Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Are you wondering how AI will really change the way agencies work? Will it replace your team, or make them better than ever? Artificial intelligence continues to be at the forefront of most tech conversations, and that's exactly why agency owners can't afford to ignore it. Today's guest believes the real future of AI in agencies isn't about replacement—it's about augmentation. Humans bring the high-leverage ideas, AI scales the execution, and the magic happens in the collaboration between the two. That's why he challenges his team to master a skill first—understanding every step—before delegating pieces of it to AI. By doing so, they not only achieve stronger results but also gain the ability to explain, teach, and refine the process. For agencies, this thoughtful integration turns AI from a threat into a powerful accelerator. Josh Payne is a serial entrepreneur and the founder of Coframe, which helps businesses continuously optimize their digital experiences. Before that, he co-founded Autograph, scaling it to unicorn status within just over a year, and previously sold his first company, AccessBell, to India's Tata Group. A Stanford AI researcher and occasional lecturer, Josh has blended tech, entrepreneurship, and big-name partnerships into a career full of lessons that agency owners can apply to their own journey. In this episode, we'll discuss: The power of just asking. Should we be worried about AI? Why the human element still wins. When AI shows empathy.

Ready to design faster and smarter? Go to wix.com/studio to get started. Building Big, Fast (and What Comes After) Josh's first exit was AccessBell, acquired by Tatai Group. Then came Autograph, the NFT platform co-founded with connections in the entertainment industry that quickly attracted celebrities and athletes like Tom Brady. The company went unicorn in about a year, proof that timing, partnerships, and execution can fuel explosive growth. But Josh is quick to admit that pace sets a dangerous bar. When he launched Coframe, progress felt slower. The natural question arises: why am I not going as fast as I did last time? For any agency owner who's had one “big win,” the fear of never matching that level again is real. For Josh, it comes down to stop chasing vanity metrics and focusing on the real value you're creating. The long burn, when tied to a larger vision, often builds a stronger foundation. The Power of Just Asking One of the best stories from Josh's Autograph journey was how Tom Brady got involved. It was a simple conversation, made possible because a co-founder's family knew Brady. They took a shot, asked for a call, and suddenly, an NFL legend wasn't just an investor—he was a co-founder. They were, of course, very lucky, but the lesson for Josh was that you'll never land your dream client (or partner) if you don't step up to bat. Too many agencies convince themselves certain clients are “out of reach,” when in reality, decision-makers are more approachable than you think. Even the busiest people have time for the right conversation if you show up as a person, not a pitch machine. Separating Yourself from Your Business Identity With all these exits, Josh is still struggling with the identity crisis that comes with selling or stepping away from a company. Like Jason back when he sold his agency, Josh felt like he'd sold his soul and is still wrestling with how to separate being a tech founder from just being Josh. Your business is not your identity, as performance coach Todd Herman (the guy behind Kobe Bryant's “Black Mamba” alter ego) helped Jason understand. You're not an “agency owner” by identity. You're a creator, innovator, and strategist. Those traits travel with you into whatever you do next. Lose the label, keep the essence. Fighting the Metrics Spiral Every agency owner knows the feeling: dashboards screaming that you're 30% down from last month, the creeping panic that you're “slipping.” Josh admits he's guilty of chasing these vanity metrics too, and it's exhausting. The problem is that short-term sprints cloud the long-term vision. But focusing only on the long-term isn't right either. You can't sit back dreaming and stop executing. Josh calls it a balance game. Some days require in-the-weeds execution. Other days call for pulling up to 30,000 feet and resetting the vision. And finding ways to get into that higher-level thinking state is crucial. Finding Flow and Big Picture Clarity One of Josh's surprising hacks for perspective is the float tank, a sensory deprivation chamber where you float weightless in silence. He describes it as being suspended between sleep and wakefulness, giving him the clarity to see the forest instead of the trees. For him, a float every couple of months resets his ability to think deeply. This lucid dreaming state allows him to consciously control his thought process, which is hard to do on a day-to-day basis. There are different ways to achieve this “flow state” like flying planes or running, where focus on the task at hand frees