In this poignant episode, we pay tribute to the unsung heroes of World War II: the ground crew. Rob Taylor shares the remarkable story of his father, Les 'Bob' Taylor, who served as a Leading Aircraftman in the RAF. Discover the challenges and camaraderie faced by ground crews as they maintained the legendary Avro Lancaster bombers, including their role in the sinking of the German battleship Tirpitz. Through Rob's vivid recollections of his father's experiences, we gain insight into the harsh realities of life on an RAF base during the war, the bonds formed between aircrew and ground crew, and the lighter moments that provided relief amidst the chaos of conflict.

Your neighborhood pool may be short-staffed this summer — and the reason probably isn't what you think. Lauren Clarke sits down with Mark Overmann, Executive Director of the Alliance for International Exchange, to unpack the quiet crisis hitting seasonal businesses from the Jersey Shore to the Ozarks. The J1 Summer Work Travel program has been filling the gap in America's seasonal workforce for more than 50 years — but this summer, a State Department deprioritization order and a 6x slowdown in visa interview processing times have left up to 19,000 vetted, job-ready students stranded without an interview slot. Mark explains how a cultural exchange program became the backbone of seasonal staffing, why this is a policy and a capacity problem at the same time, what a bipartisan group of House members is doing about it, and what needs to change before summer 2027. Plus, Rob Taylor with the immigration news: Federal Court Kills Trump's $100K H-1B Fee, a new proposed rule raising the bar on EAD eligibility, and updated USCIS guidance on adjustment of status for dual-intent visa holders.

What if the most powerful immigration story you heard this week came from a picture book?Jacqueline Alcantara is a first-generation American and award-winning illustrator who has lived the experiences she draws. She's the author of Tíos and Primos — a children's book pulled from her own childhood of crossing language barriers to connect with family in Honduras — and the illustrator behind Just Shine, the #1 New York Times bestselling picture book written by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor about her mother's journey from Puerto Rico to the Bronx. Two books. Two immigrant stories. One illustrator who knows exactly what it feels like to stand in a room full of family and not quite have the words.Jackie joins host Lauren Clarke to talk about what picture books can do that policy debates simply can't. Plus, EIG partner Rob Taylor shares the latest news, including an update on the USCIS memo quietly reframing adjustment of status as discretionary — and what that means if you're currently in the green card process.

In this episode of the Proper True Yarn Podcast, Beau Jones and Jordan Abbey Young break down the moment acting school stopped serving a purpose and real experience finally took over.The conversation centres on Beau's time filming Territory in the Northern Territory, and how different the environment was compared to his early work on productions like Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan. Where acting school drilled rules like “don't speak,” “don't stand out,” and “don't question anything,” Territory demanded the opposite.Instead of being told where to stand and when to die, Beau explains how he was asked real creative questions. What would your character wear? How would he act? What habits would he have? That shift marked a turning point from being a nervous extra to being trusted as part of the storytelling process.Filming at Tipperary Station amplified everything. Long days, isolation, a fully functioning cattle station still running around the production, and no escaping back to city comforts. Cast and crew lived together, drank together, and learned from each other, including time spent with experienced actors like Rob Taylor.The episode also dives into why the Northern Territory hasn't been boxed into a genre yet, and why Beau believes it should be treated like Australia's modern Wild West. Raw, rough, authentic, and still largely misunderstood on screen.As always, the yarn doesn't stay serious for long. Stories spiral into escaped zoo animals, pig hunters and pygmy hippos, stolen penguins, and a full-on altercation with a koala on North Stradbroke Island.It's an honest breakdown of confidence, creative growth, and the moment you realise school teaches rules, but sets teach reality.If you're into acting behind the scenes, Australian TV, Territory life, or hearing how careers actually get built, this episode delivers.Straight talk, real lessons, and classic Proper True Yarn chaos.#propertrueyarn

We made it! 10 years of Craft Brewed Sports. Tonight: the San Diego Padres' $3.9B sale, a wild Cincinnati Bengals trade involving Dexter Lawrence, and Victor Wembanyama making history with a unanimous DPOY. Then it goes completely off the rails (as expected): • What the Padres sale actually means for the next MLB labor fight—and why fans might side with billionaires • How the Savannah Bananas could capitalize on a lockout • The NFL cracking down on Draft prank calls • Jimmy Garoppolo possibly heading toward retirement • The College Football Playoff considering major format and media changes • Pablo Torre exposing wild security practices tied to Madison Square Garden and James Dolan • The Cleveland Cavaliers delivering peak JumboTron chaos with the “Don't Blink Challenge” Plus: lawn care talk, beer talk, and our completely unhinged Top 10(ish) Craft Brewed Sports moments from the last decade.

