The shouting starts, voices overlapping, and I freeze. I stay quiet hoping not to be noticed. Now, I'm having to unlearn that… A thousand tiny steps, right? It's easier to not say anything, to justify the abuse, to defend those that have hurt me, but repeating traumatic situations because it's familiar in my life can't continue forever. This is how I'm taking small steps towards healing.  Key Takeaways:    [0:00] Giving $13,000 in scholarships  [2:25] Cleaning out dance clothes  [3:41] People want to be seen and heard  [5:33] In conflict, I freeze up and become quiet [7:58] Why do I defend those who have hurt me by hiding?

The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – The Mangioni case exposes a troubling cultural shift as some people excuse murder through anger at powerful industries. Public frustration with insurance companies is real, but violence destroys justice, weakens the rule of law, and erases human dignity. Reform must come through accountability, lawful action, and moral restraint, not vengeance...

"I've been making excuses for people my entire career. And I didn't even know it." I was sitting with a client this morning and I had this moment, this awareness, that I just had to share with you. I've spent 30-something years in this work. Justifying. Excusing. Rationalizing. I even had a name for it. I called it "innocent ignorance." Like the people I was trying to help just didn't know better. And if they knew, they'd do better. So I kept explaining. Kept carrying it. Kept trying to get them there. And then I looked at the word "ignorant." The moment I saw that, something in me just released. If you are a coach, healer, bodyworker, or anyone in the helping arts, this episode is going to hit close to home. Tune in and let me know what comes up for you.

Upgrading your ecommerce platform can be daunting, especially with the risk of disrupting sales. Experts James Gurd and Paul Rogers share strategies to modernise confidently without adversely impacting revenue.The podcast is based on a combined 40 years' replatforming experience. Discussion points include:Managing Technical DebtTechnical debt, like inefficient code and clunky integrations, can hinder platform upgrades. Addressing this debt is crucial for a smooth transition. We discuss conducting thorough audits, prioritising cleaning up bloated themes and implementing continuous code reviews to prevent new debt.Handling SEO risksSEO traffic drops are a major concern during platform changes but there's a clear process to follow to minimise risk: for example, benchmark current rankings, plan URL changes carefully and use 301 redirects. Post-migration, monitor organic traffic and keyword rankings closely to recover quickly.Building a business case for changeDespite economic pressures, replatforming can be justified through cost savings, efficiency gains and potential revenue uplift. Calculate reduced support costs, forecast growth conservatively and highlight support cost reductions to build a strong business case.Using prototyping to validate planned changesRapid prototyping allows you to test and refine concepts on your existing stack before full implementation, reducing costly rework. Focus on high-impact areas like checkout and navigation, and use low-code platforms to simulate user journeys.Modernising your ecommerce platform doesn't have to mean risking revenue. By addressing technical debt, safeguarding SEO, building solid business cases and using rapid prototyping, you can stay competitive without disrupting sales. Incremental improvements guided by expert advice are the safest route to a resilient, revenue-driving platform.Chapters:[00:30] - Introduction: Modernisation challenges and risk mitigation[02:00] - Approaches to reducing technical debt: legacy code, documentation and third-party integrations[05:00] - Common issues with front-end themes and how bloated themes impact performance[08:10] - Replatforming considerations: scope, costs and agency support[11:00] - Ensuring performance and accessibility standards in theme builds[13:00] - Practical steps for enhancing front-end performance without replatforming[17:40] - Justifying replatform ROI amid economic pressures[22:50] - Cost-effective opportunities in migration projects: feature scope and trade-offs[28:15] - Solution MVPs and phased launches for risk management[32:50] - Using existing site data for testing and benchmarking pre-launch changes[34:55] - Strategies to avoid SEO traffic drops during migration[40:20] - Increasing team agility through prototype-driven development and low-code solutions

