Everything is… Awful?! A Real Estate Rant (with Purpose) We've been your resident cheerleaders for almost 300 episodes—offering encouragement, positive vibes, and practical tips. But sometimes... you just need to vent. And today? We're taking a moment to do exactly that—professionally, of course. In this episode, we're laying it all out: the contracts that keep falling through, the sellers who are spiraling, the buyers ghosting after inspections, and the agents who just won't communicate. The market feels off, and if you've been wondering whether you're the only one questioning your sanity—spoiler alert: you're not. From real-life stories of canceled contracts that could've been saved (with just a tiny bit of cooperation), to stats that prove the cancellation trend is real, we're spilling it all. We're not giving up—we're just giving ourselves permission to admit that this job is hard right now. In this episode we'll chat about: Why deals are falling apart after inspections (even when there's nothing wrong) What happens when communication doesn't happen between agents How to support your spiraling sellers without losing your own mind The surprising emotional toll of constant cancellations The importance of a strong pre-listing consultation (and making sellers do their homework) Buyer behavior in 2025: why everything feels more fragile Real-time stats on cancellation rates and why they matter If you've had a seller cry, a buyer back out for no reason, or you're just wondering if this is the twilight zone of real estate—this episode's for you.

Shopify is forcing employees to justify why AI can't do the job they want to hire It's starting. An AI assistant is about to become your coworker. Before a new job posting can go live, it needs to be proven why AI can't do the job. Not only that, Shopify's CEO is forcing all employees to use AI in their daily work – even baking it into performance reviews. He wants them to be more efficient and believes AI is going to do that, saying in a company-wide letter: “Frankly, I don't think it's feasible to opt out of learning the skill of applying AI in your craft; you are welcome to try, but I want to be honest I cannot see this working out today, and definitely not tomorrow.” Shopify was the same company who deleted every recurring meeting with three or more people. New features are coming to WhatsApp For groups, it'll now show how many people are currently online, make it easier to react to messages like you can on Slack, and have more controls for notifications.

Fences are going up, and frustration is boiling. The White House has surrounded itself with anti-scaling barricades ahead of Saturday's mass protests against President Donald Trump, expected to be the largest single-day demonstrations since he returned to power. Organized by handsoff2025.com, the movement has galvanized nearly 250,000 RSVPs across all 50 states with over 1,000 rallies planned in D.C. More than 10,000 demonstrators are expected to flood the National Mall. The group isn't holding back, accusing Trump, Elon Musk, and their billionaire allies of staging a hostile takeover of government, gutting Social Security, slashing Medicaid, firing federal workers, and handing the country over to the ultra-wealthy. Even the White House is taking notice — spring garden tours were abruptly rescheduled. The message is clear: protesters are done watching their rights, communities, and paychecks get steamrolled.

It's all computer! It's taken a week, but David Waldman and Greg Dworkin have almost completed KITM's incomprehensibly complex and possibly hazardous transition from “Skype” over to “Zoom” voice over internet protocol telephony technologies. Without alert tones, Greg can finally enter conversations through his preferred “jump scare” technique. The constitutional crisis just over the horizon has now arrived. Officially, we are still at the “Wait, what?” stage, but this administration plans to repeat it again and louder until they are completely understood. Donald K.

If only we could just cross into Canada and buy enough beer and donuts to fix this thing that we're going to do to them.  Seriously, if they can do it to a young, pretty, lawyered up white woman, just think of what they can do to you. Days of simple heists over, DOGE thugs screwed sharper hobnails into their jackboots in order to kick the doors in over at the U.S. Institute of Peace. Presently we are at the “he said, she said” in the case, but you know the deal with this administration and paperwork... “Trump won't win the election, he's focusing only on his base while Biden… Harris…” bla bla bla bla bla bla. “If only Democrats could capture the white uneducated” bla bla bla bla bla bla. “Now, Democrats should embrace the most effective means of targeted disinformation yet invented and….” (Yet invented, that is.)

