PREVIEW WARNING AGAINST FRAGMENTED STATE-LEVEL AI REGULATION Colleague Kevin Frazier. Kevin Frazier, a University of Texas Law School fellow, warns against fragmented AI regulation by individual states seeking tax revenue. He advocates for a national framework rather than hasty local laws, arguing that allowing technology to develop through "trial and error" is superior to heavy-handed, immediate restrictions.

Final Episode of 2025 Guest: Stephanie Snow, Chair of CIPR HealthTheme: The future of health communications, behaviour change, and reputation as we head into 2026 Episode overview We're closing out 2025 with a thoughtful, energising conversation about where health communications is heading next. Recorded earlier this year but released now to harness the fresh start effect, this episode looks squarely at the realities communicators face as we plan for 2026. Steph brings over 20 years' experience across agency and in-house roles, and shares sharp insight on leadership, professional standards, and why communications has never been more critical—or more misunderstood. A quote from Steph “Reputations are long and hard to build, and very easily broken. Organisations that treat communications as a ‘nice to have' rather than a strategic function are making themselves extremely vulnerable.” Steph's top challenges for health communications in 2026 1. Fragmented information ecosystemsAudiences now live in highly personalised, often invisible digital spaces. Conversations are happening in places communicators can't easily see, track, or respond to—raising both reputational and ethical challenges. 2. Communications being undervalued in tough economic timesWhen budgets tighten, comms roles are often the first to go. Steph argues this is a false economy: organisations that cut strategic communications weaken their ability to manage trust, credibility, and long-term impact. 3. Behaviour change in an environment stacked against healthFrom junk food saturation to commercial determinants of health, communicators are trying to influence behaviour in contexts that actively undermine healthy choices—making strategy, not just messaging, essential. 4. The shift from strategic leadership to tactical deliveryDespite rising complexity, communications is still too often reduced to outputs rather than influence. Steph makes a strong case for reclaiming comms as a core leadership and decision-making function. 5. Skills, confidence, and professional development gapsAs roles evolve, so must capability. Ongoing CPD, ethical reflection, and peer learning are no longer optional extras—they're how the profession stays credible and resilient. Stand-out moments from the conversation Why eye contact still matters—even in a Zoom-dominated world How being a “well-hidden introvert” can make you a better communicator What health communicators can learn from aviation, failure, and pre-mortems Why learning should feel energising, not like another item on the to-do list How community, connection, and shared thinking protect against burnout Book recommendation

Actor John Kapelos, best known for his iconic roles in The Breakfast Club, 16 Candles, and as the sniffing accountant on Seinfeld, joins The Neil Haley Show to discuss his extensive career as a working actor across film and television. John reflects on how the modern media landscape has fragmented from the old "monoculture" of three networks into countless streaming platforms, making recognition highly dependent on which shows audiences watch. He shares behind-the-scenes stories from his diverse roles including Jack Ruby in The Umbrella Academy, appearances on Modern Family, Lincoln Lawyer, Justified, and the vampire cop series Forever Night where he shot 48 episodes from late afternoon until early morning. John discusses his mentor's advice to "do everything" rather than turning down opportunities, explaining that while this approach has led to some questionable projects visible on his IMDB, it's also allowed him to work with great actors and explore various genres without phoning in performances based on the medium or role size.The conversation delves into the challenges and opportunities of the entertainment industry's technological evolution, with John expressing both fascination and concern about artificial intelligence's impact on acting. He discusses examples of AI cloning podcasts, generating music that competes with legitimate artists on Spotify, and the potential for voice replication that could replace traditional looping processes, while emphasizing the importance of Screen Actors Guild protections requiring actors to perform their own voice replacements. John shares his current projects including a dark comedy film awaiting producer approval, a long-form series called The Mayor of Koreatown where he serves as story editor, and a role playing John Hamm's father in a project tentatively titled Shortwave bound by non-disclosure agreements. When asked about the most important life lesson he's learned, John shares his mother's wisdom about always looking inward to see how one can improve even when blameless in a situation, emphasizing that good work should be fulfilling regardless of external rewards and that aspiring to constant improvement reflects the philosophy that has guided his varied and enduring career in Hollywood.

