Many Amazon sellers from China excel at supply chain and operations, but struggle with branding and Western culture. This episode uncovers the hidden gap and how bridging East and West can change the game.   Join us as we welcome Feng Xiaoxiao, a distinguished leader in the Chinese e-commerce community and a driving force behind 4,000 Amazon sellers in Shenzhen. Known as Professor Xiaoxiao, Feng shares her compelling journey from Shenzhen to New York, where she is currently pursuing a master's in integrated marketing at NYU. Feng provides insightful perspectives on the hurdles Chinese Amazon sellers face, such as high advertising costs and cultural misunderstandings, which impede their efforts to establish robust brands in the U.S. market. Her dedication to bridging these cultural gaps offers a unique lens into the e-commerce challenges faced by both Chinese and American sellers.   Listen in as we explore the complexities of intellectual property (IP) awareness among Chinese sellers, heightened by Amazon's strict IP policies. Through education and adaptation, many are now prioritizing innovation and registering patents, although IP infringement remains a significant issue. We discuss the contrasting strengths of American and Chinese sellers, where Americans shine in innovation and branding, and Chinese sellers excel in product enhancement and cost reduction. This episode also touches on the misconceptions Americans may have about modern China and the potential for cross-cultural learning to enhance e-commerce strategies on platforms like Amazon.   In a fascinating conversation about cross-cultural marketing, we dive into the intersection of Chinese and American e-commerce sellers, emphasizing the necessity of mutual learning. Feng shares success stories and highlights the importance of cultural understanding and aesthetic alignment in improving brand appeal. We also discuss strategies for targeting specific U.S. audiences, using tools like Facebook data to find unique market positions. As we wrap up, the discussion turns to the opportunities for collaboration between Chinese and American sellers, aiming to foster fair competition and mutual growth in the competitive landscape of global e-commerce.   In episode 462 of the AM/PM Podcast, Kevin and Xiaoxiao discuss: 00:00 - Challenges of Chinese Amazon Sellers 02:33 - Global Connections Through Technology 06:20 - Challenges of Building US Brand  14:39 - Chinese Amazon Sellers & IP Infringements 19:01 - Cross-Cultural Marketing in E-Commerce 22:59 - Cultural Influence on Conversion Rates 29:08 - Market Research and Cultural Understanding 33:06 - Marketing Strategies and Consumer Data 37:25 - Reliability of Academic vs AI Data  41:27 - Opportunities for Chinese and American E-Commerce Seller Collaboration 48:01 - Amazon Business Owner Seeks Branding Help 54:07 - Common Ground Between East and West

Send us a textThe transition from college to adulthood has dramatically transformed over recent decades, with financial independence, full-time employment, and independent living occurring much later for today's graduates than their 1980s counterparts. Yet despite these shifting timelines, Sallie Mae's latest research reveals that higher education continues to deliver tremendous value for Gen Z.According to Annat Shrabstein, Senior Director of Consumer Insights & Brand Strategy at Sallie Mae, their "How America Succeeds After College 2025" report uncovers interesting insights about what success truly means for recent graduates. Research reveals a significant shift in how Gen Z defines post-college success, balancing financial health, mental wellbeing, and career satisfaction in a world where traditional adulthood milestones are happening later than ever. The data challenges common assumptions about higher education's value while highlighting critical opportunities to better prepare students for life after graduation.• Only 25% of 21-year-olds in 2021 were financially independent, compared to 42% in 1980• 90% of recent graduates report positive college experiences, with 70% believing education was worth the cost• 74% of grads who used student loans say they would have rather borrowed than not gone to college • Students who use career services are significantly more likely to find jobs in their field• 64% of graduates wish they had fully engaged in all their college had to offer• Having a mentor is the attribute most strongly associated with post-college success• Almost two-thirds of recent graduates are living with parents two years after collegeVisit salliemae.com to access college planning tools including Scholly Scholarship Search, Scout College Search, step-by-step FAFSA guides, and research reports.

In this episode of The Key, Jenny Billings, the program chair of Associate in Arts and division chair of English and study skills at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College in North Carolina tells IHE editor in chief Sara Custer about going through the stages of AI grief –from freaking out, to begrudging acceptance, to working with colleagues to figure out how to respond to eventually creating an institution-wide framework that teaches students how to use AI to enhance their learning. She's seen improvements in retention and confidence among students in the developmental English program at Rowan-Cabarrus after they started using AI and the new model of telling all students how they can use approved AI tools has helped them have more open conversations with their professors.   One of those AI tools is Grammarly and also joining us today is Jenny Maxwell, the head of higher education at Grammarly. She tells us how they're developing tools that flip AI detection products on their heads and encourage students to engage more with their writing before they turn it in.

On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with Li Chenggang in Washington for another round of meetings with American negotiators.

