London BTC Company Ltd (LSE:BTC, OTCQB:VINZF) CEO Hewie Rattray talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's strategy of adding gold exploration to complement its Bitcoin-focused treasury and mining operations. Rattray explained how the company is positioning itself to navigate market uncertainty while maintaining its core exposure to Bitcoin. During the interview, Rattray outlined why London BTC sees gold as a strategic hedge. As he explained, the company remains committed to Bitcoin while also exploring opportunities that could generate new catalysts for investors. He noted that Bitcoin and gold share certain characteristics as alternative assets, saying the two can offer “asymmetric upside with each other.” A key focus of the discussion was the Chance Gold Mine in Western Australia, where the company recently conducted a site visit this week. Rattray highlighted the early-stage exploration potential in what he described as a “proven gold district.” The company's chair visited the site to inspect rock samples, which have now been sent to laboratories for analysis. The next milestone for the project will be the results from those assays. Rattray also discussed how London BTC plans to balance gold exploration with its existing Bitcoin operations. The company funded the early work on the project by selling a small portion of its Bitcoin holdings rather than issuing new equity. According to Rattray, this approach helped the company progress the project without diluting shareholders at current share price levels. Looking ahead, London BTC is pursuing a three-pronged strategy that includes gold exploration, Bitcoin holdings, and Bitcoin mining revenue. The company is also considering new gold prospects in the United States while continuing to expand its Bitcoin mining fleet as market conditions improve.

American Resources Corp Executive Vice President Mark LaVerghetta joined Steve Darling to announce that the company's subsidiary ReElement Technologies has expanded its pre-processing capabilities with the procurement of additional equipment and processing capacity at its Indiana facility. The new processing line significantly enhances the capabilities of Electrified Materials Corporation, enabling it to aggregate, process, and condition magnet materials as well as copper, aluminum, and ferrous metals recovered from end-of-life products and manufacturing scrap. These materials include rare earth element (REE) and other critical mineral feedstocks that will be conditioned into optimal forms for refining. Conditioned rare earth and critical mineral materials will then be supplied to ReElement Technologies for advanced separation, purification, and refining into ultra-high-purity rare earth oxides. Those refined materials are ultimately delivered to downstream manufacturing partners serving electrification, defense, and advanced manufacturing markets. LaVerghetta told Proactive the expansion comes in response to rising volumes of recycled feedstocks being received by EMCO as well as increasing market demand for domestically produced, high-purity rare earth oxides. The near-term expansion is expected to be supported through a private capital raise at the subsidiary level under Regulation D, along with previously announced recycling grant initiatives from the State of Indiana. The capital raise is also intended to support the continued scaling of EMCO's processing capacity ahead of a planned spin-off of Electrified Materials into a stand-alone publicly listed company on a national exchange. #proactiveinvestors #americanresourcescorporation #nasdaq #arec #AmericanResourcesCorp #ReElementTechnologies #ElectrifiedMaterials #MarkLaVerghetta #RareEarths #CriticalMinerals #Recycling #UrbanMining #SupplyChain #BatteryMaterials #CleanTech #AdvancedManufacturing #DefenseTech #CircularEconomy #IndianaManufacturing #RareEarthOxides #MiningInnovation

Summary Book a Strategy Call In this episode of Leadership on the Links, we sit down with two powerhouse voices from The Oaks Club: Holly Farrell, General Manager, and Brian D'Agostino, Greens Committee Chair, for a candid, behind-the-scenes look at what it truly takes to build a successful relationship between a golf course superintendent and the people they serve. From communication strategies to budget battles, hiring instincts to managing member expectations, this conversation is packed with real-world insight that every turf professional and club leader needs to hear. Holly brings 13 years of experience at The Oaks Club and a clear vision for what modern agronomy leadership looks like. Brian brings a rare dual perspective with 16 years on the board and greens committee at Ivanhoe Club in Chicago, and now leading a newly restructured Greens Committee at The Oaks. Together, they paint a vivid picture of what clubs are really looking for and what separates a good superintendent from a great one. What You'll Learn: Transparency and consistent communication are the foundation for trust between superintendents and their members, committees, and boards. Proactive communication — especially when things go sideways — prevents rumors and builds credibility faster than any technical achievement. The superintendent role has evolved into an executive-level position requiring strategic thinking, financial fluency, team leadership, and member-facing communication skills. Greens Committees serve as a critical conduit between the agronomy staff and the broader membership — and building that relationship is a strategic advantage for any superintendent. Setting realistic expectations tied to budget is the key to avoiding the single biggest gap at most clubs: resources not matching member expectations. In hiring, the differentiators aren't technical — they're trust, authenticity, clear communication, and the ability to connect with people at any level of expertise. Data-driven decision-making and capital planning are becoming non-negotiable expectations for top agronomy leaders. Team development and the ability to grow staff from within are long-term multipliers that great superintendents prioritize.

