A few months ago, I came across an incredible video. It's the early 70s, and a local Chicago talk show is interviewing a doctor who wrote a sex education book that millions of people across the country were reading … unaware that it was full of wildly incorrect and frankly homophobic claims about homosexuals. The interview is going smoothly until suddenly a man jumps up from the studio audience and does what nobody else had dared — he confronts the doctor about his misinformation and demands he explain himself. That man in the audience was Murray Edelman, and I'm very excited to say that he's my guest this week on The Sewers of Paris.Here's the video — jump to 9:25 to see Murray's interruption: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PChFM8kAjhw A quick reminder that I have a new video up on YouTube about the long, messy fight for marriage equality, check that out at https://YouTube.com/mattbaume.

In this episode of Shift AI, Patrick Hillmann, Chief Strategy Officer at Logical Intelligence, joins host Boaz Ashkenazy for a conversation about why the next era of AI cannot be built on probability alone.Patrick shares his unconventional path into AI, from crisis communications and cybersecurity work at Edelman and General Electric, to steering Binance through its most turbulent years and a major DOJ settlement. At Logical Intelligence, Patrick now works alongside Yann LeCun, a Fields Medalist, and engineers from Meta, Google, and Cruise to build deterministic, energy-based reasoning models.Patrick explains why LLMs behave like a confident intern, fast and articulate, but wrong in ways you only catch if you already know the answer, and why critical systems like power grids, hospitals, and self-driving cars need a layer of certainty that probabilistic systems cannot provide. He and Boaz dig into Logical Intelligence's benchmark results, including a 98% score on the notoriously difficult Putnam math competition, and a public Sudoku test where their energy-based model, Kona, beat every major LLM combined while running on a fraction of the compute cost. This episode is essential listening for CTOs, technical leaders, and anyone trying to understand what comes after the current generation of large language models.Chapters[00:00] Patrick's Improbable Path: From Grad School to the Front Lines of a Geopolitical Crisis[02:43] From Binance to Chief Strategy Officer at Logical Intelligence[02:54] The First Paid Job: Unloading UPS Trucks in 100 Degree Heat[04:31] The UPS Lesson That Still Shapes How He Thinks About Work[04:47] Why LLMs Are Confident Guessing Machines, Not Truth Machines[07:14] The Team Behind Logical Intelligence: A Fields Medalist, Yann LeCun, and Math Olympiad Engineers[08:55] Is Logical Intelligence Betting Against LLMs?[10:32] The AI Sandwich: Where LLMs, Reasoning Layers, and World Models Fit[12:36] The Putnam Benchmark and Why Formal Proofs Don't Get Partial Credit[15:44] What Is an Energy-Based Model, Really?[19:54] Eve Badia's 15-Year Path to the Energy-Based Reasoning Model[22:04] Formal Verification and the Future of Secure Code Generation[23:33] When Unverified Code Fails: The Molson Coors Ransomware Story[25:39] Why AI Coding Tools Create Rat's Nests Engineers Can't Debug[28:53] The Sudoku Test: 98% Accuracy for $4 vs $14,000 for the Leading LLMs[31:13] ByteDance, China, and the Race for Formal Methods[33:42] Two Words for the Future of AI: Chaotic Determinism[37:12] Where to Follow Logical Intelligence and Founder Eve BadiaConnect with Patrick HillmannLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/crisiscommunicationsConnect with Boaz AshkenazyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boazashkenazy/Email: info@shiftai.fm

Prayer is often treated as a last resort, yet Scripture presents it as one of our greatest weapons in the spiritual battle. What if the struggles we face are deeper than circumstances, relationships, or difficult seasons?This Sunday, we explored what it means to be spiritually awake, to recognize the battle around us, and to fight with prayer. We discovered why Paul urged believers to strive together in prayer, and how God calls us to stand in the gap for one another. Most importantly, we learned where true victory is found, not in our strength, but in putting on the Lord Jesus Christ. Listen and learn how prayer connects us to the power, presence, and peace of God in the midst of life's battles. Scripture: Romans 15:30-33; Ephesians 6:12

