We're back with another episode of Schauer Thoughts and this week we're taking a brief trip through the Carter Administration to explore it's ties to the agricultural industry and how that could've impacted women's health research for years to come. For legal purposes, this is all a hunch, a guess, and of course, *alleged* and I strongly recommend checking out the resources when this wraps. I hope you find this episode illuminating.

Most AI initiatives fail. Not because of the model. Because organizations skip the boring, essential engineering work that makes software survive contact with reality. Jake Dubin has spent 25 years building production systems, starting with neural networks that solved CAPTCHA back in 1999. He is the founder of Transcendent Software and is building CoffeeBreak, an AI platform focused on reliable human-centered workflows. In this episode, Jake breaks down why human in the loop almost never means what people think it means, what vibe coding is, and why it is quietly creating massive technical debt, and why the same fundamentals that built dependable software for decades still apply, no matter how powerful the model gets. If your AI investment is not delivering what you promised the board, this episode tells you exactly why.

Text us your thoughts on the episode or the show!Despite massive investment in AI, many organizations are struggling to generate meaningful business impact. Why? According to Paul Shirer, most companies are treating AI as a tooling problem when it's really a workflow and adoption problem.In this episode, hosts Michael Hartmann sit down with Paul, Founder & CEO of Infinite Ideas AI and Director of AI & GTM Technology at Bridge Partners. Together, they discussed where AI adoption goes wrong, how leaders should think about workflow design and decision-making, and what it actually takes to move beyond experimentation toward measurable value.In this episode:Why AI is a workflow and adoption problem, not a tooling problemWhat's really causing the high failure rate of AI initiativesHow to tell useful AI adoption apart from "agent sprawl"Why Paul moved away from end-to-end automated workflows, and what changed his mindWhat a connected workspace looks like in practiceBalancing flexibility and governance when every team wants a custom solutionWhy the data layer matters even more in an AI-driven environmentWhether you're being asked to justify AI investments or trying to turn experimentation into real results, this is a practical conversation for operators closing the gap between AI hype and AI impact.Learn more about MarketingOps and The MO Pros community at MarketingOps.com.If you enjoyed this episode, do subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone in the ops community who would find it valuable.Episode Brought to You By MO Pros The #1 Community for Marketing Operations ProfessionalsSupport the show

Most organizations are extraordinarily good at activity and extraordinarily bad at progress. Meetings that produce more meetings. Initiatives launched before the last ones landed. Leaders who are permanently busy and chronically stuck. This is not a strategy problem. It is a pattern problem, and patterns live in culture, not in org charts. This episode examines the invisible cycles that keep organizations in motion without forward momentum: the norms, assumptions, and unspoken rules that make dysfunction feel like diligence.  In this episode: Meagan Bond, Tom Bradshaw, LindaAnn Rogers, Nic Kruegar, Stacy Lee, Rich Cruz I/O Career Accelerator Course: https://www.seboc.com/job Visit us https://www.seboc.com/ Follow us on LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/sebocLI Join an open-mic event: https://www.seboc.com/events References: Dweck, C.

Listen to today's podcast... “There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” This quote by Edith Wharton encourages us to bring light to someone who has been touched by the darkness. Many are living in darkness while struggling with illness. These illnesses may be depression, chronic pain, or battling cancer and the struggle they are facing may be draining the light from their life. Random Acts of Light encourage everyone to show a random act of light for a friend or loved one with cancer or other illness. Initiatives are being taken across the country to show support, one person at a time. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      So Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Random Acts Of Light Day: Light The Night showcases the progress being made in the cancer arena along with the importance of supporting patients, one at a time. Bring light to someone you know. This can be any random act, big or small. Surprise someone at the hospital with a meal, gift certificate or kind gesture. Gift a cancer patient or survivor with tickets to a sporting event, or gear from a favorite team. Treat a local survivor or patient or colleague to a manicure, pedicure or massage. Take those in need out for coffee, ice cream, breakfast, lunch or dinner. Sometimes it takes just one gentle word or small token to help overcome darkness.

