The differences between an adult Sunday school class and one for kids are quite striking. A class for toddlers and preschoolers is rarely organized around the logic of a Bible passage, or even a lesson outline. Instead, lessons are structured by the classroom schedule and environment—by a basic routine and activity centers that are designed for play, music, the Bible story, and other games or crafts. How do we prepare children's lessons that are Christ-centered, biblically faithful, engaging for kids, and oriented towards the distinct ways that kids learn? This workshop will help you learn how to do just that. Jared Kennedy serves as an editor for The Gospel Coalition. He is also co-founder of Gospel-Centered Family and the author of books for children and families like Faith-Builder Catechism (New Growth Press, 2023), Keeping Your Children's Ministry on Mission (Crossway, 2022), and The Beginner's Gospel Story Bible (New Growth, 2017). He, his wife Megan, and their three daughters live in Louisville, Kentucky, where they attend Sojourn Church Midtown.

Before You Do It: Understanding Your Scope of PracticeAm I educated? Am I authorized? Am I competent?When you're faced with a nursing activity and find yourself wondering, “Is this within my scope?” the answer isn't always a simple yes or no.In this episode of College Connection, the College's Practice Consultants break down one of the most important—and sometimes misunderstood—concepts in nursing: scope of practice.Rather than relying on a list of tasks nurses can or cannot perform, we'll introduce a practical three-question check that can help guide your decision-making: Am I educated? Am I authorized? Am I competent?We'll explore what each of those questions really means, how your individual scope of practice can differ from another nurse's, and why being able to perform an activity doesn't necessarily mean you should.Whether you're an RN, NP, LPN or RPN, this episode will help you think differently about scope and make informed, safe decisions in your everyday practice.Find the Scope of Practice documents here: https://nlcn.ca/standards-and-practice/scope-of-practice/Find the Considerations for Determining Assignment of Care here: https://nlcn.ca/standards-and-practice/practice-resources/considerations-for-determining-assignment-of-care/ Hosted on Acast.

Building a successful client accounting services practice isn't just about choosing the right software or pricing model — it starts with the clients you choose and how openly you communicate with your team about what drives profit.In this episode, co-hosts Damien Greathead and Penny Breslin field listener questions on some of the most pressing operational challenges facing CAS firm owners today. The conversation opens with a deceptively simple question: how much should your team know about client profitability? Penny and Damien unpack why sharing the profitability of services — rather than individual client financials — can help your team understand the impact of scope creep, delays and inefficiency, without exposing sensitive numbers.From there, they dig into the real-world damage caused by clients who chronically delay. Penny shares how repeated bottlenecks from a handful of clients can derail an entire workflow, stress the team and block the path to higher-value advisory work. They discuss practical strategies for identifying the root cause of delays — whether it's missing documents or unanswered questions — and adapting your communication method to suit each client.The episode also covers the case for vertical specialisation, with real examples of firms that specialised in breweries, dental practices and restaurants, including how deep industry knowledge helped one firm help clients pivot through COVID lockdowns. Damien and Penny close with a candid discussion on AI's actual impact on accounting workflows and the realities of using offshore teams, including why team buy-in matters more than client perception.IN THIS EPISODEUnderstand why service-level profitability matters more than client-level profitability — and how to share that insight with your team without exposing sensitive financial dataIdentify and manage chronic client delays before they derail your entire workflow and block the path to advisory workSeparate "missing information" from "missing documents" in your workflow statuses to diagnose the real cause of bottlenecksDiscover how vertical specialisation can sharpen your marketing, reduce overheads and make your firm the go-to expert in an industryHear real examples of firms that specialised and thrived — including a restaurant specialist who helped clients pivot to distilleries during COVID lockdownsLearn how to respond when clients ask whether AI should reduce your fees — and why the reality of AI in bookkeeping is far messier than the marketing suggestsUnderstand what it takes to make offshore teams successful — and why internal team buy-in matters more than client perceptionExplore how to communicate the value of monthly CAS services to clients who only see the worth of annual compliance workCompanies mentioned in this episode:Moneypennyllc.comQuickBooksXero

Max Hodak, co-founder and CEO of Science Corporation, joins Sarah Guo to discuss the future of vision, brain-computer interfaces, and the human experience. Max explains how Science's PRIMA retinal implant could restore functional vision for people who have lost their sight, and why treating the brain as a computational system could unlock new approaches to medicine. They explore the broader potential of neural devices, from restoring lost capabilities to expanding human potential, as well as deeper questions around identity, consciousness, and whether the human experience can persist as our biological hardware changes. Max also shares Science's long-term vision for reducing the fragility of the human condition by repairing, replacing, and ultimately upgrading parts of ourselves. Finally, he discusses the surprising parallels between AI models and biological brains, and why AI may offer a powerful new lens for understanding intelligence.

