Who Gets to Define the Next Generation? Gen Z Finds Its Voice—and Its Anchor—in Christ Is Gen Z lost in the noise of culture, media, and politics—or are they quietly forging a radical new path of faith? In this powerful episode, Catherine sits down with high school senior and gifted poet Charis Shoemaker to explore how today’s young Christians are wrestling with identity, truth, and calling in an ever-fractured world. If you wonder what the next generation truly believes, and how Christian parents can encourage their kids to pursue God in the midst of cultural chaos, this is an episode you cannot afford to miss. About Our Guest:Charis Shoemaker is no ordinary teenager. A state award-winning actress, an eloquent poet, and—most importantly—a passionate follower of Christ, she represents a new wave of young believers speaking up for authentic faith. Charis’ original poem, “They Say,” recently brought a packed house to their feet at her homeschool graduation, voicing the hopes and struggles of a generation determined to follow Christ—no matter the cost. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: Gen Z Under the MicroscopeListen as Charis shares firsthand what it’s like to grow up constantly defined—often unfairly—by societal labels, politics, and the relentless barrage of social media. In an era of fractured opinions, what do young people really hear about who or what they’re supposed to be? The Power of Godly InfluenceCharis opens up about her own journey, including profound family challenges and the steady faith of her mother, a night-shift nurse who made time for Scripture and prayer no matter how hard life got. Her story testifies to the quiet resilience that shapes faith behind the scenes. A Poetic Anthem for Gen ZHear Charis' captivating poem, “They Say,” in full. Her words challenge generational stereotypes and culture’s attempts to define identity—while serving as an anthem for those who choose to be defined not by people, but by the voice of God. “If my life is to revolve around opinions, I would much rather they come from a God who is preeminent than a people who are insignificant... I would much rather they be words spoken by the Word who became flesh for me.” – Charis Shoemaker, 19:15 Dealing with Church Hurt and PainCharis recounts personal battles—including abuse and disappointment with the Church—and how those wounds could have derailed her faith. Yet, she found hope, healing, and her truest identity in Jesus. Parents will find wisdom here for helping kids process pain with grace rather than anger or withdrawal. Who Gets to Define Us?The conversation zeroes in on the theme of authority, urging listeners to ask tough questions: Is our identity determined by culture, by the Church, by ourselves—or solely by God, the Creator who names us and calls us His own? Hope Rising in Gen ZContrary to stereotypes, Charis reveals that a growing number of her peers are returning to church and hungry for real, unfiltered truth. She challenges parents not to underestimate Gen Z's capacity—and desire—for deep faith, and encourages both generations to risk bold, loving conversations about what matters most. “There’s a generation coming up after you that wants truth…Be there for us. Give us that thing to hold on to.” – Charis Shoemaker, 53:38 Why This Matters:In a season when so much is said about the failures and fears of the next generation, this episode highlights a surprising undercurrent: Gen Z isn’t just walking away—they’re wrestling, seeking, and often returning to the God who defines them. Catherine and Charis Shoemaker’s honest exchange offers hope to every parent praying for their child’s faith journey. Memorable Moments: The story of Charis Shoemaker's friend whose final words were simply, “Trust Jesus”—a moving reminder of the enduring legacy of authentic faith (35:33). An inspiring encounter with a peer who worships “mother earth” and how open conversation sows seeds of truth and friendship (52:53). The recognition that every generation faces labels, but the only voice that matters is God’s. Modern Application:Christian parents, take heart! The next generation is listening, watching, and longing for truth—especially from you. Your example, prayers, and honest conversations matter more than ever. As you foster their search for identity, remember: God alone must anchor our children in a world desperate to define them. Call to Action:How are you helping your children—or the young people in your life—listen to God’s voice above all others? This week, try having an open conversation about identity and faith at home. Share your own story, and invite them to share theirs—uncut, unfiltered, and real.

From warnings of a graduate jobs crisis to predictions that artificial intelligence will reshape the profession, law students are being bombarded with reasons to worry about their future. But one recent law graduate says much of the alarm is nothing more than "fear mongering" – and believes the outlook for aspiring lawyers is far brighter than many headlines suggest. In a recent episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Grace Robbie speaks with Sai Muthukumar, a paralegal with Gilbert + Tobin and the Attorney-General's Department, about the recent headlines suggesting law graduates are struggling to secure entry-level roles, argues that much of the narrative is "fear mongering", and explains why aspiring lawyers should remain confident despite the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and technological disruption. Muthukumar also explores the growing legal technology skills gap among law graduates, calls on law schools to better equip students with practical legal tech skills, urges aspiring lawyers to take the initiative to upskill themselves, explains why human skills are becoming more valuable for young lawyers to possess than ever in an AI-driven profession, and encourages law students to make the most of their university experience, reminding them that building connections, gaining practical experience, and enjoying the journey are just as important as academic success.

