From tournament prep, deck choices, and brutal matchups to the reality of best-of-three pacing, this one is a full weekend recap from the player perspective. Mitchell talks through his Zoroark run and finishing just one card away from Day 2, while Justin reflects on a day full of ties, time management lessons, and why some matchups felt way tougher than expected. But this episode isn't just about the matches. The guys also get into the fun side of the event: retro side events, exclusive championship merch, carnival-style games, Pokémon pinball, raid battles, vendor finds, and the food stops that helped keep the weekend alive. The back half turns into a relaxed pack-opening session with Destined Rivals, making this one feel like the full Regionals experience from start to finish.  00:00 Intro 01:23 Houston Regionals begins 06:12 Mitchell's run 13:59 Justin's run 22:03 Side events and merch 28:45 Raid battles explained 39:08 Pack talk 42:10 Pack opening 51:45 Houston visuals and venue 59:19 Food stops 01:06:45 Event highs and lows 01:11:38 Final thoughts

Welcome to Season 6, Episode 13! Our guest today is Professor Charlotte Brooks a Professor of History at Baruch College and the CUNY Graduate Center. She's a scholar of race, immigration, and urban history, and has published widely on Asian American history, especially Chinese American and Chinese diaspora history. Her latest book is an epic biography called The Moys of New York and Shanghai: One Family's Extraordinary Journey Through War and Revolution (published by University of California Press, 2026). It's a sprawling book that follows the six Moy siblings and their spouses and children through a tumultuous half-century of world war, revolution, and social transformation in the United States and China. They face discrimination, hardship, triumph, and destitution throughout their lives. We love how well researched it is and how it highlights some amazing moments in the Chinese American experience we don't often hear about. In our conversation, Charlotte shares how she got into Asian American and Chinese American History, her research process and good fortune with The Moys of New York and Shanghai, the reasons she believes people should read her latest book, what it means to get the support and encouragement from her peers, and so much more. Charlotte is also the author of three other books. American Exodus: Second Generation Chinese Americans in China 1901-1949, Between Mao and McCarthy: Chinese American Politics in the Cold War Years, Alien Neighbors, Foreign Friends: Asian Americans, Housing, and the Transformation of Urban California. Additionally, Prof. Brooks' articles have also appeared in numerous journals.

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!One of the hardest things in academia is the lack of accountability for the most “important” work. We know we must write, but there's rarely external deadlines and so many other things feel more urgent. One of the PhD Life Coach membership students asked how to get going on a task without external accountability and this is an extended version of my answer to her. I'll discuss why external accountability helps, how we can put these frameworks in place for ourselves, and how to overcome common pitfalls. If you liked this episode, you should check out my episode on what to do if you want more reassurance.****I'm Dr Vikki Wright, ex-Professor and certified life coach and I help everyone from PhD students to full Professors to get a bit less overwhelmed and thrive in academia.