My TA Looks Like a Murderer” Kohberger's Student CALLED Him Out Before Murders! Before Bryan Kohberger was arrested for the murders of four University of Idaho students, he was known to many at Washington State University as a creepy, arrogant teaching assistant. Newly unsealed documents and firsthand student accounts are painting a disturbing picture of what it was like to work under him in the fall of 2022. One student emailed a friend early in the semester with a chilling line: “My TA looks like a murderer.” At the time it was a joke, but weeks later, Kohberger would be in custody for one of the most notorious college-town crimes in recent memory. Students describe Kohberger not as a helpful TA, but as a condescending figure who belittled classmates, made misogynistic and ableist remarks, and seemed obsessed with control. Complaints include him calling a divorced woman “broken” and asking a deaf student if she should even have children. Female students reported him blocking doors, leaning too close, and hovering in ways that felt intimidating. One undergrad was so uncomfortable she had to be escorted home. In just three months, at least 13 formal complaints were filed against him. Some professors even worried aloud that if he became a professor, he would use his authority to harass or stalk students. His arrogance also spilled outside of class, with one peer saying Kohberger bragged in a parking lot for hours about how he could “pick up any woman he wanted.” After the November 13 murders, students noticed Kohberger looked disheveled, avoided talking about the case, and bore cuts and bruises on his hands. At least one student reported those injuries to police. In this video, we take you inside the classrooms and hallways where students experienced Kohberger firsthand — and show how their instincts, complaints, and even jokes now look like warnings in hindsight. #BryanKohberger #Idaho4 #MoscowMurders #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #WSU #TrueCrimeCommunity #BryanKohbergerTA #IdahoCase #CrimeNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A gunman kills two children and injures 17 other children and adults at a Catholic school in Minneapolis during a mass celebrating the first day of school before killing himself. FBI Director Kash Patel says it is being investigated as an act of domestic terrorism and hate crime against Catholics; Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser says the three weeks after President Donald Trump's sent federal law enforcement officers to help fight crime in DC, the crime rate has fallen. She says that shows what could be done if DC were able to hire additional police; Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says his department will take over management of Union Station in Washington from Amtrak as part of the President's moves to reduce crime and homelessness. Duffy says the station has “fallen into disrepair” and it should be a “point of pride” for the city; AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler in a pre-Labor Day "State of the Unions" address criticizes President Trump's policies, saying, “This is the choice working Americans have been given: chaos or the same broken status quo.

Curtis Sliwa, Guardian Angels founder and Republican mayoral candidate, is sounding the alarm on what he calls a “radical Marxist takeover” of New York City if Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani wins the upcoming mayoral election. In a recent interview with political commentator Alan Skorski, Sliwa blasted Mamdani as an “America-hating, cop-bashing, antisemitic socialist” whose policies, he said, would devastate New York's economy and put its Jewish population at risk. “Mamdani has made it clear he wants to defund the police, impose rent control that would collapse our housing market, and even open government-run grocery stores,” Sliwa said, comparing the proposals to failed Soviet-era policies. He also criticized Mamdani's ties to progressive figures including Linda Sarsour and his past role in Students for Justice in Palestine, noting his refusal to condemn the “Globalize the Intifada” slogan. Sliwa, who has campaigned heavily on public safety, argued that Mamdani's platform would embolden crime. He recalled the Guardian Angels' patrols during the Crown Heights riots, urging New York's Jewish community to strengthen its own defense. “There won't always be a Donald Trump in office,” Sliwa warned. “Antisemitism is rising from both the left and right. Jews must stop relying on others for protection.” On housing, Sliwa said he would focus on converting thousands of vacant properties across the city into affordable units, while scrapping congestion pricing and traffic speed cameras he called “nothing more than extra fines.” Sliwa also invoked the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, saying Jews should not flee from antisemitism but remain and “fight for themselves.” Running on both the Republican and “Protect Animals” independent line, Sliwa believes his record as a community organizer and advocate for pet owners will resonate with voters across the city.

