In this episode, I catch up with Franco, the co-founder of Beachside Moto Club (BMC), who has officially become one of the city co-hosts of the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride (DGR) in Los Angeles. Franco is the leading the charge this year—handling logistics for pre-DGR events, co-leading the parking team, and helping with behind-the-scenes to make sure DGR is a seamless experience for the hundreds of guests in attendance. We talk about what DGR is all about—the global cause behind it, the impact it has, and why it matters to Franco and the community. We also dive into Triumph Motorcycles' involvement at the global and local level, including support from SoCal Motorcycles Brea, who are stepping up to elevate the event through raffles, prizes, and a giveaway bike! Whether you're a fan of BMC, new to the DGR scene, or a regular listener of the Ride Boundless Podcast—you'll want to check this one out. Let's ride, raise awareness, and do it in style.

Distinguished academic, Professor Greg Barton, joins the podcast to reflect on the Westfield Bonid Junction stabbing rampage one year on.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Buy Travels in the Cities of Cinema: Conversations with Ehsan Khoshbakht here. Jonathan Rosenbaum stands as one of the most eminent film critics in the English-speaking world. After working for Sight and Sound and Monthly Film Bulletin in London in the 1970s, he served for two decades as chief film critic for the Chicago Reader. Hailed as “one of the best” by Jean-Luc Godard, who compared him to James Agee and André Bazin, Rosenbaum is known for his incisive, thought-provoking polemics, which have inspired generations of writers while reshaping how we think about cinema. Distinguished by his equal investment in both contemporary cinema and film history, his work offers a rich dialogue between the past and present of moving images. In this wide-ranging conversation with film scholar Ehsan Khoshbakht, Rosenbaum reminisces about his childhood in Florence, Alabama, where his family ran a chain of cinemas, and follows that journey to New York, Paris, London and Chicago. Each city marks a chapter in his evolution as a critic, filled with encounters and experiences that together reveal the life of an indefatigable cinephile and cultural commentator. “An engaging history of the esteemed critic's career and a survey of the cinephilic landscape. Rosenbaum proves a frank, expansive interviewee, telling curator Ehsan Khoshbakht about his childhood in Alabama and his work as a critic in Paris, New York, London, Chicago and elsewhere.” — Pamela Hutchinson, Sight and Sound Learn more about your ad choices.

Hannah Hunt, Distinguished Technical Fellow at MetroStar and former Chief of Product at the Army Software Factory joins the show to share how her government experience is now shaping her impact from the private sector. She also offered candid insights on software factory success metrics, the challenges of scaling innovation within bureaucracy, and how emerging technologies like generative AI can be aligned with mission needs. Finally, we unpacked lessons learned from standing up transformative programs inside the Department of Defense and the importance of storytelling, empathy, and data in delivering value to government customers.

“What Luke has set up is that the ordinary people are not only not complicit in the death of Jesus, but they repent of what has been done to him,” says Luke Timothy Johnson, a renowned Scripture scholar, particularly in Luke-Acts, and Woodruff Professor Emeritus of New Testament and Christian Origins at the Candler School of Theology, Emory University. Distinguished from other Palm Sunday Gospels for its unique portrait of repentance, Luke's Passion portrays a great crowd of people turning their backs toward the city following Jesus' death and beating their breasts, the “classic body language of repentance.” “Luke thereby sets up the conversion of the people in the story of Acts, where thousands of faithful Jews hear the word of the resurrection and join the Jesus movement in Acts,” Professor Johnson argues. “[It's] a much more positive view of the people of Israel.”  In this episode, released ahead of Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion, Year C, “Preach” host Ricardo da Silva, S.J., invites Professor Johnson back to discuss the Passion Narratives in the Gospels of Luke and John to help us prepare to celebrate Holy Week. The liturgies of this most meaningful time of our Christian year demand long stretches of attention from people in the pews, so Ricardo and Professor Johnson also share preaching tips to remain brief and point back to the meaning of the liturgy.

