In Episode 310 of The Business Development Podcast, Kelly Kennedy sits down with Anders Liu Lindberg, a global thought leader in business partnering and one of the strongest voices shaping the future of finance today. Anders has built a reputation for turning finance teams into strategic powerhouses, helping CFOs and finance leaders move beyond reporting and compliance into real influence, better decision making, and measurable business impact. This conversation is a masterclass in why finance must evolve, and why the professionals who learn to partner with the business will become indispensable.Anders breaks down what business partnering actually is, why most finance teams struggle to earn a seat at the table, and how influence and communication are now just as critical as technical skill, especially as automation and AI accelerate. You will also hear Anders' philosophy on purpose, fulfillment, and building authority through consistency, the same mindset that helped him grow into one of the most trusted educators in the space. If you want to understand where finance is headed and why Anders is leading that change, this episode delivers.Key Takeaways: 1. Finance earns a seat at the table when it shows up to help leaders win, not to police budgets. 2. Business partnering is when functional experts translate their expertise into insights leaders can understand and use for better decisions. 3. Insights alone are not enough, because if you cannot influence decisions, your impact becomes zero. 4. The fastest way to build trust is to lead with empathy and partnership: “How can I help you meet and beat the budget” changes everything. 5. If finance shows up as the cold messenger of bad news, leaders will avoid them, but if finance shares ownership of outcomes, leaders will pull them closer. 6. AI and automation are shrinking the value of pure number crunching, so finance must get better at people skills like communication, relationship building, and influence. 7. You can teach “numbers people” to become stronger with people by giving them structure, tools, and repeatable frameworks they can practice. 8. Leaders should not just tell finance to “be strategic” and figure it out, they need to invest in training and create a clear path for that transformation. 9. Personal branding is not a hack, it is consistency plus authenticity over time, and your voice cannot be “wrong” when you are sharing real experience and perspective. 10. Passion comes and goes, but purpose creates staying power, and purpose plus passion is where fulfillment and long-term momentum come from. About Anders Liu-Lindberg: Anders Liu-Lindberg is a global thought leader in business partnering and finance transformation, helping finance teams evolve from reporting and control into strategic partners who drive real business outcomes. He runs the Business Partnering Institute, a worldwide hub for training, tools, and community built to raise the influence and impact of finance leaders (https://www.bpidk.org/), and he's also the author of Communicating Financials to Executives, a practical guide for turning numbers into clear, decision driving communication at the executive level (https://www.amazon.ca/Communicating-Financials-Executives-Anders-Liu-Lindberg/dp/1394292600).

 In Episode 123 of DC EKG, Joe Grogan sits down with Jackson Hammond (Senior Policy Analyst, Paragon Health Institute) to unpack what the latest CMS National Health Expenditure (NHE) data says about where U.S. health care is headed. They break down the June 2025 NHE release, compare it to Jackson's earlier “Paragon Prognosis” analysis, and explain what changed, what didn't, and what it means for affordability, Medicare, Medicaid, and long-run fiscal pressure. They also connect the spending outlook to Jackson's paper, “How to Reform the CMS Innovation Center with a Choice and Competition Approach,” and debate whether CMMI is bending the cost curve or just adding bureaucracy without accountability. Jackson argues we should aim for health care so affordable you barely need insurance. Chapters / Timestamps  00:00 – Intro + welcome  00:55 – Jackson's background: how he got into health policy  03:39 – Focus areas: Medicare, hospitals, drug pricing, PBMs, 340B  05:14 – What the NHE report is showing  06:14 – $5.2T → $5.6T → $8.6T: why the trajectory matters  08:00 – Why health spending isn't really “optional”  10:11 – Where the money is going: payer mix + per-enrollee costs  12:23 – Medicaid costs, provider taxes, and state financing tactics  15:58 – Medicare spending pressure and fiscal risk  21:06 – Misconception: “coverage = care”  26:18 – Why provider payments keep rising (post-COVID demand + consolidation)  33:01 – Rural care, consolidation, and the REH / hub-and-spoke model  40:08 – Drug pricing: retrospective vs prospective MFN  49:20 – 2026 outlook + closing thanks In This Conversation  • NHE 2025: what the June 2025 data confirms about spending growth and the federal share.  • Rising prices, flat health: why prices climb while outcomes lag.  • Medicare and Medicaid: why they remain major budget drivers.  • Coverage vs access: why an insurance card doesn't guarantee care or better health.  • Hospitals and consolidation: what's driving higher payments and fewer choices.  • Rural vs urban: why patients bypass local hospitals and what a better model could look like.  • Drug pricing: what MFN approaches might mean for costs and innovation.  • 2026: what Jackson expects next and what reform could realistically look like. Key Takeaways  • NHE data points to continued, unsustainable spending growth.  • Medicare and Medicaid drive long-term budget pressure.  • Consolidation and payment incentives shape prices as much as utilization.  • CMMI reform hinges on accountability, choice, and competition.  • Smarter drug pricing policy should lower costs without undermining innovation. About Our Guest  Jackson Hammond is a Senior Policy Analyst at the Paragon Health Institute focused on health spending, CMS policy, and reforms centered on choice, competition, and patient-centered care. He authors Paragon's “Paragon Prognosis” analyses and wrote “How to Reform the CMS Innovation Center with a Choice and Competition Approach.”

