Some of the most effective solutions for improving birth outcomes worldwide are rooted in relationships, not technology. In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker speaks with midwife Stephanie Marriott of the International Confederation of Midwives about the global impact of midwifery care. She outlines what defines a midwifery model of care, why continuity of midwife-led care matters for both outcomes and experiences, and how trust and relationship-based care can influence Cesarean rates, trauma-informed care, and access to services. Stephanie draws on her work across the U.K., Asia, and Africa to share how countries such as Indonesia and Bangladesh are strengthening midwifery education, regulation, and deployment, and what that means for maternal and newborn health. Together, Stephanie and Rebecca also discuss the essential role midwives play in humanitarian and disaster settings, the global shortage of midwives, and the growing call for One Million More midwives worldwide.

In this solo episode, Michael Blank shares the exact moment he pivoted from flipping houses and single-family rentals into multifamily investing—and why it became the single best financial decision of his life. He breaks down the math, the scalability, the risk profile, and the long-term wealth-building power of apartment syndications compared to other strategies like flips, short-term rentals, and pad splits. If you're wondering how to truly scale real estate without burning out, this episode lays it out step by step.Key Takeaways Single-family investing doesn't scale efficiently — replacing income requires dozens of properties and constant effort.Multifamily syndications create multiple profit centers: acquisition fees, asset management fees, cash flow, and equity at sale.You get paid when you buy in multifamily—something no other strategy offers at scale.Professional property management makes multifamily more passive, allowing faster growth with less day-to-day involvement.Risk is reduced through diversification — 100 tenants are safer than one.Long-term housing shortages and declining new construction permits support strong multifamily fundamentals.Connect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTubeTikTokResourcesTheFreedomPodcast.com Access the #1 FREE Apartment Investing Course (Apartments 101)Schedule a Free Strategy Session with Michael's Team of AdvisorsExplore Michael's Mentoring ProgramJoin the Nighthawk Equity Investor ClubReview the Podcast on Apple PodcastsSyndicated Deal AnalyzerGet the Book, Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing by Michael BlankFor full episode show notes visit: https://themichaelblank.com/podcasts/session513/

Episode 178. In this episode, Kristen is joined by one of her favorite producers — Emmy Award–winning showrunner Lyndsey Burr — the powerhouse behind Queer Eye, former producer on Vanderpump Rules, and a longtime reality TV insider whose career spans from production assistant to talent supervisor to showrunner. Lyndsey opens up about what it really means to be a reality TV producer — including the role she plays in cultivating trust with cast members and walking them through some of their most vulnerable, difficult moments on camera. Kristen and Lyndsey revisit their time on VPR and unpack the delicate balance between producing great television and protecting real human emotions. Before the Emmys and showrunning credits, Lyndsey worked as a self-described “professional babysitter” on America's Next Top Model, where she started as a production assistant and rose to talent supervisor. She shares behind-the-scenes details of what actually happened when contestants were eliminated, what life in the hotels was like during filming, and whether she still keeps in touch with anyone from the show. Plus — yes — we get into the iconic “we were rooting for you” moment and her firsthand take from being there. The conversation also dives into her work on Queer Eye — from the casting process and the most emotionally difficult episode to shoot this past season, to why the beloved series is coming to an end. If you've ever wondered what happens when the cameras stop rolling… this episode is for you. Sponsors: For a limited time, our listeners get 15% off at Arey by using code KRISTEN at Arey.com.

Episode 1977: Isaac Morehouse dismantles the common belief that employers simply "want degrees," arguing that this question misunderstands how hiring actually works. He explains why averaging employer preferences leads people astray and shows that tailoring your skills to specific opportunities beats chasing generic credentials. By shifting the focus from pleasing a monolithic job market to creating unique value, he offers a more strategic and empowering path to building your career. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://isaacmorehouse.com/2018/03/29/what-do-employers-want-is-a-stupid-question/ Quotes to ponder: "Take the average of a giant aggregate of data from individual employers and say that's what "employers" want." "You aren't trying to impress "employers" as an abstract collective. You are trying to win an opportunity with one specific employer." "Whether degrees or anything else, don't ask "What do employers want". Focus on what specific employers want for specific opportunities, gain that, and prove it through demonstration, not empty words and statuses on a resume."