Our diarist this week went from being a flat-broke uni student who could barely afford rent to paying off a $25,000 car loan on a graduate salary in less than a year. She built her emergency fund, started investing, got serious about her money and completely transformed her financial situation. But now there's a new problem. Every time she spends money, she feels guilty. We chat about moving away from home at 19, being the only person in her share house paying her own rent, paying off debt, building wealth in regional Australia, dating someone with four investment properties, and the surprising money mindset shift that came after getting her finances under control. Because sometimes getting good with money isn't the hard part. Sometimes it's learning how to enjoy it.

I am thrilled to sit down with a very special guest: Rachel Lien, a yarn shop owner from the Pacific Northwest who is officially graduating from the Inventory Genius Operating System Program this month! One year ago, Rachel found herself trapped on the classic retail hamster wheel. Despite bringing in massive revenue from a local yarn crawl event, the cash quickly vanished, leaving her with mounting credit card debt, zero clarity on where the money went, and a deep-seated fear of her own numbers. Tune in as we discuss her incredible transformation over the last 12 months. Rachel shares how shifting from blindly jumping in to establishing a fearless, weekly Money Mondays routine gave her total control over her business finances. We talk about ditching wishful thinking for concrete data, the pride that comes with stepping up as a true CEO, and how she is now confidently using numbers to evaluate a major retail expansion. If you've ever felt like your business is a sieve leaking cash, this episode will inspire you to look at the scary things, take action, and reclaim control of your inventory and profits. Key Takeaways Sales Don't Equal Profit: High-revenue events are great, but without a clear inventory strategy, that cash can disappear into a black hole of debt and over-purchasing. The Power of the Routine: Establishing a non-negotiable rhythm—like Money Mondays—to look at your numbers every single week eliminates the fear of the unknown. Data Backs the Dream: Wishful thinking is the spark that starts a business, but data is the fuel that makes major decisions (like expansions or moves) safe and sustainable. It's Not a Hobby: Operating a retail business with financial discipline moves you away from playing store and into building a long-term asset that supports your community. Memorable Quotes "I didn't want to feel like I was standing in a sieve. There were leaks everywhere, and I didn't know where the money was going. I wanted to make the money and be able to decide what to do with it." — Rachel Lien "The wishful thinking was the spark, and then the data is the actual thing that's gonna back up the decision." — Rachel Lien "Even if you're scared—especially if you're scared—you need to take action.

Would You Hire Your Own Graduate?

For episode 182, we go back nearly two years for an encore presentation of our very first One-Year Garage game. These episodes have been very popular since, and we'll have a fresh one coming up soon!Alex, Randy, and Zac Try a New Thing: game time! The One-Year Garage requires them to pick one car from a certain model year for each of five categories: Sports Car, Family Hauler, Truck/4x4, Daily Driver, and Wild Card. They make up the rules as they go, and along the way discuss local trivia about The Graduate; a two-tone requirement for Randy's future car collection; whether it's necessary to remember the names of one's offspring; dieting to fit in your diminutive daily driver; a little-known fact about the '67 Mustang; an episode-long argument [you're both right! -Ed.]; a heated debate about what constitutes a sports car [you're all right! -Ed.]; how said definition relates to the owner's heart health; and the undying question, "how wild is wild?"We want to know: What five cars are on your list? Why are our picks stupid? What did we forget about in our race to pick perfection? Let us know in the comments!Follow along!

In this episode of the Getting Smart Podcast, Shawnee Caruthers sits down with Dr. Whitney Oakley, superintendent of Guilford County Schools, to explore the Guilford Guarantee—a bold district commitment that every graduate leaves high school with college credit, an industry-recognized credential, or a meaningful work-based learning experience. The conversation highlights what it takes to build real-world learning at scale, from family and student listening to employer partnerships, advising systems, and cross-sector alignment. Dr. Oakley shares how Guilford County is turning a promise into a sustainable strategy for equity, access, and future-ready pathways for all learners.

