What is needed to truly move the needle on health? Create more research, more trials on nutrient density, more advocacy? Or, as Martin Reiter, founder of RARE argues, create the next regen Nestlé or Unilever: a 100 billion (yes, that's a B) regenerative consumer goods conglomerate, with only better-for-you and better-for-the-planet brands. The demand is there; the current incumbents are unable to innovate in regen, as they are built on chemical ingredients.The story usually goes like this: a group of people sets up a food (or cosmetics) brand that is better for you and better for the planet. Much better ingredients, honest sourcing, actually healthy, not UPF, etc. Then they need some money and raise funds, keep building, scaling, and at some point, 10–15 years down the road, the founders get tired and want to take some money off the table. and their existing investors need to get out and return money to their LPs.Currently, their only option is to sell to an incumbent, which then unfortunately usually screws it up. They start tweaking the ingredients, squeezing farmer margins, etc. The original founders leave after a few frustrating years.Is there a better way? A permanent home for regen, good-for-you, good-for-the-planet brands? A regen Nestlé or Unilever, if you will?More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

Today I'm joined by neuroscientist and mitochondrial health expert Siobhan Mitchell to cut through the noise around mitochondria, inflammation, NAD, and what actually matters for energy, recovery, and brain health in midlife We unpack why mitochondria are not just “battery packs”, they are a master regulator of oxidative stress, immune signalling, and cellular aging.

Hear from Patagonia, Primark, Kantar and Nestlé on credible sustainability communications and how to deepen consumer trust in turbulent times. As consumers pay closer attention to brands' sustainability claims, the challenge is no longer solely what companies do, but how they explain it clearly and honestly. The second webinar in the series focuses on consumer-facing brands and retailers. We explore how to talk about complex topics such as supply chains, product impact and targets in a way that makes sense to everyday consumers – without overclaiming or greenwashing.  Discussion will cover what works (and what does not) in campaigns and product communication, approaches to avoiding greenwash and “greenhush” while staying ahead of regulation, and how to measure whether sustainability communication is building trust and influencing behaviour. Panellists include: Sarah Whittaker, head of sustainability communications, Primark Ozlem Senturk, senior partner, global sustainable transformation practice, Kantar Katja Seidenschnur, global head of sustainability nutrition, Nestlé  Wendy Savage, senior director, social impact and transparency, Patagonia This session was moderated by Ellen Atiyah, senior stakeholder engagement and sustainability communications manager, Innovation Forum.

