Giving Tuesday has become a global moment to celebrate generosity. But for believers, it can be much more than a once-a-year opportunity to give. It can become a catalyst to cultivate a lifestyle of intentional, joy-filled stewardship all year long.Today, we explore how to give with both heart and wisdom—so that our generosity reflects God's purposes, not merely the moment. Joining the conversation is Al Mueller, founder and CEO of Excellence in Giving and former executive with Morgan Stanley and UBS.Beyond the Moment: What Giving Tuesday Really RepresentsFor Al Mueller, Giving Tuesday is more than a charitable trend—it's an invitation.“Giving Tuesday is a great opportunity to begin acting on generosity,” he says, “but it's also a moment to pause and align with God's purposes.” Al reminds us of Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 9:7: “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart… for God loves a cheerful giver.”In other words, generosity is more than an impulse. It is an act of worship. Giving Tuesday can be a spark, but intentional stewardship is the flame that keeps burning throughout the year.Al summarizes biblical giving with a simple idea: “God gave us both a head and a heart—He didn't say pick one.”Wise stewardship holds both together:The heart expresses compassion, joy, and worship.The head evaluates impact, effectiveness, and alignment with God's purposes.Stewardship looks at the Kingdom outcomes we long to see and asks how we can best contribute to them. Some giving is planned, some spontaneous—but all of it can be intentional.Helping Donors Give With ExcellenceAt Excellence in Giving, Al and his team equip high-capacity givers—often those giving $1 million or more annually—to make well-informed, impactful decisions. They offer research, due diligence, and accountability that help donors shift from reactive to proactive giving.But these principles, Al emphasizes, are not reserved for the ultra-wealthy.“Everyone can do their own homework,” he says. “Everyone can ask good questions. Everyone can give intentionally.”Whether you're giving $50 or $50,000, evaluating ministries wisely matters. Al recommends starting with three core questions:What problem is the ministry trying to solve?What do they believe is the root cause of that problem?What measurable results have they seen?Healthy ministries provide clear reporting, measurable outcomes, and transparent leadership. They welcome questions and view accountability as part of discipleship.Key indicators to review include:Leadership stabilityDonor and staff retentionClear communicationTransparent financial practicesEvidence of life changeStrong ministries don't hide their results—they celebrate them.Red Flags: When to Think TwiceJust as there are markers of strong ministries, there are warning signs that should prompt caution:Vague vision without a clear planEmotional pressure or over-spiritualizing resultsLack of reporting or unwillingness to share outcomesOver-dependence on a single donorRepeated urgent appeals for fundsAl calls vague visions “ministry hallucinations”—dreams without blueprints. Just as you wouldn't build a house without plans, you shouldn't fund ministry without clarity.A Growing Trend: Collaborative GivingOne of the most exciting developments in philanthropy today is collaborative giving—donors pooling resources to make a larger, more strategic impact.Pooling resources:Helps ministries secure larger grantsReduces duplicationSaves ministries' valuable timeStrengthens unity within the body of Christ“This model lets donors and ministries accomplish something bigger together,” Al explains.No donor wants to micromanage, and no ministry seeks to be controlled. But accountability doesn't mean control—it means clarity.Al puts it this way: “Accountability is information given, not control taken.”Trust grows when ministries offer clear plans, measurable results, and honest reporting—what Al calls “a form of blessing” to donors.The Next Generation of GiversYounger donors give differently than their parents do. They are:More global in perspectiveMore results-orientedMore experiential—they want site visits and direct engagementMotivated by conviction rather than obligationPassionate about transparency and impactAl believes this next generation will reshape Christian generosity—mainly as significant wealth transfers occur in the coming decades.Al concludes with a powerful insight: there is a meaningful difference between being generous and being a steward.In the first century, a steward managed the household, finances, and fields on behalf of the master. The steward's job was simple: to know the heart of the master and act accordingly.Stewardship today means:Recognizing God owns it allSeeking His desires for His resourcesGiving with discernmentAiming to hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”Generosity is beautiful—but stewardship is a calling.Growing in Intentional GenerosityWhether you're giving on Giving Tuesday or cultivating lifelong generosity, the call is the same: give with joy, wisdom, and purpose.If you want to explore tools to help you give more strategically, you can learn more at ExcellenceInGiving.com.

Dive deep into the strategic mindset of level design, the shift from AAA development to indie studio entrepreneurship, and a radical new business model for creating innovative "Cocktail Games."Key Takeaways & Discussion PointsThe Reality of Level Design Beyond Architecture: Willem, a former level designer at Velan (Knockout City) and Zynga (Star Wars Hunters) , defines level design not as architecture, but as the execution of the game's intent and vision. You are the "great implementers" who build the playground for the core mechanics. Finding the Fun: Execution requires risk-taking. Good levels break the traditional norms—like the restrictive three-lane structure in some shooters —to find unexpected fun and keep the experience fresh. Inspiration Outside the Engine: To avoid creative blocks, step outside your comfort zone. Willem found inspiration for a level in Knockout City (Rooftop Rumble) by listening to Pink Floyd and used JFK assassination podcasts to conceptualize Darth Vader's Castle.

