I brought in Dany Elachi of the Australian-based Heads Up Alliance to learn about the recent U16 Age Gate Bill which passed in Australia. In addition to breaking down the new law, Dany shares his personal experience in (admittedly) giving his pre-teen daughter a phone too early and how correcting this mistake led to an advocacy movement across Australia. Dany breaks down the legislative battle in getting this new law passed, how the age verification will work, which platforms this applies to and much more.  Resources Mentioned in the Episode Scott Galloway Explains Why Age Gating Social Media Is Both Necessary and Doable Australia Passes Social Media Ban for Kids Under 16 Dany Elachi is a Sydney husband and father of five children, aged between 7 and 15. He is also the founder of the Heads Up Alliance, a volunteer-run, grassroots movement of Australian parents committed to delaying smartphones and social media for their children. Since its inception in 2020, the Heads Up Alliance has also been a powerful advocate for children's wellbeing. The movement has successfully advocated for policy changes that led to smartphones banned in nearly 1,000 Australian schools. More recently, the Heads Up Alliance played a pivotal role in lobbying for a world-leading national law raising the minimum age for social media to 16. The Heads Up Alliance remains committed to ending the phone-based childhood and reclaiming the play-based one for all Australian children. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scrolling2death/support

Cabo Verde destacou-se na edição 2024 da Web Summit, em Lisboa, como o único país africano presente, com um espaço de exposição próprio e uma delegação composta por 15 startups. O Secretário de Estado da Economia Digital de Cabo Verde, Pedro Lopes, reiterou o compromisso do governo em transformar o país numa referência tecnológica na África Ocidental. A participação na Web Summit resultou numa nova parceria estratégica com a Microsoft, ampliando as oportunidades para os jovens cabo-verdianos. Quais é que são os principais objetivos da participação Especialmente com a presença de 15 startups nas áreas de saúde, bem estar, comércio, recrutamento, marketing digital e muitas outras. Pedro Lopes: O principal objectivo é multiplicar oportunidades. É nosso dever, enquanto governo, criar oportunidades para os jovens terem palco neste grande certame internacional. Nós queremos ser uma referência de tecnologia na costa ocidental africana e para isso é preciso nós capacitamos os nossos jovens e colocamos estes jovens também no centro do mundo tecnológico. Digo sempre que não é preciso ser um adivinho para perceber que o futuro do mundo será desenhado nestes certames tecnológicos. Cabo Verde quer estar presente e estar aqui com os nossos, com os nossos talentos. Queremos ganhar visibilidade, queremos mostrar que também temos uma palavra a dizer e queremos um um assento nesta mesa que será, com toda a certeza, a mesa do desenvolvimento económico através da tecnologia e da inovação.Cabo Verde é o único país africano com um espaço de exposição próprio na WebSummit. O que é que representa para Cabo Verde ser reconhecido e ter esta visibilidade?É uma visibilidade que é ganha pela aposta do governo. Temos ganho continuamente visibilidade graças àquilo que são as conquistas das nossas startups. Os rankings internacionais mostram isso mesmo. Nós também este ano fomos convidados para ter um espaço para falar, para ser orador, junto do ministro de Marrocos para falar sobre as oportunidades dos ecossistemas e as interseções entre políticas públicas e economia digital. E este é o reconhecimento da comunidade internacional da tecnologia nas nossas startups e naquilo que temos vindo a fazer no nosso país. Anunciámos uma importante parceria com a Microsoft, um gigante tecnológico onde vamos ter cada vez mais inteligência artificial ao serviço da educação, ao serviço dos servidores públicos também, para que depois os cabo-verdianos possam ter uma melhor qualidade de vida e possam também, como eu disse, serem atores e não só espetadores deste mundo em mudança.A prova de que esta presença contribui para a internacionalização das startups cabo-verdianas.Sim, com toda a certeza. Estamos aqui a falar de startups cabo-verdianas que conectam com os melhores, estão sempre em contacto com o que melhor se faz no mundo e a nossa presença aqui também tem muita visibilidade. Também estivemos presentes na The Next Web na Holanda, estivemos na HumanTech em Paris, um evento sobre tecnologia para meninas e mulheres. Estivemos no GITEX, em Marrocos. Ou seja, nós queremos antecipar as tendências, queremos dizer presente nestes palcos internacionais e com toda a certeza isto vai fazer a diferença no futuro dos nossos jovens e no futuro do nosso país.Referiu-se ao facto de ter participado no Painel sobre Ecossistemas de Inovação, no qual participou ao lado de Marrocos, descreveu as políticas públicas e o investimento que têm sido implementadas em Cabo Verde para apoiar a inovação e o desenvolvimento