The White House considers taking a 10% stake in the chip maker, after Donald Trump meets with Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, shortly after he demanded Tan's immediate resignation. Is this another example of MAGA corporate statism, along with Trump's "golden share" on the Nippon-U.S. Steel deal, his "export tax" on AI chips, and his talk of a sovereign-wealth fund?

Since January 2025, the National Labor Relations Board has had only two sitting members—one less than necessary for a quorum. When it lacks a quorum, the Board can’t do things like resolve alleged unfair labor practices or rule on election-related objections. Seeing a policy gap, some states are moving to fill it. California, New York, and Massachusetts are all considering legislation that would transfer at least some of the inactive Board’s duties to state agencies. These bills have sparked a controversy about federal preemption and the role of states in regulating labor relations. Our panelists will flesh out the debates and explain where the debate is likely to go in the coming months.Featuring:Alexander T. MacDonald, Shareholder & Co-Chair of the Workplace Policy Institute, Littler Mendelson P.C.Prof. Benjamin I. Sachs, Kestnbaum Professor of Labor and Industry, Harvard Law School(Moderator) G.

Helium One Global Ltd (AIM:HE1, OTCQB:HLOGF) CEO Lorna Blaisse talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest progress at the Southern Rukwa Helium Project, following the official award of a mining licence (ML) for the site. Blaisse confirmed the ML marks a shift from prospecting into the development phase, following the helium discovery at Itumbula. “It's certainly very good news for us… it now enables us to move away from the prospecting phase and move more formally into that all-important development phase of the project,” she said. Initial development work will include the deployment of an Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) to bring helium in solution to surface using artificial lift. Blaisse said the operation is expected to support the conversion of contingent resources into bookable reserves, critical for project financing. Planning for the ESP operation is underway and, once fundraising is complete, long lead items will be ordered for a Q4 2025 start. Part of the funds will also support work in the US, where Helium One has completed six development wells under its joint venture with Blue Star. Blaisse also discussed future plans, including nine additional wells at the Galactica development and potential activity at the adjacent Pegasus Field. The current fundraise aims to involve three new investors introduced by Marex Financial. Shareholder approval at the upcoming 5 August meeting will determine whether the structure proceeds with wider participation or defaults to a cash box arrangement. Looking ahead, the company aims to commence ESP operations in Tanzania, complete front-end engineering design work for the processing plant, and bring its US project into production later in 2025.

On today's episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley chats with attorney and athlete Lea Anne Groover as she shares her journey and the tangible habits for law firm growth that challenge what's possible at any age, in any career, and at any stage of life. Lea Anne's journey wasn't about grand gestures or overnight success. It began with a small, intentional act, writing the word “move” in the habit-building section of her My Great Life Focus, a tool provided by her Atticus Advisor, Teresa Morgan. For Lea Anne, “move” meant getting on her Peloton for 20 minutes a day. It was a modest goal, rooted in a desire to reclaim her health after years of stress, caregiving, and the loss of her mother in 2019. Little did she know that this single word would ignite a cascade of extraordinary outcomes. What followed is a powerful example of how small, consistent habits can lead to life-changing results. Within just one year, Lea Anne's commitment to her daily habit and Atticus's coaching yielded results that would inspire anyone: Practice Growth: Her firm's revenue increased by 30%, and her net income tripled. Website traffic doubled, driven by a surge in referrals and client engagement. Clarity and Focus: Lea Anne describes her mental clarity and focus as improving “tenfold.” The My Great Life Focus helped her prioritize tasks, navigate running a solo practice, and focus on high-impact activities. Health Transformation: Lea Anne lost over 60 pounds, reduced her cholesterol from 200 to 130, and lowered her resting heart rate from 66 to 46. A routine heart scan revealed she was in the 90th percentile for calcium buildup; a potential health crisis averted by her commitment to exercise. Her cardiologist became her biggest cheerleader, noting that her strong heart was key to her vitality. Athletic Triumph: Lea Anne's journey culminated in qualifying for Team USA and competing in the World Championship triathlon in Pontevedra, Spain, in June 2025. At age 60, she tackled a grueling race that included a 1.8-mile swim, a 75-mile bike ride, and an 18.5-mile run. Though rough ocean conditions prevented her from finishing the swim, her journey to that starting line was a victory in itself. What also stands out is how Lea Anne used this personal journey as a powerful marketing tool. When she started working with Mark Powers encouraged Lea Anne to start sharing her triathlon training journey through a weekly newsletter. These emails weren't about trusts, wills, or legal services. Instead, they were lighthearted, humorous, and deeply personal, chronicling her trials, triumphs, and even the occasional wacky mishap on her path to Spain. The response was immediate and genuine. Clients, colleagues, and even strangers followed her journey, cheering her on and sharing her story. Her weekly updates made her more than just an attorney, they made her relatable. By leading with authenticity, Lea Anne built trust and connection, turning a personal habit into a powerful marketing tool. Her story is proof that lawyers don't need to talk about legal services to grow their brand. Authenticity, consistently shared, can be one of the most effective habits for law firm growth. Lea Anne's story isn't just a remarkable journey about competing in a triathlon. She won the race to a better life and a thriving practice. She's proof that with courage, coaching, and commitment, you can too. In this episode, you will hear: Lea Anne Groover's journey from finance, to a legal career to becoming a world champion triathlete at age 60  The transformative power of small, consistent habits, inspired by the “My Great Life Focuser”  The role of Atticus in Lea Anne's personal and professional growth  Lea Anne's dramatic weight loss and health improvements, leading to her qualification for Team USA  The impact of increased focus and clarity on her legal practice, boosting her income and client referrals  The effectiveness of sharing personal stories as a unique marketing tool  Embracing growth, trust, and action to redefine success in both fitness and law Stay Connected & Show Your Support: Never miss an episode—subscribe to Great Practice, Great Life!  ⭐Like what you hear?

