Tara dives deep into Donald Trump's bold suspension of all student visas and the uproar it's causing—especially from the left. But what's really behind the move? She and her co-host unpack a disturbing trend of radical foreign students using U.S. campuses not for education, but as breeding grounds for anti-American, anti-Semitic extremism—with ties to Hamas and Iran. From unearthed audio of campus organizers openly calling for the dismantling of the United States to John Kirby's casual admission that Iran is funding violent protests in our streets, Tara connects the dots that mainstream media won't. Plus, she exposes how elite universities like Harvard are refusing to cooperate with terror screenings and relying heavily on full-tuition-paying foreign students—at the expense of qualified Americans. Representative Nancy Mace joins the chorus, warning of a leftist “culture of violence” and calling for expulsions from Congress for those inciting it. You won't want to miss this takedown of dangerous ideologies, academic hypocrisy, and the fight to save America's national security—on campus and beyond.

Interview withNick Earner, MD of Alkane ResourcesFrazer Bourchier, President & CEO of Mandalay ResourcesRecording date: 19th May 2025Alkane Resources (ASX:ALK) and Mandalay Resources (TSX:MND) have announced a strategic "merger of equals" that will create a significant mid-tier gold producer. The all-share transaction values Mandalay at A$559.1 million ($357.8 million), with Mandalay shareholders receiving 55% ownership of the combined entity and Alkane shareholders retaining 45%.The merged company will operate under the Alkane Resources name, trading on both the ASX and TSX exchanges. It will maintain a diversified portfolio of three producing mines - Tomingley (Australia), Costerfield (Australia), and Björkdal (Sweden) - with an anticipated annual production of 160,000-180,000 gold equivalent ounces.Financial projections for the combined entity are robust, including over $100 million USD in cash, zero debt, and approximately $200 million USD in annual free cash flow. This represents a cash flow multiple of approximately 3:1, compared to the industry standard of 4-5x EBITDA."This company will have over $100 million US in net cash positive with no debt," noted Frazer Bourchier, President and CEO of Mandalay Resources, highlighting the strong financial foundation of the merger.A key strategic rationale for the combination is achieving "capital relevance" through a pro-forma market capitalization of approximately $650 million USD. This scale should qualify the company for inclusion in both the ASX 300 index and the GDXJ (VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF), potentially attracting institutional investors previously unable to invest due to size limitations.The merger has received unanimous board approval from both companies and secured voting support agreements from key shareholders. Shareholder votes are expected in June 2025, with transaction closing anticipated by August 2025.The combined entity will pursue a disciplined capital allocation strategy focused on organic exploration, M&A opportunities, and potential shareholder returns, operating with a philosophy of empowered site-level leadership and minimal corporate oversight.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

A few months back, I was grabbing dinner with my friend Mark Fogel, and in the middle of our conversation about this very podcast, he leaned in and said, “You have to interview James Sarvis.”So I did.James is the kind of person who's built a career of commitment. He started at Delta Air Lines over 50 years ago — yes, five-zero — starting at the very bottom: cleaning bathrooms. Today, he's the VP of Global Cleanliness. But his story goes way beyond job titles.Over the years, James has held just about every position short of flying the plane: from leading airport customer service across 220 airports, to overseeing 24,000 flight attendants, to helping shape Delta's global partnerships. He's been through wars, recessions, a pandemic, mergers, even a hostile takeover attempt — and through it all, he's stayed grounded by one thing: a deep sense of purpose and loyalty.We talked about legacy, leadership, mentorship, being an 18-year-old college dropout, surviving a plane crash with his family, and why — even after five decades — he's still not done.You can find James Sarvis at:  LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-sarvis-7183592/Email: james.a.sarvis@delta.comOur interview was recorded live at Delta Air Lines global headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia: www.delta.comSpecial thanks to Whitney Li for her production assistance!Click to text Bruce now!About Bruce Smith: Over the past 40 years, I've covered a lot of ground in my career: white collar, blue collar, college drop-out, college graduate, practicing CPA, multiple business owner, elected official, recruiter and career consultant.

