Greg Heinz, Senior Director of Brand and Digital Strategy at Optimizely, led the company's rebrand — and he argues AI should amplify creative work rather than automate it away. Recorded live at Opticon 2026 in New York City.A rebrand is repositioning, not a new logo. Heinz walks through the research behind Optimizely's brand evolution, the market signals that made the case internally, and what the company had to give up to make the new promise credible.The line between amplification and authorship gets drawn on purpose. "AI" covers everything from a tool that speeds up a designer to a system that ships work with nobody in the authoring seat. Heinz on where he insisted a person stay in the seat, and why.A brand is proven by behavior, not messaging. What had to change in product decisions, sales conversations, and the digital experience for the new positioning to be true — and what keeps the brand recognizable as one company as the volume of expression goes up.Greg Heinz and Greg Kihlström also get into what changes when the first thing evaluating your brand is an AI system researching on a buyer's behalf rather than a person.About Greg HeinzGreg is a marketing manager with over fifteen years of professional experience in B2B software solutions and services, Healthcare, Sports and Entertainment.

In today's episode, I chat with Susan Saint-Rossy, LCSW, LICSW, a couples therapist who helps other couples therapists build their practices, about the nuances that make marketing to couples so different from marketing to individuals. We dig into writing to two buyers at once (who often have different agendas), why niching within a niche means describing the relational dynamic you love working with, why couples usually find you in an act of desperation rather than through a friend's referral, & why individual therapists are your best referral source. Susan's also doing a full training on this for Abundance Party members, so if you work with couples (or want to), don't miss it. Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

The Army awarded Palantir and Anduril a combined $192 million in delivery orders for the service's Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) program, officials announced Tuesday, pushing the targeting platform into a production phase. Having been in development for several years, officials have touted TITAN as a “game changing” mobile ground station capable of using artificial intelligence to ingest data from a variety of sensors and package it into target recommendations, specifically for long-range fires. The Army awarded Palantir a $178.4 million deal in 2024 to deliver 10 TITAN prototypes after the company beat-out RTX for the rights to build the TITAN. Under the latest delivery announcement, the Army expects to receive eight more over the next 18 months, officials said in a press release. “This effort is the result of soldier feedback we have received over the past four years of prototyping from units utilizing TITAN prototypes in multiple configurations across diverse operating environments,” Col. Jonathan Lipscomb, a project manager for the Army's intelligence systems and analytics portfolio, said in the release. “It drastically reduces sensor-to-shooter timelines through automated target nominations while fusing the common intelligence picture.” Immigration and Customs Enforcement is expecting to allocate between $2 million and $5 million to a contractor that will help it handle and analyze voter data amid increasing fraud detection efforts centered on elections, per an acquisition forecast document published Monday. The firm-fixed-price contract is expected to be awarded in the coming weeks following an estimated solicitation release next week. The work, which is in support of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations unit, will run through the end of the month. The contract forecast planning document follows a request for information that ICE posted last week. The Department of Homeland Security unit began the market research process to gather information about “handling and secure delivery of publicly available voter registration files and voter history files” to support HSI “fraud detection and data segmentation activities.” The comment period lasted just three days, closing Aug. 28. In an attached statement of work draft, ICE said it planned to tap a contractor to acquire and document voter registration and history files from “government-identified U.S. jurisdictions,” which it described as up to all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and any American territory that it chooses.

