Trump has been excellent on deportations, but we need to understand what Trump is up against with removing illegals. Having to knock down walls to get these people out, it takes time.

After twenty years in corporate leadership, Gabby Albert took a 65 percent pay cut to become executive director of 4Kira4Moms, and calls herself the happiest she's ever been. In this episode, she and Laura talk about the power of the village: in maternal health, where too many Black women suffer in silence, and in our careers and communities, where we've absorbed a go-it-alone mindset that was never how we were built. Gabby breaks down why asking for help is a strength, how to actually activate the people already in your corner, and why everyone plays a role on the roster so no single relationship gets overused. Grounded in her advocacy work and her own leadership journey, it's a warm, practical call to stop doing everything alone. In this episode: Why we suffer in silence, and how to activate a village instead of over-relying on one person "Everybody plays a role on the roster": spreading the ask so relationships don't burn out What her corporate-to-nonprofit pivot taught her about transferable skills, authentic leadership, and self-advocacy   About Gabby Gabrielle Albert is a strategic leader with over 20 years of executive experience at companies including Procter & Gamble, Kellogg, Bacardi, Hilton, and Kimberly-Clark.

In 2024, Gabby transitioned from corporate leadership to full-time maternal health advocacy, joining 4Kira4Moms as Executive Director after serving on the board. Since then, she has implemented the organization's first strategic plan, launched the 4Kira4Dads Paternal Centers of Excellence, and grown annual revenue 6X.  A proud graduate of Florida A&M University's School of Business and Industry, Gabby is a passionate advocate for maternal health as a human rights issue.

In episode 272, Coffey talks with Amie Fox about inclusive recruitment as a skills-first strategy — and why getting disability inclusion right across the hiring lifecycle unlocks better outcomes for all types of diverse talent. – HRSOUTHWEST October 11-13, 2026 – Good Morning, HR listeners can use the promo code 2026-CoffeyGMHR-100 to save $100 on an HRSouthwest full conference registration at https://hrsouthwest.com!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ They discuss inclusive recruitment defined as removing intentional and unintentional barriers so the best-skilled candidate can move through the process without obstruction; honest, specific job descriptions that reflect actual role requirements rather than aspirational proxies and that allow unqualified candidates to self-select out; disability as the inclusion starting point — with the disability community twice as likely to be unemployed as non-disabled peers despite being frequently over-educated; the average $300 cost of a reasonable accommodation in the US and available government funding through state and county workforce boards to offset it; skills-based hiring as the most equitable screening approach because it focuses on demonstrable job-relevant competencies rather than credential proxies; AI and assistive technology as equalizers for candidates and employees with disabilities, enabling participation and independence in ways previously unavailable; designing the application process intentionally — including accessibility of job postings, assessments, and office environments — to remove barriers before the interview stage; how to handle disability disclosure in interviews, ask practical accessibility questions, and kick the elephant out of the room without legal risk; the medical model versus social model of disability and why moving past fear of offense is the key to unlocking genuine inclusion conversations; and onboarding as the most critical retention tool — including pre-start communication, 90-day planning, accommodations setup before day one, and maintaining connection so new hires know where the bathroom is. Good Morning, HR is brought to you by Imperative—Bulletproof Background Checks.

She moved into this work after a portfolio career across communications, training, fundraising, corporate responsibility, and operations exposed her to how differently people experience workplaces. A key turning point was struggling to find early employment as a visually impaired woman, which shaped her understanding of hidden barriers, workplace design, and the importance of systems that help people perform at their best. Her credibility is grounded in recent and current roles: she set up A Fox Consulting, serves as a non-executive director at Vision Ireland, and has held senior CSR and operations roles at organisations including SCOPE Eyecare & Healthcare. Through her consulting, communications, fundraising, and inclusion work, she has contributed to projects with organisations such as McDonald's, Telefonica, Deloitte, Novartis, Abbott, Newstalk, and John Sisk & Sons. Amie's work is built around the employee life cycle as the foundation for better people performance. She supports leaders and managers through coaching, training, and mentoring designed to maximise employee engagement and performance across each stage of that life cycle. Her book Mind the Blind Spot: Decision to Done and her FoxBuzz framework are practical manifestations of her central thesis: when people feel good, they perform at their best — but that idea only becomes useful when translated into clear routines, structures, and systems that work in boardrooms and in daily operations. Amie can be reached at:Website: www.afox.ieLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amie-fox-a3420333/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/consultingafox/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AFoxConsulting ABOUT MIKE COFFEY Mike Coffey is an entrepreneur, licensed private investigator, business strategist, HR consultant, and registered yoga teacher.

