CHM: A Health Insurance Alternative For Open Enrollment With Lauren GajdekChoosing a health insurance plan is probably right up there with paying taxes as an unwelcome annual task. Wouldn't it be great if you never had to do it again? Lauren Gajdek is with us to tell you how today.Lauren Gajdek, Vice President of Communications and Media at Christian Healthcare Ministries, an underwriter of this program.Discussion on Health Cost Sharing:Lauren Gajdek explains that Christian Healthcare Ministries (CHM) is an option that allows enrollment anytime during the year, offering a biblical approach to health care with financial support from Christians nationwide.CHM provides a no-waiting-period membership with no need for pre-authorization from healthcare providers, though some limitations exist for pre-existing conditions.How Health Cost Sharing Works:Gajdek clarifies that CHM is not an insurance company but an alternative. Members control their medical bills, receive discounts, and CHM issues checks to members for paying their healthcare providers.Comparison with Traditional Health Insurance:Analysis of various gold insurance plans shows CHM's monthly costs are about 50% less for individuals and 25% less for families, with even more significant savings annually.CHM members have the freedom to choose their healthcare providers as long as the treatment aligns with CHM guidelines.Further Information and Biblical Foundation:CHM's foundation is based on the biblical verse Galatians 6:2, focusing on carrying each other's burdens as a form of fulfilling Christ's law.Learn more at CHMinistries.org.On today's program, Rob also answers listener questions:I am above 59 and a half, and my wife and I are considering using an investor to manage our IRAs and 401(k)s, possibly converting them into an annuity. Is this a wise decision?At 55 and recently employed full-time with a 401k option, should I invest all in a Roth for the remainder of my working years rather than a tax-deferred account?I have concerns about my bank due to their recent actions and low interest on savings. Should I move my money and look for other credit card options with better rewards?RESOURCES MENTIONED:Christian Community Credit UnionInspire InsightNerdWalletBankrate.comCreditCards.comRemember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Writers sometimes forget that those who don't practice the craft daily find it exceptionally difficult to communicate in the written word, but if you are listening to this podcast episode, you already understand how to communicate in the written word. Chances are, you know how to hit writing deadlines. You know how to research articles and how to publish them. So, rather than just doing it for someone else and letting them reap all of the rewards, and you get paid 5 cents or 10 cents per word, why not build something for yourself that can become much more valuable? These days, here's what my writing day looks like. I usually get up and write an article for one of my content sites about a topic I'm interested in. When I've written the article, I'll either edit it myself using some software like Grammarly or I'll give it over to another editor on the team who will fix any mistakes for me, then I'll publish it on the site. So I still feel like I'm writing regularly. Then, I'll typically spend the afternoon assigning articles or researching articles that I want to brief to the freelance writers for the sites I run. This way, I can scale up content production for the site, but I can also continue to learn more about the topics in question because I'm researching them. The benefit to doing all this is that writing for myself and a site that I own is ultimately more valuable and more profitable than writing for a client or somebody else's site. Freelance writing is fantastic because it can get you experience and your name out there, but when you build something you own, you can earn more and still accomplish your creative goals.In this episode, we discuss: Freelance writing vs. creating your own content websiteWhat precisely a niche content website isHow to build and develop content websitesBuying and selling content websites for profitResources: Become a Writer Today Source Links for Further Information:https://becomeawritertoday.com/become-a-freelance-writterhttps://podcast.becomeawritertoday.com/1055644/8554444-turn-your-hobby-into-a-saleable-niche-website-with-mushfiqhttps://podcast.becomeawritertoday.com/1055644/3579640-how-to-build-a-niche-website-that-earns-six-figures-a-year-with-jon-dykstraJohn Dykstra's Blog fatstacksblog.comWebsite Flipping thewebsiteflip.comSupport the show

In this 5 minute conversation which is part of our ongoing discussion of the Chinese Cyber Security Regime, Dr Michael D Frick I discuss China's attitude towards intellectual property. We discuss that lax IP protection in China is not only a concern for Western companies, that Chinese companies are registering huge amounts of patents, and that while IP protection has found its way into Chinese regulations, enforcement is still very lax. Michale also raises the point that around 80% of blockchain related patents are Chinese (quality notwithstanding) and that within this category many are related to cybersecurity. Ultimately Michael advises that, at least for now, a business model based heavily on IP protection is possibly not the right one for the Chinese market, as opposed to one, say, based on continuous innovation or other forms of differentiation... Michael D Frick holds a doctorate in Business Economics and a master's in Modern Sinology. He works as consultant advising businesses on Chinese regulatory aspects.

