    Professor Game Podcast | Rob Alvarez Bucholska chats with gamification gurus, experts and practitioners about education

    Get the free Core Drives in the Wild guide, behavioral design applied to real engagement programs: professorgame.com/WildCD Episode Summary Rob breaks down behavioral debt: the borrowed motivation hiding inside every legacy points, discount, or bonus program, showing why cutting an engagement program off cold is the fastest way to blow it up. He walks through JCPenney's collapse under Ron Johnson, a Fortune 500 rewards program employees now budget around like income, and how LATAM Airlines and Caixa Econômica Federal restructured their own behavioral debt using Octalysis Core Drives instead of switching it off. Listeners learn how to read their program's real balance sheet and start servicing behavioral debt without triggering a JCPenney-style default. About the Host Rob Alvarez is Head of Engagement Strategy, Europe at The Octalysis Group (TOG), a leading gamification and behavioral design consultancy. A globally recognized gamification strategist and TEDx speaker, he founded and hosts Professor Game, the #1 gamification podcast, and has interviewed hundreds of global experts. He designs evidence-based engagement systems that drive motivation, loyalty, and results, and teaches LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and gamification at top institutions including IE Business School, EFMD, and EBS University across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Key Takeaways JCPenney's Ron Johnson scrapped every discount and coupon overnight, replacing them with everyday low pricing; sales fell 25%, roughly $4.3 billion, and he was gone within two years. Ron Johnson later admitted only 1% of JCPenney's sales happened without a discount, meaning 99% of purchases depended on coupons the company had just eliminated. LATAM Airlines kept its miles intact but rebuilt the experience around Core Drive 7 (Unpredictability & Curiosity) and Core Drive 3 (Empowerment of Creativity & Feedback), driving a 153% increase in credit card acquisitions. Caixa Econômica Federal's incentive program had drifted to roughly 10% participation before a rebuild around collective purpose pushed it to 90%, adding $1.06 billion in revenue. Points tied to reaching performance targets ran on Core Drive 4 (Ownership & Possession) and Core Drive 8 (Loss & Avoidance), turning a reward employees didn't need into part of their household income.

    Social media has transformed the way we connect, share, and see the world. For Christian singles, it can be both a blessing and a subtle trap. One of the most common struggles is comparison — measuring your life, your relationships, your appearance, or your spiritual progress against the carefully curated highlight reels of others. Engagement announcements, wedding photos, vacation posts, and “perfect” couple moments can quietly erode joy and leave you feeling behind, inadequate, or forgotten by God.

    Summary: In this episode, I share 13 of my favorite "sassy" responses to anxiety that can help you stop getting pulled into intrusive thoughts, rumination, and compulsive behaviors. When anxiety shows up with a frightening thought or a big "what if," it's so easy to treat it like it's urgent or important. Instead, I introduce a series of playful but powerful non-engagement responses that help you acknowledge the thought without getting caught up in it.

    For Christians who desire marriage, a healthy relationship can move from dating to engagement within a year through intentional discernment. Begin with three months of exclusive dating focused solely on getting to know one another without making marriage commitments. If the relationship shows clear potential, continue with six weeks to three months of premarital counseling with a trusted pastor or counselor to evaluate biblical, emotional, and practical compatibility. At the conclusion of counseling, make a mutual decision about whether to pursue marriage. Once both people have agreed, set a wedding date, and then the proposal can serve as a joyful celebration of a decision that has already been made together—not as the moment the decision is first introduced. Rather than dating indefinitely, aim to reach clarity within a year by either ending the relationship or moving toward marriage with a planned wedding date. __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________