In this episode of Vast Voice, R. Kenner French and Liliana Falconer dive into the essentials of tax planning for entrepreneurs. Lily comes in unaware of the topic, adding spontaneity to the discussion, while Kenner emphasizes that this quick episode is designed to deliver powerful insights in under three minutes. Their goal: help business owners understand why tax planning should never be an afterthought.They begin by highlighting a common truth—most people don't prioritize taxes until the last moment. Lily points out that many individuals scramble to gather receipts, while Kenner explains that this reactive approach almost always leads to higher tax liabilities. Waiting until April 15 leaves taxpayers with little flexibility to make useful changes. Simply put, last-minute filing often results in writing a larger check to the IRS.Kenner stresses that true tax reduction happens throughout the year, not at the deadline. Planning as early as January 1 allows entrepreneurs to structure strategies, adjust cash flow, review employee numbers, and evaluate past liabilities to project forward. Quarterly meetings with a tax professional can significantly reduce tax burdens by catching opportunities proactively rather than retroactively.The conversation also contrasts two types of tax professionals: those who “drive using the rear-view mirror” and those who look ahead. Lily summarizes the lesson perfectly with an analogy, entrepreneurs should “rip off their rear-view mirrors” and focus on the road ahead. Proactive tax planning removes obstacles before they become problems and ensures a smoother, more predictable financial journey.Kenner closes by reinforcing that entrepreneurs need advisors who plan forward. If a tax provider can't help you strategize before tax season, it may be time to find one who can. VastSolutionsGroup.com aims to add value by guiding entrepreneurs toward better decisions year-round. With that, Kenner and Lily wrap up another concise yet impactful episode on financial clarity and smarter tax planning.Takeaways• Most people fail to prioritize taxes until the last minute.• Tax planning works best when started on January 1, not April 15.• Proactive planning can significantly lower tax liability.• Quarterly meetings with a tax professional provide major advantages.• Tax professionals who only “look backward” limit your savings potential.• VastSolutionsGroup.com focuses on projecting forward, not reviewing the past.• Early planning allows adjustments in cash flow and employee numbers.• Entrepreneurs should remove obstacles early through strategic planning.• A good tax advisor should guide you all year—not just during filing season.• Forward-focused tax strategy leads to smoother finances and less stress.Sound Bites• Rip off your rear-view mirrors and look ahead.• We don't look backward; we project forward.• If your tax pro can't save you early, you've got issues.Listen & Subscribe for More:

In episode 102 Theresa and Kathryn talk with Dr. Rhoda Bernard—singer, pianist, educator, and founding Managing Director of the Berklee Institute for Accessible Arts Education—to explore what truly accessible music education looks like in today's classrooms. Rhoda shares her journey through music teacher identity and her deep work in designing arts education programs that meaningfully include learners with disabilities. She breaks down common barriers students face—both visible and invisible—and offers powerful mindset shifts to help teachers move from deficit-based thinking to asset-based, student-centered instruction.Throughout the conversation, Rhoda provides practical, immediately usable strategies for increasing accessibility in any music setting, from general music to ensembles. She discusses the importance of multimodal teaching (especially visuals), anticipating barriers during planning, and “messing with the notation” to support diverse learners. Rhoda also illuminates how inclusive practices naturally foster student ownership, agency, and community—benefiting all musicians, not just those with disabilities. Her new book, Accessible Arts Education: Principles, Habits, and Strategies to Unleash Every Student's Creativity and Learning, offers an even deeper dive into these ideas and features first-person perspectives from artists with disabilities.

EdgeMode Inc (OTCID:EDGM) CEO Charlie Faulkner talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's transformation into a major European AI infrastructure developer following a 1.5GW portfolio deal in Spain. Faulkner outlined how the five-site acquisition, made in partnership with BlackBerry AIF, enables Edgemode to build scalable, ready-to-build AI data center projects, capitalising on Spain's land availability and renewable potential. “The ingredients are right. We had the right partners, the right location, the right demand to build a truly scalable project,” Faulkner said, referring to the energy and regulatory advantages that make Spain strategically attractive. Addressing a key bottleneck in AI infrastructure development, Faulkner highlighted Edgemode's unique hybrid energy architecture, combining gas, solar, and battery storage, to ensure grid independence and accelerate deployment timelines. He noted that power remains a limiting factor across Europe, and Edgemode's approach offers both scale and resilience. He explained that the business model focuses on delivering ‘ready-to-build' sites with secured land, power, and permits, which are monetized at roughly $1 million per megawatt. With a total potential value exceeding $1 billion, Faulkner confirmed that Edgemode aims to sell one or two of the Spanish sites within the next 3 to 6 months. Looking ahead, Faulkner noted that project milestones and initial client deals will support the company's planned US up-listing by late 2026.

