In conversation with Aaron Mupeti   In this episode of Africa Rights Talk, LLM in Human Rights & Democratisation in Africa (HRDA) students at the Expression, Information and Digital Rights (EIDR) clinic, Joshua Duku and Sayid engage with human rights lawyer and disability rights advocate Aaron Mupeti to unpack the challenges and possibilities for disability inclusion in South Africa. Mupeti, a quadriplegic and practicing attorney, draws from his lived experience and professional expertise to explore the meaning of true inclusion, emphasizing the need for people with disabilities to be actively involved in all aspects of society, from policy design to education and employment. He highlights the enduring infrastructural and systemic barriers faced by persons with disabilities, particularly in rural areas, and calls for a shift in societal mindset, from viewing disability through a charitable lens to embracing it as a fundamental human rights issue. The conversation delves into the shortcomings of current policies, particularly the lack of funding, monitoring, and meaningful implementation. Mupeti critiques tokenistic employment schemes and stresses the importance of mainstreaming disability rights in legal education and public discourse. Cultural stigma, inadequate infrastructure, and weak institutional commitment continue to reproduce exclusion, he notes. Yet, he remains hopeful, outlining practical, low-cost steps such as awareness campaigns, better audits, and disability dialogues as vital starting points. Ultimately, the episode is a powerful call to action for a more inclusive, accessible, and equitable society that recognizes disability not as limitation, but as an alternative way of living.   Aaron T Mupeti is a distinguished South African attorney, disability consultant, disability rights advocate, and thought leader in public policy and human rights. Based in Johannesburg, Gauteng, he serves as the Senior Managing Director at Mupeti Attorneys and the Director of Policy and Research at the Africa Disability Initiative on Reproductive Rights (ADIRR). He is also a board member of QuadPara Association of Gauteng South (QAGS).      This conversation was recorded on 19 June 2025.       Youtube: https://youtu.be/MpQFogU6lns Music and news extracts: Inner Peace by Mike Chino https://soundcloud.com/mike-chinoCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...Music promoted by Audio Libraryhttps://youtu.be/0nI6qJeqFcc Limitless https://stock.adobe.com/za/search/audio?k=45259238

Tom Bodrovics introduces Chris Whalen, author of Inflated: Money, Debt, and the American Dream, which has been re-released in a second edition with significant updates. The conversation focuses on the current state of markets, the impact of President Trump's tariff policies, and the challenges posed by the federal debt and inflation. Chris explains that he removed 20,000 words from his original book to make space for a new chapter analyzing the Federal Reserve's management of the money supply under Ben Bernanke, Janet Yellen, and Jerome Powell. He highlights how the U.S. housing market has become heavily government-supported, leading to increased volatility and rising costs for consumers. Discussing inflation, Chris notes that it is driven by the inability of governments to generate sufficient income to meet their people's needs, as seen in countries like Argentina. He argues that borrowing from future income through debt creates distortions, particularly in housing markets, where prices have surged due to low interest rates and government intervention. He also critiques the dysfunctionality of Congress, which he believes is unable to pass budgets or manage spending effectively. Chris emphasizes the importance of gold as a hedge against inflation and expresses skepticism about stablecoins and cryptocurrencies, calling them speculative vehicles rather than reliable alternatives to fiat currency. He suggests that the U.S. dollar's dominance in global markets contributes to inflationary pressures, as other countries benefit from using dollars without bearing the associated costs. The discussion concludes with Chris offering an optimistic outlook, noting that while challenges remain, opportunities exist for investors to navigate inflation through real estate and gold. He encourages listeners to manage investments with a long-term perspective, considering the erosive effects of even low levels of inflation over time.

