Conservative Perspective Wins Because Plus When To Eat Karel Cast #205 Hispanics are starting to vote more conservative. Why? When it's clearly not in their best interest. Because that's the only message they are hearing because conservatives are buying up their media companies, radio and TV stations. So why don't progressives? Plus, Keto, Low Carb, Intermittent fasting, what and when should you eat? It's simpler than you think. And, make that call, now, or else risk what I did.

Benjamin Wittes, Editor-in-Chief of Lawfare and writer of the Substack Dog Shirt Daily, has been projecting Ukrainian messages onto the Russian Embassies in D.C., and throughout the world. The Russians have fought back, and Twitter, once an amplifier of these "Special Operations" has kicked Wittes off its platform. Plus, the stupid statements under oath that may have doomed Trump's Civil defense. And why would any Hispanic American want to fund reparations for African-Americans, a wealthier group than Hispanics?

These are truths tackled from the weekend. The mass shooting in Texas perpetrated by a man named Garcia has media suggesting he carried out the murders because of his white supremacist views. An NHL announcer makes a Lizzo joke during a broadcast that has some calling the black man a racist. Not kidding. Adam Coleman - author of "Black Victim to Black Victor" authored a piece in Newsweek that shreds the idea the subway death of homeless man Jordan Neely was racially motivated. And Mark Chenoweth of the New Civil Liberties Alliance discusses the legal fallout of virus-era mandates set to expire as well as the Biden threat to invoke the 14th Amendment to raise the debt ceiling without Congress.-For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShow See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are witnessing a great American gaslighting. When the media is saying the Allen, TX mall shooter is a Hispanic White Supremacist, the border currently getting invaded is actually closed, and Jordan Neely, a man with 42 prior arrests including attempted kidnapping and assault is a "beloved street performer" there's something terribly wrong. Producer Andrew steps in for Charlie to cover the truth behind these misleading headlines while providing a critical update on the Southern Border and the end of Title 42. He is also joined by Mark W. Smith to discuss his book "Unarmed" and why the left's arguments following any tragedy always fall short of addressing the root cause of gun crime.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Workshops and breakout sessions focused on various topics, including wellness and emotional intelligence, aligned with AAMI's mission to provide an integrated program model of academic, leadership, and life skills.

No disrespect to the Pew organization, but Reverend Samuel Rodriguez insists its numbers don't tell the whole story. Pew recently released its survey on the changing faith of Hispanics in the nation, the largest minority group in the United States. As of 2022, Pew shows that 43 percent of adults identify as Catholic, a drop of 24 percent from 2010. And the number of religiously unaffiliated rose to 30 percent, up from 10 percent in 2010. What's going on here? Rodriguez, the president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, the world's largest Christian Hispanic organization, says 'unaffiliated' in the Hispanic community does not mean not religious. The very opposite says Rodriguez: "We are a passionate Holy Spirit community, loving Jesus, either Catholic or evangelical or holding on to faith. And we don't like the term affiliation! There it is". On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Rodriguez has a lot more to say about the Pew survey, and also immigration, how Hispanics are voting Republican by nearly 45 percent, that they are pro-life, pro-family, and pro-traditional values when it comes to gender. Rodriguez has advised Presidents Bush, Obama, and Trump, and frequently consults with Congress advancing immigration and criminal justice reform. He can fill in the blanks left open by many a survey about the Hispanic community in America. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's Tuesday, April 18th, A.D. 2023.  This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nigeria most dangerous place on Earth The most dangerous place on Earth today for Christians is Nigeria in terms of loss of life. The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law recently released a report estimating that, in 2022 alone, over 5,000 Nigerian Christians were killed and over 3,000 were kidnapped.  Another 1,000 have been killed in just the last three months. Those carrying out these attacks and kidnappings are believed to be members of radical Islamic terror groups including the Fulani herdsmen, Boko Haram, and the Islamic State West Africa Province. The report also holds the Nigerian military responsible for some of the killings.  Somalia's drought And Somalia, Africa is in the grip of drought. The United Nations estimates that 48,000 have died of starvation-related causes in the last year.  The World Food Program has announced that 1.8 million children under five face acute malnutrition. Plus, Somalia is the second most anti-Christian, persecuting country in the world on Open Doors' World Watch List — second only to North Korea.  SNL alumnus, Victoria Jackson, opposes homosexual behavior Former Saturday Night Live comedian and actress Victoria Jackson chimed in for the public comment period in Franklin, Tennessee last week in opposition to a “Homosexual Pride” parade, reports The Christian Post. The public was airing concerns about past violations of the city's Community Decency Policy and state law. Jackson, an outspoken Christian who is persona non grata in the modern acting community, didn't pull any punches. JACKSON:  "God hates sodomy. He hates homosexuality. He said it's an abomination. God hates sexual immorality, all kinds — fornication, adultery, etc. “And God hates pride. One of the things He hates most is pride.  Proverbs 11:2 --  ‘When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.'”  Sadly, Franklin, Tennessee Mayor Ken Moore broke the tie vote of 4-4 to approve of the Homosexual Pride event.  Minneapolis approves 5 daily Islam calls to prayer over speakers Minneapolis, Minnesota will be the first major city in America to allow the Islam religion to dominate the city, by broadcasting religious announcements to prayer five times a day for all to hear —  from 5:30 am to 10:00 pm, reports The Star Tribune. The City Council unanimously approved this exception to the city's noise ordinance last Thursday. Movies featuring sexual immorality bomb at box office The two biggest money losers at the box office last year were Disney's grooming films for kids: Lightyear and Strange World. Deadline.com reports that Strange World lost a whopping $197.4 million and Lightyear lost another $106 million. Both movies relied on homosexual plot lines. Another Disney-produced film, Amsterdam, lost $108.4 million. A very bad year for Disney. Wrapping up the list of the biggest money losers for 2022 was Babylon — a film celebrating the Revelation 18 depiction of Babylon with its sexual decadence and homosexual perversions.  1 John 2:17 says, “The world passes away with its lusts thereof, but he who does the will of God abides forever.” Bible Society poll: 86% think America in moral decline And finally, an American Bible Society poll found that 86% of U.S. adults believe the nation is in moral decline.   The reasons given are various — 26% of this group blame the decline on “lack of positive parental involvement,” 23% attribute the moral decline to “negative influence of media, movies or music,” and another 16% say the problem is “unhealthy reliance on social media for information on current events.” Then, 14% percent blamed the problem on “low level of respect for the Bible as a guide for moral development,” and another 13% of adults say the problem is “negative influence of government leaders.” The American Bible Society also found that Bible use in America has dropped off precipitously in the last three years, from 50% to 39% of U.S. adults.  Also, Blacks and Hispanics are more likely to use the Bible than Whites and Asians. Psalm 36:1-3 speaks to the cause of moral decline. “Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart; there is no fear of God before his eyes. For he flatters himself in his own eyes that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.  The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit. He has ceased to act wisely and do good.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Tuesday, April 18th in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

"When you decide to do something, the universe conspires to help you."Most Latino parents coming to the States expect better living conditions and opportunities for themselves and their children. They believe it is the price they pay for leaving their beloved country, family, and friends behind. That belief puts much pressure on their kids, who must at least become lawyers, doctors, or engineers to make their parents' sacrifice worth it. But what happens when that child chooses a different path? In this episode, I'm delighted to be joined by the amazing Marlene Forte, the Cuban-American actress that changed how Hollywood sees and represent Hispanics in movies and TV. She played Ana de Armas' mom in Knives Out, Gail at The Way Back with Ben Affleck, Judge Medina on Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer, and Carla Juarez on ABC's The Rookie, among many others like Real Women Have Curves, A Haunted House, and Star Trek Reboot. Tune in to Episode 128 of Amiga, Handle Your Shit, and hear about Marlene's upbringing and her "late" start in acting, her parent's desire and pressure for her to become a lawyer, and their support when she decided to pursue her dreams in Hollywood. We also talk about her presence as an actress and producer in the Hispanic community in Hollywood, the challenges she faced as a Latina single mom, and more.

