This episode features the core team behind Sora, OpenAI's groundbreaking video generation platform that became the #1 app in the App Store. Bill Peebles (research lead), Rohan Sahai (product lead), and Thomas Dimson (engineering/product lead with Instagram background) discuss the unexpected viral success of Sora's launch, the product journey that led to the breakthrough "cameo" feature (putting yourself in AI-generated videos), and their philosophy of building a creator-first social network that prioritizes human creativity over passive consumption. They reveal the technical milestones in video generation, their small team size (under 50 people total at launch), navigation of content moderation challenges, early monetization strategy, and their ambitious vision for video models as world simulators that could eventually contribute to scientific breakthroughs by 2028. The conversation captures both the tactical product decisions and strategic philosophy that made Sora a cultural phenomenon.

At the Crexendo UGM, Jeff Korn, CEO of Crexendo, spoke with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, about the company's record growth, customer-first philosophy, and expanding global capabilities. The conversation took place at the historic Fontainebleau Resort in Miami Beach — a fitting venue for a company celebrating both legacy and innovation. The event marked a major milestone as Crexendo approached (and soon after surpassed) seven million users, underscoring its status as one of the fastest-growing platform providers in the communications industry. “We're the fastest-growing platform provider in the country,” Korn said. “Our growth is driven by the best people, products, and service in the industry — bar none.” Korn attributes much of the company's success to its “sessions, not seats” pricing model, which allows partners to pay only for what is actually used — a flexibility especially valuable in large environments such as hospitality. “Our model provides real value,” he explained. “If your phones aren't in use, you're not paying for idle capacity. It's simple, fair, and efficient.” Beyond its pricing innovation, Crexendo continues to invest heavily in open APIs and its EVP program, a new company store where licensees and developers can access or offer third-party applications to customize and extend the NetSapiens platform. “We're giving our partners limitless possibilities to differentiate,” Korn said. “It's an ecosystem that keeps growing every year — just look at the number of vendors and integrations showcased here at the UGM.” Korn also highlighted the company's global expansion powered by its partnership with Oracle Cloud. “We can now turn up an instance in one or two days and meet data sovereignty requirements anywhere in the world,” he said. “That capability has already enabled us to serve customers in regions like Africa — and we're just getting started.” At the heart of Crexendo's success, Korn emphasized, is a commitment to service and community. “We are a company of service,” he said. “We listen, we act, and we care about every one of our licensees. Our success is built on their success.” To learn more about Crexendo's UCaaS and NetSapiens platform solutions, visit www.crexendo.com.
At the Crexendo UGM, Matt Siemens, CEO of NUSO, sat down with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, to discuss NUSO's innovative approach to AI, its newly announced partnership with Crexendo, and the company's accelerating global expansion across Europe. As a major event sponsor, NUSO created a branded lounge area at the conference to facilitate deeper engagement and longer conversations with partners. But Siemens' main stage presentation captured the spotlight — highlighting NUSO's AI philosophy and architecture, which centers on creating a digital twin of its network environment to reduce AI hallucinations and improve contextual accuracy. “Our focus isn't on AI as a product, but as an enabler — a force that increases velocity and outcomes,” Siemens explained. “By maintaining a live digital twin of our network within the AI environment, we can reduce misinformation, enhance software development, and deliver more meaningful customer experiences.” Siemens also spoke about the importance of continuous updates to avoid the pitfalls of static AI environments — what he referred to as “hyperreality” — and explored how concepts like vCons act as “micro mirrors” that enrich contextual understanding in customer interactions. In major business news, Siemens announced a global technology partnership with Crexendo, through which NUSO will provide carrier and related services while expanding its use of the NetSapiens platform into new markets. The company's European expansion is also gaining momentum, with new operator authority in 14 countries, including recent launches in France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. “We've taken the approach of building regulatory compliance and numbering authority first,” Siemens said. “That foundation gives our partners and customers greater reliability and agility as we expand across Europe.” To learn more about NUSO's global communications and AI innovations, visit www.nuso.cloud.

