You asked...we answered!In this first-ever “Ask Us Anything” episode, producer Melissa Martin flips the script and poses your biggest questions to host Matt Kirchner. The result is a candid, wide-ranging conversation that covers career decisions, workforce challenges, and the future of artificial intelligence.From elementary classrooms to C-suite hiring struggles to the role of AI in disrupting education, this episode explores the most pressing questions in STEM and technical education today. Matt and Melissa share real-world stories, practical advice, and unfiltered takes that every educator, employer, and student will find valuable.Listen to learn:Why career interests start forming as early as elementary school, and what kind of exposure matters mostHow young people can sort through post-secondary options without feeling trapped by a single choiceThe interview strategies that stand out to CEOs after thousands of candidate meetingsWhat manufacturers are getting right (and wrong) in the race to attract new talentHow AI is reshaping education, and why human relationships matter more than ever in the age of disruption3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Early exposure changes student trajectories. Students begin shaping career perceptions as early as elementary school; use age-appropriate experiences to put advanced manufacturing and STEM on the radar. Matt traces his own path back to a fifth-grade plant tour - watching a vibratory deburring bowl - showing how simple, vivid experiences stick for years. 2. Talent pipelines are a long game. Employers that show up consistently, serve on advisory boards, visit classes often, bring students on site, even offer “pizza Tuesdays”, win attention and hires. Culture and first impressions matter on tours: clean, organized facilities and engaged employees signal a place students want to join, now and later. 3. AI elevates personalization and demands new pedagogy. Shift essay-style tasks toward live, in-class dialogue and reflection to reduce easy generative-AI shortcuts and increase real learning. Use data-informed, asynchronous pathways so learners who need time can take it, and those ready to advance aren't held back.Submit your own question for a future edition of Ask Us Anything on our website! https://techedpodcast.com/askusanything/We want to hear from you!

A leading pensions expert is warning that the Government's auto-enrolment campaign for pensions - due to begin on January 1st - does not equip businesses with the practical information employers need to choose between auto-enrolment and existing pension options available. Feargal McKenna, co-founder of Pensions Awareness Week, which takes place from September 29th to October 3rd, and Head of Corporate at Moneycube.ie, was speaking to over 100 businesses at a Breakfast Briefing for Wicklow's business community this morning, which was also addressed by Tánaiste Simon Harris. The free event, at The GRID in Greystones, was organised by Wicklow's business networking group, East Wicklow Business Network (WicklowBusiness.ie) and the Local Enterprise Office Wicklow. Feargal McKenna unveiled a new Auto-Enrolment Calculator developed by Moneycube.ie specifically for employers and hosted on the Pensions Awareness Week website - www.pensionsawarenessweek.ie. The calculator - which is free to use - is designed to give Irish employers instant clarity about the true cost of auto-enrolment on their payroll and the impact on employees' take-home pay. It also allows employers to compare these costs with alternative pension arrangements, so they can make informed decisions before the scheme begins. Unlike most existing auto-enrolment calculators, which focus only on employees, Moneycube.ie's tool is built for employers, who ultimately decide whether to default into auto-enrolment or take action to establish an alternative scheme. The calculator is easy to use, with just six steps providing business owners, HR managers or finance teams with the information they need to decide whether to prepare their organisations for auto-enrolment or explore alternative options. Employers enter a few simple details about their workforce - such as employee numbers, salary levels, and contribution rates. The calculator instantly shows the total payroll cost under auto-enrolment, how much employees' net pay will fall, and the potential advantages of alternative options. Feargal McKenna, Head of Corporate at Moneycube.ie, says: "If auto-enrolment starts on January 1st, about 800,000 employees will see a reduction in net take-home pay, but employers still have time to choose a structure that can avoid that and possibly deliver better outcomes. "Our employers' calculator gives business owners, HR and finance teams instant, side-by-side numbers: the payroll cost under auto-enrolment over a 10-year period and how that compares with a well-designed occupational pension. Defaulting into auto-enrolment can disadvantage higher-rate taxpayers and limit retirement choices. The Government has released information about their Auto-Enrolment scheme, but it has fallen short in providing a straightforward tool to help people understand the options. Moneycube.ie's calculator fills that gap while supporting the goal of getting Ireland saving for retirement - something that is core to the reason we set up Pensions Awareness Week. "We built this calculator because employers need an instant picture from two, often opposing, perspectives: the finance team, focused on controlling costs, and HR, focused on benefits, recruitment and retention. Government may have cried wolf in the past, but businesses no longer have the luxury of waiting. If pension contributions aren't flowing through payroll by December, the gift under the tree this year - whether you asked for it or not - will be auto-enrolment… and it doesn't come with batteries."

