Send us Fan MailIn this fascinating episode, we sit down with renowned homeopath and author Ian Watson to explore his journey from practicing homeopathy to teaching The Three Principles, a transformative understanding of mental and emotional well-being.Ian Watson began studying homeopathy, herbs and flower essences as a teenager in the mid 1970's. He subsequently trained and graduated from the College of Homeopathy in London in 1988. He ran a busy group practice in Cumbria for many years and became established as a lecturer at various homeopathic schools in the UK and overseas. He co-founded The Lakeland College of Homeopathy in 1993 and was the college director until 2003. He wrote and published four books including A Guide to the Methodologies of Homeopathy and The Tao of Homeopathy.Ian has had a lifelong interest in personal transformation, and he studied and practiced a wide variety of psychological and emotional healing disciplines from 2002 onwards. In 2011 he was introduced to the Three Principles paradigm discovered by Sydney Banks which is revolutionizing the field of mental health; this simple understanding has been a foundational aspect of his work ever since.In 2013, Ian founded The Insight Space as a vehicle for his educational and training programs. Whilst no longer offering individual homeopathic consultations, Ian continues to support and mentor homeopathic students and practitioners in being more effective and learning how to practice with ease, enjoyment and confidence. Ian was particularly inspired in his homeopathic approach by his friend and teacher Dr. Robin Murphy. In this fascinating episode, Ian shares how years in clinical practice eventually led him to seek a deeper understanding of human suffering and healing. Through the work of Sydney Banks and The Three Principles, he discovered a new perspective: that our experience of life is created through thought, and that beneath our thinking lies an innate wisdom available to all of us.We also dive into:✨ Why the practitioner's presence may be just as important as the remedy✨ Reimagining miasms as opportunities for growth rather than inherited burdens✨ The cancer miasm and the journey toward authenticity and individuality✨ How flower essences elevate consciousness and complement homeopathy✨ Why healing often unfolds in spirals, revisiting familiar themes at deeper levels✨ The role of intuition and learning to trust your own inner guidance✨ Ian's transition away from professional homeopathy and what led him there✨ His upcoming book on mental health and why true mental health is so much more than the absence of illnessThis conversation bridges homeopathy, consciousness, emotional healing, and the power of human connection, offering a fresh perspective on what it really means to heal.Connect with Ian:www.theinsightspace.comwww.ianwatsondownloads.comSupport the showFind Heather:Book with HeatherHeather's Free Product Guide with Discount CodesHeather's Instagram Find Vanessa:Vanessa's Instagram Vanessa's Website Free Product Guide with Discount CodesFree Homeopathy at Home Guide

Platform vendors are transferring liability and delivery responsibility for AI services onto MSPs by building structured AI practice frameworks, training programs, and service delivery methodologies. This approach is motivated by mounting economic pressures on vendors, as seen with large-scale infrastructure investments and the need for sustainable revenue models. PAX8, Ingram Micro Cloud, ConnectWise, and others are formalizing AI partner programs that enroll MSPs to deliver vendor-defined services, while shifting operational complexity and accountability downstream. The episode highlights PAX8's Managed Intelligence initiative, aimed at helping small and midsize MSPs deliver AI services to SMB clients with minimal prior expertise. PAX8 cites its own research, which notes that 62% of SMBs view AI as essential for competitiveness and 74% plan to increase AI spending in the coming year. The economics of AI scaling are underscored by data on projected data center buildout costs—up to $15 trillion by 2030 and requiring $1.75 trillion annually just to maintain. OpenAI's public offering, with an $850 billion valuation and $180 billion in funding, is attributed to the need for capital that private markets can no longer supply, prompting vendors to leverage channel partners for both revenue generation and market validation. Supporting developments include expanded programs at the distribution and platform levels: a PAX8-Nocdoc partnership providing managed NOC/SOC services for smaller MSPs, Ingram Micro Cloud's collaboration with PartnerStack to formalize AI service delivery infrastructure, and ConnectWise's introduction of an AI-native platform for predictive and autonomous IT operations. Research from Omnia and the IBM Institute for Business Value indicates underutilization of vendor market development funds and widespread deployment of AI frameworks despite only 11% of tech leaders feeling prepared—demonstrating the gap between vendor offerings and operational readiness. The implications for MSPs are significant. By enrolling in these vendor-driven AI programs, providers take on delivery risk, contractual accountability, and potential liability for AI outcomes they did not design. The structural split is clear: MSPs can either create and govern their own AI methodologies—pricing accountability as a service—or become vehicles for vendor frameworks, absorbing complexity without full compensation or control. Practical recommendations include updating service agreements for AI-related risks, building internal governance around AI deployments, and not allowing vendor or community consensus to substitute for explicit accountability for outcomes. 00:00 Channel AI Shift 03:59 Enrollment, Not Enablement 06:55 Methodology vs. Liability 10:01 Why Do We Care?

