In this powerful message on the Great Commission, Cressa Coldsmith examines what it truly means to "make disciples of all nations." She begins by establishing that this mission is backed by Christ's divine authority and explores how God's heart for all peoples runs throughout Scripture - from Abraham's call in Genesis to the multi-ethnic worship scene in Revelation 7.Cressa breaks down the discipleship process into three key components: going (engaging with people where they are), baptizing (bringing people into the family of faith), and teaching (walking alongside believers as they learn to obey Christ). She emphasizes that while not everyone is called to international missions, everyone has a vital role in fulfilling the Great Commission.The episode features special insights from Travis Helm about Global Reach's mission work across continents, and Cressa shares her own transformative experience serving in India and Bangladesh. She vulnerably discusses how God replaced her fears with confidence in Him, ultimately revealing that what we offer is simply the hope, freedom, and joy found in Jesus.This message will challenge and inspire you to discover your unique role in God's global rescue plan, reminding us all that we never go alone - Christ's presence goes with us to the very end of the age.Connect with us at www.grandpoint.church/nextstepsWatch online on YouTubeFollow us on Facebook and InstagramSign up for our free weekly newsletter

ZRCN CEO John Stauss joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's transformation from a family-founded private firm to a publicly traded innovator with global ambitions. ZRCN Inc., the parent of Zircon Corporation, is best known for its electronic stud finders—a product category it has long dominated and now plans to revolutionize once again. Stauss explained how the company has used Silicon Valley R&D to modernize a traditionally stagnant tool sector, solving everyday frustrations like locating wall studs without damaging drywall surfaces. “We solved that problem,” he said, pointing to the company's long-standing reputation for reliability in wood-frame construction markets. Beyond its classic offerings, ZRCN has broadened its product line to include devices that detect rebar, metal piping, and live AC wiring—addressing growing needs in both residential and commercial settings. These innovations are helping the company gain traction in international markets, expanding beyond North America where it first established its foothold. Looking ahead to 2025, Stauss revealed the company is gearing up to launch a new breakthrough technology that could reinvent the very category it pioneered. “Yes, yes, yes to all of the above,” he said when asked if the company was refining, innovating, and expanding at the same time. This next phase of growth will be driven by a mix of enhanced features, an expanded product portfolio, and wider global penetration. The CEO also reflected on how pandemic-era home improvement booms bolstered demand, and how ZRCN's resilient supply chain enabled the company to deliver when competitors couldn't. Now, with the company entering the public markets, investor engagement and transparency are becoming top priorities. #proactiveinvestors #otcqx #zrcn #StudFinder #HomeImprovement #ConstructionTech #DIYTools #InvestorUpdate #SiliconValleyTech #ElectronicSensors #GlobalExpansion #HomeRenovation #SupplyChain

I'm thrilled to share some exciting highlights from the latest episode of our podcast, where I had an incredible conversation with Eric Anderson, the co-founder and CTO of SynMax. Eric's journey from finance to launching a cutting-edge data intelligence company is nothing short of inspiring. Here are some key takeaways that I think you'll find fascinating: The Birth of SynMaxFrom Finance to Innovation: Eric's background in finance and investment analysis laid the groundwork for SynMax. His experience at firms like Merrill Lynch and Skyler Capital sparked the idea of leveraging privileged data, such as commercial satellite imagery, to create actionable intelligence products.Privileged Data vs. Open-Source Data: While many companies focus on open-source data, SynMax stands out by using high-quality, paid data sources. This unique approach allows them to deliver superior intelligence products to hedge funds, banks, and government entities.Target Market and Customer BaseWho Benefits?: SynMax's primary clients are hedge funds, banks, and government entities. With a customer base split roughly 60% government and defense and 40% financial institutions, SynMax is making waves in sectors that highly value actionable intelligence. Data Security and GrowthUnclassified but Secure: While SynMax's data is unclassified, they are exploring opportunities to integrate with classified data sources, emphasizing the importance of cybersecurity.Scaling Up: From a one-man show to a team of around 100 employees, Eric shares the challenges and triumphs of scaling a startup. Attracting top talent, especially software developers and data scientists, has been crucial to their growth. Leadership and CultureLessons in Leadership: Eric's journey as a leader has been shaped by experience and learning to delegate effectively. He stresses the importance of creating a culture where employees feel comfortable bringing bad news to leadership, fostering transparency and continuous improvement.Startup Culture: Speed and motivation are key. Eric is upfront about the demands of working at a startup, ensuring that new hires are passionate about the mission.Competitive EdgeStanding Out: SynMax's focus on privileged data sets them apart from competitors who rely on free data sources. This strategy allows them to provide high-quality intelligence at a lower overall cost. Future Trends and OpportunitiesExpanding Horizons: Eric is excited about the potential for data intelligence products to become more mainstream. With decreasing costs of satellite technology and the rise of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites, the future looks bright for SynMax. Key Strategies and ChallengesIdentifying Opportunities: The challenge isn't finding opportunities but identifying which ones have real potential. Eric emphasizes the importance of quickly developing minimum viable products (MVPs) and testing market demand.Navigating Volatility: Despite market volatility, SynMax operates in a defensible space. Their data helps clients identify opportunities during market overreactions, providing stability and value.Global Reach and Ethical ConsiderationsInternational Contracts: SynMax has contracts with the U.S. government and allied nations, highlighting their global reach.Maintaining Trust: Confidentiality and unbiased data are paramount. SynMax ensures that all client communications remain private, maintaining trust in a competitSend us a textConnect with Kip on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kipknippel/Watch Bite-Sized Clips on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@capitalistculture/shorts