When your identity is in the wrong things, plus unique advice for Hispanic young adults, and concerns about Christians and romantic entertainment.Featured musical artist:   Covenant Worship  Roundtable: The Identity Traps of Work, Relationships and HobbiesWe all struggle with giving something we value too much influence over us. Whether it's our career, a relationship or a favorite hobby, anything we love can become a competitor with God for our time and affection. How can we find our identity in who God says we are instead of relying on people, experiences or acclaim to declare our worth? Our guests share their identity traps, how they put them in their proper place, and why they're learning to find joy in Christ.                  Culture: Reaching the Hispanic Community for ChristEsteban Porras grew up in church, watching his dad preach and seeing many in his community and beyond come to Christ. But as a young adult, he had to travel his own faith journey, and it was influenced by his cultural context growing up in Costa Rica. He recently got married, had a baby and moved to the United States to continue Christian ministry to the Hispanic community here. As an integral part of the Enfoque a la Familia team, Esteban has his finger on the pulse of faith and family among Hispanics worldwide. In this interview, he talks about what trends he's seeing among Spanish-speaking young adults, dating advice for them as they navigate unique family contexts, and how God is uniquely growing the faith of those in the Hispanic community.    Link to Enfoque a la FamiliaInbox: Romantic Entertainment and the ChristianWho doesn't love a good love story? In light of that, is it a wise or unwise thing for Christians to watch romantic movies and TV? Is enjoying them a sign that we're not being careful to guard our hearts? Lisa Anderson weighs in.

We cover the LinkedIn partner program on this week's episode of the LinkedIn ads show. Illiana Acosta Welcome to the LinkedIn Ads Show. Here's your host, AJ Wilcox. AJ Wilcox Hey there LinkedIn Ads fanatics, you've heard us talk about how we're an official LinkedIn partner. And you've probably used the tools of other partners to manage or report on your LinkedIn Ads initiatives. I met Illiana Acosta , who's one of the senior managers of the LinkedIn partner team at the B2Believe event that was in November. We talked all about that event on episode 79. And I thought it would be really interesting to bring her on and talk to her all about the program. Many of you have asked me what it takes to become a partner. So this episode is for you. First in the news, Jae Oh, who's head of ads measurement and audiences at LinkedIn. He wrote an article this month, called What's New With the Company Engagement report on LinkedIn. For those of you who don't know, there's this report that if you go and click on any of your audiences that our company list uploads, or sometimes we call them our ABM lists, if you click on that Companies list, it now takes you to this report called the company engagement report. And this is so cool. If you're advertising to a list of companies, now you can get all of this analytics and demographics information about who is actually engaging with your ads. It's way cool. Well, Jae talked about all the new updates that have happened to it. And I wanted to point out the things that I thought were really cool. First off, there's this company segmentation feature. So now you can dynamically prioritize the accounts that you're going after in certain campaigns, you can actually create a static list of here are the companies I want to go into which segment. But what's so exciting to me is the dynamic segmentation, where now you can say every day, I want LinkedIn to go to my list and go just for the companies that have the highest engagement. And let's show ads specifically to them. And you can have another segment, that's all about low engagement. So now with your campaigns, you can show different messages to companies that maybe aren't as engaged so we can try something new. The static segment is actually just a snapshot of the lowest engaged companies. And it's not going to change. We've linked to that article down in the show notes. So go give it a read and check it out. If that's interesting to you. I wanted to highlight a review left by Craig Sea. And that's the last name is S E. A. Craig says, "Very insightful and educational. I'm so happy I came across this podcast, I've learned a lot from it. Myself, being a beginner, started listening to this podcast. I've also started AJ's course, which is giving me a lot of confidence to get started running my own ads. Great podcast five stars from me." Craig, thanks so much for heeding the call and leaving that review. I'm so glad that couple of our resources could give you the confidence to begin advertising. You get five stars for me as well. Thanks, Craig. As a reminder, I want to feature you as well. If you haven't already left us a review, please do. And I'd love to give you a shout out. All right. Without further ado, we'll go ahead and jump right into the interview. Let's hit it. Illiana, I'm so excited to have you here. For those who don't know, Illiana is a senior manager on the LinkedIn ads business. She supports the LinkedIn Marketing Partners. She's also the Global Co Chair of the Latino ERG at LinkedIn. Illiana, thanks so much for being here. Illiana Acosta Thank you so much for having me. I appreciate the enthusiasm and welcoming me on your show. AJ Wilcox You and I actually just met at the B2Believe event not too long ago back in November. Yes. It was awesome to get to hang out with you get to know you a little bit. I was excited to have you on the show because obviously you know so much about this. So give us an introduction to yourself. Tell us about yourself anything that I may not have covered in the intro. Yeah. Well, I was Illiana Acosta Well, I was born on a Monday. Oh, wait, no, I won't go back that far. I have been with LinkedIn for about four and a half years and I have been supporting our channel sales business which is our LinkedIn marketing partners program since day one. So I've seen it since its let's call it infancy stages to now its teenage years where we are operating almost like a mid level startup, if you will, right. It's like this crazy, awesome, high growth team and business that's supporting so much of what we're doing in our ads business to grow our business, but more so ensure that we are driving value for our customers with our marketing partners. In addition to my day job in managing our enterprise partners ad tech team. I am also the global co chair, as you mentioned, our Hispanics of LinkedIn's Alliance ERG, which is really helping to pour into our Latino community within our LinkedIn doors, but also within the community at large. So I've been in that role for a couple of years now, I'm actually stepping away from the co chair role in a couple months and giving an opportunity to newcomers, which is a little bittersweet, but we've done incredible work. And I will continue investing in diversity, equity and inclusion in some way, shape or form within the organization. So really excited to be here. So thank you for having me. AJ Wilcox Very cool. I announced that you are part of the Latino ERG, we may have listeners who aren't part of large organizations who may not know about employee resource groups, can you share just a little bit about what these groups are? Why They Matter? Illiana Acosta Absolutely. Let's take a step back as an employee, right? Every single person experiences their tenure, if you will, with an organization in different ways, some more than others, some negatively, some positively. And so when we look at our workplace, we tend to say like, I want to go somewhere where I feel like I belong, or I want to make sure that people understand me, or that I'm seen and heard and valued in a way that I haven't before. And for that I need to find community. And so at LinkedIn, we have about 10 ERG is employee resource groups that go everywhere from Black, Latino, LGBTQ, plus the Asian community, veterans, etc, etc. There's so many incredible groups and communities that people can be a part of, as soon as they join the organization feel a complete sense of belonging as soon as they join day one, but also find people that they can relate to and build community with. And it's also an incredible opportunity for allies, to learn more about different communities and how they can be of support. Because at the end of the day, we spent so much of our time at work and working with individuals and