    Watt willse denn in Duisburg? – Angucken! Ich lade Euch ein nach Duisburg und zu meinen ersten flüchtigen Erfahrungen in einer Stadt, von der vermutlich viele sagen: Duisburg. Warum fährt er denn da hin? Wahrheitsgemäße Antwort: Ich war dort zu einer Preisverleihung. (man höre den Podcast vom April). Und wenn man schon mal dort ist, kann man sich auch umgucken. Schlaglichter Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Damit ist aber auch klar: Dieser Podcast ist ein Schlaglicht. Kenner von Duisburg und dem Pott bin ich nicht. Trotzdem gibt es eine Menge zu erzählen. Facts Duisburg-Ruhrort Museumshafen – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Duisburg. 500 Tausend Einwohner. Mündung der Ruhr in den Rhein. Weltgrößter Binnenhafen und MSV Duisburg. Currywurst und Pommes Schranke. Kohle und Ruhrgebiet. Erz und Koks. Eisen und Stahl. Thyssen und Haniel. Hütten und Landschaftspark. Schimmi und Thanner. Die Aufzählung könnte man noch ziemlich lange fortsetzen. Eindruck 1: City Tour & Industriekultur Seid bei einer City-Tour dabei. Glaubt man erst mal nicht, aber die Geschichte Duisburgs geht bis ins Jahr 883 zurück. Und lange davor waren hier auch die Römer auf Stippvisite. Viel ist davon nicht übrig. Allenfalls kleine Stadtmauerabschnitte aus dem Mittelalter existieren noch. – Die wirklich interessante Geschichte findet ohnehin in der jüngeren Geschichte statt. Es ist die Zeit der Industrialisierung, der Hochzeiten des Kohlenpotts, der Eisen- und Stahlproduktion, der wirtschaftliche Niedergang in den 1980er Jahren und der Wandel der Region. Industriekultur – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Das Schlagwort seit dieser Zeit: Industriekultur. Es war etwas Neues, dass man sich nach dem kulturellen Schutz für Schlösser, Burgen und Gärten auch Schutz für Industriebauwerke geben sollte und seitdem gibt. Kunst und neue Innenstadt: Marcatorhalle und das Kunstwerk “5 Arcx 5” – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Prinz-Heinrich Platz und City Palais – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Theater Duisburg – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Teil der Stadtführung ist dabei nicht nur die neue Innenstadt Duisburgs rund um den Prinz Heinrich Platz, sondern auch der Gang zum Innenhafen der Stadt. Einst geschäftiger zusätzlicher Hafen, nahe am Stadtzentrum. Jetzt Fläche für Dienstleistung, für Kultur, Museen, einen Stadtpark und inzwischen auch neuer Wohnraum. Eindruck 2: Der Innenhafen Innenhafen Duisburg zur Dämmerung – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Dass der Innenhafen heute optisch immer noch als Hafen daherkommt, ist vorher festgelegten klaren Regeln zu verdanken und dem Engagement von Museumsleuten der Region. Star des Projekts war und ist der britische Stararchitekt Norman Foster und seine für die bereits in den 1980er Jahren entwickelten Ideen, die zu dieser Zeit geradezu revolutionär waren. Duisburgr Innenhafen mit Museen und “Kneipenmeile” – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Die Umsetzung hat prima geklappt. In alten Speichern ist wieder Leben eingekehrt. Das „Museum Küppersmühle für moderne Kunst“ sorgt qualitativ für Furore. Außerdem gibt es das Kultur- und Stadthistorische Zentrum, ein Museumsgarten, das Ludwigforum und natürlich der Altstadtpark, mit großem Spielplatz. und selbst die selbstgegebene Regel in Sachen Wohnungsbau wurde erfolgreich umgesetzt. Eindruck 3: Duisburgs Sozialstruktur und „Schimmi“ Schimanski: Auch heute noch allgegenwärtig – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Ja, sagt City Guide Franz-Josef Tolle, bei allem Fortschritt habe es damals auch gehörige Kritik gegeben. Nicht am Bauen, aber am sozialen Konzept der Umsetzung zum Beispiel im Wohnungsbau. Viele Wohnungen am Innenhafen seien zu teuer gewesen. Der Zugang von Wohnungsgesellschaften zum Bau von Sozialwohnungen sei ausgeblieben. Dieser Ausbau ist heute noch dringlicher, als vor 30 Jahren. Denn: Probleme mit der Sozialstruktur hat Duisburg jede Menge. Geringe Gehälter, hohe Arbeitslosigkeit, hohe Mietkosten und wachsender Anteil von Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund machen das Leben schwieriger. Eine Folge: Wachsende Kriminalität. Die Infrastruktur der Stadt kommt da nicht mehr nach. Der Duisburg-Tatort Duisburg gehörte noch nie zu den angeblich feinen Adressen der Republik und die Menschen waren schon immer, einfach, rau und herzlich. Nicht von ungefähr entstanden die Tatort Kommissare Christian Thanner und Horst Schimanski, alias Eberhard Feik und Götz George. Thanner und Schimanski ermittelten in der ARD zwischen 1981 und 1991. Schaut man zurück, wurde der WDR wegen dieser Idee erst einmal angefeindet. Die Duisburger müssen Schimmi aber innerhalb des Jahrzehnts sehr lieb gewonnen haben. Noch heute ist die Serie schlicht und einfach Kult. Schimanski “Denkmal” in Ruhrort – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Eindruck 4: Menschennähe und Currywurst Heute kann man ungestraft sagen, dass Schimmi nicht nur den Tatort, sondern auch Duisburg verändert hat. Es war die Zeit mitten im Wandel der Region. Filmaufnahmen fanden mitten in sozialen Brennpunkten oder auch im Hafengebiet von Duisburg-Ruhrort statt. Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Das ist jetzt 35 Jahre her, doch Schimmi bleibt allgegenwärtig, mit eigenem Straßenschild in der „Horst Schimanski Gasse“ im alten Ruhrort. Allgegenwärtig auch die Currywurst. Die Einschätzung kann man natürlich nur einem „UR-Duisburger“ überlassen. Gehse inne Stadt… – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Currywurst-Fachsimpelei – Foto: Marina Noble Mitten in Ruhrort, dicht am Wasser liegt die Hafenkneipe „Zum Hübi“. Drinnen wartet „lecker Currywurst“ und vor der Tür, in der Horst Schimanski-Gasse, steht das Schimmi-Denkmal. (Unter uns: Es ist ziemlich klein und auch nicht wirklich gut getroffen) Im Ort, hinter der Dammstraße, findet man weitere Devotionalien, wie ein Schimanski-Graffiti und den Hinweis auf einige Stellen (Der Anker), an denen in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft des Hafenbeckens gedreht wurde. Eindruck 5: Hütte und Landschaftspark  Duisburg ist Hafenstadt und Hüttenstadt; immer noch. Einige Stahlhütten produzieren nach wie vor. Unter anderen die „August Thyssen Hütte“, das größte Hüttenwerk Europas. Früher Frühling im Landschaftspark-Nord – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Das Rohmaterial für die Stahlproduktion ist Eisen. Es kam bis vor einigen Jahren aus der Eisenhütte im Stadtteil Meiderich. Dort findet man heute die zweitgrößte Attraktion im Pott, den Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord. Nur die Essener „Zeche Zollverein“ hat mehr Besucher. Viel Grün und viel Industriekultur, das sind die Zutaten für den Landschaftspark. Jährlich kommen rund 1,2 Millionen Besucher. Genau lässt sich das nicht sagen, denn hier gibt es weder Eintrittspreise noch Öffnungszeiten. 24/7 kostenfrei geöffnet. Hochofen 5 Führungen gibt es. Die kosten Geld, aber das sind Euros, die sich lohnen. Ich könnte zwar behaupten, dass ich vor der Tour genau in die Eisenproduktion eingeweiht war, müsste dafür aber ziemlich hemmungslos lügen. Alles, was ich jetzt weiß, habe ich der sachkundigen wie humorigen Manuela Sass zu verdanken. Weiß Bescheid: Manuela Sass – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Das müsst Ihr Euch unbedingt im Original anhören. Im Podcast bekommt Ihr gleichzeitig Infos und ein „Stücksken“ Ruhrpott-Sprache und Humor. Danach seid Ihr nicht nur schlauer, sondern habt Euch  auch amüsiert. Die Tour ist gewissermaßen Lernen, ohne dass man's merkt. Danach wisst Ihr, wie das funktioniert mit dem Eisen. So wurde bis 1985 produziert.   Eisenhütte: Hochofen 5 – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Abstichstelle am Hochofen 5 – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Das mit dem Landschaftspark dauerte dann noch eine Weile. Es gibt ihn seit 1994 und seit 2000 steht der ehemalige Industriekomplex unter Denkmalschutz. In Sachen Freizeit hat der Landschaftspark wirklich viel zu bieten. Vor allem viel Grün auf der Fläche von 180 Fußballfeldern. Im Sommer gibt's Fackelführungen, Open Air Kino, Konzerte, den Gasometer zum Tauchen, einen Lehr- und Lernbauernhof und jede Menge Freiflächen zum Spielen und Bewegen. Es warten ein Besucherzentrum und natürlich Gastronomie. Nicht zu vergessen, das Programm für die ganz Wagemutigen. Ein anspruchsvoller „Klettergarten“ zwischen den Hochöfen 1 und 2. Klettern mitten in der Industriekultur – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Das waren ein paar Eindrücke aus Duisburg, falls ich über eine Stadt erzählen darf, in der ich gerade mal gut 24 Stunden war. Da gibt's das Vorurteil und dann auch die subjektiven Eindrücke. Komplett ist das nicht. Das Trotzdem-Fazit: War und ist spannend!

