This is a special drop-in This is an extra podcast this month from the consulting team You guys know our avid listeners know that we do quite a few podcasts every month here It takes a bulk of podcasts every month But ours always kind of coincide with the information that we're working on the newsletters that you guys are getting So if you're not subscribed to the newsletters go pop in there on that but we have an extra one today and I have a special guest with me I'm calling you a guest now because   Britt (00:00) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (00:30) I don't pull you in on these as much, Britt, and I have Ms. Brittany Stone. And Britt, I mean, it's gotta be nice over there, like, floating through life on the HR side, you know? But every now and again, I gotta pull you in and wrangle you back to the consulting side. So welcome, and I'm just, I'm excited to have you here today, Britt. How are you?   Britt (00:50) I like that you call it floating through life over there, Tiff, right? I'm happy to ask a person what it is.   The Dental A Team (00:54) I'm just, I'm projecting it for you. Yeah, I'm projecting   it. That way you can like create it. What we say we create, right?   Britt (01:01) Exactly.   We do have an amazing team. It's fun to be here. know consultants get the opportunity to be on here. Even Eve with marketing, so proud of her that she did a podcast as well. So I'm happy I get to stop back in for a little bit.   The Dental A Team (01:17) Yeah, I mean, you reminded   me that Eve was just on Not That Long Ago now, and I'm just mixing it up for these listeners right now. You guys are welcome. This is this is becoming a spicy podcast. So here we go. I love it. Full team. know. Next thing you know, we'll see who I pull in. But probably nothing any more exciting than this. You guys. They're behind the scenes for a reason, right? They are behind.   Britt (01:29) The whole team, the whole team.   Good luck on any of the rest of them. ⁓   I really enjoy   being in that spot.   The Dental A Team (01:46) Yeah, Britt did not, you guys. Just a quick tidbit. Britt has come out of herself quite a bit. And do you remember, Britt, I was just thinking like one of the first, I remember where we were sitting, where I was sitting, at least in my apartment when we had to do the Zoom, because Kiera's like, we got to do videos. People are doing video podcasts now. We got to keep up with it. We got to do videos. And you and I were like, what? Like, I am not dressed for this. Like, and we were so awkward and uncomfortable and it was so weird. Do you remember?   Britt (02:14) I do and you know that's like voice was weird enough for me at least you know karma works in my favor that I didn't have to go full throttle from the very beginning of doing things I got an intro of just doing voice and then eventually adding video   The Dental A Team (02:23) there.   Very fair, very fair. And I think as a leader on our team, that kind of spurs right into what our conversation today is about. And Britt, you are an incredible fearless leader on our team. And I think doing this podcast with you is divine and just meant to be. are someone that I look up to, that I know the whole team looks up to. And just that in itself, like the things that you have worked through, overcome. I remember when you first came on, I'm like, talk to yourself in the mirror. You're like, okay, crazy. Like, yeah, I am.   I am crazy, but it works. And you did it. Like you just jumped in and you were like, I'm going to figure this out. And that is just a piece of leadership that I think you're naturally born with, the figure out-ness. Like it's fine. Anything can be figured out. Whether you do it for the long run or not, you can figure it out and train someone else to do it. So having you on on the leadership piece here is actually just super like natural, right? Like it just is natural. So thank you for being here.   Britt (03:26) You bet, you're generous, Tiff. I problem solving for sure. Kiera will say there's always a solution and that is yes, being a leader, there's always a path through. I don't know exactly what it might be right now, but there's always a pathway through. And ⁓ yeah, it's, ⁓ I think also being a leader, it's a constant ⁓ humble of being able to learn is helps you continue to learn skills to be a better leader over time.   The Dental A Team (03:51) I totally agree with you. And we learn from each other, I think, and we continue to grow. We continue to refine those aspects of ourselves and those aspects of who we are and who we want to become. And it just makes it really, really cool. And today's special podcast, you guys should know. Hopefully, you know, this is dropping on a very special day. It's it's considered Boss's Day. I wish it was like Leaders Day. I don't I don't love the word boss in 2025. Yeah.   Britt (04:17) Can we have a for you to end that a little bit?   The Dental A Team (04:19) We've rebranded so many holidays and so many names of things. I think this one's definitely on the list of need. But I think of Boss' Day as like Leader's Day. I think that it's just a day to celebrate leadership and it's a day to celebrate today of all days the reason that we have, we'll say jobs, right? The reason that we're here today, the reason that we have a company to work for. And I just think it's really cool to take a moment and a special time to really thank those   those people, the entrepreneurs that we work for. And the other day someone said to me like, I'm not an entrepreneur. I'm like, they're an entrepreneur. They own a business. Like they're dentists. know they are entrepreneurs. Just like Kiera is an entrepreneur and she is the leader of this ship and she is to be celebrated today just the same as the rest of you guys are. And Britt and I thought we would take a moment to celebrate Kiera. We will get there. Kiera, don't you worry. Keep listening. We are going to get there.   ⁓ celebrate Kiera, but also to just celebrate you guys too and to really highlight some fantastic leadership skills that we've seen come about in our journeys, but also things that we see practices doing that set them apart from other practices in the leadership spectrum. And Britt, I think that it would be wild to start anywhere else. You tell me I might be totally wrong, but I really believe that leadership is a culture that you create.   and learning how to hone in leadership, think people kind of start all over the place. They're like, well, start with accountability. I'm like, well, first you gotta start where you want, how do you want to show up? Like, how do you want people to view you? How do you wanna be seen as a company and as individuals? And I think that culture piece, can be hard to understand. I might be like making things up, but I think it's something that really great leaders get.   is that they are the culture of the company. And from your perspective, Britt, you've helped create the culture of this company. You're a massive leader within our own company, but you've also worked with many, leaders, even before Dental A Team, to help build businesses, to help build successful entrepreneurial businesses and sectors. What have you seen as just important leadership qualities that really hone in   that culture that doctors and owners can take away from today.   