digital. Como é que estas iniciativas podem ajudar a atrair mais investidores e parcerias internacionais?O dever do governo deve ser este: criar as infra-estruturas certas, formar as pessoas, capacitar cada vez mais jovens e depois de ter uma legislação que pode atrair mais empresas de tecnologias a estabelecerem-se em Cabo Verde. Já temos várias empresas internacionais que estão a trabalhar em Cabo Verde com talento cabo-verdiano, queremos continuar a fazê-lo e nós somos pequenos, mas queremos ser relevantes neste mundo que está em mudança. A nossa pequenez permite nos ser também mais ágeis, mais flexíveis. Acho que isto é uma vantagem para um pequeno Estado insular como Cabo Verde.Com um aumento do número de startups tecnológicas em Cabo Verde. Qual é que tem sido o impacto da plataforma GO Global na promoção de empresas do país, no cenário internacional?Esta nossa presença faz com que a gente tenha mais visibilidade e por isso é que eu fiz referência os rankings internacionais, onde Cabo Verde começa a figurar, pela primeira vez, nos rankings internacionais do sector privado por aquilo que é feito na área da governação eletrónica no país. Nos últimos anos, nos últimos seis, sete anos, temos feito uma aposta directa no empreendedorismo de base tecnológica, uma aposta reforçada na área da formação, faz com que o país consiga conquistar cada vez mais postos relativamente àquilo que são os rankings de inovação. Continuamos a subir nestes rankings. Óbvio que nós contribuímos para os rankings, mas é um reconhecimento bom e é aquilo que temos feito é conseguir este reconhecimento através de todos os esforços do governo, mas também das nossas startups. Elas é que são a razão também da nossa subida neste ranking.Fez referência ao facto de o governo cabo-verdiano ter investido na transformação digital. Pergunto-lhe quais é que são os próximos passos para fortalecer ainda mais o ecossistema digital e garantir que as startups e as empresas cabo-verdianas se integrem de forma sustentável no mercado global?O próximo ano será fundamental porque teremos a abertura oficial, que já está em funcionamento, mas teremos a abertura oficial do nosso parque Tecnológico. O portal consular que foi uma referência este ano para os cabo-verdianos porque puderam aceder aos serviços consulares através do seu telemóvel ou do seu computador. No próximo ano vai ser expandido para todos os cabo-verdianos, não só os que vivem fora de Cabo Verde.Estes são dois momentos marcantes: A questão do portal Consular ser um portal digital para todos os cabo-verdianos e o Parque Tecnológico para acolhermos mais empresas tecnológicas internacionais para desenvolvermos mais talento nacional e apoiarmos a que os jovens cabo-verdianos possam criar as suas próprias empresas e sermos uma referência, como disse, para conquistarmos aquilo que é o nosso objectivo, que é ser uma referência na costa ocidental africana. Nós somos Cabo Verde, as ilhas Tech da costa ocidental africana.Fala deste portal consular, em que medida é que ele pode ser inovador e o que é que pode acrescentar? Ele é inovador excatamente porque coloca todos os serviços públicos ao serviço dos cidadãos através de um clique. Eu acho que nós temos de centralizar esta ideia, que as pessoas têm que se deslocar a redes físicos para ter acesso a serviços que são os serviços dos cidadãos. Nós temos que fazer fazer isso. Então, uma nação arqueológica como Cabo Verde, mas também uma nação diaspórica já deu o espaço. Agora é o tempo de nós colocarmos cabo de qualquer ilha, desde Santo Antão à Brava, para poder ter acesso a estes serviços digitais e poder fazer uso daquilo que são os seus direitos enquanto cidadão.O tema principal da edição deste ano da Web Summit foi a inteligência artificial, a A.I., com vários sub temáticas como a regulamentação, a durabilidade, as questões éticas?Acho que estamos cada vez mais a falar do impacto que a inteligência artificial pode ter na vida das pessoas, mas acho que temos que a narrativa tem que passar de medo para oportunidade. Senti isto este ano com várias empresas a apresentar várias soluções tecnológicas que utilizam a inteligência artificial ao serviço das pessoas. Houve uma mudança fundamental na perspectiva em que a inteligência artificial se apresenta cada vez mais como uma oportunidade. Acho que temos que ver isso mesmo: As pessoas andam com receio da inteligência artificial, mas um pequeno país como Cabo Verde, por exemplo, deve ver a inteligência artificial como uma grande oportunidade. Acho que esta é a grande oportunidade para um pequeno Estado insular, a de aproveitar a inteligência artificial para fazer um Leap Frog. Para nós, a mensagem é clara: Não há que ter medo, jhá que agarrar a oportunidade da inteligência artificial multiplicar e desenvolver o nosso país através desta ferramenta.Esta edição da WebSummit decorreu uma semana depois da eleição de Donald Trump à presidência norte-americana. Durante este evento falou-se, debateu-se sobre as questões das representações das empresas tecnológicas norte-americanas com esta