Distributed manufacturing allows goods to be produced closer to where they're needed — but enabling that future requires a complete rethink of infrastructure, systems, and workforce development.In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, Dr. Charles Johnson-Bey joins host Matt Kirchner for a deep dive into Engineering the Future of Distributed Manufacturing — the new national report from the Engineering Research Visioning Alliance (ERVA). Charles, a former professor and recently retired Senior Vice President at Booz Allen Hamilton, brings decades of experience in defense, systems engineering, and academia to this conversation.Together, they break down ERVA's five priority areas for enabling distributed manufacturing: modular and reconfigurable infrastructure, digital design tools, edge-to-cloud data systems, workforce education, and new performance metrics. Charles also shares how these priorities came from input across industry, academia, and government — and how they'll guide research, funding, and education in the years ahead.Listen to learn: What distributed manufacturing actually looks like in practice — and why it matters nowWhy “digital twins + AI” are critical for linking design, production, and data-driven decision-makingThe essential role of public infrastructure in enabling connectivity and access for all communitiesWhy proximity to advanced tools like a digital twin or a cyber-physical testbed is essential for scaling distributed manufacturing3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Distributed manufacturing is a modular approach to resilient, tech-enabled production. Charles defines distributed manufacturing as a system where production assets can be easily moved, reconfigured, and localized closer to the point of need. He describes how smaller, agile, and digitally connected systems—like reconfigurable machines and regional testbeds—enable manufacturing to respond to disruptions, like the ones exposed during COVID-19.2. The workforce of the future needs digital fluency—and systems thinking. Students must be prepared not only to operate new technologies, but to understand how those technologies interact within broader systems. Charles highlights the importance of human-machine teaming, digital twins, and cyber-physical testbeds, and calls for education that helps learners “fall in love with the rigor” of complex technical work.3. America's manufacturing strategy must include small and mid-sized firms. Charles points out that most manufacturers in the U.S. are small to mid-sized, yet lack access to advanced infrastructure and scalable tools. He argues that national strategies must focus on democratizing technology—making AI, automation, and data systems affordable and available to all levels of the manufacturing sector.Resources in this Episode:Read the ERVA Report: Engineering the Future of Distributed ManufacturingLearn more about ERVAFollow Charles on LinkedInVisit the episode page for more!We want to hear from you!

First, it's National Toilet Paper Day! So we talk about how we will celebrate... Then, what happens when a school district shifts from traditional math instruction to collaborative learning? Holly McCarty, Coordinator of Curriculum Instruction at Shawnee Mission School District in Kansas, takes us behind the scenes of their successful CPM implementation journey.When Holly joined Shawnee Mission—a district serving 25,000 students across five high schools, five middle schools, and 34 elementary schools—she brought a vision for transforming mathematics instruction. Her goal was clear: move away from passive note-taking toward active learning environments where students develop lasting understanding through collaboration and problem-solving.The implementation story offers valuable insights for any district considering curriculum change. Rather than mandating adoption across all classrooms simultaneously, Holly invited teacher teams who were ready and willing to pioneer the approach. This organic strategy created momentum as educators across all five high schools voluntarily chose to implement CPM with their Integrated Math courses.What makes this story particularly compelling are the results. Holly shares a powerful anecdote about a high school student who, at the end of a Friday afternoon class, asked, "Can we do this again sometime? I was really engaged in what we were doing." Students have recognized the value of collaborative learning, with one noting that working together in teams "is just like real life."Teachers report feeling more energized teaching with CPM than with traditional methods. The curriculum provides comprehensive resources to implement research-based instructional strategies without the exhausting hunt for quality materials that often burns educators out.Whether you're a mathematics leader considering curriculum changes, a teacher curious about collaborative learning approaches, or an administrator supporting instructional shifts, this episode offers practical wisdom about implementation, professional development, and creating classrooms where both students and teachers thrive in their mathematical journey.Send Joel and Misty a message!The More Math for More People Podcast is produced by CPM Educational Program.

