What separates thriving private boards from the ones stuck on repeat? In this eye-opening episode, Lisa G. sits down with Jack Squires, a respected expert in Privately Held Board Advisory, to uncover the hidden patterns that hold boards back — and the strategies that drive true value creation. You'll discover: 1-Why Jack is passionate about empowering privately held boards — and what makes their work so meaningful. 2-The #1 mistake boards keep repeating (and how to break the cycle for good). 3-What the Vertical Diversity Metric really means — and how it reshapes board performance. 4-How boards can evolve from governance bodies into real engines of value creation. If you're a CEO, board member, or advisor ready to elevate your board's impact — this conversation is a must-listen.

Loved this episode, Tonya has had an amazing journey. Enjoy this encore episode as we take a short holiday break , We will be back next week with all new episodes. Tonya Kortekaas lives in Pontiac, Michigan, with her husband, Michael, of 11 years. She is the mother of three adult sons and a “bonus” mom to Michael's three children.Tonya spent most of her adult life as a stay-at-home mom of 3 growing boys and self-employed as a portrait photographer.  She felt that her most important mission in life was to raise her children and give them all the care and love they deserved.  She has been good at putting her family before her own needs, but the costs of that have been not caring for her mind and body as she should.  As her children have become adults and she has had more time to work on herself, she has entered into the full timeworking world and currently works for Oakland University.  She enjoys outdoor walks, kayaking, biking, watercolour painting and coffee in her free time. Tonya has struggled with her weight since her early 20s. She realizes that emotional eating and overindulging in sweets have been her issues.   She has tried countless diets, which have allowed her to lose weight but eventually gain it all back and more over the years.  At her annual physical exam in March of 2022, she was confronted with the highestweight of her lifetime at 349 lbs. and a BMI of 51.  Her blood pressure was soaring to a dangerous high, and her blood tests showed she was pre-diabetic.  She knew at that moment it was time for a significant change. Shewas sick of living life with this ongoing weight struggle and longed deeply to be a “normal” "-sized person.  Little did she know that change was going to lead her to an intermittent fasting lifestyle and complete freedom from her struggles with eating.  She's lost 155 lbs over 26 months of her weight loss journey. Since being on the podcast in February of 2023, episode 161, Tonya has discovered the benefits of a carnivore lifestyle and hasnoticed numerous health benefits by cutting the sugar and processed foods out of her life.   Our Patreon Supporters Community Please consider joining the Fasting Highway Patreon community.

We start with the tragic passing of D'Angelo and open up about how we'd personally deal with illness and would we share our struggles publicly or fight them privately? From there, we discuss Gucci Mane's openness about his mental health journey and the reality of what healing looks like for Black men who live their lives in the public eye. The fellas also share their own real experiences with mental health, reflection, and growth. Plus, in our Ask A Black Man segment, we answer a question about the last book we read and how it impacted us in real life.

In this episode of Dollars & Sense with Joel Garris, listeners are treated to an insider's perspective from a prestigious investment conference attended by just 100 select guests and hosted by one of the world's largest asset managers. Joel kicks off with a deep dive into the hottest topic in finance—Artificial Intelligence (AI). He explores AI's growing influence on investments, the labor market, and society, highlighting both its potential and the cautionary flags, such as possible overcapacity and the challenges it poses for younger generations. Joel then shifts focus to three major investment themes: the importance of national security in shaping investment decisions, the surge of private equity and private credit for everyday investors, and the need for careful portfolio allocation to avoid hidden overconcentration in growth stocks. Next, Joel breaks down everything you need to know about Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)—from recent changes in age requirements to smart strategies for minimizing tax impact, including withholding and charitable giving. Whether you're nearing retirement or already enjoying it, this segment offers actionable advice to keep your finances on track. The episode also features a practical guide to Ladybird Deeds—an estate planning tool that helps homeowners transfer property to loved ones without the hassle of probate. Joel explains how Ladybird Deeds work, their advantages over traditional probate, and step-by-step instructions to implement this powerful tool. Rounding out the show, Joel reviews the latest market headlines, including a strong start to earnings season and how AI-driven efficiencies are helping corporate America outperform expectations. If you want to learn how AI is reshaping investments, the keys to managing your retirement withdrawals, and estate planning strategies that save time and money, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss.