I’m Dr. Genevieve Hayes, and today I’m joined by Andrei Oprisan. Andrei is a technology leader with over 15 years of experience in software engineering.[00:00:24] Specializing in product development, machine learning, and scaling high performance teams. He is the founding engineering lead at Agent. ai, and is also currently completing an executive MBA through MIT’s Sloan School of Management. In this episode, we’ll be discussing how data scientists can grow into business leadership roles by exploring Andre’s own career evolution from technology specialist to seasoned technology leader.[00:00:55] And more importantly, we’ll be sharing specific steps that you can take to follow his path. So get ready to boost your impact, earn what you’re worth, and rewrite your career algorithm. Andre, welcome to the show.[00:01:09] Andrei Oprisan: Thank you. Great to be here. Great[00:01:11] Dr Genevieve Hayes: We’re at the dawn of the AI revolution with everyone wanting to get in on the act and many organizations terrified of being left behind.[00:01:21] As a result, there are more technical data science and AI centric roles being advertised now than ever before. However, this also brings with it unprecedented opportunities for data scientists to make the leap into business leadership, if they’re willing and if they know how. And those are two very big ifs, because in my experience, Many data scientists either don’t know how to successfully make this transition, or write off the possibility of doing so entirely for fear that it’ll take them too far away from the tools.[00:01:55] Now, Andre you started your career as a software engineer, but have since held a number of technology leadership roles, including VP of Engineering at Liberty Mutual Insurance, Chief Technology Officer at OneScreen. ai, And your current role is head of engineering at agent. ai. What is it that first started you on the path from technical specialist to business leader?[00:02:21] Andrei Oprisan: question. So for me, it was all about asking deeper questions as to the why and that led me to ask them more questions, you know, but why and why again, why are we doing this? Why are we prioritizing this kind of work? What makes us believe this is the right kind of feature, to work on as a developer which inevitably leads to some kind of business questions some questions about. Who the customer is and why we’re serving those customers are those customers, right? Kinds of customers. To serve in the 1st place, or, should we be thinking about different kinds of customer personas?[00:02:56] And what does that mean? All the way to, how do you actually make money as a business? Why are we doing this? Is it to drive efficiency? Is it to serve a new, on top market potentially? And so. As you mentioned, I started as a developer, I started my career at Wayfair back in the early days when they were, I think it was engineer number 30 company of 100 or so people back in the early 2000s.[00:03:20] And we were. Developing big features. I remember I own a big part of baby and wedding registries and checkout and customer reviews. And I was building more and more features and I was sitting and also in more meetings with product managers who are usually the kind of the interface right in a tech world to sort of the business.[00:03:42] And I kept asking more and more questions around it. Hey, but why are we doing this? Why are we solving for baby registries? Why are we solving for wedding registries?[00:03:51] So again. For me, it really started from early days of my career, all the way through later stages, where I was always asking more questions about, is it the right thing?[00:03:59] The highest value thing that we can work on as engineers, as developers, as technical folks, or is there something more valuable that we should be working on that we should be aware of? That we should be asking deeper questions about. And it really started with that kind of inquisitive nature, always asking, why are we doing this?[00:04:16] You know, I’m here as part of this team, and I want to understand why we’re doing these things. So I can be more effective. So I can make sure that, I. Do as much as possible to make a successful[00:04:27] Dr Genevieve Hayes: That approach of asking all those why questions, that’s what they recommend to people in pretty much every management consulting advice book. The three. of Management Consulting. Why this? Why now? Why me? Did you pick that up from reading some sort of Management Consulting book or do you just have an naturally inquisitive nature?[00:04:48] Andrei Oprisan: now for me it was more natural, maybe a bit stubborn, maybe depending on what you ask, maybe a bit , irreverent just to sort of asking the question. So, , why are we doing this? But as a developer, as you’re building out features, you can build a very simple version of an ask or you can build something very complex that needs to scale. That needs to take into account a number of different kinds of factors. And so we really started with. Trying to understand, okay, what is the actual technical requirement and why do we think that is[00:05:16] and that’s usually defined by some kind of either tech lead and a team or a product manager or some combination thereof. And I found that to be very helpful, both for me and those non technical counterparts to ask those why questions because it really revealed a lot of the assumptions that went into the road map that went into even the business thinking there’s obviously some assumption that.[00:05:41] For instance, we’re going to invest in scale from a dev ops standpoint, for example to make sure these servers don’t tip over. We’ll be able to handle more traffic because we expect growth. Okay. But when is that? Why is that?