Medicus Pharma CEO Dr Raza Bokhari joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has formally submitted an FDA Commissioner's National Priority Voucher (CNPV) application on behalf of its partner SkinJect, seeking expedited regulatory review for the Doxorubicin Microneedle Array (D-MNA) a novel, non-invasive treatment for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the skin. The submission includes a detailed Statement of Interest setting out how SkinJect aligns with the FDA's highest national priorities, including improved cancer-care accessibility, reduced treatment costs, and the urgent unmet needs in rare diseases such as Gorlin Syndrome, where no approved therapies currently exist. Dr. Bokhari explained that, if granted, the CNPV voucher would allow Medicus and SkinJect to participate in a commissioner-led FDA review process that dramatically reduces regulatory timelines. Under this program, a drug developer's final application could be evaluated in 1–2 months, compared to the traditional 10–12-month review cycle. Unlike the standard review pathway—where an application is routed through multiple FDA divisions—the new CNPV pilot brings together specialists from across the agency into a single cross-functional expert team, enabling faster, more coordinated decision-making. The FDA intends to award only a limited number of vouchers in the program's first year, specifically to products that directly support U.S. national health priorities. In addition to the time-saving benefits, qualifying therapies may also be eligible for accelerated approval, provided they meet applicable legal and clinical criteria. Medicus Pharma believes SkinJect is well positioned for inclusion. The Doxorubicin Microneedle Array offers a localized, cost-effective, and non-surgical alternative to current BCC treatments. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common cancer in the United States, with more than five million new cases annually, representing a substantial public-health burden. The company views the CNPV program as an important opportunity to advance a U.S.-developed cancer therapy that strengthens national goals of accessibility, safety, affordability, and quality of care. Dr. Bokhari emphasized that gaining entry into the pilot would help accelerate the delivery of a much-needed medical innovation to both general BCC patients and underserved rare-disease communities. #proactiveinvestors #nasdaq #mdcx #tsxv #mdcx #pharma #Biotech #CancerTreatment #ClinicalTrials #FDAApproval #SkinCancer #HealthcareInnovation #Investing #MedicalResearch #SkinCancer #BasalCellCarcinoma #BiotechNews #CancerResearch #GorlinSyndrome #BasalCellCarcinoma #CompassionateUse #FDAApproval #RareDiseaseTreatment #NoninvasiveTherapy #BiotechNews

Susie Harris, director of business development at Parkwalk Advisors, the fund management business of IP Group PLC (LSE:IPO), talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about how UK government policy changes are set to improve the funding landscape for deep tech companies and university spinouts. Harris welcomed the decision, announced in Chancellor Rachel Reeves' Autumn Budget statement, to double the limits for knowledge-intensive companies from £20 million to £40 million, describing it as a “pretty significant change” that will allow companies to scale further and remain rooted in the UK. She explained that deep tech businesses often require funding “well in excess of £20 million” just to reach revenue generation, and that the previous cap had created a funding gap between early-stage and scale-up investment. Harris highlighted that the move should help prevent UK-born innovations from being acquired too early: “The UK has become a bit of an incubator economy… many of those [companies are] acquired before the businesses really have an opportunity to scale up within the UK.” Harris also discussed the role of the British Business Bank, UK Research and Innovation, the British Growth Partnership, and the National Wealth Fund in catalysing investment across the growth curve. These bodies, she said, could work together to turn the UK from an incubator economy into a scale-up economy. She added that later-stage institutional capital, particularly from pension funds, would now be better positioned to support the global growth of domestic tech companies. “Some pretty significant capital is required at those later stages to enable deep tech companies to establish themselves as global businesses,” Harris noted. Looking ahead, Harris said Parkwalk Advisors and IP Group see “an extraordinary opportunity for these businesses to now be able to scale and succeed” with the added support of private and public capital at every stage.

Buccaneer Energy Plc (AIM:BUCE) CEO Paul Welch talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's strategic progress in East Texas, focusing on its recent acreage acquisition and plans for the Allar #1, Turner #1, and Fouke #4 wells. Welch highlighted that the newly acquired lease provides operational flexibility, allowing Buccaneer to sidetrack the Allar #1 well and support future enhanced oil recovery through waterflooding. He stated, “It provides us a lot of optionality... Do we start the waterflood now? Do we drill additional infill locations now?” Buccaneer plans to drill a 600-foot sidetrack at Allar #1, with expected costs of $125,000 to $150,000 gross, and net costs to the company around $50,000. Turner #1 could be brought back online within a month, potentially adding 10–30 barrels per day, depending on the outcome of minor surface infrastructure upgrades. Welch confirmed that discussions are advancing with the Texas Railroad Commission on forming an Enhanced Recovery Unit for Pine Mills, with plans to initiate the process in Q1 2026. He noted that implementing a waterflood could double recovery from 15–20% to around 50%. If all wells perform at their upper estimates, Buccaneer could achieve around 280 barrels per day gross, with about 90 barrels net to the company, supporting continued growth through 2026.

