Bryan Murphy, CEO of Smartling, confronts a $40 billion industry stuck in the slow lane, the world of translation. Most companies still handle translations like it's 1999: manual, expensive, and painfully slow. Bryan saw AI as the game changer that could rewrite the rules, but integrating it wasn't a walk in the park. He shares how Smartling harnessed AI to not just cut costs and speed up translation but to finally boost quality close to human-level precision without losing control over brand voice or nuance. Yet, making this leap meant upheaval: reorganizing teams, hiring AI experts, and establishing ruthless R&D discipline to separate winning ideas from distractions. Thanks for tuning in!

First up: Please take our listener survey here: https://bit.ly/3HwYVhT Today, we're going to revisit our conversation about Emily Oster, and her evolving views on kids, weight and health.This episode first aired in November 2024, right after the presidential election. We're now 8 months into Trump's second term, and continuing to grapple with how America has slid to the right. So the story of a public health advocate and scholar who is now aligned with conservative media feels incredibly timely—especially because many of you are starting back at school this month, and Emily's take on school lunches is particularly complex. That said, we also want to hold space for how much Emily's work has meant to so many of us (including Virginia!).This is a complicated conversation.

In this special Summer Series Flip episode, I'm so excited to share a conversation I had on the Brilliant Balance podcast with the amazing Cherylanne Skolnicki. We talk all about the journey of becoming—how I moved from chasing external success to aligning with the woman I'm meant to be, and how that shift has transformed the way I live, lead, and support others. I open up about what it means to create clarity (instead of waiting for it), rewrite the stories that keep us stuck, and take radical responsibility for the version of ourselves we're stepping into. We also dive into the evolution of my book Get What You Want, the truth about personal branding, and why I believe you shouldn't build your business based on who you used to be—but from the place of who you're becoming. This conversation is raw, honest, and such a beautiful reminder that you don't need to wait to become her—you can be her now. Liked this episode?

And the more that you can really own who you are. You say what you mean and mean what you say, and you don't say it mean, and you just own that with every bit of you. That is actually the ripple effect in the mirror that magnates people to you.” - Julie Solomon  “ What I really get hooked on is like, okay, what are you making up and telling yourself that, that person has? Because that's going to allow you to drop more into what it is that you want that's already inside you. If it wasn't inside you, you wouldn't see it in other people, good or bad, right? You can also do this with what you're wanting to shed, right?

 This is Matt Reustle. Today, we are breaking down the real estate broker Compass. Compass itself is a fascinating business and historically a controversial stock. It was founded in 2012 by Robert Reffkin and has scaled in that short period of time to become the largest real estate brokerage in the United States.  Geoff Collette, founder of Aeon Capital Partners, is back as a guest. After his Breakdown on Goosehead, we thought it was fitting to cover another flavor of broker. Geoff and I cover the history, some of Compass's early pivots, and the different critiques of the company. There is a ton of interesting stuff around Compass today. We could see a broker potentially emerge from being historically a commodity business to something more powerful. Please enjoy this Breakdown of Compass.  For the full show notes, transcript, and links to the best content to learn more, check out the episode page here. —- Business Breakdowns is a property of Colossus, LLC.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into the cosmic drama unfolding in our universe, featuring a doomed exoplanet, new revelations about Mars, and the latest crew aboard the International Space Station.The Death Spiral of TOI 2109bAstronomers are closely monitoring the death spiral of TOI 2109b, an exoplanet located over 870 light-years away. This gas giant, nearly five times the mass of Jupiter, completes an orbit around its host star in just 16 hours, making it the closest hot Jupiter discovered to date. Researchers from Macquarie University have found that the planet's orbit is decaying, leading to three potential end scenarios: being torn apart by tidal forces, plunging into its host star, or losing its gaseous envelope to intense radiation. These findings provide valuable insights into planetary evolution and the fate of gas giants in close orbits.New Insights into Mars's Ancient SurfaceA recent study has identified a new type of iron sulfate on Mars, suggesting significant geothermal and chemical activity on the planet's surface. Researchers have characterized this uncommon mineral, which may represent a new type due to its unique crystalline structure. The discovery sheds light on how heat, water, and chemical reactions have shaped Mars, and indicates that the planet may have been more geologically active than previously thought. This research enhances our understanding of Mars's potential to have supported life in its past.New Crew Arrives at the International Space StationNASA has successfully delivered a new crew to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule. The crew, consisting of two Americans, a Russian, and a Japanese astronaut, will replace colleagues who have been aboard since March. As NASA considers extending crew stays from six to eight months to reduce costs, the new team is set to contribute to ongoing research and operations in low Earth orbit.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journalhttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/1538-4357Nature Journalhttps://www.nature.com/nature/NASA's International Space Stationhttps://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 This is space Time Series 28, Episode 97 for broadcast on 13 August 202500:42 Astronomers are tracking the death spiral of a doomed planet more than 870 light years away12:06 ToI 2109 is one of the most interesting systems that we've got17:06 Scientists have identified a new type of iron sulfate on the Red Planet23:47 NASA has delivered four new crew members to the International Space Station aboard SpaceX Dragon25:10 New study claims consuming three fries a week increases risk of developing type 2 diabetes26:13 Google about to offer AI study tools to college students for free29:53 You've got to check for updates on all your Apple devices

