On this week's show, I'm speaking directly to our partner, Vincere.Vincere has sponsored the RAG Podcast for the last three years, and I have a lot of love for the brand and a great relationship with the business. I'm really grateful for the support they've given me and our industry.However, about a year ago, they were acquired by The Access Group which is the fastest-growing and largest software company in Europe. After they were acquired, the two founders, Bernie Schiemer and Eloise Sutton-Kirkby, exited almost immediately. Since the acquisition by The Access Group, there has been murmurings across the industry, and their reputation has taken some damage. So I interviewed Nick Thomson, the Commercial Director for The Access Group's recruitment division. And Kristy Gilham, the Product Director at Vincere. She's been with Vincere pre and post-acquisition. We had a really candid, hard-hitting conversation on your behalf. I asked them what the hell they've been doing and why there's so much negative press regarding support and functionality - and what they are going to do about it.Are they actually going to make changes?In this episode, we break down

Today we're joined by Shreya Rajpal, founder and CEO of Guardrails AI. In our conversation with Shreya, we discuss ensuring the safety and reliability of language models for production applications. We explore the risks and challenges associated with these models, including different types of hallucinations and other LLM failure modes. We also talk about the susceptibility of the popular retrieval augmented generation (RAG) technique to closed-domain hallucination, and how this challenge can be addressed. We also cover the need for robust evaluation metrics and tooling for building with large language models. Lastly, we explore Guardrails, an open-source project that provides a catalog of validators that run on top of language models to enforce correctness and reliability efficiently.

What you'll learn in this episode:   How Kristen decided to start the next phase of her career at Scotland's University of Dundee Why metalsmithing and jewelry attracts people who like a challenge How creating jewelry can be like creating an opera What young jewelry artists can learn by entering competitive exhibitions Why curiosity can help artists overcome shyness and fear   About Kristin Beeler   Kristin Beeler joined the faculty of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design at the University of Dundee, Scotland UK in 2023.   From 2002-2023, she was Professor of Art and Coordinator of Jewelry and Metalwork at Long Beach City College in the Los Angeles, California area. She is native to the Blue Ridge Mountains of central Appalachia and is a second generation graduate of historically interracial and craft-centered Berea College receiving a BFA in Crafts and Applied Design with a minor in Philosophy (1989). Her Master of Fine Arts in Jewelry from the University of Arizona (1994) was followed later by post graduate studies at Alchemia Jewellery School in Florence, Italy (2011) and  Atelier Rudee, Bangkok, Thailand (2013).   Solo exhibitions include Integumentum 2021 at Baltimore Jewelry Center, Baltimore, Maryland, Archive of Rag and Bone at Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum, Phoenix, Arizona (2016) and Beauty and Other Monsters at Velvet da Vinci Gallery, San Fransisco, California (2007).   Additional Resources: Kristin's Website Kristin's Instagram Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design The Jewellery and Metal degree programme at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design Instagram  Long Beach City College Metalsmithing IG:@lbccjewelryandmetalwork https://thestrawfactory.com/ IG:@straw.factory   Photos Available on TheJewelryjourney.com   Transcript:   After two decades as a professor at Long Beach City College, artist and jeweler Kristin Beeler is heading back to school herself at Dundee University in Scotland. Although any international move comes with fear, Kristin has relied on a sense of curiosity to keep pushing her work froward. She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about why certain artists are drawn to metal; how she tries to create context through her work; and why some of the most important lessons she learned were from submitting her work to competitive exhibitions.

