#HRhelpdesk #IndiaHRGuide #MandeepSingh, with 25 years of HR expertise, Mandeep Singh explores why trust is one of the most cited core values in organisations. In this episode, he breaks down the pillars that make trust real and actionable in the Indian workplace. Reliability tops the list, keeping promises and delivering on commitments. Respect follows, recognising employees for their beliefs, skills, and individuality. Empathy adds depth, acknowledging social obligations and personal priorities beyond work. Authenticity ensures transparency, free from hidden agendas or pretence, while safety guarantees an environment where emotional, physical, and professional wellbeing is protected. These pillars collectively shape trust into a lived value, not just a word on paper. Tune in to understand how organisations can embed trust into their culture and why it remains the foundation for meaningful employee engagement.

Is the Christmas story based on blind faith—or solid historical evidence? In this special Christmas episode of Bible and Theology Matters, Paul Weaver explores how biblical archaeology directly affirms the historicity of the Christmas story. From ancient Babylonian ration tablets to the massive stone architecture of Herod the Great, archaeology confirms the people, places, and political realities described in the Gospels.

Prices keep climbing, patience keeps thinning, and the smartest car on the lot might be the one that's two or three years old. We sit down to explore why a crowd-pleaser like the VW ID. Buzz is slipping from the U.S. launch calendar, how an $80,000 price tag changes the conversation, and where EVs still struggle to deliver everyday convenience for people without home charging. From the Detroit Auto Show preview to the North American Car, Utility, and Truck of the Year buzz, we connect the headlines to real buyer decisions.Our take on affordability gets practical fast: a $5,000 difference can flip a purchase when the competing vehicle offers more features or utility. We break down why late-model off-lease cars remain the sweet spot, even as the market feels the aftershocks of COVID-era production cuts. Then we zoom out to tariffs and USMCA dynamics shaping what gets built in the U.S., and why the playing field among American, European, and Asian brands feels more level than ever. With fewer true lemons on sale, lifetime cost and ownership experience become the real story.Reliability and complexity take center stage as we examine turbo longevity, hybrid durability, and the sticker shock of modern repairs, like a $6,000 turbo swap. On the EV front, the pain points are clear: battery longevity anxiety, charging standards and adapters, and the simple truth that the five-minute gas stop still fits many lives better than public chargers. We round things out with a quick, candid guide to RV laws most people ignore, from weight limits and seatbelts to boondocking and propane safety.If you care about getting the best value for your money, understanding how policy nudges production, and choosing tech that won't bite you later, you'll find this conversation timely and useful.

In Episode 71 of the MacBroz Podcast, we tackle one of the biggest gaps we see in the firearms world—people buying guns but never training from concealment. If you carry it that way, you should probably train that way… right? We also get into holiday gift ideas for 2A enthusiasts, breaking down what actually makes a good gift versus the absolute worst gifts that end up stuffed in a drawer forever. From there, we dive into testing ammo in our pistols and why it matters more than most people realize. Reliability, recoil impulse, consistency—if you care about efficient and effective pistol shooting, you need to test what you carry. Somehow, this all spirals into jokes about Josh's new “throat goat” shirt, listener questions, and plenty of classic MacBroz chaos along the way. As always, it's honest conversation, practical info, and a lot of laughs—because learning doesn't have to be boring.

Stop me if you've heard this one before: "The patient's PSIS is 2 degrees higher on the right, so their pelvis is rotated and that's why their back hurts."In this episode of Untold Physio Stories, we're diving into the weeds of the Sacroiliac Joint. We've all been taught the intricate palpation models, but when we look at the actual kinematics, we're often talking about movements so small they're nearly impossible to reliably detect with human hands.In this episode, we discuss:The "Two-Degree" Threshold: Is a 2-degree shift a clinical "aha!" moment or just measurement error (or normal human asymmetry)?Reliability vs. Reality: Why our obsession with "alignment" might be distracting us from what actually gets the patient moving.The Untold Story: A real-world case where focusing on the "degrees" led a clinician down a rabbit hole, and how shifting to a multi-modal, loading-based approach changed the outcome.The bottom line: If your treatment plan changes based on a 2-degree palpation finding, you might be treating the map, not the territory. It's time to stop over-complicating the SIJ and start focusing on what the evidence actually tells us.Don't let a minor deviation in a "test" dictate a major shift in your "treatment."

