Rod's message here is a passionate, intense call to confront the forces that are spiritually and emotionally draining people, especially the Body of Christ. Charlie Kirk's assassination symbolizes a real attack on influential figures of the faith movement, on freedom of thought and Speech. The war of light vs darkness is a timeless theme, representing the ongoing struggle between forces of good (light) and evil (darkness).NEW SONG AT THE END - CYCLESRods new music seems to be more than just an artistic expression—it sounds like it's intended as a bold, cathartic declaration to break the silence on trauma, emotional cycles, and societal manipulation. The idea of trauma loops and dark emotional cycles touches on how people get stuck in unhealthy patterns—whether through personal suffering, societal systems, or even the media—which often keep individuals or communities in a state of vulnerability, confusion, and suffering.In a broader sense, his music and message feel like a poetic rally cry to confront these systemic problems head-on.

This conversation between HFS and EY explores the digital acceleration of commercial banking, the impact of AI, and how EY supports banks in modernizing legacy systems, navigating geopolitical uncertainty, and building scalable, future-ready platforms. Key discussion points included:The discussion highlighted why commercial banking has historically lagged behind retail in digital transformation—and how that's rapidly changing due to evolving customer expectations and the demand for streamlined, data-driven treasury experiences.EY assists commercial banks in their modernization efforts by integrating digital strategy, UX redesign, and core system upgrades with deep risk and regulatory expertise.The conversation also examined how geopolitical volatility is increasing the need for strategic banking support, with commercial banks uniquely positioned to guide clients through uncertain times.AI emerged as a central theme—viewed as transformational but still in its early stages—with EY advising clients to focus on connected, high-impact use cases rather than isolated pilot initiatives.The session concluded with a forward-looking perspective on embedded finance, digital assets, and the evolving role of commercial banks as key enablers of client growth and agility. Commercial banks must accelerate their digital and AI transformation efforts—starting with pragmatic, high-value use cases—while leveraging their unique position to support clients through economic and geopolitical uncertainty. Rather than waiting for perfect data or systems, banks should prioritize building scalable platforms that integrate automation, AI, and user-centric design. Partnering with firms like EY can help bridge the gap between strategy, technology, and compliance to stay competitive and future ready.

What does it take to challenge centuries of tradition and shift an entire culture's relationship with alcohol? In this episode, I sit down with Moa Gürbüzer, a former social worker and family therapist who saw firsthand how alcohol harms families and communities. Rather than staying in the therapy room, Moa decided to tackle the issue at its roots: our cultural norms and rituals around drinking.At the age of 55, she founded Oddbird, a Swedish winery dedicated to producing world-class, non-alcoholic wines. Partnering with leading oenologists and more than 100 vineyards, Moa has turned skepticism into admiration—her wines are now served in Michelin-starred restaurants, featured at the Nobel Prize after-party, and even gifted to Porsche owners in Sweden.Moa shares her journey from being dismissed as an “outsider” to building a respected brand that blends craftsmanship, science, and social purpose. We talk about why shame is at the core of drinking culture, how women supporting women can accelerate change, and why failure should be celebrated as part of the entrepreneurial process.This is a conversation about innovation, resilience, and rewriting the rules—not only for the wine industry, but for how we celebrate, connect, and care for one another.This season of our podcast is brought to you by TD Canada Women in Enterprise.

Target Market Insights: Multifamily Real Estate Marketing Tips
Pascal Wagner is a former venture capitalist turned real estate investor who has built a $250,000 annual passive income portfolio through over 30 investments. As a VC at Techstars, he deployed $150 million into 300 companies, where he learned how top institutions analyze deals and manage risk. Today, he applies that same institutional approach to passive real estate investing while coaching others to invest with clarity and confidence. Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Most passive investors make the mistake of analyzing deals in isolation instead of starting with a clear investment thesis. Institutional investors use a scientific method—macro themes first, then micro criteria, then deal selection. Diversification is essential: Pascal built co-living homes in Atlanta but realized his mom's retirement couldn't rest on one asset class or city. Following institutional or family office investors can provide a safer entry point for LPs. Separate your “cash flow bucket” from your “equity growth bucket” to align investments with goals. Topics From Techstars to Real Estate Built early wealth through co-living rentals before joining Techstars as an investor. Learned institutional-level due diligence by reviewing thousands of deals. After his father's passing, managed his mother's retirement income and shifted focus to reliable passive strategies. How Institutions Invest Define a thesis first, then filter deals that fit. See hundreds of opportunities before investing in a few. Don't chase returns—find inevitable long-term trends and align investments accordingly. Developing Guardrails for LP Investing Criteria like vintage, roof types, and market selection come from experience and costly lessons. Partnering with operators who have already learned those lessons is critical. Institutional investors demand reporting, audits, and controls—retail investors can “follow” their lead. Buckets of Cash Flow vs. Equity Growth Co-living homes and private credit provide stable cash flow. High-risk equities (tech stocks, crypto) are placed in long-term equity growth buckets. Structured his mother's long-term holdings for inheritance tax advantages while using his own portfolio for near-term cash needs.

