Texas decided January should belong to scale modelers, and we're not arguing. We map out two can't‑miss events—Model Fiesta in New Braunfels and Winter Blitz in College Station—so you can plan builds, book time, and show up ready. From streamlined online registration to judging formats that respect your effort and schedule, this is a practical guide wrapped in pure hobby energy.We start with Model Fiesta on January 3, hosted by the Alamo Chapter, where clear rules, posted scoring sheets, and an open gold‑silver‑bronze system set a fair stage. Display‑only builders get real love too, with sponsor‑selected special awards that include a Cold War theme, People's Choice, aerospace, vehicles, sci‑fi, and more. The vendor hall is nearly full—about 140 tables—so expect plenty of aftermarket, kits, and tools, plus a handy location with food nearby. The website makes everything simple: download forms, pay online, and walk in ready.ModelFiesta Then we head to Winter Blitz on January 24 at the Museum of the American GI, a venue where restored Shermans and half‑tracks share space with your entries. It's armor‑centric, fast, and focused: doors at nine, judging by noon, medals on the table, and a short ceremony spotlighting 16 Best Of categories and the sponsors who make it happen. This year's theme celebrates military support vehicles, and the Tank of the Year target is the 38T in any variant—bring your Hetzer or Marder and go for it. New categories—Brown water Navy, Landing Craft, Helicopters, a P‑47 challenge, and MaschinenKrieger—open the door for more builders without diluting the armor vibe. There's a Friday soft open for early drop‑off and a group dinner at Tad's Louisiana Cooking to turn logistics into community.We also talk Hall of Fame honors for past Best of Show winners, vendors, and a weather policy that keeps the show on unless ice shuts the roads. If you've been looking for a reason to finish that support truck, dust off a 38T, or finally paint a P‑47, January in Texas is your cue.

I used to believe that pushing harder was the only way to win. Harder workouts. Longer days. Zero excuses. But at some point, that mindset stops working. In this episode, I sit down with Robin Long, founder of Lindywell, to talk about what actually creates sustainable results in your body, your business, and your life. We dive into why high achievers burn out when they ignore their nervous system, how Pilates builds real strength without depletion, and why doing less with more intention leads to more energy, better workouts, and stronger momentum in every area of life.

You cannot receive an opportunity your mind isn't structured to metabolize. Until your thinking changes, your external opportunities cannot: https://m.masteryinsights.com/application. If you are ready to expand your psychological capacity to hold bigger opportunities, speak with a trusted advisor on Dr. Grace's team. Mental Metabolism is a neuro-strategic framework that expands psychological capacity through two simultaneous processes: Mental Catabolism (breaking down outdated beliefs, narrow worldviews, and survival-based emotional patterns to release trapped cognitive energy) and Mental Anabolism (using that released energy to build expansive identity and psychological structures capable of holding bigger opportunities). This system is governed by the principle that the size of the opportunity you can attract depends directly on the size of the mind capable of metabolizing it. When you look at your current career trajectory, are you operating from an economy of scarcity (protecting what you have, avoiding risk, extracting value from relationships) or a psychology of expansion (building capacity, creating value, elevating others)?

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott explore why Autistic and ADHD people continue to face systemic discrimination when looking for work — even in industries that quietly depend on neurodivergent talent.Responding to recent reporting on neurodivergent employment discrimination, they share personal experiences of job interviews, disclosure, workplace bullying, infantilisation, and being punished for mistakes while their strengths are ignored. Jordan and Simon question whether disclosure is ever truly safe, and explain how fear, burnout, and past trauma — not lack of ability — keep capable people out of the workforce.They unpack the double bind many neurodivergent people face: judged for being unemployed, then discriminated against again when trying to work, and highlight the irony that creative, technical, and production industries are built on neurodivergent skills, while the people providing that labour remain undervalued and excluded.They discuss:Why do autistic and ADHD people struggle to get hired despite being capable?The risks and realities of disclosing neurodivergence at workInfantilisation, stigma, and being defined by mistakesWorkplace culture, office politics, and unspoken biasHow burnout and mistreatment create a genuine fear of employmentWhy neurodivergent-friendly workplaces should be the default“Nothing about us without us” in hiring, policy, and workplace designA raw, angry, and deeply validating conversation about work, worth, and why neurodivergent people aren't locked out of employment because they can't work — but because the system refuses to change.Our Sponsors:

What if one lending policy could change how much you can borrow, when you can borrow and even whether you stay in residential or move into commercial property sooner than planned? APRA's new Debt to Income cap is coming, and in this episode we break down exactly what it means for home buyers, investors and anyone building a property portfolio in Australia. I'm joined by my personal finance and business broker, Charles Zerafa from Integrity Finance, who lifts the lid on how banks assess risk, how lending appetites shift behind the scenes and why this new DTI policy could reshape borrowing capacity for years to come. Whether you're stretching for your next investment, planning your first home purchase or thinking about diversifying into commercial property, this episode gives you the insider playbook you won't hear from your bank. In this episode we cover • What APRA's new DTI cap actually is, why it's being introduced and who it impacts most • How banks decide which loans to approve, what they consider high risk and why timing your application matters • How investors may reach their borrowing limits sooner and why more people could shift into commercial property • Smart ways to structure loans across multiple lenders to maximise borrowing capacity • The real world impact on home buyers, first time investors, and mixed residential commercial portfolios If you're into commercial property investing, personal finance, residential lending strategy or building a portfolio the smart way, this is a must listen.

For partnership inquiries, please reach out to info@newmoneynate.com Why does Gen Z get labeled as lazy when the data shows they're working harder than ever? This video breaks down the real economic forces shaping Gen Z's work ethic and why younger workers are grinding harder than Boomers realize. From rising housing costs and student debt to job instability, automation, and constant reskilling, Gen Z entered the workforce in a fundamentally different economy. Using real labor market data, economic history, and a story-driven lens, this video explains why Gen Z has no choice but to work relentlessly just to achieve basic stability. We explore how inflation, wage stagnation, disappearing entry-level jobs, and declining employer loyalty reshaped what “hard work” looks like today — and why older generations often misinterpret modern work behaviors like job hopping, remote work, and side hustles. This is a deep dive into generational economics, work ethic myths, and how the modern labor market rewards adaptability over tenure. If you're interested in Gen Z vs Boomers, work ethic debates, the future of work, labor economics, generational wealth gaps, or why young workers feel burned out despite working nonstop, this video connects the dots.

In this episode of Correct Opinions, Trey, Katie, and Derek dive into love languages, with a heavy focus on words of affirmation—why some people desperately need them, why others struggle to give them, and how that disconnect plays out in marriage, friendships, and even stand-up comedy. From Christmas gifts that are just compliments, to cringey praise, to the realization that love is often shown in ways we don't naturally receive, this turns into an unexpectedly honest (and funny) relationship counseling session. Plus, Christmas cards, touring thoughts, insurance rants, and a few bonus correct opinions to wrap it all up.

Knee pain is one of the most common issues runners deal with — and also one of the most misunderstood.In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Kameron Harder (DPT) of Ridge Athletics to break down why knee injuries happen in runners, how to treat them correctly, and what you can do right now to prevent them from coming back.We specifically dive into the two most common knee issues runners face:Runner's Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome)IT Band SyndromeIf you've ever dealt with pain around the kneecap, sharp pain on the outside of the knee, or been told to “just stop running,” this episode will completely change how you think about knee injuries.In this episode, we cover:Whether running is actually bad for your knees (and what the research really says)Why knee pain is usually a signal, not an injuryThe biggest mistakes runners make when treating knee painWhy strength training — not rest — is often the missing pieceThe role your hips play in both runner's knee and IT band issuesWhat you can run through safely vs. when you should modify trainingWhy foam rolling your IT band doesn't work (and what to do instead)How to prevent knee pain from becoming a recurring cycleThis is the first episode in a monthly injury-prevention series designed to help runners stay healthy, consistent, and durable — so you can keep training and racing without constantly being sidelined.If knee pain has ever limited your running — or you want to make sure it never does — this episode is a must-listen.SHOW NOTES:Register for our race, The Desert Peak Ultra 100K + 50K at desertpeakultra.comWant to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?