If you haven't heard part one, please head to TheJewelryJourney.com.    If you look at Kristin Beeler's jewelry, she looks like she's a risk taker, but that's not really true. She has followed a well-worn path, but she also has risk in her work. She received her master's and then became a professor of art at Long Beach City College. She teaches both metal arts and jewelry. She is the Coordinator of Jewelry and Metalwork for Long Beach City College. Welcome back.    Did you have to do a lot of looking to find a school like that in the U.S.?   Kristin: It was a school my mother went to, so I was second generation.   Sharon: Wow! What are your thoughts about metalwork versus jewelry arts? I saw that you did some gloves in Tyvek. It was hard to pin down what you do because it's very esoteric. It has a lot of meaning. I kept asking, “Why this?”   Kristin: The work I do is more driven by an idea and trying to build a full context for an idea. The jewelry is part of that context. It's a bit like going to the opera. I love opera, and I love it because it's a full context. The stage is opera. The music is opera. The singing is opera. The costuming is opera. It is all of those things, and those things come together to produce this one idea. I wouldn't say my work is theatrical, but I think it has some operatic qualities when it works well. It's not meant to follow one particular pathway because, as I said, not everything is a piece of jewelry. Some things are meant to manifest through other things, and jewelry is a part of that.    Sharon: I see that you've been in a lot of competitions, where your jewelry is judged. Do you have trepidations? I can't imagine doing anything like that.   Kristin: It's really hard at first. It's one of the hardest things to get my students to do because when you do it, the risk of failure is huge. You're going to be rejected, but it is such good practice. That's what being an artist is about: trying to find the place where your work fits, and if your work isn't fitting into the place you want to go and into the trajectory you want, figuring out how to make it go into that trajectory. It makes shifts to what you're working on.    I haven't done it in quite a long time; most of what I do now is invitational work, but I do find it interesting to enter competitive exhibitions. It does a couple of things. Usually if I'm applying for a competitive exhibition, it could be because I want to get my work in front of a juror, or it's in a location where I want to go, where I have friends. Or it's a theme I like and I find interesting. But I had to go through a period of doing it and becoming O.K. with someone saying no and doing it anyway. When I was in graduate school, I was told, “Be prepared to wallpaper your room with rejection letters. Get rejected as much and as often as you can because it is a skill to build up and not let that stop you.”    Sharon: Are you ever rejected if it's invitational?   Kristin: If it's invitational, it's because they've seen my work and they want something in particular.   Sharon: That must have been a big hurdle in the beginning. To be rejected must have been a big hurdle.   Kristin: It probably was. Looking back on it now, it's funny. I was silly to be so worried about that. I think I was lucky that my work was pretty readily accepted. I think I did quite well. Even going into this new career—I'm basically going into a second career—there are moments when I think, “I don't know if I can do this. What was I thinking?” and I can go back to those moments previously where I tried to do something where uncertainty was guaranteed, or I didn't know how it was going to work out. I can say, “Well, I did that, and it worked out O.K.”   Sharon: Did SNAG help you? You were on the board of SNAG. Why don't you tell us what it is?   Kristin: The Society of North American Goldsmiths is the organization for the field. I have worked with SNAG since 1999 or 1998. That was when I first started volunteering for them. I started working with SNAG because I would go to the conferences at the encouragement of my graduate faculty, and I was kind of terrified. There were a lot of people there whose work I would see in publications or I'd hear about them. I was quite shy, so the easiest thing for me to do was offer to volunteer for something. If I don't know what to do, I'll work, so volunteering was a perfect thing to do. It was intuitive.    It wasn't planned at all, but I met so many interesting people by volunteering at the conferences. They would say, “Oh, would you be able to do this?” and I would say, “Well, yeah,” and then I would meet more interesting people. I don't know that it was a great expansion time for my work because there are only so many hours in the day. When you're putting your energy out for one thing, it's not necessarily going in the other direction. So, I don't know that I was accomplishing as much in my studio, but I was meeting really, really interesting people and having some really interesting conversations. I think that that was one of the most valuable things about being involved with SNAG, just getting to know the community in a deep way.    I served on the board of SNAG for five years between 2001 and 2005. I've had some job with SNAG almost every year since then, some small thing, helping with exhibitions. I have worked with the Diversity, Equity, Access and Inclusion Committee. I have worked with the Educational Endowment Committee. Currently I serve as trustee for the SNAG Educational Endowment Scholarship Trust. That is my primary role with SNAG at this point.   Sharon: Do you recommend it to your students as a way to learn about the field?   Kristin: Always, yeah. That and listening to Jewelry Journey.   Sharon: I don't know about that. I was thinking about you listening to other people's opinions. I once heard someone say that they felt they had to know who the artist was before they could wear the piece of jewelry. I just felt like, “Well, is it pretty? Do I like it?” and that sort of thing. That's why I would be intimidated.   Kristin: It was interesting to humanize all of those things. Often the work can be much richer once you have a better idea of the person who made it. It can alter your perspective on pieces to know who made it. Sometimes you might not want to know, but I think one of the great blessings of this field is that it is full of generous and warmhearted people who are so willing to share what they know.   Sharon: Do you consider yourself one of those people willing to share what you know?   Kristin: I hope to be, yeah.    Sharon: I'm struck by the fact that you say you were shy, because you don't come across that way at all. Does that present itself in your reluctance in going abroad and when you started teaching? Was that a concern?   Kristin: Yes, I was pathologically shy, but more than that I was curious. I think curiosity trumps those reluctances if you allow it to. Being curious takes you outside of yourself. You can become involved in other people's stories and other people's interests. When you change that reflection, then it's much easier to get to know people and enjoy them. As I said, my go-to was to do some work and find other people who are doing work and just help them. Carrying the load together is always a good way of lifting yourself up as well.    When I started teaching full-time, I spent probably the first several years pretending to be someone who is comfortable in front of a classroom. I don't know that I was, but I could pretend to be someone who was. I think going to Scotland, now that the challenge is there, it's exciting and terrifying by turns, but I'm so curious. I always want to know what happens when you do this or what happens when I do this. Pulling into that curiosity is a life raft.   Sharon: Do you have a history with the country? Did your family come from there? Did you visit it a few times?   Kristin: No, I had never been to Scotland before I interviewed, but my family has lived in Appalachia for about 400 years.   Sharon: Where?   Kristin: Appalachia.   Sharon: Oh, 400 years, wow!    Kristin: Yes, so they have been there for a very long time. Many people from that area came from Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland, so Scottish history was something we grew up with because of this strong connection to Scottland and Ireland. The music that was local to where I grew up came straight from Scottland. The local dances, the crafts in particular. Things that had been brought 400 years earlier were still practiced, and a lot of those skills came from Scottland.    Sharon: Do you lie in bed at night, or are you grocery shopping and an idea comes to you and you start on it?   Kristin: For my studio practice?   Sharon: Yeah.    Kristin: There are probably two tracks to that. One is that it's all a long inquiry that never stops. It‘s one little thing that leads to the next. It doesn't have a beginning or an end. It's kind of all in the middle and ideas roll in one direction or another. Pieces may not finish, but I'm committed to finishing bodies of work. I'm really terrible about it, actually. In terms of solutions—I think maybe what you're asking about is solutions to particular problems—those are things that revolve as well. Sometimes I'll see something, or I'll be making something that doesn't make sense in the moment, but I'll just hold onto it. It's like I'm looking for an answer to a problem. It's like, “Oh, there it is in this book or in this drawer of samples I made.” If I waited for ideas to come to me, I'd be waiting a really long time. I have to go out and hunt for them. They're constantly generating, but the solutions to problems plug in at different locations on a very long timeline.   Sharon: For instance, on some of the projects, whether you're invited or you decide to enter a competitive situation, once that's done, do you say, “O.K., that's nice. That's done. Now, I'm on to the next thing,” or is it done?   Kristin: These pieces often cycle in and out. Unless a piece is purchased, they all belong to this collection of pieces that are shown in different iterations. For group exhibitions, there may be between two and four pieces that are shown together, but for solo exhibitions, there's a larger body of work. Every time I show that body of work, it may have different pieces in that collection that are shown.   Sharon: What happened to the gloves that are made of Tyvek? How did you come up with the idea of Tyvek?   Kristin: Oh, I love Tyvek. It is such a fun material. Certain materials just didn't appeal to me, and I have all of these Tyvek mailers. I would get things in the mail, and they come in those Tyvek mailers. I saved all these mailers for years and thought, “I'm going to do something with them.” Then I realized you could just buy it. I had kept it because it has this beautiful, papery, silky quality to it which is really nice. It's virtually indestructible until it's not, so it has this strength but this vulnerability as well. I like that about it.    From time to time, I have made gloves over the years because I think they're interesting objects. There's such a strong relationship to the body and what we do with our hands. Those gloves in particular were designed with this young woman in mind who had this scarf. I already said I love opera, so having these opera-length gloves, I used a vintage pattern for that. I had her scarf embroidered on these very delicate but strong gloves that were kind of ethereal. That was perfect for my purpose.   Sharon: That's interesting. I saw the pictures, but I wasn't sure what it was. That's very interesting. Thank you very much for being with us today. Good luck in Scotland. We'll be reading about you.   Kristin: Thank you so much, Sharon. This was so fun.   Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website.