This podcast features my guest, Julianne Miles, co-founder of Career Returners, discussing the challenges and opportunities for professionals returning to work after a career break. Miles, a chartered psychologist and author, shares insights on rebuilding confidence, redefining personal narratives, and navigating the modern workplace. The discussion covers strategies for both returners and employers, emphasizing the value of diverse perspectives in the workforce. Key points: 1. Confidence rebuilding involves reconnecting with one's professional identity and taking action rather than just thinking. 2. Employers should recognize the unique skills and experiences returners bring, and provide support structures to ensure their successful integration into the workplace.

In this episode of our Cross-Border Catch-Up podcast series, Diana Nehro (shareholder, New York/Boston), who is the chair of the Cross-Border Practice Group, and Kate Thompson (associate, New York/Boston) discuss the nuances of global hiring, focusing on the differences between an employer of record (EOR) and an agent of record (AOR). The speakers evaluate the pros and cons of each model, highlight compliance risks, and provide practical tips for employers to effectively and compliantly build their international teams.

Most physicians dream of independence but dread the isolation and heavy lift of running a solo practice. What if there were a way to share infrastructure, lighten the load, and still maintain your autonomy? In this episode, Dr. Disha Spath sits down with special interviewer Dr. Dan Sooriabalan and guest Dr. Natalie Gentile to explore how managed services organizations (MSOs) can strengthen direct primary care practices. From sharing cross-coverage to negotiating employer contracts, she shares how she and her partner built a collaborative model that supports physicians while keeping patient care personal.  This conversation is packed with lessons on leadership, partnership, and building something bigger than yourself! Key Topics Covered: 1. The Hidden Price of 401K Breaking down what a managed services organization is and why it matters for direct primary care. 2. From Vaccine Clinics to Direct Primary Care Collaboration How grassroots community efforts during the pandemic sparked the creation of Pittsburgh's first DPC-focused MSO. 3. Shared Pain Points, Shared Solutions Cross-coverage, marketing, vaccine acquisition, mentorship—how an MSO makes solo practice less lonely. 4. The Business Side of Medicine Legal guardrails, employer contracts, and the financial realities of keeping physician ownership at the center. 5. Scaling Without Selling Out Why Natalie and her co-founder built their MSO without private equity—and how they're keeping it mission-driven. 6. Not a One-Size-Fits All Why MSOs aren't one-size-fits-all and what to consider before starting one in your own region. Listener Takeaways: MSOs (Managed Services Organizations) give DPC doctors shared infrastructure—like marketing, cross-coverage, and legal support—without sacrificing independence. Collaboration often starts with small, local initiatives (like community vaccine clinics) before scaling into sustainable models. Legal and financial guardrails are essential to keep physicians—not private equity—at the center of ownership. Quarterly case reviews, mentorship, and camaraderie help prevent isolation and burnout in solo practice.

This week, we examine new artificial intelligence (AI) regulations in California impacting employers.

