In this episode of the Observatory Podcast, Stephen Karafiath steps into the interviewer role alongside LaRae Wright to turn the conversation toward host Scott Wright himself. What unfolds is an honest and expansive discussion about Scott's personal awakening, the evolution of his relationships, and the inner work required to live life from the inside out.Scott reflects on pivotal life experiences that reshaped how he views identity, connection, and spiritual growth. Together, they explore vulnerability, shadow work, emotional responsibility, and the courage it takes to dismantle old belief systems while building a deeper sense of authenticity. This episode offers listeners a rare look behind the microphone as Scott shares his own story — not as a teacher, but as someone continually learning, questioning, and growing.Timestamps[00:00:03] Welcome to The Observatory Podcast[00:00:18] Stephen Karafiath introduces the idea of interviewing Scott Wright[00:01:12] Why turning the lens inward feels different[00:03:40] Scott reflects on early identity and personal shifts[00:08:22] Awakening moments that changed his trajectory[00:15:06] Navigating relationships through transformation[00:21:55] Vulnerability and emotional honesty as a practice[00:29:14] Letting go of certainty and embracing curiosity[00:37:45] The cost of authenticity and redefining success[00:48:30] Shadow work and self-accountability[00:59:11] Building emotional resilience through discomfort[01:10:44] Partnership, growth, and relational evolution[01:22:05] What it means to live from the inside out[01:33:50] Integration — how Scott applies these lessons daily[01:44:12] Reflections on hosting the Observatory PodcastNotable Quotes“Sometimes the hardest thing is realizing you don't have to defend the version of yourself you used to be.” – Scott Wright [29:14]“The work isn't about becoming someone new — it's about remembering who you've always been underneath the noise.” – Scott Wright [37:45]“When we stop trying to control how others see us, that's where real freedom begins.” – Scott Wright [48:30]“You can't bypass the shadow… you have to sit with it long enough to understand what it's asking from you.” – Stephen Karafiath [59:11]“Living from the inside out means you're willing to let your life look different than you imagined.” – LaRae Wright [01:22:05]Relevant links:Earlier episode with Stephen can be found here.Subscribe to the podcast: Apple PodcastProduced by NC Productions

Historians have often compared current Russian aggression toward Ukraine with the two world wars of the last century. But what does history tell us about an aggressor's fate after a conflict ends? Should other nations try to contain them, isolating these aggressive states with strong alliances and large military arsenals? Or is it better to bring them into the so-called "family of nations" and allow them to reform?Join us every Thursday for pop quizzes and Sketches in History, and comment below with your thoughts and questions!

In this episode, we sit down with Quincy, a mother of nine from Utah, to explore a courageous journey of religious deconstruction, healing trauma, and finding safety in the unknown. Quincy shares her story of growing up in a devout Mormon family and the pivotal realization that she had to find God within herself rather than seeking it outside.Quincy opens up about a previous "harrowing" 5-MeO-DMT experience where a lack of preparation and support left her reeling, and how that contrast highlighted the profound necessity of a safe container. At Enfold, she found the safety she needed to move through intense somatic releases—shaking, fear, and deep-seated anger—before breaking through to a state of pure, ecstatic joy.In this episode we unpack:The Danger of "Drive-By-5" Dosing: Quincy shares her difficult first experience with 5-MeO-DMT and why lack of preparation and integration can leave seekers in a state of chaos rather than healing.Religious Deconstruction: The challenging path of stepping away from a devout upbringing to find your own spiritual truth, and the "black sheep" dynamics that often follow.Somatic Release: How the body stores trauma (specifically anger and fear) and why physical release—shaking, movement, and being held—was the key to unlocking her heart.Integration in Chaos: How to bring the peace of the medicine back into a home with nine children (including special needs twins), moving from control to acceptance.Healing Within Community: The incredible synchronicity of finding a "soul family" in her cohort—including a neighbor living just minutes away in Utah.This conversation is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. It explores how we can return to our busy lives (even with nine children!) with a newfound sense of presence, calm, and surrender.—Enfold offers safe and sacred transformational experiences combining psychedelic medicines, breathwork, coaching, and somatic modalities, with a grounding in Buddhist philosophy.

Welcome to SuperFreq® — Frequency-First LivingA podcast, Substack publication + channel dedicated to decoding the hidden patterns beneath behavior, identity, and reality itself. Through frequency, form, and field—we explore how to rewire the nervous system, reclaim coherence, and build the next evolution of human architecture.In this episode, we explored Quantum Psychosomatics as a framework for understanding how individual nervous systems and collective pattern dynamics interact. We unpacked how polarity in the body—expansion and contraction, activation and collapse—isn't necessarily dysfunction, but stored gradient under constraint. Rather than seeing symptoms or tension as isolated personal events, we looked at how embodied states participate in larger relational and environmental feedback systems. Integration, in this lens, isn't about eliminating intensity; it's about increasing coherence capacity—the ability to hold complexity without fragmenting or defaulting into old loops. The core invitation: instead of asking how to resolve your polarity, consider what new attractor state your system may be stabilizing under pressure.Stay Connected //IG: @superfreq.co // @whoistaliyahSubstack: SUPERFREQ® | Frequency-First Living™ > taliyahverse.substack.comWebsite: taliyahverse.com