Send us a textOn today's show is Paul Dionne, chief strategy officer at Quantum Governance, L3C.  What's an L3C?  Good question: It's a low profit limited liability company and, in the case of Quantum Governance, that means it “help[s]  nonprofits, credit unions, associations and foundations realize the full potential of their missions.”The company's work with credit unions revolves around governance - especially issues involving the board and organizational leadership - and strategic planning.That's why a key focus of this discussion is a credit union board's fiduciary responsibility especially in the case of a merger.  When a merger is on the table, a board member's responsibility is to make decisions that are in the best interest of the membership, said Dionne.What's that mean?  How can a board member go off course?  In the show Dionne, who worked at Filene before joining Quantum Governance, tells the good, the bad and the ugly.Listen up.Like what you are hearing?

Charter Communications has announced its acquisition of Cox Communications for $34.5 billion, a significant move that will merge two of the largest internet service providers in the United States. This merger is expected to require approval from the Federal Communications Commission due to Cox's critical operational licenses. The combined entity plans to adopt the Cox Communications name, with Spectrum serving as the consumer-facing brand in areas previously served by Cox. This merger could potentially impact service quality for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) that rely on Cox as their provider, especially during the integration phase.In another major development, Proofpoint has revealed its plans to acquire Hornet Security for $1 billion, aiming to enhance its cybersecurity offerings and expand its presence in the cloud security market. Hornet Security specializes in Microsoft 365 solutions and has shown impressive growth, reporting over $160 million in annual recurring revenue. This acquisition may alienate Hornet Security's managed service provider (MSP) partners if there are changes in pricing, support models, or access to services, creating an opportunity for competitors to attract disaffected partners.Arm is rebranding its system-on-a-chip product designs to focus on power savings for artificial intelligence workloads, targeting sectors like automotive and cloud computing. The company reported a significant revenue increase, driven by licensing and royalty revenue. Meanwhile, Box is enhancing its collaboration with Microsoft by introducing an AI agent that integrates with Microsoft 365 Copilot, allowing users to analyze documents and automate tasks more efficiently. These moves reflect the industry's shift towards AI integration and the importance of aligning with existing platforms to deliver value.Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has introduced updates to its Morpheus software and VM Essentials offerings, promising substantial cost savings for businesses in the virtualization market. HPE's new pricing model, based on server sockets rather than cores, aims to provide significant financial advantages, especially as VMware faces scrutiny over its pricing strategies. Additionally, the podcast discusses the challenges posed by shadow AI and the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, emphasizing the need for governance and transparency as organizations increasingly adopt AI tools without formal approval. The episode concludes with a reflection on the implications of AI in education, highlighting the growing use of AI tools by professors and the concerns raised by students regarding the authenticity of their learning experience.  Four things to know today  00:00 Charter-Cox Merger and Proofpoint's $1B Hornet Deal Signal New Era of Scale and Specialization in Tech Services 03:38 From Chips to Content: Arm and Box Shift Strategies to Embed AI Across Cloud, Automotive, and Microsoft 365  05:39 HPE Launches Morpheus and VM Essentials Updates With Up to 90% Savings Over VMware Licensing  07:45 Shadow AI, Specialized Models, and Student Backlash: The Growing Pains of Enterprise AI Adoption   Supported by:  https://mspradio.com/engage/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Ein wahrer "Mega Merger" steht in auf dem Tableau zwischen Charter und Cox, mit einem Volumen von 34,5 Mrd. US $. Die Aktie von Charter Communications legt deutlich zu. Das Portfolio und die Transaktionen von Berkshire Hathaway wurde wieder einmal offengelegt laut SEC Regularien und ich werfe einen Blick darauf. Zahlen von Applied Material sorgen genauso für Bewegung wie für das Schmuckunternehmen Richmont, dessen Aktien deutlich zulegen können. Die Märkte bleiben im Aufwind! Nach vier Tagen Rally legen die US-Aktienfutures am Freitag weiter zu – dank vorübergehender Zollpause zwischen den USA und China und schwacher Inflationsdaten. Der S&P 500 ist seit Wochenbeginn um 4,5 % gestiegen, der Nasdaq sogar über 6 % – Tech lässt grüßen! Der Erzeugerpreisindex (PPI) fiel im April um 0,5 %, was den Inflationsdruck weiter entschärft. Auch der Verbraucherpreisindex (CPI) lag mit 2,3 % auf dem niedrigsten Stand seit Februar 2021. Doch nicht alles glänzt: Walmart warnte vor steigenden Preisen durch Zölle ab Ende Mai – erste Risse im Optimismus? Noch ignorieren die Märkte das weitgehend, aber laut Analystin Callie Cox könnten sich darunter „Spannungen aufbauen“. Diesen Freitag läuft ein Optionsvolumen von 2,8 Billionen Dollar aus – das größte jemals im Mai. Das könnte die Wall Street nochmal ordentlich durchschütteln.

