It's time for our daily chat with KCBS Radio insider Phil Matier. Californians approved Proposition 36, which brought stiffer penalties for low-level theft and drug crimes when they went to the ballot box last November – a move that Governor Newsom was not hot on. Now, the governor may be moving to leave the measure without the funds to cover costs to lock more people up or force them into drug treatment.

Beyond Worldly Standards: Measuring Life by God's Measure Today's readings urge Christians not to measure their spiritual lives by worldly standards, . . . . . . such as material success or external acts of piety, but instead by the divine standard given by Jesus: “Be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect.” The world encourages selective love and reciprocity, but Christ calls His followers to radical love . . . even for enemies . . . and generous self-giving. This perfection is not about being flawless but about striving to love as God loves. The example of the Macedonian churches shows how true generosity flows from first giving oneself to God. Ultimately, the Christian life must be rooted in self-surrender, not in appearances or comparisons. While difficult, this is possible with God's grace. Hear more in this Meditation Media.

Most leaders agree that culture drives performance – but too often, it's reduced to a values exercise rather than a measurable, strategic asset. The reality is that negative workplace behaviours are among the strongest predictors of attrition, reputational damage and productivity decline. And in many cases, the warning signs are visible long before the damage becomes public.In this episode, we're joined by Charlie Sull – a globally recognised expert in corporate culture and AI. As co-founder of CultureX and a regular contributor to MIT Sloan Management Review, Charlie draws on one of the world's largest workplace culture datasets to help organisations decode what's really happening inside their walls – and take action where it matters most.He shares why culture must be measured and managed with the same rigour as financial or operational performance, and how AI is transforming the way we understand workplace dynamics.Thank you to HR Partner for sponsoring this season.

Everyone wants a secure network, but how do you prove it?  This week on Feds At The Edge, we speak with cybersecurity experts to discuss how to establish meaningful cybersecurity metrics to document that security.  LtCol Natalie Lamb, Cybersecurity Division OIC, Cyberspace Operations Group in the USMC, and Brian "Stretch" Meyer, Sr. Director of Engineering at Axonius Federal, breaks down three essential areas for leaders to focus on:   1.     Aligning Investments - With limited time and funding, agencies must prioritize cybersecurity efforts that support their mission.   2.     Knowing Your Network - From cloud sprawl to remote devices, your attack surface is growing. Understanding what you own and protect is the foundation of effective security.  3.     Setting Priorities - “Ya can't measure what you can't see.” Prioritize detection to make your metrics meaningful. We dive into two key performance indicators:  ·         MTTD (Mean Time to Detect) – How quickly do you identify a threat?  ·         MTTR (Mean Time to Remediate) – Once you detect it, how fast can you fix it?    Tune in on your favorite podcast platform today to learn why aligning your security metrics with mission outcomes isn't just good practice, it's essential for long-term resilience.        

Englishtown Borough Mayor Daniel Francisco says he's been inundated with interest from other officials throughout the state after the borough council passed a first-of-its-kind resolution last week rebating $150 of the state's $200 application fee for concealed carry permits, and he expects more communities will soon follow suit.

This week on GTM Live, Carolyn unpacks one of the most deeply ingrained—but damaging—habits in B2B go-to-market: measuring success based on which department sourced the deal.While many marketing leaders know this approach doesn't reflect reality, changing it is hard, especially in legacy orgs with outdated attribution models, internal inertia, and leadership that still demands simple answers to complex questions.In this solo episode, Carolyn breaks down the real problem: measuring performance by team creates siloed decision-making, warped incentives, and misses what actually moves buyers through the funnel.You'll hear why the future of GTM performance measurement is about mapping buyer behavior across an interconnected journey, not slicing credit by department. And she shares the exact 5-part framework Passetto uses to help teams ditch "department-sourced" for something far more accurate and impactful.If you've ever struggled to prove Marketing's full impact, or if your exec team is still obsessed with MQLs and last-touch attribution, this episode will hit home.Key topics in this episode:Why “department source” attribution is outdated and misleadingThe real structure of a modern buyer journeyHow this model leads to misaligned KPIs and credit battlesWhy most GTM teams lack the data architecture to measure what mattersA new framework to measure engagement, prospecting, and sales as one integrated systemThis episode is powered by ⁠⁠Passetto⁠⁠.

