Signs of Life - Medium Insights with Host Roman Karpishka Mediumship, Forensic Astrology, and the Many Ways Spirit Communicates Guest: #FFFCertifiedMedium Dave Campbell Dave has more than twenty years of experience as a medium and astrologer. He wrote the book 'Forensic Astrology: Solving Crimes with Astrology,' and is also a contributing author of the book 'Find Me', which is about the group of psychics, mediums, astrologers, and law enforcement canine search and rescue that is dedicated to assisting families and the police in finding missing people. Roman Karpishka Opens Signs of Life: Medium Insights In this episode of Signs of Life: Medium Insights, host Roman Karpishka welcomes listeners to the Forever Family Foundation broadcast exploring survival of consciousness, spirituality, mediumship, and the afterlife. Roman introduces guest Dave Campbell, a professional psychic medium and astrologer with more than 20 years of experience. Dave is described as a specialist in forensic astrology, a contributor to the book Find Me, and someone who has worked with families and law enforcement-related groups to help locate missing people, profile cases, and interpret information through astrology and psychic perception. Symbols, Names, and Spirit Communication Roman begins by asking Dave about symbolism and how symbols speak to him during readings. Dave explains that spirit often communicates through images, names, songs, characters, or unusual symbols, and that he does not always know whether something is literal or figurative until the client confirms it. He gives examples of receiving cartoon references like Fred Flintstone, Velma from Scooby-Doo, Tabitha from Bewitched, and Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz to identify names or personal connections. He also shares a memorable example of hearing the song “Love Shack” during a group reading, which turned out to be a meaningful private reference for a man whose girlfriend had passed. Helping Clients Relax Before Readings The conversation moves into how clients often feel nervous or apprehensive before a psychic or medium reading. Dave says almost everyone is nervous at first, and he tries to calm them by talking with them and explaining that nothing scary will happen. He says nervous energy can affect him as well, so helping clients relax is important for the reading itself. Roman and Dave frame the process as one that requires openness, calm, and trust rather than fear or forced expectation. Forensic Astrology and Missing-Person Cases Dave then discusses his work with a group that assists in missing-person and law-enforcement-related cases. He says the group includes psychics, mediums, astrologers, and other intuitive practitioners, and that cases generally come through the group rather than directly through him. Dave explains that they will not take a case unless law enforcement is willing to receive the information, because otherwise the work may not be used. He describes how some cases take years to receive feedback, and how the group later compares results against known information to evaluate accuracy. Remote Work, On-Location Impressions, and Case Examples Dave explains that most of the group's work is done remotely, but sometimes small teams go on location when assigned. He says being physically present at a location can intensify the connection because the raw energy of the place is stronger. He shares one example of following a road on Google Maps and identifying where a missing man would be found after his vehicle went off a cliff. He also mentions a murder case in which he visited the victim's home, received impressions of the perpetrator, and later saw those impressions validated when the suspect was caught and convicted, though he avoids naming the case because of legal sensitivity. Mediumship Evidence and Unusual Validations Roman asks Dave about mind-blowing experiences from his mediumship practice. Dave describes a reading for a mother and daughter in which the deceased father brought through the image of an octopus. Although Dave thought it sounded unlikely, the women had specifically agreed that if he mentioned an octopus, they would know the reading was real. Dave says such unusual validations are meaningful because they are too specific to be guessed easily. He also explains that animals can appear in readings and may communicate much like people do, whether dogs, cats, horses, turtles, or other pets. The Afterlife, Heaven, and the Moment of Death The conversation turns to what Dave has perceived about the afterlife. He says departed loved ones often describe themselves as being in heaven, though the details vary because each person's experience of the other side may be different. Some may show mountains, landscapes, space-like imagery, or places that resemble what they loved while alive. Dave also says he does not believe people experience pain at the moment of death once they are out of the body. He describes accounts in which people observe their bodies being worked on after an accident without feeling physical pain, and he says the transition is generally associated with peace, love, light, and spiritual release. Astrology, Destiny, Free Will, and Life Plans Roman and Dave also discuss astrology, destiny, and free will. Dave says his view has changed over time, and he now believes much of life is pre-planned, with free will influencing how people respond to the plan. He describes an astrology chart as a kind of map a person comes in with, showing major life themes, people, career paths, lessons, and opportunities. According to Dave, if something is not in the chart, it is not likely to happen, but individuals still have choice in how they engage with what appears. The conversation also touches on reincarnation, soul lessons, and the possibility that difficult experiences may need to be faced again if they are not worked through. Violence, Disclosure, Aliens, and the State of the World Roman asks Dave whether the world is more violent than it used to be, and Dave says he believes people may simply hear about violence more because of instant news and social media. They also discuss astrology's connection to major historical cycles, including planetary alignments Dave connects with revolutionary periods. The conversation briefly moves into extraterrestrial life, with Dave saying he believes intelligent life exists elsewhere and that contact has likely already happened in some way. Roman and Dave discuss government disclosures, media manipulation, skepticism, intuition, and the need for discernment when interpreting public events. Caller Melanie, Grief, Charts, and Soul Lessons A caller named Melanie from Nevada joins the show and offers a reflection on timelessness, comparing it to flow states such as playing music and losing track of time. She asks Dave about choosing astrological reports, and he recommends starting with a natal chart if someone has never had their chart interpreted before. Melanie also discusses soul contracts, the death of her daughter, grief, choice points, suicide, and the possibility that souls may face lessons again if they leave before completing them. Dave agrees that suicide is overly stigmatized and says he has not seen evidence that people who die by suicide are condemned to hell or eternal darkness. He encourages a more compassionate understanding while still acknowledging that unresolved lessons may continue. Boundaries, Ethics, and Closing Reflections Near the end, Roman asks Dave whether he has ever refused to give someone a reading. Dave says he has, especially when someone is in such severe grief that they need counseling first, or when a person comes in only to challenge or test him rather than receive healing or evidence. He emphasizes that mediumship can support grief, but it does not replace counseling. Dave closes by telling listeners they can find him through The Astrology Store in Glendale, Arizona, where he offers medium readings, natal chart readings, forecasts, relationship readings, compatibility work, relocation readings, and group events. Roman thanks Dave, the caller, and the listeners, and signs off until the next second-Thursday broadcast.

