From STEM trailblazer to AI visionary, Dr. Tamara Nall shares her extraordinary journey of perseverance, innovation, and purpose-driven leadership, showing women what it truly means to build with legacy in mind.Growing up in Alabama and Georgia, Dr. Nall's parents instilled a belief that education is the one thing no one can take away. When an Emory University counselor told her that STEM “wasn't for women like her,” she didn't retreat, she rose higher, applying that very night to a dual-degree program with Georgia Tech. She went on to become the first business student to graduate from that demanding program, blending business acumen with computer science — a foundation that would power her future as a global entrepreneur and change-maker.That same determination has guided every step of her journey. From Harvard Business School to earning a doctorate in engineering and leading The Leading Niche, her award-winning systems integration firm serving agencies like the CDC, NIH, and VA. When told she'd lost a government contract for not having a PhD, Dr. Nall didn't internalize rejection; she transformed it into action, completing her doctorate during the pandemic while running her company full-time. Her story is one of relentless learning, courage, and redefining what's possible for women in technology and business.In our conversation, Dr. Nall opens up about scaling sustainably, leading with empathy, and why women-owned businesses must focus not only on passion but profitability. She shares insights on strategic networking, purpose-driven culture, and her bold ventures in AI, from her platform Reli AI to Human AI Nation, where she's exploring the evolving relationship between humans and technology. Through it all, her message is clear: innovation begins when you dare to claim the space others say you don't belong in.This episode is a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and responsible leadership. Tune in to hear Dr. Tamara Nall's remarkable story and be inspired to build your own legacy of impact and innovation.Chapters 

Episode 110 features Isaac Kardon, Senior Fellow for China Studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and author of "China's Law of the Sea: The New Rules of Maritime Order." Kardon joins hosts Ray Powell and Jim Carouso to discuss how China uses domestic law, coast guard operations, and strategic ambiguity to reshape international maritime norms - especially in the South and East China Seas and the Yellow Sea.China's Approach to Maritime Law: Kardon explains that China's participation in international treaties, such as UNCLOS, differs fundamentally from rule-of-law societies like the U.S. Rather than constraining itself, China uses treaties as instruments for political and strategic advantage, showing significant flexibility in interpretation and enforcement.Global Impact of Indo-Pacific Maritime Order: The Indo-Pacific isn't just a regional issue - what happens there affects global trade, technology supply chains, and the daily lives of people worldwide. The COVID pandemic and events like the Ever Given incident in the Suez Canal reveal the fragility of maritime order, making disruptions to the global order dangerous for prosperity and peace.Frictions in the South China Sea: China's ratification of UNCLOS presented challenges, notably the framework that limits China's ability to claim “historic” zones like the “nine-dash line.” Despite arbitration rulings against Chinese claims, China responds in ways that undermine the effectiveness of international mechanisms, often using ambiguous claims and building capacity to assert control regardless of legal setbacks.Law, Power, and Regional Responses: The episode highlights the contrast between the legalistic approaches of “cricket-playing nations” and China's more instrumental use of law. Small states in the region rely on legal frameworks for protection, but China's power allows it to bend or contest those rules.Recent Developments: China has expanded its exclusion zone around Scarborough Shoal and used environmental pretext to assert control, demonstrating a pattern of using lawfare as a tool for broader strategic objectives.Future Directions: The discussion covers the gridlock over the ASEAN-China Code of Conduct process, the decline of sentimentality about U.S. leadership in maritime law, and the general skepticism about international law's ability to constrain powerful states. The hosts discuss the potential for the Indo-Pacific maritime disputes to become the setting for geopolitical drama, involving all facets from local fishermen and coast guards to great power competition.Kardon argues that China's lawfare bolsters its capabilities: strength and presence on the water matter just as much, if not more, than legal arguments. He describes the situation as “possession is nine-tenths of the law”—a reality that smaller states cannot match with mere legal claims.Policy Takeaways: International law matters less when powerful states refuse to be constrained. China's approach threatens regional cooperation and legal consistency.The episode calls for listeners to recognize how Indo-Pacific maritime order shapes global stability, trade, and strategic realities - and provides both practical insights and a thought-provoking narrative, encouraging listeners to see Indo-Pacific maritime disputes not just as legal questions but as complex dramas involving power, law, and the future of global cooperation.