In this podcast episode Dr Michael Frick, author of “Chinese Industry 4.0 Designing high-tech solutions under the cybersecurity regime of the People's Republic of China” and I talk about Online Content Management - censorship - which is the bedrock of the Chinese Cybersecurity Regime. We discuss the Chinese approach to censorship and how it differs from the Western stance on what and how information can be presented and shared online, and why this different approach makes sense from Chinese perspective. We discuss what it means for organisations who want to do business in China, how censorship in China is governed, and the mechanisms through which it is enacted and enforced and what it means when you ‘mess up'. We talk about the fact that only 2% of Chinese internet users use censorship evasion tools and the Chinese netizens' stance to censorship. We conclude by explaining that for the Chinese government all it comes down to is: first preserving and expanding power, second economic development. Also that for organisations who want to operate China there is no half way house, but only the decision between whether to not enter the market at all or fully comply: every organisation will have to make this decision in light of their mission and values. _ Background info The 3 T's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre https://www.amnesty.org.uk/china-1989-tiananmen-square-protests-demonstration-massacre https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeFzeNAHEhU https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan#Political_and_legal_status https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_independence_movement Eye roll incident https://makeagif.com/i/uDC3dz https://www.ifj.org/es/centro-de-medios/noticias/detalle/category/press-releases/article/china-two-journalists-lose-peoples-congress-accreditation-over-eye-roll.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBbv1E2wTt8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUKbt2wKfK8 _ Michael D Frick holds a doctorate in Business Economics and a master's in Modern Sinology.

In this 5 minute piece Dr Michael D Frick, author of “Chinese Industry 4.0 Designing high-tech solutions under the cybersecurity regime of the People's Republic of China” and I talk about China's difficult relationship with Github: on one hand, the intrinsic nature of open source code shared via Github - let alone the fact that Ghithub allows all sorts of other information to be shared - can easily undermine the Online Content Management (read ‘censorship') policies which are part of China's Cybersecurity regime, while on the other hand, access to standard libraries and the ability to collaborate on software projects is a key enabler - arguably a necessity - for most software development.

In this episode software craftsman Luke Elliott and I discuss what makes great software engineering, excellent software engineers and effective teams… We argue that understanding and delivering value is really all good software engineering is about. And that engineers understanding the customer is possibly the biggest difference between organisations who deliver value and those whose don't; and that this is best achieved by combining people who deeply understand the customers like product owners with engineers who deeply care (about value and consequently the customer). We discuss what makes high performing teams, and touch on the challenge of hiring great engineers. We make a detour chatting about the importance of TDD and Pair Programming and whether they are a cult, and why some love and some hate these practices, but why, ultimately XP practices like these ultimately the ability to deliver value at pace, reliably and sustainably. We briefly rant about TLAs and why one should always clarify acronyms (or rather not have them in the first place) and what it means, if a team doesn't feel sufficiently safe to ask questions (and what one can do to build the needed psychological safety). We close by discussing that the art of architecture is knowing what to do now and what to defer, why David Knuth is right in saying that ‘premature performance optimisation is the root of all evil' and what this means for startup who are in bootstrapping mode and must avoid overly early gold-plating and over-engineering while not impeding future scaling. … Luke is a software craftsman with deep experience in lean and agile software development. He believes that great software is crafted by great teams, and that building great teams is challenging and rewarding work. He has lead successful teams across public and private sector, bluechips and startups, in diverse industries including finance, healthcare and energy. He is a keen proponent of lean and agile approaches, XP and believes in CI/CD, fast feedback loops, outcome over output, and product thinking. He avoids big design up front, command-and-control management, and blame cultures. He is currently Director of Engineering at OakNorth Bank. Luke is currently hiring software engineers of all stripes and if you are interested in working like Luke describes, contact him at luke.elliott@oaknorth.co.uk.

