Dale Wollschleger is the Founder and former CEO of Cleveland-based ExactCare Pharmacy and the developer of the ExactPack™—a patient-specific medication packaging system designed to simplify complex medication regimens.This conversation with Dale dives into the unlikely journey of a pharmacist-turned-entrepreneur who started in the back of a small Cleveland pharmacy and built a billion-dollar organization serving patients across the country.ExactCare's meteoric growth—from inception to a multi-hundred-million-dollar business in under a decade—has earned it repeated recognition as an Inc. 5000 fastest-growing company and a Top Workplace by The Plain Dealer.

My guest today, Steve Durbin, shares why empathy, agility, and resilience are vital to managing risk and keeping your organization secure. Steve shares the biggest threats to organizations right now and how empathetic leaders foster the resiliency needed to adapt. We discuss how CISO's and risk officers can create an empathetic culture where trust and transparency flow to help protect the organization. Steve shares how letting go of control can keep you safer, and how curiosity and listening help you communicate in ways people understand. He candidly shares that CEOs who don't understand empathy are a risk. And finally, Steve offers ways to balance a culture of experimentation and empowerment with effective risk management.

It is not the machine or the algorithm that will solve your risk problem; it is your people. You risk losing your best people if you're not willing to adapt to what needs to be done for the best of your organization, employees, clients, and other stakeholders.

Today, Eitan Koter is joined by Rich Kahn, CEO of Anura.io, and a veteran in the digital marketing world. With over 31 years of experience and multiple multimillion-dollar companies under his belt, Rich has spent the last two decades focused on solving one major problem: ad fraud.He's also been named an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year for Technology, which speaks to the level of trust companies place in his work.In this episode, Rich and Eitan talk about a challenge most marketers face without even realizing it. Whether you're running paid media, using affiliates, or investing in programmatic ads, a portion of your traffic is likely fake. Rich says the average is around 20 to 25 percent, and it can be much higher depending on the channel.He explains how bad traffic gets through, what to look for, and why things like CAPTCHA don't offer much protection anymore. You'll hear about the tactics fraudsters use to get paid, including human click farms and bots that mimic real users. More importantly, Rich shares what brands can do about it.He walks through how Anura helps companies figure out where fraud is coming from, how much damage it's causing, and how to stop paying for traffic that doesn't convert. It's not about big teams or complex systems. In most cases, it starts with a simple tag on your site and a clear plan of action.If your team is putting budget into digital ads and wondering why results aren't lining up, this episode will help you understand where that money might be going.Website: https://www.vimmi.net Email us: info@vimmi.net Podcast website: https://vimmi.net/mastering-ecommerce-marketing/ Talk to us on Social:Eitan Koter's LinkedIn | Vimmi LinkedIn | YouTube Guest: Rich Kahn, CEO and Co-Founder at Anura.ioRich Kahn's LinkedIn | Anura.ioWatch the full Youtube video here:https://youtu.be/jtylO3eGgE0Takeaways:

Es dauert Anfang Jahr nur Tage bis klar ist: Die Trump-Regierung 2.0 macht Ernst und streicht massiv Gelder für Forschung und Wissenschaft. Wie tief greift diese Krise? Und was führt wieder raus? Die Trump-Regierung 2.0 macht Ernst mit ihrer Ankündigung, massiv Gelder für Forschung zu streichen und Organisationen und Institutionen radikal umzubauen, zu verkleinern oder ganz zu streichen. Betroffen sind unter anderem die amerikanische Seuchenbehörde CDC, das Nationale Institut für Gesundheitsforschung NIH, die Zulassungsbehörde FDA, die Wetterbehörde NOAA, die Raumfahrtorganisation NASA – überall drohen harte Kürzungen und strukturelle Eingriffe. Auch renommierte Universitäten wie Harvard und Columbia geraten öffentlichkeitswirksam ins Visier – ebenso, wenn auch weniger beachtet, viele kleinere Hochschulen, die mit neuen Vorschriften und gekürzten Mitteln zu kämpfen haben. Wie tief greift diese Krise, die gerade erst ein paar Monate dauert? Wir fragen nach – bei einem mRNA-Forscher, der nun Ziel für Attacken ist, bei lokalen Gesundheitsbehörden in Texas, die einen Masernausbruch durchleben, und bei einem Historiker, der sagt: «Das hatten wir doch alles schonmal.» Folge 4/7 der letzten Sommerserie des SRF Wissenschaftsmagazins.

