In this episode of AML Conversations, host John Byrne welcomes Tess Davis, Executive Director of the Antiquities Coalition, for a timely discussion on the intersection of cultural heritage crime and financial crime. From the looting of museums and archaeological sites in conflict zones such as Ukraine and Sudan to the exploitation of the global art market for money laundering and sanctions evasion, Tess explains why antiquities trafficking is far more than a cultural issue—it is a financial crime issue. The conversation explores the Rome Statement on Art Market Integrity, the growing role of law enforcement agencies like the Manhattan District Attorney's Antiquities Trafficking Unit, and bipartisan efforts in the United States to bring the art market under the AML regulatory framework. Tess also shares real-world examples of how stolen artifacts are laundered into legitimate collections and outlines key red flags financial institutions should understand when assessing risks tied to art and antiquities transactions. This episode offers valuable insights into a rapidly evolving threat landscape and the collaborative efforts underway to combat it.

Anita Smith is wearing purple work gloves and has a walkie talkie clipped to shirt when I meet her at W.E. Graham Park a few days before the Saskatoon Fringe Festival is set to begin. She and her team of staff and volunteers are setting up for the festival and are not letting city construction get in the way of hosting another wonderful festival. It has been another busy year for Anita. As Artistic and Executive Director of Saskatoon's 25th Street Theatre Company, she has overseen a year of innovative and engaging theatre productions. She also found time to direct a Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan production of Much Ado About Nothing this summer. Anita is pulled in many different directions, and I am always grateful for the time she makes to appear on the podcast. This year's Fringe Festival is bringing theatre productions from across North America, around the world, and in our own backyard, to four theatres in the Broadway neighbourhood from July 30th to August 8th. The festival is also creating community through innovative programming including a local theatre company made up of teens who are producing their own fringe play! Anita shares stories and details about this year's festival, along with the challenges posed by another year of construction in the Broadway neighbourhood, in our conversation. She also shares why this will be her final year at the helm of the Fringe Festival. I hope to see you at one of the plays during the festival and thank you for continuing to support a local, independent podcast here in Saskatoon!

This is the shorter "highlights" version of the episode. Coach Bill Courtney sits down with Chris Campbell, Executive Director of Oklahoma's 111 Project, to unpack how Oklahoma has cut the number of children in foster care nearly in half—from 11,500 to 6,000—and what communities across America can learn from their success. Rather than pointing fingers at government, Chris shares how churches, nonprofits, everyday citizens, and public agencies began working together to build practical pathways for people to help. From recruiting foster families to preventing children from entering foster care in the first place, this conversation is full of ideas that any community can adopt. Chris also shares the deeply personal moment that changed the course of his life: holding a two-day-old baby with nowhere to go. In this episode: Why America has a foster parent shortage—and the consequences for children. How Oklahoma dramatically reduced the number of kids in foster care. Why prevention is just as important as recruiting foster families. The story behind CarePortal and how a simple app is helping keep families together. Why supporting struggling families often matters more than removing children. The surprising role churches can play in solving one of America's biggest challenges.

Why Your Best People Want You to Leave Them Alone There is a pattern Nathan Jamail has seen across hundreds of organizations, in every industry, at every level. Ask employees what their professional goal is, and most will eventually tell you: to be so good their boss leaves them alone. That is not apathy. That is a signal about how leadership is being experienced. In this episode, Nathan and Rocky go deep on why coaching cultures fail not because leaders lack intention, but because they spend their attention on exactly the wrong people. In This Episode: Why 90% of employees at every level aim to be left alone by their manager, and what that reveals about leadership The distinction between coaching those who need attention and those who deserve it Why the leader in the middle is the most powerful and most overlooked force in any organization How AI will eliminate the leader who manages through process and amplify the one who leads through genuine connection Why promoting the best salesperson into management is often the most costly mistake a company makes What "serve up, coach down" actually requires at every layer of an organization Why accountability and mandating behavior are acts of belief, not control Key Insights: Leaders default to spending time with struggling employees while leaving high performers alone. The consequence: high performers learn that good performance means less coaching, and they plateau. The goal is not buy-in. Buy-in is compliance. The goal is belief, and belief is built through alignment from the very top down. AI will not replace the leader. It will replace the manager who adds no human value. Connection, trust, and accountability cannot be automated. The leader in the middle (the director, the senior manager) holds more organizational power than anyone above or below them. They make or break alignment. Accountability is not control. It is the highest form of belief in another person's capacity. About Nathan Jamail: Nathan Jamail is a record-setting performer, CEO, Adjunct Professor in the MBA program at SMU's Cox School of Business, where he has earned more than 18 Teacher Excellence Awards, and a bestselling author of leadership and sales books. During his tenure as an Executive Director at a Fortune 100 company, Nathan built and led seven #1 producing teams across five states and Puerto Rico. He has also built, scaled, and sold multiple small businesses, bringing real-world corporate and entrepreneurial leadership experience to everything he teaches. For more than two decades, Nathan has coached and developed leaders on three continents and thousands around the world. His leadership principles now serve as the backbone for organizations across manufacturing, finance, technology, communications, hospitality, and more. In a business climate shaped by AI acceleration and constant disruption, Nathan helps organizations leverage technology without losing their human edge, building teams that win through clarity, discipline, accountability, and trust.

