Today, cities such as Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York City are under heightened scrutiny, with political narratives around “crime” fueling discussions of potential federal or state intervention. These dynamics echo a long history of power struggles—from Reconstruction, when the federal government deployed forces to protect Black citizens, to the Civil Rights Movement, when federal oversight was critical in advancing desegregation and voting rights. This episode explores the ongoing and historical dynamics of federal and state intervention in cities with large Black populations—particularly when those cities are led by Black mayors.

Over the summer we checked in with LA Taco's Javier Cabral about the scary ICE raids  in L.A. and their terrifying effect on the food community there. But the situation in Chicago is in many ways equally dire. ICE raids as part of Trump's Operation Midway Blitz have terrified Latino neighborhoods in Chicago. Street vendors are scared to set up shop and many restaurants find themselves with many empty tables that were previously filled. Here to keep us up to speed about what's happening in the Windy City is the Chicago Tribune's Zareen Syed and Marcos Carbajal, the second generation Mexican-American owner of Carnitas Uruapan.

เคยรู้สึกไหมว่า “โรงเรียน” ที่เราเรียนกันมา มันไม่ค่อยเปลี่ยนแปลงไปเลย ลองนึกภาพตาม ห้องเรียนเมื่อ 100 ปีที่แล้ว: มีคุณครูยืนอยู่หน้าห้อง, มีนักเรียนนั่งเป็นแถว, มีกระดานดำ, ทุกคนเรียนวิชาเดียวกัน, ด้วยความเร็วเท่ากัน, พอระฆังดัง ก็เปลี่ยนวิชา ตัดภาพมาที่ปัจจุบัน ห้องเรียนในศตวรรษที่ 21: ก็ยังมีคุณครูยืนอยู่หน้าห้อง, นักเรียนนั่งเป็นแถว, อาจจะเปลี่ยนจากกระดานดำเป็น Whiteboard หรือ Smart TV, แต่แก่นแท้… มันคือโมเดลเดิม เราเรียกโมเดลนี้ว่า “โมเดลโรงงานอุตสาหกรรม” เป้าหมายของมันคือการผลิต “ผลผลิต” ที่มีมาตรฐานเดียวกันออกมา เพื่อป้อนเข้าสู่ระบบแรงงานในยุคปฏิวัติอุตสาหกรรม มันถูกออกแบบมาเพื่อ “ค่าเฉลี่ย” เด็กที่เก่งมากๆ ก็ต้องนั่งรอเพื่อนที่เรียนช้ากว่า… แล้วก็เบื่อ เด็กที่เรียนช้าหน่อย ก็ตามไม่ทัน… แล้วก็ท้อ ส่วนคุณครู ก็ต้องพยายามสอนเนื้อหาให้จบตามหลักสูตร ต้องดูแลเด็ก 20-30 คนในห้อง ต้องตรวจการบ้าน… มันคือภาระงานที่หนักมากๆ เรื่องนี้เป็นปัญหาที่ทุกคนรู้ แต่ไม่มีใครแก้ได้จริงๆ โดยเฉพาะในตลาดโรงเรียนระดับบน อย่างโรงเรียนนานาชาติ ผู้ปกครองยอมจ่ายเงินปีละหลายแสน หรือแตะล้าน เพื่อแลกกับสิ่งอำนวยความสะดวกที่ดีกว่า, ครูต่างชาติ, และคอนเนคชัน แต่สุดท้าย “ระบบปฏิบัติการ” ของการเรียน… มันก็ยังเป็นโมเดลโรงงานอยู่ดี เลือกฟังกันได้เลยนะครับ อย่าลืมกด Follow ติดตาม PodCast ช่อง Geek Forever's Podcast ของผมกันด้วยนะครับ #AlphaSchool #โรงเรียนAlpha #การศึกษาอนาคต #AIการศึกษา #AIสอนหนังสือ #เรียนวันละ2ชั่วโมง #2HourLearning #ทักษะชีวิต #โรงเรียนนานาชาติ #DisruptEducation #ปฏิวัติการศึกษา #MacKenziePrice #โรงเรียนAI #อนาคตการศึกษา #geektalk #geekforeverpodcast