[00:05:53] And it started from me, just not really understanding the business and wanting to learn and more wanting to learn on a deeper level to say, okay. I can understand. I became an expert in baby and wedding registries and all the competitors and I think that that’s part of what’s necessary to be able to build.[00:06:12] Good products that kind of obsession, with the product and , asking questions until you really understand the landscape and what you should and shouldn’t be building. I think those are critical aspects of knowing what to build and not to build to be able to.[00:06:26] And get some better outcomes.[00:06:28] Dr Genevieve Hayes: And so by asking these questions, did senior leadership see that as a sign that you had management or leadership potential and then did you naturally get promoted or did you actively seek out those business leadership roles?[00:06:44] Andrei Oprisan: I think a little bit of both, but more likely in the beginning. It was more the former, so I was asking. More of the questions for the sake of the questions and really wanting. To build a better product, which then led to just more responsibilities. And it was clear to me that I wanted.[00:07:02] Those kinds of questions to be asked and answered. And many times they want, many of those sort of technical conversations they were having, those kinds of questions weren’t really asked by the technical folks. And so I became the kind of person that would always ask those questions and always.[00:07:19] Push us to get good answers to those questions and really test those assumptions over time, as I became more senior in my roles building more complex systems that led to more complex questions that needed answers and increasingly got in front of more senior folks.[00:07:37] So what became conversations Within a team with a product manager or a junior product manager talking to junior engineers became conversations, between senior engineers. And directors of thought up and things like that. And so, I just became part of. In those rooms where those conversations were happening at a higher level that led me to ask more important white questions more around.[00:08:01] The business strategy, why do we think this is the right segment to tackle? Why do we think we’re going to build technology that is really differentiated, that is not just another solution that we could have just bought off the shelf.[00:08:13] And those are very interesting conversations to have. And I think that the kinds of conversations that we don’t get to really have, we’re not really focused on both the technical, but not technical just for the sake of technical sort of solutioning, but technology in the service of the business and the service of a business that is, wanting to grow and stay competitive and and be able to win at whatever the business is trying to do,[00:08:40] Dr Genevieve Hayes: It sounds like your nature made you very well suited to a business leadership role, even though you started off as a technical specialist. But I’ve met a lot of data scientists over the years who are very adamant that they don’t want to move away from purely technical roles and into leadership roles.[00:09:01] For example, I’ve been in teams where the team leader role has It’s been advertised and every single technical person in that team has refused to apply for it because they don’t want to move away from the tools. Is this something that you experienced early in your career?[00:09:19] Andrei Oprisan: definitely, and that’s part of every individuals journey as we’re moving through those individual contributor ranks. There are levels to the individual contributor roles, you can go from junior to very senior, to principal or staff or a member of technical staff and different companies have the sort of laddering that can even go up to the equivalent on the sort of management side, all the way to VP levels Microsoft is famous for, their laddering where you can have Distinguished engineers that are the equivalent of VPs will have hundreds of people who are reporting to them and have similar compensation structures.[00:09:55] So, again, it is possible. Not every organization is set up for that. And so I think part of this has to 1st, start with the right level of research and say, okay. If I’m the kind of person that wants to do only technical work. Will the career progression and this organization really support my objective,[00:10:14] if the most senior level that you can go to might be just a senior engineer level, that might be okay. And that might be the right place for you. But if you want me more responsible and we want to be more of an architect or someone who. Is coordinating, larger, project deployments across multiple divisions,[00:10:37] I would say, figure out if the organization. As those kinds of opportunities, and in many cases, they don’t, because they don’t know that I need, it hasn’t been proven as an actual need. So, part of it is, how comfortable are you? And being that sort of trailblazer and taking some risks and, of crafting your own role versus, working within the existing bounds where you may have a well defined ladder.[00:11:03] And, in other cases, it might be that, no, there is a ceiling and in many organizations, that is the case, especially in a non technology companies, and companies that certainly have a technology or it department and some fashion. But they might not have, the same level that you can go to.[00:11:21] Compared to in a potential business role and that needs to be a decision that is that made to say, okay, is this the right kind of place for me? Can I grow and learn? To the level that I’m looking to grow and learn to and then figure out, if you can sort of.