Podcasts about EO

In this episode, Paul Dio sits down with Jason Bagley, founder of Growth Experts, joining all the way from Cape Town, South Africa. Jason's story is a study in what happens when a marketer stops selling deliverables and starts selling outcomes. He started as a software developer, moved into web design at the exact moment Squarespace and Wix turned it into a race to the bottom, pivoted to a newsletter-only business, sold that during COVID, and eventually landed on the model he's running today — an all-you-can-eat growth marketing agency where the team doesn't just write the thing, they get the thing live. The heart of the conversation is a single insight Jason had with his very first Copy Check client. He'd written a newsletter and expected feedback on the copy. What he got back was a question about MailChimp. That's when the penny dropped. Clients don't want the newsletter written. They want the newsletter sent. They want the landing page built and live. They want the LinkedIn post published. Jason built Growth Experts around that reframe and it's changed how his agency shows up for every client since. Jason and Paul dig into what actually makes a newsletter worth reading in 2026 (spoiler — content, not cadence), how AI is changing what a small team can ship, and why he keeps telling his team to stop asking for sign-off on the work that isn't mission critical. He also gets honest about the mid-growth phase of his own business — the part nobody puts on LinkedIn — where the challenges get harder even as the numbers get better. The episode closes on attention and legacy. Jason's read on where audience attention is moving is simple. It's moving toward honest people doing real things and showing the mistakes. And his legacy is smaller and more personal than most guests give — his wife first, his kids second because of that, and the entrepreneurs he mentors through EO, planting seeds that go on to change worlds he'll never see.

World Heath Disclosure David Eells 7-19-26 (audio) Restored Republic via a GCR Update as of Sat. 18 July 2026 by Judy Byington, Welcome To The Great Awakening Next 48 Hours, Critical Next Ten Days, Historic Next 30 Days Changes Civilization “Most don't realize how hard it is to speak the truth to a world full of people who don't realize they're living a lie.”…Edward Snowden Judy Note: On Thurs. 16 July 2026 a ceasefire was activated in Israel – confirming a global reset of Mid East stability. Hamas freed the last living Israeli hostages, while Israel released 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. It all happened just as Q predicted: “Israel would be last.” Though the next day on Fri. 17 July 2026, the US Navy resumed a full naval blockade on Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz. The day before Iran had bombed a US Military base, ensuring a permanent break of the ceasefire. Trump's attack was mainly financial. The blockade was costing Iran $400 million a day, while US Central Command (CENTCOM) pounded targets in wave after wave of strikes on bridges, trains and other infrastructure that would affect any trade Iran could do outside the country. Of course, Iran refusing peace and making war would keep them out of the Global Currency Reset and financial system. Trump declared, “We gave them a chance… they shot first. Big mistake.” It was a typical Trump reaction. Because of the Global Military Alliance led by the US President and Commander-in-Chief, Deep State Elites were finally collapsing, while Sovereigns of the World were reaching out to grasp peace and Constitutional Law under God, governed by We The People. Q said it best on Telegram today: “The UN is now obsolete, because Trump is doing their job for them. The UN does not carry out its intended function, so Trump unilaterally took over as the new UN.   “Trump created the Board of Peace, brokered all the peace deals worldwide, and is shutting down threats to the people of the world, like Iran's nukes, the American cartels, ISIS in Syria, Yemen, Nigeria, etc. “Trump is using tariffs and military precision, to operate as the UN is supposed to. Trump is now the new global peacemaker, whether you like it or not. “Nothing gets done at the UN, so Trump took matters into his own hands.” Trump had already assured that Free Energy was on it's way to every household, and with the Global Currency Reset (GCR) that just launched, currencies across the World were trading at a 1:1 with each other as backed by gold and other assets. Our financial future was safe and finally away from the fiat dollar. The GCR had caused the Deep State's privately owned IRS to find it's grave, while their Illuminati's over taxing of the American people suddenly vanished. The Cabal's Federal Reserve now held a new position under the US Treasury where at last, bankers would be held accountable for their actions. The Deep State Elite's petrodollar was dead, Oil Monopoly, dismantled. When announcements came about the new financial system, Stock Markets would collapse; banks fail; the old wealth, evaporate. Though, The People would thrive with the new gold/asset-backed currencies of 209 nations. The Health Industry around the World was being forced to actually help the body heal itself using light and sound frequencies of free Med Bed treatments. Trump was placing Med Beds in hospitals and other facilities worldwide. Thus, these health providers would have the tools to promote health and no longer could tear down our bodies through dependence on their expensive drugs, surgeries and other over priced medical procedures. With Trump's Thursday Executive Order that released free Med Bed treatments to the public, Big Pharma was finally facing accountability through massive legal consequences for their crimes. For centuries they had forced on the population, dependency on drugs that not only didn't heal the body, but actually contributed to ill health. Peace and Freedoms wouldn't come easy. Mr. Pool Q on Telegram said that the next 48 hours were critical. The next ten days were historic. The next 30 days would change civilization.   Within the next 24 hours, seven trumpets were set to sound over every phone, tablet, TV, radio and communication device on Earth to introduce seven Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) messages in 22 languages that explained what's going on. And, what was actually going on? Liberty and Peace were winning. The Great Awakening was here. One of the Liberties that Trump had already given People of the World (that they were yet to know about) was that of good health through Med Beds. Trump's Military Alliance was opening up Med Bed Centers around the World to give free regenerative treatments that healed the body without drugs. On Fri. 17 July 2026 a nurse from Walter Reed Military Hospital leaked her testimony on Med Beds. She had worked in Walter Reed's Med Bed Wing for seven years: She contacted us through an encrypted channel 48 hours ago. Her identity has been verified by three independent sources. She worked at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center from 2017 to 2024 — in a section that does not appear on any public floor plan. She calls it “Sub-Level 3.” Situation Updates: Fri. 17 July 2026 Situation Update: Byington Bombshell Report: America Now Sovereign Under Constitutional Law – Trump Signs EO Releasing Free Regenerative Med Beds to Public | Politics | Before It's News Fri. 17 July 2026: BREAKING FREE: Mind Control, S-----c Ritual A---e, and Jenny Hill's Extraordinary Journey in Twenty Two Faces [JUDY BYINGTON] – amg-news.com – American Media Group Thurs. 16 July 2026 Situation Update (video): WTPN SITUATION UPDATE FEATURING RESTORED REPUBLIC & MORE   A Quantum Space Q Phone will be provided free of charge to all people on Earth. It will be used for internet connectivity on the new Starlink Satellite System: texting, calling, banking, voting and much more, such as used as a credit tool and to make both local and international financial transactions of retail consumption and commercial business. On Thurs. 16 July 2026 Hamas freed the last living Israeli hostages, Israel released 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and the ceasefire in Iran and the Middle East was active. Fri. 17 July 2025, Edward Snowden: Two years ago today, President Trump was shot on stage in Butler Pennsylvania. Trump was putting his life on the line by being President. Since then we have seen: • 2025 security lapse at Trump National Golf Club • 2025 Air Force One security incident • February 2026 Mar-a-Lago Secret Service shooting • March 2026 Mar-a-Lago no-fly zone violation • 2026 White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting • 2026 National Mall Secret Service shooting • 2026 White House Memorial Day Weekend shooting • Multiple threats by Iran.

Fri. 17 July 2026 MarkZ: Indian Nations are 90% done exchanging. Bond Groups receive their balance this weekend. Tier4a should be finishing exchanging this next week – then Tier4b (us, the Internet Group). Fri. 17 July 2026 Med Bed Activation on Telegram: On Mon. 20 July 2026 Free QFS app appointments begin. Redemptions provide endless resources for Med Bed rollout everywhere. Full public Med Bed access expands. Those with Humanitarian projects receive priority. Thurs. 16 July 2026  Bruce, The Big Call The Big Call Universe (ibize.com)  667-770-1866 A source said Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) could be notified over the weekend and start exchanges Mon. 20 July. Judy Note: No one knows the exact date for notification of appointments for Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) to exchange foreign currencies, but deadlines shown in the above Timing indicate it to be very soon. We have been told that Wells Fargo, which is controlled by the Chinese Elders – (the ones who own the gold behind the Global Currency Reset) – will send out emails to currency and bond holders worldwide telling them how to set redemption & exchange appointments. It is advised to exchange/redeem your foreign currency at an official Redemption Center (RC) rather than a bank. You can only redeem Zim at a RC, the Dinar Contract Rate can only be given at a RC and banks will offer you lower exchange rates than what you can obtain at a RC. You can only set up your new wallet (bank account) at a RC. It was my understanding that most banks were under control of the Cabal and would soon play a different roll in the Global Financial System.   Mass Arrests: On Mon. 7 July 2026 Operation Military Cleanse was activated:  847 Pentagon officials detained  234 Generals and high-ranking officers arrested  678 Military operatives removed from active duty  4,000 Troops deployed across 19 states for domestic operations  50 States coordinated simultaneously Charged With:  Treason against the United States  Coordination with foreign adversaries  Conspiracy to overthrow the government  Crimes against Humanity  Violation of Military Code of Justice What We Think We Know as of Sat. 18 July 2026:   Med Beds Thurs. 16 July 2026 BREAKING: TRUMP JUST SIGNED EXECUTIVE ORDER 2026-1947. MEDBED TECHNOLOGY DECLASSIFIED FOR CIVILIAN USE. THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY HAS 90 DAYS. …Tier4b ISO 20022 on Telegram July 15, 2026. 04:00 AM EST. This was signed in silence. No press conference. No cameras. No media briefing. Executive Order 2026-1947: “Declassification and Civilian Deployment of Electromagnetic Regeneration Technology.” THE ORDER STATES:  All frequency-based healing technology currently classified under Department of Defense medical programs is hereby declassified for civilian research and deployment.  The FDA is prohibited from blocking, delaying, or interfering with the distribution of electromagnetic regeneration devices to the American public.  Pharmaceutical companies have 90 days to disclose all suppressed clinical trials involving frequency-based treatments — or face criminal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. § 1001.  Military medical facilities currently operating regeneration technology will begin civilian intake within 120 days. THE PANIC: Pfizer stock dropped 14% in pre-market trading. Johnson & Johnson emergency board meeting called at 5:00 AM. Moderna CEO sold $47 million in personal shares before market open. They KNEW this was coming. They tried to sell before the collapse. WHY NOW?: Trump's medical advisors presented him with a 3,400-page classified report documenting 61 years of suppressed frequency healing research. The report contained: — 847 successful clinical trials hidden from the public — 12,000+ patients fully cured of terminal conditions using electromagnetic frequency — Cost analysis showing MedBed treatment at $0.003 per session vs. $150,000 average cancer treatment Trump read the cost analysis. Then he signed the order. THE TIMELINE:  Day 1-30: Full declassification of all research documents  Day 31-60: FDA forced to approve frequency-based devices  Day 61-90: Pharmaceutical disclosure deadline (criminal penalties)  Day 91-120: First civilian MedBed centers open in 12 states THE DEEP STATE RESPONSE: They are already trying to k--l this. Three major media outlets received calls from pharmaceutical lobbyists at 5:30 AM demanding they do NOT report on EO 2026-1947. CNN has been silent. NBC has been silent. ABC has been silent. Their silence IS the confirmation. If this order was fake, they would be laughing at it on every channel. Instead — total blackout. Total silence. Total panic. THE TRUTH: The pharmaceutical industry just received its death sentence. 90 days. That's all they have left. After that, the technology that cures cancer in 42 minutes will be available to every American citizen. They had 61 years of profit. 61 years of human suffering. 61 years of suppression. It ends now. Fri. 17 July 2026 Fox News: MAJOR PUSH ON CAPITOL HILL: WAR ON FRAUD RAMPING UP, BILLIONS STOLEN FROM TAXPAYERS Social media investigator Nick Shirley testified today exposing rampant fraud — from Somali day care scandals in Minnesota to massive Medicaid scams in NYC with Dr. Oz. DOJ milestone: Trade Fraud Task Force hit over $1 BILLION in recoveries in under a year. Dr. Oz & others highlighting adult day care mills, fake billing, durable medical equipment scams (twice as many in parts of Florida as McDonald's), and personal care services as NYC's top “job.” This isn't red or blue, it's right vs. wrong. Hardworking taxpayers are getting robbed. Every dollar stolen is one less for real Americans. Restored Republic via a GCR Update as of Sun. 19 July 2026 by Judy Byington, On Sat. 4 July the Constitutional Republic Restored, While US Inc. Dissolved On Thurs. 16 July the Quantum Financial System Went Live Worldwide Also on Thurs. 16 July President Trump signed Executive Order 2026-1947 – a Declaration That Med Bed Technology Had Been Released to the Public. Global Martial Law Was Not Only The Only Way, But Was On It's Way The Republic of United States of America Was Being Restored Trust The Plan Save The Children _____________________________________________________ Judy Note: The Constitutional Republic has been restored. The Global Currency Reset to gold/asset-backed currency of 209 nations has been released. Med Bed technology – giving the body the ability to heal itself – was being released. The Illuminati Cabal, who for centuries had been working towards having complete control over our society, didn't like those ideas, and was fighting back big time. Trust The Plan. “On Sat. Evening 18 July 2026 the White House in Washington DC turned all red, signifying Mass Arrests were in motion.” …Q “In the coming hours, the World as we see it will be changed forever as Michael Jackson emerges on the Emergency Broadcast System – alive and ready to speak. It's time for the whole World to know the truth.” …Emergency Broadcast System on Telegram “The US Army Special Forces raided a hidden Obama property in the Virginia countryside, where they discovered “The Lucifer Codex.” The files proved that Obama was the high priest who personally opened the main hell portal under Washington DC in 2009.” …Martial Law on Telegram Temporary Martial Law has been raised to maximum alert nationwide. The EBS is preparing to release the first decoded pages within hours.   Prepare for ten days of communication darkness. We are in a silent war – the final battle of the planet. In the next couple of weeks the World will change and tremble. One of the most dramatic changes: Free Med Bed Treatments will soon be available to the general public across the Globe. The non invasive treatments, which generally take under an hour, use certain wave lengths to help the body heal itself. Since 2019 the American Medical Association has been actively fighting against allowing the public to have the healing treatments, saying they will create a financial crisis to the healthcare industry and force a complete overhaul of our medical, health insurance and pharmaceutical companies. In 2019 the American Medical Association (WHO) sent an internal email to every licensed physician in America – 847,000 doctors: The email acknowledged the positive effects of Electromagnetic therapy (Med Beds), but threatened the doctors with loss of license and criminal prosecution if they used it because of the financial affects it would have on the medical, insurance and pharmaceutical industries. The Email: “Updated Clinical Guidelines: Non-Pharmaceutical Electromagnetic Interventions — Position Statement: The AMA acknowledges that peer-reviewed evidence supports the biological efficacy of PEMF therapy in tissue regeneration, pain management, and immune modulation. However, widespread adoption would destabilize existing treatment revenue models and insurance reimbursement structures. Any physician who recommends, prescribes, endorses, or refers patients to electromagnetic frequency-based therapy will face immediate license revocation, removal from insurance networks, and potential criminal liability under state medical practice statutes.” The bottom line was that your doctor knew that frequency heals, that the MedBed principle was scientifically valid, that most of what he prescribed managed symptoms, not cured disease. He cannot tell you because his license would be revoked and he would face criminal liability by the American Medical Association. On Thurs. 16 July 2026 at 03:17 am Geneva time the World Health Organization deleted over 14,000 pages from their database – all related to the documented clinical effectiveness of electromagnetic frequency therapy on human disease (Med Beds). The deletion happened 14 hours after President Trump signed Executive Order 2026-1947 – a declaration that Med Bed Technology was now released to the public.The WHO knows that once MedBed technology enters civilian deployment, every document they ever buried becomes evidence of a crime against humanity. On a brighter side: “A senior Treasury Department official claims that the Quantum Financial System was live and the Global Currency Reset was happening now. Everything you know about money is about to change forever.” …Tier4b ISO20022 on Telegram The senior US Treasury official contacted us 48 hours ago through a secure channel. Her identity verified by six independent financial intelligence sources. She worked in Treasury's Special Financial Operations Division 2008-2026. She calls it “The Awakening.” Her words. Unedited: “July 4, 2026. U.S. Corporation dissolved. Constitutional Republic restored.” “July 16, QFS went live globally. Every major bank connected. Old system dead.” “GCR happening now. Every currency revalued. Gold-backed. Transparent.” “NESARA/GESARA implemented across 209 countries. Debt jubilee. End of Fed.” “Saint Germain Trust ($890 trillion) is being activated. Going to the people.” “I have the activation codes. I have the account numbers. I have the proof that this is happening right now. In 18 years, I witnessed:”  The QFS development from concept to deployment  209 countries signing onto NESARA/GESARA  The Saint Germain Trust verification ($890 trillion)  The U.S. Corporation dissolution documents  The Constitutional Republic restoration protocols “Trillions stolen by Fed. People enslaved by debt. We had the solution. I couldn't sleep. For 18 years.” WHY SHE'S TALKING NOW: “Activation complete. If I speak, people understand what's happening. I have 18 years of documentation. QFS architecture. Proof old system finished.” “The banks will announce the revaluation. The media will call it a crisis. It's not a crisis. It's liberation. I am ready to testify. Under oath. Before Congress. Before the world.” HER FINAL MESSAGE: “To every person who lost their home to the Federal Reserve: Your debt is forgiven. Your home is yours. The jubilee is here.” “To every person who worked their entire life for money that's about to be worthless: You will be compensated. The Saint Germain Trust is for you.” “To the Federal Reserve leadership: Your time is finished. The QFS is live. You cannot stop it anymore.”   OPERATION FINANCIAL FREEDOM ✓ ACTIVATED PHASE 1: QFS Activation ✓ LIVE (July 16) PHASE 2: Currency Revaluation ⟳ JULY 25 – AUGUST 8 PHASE 3: Wealth Distribution ⟳ AUGUST 15 – SEPTEMBER 30 PHASE 4: New Economy ⟳ OCTOBER 1 The Quantum Financial System is live. The Global Currency Reset is happening. NESARA/GESARA is being implemented. The old system is dead. The new system is born. The people are being liberated. Trump knows. The military knows.