Worüber ich in dieser Folge unter anderem spreche: + Warum es nicht reicht, zu wissen, was dir guttut. + Was passiert, wenn du deine Bedürfnisse dauerhaft zurückstellst. + Weshalb dich ernst zu nehmen kein Luxus ist, kein Nice-to-have. + Warum Veränderung mit einer Entscheidung beginnt – und nicht mit dem perfekten Moment.

In this episode, Wes Read dives deep into a topic that keeps many dental practice owners awake at night: embezzlement. Drawing from real-life cases and his years of experience working with dentists, Wes explores how trusted team members can sometimes become the source of financial harm. He emphasizes the importance of "professional skepticism", a principle he adopted early in his career at Ernst & Young, and how applying this mindset can help dentists protect their finances without damaging team morale.Download the Embezzlement Protection Guide for Dentists from Practice CFO:https://practicecfo.com/wp-content/uploads/PracticeCFO-Embezzlement-Protection-Guide.pdf

Ernst & Young recently came out with a new updated study, which is likely to scandalize mainstream financial experts like they did with their 2021 study. Back then, they asked the question, “Is the stock market-only retirement approach really the strategy that gives you the highest levels of income and the best outcomes over a 30-year retirement?” In their new study, on the other hand, they substituted Indexed Universal Life for Whole Life, and Fixed Index Annuities for Deferred Income Annuities – a move that led to unexpected and spectacular results.  Host David McKnight explains that by going beyond the investment-only playbook and by integrating tools like Whole Life and Deferred Income Annuities into your retirement strategy, you get higher levels of income and a higher likelihood of your money lasting through life expectancy and beyond. For years, Indexed Universal Life and Fixed Index Annuities have been misrepresented by many (inexperienced) insurance agents, have been vilified by media personalities using a “one-size-fits-all” approach, and have been ignored by investment-only advisors. In the latest iteration of their study, Ernst & Young ran three case studies: one featuring a 35-year-old couple just starting their financial journey, one involving a 45-year-old couple, and the last one looking at a 65-year-old couple on the doorstep of retirement. David asks why, if the E&Y case studies show that IULs and FIAs can dramatically improve income levels and the likelihood of money lasting through life expectancy and wealth to heirs, they have been so frequently demonized? David touches upon three distinct reasons why he believes the critiques occur. “Together, the IUL and FIA act as the stabilizers on your retirement journey,” says David. Utilized in conjunction with your investment portfolio, IUL and FIA increase your income, the likelihood your money lasts through life expectancy, and they increase the money that gets passed on to your heirs. For David, data proves that cash value life insurance and annuities work whether you're just getting started or are stepping into retirement.     Mentioned in this episode: David's national bestselling book: The Guru Gap: How America's Financial Gurus Are Leading You Astray, and How to Get Back on Track DavidMcKnight.com DavidMcKnightBooks.com PowerOfZero.com (free video series) @mcknightandco on Twitter  @davidcmcknight on Instagram David McKnight on YouTube Get David's Tax-free Tool Kit at taxfreetoolkit.com Ernst & Young Dave Ramsey Suze Orman S&P 500

Ernst & Young Health AI and Data Leader Sezin Palmer explains how healthcare organizations should be strategic and selective, use what they have first, build with value and scale in mind, retool available talent, and partner effectively.

