Don't miss the last episode of this week with Cargo Spectre's Jason Joachim and Rohan Bhagwat! Jason and Rohan delve into how they've solved the age-old freight measurement headaches, especially the challenge of inaccurate dims causing added costs. They also explain how their system uses AI-powered automation to capture legal-for-trade dimensions, weights, pictures, and even NMFC classifications in just one second—no moving parts, no manual input! If you're tired of reclass fees, packaging mistakes, and delayed audits, you need to hear how this tech is changing the game in freight operations, density-based pricing, and supply chain efficiency!   About Jason Joachim and Rohan Bhagwat Jason got his start in warehousing earlier than most at age 13. He was a write-up guy for OS&D at his dad's warehouse. At 22, he graduated from college and managed his dock. Through that nine years, he always thought there was a better way to process freight. As a manager, his biggest headache was paying 18 write-up guys to measure freight while having 15 office employees ask him why they can never measure right.  Rohan began his career in the Ocean Freight industry in 2019, undertaking diverse roles across Sales, Marketing, and Operations. He was introduced to Cargo Spectre at the Transport Logistic show in Munich and subsequently joined the team full-time as Head of Sales in 2022. Since then, he successfully led numerous initiatives, including quadrupling the company's growth, achieving legal for trade certification for their dimensioners in Canada, and introducing innovative tools to better support their LTL shipping community.   Connect with Jason and Rohan Website: https://www.cargospectre.com/  Contact: (833) DIM-HELP LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cargo-spectre/

On today's Part 2 episode, Gary Bird joins Mark in an in-depth conversation on how dental practices can unlock serious growth through smarter systems, strategic pricing, and AI integration. Gary shares powerful insights into the rise of AI receptionists, how they're changing the way practices manage phone calls, scheduling, and follow-ups—and why they're not quite ready to fully replace humans. He breaks down the real reasons practices miss out on ROI, including poor call handling, lack of follow-up, and scheduling gaps.   You'll also learn why distinguishing between leads and qualified leads matters more than you think, and how block scheduling can make or break your growth. Plus, Gary dives into one of the most controversial topics in dental marketing: pricing. He explains why discounting can attract the wrong crowd and how strategic, data-driven pricing wins in competitive markets. If you're serious about scaling without sacrificing your margins, this episode is a must-listen. Be sure to check out the full episode from the Dentalpreneur Podcast!

We are on the cusp of a significant transformation in the world of work, with HR and Talent teams currently at the frontline of change. CHROs face unprecedented questions about the impact of agentic AI on the structure of organisations and the continuing need for agility and adaptation as skills go in and out of relevance at an ever-accelerating pace. The most innovative CHROs are looking in two directions - collaborating with IT teams in entirely new ways and studying how product teams operate with their test-learn-iterate mindset. Over the last few years, talent acquisition has often been more exposed to constant tech experimentation and workflow optimization than their HR colleagues. So could TA Leaders play a significant role in driving this workforce transformation? My guest this week is Amy Schultz, VP Market Development & Operations for RPO at Korn Ferry ANZ. Amy brings a unique perspective from a career spanning agency, RPO, and senior in-house roles at LinkedIn and Canva. In our conversation, she shares her belief that TA's natural product mindset and tech experience well-position recruiting teams to guide HR's evolution from fixed programs towards an agile, iterative product development mindset. This is a fascinating discussion! In the interview, we discuss: The core challenges employers are facing A mismatch in AI readiness What are the most innovative CHROs doing? Learning from product managers to move from programs to products TA's unique influence and tech adoption advantage Removing silos in the talent function The changing meaning of Build, Buy, Borrow, Bot, Bounce. Human / Agent hybrid working. Human first doesn't mean AI last and vice versa. What does the future look like Follow this podcast on Apple Podcasts. Follow this podcast on Spotify.

On today's episode, Gary Bird, founder of SMC, joins Dr. Mark Costes to unpack the real reasons most dental marketing fails—and why operations are often the true growth limiter. They discuss the dangers of focusing on “activities” like websites or SEO instead of real outcomes, and how busyness is often mistaken for productivity. Gary shares why 35% of calls in dental practices go unanswered during business hours and how that one stat alone crushes marketing ROI.   The conversation dives deep into the link between lead gen and operational execution, including conversion rates, appointment availability, and the need for follow-up systems. Gary also explains why his agency focuses more on operational performance than flashy marketing tactics—and why that gives their clients a competitive advantage.