Rebecca Hinds, author of "Your Best Meeting Ever" and Head of the Work AI Institute at Glean, breaks down the surprising findings from the new Work AI Index 2026 report surveying 6,000 workers. While 87% now use AI and report saving 13 hours per week, only 13% say their organization is performing significantly better—a paradox explained by two new concepts: "botsitting" (the hidden labor of making AI useful) and "botshitting" (delivering AI-generated work you can't defend). They discuss practical solutions including better-integrated AI systems, smarter AI detection policies, and aligning work to meaningful missions.

Key account management is more than a sales tactic — it is an organization-wide growth strategy that prioritizes deeper, value-driven relationships with your most important customers. On this episode of the podcast, Joel Schaafsma joins me to dig into the nuances that differentiate key accounts from regular accounts, why organizations struggle with defining them, and the organizational investment and ROI linked to strategic account management. Joel is a strategic account management and customer experience expert known for driving organizational growth and building frameworks that translate customer insights into better business decisions. He shares his experience on evolving from vendor relationships to trusted advisor status, the common mistakes made when transitioning from sales to account management, and the critical importance of aligning your business strategy with your customers' objectives. Outline of This Episode [00:00] Key account strategy overview [05:34] Building customer alignment [07:43] Stakeholder mapping for alignment [11:17] Key account management basics [13:37] Collaborating on customer-focused strategies [16:34] Key strategies and common pitfalls [21:31] Building a hospital partnership program Building a Key Account Strategy That Aligns With Customer Goals You build a winning key account strategy by aligning your business completely with your customers', integrating at multiple organizational levels. By orchestrating input from all stakeholders, not just the primary point of contact, account managers can spot trends, proactively address issues, and introduce co-creation opportunities that serve both parties' goals. Leveraging Stakeholder Mapping and Executive Sponsorship Deep alignment is only possible with clear stakeholder mapping. This goes beyond knowing names on an org chart, it's about understanding influence, needs, and potential advocates across both organizations, which equips you to withstand changes such as leadership turnover and evolving expectations. Joel emphasizes the role of an executive sponsor program: connecting your senior leaders with theirs builds credibility, opens doors for value-driven dialogue, and quickly removes barriers when action is needed. Tools, Technology, and Methodologies for Success The right foundation combines methodology, technology, and innovation. Joel recommends: A Distinct Strategic Account Management Methodology: This should include value co-creation and regular outcome validation, which differs from traditional sales playbooks. Enabling Technology: Use tools that collect and synthesize data from all touchpoints within both organizations, moving beyond spreadsheets to foster true alignment and prioritization. AI Integration: Those who ignore AI risk falling dangerously behind as it rapidly reshapes the landscape of business intelligence and process automation. Making the Key Account Plan a Living Strategy Joel details that effective plans are co-created with customers, regularly revisited, and focused on mutual priorities. Simple, actionable documentation, combined with technology for prioritization and measurement, transforms the plan from a once-a-year formality into a working blueprint for partnership. When confronted with real-life challenges such as price competition, don't just look for cost savings. Take a step back, engage a wider range of stakeholders, and solve bigger problems. That strategic lens is at the heart of lasting success in key accounts.