The global conversation around oil is evolving—shaped by the forces of energy transition, geopolitical tension, and accelerating technology. Even as the world races toward decarbonization, demand for reliable, dispatchable energy continues to climb. Oil and gas together still supply just over half of global primary energy, underscoring their enduring role in the world's power mix even as renewable capacity expands year after year. Whoever controls the next wave of energy discoveries will shape not only markets but geopolitics.Could a remote, largely unknown oil basin in Greenland disrupt the world's balance of energy power?Welcome to DisruptED. In the latest episode, host Ron J. Stefanski welcomes Larry Swets, CEO of Greenland Exploration Limited, and Robert Price of March GL Company, to discuss the formation of Greenland Energy Company—a newly merged venture focused on developing the Jameson Land Basin in East Greenland. The conversation explores how decades of ARCO seismic data, innovative financing strategies, and a commitment to responsible energy exploration are converging to unlock one of the Arctic's most promising untapped oil and gas basins.Key insights from the conversation…Using previously unreleased seismic data from ARCO (a prominent former global oil and gas company), Price and his team identified major oil markers genetically linked to the North Sea, suggesting billions of barrels of generated oil in the Jameson Basin.Swets partnered with Price through the merger of Greenland Exploration and March GL Company, forming Greenland Energy Company to advance oil and gas development in Greenland's Jameson Land Basin.While pursuing oil exploration, the team emphasizes responsible energy transition—integrating carbon sequestration, hydrogen alternatives, and supporting Greenland's path toward economic independence.Larry Swets is the Chief Executive Officer of Greenland Exploration Limited, one of the founding companies behind the creation of Greenland Energy Company through its merger with March GL Company and Pelican Acquisition Corporation. Under his leadership, Greenland Exploration has played a central role in advancing responsible oil and gas development within Greenland's Jameson Land Basin, one of the Arctic's most promising undrilled hydrocarbon regions. Swets has been instrumental in aligning financial strategy with energy innovation, guiding the company's efforts to responsibly unlock new resources that could reshape Greenland's economy and strengthen Western energy security.Robert Price is a veteran energy executive with extensive experience in oil and gas exploration and project development. At March GL Company, he has overseen the reprocessing of 1,800 kilometers of ARCO's historical seismic data, identifying more than 50 potential oil and gas targets within Greenland's Jameson Land Basin. Price has been a driving force behind the technical and operational foundation of the Greenland Energy Company, emphasizing environmental responsibility, regulatory collaboration, and modern exploration methods to advance one of the Arctic's most significant new energy frontiers.

When Kathy Chester lost her eyesight in one eye on Mother's Day over twenty years ago, she had no idea this would be the beginning of her journey with multiple sclerosis. As a former gym owner and lifelong athlete, her first instinct was to "run it out"—pushing her body harder in hopes of defeating the disease through sheer determination. Today, that fighting spirit has evolved into something far more powerful.Kathy joins us to share her transformation from newly diagnosed patient to empowered advocate as the host of the MS Disrupted podcast and coach for people living with chronic illnesses. Her philosophy challenges conventional thinking: instead of focusing on limitations, she asks "what am I willing to lose?"—a question that sparked her movement-focused approach to managing MS and rheumatoid arthritis.The conversation delves into the complex emotional landscape of chronic illness, particularly the anxiety that often accompanies diagnosis and progression. All three speakers acknowledge the struggle to extend grace to themselves despite readily offering it to others. Kathy emphasizes the importance of connecting with people who truly understand this unique anxiety, noting that support from those with similar experiences provides validation that well-meaning but uninformed supporters cannot.From practical advice about distinguishing between normal exercise soreness and disease symptoms to red flags when evaluating potential partnerships with health companies, Kathy offers invaluable insights gained through both personal experience and professional expertise. Her expanded support group acknowledges that autoimmune conditions often appear in clusters, creating spaces where people with multiple diagnoses can find comprehensive understanding.Whether you're living with chronic illness, supporting someone who does, or simply interested in transforming how we approach health challenges, Kathy's disrupting philosophy offers a refreshing perspective.