In one of the most popular episodes of the year, Legalbenchmarks.ai Founder Anna Guo discusses her organization's research that tests whether artificial intelligence custom-made for legal tasks better than general AI tools. Anna is a former BigLaw lawyer who left the practice to become an entrepreneur and now focuses her energies on quantifying the utility of AI in the legal industry. Anna's initial anecdotal research for colleagues quickly revealed a strong community interest in a systematic approach to evaluating legal AI tools. This led to the creation of Legalbenchmarks.AI, dedicated to finding out where the promise of humans plus AI is truly better than humans alone or AI alone. The core of the research involves measuring the "delta," or the extent to which AI can elevate human performance. To date, Legalbenchmarks.ai conducted two major studies: one on information extraction from legal sources and a second on contract review and redlining. Key Findings from the Studies: Accuracy vs. Qualitative Usefulness: The highest-performing general-purpose AI tools (like Gemini) were often found to be more accurate and consistent. However, the legal-specific AI tools often received higher marks in qualitative usefulness and helpfulness, as they align more closely with existing legal workflows. Methodology: The testing goes beyond simple accuracy. It includes a three-part assessment: Reliability (objective accuracy and legal adequacy), Usability (qualitative metrics like helpfulness and coherence for tasks such as brainstorming), and Platform Workflow Support (integration, citation checks, and other features). Human-AI Performance: In the contract analysis study, AI tools matched or exceeded the human baseline for reliability in producing first drafts. Crucially, the data demonstrated that the common belief that "human plus AI will always outperform AI alone" was false; the top-performing AI tool alone still had a higher accuracy rate than the human-plus-AI combo. Risk Analysis: A significant finding was that legal AI tools were better at flagging material risks, such as compliance or unenforceability issues in high-risk scenarios, that human lawyers missed entirely. This suggests AI can act as a crucial safety net. Strengths Comparison: AI excels at brainstorming, challenging human bias, and performing mass-scale routine tasks (e.g., mass contract review for simple terms). Humans retain a significant edge in ingesting nuanced context and making commercially reasonable decisions that AI's instruction-following can sometimes lack.

Every season leaves clues.About players. About coaches. About the direction of the sport. And about what matters mast when the noise fades and the games are done.As the calendar turns and the postseason lights up, we wanted to pause—just briefly—to recognize four individuals who didn't just post numbers or win games. They embodied the spirit of 2025 here at Y-Option.So welcome to our 2025 Awards show as Jim Thornby and I reveal the Y-Option GO GO GO Awards, presented by our founding sponsor 76®, keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat.My 5-Star Quarterback of the YearFernando Mendoza — IndianaThere are recruiting rankings. And then there are journeys.Fernando Mendoza's path—from two-star recruit to Heisman Trophy winner—may be one of the most compelling quarterback stories the sport has ever produced. As a starter, Mendoza had a different offensive coordinator each season with a new systems and new expectations. Yet what never changed was his preparation, inner belief and competitive edge.What stood out all season—and in New York over the weekend—wasn't just the arm talent or the efficiency. It was his awareness. Of moments. Of teammates. Of the responsibility that comes with leading a program that hadn't stood on this stage before.He prepared like a pro long before the hardware arrived. He bet on himself when others didn't. And now there's a new generation of quarterbacks—somewhere in middle school, some headed to Elite 11—who will study him the way he once studied Tom Brady.That's impact.Fernando Mendoza is our 2025 Five-Star Quarterback of the Year.Go Go Gone AwardMakai Lemon — USCThe best receivers don't just get open.They rise.Makai Lemon did exactly that in 2025—turning big moments, tight windows, and constant attention into production and presence. He led all Power Four receivers in yards, earned the Biletnikoff, and became only the second Trojan ever to take home that honor.But what separated him wasn't just what he did—it was how he did it.Humility. Precision. Reliability. When defenses knew the ball was coming his way, he still delivered. When USC needed answers, he provided them.That's why every touch felt dangerous. And why every defense felt pressure.Makai Lemon didn't just stretch the field. He elevated it.He is our 2025 Go Go Gone Award winner.Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