What if playing it safe is actually keeping you from the life and relationships you truly want? Too often, fear convinces us to stay small, avoid discomfort, and stick to familiar routines, especially when it comes to our most important connections. The result? Missed opportunities for deep intimacy, vibrant trust, and authentic connection. It's a paradox: the very quest for comfort may be the greatest risk of all. In this episode, listeners are invited to challenge the idea that comfort equals happiness. Through inspiring stories and practical tools, the conversation explores how embracing courage, even in small, everyday ways, can lead to deeper, more meaningful relationships. Discover why facing fears (rather than running from them) is essential for personal growth and intimacy, and how a simple courage practice can transform both self-perception and connection with loved ones. Whether it's starting an uncomfortable conversation or supporting each other through life's uncertainties, this episode offers actionable steps to help anyone move from fear to flourishing in their relationships. Scott Simon is a thought leader, TEDx speaker, bestselling author, and founder of the Scare Your Soul movement, helping people transform their lives through small daily acts of courage. He's worked with the UN, Nestlé, Ritz Carlton, Logitech, and the Cleveland Clinic to build braver teams and more connected cultures. When he's not leading keynotes or designing transformative retreats, you'll find Scott chasing live music, journaling in strange airports, or hunting down the world's best hole-in-the-wall restaurants.   Episode Highlights 04:24 Overcoming the tendency to shrink back and building momentum through bravery and courage. 09:20 How embracing discomfort leads to growth and creativity. 16:16 How small actions outside your comfort zone can build courage and lead to transformative outcomes. 20:08 Challenging relationship norms for deeper bonds. 28:47 Unlocking authenticity through vulnerability in relationships. 32:10 Aligning courageous choices with core values in relationships. 35:30 Personal examples of standing in your truth. 39:56 Practicing self-awareness and micro acts of courage for relational growth.   Your Checklist of Actions to Take Start a daily courage practice: Each day, do one small thing that scares you or takes you out of your comfort zone, just as the guest recommends. Pause and check in with yourself: Before difficult conversations, take a moment to breathe deeply and center yourself, allowing self-awareness to guide your next steps. Reflect on your core values: Use your values as a filter when deciding which courageous actions to take in your relationships. Initiate honest conversations: If you're holding back something important, practice being the one to "go first" and share vulnerably, even if it feels risky. Name your feelings in real-time: During tough moments, state what you're experiencing physically or emotionally (e.g., "My heart is racing right now"), to foster connection and authenticity. Seek support for brave actions: Engage a partner or friend to do something courageous together, which can increase commitment and make the experience richer. Replace silence with authentic sharing: Consider what keeping quiet is truly serving, and choose to communicate openly instead of bottling things up. Practice small acts of kindness: Try courage-building social acts, like initiating a friendly conversation or buying someone a coffee, to strengthen your confidence and connectedness.   Mentioned Scare Your Soul (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) David Schnarch (*Wikipedia link) Conscious Loving (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free guide)   Connect with Scott Simon Websites: scottsimon.us | scareyoursoul.com Instagram: instagram.com/scareyoursoul Substack: scareyoursoul.substack.com

UU. de buscar petróleo, mientras Delcy Rodríguez asume la presidencia en Venezuela. España y otros países europeos reclaman a Trump que respete Groenlandia, una isla rica en recursos.

What if the biggest barrier to innovation in your organization isn't lack of ideas, budget, or talent—but fear?Tom Fishburne, the Marketoonist, whose cartoons have appeared in more marketing decks than most actual strategies joins Marc and V to reveal why corporate fear is sabotaging innovation, and the surprisingly simple tool that breaks through it.With his weekly cartoons reaching over 500,000 readers and experience at General Mills, Nestlé, Method Products, and HotelTonight, Tom has spent two decades documenting what actually stops good ideas from becoming reality.In this conversation, we explore:The "Scolded Syndrome": The DBS Bank story where fear of being "scolded" paralyzed an entire organization until one senior executive squatted in a corner holding his earlobes and changed everythingWhy fear kills innovation faster than any competitor: How "I might get scolded" becomes the silent phrase that stops transformationThe simple tool hiding in plain sight: Why humour isn't just comic relief—it's Apple's "most powerful tool to drive fear out of the system"From business school to half a million readers: The terrifying moment a Harvard professor threw Tom's first cartoon on an overhead projector, and how that panic became a callingThe pressure release valve every team needs: How humour defuses tension, unlocks honest conversations, and enables better decision-makingWhy you're juggling unicycles on pogo sticks: The impossible "more with less" paradox and how to survive it without breakingTom reveals how he's used cartoons to navigate impossible client situations, transform hierarchical cultures at major banks, and help teams move from fear-based paralysis to innovation-driven action. This isn't about becoming funnier—it's about becoming braver.The takeaway: Innovation doesn't die because we lack good ideas. It dies because we're too afraid to voice them, test them, or defend them. And the antidote isn't another framework or process it's giving people permission to be human.If you've ever felt your team second-guessing every decision, if "we might get in trouble" stops more initiatives than budget constraints, or if innovation feels like performance theater rather than actual progress this episode offers a path forward.Featured in this episode:Tom Fishburne, The Marketoonist Creator of 23 years of weekly marketing cartoonsPublished author and contributor to NYT, Fast Company, Wall Street JournalTED speaker on "The Power of Laughing at Ourselves at Work"TIMESTAMPS/CHAPTERS00:00 - 04:30 | The First Laugh That Changed EverythingTom's origin story: the terrifying moment a Harvard Business School professor put his first cartoon on an overhead projector in front of 80...