Anika and Liz attend a four-day Klingon bachelor party -- where the feats of strength include somehow NOT developing a time machine to go back to 1997 and fight the entire DS9 writers room for Jadzia's honour. Yes, our wedding series has brought us to Star Trek: Deep Space 9's "You Are Cordially Invited", and we have ... questions. Concerns. Loud protests. And that's just Anika's cats! Both this and "Data's Day" were written by Ronald D. Moore, and we are trying not to read too much into anything This is an episode about Dax rejecting the Klingon gender binary and being punished and publicly humiliated for it, including by her friends Not a single character is changed by the events of this episode, except Jadzia, who learns an important lesson about tolerating abuse (it's good and she should do it) Complaining that there are no TNG characters at Worf's wedding is a lot more fun than talking about all the ways the script throws Jadzia under the bus … so we do both! Lieutenant Atoa, infidelity and using Polynesian people as props If Odo has this "instinct for justice", why doesn't it apply to facing consequences for his own wrongs? Giving Avery Brooks a line telling Terry Farrell to suck it up and kiss the boots of a racist, xenophobic asshole is … a choice. A REAL choice. Justice for all the Daxes (except Curzon, who is actually the reason some of the Daxes deserve justice)

In this episode, Jon and Adam tackle two difficult questions golfers wrestle with all the time. First, they dig into why trying not to think about your score often backfires - and how understanding scoring ranges, perspective, and better mental “redirects” can quiet the obsession without pretending it doesn't exist. Then they break down the real pros and cons of online versus in-person lessons, including when remote coaching can actually outperform local instruction.

A surprising theme ran through the last part of our year: when modelers stop chasing perfect and start building what they truly love, everything clicks. Your letters proved it. We heard from builders paring down stashes, organizing tools, and finally tackling “someday” subjects with less guilt and more momentum. That energy shaped our own workbenches too—methodical planning, smarter jigs, and reliable materials turned tricky steps into repeatable wins. Think KV-85 intake screens built with a custom jig, CA used with intention, Mr. Surfacer and thinner cleaning up seams before weathering could ruin them, and decals that go down right the first time.We also talk practical stash strategy. New kits will always tempt us, so here's what works: trade up when the upgrade arrives, and keep a short list of builds you can actually start. We've locked in a tight plan for 2026: an early jet like the Meteor F.1, a buddy build of the HE 162, a quirky Panzerwerfer 42 on the Maultier, and a focused approach to finishing what's already close. Along the way we share community hacks you'll use tomorrow—holographic craft vinyl for prismatic optics, ultra-thin PLA paper alternatives, and the magic of a simple paint inventory app that removes friction at decision time.We wrestle with do-overs too. When is it worth rebuilding a past project, and when should the lesson travel to a new subject? The answer depends on joy. If a vignette still speaks to you, rebuild it with better kits and skills. If not, apply the learning forward and keep moving. That mindset powered our favorite listener stories this year, from club exhibition formats to seeing a dusty stash kit reborn by a friend. It's the community at its best—sharing tips, swapping kits, and cheering each other to the finish line.If you're in a dark time, start small. Fifteen minutes on oil weathering, a single jigged subassembly, a quick decal session with a brand you trust. Momentum beats perfection every time.

Rabbi Manis Friedman On Let's get Real with Coach Menachem, Sunday December 14, 2025#253Why Did God Make My Life So Much Harder Than Everyone Else's?The Real Reason Behind Your Pain, Anxiety &Unique Struggles
You follow Demetri Papanicolau's winding path from Fidelity financial consultant to full-time booking agent and working musician, discovering how taking risks, saying yes to scary gigs, and learning from every stage moment shaped his career. You hear how singing AC/DC and Zeppelin in high school, drilling Beatles harmonies, and navigating the evolution from originals to covers built the chops he still relies on today. As you ride through stories of surprise band formations, COVID-era pivots, and the birth of Rotten Apple, you're reminded that you must Always Be Performing, even when the gig you expected turns into something entirely different. You also step inside Demetri's world at Notso Costley Productions, where booking is equal parts diplomacy, coaching, and reading the room. He breaks down what venues actually want, what musicians consistently get wrong, and how reliability wins more than draw. You learn how he balances the needs of solos, duos, trios, and full bands; why non-verbal communication and a good hang matter; how to build an EPK that gets you on a roster; and what happens when rates rise across the scene. Through it all, Demetri shows how being both booker and performer lets him guide bands and venues toward smoother nights, stronger partnerships, and gigs that keep everyone coming back. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 512 – Monday, December 15th, 2025 December 15th: National Cupcake Day Guest co-host: Demetri Papanicolau from Notso Costley Productions NAMM coming up!