In this episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge the mindset that turns “good enough” into an excuse for low standards. Average effort can sound strategic when it is really feedback avoidance, weak tracking, and comfort dressed up as self-awareness.They break down why discipline, accountability, and honest measurement matter in fitness, finances, habits, and long-term growth. This episode is not about perfection. It is about noticing where your standards have slipped and refusing to build an identity around excuses. Press play before “good enough” starts making decisions for you._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

The shares are gainingCoinbase cuts headcount by 14% citing AI acceleration WHO DO YOU BLAME?Cofounder/CEO/Chair Brian Armstrong: 49.6% voting power MMIn 2020, amidst global protests for racial justice, Armstrong issued a blog post that effectively banned employees from discussing social issues or activism at work: "We don't advocate for any particular causes or candidates internally that are unrelated to our mission, because it is a distraction from our mission... we won't engage in broader societal issues."Brian is a proponent of "Freedom Cities"—privatized zones built on federal land that would be exempt from the laws that govern the rest of the countryMeta Platforms director Marc Andreessen:Impeding the development of AI in any way, he argues, “is a form of murder."Our enemies are 'social responsibility', 'stakeholder capitalism', 'Precautionary Principle', 'sustainable development goals', 'social justice', and 'environmental, social, and governance (ESG)'... These are all ideas that would lead to a stagnant, decadent, and ultimately dead society."The dual class share structure:The holders of our Class B common stock are entitled to twenty votes per share, and holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share.Jeffrey Billings, the independent trustee for certain trusts established by Brian Armstrong (representing 18.9% voting power)Co-founder/director Frederick “Fred” Ernest Ehrsam III (10.6% voting power)co-founder and general partner of the crypto-focused venture capital firm Paradigmco-founder and CEO of Nudge, a neurotechnology startup developing non-invasive brain–computer interfacesDuke UniversityWhile Fred is often seen as the quiet intellectual counterpart to Marc Andreessen, his philosophy is arguably even more dystopian to critics because it moves beyond just software—aiming to program human governance and the human brain itself.Fred is the Quiet Architect of a future where human systems are replaced by cold code.Fred is a major backer of the Prometheus Summit, a secretive gathering of tech elites focused on "longevity" and "assisted reproductive technologies."In 2026, Fred was appointed to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) by President Donald TrumpThe 2 women on the board, seems very DEI-ishThe shares are gaining WHO DO YOU BLAME?InvestorsUp 15$ in 2 days: $655M for brianDiary of a CEO founder says he hired someone with ‘zero' work experience because she ‘thanked the security guard by name' before the interview WHO DO YOU BLAME?The so-called “meritocracy” MM“I hired someone who's CV was two lines. Their experience was zero”Elon Musk's SpaceX Could Be Fast-Tracked Into S&P 500 After IPO Under Proposed Rule Changes AND Elon Musk settles SEC lawsuit over Twitter purchase and agrees to pay $1.5m fineA trust in Musk's name will pay a $1.5m civil penalty, without admitting wrongdoing. Musk won't have to give up any money he allegedly saved from the delay. In its January 2025 lawsuit, the SEC said Musk's 11-day delay in revealing his initial 5% Twitter stake in late March and early April 2022 let him buy more than $500min shares at artificially low prices, before he finally revealed a 9.2% stake. WHO DO YOU BLAME?The SEC CommissionersJan 2025Chair Gary Gensler (D) Commissioner Hester Peirce (R)Commissioner Mark Uyeda (R)Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw (D)Commissioner Jaime Lizárraga (D)Today MMChair Paul Atkins (R)Commissioner Hester Peirce (R)Commissioner Mark Uyeda (R)VacantVacantSpecifically Paul AtkinsDuring his first stint as an SEC Commissioner (George W. Bush), Paul was famous for his dissent against large corporate penaltiesHe argued that fining a company for the "sins" of its executives just hurts the innocent shareholders a second timeRecently in the same Administration with Musk (DOGE)Generally believes the SEC overregulates; Musk has referred to the SEC as “bastards”Commissioner Hester PeirceThe perennial dissenter (pre-Trump 2.0): Whenever the SEC would sue a crypto firm or