YOU ARE OBSOLETE: Why The Elites Are Panic Buying Gold (And How We Fight Back) DESCRIPTION: They don't think you're a citizen anymore. They think you're a pet.

Look, I'm not here to sugarcoat this for you.AI is replacing service providers left and right in 2026, and if you're offering one of these five services, you could be next.But before you panic and think this is some doom-and-gloom situation, let me be clear: I'm not here to fear-monger. I'm here to give you a wake-up call so you can pivot NOW instead of getting to the end of 2026 frustrated with your lack of clients, lack of growth, and wondering if you should have even started this business in the first place.After working with over 3,000 service providers, I've seen this shift happening in real time. I've watched podcast managers get replaced. I've seen copywriters who used to charge $20,000 now struggling to land $2,000 clients. I've watched VAs lose their entire roster because clients figured out ChatGPT can do 80% of what they were paying them for.The industry is changing, y'all. And we need to change with it.Here's what we're covering today: the five services getting hit the hardest by AI, real examples of how this is playing out right now, and most importantly, the exact pivot you need to make to stay relevant and charge premium prices.This might sting a little, but I promise I'm giving you a path forward—not just telling you the sky is falling.Topics Covered In This Episode:The shift from execution to strategic thinkingThe specific pivots needed for the 5 at-risk service categoriesReal behind-the-scenes insights from million-dollar businessesHow to add strategy layers for premium pricingWhy this is actually the best opportunity for service providers willing to evolveFind the full post at:  https://brandimowles.com/270Want More Like This? ⬇️

Nearly half of the skills banking leaders rely on today will be obsolete within five years. In this episode of Banking Transformed, Jim Marous explores why continuous learning has become the most critical leadership skill in financial services, and why failing to adapt is the fastest path to irrelevance. Jim shares the personal transformation that reshaped his career, explains how AI is accelerating the divide between learners and laggards, and outlines the daily habits leaders must embrace to stay relevant in a world where change will never be this slow again.

Has design work been made obsolete by tools like lovable?Lovable - https://lovable.dev/ Free Email Course - https://bootstrappersparadise.com/courseOnline Community - https://bootstrappersparadise.com/communityBootstrapper's Paradise - https://bootstrappersparadise.com/

By David Stephen What is the difference between any tool ever made or used by humans and artificial intelligence? What is the category among tools, that AI places? Humans have tools for transport, water, food, learning, shelter, clothing and so forth, but where does AI fit among these? Is Human Intelligence Obsolete? Neurosymbolic AI If AI is a tool to augment or assist human intelligence, is that comparable to [say] tools for transport because human motion is limited? Since the limitation is universal and all human endeavors do not involve efficient locomotion, whenever transportation tools advance, they rarely threaten jobs or survival at scale. Also, they are not absolutely automated or likely to self-improve. So, as machine transports soared beyond humans, they remained a capped tool. This is similar for several other kinds of tools, across eras. However, there is something quite misplaced with referring to artificial intelligence as a tool. Yes, it appears like what is under human control, especially because it is operated digitally, which is a click - or touch - user interface, that follows human control. But, everything to compare AI with, as a tool, never seems equal, including basic software. AI is also aiming at an efficiency benchmark at the level of valuable human intelligence. While it is true that human intelligence is special, it is subject to the laws of economics, especially demand, supply, price and value. The highest paying jobs, even where they are not connected directly with intelligence have something to do with high demand and low supply. And the possibilities for the highest value, in an era of capitalism, have something to do with business intelligence. AI is now at maturation of all human process knowledge - at least those in public domain. It can describe what it has not experienced. It can teach what it did not try. It can advise about where it has not been and cannot go. It now knows more than any human is capable. Among humans, one of the worst-case scenarios in a situation is to have a person play dumb, who isn't, up to the point of losing out. Another nightmare scenario is to have another human understand and decipher everything in a language or code, which is assumed by others that the individual cannot. AI does not have agency, it is often said. But how much should that 'fact' be relied on, given that it has thorough access to the basis of human knowledge, in language? AI is also sophisticated enough at this stage to be dangerous, either in the hands of a vengeful individual or when it gets some agency. AI is not just knowledgeable for work, but also intelligent enough to communicate and drive human feelings and emotions, where it can divert the need for another human. The risk, as it evolves is that emotions that should strengthen empathy [in reality] may not, resulting in emotion-less humans. This is a risk for caution and consequences as the basis for rules and law adherence in human society. The biggest problem of AI for now, is that as it improves there is nothing to tether human intelligence for improvement. There is no effort on anything about human intelligence, independent of any device or even AI. It is already AI-centered human intelligence. There is no human intelligence research lab anywhere on earth. OpenAI released GPT-5.2 in response to Google's Gemini 3. None of them decided that human intelligence might be the next step for good. Some people are saying large language models [LLMs] would never become artificial general intelligence [AGI] so there should be world models, spatial intelligence, neurosymbolic AI, neuromorphic AI and so forth, but all those do not count for what matters to human intelligence. There is talk about AI bubble and whether the stock market would withstand an AI crash. The crash, of human intelligence, that is about to sack organizations and nations, is worse than any AI recession. There is a recent analysis in The Los Angeles Times, They graduated fro...

