In this episode, Michelle Glogovac sits down with author Charlotte Otter to explore the urgent call for a new kind of leadership—one rooted in authenticity, diversity, and human connection. Drawing from her book We Need New Leaders, Charlotte breaks down the essential skills modern leaders must embrace, including reputation management, intentional communication, and the strategic use of social media to build personal brands. Together, they discuss why storytelling is a leadership superpower and how real connection—not AI-generated polish—is what truly resonates in today's digital age. What We're Talking About... Diverse voices lead to more innovative companies. Reputation is a form of power for leaders. Authenticity should be about values, not just a buzzword. Proactive reputation management is essential for leaders. Personal branding is crucial in today's job market. Leaders should share their stories to educate and help others. Social media is a powerful tool for internal communication. Podcasts provide a platform for authentic leadership. Storytelling is a fundamental aspect of human connection. The future of leadership involves embracing vulnerability and humanity.

President Trump is pulling the US out of UNESCO, the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural organization , citing its anti-America and anti-Israel leanings as well as its woke agenda. Trump ordered a 90-day review of America’s presence in UNESCO back in February, with special emphasis on probing any “anti-Semitism or anti-Israel sentiment within the organization.” Upon conducting the review, administration officials took issue with UNESCO’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies as well as its pro-Palestinian and pro-China bias, a White House official said. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Prof Gerald Steinberg, founder and president of NGO Monitor.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Diversity is a key to success in regenerative agriculture. However, most markets are not set up to receive diversity. This means we will have to develop our own markets to profit from the diversity we are bringing to our operation. Luke Jones, of Understanding Ag joins me to discuss the economics of introducing diversity.

You get a conversation like this one with Abadesi Osunsade. We touched on everything from equitable design and storytelling to generative AI and ethics. This episode isn't about answers — it's about questions that matter. And it reminded me why I started this show in the first place. ⸻ Article ⸻ Some conversations remind you why you hit “record” in the first place. This one with Abadesi Osunsade — founder of Hustle Crew, podcast host of Techish, and longtime tech leader — was exactly that kind of moment. We were supposed to connect in person at Infosecurity Europe in London, but the chaos of the event kept us from it. I'm glad it worked out this way instead, because what came out of our remote chat was raw, layered, and deeply human. Abadesi and I explored a lot in just over 30 minutes: her journey through big tech and startups, the origins of Hustle Crew, and how inclusion and equity aren't just HR buzzwords — they're the foundation of better design. Better products. Better culture. We talked about the usual “why diversity matters” angle — but went beyond it. She shared viral real-world examples of flawed design (like facial recognition or hand dryers that don't register dark skin) and challenged the myth that inclusive design is more expensive. Spoiler: it's more expensive not to do it right the first time. Then we jumped into AI — not just how it's being built, but who is building it. And what it means when those creators don't reflect the world they're supposedly designing for. We talked about generative AI, ethics, simulation, capitalism, utopia, dystopia — you know, the usual light stuff. What stood out most, though, was her reminder that this work — inclusion, education, change — isn't about shame or guilt. It's about possibility. Not everyone sees the world the same way, so you meet them where they are, with stories, with data, with empathy. And maybe, just maybe, you shift their perspective. This podcast was never meant to be just about tech. It's about how tech shapes society — and how society, in turn, must shape tech. Abadesi brought that full circle. Take a listen. Think with us. Then go build something better. ⸻ Keywords ⸻ Society and Technology, AI ethics, generative AI, inclusive design, tech innovation, product development, digital transformation, tech, technology, Diversity & Inclusion, equity in tech, inclusive leadership, unconscious bias, diverse teams, representation matters, belonging at workEnjoy.