The mental health crisis has reached alarming levels across the globe. Rates of anxiety and depression continue to climb, with the World Health Organization estimating that one in eight people worldwide now live with a mental health disorder. At the same time, access to care remains limited — especially for young people and those in underserved communities. But as AI becomes more capable of mimicking human conversation and empathy, a new question emerges: could technology itself help close the care gap?Can artificial intelligence not only simulate empathy, but actually support emotional well-being in safe, ethical, and clinically informed ways? Or does introducing AI into this most human of domains risk deepening mistrust and misinformation?Welcome to DisruptED. In the first episode of this two-part series, host Ron J Stefanski sits down with Alex Frenkel, the CEO of Kai, an AI-powered mental health platform that blends human clinicians with conversational AI. Together, they explore whether technology can truly make mental health support more accessible — and what responsible innovation looks like when the stakes are this high.Key takeaways…Human + AI Collaboration: Frenkel explains how Kai integrates clinical expertise with AI technology to offer 24/7 emotional support — ensuring that humans remain “in the loop” at every step.Safety and Ethics in AI Therapy: The platform uses proprietary, clinician-monitored data and safety protocols to prevent misinformation or harmful responses, a critical issue in the emerging “AI for care” space.Personalized and Scalable Support: Through messaging platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram, Kai tailors programs to users' unique emotional needs, identifying when someone requires human intervention or higher levels of care.Alex Frenkel is a seasoned technology executive and product leader with over a decade of experience driving innovation in Israel's fast-growing tech ecosystem. As the CEO and co-founder of Kai, he leads the development of an AI-driven platform transforming how mental health care teams deliver therapy through automation, data insight, and empathetic design. Previously, Frenkel held senior product leadership roles at Kin Ecosystem, Colu, Gett, and Sears Israel, where he built and scaled user-centric digital products across AI, fintech, and mobile technology.

In this episode of the PCOS Repair Podcast, you'll explore how luteinizing hormone (LH) plays a pivotal role in ovulation, and how its interaction with insulin can create hormonal chaos in PCOS. LH is the hormone responsible for triggering ovulation, but when it becomes imbalanced, cycles can become irregular or even anovulatory. This discussion sheds light on why LH may be elevated and how this elevation disrupts ovulation, especially when paired with high testosterone levels.How Cycle Chaos Unfolds: Elevated LH and OvulationInsulin resistance, common in PCOS, contributes to elevated testosterone and disrupts LH levels. Even without insulin resistance, women with PCOS may experience high insulin levels due to dietary habits. This elevation prompts the ovaries to produce more testosterone, which in turn increases LH. The result? Disrupted ovulation, missed LH surges, and cycles that are difficult to interpret.When LH levels are chronically elevated, the body misses the distinct surge that's necessary for ovulation to occur. You'll discover how this prevents egg release, contributes to cystic ovaries, and leads to inconsistent or missed periods. Practical Tools to Lower Insulin and Restore OvulationYou'll learn practical strategies for lowering insulin and restoring hormone balance. This includes optimizing nutrition and strategic eating patterns to support better glucose regulation and lower daily insulin loads.For deeper insight into how your body handles food and stress, a CGM can be a powerful tool. In this episode, you'll learn how to use a CGM to observe patterns, make small dietary changes, and experiment with meal timing and movement to lower insulin responses and improve hormone balance.Exercise is another key lifestyle tool for improving insulin sensitivity. You'll hear how Zone 2 exercise and strength training help your body use insulin more efficiently. These simple habits can dramatically reduce post-meal glucose spikes and improve overall hormonal function.Stress is a major hormone disruptor. You'll discover how elevated cortisol increases insulin, promotes fat storage, and throws off hormonal rhythms, including LH and ovulation. This episode covers how daily stress management practices are essential to support hormonal healing.Supporting Ovulation with SupplementsOnce foundational root causes are addressed, well selected supplements can further support insulin sensitivity and ovulation. This episode explains when and how to incorporate these supplements and provides resources for trusted product recommendations.If you've struggled to interpret LH tests, manage irregular ovulation, or understand the hidden factors behind PCOS symptoms, this episode breaks it down in a clear, practical way. You'll leave with an understanding of how insulin impacts LH and what daily strategies, like movement, food timing, and supplements, can help regulate this delicate hormonal balance.You can take the quiz to discover your root cause hereGet the PCOS Supplement Guide for trusted product recommendations and discounts. Let's continue the conversation on Instagram! What did you find helpful in this episode and what follow-up questions do you have?The full list of Resources & References Mentioned can be found on the Episode webpage at:https://nourishedtohealthy.com/ep-169

When Lyrik Fryer built WorkPlay Branding, she wasn't necessarily trying to be disruptive — she just didn't want to keep living in the adrenaline crash around the revenue model that comes with project-based work. So she did the thing no one else in her industry was doing: she swapped one-off client projects for a high-ticket, yearlong membership model that now meets clients anywhere in the world.But what looks effortless from the outside was built on systems, spreadsheets, and a ruthless commitment to structure. In this conversation, we get into how she engineered consistency and how she used systems to create freedom and high profit margins.

