In this episode, Matt Bortz joins the show for an in-depth discussion about the evolving landscape of hunting ethics in the face of modern technology. As a member of Idaho's HAT Committee (Hunting and Advanced Technology), Matt shares key insights into a recent initiative by the Idaho Fish and Game Commission to evaluate the impact of technology on fair chase principles. The conversation explores: Public sentiment on hunting technologies like rangefinders, game cameras, GPS collars, smart optics, thermal imaging, drones, and AI. Survey findings from over 15,000 Idaho hunters that reveal a near-even split on contentious tools like cell trail cameras and smart scopes, while showing strong opposition to night vision, thermals, and AI for animal identification. Ethical and enforcement challenges, including how perceptions vary across regions and user experience levels. The human element of the hunt, including a gripping personal story of a challenging solo bear hunt that ends with an adrenaline-pumping close encounter. Youth outreach and conservation efforts, highlighting the importance of educating the next generation on ethical hunting and the role of community-led programs. The episode ultimately underscores the importance of public input in wildlife regulation, the need for balance between tradition and innovation, and a call to action for hunters to voice their views when new regulations are proposed.

Guest: Christine Boyce, Global Innovation Leader at ManpowerGroup/Right Management“We have to stress-test innovation in the messiness of real-world hiring, not just ideal lab conditions.”-Christine BoyceIn this episode of Psych Tech @ Work, I'm joined by my longtime friend Christine Boyce, Global Innovation Leader at ManpowerGroup/Right Management, to explore how innovation — especially around AI — is reshaping hiring and talent development at scale, and why solving for trust, transparency, and operational realities matters more than ever.SummaryAt the heart of this conversation is the reality that scaling AI innovation in hiring brings massive complexity. While AI offers incredible promise, solving for accuracy, fairness, and operational reality becomes exponentially harder when you're dealing with a large number of unique clients.Christine Boyce, through her work at ManpowerGroup & Right Management, operates at the intersection of these challenges every day. Unlike internal talent acquisition leaders who focus on one organization's needs, Christine must help innovate across a vast client portfolio. Each client presents different barriers — from data limitations, to ethical concerns, to regulatory pressures — and innovation must be modular, defensible, and adaptable to succeed.This vantage point gives Christine a unique, big-picture view of how AI adoption really plays out across industries and markets.We dive into the practical challenges of innovating responsibly: earning trust, scaling solutions across diverse environments, and balancing speed with fairness. Christine's work at ManpowerGroup & Right Management highlights how innovation must be deeply disciplined if it is to achieve true scale and impact.The Core Challenge: Scaling Accuracy and FairnessAt the heart of using AI for hiring lies the challenge of achieving accuracy and fairness at scale. AI's true value isn't just its ability to make individual decisions — it's in processing vast amounts of data and automating judgment across thousands of candidates. However, scale magnifies both strengths and weaknesses: minor biases can grow into systemic problems, and small inefficiencies can snowball into major failures.Staffing firms like ManpowerGroup offer critical real-world lessons:* Scale forces discipline — Every AI tool must be rigorously vetted for fairness, transparency, and defensibility before deployment.* Real-world variation stresses the system for the better — Tools must flexibly adapt to diverse jobs, industries, and candidate pools. This makes the overall path of innovation better and drives great learnings across the board.* Speed must not erode trust — Productivity gains must still respect ethical standards and candidate experience.* External accountability keeps AI honest — Clients demand transparency, validation, and explainability before adoption.Real Barriers to AI Adoption: What Clients Are FacingDespite AI's potential, Christine identifies several persistent hurdles that she faces when serving her diverse slate of clients:* Resistance to Behavior Change: Even demonstrably valuable AI tools often struggle against entrenched workflows and distrust of automation.* Ethical and Trust Concerns: Clients demand AI systems that are transparent, explainable, and defensible, fearing reputational or regulatory risks.* Vendor Noise Overload: Saturation by "AI-washed" vendors makes it hard to differentiate true innovation from hype.* Mismatch Between Hype and Practical Needs: Clients need tools that solve today's operational problems — not just futuristic visions disconnected from reality.* Fear of Creeping AI Adoption: Organizations worry about AI capabilities being embedded into systems without visibility or intentionality.* Compliance and Regulation Anxiety: Global and local regulations (like the EU AI Act or pending US laws) create urgency for proven, compliant AI solutions.* Talent Data Readiness: Without clean, structured internal data, even the best AI solutions struggle to deliver meaningful results.These challenges aren't isolated — they reveal the broader realities companies must manage when trying to adopt AI responsibly at scale.Ultimately, client concerns have a hand in AI innovation because they are critical for the adoption of these technologies, shaping how staffing firms and vendors must design, validate, and deploy solutions.There's an inherent tension between the drive for scale and the need for trust, fairness, and operational reality.Christine's experience demonstrates that true innovation in AI for hiring isn't just about introducing new tools — it's about creating resilient, transparent systems that can adapt to real-world complexity. Managing the tension between speed, scale, trust, and fairness represents the path to a bright future. This is a public episode.

