At 2 a.m., a surgeon needed an answer fast and had no one to ask. So he built the tool himself, with no coding background. In this episode, consultant cardiac anesthesiologist Ahmed Elsonbaty explains how a single bleeding-patient case in the operating room pushed him to create bedside clinical decision-support tools now used by more than 10,000 doctors across 150 countries. This episode is based on his article "I built clinical decision-support tools at the bedside," published on KevinMD. You will hear why he deliberately avoided generative AI so the tools give the same traceable answer every time, how he built everything on published, documented sources, and why he insists the tools help the doctor rather than replace anyone. He also walks through submitting his work for peer review at a major journal. Hear how he did it, and the exact steps he says any physician can follow to build their own.

Richard Chow, Partner at PJT Partners (NYSE: PJT) Secondary deals are often judged by one number: the discount. Richard Chow thinks that's the wrong place to start. After spending most of his career investing in and advising on secondaries, Richard has seen what happens when investors focus too heavily on price and miss what is actually driving the transaction. Richard and Kison walk through the decisions behind LP-led deals, continuation vehicles, private-market liquidity, and some of the assumptions buyers routinely get wrong. They also get into Richard's own investing mistakes, including a SpaceX opportunity he passed on, and what it taught him about underwriting assets whose real upside may sit well beyond the typical investment horizon. What You'll Learn Why the discount can be the wrong starting point in a secondary deal What separates LP-led and GP-led secondary transactions How continuation vehicles change the liquidity equation Where IRR can create the wrong impression of investment performance Why Richard believes buyers often approach diligence too narrowly What passing on SpaceX taught him about underwriting long-term compounders   If you're evaluating a secondary opportunity and defaulting to "what's the discount," DealPilot's Buyer-Led M&A™ Certification is built on exactly that instinct: stop taking the other side's framing and drive your own evaluation instead. ____________________ This episode of M&A Science is presented by DealRoom. 51% of corp dev teams are already using AI in their deals. We surveyed 230+ practitioners surveyed on where AI is showing up across sourcing, diligence, integration, and internal workflows, what's working, what's holding teams back, and where the biggest opportunity is over the next 12 to 24 months.

W. Stephen Love, president and CEO of the Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council, joins host Dan Karnuta for a discussion about how North Texas hospitals collaborate to prepare for disasters, supply shortages and other emergencies. Drawing on lessons learned from COVID-19, Hurricane Katrina and previous mass-casualty planning, Love describes how hospitals share equipment, personnel and expertise, expand critical-care capacity and support rural facilities that may have fewer resources. Love then discusses the 18 months of preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which brought millions of international visitors to North Texas. Hospitals, public-health agencies, emergency responders and local governments planned for extreme heat, infectious diseases, language barriers and large gatherings across the region. The coordination paid off: approximately 2,000 visitors received emergency care, with an estimated 98% of those encounters involving heat-related illnesses.

Send us Fan MailThe hardest truth in a relationship is usually the one nobody is willing to say out loud. In this episode, we unpack the taboo reality of growth orientation in intimate partnerships, why a partner who will not grow alongside you eventually becomes the ceiling on your own life, and why denial, delusion, and distancing are the three ways most people avoid seeing it.We get into the narrative that says you are never supposed to judge your partner, and why that belief is quietly costing people decades. Judgment is not the problem. Unfair, harsh, and maladaptive judgment is. From there we look at what a partnership is actually for, whether it exists to reinforce who you already are or to challenge the growth edges of who you are becoming, and then break down the three specific areas where a non growth oriented partner holds you back: emotionally, socially, and psychologically.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #483 | How to Hold Two Truths at the Same Time - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000752414280Learn more about:

Send us Fan MailAre you sharing your microbiome with your roommate? What about your romantic partner?In this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks talks with microbiome researcher Dr. Nicola Segata about new research showing that we may share parts of our microbiome with the people we live with—including family members, roommates, and romantic partners.They discuss how our microbiomes are shared between people, why romantic partners show particularly high levels of oral microbiome sharing, and whether kissing may be partly responsible. They also explore the surprising connection between the oral and gut microbiomes and what the findings could mean for our health.Dr. Segata and Dr. Eeks also discuss whether some microbes are better at spreading than others, what the research does—and doesn't—tell us about cardiometabolic health, whether probiotics can meaningfully change our microbiome, and how much control we really have over the microbial communities living within us.And if we're sharing our microbiomes with the humans we live with...what about our dogs?About Dr. Nicola Segata: Dr. Nicola Segata is a professor and microbiome researcher at the University of Trento in Italy and a principal investigator at the European Institute of Oncology in Milan. He founded his research laboratory in 2013, bringing together computational scientists, experimental biologists, statisticians, and clinicians to study the human microbiome, its diversity, and how it may influence human health and disease. Work with Eeks?

Triggerwarnung: In dieser Folge geht es um Suizid. Ende der 90er-Jahre kreuzen sich die Wege von Carola, Benedetto, Chiara und Giacomo in Süditalien. Giacomo wird ein enger Freund der dreiköpfigen, vermögenden Familie und wenig später sogar zum festen Bestandteil, denn er bittet Chiara, seine Frau zu werden. Doch nicht nur Chiara wird zum Objekt seiner Begierde. Als ein Familienmitglied wenig später spurlos verschwindet, machen sich alle große Sorgen. Alle bis auf eine Person. Hunderte Kilometer entfernt entdeckt drei Wochen später eine Bäuerin im Süden Bayerns eine tote Frau auf einem Schleichweg. Niemand weiß, wer die Tote ist oder woher sie kommt. Niemand scheint sie zu vermissen. Und noch ahnt niemand, welche Intrigen, Lügen und teuflischen Pläne erst Jahre später enthüllt werden. Diese Folge von „Mordlust – Verbrechen und ihre Hintergründe“ erzählt von der langen Reise zweier Ermittler, die einen grausamen Mord lösen wollen. Doch als es ihnen endlich gelingt, Licht ins Dunkle zu bringen, gibt es plötzlich noch ein weiteres Opfer. **Credit** Produzentinnen/ Hosts: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers Redaktion: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers, Marisa Morell, Jennifer Fahrenholz Schnitt: Pauline Korb Rechtliche Abnahme: „Abel und Kollegen“; Benedikt Müller **Quellen (Auswahl)** Urteil Corte d'Assise Brindisi (Landgericht Brindisi) vom 12.03.2007, Aktenzeichen Nr. 2/07 Andreas Herzog: “Soko Soien - Das Rätsel der unbekannten Toten” (hansanord Verlag 1.

We break down the massive implications of the U.S. Treasury's multi-billion dollar buyback program and how direct bond market intervention is shifting yields. The conversation also explores incoming PCE inflation data, expected Nvidia earnings, and what the financial policies discussed at Jackson Hole mean for upcoming Federal Reserve rate decisions.Beyond the macro setup, we analyze Bitcoin's recent breakout to determine if the bear market is truly over amid anticipated institutional adoption. Finally, we map out the five non-negotiable rules for raising investor capital and break down the four unique types of leverage you can use to secure real estate ownership today.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSEDU.S. Treasury buybacks and direct bond market interventionPCE inflation data and future Federal Reserve rate pause predictionsNvidia earnings expectations and impact on the broader tech sectorJackson Hole economic symposium and the proposed Crypto Clarity ActBitcoin price breakouts and expanding institutional market adoptionThe five non-negotiable rules for successfully raising investor capitalFour distinct types of capital used to aggressively acquire real estateKEY TAKEAWAYSThe Federal Reserve is heavily leaning toward rate pauses rather than cuts, shifting the focus to direct treasury interventions to lower bond yields.Sustained Bitcoin all-time highs will likely depend on the passage of the Crypto Clarity Act and the subsequent entry of regulated U.S. government purchasing.Leading with a deal's downside risk and stress-testing potential threats is the fastest way to build credibility with sophisticated capital investors.You do not always need liquid cash to acquire real estate; sourcing the deal, operating the asset, or leveraging your personal balance sheet are equally valuable forms of capital.Never pitch an investment opportunity that you do not have ultimate operational control over, as protecting investor capital requires executive decision-making power.CONNECT & TAKE ACTIONVisit skylineocresidences.com to discover luxury homeownership and exceptional value at Skyline OC.Invest in the Imagos Income Fund for steady passive returns targeting 10%.

