Tara breaks down the latest legal victory in the fight against illegal enrollments in federal programs and exposes how billions in taxpayer money may have been misused. Court Victory: A U.S. appeals court overturned a judge blocking the Trump administration from accessing IRS data—crucial for identifying illegally enrolled immigrants. Scope of the Problem: Millions of illegals reportedly received Social Security numbers, Medicaid benefits, drivers' licenses, and in some cases, voted—all in violation of federal law. Frontline Action: Trump is taking on food stamp and Medicaid fraud, with Republican states actively purging ineligible recipients. Meanwhile, Democrats allegedly block access to vital data. The Stakes: These wins could reshape budget priorities, enforce accountability, and finally put taxpayer dollars back under scrutiny.
In a recent episode of the award-winning Consumer Finance Monitor podcast, Alan Kaplinsky was joined by Nick Bourke, Kate Griffin, and Ballard Spahr partner Joseph Schuster to discuss a groundbreaking new report from the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program: United We Stand: A National Strategy to Prevent Scams. The episode builds on Nick and Kate's prior appearance on the podcast last July, when the report was still in development. Now finalized, the report offers one of the most comprehensive frameworks to date for addressing what has become a systemic threat to American households and the broader financial system. The Scope of the Problem: A Systemic Threat Frauds and scams are no longer isolated consumer protection issues. According to the report, U.S. households are losing an estimated $196 billion annually to scams — roughly $1 billion every couple of days. One in five American adults reports having lost money to an online scam. As Nick Bourke explained, today's scams are: · Technology-enabled · Highly organized and industrialized · Often operated by transnational criminal organizations · Accelerating due to AI and faster payment systems The so-called scam "lifecycle" includes four stages: 1. Lead – Hooking the victim 2. Deceive – Building trust (often through impersonation or relationship-building) 3. Bleed – Extracting funds 4. Clean – Laundering proceeds, often through cryptocurrency or offshore channels Different sectors see only fragments of this lifecycle; social media platforms may see the "lead," financial institutions the "bleed," and law enforcement the "clean." That fragmentation allows criminals to scale operations while defenders remain siloed. Why Scams Are Rising Despite Heavy Investment As Kate Griffin noted, industry and government are investing heavily in prevention. Yet scams continue to grow. Why? · Fragmentation across sectors: No single actor sees the entire attack sequence. · Outdated reporting infrastructure: Federal systems at agencies like the FBI and FTC remain manual and technologically antiquated. · Regulatory uncertainty: Financial institutions and technology platforms face unclear expectations about what data they can use and share. · Speed of modern payments: Faster money movement means faster losses. Joseph Schuster emphasized that many financial institutions are strongly incentivized to prevent fraud as they often bear reputational and financial risk when scams succeed. But legal ambiguity, especially under statutes like the Fair Credit Reporting Act, can chill data-sharing and innovation. Core Recommendations from the Aspen Report The report outlines both high-level national reforms and granular operational improvements with more than 180 specific ideas. 1. Elevate Scam Prevention to a National Priority The report calls for: · A designated federal lead (or "czar") to coordinate strategy · A whole-of-government approach · Clear national goals and metrics Without centralized leadership, enforcement and regulatory actions remain fragmented. 2. Modernize Law Enforcement Reporting Systems Federal reporting portals, including Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), the FBI's complaint systems, and the FTC's databases, require modernization. The report recommends: · Streamlined, automated reporting · Backend data interoperability across agencies · Advanced analytics and AI tools for enforcement 3. Establish Clear Duties to Act Paired with Safe Harbors One of the most important themes discussed was the need for: · Clear expectations for banks, telecom companies, and digital platforms · Safe harbors that protect companies when sharing scam intelligence in good faith Countries like Australia have already codified such frameworks. The U.S. has yet to establish similarly coordinated standards. 4. Build a Cross-Sector Information-Sharing Ecosystem Effective scam prevention requires: · Exchange of scam indicators (malicious URLs, compromised phone numbers, device patterns) · Interoperable information-sharing platforms · Privacy-preserving architecture · Legal clarity to mitigate antitrust and consumer reporting concerns Joseph noted that industry appetite for collaboration is strong but clarity and guardrails are essential. 5. Consider a U.S. National Anti-Scam Center The report explores the idea of a centralized "front door", potentially something like stopscams.gov, that would: · Serve as a national reporting hub · Provide victim resources · Facilitate coordination among law enforcement · Support public education campaigns Social Media and Platform Responsibility The discussion also addressed the evolving role of digital platforms. Scam activity frequently originates through: · Paid advertisements · Dating applications · Direct messaging · Fake investment websites Compared to banks, social media companies operate within a less clearly defined regulatory structure. Courts are increasingly developing theories of "platform liability," but statutory clarity is lacking. The report urges policymakers to define reasonable expectations for platforms — paired with safe harbors and practical tools that empower prevention rather than merely assign blame. What Happens Next? The key question: who implements this strategy? Kate Griffin emphasized that this is a whole-of-society problem requiring coordinated action by: · Federal leadership · Congress · Financial institutions · Telecom and digital platforms · Law enforcement · Civil society There have been encouraging developments, including: · Treasury and State Department sanctions targeting transnational scam networks · A joint DOJ–FBI–Secret Service initiative targeting Southeast Asian scam operations o But much more remains to be done. Nick Bourke suggested that, one year from now, real success would include: · A designated federal anti-scam lead · A congressional commission · Measurable national prevention goals · Corporate adoption of formalized anti-scam strategies Joseph Schuster added that industry innovation is ongoing, particularly in artificial intelligence, biometrics, and authentication, but warned that fragmented state-level regulation could complicate progress. Key Takeaways Alan Kaplinsky closed the episode with several important observations: · Fraud and scams are now a systemic threat, not a niche compliance issue. · Prevention, not just reimbursement, must be the organizing principle. · Coordination matters as much as authority. · Good-faith companies need regulatory clarity, not just enforcement pressure. · Reducing scams strengthens trust in the U.S. financial system and digital economy. The Aspen report reframes the debate. Rather than assigning blame, it calls for aligned incentives, shared responsibility, and coordinated national action. If the title of the report, United We Stand, becomes reality, the United States may finally begin to bend the curve on one of the most costly and fast-growing threats facing consumers today.

My guest today is Dan Sundheim. Dan is the founder and CIO of D1 Capital Partners. He thinks about markets and businesses constantly, and has built a career entirely around that obsession. He manages over $30B across both public and private markets, with investments in SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic, and a public portfolio of names you may never have heard of. Dan shares the story of the short case he wrote on Orthodontic Centers of America and posted on Value Investors Club, which crashed the stock, and helped him land his first job. He shares why he backed Anthropic at a moment when many people told him it was the Lyft to OpenAI's Uber, what reading Dario Amodei's essays reminded him of Jeff Bezos, and how he thinks about LLM business models through the lens of Netflix and Spotify. We spend time on the extraordinarily stressful moment in early 2021 when GameStop hit the firm, and what Dan believes is the single biggest tail risk facing the global economy right now.