In this episode I chat with AlmostAnyHow's Nathan Ardaiz about nurturing micro-moments to improve human interactions and consequently we live and work together. Specifically how micro-moments in our relationships determine the quality of our interactions and how this affects wellbeing, autonomy and resilience of individuals and ultimately teams and organisations. We start a bit ‘dark' by talking about death - and dying well - and what trauma means for the personas we adopt as we go through our daily lives… We discuss anger, anxiety and shame when interacting with colleagues, what it means to truly listen and to understand that it's really ‘about us' not ‘them'. We draw parallels to code- and relationship-debt and how short feedback loops not only make successful products and services but are the basis for good interactions, concluding that “Cultures and teams that reflect and learn - those more trusting, connected, happier, adaptive, understanding and collectively owned - innovate and perform better.” We discuss why nurturing micro-moments can only be grounded in shared values and a collective vision and what individuals, teams and organisations can do to improve their interactions.

In this episode I chat with Tom Grogan, CEO of Mishcon de Reya's MdRxTech, a software consultancy and incubator with a legal edge. We discuss why building legal compliance into the product development lifecycle is ever more important in a Web3.0 world and how this can be achieved within lean and agile design and delivery approaches. We will touch on Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain and Smartcontracts and why including legal considerations early and throughout for products or services built on top of such solutions is imperative. We chat about the shift from consumption to creation to ownership that led to Web3.0, and how true realisation of the potential of the ‘Metaverse' - and maybe more drastically quantum technology once it arrives - will change our understanding of ‘property' and ‘ownership' and might ultimately redefine the world. Tom is Chief Executive Officer of MDRxTech. He is a qualified lawyer and has a deep understanding of a wide range of emerging technologies including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and blockchain (and other DLTs). He has experience advising public and private sector clients on the design, development and delivery of their technology strategies and solutions.

WISCONSIN MUSIC PODCAST Episode 067 Thoughts For Food https://www.thoughtsforfood.org/ In the late fall of 1992, Mark Paffrath (then Executive Director of Racine County Project Emergency), Steve Klinkhammer, Bill May, and Ron Schultz (Vets 21 of Racine), and Dave Popoff (George's Tavern) developed Thoughts For Food™ as a benefit to support Project Emergency.  Racine County Project Emergency, now the Racine County Food Bank, is a non-profit, United Way supported organization that supplies food to residents in need in Racine County.  Vets 21 of Racine had previously sponsored several food and fund raising benefits for the Racine County Food Bank and wanted to continue its efforts while allowing for greater input and support from the community.  What developed was the concept of local musicians donating their "thoughts for food."  This would give Racine area musicians an opportunity to showcase their talents and the community a chance to respond with food and cash donations for the Food Bank. Thoughts For Food™ 1, held on February 27, 1993, featured twelve acts on one stage.  The event was held at George's and the tavern was filled beyond capacity before the first act had finished.  Admission to Thoughts For Food™ 1 was $3 and a non-perishable food item.  The event raised $1,200 and 435 pounds of food. Since then, the annual event has grown in size as has the amount of food and funds contributed. This year's event will feature venues in the "River North" and Downtown areas of Racine.  ​   The success of Thoughts For Food™ has always depended on the support of its volunteers. Over the past 24 years, hundreds of dedicated people and families from VVA 767, the Racine County Food Bank, and the general Racine community helped by staffing the event, distributing and collecting food contribution boxes during the month of February, photographing the event and doing the myriad other tasks that make the event successful. In addition, several hundred band members, sound and lighting techs, and other contributors to the event gave unselfishly of their time and talent.  ​ Over its 29 years, Thoughts For Food™ has raised over $525,000 and more than 120,000 pounds of food for the Racine County Food Bank! It is truly a peaceful demonstration of caring and concern by Racine area residents!   ​ Mission Thoughts For Food™ benefits . . . THE RACINE COUNTY FOOD BANK ​ THE PURPOSE OF THIS ORGANIZATION To efficiently and effectively obtain resources and facilitate the distribution of food, and other necessities through a network of direct service providers to individuals and families of Racine County who are in need.  In doing so, we will equalize the distribution of resources throughout the community and advocate on behalf of the community to reduce hunger. ​ OVERVIEW For over 35 years the Racine County Food Bank has operated an efficient and successful food program. Funding and support of it's operation has come from all areas of the community as well as from the FEMA, which is managed by RCFB.  Because of community involvement and a great staff, Racine County Food Bank is able to help supply the emergency food network in Racine County. ​ FURTHER INFORMATION      For further information on Racine County Food Bank visit the web site at: ​ www.racinecountyfoodbank.org or contact: Racine County Food Bank 2000 DeKoven Avenue, Racine, WI 53403-2481 (262) 632-2307 fax (262) 632-2643 2021 Thoughts for Food TM