In software development, the real challenge often isn't coding—it's solving the right problems. In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche tackle one of the most overlooked but costly traps in tech: solving problems in software projects that don't need solving, while missing the ones that do. With the help of AI, they explore why teams often get stuck fixing symptoms instead of addressing root causes, launching features that don't matter, or optimizing performance before users even exist. Through candid examples and sharp insights, they demonstrate how developers can shift their mindset to deliver meaningful and lasting solutions. Solving Problems in Software Projects with AI This episode begins with a lighthearted intro: No, AI won't send killer robots to your house—but it can help you become a better developer. Rob and Michael let AI help set the topic: solving problems in software projects without actually solving the problem. They explain how developers often confuse motion with progress. Writing code doesn't mean you're building value. Launching a feature doesn't mean it's needed. These illusions create technical debt and user frustration. Michael compares this to marketing tricks, such as offering gift cards to attract users instead of improving the site to keep them engaged. Solving the Right Problem in Software Projects A quote from Einstein sets the tone: “If I had an hour to solve a problem, I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem.” Rob and Michael emphasize the importance of understanding before acting. Too many developers rush to fix bugs without asking: What's broken? What does the user expect? Michael draws on insights from Dan Heath's "Upstream" to emphasize the importance of preventing issues, rather than just reacting to them. Effective developers think ahead and solve problems at the source—not just in the code, but in the system design and user flow. Avoid Quick Fixes When Solving Problems in Software Projects Rob warns against “band-aid fixes”—temporary solutions, such as increasing timeouts or adding unnecessary features. These surface-level patches don't address the core issue and often exacerbate the problem. Michael provides examples from the gaming world and enterprise software, highlighting instances where shipping buggy systems is done solely to meet a deadline, only to spend months patching them. Instead, they advocate for delivering a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that truly addresses user needs. Why Listening Solves More Than Writing Code Michael shares a powerful technique: shut up and let your customer talk. Developers often assume they understand the problem after hearing a few words. But real insights come from listening deeply and asking open-ended questions. Rob adds that great discovery comes from dialogue. Clients often reveal critical needs casually—things you'd never hear if you rushed through the requirements checklist. Strategic Planning vs Feature Bloat Planning is vital, but discipline is equally important. Michael recommends an early brainstorm to throw every idea on the table. Then, trim down ruthlessly to only what's needed for your MVP. Rob warns against premature optimization: spending hours adjusting colors and layout before functionality is in place. Significant development is about timing—doing the right work at the right stage. Final Thoughts on Solving Problems in Software Projects The episode concludes with a call to action: focus on outcomes, not output. Don't measure your value by lines of code or number of features. Measure it by the clarity, stability, and usefulness of the solution you deliver. Sometimes, the best move is to slow down, ask more questions, and think more deeply. Rushing to implement can lead to rework and frustration. Thoughtful, deliberate problem-solving builds better developers and better software.

This conversation delves into the critical question of how to determine if advertising efforts are effective. It explores the challenges of attribution in marketing, especially in a post-pandemic landscape, and emphasizes the importance of measuring conversion metrics. The discussion provides actionable insights on analyzing ad performance indicators, including click-through rates, cost per click, and creative effectiveness, ultimately framing ads as amplifiers of business success or failure.     Takeaways If you're overseeing marketing, knowing if ads work is crucial. Attribution in advertising has become increasingly complex. Testing and measuring ads requires looking for specific indicators. Start by working backwards from the desired outcome. Measuring conversions optimized for leads is essential. Click-through rates indicate ad relevance and audience targeting. Creative quality is vital in a competitive advertising landscape. Cost per click should be within a reasonable range. Ad placements can significantly affect performance metrics. Ads amplify the success or failure of your business offerings.

