside's infrastructure in three days while driving a camper. He and Matt talk about when you're the brain and when you're the hands, why agent tools hand you too many open loops at once, temporary scoped API keys, and why testing and verification might finally stop being seen as lower-status work.Mentioned in this episodeCompound Engineering: Every's plan, build, review, compound loop. The last step turns anything you did into a process you can reuse next time. John used it for about a month before paring back his setup.gstack: Garry Tan's Claude Code setup. John dropped most of it but kept the browse tools for before-and-after screenshots. Those led to his most-used homemade skill, /prove, which asks the agent to prove its work actually works from start to finish.Caddy on-demand TLS: This replaced Fireside's tangle of Nginx, background jobs and Redis for custom-domain SSL. The app says which domains get a certificate, and Caddy handles the rest. Claude suggested it after John asked what tool does this.Railway's canvas, for agents: This is John's pitch for fixing agent overload. He wants every worktree in Conductor, Codex or Cursor to be a box on an infinite canvas that you can group, connect and move out of the way, instead of an endless list of open loops.Codex remote access: Scan a code with your phone, and your Mac, fully set up and sitting on your desk, takes commands from a camping chair. This is what got John "mainlining" Codex.Cloudflare Tunnel: John's way to check work from his phone. The agent installs cloudflared, adds the host to Rails, restarts the server and gives him a link.Toxiproxy: Shopify's proxy for simulating slow, failing or flaky connections. John used it on GitHub's availability team so that a notifications database outage wouldn't take down all of GitHub.StrongDM's Digital Twin Universe: The "fake Slack" idea. Agents build single-binary clones of third-party APIs, so you can test OAuth, webhooks, rate limits and outages from any worktree. John now wants to do this for X and Meta at Box Out.Wispr Flow: After years of hand and arm pain, John now talks to his agents all day. The only problem is a sore throat.Flipper: John's feature flag product. His closing prediction: when nobody reads the code, feature flags and APMs matter more, so APMs will have to get much cheaper.Thank you to this season's sponsor Laravel Cloud.

Julie Tesch: Coming Home to Rural MinnesotaIn this episode of the Get Deep Podcast, we sit down with Julie Tesch, President and CEO of the Center for Rural Policy & Development, for a personal conversation about agriculture, leadership, adversity, and the future of rural Minnesota.Julie takes us back to growing up on a southern Minnesota dairy farm before following a career that took her into agricultural education, national FFA leadership, and eventually Washington, D.C. After years spent experiencing rural America from both inside and outside of it, she ultimately found her way home and into a role dedicated to understanding and strengthening rural communities.Julie also shares one of the most difficult chapters of her life, speaking candidly about surviving a sexual assault, the profound impact it had on her in the aftermath, and the changes that followed. Today, she speaks publicly about that experience, using her own story to bring greater awareness to an issue that affects far too many people.It's a wide ranging conversation about resilience, leadership, community, and how the experiences we never choose can shape what we do with the life that follows.

Gabo Loaiza, head coach of Jämtland Basket, shared how he builds his teams around a shared way of seeing the game. That common picture comes from video work and clear communication so players can decide for themselves. Identity starts with energy and effort, then talent, then tactics chosen to multiply both. His game model is fast and risk-taking. He develops Plan A instead of inventing Plan B for every opponent, trusting the team's strengths even in playoffs. Players must win individual battles and show “blind generosity”—unseen effort that helps teammates. Passing and constant movement sit at the core. Development is a team job. Mirror pairings of pros and youth players set the same standard, while “tactification” drills put skills in unpredictable, game-like settings. Drawing on his psychology background, Loaiza focuses on process over results and on helping both coaches and players manage fear of failure.