Thank you. 01:18 Welcome back to the Founder's Sandbox. I am Brenda McCabe, your host. This is a monthly podcast in which I reach entrepreneurs, business owners, who are going to learn about building resilient, purpose-driven, and sustainable businesses with great corporate governance. 01:38 I like to assist the entrepreneurs in building these scalable, well-governed and resilient business. And what I do with my guests is they tell their origin story about how they've built their own practices. And we'll get to the origin story of my guest this month, Shivani Honwad. Shivani and I have known each other for many years. She was bi-coastal in New York and Los Angeles. We met actually in the Los Angeles. 02:06 Los Angeles Venture Association, LAVA. It has a women affinity group. And she was eagerly contributing to some of the material and programs that we put on for women business owners, actually startups in the LA ecosystem. So I wanna thank you Shivani for joining me this month and the founder Sandbox. Thank you, Brenda. Thank you. So. 02:35 You own your own law firm, the law firm of Shivani Honwad. And it was originally based in New York. I don't know whether you operate nationally, but I'd love you to kind of repeat your origin story when I met you the first time in one of the women in lava. It was a small gathering. And it struck me your story was fascinating, because you were 03:04 working for a law firm in New York, but it was in your social life. You were, you know, out for drinks in the evenings and you would often be approached by women who were in the fashion industry, so models, and inevitably over a drink or maybe not a drink, they would end up using some of your free services. What was that? What were they asking your advice on, Shivani? And with that, we're going to get started on your origin story. 03:32 Thank you. Yeah, sure. So, you know, I was in my twenties in New York City and as one does in New York City, I would often go out. So I, at the time, was working in criminal law with a firm and civil litigation. But so I would go out with my friends. You know, I went to NYU, so I had a lot of friends in the city. And, you know, these models kept approaching me and they were like, hey, I heard you're a lawyer. I need help. 04:00 And I was like, oh, did you get arrested or did something happen like that? And they were like, no. And I kept hearing stories of how they were working for these modeling agencies. Most of the people that approached me were international models and their passports or their visas or something like their paperwork was being withheld so that they didn't really have freedom to travel and then not only that, they wouldn't be paid out. So. 04:25 they would model for days, weeks, sometimes months at a time, and be paid $0. And the agencies were just, there was just a lot of abuse in the industry. And so they kept asking for help. And at the time, I didn't really understand enough about the industry to know how pervasive this was. But I started looking into it because it wasn't just one model approaching me. It was like dozens of models over the course of a few weeks, if not maybe a few months. 04:54 that kept asking me for help. And it got to a point. I imagine your name got around, right? Well, because I wasn't doing anything yet. It was just that I was the only lawyer at all of these events, right? And I mean, this is also pre-Me too. So the other part of it was, is the lawyers they were going to, some of the male lawyers unfortunately, were also taking advantage of them and being like, hey, I'll help you, but you have to be my date to this event like Saturday night. 05:20 So they would see me in my 20s and a woman and woman of color, and they would just be like, oh, OK, so she won't sexually harass me or she won't threaten me in any way. So I think I was seen as a safer space for that. So I think that's why people approach me at parties. And then it got to a point where I just I couldn't really keep hearing it and not do anything about it. 05:46 And so I did some research into it. And then I found lawyers. I knew some in my network that knew how to help them. And the biggest issue, it seemed, was the immigration part, where it was like, if models come into the US under what's called an O-1 visa, and typically it's tied to whoever their agent or employer is if they come in under that route. But if they do it, there's other ways they can do it to have a little more freedom, or they can get their green cards so they have freedom. And that's the EB1A route. 06:16 And so I figured out an attorney who did that and he had agreed to like train me in how to do that. So eventually like I started my own law firm focusing on that. And it was just to help these models get some freedom. And then, you know, I expanded from there to doing some IP and contracts because once I helped them and get got them more stable, they were like, okay, well now I'm doing these ventures and I want you to negotiate these contracts and I want you to be my lawyer for this. Like you were great. So that's how my law firm kind of came to be. 06:44 And it was just 10 years actually, since I've opened it this past August. Oh my goodness. Yeah. It was just, it started out at this crazy need of just people needing help and to be in a safe space. And the irony of it is that I originally went to law school to kind of work on human trafficking issues. Oh my goodness. And I never thought I would see it. Like I never thought I'd work in fashion, but I mean, the work I was doing was tied to that because a lot of the models were essentially held in debt bondage. 07:14 of being tied to these agencies not being paid out and saying like, you owe us this much money so we're not gonna pay you or what have you. So I think that's how it's still, I got to do what I went to law school for, but in a different way than I had initially thought. Like I thought I would work for the UN or something like, but it was so hard to get into the UN. I applied nonstop originally, but like I got to do this. And like we changed some laws around in this space. Like, 07:43 The Boston Globe did like the Spotlight team did a piece on this and like some of my clients that I was also interviewed for. And then, you know, we met with officials in city hall. And so the freelances and free act, which got passed in New York also applies to models. So if an agency, you know, gets payment from a client to the agency and they don't pay the model within 30 days, the state of New York will actually fine the agency. 08:10 So the models now have recourse to collect payment faster. Excellent. So I would ask you later to give me this law, and we'll put it in the show notes. Because this is amazing. You have been a trailblazer in a serendipitous way. You started out, or while you're studying law, you thought you would work in sexual traffic, and you did not, or human trafficking. And you were doing criminal law. 08:38 ended up actually representing fashion models, immigration issues, as well as eventually venturing into assisting them in their contract management and IP. So amazing story. And I loved one thing that you did say. You said, I couldn't not do anything, right? I researched it and I just could not just let this go. So. 09:08 Very, very resilient, Shivani. How did that experience or others inform you to actually move all the way out here to Los Angeles and set up practice? And tell us a little bit about that. So I don't think you and I have actually talked about this before. But originally, what brought me out to LA was some of the work that I did here for the models. I was recruited by some organizations in the e-sports area. 09:38 Um, you know, e-sports is actually pretty big out here in California. And, um, there was some e-sports organizations that wanted me to help implement essentially policies and basic human rights for the gamers, because, um, kind of what we had done for the models in New York, um, there was really no regulations a couple of years ago. It's still pretty bare minimum, but. 10:02 for the e-sports gamers. And you have all these essentially mostly teenage boys, there are female gamers as well, but in the e-sports tournaments, and they were just taking a ton of speed or drinking nonstop Monster Energy drinks, and they were just dying, quite frankly, they were under all this pressure to perform. And again, there was really no regulation around it. And their contracts were devoid of like... 10:28 just basic human rights of like, okay, you can get a bathroom break, you get time to eat, you get time to sleep. So originally I was recruited out here to kind of work on those issues. And I will say, if you've never been to an e-sports tournament and like in a stadium, I advise going, it's an experience. Wow. This is like a trillion dollar industry and it like traverses all socioeconomic, like really like it. 10:56 It just transcends all lines. It's just an incredible scene to experience, just the fandom of it all. So I was in that space for a little bit originally and it just, it was a very chaotic environment that I just didn't really want to be in anymore. Right. And then, yeah, I just- And you were doing this from 11:26 from your own practice? At that time, you'd set up your practice, so you just recently celebrated 10 years of your law firm, Shivani Hanwad. Yeah. You were actually serving the e-sports from your law firm. Yeah, so I was doing some contract stuff. I was doing visas for the gamers, things like that. So I was getting more familiar with it. But it was because the issues paralleled. 11:53 basically what was happening with models in New York with the sports gamers in California. So that's kind of how the whole thing started. And then, like I said, it wasn't really for me, but then I had made some inroads here. I got connected to Lava and some other organizations. And then I got offered the position to teach at NYU's LA campus. So that's kind of anchored me here in Los Angeles now. But yeah, so I still do kind of the same stuff and I work. 12:22 you know, same. The thing with immigration law is it's federal. So my clients are all over the world and a lot of my clients also in the fashion, creative industries, their contracts are mostly like for New York and California based things. And like I'm admitted to practice law in both New York and California. So they just email me, like we do Zooms or, you know, calls and stuff and go through stuff. So yeah, I serve clients all over the world basically. 12:51 position you have with New York Stern's LA campus? It's not Stern. So it's New York University. Okay. I went to Stern undergrad. Yes. And then, but New York University's Los Angeles campus is just a general campus. It's not a specific school. Okay. So we serve students from all schools. And actually we have multiple global campuses. So we have two other degree granting campuses. One is NYU Abu Dhabi. 