AwardKenyon Sadiq — OregonEvery defensive coordinator asks the same question on Sunday night preparing to face the Ducks:* Where is Kenyon Sadiq on every snap?For Oregon, the answer was clear. He's everywhere.Kenyon Sadiq wasn't just productive. He was positional chaos. Tight end. H-back. Slot. Backfield. Seam. Red zone. Motion. Mismatch.Linebackers couldn't run with him. Defensive backs couldn't handle his size. And when injuries hit the Ducks' receiver room, his impact only grew.But this award has always been about more than stats.It's about presence. Professionalism. And setting the standard.Sadiq followed the blueprint laid down before him—then elevated it. From how he entered practice, to how he prepared, to how he competed.Which is why Kenyon Sadiq is That Dude! for Y-Option in 2025.Headset HeroCurt Cignetti — IndianaGreat coaching isn't loud.It's consistent.What Curt Cignetti has built at Indiana defies modern precedent. 24 wins and 2 losses in two seasons at a program that won 23 games in the previous 5 years combined! IU is a program reborn through evaluation, development, and unwavering standards.I've known about Coach Cignetti for a while and getting to know him it's clear - he leads with independent thoughts, uncommon consistency and elite communication.Those are the pillars of great leadership. And few have embodied them like Coach Cignetti.He didn't chase trends. He didn't lower expectations. He spoke belief into existence—and demanded that others rise to meet it.In a season full of worthy candidates, this one was clear.Curt Cignetti is Y-Option's 2025 Headset Hero, presented by 76.Final WhistleFour awards. Four stories. One shared thread.Preparation. Belief. Standards. Fearless.As the College Football Playoff unfolds and the sport continues to evolve, these are the examples worth holding onto. The ones that remind us why we fell in love with the game in the first place.From all of us at Y-Option, thank you for riding with us through another season and enjoying today's episode around our Awards and the first round of the College Football Playoff. Whether you're here every week or just checking in, we don't take it lightly.We'll keep going.We'll keep asking better questions.And we'll keep celebrating the people and who compete to make those around them better.Much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

As usual in the final episode of the year, we hand out three awards for what we think are some of the finest pieces of information systems scholarship produced this year. Except that this time, we are live at the International Conference on Information Systems in Nashville, Tennessee, in a room packed with our listeners. While this means the quality of the audio of our recording is not so great, the quality of the papers we honor this year is. And with a room full of laughter celebrating great information systems scholarship, we end the year on a high note. Congratulations to Stefan, Christoph, and Jan for winning the Trailblazing Research Award, John and Prasanna for winning the Elegant Scholarship Award, and Yanzhen, Huaxia and Andrew for winning the Innovative Method Award 2025.

