In this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, senior journalist Robert Dougherty is joined by Miles Chambers, senior vice president of international business development at EDGE Group, to discuss how the United Arab Emirates established and manages its own defence prime to work collaboratively with government, provide leadership in industry and coordinate defence exports. Chambers, with more than two decades of experience in the defence sector, leads EDGE Group's international growth strategy, overseeing export sales and global partnerships. He holds a bachelor of commerce degree in information systems and a bachelor of commerce (honours) degree in information systems from the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. The pair discuss a range of issues, including: EDGE Group's recent achievements in defence projects since it's establishment in 2019 and the acquisition of Estonian robotics company Milrem Robotics and Swedish VTOL company Anavia. How the company effectively coordinates its separate branches and more than 35 entities across the differing environments of land, sea, air, space and cyber. The increasing focus on the importance of domestic manufacturing ability in the UAE, compared to traditional acquisition of externally produced international defence technology and vehicles. Initiatives to help UAE citizens enter or work in the defence industry, as a foundation principle of the company. EDGE Group's market-leading strategy in prioritising domestic research and manufacturing of drones, artificial intelligence and uncrewed robotic systems. Corporate strategy and defence priority projects into the future, such as uncrewed aircraft and automation. Enjoy the podcast, The Defence Connect Team

From burnout to breakthrough—how one MBA rewired his entire life.Success didn't feel like success until he found alignment.

Three-time Olympic gold medalist Carrie Bates isn't just celebrating over a decade of sobriety—she's revolutionizing how workplaces approach addiction recovery. As Director of Strategic Growth and Advocacy at Caron Treatment Centers, Carrie brings a powerful dual perspective to the conversation on substance dependence in professional environments.Over 26 million Americans report struggling with addiction, with countless others suffering silently. Furthermore, 80% of people who abuse substances are employed. Yet stigma and fear of career consequences keep many from seeking help through their HR departments or employee assistance programs. This silence allows addiction to progress unchecked, affecting productivity, attendance, and overall culture.Caron Treatment Centers stands out in the recovery landscape through its focus on brain health and neuro-restorative care. Using advanced technology like PET scans, they examine blood flow and neural activity, often discovering that patients have been misdiagnosed with conditions like ADHD or bipolar disorder. This neurological approach treats addiction as a medical condition rather than a moral failing—a crucial distinction for workplace policies.In this discussion with Bill Banham, Carrie shares candidly about losing her career in sports marketing because of a lack of supportive recovery protocols. "There was no culture, no environment to which this was an acceptable conversation to have," she explains. This experience fuels her advocacy for HR policies that treat addiction with the same compassion as other medical conditions, including graduated return-to-work plans and appropriate accommodations.Corporate culture often unwittingly excludes those in recovery through alcohol-centered events like "Thirsty Thursdays" and "Wine Wednesdays." Carrie doesn't suggest eliminating these traditions but recommends including appealing non-alcoholic options so everyone feels "a part of, rather than apart from" these important social experiences. For executives and high-profile individuals, Caron's Ocean Drive program offers specialized treatment that balances recovery needs with limited work responsibilities, addressing a major barrier to seeking help.Ready to transform your workplace?

This guided meditation aims to create space for possibility amidst challenging life situations.While we all encounter challenging situations, I created this meditation for my 12,000 Google fomer colleagues who were laid off a few years ago and the countless others affected by layoffs in the tech sector since then.These layoffs serve as a wake-up call for all of us—a reminder of the significance of intentionality in life and building financial resilience to overcome difficult times.Overview of the PracticeWe begin by finding a comfortable and alert position and taking three deep breaths to focus on the sensation of our breath in our bodies.We practice mindfulness, observing our thoughts with kindness and curiosity.Next, we expand our perspective and recall a challenging situation we are facing—a layoff, a divorce, the loss of a family member or pet.With mindfulness, we observe this situation with a kind and curious awareness.Then, we shift our focus to exploring the possibility of even the smallest positive outcomes in this challenging situation.I sincerely hope this meditation proves helpful as you process your challenges and embrace the opportunities life presents to you.Wishing you all the best on your journey.AdamPS: Introducing the…

