Jenny wraps up our celebration of Women's History Month joined by a very special guest co-host, Kingston's own challah-baking good-time girl Ellen Leifer, for a conversation with Rabbi Sivan Rotholz about the importance of seeing yourself mirrored back to you in spaces of worship and learning; the most bad-ass women you've never heard of in Biblical history (and how they were demonized - sometimes literally - for not being compliant); how centering the experiences of women isn't just for women; and what everyone can learn from Judaism about the importance of community-building and resilience to combat the epidemic of loneliness.

In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers talks with Sivan Iram from Flow Specialty. They discuss Flow Specialty's innovative approach to using AI in insurance to enhance wholesale relationships, improve underwriting response times, and reduce operational friction for agents. Flow Specialty combines human expertise with AI-driven tools to speed up quote turnaround and improve accuracy without requiring agents to use portals. Sivan highlights that Flow's AI is an internal tool supporting brokers rather than replacing them, positioning the company as a "caddy" for agents. Flow's AI manages various tasks, such as analyzing quotes, market insights, and carrier communications. This combination allows agents to handle complex insurance transactions efficiently and frees up time to focus on larger accounts. Key Points: Introduction to Sivan Iram and Flow David Carothers introduces Sivan Iram from Flow, highlighting producer challenges with traditional wholesalers. Sivan shares his transition from software to innovating traditional industries. Founded three and a half years ago, Flow provides enterprise-level service to mid-market and small commercial spaces, addressing inefficiencies like slow responses and lack of expertise through AI.     Flow's Approach to Wholesale Efficiency   Flow uses algorithmic underwriting and API integrations for faster turnaround. Acting as a "quarterback," Flow manages submissions and automates tasks traditionally done by retailers. Unlike wholesalers, Flow takes full ownership of the process.     User Experience with Flow   Sivan explains Flow's AI agents offer speed, expertise, and tailored insights for brokers. These agents analyze quotes, compare options, and communicate with carriers, enhancing brokers' work without replacing them.     Addressing AI Concerns   David compares AI to a golf caddy, supporting rather than replacing people. Sivan agrees, noting that Flow reduces portal fatigue while keeping human oversight. Agents appreciate AI's ability to deliver faster, better service without compromising expertise.     Growth and Future of Flow   Flow is growing rapidly, tripling revenue monthly and signing 60+ agencies. With a strong carrier network and investments in technology, Flow balances human expertise with AI-driven insights, providing unmatched market value.     Conclusion and Call to Action   David encourages listeners to try Flow and highlights its potential to transform wholesale markets. Sivan provides contact information and reassures agencies about the ease of working with Flow. Both express excitement for Flow's future.   Connect with: David Carothers LinkedIn Sivan Iram LinkedIn Kyle Houck LinkedIn Visit Websites: Power Producer Base Camp Killing Commercial Flow Crushing Content Power Producers Podcast Policytee The Dirty 130 The Extra 2 Minutes

Flow is revolutionizing commercial insurance wholesaling through AI-powered operations, focusing on bringing enterprise-grade service to small and mid-market accounts. With $20.6M in funding, Flow has developed a system of AI agents that help brokers streamline every step of the insurance placement process, from submission structuring to policy analysis and comparisons. Topics Discussed: Flow's evolution from a platform-based solution to an AI-enhanced email-first approach The critical role of wholesale brokers in commercial insurance Challenges and opportunities in serving small and mid-market accounts How AI technology enables superior service delivery in insurance The importance of human expertise alongside technological innovation Marketing strategies in B2B insurance technology GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Listen to how customers want to work: Flow initially built a platform requiring users to log in, but discovered clients preferred email. Rather than forcing behavior change, they adapted their solution to work within existing workflows while adding AI-powered efficiency behind the scenes. Focus on underserved segments: By targeting small and mid-market accounts that traditional wholesalers found unprofitable, Flow created a compelling value proposition. Their AI-driven approach made these segments economically viable while delivering superior service. Product-market fit requires deep industry understanding: Despite having a working product and paying customers, Flow didn't achieve true product-market fit until they understood the fundamental role of expertise and guidance in wholesale insurance.