the brain to process ideas in the background. The lesson for agency owners is that you need intentional “out of the weeds” time. Whether it's floating, running, or flying, find your version of the float tank. Should We Be Worried About AI? Where is AI really going, and should agencies be worried? Josh approaches the subject with cautious optimism. He admits there are possible negative outcomes—whole essays have been written about the risks—but he believes society still has control of its destiny. Governance, adaptation, and human ingenuity will help us navigate the “intelligence explosion” ahead. For agency owners, that perspective matters. The fear-driven narrative (“AI will replace us all”) misses the more useful question: how do we adapt to stay ahead? Josh's view is that AI will become a force multiplier, but only for those who deeply understand their craft first. At Coframe, he leads his team with the mantra: “first we are artisans, then we are automators.” Josh encourages his team to master processes as humans before trying to automate them. An artisan, he says, is someone who not only performs a task with taste and skill but can also teach it to an apprentice. If you can teach it, you can usually train AI to do it too. This is a powerful framework for agencies. Too many people treat AI as a magic shortcut, asking it to “do the thing” without knowing what “the thing” really requires. But if you've built the human expertise first, AI becomes like a hyper-capable apprentice, great at code generation, design variations, or crunching vast amounts of data, but still lacking the higher-level strategy and creative ideation that only humans can bring. Why the Human Element Still Wins Lots of people are already trying to launch “AI-only agencies.” This is a mistake. Clients don't just want data or deliverables; they want connection, guidance, and trust. Even as AI accelerates execution, the human side, like the ability to understand a client, guide their decisions, and translate insights into strategy, remains irreplaceable. This is especially true when clients don't know what to ask. Tools may say, “Ask me anything,” but most business owners don't even know where to start. That's where the agency earns its keep: by framing the right questions and then leveraging AI to deliver smarter, faster answers. AI Limitations on Emotion and Empathy Empathy remains the most valuable and, so far, irreplaceable element that AI cannot afford clients, and where human intervention continues to be necessary. However, as these models get more and more aligned, clients are starting to see cases where the AI is able to show empathy for your situation. For instance, Jason recently tested AI with his own medical challenges. After foot surgery complications, he uploaded photos of his wound to an AI tool and was surprised at how sympathetic the responses felt. It wasn't just giving data—it was offering encouragement, warnings, and even emergency advice when he tested it with old images. Josh had his own example: experimenting with fasting while using AI to predict weight loss. The model gave estimates but also warned him about the risks and refused to encourage unsafe behavior. Modern models are being trained not just for accuracy but to reflect human values, to ensure they're aligned with human interests. Balancing AI Alignment With Performance This fine-tuning process with newer AI models makes them more positive and empathetic. But there's a trade-off: aligned models can lose some raw performance on benchmarks. For agencies, this means two things: AI tools will continue evolving in personality and usefulness. The best results will still come from humans who know how to wield them—pairing empathy, strategy, and creativity with AI's speed and scale.

What if stepping into a voting booth is less about freedom and more about forcing your will on your neighbor? Craig sits down with writer Jeb Smith to wrestle with a question many Christians and libertarians rarely stop to ask: Is voting consistent with the values we claim to hold? Jeb, author of Is Libertarianism Consistent with Voting?, argues that casting a ballot contradicts the very heart of libertarian “live and let live” principles. And for Christians, the stakes are even higher. Jesus never told us to hand power over our neighbors to Caesar. He called us to serve, not to rule. The conversation digs into how politics twists even kind and gentle people into something unrecognizable, why voting legitimizes a corrupt system built on coercion, and how stepping away from political participation might actually free us to love our neighbors better. As Jeb puts it, “Since I stopped voting, I get along with people much better, even those with completely different political opinions.” This isn't just another debate about left vs. right. It's a challenge to reimagine what it means to follow Christ in a world obsessed with power. Tune in, and ask yourself honestly: are you serving Christ when you pull that lever, or are you just baptizing Caesar's game with Christian language?  