    Je suis particulièrement heureuse de vous proposer aujourd'hui un épisode qui m'a bouleversée et qui, je crois, va littéralement vous emporter. Il s'agit d'une discussion avec MALEK BOUKERCHI. Malek fait parti des ultra-marathonniens de l'extrême. Ils sont seulement 700 dans le monde à courir sur des milliers de kilomètres dans les déserts les plus chauds et sur les terres les plus froides. Mais Malek est aussi conteur, anthropologue, philosophe ... et fondateur de l'ONG les 42.C'est un épisode profondément humain ! Il est réalisé avec mon partenaire chéri, l'Université de la Terre, un événement qui se tiendra en mars prochain à l'Unesco.Cette discussion avec Malek résonnera longtemps en moi.D'abord parce que Malek est un poète et que notre discussion porte la marque de cette attention subtile donnée à la beauté des mots. Ensuite, parce que Malek est un philosophe, qui sait faire parler ses exploits sportifs et leur donner une résonnance dans le quotidien de nos vies. Malek témoigne de l'importance du rêve et de la nécessité du travail. Il questionne notre volonté de maitrise et la finalité de notre course effrénée. Il nous appelle à mettre l'émerveillement et les liens au coeur de nos vies. Enfin, parce que Malek est un engagé, qui change des vies. Il a grandi dans les quartiers, entre les tours, avant d'enchaîner les médailles et de voyager au bout du monde... Mais il n'a pas oublié d'où il vient ni les mains qui se sont tendues et qui lui ont permis se réaliser.Aujourd'hui, il met ses compétences et son temps au service des jeunes des quartiers et de la ruralité. Avec son association Les 42, il leur propose d'embarquer dans une aventure extraordinaire qui changera leur vie à jamais : courir un marathon. Pas pour battre le chrono. Pour faire naitre un rêve qu'ils n'auraient pas osé avoir, pour croire en eux, pour comprendre l'importance du travail et de l'entrainement, pour vivre la force du collectif. Et finalement, pour passer la ligne d'arrivée et célébrer leur victoire. Malek a emmené un collectif de jeunes à Athènes en 2023, puis à New York en 2025. Ils étaient encadrés par des patrons d'entreprise qui leur ont ouvert les portes, qui ont cru en eux, et qui, pour certains, ont couru avec eux, illustrant mieux que n'importe quel discours que nous pouvons faire tomber les murs que nous avons battis et en finir avec l'entre-soi.Ecouter cet épisode, c'est faire un plein d'énergie absolument incroyable.  C'est croire à nouveau à la fraternité et en l'avenir !Je vous souhaite une très belle écoute à tous ! Vous allez vous régaler !Et bien sûr, je vous souhaite un été doux et joyeux, illuminé par le bonheur d'être avec celles et ceux que vous aimez.Demain N'attend Pas est un podcast indépendant créé et animé par Delphine Darmon.Toutes les 2 semaines, j'échange avec des personnalités inspirantes pour questionner les récits qui façonnent notre monde, et ouvrir des pistes concrètes de futurs plus désirables.