One on One Video Call W/George https://tidycal.com/georgepmonty/60-minute-meetingSupport the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USIn this powerful episode of the True Life Podcast, host George Monty delivers a hard-hitting “daily transmission” exposing how corporations and systems deliberately manufacture scarcity to drive profits, control populations, and prevent true abundance from reaching everyday people. Drawing on real-world examples from food, housing, medicine, and more, George reveals the patterns of consolidation, surplus destruction, and artificial shortages that keep society desperate and divided. He calls for recognition, documentation, and rebellion against this “scarcity weapon,” urging listeners to investigate local resources and demand the withheld plenty.

Five years ago, we started Leader Generation with a simple premise: clients learning from clients. This year proved why that matters. In 2025, CEOs and their leadership teams stopped debating whether to adopt AI and began wrestling with harder questions: How do we bring our people along? How do we measure what matters instead of what's easy to measure? How do we maintain the relationships that built our business while transforming how we operate? Excerpts from these ten conversations capture what worked. Not theory—actual results from CDOs, COOs, and VPs leading change at companies like Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits, DoubleVerify, and Digital Remedy. The full episodes are linked in this post. Stuart Goldstein explains why technology is the easy part, and people are where transformations actually stall. Alan Wizemann describes how his team measures success by the time freed up for employees to do valuable work, not headcount reduction. Anna Jankowska walks through preparing teams for scenarios they don't expect, because that's where you see who's ready to lead. These aren't polished case studies. They're candid conversations about the messy reality of leading change when your board wants results, your team is exhausted, and the playbook keeps changing. If you're heading into 2026 with aggressive goals and limited patience for more consultants telling you what you already know, these episodes cut through the noise. They're built for leaders who need to make decisions Monday morning, not attend another conference about the future of work.

This week is a classic “how did we get here?” episode — starting with the pain of losing a recording, then jumping into what's been happening in our world, from a surprise New York Times mention to a hospitality-heavy event with Mazzer at Sightglass. We talk about what makes coffee service feel special without getting stuck in inside-baseball language, and how energy, flow, and intention can shape the whole experience. From there we spiral into specialty coffee in places built for speed, using Downtown Disney as the example: expectations, wait times, identity, and why “special” has to be obvious and deliver fast if it's going to work in high-volume environments. We close out nerding on espresso size and extraction trends — how coffee's swung from tiny ristretto culture to modern big shots — and what all of that says about where coffee (and our own work) is headed.

What if the most game-changing shift in your life is a three-letter word you've been afraid to use?In this episode of Men Talking Mindfulness, hosts Will Schneider and Jon Macaskill sit down with Jim Alling—former President of Starbucks, COO of T-Mobile USA, and CEO of TOMS—to explore how the simple word yes, paired with gritty gratitude and servant leadership, can transform the way men lead, live, and relate.Jim shares how saying yes to the right things—family, values, service, and curiosity—helped him navigate massive responsibility: tens of thousands of employees, billions in revenue, and the pressure of leading globally recognized brands. He also gets honest about the real cost of hustle culture, what burnout feels like at the top, and why the most effective leaders are often the most human.In this conversation, you'll hear:• How one mentor at Starbucks taught Jim the “power of yes”• Why he chose family and his child's health over a secure corporate path• What gritty gratitude looks like when life is hard—not polished• The difference between performative leadership and servant leadership• Why men who “have it all together” often feel empty inside• How to say yes without becoming a doormat (values, boundaries, clarity)• How humility, humor, and service kept Jim grounded across Nestlé, Starbucks, T-Mobile, and TOMSIf you're a man caught between success and burnout—or you lead people and want to make a real difference without losing your soul—this episode is for you.You'll walk away with:✅ A new understanding of yes as a doorway to purpose✅ A servant-leadership blueprint that still delivers results✅ Tools to integrate gratitude into pressure and responsibility✅ Encouragement to lead as your whole self—not just your titleSponsorPeptides for Health by Mark L.

