Podcasts about Ravi

Coltrane was one of the most influential musicians in the history of jazz, from his beautiful ballads, to his more spiritual music, and his role in the forefront of free jazz. September 23 marks 100 years since his birth. We speak with his son Ravi Coltrane, who is a highly regarded tenor saxophonist—the same instrument his father played. Growing up, he was just known as Ravi, "But as soon as I picked up the saxophone I was suddenly John Coltrane's son,” he tells Terry Gross. Ravi edited a new book of photographs of his father.Later we'll hear drummer Elvin Jones describe performing and recording with John Coltrane, in a 1998 interview from our archive.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Who can best help children learn—AI or humans? In this special episode shared on behalf of Bellwether, a nonprofit transforming education for young people, Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings argues that AI could move education beyond the one-size-fits-all classroom toward individualized learning. Education entrepreneur Mike Goldstein pushes back, asking whether technology can overcome students' lack of motivation—or replace the human relationships and social connection that help them learn. First, Ravi Gupta empties his notebook on the political stories shaping the midterms, from Trump's economic troubles to the Senate races that could shift the balance of power. Special thanks to Bellwether for sharing this conversation, featuring Reed Hastings and Michael Goldstein and moderated by Andrew Rotherham. -Pre-order Ravi's new book, The Invisible List:https://readinvisiblelist.com/ -Join the Invisible Posse:https://readinvisiblelist.com/posse -See upcoming book events:https://readinvisiblelist.com/events -Interested in hosting Ravi for an Invisible List event in your city?

Welcome to The Meeting After The Meeting in the Queen City. This week Ravi, Ryan, and Walker sit down with Matt to discuss his story. Enjoy!

What if the biggest limitation in your life isn't your circumstances, but what you've been taught to believe is possible? On this episode of Better Call Daddy, Reena Friedman Watts sits down with Dr. Ravi Iyer, a physician with more than four decades of experience, for a thought-provoking conversation about human potential, authenticity, integrity, suffering, emotional wealth, family, artificial intelligence, and the future of humanity. Dr. Iyer's lifelong curiosity began as a child when he started questioning how life works—and what happens when it doesn't. That curiosity eventually led him into medicine and decades of exploring the human experience. He opens up about his complicated relationship with his father and the tension between love and fear, sharing how those early experiences shaped his understanding of integrity, possibility, relationships, and what it means to live authentically. The conversation goes far beyond medicine. Reena and Dr. Iyer explore how language shapes our reality, why our words matter, what suffering can teach us, and why emotional wealth may be more valuable than financial wealth. Dr. Iyer shares his powerful perspective on integrity: being your word, no matter what, and helping other people become more of who they are capable of being. Then they tackle one of the biggest questions of our time: What happens to truth, reality, and human connection in the age of artificial intelligence? As AI becomes increasingly influential, Dr. Iyer argues that society will need people who can help distinguish reality from misinformation—what he calls “authenticators of reality.” Ultimately, this episode asks a bigger question: How much more is possible for each of us if we stop accepting the limits we've been given? If you've ever questioned your purpose, struggled through suffering, felt limited by expectations, or wondered how AI will change what it means to be human, this conversation will make you think.

Political outrage is a constant part of modern life, from social media to surges of global protests. But what actually changes? Why do so many structural issues seem deeply entrenched despite high levels of voter turnout? Anton Jäger has a term for this mismatch: hyperpolitics. He joins FP Live to explain the paradox of politicization without institutionalization, why right-wing parties maneuver this era more successfully, and whether the Democratic Socialists of America party is a sign of a new political order.  Plus, Ravi shares his read on why the United States canceled its joint military exercises with South Korea.

