What if the secret to creating a richer life isn't doing more—but becoming unavailable for chaos? Today I'm joined by Shania Khan, creator of Soft 60, for a conversation about nervous system regulation, ambition, wealth, luxury, personal style, and what happens when women finally stop treating stress like a prerequisite for success. Shania and I both spent years in New York City, where moving fast, working harder, and constantly pushing felt completely normal. But after leaving the city—and learning how to slow down—we both began questioning the same thing: what if urgency isn't actually making us more successful? As Shania says in this episode: chaos repels wealth. We talk about why more effort doesn't always equal more money, the hidden cost of living in a constant state of urgency, and why creating space in your life can actually create space for more wealth, creativity, opportunities, and joy. We also get into the pressure women feel to do everything, why Shania believes a beautiful life is built through subtraction rather than addition, decision fatigue, clearing out your closet, dressing for the woman you are today, and why comfort and luxury are absolutely allowed to coexist. And we have a fascinating conversation about social media, authenticity, and the difference between sharing your truth with perspective…and turning your platform into a live feed of your most painful moments. In this episode, we talk about: • Why Shania believes chaos repels wealth • Breaking the addiction to hustle, urgency, and overworking • Why working harder doesn't necessarily mean earning more • Nervous system regulation as a daily practice • How slowing down can actually support ambition • Why creativity needs space and stillness • Building a beautiful life through subtraction • Decluttering your home, wardrobe, schedule, and relationships • Decision fatigue and why your closet might be stressing you out • Personal style, comfort, natural fabrics, and feeling luxurious in your clothes • The difference between authenticity and trauma dumping online • Why people want to see possibility, hope, and women winning • Shania's Soft 60 practice and learning to create calm one day at a time This conversation is your permission slip to stop white-knuckling your way toward the life you want. You do not have to destroy yourself to become successful. You do not have to live in urgency to be ambitious. And you certainly don't have to earn your wealth through exhaustion. Sometimes the richest thing you can do is slow the fuck down. Connect with Shania on social media @IamShaniaKhan and learn more about Soft 60 through the link in her profile.
Noor Inayat Khan war vieles: muslimische Prinzessin, Musikerin und Kinderbuchautorin. Vor allem aber wurde sie im Zweiten Weltkrieg zur tragischen Heldin. Im Dienst einer Spezialeinheit des britischen Geheimdienstes lässt die Tochter eines Inders und einer Amerikanerin sich im Juni 1943 ins besetzte Frankreich einschleusen. Doch die Gestapo ist ihr schon bald auf der Spur.Du hast Feedback oder einen Themenvorschlag für Joachim und Nils?

Madlanga Commission Chairperson Mbuyiseli Madlanga says a request to postpone Major General Firoz Khan's testimony has been refused. Khan will not appear physically but is expected to testify virtually, with a separate application for in-camera testimony pending. Madlanga says the commission's secretary, Dr Nolitha Vukuza, will lay criminal charges against Khan for failing to appear and ignoring a subpoena. He describes Khan's non-attendance as a flagrant disregard of the commission.

