Podcasts about Quad

This week on the Live to Walk Again Podcast we had the chance to catch up with two members of the E sports gaming team The Quad Gods; Richard Jacobs and Prentice Cox. We talked to the guys about starting the team and the ramifications it had on their lives from rehabilitation to competition and everything in between. We talked about the HBO documentary about their team, their friend Chris Scott who was the originator of the Quad Gods, and the impact they are having on the SCI community by showing what's possible, even after suffering this catastrophic injury. Check out the movie and connect with Richard, Prentice, and the rest of the Quad Gods at the links below!! Please listen, like, rate, review, and share the podcast!!

On Saturday, Megan broke a 15-year-old course record at Quad Dipsea! This episode shares everything about the journey in a “no secrets” style.The record was set by Caren Spore in 2010, back when Megan was playing field hockey and her biggest runs were wind-sprints. Years later, when Megan was in medical school in the Bay Area, the Quad became a bucket list event. But it never happened—a 28 mile race with 9000 feet of vertical gain and approximately three billion steps was just too much at that stage of her life.Then came the heart issues and 2 kids. This weekend, she got back on the brutal, stair-filled trails and WENT PRIMAL. We break it all down, featuring listener questions and hot takes on training, strength work, nutrition, heart rate, stairs, and so much more! Thank you all for being here for the wild ride. Come for the story about how we almost Home Alone'd the bicarb. Stay for the reminder to watch where you sit on Southwest.We love you all!

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr joins Grandi and Dibs to recap the last few games for the Warriors, Steph Curry's health update, the pending activations of Seth Curry and De'Anthony Melton and more!

Israel is under fire, but not just from rockets. As global media races to condemn IDF soldiers over split-second decisions in war zones, this week's episode of The Quad tears through the lies. From Hamas's use of human shields finally caught on camera, to the tragic deaths of two children in Gaza, the team dives into the brutal truth of urban warfare—and the hypocrisy of the West. Plus: Netanyahu's shocking pardon request, Trump's move against the Muslim Brotherhood, and the influencer sellouts being flown to Qatar while Hamas digs deeper tunnels.

Married To Medicine is back, and in a shocking turn of events, the season begins with Dr. Simone and Quad feuding. At this point, the whole cast is sick of it, but that's sort of what makes it funny. Plus, Heavenly is missing in action, Toya has allegations, and a new crop of cast members is ready to stir the pot. So far so good!

Josh Golden, Chief Marketing Officer at Quad, joins Megan Lynch as a new study in conjunction with The Harris Poll indicates that consumers raised in the digital age are craving a "Return of Touch". He says the study found that buyers like the in-person shopping experience, and that 74% of shoppers see Black Friday is just, 'hype.'