Gareth Davies, Chairman of F3 (First Forensic Forum), joins the Forensic Focus Podcast to explore how a grassroots, vendor-neutral community has helped shape digital forensics in the UK for three decades. He traces F3's origins in the 1990s, when affordable training and tool-agnostic knowledge-sharing were scarce, and explains why the forum still focuses on byte-level, lab-ready techniques over sales pitches. Looking ahead, Gareth previews F3's 2025 conference in Warwickshire (Nov 18–20), the not-for-profit pricing model, and upcoming trainings on UAVs, software-defined radio, implants/biomed devices, smartwatch and vehicle forensics, and video authentication/deepfakes. He also discusses international growth (including interest in an Australian chapter) and an open call for volunteers to help run events and keep training affordable. #DigitalForensics #DFIR #ForensicsTraining #IncidentResponse #VehicleForensics #CryberCrime #DigitalEvidence #DigitalInvestigtion #DigitalEvidence

Rhea Ripley stole the spotlight on Raw, and Kevin Nash has plenty to say about it. From the kabuki spray finish to the way the match was structured, Nash explains why this was the best bout he's seen in weeks. He also lays out why Rhea needs the same kind of protection that stars like Cody Rhodes get. AJ Lee's return also comes under the spotlight. Kevin compares her comeback to other iconic reinventions in wrestling, debating whether she should have leaned on nostalgia or arrived with something entirely new. The conversation digs into character evolution, the fine line between realism and “bogus wrestling,” and how AJ fits against today's roster. Cody Rhodes gets major praise as Nash calls him the best weekly promo in wrestling. The episode unpacks his dynamic with Seth Rollins, the subtleties that make segments feel real, and how storytelling can be elevated by breaking character at just the right time. The discussion also moves global. From WWE's expansion to Australia and Saudi Arabia, to speculation about WrestleMania becoming a twice-yearly event, Nash weighs in on what the “W” in WWE really means. He and Sean explore the business side, from ticket sales to TKO stock buybacks, and how the company balances American audiences with worldwide growth. And as always, it's not just wrestling.

Rev. Terence Gray continues our “Living the Five” series with Global Reach—the conviction that God loves people of every nation and neighborhood, and that the church crosses barriers because Christ first crossed them for us. Opening with a true “find my iPhone” rescue, Pastor Terence asks: if we'll go to great lengths for a phone, how far will God go for a person? Rooted in Genesis 12's promise that “all peoples on earth will be blessed,” he casts a vision of our world as a global village and calls us to join a global God—often not by crossing an ocean, but by crossing a street, a hallway, or an aisle. You'll encounter Jesus in John 4, who “had to” go through Samaria to meet a woman at a well, modeling the high road of openness and trust over fear and suspicion, and offering not just water but “living water.” Learn why the gospel turns spectators into sent ones, how to discern when awkwardness is a cue to press through rather than pull back, and practical ways to embody justice and mercy “near and far” so that others begin making their way toward Jesus. May we be a people who cross barriers because Christ crossed the cosmos for us.
For many children, going barefoot isn't a choice—it's a daily struggle that puts their health, safety, and future at risk. But one pair of shoes can change that story.Today, we'll hear how Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls is bringing hope and dignity to vulnerable children around the world. Shawn Spurrier joins us to share how God is changing lives through something as ordinary—and extraordinary—as shoes.Shawn Spurrier is the Director of Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls at Buckner International, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. A Mission That Began in DallasBuckner Shoes for Orphan Souls started in 1999 as a local effort in Dallas, Texas, to serve children in Russian orphanages. Over 25 years later, God has expanded this work into a global ministry. Today, more than 5 million children in 86 countries have received shoes through the generosity of churches, businesses, and believers across the U.S.What began as a small act of compassion has grown into a worldwide movement of hope.More Than Shoes: Health, Safety, and EducationAround 300 million children worldwide lack access to shoes. This barrier affects nearly every aspect of life:Health—Shoes prevent footborne diseases, many of which carry social stigma and long-term consequences.Education—In many countries, shoes are required for school attendance. Without them, children are forced to stay home, trapped in cycles of poverty.Hope—Receiving shoes as a gift in Jesus' name opens hearts to the Gospel and connects families with life-changing ministries.Shoes are more than fabric and rubber—they are a bridge to dignity, opportunity, and transformation.Restoring Dignity for FamiliesFor many of us, buying new shoes for back-to-school is routine. But in parts of the world where Buckner serves, parents may spend months saving to afford just one pair—or go without entirely. Some families must rotate a single pair of shoes between siblings, deciding who can attend school on a given day.The gift of shoes restores dignity to parents, enabling them to provide for their children and giving kids the confidence to learn, grow, and thrive.Global Reach and Local ImpactBuckner's ministry extends both globally and locally:United States—Shoe distributions in Texas, including for families affected by flooding.Latin America—Serving children in Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Honduras, and Peru.Africa—Programs in Ethiopia and Kenya.Beyond—Partnerships have extended Buckner's reach into 75+ additional countries.Every pair of shoes opens the door to broader ministry. Family Hope Centers offer resources, education, and Christ-centered training, bringing lasting transformation to entire communities.How You Can JoinTogether, we're striving to provide 1,000 children with shoes, socks, and the message of God's love.$15 provides one child with shoes and socks.$150 equips ten children.Visit GiveShoesToday.org to make your gift and bring hope to a child in need.Shoes may seem ordinary, but in the life of a child, they are extraordinary. They represent safety, opportunity, dignity, and above all, the love of Christ.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 40 and have several old 401(k) accounts from past employers.

