Episode Summary: In this episode, Ann Pearson shares essential advice for paralegals considering the leap into freelance work. She underscores the importance of building a strong foundation first, highlighting why paralegals with fewer than five years of experience may not yet have the reputation or client base needed to thrive independently. Ann also explores common misconceptions about freelance work, warning against using it as a fallback when salaried roles are scarce. From losing benefits to navigating the saturated market of overseas competitors, she lays out the real challenges of going solo. Tune in for a grounded, practical perspective on whether freelancing is the right next step for your legal career. Key Takeaways: Freelance work requires a strong professional reputation and client base, often difficult for those with less than five years' experience to achieve. Consider the long-term benefits and career stability of traditional employment, such as retirement contributions and health insurance. The competitive field now includes foreign freelance paralegal firms offering lower rates, impacting local pricing. Operating a freelance business entails financial costs and logistical challenges that can impact profitability. Building a career within an organization first can lead to greater initial financial security and professional growth.

Sent us text! We would love to hear from you! Kindness costs nothing, yet lasts forever, pass it on. It seems there are more and more scams that we all have to be aware of. These scams are increasing in sophistication and can easily trap those who are unaware. Through sophisticated email, both of your Wingmen were almost victims of scams on the same day. Although the graphics were convincing, the suspicious email address, which was a dead giveaway. Autonomous cars are a reality, with autonomous flying cars to be operational in the future. Whether on the ground or in the air, these vehicles are likely to be commonplace before mid-century. Operating in an airborne environment requires considerably more development because of going up and down, essentially operating in the third dimension, vertical altitude in the sky. There will be no need for a pilot's license and the airborne vehicles will regulate their own behavior. Drones already perform missions of peace and war on a regular basis depending on whatever task the designer assigns to it. An example of a good news story that received little attention was that one of the world's richest people recently donated billions of dollars to several select charities. His ultimate goal is to give away almost all of his wealth upon his passing. In the developed world, there is a major push to reduce the number of undocumented immigrants. If you know anyone caught in such a position, get them to talk to an immigration lawyer as soon as possible. Meet a group of grateful wingmen who came to the rescue of another well established wingman, when the latter found himself in the midst of an unexpected medical crisis for which he was unprepared.

As word got out about Mobile Home Parks over the past five+ years, many new players emerged in the space. The fundamentals were appealing, but many underestimated the capital expenditures required and the multitude of operational challenges. Mobile Home Parks can be lucrative, but there are a ton of nuances and speed bumps on the way to stabilization. As many of these players have been unable to achieve their business plans, they're starting to exit their properties. Pasha Esfandiary, Managing Partner and CEO of Evoke Capital, is acquiring parks from these sellers and completing their value-add plans and achieving operational maximization.

Many of us (myself, and many of my clients)have a complicated relationship with ambition. We're high-achieving, smart women who know how to get things done.  But often, that productivity comes at a cost.    Burnout. Disconnection. Operating from hyper-masculine energy that pushes us past our limits. So, after burning out, we swing the other way. The feminine. The reclined, passive, soft energy.  But even in that softness, we start to wonder… Can I still want things? Can I still be ambitious and stay feminine?  Can I burn with desire for something and still honour my body? This episode dives into exactly that tension & how we can hold both.  Because ambition isn't unfeminine.   Success doesn't have to cost us our wellbeing.   Resources mentioned in this podcast:  Somatic Self Coaching - free guide  Primal Feminine Flow - at home embodiment practice  Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification - professional training