colleagues. And all we want to make sure is that we're doing really great work for people who appreciate us who see us and understand that our differences are what makes us so unique and great together. AJ Wilcox I love that. All right. So switching gears here to your role there at LinkedIn, I would love to hear how you specifically are supporting advertisers, maybe those of us who are listening who may not already be LinkedIn partners. Illiana Acosta Yeah, absolutely. So our LinkedIn marketing partners, is a global community of qualified technology and service providers that help our customers, our marketers achieve more on LinkedIn, in simple terms, like on our own work about us, you know, we're great, but we're so much greater with our partners. With partners, everything is better, right? So if I can give an example. So today, customers are facing changing buyer behavior, right, for example, shifting to e-commerce, etc. There's growth in the tech landscape. We're seeing an increase in spending martech from advertisers. There is now more new and emerging channels, right? Like think about it, the average number of channels to make purchase decisions increased by 2x in the last five years. And so it makes marketers jobs that much more challenging to actually go get to their goals and objectives, right. And so our marketing partners, our LinkedIn marketing partners can help navigate and reduce some of these complexities. And so what my role is, it's really working with a team of great amazing high performers. And I lead a team that's working with our enterprise level partners. And those enterprise level partners are typically those partners that are working with our enterprise or global strategic accounts. So those bigger, bigger customers at LinkedIn. However, we have three different teams that support our channel business today. So we have our enterprise partners, which I just explained, are those bigger partners that are working with our biggest accounts, so enterprise and strategic accounts, then we have our skilled partners team that's led by my colleague, John Hall, who's total awesomeness in the West Coast. And he's working with these partners that are typically supporting our online sales or customers or small to mid level size customers. And then we also have our content partners, who are creating these custom content solutions and creative solutions that help enhance a customer's LinkedIn campaign on the platform. And that's led by my colleague, Ally Rash, who's based out in New York. And so we have a whole ecosystem of partners that can help customers address some of the marketing challenges that they have, not only for LinkedIn, but as a whole for their, you know, social media buying as a whole. And so these partners, regardless of their enterprise, or scale, what we classify them internally, they help customers save time, right? So that they have to go through a less of a manual process to set up or manage your campaigns. Like, seriously, can I get an amen for saving time? Amen. Right. I'm like, I love saving time, anything to make me operate more efficient, Sign me up. And so these partners allow marketers to do that. They also allow them to plan more accurately, or target for every stage of the funnel. And so now you can actually sync your marketing strategy, your campaigns optimizations across multiple channels, all within our partner platforms. And so when you're thinking about activating your ad campaign gains, you want to get the most out of every single dollar you're investing. And so they also allow for a more in depth understanding of the performance of your campaigns. So you can make better decisions, you can shift dollars, you can shift creatives, you can do things, and optimize on the fly and get so much more value out of your campaigns with LinkedIn, and across our marketing partners. AJ Wilcox So we obviously don't want to call out any specific partners. We don't want to give anyone a preferred treatment here. Can you tell us about what are some of the kinds of things that you can do through partners, I'm imagining some will help you create campaigns, some will help you optimize and manage some will help you report. What sort of categories am I missing? Illiana Acosta Yeah, there's a few categories. So one, there's a ton of value in using the partners just because, you know, they allow you to do so much more with us. Over 70% of customers today, with LinkedIn are already using one or more partners. And so everybody's coming to the party. And so they are tapping into a partner for planning. Right. So insights, helping you developing the right content and creating your campaigns, targeting the right audiences at scale. So planning, we have partners that support campaign execution and tracking. So whether that's page management or campaign management with LinkedIn, we also have partners that are supportive reporting and ROI. And lead gen, everybody loves a good lead gen campaign. And so there's so many ways that a partner is supporting customers needs. It just really depends on what are your goals and objectives, right, and let's start there. And then let's make sure that as a company, LinkedIn, we're doing everything possible to tap into our arsenal to address those challenges that you're having, but also allowing you to get to your goals and objectives. And sometimes that means, like, rockin out just with LinkedIn, right? But sometimes that also means tapping into a partner that can help you really elevate your campaigns and take your campaign further. AJ Wilcox I totally agree with that. Alright, so if I could, I would love to pull all of our listeners and ask them who is using a LinkedIn partner for their campaign management or for any part of it? But obviously, since we can't do that, I hear you correctly, you said 70% of LinkedIn advertisers are using a partner in one way or another? Illiana Acosta Yeah, over 70%. They're using one or more partners. In many cases, customers are using multiple partners for different use cases, right. And so one might be using a partner for reporting. Another one might be doing for lead gen, there's different use cases, everybody has their special sauce, you know, and so a marketer has the option to work with many partners in order to meet their campaign objectives and more so their marketing goals for the year for the quarter, whatever the case may be. And so yes, so a really good chunk of our customers are already using a partner for their LinkedIn campaigns today. AJ Wilcox Oh, yeah. All right. So this leads me to a really good question. How have you seen partners in one way or another elevate your customers LinkedIn campaigns? Illiana Acosta We're on a time constraint, so I can't even tell you all the stories. You know, again, I've been here four and a half years. So I've seen you know, across the gamut, small partners, large partners deliver so much value for our customers. And so if I think back to some recent real great wins, so we have metadata metadata, and I know we're not supposed to calling out but these are success stories, and you can find them on our hub. I'll give you the site later, but one of our partners metadata helped oyster with their full ABM strategy. And you know, we talked ABM at b2b believe in November, and so therefore, ABM strategy and execution of ad campaigns, I believe it resulted in 3x engagement rate on the campaign, and it's doubled their ROI in less than 12 months. And so I'm like, what is it that we did that right? It's like, okay, medicine is one of our enterprise level partners that one of my colleagues, managers, and then we have Zapier, who works with so many of our customers. It's like Zapier makes you happier, it's an inside joke on our team. But Zapier is real time. I know, it's so corny, but it's fun. They have a real time lead gen solution, and it worked with a customer harnessed.io to look at lead automation, and they were able to improve the accuracy by 99%. From campaign manager to market like huge Wow. And so it's kind of insane. And there's there's other stories of like, you know, teams have reduced their time by six hours per week. And while that might seem a lot take six times 52 weeks, like that's a lot of hours that you're saving a customer in managing their campaigns. Helping them operate more efficiently, helping them to do more with less especially now with this economic climate that, you know, we do have less resources, we may have less people. So how do you operate more efficiently when you're a brand that's activating 10, 20, 30, 100 campaigns in any given quarter? I would like to think that we're