[00:11:36] Move beyond some of those limitations, what are they and what are you comfortable with?[00:11:41] Dr Genevieve Hayes: Early in my career, it was the case that basically in Australia, if you wanted to get beyond a very moderate salary, you had to go into management if you’re a technical person. But. In recent years there are an increasing number of companies and organizations that are building in that technical stream.[00:12:03] I think Deloitte in Australia now does have a technical stream where you can get quite senior. And I know of some government organizations that also do. I’m not quite sure how well that works in practice, but it’s a move in the right direction.[00:12:20] Andrei Oprisan: Right, and I think that’s that’s only increased over time. I’ve only seen companies create more opportunities for those very senior technical folks, not fewer. So, again, I think it is encouraging, but I’d also say, you’re not going to find the same.[00:12:36] Leveling across the board for technical folks as you would, let’s say for management oriented and at a certain point, need to make the decision in terms of. Do you want to stay as an individual and the whole contributor, or are you open to management?[00:12:51] It doesn’t mean from a management standpoint, you’re not technical or, you’re not needing to your technical skills, but it may mean that, yes, you’re no longer coding every day. Right, you are maybe at best reviewing architecture documents and really pressure testing the way the systems are designed and having bigger conversations around, cost optimization and.[00:13:14] Privacy and security implications of the work that is being done and making sure that then those are addressed. Which again, there are different kinds of challenges. They’re still technically challenging. And you’re going to need good advice from additional folks, individual contributors on the teams, but they are different.[00:13:32] Dr Genevieve Hayes: The other thing I’d add to all this is, even if you choose to remain in that individual contributor stream, as you move up the ranks, you are still going to be associating more and more with senior leadership and having to think about things from a business point of view. It doesn’t matter whether you’re managing staff or not.[00:13:51] You need to become more business centric. And that idea that a lot of very technical data scientists have of just being left alone in a room to code all day. That’s not going to happen once you get above a certain level regardless of if you’re technical or a leader.[00:14:10] Andrei Oprisan: That’s right, and I think it’s. Figuring out the right balance of enough technical work, and that can mean different things over time with enough. Organizational impact, which is another way to look at the business elements of. You know, we’re doing a bunch of work, but again, is it making money?[00:14:29] Is it helping our customers get more of what they need? Is it improving some kind of output that the organization is measuring. If we can’t answer any of those questions , to some level of sophistication, then, if we’re working on the right thing or not, would we even know,[00:14:45] and would it even about it may be a very interesting technical problem, of course, but does it matter at all? will anyone even see it when you care? I think by, understanding the business understanding, maybe how many eyeballs. The product is going to get in front of and what the assumptions are and even, coming up with some of those numbers is going to really affect what you’re thinking about what you’re building and why you’re building.[00:15:09] Dr Genevieve Hayes: It sounds like you making that transition from being a technical expert to being a business leader was very organic for you, but was there ever a point in time where you actually consciously thought, okay, I’m actually focusing on this business leadership thing. I’m no longer a technical specialist.[00:15:28] I am a data science or engineering leader.[00:15:32] Andrei Oprisan: Yes, when I transitioned from Wayfair I work for an eCommerce consulting shop. So there is where I learned a lot of my sort of consulting skills and really understand how to talk to. Chief marketing officers and CEO. So understand, what exactly are you trying to accomplish?[00:15:48] But in those conversations, it became very clear to me that I needed to understand more about the business, not less, even as I was very technical, I was a tech lead, I was running the technology team, in charge with the recruiting with defining the staffing plans and also architecting some of the solutions.[00:16:10] And so it became very clear that I needed to understand even more. About what the actual goals were of the organization, because the very first iteration of the project we came in with the wrong assumptions completely, and we came up with some technical solutions that made no sense for where they were trying to go.[00:16:30] 2, 3, 5 years later we came up with something that made sense for a proof of concept and sort to get to an initial contract. But actually, we were setting them up for failure in 4 to 5 years were actually the solution that we were proposing wouldn’t be able to support the kinds of customization as they would need when they moved to 20 different supply chain partners and just having those conversations at a, higher level[00:16:57] It was very eye-opening when I walked out of a few of those meetings. Understanding that 90 percent of our assumptions were just incorrect. It’s like, Oh my God, what are we doing? And why are we having this entire team of engineers building these features for, I think it was Portugal and Spain stores where, we were just expected to lift and shift that for Japan, and that we’re just not going to be possible said, okay,[00:17:22] This made absolutely no sense. Let’s have deeper conversations about. The business what their goals are and how the technology is going to support that both now in the very short term, and we’re applying a very short term kind of mentality. But also long term also in 4 to 5 years, assuming the business is successful and they meet their objectives.