13:21 and one is NYU Shanghai. So this is what come to our LA program. It's an undergrad study abroad only program. So it's one semester and they come mainly from our New York campus. Some are, we also do have a lot of students that come from our Abu Dhabi campus and our Shanghai campus. And then they might be as part of other programs too. And so they come out here, they spend a semester, they, we work on getting them internships. 13:48 And they just kind of see, like most of them want to go into the entertainment industries in, you know, whether it's media, like screenwriting, directing, producing, or music. So they're just trying to see if they like the LA environment, make some inroads for if they want to like pursue their career in LA or New York or what's better for them. So that's the program that we have out here right now. And like we're growing actively because the campus opened in fall of 2019. 14:15 closed promptly in spring of 2020. And then just reopened fully again last year. All right. And do you teach a specific subject? Well, yeah. So the course that I teach, it's basically structured around like entrepreneurship or creatives. So I bring in kind of my business and my legal backgrounds. My, the director of the NYU LA program is amazing. And she gave me carte blanche to kind of design a course. 14:44 She was like, think of them as your future clients. What do you wish they knew? So that's kind of what we designed. So we like include like how to pitch, how to develop a deck and then how to pitch that deck. I also do a negotiation simulation because oftentimes these students have never like negotiated a deal before. So I go over, you know, what are basic deal terms that you should at least understand and if nothing else have these in a contract. And then I design a whole simulation and like put them in groups. 15:13 and give them mock contracts and they have to negotiate it out. And it's really fun because every single time we do it, they all start with the same contract, the same roles, and everything. And then they all present at the end of class what their deal terms were. And no group has ever had the same deal terms. And the reason for that is because it's also to show them that you all come in with your own biases and preferences and experiences and values. 15:41 Yes. It doesn't really matter what the other people are doing. It's just like, what makes sense to you? What do you feel comfortable with? Because if you feel comfortable with the deal and you're okay performing for this rate or with these terms or whatever, then you're going to be fine. And so, because then I always ask them, did you want someone else's deal? And they might say that they wanted parts of it. They're like, oh, I didn't know I could add that. Sometimes if we're doing an artist contract negotiation, 16:10 my female students will always be like, they'll add in hair and makeup budget. And then the male students didn't know like, oh, that's a thing or like, how much is hair and mica? And like women know that it should be expensive. So they're like, oh, I could do that. So like, it's things like that that come up cause I'm like, you can add in, if it's not written there, you can add stuff in. Like I give you flexibility. And they're like, okay, I'll think about that next time. But because they negotiated out, they felt heard. 16:40 So they're comfortable with the deal that they agreed to because they felt like they were heard, they felt valued. And so they were fine with their deal overall. So again, although they may have picked up some things that they would like for next time, no one's really been outright like, my deal was terrible. Like everyone's kind of felt like kind of comfortable because they get time to talk it through. And I think that's like the biggest takeaway is like, as long as like the other side feels heard, 17:09 you can agree to a situation where all parties kind of essentially win and can work together well. And thank you, this is fascinating. So you have an entrepreneurship program at the New York University's Los Angeles campus. There's another campus in Abu Dhabi and Shanghai. And so it's a year abroad. So is it cross-cultural mix and what students? Yes, but. 17:38 Sorry, I'm just gonna clarify. So it's not a year abroad for Abu Dhabi and Shanghai. They're actually degree granting campuses. Okay. So the Abu Dhabi campus is actually a really incredible program. It's a four year program. Okay. And it only has like a 2% admission rate cause tuition is free at that campus. So they're completely separate programs but they're all under the NYU umbrella. But I'm just saying that students come to our LA campus for a semester. It's a semester, right? Yeah, for a semester just to kind of do a semester abroad essentially. 18:09 And how many entrepreneurs have gone through your program? So, okay, so let me also clarify, sorry. I teach the Entrepreneurship for Creatives course, but like our entire curriculum here is centered around the entertainment industry. So there's a movie marketing class, there's a screenwriting class, there's pitching your project class, there's a history of film class. So it's all centered around entertainment. There's music courses, there's stuff like that. 18:38 The entrepreneur part is just kind of what I do because like, that's my background. And also like if you're a creative, you are an entrepreneur in the industry, like you are your brand. So mine's the only one, my course is the only one focused on that. So it's not that we have entrepreneurs here. They all want to be in the entertainment industry, but it's part of being in the entertainment industry, you are an entrepreneur. So just to clarify that a little bit, that it's not a separate program. Excellent. And thank you for that, you know, clarifying. 19:08 And I would like you to speak about your own new venture. So not only do you have your own law practice, you have recently started an initiative that is the South Asian Creator Collective. Tell us a little bit more about this. Yeah, so we launched that out of the NYU LA campus. Okay. Because I just found out like that my South Asian students 19:38 They, you know, we have only a few, usually every semester, but they just didn't have the community that some of the other creative communities had because typically South Asian families, your parents want you to be a doctor or an engineer and not really like, okay, you can have a music hobby or be a dancer as a hobby, but not have that as a career. So there was a lot of lack of support. And then I represent some South Asian artists. 20:06 whether they're writers or dancers or creators, producers, things like that in New York and LA. And so they also obviously would say the same thing. So I kind of wanted to bring everyone together to not only create a community for like my clients, my friends who are in the industry, but also to help build that bridge for my South Asian students to have like, you know, mentors in the industry. So we had our first meeting earlier this, a couple of months ago. 20:32 What came out of that was really cool that I brought together my friends and clients. They've already started collabing together on stuff. And then Brenda through you and Ty, I met people who are possibly interested in investing in South Asian creators projects. So we're looking at doing a possible pitch event in the spring to have our creators pitch projects and then to have investors possibly invest in them. So I like the idea of just bringing people together to kind of create this community 21:01 and to help each other kind of, you know, use everyone's skill sets just to create a better whole together. I love it. And I was absolutely thrilled that you were at the Thai So Cal's recent event with the preview and a screening of Show Her the Money, as well as we had our final. 21:22 competition for five women-owned businesses. So thank you for joining us there. We did that at the Noah House in Hollywood, of which I'm a member, and look forward to hearing more about the PitchFest that is probably gonna be in the spring of next year. Hopefully. Noah's crazy though about that, show her the money screening. I didn't realize how many people I knew in the film. Like I knew... 21:48 Liz, like from this organization that we were part of in New York, Dreamers and Doors, were like mainly female entrepreneurs. Like I knew her when she was starting Sogal. And so it was so crazy to see how far they've come. And then like I knew so many other people in the film. And I was like, wait, I knew them back then. I didn't know they were in this film. And like Naseem was in there. Like there was just so many people that I was saw in the film that I was like, wait, I know these people personally. So it was just a really cool screening to see. And to see so many. 22:18 people that I've known over the years, just in how far they've come over the years too. Was really cool. Yeah, initially it's a movement now. So initially Show Her the Money was gonna be shown in 50 US cities. It's gone viral. I think we're up in to the 200s and yeah, it's a movement. So thank you for being, and it's a small world, right? Oh, completely. We all end up, yes, there are no borders. So yeah, thank you. 22:45 And I look forward to that launch and I would be happy to promote it here in the founder sandbox as well as on my YouTube channel. You know, this switch gears. I want to I initially I've known you for years, but I really wanted you to come on to the founder sandbox because not only your story of not resiliency, but to the move across from the from LA to from New York to LA. But 23:14 you're passionate clearly about resilience. And I am also passionate. And it's the type of work I do with with founders as they're scaling their businesses just working on this resiliency, I say muscles. You recently hosted during LA's tech week, about two weeks back, a session on resiliency. Tell us a little bit about it and why you wanted to spearhead that. 23:42 Um, so I did my first LA tech week event last year, and that was a great learning experience. We did it all about pivoting and we had like 400 RSVPs for like 75 spots because I did at NYU's LA campus and we're small. So we had a fire martial capacity of 75. So it was just like overwhelming. But the original reason I launched that event was because 24:09 Um, when I looked at the original LA tech week calendar, all I saw were men on that calendar. And I only, if I saw a panel with a woman, it was like one woman and like five men. And I was like, I have so many incredible friends and clients that are women doing incredible things in the tech space and they never get the platform to talk about this. So I wanted a female forward event. Um, so I did that one and then that one went really well. So then everyone was like, 24:37 Okay, what are you doing for tech week this year? So that's how I was like, okay, so everyone really liked the pivoting one because they said they learned something from it and it was something everyone could relate to. So then, you know, as we're coming out of COVID, a lot of people have felt burnout and have felt the need to kind of just like reinvent themselves or just kind of rise from the ashes to a degree. So then this year's theme, I was like, I feel like I wanna do something around resilience. 