Can police use text messages that a complainant voluntarily hands over without a warrant? Joseph, Michael and Alper walk through the fresh R v Dhaliwal (Oct 8, 2025) decision, recap the Supreme Court's R v Marakah (2017) framework on privacy in digital messages, and contrast R v Reeves (2018) and Lampert (2023 ONCA) on third-party devices and shared control. They unpack Section 8's “search” vs “seizure,” how passive police collection can still breach the Charter, and why 24(2) good-faith analysis often keeps the evidence in. The crew hash out when a warrant should be mandatory, the dangers of cherry-picked screenshots, and how AI-era fakery raises the stakes for authenticity and expert evidence.

The Department of the Air Force is opening up its unused land across five military bases to private companies to build artificial intelligence centers. A request for lease proposals posted last week follows President Donald Trump's executive order to use federally owned land and resources to quickly build AI data centers. In addition, the Air Force said the service “cannot afford to disregard or discount the value of any asset, and must optimize the real and potential value of those assets.” Each project must be valued at more than $500 million and require at least 100 megawatts of power to qualify. Companies can lease property on Air Force bases in Tennessee, California, Arizona, New Jersey and Georgia. The government can purchase services and power from the centers but it's not required to do so. Proposals are due by November 14.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Chuck Todd breaks down the ongoing government shutdown and the deep dysfunction gripping Washington. With the shutdown dragging into late October, Trump is reportedly tapping private donors to pay the military, while Speaker Mike Johnson keeps the House out of session — a move Chuck calls a major political blunder. As Trump consolidates control over both the presidency and Congress, Republicans appear more focused on shielding him than exercising oversight. Meanwhile, the Oversight Committee under James Comer has devolved into partisan theater, investigating the Bidens while ignoring blatant corruption in Trump’s orbit. Chuck argues that without real congressional checks, America risks drifting toward the kind of pre-revolutionary rot the Founders warned about — where power, privilege, and impunity rule unchecked. Finally, he hops in the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the publication of the Federalist Papers and why their lessons are extremely pertinent in the Trump era, answers questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and gives his college football recap.

Chuck Todd breaks down the ongoing government shutdown and the deep dysfunction gripping Washington. With the shutdown dragging into late October, Trump is reportedly tapping private donors to pay the military, while Speaker Mike Johnson keeps the House out of session — a move Chuck calls a major political blunder. As Trump consolidates control over both the presidency and Congress, Republicans appear more focused on shielding him than exercising oversight. Meanwhile, the Oversight Committee under James Comer has devolved into partisan theater, investigating the Bidens while ignoring blatant corruption in Trump’s orbit. Chuck argues that without real congressional checks, America risks drifting toward the kind of pre-revolutionary rot the Founders warned about — where power, privilege, and impunity rule unchecked. Then, filmmaker Raoul Peck joins Chuck to discuss his powerful new documentary Orwell: 2+2=5 — an exploration of truth, propaganda, and power in the age of Trump. Peck, whose work often examines systems of control and colonialism, draws from Orwell’s life and letters to reveal how 1984 was never just a warning about the future — it was a reflection of the present. He and Chuck unpack how doublespeak, “alternative facts,” and the rewriting of history have crept into modern democracies, from the U.S. to Russia, and what Orwell’s insights reveal about the fragility of truth today. Peck also reflects on his own Haitian roots and how the legacy of colonialism still shapes global politics, from America’s interference in Haiti to its uneasy role as an arbiter of democracy abroad. The conversation turns to the media’s complicity in enabling authoritarian narratives, the dangers of AI-driven misinformation, and why reclaiming truth — and teaching future generations to defend it — may be the defining struggle of our time. Finally, he hops in the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the publication of the Federalist Papers and why their lessons are extremely pertinent in the Trump era, answers questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and gives his college football recap.