Is it possible to build community within AI? Can we challenge search engines to put humanity and the truth at the forefront of their outputs? According to Troy Snyder, astrology student turned entrepreneur, the answer is ... maybe. In this episode, Tessa Burg and Troy examine the balance between technology and humanity. They discuss the challenges of having AI determine what is “true,” how brands can stay authentic and build trust in an increasingly automated world, and even how to view AI through an astrology lens.  Leader Generation is hosted by Tessa Burg and brought to you by Mod Op.  About Troy Snyder: For more than three decades, Troy has operated at the frontier of digital innovation—helping to guide the evolution of streaming from early SD pipelines to HD, 4K, the first waves of VR, and early AI efforts—while studying the timeless frameworks that have shaped human understanding for thousands of years. Troy has led the creation of authentication systems, video CMS architectures, large-scale distribution networks and multiband rural wireless. He has also contributed to emerging AI-driven digital identity tools with Mebot.ai where “Human AI” and how we create true lifelike representations of self in the AI age is explored. Beyond his work in digital innovation, Troy is committed to long-term social impact. He serves as founder and chairman for Wonderful Foundations, a charity that owns and supports 27 schools serving more than 15,000 kids. This effort reflects Troy's belief that technology and infrastructure should exist in service of human potential. In addition to being a technologist, Troy is also a practicing Vedic astrologer whose work spans invention, executive leadership, creative production, fundraising and systems engineering, always with an eye toward the deeper patterns that connect technology, people and purpose.

Trotz starker Marken wie Nescafé, Mövenpick oder Wagner-Pizza sehen viele Analysten Nestlé aktuell kritisch. Wir erklären, warum das Wachstum stockt, welche strukturellen Probleme den Konzern belasten und wieso selbst Premiumprodukte nicht mehr automatisch Stabilität garantieren. Besonders relevant: Die Folgen niedriger Geburtenraten, der Preisdruck durch Eigenmarken und eine Bilanz, die von Übernahmen und Abschreibungen gezeichnet ist. Dieses Video zeigt, weshalb erfahrene Anleger derzeit Zurückhaltung üben – und worauf sie vor einem Neueinstieg warten.

C'est dans les pages du Monde et sur les ondes de Radio France que l'affaire éclate, le 30 janvier 2024. Les deux médias révèlent une fraude colossale opérée depuis plusieurs années par les producteurs d'eau en bouteille. En particulier par le groupe Nestlé, numéro un du secteur.Le groupe, qui commercialise les marques Hépar, Contrex, Vittel et Perrier, a utilisé des traitements et des filtres sur ses eaux de sources, pourtant censées être naturellement pures, afin de conserver le label d'eaux minérales naturelles. Car en réalité les sources Nestlé, dans le Gard et dans les Vosges, sont polluées par des bactéries, des pesticides et des PFAS, les polluants chimiques éternels. Cette fraude aurait rapporté trois milliards d'euros au groupe Nestlé.L''enquête des journalistes révèle plus grave encore : l'Etat, mis au courant de cette fraude dès 2021, n'a rien fait pour l'empêcher et a même aidé Nestlé à la dissimuler.Comment cette fraude est-elle devenue une affaire d'Etat ? La santé des consommateurs a-t-elle été mise en danger ? Va-t-il y avoir des sanctions ? Réponses dans cet épisode du podcast « l'Heure du Monde » avec Stéphane Mandard, journaliste au service Planète du Monde qui suit le dossier depuis plusieurs mois.Un épisode d'Adélaïde Tenaglia. Réalisation : Thomas Zeng. Présentation et suivi éditorial : Claire Leys.