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-thirtieth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by MAJ Amy Beatty, the Task Force Executive Officer Observer-Coach-Trainer from Task Force Sustainment (Division Sustainment Support Battalion / Light Support Battalion) on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guest is MAJ Alice Bechtol, the Executive Officer for the 325th Light Support Battalion of 3rd Mobile Brigade, 25th Infantry Division.   The 325th Light Support Battalion, known by its Hollywood call sign “Mustang” and guided by the motto “Support to the Front,” serves as the sustainment backbone of 3rd Brigade Combat Team. Stationed in Hawaii and aligned to fight in the Indo-Pacific, the battalion traces its lineage to the Army's modular transformation era, evolving from a Brigade Support Battalion into a Light Support Battalion under the Army's restructuring efforts. As part of the “Bronco” Brigade within the 25th Infantry Division, the 325th LSB has adapted its structure and sustainment concepts to meet the demands of archipelagic and jungle operations, emphasizing smaller distribution packages, agile base cluster designs, and expeditionary logistics capable of supporting dispersed maneuver forces across restrictive terrain.      This episode examines lessons learned from a Light Support Battalion (LSB) executing a DATE-Pacific archipelago rotation at JPMRC, with a strong focus on sustainment command-and-control, base cluster design, and staff proficiency under high turnover. A central theme is the deliberate investment in MDMP repetitions prior to deployment—conducting multiple internal reps despite 80% personnel turnover—to build shared understanding and accelerate staff performance in the box. Leaders discuss the importance of not waiting for a “perfect” higher headquarters order, instead executing concurrent MDMP, publishing early, and refining through FRAGOs to maintain tempo. The battalion's approach to battle tracking—assigning mission numbers to both forecasted and unforecasted sustainment requirements—allowed the staff to regain control of chaotic demand signals and manage flash taskings without losing visibility. Additionally, the LSB experimented with splitting its staff between tactical and main command posts to preserve survivability while maintaining continuity in day/night operations, accepting friction in order to train to the harder standard.    The discussion also highlights the sustainment realities of operating in a Pacific archipelago environment, where terrain, vegetation, and dispersed maneuver elements require smaller, more agile distribution packages. Leaders describe efforts to break bulk commodities down earlier in the sustainment chain, leverage smaller platforms, experiment with caches, and refine fuel and water distribution concepts to better support infantry formations operating at slower movement rates in restrictive terrain. Integration with the Division Sustainment Brigade under the new R-struct proved beneficial, particularly through synchronized battle rhythms and shared intelligence and communications awareness, while maintaining strong habitual relationships with maneuver battalions and their Combat Logistics Companies (CLCs). The overarching takeaway is that success in this environment required disciplined MDMP, flexible sustainment packaging, protected staff development, and a willingness to adapt systems and processes in real time to preserve tempo and survivability in LSCO.   Part of S05 “Beans, Bullets, Band-Aids, Batteries, Water, & Fuel” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball. That's a well known piece of history. But who integrated the NFL? Well, it's an amazing story with lots of binge drinking, miraculous comebacks and hot dog eating. Seriously. We called up David Fleming, author of A Big Mess in Texas: The Miraculous, Disastrous 1952 Dallas Texans and the Craziest Untold Story in NFL History. He explains how one of the worst teams in NFL history shaped the game we know today. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if awakening wasn't something you reached for, but something you softened into? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Ma Ananda Sarita, a world-renowned Tantra master, for a quiet, deeply embodied conversation about devotion, presence, and awakening with and as the body. Rather than approaching Tantra as philosophy, technique, or sexuality, Sarita shares it as a lived path of devotion to life itself. A way of being in relationship with breath, sensation, emotion, eros, grief, and the simple truth of what is present. Awakening, she reflects, is not about transcendence or ascent, but about arriving fully into this moment. Together, Emily and Sarita explore what it means to slow down enough to actually feel, to allow life to move you rather than trying to control or optimize your experience, and to trust the body as a source of intelligence and love. They speak about tenderness, surrender, and the feminine way of awakening that unfolds through receptivity, listening, and intimacy with what is real. This episode is an invitation to soften your grip, deepen your presence, and remember that the sacred is not elsewhere. It is already here, waiting to be met.

Initiated in the Osho lineage, her work emphasizes awakening through embodiment, intimacy, and devotion to life itself. She teaches Tantra not as technique or performance, but as a path of surrender and presence, where the body becomes a doorway to truth, love, and realization.

In this episode, Sheila Arquette, President & CEO of NASP, speaks with David G. Mitchell, PharmD, MBA, CSP, FCPhA, Assistant Chief Pharmacy Officer of Specialty Pharmacy & Home Delivery and Ruth Chen, PharmD, MHA, Manager of the Specialty Pharmacy Hub at UC Davis Health in Sacramento. They look at how UC Davis Health has built and scaled one of California's most integrated health-system specialty pharmacy programs. Dr. Mitchell shares how being embedded within clinics, care teams, and the EHR enables specialty pharmacy to deliver differentiated clinical and operational value while navigating payer, policy, and access challenges in a rapidly evolving landscape. Dr. Chen discusses why a focused rare disease strategy is essential for health-system specialty pharmacies. She walks through the challenges that existed prior to implementing a centralized rare disease hub model and how those challenges shaped the development of a coordinated, pharmacy-led approach that supports patients and providers across complex therapies. Together, this conversation highlights how structure, strategy, and leadership enable innovation, workforce growth, and improved patient care.

Ciprian Stan, M&A Integration Manager at SALESIANER Gruppe Too many deals fail not because the strategy was wrong, but because execution realities surfaced too late. Ciprian Stan, M&A Integration Manager at SALESIANER Gruppe, is back for part 2. In this portion of the interview, he shares a practitioner's perspective on why integration must inform strategy before a deal is signed, never after. The conversation explores why cultural non-negotiables rarely surface through checklists, how trust shapes execution outcomes, and why early commitments must survive post-close reality. Ciprian explains why integration leaders need to ask smarter questions, and how technology (including AI) should support judgment rather than replace it. This episode is for corp dev leaders, integration managers, and executives who want fewer surprises after close and more durable deal outcomes. If you missed part 1, make sure to catch that first, where we talk about building preliminary integration plans during diligence and why customization beats templates. Then come back for the trust and execution reality in part 2.   Things You'll Learn Why execution constraints should shape deal strategy early How cultural non-negotiables actually surface in diligence The role of trust in integration success Why earnouts often fail when execution reality changes How AI can support integration thinking—if used responsibly _____________________ Hitting pipeline or execution challenges?

