This one completely changed how I look at sales. In Week 3 of ASCEND, Ken Deemer broke down a simple framework for qualifying prospects around pain, budget, and decision-making, and we've already started refining our own sales process because of it. Instead of rushing to measure, estimate, and send proposals, we're learning to slow down, ask better questions, uncover the real problem, and determine whether an opportunity is actually worth pursuing. If you're tired of wasting hours quoting jobs that never close, this episode might completely change the way you sell.

In this episode, hosts Tyler Suksawat, Will Beaman, and Scott Ferguson sit down with Washington State Senator Bob Hasegawa to explore his nearly two-decade campaign to establish a public bank in Washington State, launched in the wake of the 2008 Wall Street crash.The conversation situates Hasegawa's tireless public banking advocacy within his broader political formation. Born to a Japanese American family that suffered forced incarceration by the U.S. government during World War II, Hasegawa went on to enter the trades and join the Teamsters during a historic turning point for organized labor. As a leader in the rank-and-file movement to democratize the union and eradicate systemic corruption, Hasegawa was elected to union leadership in the Teamsters' first-ever democratic vote, only to subsequently witness a disappointing return to corruption enabled by the Clinton administration. This early crucible in rank-and-file organizing and institutional power profoundly shaped his career in the Washington State House and Senate, grounding his legislative focus on labor rights, racial justice, and public accountability.Dedicating the core of the discussion to the mechanics and necessity of public finance, Hasegawa articulates why public banks are vital tools for democratizing money, keeping public revenues working for local communities, and serving as a countercyclical buffer during market downturns. In a fascinating historical turn, Hasegawa walks through the founding of the Bank of North Dakota over a century ago, revealing how the agrarian movement behind the bank actually drew inspiration from progressive public ownership projects underway in Seattle at the time. This historical connection links the century-old legacy of the Bank of North Dakota directly back to Washington State, demonstrating that the current movement for public banking in Washington is coming full circle to its original inspiration. Finally, Hasegawa frames public banking as a truly global movement, exploring how different public financial structures around the world—such as Germany's municipal Sparkassen system—can learn from one another, cooperate, and move in international solidarity to build an equitable, democratically governed financial architecture.Check out the Substack for the Washington State Public Banking Workgroup currently chaired by Senator Hasegawa.See here for the 2026 SB 5754 Work Session and Public Testimony for Hasegawa's public banking legislation.

Building on the vision of Democratic Public Finance (DPF) introduced in our debut episode, hosts Will Beaman, Tyler Suksawat, and Scott Ferguson present a radical new proposal to expand sub-federal fiscal capacity: the Loop. For decades, local governments have been disciplined by Wall Street bond markets, forced into defensive austerity, while furnishing private creditors with hundreds of millions of dollars per year. The Loop breaks this poisonous cycle by authorizing a government-owned public bank to purchase municipal bonds directly from a state, county, or city. In turn, the bank can immediately deposit interest payments back into the government's general fund, in effect, stopping the leak to Wall Street by establishing a distinctly public loop.By internalizing debt service, the Loop transforms an extractive cost into a self-replenishing public fund, capturing interest payments to fund housing, transit, care infrastructure, and the arts. The result empowers cities to evaluate public investment based on real social and ecological capacity rather than bond market discipline. Drawing on our recent writings and coalition work around the Seattle Loop, our hosts explain how such daring innovations in DPF stand to reclaim municipal finance as a powerful instrument for democratic agency and collective care.Related Reading & ResourcesReclaiming the Public Interest: Cities Should Sell Municipal Bonds to Their Own Public BanksOut of the Shadows: Public Banking for Municipal FinanceThe Seattle Loop: Reclaiming the Public InterestZooming In on the LoopHow Cities Can Evaluate Public Investment Without Bond MarketsVisit our Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/MoLsuperstructureOriginal music by Josh Klinghoffer