Dylan Livingston on Longevity Policy, Right to Try, and Scaling the Longevity Dividend Jason Wright interviews Dylan Livingston, founder of the Alliance for Longevity Initiatives (A4LI), about advancing longevity through policy rather than products. Livingston traces his interest from discovering Aubrey de Grey as a teen to COVID-era experiences with his grandfather, which renewed his focus and led him to launch A4LI in 2022 as a coalition of longevity biotech companies. He describes passing a California resolution prioritizing longevity and healthy aging, framing the goal as achieving a “longevity dividend” worth trillions through reduced healthcare costs and increased productivity, and argues therapeutics can democratize longevity more than intensive lifestyle protocols. They discuss Right to Try, its limits under terminal-only access and liability concerns, and A4LI's work expanding access in Montana and New Hampshire for Phase 1-safe therapies. Livingston highlights AI-driven acceleration in biotech, cellular reprogramming with Yamanaka factors, and previews A4LI's Georgetown DC summit featuring major companies, researchers, policymakers, and a Capitol Hill briefing on US-China biotech competition. 00:00 Cold Open Banter 01:05 Why Longevity Policy 02:17 Dylan Origin Story 05:39 Launching The Alliance 08:24 Sponsor Message 09:18 California Policy Playbook 10:49 Longevity Dividend Explained 12:39 Therapeutics As Equalizer 13:44 Moral Case For Healthspan 17:48 Right To Try Primer 21:17 Fixing Right To Try 22:23 Biotech Valley Of Death 25:22 AI And Medical Gatekeeping 26:01 AI Health Coach Teaser 26:35 Plan Aware Health Coaching 27:31 Longevity Goals And Motivation 29:38 AI Accelerating Biotech 32:10 Cell Reprogramming Breakthroughs 34:32 Aging As Root Cause Policy 37:10 Wellness Mindset And Agency 40:15 Prevention Limits And Lifelong Care 44:33 DC Summit Agenda Preview 46:24 Hill Briefing And Biotech Race 49:20 Wrap Up And Medical Disclaimer

For more than 50 years, the Combined Federal Campaign has been a part of DC life. It's the world's biggest workplace charity, letting government employees steer money straight from their own paychecks to their chosen charities. It's especially important to charities here because so many feds live here. But the campaign is now on life support — threatened with termination by the Trump administration. Why target a beloved institution? Drew Friedman from Federal News Network has been covering the story, and according to her it's more complicated than it looks.  Want some more DC news?