Nextech3D.ai CEO Evan Gappelberg joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the company has expanded its technology into new event market verticals while implementing a 20%–30% enterprise price increase across select offerings. Management believes these strategic moves will help drive revenue growth, improve operating efficiency, and support the company's path toward sustained profitability. Gappelberg explained that Nextech3D.ai operates a unified, AI-driven Events Operating System that integrates event registration, ticketing, interactive mapping, engagement analytics, and AI automation for in-person, virtual, and hybrid events. By broadening the platform's reach, the company believes it can significantly expand its total addressable market within the global events industry while leveraging its existing AI infrastructure. Historically, Nextech3D.ai's Map Dynamics (Map D) platform focused primarily on indoor trade shows and convention-center-based events. The company has now extended its AI-powered event technology platform into additional verticals including outdoor fairs and expos, music festivals, state-run events, and community-based gatherings. In parallel with this market expansion, Nextech3D.ai has implemented a 20%–30% enterprise price increase across select offerings. Management said the pricing adjustment reflects the increasing value delivered by its AI-enabled, enterprise-grade event platform. Because the company's technology infrastructure is already built and operating at scale, Nextech3D.ai expects the incremental revenue generated from the pricing changes to require minimal additional operating expense. While the company notes that no assurances can be provided, management believes the pricing strategy may contribute to improved operating performance and accelerate Nextech3D.ai's progress toward profitability as revenue continues to scale. #proactiveinvestors #nextech3d.al #otcqx #nexcf #cse #ntar #Eventdex #Nextech3Dai #EvanGappelberg #EventTechnology #AIEvents #EventTech #EventsOperatingSystem #MapDynamics #EnterpriseSaaS #EventInnovation #AIPlatform #HybridEvents #VirtualEvents #TradeShows #MusicFestivals #EventAutomation #TechGrowth #SaaSBusiness #EventIndustry

Quantum Blockchain Technologies PLC (AIM:QBT, FRA:BYA1) CEO Francesco Gardin talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest progress surrounding its patent portfolio and the potential impact of its ASIC Ultraboost technology on Bitcoin mining efficiency. During the interview, Gardin explained how patent applications can already be used by a company even before they are formally granted. He noted that once an invention is filed, companies can develop products around the technology and mark them as “patent pending,” which signals to competitors that copying the idea could lead to infringement if the patent is eventually granted. The discussion also focused on the importance of the United States market, which Gardin described as the largest market for Bitcoin mining. Quantum Blockchain Technologies currently has its ASIC Ultraboost patent application in the final stage of examination in the US, a key step in the patent approval process. Gardin highlighted that discussions with patent examiners over the wording of claims represent an important milestone, although approval is not guaranteed. Gardin outlined how ASIC chip manufacturers have historically improved performance by shrinking chip sizes to increasingly smaller nanometer scales. However, he pointed out that there are limits to how far this approach can go. QBT is instead targeting algorithmic improvements to the SHA-256 hashing process, which underpins Bitcoin mining. According to Gardin, the company's approach could deliver an efficiency improvement of between 8% and 12%, a potentially meaningful advantage in a highly competitive sector. He also noted that Quantum Blockchain Technologies continues to develop additional intellectual property through its team of researchers as part of its ongoing R&D activities.

Valereum PLC (AQSE:VLRM, FRA:6TJ, OTCQB:VLRMF) CEO Gary Cottle talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's decision to begin cross-trading on the OTCQB market in the United States, describing it as an important step toward a potential major US exchange listing. Cottle explained that expanding access to US investors is part of the company's broader strategy as it builds toward a possible Nasdaq or NYSE listing. The move gives Valereum greater visibility with American investors while the business continues to develop the scale and revenue base needed for a larger listing. During the interview, Cottle outlined the key milestones Valereum is working toward before pursuing a US exchange listing. These include completing the company's audit process, launching major new products, and ensuring the business generates sustainable revenues. A central focus is the development of V Gold, a gold-backed token being developed alongside strategic partner QGP, which operates in the commodities royalty and streaming sector. The initiative aims to tokenise the gold value chain, linking exploration, reserves and production with digital assets. Cottle highlighted the company's disciplined approach to growth and long-term listing ambitions, stating: “We always said that in order to get on Nasdaq or NYSE and stay there, you've got to have a sustainable business and that equals revenues.” The company is also working toward creating a liquid bond structure and expanding token-related revenue streams, which Cottle said could generate significant recurring income. Watch the full interview to hear Gary Cottle discuss Valereum's US expansion strategy, the upcoming V Gold token, and the roadmap toward a potential Nasdaq or NYSE listing.