How do you preserve physical video games in a world increasingly designed around downloads? How much would you pay for a really good keyboard? And what exactly happens when you sort the Nintendo Switch store from cheapest to most expensive? Those questions—and several much stranger ones—come up on AwesomeCast 794 with Sorg, Katie Dudas, and Dave Podnar. Xbox Finds a New Use for the Game Disc One of the episode's biggest discussions centers on Microsoft's Xbox Discs to Digital initiative. The concept offers an interesting middle ground between physical and digital ownership. A supported Xbox disc can be authenticated and connected to a player's digital library, potentially giving players digital access while the disc itself continues to function as the transferable proof of ownership. That last part is important. If the disc is sold and authenticated by somebody else, the digital access moves with it. For Sorg, who has stacks of Xbox One games and a console with a failed optical drive, this could solve a very practical problem. It also opens possibilities for finding inexpensive used Xbox games at stores such as GameStop and turning them into accessible digital titles. There are still questions surrounding Xbox 360 compatibility, licensing, sports games, delisted games and publisher participation, but it is a fascinating attempt to bridge two very different eras of game ownership. https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/08/26/your-discs-now-also-digital/?ocid=Platform_soc_omc_xbo_fb_Photo_lrn_8.26.2 Gamers Say They Want Physical Games. Are They Buying Them? That question carries directly into this week's ChachiSays Video Game Minute. Chachi points to figures showing U.S. spending on physical video games falling to levels not seen since physical-game statistics began being tracked in 1995. Nintendo represented a sizable portion of the remaining physical market. The contradiction is hard to ignore: gamers regularly criticize publishers for abandoning physical media, but those products need enough buyers to justify continuing to manufacture and distribute them. https://www.tomshardware.com/video-games/console-gaming/us-console-sales-fall-39-percent-in-july-as-memory-costs-push-average-price-to-542 Generative AI Comes to Gamescom Chachi also discusses reports of generative AI being used during development of multiple titles connected to Gamescom 2026. The larger concern is not simply whether AI tools exist inside game development. The segment focuses on how companies disclose that use, what work the systems replace, and whether developers are being transparent with their audiences. Project Zeta, Aion 2, Train Sim World 7, Crimson Desert and Crazy Taxi: World Tour are among the games brought up during the discussion. https://kotaku.com/opening-night-live-2026-genai-slop-games-geoff-keighley-2000728477 Roku City Quietly Remembers Three Entertainment Icons Katie highlights a much more thoughtful use of technology: the little visual Easter eggs hidden inside Roku City. The screensaver incorporated imagery referencing Dolly Parton and Tim Curry along with an Optimus Prime-inspired tribute to Peter Cullen. That leads the crew into memories of Cullen's massive voice-acting career and the strange experience of realizing, years later, just how many familiar childhood characters were voiced by the same small group of performers. https://www.instagram.com/p/DcrPR8alYG3/?img_index=1 From Hubble to the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Dave's Awesome History segment turns toward NASA and astronomer Nancy Grace Roman. Roman played an important role in pushing space-based astronomy forward, helping lay the groundwork for what ultimately became the Hubble Space Telescope. The telescope carrying her name represents another enormous leap in what astronomers can observe. The hosts discuss its much wider field of view, the search for exoplanets, dark matter and dark energy, as well as the unusual orbital environments used by major observatories. https://www.planetary.org/articles/the-nancy-grace-roman-space-telescope-launch It's Already LEGO Advent Calendar Season Katie has an annual public-service announcement: if you want a particular Advent Calendar, buy it when you see it. LEGO's 2026 calendars are already appearing, including traditional Christmas offerings alongside Star Wars, Marvel and Disney sets. Waiting until December is how you end up frantically checking every store in town for the one calendar somebody decided they absolutely had to have. https://www.lego.com/en-us/search?q=advent%20calendar%202026&suggestion=true The $100,000 Keyboard Dave then discovers a corner of technology that makes even premium mechanical keyboards look inexpensive. A social video begins with keyboards priced in the hundreds of dollars, moves into models costing thousands, and eventually reaches one sitting around the $100,000 mark. At that point, calling something a “computer accessory” may no longer adequately explain what is happening. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1593262308558803 Brütal Legend Honors Tim Curry for 666 Minutes Double Fine found an extremely appropriate way to honor Tim Curry by making Brütal Legend free for 666 minutes. The Xbox 360-era heavy-metal adventure stars Jack Black and features Curry among its memorable cast. Sorg recently returned to the game and found that, despite showing its age in places, it remains surprisingly enjoyable. https://www.ign.com/articles/double-fine-productions-makes-brutal-legend-free-for-666-minutes-to-honor-tim-curry?link_source=ta_first_comment&taid=6a905803b9a113000189638d&utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook Donkey Kong Country: CGI From Another Time Speaking of things that have aged differently, Sorg rediscovers the computer-animated Donkey Kong Country television series from the late 1990s. The show provides an incredible time capsule of early television CGI: stiff animation, questionable lip synchronization and character models that can occasionally drift into nightmare territory. And yet there is something fascinating about seeing what creators were able to accomplish with 1990s rendering technology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWpI4vahfIY Sort the Nintendo eShop From Cheap to Expensive. You Have Been Warned. There is another kind of digital archaeology available right now. Go to the Nintendo Switch store. Sort everything from lowest price to highest. Start scrolling. The result is a journey through inexpensive retro games, indie releases, zombie games, cat games, simulators, dating games, suspiciously AI-looking artwork and enough shovelware to keep the AwesomeCast crew entertained far longer than expected. There are legitimate bargains hiding in the pile—but finding them is part of the adventure. https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/sales-and-deals/#show=0&p=1&sort=pa&f=priceRangeFilter&priceRangeFilter=%240+-+%244.99 Commodore 64 Meets Cyberpunk The episode's final major retro-tech rabbit hole comes courtesy of a Cyberpunk-themed Commodore 64. The unusual crossover sends Katie and Dave back into memories of the original beige Commodore machines, while Dave recalls using GEOS for word processing and schoolwork long before the modern Windows experience became standard. https://commodore.net/store/commodore64/ Plus: Giant Medals, Slow USB-C Cables and Video Game Wrestling Dave also shows off the giant magnetic medals earned through the Pro Football Hall of Fame virtual race series. https://runsignup.com/Race/OH/Canton/HOFRaceSeries Katie introduces what may become a recurring feature, “What Is Katie Labeling Now?”, after discovering one of her USB-C cables was charging her laptop dramatically slower than the others. And before any of that, the crew revisits Sorgstock and its real-life video game wrestling match, where the performers recreated all of the awkward movement, button mashing, missed attacks and controller confusion of playing a wrestling game when nobody remembers the controls. From the future of game ownership to 1980s computers and $100,000 keyboards, AwesomeCast 794 once again proves there is always something wonderfully strange happening in technology.