Ray White speaks to Kenneth Kgwadi, research fellow at the Middle East Africa Research Institute (MEARI), about the latest setback in Sudan’s stalled peace efforts after army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan rejected the US-backed “Quad” truce proposal, dismissing it as the worst plan yet and accusing the UAE of quietly supporting the RSF. The move highlights the deepening mistrust between Sudan’s warring sides and the international mediators attempting to bring them to the negotiating table. As the conflict continues, millions remain trapped in what has become the world’s largest displacement crisis, with both the army and the RSF convinced they can still secure a military victory. Kgwadi helps break down why diplomacy is failing, how external powers are complicating the conflict, and whether any viable path to peace remains for Sudan at this critical moment. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 491-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 26,995 on turnover of 9.8-billion N-T. The market closed slightly higher on Monday, despite investors opting to dump large-cap tech stocks before regular index adjustments by M-S-C-I went into effect after the market closed. FM touts increase in US state engagement Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung is touting an increase in U-S state engagement in Taiwan. Speaking at reception hosted by the American State Offices Association in Taipei, Lin said there has been a significant increase in engagement from U-S state governments .. … as more representative offices are opening in Taiwan and a growing number of trade missions (貿易代表團) are visiting the country. According to Lin, there were currently 26 U-S state and territorial offices in Taiwan, over half of which opened or reopened in the last three years - while Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Idaho opened offices this year. The foreign minister says he believes the trend reflects the building momentum between Taiwan and American state governments. Dust storm in China to worsen Taiwan's air quality from today And, The Ministry of Environment says a dust storm in Inner Mongolia is expected to worsen Taiwan's air quality today and is advising the public to reduce (減少) outdoor activities and wear face masks. According to the ministry, pollutants carried from Inner Mongolia and the Shandong-Shanghai corridor by monsoon winds are expected to push PM2.5 readings in northern Taiwan to 30 to 50 micrograms per cubic meter this morning … …. rising to between 100 to 150 micrograms per cubic meter in the afternoon. The center and south are set to be affected from the afternoon through to the evening. The air quality is expected to improve to a "good" or "moderate" level by Saturday. China Warns Nationals in DRC China has urged its citizens living in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo to immediately leave due to the ongoing conflict in the region. Fighting between Congolese forces and rebels has intensified (加劇的) in the mineral-rich region where Chinese firms are engaged in mining rare earth minerals. Chris Ocamringa has more from Kinshasa… Sudan Rejects Mediators' Ceasefire Proposal Sudan's top general has rejected a ceasefire proposal from U.S.-led mediators, calling it “the worst yet.” The proposal aimed to halt a devastating (毀滅性的) war that has gripped Sudan for over 30 months. General Abdel-Fattah Burhan accused the mediators of being “biased (有偏見的)”. Sudan plunged into chaos in April 2023 due to a power struggle between the military and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The conflict has killed at least 40,000 people and created a massive (大量的) humanitarian crisis. The mediators, known as the Quad, comprise the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the UAE, and have been working for over two years to end the fighting. That was the I.C.R.T.

The gloves are off. As Hezbollah restocks, Hamas digs in and Gaza faces the question no one dares answer: who will actually disarm the terrorists? In this episode of The Quad, the team unloads on everything from Hamas tunnels and Iranian funding, to South Africa's alliance with terror and the rise of anti-Israel radicals in the West. They expose fake Gaza “journalists” broadcasting from Europe, call out the hypocrisy of Western protests and dive into the dangerous normalization of antisemitism on U.S. campuses and streets. Plus, they crown this week's heroes… and scumbags.

Nick Kirby and Trace Fowler break down a major revelation from the Reds Hot Stove League Show, where President Nick Krall confirmed that Elly De La Cruz played through a partially torn quad. The guys dive into who's at fault, what it means for the Reds moving forward, and how the organization handles its young stars. They also react to Kyle Schwarber's latest comments during his visit to hometown Middletown, make their pitch for why the Reds should pursue him in free agency, and debate the importance of small-market teams landing marquee players. Plus: updates on the Reds' new TV/media deal, a look ahead to the MLB non-tender deadline, and the newly released Cincinnati Reds 2026 game times.   Go to https://OmahaSteaks.com to get 50% off sitewide during their Sizzle All the Way Sale.

Yesterday, the unthinkable happened...the UN backed Trump's bold 20-point Gaza plan, setting off a political earthquake. Hamas responded with fire and fury, anti-Israel protests erupted globally and Netanyahu added his own twist, inviting international help, but Israel's right-wing roared back with a resounding "no" to a Palestinian state. We're covering it all on today's episode of the "Quad".

And so it begins: the final run of season 3! Don't worry, it's a three-parter. The school year is coming to a close, the prom is imminent, and - you guessed it - the quad is FINALLY open! What could possible go wrong? The penultimate episode of season 3 drops Wednesday, December 3rd (or two days early on Patreon)! Back the new Slugblaster expansion: Slime, Warp, and Solder!