For many speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and myofunctional providers, billing and documentation feel like navigating an ever-shifting maze. Between selecting appropriate CPT codes, justifying medical necessity, and adhering to strict scope-of-practice guidelines, clinicians often struggle to ensure proper reimbursement while remaining compliant.In this episode, Hallie Bulkin breaks down the essential mechanics of billing for myofunctional therapy services. She addresses common points of confusion around core codes - such as CPT 92526 (treatment of swallowing dysfunction and/or oral function for feeding) and 92507 (speech/language treatment) - and offers practical strategies for documenting functional gains accurately.Hallie also previews upcoming CPT code updates slated for 2027, shedding light on how these structural changes will impact private pay practices, electronic health records (EHRs), and clinical workflows. Whether you are navigating insurance reimbursement or operating an out-of-network practice, this episode equips you with the clarity needed to code with confidence and integrity.Key Topics & TakeawaysDeconstructing CPT 92526 vs. 92507: Clarifying the distinct clinical applications for swallowing/feeding dysfunction versus speech and language treatment.The 2027 CPT Code Shift: Preparing your practice, EHR templates, and clinical documentation for upcoming coding structure changes.Scope of Practice & Provider Eligibility: Understanding state licensing, board regulations, and billing qualifications across different therapeutic disciplines.Defensible Documentation: Crafting objective, function-focused clinical notes that justify medical necessity and withstand insurance audits.Out-of-Network & Private Pay Strategies: Equipping cash-pay practices with accurate super/ superbill documentation to help patients seek reimbursement seamlessly.Soundbites"A CPT code isn't just a billing number - it is a translation of your clinical documentation and direct scope of practice.""When preparing for coding changes, proactive documentation systems protect both your practice and your patients.""Bill for what you treat, document what you see, and ensure every note clearly establishes functional necessity."Timestamps 00:00:00 - 3 Verification Steps Before Coding00:04:23 - Deep Dive: Myo & CPT Code 9252600:06:37 - Reporting 92526 & 92507 Together00:09:45 - Provider Scope & License Boundaries00:13:47 - Dental Hygienist (RDH) Reimbursement Reality00:15:53 - Strong vs. Weak Documentation Examples00:18:16 - Private Pay & Superbill Responsibilities00:19:42 - 2027 Deletion of 9250700:20:47 - Why 92507 Was Flagged by AMA/CMS00:26:26 - Private Practice Transition Strategy00:27:43 - Clinical Reasoning vs. Endless Exercises00:29:01 - Immediate Action PlanLinks & ResourcesFast Myo Screening Tool: Streamline your intake documentation and baseline evaluations at FastMyoScreening.com.WORTH A LISTEN: CONTINUE YOUR JOURNEYScreening vs. Assessment vs. Treatment: Why Every Clinician Needs to Know the Difference.How Root Cause Assessment Changes Feeding and Speech Outcomes.STAY CONNECTED

PIC/S has issued its first major update to its qualification and validation recommendations in nearly 20 years. PI 006-4 replaces PI 006-3 from 2007 and brings the document much closer to how qualification and validation are approached today.In this video, I walk through where PI 006-4 fits within the broader GMP framework, how it relates to EU Annex 15, and the sections I think are most worth paying attention to.A few of the major themes include a much stronger emphasis on quality risk management and lifecycle thinking, more explicit expectations around statistics, sampling, variability, and process capability, a move away from treating three validation batches as a default answer, and clearer discussion of traditional validation, continuous process verification (CPV), hybrid approaches, and ongoing process verification (OPV).The goal isn't to suggest that all of these concepts are brand new.

Automation still depends on the rules, agreements, and project boundaries surrounding the payment.In this episode of It's The Bottom Line that Matters, Jennifer R. Glass and Patricia Reszetylo discuss how contracts, payment policies, recurring billing, ACH withdrawals, and automated invoicing can support healthier cash flow.The conversation also examines scope creep. When clients repeatedly request additional designs, revisions, or deliverables without a formal change process, the resulting payment dispute may have started long before the invoice became overdue.Jennifer shares lessons from a large e-commerce website project involving repeated design changes and an unpaid balance. Patricia discusses her own experience allowing a project to expand beyond its original scope and the safeguards that could have prevented the problem.The episode covers setting revision limits, testing agreements against likely edge cases, involving an attorney in contract development, and defining what happens when ordinary payment reminders fail.This discussion is especially useful for consultants, agencies, contractors, and service-business owners who want more dependable payment collection, tighter project control, and fewer avoidable cash-flow problems.Keywords/Tags: It's The Bottom Line that Matters, Jennifer R.