As Michigan reclaims its identity as a hub of American innovation, the next industrial revolution looks far different from the assembly lines that once defined it. New initiatives like the forthcoming University of Michigan Innovation Center, alongside grassroots movements such as Black Tech Saturdays, are powering that resurgence. Together, they reflect a statewide belief that technology can build communities and create opportunity for all. According to Startup Genome's Global Startup Ecosystem Report, Detroit is now one of the top emerging startup ecosystems in the world, underscoring its accelerating momentum in innovation and impact.At a time when automation and AI continue to reshape industries, can technology be the tool that rebuilds communities, expands opportunity, and ensures shared prosperity in the next era of American innovation?In part two of this three-part series on DisruptED, host Ron J. Stefanski continues his in-depth chat with Dug Song, the co-founder of Duo Security and founder of Song United. Building on the first episode's exploration of how technology can be a force for good, this installment shifts the focus to how that vision is taking shape across Michigan's growing tech ecosystem. Stefanski and Song examine Detroit and Ann Arbor's shared momentum, the role of social capital in driving inclusive growth, and how community initiatives are redefining innovation and impact in real time.Key Points of Conversation:Social capital as the missing link: Michigan is rich in human, intellectual, and cultural capital, but Song argues that social capital — the networks and trust that connect people — is what truly drives innovation.Inclusive investment and ecosystem building: Dug's post-Duo mission is to invest in underrepresented founders, community-led organizations, and policy reforms that foster equity in tech and venture capital. He believes lasting innovation requires businesses to reinvest in the communities where they operate, creating shared prosperity across Michigan's economy.Detroit's global momentum: Detroit's growing startup ecosystem, bolstered by Ann Arbor's research and talent base, illustrates how the two cities function as a single innovation corridor. Together, they position the region as one of the world's fastest-emerging tech hubs — proof that innovation and impact can scale together.Dug Song co-founded Duo Security, one of the most successful cybersecurity startups in U.S. history, which was later acquired by Cisco. He now focuses on driving inclusive innovation through strategic investment, philanthropy, and policy advocacy across Michigan's growing tech ecosystem. As a lifelong advocate for entrepreneurship and community building, Song has supported Black Tech Saturdays and invested in over fifty venture funds. Many of those funds are led by underrepresented founders, helping shape Michigan's path toward a more equitable innovation economy.

Detroit is redefining its role in the next era of American innovation. The conversation has shifted from what to build to how to build it in ways that deliver lasting impact. The goal is to do so sustainably, inclusively, and with the community at its core. The state's growing network of research universities, multi-billion-dollar investments in innovation centers, and the rapid expansion of tech entrepreneurship mark a new phase in Michigan's resurgence. Yet, a deeper challenge remains even as new facilities rise. Social and entrepreneurial infrastructure must keep pace with physical development if this progress is to last, a point echoed in research showing that many innovation districts underperform when real estate outpaces ecosystem investment.At a time when many cities are investing heavily in innovation districts, only to see them sit half-empty, what truly makes an innovation ecosystem thrive and stay alive?In the final installation of this three-part series on DisruptED, host Ron J. Stefanski continues his in-depth conversation with Dug Song, the co-founder of Duo Security and founder of Song United. Drawing from the insights shared in Part 1 and Part 2, this final installment explores how Detroit's resurgence depends not just on attracting companies but on cultivating founders, density, and opportunity from within. Song reflects on his experience investing in startups from Kenya to Germany and shares how those lessons can guide Detroit's own path forward.Main TakeawaysBeyond Bricks and Mortar: Song warns that building facilities alone won't guarantee innovation. True progress depends on social infrastructure — founders, local networks, and community spaces that create density and activity.From Local Roots to Global Reach: Through his investments in ventures like Gropius (a modular housing company) and BAMF Health, Song is connecting Detroit's innovation corridor to international opportunities while ensuring the benefits flow locally.Entrepreneurship as Ownership: Song highlights how wealth and innovation grow when everyone has a stake. His vision of shared ownership and cross-sector collaboration reframes Detroit's startup movement as a model for inclusive, community-based growth.Dug Song is the co-founder of Duo Security (acquired by Cisco in 2018) and founder of Song United. A University of Michigan graduate, Song is deeply involved in regional development initiatives across Detroit and Ann Arbor, serving on multiple advisory boards and investing in community-driven ventures worldwide. His work bridges technology, policy, and social impact, making him one of Michigan's most influential changemakers in tech and entrepreneurship.