We strongly believe that organisations with a successful future are those that embrace remote working practices. Not only does this address some of the challenges posed by the current Covid-19 crisis, but overall, allows organisations tap into a wider talent pool, work with a wider client base and most importantly make for better work life balance. In this episode we discuss remote interviewing with 5 super interesting guests…. We have recently co-written a blog-post on remote interviewing and my business partners at Equal Experts have extensively discussed remote working practices in their free remote working playbook. But writing about it, is one thing, hearing it from the horse's mouth is different altogether. In this Burn Up Episode, we chat with 5 guests, all with extensive experience in remote interviewing. We talk about whether remote interviewing works, whether it's a stop-gap measure or there to stay, and how to be successful at it, as interviewer and candidate alike. Our Guests We've got an excellent cast of guests on this episode. Please feel free to get in touch with any of them if you are looking for an engagement, want to know more about remote working, work with an organisation that is interested in improving their remote working practices or simply want to say hello… In this episode you'll meet; Becky Smith (https://www.linkedin.com/in/beckysmith2/) recruiter and people manager, and Neha Datt who works as product consultant, has co-written the remote working playbook (https://remote-working.playbook.ee/) and runs a webinar on remote working best practices. She can best be reached via her company Mercurial Phoenix (https://mercp.com/) or via twitter @oliphantism. You will also hear from Nuno Sillva Peirera (https://www.linkedin.com/in/nunosilvapereira/) who works as a Delivery Lead in Portugal and with whom we have remote interviewed many times. Nuno blogs, tweets @nunoaspereira, xxx and has recently released a Metal Album (https://open.spotify.com/artist/5VmHEyh21vclFmhysESorO?si=QXEkfIfARWW34_sObmMVwg) which we highly recommend you check out. Nuno also has a most excellent youtube video on remote working (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Q5PpYdpxzc). We also speak with Werner Smit (https://www.linkedin.com/in/werner-smit-16203533/) who is a Delivery Lead in South Africa and has extensive experience working across country boundaries, Rajesh Kumar Thiagaran (https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajeshthiagarajan/) who is a Product Consultant in Pune, India, with experience in the recruitment industry and with whom we have recently run a major multi-day remote training session across London, Bangalore and Pune. And of course, there is also Dave Hewett (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dave-hewett-b97609/) whom you'll have met in Episode 8. Dave has a keen interest in team working practices (remote or other) and has been instrumental in making the remote (and other) playbooks happen.  If you want to work with Equal Experts you can get in touch with them via their website (https://www.equalexperts.com/join-us/) or any of us via linkedin or any other channel.