Episode overview: Andrew Hall faces a unique challenge: building profitable telecommunications infrastructure across one of Africa's largest countries with one of its smallest populations. As managing director of Paratus Namibia, Hall oversees operations spanning vast distances where traditional business models struggle to pencil out. Andile Masuku invites Hall to share on the realities of building networks where "you'll see three fibres running next to the road" instead of shared infrastructure, why COVID accelerated their consumer business, and how recent oil discoveries are reshaping Namibia's economic landscape. Key insights: - On geographic challenges: Namibia's vast distances and sparse population create unique infrastructure economics where covering remote areas requires careful return-on-investment calculations across extended payback periods. - On competitive landscape: Operating alongside two state-owned enterprises creates complex market dynamics where regulatory considerations and different organisational mandates influence infrastructure deployment strategies. - On infrastructure sharing: Despite logical benefits, competitive dynamics often result in duplicated infrastructure: "three towers standing next to each other" rather than collaborative deployment approaches. - On consumer versus enterprise: Traditional enterprise focus (75% of business) provided stability, but consumer growth since 2016 now drives expansion, particularly accelerated during COVID-19 periods. - On technology transitions: Moving from WiMAX limitations (4-10 Mbps) to fibre required strategic timing; balancing asset sweating against customer retention as bandwidth demands increased around 2018. Notable moments: 1. Hall's description of infrastructure redundancy: "If you drive down the road, you'll see three fibres running next to the road. If you're driving from one town to the other, you'll see two or three towers standing next to each other" 2. The COVID-19 catalyst: Consumer business performed "very, very well" as people became "100% reliant, work-wise, education-wise, entertainment-wise on connectivity" 3. Recent oil discoveries creating positive economic outlook with increased foreign investment interest and improved business confidence The development question: Hall addresses the expectation that telecoms should "unlock growth economically for an entire nation" by emphasising education as the foundation. Paratus's corporate social responsibility focuses on educational sector connectivity because "for children to have access to the internet, it makes the world a lot smaller." His perspective reflects broader African infrastructure challenges: balancing commercial sustainability with development impact, managing investor expectations whilst serving diverse stakeholder needs, and building institutional capacity in environments with limited technical specialisation. "I think access to the internet plays a crucial role. And I think it starts at grass root level in the form of education... for children to have access to the internet, it makes the world a lot smaller." Image credit: Paratus Namibia

Episode SummaryChris Varela didn't find creative ops. It found him—twice.The first time, he realized the work he was already doing had a name: solving friction between marketing and creative, protecting his teammates' time, and building systems that made the entire process more efficient, more effective—and frankly, more fun for everyone involved.The second time, his company realized it too. After years of Chris operating without a title—quietly translating between functions and elevating how work flowed—Workday came to the conclusion that this wasn't just helpful. It was a role. A needed one.In this episode, Chris and Nish explore how creative ops functions often start unofficially—through the instincts, empathy, and persistence of people like Chris. They also dig into how titles unlock collaboration, how AI is helping scale creative ops work, and how others can navigate that same journey of recognition.This episode is a guide for anyone who suspects they're doing something important—but unrecognized. And for anyone who wants to help their org see the work more clearly.Key TakeawaysYou might be doing creative ops already—whether or not your org (or you) knows it yet.Often, people recognize the impact before they recognize the role.Operating between marketing and creative is messy—but that's where value is created.Getting a title doesn't change the work. But it does change who asks for your help.Chris's story is a blueprint for turning invisible influence into visible leadership.Sometimes the first step in creative ops is helping your org recognize the role—by showing the impact you've already made.From Listening to Thinking: Is It Time to Name the Role You're Already In?Use these prompts to reflect solo—or open up space with your team:Are you doing creative ops work—but calling it something else?If your org had to describe your value in one sentence, would they get it right?What's one system or workflow you've shaped—even if unofficially?Who could benefit if your work was more visible, more named, more understood?How could your story help others name their own role—or help your org see what's missing?Guest: Chris Varela, PMP | Manager, Marketing and Creative Operations at WorkdayChris Varela didn't set out to lead creative ops—he just kept solving the right problems. First, he realized he was already doing the work. Then, over time, his organization came to the same conclusion.In this episode, he joins Nish to unpack the hidden path into creative operations—and what it looks like to help your company understand the role only after you've already been living it.

July 10 2025 Thursday Your Words Matter / Week 23 Operating In the Light #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT  'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'

When production becomes the North Star of manufacturing leadership, everything changes. Oscar, who has evolved from engineering manager to  leader of engineering and production at ALL Circuits, reveals the shift in mindset that's transformed their Guadalajara facility. His refreshingly practical approach centers on making production results the focal point for every department—from quality to efficiency to personnel.This conversation delves into one of manufacturing's most persistent challenges: talent management. Operating in Guadalajara's competitive EMS landscape requires innovative approaches to both recruiting and retention. Oscar shares his multi-pronged strategy: creating a genuinely welcoming work environment, providing meaningful challenges that keep team members engaged, investing in state-of-the-art equipment, and—most crucially—building internal talent pathways. Rather than merely competing for existing talent, ALL Circuits takes responsibility for developing its own workforce through dedicated training programs and mentorship structures designed to transform recent graduates into skilled manufacturing professionals.Perhaps most exciting is the discussion of ALL Circuits' recent acquisition, which integrates them into a global manufacturing family with facilities across Asia. The merger creates a fascinating opportunity for cross-pollination between ALL Circuits' automotive, and automated, manufacturing expertise and their new partners' consumer electronics specialization. As Oscar wisely notes, "Every day is a school day"—a philosophy that perfectly captures the continuous learning mindset driving manufacturing excellence at ALL Circuits. Filmed on location at ALL Circuits Guadalajara.

