With a career spanning Estee Lauder, Warner Bros. Discovery, Prudential, and Citi, Alia has led in strategy, operations, and innovation—proving that disability and faith are not barriers but strengths.   Alia didn't realize she was blind until she was diagnosed in college, thanks to parents who instilled confidence and adaptability. She also made a pivotal choice in her career—to wear a hijab, deepening her connection to her Muslim faith. Though both blindness and belief come with stereotypes, Alia sees them as value-adds in leadership and teams.   Her insights: We are capable – People with disabilities develop adaptability, resilience, and unique problem-solving skills. Diversity strengthens teams – Multi-generational, multi-background, and multi-ability teams drive stronger ideas and outcomes. No ceilings on possibility – Instead of limiting others, empower them to pursue their goals.   Alia's journey is a powerful reminder: Own your identity, use your voice, and lead with confidence.   Thank you, Alia, for sharing your inspiring stories!   Get full show notes and more information here: https://analizawolf.com/episode-102-strength-in-blindness-and-faith-with-alia-abbas

 What if you could look into a crystal ball and see exactly what your family's long-term care needs will be in the future?   In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Lily Vittayarukskul, the brilliant CEO and co-founder of Waterlily, an AI-powered platform that uses over 500 million data points to help families plan for the financial and emotional realities of aging. Lily is a World Economic Forum Top Innovator, a patented inventor, and someone who turned a heartbreaking personal experience into a mission-driven company that is disrupting the way we think about long-term care.   As someone with two parents in their 80s, this topic hits close to home for me—and I know it will for many of you too. We talked about everything from how she built Waterlily and earned the trust of major investors to the importance of planning so families aren't torn apart in times of crisis.   These are the highlights of our conversation:   - Waterlily Predicts Long-Term Care Needs with AI: Waterlily uses over 500 million data points to help families predict their future long-term care needs based on lookalike families. It's like looking into a data-driven future mirror.   -A Personal Family Crisis Sparked the Mission: Lily was only 16 when a long-term care event involving her aunt devastated her family emotionally and financially. That experience inspired her to shift from a career in aerospace to founding a company focused on preventing that same pain for others.   - Bold Pivot from B2C: Originally aimed at consumers, Waterlily pivoted to serve the financial services industry, empowering advisors to have better long-term care conversations with clients. This B2B strategy became the core of their scalable, subscription-based model.   - Built for Impact, Not Just Speed: Instead of rushing a product to market, Lily spent two years building a strong technical and data foundation before launching. That decision paid off with major partnerships, including Prudential and several Fortune 100 companies.   - Culture of Trust and Smart Scaling: Despite impressive growth, Lily keeps her team intentionally lean, leveraging large language models and automation to scale efficiently. She emphasizes trust and alignment with all at her company as the foundation for sustainable success.   About the guest: Lily Vittayarukskul, Waterlily's CEO and Co-Founder, started college at 14, and by 16, she was venturing into a career in aerospace engineering as an intern at NASA. However, that same year, her life took a dramatic turn when her Aunt, who raised her and was a cornerstone in her first-generation immigrant family, was diagnosed with terminal stage colon cancer. The ensuing financial and emotional devastation, exacerbated by their family's lack of preparedness, tore permanent rifts in her family, and compelled her to pivot her career from aerospace to a lifelong dedication to building solutions in healthcare.   Fueled by personal tragedy and a resolve to forge change, Lily graduated from UC Berkeley with a bachelor's degree in Genetics and Data Science and led product and engineering at multiple startups before founding Waterlily.   Connect with Lily: Website: https://www.waterlily.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lily-vittayarukskul/   Connect with Allison: Feedspot has named Disruptive CEO Nation as one of the Top 25 CEO Podcasts on the web, and it is ranked the number 6 CEO podcast to listen to in 2025! https://podcasts.feedspot.com/ceo_podcasts/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allisonsummerschicago/ Website: https://www.disruptiveceonation.com/    #CEO #leadership #startup #founder #business #businesspodcast  Learn more about your ad choices.