In this episode of French Insider, Agathe Benoit, Chief Operating Officer and founding team member of Giftory, joins Sheppard Mullin attorneys Karl Buhler and Inès Briand to discuss the company's business model and the challenges of launching the “experience gifting” concept in the United States.   What We Discussed in This Episode: What is Giftory, what are its core offerings, and where does it operate? What motivated the company to expand into the corporate gifting and B2B market? What challenges have been faced in bringing the experience gifting concept to the U.S.? Given the concept of experience gifting is relatively unfamiliar in the U.S., how did you initially connect with providers, engage customers, and assemble a team? Does Giftory offer the same experiences across all locations, or do offerings vary by city and state? What criteria does the company use when deciding to partner with a provider? How does Giftory ensure a premium experience for both the gift giver and the recipient? What are the advantages of purchasing through Giftory, rather than directly from the provider? What key achievements and challenges stand out in the process of building and expanding the business? What advice would you offer others looking to launch a business in the United States?   About Agathe Benoit Before co-founding Giftory, Agathe Benoit served as Head of Seller Operations at Back Market, the global leader in refurbished technology.

Angela talks to Stuart Sandeman about the profound impact of breath on our emotional and physical well-being. They explore how trauma and life experiences can manifest in our bodies, particularly through breathing patterns, and discuss the importance of breathwork in releasing stored tension and emotions. Stuart also shares his personal journey of grief following the loss of his girlfriend and how breathwork helped him process his emotions.

Short, shallow breathing often correlates with feelings of anxiety or fear, while deeper, more expansive breathing is associated with feelings of calm and joy. Breathing Archetypes: Individuals have different breathing patterns or archetypes that reflect their emotional and psychological states.  Impact of Trauma on Breath: Traumatic experiences can lead to physical tension and altered breathing patterns. This tension is often held in specific areas of the body Breathwork for Emotional Release: Engaging in breathwork can facilitate the release of stored emotions and trauma TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS [00:02:01] Breath and emotional release.

We love our cultura but don't want it to be reduced.In this week's episode of Corporate Cafecito, we have an honest conversation about what it really means to be Latino at work, especially when Hispanic Heritage Month rolls around.Too often, visibility becomes a burden.

In this compelling episode, Jeff Bloomfield sits down with tech executive, entrepreneur, and resilience coach Mohamed F. Ahmed. From the moment a curious mistake with a floppy disk nearly wrecked his dad's $10,000 PC—and unexpectedly ignited a lifelong passion for computers—to launching and selling a successful startup, Mo shares the deeper, human story behind innovation and leadership. You'll hear how emotional intelligence, mindset, and adaptability outweigh strategy in both startups and big corporations, and why conditioning your inner world may be the most important skill for the future of work and AI. This isn't your typical tech talk. Mo opens up about the moments that nearly broke him—and how emotional conditioning, not strategy, got him through. Whether you're launching a startup, innovating inside a big company, or just trying to stay sane in the chaos, this episode is a masterclass in mindset, resilience, and the real inner game of success. Entrepreneurship starts inside: Your mindset and emotional conditioning matter more than your business model. Corporate vs. startup = Pool vs. ocean: Corporate feels like a swim lane; startups are like the Atlantic Ocean at night—no map, no guardrails. Emotional regulation is a learned skill: Mo went from 4 weeks of emotional paralysis to 2 hours of recovery by learning to process feelings fast. Identity ≠ job title: Don't let your business define your worth. Purpose fuels resilience: Your “why” is your survival kit when things go wrong. AI is a collaborator, not a competitor: The winners will be those who use AI to think, plan, and act faster—not those who fear it. Use AI to reflect: Mo journals daily and uses Claude or ChatGPT to analyze his week and optimize decisions. Sales is psychology, not just pitching: Reframe rejection as feedback and stay emotionally neutral. Curiosity trumps control: Mo's career began when his dad turned a moment of anger into a shared learning journey. The next wave is “AI-native entrepreneurs”: Founders using AI as a creative partner are building faster, smarter companies. 00:00 – Intro and Seattle weather joke 02:45 – Jeff explains show format and target audience 05:00 – Corporate innovation vs. entrepreneurship 08:00 – Mo's origin story: From floppy disks to a PhD 13:00 – Lessons from Mo's dad: 10X thinking and 20,000 books 17:00 – First emotional crash in startup life 20:45 – Resilience in action: From panic to pitch in 2 hours 23:30 – The Entrepreneurial Conditioning Framework 26:00 – Identity, mindset, and daily mental practices 30:50 – Making time for thinking in the chaos of leadership 34:00 – Sales psychology and rejection reframing 35:15 – Startups vs. big corporations: Speed and chaos 41:00 – The future of AI: From compression to companion 46:00 – Mo's son + AI = 2-month project done in 1 week 49:00 – Will AI steal jobs or create new ones? 52:00 – Boundless Founder and The Inside Out Entrepreneur Boundless Founder Community: https://boundlessfounder.co Why You Should ListenTop 10 TakeawaysChapter MarkingsLinks MentionedBook – The Inside Out Entrepreneur: Available now on Amazon

