Getting a patient to say yes to treatment isn't the end of the sale. Every time they decide whether to book another visit, follow your recommended frequency, finish their plan of care, or continue beyond a package, they're making another decision about the value of their care. That's why one of the themes that came up in a recent Cash-Based Practice Mastermind coaching call was something that can sound a little uncomfortable in healthcare: always be selling. I'm not talking about constantly pitching patients, and I'd never recommend care they don't need… I'm talking about continually connecting what you're recommending to the goals that brought them to you in the first place. In this episode, I share two common ways clinicians stop doing this without realizing it, including 1) making assumptions about what patients can afford, especially as you get further into a plan of care, and 2) relaxing once someone has pre-paid for a package. And if you recognize that your team could get better at conversations around value, cost, and patient commitment, check out the Cash-Pay Conversion Summit on November 13–14, 2026 in Austin, Texas. You'll spend 2 days with me implementing, customizing, and practicing the systems and scripts that help your team confidently convert more prospective patients into committed Cash-Pay patients. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why if you think the "sale" ended when a patient initially said yes, you're in real trouble. How YOUR assumptions about cost can negatively influence your POC recommendations - and how that can be the ultimate disservice to your patients. What changes, for both the provider and the patient,  when someone purchases a package How to keep patients focused on the outcome they're working toward   USEFUL INFORMATION: Check out our Summit: CASH-PAY CONVERSION SUMMIT

Story of the Week (DR):L3Harris ousts CEO after investigation into conduct MML3Harris Technologies, the company that overhauled a Qatari plane now used as Air Force One, has replaced Christopher Kubasik as chairman and chief executive after an investigation determined he violated the defense contractor's code of conduct.Kubasik's alleged conduct didn't involve and has no impact on the Melbourne, Fla., company's financial reporting, controls, customer relationships or operational performance, L3Harris said Monday.The company didn't give details on when it received a report of the potential violation. With the aid of independent counsel, the board determined that Kubasik's removal would be in the company's best interest, L3Harris said. He will be allowed to retain and exercise some previously vested stock options but won't receive severance payments, benefits or accelerated stock-based awards.L3Harris Technologies Appoints Sam Mehta, Proven Aerospace and Defense Executive, as President and Chief Executive Officer“The Board determined that the Executive engaged in conduct that was not consistent with the values of the Company as outlined in its Code of Conduct.”Kubasik will still hold onto some of his options that can net him stock worth about $23 million, as well as more than 200,000 shares of stock in L3Harris that he already owns, valued at nearly $57 million. L3Harris has paid Kubasik compensation valued at $66.3 million during the past three years, including $25.6 million in fiscal 2025.The separation disclosure says the L3Harris board decided to reach a deal with Kubasik to get him to leave rather than trying to fire him for cause. Kubasik did not admit to any violation of the company code of conduct, and the deal expressively forbids any of the parties or their representatives from making public statements “inconsistent” with Monday's disclosure.AND THIS:Women at L3Harris Shared Concerns About CEO's Behavior Years Before OusterIt was a warning that was shared among women who worked for Chris Kubasik: Avoid being alone with the executive and be careful on the corporate jet.Multiple women at defense contractor L3Harris Technologies LHX had raised concerns about Kubasik's behavior, including a formal complaint from one woman to human resources that was made around 2023, according to people familiar with the matter. The employee accused the CEO of sexual harassment, the people said.Kubasik stayed on in his role. The woman left L3Harris. Not all L3Harris board members were briefed on the 2023 complaint and it is unclearOusted L3Harris CEO was previously forced out of Lockheed Martin jobChristopher Kubasik's ouster as the L3Harris CEO was not the first time he was forced out of a company amid an allegation of misconduct.In 2012, Kubasik was set to become the CEO of Lockheed Martin when he was forced to resign after an ethics investigation confirmed that he had a close personal relationship with a subordinate employee.Why Do Boards Keep Giving Misbehaving CEOs Second Chances?L3Harris Technologies' LHX chief executive is out because of misconduct allegations, and it isn't the first time: More than a decade ago, Christopher Kubasik resigned from Lockheed Martin because he was accused of having a relationship with a subordinate.The Crucial Moment That Companies Miss After They Oust a CEOIt matters how a company responds to a scandal once it's caught in one, most blow the moment by choosing secrecy over transparency. It's an opportunity to reset the culture that led to the breach in the first place, but instead “your PR team and your legal team tell you ‘Don't dig into these things—it's not good for the company,' so you silence all the debates.”.Meta faces a $1.4 trillion threat that could mean ‘turning in the keys and walking away'—but the stakes of the case reach across techThe trial involves a coalition of 29 state attorneys general in a unified case against Meta that was brought in 2023, and will be argued by lawyers representing California, Colorado, New Jersey and Kentucky. The stakes are enormous as leading government officials across the country push for Meta to be held accountable for allegedly violating federal and state laws, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA, and various consumer protection statutes.States accuse Meta of targeting children for Facebook, Instagram addiction: 'The young ones are the best ones'Meta whistleblower told jury the company took a 'don't ask, don't tell' approach to kids' safety‘Harvest their data and hide the truth from the public': Four states seek billions from Meta over child safety practicesSEC says it will stop responding to no-action requests ‘entirely'The Securities and Exchange Commission plans to stop responding to no-action requests “entirely … effective immediately,” the agency said in a statement Friday.The decision comes after the SEC sat out the bulk of the no-action process during the 2025-26 proxy season.

