What if the government's top-secret military projects aren't just about cutting-edge technology and weaponry, but also about the dark arts? What if these black projects are rooted in occult knowledge, mind control, and ritualistic practices that are hidden from the public eye? In this episode, we're diving deep into the world of military black operations and asking a tough question: Could some of these programs be the real-world manifestation of modern-day sorcery?While we often think of sorcery as something rooted in ancient witchcraft, dark magic, or secret occult societies, what if the military's black projects—from mind control experiments to advanced psychic warfare—are just a new form of sorcery in the 21st century?

What's the point of reading if it doesn't improve your life and work? In the second installment of the Pages to Projects summer series, BJ Kraemer explores why reading alone isn't enough; true leadership development requires learning. Drawing from personal experience, business coaching insights, and frameworks like the West Point leadership development model, BJ offers a practical breakdown of how to convert ideas from books into action, habit, and growth. If you're ready to transform your reading habit into a leadership accelerator, this episode gives you the tools to make every page you read count. Tune in to learn how to build a learning culture for yourself and your team! Key Points From This Episode:• Why "leaders are learners" goes beyond passive reading or listening.• Insight into West Point's leadership development model.• A 4-step learning method: absorb, apply, reflect, reinforce.• The power of teaching what you've learned to others.• Tactical, operational, and strategic ways to embed learning into your life and work. Quotes:“If we don't make the bridge between what we [read] and how we can apply it, we're actually not taking the action to learn or to improve ourselves.” — BJ Kraemer “When you're looking at the world through the lens of who you're trying to become and you're looking at all of the books that you're reading from that lens, the nuggets will start coming to you: – ‘I can change this. I can get better here.'” — BJ Kraemer Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: E214: Leaders are ReadersWho Not How10x is Easier Than 2xThe Science of ScalingLeadership Blueprints PodcastMCFAMCFA CareersBJ Kraemer on LinkedIn

The uncertainty rippling through the energy industry in the first half of 2025 hasn't gone away. Utilities, developers, and manufacturers are still grappling with the fallout from the "One Big Beautiful Bill," the Trump administration's reversal of parts of the Inflation Reduction Act, and the evolving tangle of trade tariffs.Sylvia Leyva Martinez, host and principal analyst at Wood Mackenzie, is joined by her colleague Kelsey Coffman, Vice President of Supply Chain Consulting at Wood Mackenzie, to analyse how clean energy producers and buyers are adapting to the changes.The cost of batteries and solar panels is skyrocketing; tariffs as high as 145% are disrupting billion-dollar projects. How did we get here? And what can be done? Plus, changing definitions of “foreign entities of concern” – the new rules could kill access to tax credits if suppliers have indirect links to China. Sylvia and Kelsey debate the best path through the FEOC minefield. And how big have the risks of project delays and cancelled investments got? There's been an emergence of stockpiling strategies, but even US-based manufacturers aren't safe. If you're in clean energy, finance, procurement, or just trying to make sense of US decarbonisation strategy, Sylvia and Kelsey are here to help you understand what's changing, what's at stake, and what you can do to stay ahead.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Beyond the Resume Podcast with Andrew Germansky (Building Housing that Heals)In this episode of Beyond the Resume, hosts Chris Papa and Lisa Flicker sit down with Andrew Germansky, Senior Vice President of Real Estate at Westhab, a leading nonprofit affordable housing developer and shelter operator in New York. Andrew discusses his journey from history major to housing leader, the innovations Westhab is bringing to affordable and supportive housing, and why ending homelessness requires bold thinking, public-private partnerships, and a reimagined approach to shelter development.From shelter design innovations to why affordable housing is national infrastructure, this conversation dives deep into what it takes to develop housing that heals and stabilizes communities.Chapters(00:00) Meet Andrew Germansky + Westhab's MissionAndrew reflects on joining his first podcast and introduces Westhab's work across affordable housing, shelters, and services in NYC, Westchester, and Rockland.(05:29) Building Better Shelters: Zoning, Pushback & EquityAndrew explains NYC's shelter models, the "fair share" placement philosophy, and how Westhab works to integrate shelters into underserved neighborhoods with dignity and purpose.(11:14) Who Experiences Homelessness — and How We HelpThe discussion breaks myths about homelessness, highlighting Westhab's case management approach, family-focused shelters, and the holistic services that help residents transition into stability.(14:35) From History Major to Housing DeveloperAndrew shares his path from studying history to affordable housing, his early roles at Omni New York, and the career pivot that led him to lead real estate development at Westhab.(18:49) Nonprofit vs. For-Profit Development: Collaboration & Trade-offsA thoughtful exploration of the relationship between private capital and mission-driven development — and why both are essential to solving the housing crisis.(27:40) Designing Without Red Tape: Parking, Politics & PossibilityIf zoning and budgets weren't barriers, Andrew says we could build far more housing — especially by eliminating parking mandates that waste space and increase costs.(32:36) Projects, Podcasts & People Who InspireAndrew highlights Dayspring Commons as his most meaningful project, shares real estate podcast recs (like BiggerPockets), and names the mentors who shaped his leadership style.