Looking for daily inspiration?  Get a quote from the top leaders in the industry in your inbox every morning.   Every year, millions of attraction visitors lose hours in line instead of making memories. Since its inception, accesso's virtual queuing has saved more than 4.5 billion minutes of wait time, freeing guests to pack their day with more rides, eats, and excitement. The result? Happier guests who spend more and a better bottom line for you. Ready to turn waits into wins? Visit accesso.com/ROIClinic. The queues are virtual. The results are real. Michael Acevedo is the Business Development Manager for Nassal. Growing up in Orlando, Michael turned a summer job at Universal Orlando into a two decade career that has spanned ride operations, tech services, engineering, Universal Creative, Walt Disney Imagineering, and now themed construction and fabrication. He has worked on projects such as Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, Transformers, the Fantasyland expansion, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, before moving into project management and business development at Nassal and its design build brand, nFusion. In this interview, Michael talks about reliability & guest experience, being yourself, full circle career moments. Reliability & Guest Experience “Every minute of downtime on this one attraction impacts the guest experience so much more than even 10 minutes of downtime at this other attraction.” Michael explains how his time in tech services engineering at Universal revealed the tight bond between reliability and guest satisfaction. By combining uptime data with daily guest ratings and information on which rides guests could or could not experience, his team could see which attractions caused the biggest drop in satisfaction when they went down and prioritize problem sensors and components accordingly. This moves reliability from a back of house statistic to a strategic lever, guiding where to invest time and resources so that technical decisions protect the most emotionally important moments in the visit. Being Yourself “So the most important piece of advice I would give people is just be yourself.” Looking back, Michael admits he spent years trying to match an imagined standard of who he should be at companies like Universal and Disney. Over time, he noticed that promotions, project invitations and leadership responsibilities tended to appear when he was showing up as his authentic self. In an industry that needs everyone from artists and engineers to plumbers, accountants and ticket sellers, he argues there is no single template for success. Bringing your real background, culture and personality into the work, and remembering that you are also a consumer of these experiences, is part of what makes you valuable. Full circle career moments “I don't know if I'll ever be able to top that moment, standing there with people who I looked up to, that I was right alongside them.” Michael recalls a defining full circle moment on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. After years of development, he stood at the exit on opening morning at Disney's Hollywood Studios and watched guests step off the attraction in disbelief, some in tears, thanking the team for making their Star Wars dreams real. He links that experience to seeing creative leader Scott Trowbridge at Universal years earlier and wondering what it would be like to work with him, then later sitting together as peers on Galaxy's Edge.

You follow Demetri Papanicolau's winding path from Fidelity financial consultant to full-time booking agent and working musician, discovering how taking risks, saying yes to scary gigs, and learning from every stage moment shaped his career. You hear how singing AC/DC and Zeppelin in high school, drilling Beatles harmonies, and navigating the evolution from originals to covers built the chops he still relies on today. As you ride through stories of surprise band formations, COVID-era pivots, and the birth of Rotten Apple, you're reminded that you must Always Be Performing, even when the gig you expected turns into something entirely different. You also step inside Demetri's world at Notso Costley Productions, where booking is equal parts diplomacy, coaching, and reading the room. He breaks down what venues actually want, what musicians consistently get wrong, and how reliability wins more than draw. You learn how he balances the needs of solos, duos, trios, and full bands; why non-verbal communication and a good hang matter; how to build an EPK that gets you on a roster; and what happens when rates rise across the scene. Through it all, Demetri shows how being both booker and performer lets him guide bands and venues toward smoother nights, stronger partnerships, and gigs that keep everyone coming back. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 512 – Monday, December 15th, 2025 December 15th: National Cupcake Day Guest co-host: Demetri Papanicolau from Notso Costley Productions NAMM coming up!

Drawing from his experience on the battlefield and in the boardroom, Tim shares how precision, reliability, and mentorship define both military and engineering excellence. He explains how the skills gap across the electronics industry has become a national-security issue, as veteran designers retire faster than they can be replaced. Tim highlights why today's engineering education often misses the mark—focusing on theory instead of hands-on application—and calls for renewed investment in academic-industry collaboration. He also discusses his preferred EDA ecosystem, Siemens Expedition, and why modern defense boards demand tools capable of managing 25 Gbps signals, DDR4 layouts, and extreme reliability requirements. The conversation dives deep into mentorship, AI in EDA, and real-world design pressure, from 72-hour emergency turnarounds to projects where a single mis-routed trace could mean mission failure.