Why is underwriting small businesses so much harder than underwriting individuals? In this episode of The Lending Link, host Nathan George sits down with Michael LaSala from Baselayer to unpack one of the most persistent challenges in small business lending: verifying identity when businesses do not fit clean, predictable profiles.They discuss why matching business names, owners, and entities is much more complicated than verifying consumers. Fragmented data, thin files, and unstructured information make things harder for lenders, leading to more risk and manual reviews. Michael explains how lenders can use AI to organize messy data, identify useful behavioral signals, and better distinguish real businesses from fraud.They also talk about how automation speeds up decisions, helps more applicants finish the process, and lets underwriting teams focus on more important tasks. The conversation looks ahead to new trends like Know Your Agent and more applications, and to what lenders should do as AI continues to change small-business onboarding and credit decisions.

In this truth-telling episode, Dr. Connie Cheung challenges the entire wellness industry and reveals why women are more exhausted, overwhelmed, and dysregulated than ever — despite having more tools, protocols, and modalities at their fingertips. If you've been cold plunging, meditating, cleaning up your diet, doing yoga, taking supplements, tracking macros, biohacking, or stacking wellness routines… but still feel off, inflamed, anxious, or disconnected… this episode explains exactly why. You'll learn: • why fragmented wellness creates fragmented results • how nervous system dysregulation blocks gut healing, hormone balance, emotional stability, and energy • why no tool can override a dysregulated operating system • how EASE OS™ brings coherence back to the body • what systemic healing feels like (and why it's different from chasing fixes) This is the episode where Dr. Connie takes a stand — not against people, but against the systems that keep women endlessly "working on themselves" instead of actually healing. Start with the free 15-Minute EASE OS™ Reset inside the show notes to feel a full-body shift today.

Ariel Harmoko is the Co Founder and CEO of Artifact AI. Ariel joined James and Hector for a conversation that moves from race tracks to reconciliation engines.Ariel grew up in Jakarta, was thrown into Go Karts at eight, and went on to race professionally all the way to Formula 3 alongside the likes of Lando Norris and George Russell. That early immersion in high performance teams, engineering and discipline shaped how he now operates as a founder.He shares how a love of maths and science took him to boarding school in the UK, then into machine learning research at Cambridge while still a teenager, working on early diagnosis in medtech and later deploying internal GPT tools at JP Morgan.Today Ariel is building Artifact AI, an “agent accountant” that sits on top of existing ledgers like Xero, QuickBooks and NetSuite. The product tackles two huge problems for accounting firms. Fragmented legacy stacks and chronic staff shortages. Ariel explains how their agents ingest data, reconcile, post to ledgers and learn from human review, and why accuracy, auditability and trust are non negotiable in this space.The conversation covers selling into one of the most conservative industries on earth, founder led FDE style implementations, why advisory is the real margin in accounting, and how vertical AI and agentic workflows could reshape professional services.

Marc Mogull and Hani Redha dive into macro trends, technological change, inflation's “higher resting heart rate,” and the growing importance of asset scarcity and trust. 

Global investment in AI across financial services is projected to grow from USD 38.36 billion in 2024 to USD 190.33 billion by 2030, according to a 2024 market forecast by Markets and Markets. At the same time, UK regulators report that AI adoption is already widespread across the sector. A joint 2024 survey by the Bank of England and the Financial Conduct Authority found that 75 percent of UK financial services firms are already deploying AI, with a further 10 percent planning adoption within the next three years. As AI adoption accelerates, search visibility in finance is no longer dictated by traditional rankings alone. AI overviews, gen AI assistants and zero-click results now sit between customers and brand websites, reshaping how trust, authority and compliance are interpreted online. In this environment, SEO is no longer just a growth channel. It has become a frontline control mechanism for accuracy, regulatory alignment and brand credibility. To address this shift, AccuraCast has published its definitive SEO Guide for Financial Services, outlining the structural, technical and governance frameworks required for finance brands to remain visible and compliant in an AI-first discovery landscape. The insights below come from Lourenço Caliento Gonçalves, SEO Consultant at AccuraCast, who works directly with banks, insurers and fintech firms navigating this changing search environment. 1. SEO in an AI Summary World AI Overviews and assistants now sit between users and brand sites, especially on "what/how/which account/card/loan" queries in finance. Studies on financial keywords show AI modules cite only a small set of domains per answer, so visibility is increasingly about being one of the few trusted citations rather than "position 3 vs 5". Practical shifts for finance SEO: 1. Move from chasing every keyword to owning topic clusters where you can be the definitive, expert, frequently-updated source. 2. Design pages that both: Feed AI (clear entities, schema, citations, expert authorship) and Still convert in a zero?click world (compelling USP, tools, calculators, comparison tables that go beyond the AI summary). 2. SEO's Role in Accuracy and Compliance Because finance is considered a YMYL (your money, your life) category, search systems and AI models heavily weigh accuracy, disclosures and regulatory alignment. Regulators like the SEC, FCA, CFTC, BaFin, ESMA, EIOPA and EBA set rules for product communication, risk disclosure and data/privacy that directly affect how content can be written and tracked. SEO becomes a compliance ally by: Embedding governance into content workflows: versioning, review logs, jurisdiction tagging, "last updated" labels, and mandated disclaimers on all money pages. Hard-coding technical safeguards: secure-by-default (HTTPS, HSTS), cookie and tracking consent, correct handling of PII, and robust legal/Ts & Cs/privacy internal linking so crawlers and users always see compliant context. 3. SEO Challenges When Adding AI and Automation Banks, insurers and fintechs are accelerating AI and agent use across content, but surveys show the main friction points are compliance overhead, skills gaps and governance. SEO?specific pain points typically include: Drift from brand and regulatory language: AI can introduce unapproved promises, omit mandatory risk language or hallucinate product conditions, creating both compliance and ranking risk on YMYL topics. Inconsistent E-E-A-T: At scale, content may lack real experts, citations and author bios, weakening trust signals for both search and AI engines that now cross?check authority more strictly for finance queries. Fragmented workflows: Legal/compliance reviews are often still manual and periodic, while AI can publish or update faster than teams can approve, which creates a backlog or the risk of rogue content going live. Mitigations that work: Guardrailed generation: Fix templates with "non-editable" compliance blocks per product/region; restrict RAG systems ...