In a Cannes Lions special, PRWeek's Beyond the Noise speaks to communications professionals from Edelman, Burson and Smarts about this year's Festival.Ahead of the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, which starts on Monday (22 June), PRWeek UK spoke to Edelman's international chief creative officer, international, Kate Stanners, alongside Burson's chief strategy officer, Eleanor Sullivan, and Smarts' brand futures director, Natalie Moores.Beyond the Noise looks at some of the biggest communications and PR issues. Download the podcast via Apple, Spotify, or listen in the browser above or on your favourite platform.The trio discuss what they are looking forward to at this year's event, whether purpose-led campaigns will win big this year, and the impact of AI technology. They also offer advice on how to get the most out of the festival from a business perspective.Asked whether the festival may look a bit extravagant in 2026, especially given industry consolidation and cost-cutting, alongside the ongoing geopolitical strife, the professionals share their thoughts. As part of the episode, the three comms pros debate earned creativity within the PR Lions, and if the lines between PR and advertising have blurred. Stanners, who spent two decades at advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi before joining Edelman last year, dismissed the idea of a turf war between PR and advertising agencies.“There is a school of thought where advertising agencies are saying: ‘Watch out, PR companies, we know how to do it,'” she said. “I think, interestingly, it's the wrong discussion to have. This is about recognising the power of a very different media landscape.”In the discussion, Stanners argued that audience behaviour increasingly favours earned communications over traditional advertising.“Ninety-nine per cent of people would like to skip the ads if they could, so that tells us a huge amount,” she said. “People are significantly more likely to trust work that comes in an earned space, which also tells us a huge amount.” PR retains a unique advantage in creating earned impact, added Stanners. “It is a battleground, probably, for all sorts of businesses to be playing in. But a truly earned piece of work plays slightly differently.”The three professionals assess the festival's updated guidelines, introduced following controversies at last year's awards, and whether they will prove effective.And the panel members share their own experiences at Cannes and outline the criteria they use to evaluate what makes a standout PR campaign.  Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the TCOYD Podcast, Dr. Edelman and Dr. Pettus are joined by pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Jamie Wood, medical director of pediatric diabetes at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital and an investigator on the INHALE-1 trial, to talk through inhaled insulin in kids and where it fits in real-world pediatric care.The conversation focuses on the recent approval of Afrezza for children as young as six, and what the INHALE-1 trial actually showed. Dr. Wood walks through the study design, A1C results, lung-function and safety data, and the practical aspects of dosing inhaled insulin in a pediatric population. Rather than positioning it as a replacement for injections or pumps, the discussion centers on finding the right fit for each child's needs, from the newly diagnosed kid with a needle phobia to the teen trying to dose discreetly during a 20-minute school lunch.Dr. E, Dr. P, and Dr. Wood also discuss the everyday realities that shape how this option is used, including the set-dose cartridge sizes, a titration approach refined in clinic, and how families are mixing and matching tools alongside automated insulin delivery. The takeaway is encouraging: there are more options than ever for managing mealtime insulin in kids, and this one may help fill some of the gaps left by injections and pumps.Key Topics • The recent approval of inhaled insulin for children as young as six • How the INHALE-1 pediatric trial was designed • A1C results and what the primary endpoint analysis showed • Continuous glucose monitor (CGM) metrics across the two groups • Lung-function (FEV1) monitoring and pediatric safety • Weight and body mass index (BMI) findings • Why mealtime dosing is a leading unmet need in pediatric type 1 diabetes (T1D) • The set-dose cartridge approach and how it reframes meal sizes • A real-world titration method for inhaled insulin • Managing cough and other practical considerations • Needle phobia and the kids who struggle most with injections • Using inhaled insulin alongside automated insulin delivery (AID) systems • What's coming next, including a smaller cartridge dose and a new-onset trial Subscribe for practical diabetes management tips, technology updates, and treatment breakthroughs that help people with diabetes live healthier, more flexible lives.More diabetes resources:Website: tcoyd.orgBlog: tcoyd.org/blogPodcast: tcoydthepodcast.transistor.fmInstagram: / tcoydFacebook: / tcoydStay connected!

