The ethics of the company in a highly politicized time. Businesses are increasingly social actors. They fund political campaigns, take stances on social issues, and wave the flags of identity groups. As a highly polarized public demands political alignment from the businesses where they spend their money, what's a company to do? Everyone's Business: What Companies Owe Society (University of Chicago Press, 2024) revises our understanding of business ethics in a world of unchecked corporate power. Political theorists Amit Ron and Abraham Singer show that the increasingly human-like role of companies in modern life is both the fundamental problem and inescapable fact of business ethics: corporate power makes business ethics necessary, and business ethics must strive to mitigate corporate power. Ron and Singer argue forcefully that the primary social responsibility of the modern business is to democracy, not politics. By wielding their newfound social influence on democratic institutions--elections, public debate, protest--businesses can be legitimated forces for good. Pragmatic and urgent, Everyone's Business offers an essential new framework for how we manufacture profit--and democracy--in our increasingly divided shared spaces.

Chip explains why it's intellectually honest to believe that the God of the Bible is actually the one, true God.

Some two thousand years ago, as the story goes, a rabbi named Yochanan makes the epitome of pragmatic gambles—wagering the entire fate of the Jewish people. In dialogue with the soon-to-be Roman emperor Vespasian, Yochanan tacitly acknowledges the Romans' planned destruction of Jerusalem in return for a plot of land in a town called Yavneh. There, after the razing of Jerusalem, Jews will join with their teacher to reenvision a new Judaism—one not based on Temple rites but on real life in exile—laying the groundwork for today's vibrant Judaism.In Rabbi Marc Katz's novel examination, pragmatism is itself an authentic Jewish strategy for addressing moral questions. The rabbis of the Talmud model the process by demonstrating how to think situationally, weigh competing values, and make hard compromises. Leading rabbis ask, “What will work?” alongside “What is right?” They birth a malleable and nuanced system of law (halakhah) that is faithful to their received tradition and to the people and circumstances before them.By investigating how the rabbis navigate their own ethical challenges—determining truth, upholding compromise, convincing others, keeping peace with neighbors, avoiding infighting, weighing sinning in hopes of promoting a greater good—Yochanan's Gamble: Judaism's Pragmatic Approach to Life (Jewish Publication Society, 2024) forges a new Jewish path forward for resolving moral conundrums in our day. Rabbi Marc Katz is the rabbi at Temple Ner Tamid in Bloomfield, New Jersey.

What You'll DiscoverIn this episode, we explore a rarely discussed yet deeply transformative teaching from the Bhagavad Gita. Krishna presents a psychological map of Buddhi and Dhriti, referring to intelligence and determination. Through verses 18.29 to 18.35, he explains how these two inner faculties are shaped by the three gunas: sattva (purity), rajas (passion), and tamas (inertia). These forces silently influence every choice we make, from our goals to our moral compass.What makes this even more profound is Krishna's insight that life's struggles often stem not just from external circumstances, but from the quality of our discernment (buddhi) and the depth of our perseverance (dhriti). You will encounter powerful modern parallels, including corporate burnout and spiritual bypassing, that reveal how rajasic and tamasic tendencies impact our moral clarity and emotional stamina.In a world filled with constant stimulation, conflicting advice, and emotional exhaustion, our inner compass can easily falter. Moral relativism has blurred the lines of ethical integrity, and moral inversion, where falsehood is mistaken for virtue, is widespread. The question arises: how do we remain rooted in truth and inner strength amidst such turmoil?Krishna offers a timeless solution. By cultivating sattvic buddhi, we begin to see clearly. By strengthening sattvic dhriti, we remain firm in what is right. With practical and relatable examples, you will see how this guidance applies to everyday scenarios like social media habits, leadership decisions, and emotional resilience.• How tamasic buddhi glamorizes harm and clings to illusion• Why rajasic dhriti drives ambition but often ends in exhaustion• How sattvic dhriti sustains spiritual effort through adversity• Clear, actionable tools to purify both intellect and willWhether you are a spiritual seeker, a leader making tough calls, or someone simply looking for clarity and strength, this episode will give you a practical framework from Krishna's teachings.

This week Graham, Kurt & Jake talk through a creepy problem with vampire lore, a brief mention of Kurt's Enoch list, a doubling down that it all comes back to abiding, and what they feel might be the narrow road of walking with Jesus intimately in today's world.