Although any international move comes with fear, Kristin has relied on a sense of curiosity to keep pushing her work froward. She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about why certain artists are drawn to metal; how she tries to create context through her work; and why some of the most important lessons she learned were from submitting her work to competitive exhibitions. Read the episode transcript here.    Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to The Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the first part of a two-part episode. Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it's released later this week. If you look at Kristin Beeler's jewelry, she looks like she's a risk taker, but that's not really true. She has followed a well-worn path, but she also has risk in her work. She received her master's and then became a professor of art at Long Beach City College. She teaches both metal arts and jewelry. She is the Coordinator of Jewelry and Metalwork for Long Beach City College. She has been at the college for at least seven years, and this is her last term there.    She is not afraid to put herself and her work out there, as evidenced by the many exhibitions and jury situations she has been in. She's not afraid for others to judge her work, but her biggest risk is upcoming. That is to be a lecturer in the metal arts department at the University of Dundee in Scotland. We'll hear more about this today. Kristin, I'm glad to have you on the podcast.    Kristin: I'm so glad to be here, Sharon. Thank you.   Sharon: It's great to have you. First, what are your trepidations about going across the world?    Kristin: It is an adventure for sure. I've actually been at Long Beach City College for 21 years. This was my 21st year, so it's been quite an adventure. It's been an amazing time to spend with the students and an impressive faculty at the school. It's been an incredible privilege, and it's also given me the opportunity to develop a really strong program. Our jewelry entrepreneurship program is only a few years old, but we've been able to grow exponentially because of it.    It's interesting going to Scotland. I'll be joining the faculty of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design and the Jewelry and Metal Design Program. It's an amazing faculty there. They're one of the top design schools in the U.K. They have an amazing track record, and the faculty has also been working together for a long time. Here, I know where the funders are. I know where the suppliers are. I know where the galleries are. There, it's all going to be new. I don't know the funders. I don't know the suppliers. I don't know the metrics well enough. All these things are going to be so sparkly and new, so I hope they're patient with me.   Sharon: Did they come to you, or did you go to them?    Kristin: It's an interesting story. I have put quite a lot of time into the program at Long Beach City College. As I said, it had grown exponentially, and a lot of that growth happened during the pandemic. There was a lot of extra work that had to be done, and last fall, I took a term off to recover. I was a bit worn out. I was really burned out. So, I took a term off and had some time to think about what I wanted to do with myself after teaching for 20 years. I realized that what I wanted to do was go back to school. I was a bit jealous of my students because they were having such a good time. I'd always wanted to get a Ph.D., so I started talking to programs in the U.K. and EU because there are no practice-based Ph.D.s in our field in the U.S. I was looking for programs that I might be able to start either while I was still teaching and going into semi-retirement or after I retired.   I had had a wonderful conversation with Sandra Wilson at the University of Dundee. They have a wonderful Ph.D. program in jewelry. There are a number of programs they have practice-based Ph.D.s in, and I had a wonderful conversation with her. She was very supportive. I was getting ready to start putting together an application when they posted a full-time lecturer research position, so I thought, “Well, maybe I'll try that.” I applied for the position and didn't hear anything back for quite a long time. The university processes have their own pace. I think it was a Friday when I got an email saying, “Can you come and interview next Thursday?” There wasn't even time to ask if I could do a Zoom interview. I talked to my family, and they said, “Just go.” I left on Tuesday, interviewed on Thursday, and they made their first offer on Friday and I accepted it. It was serendipitous that I happened to be looking at Sandra Wilson's Instagram. I'd go for days and weeks, months without looking at Instagram, and I happened to look on the right day and see the post about the position opening. Now I'm surrounded by packing boxes.   Sharon: Wow! When you say a practice-based Ph.D. or a practice applied Ph.D., what does that mean and how is it different?   Kristin: Normally we think of Ph.D.s as being text-based. You present a dissertation that is all textual, and you have a verbal defense of the Ph.D. A practice-based Ph.D. can have other formats. Mine will likely have a text component, but also the practice, the work we do in the studio is part of the work for the Ph.D. That is a huge portion of the research. It requires very particular methodologies for approaching that research, but it's an approach that isn't very common in the U.S. It's much more common in the EU, U.K., Australia. I can't remember if there are any in Asia, but it's not found that much in the U.S., a practice-based Ph.D.    Sharon: Yeah, you think of a Ph.D., at least the way I know it from the U.S., as “piled higher and deeper.” You're going to be in a big city. It's mostly what happens.   Kristin: It's a wonderful acknowledgement of the actual work and contribution that artists make as opposed to, “Anybody can do that.” When you start to follow a line of inquiry to a very deep level, it allows so much more to unfold. You are able to connect with people who are doing similar work in different fields. I will be talking to people in the life sciences department. They have one of the top life sciences departments in the U.K., so I'll be able to work with them to do some overlap. It provides some really interesting opportunities for study, which I'm very excited about.    