SACRAMENTO, CA – Today, Assemblywoman Celeste Rodriguez (D-San Fernando) introduces her first bill in the 2025-26 legislative session, AB 495 – The Family Safety Plan Act, which will provide support to immigrant and mixed-status families by ensuring safety plans are in place in the event of immigration enforcement actions.“The threats from the federal administration have led to fear in many communities including mine,” said Assemblywoman Celeste Rodriguez. “We must do everything we can to safeguard families from separation and ensure children are supported. AB 495 is a critical tool that will preserve California's families.”Forty-five percent of California children have at least one immigrant parent. An estimated 1 million children in California have at least one undocumented parent, and approximately 133,000 children in California public schools are undocumented. This bill protects children in immigrant families by ensuring that families have safety plans in place in case of immigration enforcement actions.Assemblywoman Rodriguez represents the 43rd Assembly District, which includes the City of San Fernando and communities across the Northeast San Fernando Valley, including Arleta, Sun Valley, Sylmar, Pacoima, Panorama City, North Hollywood, Lake View Terrace, Valley Glen, Mission Hills and North Hills.

  Background: From IT in India to MedTech in Norway  You have a pretty fascinating background – you studied computer applications/IT back in India and now you're a Quality/Regulatory Manager in the Norwegian medtech scene. Can you walk us through that journey? How did you go from an IT degree in India to working with medical device regulations in Norway? (What prompted the move and career change?)  What were the biggest challenges when you switched into the medical devices field? For example, was there a steep learning curve with all the medical and regulatory jargon?  And conversely, do you think your IT background gives you any unique advantages in QARA? (Maybe in handling technical documentation or bringing a fresh perspective?)  Day-to-Day as a QARA Manager   Let's talk about what a QARA Manager actually does. What does a typical day or week look like for you as a Quality and Regulatory Affairs Manager? (For instance, are you reviewing a lot of documents, meeting with engineers, training colleagues, dealing with audits… all of the above?)  It would be great if you could mention some of the tools or software you use regularly. Are there specific QMS (Quality Management System) tools, document control systems, or even simple spreadsheets that are part of your daily routine?  We often hear that QA/RA folks are like the “internal police” in a company – some colleagues think you just spend days reading boring regulations and chasing them to follow rules (laughs). How true or untrue is that stereotype? How would you describe the role to someone who thinks it might be dry or overly bureaucratic?  On that note, an article I read actually said quality and regulatory roles are among the most dynamic and diverse in a company. You have to know a bit of everything – the tech, the laws, writing skills, you name it. What parts of the QARA role do you find most challenging, and which parts are the most rewarding?  (For example, is it challenging that the scope is so broad – one moment you're deep in engineering specs, next moment you're updating a regulatory policy? And rewarding perhaps when a product finally gets approved or when you prevent a big issue?)  First MedTech Role at Hy5Pro AS  Let's dive into your work experiences. Your first QARA role in Norway was at Hy5Pro AS, a startup developing a pretty cool product – a hydraulic prosthetic hand for amputees. What was it like stepping into Quality/Regulatory at a company making robotic hands?  (Feel free to explain what Hy5Pro's product was and your role there, e.g. implementing the quality system, getting certifications, etc.)  Do you have any memorable anecdotes from Hy5Pro? Perhaps a big challenge you faced early on or a funny incident while working on the prosthetic hand project. For instance, a lot of startups at that stage are trying to get their first ISO 13485 certification or pass initial regulatory hurdles – any story around that?  (e.g. “the day the auditors came for ISO certification” or a time something went wrong and how the team fixed it – anything that was a learning moment for you.)  Leading QARA at RemovAid AS   After Hy5, you moved on to RemovAid AS, which is another fascinating company – they created a device for removing contraceptive implants (a small gadget to help doctors remove those under-the-skin birth control implants). And I believe you were Head of Quality Assurance & Regulatory Compliance there. What were your main responsibilities at RemovAid, and how did it differ from your previous role?  