In this insightful interview with Olly, she explains how this bombshell has impacted upon the daily practicalities of her life, why she doesn't feel welcome in our ‘vertical culture', and how well-meaning members of the public have repeatedly shamed her for committing the cardinal sin of... lying down.

John Corcoran is a recovering attorney, an author, and a former White House writer and speechwriter to the Governor of California. Throughout his career, John has worked in Hollywood, the heart of Silicon Valley, and run his boutique law firm in the San Francisco Bay Area, catering to small business owners and entrepreneurs. Since 2012, John has been the host of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast, where he has interviewed hundreds of CEOs, founders, authors, and entrepreneurs, including Peter Diamandis, Adam Grant, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Marie Forleo. John is also the Co-founder of Rise25, a company that connects B2B businesses with their ideal clients, referral partners, and strategic partners. They help their clients generate ROI through their done-for-you podcast service. In this episode… A podcast can open doors, spark relationships, and quietly become your most powerful business development tool. But in a world where anyone can hit record on their phone, what actually separates a show that drives growth from one that fades into the noise? According to John Corcoran, the difference comes down to intention and execution. Professional production is not about fancy studios or overproduced edits, but about clean audio, thoughtful structure, strong branding, and a strategy that supports relationship-building and thought leadership. When you treat your podcast as a core part of your business development strategy rather than a side project, it becomes a powerful engine for networking, credibility, and long-term growth. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as Chad Franzen of Rise25 interviews John Corcoran about mastering podcast production for business growth. They discuss what separates professional podcasts from DIY efforts, how video has become essential for reach and SEO, and why over-editing can actually hurt authenticity. John also shares advice on leveraging thought leadership and short-form video to expand your impact.

In this episode of the Guns Podcast US, hosts Brent Wheat and Roy Huntington dive deep into the often misunderstood world of professional gunsmithing. They tackle the common misconceptions found on internet forums, specifically the idea that specialized tasks like "drilling and tapping" or performing an action job are simple DIY projects. Roy, with his extensive experience as a "practicing unofficial gunsmith," explains why professional tooling, jigs, and expertise justify the costs that often shock gun owners. The conversation moves to the dangers of cutting corners, quite literally, when it comes to clipping springs or installing drop-in kits without proper fitting. Roy shares horror stories of "kitchen table" gunsmithing, including a Colt Python that was rendered unsafe by an amateur trigger job. They discuss the critical difference between a simple spring swap and a true action job that involves timing, polishing, and safety checks. Finally, the duo discusses the value of professional deep cleaning and safety inspections, even for "bag guns" that haven't been shot in years. They also manage expectations regarding wait times for top-tier custom smiths like Hamilton Bowen. Whether you are looking to mount a red dot on your 1911 or restore a family heirloom, this episode serves as a guide on why the "buy once, cry once" philosophy is essential for firearm maintenance. Key Takeaways • "Drill and tap" is not a simple garage project; it requires precision milling machines, centering tools, and carbide tooling to be done correctly. • A spring kit is not a substitute for a professional action job; simply lightening springs without polishing surfaces can lead to misfires and gritty actions. • Professional gun cleaning services are valuable because they often include a critical safety inspection that can identify dangerous wear or missing parts. • Cutting coils off a spring changes its dynamics and reliability; professional gunsmiths use engineered springs or properly reduce diameter rather than length. • Low-cost gunsmithing (e.g., a $50 action job) is often a red flag that can result in ruined parts and more expensive repairs later. • Top-tier gunsmiths often have long wait times (months or years) because they are in high demand; patience is required for custom work. • Attempting DIY repairs on high-value or out-of-production guns runs a high risk of destroying irreplaceable parts. -- The Guns Podcast is presented by TangoDown.