On a federal prime-sub relationship, a scope review is a short document a prime walks through line by line so a subcontractor commits to payment terms, performance, and deliverables before work starts. David Rambhajan, a service-disabled veteran-owned construction contractor who built and sold his firm after 15 years, explains how that one habit prevents the price increases and missed expectations that sink most subcontractor relationships, and how small firms can partner on federal work without triggering affiliation. What you'll learn in this episode: - The three ways to partner on a federal contract and when to use each - Why a signed contract is not enough, and what a scope review adds before work begins - What the affiliation rules actually check when your subcontractor is a large business - How like-kind subcontracting lets a small firm meet self-performance requirements - How a service-disabled veteran-owned electrical sub helped deliver a $12M VA clinic Chapters: 0:00 - Three ways to partner on a federal contract 2:00 - Prime sub relationships and why clarity wins 4:00 - Scope reviews and stopping price creep 6:00 - Affiliation rules and the large business risk 8:00 - Self-performance requirements in construction 10:00 - Like-kind subcontracting with veteran-owned firms 12:00 - Inside a $12M VA design build in Minneapolis Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

Alan and Amy talk about designing the scope of work on the newest episode of Appraiser Talk's special series USPAP Talk.
On a federal construction job the government pays the general contractor within about 30 days, but the subcontractor gets paid only after hitting a milestone and floats the materials and labor in the meantime. West Edwards, a construction and roofing contractor who works Army Corps of Engineers projects, walks through how a subcontractor gets money on the ground early, uses supplier terms to push real payment out roughly 90 days, and negotiates payout timelines with a GC before the job starts. What you'll learn in this episode: The way to get paid upfront on a government job by setting materials on the ground for the inspector to see Why there are no mobilization fees in federal work and how that changes the way you finance a project How to use 60 day supplier terms and a line of credit to stretch your real payment out to about 90 days The conversation to have with your GC about milestones, the G703, and when you can submit for payment Why managing the cash flow matters more than knowing how to do the actual work Chapters: 0:00 - Finding federal contracts across SAM.gov and agency forecasts 0:48 - What going wrong on a job actually means 1:23 - Scope, spec, and the Unified Facilities Code trap 3:04 - The roof observer who was a silent competitor 4:03 - Why you build a margin into every bid 4:40 - Financing the job while you wait for payment 5:18 - How to get money upfront on a government contract 6:40 - Why cash flow beats craft on federal work 7:24 - The payment timeline from material to G703 to payout Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

In this episode, host Dr. Nick Rainey is joined by Dr. Bremen Abuhl and Dr. Dallas Ehrmantraut to discuss their 2025 Physical Therapy Journal article, “First Contact Physical Therapy Compared to Usual Primary Care for Musculoskeletal Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of RCTs.”The conversation explores whether physical therapists should serve as the first point of contact for patients with musculoskeletal disorders and how first contact PT compares with usual primary care.Dr. Abuhl and Dr. Ehrmantraut discuss their findings, including reduced imaging utilization, reduced prescription medication utilization, and similar clinical outcomes for pain, disability, and health-related quality of life. They also unpack the terminology around direct access, first contact PT, and primary care PT, and explain why direct triage models may offer a more efficient pathway for patients.The episode also addresses real-world implementation barriers, including reimbursement models, state scope-of-practice variation, imaging privileges, medication prescribing, stakeholder buy-in, and the need for PTs to step confidently into first contact roles.Key TakeawaysFirst contact PT is not the same as direct access. Direct access means patients can choose PT without referral. First contact PT means the PT is the first provider evaluating the patient for that episode of care.The study found lower healthcare utilization. First contact PT was associated with 45% less imaging and 71% less prescription medication utilization compared with usual primary care.Clinical outcomes were similar. Pain, disability, and health-related quality of life outcomes were statistically similar between first contact PT and usual primary care.Less imaging is not automatically the goal. The more important question is appropriate utilization: avoiding both overuse and underuse.Implementation is a system problem. Scope of practice, reimbursement, stakeholder buy-in, state law, and health system workflows all influence whether first contact PT can work.Direct triage may be the stronger model. Compared with warm handoffs, direct triage allows patients with appropriate MSK presentations to start with PT as the first provider.PTs need to be ready for real-world first contact care. That includes identifying red flags, determining urgency, ordering or recommending imaging when appropriate, and referring to the right provider when needed.