The ladies at Fly Nubian Money talk about the impact that remote work has on your paycheck.

I've worked from home for about fifteen years, and I like it. I'm a writer, I'm fine being on my own, and I've got the cats for company. But there's one thing I miss, those little water-cooler conversations with colleagues, and a new study published in the journal Science speaks to exactly that. Economist Natalia Emanuel and her colleagues at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York set out to answer a deceptively simple question: what does remote work actually do to our mental health? The catch is that you can't ethically grab a thousand workers and order half of them to stay home for two years, so they had to get clever about how they studied it. In this episode I walk through that workaround, comparing "remotable" jobs to "non-remotable" ones, and what they found about isolation, anxiety, and well-being. I also put my skeptic hat on, because there's a real question hiding underneath the findings. Maybe working from home makes people lonelier, or maybe people who are already a bit more solitary are the ones who gravitate toward jobs they can do alone, in which case it's personality doing the work, not the office setup. That's the self-selection problem, and it's the reason random assignment matters so much in research. Along the way we get into why losing daily human contact can affect not just your mood but your immune and cardiovascular health, why I think community theater is part of what keeps my own solitude from tipping into isolation, and what both employers and remote workers might do about all of this.

Show Summary:    Mudita Khurana — Tech Lead at Airbnb and the person who always says, “I got this” No Password Required Season 7: Episode 6 - Mudita Khurana   Mudita Khurana is a Tech Lead for Automated Tooling and Vulnerability Management at Airbnb, where she focuses on building modular, scalable security systems in an era of rapidly evolving AI threats. Before Airbnb, she spent nearly a decade in security roles across Accenture, Meta, and PwC, making bold career pivots along the way, including turning down a PwC return offer to join Facebook's product security team. In this episode, Mudita shares her journey from a family of doctors in India to Carnegie Mellon and into the heart of Big Tech security. She discusses what it means to thrive as a non-traditional engineer in a deeply technical field, why she stepped back from management to get closer to the work, and how she thinks about building security tooling that won't be obsolete in three months. Jack Clabby and co-host Kayley Melton, recording live from Tampa B-Sides at the University of South Florida, talk with Mudita about imposter syndrome, AI's curveballs for security teams, leadership without a leadership title, and the importance of community in staying on top of a field that never stops moving. She also reflects on what great mentorship looks like early in a career and why clarity, ownership, and consistency are the leadership qualities she keeps coming back to. In the Lifestyle Polygraph, Mudita firmly plants her flag in the Harry Potter universe as Hermione, explains why Deadpool doesn't qualify as a superhero, debates gym vs. nature as a reset strategy, and reveals her dream remote work base: a high-altitude Buddhist mountain town in the Himalayas.   Follow Mudita on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/muditakhurana/     In this episode: Mudita shares her unconventional path into cybersecurity, highlighting the importance of mentorship and curiosity (0:25 - 1:37) The significance of mentorship, especially Vandana Verma, in her career development (2:26 - 4:00) Transition from management to technical IC roles and why staying close to technical work matters (9:29 - 10:23) The influence of her education at Carnegie Mellon and how it broadened her problem-solving skills (6:23 - 7:41) Navigating imposter syndrome and embracing challenges as growth opportunities (3:26 - 5:29) How AI is changing cybersecurity strategies—building modular, layered systems for agility (15:31 - 16:26) The importance of community, trust, and consensus in cybersecurity decision-making (17:06 - 17:47) Mudita's favorite places for remote work and balancing planning with spontaneity in travel (23:01 - 24:13) Her personal approach to wellness, exercise, and resets during busy days (21:32 - 22:36) Her unique perspective on superhero characters, favorite places, and cultural roots (18:54 - 19:36, 25:19 - 26:21) Timestamp Highlights: (00:25) Mudita's 10-year journey into cybersecurity starting from India (02:26) Mentorship's critical role in her growth and her admiration for Vandana Verma (09:29) Transition from management back to technical roles and why staying close to the work matters (15:31) How AI fosters layered, modular security systems for faster adaptation (17:06) The importance of community and trusted information sources in security (21:32) Reset routines—gym versus nature hikes—and staying grounded during busy days (25:19) Leh, Ladakh: Mudita's ideal remote work location nestled in Himalayan beauty Resources & Links: Vandana Verma - Influential mentor in cybersecurity ThreatLocker - Supporter of this podcast Cyber Florida – The Mother Ship

In this installment of our Workplace Strategies Watercooler 2026 podcast series, shareholders Cynthia Bremer (Minneapolis), Scott James Preston (Indianapolis), and Bethany Wagner (Pittsburgh) examine the evolving landscape of workplace investigations, with a focus on how AI and remote work are reshaping the types and complexity of complaints employers face. The speakers discuss why thorough, well-documented investigations matter—from preserving employee morale to avoiding litigation exposure—and the value of involving in-house counsel early. They also walk through the most critical investigative mistakes to avoid, including selecting the wrong investigator, reaching premature conclusions, and dismissing complaints due to fatigue.

Unser heutiger Gast war schon einmal bei uns, in Folge 163. Damals haben wir über ein Leben gesprochen, das sich an einer sehr klaren Frage orientiert: „To live a life worthy of the respect and the love of my children and my wife.“ Er lebt seit über 20 Jahren in Kapstadt, ist Big-Wave-Surfer, Imker, Permakulturist und Vater von fünf Kindern, Zwillinge und Drillinge, geboren innerhalb von 13 Monaten. Unternehmerisch gehört er zu denjenigen, die Remote Work nicht diskutiert, sondern gebaut haben, bereits Anfang der 2000er mit einer der ersten vollständig remote arbeitenden Digitalagenturen für Kunden in Deutschland und der Schweiz. Heute führt er dieses Denken konsequent weiter. Mit The Factory hat er ein Produktionshaus aufgebaut, das sich auf die skalierte Ausproduktion digitaler Werbemittel spezialisiert hat, über 100.000 Assets pro Jahr für mehr als 100 Premium-Brands im DACH-Raum. Sein Fokus liegt darauf, Marketing-Teams ihre Zeit zurückzugeben, durch klar strukturierte Prozesse, eigene Software und eine radikale Effizienz in der Umsetzung. Sein Garnatieversprechen ist dabei so einfach wie selbstbewusst: Unhappy? You don't pay. Parallel dazu verfolgt er weiterhin seine zweite große Mission: Mit DADicated hat er eine Plattform geschaffen, die Väter stärkt und die Rolle von Vätern neu denkt – mit der Überzeugung, dass starke Familien die Grundlage für eine bessere Gesellschaft sind. Seit 9 Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. Wir haben in mehr als 550 Episoden mit mehr als 700 Persönlichkeiten darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie verändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Was verstehen Unternehmen bis heute nicht an Remote Work, obwohl es seit Jahren möglich ist? Wo genau verlieren Marketing-Teams heute am meisten Zeit und warum ist es so oft die Produktion von Werbemitteln? Und wie balanciert man ein Leben zwischen fünf Kindern, Big Waves und einem Business, das auf maximale Skalierung ausgelegt ist? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei On the Way to New Work, heute mit Philipp Hartmann. [Hier](https://linktr.ee/onthewaytonewwork) findet ihr alle Links zum Podcast und unseren aktuellen Werbepartnern