Laura Cowan started her career in finance, earning a CPA and working at Ernst & Young and Goldman Sachs. When she decided to go to law school at 35, she knew that she wanted to launch a boutique firm with a practice area that complemented that financial background. Estate law seemed a good fit—but fate threw her a curve ball just as she launched her firm.“I had to turn my entire practice virtual overnight in 2020 in New York City because of COVID,” Cowan tells the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles in this episode of the Modern Law Library. “I moved to Rhode Island to shelter in place with my dad. During that couple of months that I was sheltering in place, I still had to get my law firm running. I had a business to run and bills to pay. So I made everything virtual, and I really streamlined everything. And what I found was that I could make pretty easily $10,000 a month, working just a couple of hours a day.” She has now leveraged the experience of launching an all-virtual estate-planning practice into a coaching program, 2-Hour Lifestyle Lawyer, to help other lawyers launch similar practices. Her new book, Lifestyle Lawyer Revolution: Live a Life You Love (Without Leaving the Law), is full of tips and advice for building a personalized practice to provide work-life balance for attorneys. “Now, what we found is that there's a lot of lawyers who are happy working a lot more than that and are happy earning a lot more, but the name of the business really comes from just this idea that you can still be a really great attorney without working 10 hours a day, and you can make a nice living without working 10 hours a day,” says Cowan. A key part of not working too many hours is to hire appropriate assistance, even as a solo just starting out, says Cowan. “What I see a lot of is lawyers that spend too much time in the weeds of executing and doing all these different things that an admin could be doing, and not spending enough time doing what the lawyer should be focusing on,” says Cowan. “So they're both working too much and not making enough money, which is the worst possible combination.” Cowan encourages estate attorneys to hold community workshops to help people understand the importance of wills and trusts. She says it's an excellent way to establish connections that can lead to further business. “The real reason that people hire us is because of the connection,” Cowan tells Rawles. “And I firmly believe this. People don't hire you because you're the best drafter in the world. They hire you because of the way that you make them feel. So use AI and technology behind the scenes to help you get your work done and deliver a really great client experience, but never forget that it's going to be that that makes them hire you.” In this episode, Cowan also discusses the benefits of value-based pricing versus the billable hour; attracting the client base you want to target; and how to deal with your biggest frenemy: technology.

In this powerful conversation, Michael D. Levitt and branding expert Barry LaBov explore the critical role of differentiation in today's hyper-competitive and fast-moving business world. It's not about being the biggest or best in every category—it's about being unmistakably you. The Human Edge of Differentiation Barry opens with a compelling take: while modern tools have made producing fast, mediocre content easier, what sets brands apart today is authenticity and humanity. He warns that failing to stand out leads to commoditization, lower profits, and disengaged teams. The takeaway? Know what makes you unique—and amplify it with intention. Purpose Starts with "Who Are We?" Michael shares a story from a nonprofit healthcare board meeting where a simple but profound question was raised: “Who are we?” That moment sparked a conversation about alignment, identity, and clarity. He reminds leaders to pause regularly, assess direction, and stay grounded in purpose. Barry echoes this, referencing Simon Sinek's “Start With Why,” but adds: you also need to clearly explain what you do and how it fulfills that purpose. Belief Begins Within Barry shifts the focus inward, discussing how employee belief in a company's mission and differentiation directly impacts its longevity—citing that 16 of 17 startups fail within 10 years. His latest book, written during the COVID-era resignation wave, focuses on helping companies win hearts and minds through internal and external clarity. Real-world stories and practical frameworks help teams rediscover what makes them special. Small Shifts, Big Impact Michael dives into adaptability with a brilliant metaphor: changing the lighting in a room can completely alter its feel without replacing the furniture. In the same way, businesses often need thoughtful tweaks—not complete reinventions. He also addresses current workplace trends—like post-2021 turnover and return-to-office debates—urging leaders to listen to their people and lead with empathy and internal communication. Say It Like You Mean It Wrapping up, Barry and Michael discuss how language shapes culture. Self-deprecating phrases like “best kept secret” can quietly undermine confidence inside and outside the organization. Instead, leaders should communicate honestly and boldly about their value—without veering into ego. Michael even mentions recommending Barry's book to a client struggling with this exact challenge. Key Takeaways: True differentiation stems from authenticity, not superiority. Purpose is revealed by asking the hard questions—internally and externally. Your team must believe in what sets your organization apart. Minor shifts in leadership and culture can produce major results. How you describe your business matters—internally and externally.