In this presentation, we take a deep dive into the 300-year history of mobile surgery supporting land campaigns — from Dominique Larrey's ambulance volantes through the Letterman system, Arnhem, the Falklands, Mali, and the current Russia-Ukraine war. Drawing on rare surgical memoirs, battle maps, and personal accounts, the discussion extracts the recurring problems that technology has never fully solved: logistics drag, extended timelines, signature management, and the tension between mobility and capability.We then turn to the horizon. In an era of mosaic warfare and large-scale combat operations, medicine cannot remain a drag factor. The talk explores contractile and expandable surgical systems, single-surgeon reach, austere armored resuscitation teams, underground and containerized facilities, emissions control, and how we expand the surgical workforce under resource constraints while still doing the most for the most.Whether you are preparing for LSCO, SOF support, or prolonged field care in denied environments, the hard-won lessons of the past remain the best preparation for the fight ahead.Key TakeawaysMobile surgery is not new — Larrey, Guthrie, Pirogov, and Letterman already solved (and documented) many of the mobility and triage problems we still face.Institutional memory fades fast. Rare single-edition war surgery texts must be digitized and pushed into training pipelines before the lessons are watered down.In mosaic warfare the linear Role 1–4 model is insufficient. Surgical capability must become a mesh: dispersed, diggable, low-signature, and able to expand or contract with the fight.Big fixed facilities and large tented Role 2/3s become high-value targets. Single-surgeon or small polyvalent teams, pre-dug containers, underground sites, and armored austere teams offer greater survivability and shorter wounding-to-surgery times.Blood, sterilizing capacity, anesthetic volume, and outflow remain the greatest logistic constraints. Expectation management and robust triage (including expectant) will be non-negotiable.Capability can be extended by bringing registrars, ODPs/CRNA-equivalents, and well-trained medics further forward earlier — but this requires deliberate peacetime training and wartime derogations.Command and control, decision-making loops, and the ability to cache or hand off casualties must be rehearsed now, not improvised under fire.Chapters00:00 – Introduction & Scope: 300 Years of Mobile Surgery02:00 – Institutional Memory, Rare Texts & the Risk of Forgetting05:25 – Dominique Larrey & the Birth of the Ambulance Volante07:00 – Guthrie, Napoleonic Lessons & Early British Mobility07:40 – Crimea, Pirogov's Forward Teams & Brunel's Prefabs08:15 – The Letterman System & the American Civil War08:50 – World War I: Auto-Chir, Operating Cars & the Limits of Static Warfare11:15 – Spanish Civil War: Civilian Surgeons & Fluid Fronts12:00 – World War II Desert, SAS & the Reality of Extreme Isolation13:40 – Arnhem, Market Garden & Improvised Care Under Fire16:00 – Varsity, Chindits & the Logistics Drag of Jungle Warfare18:00 – Falklands, Gulf War, Mali & Modern Mobility Challenges19:50 – Ukraine: Extended Timelines, Targeting of Medical Assets & Aged Injuries20:50 – Horizon Scan: Mosaic Warfare & Contractile Surgical Systems22:00 – Dispersion, Digging In, Underground Facilities & Signature Management24:00 – Capability Extenders, Team Composition & Decision-Making Under Constraint25:30 – Logistics, Blood, Sterilization & the Middle Ground Between Fixed and Tiny Teams27:00 – Closing Thoughts & QuestionsFollow @prolonged_field_care and visit prolongedfieldcare.org for more austere and prolonged field care education.
An ISV doesn't have to store card data to have PCI responsibilities. If its software, integrations, access, vendors, or deployment processes can impact the security of cardholder data, it may already be operating as a service provider.In this episode, Kitty and Chris sit down with Steve Levinson of LHC Advisors to break down the PCI scope trap, the service-provider requirements many ISVs overlook, and why relying on a compliant payment vendor doesn't make the responsibility disappear. They also discuss Level 1 versus Level 2 validation, QSA-led assessments, vendor-chain attacks, breach exposure, and why strong PCI evidence is quickly becoming a commercial requirement, not just a compliance exercise.
Audits are not supposed to be gotchas, and they are not meant to evaluate one person's work in isolation. A good audit looks at whether a system is suitable, effective, and adequate and where it may need to improve.In this video, I share the lessons I learned as I moved from being audited and supporting audit rooms to conducting audits as a certified lead auditor:1) Audit the system, not the person: The goal is to understand how the system operates, not to catch an individual making a mistake.2) Look for patterns, not isolated errors: One typo is different from a recurring or systemic problem, unless the individual event is critical.3) Scope the audit before you start: The objective, criteria, time, resources, and agenda need to align before the audit begins.4) Technical expertise is not the same as audit skill: Auditing requires its own tools, tactics, strategies, interviewing skills, and qualification.5) Lower the temperature to get better evidence: People communicate more clearly when the auditor reduces unnecessary anxiety, although assertiveness is sometimes necessary when information is being withheld.Chapters00:00 Audits Aren't Gotchas00:38 Audit the System, Not the Person03:16 Look for Patterns, Not Isolated Mistakes05:27 Set a Clear Audit Scope08:21 Auditing Is Its Own Skill and Being Technical Helps11:11 Lower the Temperature and Be a HumanAbout SubhiSubhi Saadeh is a quality professional, consultant, auditor, and trainer who specializes in drug-device combination products, medical devices, pharmaceutical quality systems, supplier quality, and lifecycle management.