Britain should stop taxing workers and start taxing robots, according to the chief executive of one of the country's biggest recruitment firms, who says the UK's tax system is pointing in entirely the wrong direction at the worst possible moment.James Reed, CEO of Reed Recruitment, told the Big Boss Interview that the government is taxing employers who hire young people "to pick up beer glasses in gardens" whilst letting AI and automation — the technologies actively replacing those workers — go entirely untaxed. His mantra: "Back humans, tax robots." And he wants the next prime minister and chancellor to make it the centrepiece of a wholesale redesign of how Britain raises revenue.Reed argues this is not a fringe idea but an inevitability. "Taxation follows wealth," he said. "When you see these companies being valued at over a trillion, that's where the action is. So that's where the taxation should follow." He envisions transaction-based levies on AI services and automation — "rather like VAT" — or surcharges on businesses that replace human workers with machines. He acknowledged it would "take some designing" but said the principle is simple: the robots are generating the wealth, so the robots should be taxed.The urgency, he said, is driven by the collision of two forces. The first is the October 2024 budget, which Reed described as a "historic mistake." The £25 billion employers' National Insurance increase was, in his words, "a tax on jobs" that caused clients to cancel hiring within a week and has driven businesses towards automation and offshoring at precisely the moment AI makes both easier than ever. The second force is AI itself. Reed warned it is "burning through entry-level jobs," destroying opportunities for young people at a pace the country is not prepared for. He said Britain is behaving like "rabbits looking into the headlights" of these changes, with no collective strategy for what happens when the jobs disappear — and with them, the income tax, employees' National Insurance and employers' National Insurance that fund public services.Reed was unequivocal about the political response required. Asked whether there should be a new chancellor, he said: "Yes, absolutely. The incumbent made the decisions that caused the damage." He called the current period one of the toughest in his 30 years as chief executive, ranking alongside the financial crisis of 2008 and the early days of the pandemic — but worse in one respect. "In 2008 and 2020, there was a sense that we need to sort this out. I don't see that at the moment."The consequences are already visible in the data. Vacancy numbers on reed.co.uk have been in decline for three years. National statistics show vacancies have fallen from over a million to around 700,000 — fewer than before the pandemic. But it is the graduate jobs market that tells the starkest story. Graduate vacancies on Reed's platform have collapsed from 180,000 to 50,000 in four years, and are still falling. The hardest-hit group is 21 to 25-year-olds, many of whom emerged from university with degrees that have, in Reed's words, "no currency out there in the world."This led Reed to question the value of university itself. He said many graduates feel "mis-sold," that apprentices in their early twenties are now "way ahead" of their university-educated peers, and that the idea of half the country's young people attending university is "very outdated." Britain, he said, has been "ridiculously snobby about trades" — which he believes are the jobs of the future. He proposed a "three-lane superhighway" in which a third of school leavers go to university, a third do apprenticeships, and a third go straight into work with a short-term employer subsidy to help them get started.Presenter: Sean Farrington Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor Henry JonesImage Courtesy of Reed Recruitment03:05 A real moment of opportunity and good opportunity for a reset. 04:18 The need for a new Chancellor 10:25 The need to change course on taxation around jobs 12:05 AI is burning through entry-level jobs 13:09 One of the toughest periods since 2008 (the financial crisis) 13:47 Back humans, tax robots 23:03 Is University still worth it? 35:40 Applicants being ghosted by employers 41:00 Spelling mistakes on CVs now positively sought after 44:01 Big tech companies need to pay more tax: "back humans, tax robots" pt 2

If you would also like to build the new page here is a paragraph to describe the podcast: In this inspiring conversation with Dr. Jen Derse, hosted by Stuart and Steve Anderson, listeners get a candid look at how a small-town Wisconsin kid, “band geek,” and self-proclaimed “Jenergy” machine built a thriving career in cosmetic dentistry—and then had to reinvent herself when she could no longer practice clinically. Jen shares practical, immediately usable insights on leadership, culture, and case acceptance: how to bring patients into collaborative treatment planning, motivate teams through tiny gains and big celebrations, empower staff to design the systems they use, and weave “doing good” (like humanitarian trips and Smiles for Life) into the fabric of a practice so it builds trust and loyalty. Dentists and teams will walk away with a renewed vision of what it means to be a maker, not a taker, fresh language to communicate more clearly and compassionately, and concrete ideas to strengthen their practice culture, patient relationships, and personal resilience.   A few highlights worth mentioning: Founder and former Chief Clinical Director of Espire Dental, helping grow it into a large multi-location organization. Nationally and internationally recognized speaker, educator, mentor, and consultant. Mentor at the Kois Center and educator for dentists around the world. Graduate of Marquette University School of Dentistry with advanced leadership training through Harvard Business School Online, McKinsey Leadership Academy, and The Ritz-Carlton Leadership Center. Founder of the Espiration Foundation, providing care and support to underserved populations in the Dominican Republic and Guatemala. Recently transitioned from full-time executive leadership to focus on what she loves most: mentoring, coaching, consulting, and teaching.