Guiding Question: How can the church prepare for what's next while faithfully handing off leadership to the next generation? Summary Description: In this heartfelt and visionary message, Robert Lewis shares his final sermon as a staff member of Fellowship Bible Church. Using a marathon analogy and drawing from 2 Timothy 4, he frames the transfer of leadership as a necessary and strategic “handoff” to the next generation. Like Paul entrusting Timothy to lead the church at Ephesus, Lewis charges the younger leaders at Fellowship—particularly Tim Lundy—with the responsibility of preaching the Word and fulfilling their ministry with conviction and endurance. This message is both personal and prophetic. Lewis reflects on 25 years of ministry, celebrates the strength of the church, and lays out five key cultural and ministry trends that the next generation must address to ensure the church remains vibrant and faithful. Outline: Marathon Analogy – A race requires preparation, guidance, and the right pacing. Paul and Timothy (2 Timothy 4) – The sacred handoff of leadership and mission. The Reality of Decline – Every thriving church has a shelf life without renewal. Five Cultural and Ministry Trends: Massive church closures due to generational shifts. A move toward small, high-quality churches. A demand for doctrinal clarity and authentic leadership. The rise of homegrown, non-seminary ministers. A renewed focus on evangelizing children and teens. Personal Reflections and Departure – Robert Lewis formally announces his transition to Global Reach and commissions Fellowship's next generation. The Final Charge – Preach the Word. Fulfill your ministry. Die with no regrets. Key Takeaways Effective leadership transitions are intentional, spiritual, and urgent for the future health of the church. The church must adapt to cultural and generational changes without compromising doctrinal clarity or mission. Small churches can be powerful when combined with excellence and community. The future of the church depends on equipping everyday believers for ministry. The most strategic evangelism today is aimed at youth, given their openness and under-reached status. Finishing well means living with “no regrets” and passing the baton with confidence and hope. Scriptural References 2 Timothy 4:1–8 – Paul's solemn charge to Timothy and reflection on finishing well. Acts 20:18–32 (paraphrased) – Paul's farewell to the Ephesian elders, adapted by Lewis to say goodbye to Fellowship. Ecclesiastes 3:1 (implied) – Recognizing seasons and times for transitions.

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

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.

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.

Track List (55:51): Believer (Summer Of Pride Mix) - Freemasons Love On My Mind (Club Mix) - Freemasons Music Make Me A Dancer (Radboy Mash Mix) - Madonna vs. Freemasons When You Touch Me (Original Mix) - Freemasons featuring Katherine Ellis Here Comes The Rain Again (Freemasons Vocal Mix) - Eurythmics Uninvited (Freemasons Bootleg Mix) - Alanis Morissette: As the story goes, this is the version that was stolen from the Freemasons and thus made it onto the internet. It was an instant sensation. I secretly think the Freemasons were thrilled. However, there was never an agreement with Alanis. Too bad for her. They eventually recorded a vocal with Bailey Tzuke some time late. It was good but inferior to the bootleg. LOVE!

Each week I document what I'm doing in my business and creative journey, share new things I've discovered, mistakes I've made, and much more! About Leroy: I'm Leroy, a YouTube Strategist. I've been doing YouTube since 2009, had my first success in 2012 and stopped focusing on my own channel full-time in 2019. By accident, I built a creative production agency off the back of the channel and worked with some awesome brands around the world from it. I came back to YouTube in 2022 as a strategist when I saw that it became an actual role and said goodbye to my businesses fully. Since then I have helped creators of all sizes monetize their channels with just one video, tripled subscriber counts in a matter of months, and garnered millions of views in the process. Now I work with established creators, entrepreneurs and other fun clients and think about YouTube all day!