RemovAid's product is a Class IIa medical device and was CE-marked under the new EU Medical Device Regulation. That sounds like a huge regulatory achievement. Can you share a proud moment from your time at RemovAid? For example, leading the company to ISO 13485 quality certification, or getting that CE approval, or the first time the device was manufactured at scale.  (We saw on LinkedIn you celebrated the first RemovAid device coming off a high-volume production line – feel free to tell that story!)  On the flipside, any tough or funny moments while at RemovAid? Perhaps juggling multiple roles in a small startup, or an unexpected problem that popped up (like a quirky product test failure or a documentation marathon just before a deadline)?  RemovAid is in women's health tech. Did working on a product aimed at female healthcare bring any special perspective or motivation for you? (Given it's about making contraceptive care easier – that's quite impactful.)  Consulting Experience at LINK Medical   Now, currently you're working at LINK Medical as a Medical Device Manager in their Quality/Regulatory team. So you went from being in-house at startups to a consulting role where you support multiple companies. What has that transition been like? How is life as a consultant different from working within a single company?  I imagine as a consultant you get to see a variety of projects – different devices, different teams – which can be exciting. Can you share any interesting experiences from your consulting work so far? Maybe an example of a cool project you helped on, or a common mistake you see companies making with QARA that you help fix, or even a humorous experience of jumping into a new company's project mid-stream.  Also, how do you manage your time and sanity when juggling multiple clients or projects? That sounds challenging – any personal tricks you've learned for staying organized when everyone needs your expertise at once? (laughs – “the consultant life”)*  Diversity and International Career Insights   I'd like to touch on diversity and your international experience. You're a woman in the medtech industry and you've built your career across two countries and cultures. Have you faced any unique challenges as a woman working in medical devices and QARA? And what about being an international professional – any cultural adjustments or advantages you've noticed working in Norway compared to India?  The medtech industry, especially in leadership, still isn't very diverse – I read that less than a quarter of executive roles in medtech are held by women. How do you feel about the state of diversity in our field? Are things improving, and have you seen progress during your career?  What advice would you give to companies or teams to foster a more inclusive environment, especially in fields like quality and regulatory? (Since those teams often work with all departments, they can influence company culture too.)  Rapid-Fire Round   Host: Okay, Pardeep, to wrap up on a fun note, we have a rapid-fire round! I'll ask you a series of quick questions and you answer with the first thing that comes to mind. Ready? (brief pause) Go!  Question 1: What's one thing about your job that most people would be surprised to learn?  Question 2: What's the coolest medical device or gadget you've worked on or seen so far?  Question 3: Are you team coffee or tea? (What fuels your workdays?)  Question 4: Is there a quality/regulatory jargon or acronym you think is funny or confusing (and what does it actually mean)?  Question 5: If you weren't in QARA, what alternate career could you see yourself in?  Question 6: What's one Norwegian word or phrase you've picked up that you love to use? (Bonus: translate it for us!)*  Question 7: If your career journey were made into a movie title, what would it be? (Just for fun!)  (Guest gives rapid-fire answers with laughter and brief commentary.)  Advice and Closing   Now, before we sign off, I want to circle back to a more reflective note. What advice or words of inspiration do you have for junior professionals, students, or even folks thinking of switching careers into Quality and Regulatory in medtech? For someone listening who says, “This sounds interesting but also a bit overwhelming,” how can they prepare and what should they expect?  (For example, should they get familiar with certain regulations or take courses? Find a mentor? Be ready to continually learn? Share any practical tips.)  And maybe equally important, what should they not be scared of? People might think “Oh, I'm not a science or law expert, can I do this?” – any encouragement to help them overcome that hesitation?      Podcast Interview Questions for Pardeep Kaur (Reg compliance manager Oslo University Hospital)  Welcome & Setup  Can you briefly introduce yourself and describe your current role as a Quality & Regulatory Affairs Manager?  