Send Us a Message!A middle school classroom can feel like a storm of emotions, hormones, and stories and that's before we even get to the hard parts of history. Our guest, public school educator and Soul Rising graduate Lola Reddy, shares the real behind-the-scenes work that helps her stay steady: daily Reiki, clear energetic boundaries, and the kind of deep healing that changes how you respond when life is lifing. We talk about what drew Lola into Soul Rising during a major personal transition and why “self-work first” isn't a slogan, it's survival for caretakers, parents, and empaths. Lola breaks down her simple morning Reiki routine (breath, chakra focus, intention, and a protective bubble) and explains the difference it makes in patience, clarity, and classroom culture. We also explore somatic movement, matriarchal lineage support, and shamanic journeying that doesn't require perfect visuals to be powerful. Then Lola shares unforgettable moments of synchronicity: a Fire Horse journey that later mirrors a real tunnel-to-light experience, Lunar New Year symbols appearing in ordinary life, and a power animal story that moves through fear, grief, and surprising support. We also go into what it means to teach slavery, lynching, and discrimination truthfully while protecting students' emotional wellness, and why mentorship and community matter when you're doing spiritual growth without the guru model. If you're craving grounded spirituality, practical energy hygiene, and a path back to self-sourced wisdom, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share this with a teacher or empath in your life, and leave a review so more people can find the work. Lola asks that if you enjoyed this episode, please consider donating to Foot Soldiers Park to preserve Selma history at https://footsoldierspark.org/donate/If you are interesting in joining Shantel Ochoa for Soul Contract & Alchemizing Archetypes Masterclass, learn more here: https://moonrisinginstitute.circle.so/c/soul-contracts-archetypes/Moon Rising Shamanic Institute Links:Website: https://moonrisinginstitute.com/Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/moonrisinginstituteFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/moonrisingmysticsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/moonrising.instituteYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@moonrisinginstituteSubscribe to the Newsletter: https://moonrisinginstitute.kit.com/spiritguideBook a session with Christine: https://calendly.com/christinerenee/90-minutes-intensiveBook a FREE 10 minute connect call with Christine: https://calendly.com/christinerenee/10-minute-connect-call-srpt

