What if the secret to a peaceful, impactful life is simply refusing to live by anyone else's rules?”Then imagine what would change if you stopped living for a legacy and started living like today is all that matters.As you get to know Andrew Brummer and his journey toward self-actualization, you'll discover the seeds harvested with him were planted early. He had a difficult childhood for various reasons, but his parents provided a sound upbringing. His father taught him to be a “multiplier”. This means, to not only enhance others, but to be skilled in many areas rather than have a narrowly-focused specialty. Add his mother's teaching that nobody is going to make things better for you and you alone choose how to live, and you combine resourcefulness with resilience. His mother also taught him to accept people as they are and love them the way they want to be loved. Over time, this liberated Andrew to be of better service to his employees, his teammates, and his community. It also helped him find his own True North and build a solid foundation for himself.All in all a good package, and on the surface it looked fine. But Fine Is a 4-Letter Word. We all wear what Andrew calls “the Facebook mask”, where we make it seem like everything is great and watch everyone else do the same. Andrew admits here he's gone through many tough times, including in his relationships, work situations and immigration challenges. Plus, he's had a lifetime of medical issues that have required numerous surgeries.But what did he discover?Ultimately, nobody is going to put their nose to the grindstone and do the work for you. It's up to you to make it happen. And, like his mother taught him, it's up to you to decide what kind of day you'll have when you wake up in the morning and get moving.Today, Andrew is not only a fractional COO, he's also either leading or launching several other companies, including one that's building a firearms training system that can even teach kids to use them safely. He is a coach and a mentor. Plus, he has a radio station that has a 200-song playlist. And that's when he's not doing woodwork or decorating his house with 35,000 Christmas lights. Skilled in many areas, as his father taught him. Sounds like an interesting guy, yes?In a moment, when you hear from Andrew, you'll discover a lot more about his journey. One key lesson was finding his own truth and coming to embrace that each of us has our own truth. There are so many more in his new book, “Leading Magnanimously”, which you'll hear more about.Andrew's hype song is "Kiss Off" by Violent Femmes.Resources:Andrew Brummer's website: https://ardunan.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewbrummer/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrewbrummer X: https://x.com/andrewbrummer Claim your copy of Andrew's new book, “Leading Magnanimously”, at https://ardunan.com/village/books/land-lm Invitation from Lori:This episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit.

Being Skilled In The Word Of Righteousness - Ap Allan Bagg by The Bay CFC

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – Despite the fear-mongering about job loss, the reality is that the American labor market is full of potential. High-paying jobs that don't require a four-year degree are waiting for willing hands. According to Forbes and Randstad, the best jobs in 2025 include roles like wind turbine technician, solar installer, plumber, and HVAC technician—all jobs that can't be replaced by algorithms...

In this episode, Aileen Miziolek speaks with renowned facilitator and author Roger Schwarz about the critical roles facilitators and consultants play—especially in complex systems like family enterprises. Roger explores how mutual learning, clear boundaries and transparency can elevate the value professionals bring to their clients, offering practical insights and tools for navigating advisory roles with compassion and clarity.   All views, information, and opinions expressed during this podcast are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of Family Enterprise Canada.   Guest bio Roger M. Schwarz, PhD, is an organizational psychologist and president and CEO of Roger Schwarz & Associates. For more than forty years, he has helped leadership teams and organizations achieve strong performance, solid working relationships, and individual well-being. His work is grounded in the premise that creating fundamental, systemic, and sustainable change requires that individuals, teams, and the larger organization change the mindset that guides their behaviour.   You can learn more about Roger M. Schwarz on LinkedIn and the Roger Schwarz and Associates website.   Key Takeaways [2:03] Aileen Miziolek welcomes Roger M. Schwarz and asks him to share a little bit about his background.   [4:10] Roger starts off sharing the proper definition of a facilitator, and more importantly, what they cannot be.   [6:28] The facilitator and consultant roles intersect and give rise to different possible titles. For Roger, it boils down to one question: What value do you bring to the client?   [9:31] Roger underscores the more obvious traps of the facilitative consultant with a few examples.   [12:06] The decision of which role to play is fraught with challenges, and the first may be a conversation with your client.   [16:31] Engaging a system without becoming enmeshed is critical. Roger talks about boundaries and becoming a mirror.   [18:38] Roger explains the unilateral control approach and mutual learning.   [21:38] The five core values of mutual learning.   [24:24] Roger shares the chess versus puzzle analogy.   [25:40] Many facilitators and consultants often get stuck. Roger offers that they try the transparency test.   [28:42] The role compassion plays in facilitating.   [31:34] Roger tackles an issue he is passionate about: the use of agendas! Or rather, using the purpose and process method.   [34:31] The purpose and process are established right before a meeting, but not so early as to become the meeting itself!   [37:05] Roger shares the story of a good and a bad facilitation.   [44:02] Roger shares who his books are for as well as some of the services and resources his office provides.   [45:55] Aileen thanks Roger Schwarz for sharing so much of his knowledge, and closes this episode by reminding listeners to rate and subscribe.   If you enjoyed today's episode, you can subscribe to Let's Talk Family Enterprise on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other podcast apps.

