Bobby Jain is the CEO and CIO of Jain Global, a global multi-strategy hedge fund he launched last year that manages about $6 billion with over 350 employees. Bobby's storied Wall Street career includes spending seven years as the Co-CIO of Millenium and twenty at Credit Suisse in a range of leadership roles spanning proprietary trading, derivatives, and asset management. Our conversation traces Bobby's path from growing up as the son of immigrants in Queens to the trading floors of O'Connor and Credit Suisse, all of which shaped his thoughtful, framework-driven perspectives on markets. We explore the evolution of prop trading and the migration of risk taking from banks to hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, and private credit. We then discuss Bobby's ambitious launch, including the principles guiding its design, scale and diversification out of the gate, talent strategy, risk management, portfolio construction, and the many tradeoffs that create the different cultures and complexions of multi-manager hedge funds. We close with Bobby's application of financial innovation to helping others.

In this Teacher Talk episode, Linda and Ashly dive deep into what to do when you're a new, soft-spoken or non-authoritative teacher who still wants a calm, respectful classroom. You CAN gain student respect, keep lessons on track, and manage attention-seeking behaviors—without becoming louder, harsher, or someone you're not! "I am a first year Spanish teacher. I am not an authoritative personality and I do not have a loud voice. How can I get my class to respect me without raising my voice. They get derailed and like to say things to get attention from their peers while I am teaching. I have a student who is ADD and will not stop taking the bait from students around him so he is constantly turning around and talking to people around him, despite constant redirecting and correction." 00:00 Introduction to Classroom Management Challenges 02:50 Understanding Teaching Personalities and Authority 06:54 Strategies for Managing Student Behavior 09:32 Final Thoughts and Resources for Teachers Resources/Links Mentioned: Warning Systems Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jeg5NIP58zs 10 Commandments Episode: https://teach4theheart.com/373 10 Commandments Playlist: https://teach4theheart.com/playlist CM101: https://teach4theheart.com/cm101

Show Notes:  Richard Millington talks about his Substack and consulting practice, Fever B. Richard shares his journey of starting his consultancy practice in 2009 or 2010, focusing on building online communities. During the pandemic, Richard received many requests for advice on becoming a consultant, leading him to start his Substack in April 2023. Richard explains how his Substack has become a side hustle, allowing him to reflect on his experiences and share valuable insights with his audience. Defining Community Consulting Richard defines community consulting, which involves building communities for customers in the technology space. He explains that community consulting helps companies save money by allowing customers to answer each other's questions, reducing the need for customer support. Richard emphasizes the importance of understanding psychology, incentive structures, and legal considerations when building communities, and he highlights the need for companies to hire the right team and have the right strategy, technology, and processes in place. How to Motivate Community Participants When asked how to motivate people to answer questions in online communities, Richard explains that people often help others for the intrinsic reward of feeling useful and making an impact. He discusses the importance of creating a sense of community and recognition for top contributors, such as unique roles and status within the community. Richard notes that financial incentives can sometimes backfire, as people may focus more on the money than on helping others. Surprising Insights on Substack Richard mentions that his most popular post, "The goal of your consulting website is to display as many trust signals as possible," received a lot of attention. He shares other popular posts, such as "Consulting is not selling your expertise" and "You only need to engage 50 people to be a success." Richard discusses his less popular but personally impactful posts, like those on contract structure and niche selection, which he found important for his audience. A Successful Approach to Content Creation Richard talks about his process for creating Substack posts. He  explains that he has a routine of dedicating the first hour of his day to generating ideas and writing posts. He reflects on his past experiences and common themes among his coaching clients to create relevant content. Richard mentions that he is moving towards having a theme for a few months, leading into a program he is running, to provide a clear point of focus for his content. Examples of Consulting Projects Richard describes a recent project with a client in Las Vegas, where he helped launch a community from scratch. He explains the importance of strategy, internal buy-in, technology setup, and training for community success. Richard also discusses projects focused on improving existing communities, such as increasing engagement and proving return on investment. Courses and Coaching for Consultants Richard shares his experience with creating courses, starting with his first course in 2011, and the success of his video courses. He explains the benefits of cohort-based courses, which have higher completion rates compared to on-demand courses. Richard discusses his coaching programs, which help independent consultants select the right niche, market themselves, and attract clients. Strategies to Attract Clients Richard outlines six ways to attract clients: search engine optimization, algorithms, referrals, networking, advertising, and cold outreach. He emphasizes the importance of selecting the right acquisition channel and committing to it. Richard shares his personal experience with using social ads to grow his Substack audience and the costs involved. Pricing Advice for Consultants Richard discusses the importance of strategic pricing and the pitfalls of advice like "just raise your rates." He explains the need for a balanced approach to pricing, considering the type of client, the project's complexity, and the competition. Richard shares his approach to naming fees and the benefits of using a broad range to align with the client's expectations.