In the meantime, enjoy an earlier interview with Sivan Rahav-Meir.Israel's fight against Hamas, Sivan Rahav-Meir says, is preventing another Oct. 7—and another Sept. 11.The Israeli religious journalist — voted Israel's most popular media personality — grew up secular and part of the Israel left's “Peace Now” movement, but she's not quite there anymore.Now a journalist for Israel TV news, a columnist for Yediot Aharonot newspaper, and host of a weekly radio show on the Army Radio, Sivan is a leading figure in Israeli society more broadly — and the religious society specifically.A 2017 Forward profile described her as “a female sort of Hasidic grand rabbi” because of the thousands flocking to her Torah lectures. She sends a Jewish insight each day to tens of thousands of WhatsApp subscribers The Daily Thought. Now, she sits down with us to answer 18 questions on Israel, including Israel's battle against terrorism, living in Messianic times, that time she interviewed Yitzchak Rabin, and so much more.This interview was held on July 4.Here are our 18 questions:As an Israeli, and as a Jew, how are you feeling at this moment in Israeli history?What has been Israel's greatest success and greatest mistake in its war against Hamas?How have your religious views changed since Oct. 7? What do you look for in deciding which Knesset party to vote for?Which is more important for Israel: Judaism or democracy?Should Israel treat its Jewish and non-Jewish citizens the same?Now that Israel already exists, what is the purpose of Zionism?Is opposing Zionism inherently antisemitic?Should Israel be a religious state?If you were making the case for Israel, where would you begin?Should all Israelis serve in the army?Can questioning the actions of Israel's government and army — even in the context of this war — be a valid form of love and patriotism?What do you think is the most legitimate criticism leveled against Israel today?Do you think the State of Israel is part of the final redemption?Is Messianism helpful or harmful to Israel?Do you think peace between Israelis and Palestinians will happen within your lifetime?Where do you identify on Israel's political and religious spectrum, and do you have friends on the “other side”?Do you have more hope or fear for Israel and the Jewish People?