fine a high-profile CEO, Peirce would release a blistering public letter explaining why the SEC was wrong, overreaching, and "paternalistic."Hester is the primary author of the Token Safe Harbor proposal, which essentially argues that tech companies should be allowed to operate for three years without any SEC oversight to "find their footing."Hester has long argued that the SEC's disclosure requirements are "bloated" and "immaterial." In her view, Musk's failure to file a 13D form for his Twitter stake wasn't a crime—it was a failure to comply with a "clunky, outdated bureaucracy.""In our purportedly enlightened era, we pin scarlet letters on allegedly offending corporations without bothering much about facts and circumstances... After all, naming and shaming corporate villains is fun, trendy, and profitable."The S&P 500, managed by S&P Global Dow Jones Indices, on Thursday, announced it was beginning consultation on rule changes that could potentially help Elon Musk-led SpaceX gain an expedited entry into the index. The rule changes include letting IPOs enter the index six months after their debut on an eligible index instead of a 12-month period, according to current rules.The index also proposed eliminating a minimum Investable Weight Factor (IWF) of 0.10 for megacap companies. The IWF is a methodology used to calculate the number of shares of a company available to trade on the market.Notably, the proposed rule changes also eliminate profitability requirements for megacap companies. Current rules require a company to be profitable on a GAAP basis for 12 months to be considered for the index, but that rule could be eliminated.S&P DJI only accepts feedback during the announced consultation open period, which is generally one calendar month following the consultation announcement. The Index Committee considers the complexity of the change and the desirable implementation timing in determining the open window for the consultation, which is generally aligned, if possible, with the index rebalancing schedule. WHO DO YOU BLAME?S&P Global CEO Martina L. Cheung (31% no on pay last year) DEI? That's all I haveS&P Global Chair Ian Livingston (Lord Livingston of Parkhead)Lord Livingston is also involved in a number of charities particularly in the fields of education, equality and social careLords are weird? That's all I haveThe Index CommitteeThe S&P 500 Index Committee is one of the most powerful and secretive groups in global finance. To prevent insider trading and front-running (where traders buy a stock because they know it's about to be added to the index), S&P Dow Jones Indices (S&P DJI) keeps the names of the individual committee members confidential.“To mitigate even the appearance of a conflict of interest... all Index Committee meetings are confidential. Membership of the Index Committee is not disclosed, and voting members consist of senior S&P DJI staff who have no commercial responsibilities”The Committee Members: Usually consists of about five to nine full-time employees of S&P Dow Jones Indices. Veto Power: Unlike other indices that use a rigid formula, this committee has discretionary authority. They can choose to ignore certain rules (like profitability) if they believe a company is representative of the U.S. economy.Who is probably partly on the Committee:Catherine Clay (CEO, S&P Dow Jones Indices): As the top executive, she oversees all index divisions. She joined in late 2025 with a mandate to modernize the indices for the digital and private-to-public era.Fiona Boal (Global Head of Equities): She oversees the entire equity index suite. Any proposal to change the "seasoning" or profitability rules for the S&P 500 goes through her office.Michael Orzano (Head of Exchange Products): He is the primary strategist for how major listings (like a $1.75T SpaceX IPO) integrate with the exchange-traded product (ETF) ecosystem.He was the lead strategist during the 2020 Tesla Inclusion, which was the most chaotic event in S&P historyHamish Preston (Head of U.S. Equities): He is the primary spokesperson for S&P 500 methodology. If the "SpaceX Rule" is adopted in June 2026, he will be the one explaining the technical justification to the media.Louis Bellucci (Head of Index Committee Management): As of 2026, he is the specific individual tasked with managing the various index committees and ensuring they follow the updated governance protocolsThe general concept of greed MMMM'Tone Deaf' Starbucks CEO Slammed for Justifying $10 Coffee as 'Affordable Premium Experience' - Niccol is so close to the human experience, he thought it was obviously “affordable” premium to pay $10 for a single cup of coffee.