Segundo BAMM, o 71 % e o 67 % dos usuarios de Instagram e Facebook de entre 18 e 24 anos visitan respectivamente estas aplicacións como principaisfontes de entretemento. Respecto a os Reels de Instagram e TikTok, o 78 % afirma que recorre concretamente a estes formatos para divertirse. Pero máis aló do simple lecer, a Xeración Z tamén ten certas expectativas en que o contido sexa fácil de compartir, relevante, auténtico e personalizado. A máxima prioridade da XeraciónZ: o contido rápido ecompartible Facebook e Instagram ofrecen un maior alcance á Xeración Z en todos os mercados analizados polo estudo. Concretamente, o poder distribuír o que se consomenestas redes é fundamental para este público. O informe recolle que o 67% comparte Reels de Meta con familiares e amigos, e a 83 % espera que os vídeos curtos sexan fáciles de compartir. Istoposiciónase como o principal incentivo para ver contido de Reels. Explican que a XeraciónZ demanda contido que se poidarepostear, reproducir e discutir facilmente con amigos. Para este tipo de usuarios, o entretemento non é sóunha experiencia, senónunhamaneira de crear conexións e comunidades ao redor do contido que consomen. Os tráileres agora son Reels, os programas de TV agora son videoxogos e memes, e a IAgenerativa está a acelerar rapidamente a evolución destescomportamentos. Todo isto provoca que a interconexión entre usuarios sexa cada vez máis importante e común. En comparación con outro tipo de target, a XeraciónZ valora moito menos o entretemento programado con anterioridade. En cambio, ten moitomáis éxito a inmediatez e o entretemento a través de momentos inesperados que teránmoito compromiso durante semanas e meses posteriores. Máiscontido e máis calidade A Xeración Z quere mostrar un canal de contidos co que se senten identificados. Este tipo de consumidores presenta un apetito cada vez maior por ter máis contido. O fenómeno dos creadores de contido Os creadores de contido son unhacanle fundamental para compartir e conectar coa relevancia que tanto anhela a XeraciónZ. Cada vez triunfan máis os creadores entretidos e auténticos, e recórrese a eles para tomar todo tipo de decisións. O 73 % dos enquisadosafirmou que a autenticidade é unha característica clave que buscan nos creadores de Meta, e o 65 % afirma buscar creadores que ofrecen unha perspectiva única. Así, colaborar con creadores de contido e potenciar o seu alcance a unha audiencia máis ampla mediante anuncios de colaboración é unha forma moi eficaz de conectar coa XeraciónZ. As roldas de prensa e as estreas, así como os tráileres e outroslanzamentos, tamén brindan oportunidades para que os creadores conecten cos seus fans. «Tumblr-core» e por que as marcas deben apostar pola autenticidade O «doomscrolling», ese interminable scrollnunha contorna dixital marcada por voces de IAe compras en Amazon, xerourexeitamentonaXeraciónZ. Este grupo está a cambiar a súa relación coas redes sociais: tras anos de consumo intensivo, cada vez máisnovos están a reducir o tempo que pasan fronte á pantalla para combater a fatiga dixital, un fenómeno que afecta ao 81% da GenZ, segundo un estudo de TheHarrisPoll e Quad. Nos últimos meses evidenciouse un cambio profundo no comportamentodixital dos consumidores. Segundo un informe publicado pola firma de investigación de consumo dixitalBulbshare, o 99% dos consumidores daXeraciónZ saltará un anuncio se ten a opción, e ao redor do 63% utiliza bloqueadores de anuncios para evitalosmentres navegan na internet. A súa predisposición para facelodébese en gran medida a que sentenatafegados pola cantidade de anuncios que ven a diario. Onde encaixa esta tendencia no quebracabezas do marketing? É neste contexto de saturación que chega o renacemento do «Tumblr-core», unha idea que Erica Garman, VP de Marketing en Intero Digital, describe como «un desexo colectivo por algo máis lento e humano. Trátase de rexeitar a experiencia dixitalhiperactuada e abrazar unha versión máis honesta (aínda que emocionalmente desordenada) da vida online», asegura. Esta aposta funciona porque o contido non sente como marketing. Tres claves do «Tumblr-core» para as marcas 1. Ser auténtico e vulnerable: O perfecto é aburrido e estéril, e por iso as audiencias novas senten atraídas polo contido que parece espontáneo. 2. Crea contido que perdure: Todo o mundo optimiza para contido rápido de consumir, pero agora a xente busca profundidade. 3. Deseña para emocionar, non para converter: Non se trata de deseñar modelos cuadriculados. O contido que mellor funciona é aquel que faga sentir algo ao consumidor. Unharegra fundamental: a autenticidade éo todo No momento actual do marketing dixital trátase de apostar pola autenticidade e de compartir estratexicamente coas comunidades. Pero esta tendencia vaimáis aló dunha moda baseadananostalxia, e en cambio céntrasenunha reconciliación coa espontaneidade dos inicios da internet. A XeneraciónZ detecta cando finxes, e capturarao con captura de pantalla e comentario incluído. Ademais, engade que os consumidores buscan contido casual, emocional, íntimo e descaradamente raro.