 The Arduous Southern Tour and Charleston's Splendor — Nathaniel Philbrick — In 1791, Washington undertook a grueling three-month, 2,000-mile tour of the American South over "impassable" roads designed to unite the fragmented southern states with the federal government. This journey into "terra incognita" required construction of a custom carriage and immense logistical coordination involving supplies, security, and official ceremonies. In Charleston, Washingtonwas welcomed with extraordinary luxury built entirely upon the institution of slavery and enslaved labor. Philbrickinterweaves his personal research methodology, describing the role of librarians in historical investigation, and recounts climbing the spire of St. Michael's Church. Standing 186 feet in the air where Washington historically stood created a "historical vortex," dramatically bridging the temporal gap between the eighteenth century and contemporary historical consciousness. 1755

"We care witnessing in the digital news reports a major shift since the COVID-19 crisis. (…). During the COVID crisis, the main information source became social media. With social media, you have many, many difficulties in finding the rightinformation or the correct information”, stated Raluca Radu, a Professor of Journalism and Communication Studies at the University of Bucharest, speaker for the Budapest Forum and contributor to the Reuters Institute Digital Report.  In a conversation for the Review of Democracy, she explains how social platforms like TikTok, WhatsApp groups, and AI-driven chatbots reconfigure the trust towards information. As Raluca Radu clearly emphasizes, COVID-19 marked a shiftin media consumption. During the pandemic, the main source of information became the short-form video content on platforms such as TikTok. Some newsrooms recognized that their audiences migrated elsewhere and rushed to follow. They tried to adapt to this changing landscape by establishing social media presence. By now, social media is not only an additional channel of dissemination but, in some cases, the only way to reach citizens who do not read traditional websites or watch TV. Thus, social media and algorithmsredefine the public sphere worldwide. This poses new problems. Whilst seemingly the AI data appears to be neutral, it might often be biased. Thus, this shift might need new conceptual approaches. Throughout her research, Raluca Radu puts a strong emphasis on the topic of trust. As she explains, this concept can be extremely valuable. For instance,  trust in media tends to decrease duringpolitical crises, particularly when politicians attack media companies. Economic divides complicate this already fragile situation. The misinformation and radicalization is also created by the lack of access to good quality information. Whilst the Nordic countries show high subscription rates and mediatrust, the Romanian model follows a different model. Here, the audiences expect free and high-quality information. In this context, investigative journalism relies more often on crowdfunding than on paywalls. Consequences are visible. Romania's 2024 elections showed that the rise of fringe political figures such as Călin Georgescu was driven less by overt campaigning (grassroots) than coordinated comment networks and WhatsApp chains (known as astroturfing). The comments on the posts were often AI-generated. Such tactics were much more difficult to spot by researchers and electoral regulators. Raluca Radu is not merely diagnosing the problem. Instead, as a researcher in PROMPT, she is contributing to developingan AI-assisted tool that tracks harmful narratives across languages and platforms. Throughout the podcast, Raluca Radu's emphasis is that the public sphere seems to be fragmented, but not beyond repair. Understanding the newframeworks of information consumption is the first step towards building strong, trustworthy content.