The Doctrine of Balaam: Exposing Corruption in the Modern Prophetic Movement | KIB 547 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing DESCRIPTION THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM: EXPOSING CORRUPTION IN THE MODERN PROPHETIC MOVEMENT Kingdom Intelligence Briefing — Episode 547 What does the biblical account of Balaam reveal about the modern prophetic movement? Balaam presents one of Scripture's most sobering examples of supernatural gifting separated from godly character. He could encounter genuine supernatural revelation. He could speak words God placed in his mouth. He even delivered a remarkable prophecy concerning the coming Messiah. Yet Balaam's supernatural experiences did not transform his character. His heart remained vulnerable to money, honor, influence, compromise, and access to kings. That creates a critical warning for the Church today: · Prophetic accuracy does not necessarily equal divine approval. · Supernatural power does not equal holiness. · Revelation does not equal character. · Gifting does not equal maturity. · Anointing does not equal obedience. Jesus taught that fruit remains essential in discerning spiritual ministry. In KIB 547, Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake undertake a biblical examination of Balaam and discover that the New Testament gives us three powerful categories for understanding prophetic corruption: THE WAY OF BALAAM — 2 Peter 2:15 THE ERROR OF BALAAM — Jude 1:11 THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM — Revelation 2:14 Together, these passages provide a biblical framework for evaluating modern prophetic ministry. The episode examines how genuine or claimed spiritual gifting can become corrupted when joined with covetousness, ambition, political influence, celebrity, sexual compromise, financial manipulation, and the commercialization of spiritual authority. One of the deepest theological observations in the episode is this: Balaam wanted God's power without God's government. That same temptation remains possible today: · Prophecy without holiness. · Power without obedience. · Gifts without character. · Authority without accountability. · Revelation without Scripture. · Anointing without crucifying the flesh. · Kingdom authority without submission to the King. True biblical prophetic ministry cannot be separated from covenant faithfulness and obedience. THE WAY OF BALAAM Second Peter 2:15 identifies Balaam as one "who loved gain from wrongdoing." · The problem is not legitimate financial support for ministry. · The danger begins when money starts influencing ministry. · When access to a prophet is sold. · When prophetic words become commodities. · When larger offerings produce more favorable prophecies. · When invitations, platforms, donors, and political connections begin determining what a minister will—or will not—say. · At that point, the gift is being monetized. Biblical ministry may receive support, but God's gifts must never become merchandise. THE ERROR OF BALAAM Jude 1:11 exposes another dimension. A minister can begin assuming that because supernatural manifestations continue, God must approve of the minister's character and conduct. Balaam destroys that assumption. Something supernatural happening does not prove that God approves of the vessel. The question must move beyond: "Was the prophecy accurate?" We must also ask: · Does the ministry exalt Jesus Christ? · Does it submit prophetic claims to Scripture? · Does it produce holiness and repentance? · Does it strengthen covenant faithfulness? · Is there humility? · Is there financial and sexual integrity? · Is there meaningful accountability? · Are failed predictions acknowledged? · Does the ministry create dependence upon Christ—or dependence upon the prophet? · Does it produce mature disciples—or prophetic consumers? And perhaps one of the most important questions: Will the prophet speak the truth when doing so could cost the prophet money, popularity, political access, followers, conference invitations, or the entire platform? The episode contrasts Balaam with Micaiah, who was willing to suffer rather than alter the word God had given him. THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM Revelation 2:14 takes the warning even further. Personal corruption eventually becomes doctrine. Balaam discovered that he could not directly curse the people God had blessed. Instead, Israel was enticed into idolatry and sexual immorality. The pattern becomes: · Gift · Revelation · Opportunity · Desire for reward · Compromise · Rationalization · Prophetic corruption · Teaching others to compromise · Covenantal judgment The compromised minister eventually becomes an architect of compromise in others. DON'T THROW OUT THE TRUE BECAUSE OF THE FALSE This episode is not an argument for rejecting biblical prophetic ministry. Quite the opposite. The existence of counterfeit ministry makes biblical discernment even more important. Jesus places the doctrine of Balaam inside the Church in Revelation 2:14. The warning to Pergamum therefore provides a serious pattern for examining what the Church tolerates. The answer is not cynicism. The answer is testing. "Prove all things." Return everything to Scripture. Reject the false. Hold fast to what is good. And allow God to restore genuine biblical ministry. The closing message of KIB 547 is ultimately one of hope: God is preparing His remnant, exposing what is false, and calling His people back to Christ, His Kingdom, His Word, holiness, and covenant faithfulness.