This week: when lawyers derail deals, a high-stakes bridge loan, and a closing that crashed at the finish line.Lesson Learned of the Week Lawyers are there to protect the deal - not make it. Use them to paper what's been agreed, not to run point. And definitely not to negotiate on your behalf. Especially not litigators. There are exceptions, sure – but, as a rule, deals should be made by business leaders.Interesting File of the Week We're placing a $15M bridge loan for a Canadian oil and gas group, backed by $750M+ in assets. First secured position carved out in an interesting structure, default remedies are pre-negotiated, referral fee of $150K. Plus: $1B in tax losses we're looking to unlock.Struggles of the Week Continuing the story of the real estate deal drama. Buyer sends legal letters right before closing claiming they expected assets to be left in the building, despite having no right to the assets. Buyer fails to close and instead “extends” closing without consent.  Says they're suing. Never hear from the business people, only the lawyer. Total mess.Musings Entrepreneurs wear different hats, such as shareholder, director, officer, employee, lender. Each has unique rights and obligations. If you're lending to your own company, document it like you would for a stranger. Shareholder loans are real loans - or they're worthless in a fight.The Inner Circle – Deals & Capital Live, private Zoom community for dealmakers working through real problems, sharing tactics, and raising capital.

Johan du Preez is a seasoned South African entrepreneur and investor, and the Founder of SAAD Investment Holdings and the Tree of Life Foundation. Johan began his career path as a pharmacist in his early twenties and spent many years managing pharmacies that needed major turnaround. He then became the CEO of a large healthcare organization before the Spirit led him to start his investment company with a focus on impacting the Kingdom of God.   Johan brings a unique perspective as a faith-driven leader who channels private equity investment returns into longterm, sustainable generosity through an investment firm contained within a charitable foundation. From leading major corporate turnarounds to pioneering innovative giving platforms in South Africa, Johan's life and work exemplify the intersection of strategic investing and radical generosity.   Major topics include: Johan's early life and faith background How becoming a pharmacist laid the foundations for what he does today Integrating faith into business and money management Strategically operating from the spirit realm in money and business Realizing that money can help build God's kingdom The story of SAAD and the Tree of Life Foundation What it looks like to let God own your business Transitioning from health care insurance to financial services  The difference between working with God and letting God work through you Taking risks in Kingdom business Depending on God when you don't know what you're doing Investments that make an impact through business Weighing “return first” and “impact first” investing Using charitable capital through a donor advised fund The beauty of collective giving Thinking through investing versus giving How to leverage all that you have to be a part of what God's doing QUOTES TO REMEMBER “There's only one way to be strategic, that is to operate in the spiritual realm. Otherwise, you are just reactive and tactical.” “The eternal perspective is ultimately the one that saves you.” “For God to work through you, you have to be dead.” “When you involve God in your business and make it His business and say, ‘I'm just here to work for You,' then you actually complicate it to a large extent because you had better make sure that you know what the Shareholder wants.” “God is more interested in the character of the individuals that are involved in the company than about the results at the end of the day.” “We are called to take risks for the Kingdom.” “The best decisions I've ever made were based on what I did not know.” “Collaboration is everyone exchanging their personal dreams for one larger dream.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW SAAD Investment Holdings Tree of Life Foundation National Christian Foundation (see our interview with President Emeritus, David Wills) Trustbridge Global (see our interview with Executive VP, Paul Bolte here) The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group   WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