ImmuPharma PLC (AIM:IMM) CEO Tim McCarthy talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's ongoing discussions to secure a partnership for its lead asset, P140. McCarthy addressed investor concerns following a recent update that indicated the timing of a potential deal may now move into 2026. He explained that while the company had initially targeted the end of 2025 for deal completion, the timeline adjustment reflects strong ongoing engagement with multiple pharmaceutical companies—some of which include top ten global players. “We were all very pleasantly surprised [by] the amount of interest and positive interest from the pharma companies,” McCarthy stated. The discussions follow the September filing of a new patent for P140, which was based on a “groundbreaking discovery” made by the company's scientific team. McCarthy emphasised that the scientific and commercial value of P140 remains unchanged, and that the company is focused on finding the right partner and structure for shareholders. He also provided reassurance regarding ImmuPharma's financial position. Recent R&D tax credits, exercised warrants, and completion of a Lanstead share agreement have extended the company's cash runway well into Q4 2026. McCarthy confirmed there is “no intention at all” to raise new funds via the market. For more interviews like this, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

Resourcing Tomorrow divisional director Andrew Thake talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about final preparations for the upcoming Resourcing Tomorrow 2025 conference. The event will welcome over 2,100 C-suite attendees from more than 90 countries. Thake said the conference has expanded in recent years to include the full mining value chain, not just junior miners but also majors, mid-tiers, governments and investors. “We've made a real effort to attract the majors, the mid-tiers, the governments as well, and other players in the value chain,” he said. One notable feature will be a government roundtable at the London Stock Exchange, attended by representatives from 64 governments, including 27 at ministerial level. According to Thake, this will help set the stage for wider discussions around G7 critical minerals policy. This year's agenda includes sessions on Defence Critical Minerals, mining opportunities in Ukraine, and artificial intelligence in exploration and production. “We've got like Fleet Space running a leadership roundtable on that,” Thake noted when discussing AI use in mining.

Connecting Excellence Group Plc (XCE) CEO Scott Ellam talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's planned IPO on the Aquis Growth Market and its unique strategy combining executive recruitment with a Bitcoin treasury model. Ellam explained that XCE – Connecting Excellence Group – is the holding company for Spencer Riley, an international executive recruitment business. The company distinguishes itself by allocating surplus cash flows into Bitcoin since 2021, using it as a long-term treasury reserve. He highlighted that the planned fundraise of at least £1.5 million will primarily support additional Bitcoin purchases. “The vast majority of funds are directed towards buying Bitcoin,” Ellam stated. This strategy, he said, helps attract revenue-generating talent to the recruitment business, creating a compounding effect between operations and treasury. The company has assembled a board with deep expertise in digital assets, including Sam Roberts, Vijay Selvam, and advisor Richard Byworth. It also counts Adam Back as a key strategic investor. Despite market volatility, Ellam noted that operating revenues have doubled in some years. He emphasised that the business is sector-agnostic and regionally flexible, working with clients ranging from global logistics firms to the Big Four. Looking ahead, the company plans to support Bitcoin-native businesses with executive talent. Ellam said XCE has been retained by a Bitcoin investment fund and is in talks with US venture capital firms to place senior hires. He sees Bitcoin as a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity and views XCE as a potential gateway for institutional and retail investors looking to engage with the asset class via equities. “We are also at the forefront of the corporate Bitcoin adoption wave,” he said.

Oakmount & Partners Ltd managing director Glenn King spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss the company's forthcoming £500 million listed bond, a major initiative designed to help meet the UK's rapidly growing need for social housing and care home infrastructure. King explained that the bond was originally structured as a US$350 million instrument, but following extensive market assessment and increased sector demand, Oakmount restructured the vehicle into sterling and expanded its size. “We've increased the bond to £500 million GBP, dedicated exclusively to social housing and care homes, areas where demand is rising sharply and the supply gap continues to widen across the UK,” he said. A key feature of the bond is its 6% fixed coupon, supported by government-backed rental income and subsidy mechanisms, providing a resilient and predictable income stream. King also highlighted that investors will benefit from a profit-sharing mechanism, offering the potential for enhanced returns over the long term. Interest in the programme has been strong, with King noting that Oakmount is being presented with new acquisition and development opportunities almost daily. The company is now progressing through the final compliance, audit, and governance steps ahead of the bond's formal launch. During the interview, King outlined Oakmount's existing four-pronged property strategy, which spans: * UK park home communities * Social housing acquisitions * Care home developments and refurbishments * New build development projects in the UK and refurbishments in Dubai This diversified approach underpins the long-term stability and growth prospects of the company's property division. Looking ahead, King reaffirmed Oakmount's long-term expansion strategy, including plans for a future public listing, which remains firmly on track. The company is targeting a valuation milestone of £100 million within the next five years, with a potential listing expected within 18 to 24 months, subject to market conditions. “Our vision remains centred on building a stable, scalable, and socially impactful portfolio that delivers value for investors while addressing critical needs across the UK housing landscape,” King added.