Dive into a thought-provoking global conversation with Peter Ivany, Chairman of Ivany Investment Group, as he joins host Ashutosh Garg on "The Brand Called You." In this episode, Peter shares expert insights and candid opinions on Australia's geopolitical tightrope between China and the US, the evolving significance of rare earth minerals, and the country's defense strategies. The discussion journeys through India's emerging role in the global economy, China's assertiveness in the Indo-Pacific, and the intricate network of international alliances including AUKUS, Quad, and BRICS.Peter also offers nuanced insights into the Middle East and Israel's geopolitical realities, drawing from his deep engagement with both business and global politics. Whether you're curious about geopolitics, economics, or Australia's role in this shifting landscape, this episode brings clarity and fresh perspectives.

In this insightful podcast episode, senior U.S. defense analyst Andrew Jensen joins hosts Ray Powell and Jim Carouso to break down cognitive warfare—the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) key tactic for shaping perceptions, decisions, and narratives to achieve strategic goals without traditional military conflict. Leveraging his deep knowledge of Sino-Russian relations and information operations, Jensen explores how cognitive warfare targets human thought processes before, during, and after battles. Discover why the CCP invests heavily in these methods, drawing from its revolutionary history, and how they play out in the Indo-Pacific region, including the South China Sea, Taiwan, and beyond.Jensen defines cognitive warfare as the strategic manipulation of how individuals, adversaries, and societies think and perceive reality. Unlike the cyber domain's focus on "down code" (technical infrastructure), cognitive warfare operates on the "up-code" of human cognition to preempt and control battlefields. The CCP deploys this through its "Three Warfares" doctrine: public opinion warfare (crafting narratives), psychological warfare (influencing morale and self-perception), and legal warfare (exploiting international rules for advantage). These tactics blur together, with roots in early CCP strategies to dominate discourse and erode opposition.In South China Sea disputes, narrative warfare pushes CCP sovereignty claims like the nine-dash line to overshadow competing views, while psychological warfare boosts national pride through initiatives like tourist cruises to disputed islands. Legal warfare selectively ignores rulings, such as the 2016 arbitral decision, and enforces unilateral zones to confuse global norms and intimidate neighbors like the Philippines and Vietnam. Examples include one-sided environmental declarations in contested waters, which validate claims for Chinese audiences and heighten regional tensions.Beijing masterfully targets societal fissures in open societies, amplifying issues like U.S. military bases in Okinawa or political divides in the Philippines and Taiwan via social media bots and fake accounts to create doubt without direct attribution. In Taiwan, after the overt backing of the pro-unification Kuomintang backfired and strengthened the independence-focused Democratic Progressive Party, the CCP pivoted to covert co-optation of figures like retired officers. In Southeast Asia, these efforts aim to erode U.S. and Quad influence, positioning China as the region's natural leader while aligning with domestic nationalist narratives.Jensen recommends countering by injecting diverse perspectives into China through private media, culture, and soft power—outshining overt tools like Voice of America. For the U.S. and allies, building information resilience, avoiding adversarial mirror imaging, and cultivating critical thinking are essential to dismantle CCP narrative dominance.