ML engineering demand remains high with a 3.2 to 1 job-to-candidate ratio, but entry-level hiring is collapsing as AI automates routine programming and data tasks. Career longevity requires shifting from model training to production operations, deep domain expertise, and mastering AI-augmented workflows before standard implementation becomes a commodity. Links Notes and resources at ocdevel.com/mlg/mla-30 Try a walking desk - stay healthy & sharp while you learn & code Generate a podcast - use my voice to listen to any AI generated content you want Market Data and Displacement ML engineering demand rose 89% in early 2025. Median salary is $187,500, with senior roles reaching $550,000. There are 3.2 open jobs for every qualified candidate. AI-exposed roles for workers aged 22 to 25 declined 13 to 16%, while workers over 30 saw 6 to 12% growth. Professional service job openings dropped 20% year-over-year by January 2025. Microsoft cut 15,000 roles, targeting software engineers, and 30% of its code is now AI-generated. Salesforce reduced support headcount from 9,000 to 5,000 after AI handled 30 to 50% of its workload. Sector Comparisons Creative: Chinese illustrator jobs fell 70% in one year. AI increased output from 1 to 40 scenes per day, crashing commission rates by 90%. Trades: US construction lacks 1.7 million workers. Licensing takes 5 years, and the career fatality risk is 1 in 200. High suicide rates (56 per 100,000) and emerging robotics like the $5,900 Unitree R1 indicate a 10 to 15 year window before automation. Orchestration: Prompt engineering roles paying $375,000 became nearly obsolete in 24 months. Claude Code solves 72% of GitHub issues in under eight minutes. Technical Specialization Priorities Model Ops: Move from training to deployment using vLLM or TensorRT. Set up drift detection and monitoring via MLflow or Weights & Biases. Evaluation: Use DeepEval or RAGAS to test for hallucinations, PII leaks, and adversarial robustness. Agentic Workflows: Build multi-step systems with LangGraph or CrewAI. Include human-in-the-loop checkpoints and observability. Optimization: Focus on quantization and distillation for on-device, air-gapped deployment. Domain Expertise: 57.7% of ML postings prefer specialists in healthcare, finance, or climate over generalists. Industry Perspectives Accelerationists (Amodei, Altman): Predict major disruption within 1 to 5 years. Skeptics (LeCun, Marcus): Argue LLMs lack causal reasoning, extending the adoption timeline to 10 to 15 years. Pragmatists (Andrew Ng): Argue that as code gets cheap, the bottleneck shifts from implementation to specification.

In this three-part solo series, Nik recounts a challenging trip to Boston Logan International after being away from one of the country's most complex and congested airports for over a year.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.A rare economic indicator just flashed a warning… but does that actually mean the stock market is about to crash?In this video, we break down a viral market prediction claiming a powerful economic signal has collapsed to levels not seen since before the 2000 dot-com bubble and the 2008 financial crisis. The indicator compares the Leading Economic Index to the Coincident Economic Index. In simple terms, it measures where the economy is expected to go versus where it is right now.Historically, when this ratio falls off a cliff, trouble tends to follow. But here's the big question. If this signal has been in free fall for years… why is the stock market still climbing?Instead of buying into fear-driven headlines, this video challenges the narrative. Are we looking at a legitimate recession warning, or another doom cycle designed to grab attention?Here's what gets covered:✅ What the Leading vs Coincident Index actually measures✅ Why fear spreads so fast in financial media✅ What SPY trend signals are showing right now✅ How sector breadth reveals underlying market strength✅ When it makes sense to sit in cash instead of forcing tradesUsing OVTLYR's trading framework, the focus shifts from emotional reactions to structured decision-making. Bullish trends, bearish signals, sideways markets, fear and greed readings, and sector rotation all matter. If the market is not aligned, aggressive positioning can do more harm than good.This is about staying market-aware without panic selling. It is about understanding risk, timing, and capital preservation in volatile conditions.If you care about stock market analysis, recession indicators, SPY breakdowns, ETF strategy, and disciplined trading systems, this conversation will sharpen how you interpret economic headlines.Subscribe to OVTLYR for disciplined trading strategies that actually make sense.