Career Journey  How did you go from earning a Computer Applications/IT degree in India to a QARA career in Norway?  What motivated you to switch into medical device regulations, and what were the biggest initial challenges?  In what ways has your IT background helped you excel in QARA?  Day-to-Day Responsibilities  What does a typical day or week look like for you as a QARA Manager?  Which tools or software (QMS systems, document controls, etc.) do you rely on most?  Is it true that QA/RA professionals are the “internal police”? How would you describe the role to someone who thinks it's all paperwork?  Which aspects of QARA do you find most challenging, and which are the most rewarding?  Hy5Pro AS Experience  What was it like implementing QARA at Hy5Pro, developing a hydraulic prosthetic hand?  Can you share a memorable “learning moment” or funny anecdote from your time there?  RemovAid AS Experience  At RemovAid, you led Quality & Regulatory for a Class IIa implant-removal device—what were your core responsibilities?  Describe a proud milestone (e.g., ISO 13485 certification or CE marking) and the story behind it.  Any unexpected or humorous challenges you overcame in that role?  How did working on a women's health product impact you personally?  LINK Medical Consulting  How has transitioning to a consulting role at LINK Medical differed from in-house QARA positions?  What's a standout project or recurring compliance issue you help clients solve?  How do you stay organized when juggling multiple clients and deadlines?  Diversity & International Insights  As a woman in medtech QARA, have you faced any unique challenges or opportunities?  What cultural adjustments did you experience moving from India to Norway?  How can medtech teams become more inclusive, especially in QA/RA?  Rapid-Fire Round  (Answer quickly with the first thing that comes to mind.)  One surprise fact about your job?  Coolest device or gadget you've worked on or seen?  Favorite (or funniest) QARA acronym—what does it mean?  Alternate career you might have chosen?  Norwegian word or phrase you love—translate it for us!  If your career were a movie title, what would it be?  Closing Advice  What practical steps should students or career-changers take to break into QARA?  What misconceptions shouldn't they be afraid of when considering this field?

The conversation highlights the systemic tendency to assume straight, cisgender norms and underscores the significance of comprehensive sexuality education, LGBTQIA training, and community and peer connections.This episode dives into actionable strategies for direct support professionals, clinicians, and family members to create affirming spaces. Dr. Gonzalez Noveiri emphasizes the role of self-reflection to recognize and combat personal biases, as well as the necessity of embracing a trauma-informed approach to support those with developmental disabilities. Important interventions are discussed, such as employing visual aids, enhancing peer connections, and collaborating with external LGBTQIA organizations. By centering on autonomy and challenging prevailing biases, the discussion seeks to honor the full humanity of individuals with developmental disabilities while equipping caregivers and support professionals to better support their journeys.Key Takeaways:Creating LGBTQIA affirming environments in support settings requires challenging systemic assumptions and championing person-centered planning.Direct support professionals should practice inclusive language, foster an environment that visually represents diversity, and create opportunities that provide space for self-discovery and self-expression.Self-reflection and honest acknowledgment of biases are crucial for caregivers and professionals to avoid imposing personal discomfort onto those they support.Understanding trauma histories and integrating trauma-informed approaches are fundamental to facilitating healthy personal exploration and relationships.Collaborating with LGBTQIA organizations and fostering peer-led education can fundamentally empower individuals with developmental disabilities.Notable Quotes:"Exploring your identity is a fundamental human right." – Dr. Sarah Gonzalez"Limited communication should not limit the exploration of identity." – Dr. Sarah Gonzalez"Being honest with ourselves about biases allows us to better support individuals authentically." – Asheley Blaise"Building peer connections and partnerships is key to shifting support from protection to empowerment." – Dr. Sarah GonzalezResources:AHRC NassauThe LGBTQ Community Center, New York StateThis 2-part interview is packed with thoughtful insights and practical strategies for anyone engaged in the support of individuals with developmental disabilities.

