The government will allow a 'Parent Boost' visa from September. It will grant parents of citizens multi-entry access for five years, with the opportunity for renewal once - meaning they could hold the visa for 10 years. Applicants will also need to meet specific health, income, and insurance requirements. NZ Immigration Principal Consultant Katy Armstrong says New Zealand's not always just a skip across the ditch. For some people its a 24-hour journey or more, so the visa's a significant move. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Patrick Ferdig is the Founder and Principal Consultant at The Power of Partnering, a firm dedicated to helping B2B technology and service providers build and scale effective partner-led growth strategies. With over two decades of experience in the technology industry, Patrick specializes in developing partner programs — including reseller channels, integration marketplaces, and referral networks — that drive revenue and innovation. His approach is grounded in five core principles: trust, alignment, collaboration, accountability, and facilitation, which he applies to help organizations unlock their full potential through strategic partnerships. In this episode… As traditional sales and marketing tactics reach their limits, businesses are looking for smarter, more sustainable ways to grow. What really makes a partnership thrive in today's crowded and complex market? According to Patrick Ferdig, a veteran partnership strategist and consultant, it all starts with trust. He highlights that internal alignment across teams is just as crucial as external collaboration. Without a clear structure and shared understanding of goals, even the most promising partnerships can falter. Patrick explains that the most successful companies treat partnerships as a core growth strategy, not a side initiative. He also emphasizes that revenue impact doesn't come from signing more partners but from engaging deeply with fewer, well-matched ones. In this episode of the Revenue Engine Podcast, host Alex Gluz speaks with Patrick Ferdig, Founder and Principal Consultant at The Power of Partnering, to discuss the five pillars of partnership success. They explore why trust drives results, how alignment shapes execution, and what businesses must prioritize to turn partners into revenue engines. Patrick also gives advice on scaling outreach using AI tools.

In this episode, Liz Hutson, Principal Consultant and Owner at EGH, LLC, joins Scott Becker to explore the often-overlooked “middle” phase of projects and businesses.

Running an agency can feel like shouting into the void—hours spent on content, pitch decks, and proposals that never land. It's frustrating when you know you're good at what you do but can't seem to cut through the noise. A lot of the time, it's not about effort—it's about missing the mark on what really speaks to the people you want to work with. Without that connection, growth stays slow no matter how hard you push. Bill Rice is a FinTech marketing expert with 20+ years in sales strategy and a background as a U.S. Air Force officer. He now runs Bill Rice Strategy, helping startups grow through smart lead generation. Today, he breaks down how FinTech companies can connect with customers by focusing on relatable content, using AI to assist (not replace) creativity, and building personal brands that earn trust. His approach is clear: be human, be strategic, and stay authentic. Stay tuned!

Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as “food stamps,” SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: https://www.lead2greatness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cedricbfrancis X (twitter): https://twitter.com/cedricbfrancis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leadtogreatness/ • • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037/