[00:17:44] How can we make sure we’re enabling their long term growth?[00:17:48] Dr Genevieve Hayes: So it sounds like if one of our listeners wanted to follow your lead and move from technical specialist into a business leadership role, one of the first steps that they should take is to understand the objectives and goals of their organization and how their work can feed into achieving those goals and objectives.[00:18:09] Andrei Oprisan: Absolutely. I think it’s just having those simple questions answered around. What is the business? What is it doing? Why is it doing it? Why are they in this specific sector now? How has this evolved? And then being able to answer, how are they actually able to do that? Is it people?[00:18:28] Is it process? Is that technology is probably a combination of all of those different factors, but technology can have a multiplying effect, right? And I think it’s asking those questions in terms of where they are now and looking at different ways of expanding different ways of providing. Goods and services and using technology to more efficient.[00:18:49] And , it’s just looking at the business, but I would call it. A common sense approach and asking the kinds of questions. Okay. Someone in on the business side, if they can’t answer things in a simple. Way ask more questions if you can understand them in the terms that.[00:19:08] They’re giving back to you then then ask more clarifying questions. Don’t just assume. Right and it’s okay to not be an expert in those things. The challenge that I had in the beginning was getting frustrated with. My blind spots and my lack of really understanding I think it was.[00:19:24] You know, 1 of the early examples was this around tax treatments and, how obviously. Different territories have different rules for when and how you collect taxes.[00:19:34] It gets into a lot of complexity, but, it was very eyeopening. To ask more of those questions and to understand just how complex of an environment the business operates in, which allowed me to be a better developer, which allowed me to be a better team lead, which allowed me to then be a better partner, frankly, to those business folks who, you know, they have the same goals for the organization that we should have.[00:19:59] The company is going to grow. And if the company grows and it does well, then it means good things for everybody on the team. And if they don’t, that’s going to lead to equally bad things for everybody on the team. And so I think part of it is having that ownership mindset of it’s not someone else’s problem.[00:20:16] If we don’t understand this, it’s my problem. It’s my problem that we don’t understand how we’re going to need to customize this types engine. Because we might get hit with fines and we might need to retroactively as a severity one drop everything now. Anyways, kind of issue later than the line,[00:20:34] Dr Genevieve Hayes: So what is the single most important change our listeners could make tomorrow, regardless of whether their role is purely technical or not, to accelerate their data science impact and results and increase their business exposure?[00:20:47] Andrei Oprisan: I would say, ask, those deeper questions and figure out exactly the kind of work that they’re doing, how it’s having an impact on the bottom line. Whether it does or not, I think, understanding that very well understanding whether or not, the group that you’re in and the division is seen as a cost center or not or revenue center.[00:21:05] I think that’s the biggest sort of eye opening question that you can get answered and figure out, what are the broader objectives? Well, there are technical objectives. That the team has or business objectives that the whole division has and figuring out, okay, am I playing a part in that today or not?[00:21:26] Are we directly or indirectly? And how are my bosses or my bosses, bosses seeing the impact of the work that I’m doing in relation to the business success? And if there is no pathway for that, I think it’s the wrong kind of role in terms of long term growth. So again, if the work that you’re doing doesn’t have a measurable impact on that bottom line or on the growth of the organization, I think it’s worth asking deeper questions as to why that is or why it’s seen that way and how you can get into the kind of role that can help it.[00:22:03] With the growth and resiliency of the business.[00:22:06] Dr Genevieve Hayes: For listeners who want to get in contact with you, Andre, what can they do?[00:22:10] Andrei Oprisan: Sure. Can email me at Andre at agent.ai. Can find me on the web at oprisan.com. My blog is linked there as well. I’m on LinkedIn and x and. All the social networks with the same handles but more importantly, just, find me on agent. ai where I spend most of my time building AI agents helping out in the community giving folks feedback on how to build better agents.[00:22:35] And ultimately aiming to democratize AI and make it more accessible.[00:22:40] Dr Genevieve Hayes: And there you have it, another value packed episode to help turn your data skills into serious clout, cash, and career freedom.