This week Chris sits down with Lucy Billingsley, Co-founder and Partner of Billingsley Company, the Dallas development firm she started with her husband Henry in 1978. Lucy is the daughter of Trammell Crow, who built the largest real estate development company in America. She left the family business because she did not want to be a minority vote. She and Henry built their own firm instead, and today they run it with their kids. Billingsley plays a longer game than almost anyone in real estate. They buy land 30 or 40 years before the growth arrives and hold it until the market is ready. Cypress Waters alone is 1,300 acres zoned for 10,000 apartments and over 12 million square feet of office. They discuss:• Why every building they develop goes in the kids' names from day one• The rule that keeps siblings from ever voting on each other's deals• The lake at Cypress Waters they bought for 50 cents a foot• The difference between a park people look at and a park people actually use• Why new office space now rents for more than Dallas has ever seen• Where AI is already saving them real money in construction Timestamps(00:00) Intro(00:52) Building a Family Business and Putting Assets in the Kids' Names(05:55) From the Dallas Market Center Into Development(09:15) Picking Land and Staying Ahead of the Growth Wave(14:33) Designing the Public Arena to Make a Place(18:00) Zoning Is an Art, Not a Guarantee(20:52) What Cities Want and What the State Took Away(22:31) The Future of Office and Why Amenities Win(28:44) How They Decide What to Build and Where to Buy Next(33:15) The Events Business and Public-Private Partnerships(36:52) Buying a Lake for 50 Cents a Foot and Draining It(37:54) Construction Costs and the Frozen Single Family Market(42:07) Reinventing Herself and the Cypress Waters Trail(46:37) Going All In on AI === Presented by True North Advisors:True North Advisors is a multi-family office and private wealth advisory firm serving business owners, entrepreneurs, and families since 2000.

A listener wrote in, and she's pissed. She's been dropping spicy hints like nobody's business (wearing what he likes, flirty comments, changing with the door open), and her partner isn't picking up on any of them. She wants him to initiate. She wants to feel pursued. And yes, she knows she could just ask. Em and Cass get into how we all still want a mind-reader, the community polls (62% of you drop hints instead of asking for sex, 85% want your partner to initiate more), and how to actually build a communication style that doesn't require your partner to be Edward fucking Cullen.

Office hours this week focused on discussing a controversial topic regarding a pastor who charged money for a ministry event, with participants sharing their perspectives on when and how ministers should accept payment for gospel work. Pastor Amos explained his concerns about ministers walking carefully due to higher scrutiny and the potential for creating stumbling blocks, while participants like Doyin, Deborah, and Bose shared their thoughts on the balance between ministry and business practices. The conversation also covered Pastor Amos's updates about CFE's upcoming Bible study on parenting and the relaunch of daily podcast episodes, as well as discussions about ministry school programs and the responsibilities that come with public ministry platforms. __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________    

When his shifts were cut during the pandemic, he took a telemedicine job to pay the bills and ended up loving it. Suneer Chander is an emergency physician who co-wrote the article "Telemedicine as a career, not a side gig," published on KevinMD. He makes the case that telemedicine is the most impactful public health advance to come out of the pandemic, yet most doctors treat it as weekend income instead of the career patients actually need it to be. You will hear why so few physicians work in it full time, what a day of asynchronous care in sexual health, obesity medicine, and psychiatry really looks like, and the red flags that signal a company using your license rather than respecting it. Chander argues the field needs committed clinical leaders, not moonlighters. You will hear which doctors are the best fit, the red flags to watch for, and how Chander says to weigh an offer beyond the paycheck. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