Deovrat Kajwadkar is the Director of Strategic Deal Pricing and Monetization at Google Cloud, where he sits at the center of some of the most complex commercial decisions in modern tech. With a background in management consulting at McKinsey and deep experience in cloud and AI monetization, Deovrat brings a rare inside view of how pricing actually works when products are platforms, costs are dynamic, and value is constantly evolving. In this conversation, Deovrat and Mark Stiving unpack why pricing is not just a "number-setting" function but the grade of how well everything else in the business is working. They explore the difference between platforms and solutions, why value-based pricing becomes harder as offerings become more flexible, and how AI is changing both how pricing is done and what pricing even means. Why You Have to Check Out Today's Podcast: Learn why pricing sits at the heart of cloud and AI economics, touching product, strategy, sales, and profitability all at once. Understand how platforms, solutions, and AI fundamentally change value-based pricing, and why cost, competition, and outcomes all matter—at different layers of the stack. Discover why "pulling the dollar lever" is the most expensive move, and what smarter pricing leaders focus on first. "Pulling the dollar lever is easy—but it's also very expensive. I'd rather pull every other lever first." — Deovrat Kajwadkar Topics Covered: 01:40 – Cloud Pricing as a Central Role. Deovrat explains why pricing sits at the center of Google Cloud's commercial decisions—connecting product strategy, growth, profitability, and customer value. 05:09 – Cloud Computing for Enterprises. A clear, non-technical explanation of cloud computing for enterprise customers, from infrastructure and platforms to software and AI—and why pricing each layer is different. 08:48 – Value-Based Pricing Challenges. Mark and Deovrat discuss why value-based pricing is especially difficult for platforms, where customers use the same products in very different ways. 13:04 – Value-Based Pricing Strategies. A practical framework for pricing across the cloud stack: cost- and competition-based pricing at the lower layers, and outcome-driven pricing as offerings move closer to customer solutions. 18:10 – AI's Impact on Pricing Strategies. How AI is changing pricing on multiple fronts—what gets priced, how costs behave, and how quickly products and value propositions evolve. 22:34 – AI in Pricing Strategies. Deovrat breaks down how AI can support pricing decisions, from customer analysis and renewals to analytics and decision support—while stressing the importance of clean data foundations. 24:12 – AI Value Delivery Challenges. Why delivering real AI value is harder than building the technology itself, and how change management and business adoption affect pricing and monetization. 27:30 – Pricing Advice for Business Impact. Deovrat's closing advice: great pricing leaders expand their skill set beyond pricing fundamentals—and pull every lever before resorting to raising prices. Key Takeaways: "Pricing touches almost everything—it's the heart of a company's economics." — Deovrat Kajwadkar "The more commoditized the offering, the more cost and competition matter." — Deovrat Kajwadkar "As you move closer to business outcomes, value-based pricing becomes possible—but harder." — Deovrat Kajwadkar "AI changes pricing, but it doesn't eliminate the fundamentals." — Deovrat Kajwadkar People / Resources Mentioned: Google Cloud – Cloud platform spanning infrastructure, AI models, developer tools, and industry solutions.

You are the guy everyone counts on. You provide the solutions, you carry the load, and you get the job done. But if you are honest about the mechanics of your life right now, you aren't "hustling." You are overheating. In this episode, we break down the concept of "Red-Lining." This isn't about failing. It's about the hard-working man who runs his internal RPMs at 100% all day, every day—at work and at home—until the block cracks. We discuss why the old strategy of "just push through" stops working when the pressure gets this high, and why trying to out-work a physiological problem is a guaranteed way to burn out. In this episode, we cover: The Red-Line Definition: Why you can be "winning" on paper - life looks solid on the outside - but mechanically failing under the surface. The Physics of Burnout: Why this is an engine problem, not a mindset problem. The Cost of "Yes": How being the "Reliable Guy" is actually draining your tank. The Fix: Why you need a System Upgrade, not just a holiday.
In this episode, Josiah Mackenzie sits down with Agnelo Fernandes, CEO of Cote Hospitality, to explore the career journey and leadership philosophy behind one of hospitality's most human-centered executives. Agnelo reflects on his unconventional path from finance into hospitality, the micro-moments that shaped his belief in empathy and servant leadership, and why fulfillment—not titles or compensation—has kept him committed to the industry. The conversation also dives into practical lessons from his rise to CEO, including leading from any seat, slowing down to listen, and solving problems with conviction. This episode is a thoughtful reminder of why hospitality matters—and what it takes to lead with both discipline and soul. A few more resources: If you're new to Hospitality Daily, start here.

