Today, Mike Erre, Tim Stafford, and super special guest host Suzie P. Lind open a serious conversation about spiritual abuse by reading Matthew 23 alongside current headlines of pastor misconduct and church corruption. The episode asks why Jesus' harshest words land on religious leaders, and what that reveals about abusive systems, hypocrisy, and the responsibility of shepherds.Suzie brings a crucial perspective as a pastor, elder, and woman in church leadership, helping widen the conversation beyond the usual assumptions. The discussion moves between biblical context, present-day church culture, and the personal work of examining how easily leaders can become what they condemn.The group walks through Matthew 23 and focuses on Jesus' repeated rebukes:hypocrisyburdening people without helpingstatus-seekingspiritual blindnessneglect of justice, mercy, and faithfulnessChapters:00:00 - Welcome back and introduction of Suzie P.

Public Sector agencies are under increasing pressure to deliver faster, more connected workflow services while managing limited resources and growing operational demands. In this session, learn how AI-powered service management, automation and modern workflows help Government agencies streamline operations, improve employee experience and reduce manual effort.

Jarrette Schule is the Founder and CTO of TenFore Golf, a cloud-based, all-in-one management platform built for golf courses and recreational facilities. He founded the company in 2015 after recognizing the limitations of legacy golf management systems. As TenFore's lead architect, Jarrette directs its technology vision and product development, creating mobile-first tools that help single- and multi-course facilities streamline operations, increase revenue, and improve the golfer experience.  In this episode… Golf courses often juggle outdated systems for tee times, payments, food service, reporting, and customer engagement. What does it take to replace those fragmented systems with one platform designed around how modern facilities operate? Jarrette Schule, a lifelong software developer with decades of experience building technology, explains that successful golf management software must address the entire operation rather than solve one isolated problem. He highlights the importance of listening to course operators, validating recurring needs, and designing tools around real-world workflows. This customer-led approach helped transform an on-course beverage-ordering concept into a connected platform spanning tee sheets, point-of-sale, booking, payments, food and beverage, reporting, and self-service kiosks. By bringing an outside technology perspective to golf, Jarrette identified opportunities that legacy providers had overlooked. He also uses a "rule of three" to prioritize features that deliver value across multiple customers instead of reacting to every individual request. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz speaks with Jarrette Schule, Founder and CTO of TenFore Golf, to discuss building an all-in-one platform for modern golf operations. They explore the product's evolution, customer-led development, and growth through multi-course operators. Jarrette also shares lessons from SaaS pricing, payment integrations, and moving from CEO to CTO.

In compliance with the Trump administration Executive Orders 14300 and 14154,the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to scrap long-standingradiation exposure standards for the general public and nuclear workers. The proposedrulemaking is called “Reforming and Modernizing the NRC's Radiation ProtectionFramework,” which will result in more radiation exposures, not less. With cuts tomedical assistance for so many in the U.S., the proposed changes will be even moreharmful. And people will die as a result.

Agriculture has changed in a lot of ways, but crop insurance agencies still largely run the same way they have for decades.

As the new school year kicks off, many parents and educators are wondering if our children are truly prepared for the workforce of the future. In this episode, we explore the challenges facing our educational system and what we can do to get our kids "future ready." Joining us is CEO of ETS, the largest private educational assessment and testing organization in the world. The conversation touches on the importance of math and reading skills, which are becoming increasingly crucial in today's economy.