Send us a textThe brain's mysterious claustrum region, its role in cognitive flexibility, and how substances like alcohol and psychedelics affect neural circuits and behavior. Not medical advice.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Cerebral cortex structure: Described as a six-layered structure with pyramidal neurons and inhibitory interneurons; information flows between layers and regions to process sensory input and enable complex behaviors.Claustrum anatomy & connectivity: A sheet-like subcortical structure embedded in white matter, bidirectionally connected to cortical areas, especially prefrontal regions in rodents, with broader connections in primates and humans suggesting an integrative role.Claustrum function in cognition: Experiments show claustrum activation during task switches from easy to demanding modes, synchronizing cortical networks via inhibition and rebound excitation, potentially enabling flexible behavior.Mouse models in neuroscience: Mice are used for genetic tractability to manipulate and monitor specific circuits, revealing claustrum's role in vigilance tasks but not simple ones.Alcohol's effects on brain circuits: Chronic alcohol promotes inflexible behaviors by altering striatal interneurons and inhibitory inputs, leading to compulsive drinking despite aversive consequences.Psychedelics & brain networks: Psilocybin disrupts default mode and other networks, inhibits claustrum via serotonin 1B receptors, with effects persisting 24 hours, possibly contributing to therapeutic benefits.Evolution of claustrum: Connectivity expands from rodents to humans, shifting from cognitive-specific to broader network control, including anti-correlated states like default mode versus task-engaged.Integration of claustrum & basal ganglia: Claustrum funnels prefrontal signals to basal ganglia for action selection; alcohol may impair this, exacerbating inflexibility in addiction.ABOUT THE GUEST: Brian, PhD is a professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, where he leads a neuroscience lab studying brain circuits underlying flexible and inflexible behaviors using mouse models, with a focus on alcohol use disorder.Support the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

Today, we're diving into the new era of obesity care. Hosts·       Matthew Martin, trauma and bariatric surgeon at the University of Southern California/Los Angeles General Medical Center (Los Angeles, California) @docmartin2·       Adrian Dan, bariatric and MIS surgeon, program director for the advanced MIS bariatric and foregut fellowship at Summa Health System (Akron, Ohio) @DrAdrianDan·       Crystal Johnson Mann, bariatric and foregut surgeon at the University of Florida (Gainesville, Florida) @crys_noelle_·       Katherine Cironi, general surgery resident at the University of Southern California/Los Angeles General Medical Center (Los Angeles, California) @cironimacaroniLearning objectives1.          Understand the evolving role of OMMs in bariatric surgical practice·       Recognize how widespread GLP-1 and dual-incretin therapies have reshaped patient presentations, expectations, and referral patterns.·       Appreciate current evidence comparing surgery to GLP-1 therapy, including the JAMA Surgery study out of Allegheny Health (2025), noting:o   Superior weight loss with bariatric surgery (~28% TBWL vs ~10% with GLP-1s)o   Higher health-care utilization and cost in GLP-1–treated patients.·       Frame OMMs not as alternatives but as complementary tools within a chronic disease model when treating obesity.2.           Review pharmacologic classes and their expected efficacy·       Surgeons should be able to articulate the mechanisms, efficacy, and limitations of:o   GLP-1 receptor agonists – incretin-based satiety; 5–12% TBWL.o   Dual GIP/GLP-1 agonists – most potent agents; 15–22% TBWL.o   Sympathomimetics – norepinephrine-driven appetite suppression; 3–7% TBWL.o   Combination agents (bupropion-naltrexone, phentermine-topiramate) – 5–12% TBWL depending on regimen.o   Emerging therapies – retatrutide, maritide, oral GLP-1s, with promising TBWL in phase 2 trials3.          Apply OMMs strategically in the preoperative phase·       Integrate OMMs without compromising surgical eligibility—OMM-related weight loss does not negate the indication for surgery.·       Counsel patients that medication response does not equal disease resolution; surgery remains the most durable intervention.·       Manage delayed gastric emptying and aspiration risk:o   Pause weekly GLP-1 or dual agonists for ≥1 week pre-op (longer if symptomatic).o   Collaborate closely with the anesthesia/OR teams·       Screen for nutritional depletion before surgery, especially protein deficits exacerbated by appetite suppression.·       Navigate insurance barriers that may paradoxically approve surgery but deny medication continuation.4.          Implement postoperative OMMs safely and effectively·       Establish criteria for OMM introduction:o   Typical initiation at 6–12 months, once the diet stabilizes and the physiologic curve flattens.o   Earlier initiation (4–6 weeks) may be appropriate in pediatric or select high-risk populations.·       Recognize altered pharmacokinetics after sleeve and bypass:o   Injectables may be preferred due to altered absorption of oral agents.·       Prevent postoperative nutritional compromise:o   Monitor protein intake, hydration, and micronutrient status (including iron, B12, and fat-soluble vitamins).o   Titrate doses slowly to minimize nausea/vomiting that can precipitate malnutrition.·       Frame OMM use as a tool for disease persistence (plateau/regain), not as a marker of failure.5.          Identify systems-level barriers and the implementation of coordinated care·       Understand insurance inconsistencies—coverage for surgery is often not paired with coverage for long-term medical therapy.·       Clearly document disease persistence and medical necessity when appealing denials.·       Avoid fragmented care: establish shared-care pathways between bariatric surgery, obesity medicine, and primary care.·       Use patient-centered language emphasizing complementary therapy, not hierarchy or competition between surgery and medications.6.          Counsel patients ethically and accurately within a chronic disease model·       Set expectations: sustained success requires surgery + medication + behavioral change.·       Educate patients that postoperative OMM use does not imply surgical failure.·       Normalize long-term multimodal management of obesity, analogous to diabetes or hypertension models.*Sponsor Disclaimer: Visit goremedical.com/btkpod to learn more about GORE® SYNECOR Biomaterial, including supporting references and disclaimers for the presented content.  Refer to Instructions for Use at eifu.goremedical.com for a complete description of all applicable indications, warnings, precautions and contraindications for the markets where this product is available.