Britt (06:44) Yeah, I love it, Tiffanie. It truly does start at the top. And I think that's probably one of the most important things for anyone who's an entrepreneur, anyone on the team who's got some sort of influence upon other people, which is pretty much everyone, is to number one, like recognize that, yes, you are a leader. And number two, like you said, recognize that it really does start with you and the impact that you have and what it shapes your culture.   I think some of the best leaders that I've had the privilege of being around or working with, I think number one, there's like a confidence humility balance that happens with them because they are confident enough, more confident than I, to like go and take this big chance and go have this business, make that investment, it's gonna be successful. So they've got that strong confidence piece in them.   while also realizing that yes, there are human sides sometimes we've got to shape ourselves a little bit to become that leader and create that culture within our team. And so being able to recognize that and acknowledge it and take that responsibility on as a leader, I even have to catch myself doing it sometimes. Right, sometimes, well, it's just, that's the way I am. No, that's not a good answer, right, for something. That's not a, that's an excuse 100%. It's not just the way I am or I'm learning about that.   thing or I'm working on becoming better at that thing instead of saying, well, that's just what it is and move on and deal with it because that doesn't get us anywhere. So I think kind of that humility, confidence mix. you know, I think anywhere you go and you've heard it before, right, people remember how you make them feel. And I think really good leaders have a genuine just want for their people to do well as humans and in their job.   And it's amazing the power that comes behind that. I'm thinking of, just had the opportunity to see one of my old bosses recently. And just like the excitement he has for what I'm doing now. And I quit, I left his office to come and do this. And he's still so excited about it. I think that goes a long ways for team members and building leaders because it builds confidence in your team around you.   and helps you to one, not only build up your team, but also build up more leaders, which everyone needs.   The Dental A Team (09:10) Yeah,   I love that. love that I actually get to see my boss that I left next Monday. So I'll probably have a similar experience. But I love the way you said that, Britt, that confidence, but with that humble and I kind of as you're as you're talking, my brain's kind of putting it in steps. And it's almost like you've got to develop yourself to the point that you have the confidence to say yes to take that step to run for it. But then the next layer is peeling back enough ego.   can't rid of the whole ego because you need some sort of ego. Ego is good, but it can be too much. It's peeling back the ego and realizing that you're not losing confidence or losing status by being humble or by being vulnerable in your leadership. And so I actually find vulnerability to be a space of higher confidence. I feel like the more confident you are, the more vulnerable.   Britt (09:54) Mm-hmm.   The Dental A Team (10:06) you are able to be with like that true confidence definition. And so it's kind of that like you needed the momentum. It's it's kind of like Brody. He's 17 and he has all of these things that he wants to do and he has all these decisions he's trying to make. But he doesn't have his brain hasn't developed yet enough to see the logistical steps that happen after that decision is made. Like it's like this decision and then the next one. Right. So it's kind of those   steps of entrepreneurship is like, had to have enough confidence to make this first decision, but now I'm no longer 17 years old, my brain needs to develop, right? So it's almost like you get here and now you're developing that skill of humble, vulnerable leader and peeling back those layers to say, is now where we're at. And that's where that culture piece comes in. And I think it's where the culture   shifts come in for so many practices because we had to hire people, we had to have what we have, and then we get to a point, I would say, I would venture to say three to five years in, you get to the point where it's like, okay, this feels chaotic. How do we back up and almost restart because we're backing up, peeling off those layers, and then adding something back in. And I think, you highlighted that really well.   Britt (11:08) Thank   you   The Dental A Team (11:31) and those characteristics ⁓ being developed over time are like, it's just the only way to really do it. And to think that right off the bat of practice ownership straight out of school, you're gonna have all of those skills is kind of crazy. So I love the way that you had said that. And I think we've all had the opportunity on some level or another to watch each other grow in those spaces, ⁓ but to highlight Kiera in this moment for Boss's Day.   she's an incredible boss, is really watching her develop those is something that we all get to take away. So she has that humble vulnerability. Doesn't always come easily and you guys, like you'll stumble. You're gonna have to have some space where you're like, that wasn't my best foot, which it almost was because it created the situation we're in to have the conversation we're having. So I just don't ever look at anything as a total loss. I look at everything as like a step forward.   but she's able to do those pieces for us and with us because we're all growing at the same rate she is. We're like a percentage or two behind her, right? But she's leading the pack and creating that culture. if Kiera's turbulent, we're turbulent. If Kiera's, she doesn't even have to be in the company, you guys. Like she does not even have to be here with us, we know. We're virtual.   Britt (12:41) Mm-hmm.   No.   virtual or virtually.   The Dental A Team (13:00) Good, yeah, good point because I have a lot of doctors that are like, how do I get this culture to work without me here? This is that space where Kiera has led us in this fight of culture to where we've all been able to pick up those pieces and embody them. We embody who the Dental A Team is and it's not necessarily Kiera. We're not mini Kiras by any mean. We are embodying the Dental A Team culture.   so that the company can be successful and we can carry the culture without care of being here. And I think that comes from that next layer, right? We push forward, we have the confidence, peel back the layer, we have the vulnerability, and then we train and teach that by showing and doing, by being. Like, you live it so that people can live.   Britt (13:53) Tiff, and as you were saying that, right, that confidence piece, and we've all experienced it. I don't care who you are, right? You've hit that point where like it's just a tough spot. Whether it's a tough thing you learn about yourself, whether it's a tough spot business-wise, right? We hit those tough points and that the confidence that leaders have is the confidence to say, all right, and...   We keep going and this makes us better, right? Like that's the confidence to where it's not, they're not backing down, right? Have their moment great. As my brother tells me, you got five minutes, go cry about it and then let's move on from it. You know, something like that. It's like, fill your emotions, let it out, but then it's time to move on and start progressing from here instead of letting that derail us completely.   