Is AI a magic bullet - or just another tool in the compliance toolkit?What really happens when you let algorithms near your risk decisions?In this episode of Corruption, Crime and Compliance, Christian Focacci, founder and CEO of Threat.Digital, returns for a thoughtful and highly practical conversation about the state of artificial intelligence in compliance and third-party risk management. Christian's platform is at the forefront of using large language models and real-time data to transform how companies identify and manage risk - without losing sight of the human judgment that still needs to guide every decision. He and Michael explore what's changed in the AI landscape over the past year, what's misunderstood about the technology, and how compliance teams can strike the right balance between innovation and accountability.You'll hear them discuss:Why Christian believes you shouldn't use AI unless it's truly the right tool for the job, and how this philosophy shapes how Threat.Digital builds and deploys its systemsWhat large language models actually are, how they function under the hood, and why most people fundamentally misunderstand how they learn and process informationThe growing demand for corporate AI governance, how some risk committees are creating unnecessary delays, and why many internal processes are still focused on the wrong questionsHow Threat.Digital uses AI to reduce noise in due diligence, replacing bloated, unfiltered search results with clear, high-quality summaries supported by verifiable sourcesWhy the real power of AI isn't about replacing humans, but about expanding what can be reviewed - moving from 10 data points to 10,000, while helping compliance professionals focus only on what mattersThe future of due diligence: chaining AI tasks to build multi-layered investigations that trace ownership, pull third-party records, and surface hidden risks in real timeHow AI is revolutionizing name screening and sanctions checks by eliminating irrelevant fuzzy matches, freeing teams from chasing meaningless alerts and allowing them to act on true risks with confidenceResourcesChristian Focacci on the Threat.Digital | LinkedIn | Email: chris@threat.digitalMichael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law Group

Sarah Mellinger AI Implementation Strategist with OnLogic joins host Kendra Johnson, , International Car Wash Association Senior VP of Growth, for an adventure into the amazing world of AI and how it will shape the carwash of the future. They cover everything from predictive maintenance to AI-powered chatbots—and why this technology isn't as intimidating as it sounds.Who is OnLogic & Why Do They Matter?OnLogic is a global industrial computer manufacturer that specializes in highly configurable PCs designed to survive extreme environments—think heat, cold, moisture, and constant vibration. Since car washes operate in tough conditions, these durable computers are ideal for keeping systems running smoothly.AI & Automation Are Already Changing the GameAI is no longer just a futuristic concept; it's already making car washes smarter and more efficient. From predictive maintenance to optimizing chemical usage, automation helps business owners cut costs, reduce downtime, and improve customer experiences. AI-driven systems can even detect when something is about to break down—before it happens.Why Now is the Right Time to Invest in AIAI isn't a passing trend—it's the next step in the evolution of car wash technology. The industry is built for scale, and AI makes it easier to expand while maintaining efficiency. The key is starting small: running a proof of concept allows business owners to test AI solutions and refine them before going all in.Debunking AI FearsMany people worry that AI will replace jobs or take away human control, but Sarah reassures us that this isn't the case. AI is simply a tool that helps businesses run better, freeing up employees to focus on more valuable tasks. Think of it like any other technological advance—people were once skeptical of automatic car washes, too!How to Get Started with AI in Your Car WashIdentify your goals—are you looking to improve efficiency, reduce maintenance issues, or enhance customer experience?Start with a prototype. Test AI solutions on a small scale before rolling them out across your entire operation.Work with a partner to estimate costs and determine ROI. Most businesses see results in about three months.Keep an open mind! AI isn't about replacing people—it's about making operations smarter and more efficient.Sarah also highlighted some of the most exciting ways AI is already transforming car washes:Predictive Maintenance – AI-powered sensors can track vibrations, chemical usage, and water levels, helping to identify equipment failures before they happen.AI-Driven Cameras – These systems can scan vehicles before and after washing, detecting obstructions and identifying damage.Chatbots for Troubleshooting – If a machine goes down and no staff is on-site, AI-powered chatbots can diagnose and even fix certain issues remotely.Sarah emphasized that the most successful businesses start with a strategy—identifying a few key use cases before expanding AI adoption.Sarah's final piece of advice: Keep an open mind and surround yourself with the right people to help make AI work for you.