Send us Fan MailWendy Stonehenge of the Candy Whips returns to the show to discuss his cover of the classic Heaven 17 song, "(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang', Tour Life, Fatherhood and much more.****"After the doo-wop covers EP Moonlight that I released last year, I wasn't planning on doing more covers for a while. But I was listening to Heaven 17, the pertinence of the lyrics really jumped out at me,” says Wendy Stonehenge, mastermind behind the electro/New Wave-inspired project CANDY WHIPS, about their new single “(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang.” "This song was originally released 45 years ago, and it's more relevant than ever. I decided it needed to be given a new life."Candy Whips interpretation of the classic percolating ‘80s hit slows down the tempo slightly but amplifies the dance groove, allowing the very timely lyrics to breathe. "I knew I had to really reinvent this song in order to pull it off,” explains Stonehenge. “I mean, I couldn't do a faithful cover even if I wanted to. The basslines of Heaven 17's John Wilson are insane. My version is much more stripped down but also even more danceable..this is the first time I've made a straight up dance track. It was a fun challenge to work outside of my usual comfort zone."“(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang” follows Candy Whip's cover EP Moonlight, which features doo wop versions of The Flamingos' “I Only Have Eyes For You,” Marvin and Johnny's “Cherry Pie,” and the Chordettes/Pat Ballard's girl group classic "Mr. Sandman." Moonlight was my way of connecting with those roots of yore,” Stonehenge explains. “Modernizing these songs helped me to be a stronger writer.” Ripe with vocal effects, drum machines, and synths, he breathed new life into the songs by dusting them off and polishing them with modern flourishes. "If I could turn young people on to this older music, that would be amazing," he adds. Known as an established member of the well-known Northern California glam rock band Glitter Wizard, Stonehenge formed Candy Whips as a side project during the pandemic. Using this project as an outlet for music that didn't fit his other band's glamrock mold, he explored synthpop in a more focused way, fusing punk and electronic.Candy Whips is the solo project of Wendy Stonehenge. The new single "(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang" is out now and is available via Kitten Robot.Website: https://kittenrobot.com/artist/candy-whips/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glitterwizardwagon/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/candy.whips/?hl=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPgCq_P0e-xj84tFAiTXI3A****If you would like to contact the show Dauna@betertopodcast.comFollow us on Social MediaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX0ETs2wpOHbCuhUNr0XFTw?view_as=subscriberInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomSupport the podcast here: https://www.patreon.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedom©2026 Better To...Podcast with D.

Steven Hunter's path to building 9fin started with an early entrepreneurial streak, a law degree, and a front-row seat to the inefficiencies of leveraged finance and credit markets. After beginning his career at JP Morgan and Barings, Steven saw how manual, fragmented, and outdated many debt market workflows remained — and believed technology could help solve them. In this episode, Steven shares the story behind founding 9fin, from quitting his job in the wake of Brexit to building the first product out of a flat in Greenwich, landing early customers, navigating COVID-era volatility, and scaling the company into a global debt market data and analytics platform. Brian and Steven discuss the realities of founder life, the leadership lessons that come with carrying pressure others don't see, 9fin's expansion into the U.S. and new markets, and why Steven believes AI will fundamentally reshape credit workflows in the years ahead.

Late payments have become so common that many businesses simply accept them as part of commercial life. But should they? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Pat Bermingham, founder and CEO of Adflex, about why late payments continue to cost the UK economy an estimated £11 billion every year, why thousands of businesses fail because of cash flow pressures, and how technology could help change payment behavior rather than simply respond to it. Pat argues that late payments are rarely an administrative accident. In many industries they have become an informal financing mechanism, allowing larger organizations to protect their own cash flow while placing increasing financial pressure on smaller suppliers. Construction is one example, but the challenge extends across many sectors where long supply chains and uneven bargaining power make delayed payments the norm rather than the exception. We discuss why new government proposals to strengthen payment regulations represent progress, while also examining why legislation alone cannot solve a structural problem that has developed over decades. Instead, Pat believes technology can play a much bigger role. He explains how virtual commercial cards and Straight Through Processing (STP) allow buyers to access extended finance while suppliers receive payment far more quickly, without introducing additional friction into the payment process. Rather than forcing suppliers to accept card payments directly, the technology automates the process behind the scenes while improving reconciliation, increasing visibility and supporting healthier cash flow across the supply chain. The conversation also explores why many organizations still rely on fragmented payment systems created through years of acquisitions and disconnected technologies. Modernizing payment infrastructure can reduce delays, improve operational efficiency and help businesses build stronger supplier relationships rather than treating late payment as a normal business practice. Pat also shares how an earlier career as a music producer shaped his thinking about technology. Watching digital innovation transform music production helped him recognize how technology can simplify complex processes while also creating new business models that challenge established industries. For finance leaders, procurement teams, CIOs and business owners, this episode provides practical insights into improving cash flow, strengthening supplier relationships, modernizing payment processes and preparing for a future where prompt payment becomes both a commercial advantage and an increasing regulatory expectation. Changing payment legislation is important. Changing payment behavior is what will ultimately strengthen businesses, protect suppliers and create more resilient supply chains.