Today for "Everyday Money #5":-- There is a pattern that shows up again and again when you study companies that manage to keep growing long after their first product matures. They do not just add features. They build entirely new verticals, one after another, each one landing faster than the one before. Revolut is one of the clearest examples of this playbook in action. The company entered the UK in 2015 with three simple propositions: prepaid FX cards, peer-to-peer payments, and multi-currency accounts. That was the wedge. It gave people a reason to open the app regularly, without the usual banking friction. The interesting part is what happened next.

Freddie sits down with Peter Simonson — a Georgia Tech-trained mechanical engineer who invented Medtronic's TSRH-3D spinal implant system before turning his focus to bone health as President and Co-Founder of Juvent — for a deep dive into micro-impact therapy and why bone may be the most overlooked organ system in longevity conversations. Peter walks through the history of vitamin discovery, starting with scurvy and vitamin C, as a framework for understanding micro-impact as a daily mechanical requirement rather than a treatment for any single condition. From there, the conversation moves into the engineering itself: why the Juvent Micro-Impact Platform® is capped at 0.3G, how frequency and load are two entirely different safety variables, and why a body of vibration-safety literature exists in occupational safety research that most clinicians have never encountered. Peter also references a study conducted at St. Jude on bone density outcomes in pediatric transplant patients, and the two share personal family stories — Freddie's mother and Peter's mother — about osteoporosis and mobility later in life. Note: this conversation covers emerging research and technology. Some figures and studies mentioned reflect the guest's own citations and firsthand experience shared in conversation.

Today we're chatting with Ivana Perbi, founder of Wardrobe Affaire, the world's first discovery platform dedicated to pre-loved fashion events, which is on a mission to help secondhand event organizers seamlessly host fashion experiences and help shoppers discover them – all over the world. Ivana grew up in southern Germany, where secondhand wasn't a trend but simply how her family shopped, and where weekends at the flea market where her mother sold clothes shaped her eye for style. After a decade working inside luxury fashion houses like Louis Vuitton and Chanel, a research trip back to her birthplace of Accra, Ghana — and a visit to the sprawling Kantamanto secondhand market — changed everything for her. Ivana left the corporate world, retrained as a UX designer, and launched a fashion rental platform in Berlin. But after three years of testing, and some incredibly successful event pop-ups, she recognized a much bigger opportunity and pivoted Wardrobe Affaire into what it is today: a platform built to solve the real logistical headaches of hosting and discovering pre-loved fashion events.

The same player isn't the same value on every platform. ESPN, Yahoo and Sleeper all price players differently, which means the guy you're reaching for in one league is a bargain in another. Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet go position by position and platform by platform to find the biggest gaps between where each site's ADP has a player and where Kendall actually ranks him. Every value comes with the exact math: the positional ADP, Kendall's positional rank, the difference, and how many spots of overall value you're capturing. At quarterback it's Justin Herbert on ESPN, going as the QB14 at pick 106 despite ranking as a top-10 quarterback — a twenty-spot overall gap. Brock Purdy is the Yahoo answer, Trevor Lawrence the Sleeper one, and Caleb Williams and Joe Burrow show up in the top-five value lists too. Running back gets interesting because Kenneth Walker is the answer on both ESPN and Yahoo, but at meaningfully different prices, while Sleeper's ADP creates a much bigger opening on Rhamondre Stevenson. At receiver it's three different names entirely: Mike Evans on ESPN, Garrett Wilson on Yahoo, and Chris Godwin on Sleeper. Tight end is where it gets strange. Dalton Kincaid on ESPN and Mark Andrews on Yahoo are both positional values that come with negative overall value — meaning you're getting a good tight end at a bad total price, which is a trap worth understanding before you take one. Sleeper is the only platform where the math works cleanly. Each position also gets the full top-five value board for that platform, so you're not just walking away with one name. Find out which site you're drafting on and draft accordingly.