"5G is becoming a great enabler for industries, enterprises, in-building connectivity and a variety of use cases, because now we can provide both the lowest latency and the highest bandwidth possible,” states Ganesh Shenbagaraman, Radisys Head of Standards, Regulatory Affairs & Ecosystems.In the recent episode of the Tech Transformed podcast, Shubhangi Dua, Podcast Host, Producer, and Tech Journalist at EM360Tech, speaks to Shenbagaraman about 5G and edge computing and how they power private networks for various industries, from manufacturing, national security to space.The Radisys' Head of Standards believes in the idea of combining 5G with edge computing for transformative enterprise connectivity. If you're a CEO, CIO, CTO, or CISO facing challenges of keeping up the pace with capacity, security and quality, this episode is for you. The speakers provide a guide on how to achieve next-gen private networks and prepare for the 6G future. Real-Time ControlThe growing need for real-time applications, such as high-quality live video streams and small industrial sensors with instant responses, demands data processing to occur closer to the source than ever before. Alluding to the technical solution that provides near-zero latency and ensures data security, Shenbagaraman says:"By placing the 5G User Plane Function (UPF) next to local radios, we achieve near-zero latency between wireless and application processing. This keeps sensitive data secure within the enterprise network."Such a strategy has now become imperative in handling both high-volume and mission-critical low-latency data all at the same time. Radisys addresses key compliance and confidentiality issues by storing the data within a private network. Essentially, they create a safe security framework that yields near-zero latency to guarantee utmost data security.Powering Edge Computing ApplicationsThe real-world benefit of this zero-latency setup is the power it gives to edge computing applications. As the user plane function is the network's final data exit point, positioning the processing application near it assures prompt perspicuity and action."The devices could be sending very domain-specific data,” said Shenbagaraman. “The user plane function immediately transfers it to the application, the edge application, where it can be processed in real time."It reduces errors and improves the efficiency of tasks through the Radisys platform, with the results meeting all essential requirements, including compliance needs.One such successful use case spotlighted in the podcast is the Radisys work with Lockheed Martin's defence applications. "We enabled sophisticated use cases for Lockheed Martin by leveraging the underlying flexibility of 5G,” the Radisys speaker exemplified. Radisys team customised 5G connectivity for the US defence sector. It incorporated temporary, ad-hoc networks in challenging terrains using Internet Access Backhaul. It also covered isolated, permanent private networks for locations such as maintenance...

Private equity investment in health care facilities has grown substantially in the past decade. There have been hundreds of such acquisitions of health care facilities in the past decade, including physician practices, nursing home facilities, and hospitals involving hundreds of billions of dollars.At its most basic, private equity investors take over a health care company with the intention of increasing its value and reselling it for a profit. Advantages of such a strategy can be more capital investment and management expertise. Downsides include the use of leveraged buyouts that could saddle the acquired company with high levels of debt. On this episode, we're joined by Dr. Zuri Song, an associate professor of health care policy and medicine at Harvard Medical School, and an expert on the financial incentives, public policies, and private sector investment in the health care system. Dr. Song explained what research has found in studying private equity acquisitions in health care. On average, he said, these investments raise real concerns about both patient outcomes and access to care.State legislatures are at the forefront of regulation in this area with much of the regulation focusing on increased transparency into these transactions. I talked with two state legislators to get their perspective: Senator Tyler Johnson, a Republican from Indiana who is also a physician, and Senator Cindy Friedman, a Democrat from Massachusetts. They each discussed the legislative action in their states and how they view private equity investment.ResourcesThe Evolving Landscape of State Health Care Transaction Laws, NCSL Health Costs, Coverage and Delivery Database, NCSL 

There comes a point when a certain version of you that once felt right…just doesn't resonate anymore. It might be your identity in business, in relationship, in your public persona - it starts to feel outdated, draining or just totally inauthentic. That's not failure; it's growth! Get excited - you're evolving. This episode dives into why it's so crucial to stop resuscitating what's already dead - and why letting go before you see proof of what's next isn't just necessary - it's the power move.

Send us fan responses! If you think your Social Security number proves ownership, wait until the court calls it “probate.” We walk through how that number ties to a public Sesta Que Vie trust where you enjoy benefits but the state holds legal title—and why that split keeps families stuck in taxes, fees, and delays. The shift is profound yet practical: move from public default to private design with a family trust that you create, fund, and govern, so control lives where your legacy lives.We unpack equitable vs legal title using plain language, then connect the dots to wages, licenses, car registrations, and why assets in your legal name flow through probate. From there, we map how trusts function as legal persons, how co‑mingling and the doctrine of merger quietly wreck good plans, and how to structure trusteeship so successors actually lead. We spotlight what the greats get right—family foundations, 508(c)(1)(A) beneficiaries, and disciplined governance—so your last name becomes a durable enterprise rather than a file number.You'll hear a clear pathway: establish a private family trust, fund it with real titles and assignments, train trustees, and route insurance and income with intent. We also cover common codes and terms in context—Sesta Que Vie, SPVs, amalgamation—so you can see how the public system administrates while a private plan controls. If you're ready to stop being just a beneficiary and start acting like a trustee, this is your blueprint.Subscribe for more deep, practical breakdowns, share this with someone building a legacy, and leave a review to tell us the next question you want answered.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com

Jeffrey Diehl, Managing Partner and Head of Investments at Adams Street Partners, joins the InsuranceAUM.com podcast to explore whether the rapid growth of private credit platforms, particularly BDCs and insurer-owned portfolios, is creating systemic risk or sustainable opportunity.   In this candid conversation with host Stewart Foley, Diehl explains how deployment pressure, the rise of PIK loans, and reduced underwriting discipline could challenge returns in an overheated segment of the market. He also unpacks the scale of capital flowing through these platforms, the structural differences between perpetual BDCs and traditional private credit funds, and what red flags insurance investors should be monitoring.   For anyone allocating to private credit, or evaluating manager selection, this episode offers timely, practical insight into how scaling may impact risk, performance, and long-term portfolio outcomes.