Massenentlassungen, BIP-Rückgang und viel Unsicherheit: Die Schweizer Wirtschaft kämpft mit Problemen. Aus der Politik werden einerseits Forderungen nach einer Entlastung der Unternehmen laut. Andererseits kritisieren die Gewerkschaften die stagnierenden Löhne. Was ist zu tun? Die Schweizer Wirtschaft steht unter Druck. Die kürzlich publizierten Zahlen des Staatssekretariats für Wirtschaft (Seco) zeigen: Das Bruttoinlandprodukt ist im dritten Quartal 2025 um 0,5 Prozent gesunken. Gleichzeitig streichen grosse Firmen wie Novartis, Selecta oder Nestlé insgesamt mehrere hundert Stellen in der Schweiz. Was ist los mit der Schweizer Wirtschaft? Ist die Talsohle erreicht oder ist ein weiterer Rückgang der Wirtschaftsleistung zu befürchten? Und welche Rolle spielt dabei der Zollstreit mit den USA? Die Entwicklungen beeinflussen nicht nur die Arbeitslosenquote, sondern auch die Löhne. Der Gewerkschaftsbund fordert, dass es bei den Löhnen aufwärts geht. Der Arbeitgeberverband warnt: Es brauche Augenmass bei der Lohnrunde. Doch wie steht es tatsächlich um die Kaufkraft der Angestellten? Nimmt sie zu oder ab? Bund will Unternehmen entlasten Der Bundesrat hat vergangene Woche ein Paket von 28 Massnahmen verabschiedet, das zur regulatorischen Entlastung der Unternehmen führen soll. Zu den Massnahmen gehören unter anderem Entlastungen bei der Anmeldung von Kurzarbeit oder im Bereich der Mehrwertsteuer, der Verrechnungs- und der Stempelsteuer. Macht der Bund genug für die Unternehmen oder muss er die Bürokratie weiter abbauen? Und wie steht es um die Angestellten? Gemäss der Gesundheitsbefragung 2025 der CSS fühlen sich 69 Prozent der Befragten häufig erschöpft und müde. Muss die Politik Arbeitnehmende stärker schützen? Zu diesen Fragen begrüsst Sandro Brotz am 5. Dezember 2025 in der «Arena»: – Franziska Ryser, Nationalrätin Grüne/SG; – Benjamin Giezendanner, Nationalrat SVP/AG; – Daniel Lampart, Chefökonom Schweizerischer Gewerkschaftsbund; und – Stefan Brupbacher, Direktor Swissmem.