After a frustrating week of trying to wrangle AI outputs, we decided to explore the risks of overreliance on AI. It's good for us to question our tools. It enhances our processes and challenges us to find the right tools.Listen on Spotify | Listen on Apple Podcasts | Watch on YouTubeIn this episode, we say the quiet parts out loud. Not only are LLMs often feeding us incorrect information, but over-trusting these systems poses a serious risk.We can look at this Rolling Stone article headline and immediately laugh it off. It is insane to believe this will happen to anyone we know. However, in Mark Zuckerberg's vision of the AI future, your friends will be bots. The loneliness epidemic is real. One in three Americans feels lonely every week. Data from Harvard's Making Caring Common Project supports that loneliness is tied to increasing feelings of anxiety, not part of this country, and being about more than social isolation. 65% of respondents blame “our society,” pointing to a lack of confidence in our way of life and institutions.So, it should be no surprise that Harvard Business Review found that the top three use cases of 2025 involved loneliness and navigating life's stresses.AI could quickly become the next addiction for a world desperate for solutions. The fact that there's demand for robo-companionship shouldn't be treated as validation for building more tools to disassociate them from life. Let's go back to exploring this topic from the perspective of business users.Understanding GenAI's Productivity GainsAs we barrel into the AI-powered era, we can take one of two perspectives:* GenAI products are the next evolution of SaaS: Precise tools for specific workflows* LLMs are the next evolution of social media, where instead of degrading our interpersonal relationships, AI will addict us to easy and often incorrect informationThe majority of the research identified productivity gains and time savings, which would support the goal of GenAI as a professional advantage. But when you dig into the data, there are concerns.Many are funded by Microsoft, OpenAI, and Google, like this one showing that GitHub Copilot users completed tasks 55.8% faster than the control group. While that result was impressive, they were being assessed on their ability to complete a very basic task. The paper's results were boosted by showing that people with less experience benefit more from coding assistants, something that should worry anyone concerned about being replaced by cheaper talent who are boosted by AI.But these results were refuted in a separate study where no DevOps productivity gains were found from using the same GitHub Copilot. That study found the code quality to be poor, leading to a 41% increase in bugs!Remember that GitHub is owned by Microsoft and powered by OpenAI's foundation model, ChatGPT.This contradictory data highlights a paradox of GenAI: The technology is increasingly more successful at a basic task-level, but shouldn't be over-relied on to do our work for us. This Danish study hammers that point home: Time saved by AI offset by new work created. If we shake ourselves out of the AI hype stupor, we can critically examine the current state of LLMs more like SaaS tools. 95% of SaaS tools available won't help you and your business. Once you find the right tool for your hyper-specific use case, the AI product's success will depend on its implementation and the first-party data entered into it.Thanks for reading Design of AI: Strategies for Product Teams & Agencies! More Research about Using AIBehavioural research about AI should be considered a counterpoint to the benefits of AI. Yes, leveraging GenAI will have productivity gains in specific circumstances. But the technology also brings with it risks and considerations that built into the design and business case of “should we build this” discussions.* Increased AI use linked to eroding critical thinking skills* When experiencing time pressures, we're more susceptible to misinformation* AI systems are already capable of deceiving humans* People Facing Life-or-Death Choice Put Too Much Trust in AI* AI's Trust Problem: Twelve persistent risks of AI that are driving skepticismCatch up on Recent Design of AI Episodes31.

Happy Satiated Saturday! How do you currently view symptoms or impulses in your body?Are they something to be fixed? Are they wrong or bad? Are you afraid of them when they increase? If you said yes to these questions, you might notice how does it feel in your body to view the body's symptoms and impulses as wrong, bad, fearful, and need of fixing? Something I've been teaching for a while is that your food coping mechanisms are not a problem. Often, what needs to be updated is how you respond to your body when it is sending you communication through a symptom or urge.

About Jim Bishop:With over two decades of immersive experience in executive development, corporate leadership, and human performance, Jim Bishop stands as a beacon of transformative leadership through his business, Conjunction Leadership. Jim's journey has taken him across the globe, coaching executives, and diverse teams and orchestrating the modernization of leadership systems for transforming business units. Having collaborated with industry giants like Eli Lilly, Roche, and Elanco, Jim recognized the pivotal role of a visionary leader willing to first work on themselves while revitalizing their culture. This catalyzed the birth of Conjunction Leadership in 2020, where Jim provides executive coaching and team development solutions. As a certified coach by the International Coaching Federation and a Certified Leadership Facilitator with Blanchard, Jim's methods are a blend of science and art. He empowers executives through executive coaching, corporate culture consulting, and team effectiveness programs, focusing on holistic development within volatile contexts. At Conjunction Leadership, transformation starts within. The exclusive DISRUPT, BRIDGE, and GROW process guides leaders on a journey of self-discovery, mindset shifts, and measurable growth. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Jim Bishop discuss:The importance of creating space for people to be present, manage their energy, and be self-reflectiveThe challenges faced by successful leaders in their forties who pursue goals based on others' expectations rather than their own desiresThe impact of the pandemic and social unrest on redefining leadership to include both masculine and feminine energiesThe need for leaders to slow down decision-making processes and embrace variations of gray in a world bombarded with informationThe importance of leaders taking stock of their emotions and regulating their behavior to create a calm and productive environment Key Takeaways:Leaders must be skilled at creating space for people to be present, manage their energy, and engage in self-reflection to achieve optimal results.Successful leaders in their forties may experience dissatisfaction and depression if they pursue goals based on others' expectations rather than their own passions and values.The pandemic and social unrest have led to a new employee value proposition that emphasizes meaning, connection, and a more holistic understanding of individuals in the workplace, recognizing the importance of both masculine and feminine leadership energies.In a world bombarded with information, leaders need to slow down decision-making processes and embrace variations of gray to facilitate more productive conversations and better decisions.Leaders must take stock of their emotions and regulate their behavior to create a calm and productive environment, preventing burnout and helping to solve societal issues. "By leading with grace and ease, leaders can help solve societal issues and prevent burnout.” — Jim Bishop Connect with Jim Bishop:  Website URL: www.conjunctionleadership.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesdbishop/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conjunctionleadership/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/conjunctionleadership   See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel Alvarez Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Theories, digressions, amazing points, laughs. Wow! I'm not sure I would describe this as an interview, but instead a tour du force from one of my favourite people in behaviour science.In 1hr and 42 minutes, we cover examples of the earliest behavioural scientists (Jesus and Aesop), to dog s*&t, horsepower, John Cleese, serial killers, naturism and a whole lot more!Rory Sutherland joined Ogilvy and Mathers as a graduate trainee and planner in 1988, becoming the creative director in 2001, from 2008 to 2012 he served as president of the institute of practitioners in advertising. In 2012 Rory founded the behavioural science practice within the Ogilvy group, whose goal is to develop marketing techniques inspired by the fields of psychology and economics rather than shape customers desires through conventional advertising. In his book, Alchemy, the power of ideas that don't make sense, Rory argues that marketing ideas are built around a core that is profoundly irrational. Just a few of the vast array of themes from Rory's incredible mind include:Why Jesus was a master of loss aversion.How irrational stories drive rational behaviourThe importance of anecdotal informationThe real reasons we make the decisions we doWhy we should stop asking the customerHow to make waiting lists a positiveWhy a meeting with no agenda is good sometimesWhy most inventors are really marketersWhy metrics are a distraction Thanks as ever to my co-host Dr Tiago Moutela, and as ever to our partners the Behavioural Science in Public Health Network (BSPHN).​

