    Join your host, Syama Bunten as she talks with India Gary-Martin, the former CTO & COO of international banking operations spanning 40 countries. India is also a trusted advisor to Fortune 100 CEOs and founders, and the visionary behind the Act Three Convening — a global gathering redefining what midlife means for women. But India's path from a Cincinnati living room learning blackjack with her stepfather to the executive floors of Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan wasn't planned — it emerged. And that emergence, she'll tell you, was the whole point. In this conversation, India shares what 25 years in global financial services, building a beauty brand from scratch, and coaching some of the world's most senior leaders has taught her — and why the most powerful career move you'll ever make might be the one you accidentally stumble into. Key Topics: How to apply an abundance mindset to wealth-building How to identify values-aligned mentors and sponsors even when they don't look like you Why listeners who feel underpaid need to understand "total compensation" — and how one boss's correction changed India's entire financial trajectory What it really feels like to bet everything on your own business — and what listeners can take away from India's near-bankruptcy experience How to rebuild wealth and professional identity after a major financial setback Why listeners in midlife are navigating more than career transitions — and what India's Act Three Convening offers as a solution What it looks like to use your wealth intentionally — paying for college debt-free, building a home for aging parents, and investing in experiences over things   Connect with India Gary-Martin online:  Website: https://www.leadershipforexecs.com  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/indiagarymartin/  Act Three Convening: https://www.act3convening.com   Find more from Syama Bunten:  Attend a Salon near you: wealthcatalyst.com/salons Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/syama.co/ Join Syama's Substack: https://thewealthcatalystwithsyama.substack.com/  Website: https://wealthcatalyst.com  Download Syama's Free Resources: https://wealthcatalyst.com/resources  Wealth Catalyst Summit: https://wealthcatalyst.com/summits  Speaking: https://syamabunten.com  Big Delta Capital: www.bigdeltacapital.com

    “Takes All Kinds”—An American Public Affairs Discussion and Demonstration of Journalistic Theatre Actor and playwright Dan Hoyle and his director, celebrated director/actor Aldo Billingslea, provide an inside look at the creation of their widely acclaimed new solo performance piece “Takes All Kinds.” Dan's blog reminds the viewer that  ”I'll be disappearing into these different characters and stories and you'll be glad to journey there with me. They've been traveling with me these last couple years. I think they'll stay with you too.” With “Takes All Kinds,” Hoyle and Billingslea use journalistic theater and embodied storytelling to portray powerful, funny and complex people caught in the social and political currents roiling our society. They create portraits of everyday Americans through moving and funny true stories of American democracy: school board showdowns in Florida, grassroots organizers in Atlanta, barber shops in Las Vegas, deprogrammers of violent extremists in Missouri and more. In this mostly offstage oriented “talk-back” presentation, listeners and observers will have an opportunity to explore with Hoyle and Billingslea how thousands of hours go into a little over an hour show. The artists' view reveals (somewhat) the amazing mystery of live transformative theatrical narrative that has everyone laughing and pin-drop listening with the next moment. And always has the audience talking as they depart. Yes—it's about politics, but could experiencing public affairs embodied theatre journalism bring people something they needed more than they realized?   “Stunning…something almost supernatural happens,” according to the  San Francisco Chronicle. Currently based at the Marsh Theatre, “Takes All Kinds” has toured elsewhere in California plus New York City, Charleston and Chicago, and will be heading to Idaho, Florida and more in 2026. About the Speakers Oakland-based Dan Hoyle is an actor and writer whose immersion research theater work has been hailed as "riveting, funny and poignant" (The New York Times) and "hilarious, moving and very necessary" (Salon). His solo shows, all originated at The Marsh in San Francisco, have played across the country at The Public Theater, Culture Project, Baltimore Center Stage, Berkeley Rep, Cleveland Playhouse, Mosaic Theater Company, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Portland Center Stage, Playmakers Rep, Painted Bride, Pure Theater and abroad in India, Ireland, Wales, Mexico, Canada and Nigeria. Aldo Billingslea (director) is a professor of theater at Santa Clara University (SCU). SCU's associate provost for diversity and inclusion, and served as the vice president of the 100 Black Men of Silicon Valley; he's a board member of TheatreWorks Silicon Valley, theatre program director for The222.org in Healdsburg, California.As an academic, he is a professor of American theatre from the Black perspective, acting styles, Shakespeare, and seminars on August Wilson. Billingslea is a lifelong professional actor featured in more than two dozen Shakespeare plays, productions of August Wilson's Gem of the Ocean, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, and Fences, Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire, and Lorraine Hansberry's The Sign in Sydney Bernstein's Window.