Phil Anderson, Senior Lecturer at Northumbria University, joins the Forensic Focus Podcast to talk about the Forensic Focus International Well-Being Study. Phil and host Paul Gullon-Scott unpack the findings from a survey of 179 digital forensic investigators across the UK, US, Australia, Canada, Germany, South Africa, India, and beyond. The study used validated psychometric instruments to put hard numbers behind what the profession has been hearing anecdotally for years. Paul and Phil dig into the emerging impact of AI-generated CSAM, where 60% of respondents reported finding it slightly more distressing than real material — and where victim identification is beginning to break down as the realism of generated imagery improves. They also examine the most clinically significant finding in the study: 20% of digital forensic investigators reported active suicidal or self-harm ideation at a clinically significant frequency, roughly four times the general population rate. Set against 61% of respondents lacking access to good-quality support services, alongside hypervigilance, sleep disturbance, retention risk, and physical health symptoms, the picture is one Forensic Focus is taking directly to the UK Home Office. #DigitalForensics #DFIR #MentalHealth #InvestigatorWellbeing #CSAM #AIGeneratedCSAM #LawEnforcement 00:00 Welcome and Study Intro 00:38 Meet Phil and Motivation 03:23 Survey Scope and Global Reach 07:53 Who Responded and Why It Matters 09:38 Methodology and Validated Measures 11:38 Workload Pressures and AI Factor 15:21 Top Stressors and Management Levers 20:29 Burnout Risk and Retention Crisis 25:56 AI Generated CSAM Findings 31:36 AI Victim Misidentification 32:42 Investigator Stress Burden 33:27 Tech Outpacing Regulation 36:28 PTSD Symptom Findings 38:06 Judgment Under Trauma 40:14 Suicidal Ideation Data 45:16 Support Services Crisis 46:42 Physical Health Impacts 50:03 Report Next Steps
Some problem-solving wisdom comes from advanced frameworks. Other wisdom comes from eighth-grade science class. Eric Harding holds onto both. In this episode of People Solve Problems, host Jamie Flinchbaugh sits down with Eric Harding, Vice President of HR Operations and Systems at Republic Services. With more than twenty years across HR, manufacturing, and product development, Eric has seen what works, what fails, and what gets dressed up as something more sophisticated than it really is. The conversation moves through methodology, coaching, culture, and measurement, returning again and again to a single truth: the fundamentals do most of the work. Eric describes how his thinking about problem solving traces back through Intel's seven-step method in the early nineties, through Six Sigma belts and DMAIC, through Lean, and through more recent labels. He prefers the term methodology-based improvement because it removes the anxiety that surfaces the moment a specific brand name appears in the room. What he has noticed across organizations is that the named system matters less than the discipline of being systematic. And he is direct about where most teams fall short. Defining the problem clearly, he argues, is where the largest gains live, and it is also where most organizations are weakest. A story from early in his career illustrates how seriously he takes context. As a Lean manager overseeing multiple factories, Eric tried the same approach in two buildings sitting across the same parking lot. It thrived in one and failed in the other. Culture matters. The situation matters. He pairs this lesson with the situational leadership framework, reading both where the organization sits in its development and where the individual being coached sits in their understanding of problem-solving. The conversation turns to learning, where Eric makes the case for the A3 as a coaching surface that lets him see how someone thinks. He shares a moment from a strategy session with a shared service center team in Costa Rica, where nearly every problem statement returned by his teams contained the word manual. Eric now has a rule for his HR A3s. The word manual is not allowed in a problem statement because the moment it appears, the team has already decided that automation is the answer and has stopped thinking. He extends the same caution to artificial intelligence today, arguing that AI cannot rescue a process that has never been standardized in the first place. He also recounts a recent example where a team had spent years trying to solve what they believed was a roles and responsibilities problem. Once the process flow was mapped and the right questions were asked, the actual issue surfaced. Nobody was doing the work the same way. It was a process problem all along, and only the right kind of coaching brought that to the surface. On the subject of managing the problem landscape, Eric talks about the move from reactive firefighting to meaningful KPIs and monthly operating reviews. He shares the background check story, where loud complaints were shaping the narrative until a data analyst built the data set that showed the ninetieth percentile was on target and only the outliers were creating the noise. Data, he explains, lets you stop arguing and start solving. He encourages teams new to measurement to start somewhere, even imperfectly, and let the indicators mature over time so that operating reviews become a place for coaching and learning rather than reporting.