Peter Huessy warns the U.S. now faces a tri-polar nuclear threat from Russia and China, both of which are modernizing their arsenals "gangbusters." Meanwhile, U.S. systems haven't been updated in 40 years, leaving the deterrent "fragile." Allied nations in Asia, specifically South Korea and Japan, are increasingly questioning the U.S. nuclear umbrella and considering their own deterrents as regional tensions and Chinese missile capabilities grow.

"We have an untapped army of 200,000 PAs that really could step up and drive some change in the healthcare system if we weren't restricted,” says Dr. Jennifer Kolb, capturing her motivation for pushing to update practice regulations for physician associates that date back more than 50 years.  As Chief Medical Officer and Senior Vice President of Clinical Affairs at the American Academy of Physician Associates, Dr. Kolb has been in the middle of the fight at the state and federal level to grant PAs more independence from physicians, full billing rights, and the increased ability to practice across state lines, among other changes.  In this pertinent conversation with Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith, Dr. Kolb explains how these updates could help close huge gaps in access to healthcare, better manage the fight against chronic diseases and improve patient outcomes.   Dr. Kolb also addresses:  Why the name shift from "assistant" to "associate" took her years to fully appreciate; How a 10-year gap in life expectancy across Chicago zip codes shapes her view of health equity; Why PA's shouldn't wait for permission to start making change in their communities.

For companies in the defense industrial base, a compliance deadline is not paperwork. It is the difference between winning contracts and watching them stall. In this Brand Feature, Jason LaPointe, Chief Technology Officer at Exostar, and Michael Parisi, Chief Growth Officer at Steel Patriot Partners, walk through what it takes to get FedRAMP ready without cutting corners. Exostar was born out of a consortium that included Boeing and Lockheed Martin, and its FedRAMP-moderate posture lets smaller suppliers keep working on Department of War contracts. How does that work? Instead of moving every server and mailbox into a secure boundary, a supplier inherits roughly 80% of the controls from Exostar, which shrinks the scope of its own CMMC audit considerably. The clock was real. At the time, a November transition date loomed, after which many suppliers could no longer self-attest. That specific timeline has since been paused, but the pressure to prove readiness has not gone away. Exostar needed to show it was FedRAMP-moderate and ready for an audit, and working with Steel Patriot Partners, the team pulled a January target in by nearly three months, not by skipping steps, but by moving with confidence. Why build a new platform instead of retrofitting the old one? Jason LaPointe describes a platform first initiative: build the new compliant home, then migrate customers into it. Trying to modernize inside a live production environment would have been disruptive, so the team built alongside rather than on top, which freed them to re-architect and retool without breaking customers. Michael Parisi frames the engagement as embedding, not staff augmentation. Steel Patriot Partners plugged directly into the product team through daily standups and leadership calls, delivered infrastructure as code and deployment pipelines, and kept the work with US citizens, a requirement once controlled unclassified information is in play. What makes an audit go smoothly? Preparation that extends to how questions get answered. Jason LaPointe compares the audit to a deposition, where an unsolicited comment hands an assessor somewhere new to go. Michael Parisi, who spent years in the assessor's seat and ran the practice for a large C3PAO, explains why knowing the auditors and presenting information cleanly protects the outcome. The business math is unforgiving. Miss the audit window and millions in direct contracts can be exposed, while auditors book out six to eight months. Exostar cleared it with a clean, no POA&M result, and the business is now seeing tailwinds through initiatives like Golden Dome. The lesson Jason LaPointe offers other technology and security leaders is about temperament. Every part of the organization gets touched, from R&D to HR to finance, and the willingness to change quickly becomes the governor on success.