Do you want to use AI without losing trust? What frameworks help build trust and manage AI responsibly?  Can we really create trust while using AI?In this episode of the FIT4PRIVACY Podcast, host Punit Bhatia and digital trust expert Mark Thomas explain how to govern and manage AI in ways that build real trust with customers, partners, and society.This episode breaks down what it means to use AI responsibly and how strong governance can help avoid risks. You'll also learn about key frameworks like the ISO 42001, the EU AI Act, and the World Economic Forum's Digital Trust Framework—and how they can guide your AI practices.Mark and Punit also talk about how organizational culture, company size, and leadership affect how AI is used—and how trust is built (or lost). They discuss real-world tips for making AI part of your existing business systems, and how to make decisions that are fair, explainable, and trustworthy.

Kevin Werbach interviews Karine Perset, Acting Head of the OECD's AI and Emerging Technology Division, about the global effort to shape responsible AI. Perset explains how the OECD—an intergovernmental organization with 38 member countries—has become a central forum for governments to cooperate on complex, interdependent challenges like AI. Since launching its AI foresight forum in 2016, the OECD has spearheaded two cornerstone initiatives: the OECD Recommendation on AI, the first intergovernmental standard adopted in 2019, and OECD.AI, a policy observatory that tracks global trends, policies, and metrics. Perset highlights the organization's unique role in convening evidence-based dialogue across governments, experts, and stakeholders worldwide. She describes the challenge of reconciling diverse national approaches while developing common tools, like a global incident-reporting framework and over 250 indicators that measure AI maturity across investment, research, infrastructure, and workforce skills. She underscores both the urgency and the opportunity: AI systems are diffusing rapidly across all sectors, powered by common algorithms that create shared risks. Without aligned safeguards and interoperable standards, countries risk repeating one another's mistakes. Yet if governments can coordinate, share data responsibly, and support one another's policy development, AI can strengthen economic resilience, innovation, and public trust. Karine Perset is the Acting Head of the OECD AI and Emerging Digital Technologies Division, where she oversees the OECD.AI Policy Observatory, the Global Partnership on AI (GPAI) & integrated network of experts as well as the OECD Global Forum on Emerging Technologies. She oversees the development of analysis, policies and tools inline with the OECD AI Principles. She also helps governments manage the opportunities and challenges that AI and emerging technologies raise for governments. Previously she was Advisor to ICANN's Governmental Advisory Committee and Counsellor of the OECD's Science, Technology and Industry Director. OECD.ai

"Either leave Africa alone or come with a sustainable business model in mind."Maya Horgan Famodu is the founder and CEO of Ingressive Capital, a venture capital fund focused on Africa. She raised over $10 million dollars for her first fund in 2020 and has since gone on to raise over $50 million for Fund 2. Maya wrote an article earlier this year called "The Hidden Benefits of Trump's Aid Policy for Africa" for the website TechCabal. Claude talks to her about how foreign aid encourages corruption, dependence, weak governance. And they discuss a different paradigm for Africa, one where investment fuels innovation, employment, self-reliance and some of the most successful start-ups the world will ever see.Plus: Why start-up founders would never join Boko Haram.

Membership | Donations | Spotify | YouTube | Apple PodcastsToday's guest Taryn Southern is someone I consider a master surfer of technological change: a fellow elder millennial, artist, creative technologist, strategist, and dancer in the liminal zones of high chop. She's better than I am at finding the pocket, has made a name for herself for riding some serious bombs, and seems to know precisely when to bail. Starting as an actor, Internet famous for being an early YouTube influencer and her album I Am AI, the first LP composed and produced with an LLM, she caught air at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2019 with the premier of her documentary I Am Human (co-directed with Elena Gaby), an intimate look at the lives of three people with implantable brain interfaces and the medical, ethical and societal implications.She's also produced an award-winning musical VR series for Google using Tiltbrush and Blocks, worked as Chief Storyteller for Blackrock Neurotech, minted the first song token on the Ethereum blockchain, spoken and consulted all over the world, operated as an angel investor, and survived breast cancer. In other words, she's just the person to teach you how to hang ten instead of duck diving under the next pounder. Let's drop in and grab the rail.