Sharon: How long would it be if you walked in the door and were accepted? How long of a program is it?   Kristin: It's difficult to say. Three to five years would be normal, I think. As I'm teaching, it's actually a part of my job to do that research. I'd be similar to someone who's in the lab doing research for a research lecture. So, I don't know how long. We'll see.   Sharon: I had trouble pinning it down because you're described as professor of metal arts and jewelry arts, applied design and an artist, so I didn't know. What are you, in a sense?   Kristin: I would hate to have to pick one of those things. We're very multilayered creatures, aren't we? I love making tacos, but I'm not someone who only makes tacos. I think that as makers we have our preferences, but just depending on what someone's interests, inclinations or curiosities are. I primarily work in jewelry because it is a method of approach, a method of inquiry, but what is interesting to me is the relationship to the body, and I particularly enjoy the history of it, its attachments. It has a lot of layering that I find really interesting, but when I get bored or stuck on a problem, I'll make a garment or I'll do drawings. It's not part of my practice to only do one thing. Not everything is a piece of jewelry, even though that's what I am primarily known for.   Sharon: How does that fit with metal arts?   Kristin: My training is in metal. Understanding both the properties and the way metal works is an interesting challenge. It's what I teach the most; working with metal and how to master it and develop skill bases. In my own practice, metal is a part that is foundational, but not complete.   Sharon: Do you see a difference in the way the mind works for the students who are more interested in jewelry versus those who are interested in metal? For instance, how do you differentiate? Is there a way the mind works that's drawn to metal versus a different mind for somebody drawn to jewelry arts or a different area?   Kristin: A teacher that I had a long time ago said, “People who are drawn to metal are people that like a little pushback. They like a little resistance.” Metal has its own logic, and you have to understand and follow that logic. Clay, for example, has a lot of process. It's very technology driven, but it also can be very intuitive. Painting can be very intuitive. You can go backwards and forwards. With jewelry, there's a massive skill base that is required technically, so the students who like the idea of working with metal in particular love that challenge. They are turned on by that challenge. They light up when something goes right, and sometimes they even light up when things go wrong because now they have more information.    For students who are attracted specifically to jewelry, often that is a gateway. They're attracted to the idea of jewelry. Sometimes they're attracted to the idea of being able to actually make a living in the arts. One of the important things that jewelry has to offer is that you can actually support yourself with your design and art skills. Sometimes, once they get to know the properties of working with metal, they may love it or they may not. Often, they do. Often, they're really compelled by it. Sometimes they have to find their own way to work with materials that have more flexibility in the processing. You're right. They are different mindsets in that way.   Sharon: It seems like there would be.   Kristin: You're absolutely right.   Sharon: You've been there for 21 years at the college. Did you pick up your master's and your Ph.D. while you were teaching, even though some of it's an applied Ph.D.?   Kristin: I will be starting my Ph.D. in Scotland. That's part of that plan. I did my Master of Fine Arts at the University of Arizona. That program has closed now. Michael Croft was my primary graduate advisor. Michael is a very gifted educator, fierce when we were in graduate school, but incredibly knowledgeable. He's not someone whose work you're going to hear a ton about because he doesn't aim for the spotlight. He's a quiet guy, but he made a name for himself in the 70s. He's a very highly respected jeweler and educator.    His partner is Eleanor Moty, who you may know of. Eleanor Moty was a consistent presence. Even though she was at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, she was a consistent presence in Tucson, where our graduate program was, so she had an influence there. Arizona at the time had four graduate programs in jewelry and metalwork. There was a very strong jewelry and metalwork community in Arizona up until the early 2000s. All of those have either changed or closed in the meantime. So, my inculturation to the jewelry and metalwork community was formed inside, literally, a crucible of the desert of Arizona. There was a very strong community.    In some ways, my undergraduate education was equally or possibly even more formative than my graduate education. I went to Berea College in Berea, Kentucky. It was a small, private, liberal arts college that is one of the very few work colleges in the U.S. That means every student who goes there works for the school and, in exchange, pays little or no tuition. It is one of the top schools in that region, particularly in the south. It's an amazing place.    There are a couple of things about it. It was founded by abolitionists in 1856 and since that time has had a history of coeducation. It was the first coeducational college in the south. Since that time, that has been its mission: to educate everyone equally. It has also been one of the very few schools that has its own crafts program. The students actually work in college-run craft industries. There is a huge ceramics industry; there's a huge weaving industry. They closed the jewelry industry right before I got there. The work is made by students, produced by the school and sold by the school, and it's sold nationally. It has a new designer residence program. Stephen Burks has been the first designer in residence. He is connected to Berea through Design Within Reach and a chair manufacturing company—   Sharon: Herman Miller.   Kristin: Herman Miller, thank you. The program has a tremendous amount of reach, and that program had a huge influence on how I think about craft and community.   Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website.