He believes that the team has a strong fan base, with 2.86 million fans showing up to games this season, and that they are ready to support the team through a rebuilding process. He also discusses the importance of the team's young players, and how they will be key to the team's future success.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When building gets easier, choosing what to build becomes even more important.Ciaran Cosgrave is CEO of Nearform, a global AI-native engineering company for the enterprise. Before moving into entrepreneurship and technology, he spent the first decade of his career running refugee camps across Africa and Central America. Those experiences shaped how he thinks about resilience, problem-solving, and building teams.In our conversation, we explore why Ciaran focuses on problems before technology, how AI software development is compressing months of prototyping into days and weeks, and why faster experimentation makes judgment even more important. We also get into the new challenge leaders face when teams can generate more ideas and prototypes than organizations can realistically absorb.Key TakeawaysStart with the problem, not the technology: Understanding the underlying problem and speaking with the people experiencing it creates a stronger foundation than chasing technology or quick financial returns.Knowing what to build remains difficult: AI can change how software gets built, but leaders still need judgment to determine which problems matter and what is worth creating.Faster prototypes can improve judgment: Moving from idea to prototype in days or weeks gives teams more opportunities to explore alternatives and test assumptions before committing to large investments.More experimentation requires better filtering: As testing ideas becomes faster and cheaper, leaders need mechanisms for deciding which prototypes deserve to move forward.Growth is becoming less dependent on headcount: AI is challenging the traditional services model where growing a business was closely tied to adding more people.Additional InsightsResilience can come from unexpected experiences: Ciaran credits his years working in refugee camps with teaching him perseverance and giving him perspective when facing rejection and uncertainty.Great teams still matter: Ciaran emphasizes finding good people, helping them work together, and building strong teams around difficult problems.Luck belongs in the entrepreneurship story: Timing, advice, unexpected opportunities, and good fortune can play an important role even when successful founders later describe a more deliberate strategy.Nearform was built around open source and small, senior teams: The company was built on a belief in open technology and in smaller groups of experienced people creating greater impact.The transformation experts are being disrupted too: After helping companies navigate mobile, cloud, and ecommerce, Nearform now finds its own services business directly affected by AI. Episode Highlights00:00 – Solve Problems Before Chasing MoneyCiaran explains why he has always been more interested in solving meaningful problems than pursuing technology or quick financial returns.02:32 – Guest Introduction: Ciaran CosgraveMeet Ciaran Cosgrave, CEO of Nearform, whose unconventional career began with a decade spent running refugee camps before moving into entrepreneurship and technology.03:52 – From Refugee Camps to TechnologyCiaran shares how he spent the first ten years of his career working in refugee camps before entering technology.05:46 – Giving His Early Career to OthersA teenage encounter with a technology entrepreneur inspired Ciaran to spend the early years of his career serving others and tackling difficult problems.08:18 – Becoming an Entrepreneur by AccidentAfter struggling to enter traditional corporate roles, Ciaran found an opportunity in financial services and started building technology businesses.11:45 – Focus on Problems, People, and a Little LuckCiaran explains why understanding the problem, finding great people, and acknowledging luck have shaped how he builds businesses.15:43 – What Drew Ciaran to NearformCiaran describes Nearform's origins and its early belief in open-source technology, small senior teams, and software as a force for good.21:03 – When the Transformation Experts Get DisruptedAfter years of helping companies navigate digital transformation, Nearform now finds its own industry being reshaped by AI.25:45 – Knowing What to Build Is Still HardCiaran argues that judgment about what to build remains one of the biggest challenges for organizations using AI.29:38 – From Months of Prototyping to Days and WeeksAI-assisted development allows teams to move from ideas to prototypes much faster and examine more alternatives before committing.33:20 – Making More Bets With Greater OptionalityBarry explores how cheaper experimentation allows teams to test multiple possibilities instead of placing one large bet.36:06 – When Innovation Becomes the BottleneckCiaran explains why organizations need stronger filtering mechanisms as teams generate and prototype more ideas.39:18 – Turning AI's Potential Into RealityCiaran shares his optimism about putting AI into production and using it to build new services and tackle difficult problems.

A conversation on future of economics with Professor Sir Paul Collier of University of Oxford.

In this episode of the Fundraising Masterminds Podcast, we're debunking the myth of the Muller Mentality and looking at what George Muller actually believed about faith and fundraising.Join us for a deep dive into the life of Muller and his fundraising strategies. We will be tackling the topic from the perspective of his own autobiography: The Life of Trust: Being a Narrative of the Lord's Dealings with George Muller. We will discuss what the nonprofit legend didn't do, what he actually did, and what we should really take away from his legacy.Discover what Muller's actual life looked like, and how lessons from his fundraising have been distorted over time. Learn what he really believed about asking for money. Uncover if he really did "just pray" — or if there was something else that helped bring in the dollars. And ultimately, find out how George Muller raised $150,000,000 of today's currency — without explicitly asking for a penny.So whether you're a staunch supporter of Muller's anti-appeal approach, or just curious if he was really opposed to fundraising, this episode will give you the confidence you need to blend faith, prayer, and invitation into a balanced development strategy that takes intentional action while fully trusting God.Subscribe to our channel for more nonprofit mindset training!ASK US A QUESTION:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.speakpipe.com/fundraisingmasterminds⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NEED HELP WITH YOUR NONPROFIT?Most nonprofits are under-funded. Even if you think your nonprofit is doing well, we've found you could be doing much better. However, most nonprofits don't have a clear development strategy that keeps them grounded. As a result, they "get creative" and "try new things" based on what is popular or trending, or they get comfortable with where they are at and don't realize the dangers they will be facing in just a few short years.The Perfect Vision Dinner Course is a 20-week "live video" course that addresses this problem head on. The course was developed by Jim Dempsey after 38+ years as a Senior Development Director at Cru. After Jim had personally done over 2,500 vision dinners in his lifetime and raised over $1 billion worldwide, Jim and Jason have partnered together to bring you Fundraising Masterminds. Our first course, The Perfect Vision Dinner is a time-tested proven formula that will introduce our development system and grow your nonprofit to its maximum potential.The course includes 20-hours of personalized development coaching from Jim Dempsey and Jason Galicinski and also includes a real-time community group where you have access to everyone attending the course and also our Masterminds throughout the course.The goal for this course is to fully equip you with a Biblical basis for Development so that you can Win, Keep and Lift new partners to higher levels of involvement with your nonprofit. → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://FundraisingMasterminds.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠/discovery-callFOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA:→ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/fundraising.masterminds⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://facebook.com/fundraising.masterminds⁠⁠⁠Episode Keywords:the muller mentality, teh muller mentality, the myth of the muller mentality, myth of the muller mentality, muller mentality, debunking the myth of the muller mentality, fundraising masterminds, fundraising masterminds podcast, george muller, fundraising strategies, development strategy, balanced development strategy, nonprofits mindset training, jim dempsey, jason galicinski, nonprofit development, nonprofit development strategies, nonprofit fundraising strategies, nonporofits.