University of Oxford project selected for EIT Health's Deep Tech Venture Builder to tackle pain in children The University of Oxford's PINCH project joins EIT Health's Deep Tech Venture Builder programme to transform pain management in young children. EIT Health Ireland-UK, a Co-Location Centre of EIT Health, part of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a body of the European Union, today announced that the University of Oxford's PINCH project has been selected as one of 17 projects to join the Deep Tech Venture Builder (DTVB) programme. EIT Health is Europe's largest health innovation network, comprising over 100 member organisations across business, research, education, government, and healthcare delivery, working collaboratively to tackle Europe's greatest health challenges through innovation and technology. New tool to measure pain in infants Designed to help academic teams bring deep tech innovations to market, EIT Health's Deep Tech Venture Builder (DTVB) offers targeted support to overcome the biggest obstacles faced at this critical stage. Often referred to as the "Valley of Death," this phase is where many promising research ideas struggle to survive due to challenges like bureaucratic hurdles, lack of funding, and the difficult leap from lab-based research to real-world application. Graham Armitage, Managing Director, EIT Health Ireland-UK, said, "The PINCH project represents the kind of high-impact innovation we aim to support through EIT Health. By bridging the gap between academic research and real-world application, we are enabling ground-breaking technologies to reach the patients who need them most." The University of Oxford's PINCH project, led by Professor Rebeccah Slater, is addressing a long-standing gap in paediatric care by developing a clinical tool that interprets brain and heart signals to objectively measure pain in infants, going beyond the traditional reliance on facial expressions or crying, which can often result in under- or over-treatment. "It is a privilege to be supported by EIT Health's Deep Tech Venture Builder programme, and great to have the opportunity to accelerate development of our technology so it can be used to measure pain in young hospitalised children," said Prof Rebeccah Slater, Professor of Paediatric Neuroimaging, University of Oxford. Every day, countless children experience pain in hospital settings, yet many receive inadequate treatment due to the limitations of current assessment tools. PINCH, in collaboration with Ship2B Ventures, will now benefit from the tailored support of EIT Health's Deep Tech Venture Builder (DTVB) programme, gaining access to expert mentorship and leading innovation networks "This project unites three essential pillars to bring deep tech solutions to market: world-class science from Oxford, strategic venture building led by Ship2B Ventures through the Montana Children's Health initiative, and the robust ecosystem support of EIT Health. Together, we are shaping a transformative future for paediatric care," Pilar Puig Sàrries, Venture Partner, Montana Children's Health (Ship2B Ventures) The PINCH project is a part of EIT Health's broader mission to support deep tech ventures across Europe and help transform the future of healthcare. With over 2,998 start-ups supported to date and more than 140,000 citizens and patients directly impacted by its programmes in 2023, EIT Health continues to play a central role in Europe's health innovation landscape. Discover more about the Deep Tech Venture Builder and the selected projects here. ABOUT EIT HEALTH EIT Health is a network of best-in-class health innovators with approximately 120 partners and is supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a body of the European Union. We collaborate across borders to deliver new solutions that can enable European citizens to live longer, healthier lives. As Europeans tackle the challenge of increasing chronic diseases and...

So how do we reconnect with trees to stop using them for toilet paper?How do we learn more about why they're suffering and in some unexpected places surviving to know them, to care for them, and maybe even know ourselves a little bit better along the way?My guest today is Marguerite Holloway.Marguerite is the author of the wonderful new book Take To The Trees: A Story of Hope, Science, and Self-Discovery in America's Imperiled Forests.

In 2016 the United States was stunned by evidence of Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential election. But it shouldn't have been. Subversion—domestic interference to undermine or manipulate a rival—is as old as statecraft itself. In A Measure Short of War: A Brief History of Great Power Subversion (Oxford UP, 2025) Jill Kastner and William C. Wohlforth provide a compelling ride through the history of subversion. They examine subversion's allure, its operational possibilities, and argue that, in our high stakes, changing technological landscape, a clear-eyed understanding of the history and parameters of subversion can help polities defend against it. Jill Kastner is a scholar in the Department of War Studies at Kings College London. She has a doctorate in History from Harvard University. She specializes in Cold War crises in Berlin and the Middle East. Her work has appeared in The Nation and Foreign Affairs. William C Wohlforth is the Daniel Webster Professor of Government at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH. His most recent books are America Abroad: The United States' Global Role in the 21st Century (2018), Written with Stephen G Brooks, and The History of International Relations and Russian Foreign Policy in the 20th century (2020), co edited with Anatoly V.

