A lot of European accounts of Sayyida al-Hurra’s life characterize her as a pirate, but that really isn't accurate. She was a a leader of a city-state and a queen of a sultanate.

Join RevUP Academy: https://bit.ly/4wRZDuYNeil Sparkes, AVP of Customer Excellence at ServiceNow UK&I, has a global mandate to move agentic AI out of the experiment phase and into live production inside heavily regulated enterprises. In this episode he breaks down why efficiency gains no longer land with a CFO, how ServiceNow benchmarks real cost savings before and after agents, and where to draw the line between what an agent executes on its own and what still needs a human. We also get into the AI divide that is separating fast adopters from everyone else, why token bills are landing on finance desks with no ROI attached, and whether the SaaS model actually survives all this. Neil also shares why he brought in external training on value conversations for his team, and what he thinks CS will be held accountable for next year.Chapters:00:00 Intro03:19 Meet Neil "Sparky" Sparks of ServiceNow16:50 Getting regulated enterprises to adopt agentic AI22:05 Why efficiency gains no longer convince a CFO25:00 Treat an AI agent like a new employee31:10 Start here: low risk, zero human touch workflows35:06 Separating your personal AI from your work AI39:30 The AI divide and token bills with no ROI42:13 Ripping out your tech stack: is SaaS dead?49:41 What AI is doing to renewals and upsellsConnect with Neil Sparkes: https://www.linkedin.com/in/neil-sparkes/Connect with Anika Zubair: Website: https://thecustomersuccesspro.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anikazubair/RevUP Academy™: https://thecustomersuccesspro.com/revupBook Anika as a speaker at your next team event: https://www.thecustomersuccesspro.com/team-eventWant to be my next podcast guest apply here: https://www.thecustomersuccesspro.com/podcast-guestDownload my freebies:https://thecustomersuccesspro.com/resources

In Watermelons, an updated edition of his ground-breaking 2011 book, James tells the shocking true story of how a handful of political activists, green campaigners, voodoo scientists and psychopathic billionaires teamed up to invent a fake crisis called ‘global warming'. This updated edition includes two new chapters which, like a geo-engineered flood, pour cold water on some of the original's sunny optimism and provide new insights into the diabolical nature of the climate alarmists' sinister master plan.

My guest today hails from Newfoundland and began his journey studying Physical Education and playing basketball at Memorial University. He kicked off his Club Med career in 1998 as a Sailing G.O. in Eleuthera but soon found his calling under the big top with the Circus team. He continued with Club Med until 2000, finishing his final season at Playa Blanca. After his time with Club Med, he transitioned into television, co-hosting the popular home improvement show Colour Confidential, and contributing to hit series like Colin and Justin's Home Heist and The Unsellables. Please join me in welcoming the multitalented David Sparkes! In this episode, we explore all of David's adventures through the seasons, including his fascinating transition from sailing to the circus. He shares the story behind his move from Club Med to television, where he began hosting and working on home renovation shows. Whether you're a fan of Club Med nostalgia or addicted to home improvement TV, this episode has something for you! **My First Season podcast has always been ad-free and free to listen to and is available to download on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Samsung Podcasts, Podbean App, Podchaser, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, Pandora and Listen Notes.

I'm really excited to share this conversation with all of you today, because Joshua Sparkes not only has a unique perspective on gardening and food production, he also speaks about these topics from a lot of experience and infectious passion. I've spoken to tons of farmers and gardeners on this show, and many of them are experts in permaculture, or market gardening, or native plants, or any other specialty, but in Josh's case, he's studied in many parts of the world and learned a range of disciplines that he combines in his own unique way to create a truly inspiring and evolving food production system at Birch farm in the UK, that actually doesn't focus primarily on food growing at all. Before I let him explain that, let's start at the beginning. Josh was fortunate to grow up in a wild part of Sussex surrounded by forests and meadows. When he finished school He joined the military and served overseas. He says his childhood was often a place he retreated too during hard times and it made him realise that his love came from nature, and so he's dedicated the last 15 years to make sure he can do his best to support and protect it through his work, which was the beginning of his journey into Natural Farming. In this episode Josh will explain how attending a horticulture program opened doors to travel and learn from farmers and gardeners around the world and how that has shaped his vision for Birch farm. We explore how putting a main focus on increasing biodiversity has evolved into a wild configuration of plants in a small space which includes trees, and species that most consider weeds and pests as part of an integral system which aims to reach a balance through many multiple interconnections rather than eradication or suppression of certain life forms. Josh also explains how principles of natural farming and syntopic agriculture are married with the need to produce vegetables for a farm store and connected restaurant while also providing unique culinary and sensory experiences for customers. Of all the different food production systems that I've heard described on this show, I would say that the vision that Josh describes is the most aligned with my own for my own farm, just with much more knowledge and practical experience.