"Well, nobody knows history is being made when you're in the middle of being made." "But you certainly aren't going to end up where guys like us end up. And that's the most beautiful gift of it all." "You've got to do things legitimately, authentically." "You are not going to survive like that anymore. You have to be a top-performing tattooer."

Send us a textWhat is the core evolved function of the endocannabinoid system?Episode Summary: Dr. Giovanni Marsicano is a neuroscientist based in Bordeaux, France, where he leads a research group at INSERM focusing on the endocannabinoid system.About the guest: Giovanni Marsicano, PhD discusses the endocannabinoid system, starting with its core components like CB1 receptors and lipid-based molecules derived from omega-6 fatty acids; its cellular signaling, evolutionary role in energy storage for uncertain futures (exostasis vs. homeostasis); effects across tissues; motivation, appetite, pain relief, and anxiety regulation; biphasic effects of cannabinoids.Discussion Points:The endocannabinoid system acts as an "exostatic" regulator, promoting energy accumulation for future needs by enhancing food palatability, nutrient absorption, and fat storage, unlike "endostatic" systems that address immediate hunger.CB1 receptors appear in vertebrates with adipose tissue, suggesting an evolutionary link to storing fat for survival in unstable environments.Endocannabinoids are lipids from omega-6 fats; high intake boosts their levels, potentially fueling obesity by creating a self-perpetuating cycle of overeating.Activation of CB1 can have biphasic effects due to receptors on different cell types like excitatory vs. inhibitory neurons.Pregnenolone, a steroid precursor, acts as a natural CB1 inhibitor to prevent excessive activation, blocking harmful effects like psychosis from high THC doses.The system influences motivation beyond food, including sex and even human activities like sports or storytelling, by rewarding actions for potential future benefits.In the brain, CB1 on mitochondria and astrocytes modulates energy use, olfaction, and social stress transmission, with implications for disorders like Alzheimer's.Reference Paper:CB1 Receptor as the Cornerstone of ExostasisRelated episode:M&M 123: EndocanSupport the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. AquaTru: Reverse osmosis water filters.

In this episode of The Product Experience, Randy Silver speaks with Dariusz Dziuk, Product Lead for Music Expression at Spotify, about the origins and evolution of Canvas, the looping visuals that accompany music tracks. From early assumptions and first principles thinking to scaling and measuring marketplace success, he shares how a bold experiment turned into one of Spotify's most engaging features.Key Takeaways— Balancing Art and Science: Product management often lives between structured analysis and intuitive creativity—success lies in mastering both.— First Principles and Assumptions: Questioning defaults—like static, square cover art—can open doors to bold innovation.— Real Stakes Drive Real Creativity: Artist engagement with Canvas only truly emerged once the stakes felt genuine and public.— Marketplace Thinking: Canvas succeeded because it delivered value for all marketplace participants—creators, consumers, and the platform itself.— Innovation Through Structure: Weekly design sprints and rapid prototyping allowed Spotify's innovation lab to explore and discard ideas quickly, eventually landing on Canvas.— Scaling Insights: Measurable impact came later—higher engagement, saves, shares, and a new visual identity for music on Spotify.— Artist-Centric Focus: Prioritising the needs of the supply side (artists) can unlock cold start challenges and marketplace growth.Chapters0:00 – Marketplace Thinking at Spotify1:20 – Darius Jurek's Journey into Product2:45 – From Engineering to 0-to-1 Product Innovation4:00 – Is Product Management an Art or a Science?6:30 – The Brief: Connecting Creators and Fans8:20 – Building an Innovation Lab10:00 – Exploring Dozens of Ideas11:45 – Why Canvas Won Out13:10 – The Challenge of Validating a New Format16:00 – Questioning the Assumptions Around Cover Art19:00 – Real Stakeholder Feedback and Creative Buy-In21:00 – Marketplace Metrics of Success23:30 – Canvas and the Evolution of Music Discovery26:00 – Visual Design, Collaboration, and Artist Empowerment28:00 – Darius on Supplier-Led Product StrategyFeatured Links: Follow Dariusz on LinkedIn | Dariusz's website | Spotify | '#mtpcon @ Pendomonium 2024 Encore' recap Our HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.