Infrastructure Capital Advisors CIO Jay Hatfield talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about why listed preferred stocks can be attractive for income-focused investors, and how the current interest-rate backdrop may support the asset class. Hatfield explained that, in his view, preferreds tend to benefit during central bank cutting cycles, because investors can capture both coupon income and potential price appreciation back toward par. He outlined the fund's focus on US and North American-listed preferred securities, noting that being exchange-listed can mean tighter bid/ask spreads and easier access for investors. Hatfield also contrasted public issuers with private credit markets, saying the company prefers securities issued by public companies that report, protect credit quality, and typically have larger market caps. Hatfield discussed portfolio construction and risk management, emphasising credit selection, monitoring call features, and positioning across rate regimes (including using floating-rate exposure when rates are rising). He also shared his macro view, arguing that money supply dynamics can be an important signal for inflation and rates, and said: “We are forecasting inflation goes down to 2%. Rates drop… That's a great environment for preferred.” He added that the key risk is being wrong on inflation and rates, but highlighted how higher coupons can help offset market volatility over time.

Galliford Try Holdings PLC (LSE:GFRD, FRA:3WC) Chief Financial Officer Kris Hampson talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's strong half-year results, upgraded 2026 guidance, and a strategic acquisition in the passive fire protection market. The UK tier-one construction group reported its 11th consecutive period of half-year revenue and profit growth. Revenue rose 1.3% to nearly £935 million, while adjusted profit before tax increased more than 20% to £24.7 million, significantly ahead of revenue growth. Adjusted operating margin improved to 3.2%, up from 2.7% at the previous half year. Hampson said: “This is exactly the sort of story that we want to be telling,” highlighting disciplined project selection, improved commercial terms, and a growing contribution from higher-margin specialist services. The order book increased nearly 5% year-on-year to £4.1 billion, supported by long-term frameworks in public and regulated sectors. Average month-end cash rose 6.3% to nearly £190 million, enabling a dividend increase of almost 18% to approximately 6.5p. The company has no drawn debt and no pension liabilities. Galliford Try also upgraded expectations for FY26, with revenue and adjusted profit before tax now expected to be above the top end of market forecasts. Alongside organic investment, the company announced the acquisition of Nene Valley Fire & Acoustics Limited, strengthening its position in the regulation-led passive fire protection market. The acquisition is cash-funded and expected to be margin accretive from year one.

Medicus Pharma CEO Dr Raza Bokhari joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the company has released topline results from its Phase 2 clinical study (SKNJCT-003) evaluating the safety and efficacy of its Doxorubicin Microneedle Array (D-MNA) for the non-invasive treatment of basal cell carcinoma of the skin. The company believes the topline data are not only positive but “decision-grade,” meaning they could support an End-of-Phase 2 (EOP2) meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the first half of 2026 and help accelerate potential partnering discussions. Bokhari explained that the SKNJCT-003 clinical trial was designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study involving 90 patients diagnosed with nodular basal cell carcinoma. The trial compared two dose levels of the D-MNA treatment with a placebo microneedle array control to assess both safety and therapeutic effectiveness. According to the results, clearance rates improved between Day 29 and Day 57, suggesting continued biological activity of the treatment over time. The higher-dose 200 microgram cohort demonstrated the strongest response by Day 57, achieving a 73% clinical clearance rate and a 40% histological clearance rate. The reported findings reflect analysis of the study's primary and key secondary efficacy endpoints. Medicus Pharma noted that the final Clinical Study Report, which will include full safety analyses and additional procedural observations such as post-excisional biopsy site assessments, is still being compiled and is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026. While the final report remains in progress, the company said it does not anticipate any material changes to the efficacy findings reported in the topline results. #proactiveinvestors #nasdaq #mdcx #tsxv #mdcx #pharma #Biotech #CancerTreatment #ClinicalTrials #RazaBokhari #Biotech #ClinicalTrials #Phase2Trial #BasalCellCarcinoma #SkinCancer #Doxorubicin #MicroneedleArray #DrugDelivery #FDA #BiotechInnovation #MedicalResearch #CancerTreatment #HealthcareInnovation #Biopharma

Buccaneer Energy CEO Paul Welch joined Steve Darling from Proactive to confirm the company has closed a £350,000 fundraise to finance an adjacent producing-well acquisition in East Texas and accelerate its Organic Oil Recovery (OOR) programme. The raise included participation from institutional investor Premier Miton Group plc, alongside directors, management, and existing shareholders. Welch said proceeds will fund the acquisition of a 100% working interest in the Carlisle 1 well in the Fouke area of the Pine Mills field for US$425,000. The well is expected to add approximately 25 barrels of oil per day (bopd) net to Buccaneer's production. Following completion, the company anticipates total net output will increase to roughly 160 bopd, strengthening its position within the proposed Fouke waterflood unit. Buccaneer also plans to expand its OOR programme across Pine Mills, with services delivered by Hunting PLC. A pilot treatment in the field previously generated a 100% uplift in production within the treated zone, supporting management's confidence in broader implementation. The combined acquisition and recovery strategy is aimed at delivering near-term production growth while enhancing the company's longer-term development potential in East Texas. #proactiveinvestors #buccaneerenergy #aim #buce #oilandgas #PaulWelch #PremierMitonGroup #EastTexas #PineMillsField #FoukeWaterflood #Carlisle1 #OilProduction #OrganicOilRecovery #OOR #Waterflood #OnshoreEnergy #USOil #EnergyGrowth #OilAndGasInvesting #ProductionExpansion #HuntingPLC