Bonus 10 - What happens when a former Army Ranger and Special Forces veteran finally reveals classified missions conducted during some of history's most volatile conflicts? Chris Brewer's military journey spans 24 remarkable years, from the reactivation of the 1st Ranger Battalion in 1974 to covert operations in Colombia during the Pablo Escobar era.In this gripping conversation, Chris takes us behind enemy lines into a world few civilians ever glimpse. Operating in civilian clothes with minimal support, his six-person team would check in just once weekly via HF radio to confirm they were still alive. While bombs exploded nightly in Bogota streets and gunfire erupted regularly, Chris and his team navigated this dangerous terrain while establishing a medical corpsman school as their cover mission. The real objective? A classified operation straight out of a Tom Clancy novel.Behind the tactical stories lies a deeply human journey. Chris opens up about raising his son as a single father while serving in Special Forces, depending on military friends to care for his child during deployments. His candid discussion of surviving rocket attacks and processing trauma offers rare insight into the psychological resilience required in elite military units. "You wake up and the first thing through your mind is I can't breathe," Chris explains, describing the aftermath of explosions that left him sleeping in rooms riddled with shrapnel.What makes Special Forces different from other military units? As Chris explains, "When there's only six of you, or 12 of you out there, all by yourself, a long way from home, you're probably not going to win very many gunfights." The key to survival isn't superior firepower but building relationships with local populations and understanding their needs—a philosophy that guided his entire career.Check out Chris's books "In the Shadows Between the Wars" and "Old Scroll Ranger" on Amazon to dive deeper into these declassified stories that shaped global security while remaining hidden from public view for decades. These firsthand accounts provide an unfiltered look at military service that will change how you understand modern warfare.Visit LandPirate.com to get your gear that has you, the adventurer, in mind.

You're not alone - and you might be exactly the kind of champion your organization desperately needs.When we surveyed agricultural leaders about what drives them crazy, the overwhelming response wasn't about competition or market pressures - it was about being stuck in organizations that resist positive change while they can clearly see the solutions.