"My career, I like to say, is about saving the world one word at a time." "I love team building. I love creating something from nothing or growing it further." "Creating connection and engagement with people" is one of the hardest parts of leading remotely. "You need to show the vision, where you're going, and why that matters." "Leadership is really about unlocking the potential and power of those who report to you." Meghan Barstow is President of Edelman Japan, bringing a career defined by language, communications, adaptability and cross-cultural leadership. Her Japan story began thirty years earlier when she studied Japanese at Kansai Gaidai in Osaka after intensive language training in the United States. With an academic background in English literature and Japanese, she describes herself as "a woman who loves words," a phrase that neatly captures her professional journey. After university, Barstow returned to Japan through the JET Program, spending three years in rural Kagoshima as an ALT and CIR. That immersive experience deepened both her Japanese language capability and her understanding of regional Japan. She later worked for Hyogo Prefecture's business and cultural centre in Seattle, taught Japanese at a public high school, and returned to Tokyo to create business English textbooks before entering PR and communications through Adcom Group's Tri Media. Her career with Edelman began in Japan on the healthcare team when the office was still relatively small. She later moved to the United States, took time to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada, and rejoined Edelman in Washington, D.C., where she developed her leadership capabilities across client leadership, sector leadership and employee experience. Her long-held ambition was to return to Japan and lead an office. She eventually came back as President of Edelman Japan, taking on the challenge of leading more than seventy people during the COVID era, much of it remotely. Barstow's leadership context is shaped by global communications, Japanese cultural fluency, remote transformation, employee engagement, trust-building and organisational change. Her adaptability in Japan comes not from a single posting, but from repeated immersion, reinvention and a deep belief that words, trust and human connection sit at the centre of effective leadership. Meghan Barstow's leadership story is a study in language, mobility, resilience and change. As President of Edelman Japan, she leads an organisation at the intersection of communications, marketing, trust, earned attention and cultural transformation. Her path to Japan did not begin with the usual clichés of pop culture or food. Instead, it began with a love of travel, a willingness to take on difficult languages and a desire to build a career through communication. Her first deep experience of Japan came as a student at Kansai Gaidai in Osaka. Later, through the JET Program, she spent three years in rural Kagoshima, an experience that gave her more than language ability. It gave her the kind of cultural immersion that helps a foreign leader understand Japan beyond Tokyo boardrooms. She went on to work in cultural exchange, education, publishing and eventually PR, where she discovered that communications felt like her "calling." Barstow's return to Japan as Edelman's country leader came after significant leadership experience in the United States, particularly in Washington, D.C. Yet the move back was not simply a geographic transfer. She returned to a Japan office undergoing transformation, in an industry where the boundaries between PR, marketing, advertising, digital and corporate communications had become increasingly blurred. Edelman's value proposition, as she explains it, lies in being independent, family-owned, grounded in earned attention and differentiated by decades of research into trust through the Edelman Trust Barometer. Her biggest challenge was not only strategy. It was connection. She took on the role during COVID and had not met most of her employees face to face. Leading a team of more than seventy people remotely required deliberate communication, listening and repetition. She used all-staff business updates, weekly written roundups, one-on-one meetings, roundtables, strategy workshops and "strategy spotlight" sessions to make the direction tangible. In Japan, where uncertainty avoidance, consensus and nemawashi matter, remote transformation made alignment even harder. Barstow's approach to change management is grounded in clarity, role modelling and personal experience. She believes leaders must show the vision, explain why it matters, gain manager buy-in and give employees direct experiences of the new strategy. This is especially important in Japan, where change can feel risky because it moves people from competence into uncertainty. The challenge is not simply to announce direction, but to help people understand it emotionally and practically. Her leadership style is also shaped by trust. She recognises that trust in Japan is hard-won, takes time and becomes even more difficult in a remote environment. She sees consistency, integrity, care and communication as central to building it. Employee engagement surveys, business performance metrics and informal feedback help her understand whether the organisation is moving, but she also recognises that Japanese survey responses can be culturally restrained. For her, improvement over time matters more than absolute scores. Her view of leadership is ultimately humble and enabling. She sees the leader's role not as personal heroics, but as unlocking the potential of others. Sometimes the leader stands in front, showing the way. Sometimes beside people, supporting them step by step. Sometimes behind them, cheering them forward. For foreign executives in Japan, her lesson is clear: the fundamentals of leadership may be universal, but the path to alignment, buy-in and trust requires patience, listening, nemawashi and respect for how decisions are actually made. Q&A Summary What makes leadership in Japan unique? Leadership in Japan requires a careful balance between hierarchy and bottom-up consensus. Meghan Barstow observes that people may defer to the leader and expect direction, while also expecting decisions to emerge through wider involvement and alignment. This creates a leadership paradox for foreign executives. They must provide vision and direction without bypassing the consensus-building process that helps people feel ownership. Japan's business culture places high value on listening, patience, nemawashi and relationship-based trust. Leaders need to spend more time preparing the ground before pushing major initiatives forward. This is not simply politeness. It is a practical requirement for gaining commitment and avoiding resistance. In Barstow's experience, one-on-one listening, roundtables and repeated communication are essential to helping people