Kodal Minerals PLC (AIM:KOD) CEO Bernard Aylward talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's successful first shipment of lithium concentrate from its Bougouni Project in Mali, marking a significant milestone for the company. Aylward confirmed that the shipment was completed faster than expected, noting the efficient transport and port-loading process. “The transport to the port actually was very fast as well. And we were very pleased that there were no hiccups here,” he said, highlighting the reliability of West Africa's trucking network. He explained that the $24 million from this initial shipment significantly strengthens Kodal's near-term cash position. The funds will support the ramp-up of stage two at Bougouni, continued drilling, and repayment of shareholder loans. The company is also focused on ensuring the Dense Media Separation (DMS) plant operates at optimal levels. With lithium prices improving, Aylward acknowledged the financial upside: “The better the price, the better it is for us and our shareholders and our joint venture.” He also emphasised the broader community impact, saying, “It's actually affecting the community. It's the positive effect on the people around us and Mali.” Looking ahead, Kodal plans to provide an update on mine site activities and expects to reach nameplate production levels following recent engineering enhancements and de-bottlenecking at the plant.

Standard Uranium Vice President of Exploration Sean Hillacre joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share that the company has received exploration permits for its Corvo Uranium Project, which is currently under a three-year earn-in option agreement with Aventis Energy. The approval clears the way for an ambitious field program that will include high-resolution geophysical surveys and the project's first-ever modern drill campaign, scheduled to begin in January 2026. Under the newly issued 18-month permit, the company plans to complete an extensive ground gravity survey over the property. The program will utilize a tight 50-metre by 200-metre grid and will cover more than 29 kilometres of conductive strike length across the project. More than 5,000 individual gravity stations will be measured as part of the survey. Hillacre explained that this work is designed to identify density anomalies that could represent hydrothermal alteration systems associated with uranium-fertile electromagnetic conductor trends, significantly refining drill targeting across the project. Following completion of the gravity survey, Standard Uranium plans to launch a skid-assisted diamond drilling program totaling approximately 3,000 metres during the winter 2026 field season. This campaign will mark the first drilling on the Corvo Project in more than four decades, representing a major milestone in the advancement of the property. Hillacre told Proactive that the drill program will focus on several high-priority targets, including the Manhattan Showing, which has never been drilled, along with multiple newly identified radioactive occurrences discovered through recent exploration work. The company believes these targets offer strong potential for uranium mineralization and could unlock significant new discoveries at Corvo. With permits now in hand and work programs defined, Standard Uranium is positioned to systematically advance the Corvo Project through modern exploration for the first time in a generation, as it seeks to build value through new uranium discoveries in a strengthening nuclear fuel market. #proactiveinvestors #standarduraniumltd #tsxv #stnd #otcqb #sttdf #mining #uranium #corvoproject #UraniumExploration #AthabascaBasin #DavidsonRiver #MiningInnovation #Geophysics #AmbientNoiseTomography #ResourceInvesting #FleetSpace #UraniumDiscovery #MiningNews

Healthcare attorney Sarah Covington joins Tracy to discuss why proactive legal engagement saves independent practice owners both time and money. Drawing from her experience in big law, health systems, and her own practice, Sarah reveals the compliance requirements most practice owners don't know about and shares practical strategies for managing the juggling act between patient care and business leadership. From financial modeling that takes the fear out of reimbursement cuts to simple tech solutions that improve both patient experience and team efficiency, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on building sustainable, thriving practices.  Click here for full show notes  See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Episode Highlights  Why practices that engage legal counsel regularly actually have lower overall legal spend than those who wait for emergencies  The ACA compliance requirement that affects practices accepting Medicare, Medicaid, or CHIP (and why you need quarterly compliance meetings)  How financial modeling transforms anxiety about reimbursement cuts into actionable business decisions  The power of time blocking to separate clinical work from business management—and why mixing these roles can cross ethical boundaries  Simple efficiency wins: How online patient scheduling reduces errors, improves cash flow, and creates better experiences for everyone  The "hat switching" challenge between clinician and entrepreneur mindsets  Why PCM (Principal Care Management) is often missed in specialist offices and how it can offset reimbursement cuts  Memorable Quotes  "The ones that I see really struggling—most of it is financial, and it's because there isn't that strong financial modeling in place."  "For a lot of practices that I work with, the ones that I see routinely engaging legal actually have lower overall legal spend than the ones that wait for issues."  "If you're feeling burned out, it's not you, it's the system."  "You want to continue providing that really great care for your patients, and you do that by having your doors open."  "Time block. Start time blocking and set aside: these are the hours where I work on business matters, these are the hours that I take care of patients."  Closing  Sarah Covington reminds us that independent practice owners are doing a fabulous job juggling way too many things in a system that creates unique constraints. The path forward isn't about working harder—it's about building the right support systems, making informed financial decisions, and protecting time for strategic thinking. Because when you take care of your business, you can continue taking care of your patients.  Guest Bio:  Sarah Covington's path to healthcare law began in an unexpected place—sitting in a children's hospital during her daughter's heart surgery. While halfway through her MBA, she observed the inefficiencies around her and decided to become part of the solution. After adding a healthcare management concentration to her degree (and ruling out medical school after realizing insides-on-the-outside weren't her thing), Sarah eventually pursued law school to build stronger skills for supporting founding teams.  Following a stint in Big Law that taught her lessons she uses daily, Sarah returned to her passion: healthcare innovation. Today, she works at the intersection of law and healthcare startups, helping founding teams navigate the complex regulatory landscape. Licensed in South Dakota and Arizona, Sarah is dedicated to figuring out the nooks and crannies of healthcare law to make the system a little better for the next generation.  Find Sarah:  Forward Slash/Health Website  LinkedIn  Connect With Us:  Be a Guest on the Show  Thriving Practice Community  Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy  Tracy's LinkedIn  Business LinkedIn Page