Andreessen Horowitz co-founder Ben Horowitz serves on the board of Databricks, and partner Martin Casado is a board member of Fivetran. Both companies help businesses collect, organize and analyze massive troves of data.Goodliest of the Week (MM/DR):MacKenzie Scott gave California public education $461 million—and let the recipients decide how to spend every dollarMM: Andreessen Horowitz Focus of DOJ Probe Over Board Directors DRAssholiest of the Week (MM):Bill Brown and Robert Millard DRNever accountable for anything directorsL3Harris ousts CEO after investigation into conductHistory lesson:Kubasik hired in 2015 after Lockheed disaster firing, hired as COO and PresidentPresiding CEO: Michael Strianese, Chair from 2008, CEO from 2006Board: Claude Canizares (71, MIT physics professor, 2003)Thomas Corcoran (72, Carlyle, consulting, 1997)Ann Dunwoody (64, only woman, US Army Gen, 2013)Lewis Kramer (69, EY accountant, 2009)Robert Millard (66, MIT Chair, Lehman until 2008 collapse, LID, 1997)Lloyd Newton (74, only PoC - token black guy - US Air Force General, 2012)Vincent Pagano, Jr (66, lawyer, Simpson Thacher, chair of nom, 2013)Hugh Shelton (75, US Army Gen, 2011), Arthure Simon (85, accountant, 2001)8 white men, 1 woman, 1 black dude2018, Kubasik named CEO of L3 TechnologiesMichael Strianese retires and Kubasik takes overSame exact board minus Strianese2019, L3 and Harris merge to be L3HarrisKubasik added to L3Harris board, named COO and President of the company under Bill Brown, CEO and ChairSurviving the board merger:Thomas CorcoranRobert Millard - LID, nom memberLloyd Newton - chair of nomLewis KramerAdjacent - Roger Fradin of Carlyle on board, Corcoran also of CarlyleJune 2021, Kubasik becomes CEO and Bill Brown moves to exec chair (obviously)Board:Sallie BaileyBill BrownPeter ChiarelliThomas CorcoranThomas Dattilo (nom) - ex tire CEORober GradinHarry HarrisLewis Hay III (nom) - lawyer, ex CEo of NextEraLewis KramerRita LanRobert Millard (nom) - MIT Chair, LehmanLloyd Newton (nom chair) - generalSo given that the CEOs choose their successors, the nom committees approve them, the rest of the board rubber stamps it… we can thank:Michael Strianese - hires Kubasik, names him CEO at L3, despite Lockheed problemsNom approval: Ann Dunwoody (64, only woman, US Army Gen, 2013), Vincent Pagano, Jr (66, lawyer, Simpson Thacher, chair of nom, 2013), Hugh Shelton (75, US Army Gen, 2011) - a nom committee composed of the ONLY woman, two generals and a lawyer - all of whom are the LOWEST TENURED ON THE BOARD at the timeThen Bill Brown - names Kubasik CEO of combined L3Harris, one year of babysitting as exec chairNom approval: Thomas Dattilo (nom) - ex tire CEO, Robert Millard (nom) - MIT Chair, Lehman, Lloyd Newton (nom chair) - generalFamiliar names: Millard and Newton - see Kubasik all the way throughAnd the CEOs and directors can keep failing… Bill Brown on the Becton Dickinson boardRobert Millard on the Green Dot Corp (nom!), iHeartMedia, Evercore (nom!) boardsBrought on to iHeart board just 3 years after an exec there went on a racial slur rant, the company was sued for gender and wage discrimination, and a radio host of the companies were accused of severe harassment - not sure what will change?Dario Amodei“Public benefit corporation” Anthropic: Anthropic Prepares Supervoting Power for Founders as it Readies for Mega-IPOBoard: Dario Amodei, Daniela Amodei (President, Dario's sister), Yasmin Razavi (VC, crypto and prediction market investor), Reed Hastings (Netflix), Chris Liddell (ex Trump WH Deputy Secretary), and Vas Narasimhan (Novartis) - zero “public benefit” (or even public safety) peoplePublic Benefit Corporation: “A benefit corporation's directors and officers operate the business with the same authority and behavior as in a traditional corporation, but are required to consider the impact of their decisions not only on shareholders but also on employees, customers, the community, and the local and global environment”What is the impact of supervoting shares? AI on society? AI on the environment? Who on this board is even remotely qualified to answer those questions?Paul AtkinsExhausting and perpetual gaslightingSEC says it will stop responding to no-action requests ‘entirely'In order to focus Division resources on the review of Securities Act and Exchange Act filings, including those reviews that are statutorily required, for the protection of investors and facilitation of capital formation, and in light of the extensive body of guidance from the Commission and the staff available to both companies and proponents on Rule 14a-8, the Division has determined to discontinue responding to Rule 14a-8 no-action requests entirely, including those submitted under Rule 14a-8(i)(1),[2] effective immediately, unless and until the Division announces otherwise. It also will no longer respond to notices filed under Rule 14a-8(j) with a letter indicating that it will not object if a company omits a proposal from its proxy materials.From the 1934 House Report about the importance of Rule 14a-8: “Fair corporate suffrage is an important right that should attach to every equity security bought on a public exchange.”“Managements of properties owned by the investing public should not be permitted to perpetuate themselves by the misuse of corporate proxies. Insiders having little or no substantial interest in the properties they manage have often retained their control without an adequate disclosure of their interest and without an adequate explanation of the management policies they intend to pursue. Insiders have at times solicited proxies without fairly informing the stockholders of the purposes for which the proxies are to be used and have used such proxies to take from the stockholders for their own selfish advantage valuable property rights. Inasmuch as only the exchanges make it possible for securities to be widely distributed among the investing public, it follows as a corollary that the use of the exchanges should involve a corresponding duty of according to shareholders fair suffrage. For this reason the proposed bill gives the . . . Commission power to control the conditions under which proxies may be solicited with a view to preventing the recurrence of abuses which have frustrated the free exercise of the voting rights of stockholders.Investors Slam SEC Plan to Remove Best-Price RuleAtkins also is listening to the crypto bros who want to offer “tokenized securities” off exchanges and is hoping to eliminate a really basic rule that says “investors are entitled to the best price available for stocks they buy”Separately, DOJ Withdraws Antitrust Guidance for Proxy Advisory Industry - no antitrust protections for ISS (good!) but still can't do anything about the socialist NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA (bad!)Headliniest of the WeekDR: Popular breakfast chain closes half its restaurantsDR: The man leading Trump's RTO charge for government workers says he filmed a video in front of a blank wall to avoid work-from-home suspicionOffice of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Scott Kupor, the key driver of President Donald Trump's return-to-office agenda, admitted in a hot mic moment that he intentionally filmed a video in front of a blank wall while he was working from home so he wouldn't get blowback over working at home.“I was in my bedroom, but I was trying to find—because I knew someone was going to give me shit if like, they knew, ‘You were out of the office.' …I was trying to find something that was not recognizable as being in my house, basically.

What do you desire that you haven't been willing to ask for? What if you could pull it into your life magically, would you? In this episode of Choice, Change and Action, Simone Milasas talks with Julia Sotas Mattis about creating magic in your life through energy pulls, complete with two guided energy pulls.  When you do an energy pull, you are working with the consciousness of the universe. You are letting the universe know your request and you are moving energy to facilitate receiving your request. The energy pull is the perfect starting point to use chaos and discover the type of wizard you are with energy. What magic are you capable of that you have not yet acknowledged you are capable of? What if everything in life is way easier than you think it is? Questions And Tools: "What chaos am I?" "What magic am I?" "I created that. Wow, how great am I? What else is possible?" "What is magical for me? What lights my fire?" "Universe, what do I desire beyond what I can possibly imagine?" "Dear universe, what else is possible?" Tools: Reading is so powerful What would you like to do that you are not choosing? Do energy pulls. Be willing to receive what you are asking for. What action are you taking? What are the greatest possibilities available for your business? We misidentify so much that working hard is going to create greater, but it's not.  What if relaxation was required to create and generate anything and everything? Where are you being so autonomous and refusing to ask for help? What if asking for help and asking to receive more is actually the bravest thing that you could choose? Receive all energies. True receiving is opening up to the entirety of the universe; not controlling what you will and won't receive. Choice is our super power! Magic is choosing what works. Acknowledge you are the source of creation of everything. Start being that brilliance and ask for what you desire and require. If you want to create more magic, acknowledge the magic you already are creating. It will strengthen your relationship with your own magic and expand that magic. When you create magic say, "I created that. Wow, how great am I? What else is possible?" Joy can ignite more magic. Know what brings you joy. Your life is your business. What are the energies of magic for you? What lights your fire? What makes your life worth living? Ask for all of the things you desire that you can't even imagine right now; you don't need to.   What energy, space, consciousness, choice, magic, miracles, mysteries, possibilities, power, potency and profitability can you be to create a reality beyond this reality with total ease? Everything that is, times a godzillion, will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, creations, bases and beyonds. How many of you are trying to get it right whilst thinking you are wrong, when in truth, what if you asked for freedom? Everything that is, times a godzillion, will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, creations, bases and beyonds. Destroy and uncreate any blocks you have to receiving that much magic. Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, creations, bases and beyonds. what energy, space, consciousness, choice, magic, miracles, mysteries, possibilities, power, potency and profitability can you be to create a reality of magic totally beyond this reality for all eternity with total ease? Everything that is, times a godzillion, will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, creations, bases and beyonds.

Before AI, Klaviyo had an insight that changed e-commerce marketing forever: don't show merchants how many emails they sent, show them how much money those emails made. That single shift helped Klaviyo capture 80% market share, earn a cult following among Shopify merchants, and IPO in 2023 with $1.4B in revenue. Now Andrew has to do it again. In this session at SaaStr AI Day, Klaviyo's co-founder and CEO breaks down how he's rebuilding a dominant pre-AI company for the agent era, including some of the most practical AI-at-scale lessons we've heard from any founder this year. What's inside: The Dark Factory. Klaviyo's internal agent system inspired by "lights-out manufacturing," where a team of agents decomposes a product prompt into specs, writes software interfaces, runs tests, handles load testing, and raises a flag only when it's genuinely stuck. One weekend, one agent team, one full prototype. The Tom Brady Rule. Andrew's mental model for LLMs: treat them like a great all-around athlete. They'll never be elite without coaching. The "harness" you build around the model, the domain-specific data, feedback loops, and scoring, is what makes the difference between a POC and a product that works for 200,000 customers. Agents skip onboarding entirely. Unlike human users who take months to learn a product, agents land as power users on day one. Andrew's team now asks their own agents, "What's holding you back?" and uses the answers to build their product roadmap. (One example: the agent discovered AMP interactive email on its own and immediately asked Klaviyo to build the missing APIs.) Agents training agents. For customer-facing agents, Klaviyo takes a feed of real support cases, classifies them, then runs an agent loop that trains another agent on the platform, without any human FDE or SE required. It ships at 50-70% resolution out of the box. APIs are the new UI. Whether your software is brand new or a decade old, if your internal and external APIs are great, agents will figure out the rest. The companies that win the agent era won't be the ones with the best interface. They'll be the ones with the best infrastructure. Three years from now, every business will have an agent you can reach through a URL, a phone number, or an email. The question is who builds the infrastructure underneath it.