HyperPath, a recent spin-out from Tyndall National Institute, based at University College Cork, is addressing one of today's biggest mobility challenges: ensuring reliable, always-on wireless connectivity for systems on the move. HyperPath was founded on pioneering research conducted within Tyndall's Wireless Communications Laboratory by Dr Kariem Fahmi and Professor Holger Claussen, which solves the problem of continuous connectivity through an AI-powered software platform that seamlessly fuses and orchestrates multiple unreliable wireless networks into a single ultra-reliable connection. As cars and autonomous systems become more connected, uninterrupted communication is essential for safety and operational efficiency. However, current networks have limitations, such as cellular coverage gaps, satellite line-of-sight issues, and high costs, which can lead to service interruptions, safety risks, and reduced performance. HyperPath removes reliance on any single network, providing a stronger and more resilient connection: — For automotive manufacturers: Always-on connectivity to support advanced vehicle features, autonomy, and safety systems across urban, rural, and remote environments. — For satellite and virtual network operators: New opportunities to deliver hybrid services that combine satellite and terrestrial networks. The development of HyperPath's technology was supported through an Enterprise Ireland–funded Commercialisation Fund project, which enabled the team to translate their research into a market-ready solution. HyperPath also benefitted from Enterprise Ireland's Business Partners Programme and has secured Pre-Seed Start Fund investment, providing crucial support as the company moves into the next phase of growth. With this foundation in place, HyperPath is now entering a growth phase that will see the expansion of its engineering and commercial teams. The company's plans for high-value job creation will contribute to Ireland's growing deep-tech and semiconductor-adjacent ecosystem, adding further momentum to the region's reputation as a hub for advanced connectivity and mobility technologies. Dr Patrick Morrissey, Director of Innovation and Industry Engagement, Tyndall, said: "HyperPath represents the type of innovative, high-impact software company that complements and reinforces Ireland's rapidly scaling semiconductor ecosystem. Its success showcases the Semiconductor Strategy, Silicon Island, in practice, and aligns with Tyndall's mission to support companies that add capability, depth, and competitiveness to Ireland's national semiconductor landscape." Professor Holger Claussen, Head of Tyndall's Wireless Communications Laboratory and Professor of Wireless Communications at University College Cork and Trinity College Dublin, said: "With HyperPath, we solved the very hard technical problem to efficiently combine multiple unreliable wireless networks into an ultra-reliable and highly efficient link. We approach the theoretical maximum bonding performance, which currently no other existing link-bonding solution can do with variable wireless links." Ger Mc Namara, CEO, HyperPath, said: "We are at a pivotal point in time for resilient, on-the-move wireless connectivity, be it autonomous vehicles, mobile robotics, drone operations or emergency services. The challenges and business impacts associated with single wireless network use can no longer be tolerated. HyperPath is leading the way in delivering AI-optimised, resilient wireless hybrid connectivity"

Benjamin Netanyahu recently admitted he'd spent 40 years waiting for an American president willing to attack Iran. In Donald Trump, he finally found one. But was this a strategy — or a panic? Professor Zlatko Hadžidedić, one of the Balkans' most incisive geopolitical minds, argues it's neither chess nor grand design. It's a desperate gamble by a declining empire that didn't fully understand what it was getting into — and the consequences may reshape the entire global order. In this conversation, we go deep on:

Having received his Ph.D. in mathematical logic at Brandeis University, Rabbi Dr. Dovid Gottlieb went on to become Professor of Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University. Today he is a senior faculty member at Ohr Somayach in Jerusalem. An accomplished author and lecturer, Rabbi Gottlieb has electrified audiences with his stimulating and energetic presentations on ethical and philosophical issues. In Jewish Philosophy with Rabbi Dr. Gottlieb, we are invited to explore the most fascinating and elemental concepts of Jewish Philosophy. https://podcasts.ohr.edu/ podcasts@ohr.edu