EPISODE 245. Key Takeaways: What due diligence is: The buyer's inspection/audit of the seller's business to confirm the story, financials, contracts, and assumptions made pre-LOI. The emotional shift for sellers: Post-LOI can feel like “we're done,” but diligence is often the most challenging phase and can be exhausting and distracting. Why buyers do it: Risk mitigation and validation, plus identifying upside (synergies, growth investment opportunities, consolidation savings). Common seller mistake: Underestimating diligence and showing up unprepared, both emotionally and operationally. Role of an M&A advisor: First point of contact, ensuring data is clean/defensible, fast response cadence, and pushing back where appropriate. “Scope creep” reality: Multiple outside parties (QoE, tax, legal, integration) often ask overlapping questions, creating a “Groundhog Day” effect without strong process management. Top diligence areas buyers focus on: Revenue quality, customer concentration, contracts/renewals, security posture, key person risk, and scalable delivery model. Retrade risk signals: Business performance softening during diligence, messy financials, messy contracts, or major unexpected changes in the business. Keep momentum (they cite ~90 days as a good diligence window) and don't let diligence distract leadership so much that performance slips.

What if the estimates we fight so hard to defend are actually the very thing slowing us down? In this episode, Felipe sits down with Vasco Duarte --- Agile coach, author of #NoEstimates, and host of the Scrum Master Toolbox podcast --- for a candid conversation about why traditional estimation may be creating more illusion than clarity... and what to do instead. Vasco brings serious field credibility. He led initiatives at Nokia involving 500 people, 100 teams, across four continents. And he saw projects fail not because the work was impossible --- but because leaders trusted the plan more than the evidence unfolding in real time. This conversation hits home for construction and project management professionals who operate under pressure, contracts, and commitments. Key Takeaways -

How are we preparing the next generation of energy professionals? Kieran Graham, student of the Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering program at Carleton University, is set to embark on his career in the energy sector. Kieran joins thinkenergy to chat about his studies, from thermodynamics to power generation, regulatory to economic aspects, and what's on the horizon for the industry and his future. Listen in for a fresh perspective on the future of energy with a next-gen energy professional.

Join me, Trevor Freeman, as I explore the traditional, unconventional and up and coming facets of the energy industry. If you have any thoughts, feedback or ideas for topics we should cover, please reach out to us at think energy at hydro ottawa.com, hi everyone and welcome back. We know that we are already in this period of change that we call the energy transition, but this is not a short term thing. We will be in this period of change for years and likely decades to come. And that means that the next generation of energy professionals, so engineers, policy experts, customer focused, people, finance and so on and so on, they might spend their entire careers working on this. So I thought it would be interesting to check in with someone who's just about to enter the workforce to find out how we're preparing that next generation to dive head first into this challenge and hopefully bring innovative and exciting solutions to the table. This is a career and society defining challenge. This is something that we'll be focusing on for many, many years to come. So I really wanted to understand what is that next generation learning. Now I'm sure you'd all agree that what you learn in your formal schooling is only one small part of the knowledge base and skill set that is important for contributing in a meaningful way. I know that the things I became really excited about and passionate about as I was getting through my engineering degree really helped set my course and have led me to where I am today, and definitely was not the course I thought I was on when I started engineering school. And for the record, these things that I became really passionate exciting about weren't, you know, the fluid dynamics and soil mechanics and thermodynamics and all these courses I was taking. It was the concepts and the way of thinking and the things I became passionate about. So all that being said, I'm pretty excited today to talk to my guests about what he has been learning and how he thinks that's setting him up for a career focused on energy. Kieran Graham is in his final year of his degree at Carleton University here in Ottawa, and he's in the sustainable and renewable energy engineering program. I love the fact that we have a whole focus program on clean and renewable energy, that's fantastic. Kieran is the president of the Sustainable and Renewable Engineering Society, and he helps organize academic social and networking events for students in that program and others that are interested in sustainable and renewable energy. He has worked with the apex lab at Carleton, doing research on various carbon capture technologies, and he was also the organizer, or one of the organizers, for the 2026 Ontario Engineering Competition. Kieran Graham, welcome to the show. Kieran Graham 02:48 Thanks a lot for having me. I'm excited. Trevor Freeman 02:50 So Kieran, let's start with a little bit of background on your program at University. So you're in the Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering program at Carleton University. Tell us a little bit about what that program is and what you focus on. Kieran Graham 03:03 Yeah, so I will admit it's a little confusing at first, like Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering, the long name, and then we have two streams. So one's called Smart Technologies for Power Generation Distribution, the other one's about efficient energy conversion. So the easiest way to actually differentiate these two is electrical and mechanical. So smart technologies is electrical efficient conversion is a more mechanical. So like, if you have know anything about engineering disciplines, it's electrical and mechanical. Trevor Freeman 03:35 Gotcha Kieran Graham 03:36 Also, by the way, SREE is short form for sustainable renewable energy engineering, just to save us some fumbling over our words, in the future, perfect. Trevor Freeman 03:45 This is a very acronym heavy podcast at time, so I appreciate you spelling that out for us. So when we when we hear SREE, you're talking about the program, gotcha. So give us an idea of, like, what's the focus of the program more broadly? Kieran Graham 03:58 Yeah, so like, I'm in the electrical stream. So I take a lot of different courses at the beginning, ranging from fluid mechanics, and we take electrical courses like circuits and signals and just Electronics One. But then we also later take courses that are more SREE specific, that are more focused on learning how we are using thermodynamics to then put it through as a turbine and then create that energy. And then, how is it work, specifically with a nuclear power plant, or we even learn a little bit about natural gas, but just for context. And then, how does that differ from generating electricity with wind in a wind turbine. It's pretty similar, but like, how where's the difference? And like, how do we apply that in different scenarios? Trevor Freeman 04:48 Got you so if I could say that back to you. You know, when I was in energy or engineering school, I learned a lot about those fundamentals. I learned, we know, we did thermodynamics, we did all that kind. Of stuff we just mentioned, but the application to power generation, and the renewable aspect of it, the sustainability side, that was all stuff I learned later in my career. You're building that into your programs. Kind of built that into what you're learning. So you're learning the more traditional engineering side of things, the thermodynamics and how this stuff works, but in the context of power generation, I assume, you know, like application of power generation, like how the grid works, things like that. Kieran Graham 05:28 Yeah, exactly. So we take a little bits of courses that other programs will take, and then I got, first we're taking those same courses, and then we take other courses that are really specific, and we apply them to sustainable and renewable energy engineering. The other thing is, later in our degree, we also apply things on a more higher level, like energy is kind of like a high level topic. There's so many things that are happening and there's a lot of regulatory and economic aspects to it. So we have to look at, like, the energy market and like, yes, like nuclear fusion is like a great option if it works and if it's economically viable. And you know, nuclear has its own regulatory aspect, so we have that coverage of information and knowledge later in the years. Trevor Freeman 06:17 Gotcha