The Reliability of Wealth Creation in an Age of Inequality: Why Investing Must Become Compassionate Again. Purpose of the ShowThis show exists to awaken wisdom, spark clarity, and help thinkers, leaders, and creators live with a depth of purpose the modern world has forgotten. Every conversation is an invitation — not simply to master strategy, but to steward influence, shape ecosystems, and build a more generous economic future. Introduction: What happens when a capital strategist, ecosystem architect, bestselling author, and nationally ranked podcast host sets her life's mission toward one goal:Re-imagining private equity as a tool for human flourishing? Today's guest, Karen Rands, is not merely a leader in early-stage investing — she is the founder of an entire movement. Known as The Compassionate Capitalist, Karen has spent more than twenty years challenging the old, extractive models of wealth creation and replacing them with something richer, wiser, and more humane. Her conviction is simple and bold:When more people invest in entrepreneurs — wisely, ethically, and confidently — communities grow, innovators thrive, and the wealth gap begins to close. In a financial culture often defined by fear, inequity, and gatekeeping, Karen is giving aspiring investors something rare:A proven, principled pathway into private equity that aligns purpose, passion, and profit. Credibility + BackgroundKaren is the founder of Kugarand Capital Holdings, a Federal SBA–Certified Woman Owned Small Business, where she serves as a trusted strategist to entrepreneurs, investors, venture capital networks, and economic development agencies seeking to fund innovation and expand access to capital. She is the bestselling author of two groundbreaking works:Inside Secrets to Angel InvestingInside Secrets to Crowdfund Investing: Follow Jane's JourneyTogether, these books have become definitive guides for individuals entering private equity for the first time — illuminating a wealth-building asset class historically hidden from the public.Across her career, Karen has:coached founders through private placements, Reg CF, Reg A+, and Reg D offeringsguided investors through due diligence, risk assessment, and wealth-building strategydeveloped capital strategies for growing companies and emerging technologiespartnered with venture capitalists, family offices, and syndicate networksserved as an advisor across the lower and middle marketshelped entrepreneurs prepare to scale and exit with confidenceAnd she amplifies this mission through The Compassionate Capitalist Show™, a global top-2.5% business podcast with more than 300 episodes and over 200,000 listeners.Karen's work integrates economics, ethics, innovation, and community development — embodying her belief that:Investing is not merely financial activity. It is civic stewardship.Episode SummaryThis conversation confronts a defining question of our economic moment:How do we democratize wealth creation without diluting wisdom, lowering standards, or compromising stewardship?Together, we explore:why private equity has remained inaccessible to most people — and how that is changingthe moral and economic case for training 500,000 new angel and crowdfunding investors by 2029how investors and entrepreneurs can form an ecosystem that builds both profit and purposewhat founders get wrong about capital strategy — and how to fix itwhy investors need better due diligence, not more fearhow compassionate capitalism can bridge the wealth gapwhy Karen believes early-stage investing is more profitable — and more ethical — than many traditional asset classesThis is not merely a conversation about raising capital.It is a vision for rebuilding the American Entrepreneur Dream with wisdom, access, and integrity.

This week we welcome back the dynamic duo of digital dentistry, Blake Roney and Patrick Dewey from S.I.N. 360 (https://sin360.us/) (Simplicity • Innovation • Nanotechnology) for a massive deep dive into implants, photogrammetry, and the ever-evolving world of full-arch workflows. Since their last visit in 2022, Blake has gone from new kid on the block to full-blown Exocad (https://exocad.com/) educator, and Patrick breaks down how S.I.N. has doubled down on innovation across implants, CAD/CAM, and photogrammetry. The guys walk us through the new Versalis implant line (https://sin360.us/versalis/), why one connection for all indications is a big deal for labs, and how S.I.N. is pushing efficiencies for high-volume, complex full-arch clinicians. Then comes the star of the show: the MicronMapper (https://sin360.us/micronmapper/)—a lighter, faster, more accurate photogrammetry system that doesn't just capture implants but verifies manufacturing accuracy, scans soft tissue, and reduces surgical guesswork. Blake breaks down real-world accuracy numbers, what RMSE actually means, why intraoral scanners aren't cutting it for full-arch, and how FitCheck is saving labs from misfires, wasted zirconia, and bad days. They also reveal the newest frontier: Tissue Mapper, a photogrammetry-based, scanner-free workflow that pulls bite, tissue, and implant data without fiducials or messy post-op scans. It's nerdy, innovative, and ridiculously cool for the high-volume teams ready to level up. If you love accuracy, numbers, full-arch workflows, or just really good dental tech nerding — this is your episode. Happy Holidays from Ivoclar!