The Dental A Team (14:45) Absolutely, absolutely. And when we're given that availability, it changes and shapes who we are. Because I think then the last thing people want to do is take stuff home to their families. And that's where people come in, they're like, tiff, right, how do I get this work-life balance? I'm like, I hate that word. You guys know that, you've heard me preach about it. We're not going to go down that rabbit hole. This is where it happens though, where you can show up and be respectful, but be yourself and be able to work.   through things together, that you don't take things home and then you come to work worse. Like it's this bad spiral. And when the culture does start to shift in that direction, it's having the confidence plus vulnerability to be able to say, we need to have a conversation. Like something's off, we're off. Kiera and do that a lot, right? We'll say something feels wrong. the words aren't matching the tone or like the way I'm hearing them, it doesn't match what I   think your intention is, so like, let's squash through that real quick because what happens is if we stay on that space, it's just like a battle of egos at that point and you think I'm showing up confidently, like I'm showing up strong. Sometimes, but mostly we need to be like, wait a second, what is that that I heard? Walk me through that first. That's the vulnerability space, because you might say, well, you said something that really hurt my feelings. Got it, tell me, let's work through it.   Britt (16:10) I   The Dental A Team (16:12) And I know we have been trained in our lifetime here that work is not a space for emotions, work is not a space for feelings. And that's just not, it's fine if that's what you want your culture to be. And I'm here to stand on the fact that create your culture to be what you want it to be. Our company's culture is to tackle things as they happen. And it's something that we've been able to develop over time. ⁓   with respect to one another and respectful communication. So thank you, Britt. That was beautiful. I think the doctors that we attract and the teams that we attract kind of, I think we attract, like attracts like, and we attract practices that are looking for culture similar to ours or have culture similar to ours and need to step it up a little bit more or just get to that next level. And   think now, Britt, is there anything else you wanna add to that before?   we start our brag   Britt (17:10) I   only other thing I would add to that, right, as you listeners are out there, whatever stage that you are in, right, we worked with a lot of leaders as well and people we learned from all the time from our clients and also that we get to help them along that journey of leadership. Because I don't know about you, Tiff, but thinking back on clients, right, I've got clients where the leader they were when they opened the door with four employees is different than the leader they are now.   where they're going into multiple locations and have now leaders built up underneath them who do a lot of things for them. I think giving credit to the amount of personal growth and leadership growth that takes to transition within your business to a different stage and a different size even. And so it's a lot of fun for us to be able to be a part of that and help out with that.   And also I know a lot of our doctors who come to us and there's a lot of things that as a leader, you cannot complain down. That's just one of the things you can't complain down. And so you've got to have someone to work through things with. And sometimes it's not the prettiest when you're working through those things. And so being able to be that outside person so that our doctors can work through those things with us and we can work through it so that they can go present to their team.   as the leader that they want to show up as. That's ultimately who they are, but right, we're all growing and changing. And so it's helping them to be able to have that support, to be able to go and then present to their team as the leader that they want to be. So I think that's the only thing is everyone is always learning. Perfection is never something that you are gonna reach. It's a constant growth that we're looking for. And as we work with our leaders, is the leader you are today.   will not be the leader you are in five years. Thank goodness. We will all be better than we are currently.   The Dental A Team (19:05) Yeah.   Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Like, thank goodness I'm not the mom I am today, the same as the mom I was when he was four. Yeah, that was beautiful. Thank you. I totally agree. And acknowledging that, like you said, being okay with it, ⁓ understanding you're not going to be the same as you were and your team shouldn't be either. So I know a lot of leaders will feel held back where they're like, gosh, but my team knows me as this person. And it's like saying, well, my husband knows me as my 20 year old version.   Britt (19:11) huh.   Okay.   The Dental A Team (19:37) self. So me taking these new courses or expanding my thoughts or doing yoga instead of workouts at the gym would be different. How will he view me? It's kind of the same. Like you guys grow together or you grow apart. And if you've got team members that aren't ready to take that next stage with you, that's okay too. Just know if you hold yourself back, you're holding your team back too. So perfect, Brett. I love it.   ⁓ so I have, we have, we have something fun for Kiera. I know she listens to these. I know specifically she's going to listen to this one cause it's freaking boss's day. And she knows that something fun is coming out. And what we did today, Britt and I pulled the, ⁓ consultant team specifically, and we asked for one to three qualities that they see in Kiera that she brings to our team as our leader.   I thought these would be really fun for Kiera to hear, for Britt and I to talk about, and for you guys to take away as leaders, because I do think that they are, there are so many, are 20,000 words we could choose from, but it is really cool to see how a company has grown and what they're showing up and embodying now. And I wrote them all down for us, Britt, and then I've got a couple that I just want quickly you to kind of expand on for us.   There were a few that were repeated, which I thought was really, really cool. One of the ones that was repeated was integrity, doing what they say they're going to do. And that's something that within our company we have had as a piece of our core values for as long as I can remember. And I think for Kiera in general, she works really hard to do what she says she's going to. And if she, for some reason, misses that step, she definitely takes ownership of it. Another one that came up, well, it was kind of worded.   in different ways. So it's kind of, it's actually kind of cool because execution and vision came up, which I feel like Kiera is our visionary and we learned, I called her out on it and I love you Kiera. I hope you're listening. You know, I will call you out every single day. When she loses her vision, our whole company spirals. There was a point in our lives where I was like, we just need to know where you want us to go. We just need it. So having that on this list actually made me really, really, really happy.   