Finding a job in today's economy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone. With interest rates remaining high and the job market slowing, this is a strategic moment to refresh your job search. By combining diligence, adaptability, and prayerful preparation, you can approach this season with confidence rooted in God's wisdom.Proverbs 27:12 reminds us: “The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.” Preparation matters—not just in life but in your job search. With the right approach, you can steward your time, skills, and relationships wisely while trusting God to guide your steps.A great place to start is your resume. Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) filter applications before a human ever reviews them, so tailoring your resume to each job description is essential. Use specific keywords, highlight measurable results, and connect your experience directly to the role. Think of it as stewardship—presenting your God-given abilities thoughtfully and effectively.Building Relationships That Open DoorsEven in a digital age, networking is still king. Studies show up to 85% of jobs are filled through referrals, and many roles are never posted publicly. Reconnect with colleagues, reach out to mentors, and don't overlook your church community. Genuine, relational conversations—built on curiosity rather than transaction—often lead to opportunities you couldn't find otherwise.Employers are also seeking adaptable learners. Developing skills in areas like AI, digital communication, or project management shows you're willing to grow. Affordable platforms like Coursera, edX, and Google Career Certificates make it easy to build new skills that employers value.Standing Out in a Digital WorldYour online presence is often the first impression an employer has. More than 70% of hiring managers review social media profiles, and nearly half say what they find influences their decision. Clean up questionable content, complete your LinkedIn profile, and stay active with thoughtful updates. Treat it as your digital business card—when you remain visible, opportunities are more likely to find you.Interviews have also shifted online. Prepare your space, dress professionally, and look into the camera to build connection. Small details—like lighting, posture, and a thank-you note afterward—leave a lasting impact.Trusting God in the ProcessA slowing job market can stir up fear, but Philippians 4:6–7 offers comfort: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”Preparation and diligence matter, but so do prayer and trust. God orders your steps. Every interview, every connection, and every opportunity is part of His greater story for your life. Search faithfully, not fearfully, knowing He is your ultimate provider.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:What is the statute of limitations for a collection agency to pursue a debt I still owe?I'm thinking about applying for Social Security Disability because of a physical condition from my recent job.

Veronique de Rugy critiques US tax "carveouts," identifying them as inefficient special interest deductions that often fail to incentivize desired behaviors, citing employer health insurance and mortgage interest deductions. While a flat tax would streamline the system and boost economic growth by focusing on consumption, de Rugy emphasizes that no tax system alone can resolve the severe US debt crisis; crucial reforms to Social Security and Medicare are indispensable. 1870 SIEGE OF PARIS

In this episode, I connect with Peter Nouwen from 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands for a discussion about the productivity benefits of having healthy, active employees and the curious, nonsensical policy practices of many employers that incentivize driving a car rather than taking transit, walking, or cycling to work. We launch into the discussion by channeling Jason Slaughter's Not Just Bikes Gym of Life video and give a hat tip to Mark Wagenbuur with the BicycleDutch ChannelHelpful Links (note that some may include affiliate links to help me support the channel):

Mike Armstrong and Paul Lane are joined by CNBC's Michael Santoli to recap what we saw in terms of inflation data this week and why we are likely to see a 25 bps interest cut at next week's Fed meeting, as opposed to 50 bps. Plus, with the cost of healthcare continuing to climb, should employers be seeing more blame as they pass along some of the impact to their employees through payroll deductions? Barron's Paul LaMonica also hopped on to speak with the guys about Oracle's massive stock rally this week.

Attorney Shawn Packer, a principal at JPH Law Firm, says the unionization of ag workers is one of the bigger problems impacting farmers in recent years.

As religious rights in the workplace gain new attention, a recent OPM memo broadening religious accommodations for federal employees could impact employers everywhere—at home and in the office. Essential Impacts for Employers: The federal memo expands religious accommodations, including remote work. The Supreme Court's 2023 Groff v. DeJoy ruling raised the “undue hardship” standard, making it more difficult for employers to deny religious accommodation requests. Accommodation requests are increasing, intersecting with remote work. These developments create new compliance challenges and potential legal risks for employers in the public and private sectors. Epstein Becker Green attorney Nancy Gunzenhauser Popper explains how to evaluate accommodation requests under the heightened standard and what the new federal memo could mean for your organization.