As Jacob nears the end of his life, he blesses Joseph's two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, and distinguishes Joseph from his brothers. Jacob goes on to bless each of his sons prophetically, foretelling what would become of them and their descendants, and speaks over each one uniquely. Each of us is similarly called to walk a unique path. However, perceiving others as receiving greater blessings than ourselves can lead to feeling overlooked, discontent, or even jealousy. Join us for session thirteen, where we'll explore how comparison can cloud our vision and prevent us from recognizing the incredible blessings God has planned for each of us.Verses Used:Genesis 48:1-5Genesis 48:8-16Genesis 48:17-19Romans 12:4-51 Peter 4:10Ephesians 1:3-4Discussion Questions:*Joseph was “distinguished among his brothers,” and Ephraim, the younger brother, was chosen above his older brother. What are modern day examples of this?*In what sinful ways are we tempted to act when we are the ones called upon to be distinguished among others? In what sinful ways are we tempted to act when we are passed over and another is chosen in our place?*Are you content with the role God has called you to in this season of your life? Why or why not?*Though our roles in the body of Christ differ, what does 2 Timothy 2:21 say we can each be?*The Bible calls us to strive to be unified. Why is this important? What is our unity built upon? (see Ephesians 4:1-6)

Key ConceptsRequirements for Valid Statutory Marriage:Obtaining a marriage license from the appropriate government authority.Meeting eligibility requirements such as age, not being currently married (bigamy), and not being too closely related (consanguinity).Solemnization of the marriage by a recognized officiant (e.g., clergy, judge) in the presence of any legally required witnesses.Voluntary consent of both parties, with the requisite mental capacity to understand the nature of the marriage contract.Common-Law Marriage:Recognized in a limited number of jurisdictions.Requires cohabitation, holding oneself out to the public as married (e.g., using a common name, referring to each other as spouses), and a present intent by both parties to be married.If validly formed in a recognizing state, generally receives full faith and credit in other states.Requires a formal divorce to terminate, similar to a statutory marriage.Prenuptial Agreements:Contracts entered into before marriage that typically address property division, spousal support, and other financial matters in the event of divorce or death.Require voluntary agreement, full disclosure of assets and liabilities by both parties, and often the opportunity for independent legal counsel to be enforceable.Generally cannot determine child custody or child support in a way that is not in the best interest of the child.May be deemed unenforceable if unconscionable at the time of enforcement due to drastically changed circumstances.Postnuptial Agreements:Contracts entered into after marriage that address similar issues as prenuptial agreements.Subject to many of the same requirements for enforceability as prenuptials (voluntariness, full disclosure).May face additional scrutiny due to the existing marital relationship and potential for undue influence.Can modify state default rules regarding property division and spousal support, provided they are fair and knowing.Domestic Partnerships:A legally recognized status that provides some, but not all, of the rights and responsibilities of marriage.Recognition and the scope of rights vary significantly by state and locality.Often established through formal registration with a government entity.May offer benefits such as health insurance, hospital visitation, or inheritance rights.Recognition is not as uniform across jurisdictions as marriage, potentially leading to legal complexities when partners relocate.Distinguished from common-law marriage by the requirement of formal registration in most cases.Cohabitation agreements can serve a similar purpose for domestic partners or unmarried couples, relying on contract law principles for enforcement.

