Podcasts about Karan

In this episode of Building Doors, host Lauren Karan sits down with Paul Rojas, a commercial litigation lawyer and founder of ConstructSupport Australia. Paul pulls back the curtain on the silent crisis gripping the construction industry: record-high insolvencies. With years of experience working with builders, liquidators, and directors in the midst of legal storms, Paul provides a stark look at the realities of cash flow strain, contract breaches, and the domino effect that can topple even established companies.Paul shares hard-won wisdom on why proactive legal counsel is not an expense, but a critical investment in your business's survival. He demystifies complex contract clauses, reveals the common pitfalls that sink SMEs, and outlines the practical steps every construction business owner must take to shield themselves from financial collapse. Whether you're a seasoned builder or a new subcontractor, this episode is an essential guide to building a more resilient and legally sound business.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Insolvency and Risk in Construction:Why insolvency rates in the construction sector are at an all-time high.The “four-year lag” effect of economic shocks like COVID-19.The domino effect when one builder collapses and how it impacts the entire supply chain.Contracts and Legal Protection:Common contract mistakes that can destroy your business.The difference between variations and cost escalation clauses and why it matters.Why every builder and subcontractor must understand their contract terms, not just have them.Business Growth and Leadership:Paul's unique “merge to retire” model for law firm acquisitions.How to build a sustainable business through referrals, acquisitions, and trusted partnerships.Lessons from leading teams, spotting culture misfits, and trusting your gut in hiring.Resilience and Legacy:How to restructure a struggling business and turn it around.The power of focus and why staying in your niche protects you from unnecessary risk.Paul's vision for a more transparent, accessible legal service model for SMEs.Key Quotes from Paul Rojas“As boring as it sounds, it always comes down to your contracts; they're there to protect you.”“Insolvency doesn't hit straight away. There's always a four-year lag before the real impact shows.”“Stick to what you know and do it well. You can't be everything to everyone.”“Sometimes the biggest lesson in business is learning to trust your gut.”About Our Guest:Paul Rojas is a commercial litigation lawyer and founder of RCR Lawyers, ConstructSupport Australia, and a national debt collection company. With more than 20 years of experience across construction, insolvency, and commercial law, Paul has helped countless businesses navigate disputes, avoid collapse, and rebuild stronger.