Sean has developed several award-winning audio products in his career working for several professional audio companies - the most notable being legendary British mixing console manufacturer Soundcraft where Sean met fellow Cranborne Audio founding members Edward Holmes, Elliott Thomas, and Andrew Pat. Sean, Ed, Elliott, and Andy founded Cranborne Audio as an antidote to various trends they observed in the Professional Audio industry that they felt negatively affected product quality and innovation. Vowing to do things the "right way" and never allowing "good enough" to be good enough - Cranborne Audio released their first product in October 2018 - their Camden 500 preamp and saturation module - to critical acclaim. Cranborne Audio has since released a handful more products - all very innovative and unique with high-performance analogue and digital designs, whilst offering outstanding value and quality including their latest product - Camden EC2.Hugh Robjohns BiogHugh Robjohns has been Sound On Sound´s Technical Editor since 1997. Prior to that he worked in a variety of (mostly) sound-related roles in BBC Television, ending up as a Sound Operations Lecturer at the BBC´s technical training centre. He continues to provide audio consultancy and bespoke broadcast audio training services all over the world, lectures at professional and public conventions, and occasionally records and masters acoustic and classical music too! 

In this episode Swathi Poddar - who you'll know from last season — and I catch up on Lean Inceptions. As you know we have written the Inception Playbook which is a quite chunky piece, providing in-depth guidance on how to kick off projects well and set initiatives up for success. While this is still very helpful, we found that the more experienced teams are looking for something a bit more light-weight, to incept not major initiatives, but smaller projects, feature delivery or additional workstreams. In fact, these days we are running more and more super short, highly focused Inceptions that may be as short as 2–3 days, or only 3–4 hours, even… In this episode we discuss when such Lean Inceptions are valuable and feasible and talk through the mechanics of running them.

TheThe Core Tools Playbook is a collection of the tools a team can use during kick-off of an initiative or at any point initiative delivery. In fact, some tools are so versatile they can be used outside of initiative or even IT context. This playbook introduces 18 tools, explains their benefit and when to use them, and provides step by step instructions on how to use them as well as supporting templates and examples. The Core Tools Playbook covers tools such as Affinity Mapping, Story mapping, Context Modelling, Wardley Maps, and many others… The Core Tools Inception Playbook (free download): https://burnupmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/InceptionPlaybook-InteractivePages-v2.1.pdf – More information at https://www.theburnup.com This podcast produced by Burn Up Media Ltd under under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.

Dependency management, despite its importance, does not get the attention it deserves and is often a bit haphazard and less structured than it could be. In this playbook, we suggest a lightweight way to identify and manage dependencies. We explain why to do it, how to do it, what good looks like, and the most important dos and don'ts.

In this episode Swathi Poddar and I are talking about a thing we used to fight about: Should we or Shouldn't we allow frontend and backend specific user stories? Surely, stories should describe features, something that delivers value? But what, if there was a public API? And if it turns out that API also fed a GUI frontend? And what if your team simply demanded it as it made their lives easier?

In this episode Swathi Poddar and I are talking about a topic very close to our heart: how do we best assign work to our teams? Do we have clear ownership of features or services, and if so, what do we do with the ‘shared' service we'll invariably encounter? Are such services commonly owned, can anyone mess with them, or are we keeping them under tight guard, and we ask: ‘Who owns the frontend?' Expect an interesting, possibly controversial discussion...

In our continued exploration into Team Roles, in this episode we talk to Erica Kucharczyk about the role of User Research. This is a role that is frequently overlooked, but can pay off huge dividends in the long run if quality research is incorporated into your development cycle. We discuss how research helps teams validate their value proposition, the value of user research, the process of designing, running and analyzing tests, Qualitative vs Quantitative, how to get into user research and what good looks like. So, get out there and do some research! We start by talking about how User Research validates value propositions; needs, gains and pains. Next, we talk about how the User Research role differs from, and overlaps with, the Design and UX roles. We discuss why you should pay for User Research and what good looks like when user research is incorporated fully into the development cycle. We briefly touch on some tools for remote testing and talk about different testing environments, such as a more formal lab setting vs. more natural settings. We talk about the importance of researcher demeanor and attitude, especially the mindset of not leading the user and not helping the user too much. We touch on low-fi testing methods for low budget situations or to simply get started doing user research with your team. We revisit the Qualitative vs Quantitative discussion and talk about how they compliment each other and how different insights can be gained by both approaches. We go through the process of designing tests, running the tests, analysing the results and playing back the findings. We talk about recording users and privacy concerns, including GDPR. Erica talks about her interest in this area and the article she co-wrote on this subject (see link in the show notes below). We discuss how people can get into research and what good looks like. Good researchers must be good communicators, they should like people, be persuasive, and be able to think on their feet. Finally, we talk about how to get started with research on your project and to ensure you don't forget about the User Research role when planning teams. Erica Kucharczyk has been working as a researcher for about 12 years and started off in academia running research on projects in sleep technology and brain training games for older people with dementia. More recently she's been working as a user experience researcher with Government clients and she's interested in research ethics and research operations.