Folge 100 bündelt, was Entscheider*innen über Data Science wissen sollten – aufgeteilt in vier Blöcke: Begriffsklärung, Datenqualität, Modellgüte und Erfolgsfaktoren. Mira und Amit ordnen ein, wie KI, Machine Learning und Statistik zusammenhängen, was supervised von unsupervised Learning unterscheidet und welche der vier Stufen der Datenanalyse für welche Fragestellung überhaupt nötig ist. Beim Thema Daten geht es um Validierung vor der eigentlichen Analyse, fehlende Zielvariablen und typische Formatprobleme, bei der Modellgüte um passende Gütemaße, Benchmarks, Overfitting, Explainability und die Evaluation von GenAI. Der letzte Teil behandelt die Frage, warum Datenprojekte in der Schublade landen: Auswahl des Use Cases, der Aufwandssprung von PoC zu MVP und Produkt sowie der eigene Data-Maturity-Level. Zum Abschluss stehen die fünf häufigsten Fehler.   **Zusammenfassung**   Begriffe sortieren: KI ist als Überbegriff meist unscharf gemeint, zwischen Statistik und ML gibt es einen fließenden Übergang – entscheidend ist, ob Zusammenhänge verstanden oder Prognosen erstellt werden sollen. Vier Stufen der Datenanalyse: deskriptiv, diagnostisch, prädiktiv, präskriptiv – oft liefert schon die erste Stufe den Großteil der Erkenntnisse, Stufen lassen sich schlecht überspringen. Datenqualität vor Datenquantität: viele korrekte, aber irrelevante Spalten verbessern keine Prognose; fehlerhafte Daten sind das größere Problem – gilt für tabulare Daten wie für RAG-Dokumente. Validierung zuerst: explorative Analysen, Verteilungen und Ausreißerprüfung deckt Datenprobleme auf und erzeugt selbst schon Erkenntnisse. Das Gütemaß hängt vom Use Case ab: Kosten von False Positives und False Negatives unterscheiden sich, ein einfaches Benchmark-Modell zeigt, ob der Aufwand sich lohnt. Overfitting vermeiden: immer out-of-sample auf einem Testdatensatz evaluieren und zeitliche Struktur berücksichtigen – sonst sind Prognosen ungenauer als erwartet und man sieht Zusammenhänge, die es nicht gibt. GenAI-Evaluation ist der Engpass: ein PoC entsteht schnell, das MVP wird durch Bewertungsfragen (LLM as a Judge, User Testing) deutlich aufwändiger. Erfolgsfaktoren: konkreter Use Case mit messbarem Hebel, frühe Einbindung der Nutzer*innen, Implementierung von Anfang an mitdenken und Projekte zum eigenen Reifegrad wählen.   **Links** Blogartikel zu Erfolgsfaktoren für Data-Science-Projekte https://www.inwt-statistics.de/blog/erfolgsfaktoren-fuer-data-science-projekte Folge #6: Statistik vs. Machine Learning https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-ewip2-128c6f8 Folge #83: Wie gut ist gut genug?

Are you reacting to the current economic downturn like everyone else? Tightening the purse strings and functioning from lack is going to create more lack. The world is in lack but you don't have to be. Are you willing to not be normal, average and real, and choose possibilities? In this episode of Choice, Change and Action, Simone Milasas talks with Viv Adcock about the energetics of money and what you can do and be to generate and create possibilities with money, regardless of the economic climate.  Firstly, tightening the purse strings is a judgment - that there's not enough money, that it's finite, that things are too expensive, etc. - and judgment never creates, it always destroys.  Secondly, what you focus on grows. Are you putting your attention on what is not, rather than looking at what else is possible and what you are actually receiving? If you are truly desiring something different, you've got to be out of control and in question, and you've got to be willing to receive, allowing every molecule of consciousness to contribute to you. Questions And Tools: "What can I create, what can I choose, what action can I take to change my financial reality?" "Who does this belong to?" "Universe, show me what else is possible." "What can I receive that I haven't been willing to receive before?" "What else is possible beyond this?" "What have I decided I need money for?" "What am I avoiding with money?" "What am I proving with money?" "What am I proving with no money?" "What can show up today that I wasn't willing to receive?" "What can I be today that I have not yet chosen?" "All of life comes to us with ease, joy and glory." Tools: Don't go to reaction, go to action. What year did you create the most money so far? Times it by 10. What action do you need to take to create and generate that? Do you need to make more money? Would you like to? Tightening the purse strings and functioning from lack is going to create more lack. Acknowledge what you are already receiving. What if you didn't stop receiving? Look for what else is possible. Start being in question and find out what is possible beyond control. Price is not relevant because you can always create and generate more. The world is in lack but you don't have to be in lack. What if it isn't a problem, what if it's a situation? POC & POD to clear the canvas then ask, "What action can I take that will create change here?" Don't try and work out the future by controlling it. Allow the future to show up by being in question. Be willing to ask for help. Are you willing to go bigger and greater than you perceive is possible? What contribution can you be with money? What if money was to change people's realities? Do you want a predictable, duplicatable reality or a generative life that is always about being in question and always receiving and knowing that greater can show up? You've got to be out of control. You've got to be willing to receive. Have you decided you can't outcreate your family? How many of you are functioning from this caste system that doesn't need to be? Are you truly desiring something different? Stop being limited and start being you   What would happen if you were out of control, out of definition, out of form, structure and significance, out of linearities, out of concentricities and out of limitations with receiving? Everything that is, times a godzillion, will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, creations, bases and beyonds. What action can you take today that would allow something so different to show up that just blows you away - financially, business, relationships, sex, everything? Everything that doesn't allow that to show up, times a godzillion, will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, creations, bases and beyonds. Will you now let every molecule of consciousness contribute to you, your body, your business, everything and more? Everything that doesn't allow that to show up, times a godzillion, will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, creations, bases and beyonds.

Are you willing to be someone who is a leader in the world, or are you someone who looks at the reasons why you cannot do something? In this episode of Choice, Change and Action, Simone Milasas talks about being an effective leader. An effective leader is someone who knows where they are heading and goes towards that no matter who else is willing to go with them. You're not trying to prove anything, you're not getting it right or wrong; you're willing to listen to the whispers. What reasons and justifications do you have for not choosing what you truly could be choosing? To be a leader, you have to choose. The choices you choose today create your future.  What choices can you make today that will actualise the future that you desire and deserve?         This is an excerpt from the What is being an effective leader class and you can find the full recording plus many more classes here: http://access.me/                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Questions And Tools: "What future can I be today that would allow this to show up?" "What grand and glorious adventures can I have today?" Tools: What have you decided an effective leader is?  What reasons and justifications do you have for not choosing what you truly could be choosing?  What are you defending and avoiding with your choices, or your no choices?  How many times do you look at the reason why you cannot? Ask for more every single day and take some action so that what you desire eventuates in the world. Are you holding onto people rather than choosing something greater? The choices you choose today create your future. Destroy and uncreate everywhere you've ever chosen anyone as a reference point for choosing what it is that you would like. Where are you heading? Are you choosing for you or are you choosing for others? Just choose. Destroy and uncreate everything you've decided you are today. A true leader doesn't have to be the last person to leave a room. A true leader doesn't have to be the one who is at every meeting. A true leader knows when their energy is required and is willing to be in question and will choose based on that, never having to prove their worth. If you start with you, then you can be a leader with others.   How many of you are currently holding yourself back for someone or something? Everything that is, times a godzillion, will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, creations, bases and beyonds.