AI is everywhere in application security today — but instead of fixing the problem of false positives, it often makes the noise worse. In this first episode of AppSec Contradictions, Sean Martin explores why AI in application security is failing to deliver on its promises.False positives dominate AppSec programs, with analysts wasting time on irrelevant alerts, developers struggling with insecure AI-written code, and business leaders watching ROI erode. Industry experts like Forrester and Gartner warn that without strong governance, AI risks amplifying chaos instead of clarifying risk.This episode breaks down:• Why 70% of analyst time is wasted on false positives• How AI-generated code introduces new security risks• What “alert fatigue” means for developers, security teams, and business leaders• Why automating bad processes creates more noise, not less

In this episode, Lex speaks with Marcelo Ruiz de Olano, Co-Founder of KPK (Karpatkey), an on-chain asset management firm born out of Gnosis DAO. Marcelo recounts KPK's evolution from stewarding Gnosis's $1B treasury to advising on more than $2B for leading protocols like ENS, Balancer, and the Ethereum Foundation. The discussion dives into the mechanics of non-custodial treasury management - balancing governance, security, and risk - along with strategies across lending, liquidity provision, and stablecoin yields. Marcelo also shares why the rise of large Ethereum treasury companies could be a turning point for DeFi, injecting institutional-scale liquidity and potentially making ETH more liquid than Bitcoin. NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS:Origins and Scale of On-Chain Treasury ManagementKPK spun out of Gnosis DAO, which had one of the earliest and largest on-chain treasuries (~$1B). From there, KPK evolved into an independent manager now advising on over $2B of DAO and foundation treasuries (ENS, Balancer, Ethereum Foundation, etc.), pioneering non-custodial, fully on-chain asset management practices.Conservative, Mission-Driven Approach vs. Yield-ChasingUnlike many DeFi actors during “DeFi Summer,” KPK deliberately rejected risky high-yield strategies. Instead, they prioritized capital preservation and mission alignment—for example, ensuring ENS's treasury only supports Ethereum-strengthening initiatives (like minority client staking or avoiding centralization risks). This contrarian, values-driven approach built trust and positioned them as long-term stewards of DeFi treasuries.Transformative Potential of Ethereum Treasury CompaniesMarcelo highlights that emerging Ethereum treasury firms (similar to MicroStrategy's BTC play) could deploy $10B+ in ETH treasuries. A single such “mega whale” could inject unprecedented liquidity into DeFi—making ETH potentially more liquid than BTC, bootstrapping entire verticals (DEX liquidity, lending, insurance), and creating a flywheel where treasury strategies directly accelerate Ethereum's adoption and price stability. TOPICSKPK, Gnosis, Gnosis Safe, Balancer, Aave, Maker, Sky, Uniswap, Morpho, Ethereum Foundation, on-chain asset management, DAO, decentralized autonomous organization, treasury management, DeFi, tokenization, ETH, Ether, stablecoin, USDC ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

Trust at Scale: Security and Governance for Open Source Models // MLOps Podcast #338 with Hudson Buzby, Solutions Architect at JFrog.Appreciate JFrog for their support in bringing this blog to life.Join the Community: https://go.mlops.community/YTJoinInGet the newsletter: https://go.mlops.community/YTNewsletter// AbstractFor better or for worse, machine learning has traditionally escaped the gaze of security and infrastructure teams, operating outside traditional DevOps practices and not always adhering to organizations development or security standards. With the introduction of open source catalogs like HuggingFace and Ollama, a new standard has been established for locating, identifying, and deploying machine learning and AI models. But with this new standard comes a plethora of security, governance, and legal challenges that organizations need to address before they can comfortably allow developers to freely build and deploy ML/AI applications. In this conversation will discuss ways that enterprise scale organizations are addressing these challenges to safely and securely build these development environments. // BioHudson Buzby is a solution engineer with an emphasis on MLOps, LLMOps, Big Data, and Distributed Systems, leveraging his expertise to help organizations optimize their machine learning operations and large language model deployments.