    “We did a sort of special launch episode with the King, um, who's so knowledgeable, so passionate, you know. I don't know whether he'd just read up about it, but it doesn't feel like it. It feels like it really tapped into something that he wants to talk about and knows how to talk about. Um, so yeah, a dream guest, frankly, in so many ways. Um, and Kate's a great interviewer, and there are another three episodes of that after it, but yeah, it was. When you talk about sonic branding, you know, there aren't many people in the world whose voice everybody recognizes.” – Neil CowlingThis episode is the second half of my conversation with podcast and audio promotions expert Neil Cowling as we discuss the scams and pitfalls of podcast promotion, why podcasting's evolved a more collaborative culture than traditional radio, and what the King of England has for breakfast.As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

Plus, subscribing to the newsletter will let you know when the new podcasts are available, along with other interesting bits of audio-related news.

I would so appreciate that.(12:28) – How Sound Influences Brand IdentityMy conversation with Neil continues as he tells us his process for building an authentic connection between a brand and podcast. “We do try and spend an extended amount of time saying, ‘What is your tone of voice? If you can imagine a celebrity that would be your dream spokesperson, who would that be? What words do you use and not use in your other communication?'” he explains. “And all of that feeds into a general vibe that hopefully when people are listening to a podcast, they'll understand that it's from you.” We discuss podcasting metrics, from clicks and listens to downloads, and the perils of paying for services that promise a quick boost. “Someone goes in and promises they'll have a million downloads or that it will create an instant ROI for your product,” he cautions. “We avoid saying that because we are really talking about it as a long-term brand building exercise.”(00:00) – Podcasting With the KingWe discuss the transition from broadcast radio to podcasting in the 21st century, and why, in Neil's experience, radio's competitive culture hasn't carried over to podcasting. “Radio is a real kind of dog-eat-dog medium,” he says, “partly because there are only so many radio listeners and you're all fighting over the same time slot. Everybody wants to be the biggest breakfast show… whereas in podcasting, there's more of a sense that somebody else's success is not at everybody else's detriment.” He tells us about some of his most memorable podcasting experiences, including his team's surprise interview at Windsor Castle with not only Cate Blanchett but His Majesty, King Charles III. “Hannah had the honor of having asked the King what he had for breakfast,” Neil recalls, “you know, to test the microphone. The answer is nothing, if you're interested. He hasn't eaten breakfast for years.”(27:40) – Building Podcast EngagementAs our conversation comes to a close, Neil shares his thoughts on why radio ads are on the way out and what's replacing them in the podcast market. “Radio ads are rubbish,” he tells us. “Most radio ads are done at the last minute by an ad agency who, again, thinks it's easy. They've spent three months working on the TV, and they'll knock together a radio script and push it out there.” We discuss whether pre-roll or mid-roll ads are most effective at reaching their audience, and the unique outreach that host reads offer podcast sponsors. “Give us your bullet points, give us the things that absolutely have to be in there,” he says. “But also allow a bit of levity and a bit of leeway for those presenters so that they can take what the audience already loves about them and transfer it to your brand.”Episode SummaryBalancing brand consistency with collaborative podcasting.Neil explains the key metrics for measuring podcasting success.Exploring the branding benefits of podcast collaborations.Connect with the Audio Branding Podcast:Book your project with Voice Overs and Vocals by visiting https://voiceoversandvocals.comConnect with me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jodikrangle/Watch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding (Thank you!)Share your passion effectively with these Tips for Sounding Your Best as a Podcast Guest!https://voiceoversandvocals.com/tips-for-sounding-your-best-as-a-podcast-guest/Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an Intentional Audio Strategyhttps://voiceoversandvocals.com/audio-branding-strategy/Editing/Production by Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

    Et si courir des milliers de kilomètres dans des déserts brûlants ou sur des étendues de glace n'était pas tant une quête de dépassement de soi qu'une façon de retisser du lien avec soi, avec les autres, avec le monde ?Dans cet épisode, j'ai eu la joie de recevoir Malek Boukerchi, ultra-marathonien de l'extrême, mais aussi “tisseur de rêves”, anthropologue du lien et fondateur des 42, une association qui emmène des jeunes des quartiers, souvent éloignés du sport ou de l'emploi, sur la ligne de départ de marathons mythiques pour retrouver confiance en eux et dans la vie. Dans un échange dense, intense et poétique, Malek déploie une vision magistrale : et si nous étions libre de rêver notre avenir, quelque soit nos origines et nos déterminismes ? Et si le rêve se conquierait par la volonté et l'effort ? Et si la rencontre était au coeur de toutes les bifurcations ? Et si les jeunes avaient surtout besoin qu'on les aide à croire en eux ? C'est un épisode magistral, qui nous portera tout l'été. Dans cet extrait, Malek nous parle du pouvoir des rêves. Lui qui a grandi dans les quartiers de Mulhouse, a osé rêver grand et croire dans ses capacités. Qui aurait pu imaginer qu'il traverserait tant de déserts et rencontrerait tant de peuples autochtones ? Il nous partage un adage berbère qui dit : "un homme ou une femme sans rêve, c'est comme un oiseau sans ailes. Il tombe."Il nous appelle à ne pas nous laisser définir par les circonstances de la vie et à ne jamais nous résigner. A nous ouvrir à d'autres possibles et à laisser nos rêves prendre forme. A nous entourer d'hommes et de femmes qui nous aident à croire dans nos possibles. A faire les choix nécessaires."Si tu as la tête adaptable, l'esprit droit, le cœur généreux et l'âme passionnée, tu as tout pour réussir et croire en tes rêves. Il suffit juste d'un peu de persévérance. Voilà la clé de la réussite. La persévérance."Un épisode qui inspire, bouscule et réenchante.