As college undergoes a transformation, driven by technology, equity, and new definitions of success, DisruptED explores how the “college experience” is evolving and what that means for today's students. With the traditional four-year path under growing scrutiny—only 41% of first-time, full-time undergraduates at four-year institutions actually earn their degrees within that time—a new model is emerging, one built on mentorship, resilience, and real-world support. This episode looks at how mentorship and community are redefining access and achievement in higher education for students navigating systemic challenges.What does it take to disrupt the conventional college pathway—and what happens when guidance, faith, and perseverance collide to create new models of success?On this episode of DisruptED, host Ron J. Stefanski sits down with his “little brother” Reynard Robinson and lifelong mentor Dr. Caesar Mickens Jr., to explore Reynard's remarkable journey from struggling reader to college student at Southern University. Together, they discuss how community programs, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and intergenerational mentorship can open doors for young learners who might otherwise be left behind.Key takeaways from the conversation…Mentorship Beyond the Moment: Ron and Reynard's seven-year relationship—born out of Detroit's Downtown Boxing Gym—demonstrates how consistent, personal mentorship can change the trajectory of a young person's life.The Power of HBCUs: Dr. Mickens emphasizes that HBCUs provide not just education but “a different kind of support,” one that's emotional, cultural, and deeply personal, helping students persist through setbacks.Resilience and Redirection: Reynard's story—from overcoming early reading challenges to finding faith and pivoting from engineering to business—underscores that failure is not the end of the story, but part of the pathway to purpose.Dr. Caesar Mickens Jr. is an education and workforce development expert with over 17 years of experience as an educational consultant and a decade as Director at Jobs for the Future. He specializes in team building, training, and instructional innovation, helping institutions and organizations design impactful learning and development strategies. Holding a Ph.D. in Educational Technology from Wayne State University, Dr. Mickens brings deep expertise in teacher training, public speaking, and educational leadership.Reynard Robinson is a marketing student at Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, passionate about storytelling, strategy, and community engagement.

Technology is evolving faster than ever, and with that acceleration comes the question of whether we're using it to make the world better or simply faster. As automation, AI, and cybersecurity shape the future of work and life, leaders are reexamining how innovation can drive not just profit, but progress. Michigan, once the cradle of the industrial revolution, is once again emerging as a hub for digital transformation and inclusive growth. It's a powerful example of how technology for good can align innovation with community impact.So, what does it really take to build technology that uplifts people, doesn't replace them, and strengthens the middle class in a rapidly changing world?In this first installment of a three-part series on DisruptED, host Ron J. Stefanski sits down with Dug Song, co-founder of Duo Security, who now channels his focus into philanthropy and community innovation through his family foundation in Detroit.

A game changer for enjoying wine one glass at a time.“I wanted the freedom to drink whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted.” – Coravin inventor Greg Lambrecht.How do you open a bottle of wine without committing to finishing it before it goes bad? That question led Greg Lambrecht, a medical device entrepreneur, to invent Coravin - a groundbreaking system that lets you pour a glass without pulling the cork.Greg combined medical technology with a passion for wine to change the way we drink. From the original idea, developed in his kitchen, to the latest innovations like Coravin Sparkling, Greg shares his story of perseverance, problem-solving, and a mission to give wine lovers freedom by the glass.With nearly two million units sold to date since debuting in 2011, Coravin is so popular that the company says a glass of wine preserved with Coravin is poured every second of every day. That's impressive. Coravin has even become a verb and an adjective. For example, you might say, “I'll Coravin this wine,” or “That bottle's Coravined." This wine technology company continues to innovate, developing tools for Coravinning screw cap wines, or even easier to use systems, like the Pivot+ that works with any type of bottle closure. We're excited to hear Greg's stories behind the scenes of these groundbreaking products and to find out what's on the horizon.