Sintana Energy President Eytan Uliel joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the commencement of a major 3D seismic acquisition campaign on AREA OFF-1, offshore Uruguay. The AREA OFF-1 survey is being conducted by contractor Viridien using the BGP Prospector seismic vessel and will cover approximately 4,300 square kilometres. The acquisition program is designed to advance understanding of key offshore prospects and support future exploration decisions. Uliel explained that fieldwork will be carried out over two seasons: February to April 2026 and November 2026 to April 2027. Most of the seismic acquisition relevant to priority prospects is expected to be completed during the first season. Fast-track results from the initial campaign are anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026, with full pre-stack depth migration (PSDM) results expected in the second quarter of 2027. Sintana holds a 40% non-operated interest in AREA OFF-1 following a 2025 farm-out of a 60% operating stake to an affiliate of Chevron Corporation. Under the agreement, Sintana is carried for the full anticipated cost of the 3D seismic acquisition program.

Podcast Summary This episode of the How To Succeed Podcast features watch entrepreneur Alan Tsao of the Tsao Baltimore Watch Company, tracing his journey from childhood fascination to launching a successful watch brand. After an initial manufacturing failure and losing early partners, Alan persisted, refined designs, leveraged mentorship, and achieved a breakout 2017 Kickstarter that far surpassed its goal via low-cost, gamified marketing. Tsao built trust with global manufacturers through in-person visits, grew through proactive behaviors and strategic partnerships (National Bohemian, McCormick Old Bay Seasoning, the Baltimore Ravens, the Baltimore Orioles, and the University of Maryland Athletic Dept.), and is developing notable projects like a Francis Scott Key Memorial Bridge watch - using actual bridge steel - with profits donated to victims' families after the fatal bridge disaster in March, 2024. Join us, as Alan emphasizes attitude, learning from failure, community-building, and advises aspiring entrepreneurs to take action and, "Just Do It".   Chapter 1: Introduction to the How to Succeed Podcast 00:00:02 – 00:00:40 Dave Mattson frames the show's focus on the "success triangle" of attitudes, behaviors, and techniques. He sets expectations for peeling back how top performers think and act. Chapter 2: Meet the Guest and Topic 00:00:40 – 00:01:15 Host Chris McDonell welcomes guest Alan Tsao of Tsao Baltimore Watch Company and outlines the plan to explore Alan's entrepreneurial journey. Alan acknowledges the journey's challenges and rewards. Chapter 3: From Childhood Fascination to Passion Project 00:01:15 – 00:03:35 Alan traces his love of watches to a gift at age ten and explains his obsession with mechanical movements. As his career advanced, he built a 35–40 watch collection before deciding, with a nudge from his wife, to start designing his own watches. Chapter 4: Early Missteps and Losing Initial Partners 00:03:35 – 00:07:03 While working in property management, Alan looped in executives as early partners and sourced a manufacturer via a quick Google search. The first prototypes were low quality, scaring off his partners; he refunded them and bootstrapped forward, seeking advice from other microbrands to refine designs and supply chain. Chapter 5: Attitude—Learning From Failure and Pushing Forward 00:07:03 – 00:11:23 Prompted by Sandler's "attitude" lens, Alan reframes failure as learning rather than stopping. He emphasizes determination, confidence, and never giving up, aligning with the concept of "failing forward" to refine processes. Chapter 6: Breakthrough Kickstarter and Lean Marketing 00:11:23 – 00:14:58 After vastly improved prototypes, Alan launched a 2017 Kickstarter with a $45,000 goal, surpassing it in three hours and finishing at ~$115,000. He attributes traction to a $500–$800 gamified referral campaign that generated ~2,000 emails and ~25% conversion. Chapter 7: Global Sourcing and Trust-Building 00:15:13 – 00:17:57 Between 2017 and 2022, Alan traveled to Hong Kong and Switzerland to meet manufacturers. In-person relationships built trust, improved terms, and elevated product quality, strengthening credibility and operational know-how. Chapter 8: Going Full-Time, Investor Catalyst, and Hypergrowth 00:18:38 – 00:23:03 Weighing life choices post-Covid, Alan met an investor through a retail event who first commissioned 250 custom watches, then offered capital. After due diligence and valuation work, Alan accepted the deal, resigned, and the company grew 150–200% the following year. Chapter 9: Behavior—Showing Up Leads to Opportunity 00:23:03 – 00:23:53 Chris highlights the behavioral discipline of attending events and hustling while employed. Proactive behaviors, not chance, drove encounter-based breakthroughs and subsequent growth. Chapter 10: Strategic Partnerships—Natty Boh, Old Bay, Orioles, Ravens 00:23:53 – 00:27:47 Alan details collaborations beginning with National Bohemian via Instagram outreach and a fortuitous family contact leading to McCormick/Old Bay. Successive momentum earned projects with the Ravens and an official licensing partnership with the Orioles to cement local brand identity. Chapter 11: The Key Bridge Watch—Local Manufacturing and Giving Back 00:27:47 – 00:30:33 Tsao Baltimore is producing a watch using actual steel from the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge, with 85% of components made in Maryland. All profits support victims' families, while the project advances local manufacturing R&D. Chapter 12: Expanding into Education and Sports Memorabilia 00:30:21 – 00:34:27 As official timepiece of University of Maryland Athletics, Alan plans "class watch" programs for schools as an alternative to rings. He previews an Orioles initiative using player-worn jerseys as mystery watch dials with signed player cards, enabling community trading events. Chapter 13: Proudest Moments—First Sale and Family Validation 00:34:27 – 00:36:48 Alan recalls the emotional impact of the first full-price online sale. A second defining moment came when his young son said, "I'm proud of you, daddy," affirming the deeper family purpose behind the business. Chapter 14: Capabilities and Services at the New Workshop 00:36:48 – 00:37:24 The new facility houses certified watchmakers capable of servicing luxury brands, acting as a U.S. repair hub for jewelers and independent watch companies. Chapter 15: Advice to Aspiring Entrepreneurs 00:37:24 – end Drawing on his teaching at the University of Baltimore, Alan urges aspiring founders to start, learn by doing, and iterate through trial and error. He stresses overcoming comfort zones, accepting risk, and avoiding regret by taking the first step.