What happens when the life you built… disappears overnight?In this deeply honest and moving conversation, host Teresa Reiniger sits down with author Patti Sauer to talk about the kind of grief we don't often name—the loss of identity that comes with chronic illness.After nearly two decades as a middle school teacher, Patti was forced to step away from the career she loved due to Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)—a rare and debilitating neurological condition known as one of the most painful diseases in the world. What followed was not just physical suffering, but a profound identity crisis. Who are you when the titles fall away? Through therapy, journaling, and unexpected encouragement, Patti rediscovered a long-buried part of herself: the writer. Her poetry collection, Brave Bird, was born from grief—but grew into something much bigger.This episode is for anyone navigating chronic illness, career loss, depression, identity shifts, or the quiet grief of becoming someone new.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Alison Vaughn. International speaker, author, and CEO/founder of Jackets for Jobs, a Detroit-based nonprofit that, for over 26 years, has provided professional attire and career training to more than 40,000 job seekers. Rushion McDonald leads a deep-dive conversation into her origin story, faith-driven entrepreneurship, struggles, workforce development, women’s empowerment, and the profound human stories behind her mission. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Inspire entrepreneurs and community leaders By showing how faith, persistence, and purpose can build a 26‑year nonprofit that changes lives. 2. Highlight the importance of appearance and confidence in employment Vaughn explains how professional attire boosts self‑esteem and job‑seeker success. 3. Showcase the impact of Jackets for Jobs and encourage public support She explains donation needs, especially professional clothing and plus‑size attire. 4. Educate listeners about workforce development and women’s empowerment She outlines common barriers job seekers face and how proper support transforms families and communities. Key Takeaways 1. The “Catch‑22” That Sparked Her Mission Job seekers often lack professional clothing. Without clothing, they can’t get interviews; without interviews, they can’t get jobs. Jackets for Jobs was built to break that cycle. 2. Faith Was the Foundation Vaughn repeatedly attributes her longevity to divine guidance—leaving a career at United Airlines to follow a vision she didn’t fully understand at the time.“I stepped out on faith… God gave me the vision. 3. Longevity: 26 Years in a Tough Sector With most small businesses lasting 5–10 years, surviving 26 years—especially as a nonprofit—is extraordinary.Over 40,000 job seekers have been served. 4.

Gestational diabetes (GDM) is one of the most common reasons families are advised to plan for an early birth. But what does the evidence actually say about induction for GDM? Does it lower the risk of Cesarean? Prevent big babies? Reduce stillbirth? Or does the timing matter more than the induction itself? In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker and Dr. Morgan Richardson Cayama walk through the updated research on induction for gestational diabetes. You'll learn how outcomes differ before 39 weeks, between 39–40 weeks, and after 41 weeks, and why blood sugar control (diet-controlled versus medication-controlled GDM) can change the conversation entirely. They also review what major professional organizations recommend and discuss the role of extra fetal monitoring in the third trimester. Most importantly, they talk about informed consent, respectful maternity care, and how to navigate conversations if you're feeling pressure to schedule an induction.

The property rules have changed… again. What worked five years ago won't work the same way in 2026. The winners won't be the loudest, the fastest, or the most aggressive – they'll be the most strategic. So today, Brett Warren and I unpack exactly what's changed, what still works, and how smart investors can position themselves to win in the next phase of the property cycle.   We discuss the evolving landscape of property investment, emphasising the need for strategic planning and adaptability in response to changing market conditions.   We explore the impact of interest rates, economic factors, and the importance of quality assets in achieving long-term growth.   The conversation highlights the significance of mindset and emotional decision-making in investing, as well as the value of professional advice in navigating the complexities of the property market.   Takeaways   Most long-term capital growth comes from land, not buildings. The property market is changing; investors must adapt their strategies. Quality assets will outperform average properties in the long run. Interest rates and economic factors significantly impact property investment decisions. Investors should focus on long-term planning rather than short-term gains. Emotional decision-making can lead to costly mistakes in property investment. Professional advice is crucial in today's complex investment environment. Successful investors are patient and selective in their property choices. Understanding market cycles is essential for making informed investment decisions. The current environment presents opportunities for those who are prepared.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. ·          Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report.   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at: www.PodcastBonus.com.au.   Get the team at Metropole to create a Strategic Wealth plan for your needs.

his is How Options Trading YouTubers Fool You - Professional Investor ReactsDescription: Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.If you've ever been told that selling options is “easy money” or “safe passive income,” this is the wake-up call.After 17 years of trading and competing in the U.S. Investing Championship, ranked #26 in the division, there's a hard truth that needs to be said. The dream of steady income from selling puts and running the wheel strategy sounds amazing. High win rates. Smooth equity curve. Premium rolling in month after month.Until it doesn't.This breakdown dives into how options trading influencers sell the illusion, why an 86% win rate can still leave you down $200,000, and how strategies like covered calls and the wheel can quietly destroy months of gains in a single brutal move.Here's what really gets exposed:✅ Why high win rate does NOT equal real trading edge✅ The dangerous math behind negative expectancy✅ How “fat tail risk” wipes out small consistent gains✅ Why the wheel strategy can trap you in massive drawdowns✅ The psychological addiction of selling premium✅ When selling options actually makes senseThe insurance analogy says it all. You collect small premiums most of the time. Then one hurricane hits and wipes out years of income. That is not passive income. That is asymmetric risk hiding behind smooth PNL.Covered calls? Sounds smart. Until the stock explodes and your upside gets capped. Cash secured puts? Sounds conservative. Until the stock gaps down 40% and you're stuck owning it in a stage four downtrend.This isn't anti options. Options are powerful. But they are not a cheat code. Not safe income. Not a free lunch.If trading matters to you, especially if you're building skill through OVTLYR or studying real performance in verified competitions, this is a conversation worth having.Watch, think critically, and decide where your true edge is.Subscribe to OVTLYR for disciplined trading strategies that actually make sense.