Administrative law is in flux, nowhere more so than at the National Labor Relations Board. The Board has long made labor law (or “policy”) by issuing decisions and applying its own precedent. But in a recent oral argument at the Seventh Circuit, one member of the panel suggested that he didn’t want to hear about “Board law.” The judges, he said, could read the statute for themselves. That statement was controversial and thought-provoking. After last term’s blockbuster decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, courts are no longer supposed to defer to administrative agencies on legal questions. So does that mean Board law is dead? Or is the issue more complicated? Join our panelists as we dissect the issue.Featuring:Prof. Samuel Estreicher, Dwight D. Opperman Professor of Law Director, Center for Labor and Employment Law Co-Director, Institute of Judicial Administration, NYU School of LawAlexander T.

In this episode, the gang kicks off with Canada Day banter, praising poutine and noting its July 1 celebration. The trio plans to rock RecFest UK in Knebworth, with J.T. plotting to heckle the boys. The core discussion dives into Indeed's aggressive moves to dominate hiring, forcing agencies to adopt APIs and share disposition data, reminiscent of old newspaper models, per Jim Durbin's insights. Chad critiques Recruit Holdings' push for a unified “HR matching market,” warning it's a dated cost-per-hire approach doomed to fail, like Monster's struggles. The rise of AI agents, like Jobright's ($3.2M funding) and Wisq's ($15M), sparks debate—Joel sees them revolutionizing job searches, while Chad fears “AI catfishing” inflating candidate profiles. Tech layoffs hit hard, with 22,000 cuts in 2025 (e.g., Bumble, Intel), impacting HR's talent strategies and exacerbating infinite workday risks. J.T. highlights job seekers' demand for reverse recruiting. And Ford's CEO raising wages to retain workers underscores HR's need for competitive pay to curb gig work reliance.

Fred Bell, CEO of Elemental Altus Royalties (TSX.V:ELE) (OTCQX:ELEMF), joins me to unpack the transformative news announced on June 12th, where Tether Investments has just positioned as their largest strategic shareholder and cornerstone investor.  We discuss what this deal means for the precious metals and royalty sector where a crypto company can deploy such large sums of capital, and more importantly what it means for future deal flow and acquisitions for Elemental Altus Royalties.   Tether completed the acquisition of 78,421,780 common shares of Elemental Altus from La Mancha Investments S.a.r.l. at a price of C$1.55 per share, representing approximately 31.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares. When combined with the 4,360,511 shares already owned by Tether, Tether will now own an aggregate of 82,782,291 common shares, representing approximately 33.7% of the issued and outstanding shares in the Company.   Tether has further announced that it has entered into an option agreement with AlphaStream Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiary Alpha 1 SPV Limited pursuant to which Alpha 1 granted Tether the option to acquire, subject to certain conditions, an aggregate of 34,444,580 common shares owned by Alpha 1. On exercise of this option, Tether would own 117,226,871 common shares, representing approximately 47.7% of the issued and outstanding common shares.   We also touched on the news out on June 24th where Gleason & Sons LLC announced it had acquired nearly one million common shares of Elemental Altus Royalties via ongoing open market purchases. The rationale from Stefan Gleason was that the Company has paid off all debt, booked its most profitable quarter ever in Q1, and streamlined its governance structure.   Fred and I discussed the rationale behind Tether positioning both dollars and gold in their 2 stablecoins, and that Elemental Altus was them positioning using their Teather Investments vehicle for longer-term appreciation, and that they were very keen on the lower risks and high revenue per employee ratio of royalty companies for acquiring more exposure to future gold equivalent ounces of production.  The mandate that they reiterated to the management team of Element Altus Royalties was to keep growing the business in a responsible and efficient manner.   We spent the balance of the discussion talking about what this means for future deal flow and acquisitions.  Fred highlighted the size and scale of potential future deals with their already strong balance sheet, cash on hand and free cashflow generation on tap for this year, and their revolving credit facility, giving them upwards of $80 million in funding for deals moving forward; before Tether even got involved.     If you have any follow up questions for Fred regarding Elemental Altus Royalties, then please email them to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Elemental Altus Royalties at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to view recent news on the Elemental Altus Royalties website