See It! Say It! Symbolize It! with Dr. Patrick Sullivan ROUNDING UP: SEASON 5 | EPISODE 3 Representations, language, and symbols are all important ingredients in building students' conceptual understanding and fluency.

The old rule was simple: earn your stripes the hard way, then make the next generation earn theirs too. Alex Murphy thinks that rule is exactly what’s holding the industry back. As Chief Operating Officer at Cedarwood Financial Partners and host of the Beyond the Trees podcast, Alex helped found Cedarwood in 2022 with a vision to bring a family-focused approach to business and life. That philosophy shows up everywhere in his work, from how he mentors advisors just starting out to how he thinks about scaling a practice without losing what makes it personal. Join Duncan MacPherson as he sits down with Alex and digs into what it really takes to build a next-generation advisory business. They cover the full arc of an advisor’s career, from the earliest days of learning to manage volatility and become a client’s first call, to the middle years of navigating mentor-protege dynamics and deciding whether to specialize, all the way through to the final stretch of a career and the shift from generalist to owner of real enterprise value. Along the way, they explore why so many advisors chase growth for its own sake, and what it looks like to build a business that serves a fuller life instead of consuming it. Key Highlights Include: Why bigger isn’t always better. Teaching new advisors the power of firsts. Building mentorship with purpose, not just skill. Growing down, zooming out, leveling up. The case for niching down over generalizing. If you’re building a team, mentoring the next generation, or aiming to make your last five years your best five years, this episode delivers a practical roadmap.

Discount Illusions, Billing Errors, and Site-of-Care Markups: A Carrier Network Primer for Employers with Evan Anderson of Handl Health. Episode 531. Whatever the plan was at the very beginning, the big status quo carrier networks have evolved into what Stacey Richter calls a three-headed monster: the contractual illusion of discounts, payment integrity nobody with skin in the game is allowed to check, and wild site-of-care price swings inside the very same network. Stacey talks with Evan Anderson of Handl Health, where he works on product strategy, general strategy, and operations, about how fee-for-service networks got here and what self-insured employers, brokers, and TPAs can do around the edges right now. Consider it a primer — a survey of the general map of the landscape, with breadcrumbs to many past episodes for anyone ready to take a deep dive. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ✅ Why a discount off a chargemaster price is "an optical illusion" — including the 2023 Health Affairs finding that at roughly half of hospitals, the discounted cash price is lower than the insurer-negotiated rate ✅ How old mainframe adjudication systems, obtuse contracts, and double-digit billing error rates make payment integrity nearly impossible to verify — because where there's mystery, there's margin ✅ How site-of-care differentials drive runaway spend, from hospital multipliers as high as 13X to $135 vs. $13,560 for the exact same infusion drug — both in-network ✅ Why switching carrier networks, even with your own claims file and transparency data, is a shrinking lever as prices regress toward the mean ✅ Three around-the-edges moves: direct contracting for advanced primary care and Centers of Excellence, steerage and tiering that include site-of-care tiers, and bundled episodes of care aggregated into alternative health plans ✅ How the broker/EBC role is shifting from network shopper to plan orchestrator WHY THIS MATTERS These networks are, lest we forget, built on a fee-for-service model that structurally aligns incentives in ways that are a lot of times misaligned with members and plan sponsors. As Evan puts it, cut one head off and the body grows it back — that body being decades of opacity (gag clauses were only banned by the CAA in 2021) and intermediaries paid in ways indifferent or positively correlated to higher spend. For plan sponsors facing extreme increases, knowing the real price, the quality, and what was actually billed is how you start chipping away at the status quo.