Most software delivery use a story backlog to manage delivery: effectively a list of things to delivery. But often the backlog is at best a mess, at worst confusing and misleading. A good backlog provides structure and facilitates delivery, a bad one adds confusion and inefficiencies. Here is our 5 minute fix to help you optimise your backlog.

For this episode we have invited our colleague Dave Hewett to discuss all things Engagement Management, Client Service and Account Handling. We will touch on what good ‘client servicing' means and where the balance lies between saying ‘yes' and saying ‘no'. Ultimately engagement management is all about ensuring delivery in a way that both the client and the delivery team are happy. Remember, only happy teams deliver good outcomes. Client services is a role of many ‘hats' and switching context is possibly the most important skill in this role, be this to dive into granular detail within a domain or to switch domain completely across different clients. Dave also explains that a thick skin certainly helps with the role, where you often end up as the go-to for everyone from the client to your team offloading stress, anger, frustrations and worries. That said, it is also important for an engagement manager to detect what is important and what isn't: things you can let go and ignore as ‘noise' and those things that really need attention.

For this episode we have invited our colleagues Isabell Britsch and Tarik Johnston to discuss all things Digital Design with us. We will touch on the importance of placing the user at the centre of things and in this context will explain the differences between service design (the overall end to end including the organisational view), user experience design (how user interact at the various touchpoints), user interface design (the design of an interface provided at a specific touchpoint). We chat about the difference between experience design (how things work) and visual design (how things look). And also why both are important in the design of products and services satisfy user needs and business goals. More so, user experience design is a vital factor in requirements analysis and iterative, collaborative solution design. In this context we will specifically argue that all software applications, even the most internal operational system, will benefit from, in fact require, user experience and visual design. As usual, in our episodes on roles we will touch on ‘what makes a good practitioner' in these disciplines, how their day to day work looks like, and how one can get into these roles… Maybe the most important takeaway is that all software teams must adjust their thinking and start including user experience and visual design into their solution design and implementation process. Isabell Britsch is a London based Design Consultant and Art Director and has a 20 year work portfolio with clients across a wide range of industries and projects in digital, print and TV. When she does not design, she teaches Yoga and Meditation. Tarik Johnston is a London based User Experience Designer with a 15 year work portfolio in designing user-centered digital applications in the public and private sector across ecommerce, banking, government, travel and property.

In this Episode we have invited our colleague Swathi Poddar to discuss why the Business Analyst and Product Owner are such important roles for every successful delivery team. Successful projects are based on a clear understanding of the domain, specifically goals and needs, and how to best satisfy these with a solution within the given constraints (time, money, regulatory, etc). With the Product Owner hat on, we take care of the up-front bit, i.e. the focusing on strategic fit, while with the business analyst hat on, we focus more on the nitty gritty details of the solutions. But really, both roles are just a different focus the same spectrum. In practice they can be taken on by the same or different individuals. Ultimately both roles are about ‘making sense' of a problem domain, enabling teams to articulate complexity, explore items under discussion and converge towards a clear and valuable outcome. As with most roles in the ‘21st century', knowledge of tools and techniques (how to do things) are being downgraded to hygiene factors, while approach and mindset (how to go about things, specifically communication and collaboration) become factors of excellence. Consequently the business analyst and product owner are key roles for any well run project. Swathi Poddar is a Business Analyst, Product Owner and Software Consultant. She has worked and studied in the UK, US and currently works out of Pune and Banglore, India.