TL;DR Today, based on our multi-year prioritization research, we launch the Rethink Priorities Cross-Cause Fund (CCF). The fund pools donors' contributions and allocates them to high-impact giving funds across Global Health and Development, Animal Welfare, and Global Catastrophic Risks. Key highlights from this post: We believe that strategic cross-cause prioritization is an important step in doing good at scale. This fund is for donors who want their donation to go where a marginal dollar is likely to do the most good across cause areas, all things considered. We modeled key uncertainties that matter for cross-cause prioritization: moral weights, time discounting, risk attitudes, aggregation across ethical views, AI-related uncertainty, and empirical uncertainty within each giving opportunity. We present the current recommended allocation of marginal resources across high-impact funds in each of the three cause areas mentioned above. In addition, we're introducing you to the first version of the Donor Compass, a tool to help donors explore cross-cause giving, powered by our cross-cause prioritization model. It is a short quiz that outputs custom giving allocations based on the user's moral and empirical assumptions. You can dive deep into our rationale and methodology for the CCF in the announcement below, or [...] ---Outline:(00:11) TL;DR(01:46) Cross-cause prioritization in effective giving is underdeveloped(02:22) Giving is full of moral and empirical uncertainty(04:27) How EA has historically handled this(06:29) Why thinking in cause areas isn't enough(06:34) Why not just pick the best cause and fund it?(07:18) At the end of the day, interventions are what's funded -- not causes(08:37) What would address the prioritization problem(08:55) We need explicit modeling(10:36) The barriers to cross-cause prioritization are lower than they once were(11:59) Our solution: an explicit and transparent cross-cause prioritization model(12:06) The model(14:03) Giving opportunities currently included in the model(16:10) The Cross-Cause Fund(16:35) Who is it for?(17:42) How does it work?(18:39) Our current recommended allocation across cause areas(20:15) Donor Compass(20:19) What is it?(20:51) How to use it(21:41) Methodology behind our model and tools(22:10) Fund selection(22:55) Fund-by-fund cost-effectiveness estimation(24:43) Data Viewer(25:01) Defining worldviews(26:48) Outputting an allocation(28:03) Future cross-cause prioritization plans(31:03) Support the research behind the cross-cause prioritization model(31:46) Conflicts of interest statement(32:25) Acknowledgements --- First published: May 20th, 2026 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/YgbTWGyfwkoBtvT2R/announcing-the-rethink-priorities-cross-cause-fund --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.

The memoirs of Paweł Z. Woś highlight the significant research challenges encountered by historians of the Intermarium area. Polish conspiracy during the German occupation, participation in the Warsaw Uprising, and operating a small business were all, in reality, acts of anti-communist resistance. The many omissions and instances of imprecision stem not only from the passage of time, but also from the carefully cultivated discretion imposed by the all-powerful communist secret police. For scholars, this represents a major challenge in the reconstruction of events and the discovery of historical truth. Dr. Sebastian Bojemski Graduated from the Institute of History of Warsaw University and gained his doctoral degree at The Cardinal Wyszyński University in Warsaw. At the Institute of World Politics (Washington, DC) he attended individual courses in geography and strategy, geoeconomy, strategic influence and propaganda. He was awarded scholarships by the Kosciuszko Foundation (USA) and the M. Grabowski Fund (UK). Mr Bojemski also has extensive experience in strategic communication, marketing, sales and management. For over 15 years (2003-2018) he had owned a Warsaw-based consulting firm. Between 2018-2024 he was an executive director for marketing at PKN Orlen – the largest oil company in Central Europe, a vice chairman at Lotos Fuels, the second largest oil company in Poland and a vice chairman at PERN, the largest fuel and logistics company in the region and critical infrastructure operator. He is currently affiliated with the University College of Professional Education as a member of the Center for Research on Disinformation and Cybersecurity and a senior fellow at the Eastern Flank Institute, a Brussels-based think tank. The Kościuszko Chair serves as a center for Polish Studies in the broadest sense, including learning, teaching, researching, and writing about Poland's culture, history, heritage, religion, government, economy, and successes in the arts, sciences, and letters, with special emphasis on the achievements of Polish civilization and its relation to other nations, particularly the United States. **Learn more about IWP graduate programs: https://www.iwp.edu/academics/graduate-degree-programs/ ***Make a gift to the IWP Kosciuszko Chair of Polish Studies: https://wl.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=E231090&id=4