The STR Division takes great pride in congratulating Professor David Teece for his distinguished contribution! Criteria for Award: The STR Distinguished Scholarship Award shall be awarded biannually for a discovery of major importance in strategic management. The award recognizes an individual or individuals that have either made a specific   theoretical or empirical discovery or have developed a core set of ideas that fundamentally advanced research and understanding in the field of strategic management. Thus, priority is given to the discovery's importance to the field, with secondary priority weighted toward more recent discoveries, rather than the accumulation of disparate body of work. Individuals who are or have been active participants of the division are eligible. In choosing among the nominees, the Awards Committee will assess how the development of the field would have differed if it did not have the benefit of the contribution (i.e., was it a next logical step in the scientific progress or did the individual(s) do something that was really unexpected Process of Nomination and Selection: Nominations for the STR Distinguished Scholarship Award will be sought from the STR Division membership, as well as from the STR Award Committee, prior winners of the Award, STR Executive Committee and Officers, and prior STR Chairs. The STR community should nominate individuals who meet the criteria for the award and highlight what is the discovery of major importance in strategic management. No self-nominations are accepted.   (c) STR - Strategic Management Division - AOM

Distinguished psychologist and neuroscientist Dr. Kate Truitt takes her expert hat off and lets her hair down in today's candid conversation with Sarah. The bestselling author of Healing in Your Hands and the new title Keep Beathing lays bare her personal odyssey through loss and trauma as well as the key to her renewal- the realization that she wasn't the problem; her brain was. Wired from years of trauma to keep her ‘safe', “Amy the Amygdala” was actually keeping her caught in a cycle of negative, intrusive thoughts. Listen to Sarah and Dr. Kate talk about the tenacity of that cycle and how to break it. Two phoenixes in their own right, Sarah and Dr Kate get raw and real, inviting all cycle breakers to join their odyssey (Thanks to Dr. Kate, we now know that a group of phoenixes is called an odyssey!).

Today's podcast: Before Donald Trump, the Biden administration wrote to PM Justin Trudeau, and Congress had The Northern Border Caucus as Americans had real concerns about the proliferation of threats from Canada to the U.S. - Is it all posturing by Donald Trump that Canada is not fulfilling our agreement to have each other's back? Our guest says, indeed not only posturing by Trump. - On border security, the premiers are stepping up with their own plans, in the absence of federal leadership. And the premiers' plans can actually be implemented, while the federal plan "isn't really worth the paper it's written on." And on the subject of tariffs, does it make any sense for Canada to threaten retaliatory tariffs against the U.S.?   Guest: Christian Leuprecht. Distinguished professor at Royal Military College How many do you remember? Might you have forgotten a few? RIGHT DISHONOURABLE: Scandals that defined the Trudeau era is a piece by Bryan Passifiume Post Media national politics reporter. Guest: Bryan Passifiume, Post Media national politics reporter  As we wind down the program, longtime guests and friends join us. Tim Danson has been the lawyer for the French and Mahaffy families for 30+ years in their battle for whatever justice Canada's offender-friendly system deems acceptable. Tim was also the lawyer of Jim and Anna Stephenson whose 12-year-old son Christopher was abducted from a Brampton, Ontario shopping mall by convicted child sexual psychopath Joseph Fredericks who would murder Christopher. During the inquest into Christopher's death, the federal government refused to fund Stephenson's legal expenses, suggesting federal government lawyers could properly represent Stephenson's concerns. After a program with Jim Stephenson, Christopher's father, and Tim Danson, the federal Minister of Justice and Attorney General Doug Lewis demanded to be on our program to 'set us straight.' The next morning Lewis spent two painful (for him) hours in-studio. The following morning, the Minister of Justice called in to say the federal government had been wrong and that Ottawa would not pay the Stephenson family's legal costs. Tim Danson had not sent the Stephenson's one invoice. Guest: Tim Danson, lawyer for the French and Mahaffy families U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has said he would not use military force to annex Canada, but that he will use economic force to create an economic union between the U.S. and Canada. - But, the United States did have a detailed plan for a military invasion of Canada in 1935 and today, near Watertown, New York, some 10 miles from the New York/Ontario border and some 50 or so miles from Ottawa sits a massive U.S. military installation, Fort Drum, home of the 10th Mountain Division of the U.S. Army. A rapid deployment military unit. The question is periodically asked "why is this military unit stationed in such proximity to the seat of Canada's national government? Might the U.S. have plans to invade Canada under specific circumstances? Guest: Dr. Tim Cook. Chief historian and Director of Research at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. --------------------------------------------- Host/Content Producer – Roy Green Technical Producer - Leonardo Coelho Podcast Producer - Jonathan Chung If you enjoyed the podcast, tell a friend!