    A farmer in rural Ghana can use her phone to take a picture of a blighted leaf, upload it, and within seconds she gets a diagnosis that takes account of the soil, the weather, and the other local conditions. Score one for AI. We don't have enough human experts because they are hard to train, and harder still to retain, so apps like this have huge potential. But it doesn't mean they will succeed.Iqbal Dhaliwal, global executive director at J-PAL, has watched ambitious tech dreams for development fall apart before. Remember one laptop per child, the plan that failed because schools didn't have technical support, the right lesson plans -- or even electricity? He tells Tim Phillips that AI can succeed, as long as whoever is using it has thought through the theory of change, designs for impact rather than downloads, and can scale up successful experiments. J-PAL has launched the AI Evidence Playbook to help policymakers solve these knotty problems.The research behind this episodeDhaliwal, Iqbal, Sam Carter, Attaullah Abbasi, and Audrey Lorvo. 2026. AI Evidence Playbook: A Practical Guide. Cambridge, MA: Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL).To cite this episodePhillips, Tim, and Iqbal Dhaliwal. 2026. "How AI can put 20 years of development evidence to work." VoxDev Talks (podcast).About the guestIqbal Dhaliwal is global executive director of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL), based at MIT, and co-chairs Project AI Evidence. He co-directs J-PAL's South Asia office with Esther Duflo. Before joining J-PAL in 2009 he served in the Indian Administrative Service, where he ran a statewide welfare department and led a public company, delivering large-scale programmes in the field. His work spans the design, evaluation, and scale-up of anti-poverty programmes, and the question of when a technology genuinely changes lives rather than dashboards.Research and concepts cited in this episodeProject AI Evidence (PAIE) is J-PAL's initiative to identify, evaluate, and scale applications of AI for social good, and to scale down those that may cause harm. The AI Evidence Playbook is its practical output, a reference for policymakers, practitioners, and donors weighing whether and how to adopt AI-enabled programmes.The six pathways. The playbook groups two decades of development evidence into six areas where AI could raise impact or cut cost: improving needs prediction and targeting; increasing access to personalised, timely support; maximising the effectiveness of frontline service providers; improving organisational and programmatic efficiency; reducing bias and ensuring fairness; and boosting government resource mobilisation, including more progressive taxation.Machine learning targeting in Togo. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Togo's government wanted to reach its poorest households but lacked the administrative data to find them. Researchers used satellite imagery to identify likely-poor neighbourhoods from features such as house size and roof quality, then paired it with mobile phone records to narrow down poorer individuals within them; a practical, rapid way to fill a data gap without a social registry.Theory of change. The sequence of steps connecting an input to a final outcome. Dhaliwal's point is that most people hold an optimistic hypothesis rather than a theory of change: the inputs and the hoped-for outcome are clear, but the intermediary links, adoption, trust, workflows, repair, are missing. Writing it on paper is where the gaps show.Design for impact, design for scale. Engagement numbers and downloads are a first step, not proof of impact. Designing for scale means designing for a farmer who may lack a device, may lack reliable connectivity, and may not trust the technology without the extension worker they have known for fifteen years.One laptop per child, and smokeless stoves. Dhaliwal raises both as technologies whose theory of change was sound but whose delivery was not thought through: the school system could not absorb the laptop, the electricity and connectivity were not there, and no one planned for breakage. The relevant cautionary parallel for AI, whose problems he argues are not just inherited but exacerbated by the pace of change.Global knowledge, local context. Dhaliwal separates rules that can be changed from genuine context differences. A programme that works in India but "won't work in Ghana" because teachers there work six hours rather than six hours fifteen minutes is a rule problem, and solvable. A classroom of 1:20 versus 1:60 is a real contextual difference worth worrying about.More VoxDev Talks episodesThe development economics of AI: Lessons and questions.

    In this final episode of Season 5, we expose the warning signs of domestic violence-related murder-suicide with Danielle Edwards, Victim Services Coordinator for Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office, and Kylee Elliott, Senior Program Coordinator for Training and Engagement at the Georgia Commission on Family Violence. Using a Georgia case study as a point of reference, we explore events leading up to the final act of violence, the ripple effects on surviving families and communities, and a practical approach to postvention that helps people heal and reduces future harm.This episode discusses homicide and suicide.We also dig into what the data can tell us and what it still misses. National figures point to roughly 1,200 deaths a year in murder-suicide incidents, with intimate partner violence making up most cases, and firearms playing an outsized role. Beyond the statistics, lie instances of coercive control, suicide threats, and financial abuse long before any physical violence is visible. We take an honest look at why survivors may not label their experience as abuse, how systems can unintentionally shut doors when shelters are full or safety planning is skipped, and why “just leave” ignores the realities of money, housing, isolation, and fear.We also focus on what happens after the unthinkable. Murder-suicide can leave a wide circle of survivors including children, extended family, coworkers, and witnesses who face traumatic grief, stigma, and overwhelming practical needs. Danielle and Kylee explain postvention and why they treat postvention as prevention, including Georgia's survivor-driven Support for Survivors of Murder Suicide Project, clinician networks, support groups, and a freely shared response protocol communities can adapt now.