“We love because He first loved us.” – 1 John 4:19Those six words beautifully capture the foundation of our relationship with God—we can only love and give because He first gave to us. Today, Sharon Epps joins us for a fascinating discussion on the generosity of women in the Bible.Sharon Epps is the President of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi's parent organization. Kingdom Advisors serves the broad Christian financial industry by educating and equipping professionals to integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise.The Women Who Provided for JesusLuke 8:1-3 records an often-overlooked detail:“Soon afterward, He went through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the Good News of the Kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him, and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's household manager, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their means.”This passage tells us three key things:These women had been healed by Jesus—physically, spiritually, or both.They supported Jesus' ministry financially out of their own wealth.Their generosity was a response of gratitude for what Christ had done for them.One of these women, Joanna, stands out in particular.Joanna: A Woman Transformed by JesusJoanna was the wife of Chuza, King Herod's household manager. Thus, she likely had significant wealth and lived a royal lifestyle. Yet, despite her status, she was weakened when she met Jesus. She needed healing, and her first act of generosity was actually receiving—not giving.This is a powerful reminder: Before we can give, we must first receive.What Does This Teach Us?Money alone doesn't solve all problems—Joanna had wealth but still needed Christ.Generosity starts with receiving—not just financially, but in all aspects of life.God uses people from all walks of life—even a woman in Herod's court—to fund Jesus' ministry.Receiving Before We GiveJoanna's story reminds us of an important biblical truth: we can only give what we have first received.1 Corinthians 4:7 asks:“What do you have that you did not receive?”The answer? Nothing.Everything—our breath, skills, love, wisdom, and financial resources—is a gift from God. We receive, then we give, creating a virtuous cycle of generosity that mirrors God's own generosity toward us.Three Key Questions to Consider:What have I received from Christ that enables me to give?Is my giving safe or sacrificial?What does my giving reveal about how well I've received from God?These questions challenge us to shift our perspective—to see giving not as an obligation but as an overflow of what we have already been given.The Motivation Behind Joanna's GenerosityWhy did Joanna give so generously? Gratitude.Later, in Luke 24, we find Joanna at Jesus' empty tomb. She was among the women who encountered the angels, remembered Jesus' words, and ran to tell the apostles.Her journey shows a progression:She received healing from Jesus.She financially supported His ministry.She proclaimed His resurrection.Her generosity wasn't just about money—it was about devotion. She gave because she loved Jesus deeply.Lessons in GenerosityAs we reflect on Joanna's story, here are some key takeaways we can walk away with: 1. Generosity is a JourneyOur relationship with Christ fuels our generosity. The deeper our love for Him, the more naturally we want to give.2. We Must Receive Before We Can GiveWe often think about generosity in terms of money, but we also receive:Life itself—the breath in our lungs.Skills and abilities—talents that allow us to work and earn.Love from God and others—which shapes our generosity.3. Giving is an Act of WorshipJoanna's giving wasn't transactional—it was an expression of extravagant love for Jesus. She gave freely because she had freely received.As we reflect on Joanna's story, let's ask ourselves:Do I truly recognize that all I have is from God?Am I giving out of safety or sacrificial love?Does my giving reflect how well I've received from Christ?These questions can reshape our perspective on generosity, helping us move from obligation to joyful, faith-driven giving.Joanna's story reminds us that generosity is not about wealth—it's about the heart. As we receive from Christ, we are called to pass it on—whether through finances, service, or sharing the gospel.May we, like Joanna, be conduits of Christ's love, reflecting gratitude, devotion, and generosity in all we do.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a term life insurance policy that I got when we renovated our house a few years ago.

Rob and Annabel explore Japan's regulatory framework, its evolution from the "financial Big Bang" of the 1990s and the flourishing reinsurance sector that has emerged as the country aligns with international standards such as Solvency II and the Insurance Capital Standard (ICS).

Advances in medicine and healthy living mean that more and more people will live to be 100. But just because their bodies can last doesn't mean their bank accounts will keep up. Retirement, and especially a long retirement, takes careful planning and sophisticated financial literacy. It's impossible to know what the future economic world will look like, but accounting for the unexpected and finding good guidance is essential. In this talk sponsored by Aspen Institute supporter Prudential Financial, two financial planning experts lay out the options for saving later in life and spread the word on the importance of preparation. Penny Pennington is the managing partner of Edward Jones and Rob Falzon is the vice chair of Prudential. Barron's economic reporter Megan Leonhardt moderates the conversation. aspenideas.org

Episode 241: When is mastering the basics a differentiator? In an industry where complexity is the norm, Prudential Group Insurance has made a counterintuitive strategic choice. While many companies chase innovation through digital transformation and enhanced features, Prudential has discovered that operational excellence—the "absence of noise"—can be a more powerful differentiator. Abhii Parakh and Mike Estep reveal why group insurance demands a fundamentally different approach to customer experience than high-touch industries like hospitality or travel. For Prudential, success depends not on bells and whistles, but on excelling at the foundational elements: reliable execution, friction-free processes, and consistent delivery. "The absence of noise is a tremendous win," Mike emphasizes. "That's not the long-term goal for us. But if you don't get those things right, you won't get the chance to get to the nirvana state where you are separating yourself from the competition because of the experiences you created.” Learn how Prudential delivers seamless experiences across its ecosystem of brokers, employers, and employees by prioritizing simplicity and operational excellence. Discover why, in complex B2B2C environments, flawless execution of core processes can be a more powerful differentiator than feature innovation.

It doesn't need to be rocket science. There's beauty in simplicity and intuitive experiences that are void of friction.” [00:08:31] “The absence of noise is a tremendous win.