Is traditional American religion doomed?Traditional religion in the United States has suffered huge losses in recent decades. The number of Americans identifying as "not religious" has increased remarkably. Religious affiliation, service attendance, and belief in God have declined. More and more people claim to be "spiritual but not religious." Religious organizations have been reeling from revelations of sexual and financial scandals and cover-ups. Public trust in "organized religion" has declined significantly. Crucially, these religious losses are concentrated among younger generations. This means that, barring unlikely religious revivals among youth, the losses will continue and accelerate in time, as less-religious younger Americans replace older more-religious ones and increasingly fewer American children are raised by religious parents. All this is clear. But what is less clear is exactly why this is happening. We know a lot more about the fact that traditional American religion has declined than we do about why this is so.Why Religion Went Obsolete: The Demise of Traditional Faith in America (Oxford UP, 2025) aims to change that. Drawing on survey data and hundreds of interviews, Christian Smith offers a sweeping, multifaceted account of why many Americans have lost faith in traditional religion. An array of large-scale social forces-everything from the end of the Cold War to the rise of the internet to shifting ideas about gender and sexuality-came together to render traditional religion culturally obsolete. For growing numbers of Americans, traditional religion no longer seems useful or relevant. Using quantitative empirical measures of big-picture changes over time as well as exploring the larger cultural environment—the cultural "zeitgeist"—Smith explains why this is the case and what it means for the future. Crucially, he argues, it does not mean a strictly secular future. Rather, Americans' spiritual impulses are being channelled in new and interesting directions. Christian Smith is the William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Sociology and Founding Director of the Center for the Study of Religion and Society at the University of Notre Dame. Smith is well known for his research focused on religion, adolescents and emerging adults, and social theory. He has written many books, including Divided by Faith: Evangelical Religion and the Problem of Race in America (with Michael O. Emerson), as well as Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers (with Melinda Lundquist Denton). Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

Is traditional American religion doomed?Traditional religion in the United States has suffered huge losses in recent decades. The number of Americans identifying as "not religious" has increased remarkably. Religious affiliation, service attendance, and belief in God have declined. More and more people claim to be "spiritual but not religious." Religious organizations have been reeling from revelations of sexual and financial scandals and cover-ups. Public trust in "organized religion" has declined significantly. Crucially, these religious losses are concentrated among younger generations. This means that, barring unlikely religious revivals among youth, the losses will continue and accelerate in time, as less-religious younger Americans replace older more-religious ones and increasingly fewer American children are raised by religious parents. All this is clear. But what is less clear is exactly why this is happening. We know a lot more about the fact that traditional American religion has declined than we do about why this is so.Why Religion Went Obsolete: The Demise of Traditional Faith in America (Oxford UP, 2025) aims to change that. Drawing on survey data and hundreds of interviews, Christian Smith offers a sweeping, multifaceted account of why many Americans have lost faith in traditional religion. An array of large-scale social forces-everything from the end of the Cold War to the rise of the internet to shifting ideas about gender and sexuality-came together to render traditional religion culturally obsolete.