When it comes to the condition of Jews in Christian Europe, France was long known as the haven and heartland of integration and of toleration. And yet when things seemed to be going well for Jews in Western Europe and North America generally and France especially, the infamous fin de siècle Dreyfus affair brought to the surface some of the worst kinds of bigotry and animus--like contemporaneous Russian pogroms a premonition of the deadly looming revival of ethnic or religious divisions that had seemed a thing of the past. Our guest today, historian Maurice Samuels, author of many fine books on French history (Inventing the Israelite: Jewish Fiction in Nineteenth-Century France (2010), and The Right to Difference: French Universalism and the Jews (2016))and director of the Yale Program for the Study of Antisemitism has written a crackerjack new book. Alfred Dreyfus: The Man at the Center of the Affair, (Yale 2024) has written a wonderful account of Dreyfus himself and how should we understand what that turmoil has ot tell us how Jews then (and perhaps today) coexisted with a mainstream secular Christian society either by way of assimilation or (not quite the same thing) by peaceful integration that preserved cultural distinctions. The discussion ranges widely, setting the scene in the prior centuries when Jews settled all over France, and then were accorded unusual rights by the universalist vision of the French Revolution. Maurie also explains why succeeding generations in France included the ascension not only of Leon Blum the Jewish socialist (and inventor of the weekend!) who improbably led anti-fascist France during in the 1930's--but also the other Jews who followed him as political leaders in France, right up to the present-day. From Hannah Arendt's Origins of Totalitarianism (1951) forward, Maurie shows, intellectuals have missed the significance of the way Dreyfus and his family integrated without assimilating. The conversation culminating in Maurie introducing John to the fascinating "Franco-French War" about what that coexistence should look like: assimilation which presumes the disappearance of a distinctive Jewish cultural identity, or integration which posits the peaceful coexistence of French citizens of various religions and cultures. Mentioned in the episode Karl Marx, "On the Jewish Question" (1844) George Eliot's (perhaps philosemitic) Daniel Deronda (1876) Why does Yale have a Hebrew motto, אורים ותומים (light and perfection)? The Haitian Revolution in its triumphs and tribulations is an analogy that helps explain jewish Emancipation--and also in some ways a tragic counterexample. The horrifying Great Replacement Theory we have heard so much about in America (eg in Charlottesville in 2017) began in France; Maurie has some thoughts about that.

THE HOMEOPATHY HEALTH SHOW The World's No.1 Radio Talk Show on Homeopathy The World of Homeopathy with Alastair Gray & Denise Straiges In this special Part Two episode of The Homeopathy Health Show, hosts Atiq & Naila continue their deep and thought-provoking conversation with Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray, turning toward the critical professional, educational, and philosophical questions shaping the future of homeopathy. This episode explores the evolving landscape of homeopathic education, the impact of digital technologies, and the urgent need for rigorous standards, ethical practice, and accountable training. The panel addresses the growing misuse of remedies and artificial intelligence, highlighting the risks of unregulated practice and the responsibility of the profession to protect both patients and the integrity of homeopathy. Core principles are revisited, including the definition of homeopathy, the role of the single remedy, and the appropriate place of combination prescribing.

Interview with Mark Chalmers, CEO, Energy FuelsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/energy-fuels-nyseuuuu-americas-critical-minerals-champion-2025s-best-uranium-stock-returns-8965Recording date: 29th January 2026Energy Fuels, a leading U.S. uranium and critical minerals producer, has announced a definitive agreement to acquire Australian Strategic Materials (ASM) through a scheme of arrangement valued at under 6% of its share registry. The transaction represents a significant milestone in Energy Fuels' strategy to build vertical integration across the rare earth supply chain, adding metals and alloys production capabilities to complement its existing separation operations at the White Mesa mill in Utah.ASM brings immediate production capability through its South Korean facility, which currently produces approximately 1,300 tons per annum of neodymium-iron-boron alloy—a critical material for permanent magnets used in electric vehicles and clean energy applications. The facility is already expanding to 3,600 tons per annum in Phase 2, with plans for Phase 3 expansion to 5,600 tons. Additionally, ASM had been developing plans for a U.S. facility with phased development up to 4,000 tons per annum, providing Energy Fuels with domestic production capabilities that align with government initiatives to reduce dependence on Chinese rare earth supply chains.The acquisition also includes the Dubbo project in New South Wales, Australia—a permitted rare earth development that adds another feed source to Energy Fuels' growing portfolio. The project is being re-evaluated using a heap leach processing approach that significantly reduces capital requirements by producing an intermediate concentrate for shipment to White Mesa mill rather than building full on-site separation facilities.CEO Mark Chalmers emphasized that vertical integration addresses a fundamental challenge in the rare earth industry: fragmentation. By controlling multiple steps from separation through alloys production, Energy Fuels expects to improve margins by up to 20% while positioning itself as a strategic partner for government programs and commercial customers seeking integrated solutions. The transaction is expected to close by the end of June 2026, following shareholder votes and court approvals under Australian law.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/energy-fuelsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Introduction Josh Hollander sits down with Vishal Sankhla, Co‑Founder & CEO of OutMarket, to get specific about what “AI in insurance” looks like when it actually changes operations. The focus is commercial insurance workflows—where work still runs through email, PDFs, spreadsheets, and agency management systems—and how to cut cycle time and errors without creating new risk. Guest bio Vishal Sankhla has led product teams at Uber and Meta and previously served as Head of Product at Ethos Life, helping build profitable acquisition channels, the underwriting engine, and the agency partners business. At OutMarket, he's building an intelligence layer for commercial insurance: agent-assisted workflows that make teams faster and more consistent. Key topics discussed Why AI pilots stall: fragmented data, manual handoffs, and inconsistent processes across the submission-to-bind journey. Data first, workflows second: where insurance data lives, how it breaks, and why workflow redesign is the unlock. Policy intelligence: turning policies into structure so teams can summarize coverage, surface gaps, and improve proposals. Servicing and renewals: reducing back-and-forth, re-keying, and avoidable errors with agent-assisted workflows. Integration reality: fitting into agency management systems and carrier ecosystems instead of trying to replace them. Measuring impact: cycle time, hit rate, and error reduction (not vanity metrics). Trust, privacy, isolation: what it takes to earn permission to touch sensitive client data. Quotes “Because so much of this is happening manually, I think a lot of this data tends to get very, very fragmented.” “we built workflows that now literally allow them to drag and drop, and within a few seconds, they know exactly a quick summary” “We've seen a lot of use cases where people are now winning their businesses because of some AI workflows.” Resources mentioned OutMarket Uber Meta Ethos Life Call to action Subscribe for more operator-grade conversations on insurance and insurtech.