Big Game-changing Plans and Operations of Modi | Big Action on Illegals | DGP Vikram Singh Exposes

Central authorities in China have allocated 350 million yuan, or about 49 million U.S. dollars, for emergency rescue operations following heavy rainstorms in nine provincial-level regions.

Customer experience pros often face a common challenge: robust metrics like NPS or CSAT fall flat outside the CX team. Why? Because other departments don't see how those numbers connect to their goals.This episode explores how to bridge that gap by translating CX data into the language of IT, Operations, and Finance. It's not about dumbing down the data. It's about building context. When CX metrics highlight inefficiencies or opportunities for cross-functional wins, they become powerful tools for collaboration.You'll hear how to align CX insights with departmental priorities so the data speaks to what each team cares about most. We also explore using behavioral and operational data, like service calls, churn rates, or purchase frequency, to demonstrate real business impact. Plus, we introduce the Customer Experience Success Blueprint, a framework designed to help CX initiatives integrate seamlessly with broader organizational goals.Want your CX initiatives to gain real traction? Start by making the metrics matter to everyone.Resources Mentioned:CX Mission Statement Workbook -- https://bit.ly/cx-mission-workbookCX Success Statement Workbook -- https://bit.ly/cx-success-workbookExperience Investigators Website -- https://experienceinvestigators.comWant to ask a question?

From the outside, M&A can seem like a clean transaction – a new parent company, a logo change, a cheerful announcement.But inside? The reality is messier. Integration. Culture clashes. Reporting headaches. And a long list of decisions that determine whether the deal actually works.Dom Hawes has lived both sides. After his own agency was acquired (badly), he went on to build Selbey Anderson – a marketing services group backed by private equity, designed from day one to scale through M&A.In just 30 months, he led the acquisition of 11 agencies, growing the group to £22M in revenue. In this episode, he pulls back the curtain on how that actually happens – and what too many people get wrong.Here's what we dive into:Why leadership – not just profit – is the #1 factor Dom looks for in an acquisitionThe red flags that make him walk away (including founders who say “I'm not a numbers person”)What makes integration hard – and how to avoid derailing moraleThe systems decision Dom regrets – and how it made integration and reporting harder later onHow to be “sale-ready” in today's tougher marketWhether you're looking to sell or simply sharpen up your ops, this one's a must-listen.Additional Resources:Follow Dom Hawes on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominichawes/ Check out Selby Anderson: https://selbeyanderson.com/ Follow Harv on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/harvnagra/ Get the key takeaways from the podcast in your inbox.

In this episode of the Personal Finance Podcast,  we are going to do a Money Q&A about  should I invest in REITS?  Today we are going to answer these questions: Question 1:  Should I buy Vanguard's VNQ REIT for easy real estate investing instead of using Fundrise? Question 2: Should I invest extra cash, pay off my boat and car loans, or tackle my 8% rental mortgages first? Question 3: How do I save money for my kids if I don't want a 529 and want them to use it for anything — not just college? Question 4: Is tax loss harvesting worth it for regular index fund investors — or should I just keep dollar-cost averaging? Question 5: Should I buy finance books now to learn more — or wait until my emergency fund and investments are set up? Question 6: I opened brokerage accounts in my name for my kids — how do I transfer these to them later without selling everything? How Andrew Can Help You:  Listen to The Business Show here.