You don't see a lot of mergers in the Christian ministry space, but one recent merger caught our eye here at MinistryWatch. That merger was between CareNet and ICU Mobile. We thought it would be good to have Roland Warren back on the program to explain why and how this merger occurred. Regular listeners to the program will remember that we had Roland on the show last year to discuss his book The Alternative to Abortion: Why We Must Be Pro Abundant Life. I'll have a link to that program in today's show notes. But for those who missed that program, or who have forgotten, Roland Warren has been the president of Care Net, the nation's largest network of pregnancy resource centers, for more than a decade. He's been an advocate for the unborn for much longer than that. Roland Warren has also helped bring fathers into the pro-life conversation, in part because of a tenure as president of the National Fatherhood Initiative, a post he held before coming to Care Net. I've interviewed Roland Warren many times over the years, including twice for my “Listening In” podcast, a podcast I did for a decade for WORLD News Group. I'll include links to those interviews in today's show notes. Those links are here and here. Today, though, we focus on the merger with CareNet and ICU Mobile because it's an example of what I think more ministries should consider, and that is a strategic merger with other like-minded organizations. I think Roland has some interesting insights regarding the why and how to make such mergers possible. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. I'm your host Warren Smith. Until next time, may God bless you.

On this episode of The Insightful Leader: when Fuyao Glass opened a U.S. factory, it underestimated the importance of translating company culture.

In this episode, Alan Condon, Editor-in-Chief at Becker's Healthcare, shares insights into growing financial strain on hospitals nationwide, from delayed Medicaid payments in 10 states, to the collapse of the OHSU-Legacy Health merger, and new cost-cutting mandates targeting high-cost hospitals in California.

 On Monday, Oregon Health and Science University and Legacy Health announced they are mutually walking away from an effort to combine the two healthcare organizations. The merger was first announced last August, when OHSU agreed to acquire 8 hospitals, $3 billion in assets and promised a whopping $1 billion in upgrades to Legacy facilities. The merger garnered scrutiny from a citizen review committee and public comments have reflected opposition to the deal. Amelia Templeton is OPB’s Healthcare reporter and has been following this story. She joins with the latest.

How can you not have Minnesota Timberwolves fever, especially on the precipice of a showdown full of stars, storylines, and bad blood between the Wolves and Golden State Warriors?Jimmy Butler — whose belligerence and self-engineered exit eventually sunk the squad into the abyss — returns to face unruly Target Center fans, not to mention the superstar who has lifted the Wolves from that abyss, Anthony Edwards.Steph Curry — a Hall-of-Famer who has spearheaded four NBA titles in the Bay Area while the Wolves have mostly wallowed in misery — returns to face the team that passed him over twice in the 2009 Draft. Then, there's the Big Man Battle Royale with Rudy Goebert and Draymond Green, who choked Goebert in a game last year and trash-talked him from his pulpit on the TNT set. To add to the spice: ANT said publicly before the season started he couldn't wait to face the Warriors in the playoffs because Green "talks so much trash." John Gaskins and Matt Zimmer carve into the carnival to lead off this week's "Nobody's Listening Anyway" from Gateway Lounge, then take a stab at what to make of the tepid but not terrible Minnesota Twins. How much life will the returning-from-injury Royce Lewis give them? The latest heroics of Byron Buxton lead to this discussion:Is Buxton the most electrifying Twins player of all time? Does he belong on the Mount Rushmore of Most Electrifying Minnesota Pro Sports Athletes of the last 30 years? Which Wolves and Vikings players make that cut?Closer to home, what is there to make of the recently-announced partnership between the Summit League and Missouri Valley Conference, with the commissioner of the latter league taking over as commissioner of the Missouri Valley Football Conference and Summit League leader Josh Fenton being tabbed "Executive Advisor" in the MVFC?Finally, South Dakota State's 2025 season opening football opponent has an even more turned-over roster than the Jackrabbits, and the Augusta baseball and softball teams are heating up as the calendar flips to May. Why have the Vikings been so consistently successful in those diamond sports for over a decade? 