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: Moonlit Discoveries: Unearthing Khajuraho's Hidden Secrets Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2025-10-08-22-34-02-hi Story Transcript:Hi: शरद ऋतु की रात थी।En: It was a winter night.Hi: खजुराहो के मंदिर चाँदनी में नहाए हुए थे।En: The Khajuraho temples were bathed in moonlight.Hi: पत्थर की प्राचीन मूर्तियाँ और नक्काशी ऐसी लग रही थीं मानो वे कहानियाँ सुना रही हों।En: The ancient stone sculptures and carvings seemed as if they were telling stories.Hi: दूर से आती ढोल-नगाड़ों की ध्वनि और नव दुर्गा की भेंट की गूंज इस रहस्यमयी माहौल को और भी आकर्षक बना रही थी।En: The distant sounds of drums and the echoes of offerings for Nav Durga made this mysterious atmosphere even more captivating.Hi: अदिति, एक उत्साही पुरातत्वविद्, उम्मीद भरी नज़र से मंदिरों के आसपास देख रही थी।En: Aditi, an enthusiastic archaeologist, was looking around the temples with hopeful eyes.Hi: उसके मन में एक नई खोज की चाहत थी—खजुराहो मंदिर के इतिहास का एक अनकहा अध्याय लिखने की।En: She had a desire for a new discovery—to write an untold chapter of the history of the Khajuraho temples.Hi: उसकी टीम को सरकार की ओर से ज्यादा समर्थन नहीं मिला था, पर अदिति का हौसला बुलंद था।En: Her team hadn't received much support from the government, but Aditi's spirit was high.Hi: उसके साथ रोहन था, जो अदिति के काम और जुनून से प्रभावित था, लेकिन परियोजना की सफलता को लेकर संदेह में था।En: With her was Rohan, who was impressed by Aditi's work and passion, though he was doubtful about the project's success.Hi: फिर भी, वह अदिति का साथी होने के नाते उसका साथ दे रहा था।En: Even so, as a partner, he stood by her.Hi: टीम में करन भी था, जो एक स्थानीय इतिहासकार था।En: The team also included Karan, a local historian.Hi: वह बाहरी लोगों से थोड़ी दूरी रखता था, लेकिन अदिति की खोज की दिशा से प्रभावित था।En: He generally kept some distance from outsiders but was impressed by the direction of Aditi's quest.Hi: उसे लगा कि यह खोज स्थानीय समुदाय के लिए भी महत्त्वपूर्ण साबित हो सकती है।En: He felt this discovery could prove significant for the local community as well.Hi: अदिति ने निर्णय लिया कि रात को देर तक खुदाई का काम जारी रखेंगे।En: Aditi decided to continue the excavation work late into the night.Hi: उसने रोहन और करन को अपनी योजना पर विश्वास करने के लिए कहा।En: She asked Rohan and Karan to trust her plan.Hi: यह दोनों के लिए एक चुनौती थी, लेकिन अदिति के विश्वास ने उन्हें इस अभियान का हिस्सा बनने के लिए प्रेरित किया।En: It was a challenge for both, but Aditi's confidence inspired them to be a part of the mission.Hi: नवरात्रि की अंतिम रात की रोशनी में, अदिति और उसकी टीम ने मंदिर के नीचे कुछ अनोखा खोज निकाला।En: In the light of the final night of Navratri, Aditi and her team discovered something unique beneath the temple.Hi: मिट्टी के नीचे एक प्राचीन वस्तु छिपी थी, जो एक नए मंदिर के संरचना का सुराग दे रही थी।En: Hidden under the soil was an ancient artifact, hinting at the structure of a new temple.Hi: यह एक महत्त्वपूर्ण खोज थी, जिसने टीम के सभी सदस्यों की परेशानियॉं दूर कर दीं।En: This was a significant discovery that dispelled all the team's worries.Hi: इस खोज ने स्थानीय प्रशासन और समुदाय का ध्यान आकर्षित किया।En: This discovery attracted the attention of the local administration and community.Hi: परियोजना को न केवल समर्थन बल्कि अतिरिक्त वित्तीय सहायता भी मिल गई।En: The project not only received support but also additional financial assistance.Hi: रोहन ने इस अनुभव से सीखा कि टीम वर्क और सकारात्मक सोच से बड़ी बाधाएं भी पार की जा सकती हैं।En: Rohan learned from this experience that teamwork and positive thinking can overcome great obstacles.Hi: करन न केवल सहयोगी बन गया बल्कि परियोजना में उसकी भूमिका और भी प्रमुख हो गई।En: Karan not only became a collaborator but his role in the project became even more prominent.Hi: अदिति को यह अहसास हुआ कि स्थानीय दृष्टिकोण का सम्मान और तालमेल कितना आवश्यक है।En: Aditi realized how essential it is to respect and harmonize with the local perspective.Hi: खजुराहो के मंदिरों के इतिहास में एक नया पृष्ठ जुड़ गया था।En: A new page had been added to the history of the Khajuraho temples.Hi: अब यह प्राचीन मंदिर फिर से विश्वस्तर पर चर्चा का विषय बनने को तैयार थे।En: Now, these ancient temples were ready to become a topic of global discussion once again.Hi: और इस बार, सबकी उम्मीदें और उत्साह भी साथ थे।En: And this time, everyone's hopes and enthusiasm were also along for the ride.

Household chores are not just a woman's job—and they're not “help” when men do them.

Liquid biopsy is breaking speed and access barriers in precision oncology. In this episode of the Precision Medicine Podcast, part of our series Bringing Precision Medicine to Everyone and the first in a two-part focus, founder and host Karan Cushman speaks with Dr. Kashyap Patel, CEO of Carolina Blood and Cancer Care Associates, author, and national leader in value-based oncology.Together, they explore how liquid biopsy is changing the diagnostic and treatment landscape. This blood-based test can deliver results in days, be repeated as needed, and reduce the need for invasive procedures. Tissue biopsy remains important, but when the samples are too small or unsuitable for testing, liquid biopsy provides a valuable alternative in guiding treatment decisions and monitoring disease.For patients with aggressive “turbo cancers” such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or small cell lung cancer, the time saved can be lifesaving. Karan shares her own experience with DLBCL, while Dr. Patel highlights real-world cases where liquid biopsy revealed actionable mutations, informed therapy, or enabled minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring.Finally, Dr. Patel underscores the need for standardization and payer alignment to move liquid biopsy from innovation to everyday practice. This candid discussion frames liquid biopsy not as a futuristic idea, but as a clinically powerful and scalable tool that is closing gaps in precision oncology today.

Welcome to The Zenergy Podcast! As we conclude our DC Climate Week series, it seems only fitting that we end with an interview by one of the founders and organizers of the event, C'pher Gresham. C'pher and Karan sit down to discuss the genesis of DC Climate Week, how it aims to bring the DC community together for a great cause, and how it all started with a question: What does DC need? C'pher breaks down the logistics of putting together such a big event and we learn how the decentralized structure of DC Climate Week works. We chat about learnings when creating a brand new event and we peer into C'pher's future hopes for climate conferences. Credits:Editing/Graphics: Desta Wondirad, Wondir Studios