The civil war in Sudan has claimed the lives of some 150,000 people.From the outside looking in, the story of the war is one of two competing generals, foreign involvement complicating matters, and mass casualties among the innocent.Now, following a massacre in the city of El Fasher, the rebels have agreed to a humanitarian ceasefire proposed by the Quad — a group of group of four countries including the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. But for how long will it hold?We discuss the latest on the conflict in Sudan and the humanitarian crisis.

The Australian defense minister said this week that China's military defense build up required a response. China's defense spending has increased 13 fold in the past 30 years, while its Navy is projected to grow by nearly 50% by the end of the decade. That last statistic would be of particular concern to Australia's defense minister, Richard Marles, who said that open sea lanes, including around China, are crucial to Australia's national security. So how is great power competition playing out in the Asia-Pacific? What is the role of Australia, AUKUS and the Quad, and can America's allies trust the US and its nuclear umbrella to be there as it seeks to disengage from the world. Host Christian Smith is with GPF Chairman George Friedman to discuss this and much more.   Visit http://www.geopoliticalfutures.com for world-class geopolitical analysis and discussion.

A version of this essay was published by the Deccan Herald at https://www.deccanherald.com/opinion/adani-s-under-fire-we-ve-seen-this-before-3783432The repeated, withering attacks on the Adani group are getting to be tiresome, partly because they usually have no merit per se; and partly because the Western habit of weaponizing the narrative is now so evident. It is basically propaganda, with the pliant media manufacturing consent to support foreign policy.In a recent column in the Financial Times, Janan Ganesh wrote: “Politics, not tech, makes the world go around”. He may have a point, but at the moment, it is the opposite: the breakneck generativeAI race, and China's near-monopoly in rare earths, are fueling both trade wars and capitulation: for example, Trump said before meeting Xi that “the G2 will be convening shortly”. TACO, anyone?I said during Biden's days in “A US-China condominium dividing up the world between themselves”, that for the Deep State, a G2 would be a convenient (short-term) thing to do. Trump apparently has accepted that a) Chinese leverage is insurmountable, b) a division into spheres of influence would work best. Sadly, it would be disastrous for the US (and the Quad) in the medium term to make China Asia's hegemon.But it is happening. As BNP Paribas puts it in a research note quoted by the Financial Times, “[Washington]... is now dealing with a peer rival capable of imposing material economic harm on it — a relatively new position for the US and a development which, at least to us, confirms China's ascendancy to global economic superpower status.”It would be entirely rational for a G2 to prevent a third great power from rising, and India is the only candidate: Brazil, Russia, South Africa, the EU are handicapped in one way or the other, e.g. geography, resources, demographics, politics. Therefore the G2 are imposing a Thucydides Trap on India: wage economic (if not kinetic) war, and balkanize it.Everybody has learned lessons from the recent past (“Confessions of an economic hit-man”, anyone?): how Japan was ruined via the Plaza Accord, how Britain lost its pre-eminence by debasing its currency, and how the US allowed itself to be systematically de-industrialized by China over the last 30 years. They are not going to let India grow, certainly not easily.Thus Adani is a proxy for India. Mark Mobius, a legendary investor, said, “Investing in Adani is like investing in India”. That is not an exaggeration, because Adani has demonstrated the capability to deliver in more than one domain, especially in ports and airports (Disclaimer: I have a small position in Adani Ports). They have operations in Colombo, Haifa (Israel) and Abbot Point (Australia), which makes them a potentially major player in global shipping, not to mention their container ports at Mundhra and Vizhinjam (Trivandrum).There have been several waves of attacks on the Adani group, the first in June 2021 alleging improprieties in investments by Mauritius-based funds; the second in January 2023 with the ‘bombshell' Hindenburg (a short-seller) report alleging stock manipulation and accounting fraud; the third in November 2024, a US Dept of Justice allegation about bribery; the fourth in October 2025 by the Washington Post alleging the Indian government induced LIC to invest $3.9 billion in Adani firms.When the Hindenburg report was publicized as the “largest con in corporate history” by pliant media like Reuters, FT and WSJ, I wrote that “The Adani Group may not be derailed by Hindenburg”. I also did a video conversation with Professor Narayanan Komerath on the topic.In fact, in a “dog it was that died” outcome, it was Hindenburg that closed shop; Adani has recovered even after a second Hindenburg report accusing the SEBI chief as well.Adani has been successful in their ports and energy businesses; they are doing well in airports; their efforts in green energy and in data centers (the new Google AI data center in Vishakhapatnam) may yet prove to be winners. Thus Adani has shown it can compete well in difficult infrastructure sectors. It is true that these need to align with government policies.Which brings whispers of ‘crony capitalism', which is rich coming from the US, where ‘robber barons' like John D Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, J P Morgan and Cornelius Vanderbilt created enormous fortunes primarily through cronyism. Have you heard the dictum “What's good for General Motors is good for America”? Boeing, the Koch Brothers, Goldman Sachs and Big Tech are current beneficiaries of State munificence.India has had its share of crony capitalists who provided citizens with shoddy goods at high prices. I don't dare name them, but you know who they are. Every country supports its national champions: Japan's zaibatsu, Korea's chaebol, China's State Owned Companies.And recently J P Morgan Chase announced it is investing $1.5 trillion in US industries such as critical minerals, pharma, semiconductors, energy, drones, cybersecurity, AI and so on. Surely this is after consultations with and a go-ahead from the US Government. Similarly, it is neither sinful nor unusual for the Indian State to support dominant, effective players.