Susan Grant, Chief Clinical Officer at symplr, reviews findings from their annual Compass Survey, which revealed the significant challenges hospitals face, driven by financial pressures, clinician burnout, and operational inefficiencies.  Fragmented technology systems create significant administrative burdens, and there is growing recognition that unifying healthcare operations and strategically implementing AI are crucial to streamlining workflows. Clinicians' involvement in the design and implementation of new processes and procedures is essential to ensure that patients' real-world needs are properly addressed. Susan explains, "The annual Compass Survey, is actually our fourth survey that we've done here at symplr, and the goal of the survey is to drive awareness around the need for and benefits of streamlining healthcare operations software. So it's a way to get feedback from our customers, clients, and leaders out in the healthcare world."  "I've been a Chief Nurse for the last 30 years in different health systems around the country, and we do tend to be a very reactive industry. However, I think it's built and intensified over the last few years because of issues we're seeing that have also intensified, including finances, workplace violence, clinician burnout, and cybersecurity. Those are some of the top issues our healthcare systems are dealing with. So I think that the reactivity of trying to really deal with those various issues has intensified and created this reactivity." #symplr #CompassSurvey #HealthcareIT #HealthcareOperations #symplrOperationsPlatform #HealthcareAI symplr.com Download the transcript here

2/3. The Civic Communion Debate — Gaius observes that despite ceremonial declarations of national strength, the United States remains profoundly fragmented domestically. Germanicus presents French philosophical recommendations for "Civic Communion," emphasizing shared, major institutions—Religion, Military, Education, Healthcare—where citizens belong to each other transcending immutable background characteristics. Germanicushighlights that the US prioritizes enshrining individual rights and liberty but neglects fraternity, the concept providing implicit kinship and reciprocal obligation among citizens. Gaius articulates French exceptionalism, which embraces those joining the French civilizational sphere; the French concept of laïcité requires that kinship to France supersede sectarian and identitarian attachments. Germanicus emphasizes that the US has failed to cultivate the idea of constituting a "people" and lacks emotional bonds necessary for sustained national unity. Gaius notes this fragmentation was temporarily healed during the World Wars but is now fully developed, resembling divisions of the 1840s-1850s. Germanicus describes contemporary American society as characterized by "bile and rancor," where citizens are rewarded for denouncing American institutions, rendering reestablishment of "imagined kinship" extraordinarily difficult and requiring fundamental reconceptualization of national identity and shared purpose. 1908 FRENCH GRAND PRIX

In this episode of Explaining History, Nick takes a hard look at the state of the British Left in late 2025. With the Starmer government firmly entrenched in "continuity Thatcherism," the opposition has splintered. We analyze the chaotic founding conference of the new left-wing coalition, "Your Party," led by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana.From walkouts and factional disputes to the return of the "spectre of entryism" by the Socialist Workers Party (SWP), we explore why the Left seems addicted to infighting at the moments it is needed most. Is the new Green Party under Zack Polanski the only viable home for progressives, or can the new Independent alliance survive its own birth?Key Topics:The Post-2024 Landscape: How Labour abandoned the Left.The "Your Party" Crisis: Inside the chaotic first conference and Zarah Sultana's walkout.The Return of Entryism: How the SWP and open membership could kill the new party.Green Shoots: The rise of Zack Polanski's Green Party as a serious socialist alternativeExplaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

The cost of fraud for banks and credit unions continues to rise, with every $1 lost resulting in nearly $6 in total costs once compliance, operations, and customer trust are factored in. In this interview, Jeff Scott with Q2 will explore how banks can address this growing challenge by shifting from fragmented, reactive defenses to a proactive "Fraud Intelligence" approach. He will discuss how data-driven insights, automation, and integration can reduce inefficiencies, cut the true cost of fraud, and strengthen both protection and customer experience.

Money Travels Podcast Season 3, Episode 12For migrant workers sending remittances back home, cross-border payments can be slow, complex and expensive. It was this challenge Ambar Sur set out to solve when he left his telecom background and co-founded Terrapay in 2014. Inspired by telecom's seamless global connectivity, Ambar set about building a robust network to enable instant, low-cost digital transactions, helping workers move more money more quickly across borders and increasing financial inclusion in the process. In this episode, we talk to Ambar about his Terrapay journey and how digital wallets are reshaping financial ecosystems to meet UN Sustainable Development Goals. We discuss the power of interoperability, explore the real-world impact of digital wallets, and ask about the challenges still to be addressed in the quest for borderless financial connectivity.Learn more about Visa Direct: visa.com/visadirectConnect with Visa Direct on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/visa-direct/Disclaimers:Visa Direct capability is enabled through a financial institution partner.