so. And for our listeners out there who are not kind of engineering nerds like Kieran and I. One of the things how I describe engineering more broadly is that it's sort of a systems thinking approach to things. So understanding, what are my inputs? What's the result of those inputs? What does that mean for the output? What are the feedback loops? And so what I'm hearing you say, Kieran, is that it's bringing that into the energy sector, the energy industry, which is fantastic, like, really exciting to hear that this is, this is what you're learning, and this is what the next sort of generation of engineers is being taught right now. How did you end up in this program? What drew you to this particular field of engineering? Kieran Graham 07:01 Yeah, so it's a little complicated, because when I applied to university, I knew I wanted to stay in Ottawa, and my parents both went to Carleton. My grandpa worked at Carleton like when it was first established, so I had deep roots there. And in my mind, Carleton is a superior University in Ottawa. I know that's controversial, but, you know, it's okay. But anyways, I applied to three different engineerings at Carleton, and my first choice was actually aerospace engineering, because in high school, it was kind of like a this was the prestige of making aerospace engineering. And I actually got in and my first year I was in aerospace engineering, but at Carleton, first year, engineering is all general. So after first year, I decided that my goals, and I don't want to talk down to my aerospace colleagues, but my morals and my aspirations were more set towards a sustainable and renewable energy engineering focus. So sustainable renewable energy engineering was my second choice going into Carleton, so it's a pretty easy switch in second year, but from my childhood, I had an aunt who worked for Greenpeace Canada and also just learning about sustainability in my house and at school, this just seemed like a natural, good choice. Trevor Freeman 08:28 My journey, and we won't get into the details of my journey, but it echoes that a lot of kind of having an idea going into engineering school and at some point, realizing that maybe this doesn't line up with my values, or what I want to do, the impact that I want to have. And that kind of gets into my next question of, you know, generally, the engineering profession is built around having an impact, a positive impact on society, on people, and using a, like I said, systems thinking approach to that. That's sort of the bar that we try and live up to. So, you know, you talked about wanting to have an impact. What does that impact me? Or what is having a positive impact mean for you, and how do you see yourself contributing as you're nearing the end of your education, at least formal education side of your undergrad? Kieran Graham 09:14 Yeah, so I actually just took my engineering professional practices course, which I learned about the code of ethics and how the engineers duty is paramount to serving the public. And I think that actually really resonated with me as much as you know, the course is a lot of just talking about regulatory stuff, it actually was refreshing and good to hear that that's like the regulatory view on what engineering should be, because my personal goals are very much to have a positive and strong impact on society, and specifically like my local community. You know, my family's deeply rooted in Ottawa, so I want to have a good, positive impact. Impact on Ottawa. So I guess when I switched from aerospace to sustainable energy, I decided that, like, there's a climate crisis right now, and I just saw the opportunity to create a large positive impact within engineering, which I was really enjoying and helped solve those problems of having that net zero or clean energy solution, which was being so, like, stressed upon within, like, my whole life, Trevor Freeman 10:31 That's great, yeah. I mean, it's, it's definitely, in my opinion, and I think this has been echoed a lot on this podcast, is, you know, the energy transition, the climate crisis, and sort of our reaction to that is definitely, the defining challenge of our of our time right now, and certainly, certainly your career, probably moving forward in this field. So looking at the energy transition, what skills or knowledge do you think you've developed throughout the last couple of years in your undergrad that have prepared you to contribute to this. You know, rapidly changing industry that the electricity sector, the energy sector of today is not the same as it was five years ago, and it won't be the same in five years. So coming into it at this point, what do you think you're bringing to the table that's going to help contribute to that? Kieran Graham 11:23 Yeah. So, I mean, it's the whole point of the program. And you know, people running, I'll shout out Ahmed Abdullah, a professor who's really been heading the SREE program. And so the, really, the big goal of SREE is like to be multidisciplinary, and being able to approach all the different aspects of this climate crisis and energy transition. You need to be able to understand how, like, I said, like the mechanical thermodynamics and fluid dynamics work, but also understand how a electric generator works, and then how transmission works, and need to understand, like, what's the point of creating solar in the desert, if you have to then transfer it all the way to, I don't know, somewhere in Europe, or something like, those are the large scale aspects that you need to be able to understand. The other thing that's also really important is just having the knowledge of understanding how like load profiles work and how data analysis and understanding like this is what a good load profile looks like. This is a problem like the duck curve or problems like this, like that, we as three engineers really understand, like how these different problems are created, and then how we can fix them and where they're being affected, like the duck curve in California, and like in Canada, we have a winter peaking system. Like all these problems are different, different aspects that we are very knowledgeable on and already have a base understanding of. And I think that's what's really important and helpful going into this industry. Trevor Freeman 13:04 Yeah, that's great. Has there been a time during your program, during your undergrad, or a project that you've worked on that has really kind of changed the way you view energy or the electricity grid, or open your eyes to something that you weren't aware of before, really kind of, yeah, drove your passion for it? Kieran Graham 13:27 Yeah, so, you know, there's been many problems and projects that I've had throughout my degree, and you know, the view and impact on my motivation has been very hopeful and very doubtful in equal amounts. But I would say maybe more helpful hopeful in the in the future, just because sometimes in school, things get a little stressful and blow up in proportion. But I'd say my biggest hopeful, I guess, and changing my my view of things would be my capstone project. So the capstone project that I'm working on currently is focusing on a net zero 2050 Ottawa. And how are we going to prepare for that? How are we going to handle the generation for that? How are we going to get energy places? How are we going to handle the winter peaks of electrifying, heating. How are we going to deal with EVs? It's a never ending puzzle slash scavenger hunt of finding data and how do things work together? How do we piece it together? Yeah, it's been a great challenge, but also really opened my eyes up to how all these, these different sectors that I've been learning about in my degree, how do these all work fit together and solve a problem. Trevor Freeman 14:52 Great, yeah, and that's exactly where I want to go next. So, so I'm glad you brought up your capstone project. Just a quick backgrounder for our listeners. A part of an engineering undergrad in Ontario, at least, I think across Canada, is a final year project which is known as the capstone project. So the idea of the capstone project is it's supposed to be a culmination of all the different sort of theoretical things you've learned in your degree, bringing all that knowledge together and giving the students a chance to apply that in some real world scenarios. So, you know, it's interesting, Kieran, to know that your capstone was looking at what does a net zero 2050 reality look like for the City of Ottawa? Because the City of Ottawa has a 2050 Net Zero target, 2040 actually, for the corporation of the City of Ottawa, and 2050 for the community. And there's, there's lots of moving parts to that. It's a real world thing that's happening that a lot of folks are working on. So I'd like to dig into that a little bit more with you and find out. And I know you're not quite finished it yet, so you're not going to have all the answers, but you know what? What are some of the things that you're looking at? What are some of the must do's for us as society and us as a city and all the stakeholders involved if we're going to