Looking to expand your knowledge of autopathy and its potential as a transformative healing practice?  In this episode, we reunite with Jiri Cehovsky, the esteemed founder of the Prague Homeopathic Academy and a renowned author in the field of autopathy. Jiri guides us on a captivating exploration, offering deeper insights into the intriguing realm of autopathy. He discusses topics such as identifying cases with remarkable outcomes, comprehending aggravations within autopathy, and generously sharing his extensive expertise and firsthand experiences. Episode Highlights: 02;12 - Autopathy vs. Homeopathy: Understanding the Differences 07:56 - Reviving the Spiritual Principles of Healing 15:35 - Identifying Cases with Optimal Results 22:32 - The significance of Chakra-based preparations 27:13 - Understanding aggravations in autopathy 32:03 - Karma's Reach: How Actions Echo in Unexpected Ways 34:27 - The Reward of Good Karma About my guest: Jiri Cehovsky was born in Prague.  Before he began to study and practice homeopathy in around 1980, he worked in publishing. In 1992, he founded the homeopathic school in Prague, from which many Czech homeopaths graduated since then. In the year 2002, he discovered the usefulness of the autopathic principle (“the nearest similimum comes from the person treated”), invented a tool for reliable home preparation of autopathic dilution, and has been developing this method further during the following twenty years. He documented his findings in three books - Autopathy: A Homeopathic Journey to Harmony, Get Well with Autopathy, and Autopathy Handbook. The first article ever published on the topic appeared in the Homeopathic Links 2/2006 under the title: Autopathy: An Unknown Area of Homeopathy. He also published many articles in the journal Hpathy.com, which in 2022 gave him the Award Pioneer in Homeopathy Awards for Excellence in Homeopathy - Hpathy.com. He organizes regular seminars and webinars on autopathy.  Find out more about Jiri Website: https://www.autopathy.com/ If you would like to support the Homeopathy Hangout Podcast, please consider making a donation by visiting www.EugenieKruger.com and click the DONATE button at the top of the site.

You can have a leadership team, directors, job descriptions, titles, and processes. And somehow the school still works because you're the one underneath it all, noticing, anticipating, remembering, and asking the next question.From the outside, it looks like you've built something that runs. From the inside, you're the invisible operating system.In this episode, I sit down with Kris Saburn, an executive director who has spent 35 years in childcare. Kris has a center director, an administrative specialist, and a teacher mentor on her leadership team. On paper, she has plenty of help. And for years, she was still running in survival mode.What You'll LearnWhy a full leadership team doesn't automatically mean a school that runs without youThe open door policy myth that keeps directors working 60-hour weeksWhy so many women in leadership give to everyone except themselves, and what it takes to receive careThe difference between being lonely at the top and drowning in plain sightWhy questions build more leadership capacity than answers ever willHow constant updates can be a form of soothing your own anxietyWhy trust is built through evidence your body experiences, not through pep talksThe skills Kris built that help her face licensing citations and hard conversations without losing sleepWhat happens when you only seek support in a crisisConnect With UsChanie's book, This Can't Be Normal: https://thiscantbenormal.comJoin Schools of Excellence on Substack: https://chaniewilschanski.substack.com/

Summary In this episode of Chattinn Cyber, Marc Schein is chattin' with Richard Goldberg, a seasoned cyber attorney with deep experience in data breach response, cybercrime prosecution, and advising organizations through complex incidents. Their chat opens with Goldberg's background at the U.S. Department of Justice and his path into cyber law, which began when he volunteered to become the office's computer expert. From there, the conversation quickly moves into the modern threat landscape and the kinds of incidents companies are facing in 2026. A major theme is how ransomware has evolved. Goldberg explains that many attacks are no longer primarily about locking systems and demanding payment for a decryptor. Instead, attackers increasingly rely on data extortion: they steal sensitive information and threaten to publish it unless the victim pays. He notes that organizations have improved their resilience by strengthening backups and recovery capabilities, which has forced cybercriminals to adapt their tactics. Their chat also explores the role of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity. Goldberg takes a cautious view, saying it is difficult to know whether AI is helping attackers get into systems more effectively, but he does see potential benefits for defenders. He points out that AI could help close gaps caused by human limitations, such as the delay between discovering a vulnerability and applying a patch. At the same time, he warns that AI is still unreliable and can produce bad outputs, so human oversight remains essential. Another major topic is cyber insurance and its practical value during a breach. Goldberg makes a strong case that insurance is about more than just financial coverage. He says insurers typically connect clients with highly qualified response teams and can help reduce costs through pre-negotiated rates. He also contrasts insured and uninsured incidents, arguing that having cyber insurance can make a significant difference in both speed and quality of response when an organization is under pressure. The chat closes with broader best practices and legal risks. Goldberg emphasizes tabletop exercises, pre-breach planning, gap analysis, penetration testing, and using specialists instead of generalists for cyber incidents. He also discusses the rise in class action litigation and warns against companies trying to “attack back” without understanding the legal consequences. Overall, the episode presents a practical, insider's view of how cyber incidents unfold and why preparation, expertise, and the right advisors matter. Key Points Ransomware has shifted toward data extortion rather than just encryption and ransom demands. Cyber insurance adds real operational value by connecting companies with qualified response teams and lowering friction during a breach. AI may help defenders, but it is not reliable enough to replace humans and may also aid attackers. Pre-breach preparation matters: tabletop exercises, risk analysis, and penetration testing can reduce damage. Specialized cyber counsel is critical because cyber incidents involve law enforcement, regulators, forensic teams, and class action exposure. Key Quotes “The tactics are evolving.” “A lot of ransomware attacks have become essentially data extortion attacks.” “I don't know [whether AI is helping attackers or defenders].” “It's a little bit of night and day.” — describing the difference cyber insurance makes in a breach response. “You need an expert because we may know things about doing this that somebody who isn't doing it multiple times every day.” About Our Guest Richard Goldberg is a vice chair of the Constangy Cyber Team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he advises clients on all aspects of data privacy and cybersecurity, with particular emphasis on incident response, crisis management, and regulatory investigations. With more than 25 years of experience, he has guided organizations through data breaches ranging from localized business email compromises to major global security events affecting millions of individuals across multiple jurisdictions. Clients also value Richard's perspective as a former cyber attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice, where he prosecuted cybercrime and intellectual property offenses and led responses to sophisticated threat activity. He is frequently called upon to support regulatory compliance following data incidents, including matters involving multi-agency investigations and international, federal, and state privacy frameworks.