Most people romanticize mastery.They talk about "grit" and "passion" and "work ethic," but avoid the uncomfortable truth:Mastery is build by failing-- over and over again. In public, in private, both big and small failures. Failure is followed by recovery and reflection and leveling up.In this recording, you can hear me teaching this idea to my students in the Global Impact Council, which is our internal teen mentoring program. Enjoy the call!-----To register for the Ivy League Challenge, visit our websiteTo follow on Instagram:  @TheIvyLeagueChallengeTo join us on our Facebook group for parents

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In the past few days Shakira's global stardom has blazed even brighter blending philanthropy art pop sensation and historical homecomings. According to AllHipHop and as widely covered in international news Shakira just joined superstar The Weeknd on the newly launched FIFA Global Citizen Education Board aimed at steering a 100 million dollar campaign to help children access education worldwide—a mission that is as ambitious as her artistic career. This huge initiative announced by FIFA and Global Citizen includes other luminaries like Serena Williams and Ivanka Trump and will leverage their combined platforms to reach 100000 kids in over 200 communities. With more than 350 million children currently out of school Shakira's involvement is being spotlighted as both strategic and deeply personal underscoring her ongoing dedication to social issues which look likely to define her legacy as much as her music.But it's not just in boardrooms and philanthropy where Shakira is making noise. The singer just performed two sold-out concerts in Cali Colombia over the past weekend creating what Spreaker described as a triumphant homecoming moment cheered on by fans and media alike. These concert dates come as part of Shakira's monumental Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour which began earlier this year in Brazil and is already setting records for attendance and gross receipts. Billions in production dollars are reportedly behind this globe-spanning tour which sees Shakira herself calling it the most ambitious of her career with bigger venues added across the Americas to meet overwhelming demand. Adjustments remain par for the course—recent cancellations included Miami and Inglewood due to local protests and San Antonio owing to venue issues—but each time she emerges back on stage to sold-out crowds and standing ovations. Her shows have featured surprise duets with Latin stars like Maluma Ozuna and Alejandro Sanz and this October she drew viral attention on Instagram sharing behind-the-scenes footage from her tour rehearsals clearly signaling her direct involvement in every stage detail.There is more on the horizon—NosEnchanteurs confirms Shakira's November will include three headline concerts in Ecuador lighting up a new swath of South American audiences. Social media has been ablaze with anticipation for these dates especially given her historic return to Colombia and the critical acclaim surrounding her 2024 album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran. Pop culture coverage continues to be dominated by Shakira's life on and off stage with her activism concert spectacles and infectious social posts keeping her trending worldwide. Her appearance in FIFA's headline-grabbing campaign and her relentless tour momentum are not just newsworthy events but milestones certain to endure in the story of one of music's most influential icons.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

"Rajiv's books have been an important part of awareness building. And now we often get people who are activated, who have read Rajiv's books- say, Invading the Sacred or The Battle for Sanskrit or Indra's Net. Now, all of a sudden, they've been awakened to all of these different ecosystems and ideologies that have kept our civilization from tapping into our history, into our identity, in the way that we talk about ourselves and who we are has been constricted by a Western or Abrahamic framework. In some sense, it kind of becomes the entry point for anyone who's read any of Rajiv's books to want to become an activist, which, of course, is great for the Hindu American Foundation."- Suhag A.

Send us a textBrand authority doesn't start with a logo—it begins with a decision about how you want to show up. We sit down with Ann Marie Sorrell, president and CEO of the Mosaic Group, to unpack the strategy, grit, and heart behind a 20‑year journey from West Palm Beach to a growing Caribbean footprint. Ann Marie breaks down positioning that goes beyond aesthetics, showing how message, culture, and behavior align to create trust. Then she gets practical about content: why story matters, how to tailor for each platform, and what it takes to move people from scrolling to action.The conversation turns personal and powerful as Ann Marie recounts surviving the recession, canceled contracts, and foreclosure by clinging to a single Plan A and a daily bias for execution. That resilience paved the way for a bold move during the pandemic—scaling a regional forum into the National Black Economic Conference with global voices and tangible resources for Black entrepreneurs. We talk about designing events around outcomes, not optics, and building communities that leave with pathways, not platitudes.Ann Marie also opens the door to a complex, high‑growth space: cannabis. When rooms stayed closed, she built a new table through Cannabisiac to advance equity, access, and education in a highly regulated industry. We explore how to turn advocacy into credibility, translate policy into opportunity, and help underrepresented founders participate across the value chain. Finally, she unveils Mosaic Global Group, a unified structure that ties marketing, tech, coworking, philanthropy, and M&A into one platform built for scale and impact.If you're a founder, marketer, or leader hungry for clear positioning, smarter content, and resilient execution, this conversation is your playbook for turning vision into a movement.