understand both the logic and emotional meaning of change. Why do global executives struggle? Global executives often struggle in Japan because they underestimate how much time alignment takes. In faster-moving Western environments, a leader may announce a strategy and expect the organisation to move. In Japan, the message may need to be repeated, discussed, localised and validated through multiple channels before people fully commit. Barstow's own challenge was intensified by remote work. She was leading more than seventy people, yet had not met most of them face to face. That made trust-building, employee engagement and emotional connection much harder. Global executives may also misread employee engagement data, because Japanese respondents often score more conservatively than employees in other markets. Barstow therefore focuses less on comparing Japan with global averages and more on whether the organisation is improving over time. Is Japan truly risk-averse? Japan is often described as risk-averse, but Barstow's experience suggests the issue is more nuanced. The deeper challenge is uncertainty avoidance. People may hesitate when change pushes them out of a known area of competence into a new environment where they may make mistakes or lose face. This is particularly important in Japan's quality-conscious, defect-sensitive culture. For leaders, the answer is not to criticise caution. It is to reduce uncertainty through explanation, involvement, repetition and evidence of progress. Barstow emphasises the importance of showing the vision, explaining why it matters and giving people personal experiences of the change. When employees see that a new way of working succeeds with clients or improves outcomes, the change becomes real rather than abstract. What leadership style actually works? Barstow's leadership style combines strategic clarity, listening, humility and persistence. She began her tenure by preserving existing communication rhythms, then spent her first months listening through one-on-ones and roundtables. After understanding what employees wanted and needed, she built a communication and engagement plan around strategy, business updates and practical learning. She also recognises the importance of the "frozen middle" — the layer of managers who can either accelerate or block transformation. In Japan, leaders need managers to champion the change, role model new behaviours and translate strategy into daily practice. A leadership style that works is therefore not only top-down. It is distributed, repeated and reinforced through many small touchpoints. How can technology help? Technology can support leadership, but it cannot replace human trust. Barstow used remote platforms, written updates, engagement dashboards, survey tools and virtual roundtables to maintain communication during COVID. These tools created visibility when informal office interactions disappeared. Written communication also helped employees absorb messages at their own pace, especially in a multilingual environment. Technology can also improve decision intelligence by giving leaders more data about employee engagement, business performance and organisational change. In the future, tools such as digital twins of organisational workflows could help leaders model bottlenecks, workload pressures or collaboration patterns. However, Barstow's experience shows that technology only helps when paired with listening, empathy and human interpretation. Does language proficiency matter? Language proficiency matters, but cultural fluency matters even more. Barstow's Japanese study, rural JET Program experience and repeated periods living and working in Japan gave her a deeper foundation than a short-term expatriate assignment would have provided. Her language background helped her connect with Japan, but her leadership effectiveness also comes from understanding context, patience and communication style. She also recognises that English can be challenging in remote settings, even for capable bilingual professionals. Written updates, clear repetition and structured communication help ensure people can process complex information. For foreign leaders, language ability is valuable, but the bigger issue is whether employees feel understood, respected and included. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? The ultimate leadership lesson from Barstow's experience is that leadership is about unlocking the potential and power of others. She does not see leadership as being centred on the leader's ego. Rather, it is about helping people grow, strengthening organisational capability and creating conditions where others can succeed. Her definition of leadership is flexible. Sometimes leaders must lead from the front, showing the way. Sometimes they stand side by side, supporting people closely. Sometimes they lead from behind, encouraging and cheering others forward. In Japan, the most effective leaders combine vision with patience, courage with humility and strategy with the deep human work of trust-building.

Summary Lt Gen Clint Hinote, USAF (Ret.), and CH(COL) Light Shin, USA, join host Josh Jackson to examine influencer culture through a biblical lens. Hinote brings decades of military leadership experience and is now building a speaking ministry focused on integrating Christian faith and leadership into a single, unified message. Shin serves as an active-duty Army chaplain and father of three daughters, navigating influencer culture's effects on faith and family in real time. Both will be speaking on the theme of influence at OCF's White Sulphur Springs Conference Center this summer. The conversation begins by establishing a biblical framework for thinking about influence—one that applies to all Christians before it applies to military officers specifically. A few key distinctions anchor everything that follows. First, the platform versus the algorithm. Both guests agree that social media platforms are morally neutral—the tool itself is neither good nor evil. Hinote compares them to the Roman road system: the same infrastructure used to carry armies also carried the early gospel across the known world. What man built for one purpose, God can use for another. The YouVersion Bible App is offered as a contemporary example of Christians using technology with vision for gospel purposes. The algorithms driving those platforms, however, are a different matter. They are deliberately engineered not to inform or build up users, but to keep them scrolling—by targeting base impulses, feeding comparison, and manufacturing shame. Hinote frames these as the "flaming arrows" of Ephesians 6, and the first thing you see on social media that triggers envy, comparison, or temptation is an arrow. Recognize it. Raise your shield of faith. Second, influencer versus witness. Shin draws a sharp distinction from Acts 1:8, saying that an influencer seeks to build a following but a witness tells