On this week's show, I'm excited to be joined for the third time by DSP (David Spencer-Percival!).The founder of Life Science People, a global life science people provider based in the UK with offices in the US and soon to be opening in Europe. They are just under three years old with 100 staff.The first time David was on the show, they were on their way to a hundred people - they were flying. The second time, earlier this year, David talked about how they'd lost a lot of money in the downturn at the end of last year - £800,000 in three months. The market just wasn't great. Now, he's back on the show to share that they've just secured £4 million in investment funding by Silchester Partners. This discreet, private hedge fund now owns 20% of his business and the £4 million is going to fuel their growth for the next 10 years to help them get to 1000 people. In this 30 minute episode, we cover:

Part 2 with Ben Wallin and Dan Cox on growing their business to 31 recruiters and being no longer reliant on their own billings within 24 months of trading!On this week's episode, I'm excited to be joined for the second time by Ben Wallin and Dan Cox, who was previously on the show 12 months ago in August 2022. Ben and Dan are the founders of Edison Smart (previously Edison Search).When I interviewed these guys in 2022, we talked about how, in just over a year, they billed £1.7 million in revenue, grown to just under 20 staff, and they were on this absolute mission called Project 2024.So a year later - have they achieved even more growth as predicted?In this episode we find out how:

On this week's episode, I'm excited to be joined by an old friend, Joe Curtis. Initially, Joe was the founder of a recruitment company called 3Search, which then led to building a bigger business called 11 Investments. 11 Investments is a series of niche recruitment organisations that work together and share a common goal with a central operational function. Joe's role as founder is to bring more people into the portfolio, both people who want to start their own recruitment company and also people who want to work for the portfolio.