He has an impressive track record of leading agricultural technology companies and delving deeply into food-related decision-making processes. Currently, Elliot is exploring significant shifts in AI, particularly the transition of AI from being a mere information tool to becoming an active agent capable of making decisions, taking actions, and negotiating autonomously. Elliot is also an author with a forthcoming book that encompasses various dimensions of AI, including a chapter focused on agentic AI. He continues to contribute valuable insights into the fresh produce industry while engaging with cutting-edge technology sectors.Show LinksInternational Fresh Produce Association - https://www.freshproduce.com/Fresh Takes on Tech - https://www.freshproduce.com/resources/technology/takes-on-tech-podcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/InternationalFreshProduceAssociation/Twitter - https://twitter.com/IntFreshProduce/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/international-fresh-produce-association/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/intlfreshproduceassn/
Is your sex life as private and personal as you think it is? Or is it shaped by – and constantly shaping, in turn – the society and systems you exist in? This week we're joined by Dr. Angela Jones, who asks these questions and much more in her new book, Sex in Public. Angela is a professor of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Stony Brook University. In addition to scholarly works published in many distinguished journals including Porn Studies and The Black Scholar, she's the author, co-author and/or editor of several books, including Black Lives Matter: A Reference Handbook and Camming: Money, Power, and Pleasure in the Sex Industry which came out in 2020 and advanced and informed a lot of my own understanding of the online adult industry especially. Her latest book, Sex in Public: The Transformative Social Power of Our Erotic Lives, just launched this month. As Angela writes: “Revolutionizing how we talk about sex means thinking not just about what a single solitary person should or shouldn't do in bed.” We get into the history of sexology, how sex toys complicate our understanding of what counts as sex, whether sex needs a definition at all, what happened when she bought and used a sex doll, and why the most vulnerable moments in their book are also the ones everyone wants to discuss.

The Persona Paradox: Overcoming Saturated Attribution and Decoding Consumer Intent with Brice McBethIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Brice McBeth, the Founder and CEO of Reap Commerce, to dissect the severe operational constraints choking margins across the modern direct-to-consumer (DTC) and retail ecosystem. Brice, an elite e-commerce systems architect and data scientist with nearly two decades of scaling revenue pipelines, reveals how traditional demographic tracking and superficial marketing metrics fail to interpret actual consumer purchasing behavior. This conversion delivers an intentional, algorithmic playbook for mid-market product brands and enterprise digital teams looking to bypass broken iOS attribution channels, reduce customer acquisition costs (CAC), and uncover lucrative, undocumented buyer personas hiding within their existing website data.The Architecture of Intent: Merging Behavioral Tracking with Demographic Enrichment to Build High-Yield ConversionsThe primary vulnerability dragging down the valuation of scaling digital storefronts is a structural over-reliance on idealized customer profiles (ICPs) created through boardroom speculation rather than real-time data analysis. Brice McBeth notes that an overwhelming majority of e-commerce brands are fundamentally blind to their true consumer base, routinely missing four or five highly profitable purchasing segments currently interacting with their checkout funnels. When digital marketers optimize ad spend purely against surface-level demographic parameters like age, gender, or zip code, they fail to map the true psychological motivations and friction points that dictate why a transaction succeeds or falls flat. True operational scale is unlocked when an organization transitions past vanity traffic metrics and implements automated behavioral analytics to track exact clickstream paths, item interactions, and cart abandonments across all traffic sources.Optimizing conversion rate performance while simultaneously lowering marketing debt requires a disciplined engineering process that marries first-party behavioral metrics with third-party demographic enrichment. Many mid-market brands operating between the $1M and $100M revenue thresholds find themselves paralyzed by data overload yet starved for actionable insights because cross-functional analytics are siloed away from frontend marketing execution. Real-world capital efficiency is achieved by applying advanced AI clustering tools to group disorganized consumer data—such as scanned interaction loops, navigation timing, and receipt logs—into precise, validated buyer personas. This granular diagnostic process empowers product teams to craft hyper-targeted copywriting, personalize landing page copy, and structure product bundles that speak directly to specific consumer triggers without incurring the bloated agency overhead typically associated with enterprise-grade research.Sustaining this performance trajectory across volatile ad markets demands that corporate executives maintain a balanced perspective, pairing advanced algorithmic execution with intentional personal rest and relationship cultivation. Drawing clear parallels between corporate growth strategy and the precise, mental focus required to navigate an intimidating golf course, Brice emphasizes that strategic clarity is an organic byproduct of dedicated mental downtime. When an executive builds structured blocks of reflective white space into their calendar, they insulate themselves from short-term market hype and refine their long-term corporate vision. When an enterprise pairs this steady, intentional leadership style with continuous cross-functional data audits and targeted customer testing loops, it transforms a fragile, trend-dependent digital storefront into a highly stable, self-sustaining e-commerce engine designed to reliably multiply market valuation.About Brice McBethBrice McBeth is the Founder and CEO of Reap Commerce, a premier e-commerce conversion strategist, and a veteran systems engineer specializing in data-driven user acquisition and retention.