Paramount is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Big Boss Shari Redstone reportedly told '60 Minutes' to stay away from negative Trump stories to close the Skydance deal, and now they're rage quitting and trying to take Paramount down in the process.

In this version of the OU Insider Live stream, Parker Thune and Brandon Drumm dive into the latest from the transfer portal, including the news that Oklahoma has signed transfer WR Jer'Michael Carter from McNeese, and dish on other rumblings from the portal.

The Redstone family is a controlling shareholder of Paramount Global — one of the biggest entertainment companies out there. (Think CBS Entertainment, MTV, Nickelodeon.) The family is also one of the inspirations for HBO's Succession, which makes sense the more you get to know them. Shari Redstone currently has the controlling stake in Paramount Global. Company leadership was carefully criticized in a recent on-air "rebuke" by 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley, who said the show was receiving new kinds of oversight amid the Trump presidency. The drama has unfolded as Redstone seeks FCC approval for a lucrative merger, and the Trump administration is suing Paramount Global for billions of dollars. This week we revisit Redstone's backstory by re-airing a conversation with Rachel Abrams, a senior producer and reporter for The New York Times Presents, and the co-author with James B.

Cloud Connections 2025 Podcast Interview with Peter Eisengrein, SVP of Service, Delivery & Operations at XTIUM ST. PETERSBURG, FL - A new managed services powerhouse has emerged. Speaking with Technology Reseller News at Cloud Connections 2025, Peter Eisengrein, Senior Vice President of Service, Delivery & Operations, introduced XTIUM—a new brand created from the merger of Evolve IP's MSP business with ATSG. “XTIUM is a fresh brand built from two strong companies,” said Eisengrein. “We've taken everything Evolve IP was known for—managed cloud, UCaaS, CCaaS, DaaS—and added a full suite of managed network, managed security, and managed operations services.” The merger, announced just weeks earlier at Channel Partners, significantly expands the portfolio available to XTIUM's channel partners. Of particular interest to the channel: Managed Detection and Response (MDR) security services, enterprise help desk outsourcing, and the ability to deliver turnkey network management alongside voice and compute. “We're hearing a lot of excitement around security and network services,” said Eisengrein. “It's what customers are asking for—and what the channel didn't always associate with us before.” At the conference, Eisengrein also joined two merger-focused sessions to share lessons from XTIUM's own experience. His message? M&A success takes time, careful planning, and clean financials. “You can't rush it. Lenders move at their own pace, and you need to be prepared—especially when it comes to audited books and integration plans.” For partners, the opportunity lies in XTIUM's ability to meet customers where they are. “Most buyers are only in market for one service at a time,” said Eisengrein. “The key for channel partners is being able to pivot. If it's not UC today, maybe it's security, or help desk, or compute. Now, we can support all of it.” XTIUM positions itself as a white-glove, customer-centric provider that integrates with, rather than displaces, enterprise IT. “We don't just offer services,” said Eisengrein. “We solve problems. That's our mission.” Learn more at: www.xtium.com

Marc welcomes State Rep. Brad Christ from District 96 to weigh in on the renewed push for a St. Louis city-county merger. Christ explains why the current plan, backed by Democrat Ian Mackey, is dead on arrival in his committee—and why statewide votes shouldn't decide local issues. He shares concerns about progressive city influence overtaking the county, the need for smart regional collaboration (not forced mergers), and gives an update on his major crime legislation and other session priorities including Prop A and cutting the income tax.

Marc & Kim welcome State Rep. Brad Christ, who slams the renewed city-county merger plan as a nonstarter and warns against progressive St. Louis influence shaping county policy. Former Senator Jim Talent joins to blast Sen. Van Hollen's El Salvador trip as empty grandstanding, while calling for a return to tough Trump-era immigration enforcement. David Stokes from the Show-Me Institute unpacks Missouri's fragile municipal tax system, arguing for a smarter mix of revenue sources to stabilize local budgets. Griff Jenkins delivers a powerful breakdown of Rachel Morin's mother's testimony, media double standards, and the Democrats' baffling defense of violent illegal immigrants.

