Why the Recruitment Model Is Broken (And What We're Doing About It)OverviewIn this season opener, George digs into a real conversation with a friend who's trying to hire an Amazon Operations Manager — and uses it to expose a fundamental flaw in how traditional recruitment is structured. The incentives are pointing in the wrong direction, and it's costing brands more than they realise.What We CoverThe Amazon Pyramid — George revisits the three-pillar framework: Operations → Brand & Conversion → Advertising. Why you can't skip the foundation, and why each layer depends on the one below it.The recruiter conversation — A specialist Philippines-based recruiter quotes $2,500–$3,000/month for an Operations Manager. George pushes back — and explains exactly why that number doesn't hold up.The incentive problem — Why even the most honest, specialist recruiter is structurally incentivised to place candidates at higher salaries. Nobody's being dishonest. The model just rewards the wrong outcome.The Pare difference — No margin on salary. No big upfront placement fee. Contracts and payroll handled. And crucially — candidates join a Wednesday community of senior Amazon professionals, so they keep getting better after day one.The agency experience, rebuilt — What agencies gave clients (knowledge density, peer learning, cross-account exposure) and how the Pare community model recreates it — but with everyone at the senior table.The question left open — Did his friend make the right call going direct? And should Pare expand beyond Amazon Ads Managers into Operations?Key TakeawayPaying fairly, vetting rigorously, and removing the upfront fee structure isn't just a nicer model — over a four-month horizon, it's a cheaper one too.Pare places senior Amazon Advertising Managers with DTC brands and agencies globally.

Kurt Braunwart is the managing owner of Progene Plant Research, a genetic research-based company bringing new innovations and old uses to current varieties in the market. The company is known for their spring and winter pea program, as well as their work in oats and triticale. Braunwart discusses his career in this industry, how he started and built Progene, how he identifies oddball traits that can have mainstream applications, some of the differences and similarities between spring and winter peas, and his hopes for the future as he transitions the company over to new ownership. He began his career as a fieldman for Rogers Seed Company in 1974 in Twin Falls, Idaho. In 1980, he moved to Colfax, Washington, as Plant Manager and later to Othello, Washington, as Operations Manager. In 1995, he purchased and carried forward a dry pea breeding program from Rogers Seed Company. This business became ProGene Plant Research in 1996.“ What we were finding through the whole team was that we've got ways to improve the roots of those peas, to contribute back to soil health. And that yes, we can do that with spring peas, but we can do it way better with winter peas because their ratio of roots to top growth is more roots than in spring peas.” - Kurt BraunwartThis Week on Growing Pulse Crops:Meet Kurt Braunwart, the managing owner of Progene Plant ResearchDiscover the creation and mission of ProgeneExplore the differences and similarities between spring and winter peasLearn where he sees the future of crop developmentGrowing Pulse Crops is produced by Dr. Audrey Kalil and hosted by Tim Hammerich of the Future of Agriculture Podcast.