Interviews with pioneers in business and social impact - Business Fights Poverty Spotlight
What does it take to solve the world's most complex challenges? According to partnership expert Darian Stibbe, the answer isn't better technology, bigger budgets or stronger institutions working alone, it's collaboration. From rocket science to systems change: Darian Stibbe explains why effective partnerships matter more than ever. Social Impact Pioneer, Darian, Executive Director of The Partnering Initiative (TPI), shares insights from more than 20 years spent helping businesses, governments, NGOs, philanthropies and international organisations work together to create lasting social and environmental impact. Before becoming one of the world's leading voices on cross-sector collaboration, Darian was a NASA scientist and quantum physicist, a journey that gives him a perspective on complexity, systems thinking and change second to none. Drawing on real-world examples, Darian challenges one of the biggest misconceptions about partnerships: that collaboration is a natural skill. Instead, he argues that partnering is a professional discipline that can be learned, practised and continuously improved. He explains why partnerships often fail not because of the people involved, but because organisations lack the systems, culture and incentives needed to support genuine collaboration. The conversation explores the growing shift towards systems change and multi-stakeholder partnerships, particularly as organisations face increasingly interconnected challenges, from climate resilience and sustainable supply chains to public service delivery and economic development. Darian also highlights the often-overlooked role of philanthropy as a catalyst for transformation, not just funding solutions, but bringing diverse actors together to unlock change at scale. Packed with practical insights, compelling stories and reasons for optimism, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on how organisations can move beyond transactional relationships and build partnerships capable of delivering transformational impact.

Meet Jaimie Stoltzfus of P Bar Ranch and Cowgirl Meat Company and Amber Smith of Antelope Springs Ranch and Executive Director of Women in Ranching. Though separated by hundreds of miles, these first-generation ranchers, mothers, and collaborators are united by a common vision for the future of ranching. Together, they share the story of an innovative partnership raising calves on Montana's Northern Great Plains and grass-finishing them in the Absaroka Mountains to produce regeneratively raised, grass-finished beef. Along the way, they reflect on breaking into a traditionally male-dominated industry, and why collaboration—not competition—is helping build a more resilient future for ranchers, rural communities, and the land.
The Pastorate's Lead Pastor FellowshipEmotionally Healthy DiscipleshipHope Church NYCBeautiful, Disappointing, Hopeful by Drew HyunA Grace Disguised by Dr. Jerry SittserWater from a Deep Well by Dr. Jerry SittserThe Pastorate ConferenceThe Pastorate's City MeetupsThe Pastorate Pastors RetreatEpisode NotesToday's episode is part three of our summer series exploring our pastoral formation cohorts here at The Pastorate. This episode features Drew Hyun and Dr. Jerry Sittser, profiling their time spent with last year's cohort of The Lead Pastor Fellowship. Drew Hyun is the Lead Pastor of Hope Church NYC and Executive Director of Emotionally Healthy Discipleship. Drew shares the unpolished version of his own story: growing up a pastor's kid in a Korean immigrant church that split twice before he hit middle school, watching his father go from a harsh, at times violent man at home to a celebrated Christian author and speaker in Korea, and the gap that opened up between his own public ministry persona and a private life marked by hidden addiction and unprocessed rage. He traces how a chance internship exposed him to Pete Scazzero's "iceberg" picture of discipleship, the ten percent above the surface and ninety percent buried beneath it, and how that encounter became the seed of emotionally healthy discipleship in his own life. Drew confesses that it's entirely possible to do ministry for God without God, and that the deepest work of leadership is letting Jesus into the deepest and darkest parts of our hearts. Following Drew, Dr. Jerry Sittser, Professor Emeritus of Theology and Senior Fellow at Whitworth University, teaches on pastoral care through irreversible loss, the kind that permanently changes the landscape of a life. Drawing on his own experience, losing his wife, mother, and daughter in a single car accident, Dr. Sittser rejects the idea of "stages of grief" and other neat recovery paradigms in favor of learning to carry loss for good, being transformed rather than finding resolution. He offers pastors concrete counsel: resist rushing to answers, know which biblical text fits which moment, help people ritualize mourning instead of just enduring it, and help them build a community of people who can shoulder their burdens.In this episode you'll hear:Drew's story of growing up a pastor's kid inside two church splits, including a church fistfight that the LAPD had to break up,An exploration of the phrase: "Jesus may live in your heart, but Grandpa lives in your bones,"Why it's entirely possible to do ministry for God without God, even while seeing real spiritual fruit,Pete Scazzero's iceberg image and how it became the seed of a discipleship model that goes beneath the surface,Dr. Sittser's own story of catastrophic loss, and why he rejects "stages of grief" in favor of integration and transformation,How to discern when to speak and when to sit in silence with someone carrying irreversible loss,Practical postures for walking with people through suffering.