That's what makes the current moment so interesting: monetization watch hour requirements are rising, top creators are being courted like celebrities, and new features are rolling out that can help you keep up if you know how to use them.We dig into reports that YouTube is offering major creators serious money to turn down Netflix deals and may withhold certain perks if they publish on competing platforms. Even if you're not a giant channel, the implications matter: it signals where power is moving in the creator economy, why the “middle class creator” feels squeezed, and how creative control becomes the real currency when traditional streaming money shows up.Then we get practical. YouTube now lets streamers use third-party encoders to go live in both vertical and horizontal formats at the same time with one shared chat. We share our real-world results using StreamYard, compare vertical versus landscape performance, and explain why treating a livestream like a tight, no-fluff video can dramatically improve retention and long-tail views while adding real watch time toward monetization.We also explore why authentic, lightly produced “real job” videos are popping off, and we close with a warning about a disturbing new YouTube donation scam built on stolen clips and fake claims.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Nidhi Singhvi. Co-founder and CEO of OnVault, an AI-powered financial platform designed to help consumers value, track, and sell their gold jewelry. The conversation explores how millions of Americans may be sitting on untapped wealth in the form of jewelry and other precious metal assets without realizing their true value. Singvi discusses the mission behind OnVault: transforming personal jewelry from a forgotten possession into a transparent, trackable financial asset. By combining artificial intelligence, mobile technology, and financial education, OnVault aims to empower consumers to understand, manage, and monetize the value of their jewelry. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Introduce OnVault and explain how AI is changing jewelry valuation. Educate consumers about the hidden value of gold jewelry and tangible assets. Promote financial literacy through asset awareness. Explain how technology can provide transparency in jewelry sales and valuation. Challenge the negative perceptions associated with pawn shops and traditional jewelry resale. Demonstrate how dormant assets can become tools for financial flexibility and wealth-building. Key Takeaways 1. Many Americans Are Sitting on Hidden Wealth Nidhi Singvi estimates that hundreds of billions of dollars in gold jewelry are sitting unused in homes across America. Most people view jewelry as sentimental possessions rather than financial assets. 2. Jewelry Should Be Treated Like Other Assets Consumers regularly track the value of stocks, homes, cars, and collectibles. Singvi argues that jewelry should be viewed similarly, especially gold jewelry whose value fluctuates with market prices. 3. AI Makes Valuation Easier and More Accessible OnVault allows users to upload photos of their jewelry and receive an AI-generated valuation. The platform analyzes factors such as: Gold content Weight Construction type Age and style of the piece Current gold market prices This eliminates the need for expensive appraisals or visits to jewelry stores. 4. Transparency Is the Company's Core Differentiator Singvi repeatedly emphasizes transparency as a key advantage over traditional resale channels. Customers receive: Detailed valuation reports Video documentation of inspections Explanations of how offers are calculated Breakdowns of gold, gemstone, and diamond values 5. The Traditional Pawn Shop Experience Needs Reinvention A major theme of the discussion is the emotional discomfort people often associate with pawn shops. Singvi believes technology can remove the stigma, uncertainty, and lack of transparency that consumers frequently experience. 6. Financial Literacy Should Include Tangible Assets The interview highlights that financial education often focuses on: Budgeting Saving Investing Credit Singvi believes consumers should also understand the value of physical assets they already own. 7. Gold Remains an Important Asset Class Singvi explains that gold has experienced significant appreciation and has outperformed many traditional investment indexes over extended periods. She encourages consumers to understand how gold pricing affects jewelry values. 8. OnVault's Long-Term Vision Extends Beyond Jewelry Sales The company's vision includes helping consumers: Track jewelry values Sell jewelry Access loans using jewelry-backed portfolios Obtain insurance coverage Manage jewelry as part of a broader financial plan 9. AI Vision Technology Created the Opportunity Advances in AI image recognition now allow OnVault to analyze a simple photograph and estimate a jewelry item's dimensions and value with a high level of confidence. 10. Convenience Drives Adoption Users can complete the valuation process from home using only a smartphone and a web browser, removing many of the barriers traditionally associated with jewelry appraisal and resale. Notable Quotes On OnVault's Mission "We want to start with the education of gold and jewelry as an asset." On Consumer Empowerment "We want people to understand their jewelry before they even think of selling it." On Transparency "We send you the entire video of the process." On Understanding Value "That entire evaluation is just for the customer to know a little bit more before selling their jewelry." On Financial Awareness "Jewelry is actually one of the most real assets you can own." On Consumer Education "First is understand it, then you can sell wherever you want to sell." On Hidden Wealth "There is a lot of gold in the U.S. We think of it as an asset class." On the Company's Mission "We want there to be respect in this process of understanding the value and then selling jewelry." On Future Services "We can help you sell your jewelry. We can give you loans on top of it. We can help you insure it." On AI's Role "We could actually take a photo of a ring and understand its dimensions." On Accessibility "We don't want you to leave home. We want you to do that piece at home so that everything else becomes easier." On Simplifying Wealth Discovery "The process takes 60 seconds." On Long-Term Impact "We are changing people's perception on jewelry." Bottom Line The interview positions OnVault as a modern financial technology platform that seeks to unlock the hidden value of personal jewelry through AI, transparency, and financial education. Nidhi Singvi's central message is that many consumers already own valuable assets but lack the tools to understand and leverage them. By making valuation simple, transparent, and accessible, OnVault aims to transform jewelry from a forgotten possession into a meaningful component of personal wealth and financial planning. #BEST #SHMS #STRAW Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