Britt (21:51) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (22:02) And I think it'll make Kiera really proud to hear that that was one of the words that came up. But I also think that vision kind of flows in with execution because she executes on the vision, which helps, she executes on most things she puts her foot forward on, but it helps us to execute on the vision as well. But then ⁓ decisive came up and those kind of all clumped together for me in my mind. Decisive, I think Kiera is gonna get a kick out of that one as well.   that is something that she has honed a skill in on. ⁓ Accountability, empathy, confidence, passion to make a difference, inspiring, transformational and resilient. well, first off, Britt, what's your favorite leadership quality that was given to us from the team for Kiera, but just for a leader, not necessarily for Kiera.   Because we don't need to make it all about her. She's already like blushing over there, but I wanted her to hear these words But what out of out of those what do you feel like you pull out as a baby leader as a grown leader? Like what word stands out to you the most?   Britt (23:12) Yeah, I do love that decisive was on there as I know Kiera will love that one on there too. I think that's one of my favorites Tiff to your point. Right, we can't have too many cooks in the kitchen on what direction to go because it really does get wild even within your dental practice too many cooks in the kitchen gets very wild. And so that leader who can be decisive and I think it goes along with vision as well of like   The Dental A Team (23:17) Same. Yeah.   Britt (23:42) keeping the course of what direction are we going, even though that direction is moving or growing or where are we headed to, and that'll adapt over time. A good team, right? Good team members. All we wanna do is like help you and make it happen. It's kinda like, well, we just, what direction? Because I know if I start going my own direction, it's gonna get wild and I'm gonna be off track. So like what direction? And then,   give me a few words and let's go and let's make it happen. And I think that's huge. And I know that that's a tough spot to be in sometimes. Our business owners, our entrepreneurs, you guys have a lot on your shoulders and it doesn't always go recognized. And I know like it's pressure on you sometimes, but keeping, for you to keep a space where you can have that clear direction and be decisive about where we're going is a game changer.   The Dental A Team (24:39) I agree. I agree. I think execution goes along with that. And the vision plays such a huge role too, because as you were speaking, I was thinking for visionaries, for entrepreneurs, for people who start businesses, it's very difficult for them to see outside of being a visionary. Just like when you're not a visionary, when you're an implementer, which most team members are not going to be visionaries. You guys are probably on their own companies, just saying.   Britt (24:43) Thank   Yeah.   The Dental A Team (25:06) They are implementers on some level. You are the visionary, but it's very difficult to see the other side. It's like it's difficult for you to put yourself in those shoes. So the visionaries are like, no, like you want space to create because that's what they want. But they do have a very clear picture of what they want, but they don't know how to narrow it down. Right. So it's kind of this like mix and teams sometimes go a little wild. They're like, just tell me and   they get into the spin. And so I think that decisiveness, that execution narrows down to the vision. When you know the vision, when you have a clear picture of the vision, that is your go-to spot, you guys. Decisions are so much easier when you know where you're going. When the vision of your practice is super clear, those decisions, big or small, come down to, they match our vision? Does this go with our team values? Does this match our culture?   or is this completely opposite of what we're heading towards? Do we wanna add a new product to our product line? Do we wanna add a new procedure? Well, what's our vision? What's our goal? Is this in alignment with what we're working towards? Because then visionaries, you can say yes, no, maybe here's the outline, here's a template, go create. I can be very creative when I know what the direction is. So to your point, Britt, I think those all go hand in hand. I totally agree. And I think it's something that as a company,   We've pushed for and narrowed down really, really well. Our style of meetings help, and I know we work with practices all the time to get those narrowed down. We have practices coming into town soon to do just this thing. so those were so perfect. And it's something that we constantly refine. Doctors, think actionable pieces here, leaders, office managers. When I was an office manager, you guys, I told you, I'm gonna see my doc in a week. I love him. He, Debrit, I think we're like the same, like they are just   family to us.   Britt (27:04) Always a cheerleader.   The Dental A Team (27:05) Always   a two-year-later, constantly. But I had to be the one that created this stuff, right? Like for slash with him. And so office managers who are here today that are like, yeah, this sounds great guys, but like my doc's not gonna listen to this podcast or my doc's not on the same page as me. That's totally fine. Go create it. Create something so that your team can be decisive in their roles too.   when you can narrow down that vision, no matter who you are right now, whatever leadership position you hold in your company, narrow that down and make it easy for everyone, because it's going to make it easier for you too. So, Britt, this went longer than I thought it would. Thank you so much for being here. I love celebrating everyone. And Britt, you're just one of my favorite humans. And I knew you would have so much to pull out of this on leadership side.   Britt (27:54) Same Tiff, I mean, Kiera deserves all the credit in the world as someone who like, even I've been here for four years now and Kiera now is different than the Kiera back then and is only getting better and better. So thanks to her. I know she and you owners don't always get a lot of the thanks and support and you deal with a lot of things. So it's a thank you for me, one to Kiera and two to all of you out there who take on that responsibility and that.   The Dental A Team (28:23) That was beautiful, thank you. And with that, you guys, go do the things we kinda talked about here too. Go narrow in your vision and your focus. If you haven't narrowed in, go talk to your team about it. Even if you talked about it yesterday, say, hey guys, let's talk about this again. Talk about it enough that that becomes your culture and your drive within your practice. And most of all, go have an amazing Bosses Day.   I hope you are celebrated. I hope you feel loved, even if it's just this today and nobody else knows. Shelbi told us, you guys, I'm gonna let you in on a secret. Like that's how I know the date, okay? So you guys, if you're listening and you didn't get the flowers, like this is your flowers, okay? We're all here for it. We're all celebrating each other. And Kiera, like Britt said, we are so, so incredibly grateful for everything you do every single day, every way that you show up for us and the way that you grow us individually and as a team every single day.   So with that, you guys, go have a great Boss's Day. Catch you next time.