Philanthropy can change the way we think about business when it's treated as part of the culture rather than an afterthought. How does a company grow stronger when it gives back to the community that supports it? And how can service outside of work shape the kind of leader someone becomes? Sarah Lockwood talks with Brianna Borin, Chief Operating Officer of Snooze A.M. Eatery, about the lessons she has learned from nearly two decades of weaving community impact into her work. Brianna shares how Snooze's early days of volunteering at the Denver Rescue Mission set the tone for a company-wide approach that now includes programs like the Changemaker initiative and long-term partnerships with organizations such as Urban Peak. She also reflects on her own leadership development through board service, youth mentorship, and global volunteer experiences that have deepened her sense of personal satisfaction and purpose. Listeners can learn more about supporting youth experiencing homelessness through Urban Peak's Urban Nights Kicks & Culture Sneaker Ball at urbanpeak.org/urban-nights. Brianna also recommends Tommy Spaulding's books, The Heart-Led Leader and The Gift of Influence, which have shaped her vision of philanthropy and leadership. Her story and these resources show how integrating service into business not only builds stronger communities but also creates deeper fulfillment for leaders and their teams.

In this episode, I explore why audience growth is the lifeblood of scalable success. I illustrate this with the remarkable example of Alex Hormozi—whose “$100 M Money Models” launch drew over 1 million registrants and delivered tens of millions in revenue. From there, I introduce three powerful strategies—collaborations, summits, and bundles—and share actionable insights and real‑world examples to help you expand your impact quickly. Throughout the episode, my message is clear: you must be intentional and proactive in building your audience. By embracing strategic collaborations, leveraging the concentrated exposure of summits, and crafting high-value bundles, you'll put yourself in a strong position to grow purposefully and sustainably. Key Takeaways from the Episode Why Audience Growth Matters A substantial and engaged audience is the foundation for launching high-impact projects and scaling business revenue (e.g., Alex Hermozi's $100M launch). Strategy 1: Collaborations & Partnerships Join forces with complementary creators or businesses to tap into new audiences. Cross-promotion grows reach while lending authority. Partnering allows shared resources, content co-creation, and collaborative momentum. Strategy 2: Hosting & Joining Summits Summits provide concentrated exposure to highly engaged communities. Being a presenter or participant increases credibility and positions you as a thought leader. Offers opportunities for deeper engagement, follow-up funnels, and content repurposing. Strategy 3: Bundles Bundling courses, products, or services creates compelling offers that attract broader audiences. Strategic bundling enhances perceived value and promotes cross-selling. Bundles can also be promotional partnerships—pairing your offer with others for mutual growth. Overarching Principles Be strategic: Choose collaborations, summits, and bundles that align with your brand and audience. Be proactive: Don't wait for ideal partners—reach out, propose, and create opportunities. Be intentional: Plan each growth strategy with clear goals and execution pathways. If you enjoyed this episode then please feel free to go and share it on your social media or head over to Apple podcasts or Spotify and give me a review, I would be so very grateful.