PREVIEW: Kelly Currie HEADLINE: Indonesia's Governance Struggles: Democracy vs. Authoritarianism SUMMARY: Kelly Currie, former Ambassador to the United Nations, explains Indonesia's complex governance cycle, oscillating between authoritarianism and democracy. The nation, vast and ethnically diverse, struggles to govern its people, who desire dignity. A strong democratic identity, especially post-1999, ensures public pushback against extremes of anarchy or authoritarianism. MORE.

In Episode 92 of the Digital Velocity Podcast, Erik Martinez talks with Timothy Peterson—an executive leader with 25+ years across retail, e‑commerce, data, and operations—about how to integrate artificial intelligence thoughtfully and profitably. Drawing on roles from Bloomingdale's and Pottery Barn to CPG business intelligence and today's fractional CEO work, Timothy shares a pragmatic, cross‑industry view of what it really takes to make AI create business value.  Timothy highlights hyper‑personalization at scale as the standout opportunity: using hundreds of relevant data sources to tailor experiences that deepen engagement and drive growth. But he cautions that rushing in can erode trust—especially when AI replaces human judgment in customer service or when proprietary content is scraped into training sets without authorization. The takeaway for brand leaders is clear: protect your data, protect your customers, and don't let AI tools redefine your value proposition without intent.  To prioritize investments, Peterson lays out a simple sequence: first upskill people (think weekly lunch‑and‑learns, practical workshops, and targeted certifications), then pilot tools to learn what really moves the needle, and only then fund larger infrastructure. He also introduces “governance as a service,” ensuring responsibility for privacy, compliance, and ethics is shared across legal, marketing, and operations—rather than bolted onto a single role within the company. Clear accountability and measured rollout beat shiny‑object adoption every time.  For direct‑to‑consumer marketing leaders, the playbook is refreshingly grounded: personalize to lift conversion and LTV, document and simplify processes so AI augments what already works, narrow your focus to the channels and products that matter, and measure the impact on sentiment, conversion, lead flow, and revenue. Above all, stay adaptable and keep learning—the real competitive advantage isn't any one model or tool, but a culture that can turn new capability into sustained customer value.

Institutions and Public Policy for India's Sustainable Development – Perspectives on Governance, Technology, and Finance, is an edited volume in honour of Professor Vinod Vyasulu (Edited by – Sukhpal Singh, Jyotsna Jha, A. Indira and A. V. Arunkumar). The book addresses one of the most urgent challenges of our time – sustainable development. Across the globe economies are grappling with the combined pressures of climate change, inequality, and unsustainable growth. Basic needs remain unmet for large sections of the population, prompting a growing recognition that we must rethink how we define and pursue development. Sustainability is no longer a peripheral concern—it is central, complex, and evolving, requiring new approaches and frameworks. The book brings together diverse perspectives on the critical drivers of sustainable development, namely, governance through institutions, readiness through technology and accessibility to finance. While technology is often seen as a key enabler, its transformative potential depends deeply on the institutional and policy environment in which it is embedded. Institutions—formal and informal—shape development outcomes, and public policy plays a crucial role in aligning these efforts with sustainability goals. Focusing on the Indian context, the book event will have eminent panel members exploring the three interconnected themes of (1) Institutions and Development; (2) Technology and Innovation; and (3) Policy and Governance. In this episode of BIC Talks, Vinod Vyasulu, Ashwani Saith, Chiranjib Sen and Supriya Roy Chowdhury will be in conversation with Gurucharan Gollerkeri. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in Jun 2025. Subscribe to the BIC Talks Podcast on your favorite podcast app!