AI risk intelligence can turn public corporate disclosures into a living view of threats before leaders see them internally. Jim Massey, founder and CEO of Eastward AI, explains how his platform reframes risk as the gap between where an organization stands and where it needs to go. Rather than relying on static spreadsheets and siloed annual reviews, Eastward builds a corporate persona from filings, reports, press releases, industry standards and competitive data, then uses curated agents to identify relevant changes.Massey describes a private-company example in which the system connected a supplier announcement with a manufacturing fire and flagged exposure affecting roughly 15% of a client's business. He also walks through a beverage-company review that surfaced potential pressure from European drought conditions, tariffs and shipping disruption through the Strait of Hormuz.The conversation covers Eastward's Reality Check feature, risk cards, citations for generated statements, audit trails, supplier scorecards and visual maps showing how multiple threats connect. Massey explains why people remain responsible for validating context, controls and reports, even when artificial intelligence handles much of the research and document production.Host Sean Grady also asks how the platform supports sustainability teams, Scope 3 supply-chain reviews, executive decision-making and board reporting. Massey argues that faster, lower-cost assessments can move risk management beyond compliance and toward strategy, while keeping humans accountable for the final call.Thanks to our Sponsors: WASTELINQ, E-Tank, and Cascade Environmental.#ArtificialIntelligence #CorporateStrategy #RiskManagement TAGS:Jim Massy, EastwardAI, Eastward artificial intelligence, risk management technology, corporate risk analytics, executive decision support, continuous risk monitoring, ERM modernization, third party due diligence, supplier risk scoring, materiality assessment automation, ESG risk systems, C suite risk strategy, board risk reporting, human in the loop AI, AI governance for business, regulatory risk alerts, risk taxonomy software, corporate persona modeling, active intelligence platform

We asked Scoreboard AI's Charles Ma what the single most expensive mistake contractors make at buyout is. His answer:"Outsourcing their understanding of the project to their trade partners."Charles was employee #1 at Versatile, one of construction tech's most well-funded bets (over $100M raised). Now he's building Scoreboard AI to fix a much quieter problem: scope gaps that get buried in project documents and don't surface until the crew is standing there waiting for a fix.In this episode we get into:- What Versatile got right, and where the product fell short of the ROI it promised- Why Charles thinks "AI wrappers are dead" in preconstruction- How hard bid, GMP, and design-build buyout processes each create their own scope gap risk- Why Scoreboard has deliberately stayed away from flashy fundraise announcementsFull episode is live on Bricks and Bytes Youtube Channel#bricksandbytes #bricksbytes #aec #construction #constructiontech #ai #vcChapters00:00 - Teaser01:00 - Quickfire Round02:32 - Inside Versatile: the early days and the Chase Center project09:27 - Is construction tech overhyped or underhyped right now11:10 - Why Scoreboard has avoided the flashy fundraise playbook16:43 - The perverse incentives of VC-backed construction tech20:21 - Do "AI wrappers" win the current land grab26:02 - Why Charles believes AI wrappers are dead28:25 - What a scope gap actually is, and why it happens at buyout32:55 - Hard bid vs. GMP vs. design-build: where the gaps creep in36:50 - Measuring the real cost of scope gaps41:51 - How Scoreboard AI actually works43:21 - Show your work: building trust in AI outputs48:59 - Pricing philosophy: running Scoreboard like a Costco51:26 - Expansion beyond the US52:41 - What's working in go-to-market right now54:08 - Will AI ever run preconstruction end-to-endOur Sponsors:BreadCrumb- 50,000+ projects globally.

Many coaches will back away the moment a client's voice cracks. Dr. Michael Arloski thinks that instinct — however well-intentioned — is quietly undermining the behavior change we're hired to create.Michael has been in the wellness field since 1979. He's a licensed psychologist, a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach, an ICF Professional Certified Coach, CEO of Real Balance Global Wellness Services, author of one of the foundational texts in our field (Wellness Coaching for Lasting Lifestyle Change), and the creator of the Wellness Mapping 360 model. Few people alive have watched this profession grow up the way he has.In this conversation we get specific about the line between coaching and therapy — where it actually sits, versus where anxious coaches imagine it sits. Michael unpacks what happens to lasting change when a coach sidesteps emotional content entirely, what it looks like to tap into a client's emotion without drifting into therapy, and the go-to move he uses when a client is clearly sitting on something they haven't named. We also get into the part nobody talks about: how much of this depends on the coach's own emotional regulation and self-awareness rather than technique.If you've ever felt under-qualified to sit with a client's emotion, this one's for you.Info re earning your health & wellness coaching certification, annual Rocky Mountain Coaching Retreat & Symposium & more via https://www.catalystcoachinginstitute.com/ Best-in-class coaching for Employers, EAPs & wellness providers https://catalystcoaching360.com/Tap into the home of the (freely available) Not Done Yet! articles on unlocking life's 2nd half here.YouTube Coaching Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/CoachingChannelContact us: Results@CatalystCoaching360.comTwitter: @Catalyst2ThriveWebsite: CatalystCoaching360.comIf you are a current or future health & wellness coach, please check out our Health & Wellness Coaching Community on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/278207545599218.