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series PodcastThis is the Dhamma talk with Metta Centre (SYD) on "Why we should become skilled in the ways of our own mind". This session was conducted via zoom. Drawing from the Sacitta Sutta (AN 10.51), we will examine the Buddha's teaching on how to become skilled in the ways or nature of our own mind. The Buddha taught to train our minds as if our clothes or head were on fire. Through this, and another simile, he highlighted the benefit of regular self-examination towards abandoning unskilled states and developing skilled states of the mind. In this session, we will explore how we can apply this powerful teaching, which helps us to establish contemplation of the mind, undertake noble washing and activate the noble eightfold path.Blessings of the Triple Gem.

Edith Targonski arrived to the United States from Peru when she was 19 years old. Her sister had arrived a few years before and she was so happy about being reunited with her, but unhappy to speak English. She had visited the U.S. numerous times prior to her move but didn't know much English and lacked confidence in her speaking skills. She soon met a fellow immigrant from Poland, who arrived at 17 years old with his parents. They fell in love and got married. Edith and her husband created a beautiful family blending and honoring their individual cultures from South America and Poland, while building their own family traditions. They learned English and raised their children in an English speaking household but also exposed their children to Spanish and Polish for them to have the opportunity to communicate with their grandparents and broaden their horizons. Since arriving twenty seven years ago, Edith has been very motivated to learn, grow her career and serve the community. She earned a special education degree from Sacred Heart Univ, and was an effective classroom teacher for many years. Currently, she serves as a passionate advocate for families who have children with special needs. She is a business development consultant. She has been a dedicated volunteer to many organizations, giving credit to her father for her need to give back and learning this from watching him. She has graduated about 9 senior citizens who have achieved citizenship under her tutelage at the Stamford Senior Center. She currently serves in the role of Editor-in-Chief of Latincolors magazine, which is a bilingual magazine that is widely circulated throughout Fairfield County, CT. and Westchester County, NY.

Partsol, the US-founded AI firm, has announced plans to create at least 25 new highly-skilled jobs in Ireland as it accelerates international expansion from its global headquarters in Dublin. The announcement reflects the company's long-term commitment to Ireland and will increase Partsol's present headcount in Ireland to around 35. Partsol has already raised $28.6 million (€25.2 million) in funding and expects to double that by the end of 2025. The firm's Cognitive AI platform ATAI is designed for high-stakes industries such as healthcare, law, accounting and financial services, where accuracy is paramount and hallucinations are unacceptable. ATAI is engineered with a unique "AI Stem Cells" framework grounded in verifiable truth, drawing on four scientific pillars to ensure outputs are rooted in factual evidence, not probabilistic guesswork. Commenting on his firm's hiring plans, CEO of Partsol Dr. Darryl Williams said: "We're investing in Irish talent because we believe the most important breakthroughs in AI will come from teams that are both technically brilliant and ethically grounded. "The calibre of expertise here is world-class, and it gives us the foundation to build not just a product, but a company that leads globally from Ireland. This is only the beginning of our hiring plans and we intend to expand next year too. The decision to relocate from the US to Ireland earlier this year reflects a deeper and more strategic bet on Ireland's future, said Dr. Williams. "Ireland offers a rare combination of regulatory clarity, scientific integrity and entrepreneurial energy. For a company like Partsol, building the future of AI, that's not just attractive - it's essential. "Where others see regulation as a constraint, we see it as an accelerant. Ireland's leadership on AI and data policy gives us the confidence to innovate boldly, knowing we're building within a framework that prioritises safety, transparency and long-term trust. "The future of AI shouldn't be left to chance or unchecked experimentation. It should be built with intention, in places that value both innovation and responsibility. That's why we're proud to call Ireland home," he said. See more stories here.

