Warbird Radio to Feature ICAS President John Cudahy on the Popularity of Vintage Military Aircraft at AirshowsWARBIRD RADIO - On this episode Warbird Radio is set to welcome John Cudahy, President of the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS), to discuss what the latest data reveals about the popularity of vintage military aircraft at airshows across the United States. The conversation will focus on findings from the 2023 Spectator Survey conducted by ICAS, which indicates that static warbird displays have seen a 4.7% decline in spectator interest since 2018, and when you factor in the 2000-2016 average, they've fallen 7.2% overall. Warbirds in general saw a bump of 3.4% in 2018 over the 2000-2016 average but have since fallen from 44.7% to 42.5% in 2023. Despite this dip, warbirds remain the third most popular attraction at airshows according to Cudahy, demonstrating their continued significance in the airshow industry. However, this downward trend raises important questions: What does it mean for the future of warbirds at airshows, and how can operators work to reverse it ahead of the 2025 US Spectator Survey?Joining the discussion is Dik Daso, Executive Director of the Air Force Historical Foundation and former Curator of Modern Military at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum. Daso brings an optimistic perspective and fresh ideas on how to reinvigorate public interest in warbirds. He will also serve as the featured speaker at this year's National Warbird Operators Conference (NWOC) in Dallas, where these critical topics will be explored in greater depth.Warbird Radio host Matt Jolley points out an ironic challenge facing warbird operators: the very thing they often find frustrating about airshows—spectators running up to touch their aircraft—could actually be a golden opportunity. Daso points out that tactile learning—even smell—is a huge part of the way children create memories. Jolley adds that the Spectator Survey supports this, with data showing RC airplanes (something accessible to young folks) have risen in popularity by over 10% since 2018. Modern military interest is up over 15% as well, reflecting the fact that things people can relate to drive popularity.Jolley, who is not only the host of Warbird Radio but also a top U.S.-based airshow announcer, brings an industry insider's perspective to this topic as well. He recalls how, as a kid, the smell of oil and avgas at an airshow would stick with him long after the engines cooled down, and how standing under the wing of a B-17 gave him a sense of history no book ever could. It's moments like those that forge lasting connections, and with fewer living veterans to share firsthand experiences, it is now up to operators and enthusiasts to bridge the gap and keep these stories alive for new generations. The key, Jolley argues, is to adapt storytelling methods to modern audiences, engaging them in ways that resonate and ensure these historic aircraft remain relevant.With the next ICAS Spectator Survey scheduled for 2025, now is the time for the warbird community to mobilize. The hard work of engaging audiences could yield tangible results in next year's data, helping secure the place of warbirds at airshows for years to come.To register for NWOC and be part of the conversation, click the link below.

A few weeks ago I did an episode about how wedding business owners are being sold a single version of luxury and told it's the only version available. It struck a chord with many of my clients and others who reached out, because I busted this myth that if you want to find success you have to do it a certain way - usually represented the way the people on top have done it themselves.  I think that road to success is well-paved and well-travelled by people who want the same kind of success. Million-dollar budgets, Lake Como and the Amalfi Coast every weekend, clients who all look like models.  But I've talked with thousands of wedding professionals who have a different version of what success can look like, of what it means to build a business they're proud of, one that gets them what they want in life. And their ideal clients look different too. Just like there's more than one version of success, and more than one version of luxury, there's also more than one version of an ideal client. Sure, we all want couples who pay higher prices - but what else should we look for? And how do we speak to them in our marketing and in our sales process? Today I bring in Katy, my wife and business partner - and ideal client expert - to talk shop about ICAs.

     On this show we welcome back Zane McNeill to discuss their new edited collection: Building Multispecies Resistance Against Exploitation: Stories from the Frontline of Labor and Animal Rights (published by Peter Lang, 2024). This incredible collection of contributions from activists and scholars about the structures of violence and oppression that are shared by human and non-human labourers working and dying in necropolitical facilities. The book also asks readers to consider the intersection between class and species, race, gender and other categories of oppression, and the ways that the contemporary Animal Activist Non-profit Sector (AANS) upholds hierarchies in its mission towards animal liberation. There are some powerful examples of successful social and political campaigns that we can draw from and that can help us to build strategic alliances and coalitions between social movements and political subjects.    Zane McNeill is a scholar-activist, 15-year vegan, and National Lawyers Guild's Animal Liberation Committee chair. They have worked closely with the Institute of Critical Animal Studies (ICAS) and have published chapters in ICAS collections, including Vegans on Speciesism and Ableism: Ecoability Voices for Disability and Animal Justice and Expanding the Critical Animal Studies Imagination: Essays on Solidarity and Total Liberation. He has also edited Queer and Trans Voices: Achieving Liberation Through Consistent Anti-Oppression, Vegan Entanglements: Dismantling Racial and Carceral Capitalism, and Building Multispecies Resistance Against Exploitation: Stories from the Frontlines of Labor and Animal Rights.     The music we played on the show:  Álmatlanság by Magashegyi Underground L by Laveda I exist, I exist, I exist by Flatsound

MILANO (ITALPRESS) - “L'ecosistema bancario ha fatto moltissimo per quanto riguarda la considerazione del rischio climatico, e rientra nell'ambito di una politica comunitaria che sappiamo intende, all'interno del suo green deal, ridurre l'impatto dei cambiamenti climatici, anche attraverso una strategia di canalizzazione dei flussi finanziari verso le imprese che sono maggiormente disponibili, e che quindi consentono di realizzare questo obiettivo strategico. L'invito da parte nostra è quello che le imprese siano più consapevoli della loro situazione anche dal punto di vista del rischio climatico perché questi rischi entreranno a far parte delle loro valutazioni” .