Various Scriptures | 11/16/25 | Pastor Matt Jones. We explore the rich theology of the Nicene Creed on its 1,700th anniversary.

Sex as the Theater of Trauma, the Refuge of the Fragmented, and the Doorway to the Self We Fear to Meet. Krishnamurti said the human mind is endlessly escaping itself through entertainment, through belief, through identity, through addiction and sex is the most socially acceptable escape of all. Not because sex is wrong.

Pete Heim and I discuss the slow decline of enclosed malls against the rise of mixed-use districts, then dig into local housing data, the real impact of the Federal Government Shutdown on loans, and why mortgage rates follow the 10-year Treasury instead of the Fed.

Peggy Smedley and Sam Barker, VP of global telecom market research, Juniper Research, talk about what is driving the surge in global smart building platforms. He says this is driven by many factors including the energy crisis and the ability to monitor and have greater visibility of the energy we are using. They also discuss: · If interoperability is still a barrier and if anything is changing here. · Connectivity and how the market has become saturated. · The IoT (Internet of Things) and AI (artificial intelligence) and how each comes into play in smart buildings. https://www.juniperresearch.com/

Send us a textThe constant focus on things and people outside of your control is draining. I spent too many years of my life in this vicious cycle of external focus and validation, leaving me feeling like a fragmented, boundaryless version of myself. But all that changed with recovery. This week on the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I am sharing the recording of a guest appearance I did with the international recovery community, Friendly Circle Berlin. I share my story of codependency, how ACA and OA shaped my healing, why emotional sobriety is the centerpiece of my life, and five ways to keep the focus on yourself so you can create internal safety from the inside out. The five takeaways I go over in this episode include:Shift your focus to what you can control. Practice the power of self-inquiry. Mind your own business (and seek consent).Identify and own your feelings. Pour from the overflow. You are not shattered; you are whole. The key to lasting emotional sobriety is caring more about what you think of yourself than what others think of you. Start today by choosing integrity over people-pleasing. Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

JAMES | James 3: Fragmented Tongue / Flourishing Wisdom | Benji Horning

It proposes that the human psyche functions as a holographic microcosm of the cosmos—each person a localized expression of the same fundamental awareness that animates all existence. Just as every fragment of a hologram contains the pattern of the whole image, each human being carries the complete blueprint of wholeness within them, even when trauma, conditioning, or egoic distortion obscures that pattern. From this perspective, psychological fragmentation—the unhealed wounds, dissociated memories, and defensive identities we carry—is not a permanent flaw but a phase distortion within the holographic field of consciousness. These distortions create what appear to be isolated “pocket realities” or wound-based worlds: self-reinforcing loops of perception where the nervous system, seeking safety, limits awareness to familiar pain.

UNIFIL's Failure, Hezbollah's Rebuilding, and Syria's Fragmented Future. Edmund Fitton-Brown, Ahmad Sharawi, and Bill Roggio label the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) a "spectacular failure" that allowed Hezbollah's military buildup near the Israeli border. Despite the ceasefire terms requiring demilitarization south of the Litani River, the Lebanese government is stalling. Hezbollah is actively rebuilding its infrastructure, forcing Israel to conduct targeted enforcement actions. They also discuss Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, who is seeking international legitimacy, sanctions relief, and partners to counter ISIS, even as his state remains domestically fragmented by regional demands for separation or autonomy. 1895 BEIRUT

PREVIEW: The Syrian Quandary: Clashes Threaten Security Gap and ISIS Reemergence GUEST NAME: Ahmad Sharawi (Foundation for Defense of Democracies) 100-WORD SUMMARY: Ahmad Sharawi discusses the fragmented Syrian quandary, which faces threats, chiefly from the Islamic State (ISIS). Recent clashes occurred between the Syrian government and the U.S.-allied, Kurdish-led SDF, which controls about 30% of northeast Syria. Although there are positive signs for the SDF to integrate into the Syrian military, a war between the forces (potentially involving Turkey) could create a security gap or power vacuum. This vacuum would lead to the release and regrouping of Islamic State terrorists from existing camps and prisons, causing a reemergence of ISIS that threatens the whole region.