The sector  American renewables has undergone policy uncertainty, even whiplash. Challenging a sector already impacted by rising interest rates and infrastructure back-logs. Despite that, the renewable sector matches Europe in scale and continued to grow. Now, in a world of data centers and increasing power demand, is its fortune set to be reversed? Returning to the show, and this time in person, hence slightly different audio quality this time, is Julie McLaughlin, Managing Director and Partner at Alvarez & Marsal Julie was last on the show in late 2023, calling for the imperative of capital discipline within the renewables sector, a call that turned out to be very prescient indeed. This time, Julie's sharing how the sector fared in the wake of that call and where it's headed.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Matthew Piepenburg to the show. Matthew Piepenburg is Partner – Von Greyerz Gold Switzerland, Author – Gold Matters. Piepenburg argues that despite 2026 volatility, including war, a historic gold correction, and US government debt surpassing $40 trillion, the secular gold bull market remains in its early chapters. He sees shakeouts and price interventions as features, not an end, and believes conditions today are stronger than the 1970s run, driven by $265 trillion global debt, negative real rates, and currency debasement. He contends that governments and central banks have narrowed options and increasingly rely on hidden QE, misleading inflation and employment data, and dollar debasement to manage debt, while Main Street suffers a real recession and middle-class erosion, and stock market gains mostly benefit top wealth. Piepenburg highlights central bank gold accumulation at record levels, especially after dollar weaponization, as a sign gold is replacing Treasuries as global collateral. He notes the shift in physical gold flows from Western exchanges to Eastern central banks and sovereign funds, and the development of Shanghai-Hong Kong physical settlement, challenging paper price discovery. He expects continued eastward shift, not dollar collapse, but a significant repricing. Matthew discusses possible US gold revaluation, either marking gold certificates to market or letting gold run, as a form of “gold QE” that would further debase the dollar. He sees miners as leveraged opportunity after sentiment lows, and stresses patience and education. For high-net-worth investors, physical gold outside the banking system in Switzerland and Singapore serves as wealth preservation. He closes that gold won't get one rich quickly but protects from getting poor.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Erin Price-Wright, General Partner in American Dynamism at Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). Erin joined a16z from Index Ventures in 2024, where she was a Partner focused on software infrastructure and applied AI. She previously served as Head of Product for Palantir's data analytics and machine learning program. The American Dynamism practice invests in founders and companies that support the national interest spanning aerospace, defense, public safety, education, housing, supply chain, industrials, and manufacturing. We were thrilled to hear Erin's perspective on the rapidly evolving intersection of AI, energy, and industrial technology. In our conversation, Erin shares the story behind a16z's American Dynamism practice and its early investments in companies including SpaceX, Anduril, Applied Intuition, Shield AI, and Skydio. She discusses how the firm's conviction in the space developed well before the recent surge of interest in industrial technology. We explore the convergence of AI, supply chain vulnerabilities, geopolitical pressures, reindustrialization, and skilled labor shortages, which Erin believes are creating the conditions for the “next great American industrial build-out.” We discuss physical AI and robotics, the potential to automate dangerous, expensive, and labor-intensive activities across energy and industrial operations, the challenges of deploying physical AI, and the importance of taking a practical approach to automation by starting with specific activities where the economics make sense and expanding from there. We touch on why venture capital is returning to energy and industrial technology, China's advantage in deployment versus the U.S.'s strength in experimentation and entrepreneurship, and the importance of permitting and regulatory certainty. We also examine data centers and the broader question of whether America wants to build, Erin's thoughts for energy and industrial leaders looking to accelerate innovation within their organizations, and much more. Special thanks to Erin for joining! We look forward to partnering with a16z on our upcoming Energy & Industrial Technology Showcase in Houston on September 10. Mike Bradley kicked off the discussion by noting that the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield was trading at ~4.65%, down ~10bps on the week but still near its highest level of the year. Bond investors are focused on the ongoing Canada tariff dispute, Wednesday's Core PCE inflation report, and Chairman Warsh's Jackson Hole speech on Friday. Major equity indices finished lower last week but are modestly higher this week, with attention now centered on NVIDIA's second-quarter earnings report Wednesday and its 6- to 12-month capital spending outlook. Turning to energy markets, Mike highlighted that WTI crude oil had declined ~$5/bbl this week to ~$82/bbl following the Treasury Secretary's announcement of “Operation Economic Outcast,” aimed at increasing economic pressure on Iran. EU natural gas prices rose another ~$1/MMBtu to ~$23/MMBtu, with storage levels remaining a concern ahead of winter. The energy sector was modestly lower this week but remains up ~5% month-to-date, led by refiners (+~12%). In power, electric utilities are down ~5% month-to-date, while IPPs, large-scale generators, and distributed generation providers are down ~10%–15% on average, largely reflecting higher interest rates and growing state-level opposition to data center development.