to achieve that net zero reality? Speaker 1 16:17 Yeah, so we are a group of, I think, 18 or 19 different undergraduates for all, hopefully graduating at the end of the semester. And so this project is happens every year for the past, like four or five years, I think, and we're the third year focusing on Ottawa. So there's been a lot of things covered. And honestly, at the beginning of the project, we were like, how could we possibly have a third year of material to study? And I think now that we're approaching the final we're realizing how much there is to look at, and maybe we'll have some notes for next year saying, like, there really is a million things that we could look at in this scope. Like, it's just a really big scope, but we have, like, a buildings team, an energy storage team, a nuclear team, a solar team, and a transportation team, and I'm on the integration team, so my job is really just trying to put things together from all the different sub teams who are focusing on very specific things, and Specifically I'm the integration team lead. So I'm focusing on load prediction. So like, in 2050 what's the load that we're going to need to have? And that really, including working with transportation and buildings and understanding how, like, the EVS and the heat pumps and electrified heating are we going to have district heating, like, how is all this going to affect our 2050 load. Trevor Freeman 17:46 And so what are some of those strategies? Like, the things you mentioned are bang on. That's of course, the things that are going to drive our demand. Are you looking at providing that additional capacity? You know, with local generation, what's the what's the strategy there? How do we have enough energy and have enough clean energy in order to meet that growing demand that you've identified? Kieran Graham 18:10 Yeah, so that's like the big problem, right? So I'm doing load prediction, and then we have teams like nuclear and solar. And past years we've had wind teams, and I think there was a biofuels team as well past years, and we put all this data, kind of on two sides, and then we feed it through an optimization software that someone is working on in my team, and it's going to look at economically, how competitive something like solar or nuclear or wind or hydro, I guess would be looking within Ottawa like, how do all these compare? And it's all really about economics. When you're looking at it like, which is feasible because there's lots of cool technologies, like I mentioned earlier, but it's optimizing for cost, and then we're finding a low profile, and then ultimately, we want to run it through a software called eTap, which basically is like a digital twin for looking at energy load flow analysis and making sure the grid can actually handle this 2050 load. Trevor Freeman 19:16 And so you've identified kind of the technology challenges and solutions. I'm glad to hear you talk about like, you know, the economics have to make sense. Of course, there are technologies out there that, yeah, if there was unlimited resources, it would solve our problems. What about the sort of, I guess there's sort of two streams here. There's the regulatory, or let's call it the political side, the enabling aspects of, how do we get this technology that makes sense and has a business case? How do we get that deployed, more deployed faster, you know, more broadly, how do we do that? Did you look at the sort of regulatory, political side of things? Kieran Graham 19:56 Yeah, so in our capstone, we don't necessarily look. At it super specifically, like we're not necessarily looking at how regulations would affect it, but it's more we're going to be looking at scenarios of, if we have 100 per cent EV adoption in 2050 what is the load going to look like? But you know, the changing of the federal EV mandate, how is that going to look at change the load projection, and then, how is that going to affect our generation? Like, what do we like if we have huge peaks our nuclear teams generation, which won't necessarily be able to ramp as fast as something like a battery storage or or like a hydro dam, or something like these. These are the complications that we're looking at, not necessarily super focused on regulation, but keeping it as like a guiding prospect of, should we be considering 100 per cent EVs, like, is that really a realistic goal for 2015 at this point? Trevor Freeman 20:59 Yeah. And I guess it's kind of the same thing. And so maybe the answer is similar, but it's this the societal side of things too. And so yeah, like, from a technology perspective, it would be great if we hit that 100 per cent EV coverage by 2050, if not sooner. We know that that's a big source of emissions. It'd be great if we could do sort of like mass heat pump deployment. But at the end of the day, people, you know, we're relying on individuals within our society to make those decisions, and so one aspect of this is, how do we help that be the right decision? And how do we help people want to do this? Because it is the smarter choices. Has that conversation come into the project, and it's okay if it hasn't, I know there's obviously a limited scope of the project. Scope of the project, but is that something that you guys are talking through? Kieran Graham 21:52 Yeah, I think that's something that we are always like talking about as, like a bunch of young engineers who are really looking to understand the industry. And, you know, making sure these things actually happen is always kind of on our mind, like, what's the point of us doing all this work? And, you know, stressing ourselves till two and two in the morning getting our work done or getting ready for a presentation. It's like, why are we doing all of this? I think you know, the aspect of community involvement and the regulatory and making it make sense is part of our job. Like, yes, that maybe our focus isn't necessarily on making it all make sense for the public, but it's, it's something that we have to consider. Like, if it's not economically and like socially viable, then isn't there's no there's no point. Like, it's just not, not a proper engineering solution. So I think ultimately, it's not something that we're focusing on, but something that we talk about all the time, that like, like we go to community events and kind of learn about what people's like outlooks are on, on all these different problems. And would people be okay with having battery systems and solar systems on their house, and would they be okay with using those, as you know, distributed energy resources that can feed back to the grid? Would people be okay with bi directional charging on their EVs like these are big batteries that could be used for different things. Like these aren't necessarily direct considerations of our capstone, but something that we keep in mind when we're trying to create a solution. Trevor Freeman 23:26 Yeah, great. And I'm glad to hear you say that, and I'm glad it's part of the conversation. It's certainly, it's certainly a huge aspect of how we actually deploy these strategies and solutions and how we develop them. It's a big part of you know what I get to do at Hydro Ottawa, being on the customer side of things, is listening to our customers and understanding what their realities are, and trying to find ways of okay, well, how does that match up with programs or opportunities that we have to be able to run. So really glad to hear that you're talking through that the challenge of decarbonizing our energy mix. So going from sort of like fossil fuel combustion energy generation to a cleaner solution is really only one challenge that's facing the energy sector. I'm sure you're aware, you've brought up things that are causing an increase in demand, but we're also seeing, you know, non-climate related drivers of increased energy demand. So I'm thinking about, like, AI proliferation and data center growth and all these things. Is that part of the calculus that goes into your project. Are you thinking of, how do we also meet this growing energy demand for non-climate related reasons? Kieran Graham 24:48 Yeah. I mean, you know, understanding the energy mix, and you know, the load for the future is really difficult, and I know that's my whole job, but you know, if I had an A plus answer, I. Wouldn't have to worry about capstone for the next couple of months. But you know, all these considerations I'm thinking about, so like when I'm getting buildings data from the commercial sector and the residential sector, industry is not very big in Ottawa as an electrical load, at least, but I need to look at that for load prediction, because maybe industry load is going to increase with data center, like, where does that fall under the data the energy split, I know like Kanata Tech Center, like, that's going to be growing, and that's a big energy load, and I know it's a big stress on distribution systems, and the feeders over there struggling, and I know Hydro Ottawa is planning to upgrade those locations. But how can we maybe predict that, like data center or data center like load in Canada, that? How can