Live from the Chase Center in San Francisco, Peter gathers four leading venture investors to discuss the shifting landscape of private markets. This special episode features Salil Deshpande (Uncorrelated Ventures), Amit Patel (Owl Ventures), Vignesh Ravikumar (Sierra Ventures), and Corey Goodman, PhD (venBio Partners).The episode covers why gross margins have become the most critical metric for AI model companies and how the rise of secondary markets is challenging the traditional ten-year fund structure. They explore the new "efficiency benchmarks" for startups, where founders are expected to reach milestones faster with significantly less capital and headcount.We also dig into the reality of AI in biotech, the "Nvidia problem" regarding value capture, and why massive fund sizes often lead to a regression to the mean. Plus, the guests share the data points they wish they had, from true product retention to the complex inner workings of human biology.Subscribe to Carta's weekly Data Minute newsletter: https://carta.com/subscribe/data-newsletter-sign-up/Explore interactive startup and VC data, with Carta's Data Desk: https://carta.com/data-desk/Chapters:00:30 – Salil Deshpande: AI gross margins and value creation01:29 – Why the rate of AI improvement is still increasing02:02 – Secondary markets and the end of the 10+2 model03:28 – How massive fund sizes impact price discipline04:40 – Amit A.

In this episode of Outlaw God, Dr. Steven Paulson and Caleb Keith discuss the evangelical doctrine of sin, contrasting it with medieval and modern approaches that define sin primarily as individual acts or failures of free will. Using Psalm 51 and David's encounter with the prophet Nathan, they explain how sin is truly revealed and forgiven not by the law or human effort, but through the external promise of the gospel. The conversation highlights Luther's insight that sin is ultimately unbelief, while faith itself is a gift created by God's Word that frees the sinner through mercy rather than merit.

Episode 650: Are You Justifying Your Way Out Of The Life You Want?What if the person you've been the gentlest with — and the hardest on — is you?In this raw and relatable episode, Heidi digs into the fascinating inner tug-of-war so many women face: beating ourselves up over every little thing… then expertly justifying the exact habits we wish we could change. From her own honest story about pasta, chai lattes, “healthy” cookies, and hormones, she shows why both voices (the harsh critic and the soft justifier) are trying to protect us — and how they quietly keep us stuck.This conversation ties together Episodes 648 and 649 and lands with the kind of truth that feels like a warm hug and a loving nudge at the same time.If you're tired of the same loop and ready to step into your power, this 10-minute episode is for you.New episodes drop every few days — subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share with the women who need this reminder.

Recorded April 10, 2026 In this episode, the goon squad takes a swing at the AI gold rush, the made-up drama of "AV-over-IP 2.0," and the growing industry tradition of rebranding the same old nonsense with shinier buzzwords. If you've ever wondered whether cloud creep, interoperability promises, and subscription pricing are solving real problems or just creating newer, dumber ones, this one's for you. Then the panel gets into one of higher ed AV's favorite recurring fights: why everyone thinks classroom tech should cost about $600, why "just throw a TV on the wall" is never the simple solution people think it is, and how furniture somehow always gets approved before the technology that makes the room actually work.  Along the way, they also wander into lecterns, teaching stations, and the usual AV nerd arguing over boxes, desks, and support standards like civilization depends on it.

4. Roman Exceptionalism and the Complexity of Power Guest Authors: Scott McGill and Susanna Wright (7)The final discussion addresses the *Aeneid* as a document of Roman exceptionalism, justifying Augustus's empire as a divinely ordained destiny. However, McGill and Wright argue the poem transcends mere propaganda by emphasizing the human scale and showing sympathy for Aeneas's adversaries, Dido and Turnus. They interpret Virgil's portrayal of weak or coercive kings as a potential critique of the era's shifting power dynamics. Ultimately, the work reflects the "veneer of Republicanism" Augustus maintained while establishing absolute rule, making the *Aeneid* a complex exploration of political transition and the hazards of individual power. (8)1915 AENEID

