Ken Bagnall, founder and CEO of Silent Push, talks about the August National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM) on transnational cyber-enabled crime, how organizations can make “real impact” with cybercriminal disruption, and the challenges of measuring success in disrupting the cybercriminal ecosystem.

Send us Fan MailA retired Army Ranger captaining Team USA after a traumatic brain injury. A World Cup coming to Georgia that most soccer fans do not even know exists. A version of the game where the toughest calls are not about memorizing rules, but about understanding how an athlete's body moves and what “fair” really means. That's where this conversation with Dr. Skye Arthur Banning takes us, and it left me genuinely rethinking the craft of officiating the beautiful game. Skye is a Clemson professor of sport management, a veteran NCAA referee, and a leader in two of the most demanding corners of officiating: cerebral palsy football (CP football) and blind soccer. We break down what makes CP football its own sport, including seven-a-side play, roll-ins, no offside, and the classification system (FT1, FT2, FT3) that keeps competition balanced. He also explains how referees adjust decisions by reading “natural position” through the lens of an individual athlete's disability, not just a generic model of movement.Then we pivot into blind soccer, one of the most intense and inspiring forms of adaptive sport. We talk sound balls, blackout eye shades, sighted goalkeepers, guides behind the goal, and the “voy” rule that requires defenders to announce a challenge or concede a foul. If you have ever wondered how athletes who cannot see can dribble, pass, and score at speed, this will make you a believer.If this changed how you see the Laws of the Game, share it with a referee or coach, subscribe for part two, and leave a review so more people find adaptive soccer and the people building it.Support the show

John Redman, Head Men's Basketball Coach at Spring Hill College, joins the JAMODI Podcast for a conversation about leadership, confidence, relationships, simplicity, and what it really means to coach a team.After spending nearly 15 years as a college assistant and learning under multiple Hall of Fame coaches, Redman has developed a coaching philosophy centered around serving players, building trust, giving freedom, embracing failure, and keeping the game simple.Coach Redman explains why he believes a coach's No. 1 job is to build confidence, why “culture” ultimately comes down to people, and why the only word he wants hanging in his locker room is SERVE.We also dive into:

Artificial intelligence is already having an impact on the way most of us work - but it's still early days and it's hard to predict exactly which jobs will disappear completely, what new ones will be created, and when and where this will happen. It's a subject that's important to all of us - so Radio Davos spoke to the head of an AI services firm, Ravi Kumar of Cognizant, and to the head of the World Economic Forum's Centre for the New Economy and Society, Saadia Zahidi.

You are exhausted, and you keep waiting for the exhaustion to earn you something. More hours, more hustle, one more push before you finally get to rest. This week we look at a king who spent years preparing for a project he never got to build himself, and what that says about the difference between grinding through life and actually living in the presence of God. It is a message about timing, about what gets built in seasons of peace instead of seasons of crisis, and about a kind of rest that has nothing to do with how much you have gotten done.

How employees become ambassadors for ocean conservation  What happens when employees are given the knowledge, freedom and support to champion a cause they genuinely care about? In this episode of the Healthy Seas Podcast, DWS employees and Healthy Seas Ambassadors Luxshmy Harikantha and Leon Vosse share what employee volunteering looks like in practice. Through the longstanding collaboration between DWS and Healthy Seas, ambassadors receive training, educational resources and ongoing support to bring topics such as marine litter, ocean protection and individual action into schools, community activities and events within their company. Their experiences show that a meaningful employee engagement programme can extend far beyond a single volunteering day. Ambassadors can shape activities around their own interests and local opportunities, collaborate with colleagues and external organisations, and build relationships with students and communities over time. For Luxshmy and Leon, this work also provides something different from their everyday professional roles: a chance to act on their personal convictions, learn more deeply about ocean conservation and see the immediate response of the people they meet. They describe children leaving activities eager to share what they have learned and sometimes changing their behaviour, and the behavior of their families, almost immediately. The episode also explores what makes corporate volunteering feel genuine rather than symbolic. Time, flexibility and organisational support all matter, but so do trust and creative freedom. Employees need space to contribute their own ideas, take responsibility and adapt activities to the people and places around them. For companies considering an employee volunteering programme, the DWS Ambassador initiative offers a concrete example of what is possible when a business and a nonprofit organisation build something together over several years. Healthy Seas brings expertise from marine conservation, education and field projects, while employees become multipliers who carry that knowledge into new settings. The result can benefit everyone involved: communities gain access to engaging ocean education, employees find connection and purpose beyond their day-to-day work, and companies create opportunities for colleagues to come together around meaningful action. If you enjoyed this episode, please be sure to subscribe, rate and review it! This helps to boost its visibility.Healthy Seas is a marine conservation organization whose mission is to tackle the ghost fishing phenomenon and turn this waste into an opportunity for a more circular economy. They do this through clean-ups, prevention, education, and working with partners who recycle and repurpose this material. The podcast is hosted by Crystal DiMiceli.