REBT for Pain Management and Exercise - Counselling Skills Feedback In Episode 338 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we explore the essential and sensitive topic of supporting suicidal clients – discussing how therapists can respond ethically and effectively, including risk assessment and safety planning. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Ruth Hill about her lecture on REBT for pain management and exercise – blending cognitive therapy with physical wellbeing to support client recovery. And lastly, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss the importance of receiving and using counselling skills feedback – helping you get the most from peer observations and strengthen your skills in training. Supporting Suicidal Clients [starts at 03:29 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken discuss the sensitive but important issue of supporting suicidal clients, and how to respond appropriately in therapy. Key points discussed include: Suicidal ideation can range from passing thoughts to detailed planning. All expressions should be taken seriously. Risk factors include mental health diagnoses (e.g. depression, bipolar disorder), substance abuse, previous attempts, bereavement, and neurodivergence (particularly autism). Warning signs may present as hopelessness, withdrawal, giving away possessions, or even sudden mood improvements. Therapists should feel confident in: Asking direct, nonjudgmental questions Assessing risk through clarity on plans and means Creating collaborative safety plans with clients Intervention may include providing helpline details, referring to a GP, or involving other services – guided by your therapeutic contract. Documentation, supervision, and appropriate CPD are all essential to ensure ethical and competent practice. REBT for Pain Management and Exercise [starts at 42:15 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Ruth Hill about her lecture on REBT (Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy), and how it can be used to support pain management and exercise. The key points of this conversation include: REBT explores irrational beliefs and helps clients reframe unhelpful thoughts (e.g. “I can't cope with this pain” becomes “I don't want this pain, but I can cope with it”). Beliefs around pain often increase suffering and decrease motivation. Therapists can help clients notice and challenge cognitive distortions like catastrophising, black-and-white thinking, and mind-reading. Avoidance and guarding behaviour can worsen pain and increase deconditioning. Exercise can be reintroduced gently and collaboratively. Therapists should explore client history around movement – school PE experiences, family values, or previous injuries can shape limiting beliefs. Exercise doesn't have to mean running a marathon – it could mean stretching, walking, or visualising movement to reconnect mind and body. Counselling Skills Feedback [starts at 01:05:57 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore how to receive and use feedback on counselling skills, a vital part of developing as a student practitioner. Key points include: In triad skills sessions, the “client” should give feedback first, followed by the observer. Keep feedback constructive – use statements like “I wonder what might have happened if…” instead of criticism. Use observation forms to stay focused – reflect on specific skills such as silence, open questions, or paraphrasing. Sandwich suggestions between two pieces of positive feedback. Not all feedback is right – look for consistent patterns before making major changes. Recording practice sessions can help spot what worked well and what could be improved. Feedback isn't just about ticking boxes – it's about deepening empathy, timing,