From Nairobi's Zero Project Tech Forum: Steven Scott and Shaun Preece meet innovators using AI robots to teach deaf students STEM, digital avatars to interpret sign language at scale, and 3D printing to put custom prosthetics within reach across Africa. Day two of Double Tap's coverage from the Zero Project Tech Forum in Nairobi centres on communication and care. Steven Scott and Shaun Preece speak with three innovators whose work shares a common thread: using off-the-shelf technology and African-built data sets to solve problems that mainstream assistive tech has repeatedly overlooked. Maxwell Kamau, Partnerships Lead at ZeroBionic, introduces a Kenyan startup building AI-powered humanoid robots as learning aids for blind, visually impaired, deaf, and hard of hearing students. Their first product is a 3D-printed prosthetic arm, made from recycled plastic, that translates documents and video into sign language, trained on African sign language data sets that automatically adapt to the student's country. Their second product is a Braille-tagged STEM robotics kit designed for blind learners. Every component, from motors to microcontrollers, carries a Braille label so students can identify and assemble the parts by touch. The kit supports coding by voice, sign language, text, or drag-and-drop, and is aimed at learners from age five upwards. ZeroBionic is now presenting its new Braille education hardware, and is seeking manufacturing and distribution partners to reach schools that cannot afford commercial robotics kits. Winnie Ongiri, Operations Manager at Signvrse, explains how her Nairobi-based company has built an AI-powered digital sign language interpreter that converts speech and text into signing via lifelike customisable avatars. Rather than a standalone app, Signvrse is designed as an API, a foundational accessibility layer that other platforms can plug into. Currently operating at a two to three second response time, the team is working toward 500 milliseconds for genuinely real-time interpretation. Motion capture data is collected directly from deaf community members, and quality assurance is built around ongoing community involvement at every stage. Winnie addresses the displacement question directly: the technology is designed for places human interpreters cannot reach, such as websites and online video, rather than to replace them. Dr Nick Were, co-founder of Prothea in Kenya, describes how his company is using iPhone LiDAR scanning, proprietary 3D modelling software, and desktop 3D printing to produce custom-fitted prosthetic sockets in under 24 hours. Traditional methods take a week or more, and public facilities can take a month. The sub-millimetre accuracy of the digital workflow produces a more comfortable fit than a plaster cast, and the hub-and-spoke model means prosthetists can travel to remote patients with just an iPhone, send the scan file back to base, and have a printed socket shipped out. Prothea has served more than 700 patients and holds close to 600 scan files that could be used to train AI modelling, a partnership the team is actively seeking. Prothea operates as an implementing partner of Ugani Prosthetics, whose workflow and software were developed through university research in Belgium and are now being deployed across Africa, Asia, South America, and Europe. The episode closes with news that the Zero Project Tech Forum will continue to Mumbai in September, Tokyo on October 9th, Singapore in November, and Santiago de Chile also in November. Relevant Links