Summary   In this episode, Blockchain Wayne interviews Nathan, a crypto web3 artist, who shares his journey from traditional art to the digital realm of NFTs. They discuss the evolution of art in the crypto space, the opportunities presented by NFTs, and the global reach of digital art. Nathan emphasizes the intersection of art, politics, technology, and finance, and how this unique space allows for collaboration and connection across borders. The conversation also touches on the future of art and music in Web3, highlighting the importance of provenance in the age of AI-generated content.   Takeaways   Nathan's journey into art was influenced by his mother's background in the arts. He initially rejected art due to pressure but returned to it later in life. The emergence of NFTs provided Nathan with a new opportunity to express himself as an artist. Digital art allows for a global audience, breaking down geographical barriers. NFTs can empower artists in countries with limited access to traditional markets. The intersection of art, politics, and technology creates unique opportunities for collaboration. Nathan believes that the future of art will involve more integration with technology and AI. The misconception that NFTs are just JPEGs overlooks their potential in various industries. Bitcoin's scarcity is a key factor in its value proposition. Investing in Bitcoin can start with small amounts, making it accessible to everyone.   Chapters   00:00 Introduction to Nathan and His Artistic Journey 03:03 The Evolution of Art in the Crypto Space 06:08 NFTs: Opportunities and Misconceptions 08:47 The Global Reach of Digital Art 12:04 Art, Politics, and Technology: A Unique Intersection 15:04 The Future of Art and Music in Web3 27:58 Closing Thoughts and Future Collaborations

Channel Partners 2025 | By Doug Green Vodafone is a global brand with deep roots in mobile communications, but what does Vodafone US do—and how can channel partners and carriers benefit? At Channel Partners, I sat down with David Joosten, CEO of Vodafone US, and Alain Masson, Vice President of Channel Partnership, to get the full story. “If you're supporting enterprises with a global footprint, Vodafone is a partner you should know,” Joosten told me. Vodafone US is not a consumer-facing business, but rather the enterprise arm of Vodafone Group, dedicated to serving US-headquartered multinational companies. These are typically Fortune 500 organizations that require connectivity, voice, IoT, managed services, and network solutions—not just domestically, but in 90+ countries where Vodafone operates or has deep partnerships. A Global Network with Local Expertise “We've evolved far beyond mobile,” Joosten explained. “Today, we fuel 30–40% of the world's internet traffic through our global backbone. And for US enterprises looking to scale globally, we bring both reach and regulatory know-how.” That's critical, especially in regions where companies need local contracting capabilities, compliance with local tax regulations, and in-country technical support. Vodafone can deliver on all three, thanks to its owned operations in 27 countries and partnerships in 60 more. Why the Channel Matters Alain Masson is leading Vodafone's push into the channel ecosystem in the US, building relationships with top technology services distributors (TSDs) and resellers. “We're here to extend Vodafone's capabilities to a broader audience in the US—especially those supporting globally distributed enterprises,” said Masson. “We've already seen success with large channel-led deals and continue to grow rapidly.” For partners, Vodafone offers a broad portfolio—from voice and data to IoT and managed services—all delivered through a centralized US-based team with global execution capabilities. A Message for Rural Telcos and Regional Carriers Joosten also extended an invitation to regional operators, including rural telcos, First Nation carriers, and other service providers. “We've built an entire Partner Markets organization for this. Whether it's co-branded services, shared network investments, or roaming agreements, we know how to work with other operators,” he said. With shared services, procurement scale, and AI-powered innovations already in place, Vodafone is looking to collaborate across North America—no matter the size of the partner. Where to Learn More Vodafone US may not be a household name domestically, but its global infrastructure, experience in complex markets, and now, a growing channel program, make it a powerful option for enterprises, MSPs, and carriers alike.