all super people, super women and men and people, but there's only so much we can do. So sometimes getting automated tools and tapping into the right tools more than anything, I think can make the biggest difference when you are executing your marketing campaigns with us. AJ Wilcox I totally agree with this. We've had several episodes in the past that are a partner product spotlight. So if anyone's ever curious, they can go back and listen to some of those spotlights we put on partners and different tools. But to your point about saving six hours a week, I just think of this as a marketer. Yeah, it's not a big deal to save six hours. But think about it. This is six, super mundane and monotonous hours that don't need to be spent, you can now go and spend that doing the really high value stuff, digging deep into the account finding opportunities for scale or decrease costs. So this really is a big deal. Yeah, we shouldn't be doing the mundane. Exactly. And Illiana Acosta Partners make it more accessible. They have scalable tools, it makes your day to day job a lot more simpler and more efficient. And you can spend more time doing the things that really, really require the most attention being more strategic. But you know, when it comes to like copy and pasting things, right, like that, sometimes it's a really long time, if you're managing multiple, multiple campaigns. So how can we collectively LinkedIn and our partners help to increase customer value, like, that's really why I'm even on this team and in this business. I want to help drive value, and I want to help make a difference, and how people are operating every single day. On our own, again, I mentioned, we're great, you know, we have amazing tools. But sometimes our customers need more access to different tools that our partners provide. And with our partners, they can do things simpler and more efficient, like day parting and auto optimization rules, and add flighting, and management, and creative optimizations and all the things that customers need to enhance their marketing campaigns with us. AJ Wilcox Yes, and I can't tell you how excited I am that there is now this partner ecosystem, because I kind of, quote unquote, grew up in the world of PPC. And there are so many partners out there, if you're running Google Ads, or Facebook Ads, there's so many different tools that you can take advantage of. LinkedIn hasn't had that it hasn't really been considered a tier one platform until what I would say is fairly recent. And now we have all of those types of things that you'd want to execute that you just mentioned, any of those needs you have, you can go out and find a partner who is doing this on LinkedIn. And I just want to say I think this is super powerful. I'm so proud of where it's landed. Illiana Acosta Yeah, you know, it's so funny, because like, before I started working here, I was like, B2B. B2B doesn't have to be boring, B2B can be fun, and really insightful, and really an incredible way to drive some meaningful business outcomes. And so we really have transformed over the last several years, I'd like to think it's when I joined the company, but I know that's not accurate. But it really has transformed into this platform that I am so proud to be a part of the growth of our LinkedIn ads business, the growth of the overall organization, what we stand for, and how we're so we are really doing everything we can to make sure that our customers, our marketers are getting everything that they need from us to be successful. And that is something that I am incredibly proud of. AJ Wilcox Oh, I love it. I know there's a lot to the partner programs, there's different tiers. Could you tell us a little bit about what maybe benefits are there for partners? Illiana Acosta Yeah, so we have different tiers of partners, depending on the tenure with us, but more so depending on the bandwidth and the use cases that you all support, right? Data linked, is a partner of ours, too. Yes, we know you're an OG, so this is good. Some other benefits include having a one to one relationship with a partner manager, depending on your level of tier. And that is incredible, because you have a trusted resource that you can literally work with every single week to help identify meaningful go to market strategies that are going to help to elevate and drive awareness around our value together as partners, and what we do for our customers together. And so that is powerful, because we have, you know, over 1000 partners in our ecosystem, but not every single partner is managed, and that every single partner is certified they're all on a journey. And so that's the journey that's the path to get partner certified and into the the level of tear that they're hoping to as they grow with us and they get manager or partner manager on my team or John's team or Bruno's team or Lara's team that I work with but, more so you know there's opportunity to tap into additional resources that we have to drive go to market together. There's opportunity to sync directly with our sales teams. There's opportunity to work directly with our sales leaders to identify leads, prospects, and more. So identify where can we drive the most value for our customers together, there's opportunity to be a part of our events that we have throughout the year B2Believe, Partner Connect, I heart ABM, there's so many different touch points that we can include here within, and vice versa, right. There's also an opportunity for us to show up for your events and be a part of any thought leadership, any webinars, any in person sessions. There's opportunity to tell stories together, I love telling stories together. Because together, we can really help make a big difference. And so how do we tag team on all efforts to really help again, elevate not so much our companies but elevate the value that we're offering customers, right, because if together, we continue to build solutions that will help address market challenges and marketers find value in it working with us, it's just going to be a byproduct of that, right? Like they want to work people that can help solve things for them. And we want to do that with our partners. And so So that's some of the benefits that you can expect to receive from our partner program. Working with our cross functional teams, we have dedicated resources on the business development side, on the partner end side, we have our B2B Institute, which is our think tank and is fully equipped with incredible thought leaders. We have a full partner marketing team that is ready and able to start on some really cool marketing concepts that again, can help elevate the value that we're driving for our customers. And so as we evolve this program and continue to grow, there's so much information that we disseminate through webinars and different methods. And so you can find a lot of that on the hub, which is our LinkedIn marketing partner hub. If you search on Bing, you can directly find that link. And I can also share the links with you, AJ, so you can share out to your followers, your subscribers on here. But yeah, so I think that there's opportunity for are always on marketing programs, which obviously you get visibility on our hub, which is external facing for all customers and marketers to visit. So that will give you free marketing and visibility for customers to come and learn more about you. That hub also houses our success stories with customers and partners. So that's another touch point that we can really have there. And then again, as I mentioned before, I think for us, it's really, really valuable. And we've had a lot of feedback from partners, that having that FaceTime with our sales team, either one on one or one to many, whether it be in a larger format or smaller, has been incredibly valuable globally. And so our marketing partners program is not just in North America, but it's literally across the globe. And many of our partners support our customers across the globe. And some are starting to really branch out into different regions as well, helping to have that global footprint, which is great. AJ Wilcox I love this. All right, here's a quick sponsor break, and then we'll jump back into the interview. Illiana Acosta The LinkedIn Ads Show is proudly brought to you by B2Linked.com, the LinkedIn Ads experts. AJ Wilcox Managing LinkedIn Ads is a massive time and money investment. Do you want some of that investment back? Consider booking a discovery call with B2Linked, the original LinkedIn Ads performance agency. We've worked with some of the largest accounts over the past 12 years, and our unique scientific