Together, they embark on a riveting journey through the legendary yet often mythologised world of the early Special Air Service (SAS).Unpacking the Myths: Tony shares his insights into the life of Reg Seekings, one of the first members of the SAS, challenging the negative portrayals that have overshadowed his legacy.

Tony reveals how these early influences contributed to the development of Seekings as a soldier and leader.Leadership in Action:As Seekings rises through the ranks of the SAS, Tony highlights his unique leadership style—one that combined bravery, decisiveness, and a deep sense of camaraderie. Hear about the significant operations he led and how his actions earned him the respect of both his men and commanding officers.The Human Side of War: Tony recounts poignant stories that illustrate Seekings' compassion and humour amidst the horrors of war, including his response to tragic losses among his comrades.Guest Information:Get Tony Rushmer's book "SAS Duty Before Glory" through the History Rage Bookshop at https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10120/9781789296723Follow Tony on Twitter: @rushmerpr.

With the Draft coming up first, Vic and Neil look back to the structure of the process, how players selected were communicated with, the effect of the WHA in the early 1970's and whether social media and instant communication adds additional players on current day draftees.#NHLWraparound #ShortShifts #NYCentric #StanleyCupdate #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #HumanSideoftheStory #

People used to think fraud was something that happened in the shadows, rare, distant, and mostly affecting big companies. But after talking to PJ Rohall, it's clear that fraud is evolving fast, and it's showing up in places most of us don't even think to look. In this episode, I sit down with PJ Rohall, Head of Fraud Strategy and Education at SEON and co-founder of About Fraud. PJ's work is all about staying ahead of scammers and helping businesses and individuals understand how fraud actually works. From synthetic identities and AI-powered scams to account takeovers and refund fraud, he breaks it all down in a way that's both eye-opening and surprisingly accessible. We talk about how fraudsters think, what makes people vulnerable, and why collaboration is one of the best defenses we have. PJ shares practical tips, real-world examples, and some of the patterns he's seeing that everyone should be aware of. Whether you run a business or just want to better protect yourself online, this conversation might change the way you think about trust, technology, and the digital world we live in. Show Notes: [00:52] PJ Rohal is a co-founder of About Fraud and Fraud Fight Club, which is our in conference, in-person experience. He started that back in 2017, but his fraud prevention journey started back in 2011. [02:45] He began studying finance and business. He had some mental health issues and was open to trying something different when he saw a job for a fraud analyst. [06:22] His experience transferred really well into the entrepreneurial journey. [11:13] It's in the best interest of everyone to collaborate and share tips and tricks when trying to prevent fraud. [13:05] Everybody is open or vulnerable to being a victim of a scam. There shouldn't be a stigma around it. [14:51] It's powerful to see even tech savvy people being victims of scams. [17:20] How a contextually relevant scam could actually get you. [21:16] It's PJ's dream to get outside of his bubble and help educate the community the best he can. [23:43] Two-factor authentication codes have changed, because they give warnings and instructions for the consumer now. [28:45] People with platforms could get the word out about the risk of scams. [34:30] Getting fighting scams to the front and center is a challenge. [36:57] Handling calls from people who've lost large amounts of money in a scam. Having a psychologist or people who understand human behavior would really help with this journey. [40:39] Banks and financial institutions are starting to think differently about handling these issues. [41:05] There's also a lot of technology on the market that's designed for scams.

On this special two-part episode of the HX Podcast, I'm so excited to be joined by two of my colleagues from CMS, Mike and Reggie. We dive deep into the human experience of artificial intelligence, starting not with the technology itself, but with the people who use it. Mike and Reggie share their personal histories and what drives them, from a passion for service to the constant search for a better work-life balance. We explore how so many of us have been taught that "hustle equals worth," and how AI, when used wisely, presents an opportunity to reclaim our time for more meaningful human interactions. My guests offer fantastic, practical advice for anyone feeling overwhelmed and wondering where to even begin with AI. We then tackle the big questions head-on, discussing the common fears around AI replacing jobs and the complex topic of AI consciousness, ultimately exploring what it truly means to be human in an age of rapidly advancing technology.

As Brad Marchand skated with the Stanley Cup as a member of the Florida Panthers, a former player with some very similar characteristics to Marchand is in the role of trying to move the Anaheim Ducks from outsider to contender.Pat Verbeek enjoyed a 20-year playing career after being drafted by the New Jersey Devils in 1982. He's scored 500 goals, won a Stanley Cup and, as Neil points out, displays the same work ethic as a GM as he did as player. That drive helped the Devils to their first playoff berth in 1988. Now, his immediate task is to build the Ducks into a playoff team, something missing in Anaheim since 2018.X: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #ShortShifts #NYCentric #StanleyCupdate #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #HumanSideoftheStory #PatVerbeek #SteveYzerman #AnaheimDucks #DetroitRedWings #NewJerseyDevils #HartfordWhalers #NewYorkRangers #DallasStars #BrianGionta #Jean-SebastienGiguere #KenHolland #PatrickKane #KeithTkachuk #PeterBondra #PatrickMarleau #PatrickRoy #WayneGretzky #KyleDavidson #EricTulsky #KyleDubas #JoelQuenneville