Quinn Hughes is headed to Minnesota, and the ripple effects are massive. Ryan and James react to one of the biggest trades of the season, unpacking why Vancouver finally moved their franchise defenseman, how the Wild went all-in, and why this move fundamentally reshapes the Central Division playoff race.

My goal in this episode is for you to walk away knowing your ideal deep dopamine habits. Those little things you do that make you feel fulfilled and happy and like you are making progress in the ways that you want to. You know that feeling after you've been on your phone for 45 minutes scrolling or flipping through tabs and you look up and feel kind of empty? Like your brain is tired but you didn't actually do anything? That's cheap dopamine. It's the quick hit. The fast fix. The thing that feels good in the moment but leaves you drained and unfocused. Now imagine the opposite. You go for a walk, lift weights, write something meaningful, finish a book, or work on something that's important to you. It's not flashy. It doesn't give you the instant rush. But it gives you something way better… calm, clarity, and long-term satisfaction. That's deep dopamine. And today we're talking all about how to stop chasing the quick hits and start training your brain to love the good stuff. I could not do this without planning my weeks every Sunday… I physically couldn't! Here's the system I created & use & love! To plan your days and your life with intention… https://howtobeawesomeateverything.com/pages/2-0weeklyhabitsandplanningsystem What Dopamine Really Is Dopamine is a neurotransmitter. It's often labeled as the pleasure chemical, but it's more about motivation and drive. It plays a key role in what gets your attention and what keeps you engaged. Every time your brain anticipates a reward, dopamine is involved. It's what makes you chase something, whether that's a cookie, a workout, a new follower, or a big goal. It's not the dopamine itself that's the problem. It's where you're getting it from and how often. If you constantly flood your brain with quick and easy sources of dopamine, you make it harder to get motivated for the slower, more meaningful things. Andrew Huberman explains it this way: dopamine is not about the pursuit of happiness, it is about the happiness of pursuit. He also teaches that dopamine is a currency. We are always spending it, and when we use it on things that require no effort, we get very little return. But when we invest it in things like a hard workout or a creative project, the return is stronger and lasts longer. He emphasizes that dopamine is what drives us to act, to seek, to pursue… it is not simply about feeling good. It's about staying in forward motion. What Is Cheap Dopamine Cheap dopamine comes from fast, easy sources that take very little effort and offer very little reward long term. Some examples of cheap dopamine: Scrolling social media Watching endless TikToks or YouTube videos Snacking out of boredom Clicking for likes or notifications Gossiping or complaining Online shopping for things you don't need Checking your phone over and over without purpose These things feel good in the moment, but often leave you feeling worse later. It's like junk food for your brain… sweet, salty, addictive, and ultimately unfulfilling. Studies show that excessive exposure to short-form content or fast dopamine triggers can lead to decreased attention span, mental fatigue, emotional numbness, and a decreased ability to feel reward from slower, more meaningful tasks. Huberman also talks about dopamine stacking... when you stack multiple sources of cheap dopamine together, like scrolling while snacking while listening to background noise. This overstimulates the reward system and makes it harder for your brain to enjoy simple or quiet activities. You become desensitized, and what used to bring joy now feels flat. That's the cost of too much cheap dopamine. What Is Deep Dopamine Deep dopamine is the kind of reward your brain gets from actions that require effort, presence, or skill. It builds over time and leads to a longer-lasting sense of fulfillment. Examples of deep dopamine: Strength training or physical exercise Reading a book Writing or creating something Deep, uninterrupted work Learning a new skill Spending intentional time with people you love Completing a long project Volunteering or contributing in a meaningful way These habits take more focus and often feel slower, but they leave you with a sense of momentum and pride. You don't crash after them. You build from them. When you choose deep dopamine, you're making a longer-term investment in your mental clarity, emotional resilience, and sense of purpose. You start feeling calm instead of anxious, proud instead of overstimulated, and you strengthen your ability to focus and follow through. Huberman explains that deep dopamine is often tied to effort. It's the system that rewards you after doing something hard, not something convenient. And that's what makes it powerful. The satisfaction comes from knowing you earned it. Why This Matters The more often you go for quick, cheap dopamine, the more your brain becomes desensitized to it. Over time, you stop getting the