    How does a business go from chaotic cash flow to spending six figures on marketing?   For Chelle Neff, owner of Urban Betty Salon, it started with eight years of barely surviving, hoping payroll would clear, and realizing that hustle alone was not a strategy. In this episode, we get into how Chelle transformed Urban Betty from booth rental chaos into a three-location, experience-led brand doing $6.3M in revenue. She breaks down exactly what she spent on marketing last year, what actually paid off, and what she would never do again. We talk about the operational structure that changed everything, the level system that created stability and career paths for her team, and the marketing lessons every service-based business needs to hear, especially if you are investing money without tracking what is actually driving new clients. This conversation walks through the real work behind scaling a service business. From rebuilding culture and systems to treating marketing like a strategic investment instead of a guessing game, Chelle shares what it really takes to grow a brand that people trust, talk about, and keep coming back to.

    We've noticed that whenever the news is bad for Donald Trump, Karoline Leavitt dials up the cultlike obsequiousness to 11. She just let out a strange rant basically declaring that Iran will have entered into “unconditional surrender,” as Trump wants, whenever he says it has. In another odd moment, she dismissed widespread MAGA criticism of Trump's war by essentially declaring that MAGA is whatever Trump says it is. The two displays really went full North Korea in other ways, too. And that's no accident:  an average of high quality surveys now shows that support for his Iran war is at an abysmal 38 percent, perhaps the lowest initial support for a war ever. Another analysis finds that Trump's net approval on immigration has dropped by 20 points since last year. And his economic numbers are awful. We talked to Salon's Amanda Marcotte, a skilled decoder of MAGA. We discuss how this presidency is in trouble on multiple fronts and the role of cultlike praise in managing the base at such difficult moments. We also ponder how his physical decline, and the prospect of a world without Trump, is hovering in the background of all of it.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Trump Press Sec Goes Full Cult in Odd Rants as Polls Take Brutal Turn

    We've noticed that whenever the news is bad for Donald Trump, Karoline Leavitt dials up the cultlike obsequiousness to 11. She just let out a strange rant basically declaring that Iran will have entered into “unconditional surrender,” as Trump wants, whenever he says it has. In another odd moment, she dismissed widespread MAGA criticism of Trump's war by essentially declaring that MAGA is whatever Trump says it is. The two displays really went full North Korea in other ways, too. And that's no accident:  an average of high quality surveys now shows that support for his Iran war is at an abysmal 38 percent, perhaps the lowest initial support for a war ever. Another analysis finds that Trump's net approval on immigration has dropped by 20 points since last year. And his economic numbers are awful. We talked to Salon's Amanda Marcotte, a skilled decoder of MAGA. We discuss how this presidency is in trouble on multiple fronts and the role of cultlike praise in managing the base at such difficult moments. We also ponder how his physical decline, and the prospect of a world without Trump, is hovering in the background of all of it. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Why do some team members quietly avoid difficult conversations while others burn themselves out trying to be perfect? In this episode, we break down the foundational survival patterns that show up inside almost every salon environment: The Approval Seeker The Rebel The Perfectionist The Avoider You will learn: What each behavior actually looks like in real salon scenarios How to identify the pattern in real time The core fear driving the behavior Where it often originates psychologically And how to lead someone out of survival mode and into professionalism without shaming, weakening authority, or overreacting This episode is not about labeling your team. It is about understanding the fear underneath the behavior so you can stop taking it personally and start leading strategically. If you want a calmer culture, stronger emotional maturity inside your business, and leadership that feels grounded instead of reactive, this is where it begins. Leadership is not about controlling behavior. It is about understanding what is driving it.