MacroCycle is pioneering a revolutionary approach to plastic and textile waste, transforming how companies address sustainability challenges while maintaining cost parity with traditional materials. With $7.6 million in funding raised, this upcycling platform has developed breakthrough technology that can process contaminated and colored waste materials that traditional recycling methods cannot handle. In this episode of Category Visionaries, we sat down with Stwart Peña Feliz, Co-founder and CEO of MacroCycle, to explore how his team is creating high-quality recycled materials through an energy-efficient process that could reshape the entire recycling industry. Topics Discussed: MacroCycle's proprietary upcycling technology that combines damaged materials into high-quality products The shift from licensing technology to manufacturing products due to market demands for proven scale Strategic partnerships with food & beverage and fashion brands seeking recycled content The regulatory landscape driving mandatory recycled content requirements across Europe and US states Brand positioning challenges in sustainability versus profitability conversations The looming supply shortage: why there won't be enough recycled materials for the next decade Building founder brand recognition through distinctive visual identity and conference presence GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Pivot your business model based on customer feedback: Stwart initially planned to license MacroCycle's technology but discovered customers wouldn't adopt unproven technology at scale. Rather than forcing the original model, they shifted to manufacturing products directly, using a capital-light approach by renting existing petrochemical facilities. This pivot allowed them to prove their technology while generating revenue. B2B founders should remain flexible about their go-to-market approach and let customer readiness dictate strategy rather than forcing an idealized model. Position around regulatory compliance, not just benefits: While sustainability messaging resonates, Stwart found that regulatory pressure creates the strongest buying motivation. Upcoming EU and US state regulations will mandate minimum recycled content, creating penalties for non-compliance. Companies partnering early with MacroCycle gain supply chain advantages in a market facing a projected decade-long shortage of recycled materials. B2B founders should identify regulatory tailwinds in their industry and position their solution as compliance infrastructure rather than nice-to-have benefits. Achieve cost parity to eliminate buyer friction: Stwart learned that even environmentally conscious brands won't pay premium prices for sustainable solutions unless legally required. This insight drove MacroCycle's focus on reaching cost parity with traditional materials through their more efficient upcycling process. In commodity markets especially, B2B founders must match incumbent pricing to achieve adoption, using operational advantages rather than premium positioning to win market share. Underprice to accelerate fundraising momentum: Stwart used a counterintuitive fundraising strategy, deliberately undervaluing MacroCycle to generate multiple competing term sheets. Like pricing a $500K house at $400K to create bidding wars, this approach accelerated their fundraising timeline and ultimately achieved higher valuations through competition. B2B founders confident in their traction should consider strategic underpricing to create investor FOMO and compress fundraising cycles. Build distinctive founder brand in commodity spaces: Operating in recycling - a crowded commodity market - Stwart recognized the need for radical differentiation. He adopted a signature bright blue jacket for all conferences and presentations, creating instant recognition across continents. This visual branding became so effective that their lawyers suggested trademarking the color for recycling applications. B2B founders in commodity industries should invest heavily in memorable branding to stand out from undifferentiated competitors.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Send us fan responses! Money stacked in neat piles. A charismatic speaker flashing cash. A profound message about financial sovereignty hidden beneath a flashy exterior. Don Kilam delivers a raw, unfiltered crash course on how the American financial system really works—and how most people unknowingly participate in their own financial subjugation.At the heart of Kalam's message is a revolutionary concept: your legal name functions as a business entity that can either work for you or against you. "Some people call it the straw man," he explains. "I call it the business." This distinction forms the foundation of financial freedom in a country that was paradoxically "established on not paying taxes." The irony isn't lost on Kilam, who challenges listeners to question why Americans pride themselves on freedom while submitting to multiple layers of taxation on the same dollars.The revelations continue as Kilam dismantles common misconceptions about taxes and public funding. Municipal bonds, not tax dollars, fund roads and schools. Private families—not elected officials—ultimately control and benefit from government operations. Your Social Security number, far from being a badge of citizenship, functions as "the lowest number possible" in a matrix system designed to create liability and transfer wealth from the many to the few.What makes Kilam's teaching particularly valuable is his emphasis on practical application. He doesn't just illuminate problems; he offers solutions. Operating as a "foreign national" to the corporate system allows individuals to position themselves differently within the legal framework. Understanding the distinction between enrollment and registration reveals why some groups maintain wealth while others struggle. Learning to read contracts and applications as what they truly are—permission slips for others to use your assets—empowers people to make different choices.Ready to transform your understanding of money, identity, and freedom?

988: In this episode of Technovation, we feature a panel from the Metis Strategy Summit moderated by Metis Strategy's Co-Head of Executive Networks, Media, and Research Steven Norton, exploring how senior technology executives are aligning AI to their business strategy. Joining the conversation are Ryan Snyder, CIO of Thermo Fisher Scientific; Ramkumar Rayapureddy, CIO of Viatris; and Allen Fazio, CIO of Houlihan Lokey. Together, they share how their organizations are evolving from isolated AI pilots to holistic strategies grounded in business value, robust governance, and relentless data modernization. The panelists discuss the practical realities of establishing clear measurement frameworks, navigating the tension between centralized control and decentralized innovation, and leading cultural change as AI adoption accelerates across regulated and fast-moving industries.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! In the late 1800s, the Squirrel Cage Jail in Council Bluffs, Iowa, was touted as a revolutionary innovation in incarceration. A rotating "human hamster wheel" of cells promised security with minimal manpower. In reality? It turned into a logistical nightmare—and, some say, a spiritual one. Operating from 1885 to 1969, this bizarre vertical jail witnessed everything from despair to death… and apparently, some souls never checked out. Paranormal activity has been reported as far back as the 1950s, with even jailors refusing to sleep in their quarters. In this classic episode of The Grave Talks, we explore the unsettling legacy of this architectural oddity with Kat Slaughter, Director of the Squirrel Cage Jail and RailsWest Railroad Museum. Are the spirits of inmates still turning in their cells? Or has something else taken up residence in this rotating relic? This is Part Two of our conversation.