What happens when one partner wants sex and the other doesn’t? Mismatched desire- or desire discrepancy is one of the most common issues Dr. Jenni Skyler and Daniel Lebowitz see among couples, and it’s a topic they’re asked about again and again. For this special episode of Sex and the Psyche, we’re turning the tables and putting Jenni and Daniel in the hot seat! Our friend Karen Bigman, host of Taboo to Truth, generously invited Jenni and Daniel onto her podcast for a candid conversation about desire discrepancy, intimacy, shame, and the challenges couples face when their libidos don't match. We’re so grateful to Karen for allowing us to replay this conversation here on Sex and the Psyche, giving our listeners a chance to hear Jenni and Daniel as guests and get a behind-the-scenes look at how they answer the questions they’re usually the ones asking. In this first part of the two-part conversation, Jenni and Daniel explore why desire discrepancy happens, what it can look like in long-term relationships, and why the partner with lower desire is never simply “the problem.” They also talk about why some men shut down or go silent when they’re struggling sexually, how shame can take over in the bedroom, and how the right words can open the door to a much more honest and compassionate conversation between partners. A huge thank-you to Karen Bigman and Taboo to Truth for sharing this conversation with our Sex and the Psyche audience. Be sure to listen to Part 2 for more of Jenni and Daniel in the hot seat!

You can protect your image or grow your income. Rarely both. Ray pulls no punches in this episode, calling out one of the biggest silent killers of sales success: the need for approval. If you're holding back from reaching out, posting content, or making the ask because you're worried about what people think, that fear is costing you real money. Ray shares from his own journey — including the real estate folks who laughed at him when he moved into direct sales, and then later asked if he was hiring. This episode is a gut check on fixed versus growth mindset, and why the path to mastery has nothing to do with natural talent. Ray admits he was terrible at public speaking, video, and sales when he started. He kept going anyway. Now people call him a natural. The truth is, nobody sees the reps behind the results. Whether it's closing, networking, or marketing, you can get better at all of it — but only if you stop letting people who have nothing to do with paying your bills determine how far you go. Show up, do the work, and stop waiting for the applause that may never come.

TRID SUMMER continues as producer Lauren puts TRID in the hot seat: are you allowed to be mad when your partner likes thirst traps, keeps photos of an ex, posts a terrible photo of you, lies about being five minutes away or falls asleep mid-argument? They debate relationship boundaries, jealousy, flirting, trust, social media, insecurities and communication. Then TRID reveals the private app he built for himself and Sheena to stop small frustrations from turning into major fights.Tune in every Tuesday for honest and hilarious conversations about relationships, marriage, family, communication and everyday life!!#SheenaInterrupted #TRIDSummer #comedy 

He was sued for a case he barely remembered, and five years later it pushed him out of medicine. It is not just malpractice. Jordan Grumet is an internal medicine physician and the author of The Healthcare Heist: How Physicians and Patients Can Unite to Transform Health Care. In this conversation he traces how third parties like insurers, pharmaceutical companies, private equity, and malpractice lawyers pull money and agency out of the system and leave doctors and patients worse off. You will hear why most malpractice suits are dropped before court yet still drive billions in defensive medicine, how business entities that never took the Hippocratic Oath end up deciding how medicine is practiced, and why doctors and patients are pushed into feeling like opponents when they are actually the only two real stakeholders. Grumet makes the case that shared storytelling can close the gap between them. You will hear how doctors and patients can start taking power back, and the specific steps Grumet says both can take today. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