Customers receive: Detailed valuation reports Video documentation of inspections Explanations of how offers are calculated Breakdowns of gold, gemstone, and diamond values 5. The Traditional Pawn Shop Experience Needs Reinvention A major theme of the discussion is the emotional discomfort people often associate with pawn shops. Singvi believes technology can remove the stigma, uncertainty, and lack of transparency that consumers frequently experience. 6. Financial Literacy Should Include Tangible Assets The interview highlights that financial education often focuses on: Budgeting Saving Investing Credit Singvi believes consumers should also understand the value of physical assets they already own. 7. Gold Remains an Important Asset Class Singvi explains that gold has experienced significant appreciation and has outperformed many traditional investment indexes over extended periods. She encourages consumers to understand how gold pricing affects jewelry values. 8. OnVault's Long-Term Vision Extends Beyond Jewelry Sales The company's vision includes helping consumers: Track jewelry values Sell jewelry Access loans using jewelry-backed portfolios Obtain insurance coverage Manage jewelry as part of a broader financial plan 9. AI Vision Technology Created the Opportunity Advances in AI image recognition now allow OnVault to analyze a simple photograph and estimate a jewelry item's dimensions and value with a high level of confidence. 10. Convenience Drives Adoption Users can complete the valuation process from home using only a smartphone and a web browser, removing many of the barriers traditionally associated with jewelry appraisal and resale. Notable Quotes On OnVault's Mission "We want to start with the education of gold and jewelry as an asset." On Consumer Empowerment "We want people to understand their jewelry before they even think of selling it." On Transparency "We send you the entire video of the process." On Understanding Value "That entire evaluation is just for the customer to know a little bit more before selling their jewelry." On Financial Awareness "Jewelry is actually one of the most real assets you can own." On Consumer Education "First is understand it, then you can sell wherever you want to sell." On Hidden Wealth "There is a lot of gold in the U.S. We think of it as an asset class." On the Company's Mission "We want there to be respect in this process of understanding the value and then selling jewelry." On Future Services "We can help you sell your jewelry. We can give you loans on top of it. We can help you insure it." On AI's Role "We could actually take a photo of a ring and understand its dimensions." On Accessibility "We don't want you to leave home. We want you to do that piece at home so that everything else becomes easier." On Simplifying Wealth Discovery "The process takes 60 seconds." On Long-Term Impact "We are changing people's perception on jewelry." Bottom Line The interview positions OnVault as a modern financial technology platform that seeks to unlock the hidden value of personal jewelry through AI, transparency, and financial education. Nidhi Singvi's central message is that many consumers already own valuable assets but lack the tools to understand and leverage them. By making valuation simple, transparent, and accessible, OnVault aims to transform jewelry from a forgotten possession into a meaningful component of personal wealth and financial planning. #BEST #SHMS #STRAW Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

Posting on LinkedIn once isn't thought leadership. Speaking on one panel isn't thought leadership. Real thought leadership is a strategy — and most professionals have never been given a clear framework to build one. Bill Sherman is COO of Thought Leadership Leverage, co-host of the Leveraging Thought Leadership podcast, and lead co-author of The Thought Leadership Handbook — the book Scott calls the most intellectually rigorous, practically useful resource on thought leadership he's ever read. In this episode, Bill shares the framework he and his colleagues developed over 20 years of consulting with Fortune 500 executives, professional services providers, and emerging experts who want their ideas to travel further and earn more trust. You'll learn: The difference between being an expert and becoming a thought leader — and why the skills don't automatically transfer Bill's 20-word test: what every core idea must do to earn a "tell me more" The 4 elements of thought leadership: Core Idea, Content Library, Market Offerings, and Platform Identity — explained in full What a content library actually is (and why sticky notes on a wall is a perfectly legitimate starting point) Platform identity: how people talk about your ideas when you're not in the room — and why that matters more than personal brand Why most professionals suffer from "content insecurity" (imposter syndrome's cousin) — and how to push past it The paradox of knowledge-sharing: why giving away your best ideas makes more people come back to you Why the "keep it behind the paywall" instinct is the #1 thing holding thought leaders back How AI is absorbing generic expertise — and what makes your voice irreplaceable 3 action steps to shift from expert to thought leader and start building your platform today Bill also shares how The Thought Leadership Handbook came to exist — from 2.6 million words of podcast transcripts and two co-authors who said they'd never write a book.

