John Hewitt, Founder of Loyalty Brands, advises finding an industry you love, working hard, and persevering. Using their pet grooming business as an example, where all the owners are passionate about pets, they emphasize that life is too short to dread your work. Instead, you should look forward to Mondays and be proud of what you do.  John reflects on the idea that the only two guarantees in life are death and taxes, making them a reliable business. However, a third certainty is mentioned: change.Loyalty Brands is a synergistic group of franchise businesses and services designed to dovetail together to help the franchise buyer to prosper both quickly and over the long term. Each of the Loyalty franchise concepts are easily knitted together to provide interested prospects a portfolio of businesses that are exciting for them to consider.  The brands under the Loyalty umbrella include ATAX Tax Service, Zoomin Groomin, Loyalty Business Brokers, CR3 Exterior Remodeling, Little Medical School, The Inspection Boys, and Ledgers Accounting and Business Services.John advises that even if someone has no experience in a specific field like plumbing, HVAC, or cutting hair, they should still consider it if the business model resonates with them. He highlights his experience in the tax industry, where many newcomers had no prior knowledge of taxes. He explains the benefits of the industry, such as its seasonal nature, recession-proof status, and the challenge of dealing with the IRS. John encourages anyone interested in an unfamiliar industry to spend time in the field to see if they enjoy it before fully committing.Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to stay updated with our latest episodes.