On this week's show I'm sharing one of the most powerful episodes I've ever recorded with a lady called Janette Marx. Jeanette is the global CEO at a company called Airswift, a huge workforce, staffing and solutions organisation headquartered in the US with 62 offices worldwide, 900 employees, and 7500 contractors that they support. Jeanette's been with the business for nine years and in the recruitment industry for over 20 years. She previously worked for Adecco and was leading a huge operation for them across the US.What I love about Jeanette is her mindset and how she's done what she's done while going through so much!She's an author of a book called Together We Rise, which she co-authored after the pandemic with 16 other female leaders in the staffing industry globally.She shared how she's grown her career as an entrepreneur and become a global CEO as a female whilst having a baby and running a business. Everything she's done to get to where she was at the beginning of 2023. And then we talked about the impact of finding out that she had stage two breast cancer at the beginning of March this year and how she dealt with the news.Because the book she wrote was about dealing with crisis moments and stress and how to stay calm, she managed to put everything in the book into practice and between the beginning of March and the end of April, she was back to work, cancer free.She went through a series of different operations, she built a team of doctors around her and she took control of a life or death situation and has come back to work with a different sense of appreciation for life. She's still incredibly motivated to give back, build a business and help her people, but she also has calmness, which has come from getting through something so serious.In this episode there were moments where I had to take a deep breath and as I was getting quite emotional myself. I'm just inspired by such an amazing woman who and what she's achieved. And I think anyone out there who's dealt with serious illness themselves or seen their family members or friends go through it can resonate.And anyone who's at the helm or wants to be at the helm of a larger business, you can also resonate with with different things we discussed.

We're baaack.After a tiny hiatus because of surgery and some personal stuff. We are together for the second half of this chaotic double episode.How often do we truly understand the demands and challenges endured by medical professionals, especially amidst a landscape fraught with sexism and racism?The challenges of being in a relationship with a medical professional are often overlooked. In this episode, we shed light on the heart-wrenching waiting game that partners endure for quality time, and the internal struggles of characters like Tuck, caught in the vortex of these complex dynamics. Then, we take you through an insightful discussion on the racism existing within the medical profession, embodied by RAG.As we wrap up, we delve deep into the emotional struggles, the intricacies of friendship dynamics, and the striking narrative about Izzy defying the "Be a shark" trope. Join us as we journey through this intense episode, giving you a whole new perspective on the captivating world inside Seattle Grace. Support the showThis podcast is recorded on stolen land of the Wurundjeri people. We also acknowledge that medical practices of the traditional owners of these lands were developed and used way before the medical practices discussed in this show, they are also continued to be used today.

I'm super excited to be joined by Alexander Antoniou, the founder of AL Solutions, a Life Sciences specialist recruiter headquartered in London, just over five years old, with 25 staff.Now, the reason I wanted to interview Alexander is because he's not only grown AL Solutions, but he's also built a portfolio of five other businesses that he does the back office support for. They share infrastructure, and he's basically set other people up.Alexander is only 25 years old!He got into recruitment at 18. Having said to his parents, who wanted him to become a lawyer, that he was going to have a gap year and just work in sales to save some money for university. He then became the top performer at a local life science recruitment firm, and two and a half years later, at the age of 20 years old, he went out and set up AL Solutions, which stands for Antoniou Life Science.Alexander is an incredible guy with incredible energy. He's so young and has achieved so much.He looks at the business with energy, passion, and a level of simplicity. I believe we could all learn from the way he runs his business.You're going to enjoy this episode if you are a recruiter looking to start your own business in the future or if you're looking to grow and you want to think a bit clearly and a little bit more simply about the whole solution. __________________________________________HoxoAre you spending hours on LinkedIn and cold outreach and want more business coming to you over your competition?

In our conversation with Atul, we discuss the process of training large language models in the enterprise, including the pain points of creating and training machine learning models, and the power of pre-trained models. We explore different approaches to how companies can leverage large language models, dealing with the hallucination, and the transformative process of retrieval augmented generation (RAG). Finally, Atul gives us an inside look at Bedrock, a fully managed service that simplifies the deployment of generative AI-based apps at scale.