Et nyt parti har set dagens lys. I Grønne Demokrater er der ingen partidisciplin, og partiet afviser også at deltage i lukkede forligsmøder. Det skal være med til at gøre op med den usunde kultur, der ifølge partistifter Theresa Scavenius hersker blandt partierne på Christiansborg. Vi spørger Scavenius, om hun gør det for at få opmærksomhed - eller fordi hun reelt tror på, at Grønne Demokrater kan opnå indflydelse? Og så får vi besøg af Venstre-manden Hans Chr. Schmidt. I 30 år har han siddet i Folketinget, men ved næste valg er det slut. Som minister og folketingsmedlem har han været førstehåndsvidne til både op- og nedture i Venstre. I dag ser vi nærmere på, hvilket Venstre, han blev valgt ind i, og hvilket parti han nu forlader. Værter: Jens Ringberg og Pia Glud Munksgaard. Gæster: Theresa Scavenius, løsgænger og stifter af Grønne Demokrater, Hans Chr. Schmidt, MF for Venstre. Tilrettelægger: Theodora Renard.

On the September 18, 2024 edition of the Richard Crouse Show we meet Mary Badham. She had no acting experience before she auditioned for the role of the intelligent and unconventional girl Jean Louise Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird. Better known by the nickname Scout, the character is the daughter of Alabama lawyer, Atticus Finch, played by Gregory Peck in the classic film. Mary Badham, at just ten years of age, became the youngest actress to that date to be nominated for Best Supporting Actress.  At age fourteen, after appearing in several other films and television show, including the final episode of the original Twilight Zone series, she retired from acting at age fourteen. She stayed close with Gregory Peck, who she always called Atticus, until his death in 2003. To Kill a Mockingbird has never completely left her life, however, Mary has traveled around the world recalling her experiences making the classic film, and praising the book's messages of tolerance and compassion, and now, in her debut as a stage actor, she plays, quote “the meanest old woman who ever lived,” Mrs. Dubose in the national touring production of Aaron Sorkin's stage adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird, which features Richard Thomas in the role of Atticus Finch and is now playing at the CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre in Toronto. Check mirvish.com for more details. Then, Christian Sparkes, a film director and screenwriter from St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. His new movie, “The King Tide,” is set in an isolated, struggling community, ten years after a child with miraculous gifts washed up on the beach. She is able to heal people, but after a decade of prosperity, her adoptive parents are forced to decide whether her safety is more important than their community's prosperity

It's important to scream about our home grown talent from the mountain tops....so plug your ears....On this special episode we dive into some lovely and haunting Can-Con from the magnificent east coast of our country.  Time to visit "Sweetland"."Sweetland" is the story of an endangered Newfoundland community that is on the brink of re-location and one man who is determined to resist it every step of the way.A gorgeously shot character piece, "Sweetland" is saying something real while transporting us to a part of our amazing country that so many people just don't know that much about.I had the pleasure of sitting down with writer/director Christian Sparkes and author Michael Crummey to discuss the origins of the story, and East Coast New Wave, working in the elements and so very much more.

In Christian Sparkes's new psychological thriller, “The King Tide,” a young girl with mysterious powers washes ashore a remote island community in Newfoundland. But after her powers go dormant, the once peaceful community devolves into violence. Christian joins Tom to talk about the film and why he was interested in exploring the darker side of his home province.