Have you ever wondered whether the skills that build a company are the same skills needed to scale it? In today's episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Hadi Moussa, the newly appointed CEO of Oyster, the global employment platform helping businesses hire, pay, and support talent in more than 180 countries. The conversation comes at a fascinating moment for the company, following founder Tony Jamous' decision to step into the Executive Chairman role and hand over the CEO position from a place of strength rather than necessity. What makes this leadership transition particularly interesting is that it challenges many assumptions about founder succession. Rather than waiting for investor pressure, market turbulence, or burnout, Tony recognized that the next chapter of Oyster's growth required a different operational skill set. Hadi shares what he learned from a succession process that centered on mission alignment, alongside leadership assessments, case studies, and extensive feedback. We also explore Hadi's own journey from Lebanon to leadership positions at Facebook, Airbnb, Deliveroo, Coursera, and now Oyster. His personal experience of leaving home to pursue opportunity has given him a deep connection to Oyster's mission of making global employment accessible regardless of geography. The discussion moves beyond leadership transitions and into the future of work itself. As artificial intelligence reshapes hiring, productivity, and workforce structures, Hadi explains why he believes there is a real risk that AI could concentrate opportunity within a handful of established technology hubs. He shares Oyster's vision of using technology to more broadly distribute opportunity, enabling companies to access talent wherever it exists while maintaining trust, compliance, and human support. We also discuss what businesses continue to underestimate about managing distributed teams at scale. From culture and communication to trust and compliance, Hadi argues that remote work success requires far more than technology alone. Companies must be intentional about how they build relationships, create alignment, and support employees across borders and time zones. For founders and business leaders, this episode offers thoughtful lessons on self-awareness, leadership evolution, and knowing when a company's needs may outgrow the strengths that originally built it. It is a conversation about growth, opportunity, and the difficult decisions required to put mission ahead of personal attachment. How should leaders know when it is time to pass the baton, and can AI help create a more globally distributed future of work rather than concentrating opportunity in a few select places? Share your thoughts and join the conversation.

What employers should know about key developments this week: EEOC Proposes Eliminating EEO-1 Reports: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is proposing the complete elimination of EEO-1 reports (which include employee demographic data, such as race and gender), along with the rescission of EEO-2, EEO-3, EEO-4, and EEO-5 reports.  Fifth Circuit Rules on Remote Work Accommodations: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit found that in-person attendance is an essential job function and that COVID-era accommodations do not define that standard today—a ruling that could prove informative as more employers implement return-to-office policies. New Non-Compete Restrictions in Tennessee: Beginning July 1, 2026, non-compete agreements will be unenforceable in Tennessee for employees who earn less than $70,000 a year (inclusive of wages, salary, commissions, nondiscretionary bonuses, and other forms of remuneration). - Visit our site for this week's Other Highlights and links: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw436 Sign up for notifications: https://www.ebglaw.com/eltw-subscribe Visit https://www.EmploymentLawThisWeek.com - Epstein Becker Green is a national law firm focused on health care and life sciences; employment, labor, and workforce management; and litigation and business disputes.

Is artificial intelligence actually to blame for a dimmer job market for new college grads? Or is it something else? The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is out with some new data that looks at these situations and it turns out, something else is to blame: remote work.