A CMO Confidential Interview with Jim Lecinski, Clinical Professor of Marketing at the Kellogg School of Management, author, and former Google VP. Jim discusses why he believes marketers are often overly focused on using AI for productivity improvements versus business growth, the gaps between marketers and the C-Suite highlighted by recent Gartner research, and the difference between "big frontier models" and "shiny objects." Key topics include: why you should avoid "gray market AI", how to manage the 5 AI risks (privacy, accuracy, regulatory, personnel, and reputation), and the false precision that accompanies a focus on intermediate measures like Click Through Rate (CTR). Tune in to hear why he's not a fan of Cannes and how AI helped figure out a wedding invitation calling for "casual to semi-formal beach attire."What should CMOs actually do with AI right now—and how do you avoid chasing shiny objects? Mike Linton sits down with Jim Lecinski, Professor of Marketing at Northwestern's Kellogg School (and author of The AI Marketing Canvas and Winning the Zero Moment of Truth) to unpack the AI application layer: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Jim explains why CEOs-CFOs obsess over growth (not merely efficiency), how to reframe marketing dashboards around business outcomes, and his simple two-by-two for AI use cases (internal productivity vs. external value creation). We cover privacy, legal/regulatory, personnel, and reputational risks—and how to mitigate them—plus a pragmatic roadmap: center on a leading frontier model and layer vetted apps instead of stitching together fragile point solutions. Jim also shares candid takes on Cannes vs. Effies and ends with a challenge: personally build something with AI before year-end.You'll learn:* Growth over cost-cutting: aligning with CEO-CFO priorities and measuring ends, not means* The AI use-case 2×2: internal productivity vs. external, customer-facing value creation* Practical examples (e.g., apparel personalization) that lift CSAT, CLV, and revenue* The 5 risk buckets (privacy, accuracy, regulatory-IP, personnel, reputation) and guardrails* How to choose core models (GPT, Gemini, Claude) and avoid “tool soup”* Why awards that honor outcomes beat awards that celebrate activityGuest: Jim Lecinski — Professor of Marketing, Northwestern Kellogg; former VP Customer Solutions (Americas) at Google; author of The AI Marketing Canvas (2nd ed.) & Winning the Zero Moment of Truth.Host: Mike Linton — former CMO of Best Buy, eBay, Farmers Insurance; CRO of Ancestry.com.Sponsor: Better marketing is built on Quad.