EPISODE SUMMARY In this episode of Adventures in Legal Tech, host Jared Correia tackles one of the most persistent frustrations in modern law practice: balancing cybersecurity requirements with everyday usability. Using a fictional law firm scenario, the discussion explores how attorneys can safeguard confidential client information without sacrificing productivity or creating unnecessary workflow friction. Guest Mike Maschke, President and CEO of Sensei Enterprises, breaks down practical cybersecurity strategies tailored for law firms, explaining why resistance to security tools often stems from misunderstanding rather than actual inconvenience. The conversation covers essential topics including multi-factor authentication, encrypted communication, compliance frameworks, AI governance, change management, and emerging cybersecurity trends shaping the legal industry. Rather than presenting cybersecurity as a technical burden, the episode reframes it as a strategic business function — one that protects firms, clients, and long-term operational stability.

https://teachhoops.com/ Injury prevention is the "invisible" component of a championship season. While most coaches focus on tactical execution, the most successful programs are those that can keep their best players on the floor. Prevention starts with the RAMP Protocol (Raise, Activate, Mobilize, Potentiate) during every warm-up. Instead of static stretching—which can actually decrease power output—you should utilize dynamic movements that mimic the lateral slides, jumping, and sprinting required in a game. By preparing the nervous system and the joints for the specific stresses of basketball, you significantly reduce the risk of non-contact injuries like ankle sprains and ACL tears. Effective management also requires a sophisticated approach to Load Management. Modern sports science emphasizes the Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio (ACWR) to identify when a player is in the "danger zone" for overuse injuries. If you suddenly spike a player's minutes or intensity after a layoff, their risk of injury increases exponentially. Ideally, your acute workload (this week) should remain within a specific range of your chronic workload (the average of the last four weeks): Staying within this "sweet spot" ensures that athletes are building resilience without reaching a point of structural failure. Monitoring "Internal Load" through subjective measures like RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) can provide a low-tech way to track this in any gym setting. When an injury does occur, the focus must shift to immediate and evidence-based management. While the "RICE" method was the standard for decades, modern practitioners often favor the PEACE & LOVE protocol, which emphasizes long-term tissue healing over short-term inflammation suppression. Finally, a coach's role in injury management is largely about Return-to-Play Communication. There is often a disconnect between a player's desire to "play through the pain" and their actual physical readiness. Establishing a clear, objective criteria for return—such as "100% pain-free during lateral cutting"—removes the emotion from the decision. By working closely with athletic trainers and parents, you protect the athlete's long-term health and your program's integrity, ensuring that when they return to the court, they are fully prepared to compete at their highest level.

This segment bursts out of the gate with the breaking Cowboys news out of Combine Week in Indianapolis. The gang unpacks everything: the release of Logan Wilson (“More famous for his podcast than his play…”), the front-office head‑scratchers, and why the team's latest decisions feel a little… Cowboys-ish.Then comes the big topic — the surprising signing of Javonte Williams, and KT is a little confused why the team raced to overpay a running back who “looked tired by the end of last season”