Here at IIAS, the upcoming edition of our flagship publication The Newsletter (June 2024, #98) comes out next month, just in time for the ICAS 13 conference in Surabaya, Indonesia. This edition of The Newsletter is meant to engage in various ways with the conference theme, “Crossways of Knowledge.” The special Focus section of this issue presents a collection of articles by authors from the Indigenous Ta-u community of Lanyu Island off the coast of Taiwan. Echoing the theme of maritime connections so central to this iteration of ICAS 13, the authors of The Focus reflect on multiple dimensions of Ta-u life, including traditional practices like fishing and boat-building as well as contemporary challenges posed by tourism, migration, and ecological disruption. As a teaser for the Indigenous collection in the upcoming issue, we asked two authors – both members of the Ta-u community – to come on the podcast and give our audience a sense of the Ta-u language through its stories and poetry. In this episode, Syaman Lamuran gives a brief introduction before Syaman Rapongan, an elder of the community, offers two recitations: first, some ceremonial words spoken during the Summoning Flying Fish ritual; and second, a poem reflecting the importance of boats and fish to the Ta-u culture. Finally, Syaman Lamuran returns to reflect and translate these recitations into English. If you'd like to know more about traditional Ta-u culture and contemporary Ta-u lives, be sure to pick up Issue #98 of The Newsletter. In addition to Syaman Lamuran and Syaman Rapongan, we'd also like to thank Eric Clark, Annika Pissin, and Huei-Min Tsai, who co-edited the upcoming Focus section in collaboration with members of the Ta-u community.

“Installation has been overlooked by customers who often focus on the features and the capabilities of the technology,” says Mirko Notarangelo of ICAS. “They assume that it will work just fine, or they can do it by themselves. But the reality is more complex, so proper installation requires expertise and experience to ensure that everything functions as expected as it's supposed to be and so by experts because they are familiar with the best practices and have the best knowledge you know to navigate potential issues challenges and so on.” Mirko is challenging the conventional practice, in our industry, where often channel companies, VARs and so on, have rolled out their own truck to do an install. Smart Premise Implementations, Expert Implementation In this podcast, Mirko argues that the Channel Partner community may have overlooked installation as an expert service that can be resold verses being a task. As we move forward, the gap between expert implementation, an exact installation done to fixed specifications, instead of a more informal installation, where manufacturer requirements can be easily missed. ICAS works with VARS, MSPs and System Integrators to provide exacting installations as a service, a service that can be resold. Visit https://www.icascorp.com/network-cabling/

Connecting veganism to other justice causes is critical to our success and our guest today recognized this at a very young age. Zane McNeill is a scholar-activist, chair of the National Lawyers Guild's Animal Liberation Committee, and was the co-manager of the collective Right for Animal Rights Activists. They have worked closely with the Institute of Critical Animal Studies (ICAS) and have published chapters in ICAS collections, including Vegans on Speciesism and Ableism: Ecoability Voices for Disability and Animal Justice and Expanding the Critical Animal Studies Imagination: Essays on Solidarity and Total Liberation. They have also edited Queer and Trans Voices: Achieving Liberation Through Consistent Anti-Oppression, Vegan Entanglements: Dismantling Racial and Carceral Capitalism, and Building Multispecies Resistance Against Exploitation: Stories from the Frontlines of Labor and Animal Rights (forthcoming, Peter Lang Publishing).Zane will help us to unpack new terms like “consistent anti-oppression” and “total liberation” as well as “carceral veganism” where animal activists align with agencies to criminalize and deport people in marginalized communities of color when we should be targeting the system of oppression itself. They discuss the parallels of body autonomy issues for humans and non-humans. Zane addresses everything from micro aggressions experienced by animal activists within the movement to larger, structural issues of oppression. Join us for this important discussion.Resources:Zane's Book Vegan Entanglements Hope for the Animals PodcastCompassionate LivingCompassionate Living's YouTube Page

This episode features a conversation about political geology with Adam Bobbette, who serves as a Lecturer in Political Geology at the University of Glasgow. After studying architecture and landscape at the University of Toronto, Adam earned his PhD in geography from Cambridge. His research examines the intersections between politics and environmental and earth sciences, with a special regional focus on Indonesia. His new book is The Pulse of the Earth, which was published in 2023 by Duke University Press. As many listeners of this podcast already know, the next meeting of our flagship conference, the International Convention of Asia Scholars, or ICAS 13, will take place in Surabaya, Indonesia from July 28th through August 1st, 2024. In the run-up to that conference, we are hoping to familiarize our network with the local Javanese context to enrich the ICAS experience and deepen our engagement with the city. This episode is part of that project. As you'll hear, Adam's work offers a unique and transdisciplinary view onto questions of science, imperialism, Indonesian cosmologies, and contemporary politics, all while introducing listeners to geologic features of the Javanese landscape.

As listeners may know, this year marked the 10th edition of the ICAS Book Prize (IBP). The prize was established in 2003 by our flagship conference, the International Convention of Asia Scholars (ICAS), to recognize outstanding publications in the field of Asian Studies. The award brings wider visibility to the latest and most impressive books, and it has become one of the most prestigious book prizes in the discipline. Since its inception, the IBP competition has expanded in many ways. It now includes various editions in multiple languages, including French, Chinese, German, Spanish and Portuguese, Japanese, and Korean. Beyond books, the English Language Edition also includes Dissertation Awards in both social sciences and humanities categories to recognize the groundbreaking work of recently minted PhDs. The competition now also includes the “Best Article on Global Hong Kong Studies” award. For all editions and prizes, IIAS depends on partner institutions who organize and/or sponsor the competitions. Along with the many colleagues who serve on our reading committees, they make the IBP what it is, and we are grateful for their work.