we deal with that in different way, like adding a battery system over there, or maybe generation closer to there, which just stress the overall grid less. Trevor Freeman 26:05 Yeah, I think it's in, you know, for our non-Ottawa listeners, Kanata is a part of the city that has a high concentration of, sort of the high tech sector. It's, it's certainly a growing area in Ottawa, and one of our constrained areas on the grid that we're investing in and bringing a lot additional capacity to in the coming years. So those challenges that you identified, how do we deal with, not only this energy transition from a clean technology perspective, but also a changing economic demographics like we're seeing more investment in these areas, and how do we make sure that we're keeping up. So yeah, that's definitely, definitely a part of it. So one of the goals of the podcast is definitely to make sure the message is clear that the energy transition is not something of the future. It's not something that will happen eventually. We're in it right now. We're seeing the change to our to the way we use energy, and the way we produce energy and move and store and all those things. So is there something that's happening now, you know, within the energy space that you're particularly excited about that you've, you've kind of learned about in the last little while that you want to get involved in when you when you graduate? Kieran Graham 27:16 Yeah, so my whole degree is about this. So there's so many different aspects that I could talk about in that I'm interested in. And specifically to my capstone, machine learning is a big field in pretty much anything like machine learning and AI will be involved in any sort of capacity, in any industry. I'm sure. The problem with my specific application is I'm trying to predict 2050, load, and our load for the past few years hasn't really been increasing. Due to efficiency, and there was covid and different aspects like that. And so how do we apply that, and what, what kind of way is really interesting. But another thing that I'm really interested in is virtual power plants and stuff like micro grids. And how does all these, these little DERs and non-wire solutions, how do all these these work together? And how can we, like as a community, work with our So, like solar on our houses, or battery systems in our houses, our EVs, our bidirectional charging, as I mentioned earlier, like how, how could these technologies work together to really reduce the stress on the distribution system for you guys at Hydro Ottawa? And how could everything work together? And you see it happening in California. It's like being tested. If I think Ottawa would just be a great place for this, because of the nature of everyone having cars and everything's everyone has big, pretty big houses. We can have solar on our roofs, like, yes, we have a winter but which has less sunlight, but solar is still incredibly viable and useful. So how can all of this work together and become a virtual power plant that one house has energy and you know, the generations not able to keep up, or the distribution system is failing for whatever reason, you can rely on a community which has battery systems or generation systems just locally. How can we use that to then power each other's houses? I think that's really cool, a future thing that really looking forward to. Trevor Freeman 29:26 Yeah, it's, it's definitely something that gets talked a lot about, and, you know, in the industry in general, but even, you know, at Hydro Ottawa, looking at, how do we leverage, you know, this is what you're talking about. How do we leverage customer owned devices, customer equipment, to help manage grid capacity needs. So if we're in a time of increased demand on the grid, how do we make calls out to people that have batteries, people that have EVs, that are plugged in, people that have smart devices in their home, and say, Hey, we need a little bit of capacity. We're going to ask you to draw from your battery instead of the grid, or we're going to ask you to pause your EV charging, or turn your thermostat down a degree in order to generate that capacity on the grid. And it's, it's not even so much, you know, it's, it's not that the grid is failing and able to keep up. It's otherwise we would have to build a much bigger grid. We'd have to invest more in the grid. This lets us be more efficient with how we invest in the grid and how we build out so we can sort of not over build, which traditionally what we do is we kind of build the worst case scenario. What? What would we do if that worst case scenario wasn't as bad, if we could pull on these, these other customer owned equipment? So yeah, very cool concept, and definitely something that we're looking at here at Hydro Ottawa, and have a couple pilots coming up on that. Kieran Graham 30:53 Yeah. And I just wanted to say, like earlier, you're mentioning, like, how do we work on, how do we solve these solutions of net zero within a community, I just think, like the adoption and community incentives and how do we work together? Like, these are the solutions. These are, these are the things that if we as a community decide to do, it's just a very viable thing. It's just we need to be able to work together as a community to be able to do it. Trevor Freeman 31:22 Yeah, so, you know, we've been talking a little bit about a different approach to energy and that community approach. I really like that based on on what you know from your studies and your experience in this area. What do you think the utility of the future looks like, like? What does that look like to you? What is the role of the utility moving forward? Kieran Graham 31:47 Yeah, so it's a hard question, because obviously, there's so many things that could happen. And you know, like I was saying, predicting the future is very hard, and I can't just, can't just use machine learning. It's not a pattern. It's not like something that's going to be super predictable. But I do think like the idea of micro grids and working together and distributed energy resources, like all these things are going to be needed to be able to work together. So there's going to be so many little systems and organization, and the utility was going to be the person, kind of, like a mini IESO, I guess, like, how, like, you're going to be controlling, or not necessarily controlling, but organizing. Who's going to be using their DERs, like, which areas are going to need more solar deployment? Where can we integrate vehicle to grid charging? Where can we add more charging infrastructure for communities? Where can we put, like, community batteries, like, more of like an organizer of even smaller systems within the community. I think that's just the nature of technology is going to be, come more complicated, but we're also going to become more proficient and be able to organize those things. So, yeah, I guess that's, that's what I view the future of utilities. Trevor Freeman 33:17 Yeah, it's, it's a little bit, you know, lots of, lots of, lots of concepts. There it's, it's getting a little bit closer to the end user when it when we look at, how do we operate the grid? So right now, you brought up the IESO, that's our Independent Electricity System Operator who operates on the provincial level. I think the future is that that that level of operation gets a little bit closer to the end user, and that the local distribution companies like Hydro Ottawa have more control to identify where does the grid need extra capacity? Where does it have capacity that we can shift? And that's all happening at the same time as technology is giving us more insight into that. We're having we're going to have more understanding of what's happening down at that granular level. So we're going to be able to make these calls a little bit better. So, yeah, I think, I think you're on the right track. I think that's, that's where we're going. We're going to more of a bidirectional flow of energy, a little bit more closer to the end user control over how the grid is operated. Kieran Graham 34:20 Yeah, and in our classes, we learn about, like in Europe, how they have bidirectional charging and generation. In like Germany, people have solar panels on their balconies everywhere, and it the solar penetration like Germany, a lot of parts of Germany are on the same latitude as us. So it's like, it's not infeasible for like Ottawa, to have solar everywhere and have that be part of the grid, and not just for your own benefit or anything like that. Like, it's a, it's a real possibility. Trevor Freeman 34:51 Yeah, yeah. I think there's, there's lots of things that we can do to really improve, to really leverage the devices that are out there, to leverage. Opportunities that we have in front of us. So, Kieran, as we kind of get close to the end of our conversation here, are there any words of wisdom that you'd like to share? You know, you're kind of at the end of the beginning of your career journey. Here, you're almost done your undergrad, about to take whatever next steps there are, that's, you know, starting your career