Després d'uns quants mesos la Penya Barcelonista de Sitges ja disposa d'una seu social. La nova junta que encapçala Alfred Ruiz tenia com a un dels objectius poder recuperar el caliu social a la penya i en aquest sentit era del tot imprescindible disposar d'un local, com el que han pogut trobar, finalment, al Passeig Vilanova, a la primera planta del bar Nou Xampú. Així, el proper 27 d'agost, amb motiu del partit que el Barça jugarà contra l'Atlètic Club al Camp Nou, serà la primera ocasió en la que els culers sitgetans podran gaudir de la nova seu. La Penya també està treballant en la gala del seu 50è aniversari i ja té data de celebració. Serà el 25 de setembre a l'Hotel ME Terramar, on s'espera també la presència, no confirmada encara, del president del FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta. Poc a poc, la penya es va posant al dia i de tot aquest procés n'hem pogut parlar amb el seu president Alfred Ruiz i els membres de junta Josep Aracil i Guillem Escolà. L'entrada La Penya Barcelonista de Sitges estrena seu social i el proper 25 de setembre celebrarà el sopar de gala del 50è aniversari ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

The CrowdStrike 2026 Threat Hunting Report is now live! The report sheds light on how our threat hunters and analysts hunt and defend against the world's most sophisticated adversaries. It's packed with stories from the front lines and trends that define the modern threat landscape. Joining Adam to dig into its findings is Katie Blankenship, Sr. Manager of the Global Threat Analysis Cell for the CrowdStrike Counter Adversary Operations team. Katie, who leads the charge for our major intelligence reports, explains the herculean effort that goes into distilling a year's worth of events into a single report. The CrowdStrike 2026 Threat Hunting Report is the product of seven trillion events analyzed, 14 million daily detection leads, and 36,000 annual customer alerts and notifications. So what did they tell us? These are some key takeaways covered in this episode: The window between vulnerability disclosure and exploitation is collapsing. From January through June 2026, 88% of CrowdStrike-observed exploitation of vulnerabilities with a public proof of concept (PoC) was conducted within 48 hours of the PoC's release. China-nexus adversaries VAULT PANDA and GENESIS PANDA, both highly active in the last six months, are monitoring vulnerability disclosures so they can quickly weaponize them. Adversaries are targeting the developer ecosystem. Software supply chain attacks aren't new, but adversaries are seeing opportunities to exploit trust relationships in this pipeline. ALTERED SPIDER is one of them — this adversary compromised 300+ software dependencies in one day, harvested credentials, and pivoted into cloud environments. Technology and finance are in the crosshairs. Technology was the most targeted sector for the ninth year running. DPRK-nexus adversary FAMOUS CHOLLIMA's operations accounted for 55% of all state-sponsored intrusions targeting this sector. The financial services sector saw an 11% year-over-year increase in targeting, with FAMOUS CHOLLIMA driving activity there as well. Tune in to hear Adam and Katie discuss the CrowdStrike 2026 Threat Hunting Report's most interesting stories, stats, and adversaries in an episode that Adam calls “the podcast for those who didn't want to read the 48-page report.” Methodology & Source: All information provided is based on the CrowdStrike Counter Adversary Operations team's proprietary threat intelligence gathered between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026. Stats may include data from the entire period surveyed or excerpts of data from specific date ranges within the period.

Rafael launched a crypto insurance product in 47 states, backed by a real carrier. Everyone told him it was genius. Nobody needed it. He shut it down with $2M left in the bank, fired almost everyone, and rebuilt with two engineers on $20K a month. Notch just raised $30M.In this episode, Rafael breaks down how a POC he entered through the back door turned into a seven-figure contract, why "isn't everyone doing this?" is the feedback you actually want, and how to tell whether an enterprise deal makes you a real company or just their dev shop.Why You Should ListenWhy "that idea is genius" is a warning sign, not a compliment.How entering a POC last still made them the front runner.Why the enterprise deals that scale need zero customization.How to stop hiding your idea and go straight to your dream customers.Keywords startup podcast, startup podcast for founders, product market fit, finding pmf, Notch, Rafael Broshi, AI agents, insurance technology, customer experience automation, regulated industries, enterprise sales, POC strategy, pivoting a startup, on-prem deploymentChapters00:00:00 Intro00:02:00 The Moment of True Product Market Fit00:10:07 One Enterprise Deal or Ten00:15:24 A Genius Idea Nobody Needed00:24:33 Picking the Right Wave to Ride00:34:37 Down to $2M, Firing Almost Everyone00:41:48 Getting Enterprise to Take Your Call00:48:07 The POCs That Aren't Real POCsSend me a message to let me know what you think!

In this episode of PoC, we dive back into Alec Newald's CoEvolution, which aims to frame the phenomenon not as a series of encounters with visitors from elsewhere, but as evidence of a much larger evolutionary drama unfolding within the structure of reality.

Are you trying to find your 'happy' in a relationship? What if you had a creationship instead? In this episode of Choice, Change and Action, Simone Milasas talks with Kelly Pringle about creationships; a term that describes generative relationships, where you are creating at least 20 times more together than you do alone such that the relationship adds to your life and future. How many of you are choosing a predictable life that you think is result driven, rather than being with someone and its total play, total receiving of all energies, total allowance of them and you with no projections or expectations or having to be right or wrong, and no controlling yourself or your partner or the relationship? Creationship is a choice, not a necessity. When you don't have a need in your world, you can start to receive a different possibility. Questions And Tools: "Is this working for me?" "Is this person capable of delivering what it is I would like?" "Body, what would you like to eat?" Tools: Choosing is not losing. Most people look at a relationship to fulfill something they are lacking. What if you never lacked anything? You are an infinite being. You are free to choose whatever it is you want to choose. Have allowance for what your partner is choosing. Choose what you want to choose and let them choose what they want to choose. Don't stop what you can create. What if there was no role you have in a relationship. You get to choose you and they get to choose them. No projections, expectations, or judgments. If you were being needless, what would you choose? What can you receive beyond need? Enjoy your partner. Always be in question. Ask your body what it would like to eat. All the energetic projections towards you about what you should be doing and choosing in relationships, and everywhere you picked up on that and made that the priority rather than YOU a priority, will you destroy and uncreate it?