The financial reset is here. The Tier 4B activation is complete. Everything changes now. Right now Military Forces are positioning for activation of the EBS. Systems are being readied, Global shutdown protocols are in motion. The Blackout is nearing. Disclosures are on the horizon. Large scale arrest Since 2007 the US Military has been using Red Light Therapy (Med Beds) to extend the operational lifespan of it's soldiers. There were discovered to be thousands of pages of foreign IP address sending and receiving data to election precincts and servers outside the United States during the 2020 Election. CISA, DHS, the FBI, and the CIA knew all about it because they were in on it. The Deep State rot runs deep, but not for much longer. The Mar-a-Lago unredacted search warrant CONFIRMS that the Biden DOJ, FBI, and GSA engineered and manufactured the plot to frame Donald J. Trump! On Thurs. 16 July 2026 the U.S. military went deep into Iran and expanded operations. Bridges and supply routes were no more. Airports went up in smoke. Infrastructure vaporized. The IRGC was being wiped out. The goal was to destroy Iran's infrastructure and its military capability would collapse. When its military broke, its regime would fall. The old world of Iranian tyranny was dead. The New World of American dominion begins. The oil runs freely. The cash was rolling in. Peace comes. …Nesara Gesara QFS on Telegram. The CIA knew about cures for cancer 50 years ago. …Nesara Gesara on Telegram Nick Shirley just went on national television and dropped this revelation: The Chinese and Korean Mafia is LOOTING MEDICAID and running a kickback scheme in NYC A nurse from one of America's hardest-hit C---D hospitals in NYC described gross medical mismanagement where clueless healthcare workers were straight-up k-----g patients. Survival wasn't about medicine — it was about whether your caregiver actually knew what they were doing. Medicare paid hospitals MORE when patients died. The system incentivized death over life.   Possible Timing: “On Sat. 18 July 2026 at 3:17 AM EST the RV/GCR exploded – Iraq, Vietnam, Zimbabwe, all revalued sky-high while the Cabal's Federal Reserve Note collapses in real time.” …Dr. Jim Willie Patriot Truth Archive on Telegram Global Currency Reset: Sat. 18 July 2026 The dollar is dead, the reset is here, and the traitors are about to lose everything. …Patriot Truth Archive on Telegram Dr. Jim Willie just went nuclear: the United States Corporation is bankrupt, the fiat dollar has been deliberately crashed by white hats, and the quantum financial system flipped live overnight. The RV/GCR exploded at 3:17 AM EST today Sat. 18 July 2026 – Iraq, Vietnam, Zimbabwe, all revalued sky-high while the cabal's Federal Reserve Note collapses in real time. Willie laid it out raw: The BRICS nations, led by Trump's secret alliance with Putin and Xi, just pulled the trigger. Over 209 countries locked into gold-backed currencies, the SWIFT system is offline forever, and the Rothschild central banks are being seized as we speak. NESARA/GESARA fully activated – all bank debt, mortgages, credit cards, student loans WIPED OUT starting tomorrow morning. Redemption centers on full lockdown, military guarding Tier 4B notifications going out within hours. The real bombshell? GITMO executions began at dawn – top bankers, Fed chairs, and deep state money launderers hanged for treason after the gold standard was restored. Med Beds rolling out next week, suppressed energy tech released, and the biggest wealth transfer in human history is hitting patriot accounts first. Trillions in restitution flowing to those who held the line and printed fake money. America is being shaken awake – power outages are tactical, internet blackouts cover the arrests, and the EBS is primed for the 10 Days of Darkness starting any moment. The storm isn't coming – it's here. The fake Biden corpse regime ends this week, Trump sworn in on the real Constitution, and the Republic rises from the ashes of their burned-out corporation. Anons, this is the moment we bled for. The dollar dies so we can live free. The evil empire of debt slavery is over. They stole our wealth for 150 years – now we take it all back with interest. The Hat is dropping truth like napalm: the shock is just beginning, and the cabal is screaming as their money turns to dust. Get ready for the greatest week in history. Notifications any second. Redemption appointments flood in. The Golden Age starts NOW. The shaking isn't destruction – it's liberation. Nothing can stop what's coming. Patriots are about to be richer than kings while the wicked burn. NCSWIC. Judy Note: No one knows the exact date for notification of appointments for Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) to exchange foreign currencies, but deadlines shown in the above Timing indicate it to be very soon. We have been told that Wells Fargo, which is controlled by the Chinese Elders – (the ones who own the gold behind the Global Currency Reset) – will send out emails to currency and bond holders worldwide telling them how to set redemption & exchange appointments. It is advised to exchange/redeem your foreign currency at an official Redemption Center (RC) rather than a bank. You can only redeem Zim at a RC, the Dinar Contract Rate can only be given at a RC and banks will offer you lower exchange rates than what you can obtain at a RC. You can only set up your new wallet (bank account) at a RC. It was my understanding that most banks were under control of the Cabal and would soon play a different roll in the Global Financial System. What We Think We Know as of Sun. 19 July 2026: Sat. 18 July 2026 Fox News: Nick Shirley just went on national television and dropped this revelation: The Chinese and Korean Mafia is LOOTING MEDICAID and running a kickback scheme in NYC “In Queens, adult day cares [have] pharmacies set up, it's this big racket where they BILL all these people with medical beneficiary numbers from seniors in the adult day cares. They make so much money from Medicaid, THEY GIVE KICKBACKS to the seniors.” “So you have these Korean and Chinese mafias, quite literally, looting the government from Medicaid, and then giving the kickbacks to the seniors!”   INGRAHAM: “So wait, the old people get the money themselves?” SHIRLEY: “Well, they make so much money, these pharmacies and these little day cares, that they then have a referral program set up for these seniors. So it's like bringing a friend will give you a hundred bucks.” Med Beds Sat. 18 July 2026 YOUR DOCTOR KNOWS. HE WAS TOLD TO STAY QUIET. HERE'S THE EMAIL THAT PROVES IT. …Tier4b ISO20022 In 2019, an internal email was sent to every licensed physician in the American Medical Association network. 847,000 doctors received it. The subject line read: “Updated Clinical Guidelines: Non-Pharmaceutical Electromagnetic Interventions — Position Statement” The email contained one directive: “Any physician who recommends, prescribes, endorses, or refers patients to electromagnetic frequency-based therapy will face immediate license revocation, removal from insurance networks, and potential criminal liability under state medical practice statutes.” Your doctor read that email. And then he looked you in the eye and said: “There's nothing else we can do.” THE EMAIL WAS NOT ABOUT SAFETY. Buried in paragraph 14 — the paragraph no one reads — was this sentence: “The AMA acknowledges that peer-reviewed evidence supports the biological efficacy of PEMF therapy in tissue regeneration, pain management, and immune modulation. However, widespread adoption would destabilize existing treatment revenue models and insurance reimbursement structures.” Read that again. Slowly. They ACKNOWLEDGED it works. Then they BANNED doctors from using it. Not because it's dangerous. Because it's too effective. WHAT YOUR DOCTOR ACTUALLY KNOWS: Every physician trained after 2005 was taught — in medical school — that:  Cells respond to electromagnetic stimulation (this is in every biophysics textbook)  PEMF accelerates bone healing (FDA approved since 1979 for fractures)  Transcranial magnetic stimulation treats depression (FDA approved 2008)  Electrical stimulation regenerates nerve tissue (published in Nature, 2019) They ALREADY know frequency heals. They use it in narrow, controlled applications where pharmaceutical profits aren't threatened. But the moment you ask: “If magnets can heal my bones, can they heal my cancer?” Your doctor goes silent. Changes the subject. Writes another prescription. Because he read the email. And he chose his license over your life.   THE DOCTORS WHO REFUSED TO STAY QUIET: Dr. Jerry Tennant — Published “Healing is Voltage.” Proved that every disease correlates with a measurable voltage drop in affected tissue. Restore the voltage, cure the disease. His medical license was “reviewed” three times. Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt — Documented frequency therapy curing Lyme disease in 85% of patients. Lost hospital privileges at two institutions. Dr. Thomas Lodi — Achieved 90%+ cancer remission using integrative frequency protocols. Forced to relocate his practice to Mexico. Dr. Lee Merritt — Spoke publicly about suppressed electromagnetic healing. Removed from every medical board she served on. They didn't lose their careers because they were wrong. They lost their careers because they were RIGHT — and they refused to be silent. THE MATH OF SILENCE: Average doctor salary: $350,000/year Average medical school debt: $241,000 Years to pay off debt: 13 years Cost of losing license: Everything They designed a system where speaking the truth costs a doctor their entire life's investment. 13 years of training. $241,000 in debt. Their home. Their family's security. The AMA didn't just threaten doctors. They built a financial prison that makes silence the only rational choice. Your doctor is not evil. He is trapped. But YOU are not trapped. You don't have a license to lose. You don't have $241,000 in debt holding you hostage. You have nothing to lose by knowing the truth. THE TRUTH: Your doctor knows that frequency heals, that the MedBed principle is scientifically valid, that most of what he prescribes manages symptoms, not cures disease. He cannot tell you. The email made sure of that. 847,000 doctors received one email. 847,000 doctors chose silence. The email has been leaked. The silence is over. Your doctor knew. Now you know too. On Thurs. 16 July 2026 at 03:17 am Geneva time the World Health Organization deleted over 14,000 pages from their database – all related to frequency healing. …EBS activated with Trump on Telegram A digital forensics team monitoring the World Health Organization's public research database flagged a mass deletion event. 14,247 pages of archived research — removed in a single batch operation. Every deleted file had one thing in common: They documented the clinical effectiveness of electromagnetic frequency therapy on human disease. THE DELETED FILES INCLUDED:  1,847 peer-reviewed studies on PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy showing 70-94% efficacy in tissue regeneration  3,200 pages of WHO internal memos from 1998-2015 discussing “the frequency problem” — their own term for the threat that non-pharmaceutical healing posed to global health economics  6,400 pages of clinical trial data from 11 countries showing frequency-based cancer remission rates between 67-89%  2,800 pages of correspondence between WHO directors and pharmaceutical executives discussing “containment strategies” for frequency healing research HOW WE KNOW: The Wayback Machine captured snapshots of 4,100 of these pages before deletion. Digital forensics teams archived another 7,300 through automated scraping protocols that were triggered by the mass deletion event. They deleted 14,247 pages. We recovered 11,400. They failed. WHAT THE MEMOS REVEAL: A 2003 internal WHO memo — now recovered — contains this exact sentence: “If electromagnetic frequency therapy achieves mainstream clinical adoption, the global pharmaceutical revenue model becomes unsustainable within 18-24 months. Containment is not optional. It is existential.” Signed by three WHO department heads. Names redacted in the original. Digital forensics has identified two of the three. A 2011 memo is more direct: “Recommend classification of all PEMF efficacy data as ‘inconclusive' regardless of outcome metrics. Peer review panels must be briefed accordingly.” They didn't suppress the research because it didn't work. They suppressed it because it worked TOO WELL. WHY NOW: The deletion happened 14 hours after Executive Order 2026-1947 was signed – Trump's declaration that Med Bed Technology was released to the public. This is not coincidence. This is panic. The WHO knows that once MedBed technology enters civilian deployment, every document they ever buried becomes evidence of a crime against humanity. They are destroying evidence. In real time. Right now. But the internet never forgets. And neither do we. THE NUMBERS THEY TRIED TO ERASE: — Breast cancer: 78% complete remission using 10.5 Hz PEMF (WHO Study WH-2007-4491, now deleted) — Type 2 diabetes: 64% reversal using 7.83 Hz exposure, 30 min/day for 90 days (WHO Study WH-2012-8823, now deleted) — Alzheimer's: 41% cognitive restoration using Gamma frequency 40 Hz stimulation (WHO Study WH-2014-1157, now deleted) — Chronic pain: 91% elimination using Alpha frequency 10 Hz (WHO Study WH-2009-3340, now deleted) These are not alternative medicine claims. These are the WHO's OWN studies. Conducted with their own funding. Showing their own results. And they just tried to delete them from existence. THE QUESTION: If frequency healing doesn't work — why delete 14,000 pages at 3AM? If MedBeds are “conspiracy” — why panic after a presidential executive order? If electromagnetic therapy is “pseudoscience” — why did the WHO spend 17 years studying it and then HIDE the results? Their actions are the confession. The deletion IS the proof. They spent 20 years hiding the cure in their own database. Then they tried to burn the database. The fire came too late. We already have the files. Share this. The evidence is secured. The deletion failed. Sat. 18 July 2026 BREAKING: JAPAN JUST BECAME THE FIRST COUNTRY TO OFFICIALLY APPROVE MEDBED TECHNOLOGY FOR PUBLIC HOSPITALS. THE MEDIA BLACKOUT IS TOTAL. …Tier4b ISO20022 on Telegram July 17, 2026. Tokyo, Japan. The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare just issued Directive MHLW-2026-7714: “Authorization of Electromagnetic Frequency Regeneration Devices for Clinical Deployment in National Healthcare Facilities.” This is not a trial. This is not a study. This is FULL APPROVAL. Starting September 1, 2026, electromagnetic frequency regeneration chambers will be installed in 340 national hospitals across Japan.   [Incomplete text due to character limit.