Text and Be HeardA fixed match doesn't start with a brown paper bag under the table. It starts with a system that quietly rewards corruption and punishes honesty, then wraps it all in highlight reels and betting promos. We're joined by Professor Declan Hill, an investigative journalist and researcher who has spent years studying organized crime in sports and the global sports gambling market. He walks us through how match fixing actually works, including why it can reach the biggest stages in soccer, and how intimidation and “inside the sausage factory” incentives keep people silent. One of the most unsettling takeaways is how often athletes are made vulnerable by basic corruption: money intended for players gets siphoned off, and fixers step in offering cash and certainty. From there, we get blunt about legalized sports betting in the United States. We talk about the myth that the average bettor can win long term, the way betting apps turn your phone into a casino, and why young people including teens are getting pulled in fast. Declan explains why prop bets, parlays, micro betting, and live betting aren't harmless extras but powerful addiction mechanisms, and why athletes can be uniquely susceptible to gambling addiction. We end with solutions and a warning. Self-regulation doesn't work, and the growing financial ties between leagues and sportsbooks damage trust in the game. Declan makes the case for an independent sports integrity agency, modeled on systems that already exist elsewhere, and argues that without real oversight a major scandal could push a league into an existential crisis. If you care about sports, recovery, or how industries manufacture consent, this conversation will stick with you. Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who loves sports, and leave a review with your take: do you still trust what you're watching?Declan HillLinkedIn:  Declan Hill | LinkedInSubstack: CrimeWaves | Declan Hill | SubstackBook:  The Fix on Amazon: Amazon.com: The Fix: Soccer and Organized Crime: 9780771041396: Hill, Declan: BooksSupport the showRecovery is Beautiful.   Go Live Your Best Life!!Facebook Group - Recovery Freedom Circle | FacebookYour EQ is Your IQYouTube -    Life Is Wonderful   Hugo VRecovery Freedom CircleThe System That Understands Recovery, Builds Character  and Helps People Have Better Relationships.A Life Changing Solution, Saves You Time, 18 weekswww.lifeiswonderful.love  Instagram -  Lifeiswonderful.LoveTikTok -  Lifeiswonderful.LovePinterest -   Lifeiswonderful.LoveX -     LifeWonderLoveLinkedIn -   Hugo Vrsalovic    LinkedIn -   The 1% in Recovery

Absolute corruption! PLUS, Robert Steinbuch, Professor of Law at University of Arkansas - Little Rock, discusses the continual historic ignorance of Israel and wonders why so many Jews are still aligned with the Democrat Party when their policies foster antisemitism? Maaneli (Max) Derakhshani, Senior Science Advisor at the CO2 Coalition, tells Shaun there is no reason to fear CO2 and thinks that President Trump can do more with rolling back more environmental regulations.

In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. Uri Alon, Professor at Weizmann Institute of Science. They explore a systems view of aging that treats longevity as a solvable model, not a grab bag of disconnected theories.Uri explains aging with a simple story: houses make garbage, trucks remove it, and the village has a threshold for how much damage it can handle. In the body, “garbage” can include damaged and senescent cells, “trucks” can include immune cleanup, and “houses” can include long-lived cells and stem cells that drift over time. The model links this balance to death, disease, and steady decline, and it helps predict which interventions actually change it.They also revisit the role of genes. Uri argues that lifespan looks closer to 50% heritable today after correcting for early, non-aging deaths in older datasets. The rest comes from the environment and biological noise, which regular sleep may help reduce.Guest-at-a-Glance

Why do we actively seek out content that makes us angry? In this episode, Colin Shaw and Professor Ryan Hamilton explore the idea of consuming anger as an emotional experience. From doomscrolling and rage-bait headlines to viral customer complaints and outrage-driven media, they unpack why anger is such a powerful, bonding, and profitable emotion — and what this means for Customer Experience. Best Quote from the Episode "Sometimes people don't just experience anger — they actively consume it, because it makes them feel alive." Professor Ryan Hamilton Key Takeaways Anger is not just a reaction — it's often a deliberate emotional choice People consume negative emotions (anger, fear, disgust, sadness) because emotion beats boredom Rage-bait content works because it delivers safe emotional arousal with no personal risk Brands can unintentionally create rage bait, losing control of the narrative There may be no emotion that can't be monetized — but that raises ethical questions Resources Mentioned Overton's window - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMU0w4MP8Dc&t=5s Colin Shaw - https://www.linkedin.com/in/colinrjshaw/ Professor Ryan Hamilton - http://linkedin.com/in/ryan-hamilton-49b3321   About the Hosts:  Colin Shaw is a LinkedIn 'Top Voice' with a massive 286,000 followers and 87,000 subscribers to his 'Why Customers Buy' newsletter.