She and her husband started to flip houses in 2018 and ended up making enough to afford to keep the real estate. She always dreamed of leaving the corporate world, so she used her steady paycheck at Apple to support their real estate goals. In 2019, she started her first short-term rental and was forced to pivot in 2020 with the pandemic. Now she runs multiple businesses focused on short-term rentals, mid-term rentals, and corporate housing, and she coaches others on the strategy behind securing profitable leases from Airbnb and beyond.Guest Link:Instagram.com/vivianyip_officialvivian@vivianyip.comGet FREE Access to our Community and Weekly Trainings:https://group.strsecrets.com/

Episode 211: In this episode, Andy McDonald is joined by Trent — founder of The Tendon Lab and a specialist in Achilles and Patellar tendon health. Trent brings nearly a decade of professional basketball experience as a physical therapist, strength coach, and former VP of Player Health and Performance into his focused clinical and research practice in Traverse City, Michigan. A former collegiate basketball player turned tendon scientist, his work now centres exclusively on evaluating and enhancing tendon structure and function. Alongside consulting with professional teams on high-performance systems and return-to-play processes, Trent is pursuing his PhD in tendon health under one of the world's leading tendon researchers. His mission is clear: bridge the gap between emerging tendon science and the realities of performance environments. Across the conversation, Trent unpacks what “tendon health” really means beyond pain or imaging alone. He explores how structure, function, and symptoms interact — and why they don't always move in parallel. The discussion dives into the role of UTC imaging, intelligent loading strategies, and how to progress athletes toward high-level stretch–shortening cycle (SSC) demands with clarity and confidence. ㅤ Topics Discussed: • Defining tendon health • The role of UTC imaging in clinical decision-making • Structure vs. function vs. pain • Strategies for progressive tendon loading • Targeting tendon substructure adaptations • End-stage / SSC tendon loading in performance settings Where you can find Trent: LinkedIn Website Instagram -  Sponsors VALD Performance, makers of the Nordbord, Forceframe, ForeDecks and HumanTrak. VALD Performance systems are built with the high-performance practitioner in mind, translating traditionally lab-based technologies into engaging, quick, easy-to-use tools for daily testing, monitoring and training Hytro: The world's leading Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) wearable, designed to accelerate recovery and maximise athletic potential using Hytro BFR for Professional Sport.  -  Where to Find Us Keep up to date with everything that is going on with the podcast by following Inform Performance on: Instagram Twitter Our Website - Our Team Andy McDonald Ben Ashworth Alistair McKenzie Steve Barrett  Pete McKnight

Duncan Angove of Blue Yonder talks about supply chain in 2026 and beyond; AI; & how businesses can get out of testing mode and lean into scalable innovation.   IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [03.52] An introduction to Duncan, his background and career journey, and what has always interested him about technology. "I'm lucky to have lived through multiple computing transitions, and I always loved the idea that you could leverage technology and code to solve problems." [07.55] The biggest challenges and opportunities for 2026, and why businesses need to step back and look at the bigger picture. "Disruption and complexity is business as usual in supply chain… So we don't get hung up on how you're going to solve for tariffs. You need to have a systemic approach to being more agile, resilient and efficient all the time." [12.54] From the importance of change management to putting a focus on building trust, how organizations are adjusting to a new reality of near-constant disruption and emerging technologies. "There's a lot of experimentation, but not a lot of companies have crossed the chasm from pilot and sexy demo into production… The consequences of getting something wrong have huge business implications." [18.20] How businesses can actually prepare for disruption. "Fundamentally it's about speed and precision, and having a business and software architecture that enables that. Supply chain, historically, doesn't look like that." [22.27] Blue Yonder's long-term vision for transforming global supply chains, and how technology is shaping that future. [26.06] The biggest roadblocks right now with AI integration and adoption, and why supply chain sits in a unique position bridging the digital and physical worlds. "The worst people to innovate in a category are experts." [30.47] How businesses can get out of testing mode and lean into scalable innovation. "Helping people understand and manage their data is step one." [32.59] How Blue Yonder has combined multiple types of AI to create new solutions for retailers, practical examples of that AI in action, and why complete automation is the ultimate end goal. [39.13] What truly sets an organization apart as innovative.