“Send Coach John a message”Another fired up post that I found and it reminds me of so many things. It comes from  Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and the simple message is:  “Be someone who still tries.” The details of the post are here:  “Be someone who still tries.  After failure, frustrations, and heartache - be a person who musters up the courage to try and believe that good things are yet to come.”   A big part of this is realizing every single human has failures, frustrations and heartache!  It's up to us to choose what we will do with those things.  Just like yesterday's message, this one too reminds us to keep going and to keep caring!!  I had a great conversation with my good friend Joe D. (former boss) - and one of the things we spoke about was the old saying, “do not grow weary doing good.”   Joe gave me a copy of “The 10 Commandments of Leadership” from Dr. Kent M. Keith, and one of them as this: #2 “If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.  Do good anyway.”  Keep trying my friends! I know I need to keep it up too!   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the controversy surrounding Jon Ossoff's comments about Trump staffer Natalie Harp, the backlash from conservatives, and the White House's furious response.

Ravi Gupta unpacks a volatile primary season, where ideological insurgents are gaining ground, independents are being sidelined, and both parties' youngest voters appear increasingly drawn to political extremes. He also examines Alaska's surprising electoral possibilities and a radically reshaped Democratic presidential calendar designed to test candidates across a broader coalition. Then, acclaimed novelist and former PEN America president Dinaw Mengestu explains why he resigned over the organization's approach to Israel, Gaza, and the boycott movement.

AdTechGod sits down with Ravi Viswanathan, Strategic Partnerships Lead at Google, to discuss his journey from software engineering to partnerships, more than a decade at Google, and how AI could reshape advertising. They explore generative creative, new ad-supported business models, consumer value exchange, and Ravi's approach to building trusted partnerships. Takeaways: A technical background can create credibility and deeper trust in strategic partnerships. AI's impact extends beyond productivity into creative generation and entirely new advertising experiences. Advertising could increasingly subsidize services such as mobile plans, hardware, and other everyday costs. Successful ad-supported models require a transparent and fair value exchange with consumers. Great partnerships begin by understanding the partner's problem rather than focusing on what you want to sell. Curiosity, technical fluency, and trust can lead to stronger client relationships and long-term career growth.

They analyze Tony Evers' late intervention, the chaotic primary, Crowley's matchup with Republican Tom Tiffany, and what the race could mean in one of the nation's biggest swing states. Kander and Gupta also check in on Trump's latest claims that “things are going great,” his bizarre handling of the Qatari jet story, and reports of a secret aircraft switch during his return from Turkey. Plus, they discuss Trump's cuts to national park funding, the White House push for new charges over the Reflecting Pool, AOC's comments on “woke 1.0,” and Alito staying on the Supreme Court for another term.

“Send Coach John a message”Another gem of a reminder came across my wire this morning and it comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and the reminder was this:  “It's time to get more aggressive about the life you want.”  The time is now.  We are all running out of it and it's later than we think.  Have that conversation with the person in the mirror as to what this is made up of.  The little things that only you know about that have to do.  Amazing things that you can start to work on towards your health, finances, relationships, etc.  Keep taking little but aggressive steps toward the things you want to make your life be all about.  Also, take the aggressive steps towards removing the things, people, thoughts, words we speak to ourselves, etc., that keep us from building the life we want to build.  Lot's of work to do - but totally worth it.

They analyze what the results mean for Democrats in key battleground states, the strategic challenges emerging in races across Wisconsin, Texas, Arizona, and beyond, and how both parties are positioning themselves for 2026.