Podcast Notes Episode 464 The Five Step Ethical Sales Framework for Coaches w/ Wes Bryant Host: Brian Miller, Executive Director of CAM Guests: Wes Bryant In this episode, Wes Bryant—an expert in ethical influence and persuasion—shares his journey from struggling coach to founder of The Commissioned Coach. He breaks down his five-step sales process for coaches who dislike selling, showing how to shift from a fear of being “salesy” to seeing sales as a service. Through mindset shifts, ethical communication, and relationship-focused methods, Wes empowers coaches to grow their practices with confidence and integrity. Key Highlights: Sales and coaching often conflict due to differing communication styles—one pushes, the other explores. Wes's breakthrough came with a mindset shift: sales is a service, not a manipulation. His five-step process begins with abundance and progresses through reliability, influence, objection-handling, and more (covered in future episodes). Coaches often struggle not because of a lack of effort, but because they fear “being salesy” and avoid direct asks. Ethical persuasion focuses on helping people make the best decision for themselves—even if that decision isn't you. Takeaways: Shift from a scarcity mindset (“I need clients”) to an abundance mindset (“How can I help?”). View yourself as a reliable guide, not a nuisance—you're there to serve. Tailor communication to each person in your funnel based on their trust and readiness. Influence ethically by aligning motives with the client's best interest. Prepare for objections ahead of time so pricing or hesitation doesn't derail your confidence.

It was still dark. The group of men felt the breeze getting warmer as the eastern horizon began to show signs of light. One of the men, tall with no expression, watched as final preparations were made to a large object in front of the group. The others saw the anxiety in his face in a way that only those had had been around him could discern. The man walked forward, spoke with some of the technicians, and watched them haul it away. It was going to a tower, visible in the distance. Conversations around him continued, but only because it seemed like they had to. Somehow, the silence would have been louder. Not long after, notifications came from the tower; an all clear was given. At 5:29 a.m., a flash of light that was so brilliant it could be seen from 200 miles away blossomed in the desert. The mushroom cloud rose 40,000 feet into the air, and the shock wave was felt 100 miles from ground zero. The man who all that morning had worn no expression, would later recall remembering a Hindu scripture in that moment: "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."Another man who witnessed the test described the overwhelming impression it left: "A new thing had just been born; a new control; a new understanding of man, which man had acquired over nature." Another observer said, "The lighting effects beggared description. The whole country was lighted by a searing light with the intensity many times that of the midday sun."Humanity had crossed a threshold.___Join us as we show you the Manhattan Project, the reason behind the development of nuclear weapons, and the ethical implications of such an invention.

Comments or feedback? Send us a text! Dr. Chris Taplin,a psychiatrist and founder of Ottawa's TMS Life clinic, joins us for a deep dive into one of the most promising frontiers in psychiatric care: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or TMS. As clinicians, many of us have encountered the heartbreak of treatment-resistant depression — watching clients struggle despite best-practice psychotherapy and pharmacology. TMS offers a non-invasive, evidence-based alternative that is reshaping how we approach these cases. In this conversation, we unpack the science, patient experience, clinical decision-making, and broader implications of this technology. Whether you're a skeptic, a curious clinician, or already working with neuromodulation, I think you'll find this a thoughtful, grounded look at where TMS fits in the future of mental health treatment.Topics We Cover:

Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest-running podcast in compliance. This is a very special episode. Tom Fox is joined by Lisa Fine, Ellen Hunt, and Hemma Lomax from the Great Women in Compliance podcast for our annual GWIC/FCPA Compliance Report cross-post podcast. We recorded this at Compliance Week 2025. In this year of uncertainty and change in compliance, we discussed the need to revisit and emphasize foundational ethics amid the evolving compliance landscape, seeing uncertainty as a chance for professional growth and deeper ethical reflection. We also discussed integrating ethics into compliance functions and advocating for a community-oriented approach that respects diverse viewpoints and fosters global perspectives; highlighted the importance of innovative strategies and understanding human behavior, advocating for creative approaches like podcasts to foster a speak-up culture and stressing the use of technology and coaching to enhance ethical decision-making, ultimately contributing to a robust corporate culture capable of navigating international compliance challenges.