In this Better Satellite World podcast, SSPI's Lou Zacharilla speaks with representatives of the three 2023 recipients of Better Satellite World Awards. Libby Barr, Chief Operating Officer of Avanti Communications, Fernando Carballal, Associate Director of Product Development and Operational Partnerships for the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and Stephen Wood, Senior Director of the Maxar News Bureau join Lou to discuss their projects, goals and making a better world for all. Libby Barr is the Chief Operating Officer at Avanti Communications (“Avanti”) and a member of its Executive Committee. Joining in January 2019, Libby is responsible for the development and growth of the Carrier, Mobility and Enterprise customers along with overseeing the end-to-end customer experience across Avanti's Sales and Marketing departments. Libby is passionate about connecting some of the hardest-to-reach communities in the world. Key milestones include the connectivity of over 1,000 villages in Africa, to which Avanti has made significant investments to provide satellite infrastructure and digital connectivity in rural and ultra-rural areas. Along with her team, Libby's focus will be on connecting a further 10,000 villages and schools over the next five years. Prior to Avanti, Libby was at BT for nine years. As Managing Director of Customer Care, she was a key member of the BT Consumer Leadership Team who grew the company's revenue by more than £1.2bn in five years. Libby was also responsible for the strategic vision, leadership and transformation of a 10,000 strong Customer Care organisation across more than 30 sites worldwide. Libby began her career at Vodafone. At the company for 22 years, she held positions in both the global and UK organisations, leading the Enterprise Sales and Service organisations. In addition, Libby was a Trustee of the Vodafone Foundation. Avanti Communications' rural solution is a groundbreaking satellite service designed to bridge the digital divide by connecting ultra-rural villages in Nigeria for the first time. This innovative solution has proven key to the Nigerian Communications Commission's (NCC) National Broadband Plan of 2020, which sets out two national goals: to achieve 90% population coverage and a penetration rate of 70% by 2025. Avanti Rural solution uses advanced satellite technology to extend mobile network coverage to the hardest-to-reach areas of Nigeria, that would be impossible to reach using traditional terrestrial infrastructure. This off-grid service is a game-changer in the telecommunications industry, providing cellular services to the most remote communities, and in turn, promoting digital inclusion and socio-economic development. As of 2023, Avanti has deployed over 500 ultra-rural sites in 21 Nigerian states, providing 2G and 3G connectivity to 2.5 million Nigerians. All these areas previously had no connectivity, with residents forced to travel on foot or by local bus to the nearest towns with coverage just to use their mobile phones. Fernando Carballal is Associate Director of Product Development and Operational Partnerships for the International Rescue Committee (IRC), an organization that helps people affected by humanitarian crises—including the climate crisis—to survive, recover and rebuild their lives. He is also Co-Founder and Innovation Consultant of Impactspace, which works with businesses, NGOs, government and academia internationally to explore and commercialize new impactful ideas. Before joining IRC and co-founding Impactspace, Fernando served as Head of Design and User Engagement for Sen and as a Designer for a variety of companies, including Satellite Applications Catapult, Thingmaker and Cyclehoop Ltd. He is a graduate of London Metropolitan University with a Masters in Product Design and the University of East London with a Bachelors of Science in Architecture. The Mapping Invisible Populations project is an innovative initiative by the International Rescue Committee (IRC), created in collaboration with Flowminder and Humanitarian Open Street Map. The project was developed in 2023 with the central aim of providing support services to hard-to-reach populations. This initiative primarily targets fragile and conflict-affected areas which may receive less medical and other humanitarian support. Using satellite imagery mapping techniques and GIS methodologies provided by its partners, the Mapping Invisible Populations project gathers satellite and spatial data and combines it with population estimates analyzed by its partners to determine the location of these underserved populations. Subsequently, these estimates are verified by community informants for further corroboration. The objective is to identify populations living in areas that are large enough to justify IRC investing resources, time, and risk to provide medical and humanitarian assistance. Stephen Wood is the Senior Director of the Maxar News Bureau. He has more than 30 years of experience analyzing satellite imagery and performing all-source analysis for government, commercial and media customers. Mr. Wood joined DigitalGlobe (which became Maxar Intelligence) in 2000, after 14 years in the U.S. government, where he held a range of senior imagery intelligence-associated positions. He was the co-founder of AllSource Analysis, an imagery analytic company based in Colorado. He has an in-depth record of creating geospatial and all-source material and has briefed audiences extensively throughout his career, including high-ranking government officials, CEOs and the media on geospatial information and high current interest issues. The Maxar News Bureau is a unique partnership program that collaborates with renowned media organizations worldwide, focusing on using technology for social good and global transparency. The program is operated by Maxar Intelligence, a leading provider of secure, precise geospatial intelligence. The Bureau leverages the business' satellite imagery, analytics and expertise to complement quality journalism and provide irrefutable evidence in an era where credibility is critical. The Maxar News Bureau has provided high-resolution satellite imagery and analysis for notable reports like The New York Times' 2020 Pulitzer Prize-winning report on Russia's use of shadow warfare and the 2019 Emmy-winning “One Building, One Bomb” story, which reconstructed a chemical attack in Syria. The Bureau's satellite imagery allowed the Times reporters to enhance their storytelling and lend credibility to their reports. In the realm of current events, information is traditionally released by the media, governments or organizations directly involved in the event. The Maxar News Bureau serves as an auxiliary source, providing supporting evidence or context to unfolding situations.

In 1992, the world agreed to “prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system”. In 2023, we are seeing dangerous climate impacts play out everywhere, constantly. Risk, harm, and cost, are all piling up. Lives and livelihoods are at risk, around the world. We may be, however, on the brink of a major breakthrough in the acceleration of global climate action. For the first time, Article 6.8 of the Paris Agreement will be materially on the table at the annual United Nations Climate Change negotiations; that means we can finally talk about nation-by-nation carbon pricing, cooperative climate clubs of aligned pricing and incentives, and the ultimate goal of establishing a future of climate-smart trade, finance, and everyday economics.

The Wimbledon Foundation is the official charity of the All England Lawn Tennis Club and the Championships. Their mission is to champion opportunity for all, and they aim to leverage the resources of the Club and the Championships to make a positive difference in people's lives. As the Wimbledon Foundation approaches its 10th Anniversary, we learn about their trajectory; their COVID response work; and their current support of 100 local charities in the London boroughs of Merton and Wandsworth, key partnerships with WaterAid and the British Red Cross, and their support of ‘Set for Success' – an initiative delivered by the Youth Sport Trust that is also supported by Barclays – the official banking partner of the Championships.