Why Businesses Fail: Leadership, Talent & the Strategy to Win with Muhammad Qasim   What separates a business that simply survives from one that is built to grow, compete, and last? In this episode of The Hurricane H Show, Hurricane H sits down with Muhammad Qasim for a powerful and candid conversation about the realities of building and leading successful organizations.

AI coding tools are everywhere, but how do you prove they're actually making engineers more productive?In this episode of PurePerformance, hosts Brian Wilson and Andi Grabner welcome Michael Reichenbach, Platform Engineer at 1KOMMA5°, to discuss the company's journey toward more than 80% AI-written code. Rather than relying on anecdotes or hype, Michael shares how his team designed a real experiment to measure the impact of AI-assisted development.We explore the metrics they chose, why traditional DORA metrics such as deployment frequency and change failure rate were not the right indicators, and how they instead focused on "Time to Code" from ticket creation and first commit to merged pull request. Michael also explains how AI lowered the barrier for contribution across the organization, enabling even non-engineering teams to prototype and build solutions faster.The conversation also dives into the operational side of AI adoption, including AI observability dashboards, budget controls, Slack alerts, usage monitoring, and the surprising decision to intentionally limit AI spending during their proof of concept.Whether you're evaluating Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or other AI coding tools, this episode offers practical lessons on measuring value, maintaining quality, and scaling AI adoption responsibly.Links we discussedMichael's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-reichenbach/Klaus's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/langenheldt/Talk at Cloud Native Munich: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ntf0h0vFuMQ1Komm5 Website: https://1komma5.com/Kenote from KubeCon: https://youtu.be/P1phxZHJGrA?t=570&is=9DYnbK8VGorMmaXoMichael's YouTube Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn-u2xOcMlXlVweZ0aB4pu6VM6Xv6895i&si=MZ6jzF-VwIAY3HFF

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Joel Salatin to the show. Joel Salatin is a self described Christian Libertarian Environmentalist Capitalist Lunatic Farmer. Salatin describes a deeply distorted US agricultural landscape, where massive oversupply of corn and soybeans coexists with a historic cattle shortage. Half of domestic corn goes to ethanol, not food, and China's pursuit of self-sufficiency is eroding soybean exports, yet government bailouts keep older, risk-averse farmers locked into unprofitable cropping cycles. This parasitic dependence on subsidies props up unneeded production while stifling the market signals that would otherwise push farmers toward cattle, a switch he demonstrated could be highly profitable and capital-efficient. The fertilizer and energy shocks from Middle East conflicts further expose the fragility of input-dependent farming. Salatin noted that rising fuel costs drive farm bankruptcies and accelerate land consolidation into the hands of patient capital, including family offices and billionaires. He emphasized that genuine food security is not threatened by lack of production but by water scarcity and desertification driven by vegetative loss from overgrazing and continuous cropping. Instead, he champions a biological paradigm of farming that builds soil through cover crops, intensive rotational grazing, and on-farm composting to eliminate synthetic inputs. His own Polyface Farms exemplifies this model, integrating livestock, forest, and direct marketing to create a resilient, local carbon economy. Salatin contends that the path forward lies not in propping up the failing industrial system but in entrepreneurial adoption of regenerative practices that mimic nature's nutrient cycles and restore hydrological balance.