Do you suffer from a fear of public speaking?If your answer is yes, you aren't alone! In fact, approximately 25% of the population suffer from a fear of public speaking (Wuench, 2021).On my podcast, Garry's Shortlist, I had the pleasure of speaking with Sean Tyler Foley - author, international business advisor and speaker who helps clients transform into captivating, confident speakers.In particular, we discuss his book ‘The Power to Speak Naked: How to Speak with Confidence, Communicate Effectively, and Win Your Audience.' Don't fear, you aren't expected to become the next Tony Robbins! Rather, the book is designed to help individuals share their message with confidence, whether it be in a meeting with stakeholders, clients or your own team.Here are Sean's three key takeaways for a great presentation:Think of yourself as a FACILITATOR of conversation as opposed to a deliverer of informationThe topic your afraid to discuss is probably what your audience needs to hear the MOSTEncourage and invite participationI would like to leave you with a reminder from Sean. As a presenter, aim to be AUTHENTIC and natural over perfect - an important point that applies beyond the business landscape.Check out Sean's website and book here:https://www.seantylerfoley.com/https://www.amazon.com.au/Power-Speak-Naked-communicate-effectively/dp/1513648950Cheers, Gaz

A taboo topic for some but this is truly life-saving information which is why we're talking about it. Meet Justine Ang Fonte, a health educator who survived a bit of a scandal in 2021 to come out the other side of it as an even stronger advocate for herself and her students. Joining us to help us understand why we want to start talking about sex ed as early as Pre-K and how to talk about it with our own families at all ages, this episode will likely redefine for you what sex ed actually means. While it might now include pornography literacy, it's also about so much more than intercourse. Listen in! I can't wait to hear your thoughts.   Outline:Welcome backMeet Justine Ang FonteThe 2021 controversy around Justine's lessons for studentsWhy are people so uncomfortable with sex ed?Reframe sex ed: this is life-saving informationThe health gap impacts the achievement gapWhat parents will teach vs what schools can teachConsider what environment feels safe to the childBody image, sexuality & sexualization at every ageModeling languageSex ed curriculum at homeA commercial, a movieHow do you have a conversation about bodily autonomy given the public context and the Supreme Court review of Roe v WadePorn literacy: what is it & why is it importantBalancing sex positivity and protecting our kidsHow to have these conversations with your kidsWhat to say to Pre-K studentsWhat to say to middle & high school age kidsSetting boundaries: teaching it & practicing itThe "Golden Rule" vs the "Platinum Rule"Justine's ghostwritingFinal thoughts Links:Become a MemberConnect with us!

In a society where polarizing arguments have become increasingly more common, along with heated political division and clashes on social media, it sure can feel overwhelming to try and have a respectful conversation about today's issues.And that's not the only struggle.Add to the mix that different news sources often report from vastly different perspectives and biases, it can feel like a huge struggle to even get the facts about an issue in the first place.So, how can we overcome our own biases, work to hear both sides of the issue, investigate the real facts beneath political division, and have respectful conversations with the aim to understand rather than to win an argument?In this episode, Jordan sets out to answer those questions with guest Sharon McMahon, the woman often referred to as "America's Government Teacher."If you have ever felt intimidated by the growing prevalence of polarizing views, misinformation, and political division, then make sure you tune in to this episode to learn:What biases are and how to spot them in ourselves and in the mediaWays to determine which sources are reputableThe role experts play (and don't play) in the distribution of informationThe importance of our role in holding the media accountableHow to have conversations with people you disagree with, in person and on social mediaTo learn more from Sharon McMahon, visit her website at www.sharonmcmahon.com.Want to sign up for my new "While You Wait Workshop" before registration closes on January 17th?