Leah Power is the Executive Vice President of the Institute of Canadian Agencies and the lead on the development of the Qualification Based Selection For Agencies. This episode picks up from the conversation with Scott Knox, the President and CEO of the Institute of Canadian Agencies, and explores the solutions for clients wanting a better way to select an advertising agency or any type.  Leah shares how as an agency finance professional, the pitch process was the thing she most wanted to change, and how the Qualification Based Selection (QBS) process, used in the USA for the selection of engineering, architecture and other professional infrastructure services became the basis of the ICAs solution. We discuss the principles underpinning the QBS process and the pitching myths that it addresses and busts in developing a process that works better for agencies, but more importantly, for their clients.

Asta is the largest third-party manager of Lloyd's Syndicates by quite a long way. As such, today's guest Lorraine Harfitt CEO of Asta, almost certainly has a better view of what types of new business entrepreneurs and major insurers alike are looking to set up. She also has the best view of Lloyd's changing appetites around what type of businesses it is looking to allow into - and keep out of - the marketplace. So this podcast is a great temperature gauge on the Lloyd's and wider international insurance and reinsurance markets. I'm happy to report that I found Lorraine full of optimism and enthusiasm, with a long and diverse pipeline of business in prospect on many fronts, be it new Syndicates in boxes, Captive Syndicates, traditional syndicates, other alternative vehicles or MGAs. As Lorraine puts it, there is always a fear that the appeal of the Lloyd's and London Market may one day wane. On this showing there is no evidence of this happening any time soon. Lorraine is a an industry professional of vast experience who has worked her way from the Lloyd's Policy Signing Office in Chatham all the way up into the heart of the market. She knows this business inside and out, she's great company and this podcast is packed with lots of really nuanced observations. NOTES: Lorraine mentions a Julian. That is of course Julian Tighe, former CEO of Asta and now its Group Director and Chief Commercial Officer at Davies Insurance Services. ICAS, the UK forerunner of the Solvency II regime, stood for Individual Capital Adequacy Standards. LINKS: We thank our naming sponsor AdvantageGo: https://www.advantagego.com/

India Policy Watch #1: What Do Successive Defence Budgets Reveal?Insights on burning policy issues in India— Pranay Kotasthane(An edited version of this article was published in Hindustan Times on 13th Feb)Another defence budget zoomed past us on Feb 1. Since then, analyses have focused on how the defence spending for the coming year departs from the last year. Some have waved a red flag as defence spending has fallen below 2 per cent of GDP for the first time in many years. On the other hand, the defence ministry's post-budget press release emphasised a 44 per cent increase in operational spending, which is expected to “close critical gaps in the combat capabilities and equip the Forces in terms of ammunition, sustenance of weapons & assets, military reserves etc.” The ministry also highlighted that the capital outlay for modernisation and infrastructure development has risen by a seemingly handsome 57 per cent over the last five years. How, then, do we make sense of these conflicting narratives?Comparing allocations with those in the previous year gives us a confusing picture. Every interest group can pull up a number from the budget to suit their pre-formed narrative. Taking a step back from these narratives, this article will show that this was another run-of-the-mill defence budget, just like the previous one was. Nothing in it indicates any significant change in the defence posture. Unlike Japan, which has announced a doubling of its military spending in the next five years, India's approach is about gradually improving the operational efficiency of the armed forces.Looking under the hoodThis article looks at the defence expenditure over the last six budgets to make sense of the numbers. To put numbers into context, let's use an earlier year (FY16). FY16 is a useful reference point as it predates two major developments: China's visibly aggressive posture on the border and the budgetary commitments arising from the One Rank One Pension (OROP) scheme. Three observations follow from such an analysis.One, not only has defence spending fallen as a proportion of GDP, but it has also fallen as a percentage of government expenditure. In other words, defence has slipped in priority relative to non-defence functions (Figure 1). Two, the China challenge hasn't led to any spectacular change in the composition of defence expenditure. Defence spending can be divided into four major components: salaries, pensions, capital outlay, and others. As Figure 2 shows, capital outlay was being squeezed by rising pension expenditure over the last few years. For two consecutive years (FY19 and FY20), more money was spent on pensions than on capital acquisition and modernisation. The balance has now been marginally restored since FY21, after the Galwan crisis flared up.Crucially, the rises in pension and capital expenditures have come at the cost of operational and maintenance expenditures, including ammunition stores (under the Others category). It is hence not surprising that the latest budget is trying to arrest this decline in combat capabilities.Three, this period has been relatively better for the Indian Navy in terms of capital expenditure. Since the procurement of new platforms happens over multiple years, a temporal view is useful in analysing how capital outlay is split between the three armed forces. Figure 3 suggests that the big change in the last four years is in the capital outlay for the Indian Navy, with the FY24 figure having doubled in absolute terms since FY20.The Big PictureBy connecting these dots over the last five years, the picture that emerges is this: the government seems confident that China can be handled without a substantial rise in defence expenditure. The latest budget serves as a bellwether indicator for this claim. It was the first budget of the post-pandemic period, at a time when the economic prospects for India had improved considerably. The government achieved better-than-expected buoyancy in income taxes and GST in the current financial year, while the cooling of global fertilizer prices has led to a decline in the projected subsidy bill. Consequently, the government, for the first time in many years, had some fiscal room to play with. It has used that space to increase the overall capital outlay to Rs 10 lakh crore, almost three times the outlay in 2019-20. Despite