or further education. What about you know someone who's maybe at the start of that part of their journey? You know someone that's thinking about wanting to get involved in the energy transition, maybe wanting a career in that space. What words of wisdom would you provide? Kieran Graham 35:35 Yeah, so I mean, there's plenty of things I would recommend, you know, for young students, and for people similar approaching my situation, I think the biggest thing is just like networking and creating communities. Like, if you're a new student going into school, like, be part of socials. Be part of engineering societies, and or not engineering societies even like you can just any sort of club or sports team, or just have a community of people that you can really rely on to, like, if you're struggling with an assignment or a topic or a certain class, just like, have someone to be able to talk to talk through like that topic, and ultimately, like those connections who are helping you out with things Like, it'll go back, and they'll be like, Hey, do you understand this? You can get help them. And then you have a friendship, you have a connection, you have someone who's maybe going to work in a field that, like, in the future, you'll be able to leverage to get a job. Like, I have people who, you know, I helped in, or probably they helped me more because they were in older years, and they are working at different industries, and I can now talk to them and be like, hey, like, how do you like your new job now that you're in the workforce, and do you have any opportunities that I can, I could look into working for? So really creating that network of people who can help you out with those things, like you don't have to do it alone, and it really just opens your eyes and allows you to have really good conversations and prepare you for the future. Trevor Freeman 37:08 Yeah, so if I could, if I could just build on that, it's the importance of creating those connections in that community is great for your own learning, your own knowledge, but also for solving problems, like, no problem is solved by a single discipline or a single focus. You know, it's great that you're learning all these tools in your engineering degree, but you know, real problems get solved by a mix of, you know, the engineer folks, the finance folks, the customer side of things, the, you know, societal side of things. So really great advice. Thanks for sharing that with us. So Kieran, we always end our interviews with a series of questions that I ask to all our guests, so I'll dive right into those. What is a book that you've read that you think everyone should read? Kieran Graham 37:56 Yeah, so a lot of my reading has been textbooks recently, but I think when I have the time I read a lot of dystopian, so I'll say Fahrenheit 451, even though it's a pretty common one, but it's just really good and really relevant to things. Trevor Freeman 38:10 So yeah, definitely one of those classics that's important for everyone to read or at least be aware of. So same question, but for a movie or a show, what's one that you would recommend everybody? Kieran Graham 38:21 Yeah, there's plenty of good shows those are a little bit easier to find some time and brain power for, but big Star Wars fan, so I'm going to say Andor, just a really good show, really relevant, really love that show. Trevor Freeman 38:34 Yeah, fantastic. I agree. And I just so my oldest kid is 12, and I've just got him starting to watch that one. So it's a great. If someone offered you a free round trip flight anywhere in the world, where would you go? Kieran Graham 38:49 Yeah, another really hard question. I'm going to Peru right after I graduate. So if you guys wanted to pay for that, that would be great. Trevor Freeman 38:56 It's not an offer. Just to be clear. Kieran Graham 38:58 No, I know. I would just say, like, maybe I really have been seeing these videos about Kyrgyzstan, like the those, like East Asian or, guess, Western Asia countries like Kyrgyzstan would be really cool. Trevor Freeman 39:17 Cool. Yeah, very neat. Who's someone that you admire? Kieran Graham 39:20 Yeah, so I admire plenty of people. I think I'm going to say my grandpa, though. I've always looked up to him and like how he lives his life, and, you know, he's funny, and just like, has really good values. And I think he's just someone who I ultimately, as a person, look up to. And you know, he worked at Carlton, so I don't know it's just like, the future of like, where I would like to see myself. Trevor Freeman 39:48 Great. Yeah, great answer. And finally, what's something that you're really excited about when it comes to the energy sector, its future, and you have the benefit of being at the very beginning of your career, you get to get involved in this. So what's something you're excited about? Kieran Graham 39:59 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, like, I said earlier, like, there's plenty of things, but I'll say virtual power plants again. Like, if we could create a community where we have DERs and are working together micro grids and all of this, like, that would be so amazing. It'd be so cool. So I think that's going to be, that's my thing. I'm super excited for. Trevor Freeman 40:21 Very cool well, I'm very excited to see you get involved in that, and thanks for your time today.

Guest: Fredrik Svensson Language: Swedish Duration: 17:24 min Redpill Linpro has developed a new framework to help organizations migrate their integration platforms. The framework, called Migration Zero, is explained in this episode by Fredrik, one of the founders of Redpill Linpro. He describes the model's four phases: 1. Analysis, 2. Scope and workshop, 3. Implementation zero, and 4. Implementation. A key goal of Migration Zero is to make it possible to implement modern integrations instead of being stuck in a platform that was installed many years ago. It gives organizations better control over the whole process and helps choose the best solution for the future.
Why Negotiating Feels Risky What Successful Negotiators Do Differently Negotiation skills for women leaders shape far more than pay. They influence power, energy, and long-term career alignment. Negotiation is happening every day. Not just in compensation conversations, but in expectations, workload, influence, and career trajectory. Yet for many leaders, especially women, advocating for themselves still feels uncomfortable… even risky. In this episode of Impact With Ease, Blake is joined by executive coach and nationally recognized women's leadership expert Kathryn Valentine to unpack why negotiation feels so charged, what leaders are unintentionally leaving on the table, and how to approach advocacy in a way that builds influence instead of backlash. You'll hear why traditional negotiation advice — much of it built around male behavioral norms — can actually disadvantage women when applied directly. Kathryn introduces a relational negotiation framework that centers shared impact, collaboration, and strategic positioning rather than confrontation. Episode Highlights Why Negotiating Still Feels Risky [08:14] – Women face higher backlash risk when negotiating for themselves [10:32] – Why fear around negotiation is justified (and solvable) [12:48] – The reputational concerns that silence capable leaders The Advice Gap Women Face [18:21] – Why most negotiation frameworks were built for men [20:05] – How traditional tactics can unintentionally create resistance [22:17] – The hidden cost of using the wrong tools Negotiation Beyond Salary [26:30] – The dozens of micro-negotiations leaders engage in daily [28:12] – Scope, deadlines, resources, and expectations are all negotiable [30:05] – How unconscious "yes" decisions compound into burnout The Relational Negotiation Framework [33:42] – Past performance + future vision as anchors [35:18] – Shifting from adversarial to collaborative framing [37:44] – Using "What do you think?" to create partnership instead of pushback The AI Bias Leaders Aren't Talking About [41:14] – Research showing AI may recommend women ask for 21% less than men [43:10] – Why salary benchmarking shortcuts can reinforce inequity [45:02] – Where AI helps — and where human strategy is still essential Powerful Quotes "A lot of women carry fear about negotiation, and that fear is justified. We are at a higher risk of backlash when negotiating on behalf of ourselves than men are. The exciting part is there's also a solution to that." – Kathryn Valentine "A yes to anything is a no to something. The question is: what are you saying no to — and is that a trade-off you're willing to make?" – Kathryn Valentine "We are negotiating every single day. And those micro-negotiations can change the course of your career." – Kathryn Valentine "Change happens in small day-to-day actions that create a powerful domino effect." – Blake Schofield Resources Mentioned Connect with Kathryn Valentine: Link to our FREE 76 things resource! https://worthmorestrategies.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/kval/ Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?