How To Hone Your Deal Selection Process Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Investors funding startups go through a great number of deals to find the ones to fund. The investor won't know for several months or years if the deal is going to work out or not. The startup's fundraising is typically over after six months or a year.  The investor often brings their personal business experience to the selection process. For startups, this may or may not be the best way to screen startup deals. Markets and technologies change over time, so it's important to keep up to date with one's selection process. Here's how to hone your deal selection process: For the next twenty-five startups, write out which ones you would invest in and why. Do the same for those you would not invest in and state why. Revisit those twenty-five startups three to six months later to find out what happened to them. Compare their outcomes with your written projections.  This will tune your selection process by giving you more factors to consider. From time to time, hone your selection process to find out what's working in the startup world and what is not.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at:   Check out our other podcasts here:   For Investors check out:   For Startups check out:   For eGuides check out:   For upcoming Events, check out    For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group    Please , share, and leave a review.

The Stray Dog Debate, Scandalous Leaks & Accidental Heroes... All in One Episode! | Saade Aala Radio1. Dog Lovers vs. Supreme Court: Strays on the Loose!Stray dog bites are on the rise, targeting kids and elders like they're auditioning for a chaos reality show. We say: kudos to the Supreme Court — someone needed to say that public safety beats Instagram pooch pages. Many developing countries manage strays. We also flip the frame — talking about how other animals act when they're just trying to live. Spoiler: dogs are innocent; their hoomans are the problem.2. Uppal Farm Girl Scandal – Privacy? Never Heard of It.In Punjab, a personal video of a YouTube influencer known as "Uppal Farm Girl" leaked. And what did we do? We watched people scramble to share it like it was cricket score highlights. Welcome to a world where clicks outshine empathy. Sharing someone's personal home clips for followers? Brilliant. Eye-roll.3. Sikh Postman Goes Viral – Not for Political GainPlot twist—this viral “good news” breaks the cycle. An Australian Sikh postman named Gurpreet Singh folds an old lady's laundry during rain, saving her day. The internet loves it. But there's a twist: we explore why it mattered only because it was decent, not because someone filmed it for likes. Can kindness just be kindness without an angle?4. Illegal U-turn, Three Lives LostFlorida's drama: an illegal U-turn by a truck driver named Harjinder Singh killed three. He passed driving and language tests? In America? The guy got a commercial license in California despite being undocumented, then crashed. News fed frenzy. Trump-charades rage. This is American "infrastructure." AP NewsIndiatimesThe Times of India5. Civic Sense Abroad – Not Just an Indian ProblemIndian civic sense gets roasted in western countries too. People think ordering chips online is a right, not a privilege. We poke fun, compare, and beg: can the world please just chill?Why Watch?Because random kindness beats scandal in real life (and online).Because governance—whether traffic rules or barking laws—needs less attention on WhatsApp and more action.Because sometimes the truth is funnier than fiction.Tune in, giggle, and let's talk about why society is asleep—and how we woke it up with sarcasm.