Marc & Kim deliver a no-holds-barred Thursday on the Marc Cox Morning Show. Marc opens by torching Fed Chair Jerome Powell over reckless inflation talk and rails against sky-high property tax assessments hammering St. Louis homeowners. State Rep. Brad Christ joins to reject the revived “Better Together” city-county merger, while David Stokes breaks down Missouri's outdated tax structure. Kim on a Whim targets SNL's woke retreat and the hidden DEI rebrand by Big Tech. Marc celebrates UK courts defining “woman” biologically, while Anthony Russo exposes Biden's tax swap deception. Jim Talent and Griff Jenkins slam the political stunt of Sen. Van Hollen's El Salvador trip while a grieving mother pleads for justice. Shannon Bream weighs in on Title IX lawsuits, DOJ corruption, and media bias. Plus: Cardinals and Blues playoff buzz with @Ackerman1120, Bonnaroo lineup drops, and Taylor Lorenz defends a killer. It's media hypocrisy, open border disasters, and generational tension—all in one firestorm of a show.

The ever-evolving nature of the U.S. administration's trade policy has triggered market uncertainty, impacting corporate and consumer confidence. But our Head of Corporate Credit Research Andrew Sheets explains why he believes this volatility could present a silver lining for credit investors.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley. ----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Head of Corporate Credit Research at Morgan Stanley. Today I'm going to talk about how high uncertainty can be a risk for credit, and also an opportunity.It's Wednesday, April 16th at 9am in New York.Markets year-to-date have been dominated by questions of U.S. trade policy. At the center of this debate is a puzzle: What, exactly, the goal of this policy is?Currently, there are two competing theories of what the U.S. administration is trying to achieve. In one, aggressive tariffs are a negotiating tactic, an aggressive opening move designed to be bargained down into something much, much lower for an ultimate deal.And in the other interpretation, aggressive tariffs are a new industrial policy. Large tariffs, for a long period of time, are necessary to encourage manufacturers to relocate operations to the U.S. over the long term.Both of these theories are plausible. Both have been discussed by senior U.S. administration officials. But they are also mutually exclusive. They can't both prevail.The uncertainty of which of these camps wins out is not new. Market strength back in early February could be linked to optimism that tariffs would be more of that first negotiating tool. Weakness in March and April was linked to signs that they would be more permanent. And the more recent bounce, including an almost 10 percent one-day rally last week, were linked to hopes that the pendulum was once again swinging back.This back and forth is uncertain. But in some sense, it gives investors a rubric: signs of more aggressive tariffs would be more challenging to the market, signs of more flexibility more positive. But is it that simple? Do signs of a more lasting tariff pause solve the story?The important question, we think, is whether all of that back and forth has done lasting damage to corporate and consumer confidence. Even if all of the tariffs were paused, would companies and consumers believe it? Would they be willing to invest and spend over the coming quarters at similar levels to before – given all of the recent volatility?This question is more than hypothetical. Across a wide range of surveys, the so-called soft data, U.S. corporate and consumer confidence has plunged. Merger activity has slowed sharply. We expect intense investor focus on these measures of confidence over the coming months.For credit, lower confidence is a doubled edged sword. To some extent, it is good, keeping companies more conservative and better able to service their debt. But if it weakens the overall economy – and historically, weaker confidence surveys like we've seen recently have indicated much weaker growth in the future; that's a risk. With overall spread levels about average, we do not see valuations as clearly attractive enough to be outright positive, yet.But maybe there is one silver lining. Long term Investment grade corporate debt now yields over 6 percent. As corporate confidence has soured, and these yields have risen, we think companies will find it unattractive to lock in high costs for long-term borrowing. Fewer bonds for sale, and attractive all-in yields for investors could help this part of the market outperform, in our view.Thanks for listening.