From 2009-2015 Volkswagen cheated on emissions tests to convince customers to buy 11 million VW cars they thought burned clean diesel. Kimberley Kinsley says “Dieselgate” was the largest ever case of corporate greenwashing. Also: Big tech companies often boast they're using technologies that can save the planet. But Jesse Goldstein argues that the allure of AI–which requires energy hungry data centers–will lead to more and more excuses for why they have to keep fossil fuels flowing. Later in the show: The can-do innovation that emerged after World War II came to define American identity. In his new book, Every American an Innovator, Matthew Wisnioski traces how that culture of innovation we once celebrated is facing a backlash. Plus: For decades, children have traveled with a wacky teacher named Miss Frizzle, who drives the Magic School Bus. Michael Meindl explains how The Magic School Bus became one of the most successful informal science education initiatives ever.

We've known George for nearly a decade, and what stands out most is his ability to connect with people across industries, titles, and generations. This episode is packed with helpful tips on how he's learned to lead by listening, adapting, and meeting people where they are.Our longtime friend George McCaughan is joining us this week to talk about how to lead people across generations from union guys on the factory floor to young lawyers in a Florida firm. He's done it all, and he's still calling BS on outdated thinking (including from his own team).George shared what it was like growing up in Mississippi, chopping cotton and learning early that hard work isn't just a buzzword. He's been in the corporate trenches, led M&A deals in Europe, and now finds himself running a law firm not by plan, but by decision. Along the way, he's figured out how to build trust across age gaps and teach people how to think, not just check boxes.We also get into generational misunderstandings at work, what young professionals actually want, and why curiosity is the trait that separates solid hires from future headaches. Whether you're running a law firm or a machine shop, this one is sure to be helpful. HighlightsWhy Gen Z might remind you more of Boomers than you'd think.What George teaches lawyers about real client communication.The difference between curiosity and compliance.Why handing someone the answer doesn't actually help them.Corporate moments when biting your tongue would've been smart (but didn't happen).Teaching situational awareness without micromanagingDo you like what you heard?

One side, the seasoned professionals, Revant Bhate (Co-Founder & CEO at Mosaic Wellness) and Kaushik Mukherjee (Co-founder & COO at SUGAR Cosmetics), question if the regular hustle is being mistaken for crisis.While the Gen Z voices Vidit Dugar (Chief of Staff at Bombay Shaving Company) and Gauri Bansal (Strategy Manager, South Asia, Middle East, and Africa at Spotify) talk about the demand of a workplace built on empathy, trust, and emotional safety.Together, they dive into:Do Gen Z employees expect too much emotional support at work?How much responsibility should founders bear to safeguard mental well-being?Do Western Startups “Do It Better”?And most critically: How real is stress today?Both generations agree on one thing: behind every “tough boss” is a founder terrified of losing their team.Watch now to hear both sides unpack what's valid, what's exaggerated, and how workplaces need to adapt.Tell us in the comments: Does your workplace really see you, beyond deadlines and deliverables?