In this Tax Tuesday episode, Anderson Advisors' Barley Bowler, CPA, and Eliot Thomas, Esq., tackle ten listener questions covering essential tax strategies for business owners and real estate investors. They break down the enhanced contribution limits for solo 401(k)s, including the new employer Roth contributions and age-based catch-up provisions. The attorneys explain proper loan structures between shareholders and corporations, emphasizing documentation requirements and interest rate compliance. They cover installment payment reporting for private money loans, clarify the Augusta Rule (280A) for tax-free rental income from home meetings, and distinguish between deductible business expenses versus personal costs. Investment structuring strategies for AI and energy stocks are explored, along with C-corporation real estate ownership considerations. The episode concludes with discussions on the expanded SALT deduction limits, pass-through entity tax workarounds for high-tax states, and the new research and development tax benefits under recent legislation. Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: "What is the maximum that can be contributed to a solo 401k Roth as the employee and employer of my own business, what do I need to do to handle payroll for myself?" - Employee limits: $23,500 (under 50), $31,000 (50-59), $34,750 (60-63). Employer: 25% of compensation. Use professional payroll services. "I want to loan cash for my business to myself, since my spouse and I have regular W2 jobs that push our incomes into high, the highest tax brackets. Other than loaning money to myself to pay for rental property. Are there any other uses for those loan funds? What are the issues on the backend for repayment rights?" - Must have written documentation, regular payments, and applicable federal rate interest (4.22% for 2025). "I'm receiving installment payments on a private money loan from my borrower. Are these payments listed as income, even though the entire principal balance and interest haven't been paid yet? How do you show this on a tax return?" - Interest portion is taxable income as received. Principal repayment is not taxable. Report on Schedule B. "I have a C Corp and two LLCs. Can you clarify the tax allowance on Augusta meetings, please? Also known as 280A. I believe I was informed that I can deduct up to $1000 per month on these monthly meetings when held, is this still the case for 2024 and 2025?" - Fourteen days maximum per year regardless of entity count. Get three local quotes for reasonable rates. "Are the paid fees for business essentials and the Living Trust deductible as startup costs or operating costs?" - Business essentials are deductible (startup vs operating depends on timing). Living trust is personal expense, not deductible. “What strategies should I set to invest in AI or energy stocks?" - Wyoming LLC for passive investing. Trading partnership with C-corp for active trading and tax benefits. "A C corporation owns a disregarded LLC, which in turn owns real estate. The real estate is sold for capital gains that is incurred by the C Corp. Is this the best way to be structured?" - Never put appreciable real estate in C-corp unless flipping. For buy-and-hold, use Wyoming holding company structure. "Does the SALT (state and local tax) deduction of $40,000 apply to a joint tax return?" - Yes, $40,000 limit applies to joint returns. Phases out at $500,000 AGI but maintains $10,000 floor. "How does the new PTET (pass through entity tax) SALT (state and local tax) deduction work around policy work for high tax states like California? Are certain entities included like SSTBs (specialized service trader businesses)?" - Pass-through entities can pay state tax for federal deduction. Complex structures and publicly traded partnerships excluded.

What if the research indicated there was an inexpensive breathing exercise device that, if utilized about 5 minutes/day, could significantly reduce blood pressure and improve exercise performance? Resisted breathing – or what the science refers to as “inspiratory muscle strength training” – or IMST - isn't new. I remember reading about it, but at the time it appeared to be all fluff as our intercostal breathing muscles were almost never utilized at capacity, so who cares if we strengthen them? Fast forward a decade or so and it turns out we might all care. Whether you or a loved one has high blood pressure and would like to access options beyond just medications, or you're a runner, triathlete, swimmer or cyclist looking to optimize your performance – IMST may be worth a closer look. Today we'll take that closer look with Dr. Daniel Craighead, who's groundbreaking work in this area is both fascinating and eye-opening. Dr. Craighead is a leading exercise physiologist and cardiovascular health researcher at the University of Minnesota, where he focuses on innovative, time-efficient interventions to combat age-related declines in cardiovascular and metabolic health. His research on high-resistance inspiratory muscle strength training has shown that just five minutes a day of targeted breathing exercise can significantly lower blood pressure, enhance vascular function, and improve exercise tolerance — all without traditional aerobic training. Today, he joins The Coaching Lab to unpack how this simple, science-backed technique is reshaping approaches to both peak performance and everyday health.The Powerbreathe unit Dr. Cooper has been using available here.You can stay up to date on Dr. Craighead's latest research via his lab website and if you'd like to tune into another interview he provided for NPR, it is available here.Info re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/ Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.