    "Eighty percent of what we are thinking, we are not consciously thinking." Education researcher and author Dr. Lisa Riegel joins host Josh Seldin to break down how understanding brain science can revolutionize workplace culture, human motivation, and organizational change. Dr. Riegel reveals why traditional management approaches often fail by ignoring how the human brain processes stress and value, and introduces actionable strategies to transition employees from passive compliance to deep co-creation. Josh and Lisa explore the mechanics of human behavior under pressure, the friction caused by misaligned values, and how to harness her 8C Commitment Framework to smooth resistance to change. From the power of strategic micro-celebrations to overcoming our brain's threat response, this conversation provides leaders with a practical, science-backed roadmap for creating environments where teams feel connected, capable, and motivated to grow. Key Takeaways: ✅ The Motivation Equation: How balancing expectancy and individual values transforms basic task compliance into genuine engagement. ✅ Decoding the Brain's Threat Response: Understanding how the amygdala and thalamus drive workplace behavior and conflict during times of change. ✅ The 8C Commitment Framework: A step-by-step model designed to eliminate organizational friction and align human systems for success. ✅ Beyond the Bottom Line: Why celebrating behavioral outputs rather than just end outcomes builds sustainable, high-performing cultures. ✅ Practical Culture Rituals: Simple, low-friction habits like "100 Ways in 100 Days" and "Pity & Pride" to elevate peer recognition and build collective efficacy. ✅ Leading for the Follower: Shifting from rigid leadership styles to adaptable, human-centered approaches that meet the true needs of your team.

    Riskiert Nvidia $600 Milliarden für den KI-Boom?

    Die Wall Street startet mit deutlichen Kursgewinnen in die Woche. Ausschlaggebend ist vor allem der kräftige Rückgang des Ölpreises, nachdem die USA und Iran offenbar eine informelle Feuerpause einhalten und neue diplomatische Gespräche ausloten. Berichten zufolge verzichtete das Weiße Haus erstmals seit zwei Wochen auf weitere Luftangriffe, während Iran im Gegenzug auf neue Attacken verzichten will. Mindestens ebenso wichtig für die Märkte ist jedoch Nvidia: Laut Wall Street Journal verhandelt der Konzern über eine Finanzgarantie von bis zu 250 Milliarden US-Dollar für das geplante OpenAI-Rechenzentrum in Ohio und könnte zusätzlich die Finanzierung von KI-Chips im Wert von weiteren 350 Milliarden US-Dollar übernehmen – ein Engagement von insgesamt bis zu 600 Milliarden US-Dollar. Für Optimisten wäre dies ein Beleg dafür, dass Nvidia alles daran setzt, den Boom bei KI-Rechenzentren abzusichern. Kritiker sehen darin dagegen den bislang deutlichsten Beweis für eine immer stärkere gegenseitige Finanzierung innerhalb der KI-Branche und warnen vor einer ungesunden Dynamik. Gleichzeitig appelliert Nvidia an Washington, offene KI-Modelle nicht pauschal zu regulieren, während OpenAI und Anthropic laut Medienberichten strengere Beschränkungen für chinesische Open-Source-Modelle fordern. In den Fokus rückt zudem eine ereignisreiche Woche mit der Fed-Entscheidung, den Inflations- und Wachstumsdaten sowie den Quartalszahlen von Microsoft, Meta, Apple und Amazon.

    Paul Lendvai verkörpert den Journalismus wie kaum ein anderer. Auch mit 96 Jahren schreibt er noch regelmässig Kolumnen für die österreichische Tageszeitung «Der Standard». Gleichzeitig ist er als Holocaustüberlebender und Opfer des Stalinismus Zeitzeuge der dunkelsten Phase des 20. Jahrhunderts. Paul Lendvais Geschichte ist so aussergewöhnlich wie beispielhaft. 1929 in Budapest als Sohn jüdischer Eltern geboren, erlebt er den institutionalisierten Antisemitismus der ungarischen Horthy-Jahre. 1944 wird er verschleppt und auf einen der sogenannte Todesmärsche geschickt, auf denen die ungarischen Juden in die österreichischen KZs gebracht wurden. Mit viel Glück gelingt ihm die Flucht, doch die Verfolgung hört nicht auf. Als junger Journalist im mittlerweile kommunistischen Ungarn gerät er in die Mühlen des Stalinismus und wird interniert. Erst nach dem Aufstand von 1956 und dessen Niederschlagung durch sowjetische Truppen gelingt ihm die Flucht nach Wien und damit der Start in ein neues Leben. Von seinen dunklen Jahren und dem Glück der Befreiung, von seiner Ankunft in Wien und seiner beispiellosen Karriere als Journalist, von seinem Kampf für Demokratie und seinem Engagement für Meinungsfreiheit, von seiner Abscheu gegen Antisemitismus und seinem Ärger über die derzeitige israelische Regierung und natürlich von seinem intensiven Bezug zur Musik erzählt der 96-jährige kerngesunde Paul Lendvai im Gespräch mit Michael Luisier.