approach to ads management, combined with our proprietary tools, allowing us to confidently optimize and scale your LinkedIn Ads faster and more efficiently than any other agency, in-house team, or digital ads hire. Plus, we're an official LinkedIn partner, which after this episode, you'll know exactly what that means. Just mosey on over to B2Linked.com/apply. We'd absolutely love the chance to get to work with you. Alright, let's go ahead and jump back into the interview. So I have to ask what qualifies someone to be a marketing partner? I'm imagining because this is with the API. This means these are people who are building tools, right? Who else is able to become a part? Illiana Acosta It really just depends on the use cases that you support, right? What's your special sauce? And whether or not our API's currently support the use case that you're looking to really invest in with us. And so you know whether you as a platform can support a campaign management, reporting an ROI. We talked about this before, but audiences, page management insights, lead gen content and creative. So if you fall under any of those use cases that we are API support today, these are all specialties that our current partners do support. If you fall under any of those, you may have a good chance of becoming one of our LinkedIn marketing partners. So there is a developer website that you can visit to apply to become a partner and we will evaluate the use case that you currently support how you're looking to really plug into our LinkedIn API's. And if there's a match, and you fall under any of those specialties, then we can start working together. AJ Wilcox Oh, if there is someone out there who's creating a tool or wants to create a tool, what advice would you give them? What can they do to better help their case to have a higher likelihood of being prioritized or or being taken on as a partner? Illiana Acosta I think one be specific in your application, right? As you can imagine, we get a ton of requests, be specific on what's your special sauce, we want to hear about your special sauce to obviously, if you have customers that are asking for it, that's always a really great story to share with us. And so many of our customers are working with us, they want to activate their LinkedIn campaigns to our platform. And guess what, hey, we don't have integration with you. So can we work on that? And so that's a really great way, right? Because now we have customers asking for this integration to happen. And we can start having those conversations, we can start working with our business development team, with our partner interest team, with our product team and getting all our ducks in a row to make sure that happens. And total sidebar, I said, ducks in a row, and I'm looking out my window. And there's four ducks walking across the way by the lake. And it's so funny. AJ Wilcox That's amazing. Illiana Acosta Perfect line. Yeah. So I think if they do that, I think that will help build a case, right? Because whatever our customer needs from us, like, we want to make sure that we're accommodating that. And if one customer is asking for it, the likelihood of many other customers is very high, are also demanding that. Again, we want to work with customers in the way that they want to work with us. And if that's via a partner, let's make it happen. And let's make sure that we are helping to simplify the process and working with LinkedIn as much as possible, ease the transaction between customers, as partners, etc. To make sure that again, we help to simplify the process working with us while also delivering value, and really great outcomes for the marketer. AJ Wilcox Awesome Illiana. This has been fantastic. I appreciate you sharing all this information about the partner program. My last question for you is do you have anything exciting that you're working on professionally, and personally? Illiana Acosta Yeah, I'm actually working on a few projects right now. One, I just finished his voiceover workshop not long ago. And I really took the course just to try to do more public speaking because I really enjoy it, it really fills my cup. And then I started realizing, wow, this is a really cool like opportunity to tap into. And it's been really, really fun just trying to find ways to adjust my voice and work on different projects. So voiceover has been really fun. Also, I have a newsletter called Lost in Translation and sort of tapping into the diversity piece. But the newsletter focuses on highlighting challenges and limitations for historically excluded groups. And it's a focus on experiences that have shaped who they, I am, and how they and we and me I show up both in my professional life and my personal life, because based on our experiences that really shaped who we are and the way we show up at work. What else am I working on? I'm doing a bunch of speaking engagements around the power of authenticity and taming your inner critic, because you know, impostor syndrome is real. AJ Wilcox We've all got it. Illiana Acosta Oh, my gosh, even on my best days, I'm like, wait, I'm like, no, no, just go to sleep, go to sleep, girl go sleep. But you know, covering topics, you know, the power that we each have. We literally every single person listening on this and not listening, we have the power and influence to create more diverse, more inclusive, and more equitable spaces for every single member of the workforce. And we have more power than we think. And so as you look at your colleague next to you, whether it be in person or on the virtual screen, I talk about how can we show up for others in a meaningful way. And even the smallest action and thought could actually make the biggest difference. And so I've been doing a lot around speaking engagements around that, because I think that, you know, the only way that we're going to change what this world looks like, for future generations is if we start doing the work now. That's some of the stuff I'm working on. AJ Wilcox So true. Is there any way that you want people to be able to reach out to you after this interview? Do you want them to reach out to you on LinkedIn or anywhere else? Illiana Acosta Yeah, tap into LinkedIn, honestly, crazy enough, my main social platform and more tech platform that I leverage on a regular basis, not because I work here, but I really enjoy being on the platform. I feel like it feeds me in different ways mentally, spiritually, and educationally and professionally. So LinkedIn, connect with me, send me an InMail happy to dialogue, you know, have some dialogue on there. And yeah, happy to answer any questions as well. AJ Wilcox Perfect.

What if we lived in a world where cops couldn't pull you over for things like tinted windows, expired registration or having those really lame lights under the frame of your car?    It turns out that this is exactly where California is headed (Check out SB 50 Here).     Before it was redacted from the proposed bill, the real reason behind the bill was revealed: “This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation relating to limiting a peace officer's authority to initiate pretextual stops to reduce racial profiling and the harm stemming from such stop.”   If you were to ask any law enforcement officer that I know, they would tell you that they could care less as to the color of the individual occupying a vehicle in violation. Yet, it seems like California is on a massive rampage on their fake ideology of officers being racially bias during traffic stops.   I've lived in Southern California my entire life (please, pray for me) and I can tell you that for every single police agency that I have ever seen here, it is while people who are the minority. Why is this, you might ask? Well, it turns out that we are very, very close to the Mexican/California boarder and naturally, have a high population of Hispanics who live in California.   Isn't it funny how you don't see any white officers on the streets of California preaching inequality?   In today's episode, Coach Ashlie Walton and Detective Walton break down SB 50 and why it is important to know about even if you are not a resident of California.     ⩥ PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL ⩤ https://bi3xbvVont.ly/   CLICK HERE for our best-selling products: https://amzn.to/3xaG3xw and https://rdbl.co/3DIQVUC   CLICK HERE to join our free Police, Fire, Military and Families Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/38w2e7r   Check out our website and learn more about how you can work with LEO Warriors by going to: https://www.leowarriors.com/   Like what you hear?