Permit to Think — Episode 33Cosmoledo | Blue Safari Fly FishingHost: Mike Dawes, Westbank Anglers Guests: Colin (Operations Manager, Westbank Anglers) | Keith Rose-Innes (Managing Director, Blue Safari / Alphonse Fishing Company)Episode DescriptionWhat happens when the GT capital of the world lives up to every bit of the hype? In Episode 33 of Permit to Think, host Mike Dawes sits down with Westbank Anglers Operations Manager Colin and Blue Safari Managing Director Keith Rose-Innes to break down one of the most remote, raw, and unforgettable fly fishing destinations on the planet — Cosmoledo Atoll in the Seychelles.Keith brings nearly 30 years of Seychelles experience to the table, including a firsthand account of witnessing GTs eat birds off the water — the original discovery that sparked the now-famous footage seen on Blue Planet 2. Colin brings the wide-eyed perspective of a first-time Cosmo angler, fresh off a trip that left him, in Mike's words, "glowing like he'd just met his first girlfriend."Together, they map out the full Blue Safari operation — from permit-junky flats to the bumphead parrotfish of Farquhar, the iconic milkfish fishery at Alphonse, and the wild, barely-explored Astove — before zeroing in on what makes Cosmoledo something else entirely.About the GuestsKeith Rose-Innes is the Managing Director of Blue Safari and the Alphonse Fishing Company. With nearly 30 years in the Seychelles, Keith has guided, explored, built lodges, and pioneered fisheries across the Indian Ocean. He is widely credited as the first person to document GTs eating birds at Farquhar — footage that later became part of Blue Planet 2. He is also a co-designer of the Schulten reel.Colin is the Operations Manager at Westbank Anglers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. A former guest on the Mexico episode of Permit to Think, Colin made his first trip to Cosmoledo as part of a Westbank-hosted group and came back a changed man.About Permit to ThinkPermit to Think is a fly fishing podcast hosted by Mike Dawes of Westbank Anglers. Each episode digs into the people, places, and fish that define the sport — from technical conversations about gear and tactics to big-picture discussions on conservation and culture.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we are joined by Admiral William O. Studeman, United States Navy, retired, and his wife Diane, former Pan Am stewardess and one of the most gracious ambassadors the airline ever had.Their connection to Pan Am runs deeper than most. Diane grew up in Milford-on-Sea in Hampshire, England. The navy and aviation were not just a backdrop to her childhood but its very fabric. She joined Pan Am as a stewardess in the early 1960s, at what many would argue was the cultural apex of the Jet Age, when the uniform was a statement and the Clipper was a promise of something larger than the ordinary.Bill is, in the truest sense, a Pan Am kid. His father, Oliver J. Studeman, joined Pan Am's Western Division at Brownsville, Texas in 1933, flying mail-carrying tri-motored Fokkers from Texas through Mexico to Panama and across the north coast of South America. He was known professionally as O.J. and had the nickname of "Stude" by his friends and colleagues. Over four decades, O.J. rose from Chief Pilot of the Western Division to Operations Manager of the Alaska, Pacific, and Latin American divisions, to Assistant Vice President of Pan Am's Guided Missile Range Division at Cape Canaveral, to Vice President of the Metropolitan Air Facilities Division at Teterboro, New Jersey, where he retired in 1972. His uncle, on his mother's side, also worked for the airline. Bill was born in Brownsville in January 1940. Pan Am, for him, was not just a company. It was a family inheritance.Bill and Diane met in the summer of 1962 at London's Heathrow Airport, where Bill was working the Pan Am ticket counter and Diane was working the TWA desk. She joined Pan Am shortly after. He entered Officer Candidate School in 1963 and spent the next 32 years in the United States Navy as a naval intelligence officer. At his Senate confirmation hearing, Senator Frank Murkowski said Bill had "mastered, as few others have, the intricate and arcane world of signals intelligence." He served as Director of Naval Intelligence, Director of the National Security Agency, and Deputy Director of Central at CIA, twice serving as its acting director of the agency across two presidential administrations. Diane hung up her wings to become a Navy wife and mother. They settled eventually in Annapolis.Before the interview, this episode explores three places that rarely appear in the standard Pan Am narrative: Brownsville, Texas, where the airline learned to fly in the clouds and where O.J. "Stude" Studeman first fell in love with the sky; Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay, the man-made island built to launch the Boeing B-314 Flying Boats toward Asia, whose art deco terminal still stands today; and Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, the oldest operating commercial airport in the New York metropolitan area, and the place where O.J. Studeman's remarkable Pan Am career came to a close.Bill and Diane's son, Rear Admiral Mike Studeman (ret.), recently published a book on leadership called Might of the Chain: Forging Leaders of Iron Integrity now available in bookstores and as an audiobook. This is Episode 65 of The Pan Am Podcast, and the final full episode with Tom Betti as host in the history and humanities format that has defined this program since its first season. Episode 66, the season finale and Tom's final episode, will be a five-year retrospective with special guests.Support the showVisit Us for more Pan Am History! Support the Podcast!Donate to the Museum!Visit The Hangar online store for Pan Am gear!Become a Member! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!A very special thanks to Mr. Adam Aron, Chairman and CEO of AMC and president of the Pan Am Historical Foundation and  Pan Am Brands for their continued and unwavering support!

Wadoozie is a narrative-driven, on-chain attention network built on Ethereum, pairing a native ERC-20 token ($WADZ) with a real-world 48-state U.S. tour, 576 Signal Fragments redeemable for tokens (336 hidden across the 48 states, 240 in an online pool), and a Publishers Network that pays creators directly from a dedicated 7% of total supply.This episode features two guests from the Wadoozie team. The project is led by Mr. Wadoozie, Senior Internet Architect Engineer of Software, who brings more than a decade of experience in the cryptocurrency industry. He is joined on this episode by Tay, Operations Manager, who has a background in marketing and management and has run operations for multiple crypto projects.The token launches with a roughly one billion effective supply (two billion minted, 999,999,999 burned at launch), 0% buy/sell tax, a DAO-governed locked liquidity pool, and a renounced contract — every parameter publicly verifiable on Etherscan and audited by CertiK.At the center is Wadoozie himself: a returning signal that takes a character's form, traveling the country by tour bus to “activate” each state as a node in a fractured cultural network the mythology calls The Feed. The mission is structured as eight narrative Acts opening with the Austin Flagship and closing back in New Orleans, with seven Flagship cities — Austin, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, NYC, Miami, and Nashville — anchoring the arc across roughly four and a half months. After the 48 states wrap, the network expands to Europe.About Our GuestsMr. Wadoozie is the Senior Internet Architect Engineer of Software on the project, with more than a decade of experience in the cryptocurrency industry.