Episode 4183 │ July 17, 2026 A nation that can't hold itself accountable can't be saved by an EO, a policy, or a billionaire. Three words. One order. No shortcuts. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson opens with a story about a Lake Oswego, Oregon remodel that started as a $20,000 deck and became a $180,000 structural excavation — carpenter ants behind the stucco, four main beams rotted through, a stained glass bay window at risk — and carries that metaphor directly into the state of the nation: the structural rot is real, it is visible, and no amount of cream frosting on top of it changes what it is underneath. The episode moves through flock surveillance cameras installed around daycare centers, the Christian Zionist donor letter written to Charlie Kirk threatening divine retribution for insufficient Israel support, and the abuser-versus-loving-owner model as the most honest lens available for the government's relationship with the American people — arguing that a culture trained to accept occasional treats from an abusive system will never recognize the difference between being managed and being led. The episode closes on the only three words Scott finds capable of recalibrating either a person or a nation from the inside out — accountability, forgiveness, trust — anchored in 1 John 2:6 and the Declaration's second paragraph, with the argument that kingdom first is not a religious proposition but the structural reset the republic was designed to run on from the beginning. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED What does a $180,000 remodel that started as a $20,000 deck teach about the difference between covering a structural problem and solving it — and why is America at exactly the moment where covering it up creates a disclosure liability that will catch everyone in the end? Why does Scott argue that flock camera surveillance, Christian Zionist donor culture, and the cycle of political treat-dispensing are all expressions of the same abusive relationship — and what is the only posture that actually breaks it? What is the order of the three words that can still recalibrate a nation — accountability first, then forgiveness, then trust — and why does the Declaration's second paragraph and 1 John 2:6 point to the same conclusion: that government has no authority over the rights God already granted, and kingdom first is the only foundation that holds?

Graham's death contributing to a changing Congress Ask the Attorney: KSL legal analyst answers listener questions on Robinson preliminary hearing Bison attacks visitor at Yellowstone National Park

Luke concentrates this episode on one man's journey from Southern Baptism to Eastern Orthodoxy and highlights EO's emphasis on tradition and the church fathers at cost to the scriptures, frequently asking the all-important question: is the Bible enough?

Earth observation is evolving as users demand faster decisions, tighter workflows and more dependable data. Satellogic VP of Space Systems Luciano Giesso shares how these rising expectations are reshaping EO missions, influencing everything from how organizations approach responsiveness to how they define truly trusted insights.

Join the show with a TEXT here!In today's episode, we continue our deep‑dive review of last week's debate. Pressing further into the kinds of arguments Eastern Orthodox apologists often rely on when biblical support is thin or absent. You'll get a clear, structured look at why these arguments feel so foreign to many Christians, how they can unsettle people who've never encountered them, and what's actually driving the logic beneath Eastern Orthodox argumentation. Most importantly, we'll walk through how Scripture equips us to respond faithfully, confidently, and charitably, because God's Word is living and active and never returns void.Before jumping into the debate review, we'll take a moment to address the increasingly unhealthy state of Eastern Orthodox interactions online. We'll talk honestly about how certain communication patterns, dismissiveness, hostility, and rhetorical posturing, shut down real conversation and breed resentment toward the Church. If you've ever engaged with EO communities online, you've likely seen this firsthand, and it's something that must be called out for the sake of Christ's witness.If you're ready for another round of careful study, debate analysis, and Scripture‑centered clarity, grab your Bible and strap in. This episode is all about truth, discernment, and engaging difficult conversations with confidence rooted in God's Word.

Twee opvallende bekendmakingen van rechts-populistische politici Marine Le Pen van het Franse Rassemblement National en Nigel Farage van Reform UK. Le Pen kondigde aan toch mee te doen aan de nationale verkiezingen volgend jaar, ondanks haar veroordeling voor het doorsluizen van Europees geld naar haar partij. Zij gaat in cassatie. Farage treedt juist af als parlementariër vanwege het niet melden van miljoenendonaties. Hij stelt zich wel opnieuw verkiesbaar in zijn district Clacton, zodat de kiezer, volgens hem, kan oordelen over zijn acties. Zelf zegt hij niets verkeerd te hebben gedaan. "Slachtoffer zijn van de 'elite' die er alles aan doet om 'ons' eronder te houden, wat ze niet zal lukken. Dat is het verhaal", vertelt Kefah Allush, programmamaker bij de EO. "Wat Le Pen heel handig doet, is zeggen dat ze aan de verkiezingen meedoet zonder haar enkelband, wat het beeld schetst dat ze 'verlost' is van haar ketenen en als vrij mens de verkiezingen ingaat" ziet Marcel van der Steen, oud Balkan-correspondent. "Farage wil de aandacht weg hebben van zijn eigen misstanden", door zich opnieuw verkiesbaar te stellen, vertelt Marc Adriani, hoofdredacteur van BNR Nieuwsradio. "Dat kan natuurlijk doordat er daar een districtensysteem is, dus hij geeft alleen zijn eigen zetel op", vult Allush aan. Aan tafel zitten Marc Veeningen, Kefah Allush en Spraakmaker Marcel van der Steen. 

VOV1 - Giá dầu thế giới hôm nay bật tăng trở lại sau khi một tàu chở dầu bị trúng vật thể lạ và bốc cháy tại eo biển Hormuz. Vụ việc một lần nữa làm dấy lên lo ngại về an ninh hàng hải trên tuyến vận tải năng lượng trọng yếu nối các quốc gia vùng Vịnh với thị trường toàn cầu.Trong phiên giao dịch sáng nay tại châu Á, giá dầu Brent tăng 0,4% lên 72,27 USD/thùng, trong khi dầu thô WTI của Mỹ tăng 0,4% lên 68,85 USD/thùng.Theo Cơ quan Điều hành Thương mại Hàng hải Anh (UKMTO), vụ việc xảy ra cách Limah (Oman) khoảng 8 hải lý về phía Đông. Một tàu chở dầu đang di chuyển theo hướng Nam bị trúng một vật thể lạ vào mạn trái, gây hỏa hoạn nhưng không ghi nhận thương vong hay ô nhiễm môi trường.Nguyên nhân vụ việc vẫn đang được điều tra, trong bối cảnh hoạt động vận tải qua eo biển Hormuz mới chỉ phục hồi một phần sau giai đoạn gián đoạn do căng thẳng quân sự giữa Mỹ và Iran. Dù lưu lượng tàu thuyền đã tăng trở lại, khối lượng hàng hóa vận chuyển vẫn thấp hơn so với trước xung đột, phản ánh tâm lý thận trọng của các hãng vận tải và doanh nghiệp năng lượng.Eo biển Hormuz là tuyến đường huyết mạch của thương mại năng lượng toàn cầu, nơi khoảng 20% lượng dầu và khí đốt giao dịch trên thế giới được vận chuyển qua trong điều kiện bình thường. Vì vậy, bất kỳ diễn biến bất ổn nào tại khu vực này đều có thể tác động trực tiếp đến tâm lý thị trường.Tuy nhiên, phản ứng của giá dầu lần này tương đối hạn chế khi thị trường vẫn chịu sức ép từ triển vọng nguồn cung gia tăng. Sau khi Mỹ và Iran đạt được thỏa thuận ngừng bắn tạm thời, giá dầu Brent đã xóa gần như toàn bộ mức tăng do chiến sự gây ra. Nhà phân tích ngoại giao và quân sự Alexandru Hudisteanu nhận định: “Thị trường và các nước trong khu vực đều muốn sớm khép lại cuộc xung đột này. Việc giá dầu tăng trước đây phản ánh những khoảng trống và rủi ro mà thị trường lo ngại. Tuy nhiên, hiện nay niềm tin đang dần được củng cố rằng tình hình có thể ổn định trở lại và các bên sẽ đạt được một dạng thỏa thuận mang tính lâu dài hơn. Trong kịch bản tích cực nhất, điều đó sẽ tạo điều kiện để hoạt động vận tải và thương mại dần nối lại, hướng tới một trạng thái bình thường mới sau xung đột. Rõ ràng, các quốc gia trong khu vực cũng như phần còn lại của thế giới đều mong muốn thương mại được lưu thông tự do. Tuy nhiên, kết quả cuối cùng sẽ phụ thuộc vào diễn biến và các thỏa thuận đạt được trong thời gian tới."Trong khi đó, nhiều tổ chức tài chính, trong đó có Goldman Sachs và Morgan Stanley tiếp tục cảnh báo nguy cơ dư cung quay trở lại trong những tháng tới. Áp lực này càng gia tăng sau khi Saudi Aramco thông báo hạ giá bán chính thức đối với dầu Arab Light xuất khẩu sang châu Á trong tháng 8 xuống thấp hơn 1,5 USD/thùng so với giá chuẩn khu vực. Đây là một trong số ít lần Saudi Arabia áp dụng mức chiết khấu lớn kể từ các giai đoạn cạnh tranh thị phần vào các năm 2015 và 2020. Các chuyên gia nhận định việc Aramco giảm giá bán phản ánh kỳ vọng giá dầu sẽ tiếp tục điều chỉnh theo xu hướng thị trường. Theo đó, OPEC+ có thể sẽ đẩy mạnh sản xuất nhằm bổ sung nguồn cung, qua đó đưa giá dầu về quanh ngưỡng 60 USD/thùng trong thời gian tới.Ở chiều ngược lại, yếu tố địa chính trị vẫn tiếp tục phủ bóng lên thị trường. Dù căng thẳng giữa Mỹ và Iran đã phần nào hạ nhiệt, tiến trình đàm phán giữa hai bên vẫn chưa đạt được đột phá. Tổng thống Donald Trump hôm qua tuyên bố Mỹ hoặc sẽ đạt được một thỏa thuận với Iran hoặc sẽ “hoàn thành nốt công việc”. Ông đồng thời cảnh báo khả năng sử dụng biện pháp quân sự nếu đàm phán không đạt kết quả. Iran ngay lập tức bác bỏ những tuyên bố trên, khẳng định nước Cộng hòa Hồi giáo sẽ đáp trả nếu tiếp tục bị đe dọa../.Thu Hoài/VOV1Các tàu thuyền tại eo biển Hormuz