On this episode of Astonishing Healthcare, Andy Kageleiry (SVP, Enterprise at Judi Health) returns to the studio for a discussion about the state of the technology powering most health plans' and third-party administrators' (TPAs') operations, and how modern enterprise health tech like Judi® eliminates administrative waste, supports flexible plan designs, and unifies medical, pharmacy, vision, and dental claims on one platform. He describes several surprising, common pain points that plan administrators regularly face, including manual claim review, limited data access, an inability to scale or pivot when needed, and point solution fatigue. Andy also introduces the Judi Cloud™ solution, which lets health plans and TPAs license the Judi platform directly.Key Takeaways‍A single claim can be incredibly time-consuming to process, but it doesn't have to be. Eligibility, network status, coverage rules, benefit design, and coordination of benefits all have to resolve correctly in real time. Legacy platforms built on decades-old mainframes can't keep pace, leaving operations teams to close the gap by hand.‍Infrastructure point solutions don't fix root cause problems. Every added vendor means another integration, another relationship, and more overhead. That administrative drag contributes to an estimated $1 trillion in annual healthcare waste, slower provider payments, and members who can't reconcile their EOB with their bill.‍A modern, unified CAPS turns the equation around. Judi Cloud lets health plans and TPAs license the Judi platform, enabling them to process medical, pharmacy, vision, and dental claims on one system, cutting manual work, supporting flexible plan designs, and giving clients full, self-serve access to their own data.Related ContentExplaining the Healthcare Claims Adjudication Process for Modern TPAsJudi Health™ Announces Capital Rx is Now Judi Rx™, Launches Judi Care™ and Judi Cloud™ to Power the Next Era of Health Benefits Administration and Patient CareAH111 - Building a Single Source of Truth for Medical and Pharmacy Benefits, with Kevin Sundquist & Liya LomsadzeJudi Health Partners with CLEAR as a Preferred Identity Verification Partner to Power Secure, Interoperable Health Benefits AccessReplay: The Future of Health Benefit Design: How Judi® Powers Seamless Care and Better OutcomesFor more information about this episode, please visit Judi Health Insights.

Guest: Dr. Mike Farrar, Booz Allen HamiltonWeather forecasting has come a long way—from hand-drawn maps and limited observations to a world driven by supercomputers, satellites, and real-time data. But as technology continues to evolve, so does the challenge of making forecasts faster, smarter, and more useful for the people who rely on them every day. Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by Dr. Mike Farrar, whose career has spanned research, operations, and leadership across the meteorological community. His company has been tasked to help modernize the National Weather Service, and with that he's helping shape what the future of forecasting could look like for both meteorologists and the public alike. We'll talk about the biggest challenges facing weather operations today, how emerging technologies like AI and cloud computing are changing the forecasting landscape, and why communication and public trust remain just as important as the science itself.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Career Background of Dr. Mike Farrar01:30 The Evolution of Weather Forecasting Technologies04:18 Transformational Advances in Meteorology09:15 The Private Sector and Meteorology's Growth12:16 Break 112:19 The Impact of AI and Cloud Computing19:28 Modernizing the National Weather Service22:55 The Role of Human Forecasters in the Age of AI26:51 Break 228:01 The North Star of Meteorology: Science and Service30:18 Skills for Future Meteorologists33:50 Embracing Change in the Meteorological Field34:29 Closing Remarks and Resources ResourcesBooz Allen Hamilton - https://www.boozallen.comNOAA's National Centers for Environmental Prediction - https://www.weather.gov/ncep/American Meteorological Society - https://www.ametsoc.orgAWIPS (Advanced Weather Information Processing System) - https://vlab.noaa.gov/web/nws-heritage/-/introducing-awipsNCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research) - https://ncar.ucar.eduGuest linksLinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/mikefarrar-wxSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on Catalyst, Tammy is joined by Beth Howen, President of State, Local Government and Education (SLED) at NTT DATA, who helps government agencies and school systems modernize the technology touching everyday life. Beth traces her path from becoming a state CIO in Indiana at 28 through leadership roles at Capgemini, TELUS International, Atos, and the City of Indianapolis. So how did she do so much at such a young age? Beth credits it to a willingness to work outside rigid processes when they don't serve the outcome. She and Tammy dig into how AI risks compounding government's legacy-system problems if agencies automate broken workflows instead of modernizing first, and the promise of AI-powered care reaching rural and underserved communities.Please note that the views expressed may not necessarily be those of NTT DATALinks: Beth Howen Learn more about Launch by NTT DATASee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