Ravi Soin has clear advice for anyone starting a security career today: don't be a risk manager, be a trust architect. In this episode, Steve Moore sits down with Ravi—CIO and CISO at Smartsheet—for a builder's-eye conversation on the modern CISO role, AI as an accelerant on old sins, and why the CISO who still says “no” is already obsolete.Ravi traces his path through Sun Microsystems, RealNetworks, a decade at Microsoft, and 15 years at healthcare software leader Edifecs to his eight months at Smartsheet. He explains what it means to think about security the way builders do—understanding where corners get cut under sprint pressure—and why that inside-out perspective changes how you defend.Steve and Ravi dig into how Smartsheet is deploying agentic AI across the enterprise: a centralized knowledge graph tied to every corporate system, Claude-powered threat models, DAST and SAST scans, SOC triage on the 80% phishing baseline, and MCP-connected asset and license management.They name the old culture directly. It was an era of risk registers where lows and mediums were quietly punted, tens of thousands of known vulnerabilities were accepted as compensating- control fiction, and time-to-exploit was assumed to be forgiving. Both push back on the panicked reaction to the Mythos disclosures, arguing AI has simply closed the exploit window on the trash environments were already ignoring.Ravi's core advice: build trust into the system, think about security through the customer's lens, and treat AI agents as first-class identities under the same IAM principles you apply to humans. He and Steve close on how incident response must be re-fit for the agentic era, why auditability is the non-negotiable foundation of AI governance, and why community remains the sharpest source of learning.Key Topics• Thinking about security like a builder, from the inside out• Why the CISO who still says “no” is already obsolete• Deploying agentic AI across engineering, SOC, and corporate systems• MCP-connected asset and license management• The old risk-register culture and how the industry was gambling• Why the Mythos reaction missed the bigger story• Advice to your 21-year-old self: be a trust architect• Building security through the customer's lensGuest BioRavi Soin is the CIO and CISO at Smartsheet, where he leads global IT and security strategy for the AI-enhanced enterprise work management platform. He brings more than two decades of security and IT leadership, including 15 years as CIO and CISO at healthcare software leader Edifecs and product roles at Microsoft, RealNetworks, and Sun Microsystems.

One ruptured bicep, two heartbreaking losses, and a week of political madness leave Ravi reflecting on health, grief, and what it really means to help people. He channels that grief into a new community project, "The Book of Ordinary Lives,” honoring everyday people with the kind of thoughtful obituaries usually reserved for the famous. Then he digs into the “Democratic establishment” that calls itself insurgent while promoting candidates wildly out of step with working-class voters—and dodging accountability when they fail. Republicans don't get a pass either, especially when their leaders preach about protecting women and children while standing by members facing terrible allegations of abuse. ––––––––––– Find show notes - ⁠https://thelostdebate.substack.com/⁠ Find Lost Debate ◾Subscribe to our YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@LostDebate ◾Get email updates - https://thelostdebate.substack.com/ ◾Follow us - @thebranchmedia Find Ravi Gupta ◾Pre-Order Ravi's new book, The Invisible List -  https://readinvisiblelist.com/ ◾Join the Invisible Posse -  https://readinvisiblelist.com/posse ◾Read Ravi's Substack - https://realravigupta.substack.com  ◾Follow Ravi- https://www.instagram.com/ravimgupta/

The Strait of Hormuz may be the chokepoint of the moment, but it's actually not even the one that's most concerning to Eddie Fishman, the author of Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare. He explains why U.S. dollar dominance, Chinese critical mineral control, and the semiconductor supply chain are more potent in terms of how much they can impact geopolitics—and how countries and companies might weaponize them.  Plus, why is China following such a radically different artificial intelligence strategy than the United States?

“Send Coach John a message”I found this post and all the parts to it, as a big-time reminder for me to keep looking to get better.  It comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and a powerful connection is this:  “Your competition isn't other people.  Your competition is: your bad habits, your distractions, your insecurities, your procrastination, your lack of discipline, your fear and your ego.”  There is a lot of truth in this for me as I found out this morning. Let's just say I was reminded about the simple fact that I have a lot to work on. I'm just glad I'm acknowledging that fact and I'm willing to do something about it.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

On today's episode, we welcome Ravi Prasad, Co-Founder of Almora Botanica — a luxury, natural and sustainable skincare brand bringing together Ayurvedic wisdom, Himalayan botanicals, adaptogens, green chemistry and modern science. After decades working in Ayurvedic medicine and wellness, including leading Himalaya Wellness Company, Ravi saw a major gap in skincare: too many products treat symptoms, not the root cause. In this episode, Ravi shares why he made the shift from Ayurvedic medicine and supplements into skincare, and how Almora Botanica is taking a “pharma to farm” approach rooted in the Himalayas. He breaks down the idea of researched Ayurveda, why Indian beauty is finally gaining momentum in the luxury market, and how the brand's Sapta Complex is challenging the perception that Ayurvedic oils have to feel heavy or greasy. We also talk about COSMOS NATURAL certification, green chemistry, the “If you won't eat it, don't wear it” philosophy, and why today's consumers are looking more closely at what they put on their skin. A must-listen for founders, operators, and anyone interested in the future of beauty, skincare, wellness, sustainability and how ancient traditions are being validated by modern science.   Are you interested in sponsoring and advertising on The Kara Goldin Show, which is now in the Top 1% of Entrepreneur podcasts in the world?