George Wright III interviews Braeden and Madison Furgeson, husband-and-wife founders of Venn Social, a bootstrapped, self-funded social platform designed around connection instead of attention. The idea began as an infertility support app after Madison struggled through years of infertility and miscarriages and found meaningful help only when matched with someone in the same stage, highlighting that topic-based groups lump very different situations together. They broadened the concept into a community platform for anyone seeking real connection. Venn Social features “circles” that use filtering questions to place users into sub-circles with people who answered similarly, a discover feed that prioritizes followed accounts and circles, and a transparent algorithm users can view. Culture is enforced through the Venn Code and an Aura score system that rewards good behavior and restricts trolls. They share a vision to replace toxic social media and help address loneliness.00:00 From Infertility to Connection00:51 Meet the Founders02:26 The Infertility Struggle05:36 Why Topic Groups Fail08:03 Bootstrapping Mission First10:10 Marriage as Co-Founders13:33 What Social Media Broke19:04 Defining Venn Social20:15 Circles and Filtering21:14 Circle Matching Topics22:02 Life Phases Mentors23:01 Discover Feed Explained24:59 Transparent Algorithm Rules26:11 Venn Code Culture27:52 Aura Score Moderation30:22 Creators Connection Focus35:03 Vision Replace Social37:53 Find Ven Download38:31 Closing Share EpisodeThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

The Money on the Left Collective is proud to launch its new podcast series, In the Loop: Revolutionizing Public Finance, hosted by Scott Ferguson, Tyler Suksawat, and Will Beaman. In this debut episode, the hosts lay out a bold vision for Democratic Public Finance (DPF), a paradigm shift that rejects the defensive, austerity-driven mindset of "finding the money" and instead reclaims public finance as a problem of legal, social, and democratic design. By wresting control of public resources from Wall Street, shadow banking, and both neoliberal and authoritarian governance, DPF seeks to protect local communities from federal sabotage and end the false trade-offs that misrecognize collective capacities, while pitting public interests against one another. The episode culminates by introducing what we at MotL call "the Loop"—a generative fiscal framework that utilizes a city-owned public bank to internalize municipal debt, capture interest revenues that would otherwise leak to private creditors, and reinvest that wealth back into local infrastructure. Highlighting the ongoing successes and momentum of building a broad-based coalition around the Seattle Loop, the hosts demonstrate how diverse advocacy sectors—including labor, housing, and the arts—can be woven into a self-replenishing, mutually reinforcing network that transforms public finance into a powerful instrument for the people and the planet.Visit our Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/MoLsuperstructureOriginal music by Josh Klinghoffer

