South Africa Moves to Digital Era with New ETA System by Radio Islam

International Literacy Day is observed annually on September 8th to raise awareness of the importance of literacy as a matter of dignity and human rights. In 2025, the theme "Promoting Literacy in the Digital Era" emphasizes the need to reimagine literacy for the 21st century, where digital tools, access to technology, and inclusive learning platforms have become central to literacy acquisition. As Nigeria grapples with significant literacy challenges—especially among out-of-school children, displaced populations, and rural communities—this podcast aims to spotlight how digital transformation can be harnessed to bridge literacy gaps and promote inclusive foundational learning for all.

Actionable TakeawayStop hiding parts of yourself at work and bring more of who you are into the room.Swap “fearlessness” for courage: feel the fear and move forward anyway.Use vulnerability as a strength because it builds trust faster than pretending you've got it all together.Take a pause to breathe before big conversations because it shifts the whole energy.Get clear on your personal “why” instead of borrowing the company's version.Connect with your team on something beyond KPIs because that's where loyalty lives.Notice where technology helps but don't outsource the human touch.Find your own shape of brilliance and stop squeezing into boxes you don't fit. Connect with Anne Robie:Learn more about Anne RobieAnne on LinkedInConnect with Christian "Boo" Boucousis:Learn more about Christian BoucousisBoo on LinkedInBoo on InstagramBoo on YouTube Support the Podcast:If this episode meant something to you, please consider subscribing and reviewing the show.

In Episode 63 of the State of the Market for Law Firm Sales in 11 Minutes, Senior Attorney Match's Jeremy E. Poock, Esq. addresses the following: The Clock Has Begun Ticking on Law Firm Sales 1.0   As Poock explains, the clock has begun ticking on Law Firm Sales 1.0 because of the ongoing impact of Digital Disruption upon business development for lawyers in today's post-2020, 3.0 Digital Era for the legal industry.   Unlike the pre-Google, 1.0 Word-of-Mouth Era in which Senior Attorneys built their Books of Business as Rainmaker Attorneys, today's and tomorrow's clients by-pass Rainmaker Attorneys and search Google, as well as additional digital platforms (egs. LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and more), to search for lawyers and law firms to hire.   That Digital Disruption to business development in the legal industry has also caused the clock to start ticking upon Law Firm Sales 1.0, in which selling law firms benefit from fee sharing derived from the performance of their Books of Business, for the following reason:   If a selling law firm's Book of Business diminishes as a result of Digital Disruption in today's 3.0 Digital Era for the legal industry, the value of their earnouts via Law Firm Sales 1.0 will diminish as well.   Poock also explains that the clock has begun ticking upon Law Firm Sales 1.0 because Growing Law Firms may soon prefer acquiring new clients via Multi-Channel Digital Marketing, rather than paying referral fees in consideration of the Books of Business of Senior Attorney-led firms.   As Poock states, “[W]e're starting to see . . . in the marketplace that Growing Law Firms may very well not need to acquire Senior Attorney firms because their customer acquisition cost, that is, their new client acquisition costs could be less expensive and more efficient via their Multi-Channel Digital Marketing.”   And, as Poock has shared in previous podcasts, for those Senior Attorney-led firms that will not adopt Multi-Channel Digital Marketing to replenish their Books of Business, the best time to sell is now, while Growing Law Firm purchasers continue to want and need their: (1) Book of Business; (2) Experienced workforce; and (3) Subject Matter Knowledge to convert into digital to attract the attention of today's and tomorrow's potential clients who search online for lawyers and law firms to hire.