25:04 because it's about like weathering the storm and coming out and like, you know, thriving again. And so again, I did it female forward. But what was really incredible is a lot of my male clients and friends also came and like others that I didn't know. And like all of them just like loved the event. And they're like, this has been the most informative event I've ever been to. And I said that at the beginning of my event, I was like, you know, this is like, yes, I, you know, my panel is all women, but 25:33 we can't change the ratio of where only 2% of women receive VC funding if we don't have men in the room, because you need everyone at the table to help change that statistic. And so by sharing the stories of like, again, they were my clients and friends, but they all run like incredible organizations. Like Steph Rizal was one of our speakers. She's an incredible singer songwriter. She just wrote a book for creatives and self-care. 26:00 I had Jazzy Collins, who's the first black person to win an Emmy for casting. And she has a production house called Force Perspective. I had Mickey Reynolds, who used to be the CEO, co-founder of Grid 110, and is now head of programs at Slosnikov, a VC fund. And then I had May Muna, who is amazing. She's a refugee. And she started two organizations, one called the Tia Foundation to help refugees in the US. And then she started this... 26:28 restaurant called Flavors From Afar where refugee chefs essentially have their menus every month featured at the restaurant. So like I got to feature these incredible stories and founders and you know, just how they like, May Muna, her Flavors From Afar restaurant is now Michelin like rated, but she was fired from a Carl's Jr. That's like her story. She's like, yeah, I was fired from Carl's Jr. and now I have a Michelin restaurant. 26:54 So where you start and kind of what happens, it's like you just have to keep going. And all of them kind of had stories like that of being like, you know, dismissed somewhere early in their career and just like, keep like, just keep going. And like, Jazzy too, like, you know, she was just like dismissed for being usually the only black female in any room. And now she's the first black person to win an Emmy earlier this year. And it's just like how, you know, yes, in casting, sorry. But yeah, and how that like just 27:23 those stories of how that rises. And I think a lot of people learn from that because a lot of them were just like, you just have to keep trying, or you just have to try something. And if it doesn't work, you know, go a different direction, but fail faster was kind of the message that they were putting out there that like you'll still figure it out and you just have to like have a really supportive community around you. And as long as you have that, like you can just like find the strength to keep going. 27:50 Tudos to you. This is a podcast that is absolutely filled with lots of nuggets, your own story in New York, coming out to LA, you're teaching your own entrepreneurship journey and your passion with respect to the underrepresented, right? And actually putting on events. 28:16 and Female Forward as well as last year in pivoting is thank you for being part of the ecosystem here in Los Angeles and next year I wonder what you're going to do in LA Tech Week. I know this week was pretty burned out still so we'll see. We have time. So you know I'd like to give you the opportunity to provide how my listeners can contact you or how's it best to contact you. 28:46 Um, yeah, I'm on LinkedIn. I'm on Instagram. My Instagram is just my name, Shivani Hanwad. Um, my email is just shivani at shivanilaw.com. So I guess any of those are kind of the best ways to find me or connect with me. 29:01 Okay, and we're going to shift gears back to this sandbox. You are a guest here to the founder sandbox. And again, my mission is to build resilient, scalable, and purpose-driven companies. So I always like to ask each of my guests what the word means, resilience, purpose-driven, and scalable, sustainable businesses. Each of my guests has a different meaning. And it's 29:30 actually one of the highlights of my podcast for me. Okay, so am I doing all three? Yes, you will. Okay. You already talked a little bit about resilience, but what does it mean to you? What does resilience mean to you? Shivani Ha. I think resilience just means to me, it's just like to persevere, to keep going. And I think all of us have our own challenges, obstacles and hardships. And I think finding the strength to just kind of get through those. 29:59 Because you don't always get over everything that you kind of maybe get through in your life, but getting through it is, I guess, the way to look at it in my mind. And then just kind of still making stuff happen, even if it's hard, is the way I look at resilience. To persevere, still making it happen. Thank you. Purpose-driven. You're very purpose-driven. How many back? If we were to scale you. 30:28 Well, purpose-driven, I just find it like, you know, just quick tangent, but like what originally drew me into law school and like wanting to work in the human trafficking space was like, you know, I was caught in these monsoon floods in India when I was working in Bollywood. And I learned about human trafficking and that's kind of what I wanted to work on. And I have worked on it in different ways, like, you know, changing that law in Delaware and then my work on the TVPGA as part of the New York State Trafficking Coalition. 30:58 So I have worked on that. And I just think that's always been kind of my, I guess, anchor point in a way of like a lot of the work or the pro bono work even that I do through my law firm. And part of why I've kept my law firm is because now no one tells me how I get to spend my time or money. I wanna work on representing children that have been trafficked and do those cases pro bono. I can do that. No one's like, no, you need more billable hours. Like it's up to me. 31:26 So I have a couple of nonprofits that I work with that I represent kids that have been trafficked to get them either status here or just like to a safer spot. And I really love that work. So the work I do with the creatives and everything, it kind of funds and provides me the ability to do this other work. So I think purpose-driven is just like figuring out what it is that you're passionate about and what your anchor point is. Like, why are you doing this? Like, what is it that's getting you through and what gets you out of bed? 31:55 Like I get really excited to like work on my clients' cases because I think they're doing really incredible things. Yes. So I think purpose-driven is just like that, like finding what you're passionate about and like how you can have a positive impact in the community. I have goosebumps. I had, you went off on a little tangent. That was a very important tangent and as it is your anchor point. So thank you for sharing, Shivani. Sustainable growth. 32:23 Okay, what's sustainable? So this is something I'm working on now. Yes. I think, you know, for me, I was an accidental law firm founder, you know, that like I kept meeting these people and like that needed help and like I, I never really thought I would start my own law firm. And so I think it's been a journey of figuring out how to like run a law firm and grow it and all of this and like. 32:48 I'm getting to that point where it's like, okay, what am I doing? Am I still doing this? Am I merging it with something else or someone else? And I'm very fortunate to have really great partners. I'm really fortunate to have the opportunity to these couple of law firms have offered for me to merge my law firm with theirs, join them, all of that. So it's figuring that part of it out. But I think, you know, to be sustainable or scalable, I think one thing, especially people who are type A like me, 33:17 that we struggle with is delegating. And that like finding, you know, you're not good at everything. You're not like, the first thing I did was hire a tax guy. Cause I was like, I don't do this. Like I don't know how to do anything tax wise, but it's just like figuring out like, you know, what you're good at and what you're not good at instead of trying to learn everything, figuring out how to delegate or finding team members to help you with the stuff you're not good at. Because I think a lot of people, especially founders try and hold on to everything. 33:46 And that's kind of what leads to burnout because if you're trying to do stuff that you're just not great at, you just always are gonna feel defeated. But if you have other people that are good at that stuff, supporting you in that, and you get to focus on the stuff you're really good at, then that's gonna energize you because then you're being more successful because you're doing the things you're great at. And then you're being supported still by other people. So you have that mental bandwidth to keep doing and keep running in the right direction. 34:14 what the stuff that you're passionate about, you're good at, what you're trying to grow. So I think to be sustainable or scalable, learning how to delegate is a really important skillset that it takes some time and emotional bandwidth to be able to be okay with letting go of something. Cause like most founders, like their companies are their babies. Like they're growing it. And you know, it's just so hard. It's like saying like, 34:44 It's like you're finding a nanny for your child. Like, okay, I'm okay with letting this person do this part of my business. So. Excellent analogy. And it also probably has to do with your own awareness, right? And the maturity of recognizing there are certain things that I just don't wanna do, but I don't like it or I'm not good at it. And the maturity and awareness that it's better done by someone else, right? 35:13 Yes. And I'm also self-employed and, you know, pushing through. And I have also delegated many things. I'm having a fantastic team, the producer of my podcast, and I let them do and tell, I follow their orders to tell you the truth. But you need that sometimes. Sometimes it's easier if someone just tells you what you need to do and then they're just handling the rest. 35:42 Um, and thank you for joining me in the, the, um, founder sandbox podcast this month, you know, um, to my listeners, if you liked this episode with Shivani Han what sign up for the monthly release, um, where founders, business owners, corporate directors and professional service providers provide their own origin stories.