Don't shy away from the junkyard when it's time to find a part.  Whether you're a hardcore salvage builder looking for a door skin or it's your first time and you just need a head rest, outfits like Best Foreign Used Parts are ideal - lots of stock, lots of knowledge, and lots of tetanus shots.  Hostus Maximus Justin Fort and Ryan The TBD may be a little biased (It's in there!), but there's a lot to learn from this episode: what parts move fastest, the cars that junkyard shoppers like the most (and where), what to do first when you're heading to the junkyard, and a little bit about this business as a whole.  There's also Dodge R/Ts (Dakota and Caravan), Toyotas, Panteras, Typhoons, Cyclones, Renaults, an MG and a Volvo 240, cars with guns, 'fridges, violins and money, and so many Subarus.  The master of this demonstration of disassembly at Best Parts (Don), also has excellent stories from four decades in the business - crazy finds in the 'yard, what goes on after the gates close, airbag "testing", walking catalytics, hail (No!), junkyard magic, the price of steel, and structural recycling. Soup for you: The Allman Brothers, faces for radio, Colorado Springs and Gold Hill history (schmistory!), R-rated junk car finds, and Johnny Cash's forgotten song about Deloreans. ...And don't trust your lyin' eyes - the Garage Hour is always PG, so the "Explicit" rating that occasionally appears on episodes is just some 'bot that was too drunk to do its job.

Episode Summary In this episode of Prosperity Thinkers, Spencer Shaw and Kim Butler explore the true return on investment of education and life experiences. While financial ROI is often easy to calculate, the value of learning, proximity, and personal growth is far less measurable—and potentially unlimited. Kim shares personal stories, practical frameworks, and mindset shifts that reveal why investing in yourself pays dividends for a lifetime, especially when approached with intention, generosity, and calendar control.    Links & Resources For resources and additional information of this episode go to https://prosperitythinkers.com/podcasts/ http://prosperityparents.com/  https://storage.googleapis.com/msgsndr/yBEuMuj6fSwGh7YB8K87/media/68e557c906b06d836d9effad.pdf  https://www.youtube.com/@KimDHButler    Keywords ROI of education  Investing in yourself Unlimited ROI  Experiences vs assets  Strategic Coach  Dan Sullivan Calendar control  Personal growth  Professional development  Give first mindset  Proximity advantage  Imposter syndrome  Learning through experiences   Episode Highlights (with Timestamps) 00:00–01:22 - Education and experiences as long-term self-investments 01:22–02:43 - Why cost is easy to measure but value is not 02:43–03:42 - The power of proximity and lifelong ripple effects 03:42–04:04 - Why "give first" creates unlimited ROI 04:30–05:16 - Hierarchy of education: books vs proximity and human connection 05:16–06:17 - Overcoming imposter syndrome through contribution 06:17–07:38 - The value of perspective at every career stage 07:38–08:14 - Managing physical state to shift mindset 09:14–12:13 - Calendar control as a framework for education ROI 12:50–13:20 - Turning knowledge into clarity, habits, and momentum

Welcome to Kickin' It in the Kitchen, a miniseries by the Catalyze podcast that explores the transformative summers of the Morehead-Cain Program. In the Professional Experience summer, scholars begin to explore the transition from Carolina to the working world by pursuing a professional internship. In this episode, host Aadya Gattu '28 of the Scholar Media Team speaks with Wehazit Mussie '26, a pre-dental history and medical anthropology major, about her nearly two-month internship with the Clinton Health Access Initiative in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. As a Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning intern, Wehazit supported documentation, communications, and data analytics efforts across multiple program areas while collaborating closely with Ethiopia's Ministry of Health. Originally from Eritrea with family ties to Ethiopia, Wehazit reflects on the personal dimension of her professional experience, including reunions with relatives and visiting places her parents once lived. Their conversation explores how her academic interests in history and medical anthropology intersect with data-driven public health work, what surprised her about the role, and how being in Ethiopia added unique global perspective to her Professional Experience. Music creditsThe episode's intro song is by scholar Scott Hallyburton '22, guitarist of the band South of the Soul. How to listenOn your mobile device, you can listen and subscribe to Catalyze on Apple Podcastsor Spotify.