8a program graduation can completely change a small business's pipeline overnight, and most contractors don't see it coming until it's too late. In this episode, a construction company owner walks through how he built a $16 billion backlog of IDIQ contracts before hitting the $250 million 8a cap, what happened to his sole source work once he graduated, and how he later sold the company entirely. If you're a government contractor watching your 8a clock run out, this episode shows you exactly how to prepare. Key takeaways from this episode include: How one company went from $15 million to $75 million in sole source work in a single year right before graduating the 8a program Why bidding every MAC, MATOC, and IDIQ construction contract before graduation built a $16 billion pipeline that lasted nine more years How buying out the company in 2012 and selling it to a Philadelphia engineering firm in 2015 turned years of sole source work into a major exit How running 8a construction divisions for the Miami Nation and the Spokane Tribe took one company from $2 million to $350 million in annual revenue Why $10 to $15 million projects became the sweet spot for steady profit, fast turnaround, and manageable risk for a small prime contractor EPISODE CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Introducing Mindy the AI research assistant for contractors 0:30 - Welcome to the Federal Help Center podcast 0:56 - Growing sole source work to 75 million dollars 1:33 - Hitting the 250 million dollar 8a program cap 1:56 - Building a 16 billion dollar IDIQ contract pipeline 2:47 - Buying and selling the construction company after graduation 5:09 - Building construction divisions for tribal 8a companies 8:54 - Finding the ideal project size for steady profit   Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I discuss one of the most significant recent changes to graduate education financing: the end of Graduate PLUS loans and what this means for prospective and current graduate students. Drawing from years of experience supporting first-generation and BIPOC students through graduate admissions and funding decisions, I explain how this policy change may affect master's, PhD, and professional degree students and why understanding the true cost of graduate school matters now more than ever. I walk you through several funding scenarios, clarify common misconceptions about grad school loans, and share the questions every student should ask before accepting an offer of admission. Throughout the episode, I highlight the hidden curriculum of graduate school financing and offer practical strategies to help you make informed decisions about borrowing, funding gaps, and long-term financial planning. In this episode, you will learn: How the elimination of Graduate PLUS loans may affect master's, PhD, and professional degree students Why graduate student loans are typically unsubsidized and how interest accrual works How to calculate the full cost of attendance beyond tuition alone What funding gaps to identify before committing to a graduate program Which questions to ask financial aid offices about funding, loan disbursement, and support programs How to compare graduate school offers with greater financial clarity and confidence Work with me If you're applying to graduate school and want support evaluating funding offers, understanding financial aid packages, or making informed admissions decisions, learn more about my graduate admissions consulting services at https://gradschoolfemtoring.com/consulting Free resource Download your Grad School Femtoring Resource Kit: https://gradschoolfemtoring.com/kit/ Explore more Listen to more episodes on Financial Literacy and Grad Funding: https://gradschoolfemtoring.com/podcast_catergory/financial-literacy-and-grad-funding/ Support the podcast with a one-time or monthly donation: https://donate.stripe.com/bJedR8dGRcs6ewGdwq38401 Access transcripts and additional resources: https://gradschoolfemtoring.com/podcast/ Audio and transcript edited by Yessi Sanchez: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yessisanchez/ This podcast is a proud member of the Genuina Media network.

Growth requires gratitude. But it also requires movement. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why outgrowing a mentor, mastermind, or coaching program is a natural part of leveling up in business. Let's be real… The person who helped you reach your first level… May not be the same person who can guide you to the next one. And that does not mean they failed you. It means the season changed. In this episode, you'll learn: Why different levels require different mentors How staying in the wrong room too long can slow your growth Why graduating from a mentor should be done with gratitude, not guilt How upgrading your circle resets your hunger and expands your vision The truth is simple: You cannot stay in the same room forever just because that room once helped you grow. At some point… You may know the answers. You may be the highest performer. You may no longer be challenged. And when that happens, the next move is not disrespect. It is elevation. High-level operators audit their environment constantly. They honor the people who helped them start. They take the lessons. They leave with class. And they step into rooms where they are once again surrounded by giants. Because growth requires humility. It requires courage. It requires the willingness to become a student again. Graduate with gratitude. Upgrade the room. Find the next mountain. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

About Ivan Van NormanIvan Van Norman is a true powerhouse of indie tabletop publishing and media innovation, bringing over 15 years of deep industry expertise to the table. Our paths cross all the way back to the very first year Gen Con introduced Entrepreneur's Alley, where our tiny 10x10 booths were literally shoved into the back corner of the convention hall, facing a wall right next to the food court. While I was out there hawking the first print run of Ascension, Ivan was launching Hunters Entertainment. Since then, Ivan has carved out an incredible track record, serving as an executive producer and host at Geek & Sundry during the wild dawn of the web-streaming boom, helping lay the early foundational blocks for massive cultural phenomena like Critical Role, and co-owning Hunters Entertainment. He's the publisher behind brilliant, boundary-pushing projects like the silent, text-messaging RPG Alice Is Missing. In this episode, we discuss the brutal realities of transitioning from a broke creator to a successful studio owner, how shifting mediums completely transform the mechanics of storytelling, and why your graveyard of discarded ideas is secretly your greatest design asset.Ah-ha! Justin's Takeaways* Everybody Prepares You for Failure, Nobody Prepares You for Success: When you're broke and just starting out, you are completely free to take massive risks because you have absolutely nothing to lose. However, the moment an indie project hits it big, the landscape completely flips. Ivan shares a wild reality check about running his first hit Kickstarter as a sole proprietor and suddenly getting hit with a massive personal tax bill he didn't see coming. Success brings structural obligations to payroll, to investors, and to an audience that wants you to repeat your tricks.* The Medium is the Mechanic: If you want your creative stories to break through the modern cultural noise, you have to design explicitly for the technology where your audience actually lives. Felicia Day and Geek & Sundry did it by leveraging the wild west of early YouTube and Twitch to unlock long-form TTRPG streaming. Alice Is Missing did it by turning a standard smartphone group text into an intensely emotional narrative engine. During our chat, Ivan's insights actually inspired me start work on a brand-new design concept right at the table: how to build an ultra-short-form video RPG engineered entirely for Shorts, Reels, and Twitch.* Less Money Equals More Radical Execution: Starting out broke right out of college gives you a massive, counterintuitive edge, because without a cash cushion, you are forced into a level of radical execution you just can't fake. Ivan and I launched right in a brutal recession, building display tables out of inventory boxes and dragging ammo cans down the hot streets of Indianapolis. That said, the real secret to surviving over the long haul as a serial entrepreneur is a beautiful touch of amnesia. We are naturally wired to avoid pain, and if you perfectly remembered the bone-deep exhaustion and near-failures of a launch, you'd never take a big risk again. You need that selective memory loss to trick yourself into thinking "this next launch will be smooth" just to find the sheer audacity to stand at the starting line again. It acts as a psychological shock absorber, wiping away the baggage of past failures so you can always approach a blank sheet of paper with total confidence. This is a public episode.