Part 1 Kelly Sutliff is a Licensed Professional Counselor, advocate, speaker, and the Founder and Executive Director of Kelly's K9s, Tails of Courage, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing highly trained personal protection dogs to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault at no cost. With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, Kelly has dedicated her career to helping others heal, rebuild, and rediscover their strength. Her work as a psychotherapist, combined with her own lived experience as a survivor, gives her a unique and powerful perspective on trauma, resilience, and empowerment. After surviving a life changing domestic violence incident in 2019, Kelly transformed her pain into purpose. Her own protection dog, Stella, became a crucial part of reclaiming her safety, independence, and confidence. That bond inspired the creation of Kelly's K9s, where she now helps other survivors experience that same sense of security and freedom. Her journey has been featured nationally on the television series Toxic: Sleeping With a Stranger on Investigation Discovery and streaming platforms, where she shared her story to raise awareness about domestic violence, survivor safety, and the gaps that still exist within the system. Today, Kelly continues to turn survival into action through advocacy, education, and her work with both people and dogs. She speaks openly about domestic violence, healing after trauma, and the importance of empowering survivors beyond simply surviving. Through Kelly's K9s, her clinical work, and her public advocacy, Kelly's mission is to change the conversation around survivor support and prove that even from the darkest chapters, strength, purpose, and courage can rise.

In the past week, podcast listeners to this show have come from across the US, Canada, Austria, the UK, and Spain. If you’re one of our far-flung podcast listeners, "Hello!" If you live in New Orleans, you might hear us on WWNO. In which case you will have probably heard, as part of the local news, reporters from The Gulf States Newsroom. The Gulf States Newsroom is an NPR-driven news-gathering collaboration of WWNO, WRKF in Baton Rouge, and NPR stations in Alabama and Mississippi. It was launched in 2020, by NPR and the Corporation For Public Broadcasting. In 2025, the Corporation For Public Broadcasting was de-funded by Congress and no longer exists. Those same budget cuts ate into the financial viability of all public broadcasting outlets – including the member stations of the Gulf States Newsroom - forcing them to scramble to come up with strategies to stay funded. You can’t accuse the Deep South of being ahead of the game in much, but in the case of The Gulf States Newsroom, back in 2022 they’d hired Marci Schramm as their Director of Development, an HR term that roughly translates to, “The person we all depend on to go out and find money to fund this thing.” Marci’s background included 9 years as Executive Director of New Orleans’ French Quarter Festival – the years that saw its most explosive growth – and that’s when we first met her here on Out to Lunch, in 2016. Today, Marci ensures the Gulf States Newsroom continues to run at full capacity as it earns numerous prestigious Edward R Murrow Awards for journalism. When you watch the news on TV, you’re quite often looking at film of people in life and death situations in other countries, and sometimes in other cities in the US. If you live in New Orleans, you’ve probably had the unnerving experience of relying on this kind of news footage to assess the risk to your own life at the hands of a hurricane or flood. It’s essential here to have a TV news station you can trust. It’s too late for a news outlet to earn that kind of trust the day before a storm blows into town and for that reason, despite our reputation as “The City That Care Forgot,” we take local news reporting seriously in New Orleans. WWL TV is one of the oldest television stations in the South. Tod Smith began working there as a production assistant in 1980 while he was a student at Loyola University – which at that time owned WWL. Tod graduated from college, worked for a while for Shell Oil, went back to TV and was Sales Manager at WWL in the 1990’s, then went into management at stations in Arizona and Virginia before coming back home to take over as General Manager of WWL TV in 2012. He’s still the station’s General Manager today. People will tell you they’re a cat person or a dog person. They’re mountain people or beach people. And then there are NPR listeners and – believe it or not - people who have never-even-one-time listened to public radio.You can’t hate those folks – they don’t know what they’re missing. But we NPR listeners absolutely know what we’d be missing if public radio went away. So, we’re all exceptionally grateful to Marci Schramm for everything she does every day to keep public radio news on the air. And with a legacy that includes Nash Roberts, Garland Robinette, Eric Paulsen, Sally Ann Roberts, Angela Hill, Hap Glaudi, and Morgus the Magnificent, WWL-TV is a part of the history of modern New Orleans. As General Manager of the station, Tod Smith is a part of that history now too. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans.