VOV1 - Đúng như lo ngại của giới phân tích, cuộc đàm phán kỹ thuật mới giữa Mỹ và Iran vẫn chưa thể diễn ra. Iran tối 29/6 bác bỏ thông tin vòng đối thoại kỹ thuật mới với Mỹ được tổ chức tại Doha, Qatar trong ngày 30/6.Tuyên bố bác bỏ thông tin về vòng đàm phán kỹ thuật mới Mỹ - Iran sẽ diễn ra tại Qatar ngày 30/6, được Thứ trưởng Ngoại giao Iran Kazem Gharibabadi đưa ra tối qua. Ông Gharibabadi khẳng định chưa có bất kỳ một kế hoạch nào được thống nhất liên quan tổ chức vòng đối thoại kỹ thuật mới Mỹ-Iran trong tuần này. Quan chức Iran cho biết nước này và Qatar vẫn đang thảo luận về vấn đề việc thực thi các cam kết của Mỹ theo thỏa thuận sơ bộ. Đàm phán kỹ thuật sẽ chỉ được tổ chức khi đáp ứng các điều kiện cần thiết, với thời gian và địa điểm diễn ra được cả hai phía thống nhất.   Tuyên bố của Thứ trưởng Ngoại giao Iran đưa ra chỉ ít giờ sau khi người phát ngôn Nhà Trắng Mỹ Karoline Leavitt thông báo với hãng Fox News rằng các đặc phái viên của Tổng thống Donald Trump là Steve Witkoff và Jared Kushner, sẽ đến Doha để tiến hành cuộc đối thoại cấp cao với Iran, song song với các cuộc thảo luận kỹ thuật giữa hai bên trong ngày 30/6.   Theo truyền thông và giới phân tích khu vực, việc Mỹ và Iran tiếp tục phát đi thông điệp bất nhất về vấn đề đàm phán cũng như nhiều nội dung khác liên quan trong thỏa thuận sơ bộ mà hai bên đã k‎ý ngày 17/6, làm gia tăng hoài nghi về tính khả thi của thỏa thuận sơ bộ cũng tổng thể tiến trình hòa đàm Mỹ-Iran. Trong đó, một số phân tích cảnh báo rằng sự mơ hồ liên quan vấn đề eo biển Hormuz có thể tiếp tục làm bùng phát những tranh cãi căng thẳng và đụng độ nghiêm trọng trên thực địa giữa hai bên, đến mức có thể khiến toàn bộ thỏa thuận sụp đổ.Eo biển Hormuz thuộc điều khoản thứ 5 trong bản ghi nhớ sơ bộ 14 điểm mà Mỹ và Iran đạt được thống nhất hôm 14/6 và k‎ý kết sau đó 3 ngày. Tuy nhiên, cho đến nay, hai bên vẫn đang diễn giải nội dung này rất khác biệt, thậm chí trái ngược nhau. Phía Mỹ nhất quyết khẳng định eo Hormuz phải được mở lại hoàn toàn và không thu phí. Trong khi đó, Iran tuyên bố dứt khoát rằng tuyến vận tải qua eo Hormuz chỉ được mở miễn phí trong 60 ngày, tức trong thời gian hai bên tiến hành đàm phán. Hơn thế, việc lưu thông qua khu vực này phải tuân theo lộ trình do Iran chỉ định.Sự thiếu thống nhất về quan điểm, cộng với việc xảy ra các vụ tấn công tàu hàng tại eo biển Hormuz trong các ngày 25 và 27/6, đã dẫn đến màn các đối đầu hỏa lực ác liệt trở lại giữa các lực lượng Mỹ và Iran trong các ngày 26 đến 28/6. Với xu hướng leo thang này, giới phân tích cho rằng nếu đàm phán tiếp tục bế tắc, kịch bản ngừng bắn đổ vỡ và xung đột bùng phát trở lại, chỉ còn là vấn đề thời gian./.Bá Thi/ VOV Ai CậpẢnh minh họa

Applications, such as Copilot certified agents, are contextually surfaced directly within Microsoft products to meet users in their flow of work. Customers are making massive Azure commitments, and purchasing full software stacks through the marketplace retires those commitments entirely. Cloud marketplaces have evolved from a secondary channel into the default go-to-market engine with triple-digit revenue growth. Partners must shift from deal-led transactions to product-led growth by optimizing their digital marketplace listings for AI and search engines. The future of software procurement will increasingly involve AI agents acting on behalf of organizations to seamlessly integrate multiple smaller applications.