Hello to you listening wherever your feet touch the ground! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. Earlier this month I announced the retirement of my 60 Seconds format after 5½ years and Motivate Your Monday episodes after 6½ years. However, my long-running global podcast, Stories From Women Who Walk, is alive and well and evolving for you, my truly global audience. I launched my podcast, Stories From Women Who Walk in April 2020 as a platform for conversations with women who were walking their lives until their lives were flipped upside down by something unexpected, how they met the challenges, and changed to become stronger, even more confident women. I loved every single moment listening stories out of my guests! But then COVID flipped our lives upside down, too. We were no longer commuting to work over long distances or in cars. Who would have the time to listen to a 30 or 45-minute conversation? What to do? Pivot to 60 Seconds. No one was offering this format. Turned out that I was really good at distilling topics, ideas and stories into soundbytes to inform, illuminate, delight, motivate, and comfort my listeners. Today Stories From Women Who Walk has logged over 1,340 episodes and maintains a robust platform wherever you get your podcasts, especially Apple Podcasts and including Pandora Radio. It's been a great run so far! That's what 6½ years of dedicated listening and support has produced. Thank you! I'm here because you're there and I will continue. I promise you this: the voice you have come to know and trust along with the stories, insights, questions and prompts that speak to each of us as if to say, “What! You, too? I thought I was the only one.” [C.S.Lewis]. I plan to channel my creative efforts into producing two weekly “Diane on Mic” short-form episodes—maybe 4 minutes or so of spoken word—for Wednesdays on Whidbey and Story Prompt Friday, with familiar themes, a deeper and more intimate relationship with you, and a focus on helping women navigate their midlife pilgrimage. Why pilgrimage? As those of you who have followed me know, I have talked about this so often: my life shows up as BC and AC—Before Camino and After Camino. Over the years I've learned that the 500 miles of walking across Spain was the destination. I know what it takes to walk the long and winding road to letting our lives speak. As Quarter Moon Story Arts I bring decades of experience as a skillful storyteller in healthcare, business and law. It's time to sharpen my creative focus and work with women of Middle-Earth-Age who are navigating their midlife pilgrimage story. CTA: Let's continue making the very most of the time we have together, uncovering, discovering, shaping and sharing our stories. Please let me know what you think. If there is something you're curious about, something you'd like to hear as my podcast transforms, please email me and let me know: info@quartermoonstoryarts.net or (better yet) subscribe to Quarter Moon Story Arts on Substack.