The Strategic Divide That Will Define the AI Native Age To watch it as a 3-min video To read it as a 1-min blog (coming soon) Have you ever felt that an AI-powered product was treating you as a data source rather than a human being worth serving? I recently walked away from an app I had relied on for years. It refused to let me access my own account unless I consented to handing over my personal data — no alternative, no negotiation. I deleted it without hesitation. This is not an isolated incident. It is a pattern. In the race to capitalize on AI, too many organizations have reduced customer experience to a data extraction opportunity. User satisfaction has become secondary — or abandoned entirely. The consequences will be severe. No amount of data harvested from a churned customer generates growth. Treating users as raw material is not just an ethical failure. It is a strategic one. What Separates Proactive AI Native Leaders From Reactive Ones Proactive AI Native Leadership Proactive leaders are architecting intelligent business models and AI ecosystems around a single defining question: What is the intended user journey, and does AI meaningfully elevate it? They invest in designing smarter, more human experiences — enabled by AI, not imposed by it. The result is stronger customer loyalty, greater brand equity, and sustainable ROI. Reactive AI Deployment Reactive organizations deploy AI tools in pursuit of speed, efficiency, or competitive pressure — without ever asking what experience they are actually creating for the human on the other side of the system. They optimize for capability. They neglect experience. And they will pay for it very dearly. AI Native Leadership is not about having the most advanced tools. It is about having the wisdom to design those tools around human dignity, trust, and purpose. Introducing AIXD — AI Experience Design Today, I am launching AIXD.world. AIXD stands for AI Experience Design. It is pro-human, not anti-AI.

How do you protect millions in revenue during your busiest hour of the year when your entire business depends on digital performance? At Perform 2026, I caught up with Alex Hibbitt, Engineering Director responsible for the customer platform at Storio Group, to unpack what happens when observability moves from an engineering afterthought to a board-level priority. Storio Group was formed from the merger of Photobox and Albelli, bringing together multiple brands and five separate e-commerce platforms into one unified customer journey. That consolidation created opportunity, but it also exposed risk, especially during peak trading from Black Friday through Black Sunday and into the Christmas rush. Alex shared what it really looks like when downtime is non-negotiable. At peak, Storio's platform can generate up to 1.5 million euros per hour. A single poorly timed incident is not simply a technical problem, it is a direct threat to revenue and customer trust. Before partnering with Dynatrace, the team was relying heavily on centralized logging, processing over a billion log lines a day and depending on engineers to manually interpret signals. It was reactive, labor intensive, and left too much to chance. What stood out for me was how cultural change led the transformation. Rather than imposing a new tool from the top down, Alex and his team built a maturity model engineers could relate to, created internal champions, and framed observability as risk management and business protection. The result was a reported 65 to 70 percent reduction in log costs, a 50 percent drop in mean time to detect overall, and up to 90 percent improvement for the most severe incidents. We also explored how unifying logs, metrics, and traces into a single AI-driven platform helped Storio move from reactive firefighting to proactive detection. During one Black Sunday alone, three major issues were identified early enough to avoid an estimated 4.5 million euros in potential impact. This conversation goes beyond tooling. It is about protecting customer experience, safeguarding revenue during peak demand, and building an engineering culture that embraces change. If your organization is wrestling with cloud costs, fragmented monitoring, or the pressure to deliver flawless digital performance under load, there are some powerful lessons here.

In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge a common misconception about success that keeps people stuck longer than they realize.

If you rent most of your acres, you're carrying more risk than you think. Shay Foulk and Ben Gordon break down why 2026 is a key moment for proactive farm planning, especially with rented land exposure, tighter competition, and major land transition ahead. They walk through the “10-year land test”, how to identify which rented acres are truly at risk, and why many operations get caught flat-footed without a 3-year capital plan. The conversation also covers equipment cost efficiency, scale and purchasing power, collaboration strategies, and how the best operators use downturns to position for long-term success.

Teachhoops.com⁠ https://teachhoops.com/ Injury prevention is the "invisible" component of a championship season. While most coaches focus on tactical execution, the most successful programs are those that can keep their best players on the floor. Prevention starts with the RAMP Protocol (Raise, Activate, Mobilize, Potentiate) during every warm-up. Instead of static stretching—which can actually decrease power output—you should utilize dynamic movements that mimic the lateral slides, jumping, and sprinting required in a game. By preparing the nervous system and the joints for the specific stresses of basketball, you significantly reduce the risk of non-contact injuries like ankle sprains and ACL tears. Effective management also requires a sophisticated approach to Load Management. Modern sports science emphasizes the Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio (ACWR) to identify when a player is in the "danger zone" for overuse injuries. If you suddenly spike a player's minutes or intensity after a layoff, their risk of injury increases exponentially. Ideally, your acute workload (this week) should remain within a specific range of your chronic workload (the average of the last four weeks): Staying within this "sweet spot" ensures that athletes are building resilience without reaching a point of structural failure. Monitoring "Internal Load" through subjective measures like RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) can provide a low-tech way to track this in any gym setting. When an injury does occur, the focus must shift to immediate and evidence-based management. While the "RICE" method was the standard for decades, modern practitioners often favor the PEACE & LOVE protocol, which emphasizes long-term tissue healing over short-term inflammation suppression. Finally, a coach's role in injury management is largely about Return-to-Play Communication. There is often a disconnect between a player's desire to "play through the pain" and their actual physical readiness. Establishing a clear, objective criteria for return—such as "100% pain-free during lateral cutting"—removes the emotion from the decision. By working closely with athletic trainers and parents, you protect the athlete's long-term health and your program's integrity, ensuring that when they return to the court, they are fully prepared to compete at their highest level.