We send and receive email every day so  it would seem natural to send emails to your patients. But what if the emails contain protected health information? How do you make email HIPAA compliant?How you will use email with protected health informationThe first questions to ask are, “Is my email network is behind a firewall?” Are you only emailing protected health information between you and your staff within the confines of the firewall? If you answer yes to both questions, then you don't need to encrypt your emails. But, you do need access controls for email accounts so that only those individuals who are authorized have access to protected health information.On the other hand, if you intend to use email to send protected health information externally, you are responsible for protecting the protected health information—in other words, making it HIPAA compliant.  Encryption is the key to making your email HIPAA-compliant but it's not that simple. Many email service providers that offer an encrypted email service are not HIPAA compliant because they do not incorporate all the necessary safeguards to meet the requirements of the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules.  Here are some of the things you will want to consider to make your email is HIPAA compliant Ensure you have end-to-end encryption for emailEnter into a HIPAA-compliant business associate agreement with your email providerThe most important step—Develop policies on the use of email and train your staffEmails containing PHI need to be retained for 6 yearsSecure, encrypted email archiving saves storage space and is indexed making its easier to searchObtain consent from patients before communicating with them by emailHIPAA email compliance should be included in your compliance plan. You don't want something we all do every day—send and receive emails to get you into HIPAA trouble. If you are unsure of the requirements of HIPAA compliant speak with a healthcare attorney that specializes in HIPAA to advise you of your responsibilities and the requirements of HIPAA with respect to email.For a full searchable copy of the transcript, https://www.thepracticebuildingmd.com/podcastIf you'd like to hear more tips on how to start, run and grow your practice and related medical businesses, please sign up for my newsletter at https://www.thepracticebuildingmd.com.    And, be sure to join my FB group, The Private Medical Practice Academy.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk: true-life, practical, funny, heart-breaking, insightful human experience stories from women who are walking their lives while their lives walk them and the lasting difference these journeys have made. I’m your host, Diane Wyzga.Today my guest is Dr. Carmel Finnan of Story Dialogue who’s joining us from Berlin, Germany. I met Carmel on LinkedIn where she writes well and eloquently about the need to reclaim what storytelling really is and should be in the business world. Her mission is to re-ignite authentic story in a world where ‘fake’ and ‘manipulation’ have taken the driver’s seat in business. Why? Because when we become active participants in each other’s stories we are conversing and connecting. As Carmel says, “Successful businesses know that storytelling is the key to creating a sustainable community and real client connection.” Let’s learn more about how to improve our communication and storytelling skills through Story Dialogue. Welcome to the podcast, Carmel! Minutes: 33:0800 to 2:08    Intro2:08 to 9:30     Start From Where You AreIn the dark is a nice time to tell storiesIf I met up with you on a hiking trail what’s the first thing I’d notice about you?Carmel likes to travel light and have the necessitiesGrew up in Ireland s prepared for rainGood shoes, suitable clothes, a bottle of water, and her eyes on the world around herAnd if we had some time to walk along together what might I get to know (about you)?Somebody who has done a lotGrew up on small farm in very rural IrelandLived a conventional life, began working at 18 years, life laid down before her until she drew the pension and retiredDidn’t work out for me so left the government job to travelHad an academic career studying in Ireland and GermanyUprooted again, left the academic life, and decided to live a free-er lifeSet up own company; was waiting for bridge to appear:  when the bridge comes I’ll walk over it but it never appearedWhen you jump you get your wings so you have to be wiling to take that leap of faithWhat have I always enjoyed doing: reading, scribbling, literature, cultural studies, storyReturned to creative writing, business storytelling and threw her stake in the groundSurprisingly interesting, frustrating, and satisfying to work with those who don’t have personal link to storytellingPeople have a connection to story they don’t know they haveIn the end another form of teaching: take the student to the place where they don’t need you anymoreAnd how did that lead you to Story Dialogue?Guides her clients to discover what they already knowClients know what authentic marketing message is - your core storyShe knows that even though they don’t know they know it and she will help you discover itListening deeply, responding, drawing out the storyHer parenting recalls a book:  how to talk so your children will listen and how to listen so your children will talkCreate the space and let the other person fill that space9:30 to 15:10     What Story Is and Certainly Is NotStory Dialogue and the Story Dialogue ProcessStory is dialogue and emotional connection. Tell us more about this, how it works, and the benefits for the global community.My work Story Dialogue (listening deeply to each other/ reflecting/ responding ) is a candle in the dark; our only chance of a way forward in a polarized worldStory Dialogue is set within authentic marketing approachLet go of hustle, hype, sell, buzz words, story selling machineCandle in the dark: keeps her finger on the pulse of business Storytelling is still all about sales - how do we encourage to people to tell their story and what is that storyWhat is the story that is being told? Back to the Hero’s Journey formula as manipulation to winning, success and living happily every afterwardsThis is not what it’s about or why we tell storiesStory is about head (cognitive) + heart (emotions)+ hands (actions)Story does all thatStory motivates and inspires us to take an action for good, not about the profit, earnings, bank account; but a shift in values, an insight that set you in another directionThe outcome is individual but the process of the struggle is all about letting go or realizing the taking awayWhat is universal: face a challenge and not really know the way forwardOur story is about finding our way through struggle, conflict, challengeThe identification is finding our own wayOur job: trust ourselves, ask for help, be willing to let go, question the values we have - this is story15:10 to 18:10     How Story Should Show Up in MarketingDr. Finnan invites clients who are keen on developing their own voice - leaving behind sales jargon or shiny object speak  - to build a community, connectionHow is conventional marketing self-serving? Hustle, leads,The alternative is building a communityDifference between dialogue and conversation: Dialogue is reflection while conversation is maneuvering. And don’t we all find ourselves in conversation thinking we are dialoguing - talk to us about thatHow do we reach the people who are looking for us?We listen to the people, hear what they’re saying about their dilemma and then we, in essence reflect back the story, as a way to say, “I hear you.”When another feels heard it takes them out of Lizard Brain response and into frontal cortex - the beginning of trust buildingLeave behind the FormulaEngaging in conscious story which is different from “I suffered - I succeeded!”18:10 to 22:00     Story Dialogue Process -> click here to see Process Diagram on Home PageThe intersection of the circles is common groundA shared space is the seeds of connection; we need it in life,  business, in society, etc.What’s happening? Instead, we are sewing seeds of fear, manipulation, agenda-based, and outcome-basedAuthentic story creates connection - first and foremostDialogue: story is a different quality of conversation; dialogue is a synonym for conversation BUT! There is no pre-set agenda or outcome, open, happens in the moment, a joint journey of discovery with the personDialogue is a process of coming to a place of insight and discoveryThe insight we gain is the partnership toward deep understandingGoal: deep understandingDialogue requires a willingness to listen, reflect and let go of expectationsSit naked (metaphorically speaking) when you dialogue with another22:00 to 30:00      Listen, Reflect, and Let Go Applied to Marketing/Business ScenarioHow does this awareness and approach help our marketing efforts? What tips do you have to help us shift into dialoguing?Dr. Finnan begins with the client about their clients: what are your clients saying to you? How are they describing an issue, what they need/want, so you know the words they choose, how they speakAsk openly to receive valuable informationThe information might cause you to change your product, your serviceWait with your own agenda by listening to how your clients speak, say, articulate their challenge, dilemmaThe client may end up changing the niche they’re inWe don’t know where this will end up and there will be a surprise where we land by following this clear processShe and client will follow a clear pathway and will be in the right place at the conclusionWillingness and reciprocity between her and clients which breaks down old narratives, conventional narratives, the old ways of being and doingThere is excitement now!When you let go of pre-set agenda and pre-set outcomes there is a space to create, the next opens up, new discoveriesRe-discovery of their (client’s) own wisdom, intuition, gut feeling, own knowingness is excitingPriceless being part of this experience!Helping others to change how people do business by empowering them to follow their inner wisdom, step out of norms, trust othersReal revolutions/evolutions are happening in small spaces, communities and businesses; the conventional spacesToday people are assessing and re-assessing their values, making changes, the revolutions and evolutions are underwayMinute 30:00 to 33:08     New Heroes - New Frontiers When I talked with you earlier, you made a very powerfully assertive statement along these lines: that COVID opened our eyes to how conventional narratives are eroding and you see us standing on a threshold of new narratives, new frontiers. It is time for us to be the heroes of our own story. Who do you see as the new heroes? What does this open frontier to next look like to you? Join us for more in Part 2 which airs Thursday 18th March 2021Here we are, at the end of the road but not the journey. Thank you for listening to Part 1 of this episode of Stories From Women Who Walk with your host Diane Wyzga and my guest Dr. Carmel Finnan storyteller, blogger, consultant, and founder of Story Dialogue in Berlin, Germany. Join us next week for Part 2 where we get to hear more of Dr. Finnan’s story and the answer to my question: following COVID’s eroding of old narratives  who do you see are the new heroes and what does this open frontier look like to you?