    Ilene Fischer is the founder and CEO of Sophia Network, where she guides executive leaders through the turbulence of disruptive change, mergers, reorganizations, and breakthrough innovations – applying her signature Innovation Ecosystems methodology to turn strategic vision into reality. Earlier in her career, she was a partner at Charlie Kiefer's Innovation Associates and managing director at the Tom Peters Company, and has been an advocate for women's causes in an array of fields. “Innovation theatre” in which changes are promised without ever happening is Ilene's bete noire. Give me a corporate culture steeped in fear, and you can be sure that vital experimentation won't be valued. In this interview, she makes a strong case for constant iteration that cuts across departmental silos in order to keep pace with the nine disruptive factors she sees as happening simultaneously in the business world today. Is AI big? Yes. But so is what quantum computing makes possible. One of the biggest points she makes in this conversation is that companies are starved for multidisciplinary talent, and the talent they do manage is attract will leave promptly if not given a license to apply that talent and achieve results. Change starts with deep listening (no judging) and grows exponentially into a virtuous circle if done with respect; fail that test, and a vicious cycle will emerge instead. Ilene's book Innovation Ecosystems: A Dynamic Blueprint for Organizational Success and Engagement is published by John Murray Press, a division of Hachette. The book will be released on October 20 and is available for preorder now.  Real Transformations: Business Change That Works from the Inside Out is co-hosted by Julie Anixter and Dan Hill, PhD, entrepreneurs with deep experience as corporate change agents, devoted to helping companies make continuous change work for everyone through clarity and connection.

    Host Teresa Huizar speaks with Dr. Jamie Yoder of Colorado State University about how adversity and trauma increase risk for teens' problematic sexual behaviors and how trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) can be leveraged to expand treatment resources and reduce punitive responses. Yoder describes her clinical background with justice-involved youth and emphasizes that trauma is a major, though not causal, risk factor linked through intermediaries like attachment disruptions, executive functioning impacts, and trauma symptoms. They discuss why trauma has been poorly integrated into PSB interventions due to adult-like assumptions and punishment-oriented systems, then review Yoder's pilot testing TF-CBT across community and residential/justice settings, highlighting feasibility, the need for agency buy-in and readiness, and the role of caregiver involvement. The conversation underscores caregiver shame, clinician bias and support needs, and calls for trauma-informed, rehabilitative approaches and broader systems change.  Time Stamps: 00:00 Episode Overview 01:58 Jamie's Path to PSB Work 05:35 How Trauma Raises Risk 09:10 Why Trauma Was Ignored 13:53 Testing TF-CBT in Settings 18:34 Caregivers and Engagement 22:48 Study Results and Meaning 26:06 Shame as Treatment Target 31:51 Clinician Bias and Support 35:53 Trauma Informed Treatment Plans 40:14 Recommendations and Systems Change 45:33 Closing and Resources Resources:Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Adolescents with Problem Sexual Behaviors: Feasibility and Acceptability for Alleviating Traumatic Stress, Regulation Problems, and Sexual Behavior Problems | Journal of Child & Adolescent Trauma | Springer Nature Link Support the showDid you like this episode?

    During this energizing EDVIEW360 episode, we welcome Michelle Sullivan—literacy coach, reading interventionist, and creator of The Colorful Classroom—for a conversation about what it truly takes to make evidence‑based literacy instruction engaging, meaningful, and human.Drawing on more than a decade of experience supporting teachers and her signature COLORFUL philosophy, Sullivan shares how educators can bring both joy and rigor to the science of reading. She discusses why engagement is not an “extra,” how intentional use of language and design can deepen learning, and why morphology deserves a bigger place in everyday instruction. Sullivan also offers practical examples teachers can immediately use to help students connect with words, build knowledge, and feel successful as readers.Listeners will hear Sullivan's belief that literacy instruction should be vibrant, accessible, and rooted in research—and when educators blend the art and science of teaching, they create classrooms where every learner can thrive.This conversation is perfect for teachers, literacy coaches, and leaders seeking to elevate instruction, strengthen student engagement, and bring more color—literally and figuratively—into their reading block.What You Will Learn:How to bring joy and engagement back into literacy instruction using Sullivan's COLORFUL approach to instruction along with her blend of creativity and evidence‑based practiceWhy language-rich classrooms accelerate reading growth, and how teachers can intentionally build vocabulary, background knowledge, and discourse into daily routinesThe power of morphology—and why teaching word parts helps all students, especially those who struggle, unlock meaning and confidencePractical ways to design lessons that are both structured and vibrant, ensuring students experience success while staying deeply engagedHow to connect research to real classroom moments, making the science of reading feel doable, human, and energizing for teachersStrategies for supporting diverse learners through routines that honor students' voices, build independence, and create a sense of belongingWhy engagement is not an “extra” but a critical component of effective literacy instruction that strengthens attention, memory, and motivation

That same tension exists in music, where creators are constantly tempted to simplify, explain, and optimize their work for platforms that reward attention over originality.We talk about the difference between commodities and premium brands, why record labels used to function as curators, how streaming changed the value of recorded music, and why the best songwriters refuse to sand off the very edges that make their work memorable.Ultimately, this episode is about resisting the pressure to make art that's easier to consume—and instead making work that's harder to forget.New Episodes every Tuesday.Find the host Troy Cartwright on Twitter, Instagram.  Social Channels for Ten Year Town:YoutubeFacebookInstagramTwitterTikTokThis podcast was produced by Ben VanMaarth.