Even traditional contracts can be collaborative with the right team. As a seasoned infrastructure leader who has served in government, private sector, and advisory roles for more than 15 years, Fred Antunes has seen this firsthand. His extensive experience delivering large-scale projects under P3s, design-builds, and collaborative models guides this wide-ranging and nuanced conversation with Riccardo. Together, they unpack truths and myths around what makes projects work.Fred's real-world insights help to highlight the power owners have to shape project relationships and outcomes, the dangers of shifting risk without support, and why alliance contracts call for experienced and deeply engaged teams.Fred and Riccardo reframe collaboration beyond just a type of contract and offer up a compelling case for considering the unique needs, risks, and capabilities of each project team when choosing a delivery approach.Key TakeawaysThe right people, mindset, and approach—not the contract itself—determine whether a project is truly collaborative (and successful).Fair and active engagement from owners through major programme challenges can mean the difference between a frictionless project and a contentious one.When public infrastructure contracts push all risk onto the contractor, collaboration breaks down—and so does performance.Having the right people on the team during high-stress phases can turn a failing project around, even if it means personnel changes.Experience across public and private sectors builds a more well-rounded, adaptable perspective on project delivery.Quote: “The thing about the alliance that's really interesting is, it's like setting up a new company. Where you basically have an alliance leadership team that is providing oversight and direction. They're like the board of directors. You appoint somebody who's the CEO and then you basically create an organization that includes people from the owner, the designer, the contractor, put them together and you may have somebody from the owner's team managing somebody who's in the design team, or in the construction team, but they're all working for the best outcome of the project. And working as one coherent management team.” - Fred AntunesThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Follow Navigating Major Programmes - https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigating-major-programmes/Follow Riccardo Cosentino - https://www.linkedin.com/in/cosentinoriccardo/Read Riccardo's latest at http://www.riccardocosentino.comFollow Fred Antunes at https://www.linkedin.com/in/fred-antunes-36912852/ Music: "A New Tomorrow" by Chordial Music.

Many First Nations leaders across Canada are furious about two laws just passed by both the federal government and Ontario's provincial government.The Protecting Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act and the federal Building Canada Act, better known as Bill 5 and Bill C5, are meant to fast-track large development projects and have faced similar criticisms.Many Indigenous people say the bills stomp on treaty rights and ignore the need to get their consent for development in their territories –– and this could shape up to mean some big battles across the country.Alvin Fiddler, Grand Chief of the Nishnawbe Aski Nation, a political organization that represents 49 Ontario First Nations, joins the show to unpack the controversy.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts
Ever wonder why outsourcing projects fail, and how to make sure yours doesn't blow up in your face? In this episode, Matt and Luigi sit down with serial entrepreneur Russell “Sean” Languedoc, founder of Outforce.ai. Sean pulls back the curtain on why most outsourced tech projects tank, how agency bait-and-switch happens, and why understanding cultural nuance is just as important as coding expertise. From building Uber-meets-oilfield startups to tackling the outsourced engineering black hole, Sean's entrepreneurial story is raw, hilarious, and refreshingly unfiltered. Here's what you'll hear: ✅ Why most outsourced engineering projects fail ✅ The dirty secret behind agency bait-and-switch tactics ✅ How Outforce.ai built a database of 79,000+ agencies to find the right fit fast ✅ Cultural breakdowns: Why “right away” means different things around the world ✅ Sean's entrepreneurial pivots from oil fields to ad tech to global outsourcing ✅ The power of due diligence (and how Outforce makes it foolproof) ✅ GTM Fund's role in scaling SaaS companies with real revenue leaders Who is Sean? Sean Languedoc is a Canadian entrepreneur and founder of Outforce.ai, an agency matchmaking platform that de-risks outsourced engineering. With five startups under his belt, he's obsessed with solving inefficiency, from oilfield logistics to outsourced software development. He's also a partner at GTM Fund, backing the world's top SaaS startups.
What if the key to global access to high-quality education isn't policy reform or private investment, but open source software? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Scott Anderberg, CEO of Moodle, to explore how one of the world's most widely used learning platforms is quietly transforming education in ways that extend far beyond the classroom. Scott's journey is anything but linear. From helpdesk support in Denver to leading online education efforts across the US, UK, and Australia, his international experience has shaped a clear mission: to make education more accessible, more inclusive, and more creative. His role at Moodle aligns perfectly with that goal. We discuss what open source really means in the context of education and why it continues to be misunderstood. Scott explains how Moodle's global community of developers and educators contributes everything from security-tested code to deeply localised customisations that enable learning to happen anywhere, even in places without electricity. Projects like MoodleBox and the Inventorium for at-risk students in Australia reveal the power of local innovation when built on flexible, open platforms. Scott also outlines Moodle's measured approach to AI, focusing on what delivers actual value. Rather than embedding generative tools for novelty, they've released an AI subsystem that allows the community to experiment and share what works. This model not only encourages innovation but also respects the diverse regulatory, cultural, and economic environments their users operate within. Throughout the conversation, we explore the myths that often discourage adoption of open source solutions. Security, support, and scalability are frequently raised, but Scott shows how Moodle's global ecosystem consistently challenges those assumptions. Innovation doesn't have to be proprietary or top-down. In fact, when communities co-create solutions, the results are often more resilient and more relevant. We close with a powerful reflection on the importance of diversity in both tech and education. While some organisations are becoming hesitant to talk about inclusion, Scott argues that now is the time to stand firm. Education is about connection, and you cannot truly connect people if only a narrow group is included in the conversation. Open platforms like Moodle make it possible to include everyone, not just in theory but in practice. So can open source help us rebuild education in a way that is genuinely inclusive and globally relevant? Or are there still barriers that need to be broken? I'd love to hear your thoughts. What role should open platforms play in shaping the next chapter of learning?