    Du “robophone” qui filme à 360° aux lunettes IA, le MWC 2026 a confirmé que le mobile devient un hub de services, dopé à l'intelligence artificielle et connecté… jusque dans l'espace. Tour d'horizon des annonces et tendances marquantes du salon de Barcelone, avec un focus sur les usages concrets.En partenariat avec FreePro, le meilleur de Free pour les entreprisesLe MWC Barcelona (édition du 2 au 5 mars 2026) fêtait ses 20 ans d'installation à Barcelone. Tendances cette année : moins de “smartphones rois”, davantage d'écosystèmes (IA, objets, cloud, réseaux, robotique), avec une forte présence des industriels chinois.Le “robophone” d'Honor a fait le showParmi les produits “wahou”, Honor attire l'attention avec un concept de smartphone intégrant un module caméra stabilisé (type gimbal) qui sort du dos de l'appareil, filme à 360° et suit automatiquement la personne pour simplifier la création de contenus… et même améliorer la visio.Côté réseaux : 5G SA, 6G et satellitesCôté pro, le salon rappelle une réalité européenne : la “vraie” 5G (stand-alone) avance lentement, alors que la filière commence déjà à préparer la suite (6G, IoT avancé, intelligence en périphérie/edge).Autre tendance forte : la connectivité satellitaire, pour compléter les réseaux terrestres dans les zones mal couvertes. La référence du moment reste Starlink, tandis que les opérateurs multiplient les partenariats et que certains smartphones proposent déjà des fonctions de communication par satellite (au moins pour des messages).L'IA au cœur de l'expérience mobileL'intelligence artificielle s'invite partout, y compris dans les usages très concrets : tri et suggestion automatique de photos à envoyer, assistance contextuelle, amélioration photo/vidéo. Des marques comme Xiaomi la mettent particulièrement en avant avec leurs nouveaux modèles haut de gamme, tandis que Samsung continue d'industrialiser ces fonctions dans ses gammes récentes.Pliables, écrans “anti-regard” et confort visuelLe MWC 2026 montre aussi la montée des formats pliants “spectaculaires”, notamment les concepts à trois volets (tri-fold), encore inégalement disponibles selon les marchés.Autre idée très remarquée : des solutions de confidentialité à l'écran, capables de rendre l'affichage illisible hors de l'axe. Enfin, TCL poursuit sa stratégie “confort des yeux” avec NxtPaper (écran mat, réduction de lumière bleue, mode lecture/digital detox). À (re)voir sur Monde Numérique : MWC 25 – TCL présente l'évolution de NxtPaper.Lunettes connectées et audio : le retour du wearableLes lunettes connectées reprennent de l'élan, entre traduction en temps réel et affichage d'informations, mais avec un point de friction majeur : la captation (caméra) et l'acceptabilité sociale. Alibaba prépare notamment des lunettes sous la marque Qwen, annoncées autour du salon.En parallèle, les écouteurs continuent de progresser (réduction de bruit, nouveaux designs semi-ouverts plus confortables au quotidien).Hébergé par Audiomeans.

    In this episode of the Successful Stylist Academy Podcast, Ambrosia Carey breaks down how hairstylists and salon owners can raise prices confidently and sustainably in today's economy. If you've ever felt nervous about charging more, worried about losing clients, or unsure how to communicate a price increase, this episode will give you a clear and practical strategy for moving forward. Ambrosia explains why regular price increases are essential for long-term success in the beauty industry and how inflation impacts hairstylists more than most service providers. She shares how a simple 3–5% annual increase can protect your income, prevent burnout, and allow your business to grow sustainably over time.   This episode also explores the emotional side of pricing, including the fear of rejection, scarcity mindset, and the psychological barriers that prevent many stylists from charging what they are truly worth. You'll learn how to communicate price adjustments clearly and professionally so your clients understand the value behind your services.