Get in touch - leave me a messageCarbon accounting can send companies straight at the wrong problem. A visible sustainability initiative may feel productive while the real emissions hotspot sits in raw materials, product design or the supply chain.My guest is John Beath, CEO and Chief Technical Director of John Beath Environmental, whose work in lifecycle assessment helps companies test assumptions before they commit money, engineering effort or supplier changes. The stakes are practical: get the system boundary wrong, and a product carbon footprint can misdirect investment rather than improve it.We examine why Scope 3 emissions so often dwarf what happens inside the factory, why bio-based or recycled materials are not automatically the lower-carbon choice, and what leaders miss when durability, reverse logistics or avoided emissions are left out. We also unpack the solar-panel case where the presumed hotspot was silicon—but the decisive intervention was elsewhere.Listen now to understand how better lifecycle assessment can expose the carbon decisions that matter most—and stop your organisation spending heavily on fixes that barely move the needle.Sign up to Climate Confident+ for deep dive analysis of the major climate and energy stories of the day.Support the showPodcast subscribersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing subscribers:Anita KrajncCecilia SkarupaBen GrossJerry SweeneyAndreas WernerStephen CarrollRoger ArnoldAnd 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.
California's Delete Act (SB 362) introduced DROP (Delete Request and Opt-out Platform), which launched on January 1, 2026. It lets residents submit one deletion request that automatically propagates to all registered data brokers in the state—currently around 500 companies. The Core Problem It SolvesData brokers collect and resell personal information from people they've never directly interacted with. Before DROP, individuals had to manually find each broker, submit separate requests, and hope for compliance with no centralized tracking.How DROP WorksResidency Verification: Users prove they're Californian via the California Identity Gateway or Login.gov (no permanent state account needed). This avoids redundant collection of sensitive data by brokers.Provide Identifiers: Users submit details like name (and former names), date of birth, ZIP code, email, phone, mobile advertising IDs (MAID), connected TV IDs, and VINs. More identifiers improve matching accuracy across brokers.Centralized Submission: One request is sent to all registered brokers.Privacy-Preserving Matching: California does not share raw personal data. Instead, it normalizes and hashes identifiers, creating deletion lists. Brokers hash their own records and compare hashes. Matches trigger deletion without exposing underlying data—similar in concept to lightweight privacy-preserving techniques.Recurring Compliance Cycle: Starting August 1, 2026, brokers must check DROP at least every 45 days (via API or download), process new requests, and honor prior deletions through ongoing suppression.Multi-Identifier Lists: Separate hashed lists exist for different data types; brokers use those relevant to their holdings.Full Deletion: A match requires deleting all associated records for that individual, not just the matching identifier, and preventing future sales.Reporting and Transparency: Brokers report completion status back through DROP, allowing users to track progress from pending to completed.Ongoing Obligation: Deletion is not one-time; brokers must maintain suppression lists indefinitely.Global Reach: Any data broker processing significant volumes of Californians' data (threshold ~100,000 records) must register and comply, regardless of headquarters location.Broker Burden: Requires new infrastructure for hashing pipelines, scheduled polling, cross-identifier matching, suppression, and reporting. The state provides documentation, webinars, and test environments.Enforcement: Third-party audits begin in 2028 and recur every three years. Fines reach $200 per consumer per day for noncompliance.Scope and RequirementsWhy It MattersDROP targets brokers handling highly sensitive data (geolocation, biometrics, SSNs). Beyond faster deletions, it compels the industry to adopt stronger technical privacy and security practices. The architecture is innovative: the state coordinates mass privacy actions across hundreds of companies without ever holding or seeing raw personal data. If successful under real-world load from August 2026 onward, it could become a model for other states and countries—enabling deletion at scale without relying on trust.Closing Insight: The real breakthrough isn't just the deletion feature but the underlying privacy infrastructure that makes coordinated, verifiable, and secure data removal possible.