this increase in the overall capital outlay, the defence budget resembles the middle overs of a one-day cricket match.From a financial savings perspective, there have been just two important changes over this period in the defence domain. The first was the announcement of the Agnipath scheme. It might reduce the pension burden, but these savings will reflect only after a decade-and-a-half. Other proposals, such as theatre commands, haven't come to fruition yet. The proposal to create a non-lapsable fund for modernisation — a proposal the union government gave an in-principle agreement way back in Feb 2021, still hasn't found a mention in the latest budget.Probably, the defence budget is the wrong place to infer India's strategic posture against China. Perhaps, the government considers other tools of statecraft—diplomatic, economic, or non-conventional—more suitable for the purpose. This point needs deeper reflection. The discussions over the roles of these tools of statecraft currently operate under mistaken assumptions. Attempts at getting India into an anti-China alliance are spurned at the altar of “strategic autonomy”. The opponents seem to assume that India only needs to equip its armed forces with greater firepower. For too long, many parliamentary standing committees and defence organisations have gone hoarse trying to convince the government that defence expenditure should be raised to 3 per cent of GDP. If anything, the change is in the opposite direction.The defence budget trends are a reminder that the government does not prefer using the military instrument to outflank China. At best, it wants to equip the armed forces such that China's incursions can be matched or repulsed. Given that there's no significant increase in allocations for the Navy and the Air Force, it also means that the government is not considering an increased presence in the South China Sea. So, the military is being equipped to plug a vulnerability and not to gain an asymmetric political advantage over China. This line of thinking probably makes sense. There's no point in matching China's defence spending dollar-for-dollar. After all, the Indian armed forces are more adept at fighting at high altitudes. But this line of thinking should also make it apparent that India must develop capabilities in domains other than those involving force to inflict pain on China. The government should build a political consensus that closer relations with China's adversaries are not a matter of choice but an imperative. That we need to double down on economic growth and technological upgrading if we are to constrain China's hand in other domains. It also means that we shouldn't be indiscriminately banning China's investments in India; a better approach would be to make their companies in non-strategic domains more dependent on the Indian market. We will then have more tools in our kit to deploy if the situation on the border worsens. Each of these posture changes needs an updating of our priors and payoffs. For that to happen, it is necessary that the government comes clean about China's incursions. Pretending that all's well might give us false comfort, but they will also dissuade the strategic establishment from confronting the tough trade-offs in non-military domains. Without this pivot, we would merely rely on hope as a strategy. India Policy Watch #2: Through The Looking GlassInsights on burning policy issues in India— RSJWe talk about the arbitrary powers of the state on these pages often. Now, we cannot grudge the state's sovereignty because we have voluntarily handed it that power. One argument that follows from this is that such power is often prone to be used arbitrarily. And that's a problem for the citizens. The typical solution we have offered on these pages over time is to restrict the domain of the state to a narrow set where it can make the maximum impact or to design its incentives in a way that makes the state act with accountability. Now, these are good design principles. We could use them to create structures and institutions that are strong and independent that could hold their own against any arbitrary use of power. But are these enough? A natural question that should follow is how do we know things are working in practice like they were meant to? How do we get authentic information about how the state is conducting itself? How do we confirm that it is not subverting the institutional design that is in place to control its powers? These questions lead us to the other pillar of a well-functioning democracy - transparency. It is a topic we haven't discussed enough on these pages. Transparency is a moral good, and it is vital for a healthy democracy. Darkness stunts democracy. It needs light to thrive. In the early part of the 20th century, the US Supreme Court judge Louis Brandeis famously remarked, “sunlight is the best disinfectant” while making a case for a transparency imperative. Or, if we were to go further back, Bentham, often credited to have done the most original thinking on transparency, summed it up with - the more strictly we are watched, the better we behave - a principle he put at the heart of his advocacy for an open government. So, what has triggered my early morning ruminations on transparency? Well, there are two reasons. Here's one. The Indian Express reports:“The Supreme Court said it did not want to accept in a “sealed cover” the Centre's suggestions on who could be the members of a committee the court had proposed to assess the market regulatory framework and recommend measures, if any, to strengthen it in the wake of the Adani-Hindenburg affair. It refused to accept any suggestions on names from the petitioners as well.Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, who headed a three-judge bench hearing a clutch of petitions on the Hindenburg Research report and its aftermath, told Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, the court wanted to maintain “full transparency”. The court would appoint a committee of its own that will promote a sense of confidence in the process, he said.”CJI Chandrachud said, “We would rather not accept the sealed cover suggestions from you for this reason; in constituting a committee which we want to do, we want to maintain full transparency. The moment we accept a set of suggestions from you in a sealed cover, it means the other side is not seeing them. Even if we don't accept your suggestions, they will not know which of your suggestions we have accepted and which we have not. Then there may be an impression that well, this is a government-appointed committee which the Supreme Court has accepted even if we have not accepted your suggestions. So, we want to maintain the fullest transparency in the interest of protecting the investors.”Bravo. The Chief Justice was almost channelling Bentham there, who famously