What happens when we prioritise innovation over ethics in AI development? For the 100th episode of the Digitally Curious Podcast, Kerry Sheehan, a machine learning specialist with a fascinating journey from journalism to AI policy, explores this critical question as she shares powerful insights on responsible AI implementation.Kerry takes us on a compelling exploration of AI guardrails, comparing them to bowling alley bumpers that prevent technologies from causing harm. Her work with the British Standards Institute has helped establish frameworks rooted in fairness, transparency, and human oversight – creating what she calls "shared language for responsible development" without stifling innovation.The conversation reveals profound insights about diversity in AI development teams. "If the teams building AI systems don't represent those that the end results will serve, it's not ethical," Kerry asserts. She compares bias to bad seasoning that ruins an otherwise excellent recipe, highlighting how diverse perspectives throughout the development lifecycle are essential for creating fair, beneficial systems.Kerry's expertise shines as she discusses emerging ethical challenges in AI, from foundation models to synthetic data and agentic systems. She advocates for guardrails that function as supportive scaffolding rather than restrictive handcuffs – principle-driven frameworks with room for context that allow developers to be agile while maintaining ethical boundaries.What makes this episode particularly valuable are the actionable takeaways: audit your existing AI systems for fairness, develop clear governance frameworks you could confidently explain to others, add ethical reviews to project boards, and include people with diverse lived experiences in your design meetings. These practical steps can help organisations build AI systems that truly work for everyone, not just the privileged few.This is an important conversation about making AI work for humanity rather than against it. Kerry's perspective will transform how you think about responsible technology implementation in your organisation.More informationKerry on LinkedInThanks for listening to Digitally Curious.

Drew Norton, known as the Everyday Sales Leader, joins Travis to share his journey from selling Halloween candy as a kid to leading large sales organizations and coaching others to sales success. As a self-development coach, sales consultant, and co-host of the Everyday Leader podcast, Drew brings a wealth of experience across sales, recruiting, leadership, and training. What makes Drew unique is his focus on ethical selling and his belief that sales skills can transform not just your income, but your entire life-even if you're an introvert. On this episode we talk about: – Drew's unconventional path into sales and entrepreneurship – Why sales is a high-leverage skill for anyone wanting to control their income – Overcoming the negative stereotypes and mindset blocks around selling – How sales skills translate to better communication, empathy, and leadership – Practical ways to start learning and earning in sales-even part-time – The best industries for new salespeople to break in and maximize earnings Top 3 Takeaways 1. Sales is a learnable skill that can dramatically increase your income and opportunities, regardless of your background or personality type. 2. Ethical selling is about solving real problems and building trust, not pressure or manipulation. 3. The mindset you bring to sales-believing in your product and your value-matters more than having the perfect script. Notable Quotes "Sales is life. The things I've been learning have helped me communicate with my wife, helped me be a better listener." "You don't have to be an extrovert to be great at sales. Some of the best salespeople I know are introverts." "If you really believe in your product, the worst thing you can do is not influence someone to buy it if it's right for them."