Bitwise Asset Management European head Bradley Duke talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the recent decline in Bitcoin's price and what it could mean for investors. Duke noted that while some view the fall from over $110,000 to $87,000 in November as a "disaster," others see it as a chance to accumulate at discounted levels. “It really is a sort of a Black Friday discount price for people who want to get involved,” he said. He explained that the downturn was triggered by a tweet from former President Donald Trump announcing a sharp tariff hike on China. Since crypto markets trade around the clock, Bitcoin bore the immediate brunt of the selloff while traditional markets were closed. This sparked a wave of profit-taking by long-term holders and panic selling by short-term investors, further accelerating the price decline. Despite this, Duke said institutional demand remains evident. Flows into Bitcoin ETPs continue, although somewhat tempered, and some large holders—or "whales"—have been buying the dip. The company has also engaged with investors who previously felt they had missed the opportunity to enter the market and now see more attractive entry points. Looking ahead, Duke pointed to seasonal patterns that could support Bitcoin in December. He noted historical spikes in Bitcoin ETP flows towards year-end, particularly from both European and US investors, which could help lift the price as the year closes.

MustGrow Biologics Corp Chief Executive Officer Corey Giasson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2025, highlighting a meaningful step forward in revenue generation and margin performance. During the quarter, MustGrow reported revenue of $0.8 million, marking a significant improvement from the same period last year, when the company recorded no revenue. Gross profit for the quarter totaled $180,555, resulting in a gross margin of 22.9%, up from 20.9% in the second quarter of 2025. Giasson attributed the sequential improvement in margins to a stronger mix of higher-margin product sales through the company's Canadian sales and distribution division, NexusBioAg. From a balance sheet perspective, MustGrow ended the quarter with $3.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, along with $1.9 million in inventory on hand. Giasson noted that the company remains disciplined in its capital allocation strategy, continuing to focus on investments that support revenue growth across both its NexusBioAg Canadian operations and its TerraSante biofertility product sales in the United States. Giasson also emphasized the seasonal nature of the company's business, pointing out that the third calendar quarter is typically the lowest revenue “shoulder season” for Canadian agriculture, as farmers are more focused on harvesting activities rather than purchasing crop input products. Despite this seasonal slowdown, he said the company continues to make progress in strengthening its commercial platform and positioning itself for improved sales performance in future quarters. #proactiveinvestors #mustgrowbiologicscorp #tsxv #mgro #otcqb #mgrof #mustardseed #TerraSante #Biofertility #Agriculture #BiologicalFarming #RegenerativeAg #SustainableFarming #NexusBioAg #AgTech #CropProtection #FarmingInnovation #CanadianFarming #adjuvantsplus

Valereum PLC (AQSE:VLRM) CEO Gary Cottle talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's newly announced $200 million royalty and streaming financing agreement with Quorum Global Photonics (QGP), a fund based in the Cayman Islands specialising in tokenisation and resource-based assets. Cottle explained that the deal involves a token swap rather than traditional debt financing, providing Valereum with a quarterly annuity stream of over $2 million. “We actually receive the coupon, not pay the coupon,” he said, describing the instrument as a perpetual call certificate that delivers consistent capital inflow to help grow and operate the business. He noted the partnership is expected to be long-term and strategic, with QGP potentially taking up to 49.9% ownership in Valereum within a year. This, he said, would lead to shareholder dilution but is part of a broader vision to bring in strategic investors aligned with Valereum's focus on tokenisation and AI in the streaming space. Cottle also revealed that Valereum is preparing for a US exchange listing, targeting Nasdaq or NYSE, with a timeline of six to twelve months, depending on revenue developments and acquisitions. Several potential acquisitions are in progress to build out the revenue base required for that listing.