China is accelerating the construction of an integrated national computing power platform, aiming to enhance the quality and efficiency of computational resources and strengthen the country's capabilities in core technologies such as AI chips, said officials and experts.官员和专家表示，中国正在加快建设国家综合计算能力平台，旨在提高计算资源的质量和效率，加强国家在人工智能芯片等核心技术方面的能力。As the backbone of AI development, computing power has become the battleground for global technological supremacy, and China is charging ahead with unprecedented momentum despite challenges, they said.他们表示，作为人工智能发展的支柱，计算能力已经成为全球技术霸权的战场，尽管面临挑战，中国正以前所未有的势头向前迈进。The move is China's latest plan to scale up the digital infrastructure that is key to buoying its AI economy and to hone its technological prowess in strategic industries.此举是中国扩大数字基础设施的最新计划，数字基础设施对于提振其人工智能经济和磨练其在战略行业的技术实力至关重要。Vice-Minister of Industry and Information Technology Xiong Jijun emphasized the government's commitment to "guiding the orderly development of computing infrastructure and improving the supply quality of computing resources" at the 2025 China Computational Power Conference, which concluded on Sunday in Datong, Shanxi province. 上周日，在山西大同市闭幕的2025中国计算能力大会上，工业和信息化部副部长熊吉军强调，政府致力于“引导计算基础设施有序发展，提高计算资源供应质量”。He emphasized the need to accelerate breakthroughs in key technologies such as graphic processing units and algorithms for large language models, which are crucial for sharpening China's competitive edge in AI.他强调，需要加快在图形处理单元和大型语言模型算法等关键技术上的突破，这对提高中国在人工智能领域的竞争优势至关重要。Roughly defined as the ability to process data, computing power includes technologies such as chips and data centers to support information processing, data storage and network capacity in the digital economy era.计算能力大致定义为处理数据的能力，包括芯片和数据中心等技术，以支持数字经济时代的信息处理、数据存储和网络容量。Wu Hequan, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that computing power is an invisible yet indispensable force behind any AI-driven metamorphosis, and that without enough computing power to process data, it is impossible to support large-scale AI applications.中国工程院院士吴贺铨表示，计算能力是任何人工智能驱动的蜕变背后一股无形但不可或缺的力量，没有足够的计算能力来处理数据，就不可能支持大规模的人工智能应用。"Every yuan ($0.14) invested in computing power drives 3 to 4 yuan in GDP growth," Wu said. "In the global race for AI leadership, expanding computing power supply is critical." “在计算能力上每投入1元（0.14美元），就能带动3到4元的GDP增长，”吴说。“在争夺人工智能领导地位的全球竞争中，扩大计算能力供应至关重要。”China's total computing power has been growing at approximately 30 percent annually, driven largely by soaring demand for intelligent computing fueled by AI applications, data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology showed.工业和信息化部的数据显示，受人工智能应用推动的智能计算需求飙升的推动，中国的总计算能力以每年约30%的速度增长。Rao Shaoyang, director of the strategic development research institute of the China Telecom Research Institute, said, "AI is expected to contribute over 11 trillion yuan to China's GDP by 2035."中国电信研究院战略发展研究所所长饶少阳表示：“到2035年，人工智能预计将为中国的GDP贡献超过11万亿元人民币。”"That will account for 4 to 5 percent of the total economy," Rao said. "This growth could multiply computing power demand by 10 or even a hundred times." “这将占到经济总量的4%到5%，”Rao说。“这种增长可能会使计算能力需求增加10倍甚至100倍。”To address this demand, China is building a nationwide computing power platform that integrates resources across regions and industries. The platform, described as a "unified network" for computing power scheduling, already includes subplatforms from 10 provinces and municipalities such as Shanxi, Liaoning, Jiangsu and Shanghai, according to the ministry.为了满足这一需求，中国正在建设一个全国性的计算能力平台，整合跨地区和行业的资源。据该部称，该平台被描述为计算能力调度的“统一网络”，已经包括来自山西、辽宁、江苏和上海等10个省市的子平台。Its intelligent scheduling capabilities allow efficient matching of supply and demand. For example, enabling businesses in eastern China to leverage idle computing resources in western China, significantly reducing costs and improving efficiency.其智能调度功能允许有效匹配供需。例如，使华东地区的企业能够利用西部地区的闲置计算资源，从而显著降低成本，提高效率。In one notable case, a Beijing-based healthcare company completed an AI computing task using resources from the Ningxia Hui autonomous region at a cost of just 10,000 yuan, compared with the typical expense of over 2 million yuan for purchasing and maintaining servers.在一个值得注意的案例中，北京一家医疗保健公司利用宁夏回族自治区的资源完成了一项人工智能计算任务，成本仅为1万元，而购买和维护服务器的典型费用超过200万元。According to Wei Liang, vice-president of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, more than 100 computing service providers have joined the platform, along with over 1,000 registered enterprise users, while nearly 100 large language models have been connected, providing diverse online services to more than 1,000 developers.据中国信息通信技术研究院副院长魏亮介绍，已有100多家计算服务提供商加入了该平台，以及1000多名注册企业用户，同时连接了近100种大型语言模型，为1000多名开发人员提供了多样化的在线服务。Meanwhile, Chinese AI chip companies are also working hard to beef up their prowess in graphic processing units, prompting their stocks to be favored by investors, as the US company Nvidia's H20 chips face weak demand in China.与此同时，中国人工智能芯片公司也在努力增强其在图形处理单元方面的实力，这促使它们的股票受到投资者的青睐，因为美国公司英伟达（Nvidia）的H20芯片在中国面临疲软需求。On Monday, Chinese AI chip stocks continued their strong upward trajectory, with Cambricon Technologies emerging as a potential challenger to beverage giant Kweichow Moutai for the title of the highest-priced stock on the A-share market.周一，中国人工智能芯片股票继续强劲上涨，寒武岩科技（Cambricon Technologies）成为饮料巨头贵州茅台（贵州茅台）在a股市场上价格最高股票头衔的潜在挑战者。Cambricon closed at 1,384.93 yuan per share on Monday, surging 11.4 percent for the day. Since mid-July, its share price has more than doubled, and it has skyrocketed by more than 562 percent since September 2024. The company now trails only Moutai, which ended the session at 1,490.33 yuan per share.寒武纪周一收于每股1384.93元，当日上涨11.4%。自7月中旬以来，其股价上涨了一倍多，自2024年9月以来，其股价飙升了562%以上。该公司目前仅次于茅台，该股收于1,490.33元。The AI chip intellectual property products of Cambricon, which was founded in 2016, have powered smartphones and data server chips, including those made by Huawei Technologies Co and Alibaba Group. 