reeleição, de Donald Trump?Vamos esperar para ver. Eu acho que os Estados têm, os cidadãos têm o direito de votar em quem entender melhor. Os Estados Unidos elegeram o Presidente Donald Trump como o Presidente da América, vão ter que se adaptar. Mas também acredito que o Presidente americano queira criar riqueza no seu país e as empresas americanas actuam em mercados globais. Por isso acho que as coisas não vão mudar nesse sentido. Óbvio que o mundo vai ficar cada vez mais definido por blocos políticos, mesmo na área do digital, mas isso faz parte da realidade do nosso mundo. Nós, enquanto Cabo Verde, sabemos quais são os valores que nós defendemos e não abdicamos deles. Por isso é que o nosso país também é reconhecido pela nossa estabilidade democrática, pela dignidade humana e pelo desenvolvimento da educação e da economia e com o foco na sustentabilidade. A partir daí é preciso percebemos como é que podemos, como eu disse, ser actores deste mundo em constante mudança.A Web Summit decorreu entre os dias 10 e 13 de Novembro, em Lisboa, e reuniu mais de 70.000 participantes, 1000 investidores e um número recorde de 2750 startups.

Let's get real—hiring shouldn't feel like a leap of faith. We've all been there. You've got a role to fill, and suddenly, you're staring at a pile of resumes that all look the same or scrolling through job platforms, wondering how to separate the rockstars from the rest. It feels like a gamble—like you're rolling the dice and hoping the chosen person can deliver.But what if hiring wasn't a game of chance? What if you could approach it with the same clarity and confidence you bring to other areas of your business? In this follow-up episode with my great friend and mentor, Kevin Ashcroft, CEO of WP Support Specialists and author of Outsourcing for Success, we'll answer these questions and more. If you didn't listen to the first half of this episode, “What is Global Talent and How Can You Hire Them for Your Business?” check it out.Kevin's been in the hiring trenches for over 15 years, refining a system that takes the guesswork out of finding the right talent. It's not just about skills (though those matter, of course)—it's about identifying the why behind the role, aligning it with your company's goals, and ensuring the person you bring on shares your values.Because here's the thing: hiring is one of the most critical investments you'll make as a business owner. And when you approach it strategically, the payoff isn't just a good hire—it's a stronger, more cohesive team that helps your business thrive.Kevin's Results Speak for ThemselvesFrom a single hire to a global team: Kevin scaled WP Support Specialists by outsourcing everything from admin to advanced development, proving that global talent isn't just cost-effective—it's transformative.Efficiency that pays off: His approach slashes hiring time while improving the quality of hires, giving entrepreneurs more time to focus on growth.Navigating AI-driven changes: Kevin's insights on sifting through AI-generated job applications are necessary for anyone hiring in today's tech-saturated landscape.Key Insights from the Episode:Hiring Starts with the “Why”Too many of us rush into hiring because we feel the pressure of an empty seat. Kevin's process begins with asking: Do we really need this role? If you don't know the answer, you're setting yourself up for a mismatch.Cultural Fit Is a Game-ChangerSkills can be trained, but shared values can't. Kevin's emphasis on cultural alignment as a non-negotiable for hiring resonated deeply with me. It's saved me from making some big mistakes in the past.Think Beyond BordersKevin and I geeked out about the beauty of global talent. It's not just a cost-saving move—it's about finding the right person, no matter where they're based. Forget the stereotypes; talent is talent.AI Is Changing the GamePlatforms are flooded with AI-generated responses that make sorting through candidates more challenging. Kevin shared some tricks to separate the real deal from the fluff. (Hint: Generic job posts don't cut it anymore.)Why This MattersHere's the deal—Kevin's approach isn't about quick fixes. It's about creating systems that work for your business, not just today but as you grow. I know firsthand how tempting it is to just “fill the gap,” but every hire should bring you closer to your long-term vision.This episode is for you if:You're tired of wasting time on the wrong candidates.You want to build a team that shares your values and drives results.You're ready to stop putting out fires and start hiring strategically.Whether you're just starting or scaling your team globally, Kevin's insights are a masterclass in strategic hiring. I walked away with some new ideas to refine my own process, and I know you will, too.Resources Mentioned:Outsourcing for Success by Kevin AshcroftUpworkFreeUpClickMinded SOP LibraryWork With MeIf you're ready to scale your business, having the right team is just the start. To succeed, you need a strategic framework aligning your talent with your goals.