New Era Energy & Digital CEO Will Gray joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a major expansion milestone for the company's flagship digital infrastructure development. Texas Critical Data Centers (TCDC)—the company's 50/50 joint venture with Sharon AI, Inc.—has finalized a definitive purchase and sale agreement to acquire an additional 203 contiguous acres near Odessa, Texas. This brings the total development footprint to 438 acres, significantly boosting the site's capacity to support a multi-phase, multi-gigawatt AI and high-performance computing (HPC) campus designed to scale well beyond 1 gigawatt. Gray explained that this enlarged footprint provides the long-term scalability required as global demand for AI compute accelerates and enterprises pursue increasingly GPU-intensive workloads. He added that the company is already in active commercial discussions with several prospective tenants seeking large-scale, power-dense environments with future-proof expansion capabilities—criteria that the expanded TCDC site is uniquely positioned to meet. The site also offers multiple strategic advantages that strengthen project economics and reduce development friction. Its proximity to high-capacity fiber routes, major intrastate natural-gas transmission lines, and existing CO₂ pipeline corridors provides opportunities for efficient power integration, advanced cooling solutions, and optionality for future carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) systems. These infrastructure synergies are expected to lower interconnection complexity, shorten development timelines, and enable TCDC to deploy sustainable, high-performance digital infrastructure at scale. Gray also detailed the company's ongoing geotechnical and engineering work, including drilling and civil studies essential for large-scale data center construction. He emphasized that New Era is shifting from a powered land model toward a powered shell development strategy—prioritizing long-term recurring revenue streams rather than short-term land sales. This strategic pivot reflects the company's broader vision to operate as a vertically integrated digital infrastructure developer. As part of that effort, TCDC is currently in exclusive discussions on a potential triple net lease with a major anchor tenant. While Gray noted that a formal announcement is unlikely in the fourth quarter, he said the company anticipates finalizing the agreement in early Q1. Operational milestones remain on schedule for 2026, including Phase 1 construction and initial tenant occupancy. To support execution, Gray said the company plans to make several C-suite hires and expand its development and engineering teams as planning progresses. #proactiveinvestors #neweraheliuminc #nasdaq #nuai #oil #gas #perimianbasin #HeliumProduction #NaturalGas #DataCenters #AIInfrastructure #PecosSlope #VerticalIntegration #EnergyMarkets #PermianBasin #Semiconductors #PowerGeneration #ProactiveInvestors

The cost of fraud for banks and credit unions continues to rise, with every $1 lost resulting in nearly $6 in total costs once compliance, operations, and customer trust are factored in. In this interview, Jeff Scott with Q2 will explore how banks can address this growing challenge by shifting from fragmented, reactive defenses to a proactive "Fraud Intelligence" approach. He will discuss how data-driven insights, automation, and integration can reduce inefficiencies, cut the true cost of fraud, and strengthen both protection and customer experience.

Text us a pool question!Welcome to an in-depth exploration of leak detection in pools, a topic that often goes unnoticed yet is crucial for any pool owner. In this blog post, we'll highlight key insights and practical tips from a recent podcast episode featuring industry experts Natalie Hood and Jared Medeiros. Let's dive in and unravel the myths surrounding leak detection and maintenance.Section 1: Understanding the Importance of Leak Detection  Leaks can lead to significant water loss and costly repairs if not addressed promptly. Natalie and Jared emphasized the importance of being proactive rather than reactive when it comes to leak detection. As Jared, a seasoned professional in the aquatics industry, points out, understanding the signs of leaks can save pool owners time, money, and headaches in the long run.Section 2: Common Myths About Pool Plaster  One common myth discussed in the podcast is that plaster lasts forever if maintained correctly. Jared clarified that while proper maintenance can extend the lifespan of plaster, it is not indestructible. For instance, between five to ten years, homeowners may start to notice scaling, staining, and roughness if the pool chemistry is neglected. Jared notes that many homeowners wait too long, often until the plaster is visibly damaged, before considering resurfacing or repairs. Section 3: Repairing Plaster Underwater  Another myth addressed is the belief that plaster cannot be repaired underwater. Jared debunked this notion, stating that underwater repairs are indeed possible and often necessary for minor damages. He explained that only in extreme cases, such as structural failures, would a complete drain be required. This insight is crucial for homeowners who may fear costly and disruptive repairs.Section 4: Differentiating Between Surface and Structural Issues  Natalie shared a personal anecdote about her father's experience with a pool leak, highlighting the challenge homeowners face in distinguishing between surface cracks and structural failures. Jared advised that if homeowners are losing significant amounts of water, it's likely a structural issue that needs immediate attention. In contrast, minor water loss might just require a quick repair rather than an extensive fix.Section 5: The Role of Water Chemistry  The podcast also touched on the importance of water chemistry in maintaining the integrity of pool surfaces. Both Natalie and Jared stress that consistent testing and balancing of pool chemicals are vital for prolonging the life of plaster. Neglecting water chemistry can lead to costly repairs and diminished aesthetics over time. Conclusion: Key Takeaways  As we wrap up this discussion on leak detection and pool maintenance, the key takeaways are clear:  1. Proactive leak detection can save you time and money. 2. Understanding the lifespan of plaster and recognizing signs of wear is crucial. 3. Repairing plaster underwater is often feasible, but structural issues require immediate attention. 4. Maintaining proper water chemistry is essential for the longevity of your pool surfaces.  Educating yourself about these aspects can empower you as a pool owner and ensure your investment remains beautiful and functional for years to come.Tags: pool maintenance, leak detection, plaster repairs, water chemistry, pool care tips, aquatics industry insights, pool Support the showThank you so much for listening!