Roger Schulz just closed his very first wholesale real estate deal and helped improve his seller's quality of life too! Tom welcomes his former student, Roger, to the show to break down the process, from start to finish. He explains in detail how he implemented the strategies and best practices learned from Tom's course to find a property and seller, find a buyer, and facilitate a smooth real estate transaction. Finally, Roger provides his own pearls of wisdom for those on the fence about getting involved in real estate investing.Key Takeaways00:49 – Tom introduces today's guest, Roger Schulz, who joins the show to break down his very first wholesale deal, and what clicked for Roger when he took Tom's course10:33 – The Deal Machine Challenge19:14 – Advice Roger would give to those who are afraid of cold calling20:35 – What stood out about the property that Roger ended up acquiring22:38 – Dealing with the seller, Mark, and becoming an advocate for him31:13 – Building your buyer's list39:58 – Roger describes how he feels now that he's closed his first deal43:58 – Nice Guy vs. Good Guy48:01 – Negotiation and the ‘flinch' technique54:58 – Roger sings the praises of Tom and his program57:26 – What Roger would say to those on the fence about getting into real estate investing1:00:08 – Tom thanks Roger for joining the show and congratulates him again on the success he's achievingTweetable Quotes“When you're treading water, you're just treading water. I didn't really know where to get started or when. But then, it was zero to one thousand miles an hour with getting everything set up. And having Tom's system made it doable, made it possible, and also gave me the accountability to just make it happen.” (04:06) (Roger)“Sometimes, the way they do business is so profit focused and less people focused. And, at the end of the day, this is a business about helping people. This is a business about doing something great, not only for myself and my family, but also for the community.” (08:44) (Roger)“Some people argue, ‘Find the deal first, then build your buyer's list.' Some people argue, ‘Build your buyer's list first.' Ya know what, it doesn't really matter. You've got to have a group of people that you know might be interested in buying it, otherwise you're putting your wholesale deal on Craigslist. And that can work. You never know.” (31:37) (Roger)“Even though I didn't know him, he was still my fellow man. And I was able to really help him out with his situation. I was able to get him care when nobody else knew that he needed it. And now his quality of life has gone up tremendously. And honestly, I wasn't expecting that when I got into this.” (39:23) (Roger)“That's one of the big traps you can fall into when doing real estate. Real estate is one of those where it can be a great business; it can be a lot of fun. But it can also burn you really, really badly.” (45:19) (Roger)“Surely you have to be true to yourself, because the moment that you start to seem fake, or it starts to seem scripted, or it starts to seem off a natural reaction, you have to make your reactions natural.” (50:17) (Roger)“First off, make sure you're settled and ready to do this and undertake it, because if you want it, it's there. And if you get yourself hyper-focused and motivated on this, it's achievable. Anybody can achieve this. It's just a matter of putting yourself to the grindstone, holding yourself accountable, showing up for Tom's meetings consistently, participating and asking questions.” (58:11) (Roger)Guest Resources

So I've always followed my dreams and gone down the path of doing things that I wanted to do, even if they were risky or had a large likelihood of failing.” - Josh Duntz, (36:35)

On this episode, James Layfield, Founder of Clearfind and Awesomage, shares how he is helping #B2B companies save on software, while also making a difference in the lives of orphans.Software costs are always at top of mind for #businessleaders. Many companies accumulate a large amount of technical debt as they subscribe to systems that were imperative in their time. The downside is that #leadership, especially in large corporations, can lose sight of the software's value or whether its features are now redundant.James solves this problem with his AI-based system. He uses a performance-based model that takes a percentage of the money saved. And the profits are used to help orphans in developing countries. James and his team are driven by this greater purpose and the desire to make a difference.Resources mentioned:Awesomage website - https://awesomage.org/Awesomage YouTube videos - https://www.youtube.com/@awesomage/featuredClearfield website - https://www.clearfind.com/This episode is brought to you by Content Allies.Content Allies helps B2B tech companies launch revenue-generating podcasts.