As AI adoption accelerates in financial services, governance leaders face the challenge of keeping oversight processes aligned with innovation. OneTrust provides data governance and risk management tools, serving over 14,000 customers worldwide across privacy, security, third-party, and AI domains. Traditional data governance models, often designed for structured databases, are not built to manage today's dynamic, unstructured AI workflows. Without clear frameworks, organizations risk compliance gaps, inconsistent oversight, and even internal conflict over ownership of AI decision-making. In this episode, Shane Wiggins, Director of Product at OneTrust, explores how enterprises can build governance models that not only mitigate risk but also support innovation. He explains why visibility into unstructured data is essential, how to align compliance and product teams through self-service governance, and the importance of making governance “invisible to developers but visible to auditors.” Wiggins also details best practices for staying ahead of regulatory change, from embedding flexible policies to creating system cards that clarify model purpose and limitations for clients. The discussion highlights how governance, when done right, can accelerate time to market, reduce compliance costs, and even create a competitive advantage.

Nearly a year ago, the IAPP expanded its mission in response to a rapidly changing digital environment to include AI governance, digital responsibility and cybersecurity law. The mission expansion took place a year after the IAPP hired Ashley Casovan to lead its first-ever AI Governance Center. Since then, Casovan has led the development of the center, which includes work helping to inform AI governance training and certification, a forthcoming AI governance textbook, and the AI Governance Global conferences.    Casovan came to the IAPP after leading the Responsible AI Institute as its executive director and previously worked for the Canadian government as director of data architecture and innovation.    She's currently drafting a skills competency framework for AI governance.    Situated in Montreal, Casovan trekked south to spend time at IAPP headquarters in Portsmouth, NH. While here, she and IAPP Editorial Director Jedidiah Bracy discussed the makings of an AI governance professional. What skills are required and what is she seeing in this evolving profession? Here's what she had to say. 

Nonprofit Sector Sees Positive Trends and AI Empowerment Amidst Challenges In this week's episode of the Nonprofit Newsfeed the duo delve into the latest updates and insights impacting the nonprofit world. Nonprofit Wellness Index Sees Positive Shift The episode kicks off with an encouraging update on the Nonprofit Wellness Index, which has reported its best month since inception. This index, tracking metrics like donation activity, ad spend, and job sector churn, showed a significant rebound from previous months, with notable increases in nonprofit job postings on platforms like Glassdoor and a rise in ad spending on Facebook. While some of this growth might be seasonal, the data suggests a positive trend for the sector, potentially signaling a more stable period ahead. Google for Nonprofits Expands AI Capabilities A major highlight is Google's expansion of its Nonprofits Workspace, now offering AI credits to organizations in the program. This includes access to powerful tools like Google Sheets, Gemini Notebook, and other AI-driven resources, providing nonprofits with high-value, cost-effective solutions. George emphasizes the importance of leveraging these free resources before investing in third-party tools, likening their value to the underutilized Google Ad Grant. Legal and Governance Challenges with ESG The conversation shifts to the complex landscape of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) policies, spotlighting a lawsuit by Texas against corporations implementing ESG practices. This legal pushback, fueled by conservative think tanks, highlights the contentious nature of ESG in corporate governance. Despite criticisms of ESG's broad metrics, George underscores the inevitable market forces that will drive sustainable practices, regardless of political opposition. Gender Equity in Nonprofit Leadership The episode also touches on the Candid 2025 Nonprofit Compensation Report, revealing persistent gender disparities in nonprofit leadership. Despite efforts towards DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), women remain underrepresented in CEO roles at large organizations, prompting ongoing discussions about achieving true equity in the sector.