Shortly after taking office, President Trump reportedly removed two Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) commissioners and the general counsel. While this has effectively left the five-member Commission without a quorum, some legal experts have questioned the limits of presidential power to remove officials from agencies like the EEOC. Now operating under Acting Chair Andrea Lucas, the EEOC has shifted its priorities and taken actions in response to President Trump's executive orders. New priorities include removing gender ideology, protecting women, addressing anti-American bias, and combatting antisemitism in the workplace. The EEOC moved to dismiss several EEOC-initiated claims and lawsuits, alleging discrimination based on gender identity. Acting Chair Lucas sent letters to top law firms requesting information about their DEI-related employment practice.What are the limits of presidential power over agencies such as the EEOC? What would a lack of quorum mean practically for the Commission, employees and employers, as well as the new direction of the EEOC in the Trump Era? In this webinar, employment law experts will address these questions and more.Featuring:Bradford J. Kelley, Shareholder, LittlerRyan H.

Anson Frericks, a former president at Anheuser-Busch-formerly the home of America's most popular brewery-watched as the company unraveled at the hands of globe-trotting financiers and progressive middle management. In LAST CALL FOR BUD LIGHT: The Fall and Future of America's Favorite Beer (Threshold Editions hardcover; February 4, 2025), Frericks reveals that rather than pursue shareholder profits, Anheuser-Busch suddenly became focused on stakeholder capitalism and the vague mandates of environment, social, and governance (ESG). This ill-advised change culminated in the shocking evaporation of $30 billion in market cap after releasing an advertising campaign starring political activist Dylan Mulvaney. Now, Anheuser-Busch's evolution and its subsequent fallout is brought to light as never before with this ultimate insider's look.

What makes a company good—and who gets to decide? Economist Lenore Palladino joins Nick and Goldy to dismantle the myth of shareholder primacy and explain how our current system of corporate governance has warped innovation, deepened inequality, and undermined democracy. Drawing from her new book Good Company: Economic Policy after Shareholder Primacy, Palladino outlines a bold vision for how we can redesign the rules of the game—so corporations serve workers, communities, and the public good, not just wealthy shareholders. Lenore Palladino is an assistant professor of economics and public policy at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, a senior fellow of the Roosevelt Institute, and a research associate at the Political Economy Research Institute.

In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, Steve Riley explores time management and focus strategies with Shawn McNalis, an Atticus Practice Advisor and trainer with over 30 years of experience. Together, they uncover the most common time traps that prevent attorneys from reaching their full potential. They also share proven strategies for defending strategic time blocks and establishing boundaries that support professional growth. Shawn brings her wealth of knowledge from coaching thousands of lawyers and co-authoring pivotal books on time management and performance. Steve and Shawn delve into the “time starvation trap”—a common pitfall where attorneys confuse busyness with true productivity. Through the lens of The Habit Shift workshop, they reveal how ineffective time habits often go unnoticed until they become overwhelming. They share the story of Jordan, a family law attorney who used time management tools to reclaim her schedule. By protecting strategic time blocks and focusing on high-value work, Jordan boosted client development and significantly reduced stress. In another example, solo practitioner Taylor learned to combat overwork by delegating tasks, avoiding overcommitment, and conducting focused time audits. These changes gave her the bandwidth to think strategically and grow her firm. Shawn also discusses how the relentless pace of law school often carries into professional life, encouraging constant hustle over smart planning. Steve and Shawn lay out a practical roadmap for setting boundaries that promote both success and sanity. They highlight the value of time audits, client selection, and protecting strategic time like your business depends on it. Because it does! Whether you're a new attorney or a seasoned professional, this episode offers actionable strategies to improve your focus, reclaim your time, and transform both your practice and your life.