Admirers hail him as the world’s most famous farmer, the high priest of the pasture, and Virginia’s most eclectic thinker since Thomas Jefferson. Detractors label him a bio-terrorist, Typhoid Mary, charlatan, and starvation advocate. Armed with high school and college debate trophies, 16 published books, and a thriving multi-generational family farm, Salatin draws on decades of food, farming, and fantasy to captivate global audiences. Equally at home herding cows or keynoting for Wall Street CEOs, he covers profitable regenerative farming techniques alongside cultural debates like orthodoxy versus heresy. A staple on radio and podcasts for preppers, homesteaders, ecological farmers, and foodies, Salatin blends practical, can-do entrepreneurial solutions with passionate sustainability advocacy.

Imagine being born 11 weeks premature, diagnosed with hydrocephalus as an infant, and undergoing approximately 30 brain surgeries before adulthood. For Stokes Kasmeier of Killen, Alabama, that's his story. A Brooks High School graduate, Stokes has faced challenges that most of us can hardly imagine. Most recently, a shunt failure and infection led to a month-long stay in the Neuro ICU. Instead of allowing those experiences to define him, he's chosen to turn his journey into a mission of hope. Listen in as Stokes shares what it's like to live with hydrocephalus, the battles he's fought, the people who've stood beside him, and why he's leading Team Stokes in this year's Walk to End Hydrocephalus to raise awareness and support research for the more than one million Americans living with this condition.

"The very thing that you're most embarrassed to talk about at times— that may be the very story that you need to talk about." —Daniel Gomez Everyone has a million-dollar story hiding behind the parts of life they'd rather not mention — and this episode is about why those exact moments are the ones worth telling.  Daniel Gomez opens up about the season his wife's breast cancer diagnosis cracked his life open, and how that crisis became the unlikely start of his speaking career. He walks through the specific turning points that built his business: writing his first book, "You Were Born to Fly," which has generated over a quarter-million dollars in revenue; launching Sticker Shock Speaking Academy after pivoting hard during COVID; and writing "The Makings of a Millionaire Mind" to challenge the poverty mindset so many people are raised with. Then Daniel gets personal in a way most speakers won't — sharing the story of a suicide attempt at 18 and the scar he carried with shame for years, until he reframed it as a mark of grace instead of failure.  The throughline is simple and repeated on purpose: the story you're most embarrassed to tell is often the one that heals you and the one your audience needs most.

In this episode of Future Shop, Wendy Liebmann sits down with Kiri Masters, founder of the Retail Media Breakfast Club, to dissect the rapid evolution of the shopper journey in the age of generative AI. Using real-world buying experiences—from hair tools to refrigerators—they reveal how tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity are bypassing traditional retail homepages and sending consumers straight to product detail pages. This shift challenges the multi-billion-dollar foundation of modern retail media networks, forcing brands and retailers to rethink their advertising playbooks. Wendy and Kiri discuss why a low-price strategy isn't the only way to win, how Amazon's AI shopping features change the ad economy, and why keeping an agile, "test-and-learn" mindset is the ultimate key to survival.HighlightsThe Bypassed Homepage: How AI search engines send 55% of referred shoppers directly to the product detail page, completely missing traditional on-site ads.The Myth of the Lowest Price: Why convenience, timing, and brand ecosystem matter just as much as perfect price visibility in AI results.The Real Impact on Retail Media: What Amazon's Alexa Shopping (Rufus) means for the future economics of sponsored product listings.Incentives vs. Evolution: Why legacy retail media network goals might be slowing down the adoption of future-ready advertising models.Send us Fan MailVisit our website for transcripts, links mentioned on this episodes, and video podcasts.

In this episode, we get into why social media is often a top-of-funnel tool, not a direct-response one, and why that's not a bad thing once you understand how to use it right.

If planning your week, remembering the small stuff, or keeping up with admin feels harder than the actual work, you're not imagining it.This week, Skye sits down with Mike Legett, an ADHD coach and executive functioning specialist who was diagnosed with ADHD as a child. Mike studied molecular genetics at Emory before leaving graduate school when its vague, paperwork-heavy demands became unworkable. She went on to build a career as an internationally recognized swing and blues dance instructor and now helps adults with ADHD build systems that work with their brains instead of against them through the Center for Living Well with ADHD.Together, Skye and Mike unpack why ADHD isn't a lack of effort. It is often a mismatch between the person and the systems they are expected to work within.