What happens when you want sex more often than your partner—or when your partner seems to want it more than you do? In this episode of The Men's Self-Help Podcast, Dr. John is joined by Guy Counseling contributing writer Jack for a candid conversation about mismatched sex drives in relationships. They explore why differences in sexual desire are so common and why they don't necessarily mean there's something wrong with your relationship. The conversation also gets into stress and libido, feeling rejected when your partner says no, and an important distinction that often gets overlooked: wanting sex and being comfortable initiating sex aren't necessarily the same thing. John and Jack also tackle a question plenty of couples probably wonder about but may not talk about openly: Can masturbation help when partners have different sex drives, and where does adult video fit into the picture? Other topics include scheduling intimacy, sexual "accelerators" and "brakes," nonsexual touch, emotional safety, and approaching sex as an invitation rather than a demand.

Episode 310 opens with Steve Dennis reporting back from an invitation-only Amazon analyst day in Seattle, two days focused on Prime and grocery. Steve unpacks the breadth of the Prime flywheel, Amazon's push into sub-one-day delivery, the drone facility he toured just before the company announced an expansion to roughly 500 markets, and why Amazon's rise to the number two grocer in North America should have rivals looking over their shoulders. Then, the numbers. US retail sales grew about 5% excluding fuel. Walmart delivered a lackluster 2.6% US comp, its weakest in six years, offset by a 46% jump in global advertising and nearly $3 billion in tariff refunds the company says it will reinvest in price. Target posted a nearly 4% comp with traffic up 3.6%; real progress, though Steve cautions the invitation can be better than the party. In off-price, TJX comped 4% while Ross Stores turned in a second straight double-digit quarter. And Simon Property Group made the case that great physical retail is alive and well. The interview, recorded live at the CommerceNext Growth Show in New York, features Scott Friend, Partner at Bain Capital Ventures, and Indy Guha, General Partner at VMG Partners. Scott co-founded price optimization pioneer ProfitLogic before joining BCV twenty years ago; Indy co-leads VMG's commerce infrastructure fund after scaling Signifyd. Together they tackle a hard question: when AI makes everything easier to build, how do you tell a real company from a pitch formula? Their answer centers on founder clarity and earned domain expertise, because a couple of quarters' head start has never mattered more. The conversation ranges across whether personalization and merchandising optimization are now table stakes, the surveillance pricing debate, AI-driven homogeneity versus the promise of the "N of one" customer journey, and Indy's memorable "Claude-proof" test for anyone building in commerce. Both push back on agentic commerce hype, arguing agents will own low-interest replenishment missions while people keep the treasure hunt. Scott points to the revenue ramp of AI-native companies as evidence this cycle is real, not overhyped. Both land in the same place: brand, community, and authenticity are the last durable moats, and retail teams must become architects rather than assembly-line workers. Back in studio, on the radar: Steve tracks the bond market, with 30-year Treasuries at a 19-year high and the 10-year at 4.75%, squeezing discretionary income and retailer expansion plans alike. Michael watches Canadian icon Roots, newly sold to New York's Marquee Brands with Joe Mimran advising on merchandising, and asks whether the brand can reclaim its former glory. Registration is open for a special webinar featuring Steve in conversation with Placer AI's Head of Analytical Research RJ Hottovy. From changing shopping patterns to emerging market opportunities, shifting consumer demand continues to reshape the industry. So don't miss this data-driven session unpacking the most important trends defining today's marketplace and the strategies leading brands are using to win retail's future.

Episode #1179 What if the connection you're looking for in your marriage has very little to do with sex and everything to do with emotional safety? In this episode of The TPM Show, Doug Holt is joined by TPM Coach Scott Wolford to explore what it truly means to create deep connection with your partner. Drawing from Scott's personal transformation through The Powerful Man, the conversation challenges the common belief that intimacy begins in the bedroom. Instead, they reveal how emotional presence, vulnerability, and consistent leadership create the foundation for lasting intimacy. Scott shares how years of chasing physical connection left both him and his wife feeling disconnected, and how learning to lead with love, strength, and emotional openness completely transformed their marriage. Together, Doug and Scott discuss why women need emotional safety before physical intimacy, how small daily moments of connection build trust, and why becoming the man your wife can truly feel changes everything. Whether your relationship is struggling or you're looking to deepen an already healthy marriage, this episode offers practical insights into creating the kind of connection that lasts.