Links https://www.racetoinnovation.net/ Race to Innovation: Unleashing the Power of Entrepreneurship for Everyone Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights In this episode, Roy discusses the intersection of innovation and church leadership, emphasizing how Latter-day Saints can embrace creativity and entrepreneurial spirit to build the kingdom of God. He outlines five principles of innovation that can empower individuals and leaders within the church. Key Insights Innovation in the Church: Innovation is rooted in the ongoing restoration of the gospel, with historical examples from church leaders like Joseph Smith and President Nelson demonstrating the importance of adapting and evolving. Recognizing Potential: Leaders should actively recognize and nurture the divine potential in all members, encouraging creativity and new ideas rather than dismissing them due to comfort with the status quo. Power of Enclaves: Supportive groups or enclaves foster innovation by providing emotional and practical support, enabling individuals to take risks and share their ideas without fear of failure. Enabling Ownership: Leaders should empower members to take ownership of their ideas, allowing them to lead initiatives rather than relying solely on institutional approval. Unique Perspectives: Embracing the diverse backgrounds and experiences of members can lead to innovative solutions that enrich the church community. Accelerating Change: Leaders should focus on how to accelerate innovative ideas, ensuring that they are not just reactive but proactive in creating positive change within their congregations. Leadership Applications Encouraging Initiative: Leaders can create an environment where members feel safe to propose new ideas, such as starting a community service project or a new class, by actively listening and providing support. Building Support Networks: Forming small groups or committees within the ward can help individuals collaborate on innovative projects, leveraging their unique skills and experiences to enhance church activities. Fostering a Culture of Innovation: By promoting a mindset of continuous improvement and openness to new ideas, leaders can inspire members to contribute creatively to the church's mission, ultimately strengthening the community and its outreach efforts. 00:03:34 - Framing Innovation in Church Leadership 00:05:25 - Innovation in the Context of the Restoration 00:07:51 - Challenges of Innovation in Large Organizations 00:09:36 - Autonomy in Local Church Leadership 00:11:25 - Encouraging Local Innovation 00:12:39 - The Role of Individual Members in Innovation 00:14:31 - Importance of Innovation in Church Leadership 00:16:06 - Proactive vs. Reactive Innovation 00:18:07 - Individual Innovation and Community Impact

Today, we're joined by Devi Parikh, co-founder and co-CEO of Yutori, to discuss browser use models and a future where we interact with the web through proactive, autonomous agents. We explore the technical challenges of creating reliable web agents, the advantages of visually-grounded models that operate on screenshots rather than the browser's more brittle document object model, or DOM, and why this counterintuitive choice has proven far more robust and generalizable for handling complex web interfaces. Devi also shares insights into Yutori's training pipeline, which has evolved from supervised fine-tuning to include rejection sampling and reinforcement learning.

Proactive treatment strategies can help extend your horse's competitive career and improve his overall well-being. During this Ask TheHorse Live Q&A, two experts will answer questions about equine performance problems and how veterinarians prevent and treat them.Brought to you by Arthramid. About the Experts: Beau Whitaker, DVM, CERP, grew up near Nashville, Tennessee on his family's farm, developing a love for horses and livestock. He obtained a degree in Animal Science from Oklahoma State University, in Stillwater, after which he trained quarter horses in Gainesville, Texas for a short time. Whitaker graduated from Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine, in College Station, in 2005. Whitaker moved to Salado, Texas, and joined Dr. T's Equine Clinic in 2007 (which later became Brazos Valley Equine Hospitals-Salado) where he established a busy lameness and sports medicine part of the clinic. He received his CERP in 2014 from the University of Tennessee, in Knoxville. Whitaker enjoys drawing, the outdoors, and spending time with his family when not working with horses.James D. Conway III, DVM, is the Director of Veterinary Professional Services with Contura Vet. Conway has been an industry veterinarian for the past eight years. Prior to his role in industry, he served as an associate veterinarian at a large regional referral lameness and rehab facility in north Texas.

Conway completed an internship at Equine Sports Medicine and Surgery in 2013 and upon completion started his own lameness and sports medicine practice in the panhandle of Texas and Oklahoma. Conway has been invited to speak at numerous universities in the U.S. and Canada and at the ACVS and AAEP national conferences.

The foiling of the Michigan Halloween plot is a sobering story. It's a case that shows how online radicalization remains a persistent threat, allowing extremist ideologies to inspire people to plan devastating acts of violence from their own homes. The investigation itself is a blueprint of modern counter-terrorism: a painstaking process of monitoring digital chats, conducting real-world surveillance, and coordinating across multiple agencies to dismantle a threat piece by piece.