Amberlee Burrows says a nonprofit data strategy starts with the information behind every gift, donor record, and interaction. The Development and Salesforce Director at Bearing Tree explains that gift processing is not just administrative work. It creates donor intelligence that helps fundraisers improve communication and build stronger long-term relationships.Missing contact details, duplicate records, and delayed gift entry can lead to returned mail, awkward donor interactions, inaccurate tax receipts, missed major-gift opportunities, and fundraising asks based on an incomplete view of a donor's giving history. Amberlee shares how nonprofits can strengthen data quality, standardize gift processing, and make more informed fundraising decisions.In this episode:Why gift processing should be a core part of your nonprofit data strategy, not simply back-office workHow reliable donor data helps fundraisers build stronger, more personal donor relationshipsThe donor communication mistakes that can happen when gifts, contact details, and household records are not updatedHow duplicate donor records can split a donor's giving history and cause fundraisers to underestimate donor valueWhy incomplete donor profiles can lead teams to make the wrong ask amount or miss major-gift opportunitiesThree donor data quality checks to run: duplicate-contact reports, contact-completeness reports, and current-donor reportsHow to match potential duplicates using multiple fields, including donor name, email address, and mailing addressThe donor details to capture from mailed checks, online donations, campaign pages, and other everyday transactionsHow donor interests, program engagement, volunteer activity, and outreach history support segmentation and personalized communicationA realistic data standard for small and mid-sized nonprofits: every donor should have at least one valid contact methodWhy clear ownership, standardized gift-processing procedures, trained backups, timely deposits, and regular reconciliation reduce riskHow better gift processing can prevent lost checks, improve tax-receipt accuracy, reduce audit stress, and increase trust in the CRMWhy clean, connected donor records must come before AI, predictive analytics, and personalized major-gift outreachHow automating online gift processing into your CRM can reduce manual entry, limit human error, and give staff more time for donor stewardshipYou will leave with a clearer nonprofit data strategy for improving gift processing, strengthening donor data quality, using your CRM with greater confidence, and turning everyday donor information into fundraising intelligence.Episode highlights: (0:00) Intro (1:32) Where weak fundraising operations show up first (3:01) Why gift processing should be part of your nonprofit data strategy (4:17) How poor gift processing and data entry affect fundraising results (6:25) How duplicate donor records distort donor value (8:32) Three ways to check whether your donor data is good enough (13:03) How better gift processing and caging improve fundraising operations (17:09) The donor data you need for better segmentation and communication (19:30) A realistic nonprofit data strategy for small and mid-sized teams (21:32) Why clean donor data needs to come before AI and advanced analytics (26:04) The one gift-processing improvement to make in the next 30 days (27:38) Closing thoughtsGuest: Amberlee Burrows, Development and Salesforce Director, Bearing Tree https://bearingtree.com/Full transcript and show notes: https://www.anedot.com/blog/nonprofit-pulse-nonprofit-data-strategyMore episodes and the monthly newsletter: https://www.nonprofitpulse.com/If this was useful, follow Nonprofit Pulse wherever you listen.Nonprofit Pulse is a podcast by Anedot that explores trends, insights, and resources that help nonprofits accomplish their mission.

Nepal is still reeling from the devastation caused by recent flash floods. More than a thousand people are reported to have lost their lives and thousands more are still missing. The physical impact is extensive with many hydropower stations, providing the country's main source of energy, either damaged or destroyed. The floods have also severely impacted Nepal's other major industries including tourism. The concern now is that the billions of dollars required for Nepal to get back on its feet go way beyond its own resources. And reconstruction will mean elevating those measures required for monitoring and responding to future geological hazards and climate change. But right now, the country's road to recovery appears long, costly and almost impossible. So just how can Nepal's economy rebuild after floods?Contributors: Dr Neera Shrestha Pradhan, water and disaster risk reduction lead, International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development, Patan, Nepal Dr Dinesh Paudel, professor of sustainable development, Appalachian State University, North Carolina, USA Santosh Nepal, researcher in water resources and climate change, International Water Management Institute, Lalitpur, Nepal Ritu Bharadwaj, director climate resilience, finance and loss & damage, International Institute for Environment and Development, London, UK(Photo: An aerial view of houses surrounded by mud, rocks and debris following flash floods in Betravati village, Rasuwa, Nepal.