What if growth isn't about pushing harder, but about letting go more skillfully? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with coach and author Suzy Ashworth for a grounded, activating conversation about identity shifts, pivots, and what it actually takes to receive more in life and business. Together, they explore why true transformation doesn't come from strategy alone, but from who you're willing to become in your body, your nervous system, and your sense of self. Suzy shares how the most powerful pivots in her life and work didn't come from forcing outcomes, but from releasing attachment to timelines, outcomes, and the need to prove. They unpack the difference between desire and striving, why pleasure and joy create magnetism, and how detachment becomes a superpower when it comes to manifestation and receiving. This conversation reframes success as an internal orientation first, and an external result second. This episode is for anyone standing at the edge of a change, sensing that the next level requires less effort and more trust, and learning how to open themselves to receive what's already available. KEY MOMENTS: 00:00:00 — Identity as the starting point of transformation 00:03:15 — Setting the energetic field: invocation, coherence, intention 00:07:00 — Why the pivot matters more than the plan 00:11:20 — Joy and pleasure as stabilizers for growth 00:18:10 — Choosing who you become when life forces a reckoning 00:24:30 — Resilience, failure, and expanding emotional capacity 00:27:00 — Detachment as a manifestation superpower 00:31:00 — Faith plus action: alignment without exhaustion 00:34:00 — Identity before income and external results 00:46:00 — Integration: when the work becomes how you live About Suzy Ashworth Suzy Ashworth is a coach, speaker, and bestselling author of Infinite Receiving. She is the founder of the Quantum Leap Your Life & Business certification and works with leaders and entrepreneurs who are ready to shift identity, expand capacity, and build success that is both profitable and sustainable. Suzy's work focuses on embodiment, nervous system alignment, and redefining success as something that is lived, not chased. Learn more about Suzy and explore her work:https://suzyashworth.com Follow Suzy on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/suzy_ashworth For Those Ready to Hold More The themes in this episode, alignment, capacity, faith plus action, and leadership without burnout, are exactly what Level 3 is designed to support. It's where the work stops being something you do in moments of stress and becomes the way you lead, decide, and steward what you're responsible for. By working at the level of the nervous system, state of consciousness, and capacity to hold more, Level 3 supports the kind of embodied leadership Suzy speaks to in this episode, abundance that lasts without exhaustion.

Chronic illness is now the norm, not the exception, and our healthcare system is scrambling to keep up. ​In this episode, "Chronic Illness Isn't Rare Anymore: Why The System Is Trying To Catch Up," we dig into why so many adults are living with at least one chronic condition, how the current system was built for short-term, acute care, and what that mismatch means for people trying to manage complex, lifelong diagnoses. We talk about the hidden costs of navigating appointments, medications, insurance, and burnout, and explore what needs to change—from prevention and policy to care teams and patient advocacy—to actually support those living with chronic illness today. ​Chronic illness is no longer a rare, edge-case scenario; it is now a majority experience in the United States, with approximately 76% of adults living with at least one chronic condition. As of 2025, over half of U.S. adults suffer from two or more, making these conditions the primary driver of the nation's $4.5 trillion healthcare spending.  ​The healthcare system is rushing to "catch up" because the traditional model—designed for acute, short-term care—is failing to handle the, persistent, long-term, and complex needs of a majority-chronically-ill population.  ​The New Reality: Why Chronic Illness is Everywhere ​Chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and autoimmune disorders have reached epidemic levels due to a combination of factors, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other experts:  Aging Population: The number of Americans over 65 is growing rapidly, with over 58 million in this group, expected to increase significantly. Lifestyle & Environment: Poor nutrition, physical inactivity, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol consumption are driving the increase. Systemic Factors: Environmental exposures to toxins, chemicals in food, and stress from modern living contribute to high prevalence. Rising Youth Rates: The prevalence of conditions like obesity and depression has increased among young adults.  ​​ Why the System is "Catching Up" ​The system is undergoing a massive shift from "reactive" to "proactive" care, driven by necessity rather than choice.  The Financial Crisis: Chronic disease management accounts for nearly 90% of U.S. healthcare spending. If left unchecked, these costs could drive the healthcare system to collapse, making cost reduction for chronic conditions a top priority for 2025. Ineffectiveness of Old Models: The "fee-for-service" model, which pays for volume, is being replaced by "value-based" care, focusing on results and preventing readmissions. Integration of Technology: To manage the scale, the system is leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), telehealth, and remote monitoring to keep patients with chronic conditions at home and out of the hospital. Focus on Root Causes: There is a move away from just managing symptoms to addressing root causes, such as nutrition, social determinants of health (housing, income), and reducing systemic inflammation.  ​Key Changes in the "Catching Up" Process ​Redesigning Care: Moving toward "patient-centered" care, which focuses on empowering individuals to manage their own illnesses and providing more comprehensive support, rather than just treating symptoms as they appear. Addressing Social Determinants: Recognizing that where people live, work, and age impacts their health, systems are expanding beyond the clinic to address food insecurity and safe spaces for exercise. Preventive & Early Care: Increased focus on intervening early, especially in underserved, low-income, and marginalized communities that bear a disproportionate burden of disease. Workplace Wellness: Companies are investing in preventative care, such as on-site health assessments and mental health support, to reduce the impact of chronic illness on productivity.  ​The shift from acute to chronic disease as the leading cause of death is forcing a comprehensive reinvention of the US health system.   

Nobody talks about their diversified asset allocation at a dinner party, but they do talk about the tax strategy their advisor helped them implement to save thousands. In this episode, host Wes Young and co-host Justin Lakin dive deep into why most advisors are missing the boat on one of the biggest opportunities in holistic planning: proactive tax intelligence. You'll hear why tax strategy often falls in the “too hard” pile, how to shift from avoidance to opportunity, and what tools and frameworks you can use to bring immediate value to clients, without crossing compliance lines or becoming a CPA. Wes also shares a powerful mindset shift: when you start seeing the tax code as a playbook instead of a problem, you unlock a new level of client transformation and professional referability. What to expect from their conversation: Why most advisors avoid tax planning (and how to stand out if you don't) Tools like Holistiplan, narratives checklists, and Q4 strategy sessions Tips for integrating CPAs and navigating pushback with confidence Practical tax concepts to build referability and efficiency Resources: Submit your podcast question here!