Just edit the video right there yourself. Like why do you have to just go do the, as a marketer you want to create a beautiful piece of content, just go and create it. ’cause it can create it for you. Now [00:00:13] Jon Yoo: you can feel it happening. The ecosystem is shifting beneath us, the way Hyperscalers are partnering. [00:00:19] Jon Yoo: How AI is remaking the channel and what it means to win in 2026. [00:00:25] Vince Menzione: Welcome to The Ultimate Partner Podcast. I’m Vince Manzione, your host. [00:00:30] Jon Yoo: We just wrapped up two days in Bellevue with some of the sharpest partner leaders in the business, and what we heard wasn’t incremental, it was tectonic. In this series, we’re going deeper into these conversations, the insights, the frameworks, the real movement we’re seeing in this market right now, because being in the room changes everything and we’re bringing that room to you. [00:00:55] Vince Menzione: And I am thrilled actually for this next one. Uh, I’ve had this opportunity to spend a little bit of time with this gentleman before, and welcoming him back is a pleasure and an honor. Cyril Beov, the vice president. I’m gonna botch up your title ’cause I always say marketplaces, but it’s much more than that. [00:01:14] Vince Menzione: So come on up, zero. And we’re gonna have a conversation and Cyril is amongst other things at Microsoft. Good to see you, sir. Yeah, [00:01:24] Cyril Belikoff: you too, [00:01:25] Vince Menzione: uh, is responsible for the, the Microsoft marketplace. [00:01:29] Cyril Belikoff: Are these your notes here? [00:01:30] Vince Menzione: These are, um, what is that? Yeah, these is gonna be our, our questions, so we, yeah, I, I need help sometimes so prompting, but, uh, so great to have you. [00:01:38] Vince Menzione: So just for purposes of title and context, ’cause your role is much bigger than just marketplace. Yeah. And we’re, we’re gonna sit down and John, is this me? Yes. And then John’s gonna join us. [00:01:47] Cyril Belikoff: Okay. Great. [00:01:48] Joe, [00:01:48] Vince Menzione: well, we’re gonna get started and start having a conversation. And we’ve, we’ve done some of these things before. [00:01:53] Vince Menzione: I’ve, I’ve had, you had me on your stage Yes. In your event at Alyssa Taylor’s event. [00:01:57] Cyril Belikoff: Yes. [00:01:58] Vince Menzione: And then, uh, we’ve, we’ve done some nice things together on stage, both at, at our event in Redmond last year. Yes. Then at our big, uh, ignite breakfast back [00:02:07] Cyril Belikoff: and forth, we had Vince come to our wider org and sort of, uh, I got to do the reverse. [00:02:13] Cyril Belikoff: And so interview him in front of a bunch of, uh, 500 marketers on what do we have to think about for partners. And so he gave us sort of the what’s going on in the partner ecosystem, how to think about it as we think about it, our marketing. [00:02:26] Vince Menzione: And I tried to be candid and represent this group. [00:02:28] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah, that’s great. [00:02:29] Yeah. [00:02:30] Vince Menzione: Was wonderful. Thank you for doing that. [00:02:31] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. [00:02:32] Vince Menzione: You, you work, you work in an amazing organization. Um, I’ve known Alyssa for many years as well, and you’re an incredible leader. And I just, I wanna frame this maybe with a conversation about, ’cause we’re gonna talk about what’s changed, but, but I think it’s still important for everybody in the room to understand what you did and what your team orchestrated around market. [00:02:52] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah, [00:02:52] Vince Menzione: because it was fragmented, it was in different organizations, it felt very dis disorganized, I guess. Yeah. For lack of a better word. [00:02:59] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. Thank you. Um, essentially we took it from incubation Island to the mainland Microsoft. I love it. Uh, GTM [00:03:07] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:03:07] Cyril Belikoff: Is the simplest way to think about it. Um, and, uh, come September last year now, uh, we unified the, the, the, the many marketplaces. [00:03:19] Cyril Belikoff: Uh, whether it was an Azure marketplace or AppSource and others, and we created the new Microsoft marketplace. Yeah. So one single place for customers to come, discover, try, buy, and for partners, software companies and other NSIs to put their wares up. And, uh, it was the first step in a vision for us to create this digital flywheel for us to bring our customers and our partners together in a more, you know, automated way. [00:03:47] Vince Menzione: Which it, it sounds crazy when you think about it, right? Microsoft has always been like the partnership leader, the leader in the technology, and to have fragmented marketplaces before, right? Yeah. And so what clarity to bring that all together. [00:04:00] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. It was a big, it was a big step for us and I think what we realized is that customers and partners were saying, Hey, uh, it’s all one place. [00:04:07] Cyril Belikoff: If I’m looking for a SaaS application or an agent or, and plug into teams or whatever it is. I just want to get it all in one spot. Uh, and, uh, and then we need you to connect us to your channel. [00:04:21] Vince Menzione: Yes. [00:04:21] Cyril Belikoff: Uh, and your partners and, uh, can you build out, you know, partner capabilities for that Connects channel to software companies, to, to customers in a digital flywheel way. [00:04:30] Cyril Belikoff: Um, one of the things we actually also announced at that time was this concept of what we call. The marketplace framework. So it’s not just the fact that we have this digital experience or web experience, but that, um, applications that go into the marketplace, depending on the type of applications they get contextually surfaced within Microsoft products. [00:04:53] Vince Menzione: Okay. [00:04:53] Cyril Belikoff: And so if you’re, [00:04:54] Vince Menzione: explain that for this Yeah. For me and for this crap. [00:04:57] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. So if you are a, um, if you’re a co-pilot certified agent. M 365 copilot agent, you’ll be in the marketplace, but you’ll also be automatically surfaced inside the M 365 copilot, um, product. [00:05:11] Vince Menzione: Nice. [00:05:12] Cyril Belikoff: Same for, uh, large language models in foundry, add-ins in teams, those sort of things. [00:05:18] Cyril Belikoff: ’cause it’s one thing to be where people go to discover Tribu, but users also go into these stores, whether it’s a developer user or an end user. They go in the flow of their work and they want to move quickly. Yes. And so, uh, so they have access. We think that’s very attractive. And the feedback was, Hey, that’s quite differentiated. [00:05:35] Cyril Belikoff: ’cause we have, uh, hundreds of millions of customers in these products every day. [00:05:39] Vince Menzione: Yes. [00:05:39] Cyril Belikoff: And so giving our customers access, our partners access to it and improving their customer experience, um, has worked out well. [00:05:47] Vince Menzione: And something else you did too, because at one point, you know, we were talking about co-selling and single-threaded. [00:05:53] Vince Menzione: And Microsoft has this incredible ecosystem and channel. [00:05:57] Cyril Belikoff: Yes. [00:05:58] Vince Menzione: And it, it was totally disconnected from the whole marketplace strategy, right? Yes. Yeah. [00:06:03] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. So we, uh, um, we launched, I think in, uh, sorry. At that time in September, we launched five of our largest distributors who were also federating the Microsoft marketplace into their marketplaces. [00:06:16] Cyril Belikoff: And then in the November timeframe at Microsoft Ignite, we launched resale enabled offer [00:06:23] Vince Menzione: RO, [00:06:23] Cyril Belikoff: which is REO, which is a new capability that is proven extremely popular, that connects the software company and the reseller, you know, um, to go and do more deals at scale faster. So [00:06:36] Vince Menzione: we have, we have four of the Es in the room, [00:06:38] Cyril Belikoff: right? [00:06:38] Vince Menzione: Some of the four at the top. Five or six. And then also one of your largest resellers software, one is here as well. [00:06:45] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. Great. [00:06:46] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:06:47] Cyril Belikoff: Great. So it’s, uh, we’ve been busy. [00:06:48] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:06:49] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. Like I said, um, uh, much more work to do. But we are moving from like this incubation project to mainland get it integrated into our core customer, go to market, uh, so that our, uh, software companies and partners have access to those customers. [00:07:03] Cyril Belikoff: And then integration, uh, with the channel. So [00:07:06] Vince Menzione: it’s been a lot happening these last 12 months. Uh. Then Frontier, let’s talk about Frontier. That’s another piece of this. [00:07:14] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. I’m sure Steven touched on, uh, frontier Transformational or becoming Frontier or Frontier Firm. So probably not helpful to me rehash that. [00:07:23] Cyril Belikoff: I think in general. If you go to a Microsoft discussion or session and you don’t hear about frontier or Frontier transformation, please like, raise your hand and give feedback because that is, um, [00:07:34] Vince Menzione: I kept away from the word frontier with Steve. We were talking about it, but we weren’t using the term frontier. [00:07:38] Vince Menzione: Yeah. ’cause I feel like it gets overused. It’s, [00:07:40] Cyril Belikoff: yeah, it does. It’s, it’s sort of, um, what we try to do with it is articulate it in a way that it’s not just about AI for AI’s sake. [00:07:48] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:07:48] Cyril Belikoff: But it’s AI based on what the customer outcome is trying to, what the customer is trying to achieve on their outcome. Um, and so as part of that, of course, you know, agents, AI applications is a big part of what’s driving customers’ capability of, uh, to become frontier. [00:08:05] Cyril Belikoff: And, uh, the marketplace is part of that. ’cause they can either custom build that. Uh, or they can, you know, buy off the shelf, right? Uh, or, and actually in Combin they do mostly they do both, right? And so, um, in order to accelerate their ability to become more frontier, we have these, uh, partners that build, uh, third party solutions through a marketplace. [00:08:27] Cyril Belikoff: And then, uh, uh, those same partners or others that build bespoke solutions around that. So, um, a lot of momentum around, uh, AI apps and agencies, as you can imagine. Um, we have, I think, 5,000 plus AI apps and agents. [00:08:43] Vince Menzione: I was gonna ask you what you’re focused on now, but you, I think you’re tying into this now already. [00:08:47] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. Um, so of course that’s important. [00:08:50] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:08:50] Cyril Belikoff: But really for us it’s about doubling down on driving customer, customer demand. How do we merchandise the right things that customers are looking for? How do we, uh, accelerate any of our flows? Like we will spend hours just looking at like the flow of one scenario. [00:09:07] Cyril Belikoff: Where is it getting stuck? How do we improve it? Um, and then how do we connect it to the channel? And, and what, what more things can we do like EO or multi-party private offers and the like, and we have. Probably an announcement a month in the next three or four months. [00:09:24] Vince Menzione: Oh, come on. Let’s, [00:09:24] Cyril Belikoff: that will, [00:09:25] Vince Menzione: I know, I know it’s early. [00:09:26] Vince Menzione: I know it’s early, but you, you’ve got some, I know you’ve got some things. Think [00:09:29] Cyril Belikoff: about the customer experience. Think about the channel integration and dream about [00:09:33] Vince Menzione: what maybe more of a global scale with some of the offerings, maybe, maybe. Um, so, you know, I, so I, the earnings, we talked about the earnings with Steven, but I thought that there was a very compelling number around the commitment number. [00:09:46] Vince Menzione: Yes. You and you run your Azure as part of your remit. We didn’t go through your entire remit. [00:09:50] Cyril Belikoff: Yep. [00:09:51] Vince Menzione: It’s not just marketplace. You also, you also own the Azure number. [00:09:53] Cyril Belikoff: Yep. [00:09:54] Vince Menzione: Let’s talk about that. [00:09:55] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. Um. You know, it’s, it’s exciting times for customers. They want to do things not only with us, but with everyone in the room. [00:10:04] Cyril Belikoff: Um, and they are making very large commitments, huge commitments over the next two to three years to spend on Azure. Um, and so it’s now our joint jobs to go and help them identify the right business outcome and go and, you know, consume that commitment. It is just a commitment. It’s not actual. Consumption. [00:10:27] Cyril Belikoff: Yes. And so it’s all of our jobs to take advantage of that. The, the customers are saying, Hey, we have line of sight to the types of things we want to go do over the next two to three years. Uh, probably not everything is, you know, i’s dotted and t’s across, but they have line of sight to most of it. Um, and how do we go help them drive that? [00:10:46] Cyril Belikoff: Um, and so from an Azure perspective, obviously that’s very encouraging for us. It, it allows us to. Invest in more data centers and more capacity that we are doing as fast as we can. Um, and then, um, and then of course on marketplace, the marketplace can retire. [00:11:04] Vince Menzione: That’s [00:11:04] Cyril Belikoff: that Azure commitment. That’s, [00:11:05] Vince Menzione: I wanted to make sure [00:11:06] Cyril Belikoff: people understand that the, in fact, not only the Azure component from the marketplace, but the full software stack from the partner, uh, the software company retires the Azure commitment. [00:11:17] Cyril Belikoff: So if it’s. Uh, I’ll make it up if it’s, uh, a hundred bucks and it’s 50 50, it’s not 50 50, but, um, I won’t disclose any percentages, but let’s say it’s 50 50, it’s much more for the software company, by the way. Um, if it’s 50 50, it’s not just like the $50 for Azure that gets retired. It’s the entire a hundred dollars that gets retired on the customer commitment, commitment, which is great for the software company. [00:11:39] Cyril Belikoff: It’s also great for the customer that they can, you know. Bring that through, uh, to, uh, to their Azure commitment. And we do the same thing with our sellers. So the marketplace sales retire our sellers compensation. So we’re like checking every box so that there’s no friction in the system. So that, so the partner, the customer, our sellers, they’re all juiced to go and. [00:12:03] Cyril Belikoff: Deals with marketplace. [00:12:04] Vince Menzione: I, I hope everybody un understand. I mean, I understand this. I hope everybody else understand this too. ’cause I, I was, watch, you know, I, I, I watched LinkedIn and I see people post things and somebody made a comment about how difficult it was to use Microsoft Portal. And I was thinking to myself, do you realize that there’s, I’ll say 150 billion, but it’s probably a bigger number than that. [00:12:22] Vince Menzione: That’s a total addressable market available to you if you’re a Microsoft partner. You can access these customer commitments. [00:12:30] Cyril Belikoff: Oh yes. [00:12:30] Vince Menzione: If you bring your product on Mark over 400 now [00:12:32] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. [00:12:33] Vince Menzione: You bring your product into the marketplace, you have access and the customer can retire that commitment. [00:12:38] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. [00:12:39] Vince Menzione: Without having to justify a new cost justification. [00:12:41] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. They don’t have to go to procurement. They don’t have to. Yeah. [00:12:44] Vince Menzione: Yeah. I mean, it’s a huge opportunity. [00:12:46] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. [00:12:46] Vince Menzione: So, um, so you’ve been focused on quite a bit. We wanted to invite John on stage. [00:12:53] Cyril Belikoff: Great. [00:12:53] Vince Menzione: John, you from Sugar is here. Where’s John? Is John in the house? Where’s John? [00:12:57] Cyril Belikoff: There he is. [00:12:58] Vince Menzione: Who’s also an expert in Marketplace. [00:13:00] Vince Menzione: A great friend of Ultimate Partner. Great. Hey, how’s it going? He’s a great partner of Ultimate Partner. Great to see you, sir. All the way from San Fran. Oh, actually we’re on your side of the coast, so, uh, it’s long. He looks [00:13:12] Jon Yoo: cooler than us [00:13:12] Vince Menzione: though. He, he always looks cool. I said that about time. [00:13:15] Jon Yoo: You know, I gotta be comfortable. [00:13:16] Jon Yoo: I gotta be comfortable. [00:13:18] Vince Menzione: So John, good to, good to have you. You’re thanks for having us. You guys are like, every time I see a post from you, you’re moving into a new office space ’cause you’ve outgrown your office space. [00:13:26] Jon Yoo: Yeah, we’re, we’re really excited about the new office. We have hvac, which is a, a big, big, uh, it’s a big thing. [00:13:31] Jon Yoo: Improvements, high ceilings, you know, the whole works h help [00:13:36] Cyril Belikoff: sometimes. Yeah, [00:13:37] Jon Yoo: yeah, yeah, yeah. We, we have our, uh, office opening party if anyone’s an SF on Ally first. [00:13:41] Vince Menzione: Nice. Nice. Yeah. May, may, May 21st. May 21st. That’s right. Well, so, so you’ve been, you’ve had like a front row seat to all of this. I would love to get your perspective on what you’re seeing across partners and what’s changed over the last 12 months. [00:13:55] Jon Yoo: Yeah, so, uh, for those that don’t know, um, sugar is a, uh, a revenue platform for cloud marketplaces and co-selling. Um, so we partner very closely with Microsoft as well as either hyperscalers and other marketplaces like Snowflake, Alibaba, et cetera. And what we, what, what I’m seeing is a couple things. One marketplace is becoming a default to go to market engine. [00:14:17] Jon Yoo: So, you know, I think a lot of people see the stats about how the, the GMV, so, you know, the, the throughput through these marketplaces have been doubling. We’re seeing that in our data as well. So we’re seeing triple digit revenue growth from marketplaces. We’re seeing companies who, you know, maybe the earlier end of marketplaces were infra platform layer of software that used to really adopt it. [00:14:37] Jon Yoo: Now you’re seeing. You know, explosion in a business application layer of companies as well. And so that’s super exciting. I’d say the second piece is channel players are getting more and more involved. Um, I think, you know, I’m the Silicon Valley SaaS bubble, uh, or the AI bubble, so to speak. And I didn’t know as much about the channel world and even these big AI companies. [00:14:59] Jon Yoo: I mean, you’re seeing unprecedented, unprecedented demand, uh, for these, you know, LMS or these AI biz apps. And despite that, they are really working with a partner ecosystem because you’re realizing that most of the world do not really know how to adopt ai. Yeah. And they’re really leaning on expertise. [00:15:18] Jon Yoo: And these AI companies, AI native companies, are looking to channel partners who have these. You know, relationships with their end buyers on how to deliver change managements, how to deliver enablement, not just a system integration site. [00:15:32] Vince Menzione: And they’re also looking to the platform or platforms in the case, Microsoft here also. [00:15:36] Vince Menzione: Right. Which, because like what, where am I gonna do just go out and buy philanthropic or Claude or whatever? I need that to be integrated into my enterprise as well. Right, exactly. [00:15:46] Jon Yoo: So we’re definitely seeing like more adoption of Microsoft Foundry, for example, as people think about security and governance and whatnot. [00:15:52] Vince Menzione: Yeah. Very cool. Any comments on, on? [00:15:55] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah, that makes absolute sense. It’s, uh, um, you know, lots of layers to AI from data. The a, the AI layer itself, the application layer, uh, and innovations happening at all of those pieces of the stack. Um, and so when a software company is trying to, you know, uh, modernize their thought process or build new. [00:16:19] Cyril Belikoff: They ha they have to think about all of those components. Foundry obviously is the AI layer and it provides them with capability to be agile and move quickly and do compliance and, and snap into an organization’s, um, architecture. But it’s the same applies to data, like how it’s fine to have AI but doesn’t, doesn’t do anything without data. [00:16:40] Vince Menzione: Right. [00:16:40] Cyril Belikoff: And so then how do they get data in the cloud? Um, uh, [00:16:44] Vince Menzione: and then how do you security [00:16:45] Cyril Belikoff: govern and govern, right? And how you secure govern, you know, all those sort of things. So obviously we have first party experiences, but they have partners with, um, their own solutions. They’re built on top of, [00:16:53] Vince Menzione: yeah. [00:16:53] Cyril Belikoff: Those Microsoft layers. And, uh, you know, like John says, lots of momentum. [00:16:58] Vince Menzione: So let’s talk about the maturity curve. Like walk us through it. Where do you see partners in this room sitting today? And what does it take to move for them to move to the next stage? Like, what would be your guidance for, for this group? [00:17:11] Jon Yoo: So, you know, we, we work across the entire spectrum of companies. You know, we work with the, the largest enterprises who’ve done billions through these marketplaces like Snowflake, workday, to leading AI companies like Glean or OpenAI, uh, to earlier stage startups who are completely new to marketplaces and really look for, for guidance around what do I do in my first 90 days? [00:17:33] Jon Yoo: How do I get the attention of Microsoft sellers, or how do I. Optimize my marketplace operations so that we can be discovered, uh, really easily on Microsoft Marketplace and others. And the, the way that I think about it is companies first come on, because it is buyer driven oftentimes. So, I mean, that’s just the truth of the nature of you have these big enterprises that want to, you know, burn down their Mac agreements, for example, and