Gayatri Kalyanaraman is in conversation with Dr. Fred Jordan, CEO and Co-Founder at AlpVision and FinalSpark - Expert anticounterfeit technologies - Expert biocomputing talks about his journey to make a difference in AI and what propelled him to do that. 1. Early Career — Curiosity, Coincidence, and CounterfeitsFred describes himself modestly as a French physicist who stumbled into entrepreneurship by "provoking luck."He and his co-founder Martin Kutter began with research in digital watermarking, creating invisible marks on media.Their startup AlfVision emerged from this — aimed at detecting counterfeit goods using image analysis.Lessons from early failures (9 out of 10 products failed) were key to refining their success. 2. Making the Mark — Patents, Passion, and Intellectual PropertyFred emphasizes building a business around passion, but insists on profitability too.He stresses the importance of understanding finance, even for technical founders.As a multi-founder and active programmer, he still codes when needed — including writing software that led to a patent and successful tech deployment in China. 3. Creating a Legacy — Bio-Neurons and a Sustainable FutureFinal Spark emerged from Fred and Martin's desire to return to fundamental research, after years of commercial success.Their mission: dramatically reduce the energy and resources required to run AI by leveraging real neurons instead of digital simulations — achieving up to 1 million times greater energy efficiency.In their lab in Switzerland, they've created a testbed where biological neural tissues are grown, connected via electrodes, and streamed in real-time — with microfluidics feeding them 24/7.Fred draws a direct parallel between learning in artificial neural networks (via adjusting weights) and the biological challenge of inducing learning by reconfiguring synaptic connections. This forms the crux of building a true biological computing server. “When you have artificial neurons, learning is done by setting the right connections between them. We need to do the same in biology. That's how humans learn — and that's what we have to replicate in vitro.”The long-term vision is bold:Create biological servers at scale (10cm x 100m tissues) that could power AI with drastically less energy.Biological intelligence becoming mainstream — just as LED lights replaced incandescent bulbs.A future with hybrid bio-artificial objects — think of a glass that detects your mood and adjusts your drink accordingly.Breakaway quote-worthy moments “Trial and error is really precious... Being a co-founder, failures teach you very, very valuable lessons.” “I'm not building something for today — I want it to make sense even from 100 million kilometers away.”His thoughts on entrepreneurship: “You need to be not bad at many things. Everything is holistic.” “If you don't work for your dreams, you work for someone else's.”Fred Jordan is an Experienced Chief Executive Officer with a demonstrated history of successful and profitable businesses. Skilled in Innovation, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Programming, Marketing, Management and Entrepreneurship. Scientific education with M.Sc. in physics and Ph.D. in signal processing.Co-founder of:- AlpVision: Supplier of technologies and smartphone solutions for automatic detection of genuine and fake products.- FinalSpark: Startup using biological neural networks for the design of Artificial General Intelligence.Dr. Fred Jordan  started their journey in technology entrepreneurship after completing his PhDs at EPFL in applied mathematics. This work gave them the inspiration for their first successful start-up, AlpVision, where they excelled at overcoming engineering challenges and created an innovative solution for product authentication. The company became very profitable and is still successfully run by them.This brought the co-founders Fred and Martin to a new, even bigger challenge, to address the problem of Artificial General Intelligence. Creating a ‘Thinking Machine' is a dream of many engineers. A machine which can reason as a human being is considered by many as a peak performance to be achieved in engineering.Although we currently observe the flourishing of the AI models which make impression of being ableto think, as they successfully ‘fake' human thinking with advanced statistics, this has nothing to do withhuman reasoning which is capable of creating new ideas and concepts outside its own experience. Thisis what a ‘real' thinking machine should do as well.Fred and Martin decided to address this problem by testing the state-of-the-art methods in AI models, such as in silico spiking neural networks, genetic programming and many versions of in silico neural networks.Multidisciplinary thinking and the interest to explore unknown areas lead Fred and Martin to work on living neurons as computation units. They established FinalSpark lab which is currently running fundamental research with one main question: How to make living neurons perform intended computations?How to send instructions to the living neurons using electric wires and receive results – the same wayas we send the instructions by typing on our keyboard and receive the answers from in silico computerson our screens.Fred Jordan can be reached at https://www.linkedin.com/in/fred-jordan-anticounterfeiting-brandprotection-authentication/

Physical therapist John Corsino discusses his article, "Lifelong learning: a game-changer in diagnosing dizziness." He highlights how often the answers to complex cases, like acute dizziness, are present in the exam room but can be missed due to an over-reliance on diagnostic testing and systemic pressures that undervalue thorough physical examination. John champions the importance of lifelong learning for clinicians and the effective use of specific physical exam techniques, such as the HINTS exam, which can differentiate between peripheral vestibular issues and central nervous system insults with high accuracy, sometimes even outperforming imaging. The conversation delves into how misperceptions about dizziness persist and how a commitment to skilled examination can prevent diagnostic delays, reduce health care costs, and significantly improve patient outcomes. The key takeaway is: Investing time in honing physical examination skills and fostering a culture of continuous learning is crucial for clinicians to provide high-value, accurate diagnoses, especially for challenging symptoms like dizziness, ultimately transforming patient care.