In Ep. 62 of the State of the Market for Law Firm Sales in 11 Minutes, Senior Attorney Match's Jeremy E. Poock, Esq. addresses the following: The Impact of Digital Rainmaking upon Law Firm Sales   As Poock explains, society's digital pivot in 2020 has revolutionized rainmaking in the legal industry as follows:   Unlike the pre-Google, pre-2020 Era during which Rainmaker Attorneys developed clients in-person and via Word-of-Mouth referrals, today's 3.0 Digital Era for the legal industry involves Digital Rainmakers whose law firms attract the online attention of prospective clients who search Google and multiple digital platforms (egs. LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and more) for lawyers and law firms to hire.   Based upon the rise of Digital Rainmakers and the vanishing Word-of-Mouth Rainmakers, Poock shares the following 2 observations:   Observation No. 1: Those Senior Attorneys who do not commit to Multi-Channel Digital Marketing will not replenish their all-important Books of Business with new clients as often as during the pre-2020, pre-Google Era.   As a result, the value of their law firms will continue to decrease because of the correlation in Law Firm Sales 1.0 between a purchaser fee sharing upon revenues attributable to a selling law firm's Book of Business and the number of clients that comprise that Book of Business, i.e., as the Book of Business of a selling law firm's Book of Business decreases, so will the value of the firm itself.   Observation No. 2: As Growing Law Firms continue adopting Multi-Channel Digital Marketing to attract the attention of today's and tomorrow's clients who search online when considering hiring a lawyer or law firm, their practices will continue becoming more valuable because of the following 2 assets that Digital Rainmaker law firms continue developing:   (1) Digital Value   (2) Brand Equity   As Poock states, “[I]n Law Firm Sales 2.0, we are going to see higher multiples . . .because the sellers are selling not only the Book of Business, but also that Digital Value and Brand Equity . . . .”   For those Senior Attorneys who will not become Digital Rainmakers, Poock shares the following points:   If you already attract less clients than pre-2020, now is the best time to consider selling your law firm because Law Firm Sales 1.0 involves deriving value via an earnout based upon collections attributable to a selling law firm's Book of Business.   So far, the digital disruption in the legal industry has primarily disrupted rainmaking, i.e., business development.   Even though Senior Attorney-led firms may not develop as many new clients during today's 3.0 Digital Era, Growing Law Firms continue to need the following 3 resources that Senior Attorney-led firms offer: (a) Instant client growth; (b) Experienced lawyers and para-staff; and (c) Subject Matter Knowledge to convert to digital content.   As Poock states, “Even if your Book of Business is not replenishing as much as yester-year . . . you present an experienced workforce, and you have Subject Matter Knowledge that Growing Law Firms want and need because they need to convert your Subject Matter Knowledge into digital content to attract today's and tomorrow's clients who are looking to Digital Rainmakers that will catch their attention when they're looking to hire lawyers and law firms to meet their legal needs.”

Shake Shack began in 2001 as a single hot dog cart in New York City and grew into a global fast-casual chain known for quality ingredients and a strong hospitality ethos.

During Ep. 26 of the Ask the Law Firm Seller Show, Jeremy E. Poock, Esq. addresses the following question: Why do Growing Law Firms want to purchase Senior Attorney-led Law Firms? Poock answers this question by explaining the following 4 upgrades that Senior Attorney-led Law Firms present to Growing Law Firms:   Upgrade 1: Instant upgrade to a Growing Law Firm's Book of Business by acquiring the Book of Business that a Senior Attorney-led firm has developed over the course of a career.   Upgrade 2: Upgrade to a Growing Law Firm's workforce by welcoming experienced and talented key employee lawyers and para-staff as part of growth by acquisition.   Upgrade 3: An upgrade to subject matter knowledge depth in multiple practice areas that Senior Attorneys and their key employee lawyers bring to a Growing Law Firm.   As Poock explains, “[B]y bringing in Senior Attorney lawyers and the lawyers that practice at their firms, they have often decades of subject matter knowledge that is going to make your [growing] practice more valuable by offering even more talent to your current clients and prospective clients.”   Upgrade 4: A Digital Value Upgrade, which includes the following (i) Adding bios of Senior Attorneys and additional lawyers to a Growing Law Firm's website; (ii) Adding pre-existing 5-Star Google Reviews and requesting new 5-Star Google Reviews from satisfied clients among a Senior Attorney-led Firm's Book of Business; and (iii) Convert Subject Matter Knowledge into digital content for a Growing Law Firm to post to multiple channels of social media (egs.

During Ep. 25 of the Ask the Law Firm Seller Show, Jeremy E. Poock, Esq. addresses the following question: Why should Growing Law Firms pursue growth by acquisition? As Poock explains, Growing Law Firms share the following 3 needs when it comes to their interest to boost the growth of their firms.   (1) They need new clients.   (2) They need an experienced workforce, including talented lawyers and support staff.   (3) During today's 3.0 Digital Era for the legal industry, they need digital content to attract the attention of today's and tomorrow's clients, who continue to look online for lawyers and law firms to hire.   Growing Law Firms should pursue growth by acquisition because doing so fulfills their 3 needs, as follows:   (1) Senior Attorney-led firms have developed Books of Business literally over decades, which present instant client growth to an acquiring law firm.   (2) Senior Attorney-led firms typically have key employee lawyers and para-staff who want and need the following that Growing Law Firms can offer: A Reliable, Safe & Predictable Job.   (3) Senior Attorneys and their talented lawyer staff present treasure chests of subject matter knowledge that Growing Law Firms can convert to digital content to publish to multiple channels of digital marketing (egs. LinkedIn & Facebook posts, podcasts, YouTube videos, a monthly e-newsletter, Instagram reels, and more).   Poock also points out that the long-time, satisfied clients of a Senior Attorney-led firm present opportunities to request 100s of 5-Star Google Reviews, which today's new clients continue relying upon as they consider retaining a lawyer or law firm.   In summary, Poock explains the following:   “[I]f you are running a firm and you're thinking about how to grow, what do you need? You need new clients. You need an experienced workforce, and you need digital content to attract the attention of today's and tomorrow's clients who are looking digitally . . . before they are making a call or sending in a contact form or a text to a law firm that they want to hire.   Senior Attorney-led firms check all of those boxes by offering them the Book of Business that Senior Attorneys have developed over the course of their careers. They have lawyers and the Senior Attorneys themselves . . . plus para-staff.  And, they offer literally treasure chests of digital content to Growing Law Firms.”