Send me a messageAI's energy demand isn't a future problem. It's straining grids today. And most companies aren't ready.In this episode, I'm joined by Beatrice Clark, Vice President of Sustainability and Social Impact at Turtle and Hughes, a North American electrical distributor and systems integrator working at the sharp edge of the energy transition. We unpack what surging AI and data centre growth means for infrastructure, resilience, and real-world decarbonisation - not in theory, but on the ground.You'll hear why energy demand from AI is now “on the tip of everybody's tongue”, and how utilities and independent producers are scrambling to keep up. We dig into the tension between diesel reliability and microgrid ambition, and why hybrid redundancy may be the uncomfortable truth of the transition. You might be surprised to learn how fleet electrification looks when you're moving heavy loads across unpredictable routes. It's not ideology. It's maths, logistics, and physics.We also explore double materiality, Scope 3 collaboration, and why sustainability only works when it strengthens operational performance. Net zero isn't achieved in PowerPoint. It's delivered through infrastructure, policy, and accountability across the value chain.If you care about climate tech, grid transformation, emissions reduction, and what decarbonisation actually looks like inside energy-intensive businesses, this conversation cuts through the noise.Listen now to hear how Beatrice Clark and Turtle and Hughes are navigating the hard realities of the energy transition.Podcast subscribersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing subscribers: Anita Krajnc Cecilia Skarupa Ben Gross Jerry Sweeney Andreas Werner Stephen Carroll Roger Arnold And remember you too can Subscribe to the Podcast - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent Climate Confident episodes like this one, as well as give you access to the entire back catalog of Climate Confident episodes.ContactIf you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - get in touch via direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

Today's guest is the founder of Scooter's Hunt Camp Scott was raised in the small town of Emmett, Id. Scott loves all sports and spent 6 years chasing dreams by playing college baseball. After that didn't pan out baseball he came back to Emmett working several different jobs trying to find my place. In 2006 the opportunity was presented to buy an Insurance Agency here in town. He now owns this agency, and this was a GOD thing as the freedom of being his own boss has given him much time with his sons. In 2007 Scott was introduced to Kami, a year later they were married. In 2010 & 2013 they welcomed 2 amazing sons into their tribe. I joke tribe as we are all registered in the Cherokee Nation. In 2021 Scott lost Kami to Breast Cancer. She was an angel here on earth, but God needed her with him. In 2000 Scott was given the vision to give back to kids through hunting. He was given a gift as a successful hunter. In fact, in 2001 he was named the Idaho State Bowhunters bowhunter of the year. Scott founded and now directs the Scooter's Youth Hunting Camp in Emmett. Over the 26 years of being a part of this ministry and mission field for kids. Scott is most proud of witnessing about his Savior and best friend "JESUS". Over 26 years Scott has had the honor of sharing God's goodness and putting a Shotgun, Bow, Muzzleloader and .22 rifle into the hands of over 6,000 kids. All for FREE and all through donations. It has been a labor of love for Scott. He works for the kids 24/7/365 as a volunteer. SYHC is 100% volunteer with no paid staff. The volunteers who show up for the camp are amazing and all get an Orange SYHC shirt. The volunteer crew has been coined the "ORANGE ARMY" with the past couple of years being 120+ strong. There is a joke around the area that Scooter has 4,000 nieces and nephews because of the interactions from this camp. In 2015 Scott added to the SYHC by creating "Hunting Dreams". This subchapter of the camp does 2 hunting trips a year for children who have suffered a life-threatening illness. One Bear hunt each spring and an Elk hunt each fall with everything donated to fully outfit the hunters. New Rifle, Binos, Scope, Rangefinder, Boots, clothes etc. etc. Then a whole week in God's country hunting and eating "Their" favorite menu. The crew processes the meat and a taxidermist does a bear rug and elk shoulder mount for a forever memory.

Send a textAutonomy sounds like progress until the system turns your choices against you. We dive into how AI agents change the risk equation, why “don't trust, verify” now beats “trust but verify,” and what to do when the update button itself becomes the attack vector.We start with the Ivy League leak tied to Harvard and UPenn, where attackers exposed admissions hold notes that map influence rather than credit cards. That context turns routine records into leverage for extortion, social pressure, and geopolitical targeting. From there, we trace the surge of agentic AI in the workplace as employees paste code, legal docs, and sensitive files into chat interfaces. The real accelerant is MCP, the model context protocol that standardizes connections across Google Drive, Slack, databases, and more. Like USB for AI, MCP makes integration simple and powerful, but a single prompt injection can pivot across everything the agent can reach.Security gets messier with supply chain compromise. A China‑nexus campaign allegedly hijacked the Notepad++ update mechanism, handing a bespoke backdoor to developers who did the right thing. We unpack how to keep patching while reducing risk: signed updates, independent checksum checks, tight egress policies for updaters, and strong monitoring around update flows. On the policy front, Rhode Island's vendor transparency rule forces companies to name who buys data. It is a nutrition label for privacy, and it lets users and watchdogs finally connect the dots between friendly interfaces and aggressive brokers.We close with concrete defenses that raise the floor. Move high‑value accounts to FIDO2 hardware keys or platform passkeys to block phishing at the protocol level. Scope agent permissions narrowly, isolate MCP connectors by function, and require explicit approvals for sensitive actions. Log everything an agent touches and review those trails. Autonomy should be earned, minimal, and observable. If AI is going to act on your behalf, it must prove itself at every step.If this conversation helps you think differently about agents, influence mapping, and how to lock down your stack, subscribe, share with a teammate, and leave a quick review telling us the one control you plan to implement this week.Support the show
Il curling è uno degli sport protagonisti dei Giochi Olimpici Invernali 2026. Ma come si gioca? Quali sono le regole e a cosa serve la scopa? Il curling è uno sport olimpico in cui i giocatori, divisi in due squadre, fanno scivolare pesanti pietre di granito, dette “stone”, sul ghiaccio: lo scopo è riuscire a posizionarle il più vicino possibile alla “house”, cioè un'area circolare disegnata a terra. Questo gioco è diventato famoso anche grazie alla partecipazione dell'Italia alle gare di curling di doppio misto ai Giochi Olimpici. In questo video vedremo come funziona il curling dal punto di vista fisico, perché si spazzola il ghiaccio e come fanno i giocatori a non scivolare.

From the start, the Epstein investigation was engineered to produce narrow results. Narrow charges do not emerge naturally when evidence points to a sprawling criminal enterprise fueled by money, access, and institutional protection. The focus on Epstein alone was a deliberate choice designed to avoid following the financial infrastructure that made his crimes possible. The released emails and documents show awareness, coordination, and active containment, not ignorance. Sexual abuse was treated as the whole story because it could be isolated, while financial crimes would have exposed banks, intermediaries, and elite beneficiaries. Every dollar Epstein moved should have been treated as evidence of enterprise-level criminality, yet that scrutiny was avoided. RICO was never used because it would have forced prosecutors to acknowledge pattern, facilitation, and mutual benefit. That would have dragged the financial sector into the light, and that outcome was unacceptable to those in power. This was not incompetence or oversight. It was a controlled, scoped-down operation from the beginning.When Epstein became a liability who might talk, the narrow investigation became untenable, but his removal did not erase the evidence. Financial records, emails, and transaction histories still exist and still point to beneficiaries who profited while keeping their hands “clean.” The unanswered questions are all financial: who received money, who structured the vehicles, who vouched for him, and who chose profit over accountability. The contrast with cases like Martha Stewart exposes the hypocrisy of enforcement priorities, where market disruption is punished but elite stability is protected. Figures like Leon Black and Les Wexner exemplify how proximity to power insulates culpability through delay and fragmentation. The investigation was tilted long before Epstein's death, designed to deliver a villain without a reckoning. Survivors were denied full accountability, and the public was given closure without truth. Until the financial architecture that enabled Epstein is confronted, justice has not begun—it has been deliberately postponed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Protect your insulation business from liability and ensure you get paid for every job with expert legal strategies designed specifically for contractors. Learn why a handshake isn't enough and how a proper contract can save you from expensive litigation. On this episode of the R-Value Podcast, IDI expert Ken Allison interviews Karalynn Cromeens, Managing Partner of The Cromeens Law Firm and host of the "Quit Getting Screwed" podcast. Construction law expert Karalynn Cromeens joins the show to discuss the critical importance of written contracts in the residential insulation industry. She explains why "managing expectations" is the number one defense against lawsuits and how specific contract language can limit liability, especially for spray foam applicators dealing with pre-existing building defects. The discussion highlights the dangers of working without a signed agreement—even for small or pro-bono jobs—and provides actionable advice on how to structure warranties to avoid the "never-ending punch list" that delays final payment. Beyond contracts, the conversation shifts to dispute resolution and the financial side of running a contracting business. Karalynn shares candid advice on why settling fast is often better than being "right" in court and why you should trust your gut when a potential client raises red flags.