same hit from a scroll or a like, and your baseline dopamine levels drop. It's harder to feel motivated. Harder to feel joy. Harder to stay focused. You might feel like you need constant stimulation to avoid feeling bored or anxious. But when you flip that script and start choosing deep dopamine more often, your brain rebalances. You regain your ability to enjoy slow progress. You stop needing quick distractions and start enjoying the quiet confidence that comes from doing things that matter to you. Research shows that daily engagement in physical activity, creative work, or focused learning helps restore natural dopamine cycles, improve mental clarity, reduce stress, and increase emotional stability. Huberman explains that one of the fastest ways to rebalance your dopamine system is to temporarily reduce cheap dopamine triggers and replace them with effort-based rewards... even small ones. The shift doesn't require massive lifestyle changes. It starts with awareness, then small swaps, and finally momentum. How to Train Yourself to Choose Deep Dopamine Recognize the patterns. When you feel the urge to scroll, pause and ask yourself what you're looking for. Are you bored? Anxious? Trying to avoid something else? Replace, don't just remove. If you're going to stop scrolling, have something better ready. A walk. A good podcast. A book. A 10-minute workout. Make a plan ahead of time. Don't wait until you're tired and distracted to decide what matters. That's when the cheap dopamine wins. Give yourself permission to enjoy effort. Deep dopamine often comes with friction. It's not always fun in the beginning, but the payoff is real and lasting. Set up your environment to support better choices. Turn off notifications. Put your phone in another room. Put your workout clothes or journal somewhere visible. Celebrate your wins. When you choose deep dopamine over cheap dopamine, take a second to notice how it feels. Reinforce that feeling. Huberman reminds us that the brain changes based on what it's exposed to regularly. Choosing deep dopamine isn't about perfection. It's about consistently reminding your brain what fulfillment actually feels like. The world is full of cheap dopamine. It's built into our apps, our habits, and even our conversations. But you don't have to live in reaction mode. You can train your brain to want the things that give you long-term growth and peace instead of short-term distraction. Start by noticing. Then start swapping. Choose things that challenge you, ground you, stretch you, and make you proud. It won't always be easier in the moment, but it will always be more fulfilling. That's how you create a life that actually feels good to live... one deep dopamine choice at a time.
In this bonus episode of Banking on Fraudology, powered by Safeguard , Hailey Windham talks with Ben Graf, a self-taught AI expert in the neobank space. Ben embodies the spirit of curiosity and courage driving the next wave of fraud-fighting transformation.The conversation dives into what it really looks like to learn AI from the ground up, emphasizing that the future of fraud prevention isn't about replacing people, but empowering them through technology.Key Takeaways: AI, Innovation, and Fraud-Fighting EmpowermentUsing AI to Learn AI: Ben explains how he used varying LLM chats (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) as a coach or mentor, experimenting for hours to understand their capabilities, consistency, and how to effectively prompt them.This approach helped him translate technical language and practices (like data analysis, SQL, and JavaScript) into actionable knowledge for his team, breaking down communication barriers.The hardest part was knowing where to start, but the key was realizing that "something is better than nothing" and compounding knowledge quickly breaks down barriers.Practical AI Applications for Eliminating Busy Work: AI should be used to make teams more efficient and help professionals focus strategically.Automating Document Verification: AI can use OCR to pull data, flag inconsistencies, and serve up summaries for identity, business, and income documents, which are often the most time-consuming parts of a review.Data Retrieval and System Silos: AI can help team members write their own SQL queries to retrieve data from data warehouses, dramatically reducing requests to the data team.Product and Feature Proposals: AI tools can mock up full dashboard concepts and even provide code snippets to give engineers a visual and break down communication barriers between fraud and technical teams.The Power of Empowerment and Buy-In: Leadership should create a culture where fraud fighters are empowered to explore and innovate.The magic of time savings lies in filling the time freed from "busy work" (like false positives) with new, high-impact tasks, whether that's cost savings in fraud loss or better customer retention.Teams are advised to keep proprietary or PII information out of the loop and find safe spaces to explore, remembering that everyone is still figuring out what AI can do.Get in the mood of being grateful for the fraud-fighting community, and be reminded of how strong the fraud-fighting community truly is.