    You leave a leadership team meeting where everyone got their assignments and everyone nodded — and you still can't shake the sense that the real problem never got said out loud. That feeling isn't paranoia, and it isn't a sign your team is conflict-averse. In this episode, Brooke Richie-Babbage names a pattern she sees constantly in growing nonprofits: capable, mission-driven rooms shrinking a genuinely hard problem down to something manageable, because there's nowhere organizational to put the hard version. Brooke reframes complexity avoidance as a design failure rather than a people failure, walks through the three moves a room makes when it does this — the Compression, the Peripheral Solve, and the Collective Agreement — and shows why the problem you don't name in the fall becomes the more expensive crisis you're managing by winter. Listeners will leave able to spot the pattern in their own meetings, and with one specific question that interrupts it.What You'll LearnThe three moves a leadership room makes to avoid complexity — and the specific "tell" that gives each one away, starting with the word "just."Why naming a hard problem feels like volunteering to own it in an under-resourced organization — and why that makes shrinking it a rational response rather than a personal failing.The one question to bring into your next leadership meeting that forces a concrete answer the room usually already has.Key TakeawaysA busy meeting and a real meeting can look identical from the outside. Engagement, action items, and relief in the room are not proof that the actual problem got addressed — they're often the evidence that it didn't.This happens because complexity only stays manageable when there's a container for it: shared frameworks for naming hard things, and clear decision rights that say whose job it is to hold a problem. When that architecture is missing, complexity becomes personal — and the self-protective move is to make it smaller.Avoided complexity doesn't disappear; it compounds. What a room declines to name in September becomes the February crisis, and the February version costs more in money, time, and staff morale than the version that was on the table months earlier.Want to work together?

    Creating Workplace Cultures Where Employees Thrive | Billy Bonaparte, MBA

    Lets Have This Conversation

    The pace of organizational change has never been greater. According to the World Economic Forum, C-suite executives are continuously upskilling, restructuring their organizations, and investing in talent development to remain competitive in an era increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence and rapid market disruption. At the same time, LinkedIn reports that up to 85% of executives believe innovation is the most important outcome of their workplace technology and AI investments. Yet technology alone doesn't create innovation. Innovation is ultimately driven by people. Organizations that thrive understand that trust, psychological safety, inclusive leadership, and continuous learning are the true competitive advantages behind sustainable business success. This week on Let's Have This Conversation, I sat down with Billy Bonaparte, MBA, Transformational Culture Executive and Director of Culture and Engagement at Humana, to explore what it truly takes to build organizations where people—and performance—flourish. Billy has built a career helping organizations accelerate growth through talent, innovation, organizational culture, and human performance. Throughout his leadership journey, he has demonstrated that culture isn't simply an HR initiative—it's a strategic business capability. During his time at Humana, Billy led award-nominated culture and engagement initiatives that reached more than 10,000 associates, sustained engagement levels above 90%, and positioned organizational culture as a key driver of business strategy. His leadership included launching the enterprise-wide "Interrupting Bias" campaign, a 16-part video series that generated more than 100,000 views while encouraging authentic conversations around equitable opportunity and belonging. He also facilitated town halls reaching more than 10,000 employees and advised senior executives on communication strategies that strengthened trust across every level of the organization. What makes Billy's leadership especially compelling is that his work extends beyond strategy documents and organizational charts. He believes transformational leadership begins by connecting hearts and minds. Whether coaching executives to lead with authenticity, creating space for courageous conversations, or aligning organizational purpose with employee engagement, Billy consistently demonstrates that lasting cultural transformation happens when leaders intentionally invest in people. Throughout our conversation, we explored several timely leadership topics, including: One of the strongest themes throughout our discussion was that organizations don't create exceptional cultures by accident. They create them intentionally. Culture is built through the everyday behaviors leaders model, the psychological safety they establish, the trust they cultivate, and the opportunities they create for every employee to contribute their best ideas. As artificial intelligence continues transforming how organizations operate, the companies that distinguish themselves won't simply be those with the most advanced technology. They'll be the organizations whose leaders know how to combine innovation with empathy, purpose, inclusion, and human connection. Because while technology may accelerate business, people remain the driving force behind every breakthrough. This conversation offers practical insights for executives, HR professionals, organizational leaders, and anyone committed to building workplaces where trust fuels innovation, leadership inspires growth, and culture becomes a lasting competitive advantage.     LinkedIn: @BillyBonaparte, MBA     Learn more about your ad choices.

    What if fear could be taken away as a possibility for life — not managed, but banished for good? In this opening episode of The Overcoming Life 2: Rules of Engagement, Graham Cooke introduces the identity of majesty — the majesty that belongs to Jesus, which the Holy Spirit, the spirit of disclosure, loves to make real to us. Discover why worship is expansive enough to become a lifestyle of exaltation, why what sets us apart is that we are not afraid of the darkness, and why Caleb became a man of a different spirit when majesty was more real to him than the giants in the land. When majesty becomes your mindset, it is impossible to lose this fight — one person walking with God is always in the majority.Key Scriptures:+ John 16:14-15. "He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you."+ Colossians 1:18. "He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything."+ Ephesians 1:17-19. "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him... and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might."+ Numbers 14:24. "But My servant Caleb, because he has had a different spirit and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land which he entered, and his descendants shall take possession of it."+ Romans 8:31. "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?"Want to explore more?