There are some great opportunities to take, and mistakes to avoid, when making the move from or to the UK. And the best way to make the most of the move is to chat to an expert in cross-jurisdictional tax to make it easy!In this second part of my conversation with Nicola Goldsmith, we get into the areas that tend to trip people up most. And honestly, this comes up a lot in conversations with clients.There's often a belief that tax residency is something you can manage or “choose,” or that if you're not physically in a country, you've left the tax system behind. As Nicola explains, it's not quite that simple. We step through what really happens when you leave the UK but keep UK assets, how double tax treaties actually work in practice (and why they don't eliminate tax altogether), and the risks that come with business structures and remote working across borders.The key thing to note here is that many of these issues aren't obvious until you're already in the middle of them. And by then, it can be costly to unwind. This is one of those areas where understanding the detail upfront can make a very real difference.Main Topics Discussed in this EpisodeThe Myth of “Choosing” Your Tax Residency: A common misconception is that you can decide where you're tax resident, when in reality, tax authorities have extensive data to determine your position whether you realise it or not.How Tax Authorities Track Your Movements: From flight data to banking activity, Nicola explains how easily tax authorities can cross-reference information across jurisdictions when something doesn't add up.Understanding Double Tax Treaties in Practice: Double tax treaties don't eliminate tax - they determine where tax is paid first and how relief is given, which is often misunderstood by expats.Keeping UK Assets While Living Abroad: Just because you've left the UK doesn't mean your UK income or gains fall outside the UK tax net, particularly when it comes to property and other source-based income.Business Structures, Remote Work & Permanent Establishment Risks: Running a business or working remotely from another country can unintentionally create tax exposure in that new jurisdiction, even for individuals operating through their own company.Book a consult with Nicola Website: www.expattaxes.co.ukLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicola-goldsmith-tep-cta-b22363149/ *****Use the link below and quote "Expat Taxes" when registering with Currencies Direct to receive a €50 One4All or Amazon voucher when you transfer €5000 or more in your first six months with Currencies Direct.*Click here for a special offer from our sponsor, Currencies Direct******If you loved this episode or have a similar story, we'd love to hear from you!

Jerry opens the show with a Morning Rant about honesty and ethics, sparked by his own restaurant experience this weekend where another patron left behind a money clip. Would you have taken the cash? Toronto police were caught on tape tackling a cyclist who allegedly ran a stop sign. Jerry weighs in on the situation. A new study found that for young people, remote work, not AI, may be driving unemployment. Nine in ten Canadians want widespread health‑system change, according to new Nanos research.

This conversation starts with a confronting question: are men actually built to be faithful?In this episode, I speak with Yale psychologist Dr. Bill von Hippel about the biology behind male variety-seeking, modern dating, commitment, dopamine, and why chasing more options often leaves people feeling more disconnected.We talk about serial monogamy, dating apps, social comparison, success, loneliness, and why the things we think will make us happy often don't.What I loved about this conversation is that it doesn't excuse behaviour, it explains the deeper forces underneath it. And the real takeaway is simple: we may chase novelty, status, and freedom, but what we actually need is connection.Dr. Bill von Hippel is a Yale psychologist, author, and researcher whose work explores human behaviour, happiness, connection, and the evolutionary forces that shape who we are.Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction(00:42) Serial Monogamy Origins(02:21) Testicles Tell All(04:26) Variety vs Pair Bonding(07:44) Dating Apps Trap(10:43) Status Won't Fulfill(15:06) Happiness Rises With Age(18:55) Modern Life Mismatch(23:13) Too Many Choices(26:37) Embrace Uncertainty(30:07) Connection Over Autonomy(32:40) Set a Sacrifice Deadline(33:35) Define Success Upfront(34:44) Accountability Reality Check(36:15) Careers as a Random Walk(36:50) Virtual vs Real Connection(39:11) Daily Connection Habits(41:48) Why We Need People(43:00) Autonomy Over Connection(47:07) City Life Connection Trap(49:23) Remote Work and Demographics(53:59) Kids, Marriage and Meaning(56:57) Finding Your Path(58:58) Advice to My Younger Self(59:47) Where to Find Bill(01:00:27) Final ThanksConnect with Nick:Instagram: https://instagram.com/nickbracksWebsite: http://nickbracks.comEmail: contact@nickbracks.comConnect with Bill:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamvonhippel/Website: https://vonhippel.socialpsychology.org/ Hosted on Acast.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports that remote work is affecting the jobless rate for young people.