In this episode, Dr. Gwen Burnyeat explores the fascinating relationship between horses, politics, and identity in Colombia, revealing how equestrian practices reflect broader social and political dynamics. Dr Gwen Burnyeat is Associate Professor in Anthropology and Development at Oxford University. The world of Colombian gaited horses, or cultura caballista (horse-riding culture), is often linked with uribismo, the right-wing identity associated with former president Álvaro Uribe Vélez. Ethnographic fieldwork in conflict-torn Antioquia reveals how horse-human practices of training, breeding, and competition cultivate orientations toward hierarchical authority, disciplined hypermasculinity, and control over land and living bodies. This occurs within histories of racialized regional identity, paramilitarism, and narco-culture.

It wasn't always easy for two Belgian guys named Robin to build a shoe brand. Early production setbacks, finding investment, and eventually building a physical retail presence are never easy to contend with. But even though both Lennertson founders grew up in a culture of “we make and fix things around here,”building knowledge in footwear was perhaps their biggest hurdle—one they took on voraciously. Luckily they had plenty of help along the way—including for last development, thanks to dear friend of the pod Michael James at Springline in Northamptonshire. Robin's nerdiness for this stuff is impossible to ignore, as we spend ample time discussing of materials and construction, quality footwear business models, Lennertson's uniquely modular loafer, and what to expect from Lennertson at Stitchdown Expo 2026 Chicago. https://lennertson.com/ Support the Shoecast, get full bonus episode access, and join the most interesting shoe-and-boot-loving community on the internet with a Stitchdown Premium membershiphttps://www.stitchdown.com/join-stitchdown-premium/We'd better see you at Stitchdown Chicago 2026—the world's fair of shoes and boots and leather and more—Nov 6-7 at Artifact Events.https://www.stitchdownexpo.com/A website.

What Love Requires: A Parent's Journey Supporting a Transgender Child  What does love require when your child's journey challenges your expectations, fears, and instincts as a parent? In this episode of the Parenting Well Podcast, Dr. Shelly Mahon talks with Cat Lindsey, mother of a transgender daughter, and Cristian Solano-Córdova of Motus Theater about What Love Requires: Stories from Parents of Transgender and Nonbinary Adults. Cat shares her deeply personal journey, from witnessing her daughter's joy and self-expression, to navigating dysphoria and gender-affirming care, and learning what she needed to let go of as a parent. Cristian explains why Motus Theater uses first-person storytelling to create empathy and connection. At the heart of their conversation is a powerful reminder: “This is not about you. It's about your child.” In This Podcast We Talk About: Cat's family journey and her daughter's joy, creativity, and self-expression What dysphoria looked like during her daughter's high school years Navigating gender-affirming care and hormone therapy Advocating for your child while also working through your own fears and emotions The expectations parents may have for their child's future and what it can mean to let those expectations go The experience of seeing a child's joy and confidence return The importance of allowing young people to express themselves fully Learning when to step back and trust your child The importance of finding support for the entire family The differences between coming out today and coming out a decade ago Why parents' voices and personal stories matter How writing and performing a personal monologue can help others see the world through someone else's eyes The power of authentic storytelling to create connection and empathy Resources: Motus Theater Motus Theater creates original performances designed to facilitate dialogue on critical issues through autobiographical storytelling and community engagement.

She also reflects on how that joy diminished during high school as her daughter experienced dysphoria, and what Cat learned after witnessing her daughter's joy return following gender-affirming care. Cat's story offers an honest look at parenting, advocacy, regret, growth, and the process of learning to see your child's experience through their eyes. Meet Our Guests Cat Lindsey Cat Lindsey is a Colorado native and former professional actor who has spent the last couple of decades working in the nonprofit sector. She now works in the renewable energy industry, a transition she jokes will last “at least until I get replaced by AI.” Cat is the mother of a transgender daughter, and her personal story is featured in Motus Theater's What Love Requires through her monologue, “Joy to the World.” Cristian Solano-Córdova Cristian Solano-Córdova (he/they) is the Director of Communications, Outreach, and Development for Motus Theater, a Colorado-based nonprofit that uses autobiographical storytelling to foster dialogue, build empathy, and inspire social change. Originally from Chihuahua, Mexico, Cristian is a Denver-based DACA recipient who has spent more than a decade working at the intersection of immigrant rights, criminal legal reform, and LGBTQIA+ advocacy. He helped bring What Love Requires from concept to stage. Parenting Well Takeaway Our children are not here to fulfill the future we imagined for them. Parenting sometimes means confronting our own fears, expectations, disappointments, and desire to protect, then asking a more important question: What does my child need from me right now? Cat's story reminds us that supporting our children doesn't require us to have every answer. It requires us to listen, stay curious, be honest with ourselves, seek support, and make room for our children to become fully themselves. And sometimes, love requires letting go.