that’s how they get started. [00:17:59] Jon Yoo: And or a, a as like this whole space maturing, you’re seeing. A new CRO come in and they’ve done this at X, Y, Z companies and they want to bring that playbook over. But then as they start to do a couple deals through these marketplaces, they think, and this is start of the the flywheel, right? Hey, what do I need for co-selling? [00:18:19] Jon Yoo: And there are systems, you know, integrations and playbooks that need to be done well. Once you do have co-selling figured out, how do I now know which opportunities to co-sell? So we have things like intense signals to be able to. Help them, you know, help overlay a cloud, go to market lens over your existing pipeline. [00:18:36] Jon Yoo: And then now it becomes less of a partnership initiative and actually elevates up to the CRO initiative. And across each of those, um, layers, uh, you have different automation needs because once you actually start to get the flywheel going, it becomes. Holy crap. Now I’m doing 10, 20, 30, 50% of my revenue through these market, you know, through, through marketplace. [00:18:58] Jon Yoo: And it’s creating different data pipelines of work to be done. And now I have to figure out my finance angle of how do I do revenue recognition through these indirect channels. And so that, that, that is kind of the maturity covers. I think about it when you try to retrofit like, uh, all the automation up front, it doesn’t go as well. [00:19:16] Jon Yoo: You have to do a crawl, walk, run approach so that you can also build and bring the rest of the organization with you. So if I look at ’em to the, you know, there’s some familiar faces, some folks that probably are wondering some new faces [00:19:28] Vince Menzione: as well. [00:19:29] Jon Yoo: Yeah. What, what Microsoft marketplace or what marketplace even is. [00:19:33] Jon Yoo: I’d probably say people are in that transformation bucket of, Hey, I’ve done a couple of deals, we’re in this early stages of co-selling. Now I, now I gotta figure out how to supercharge it because this is kind of the future, you know, we can talk more about agenta commerce and whatnot, but, um, I think a lot of people are figuring it out than looking for. [00:19:51] Jon Yoo: For guidance here, [00:19:53] Vince Menzione: zero. [00:19:55] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. You know, I would say, um, I’ll get what I call tactical yet strategic. [00:20:01] Vince Menzione: Okay. [00:20:01] Cyril Belikoff: Which just think about product-led growth. Yeah. Just think about, uh, similar to the consumer world, if you wanna sell something, you need search engine optimization. If you are thinking about these marketplaces and Microsoft marketplace being one, how are you optimizing your listing so that when a user goes into like the search bar, it’s optimized to bring back the results that make sense to you? [00:20:29] Cyril Belikoff: I think historically we’ve had scenarios where some partners have used the marketplace primarily as like a transaction thing. They’ve done the deal, but then they’re transacted on the marketplace ’cause they wanna retire the the Azure commitment. And that is changing to be sort of product led and marketplace led, uh, versus deal led. [00:20:49] Cyril Belikoff: Uh, but you cannot have a generic one line sentence in your listing. You will not be surfaced unless the customer literally knows your name and will search for you. You’ll not be surfaced if they search for a particular category healthcare app that does something right. And if that’s your thing, you should have the right keywords, you have the right images, have the right videos, and we believed in it so much. [00:21:14] Cyril Belikoff: We actually built a listing optimization AI tool that will auto look at your listing. And based on our best practices, and we know what our search engine is doing, we will make recommendations to you on how to improve. Listing. And so it’s not like a read a document as a best practice. It actually will be an ai, uh, customized tool for your particular listing. [00:21:37] Cyril Belikoff: So lean into those types of things, you know, to, as John says, says, think about the digital flow. This over time will become much more of your, of your business. So make sure you’re thinking about, you know, if someone’s on the marketplace and they decide to trial something for you, how, how are you following up? [00:21:56] Cyril Belikoff: Like, how do you take the next steps? Um, maybe you, maybe you working with a reseller and you don’t have your own sellers, but how do you wiring that into your resellers so your resellers are following up? Or if you have your own sellers, you know, your own sellers are doing it. So you have to sort of digitize your thinking on sales and marketing in this new market, commercial marketplace world, versus in the same way we would’ve done in like the consumer marketplace on Amazon or, you know, um, as you search something on Google. [00:22:26] Cyril Belikoff: Maybe bing. Um, so, um, yeah, yeah. This [00:22:29] Vince Menzione: size. B Come on, come on. [00:22:31] Cyril Belikoff: I [00:22:31] Vince Menzione: had bing. [00:22:32] Cyril Belikoff: Um, [00:22:33] Jon Yoo: I do wanna double click on that, which is when, when we, you know, I talk about like, hey, a lot of it’s buyer driven. A lot of people think about private offers, but then the marketplace offers. But the reality actually, when we look at the data is that there’s a lot more self-service [00:22:46] Vince Menzione: correct [00:22:47] Jon Yoo: offers than there are what they call private offers. [00:22:50] Jon Yoo: So where there’s deal led and that, that, that, that shift. It’s super exciting to see where now these marketplaces are becoming where buyers or users go to discover new products. Let alone, you know, in the future where let’s say there’s an AI agent that has some reward seeking function, and in order to do its job, it needs to go purchase a tool marketplace might be the channel where this happens, which is all the reason why that your listing does need to be optimized. [00:23:16] Jon Yoo: So that one, the agent knows exactly what your tool does and it can match against. Reward. And then second, you have to win the a EO race, right? Yeah. Of, of how you show up in these AI engines. So just wanted to double click on how important that is. Yeah. [00:23:31] Cyril Belikoff: Makes, makes total sense. And we’re, we’re seeing that shift from private office to having a public listed price and a, a public offer as well. [00:23:39] Cyril Belikoff: And so we’re, we’re ourselves investing in our own marketing demand generation. Just in the last three to four months because we’ve seen that taking off and as soon as we saw the signal, we’re like, oh, we should pour fuel on that fire. Because if, if we see organically customers don’t do it, we should, you know, we should go after that and help them understand that we’re here. [00:23:58] Cyril Belikoff: And, uh, if it’s working for some that are doing it by themselves, it’ll work for others and we’re seeing really, really good results. Um, so yeah, get your listing optimized. Think about your digital flows. As John says, the flows of the future are probably agentic wise, maybe not even a human coming to the Microsoft marketplace. [00:24:17] Cyril Belikoff: So you gotta be thinking, not now, it’s okay. You have time. Um, but in the future, you know, six months from now, that quite easily is a scenario. So you really have to start thinking about those, uh, those, uh, digital flows. [00:24:29] Vince Menzione: Yeah. It’s so insightful. Well, it’s what you call product led growth, basically. Yes. And agent led growth. [00:24:35] Vince Menzione: Yes. Right. In some respects. So this is where like we need to think about that. The future model where the agent comes in and actually does the purchasing. We’re not there yet, are we? [00:24:45] Jon Yoo: No. With some products, you know, um, especially, especially if it’s like developer tools. We’re starting to see some of that, but, uh, no one’s gonna buy a cybersecurity solution. [00:24:55] Jon Yoo: Um, that’s seven figures or an agent’s not gonna do that. Right. But the eng the, the search functions are a little bit changing. [00:25:03] Vince Menzione: Yeah. So a lot of ai, you know, we had Steven Boyle on earlier, we were talking about ai, AI natives, you know, that’s Jason Grey’s organization does a lot of work in that area. How do these organizations need to think and act and how do they leverage the cloud marketplaces? [00:25:17] Vince Menzione: Or how do le how do marketplaces fit into the equation? ’cause most of them are coming from a different like paradigm or mindset. [00:25:24] Jon Yoo: I mean, uh, it’s like the number one question, you know, I’ll give a little personal story of like, I get a lot of parking tickets, uh, and I don’t know how to pay off my late fees. [00:25:34] Jon Yoo: So we set up a little open claw that will actually go and ask me questions, and it actually pays off my parking tickets on my behalf. Um, so, so, so, you know, on the other hand, like there, there’s layers to it, right? It could be like layer one, I ask ai, Hey, how do I pay off my parking tickets? Layer two could be. [00:25:52] Jon Yoo: Hey, you know, what’s the best way for me to structure my cadence to pay off the parking tickets? And then layer three is like, Hey, AI, proactively check if I have parking tickets and go pay it on my behalf. Here’s my credit card information, you know, stored in a secure vault. So, uh, what, what I mean by a native as a company bring that analogy is, uh, bringing it at its core. [00:26:12] Jon Yoo: So like a little for, for sugar. We’ve spent the past six months optimizing around our entire, like company brain where we are storing all the context. To a singular, singular place that is queryable, that there’s no coordination tax between teams. Our entire product development process actually is automated where we have multiple agents debating one another, PRDs to code generation, code review, uh, you know, security, qa, et cetera, et cetera. [00:26:40] Jon Yoo: And then there’s humans in the loop across the process. So I would actually think about when we, when we fit that into, into marketplaces, it’s not just thinking about who’s going to send the offers or who’s gonna do the co-sell, or who’s gonna X, Y, Z, but how do you bring all that together so that your sales reps and your partnership person and Microsoft all has to share context in a given deal and it’s done automatically without, you know, back office folks having to update what partner led or partner influence means and reporting things in a, in an old way. [00:27:11] Jon Yoo: So it’s almost re-imagining. Entire workflow, given everyone should have open context of what’s going on in a given deal. So let’s say maybe a hand wavy way of answering that question. Yeah. But it does mean that we should be re-imagining, uh, what the job to be done is, uh, very fundamentally [00:27:28] Vince Menzione: cy, how are you thinking about it since you’re building the, the, the toolkit at Microsoft? [00:27:32] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah. Um, yeah. Well, John says absolutely is right, particularly around marketplace and how that sort of flow and ecosystem will work. Um, in addition to that, it’s. Not only about how marketplace or about developers ’cause the developer, uh, scenario or persona was the first globally to see the value of AI and agents in the flow of their work. [00:27:55] Cyril Belikoff: It was the first to like, oh, one developer can now do much more. I can be empowered, I can build agents to work on my behalf. I can, uh, I can be an architect instead of a hands-on coder. Right. It’s changed the profile of what developers do exactly what. Uh, John mentioned what he’s doing himself. That’s just one profile of a user. [00:28:17] Cyril Belikoff: Th there are many other profiles. A sales person, a marketer, a uh, CFO team, hr. Each of these are literally going through the same transformation. They’re one beat behind developers because developers, you know, was really tech enabled and tech stack driven, and the, and the opportunity was, was obvious quite quickly. [00:28:39] Cyril Belikoff: These are coming really quickly. This is not like the internet adoption cycle that took many multiple years. This is like, we’re talking months. So, and even inside Microsoft, we have our own, what we call, uh, frontier Marketing Internal Initiative to re, um, rewire marketers and how they go about their daily job and stop doing it this way and do it this way. [00:29:04] Cyril Belikoff: Just pick up M 365 copilot with. Coworking Claude, uh, embedded and just go do the work. Why do you have to outsource this or create this? Just edit the video right there yourself. Like, why do you have to just go do the, as a marketer you want to create a beautiful piece of content, just go and create it. [00:29:21] Cyril Belikoff: ’cause it can create it for you now. [00:29:22] Vince Menzione: Yeah, [00:29:23] Cyril Belikoff: three months ago, literally three months ago, it couldn’t do that. And so what is it gonna be in two months for a marketer or a salesperson or finance person? I mean, just co-pilot in Excel. What that is doing to the financial business is in, like if you, any financial person will tell you they live and breathe through in Excel, like it’s just, it’s their equivalent of, it runs [00:29:44] Vince Menzione: most businesses [00:29:44] Cyril Belikoff: their dev tool, right? [00:29:45] Cyril Belikoff: It’s their thing. It’s really [00:29:46] Vince Menzione: is. [00:29:47] Cyril Belikoff: So this is happening over and over again. Again, if you can package those things up and package a package, that piece of IP on a marketplace is, is not only gonna be a big system, it could be a very, very small piece of. Functionality in a flow for a marketer or a salesperson that is so valuable that can be solved many times on a marketplace. [00:30:08] Cyril Belikoff: And in many cases, everyone’s a software company at this point. Everybody can go and package something up. And so I would be stunned if we don’t see cross pollination from system integrators to channel partners, all just publishing on marketplaces based on, oh, I’ve done this thing four times. I cannot do it 400 times. [00:30:26] Cyril Belikoff: Let me just package it up and put it on a marketplace. So. Yeah, I’m sure you know, John alluded to that. It’s, there’s a lot of exciting times. [00:30:33] Vince Menzione: No, the future [00:30:33] Jon Yoo: is [00:30:33] Vince Menzione: great. What do you [00:30:34] Jon Yoo: totally, I mean, it’s, it’s a case of like, how do, what does being marketplace native also mean? [00:30:38] Cyril Belikoff: Yes. [00:30:38] Jon Yoo: You know, and not, I feel like I’ve seen so many people just use it as a, Hey, we’re opportunistically there and if we get some leads out of it, great. [00:30:45] Jon Yoo: Or if there’s some deals, great, but they’re not really leaning in and being marketplace native the way, you know, and right now there’s, this might be uncomfortable, but there’s no excuses. You know, like creating a partner marketing content with your brand guidelines. It should not take so many time. Or it’s a 10 minute exercise. [00:31:02] Jon Yoo: Exactly. Exactly. Three [00:31:03] Cyril Belikoff: prompts. [00:31:05] Vince Menzione: It used to be that ops used to get involved because, oh, we, we know that they have a commitment. Let’s go run it through the marketplace. Right now, what you both have been suggesting here is it becomes a discoverable process. It becomes part of your normal go to market strategy, and you’re, you’re driving pr, product led growth and SEO and all the things you need to do running a a corporation and modern corporation today. [00:31:26] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah, [00:31:26] Vince Menzione: exactly. So, what’s the future like? Where, where do we go in 12 months with this? What do you think? What do you predict? We, we get out a Ouija board or a crystal ball here. What, what, what do we think? [00:31:38] Cyril Belikoff: I think more broadly in the industry, you’re gonna, some of the scenarios that John alluded to, agent to agent interactions, uh, many agents acting on behalf of humans and on behalf of organizations, uh, and doing. [00:31:55] Cyril Belikoff: Simple things and quite complex things. Uh, and those need to be, uh, managed carefully, uh, with, uh, the right, uh, engagements and built carefully. And in, in many cases, customers will look to partners that are quote unquote certified on, uh, uh, HyperCloud platform. Uh, as a way to get going quickly, but also get the, the quality that they need. [00:32:21] Cyril Belikoff: Um, and I think instead of buying this monolithic, massive application, I think we will see lots more of smaller applications being built that have cleaner open, uh, you know, MC, you know, MCP type agent interfaces that can just work together, uh, without, you know. More complicated integration work, [00:32:42] Vince Menzione: cobbled together your own solutions as opposed to big [00:32:45] Cyril Belikoff: monolithic [00:32:45] Vince Menzione: applications. [00:32:46] Cyril Belikoff: Yeah, there’ll be a much more agile, [00:32:48] Vince Menzione: yeah. [00:32:48] Cyril Belikoff: Uh, personalization. I mean, a lot of people saying SaaS is dead. It’s not quite dead. But I think that SaaS will get significantly more agile, more custom and more personal, uh, for, uh, for customers. [00:33:03] Jon Yoo: I, I would agree with that. Um, I mean, I’m biased, but I think marketplace are gonna be even more relevant than ever. [00:33:08] Jon Yoo: I mean, it’s already highly relevant, but, uh, as you, you know, I think in the past the, the narrative was, well, there’s a new generation of buyers and they’re millennials. They, they wanted, you know, uh, I always talk about consumer experience to B2B sales, you know, and, and now it’s like agents that’s that on steroids. [00:33:24] Jon Yoo: Um, but what I, you know, beyond that, I think, uh, there, there’s a lot of talk of like SAS apocalypse or software companies getting. Destroyed by, you know, the, the, the AI labs or SaaS is dead or whatever. I think SaaS is gonna, I mean, there’s gonna be way more software companies because the cost to build is a lot easier. [00:33:46] Jon Yoo: That means that competition will be. Even more fierce than ever. And you have all these AI native companies that are coming out with a quicker time to market, quicker time to value, and they have some recursive loops that makes the product even that much better. Um, so what that means for everyone is like, one, you gotta go back to the, the core differentiations. [00:34:06] Jon Yoo: Or like in the past, maybe the, the time to build was the differentiation, but today it’s, or you know, there’s some other, obviously the core elements, but then there’s. Distribution. Yeah. So how do you partner with Microsoft, for example? How do you have your own self-improving like distribution model? That makes sense. [00:34:22] Jon Yoo: Marketplace being a huge component of that. Two is obviously there, there’s a piece of like network and data. That’s what we think about of hey, what makes our product better as more, more people use it. Um, because yeah, competition is crazy fierce and it finally goes into times deployment. That’s why you see these companies like. [00:34:41] Jon Yoo: Open AI anthropic that are competing for their enterprise, uh, pie. And instead of doing it themselves, they’re, I mean, I think OpenAI just did a joint venture of like $4.1 billion into the deployment company. Anthropics doing the same, they’re surrounding themselves with the ecosystem and channel is going to be more relevant than than ever, as long as you know how to enable AI services and know how to deliver on this technology to the, to the broader world. [00:35:07] Jon Yoo: And so. Channel awesome. Marketplace, awesome. You know, competition’s gonna be fierce. Success is not going anywhere. [00:35:16] Vince Menzione: Good conversation, gentlemen. [00:35:18] Jon Yoo: Awesome. [00:35:18] Vince Menzione: I’ve been told we’re over time. I wanted to open it up to questions. Um, but I do feel like we, yeah, I’ll get, I’ll get yelled at. But this was incredible. Um, some great, I mean, the, the pa it, it’s terrific to see. [00:35:36] Vince Menzione: How far we’ve come in, so shorter period of time, and it’s only gonna continue to get better. I think the one question I’ll have is like, what, what would hold any of these companies back at this point? It feels like it’s such a compelling reason we need to move forward. Is there, is there anything, like why would, why would we hold back? [00:35:54] Cyril Belikoff: Um, you know, some of the discussions we have, um, is about how to balance today’s world with tomorrow’s world a little bit. [00:36:01] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:36:02] Cyril Belikoff: Today’s business model with tomorrow’s business model, today’s financial results with tomorrow’s financial results. Um, and there are very different approaches to all of this. [00:36:13] Cyril Belikoff: Those AI natives, they’re like, there is no yesterday. There’s only tomorrow. Um, there those companies that realize they’re being threatened by AI natives and so they have to move quickly. Um, and, uh. Figure out a, a, a business model and then someone else who wants to do a bit of both and bridge into it. [00:36:32] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:36:32] Cyril Belikoff: Um, and just within that frame there are different ways to tackle it, whether it’s create two teams, one’s the future team, one’s the current team, and, you know, may the best team win, um, makes sense with the customer and that, uh, or, uh, give the, give the customer the choice and have the teams going together. [00:36:49] Cyril Belikoff: So there are lots of different approaches. [00:36:51] Vince Menzione: Right. So great to have you. Did you have some, did you have a comment to make on that? [00:36:55] Jon Yoo: Uh, no. Just, uh, unwillingness to lean in and learn something new. Yeah. [00:36:59] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:37:00] Jon Yoo: I’m, I’m, I’m much more in the burn all boats buckets. Yeah, [00:37:03] Vince Menzione: I know. Me too. [00:37:03] Jon Yoo: Of, uh, no, no old team and new team. [00:37:05] Jon Yoo: Just new team and you know, that’s just push forward. [00:37:07] Vince Menzione: Well, great to have two amazing leaders on stage with [00:37:10] Cyril Belikoff: us. Thanks [00:37:10] Vince Menzione: so [00:37:10] Cyril Belikoff: much. [00:37:10] Vince Menzione: So thank you [00:37:11] Jon Yoo: so much. Yeah, thank [00:37:11] Vince Menzione: you [00:37:15] Jon Yoo: so much. [00:37:16] Vince Menzione: Don’t forget. Ultimate Partner Live is coming soon, October 26th through October 28th in Reston, Virginia. I hope to see you there. [00:37:28] I.