At one time, reacting to a cyber threat was enough; signatures and blocklists could cope. But AI is now amplifying every aspect of cyberwarfare, including speed and scope, leaving these traditional defenses in the dust. Today's threats can be numerous and personalized, making old approaches worthless. Patricia Titus, Chief Information Security Officer at Abnormal AI, discussed the challenges of transitioning from legacy to modern AI-driven security architectures at the AWS Public Sector Show. During the interview,  she advised focusing on asset visibility, decision-making platforms, and non-human identities to enhance cybersecurity. So many federal organizations are deploying tools that it is difficult to get a baseline or inventory of what is on a system. Titus recommends starting with an accurate inventory to establish a "normal" baseline and detect abnormalities. She also stressed the necessity of modernizing security architecture in parallel with cloud migration and the dangers of relying on outdated tools.

Send us Fan MailShow notes A physician built a solid, growing independent practice over six years, then got bored with the pace and chased three new ideas at once. None launched. The original practice still lost an estimated $180,000 in revenue degradation over twelve months, not from a bad decision, but from the boring work quietly going undone. This episode is the framework for staying in the room with it. The compounding cost of distraction.  The revenue cycle does not tolerate divided attention. When leadership focus drifts, performance does not collapse, it leaks. A $350K-a-month practice that drifts for six months can lose $84,000 in net collections that never gets recovered. The shiny idea did not cost the money. The distraction did. The patience advantage.  A boring denial-rate fix that recovers $8,000 to $12,000 a month compounds every month forward. A new service line that might add $5,000 a month creates complexity with no compounding. Patient money picks the boring fix every time. The boredom threshold.  James Clear calls boredom the greatest threat to success. When the practice is working, the work stops feeling like progress and starts feeling like maintenance. The reframe: the boring work is not maintenance, it is compounding. The Five Shiny Objects That Cost Practices the Most The Shiny Object   Adding a second location before ops are solid Switching EMR mid-growth Launching a new service line Hiring aggressively before systems exist Chasing a new payer vertical What It Feels Like Growth and scale Modernizing and streamlining Diversification and new revenue Team building and capacity Revenue diversification What It Actually Costs 2x overhead, fragmented leadership, billing gaps at both sites 6 to 12 months of workflow disruption, revenue dip during transition Core service attention drops, existing margin erodes Payroll grows faster than revenue, management overwhelm follows Credentialing lag, cash flow gap, billing team stretched thin Three actions this week Name the hard problem you have been avoiding, and write it down. Calculate what one boring fix is worth over twelve months (a 3% net collection lift on $300K a month is $108,000 a year). Schedule the boring meeting that keeps getting skipped: weekly, named owner, standing agenda. Resources 30-Day Revenue Recovery Plan (primary): eligibility.natrevmd.com/nrc/-30day-revenue-recovery-plan Book a call with Heather: calendly.com/heather-natrevmd Payment Posting Audit Checklist (supporting): eligibility.natrevmd.com/payment-posting-checklist Referenced: Atomic Habits by James Clear.