Guest: Heather Adkins, VP of Security Engineering, Google Topic: The term "AI Hacking Singularity" sounds like pure sci-fi, yet you and some other very credible folks are using it to describe an imminent threat. How much of this is hyperbole to shock the complacent, and how much is based on actual, observed capabilities today?  Can autonomous AI agents really achieve that "exploit - at - machine - velocity" without human intervention for the zero-day discovery phase? On the other hand, why may it actually not happen? When we talk about autonomous AI attack platforms, are we talking about highly resourced nation-states and top-tier criminal groups, or will this capability truly be accessible to the average threat actor within the next 6-12 months? What's the "Metasploit" equivalent for AI-powered exploitation that will be ubiquitous?  Can you paint a realistic picture of the worst-case scenario that autonomous AI hacking enables? Is it a complete breakdown of patch cycles, a global infrastructure collapse, or something worse? If attackers are operating at "machine speed," the human defender is fundamentally outmatched. Is there a genuine "AI-to-AI" counter-tactic that doesn't just devolve into an infinite arms race? Or can we counter without AI at all? Given that AI can expedite vulnerability discovery, how does this amplified threat vector impact the software supply chain? If a dependency is compromised within minutes of a new vulnerability being created, does this force the industry to completely abandon the open-source model, or does it demand a radical, real-time security scanning and patching system that only a handful of tech giants can afford? Are current proposed regulations, like those focusing on model safety or disclosure, even targeting the right problem?  If the real danger is the combinatorial speed of autonomous attack agents, what simple, impactful policy change should world governments prioritize right now?

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike highlights the reliability of the Scriptures as a powerful reason to believe. He talks about the historical accuracy of the Bible and shares the story of Lee Strobel—an investigative journalist who set out to expose the Bible's errors but instead found overwhelming evidence for its truth and ultimately embraced the faith. Mike also quotes respected history professor Lloyd Bridgeman, who once said the Bible is the most reliable book in history. Finally, he reflects on how God uses His Holy Scriptures to speak to us personally—because when we are spiritually alive, the Word of God becomes alive in us.

In this episode of Wash Talk: The Carwash Podcast, host Rich DiPaolo welcomes Troy Huisman, founder of Superior Control, for a deep dive into one of the most critical, yet least understood, parts of a tunnel: the motor control center. Huisman discusses the early gaps he saw in the carwash equipment world and what pushed him to design smarter, more responsive control solutions. He explains why a control panel often understands tunnel performance better than the operator and highlights the hidden inefficiencies his team uncovers at sites across the industry. The conversation explores the growing value of custom-built control systems and how they enhance uptime, throughput, and long-term reliability for each unique site. Huisman also breaks down where automation is delivering the biggest returns. Real-world examples illustrate how redesigned panels have transformed struggling tunnels into high-performing locations. The episode concludes with a look ahead at connected controls, remote diagnostics and the role “smart” motor control centers will play in the next generation of tunnel design.