Interview withNick Earner, MD of Alkane ResourcesFrazer Bourchier, President & CEO of Mandalay ResourcesRecording date: 19th May 2025Alkane Resources (ASX:ALK) and Mandalay Resources (TSX:MND) have announced a strategic "merger of equals" that will create a significant mid-tier gold producer. The all-share transaction values Mandalay at A$559.1 million ($357.8 million), with Mandalay shareholders receiving 55% ownership of the combined entity and Alkane shareholders retaining 45%.The merged company will operate under the Alkane Resources name, trading on both the ASX and TSX exchanges. It will maintain a diversified portfolio of three producing mines - Tomingley (Australia), Costerfield (Australia), and Björkdal (Sweden) - with an anticipated annual production of 160,000-180,000 gold equivalent ounces.Financial projections for the combined entity are robust, including over $100 million USD in cash, zero debt, and approximately $200 million USD in annual free cash flow. This represents a cash flow multiple of approximately 3:1, compared to the industry standard of 4-5x EBITDA."This company will have over $100 million US in net cash positive with no debt," noted Frazer Bourchier, President and CEO of Mandalay Resources, highlighting the strong financial foundation of the merger.A key strategic rationale for the combination is achieving "capital relevance" through a pro-forma market capitalization of approximately $650 million USD. This scale should qualify the company for inclusion in both the ASX 300 index and the GDXJ (VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF), potentially attracting institutional investors previously unable to invest due to size limitations.The merger has received unanimous board approval from both companies and secured voting support agreements from key shareholders. Shareholder votes are expected in June 2025, with transaction closing anticipated by August 2025.The combined entity will pursue a disciplined capital allocation strategy focused on organic exploration, M&A opportunities, and potential shareholder returns, operating with a philosophy of empowered site-level leadership and minimal corporate oversight.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