In "Is Your Freight Secure: The 3 Key Vulnerabilities in Freight Operations", Joe Lynch and Mike Hane, Director of Product Marketing for Transportation Management at Descartes Systems Group, discuss how to protect global supply chains from fragmented technology, carrier identity theft, and increasingly sophisticated cargo fraud. About Michael Hane Mike Hane is the Director of Product Marketing for Transportation Management at Descartes Systems Group. With more than 30 years of experience in transportation, logistics technology, and supply chain consulting, Mike helps organizations understand emerging freight trends and apply technology to build more resilient and efficient transportation operations. Prior to joining Descartes, Mike held leadership roles at DAT, Optilogic, CHAINalytics, and CAPS Logistics, where he focused on transportation strategy, network optimization, and freight market intelligence. At Descartes, he works closely with shippers, brokers, and logistics service providers to translate industry challenges into practical technology solutions across transportation management, real-time visibility, carrier connectivity, and logistics security. Mike frequently shares insights on transportation technology trends, digital transformation in freight, and the evolving role of logistics networks in global supply chains. About Descartes Systems Group Descartes powers more responsive, efficient, secure and sustainable international and domestic supply chains by uniting logistics-intensive businesses on its Global Logistics Network (GLN). Shippers, carriers, and logistics service providers connect and collaborate on the GLN leveraging technology, data and AI to manage last mile deliveries, domestic and international shipments, transportation rating and payment, global trade research, customs compliance and a variety of regulatory processes. Key Takeaways: Is Your Freight Secure: The 3 Key Vulnerabilities in Freight Operations In "Is Your Freight Secure: The 3 Key Vulnerabilities in Freight Operations", Joe Lynch and Mike Hane, Director of Product Marketing for Transportation Management at Descartes Systems Group, discuss how to protect global supply chains from fragmented technology, carrier identity theft, and increasingly sophisticated cargo fraud.  The 3 Key Vulnerabilities discussed are listed below: Vulnerability 1 – Outdated, Clunky Freight Tech Stack. The modern logistics tech stack is a prime target for sophisticated bad actors who are now using AI to scale their attacks. This vulnerability focuses on the integrity of the TMS suite and broader tech stack, requiring companies to have the scale and advanced defenses necessary to stay ahead of automated threats. Vulnerability 2 – Carrier Identity Theft & Freight Hijacking. Freight fraud—including double brokering and fraudulent load pickups—is a direct result of failing to verify identity at the point of transaction. This vulnerability highlights the operational risk of giving freight to an unverified actor, proving that basic vetting is no longer enough to prevent cargo loss. Vulnerability 3 – Data Exposure & Unsecured Partner Connectivity. Modern freight operations are at risk due to the fragmentation of data and automation. This vulnerability focuses on the danger of shipment data and AI tools operating outside of a trusted environment. When partners connect to technology platforms without rigorous security, the entire network becomes a target for leaks and external manipulation. Modernizing the Tech Stack: Fragmented or legacy systems create security gaps. Freight operations must move toward integrated, secure platforms rather than a patchwork of disconnected software to ensure data integrity and vendor stability. The "Verify Then Trust" Model: To combat identity theft and "chameleon carriers," logistics providers should use automated vetting to verify not just the carrier's authority, but also the specific driver and equipment via VIN and geolocation. Neutralizing Sophisticated Fraud: Cargo theft has evolved into organized corporate scams involving double brokering and fake insurance. Real-time monitoring for suspicious tracking pings or IP addresses is now essential to identify bad actors before a load is picked up. Strengthening Operational Hygiene: Security relies on strict Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). This includes "zeroing out" inactive carriers every few months to force re-vetting and immediately revoking system access for former employees. Strategic AI Integration: AI should be used to automate high-volume manual tasks—like chasing tracking updates or proof of delivery—within a secure logistics environment to prevent sensitive financial data from being exposed to unvetted models. Global Multimodal Connectivity: Leveraging a Global Logistics Network (GLN) allows shippers and brokers to collaborate across air, ocean, and truck modes while maintaining high standards for customs and regulatory compliance.

314: QUIPA: Processes that Drive Profit With over two decades of experience as a workroom owner and interior designer, Hope Arbery understands the real challenges behind custom work—long hours, pricing uncertainty, and the constant pressure to get everything just right. She founded QUIPA to provide the tools she—and so many others—wished they had: automated yardage and pricing calculations, professional estimates, and systems that bring clarity instead of chaos. Hope is deeply committed to helping workrooms not just survive, but truly thrive with confidence, professionalism, and profit. In today's conversation, we're diving into what inspired her to create QUIPA, how it works, and the key problems it solves for workrooms everywhere. Topics Mentioned: Project management and pricing support Modernizing workrooms Simplified operations and communication Key Thoughts:  Modernizing workrooms in the custom soft furnishings industry to remain competitive is very important. The demand for efficiency and accuracy is increasing, and estimating and project management tools can provide assistance. The complexity of teaching the intricacies of window treatments prohibit many from hiring. Providing estimates quickly helps maintain project momentum and avoid losing clients due to delays.