As Fanvil celebrates over 20 years in business, the company is gaining new momentum with a message of innovation, integration, and affordability for enterprise and service provider customers alike.

Over the last decade, the company has moved into the spotlight with a full portfolio of enterprise-grade endpoints, including the latest V-Series of IP phones and specialty solutions tailored for security, healthcare, and hospitality environments. A Complete, Interoperable Ecosystem Fanvil's strength lies in its ability to integrate traditional telephony with IoT, access control, and smart surveillance. From nurse call systems and in-room patient stations to emergency pull cords and door intercoms, Fanvil offers a seamless ecosystem — all centrally manageable through the Fanvil Device Management System. “The innovation engine behind Fanvil is what makes it stand out,” said Hodgson. “We're not just building phones — we're building smart devices that fit into broader communication and safety workflows.” V-Series: Enterprise Features at Disruptive Prices The new V-Series includes models that range from basic lobby phones to advanced devices with 10-inch Android touchscreens, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB connectivity. These models support advanced use cases such as monitoring IP cameras, offering frontline staff tools that go beyond voice. A standout example is the A320i, a specialized device with a gooseneck microphone designed for reception and security desks — providing real-time visibility into surveillance feeds. Global Reach, Local Growth Already well established in Europe, South America, and Asia, Fanvil is rapidly expanding its presence in North America, aiming to attract more attention from cloud communications providers and service partners seeking cost-effective, feature-rich endpoints.

Leadership Adaptability and Efficacy: Dr. Pat emphasizes the importance of adaptability for leaders, highlighting awareness, diligence, accommodation, proficiency, and transience as key elements He introduces the Leader Efficacy Model, a quadrant-based approach to mentoring and growing leaders within a business.Enjoy the final section of Dr. Pat's presentation at the Black BRAND Summit, focusing on leadership and business acumen. He emphasizes the importance of adaptability, awareness, diligence, proficiency, and being transient for leaders. Dr. Pat introduces his Leader Efficacy Model, which categorizes individuals into potentials, promoters, producers, and performers, providing guidance on how to nurture and deploy talent within an organization. He further addresses cultivating essential leadership qualities like accountability and advocates for training to empower teams. Dr. Pat underscores the importance of knowing both your own and your employees' strengths and weaknesses, as well as the need to cultivate core values in a company through training and by leading by example. The presentation concludes with a question-and-answer session that explores strategies for developing leaders, properly placing employees, and addressing underperformance.Key aspects of Dr. Pat's leadership insights include:Adaptability: Every leader needs to adapt by being aware, diligent, and accommodating. Awareness: Leaders should know their brand's position in the marketplace, similar to how stockbrokers monitor market happenings. Diligence: Diligence drives passion and enables leaders to excel, requiring accommodation for circumstances and individual strengths and shortcomings. Leader Efficacy Model: This model involves four quadrants: potentials (identify, design a path, and develop), promoters (retain and restore), producers (engage and empower), and performers (develop, direct, and deploy).... Leaders should aim to have these four types of people on their team to scale their business.Accountability: Dr. Pat stresses that leaders must be accountable to themselves and their teams, taking responsibility for their actions to enhance credibility4.Individual Leadership Development Plan: Every leader needs a plan to attain their vision alongside an accountability partner. Great leaders understand their weaknesses, empowering strengths and delegating challenges.The 10/80/10 Modification of the Pareto Principle: The top 10% are the performers making things happen, the 80% are just there riding the wave, and the bottom 10% are not working out. Give the bottom 10% a mutually agreed upon time with a training process to attain specific milestones and goals.Hiring and Placement: Use assessments like DiSC to align individuals with appropriate roles based on their strengths. If someone is not performing, consider if they are in the proper position and provide training to help them excel.Leading by Example: A leader's core values and how he leads himself will determine how the organization is led.Interested in sponsoring the podcast?