GUEST BIO: Dr. Latt Mansor holds a PhD in Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics from the University of Oxford, where his research focused on the metabolism of the type 2 diabetic heart in hypoxia. He also holds an M.A. (Columbia University) and B.Sc. (Hons) (University of Nottingham) in Biotechnology. He is a world expert in physiology and metabolism, and consults with elite sport, military, clinical and research organizations.- **Principal Investigator of a $6 million military contract on exogenous ketones** - Dr. Mansor is the Research Lead at H.V.M.N., overseeing all of the company's research efforts and collaborations with universities and research institutions. Currently, he is the principal investigator of the $6 million U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) contract awarded to H.V.M.N by the Department of Defense, with a targeted completion date of October 2022. This project focuses on operator performance in hypoxia (low oxygen environment), which has applications for soldier performance at altitude, in mountains, on fighter jets, and, potentially one day, in space. - **Interest and previous research in diabetes and cardiovascular disease** - His interest in diabetes and cardiovascular disease stemmed from the high prevalence of those diseases in both his parents' families. He then developed interests in metabolism and exercise during his undergraduate years as he created a mathematical model of adipose tissue (fat) metabolism for his final year project. He then researched using exercise as an intervention for sarcopenia, muscle loss due to aging, for his Master's thesis. Along his journey of acquiring more knowledge on metabolic health and physiology, he started applying his findings in his daily life to strive for better health and to prove that genetic disposition to chronic diseases is not the entire equation. Epigenetics and lifestyle choices have been proven to change the trajectory of disease progression or in some cases, even reverse it! - **Personal health journey from smoking cessation to weight loss** - The turning point was when he realized that he was only 22 years old and already living an extremely unhealthy lifestyle. Weighing over 200 lbs, never exercised unless he was forced to and a heavy smoker that smoked 30-40 cigarettes a day to boot! The more knowledge he acquired, the more he understands that he is doing injustice to his body and is definitely not helping his genetic disposition towards diabetes and cardiovascular disease so he turned his life around, quit smoking, started with only jogging around the park to joining a gym, quit drinking soda every day and started eating healthy. It was not an easy journey but it has certainly been a self-discovery and rewarding journey nonetheless. He is now committed to finding new ways to make his insights more relatable and accessible to the general public.Although his education was primarily in health sciences, Latt always believed that collaborative efforts between science and business have more potential to create an impact in improving people's lives than each on its own. SHOW NOTES:

What is social finance, why is it important and how can Islamic financial institutions play a significant role in its growth and development? In a post-pandemic world, what does social finance offer in terms of relief and renewal, and what real-life examples are there of this in practice? How can social Sukuk be used to support enterprise, entrepreneurship, home ownership and job creation, as well as healthcare and education? What has worked towards these goals in other countries and what can be learnt from these achievements? How can Islamic social finance be deployed to assist with liquidity and funding for the vital SME sector? Can Islamic social finance play a role in the evermore consequential issue of food security, simultaneously helping the underprivileged and micro-enterprises? With such goals in mind, how do we design effective models and strategies, offer innovative products and measure the impact of these important initiatives?