Hey friends! Welcome back to another Tales of Pentest Pwnage — my favorite mini-series where I share the good, the bad, and the "why didn't I check THAT first?!" moments from real-world engagements. Today's story has a little bit of everything: a legit path to domain admin, some late-night rabbit holes, a lesson in humility, and a villain you've definitely met before. (Spoiler: it's DNS.) A couple of quick plugs before we dive in: Private GOAD training is going strong! — We just wrapped a 3-day private session (7 students — that's max capacity!) of our Active Directory pentesting class built on the Game of Active Directory (GOAD) framework. Over three days, students enumerate, attack, and fully pwn three separate AD environments. The private format is just *chef's kiss* — when it's a team from the same company, the conversation gets real fast. Like, "hey I just checked Bloodhound on break and Bob from accounting has full rights over the DC" real. If you want to send 3–7 people from your org, hit up 7MinSec.com/training to line up a private session. Support the show over at 7MinSec.club — That's our Substack, where every Tuesday I drop a short TuesdayTOOLSday video about security tools. Free subscriptions are welcome and mean a lot — you'll just get pinged when new content drops. No spam, no blindly-sent Outlook calendar invites. I promise. Pentest tips and scripts live at 7MinSec.wiki — I reference it throughout today's episode, including some step-by-step guidance on the techniques we'll talk about below. Now — onto the pwnage. Fair warning: I've been burning the candle at three ends lately trying to catch up after a tough few weeks of grief (if you want the backstory, the last couple episodes cover my dad passing away). The good news is my head is semi back on straight and I put it to work on a recurring client environment — one that keeps getting better year over year. Machine account quota locked down? Check. No Kerberoastable or AS-REP roastable users? Check. No local admin rights, no web client running? Check and check. All good signs. And then PingCastle smiled right into my eyeballs with a big red finding: The DC's LAN Manager authentication level was weak enough to coerce and capture a downgraded hash — Specifically, an NTLMv1 SSP hash. Using Coercer to nudge the DC into authenticating to my Kali box (with Responder running), I captured the goods. Pretty little hashes all in a row. Cracking that hash: enter Vast.ai — The old go-to for this type of crack used to be crack.sh, but their cracker has been offline for years. What they do still have is a walkthrough pointing to a tool from EvilMog on GitHub that helps you prep the raw hash material and figure out exactly how to crack it with Hashcat. For the GPU horsepower, I rented a beefy multi-GPU instance on Vast.ai — filter for 16+ GPUs, pick a Hashcat Docker image, and SSH in. The whole crack job took about 16 hours at ~$4/hr. Do the math: $64 to reconstruct the DC's NTLM hash. Worth it. Tmux sidebar — seriously just learn it — Vast.ai is actually what finally got me into tmux, because the Hashcat Docker container drops you right into a tmux session. This is clutch: you can kick off a 16-hour crack job, detach, and reattach later without killing anything. On a pentest, my workflow now is SSH in → tmux → name a few session windows for Responder, Exegol, packet captures, etc. I used to fumble around with Linux screen sessions. Not anymore! From hash to DA — the usual playbook — Once you've got the DC's NTLM hash, you can request a Kerberos ticket and load it up, then run a DCSync to pull the KRBTGT hash. From there it's god mode: dump hashes, pass-the-hash as domain admins, and you have yourself a cool privesc POC. Except this time…the POC didn't work. The part where I Jean-Claude Van Damme helicopter kick myself in the face — DCSync failed immediately. Like, suspiciously fast — barely two lines of output and done. I tried every version of every tool I could get my hands on. I tried Windows, I tried Linux. I even asked the client to check if their endpoint protection was blocking me (it wasn't). I touched grass. I played guitar. I played some Splinter Cell Blacklist (old game, highly recommend if you like the Hitman-style vibes). Came back fresh. Rebooted both VMs. Still nothing. It was DNS. It's always DNS. — The thing that finally caught my eye: the commands were failing too fast. Like it wasn't even reaching the DC. I catted the resolv.conf inside my Exegol instance (heads up: Exegol has its own resolv.conf and hosts file, separate from your base Kali system!) and found a stale DNS entry pointing to an old DC that was no longer serving anything. Nuked the bad entry, added static hosts file entries for the live DC, ran the command again, and — hash rain. Pennies from heaven. It was midnight and I literally pushed back from my desk like a baby pushing away from a high chair going "Baby Brian is all done!" The lesson: — I know the meme. "It's always DNS." I just personally hadn't hit it hard in my security life since my sysadmin days back before 2013. Now I have. So going forward I'll check DNS first (and often). Vacation attempt #3 incoming… pray for me — My wife nearly died in Punta Cana earlier this year. Then our summer cabin trip was cold and rainy with zero water time. And now we've got families flying in from multiple states for a lake weekend — except we just found out our reservation through Booking.com was basically vaporized because the resort changed hands and never updated their website. My wife (who is an absolute saint and my better three-quarters) almost had a 360-degree head spin (like in The Exorcist) talking to customer service. But we scrambled, found a last-minute place, and I'm choosing to believe it's not in Jason Voorhees' back yard. Could this be my last episode? Maybe. But hey — it was a good one. Talk to you next week (hopefully).

In this episode of Industry Matters, Respiratory Edition, host Boone Lockard, VP of HME, Respiratory, & Wellness with VGM & Associates, sits down with Steve Palmer, General Manager of Kinney Home Care Equipment and Supplies, to discuss their journey transitioning from a traditional oxygen tank model to portable oxygen concentrators (POCs). Steve shares the operational challenges that drove the decision — from emergency tank deliveries to rising costs — and how Kinney used VGM's ROI calculator to build confidence in the financial case. He also talks about the critical role their respiratory clinicians played in gaining referral source buy-in, the efficiency gains they've seen in delivery routes, and what led them to choose Rhythm and the Rhythm Resolve as their POC partner. If you're a DMEPOS provider weighing the tank-to-POC transition, Steve's real-world experience and practical advice make this a must-listen.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/YfGe1M0Ql6s

Landing subcontracts with prime contractors like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and L3Harris starts long before you ever pick up the phone, and most small businesses skip the steps that actually get them noticed. In this clip, a govcon entrepreneur breaks down the exact sequence he used to move from cold outreach to a signed, ongoing contract with a major defense prime. If you've been stuck trying to get a capability briefing to turn into real work, this is the roadmap. How to register on a prime contractor's vendor or partner portal before ever reaching out to their small business office Why leading with technical jargon in a capability briefing gets you ignored, and what small business POCs actually need to hear instead How to use a specific contract ID and government POC name to open doors that generic capability statements never will Why treating subcontracting as a "side door" instead of a back door builds long-term pipeline, even outside government work The exact process for escalating from a small business contact to the technical lead who controls the actual project   EPISODE CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Introduction and Mindy sponsor message 0:48 - Why calling a prime contractor cold fails 1:17 - Do your research before contacting Boeing or Lockheed 1:29 - Register as a vendor on the prime's portal 2:12 - Attend a capability briefing with the small business office 2:51 - Avoid technical jargon small business contacts cannot use 3:39 - Give small business POCs clear direction, not confusion 4:25 - Use a specific contract ID to open the conversation 5:20 - How referencing a real contract leads to the right department 6:26 - Applying this side door strategy to construction subcontracts 7:02 - Why subcontracting is a side door, not a back door 7:55 - Comparing pricing between GovIQ and DeltekGovWin Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

I'm talking to Bhaskar Sunkara, CEO of bicycle.AI, which provides an AI analyst product designed to monitor revenue-critical KPIs, investigate the business and technical drivers behind KPI changes, and take a “governed next step.” Bhaskar explains why analytics products often fail when they overwhelm users with telemetry instead of focusing on the signals that matter. Drawing from his experience as founding CTO of AppDynamics, he shares how his team moved from low-level technical monitoring to business transactions like logins, checkouts, and bookings. The key lesson? Start with the right metric at the right level of granularity, then use deeper technical analysis to explain why something changed.   Bhaskar also breaks down how bicycle.AI serves multiple audiences inside an enterprise. Business leaders want measurable outcomes, KPI owners need answers about what changed and what to do next, and data teams require trust, governance, and traceability. He explains how, in order to support these different users, Bicycle separates product experience into four core surfaces: pull features like dashboards and chat, and push features like alerts and data stories. Alerts further help operational users respond quickly to KPI changes and data stories provide executives with strategic narratives around trends, causes, and business impact. During our chat, Bhaskar also draws a line most AI products blur: be explicit about which findings are deterministic and which are only a theory. He connects this directly to my CED framework, separating the conclusion from the evidence from the underlying data, and argues that how much you automate should be governed by one question: how costly is being wrong?   I also probed Bhaskar about their moat. He's learned that enterprise adoption requires winning over both executives who care about revenue impact and analytics teams that need confidence in the system's recommendations. Bhaskar also explains why their long-term advantage comes from the DEAL framework: Detect, Explain, Act, and Learn. By continuously incorporating validated decisions, business context, and customer-specific knowledge, the platform becomes more useful over time.

Enterprise AI is easy to demonstrate. The real test begins when a promising POC meets production costs, security requirements, data movement, latency, and internal adoption.Shimon Ben-David, CTO at WEKA, joins Amir to discuss the gap between experimenting with generative AI and operating it at scale. They explore how classical AI differs from generative AI, why production exposes problems that demos hide, and how companies with limited AI maturity can start building useful internal capability.Practical Takeaways• A successful POC proves that an outcome is possible. It does not prove that the system will be affordable, secure, reliable, or fast at scale.• Enterprise AI adoption reaches across infrastructure, engineering, data, security, and business teams. It cannot be owned by one group in isolation.• Adding more GPUs will not fix slow data access, poor utilization, weak pipelines, or an experience users do not want to use.• External support can help, but the person or firm involved needs to stay through implementation and production, not stop at recommendations.• Companies that are behind should begin with proven use cases, build internal experience, and quickly stop experiments that fail to show value.Key Moments00:00 Why moving enterprise AI into production remains difficult01:55 The difference between classical AI and generative AI adoption07:05 How companies can use AI without having a formal AI strategy11:35 Why successful POCs often struggle when they reach production17:35 Competitive pressure, AI FOMO, and the need to calculate real ROI22:00 Why AI adoption requires cross organizational change33:10 Where a company with limited AI maturity should beginOne Line That Stuck“The promise is there.