wrote, “secrecy, being an instrument of conspiracy, ought never to be the system of a regular government.” I mean, what even is a sealed cover in a matter that concerns millions of ordinary investors? Why should there be secrecy in the name of experts and their recommendations? A sealed cover is a strange invention. It gives the sheen of a fair and independent process to what is essentially a subversion of a democratic principle. It ranks up there among one of the great Indian coinages. The top spot, of course, is forever occupied by ‘mild lathicharge'. And now, onto the other reason for all this talk on transparency. This was the headline-grabbing news of this week in India - “Weeks after its documentary taken off, BBC gets I-T knock”. Here's the Indian Express reporting on this with many quotes from “unnamed government sources”:“The Income-Tax Department surveys at the premises of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in Delhi and Mumbai on Tuesday (February 14) were conducted in view of the BBC's “deliberate non-compliance with the transfer pricing rules” and its “vast diversion of profits”, government sources said.The surveys were looking into “manipulation of prices for unauthorized benefits, including tax advantages”, sources said.The BBC has been “persistently and deliberately violative of transfer pricing rules, it has “deliberately diverted a significant amount of the profits”, and has not followed the “arm's length arrangement” in the allocation of profit, the sources said.”A very garrulous source there with a lot of information. I don't want to ascribe motives to the tax raids yet. There's enough in the timing of these ‘surveys' to raise suspicions. The I-T department has been used to settle political and other scores for decades. It speaks poorly of our institutional strength and independence. But that's not the issue we are discussing today. The question is about transparency. Does anyone know why the surveys were carried out? The sources have cleverly given some reasons, but what stops the department from giving an official reason for them? Is it because it is likely that if they give the official reason, there will be further questions on the arbitrary nature of the actions? So, it is best to share nothing officially, selectively leak information to the media to paint the BBC in poor light and get away with harassment that then sends a message across to other foreign media outlets. Because even based on the merits of what the sources have said, it is difficult to justify a two-day survey. To quote the same news report:“Transfer pricing issues are very common for foreign companies but survey/search actions against them are not common. Assessment is usually opted for but is not the only route through which such cases can be approached. If tax officers want to do a survey/search, then transfer pricing issues can get covered.However, it is an approval-driven process with prior approvals required within the tax department before carrying out survey action. They would be having some information against the company and there might be a history of non-compliance too,” a Delhi-based tax expert said.  A notice preferably is issued to a company in an assessment exercise by the tax authorities flouting transfer pricing rules before undertaking any such action, experts said."It shouldn't surprise anyone that political actors don't like transparency. It adds to their burden of accountability and increases the political costs of any missteps, deliberate or otherwise. So, how should the citizens keep up the demand for transparency in a democratic setup? After all, for the citizens to be involved in the governance process, they must have access to the government's information, plans and intentions. Also, there is a line beyond which too much transparency could be counterproductive. Too much information, too early in the process, could mean stalling the plan as interest groups jump in and skew the decision-making process. I have outlined three frames that one could use to think about transparency in a democracy.First, it is in the long-term interest of political parties to seek transparency in a democratic setup. For those in the opposition, it is about making the incumbent party in power more accountable. For the incumbent, too, there's always the uncertainty about the future when they might not be in power. In such a scenario, it is better for them to have stronger laws on transparency for their own access to government information, which they can use to hold others accountable. A lack of certainty about future electoral prospects for any party is a feature of a good democracy. It is in this environment most transparency laws are made. In India, too, the RTI came about because of grassroots activism and a broad consensus among the political class led by the party in power then. However, it is important to note that the Overton window was right during that time when getting re-elected was an exception. It meant the political actors were keen to have access to information in future. In that sense, any period when transparency is suppressed in a democracy is a good surrogate for the power of the party in power. In India, the RTI laws allow for access to a significant amount of government information. The problem is that there is a gradual erosion of its ambit as the dominant political class comes to view it as an irritant. The only way to counter this is for the citizenry to continue using the RTI tool to its fullest extent. The more people know the tool's power, the harder it will be to blunt it. Second, it is important to devolve transparency to state and local governments. This is where the political uncertainty is still high in India, which means there's an incentive for political actors to support transparency moves to guarantee their own access to information in future. This is also the space where petty corruption is still rampant. One of the challenges of RTI in India is that most of the activism here is focused on big-ticket issues. The opportunity to bring sunlight as a disinfectant and its payoffs are the highest at the local level of governance. Separately, there are also specific areas in the private sector that could do with improved transparency. This is tricky territory, and let me be very specific about this. There's a significant amount of information that's collected, often without explicit consent, from the citizens by the private sector, which is then monetised in various ways. The mechanism by which their information is used and the extent to which the private sector, especially the social media platforms,  benefits from it are not transparent to the citizens who are the customers. If your attention is being monetised through multiple trackers and personalised ads, it is only fair you must know the rules of the game and agree to play it. This is still a white space of policymaking in India.   