Welcome back to another midweek episode. This week I spoke to Rob Taylor of Leica about the Leitz Phone launch, how Leica think about a collaboration like this and what they wanted to achieve. I hope you enjoy it!More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you'll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I'm interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.

The decision to bootstrap a business or raise venture capital is not just financial. It is physics. You are choosing which system to operate within, which rules will govern your company, and whose incentives will shape your options at every inflection point. Rob Taylor has lived both realities. He spent years building venture-backed companies, raising millions in institutional capital. His brother Chris bootstrapped a company for 20 years and owned nearly 100% at exit. They sold their companies the same year and ended up in roughly the same place financially. The question is what do you optimize for, and the nature of that question is changing daily in the age of AI.

The best tracks from the whole of 2025 (IMHO)

2025 marked an unprecedented transformation in U.S. immigration policy. Executive orders attempting to end birthright citizenship, expand travel bans, and suspend refugee programs— along with the chaotic H-1B fee proclamation — fundamentally reshaped both legal and humanitarian immigration pathways. In this episode, immigration policy strategist Maunica Sthanki joins host Lauren Clarke to examine the executive action-heavy approach, constitutional challenges, and what 217+ executive orders reveal about presidential power limits. They explore the real-world impacts on refugees, employment-based immigration, and asylum seekers—and what polling data suggests about public perception shifting as restrictive policies play out. Plus, Rob Taylor covers breaking news on Haiti TPS, enhanced vetting requirements, and global immigration tightening trends as we head into 2026's midterm election year.GUEST: Maunica Sthanki, Immigration Policy and Advocacy StrategistHOST: Lauren ClarkeNEWS NERD: Rob TaylorPRODUCER: Adam Belmar Resource Links: https://www.sthankistrategies.com/

As companies rush to implement AI and automated decision-making tools, they may be walking into a legal minefield. On this episode of Today in Tech, host Keith Shaw speaks with attorney Rob Taylor from Carstens, Allen & Gourley about the growing legal risks tied to agentic AI, automated hiring, and the rise of ADM (automated decision-making) regulations. Rob breaks down: * Why AI tools used in hiring and insurance may trigger liability * How companies are getting ADM compliance wrong * What laws already apply even without new AI regulations * Real-world examples like credit scoring, job screening, and sentiment analysis * Why disclosure, explainability, and data retention are essential * Who's liable: the company or the AI developer?

This week on The Business of Open Source, I spoke with Rob Taylor, CTO/CSO and founder of ChipFlow. Although ChipFlow is unambiguously a software company, it creates software that facilitate the creation of semiconductors, so it straddles the software and hardware worlds.Some of the things we talked about include: The state of open source in the semiconductor space, and why that matters. A large part of it is the high cost of proprietary software for chip design, and the fact that there are a lot of barriers to entry, both for the design software and to chip creation. Rob also talked about how an open source approach is the only way to bridge between research institutions and universities and the commercial world — too often, researchers would do brilliant work during a Ph.D. program and then it would be completely lost when they entered the commercial world. On the other hand, open source is little-known and mistrusted in the semiconductor space. Rob described it as a marketing liability, which is why it's downplayed on the company webpage. —> I come across this more often than is often recognized inside the open source bubble. It's one thing to build an open source company in the software infrastructure space, where open source has a positive reputation and is often seen as simply table stakes; it's quite another to build an open source company in a conservative industry where open source doesn't have a positive image. Perhaps the most interesting thing is that this means you have to have a reason other than marketing to build and maintain the open source project. Want to join others to talk about the challenges and opportunities in building open source companies? Join us at Open Source Founders Summit next spring in Paris. 