Vanaf deze maand schrijft journalist en schrijver Ronit Palache wekelijks twee columns op pagina twee van het dagblad Trouw. Met haar pen en bespiegelingen hoopt ze hokjesdenken te doorbreken en lezers uit te nodigen met een open blik naar de wereld te kijken. Palache studeerde journalistiek en werkte onder meer voor uitgeverij Prometheus, Elsevier Weekblad, het Nieuw Israëlitisch Weekblad en was te zien in het EO-programma "Dit is de week". Daarnaast werkt ze aan een proefschrift over geloofsverlating in Nederland onder Christenen, Moslims en Joden. Presentatie: Jannekee Kuijper

“Is Catholicism a false church?” This question opens a discussion on the validity of Catholicism compared to Eastern Orthodoxy, particularly regarding changes in liturgy and fasting rules. The conversation also addresses whether first-century Christians prayed to saints and explores what Catholics believe about salvation in contrast to the “once saved, always saved” perspective. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 04:35 – Considering Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy. If the majority of bishops left the RCC, is that a sign they are a false church? Also, if Catholics changed liturgy/fasting rules while EO have been consistent, is that a sign they are a false church? 20:30 – How to Respond to the claim. Did first-century Christians pray to the saints? My protestant friend says it started in the third century. 31:05 – What do Catholics believe they have to do to be saved, and how do I respond to the once saved always saved belief? What are simple verses to refute that? 42:22 – Agnostic Brother Asked thinks Christianity is too Anthropocentric. He has a hard time believing that the universe was made for human beings primarily. 47:20 – Best Friend and brother want to convert to EO because of the filioque. How can I respond?

Started off with some comments about the childishness of many on line today, but spent most of our time on Eastern Orthodoxy and specifically thinking about a conversation Gavin Ortlund had with Jonathan Pageau, focusing on the Synod of Jerusalem. Then we began reading the Confession of Dositheus and we will continue that on the next program. Remember, I have been telling you the EO stuff was coming! But as we saw today, much of this conversation has tremendous meaning in other areas of theology and apologetics.

DOCKET ALERTS: Maryland became the ninth state to beat back a lawsuit from the DOJ's Civil Division seeking to seize its full, unredacted voter rolls.   In Massachusetts, a judge allowed states to proceed with a lawsuit to block an executive order requiring DHS to maintain a master list of voters and barring USPS from delivering mail-in ballots from anyone on the list.    DOOFUS OF THE DAY: Sixth Circuit Judge Amul Thapar, who was featured in a Bloomberg Law story about judges embarrassing themselves by trying to get nominated for SCOTUS if/when Justice Alito announces his retirement in July. Thapar, who is 56, started a Substack to talk about how his fitness regimen means he's really only 43.   MAIN SHOW:   In Minnesota, Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz quashed DOJ subpoenas for Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, AG Keith Ellison, and several other state officials. The court held that the subpoenas were plainly levied for an improper purpose, namely to punish state officials for refusing to cooperate with Trump's immigration raids. That's a violation of the Tenth Amendment.   Also in Minnesota, charges were dropped against yet another protester from the winter immigration surge into the Twin Cities. ICE/CBP conduct here was egregious, and the US Attorney claims to be investigating.   Since the satirical newspaper The Onion is planning to launch an InfoWars parody on July 2, we revisit all of the bankruptcy court shenanigans to date and talk about what might happen next in court.   Finally, we check in on the Trump insurrectionist slush fund and the administration's continued refusal to actually promise in court, under oath, that it won't resurrect the idea. In the Eastern District of Virginia, the administration simply refused to file declarations ordered by the presiding judge. And in the original lawsuit Trump filed against the IRS in Florida, 35 eminent judges filed their reply brief urging the judge to reopen the case and inspect the settlement.   In the Subscriber Bonus, we break down a lawsuit filed by the Ford Motor Company against a law firm in California that has an… aggressive approach to trying to get its attorneys' fees reimbursed for representing consumers who get their cars replaced under the state's "Lemon Law."   US v.

What employers should know about key developments this week: States Lead on Workplace AI: With federal regulators slowing new rules, individual states are setting their own requirements for employers that use artificial intelligence (AI), creating a patchwork for multistate workforces. California's Executive Order: Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order (EO) targeting AI-driven labor market disruption and directing state agencies to recommend updates to California's Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act for AI-related mass layoffs. Connecticut's New AI Law: Beginning October 1, 2027, employers must give written notice to applicants and employees when AI substantially influences a hiring, promotion, discipline, or termination decision. In this episode of Employment Law This Week®, Epstein Becker Green attorneys Courtney McFate and Elizabeth S. Torkelsen break down two state actions shaping AI in the workplace: California Governor Newsom's EO on labor protections in the age of AI, and Connecticut's new transparency and nondiscrimination requirements for employers. - Visit our site for this week's video edition and more news: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw438 Sign up for notifications: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw-subscribe Visit https://www.EmploymentLawThisWeek.com - Epstein Becker Green is a national law firm focused on health care and life sciences; employment, labor, and workforce management; and litigation and business disputes.

Iran và Mỹ xác nhận đạt thỏa thuận hòa bình sau hơn 100 ngày xung đột. Giá dầu bắt đầu giảm khi thị trường kỳ vọng Eo biển Hormuz sẽ được mở lại và nguồn cung năng lượng toàn cầu ổn định hơn.

VOV1 - Vào sáng nay (15/06), thị trường chứng khoán Nhật Bản đã ghi nhận mức tăng cao kỷ lục sau khi Mỹ và Iran đạt thỏa thuận đình chiến.Ngay sau khi phiên giao dịch bắt đầu diễn ra vào sáng nay (15/06), chỉ số Nikkei 225 trên thị trường chứng khoán Tokyo đã chứng kiến sự gia tăng mạnh mẽ của các lệnh mua và lần đầu tiên đẩy giá cổ phiếu trên thị trường lên mức hơn 69.000 yên.Giá đóng cửa phiên giao dịch trong buổi sáng này là 69.593,64 yên, tăng 3.573,60 yên so với giá đóng cửa ngày thứ Sáu (12/06) tuần trước - mức tăng lớn nhất trong lịch sử giao dịch.Trong khi đó, Chỉ số chứng khoán Tokyo (TOPIX) cũng tăng 140,38 điểm và đạt mức 4.022,34 điểm. Khối lượng giao dịch trong buổi sáng nay cũng đạt mức khổng lồ với hơn 1,17 tỷ cổ phiếu.Theo đánh giá của các nhà phân tích thị trường, thời gian gần đây, giá cổ phiếu đã được thúc đẩy bởi các cổ phiếu liên quan đến lĩnh vực trí tuệ nhân tạo (AI) và chất bán dẫn, dù thị trường được đánh giá là ít bị ảnh hưởng bởi sự tăng vọt của giá dầu thô. Tuy nhiên hiện nay, trong bối cảnh Mỹ và Iran đã nhất trí đàm phán để chấm dứt xung đột, và Iran tuyên bố sẽ mở cửa Eo biển Hormuz, khiến giá dầu thô tương lai tạm thời giảm xuống khoảng 80 đô la một thùng, điều này khiến những lo ngại về tình hình căng thăng ở Trung Đông giảm bớt, dẫn đến gia tăng các lệnh mua vào. Cùng với việc các cổ phiếu liên quan đến AI và chất bán dẫn - vốn đang thúc đẩy đà tăng của thị trường chứng khoán, các lệnh mua cũng đang lan rộng sang các cổ phiếu liên quan đến ngành ô tô và xây dựng, cũng như một số lĩnh vực khác. Xu hướng nay cho thấy các nhà đầu tư đang tìm kiếm những cổ phiếu có khả năng tăng giá hơn nữa trong thời gian tới.Mặc dù vậy, các nhà phân tích cũng nhận định, vẫn còn tồn tại nhiều thách thức trong việc đảm bảo nguồn cung dầu thô ổn định, chẳng hạn như việc đàm phán về chi phí vận chuyển qua Eo biển Hormuz, hay việc sửa chữa các cơ sở năng lượng bị tấn công trong thời gian qua… Vì vậy, những hoài nghi trên thị trường vẫn chưa hoàn toàn biến mất, và vẫn có thể tác động tiêu cực tới thị trường chứng khoán Nhật Bản./.Ngọc Huân/VOV Nhật BảnThị trường chứng khoán Nhật Bản tăng cao kỷ lục sau khi Mỹ và Iran

On this, our 329th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we continue to discuss the West. We begin with readings of glorious California—from Stegner to Chandler to Didion—and reminisce about our own time growing up in LA. Then: the elections in California seem rigged, and if your elections are rigged, you don't have a democracy. Paper polls worked; in-person voting worked; exit polls provided information. Why did our elections change? The system as it stands is an invitation to fraud. A democratic republic is the only viable alternative, and Democrats are destroying the goose that lays the golden eggs, which makes the marvelous life of most people—including the men singing about not taking it anymore--possible. Meanwhile in the state of Washington: the newest Executive Order demonstrates just how spineless, powerless, and in need of replacement, our leaders are. EO 26-01 purports to address menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms; instead, it is a pandering, bureaucratic, gameable, woke, anti-scientific mess.

(01:41) Nederlanders hadden een grotere bijdrage aan D-Day dan we tot nu toe dachten. Want vandaag, op 7 juni, wordt in het Normandische kustplaatsje Arromanches-les-Bains een nieuwe plaquette onthuld de inzet van ‘onze' koopvaardij eert. Wat hield die bijdrage in, en hoe substantieel was die voor het verloop van de oorlog?   We vragen het militair historicus en theatermaker Tijmen Dokter.    (14:03) Groot alarm deze week over de terugkeer van El Niño, het weerfenomeen dat eens in de zoveel jaar de oceaantemperaturen opjaagt en het klimaat wereldwijd in de war schopt. Dit jaar wordt zelfs gevreesd voor een sterke "super" El Niño: met uitzonderlijke hittegolven, droogtes en overstromingen over grote delen van de wereld.    Maar hoe lang weten we eigenlijk al van het bestaan van El Niño? En hoe ver terug in de tijd kunnen we dit verschijnsel bestuderen?   We bellen met paleoklimatoloog Timme Donders, op veldonderzoek in Italie. Hij onderzoekt El Niño, maar dan niet die van dit jaar, maar El Niño's van duizenden jaren terug, waarvan de sporen onder meer terug te vinden zijn in bodemlagen in Ecuador.  (21:48) Dit weekend werd de vijftigste EO-jongerendag gehouden in Ahoy Rotterdam. Waar het evenement in de jaren ‘70 begon als regionale aangelegenheid, is het inmiddels een volwaardig festival met christelijke rock, hiphop en zelfs moshpits. Een begrip in christelijk Nederland, maar ook daarbuiten.    Religiewetenschapper en antropoloog Miranda Klaver deed onderzoek naar hoe de Jongerendag door de jaren heen is veranderd.  (36:02) Afgelopen woensdag overleed de Iraans-Franse Marjane Satrapi op 56-jarige leeftijd. Zij was vooral bekend van Persepolis, de iconische zwart-wit striproman, gebaseerd op haar eigen ervaringen als jong meisje in Teheran rond de Islamitische revolutie.    We praten over Persepolis en de impact ervan met Nafiss Nia: filmmaker, dichter, en groot bewonderaar van Marjane Satrapi.    (43:57) Elke week bespreken we historische tips met afwisselend Nadia Bouras, Wim Berkelaar, Bart Funnekotter, Sanne Frequin, en Fresco Sam-Sin. Deze week is de beurt aan Sanne Frequin. Zij bespreekt twee boeken en een tentoonstelling:  Hoe dacht de middeleeuwer over de ideale date? - Cecile de Morree  Jeanne d'Arc, een waargebeurd verhaal - Edward de Maesschalck  Bellezza e Bruttezza (https://www.bozar.be/nl/kalender/bellezza-e-bruttezza) – Tentoonstelling in Bozar, Brussel    (58:04) Wie in Nederland denkt aan Brabant, denkt dan voornamelijk aan onze provincie Noord-Brabant. Met de nadruk op Noord – want die naam wijst er natuurlijk op dat er ook een veelgroter, zuidelijker deel van Brabant bestaat, in België.    Ooit vormde het samen één groot Hertogdom, maar door de verdeling over Nederland en België zijn de Brabanten aan beide zijden toch een beetje ondergeschoven kindjes geworden.    En bij onze zuiderburen nog erger dan bij ons, vindt VRT-Journalist Luc Pauwels. Hij besloot daarom een Brabants-nationalistische geschiedenis te schrijven, en dat werd het boek Het verhaal van Brabant.      (01:11:48) OVT Doc: Het probleem de wereld in, de begintijd van 'Blijf van m'n Lijf'    Het was schokkend nieuws deze week: Vier mannen zijn aangehouden in een groot onderzoek naar het drogeren en seksueel misbruiken van vrouwen.    Reden voor ons om de documentaire te herhalen die Christianne Alvarado maakte over de begintijd van de ‘Blijf van m'n lijfhuizen.' De opvanghuizen voor mishandelde vrouwen ontstonden in een tijd waarin geweld tegen vrouwen absoluut niet serieus werd genomen, zelfs niet door hulpverleners. Sinds die tijd is er veel veranderd, maar het probleem is allesbehalve verdwenen.  Meer info: https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-7-juni-2026 (https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-7-juni-2026)