She works with professionals & small business owners who are tired of the complex, expensive marketing tactics on offer and want an effective, simple alternative based on human-to-human connection.Dr. Finnan developed a marketing strategy around the principle of ‘storytelling as dialogue’, i.e. replacing the conventional monologue form of taking AT an audience with dialogue where we learn to listen, reflect and then respond to our audience.She believes that ‘dialogue is not just a different way of doing business, it’s also a more meaningful and authentic way of engaging with others and with the world.Dr. Finnan currently works and lives in Berlin, Germany.How To Stay in Touch With Dr. Finnanhttps://www.storydialogue.comcarmel@storydialogue.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/carmelfinnan/

A common question people ask is, “can property values continue to rise at the same rate which they have over the past 3 to 4 decades?” The short answer is no, they cannot. Mathematically, this is unlikely to occur as incomes are not rising at the same pace.I came across the interesting graphic/visualisation (below) which sets out how property values have changed in real terms (excluding inflation) since 1970. The surprise for me was how much Canberra prices have risen (thanks, public servants and politicians!) and how attractive Brisbane prices appear.https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/4555913/What has driven growth over the past 3 to 4 decades?In order to form a view with respect to future property growth, it is important to understand what has driven property values over the past few decades. There have been some events which are unlikely to be repeated. Below are some of the key factors, in no particular order.Population growthAustralia’s population has been growing at a faster rate than other developed countries, mainly due to higher levels of overseas immigration. Population growth increases demand for housing, especially in capital cities as skilled migrants are attracted to job opportunities.Increase in access to borrowingsAustralians are borrowing 2 to 3 times more than they were in the 1970s. Banking deregulation in the ’80s and ‘90s opened up more competition between lenders and reduced home loan margins i.e. mortgages became cheaper. The tables were turned, and suddenly potential borrowers were being approached (marketed to) by the banks, not the other way around.Increase in household incomeIn a family unit, it is a lot more common for both spouses to work compared to fifty years ago. In fact, often it is necessary for both spouses to work in order to afford to live in their desired location. The transition from one to two household incomes has extended property purchasing power.People are buying their first home later in lifeIn my experience, most first home buyers are in their late twenties to early thirties. This is partly because homes are relatively unaffordable for younger people in their early twenties.But also, younger people tend to prefer to focus on their career thereby maximising their income earning capacity before they buy a home and/or have children. This puts them in a relatively stronger financial position compared to first home buyers 50 years ago.Access to more informationThe internet has opened up a wealth of information. People are able to educate themselves about how to build wealth with property, including the advantages of borrowing to invest. This blog is an example of this. I write over 50,000 words a year, sharing almost 20 years of experience, which people can read for free. Such information was non-existent before the 2000s.More, bigger, betterDrive around a newly developed residential suburb and you will notice that the homes are massive. More bedrooms, bigger living areas and smaller back yards. New home buyers are building larger homes with improved amenities and finishes compared to a few decades ago. These improvements contribute towards the increase in the value of property. The same is true when people renovate existing properties in established locations.All of the above factors have contributed significantly to property price growth over the past 3 to 4 decades.Which of these will reoccur over the next 20 plus years?Some of the above factors will persist, some won’t, and some might impede future growth. Here are the factors that I think will influence property price growth over the next few decades.Population growth will be equal or higherOf course, the negative health and economic impacts caused by Covid have been devastating, and I don’t seek to diminish that. However, from a global perspective, Australia’s handling of the virus will be looked upon very favourably. Whilst New Zealand has also done well, Australia offers more job opportunities.As such, I think Australia’s handling of the virus will be the biggest contributor to an increase in demand for immigration in the future. Assuming the government’s immigration policy remains unchanged, our population growth rate is likely to be the same or higher over the coming decades. This will be a positive contributor to property demand.Borrowing capacity will not increaseBanks are willing to lend borrowers approximately two to three times more compared to the 1980s. However, borrowing capacity has reduced over recent years. In summary, lending capacity rose significantly between early 1990s and 2007/8. However, since the GFC, borrowing capacity has contracted. It is my view that borrowing capacity won’t change materially from hereon in.Therefore, the event of large increases in borrowing capacity (i.e. loose lending standards) won’t be repeated again.Incomes will also constrain borrowing capacityIt is unlikely that incomes will rise at a rate greater than inflation, at least not in the foreseeable future anyway. That means, in real terms, incomes will either be flat or falling.In addition, in my experience, families with young children are already working as much as they can, so there’s limited ability to increase their income further. As such, the income uplift created by both spouses seeking work (compared to just one), won’t be repeated. [As a side note, the cost of childcare is a real problem. People often balk at the cost of private school fees, but childcare can sometimes cost more.]Overall, at a macro level, supply of new lending and incomes will not have the same positive impact on property growth as they did previously.Congestion will get worseMost economists and demographers would agree that Australia has under-invested in infrastructure including roads and public transport. As such, our capital cities are becoming more congested. This trend is unlikely to ease anytime soon. As such, living closer to the CBD becomes even more attractive.Yes, working from home will be a permanent trend. But I believe that most people will opt for a hybrid model consisting of a few days in the office and a few at home. More importantly, there are other attractions to living in a city including proximity to family and friends, schools and recreational/entertainment opportunities.These factors will likely include demand for, and therefore prices of, property growth located in inner-ring, blue-chip locations.Economic inequality will get worseSadly, the gap between rich and poor gets wider each year. Unfortunately, Covid will exacerbate this as the lockdowns have clearly impacted lower income earners (whereas data shows the top 40% of income earners have not been impacted at all).If this trend continues (and it almost certainly will) there will be a significant cohort of high-income earners that will be willing and able to pay more for property in sort after locations. As such, the value gap between blue-chip locations and outer suburbs will widen.We may not be able to rely upon a rising tideAs the saying goes, in a rising tide, all ships rise. Since the early 1980s, the property market has benefited from a rising tide (for the reasons discussed above). You could have bought a property in the early 80’s in any capital city in Australia and it would have made you a lot of money.But the tide may not continue to rise. Population growth is probably the only factor that will universally contribute to positive property value appreciation. However, apart from that, the factors that have helped middle-to-lower income earners increase their purchasing power over the past few decades, probably won’t repeat themselves.Not all property will rise in value perpetuallyThis means the type and location of the property you invest in will matter a lot more over the next few decades than it did over the previous few decades.It is best to adopt the investment assumption that the ‘rising tide’ will not continue. Therefore, asset selection is critical to get right.Even if this assumption turns out to be incorrect, you’ll achieve better than average returns.