This episode is brought to you by the Change Makers Certification Program!  In this episode of Even Better, Sinikka Waugh is joined by Rob Taylor for a conversation about the common frustrations business owners face—and how to move past them. From lack of control to lack of profit, people challenges to stalled growth, it can feel like nothing is working. Rob introduces us to the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS®), a proven set of simple, practical tools designed to help leaders gain clarity, alignment, and traction. Together, they'll explore the six key components that EOS strengthens—Vision, People, Data, Issues, Process, and Traction—and how they equip leadership teams to overcome obstacles and achieve their biggest goals. Rob also shares real-world examples of how EOS helps owners and teams finally get on the same page, solve problems effectively, and build a business that truly works for them. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated by your business, this conversation will show you how EOS can help you get a grip, take back control, and start making progress toward the future you dream of.   Rob's passion is helping business owners achieve their dreams and get what they want out of their business. Rob grew up in the family ag business. He helped an entrepreneur successfully transition from a distribution operation in California into successful international electrical component manufacturing company in Iowa.  In 2014, Rob started his own company helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses through strategic planning, organizational development, and ISO management systems. To date, Rob has assisted over 70 companies. Rob now implements EOS® and enjoys seeing owners and leadership teams finally get a grip on their business! Rob primarily works throughout the central US but lives near Des Moines Iowa with his wife Rhonda.

America faces a critical shortage in its care workforce, the millions of workers who provide childcare, elder care, and support for people with disabilities. With 9 million job openings expected in direct care over the next decade and an aging population that will see 89 million Americans over 65 by 2060, this crisis affects every family. In this episode, host Lauren Clarke sits down with Amanda Bergson-Shilcock, Senior Fellow at the National Skills Coalition, to explore how immigration policy intersects with America's growing demand for care workers. You'll discover that immigrants already comprise one in four direct care workers and one in three home care workers. Yet, policy barriers often prevent talented caregivers from filling these essential roles.Plus, immigration news from Erickson Immigration Group partner Rob Taylor, covering the latest developments affecting F-1 students from China and Hong Kong, new restrictions on Harvard exchange programs, and the implementation of a new travel ban affecting 19 countries.Show Links:Workforce Advisory Council to Address Urgent Care Workforce Needs: https://nationalskillscoalition.org/news/press-releases/nsc-launches-care-workforce-advisory-council/

Hilarity ensues this week on BEHIND THE LENS thanks to director/co-writer/actor ROB TAYLOR and co-writer/producer/actor NIC COSTA as they discuss their wild and wacky new comedy film RAGING MIDLIFE in this exclusive interview! And what a wild and wacky ride it is! RAGING MIDLIFE is the story of Mark and Alex (wonderfully played by Matt Zak and Nic Costa, respectively), two fanboys who are on a quest to recover a cherished 80s wrestling tank top worn by their idol, "Raging Abraham Lincoln," after Tyler, a grieving daughter determined to fulfill her late father's wish to be torched in the shirt, outbids them in an online auction. Hilarity ensues as Mark and Alex will stop at nothing to find and retrieve this beloved tank top they lost as children, except maybe romance, as sparks fly between Alex and Tyler, forcing Alex to choose between love and the ultimate piece of wrestling memorabilia, not to mention his lifelong BFF Mark. As you will quickly hear, it's not just RAGING MIDLIFE that's wild and wacky, but so are its creators NIC COSTA and ROB TAYLOR who bring so much laughter to this exclusive interview. Listen as we break down the entire film starting with its inception back in 2002 and the decade-long process to bring it into the present of 2025. Highlighting its unique blend of nostalgia and pop culture references, RAGING MIDLIFE features a large cast and approximately 20 different locations. Something that you may not hear any other filmmakers talk about are the challenges involved with securing a federal courthouse as a shooting location. Nic, who is also an attorney (although it didn't really help him in getting the courthouse) gives all the ins and outs and hoops he had to jump through for this important location. Rob dives into the cinematography and working with cinematographer Eric Macey and developing a visual grammar inspired by 1980s filmmakers. Similarly, composer Lisa Molinaro's score and the 1980s-influenced needledrops featured licensed tracks and original compositions which Nic discusses in terms of licensing challenges and costs. Another interesting topic that we touch on is film tax credits and their impact on productions, especially with lo budget/no budget/micro budget indie films. Of course, we spend quite a bit of time talking about casting and character development, most notably with Paula Abdul's Mary Todd. BTW, Paula delivers a really strong performance that is far different from "cameos" she has had in other films. And Star Trek fans will be tickled to hear what Nic and Rob have to say about Trek legend Walter Koenig and his role in RAGING MIDLIFE. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