A small-town newspaper headline blamed a school nurse for delaying classes. The real story is much bigger. In this investigative episode of Nurse Converse, nurse journalist Jana Price sits down with Moriah Benjamin, a Pennsylvania LPN who was fired after refusing to work as a school nurse without proper supervision — a violation of her scope of practice under state law. Moriah shares what happened the night she called off, the 95-page school board hearing where she represented herself, the charges that changed between letters, and the closing statement that's now rallying nurses everywhere: "I'd rather lose my job today than my license tomorrow." A must-listen conversation about scope of practice, license protection, school nurse staffing, and what it costs to stand up for what's right.Jump ahead:00:36 – Jana introduces the investigation and guest Moriah Benjamin, an LPN and former school nurse in Millville, Pennsylvania02:15 – How a local newspaper headline sparked a months-long investigation — and why the paper never got Moriah's side05:27 – Moriah walks through April 16th and 17th: the coverage gap, her repeated concerns, and the proper call-off09:05 – Jana reads the original news article and breaks down Pennsylvania's LPN supervision laws and PDE guidance for school nurses13:16 – The "backup" nurse in the neighboring district turns out to be another LPN14:29 – Life as a single mom on $28,000 a year with no benefits — and where her ten absences really came from18:41 – The 95-page school board hearing: Moriah represents herself after a $250 consult was all she could afford23:22 – Approved to work the summer program on April 20th — then served with charges on May 4th25:59 – Testimony changes three times on whether a CSN was ever made available30:58 – The safety math: one CSN, two LPNs, two districts, and up to 1,500 students per nurse38:09 – The charges that changed between May 4th and May 9th — and the objection that got shut down44:03 – "This was retaliatory": why Moriah believes the hearing was never about attendance50:25 – The closing statement: "I would rather lose my job today than my license tomorrow"52:57 – Life after termination, Studio 143 Designs, and the call for accountability in Millville and beyond59:06 – Moriah's message to nurses: stand firm, protect your license, protect your patientsThe investigation this analysis grew out ofSchool Nurse Fired After Refusing Assignment; Investigation Questions Staffing and Scope — Jana Price, Nurse on the RecordSchool Nurse Fired After Refusing Assignment: "I'd Rather Lose My Job Than My License"School Nurse RulesPart 1: School Nurses Must Refuse Unsafe Work.

Send me a messageCarbon data is moving out of annual reports and into the transaction itself. If your product-level information is incomplete, market access, customer trust and supply-chain decisions can all suffer.My guest is Stephen Jamieson, Chief Marketing Officer for SAP Sustainability. We examine why Scope 3 emissions, digital product passports and product carbon footprints are becoming operational requirements, not side projects, and what happens when procurement, finance and supply-chain planning rely on disconnected or average data.We challenge the assumption that more AI automatically means better decisions. AI will optimise what the business measures well; if carbon, water, materials and supplier data are missing, it can simply accelerate the wrong outcome. We also look at why the real bottleneck is integration, how agentic AI could reduce the cost of product-level analysis, and where human accountability must remain.Listen now to understand why carbon data is becoming a licence to sell—and what supply-chain leaders need to fix before compliance becomes a commercial constraint.Support the showPodcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's generous Subscribers:Alicia FaragKieran OgnevGary LynchAnd remember you too can become a Resilient Supply Chain+ subscriber - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent episodes like this one and give you access to bonus episodes of topical, timely supply chain resilience analysis.
Privacy Perspectives: Data Broker Laws Are Expanding. Is Your Business in Scope? Data broker laws are expanding quickly, and their reach may extend beyond companies that traditionally think of themselves as data brokers. In this episode of Privacy Perspectives, Alex Schneider, Aaron Burstein, and Céline Guillou discuss the changing state and federal regulatory landscape, including New Jersey's newly enacted requirements, California's Delete Act, evolving definitions of data brokers, and the growing importance of understanding specific data flows. They also examine how these laws may affect retailers, advertisers, technology providers, and other businesses that collect, enrich, license, sell, or share consumer data. Aaron J.

Host Malcolm Harris and co-host Michael Vincent kick off a packed Wednesday edition of the "fastest forty-five minutes of freight". The hosts open with lighthearted banter comparing the intense summer heat and humidity in Chattanooga versus Texas before diving into current news, industry headlines, and deep-dive discussions with two featured guests. Industry Headlines CDL Safety Blitz Crackdowns: The hosts discuss recent multi-state commercial vehicle inspection blitzes (in states like Arizona and Nebraska) that placed dozens of trucks and drivers out of service. Michael argues that despite these enforcement drives, statistical data shows commercial drivers remain among the safest demographics on the road, questioning the underlying motivations behind the blitzes. In Memoriam – Alan Adler: The hosts pay tribute to award-winning journalist Alan Adler, who passed away. They reflect on his legacy as a pioneer in freight media, creator of the Truck Tech newsletter, and a dedicated humanitarian. Featured Guests Dave Rimkus | Head of Global Supply Chain Decarbonization, Schneider Electric (SE Advisory Services) Supply Chain Decarbonization & Scope 1–3: Dave discusses how large multinational companies are working to decarbonize. He notes that 80–95% of a company's emissions typically lie outside its "four walls" within upstream suppliers and logistics (Scope 3). Addressing Choke Points & Risk: Using AI tools like "Sarah" (Resource Advisor), Dave's team tracks environmental choke points, energy grid instability, and supply chain dependencies to build resilience and avoid costly disruptions. Practical Efficiency: Dave highlights how simple efficiency steps—such as route optimization, reducing deadhead miles, truck aerodynamics, and preventative maintenance—offer immediate cost savings and carbon reductions without requiring massive new expenditures. Phil Brink | Head of Fraud Media, FreightWaves Rising Cargo Theft & Fraud: Phil details the growing sophistication of organized crime in supply chains. Bad actors no longer rely solely on dockworker tips; they use AI, stolen identities, fictitious paperwork, and fraudulent carrier profiles to steal high-value loads. Human-Level Vetting & Collaboration: Phil argues for stronger human-level carrier verification (DMV-backed ID checks, biometric links, and GPS tracking) rather than relying on surface-level documentation. He emphasizes the urgent need for better collaboration and shared tech standards between brokers and shippers to catch fraud before trucks are loaded.