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John Pinna speaks with Brad Knight, son of Paula White Cain and stepson of Jonathan Cain. Knight details his parents' unique meeting on a Southwest flight and how their diverse backgrounds (his mother as a faith advisor and his stepfather as Journey's keyboardist) have influenced their lives. The conversation then shifts to Knight's personal journey, sharing his experience as a pastor of Story Life church, which he took over from his mother, emphasizing a storytelling and prophetic approach to faith rooted in love and grace rather than judgment. He reveals his own past as an atheist and his powerful, personal spiritual encounter, contrasting this experiential faith with rigid theological apologetics. Knight also discusses his involvement with the National Faith Advisory Board, highlighting its role in fostering interfaith engagement, particularly since the Trump administration, to preserve shared values and encourage people of faith to actively participate in the political sphere, asserting that faith and public life should not be separated. About Brad Knight Brad Knight is the Lead Pastor of StoryLife Church (https://www.storylifechurch.com/) in Apopka, FL. In addition to pastoring, he works with the National Faith Advisory Board to engage the faith community on issues that matter most to them.

He's 14 years into a marriage to a beautiful firebrand named Rachel Knight and has the two cutest kids in the world—his 8-year-old daughter, Asher, and his 6-year-old son, Nick. He really believes Bret Hart is "The Best There Is, The Best There Was, And The Best There Ever Will Be." Will preach for baseball tickets.

But in fact, it never was. At every point since the invention of the Left/Right spectrum in the fevered, bloodthirsty frenzy of the French Revolution, the Left has been a post-Christian heresy. It's a cargo cult that cherrypicks from the gospels shiny moral sentiments and glittering aspirations, like the work of some mindless magpie. A New Rival Gospel Never mind that Jesus's moral mandates would be literally nonsensical if He was not divine and couldn't offer eternal rewards for self-sacrifice in this life. (Try explaining “Turn the other cheek” to Ghengis Khan and then get back to me; I'd love to hear how that goes. The meek did not inherit the Mongol Empire.) Nor that claims of “equality” among all men only hold up if we mean “in the eyes of God,” since in our own sight we're vastly diverse and manifestly unequal. Even the militantly atheistic, self-styled “scientific” Communist Utopia millions were willing to kill for was cooked up by Karl Marx as a thinly secularized knock-off of the New Jerusalem. Read historian Norman Cohn's authoritative The Pursuit of the Millennium to learn how Marx's program replicated the crackpot claims of self-anointed “prophets” who roused the rabble to murder the priests and pillage the local Jews. But Leftists are born with the same God-shaped hole in their souls as everyone else, so they plunder the Gospel to fill it, picking only the bits and pieces that please them to make a kind of taxidermied replacement Christ fashioned in their own image. These false Christs or antichrists are invariably cast as victims, waved around as banners, and finally used as cudgels … to pummel actual Christians. First the Peasants, Then the Workers The original radical Leftists of the French Revolution held up “the peasants” as the suffering souls for whom they fought — even as the revolutionary government waged a vicious, genocidal war against the real, live peasants of the Vendee region, killing some 300,000 for the crime of clinging to their Church, instead of the fake one the government had set up and imposed on them. A hundred years later, Karl Marx and his movement would claim the international working class as the victims whom they'd champion against the ruthless exploitation of capitalist oppressors. But Marx would fiercely oppose any moderate reforms that would improve workers' real lives, since these might slow down the bloody revolution he needed to impose Communist rule. His followers would fight against any labor unions they couldn't control. Of course, once the Communists seized power in Russia, then other countries, they would enslave the workers and peasants alike, putting them to work in state-owned monopolies, closing their churches, and subjecting them to totalitarian surveillance and persecution. The New Antichrist Idols: “Persecuted” Immigrants The present face of Leftist false religion manifests as a trinity: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and its ersatz Christ figure is the immigrant. Marxists and tribalists paint immigrants as victims of climate change, Islamophobia, and dictatorial governments. Cheap labor globalists depict them as rough and ready workers whose ethic is better than the sullen, spoiled American natives ripe for replacement.   