In our second episode this season, we dive into the high-stakes world of online wagering. We trace the path of online sports betting from offshore sites like the World Sports Exchange to the landmark 2018 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Murphy v. NCAA, which dismantled the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act ban on sports gambling and launched a billion-dollar industry.What was once a legal grey area has moved into the mainstream, as betting doesn't stop with sports and has led to the rise of digital prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi, where stats nerds and political junkies trade futures contracts on real-world outcomes on everything from Billboard charts to the next occupant of the Oval Office. Are these digital markets the new YouGov poll, or just a gamified version of the public square?These markets often beat traditional polling by aggregating real-time data and financial incentives, but are they free from their users' biases?Special guests: Seth Shankle, avid sports betterKoleman Strumpf, professor of economics at Wake Forest UniversityTom Miller, faculty director of the data science program at Northwestern University and operator of The Virtual ToutThis episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.The market is in a confirmed bearish trend right now. Using the OVTLYR trend template, the 10 is under the 20, price is under the 50, and mathematically speaking, that's bearish. No guessing. No hype. Just data.In this video, we watched Joseph Hogue's “Seven Stocks Billionaires Are Buying Now” weekly stock market update and broke it all down in real time.Here's the twist. While retail investors have been selling into weakness, billionaires and hedge funds have been quietly accumulating positions. That sounds exciting. But is it smart to follow them blindly?We walked through the latest 13F filings from the SEC and analyzed the actual stocks mentioned, including Nvidia, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Google, SPY and more. Then we ran them through OVTLYR to see what the trends really look like today, not 45 days ago when the filings were made.Inside this breakdown:✅ Why the market is objectively in a bearish trend right now✅ The dangerous 45 day reporting lag in billionaire filings✅ Real chart analysis on Nvidia, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and SPY✅ Why buying the dip can destroy accounts in the wrong trend✅ The smarter alternative of buying strength instead of weaknessOne of the biggest takeaways is this. Billionaires often buy for long term positioning, control, or strategic reasons. That does not automatically mean it is the right entry for you today. Timing and trend alignment matter.If you're serious about stock market analysis, hedge fund moves, 13F filings, billionaire portfolios, and using OVTLYR to manage risk in volatile markets, this breakdown delivers clarity without the noise.Watch, analyze, decide with data.Subscribe to OVTLYR for disciplined trading strategies that actually make sense.

"More Than a School: Values, Measurement, and What Education Is Really For"In this episode of the Ger Graus Gets Gritty series, Mark Taylor sits down once again with Professor Dr. Ger Graus OBE to explore one of his most passionate themes — the idea that schools are, and must intentionally become, more than a school. Drawing on his own transformative work leading Education Action Zones in Wythenshawe, South Manchester, Ger makes a compelling case for community-rooted education that puts the whole child first, measures what truly matters, and trusts teachers as the professionals they are.Inspired by FC Barcelona's famous motto Més que un Club ("More than a Club"), Ger argues that schools — particularly primary schools embedded in their communities — have always carried responsibilities far beyond academic instruction. But rather than waiting for government to dictate how those responsibilities are fulfilled, he urges schools to seize the agenda, define their own values, and prove their impact on their own terms.From breakfast clubs to brokering local solutions within a network of 29 schools, from the dangers of league table dishonesty to the transformative power of professional trust. It's a rallying call to educators, parents, and policymakers alike."Schools invariably already are more than a school. But I think we need to become better at it and perhaps we need to become more deliberate at it.""If we want to do the 'more than a school' bit properly, I think we need to begin with the values of why are we doing this — and what is the impact, and how is that good for our children, our families, our communities?"Key Takeaways1. Schools must be deliberately "more than a school." The challenge is to make that broader role intentional, values-driven, and properly resourced, rather than reactive and underfunded. Schools should stop waiting for government permission and start leading the agenda themselves.2. Start with the whole child, not the average child. A child who is hungry, cold, or emotionally unsettled cannot learn. Ger champions breakfast clubs, pastoral support, and out-of-school activities not as "nice extras" but as the essential foundation for learning. The 10 A's identified in Cambridge University research on Children's University — including attendance, attainment, attitudes, adventure, agency, and advocacy — offer a far richer picture of school impact than narrow inspection frameworks.3. Measure progress, not just performance. League tables and one-size-fits-all inspection frameworks distort reality and incentivise dishonesty. Ger advocates for progress measures that reflect a school's specific community context — comparing a school against its own journey rather than against wealthier, more selective institutions. Meaningful accountability means schools defining and measuring their own impact transparently.4. Professional trust is the missing ingredient. The Wythenshawe Education Action Zone showed what's possible when teachers and headteachers are genuinely trusted: 29 schools that had never met collectively began collaborating, sharing expertise, and solving problems from within. No external consultants, no top-down directives — just professionals empowered to know their children, their families, and their communities.5. Respect and trust for teachers must be made visible — by everyone. Ger's closing call to action is personal and practical. To parents: engage with teachers as the professionals they are, rather than rushing to challenge or undermine them. To government: back up the rhetoric of "trusting teachers" with real autonomy. And to everyone: make trust visible in small, tangible acts — like a handwritten thank-you note after a difficult week. As Ger puts it, "We need to...