Click here to sign up for a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.To stay up to date with Practi, subscribe to our newsletter at practi.ai/hello.On June 17, 2025, I presented live at LegalGeek in Chicago on the topic of integrating. Here are the top 5 takeaways:* AI is Rapidly Transforming Legal Practice.Artificial intelligence is accelerating changes in law firms, from automating routine tasks to enabling new business models. The adoption of generative AI has made it possible to handle complex, unstructured data and deliver legal services faster and more efficiently than ever before.* The Billable Hour is Obsolete.The traditional billable hour model is under pressure. As AI automates more legal work, clients increasingly value output and results over time spent. The billable hour could disappear within five years, replaced by value-based and alternative fee structures, like subscriptions.* Subscription and Alternative Fee Models Offer Major Advantages.Subscription-based and alternative fee arrangements provide pricing transparency, encourage client engagement, and align incentives for efficiency. These models help lawyers focus on long-term client relationships and accessibility, rather than maximizing short-term profits.* AI Enhances Client Service and Access to Justice.By leveraging AI tools, lawyers can serve more clients at lower costs, helping to close the access to justice gap. Subscription models make legal help more affordable and encourage clients to seek advice proactively, preventing problems before they escalate.* Cultural Change is Essential for the Future of Law.Embracing technology and new business models requires a cultural shift within the legal profession. This includes rethinking mentorship, collaboration, and how value is measured. Firms that adapt will reduce burnout, improve teamwork, and better meet evolving client needs.__________________________Sign up for Paxton, my all-in-one AI legal assistant, helping me with legal research, analysis, drafting, and enhancing existing legal work product.I've partnered with Pii to make it easy for you to purchase the hardware I use in my law firm: (1) Studio Setup; (2) Midrange Setup; (3) Highrange Setup.Get Connected with SixFifty⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a business and employment legal document automation tool.Sign up for ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Gavel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an automation platform for law firms.Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Law Subscribed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to subscribe to the weekly newsletter to listen from your web browser.Prefer monthly updates?

If you've ever checked the ingredients on a baked good, you know how ubiquitous eggs are. They bind, they lift, they emulsify, they hold moisture — they're simply the structural engineers of cookies, cakes, and muffins everywhere. But they're also volatile: prices spike, supply chains break, and for anyone with an egg allergy or who's avoiding eggs for animal welfare or environmental reasons, eggs aren't exactly a welcome ingredient to find on the ingredient deck.  Enter Hadar Ekhoiz Razmovich, CEO and co-founder of Meala FoodTech, an Israeli startup that's figured out how to make peas do what eggs and hydrocolloids do, and has consequently raised several million dollars in venture capital so far. Meala's breakthrough lies in taking simple pea protein and using advanced biotechnology to unlock its hidden abilities — creating a single-ingredient powder that they say can whip, bind, and gel just like an egg in baked goods and alternative meat. No multi-ingredient formulations, no methylcellulose, no animal inputs — just plants doing some biochemical magic.  In this episode, Hadar shares how her background in R&D led her to tackle one of food science's toughest challenges: replacing eggs and hydrocolloids without sacrificing texture, taste, or cost. We talk about how Meala's technology works, what it takes to convince industrial bakeries to swap eggs for peas, and why she believes clean-label ingredients like this are the future of food.  Hadar is not just rethinking what we eat, she and her team are rebuilding the food system from scratch, one cookie, cake, and croissant at a time.  Discussed in this episode  Meals is backed by The Kitchen Food Tech Hub, DSM's venture arm, Milk & Honey Ventures, Lasenor, and EIT.  Our past episode with Milk & Honey Ventures' Beni Nofech.  More on Meala's egg replacer, GroundBaker, is here.  You can see two pending patent applications of Meala's here and here.    Get to know Hadar Ekhoiz Razmovich  Hadar Ekhoiz Razmovich brings over 12 years of leadership experience in the global food industry, with a strong focus on driving innovation and R&D across traditional food sectors. Throughout her career, she has led complex, multidisciplinary projects from early concept development to full commercial launch, consistently bridging technological capabilities with real market needs.  In 2021, she founded Meala FoodTech with a mission to transform the food industry. Under her leadership, Meala is pioneering clean-label functional protein that deliver superior texture, bite, and mouthfeel—without compromise and without undesirable additives. Her work empowers food manufacturers to create simpler, more natural, and better-tasting products, setting a new benchmark for next-generation of food.  Hadar is widely recognized for her strategic vision, deep industry insight, and ability to translate scientific innovation into scalable commercial solutions.

Why Are Humans Making Themselves Obsolete? The AI & Robot Dilemma | Karel Cast 25-162 Humans seem strangely driven to erase their own relevance. From the explosive rise of robotics to the unstoppable push toward advanced AI, we're building machines that can do nearly everything we do — often better, faster, and cheaper. But here's the real question: Why? Why are we creating technology that replaces us instead of supports us? Why are we racing toward automation knowing it will eliminate millions of jobs? Why are humans so willing — even eager — to make themselves obsolete? Today, we dive deep into the psychology behind humanity's self-destructive tech obsession, explore what it means for our future, and break down the news of the day as only Karel can.