David - I founded the non-profit organization "When the Saints" in November 2011. My passion is to see an end to sexual exploitation, and to invite Christ's bride into the role we can all play. More than that, my desire is to bring glory to the name of Jesus. Although I'm in his late 30's, I have extensive "hands on" experience and have been advocating for poverty and justice issues for two decades. In the fall of 2011 I graduated from St. Louis Christian College with a Christian Ministries degree emphasizing Intercultural and Urban Missions. I love traveling and watching documentaries or movies with a strong lead actress.Essy - Hi there! I'm your friendly Operations Manager here at WtS. My job has to do with keeping our amazing 80+ staff members happy. I make sure everything is running smoothly so they can do their best work. David and I have been married since 2017 and we have two awesome kids, Taji and Nuru, who keep life exciting (and slightly chaotic). I'm the third of four kids in my family, which means I've got a lot of practice helping things run smoothly.Originally from Kenya, my heart is still there with my parents and siblings, though I now call Malawi home. I'm a statistician by education, so numbers are my thing! Above all, I'm a believer, and I totally love my role with the ministry — it's not just a job, it's what God created me for.https://www.whenthesaints.com

In this episode of On Campus, Elizabeth Allan, PhD, Professor of Higher Education and Director of the Hazing Prevention Research Lab at the University of Maine and Founder of StopHazing and Meredith Stewart, MEd, Operations Manager for StopHazing break down the Stop Campus Hazing Act and what it means for colleges and universities as new federal requirements take effect. Signed into law in 2024, the legislation amends the Clery Act and introduces new expectations around campus hazing reporting, transparency, and prevention programs. With the first full Annual Security Report including hazing data due in 2026, institutions are now facing critical questions about compliance, policy development, and campus culture.  Our conversation explores what higher education leaders need to know now—from Campus Hazing Transparency Reports and reporting requirements to the operational realities of implementation across student affairs, public safety, and compliance offices. We also examine how institutions can move beyond compliance to build safer, more accountable campus environments, and why transparency around hazing incidents is becoming essential for student trust, institutional credibility, and campus safety.   Links:CITI Program's Clery Act Course: https://about.citiprogram.org/course/clery-act-training/  StopHazing: https://stophazing.org/  Hazing Prevention Research Lab: https://umaine.edu/edhd/hazing-prevention-research/

Most companies are experimenting with AI, but very few are implementing it with structure, leadership buy-in, and real operational strategy. In this episode, Mo Choumil and Hope Ottoviani pull back the curtain on how All Tech National Title and ATG Title are rolling out Claude Enterprise internally, from building "master memory files" and department-specific AI projects to creating a company-wide knowledge base that cuts down repetitive questions and accelerates workflows. If you're still treating AI like a side tool instead of core infrastructure, this conversation will completely change how you think about implementation.    What you'll learn from this episode Why successful AI adoption must start at the leadership level and cascade through departments systematically The role department-specific AI projects play in building scalable internal knowledge systems  How "master memory files" create context-rich AI systems tailored to your company's values, SOPs, and compliance requirements Foundational skills for getting useful outputs from AI systems How AI-powered internal knowledge bases reduce operational bottlenecks and improve employee efficiency   Resources mentioned in this episode  Anthropic ChatGPT Google Gemini xAI Microsoft OneDrive Perplexity Title GPT Ask All Tech   About Hope Ottoviani Hope Ottoviani has diverse work experience spanning various industries.