Morgan, another large client, later made a strategic investment in the company, helping Arcesium further its mission: to power the entire investment lifecycle.Cesar is responsible for Arcesium's data management and investment operations technology and services offered to private markets fund managers and investors. Previously, he served as Senior Managing Director and Alternatives Business Head for North America at State Street — a role in which he drove the growth agenda for a business with approximately $1 trillion in Assets Under Administration by leading new product launches, expansion into new client segments, strategic partnerships, and acquisitions. He served on the board of State Street Fund Services Inc. Prior to that, as a Managing Director at J.P. Morgan, Cesar led the Private Equity & Real Estate Funds Services business from launch to $350B AUA.Cesar and I had a fascinating conversation about the impact of technology and automation on private markets. We discussed:What private markets going mainstream means for pre- and post-investment operations.Why alternative asset managers need to have technology solutions to manage, track, and analyze data and workflows if they want to scale.The biggest challenges that alternative asset managers face as they handle the increase in data management, more funds, and more investors.What technology or workflow solutions are still missing.How much AI will impact technology workflows in private markets.Why ABF has become such an important part of the private credit ecosystem.Thanks Cesar for coming on the show to share your wisdom and experience in private markets.Subscribe to Alt Goes Mainstream to receive the weekly newsletter every Sunday and all of AGM's podcasts.You can also see a recent Q&A with Cesar on AGM here.If you want to learn how Arcesium is delivering the technological infrastructure required to manage the complexities of asset-based financing, you can download their white paper here and read thoughts on the asset-based finance space from Arcesium's Private Markets Head and industry veteran Cesar Estrada.Show Notes00:00 Introduction and Welcome to the Alt Goes Mainstream Podcast00:39 Guest Introduction: Cesar Estrada02:37 Cesar's Background02:57 Cesar's Career Path03:35 Evolution of Fund Services Industry04:49 Arcesium's Core Competencies05:06 Technology in Private Markets05:27 Arcesium's Joint Venture Origins06:12 Technology Architecture07:11 Client-Centric Ownership Model07:18 Building for the Biggest07:46 Solving Complex Problems08:44 Challenges and Solutions in Data Management10:28 Data Silos in Asset Management10:53 Roadblocks to Technology Adoption11:41 Operations and Technology Bottlenecks12:31 Strategic Imperatives for Growth14:20 Hiring and Strategy in Asset Management15:55 Point Solutions vs. End-to-End Solutions17:27 Role of the CTO18:21 Build vs. Buy Decision19:22 Investment Team's Understanding of Technology19:22 The Impact of AI and Future Innovations20:07 Technology's Leverage for Smaller Firms21:36 Consolidation in Private Markets22:22 Technology for Scaling Firms22:40 Flexibility in Private Markets23:05 Technology in Private Credit and ABF25:35 Volume Problem in ABF25:55 Data Ecosystem in ABF27:10 Wealth Channel and Evergreen Products28:04 Product Innovation in Private Markets28:45 Future of Private Markets30:05 Technology Selection Process30:51 User Experience in Technology31:40 Consumer Experience in Private Markets33:06 Hands-On Technology Evaluation33:42 Reducing Operational Headcount34:02 Gen AI in Asset Management35:33 Future Impact of Gen AI36:20 Marrying People and Technology37:01 Next Phase in Asset Management Technology39:16 Cesar's Personal Investment Views40:40 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsEditing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant.

Todd Renner is a seasoned cybersecurity professional with over 25 years of experience leading global cyber investigations, incident response efforts, and digital asset recovery operations. He advises clients on a wide range of cybersecurity and data privacy matters, combining deep technical knowledge with a strategic understanding of risk, compliance, and regulatory frameworks. With a distinguished background at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and National Security Agency (NSA), Mr. Renner has contributed to national security, international cyber collaboration, and has played a key role in mentoring the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. In this episode… The rising complexity of cyber threats continues to test how businesses prepare, respond, and recover. Sophisticated threat actors are exploiting these vulnerabilities of private companies and leveraging AI tools to accelerate their attacks. Despite these dangers, many organizations hesitate to involve law enforcement when a cyber event occurs. This hesitation often stems from misconceptions about what law enforcement involvement entails, including fears of losing control over their systems or exposing sensitive company information. As a result, companies may prioritize quickly restoring operations over pursuing retribution from the attackers, leaving critical security gaps unaddressed. Collaborating with law enforcement doesn't mean forfeiting control or exposing confidential data unnecessarily. Investigations often reveal repeated issues, including mobile device compromises, missing multifactor authentication, and failing to improve cybersecurity measures after a breach. To be better prepared, companies need to develop and practice incident response plans, ensure leadership remains involved, and build security programs that evolve beyond incident response. And, as threat actors actively use AI to accelerate data aggregation and create convincing deepfakes, companies need to start thinking about how to better detect these threats. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels speak with Todd Renner, Senior Managing Director at FTI Consulting, about how organizations are responding to modern cyber threats and where many still fall short. Todd shares why companies hesitate to engage law enforcement, how threat actors are using AI for faster targeting and impersonation, and why many businesses fail to strengthen their cybersecurity programs after a breach. He also discusses why deepfakes are eroding trust and raising new challenges for companies, and he provides practical tips for keeping both organizations and families safe from evolving threats.

He has moved quickly to appoint cabinet members, agency heads and others who share his vision for the United States. He has also appointed individuals to advise him and his administration on a range of issues (e.g., energy, border, crypto and AI czars) and created a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to make recommendations to the White House on ways to make government more efficient. Given these developments and what the president has said about his plans, which are the potential industry winners and losers and how might CEOs prepare for the administration based on this evolving information? Discussion topics include:Industries likely to be most impacted favorably and unfavorablyThe potential for increased mergers and acquisition activityThe impact of U.S. policy on non-US domiciled companiesThe outlook for AISpeakers:Carol Beaumier, Senior Managing Director, Global Leader for Thought Leadership, ProtivitiMichael Brauneis, Executive Vice President, Global Industry & Client Programs, Global Financial Services Industry Leader, ProtivitiJonathan Wyatt, Managing Director, Protiviti Europe Regional Market LeaderRob Gould, Managing Director and Global Private Equity and Transaction Services Practice Lead, ProtivitiChristine Livingston, Managing Director – Global AI Leader, Protiviti