Raising prices by 3–5% annually helps hairstylists keep up with inflation, maintain profitability, and build a sustainable long-term salon business. 2. Inflation affects hairstylists through rising supply costs, rent increases, and everyday business expenses, making regular price adjustments necessary for financial stability. 3. Clear and transparent communication about price increases helps clients feel informed and respected, reducing discomfort and maintaining trust. 4. Many hairstylists struggle with price increases because of psychological barriers such as fear of rejection and scarcity mindset rather than actual client resistance. 5. Emotional maturity in business decisions allows stylists to separate personal validation from pricing decisions and focus on long-term business health. 6. Sustainable pricing allows hairstylists to avoid burnout by working fewer hours while maintaining or increasing overall income.   7. Consistent pricing strategies help hairstylists build stable careers instead of reacting to financial stress with sudden large price increases. 8. Aligning pricing with value ensures hairstylists are compensated fairly for their skill level, experience, and ongoing education.

    Join your host Syama Bunten as she sits down with Shelley Kuipers, a prolific investor, entrepreneur, and co-founder of The 51—a venture platform unlocking the economic potential of women across Canada.  From her unconventional upbringing as a forest ranger's daughter in Northern Alberta to becoming a tech industry pioneer in the late 80s, Shelley's journey is defined by calculated risk-taking and fierce independence.  After spending a decade treating someone else's company like her own, she learned a pivotal lesson: what would happen if she gave that same energy to herself? Since 1999, she's been exclusively a founder or co-founder, building ventures that challenge the status quo. Now, with The 51 growing from 75 women in her kitchen to 48,000 across Canada, Shelley is redefining who gets capital, who builds wealth, and what legacy truly means. Key Topics: Why working hard for someone else will always have a ceiling. How to break into industries that weren't built for you. What shifts in your relationship with money and legacy when you start thinking beyond yourself and toward future generations Why the most powerful wealth-building opportunity isn't competing for a slice of the existing pie. What it actually takes to build a movement from scratch. How to stop underestimating your own qualifications and start showing up as the capital steward you already are.

    It's Casual Friday on The Majority Report   On today's program:   A 65-year-old woman from Minnesota calls in to C-SPAN to talk about how she is legally blind, on disability and under Trump her social services have been slashed to the point that she is literally starving.   Heather 'Digby' Parton, writer at Salon and the Hullabaloo Blog, joins the program to recaps the week's news.   In the Fun Half:   The Green Party's Hannah Spencer wins a seat in the UK parliament and delivers a moving speech centered on the working-class.   In a meeting about securing federal funding to build affordable housing in NYC, Zohran Mamdani gifts Donald Trump a novelty newspaper that makes the president smile like a child on his birthday.   Hours after the meeting with Trump, Mamdani puts in a call to trump to secure the release of a student that was kidnapped by DHS who entered campus under the false pretense of "searching for a missing child".   Anna Kasparian posts an antisemitic post about the "goyim waking up".   AIPAC is funneling shadow money through vague PAC's into Valeria Foushee's campaign in North Carlina.   Shah Allam, a blind Rohingya refugee who escaped a genocide in Myanmar, is dumped by ICE in a parking lot in the freezing Buffalo night and found dead five days later.   all that and more   To connect and organize with your local ICE rapid response team visit ICERRT.com The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.

    The delicious, healthful prune has long had a cross to bear: It's best known for making people poop. In the late 1990s, the California Prune Board set out on a quixotic mission to amend this sales-flattening reputation. It would attempt to rechristen this ancient fruit in the hopes the prune could one day be as unencumbered as an apricot, a raisin, or a fig. In a world where every product and person increasingly believes it's one good rebrand away from changing how they are seen, the story of the prune's attempt to become the “dried plum” is a telling tale about the impossibility of escaping who you really are—and the freedom that comes with self-acceptance.