When's the last time you attended an event that stayed with you long after you left the room?   Maybe it wasn't the impressive venue, packed agenda, or big-name speaker you remembered. It was how you felt. You felt seen, safe, connected, and able to think differently about your business or life.   Creating this kind of transformation doesn't happen by accident.   In this Mastering Excellence conversation, Nikki welcomes business revenue strategist and Reach Retreat founder Danielle Throckmorton to explore how thoughtful planning turns an event into an experience people remember.   You learn how to start with the outcome you want to create, design around the needs of your attendees, and make intentional choices that allow people to be fully present for the experience. The Transformation Before listening, you may find yourself: Starting with the venue, speakers, or agenda instead of the attendee. Packing the schedule because more content feels like more value. Making event decisions based on what other successful hosts are doing. Focusing on logistics without considering how each choice affects the attendee experience. After listening, you learn how to: Reverse engineer a retreat around the transformation you want to create. Design an environment where attendees feel safe, seen, and supported. Create space for connection and reflection alongside the curriculum. Make intentional choices about who and what belongs in the experience. Key Takeaways In this episode, Nikki and Danielle discuss: Why Danielle started by creating the retreat she wished existed. How applications and pre-event conversations reveal what attendees actually need. Why safety, environment, food, downtime, and thoughtful details all contribute to the experience. The importance of qualified facilitators when deeper emotional work is involved. Why Danielle chooses educators based on attendee needs rather than name recognition. How connection before and after a retreat extends the value beyond the event itself. Start With the Transformation and Work Backwards Danielle's approach begins with a simple question: Why are we doing this?   Before choosing the venue, filling the agenda, or deciding who speaks, she considers what attendees need to walk away with.   From there, she reverse engineers the experience.   The environment, curriculum, educators, food, downtime, and details all support this intended outcome. Create What You Wish Existed Danielle's retreats grew from her own experience as an entrepreneur.   After attending a conference with thousands of women, she appreciated the inspiration but wanted something deeper. She wanted to ask questions, have honest conversations, and learn alongside other women without feeling like everyone needed to perform.   This led her to ask: What do I wish existed?   Rather than recreating someone else's version of a successful event, Danielle began designing the kind of room she wanted to experience herself. Safety Creates Space for Transformation Danielle intentionally considers what attendees need in order to feel safe enough to fully participate.   This includes understanding who belongs in the room, asking thoughtful questions before the retreat, creating a natural flow throughout the experience, and bringing in qualified professionals when deeper emotional work is involved.   Safety also means knowing when something falls outside your own expertise.   The goal is to create an environment where attendees have the capacity to be present for what unfolds. Don't Firehose Your Attendees Providing value doesn't require filling every available minute.   Nikki and Danielle discuss how easy it is to pack an agenda because you want attendees to feel they received enough for their investment.   Danielle intentionally leaves room for slower mornings, conversations over coffee, free time, and organic connection.   Sometimes the transformation happens during the curriculum. Sometimes it happens sitting on the couch talking with another attendee.   A thoughtfully designed retreat makes room for both. Let Attendee Needs Guide the Experience Danielle doesn't select educators because their names sell tickets.   She reviews attendee questionnaires for common needs, challenges, and themes, then brings in people equipped to address what this particular group needs.   She also creates opportunities for attendees to connect before arriving and stay connected after leaving.   This approach keeps the experience centered on the people in the room rather than what's popular or expected. Details Allow People to Be Present Food preferences. Packing information. Comfortable spaces. Time to rest. Knowing someone has thought about what you may need.   These details contribute to the experience.   Danielle's goal is to remove unnecessary distractions so attendees can show up and receive without constantly managing logistics.   The details aren't about impressing people. They're about creating the conditions for people to be present. A Quote Worth Remembering "Start with the end in mind and reverse engineer from there." Try This This Week When you're planning a retreat, workshop, mastermind, client day, or live event, resist the urge to begin with the agenda.   Instead, answer: What do I want someone to walk away thinking, feeling, knowing, or doing differently because they were in this experience?   Then look at what you're planning through this lens.   Does each major element support this outcome? Who This Episode Is For This episode is especially valuable when you: Are planning a retreat, workshop, mastermind, or in-person client experience. Want your event to create transformation instead of simply delivering information. Tend to overfill agendas because you want to provide tremendous value. Want attendees to feel seen, supported, and connected. Are deciding which speakers or educators belong in your event. Want to create an experience people remember and want to return to.