Displacing pen and paper isn’t that easy in the wine world.  SevenFifty, an online wine marketplace, has been innovating in the full value chain of wine to bring things online.  Starting with distributors, Aaron Sherman, CEO of SevenFifty, tells Robert and Peter about his plans to become a full-funnel sales & marketing platform for the wine world, with solutions for distributors, suppliers, and both on- and off-premise retailers.  Aaron digs into how the platform works today and the innovations on the horizon.  Detailed Show Notes: Aaron’s background - grew up in a restaurant and wine family was a sommelier and beverage director in New York and Los AngelesThe inspiration for SevenFifty - wanted a better way than pen and paper, which is what distributors used back in 2008-2009The SevenFifty PlatformFrom the trade account perspective a wine buyer, sommelier, or beverage director signs up, attaches an account to a liquor license, then can search what’s available in their marketThey can build lists of items, build orders online, send credit applications to distributors with one click, and view a local events calendarFor distributor sales reps (~35,000 sales reps have access to these tools)Can see the competitive set in their marketCan explore their own portfolio and build tasting sheets, proposals, and digital order formsIncludes a lightweight CRM to track customer interactionsFor producersCan claim their productsConsolidate data across their distributorsAdd more product informationThe intention is to target all parts of the supply chain, starting with distributorsThe biggest challenge today is integration into the “source of truth” - accounting or ERP systems of distributors, focused on integrating to other 3rd party systems to drive online orderingHas built the largest product data library in the countrySevenFifty today - the largest alcoholic beverage marketplace, active in almost every state, >1,000 distributors, >100,000 on and off-premise retailers, >$1 billion in gross merchandise volume (sales volume on the marketplace); ~100 employees in 2020How users search for wines - ~50/50 split between looking at categories of wines vs. looking for specific wines and brandsHow do distributors sell more wine with SevenFifty?Access to customersLets buyers discover products within a distributor’s portfolioBusiness model - subscription-based software for distributors, suppliers, and the newest product, storefronts (for retailers); in the future, plan on launching a product for on-premise accountsBridge Acquisition - great technology for wine retail e-commerce, synergistic with Beverage Media Group’s BevSites (also acquired)Beverage Media - long history of representing distributors, editorial content compliments SevenFifty Daily

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast I am speaking to Sports Science Coordinator & Assistant Strength & Conditioning at Miami Dolphins, Adam Lachance. Adam has a fascinating story, coming from a military background and ending up at the Dolphins after studying at the University of Miami. For someone who by his own admission is more or an S&C coach than what we may class as a sports scientist, he is doing an incredible job. Bridging the gap between the two roles and the technical coaches is something we dive deep into during this episode as I feel that this is sometimes missed in conversations about sports technology.If you enjoyed this episode with Adam Lachance, you may enjoy these episodes that also discuss force plate analysis with Eric Renaghan, Daniel Cohen, and Phil Graham Smith.In this episode, we discuss -Who is Adam Lachance (background, education and current role)How the military has influenced your career?What pro sport can learn from the militaryForce plate analysisPerformanceCollecting trainable metricsImproving metrics through trainingReadiness & fatigueMetrics and analysisReviewing technologyWhich metrics can we trust?Feedback of informationThe sports science positionUnderstanding the constraints of the game, environment, competitionBeing athlete facing vs being behind a laptopAdam can be found on LinkedIn HERE. This episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast is sponsored by Output Sports – a Swiss Army Knife for optimising off field performance.