Blame rarely makes care safer, but understanding the system usually does. In this episode, Professor Charles Vincent, a clinical psychologist and leading patient safety researcher, explains how harm often emerges from a chain of small breakdowns, not from a single “bad” decision, and why the better question is “what in the system allowed this to happen?” He unpacks how the fixation on individual error can miss deeper contributors, such as fatigue, poor supervision, weak monitoring, clunky equipment design, noise, distraction, and communication that is not truly heard. You will hear why disrespectful behavior and hierarchy are safety risks, how simple routines like surgical safety checklists can change whether people speak up, and why healthcare struggles to name the trade-off between pushing volume and protecting safety. Tune in and learn how a systems lens, respectful teamwork, and real trade-offs can make care safer. Resources: Connect with and follow Prof. Charles Vincent on LinkedIn.

We're almost a month into autumn and there's a definite nip in the air which means that flu season - and the flu shot - isn't far away. Maybe you'll also be thinking about whether or not to get a COVID booster. But imagine if there was one vaccine that could protect you against both of those - and more. Well a recently published American study suggests that a universal vaccine may very well be possible. Dr Bali Pulendran is a Professor at Standford University's School of Medicine, Director of its Institute for Immunology, Transplantation and Infection and senior author of the study. He talks to Susie Ferguson about what this could mean in the face of another global pandemic.

In this episode of Kickback, host Elizabeth David-Barrett is joined by Marina Nistotskaya, Professor at the Department of Political Science and researcher at the Quality of Government Institute, University of Gothenburg. The conversation explores the role of merit-based recruitment in shaping effective and impartial bureaucracies. Marina discusses how hiring processes influence both competence and independence, and why this distinction is critical for resisting political interference and corruption. The discussion also considers the appropriate balance between political appointments and bureaucratic autonomy, highlighting current debates and trends across different countries. Finally, the episode looks at newer areas of research, including how ambiguity in laws and the outsourcing of state functions can affect decision-making and public service outcomes.

From its birth in seventh-century Arabia, Islam has been a faith on the move. In Worlds of Islam: A Global History (Basic Books, 2026), James McDougall explores its origins and transformations from Late Antiquity to the digital age. Over the span of a thousand years, armies, missionaries, and merchants carried it to the edges of Europe, the coasts of Southeast Asia, and the remote interior of China. By the nineteenth century, Islam encompassed a world of great diversity, from Muslim-ruled empires to nations where Muslims lived out their faith among many others. In the twentieth century, while monarchs in the Gulf asserted dynastic privilege and fundamentalists in Egypt and Pakistan preached social morality, revolutionaries from Algeria to Indonesia fought for national self-determination, and activists in North America and Europe campaigned for civil liberties and social justice. As empires fell and new superpowers rose, Muslims proved to be as adaptable and dynamic as modernity itself. Sweeping and authoritative, Worlds of Islam narrates the epic story of how Muslims emerged as a community, built empires, traversed the globe, came to number in the billions, and became modern. James McDougall is a Professor of Modern and Contemporary History and a Fellow of Trinity College, University of Oxford. He previously taught at Princeton and at SOAS, London.