In this episode of the Fellowship of Kingdom Professionals (FKP), Bishop Michael Blue launches a powerful new series: The Professional and the Proverbs. Drawing from ancient Hebrew wisdom literature, he reframes Proverbs not as generalized life advice, but as royal formation literature, king-making instruction from Solomon to those destined to lead. This episode will challenge executives, entrepreneurs, clergy, creatives, educators, and emerging leaders to embrace Proverbs as a royal curriculum — written for those who are called to influence culture. If you are a kingdom professional committed to leadership, excellence, and dominion thinking, this episode will expand your framework for wisdom, authority, and cultural impact.

Luxury can be expensive, but it can also be subtle, practical, or deeply personal. Sometimes it's about choice, sometimes restraint, sometimes the way a space or product simply works better for you. Through thoughtful discussion, the episode examines how luxury shows up in appliances and design—through performance, comfort, longevity, and everyday ease—and why it resonates differently for everyone over time This nuanced conversation explores the evolving meaning of luxury through multiple industry perspectives, featuring Devoree Axelrod, General Manager at AJ Madison, alongside industry expert Jill Cohen, Editor-in-Chief, Luxe Interiors + Design. KBIS Podcast Studio Resources: KBIS AJ Madison NKBA LUXE Interiors + Design SubZero, Wolf & Cove SKS | Signature Kitchen Suite Hearth & Home Technologies Kitchen365 Green Forrest Cabinetry Midea Luxury Isn't a Price Point. It's a Performance Standard. At the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show 2026, leaders from AJ Madison and Luxe Interiors + Design reframing luxury as durability, intentionality, and the ability of design to support how people actually live. The word “luxury” has become one of the most overused—and least defined—terms in the design industry. At KBIS 2026, a live conversation featuring Devoree Axelrod, General Manager of AJ Madison, and Jill Cohen, Editor in Chief of Luxe Interiors + Design, set out to recalibrate its meaning. What emerged was less about price and more about performance, longevity, and intent. For decades, luxury was shorthand for premium brands, higher costs, and visual distinction. Today, that definition is insufficient. The modern homeowner isn't simply buying a product; they're investing in how their home supports their routines, relationships, and future. Luxury, in this context, becomes the elimination of friction. It's the appliance that performs reliably every day. It's the kitchen designed around how a family actually cooks and gathers. It's the confidence that decisions made today will still make sense twenty years from now. Cohen shared findings from Luxe's upcoming national survey of 1,000 leading architects, designers, and builders, confirming that the kitchen remains the single most important area of homeowner investment. More significantly, appliances are often the first and most consequential decisions made in the design process. They establish the spatial, technical, and functional framework around which everything else follows. Axelrod reinforced this from her vantage point inside one of the country's largest appliance retailers. Appliance selection determines infrastructure—electrical loads, ventilation, plumbing, and spatial relationships—making it foundational rather than decorative. When clients prioritize performance and usability first, the rest of the design aligns more effectively, both functionally and financially. The conversation also addressed the persistent myth of the fixed budget. In reality, budgets are fluid, shaped as much by emotion as by arithmetic. Homeowners may begin with a number in mind, but that number evolves as priorities clarify. The role of the designer and appliance advisor becomes essential: helping clients distinguish between what serves their lives and what merely satisfies aspiration. This shift is evident in how kitchens are expanding beyond their traditional boundaries. Secondary prep kitchens, beverage stations, outdoor kitchens, coffee bars, and integrated refrigeration throughout the home reflect a broader redefinition of convenience. These are not excesses for their own sake; they are extensions of daily life, driven by multigenerational living, remote work, and a deeper integration between hospitality and residential design. Perhaps most telling was the reframing of luxury itself. Neither