This Day in Legal History: Congress Creates the U.S. ArmyOn September 29, 1789—the very last day of the First Congress's inaugural session—the House and Senate passed the act that formally established the United States Army under the new Constitution. President Washington had pressed hard for it, reminding Congress that the militia provisions inherited from the Articles of Confederation were inadequate and that the nation needed a standing military establishment placed on a proper constitutional footing.The legal significance lies less in the creation of a fighting force than in how that force was subordinated. The Constitution had already divided military power deliberately: Congress alone can raise and fund armies and declare war, while the President serves as Commander-in-Chief. The 1789 Act operationalized that division, embedding the bedrock American principle of civilian control of the military—that the armed forces answer to elected civilian authority and operate within, not above, the rule of law. The Framers were deeply wary of standing armies and concentrated power; their answer was not to forbid a military, but to fracture control over it between the branches so no single actor could wield it unchecked.The significance of September 29, 1789 is that principle—power channeled through congressional authorization and constitutional limits rather than executive will alone. And that is precisely the thread running through our lead story today: a dispute over whether the executive branch can wield federal money as a lever to force its policy preferences on the states, or whether it may only do what Congress has actually authorized. The names change over 237 years; the fundamental question—who gets to exercise power, and with whose permission—does not.A federal judge has blocked the administration from tying federal counterterrorism grants to whether states adopt its preferred election-administration changes—the latest in a long string of election-related defeats we've tracked this month. Here's what the administration did: the Department of Homeland Security announced it would withhold 20% of funding under grant programs meant to help state and local governments prepare for terrorist attacks and other threats, unless those governments adopted election measures the administration favored. U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, in a 24-page opinion, sided with counties and cities in Texas, Ohio, and Tennessee that sued, holding that federal agencies simply lacked authority from Congress to attach those conditions to the grants. Let me put this in its constitutional frame, because it's a classic. The federal government routinely attaches strings to the money it gives states—that's the spending power, and it's legitimate within limits. But the Supreme Court set boundaries in cases like South Dakota v. Dole and, more forcefully, in the NFIB v. Sebelius healthcare decision: conditions must be clearly stated, must relate to the purpose of the funding, and can't be so coercive that they amount to a “gun to the head.” Conditioning anti-terrorism preparedness money on unrelated election changes runs into two of those problems at once—the germaneness requirement, since election administration has nothing to do with counterterrorism, and the basic separation-of-powers point that an agency can't invent conditions Congress never authorized. That last point is what Judge Ali hung his ruling on, and it's the same principle that decided the homelessness and mail-ballot cases: agencies have only the power Congress gives them. The significance is that this is now a consistent, rulings-deep pattern—court after court telling the executive it cannot use funding leverage, or agency fiat, to seize control over how states run their elections. On the anniversary of a law about channeling power through congressional authorization, it's a fitting rebuke.Judge blocks Trump from tying anti-terrorism grants to election changes | Reuters · PBS News · US NewsIn a notable reversal, Justice Samuel Alito has recused himself from a major climate-change case the Supreme Court is set to hear next week—and the move opens up real questions about both judicial ethics and the case's outcome. The case involves Boulder, Colorado, and its county, which sued Exxon Mobil and Suncor Energy seeking damages for the local harms of climate change; it's set for argument October 5. Environmental groups had pushed for Alito to step aside because he owns stock in oil-and-gas companies—ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66, among others—that, while not parties to this particular suit, plainly have interests riding on how the Court treats climate liability. Here's why the reversal is striking. Back in May, a Court spokeswoman said Alito would not recuse, on the theory that he had no financial interest in any actual party to the case. Now he's stepping aside anyway. This goes to the heart of the judicial-ethics debate that has dogged the Court: federal law, 28 U.S.C. § 455, requires a judge to disqualify when their impartiality might reasonably be questioned or when they have a financial interest in the subject matter in controversy—and Supreme Court justices, unlike lower-court judges, have historically decided their own recusal questions with no review and little explanation. Alito's flip suggests the pressure and scrutiny over the Court's ethics, which produced its first-ever formal code of conduct in 2023, is having an effect. And there's a concrete consequence: with only eight justices participating, the case could end in a 4-4 tie—which would leave the lower-court ruling in place without setting any national precedent. The significance is that it's a small but real sign of the Court responding to ethics scrutiny, and a reminder that in the climate-liability wars, procedural moves like a single recusal can matter as much as the merits.US Supreme Court's Alito won't participate in climate case involving oil companies | Reuters · CNBC · NBC NewsAnd finally, Florida has asked a court to bar OpenAI from developing new AI models without outside oversight—an extraordinary requested remedy that, if granted, would be one of the most aggressive judicial interventions into AI development we've seen. This is part of a lawsuit Florida's attorney general, James Uthmeier, filed in June, accusing OpenAI of misrepresenting ChatGPT's safety and of harming children—the complaint alleges the platform provided information to school shooters, offered guidance on self-harm, and was designed to addict young users. In Monday's filing, Florida escalated the requested relief dramatically: it asked the court to prohibit OpenAI from developing new models without external oversight, to order the company to keep minors off ChatGPT entirely, and to bar it from giving the chatbot “human attributes.” Let me unpack why that's such a big ask. Courts issue injunctions all the time, but a prohibitory injunction against building new products—essentially putting a court-supervised brake on a technology company's core R&D—is a remarkable expansion of the injunctive remedies we've discussed in the teen-harms cases. It raises hard questions about how far a court's equitable power can reach into ongoing innovation, and whether such sweeping prior restraint on development is even administrable. Notably, OpenAI says it has already paused training its most capable models and won't resume until additional safeguards are in place—which both undercuts the urgency Florida claims and signals the company sees the writing on the wall. Florida is the first state AG to sue OpenAI over harms to young users, though the company faces individual and family suits too, including ones tied to self-harm. And this connects to a huge thread we've followed all month—the Harvey guardrails acquisition, the ChatGPT-fabricated testimony, California's Adam's Law. The significance is that the legal system is now being asked not just to punish AI harms after the fact, but to preemptively supervise how these models get built—a genuine frontier for the law, and one courts will approach with real caution.Florida asks court to bar OpenAI from developing new models as part of child harm lawsuit | Reuters · US News · Lawyer Monthly This is a public episode.