&Open co-founder, Mark Legge, launches new company The Solace - redefining how we grieve in the digital age

The Solace, an innovative digital space dedicated to grief and remembrance, has officially launched in Ireland. Founded by serial entrepreneur Mark Legge (previously co-founder of &Open), The Solace is designed to support not just those grieving, but also funeral professionals and the wider community impacted by death. By bridging care, connection, and innovation, The Solace offers a streamlined approach to memorialisation and funeral coordination, ensuring that those experiencing grief are supported with sensitivity and ease. Unlike traditional obituary services and death notice sites, The Solace is built as a fully realised space for grief. The platform allows families to create digital memorials with photographs, videos, and shared stories, ensuring that a loved one's legacy is preserved and accessible. For funeral directors, The Solace addresses key pain points and simplifies logistical processes, offering tools for publishing death notices, managing RSVPs, coordinating charity donations, and streamlining communication. Bringing a fully comprehensive experience under one roof, The Solace has sourced from trusted vendors to offer a curated selection of mementoes and gifts, such as sympathy cards, candles, books and urns. Bringing years of experience in designing innovative solutions, Mark Legge co-founded &Open, a company that redefined corporate gifting by replacing impersonal options with curated, meaningful gestures. Now, with The Solace, he applies this same ethos of a human-first, thoughtfully designed approach to grieving and funeral planning. CEO Mark Legge said on the launch: "When my father died, it was one of the most challenging experiences of my life, in terms of both loneliness and the complexities - not only in the immediate after, but the months and years that followed. In Ireland, we take pride in 'doing death well,' yet many traditional services no longer reflect the way we live today. The need for something different is clear. Many people who have experienced grief share that traditional services can often feel disconnected or limited. I wanted to create a space where remembrance felt personal and accessible. The Solace is built to offer that." While death is inevitable, the way we honour and remember our loved ones is evolving, catalysed by changing societal and technological trends. Notably global cremation rates reached 61.9% in 2024, with traditional gravestones giving way to the need for lasting digital legacies. Further to this, the rise of forum-style social media platforms, such as Reddit, demonstrates that people are increasingly seeking digital spaces to share experiences and engage within communities. Despite being a growing $62 billion industry as of 2023, the funeral sector is currently underserved by low-engagement, content-poor options. The Solace is at the forefront of this evolution of the industry, driven by such shifts. With global ambitions, Mark looks to replicate the success of his previous companies in this new project, bringing both his expertise in creative thinking and experience scaling a business internationally. Recognising the need for a more accessible and thoughtful way to support grievers and the extended community of the deceased, Mark leveraged this passion for creating human-centred digital experiences to transform an industry that had remained largely unchanged for decades. Legge added, "This is a sector that has not seen a huge amount of innovation over the years; from my previous ventures I knew that a thoughtful and experience-driven approach would be of value to funeral directors and grievers alike. There is a growing desire for a more engaging, experiential approach; over the last 12 months, working with a small team to build The Solace, we have spoken with families, funeral directors and communities to shape a space that meets the demands of the modern market." With an understanding beyond digital, The Solace also provides tangible ways to express remembrance. ...