David Aferiat: Stop the Bottleneck and How a 3D Decision Engine Transforms Leadership Teams Guest: David Aferiat, Growth Coach and Entrepreneur Host: Julie Riga About David Aferiat David Aferiat is a growth coach, entrepreneur, and community leader with a track record built on perseverance, strategic leadership, and long-term vision. He co-founded a fintech company that earned a spot on the Inc. 5000 list for six consecutive years, licensing its technology to eTrade and TD Ameritrade. He has also led the French American Chamber of Commerce and Entrepreneurs Organization (EO). David now coaches CEOs and leadership teams to delegate with confidence and build decision-making systems that sustain professional growth. Fun Fact: The favorite food of David is Shakshuka, a Mediterranean dish of roasted peppers, tomatoes, and spices with eggs poached in the reduction, topped with feta and parsley, served with warm pita. He makes his own hummus. The 3D Decision Engine: Discover, Discuss, Decide Discover: Before the meeting, team members log issues and opportunities into a shared parking lot, a simple spreadsheet visible to all. Each item is written as an outcome statement. Tag each item as an opportunity or an obstacle. Discuss: Follow a fast, slow, fast cadence. Align quickly on the list, go deep in discussion, then move to decision. Everyone speaks beyond their own role. Time-box each conversation with a visible timer. Decide: Every decision is assigned one accountable owner with milestones and a follow-up timeline. Decisions fall into six categories: change a process, change a person, change the strategy, stop something, delegate it, or automate it. Key Insights Decision bottlenecks are a leadership problem, not a business problem. When the founder becomes the single point of approval for every decision, growth stalls because of organizational design, not market conditions. The fix is structural. Perseverance is the daily curation of atomic habits and routines designed to serve a future version of yourself and your business. David asks founders one powerful question: what is the last chair around the table you gave up? Each role you release creates more freedom, more capacity, and more life. The two greatest gifts for any founder are community and coaching. Join an organization like EO or a local business network. Invest in a coach who meets you at your stage and holds you accountable to the leader you are becoming. Memorable Quotes "Perseverance is about curating a routine, atomic habits that let you drop the keys off to a future version of yourself." "If everything has to go through the owner, you are choking what could be happening to move the business forward." "Share the burden. That is what a team is for."

Darrell Castle talks about the resignation of Tulsi Gabbard from her position as Director of National Intelligence, and why she made the decision to resign. Was it because of her husband’s illness or something else. Transcription / Notes TULSI'S GONE Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 29th day of May in the year of our Lord 2026. I will be talking about the resignation of Tulsi Gabbard from her position as Director of National Intelligence, and about why Tulsi made the decision to resign. Was her decision because of her husband's illness or was it something else. Tulsi never seemed to fit into Washington like a typical Washington politician. She never seemed willing to lie and cheat her way to the top as is typical of Washington. From the beginning of her prominence, she seemed a little too honest and too forthright for Washington politics. Nevertheless, she was a politician having served as a Democrat in congress from the state of Hawaii. She left congress and ran for president as a Democrat but lost in the primary to Joe Biden. She became disenchanted with the Democrat Party and decided to back President Trump in his run for that office. President Trump appointed her Director of National Intelligence, in theory the most important national security position in the country. The U.S. now has 18 intelligence agencies or departments if you count their various components and they all report to the Director of National Intelligence, but once in the office I imagine that the DNI found out who holds the real power in the intelligence world. When I learned a few weeks ago that the CIA had apparently broken into, raided, or whatever you want to call the CIA's visit to their boss's office, I knew Tulsi would soon be gone. Whistleblower James Erdman blew his whistle in congress and testified that the CIA had “seized” documents from their secure area in the office of the DNI. Some of the files they seized related to the assassination, or perhaps their assassination, of JFK. They apparently also took the files related to MKULTRA which was and probably is the CIA's experimental program designed to alter and control human behavior through the use of mind-altering drugs and torture. They sought to and apparently did learn the art of mind control including control of whole populations through these experiments. There are people who exist now who are suing the CIA in an effort to get some answers to the questions of what happened to their minds and the minds of their parents because of MKULTRA. That's not all they got because apparently they got the files on “Havana Syndrome” in which U.S. diplomats and others stationed in Havana and other places were apparently subjected to some kind of mind-altering rays. In response to the CIA raid, Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and James Comer (R-KY) chairman of the house Oversight Committee, sent a preservation letter to the CIA demanding that all evidence related to the taken or stolen material be preserved. I imagine the CIA got a good laugh over that letter as they endeavored to show naive members of Congress who actually runs this country. Apparently someone spoke to someone and explained the facts of life as it exists in Washington because when that letter of preservation became public people started to backtrack their statements. Even Erdman, the whistleblower said no I didn't say it was a raid instead I just said CIA refused to comply with “lawful oversight and documented everts to circumvent oversight.” He testified to Congress that not only did CIA refuse to comply with the directives of the ODNI Director's Initiatives Group (DIG) investigations into the origins of COVID-19 and other “phenomena” but retaliated against those who did not support their own conclusions. Quoting long-term CIA agent Erdman, “The CIA illegally monitored the computer and phone usage of DIG personnel, their investigations, and contact with whistleblowers, which significantly impacted Director Gabbard's implementation of several Eo's issued during this administration and tasked to the DIG.” In addition, “when the DIG ceased operations, the CIA also took back 40 boxes of JFK files and MKULTRA files being processed for declassification by DNI Gabbard.” The CIA's spying was referenced as tracking every keystroke of DIG personnel as they processed files directed by presidential EO to be released or unclassified. These files included files concerning JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations, the origins of COVID-19, Crossfire Hurricane, The Biden Administration's domestic surveillance, Anomalous Health Incidents (AHI) and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. So, just speculating here folks, but trying to do it with logic I think it went something like this. The President appoints this intelligent and experienced, but most importantly honest woman to head the nation's intelligence organizations. He then says that as he campaigned on a pledge to be transparent and release long classified files he issues an Executive Order (EO) to that effect. Tulsi, his DNI, who most likely took the job based on a promise to be forthcoming, sets out to obey the President's EO. She appoints a working group from among those in the office of the DNI which she calls DIG to sort through the files to determine if there was anything that should not be released. The CIA completely ignored that  report to DNI which was Tulsi and in fact they ignore or refuse to abide by the direct written orders of the President of the United States. They break into, or raid, if that is better, her office, take the files and even congress can't get them back. My conclusion, then, is that this case reveals as clearly as anything has who or what runs this country. I knew when I heard the story of what happened and looked into it that Tulsi would not be able to remain in the administration. Who would want to be director of the office that controls American intelligence agencies, all 18 of them, if one of those agencies was completely exempt from you, their boss's orders, and apparently didn't even follow the orders of the President. So, is that why she resigned because she didn't say that it was. In fact, she didn't complain about the President's inability or unwillingness to control the CIA but instead she thanked him and the American people for the opportunity to serve. In her letter she cited her husband Abraham and his diagnosis of a “extremely rare form of bone cancer” as the reason. She said he had stood by her every step of the way including when her Army guard unit was deployed to East Africa and through her political campaigns so she wanted to be with him full-time during such a difficult time. In 18 months as DNI she restructured the office, cutting its size and saving the American people more than $700 million per year. She launched many investigations and sought the release of previously classified material related to the programs previously listed. She has declassified more than 500,000 pages thus far. Her National Counterterrorism Center stopped thousands of narco-terrorists from entering the country until finally its head, Joe Kent, publicly resigned citing the Iran war as the reason. I saw her interviewed on the Shawn Ryan Podcast the other day and she was very forthright as she normally is. She said that the people who opposed her in her efforts were very intolerant of anyone who believes in God because in their minds they are God. They are the ultimate deciders of right and wrong and their choices are never wrong because they determine what right is. If a person opposes them, even if their boss opposes them, that person is on the way out. She said that before she goes at the end of June she will release many files related to the programs in question. Likely, these files will be released in weekly installments over the weeks of June. Her deputy director, Aaron Lukas, will serve as acting director until a permanent director is appointed. I predict without knowing one way or the other that the new director will have a CIA or perhaps military, meaning ex-General background. Politicians seem to be sweating over the prospect of files related to Crossfire Hurricane or the Russia gate hoax and other weaponization of law programs. I'm just speculating because I admit I don't know but I will wager that Tulsi grew very weary of constantly trying to follow presidential directives and being stymied at every turn while doing so. That type of constant stress is very difficult to bear long term.  Why would the CIA take her JFK files along with the other assassination files. That's a good question isn't it but the answer is very obvious but unsayable in public. Yes I know the assassinations were all done by lone nuts who were killed or prosecuted without any real investigation but nothing to see here folks just move along. Finally, folks, Tulsi seems to be an intelligent, honest woman who loves her country and its people and who puts them before any political party. There aren't many left like her and I for one will miss her. I wish her well. At least that's the way I see it, Until next time folks, This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.

Tehran đã khám phá ra đòn bẩy rẻ tiền, nhanh chóng, và có sức tàn phá mà họ nắm giữ ở Eo biển Hormuz.

Jeff Dudan's free digital copy of his book What does it take to turn business chaos into a repeatable formula for success? In this episode, Jeff Dudan sits down with Troy Hazard - global keynote speaker, bestselling author, entrepreneur, TV host, and former Global President of the Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) - for a wide-ranging conversation on peer networks, business acquisitions, and the mindset shifts that separate good entrepreneurs from great ones. Troy shares the hilarious story of how three bottles of wine at a lunch in Brisbane launched a 15-year journey that took him to the top of EO's global leadership. He breaks down why he deliberately looks for 'unsexy' businesses most investors ignore, why he makes himself redundant as fast as possible after acquiring a company, and why leaving money on the table for the buyer is actually the strategy that creates premium exits. You'll also hear a powerful framework for evaluating distressed businesses - one that starts not with spreadsheets, but with candid conversations over coffee. Plus, Troy and Jeff explore the transformative power of EO, YPO, Vistage, and peer mastermind groups for entrepreneurs who didn't follow the traditional MBA path. Key topics covered: • How EO and YPO create life-changing peer networks for entrepreneurs • Why the best advice comes from people with nothing to gain from you • The 'unsexy business' acquisition strategy that creates outsized returns • How to evaluate a distressed business when the P&L tells you nothing • Why making yourself redundant is the fastest path to a profitable exit • The psychology of selling a business at a premium price • Vulnerability as a leadership superpower • Why confidentiality inside peer groups unlocks radical honesty  Guest: TROY HAZARD Guest YouTube: https://vimeo.com/troyhazard  Guest Business YouTube: Guest Website: https://troyhazard.com/  Guest Socials: https://www.linkedin.com/in/troyhazard/  #entrepreneurship #businessgrowth #TroyHazard #JeffDudan #EO #YPO #businessacquisition #peerlearning #leadershipmindset Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Did you know? 96% of business owners are open to switching advisors right before, during, or after the sale of their business. That's a staggering stat from a recent study discussed on the Top Advisor Podcast with Scott Bushkie – highlighting both a threat and a huge opportunity for financial advisors. If you're working with business owners or want to attract more, here are three actionable takeaways from the episode: Start the Conversation Early: Don't wait for your clients approach you for a conversation about selling their business. Proactively discuss their exit plans and the value of their business before someone else does. Build a Trusted Team: Business owners expect their advisor to have a team of experts (including tax, M&A, and legal professionals) ready to help maximize their value and minimize taxes during this critical transition. Never Accept the First Offer: The study revealed that business owners almost always net a significantly higher sale price (sometimes 60–100% more) when they run a competitive sale process rather than accepting unsolicited offers. Case in Point: The Danger of Waiting Hear what happens when a trusted advisor “waits for the call” after a client sells – only to lose out on tens of millions in new assets because they weren't proactive. Or discover how partnering with experts and running a competitive sale process turned an initial $31M offer into a $51M payday for both the business owner and their advisor. Advisors: This is an immediate opportunity to be the hero your business owner clients need or risk losing them at the most pivotal moment of their financial lives.

Minnesota may be the epicenter of fraud in America, but the SNAP abuse of food stamps across America will leave you speechless. Is everything a grift?

New data drops showing the two US teachers' unions have given more than $1 billion since 2015 to far-left political groups and PACS. Where does that money come from? Trump approves a plan for up to a $1000 federal match for IRAs.

There's a lot to unpack this week, not least of which being the President's open suggestion of committing war crimes against Iran. Mary and Andrew begin by underscoring the Geneva Conventions stipulation limiting the use of force in wartime to military targets – not civilian ones. Then, a major shakeup at the Department of Justice: Attorney General Pam Bondi is out. Andrew compares her ouster to Trump's firing of Jeff Sessions in his first term, and how the “sycophantic” nature of her allegiance to Trump did not save her job. Next, they turn to last week's oral arguments before the Supreme Court over birthright citizenship. Mary, who is steeped in the case, came away thinking that “the solicitor general has a much greater hill to climb” to convince a majority of Justices to uphold Trump's executive order at issue. Last up, the co-hosts look at another of Trump's EO's being challenged that would restrict mail-in voting, despite defending his own use of voting by mail in Florida's Special Election in late March. This podcast is also available on YouTube at ms.now/mainjustice. Further reading: This is the Just Security piece Andrew referred to: When War Crimes Rhetoric Becomes Battlefield Reality: The Slippery Slope to Total War on Iran Here is Mary's MS NOW piece: The embarrassing lesson of Pam Bondi's confirmation hearing.