To kick off the episode: Remote work was supposed to make jobs more accessible — but for entry-level workers, it might be doing the opposite. New research suggests remote roles are squeezing junior hiring more than AI (for now). Then: why Gen Z has turned sardines into the snack of the summer — and a surprisingly lucrative business. Plus, the Big Picture: Ottawa's fighter jet rethink, a new BC Conservative leader, Alberta wildfires, and more.And we end off with an exclusive interview with Chad Koziel, Associate Vice President AI Product at TD. Check out our notes below:The Peak: Hey, Peak pals, we are joined today with Chad Koziel, who's the associate vice president of Layer Six Gen AI delivery at TD. And we're going to have a really interesting discussion today. There's a lot of talk about Gen AI and how transformative it's going to be, but not a lot of discussion around the actual practical applications of that at the organization level. So that's why I'm really excited to jump in with you today, Chad. Do you want to just take a second and introduce yourself?​Chad: Thanks and it's great to be on here, Brett. So I'm Chad Koziel. I build AI. That's what I do. I make it real. I put it in clients' hands and colleagues' hands. And my job is to do so in a way that they love, in a way that they want to engage with, they want to adopt, they want to play with and that ultimately drives a positive impact for them.​The Peak: That's awesome. And I imagine a lot of this is happening behind the scenes. So how is AI working at TD right now without clients even knowing that it's there?​Chad: So, if you're a TD client, you can expect today that if you call in with an issue, you get helped better, you get helped faster than ever before. You may or may not notice it on a call-by-call basis, but it's there. In the background and across TD, AI capabilities are being deployed to make everything simpler, to make everything faster and specifically to get information to people faster. So that concrete example I gave you, in the background, there's a tool, a virtual assistant that allows a frontline colleague to solve an extremely complex customer query in seconds, empowering them to help you in that moment. Whereas in the past, they might have put you on hold while they looked stuff up. They might instead have put you on hold and contacted one of their colleagues who could help them work through it before coming back to you. So we're seeing a 12% reduction in those types of things. And it's not just in our contact center. So we have these fit-to-purpose, fast, accurate virtual assistants deployed in TD wealth, in branches, in insurance and TD securities. All of these driving, perhaps imperceptible, perhaps perceptible, but nevertheless impactful improvements to the client experience.​The Peak: That's a really great case study of how generative AI is helping TD clients and as a TD client myself, that's really great to hear. There's a lot of excitement about this technology, but there are some fears as well about it. You know, Gen AI is here and it's brought a lot of concerns with it about how our lives and jobs are going to change. What do you tell someone who's more concerned than excited about the impact of generative AI?​Chad: What I described previously in contact centers is the tip of the iceberg. There's a lot that I have the privilege of having a front row seat to that I can't share publicly, but the impact is enormous, it's profound. And that's leading to companies and people in every sector, in every field to adopt AI, generative AI to improve the quality, speed and availability of service. So maybe, you know, in this conversation with this concerned person, I would then say, seek it out, play, toy with generative AI. Just as an example, like I've used it to dramatically change my reading habits, like in volume and complexity by feeding it things I liked, things I didn't and using Gen AI to take me off the beaten path into areas I may not have previously read from. Authors who are maybe terrific but didn't sell, geographies outside of a western-centric sort of award circuit. And that's a toy example, right? But this is the kind of thing somebody can do to gain some familiarity with it, maybe even comfort. At TD, we put trust at the center of our relationship with clients. And when we move forward with AI, we will do so responsibly, transparently, reliably, safely, all of those things. That's how I try to bring some of this comfort to somebody maybe a little concerned about generative AI.​The Peak: That's very helpful. And you mentioned it at the end there, but I would love to just dig into how TD is actually keeping AI safe and secure when handling clients' money and personal information.​Chad: That's a great question. First is we don't use AI to handle your money. So AI is probabilistic, it's guessing things and we don't guess where your money should go and frankly no algorithm at TD should do that. You decide where it goes. We might use AI, we will use AI to make it easier for you to do what you want to do with your money. And we should make it a lot easier for you. We will never do it for you. Now, the personal information angle though is pretty interesting. When TD's AI consumes your information, it's in a cloud vault in an area fully and completely controlled by TD that's not accessible to any of our outside partners. And that's not going to change. We are going to protect that information and the handling of that information in a way that preserves your trust. And related to that, like when we do go and use AI, we're going to try to build that in a way that's remarkably human. So as an example, ensuring that empathy, intuition, care are at the heart and frankly quantitatively evaluated so that we know, not just we think, we know that the experience we're giving you with AI is one that you can trust is doing that in a way that feels right to you. The last key point because it's an area of particular focus and one where we have a bunch of research is around trustworthy AI. So TD, we have an entire team of scientists dedicated to evaluating for privacy, security, fairness, accountability, explainability, and not just ensuring that those are all built into the models, to the AI that we release, but also to ensure that that is continuously monitored so that those AIs do not stray over time, giving us the confidence to put them into market and have them be in the hands of our customers and colleagues.​The Peak: That's really great to hear and very comforting. Now, we know that AI is going to change banking for Canadians, but what parts of the experience will always need a human touch even as this technology evolves so quickly?​Chad: So, a concrete example, let's call it the estates process. So you've just had a terrible loss in your family. And not only do you have a terrible loss, you're dealing with an incredibly complex situation, financially, legally, emotionally. I guarantee you you want somebody sitting across from you helping you through that. But what you want is for that person to be able to work through this quickly with you to not take days or weeks to sort through hundreds of pages of documents. You want them to be able to do that in minutes to give you that trusted advice right away and with their human touch, with empathy, with intuition. That's an example, but we can think of a bunch of similar sort of challenging events, right? Whether it's job loss, retirement planning, thinking of buying a home. You're always going to want a person there and what we feel is that that person will, however, ne...