Shrinksrap.com  was selected for MillionPodcasts' 2026 Top 100 Psychology Podcasts list.Dr. Jim Bramson interviews Dr. Tracy Baldo-SenstockWhat happens when you spit in a tube—and your origin story changes?In this episode of ShrinksRap, Dr. James Bramson sits down with his former professor and dissertation committee member, Dr. Tracy Baldo-Senstock, to discuss her lived experience of discovering her biological father through genetic testing. Dr. Baldo-Senstock is a former dean in Walden University's School of Counseling, emeritus faculty at the University of Northern Colorado, a Purdue University graduate, and recipient of the Robert O. Stripling Award for Excellence in Standards. Dr. Tracy is not alone. Most of us know someone who has discovered a biological relative through genetic testing. Pew Research found that 27% of Americans who have used mail-in DNA testing discovered close relatives they previously didn't know about. Drs. Jim and Tracy explore her origin story—and what happens when DNA collides with family mythology: identity, family secrets, truth, and transparency. They also discuss the power of emboldened vulnerability and what it means to live more fully in truth. Why do families keep secrets? Sometimes to protect a parent, preserve a reputation, shield a trauma survivor, or hold an established family structure together. That can work…until somebody spits in a tube. For many people, keeping secrets may not be the psychologically healthy choice. And before deciding what a DNA discovery means—or what to do about it—perhaps there's a lesson from Star Trek's Mr. Spock: stay in the fascination. Lead with curiosity, stay heart- centered, gather the data, and then decide whether—and how—to reconnect. Part psychology, part genealogy, and part family detective story, this episode explores the risks and surprising power of telling the truth—and what “family” means when DNA suddenly rewrites the cast of characters.Credits:River is High, Ticketless TravelerCarl Reisman, guitar, singer, and songwriterJenny Goodwine, vocalsJames Singleton, bassJohnny Vidocovich, drumsDave Easley, steel guitarProduced by Morgan Orion Reismanfor more information, carlreisman@gmail.comCopyright 2025WCMI networking group A networking group for mindfulness-focused clinicians dedicated to learning together & collaborating for more information click here

Does God care whether you are good at your job or not? Dorothy Sayers famously noted that the first thing the church should tell a carpenter isn't just moral rules, but: Make good tables. When the church goes silent on excellence, culture lowers the bar with "Quiet Quitting" and "Bare Minimum Mondays".In Part 2 of Faith at Work, Pastor Tom Kang explores Exodus 31 and the story of Bezalel—the very first person in Scripture described as being filled with the Spirit of God. He wasn't a priest or prophet, but a blue-collar craftsman gifted with hokmâ (skill and craftsmanship). Because Jesus already did all things well on the cross, we don't work for God's approval—we work from His approval. Learn how to pursue excellence for an Audience of One and discover the freedom of putting the chisel down to rest.