When people talk about teens on the street in the summer, they're often talking about some kind of trouble. But Fab Youth Philly is flipping that stereotype by sending teens out to the streets…to play.

Shara Dae Howard gets a look at the social experiment gone viral called “Let's Talk”. See the phone messages on Instagram: @realfallrisk.
Fifty years after the Supreme Court reinstated capital punishment, the death penalty remains one of America's most divisive issues. Supporters argue it delivers justice for the most heinous crimes, provides closure for victims' families, and ensures the worst offenders can never kill again. Opponents point to wrongful convictions, racial disparities, and the moral consequences of allowing the state to take a life, arguing that life without parole is enough. Now we debate: Should the Death Penalty Be Abolished? This ethical conundrum is at the crux of this week's debate, originally broadcast in April 2015. Arguing YES: Diann Rust-Tierney, Executive Director of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty Barry Scheck, Co-Director of the Innocence Project and Professor at Cardozo Law School Arguing NO: Robert Blecker, Professor at New York Law School Kent Scheidegger, Legal Director of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates Join the conversation on Substack—share your perspective on this episode and subscribe to our weekly newsletter for curated insights from our debaters, moderators, and staff.

It's becoming increasingly clear that how we talk about climate change matters as much as the science or policy itself. The words we use carry weight, and climate communicator Susan Joy Hassol says specific word choices, like “heat-trapping pollution” rather than “greenhouse gases,” can cut through polarization and help messages resonate with a wider range of people. Equally important is listening to what people and communities need to better handle the impacts from climate disruption. And different audiences need different approaches. For example: adults can help children process climate fear and grief without overwhelming them by offering age-appropriate honesty paired with validation of their emotions. Good communication can be one of the most effective forms of climate action.

As the Iran war escalates, the world's most vital chokepoints are coming under increasing threat. Iran's disruption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has already rattled global energy markets. Now, the Houthis could obstruct things further, launching a blockade on Saudi shipping in the Red Sea, and threatening to close the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. The two narrow waterways carry not only oil and gas, but also vast quantities of food and humanitarian supplies. Carl Skau, the acting Executive Director of the World Food Programme, has travelled to many of the world's worst humanitarian hot spots, witnessing both the scale of the suffering and the difficulties of delivering aid.

Patrick Witt, the White House's executive director for digital assets policy, calls in mid-episode to give the Chopping Block crew a live read on the CLARITY market structure bill! Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week they're joined mid-episode by Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the President's Council of Advisors for Digital Assets, who dialed in late because he was literally chasing down bill language. First, Tarun explains how Gauntlet closed its biggest raise ever, $125M from SBI Holdings, the crypto OGs of Japan and early Ripple Labs backers, and what it cost him in suits and seven straight days of staying shaved (chairman Kitao-san reportedly listens). Then the crew dissects Balaji's Network School saga, from a Forest City ghost town in Malaysia to an immigration raid, a revoked license, and a sudden MOU-fueled pivot to Kazakhstan, with Tom's dreaded 'turkey chart' making an appearance. Finally, the main event: Patrick lays out the state of play on the CLARITY market structure bill, the August 7th recess deadline, the ~46% Polymarket coin flip, and the first-of-its-kind ethics provision, including the DOJ-versus-state-AG enforcement fight and whether crypto gets a second crack after midterms.