Episode Description: In this insightful episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe welcomes Shirley Hayden, founder and president of Aspire Sales Management Solutions, for her very first podcast appearance. Drawing from over 25 years of executive sales leadership experience and Harvard Business School strategy training, Shirley Hayden shares her expertise on what it takes to build sales systems that not only drive growth, but also endure. The conversation, both conversational and deeply practical, begins with Shirley Hayden recounting her journey from sales representative to executive leader. She discusses how natural leadership tendencies and a keen eye for systems propelled her career, and shares lessons often missed by others—including the importance of speaking up, asking for help, and maintaining open communication with those she leads. Throughout the episode, Wize El Jefe and Shirley Hayden unravel the nuanced relationship between personalities and systems in sales teams. Shirley Hayden emphasizes that while likability and interpersonal skills matter, the foundation of sustainable sales is process-driven. She notes that effective salespeople whether extroverts or introverts succeed by asking the right questions, genuinely seeking to solve customer pain points, and engaging deeply in the mental game of sales. Listeners gain valuable insights into the real-world challenges faced by sales leaders. Shirley Hayden describes turning around an underperforming New England sales team by introducing structured onboarding and operational processes, dramatically reducing the time it took for new hires to become profitable. This experience sets the stage for a broader discussion about the universal need for systems, illustrated not only in sales but also through Wize El Jefe's own experience structuring his podcast for greater efficiency and growth. The episode dives into the continuous evolution of leadership philosophies. Shirley Hayden advocates for ongoing education, firsthand customer interaction, and persistent exposure to current industry trends—especially the transformative role of AI and new technologies in sales acceleration. Both speakers highlight the power of attending summits and conferences for networking, education, and staying ahead in a fast-moving landscape. One of the most resonant themes is the challenge of strong products underperforming due to weak sales processes. Shirley Hayden systematically breaks down common pitfalls: poor onboarding, lack of infrastructure, mismatched sales personalities, and absent assessment tools. She explains the importance of identifying whether a salesperson is a hunter, farmer, or account manager, and ensuring roles align with individual strengths. The episode explores what separates teams that merely survive from those that scale. Shirley Hayden stresses the necessity of a buildable, scalable, and repeatable sales process. She introduces the concept of a customized sales playbook, recounting a case study with a law firm where lack of process led to inefficiency and redundancy. Her discovery approach focuses on streamlining systems to increase efficiency and communication, and reduce errors. Accountability and data-driven decision-making emerge as cornerstones of successful sales leadership. Shirley Hayden details how key performance indicators tracked in a CRM system empower organizations to manage, coach, and forecast effectively. Weekly one-on-one meetings, structured feedback, and clear benchmarks keep teams on track and motivated. As the episode delves into scaling sales teams from small businesses to national organizations, Shirley Hayden emphasizes the engine-like importance of sales, the limits of relying solely on marketing, and the advantages of hiring fractional leaders for specialized expertise without the high cost of full-time executives. She outlines the significance of sustainable, repeatable growth: proper forecasting, data-driven strategy, ongoing training, weekly troubleshooting, and competitor awareness. Addressing common blind spots among founders, Shirley Hayden observes that founders often promote trusted associates into sales roles without proper assessment or process, leading to mismatches and inefficiencies. She warns that 80% of small to mid-sized businesses lack a documented sales process, hampering their ability to scale. The episode offers advice for struggling businesses especially those plateaued or stalled in growth. Shirley Hayden recommends starting with a sales assessment, reaching out to a fractional VP for a complimentary evaluation, and evaluating compensation structures to ensure that sales teams remain incentivized and motivated. Culture, compensation, and legacy are tackled head-on. Shirley Hayden talks about cultivating A-players not just through money, but by providing pathways for advancement and a positive workplace environment. She underlines the essential role of organizational culture in attracting and retaining top talent, encouraging leaders to revisit and live their guiding principles, and to celebrate wins to foster morale and drive continual improvement. Personal anecdotes from Wize El Jefe bring these concepts to life. He shares stories about employee recognition and the importance of celebrating achievements, highlighting how meaningful leadership practices create lasting impact in every organization. The episode closes with Shirley Hayden's contact details and a call to action for founders, leaders, and business owners: structure and systems are the keys to unlocking clarity, confidence, and scalable success. If you're ready to rethink sales and drive sustainable growth, this conversation is essential listening.