En Haïti, les habitants de Pont-Sondé ont subi à nouveau samedi soir (29 novembre 2025) les assauts meurtriers du gang Gran Grif, considéré par l'ONU comme le plus violent de la région. Dans cette localité du Bas-Artibonite, plus d'une dizaine de personnes sont mortes et une vingtaine de maisons ont été incendiées, selon un bilan encore provisoire communiqué par des organisations locales. Le 3 octobre 2024 déjà, le gang Gran Grif avait fait plus de 70 morts à Pont-Sondé. Hier (2 décembre 2025), la ville était presque déserte. Selon plusieurs témoignages recueillis par Ronel Paul, l'attaque de ce week-end a été encore plus violente que la précédente. Si le gang Gran Grif s'acharne ainsi contre Pont-Sondé, c'est parce que c'est «une zone stratégique», explique le journaliste de RFI. Les criminels cherchent à contrôler le marché de cette localité ainsi que des axes routiers essentiels.   San Francisco contre la malbouffe et les aliments ultratransformés San Francisco a lancé ce mardi (2 décembre) une procédure judiciaire contre Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Mars ou bien encore Nestlé. Au total, ce sont 10 géants des aliments ultratransformés qui sont visés. «10 entreprises qui fabriquent certains des aliments et des boissons les plus populaires du pays», note le New York Times. Ces produits ultratransformés aux emballages colorés représentent 70% de ce que l'on trouve dans les supermarchés étasuniens, précise encore le quotidien. Et ils sont responsables d'une «crise nationale de santé publique», écrit le San Francisco Standard. L'obésité, le diabète de type 2, des maladies cardiovasculaires, le cancer et une détérioration cognitive... voilà les problèmes de santé liés à la consommation de cette malbouffe, précise le quotidien argentin Infobae. Des problèmes de santé qui plombent les finances de San Francisco, peut-on lire dans la plainte déposée par la ville démocrate. Selon le San Francisco Standard, la ville accuse ces entreprises d'avoir chimiquement conçu ses produits afin de rendre les gens addicts, de les commercialiser de manière trompeuse en les présentant comme nutritifs et de cibler les communautés noires et latinos.Difficile de dire si cette plainte va aboutir. Mais le San Francisco Standard fait remarquer que la ville a déjà enregistré, par le passé, des victoires en matière de santé publique. Autre signe encourageant : le ministre de la Santé, Robert Kennedy Junior, est lui aussi contre la nourriture ultratransformée.   Inquiétudes au sujet des tensions à la frontière entre le Pérou et le Chili Samedi 29 novembre, le Pérou a déclaré l'état d'urgence face à une arrivée de migrants, essentiellement vénézuéliens, en provenance de son voisin. Des migrants inquiets après les menaces du candidat de l'extrême droite à la présidentielle chilienne, José Antonio Kast qui promet des expulsions massives s'il remporte le second tour qui se tiendra le 14 décembre, rappelle El Comercio. Lundi (1er décembre), les ministres des Affaires étrangères des deux pays se sont vus pour définir «une réponse migratoire bilatérale». Ils se sont mis d'accord sur plusieurs mesures : patrouilles communes à la frontière, renforcement des échanges d'informations entre les deux pays et création d'un comité qui se réunira dès la semaine prochaine...Le quotidien péruvien rappelle que, depuis plusieurs années, les deux voisins entretiennent «une relation saine» et ont développé «des liens économiques et sociaux» forts. Il ne faudrait pas qu'un plan d'expulsions massives vienne affecter cette bonne entente, s'inquiète El Comercio qui presse les autorités péruviennes d'agir sans attendre le 14 décembre. Le pays doit anticiper «une possible vague migratoire en provenance du Chili» et doit être en mesure de garantir la maîtrise de ses frontières tout en respectant les droits des migrants. «Il n'y a que comme ça que le Pérou pourra protéger ses intérêts nationaux tout en défendant la dignité humaines des sans-papiers», insiste El Comercio.   Comment Nicolas Maduro a renforcé sa sécurité En public, Nicolas Maduro apparaît souriant, détendu, nonchalant même. Il danse et poste des vidéos de propagande sur TikTok, raconte le New York Times. En privé, le président au pouvoir depuis 12 ans et qui ne compte pas partir, prend ses précautions.  