How do people justify what others see as transgression? Taking that question to the Persian-Muslim and Latin-Christian worlds over the period 1200 to 1700, Justifying Transgression: Muslims, Christians, and the Law - 1200 to 1700(de Gruyter, 2023) shows that people in both these worlds invested considerable energy in worrying, debating, and writing about proscribed practices. It compares how people in the two worlds came to terms with the proscriptions of sodomy, idolatry, and usury. When historians speak of the gap between premodern practice and the legal theory of the time, they tend to ignore the myriad of justifications that filled this gap. Moreover, a focus on justification evens out many of the contrasts that have been alleged to exist between the two worlds, or the Muslim and Christian worlds more generally. The similarities outweigh the differences in the ways people came to terms with the various rules of divine law. The level of flexibility of the theologians and jurists in charge of divine law varied more over time and by topic than between the two worlds. Both worlds also saw the development of ever more sophisticated justifications. Amid the increasing complexity of justifications, a particular kind of reasoning emerged: that good outcomes are more important than upholding rules for their own sake.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.globaldispatches.orgOne of the fundamental precepts of the United Nations Charter is that waging war against another UN member state is simply not permitted. It's illegal. There are, however, some narrow exceptions — and here the United States is playing a game of legal legerdemain. In the first segment of our show, we break down the formal legal justification the Trump administration invoked at the United Nations to defend its bombing campaign against Iran. Does it hold up? And more importantly, how do other countries view this retroactive justification for America and Israel's war of choice? We also discuss a potential UN diplomatic intervention in the Strait of Hormuz that is gaining some traction, modeled on one of the UN's successes during the Russia-Ukraine war.After the fold, and for paying subscribers, we examine why the United States is standing virtually alone at the Commission on the Status of Women, casting lone “no” votes on a host of measures intended to promote gender equality. Finally, we discuss the newest entrant in the race to replace António Guterres as secretary-general, Virginia Gamba, and how her nomination may shake up the race.https://www.globaldispatches.org/40PercentOff

Ramit Sethi of I Will Teach You To Be Rich talks to John and Victoria in a follow-up episode. This couple, in their thirties with three children and a home in suburban New York, is facing severe financial challenges with 97% fixed costs and over $100K in non-mortgage debt. In their last session, Ramit highlighted the urgency of their situation, presenting them with two stark choices: sell their house and clear debt, or double down on income and aggressive cuts. They chose to keep their house, which required Victoria to return to work, both of them to significantly increase their earnings, and drastically cut spending. Ramit challenged them to implement these changes within two months. This episode reveals how John and Victoria fared in those crucial eight weeks. Did they truly embrace change, or did old habits resurface? In this episode we uncover: • Their initial feelings after the first money coaching session • The surprising reason for Victoria's job loss • How they managed to cut $500 from their grocery bill • Why John thinks dry cleaning is a necessity • Ramit's radical advice on debt repayment versus savings • The true meaning of "rich life" for John and Victoria • How their childhood money beliefs impact their present • The hidden challenge of Victoria's student loans • Their struggle with an external vs. internal locus of control • The danger of a financial plan that requires 100% perfection Chapters: (00:00:00) The desperation that led to an application to Ramit (00:03:00) How a hotel bill leads to a missed mortgage payment (00:05:25) The once-a-year money conversation (00:10:47) The devastating results of Victoria's annual money spreadsheet (00:19:18) Justifying thousands in Amazon purchases with high debt (00:28:15) Understanding their $600K net worth and zero liquidity (00:35:10) The crushing reality of 97% fixed costs (01:10:46) Victoria's inherited money trauma fuels her avoidance (01:19:40) The importance of taking decisive action (01:21:05) The couple's future plans This episode is brought to you by: Facet | As of the date of this recording, Facet is waiving the enrollment fee for new annual members, and for my audience, Facet is offering $300 into your brokerage account if you invest and maintain $5,000 within your first 90 days.