When two brothers, Ernst and Albrecht of Saxony divided up their enormous inheritance that comprised Thuringia, Meissen and the electorate of Sachsen-Wittenberg, they not only undermined their power base as the de facto #2 amongst the imperial principalities and planted the seed for a conflict that would play a key role in the Reformation but they also laid the foundations for the modern Länder of Thuringia and Saxony. And this division was not driven by the usual family feud but came after 20 years of largely harmonious government and a shared childhood trauma. Why they took, or had to take this fateful step, is what we will discuss today.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

Die Zeiten, in denen manch einer die Ostsee vom Strandkorb aus mit einer "lauwarmen Badewanne" verwechselt hat, sind vorbei. Das ruhige Wasser spiegelt für den Politikwissenschaftler Sebastian Bruns etwas ganz anderes wider: "In der Ostsee sehen wir wie unter dem Brennglas die Geopolitik im 21. Jahrhundert", sagt der Marine-Experte des Instituts für Sicherheitspolitik an der Universität Kiel.Ein Blick auf die Landkarte zeigt: Von den neun Ostsee-Anrainern sind acht Staaten Mitglieder der Nato. Dazu kommt Russland, das neben seiner Küstenline bei Sankt Peterburg auch über die Exklave Kaliningrad verfügt. Zu Zeiten des Kalten Krieges sicherte die Nato in der Ostsee die Freiheit der Seewege vor dem Warschauer Pakt, erinnert Bruns im Podcast "Wirtschaft Welt & Weit". Heute geht es nicht nur um internationales Seerecht, sondern vor allem um den Schutz kritischer Infrastruktur, also um Pipelines, Windparks und Unterseekabel.Ganz zentral an dieser neuen Lage ist der Umgang mit hybriden Bedrohungen, etwa mit der russischen Schattenflotte: Die veralteten Schiffe, die nach und nach auf Sanktionslisten der EU landen, stehen nicht nur im Fokus, weil Putin auf diese Weise seine Kriegswirtschaft versorgt: "Wir gehen davon aus, dass diese Schiffe auch für andere Aktivitäten genutzt werden", erklärt Bruns. Spionage mit Drohnen und Sabotage an Unterseekabeln sieht er als zentrale Gefahren, denn die Ostsee ist enorm wichtig für die europäische Energie- und Datensicherheit. Diese neuen Gefahren haben auch den Fokus des Nato-Manövers "Baltic Operations" verändert, an dem dieses Jahr 9000 Soldatinnen und Soldaten aus 17 Ländern beteiligt sind. Die Übungen in der Ostsee seien viel komplexer, sagt Bruns: "Es geht um komplizierte U-Boot-Jagdmanöver und um die Einbindung von Heer und Luftwaffe". Die Nato-Übung hat Anfang Juni in Rostock begonnen. Dort ist seit Ende 2024 die "Commander Task Force Baltic" angesiedelt, ein taktisches Hauptquartier, das von der Deutschen Marine geführt wird. Deutschland hat die größte Marine aller Nato-Staaten im Ostseeraum. "Daraus leiten wir eine Verantwortung ab", sagt Bruns - nicht ohne zu betonen, dass das "amerikanische Commitment" für die europäischen Partner von großer Bedeutung ist. Denn - und auch hier zeigt sich die Geopolitik des 21. Jahrhunderts - der Schwerpunkt der USA liegt immer stärker auf dem Pazifik: "Wir werden uns darauf einstellen müssen, dass die Amerikaner jetzt Ernst machen mit ihrem Fokus auf China", warnt Bruns.Das Ziel: Mehr Verantwortung tragen, die USA aber trotzdem im Boot behalten. "Wir müssen schneller ausrüsten und aufrüsten, sichtbarer sein, ohne die Fahne zu sehr in den Wind zu halten", erklärt Bruns. Dabei sollte man aber eines nicht vergessen: Es dauert lange, Schiffe zu beschaffen und Besatzungen zu trainieren. Denn bei der maritimen Sicherheit, so der Experte, sei der Fortschritt kein Sprint, sondern ein Marathonlauf.Bei dieser Folge handelt es sich um einen Re-Upload. Die Folge haben wir erstmals am 12.