Today we are joined by Alan McDougall, Professor of History at the University of Guelph, and the author of Dreams and Songs To Sing: A People's History of Liverpool F.C. From Shankly to Klopp (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2025). In our conversation, we discussed the rise of Liverpool as a global football club, the crises that beset the club during the Heysel and Hillsborough disasters, and the necessity of inherent optimism of fandom in contemporary sports. In Dreams and Songs to Sing, McDougall writes the history of Liverpool FC from Shankly to Klopp in a register that will appeal to both popular and scholarly readers. McDougall is a lifelong Liverpool supporter, and he is careful to point out where his connections to the club and its fandom might shade his examination, but he also shows how those same affective connections allow him to a unique entry point into issues only visible to fans and that supports can be even more critical than a detached observer. This is especially true in his investigation of Heysel and Hillsborough. The book proceeds roughly chronologically. The book's early chapters examine the club's connection to Liverpool's working-class district 4 and to their Anfield home ground. He pays special attention to the supporter's end - the notorious Kop. Using oral history interviews, McDougall illustrates the exceptional pull of the stadium to both local and global fans. The heart of the book is its engaging, thick description of the club's history during the Shankly era. McDougall shows that not only was Shankly a very successful manager, and quite funny, but that he ran the club with a sense of Liverpool's local identity. A man who arrived at the right time – he benefitted from Liverpool's growing global reputation; Beatlemania gave the city a sound but players and fans rubbed shoulders with comics, musicians, and poets. Shankly embodied the very local socialist, working-class attitudes of the majority of club supporters. His retirement shook the whole city. McDougall uses a family repository of letters to show how people from around the city, the country, and the world wrote to him to express sadness at him leaving and to wish him luck. McDougall's account might be from an insider, but his analysis does not shy away from shining a light on the difficult social politics that accompanied the club's enormous success on the field. European Cup victories sit alongside the deadly hooligan violence at Heysel. Black players like Howard Gayle and John Barnes face racism from the club's supporters. The club first ignores and then undervalues the rise of women's football. McDougall's history ends in the Klopp era – perhaps a mercy to Liverpool fans! He shows how the contemporary club embodies the idea of a global club with a local heart. The international ownership of the club has successfully navigated the rise of the Premier League and the increasing commercialization of European football, but local supporters have been innovative at creating a culture of resistance to changes that could undermine the glocal identity of Liverpool. Klopp symbolized this new football club: cosmopolitan, emotional, forward, successful. Compelling and hard to put down, McDougall's Dreams and Songs to Sing will appeal to all readers of sports history. It will be of particular interest to Liverpool supporters and football fanatics.

"When you look at the world now, does it look more uncertain or less uncertain?" In December 2025, the Bank of England's Financial Policy Committee (FPC) answered that question by cutting the equity capital requirement for UK banks. David Aikman (NIESR) and John Vickers (University of Oxford), two former senior Bank insiders who helped to design the regulatory framework post-GFC, think the committee got it wrong.The FPC lowered the benchmark capital requirement from 14% to 13% of risk-weighted assets, a move that could free up roughly £30 billion of capital across the UK banking system. Aikman and Vickers see no compelling economic reason for the change. They argue that the 2015 benchmark was already set too low, built on questionable assumptions about how well resolution frameworks would work. Since 2015, Brexit, the pandemic, and a sharply stretched fiscal position have all increased the likely cost of a future crisis. The practical effect of the loosening may not even be more lending, but higher dividends and share buybacks. And the December decision may signal a weakening of the leverage ratio backstop, the constraint that limits bank borrowing regardless of how risk weights are applied.The research behind this episode:Aikman, David, and John Vickers. 2026.