Selling a must-have product sounds easier than selling a nice-to-have. But even when your solution is critical to a customer's business, you still have competitors fighting for the same deal. So, what makes a buyer choose you?In this episode, I talk with Mark van Oppen, CRO of SecureAuth, to talk about what it takes to sell a must-have solution in a competitive market.Selling a Must-Have vs. a Nice-to-HaveMark explains why sellers should first identify whether their solution is truly critical to their ideal customer.A product should solve a real business problem rather than forcing urgency where none exists.Finding the right Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) can determine whether a product becomes a must-have.Mark prefers selling solutions that are foundational to the customer's business because they create stronger customer relationships.Why Buyers Ultimately Buy TrustHaving a must-have solution does not automatically mean a buyer will choose you.When multiple companies can solve the same critical problem, trust becomes a major differentiator.Sellers build trust by doing what they say they will do.Trust also comes from demonstrating expertise and understanding the customer's specific business problem.Every interaction should reinforce the buyer's confidence that you can solve the problem.Understand the Customer's Business, Not Just the IndustrySellers need to understand how a problem appears inside a specific customer's business.Different companies can experience the same technical problem in very different ways.Instead of using the same presentation for every prospect, sellers should tailor their conversations to the customer.Deep research helps sellers speak directly to the customer's situation instead of making the customer explain everything from scratch.This level of preparation can demonstrate expertise and build credibility.Use AI Without Losing the Human Side of SellingIt's possible that AI-powered sales tools would simply hide lazy sales behavior.He later became a supporter of tools such as Gong, call recording, automated notes, and follow-up summaries.These tools can help strong sellers increase their effectiveness while reducing missed details.AI should support good selling habits, not replace attention, preparation, or customer empathy.Manual note-taking still matters when automated tools are unavailable.The Three E's: Energy, Excellence, and ExperienceThe three qualities Mark considers when hiring:Energy: The enthusiasm and commitment someone brings to the work.Excellence: A demonstrated history of committing to and delivering high-quality work.Experience: Knowledge gained through time and exposure to a specific role or industry.Mark puts them in that order because he believes experience can be developed, while energy and a demonstrated commitment to excellence are harder to teach.The "Say-Do-Say" ApproachAccording to Mark, the phrase “say-do-say” describes another way of building trust.First, clearly explain what you are going to do.Then, actually do it.Finally, show the customer what you accomplished.This creates a clear connection between the customer's expectations and the outcome you delivered.It also helps sellers reinforce their credibility throughout the sales process.Using a Mutual Action PlanMark's team uses a Mutual Action Plan (MAP) during complex sales.The MAP includes:The customer's problem statement and pain points.A list of tasks that need to be completed.Stakeholders responsible for each task.Specific delivery dates.Progress updates as tasks are completed.A commercial review covering the business side of the deal.The goal is to create a shared plan where both the buyer and seller understand their responsibilities and can track progress together.Building Trust Through ExecutionA seller's job does not stop after making a promise.Following through on commitments gives the customer evidence that they can depend on you.Documenting agreements makes expectations clear and reduces confusion.Consistent execution becomes especially important when your product sits in the customer's critical path.Popular Quote:"The buyer ultimately buys trust from their vendor." — Mark van OppenResourcesLearn more about SecureAuth: secureauth.comReach Mark van Oppen: mvanoppen@secureauth.com

AI, robotics, and automation are advancing quickly, but successful transformation takes more than adopting the latest technology. It requires the right strategy, the right people, and a clear understanding of the business outcomes you're trying to achieve.In this episode of The Buzz, powered by MFG.inc, Scott Luton is joined by guest co-host Dr. Muddassir Ahmed and Christine Bush, Director of the Robotic and Motion Center of Excellence at Schneider Electric, to explore how AI and robotics are changing manufacturing and the workforce. They discuss the growing debate around AI safety and speed, why companies should focus on augmenting people rather than simply replacing them, and how manufacturers are using robotics to address skilled labor shortages and create more flexible operations. Christine also shares insights into IT/OT convergence, open software-defined automation, and what separates organizations that successfully scale automation from those that remain stuck in pilot mode.Key TakeawaysWhy organizations need a clear AI strategy that balances speed, safety, and business outcomesHow AI can augment engineers, operators, and maintenance teams rather than simply replace themWhy labor shortages are accelerating investments in robotics and advanced automationHow manufacturers can build greater flexibility into production by making robotics part of the process from the startThe role of IT/OT convergence, IoT, and open software-defined architectures in the future of manufacturingWhy successful automation projects require the right mix of people, perspectives, and technology to move beyond pilot modeAI and robotics offer enormous potential, but technology alone won't transform manufacturing. Tune in to hear practical perspectives on how manufacturers can combine human expertise with smarter automation, build more adaptable operations, and turn promising technology investments into real business value.Additional Resources & Links: MFG.inc: https://mfg.inc/With That Said: https://bit.ly/WTS-19SEP2026The Buzz APAC Edition: https://bit.ly/The-Buzz-APAC-Edition-Sept2026SCM Sensei AI: https://www.scmsensei.ai/U.S. Bank Strategic Alliance Leader page: www.supplychainnow.com/us-bankU.S. Bank Freight Payment Index: freight.usbank.comAI rivals found rare agreement on safety.