Europe has just gained its first unapologetically defense-first venture fund. Archangel Ventures, led by Nicholas Nelson and Daniel Carew, is not here to hedge, not here to play dual-use semantics, but to put defense front and center.Nic brings the lived experience of government, strategy, and deployments, with the policy networks to match. Daniel comes from a deep tech/DARPA-inspired investing background, obsessed with the frontier of what technology can achieve. Together, they're building a fund that rejects the hype cycle and instead anchors itself in Europe's sovereignty, resilience, and the urgent reality of our geopolitical moment.Why Estonia? Why now? Because the frontier matters. From Tallinn to Vilnius to Warsaw, the tyranny of geography makes defense personal. Partnering with Superangel, Archangel is embedding itself in the heart of the Baltics—a region that already knows what it means to digitize, mobilize, and defend.Archangel Ventures is a platform, a coalition of the willing, a bet that Europe can and must build its own defense ecosystem. As they put it, defense is not a bubble, not a passing Ukraine-driven hype cycle. It's the crucible where the next generation of European technology—and deterrence—will be forged.We're proud to have launched this journey with them on the pod. Tune in: 01:00 Origins of Archangel — Nic on why he wouldn't start with just any partner.04:00 Why they teamed up — Daniel recalls NATO roots and complementary skillsets.08:30 Why defense-first matters — Nic explains why dual-use doesn't work at seed.11:00 The timing challenge — Daniel on NATO's long horizon investing.14:00 Portfolio construction — Nic's three buckets: unmet needs, future needs, unknown unknowns.20:00 Filling the ecosystem gap — Daniel on bridging startups and primes in Europe.27:00 Why Estonia — Nic on geography and teaming with Superangel.33:00 Personal ties — Daniel on his Estonian family and NATO links.41:00 On working with primes — Nic pushes back on the “dinosaurs” narrative.53:00 Risks ahead — Nic on what happens if the war in Ukraine ends tomorrow.

In this special edition of The Georgia Politics Podcast, we continue our series on 1975 with a spirited debate about one of the most consequential figures of American history. Partnering with Student Leadership North, the podcast goes live with a group of high school leaders who take the stage to wrestle with a question that is as much about values as it is about history: Were Congress and President Gerald Ford correct to pardon Confederate General Robert E. Lee? The students dive deep into the context surrounding Lee's role in the Civil War, his life after it, and the symbolic weight of his eventual pardon. They bring fresh eyes and diverse perspectives, weighing themes of forgiveness, justice, reconciliation, and accountability. Along the way, they challenge each other to consider how we confront uncomfortable history, and whether healing can come without consequence. This episode captures the energy of young leaders testing ideas in real time, sharpening their arguments, and learning to see politics not just as policy, but as people wrestling with hard choices. It's a lively, thoughtful, and sometimes surprising debate that reminds us why civic education matters, and why the voices of the next generation deserve a platform.