This surprise solo episode came straight from the heart. After a conversation in my monthly group about how hard it can feel to justify spending money on yourself, especially as a woman, especially as a caretaker, I had to press record.We're talking about chronic stress, identity expansion, and why a retreat is not indulgent, it's medicine. I share the science behind rest, neuroplasticity, and how changing your environment can literally change your brain. If you've been stuck in survival mode, shrinking your joy, and putting yourself last, consider this your permission slip. Investing in yourself is not selfish. It's how you expand your capacity to hold your life.Highlights:(02:10) Why women are neurologically wired to deprioritize themselves (04:00) Chronic stress and how it shrinks your capacity for joy (06:15) Novel environments, neuroplasticity, and breakthrough moments (08:45) The bold decision that changed my life forever (10:30) Rest as preventative medicine, not a luxury (13:20) Burnout, identity shifts, and expanding your capacityQualia Mind - click hereCoupon Code: SHOCKANDYALL (15% off any purchase)Visit Nicole's on demand fitness platform for live weekly classes and a recorded library of yoga, strength training, guided audio meditations and mobility (Kinstretch) classes, as well: https://www.sweatandstillness.comGrab Nicole's bestselling children's book and enter your email for A FREE GIFT: https://www.yolkedbook.comFind Nicole on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nicolesciacca/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenicolesciaccaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicolesciaccayoga/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1X8PPWCQa2werd4unex1eAPractice yoga with Nicole in person in Santa Monica, CA at Aviator Nation Ride.

How are federal funding freezes and campus unrest impacting the future of academic research and student wellness? In this episode of Cut to the Chase: Podcast, host Gregg Goldfarb is joined by longtime CUNY professor and former dean, Ken Gold, to unpack how changes to federal research funding, campus governance, and rising tensions around free speech and antisemitism are reshaping higher education. Drawing on decades of academic leadership, Ken offers a candid, firsthand look at what happens when research dollars are delayed, faculty morale fractures, and universities are forced to navigate political pressure, protest, and constitutional limits. This discussion goes beyond headlines to reveal how today's campus battles are quietly redefining institutional risk, innovation, and the future workforce.   What to expect in this episode: How frozen and delayed federal research funding is disrupting universities nationwide Why deprioritizing basic research could hurt innovation and much more The impact of long-term budget pressure on faculty hiring, recruitment, and institutional risk How universities are responding to antisemitism, campus protests, and free speech disputes The difference between anti-Zionism and antisemitism (and why it matters) The role of faculty governance, public statements, and "no confidence" votes during crises Constitutional and regulatory challenges emerging from conflicting federal and local policies Why institutional memory and leadership experience matter more than ever in turbulent times   Stay tuned for more updates, and don't miss our next deep dive on Cut to the Chase: Podcast with Gregg Goldfarb!   Subscribe, rate, review, and share this episode of the Cut to the Chase: Podcast!   Resources: Buy Ken's book, "The Forgotten Borough" by Kenneth Gold: https://cup.columbia.edu/book/the-forgotten-borough/9780231208611    This episode was produced and brought to you by Reignite Media.  

AI-generated deep fakes are being used to justify state violence and manipulate public opinion in real time.We're breaking down what's happening in Minneapolis—where federal agents are using altered images and AI-manipulated video to paint victims as threats, criminals, or weak. One woman shot in the face. One male nurse killed while filming. One civil rights attorney's tears added in post. All of it designed to shift the narrative, flood the zone with confusion, and make you stop trusting anything.What we cover:Why deep fakes are more dangerous than misinformation — They don't just lie, they manufacture emotionHow the "flood the zone" strategy works — Overwhelm people with so much fake content they give up on truthWhat happens when your mom can't tell real from fake — The collapse of shared reality isn't theoretical anymoreWhy this breaks institutional trust forever — Once credibility is destroyed, it doesn't come backHow Russia's playbook became America's playbook — PsyOps tactics are now domestic policyWhat to do when you can't believe your own eyes — Practical skepticism in an age of slopChapters:00:00 — Intro: The Deep Fake Problem in Minneapolis02:37 — Why Immigrants Are Being Targeted With Fake Narratives04:55 — The Renee Goode Shooting: Real Video vs. AI-Altered Version07:18 — Alex Prettie Must Killed While Filming ICE Agents09:44 — Nikita Armstrong's Tears Were Added By AI11:45 — The Putin Playbook: Flood the Zone With Confusion14:13 — How Deep Fakes Break Institutional Trust Forever17:37 — This Isn't Politics—It's Basic Human Decency19:26 — Trump's 35% Approval Rating and What It Means22:03 — What You Can Do When You Can't Trust Your EyesSafety/Disclaimer Note: This episode contains discussion of state violence, racial profiling, and police shootings.