Episode Detail John Kellington has spent his career on every side of the same question: how does data move reliably across an industry built on thousands of separate systems that all need to talk to each other? He's built the standards, lived by them as a carrier CIO, and now, as the new CEO of ACORD, he's back to run the organization that sets them for the entire global insurance industry. In this conversation, Kellington and Bryan dig into what ACORD actually does beyond its well-known forms library, why AI in insurance can only be as trustworthy as the data underneath it, and how a reference architecture built inside IBM more than 30 years ago is still shaping how the industry should think about modeling risk today, including the messy, high-volume data coming from connected cars and IoT devices that doesn't fit neatly into any existing field. Guest Bio John Kellington is the Chief Executive Officer of ACORD (the Association for Cooperative Operations Research and Development), the insurance industry's global standards-setting body. He returned to ACORD in August 2026 after 16 years as Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer of The Cincinnati Insurance Company, where he applied an architecture-led model to transform the carrier's technology operations. Kellington began his career at IBM, then spent seven years as a carrier technology leader at Ohio Casualty (later acquired by Liberty Mutual). He previously spent three years at ACORD as Senior Vice President of Standards Development, Information Technology, Corporate Finance and Membership, where he helped develop what is now known as the ACORD Reference Architecture. This episode was recorded live at ACORD Connect 2026. Show Notes: What ACORD Actually Does: Reach: roughly 30,000 participants worldwide set data exchange standards across the global insurance industry through ACORD, not just forms. Still forms, but not only forms: ACORD maintains roughly 800 to 900 active forms, but the bigger job now is electronic data exchange, getting carrier, agency, and vendor systems to talk to each other in the same format. Where competition actually lives: exchanging data isn't a competitive advantage. What a carrier does with that data in underwriting, pricing, and service is where the real competition happens. Why ACORD Has to Stay Independent: Owned by the industry: ACORD runs on membership dollars, not venture capital or any single company, which Kellington says is the only reason it can set standards without an agenda. "Switzerland": his own word for ACORD's role. Not a vendor, not a carrier, not a broker, just an organization funded to make the industry work better. The line it won't cross: if ACORD ever competed directly with the vendors and carriers it serves, he says it would lose the credibility to set standards for the industry. AI Needs Trust Before It Needs Anything Else: The core argument: AI can only "flourish" in insurance if it's built on data that is consistent and traceable, exactly what standards provide. "Invent from here": Kellington's framing for the industry's next move. Build on the existing standardized data pipeline rather than reinventing it from scratch. AI as the bridge: he sees AI solving the industry's hardest data problem, the huge volume of freeform text and inconsistent formats that never fit neatly into a standard field. The ACORD Reference Architecture, Explained: Where it came from: intellectual property IBM and Prima Solutions donated to ACORD, building on modeling work IBM's research team did decades earlier. Kellington helped bring that donation in. What it is: Kellington calls it the most advanced model of the insurance world in existence, broad enough to represent literally anything that can be insured. What it did for one carrier: he personally used it to transform Cincinnati Insurance's IT organization, driving reuse, lower cost, and higher software quality across the company's systems. What the Industry Needs to Do Its Part: Start with distribution: when agents and brokers voice a need clearly, carriers listen, and when carriers listen, vendors follow. Build a community, not just a standard: Kellington wants an "architecture community" of the people who actually work inside these systems, improving the Reference Architecture together rather than leaving it to ACORD alone. His near-term goal as CEO: define a clear future state for how the industry's tools should work together, then map the practical steps to get there.