Funded by the Better Together Women’s Giving Circle, these microgrants support recipients in achieving financial stability, repairing vehicles, pursuing education, and covering emergency medical or rental expenses. Over the event’s five years, a total of $102,604.32 has been distributed. CEO Melanie Conner emphasized the program’s role as a “hand-up,” not a handout, enabling families to regain self-sufficiency. This year’s ceremony, attended by nearly 100 people, highlighted its remarkable growth since starting via Zoom in 2020 with just 15 participants. STORY 2: Greater Atlanta Christian School Collects Food for Salvation Army Greater Atlanta Christian School has participated in the 11Alive/Salvation Army Can-A-Thon since 2012, and this year, its 1,800 students collected 28,730 non-perishable food items. These donations aim to combat food insecurity in Gwinnett County and beyond. On December 6, students from all grade levels sorted, packed, and delivered the items, accompanied by festive music from the GAC Concert Choir. Efforts throughout November included competitions and family-supported shopping, which helped surpass donation goals. School officials highlighted the event as a reflection of Christ’s love through service and generosity, emphasizing the true spirit of Christmas and the community's shared commitment to giving. STORY 3: Gwinnett will celebrate Hanukkah with five public menorah lightings Gwinnett County will celebrate Hanukkah starting December 25, aligning with Christmas this year due to the lunar-based Jewish calendar. The Chabad Enrichment Center of Gwinnett will host five menorah lightings across the county through January 1st.