In episode 298, Renaud talks with Roberth Jonsson (24HourAR) about what “compliance” really means in the EU/UK. Industrial products, consumer goods, dropshipping; if you sell in the EU/UK under your own brand, you're legally the manufacturer. That means CE testing alone won't save you. You need the right directives/standards, a complete technical file, and (in most cases) an EU Responsible Person, often an Authorized Representative (AR).   Episode Sections: 00:00:13 – Introduction. 00:03:20 – EU compliance at a high level: directives vs standards; CE ≠ everything. 00:06:51 – Who's the “manufacturer” legally? Private label importers beware. 00:10:16 – Testing reports vs full compliance: technical file, risk assessment, manuals. 00:12:26 – The “responsible person” & why it exists. 00:14:18 – Market Surveillance Reg (2019/1020) and GPSR expanding the scope. 00:17:41 – Importer obligations & the pain of sharing technical docs with many importers. 00:20:03 – When to appoint an Authorized Representative (AR); DTC and online sellers. 00:23:17 – Dropshipping into the EU: why customs may block you without an EU RP. 00:25:15 – EU vs UK: similar rules, separate markets; you need separate reps. 00:26:22 – “Can my cousin be the AR?” Contracts, duties, and… big risks. 00:27:13 – Coming change: Product Liability Directive will add AR liability. 00:29:19 – ESPR & Digital Product Passports; unified customs tools = tighter checks. 00:33:05 – Gatekeepers: ARs/importers get pickier as liability rises. 00:34:44 – How to contact 24HourAR.   Related content...

One of the hottest events in San Francisco over the past couple of months was a lecture series by tech billionaire Peter Thiel – in which he preached about those he thinks are “legionnaires of the Antichrist.” Thiel has shared his Christian viewpoints publicly and is a longtime supporter of conservative politicians. But in these talks, he asserts that those who are pro-regulation are also against God. The lectures were off the record, but Gerrit De Vynck and other reporters at The Post obtained leaked recordings of them. Today on “Post Reports,” Gerrit shares these recordings with host Colby Itkowitz and unpacks what Thiel's argument says about tech's growing power and ambition during the second Trump administration.Today's show was produced by Sabby Robinson. It was edited by Laura Benshoff and mixed by Sean Carter. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

Veteran attorney Dennis Hursh discusses his article "Private practice employment agreements: What happens if private equity swoops in?" In this episode, Dennis explains how private equity acquisitions of medical practices complicate the traditional path for employed physicians who expect eventual ownership. He highlights risks such as working years at below-median pay without ever reaching partnership and inheriting underpaying contracts after a sale. Dennis also offers strategies for physicians to negotiate protections, including provisions for equity-equivalent bonuses or safeguards in case of a private equity takeover. He emphasizes that while some private equity firms bring resources and technology, others impose profit-driven pressures that can erode job satisfaction. Listeners gain actionable insights into safeguarding their career paths and financial futures in the evolving private practice landscape. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

Ever had a great round going until someone says, “Wow, you're playing amazing today,” and suddenly… you can't find the fairway?