Are you made wrong for being different? What if there was no definition of you ever, and that was not wrong? As you acknowledge your difference and your unique capacities, more magic and miracles show up. In this episode of Choice, Change and Action, Simone Milasas talks with Rachel O'Brien and Troy Aldanmaz about their experiences with being different and navigating this world. When you acknowledge that you are different and your functionality is different, you can recognise that what you require is also different such that you can start choosing what works for you. You chose to be born in this lifetime, in this body, as you - difference and all. What did you choose it for? Amp it up! Questions And Tools: "What am I perceiving?" "Is this mine?" "Who does this belong to?" "Return to sender with consciousness attached." "All of life comes to me with ease and joy and glory." "What am I aware of?" "If I choose this, what will my life be like in 5 years, 10 years, 15 years? If I don't choose this, what will my life be like in 5 years, 10 years, 15 years?" Tools: Don't project and expect others to be like you. Prefer to come from the space of, "This is what I require and this is what they require. How do we make it work?" Stop trying to fit in with other people and this reality. You are different. You don't fit in and you will never fit. Lean into your capacities and don't make yourself wrong for them. Stop judging yourself. You're not wrong for not fitting in. Nurture your reality. What is true for you? Pretending you are normal when you are not is one of the most dangerous things you can do to yourself. Add space. What is your body asking for to help you navigate the world? Do you require more salt, sugar or water than what is considered 'normal'? Be interesting point of view. What is relaxation for you? This reality tries to put a definition on everything and give you labels. What if it is okay to not have a label? Autism is a question that nobody has ever been. As you acknowledge your difference, more magic and miracles show up. Where can you be on the planet that balances the Earth? Choose what works for you. Clear all the projections, expectations, separations, judgments and rejections on you from others. Awareness is not a curse or something you need to get rid of; it's a contribution. You chose to be born in this lifetime in this body. What did you choose it for? Amp it up. Trust you, trust your body and let consciousness lead you.   What if there was no definition of you ever, and that was not wrong? And you never had to find out who, what, where, when, why, how you are and you're constantly changing, and that's okay? Everything that is, will you destroy and uncreate it all times a godzillion? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, POVADs, creations, bases and beyonds.

In this episode of Can Marketing Save the Planet, we are joined by Helena Mansell-Stopher, CEO of Products of Change (POC). POC, is a brilliant and active membership organisation working with over 1,400 people across brands, manufacturers, and retailers to come together and drive environmental and social change. This part of Helena's journey started at National Geographic, where she had the idea and insight to start connecting incubator brands doing things differently with retail distribution, while also helping larger brands learn from them. What started as a think tank six years ago has now become a movement with international reach. "Education is the biggest barrier, people in industry are problem solvers. If they know what problem they need to solve and why, they'll get on and find a solution." A key focus of Products of Change is shifting the language of sustainability from moral obligation to smart business. "We've got to start using more business language. It's how you're reducing your impact, reducing the cost of that, mitigating taxes, reducing risk because you're enabling your supply chains to be more robust." Helena shares the example of, UK Greetings who have been on a 6 year journey. They removed glitter and single-use plastic from their cards, and brought back a lot of their production to the UK, and as a result, have seen double-digit growth, retained staff, and unlocked creativity through paper engineering. We delve into POC's initiatives such as ‘Recycle to Read', a programme Helena explains, "showcases that our waste has a value." ‘Recycle to Read' enables children to swap or recycle toys, earning Planet Care points that translate into free books for their school through a Harper Collins partnership. They collected 15 tons of hard plastic toys last year in a small Tesco trial (now rolled out to 160 stores), with no PR. It's a programme which is building the blueprint for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in toys. Helena talks about the POC Conference held annually, where the industry gathers to share innovations from brands such as Lego, Disney, Universal Music Groups and Primark. She also shares the work they do on ‘The Partner Maturity Index', which was built with investment from Netflix and Paramount. The Index further accelerates progress by allowing manufacturers to fill in their sustainability data once and share it with all the brands they work with, reducing duplication whilst also benchmarking industry maturity. This is a really great listen! Tune in as we talk to Helena about: How Products of Change grew from a think tank to a global membership organisation. Why sustainability conversations must be framed as business resilience, risk mitigation, and cost reduction. How working as an industry can make change happen faster. Recycle to Read – getting value from waste. Why honesty in marketing is so important and how the language needs to change.

Have you ever wondered about the back story of businesses and why they are created?  In this episode of Choice, Change and Action, Simone Milasas talks about the impetus for her latest business venture, Whatever Makes U Happy, and reveals the back story of some of the slogans that appear on the products. Simone would like to see a change in the world and Whatever Makes U Happy is one way that she is inviting that change. What would you like to create and choose in the world? You have a different choice. Will you start choosing it? Choose to live!   Questions And Tools: "What would it take for me to work elegantly in this business?" "Does it make me happy?" "Who does this belong to?" "What can I be today?" "Dear universe, what else is possible?" Tools: How many of you are telling yourself the lie that you have to do more? What if it's about being more? What if you could work elegantly? Do you know there is something else possible? There is a different way to be here on this planet. Are you going to choose it or get sucked into all the noise around you? Include money in your business, but don't make it the initial reason for choosing it. Where are you not choosing something because you've decided it won't make you enough money? Don't make it about the money. What if you could receive in a very different way?

This is a special episode produced by the collaboration between TiE San Diego and Tantra's Mantra.In this episode, I speak to Mark Budgen of Lenovo and Rajnikant Gupta of TCS on the current status of AI adoption in enterprises. We start by discussing which segments and which functions within organizations have seen deeper adoption of AI, whether AI projects have moved from PoC and trials to production, what the major challenges are in that transition, how the thinking and approach of enterprises toward AI have changed over the short period, the need for “Human in the loop,” and the necessity of Hybrid AI. We discuss key takeaways from Lenovo's “CIO Playbook 2026” report and how enterprises are now more focused on improving and accelerating business outcomes rather than simply improving productivity.Finally, we delve into what to expect in the near and far future, moving from Generative and Agentic AI to Physical and Embodied AI.Index:00:00 - Intro01:05 - Guest intro (Mark Budgen, CTO, Global Technology Partners at Lenovo, & Rajnikant Gupta, Global Head - Partner Ecosystems and Alliances, TCS)02:28 - Current status of AI adoption in Enterprises, how AI can improve business, not just efficiency, risk considerations06:30 - Difference in level of AI adoption between various functional groups within Enterprises - IT, Coding, Security, Supply Chain, Sales & Marketing13:30 - Evolution of Human involvement in AI processes. Humans in the Agentic AI loop will be required for a long time, because of the risk of failure and its costs16:56 - Key takeaways from Lenovo's "CIO Playbook 2026" report: AI is not the entire toolbox, but one of the tools; focus is on how to use AI to improve and accelerate business and finally the outcomes; mapping IT KPIs to Business KPIs22:16 - Current status of AI projects, in "Production" vs. "PoC" or "Trials" stage. The majority still in the process of moving to Production. Execs now better understand their business value; Focus on platforms to scale rather than simple point solutions28:13 - Challenges in implementing AI: Employee fear of replacement, lack of domain experts with AI knowledge,31:56 - Hybrid AI: How to decide where to run AI: Cloud or Edge? Dependencies: Sovereignty, access to data, power, and cooling; Token use optimization38:27 - What to expect to see in the near and far future: Physical AI, Embodied AI, AI becoming ubiquitous and41:20 - Closing

Stage 1 of the 2026 Tour de France delivered chaos from the very start in Barcelona, with a fast and technical 19.6km team time trial that opened the race right up. It was complete carnage for INEOS. A puncture for Kévin Vauquelin, Egan Bernal and Thymen Arensman both dropped, and Filippo Ganna left to finish the stage completely alone after riding away from his own teammates. Despite setting a time 30 seconds faster than Mathieu van der Poel, it still wasn't enough for the win. The shock came from Visma. After questions over their team time trial strength coming in without Wout Van Aert, Jonas Vingegaard and his team delivered a huge statement ride to take Stage 1 - with Vingegaard beating Ganna by 7 seconds to claim the first yellow jersey. Was anyone expecting that? Plus: our Muc-Off Moment of the Day, a look ahead to Stage 2 and an inside scoop on EF Education Easy Post's new aero helmet designed by POC.