This episode is the replay of a conversation between Ram Sareen and David Birnbaum hosted by Just-Style in the Cut the Noise webinar on September 23, 2020.The key to developing a fashion business strategy is problem solving. Problem solving is not that difficult. It is not rocket science. Then again, to the rocket scientist, rocket science is not that difficult at least when compared to filling out a tax return. It is just what we do.Problem solving is a three-part process:Agree there is a problemRecognize that solving the problem is sufficiently important to pay the priceDevise a comprehensive integrated strategy based on accurate informationThe obstacle is all about point 3. Using accurate information. In truth, we are all drowning in a sea of noise.Some start with a solution, then shoehorn the data to fit that solution. Others employ one dataset to prove their point when a second or even a third dataset would provide better, more accurate information.This seminar serves two purposes.To show how to separate out the noise and devise a strategy based on accurate informationTo provide solutions for serious problems facing Asia’s garment export industriesThis is not some academic, theoretical exercise but practical, doable strategies that can materially affect millions of lives.One final question: Why present this on a public platform? Would it not be better to speak directly to relevant governments and/or the national industry organizations?Industries, countries, and perhaps the entire world are run by a dominant minority. It is only during a time of crisis, such as now, that the dominant minority can be replaced by a new creative minority. However, the dominant minority will not go down without a fight. Effecting real change requires ownership of the tools of change. Going to governments allows them to distort the process to protect themselves and their power. Going public denies the ability to distort.Tukatalks is the show where fashion industry experts share real-world knowledge gained through hands-on experience.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tukatalksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/tukatalksTwitter: https://twitter.com/tukatalks

205 Billion Apps will be downloaded this year...The most used app - Facebook with 2.3 billion active usersThe average person has between 60-90 apps on their phone.They use on average 25 apps during the monthThey use on average 10 apps 96% of timeMost apps are deleted within a week...77% of all apps are deleted after 3 days90% of all apps are deleted after 30 daysWhy do people download and then delete apps?Use lots more resources than expected ($, memory and battery)Don’t function properly - cause problems while using or to other experiencesDon’t live up to their promisesInterrupt - notifications, updatesVulnerable to dangers (bad material, spyware,DeceptiveTheir presence creates a negative user experience, so they are deleted.REALITY: We are far better at recognizing and deleting bad apps from our phones than we are at recognizing/removing bad apps that we develop during our life journey. But to become the person God wants us to be to experience all that He has for us, we have to participating in this process of deleting bad apps, because they are there.Acts 8:21–23 (ESV) (Peter to Simon The Magician) ...your heart is not right before God. Repent, therefore, of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you. For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity.”The Setting Of Acts 8Acts 8:3 (ESV) But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after house, he dragged off men and women and committed them to prison.Acts 8:4 (ESV) Now those who were scattered went about preaching the word.When bad things happen, God redeems them in the lives of believers for His and their good.I fully expect for God to use COVID for good!Acts 8:5 (ESV) Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ.On of the original 12 disciplesActs 8:6–8 (ESV) And the crowds with one accord paid attention to what was being said by Philip, when they heard him and saw the signs that he did. For unclean spirits, crying out with a loud voice, came out of many who had them, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed. So there was much joy in that city.Words win over the mind, but a demonstration of power wins over hearts.Words alone has to rely on a well crafted argument - informationThe church today has a lot of information, but little demonstration.It has crafted an argument as to why there is no demonstrationSamaria already had a ton of informationJohn 4:16–18 (ESV) Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.” The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband’; for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.”John 4:19–20 (ESV) The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”John 4:24 (ESV) God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship John 4:24 (ESV) God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”John 4:25 (ESV) The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, he will tell us all things.” John 4:26 (ESV) Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he.”John 4:29 (ESV) “Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?”Leonard Ravenhill - “A man with an experience of God is never at the mercy of a man with an argument.”L. H. Hardwick - A man with an experience is never at the mercy of a man with an opinion.” It’s important for us to declare truth, but it’s critical for us to look for moments to see the power of God released.“THERE WAS MUCH JOY IN THE CITY - REVIVAL!Revival is more the result of the positioning of people for God to move rather than the moving of God.OUR LIFE APPS ARE WRITTEN ONE EXPERIENCE AT A TIME.During the early stages of our life, every different experience becomes the lab in which we write the code for the app for navigating similar related experiences in the future. These include our interactions with:FriendshipsMoneyFamilyLonelinessRejectionPeople in authority: men/womenSexualityDiscouragementSuccessFailureSelf imageCriticismGodChurchAPART FROM GOD, OUR APPS ARE FLAWED.We have experiences.We lack information.We misunderstand.We are deceived.We get bad input.We formulate responses.We are prepared for a similar situation, incorrectly.Acts 8:9–11 (ESV) But there was a man named Simon, who had previously practiced magic in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was somebody great. They all paid attention to him, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the power of God that is called Great.” And they paid attention to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his magic.His whole life was based on deception for gain - magicA means to wealth and fame.He wanted this fame so badly that he lied and told them he was someone greatHe clearly began this as a young man - And they paid attention to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his magic.Everyone (least to great) paid attention to him - self made rockstarWe love to be deceived (magician, haunted houses, We are so hungry to see greatness that we listen to people with the confidence to say, “I am GREAT!”“This man is the power of God that is called Great.” (supernatural, spiritual)Every culture without the power of God is hungry/thirsty for a replacementRipe for a con: someone to convince them through deception of a replacement and their representation.Simon has developed his app for now and for the future!Acts 8:12–13 (ESV) But when they believed Philip as he preached good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Even Simon himself believed, and after being baptized he continued with Philip. And seeing signs and great miracles performed, he was amazed.JESUS SAVES, BUT OUR BAD APPS CAN LIVE ON,Acts 8:17–19 (ESV) Then they laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit. Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money, saying, “Give me this power also, so that anyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”If only our salvation meant that all of the bad code were removed!Similar experiences trigger bad apps.Functioning in a bad app leads to bad outcomes.We get trapped as we revert to what we know instead of what God wants to do.That’s exactly what Simon did!Can you recognize the activation of a bad app in your life?TRUST GODS CATALYST FOR DELETING OLD APPS AND DOWNLOADING NEW ONES.God loves youHe wants better for you.He is unwilling to leave you as you are.Discipleship is the process of having our flawed apps deleted and replaced with His new ones.Life will bring along a catalyst to expose the bad app.Reading the BibleListening to a sermon.Reading a book.The voice of the Holy Spirit.Spiritual leaders.Trust the catalyst and allow the surgery to happen there.The catalyst for Simon required spiritual leadership.Acts 8:20–23 (ESV) But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money! You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God. Repent, therefore, of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you. For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity.”Can you trust your spiritual leaders to be the catalyst for transformation?Acts 8:24 (ESV) And Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that nothing of what you have said may come upon me.”Closing: 2 Corinthians 7:1 (ESV) Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.