How are global economic transformations shifting commercial real estate portfolios? In this mid-year outlook episode, host Michael Bull is joined by PwC's Global Real Estate Deals Leader, Tim Bodner, to dissect emerging sector trends, real asset convergence, and the operational impact of technology. Moving past short-term speculation, Tim reveals a market where traditional real estate sectors and infrastructure assets are converging at an unprecedented pace. With the industry adapting to a structurally permanent "higher for longer" interest rate environment, capital discipline has returned, forcing market participants to focus heavily on driving true operational efficiency. From the reshoring tailwinds of manufacturing to the evolution of a comprehensive "living theme," this conversation delivers critical, forward-looking data points for institutional and private investors alike.   Key Topics Covered in This Episode: The PwC Mid-Year Forecast: A high-level assessment of the global deals market and sector sentiment. The Office Quality Spectrum: Navigating the supply crunch of high-quality space and the economic rationale behind repurposing obsolete Class C stock into residential, hospitality, or data center spaces. The Retail Resurgence: Analyzing the strong comeback of retail, specifically evidenced by high-profile public-to-private transactions in the grocery-anchored space. Industrial & The Manufacturing Boom: How onshore supply chain shifts and automated factories are acting as continuous tailwinds for the industrial sector. The Broad "Living Theme": Shifting the investment lens from pure multifamily to a holistic approach encompassing under-supplied senior housing, student housing, and affordable residential options. AI's Real Impact on Operations: Cutting through job-market anxiety to look at how artificial intelligence is transforming real estate operating models, from automated leasing to fan and tenant experiences. Interest Rate Adaptation: Why current range-bound rates are historically normal and how the lack of a low-money "spigot" is creating healthier corporate platform strategies. Whether you are looking to deploy private capital into emerging real assets, evaluating healthcare or medical office adjacencies, or structuring a portfolio for structural transformation, this episode provides the strategic intel required to navigate the road ahead.   Connect with Tim Bodner: https://www.pwc.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/timbodner/ https://twitter.com/timbodner   Resources: https://www.pwc.com/us/en/intelligent-enterprise.html   Connect with Michael Bull & The Show: Michael Bull, CCIM Bull Realty, Inc https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelbull/   For more commercial real estate market data, sector forecasts, and video episodes, visit CREshow.com.   America's Commercial Real Estate Show is brought to you by our proud sponsors.   TCN Worldwide: Commercial real estate property management, leasing, and sales solutions across the US and globally.

Encore Episodes: Ep. 174 The Missing Step Between Vision and Real Impact. This week we're revisiting one of our most powerful conversations about the space between having a vision and actually creating lasting impact. Because purpose isn't built on ideas alone, it's built on alignment, consistency, and the courage to take the next step.And don't worry, we'll be back with brand-new episodes in just a few weeks as we prepare for Season 9. We're building something special behind the scenes, and we can't wait to share what's next with you.This week on The Zen Effect Show…This Tuesday's conversation is nourishment for the entrepreneurial spirit. Not motivation. Not grind culture. Not a highlight reel. This was a masterclass in purpose, presence, and perseverance.On this episode of The Zen Effect Show, I sit with Odidi, owner of Fresh One Kitchen and what unfolds is a grounded, honest conversation about building from why, not just will.You didn't ask to be here. You were created to be here. On purpose.You were born with a gift, and your life expands the moment you commit to locating it, honoring it, and building from it, even amongst the obstacles you may face.The moments that cracked him open and how those moments became invitations instead of endings.How obstacles refine purpose instead of erasing it.Why alignment sustains what hustle cannot.What it really means to build from your gift and let your work be an extension of your spirit.A reframe for entrepreneurs who feel tired, called, and ready for deeper meaning.Because entrepreneurship without grounding leads to burnout. Because purpose without embodiment becomes performance. And because Black creators, founders, and visionaries deserve conversations that honor soul, strategy, and sustainability, not just success metrics.This episode reminds us that building something meaningful requires more than effort. It requires presence, integrity, and trust in what you were designed to carry.This is about legacy not just income. Expansion not exhaustion. And remembering that your work is most powerful when it's aligned with who you are becoming.May this conversation nourish you. May it ground you. And may it remind you that what you're building matters because you matter.Connect Odidi and Fresh Visit Fresh One's Kitchen ⁠Place Your Online Order Here  ⁠⁠Follow Fresh One Kitchen on Instagram ⁠