Lastly, the oft-cited risk of policy waters being muddied because of transparency, where various interest groups will lobby for their positions and slow down the decision-making process, is a bit misplaced. Those in favour of transparency do not argue for the innards of policymaking being put out for display. That process requires stakeholder mapping and seeking inputs in a way that's been documented by various policy thinkers. We have written about the eight-step process of policymaking on these pages on multiple occasions. The issue of transparency is important in two areas. First, the implementation and measurement of a policy proposal. How did a policy fare compared to its promise? Were the public resources and efforts prudently used? Was there a clear understanding of why something failed? Access to this information is important for the public and experts outside the government to hold the government accountable and improve future decisions. Second, the size of the state in India often means it is the biggest, often the sole, customer in multiple sectors and its decision on setting the rules of games in these sectors, awarding contracts and its performance in managing its budget should be available for public scrutiny. Again, this doesn't mean the government should vet its decisions at each stage with prevailing public opinion. Rather it must be able to explain its process and the rationale for decisions openly and transparently. The practice of sealed covers or I-T surveys and raids without a clear reason isn't new to India. What's new is the somewhat strange support for these actions by the mainstream media that are being fed by the ever-bizarre theories cooked by the partisans on social media. BBC isn't doing a documentary on Gujarat because China is now funding it. Nor is there a leftist cabal that's busy bringing Adani down one week and using BBC the next to show the government in a bad light. This playbook is reminiscent of the Indira era of the mid-70s, where in the name of national interest, we buried transparency and accountability. It took us decades to get out of that mire. Learning from history is free, but most of us fail the eventual test.PolicyWTF: Casually Banning Films Committee, RepriseThis section looks at egregious public policies. Policies that make you go: WTF, Did that really happen?— Pranay Kotasthane Last week, I came across an excellent report by Aroon Deep in The Hindu that explains how the Central Board for Film Certification (CBFC) is going way beyond its usual stance of “demanding” cuts of scenes showing sexual content, violence, or abusive language. Instead, the CBFC now also has a perspective on dietary preferences (demanding that mention of “beef” be struck off), foreign policy (demanding that references to ex-KGB officers, China, and Pakistan be removed), and even corruption (how can a filmmaker dare depict a police officer accepting a bribe?). Seriously, what an omniscient body.Despite its activism, the Censor Board hasn't impressed the extremists. One Hindu group leader has called for creating a ‘Dharma Censor Board' “to review Bollywood films and keep a check on any anti-religious content or distortion of facts about Sanatan Dharma.” In his words:“Our experts will see a film when it is released and if we find it suitable for people belonging to Sanatan Dharma, we will issue a certificate. At present, films passed by the censor board set up by the government have been found carrying scenes that hurt the sentiments of people. We have repeatedly asked for a religious person to be included in the censor board but this demand has not been accepted. This is why we had to constitute our own board.”While it sounds absolutely absurd at face value, there is a liberal way out to assimilate this conservative critique. We covered it in edition #122, and I want to re-emphasise those points.In 2016, my former colleagues Madhav, Adhip, Shikha, Siddarth, Devika and Guru wrote an interesting paper in which they recommended that film certification should be privatised.Deploying the Banishing Bureaucracy framework, they wrote:The CBFC be renamed the Indian Movie Authority (IMA) and that the primary purpose of the IMA would be to license and regulate private organisations called Independent Certifying Authorities (ICAs) which will then certify films.So, the Hindu group can very well have its own ICA, which will rate the movie on its Sanatana Dharma compliance score. But…The certificate granted by ICA will only restrict what age groups the film is appropriate for. This is the only form of pre-censorship that is necessary in today's age as all other restrictions on film exhibition should be applied retrospectively. The choice of ICAs available for producers to approach will render the question of subjectivity moot as the producer can switch to another ICA if unsatisfied with the certificate. The IMA will set the guidelines for the ICAs to follow and will be the first point of appeal.In other words, this solution reimagines the CBFC as a body that grants licenses to independent and private certification organisations called ICAs. These ICAs must adhere to certain threshold criteria set by the CBFC. Beyond these criteria, some ICAs may specialise themselves as being the sanskaari ones trigger-happy to award an “A” certification, while others may adopt a more liberal approach. In the authors' words:This will allow the marketplace of ideas to draw the lines of what kind of content is fit for what kind of audience with the government still being capable of stepping in to curb prurient sensibilities.This solution has the added benefit of levelling the playing field between OTT content and films. Currently, the CBFC has no capacity to certify the content being churned out on tens of streaming services. By delegating this function to private ICAs, the government can ensure adherence to certification norms.In essence, just as governments can often plug market failures, markets too can sometimes plug government failures. Reforming our ‘Censor Board' requires giving markets a chance.There's much more detail in the paper about grievance redressal, certification guidelines, and appeals procedure.

Welcome back to BizQuik! On today's episode, Julie talks about the importance of an ICA and just how fun creating one can be! For context, an ICA is a descriptor exercise of all your ideal customers. The more specific an ICA, the more targeted your product and services are, the more revenue will be brought into your company. An ICA helps business owners, entrepreneurs, connect with the community of people who are going to be engaging with your business. ICAs also change over time as your company grows. They are reset and revised as your customer base successfully expands.   Themes: Marketing. Branding. Customer care. Goods and services.