How does a train avoid detection? It covers its tracks. Today we are discussing the Southern Belle Restaurant in Heavener, OK. Stop by Southern Belle Restaurant in Heavener to chow down on traditional southern cooking. You'll find tasty steaks, burgers, fish, sandwiches and pork chops, all prepared in a down-home fashion, on the menu. For a real treat, pair your main course with a sweet potato topped with caramel and marshmallow. Be sure to try the house specialty, the Southern Belle Chicken, a boneless chicken breast marinaded in a secret house dressing, then dipped in batter and fried, and served with a special dipping sauce. It comes with a potato, bread and a trip to the salad bar. For dessert, try a slice of decadent homemade pie or cheesecake with flavors inspired by the season. The restaurant is housed in a refurbished 1905 railcar. A passenger train that traveled the Kansas City Southern Railway and previously transported WWII soldiers, the Southern Belle was discontinued in 1969 and was later restored to its present-day glory by local train buffs. Located in Le Flore County, Heavener is situated on State Highway 128 and on U.S. Highway 59/270, approximately twelve miles south of Poteau, the county seat. Lying within the former Choctaw Nation, Heavener is named for Joseph H. Heavener, who arrived in 1877 and was one of the area's earliest white settlers. He and others, including Sam Wilson, farmed on Choctaw permits. In 1880 Zachary Taylor Ward and his wife, Tabitha Hickman Ward, a Choctaw Indian, moved their store at Skullyville to present Heavener. This began the settlement. Ward died in 1883, and Tabitha married Heavener. The couple owned the land on which the town was established. Prior to the town's christening as Heavener, the area was known by several different names, including Prairie of the Tall Grass, Choctaw City, Prairie View, Long Prairie, and Grand Prairie. Good land drew farmers to the area and assisted in Heavener's growth. In 1885 a cotton gin and gristmill were built, and soon other businesses began moving in. Floyd Wilson established a subscription school. In 1886 Sam Lucas established a community church, the settlement's first. By 1889 Dr. Salather C. Capp practiced as the first doctor. The Commercial Hotel was built about that time. In 1895, after a vote of the local residents, the town became Heavener. In 1896 the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf Railroad built tracks through the town. A post office was established in a boxcar on May 12, 1896. Simon W. Woods served as the first postmaster. Another boxcar served as the train station. In 1900–1901 the Arkansas Western Railroad constructed tracks from Heavener east to Arkansas. Heavener expanded because of transportation access. After the Curtis Act (1898) allowed Indian Territory's municipalities to operate under federal guidelines, the town incorporated in 1898, with E. W. Moore the first mayor. In 1899 Harvey Wise became the first peace officer. In 1900 the population stood at 234. In 1901 the town was platted. After the Kansas City Southern Railway purchased the rail line in 1900, in 1910 the company established a roundhouse, making Heavener a division point. As a result, the town grew. In that year the first bank opened. In 1910 the population was 780, and by 1911 Heavener had two banks, two newspapers, and all of the amenities of a growing city. The population jumped to 1,850 in 1920. The region benefited from the mining and timber industries. Heavener hosted the Burnett Lumber Company's sawmill from 1935 until it burned in 1981. In 1930 the U.S. Census reported a population of 2,269, which declined to 2,103 in 1950. In 1960 the Heavener Charcoal Company began operation, shipping charcoal from its kilns to a plant in Arkansas. In 1970, when Oklahoma officials dedicated the nearby Heavener Runestone State Park, the population was 2,566. In the late twentieth century poultry farming took precedence as an economic activity. Poultry farmers in the Heavener area raise millions of chickens each year. In 1986 OK Foods established a poultry hatchery at the town. In 1992 the company opened a processing plant and in 1995 a feed mill for the farmers who supply the plant with chickens. These enterprises provide employment for many local residents, as well as for a large number of Hispanics who have migrated to Heavener to work. In 2000 the number of inhabitants stood at 3,201, with 23.5 percent of them being Hispanic. The 2010 census recorded 3,414 residents, of whom 41.3 were of Hispanic ethnicity.

In December, the 2nd Annual LatinX State of the Wine Industry Summit was held at RD Winery in Napa Valley. I missed the event but thought the topic was important enough to share on my podcast, so I met up with the moderator of the event, the dynamic Gabriela Fernandez. The all-day wine industry summit focused on the contributions the Hispanic and LatinX communities have made to the wine industry and celebrated the diversity, perseverance, and legacy-building resilience of those who have become known as the backbone of America's wine industry. The list of sponsors is impressive! The LatinX Wine Industry Summit event was presented by Hispanics in Wine, Uncorked and Cultured, and The Big Sip. Thirty one respected wineries, from Oregon and California, shared their wine during the finale, La Gran Cata. I believe you will find Gabriela truly passionate about the need for this kind of event. I'm convinced and will mark my calendar as soon as the 2023 date is announced.

Data drives business decisions, right? And investments, right? OK, then listen up. In this episode of I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY the conversation is all about fact-based data that provides REAL economic information about who Latinos are in the U.S. Ana Valdez, President and CEO of the Latino Donor Collaborative (LDC), is a wonderful guest because she doesn't hold back. LDC is a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to elevate the national discourse on the role and contributions of Latinos to American society supported by data. It all started over 10 years ago when a group of Latino leaders decided to bring together their resources and invest in conducting independent deep-dive research regarding the growing Hispanic population in the U.S. “This group was founded by Sol Trujillo and Henry Cisneros. They said, you know what, we need to present data that really shows who Latinos are in this country because we know instinctively that Latinos are incredible, but we really don't have the means to show that. The country is really better because of us, and our economic impact is tremendous, but we don't have the numbers,” Ana shares. Since then, LDC has developed more than 25 original reports and research pieces that highlight the economic impact of Latinos across all industries and levels. They have secured partnerships of the caliber of Stanford, UCLA, Columbia University, and Accenture, to name a few, to conduct evidence-based research that informs new ways to stimulate the economy, influence how major corporations engage with Latinos, and ultimately provide the data that confirms that investing in Hispanic employees, talent, stories, suppliers, and communities will absolutely 1000% pay off from a business standpoint. One of LDC's many jewels is the Latino GDP Report, updated in 2022, which reflects that if U.S. Hispanics were a standalone country TODAY, we would be the 5th largest GDP in the world right after the United States, China, Japan and Germany, to a tune of 2.8 trillion dollars. Ana explains, “The first report came out in 2017, and we were back then the 8th largest economy in the world. These numbers show that we are incredibly hard-working that we are reliable and we're incredibly loyal. We just want to create a better life for families. What is more of an American dream? And that's what we want to show people. We are not the enemy. We are not invading anything we've been in this country even before this country was a country.” Bottom line, LDC is providing free access to data about Latinos in the U.S. with a business lens and to counter racial profiling. “We chose to not go with the social justice argument, because although we believe that it's a great argument, sometimes people are really scared. We believe that the reason why the LDC has been able to get to the places we have been is that we actually come to them with a business premise of growth. So, for us, it's about telling you where you can get growth and where you actually have a blind spot. Who doesn't want to know a blind spot in terms of getting more money?,” Ana quips. #ihavesomethingtosay #urbander #urbandermindset #udou #podcast #videocast #vodcast #multiculturalintelligence #equitypractitioners #Unity #Collaboration #Vision #Intentionality #Resiliency #Leadership #Purpose #Empowerment #Tenacity #Grit #Determination #ChangeAgent #Humanity #Storytelling #TheShiftIsHere #Metaverse #InvestInTrust #RestoreTrust #BuildLegacy #HonorCulture #Visibility #Talent #LatinoDonorCollaborative #LDC #LatinoGDP #LatinoData #LatinoImpact