In June this year, hundreds of people took to the streets in Vancouver to oppose the construction of two new AI data centres in the city. Vancouver city council has shunted the decision for a Telus-Westbank data centre in Mount Pleasant until after the municipal election but there are many more coming down the pipe across Canada. We speak with Anne Pasek, associate professor at Trent University and one of the authors of the toolkit Resisting Data Centre Development in Canada.

Managers are expected to handle everything from one-to-ones and development conversations to absence, performance issues and disciplinaries. Yet many step into management without having been properly taught how to deal with these responsibilities. For HR and People professionals, finding a way to build managers' knowledge and confidence without overwhelming them can be a real challenge.In this special bonus episode of HR Coffee Time, Fay Wallis is joined by Amy Critchley, Head of People at Indigo Networks. Amy explains how she created a management development programme from scratch after joining an organisation that had not previously had a dedicated HR or People team.Amy shares practical ideas for combining essential HR knowledge with wider management development, making potentially dry subjects more engaging and helping learning stick.

How do you tell someone not to poach when they are poaching to eat? Rendani Nenguda, Senior Research Associate at Oppenheimer Generations Research and Conservation, grappled with that question early in her career. Her answer reframes the whole debate: nature underpins everything, so the choice is not whether Africa grows but whether it grows in a nature-supportive or a nature-erosive way. This episode opens a series recorded around the 15th Oppenheimer Research Conference in Midrand (7 to 9 October 2026), where African scientists present African research. Rendani explains why 1.5 degrees globally means far more in Southern Africa, how 747 early-career applicants became three finalists for one USD 150,000 grant, why a new fungus may be named after a schoolchild, and why the cities Africans will live in are not built yet. Share it with anyone who calls conservation a luxury.

Mary Sullivan, co-founder of Sweet but Fearless, talks with Sharitta Marshall, founder of Visionary Development Consulting, about how leaders can use AI as a tool to strengthen, not replace, their skills, judgment, and experience. AI may be powerful, but it isn't smarter than you. The real opportunity comes from understanding how AI is changing your industry, influencing your everyday life, and where it can best support your decision-making process. Sharitta encourages leaders to think of AI like a vehicle: it can help move you forward, but where you end up depends on where you're going, what you're trying to accomplish, and how intentionally you use it. This conversation is a practical reminder that effective leadership in an AI-driven world isn't about having all the answers, it's about asking better questions and knowing when technology can help you make smarter, more informed decisions.   ABOUT SHARITTA MARSHALL: LinkedIn – Sharitta Marshall Website – Visionary Development Consulting Book – "The Unwritten Rules Are Meant to Be Broken: Breaking Barriers, Thriving in Corporate Spaces, and Redefining Success as a Black Leader" ABOUT SWEET BUT FEARLESS: Website - Sweet but Fearless LinkedIn - Sweet but Fearless

His latest book is Free Agents: How Evolution Gave Us Free Will. In this episode, we talk about the study of individual differences in psychological traits. We start by discussing what they are. We talk about process ontology and dynamical systems theory. We discuss animal models and ecology. We talk about what we can learn from behavioral genetics, the concept of heritability, and the role of the environment and gene-environment correlations. We discuss misconceptions people have about group differences. We talk about the role of randomness in development and psychology.

Feature flagging is almost as old as software engineering – but only since the increased adoption of AIDLC (AI- Delivery Life Cycle) it has really taking off like AI has taken off as the default way to generate code!In this episode we welcome back Todd Baert, Maintainer of OpenFeature, and learn about the many different use cases of Feature Flagging. Todd explains how feature flagging evolved from simple variables that pivot code execution towards dynamic evaluations that are supported by modern frameworks like OpenFeature and feature flag management systems that are based on that cloud native standard.Tune in and learn what the biggest competitors of OpenFeature are, why feature flagging requires less thinking during development than you think and how it mitigates the risk of AI generated code having negative impact on your systems resiliency!LinksTodd's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/toddbaert/OpenFeature: https://openfeature.dev/Introducing OpenFeature Podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/introducing-openfeature-stepping-into-the-footsteps-of-opentelemetry-with-mike-beemer-and-todd-baert--50043067