Mode Mobile's Dan Novaes talks everything around Bitcoin's recent volatility. He says the cryptocurrency is experiencing an "IPO moment," making the case that this sharp downturn in price will level out as liquidity and adoption grows. Dan compares Bitcoin to gold and explains the asset's road ahead to being seen as reliable as the rare earth metal. When asked if Strategy (MSTR) will help or hinder the crypto market, Dan says the Michael Saylor-led company will "ultimately do good" for Bitcoin. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Have you ever met someone in a fleeting moment and instantly sensed there was a deeper conversation waiting to happen? That is precisely what happened when I met Grantley Morgan at Thinkers50 in London. It was my very first time in the city, and there he was, tucked away in the corner, trying to enjoy a quiet bite before the next wave of conversations. Of course, I walked right up to him, probably catching him mid-chew, and within minutes, we were deep into a discussion about the kind of leadership people return to when the world around them feels uncertain. In this episode of Becoming Unshakable, Grantley and I explore a theme that leaders often overlook. Reliability. We talk about it as something steady, almost quiet, yet absolutely foundational. Grantley calls it positive predictability. That grounded presence where people know how you show up, they see the bar you hold for yourself, and they trust that your intentions match your actions. He describes how this connects with a second trait that leaders often talk about but rarely live consistently. A personal quality bar that never drops, even when pressure mounts. Our conversation moves through the realities of consulting culture, the pressure to prove yourself, the temptation to rush, and the personal work involved in shifting from competition to curiosity. Grantley shares moments where he pushed too hard, went too fast, and learned the hard way about the limits of carrying everything alone. His honesty around pressure, emotional regulation, and the need for shared accountability invites all of us to rethink how we use our influence. What I loved most was the way he frames leadership through clear intention. The idea of stepping away for fuel, stepping back for perspective, and stepping forward once curiosity returns. The way he holds failure as a sign of courage rather than incompetence. And the reminder that reliability has nothing to do with being safe or dull. It is the quality that lets people take bigger risks because they trust the leader beside them. Grantley left me thinking about the future of leadership and how each of us can create the conditions where our teams thrive. What would happen if reliability and excellence coexisted more often in our workplaces? What would it change about how we show up, how we collaborate, and how we carry our own emotional load? I would love to know what this conversation brings up for you. Which part resonates with your own experience of leading or being led? Share your thoughts with me.  

In this podcast Michael Stiefel spoke with David Blank-Edelman about the relationship between software architecture and site reliability engineering. Site reliability engineering can give architecture vital feedback about how the system actually behaves in production. Architects and designers can then learn from their failures to improve their ability to build systems that can evolve, gracefully degrade, and, at the right time, be taken out of production. Reliability, just like latency, throughput, and durability, is an emergent property of a system. Hence the search for a root cause for a failure is counter-productive, and is not likely to produce a reliable system. One often has to look for what went right, as opposed to what went wrong. Software reliability engineers and architects need to embrace a mutual curiosity of how a system really works and fails in the real world.

2025 list of fastest-growing companies. Jeff shares how values-driven leadership shapes every aspect of his organization, from strategic decisions to daily client interactions. He breaks down the core values that guide his team's growth, reliability, communication, and respect, and explains how embedding them into company culture fuels consistent, high-quality performance. Jeff also dives into the evolving role of AI in streamlining operations and elevating service, while underscoring the importance of empowering employees through critical thinking and autonomy. The conversation wraps with a powerful reminder: clearly defined values aren't just ideals, they're essential tools for sustainable growth and effective leadership. 3:42 Meet Jeff Soha 4:02 Soha Capital and Its Mission 4:29 The Impact of AI on Services 6:08 Success Through Values 6:50 Evolving Company Values 9:44 The Importance of Core Values 12:23 Defining Core Values 14:06 Practical Applications of Values 17:05 Commitment to Reliability 18:54 Weekly Review Process 23:46 Decision-Making with Values 26:23 Empowering Decision-Making in Leadership 27:30 Conclusion and Takeaways Building a Business on Values In this episode, Gene sits down with Jeff Socha, founder of Socha Capital, to talk about what values-driven leadership really looks like in practice. Jeff explains how Socha Capital helps successful entrepreneurs through family office services, from tax reduction and legal planning to investment and risk management. Gene highlights the importance of having values that actually live inside an organization, not just words written on a wall, and Jeff shares how this philosophy drives everything they do. How AI Supercharges Their Client Experience The conversation shifts into technology, where Jeff breaks down how artificial intelligence has changed the game at Socha Capital. Instead of replacing people, AI helps the team work smarter, speeding up research, boosting problem-solving, and allowing them to craft customized solutions faster than ever. For a company dealing with complex financial and legal strategy, that efficiency makes a real difference. Values That Drive Growth (Literally) Jeff has a remarkable track record: three different companies have landed on fastest-growing company lists, including the Inc. 5000. Gene digs into how values played a part in that success. Jeff shares Socha Capital's four core values: growth, reliability, communication, and respect, and explains how they show up in real decisions like hiring, firing, and internal operations. These aren't slogans; they are the compass for everything the team does, reinforced through weekly reviews, reporting systems, and clear expectations around accountability. Teaching Leaders to Think for Themselves One of the most compelling parts of the conversation is Jeff's philosophy on developing leadership within his team. Instead of giving answers right away, he encourages employees to think through decisions using the company's values as their guide, especially when he's not in the room. This approach builds autonomy, confidence, and critical thinking. Jeff also talks about how he shaped these values over years of personal reflection and mentoring, grounded in the belief that "everything will grow at the rate that you do." The episode closes with Gene and Jeff agreeing on one big idea: values aren't abstract concepts, they're practical tools. When leaders live by them, they create alignment, resilience, and long-term growth for everyone involved. Key Takeaways Values must be lived, not laminated. Jeff emphasizes that core values only matter when they're actively practiced and used in decision-making not just written down. AI boosts productivity without replacing people. Socha Capital uses AI to accelerate research and problem-solving, allowing the team to spend more time on high-value client work. Growth starts with the leader. Jeff's philosophy "everything will grow at the rate that you do" highlights the importance of personal development for organizational success. Accountability drives reliability. Weekly reviews, clear reporting systems, and action-tracking help maintain consistent performance across the company. Empowered teams make better decisions. Jeff encourages employees to use the company's values as a framework for independent decision-making, building confidence and critical thinking. Values guide people decisions. Hiring, firing, and everyday leadership all tie back to Socha Capital's four core values: growth, reliability, communication, and respect. Sustainable success is values-driven. Gene and Jeff agree that long-term growth depends on leaders who embody and operationalize their values daily. Resources & Next Steps Ready to take your leadership energy to the next level?