Guest host Dr. Neeraj Agarwal and Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching discuss several crucial studies that will be presented at the 2023 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, including ARASENS, TRITON3, and others in prostate cancer, as well as novel therapies in mRCC and urothelial carcinoma. TRANSCRIPT Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Hello, and welcome to the ASCO Daily News Podcast. I'm Dr. Neeraj Agarwal, your guest host of the ASCO Daily News Podcast today. I'm the director of the Genitourinary Oncology Program, a professor of medicine at the University of Utah Huntsman Cancer Institute, and editor-in-chief of the ASCO Daily News. I'm delighted to welcome Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching, a medical oncologist and the clinical program director of the Genitourinary Cancers Program at the Inova Schar Cancer Institute in Virginia.   Today we will be discussing key abstracts in genitourinary oncology that will be featured at the 2023 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium.   Our full disclosures are available in the show notes, and disclosures for all guests on the podcast can be found on our transcripts at asco.org/podcasts. Jeanny, it is great to have you on the podcast today.   Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Thank you so much, Dr. Agarwal, for having me.  Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: So Jeanny, let's begin with Abstract 15 on the update on the ARASENS trial, which Dr. Maha Hussain will present [at the meeting]. In March ‘22, as we know, almost a year ago, the results of the ARASENS trials were published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Darolutamide, which is an AR signaling inhibitor plus androgen deprivation therapy plus docetaxel chemotherapy, significantly reduced the risk of death by 32.5% versus placebo plus ADT plus docetaxel. The effect of triplet therapy, including darolutamide on overall survival, was consistent across prespecified subgroups. However, survival outcomes by disease volume were not reported at the time. Can you please tell us about Abstract 15?  Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Yeah, thank you so much, Neeraj, I would be happy to. So, this new data is actually very crucial for all clinicians. The title of this abstract is “Efficacy and Safety of Darolutamide in Combination with ADT and Docetaxel by Disease Volume and Disease Risk in the Phase 3 ARASENS Study.” So, as a quick reminder, in this trial, patients were randomized 1:1 to the standard dose of darolutamide 600 milligrams twice daily or placebo with ADT and docetaxel in the metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer setting.    Now remember, too, high volume disease was defined per the charted criteria, which is visceral metastases and/or four or more bone lesions, of which at least one or more has to be beyond the vertebral column or pelvis. 8And high-risk disease was actually defined per the LATITUDE criteria, which is any two or more of the following three factors: Gleason scores eight or more, bone lesions that are three or more, and the presence of measurable visceral metastases. Of all the 1,305 patients, 77% of them were actually classified as having high-volume disease, and 70% of them had high-risk disease. So, in both of these high-volume and low-volume disease patients, the triplet therapy darolutamide, ADT, and docetaxel actually improved overall survival and hazard ratio was 0.69 and 0.68, respectively. Compared to the placebo and ADT, and docetaxel arm. So overall survival improvement was also significant in patients across all risk, high-risk, or low-risk disease.   Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: So, Jeanny, this is great news. So, the main message from this abstract for our audience is that triplet therapy of darolutamide plus docetaxel plus ADT is more efficacious than the doublet of ADT plus docetaxel chemotherapy, regardless of disease volume or risk status.   One important caveat I would like to note is that triplet therapy with the darolutamide was not compared with the doublet therapy of ADT plus darolutamide or any androgen receptor signaling inhibitor such as abiraterone or apalutamide or enzalutamide, all of which have shown benefit consistently, regardless of volume status, and in the case of abiraterone, also in the context of high-risk disease setting, as we saw in the LATITUDE trial.  Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Absolutely. I agree with that, Neeraj. Those are important points to consider.   Now, moving on to a different setting in prostate cancer across the disease continuum, let's discuss Abstract 18, titled “Rucaparib for Metastatic Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer.” This is TRITON3 entering overall survival and efficacy of rucaparib versus docetaxel or second-generation engine pathway inhibitor therapy, which will provide us with some additional data regarding overall survival. Neeraj, based on this new abstract, can you tell us more about TRITON3, which will be presented by Dr. Alan Bryce and colleagues from the Mayo Clinic Arizona?  Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Of course. So TRITON3 is a randomized multicenter open-label phase 3 trial where rucaparib was compared with the physician choice of docetaxel chemotherapy or abiraterone or enzalutamide in those patients who had not received chemotherapy in the metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer setting, and they had to be progressing on a prior androgen receptor signaling inhibitor in any setting prior. So, they just had to have disease progression either in the hormone-sensitive setting or CRPC setting on one of the AR inhibitors, and they had to have a BRCA1, BRCA2, or ATM alteration.   So, in this context, these patients were randomized to rucaparib versus physician's choice of agent, which could again be docetaxel chemotherapy, abiraterone, or enzalutamide. So, OS maturity is 54% in BRCA group and 59% in the intention to treat population. In BRCA1 and BRCA2 populations, radiographic PFS, which was the primary endpoint, was 11.2 months in rucaparib group and 6.4 months in the physician choice arm. In the intention to treat population where you include all patients BRCA plus ATM patients, ATM positive patients. Radiographic PFS was 10 months almost versus 6.4 months with standard of care. And both were statistically significant as well as clinically meaningful improvement in the radiographic progression-free survival with rucaparib over physician's choice of either docetaxel or enzalutamide, or abiraterone. I would like to note that most frequent toxicity which we see with this group of agents is most frequent grade III or more toxicity was anemia, which was present in approximately 24% patients treated with rucaparib.  Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Yeah. This is a really exciting update, Neeraj. What do you think is the key takeaway from this abstract?  Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: The key takeaway is that TRITON3 trial met its primary endpoint, and rucaparib significantly improves radiographic progression-free survival in BRCA mutation-positive patients or BRCA ATM-positive patients. Overall survival is still immature, and these results further establish rucaparib as one of the standard of care options in those patients who have metastatic CRPC with prior treatment with the AR signaling inhibitor and who harbor one of the BRCA mutations or BRCA NAT mutations.   So, Jeanny, before moving on to the renal cell carcinoma section in this podcast, there is an Abstract in prostate cancer talking about correlation between the source of funding and disparities among patients with advanced prostate cancer. So, I'm referring to that Abstract 40, titled “Source of Funding and Enrollment Disparity in Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials.” I thought this was an interesting abstract. Could you please tell us more about this abstract?  Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Absolutely, Neeraj. So, in Abstract 40, Dr. Riaz and Dr. Bryce, and colleagues actually looked at phase II and III clinical trials that involved prostate cancer patients that reported on patients with age by 65 years, and they got the data from the MEDLINE and Embase databases. Trials recruiting from the United States were considered eligible for analysis by race and ethnicity. So, in terms of race and ethnic enrollment, they found that black patients were significantly underrepresented in the industry's funded trials. Notably, no significant disparity was observed in the US government-funded trials, but Hispanics were also significantly underrepresented in industry-funded clinical trials. However, no significant disparity was seen in terms of older adults overall and by funding sources. Remarkably, Black patients' representation in industry-funded prostate cancer trials has actually decreased over the last three decades.  Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: That's concerning. So, what is your key takeaway from this trial, Jeanny?  Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: The key message here is that Black and Hispanic men with prostate cancer are significantly less likely to be included in industry-sponsored clinical trials. A bigger concern is that black patients' representation actually continues to decline over time. So these results warrant a really more proactive role by regulatory bodies to ensure that a proportional representation of minorities in the industry trials, which in turn will make these results more applicable to a wider entire population of men with prostate cancer.  Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Thanks, Jeanny. Let's move on to renal cell carcinoma. I saw some innovative research correlating the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors with the time of the day these checkpoint inhibitors were administered. So, interestingly, there were two studies from two different groups of investigators showing very similar results. Please tell us about this innovative research correlating outcomes with immune checkpoint inhibitors with the time of the day these medicines or these drugs were infused into the patients.   Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Absolutely, Neeraj. I think they're very exciting and interesting. So there's actually two abstracts, so Abstract 681 and 678, which we, of course, can discuss separately. So, let's probably start first with Abstract 678. Neeraj, do you want to explain to us further about this abstract?  Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Yes. When our center participated in that abstract, which was led by Dr. Nazli Dizman from Yale University, Dr. Dizman and colleagues examined the relationship between the time of the administration of immune checkpoint inhibitors, or ICIs, as we call them, during the time of the day, and outcomes in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. So, I'd like to point out that previously Dr. Qian and colleagues reported an association between the time of day of immunotherapy infusion and survival outcomes in patients with metastatic melanoma.   In this study, Dr. Dizman and colleagues, which included our center also, patients with metastatic RCC who received nivolumab with or without ipilimumab– so these patients all received either nivolumab alone or without ipilimumab. And patients who received less than 25% of infusion after 4:30 pm. were assigned to the early-time of infusion group. So, if they have received less than 25% infusion of these immunotherapies after 04:30 pm in the evening, they belong to the early infusion group, and the rest were assigned to the late infusion group.  In the univariate analysis, numerically higher objective responses and time to treatment failure were observed in the early infusion group compared to the late infusion group. So, differences were 33% versus 25% in objective responses in early versus late infusion group. If you look at time to treatment failure, 8.3 months versus 4.4 months in early versus late infusion group. In the multivariate models, which took into account the clinical characteristics such as age, gender, line of treatment, IMDC risk category, histological subtypes, there was a trend towards improved outcomes in those who received these infusions with ICIs early in the day. So, Dr. Dizman concluded that larger randomized and controlled investigations are warranted to examine the impact of this chronal modulation, if you will, on the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors in metastatic RCC sets.  Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Yeah, this is very interesting data, Neeraj. And that actually resonates closely with this other abstract by Fernandez Manias and colleagues in Abstract 681. So, in this abstract, the primary outcome was overall survival, but they did look at other secondary endpoints like time on treatment, time to the next treatment, and overall response rates. Now, because of the small number of events, the authors actually focused on just patients who received second-line immune checkpoint inhibitors. And what they did was they looked at patients who received overall more than 20% of their infusions after 04:30 pm, and they found that those who did receive actually fewer infusions had a significantly shorter time on treatment and had a worse overall survival. And similar results were seen when they looked at those who got more than 50% of their dose of checkpoint inhibitors that were administered after 04:30 pm, so interestingly enough, there was a 16% increase in the risk of death for each 10% increment of checkpoint infusion after 04:30 pm. So the key message here is that administration of checkpoint inhibitors after 04:30 pm is associated, unfortunately, with inferior outcomes. Now, these results should, of course, be further considered in the organization overall of the outpatient clinic as it can impact patient survival and outcomes.  Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Very interesting. So similar results from two independent groups of investigators from two different continents obviously made this research area very appealing and pertinent. Ideally, I think these results should be validated prospectively, but that will take time. But investigators who have already lagged multiple phase III trials should explore validating these results in the last phase 3 trials which have already been reported and where the data on the timing of infusion is available. Once validated, I think these results may profoundly influence how we organize, as you said, Jeanny, the outpatient scheduling of these checkpoint therapy infusions compared to those who are not checkpoint inhibitors. I think this is going to have very interesting data overall, no doubt.   Before moving onto bladder cancer, I would like to discuss an important abstract related to testicular cancer patients titled “Longitudinal Evaluation of Plasma MicroRNA-371 to Detect Minimal Residual Disease and Early Relapse of Germ Cell Tumors.” Could you please tell us more about this abstract?  Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Yeah, absolutely, Neeraj. So this is a very interesting up-and-coming Abstract, it's number 407, which will be presented by Dr. Lucia Nappi and colleagues. In this study, clinical patients with stage I germ cell tumor with available plasma samples after they underwent radical orchiectomy were all included. So, they looked at sensitivity, specificity, negative, positive predictive values, an area under the curve in predicting tumor recurrence, and they evaluated the microRNA-371, I'll just call it and truncate it as miR-371, and compared the same operating characteristics of current gold standard diagnostic tests. Relapse-free survival was correlated to post-orchiectomy miR-371 status, which could be either positive or negative.   So, at a median follow-up of 41 months, 101 patients with clinical stage one germ cell tumor were included. About 35% of them experienced a disease relapse during that time of follow-up. Now, what they found was miR-371 was positive in about 63% of the relapsed patients, and the miR-371 positivity preceded clinically evident disease by a median of about three months. The specificity and positive predictive values were 100%, sensitivity was like 63%, and negative predictive value was 83.5%, so very high. No false positive results were seen. And, the authors reported that the recurrence-free survival of the patients who had positive post-orchiectomy miR-371 was significantly shorter compared to those patients who had a negative biomarker for the miR-371. So, they concluded that the miR-371 sensitivity correlated with the tumor burden, time between tumor relapse, the microRNA testing, and histology. It was notably a little bit more sensitive in non-seminomas compared to those who had seminoma.  Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Interesting findings, indeed. So, Jeanny, what is the take-home message from this abstract?   Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Yeah, so I think the key takeaway is that microRNA-371 seems to be a good test, like a biomarker for predicting disease relapse in patients with early-stage germ cell tumor. So, additionally, its high specificity and positive predictive value in predicting relapse could really be used and utilized to guide adjuvant therapy, selections, and decisions after orchiectomy. Further validation in other studies, such as swab 1823, are currently ongoing or planned to validate its clinical utility.   So Neeraj, moving on to bladder cancer, the last abstract I'd like to mention before we wrap up the podcast is Abstract 563, titled “Utility of ctDNA in Predicting Outcome and Pathological Complete Response in Patients with Bladder Cancer as a Guide for Selective Bladder Preservation Strategies.” Neeraj, can you tell us more about this abstract?  Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Sure. So, this study was led by Dr. Lars Dyrskjøt. He and colleagues evaluated the prognostic value of circulating tumor DNA, or ctDNA, in predicting recurrence in a cohort of 68 patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who received new adjuvant chemotherapy prior to cystectomy. So ctDNA was analyzed two times at baseline before new adjuvant chemotherapy and then before surgery or before cystectomy. So, patients had ctDNA assessed before neoadjuvant chemotherapy and then before cystectomy after completion of new adjuvant chemotherapy. At baseline, of the 64 patients, around 60% were ctDNA negative, and 40% were positive for ctDNA. So of those patients who were ctDNA negative, 84% achieved pathologic complete response, while in those who tested ctDNA positive, only 35% achieved their pathologic complete response after surgery.   Prior to surgery, 84% of patients were ctDNA negative, and 81% achieved pathologic complete response. While none of the ctDNA-positive patients who were positive before surgery and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, none of them achieved pathologic complete response, which translates into a positive predictive value of 100% and a negative predictive value of 81% for this test. So based on both ctDNA time points, the probability of ctDNA negative patients to achieve a pathologic complete response was significantly higher than ctDNA positive patients.   At a median follow-up of 59 months, ctDNA-positive patients without pathologic complete response demonstrated significantly lower recurrence-free survival and overall survival compared to those who were ctDNA negative. So, I want to repeat that, at a longer follow-up, which Dr. Dyrskjøt will be presenting, ctDNA positive patients without pathologic complete response had significantly lower recurrence-free survival and overall survival compared to ctDNA negative patients. Furthermore, ctDNA status at baseline, which is before neoadjuvant chemotherapy and before cystectomy, was a better predictor of recurrence-free survival compared to pathologic complete response, which is a remarkable finding here, although it's a smaller data set.  Dr. Jeanny Aragon-Ching: Agree completely, Neeraj. So, I think the importance here, too, is upon prospective validation in larger data sets, we will find that a negative ctDNA test would help in identifying patients who can benefit more from bladder-sparing strategies.   Neeraj, any final thoughts before we wrap up the podcast today?  Dr. Neeraj Agarwal: Before I share my final thoughts, Jeanny, I would like to thank you for joining us and sharing your insights.