In a world where rapid technological change is redefining how we live, work, and learn, the demand for skilled labor and lifelong learning has never been higher. From electric vehicle repair to advanced diagnostics in healthcare, the U.S. faces a widening talent gap in the skilled trades and allied health industries. According to the National Skills Coalition, nearly 52% of all jobs require skills training beyond high school but not a four-year degree, yet only a fraction of the workforce is equipped to fill them. As traditional education models struggle to keep pace, a new movement in workforce education and adult learning is reshaping how individuals prepare for the future of work.So how can higher education and workforce training providers realign with the needs of a changing economy—and what does it mean to find a true North Star for adult learning and upskilling in 2025?In this episode of DisruptED, host Ron J. Stefanski welcomes Todd Hitchcock, Chief Operating Officer of Universal Technical Institute (UTI), to explore how UTI is redefining workforce education through partnerships, outcomes-driven learning, and mission-aligned strategy. Together, they revisit their early collaboration in online learning and unpack how the “skilled collar” workforce is becoming the backbone of modern industry.Key takeaways from the conversation…Defining the North Star Strategy – Todd Hitchcock outlines how UTI's North Star strategy focuses on growth, diversification, and optimization, aligning every decision with student outcomes and employer demand.Reimagining Employer Partnerships – UTI's 4,000+ partnerships, including collaborations with BMW, Ford, and Heartland Dental, showcase how deep alignment between education and industry drives placement and innovation.Outcomes Over Credentials – Hitchcock and Stefanski discuss why higher education must evolve beyond degrees toward employability, affordability, and accountability for real-world results.Todd Hitchcock is the Chief Operating Officer of Universal Technical Institute, Inc., where he oversees nationwide operations across 32 campuses serving 24,000 students. A pioneer in online learning and workforce education, Todd previously served in senior leadership roles at Florida Virtual School and helped co-found the North American Council for Online Learning (now the Aurora Institute). A first-generation college graduate, Hitchcock has dedicated his career to expanding access and aligning education with opportunity.Article written by MarketScale.

The world of work is changing faster than ever. Automation is reshaping jobs, new technologies are rewriting what “qualified” means, and a new generation of workers is redefining what they expect from employers. From fast food to healthcare, companies are realizing they can't just hire talent — they have to build it. They're starting to see employees not only as workers, but as learners with potential to grow and adapt in a constantly evolving economy. It's a big shift: a recent McKinsey report found that up to 375 million people worldwide may need to change careers or learn new skills by 2030.So, how are leading employers creating real opportunities for economic mobility while addressing their own talent needs? What does it take to build programs that meet workers where they are — and help them grow into where they want to go?In this episode of DisruptED, host Ron J. Stefanski sits down with Lisa Schumacher, Director of Education Strategies and Workforce Policy at McDonald's, and Jason Aubrey, Founder and CEO of Skilltrade, to explore how education, corporate strategy, and technology are converging to redefine the world of work. Together, they discuss McDonald's Archways to Opportunity program on its 10-year anniversary, the growing link between corporate training and higher education, and how hybrid learning models are shaping the next generation of frontline talent.Key takeaways from the conversation…Building opportunity at scale: How McDonald's Archways to Opportunity has invested $240 million in education benefits for over 90,000 employees, lowering barriers through tuition assistance, flexible scheduling, and career advising.Upskilling in healthcare: Jason Aubrey on the rise of hybrid hands-on learning models that connect certificate programs with degree pathways, allowing healthcare employers to “grow their own” talent pipelines.The ROI of education investment: Insights from McDonald's data showing that 75% of Archways participants stay longer with the company — and nearly half of college graduates from the program are first-generation students.Lisa Schumacher is the Director of Education Strategies and Workforce Policy at McDonald's Corporation, where she has spent over a decade developing large-scale education and upskilling programs that strengthen the company's talent pipeline and workforce reputation. Before joining McDonald's, she led workforce initiatives at the Council for Adult & Experiential Learning (CAEL), advancing adult education and employer learning partnerships. Earlier in her career, she spent 18 years at the University of Chicago Medical Center, directing professional development and training programs focused on workforce capability in healthcare.Jason Aubrey is an EdTech and workforce development leader with deep experience scaling technology-enabled education and healthcare training businesses. As CEO of MedCerts, he led the company to a successful acquisition by Stride, Inc., expanding access to online healthcare and IT certification programs. Now the Founder and CEO of Skilltrade, Aubrey continues to innovate in hybrid learning and workforce solutions, drawing on a career that spans product development, organizational transformation, and private equity-backed leadership roles.

Most businesses are rapidly deploying AI to be more competitive, but some are struggling to adapt, or worse, think Microsoft Co-Pilot is enough adaptation. Sectors like consulting, accounting, and law firms, are in big trouble and many are facing an Opportunity Crisis.

Jim is making no small plans for their reboot; they have brought in a top private equity partner to think bigger and accelerate Jim's plans.