"To read Jeff Bezos's shareholder letters is to get a crash course in running a high-growth internet business from someone who mastered it before any of the playbooks were written." That is the best description of Bezos's letters I have ever read. I just finished rereading these letters for the 4th or 5th time. With clear thinking and ferocious intelligence, Bezos provides a masterclass in building a customer-obsessed, enduring franchise. With relentless repetition Bezos teaches us about the importance of invention, risk-taking, wandering, differentiation, technology, judgement, high-standards, customer obsession, long-term orientation, and why value trumps everything. Read the letters on Amazon's website here.Or in the book Invent and Wander: The Collected Writings of Jeff BezosRegister for the live event in New York at Ramp! Ramp gives you everything you need to control spend, watch your costs, and optimize your financial operations —all on a single platform. Make history's greatest entrepreneurs proud by going to Ramp and learning how they can help your business control your costs and save time and money.Join my free email newsletter to get my top 10 highlights from every book( 15:00 ) Setting the bar high in our approach to hiring has been, and will continue to be, the single most important element of Amazon success. It's not easy to work here but we are working to build something important, something that matters to our customers, something that we can all tell our grandchildren about. Such things aren't meant to be easy.( 24:00 ) We believe we have reached a "tipping point," where this platform allows us to launch new ecommerce businesses faster, with a higher quality of customer experience, a lower incremental cost, a higher chance of success, and a faster path to scale and profitability than any other company.( 27:00 ) We will continue to invest heavily in introductions to new customers. Though it's sometimes hard to imagine with all that has happened in the last five years, this remains Day 1 for ecommerce, and these are the early days of category formation where many customers are forming relationships for the first time. We must work hard to grow the number of customers who shop with us.( 37:00 ) Focus on cost improvement makes it possible for us to afford to lower prices, which drives growth. Growth spreads fixed costs across more sales, reducing cost per unit, which makes possible more price reductions. Customers like this, and it's good for shareholders. Please expect us to repeat this loop.( 47:00 ) Our quantitative understanding of elasticity is short-term. We can estimate what a price reduction will do this week and this quarter. But we cannot numerically estimate the effect that consistently lowering prices will have on our business over five years or ten years or more. Our judgment is that relentlessly returning efficiency improvements and scale economies to customers in the form of lower prices creates a virtuous cycle that leads over the long term to a much larger dollar amount of free cash flow, and thereby to a much more valuable Amazon.( 55:00 ) Our fundamental approach remains the same. Stay heads down, focused on the long term and obsessed over customers. Long-term thinking levers our existing abilities and lets us do new things we couldn't otherwise contemplate. Seek instant gratification and chances are you'll find a crowd there ahead of you. ( 56:00 ) Long-term orientation interacts well with customer obsession. If we can identify a customer need and if we can further develop conviction that that need is meaningful and durable, our approach permits us to work patiently for multiple years to deliver a solution.( 59:00 ) Invention is in our DNA and technology is the fundamental tool we wield to evolve and improve every aspect of the experience we provide our customers.( 1:00:00 ) A dreamy business offering has at least four characteristics. Customers love it, it can grow to very large size, it has strong returns on capital, and it's durable in time-with the potential to endure for decades. When you find one of these get married.( 1:02:00 ) We all know that if you swing for the fences, you're going to strike out a lot, but you're also going to hit some home runs. The difference between baseball and business, however, is that baseball has a truncated outcome distribution. When you swing, no matter how well you connect with the ball, the most runs you can get is four. In business, every once in a while, when you step up to the plate, you can score one thousand runs. This long-tailed distribution of returns is why it's important to be bold. Big winners pay for so many experiments.( 1:10:00) When a memo isn't great, it's not the writer's inability to recognize the high standard, but instead a wrong expectation on scope: they mistakenly believe a high standards, six-page memo can be written in one or two days or even a few hours, when really it might take a week or more! They're trying to perfect a handstand in just two weeks, and we're not coaching them right. The great memos are written and re-written, shared with colleagues who are asked to improve the work, set aside for a couple of days, and then edited again with a fresh mind. They simply can't be done in a day or two. The key point here is that you can improve results through the simple act of teaching scope-that a great memo probably should take a week or more.( 1:12:00 ) Sometimes (often actually) in business, you do know where you're going, and when you do, you can be efficient. Put in place a plan and execute. In contrast, wandering in business is not efficient-but it's also not random. It's guided-by hunch, gut, intuition, curiosity, and powered by a deep conviction that the prize for customers is big enough that it's worth being a little messy and tangential to find our way there. Wandering is an essential counterbalance to efficiency. You need to employ both. The outsized discoveries-the "nonlinear" ones-are highly likely to require wandering. ----Founders Notes gives you the ability to tap into the collective knowledge of history's greatest entrepreneurs on demand.

It may have come as a surprise to those of us in attendance at the Berkshire Hathaway meeting in Omaha this Saturday, but Warren Buffett gracefully said he'll be stepping aside as CEO at the end of the year, ending the greatest 60-year run in business history. The 94-year old paved the way for his successor, Greg Abel, but reassured investors and the Berkshire faithful that he'll be hanging around to provide his infinite wisdom to the new leadership team, and to the rest of us. Listen to Warren's enduring words of wisdom, and to his faithful investors and students who are on the lifelong investing journey with him.