This week, we're getting to part two: prospecting - how to get 10 to 20 real leads or more from LinkedIn every single month. Let's jump into it. This is the Learn More Earn More Business Growth Podcast. Brian Webb: Hey everyone. Welcome to the show. I'm your host, Brian Webb. This podcast is designed to be your number one premier place to learn the framework, secrets, and growth hacks to grow and scale your business smarter and faster. While you're working on pursuing your dreams and growing your business, I'll be here to help you make better decisions and avoid costly pitfalls and expensive mistakes along the way. Let's go ahead and jump into today's episode.             Hey everyone. Welcome back. Last week, part one of my LinkedIn masterclass. This week, part two. I'm going to teach you how to prospect like a pro. Next week, I'm going to teach you how to make a sales funnel that starts with LinkedIn. I would say that the vast majority of people who are on LinkedIn, business owners, and business leaders, you know that you should be on the platform. You know that it's where your prospects are. And you're doing stuff. Maybe you're posting here and there and you're hitting the like button from time to time, but you're not getting any leads from it.             If you haven't done so yet, go back and listen to last week's episode, where I teach you how to turn on creator mode and the seven reasons why you should. This week, we're going to talk about prospecting. And by the way, I'm sensitive to the fact that this is an audio platform. So if you want to see what I'm going to teach here today, go check out the Learn More Earn More newsletter on LinkedIn. And if I gave you the URL to the newsletter, you would never find it. So instead, just go to: learnmoreearnmorenewsletter.com. It will redirect you. You can go there and see the scripts of everything I talk about. Basically, you can have the framework right in front of you.             And if you're not subscribed, go ahead and hit that subscribe button. That way, you'll get notified every time I launch a new article, which is at least weekly, by the way. And every single one of them are to help you grow your business smarter and faster. Let's get to it. Here is how you prospect properly on LinkedIn.             Step number one, you've got to know who your ideal customer avatar is or who they are. And we're not going to even talk about that today because I've already covered it. In fact, if you go back to the podcast to episode number seven, I basically teach you how to create the perfect ideal customer avatar to grow your business. So go check that out. And once you learn how to do it, go check out my free tool at whatboxdigital.com/avatar. There's a form right there. You walk through all the questions. It will email you the results. It's a great tool, and it's free your favorite price. But step one, you've got to know who you're targeting.             Step two, you need a sales navigator account. That's an upgraded version of LinkedIn. It's a completely separate platform. Obviously, it's connected to LinkedIn, but it's a completely separate platform. You've got to have a sales navigator account. So now that you know who your ICA, your ideal customer avatar is or who they are, and now that you have your sales navigator account, we got to go find them. We got to go get them. You're going to go perform a search for your ideal customer avatar. And sales navigator lets you do that. It's absolute bliss if you're trying to grow your business on LinkedIn.             The beginning of your search might start with manufacturers. It might start with law firms. It might start with medical practices. You start by choosing whom you want to target. And all of the filtering parameters that you need are right there. You can filter by connection level; first-degree connection, second, or third. You can geographically target. Maybe you want to target just Texas; maybe Michigan; maybe the United States; maybe worldwide. You can target based on years of experience, company headcount, their role, or their job titles; spotlights, meaning changed jobs in the last 90 days, or maybe they were mentioned in the news in the last 30 days. Or a good one, posted on LinkedIn in the past 30 days.             And again, if you go to learn moreearnmorenewsletter.com, I'll include some screenshots so that you can see that in case you don't yet have your own sales navigator account. So, we've identified our ideal customer avatar. You've got your sales navigator account set up. And you're going after one of your ICAs, ideal customers, on sales navigator.             Step three, you're going to pick 10 to 20 of the people in that search per day, Monday through Friday, and you're going to go and engage with their profile. You're not sending a connection request. You're just going to go and view their profile, for example. You're going to go and like a recent post. Comment thoughtfully on a recent post. Basically, you're just showing up before you even send that connection request out, to begin with. Now, step three can really be steps three, four, and five, meaning you could just go do it once.             The longer you take, the more conversions you're going to get when you're trying to connect with people. But if you're that business owner, that business leader, that wants the baby without the labor pains, go ahead and just do it one time. Your effectiveness will probably go down, but just do your own testing as you go. Remember, everything I share with you is a framework from which you have to go and make it your own and do your own testing because every market is different. And every user on LinkedIn is different. For example, if you've got 35,000 followers and the world sees you as a celebrity, it's not going to take that long for you to connect. If you're the guy who's just so busy working in his business or her business, and you rarely show up, well, then you're a complete stranger. It's going to take you a little longer for people to warm up to you.             Next step, send a connection request to those people that you've been engaging their profile. And I'm going to give you the script. This is what I use. Make it your own. And be conversational. Here's mine. "Hey," first name. "I'm a B2B marketer here in the Houston area. I enjoy connecting with..." fill in the blank; meaning the type of business owners and leaders that you want to go connect with. "But don't worry. I'm not here to pitch or sell you anything today. Hopefully, we will cross paths here on LinkedIn from time to time, Brian." I cannot say this loudly enough. Do not connect then pitch. This is the pandemic that absolutely plagues LinkedIn.             When you do this, what you're, in essence, inadvertently doing is you're showing up, you're connecting, you're shaking their hand by connecting with them. And then you're saying, "Give me your money." Now, the irony is we should all intuitively know that that's not how you do business, especially on LinkedIn, because we hate it when someone does that to us. Don't do that. Don't connect and then pitch.             Step five, and this is the one that you're probably not going to like because it's not as scalable. Okay. I'll get back to the podcast in just a minute. But let's face it, most marketing doesn't work. Did you know that most business owners and leaders are making the same mistakes over and over again? Like so many others, you're probably tired of relying on hope, which is a failed marketing system. You know what that is. That's when you're spending valuable time and money on marketing, and then you hope it works. You've probably thrown tons of money towards marketing mistakes and failures. You wish you could get all that money back, but you can't.             