Professors Kirsten Nicholson and Klaus Neumann lead a Geoscientists without Borders (GWB) project to find safe drinking water for two communities in the Sagarmatha National Park, Nepal. This country most famously is home to the world's favorite trekking destination - the Himalayans. Even though this area is popular with tourists, it struggles with adequate drinking water. Diseases due to unsafe water are some of the most common causes of death, with diarrheal disease accounting for 4.2% of the global burden of diseases. The situation is far worse in less economically developed, semi-arid mountainous regions where communities experience poor health due to contaminated drinking water. At the same time, these high-altitude regions face increasing pressure caused by climate variability, impacting precipitation patterns, seasonal snowpack, and glacial growth. The issues surrounding long-term resource management and the reduction of water-related vulnerability are complex and rarely involve simple solutions. Large-scale environmental problems usually involve a mixture of science (geology, hydrology, geophysics, ecology, etc.), applied science (engineering, natural resource management), and human dimensions (politics, economics, culture, etc.). Governments often struggle with these problems, and researchers usually deal with a single aspect, two or three at most. Kirsten and Klaus lead a GWB project to solve the water problems of two communities in Nepal - Phortse and Lobuche. These communities sought help to determine the placement and capacity of a water filtration and storage facility that would provide potable water to the community members year-round. The placement of the system is essential so that it is resistant to the impacts of climate change and earthquakes. In this episode, you will hear exclusively from Kirsten and Klaus as they take you on a journey from discovering the need for this project to what they hope they will contribute to these communities. Along the way, they highlight the meaningful contributions of students from the U.S. and Nepal, how the local communities have taken leadership in this project, and share the most enriching experiences for them. This is a powerful example of the significant contribution geoscientists can make when focused on a meaningful project for a local community. Listen to the full archive at https://seg.org/podcast.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The elephant in the bednet: the importance of philosophy when choosing between extending and improving lives, published by MichaelPlant on November 18, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Michael Plant, Joel McGuire, and Samuel Dupret Summary How should we compare the value of extending lives to improving lives? Doing so requires us to make various philosophical assumptions, either implicitly or explicitly. But these choices are rarely acknowledged or discussed by decision-makers, all of them are controversial, and they have significant implications for how resources should be distributed. We set out two crucial philosophical issues: (A) an account of the badness of death, how to determine the relative value of deaths at different ages, and (B) locating the neutral point, the place on the wellbeing scale at which life is neither good nor bad for someone. We then illustrate how different choices for (A) and (B) alter the cost-effectiveness of three charities which operate in low-income countries, provide different interventions, and are considered to be some of the most cost-effective ways to help others: Against Malaria Foundation (insecticide-treated nets), GiveDirectly (cash transfers), and StrongMinds (group therapy for depression). We assess all three in terms of wellbeing-adjusted life years (WELLBYs) and explain why we do not, and cannot, use standard health metrics (QALYs and DALYs) for this purpose. We show how much cost-effectiveness changes by shifting from one extreme of (reasonable) opinion to the other. At one end, AMF is 1.3x better than StrongMinds. At the other, StrongMinds is 12x better than AMF. We do not advocate for any particular view. Our aim is simply to show that these philosophical choices are decision-relevant and merit further discussion. Our results are displayed in the chart below, which plots the cost-effectiveness of the three charities in WELLBYs/$1,000. StrongMinds and GiveDirectly are represented with flat, dashed lines because their cost-effectiveness does not change under the different assumptions. The changes in AMF's cost-effectiveness are a result of two varying factors. One is using different accounts of the badness of death, that is, ways to assign value to saving lives at different ages; these three accounts go by unintuitive names in the philosophical literature, so we've put a slogan in brackets after each one to clarify their differences: deprivationism (prioritise the youngest), the time-relative interest account (prioritise older children over infants), and Epicureanism (death isn't bad for anyone – prioritise living well, not living long). We also consider including two variants of the time-relative interest account (TRIA); on these, life has a maximum value at the ages of either 5 or 25. The other factor is where to locate the neutral point, the place at which someone has overall zero wellbeing, on a 0-10 life satisfaction scale; we assess that as being at each location between 0/10 and 5/10. As you can see, AMF's cost-effectiveness changes a lot. It is only more cost-effective than StrongMinds if you adopt deprivationism and place the neutral point below 1. 1. Introduction How should we compare the value of extending lives to improving lives? Let's focus our minds with a real choice. On current estimates, for around $4,500, you can expect to save one child's life by providing insecticide-treated nets (ITNs). Alternatively, that sum could provide a $1,000 cash transfer to four-and-a-half families living in extreme poverty ($1,000 is about a year's household income). The cost of both choices is the same, but the outcomes differ. Which one will do the most good? This is a difficult and discomforting ethical question. How might we answer it? And how much would different answers change the priorities? There are various m...