On the Saturday April 27 edition of the Richard Crouse Show we meet Ruth Reichl, the New York Times bestselling author of five memoirs, the novel “Delicious!,” and the cookbook “My Kitchen Year.” She was editor in chief of Gourmet magazine, and previously served as restaurant critic for The New York Times, as well as food editor and restaurant critic for the Los Angeles Times. She has been honored with six James Beard Awards. Today we'll talk about her new book “The Paris Novel,” which follows Stella St. Vincent, an introverted thirtysomething, who finds purpose in a search for art, fashion and food on a 1983 Paris trip. We'll also meet award-winning, former Toronto Star journalist Morgan Campbell. His new memoir “My Fighting Family: Borders and Bloodlines and the Battles That Made Us,” offers a history of his family's multigenerational battles, a coming-of-age story, and a powerful reckoning with what it means to be Black in Canada when you have strong American roots. Then, we'll meet Christian Sparkes, a film director and screenwriter from St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. I really like his revenge thriller “Hammer,” the story of a father who faces a personal crisis when he discovers his estranged son fleeing a botched drug deal. It's good stuff, and likely available on a streamer near you. Today, we'll talk about his new movie “The King Tide.” Set in Newfoundland and Labrador, it tells the story of an isolated, struggling community, ten years after a child with miraculous gifts washed up on the beach. She is able to heal people, but after a decade of prosperity, her adoptive parents are forced to decide whether her safety is more important than their community's prosperity.

Pop culture lovers will be heading to the Sheraton this weekend for Sci Fi on the Rock. Today we talk to Andre Sparkes -- known to some as Brute Squad Cosplay -- who will be dressing as ten different characters over the weekend.

Keels in Bonavista Bay provides the backdrop for The King Tide, a feature film directed by Newfoundlander Christian Sparkes. The film makes its Newfoundland premiere tonight, and director Christian Sparkes discussed it with us this morning.

Allan Sparkes, inspirational keynote speaker and best selling author of the book 'The cost of bravery', is one of Australia's most highly decorated citizens with an incredible story. Allan Sparkes became one of only five people to be awarded Australia's highest decoration for bravery, the Cross of Valour, for rescuing an 11-year old boy from a flooded storm water drain in 1996. However, after two decades in the police force, the rescue would signal a downward spiral into post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. This turn of events was an incredibly dark time for Allan and it's through his struggle and recovery that he saw an opportunity to share with others what he went through, turning shame into hope.

Effective communication and relationships are essential for business success. Brian Sparkes, an Executive Communication Coach and Head of Communications for Bay Angels, understands the significance of communication and community. With vast experience supporting corporate leaders, startups, and HR departments worldwide, Brian excels in preparing clients for important conversations, refining their messaging, and enhancing delivery skills. He is also actively involved in the higher education sector, making him a well-rounded expert in the field. His passion extends beyond individual communication, focusing on building vibrant communities and matching startups with the vital resources, funding, and education they need to launch, scale, and thrive. A certified ACC and ICF executive coach, Brian specializes in emotional intelligence, sales, leadership, team building, and communication. BUILDING STRONG COMMUNITIES; BUILDING STRONG BUSINESSES As someone who focuses heavily on the importance of communication and building strong foundations, Brian shares with us the keys of building not only strong communities, but strong businesses. Shared Vision: Having a shared vision is essential for building a strong community, whether it's a group of startup founders or executives within a company. A shared vision provides a common understanding and direction, allowing individuals to align their goals and efforts towards a common purpose. Effective communication of this vision is crucial for leaders, as it inspires and engages others. A clear vision creates a sense of purpose and motivates community members to work together towards a common goal. Shared Values: Shared values are crucial for building strong communities. While diverse perspectives are valuable, having a set of core values that overlap and resonate with community members establishes unity. Values like trust, integrity, respect, and inclusivity form the foundation of a community. When individuals share these values, deeper connections are formed, trust is fostered, and collaboration becomes more effective. Shared values create a sense of belonging and a strong bond among community members. Collective Commitment: Collective commitment is vital for successful communities. Each member must contribute to the group's success and growth by being reliable, supportive, and accountable. This involves active participation, sharing expertise and resources, and honoring commitments. When community members can rely on each other, trust is strengthened, fostering collaboration and deal-making opportunities. THE ROLE OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION The role of effective communication in relationship building and community development. Brian stresses the need to move beyond the resume-style conversations often associated with networking. Instead, he encouraged a more authentic approach that focuses on connecting with people on a personal level. Effective communication involves resonating with others, expressing empathy, and showing genuine interest in their stories and experiences. It's about being present, listening actively, and making people feel valued and heard. Brian's role with the Bay Angels focuses on bringing diverse communities together effectively. The principles he applies in his role with Bay Angels are also applicable to coaching C-suite executives in cultivating their own communities. By bridging the gap between angel investors, startups, and service providers, he aims to create a cohesive ecosystem. Developing a strong culture and community within an organization is essential for recruiting and retaining top talent. Effective communication plays a vital role in building such communities and fostering a sense of belonging and engagement.