Axelrod nor Cohen defined it by brand name. Instead, luxury was described as ease, time, and permanence. It is waking up and having what you need within reach. It is durability that eliminates the need for replacement. It is thoughtful planning that prevents regret. In this light, luxury is not what something costs. It is what something enables. And increasingly, what it enables is a home that works—quietly, reliably, and seamlessly—in service of the people who live there. Luxury is the measurable outcome of thoughtful design—where performance, longevity, and relevance align to support the way people actually live. Luxury is the removal of friction from daily life. Luxury is durability aligned with intent. Luxury is design that continues to perform long after the purchase is forgotten. Luxury is confidence—in function, longevity, and fit. Luxury is not what you spend. It's what you never have to rethink. The Kitchen as the Primary Investment The kitchen remains the #1 homeowner investment nationwide. Homeowners are willing to exceed budget in the kitchen more than any other space. The kitchen is the most public and social room in the home. It represents identity: “I'm a cook,” “I entertain,” “I host.” Food equals memory; appliances enable those memories. Appliance-First Design Strategy Appliances determine electrical, ventilation, plumbing, and layout requirements. Major appliance decisions must precede cabinetry and finish selections. Early appliance specification prevents costly redesigns. Designers increasingly plan around cooking infrastructure first. Professional appliance advisors play a key role in product education and innovation updates. Budget Realities & Psychology Budgets are rarely fixed; they are often unstated or misunderstood. Clients frequently establish budgets before fully understanding what they want. Designers must define the intersection of “want” and “need.” Stretching budget in the kitchen feels justified because it is essential. Strategic trade-offs are common (invest in cooking, scale back secondary items). Transparency and cost clarity are critical in today's climate. Surprises—especially tariff or pricing shocks—undermine trust. Professional designers protect clients from unrealistic expectations and long-term regret. The Expanding Kitchen Ecosystem Kitchens are no longer singular spaces—they expand throughout the home. Secondary kitchens (sculleries, prep kitchens, butler's pantries) are rising. Beverage centers, bars, and wine storage are increasingly common. Coffee stations and en-suite kitchenettes are viewed as lifestyle enhancements. Outdoor kitchens are now expected in many markets. Refrigeration appears in bathrooms (skincare), offices, and guest suites. Multigenerational living drives multi-kitchen design. Post-COVID entertaining shifted bar culture into the home. Lifestyle-Driven Design Trends Hospitality influences residential expectations. Convenience and personalization outweigh pure status signaling. Aging in place is shaping appliance planning (drawer refrigeration, wall ovens). Durability is increasingly valued over trend-based aesthetics. Remote work drives integrated kitchenettes and beverage access in home offices. Multiple laundry setups reflect modern household logistics. Status vs. Practicality Status still influences resale-driven decisions in some cases. However, emotional connection tends to be with category (cooking, entertaining) rather than brand alone. Longevity and service reliability often justify premium selections. Magazine-driven or editorial glamour exists—but practical function ultimately wins. Role of the Professional Designer Designers provide budget discipline and scope management. They help clients make decisions faster, reducing cost creep. They balance aspiration with feasibility. Professional oversight protects long-term value. Design is positioned not as a privilege, but as a necessity. Market & Cultural Influences COVID permanently shifted how homes are used. Entertaining moved inward; bar and pizza oven sales spiked. Multigenerational living increased spatial complexity. Social media informs but can distort expectations. Consumers increasingly research via reviews and digital channels. Clients are more cautious amid economic and tariff uncertainty. Guiding Principle “Proper planning prevents poor performance.” Early, honest, and intentional planning reduces regret. Design is both a desire business and a service industry. The goal is not excess—it is alignment between space and life.