Arturo Préstamo Elizondo, Executive Chairman and CEO of Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (TSX.V: SCZ) (NASDAQ: SCZM) (FSE: 1SZ), joins me for an exclusive visual review of the Q1 2026 financial and operational results across their portfolio of 4 producing silver-zinc mines and ore feed sourcing business in Bolivia and Mexico. We also review a few of the key growth initiatives that the company has slated for 2026 across multiple projects.    Q1 2026 Highlights   Revenues of $127.5 million, an 81% increase year-over-year. Gross profit of $42.9 million, a 54% increase year-over-year. Net income of $28.5 million, a 201% increase year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA of $42.6 million, a 55% increase year-over-year. Cash and highly-liquid marketable securities of $64.9 million, a 100% increase year-over-year. Working capital of $75.9 million, a 47% increase year-over-year. Average realized price per silver ounce sold of $63.30, a 128% increase year-over-year. AISC per silver ounce sold of $31.60, a 76% increase year-over-year. Realized mining margin per silver ounce sold of $31.70, a 221% increase year-over-year. Average realized price per zinc tonne sold of $3,116, a 12% increase year-over year. AISC per zinc tonne sold of $2,729, a 32% increase year-over-year.   When discussing the financial strength of the company, Arturo also highlighted that after paying $31.5 million in taxes during this first quarter, that the company ended Q1 2026 with a healthy cash and highly liquid marketable securities position of $64.9 million, providing Santacruz with the financial flexibility to continue funding operational improvements while maintaining a strong treasury position.   At the Bolivar Mine, the recovery of the areas affected by the May 2025 localized water inflow event continues to advance; with work focused on restoring production while maintaining operating discipline. The Company continues to expect Bolivar's full recovery by Q4 2026, with the dewatering program progressing ahead of plan, and now accessing again the high-grade silver veins –  Pomabamba and Nané.   The Porco Mine remains a smaller but solid contributor, and it is strategically located in the important Potosi district.   Arturo mentions that their 1,200 tonne per day plant also assists with processing ore from the San Lucas business unit.   Next we moved over to the Caballo Blanco Group of mines, which is the lowest cost and thus highest efficiency of their operations.  Colquechaquita and Tres Amigos are the 2 producing mines, but Arturo mentioned that the Company has now brought Esperanza Mine back into production during Q1, and that it should be a profitable smaller zinc-forward mine in this Caballo Blanco complex moving forward.   Their Zimapán Mine in Mexico is their highest-volume operation and will be another area of continued growth for Santacruz Silver in 2026. The capital already invested in Zimapan into plant equipment and improving mine efficiencies will allow for more throughput, accessing higher grade areas, and improving metals recoveries.   The operations team gained access to the high-grade 960 Level of the Zimpan Mine at the end of Q4, and already demonstrated to be a more significant contributing area of production in Q1 2026 and looking forward.   San Lucas is a margin-based ore sourcing and processing business that supports plant utilization, fixed-cost absorption and operating flexibility.   San Lucas now includes ore blended from the Reserva Mine, (previously part of the Caballo Blanco complex), and may be further enhanced in the future if a dedicated processing center is acquired.   Arturo points out that since this is a “margin business” it will always be profitable, but that it will naturally see higher costs in parallel with moves higher in silver prices, and thus the higher amount needed to be paid to the small regional miners that bring in their ore to sell to San Lucas. The Company has introduced an enhanced reporting framework which provides a more complete basis for investors to assess production, costs, margins and cash generation across all business units.   The operations team is advancing their silver-dominant Soracaya mine towards development and near-term production. There is already a decline ramp into this project with initial stope access in 2 areas, and the plan once the permit is received in Q3 is to get this mine into initial ramp-up production by Q4 of 2026.    Wrapping up we discussed the potential for future accretive acquisitions in the Americas.  The board and management team are open to a currently producing mine or development-stage underground mining assets, but only if the acquisition would be accretive for shareholders and if their team can unlock value in these acquired assets.   * To view the visual presentation on YouTube click below: https://youtu.be/SCKzJarK0TQ   If you have any follow up questions for Arturo regarding Santacruz Silver, then please email those to me Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Santacruz Silver at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Santacruz Silver   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Ep. 83 - Chief Daniel Comeaux, the 31st Chief of Police of the Dallas Police Department joins me to look back at his first year in the role – his initiatives, his accomplishments as well as his goals for the future. Chief came to the job with 35 years in law enforcement, six with Houston PD starting in 1991 where he spent much of his time in narcotics; and 28 with the DEA which he joined in 1997.As I say in the episode, I think Chief of Police is a tough job, no matter what department, no matter what city. And the first year in that position has to be the most demanding – fraught with scrutiny, challenges and potential pitfalls – especially when you come in as an outsider to the department and to the city and on top of that, when you're coming to it after 28 years on the Federal side.In this interview, you will hear just how well Chief Comeaux has navigated these waters. He has drawn on all of his experience to define his role, strengthen the department, reduce crime and successfully recruit. He has done it judiciously with keen insight, thoughtful decisions, and I would add, humor. We talk about what shaped him and his leadership style over the years. We discuss what drew him to law enforcement, and some memorable stories from patrol in Houston including the people he remembers and all those fights and foot chases. We cover his time with DEA and talk about the case he is most proud of; the challenges of working hundreds of miles of the Mexican border while in both Tucson and Houston; and his work navigating every drug epidemic over those 28 years, from crack to ecstasy, meth, opioids and now fentanyl.Thank you, Chief for a great interview and for taking the time.