In this powerful episode, author, activist, and festival curator Sharif D. Rangnekar joins Mohua Chinappa for a deeply personal and political conversation on queer rights in India. They discuss the slow implementation of the NALSA verdict, the stigma behind the blood donation ban, and the challenges queer communities face in accessing public spaces. Sharif reflects on his own journey of surviving sexual assault, the importance of creating inclusive literary platforms like the Rainbow Lit Fest, and the dangers of cancel culture. With references to activists like Santa Khurai, Harish Iyer, and artist Lady Gaga, this episode blends courage, critique, and hope.Key Takeaways:Caste remains a significant issue within LGBTQIA+ spaces in India.Safety and the right to live freely are central to queer rights.Equity is a more nuanced goal than mere equality.Bisexuality faces misunderstanding and invisibility in queer politics.The ban on LGBTQ+ blood donation is rooted in stigma, not scienceTransgender rights are progressing slowly, with many challenges ahead.Corporate allyship often lacks genuine commitment beyond Pride Month.Cancel culture can hinder constructive dialogue within queer communities.Legal barriers still exist for blood donation by LGBTQ+ individuals.Creating inclusive literary spaces is essential for diverse voices.Survivors of sexual assault, especially queer men, face unique challenges in speaking out.True inclusion requires a 360° approach, involving politics, law, corporates, and community engagement beyond symbolic gestures.Representation in media and literature is growing, with queer narratives now visible in poetry, films, fashion, and public spaces.Queer joy, community, and cultural expression are vital, offering safe spaces and solidarity in an often hostile environment.Connect with UsMohua Chinappa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohua-chinappa/The Mohua Show: https://www.themohuashow.com/Connect with Sharif D RangnekarSharif D Rangnekar: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharif-d-rangnekar-3867208/Follow UsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheMohuaShowLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/themohuashow/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themohuashowInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/themohuashow/For any other queries EMAILhello@themohuashow.comChapters:00:00 Introduction  01:05 Caste, Queerness, and Inclusion06:47 Marriage Equality vs. Safety12:11 Equality vs. Equity in Queer Rights17:30 Understanding Bisexuality in Queer Politics25:50 Trans Rights and Slow Legal Progress31:13 Corporate Engagement with LGBTQ+ Rights35:19 The Complexities of Cancel Culture39:22 Challenging Stigmas in Blood Donation Laws45:06 Creating Inclusive Literary Spaces52:25 Courage in Sharing Personal Trauma58:02 Imagining a Joyful Future for Queer CommunitiesDisclaimerThe views expressed by our guests are their own.

We're talking about the companies who were all rainbow logos last year but mysteriously went silent this Pride month.We chat about the statistic that 39% of Fortune 500 companies pulled back their Pride support this year, why Trump's election has made everyone scared of being "too woke," and how Pride feels more like the protest it started as rather than the party it became.Joel opens up about going back to therapy because of Keegan's heart condition, while Keegan gets passionate about why some gay people are distancing themselves from trans issues when we should be standing together.We also give massive props to the brands that actually showed up, from Boots smashing it to train companies wrapping entire trains in rainbow colours, and an exciting announcement about Leeds Pride!

1924年12月23日，一群商人在日内瓦碰头开会。这次会议改变了未来数十年内的电灯泡行业格局，因为他们组织起了历史上首个真正具有全球影响力的行业卡特尔，“太阳神垄断联盟”。关于这个联盟，如今被最广泛讨论的一点是：他们通过精心设计寿命相对较短的白炽灯泡，跑通了“计划性报废”的商业策略。这“启发”了很多后代企业，并逐渐演变成消费主义的一部分。相比之下，“太阳神垄断联盟”的其他工作、以及它所代表的卡特尔垄断模式，相关的讨论则太少。本期节目，我们希望从这个案例入手，正面地了解和辨析关于垄断体系运作中，常见的一些直觉性结论。| 主播 |肖文杰、约小亚| 时间轴 |02:50 电灯泡，一个充满卡特尔的市场09:28 超级卡特尔，Phoebus诞生12:01 Phoebus如何切分全球灯泡市场19:28 垄断一定会导致高价格吗？23:19 1000小时寿命目标，高难度倒车30:31 灯泡寿命是消费者最关注的指标吗？36:42 Phoebus的崩溃与遗产| 延伸资料 |Vol.102 欧佩克的成功，“锂佩克”很难复制Vol.204 小历史 | 1933，一家公司与纳粹签订契约BBC-Incandescent: The Phoebus CartelPlanet Money-Episode 902: The Phoebus Cartel《The Light Bulb Conspiracy》IEEE Spectrum-The Great Lightbulb ConspiracyPhoebus Cartel的组织架构图Stocking, George Ward, and Myron Webster Watkins.