Join us for a powerful 11AM service from Nfluence Church as Pastor Lucas Miles hosts a live Ask Me Anything (AMA) packed with Biblically grounded, practical answers to real questions about faith, theology, culture, and everyday Christian life. In this conversational session, Pastor Lucas addresses some of the most searched and debated topics in Christianity today — including Protestant vs. Catholic differences, how we can trust the preservation and reliability of Scripture, what John 6 means for communion and the papacy, and how Christians can approach transgender and gender-identity questions with both truth and compassion. He also discusses how to reach atheists and secular humanists, why faith impacts every part of life, and whether pets go to heaven. Additional questions cover how to lovingly talk about abortion, how new believers can share their faith with confidence, understanding Mary's role in Catholicism, helping Gen Z stay focused in a distracted world, whether marriage is valid without state paperwork, the Nephilim and ancient alien theories in Genesis, what “rest in peace” means for public figures, the Christian books that shaped his faith, and how a loving God can judge sin and uphold justice. The service ends with communion and a closing prayer, offering a thoughtful and hope-filled conclusion to this wide-ranging discussion.Key Themes:Protestant vs. Catholic DifferencesPreservation and Reliability of ScriptureJohn 6, Communion, and the PapacyAddressing Transgender and Gender-Identity QuestionsReaching Atheists and Secular HumanistsWhy Faith Shapes Everyday LifeDo Pets Go to Heaven?Responding to Abortion with Truth and CompassionSharing Faith as a New ChristianMaryology and Catholic Reverence for MaryHelping Gen Z Stay Focused SpirituallyMarriage Without State PaperworkNephilim and Ancient Alien Theories“Rest in Peace” and Public FiguresInfluential Christian BooksGod's Justice and the Reality of HellCommunion and Closing PrayerTimestamps: 00:00 — Welcome, AMA overview, and how the Q&A works04:14 — Are Protestant churches legitimate?

Princlings, Grassroots, and the Politics of Restoration. Joseph Turigian discusses how Xi Jinping gained entry to Qinghua University based on political reliability rather than merit in 1975, although his father remained un-rehabilitated. While princlings were generally unpopular, Xi Jinping made the atypical choice to climb the ranks from the grassroots. Xi Zhongxun's full rehabilitation was slow and politically sensitive because Mao himself had persecuted him. Xi Jinping served as secretary to a powerful military leader and skillfully used public relations to raise his profile. Xi Jinping married famous singer Peng Liyuan, bonding over their shared suffering during the Cultural Revolution. Guest: Joseph Turigian. 1906