the truth about what they have seen and heard, regardless of the audience's reaction. Both guests agree that Christian influence should be a byproduct of a Christ-centered life—not a goal pursued in its own right. When influence becomes the goal, self replaces God at the center. The framework they offer is simple: know Christ above all things, do what Christ commanded, and become more like Jesus through that ongoing, lifelong process. Influence, rightly understood, flows from that. As Shin puts it, the question worth asking regularly is: "Whose kingdom did I build today—God's or mine?" Third, authenticity over curation. The lie of influencer culture, Hinote argues, is that you have to look like you have it all figured out. In reality, authenticity builds trust, and trust is what creates genuine influence. This is as true in the gospel as it is in personal branding, and the early church wrestled with the same pull toward following personalities over Christ, as Paul addresses directly in 1 Corinthians 1:12. The standard the guests return to throughout is 1 Peter 3:15 (ESV): "Always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you—yet do it with gentleness and respect." With that foundation in place, the conversation turns to what this means specifically for Christian officers serving in uniform. Referenced in this conversation: Summer R&R 2 at WSS (Hinote) Summer R&R 6 at WSS (Shin) YouVersion Bible App The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness by Timothy Keller   Questions answered and themes covered in this interview include:   How is social media affecting the younger generation entering military service? Young people entering the military are increasingly shaped by a worldview centered on self-promotion, curated personas, and metrics of online acceptance. This stands in direct tension with what military formation is designed to accomplish. The foundational goal of basic training is the breakdown of individual ego and the subordination of self to the unit. Shin references Timothy Keller's The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness as the counterpoint to what he observes: recruits arriving not in freedom, but in what he calls "bondage of self-obsession"—more concerned with how they're perceived on a platform than how they're showing up for the person next to them. Hinote adds that this tension isn't new, and that American individualism has always been something the military has had to address. However, the platforms intensify that individualism by continuously reinforcing exactly the self-focused impulses that military culture is trying to dismantle. Character development must be continuous and intentional, not treated as something institutions address only when there's time. Resource: The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness by Timothy Keller   How do I share my faith as a military officer without it being weird or forced? Start by living the message before communicating it, and know which role you're speaking from at any given moment. Hinote, drawing from his own experience rising through senior military ranks, offers a framework that proved practically useful. When you are on a platform, in uniform, with rank on your shoulders and a flag behind you, you are speaking from a position of institutional authority, and conflating that authority with the authority of Christ risks manipulation and coercion, which is not Christlike leadership. In settings where you have more personal freedom—as a church member, a neighbor, a citizen—you have more latitude to speak openly about your faith. The key is empathy: always consider what role your audience sees you occupying. In either context, when you fail—and you will—own it and apologize. Authenticity builds trust. Trust creates real influence. A practical starting point Hinote recommends for any developing leader is this: keep a journal, write down every role you hold, and identify the through line connecting them all. Then live that through line. The standard throughout is 1 Peter 3:15 (ESV): "Always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you—yet do it with gentleness and respect." Statistics and data shared this episode (plus a few extra not included): A working definition of influencer culture: Influencer culture is a social and economic phenomenon created when social media platforms reward people for curating a public identity, performing for engagement, and building an audience around themselves. Influencers use their platform to shape the opinions, lifestyles, and purchasing decisions of their audience. Every generation is influenced in some way by influencer marketing: 55% of Gen Z trust influencer recommendations, compared with 44% of Millennials, 35% of Gen X, and 28% of Baby Boomers (2025 Clutch survey). StoryBox says there are approximately 127 million active social media influencers worldwide—roughly 2.4% of the global social media user base of 5+ billion people. EMarketer breaks that down into 4 tiers of influencers: Nano: 1,000–10,000 followers; Micro: 10,000–100,000 followers; Macro: 100,000–1 million followers; and Mega/celebrity: 1 million+ followers. The vast majority of influencers on TikTok (nearly 88%) are nano-influencers and Instagram follows a similar pattern with nano-influencers representing about 76% of its influencers (eMarketer). According to some reports, military-related content on TikTok alone amassed over 15 billion views in 2023; look up #MilTok. Military.com calls it the rise of soldier influencers. Influencer culture is not just shaping what people buy (or which branch to join)—it's doing three things: It's shaping how an entire generation sees themselves, forms relationships, and decides who to trust. Consider the following: In terms of how they see themselves: Writer and Substack author Freya India, whose book GIRLS was published earlier this year, frames influencer culture this way—girls as young as 12 packaging themselves for Instagram, getting feedback on their appearance, measuring their worth in likes and followers. An adjacent stat is this: 47% of Gen Z often or always feel anxious (Gallup, 2023). That's the self-perception toll. In terms of forming relationships: A Harvard study says 61% of young adults ages 18–25 report profound loneliness—the highest rate of any age group. This is the one that tends to surprise people, because the assumption is that hyper-connected generations would be less lonely or that older generations would be the loneliest. In terms of deciding who to trust: Only 8% of Gen Z say there's a religious leader they can turn to (Springtide Research). And from Edelman—religious and faith leaders rank at 44% trust rate among Gen Z, well below doctors, scientists, and teachers. But here's the flip side: family members rank at 88% trust. The hunger for relational authority is still there and it's real. Instead, it's institutional authority that's taken a hit.