In this episode of Reboot IT, host Dave Coriale, President of DelCor, sits down with fellow podcasters KiKi L'Italien (former EVP Marketing & Community), Joanna Pineda (CEO, Matrix Group), and Dave Will (Co-founder, PropFuel) to discuss why technology implementations often take longer than expected. From strategic misalignment and governance bottlenecks to emotional resistance and resource constraints, the group explores the underlying causes of slow change. Themes and Topics:The Emotional Impact of Letting GoKiKi shares her experience stepping away from Association Chat after 16 years, describing a mix of grief and relief.Joanna reflects on taking a break from LinkedIn during a personal loss and the surprising sense of freedom it brought.The group discusses how identity and purpose are often tied to long-term projects, making change psychologically difficult.Strategic Planning and Prioritization GapsAssociations often struggle to define clear strategic goals, making it hard to prioritize technology decisions.Lack of alignment on KPIs leads to confusion and stalled initiatives.Dave Will emphasizes that knowing what's important makes change easier and faster.Governance and Decision-Making BottlenecksToo many stakeholders involved in decisions leads to paralysis and delays.Joanna suggests sunsetting committees when strategic plans change to realign focus and authority.Leadership must clarify who owns decisions and avoid retroactive interference.Risk Aversion and Culture of CautionAssociations operate in a highly visible environment, making them more cautious about failure.Fear of public scrutiny and investing too early in emerging tech (like AI) slows down innovation.Dave Will notes that experimentation is often discouraged, even when it could lead to valuable breakthroughs.Leadership and Ownership Leadership must define clear goals and empower teams to make decisions without fear of being second-guessed.Joanna highlights the importance of psychological safety and trust in project ownership.Late-stage leadership involvement often derails progress and undermines team autonomy.Resource Constraints and Internal SilosMany associations lack internal tech expertise or project management capacity, leading to delays.Misunderstanding the need for internal PMs results in stalled implementations.Silos between departments (e.g., marketing, membership, IT) hinder collaboration and alignment.

'We get very angry when rain disrupts our lives and brings our cities to a halt, but by the time the elections come around, we have forgotten how angry we were. Rarely, if ever, do these urban failures or the corruption and political ineptitude that lead to them swing an election. We vote instead for caste, for religion or for some conception of national interest. Governance simply does not matter. Politicians know this. So even as we rage and vent as we have been doing over the last few weeks, they chuckle to themselves and go back to counting their money. In the old days, they would at least offer token apologies. Now they don't even bother to do that. They just announce that schools will close for two days or urge us to work from home. And we let them get away with it. So let's not blame politicians alone. Let's ask ourselves why we don't demand more accountability from them.' says Author & ThePrint Columnist Vir Sanghvi.

Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast from Florida to Louisiana in 2005 and is still the costliest disaster in U.S. history. New Orleans, a city resting below sea level, is uniquely dependent on engineering for its safety. On August 29th, nearly every defense seemed to fail, allowing storm surge to flood 80% of the city.  As terrible as the storm itself, arguably, were the human failures that contributed to what happened to New Orleans during and after Katrina—flaws in planning, infrastructure, governance, and social equity.  Yet change is possible. And in the intervening years, New Orleans has become known globally as a leader in preparedness, adaptation and recovery knowledge.  New Orleanians are weary of being praised for their resilience. In the past five years alone, the metro area has faced 17 federally declared national disasters—four times the national average. And the challenge of long-term adaptation can be especially overwhelming, especially at a time when consensus seems nearly impossible. But there is no substitute for New Orleans. Its people, environment, culture, and history add up to an inimitable home worth sustaining.  In this episode, longtime friend of Ten Across Jeff Hébert joins us to talk about the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina—the recovery process and the lessons in it that continue to resonate for the future of all our communities. Today, Jeff is chief executive officer for HR&A Advisors. In the years after Katrina, as a New Orleans native and urban planner, he served as a director with the Louisiana Recovery Authority and as a senior official in Mayor Mitch Landrieu's administration. He was also among the first chief resilience officers appointed under The Rockefeller Foundation's 100 Resilient Cities program.  Ten Across founder Duke Reiter talks with Jeff about how his experiences with the long game of adaptation and recovery in New Orleans and beyond have shaped his perspective and his work.  Relevant articles and resources  “Trump's former FEMA chief opens up — and says administration is ‘delaying' aid” (Politico, August 2025)   “20 years after Katrina, New Orleans' levees are sinking and short on money” (Grist, August 2025)   “Coastal communities restoring marshes, dunes, reefs to protect against rising seas and storm surges” (AP News, August 2025)   “Government to keep sharing key satellite data for hurricane forecasting despite planned cutoff” (AP News, July 2025)   “Forced to Move: An Analysis of Hurricane Katrina Movers” (U.S. Census Bureau, June 2011)   “Race, socioeconomic status, and return migration to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina” (Population and Environment, December 2009)  Related Ten Across Conversations podcasts   Katrina's 20th: Vann R.