Is Data Center Water Use a Threat to Your Town, or the Money Its Water System Has Been Waiting For?Data center water use has become one of the loudest arguments about AI, from the one-bottle-per-prompt claim to US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick arguing both sides on The Daily Show. So I looked into where that water goes, what the tech giants' promises are worth, and how smart towns make the AI boom pay for better water systems.With insights from Ralph Exton, Executive Director of the Water Environment Federation (WEF), which founded the Water-AI Nexus Center of Excellence with Amazon and other partners.

Share a commentPoliticians love to talk about “values,” especially in an election year, but that word can hide a problem: what we value is not always virtuous, and what feels “right” can quietly be deadly. We start with a simple reframe that cuts through the noise. The biggest question isn't how long you're going to live. It's how you're going to live, and whether your life is actually meaningful.We open 2 Peter 1 and treat Peter's list like a divinely designed supplement program for spiritual growth: faith supplemented with virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love. Then we slow down and sit with the promise attached to it. When these qualities are yours and increasing, they keep you from becoming ineffective and unfruitful in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Peter even adds a warning-turned-invitation: practice these qualities and you “will never fall,” not as a threat of losing salvation, but as a rescue from a wasted, miserable, self-centered Christian life.From there we get practical about sanctification and daily discipleship. God has already provided the resources, but we still have to steer the car and build on the foundation. We also dig into the first supplement, virtue, not as vague niceness but as excellence, doing what God assigned you with real care, whether anyone notices or not. The final challenge gets personal: if you had one month to live, what would you start doing, stop doing, and pursue with urgency?If this encouraged you, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.

What if the qualities we already possess are enough to help us navigate whatever life throws at us? A quote from Marcus Aurelius got me thinking about gratitude, kindness, resilience, and the things within us that we might overlook until we need them. I found myself especially taken with his advice to “take full account of the excellences which you do possess,” although, naturally, I got a little distracted by his use of the word “hanker.” As a Southerner, I have questions.The older I get, the more I understand that living well has less to do with controlling what happens around me and more to do with remembering who I want to be when it does. Life will always deliver its unexpected attacks, and I won't always handle them gracefully. But when I can return to the values that matter to me, I find my footing again. Kindness, helping others, staying open to beauty, and learning from the hard moments have become their own kind of compass. Maybe being a good person isn't something we need to spend so much time defining. Maybe we just need to practice being one.Akasha's BookA spirited memoir of bold adventures, unexpected detours, and one woman's journey to create a life on her own terms, “Unbecoming Behavior, A Southern Memoir of Adventurous Choices by Akasha Halsey.” is now available!