How do businesses untangle years of legacy technology without risking everything they have built? Today on Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Jacek Migdał, founder and CEO of Quesma, to explore this question and discover how his company offers a fresh and pragmatic approach to database migration and optimization. Jacek shared the story behind Quesma's creation, shaped by his early exposure to databases through his father's work and his own experiences in Silicon Valley. Through extensive research, he identified a widespread frustration among businesses trying to modernize their legacy systems, often facing high costs, licensing nightmares, and failed migrations. Rather than tearing everything down and starting from scratch, Quesma offers a database gateway that acts as a middle layer, allowing gradual migrations with far less risk. I learn more about how this technology enables companies to test new systems alongside their old ones, helping to avoid the costly mistakes that have historically derailed so many modernization projects. We  discussed how Quesma is addressing complex challenges across industries like telecom and travel. Their solution is already providing companies with ten times faster performance while significantly lowering operational costs, all without forcing disruptive system changes. Jacek also gave a sneak peek into two exciting new products launching soon. SQL extensions with pipe syntax will enrich data directly inside databases, while a feature called "smart charts" will offer AI-powered visualizations for faster, clearer insights. What makes Quesma truly stand out is its unapologetically pragmatic approach. Rather than assuming a clean, cloud-native environment, Quesma embraces most businesses' messy realities. Their clever use of AI enhances migration processes without relying solely on black box systems, striking a unique balance between speed, reliability, and cost efficiency. As we look toward the future, Jacek shared how Quesma is pushing forward with open-source initiatives, observability pipelines, and forming consortiums with major players in the tech industry. With upcoming appearances at major conferences in the United States and Europe, it is clear that Quesma is carving a new path for database modernization. How could a smarter approach to data migrations change how your organization adapts and grows in a data-driven world?

What happens when you apply product management principles to mission-driven work? In this episode, host Rebecca Kalogeris is joined by Neil Baron, Matthew Anderson, and Rod Griffith to discuss a compelling case study of their work with Mosaic Interfaith Youth Action—a nonprofit dedicated to building bridges across diverse communities. Mosaic had traditionally operated as a summer camp but needed a new approach to grow its impact. Neil and his team at Baron Strategic Partners used Pragmatic principles to reimagine the organization's value proposition, realign its mission, and design scalable programs. Through stakeholder interviews, messaging refinement, and deep market understanding, they uncovered barriers to participation and helped Mosaic evolve from a camp to a year-round movement. This episode is a masterclass in how product strategies can drive social impact—and a reminder that great product work starts with empathy, alignment, and clarity.

A pragmatic trial evaluates the effectiveness of a treatment or intervention in “real-world” clinical practice.  Outcomes are typically assessed from available records.  Eligibility in pragmatic trials are often broad, and don't have the exclusions of efficacy studies, which examine treatment effects under highly controlled conditions in highly select populations. Today we are delighted to welcome Jennifer Wolff, Sydney Dy, and Danny Scerpella, who conducted a pragmatic trial of advance care planning (ACP) in primary care practices; and Jasmine Santoyo-Olsson, who wrote an accompanying commentary in JAMA Internal Medicine. We spend the last portion of the podcast discussing the surprising finding of the study.  In the primary care practices that received the advance care planning intervention, rates of advance care planning were higher (about double). Shockingly, rates of potentially burdensome intervention (intubation, CPR, etc) were also higher in the advance care planning intervention group.  What?!?  Not a typo. We spend some time unpacking and contextualizing the potential reasons for this surprising finding, including: Disconnect between relatively low rates of new advance directives (12% in intervention arm vs 7% control) and higher rates of potentially burdensome treatment among decedents (29% in intervention arm vs 21% control).  Only 5% of intervention patients received the facilitator led component of the intervention (there were other components, facilitator-led was the most engaged component). Was there really a causal connection between the intervention, new advance directives, and higher rates of potentially burdensome interventions? Potential that care received, though potentially burdensome, was in fact aligned with goals, and might represent goal concordant care. Potential that documenting advance directives without a robust conversation about prognosis might have led to these findings.  My goals will differ if I think I probably have 2 years to live vs 10 years. Comparison to a trial Yael Shenker discussed in our podcast on AAHPM/HPNA plenary abstracts (also used the Respecting Choices intervention, outcome differed). Implications for the larger discussion over the value of advance care planning, and additional research into advance care planning.  As I say on the podcast, I'm sure Sean Morrison would be delighted to point to these findings as evidence that advance care planning doesn't work, and in fact may be harmful. And I got to sing in Spanish for the second time. I hope my pronunciation is better than my Urdu, or French! -Alex Smith

Organizations are facing a critical challenge to AI adoption: how to leverage their domain-specific knowledge to use AI in a way that delivers trustworthy results. Knowledge graphs provide the missing "truth layer" that transforms probabilistic AI outputs into real world business acceleration. Knowledge graphs are powering products for the likes of Amazon and Samsung. The Knowledge graph market is expected to grow to $6.93 Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 36.6%. Gartner has been advocating for the role of knowledge graphs in AI and the downstream effects in organizations going forward for the last few years. Neither the technology nor the vision are new. Knowledge graph technology has been around for decades, and people like Tony Seale were early to identify its potential for AI. Seale, also known as "The Knowledge Graph Guy", is the founder of the eponymous consulting firm. In this extensive conversation, we covered everything from knowledge graph first principles to application patterns for safe, verifiable AI, real-world experience, trends, predictions, and the way forward.