Pharma commercial teams are generating more data than ever, but field intelligence is still arriving too late to change rep behavior before the engagement window closes. In this episode, Damion Nero, Global Head of Statistics at Daiichi Sankyo, joins Emerj editor Yolandi de Weerdt to examine why fragmented data pipelines, not a shortage of data, are the structural root of the gap between commercial insight and field execution. The conversation covers what separates teams that successfully adopt AI from those stuck in the pilot phase, and why starting with routine, high-certainty use cases consistently produces more commercial lift than chasing ambitious automation. This episode is sponsored by ODAIA. Learn how leading organizations approach AI investment more like a venture portfolio, and why interdisciplinary collaboration is critical to defining the right data for AI success.

Whether he's advocating for growers in D.C. or implementing the latest mechanical harvesting tech at home, he's at the forefront of the “next gen” movement. “We obviously have a lot of runway left with reaching higher consumption levels and, so, I just think there's a lot of light at the end of the tunnel on this, and it's something we don't have to fight tooth and nail for. I think as long as we make the right moves and stay conscious about the decisions we're making, I think this thing is naturally going to catapult itself into a new category in terms of consumption, people realizing the benefits and reaching new audiences. It's like we're so fortunate to be part of this.” – Brandon Raso Topics covered include: An introduction to Raso and his work. The history Raso represents as a fourth-generation grower.The impact he's having on the industry due to his involvement at the local and national levels. Where he sees the most potential for growth in the industry. Crop ReportThe Blueberry Crop Report is an update on crop conditions and markets throughout important blueberry growing areas.

She beat Bobby Flay with her Abuela's Arroz con Pollo. She trained under Wolfgang Puck, Thomas Keller, and José Andrés. She was a Hell's Kitchen finalist. And then she walked away from all of it to build a career entirely on her own terms.Chef Mia Castro is a Puerto Rican chef, cookbook author, food influencer, and TV personality, and her debut cookbook, Cocina Puerto Rico: Recipes from My Abuela's Kitchen to Yours, is already making waves. We're sitting down to talk about her full journey: from her Abuela's kitchen in San Juan to elite restaurant kitchens across Vegas, Miami, and New York, to the 6-year road it took to get this book published.We're talking about first-gen pressure, being the only woman in the room, hiding your identity to fit in, COVID FaceTime calls that accidentally created a cookbook, building a personal brand as a chef, what success actually looks like when you stop chasing the dream someone else gave you — and the dish that beat Bobby Flay.This one hit close to home for me. You know I started my whole digital career as a Puerto Rican food blogger.

Abuela is still asking Mia how to cook things at 90. That's the growth mindset right there.You don't have to hide where you come from to belong in elite spaces. Mia spent years feeling like she had to stifle the Puerto Rican to fit in — and her biggest wins came when she stopped doing that.There is no such thing as luck. There is opportunity combined with preparation. Build the portfolio, show up consistently, and be ready when the call comes.Pivoting is not failing. Walking away from restaurants was not giving up. It was choosing to build a version of success that actually fit her life.Time is the real flex. Making money is cool. Having the freedom to spend it the way you want? That's the whole point.Getting a book published as a Latina author is NOT a straightforward process. It took Mia 6 years, a writing coach, months to find an agent, and two more years from contract to shelf. Know the process before you romanticize it.Consistency is the brand strategy. Not viral moments. Not follower counts. Showing up so that when the opportunity finds you, you're already prepared.CONNECT WITH MIA:Instagram Website Buy Cocina Puerto RicoTAKE THE NEXT STEP:Yo Quiero Dinero Private MembershipRead my book, Financially Lit!Leave me a voicemailThis episode of Yo Quiero Dinero was produced by Heart Centered Podcasting.