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich discusses colostrum management programs with Dr. Lisa Gamsjäger, Assistant Professor at North Carolina State University.  This episode of Have You Herd? is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim and the PYRAMID(R) line of vaccines, a premier choice to protect calves from BRD. Get relentless protection at PyramidVaccines.com. According to research studies, approximately 30% of beef calves have failure of passive transfer and are below 10 g/L of IgG. These calves are 8x more likely to have a disease and 19x more likely to experience mortality. There may be some fundamental differences in colostrum for beef calves, and management strategies between the two production systems are vastly different which can present unique challenges for beef producers. Veterinarians are in a unique position to provide consultation to their beef clients to be prepared to intervene with assistance and/or providing a colostrum replacement product. We discuss a study that examined various feeding protocols of colostrum replacer and its impacts on passive transfer, morbidity, mortality and average daily gains. We also discuss areas for future research on beef calf colostrum management and replacement products. Veterinarians should prepare their clients for the upcoming calving season to ensure that calves receive appropriate passive transfer of immunity by proactively discussing these strategies. References:Gamsjäger L, Haines DM, Pajor EA, Lévy M, Windeyer MC.

This chapter brings you into a lively conversation about golf and the unique experiences that come with playing in different regions. We start with a discussion on the contrasting weather conditions between Arizona and the low country, highlighting the stark differences in humidity. The conversation then shifts to memorable golfing experiences, particularly at the distinctive Calusa Pines in Florida, where the terrain mimics Pinehurst with its impressive elevation changes and lush pine settings. We share anecdotes from the U.S. Open at Pinehurst, emphasizing the challenging nature of Donald Ross-designed courses with their notoriously difficult greens. Additionally, we spotlight young golfer Ava Bunker's recent performance at Pinehurst, navigating the notorious course with notable success despite its demanding conditions. Throughout, we touch on the evolution of golf course maintenance, particularly how advancements have made greens faster and more challenging, posing a unique test to both amateur and professional golfers alike. (12:49) Golf Wind and Stroke Strategy This chapter focuses on the intricacies of improving golf performance and understanding how external factors like wind can affect play. I share insights from a day filled with various golf training sessions, including a putting school, a short game school, an AimPoint class, and a power school. During the power school, we measure club head speed and ball speed, emphasizing the importance of hitting the ball in the center of the clubface for maximum distance. I explain a simple technique using alignment sticks or tees to ensure a straight and effective swing. Additionally, I discuss the impact of wind on putting, illustrating how wind direction and strength can alter the path of a putt, especially on downhill or uphill greens. By setting up practice scenarios, I demonstrate how players can adjust their strategies to account for these elements, enhancing their overall game understanding and performance. (23:14) Improving Golf Swing Impact With Drill This chapter focuses on techniques for putting and driving in windy conditions, emphasizing the importance of squaring the club face to reduce spin and achieve faster ball speeds. I share creative strategies to deal with wind, such as using playing partners to block it, and highlight a scoring clinic where participants practiced driving into the wind. To help golfers square the club face, I describe a unique drill using a car wash sponge to provide auditory feedback, with the impact sound indicating how square the hit was. By wetting the sponge, golfers experience additional feedback through resistance, enhancing their feel of powering through the swing. While the primary focus is on using drivers, the methods can be adapted slightly for irons. This engaging approach offers practical tips for improving performance in challenging conditions. (29:40) Strategies for Playing in the Wind This chapter focuses on mastering golf techniques to improve performance, especially when dealing with challenging conditions like wind. We discuss using alignment tools like pennies or tees to enhance swing accuracy and how to adapt swings for better ball control. The key takeaway is the importance of hitting the ball solidly and squarely, as this ensures a higher ball speed and reduced spin, which helps the ball pierce through the wind effectively. We also touch on common misconceptions about adjusting stance or shot height and emphasize that without a solid strike, such adjustments may lead to weaker shots. By understanding these principles, golfers can maintain control and confidence on the course, even in windy conditions. (43:19) Putting Strategies for Golf Success This chapter explores the innovative putting technique I introduced, which involves putting towards the fringe rather than directly at the hole. Initially met with skepticism and laughter, this approach soon gained traction as I explained the reasoning behind it. Now, it's a strategy embraced by my entire group, underscoring the value of listening to our show for fresh golfing insights. Additionally, we touch upon playing in the wind and encourage consistent practice to improve skills. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Stats drive scores, but stories stir souls." This philosophy, born in the radio booths of Singapore and driven by a transition from comfort to total disruption, has delivered over $2 billion in transformational impact for global executives.In this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, Chris Shambra sits down with Jay Kiew, a world-renowned keynote speaker, author, and change strategist who has navigated the halls of power at firms like Deloitte and TELUS. But this isn't a conversation about corporate efficiency or digital roadmaps. This is a deep dive into "Change Fluency"—the adaptive capacity to translate life's most difficult disruptions into our greatest opportunities.Jay shares his raw and inspiring journey as a half-blind cancer survivor who "lost it all" before finding his true calling. We explore how change isn't something that happens to you, but something that can happen through you when you move from a mindset of survival to one of co-creation and possibility10 Memorable Quotes:"Stats drive scores, but stories stir souls.""Change fluency is the individual's adaptive capacity to translate challenges into opportunities.""Our greatest innovation isn't what we create, but how we create together.""If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." "The goal isn't to control change but to sit in it with fluidity.""Transformation doesn't have to be scary or happen to you, but instead it can happen through you.""The language of change is the only language that will matter in an era of AI.""He held space for me when I couldn't hold space for myself.""Shift your focus from what is present to what is possible.""The world is going through a hard time, but you can write the playbook to get through it." 10 Key Takeaways:Defining Change Fluency: It is the "language of change" required as we head into the space of artificial intelligence.The Four Change Mindsets: Your reaction to disruption depends on whether you view change as a threat or opportunity, and whether you are proactive or stuck.Active Presence: True leadership requires leaning in to observe non-verbal cues and naming emotions rather than just being a passive observer.The Power of Co-Creation: Based on the concept of Ubuntu, the episode explores why working together yields superior, more sustainable results despite the time and emotional complexity involved.Strategic Foresight: To discover what is possible, leaders must combine scenario planning with "futurist thinking" to see threats and opportunities from different vantage points.Strategy as Sacrifice: Design thinking requires the courage to say "no" and cut off current business units or emotional attachments to focus on one North Star.The "What If?" Framework: Innovation begins with the ability to ask hypothetical questions that challenge current constraints, a skill Jay learned from his father during difficult times.Relational Gratitude: Jay highlights the importance of individuals like Brian Chang, who provide empathetic space during "dark moments" without being deflective.Sitting in the Tension: Change Fluency isn't about control, but the capacity to sit in complexity and uncertainty with fluidity.Human-Centric Innovation: Digital disruption is a people opportunity; leaders must bridge the gap by helping team members find personal attachment to their mission.About our Guest: Jay KiewFounder & CEO, Change FluentJay Kiew is a multifaceted entrepreneur, keynote speaker, author, and expert in organizational and behavioral change. With 15 years of experience in organizational transformation and innovation strategy, he has driven over $2 billion in transformational impact across hundreds of organizations and top executives. He is the author of Change Fluency: Nine Principles to Navigate Uncertainty and Drive Innovation, which serves as the framework for his global consulting and keynote engagements.Jay's perspective on resilience and change is deeply rooted in his personal journey as a half-blind cancer survivor; diagnosed with retinoblastoma as an infant, he underwent the removal of his left eye. After immigrating to Canada from Asia and growing up in Vancouver, he became the world's youngest Distinguished Toastmaster at the age of 19. Today, he is a father of two daughters and lives in Brooklyn with his Shiba Inu, Brooklyn. Jay is renowned for his ability to help leaders move from a mindset of certainty to one of curiosity, teaching them to "speak the language of change" in an increasingly complex and uncertain world.