What if real estate could rebuild lives while building lasting wealth? In this 45-minute episode of Invest2FI, host Craig Curelop welcomes back real estate investor Jim Boad for an in-depth conversation about scaling success through trust, discipline, and purpose. Jim shares how he pivoted during COVID from struggling rentals to sober-living group homes that blend community impact with strong returns.  Operating in a small Washington market near Olympia, he explains his model of five-bedroom, three-bath homes renting for $700 per bed, often partnered with recovery clinics and DOC reentry programs that prepay several months in advance.  Jim also discusses leveraging $100K–$200K grants, launching a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and working with private lenders at two points and ten percent interest to fund and scale 18 new builds. This episode reveals how purpose-driven investing can generate both financial freedom and meaningful community change. PODCAST HIGHLIGHTS: [03:42] Craig tees up the sober living deep dive with Jim's backstory. [04:00] COVID nonpaying rentals force Jim to pivot toward group homes. [5:24] Buys a $500 coaching course overnight and launches within a week. [07:39] Converts rentals into sober living homes and adds extra bedrooms. [09:41] Payment totals $2,700 monthly; collects $7,000 using per-bed rent. [11:03] Residents' stays are prepaid for two to six months by recovery programs. [12:01] Operations manager Shay handles calls, phones, and food support. [15:31] Random drug testing; any failed test leads to immediate removal. [18:00] Explains the drug-free rule to maintain state and grant compliance. [20:47] Research areas by mapping local clinics and case manager networks. [24:03] Expands via referrals from agencies impressed with his housing quality. [27:36] Keeps furnishing simple, durable furniture, storage, and ready rooms only. [28:12] Secures $200,000 in grant funding and forms a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. [30:26] Grants fund operations, staff, utilities, and resident scholarships. [32:26] Now building 18 homes, start two, refinance, then repeat the process. [34:20] Private lenders fund projects at two points and ten percent interest. [34:51] He met his main lender at a bar, proof that valuable connections can happen anywhere. [36:16] Keeps 30–35% equity to build long-term legacy instead of chasing quick profits. [41:37] Advises new investors to start small and build credibility through consistency. [42:26] Success story: one property doubled in value through patience and discipline.  HOST Craig Curelop

Can You Really Spot a Great Company Before Everyone Else Does? In this episode of REady2Scale, Jeannette Friedrich sits down with Lee McCabe, Partner at Claymore Partners and former executive at Meta, Alibaba, and Expedia. With deep experience in both technology and private equity, Lee shares how to uncover high-potential companies, particularly those hiding in “boring” sectors, by focusing on digital transformation, data-driven operations, and overlooked growth levers. Whether you're an investor, operator, or advisor, you'll gain practical insights into how leading firms are building value not just through financial engineering but through smarter marketing, better tech stacks, and operational efficiency. Key Takeaways: - Why old-school industries hold untapped value:Digitally underserved sectors like B2B and consumer services are ripe for disruption and value creation. - The power of a functional tech stack: Many businesses lack proper data infrastructure. Building a connected, insight-driven stack is step one to scaling sustainably. - What digital value creation really looks like:Private equity must shift from passive ownership to active operational involvement, especially in marketing and data analytics. - Lead generation is the real business: CEOs in services should view themselves as running lead generation engines. Conversion begins with optimised websites and media spend tracked to ROI. - AI hype versus reality: AI is not yet the silver bullet for most companies. Without basic data systems in place, AI becomes a distraction rather than a solution. - How to avoid data overload: Focus on the 10 to 15 KPIs that truly drive performance instead of drowning in dashboards and vanity metrics. - The real role of marketing agencies: Good agencies tie marketing spend directly to revenue and profitability instead of reporting on clicks and impressions. - Advising today's private equity investors: Future-leading firms will use defined operational playbooks focused on digital execution from day one rather than relying on traditional financial levers. - The compound effect of small steps: Lee shares his philosophy for building an extraordinary life: take consistent action every day, even when the direction is unclear.

6. US Military Infrastructure Needs Seek $150 Billion Investment from Private Equity Elizabeth Peek, Fox News and The Hill, with John Batchelor Peek discusses the initiative by the President and his counselor to invite private equity firms to propose creative ideas for funding crucial infrastructure needs estimated at $150 billion. These necessary projects include building military bases and data centers for the future of AI and national security. Ideas welcomed involve trading land or offering investment opportunities for equity firms in the military department. Private equity manages vast sums, cited at $13 trillion, and is enthusiastically seeking decent returns on investment. The effort is part of a broader deal-making drive, similar to the rare earth agreement with Australia designed to offset China's capital contr

Recently, a United Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 en route from Denver to Los Angeles was forced to make an emergency landing in Salt Lake City after colliding with an unidentified object over Utah. The impact shattered the cockpit windshield, injuring one of the pilots and prompting the crew to announce that the aircraft had “collided with an object.” Early investigations seem to rule out space debris or meteors, and while investigators continue working to resolve the situation, a potential break in this unusual case may have now revealed what actually happened.  This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine the unnerving incident, along with the issue of potential dangers that unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) may represent to pilots, with a look at historic cases and similar incidents where possible collisions with unknown objects may have imperiled aircraft.  Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting? Please consider reporting your sighting to the UAP Sightings Reporting System, a public resource for information about sightings of aerial phenomena.