A CMO Confidential Interview with Abhay Parasnis, Founder & CEO of Typeface, Board Member of Dropbox and Schneider Electronic, formerly EVP of Adobe. Abhay discusses the large gap between AI expectations and execution, the human and cultural issues in the way of adoption, and the C-Suite's responsibility to "guide the change" versus demand and monitor progress. Key topics include: recognizing and managing the 3 types of resistance; why specific targeted use cases are the best way to begin; the difference between Moore's Law and Amara's Law; and how to determine if you are a resistor or a pragmatic business leader. Tune in to hear an analogy of why AI is similar to Formula One where everyone has a powerful vehicle and winning is driven by how teams master and manage that power. AI is the biggest shift of our careers—but most companies are stuck at the “cool demo” stage. In this episode, former Adobe CTO/CPO and Typeface founder/CEO Abhay Parasnis joins Mike Linton to unpack the AI cold start problem: how to move from experiments to enterprise impact. We cover where the C-suite is pushing, why practitioners are hesitating, and how to design lighthouse wins that change the org—not just the deck.Abhay shares hard numbers (a 93% lift from email personalization in 120 days), why “watermelon metrics” derail programs, and the new reality that as agents/bots consume more content, your brand narrative must be built for machines and humans. We dig into the accountability shift from agencies to in-house teams, how to evaluate vendors without boiling the ocean, and the culture moves leaders need to close the gap between ambition and adoption.What you'll learnA practical AI playbook: pick one revenue-adjacent use case, rewire the process, measure before/after, then scaleHow to align the board, C-suite, and operators to avoid “innovation theater”Where AI drives top-line growth vs. simple cost takeout—and how to prove itSpotting resistance (job loss fears, “new thing” fatigue, agency incentives) and converting it into momentumThe right vendor questions (and red flags) to separate sizzle from outcomesWhy authenticity, governance, and legal guardrails must ship with your AI stackAbout AbhayFounder & CEO of Typeface (AI-powered personalized marketing).

