He was in California giving a talk at Stanford. He was thinking about writing a book on free speech in the era of social media. He explained to Sheryl how he had the idea that Facebook would benefit from having a kind of private Supreme Court. And the idea was that all of the companies privately made content moderation decisions could actually be made in a more public and transparent way, according to principles and the doing so would add to the legitimacy of their decision-making process. She loved the idea and introduced him to Mark Zuckerberg, and the outcome was the Oversight Board. Noah explains his ongoing work advising tech companies on governance issues and the complexities of balancing free expression and ethics in the tech industry.

A leader who built his career on high-stakes investigations shares how those experiences now shape the culture, standards, and direction of a top litigation firm. Matthew L. Schwartz, Chair of Boies Schiller Flexner LLP, joins Chris Batz and Howard Rosenberg to talk about what it takes to lead a litigation-first firm without losing the sharpness that defines its work. He reflects on a decade in the Southern District of New York, where cases tied to General Motors, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and the fallout from Bernie Madoff shaped his views on judgment, clarity, and what clients actually want from their lawyers. Matthew explains why the firm gives young lawyers real responsibility early on and why senior lawyers thrive with the autonomy to build their practices without heavy bureaucracy. He also digs into the decisions that matter most right now: where to grow, how to align with client needs, and what pressures like AI, rising litigation costs, and outside capital mean for a disputes-only practice. The conversation circles back to a central question for any leader in high-stakes litigation: how do you build a firm where people think boldly, act with integrity, and stay committed to excellence when the pressure is highest? Matthew makes the case that culture, mentorship, and trust still carry the most weight.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Matthew L.

Drawing from his experience co-authoring books on gym and sports facility ownership, he emphasizes that success is not solely dependent on the business concept (the 'what') but significantly on the people involved (the 'who'). He highlights the importance of marketing to attract the right team members and clients who align with your values and passion.

In this episode of the Global Thinking Podcast, host Rob Duncan sits down with Matthew Barasch, Senior Portfolio Manager at RBC Dominion Securities, for a candid, wide-ranging look at the realities of investing in today's market environment. Barasch calls this one of the toughest years of his 25-year career — a market defined by narrow leadership, stubborn inflation, and a handful of tech and gold names carrying the load while everything else fights to keep up.   But beneath the volatility, Barasch sees a shift taking shape. He argues the worst may be behind Canada, pointing to improving job data, a more pro-growth federal budget, and the long-term lift from the country's massive immigration wave. With potential growth now outpacing the U.S., Canada may be better positioned than investors think.   The conversation digs into the Bank of Canada's rate-cut trajectory, the pressure cooker inside the U.S. Federal Reserve, and the implications for housing, consumers, and credit markets. Barasch spotlights high-quality Canadian names being overlooked, and offers a clear-eyed take on the gold market — a volatile but increasingly relevant refuge in a world drowning in debt.   Smart, direct, and refreshingly honest, this episode cuts through the noise to show where Canadian investors can still find solid footing — and where caution remains essential.   Chapters: 00:03:00 - Guest Introduction: Matthew Barasch 00:06:00 - Canadian Economic Outlook 00:09:00 - Role of Canadian Energy and Materials 00:12:00 - US Large Cap and Tech Concentration 00:15:00 - Market Challenges and Opportunities 00:18:00 - Impact of AI on Investments 00:21:00 - Global Financials and Economic Climate 00:24:00 - Future of Interest Rates 00:27:00 - International Equities and Market Potential 00:30:00 - Client Concerns and Market Sentiment 00:33:00 - Investment Strategies and Risk Management 00:36:00 - The Role of Technology in Finance 00:39:00 - Global Market Trends and Predictions 00:42:00 - Closing Thoughts and Recommendations 00:45:00 - Book Recommendations and Personal Insights 00:48:00 - Final Remarks and Episode Wrap-Up 00:51:00 - Outro and Call to Action     Disclosures: https://forstrong.com/disclosures/    Global Thinking Podcast Series - https://forstrong.com/podcast/    Global Thinking Insights - https://forstrong.com/insights/    Who is Forstrong Global - https://forstrong.com/who-we-are/    Ask Forstrong - https://forstrong.com/category/ask-forstrong/    Invest With Us - https://forstrong.com/invest-with-us/     Thank for you listening, please considering leaving a review and subscribing for future episodes.   For any questions, comments or suggested topics please reach out to Rob Duncan, rduncan@forstrong.com

Have you ever felt that quiet pressure to do it right — eat right, work right, rest right, even “heal” right — and wondered why it feels so heavy? In this episode, I'm exploring the hidden cost of trying to get it right — especially for ADHD women who are already juggling so much. This layer of perfectionism isn't about chasing approval; it's about trying to prevent chaos, exhaustion, or the overwhelm that comes when things go wrong. I share stories from my own life — from childhood moments of not being believed to adult experiences that taught me to stay hyper-vigilant — and unpack how this pattern is really a nervous system strategy for safety, not flawlessness. You'll learn how to recognize when your “do it right” part is trying to protect you, how to reconnect with your Self (the calm, compassionate center that knows what to do), and how to build the skills and structure that help you feel safe enough to be imperfect. Because true freedom doesn't come from doing it all right — it comes from knowing you can handle it when you don't. Mentioned in the episode: Check out my journal-book experience The Self-Loved Woman Way: How to Stop Playing Small with ADHD”.  It is a tangible journal-book that comes in a keepsake box with sensory items I selected to help you do this work - the deeper work of healing.

Are you tired of hearing about AI being the future while having no clue where to actually start today? Feeling overwhelmed by all the AI tools, platforms, and promises that seem more like science fiction than practical business solutions? You're not alone – and frankly, most of the AI advice out there is either too technical, too expensive, or just plain too theoretical for real business owners trying to run profitable companies. Here's the problem: Everyone's talking about AI transformation, but nobody's showing you the actual playbook that works whether you're running a 90-person agency or working solo from your kitchen table. You're being sold on massive enterprise solutions when what you really need is someone to say, 'Here's exactly how I use ChatGPT 20 times a day to make better decisions, write better emails, and run my business more efficiently - and here's how you can adapt these same systems even without a team.' Well, today we're solving that problem once and for all. I'm bringing you Ron Callis Jr., CEO and Co-Founder of One Firefly, a marketing powerhouse that serves technology integrators across North America. Ron isn't just talking about AI – he's living it daily.

Tendons adapt to training, but the mechanisms are complex. The Berlin Method emphasizes high loads for tendon adaptation. Muscle strength is important, but technique and application matter more. Calf muscles are notoriously difficult to grow in strength. Tendons require time to recover and adapt to training loads. Creep studies on tendons are often conducted in mechanical settings, not in vivo. Tendon strain measurements can vary significantly based on methodology. Individual differences in tendon response necessitate personalized training. Females may experience different tendon adaptations compared to males.