We've been liberating owners from chaos for a little over 10 years now at the time of this recording. When you look back at the history or sort of the anthology of what we've seen built in these tools in the Business On Purpose Operating System, we've realized that one of the core tools is something that we call the Master Process Roadmap. If you look at it, there's a core question that many owners ask, and that is, “What happens to the business if something happens to me?” Well, if you've got your Master Process Roadmap in place, then you've got something that the business can continue to operate on long after you're doing something else. And that's not necessarily the goal—but if something does happen, then you've got things in place. Hey, it's Scott Beebe with Business On Purpose. Super excited to walk you through this core tool in the BOP methodology and the Business On Purpose Operating System. You can go check us out at businessonpurpose.com. So how do we streamline the operations to boost efficiency, increase employee satisfaction, and also give us confidence in how the business is going to operate? I want to tell you a story about some dear friends of ours—clients of ours as well—American Paving Design. They offer an excellent example of how to go after process clarity through their commitment to the Master Process Roadmap. Having this single-page document—and when I say a single-page document, I'm talking about an electronic version, of course—is paramount for successfully organizing your business. It holds all of the processes required for delivering your product or your service, but all on one sheet of paper. APD's approach involved a comprehensive brain dump exercise. We sat down and categorized the processes into the four core systems: marketing, sales, operations, and administration. That initial step allowed them to identify all their procedural names. They didn't dive into how each individual process works—they just named the processes. And even in that, it was sort of a cathartic experience to get these things out of their head. They felt good just seeing them on a document. Over the course of a couple of years, they began to systematically walk and document 300 processes, creating a very robust operational framework. What's particularly noteworthy about American Paving Design's approach is its use of video documentation. By leveraging screen capture technology or even just an iPhone, they've created visual guides for a wide range of tasks. This method is especially effective because it allows for clear, step-by-step demonstrations that might be difficult to explain if they were just written down. It catches some of the nuance. The benefits of such extensive documentation are significant. Team members—whether out in the field or in the office—can easily access these guides or process documents whenever they need to. It's a self-service methodology that reduces the need for constant questions and interruptions. For instance, instead of asking Nicole how to run payroll every time, an employee can just watch the relevant video guide. And Tim, the owner, has confidence that it's being done right. The system saves time and empowers employees. To me, that's one of the biggest features of this—the ability to empower someone else. Delegation is an incredible opportunity to show compassion, empathy, and trust in other people. When we have these documentation systems in place, we empower others to find solutions independently. Not only do they have a running start because of the process, but they can also innovate on a process that's already been done. When they have confidence in knowing what to do, it reduces the reliance on key personnel for routine tasks and frees them up to focus on more strategic work. It ensures consistency in how tasks are performed across the organization, leading to higher-quality output and fewer errors. By investing in process documentation, American Paving Design has created a valuable resource that supports ongoing training. It helps new employees get up to speed quickly and serves as a reference for all team members. That form of knowledge management can significantly improve operational efficiency and employee satisfaction as staff feel far more confident and capable in their roles. You're giving them courage—you're literally sharing courage—when you share these processes with them. While creating such an extensive library can take time and effort, the long-term benefits in terms of efficiency, consistency, and employee empowerment make it a worthwhile investment. Just follow the systems mindset. You don't have to lock yourself away in a library for a week to do this. All you need to do is sit down, and for the next thing you do—document it. Capture it like it's the last time you'll ever do it. That's what we call the systems mindset: the next task you do, video it, document it, record it like it's the last time you'll ever do it.

On this week's episode, Vince talks to Canadian investigative journalist Sam Cooper about how Canada has quietly become a key hub for transnational organized crime. Cooper explains how Chinese triads, Mexican cartels like Sinaloa and CJNG, and other international networks use Canadian real estate, casinos, and financial systems to launder money and move narcotics. They discuss how encrypted apps, legal loopholes, and limited enforcement have enabled these operations to expand with little resistance. The conversation also explores concerns around foreign interference, national security, and what this means for both U.S. and Canadian border policy.

Guest: Manija Poulatova, Director of Security Engineering and Operations at Lloyd's Banking Group Topics: SIEM migration is hard, and it can take ages. Yours was - given the scale and the industry - on a relatively short side of 9 months. What's been your experience so far with that and what could have gone faster?  Anton might be a “reformed” analyst but I can't resist asking a three legged stool question: of the people/process/technology aspects, which are the hardest for this transformation? What helped the most in solving your big challenges?  Was there a process that people wanted to keep but it needed to go for the new tool? One thing we talked about was the plan to adopt composite alerting techniques and what we've been calling the “funnel model” for detection in Google SecOps. Could you share what that means and how your team is adopting?  There are a lot of moving parts in a D&R journey from a process and tooling perspective, how did you structure your plan and why? It wouldn't be our show in 2025 if I didn't ask at least one AI question!  What lessons do you have for other security leaders preparing their teams for the AI in SOC transition?  Resources: EP234 The SIEM Paradox: Logs, Lies, and Failing to Detect EP197 SIEM (Decoupled or Not), and Security Data Lakes: A Google SecOps Perspective EP231 Beyond the Buzzword: Practical Detection as Code in the Enterprise EP184 One Week SIEM Migration: Fact or Fiction?