Did you know that it's the 150th Anniversary of Levi's 501 jeans? We are betting that no matter how old you are right now as you listen to this podcast, you probably went through an era of wearing the iconic 5-button-fly, unisex classic style. AMIRITE!? These jeans date all the way back to 1873. The original 501 jeans by Levi's have stayed true and timeless for well over 150 years. And they're not stopping anytime soon. From rebels to rockstars to factory and millworkers and farmers alike, 501 jeans have been a staple for everyone.  In fact, 501 jeans just get cooler and hipper, the older and more worn they appear.  Throughout their history, there was no social class, gender, religion, or creed that 501's did not fit. So, when you wear 501s, you are not pigeonholed into any demographic other than being part of Levi's revolution - and what a revolution it is.  The style is still true today to the original 501 core values of price, craftsmanship, and durability. And it's now coupled with Levi's modern sustainability efforts. We mean, you literally cannot destroy these things! THE HISTORY: 501 jeans are the oldest style of the Levi's brand. Back in the late 19th century miners and factory workers needed a pant that was sustainable enough to withstand the harsh elements, in addition to keeping their shape and durability over time.  Levi Strauss was a Jewish immigrant who sailed to New York City in pursuit of the American dream from Bavaria, Germany. He joined his family in the dry goods business where he was selling what was called “waist overalls,” which was the name for denim pants. He then worked with a tailor from Reno, NV who added copper rivets to reinforcement to the pocket corners. From there, they were awarded a patent for the process of adding the rivets and started to manufacture them in San Francisco, where Strauss was living.  Eventually, ladies and children's styles followed, but it wasn't until the 1960s that baby boomers adopted the name “jeans.” LEVI's TODAY: Today, the company boasts a collection of over 400 styles and rinses (colors). The Levi's company is using its birthday to bring forth its efforts on becoming more sustainable and use less energy and water to produce and dye their products. Expect to hear about the release of the plant-based 501s that are made from 97% renewable resources. Now, we don't even know what that means, but we're gonna find out because Holly is gonna get a pair and we are going to learn about this company and its practices! #Yay! HOT TIP:  Please look up all of the work Levi's has done to help make the planet a better place! We didn't know how extensive it has been, and now that we do, we love them even more.  WHAT JEANS ARE BEST FOR YOU? Obviously: FIT IS FIRST. Not a price point.  The 5 Factors: the rise, stretch factor, support, rinse, and price. Don't go by inseam. Most of the time, jeans will be too long. (Note: check out Holly's Pinterest board for all of the recommendations on this episode at: https://pin.it/7fyf8ip)   THE RISE: The rise is the distance from your crotch up through your seat to the top of your waistband. So, if you go in between your legs, it is at that point where all of the panels connect. The rise determines where the pants sit on your body and can create, or alter, where your perceived waistline is.  You will see “high rise,” “low rise” and everything in between. Based on your body type, the “rise” you choose depends on the fit you are looking for.  The Brands Holly Recommends:  Mother:  https://www.motherdenim.com/collections/denim  L'Agence:  https://lagence.com/collections/denim Frame:  https://frame-store.com/collections/denim-women Paige:  https://www.paige.com/women?filters=%7B%22PRODUCT%20TYPE%22:%5B%22DENIM%22%5D%7D&page=1 Rag and Bone: https://www.rag-bone.com/womens/jeans/  Guess:  https://www.guess.com/us/en/women/apparel/jeans-and-denim/view-all/  NYDJ:  https://nydj.com/collections/nydjs-women-jeans  Wranglers: https://www.wrangler.com/shop/women-jeans Levi's:  https://www.levi.com/US/en_US/clothing/women/jeans/c/levi_clothing_women_jeans HOT TIP:  Do not get hung up on what style is in style. If skinny jeans are your best fit, wear them forever. What jean fit your body best never go out of style.  WHAT TO WEAR WITH JEANS:  Any. Thing.  Jeans are the new black. They are high fashion. They are low fashion. They are high-low fashion. That is what makes them fabulous and acceptable in most places these days.   And, you can never have too many, or too few. But they are a staple, and you need to have some.  Style them with everything from cowboy boots to sandals. Dress them up with a nice top and jacket or be fun with a rock-n-roll T-shirt.   BOTTOM LINE: Style your jeans up: Accessorize, accessorize, accessorizes. A nice handbag, killer shoes, and statement jewelry can transform any jean into a stylish outfit.   Go forth and have fun with your jeans- send us a pic of how you styled them so you can get a shout-out!

On this week's show, I am joined by Louise Campbell, Global Head of Learning and Development at Robert Walters.Robert Walters is a global, household name in our sector, with over 4000 employees around the world.Louise is based in Ireland. She was the MD of their Irish business for over 20 years.Recently, she reinvented herself and moved into L&D wth the goal of making a difference across the global team. I love understanding Louise's mindset. I've personally worked with Robert Walters for three years. They've just signed with us for another year, and we're working with over 500 of Robert Walters's consultants on their personal brand.Louise has been instrumental in both bringing us on board, and also working with us to ensure that training is delivered well across the organisation.L&D is normally something that's under-invested in and not very well managed in recruitment organisations. What I think is so special here, is that Louise went from being an MD of the usiness to then using all of her knowledge for L&D. So she's not just a trainer, she's a business leader, and we talked about her intrapreneurial journey through Robert Walters, why she loves the organisation, why she's been there for over 20 years, and everything in-between. If you are looking to develop a strong L&D function in your business and grow organically by building the best team possible, you need to listen to this episode.__________________________________________Hoxo MessageAre you spending hours on LinkedIn and cold outreach and want more business coming to you over your competition?