Recorded on may 31, 2016 TOPICS: Richard B. Wingfield - Head Geek, Envision Design, LLC of Houston Texas:"I have been using Mac's in business since original Macintosh in '84 and Envision, as a consulting firm, has been around since 1993. Started part time as sole proprietor and 20+ years later we are now a firm of 5 full time consultants here in Houston.   I tell people I am a "recovering architect" as I got my start in technology practicing architecture and being the "tech guy" in every firm I ever worked for. I even helped manage a DEC vax/vms system for a firm in Austin soon after graduating from The University of Texas with a degree in Architecture.  This episode examines Richards own "recipe' for Managed Services. Here is a brief description as discussed: … Simple Hybrid Partner Plan is setup so almost all the clients "get it" and are not confused about how it works - 3 part invoice is made up of - small monthly fee per device (each mac, each windows, each iOS or android, each server… fees like $25/mac or $49/windows or $250/server etc) client must enroll ALL computers in the office (cant get cheap and have some on the system and some not) - our "consluting fee" - which is time for humans to do the work to manage, monitor, secure and maintain systems and ALWAYS includes a minimum of one 2hr visit per month  (more if needed or requested) - fees for services or hosting (if we host kerio email or rackspace or web or crashplan backups or re-sell backblaze)  ----------------------------------- You can find more about Richard and  Envision design here: Web: http://www.envisiondesign.net    

With AI evolving month-on-month and boardrooms demanding instant tech strategies, the old binary choice of “build versus buy” is starting to look like a trap. On this episode of The Zero100 Podcast, Justin Gillebo (Senior Director, Research & Advisory) sits down with Kelly Coutinho (VP, Research & Advisory) and Rahul George (Director, Data Products) to unpack why enterprise tech strategy has shifted into a new triad: build, buy, or partner. Tune in as they explore why building has become cheap while ownership hasn't, how to evaluate when a “bolt-on” AI solution makes sense, and why your ultimate goal shouldn't be predicting 2029, but building the operational agility to adapt when it arrives.

Philippians 4:10-19 | YOUR Needs Are Not Bigger Than God's SUPPLYYOU have been measuring YOUR need — and it keeps looking bigger than anything that could meet it.That is where the fear lives. YOU add it up. YOU look at what YOU have against what YOU owe, what YOU need against what is coming in, and the gap looks impossible. And the longer YOU stare at the size of the need, the more convinced YOU become that this is the one thing too big for God to cover. But this passage says YOU have been measuring the wrong thing.Philippians 4 ends with one of the most quoted promises in the entire Bible — and one of the most misunderstood.Because most people hear it as a nice sentiment: God will take care of you. But look at what the promise is actually measured against. It does not say God will supply according to the size of YOUR need. It does not say according to what is realistic, or what is left over, or what makes sense on paper. It says according to a completely different measure — a source so vast that the size of YOUR need becomes almost irrelevant next to it.The supply was never tied to the size of YOUR problem. It is tied to the size of His riches.Here is what most people miss. Before that promise is ever given, the person writing it shares a secret he had to learn — a way of living that most people never discover — that allowed him to be completely steady whether he had everything or almost nothing. He was not writing this from a place of abundance. He was writing it having known real lack. And the secret he learned in those seasons is the exact thing that unlocks the promise for YOU.But there is something else — a specific condition surrounding this promise that most people skip right over.This famous promise of supply was not spoken into a vacuum. It was attached to something specific these people had done — a way they had partnered, participated, and given into the mission of God when no one else would. The promise of "all your needs supplied" came directly on the heels of their willingness to be part of what God was doing. And that connection is the key that most people miss entirely when they claim this verse.There is a link in this passage between what YOU pour out and what God pours back — and between the secret of contentment and the promise of supply — that will completely change the way YOU look at both the need in front of YOU and the riches behind it.What was the secret he learned? What is the supply actually measured against? And what is the condition attached to the promise most people quote but never fully receive?Press play — because YOUR needs are not bigger than God's supply. This message will show YOU what the promise is really measured against, and why the source behind it makes YOUR biggest need look small.