Jason Kander breaks down Donald Trump's escalating military conflicts, as surprise Iranian attacks, deadly Caribbean strikes, and growing criticism from Republicans—including Sen. Thom Tillis—raise new questions about Trump's leadership and Pete Hegseth's handling of the Pentagon. He examines the administration's expanding war strategy, the human cost of its foreign policy, and why critics say Trump's approach is making America less safe. Kander also dives into Trump's expanding immigration crackdown, as ICE ramps up airport arrests and new data-sharing agreements spark fears over civil liberties and government surveillance. Plus, he discusses Republicans' renewed attacks on Dr. Anthony Fauci and whether Trump is escalating the fight to satisfy his most extreme supporters.

“Send Coach John a message”I just found a couple of reminders for myself and for you, my favorite listener - the first one comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) who shares this powerful lesson and reminder for any human being going through “stuff”... which means all of us.  The reminder is this:  “Who we become in the process is the real reward.”  It's connected to this thought from Brad Stulberg, The Way of Excellence - “There is no greater illusion than thinking the accomplishment of some goal will change your life.  What will change your life is who you become in the process of going for it.”  What an outstanding observation and truth.  I find it overwhelmingly emotional to grab onto this truth! The sooner we do connect to it the better off our life experiences will be. The second amazing find for me this morning, I'll share with you tomorrow. (sorry for the teaser). I'm just looking to make sure I do this episode the best that I can, which means one thing at a time my friends.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Ionatan and Ravi give their thoughts on every show they're watching this summer! They discuss a stellar third consecutive season of anime, from the return of 'Mushoku Tensei' and 'Saga of Tanya the Evil' to a pair of Science Saru adaptations in 'The Ghost in the Shell' and 'Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia' to a collection of noteworthy productions including 'Goodbye, Lara' and 'The World Is Dancing.'

The robot you imagined as a kid is now something you can actually own. On today's episode, New Yorker writer Stephen Witt reveals that the humanoid robots of childhood cartoons and science fiction are real—and already for sale. He takes Ravi inside the race to build machines that can walk, learn, fold laundry, and potentially transform the global workforce. But their bodies are advancing faster than their brains, and teaching them basic human skills requires staggering amounts of data. Could putting more robots into the world make them all smarter—and are we ready to welcome them into our homes? ––––––– Stephen Witt's book The Thinking Machine Find Lost Debate ◾Subscribe to our YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@LostDebate ◾Get show notes and email updates - https://thelostdebate.substack.com/ ◾Follow us - @thebranchmedia Find Ravi Gupta ◾Pre-Order Ravi's new book The Invisible List -  https://readinvisiblelist.com/ ◾Join the Invisible Posse -  https://readinvisiblelist.com/posse ◾Read Ravi's Substack - https://realravigupta.substack.com  ◾Follow Ravi- https://www.instagram.com/ravimgupta/

Welcome to The Meeting After The Meeting in the Queen City. This week Ravi, Ryan, and Walker sit down with Molly to discuss her story. Enjoy!