He's now bringing the same disruptive approach to recruitment technology.We talk about:How Atlas uses AI to eliminate low-value admin work for recruitersWhy the recruitment industry is ripe for disruptionLessons from scaling and exiting ProsapienHis vision for building a CRM that recruiters actually want to useHow he's creating a culture where employees share in the company's successJordan's mission is to give recruiters more time to do what they do best, building relationships and making placements, while Atlas handles the admin.If you're questioning whether your CRM is keeping up with AI's potential, this is one to watch.--------------------------------------Chapters00:00 Introduction to The Rag Podcast and Guest Jordan Shlosberg02:51 Jordan's Entrepreneurial Journey and Background05:57 The Birth of Atlas and AI in Recruitment08:51 The Role of Family Background in Entrepreneurial Drive12:03 Transition from Finance to Entrepreneurship15:03 Building ProSapient: The First Company18:06 Growth Strategies and Challenges in ProSapient20:55 Technology's Impact on Business Operations23:52 Navigating Funding and Investment Rounds26:41 The Evolution of Leadership and Management29:47 The Future of Atlas and AI in Recruitment43:54 Navigating a Competitive Recruitment Landscape45:31 Building Software for Recruitment Success48:48 Innovating in Recruitment Technology50:31 The Future of Spec CVs and AI Integration58:30 Streamlining Administrative Tasks with AI01:00:27 Enhancing Data Management and Reporting01:08:37 Customer Support and User Experience01:17:42 Vision for the Future of Atlas__________________________________________Episode Sponsor: AtlasYour memory isn't perfect.

How many hours a week do you spend making notes to try and retain as much as possible? And how much is still getting lost along the way? Traditional CRM systems weren't built for the type of recruitment business you're running right now. They were built to rely on the structured, tagged, categorised, and formal data you could feed it. Manual processes that needed you to input specific information, based on specific questions and answers. But what about all the other conversations you're having every single day? Atlas isn't an ATS or a CRM. It's an Intelligent Business Platform that helps you perform 10X better than you could on your own. How?

The wholesale electricity market has changed plenty in recent years, and if future projects are any indication, more change is on the way in the decade-plus ahead.On this episode of Alternative Power Plays, Buchanan's Alan Seltzer and Brattle's Metin Celebi welcome colleague Andrew Levitt, a Senior Consultant at Brattle. Levitt is an expert in wholesale electricity policy, focused on evolving system needs. He's an expert in market design for emerging resources and has worked with utilities, regional transmission organizations (RTOs), and regulators.During the discussion, the three get into the weeds on an American Clean Power-commissioned report Brattle published that provides a roadmap for RTOs on energy storage market design. Conventional market design is very limiting for new technologies, specifically batteries, and the report focuses on why the RTOs of PJM, MISO and NYISO are strong candidates for reform. They also talk about why California Independent System Operator (CISO) and Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) remain leading examples of battery storage deployment and what has made them successful. Finally, Levitt ends the conversation with insights on what changes need to be made to other RTOs to make energy storage deployment possible.To learn more about Brattle, visit: https://www.brattle.com/To learn more about Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, visit: www.bipc.comTo learn more about Alan Seltzer, visit: https://www.bipc.com/alan-seltzer⁠To learn more about Metin Celebi, visit: ⁠ https://www.brattle.com/experts/metin-celebi/

How do you grow predictable revenue for your non-profit initiative?  In this value-packed episode of Leaders of Transformation, host Nicole Jansen sits down with Jonathan Beck, founder of WeGive—a powerful SaaS platform transforming how nonprofits and faith-based organizations engage donors and fuel their missions.