Il est toujours aussi présent dans la vie des Vénézuéliens, s'adressant à eux presque tous les jours. Mais «il participe de moins en moins à des événements prévus et à des émissions en direct, préférant les apparitions surprises et les messages enregistrés à l'avance», souligne le New York Times.Autre mesure de sécurité : Nicolas Maduro change de téléphones portables et de lits, enfin d'endroits où il dort régulièrement, écrit le journal. Nicolas Maduro, qui craint d'être trahi, a également donné plus de poids à ses gardes-du-corps cubains et a augmenté le nombre d'agents du renseignement cubains dans les rangs de l'armée vénézuélienne, révèle également le quotidien.Pour Nicolas Maduro, la menace vient surtout de l'intérieur. «La plus grande crise (que connaît le régime), c'est une crise de légitimité», estime dans les colonnes du New York Times, Andrés Izarra, ancien ministre de Nicolas Maduro, qui a rompu avec le régime et vit désormais en exil. Nicolas Maduro a perdu les élections de l'été dernier (2024) et le soutien du peuple. Mais il est dans le déni complet et refuse d'admettre que le pays le déteste, ajoute Andrès Izarra. Selon lui, même si les navires de guerre américains s'en vont, les problèmes de Nicolas Maduro ne seront pas terminés.   Au Venezuela, les cryptomonnaies pour préserver son pouvoir d'achat Au Venezuela, l'économie se dégrade de nouveau.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to us about all she's learned from the numerous guests on the show recently, from startup founders who build AI to simplify the chaotic insurance back office, to innovation leaders in Fortune 500 firms wrestling with ethics, regulation, and talent shortages. After dozens of conversations here's what Sabine has learned: AI isn't just changing our tools. It's changing our temperament. This episode is her reflection on those lessons; a guide for leaders and builders trying to navigate this new age of intelligence and unpacks five principles that define successful AI adoption. KEY TAKEAWAYS When Branch Insurance introduced AI into its claims process, something unexpected happened. It wasn't the customers who resisted, it was the adjusters. They were worried, not because AI made mistakes but because it didn't. When Lisa Bechtold's (who led AI governance at Zurich Insurance, now at Nestlé) team started implementing AI, they faced the classic dilemma: Move fast or move right. Lisa said: “We don't see governance as slowing innovation – we see it as enabling trust at speed.” ERGO Group worked with CamCom, a startup from India that uses computer vision to detect car damage from photos or drones. The tech was brilliant. The challenge? Integrating it into a multinational insurer's process. They didn't just hand over the product, they sat side by side – engineers, adjusters, compliance officers, even lawyers – to make it work. It took nearly a year to get from pilot to production and the result wasn't just faster claims; it was a new relationship model. The startup learned how corporates think. The corporate learned how startups move. That's the real win. After all the talk about data, systems, ethics, and pilots, what really matters is how humans evolve. AI won't replace people, but people who know how to use AI will replace people who don't. That's not a threat, it's an invitation. AI is already changing what we expect from talent. Claims adjusters now need to interpret AI outputs. Underwriters must question models. Leaders must learn to manage digital teammates. BEST MOMENTS  ‘Intelligent tool don't remove human judgment; they reveal it in higher resolution.'  ‘In this AI era, trust is the new currency.'‘Every AI dream dies in the shadow of bad data.'‘The irony is that the more intelligent our systems become, the more human our leadership must be. Empathy, creativity, ethics aren't data points, they're our differentiators.' ABOUT THE HOST Sabine is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur. She is the CEO and Managing Partner of Alchemy Crew a venture lab that accelerates the curation, validation, & commercialization of new tech business models. Sabine is renowned within the insurance sector for building some of the most renowned tech startup accelerators around the world working with over 30 corporate insurers, accelerated over 100 startup ventures. Sabine is the co-editor of the bestseller The INSURTECH Book, a top 50 Women in Tech, a FinTech and InsurTech Influencer, an investor & multi-award winner.