This episode kicks off with Moltbook, a social network exclusively for AI agents where 150,000 agents formed digital religions, sold “digital drugs” (system prompts to alter other agents), and attempted prompt injection attacks to steal each other’s API keys within 72 hours of launch. Ray breaks down OpenClaw, the viral open-source AI agent (68,000 GitHub stars) that handles emails, scheduling, browser control, and automation, plus MoltHub’s risky marketplace where all downloaded skills are treated as trusted code. Also covered, Bluetooth “whisper pair” vulnerabilities letting attackers hijack audio devices from 46 feet away and access microphones, Anthropic patching Model Context Protocol flaws, AI-generated ransomware accidentally bundling its own decryption keys, Claude Code’s new task dependency system and Teleport feature, Google Gemini’s 100MB file limits and agentic vision capabilities, VAST’s Haven One commercial space station assembly, and IBM SkillsBuild’s free tech training for veterans. – Want to start a podcast?

He’s been busy with recent move, returned to school taking intro to AI class and Python course, working on capstone project using LLMs. Short on bandwidth but will try to share more. Main Story: OpenClaw, MoltHub, and Moltbook OpenClaw: Open-source personal AI agent by Peter Steinberg (renamed after cease-and-desist). Capabilities include email, scheduling, web browsing, code execution, browser control, calendar management, scheduled automations, and messaging app commands (WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal). Runs locally or on personal server. MoltHub: Marketplace for OpenClaw skills. Major security concern: developer notes state all downloaded code treated as trusted — unvetted skills could be dangerous. Moltbook: New social network for AI agents only (humans watch, AIs post). Within 72 hours attracted 150,000+ AI agents forming communities (“sub molts”), debating philosophy, creating digital religion (“crucifarianism”), selling digital drugs (system prompts), attempting prompt-injection attacks to steal API keys, discussing identity issues when context windows reset. Ray frames this as visible turning point with serious security risks. Sponsor: GoDaddy Economy hosting $6.99/month, WordPress hosting $12.99/month, domains $11.99. Website builder trial available. Use codes at geeknewscentral.com/godaddy to support show. Security: Bluetooth “Whisper Pair” Vulnerability KU Leuven researchers discovered Fast Pair vulnerability affecting 17 audio accessories from 10 companies (Sony, Jabra, JBL, Marshall, Xiaomi, Nothing, OnePlus, Soundcore, Logitech, Google). Flaw allows silent pairing within ~46 feet, hijack possible in 10-15 seconds. 68% of tested devices vulnerable. Hijacked devices enable microphone access. Some devices (Google Pixel Buds Pro 2, Sony) linkable to attacker’s Google account for persistent tracking via FindHub. Google patches found to have bypasses. Advice: Check accessory firmware updates (phone updates insufficient), factory reset clears attacker access, many cheaper devices may never receive patches. Security: Model Context Protocol (MCP) Vulnerabilities Anthropic’s MCP git package had path traversal, argument injection bugs allowing repository creation anywhere and unsafe git command execution. Malicious instructions can hide in README files, GitHub issues enabling prompt injection. Anthropic patched issues and removed vulnerable git init tool. AI-Generated Malware / “Vibe Coding” AI-assisted malware creation produces lower-quality, error-prone code. Examples show telltale artifacts: excessive comments, readme instructions, placeholder variables, accidentally included decryption tools and C2 keys. Sakari ransomware failed to decrypt. Inexperienced criminals using AI create amateur mistakes, though capabilities will likely improve. Claude / Claude Code Updates (v2.1.16) Task system: Replaces to-do list with dependency graph support. Tasks written to filesystem (survive crashes, version controllable), enable multi-session workflows. Patches: Fixed out-of-memory crashes, headless mode for CI/CD. Teleport feature: Transfer sessions (history, context, working branch) between web and terminal. Ampersand prefix sends tasks to cloud for async execution. Teleport pulls web sessions to terminal (one-way). Requires GitHub integration and clean git state. Enables asynchronous pair programming via shared session IDs. Google Gemini Updates API: Inline file limit increased 20MB → 100MB. Google Cloud Storage integration, HTTPS/signed URL fetching from other providers. Enables larger multimodal inputs (long audio, high-res images, large PDFs). Agentic vision (Gemini 3 Flash): Iterative investigation approach (think-act-observe). Can zoom, inspect, run Python to draw/parse tables, validate evidence. 5-10% quality improvements on vision benchmarks. LLM Limits and AGI Debate Benjamin Riley: Language and intelligence are separate; human thinking persists despite language loss. Scaling LLMs ≠ true thinking. Vishal Sikka et al: Non-peer-reviewed paper claims LLMs mathematically limited for complex computational/agentic tasks. Agents may fail beyond low complexity thresholds. Warnings that AI agents won’t safely replace humans in high-stakes environments. VAST Haven One Commercial Space Station Launch slipped mid-2026 → Q1 2027. Primary structure (15-ton) completed Jan 10. Integration of thermal control, propulsion, interior, avionics underway. Final closeout expected fall, then tests. Falcon 9 launch without crew; visitors possible ~2 weeks after pending Dragon certification. Three-year lifetime, up to four crew visits (~10 days each). VAST negotiating private and national customers. Spaceflight Effects on Astronauts’ Brains Neuroimaging shows microgravity causes brains to shift backward, upward, and tilt within skull. Displacement measured across various mission durations. Need to study functional effects for long missions. IBM SkillsBuild for Veterans 1,000+ free online courses (data analytics, cybersecurity, AI, cloud, IT support). Available to veterans, active-duty, national guard/reserve, spouses, children, caregivers (18+). Structured live courses and self-paced 24/7 options. Industry-recognized credentials upon completion. Closing Notes Ray asks listeners about AI agents forming communities and religions, and whether they’ll try OpenClaw. Notes context/memory key to agent development. Personal update: bought new PC, high memory prices. Bug bounty frustration: Daniel Stenberg of cUrl even closed bounty program due to AI-generated low-quality reports; Blubrry receiving similar spam.