Fabrice Canel with Jason Barnard at The Bing Series Fabrice canel talks to Jason Barnard about Bingbot. Fabrice was on the podcast last year talking about Javascript and the new indexing API. That was very interesting and he shared quite a few insights... If you would rather read than watch or listen, here is an article I wrote based on this conversation >> This Episode Takes the Conversation a BIG step Further https://youtu.be/dSSZeTYOtMk This conversation is on a whole different planet. Fabrice is head of the entire discovery-crawling-extracting-indexing process. Think about how much that involves. And how important he and his team are to the process of getting your content to the top of the results. You cannot hope to get your content into search results if it isn't found, crawled, extracted and indexed... and since he manages every single one of those steps, he is a person we really need to listen to. Bingbot and Googlebot Function in Much the Same Way Obviously they don't function exactly the same way down to the tiniest detail. But close enough ... the process is exactly the same (discover, crawl, extract, index)the content they are indexing is exactly the samethe problems they face are exactly the samethe underlying technology they use is the same So the details of exactly how they achieve each step will differ. But they are faced with the same environment and aim to do the same thing - index the web effectively. So, we can safely assume Google deals with the discovery-crawling-extracting-indexing process in a manner very, very close to Bing. Just think about whatever industry you are in - details differ, but every competitor uses the same foundation. Easy to forget, but this is just another industry. So same here. Google functions much the same way as Bing. And vice versa. Close enough for us not to need to worry too much about the differences. Stunning Insights. I Learned sooooo Much. The conversation with Frédéric Dubut that kicked off this series (this episode recorded at UnGagged) suddenly looks tame and unrevealing. A simple 'mise en bouche', as we say in French. Listen and Learn Google collaborate with Bing on ChromiumThey discover 70 billion new webpages every dayBingbot pre-filters to stores only the 'best' contentNew technology is coming out for rendering (Machine Learning + Javascript)Standardised HTML is powerfulBing (and we can safely assume Google) is getting exponentially better at extracting informationThe process of storing the content is MUCH more important than you probably imagineEvery candidate set team at Bing relies on BingbotNofollow has always been just a hintSitemaps and RSS are incredibly importantIndexing includes annotation, and annotations are fundamentally important to all the other teams and their algosIndexing includes classification, and classification is fundamentally important to all the other teams and their algos In short, as SEOs, we all depend on Fabrice and his team to an extent most of of us have probably will only start to grasp after watching the episode. This is the foundation of ranking in search. Everything else depends on this. Fabrice is a truly lovely guy who wants to help you as a website manager... if only you'd help him help you. Here he tells you what he (and, presumably, his equivalent at Google) wants from you so that he can help you get your content to rank. Help them overcome their problems, and you WILL be rewarded.

More and more trans people are coming out at work, and elsewhere in their lives, and many people are wondering how they can best learn about the trans experience and support their colleagues, friends, and families. Natalie Egan (pronouns: she / her / hers), CEO and founder of Translator is championing diversity and inclusion through technology at scale. How can HR support the trans community?4-5% of the population is somewhere on the trans spectrum - and when you think about them and their families, it’s a huge segment of the population. The first thing HR departments should do is get educated on the specific needs of the trans community. Often the first person who comes out as trans at work has to take on the burden of educating the rest of the workforce - so HR departments can take on the work of being proactive with inclusive and supportive policies. Getting quality informationThe movable middle is composed of people who are open and interested, but unsure about where to get good quality information about the trans experience. Most information comes from the media - and that’s not always the best thing. You need to be intentional about seeking out information, and you shouldn’t be making assumptions about their lifestyle or intentions. Because trans people ARE in your community. Being an ally is an ongoing jobBeing an ally is way different than being a fan - allyship is active. It means being consistent, and doing the work of being an ally whether or not the trans person is in the room or not. It’s not hard to support someone who is transitioning, although it can feel awkward - there’s one simple thing you can say when someone tells you they are trans, or that they’re using another name or different pronouns: congratulations! You can also ask if there are any ways you can support your colleague, friend or family member. Although you may be tempted - it is *not* the time to ask a lot of detailed questions. If you’re curious - research! Treat your trans colleagues as humans - and have a little humility about the situation. Being self-aware is the first stepThe first step in real empathy is self-awareness, and understanding why we are the way we are, and how we got to where we are. Natalie talks about how growing up in a bubble of white male privilege meant they were disconnected from other people, and how lived experiences are different for everyone. Assimilation and homogenous culture is a liability. Diversity hedges risk - it’s true in investing and it’s true in communities - work-based or otherwise.