The Honourable Ravi Parmar is British Columbia's Minister of Forests, Deputy Government House Leader and the Member of the Legislative Assembly for Langford–Highlands. One of the youngest people ever appointed to the provincial cabinet, he is currently the youngest MLA serving in the British Columbia Legislature. Born and raised in Langford, Ravi is the son of parents who immigrated to Canada from India in the early 1990s. His parents worked in health care and experienced significant employment uncertainty while raising their family. Those early experiences helped shape Ravi's belief in the importance of secure employment, strong public services and governments that deliver meaningful results for working people and their communities. Ravi's commitment to public service began at a remarkably young age. While attending Belmont Secondary School, he helped lead a student campaign calling for new schools to address the West Shore's rapidly growing population. That advocacy contributed to the construction of a new Belmont Secondary School and Royal Bay Secondary School. Ravi went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of Victoria. In 2014, at just 20 years old, he was elected as a trustee with the Sooke School District Board of Education—becoming one of the youngest elected officials in Canada. Two years later, he was selected as board chair. During nearly a decade with the school board, including six years as chair, Ravi helped oversee the largest expansion of public education in the district's history. This included thousands of new student spaces, the construction of several schools—including PEXSISEṈ Elementary and Centre Mountain Lellum Middle School—and the development of an innovative post-secondary campus in downtown Langford. His work was guided by a determination to ensure that public infrastructure kept pace with the needs of one of British Columbia's fastest-growing communities. Ravi's connection with former Premier John Horgan began when he was still a middle-school student and invited the local MLA to speak to his class. That encounter developed into a lasting mentorship and helped inspire Ravi's journey into public life. He later worked as a constituency assistant, campaign manager, senior ministerial advisor and chief of staff within the Government of British Columbia. Through those roles, Ravi contributed to several major provincial initiatives. He helped support the development of the StrongerBC Economic Plan following the COVID-19 pandemic and worked on British Columbia's Mass Timber Action Plan, gaining valuable experience in economic development, forestry policy, innovation and the challenges facing resource-dependent communities. In June 2023, Ravi was elected MLA for Langford–Juan de Fuca in the by-election held following John Horgan's retirement from provincial politics. He was re-elected in the 2024 provincial election as the MLA for the newly established riding of Langford–Highlands. Before joining cabinet, Ravi served as Parliamentary Secretary for International Credentials. In that position, he led the implementation of British Columbia's International Credentials Recognition Act, helping reduce barriers and create clearer, fairer pathways for internationally trained professionals seeking to put their skills and experience to work in the province. Premier David Eby appointed Ravi as British Columbia's Minister of Forests in November 2024. Ravi specifically requested the forestry portfolio, recognizing the sector's deep importance to workers, families, First Nations and communities throughout the province. As minister, his priorities include restoring confidence in the sector, improving access to fibre, encouraging investment and value-added manufacturing, advancing reconciliation with First Nations, strengthening forestry-dependent communities and helping British Columbia remain a global leader in sustainable forest management.   

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down Donald Trump's deepening Iran crisis after more U.S. service members were killed, his administration's shifting justification for the conflict, and growing questions about whether the White House has a coherent strategy. They examine Trump's escalating rhetoric, the political fallout at home, and what the latest developments mean for America's standing abroad. Kander and Gupta also dive into the right-wing meltdown over Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, the latest Democratic infighting over progressive influencers, and how Republicans continue to prioritize culture wars over real issues. Plus, Congressman Adam Kinzinger joins the show to discuss national security, Trump's leadership, and what Democrats should do next.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the deadly consequences of Trump's immigration agenda as his administration resumes aggressive ICE traffic stops following fatal shootings that have intensified scrutiny of its enforcement tactics. They analyze Trump's escalating conflict with Iran, his repeated reversals on foreign policy, and the growing fears that his unpredictable decisions are dragging the United States toward a wider war. Kander and Gupta also dive into Todd Blanche's confirmation hearing, the controversy surrounding his handling of the Epstein investigation, and what his nomination says about Trump's effort to turn the Justice Department into a tool of personal loyalty. Plus, they discuss Pete Buttigieg's warning that democracy itself must remain at the center of the political fight and Trump's latest attempt to rewrite the story of the 2020 election.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the stunning collapse of Graham Platner's Senate campaign as Democrats move swiftly to hold their own nominee accountable, drawing a sharp contrast with Republicans' continued embrace of Donald Trump despite years of misconduct allegations and attacks on democracy. They analyze the fallout in Maine, the search for a replacement candidate, and what the scandal reveals about the different standards governing America's two major parties. Kander and Gupta also dive into Trump's latest foreign policy chaos, as he launches renewed military strikes on Iran, lashes out at U.S. allies, and injects fresh instability into an already volatile region. Plus, they discuss the rapidly evolving Michigan Senate race, Trump's growing influence over the Republican Party, and the political battles that could define the next election.