Today's guest signed her first publishing deal at the astonishing age of 19 and has since become one of the most successful and sought-after songwriters in the music industry. She has hits with Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris, Sheryl Crow, Miranda Lambert, Lady Gaga, Yola, Dierks Bentley, Rag'n'Bone Man, Lady A, Kelly Clarkson, Little Big Town, and Labrinth, to name a few. She has successfully released her solo work and joined forces with Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, and Amanda Shires as The Highwomen, releasing their critically acclaimed self-titled album in 2019. After scoring the record deal she released her exceptional sophomore album Pins and Needles via Fantasy Records. With all of this hard work and talent, it is no surprise that our guest has also been recognized by the ACM, CMA, CMT, and NSAI Awards for her prodigious and versatile contributions to songwriting. She received a Grammy award for Best Song Written for Visual Media for Lady Gaga's, “I'll Never Love Again,” from A Star Is Born, and later a Grammy for Country Song of the Year for "Crowded Table" by The Highwomen. Her work inspires artists of every genre and generation. And The Writer Is…Natalie Hemby! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I'm thrilled to have Kevin Frater join me for the first episode of Season 7 of The RAG Podcast! I usually interview founders and leaders of recruitment firms on the show, but this week we're interviewing our first unemployed guest. Kevin is an absolute legend!He was part of the Frank Recruitment Group (FRG) for over 10 years and left in January of 2023. He started off in a role where he was doing client development, having spent four and a half years with the Allegis Group.He soon became the fixer. This guy would go to different offices and effectively turn them around.He started in London, then went to Singapore, and then he spent six years in Germany where he walked into a team of 12 recruiters and six years later left with over 180 staff, with one of the highest performing teams in FRG globally. He went through two events with the business where he realised some wealth and he finished up at the start of this year to take some time out before starting his next opportunity. In this episode we talk about:

On this week's show, I was joined by Stuart Mitchell, the founder of Hampton North, a specialist cybersecurity search firm, headquartered in the US with 3 staff. He's based in Connecticut, just between Boston and New York.He launched the business in September 2022, so we're only nine months into his journey.I wanted to interview Stuart because he's built an incredible personal brand. I have never worked with Stuart, so I can't take any credit, but the way he works is exactly how I believe the modern recruiter should.It's what I teach thousands of people to do all over the world. He started investing in his personal brand in 2017 and by 2019 he was at Stott & May on the west coast of America. He was bringing in business all over the world for his teammates and he started to realise the power of personal branding and inbound on LinkedIn. He then teamed up with RecruitHub and launched his own agency. After nine months, he has billed over $ 1 million which is incredible! He's now at three people and he wants to build a company that is fit for the modern era - a remote first business. All of the people who worked for him have approached him, and they're already top billers elsewhere. So, anyone who's looking to start an agency, you're going to learn a lot. Anyone who's already running a business, you could learn a hell of a lot from the way he's running his.__________________________________________Hoxo MessageAre you spending hours on LinkedIn and cold outreach and want more business coming to you over your competition?

Tobit, triste y anhelando la muerte, ora a Yahvé para que le conceda una buena muerte. Sarra, hija de Ragüel, fue insultada por la muerte de sus maridos previo a que se unieran a ella, acusada de ser ella la asesina. Sarra anehlaba la muerte y oró a Yahvé pidiéndole una buena muerte. Yahvé escuchó las súplicas de sus siervos y envió a Rafael para atender las plegarias de ambos y curarlos de sus inquietudes...

On this week's show, I'm joined by James Emmett, CEO and founder of Hanover Group. Having recently interviewed Anthony Pitt, President at Hanover USA, I was really excited to welcome James, the original founder, on to the show.James started the business 27 years ago and has now grown to an organisation of over hundred people across multiple international locations including both the UK and USA.The business has not only grown organically, but also has a clear acquisition strategy too. In this episode, he talks at length about his buy and build strategy.This is going to be super important for you to listen to if you are the type of organisation that wants to grow and potentially do this through a similar method. If you're a small recruitment organisation that might actually be interested in being acquired in the future then we also cover the pros and cons to the whole process.__________________________________________Hoxo MessageAre you spending hours on LinkedIn and cold outreach and want more business coming to you over your competition?

Roheel is the managing partner and co-founder of Forsyth Barnes. I interviewed his partner, Scott, a few years ago during the pandemic and have watched their journey ever since. These guys are just pushing 80 staff across Nottingham, London, and New York, and they specialise in exec search and leadership roles across three different sectors: FinTech, sports, and eTail, which is retail carried out via the Internet.Forsyth Barnes was founded in 2015 by two guys who knew each other before and had a mission to grow something big with scale, and they've thrown everything at it.In eight years, they've achieved more than they expected, now they're looking at their next phase of growth - to IPO with a £60 million valuation. They've just given away 33% of the business to the staff, and they are growing like crazy.So, the RAG is all about growth and everyone looks at it in a different way. These guys have got a clear path that I can't wait to share with you.So if you are looking at growing, an exit, or an IPO, then this is the episode for you.Hoxo MessageAre you spending hours on LinkedIn and cold outreach and want more business coming to you over your competition?