The Setting Trick: Conversations with World Class Bridge Players
In this episode, John McAllister sits down with Emanuel Unge, the creator of Cue Bids, the hottest app in bridge today. Emanuel shares how he discovered bridge at age 25. After years of poker and board games, and how that late start completely reshaped his life — leading him to meet his wife, build lifelong friendships, and ultimately create a platform that has transformed how players practice bidding worldwide. From his early simulations to today's sleek app used by the world's best, Emanuel opens up about the passion and persistence behind Cue Bids, why feedback drives innovation, and how features like Leak Finder are helping players spot weaknesses and grow. Along the way, he talks about competing in Sweden, balancing tech with family, his surprising victories at the table, and even what he'd say to Bill Gates if the two crossed paths at a tournament. Key Highlights:
Sameer Malhotra is the CEO and co-founder of Café Spice, a nationally distributed brand bringing authentic Indian cuisine to a broad American audience. Raised in a family of restaurateurs, Sameer has grown Café Spice from a single restaurant concept into a $50 million food manufacturing business.Café Spice is a family-owned food company specializing in globally inspired, ready-to-eat meals. Partnering with Whole Foods Market and other retailers, Café Spice provides hot bar items, refrigerated and frozen meals, and private-label products for supermarket chains across the U.S.Founded in 1998 as a bistro-style Indian restaurant in New York City, Café Spice transitioned from restaurants to large-scale food manufacturing after Whole Foods tapped the brand to supply its Indian hot bars. Today, Café Spice operates from a state-of-the-art 70,000-square-foot facility, produces both branded and private-label products, and continues to innovate with new offerings like Cantina Latina, a Latin-inspired line of prepared meals.Growing up in his family's acclaimed Indian restaurants gave Sameer firsthand insight into the challenges and opportunities of introducing Indian cuisine to America.Café Spice pivoted from restaurants to manufacturing after landing Whole Foods as a client, eventually supplying Indian food to every Whole Foods hot bar in the country.Company culture emphasizes “grittiness and safety,” with longtime employees playing a key role in consistency and growth.Scaling recipes for national distribution required investments in food safety, standardized spice rooms, and consistent culinary processes.Education and sampling are central to marketing—demos help consumers overcome misconceptions that all Indian food is spicy or “just curry.” QUOTES “Whole Foods decided they were going to open an Indian hot bar, and that's where the entire business changed. Now, 20 years later, we make the Indian food for their hot bars in every store in the country.” (Sameer)“We've always been a gritty team. Culture is grittiness and culture is safety.” (Sameer)“As restaurateurs, you're creating food that's going to be consumed within an hour. Here, we're making food that may be frozen or refrigerated and eaten days later. Food safety became the most important part.” (Sameer)“I walked into the Whole Foods office in a suit, 23 years old, and the guy who greeted me was in cargo shorts and flip-flops. I felt completely out of place.” (Sameer)“Spice is always a trend. Generationally, spice is much more accepted now than when we started the business.” (Sameer)“Rather than discounting, I focus on demos. People need to taste the food and realize how good it is.” (Sameer)“The biggest misconception is that all Indian food is curry and all Indian food is spicy. Not everything is curry, and not all Indian food is spicy.” (Sameer)“We changed the name from ‘alugobi' to ‘curried cauliflower and potatoes' and sales doubled. People knew what it was.” (Sameer)“We put in robotic arms for packaging. It increased output, reduced giveaway, and didn't reduce jobs. Technology has been a game changer.” (Sameer)“Surround yourself with like-minded people, but also fill the gaps you don't have. You need people who will push you—not just yes men.” (Sameer)

"Business partnering is what sets apart good procurement teams from great procurement teams, especially in indirect procurement... Those who are good at partnering with the business, they actually are able to excel." - Sasha Sergeev, Director of Technical & Corporate Procurement, Nova Chemicals Procurement must evolve beyond traditional cost-focused metrics to become true business partners that drive organizational success. The most mature procurement teams understand that delivering exceptional stakeholder support and building embedded relationships creates far more value than savings alone. In this episode of the Art of Procurement podcast, recorded at the Supply Chain Canada National Conference, procurement transformation leader Sasha Sergeev, Director of Technical & Corporate Procurement at Nova Chemicals, reveals the comprehensive approach his organization used to elevate their indirect procurement team from good to great through strategic business partnering. Sasha shares practical insights on conducting honest maturity assessments, embedding procurement professionals within business teams, and building stakeholder relationships that separate high-performing procurement organizations from the rest. Sasha also discusses: How to conduct comprehensive procurement maturity assessments using both quantitative benchmarks and qualitative stakeholder feedback The critical importance of honest, anonymous feedback in identifying procurement's blind spots and pain points Strategies for embedding procurement business partners directly within stakeholder teams and daily operations Why in-person engagement accelerates relationship building and trust, though virtual partnering can also be effective How to train procurement professionals to balance being helpful business partners while maintaining appropriate governance Links: Sasha Sergeev on LinkedIn Subscribe to This Week in Procurement Subscribe to Art of Procurement on YouTube

Recorded: August 18th 2025 | Will Compton and Taylor Lewan are bringing the Commissioner of College Football on to the team full-time! Josh Pate, college football’s favorite analyst, hops on the bus to talk shop on the 2025 season, and how his career has led up to the lore of what now is, Pate State University. Before Josh joins, the Boys kick things off with a little preseason heat: Will breaks down UFC 319, Taylor gives his early Bussin’ Bowl predictions, and we get an official update on Papa Lewan’s first pitch mental prep for the KC first pitch. Then it’s time for the man, the myth, the Late Kick legend himself—Josh Pate. The Boys get into everything from NIL chaos and conference realignment to which coaches are built for war and which programs are living off vibes. Josh pulls back the curtain on what it’s like building a football empire on YouTube, what fanbases really move the needle, and how he handles getting roasted online weekly. Whether you’re an SEC diehard or a sicko watching Mountain West football at 2 a.m., this one’s for you. Big hugs, tiny kisses.