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly talk about taking the advanced leadership of self 12 minute a day methodology to the next level. Using AI. And here's the thing to appreciate. At the end the day, one success is determined by taking the right actions on a consistent basis. On the issue of consistently taking the right actions, that's addressed in the 12 minute day methodology. 95% of your daily actions are unconscious. When you feed the succinct articulation of your desired life yourself each day, that's the repetition the subconscious mind needs to rewire your autopilot. So you have control over those unconscious daily actions. That way you can do them consistently rather than sporadically.But here's the other issue. You have to be taking the right actions. So consider this. The right actions regarding your health are pretty straightforward. Regarding eating right and exercising. Same with having a great romantic relationship. The right actions are pretty straightforward. But when he gets to one's career, the right actions are not nearly as obvious. And in methodology, for your career you establish where you want your career to be three years from now. And the 4-5 milestones to get there. That gives you a guidepost for the right actions to take. But here's the problem. Your vision is trapped by the four walls of your own mind. Your vision of the right actions is constrained by your own biases and limited knowledge. But this can be overcome. And is being overcome using AI in the advanced leadership of self methodology. In this episode Kelly explains her three year vision for her business. As well as the three or four milestones to get there. Then once this is established, John and Kelly gives it all to chat GPT. Chat GPT then gives a much deeper view of the right actions. This overcomes one's limited vision from the four walls of one's own mind.Buy John's book, THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it here.About the Hosts:John MitchellJohn's story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn't as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there's a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.John's technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas' McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.Reach out to John at john@thinkitbeit.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/Kelly HatfieldKelly Hatfield is an entrepreneur at heart.

Guest: Max Van Wyk De Vries, Assistant Professor at the University of CambridgeFrom wildfires sparking power outages, to hurricanes triggering chemical spills, today's disasters rarely unfold in isolation. They cascade, compound, and collide — creating challenges far more complex than any single hazard on its own. At the University of Cambridge, the Complex and Multihazard Research Group is leading the charge to better understand these interconnected risks, and to help communities, governments, and industries prepare for a more uncertain world. In this episode, we sit down with the program head of the group Max Van Wyk De Vries to explore how their research is reshaping the way we think about hazards, resilience, and the future of global risk.Chapters00:00 Understanding Complex and Multi-Hazard Risks10:47 The Role of Human Activity in Natural Hazards14:04 Break 119:24 Techniques and Methodologies in Hazard Research23:41 Break 229:24 Future Challenges and Opportunities in Multi-Hazard Risk ManagementSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have received special undergarments as part of their temple endowment ceremonies since the days of Jospeh Smith. But what are these garments? How do they fit and feel? How have they changed with fashion trends over the years? And how do Latter-day Saints perceive and experience these garments as an embodied practice of their religion?Researchers Nancy Ross and Jessica Finnigan sit down with host Nicholas Shrum to discuss these and many other questions from their brand-new book (co-authored with Larissa Kanno Kindred) Mormon Garments: Sacred and Secret (University of Illinois Press). Having surveyed thousands of Latter-day Saints, Ross and Finnigan discuss their findings on the gendered difference in garment wearing, the ways in which garments make Mormonism feel embodied, the social costs of wearing — or not wearing — garments, the complexities of researching such a taboo topic, and the impact of these garments on the individual Latter-day Saints' relationship to the Church and God.Nancy Ross is an associate professor and the department chair of the Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences Department at Utah Tech University. She was also a 2024 Clyde Research Fellow in Mormonism and Gender in the UVA Mormon Studies Prince Collection.Jessica Finnigan is the founder of Fractional Project Manager and a seasoned researcher and data analyst. She has been researching and writing about Mormonism — particularly the experience of Mormon women — for over a decade.
Daniel Laurison is a Professor of Sociology at Swarthmore College who focuses on class, social mobility, and racial inequality in US politics. He has recently released a report titled "The Political Disconnect: Working-Class and Low-Income People On What Politics Means to Them and How They Might be Mobilized." These citizens are not abstaining from voting because they are uninformed or apathetic. Rather, they think their vote does not matter and that politics is a game for wealthy elites. We talk about: Methodology of this qualitative study on political participation How voters perceive the connection between voting and tangible improvements in their lives Recommendations for politicians to engage in genuine two-way conversations with communities outside of election season Need to increase the number of working-class and low-income people in all aspects of politics, including working on campaigns, running for office, and local organizing #DanielLaurison #CampaignStrategy #PoliticalEngagement #WorkingClassVoters #LowIncomeVoters #Nonvoters #RelationalOrganizing #FieldStrategy #VoterContact #PoliticalInclusion #RepresentationMatters #ClassInPolitics #CivicEngagement #DigitalPolitics #CampaignProfessionals Strengthening Political Engagement Daniel Laurison