Justifying investment in customer success is far harder than justifying spend in sales and marketing. In episode #350, Ben walks through a practical framework for evaluating the ROI of customer success and retention programs by tying customer success investment directly to ARR, MRR, and revenue retention performance. Instead of relying on vague qualitative benefits, this episode outlines how finance and SaaS leaders can quantify retention improvements and translate them into real financial impact. Resources Mentioned Blog post on quantifying customer success and retention ROI: https://www.thesaascfo.com/quantifying-investments-in-customer-success-and-retention/ SaaS Metrics Course: https://www.thesaasacademy.com/the-saas-metrics-foundation What You'll Learn Where customer success should be classified on the SaaS P&L (COGS vs. Sales) Why customer success ROI is harder to quantify than CAC or go-to-market efficiency How to use MRR and ARR waterfalls as the foundation for retention analysis The difference between gross revenue retention and net revenue retention in ROI modeling How expansion, contraction, and churn act as independent levers in retention A scenario-based approach to estimating ARR impact from retention improvements Why It Matters Helps justify customer success spend with real revenue and ARR impact Improves financial modeling and long-term financial strategy decisions Connects retention performance to unit economics and scalability Avoids over-investing in customer success without measurable outcomes Provides a clearer framework for board and investor discussions

Was the use of violence on January 6th Capitol attacks legitimate? Is the use of violence morally justified by members of Extinction Rebellion or Just Stop Oil campaigners? Justifying Violent Protest: Law and Morality in Democratic States (Routledge, 2023) addresses these issues head on, to make a radical, but compelling argument in favour of the legitimate use of violence in protest in liberal democracies. Grounded in theories of constitutional morality, the book makes the case that when states make illogical or unjust laws, citizens have morally justifiable reasons to disobey. Violence can act as moral dialogue - both expressively and directly - to denounce unjust laws, particularly in cases where civil disobedience does not go far enough. This book considers recent protest movements, of which the use of violent protest has been central to citizens demands. It examines the activism of the Hong Kong pro-democracy protests, Extinction Rebellion, Black Lives Matter movement, and other contemporary international movements.  This book could not be more timely. In a world where citizens' rights to protest are being increasingly curtailed, and climate destruction is becoming an increasing matter of urgency, Greenwood-Reeves addresses the legitimacy of violent protest and ultimate importance in upholding liberal democracy.  Dr James Greenwood-Reeves is a Lecturer in Law at The University of Leeds. One of his current projects @lawsadrag Jane Richards is a doctoral student at the University of Hong Kong. You can find her on twitter where she follows all things related to human rights and Hong Kong politics @JaneRichardsHK Learn more about your ad choices.

This book considers recent protest movements, of which the use of violent protest has been central to citizens demands. It examines the activism of the Hong Kong pro-democracy protests, Extinction Rebellion, Black Lives Matter movement, and other contemporary international movements.  This book could not be more timely. In a world where citizens' rights to protest are being increasingly curtailed, and climate destruction is becoming an increasing matter of urgency, Greenwood-Reeves addresses the legitimacy of violent protest and ultimate importance in upholding liberal democracy.  Dr James Greenwood-Reeves is a Lecturer in Law at The University of Leeds. One of his current projects @lawsadrag Jane Richards is a doctoral student at the University of Hong Kong.