If you're doing EVERYTHING in your relationship and starting to resent the hell out of your partner for it…we need to talk. You're the one who notices. Remembers. Plans. Worries. Follows up. Makes sure things actually happen. And after a while, it stops feeling like we're in this together and starts feeling like: Why am I the only one who cares? I've been a marriage counselor for over twenty years, and I can tell you: this dynamic can get ugly. Because underneath the arguments about dishes, schedules, kids, errands, and who was supposed to do what is something much more painful: If you really loved me, why would you let me carry all of this alone? That's why I invited sociologist Dr. Leah Ruppanner, author of Drained, to join me for a very real conversation about mental load, resentment, and how to create a relationship that actually feels balanced again. And some of what she shared surprised me. Because the solution may not be getting your partner to do more. It may not be splitting everything 50/50. And some of the things you're doing to make your relationship more equitable could actually be keeping you stuck. You'll discover: Why does the mental load turn into such intense resentment? What's really happening when you feel like you're the only one who cares? Why can asking your partner to “just help more” backfire? What if 50/50 isn't actually the healthiest goal? Are you unknowingly making it harder for your partner to step up? And how do you change this dynamic when your partner isn't changing? If you're exhausted from carrying your relationship (and even more exhausted from being angry about it), listen to this before you have the same fight again.

There's a popular Atlanta pastor who's getting dragged online because he's creating a podcast tour where he's going to sell tickets. A lot of people are complaining that he's selling the gospel. Of course, he doesn't see it that way, but there's a perception that he is actually selling the gospel. So, in this Pastor Chat, I want to share some thoughts around this question: When does business cross over into selling the gospel? How should you think about this, especially if you have a calling to ministry, like a pastor, or if you're a Christian putting on events, offering coaching, or doing other things that feel so closely connected to Christianity that it could appear you're selling the gospel? __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________

She built a thriving practice in Manhattan and appeared all over the media. Then she walked away, and it was never burnout. Samantha Nazareth is a gastroenterologist and the author of the memoir I Left Anyway: The Life I Was Supposed to Want. In this conversation she describes a deliberate triple exit from her practice, her home, and a ten-year relationship, and the six-week sabbatical that became years of travel. You will hear why she did not wait for retirement or a collapse to ask whether medicine could be all of her. She talks candidly about learning to swim as an adult, rebuilding an identity when your career is no longer the center of it, and sitting with the messy, uncertain in-between that most stories skip. If you have ever wondered what happens after the leap, this is the part no one describes. You will hear why the free fall after the leap is the real work, and what it takes to stay a student when the map runs out. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

This week on Dial Emma: What am I Missing?, I'm exploring a relationship question that sounds simple but carries real weight - one that's less about disagreement and more about the loneliness of feeling unseen inside a relationship.Why doesn't my partner understand me?Our listener says: "My partner and I have been together for four years. We rarely argue, but there's a recurring disconnect. When I've had a hard day, he jumps straight to solutions - but I just want to feel understood. He gets frustrated when I reject his help and we both end up feeling unheard and unappreciated."In this episode, I unpack three blind spots behind the feeling of being misunderstood:1. Confusing being understood with being agreed with. I introduce the concept of self-differentiation - the ability to stay standing in your own experience while remaining open and connected to someone else's.2. Giving the help we'd like to receive. One partner offers solutions because that's how they show care; the other needs empathy first. Neither is uncaring, they're just speaking different emotional languages. I revisit Gary Chapman's five love languages (acts of service, physical touch, words of affirmation, gift giving, quality time) not as boxes to pick from, but as a starting point for becoming "bilingual" in how we give and receive love.3. Certainty quietly replacing curiosity. Early in relationships we ask endless questions; years in, we assume we already know the answers. It's important to return to curiosity in relationships - to ask about who your partner is now, not just who they've been.Dial Emma is hosted by Emma Reed Turrell, produced by Lauren Brook.---Book my 2027 women's retreat at Bliss House in Crete: https://bliss-house-experience.replit.appSocial media:Emma Reed Turrell @emmareedturrellEmail: contact@dial-emma.uk