From real people. For faster breakthroughs.https://www.prolific.com/?utm_source=mlstInterview: https://youtu.be/cnxZZTl1tkk---Beth Barnes and David Rein from METR on the one graph that ate the AI timelines discourse, and why the people who built it are the most careful about how it gets read.Beth founded METR after leaving OpenAI alignment. David is first author on GPQA and co-author on HCAST and the METR Time Horizons paper. Together they built the measurement Daniel Kokotajlo called the single most important piece of evidence on AI timelines: the log-linear line of "how long a task a frontier model can complete at 50% reliability" vs release date.The conversation opens on reward hacking. Current models can articulate in chat why a behaviour is undesired and then execute it anyway as agents. From there: construct validity, Melanie Mitchell's four-problem taxonomy, and the ARC-AGI 1-to-2 collapse as a worked example of adversarially-selected benchmarks regressing once labs target them. Beth's counter: METR deliberately does not adversarially select. David's: models do not have to do the right thing for the right reasons.Methodology, then specification — David's compiler analogy, Beth on four-month tasks as expensive to evaluate rather than unspecifiable. Then the SWE-bench reality check, the METR finding that half of passing PRs would not be merged, and Beth's horses-versus-bank-tellers analogy for the labour market.The close: monitorability, the coin-spinning boat, two-year recursive self-improvement, and Beth's line that "overhyped now" and "big deal later" are not correlated claims.---TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 Intro00:02:06 Sponsor break: Prolific human-feedback infrastructure00:02:33 Welcome and the scalable oversight motivation00:06:02 Construct validity, benchmark pathologies and the Chollet worry00:15:45 Time Horizons: human time, HCAST tasks and the 50% logistic00:24:50 Is human difficulty really one variable?00:33:05 Agent harness evolution and the inference-compute dividend00:40:00 Scaffolding bells, token budgets and the credit-assignment problem00:44:15 Look at the damn graph: regularisation bug and reliability nuance00:50:00 Why 50%?

Jim Harold returns to the show to talk about his latest book and tell us some ghost stories. Jim's latest collection is True Ghost Stories; Jim Harold's Campfire 3. 70 Stories in this one, of all kinds, not just ghosts. In 2005, Jim created The Paranormal Podcast. After over a decade of working on the business side of media, Jim decided it was time to dust off his broadcast training and step back behind the mic. A life long interest in the paranormal, combined with his love of broadcasting and technology, resulted in some the most successful podcasts of their type to date. Jim has worked in radio, business to business media and has written, hosted and produced award winning video programming over the course of his career. He holds a Master's Degree in Applied Communication Theory and Methodology and is accredited as a Certified Digital Media Consultant by the Radio Advertising Bureau. Jim has also had the opportunity to teach at the university level. Jim Harold's website is JimHarold.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Every analyst, every think tank, every consulting deck has an opinion on AI's water footprint (and overall on AI and Water)But nobody bothered to ask the people actually watching the videos, posting the comments, and shaping the narrative. You'd need to be mad to do that, right?So I read 2,540 of them.
We have Daniel Schlagwein on the show, who is what Germans call a "Tausendsassa:" He is both a practitioner and researcher of digital nomadism, the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Information Technology, and president of the AIS special interest group on Grounded Theory Methodology. We touch upon all three of these aspects, but at the core we want to know from Daniel whether generative AI tools are automating grounded theory and thereby eliminate what used to be at the heart of a humanistic and constructionist approach to doing research – or are they merely leveling the playing field for qualitative field researchers by giving them computational support matching those tools that quantitative researchers have had for a long time. Daniel argues that it depends on the specific flavor of the grounded theory method you are using to determine whether and how you can leverage generative AI for such research.