Ukraine's president warns it could lead to "a world war." Is Volodymyr Zelensky overreacting by sounding the alarm over the deployment of North Korean soldiers to Russia? NATO believes the troops are destined for the Kursk region on the border with Ukraine, where the Kremlin's forces have struggled to push back a Ukrainian incursion. Seoul is certainly taking the threat seriously, having dispatched its defence minister to Washington amid reports of a South Korean delegation expected in Kyiv. Is this the moment where NATO lifts restrictions on the use of its weaponry by Ukraine? How far will this escalation go?And what's in it for Pyongyang's regime? In recent months, it has severed mediation channels and destroyed roads across the demilitarized zone. Those garbage-filled balloons launched towards the South may seem comical from afar, but rising tensions are no laughing matter. Does Kim Jong Un actually want war? If so, why? And is the West prepared?

Being adaptable isn't just a nice-to-have—it's essential for any entrepreneur who wants to see their business thrive for years to come. Flexibility in business helps you to navigate unexpected challenges, seize new opportunities, and pivot when necessary. My interview with Bakari Akil reminded me of just how important it is to build your business with that flexibility at the core, so that you can effectively address any changes in the market without having to reinvent your operations every single time. About Bakari AkilBakari Akil is an experienced entrepreneur and investor with a strong background in acquisitions and business development. As the Managing Director of Graves Hall Capital, Bakari has successfully led the acquisition of several companies, demonstrating a keen eye for identifying valuable opportunities. His approach to entrepreneurship is rooted in flexibility and adaptability, allowing him to navigate complex deals and build a diverse portfolio of businesses.Other than his work in acquisitions, Bakari loves sharing his knowledge and experiences in digital nomadism. He has traveled extensively while managing his ventures, proving that with the right strategy, business can be conducted from anywhere in the world. Key Insights:Diversify your investments. I've always believed in spreading your business interests across different industries. This way, if one area faces challenges, others can keep your overall business stable.teDelegate to experts. Hire experienced professionals to handle daily operations. This frees you up to focus on strategic decisions and big-picture growth instead of wasting your time on small tasks. Prioritize recurring revenue. Look for businesses with steady, recurring revenue. This ensures a reliable cash flow and helps your business stay resilient.Do your homework. Always visit and verify business operations in person before making any big decisions. This ensures you're getting exactly what you expect.Avoid depending on key individuals. Structure your business so that its success isn't tied to one person. This makes transitions smoother and reduces risk of making your operations stuck because someone isn't there. Bakari's best advice for entrepreneurs:"As an investor, it's important to be on location to see the business and evaluate it. [...] You really need to come there and make sure that the operations actually exist, that somebody's not selling you a business that actually is not there."Connect with Bakari Akil:LinkedInInstagramYouTubeFollow Beyond 8 Figures:LinkedInXWebsite

Will the world ever embrace Kentucky bourbon the way it embraces Scotch whiskey? We chat about that a bit on this week's Access Louisville podcast.Bourbon Reporter Stephen P. Schmidt is on the show with news that Buffalo Trace is opening an attraction in London, England.