Research on how to collect more tax in developing countries has focused on how information, especially administrative data, can help. But in Uganda for example, buyers and sellers report different amounts for the same VAT transaction in 79% of cases. The invoices exist ... but nobody in the tax administration is comparing them.In this week's VoxDev Talk Anders Jensen (Harvard Kennedy School) and Jonathan Weigel (UC Berkeley) argue that information needs an administration that is able to use it. They have examined the research evidence on how tax authorities are organised, who they hire, where they send their staff, and how much freedom those officials get. To maximise revenues they find that many of Max Weber's century-old rules for how to run a bureaucracy still apply, but others often need to bend a little. The research behind this episode:Jensen, Anders, and Jonathan L. Weigel. 2026. "No Taxation without Administration: Bringing the State Back into the Public Finance of Developing Countries." Journal of Economic Literature 64 (1): 246-280. The working paper version is available as NBER Working Paper 34729.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, Jonathan Weigel, and Anders Jensen. 2026. "No Taxation without Administration." VoxDev Talks (podcast).About the guestsAnders Jensen is Associate Professor of Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School, a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and research co-director of the State programme at the International Growth Centre. His research spans the rise of modern tax systems, informality and consumption taxes, and how governments with limited capacity can improve tax administration and enforcement. He works with governments in Ghana, Zambia, Liberia and Brazil.Jonathan Weigel is Assistant Professor of Business and Public Policy at the Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley, and a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research. His research spans state capacity, taxation, corruption, and the links between religion and institutions. His fieldwork is based mainly in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where he runs the research organisation ODEKA.Research cited in this episodeNo taxation without information. Dina Pomeranz's study of Chile's value-added tax showed how the paper trail between firms helps to enforce the tax; each firm has a reason to demand an invoice from its supplier, and the tax authority can use those invoices to detect evasion. Pomeranz, Dina. 2015. "No Taxation without Information: Deterrence and Self-Enforcement in the Value Added Tax." American Economic Review 105 (8): 2539-2569.Third-party reporting in Denmark. Henrik Kleven and co-authors ran a randomised tax audit experiment in Denmark. Evasion was close to zero on income that employers and banks report to the tax authority, and substantial on income that taxpayers report themselves. Kleven, Henrik Jacobsen, Martin B. Knudsen, Claus Thustrup Kreiner, Soren Pedersen, and Emmanuel Saez. 2011. "Unwilling or Unable to Cheat? Evidence from a Tax Audit Experiment in Denmark." Econometrica 79 (3): 651-692.Missing transactions in Uganda. The 79% figure comes from VAT reports in Uganda, where sellers and buyers declare different amounts for the same transactions. The gap suggests that the tax authority does not systematically cross-check the reports, or that firms act as if it does not. Almunia, Miguel, Jonas Hjort, Justine Knebelmann, and Lin Tian. 2024. "Strategic or Confused Firms? Evidence from 'Missing' Transactions in Uganda." Review of Economics and Statistics 106 (1): 256-265.The US tax gap. Even a high-capacity administration struggles without third-party data. For tax years 2014 to 2016, the Internal Revenue Service estimated that 55% of income subject to little or no information reporting, such as sole proprietor income, was misreported, compared with 1% of wages and salaries. Internal Revenue Service. 2022. Tax Gap Estimates for Tax Years 2014-2016. Publication 5364. Washington, DC: IRS."In developing countries, tax administration is tax policy." The paper's epigraph comes from Milka Casanegra de Jantscher, who co-edited an IMF volume on tax administration with Richard Bird. The line sums up an older policy consensus that building the tax authority matters more than setting the right rates. Bird, Richard M., and Milka Casanegra de Jantscher, eds. 1992. Improving Tax Administration in Developing Countries. Washington, DC: International Monetary Fund.Weber's ideal bureaucracy. Max Weber described a "rational" bureaucracy with a single chain of command, specialised departments, recruitment by examination, promotion by seniority and decisions governed by rules rather than discretion. Jensen and Weigel use his categories to organise the evidence, and show how developing countries adapt them to local conditions. Weber, Max. 1978 (first published 1921). Economy and Society: An Outline of Interpretive Sociology. Berkeley: University of California Press.The sinews of power. The phrase comes from John Brewer's history of the British state, which credits a professional, specialised Excise Office with raising the revenue that paid for Britain's 18th-century wars. Brewer, John. 1990. The Sinews of Power: War, Money, and the English State, 1688-1783. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press.Medium taxpayer offices in Indonesia. Indonesia created dedicated offices for medium-sized corporate taxpayers, which sharply cut the number of taxpayers per auditor. Revenue from the firms in these offices rose by 64% in the short term and by 128% after six years. Basri, M. Chatib, Mayara Felix, Rema Hanna, and Benjamin A. Olken. 2021. "Tax Administration vs. Tax Rates: Evidence from Corporate Taxation in Indonesia." American Economic Review 111 (12): 3827-3871.Transfer mispricing and the arm's length principle. Multinationals can shift profits by setting the prices of transactions between their own subsidiaries. Tax authorities test these prices against the arm's length principle, which asks what unrelated firms would have charged each other. Staff in large taxpayer offices must learn to apply it; staff who deal with small firms never need to.The Pendleton Act. The US Civil Service Reform Act of 1883 introduced competitive examinations for federal jobs, to limit patronage appointments. Abhay Aneja and Guo Xu find that the reform improved public sector performance. Aneja, Abhay, and Guo Xu. 2024. "Strengthening State Capacity: Civil Service Reform and Public Sector Performance during the Gilded Age." American Economic Review 114 (8): 2352-2387.City chiefs as tax collectors. In Kananga, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, neighbourhoods were randomly assigned to property tax collection by state agents or by local city chiefs. Chiefs raised revenue by more than 40%, mainly because they knew which households were more willing to pay. Balan, Pablo, Augustin Bergeron, Gabriel Tourek, and Jonathan L. Weigel. 2022. "Local Elites as State Capacity: How City Chiefs Use Local Information to Increase Tax Compliance in the Democratic Republic of the Congo." American Economic Review 112 (3): 762-797.Assigning tax collectors. The same tax campaign randomly assigned collectors to teams and to neighbourhoods. Simulations suggest that pairing the best collectors together, and sending them to the neighbourhoods with the highest revenue potential, would raise compliance by 37% compared with random assignment. Weigel, Jonathan, Pedro Bessone, Augustin Bergeron, Gabriel Tourek, and John Kabeya Kabeya. 2025. "Supermodular Bureaucrats: Experimental Evidence from the DRC." American Economic Review.Discretion, technology and bribes. In Ghana, property tax collectors equipped with tablets and digital maps spent less time finding properties and more time deciding whom to revisit; collections rose by 103% relative to the control group. In Tajikistan, electronic filing removed face-to-face contact with inspectors, and firms at high risk of evasion paid more tax, probably because they could no longer bribe the inspector. Dzansi, James, Anders Jensen, David Lagakos, and Henry Telli. 2023. "Technology and Tax Capacity: Evidence from Local Governments in Ghana." NBER Working Paper 29923. Okunogbe, Oyebola, and Victor Pouliquen. 2022. "Technology, Taxation, and Corruption: Evidence from the Introduction of Electronic Tax Filing." American Economic Journal: Economic Policy 14 (1): 341-372.Public goods and tax compliance. Several studies test whether a government can persuade citizens to pay more tax by providing public goods first. In Acayucan, a small city in Mexico, randomised street paving raised property tax compliance. Programmes in Mexico City, Pakistan and Freetown, Sierra Leone, found small or mixed effects. Fernandez, Manuel, Marco Gonzalez-Navarro, and Climent Quintana-Domeque. 2025. "Local Public Goods and Property Tax Compliance: Evidence from Residential Street Pavement." Working paper. Khan, Adnan Q., Asim I. Khwaja, Benjamin A. Olken, and Mahvish Shaukat. 2023. "Strengthening the Social Compact: Experimental Evidence from Pakistan." Working paper.The demand-driven social contract. Douglass North and Barry Weingast argued that 17th-century English taxpayers agreed to pay more tax in exchange for a greater say in government. In Kananga, citizens in neighbourhoods assigned to door-to-door property tax collection became more likely to attend town hall meetings and to evaluate government performance. North, Douglass C., and Barry R. Weingast. 1989. "Constitutions and Commitment: The Evolution of Institutions Governing Public Choice in Seventeenth-Century England." Journal of Economic History 49 (4): 803-832. Weigel, Jonathan L. 2020. "The Participation Dividend of Taxation: How Citizens in Congo Engage More with the State When It Tries to Tax Them." Quarterly Journal of Economics 135 (4): 1849-1903.Procedural justice. Citizens are more likely to accept a state's right to tax when its officials apply the law in a fair, predictable and equal way, rather than arbitrarily or on the basis of personal connections. Margaret Levi and co-authors treat procedural justice as one of the main sources of legitimacy. Levi, Margaret, Audrey Sacks, and Tom Tyler. 2009. "Conceptualizing Legitimacy, Measuring Legitimating Beliefs." American Behavioral Scientist 53 (3): 354-375.China's administrative model. Wei Cui, a law professor at the University of British Columbia, describes a Chinese tax system that relies less on taxpayer declarations and more on large numbers of decentralised officials who manage individual taxpayers. China has as many local tax offices as post offices, and collects about 20% of GDP in tax. Cui, Wei. 2022. The Administrative Foundations of the Chinese Fiscal State.