The UTMB Index and race scores have become increasingly significant in the global trail running ecosystem. The Index upstream of sponsorship and race entry opportunities for pros, it allows fans to gauge who is performing best on the world's stage, and it helps media members contextualize performances across years, distances, and different course terrains. Today the UTMB Index is evolving in some subtle yet important ways.

The Wheel Strategy is often touted as the ultimate "income generator," but most traders get it wrong because they lack the right mindset. In this episode, Mark Longo is joined by Dan Passarelli to discuss his brand-new book, Build Consistent Wealth with Options.

The Wheel Strategy is often touted as the ultimate "income generator," but most traders get it wrong because they lack the right mindset. In this episode, Mark Longo is joined by Dan Passarelli to discuss his brand-new book, Build Consistent Wealth with Options.

This week, I'm joined by Jermaine Jones, visionary founder of Jones Global Group and a recognized leader in enterprise risk and strategic talent selection. Jermaine shares his insights on common pitfalls sales professionals encounter during account transitions, and gives actionable strategies for aligning account plans with customer objectives. We also discuss his favorite tools and methodologies for key account managers and why he believes that stakeholder mapping is a crucially important part of the process. Outline of This Episode [00:00] Key Account vs. Regular Account [01:26] Common mistakes organizations make in defining key accounts [02:45] Importance of diagnosis before prescription in consultative selling [03:31] Use of a closed loop system and Ansoff Matrix [04:39] How to tailor communication for different decision-makers [06:16] 4D task prioritization tool [12:04] Finding a Zone of Possible Agreement (ZOPA) to protect margins and reduce risk Moving Beyond Revenue Organizations often misclassify accounts by prioritizing revenue rather than focusing on profit or the return on time invested. Jermaine references the Pareto Principle, the well-known 80/20 rule, and explains that "80% of your profitable sales come from 20% of your customers". A key account isn't simply about large volume; it's an account where your domain expertise fundamentally shifts the client's profitability. To identify strategic partners, sales leaders have to calculate return on time invested and examine how their influence impacts the client's bottom line. Without this, accounts remain routine and are a missed opportunity for strategic growth. Rethinking Relationship Management Transitioning from a transactional sales approach to effective key account management is fraught with pitfalls. The most common mistake is staying stuck in a perpetual "hunter" mindset. Salespeople fail because they skip the prescription before the diagnosis." The sales process is a little like medicine, where selling becomes 'malpractice' if you pitch solutions before properly understanding the client's needs via thorough discovery. The path to success lies in shifting focus. Account managers should embrace a consultative approach, building trust and acting as advisors rather than mere vendors. Aligning with Client Objectives Jermaine recommends using closed-loop goal execution and the Ansoff Matrix to identify opportunities for market penetration and product development. He emphasizes aligning one's talent and resource supply chain to support the client's expansion and adapt quickly as objectives evolve. Critical to this approach is ensuring plans are dynamic—active tools shaped by real-time feedback and shifting environments rather than static documents filed away and forgotten. Effective plans rely on the 70/20/10 development model, so you're continuously adapting based on 70% real-world experience and market feedback. The Power of Stakeholder Mapping Stakeholder mapping prevents communication style bias, for instance, pitching with enthusiasm to a data-driven CFO is a sure way to lose trust if the presentation lacks concrete analysis. To gain access to senior decision makers, authority and social proof are key: bringing rigorous, certified data positions the seller as an invaluable source of insight rather than a time-waster. Essential Tools and Methodologies for Key Account Managers According to Jermaine, what sets top account managers apart is mastery of three things. First, understanding and employing the five pillars of sales success, with particular emphasis on self-awareness and domain expertise. Technology and AI are no substitute for deep industry knowledge. Second, the 4D task tool prioritization (Do it, Delegate, Date, Delete) ensures efficiency does not replace effectiveness—the real goal is to do the right things, not just do things right. Third, value-based motivation statements open every executive interaction with a clear, credible promise, establishing technical trust and ensuring every conversation is purposeful.