Most sustainability communicators don't have the title, the budget, or the C-suite access to force anyone to do anything. So how do they get things done? That's the question at the center of this conversation with Aman Singh, Director of Global ESG and Sustainability Communications at Kenvue—the company behind Tylenol, Neutrogena, Aveeno, Listerine, and a long list of other household names. Aman has spent her career figuring out how to move organizations from the inside—at Walmart, at Edelman, and now at Kenvue—and her answer isn't what most people expect. It's not about better data, sharper messaging, or more compelling reports. It's about relationships, timing, and learning to speak other people's language before you ask them to speak yours. In this episode, we get into what "influencing without authority" actually looks like in practice, why the old volume-equals-visibility playbook is finished, how to navigate the current era of greenhushing without hiding in fear, and what makes sustainability communicators effective versus annoying. We also talk about our shared career paths—journalism, agencies, consulting—and what it really means to build a purposeful career in a field that didn't exist when most of us started. If sustainability communication is your full-time job or your side hustle, this one's for you.

Een Franse tiener stortte zich met heel zijn enthousiasme, idealisme en aristocratische ponteneur 250 jaar geleden in de onafhankelijkheidsstrijd in Amerika. Hij werd – al in die tijd - een soort popster en kreeg de bijnaam 'held van twee werelden'. Het was het ongebruikelijke begin van een ongekend avontuurlijk leven tijdens revolutie, omwenteling en strijd voor democratie en mensenrechten. Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette - een onvervalst Hollywood-epos waardig. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger vertellen het verhaal over de meest vereerde Europeaan in de rebelse dertien koloniën. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Een weeskind uit een adellijke, puissant rijke en krijgshaftige dynastie in Auvergne. Hij kende iedereen en speelde waar hij opdook een hoofdrol in meeslepende gebeurtenissen. Als politicus, generaal, diplomaat, filosoof en bemiddelaar. Hij was een tijdgenoot van al die fascinerende mensen van Verlichting, Romantiek en revolutiejaren. Napoleon, Goethe, Germaine de Staël, Beethoven, de Humboldts en natuurlijk de founding fathers van Amerika. Op13 juni 1777 kwam het door Lafayette zelf betaalde oorlogsschip Victoire aan bij de kust van South Carolina. Zijn wapens, het kruit en onmetelijke rijkdom waren welkome geschenken. Maar wat moesten de Amerikaanse opstandelingen met die jongen vol esprit, maar zonder kennis van de Engelse taal? In enkele maanden veroverde hij de harten van de Amerikanen, misschien wel juist omdat zo'n uiterst elitaire, aristocratische persoonlijkheid zo’n enorm contrast vormde met de dagelijkse besognes en contacten in Philadelphia. En hij maakte indruk doordat hij oprecht was. Hij maakte alle ontberingen aan het front en in de ijzige winter van Valley Forge mee als trouwe adjudant van George Washington. "Ik ben hier om te leren, niet om lesjes uit te delen," zei hij bescheiden. Washington stuurde de 20-jarige terug naar Parijs om als influencer ook Franse harten én beurzen te laten kloppen voor vrijheid en democratie. Ook daarin bleek hij een succès fou. Terug aan de zijde van zijn idool Washington commandeerde Lafayette de troepen en speelde een hoofdrol bij de definitieve overwinning op de Britten bij Yorktown in 1781. In Parijs werd hij bejubeld. Hij onderhandelde mee aan de vrede waarmee koning George III zijn Amerikaanse imperium moest vrijlaten. Terug in het vrije Amerika trok hij door alle nieuwe 13 staten, als een popster gefêteerd. Geen wonder dat hij terug in Frankrijk een leidende aanjager werd van een verlicht koninklijk bewind en meer burgerlijke vrijheden. De ochtend na de bestorming van de Bastille werd hij benoemd tot commandant van de Nationale Garde en moest rust en orde en een correct functioneerde overheid garanderen. Hij schreef wereldgeschiedenis. Uit zijn pen kwam de Déclaration des Droits de l'Homme et du Citoyen – de Verklaring van de rechten van de mens en de burger - het fundament voor de formulering van mensenrechten sindsdien. Zijn coauteur was vriend voor het leven Thomas Jefferson. De radicalisering en uiteindelijk 'la Terreur' van de Revolutie hadden voor Lafayette's familie vreselijke gevolgen. Hij poogde te vluchten naar Amerika, maar werd opgepakt en zat jaren vast als gijzelaar in een Habsburgs kasteel in Slowakije. Napoleon kocht hem vrij, maar dat betekende allerminst dat hij voor zijn steeds dictatorialer wordende bewind. Lafayettte was de rest van zijn leven een principieel, vurig tegenstander van