寒武纪成立于2016年，其人工智能芯片知识产权产品已为智能手机和数据服务器芯片提供支持，包括华为技术有限公司和阿里巴巴集团生产的芯片。Chen Tianshi, co-founder and CEO of Cambricon Technologies, said in an earlier interview with China Daily that "there is rigid demand for AI chips in China. We don't worry about orders, as long as our technologies are strong enough".寒武纪科技联合创始人兼首席执行官陈天石在早些时候接受《中国日报》采访时表示，“中国对人工智能芯片存在刚性需求。我们不担心订单，只要我们的技术足够强大。”Pan Helin, a member of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's Expert Committee for Information and Communication Economy, said, "The Nvidia incident offers a strategic window for ambitious Chinese AI chip designers to expand their market share."工业和信息化部信息通信经济专家委员会成员潘鹤林表示：“英伟达事件为雄心勃勃的中国人工智能芯片设计师提供了一个战略窗口，以扩大他们的市场份额。”l integrated national computing power platform n.国家综合计算能力平台/ˈɪntɪɡreɪtɪd ˈnæʃnəl kəmˈpjuːtɪŋ ˈpaʊə ˈplætfɔːm/l AI chips n.人工智能芯片/eɪ aɪ tʃɪps/

Hone: How Purposeful Leaders Defy Drift by Geoff Tuff, Steven Goldbach https://www.amazon.com/Hone-Purposeful-Leaders-Defy-Drift/dp/1394304536 A clarion call to business leaders to recast their conception of leadership and strategy execution to meet the demands of the modern world Have a problem with your organization's strategy in an era of accelerating, exponential change? Modern business orthodoxy has an easy answer: transform it. Hone: How Purposeful Leaders Defy Drift argues this thinking is itself in need of an overhaul. Rather than devote time to expensive, long, and often unsuccessful transformations, leaders should instead focus on holistically designing and honing the management systems that are the nervous systems of their businesses. They can take a cue from chefs and other artisans and hone their organizations. After all, honing doesn't sharpen knives; it realigns a knife's steel to its original position. Choosing and honing the set of management systems that promote an organization's desired outcomes (and uninstalling them when they are past their prime) is one of the most important things a business leader can do―and is just as much art as science. The third in a trilogy of business strategy books written by renowned strategists and two-time Thinkers50–nominated authors Steven Goldbach and Geoff Tuff, this book explains why and how to optimally hone your organization's execution of its strategy, with highlights including: The importance of recognizing and taking action to defy the drift that often afflicts organizations undergoing massive transformation Guidelines on how to design and continually reshape effective management systems to influence organizational and individual behaviors Reframing the job of CEOs to be Chief System Designers for their organizations Reflections on how honing principles within organizations can be used on broader societal challenges such as addressing climate change via the energy transition Engaging, pragmatic, and inspiring, Hone: How Purposeful Leaders Defy Drift earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of all private, public, and nonprofit sector professionals seeking to bring new sources of advantage to their organizations in a time of accelerating uncertainty and exponential change.About the author Geoff Tuff is a globally recognized thought leader and widely sought-after speaker and writer on the subjects of strategy, growth, innovation, and adapting business models to deal with change. He and his co-author, Steve Goldbach, have written two bestselling books – Detonate (Wiley 2018), and Provoke (Wiley 2021). Their latest book, Hone: How Purposeful Leaders Defy Drift, will be released on September 30, 2025. Both Detonate and Provoke were recognized by Thinkers50, the leading authority on management thinking, with award nominations for strategy and leadership. Geoff's writing has also appeared in journals such as Harvard Business Review and MIT Sloan Management Review and as a regular contribution to HuffPost. Finally, he and Steve are two of the hosts of "The Provocateurs", a monthly leadership podcast based on the book Provoke.

It might seem counterintuitive, but intentionally tuning into what's distracting you can actually help strengthen your ability to focus.  In today's guided practice, meditation teacher Toby Sola introduces what he calls a “concentration algorithm.” This practice will help you identify which type of sensory experience you are naturally drawn to, and then give you a structure for how to focus on it, so that you can quickly attain deep concentration. Toby Sola is dedicated to helping you create a feedback loop between your meditation practice and your ability to make the world a better place. Toby has been teaching meditation for two decades and has refined his craft through years of monastic training and close collaboration with the world-renowned teacher Shinzen Young. He is an award-winning designer and founder of the Brightmind Meditation app. Note that this practice includes long pauses of complete silence to give you time to spend in contemplation. If you want more time, feel free to pause the recording as you go.  The transcription of this guided meditation will be online at Mindful.org next week.  Stay curious, stay inspired.

There's a time for everything.  However, while we move through time, hope assists us immensely particularly in times of uncertainty and challenge.  Hope (def) –  is looking toward the future with a confident expectation; moves beyond wishing for something to happen – it is rooted in faith in God and firm belief in God's fulfillment of His promises (e.g., His redemptive plan, the coming of the Messiah, the resurrection of the dead, or the establishment of God's kingdom.)   Believe! Let God fill you with hope and then hold fast to it!  Keep trusting God's Word as you continue to hope in Him and His promises.