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. The landscape of these industries continues to evolve with significant scientific advancements, regulatory breakthroughs, and strategic maneuvers that are reshaping drug development and patient care. One of the noteworthy developments is the U.S. FDA's recent approval of Gilead Sciences' Hepcludex (bulevirtide) for hepatitis D. This approval marks a comeback for Gilead after previous setbacks due to manufacturing and delivery issues, highlighting the critical importance of addressing regulatory feedback. It's a testament to persistence in overcoming manufacturing challenges to ensure vital therapies reach those in need. This approval signifies a milestone as it's the first FDA-approved therapy targeting chronic hepatitis D virus infection—a niche condition with limited treatment options. Similarly, Pfizer's Braftovi (encorafenib) is expanding its global reach beyond U.S. borders with regulatory approvals in the EU and Canada for colorectal cancer treatment. This broadening geographic footprint reflects a broader industry trend where companies aim to maximize the therapeutic impact of oncology drugs across diverse patient populations. Meanwhile, Astellas Pharma is navigating the looming patent cliff for its prostate cancer drug Xtandi by actively pursuing new licensing deals and implementing cost-cutting measures. This dual approach underscores a widespread industry strategy where companies balance acquisitions with operational efficiency to sustain growth. In the radiopharmaceutical sector, there's notable activity with Lantheus Holdings possibly being acquired by Curium for $7 billion. This potential deal underscores growing interest in radiopharmaceuticals due to their precision in targeting specific cancer types. Complementing this is Niowave's $75 million investment in a radiopharmaceutical isotope plant in Michigan, set to produce actinium-225 by 2028—an isotope crucial for targeted cancer therapies. Regulatory landscapes are also in flux with continued reforms at the FDA despite leadership changes. Initiatives like the Commissioner's National Priority Voucher program illustrate regulatory bodies' commitment to streamlining drug approvals and fostering innovation. On an international note, SK Bioscience is partnering with Colombia to locally produce the chickenpox vaccine Skyvaricella, enhancing vaccine accessibility through technology transfer. Similarly, Eli Lilly's acquisition spree in infectious disease research signals a robust push toward expanding its R&D pipeline for viral and bacterial pathogens. Eli Lilly has announced plans to acquire Curevo, Limmatech Biologics, and another vaccine company for up to $3.8 billion. This strategic acquisition underscores a commitment to enhancing capabilities in infectious diseases—a field that has gained focus post-COVID-19 pandemic. By integrating these companies, Eli Lilly aims to leverage their platforms and expertise for advanced therapeutic solutions against infectious diseases. In gene editing, Eli Lilly is preparing for a Phase 2 trial of a lipid-lowering gene editor from Verve Therapeutics, showing promising cholesterol reductions akin to PCSK9 inhibitors. This highlights gene editing's potential in addressing cardiovascular diseases. A significant development from Lilly's pipeline includes promising results from their base editor technology acquired through Verve Therapeutics—an exciting breakthrough suggesting substantial potential for gene-editing technologies addressing genetic disorders like high cholesterol. In oncology, AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo's Datroway gained FDA approval for triple-negative breast cancer as a first-line treatment. This antibody-drug conjugate targets Trop2, demonstrating the potential of targeted therapy in difficult-to-treat cancers. Kura Oncology's combination therapy featuring darlifarnib and Krazati showed up to a 69% response rate in KRAS G12C-mutated solid tumors during Phase 1 trials, emphasizing precision medicine's potential in targeting specific genetic mutations driving cancer progression. In obesity management, Eli Lilly's retatrutide achieved Phase 3 success with bariatric surgery-like outcomes. The drug acts as a triple hormone receptor agonist, showcasing advancements in metabolic therapies targeting obesity—a condition linked with numerous comorbidities. Moderna's mFlusiva is poised for an FDA advisory committee review as an influenza preventative for older adults—an extension of Moderna's mRNA technology initially used against COVID-19. Collectively, these developments highlight an industry leveraging cutting-edge science and technology to tackle complex medical challenges. As pharmaceutical giants like Eli Lilly consolidate their positions through acquisitions and research collaborations, transformative advancements promise to reshape patient care across various therapeutic areas. These initiatives not only reflect the industry's dynamic nature but also its pivotal role in addressing unmet medical needs worldwide. Eli Lilly's recent strategic acquisitions underscore its commitment to advancing pharmaceutical innovations, particularly in vaccines and cholesterol management sectors. Acquiring three vaccine-focused biotech firms signifies substantial investment in expanding its vaccine portfolio—a move aligned with global immunization strategies. This follows hiring Peter Marks from the FDA, indicating a strategic focus on bolstering expertise within the vaccine domain. The company has been recognized by IDEA Pharma as a leader in pharmaceutical innovation—a testament to its robust pipeline and successful integration of scientific advancements into marketable therapies. Across oncology landscapes highlighted at ASCO conferences are exciting potentials like Summit Therapeutics and Akeso's potential Keytruda rivals that could reshape cancer treatment paradigms if proven effective. As pharmaceutical landscapes continue evolving rapidly through scientific strides tempered by regulatory hurdles—the current environment promises significant advancements offering new hope while demanding strategic agility within healthcare sectors globally.Support the show