When you don't have a reliable system for generating leads and acquiring new customers, then you're doomed to exclusively rely on the loyalty of your existing customers and word of mouth. But it doesn't have to be that way. I want to give you a resource for free. You heard me right: free.             I've put together the ultimate 97-point marketing audit checklist, which will allow you to assess and diagnose what is and is not working in your marketing. And it will only take you about 10 to 15 minutes. Think of it like an MRI for your marketing, without the expensive medical bills to follow. And to get this free marketing checklist delivered right to your email inbox, just go to getmymarketingchecklist.com. Provide your info, and we'll get it out to you right away. And again, it's totally free.             I'd actually encourage you to walk through the checklist with your team and honestly discuss and evaluate every item on the list. It will be the best 10 minutes you've invested into the growth engine of your business in a long, long time. Again, don't waste another day or another dollar on failing hope marketing strategies that do not work. If you want to grow and scale your business smarter and faster and with fewer mistakes, you're in the right place. Again, totally free. Simply go to getmymarketingchecklist.com right now. Let's fix what's broken in your marketing today.             Step five, and this is the one that you're probably not going to like because it's not as scalable. Every single person that accepts your connect request, get on the LinkedIn mobile app, go to messages, click on that little microphone and send them a voice message. A sincere, heartfelt, warm voice message. Now, I'm going to give you a script. But remember, make this your own. You don't have to do it like me, but make a variation of this that works best for you and your industry sector.             Here's what I say: "Hey," first name. "I am thrilled to be connected with you here on LinkedIn. I really enjoy connecting with business leaders, just like you. I just wanted to reach out and say hello in my own voice. As you can see on my profile, my name's Brian. I'm the CEO here at Whatbox Digital and the fractional CMO for several B2B companies. My team and I help business owners and leaders create lead generation systems that actually work for growing their businesses smarter and faster.             But again, great news, nothing to pitch or sell today. I just wanted to give you a friendly hello. Please reach out anytime, if there's anything I can do for you. And I hope we'll continue to bump into each other from time to time, here on LinkedIn. So, I've created some awareness. This person, he or she, knows what I do. I ask for nothing, not a single thing.             Let's move on to the next step, step six. Wait a day or two. Send them something valuable. Help them. Give before you ask or take. In the world of marketing, we call this a lead magnet. But give them some tools, some assets, some resource that really will be helpful for them. It could be a framework that helps you to make money or save money. Maybe it's a checklist that helps you to avoid pitfalls in business. A resource that we created here at Whatbox Digital is our Ultimate B2B 97-Point Marketing Audit Checklist.             It's a 36-page, 97-point marketing checklist that will absolutely help you to be a better business owner, and a better business leader. It'll help you to conquer marketing. I'm sure you have resources that you can use in your business, but you want to show up with generosity. Not with your hand out, but with something in your hand to give.             On to step seven, which by the way is going to feel a whole lot like step number six. You're going to wait a day or two. You're going to give them another resource: another tool, another framework, another checklist. Be creative. Go through all the assets that you have in your business that help you to be successful and share those resources with the people that you're trying to connect with. And then, I'll repeat those steps one or two more times. This has happened over the course of, let's call it, a week or so.             And by the way, when you give that resource, don't literally give it to them. Put it behind a form on a webpage or a landing page where they have to go and give their information to get it. For example, I would not just forward some news article online. If I'm going to give you that 97-point checklist, you're going to go to a landing page, and you're going to enter your name and your email address.             And if I give you additional tools and resources, they're all going to be behind a form and a landing page where you have to opt in to get that resource. And remember, next week we'll be talking about a sales funnel. And what I just told you is a bit of a teaser for part three, so make sure you're tuned in next week.             And then, based on how they have or have not engaged with me over this process of a week or two, I send them one more message. And in that message, I basically say, "Hey, I hope you've been getting some value out of these resources that I've been sharing with you. As I told you, I do..." A, B, and C. Example in my case, at Whatbox Digital, "we provide consulting services and frameworks for lead generation for B2B companies. Does it make sense to talk about what that looks like in your business?" And remember, most people will never engage with you. Most people will never work with you. Nothing you can say and nothing you can do. This is just the law of sales and marketing.             But I'm telling you, if you do these things I just taught you, you can generate five, 10, 15, 20 leads a month. And again, that spectrum can vary because how many connections do you have? How much authority do you have online? How much are you showing up on LinkedIn when you're not prospecting, or posting valuable content?             This podcast is an example. The newsletter is an example. I see someone that's posting that they're hiring. I share that with my audience. I'm demonstrating generosity. And by the way, not faking it either. And that right there might be the most valuable tip that I just shared with you today. Most people are faking it. Most people are showing up and being just generous enough to ask you for your money. So, you can go down that path, and you can fake it. And you can continue to waste your time on LinkedIn or any other social media platform. Or you can show up in a genuine and authentic way where you're trying to make a contribution to the universe. You genuinely want to help people overcome their challenges and find and pursue and achieve their dreams. But the bad news is if you're faking it, we all know it.             So don't do it. Show up daily. Do your best. Give value. Stop pitching. That's how you get leads. Isn't it ironic? It's when you stop pitching that you'll start generating more opportunities for you and your business. And check this out. Believe it or not, the vast majority of everything that I've spoken to you about today, last week, and next week, it can be outsourced.             As you can tell by everything I've shared, this can be a simple program; this can be robust. A proposal would have to be created. But 1500 bucks to two grand on the low end, up to three or $4,000 on the high end? If you want to get the benefit out of LinkedIn, but you're never going to have the time to do it, we can get you taken care of. Just text the word "LinkedIn" to 832-324-2432. 832-324-2432. Text the word "LinkedIn." We can start a conversation.             That's it for this week. I think I've talked about the marketing audit checklist three or four times. Plus, the promotion is pushing that out to you guys. You've got to go get it. Go to getmymarketingchecklist.com and get your copy. I promise you, it'll be the best 15 to 20 minutes that you spend with your team. And don't forget about next week. Come back, subscribe.