Justin Daniels is a corporate attorney who advises domestic and international companies on business growth, M&A, and technology transactions, with over $2 billion in closed deals. He helps clients navigate complex issues involving data privacy, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies like AI, autonomous vehicles, blockchain, and fintech. Justin partners with C-suites and boards to manage cybersecurity as a strategic enterprise risk and leads breach response efforts across industries such as healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing.  A frequent keynote speaker and media contributor, Justin has presented at top events including the RSA Conference, covering topics like cybersecurity in M&A, AI risk, and the intersection of privacy and innovation. Together, Jodi and Justin host the top ranked She Said Privacy / He Said Security Podcast and are authors of WSJ best-selling book, Data Reimagined: Building Trust One Byte at a Time. In this episode… From a major privacy summit to a regional AI event, experts across sectors are emphasizing that regulatory scrutiny is intensifying while AI capabilities and risks are accelerating. State privacy regulators are coordinating enforcement efforts, actively monitoring how companies handle privacy rights requests and whether cookie consent platforms work as they should. At the same time, AI tools are advancing rapidly with limited regulatory oversight, raising serious ethical and societal concerns. What practical lessons can businesses take from IAPP's 2025 Global Privacy Summit and Atlanta's AI Week to strengthen compliance, reduce risk, and prepare for what's ahead? At the 2025 IAPP Global Privacy Summit, a major theme emerged: state privacy regulators are collaborating on enforcement more closely than ever before. When it comes to honoring privacy rights, this collaboration spans early inquiry stages through active enforcement, making it critical for businesses to establish, regularly test, and monitor their privacy rights processes. It also means that companies need to audit cookie consent platforms regularly, ensure compliance with universal opt-out signals like the Global Privacy Control, and align privacy notices with actual practices. Regulatory enforcement advisories and FAQs should be treated as essential readings to stay current on regulators' priorities. Likewise at the inaugural Atlanta AI Week, national security and ethical concerns came into sharper focus. Despite promises of localized data storage, some social media platforms and apps continue to raise alarms over foreign governments' potential access to personal data. While experts encourage experimentation and practical application of AI tools, they are also urging businesses to remain vigilant to threats such as deepfakes, AI-driven misinformation, and the broader societal implications of unchecked AI development. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi Daniels, Founder and CEO of Red Clover Advisors, and Justin Daniels, Shareholder and Corporate Attorney at Baker Donelson, share their top takeaways from the IAPP Global Privacy Summit 2025 and the inaugural Atlanta AI Week. Jodi highlights practical steps for improving privacy rights request handling, the importance of regularly testing cookie consent management platforms, and ensuring published privacy notices reflect actual practices. Justin discusses the ethical challenges surrounding AI's rapid growth, the national security risks tied to social media platforms, and the dangers posed by deepfake technology. Together, Jodi and Justin emphasize the importance of continuous education, collaboration, and proactive action to prepare businesses for the future of privacy and AI.

In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, we flip the script and put thought leader Steve Riley in the guest seat to answer a powerful question: What does it really take to start or grow a law practice in 2025 while staying true to your vision, your values, and your well-being? Guest host Glenn Gutek and Steve explore the dynamic and ever-evolving landscape of the legal profession, discussing how rapid changes in technology, politics, and economics contribute to the anxiety and stress attorneys face today. Steve shares insights on how lawyers can maintain a healthy balance between their professional commitments and personal well-being. He emphasizes the importance of navigating these challenges while maintaining a clear vision. Glenn and Steve's conversation also explores the role of vision protection in achieving greatness. It's easy to lose sight of one's aspirations amidst the daily grind, but they emphasize the importance of nurturing one's vision and legacy through strategic action. The fast-paced world, full of social media distractions, requires focused attention and control over where we direct our energy. Steve addresses the detrimental effects of “hurry sickness.” He stresses the importance of pursuing meaningful visions, encouraging attorneys not to settle for mediocrity and to maintain high standards in both their personal and professional lives. As we navigate the influence of AI on the legal profession, we discuss its impact on traditional business models and billing practices. AI offers efficiencies that challenge the billable hour model, compelling law firms to reassess how they provide value to clients. Steve discusses the trend toward hyper-niching, where attorneys can specialize in highly specific subspecialties, enhancing their practice with AI-driven tools. This episode provides invaluable guidance for lawyers seeking to adapt and thrive amidst the changing legal landscape, making it a must-listen for anyone invested in the future of legal practice.

In this episode, Deepak and Shray unpack the ins and outs of international investing—why it matters, when it makes sense, and who it's really for. From rupee depreciation to political and geographical risks, they explore the key reasons to diversify your portfolio beyond India's borders. They also discuss a crucial question: At what level of capital does it become meaningful to place your money outside? The conversation weaves in perspectives from investing greats—Peter Lynch, who believed in the power of consumer insight, and Devina Mehra, whose latest book "Money Myths and Mantras" emphasizes global allocation as a must-have strategy. With fresh data on market returns (both in INR and local currency terms), the duo breaks down how different regions have performed—why Europe and China have struggled, and how the US tech boom, largely driven by the Nasdaq, has outshone the rest. But can the US continue to dominate, especially in light of Fed Chairman Powell's recent remarks on tariffs? They also touch upon an important side of global investing: taxation. From the complexities of capital gains to the lesser-known estate tax, and how investment vehicles like UCITS can help navigate these issues.