I chat with Jannik Kaiser about regenerative evaluation, an approach that asks how evaluation itself can contribute to flourishing. We discussed Jannik's background in evaluation and what led him to regenerative evaluation, how and why the approach was developed, what regenerative evaluation is and an example of regenerative evaluation in practice, and more. "Too often, evaluation is experienced as a "tax" on doing good: an extractive exercise where we mine data from communities to feed upward reporting structures. It reinforces a power dynamic where the funder holds the yardstick and the community bears the burden of proof. We count the fruits while depleting the soil. But I believe - and have witnessed first hand - that evaluation can be a source of vitality and justice, not just accountability." - Regenerative Evaluation Living Paper: Influences, Pathways, & Practices Resources Introduction to the Regenerative Evaluation Living Paper Regenerative Evaluation Living Paper: Influences, Pathways, & Practices Impact Garden M&E in Complexity: Presenting a methodology for making credible claims Capacity Compass Regenerative Evaluation Community of Practice About Jannik Kaiser Jannik Kaiser is the Co-founder and CEO of Unity Effect, where he leads the area of Regenerative Measurement and Evaluation. As the main editor of the Regenerative Evaluation Living Paper, Jannik has dedicated his career to bridging complexity science with participatory practice. He advocates for transforming evaluation from a compliance-driven reporting requirement into a regenerative intervention in itself: one that gives more energy than it takes and actively shifts institutional power. His work encompasses a broad spectrum of contributions, ranging from advising global organizations such as the ILO and UN agencies, to developing open-source frameworks such as the Impact Garden, Capacity Compass, and Methodology for Credible Claims in Complexity, to empower purpose-driven organizations worldwide.

This episode features listener takeaways from the recent RootsTech 2026 conference. Diana discusses the overall positive impressions of the event, noting the high quality of the presentations and the unanimous message about disclosing the use of AI and double-checking its work. Nicole and Diana review several classes on AI, including transforming family history into song, understanding AI's role in archival stewardship, and mastering the basics of AI for genealogy. They share lessons on using AI to abstract information from records, create citations, and analyze research logs to identify gaps. Diana also discusses her class on using AI to clarify complex court records by translating obsolete terms and organizing chronological data. The hosts share insights on specialized research areas, methodology, and records. Diana highlights classes on DNA, including using shared-match grids to analyze and group DNA matches and a methodology to defeat the "Genealogy Gremlin" by evaluating match pedigrees and mitigating confirmation bias. They share a listener's review of Michael Lacopo's session on how to successfully approach non-responsive cousins to encourage them to share their DNA. The hosts discuss classes on research methodology, such as resolving same-name issues by building identity profiles and constructing timelines, and using genealogical analysis to solve conflicting birth dates. Diana notes that a class on probate files reveals that these records contain many rich documents beyond the will, offering clues about an ancestor's associates and lifestyle. They also share Sue Taylor's review a class on Italian records that explains the Latin grammatical forms—nominative, genitive, and accusative—found in civil and parish records. Listeners learn how to access recordings and handouts from RootsTech to apply new AI tools to their research, master advanced DNA analysis techniques, and apply genealogical proof standards to complex records and challenging research questions. This summary was generated by Google Gemini.

ANGELA'S SYMPOSIUM 📖 Academic Study on Witchcraft, Paganism, esotericism, magick and the Occult
What if everything you thought you knew about Solomonic magic was wrong? In this video, I explore Gal Sofer's groundbreaking study of Solomonic magic and why it changes the way we understand the Key of Solomon, the Goetia, and the wider grimoire tradition. Far from being a single, unified body of ancient magical wisdom, these texts emerge as a fluid network shaped by scribes, translations, and centuries of adaptation across Jewish, Christian, Arabic, Greek, and Latin traditions.We will look at the real history behind Solomonic texts, the myth of the “original” grimoire, the Jewish roots of demon-summoning traditions, and why this matters not only for scholars of Western esotericism but also for contemporary practitioners. If you are interested in grimoires, ceremonial magic, the Key of Solomon, the Lesser Key, or the history of Western occultism, this episode will give you a much deeper understanding of what is really at stake.CONNECT & SUPPORT