Join in the conversation!Enjoy this clip from episode 104!The discussion centers on the phrase "we are not a monolith" as it's used in online discourse, especially within the Black gay community.Main points:The contradiction: Despite preaching individuality, there's still pressure to fit a specific mold — those who don't match the expected "blueprint" often get pushed aside.What the phrase usually means: It's typically invoked to push back against stereotypes — like the assumption that all Black gay men or POC live the same lifestyle (constant clubbing, socializing, etc.).The critique: One speaker challenges the phrase itself, arguing it should really be "I am not a monolith" rather than "we," since so many people seem to follow the same patterns anyway. They suggest it's become more of an empty buzzword than a reflection of actual diversity.The nuance: The group lands somewhere in between — people can have layers and aren't defined by one experience, but they also acknowledge that certain habits (partying, hookup culture) genuinely are common within the Black gay diaspora, even if not universal or permanent for everyone.Essentially, it's a self-reflective conversation questioning whether a popular phrase about diversity actually holds up against observed community patterns, or if it's become a defensive catchphrase.

How many times do you use your feelings to be dramatic? Does that open you up or start to shut you down? In this episode of Choice, Change and Action, Simone Milasas talks about feelings and how they are used to control things - usually you!  As soon as you go to feelings, you go to judgement. What if you didn't judge anymore and started functioning from your awareness? Feelings are not real. What are you aware of? Feelings can also be used to avoid things, like the intensity of being - of being out of control, allowing the magic, the miracles and the chaos, and just questioning and choosing! Everything in your life is a choice. What if you enjoyed all of your choices and truly lived? Whatever you are choosing, have the best day so far, and always ask for more. Questions And Tools: "What am I aware of?" "What would I have to be and do today that would allow more money to show up than I know how to handle?" Tools: 99.99% of your emotions aren't yours. If you're thinking you're stinking. Feelings aren't real; they're designed to control you. Stop looking to others around you to justify your creations; just give it a shot. How many of you find it way easier to say "No," than "Yes"? What if you flipped it? Your body feels and you as an infinite being sense. For 3 days, ask, "Who does this belong to?" for every thought, feeling and emotion. Every time you go to your feelings, you invalidate your knowing. What is the value of invalidating your knowing? Whatever occurred in the past, what if that doesn't matter? What if it was about what you are choosing today? You're not wrong. You can instantaneously change a point of view. Are you using your feelings to avoid the intensity of being where you are constantly in question?  Feelings are not real and they're designed to control something - most of the time, you. Be willing to be out of control. What if you could choose more than anyone else? Would you be willing to give up your morals?   How many of you love your feelings? Everything that is and everywhere you are totally and utterly addicted to your feelings, will you destroy and uncreate it all times a godzillion? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, POVADs, creations, bases and beyonds. What if you stopped using your emotions and feelings to judge and you started functioning from your awareness? Everything that is, will you destroy and uncreate it all times a godzillion? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, POVADs, creations, bases and beyonds. How many feelings have you made so solid and real in your body that it is showing up as pain and suffering? Everything that is, will you destroy and uncreate it all times a godzillion?

Point of care (POC) has evolved from waiting-room pamphlets into one of pharma media's most powerful opportunities: a trusted, measurable channel that connects brands with patients, caregivers and providers when health decisions are made. In this episode, Health Monitor CEO David Paragamian and MM+M editor-at-large Steve Madden explore what modern POC can do today, from omnichannel strategy and NPI-level targeting to the context, trust and data that drive real outcomes. For brand teams and media planners rethinking where POC belongs in the campaign mix, this conversation makes the case for putting it closer to the center.   Check us out at: mmm-online.com Follow us: YouTube: @MMM-onlineTikTok: @MMMnewsInstagram: @MMMnewsonlineTwitter/X: @MMMnewsLinkedIn: MM+M To read more of the most timely, balanced and original reporting in medical marketing, subscribe here.Music: “Deep Reflection” by DP and Triple Scoop Music.

In this episode of PoC, we delve into part 2 of the Betty Andreasson case, an account that thoroughly blurs the line between a nuts-and-bolts UFO abduction and a mystical journey into unity consciousness. Equal parts highly strange and deeply profound.

Getting AI out of the POC and into production has been the defining challenge of the last three years. Brian Raymond has lived it from the inside — building infrastructure, mistiming bets, and figuring out in real time what "enterprise-ready" actually requires. This episode covers:What it takes to get AI out of the demo and into production at scaleWhy senior engineering judgment matters more than headcount in the AI eraHow Unstructured crossed the Valley of Death without forking their stack — same core code base on Game Warden and in financial servicesWhat a decade at CIA taught Brian about paranoia as a leadership practiceWhy the dam may have finally broken on enterprise AI adoptionBrian Raymond is CEO and co-founder of unstructured.io, an AI data infrastructure company with $65M raised, 70M open source downloads, and customers spanning financial services, defense, and enterprise SaaS.Connect with Brian:LinkedIn: Brian RaymondConnect with Tyler:LinkedIn: Tyler Sweatt

What future are you asking for with your business? What is it you would like to create? This episode of Choice, Change and Action is an excerpt from Simone Milasas' current Business Done Different class where she talks about getting clear on what it is you desire, and looking at the elements you are avoiding that could actually allow your business to grow and expand.  You have to actually take some action and put some work in to build the business. Stop limiting its growth through choices like competition, looking to the past, and making things matter that don't, and start choosing the elements of ease, joy, glory, magic, miracles and chaos. What seeds are you growing that you could be nurturing today? Questions And Tools: "What else can I generate?" "What else is occurring here that I haven't allowed myself to receive?" "If I wasn't competing, what else is available? What else could I be choosing in regards to this?" "What if this didn't matter?" Tools: What is the future you are asking for? What is the future your business is asking for? What else is occurring and what else is showing up that you haven't allowed yourself to receive? What seeds are you growing that you could be nurturing today? What else could you create, what else could you generate that you haven't allowed yourself to choose? Breathe. Stop listening to the noise. Ask a question.   What is the future that you are asking for? What is the future your business is asking for?

The conversation continues in the WEView panel, and the folks are chatting about white fragility when it comes to being held accountable for productions that are awfully a lot like the existing Black and POC shows; but first, being an artist and performer while parenting, and navigating the treacherous landscape that targets queer people who have kids.  Plus, when is it a teachable moment and when is it just something someone should know and you gotta pass.

Enterprise AI investments frequently succeed at the pilot stage and collapse at scale, not because the technology fails, but because the organizational conditions for adoption were never established. In this episode, Darko Todorovic, CTO at HTEC Group, examines why most AI ROI gaps originate in poor problem definition and inadequate change management, and outlines how senior leaders can build the baselines, KPIs, and organizational readiness needed to measure and sustain real returns. The conversation covers practical guidance on assessing technological and organizational maturity, avoiding POC-to-production pitfalls, and selecting the right AI tools for specific business contexts. This episode is sponsored by HTEC. In this episode we cover how enterprise leaders can measure and prove AI ROI after deployment.