See what the team at The Successful Bookkeeper has on right now → AI is moving fast, and the bookkeeping profession is squarely in its path — but not in the way most people fear. In this episode, Michael Palmer sits down with AI strategist and educator Benjamin Tasker to talk about what the shift actually looks like on the ground, which skills will separate bookkeepers who thrive from those who stall, and how to start building your own AI system without a data science degree. Chapters [00:00] Welcome and Ben's Background [03:15] From Data Science to AI Education [08:00] AI's Real Impact on Bookkeeping [12:00] Human Judgment as the Key Check [15:30] Skills That Separate Thriving Bookkeepers [21:00] Data, Systems, and AI Strategy [25:00] Opportunities to Move Up the Value Chain [29:00] First Steps for Integrating AI [32:00] Client Expectations and Transparency [35:00] Fear, Mindset, and Where to Find Ben AI Will Elevate Bookkeeping, Not Replace It Ben is direct about the headline fear: bookkeepers are not going away. "AI will help elevate what a bookkeeper does," he says. The repetitive work — transaction coding, receipt capture, anomaly detection, drafting reports — gets absorbed by AI, which frees up the bookkeeper to move from data entry to data judgment. Think less time in the books and more time coaching clients on their financial pain points. AICPA and Intuit both point in the same direction: the future of the role looks a lot more like analytics and advisory than data input. The Two Skill Lanes Every Bookkeeper Should Know Ben references the World Economic Forum's skills taxonomy, which divides skills into two tracks. AI skills — analytical thinking, systems thinking, coding — pay a premium today, but AI will eventually encroach on those. Human skills — communication, empathy, leadership — are undervalued right now but will command a premium as AI can only mimic, never genuinely replace, them. "AI can put on a facade of empathy and compassion, but it really can't have it because it's robotic." For bookkeepers, the practical focus areas are AI supervision (checking outputs rigorously), advisory thinking, digital and data fluency, and transparent client communication. The Human in the Loop Is Not Optional Ben's background in healthcare data — building algorithms to predict sepsis risk from bedside monitors — gives him a sharp view on why human validation matters. A small data error that goes unchecked can cascade into a much larger problem. "A mistake, especially for a small business owner, could cost tens of thousands of dollars." Bookkeepers already understand this: the work is either right or it isn't. That precision mindset is exactly what responsible AI use demands, and it is a genuine competitive advantage for practitioners who carry it into their AI workflows. Data Is the Oil — Build a System, Not Just a Stack of Tools One of Ben's clearest points: buying an AI tool is not an AI strategy. The framework he outlines is straightforward — start with your data (client records, call transcripts, templates, Google Sheets), run it through a system you build and control, apply AI to it, then validate and iterate. "Just because you buy an AI tool doesn't mean you have an AI strategy or even an AI business." He encourages bookkeepers to build their own processing systems rather than relying entirely on third-party integrations that can change without warning. Start small — something as simple as having AI draft follow-up emails from call transcripts is a low-risk, high-value first step. Practical First Steps and Client Communication For bookkeepers ready to start, Ben's advice is to pick a low-stakes problem, solve it, and let that build confidence. Use AI to profile prospective clients from call transcripts, automate follow-up reminders, or create a client-facing dashboard from existing data. On the client side, transparency is non-negotiable: communicate that you are using AI, explain how it benefits them, and teach them how to give better inputs so they get better outputs. "By providing inputs and encouraging your customers to use AI to show them the benefits of it, they're going to become less resistant over time." That kind of teaching deepens the client relationship well beyond what traditional bookkeeping alone can offer.