"The foundation of the immigration system and the battles... all of that had been built brick by brick in El Paso, through both Republican and Democratic administrations." —Jazmine UlloaEpisode Description:To much of the country, Interstate 10 reaches El Paso on its way to somewhere else, the city seen as little more than a name on a sign between San Antonio and Phoenix, or as a backdrop for whatever border story dominates the news. Yet its position at a key gap in the mountains, El Paso del Norte, has anchored a pivotal crossroads for as long as people have traversed the continent. The city shares a binational life and generations of family ties with Ciudad Juárez, the older settlement on the southern bank of the Rio Grande. The two have been bound together since long before the U.S.-Mexico War placed an international boundary between them, a boundary whose precise course remained contested for decades.In El Paso: Five Families and One Hundred Years of Blood, Migration, Race, and Memory, New York Times national reporter Jazmine Ulloa returns to her hometown to tell its story through the lives of five families across a century. In that time, El Paso has been a testbed and proving ground for U.S. border and immigration policy, and the lives of its residents chart the complicated motives, successes and failures, from the establishment of the Border Patrol in the 1920s to today's Department of Homeland Security. It is a history worth understanding now, as the biggest shifts in national immigration policy play out most pointedly along the I-10 corridor.The book was inspired by a tragedy. On August 3, 2019, a gunman drove to El Paso from the Dallas area and killed 23 people at a Walmart, and later admitted choosing a border city to dissuade Hispanic immigration. Ulloa, then covering national politics for The Boston Globe, was on a plane home within a day. From the memorial that had sprung up in the Walmart parking lot, she could hear the traffic on the nearby Interstate 10. The sound that had once called her to leave became a reason to return, to understand the place she came from.In this episode, she joins Duke Reiter to discuss what she found, why she considers the comparison between El Paso and Ellis Island imperfect yet useful, and why the Ten Across region is such a revealing lens on immigration. This is where migration, enforcement and the question of who belongs are felt first and most intensely. What takes shape here tends to reach the rest of the country. As Ulloa argues, every city is now El Paso.Relevant Articles and ResourcesEl Paso: Five Families and One Hundred Years of Blood, Migration, Race, and MemoryREPORT: "Border Control: Revised Strategy Is Showing Some Positive Results""Jazmine Ulloa on 'El Paso: Five Families and One Hundred Years of Blood, Migration, Race, and Memory'"Relevant Ten Across Conversations PodcastsKyle Paoletta on American Oasis and the Southwest's Claim on the American StoryTwo Texas Cities Reexamining Data Center Deals, with Robert Moore of El Paso MattersAlternative Visions of the Southern U.S. Border Yesterday, Tomorrow and TodayCreditsHost: Duke ReiterProducer and editor: Bryce CristianoResearch and support provided by: Kate Carefoot, Rae Ulrich, and Sabine ButlerGuest Bio:Jazmine Ulloa is a national reporter for The New York Times.

If you want people to tell you what they really think, simply asking for feedback isn't enough—you have to earn their trust. In this episode, TIAA President and CEO Thasunda Brown Duckett shares practical ways leaders can get closer to their people, uncover perspectives they might otherwise miss, and create a culture where honest feedback and high expectations can coexist. Thasunda explains why leaders need to "get proximate," how she uses small-group conversations to hear directly from employees throughout the organization, and why asking for the "counter-narrative" can improve decision-making. She also explores how vulnerability creates permission for others to bring more of themselves to work, why job titles shouldn't limit someone's contribution, and how leaders can guide people through the uncertainty created by AI. Along the way, she makes the case that if leaders want excellence, they first have to earn the right to demand it.

What does it take to stay at the top for thirty years? Melina Glavas and Stewart Mann lead event sales at The Little Nell, Aspen's only five-star, five-diamond hotel, where weddings happen at eleven thousand feet and Forbes has awarded five stars every year since 1996. In this conversation they join James and Otto to talk about the thing that actually drives it all: relationships. Melina, who has been at the Nell for twenty years, and Stewart, who joined recently and plans never to leave, get honest about how they build partnerships that last, why they believe everyone succeeds or fails together, and how a new planner or photographer can genuinely break into a place like this. Along the way they share the culture behind three decades of five-star service, the story of one of the best wine programs in the world, and what it really takes to pull off a wedding on top of a mountain. Part masterclass, part love letter to Aspen.

For every five people aging out of the skilled trades, only two are stepping in behind them. Manufacturers have spent years talking about that gap. Danville, Virginia, decided to build its way out of it. In this episode, Jason Wells takes us inside the Accelerated Training in Defense Manufacturing program, where students with little or no industrial experience are prepared for careers in machining, welding, additive manufacturing, quality, and other critical trades—in just 16 weeks. But this isn't a condensed version of a traditional classroom program. Students train eight hours a day across the same three shifts they may encounter in industry. They clock in, follow travelers, complete shift handoffs, practice 5S, and learn the habits shops expect before they ever reach the floor. They're taught G and M code instead of relying solely on conversational controls, while communication, documentation, and problem-solving are treated as seriously as technical ability. Alan Pearce of Fasttech explains why this talent pipeline convinced him to build his company in Danville—and what happened after he began hiring its graduates. People who entered with no manufacturing background have become top-performing employees, shift supervisors, and, in some cases, are earning up to $50 an hour on shift. This isn't just a conversation about filling open positions. It's a look at what workforce development could become when educators, manufacturers, and government stop working in separate silos—and build the talent pipeline together.