Andrew Rowland, previously chair of Rugby Southland Referees joins me to talk about two initiatives they are running in the furthest south peninsula of New Zealand.Firstly their Referees of the Future Scholarship initiative - a new way of attracting young (and not so young....) people into refereeing. We look at what's behind it, what's the 'offer' and how it's going so far. There's some more info here on their 2026 scholarship awardees.And then Andrew and I talked about their Chaplaincy offer for their match officials in the province. We talk about what it is, what it's not, and how it's helped him and his fellow referees. If the word chaplaincy sends you down a certain thought route (as it did for me), then worth listening to what it actually is.For more about refereeing in Southland, head here.If you have any comments about this episode, or suggestions for future shows, then drop me a line at ref@rugbyreferee.net!You can follow us here:Twitter: RugbyRefereenetInstagram: RugbyRefereenetFacebook: Page: RugbyReferee.netFacebook Group: RugbyReferee.net CommunityOr you can connect with Keith personally on Twitter or LinkedIn

In this episode of the Campus Technology Insider podcast, Rhea Kelly, editor-in-chief of Campus Technology, speaks with Tirumala Rao Chimpiri, senior programmer analyst for enterprise applications & integrations at Stony Brook University, about CAIP-HE, a platform-agnostic reference framework for connecting insight, decision-making, and execution across enterprise environments. Chimpiri explains that organizations often invest in ERP, analytics, automation, integration, personalization, and AI, yet still struggle to turn insights into timely, coordinated action because these capabilities remain siloed and decision ownership and workflows are unclear. CAIP-HE focuses on four interdependent dimensions — cognitive automation, advanced analytics, integration and interoperability, and personalization — and is positioned as a leadership lens rather than a product or methodology. He recommends starting with a few high-impact scenarios, mapping the end-to-end flow from insight to execution, and addressing gaps through clearer governance, ownership, integration, and workflow design, noting that AI alone does not resolve decision flow or accountability. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:30 Tirumala Background and Motivation 02:23 What CAIP-HE Means 05:38 The Insight to Action Gap 07:06 How to Apply CAIP-HE 08:58 Why AI Alone Is Not Enough 10:44 Governance and Decision Rights 12:34 Common Modernization Mistakes 14:22 Key Takeaways for CIOs 15:54 Closing and Where to Listen Resource links: CAIP-HE framework Why ERP and AI Initiatives Stall at the Execution Layer: A CIO Perspective Music: Mixkit Duration: 17 minutes Transcript (coming soon)

Getting AI WrongArun Varadarajan, Chief Commercial Officer at Ascendion, reframed how I think about why so many AI initiatives are failing.“90% of projects fail because people don't spend enough time defining the problem.”Not because the technology failed or the team wasn't smart enough.It's because leaders started building BEFORE they got clear on what actually needed to change.So what looked like AI progress was really just motion without transformation.And once leaders DO identify the real problem, many still don't move boldly enough to create meaningful change.They get stuck in pilots.Experiments.Incremental improvements.But never challenge the “untouchable” systems and ways of working that have existed for years.And when that happens, the real transformational impact of AI never materializes.The organization just falls further behind while thinking it's making progress.Arun shares with us the leadership conviction and organizational courage to get AI right.Where do you think most organizations are still getting AI wrong?-----Connect with the Host, #1 bestselling author Ben FanningSpeaking and Training inquiresSubscribe to my Youtube channelLinkedInInstagramTwitter

Ignacio Packer's journey is not defined by titles or roles, but by a thread connecting people, places, and moments. From early experiences shaped by the Cold War to a pivotal decision to leave a career in finance for humanitarian work, Ignacio reflects on what it means to live with purpose and passion. A simple but powerful moment—his mother telling him to “free yourself”—set him on a path that would take him across the world, working in some of the most challenging contexts and ultimately leading him to a deeper question: how do we rebuild trust in a fragmented world? In this conversation, Ignacio shares how his thinking evolved from focusing on systems and policies to recognizing the essential role of relationships, inner transformation, and personal responsibility. Drawing from decades in humanitarian work and now leading Initiatives of Change, he explores the courage it takes to listen, to speak respectfully across divides, and to reconnect even when trust has been broken. This episode is a powerful reflection on leadership, humanity, and the quiet work required to heal relationships—within ourselves and with others.