Nonprofit Sector Sees Positive Trends and AI Empowerment Amidst Challenges In this week's episode of the Nonprofit Newsfeed the duo delve into the latest updates and insights impacting the nonprofit world. Nonprofit Wellness Index Sees Positive Shift The episode kicks off with an encouraging update on the Nonprofit Wellness Index, which has reported its best month since inception. This index, tracking metrics like donation activity, ad spend, and job sector churn, showed a significant rebound from previous months, with notable increases in nonprofit job postings on platforms like Glassdoor and a rise in ad spending on Facebook. While some of this growth might be seasonal, the data suggests a positive trend for the sector, potentially signaling a more stable period ahead. Google for Nonprofits Expands AI Capabilities A major highlight is Google's expansion of its Nonprofits Workspace, now offering AI credits to organizations in the program. This includes access to powerful tools like Google Sheets, Gemini Notebook, and other AI-driven resources, providing nonprofits with high-value, cost-effective solutions. George emphasizes the importance of leveraging these free resources before investing in third-party tools, likening their value to the underutilized Google Ad Grant. Legal and Governance Challenges with ESG The conversation shifts to the complex landscape of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) policies, spotlighting a lawsuit by Texas against corporations implementing ESG practices. This legal pushback, fueled by conservative think tanks, highlights the contentious nature of ESG in corporate governance. Despite criticisms of ESG's broad metrics, George underscores the inevitable market forces that will drive sustainable practices, regardless of political opposition. Gender Equity in Nonprofit Leadership The episode also touches on the Candid 2025 Nonprofit Compensation Report, revealing persistent gender disparities in nonprofit leadership. Despite efforts towards DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), women remain underrepresented in CEO roles at large organizations, prompting ongoing discussions about achieving true equity in the sector.

In this interview, Nathan Fitzsimmons of BTC Sessions speaks with Stefan Molyneux about the clash between anarchy and minarchy in the context of Bitcoin and government power. Molyneux critiques governmental authority based on the non-aggression principle and discusses the potential of decentralized currency to reduce corruption. The conversation emphasizes the significance of peaceful parenting and alternative dispute resolution through free market principles. They also address the looming economic crisis and the connections between Bitcoin, free will, and spirituality, while considering the role of AI in storytelling.

What are the challenges in interpreting ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) criteria? Why is governance considered distinct from environmental and social impact? How should uncertainty in climate science affect our policy choices? Are regulation and free markets really at odds, or can they be mutually reinforcing? How does economic growth generated by markets fund social programs and environmental protection? How does “publish or perish” culture shape scientific research and incentives? What psychological and neuroscientific evidence explains our tendency toward confirmation bias? Will LLMs exacerbate or mitigate cognitive traps? How do biases shape popular narratives about diversity and corporate purpose? How can we balance vivid stories with rigorous data to better understand the world?Alex Edmans FBA FAcSS is Professor of Finance at London Business School.