Tom Netting, president of TEN Government Strategies and a trusted Washington insider, returns to provide a critical update on sweeping federal changes affecting higher education. In conversation with Drumm McNaughton, he breaks down the Trump administration's executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, a move that's already led to major staff reductions and the redistribution of responsibilities across other federal agencies. Key Discussion Points Structural Overhaul of the Department of Education: Nearly 50% of ED staff have been laid off, including in core offices such as Federal Student Aid and the Office for Civil Rights. Regional participation offices have been shut down, leaving institutions without direct support contacts. The shift of student loan collections to the Small Business Administration signals an unprecedented reorganization of oversight. Title IX and Civil Rights Rollbacks: The Supreme Court overturned Biden-era Title IX rules, reinstating Trump-era standards. Protections for transgender students and DEI-related compliance structures are being reversed or defunded. OCR layoffs jeopardize ongoing investigations and reduce institutional support. Policy Enforcement Through Funding Threats: Columbia University's $400M in federal funding was withheld and later restored after accepting federal conditions, including police authority to arrest student protesters and the appointment of an academic overseer. These enforcement tactics set a new precedent, raising concerns about academic freedom and governance. Student Loan Crisis and Risk Exposure: Delinquency rates are reportedly spiking, with internal policy discussions suggesting 70–80% of borrowers may be behind. Institutions face growing exposure as default risks rise, with potential Title IV eligibility consequences. Risk-sharing legislation and budget reconciliation proposals could place financial liability on colleges for unpaid loans. Governance, Autonomy, and Institutional Strategy: Boards must take a more active role in navigating federal restructuring and enforcement trends. The implications go beyond compliance—federal funding is increasingly tied to campus culture, policy, and speech. Strategic responses now require governance-level attention to protect institutional mission and integrity. Three Key Takeaways for Higher Education Leaders and Boards Reassure students that aid is still available and prepare them for repayment obligations now managed under new federal structures. Support compliance and financial aid staff as they navigate the loss of regional ED contacts and fast-changing guidance. Re-evaluate governance-level policies on Title IX, DEI, and civil rights to ensure legal alignment and institutional resilience.

His considerable background and experience have afforded him the opportunity to view the development and implementation of federal higher education and workforce development policy in their entirety – including issues related to higher education and workforce development, health care, veteran affairs policies, and the procurement of federal appropriations.

A highly sought-after higher education consultant with 20+ years of experience, Dr. McNaughton works with leadership, management, and boards of both U.S. and international institutions.

In the episode, we chat with Adrian Dance, Principal Consultant at SRK Consulting, an independent and international multi-disciplined mining consultancy focused on providing advice and solutions to clients, mainly in the earth and water resource industries. They offer services from exploration to mine closure and are specialists and leaders in fields such as due diligence, technical studies, mine waste and water management, permitting, and mine rehabilitation. Adrian’s expertise is in metallurgy and mineral processing and he's worked for the likes of Mount Isa Mines, Highland Valley, and Bisha Mining before joining SRK back in 2010 and is going to be talking about technology in mineral processing, using XRT over traditional sorting methods, AI, SRK’s partnership with Base Metallurgical Labs and why grade engineering plays a critical role in resource extraction. KEY TAKEAWAYS The mining industry is slow to adopt new technologies, which can significantly improve efficiency and processing. Embracing advancements like X-ray transmissive sensing (XRT) and AI can lead to better decision-making and operational flexibility. Implementing pre-concentration techniques to reject waste material early in the processing stage can enhance the economics of mining operations. This approach allows for the removal of waste before it enters the processing plant, reducing costs and environmental impact. The concept of grade engineering emphasises the need to actively manage and improve the quality of ore being processed. By utilising various techniques, such as differential blasting and sorting, mining operations can optimise the value extracted from their resources. Future mining operations will require more flexible processing systems that can adapt to the variability of incoming material. This includes the ability to make real-time adjustments based on the characteristics of the ore being processed. There is a need for the mining industry to break down silos between different disciplines. By fostering collaboration and sharing knowledge, companies can improve overall efficiency and innovation in mining practices. BEST MOMENTS "What we really need to be considering now more than ever is improving the quality of the material coming in to really improve the economics." "We are losing expertise; we are not really getting a lot of traction of people coming to the industry." "If you take somebody outside of the mining industry and say, we're going to process 99.999% waste to get to that .001% valuable, someone would say, check your head." "The biggest thing we want to do is to avoid people from shooting themselves in the foot with this technology."

Traditional sales tactics often fall flat in today's B2B landscape, especially when dealing with high-ticket deals. Buyers are more informed than ever, and outdated, pushy strategies only create resistance instead of trust. Success now comes from strategic positioning, deep relationship-building, and demonstrating real value at every touchpoint. When sales shifts from persuasion to partnership, closing big deals becomes a natural outcome instead of an uphill battle. Greg Nutter is the Principal Consultant at Soloquent.