Jason Berkowitz, a veteran restaurant operator and the founder of Arrow Up Training. Berkowitz shares his "origin story" rooted in a four-generation family of funeral directors, which taught him that true hospitality is about shifting one's ego to support others during their most vulnerable moments. The conversation explores the critical balance between technology and humanity, with Berkowitz arguing that tools like digital scheduling should be used to automate "crappy" tasks so leaders can spend more time on the floor engaging with their teams and guests. He also offers practical advice for independent owners, emphasizing that "organized people work in organized environments" and warning against the common pitfalls of opening a second location without proper systems and project management tools.10 Key Takeaways The Root of Hospitality: True hospitality is the ability to set aside your ego and provide the specific support a person needs in their current emotional state. The "Two Questions" Framework: Every employee needs clear answers to two questions: "What is my job?" and "How am I doing?". Organized Environments Attract Talent: High-quality, organized staff will only stay in environments that are equally organized and have clear structures. Minimal Effective Dose: Training should be designed as the "smallest, shortest way" to deliver necessary information effectively without overwhelming the staff. Work Like an Owner, But Remember You Aren't: Berkowitz advises employees to show maximum autonomy and dedication while remaining humble about who actually owns the business. Automate the "Crappy Stuff": Use technology for scheduling, maintenance, and compliance to free up managers for human-centric hospitality. Proactive vs. Reactive Leadership: Effective COOs and owners should intentionally block out "reactive" modes (like constant email) to focus on proactive training and systems building. The Second Location Sinkhole: Many owners fail when expanding because they don't use data-driven site selection or have a "critical path" project management tool. Strategic Leasing: When expanding, aim for "percentage rent leases" to turn landlords into partners who benefit when the restaurant succeeds. Experience Assets: View operational challenges and "acute stressors" not as problems, but as assets that make the business more "anti-fragile" and stronger over time.

Trust is essential in every dental practice. But blind trust? That's where financial leaks begin. In this episode, Dr. Len Tau sits down with certified fraud examiner Julie Rentz to uncover how embezzlement happens in dental offices, the red flags most doctors miss, and the simple systems that can prevent thousands in lost revenue. Embezzlement in dentistry is more common than most practice owners realize, and it rarely starts with obvious theft. It starts with blind trust, lack of oversight, and small process gaps that quietly grow over time. Julie Rentz, a Certified Fraud Examiner and forensic specialist, shares what she has seen inside dental practices and explains why small teams, divided attention, and undefined systems create vulnerability. She breaks down how adjustments become the "black hole" of dental accounting, how repeated "mistakes" can signal intentional fraud, and why refunds and credits are often overlooked risk areas. This episode shifts the focus from reacting to fraud to proactively preventing it. If you want stronger financial controls, cleaner systems, and more confidence in your numbers, this conversation is a must-listen.   What You'll Learn Why blind trust is the number one tool an embezzler uses Behavioral and operational red flags dentists often miss Where revenue cycle risks most commonly occur Why adjustments are the "black hole" of dental accounting How to tell the difference between a mistake and fraud Why reconciling PMS deposits to bank statements matters How refunds and credits can expose your practice Best practices for handling cash securely Why consistent oversight protects your revenue   Key Takeaways 00:56 Introduction and episode overview 03:05 Why dentistry is a target for embezzlement 07:48 Behavioral red flags and blind trust 09:38 Revenue cycle risk areas 13:47 The black hole of adjustments 15:00 Auditing and defining adjustments 17:04 How often to audit reports 18:38 When a mistake becomes fraud 20:54 Proactive fraud prevention strategies 22:00 Refunds and credits as hidden risks 25:10 Cash handling best practices 27:51 The power of consistent oversight 30:54 Lightning round Q&A 35:29 How to connect with Julie   Connect with Julie Email: julie@verifindforensicsolutions.com Phone: 983-208-4613 Website: VerifindForensicSolutions.com

Gone are the Little House on the Prairie days when we, as homeschool parents, didn't have to try and be a step ahead of the culture. Even when we try to create a safe and innocent childhood, we can't stick our heads in the sand. This is not an episode about fear. Rather, it's about encouraging you to be the first ones to reach your children. You GET to teach them about how to live in this world, but not be of it. And this is a great and awesome responsibility, which can be done along with maintaining their innocence. However, it can often feel easier at the time to abdicate or ignore this role. Why? Because it is hard and requires intention and perseverance . We won't be perfect at it, but our children will benefit from any and all ways that we are intentional.