VoxTalks Economics (podcast). Assign this as extra listening. The citation above is formatted and ready for a reading list or VLE.About the guestsDavid Aikman is Director of the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR). He worked at the Bank of England from 2003 to 2020, where he served as Technical Head of Division in Financial Stability and was centrally involved in the creation of the Financial Policy Committee. His research spanning macroprudential regulation, systemic risk, and the macroeconomics of financial crises has made him one of the leading academic voices on bank capital policy in the UK.Sir John Vickers is Warden of All Souls College and Professor of Economics at the University of Oxford. He served as Chief Economist and a member of the Monetary Policy Committee at the Bank of England, and chaired the Independent Commission on Banking from 2010 to 2011, which recommended substantially higher capital requirements than those subsequently adopted. His research spanning industrial economics, competition policy, and financial regulation has shaped UK banking policy for two decades.Research cited in this episodeEquity capital requirements specify the minimum proportion of a bank's assets that must be funded by shareholders' equity rather than borrowed money. Equity is the only form of funding that can absorb losses without triggering insolvency: if a bank suffers unexpected losses, its shareholders bear them first. In the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis, some large institutions held equity equivalent to as little as two or three percent of their total exposures, implying leverage of up to forty times; a small shock was enough to render them insolvent. The post-crisis repair effort was designed to ensure that could not happen again.Risk-weighted assets (RWAs) are the denominator against which capital requirements are measured. Rather than applying the capital ratio to the raw value of all assets, the framework deflates each asset by an estimated risk factor: a mortgage backed by collateral is treated as less risky than an unsecured corporate loan, for example. Capital requirements are then expressed as a percentage of this risk-adjusted total. The approach creates significant complexity and depends heavily on the accuracy of the risk weights; much of the story of 2008 was that regulators allowed banks to attach implausibly low risk weights to their exposures, understating the true leverage in the system.The Financial Policy Committee (FPC) is the Bank of England body responsible for macroprudential oversight of the UK financial system. Created in 2013, it sits above the individual regulators to take a system-wide view of whether risks are building and whether the financial system as a whole has adequate resilience. One of its primary tools is setting the overall capital requirement benchmark for UK banks. In 2015 it set that benchmark at 14% of risk-weighted assets; in December 2025 it reduced it to 13%.The leverage ratio is an alternative measure of bank capitalisation that does not apply risk weights. It expresses equity as a simple percentage of total assets, regardless of what those assets are. The UK leverage ratio backstop currently stands at around 3 to 4%, implying maximum leverage of roughly twenty-five to thirty times for systemically important banks. Vickers and Aikman note that for some UK banks the backstop has become the binding constraint, which they regard as a warning sign: it suggests that risk-weighted measures are understating actual leverage, not that the backstop should be relaxed.Resolution frameworks are the legal and operational mechanisms that allow regulators to manage the failure of a bank without a taxpayer bailout, by imposing losses on shareholders and creditors in an orderly way. A central assumption in the FPC's 2015 capital benchmark was that resolution would work effectively in a future crisis, which justified a lower capital requirement. Vickers and Aikman are sceptical: the experience of Credit Suisse in 2023, which required a state-assisted rescue despite the existence of resolution plans, illustrates that orderly resolution of a major institution cannot be taken for granted.Basel 3.1 is the latest package of international banking regulatory standards agreed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, designed to address weaknesses in how risk weights are calculated. Its implementation in the UK is scheduled for 2027, nineteen years after the 2008 crisis. The FPC's December 2025 decision is partly contingent on Basel 3.1 being implemented as planned; Aikman notes that there have been repeated international delays and rollbacks, and that the UK's ability to move ahead unilaterally is constrained by what other major jurisdictions do.The 2023 banking stress saw three US regional banks (Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic) fail in quick succession in March 2023, followed by the forced rescue of Credit Suisse by UBS. These events occurred in what was, by historical standards, a relatively stable macroeconomic environment. Vickers cites them as evidence that banking sector vulnerabilities have not been eliminated by post-2008 reforms, and as a caution against complacency about the effectiveness of current safeguards.More VoxTalks EconomicsMaking banking safe Our financial system is supposed to be more resilient than before the global financial crisis, but that didn't save Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank or First Republic. So what went wrong, and can we fix it? Steve Cecchetti and Kim Schoenholtz suggest how regulators can make banking safer.

In this special interview episode of The Huddle Breakdown, James and Alan are joined by Dr. David Forrest, Professor of Sports Economics at Liverpool University, to dive into the murky underworld of match-fixing and football corruption. Dr. Forrest breaks down the staggering scale of unregulated Asian betting markets, how criminal syndicates infiltrate clubs, and why an elite referee admitted it is "dead easy" to rig a game with just a single defensive mistake. The panel also debates the "extortion" of the American franchise cartel model, the unique vulnerabilities of leagues like the League of Ireland, and Alan unpacks the glaring statistical anomalies that suggest Scottish refereeing suffers from a deeply ingrained cultural bias rather than financial corruption.Want to support the channel? - https://huddlebreakdown.comLike this video and want more content like it?