Customer feedback for developers is one of the fastest ways to improve a product—and one of the easiest ways to derail it. When you're building something you care about, every comment feels important. The challenge is learning how to listen without letting feedback pull you in ten different directions. This episode explores how developers can use customer feedback to sharpen focus, avoid scope creep, and move faster—without losing the original vision that made the product worth building in the first place. About Tyler Dane Tyler Dane has dedicated his career to helping people better manage—and truly appreciate—their time. After working as a full-time Software Engineer, Tyler recently stepped away from traditional employment to focus entirely on building Compass Calendar, a productivity app designed to help everyday users visualize and plan their day more intentionally. The tool is built from firsthand experience, not theory—shaped by years of experimenting with productivity systems, tools, and workflows. In a bold reset, Tyler sold most of his belongings and relocated to San Francisco to focus on growing the product, collaborating with partners, and pushing Compass forward. Outside of coding, Tyler creates YouTube videos and writes about time management and productivity. After consuming countless productivity books, tools, and frameworks, he realized a common trap: doing more without actually accomplishing what matters. That insight led him to break productivity down into its most practical, nuanced components—cutting through hustle culture noise to focus on systems that actually work. Tyler is unapologetically honest and independent. With no investors, no sponsors, and nothing to sell beyond the value of his work, his focus is simple: help people get more done—and appreciate the limited time they have to do it. Follow Tyler on LinkedIn, YouTube, and X. Customer feedback for developers: Why "this is great, but…" matters Most useful feedback doesn't sound negative at first. It usually starts with, "This is great, but…" That "but" is where the signal lives. For developers, the mistake isn't ignoring feedback—it's stopping at the compliment. The real value is understanding what's missing, confusing, or blocking progress. Teams that grow fastest learn to treat that follow-up as actionable data, not criticism. The "This Is Great, But…" Checklist Capture the "but" immediately before it gets softened or forgotten Translate it into a concrete problem statement you can validate Customer feedback for developers: how to find the right people to talk to Not all feedback is equal. Talking to the wrong audience can send you down expensive paths that don't actually improve your product. Customer feedback for developers works best when it comes from people who: Actively experience the problem you're solving Would realistically adopt or pay for your solution Share similar workflows and constraints Broad feedback feels productive but often leads to vague changes. Focused conversations lead to clarity. Customer feedback for developers: filtering input to prevent scope creep Scope creep rarely starts with bad intent. It starts with trying to please everyone. The fix isn't saying "no" to customers—it's filtering feedback through a clear lens: Does this solve the core problem? Does this help our ideal user? Does this move the product forward right now? Avoid Scope Creep Without Ignoring Customers Separate "interesting ideas" from "next priorities." Keep a backlog for later so good ideas don't hijack today's focus Customer feedback for developers: balancing vision with real user needs Strong products sit at the intersection of vision and reality. If you only follow feedback, you become reactive. If you ignore it, you risk building in isolation. Customer feedback for developers should challenge assumptions—not erase direction. The goal is refinement, not reinvention, with every conversation. Customer feedback for developers: building momentum with faster shipping One consistent theme is speed. Slow feedback loops kill momentum. Shipping faster—even in small increments—creates learning. Fast cycles: Reveal what actually matters Improve judgment over time Reduce emotional attachment to individual decisions Build Momentum With Speed and Structure Short shipping cycles reduce overthinking Volume creates clarity faster than perfect planning Customer feedback for developers: choosing a niche in a crowded market General tools struggle in saturated spaces. Customer feedback for developers becomes clearer when you narrow your audience. Niching down doesn't limit opportunity—it increases relevance. How to position against "feature-parity" giants You don't win by copying large platforms. You win by serving a specific workflow better than anyone else. Self-direction when you don't have a manager Without an external structure, prioritization becomes your job. Customer feedback replaces task assignments—but only if you actively use it to set direction. Clear priorities beat unlimited freedom. Conclusion Customer feedback for developers isn't about collecting opinions—it's about building judgment. When you listen to the right people, filter ruthlessly, and ship quickly, feedback becomes a growth engine instead of a distraction. If you're building something of your own, treat feedback as fuel—not a steering wheel.

From the start, the Epstein investigation was engineered to produce narrow results. Narrow charges do not emerge naturally when evidence points to a sprawling criminal enterprise fueled by money, access, and institutional protection. The focus on Epstein alone was a deliberate choice designed to avoid following the financial infrastructure that made his crimes possible. The released emails and documents show awareness, coordination, and active containment, not ignorance. Sexual abuse was treated as the whole story because it could be isolated, while financial crimes would have exposed banks, intermediaries, and elite beneficiaries. Every dollar Epstein moved should have been treated as evidence of enterprise-level criminality, yet that scrutiny was avoided. RICO was never used because it would have forced prosecutors to acknowledge pattern, facilitation, and mutual benefit. That would have dragged the financial sector into the light, and that outcome was unacceptable to those in power. This was not incompetence or oversight. It was a controlled, scoped-down operation from the beginning.When Epstein became a liability who might talk, the narrow investigation became untenable, but his removal did not erase the evidence. Financial records, emails, and transaction histories still exist and still point to beneficiaries who profited while keeping their hands “clean.” The unanswered questions are all financial: who received money, who structured the vehicles, who vouched for him, and who chose profit over accountability. The contrast with cases like Martha Stewart exposes the hypocrisy of enforcement priorities, where market disruption is punished but elite stability is protected. Figures like Leon Black and Les Wexner exemplify how proximity to power insulates culpability through delay and fragmentation. The investigation was tilted long before Epstein's death, designed to deliver a villain without a reckoning. Survivors were denied full accountability, and the public was given closure without truth. Until the financial architecture that enabled Epstein is confronted, justice has not begun—it has been deliberately postponed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
Send me a messageIf 98% of your emissions sit in your supply chain, what does that say about your resilience when things start to break?In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I'm joined by Keith O'Flynn, Group Supply Chain Sustainability Manager at John Sisk & Son. Construction is often labelled slow, conservative, and carbon-heavy. But beneath the surface, it's becoming a stress test for how resilient modern supply chains really are. With regulation tightening, data under scrutiny, and material risks rising, this conversation lands right at the intersection of resilience, sustainability, and operational reality.You'll hear how Sisk discovered that Scope 1 and 2 account for just 2% of its emissions, while a staggering 98% sit upstream in the supply chain, turning decarbonisation into a resilience challenge overnight. We break down why concrete and steel dominate risk exposure, and how low-carbon alternatives are finally moving from theory to site-ready practice.You might be surprised to learn why construction sites can burn more energy after hours than during the working day, how poor emissions data can be wrong by ±100%, and why better visibility is now as critical as better materials. We also dig into supplier engagement at scale, the limits of hydrogen hype, and why resilience increasingly depends on standards, trust, and data you can actually defend.

This month we are focusing on neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS), with an emphasis on the underlying physiology and clinical presentation. Our host, Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP and guest Camille Fung, MD review the mechanisms of opioid exposure and withdrawal, including neuroexcitability and the gastrointestinal and autonomic manifestations commonly seen in affected newborns. The discussion also highlights the role of specialized clinics and coordinated care models that support mothers during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Together, this episode provides a foundational understanding of NOWS to help clinicians recognize symptoms early and deliver informed, compassionate care to both infants and their families.