During Ep. 25 of the Ask the Law Firm Seller Show, Jeremy E. Poock, Esq. addresses the following question: Why should Senior Attorney-led Firms consider selling or merging with a Growing Law Firm in the Mid-2020s?   As Poock explains, those Senior Attorneys who built their Books of Business during the pre-Google Word-of-Mouth Era will not originate as many clients as yester-year because today's (and tomorrow's) clients continue searching for lawyers and law firms via “Uncle Google,” America's greatest referral source and rainmaker for law firms in today's Digital Era for the legal industry.   As Poock states, “[B]usiness development for law firms fundamentally changed post-2020. And, the reason why is because of a shift in consumer behavior . . . They are going straight to Google . . . And, for those law firms that are investing in multi-channel digital marketing, they're attracting more clients than those than those . . . Senior Attorney-led firms that are maintaining a website only, Word-of-Mouth type approach.”   As Poock also explains, “[I]f your firm is generating less clients in the post-2020 era because you're not investing in digital marketing to attract new clients, and if you're seeing that your firm is not generating as many clients as you did in the pre-Google Word-of-Mouth era, then now is the right time to sell.”   This episode also explains that Growing Law Firms want and need the following 3 resources that Senior Attorney-led firms offer:   (1) New clients from a Senior Attorney-led firm's Book of Business.   (2) Key employee lawyers and para-staff; and   (3) Treasure chests of subject matter knowledge to convert into digital content to attract the attention of today's (and tomorrow's) clients who search for lawyer and law firms online.   In addition, Poock debunks the following 3 fears that many Senior Attorneys express about selling or merging with a Growing Law Firm:   (1) Fear of having a Boss   (2) Fear of losing control by no longer managing “the office”   (3) Fear of loss of identity by transitioning from owning a law firm to joining a Growing Law Firm   And, the episode concludes with the following overview of typical payment terms by Growing Law Firms when acquiring Senior Attorney-led firms:   “What we're seeing, and what we call Law Firm Sales 1.0, is that when you are transitioning your Book of Business (your clients and your referral sources) to the lawyers at Growing Law Firms . . . that the consideration is structured as an earnout, that is, that you're being paid a percentage of the revenues that is derived from your Book of Business, paid over a negotiated period of time, which often happens during your retirement years. Hence, you're able to monetize, annuitize that all important Book of Business that you've worked so hard over the course of your career to develop.”

In this episode, Aaron and I explore how AI is reshaping motivational content, from remixed clips of figures like Huberman and Dispenza to imagined mashups of Steve Jobs and Tony Robbins. We dive into the evolution of motivational media, questioning whether AI-enhanced messages empower or dilute the core message. Using stories like the Outdoor Boys' content remixing, we examine what this means for creators and consumers. The takeaway: motivation has gone digital, but action still matters most. Whether crafted by humans or algorithms, the real growth comes when we turn inspiration into effort and move beyond passive consumption into real-world application.--------- EPISODE CHAPTERS ---------(0:00:01) - Lessons and Implementation via AI(0:03:56) - Navigating Information in the Digital Age(0:17:51) - AI Recreates Inspirational Commencement Speech(0:31:47) - Building Habits and Motivation(0:35:35) - Exploring AI and Digital Influence(0:41:01) - Navigating Reality in Digital Era(0:49:14) - Implementing Lessons From Books and AISend us a text

In this episode of The Feminist Bar, host Tinatswe Mhaka is joined by Gloria Chikaonda to explore what it means to create feminist art, content, and education in a digital age that often feels like it's turning against us. As social media expands access to storytelling and political discourse, it also becomes a battleground—where feminist creators face algorithmic suppression, coordinated harassment, and pushback from anti-woke, red pill, and reactionary movements. Together, Tinatswe and Gloria unpack the paradox of digital platforms: increased visibility comes with increased vulnerability. They reflect on how parasocial dynamics, virality, ego, and burnout shape the work—and what strategies can help feminist creators resist co-optation, censorship, and fatigue. From alternative platforms and digital security to community-led learning and archiving, this episode is a call to imagine new ways of creating and resisting in the face of a growing digital backlash.