Manu Mehra is Head of AMER Industries Strategic Deal Pricing at Databricks, with more than 12 years of experience across pricing, product, cloud, and AI, including Google Cloud and Thermo Fisher Scientific. He brings a practical perspective on how AI is changing the way companies think about outcomes, value, platforms, and pricing models. In this episode, Manu explains why traditional pricing models don't neatly fit AI, why outcome-based pricing is compelling but difficult to standardize, and how companies can turn platforms into solutions around specific business problems. Mark challenges him throughout the conversation, especially on the attribution problem: if AI creates the value, how do you know AI actually caused it? Why You Have to Check Out Today's Podcast: Learn why AI is pushing pricing toward outcomes. Discover how platforms become solutions customers will pay more for. Understand the attribution and standardization challenges behind AI pricing. "Pricing cannot be an afterthought. It has to be integrated within the product roadmap." — Manu Mehra Topics Covered: 01:15 – How an accidental pricing analytics role led Manu to a career spanning product, cloud, AI, sales, finance, and strategic deal pricing. 03:30 – Why Pricing Has to Start With the Product. Why integrating pricing into the product roadmap can create value before launch instead of scrambling for cost-plus pricing afterward. 05:30 – Why AI Breaks Traditional Pricing Models. Why subscription, license, and consumption models don't fully fit AI when thousands of customers can pursue completely different outcomes 08:00 – The Hardest Problem With Outcome-Based Pricing. Why AI outcomes are difficult to standardize across billing, finance, legal, and revenue recognition—and why 10,000 customers could mean 10,000 different outcomes 11:00 – What Actually Counts as an AI Outcome? Manu uses a QBR example where AI can automate 95% of the SQL work, turning hours and effort saved into a measurable form of value. 13:30 – The Attribution Problem: Did AI Really Create the Value? Mark and Manu debate how to determine whether AI actually caused increased revenue, lower costs, or other gains—or simply helped the business get there faster. 16:00 – Platform vs. Solution: What Are You Really Selling? Why a broad platform can have wildly different value depending on the customer's use case—and how platforms can become solutions by solving specific business problems. 19:00 – How to Turn Products Into Business Solutions. Manu explains how compute, data, and AI layers can be combined into packaged solutions instead of being sold as isolated products. 21:30 – How Customer Segmentation Makes AI Pricing Scalable. Why identifying recurring customer patterns can help companies map different business problems to repeatable combinations of SKUs instead of creating a custom solution for every customer. 24:00 – Why AI Companies Use Credits. How credits can create cost predictability, manage backend costs, and give customers flexibility across different AI capabilities. 27:00 – When Credits Make Sense—and When They Don't. Why platform customers may value the flexibility of credits while digital-native customers who already know exactly what they want may have less need for them. 30:00 – The Pricing Advice Manu Wants Leaders to Hear. Why pricing should never be an afterthought and why the industry is moving from cost-plus toward value-based and outcome-based pricing. Key Takeaways: "The reason is, even though you might be a platform organization or you're selling a platform, but end of the day, you're still trying to solve a customer problem." — Manu Mehra "The tricky thing with outcome is it's very hard to standardize it." — Manu Mehra "Pricing needs to be integrated during the product roadmap." — Manu Mehra Connect with Manu Mehra: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manumehra1/ Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com

In this episode of BioTalk with Rich Bendis, Matt Adams, Chief Executive Officer of BrainScope, joins the conversation to discuss how the Rockville-based company is working to bring objective brain function measurement into real-world clinical care. Matt shares how BrainScope is using EEG-based technology and artificial intelligence to help decode brain electrical activity and provide clinicians, patients, and care teams with simple, actionable information. He explains why objective data is especially important in brain health, where many assessments can still be subjective, difficult to scale, or dependent on more expensive infrastructure. The conversation also looks at BrainScope's evolution since winning the BioHealth Capital Region Crab Trap Competition in 2020. Matt discusses how the company has moved from a point-of-care EEG technology focused on traumatic brain injury into a broader AI-enabled brain health platform with potential applications across concussion, brain bleeds, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and other neurological conditions. Rich and Matt also discuss BrainScope's FDA-cleared technology, its growing clinical and regulatory foundation, and how the company is using machine learning, deep learning, and a large EEG database to expand what can be measured in brain health. Matt highlights the company's work in Alzheimer's prediction, including data suggesting the potential to identify risk years before typical clinical diagnosis, as well as the opportunity to support longitudinal monitoring and improved CNS trial design. The episode also looks ahead to BrainScope's next phase, including expanded disease applications, partnerships with clinicians and sports medicine organizations, potential use in clinical trials, global market opportunities, and the company's continued growth in the BioHealth Capital Region. Editing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant. Matt Adams brings more than 25 years of global healthcare leadership experience developing, commercializing, and scaling medical device, biotechnology, diagnostic product, and service businesses. He currently serves as Chief Executive Officer of BrainScope, a tech-enabled AI software platform focused on brain health. Before joining BrainScope, Matt was President of Invio Automation, a global life science-focused process automation provider. He previously served as Vice President and General Manager of Cerevention, a neuro startup that developed and commercialized platforms to diagnose and treat hemorrhagic stroke and other diseases of the central nervous system. He has also held executive roles at Rebiotix, Cirle, and American Medical Systems. Matt received his eMBA from the University of Minnesota, a Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Minnesota, and a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Alaska.