He explains how traditional model succeeded in development and wealth creation goals, yet leaving critical gaps from focusing on efficiency over equity, output over outcomes, and growth over sustainability. He discusses the "K-shaped" economy, concentrated power, and leadership responsibility to use influence with more moral character to improve well-being. Subi recommends "better not new" models, urges leaders to consider more human-centric assumptions, and reframes business as a platform for both performance and societal progress.     KEY TAKEAWAYS   [01:29] Professor Subi Rangan describes early influences shaping his career and perspective. [02:25] Subi explains his exposure to Tata's positive societal impact in India. [04:06] During his PhD, Subi observes multinational firms as platforms for global human capital. [05:50] Contrasts between business income generation and societal impact outcomes. [06:37] Government intervention rises when markets fail to self-correct. [07:14] Since 1980s, liberalization increased legitimacy of private enterprise self-regulation. [07:30] Capitalism 2.0 addresses gaps in the current system – e.g. enormous wealth creation, but well-being is lacking. [10:15] Efficiency over equity is one driver of the modern "K economy". [10:59] Emphasis on outputs neglected sustainability despite economic growth and scale. [11:47] Mass production and consumption can produce better outcomes with more thoughtful producers and consumers. [12:58] Society is influenced by four systems: bio, cultural, political, and economic. [13:35] Interdependence is regulated to resolve differences – using culture's soft power. [15:00] Hard power, civic interdependence with norms and consequences. [15:51] Economic interdependence excels at efficiency with inherent contradiction. [18:01] Highlights divergence of opportunity and income fuels dissatisfaction. [19:00] The concentration of power comes with moral responsibility to exercise it. [21:04] Inequality is a choice influenced by leadership values. [22:03] Lack of fairness and wellbeing can bring down society. [24:19] Focus on outcomes not outputs, especially fairness as an outcome. [24:56] Economic drivers of ill- or well-being – adjusting the structure of employment. [25:55] Labor immobility challenges adaptation pushing for an ecosystem of adjustment. [26:33] Adaptive individuals emphasises workplace learning over formal education. [26:52] An ecosystem approach supports workforce adaptation and stability. [27:35] How to incorporate non-price value outcomes like wellbeing and equity. [29:05] We have a moral problem, not a technical one. [29:33] After achieved development, wellbeing, equity, and sustainability need economic integration. [31:08] Deeper leadership character must complement competence in AI era. [31:52] AI can be a potential equalizer if guided intentionally. [34:32] Moral reasoning can be incorporated into business education systems. [35:20] Updating applied professions to combine competence and character for meaningful careers. [36:55] Points to Better Life Index as multidimensional well-being measurement model. [38:14] Outcome-based metrics rarely exist at the enterprise level thus far. [39:30] Ideas, academic research, and conversation can drive systemic change.     RESOURCES   Professor Subramanian Rangan's biography   Societyforprogress.org website   Professor Rangan's chapter "From Market-Pareto to Moral-Pareto: Seven Problematic Assumptions in Business Economics Theory" in the 2025 book "Core Assumptions in Business Theory: A Wedge Between Performance and Progress"       QUOTES   "The models that we have really do work to enable this wealth creation. However, they seem to not have done a good job on creating wellbeing."   "There is an anxiety that is quite unprecedented about the future and about the state of the world."    "The 20th century economy produced great output, but it fell short on outcomes."   "It's not about the concentration of power, it's about the exercise of concentrated power."   "Business actually is a great platform for not only positive income, but also for positive impact."

One year ago, in 2025, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was extradited to The Hague to face charges of crimes against humanity and murder for orchestrating a campaign of extrajudicial killings against people he deemed to be involved in the drug trade. Over the course of several years while he was president, thousands of people were killed by police and hit squads. Now, he faces justice at the International Criminal Court. Nearly one year to the day after his extradition, Duterte faced his first major court proceeding: the confirmation of charges against him. This is a major moment for the Philippines and the International Criminal Court. Joining me to discuss the case against Rodrigo Duterte is Diane Desierto, Professor of Law at Notre Dame Law School and Professor of Global Affairs at the Keough School of Global Affairs at Notre Dame. We begin by discussing the specific charges against Duterte before having a broader conversation about the significance of this case for both the Philippines and the future of the ICC.