Partnering with Jackson EMC, Walton EMC, Republic Services, and Gwinnett County departments, the program transforms trees into mulch for parks and public spaces. Drop-off locations include select fire stations, with trees transported to Bethesda Park for the main event on January 25. Executive Director Schelly Marlatt emphasizes the environmental benefits, noting treecycling reduces landfill waste, prevents harmful methane emissions, and enriches the soil. Volunteers 14+ can register online to assist during the event. STORY 5: Murphy and Watkins feted as they depart Gwinnett's school board Mary Kay Murphy retired from Gwinnett County Public Schools’ board after nearly 30 years, leaving a legacy of growth and innovation, including the creation of 76 schools and the Gwinnett Educational Management System.

December 25th wasn't randomly picked from a divine calendar. The early church intentionally aligned Christmas with a Roman pagan holiday. Now, don't get so spiritual that you get stuck on that fact. They were not trying to blend in; they wanted to flip the script. Their goal? Turn a celebration of the unholy into a party for the Holy One. But fast forward, Christians, believers, and children of God have allowed unholiness to reclaim the celebration.  It's the RSVPs of believers that have the biggest impact on whether holiness or unholiness is exalted. Did you know that 90% of adults in the U.S. profess to be Christians, talk about the power of influence, imagine if 90% of the 90% was intentional about reclaiming December 25th to celebrate the birth of a Savior, we have the bandwidth to breathe holiness back into Christmas.  But we need to ask ourselves what are we doing individually to contribute to the holiness of the celebration.www.BibleDeliverance.org

We also recount the Diwali celebration that Whitney, Lance, and Momma Ashley attended last weekend—a delightful break from Whitney's month-long Halloween festivities, where she still got to dress up, enjoy incredible Indian cuisine, and learn about this beautiful festival of lights with our dear friends Priya and Momma Amma from this season's Episode 3. Meanwhile, back in Los Angeles, Courtney is gearing up for her massive Halloween party, with RSVPs now exceeding 80 guests. As she reviews the evening's catered menu, Courtney considers only contributing one homemade item...cornbread. But Whitney reminds her of last year's party when dozens of her freshly baked corn muffins went untouched by the “Ozempic Chic” crowd. One thing we know will be a hit is the Skin & Bones Margarita! The sisters also revisit some of their favorite Halloween stories from past episodes, pondering whether the combination of peanut butter on white bread and taco soup is a flavor profile they've been missing. Join us as we indulge in our Halloween obsession for one last week before returning to interviews, new recipes, and, of course, praising all the mommas! Happy Halloween!!! What you'll hear: What we've been cookin', who we've been entertainin', and any kitchen conundrums of the week... often in our Momma's Texas accent Chatting with siblings about what it was like around their dinner table growing up, favorite family recipes and stories that celebrate moms Interviews with celebrity chefs, restaurateurs, and culinary entrepreneurs about the influence and inspiration from their moms Weekly recipes from us and our guests posted out the Hey Sis, Eat This website - Website: https://www.heysiseatthis.com   - Recipes from our Us and Our Guests: https://www.heysiseatthis.com/our-recipes  - Call into the Hey Sis Hotline: 1-866-4 HEY SIS or 1-866-443-9747 - Email: hello@heysiseatthis.com   - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heysiseatthis/  - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/heysiseatthis  - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heysiseatthis

USA Basketball announced Hamby's inclusion on Monday, where she joins Cierra Burdick, Rhyne Howard, and Hailey Van Lith. Brink, who suffered a torn ACL, was initially part of the team but had to withdraw due to injury. Hamby, a Norcross High School graduate, previously helped the U.S. win gold at the FIBA 3x3 AmeriCup in 2023. A veteran in her 10th WNBA season, Hamby has been a two-time All-Star and is averaging 17.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game for the Sparks.

Gwinnett police were conducting a detail targeting racing, reckless driving, and DUI when they observed Vaduva's black BMW speeding on Interstate 85. Despite attempts to pull him over, Vaduva fled at high speed, eventually being tracked by police aviation units to a residential area in Duluth. He abandoned the vehicle, leaving a two-year-old child behind, but was swiftly apprehended by officers. Vaduva faces multiple charges including felony fleeing and eluding, reckless driving, and child restraint violations. The child was unharmed and placed in the care of a family member. During the operation, police conducted 485 traffic stops, issuing 658 citations, including charges for DUI and reckless driving.