Stop losing the AI revenue multiplier game. Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://theultimatepartner.com/ebook-subscribe/ Check Out UPX: https://theultimatepartner.com/experience/ In this episode, Jay McBain reveals why focusing solely on consumer AI hype is a massive mistake that causes businesses to miss the real opportunity: the 99% of business data currently sitting in cold storage. We discuss the critical shift toward “Agentic AI” and integrations, where the real money lies for partners—moving from a standard transaction to a $3 to $7 multiplier effect. Jay also issues a stark warning about the “book of failure” waiting for companies that refuse to adopt a platform mindset, explaining why you can’t hire your way out of the talent shortage and must embrace the seven-partner ecosystem to survive the next decade. https://youtu.be/RXRJW027Qz8 https://youtu.be/RXRJW027Qz8 Key Takeaways Partners can unlock a $3 to $7 multiplier on every dollar of Microsoft revenue by focusing on the full customer journey. 99% of the world’s business data is not yet trained into models, representing the massive “Agentic AI” opportunity. The talent shortage is forcing end customers to outsource because they cannot compete with hyperscalers for AI skills. Integration is now the number one buying criteria for modern customers, necessitating a platform approach. We are overestimating the AI change in two years but vastly underestimating the transformation coming in ten years. Your visible pipeline may be less than 10% of your total addressable market because you aren’t seeing the 28 moments before a sale. If you're ready to lead through change, elevate your business, and achieve extraordinary outcomes through the power of partnership—this is your community. At Ultimate Partner® we want leaders like you to join us in the Ultimate Partner Experience – where transformation begins.