Deswegen wird auch der Versuch einer islamischen Partei scheitern, so Khan. Zusammen mit Maximilian und Roland Tichy analysiert er die Wahl in Berlin – und ihre Konsequenzen für das Land.

Director Lena Khan talks with Mike about Best of the Best (2026), her Bollywood-fusion dance comedy for Netflix from writers Hasan Minhaj and Prashanth Venkataramanujam. Khan traces her path from UCLA activism and music videos to her debut The Tiger Hunter, and how Minhaj and Venkataramanujam brought her on after asking for script notes and liking what she said.They dig into the rewrite process, Khan's push for tonal consistency across the film's teen-comedy, dance-movie, and female-friendship strands, and her call to trade a boy-subplot for a betrayal that lands harder. Khan talks choreographers Phillip Chbeeb and Mackenzie Dustman, cinematographer Adam Carbone, shooting dance numbers in a single day versus Bollywood's usual five or six, and calibrating the "15% Bollywood" spectacle without tipping into Glee. She also talks working with Rizwan Manji, mining her own friendships to crack a character, and what's next with her project Baby.Best of the Best is now streaming on Netflix.

What happens when two investment bankers leave a 20-year career on Wall Street to build a purpose-driven beverage company? In Episode #581 of Black Entrepreneur Experience, Dr. Frances sits down with Asim Khan, former investment banker and co-founder of ZYN, a beverage company inspired by the ancient wisdom of turmeric and holistic wellness. Asim shares the personal "aha moment" that led him and his brother to leave finance and pursue entrepreneurship. After witnessing their father experience severe diabetic nerve pain during a family trip to Pakistan, the brothers began researching turmeric and curcumin and ultimately developed a modern beverage built around this ancient ingredient. But Asim's story goes far beyond the product. He talks openly about the realities of entrepreneurship, including entering an extremely competitive beverage industry, learning sales and marketing from scratch, being repeatedly rejected by retailers, navigating distributors and suppliers, funding the company themselves, and building a business around a social mission. One of his strongest messages to entrepreneurs is simple: take a risk on yourself. Asim also shares why he believes good ideas—not money—are often the scarce resource, how entrepreneurs can begin looking for capital, why persistence matters, and what he wishes he and his brother had known about the industry before starting. In this conversation, you'll hear about: • Making the transition from investment banking to entrepreneurship • Turning cultural knowledge into a modern business • Building a mission-driven company • The realities of competing in the beverage industry • Funding a business without outside investors or debt • Why entrepreneurs need to bet on themselves • Learning sales, marketing, distribution and supply chains from scratch • The importance of persistence after rejection • Building strong relationships with business partners • Using technology to operate more efficiently • Balancing entrepreneurship, family and personal life • Creating a legacy based on impact rather than personal recognition Asim's message is especially powerful for aspiring entrepreneurs who may be waiting for the perfect circumstances, the perfect funding, or permission to begin. Sometimes the first investment you have to make is in yourself. Guest: Asim Khan Co-Founder, ZYN Learn more about ZYN: DrinkZYN.com

This summer's extreme heat, wildfires and thousands of excess deaths have shown that the climate is destabilising faster than predicted. In the face of this undeniable crisis, what should be done? Tessa Khan is the founder of Uplift, an organisation working to decarbonise our energy system before it's too late. The former human rights lawyer realised a decade ago that none of the other social questions matter if we don't address the climate crisis. Tessa talks to Aaron Bastani about the calls to keep drilling in the North Sea, whether renewables are susceptible to economic shocks, and how an ageing population impacts climate politics.

Twenty-five years after the attacks of September 11, leading journalists, First Amendment advocates and scholars gathered at Columbia University for The Forever War and the First Amendment, a symposium examining how two decades of conflict reshaped journalism. Fresh from the event, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Azmat Khan joined E&P Reports to discuss what the press learned—and failed to learn—from covering the War on Terror. She argued that many of the challenges exposed after 9/11, from overreliance on government sources to growing secrecy and declining public trust, continue to shape journalism today. For local news leaders, Khan said, those lessons remain as relevant in their communities as they are on the world's biggest stories.