What if success wasn't measured by titles, status, or income alone? What if true success was measured by fulfillment, purpose, compassion, presence, and the impact we leave on others? In this special Doulagivers Graduate Spotlight episode, we are honored to introduce Yasmeen Fatima—author, Certified Doulagiver, and a beautiful example of what becomes possible when we follow the quiet calling of the heart. Yasmeen completed her Doulagivers training in 2020 and has since dedicated her work to one of the most tender and sacred spaces imaginable: supporting children and families facing grief, loss, and end-of-life experiences. Suzanne recently had the opportunity to meet Yasmin in person while speaking at a conference in Guatemala, and the connection was a powerful reminder that this work transcends borders, languages, and cultures. It is a universal calling to show up for one another in our most vulnerable moments. In this heartfelt conversation, Yasmeen shares how the Doulagivers training transformed not only her professional path, but her life itself. She speaks about the courage it takes to follow your purpose, the unexpected gifts that emerge when you do, and why supporting children through grief is some of the most meaningful work she has ever known. As an author, Yasmeen has also created beautiful resources to support families navigating loss, including her book Heaven Starts Here: A Children's Guide to Grief—a compassionate and much-needed guide that helps children understand, process, and move through grief with love and support. This episode is part of our ongoing Doulagivers Graduate Spotlight Series, where we celebrate graduates who are bringing the teachings of compassion, community care, sacred dying, sacred grieving, and sacred living into the world in unique and powerful ways. Because success today is being redefined. Success is living in alignment with your values. Success is sharing your gifts. Success is answering the call to serve. Success is leaving the world a little better than you found it. And Yasmeen Fatima is doing exactly that.

AI Ready: Ahmad Ghabboun Ahmad Ghabboun built a Demo Day–winning AI product during his MSIS program — after arriving with no plans to work in AI at all. He breaks down how his mindset shifted, how his design background made him a stronger prompter, and how to build AI fluency that actually holds up in interviews. Useful for students and early-career professionals trying to get AI-ready without faking it. Ahmad Ghabboun is a Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS) 2026 Graduate at the UW Foster School of Business. Before Foster, he spent roughly fifteen years in UX and product design, building web applications for startups. At Foster he built several generative-AI tools in his coursework, including Synapse, which won Best Business and Tech Product at the MSIS Demo Day. He is targeting product management and technical product roles. What you'll learn Why naming the specific AI model you use — and justifying it — matters more in interviews than saying "I use AI" How a design background translates into sharper, more technical prompts How to keep a human in the loop so AI assists your judgment instead of replacing it Why AI's tendency to agree with you makes human and second-model pushback essential How to stay current with fast-moving tools without trying to learn everything The difference between a productivity mindset and a learning mindset in school Key moments The third-quarter AI classes that moved AI from "not on my list" to his career focus The origin of Synapse: manually juggling answers across Gemini, Claude, and a third model How Synapse runs a dual-model validation and a judge step to flag gaps for technical PMs Why interview proctoring now detects AI use — and what a "perfect" AI answer signals to interviewers Ethan Mollick's "jagged edge" and why it shifts with every model release Resources mentioned Lovable; Replit; Gemini; Claude; ChatGPT; Jira; Azure DevOps; GitHub; Ethan Mollick's "jagged frontier" of AI capability.