Why do American voters support divisive misinformation? That's the question driving our guests' latest research, and the focus of today's episode.Minjae Kim and Ezra Zuckerman Sivan are experts in sociology, and organizational behavior. In this episode, they dive into their latest collaboration, exploring moral flexibility and why some voters are drawn to divisive misinformation. Their new study, When Truth Trumps Facts: Studies on Partisan Moral Flexibility in American Politics, will be published in the American Journal of Sociology.Minjae is an Assistant Professor of Management at Rice Business and Ezra is the Alvin J. Siteman Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at MIT Sloan. Together, they sit down with host Maya Pomroy '22 to unpack their findings. Listen as they discuss how personal truths can override objective facts and why misinformation often resonates so strongly with voters.Episode Guide: 01:40 Motivation to Pursue this Study on Moral Flexibility02:30 The Puzzle of Authenticity05:36 Insights From Their First Study Together11:43 Current Study Overview16:06 Truth vs. Fact34:30 Historical Context and Examples39:31 Minjae's Future Research Owl Have You Know is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:A hope for more reflective politics38:42 [Maya]: What are your hopes of what your study... how it will help our society?38:49 [Ezra Zuckerman Sivan]: I hope it gets at least some self-reflection, that people are realizing that they're using different standards for themselves and for others. And actually, one of the things I hope is, like, this is just the beginning research for us. We hopefully have a lot of people build on our research. I see a lot of areas of application where people are using different standards in different ways. You can see it, I would say, in a lot of the tumult since October 7th on our campuses. People are using very different standards on each side of the divide, again holding the other side to much higher standards than they're holding themselves to in the statements that they're making. And so, my hope is that, somehow, we get to be a little more reflective about these things and apply those lessons and maybe take the temperature down in our politics because of that.On The Authentic Appeal of the Lying Demagogue06:37 [Minjae Kim]: I think one of the key things that we really wanted to focus on was that we started with a premise that not only do politicians spread misinformation on all sides of the spectrum, but also, people often, you know, recognize the possibility, very salient possibility, that politicians lie very often.So, there is literature in the political science talking about how it is actually very hard for politicians to appear authentic. So, one of the key things that we try to get at in that paper with the authentic appeal of the lying demagogue was essentially to identify a specific type of misinformation or specific type of lies that, you know, we label as lying demagoguery that would help that politician appear more authentic versus not under certain kinds of conditions.Economics is always shared goal06:37 [Minjae Kim]: Even if there is some kind of separation between the facts and truth that people recognize as, that if they can agree what, kind of, the goal that they should seek out for, then, you know, there might be... this divide might not necessarily be a hurdle. That said, we don't know if it is easier to arrive in the same goal or if it is easier to arrive at the same facts. We don't really know which one is easier. So, the prescription would have to depend a little bit on that. But, you know, the economic goal might be, kind of, one of them, so it could be, but yeah. 33:16 [Maya]: Economics is always a shared goal, you know. Like, let's bring it back to business. And that's true. It's the quality of life. It's the quality of life that you have.Despite divisions, American economy shows potential for growth30:15 [Ezra Zuckerman Sivan]: The American economy, is a place where Americans of all types meet each other, and do business with each other, do all kinds of creative, exciting things together. And it is quite robust. Now, it has challenges. But if you look at the state of the American economy, especially compared to, to the rest of the world, American economy is doing fantastically well. Now, that doesn't mean it doesn't have troubles. And now, I'm going to get into trouble a little bit because, [30:44] I think both on right and left, people are complaining about the economy. You ask most economists, you ask most business school professors, people seem to be complaining about the economy more than they should. So, we're back to a little bit of the, you know, gap between some kind of sense of truth and facts. And also, there are people who are really clearly suffering in this economy. But the American economy, and there was a great jobs report that came out just now, like, shows you that Americans, even despite our divide and our different narratives, at least about politics, can do great things together. And so, maybe that's a source of hope.Show Links: When Truth Trumps Facts: Studies on Partisan Moral Flexibility in American Politics | American Journal of SociologyFlexible morals: A key reason American voters support divisive misinformation | MIT SloanThe Authentic Appeal of the Lying Demagogue: Proclaiming the Deeper Truth about Political Illegitimacy - Oliver Hahl, Minjae Kim, Ezra W.

On this week's parsha, Parshat Ki Tavo, we discuss how to act when we enter the land of Israel. With all sorts of terrible things that can happen, what should we focus on? How should we act? As Sivan explains, one verse directs us: "Because you did not serve God with happiness and gladness of heart when you had an abundence of everything." We should pay attention to what we have. Thank God for what we are given. Appreciate the privilege in our lives. But how can we be happy after such a challenging year? How can we create happy Jewish futures?

Today I talked to Sivan Zakai and Matt Reingold's their book Teaching Israel: Studies of Pedagogy from the Field (Brandeis UP, 2023). In this discussion we discuss best teaching practices for Israel Incorporating Israel educators from inner-city nontraditional college classrooms, the US marine core university, Jewish day school high schools and pre-schools, and more. The approach almost across the board is learner centered where exploration and questioning are encouraged. Matt discusses how this volume provides opportunities for teachers to learn not only from settings that are similar to their own but also from settings that differ - a next step of communities of practice, sharing and expanding. Sivan discusses the impact and importance of understanding the lines between ancient and modern Israel and how they may be blurred at times and yet made very distinct at others. It is important for educators to understand the significance and impact of their teaching as Israel does pose a unique set of challenges in its multiplicity - history, religion, modern conflict, modern progress, and diversity. Many important topics were raised that encourage further discussion among teacher groups and within classrooms.

In this week's parsha, Parshat Ki Teitzei, we read seventy four mitzvot, the largest number out of all the parshot in the Torah. But Sivan zeroes in on just one: HaShavat Aveda, or lost and found. That if you see something astray, you are commanded to return it to its owner. Yes, this relates to physical objects in the world. But it's also about those who are spiritually lost. That when one strays away, we must help bring them back. How do we help others return to themselves? How do we help ourselves if we've gone adrift?