Known more as a long-time analyst for the Vancouver Canucks, John Garrett's career as a professional goaltender was a modest one played out over 12 seasons, 6 teams and two leagues. As often happens, however, hockey has an odd way of connecting individuals. One previously existed between "Cheech," as Garrett is known and Mr. Hockey, Gordie Howe, going back to their days in the World Hockey Association. Now, after more than 45 years, there's a second connection - one Garrett will enjoy far more than the first...X: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #ShortShifts #NYCentric #StanleyCupdate #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #HumanSideoftheStory #CalderCup #GordieHowe #MarkHowe #MartyHowe #JohnGarrett #VancouverCanucks #HartfordWhalers #DenisHerron #WHA #BirminghamBulls #MontrealCanadiens

In times of uncertainty, knowing what your business is worth—and how to protect or grow that value—can feel elusive. You are never sure what business you are really in. What should you do? How can you retain the value you have created and prepare for the next growth phase, or even the exit strategy? On this recent episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dave Bookbinder. Dave is a business valuation expert whose groundbreaking work focuses on an often-overlooked truth: your people are your most valuable asset. Dave, the author of The New ROI: Return on Individuals, joined me to unpack how business owners can better understand, manage, and maximize the value of their companies—especially in a rapidly changing business environment. His key message? Valuation isn't just a number. It's a reflection of leadership, culture, and strategic clarity. Let me repeat that:  Your business's value is a reflection of leadership, culture, and strategic clarity. What can Dave teach you about how to build and protect that value? The Human Side of Valuation Dave's experience spans thousands of valuation engagements across industries. And while balance sheets highlight assets like patents and trademarks, human capital rarely makes the cut. “Every CEO says their people are their most valuable asset,” Dave points out, “but where do they show up on the balance sheet? They don't.” That gap sparked his first book, The New ROI, which explores the critical link between culture, engagement, and enterprise value. His second, The New ROI: Going Behind the Numbers, draws from his award-winning podcast, Behind the Numbers, which focuses on how leadership and culture truly impact business performance. You will totally enjoy watching our video of the podcast here. Common Valuation Mistakes Dave shared some of the biggest pitfalls business owners face when it comes to valuing their company: Relying on rules of thumb: “Back-of-the-napkin” valuations based on hearsay can be wildly misleading. Dave recounted a client who declined a generous acquisition offer assuming better ones would follow. Years later, the business couldn't command even half that valuation. Tax-driven financials: Many entrepreneurs minimize income to reduce taxes, only to struggle during a sale. Buyers don't take your word for “adjusted EBITDA”—they want clean, auditable numbers. Unrealistic projections: Over-optimistic forecasts, especially those shaped like a hockey stick, often destroy credibility with buyers. “They're buying the future,” Dave says. “And if your projections seem disconnected from market realities, they'll discount for risk.” De-Risking Your Business to Maximize Value Buyers and investors are risk-averse. That's why Dave emphasizes the need to "de-risk" your business: Clean financial statements: Avoid running personal expenses through the business. Have your books reviewed or audited by a CPA. Strong management team: If the business can't run without you, it's not scalable—or sellable. Documented processes: Institutional knowledge should live in systems, not just in people's heads. “If your business can't survive you getting hit by a bus,” Dave quips, “you don't have a sellable business.” Exit Planning is a Process, Not an Event Whether you're transferring ownership to a family member or preparing for an acquisition, Dave urges owners to think ahead. “Selling a business is like selling a house,” he explains. “You need to get an appraisal, clean it up, and understand what similar businesses are selling for.” He also warned that poorly integrated acquisitions often fail—not due to valuation issues, but because of clashing cultures. “Seventy-five to ninety percent of deals miss their synergy targets because they ignore people and culture,” he says. Why Culture is Core to Company Value As a corporate anthropologist, I know firsthand how culture shapes performance. Dave agrees. “It's not that successful companies have a good culture—it's that good culture drives success,” he said. When leaders overlook how work gets done—or try to impose a new cultural model without understanding the old one—they risk alienating key people and destroying value. Culture is the operating system of the business. Your People Are Your Value Dave's work offers a refreshing, human-centric view of business valuation. Whether you're growing, planning an exit, or considering acquisitions, the lesson is clear: your people, your culture, and your credibility are the real ROI. If you're curious to learn more, check out Dave's books on Amazon: The New ROI: Return on Individuals The New ROI: Going Behind the Numbers The Valuation Toolbox for Business Owners and Their Advisors And tune into his award-winning podcast, Behind the Numbers. Final Thought In today's volatile market, it's not just about numbers—it's about narratives. The story you tell buyers, investors, or the next generation about your company must be grounded in reality, powered by culture, and led by people who are truly your greatest asset.