The central development addressed is the disconnect between rising overall IT spending and the declining channel share for MSPs and IT partners. Dave Sobel, in discussion with an industry analyst, highlights a reduction in indirect channel participation—from over 75% to a projected 66.7% in 2026—primarily due to the concentration of AI infrastructure investment among the largest technology firms. These hyperscalers and their associated CapEx do not translate into traditional channel opportunities, restricting partner involvement to areas outside large-scale AI data center buildouts.Supporting data point to a technological industry projected to reach $6.07 trillion in customer spend, growing at 10.2%, compared to significantly lower world GDP growth. However, almost none of the rapid AI-related CapEx from companies like Nvidia and Google flows down to channel partners, who instead rely on client-facing managed services, advisory, and security service work. The increasing complexity of customer demand—such as the shift toward managed security (15% growth) and AI services (35.3% compounded growth)—further pushes MSPs to focus on services surrounding the core product, rather than on direct product resale or thin margin opportunities.A significant operational shift within the channel also emerges: the distinction between “influence” and “execution” partners. Vendor programs increasingly recognize partner contributions outside of transactional resale, such as co-selling, advisory contributions, and services attached before or after the point of sale. This trend is reinforced as platforms move toward “point systems” and indirect revenue attribution, redefining how MSPs measure channel health and partner value in a more complex, multi-partner environment.For MSPs, IT providers, and decision-makers, the key operational implications are clear. Traditional growth through seat expansion is less reliable as hiring softens, and managed services must focus on multiplier opportunities—profitable service revenue attached to each dollar of product sold. Capturing value requires adapting to changing program structures, emphasizing trusted advisor roles, and collaborating effectively with adjacent partners. Near-term investment in understanding and building pre-sales AI and security services, and tracking evolving vendor economics, is essential for navigating the new realities of partner participation, risk allocation, and long-term business health.

Damir and Sam are joined by Cambridge philosopher Henry Shevlin of the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence for a raucous and rambling conversation about the state of artificial intelligence. Is it about to get conscious, take all of our jobs, and destroy the world? Or is all this industry hype?Henry starts off the conversation asserting that AI already has a kind of “agency,” even if it's not yet the full kind that some skeptics are looking for. Damir and Sam push back on AI's reliability and proclivity to hallucinations, and wonder whether AI can create anything genuinely novel or creative.The conversation turns to autonomy and risk. Can “artificial superintelligence” ever be reached, asks Sam? Henry points to AI coding agents already improving themselves. Damir objects to anthropomorphizing AI and prefers treating these systems as powerful tools capable runaway failures — but nothing more. Henry disagrees, ending the conversation with a plea for AIs getting consideration as moral entities at some point.Required Reading:* “Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies,” by Nick Bostrom (Amazon).* The Creative Mind: Myths and Mechanisms, by Margaret Boden (Amazon).* “Disambiguating Anthropomorphism and Anthropomimesis in Human-Robot Interaction,” by Minja Axelsson and Henry Shevlin (arxiv.org).* “Real Patterns,” by Daniel C.