English statesman Francis Bacon once wrote, “Money is a great servant but a bad master.”If we don't learn to manage money wisely to take control of it, it will soon master us. It's one way or the other. Today, Bob Lotich tells us how to be the master and not the servant when it comes to money—and he makes it pretty clear, as well.Bob Lotich is a high-performance financial coach and Certified Educator in Personal Finance (CEPF®) and has been named a top-20 influencer in personal finance. His wife, Linda, and their award-winning website, SeedTime.com, as well as the SeedTime Money Podcast, have reached over 50 million people in the past decade. He is also the author of Simple Money, Rich Life: Achieve True Financial Freedom and Design a Life of Eternal Impact. The Wake-Up Call: A Breakdown Leads to BreakthroughBob's story, which began in 2002 when his car broke down while he was on his way to deposit a paycheck, is one that many can relate to. He described how that moment of crisis led to a deep spiritual awakening about finances and stewardship.Unfortunately, the car breaking down prevented him from depositing his paycheck and paying rent on time. Facing the stress of a possible late fee he couldn't afford, Bob realized that his financial life was on shaky ground. He describes this moment as a "house of cards" that collapsed.In his frustration, Bob prayed for wisdom, and that simple prayer became the catalyst for a profound change. God responded, leading Bob to learn about biblical stewardship and practical financial management.Biblical Wisdom: Earning, Saving, and GivingAs Bob delved into the Bible, he came across a quote from John Wesley that changed his financial perspective: "Earn all you can, save all you can, and give all you can." This idea, combined with scriptural truths, inspired him to view money not as a burden but as a tool for good.Bob reflected on passages like:Proverbs 13:11: "Gathering money little by little makes it grow."1 Timothy 6:17-19: Paul's admonition to the rich to be generous.Proverbs 22:7: The borrower is slave to the lender, which motivated Bob to eliminate debt.These verses reinforced the idea that managing money well is not about hoarding wealth but using it for God's purposes.Financial Unity in MarriageBob also emphasized the power of financial unity in marriage. Once he and his wife Linda aligned their financial goals with biblical principles, their relationship strengthened. They not only eliminated stress but also achieved impressive financial milestones, like paying off their house by the age of 31. Bob's story reminds us that peace in one's finances can be a unifying force in marriage, helping couples move forward together more quickly.The Four Keys to Earning MoreBob shared four essential principles for increasing earnings in today's digital age:Operate within God-given gifts and passions: Work aligned with your gifts gives you an "unfair advantage."Continue learning and developing your skills: Hone your craft to glorify God.Solve significant problems: You're compensated in proportion to the size of the problem you solve.Work where demand is high: Identify where there's a need and meet it.These principles guide believers to increase their earnings while keeping their hearts focused on God's kingdom.The Joy of GivingOne of the most impactful parts of Bob's message was his perspective on giving. He and his wife created a "seed account," setting aside money each month specifically for giving. By praying and waiting for opportunities, giving became not just a duty, but a joyful and fun part of their lives. This practice reminds us of the joy Jesus spoke of when He said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35).Enjoying God's ProvisionFinally, Bob encouraged believers to enjoy the financial blessings God provides. He highlighted the importance of gratitude and appreciating what we have. Whether earning, saving, or giving, we can find joy in every aspect of financial stewardship.Bob's journey teaches us that financial freedom isn't about accumulating wealth for ourselves but about managing what God has entrusted to us with wisdom and generosity. We can design a life of eternal impact by earning, saving, giving, and enjoying God's provision.If you're looking for more practical tips and biblical wisdom, Bob's book Simple Money, Rich Life: Achieve True Financial Freedom and Design a Life of Eternal Impact is a great resource to guide you on this journey.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a friend who is getting ready to retire as a union electrician and is really upset about losing $100,000 when the tariff news broke. I tried to tell him that the money would be made back once the markets recovered. Is my understanding correct that he will eventually get that money back? I currently have $55,000 in a Roth IRA and $37,000 in a Traditional IRA. I'm about 30 years from retirement and contribute $200 per month to my Roth. Does it make sense to roll over the traditional IRA funds into the Roth? Would it be a good financial move for me?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Simple Money, Rich Life: Achieve True Financial Freedom and Design a Life of Eternal Impact by Bob LotichSeedtime.comWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

In two-and-a-half months since the inauguration of President Donald Trump, a series of executive orders and other initiatives have attempted systematically to eliminate and defund some of the federal agencies responsible for the distribution of federal money to museums, libraries and other organisations. The Art Newspaper's editor-in-chief in the Americas, Ben Sutton, joins Ben Luke to discuss what is being seen as an authoritarian and ideologically driven attempt to control cultural activities in taxpayer-funded institutions, restrict free speech and—to use the administration's own term—“rewrite history”. We also discuss the effect of the economic chaos caused by President Trump's seesawing on trade tariffs in the past week. That same topic is discussed by Clare McAndrew of Arts Economics, the writer of the Art Basel and UBS Art Market Report 2025. The report's key finding is that global art sales declined by 12% in 2024 and McAndrew discusses this stark statistic and other aspects of the survey. And this episode's Works of the Week are by Mainie Jellett and Evie Hone, the two artists in an exhibition subtitled The Art of Friendship at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin. Jellett and Hone were key figures in Irish Modernism, and we talk to one of the curators of the exhibition, Brendan Rooney, about Jellett's painting, Decoration (1923) and Hone's stained-glass image of a chalice (1948-52), a study for her most famous piece, the East Window of Eton College Chapel in Berkshire, UK.The Art Basel and UBS Art Market Report 2025, theartmarket.artbasel.com.Mainie Jellett and Evie Hone: The Art of Friendship, National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin, until 10 August.Subscription offer: enjoy a three-month digital subscription to The Art Newspaper for just £3/$3/€3.