Introduction What does an insurer actually own after a few years of buying AI one use case at a time? Feathery co-founder Zack Khan argues that the answer decides whether AI ever produces more than incremental gains, because a workflow you cannot change without filing a vendor ticket is a workflow you are renting. Fresh off a $30 million round led by Portage, with Allstate and Erie both in as strategic investors, Khan walks host Joshua R. Hollander through what it takes to put workflow control in the hands of the operating teams themselves. Guest Bio Zack Khan is Co-Founder of Feathery, the AI operating and decisioning system for financial services. He started as a software engineer building complex forms at Robinhood and Nextdoor alongside co-founder Peter Dun, then became the fifth employee at Hightouch, where he led marketing as the company grew toward a $3 billion valuation. Khan and Dun founded Feathery in 2021 as a developer-focused form builder and grew it into a platform that now serves more than 300 firms, including Tokio Marine, Hiscox, Baldwin Group, and Hylant, orchestrating submission intake, virtual inspections, quoting, and benefits workflows across carriers, MGAs, and brokers. Feathery ran profitably before raising its $30 million round in July 2026. Key Topics -Vendor-led vs. team-owned workflows - Why the last generation of insurance software put every change behind a vendor ticket, and what changes when underwriting and operations teams define workflows in natural language instead. -Copilot licenses vs. step changes - Giving everyone a copilot produces small gains; redefining one workflow end to end took a carrier from an eight-hour time to quote down to fifteen minutes. -Orchestrate rather than replace - Feathery's agent, Robin, works across existing rating engines, AMSs, and even legacy desktop applications, automating the data entry instead of ripping out the system. -Rules where you want them, judgment where you need it - Deterministic guardrails handle rating inputs, while objective-driven agents handle tasks like checking a virtual inspection for a pool or a tree touching the roof. -The Baldwin Group benefits example - Custom employee benefit guides that took 20 to 30 or more hours to build now generate in minutes, across 10 to 15 assets and multiple languages, and the team's hours moved to consultative work. -What a platform actually is - Khan's test is control: if you cannot apply your own business logic to your own workflow without a vendor ticket, you bought a point solution. -Start in specialty lines - Fast-growing lines with less tech debt and less red tape are where AI transformation finds its first champions inside a large carrier. Notable Quotes "An actual platform gives you control. If you don't have fundamental control over the actual experience, and you're applying your own firm-specific business logic to your workflow, that is a point solution." "If your rating engine is working great, it's just the annoying part is typing data into it. You don't rip out the whole rating engine; you just automate the data entry part of it." "Some of our customers have gone from an eight-hour time to quote to less than fifteen minutes responding to producers. That's the stuff that actually will impact your bind ratio." "For AI to truly have the impact you want, you need to redefine the workflow, think about the end-to-end ideal process that you want your best underwriter, your best claims adjuster, your best producer to be following."

In this episode of the podcast, host Kristin Hayes invites Zehra Khan and Lauren Sidner to discuss their work on the Electricity Price Hub, a collaboration that involves Heatmap News, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the Clean Economy Project. The Hub visualizes national, state-level, and regional electricity prices—a feat that previously has been elusive due to the fragmentation of data across many sources. By putting prices in comparison for ZIP codes across the country, Khan, Sidner, and their colleagues are able to illuminate broad nationwide trends and the differences among states and regions when it comes to changing electricity prices and key drivers of that change. They discuss the role of data centers in electricity rate increases; what's behind the notable price spike in Washington, DC; considerations for state regulators and policymakers; and more.

September 2, 2026 - Season 17, Episode 17 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers initial signings of practice squad players and how one new outsider makes for an intriguing addition. Alex and I also discuss the Steelers initial 53-man roster remaining the same as we head into Wednesday. CB Joey Porter Jr. met the media on Tuesday and that was his first such session in quite a while. We go over several quotes from Porter and then take another deep dive into his contract extension situation. Alex and I discuss how Porter is really in between a rock and a hard place right now. We also discuss the few options he has moving forward until the regular season gets underway. The Steelers have a long-standing rule of not negotiating contracts once a regular season gets underway. With that being a known fact, Alex and I go over when that rule was put into place and why. We also discuss whether it is indeed archaic and not a benefit to the team in today's NFL landscape. Alex and I discuss the given reasons for ILB Elandon Roberts being cut on Sunday and how the team supposedly has not completely shut the door of him being a Steeler again at some point. We also discuss S DeShon Elliott starting the regular season on the Reserve/Injured list and the reason that GM Omar Khan gave on Monday for that move. Later in this show, Alex and I discuss a few other things that Khan and HC Mike McCarthy have said over the course of the last few days. This 81-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we end this show by answering several emails we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.