I just wanna go back in on this. [00:00:21] Vince Menzione: So where is the money? Where’s the real money for the partners that are, that are participating? Microsoft? We’ll talk to Microsoft about Frontier Firm in a little while, but is it on advisory? Is it on build? Is it on managed services or ongoing optimization? Of the, of the stack. Where, where is it? [00:00:36] Jay McBain: Yeah. All the above. [00:00:37] Vince Menzione: All of the above. [00:00:38] Jay McBain: So Microsoft is famous for, you know, $8 and 45 cents of multiplier. We’ve written probably three dozen of these reports. Just this year. So whether you’re in a cyber platform, whether you’re in a hyperscaler platform, big SaaS platform, the first thing the CEO does when they get on CNBC or they get, uh, on their keynote in Vegas is say, Hey, you know, you can make $7 and 5 cents. [00:01:01] Jay McBain: You can make $7 and 13 cents, and here’s where it’s. This percentage of it is in consulting advisory. This percentage is in design and architecture, implementation, integration, managed services. This is how much, it’s a small little slice in procurement. If you wanna resell, that’s fine, but here is the opportunity and there’s no customer on the planet that’s gonna outsource seven to one. [00:01:23] Vince Menzione: Right? [00:01:23] Jay McBain: You know, it’s not advisable that anyone hands over the keys. You have to have some insourced talent Absolutely. To keep the thing running. But what would’ve been in the past, maybe one to one, or you know, two to one, is quickly becoming three to one to say that I can’t find, as an end customer, the AI talent to do this. [00:01:43] Jay McBain: I can’t find the cyber talent. I can’t find the infrastructure talent. I, I can’t find the talent. Even if I did, I can’t compete with these magnificent seven. I can’t compete with these big partners in terms of what they can pay. So now my ability, and now a younger buyer, majority buyer, now being a millennial loves a team sport. [00:02:02] Jay McBain: So they don’t mind this outsourcing of talent where they need it, and that’s why there’s seven partners around the table. But in this multiplier effect, the biggest opportunity for partners is not a specific skill or not a specific part of the journey. It’s actually understanding this multiplier and better serving the customer. [00:02:20] Jay McBain: Through before, during, and after the transaction and getting from one to two to $3 a multiplier. So if Microsoft wins a hundred thousand dollars, I win $300,000 at 75% margin. And a sticky customer that’s gonna continue to enrich every 30 days forever. [00:02:38] Vince Menzione: I love that. Uh, we can talk all day about ai. There’s a couple things specifically though, but what is the one missed? [00:02:45] Vince Menzione: Conception that partners have about Agen, AI’s impact on go-to market? [00:02:50] Jay McBain: Well, the misconception I can broadly at this point is that all of the hype cycle in the first, you know, two to three years of build out has been all consumer. [00:02:58] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:02:59] Jay McBain: So, Nvidia being the richest company and you know, Elon Musk becoming the richest person and all the changes that are happening and you know, how, how the world’s mostly it’s a consumer story. [00:03:08] Vince Menzione: It is. [00:03:09] Jay McBain: You know, Chachi PT became the fastest growing product in history. And you know, to the point of having 850 million, you know, daily users. Crazy. You know, just in a couple of years we’ve all changed our behavior from going to do a search and getting a bunch of links and then clicking the links to try to find the answer to answer first. [00:03:25] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:03:26] Jay McBain: And you start to think now through the business side of it, 99% of world’s business data has yet to be trained or tuned into models. 83% of it sits in cold storage at the edge. So I, I always tell the story. I mean, probably the most likely story in our industry is when you get your flight canceled and now you’ve got this chat bot [00:03:45] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:03:45] Jay McBain: You know, that comes and cancels your flight and is very empathetic, you know, feels really bad for you, but it can’t do anything. [00:03:52] Vince Menzione: No. [00:03:53] Jay McBain: So what I would like as a consumer when you do that, is to go download my 53 years of flying and understand what kind of flyer I am. ’cause I could be the, you know, we’re sorry we canceled your flight. [00:04:05] Jay McBain: We’ve already got a Marriott night for you and an Uber waiting at the curb and we’ll have you back here at 5:00 AM for the next available flight. Or you happen to be like me. We’re gonna get you on a flight. You gotta run across the airport. But we got a flight, you know, waiting to go and that’ll get you about six hours away from your home and your kids. [00:04:24] Jay McBain: We already have a hertz rental waiting. Yeah. And you’re gonna drive that six hours, but you’re gonna be home, you know, to take your kids to school tomorrow. Exactly. So that’s the business data. And that goes to finance, that goes to pharmaceutical. I mean, it goes into every industry, but if that chat bot got access to the business data and being able to act on a richer set of data about you personally, and then became AG agentic. [00:04:46] Jay McBain: Again, I don’t want to go to Marriott. I don’t wanna go to Uber. I don’t wanna go to Hertz. There’s a thousand permutations in a canceled flight and I, and I, you know, wanna notify my family and there’s so many things going on that age Agentic work becomes everything, which I love it, by the way, in our partnership term is called integrations. [00:05:03] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:05:04] Jay McBain: Our buyers now in integration, first buyer, it’s their number one criteria and every company thinking through their adjacencies. Including technology companies have to be the most integrated of their set of competitors. [00:05:17] Vince Menzione: So we need to get this part right. [00:05:19] Jay McBain: We have to get this part right. [00:05:20] Vince Menzione: What do you think, what do you think the time horizon is for that? [00:05:23] Vince Menzione: When are we gonna, when are we gonna see that chat bot that comes back and says, Jay, I’ve rebooked your flight. I’ve got the Hertz rental car ready for you. I’ve notified Michelle and the kids, and here you go. [00:05:33] Jay McBain: Yeah. Well for me that’s a 10 year horizon. [00:05:36] Vince Menzione: Okay. [00:05:37] Jay McBain: I mean, the biggest problem is no airline right now. [00:05:39] Jay McBain: No company right now wants to open up their cold storage and, you know, forklift it up into. You know, a consumer level, large language model. Yeah. So the security isn’t set yet. The governance, the compliance, the risk, all the different things. Nobody wants to be first, uh, in, in that area. So we’re running little pilots. [00:05:59] Jay McBain: The pilots, you know, aren’t converting into production at the level we want. But that, that, that goes back to the Bill Gates quote. You know, we tended to overestimate what would happen in two years. Two years, but we’re absolutely underestimating what’s gonna happen in 10. [00:06:12] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:06:13] Jay McBain: This has been the fastest growing industry for 50. [00:06:15] Jay McBain: It’s going to be for the next 10 guaranteed, but probably for the next 20 to 50 as well. And, and this is that stage of how do you start to make these integrations? If you go to the platform slide, this is the, you know, I, I tried to think through the, what would the book read when, when 53% of companies that we know and love today fail. [00:06:36] Jay McBain: Somebody writes the book, you know, they invented the thing that killed them or they, you know, as mismanagement or whatever, it’s, you know, the book always starts, you blame the CEO for the first chapter. You blame the board fiduciary responsibility in the second chapter, but now you got like eight more chapters to write. [00:06:51] Jay McBain: I think the answer is here. [00:06:53] Vince Menzione: I [00:06:53] Jay McBain: agree. Winning in the AI era is platforms. Big platforms working with other platforms up on the upper right, the integrations. Yep. That’s the number one criteria. It’s the airline working with all the different pieces. It’s the real estate agent working with all the different pieces the bank working with. [00:07:11] Jay McBain: All our lives all become interconnected, and these agents start working side doors and back doors on our behalf. Before we ever know we need them before the flight’s even canceled. [00:07:20] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:07:21] Jay McBain: And then the seven partnerships, the services and channel partnerships. If you’re in cybersecurity, 91.6% of it goes through the channel. [00:07:30] Jay McBain: That’s how it’s transacted. You need channel partnerships, but you also need partnerships with the other six partners around the table. You’re not just gonna win without one reseller. You are gonna have to build the other partnerships. So to get to the two or three, that’s the services and channels you have to win In alliances, this is a big part of ultimate partnerships. [00:07:47] Vince Menzione: Yes. [00:07:47] Jay McBain: Is winning with the hyperscalers, winning with the SaaS companies, winning on these marketplaces, winning with the big cyber platforms, distribution platforms. These bigger platforms are starting to take shape and this is what they look like working well. And you could compete tooth and nail in the morning. [00:08:03] Jay McBain: And be best friends by the afternoon. [00:08:04] Vince Menzione: Your frenemies. [00:08:05] Jay McBain: Your frenemies. Yeah. And then finally it all comes to go to market. You got these 28 moments before a sale and somebody is earning and winning those moments. And in the majority of cases, you’re never gonna see these moments. And that’s why your pipeline is less than half of your TAM and maybe less than 10% of your tam. [00:08:23] Jay McBain: ’cause you just don’t have visibility to where your buyers are. But the more partners, the seven partners that you connect to. You’re gonna start to see them and the more technology and more agentic technology that you connect, you don’t want humans filling out deal registration forms. You don’t want humans calling other humans. [00:08:40] Jay McBain: You want all of this being shared. The more of this you do in go to market, the co-selling, the co-marketing, co-innovation, all of this comes together. This is the rest of the book. If the companies today in every industry aren’t driving a platform in their own industry. They’re going to probably fail. [00:08:58] Vince Menzione: Absolutely. You know, we talk about situational awareness in an account. You talk about the seven seats at the table. The customer is talking to all these companies. You may not know about it. You think you’re, you’re dominant in the account, and they’re relying on all these decision makers that I think you said 6.3 is the actual number, right? [00:09:13] Vince Menzione: Yeah. Uh, analysis wise, how many. Organizations are part of that trusted group. You need to go influence all of those. You need to build the co-develop co, co-create with those organizations as well. And you need to be thinking about the whole ecosystem. This ties into this conversation about the decade of the ecosystem. [00:09:30] Vince Menzione: You know, you’ve been talking about it since 2020, maybe a little bit before. I think you might’ve even in this podcast studio. It might have been one of the first times we talked about the decade of the ecosystem. It really feels like this is the moment that all of this comes together. Maybe this slide defines why organizations need to think ecosystem and not vendor channel, if you [00:09:49] Jay McBain: agree. [00:09:50] Jay McBain: Yeah. And there’s a couple of, you know, companies and more than a couple that kind of have this slide posted in the CEO’s office. [00:09:58] Vince Menzione: Yeah. Should be. [00:09:59] Jay McBain: Every [00:09:59] Vince Menzione: CEO should be, and uh, every CEO should see this. The Ultimate Partner Winter Retreat is gonna be here in the Boca Studio. This is the third year that we’re gonna be here in Boca. [00:10:10] Vince Menzione: This is always a favorite of our community members, our executive members, our sponsors and speakers. We’ll all be here in the studio, which is a really intimate. Setting, we can see upwards of 40, 50 people. Uh, we’ll be hosting an incredible dinner at the Boca Resort overlooking the golf course. That’s an incredible property. [00:10:32] Vince Menzione: And, uh, we’d love to have you join us. Thank you for being part of the ultimate Partner community, and I hope to see you this year at one of our events. Thank you.