You'll learn the three major reasons this global ID push is happening: Stopping identity fraud and deepfakes Verifying age online to protect children Distinguishing humans from synthetic AI agents With connections to platforms like Match.com, Discord, and Reddit, and the backing of Visa, this story is about far more than tech — it's about privacy, control, and the future of our students.  I've included lots of links and commentary at the show notes: https://www.coolcatteacher.com/e898 

iCloud Changes and Client Confidentiality – Dealing with DNAs in Placement and Practice In Episode 337 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we explore how to talk to children about death - covering developmental understanding, appropriate language, and how to support children through bereavement. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Catherine Knibbs about changes in Apple's encryption policy and what this means for therapists in terms of data protection and confidentiality. And lastly, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss how to respond when a client does not attend a session, particularly while you're on placement. Talking to Children About Death [starts at 03:26 mins] Talking to children about death is a delicate but vital topic. In this section, Rory and Ken offer guidance on how to approach this with compassion and clarity. Key points discussed include: Begin the conversation by referencing nature - trees, animals, and seasons can help young children start to understand the cycle of life and death. Avoid euphemisms such as “gone to sleep” or “passed away” - these can be confusing and potentially distressing. Children under 5 may not grasp the permanence of death. They may show their grief through regression, clinginess, or confusion. Children between 5 and 11 are more aware but may still not fully understand. They often ask the same questions repeatedly to process the information. Magical thinking can lead a child to believe their actions or thoughts caused a death - therapists and caregivers must gently challenge this. William Worden's “12 Needs of a Bereaved Child” mention the need for clear and honest information, routine, and emotional expression. iCloud Changes and Client Confidentiality [starts at 24:04 mins] In this week's Practice Matters, Rory speaks with Catherine Knibbs about the recent removal of Advanced Data Protection from Apple iCloud in the UK, and how this impacts therapists. The key points of this conversation include: iCloud's end-to-end encryption has been removed in the UK, meaning data stored in iCloud is more easily accessible by government agencies. Therapists who use Apple devices may unknowingly store sensitive client data (notes, recordings) in the cloud. It's now more important than ever to review your device settings and understand where your client data is going. If you're recording sessions, use dedicated offline devices like a dictaphone rather than mobile phones that automatically sync to the cloud. Be aware of auto-backups on apps and devices, and take steps to disable them if needed. Therapists must now adopt a more technologically informed stance on client confidentiality, reviewing not just clinical practice but also data storage and device use. Dealing with DNAs in Placement and Practice [starts at 49:30 mins] Do Not Attends (DNAs) are a common part of placement and professional practice. In this section, Rory and Ken reflect on how to respond both practically and emotionally. Main points include: It's normal for clients to miss sessions, especially in the early stages of therapy or during times of personal crisis. As a student, it's easy to take a DNA personally, but it's rarely about you - clients may not be ready, or other life factors may have intervened. Use the time to reflect, do coursework, or engage in self-care. Some placement providers use systems to reduce DNAs, such as text reminders or follow-up calls. Take these experiences into supervision to gain support and insight. Clients may only attend one session, but even a single meeting can offer value. It's part of your development to work through these moments professionally and reflectively. Talking to Children About Death Click Here to Download Free Handout ...

Obsession is one of humanity's greatest boons… and curses. Obsession can fuel a scientist's entire career in trying to solve a singular problem. An athlete's obsession can pull them to physics bending heights, a politician's obsession with a cause can push a world changing bill forward. People can be obsessed over all sorts of great and mundane things: books, trading cards, cars, art without any kind of harm… But when that obsession is about controlling or possessing another person? Things can take a sinister turn. In today's story, 7 people's lives are ruined by a single woman's obsession.

Michael Falato brings a refined, results-driven approach to lead generation that prioritizes quality over volume. By automating the top of the funnel while leveraging human expertise for qualification, he ensures that outreach efforts lead to meaningful conversations—not just clicks or cold responses.

He also warns against common pitfalls in automation, particularly on platforms like LinkedIn, where aggressive outreach can result in bans or reputational damage. Instead, Falato advocates for nurturing relationships through thoughtful engagement and event-based touchpoints.

For sales leaders and founders looking to scale sustainably, his methods offer a repeatable, high-impact model. Falato and his team have the capacity to safely send over 20,000 emails and 10,000 LinkedIn activities per month for lead generation.