autoritair bewind, ook van de niet al te democratische koningen na l'Empereur. Het scheelde overigens maar weinig of hij was in 1830 zelf staatshoofd geworden. Amerika was hem nimmer vergeten. Ter viering van 50 jaar onafhankelijkheid, nu 200 jaar geleden, maakte hij een tournee langs alle 24 staten van toen. Het werd een triomf, met zijn verjaardagsfeest op het Witte Huis. Hij sprak als icoon van de vrijheid het Congres toe. En hij bezocht nog weer eens zijn vriend Jefferson, toen 81 jaar oud. Bij zijn dood in 1834 werd nationale rouw afgekondigd in heel de Verenigde Staten. President John Quincy Adams zei in zijn grafrede: “Lafayette staat hoog op de lijst van de pure en onzelfzuchtige weldoeners van de mensheid.” *** Verder kijken Filmtrailer Lafayette (1961) Tekenfilm: Lafayette, de Franse tiener die Amerika maakte Deel 1 Deel 2 Guns and Ships - Hamilton (Original Cast 2016 - Live) *** Verder luisteren 281 - Fourth of July: Amerika reisgids voor politieke junkies 382 - 250 jaar Verenigde Staten: de Boston Tea Party 519 - Thomas Jefferson, de revolutionaire schrijver van de Onafhankelijkheidsverklaring 459 – Rolmodel George Washington 397 - Benjamin Franklin, zijner majesteits meest loyale rebel 190 - Napoleon, 200 jaar na zijn dood: zijn betekenis voor Nederland en Europa 580 - Lenteboekenspecial met Germaine de Staël 57 - PG Kroeger over Alexis de Tocqueville 513 – Tanks rollen door Washington DC, 250 jaar US Army 570 - 250 jaar VS: leiderschap in het Amerikaanse Huis van Afgevaardigden 494 - Trumps aanval op de geschiedenis en de geest van Amerika 473 - 2025. 200 jaar John Quincy Adams president 475 – Trumps rolmodel Andrew Jackson 520 - De radicaaldemocratische erfenis van Pieter Vreede *** Tijdlijn 00:00:00 – Deel 1 00:26:28 – Deel 2 00:53:30 – Jean-Marc van Tol + Deel 3 01:13:35 – EindeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Sunday Jim Glennon, who served as a Fianna Fáil TD in the Dublin North constituency from 2002 to 2007, confirmed that he had offered a character reference for convicted sex offender Daniel Ramamoorthy. In a statement, Edelman Ireland announced that Jim Glennon's tenure as non-executive chairman had ended before they were aware he wrote the character reference. The PR firm told the Irish Independent that his tenure ended in March, but an external announcement had not been made to the media. This was, “in line with our protocol, and it had been communicated to relevant contacts internally,” Edelman Ireland said in response to queries. On the question of who had been notified internally and when, the company said it would not be commenting further. Today on this Indo Daily Extra, Kevin Doyle is joined by Irish Independent Special Correspondent Catherine Fegan, to discuss the fallout from the revelations, and look at her pursuit for answers to the controversy as it unfolded.

Each year, organizations from around the world demonstrate how advanced analytics and operations research are solving real problems at massive scale – from retail and logistics to healthcare systems, public services, and the complex networks that keep our world moving. Joining me today are members of the team from India's Department of Food and Public Distribution (DFPD), working in partnership with the United Nations World Food Programme in India and the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. Together, they developed Anna Chakra, an operations research–based decision support system designed to strengthen India's Public Distribution System by optimizing the logistics that move food across the country. Today we'll hear how this ambitious project came together – and how operations research is helping transform food distribution at national scale.

Each year, organizations from around the world demonstrate how advanced analytics and operations research are solving real problems at massive scale – and are recognized and celebrated by the INFORMS community with the Franz Edelman Award competition. Joining me today are members of the team from NVIDIA, a global leader in accelerated computing and artificial intelligence. As companies grow and their products evolve, the demand–supply networks that support them often become incredibly complex. To stay ahead of this complexity and remain responsive in fast-moving markets, organizations need smarter and more adaptive supply chain management systems. To tackle this challenge, NVIDIA developed an AI-powered planning platform designed to maintain stability, responsiveness, and agility across their global supply chain. The platform brings together a full stack of advanced technologies, all working together to support intelligent supply chain planning at scale. Today, we'll hear more about how this powerful combination of AI and optimization is transforming supply chain decision-making.