Our guest on this week's episode is Michael Needham, principal procurement & supply chain at Efficio Consulting. Among the flurry of executive orders issued recently by the White House is one aimed at restoring pharmaceutical manufacturing capabilities here in the U.S. Currently most drugs and ingredients are manufactured in China and India. How will such a move affect supply chains? Our guest offers his views on what can be manufactured here easily and what could be more difficult.Measuring the health of our supply chains, the Logistics Manager's Index came out on Tuesday, showing an expansion in logistics activity in May. Logistics expanded for the second straight month, marked by a mix of slowing inventory levels and rising costs across the board, researchers said. We look at the specific numbers and what they mean.This week we saw a study on workplace injuries. This report came from the Travelers Companies. It found that the number of workplace injuries overall continues to decline, although the costs associated with them are climbing. We dive into some of the details of the report and how emphasizing safety can affect the workplace. Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Stay tuned to the end of the episode for a policy update on the bill containing Medicaid cuts that is making its way through Congress, and the recent MAHA Commission Report. If you were to ask any healthcare leader what the top challenges in our industry are, it's a fair bet that “improving patient access to care” would be on the list. There have been so many investments made in the industry to improve access—especially since the Covid-19 pandemic. With this level of investment, we should be moving the needle. But the data shows that access is not getting better, and in some cases, it's getting worse. This week, Advisory Board physician and medical group expert Mahaya Walker joins host Abby Burns to unpack why, and what medical groups can do about it. They break down Advisory Board research findings around how a narrow focus on improving appointment availability may actually be hurting efforts to improve access, and how medical groups can move the needle on access by putting clinicians closer to the center of their access strategies.

Think your heart rate tells the whole story of your workout? Think again. In this episode, Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher unpack the myths around heart rate tracking, explaining why it's not the best measure of workout effectiveness — and what you should focus on instead. From hunger hormones to interval training tips, you'll walk away with a smarter approach to training that actually supports your fitness goals. Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher look at heart rate, what it actually means and whether it's meaningful or not when it comes to the effectiveness of your workout. With heart rates, we're looking at how we can move oxygen around the body – all the way where the oxygen is transferred into muscle cells and our active muscle. Dr. Fisher explains that as soon as we move into the higher end of our heart rate, we're in the carbohydrate burning zone. When we do strength or interval training, our ghrelin – the hormone responsible for the feeling of hunger – doesn't go up, so we don't have a hunger response. When we do moderate or low-intensity steady state exercise – and we stay below a certain heart rate zone, we get a spike of the ghrelin hormone. Remember: your heart rate is NOT indicative of the quality of your workout. Dr. Fisher touches upon EPOC (Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen) and explains what it is and when it may occur. Amy and Dr. Fisher discuss interval training and why it's something you should consider doing if you've ever got the chance. Something to be cautious about with interval training: If we're doing it based on heart rate, it typically takes our body a certain amount of time for the heart rate to respond. This means that the interval has to be long enough to be effective. Next, Dr. Fisher and Amy unpack the concept of resting heart rate and what it means for you in relation to your training. As you may be busy looking into your heart rate, just remember that it gets influenced by external factors such as caffeine, stress, dehydration, illness, and lack of sleep. A good reminder by Dr. Fisher: When we first start tracking anything, we've got to remember that it's just a snapshot. If data is your thing, it's important that you recognize that once you have long-term data, you can start to see trends. Dr. Fisher's take is to “look at heart rate after the fact (e.g. the workout), not looking at it during the event.” When you're thinking about your workouts wondering whether they're working, Amy suggests asking yourself WHY are you exercising? Think about what your goals are with exercising and whether those are happening.   Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money. My guest on today's show is Dr. Mike Satryan, OD, a partner with Mountain View Eye in Altoona, PA.   Mike is a long-time practice owner who brings over 25 years of experience running an in-house optical lab within their practice. We dive into the substantial cost savings his practice has realized by finishing lenses on-site and how that margin improvement supports a compensation model tied to gross revenue growth. We explore how having an in-house lab not only boosts profitability but also enhances second-pair and annual contact lens supply conversions, thanks in part to a more efficient optical experience. He also shares his buying criteria when evaluating edgers, what ultimately influenced his choice of supplier, and whether the edger is patient-facing or kept behind the scenes. Whether you're a solo OD or managing a multi-doctor practice, this conversation offers valuable insight into the operational and financial upside of bringing lens finishing in-house.   As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today's conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center.