“Value shifts from things that are in abundance to things that have more scarcity.”  In this live Object Subject Form session, Simon Clowes is joined by PJ Richardson for a follow-up conversation to Simon's Safe Space LA talk, “Motion Designers Are Cooked.” The original talk opened up a discussion around the emotional reality of working in motion design and creative industries being reshaped in real time by AI, accelerated workflows, and shifting expectations. This conversation continues that thread. AI is often discussed as a tool for speed, efficiency, and output. But underneath the surface, the deeper question is much more personal: identity. What do motion designers, creative directors, animators, and designers hold onto when a job title no longer explains their value? Together, Simon and PJ explore where value migrates when more of the creative process becomes easier to produce, and why creative point of view is becoming more strategically important. As Simon puts it, this is a shift from building a body of work to building a body of thought. This is a conversation about AI and design, creative identity, studio culture, and how creative people can navigate uncertainty, protect their sense of self, build reputation, and stay adaptable without losing the deeper human qualities that make the work meaningful. –– Chapters 00:00:00 Cold Open: Are Creatives Losing Their Purpose? 00:00:49 Welcome Back to Safe Space 00:03:08 Career Uncertainty and Creative Identity 00:04:23 Titles, Identity, and Creative Advantage 00:09:57 Why Point of View Is Becoming More Strategic 00:14:23 Advice for Young Designers Entering the Industry 00:23:44 AI, Experimentation, and the Identity Crisis 00:31:59 Why AI Still Needs Strong Artists 00:35:18 From Body of Work to Body of Thought 00:41:19 Why Hard Creative Problems Still Matter 00:49:21 Remote Work, Community, and Creative Exchange 00:55:57 Relationships, Reputation, and Trust 01:17:32 Creative Culture, Critique, and Leadership 01:37:42 PJ on Identity, Purpose, and Leadership 01:46:14 Closing Thoughts –– Connect with PJ Richardson  PJ Richardson on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pj-richardson-845599/  Laundry: https://www.laundry.studio/ Safe Space: https://www.safe-space-la.com/ –– Contact Simon / Object Subject Form Website: https://objectsubjectform.com/ Object Subject Form on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/objectsubjectform/ Object Subject Form on Instagram: https://instagram.com/objectsubjectform Simon's LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/simonclowes Simon's Instagram: https://instagram.com/simon_clowes Simon's X: https://x.com/simon_clowes –– About Object Subject Form Object Subject Form is a podcast and creative platform hosted by Simon Clowes, exploring the human side of creativity, identity, and emerging technologies through conversations with artists, designers, technologists, and cultural thinkers.