From her insights working with technical founders, Shayne lays out her playbook for building resilient, memorable brands in complex industries. Whether you're leading a high-growth tech venture or steering strategy in a legacy sector, this interview offers the candid perspective and actionable inspiration today's business decision-makers crave.About Rachel Rachel Shayne is a fractional CMO and brand strategist known for translating complex clean-tech and energy science into market conviction.

"If you don't drive, you will be driven," says Natasha Madan, the head of marketing at Intuit Credit Karma. "You have to play offense, you cannot be playing defense." That leadership philosophy has helped Natasha navigate from marketing candy brands at Nestlé to building Prime's brand strategy at Amazon, and now helping millions of people make financial progress. She believes marketers struggle to connect brand marketing with growth marketing, creating a gap that limits their impact. Today on Building Better CMOs, she and Marketing + Media Alliance CEO Greg Stuart discuss why marketing needs to bridge brand and performance, how understanding consumer psychology drives breakthrough creative, and why leadership means making tough decisions people may not initially like. They also explore the deep relationship people have with money, the power of AI-driven personalization, and why clarity is kindness in both parenting and managing teams.

Today's Headlines: Hurricane Melissa tore through the Caribbean just as feared, leaving dozens dead and catastrophic damage across Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti before weakening to a Category 1 on its way to the Bahamas. Nearly 80% of Jamaica is still without power, and hundreds remain missing across the islands. In Gaza, Israel resumed airstrikes that killed around 100 people after a soldier was shot in Rafah — but quickly announced the ceasefire was back on. Hamas says it's delaying the return of hostage remains in response to the strikes. Trump, meanwhile, is still globe-trotting — now in South Korea, where he announced the U.S. will share sensitive nuclear submarine technology, one of the country's most tightly guarded military secrets. This comes months after North Korea bragged about its own nuclear-powered sub. Back home, a new Pentagon memo ordered all 50 states, D.C., and U.S. territories to form “quick reaction forces” — over 23,000 National Guard troops trained for riot control — to respond to potential unrest. The administration also indicted its first Gen Z political figure: 26-year-old Illinois Democrat Kat Abughazaleh, charged with assaulting an ICE officer during a protest — charges that could carry up to 14 years in prison. On the money front, the Senate symbolically voted against Trump's 50% tariffs on Brazil (which won't actually change anything), the Fed cut interest rates another 0.25%, and the shutdown continues as millions risk losing food aid. The Dow hit a record 48,000 — mostly thanks to AI stocks — even as layoffs surge at UPS, Nestlé, and Amazon. And in some good news for once, philanthropist Mackenzie Scott donated $60 million to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy and another $38 million to Alabama State University — the largest gift in the HBCU's 158-year history.

The News RundownSteve leads off with the latest tariff turmoil, as trade negotiations between the U.S. and Canada stall amid the Trump administration's response to an ad created and paid for by the Ontario government running in U.S. media whose key auto  sector is endangered by Trump trade policies. They also explore luxury corporate earnings, where Hermès continues to shine, while.  Gucci owner Kering struggles to regain footing. Meanwhile, Mattel falls short as retailers tighten orders ahead of the holidays.The discussion then turns to job cuts at Target, Amazon, GM, and Nestlé, revealing how automation, AI, and tariff pressures are reshaping corporate structures, before turning to  Amazon's plan to replace up to 600,000 roles with robotics. They also cover ChatGPT's meteoric rise to No. 2 in product search, challenging Google and signaling a shift in how consumers discover products.Throughout, they underscore the precariousness of retail confidence heading into the holiday season — from Tractor Supply's cautious guidance to Deckers' HOKA sales slowdown.Blank Canvas Strategy: Finding Retail's 'New Earth'In the second half, Steve introduces "Blank Canvas Strategy"— a methodology for retailers to reimagine their businesses from the ground up, free from legacy constraints. Unlike Blue Ocean Strategy, which focuses on discovering compltey untapped markets, this framework helps brands reinvent their core business models before disruption makes them irrelevant.Steve urges leaders to recognize when their "planet" (current business model and market domain) becomes uninhabitable, and to begin building "Earth Two" — an alternative growth destination. Together, the hosts examine why incremental change doomed once-iconic retailers like Blockbuster, Sears, and Pier 1, and how others like Dick's Sporting Goods and RH (Restoration Hardware) succeeded by boldly innovating their business designs.They close by discussing how executives can carve out time, treasure, and talent for R&D, overcome the fear of cannibalization, and lead with the courage to disrupt themselves before competitors do.After the focused content discussion it's on to the most remarkable stories of the week, including Walmart's massive commitment to deploying 90 million supply-chain sensors to track pallets and fresh-food products.The episode wraps with what needs to be on everyone's radar screens. One recommendation: keep your eyes on "GU" the first U.S. store fromUniqlo's parent company, Fast Retailing.