“Millions of people have gone out and said, ‘Stop, don't do that.' And that is a wonderful thing.” — Peter EdelmanWe are in Washington DC this week, in search of America's heart. And there may be no better guide than Peter Edelman — one of the few remaining members of the Bobby Kennedy braintrust. Edelman was a close Kennedy aide from just after JFK's assassination through the 1968 presidential campaign. He watched Bobby find himself after his brother's death — grow from a man defined by serving JFK into the last progressive populist able to unite Black and white working-class Americans.Edelman's personal and political stories are inseparable from Bobby. In Mississippi, on the 1967 senatorial trip where Kennedy saw firsthand what he called the “third world” poverty in the Delta, Edelman met Marian Wright — the civil rights lawyer who would become his wife. They married a month after Bobby's assassination, only the third interracial couple ever to marry in Virginia.“Let's do something good,” Marian and Peter said to each other when they decided to get married.Everything Edelman did afterward was connected with Kennedy's vision of ending poverty in America. Especially when he worked in the first Clinton administration. But when Clinton converted federal poverty aid into block grants and the number of Americans receiving help dropped from seventeen to three million, Edelman very publicly resigned. Clinton needlessly and cruelly threw low-income people overboard, Edelman told me.Has Edelman given up on Donald Trump's America? No. Millions of citizens, especially in his native Minnesota, are speaking out. “Stop, don't do that,” is his RFK-inspired mantra. Proof, Peter Edelman believes, that the American heart is still beating. Five Takeaways•       Bobby Kennedy Was the Most Important Person in His Life: Edelman was Kennedy's principal aide from just after JFK's assassination through the 1968 presidential campaign. He travelled with him every day across America. He watched Bobby find himself after his brother's death — grow from a man defined by serving Jack into the last progressive populist who could unite Black and white working-class Americans.•       He Met Marian Wright in Mississippi: Bobby Kennedy found a profoundly malnourished child in Cleveland, Mississippi. He also found Marian Wright — already one of the most remarkable civil rights lawyers in the country. Edelman and Wright married one month after Bobby's assassination. They were the third interracial couple to marry in Virginia. “Let's do something good,” they said to each other after the killing.•       Trump's Picture Hangs on the Building Bobby Once Ran: The Department of Justice building in Washington is now named after Robert F. Kennedy. On it hangs a large picture of Donald Trump — almost dictatorial in feel. Edelman says Bobby would call him out, just as the millions of Americans speaking out are doing now.•       He Broke with Clinton Over Poverty: Edelman and his wife had known the Clintons for years — Bill and Hillary stayed at their house. But when Clinton converted federal poverty aid into block grants, the number of Americans receiving help dropped from seventeen million to three million. Edelman resigned. He threw low-income people overboard, Edelman says. He didn't have to.•       Stop, Don't Do That: Millions of Americans are speaking out against the current administration. That, Edelman says, is a wonderful thing. It's the clearest articulation right now of what it means to be an American. Stop, don't do that. Bobby Kennedy would have said exactly the same thing. About the GuestPeter Edelman is a professor at Georgetown University Law Center. He served as principal aide to Robert F. Kennedy and in the Clinton administration. He is the author of So Rich, So Poor: Why It's So Hard to End Poverty in America. He is married to Marian Wright Edelman, founder of the Children's Defense Fund.References:•       So Rich, So Poor by Peter Edelman — his book on poverty in America.•       Episode 2849: How Stories Can Save Us — Colum McCann on empathy and storytelling. Kennedy's method was the original version.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

Each year, organizations from around the world compete in the INFORMS Franz Edelman Award competition, demonstrating how advanced analytics and O.R. are solving real problems at massive scale. In this episode, members of the team from Chewy, the largest online pet retailer and pharmacy in the United States, share how they tackled a challenge that sounds simple on the surface but becomes incredibly complex at scale: replenishment. Using a science-driven suite of models, supported by a custom engineering platform and continuous analytics monitoring, the team transformed how Chewy manages purchase orders, safety stock, and inventory placement – all while accounting for unreliable data, supply uncertainty, and vendor constraints. The result? Improved inventory placement, fewer split shipments, shorter shipping distances, and meaningful financial impact in a thin-margin industry.

Kirsty Graham, CEO of Edelman U.S., draws on three decades in global policy and communications to unpack the findings of the Edelman Trust Barometer and why leaders today must act as “trust brokers.” In an age when AI can mimic us, she argues, leaders must become better at being human. She reflects on why workplaces have become “islands of civility” and how corporate leaders can rebuild trust at scale. Kirsty previously spent 16 years in New Zealand's Foreign Service and a decade in senior global roles at Pfizer. Since joining Edelman in 2020, she has held multiple leadership positions and now serves on the firm's Global Executive Leadership Team.Tags: janice, ellig, podcast, kirsty, graham, leaders, executive, impact, society, business, ceo

Each year, finalists in the Franz Edelman Award Competition demonstrate how advanced analytics and operations research are solving real problems at massive scale – from the products we buy and the packages we receive to the healthcare we rely on and the policies that shape our communities. Joining me today are members of the team from ECCO, the globally recognized footwear brand known for its vertically integrated supply chain and retail operations. Managing inventory across hundreds of retail locations around the world is a massive logistical challenge. Historically, store replenishment decisions were made manually, which often led to inconsistent ordering, operational inefficiencies, and missed opportunities to optimize inventory placement. To address this, ECCO's data & AI team developed a powerful analytics system that uses large-scale stochastic mixed-integer programming to automate store replenishment decisions across their global retail network.