Our guest, Dr. Caroline Jurisich, joins Discover Lafayette to discuss her inspiring work with The Quad, a Lafayette-based program helping adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities continue learning, building independence, and forming meaningful social connections after leaving school. A Lifelong Passion for Education and Inclusion Originally from North Louisiana, Caroline earned her bachelor's degree in communications from LSU and initially worked in that field. But her career path changed after she began working with students who had emotional and behavioral challenges. She went on to earn her Master's at UL Lafayette and taught in the Lafayette Parish School System before being recruited to help develop and teach in UL LIFE, an inclusive post-secondary education program for students with intellectual disabilities. “When I started with UL LIFE in 2014, there were about 200 programs like it in the country,” she recalled. “Now, there are 364.” The program, which began as a small pilot with local students, has since expanded to 35 students from across the U.S. who live on campus, participate in university classes, and are fully integrated into campus life. As the program grew, Caroline noticed a troubling pattern: “Once these students graduated, they secured employment, but there was still a gap in opportunities for continued learning and in maintaining the skills they'd developed.” That realization led her to found The Quad in 2023. Filling the Gap After Graduation Located in the Oil Center at 1021 E St Mary Blvd., Suite A, The Quad serves adults aged 18 to 62 who have completed high school or college-based programs and are seeking continued education, social engagement, and life skills training. “I'm a big believer in building a strong foundation before branching out,” Caroline said. “We're focused on what we call learning sessions—structured, engaging opportunities to develop practical skills without feeling like school.” The Quad offers 26 sessions a week, each about real-world abilities: Money Smarts: budgeting, banking, and financial literacy. Vocational Training: preparing for, securing, and maintaining employment. Social and Relationship Skills: navigating family, friendship, and workplace dynamics. Independent Living Skills: cooking, meal planning, grocery budgeting, and household management in their full kitchen lab. Each session is small and tailored. “We want to make sure it's meaningful for every individual,” she said. “Independence doesn't necessarily mean doing it all by yourself—it means knowing when to ask for help, knowing your strengths, and building on both.” The Quad also emphasizes community engagement. Members participate in service projects such as filling the Lafayette Community Fridge, supporting Second Harvest, and organizing toy drives. “We remind our members that to be an active, engaged part of your community, you also have to give back,” Caroline said. Creating Belonging and Connection Social isolation after leaving school is a major challenge for adults with disabilities. Caroline has seen firsthand how The Quad helps bridge that gap. “There's so much research on the impact of isolation—higher rates of depression and anxiety once individuals leave school,” she explained. “At The Quad, they have a space for connection, shared experiences, and casual practice of social skills.” Each Friday, The Quad hosts Happy Hour—a relaxed afternoon where members gather for games, conversation, and community. “Some play air hockey, some just hang out. For many, weekends can be isolating, so this helps fill that gap with friendship and laughter.” Members often form their own social groups. “We've had young men who didn't know each other before The Quad but now meet regularly to play cards or go out to lunch together. That's huge.” A Member-Focused Community

"Dissecting Compensation - A Primer on Understanding, Negotiating and Managing Pay"A CMO Confidential Interview with Richard Sanderson, the Marketing, Sales, and Communications Practice Leader at Spencer Stuart. Richard starts with the basics of salary, bonus and equity and branches out to compensation mix, the various types of equity, negotiating best practices, and the "other" elements of an offer. Key topics include: why the devil is in the details; when and how to discuss compensation; the difference between dumb luck and bad luck; and why everyone should do a "multi-year cash flow analysis." Tune in to hear why you should always read the proxy statement and the importance of being prepared to explain how you are using AI.In Part 2, host Mike Linton sits back down with Spencer Stuart Practice Leader Richard Sanderson to get tactical about comp negotiations, severance, equity, and managing your team through pay anxiety. If you're a CMO (or headed there), this episode is your field guide to securing a fair offer and stewarding compensation conversations with your org.Points of interest: • Your moment of maximum leverage: why the verbal offer is the prime time to align on comp—and how to use that window without damaging trust. • How different companies negotiate: spotting “full & fair” one-shot offers vs. multi-round negotiators—and how to work the process with your recruiter as a broker to keep heat and emotion out. • Beyond base and bonus: what's often negotiable (e.g., severance, sign-on/bridge, relocation, start date, work location, travel, even one-offs) and how to prioritize your asks. • Severance norms & timing: what policies typically look like (e.g., 6–12 months in many cases), when to ask, and why it's safest through the recruiter. • Feeling underpaid? Building a data-backed case with market signals, peer benchmarks, recruiter insight—and how proxy statements can ground internal conversations. • Underwater equity & team morale: acknowledging pain, reframing to a long-term vision, and understanding annual equity refresh dynamics (timing matters). • Do the 5-year cash-flow analysis: compare current state vs. new offer (vesting, cliffs, bridge needs) so you don't get surprised in Year 1–2. • Today's relocation reality: mortgage-rate math and why moves can be financially punitive—plan your package accordingly. • Offer etiquette & reputation risk: why turning down a written offer is a red flag on process—and why reneging after signing can follow you. • Be ready for the AI question: every senior marketing interview now probes AI use cases, impact, and CFO alignment—have crisp examples.Sponsored by QuadMarketing only works when everything works together.