Initially launched as a pilot in 2021, the unit has grown to six teams and achieved a 98% jail diversion rate in 2023. Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson emphasized the program's success in connecting individuals with needed support services, handling an average of 15 to 20 calls daily and responding to 4,800 calls in 2023 alone. This expansion underscores Gwinnett County's commitment to enhancing public safety and supporting mental health initiatives. STORY 5: Gwinnett County Achieves Gold-Tier BioReady Community Status Gwinnett County has achieved BioReady Community gold status from Georgia Bio, marking it as the first in metro Atlanta to receive this recognition at the BIO International Convention in San Diego. This designation reflects Gwinnett's commitment to supporting biotechnology growth through progressive zoning policies and robust infrastructure. Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson highlighted the county's appeal for biotech firms seeking ideal locations for research and development. Economic Development Division Director Randall Toussaint emphasized ongoing investments like The Water Tower and Rowen, which bolster Gwinnett's attractiveness to life sciences industries. The BioReady program evaluates communities on zoning practices and infrastructure, aiding biotech companies and developers in selecting optimal locations for their operations. We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: INGLES 8 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

EA - AI, Animals, and Digital Minds 2024 - Retrospective by Constance Li

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: AI, Animals, and Digital Minds 2024 - Retrospective, published by Constance Li on June 19, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This is a retrospective of the AIADM 2024 Conference, Retreat, and Co-working in London. Tl;dr: ~130 people joined together over the span of three days to learn, connect, and make progress towards making AI safe for nonhumans. Background This event followed in the footsteps of the October 2023 Artificial Intelligence, Conscious Machines, and Animals: Broadening AI Ethics conference held at Princeton by Peter Singer, Tse Yip Fai, Leonie Bossert and Thilo Hagendorff. It was planned in a [formerly private] AI Coalition channel on the Hive Slack that many of the attendees of the original conference were invited to for the purposes of continuing conversation. It was here that I discovered that running the conference in 2024 would be highly counterfactual because Peter Singer was retiring from Princeton and none of the previous organizers were planning on repeating it. We were able to get permission to hold the second iteration of the conference and even got a promotional endorsement by Peter Singer. The process of planning took place over several months and was independently funded. Objective The goal for this event was to explore how we can develop AI technologies in a way that protects and benefits nonhuman animals and potentially sentient AI. We had the dual purpose of increasing the salience of the field of AI and Nonhumans and also getting potential leaders to network with one another. To advance the former goal, the content and programming needed to be highly accessible so we made it hybrid, recorded as much as practical, created website pages and social media assets for speakers to help with pre-conference promotion and future SEO for the speakers, and added more event space as the RSVPs crept up. It was open to anyone who could offer value to furthering this field, including, but not limited to, thought leaders, researchers, industry workers, funders and hopeful future contributors. Timing and location All in-person events took place in London immediately after EAG London (May 31 - June 2) June 3: Conference (hybrid: onsite - live room and overflow room, offsite - livestreaming, and virtual) June 4-5: Retreat (virtual and in-person options that only synced up during hour of livestreamed lightning talks) June 6-11: Co-working (in person) Attendees There were 260+ applications for attendance. A directory was created of people who consented to have their application answers shared with other attendees. These included answers to questions such as: What is your experience or demonstrated interest in the topic? Why do you want to attend? What can you offer to other attendees? Conference The 1st day was a hybrid conference: It took place at the London School of Economics (LSE), split between 2 rooms which had around 50-60 total attendees.It was also streamed live to Newspeak House which had 10-15 attendees. Around 50-70 people attended via zoom. We had a very tight schedule and prioritized having more time for Q&A so each talk was only 10 - 20 minutes long and we grouped similar talks together as panels.

Around 8-10% of the human genome comes from these "endogenous retroviruses," which were previously considered "junk DNA." The research identifies the MERVL endogenous retrovirus as playing a crucial role in the transition to pluripotency during early embryo development. The MERVL-gag protein from this virus was found to modulate the action of the URI gene, providing a new understanding of the symbiotic co-evolution of endogenous retroviruses with host cells.   STORY 7: Norcross Charter School To Host Open House BIA Charter School in Norcross, a tuition-free K-8 state charter school, will host an open house on February 4 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. The school focuses on maximizing students' individual talents for success in the 21st century, emphasizing personalized and project-based learning, along with computer coding. The event allows prospective students and their families to interact with faculty, staff, and students, take tours of the school facility, and sign up for the lottery-based admission process.

Today's quote is from Brené Brown: “choose discomfort over resentment.”   Amy and Kat discuss Brené's habit of using a “boundary ring” where she spins her ring around three times before she makes a decision as a way to keep her from saying yes when she really means no.   It's 25 days until Kat's wedding and she's chasing down 100 RSVPs because of this very “forward” thing she did with her invites.   Amy shares a list of things you should never say to your partner: Don't use “never” and “always” Instead of “yes, but” use “yes, and” Don't compare: “you should be more like _____” Avoid dismissals like “you're overreacting”, “calm down”, and “this is not that big of a deal”   One of Amy's goals this year is trying to be a better adult and Kat talks about the process of growing up and “getting” old” in her latest episode of You Need Therapy.   HOSTS:Amy Brown // RadioAmy.com // @RadioAmy Kat Defatta // @Kat.Defatta // @YouNeedTherapyPodcast // YouNeedTherapyPodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