Bio Moiz Doriwala is a seasoned professional with a diverse background spanning real estate finance, investment, and entrepreneurship .... Growing up in Naperville, Illinois, his interest in real estate was sparked by his father's career as a general contractor and developer. He pursued higher education, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from the University of Chicago and an MBA in Finance and Management and Strategy from Northwestern University's Kellogg Graduate School of Management. His early career began in the finance sector with a unique rotational program at Bank One (later JP Morgan Chase), where he gained experience in asset-backed securities trading, commercial loan workouts, leveraged leasing, and even worked in a strategic group under Jamie Dimon. He further honed his investment banking skills in the Financial Sponsor Group of J.P. Morgan Securities in New York, focusing on M&A transactions and various financing activities. In 2005, Mr. Doriwala transitioned to the real estate industry, joining S&R Land Development, LLC in Reston, VA, where he was involved in the development of residential and commercial land. Leveraging his financial acumen and real estate exposure, he later became Vice President of Perseus Realty Capital, LLC, specializing in joint venture equity, preferred equity, and mezzanine financings. In 2008, Mr. Doriwala formed his own umbrella company, Stirling Realty Advisors, LLC, a boutique real estate investment bank that provides financial advisory services, primarily focusing on raising debt and equity capital for real estate developers and operators nationwide. While initially focused on capital raising, Stirling has evolved into a vehicle for his various investment activities. Under the Stirling umbrella, Mr. Doriwala manages and invests in several businesses, including: Bookhill Park: An entity that manages a series of small funds and operates as a finance company, providing opportunistic lending across various industries and geographies Investments in mental health and behavioral health businesses Investments in one off LPs in apartment projects His role as President of Superior Living Foundation Inc., a 501c3 non-profit focused on owning businesses in the healthcare region, such as senior housing and behavioral health facilities1 .... Mr. Doriwala also has experience in the senior housing sector, having served as Treasurer for Meridian Senior Living .... Additionally, he was involved in the mobile home park business for a number of years through BHP, building and eventually exiting a portfolio of parks.

[1:13:00] Time management strategies: Making lists, prioritizing, managing multiple transactions, relying on mental organization, and detailed calendar use. [1:14:20] Financial management: Working with an accountant and using QuickBooks for many entities. [1:15:15] Lean administrative structure. [1:16:00] Personal management of investor payouts for Bookhill Park. [1:16:30] Utilizing technology for tracking investments (example of Colin's investor portal) and the recommendation to invest in such technology. [1:17:00] Limited personal exploration of AI but an interest in future use. [1:17:30] Use of a wealth management firm with strong technology to track personal and investment financials. [1:17:45] Effectively having a "family office" through their wealth management firm's tracking capabilities. [1:18:30] Ensuring his wife knows the location of important financial information. [1:19:00] Challenging trends and unique opportunities in investments and capital markets today: Uncertainty due to government changes, tariffs, and financial market fluctuations. Lending still tough, potential impact of rising unemployment on real estate. Possible positive impact on office sector. [1:20:30] Trends in the senior housing business: Demographic upside ("silver tsunami") but challenges with increasing labor, food, and supply costs not yet matched by rent increases. Impact of stock market and interest rates on affordability. Financing and construction costs remain high. [1:22:00] Dynamics in the skilled nursing space: Reliance on Medicaid with capped payments and potential cuts creating nervousness. [1:23:15] Growth potential in healthcare in general and the role of AI. [1:23:45] Growth potential in the energy business, including passive energy. [1:24:00] Concerns and questions surrounding the office sector: Return to office trends, occupancy rates, and the efficiency of operating buildings with hybrid work models. Impact on retail demand. [1:24:45] Approach to future investments: Remaining opportunistic and open-minded across various sectors, continuing high-quality lending and partnerships, and focusing on good real estate in prime locations. [1:26:00] The unique value of Moiz's diverse experience across institutional finance, small entrepreneurial groups, agency, and principal roles. [1:26:15] Accepting that not all ventures will succeed and the importance of learning from both successes and failures. [1:26:45] Most surprising lessons learned: No guarantees in business or life, and the critical importance of personally verifying key information rather than solely relying on team members or partners. [1:28:30] Advice to his 25-year-old self: Be curious, be patient, be a hustler, slow down (balance opportunism with thorough execution), and be passionate. [1:29:55] Priorities of family, work, and giving back: Family is paramount with a focus on spending time with his children. Strong emphasis on giving back in the education space, both domestically and internationally. [1:30:30] Supporting various educational organizations. [1:31:30] Final question: What would a billboard on the Capitol Beltway say? "Trust your gut." [1:32:00] Reflection on times when trusting his gut paid off and, more significantly, times when ignoring his gut led to negative outcomes. [1:32:20] Accepting missed opportunities without regret. [1:33:20] Thank you and closing remarks. Similar Episodes Brad Olsen Shekar Narasimhan Ken Bacon Willy Walker