Fri, 10 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://seesee.podigee.io/s3e9-elsa-richardson-part-1 fe1a58fa3b58e761bb26bc289411ce8e Submerge in the fascinating history of the human gut. Distinguished historian, academic and acclaimed author of Rumbles, Elsa Richardson invites us to a thought-provoking exploration of the cultural and historical significance of digestion in Western society. From ancient beliefs about the power of the stomach to modern-day obsessions with gut health, she will help us uncover the ways in which our digestive systems have shaped not only our understanding of health but also our emotions, identities, and societies. Profit from her analytical lens and brilliant humor, as she incites us to jump into the gut's metaphors of noise and sensations and delve into how the digestive system has been understood, feared, and medicalized over time. A fantastic storyteller herself, she weaves together elements of science, philosophy, and social history, examining how gut health has influenced ideas about the self, emotion, good manners and even morality. Use this opportunity to glance at the gut's role in shaping human identity and health and let yourself be challenged to rethink about what lies beneath the surface of everyday bodily functions. Dr. Richardson holds a Chancellor's Fellowship in the History of Health and Wellbeing at the Centre for the Social History of Health and Healthcare at the University of Stratchclyde. She specializes in the intersection of medical and cultural history, examining the relationship of heterodox practices, beliefs and movements to mainstream society and culture, with a particular focus on the interaction between medicine and the imagination, science and the supernatural, psychology and the occult. Her current research explores the history of diet, vegetarianism, other alternative food cultures, mental stress and stomach disorders in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Britain. 3 9 full no Gut Health,Digestion,Rumbles (book),History of Digestion,Cultural Significance of the Gut,Medical History,Stomach and Emotions,Philosophy of the Body,Western Medicine,Gut and Identity Dr. Cecilia Ponce Rivera

In today's episode we will be addressing feminism, violence against women and embracing our unique gifts as women with the ability to understand our power as a priestess, officiating as apprentices to our heavenly mother. It may seem random, but we're going to tie together as we talk about what it takes to become a Zion type community. Today I'm interviewing Dr. Valerie Hudson a major thought leader when it comes to priestisthood and embracing the theology of heavenly mother, dr. Hudson has published several articles under the pen name of VH Kessler in regards to these ideas on square 2. In our next episode will be doing a reading of some of these articles. Her spiritual work is a passion project that runs alongside her academic work where Dr. Valerie Hudson is a Distinguished scholar and expert on international security and foreign policy, she specializes in analysis of the relationship between gender and security, Dr. Hudson has developed a nation-by-nation database, called the WomanStats Database, containing empirical work linking the security of women to the security of states that is used by the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the United Nations, and International Security. she has been named the top 100 most Influential Global Thinkers by foreign policy. Her findings have been widely published. She has also authored several books on the Security Implications of how Sex Shapes Governance and National Security world wide. Dr. Hudson sees her esteemed academic work and her spiritual journey playing hand and hand as she understands intimately violence against women and what she calls the curse of nations and how and what we must do to overcome the historical predicament of violence against women and the potential consequences if we do not overcome this horrific situation. In this podcast, we cover some amazing ground, there are definitely adult themes that are difficult to grapple with and may be inappropriate for little ears. We cover violence against women that could potentially be triggering if you have been exposed to these horrors. We encourage you to honor wherever you're at on these issues. If you feel like you need to skip our discussion about violence against women, you could skip to minute 45 where we will be focused on the helpful tools for embracing our full potential as women. With that said let's go ahead and jump right into my interview with Dr. Valerie Hudson. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/inherimage/support