Send us Fan MailChris Hobson, CEO of Rare Beauty Brands, home to Patchology and Kate Somerville, breaks down the business of beauty: the insight that turned Old Spice around, what it now costs to build a brand, how to handle dupes, and the metrics founders should track.Who is Chris Hobson?He started a clothing brand in college in Canada, then joined Procter & Gamble in brand management, running Scope, Folgers Canada, Old Spice, and Secret before an MBA and a career building brands. "As a brand manager, you get trained as sort of the mini general manager of your brand."How did he turn around Old Spice?By finding an insight instead of denying the brand's age. Research showed a woman would borrow her partner's deodorant from almost any brand except Old Spice. "We came up with this funny tongue in cheek positioning of Old Spice as the last bastion of masculinity." The brand went from a distant fifth to third in Canada, and the positioning went global.What makes consumers loyal to a beauty brand?Product quality first, emotional connection second. "When you get that magic of the consumer insight married to really high quality product, that's the foundation of a brand."What insight drives Patchology and Kate Somerville?Two very different ones. "The insight for a Patchology consumer is I want a moment of joy... the act of putting on the mask slows me down from my crazy day." The Kate Somerville consumer is buying certainty from a clinic with 20 years and 250,000 facials behind it.Should beauty brands chase trends?Only in ways authentic to the brand, though Hobson is candid about the pull. "The science is sort of suspect, but hey, it's a $10 million opportunity. How do we not do it?" Brands lose themselves when they go wholesale trend focused.Why did Patchology stop marketing its science?Because consumers buy results, not mechanisms. Hobson watched women's eyes glaze over at talk of ten times more ingredient delivery, then light up when the patches came off. "Turns out all she cares about is the better results."How long does it take to build a beauty brand?Longer than founders expect, now that ad costs have erased the cheap growth era. "You've got to be prepared to raise 10 to 20 million dollars at least, and spend 10 to 20 years on it. That's the new reality."Why is it harder for indie brands to scale now?The economics of attention changed. "The advertising prices have come up and the ROI has come down, and so it's harder for young brands to make that leap."How should a brand respond to dupes?By owning the category so copies feed demand back to the original. "When a brand copies us, a rising tide lifts all boats." Patchology is up over 20 percent this year.Do dupes steal customers from the original?Within limits set by price and psychology. "They're wearing it and they're knowing in their mind, I'm not really wearing Chanel." Hobson argues most of those consumers come back.Does getting into Target or Walmart grow a beauty brand?Not without demand behind it. "If you don't have the demand generation capability in place to move that product off the shelf... you're out." Accessibility is a high stakes strategy, not a shortcut.What metrics should new beauty founders track?Repeat purchase above all, measured by cohort rather than revenue share. "The way we make money as brands is repeat purchase... if I had to go out and acquire a customer every single time, I'd go out of business."What is the biggest business lesson of his career?People. "You want to hire the A level person, even if they're a little threatening to you, because they're gonna do the job way better than you would ever do it."Listen to the full episode with Chris Hobson of Rare Beauty Brands on Skin Anarchy, available wherever you get your podcasts.Shop Kate Sommerville and PatchologyDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show
In nutrition and health coaching, one of the central challenges is understanding how people actually change, particularly when life is complex, motivation fluctuates, and behaviour is shaped by emotion, identity, environment, and relationships. In this episode, Dr. Krista Scott-Dixon discusses the human skills that underpin effective coaching practice. We discuss the importance of the coach–client relationship, the role of therapeutic alliance, and how concepts from counselling and psychology can be used appropriately within scope of practice. The discussion also explores autonomy-supportive coaching, self-regulation, compassion, acceptance, feedback, and the meta-skills practitioners need in order to improve over time.