What can you choose to create as a business? In this episode of Choice, Change and Action Simone Milasas talks building a business with choices, questions, contribution, possibilities and chaos. Your business doesn't have to be stressful and you don't have to be overwhelmed. If you have the mindset that you are stressed, overwhelmed or in burnout, you are the one creating that.  There is a different choice available. Let's build a business done different! Questions And Tools: "What awareness did I gain from this?" "What relaxation can I be with my business (project/idea) today?" "Is this relevant?" "What can I be today?" "All of life comes to me with ease and joy and glory." "I'm having this. I'm choosing this. No matter what it takes, no matter what it looks like." "Show me business what you would like to be."   Tools: Business isn't guaranteed to be successful. You've got to be ready to pivot. You can't control a business; you need to navigate it. Stop focusing in on your business and start relaxing. Are you trying to prove your worth rather than know your worth? Sit and just BE with your business What choice can you make today? Where is your energy required? Is your energy required today? Chaos creates. Havoc is a destructive energy. When you are willing to be out of control, you will have chaos. Pull energy into your business. Have so much joy in everything you choose. Engage. Create a flow.  Business is not about being harsh; it's about creating that invitation. Allow your business to show you what else is possible. Get your Bars run. If you are experiencing 'overwhelm' momentarily change what you are doing. What are you making relevant that is not relevant? If you were going to live for the next 100 years/300 years/500 years, what would you choose?  Does it matter what you get done today? Include your body in your business; include your body in everything you choose. You have to ask for it. Don't be invested in the outcome Let the business show you what next. You don't need money, you choose money. What reason and justification are you using to not just start? Don't delay. Start. You've got to be willing to choose it.   Everywhere you haven't allowed yourself to relax with your business, will you destroy and uncreate it all times a godzillion? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, POVADs, creations, bases and beyonds. Everywhere you have decided you must control your business, will you destroy and uncreate it all times a godzillion?

Introduction Most insurers say they want to be innovative. Fewer have a systematic way to know what's worth pursuing, who's building it, and whether they should partner, invest, or simply wait. Matt Connolly has spent ten years building the answer to that problem. Connolly is the founder of Sønr, a global market intelligence platform that tracks over five million companies and helps insurers, reinsurers, and brokers make better decisions about innovation and technology. Working with fifty-plus tier-one carriers—from Travelers and Liberty Mutual to Munich Re, Allianz, and Tokio Marine—as well as brokers like Guy Carpenter and WTW, Sønr sits at the intersection of the startups changing the industry and the incumbents that need to understand them. In this conversation, Josh Hollander and Connolly dig into where innovation intent breaks down inside large carriers, the four points where value leaks out of a corporate innovation process, why POC purgatory is a symptom not the disease, and how Sønr 2.0 is bringing market intelligence to operators who've been tasked to innovate but not given the tools to do it. Guest Bio Matt Connolly is the Founder and CEO of Sønr, a global insurtech market intelligence platform used by fifty-plus tier-one insurers, reinsurers, and brokers worldwide. Founded ten years ago, Sønr tracks over five million companies and has built a proprietary data set on insurance innovation unavailable to general AI platforms. He also hosts his own podcast interviewing innovation leaders from major global carriers. Sønr now generates half its revenue from North America and recently made its first US hire. Key Topics • Where innovation intent breaks down — At the CEO level. Without clear sponsorship and direction from leadership, innovation functions become disconnected from real business priorities. Ten years of data backs this up. • The four value leaks — Not understanding trends, poor scouting discipline, year-long POCs that should be three weeks, and failing to move from POC to pilot to scale. Each is a distinct failure mode with a distinct fix. • POC purgatory — Mature innovation programs are running more POCs than ever but scaling fewer. The root cause is almost always people: wrong sponsors, wrong internal champions, or wrong startup for the actual need. Sønr's fix: a one-day workshop to build a mini business case before a three-week POC begins, with KPIs and go/no-go criteria agreed upfront. • The decentralization of innovation — Carriers that once had centralized innovation functions have spread that mandate across underwriting, claims, and distribution—but capability hasn't followed. Operators have been tasked to innovate with no networks, no tooling, and no experience. This is the gap Sønr 2.0 addresses. • Sønr 2.0 and the Emerging Trends Academy — A simple front-end into ten years of proprietary insurance innovation data, priced for operators not just innovation teams. The Emerging Trends Academy goes deeper: cross-industry groups going deep on specific trends with startups, carriers, consultants, and academics in the same room. • The data moat — Ten years of tracking every company, trend signal, and client engagement within insurance innovation. Data that Connolly notes even Anthropic or OpenAI simply can't access. That compounded intelligence sits behind both the platform and the research offering. Notable Quotes "Don't go with the startup that is the best salesperson. Do the scouting properly—where are they based, what's their culture, who are their people, does the technology align to your needs?" "POC purgatory. We're seeing mature innovation businesses doing more POCs than ever but not moving beyond them. The answer is often the people." "The data we sit on is not available to anybody else. It's compounded intelligence from ten years. Anthropic or OpenAI simply can't get to it." "If you don't get your direction right from the top, the value leak is going to be huge later on. Just start in the right place." Resources Guest: • Sønr: https://www.sonr.io • Matt Connolly on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wearematt/ Host & Organization: • Joshua R.

What if you didn't have to prove anything to anyone, and you could choose what it is that you actually desire? In this episode of Choice, Change and Action Simone Milasas talks with Viktor and Amanda Anderson about how they co-create as a family. What they have learnt is to allow others to explore whatever they are aware of, with no point of view about the choices they are choosing. And, to be aware of everyone's projections and expectations, but make your own choices based on what it is that you desire. When you choose from your awareness, there will be a thread of communion throughout - with no right or wrong, just choice. Make choices that make you happy. That's when the magic explodes and you have an enthusiasm for the adventure of living!  Questions And Tools: "What would I actually like to create?" "Is this going to work for me?" "What could I choose?"  Tools: What is it that you truly desire? What if you didn't have to prove anything? What if you could take advantage of whatever you have available? Embrace everyone and everything that is contributing to you; don't make something hard that is actually ease. It's okay to have possibilities available. It's okay to have money. It's okay to be born into a good family. Be grateful. There's a generosity in receiving. Acknowledge that you are actually choosing everything - regardless of what is going on. Have no point of view about what others choose; allow each person to explore whatever they are aware of. Choose what you are aware of, and there will be a thread of communion throughout. There is no right or wrong; just choice, and you get to choose. Have each others back. Make choices that make you happy. Everything you've chosen has gotten you where you are today. Don't judge what you've chosen, just keep choosing. When you choose to create your life, you have that enthusiasm. Keep going, keep choosing. If you are currently holding yourself back, who or what are you holding yourself back for and what is the value of that?  Follow your awareness. You've always had possibilities available. Play with exploring choices. When you have points of views and judge yourself, it's not being kind to yourself. If you are willing to be kind to you, possibilities open up and you're willing to receive in a whole other way. It has to start with you. There is so much more possible than what we've currently chosen. When you choose, then you create it. Make a choice and magic explodes. Everywhere you are choosing unkindness and not receiving so you can create separation rather than the vulnerability of being in communion, will you destroy and uncreate it all times a godzillion?

How many of you are a control freak of magnitude? You tend to control because you misidentified and misapplied that will create a greater result than not controlling. But you actually stop receiving when you control. What if instead you could trust you and trust that the universe has your back? In this episode of Choice, Change and Action Simone Milasas talks about control versus trust. Being a control freak is not  right or wrong, good or bad - it's actually a skill - but are you using it to your advantage or are you stopping receiving by controlling everything?  What if it's about following the energy and choosing? You have infinite choice, but how many of you justify that you don't? Let's choose something different and be out of control. Let's receive more and be more! Questions And Tools: "The universe has my back, what am I going to choose?" "Universe, show me what else is possible." "Universe, show me some miracles today." Tools: Acknowledge how much you love to control. Trust you! Trust that the universe has your back. If you weren't controlling, what could you change? What would happen if you gave up control? Do you really think control will create greater? Pull energy through you and your financial reality. Everywhere you've decided your financial reality is a problem, turn it 180 degrees, over and over. What lightness, magic, and miracles can you let into you and your financial reality? What have you decided trusting the universe is?  Embrace chaos.  Allow the magic and miracles to show up. Ask for beings who are desiring something different to show up. Learn to lie to others but don't lie to yourself Are you controlling because you think you've got it right? Do you think you have to stay the same because that's how everybody else perceives you?   What are you trying to control in your life that you think will get a greater result than not controlling? Everything that is, will you destroy and uncreate it all times a godzillion? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all 100, shorts, boys, POVADs, creations, bases and beyonds.