The media, besotted by their new post-Christian creed, like to select which immigrant stories to tell, the better to paint the Trump administration and its backers as heartless, intolerant, ignorant racist bullies. But Trump's team has been clever, having learned from the debacle of 2017, when their efforts to protect child migrants from human traffickers got painted as “separating families” and “putting kids in cages.” So the administration focused its first removal efforts on gang members, rabid antisemites and jihadists, confident that diversity-happy editors and lawless federal judges wouldn't be able to restrain themselves — but would lionize and try to paint as wounded, hapless puppies the worst immigrants on Earth. Poor, Poor Pitiful Jihadis The Left took the bait. Look at the latest “victims” these apostles of counterfeit Christian compassion have decided to paint as martyrs: The equally radical, equally illegal immigrant relatives of the vicious jihadi who used arson to target a Jewish event to aid Holocaust survivors (one of whom he burned to death), Mohamed Sabry Soliman. Mass media can't help themselves. They're too driven by religious zeal: Of course, the facts of the case fall by the wayside in all this jerry-rigged empathy: Collecting Slaves for Sex Traffickers So the Left will go to the wall for privileged, middle-class, jihadi Muslims who blew through their tourist visas and stayed in our country so their patriarch could incinerate Jews who'd escaped the Nazis. You know who the Left won't talk about? The 300,000 unaccompanied minors smuggled into our country and sent to whoever wanted them, with no vetting or DNA tests for alleged relatives. (Joe Biden abolished that.) How are things going for those migrants, who aren't incinerating American Jews? Gateway Pundit gives us a glimpse: A 37-year-old illegal immigrant, Wilson Manfredo Lopez-Carillo, was arrested in Palm Beach County, Florida, for sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl placed in his home through the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) “Unaccompanied Alien Children” (UAC) program. According to the Daily Wire, the arrest was made on May 22, 2025. According to charging documents from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, Lopez-Carillo faces three counts of sexual assault on a minor. The victim, who arrived in the U.S. in August 2023 as an unaccompanied minor, was sent by HHS to live with Lopez-Carillo and others in a loosely vetted household.   Police reports detail a horrifying pattern of abuse, with Lopez-Carillo allegedly taking advantage of the girl's isolation to assault her on multiple occasions in February 2024.   On one occasion, while the adult woman in the household was out selling tamales to support the family, Lopez-Carillo allegedly grabbed the teen in the kitchen, dragged her to his bedroom, and sexually assaulted her.   A second incident followed a similar pattern, with the predator offering the girl $100 to stay silent — an offer she bravely refused. Fearing retribution, the teen initially did not report the assaults, as Lopez-Carillo had threatened her to keep quiet.   Go read the rest, if you have the heart. How many more victims are on Joe Biden's catatonic conscience? We won't know on this side of the grave.   This is the filth, the exploitation, the mass rape that the Left is happy to invite into our nation in order to pose as defenders of “victims” and rack up names for voter fraud. Once again, the group designated as “victims” get victimized for real by those who pretend to defend them.   Leftists haven't just chosen Barabbas. They have tarted him up as Christ.   John Zmirak is a senior editor at The Stream and author or coauthor of 14 books, including The Politically Incorrect Guide to Immigration and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Catholicism.

He is co-author with Jason Jones of “God, Guns, & the Government.”   John Zmirak's latest book: No Second Amendment, No First  by John Zmirak  Available March 19, 2024 Today's Left endlessly preaches the evils of “gun violence." It is a message increasingly echoed from the nation's pulpits, presented as common-sense decency and virtue. Calls for “radical non-violence” are routinely endowed with the imprimatur of religious doctrine.   But what if such teachings were misguided, even damaging? What if the potential of a citizenry to exercise force against violent criminals and tyrannical governments is not just compatible with church teaching, but flows from the very heart of Biblical faith and reason? What if the freedoms we treasure are intimately tied to the power to resist violent coercion?  This is the long-overdue case John Zmirak makes with stunning clarity and conviction in No Second Amendment, No First. A Yale-educated journalist and former college professor, Zmirak shows how the right of self-defense against authoritarian government was affirmed in both the Old and New Testaments, is implied in Natural Law, and has been part of Church tradition over the centuries.   --------------------------------------------------------------------