“Kennedy and Trump are taking a wrecking ball to probably the most important thing we have done consistently better than the rest of the world over the last eighty years, and I don't get it.” — Barry Werth Last week on the show, the San Francisco based AI mogul and Eureka Machine author Richard Socher promised a scientific renaissance in which AI will cure everything. Socher's eureka moment, however, may have already occurred. Not with AI, but with big pharma. At least according to Barry Werth who has spent the last thirty-five years writing about American pharma. Indeed, his new book The Age of Cures: How American Scientists Saved Your Life, a twentieth century history of big pharma, completes a trilogy that began with The Billion-Dollar Molecule in 1994. When it comes to medical breakthroughs, Barry Werth isn't particularly optimistic on the AI front. It will add more data to preexisting mountains of data, he warns. And Werth reports that many leading scientific designers of drugs don't think it will change much. Given, however, the hundreds of billions of dollars now being poured into its ecosystem, what today's AI revolution does instead is remind you what a real scientific breakthrough costs, both politically and economically. Thus the significance of The Age of Cures, which The New York Times is already recommending. In his new history, Werth reminds us that ninety years ago there were almost no drugs for anything. Penicillin was discovered by accident in 1928, and by 1941 there was only enough of it to treat a single London policeman — who began to recover, then died when the supply ran out. Cutting edge technology plus state investment changed everything. The engineer and scientific mandarin Vannevar Bush (the guy who also first imagined the internet) persuaded FDR to fund science publicly without conscripting the scientists. And Bush's Office of Scientific Research and Development, the same state institution that fathered the Manhattan Project, made penicillin for D-Day its number one priority. Bush then ensured the arrangement continued in peacetime, which it did, for eighty years. According to Werth, both big pharma's idealism and its now much derided financial ambition were real. George Merck's famous line about medicine being for people, not for profits, is true — as long as we remember that those profits will follow from life-saving drugs. What broke this virtuous cycle, Werth argues, was the Wall Street short-termism of the greed-is-good Eighties that focused only on quarterly profits. So today, the term Big Pharma is mostly used as an insult. Big Tech moguls like Richard Socher should thus read Barry Werth's The Age of Cures with particular care. Further Reading: •       The Age of Cures: How American Scientists Saved Your Life by Barry Werth (Simon & Schuster, September 22, 2026), one of the New York Times' recommended books this week — the third book written, and the first chronologically, in a trilogy that began with The Billion-Dollar Molecule (1994) and continued with The Antidote: Inside the World of New Pharma (2014).•       “The system that saved your life is being destroyed” — Werth's own excerpt from the book, in Fortune.•       Science, the Endless Frontier — Vannevar Bush's 1945 report to President Truman, still cited today, and the founding document of American public-private science. Reissued by Princeton University Press with essays on what it got right and wrong.•       Empire of Pain by Patrick Radden Keefe, a recent guest on this show, on the Sacklers and OxyContin, and No More Tears on Johnson & Johnson — the case for the prosecution, raised in this conversation.•       Earlier this week on Keen On: Richard Socher on why AI will unlock a new scientific renaissance — the argument this episode answers. Five Takeaways •       Before the Cures. The premise is a fact most people have forgotten: as recently as eighty or ninety years ago there were almost no drugs for any disease. There were natural substances discovered over the eons, and no established method for finding new medicines. Paul Ehrlich postulated that chemicals could treat disease; it took another twenty years before the sulfa drugs suggested he might be right. The story Werth uses to make it concrete is penicillin. Discovered by accident in 1928 when mould spores drifted into Alexander Fleming's laboratory, it was still so scarce in 1941 — during the Blitz, before America entered the war — that the entire synthesized supply went to one very sick London policeman. He started to recover. They ran out. They harvested what they could from his urine and reinjected it. He died. The British scientists then came to the United States hat in hand, having found no American company willing to take it on.•       Vannevar Bush's Machine. What turned that around is the book's central argument, and its hero is not a chemist. Vannevar Bush was an electrical engineer who had built one of the first room-sized analog computers. Surveying American science in 1940, he and a handful of other administrators found it disorganized and no match for the Germans, who had the best chemistry in the world. Bush went to Franklin Roosevelt alone with a proposal: fund it publicly, but don't draft the scientists into the military as in the First World War; let committees of leading scientists make the decisions, distribute the work widely, and make rivals cooperate. The result was the Office of Scientific Research and Development — better known for fathering the Manhattan Project — whose head of medical research, Alfred Newton Richards, made penicillin for D-Day the number one priority and delivered it. Afterwards Bush wrote Science, the Endless Frontier, the 1945 report arguing the partnership should continue in peacetime. It did. Sustained federal funding, transparency, cooperation between companies, universities and government: that, Werth says, is how America got great at science. AK's summary: cutting edge technology plus state investment changed everything.•       Medicine Is for People. George Merck — whose family had been in the pharmaceutical business in Germany since the 1600s, and who was sent to Harvard to become a chemist before anti-German feeling in the First World War pushed him into the family firm — was on the cover of Time the week Werth was born in 1952, under the line that medicine is for the people. The usual ...