What does a pink puppet called Connie have to do with ethics? More than you might think. On this episode, I'm speaking with a lawyer, whose innovative approach to getting employees to engage in ethics, involved turning to something we all know from our childhood, a puppet.Episode SummaryThat lawyer and my guest on this episode is Fraser Simpson, Associate General Counsel at the Wellcome Trust.  He's on the show to me to tell me about a creative and award-winning approach to embedding ethics in organisations. Fraser and the team at Acteon Communications tackled the challenge of inspiring ethical decision-making in a world where written policies often fall short. Their solution? Connie, a hot pink puppet who represents a conscience, prompting employees to ask, "What would Connie do?" Fraser shares how Connie was born from a need to engage employees in meaningful, human-centred conversations about ethics and compliance. We delve into why traditional approaches often fail, how behavioural science can transform organisational cultures, and why creativity is a powerful tool for behaviour change. Whether you're in legal, compliance, or simply curious about innovation in professional settings, Fraser's insights are both practical and inspiring. Throughout our conversation, Fraser illustrates the power of storytelling, humour, and simplicity in sparking conversations that matter. Connie's journey—from a sketch to a living, breathing character—offers lessons for anyone trying to make complex ideas relatable and impactful.Guest BiographyFraser is the Associate General Counsel at the Wellcome Trust, one of the world's largest charitable foundations supporting science to tackle urgent health challenges. Fraser's work that we discuss on the show focuses on developing a business integrity framework that empowers employees to make sound decisions in moments that matter.With a background in law and a passion for creativity, Fraser has pioneered innovative approaches to compliance, including the development of Connie, a hot pink puppet that embodies ethics and inspires employees to think critically.He describes himself as a dad of two first and a lawyer second, drawing on everyday challenges and creativity to influence his professional work.AI-Generated Timestamped Summary of Key Points[00:00:02] Innovative Ethics Solution (14 Minutes)Fraser introduces Connie, a bright pink puppet created to make ethics training engaging and memorable.

Connie balances humour and professionalism to spark meaningful conversations. [00:34:32] Communicating Ethics Through Creativity (11 Minutes)The Compliance team has considered how to deploy multi-sensory strategies, such as tactile tools and music, to make ethics training more engaging. These creative methods integrate ethics seamlessly into employees' daily routines. [00:45:05] Launching Connie and Sustaining Engagement (6 Minutes)Connie's debut redefines compliance training by prioritising empowerment over box-ticking. Strategies like in-person meetings and digital tools ensure Connie stays relevant across the organisation. [00:50:51] Encouraging Ethical Conversations (14 Minutes)Fraser discusses innovative training approaches, such as regular ethical dilemmas and the "What Would Connie Do?" framework. These quick, consistent exercises develop decision-making skills and foster lasting habits. [01:04:50] Balancing Compliance and Personal Accountability (12 Minutes)The conversation highlights the importance of personal agency in decision-making.

Here are some of the key points discussed:Personal Journey to Immigration Law: Akua relocated from Ghana to the U.S. and encountered significant challenges transitioning her legal career. Despite skepticism and hurdles, she built her own law practice, beginning with intellectual property law and eventually pivoting to immigration in response to the needs of her clients.Cultural Understanding in Legal Representation: Akua emphasized how her shared cultural and experiential background with clients helps her offer more nuanced legal support, particularly in navigating issues such as proving the legitimacy of marriages and understanding immigrant struggles.Insight Into Immigration Trends:With changes in U.S. administrations, the immigration landscape could experience stricter enforcement policies, including mass deportations or denaturalization initiatives.Akua stressed the importance of preparation, such as maintaining complete immigration records and seeking lawyer guidance rather than navigating complex immigration laws alone.Advice for Immigrants:All immigrants—naturalized citizens, green card holders, non-immigrants, and undocumented individuals—need to stay proactive and informed about their rights and responsibilities.A central piece of advice was to consult an immigration attorney before submitting applications to avoid mistakes that can lead to severe consequences like deportation or case denials.Global Reach of Services: Akua's firm supports clients across the U.S. and worldwide, reflecting immigration law's federal nature and the firm's capacity to work virtually with a wide array of clients.Encouragement to Immigrants:Akua underlined the possibilities of living the American Dream with hard work, rule-following, and resourcefulness. Her firm prioritizes each client's case, ensuring personalized attention and zealous advocacy. For further information or assistance, visit akpokulaw.com, or find Akua on social media using the handle @AkPoku across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Threads, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube.