What happens when a technology leader who's helped scale a therapy organization from 70 to 180 clinicians decides to build the tool he always wished existed? You get Ambiki — and you get Kevin Dias.Kevin is the founder of Ambiki, an EMR and practice management platform built specifically for pediatric speech, occupational, and physical therapy practices. Before launching Ambiki, Kevin served as CTO at Sidekick Therapy Partners, where he played a pivotal role in growing the organization from 70 to 180 clinicians in just three years. He knows firsthand what it takes to scale a therapy business — the operational chaos, the tech gaps, and the very real cost of using tools that were never designed with pediatric clinicians in mind.In this episode, co-host Rick Segal joins the conversation as Kevin pulls back the curtain on why he built Ambiki from the ground up, what makes pediatric therapy practices uniquely complex to run, and how the right technology can free clinicians to focus on what matters most — their patients. We also get into what it's like to build a U.S.-focused healthcare startup while living in Japan, the lessons he carries from his days as a CTO, and his vision for where pediatric therapy technology is headed.Whether you're a clinic owner, a therapist, or just someone fascinated by the intersection of healthcare and technology — this episode is packed with insight.Get your copy of Rick Segal's book, The Heart of It here: https://amplifypublishinggroup.com/product/nonfiction/business-and-finance/entrepreneurship/the-heart-of-it/Read Rick Segal's blog: https://impactinvestorsegal.com/blog
Welcome to The Hangar Z Podcast, brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS, in partnership with Vertical Valor Plus. This episode was recorded live from the floor of VAI Verticon 2026 in Atlanta at the Vertical Plus booth. In this episode we catch up with two returning guests and highly respected rescue and aviation professionals, retired Las Vegas Metro officer and owner of SR3 Rescue Concepts, Dave Callen, along with longtime law enforcement pilot and SR3 instructor, Tony Weber.This was a rapid-fire conversation in the middle of a packed convention floor, but that energy made for an outstanding discussion centered around one critical topic — precision training for real-world rescue missions. Dave and Tony share their perspectives on the importance of outside training, the impact of the Hoist Users Conference, and why realistic, mission-focused preparation can make the difference when lives are on the line.We also discuss a quote that resonates deeply throughout aviation and law enforcement: “The absence of an accident does not imply the presence of safety.” It's a mindset that challenges organizations and operators to constantly evaluate training, proficiency, and readiness long before something goes wrong.As always, there are plenty of laughs mixed in with the serious conversation, and we're incredibly grateful to have two trusted subject matter experts join us again to talk about the evolution of life-saving rescue training.For more information on SR3 Rescue Concepts, visit SR3rescue.comThank you to all our sponsors Onboard Systems Hoist and Winch, Summit Aviation and Quantum Helicopters.

In this episode, Duane Osterlind talks with Nawal Roy, the visionary behind Holmusk, the world's largest clinical data platform for mental health. After a successful career in finance, Nawal pivoted to healthcare, driven by the realization that mental health is one of the most complex, yet least quantified, areas of medicine.They dive deep into how Holmusk has spent 11 years building a "scientific-grade" database of over 42 million patients, shifting mental health care away from "hunches and poetry" toward precision and evidence-based science.Key Discussion PointsThe Data Gap in Mental Health: Historically, mental health treatment has relied on clinician intuition rather than hard data. Nawal explains how Holmusk "normalizes" messy, unstructured electronic health records to create a searchable, scientific database.The 10-Year Wait: Data reveals a heartbreaking reality: the average journey from the onset of symptoms to receiving meaningful care is 8 to 10 years.Ending the Trial-and-Error Cycle: A typical acute patient might cycle through 10 to 12 different medications over 18 months before finding what works. Nawal discusses how large-scale data can help clinicians find the right treatment faster.The Power of Comorbidity: Mental health doesn't exist in a vacuum. Treating depression can significantly improve outcomes for physical conditions like diabetes, yet these are often treated as separate issues.Measurement-Based Care: Nawal argues that "engagement is not outcome." He highlights the desperate need to move toward a system that measures functional improvement (like GAF or CGI scores) rather than just "showing up for therapy."AI and the Future of Psychiatry: How Holmusk is using Natural Language Processing (NLP) to "read" thousands of unstructured doctor's notes and train AI models to provide clinically accurate—not just "nice sounding"—guidance."Mental health is currently closer to poetry than science... we need to bring the level of rigor found in pediatric oncology to the mental health community." — Nawal Roy"You can't improve what you don't measure. If we have data, we can actually make real, significant change to people's lives." — Duane OsterlindBig TakeawaysDemand Data: Patients and stakeholders should demand that mental health be treated with the same clinical rigor as physical health.Outcome over Engagement: Simply attending sessions isn't enough; we must measure whether the patient is actually getting better.The Role of AI: AI has the potential to democratize access to care, but it must be trained on massive, clinically valid datasets to avoid "hallucinations" and provide safe, effective support.Resources MentionedHolmusk: holmusk.comNeuroBlue: Holmusk's flagship data analytics platform.ACE Study: Referenced by Duane regarding Adverse Childhood Experiences and their long-term health impacts.LinkedIn: Nawal Roy Follow and Review: We'd love it even more if you could drop a review or 5-star rating over on Apple Podcasts.