In today's episode of the Consumer Finance Monitor Podcast, we are pleased to present an audio version of the webinar we conducted on May 27, 2026 examining the CFPB's revised final rule and its practical implications for banks, credit unions, FinTech companies, and other providers of small business credit. During this comprehensive discussion, our host, Alan Kaplinsky (founder, former Practice Group Leader for 25 years and now Senior Counsel of the Consumer Financial Services Group) was joined by his Ballard Spahr colleagues Richard Andreano and John Culhane, along with two distinguished guest panelists: Bradley Blower, Principal and Founder of Inclusive-Partners, LLC, and Louis Caditz-Peck, Executive Director of the Responsible Business Lending Coalition. Key Topics Discussed: · The most significant differences between the CFPB's original 2023 Section 1071 rule and the revised 2026 final rule. · Why the Bureau substantially increased the institutional coverage threshold from 100 to 1,000 covered originations. · The practical implications of narrowing the definition of a "small business," reducing the required data points, and excluding merchant cash advances and agricultural loans from coverage. · Whether the revised rule still fulfills Congress's objectives of promoting fair lending and improving transparency in the small business lending market. · The operational and technology challenges lenders should begin addressing now—even though compliance is not required until January 1, 2028. · How institutions can use Section 1071 data not only for compliance but also as a competitive business intelligence tool. · The potential fair lending, supervisory, and reputational risks created by the public availability of Section 1071 data. · The current status of litigation challenging the original Section 1071 rule and whether additional lawsuits challenging the revised rule are likely. · Predictions regarding how the rule may evolve over time, including whether future administrations could expand its scope in a manner similar to the evolution of HMDA reporting. Whether your institution expects to be covered by the revised rule or not, this discussion provides valuable insight into the future direction of small business lending regulation and offers practical guidance on how lenders should prepare now for the compliance, operational, and strategic issues that lie ahead. Consumer Finance Monitor is hosted by Alan Kaplinsky, Senior Counsel at Ballard Spahr, and the founder and former chair of the firm's Consumer Financial Services Group. We encourage listeners to subscribe to the podcast on their preferred platform for weekly insights into developments in the consumer finance industry.

"It is getting pesticides out of the vineyard. It's making sure that when we send a worker home, they're not going home and hugging their child with any other pesticide or herbicide. It is a mission, but it does start with the dirt, and it has to flow all the way through the winery into the bottle." —Jeff O'Neill "A lot of times, people think about the environmental side of sustainability, but it's also about the social pieces— how you treat your employees, worker health and safety, and also how you exist within the community." —Allison Jordan Regenerative organic wine sounds like a buzzword — until you stand in a vineyard that's actually living it. This week, Justine Reichman sits down at Ram's Gate Winery with Allison Jordan (VP of Environmental Affairs, Wine Institute) and Jeff O'Neill (founder, Ram's Gate and O'Neill Vintners & Distillers) to unpack what real stewardship looks like when an entire industry commits to it. Key takeaways: How the California Code of Sustainable Wine Growing turned 200+ best practices into a statewide movement, covering everything from soil health to worker safety What it actually takes to earn CCOF Organic and Regenerative Organic Certification — including the 3-to-5-year soil conversion most people never hear about Why Ramsgate planted fruit trees inside its vineyard rows, and what that agroforestry bet could mean for the next 20 years The honest answer to the question every skeptic asks: Does regenerative wine actually taste as good? This conversation is proof that sustainability isn't a marketing layer — it's a rebuild from the soil up, and it's changing what "good wine" means.

First, the latest news with friend of the pod Katie Phang, including a look at Todd Blanche's Senate confirmation hearing, which certainly confirmed one thing: once you're Trump's personal lawyer, you're forever Trump's personal lawyer. Then, a conversation about making the courts an electoral issue and why we need fresh candidates for judicial seats with Run for Something's Amanda Litman. Finally, ahead of a crucial August 4th ballot measure in Kansas, Kate speaks with Micah Kubic, Executive Director of the ACLU of Kansas, and Emily Wales, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Great Plains, about how Republicans in Kansas are trying to change how justices are selected for the state supreme court in order to walk back abortion rights.