Hyatt tells investors to stop counting rooms and start counting fees, arguing that “empty calorie” growth is the wrong metric. But the panel digs into the contradiction: the premium story is Park Hyatt, Andaz, Thompson, and Alila — while the actual growth engine may be Essentials, all-inclusives, and credit card economics. Translation: hotel companies are increasingly distribution platforms, loyalty machines, and maybe even banks. Then Hilton's Undergraduate by Hilton gets a second look. The name still gets roasted, but the strategy starts to make sense: college towns are wildly underserved, Graduate doesn't pencil everywhere, and tired select-service boxes are begging for conversion. The question is whether this is lifestyle innovation — or just another brand solving an owner pipeline problem. The guys also react to Sonder co-founder Francis Davidson's new AI travel startup, Odessia, and debate whether dedicated AI travel agents can win when ChatGPT and Claude already own so much user context. That leads into a bigger conversation about trust, human travel advisors, preference passports, and why overwhelmed travelers may want fewer options — not more. Finally, Minor Hotels makes the case for “asset-right” hospitality, arguing that brands need more skin in the game if they want owner trust. The crew closes with DMs, celebrity hotel speculation, World Cup demand anxiety, and Ben teasing a possible conversion-brand play of his own. This Week in Hospitality is presented to you by Journey. Journey is a loyalty platform built specifically for independent boutique hotels and high-touch hospitality brands. Our mission is to give operators the same powerful rewards engine, data intelligence, and guest insights that major chains rely on — without asking them to give up the individuality, soul, or story that makes their property extraordinary.

Most FDN trainees believe they need to wait until they graduate before they can start getting clients. According to Jenn Malecha, that's one of the biggest mistakes new practitioners make. In this episode of the Health Detective Podcast, Michele Scarlet sits down with Jenn Malecha to reveal how FDN Practitioners, Health Coaches, and Functional Health Practitioners can begin building a client waitlist long before certification is complete. One of the most common fears among new practitioners is not knowing where their first clients will come from. Jenn breaks down a practical, step-by-step approach to building visibility, creating trust, and generating interest while you're still working through your Practitioner Training. Rather than waiting until graduation, she explains how your own health journey, Functional Lab Testing experience, and personal transformation can become powerful tools for connection and client acquisition. Together, Michele and Jenn discuss how to naturally attract future clients through authentic conversations, referral relationships, community connections, and genuine enthusiasm for the work. They also explain why sales doesn't have to feel pushy or uncomfortable, and how discovery calls can help turn curiosity into committed clients. In this episode, you'll discover: How to build a client waitlist before certification Why most new practitioners wait too long to start marketing themselves How FDN Practitioners can use their own transformation story to build trust The difference between a client waitlist and an email list Simple ways to track potential clients without complicated software How referral partners can help grow your practice Why visibility and connection matter more than perfection The role of discovery calls, enrollment conversations, and client acquisition How to confidently transition from certification into practice Whether you're an FDN Practitioner, Health Coach, wellness entrepreneur, or someone preparing to launch a Functional Health practice, this episode offers actionable business strategies to help you gain momentum, attract your first clients, and build a thriving practice before you even graduate.

Montel Williams grew up in one of Baltimore's toughest neighborhoods. At 7 years old, a teacher tried to define him by the color of his skin. That day, he made a decision that shaped everything  no one else would ever own the definition of who he was.That mindset took him from the streets of Baltimore to the Naval Academy, from military intelligence to 17 years of daytime television with 100% creative control and through a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis he's been fighting for over 20 years.In this conversation, Moshe Popack sits down with Montel Williams to talk about discipline, faith, and what it really means to build a life on your own terms.Timestamp: 0:00 Growing Up in One of Baltimore's Toughest Neighborhoods3:30 The Belief He's Carried Since Childhood5:00 First African American to Graduate the Naval Academy Prep School7:00 How a Speaking Tour of 1.5M Kids Built a TV Empire9:00 100% Creative Control  Why the Show Lasted 17 Years10:00 The Real Reason Most People Never Know Who They Are11:30 What Fatherhood Actually Teaches You About Letting Go13:30 The MS Diagnosis and the Fight That Followed15:00 How to Reduce Inflammation and Take Control of Chronic Illness16:00 The Only Way Out Is Through  His New Project25:30 The Teacher Who Tried to Define Him in Second Grade27:00 What Montel Williams Wishes for the World