In this episode of Inside Startup Investing, Renji Bijoy joins Chris Lustrino to discuss why he believes spatial computing glasses will become the next major computing platform after smartphones. Immersed began as a VR productivity platform designed to make remote work feel more collaborative and immersive. Today, the company has over 1.5 million users who use its virtual workspace software to create multiple virtual monitors, collaborate with remote teams, and work from anywhere using VR headsets. But Renji believes the existing hardware from major tech companies still falls short. That led Immersed to develop Visor, its own lightweight spatial computing headset designed specifically for work productivity. The company is betting that slimmer, lighter, AI-enabled glasses can finally bring spatial computing into the mainstream. Chris and Renji explore the future of remote work, AI-powered computing, enterprise adoption, hardware manufacturing, crowdfunding strategy, and why Immersed sees itself competing to become the next major tech platform rather than simply building another VR app.

Hey Voices from the Bench community! Jessica Love here, sending a shoutout from Utah! If you're passionate about creating natural, beautiful smiles—but want to simplify your workflow without sacrificing aesthetics—this is for you. I'm honored to be part of Ivoclar's development team introducing a powerful new stain and glaze system featuring Structure Paste, IPS e.max Ceram Art. Create stunning depth and lifelike color in as little as one firing. Let's continue to innovate, simplify, and create meaningful change—one smile at a time. Alright, Voices From the Bench listeners—We're coming to you live from Dallas at DLAT, and we had to grab a quick pop-in from the floor. That's right—because when you're walking a show this big, you never know who you're going to run into… and sure enough, we caught up with Jordan Greenberg—yeah, the HyperDent guy. No booth this time, just cruising the floor, connecting with partners, supporting dealers, and checking in with labs looking to level up their workflows. And get this—he's not just talking theory. We're talking fully automated solutions for preform abutments… no human nesting. That's right—automation that knows your blank size, optimizes your workflow, and keeps production moving without missing a beat. It's the kind of innovation that's pushing labs forward—faster, smarter, and more efficient. So if you're at DLAT, keep your eyes open… because the future of CAM might just be walking right past you. This week, we catch up with the always entertaining and wildly unconventional Seth Potter—live from Paraguay. From sailing the world with his family to building a thriving remote design business, Seth shares a story that's anything but typical. What starts as a conversation about exocad Insights quickly turns into a deep dive into faith, freedom, digital dentistry, and what it really takes to create a life on your own terms. Seth walks us through his unique upbringing—growing up with a missionary dentist father, assisting on dental trips in the Dominican Republic, and spending his teenage years living on a sailboat. That early exposure to dentistry (and adventure) eventually led him into dental technology, where he combined analog fundamentals with a self-taught digital workflow to become a leader in remote design. We also get into the evolution of his career—from working in a small lab and helping implement digital systems, to launching one of the first remote CAD design businesses in Canada. Seth shares how he hustled for his first clients (hint: it involves Indeed and a clever pitch), scaled through efficiency, and ultimately hit a breaking point that forced him to rethink balance, burnout, and what success actually looks like. Now splitting his time between Canada and Paraguay, Seth has built a lifestyle that many dream about—while still pushing the limits of productivity, workflow systems, and digital education with exocad. If you've ever thought about going remote, improving your efficiency, or just wondered what's possible in this industry… this one's for you. Join us at exocad Insights 2026, happening April 30–May 1, 2026, on the stunning island of Mallorca, Spain.

For years, remote work was hailed as the future of business. But now, more and more CEOs are pulling their teams back into the office and not just because they miss water‑cooler chats. There's a deeper reason behind the shift, and it might surprise you. This lesson gets right to the heart of why remote work isn't always the game-changer it's made out to be, especially for companies aiming to scale fast and innovate. Omar shares why he himself made the move from fully remote to opening a physical office, after 14 years of running remote companies. Drawing on research, experience, and lessons learned the hard way, he reveals the hidden friction that slows collaboration, erodes culture, and stalls growth when teams stay remote for too long. You'll hear the tradeoffs between remote and in‑person setups, and why the right structure for your business depends on where you are in your growth journey.