Anna-Carin Svensson joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as they explore how Sweden's decision to punish buyers instead of victims has reshaped who feels safe coming forward — and how that same principle is now being applied to hold online exploitation accountable.Chapters(00:00) - Introduction: Sweden's Principle That Changed Everything (01:07) - The Equality Model: Why Sweden Criminalized Buyers, Not Sellers (07:37) - What 25 Years of Data Actually Shows (09:16) - When Exploitation Moves Online: Updating the Law for the Digital Age (14:37) - Why Multidisciplinary Collaboration Is Non-Negotiable (18:41) - The Gap Between Good Laws and Correct Application (25:02) - Prevention Starts Before the Warning Signs (29:51) - Hope, Humanity, and the Road Ahead Anna-Carin SvenssonAnna-Carin Svensson serves as Sweden's Ambassador to Combat Trafficking in Persons, representing Sweden in multilateral anti-trafficking efforts including at the United Nations. In this role, she has participated in high-level discussions related to the appraisal of the UN Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons, including the side event "Proactive by Design: Leveraging Multidisciplinary Collaboration and Digital Innovation to Prevent Human Trafficking."Previously, Svensson served as Director-General for International Affairs at the Swedish Ministry of Justice, where she led Swedish delegations in international human rights forums and oversaw Sweden's implementation of international legal obligations, including under the Convention against Torture. Across her career, she has consistently emphasized state responsibility, institutional accountability, cross-government coordination, and the importance of translating legislation into effective practice.Key PointsSweden's Sex Purchase Act, introduced in 1999, was a landmark legal shift that criminalized the buyer of sexual services rather than the seller, placing the state firmly on the side of the more vulnerable party in the transaction and signaling that prostitution is a harm to all of society — not just to the individual.A 2010 official evaluation of the law found measurable results: street prostitution decreased, criminal networks were deterred from establishing trafficking operations in Sweden, and public attitudes shifted significantly — evidence that law can have both a direct and a normative effect.As exploitation moved online, Sweden updated its legislation in 2025 to extend the same principle into the digital space, criminalizing the purchase of live, on-demand sexual acts performed remotely — because if something is illegal offline, it must be illegal online.Many victims who had been coerced into performing live cam shows said the new law would have made it easier for them to refuse, illustrating how legal frameworks can shift power back to the exploited person even before a crime is prosecuted.Correct application of the law matters as much as the law itself — broad training across all professions, not just specialized units, is essential so that any first responder can recognize a victim, give an appropriate initial response, and connect them to the right support.Multidisciplinary collaboration is not optional: criminal justice, social services, civil society, health professionals, schools, and international partners must all work in concert, because victims often feel safer disclosing to a social worker or nonprofit than to law enforcement, and that trust must be honored.Digital literacy and healthy relationship education must begin before exploitation happens — teaching young people to recognize manipulation, loverboy tactics, and online red flags is one of the most important prevention investments a society can make.Hope lies in the growing global community of organizations and individuals bringing creative, collaborative solutions to every aspect of this problem — and in the simple recognition that for every challenge, there are many possible answers.ResourcesEnding Human Trafficking PodcastGlobal Center for Women and Justice (GCWJ)UN Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons – 2025 AppraisalSweden's Sex Purchase Act – Swedish Gender Equality AgencySweden's 2025 Online Sexual Acts Legislation – Library of Congress SummaryTranscriptClick here to view the episode transcript.

A thoughtful and educational conversation with Dr. Nab explores tremors, brain health, and the powerful connection between the gut and the nervous system. The discussion reframes symptoms as meaningful signals rather than issues to ignore, unpacking different types of tremors and potential root causes such as nutrient deficiencies, toxins, stress, and gut imbalances. With a functional medicine lens, the episode highlights the importance of early awareness, foundational lifestyle habits, and proactive brain care—showing how small, informed changes can support long-term neurological health and overall vitality.  Key Takeaways:   Symptoms like tremors are signals from the body, inviting us to look deeper rather than accept them as inevitable.  Brain health is closely tied to gut integrity, nutrient status, and the body's ability to manage toxins.  Foundational habits—movement, hydration, and whole foods—play a critical role in protecting cognitive health.  Stress and nervous system overload can amplify underlying imbalances over time.  Proactive testing and early awareness help put the odds in favor of long-term brain resilience and vitality.  About Dr. Georgia Nab:  Dr. Georgia Nab entered the chiropractic industry in 1992 by owning a chiropractic clinic in Wichita, Kansas. From 2012 through 2017, she joined a manufacturing facility in Wisconsin to provide chiropractic care, nutritional counseling, and educational training to the employees at the company's corporate headquarters. While there, she authored her book called 1 Degree of Change, in addition to numerous other publications.   In 2015, she graduated with her Masters in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine degree. She is currently an adjunct professor at the University of Western States for their masters program. Dr. Nab is a Certified Nutrition Specialist from the Board for Nutrition Specialist and works with Affiliated Monitors, an independent monitoring company for professionals.  Connect with Dr. Georgia Nab at:  https://www.authenticdoc.life/   Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at:  https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco  Thanks for listening!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!