When it comes to preparing teens for college and life beyond the classroom, two unique perspectives come together in a powerful way. Shelley Howard, host of Parents: Is Your Teen College Ready?, sat down with former student turned coach Hunter Thompson to explore the challenges today's students face and how intentional coaching can make all the difference. Shelley focuses primarily on the college prep process—applications, essays, and everything that helps students get admitted to the right schools. Hunter, on the other hand, works with young people on the deeper skills: resilience, self-awareness, and character development that sustain success long after the acceptance letter arrives.Hunter's story is both relatable and inspiring. A star golfer in high school, he went on to play college golf in Florida, even serving as team captain. But by his sophomore year, he realized that golf was not a sustainable career path. This realization triggered an identity crisis, forcing him to ask tough questions about who he was outside of sports. His curiosity led him into philosophy and finance, and eventually to one of his greatest breakthroughs: overcoming a fear of public speaking in a college speech class. That moment of facing his fears lit a spark. Within three years, Hunter founded the Thompson Coaching Company, delivered a TEDx talk, hosted live events, and built a growing practice centered on helping students navigate their own journeys.The challenges students face today are uniquely complex. From limitless choices and information overload to constant comparison on social media, many young people struggle with overwhelm, anxiety, and even depression. Add in the generational disconnect—parents raised in a pre-smartphone world guiding kids who live with 24/7 digital access—and the gap only widens. Hunter points out that one of the biggest missing pieces is accessible accountability partners who truly understand the pressures of this generation.Hunter's coaching philosophy centers on resilience and self-discovery. He believes that voluntarily facing hard things builds the mental and emotional muscle to overcome future challenges. His work with students isn't about handing out answers; instead, he guides them with questions, helping them uncover their own values, strengths, weaknesses, and aspirations. The goal is for students to build confidence and sustainable habits while parents stay informed and supported through regular updates and collaboration.But how do you know if a student might benefit from coaching? Often, the signs show up in everyday conflicts: resistance to basic routines, parent-child arguments, missed assignments, or disengagement. Parents' intuition is key, especially in recognizing that today's stressors are unlike those of past generations.Hunter structures his programs with flexibility, offering three-, six-, and nine-month options depending on a student's readiness and goals. Sessions are highly personalized—sometimes starting with something as simple as creating a consistent morning routine, other times focusing on helping athletes reframe how they process feedback. Parents are included in the journey, and tools like personality assessments may be used to align coaching strategies with student needs.To illustrate, Hunter shared a few common coaching scenarios. For the overwhelmed student, narrowing focus and reducing decision fatigue helps strengthen commitment. For disengaged students, identifying intrinsic interests and connecting tasks to a personal “why” reignites motivation. And for students struggling with feedback, he reframes critiques as opportunities, guiding them through targeted practice to rebuild confidence.Shelley and Hunter's conversation highlights a powerful truth: preparing teens for the future isn't just about academics or college acceptance. It's about equipping them with the mindset, habits, and resilience to thrive in an unpredictable world. Coaching, when done right, becomes not just guidance for the student—but a partnership that uplifts the whole family.HighlightsTwo experts, two perspectives: Shelley Howard guides families through the college prep process, while Hunter Thompson helps students build life skills, resilience, and character.Hunter's personal transformation: From college golf captain to facing an identity crisis, overcoming fear of public speaking, and ultimately launching a thriving coaching company.Modern student struggles: Overwhelm, anxiety, depression, identity confusion, and the generational disconnect with parents raised in a pre-digital era.Coaching approach: Resilience through hard tasks, guided self-discovery, and collaborative support for both students and parents.Program design: Personalized one-on-one coaching, available in 3-, 6-, and 9-month formats, tailored to individual needs and readiness.Key InsightsFacing fears builds resilience – Hunter's journey shows that growth often comes from stepping directly into discomfort.Students need accountability partners – Many lack mentors attuned to the pressures of social media, instant gratification, and limitless choices.Parents' intuition matters – Recognizing small signs of conflict or disengagement can be an early signal that coaching support is needed.Self-discovery drives lasting motivation – Helping students uncover values, strengths, and a personal “why” leads to greater independence and confidence.Coaching supports the whole family – Effective coaching balances direct student support with parent collaboration, reducing friction and building trust at home.Connect with Shellee Howard: WebsiteYouTubeInstagram  LinkedIn  Connect with Hunter Thomas: WebsiteYouTubeInstagram  LinkedIn 

Today on the PBL Simplified for Administrators podcast we have Ashley Curtin. Ashley is a district coach in Calvert County Maryland working with PBL teachers. The PBL initiative started in social studies to increase engagement and has spread across the district. Ashley is now under Career Technical Education (CTE) funding and is building relationships with CTE instructors. She connects teachers and suggests collaborations. A key to her approach is meeting people where they are at with their mindset and comfort level with PBL. PBL Unit Examples Eighth Grade Science & Culinary Arts: An eighth-grade science teacher developed a project about invasive species, initially thinking about a cookbook. The project shifted to educating the public about invasive fish in the Chesapeake Bay and Puxon River. Students created posters, social media posts, and websites with QR codes to educate the community. Culinary program seniors developed recipes for invasive fish, which were judged in a "Chopped" style competition. The eighth graders then featured these recipes on their websites and in their outreach materials. The project culminated in presentations to community partners, including the Department of Agriculture and local restaurant owners. Third Grade Storybook Project: A third-grade team created storybooks about different regions of the United States. The project integrated science, social studies, and ELA standards. Students recorded themselves reading the books, which were accessed via QR codes in the front covers. They sold the books to families, and the project culminated in an author signing event with over 150 attendees. Roses, Buds, and Thorns Rose (What's going well): The shift to CTE funding is a big win. CTE programs already have authenticity, so the focus is on infusing pedagogical practices and PBL structures. Bud (Promising practices): PBL is now a strategic goal for the district. There is work with math instructors, and an effort to reimagine education with PBL. The adaptability of the PBL framework is allowing it to take shape in different ways. Thorn (Challenges): Ashley's capacity to support the growing PBL movement is limited. There is a need to convince more decision-makers to invest in PBL and create core leadership positions. Some teachers who signed up for training are reluctant to fully embrace the PBL mindset and implementation. Ashley wants to encourage these teachers without making them feel like they are being dragged along. Addressing the Challenges (Thorns) Capacity: The need for more resources and core leaders in buildings and across grade levels/content areas is a significant challenge. Hesitant Teachers: Invite teachers to observe successful PBL classrooms. Invite teachers to participate in tuning protocols. Provide opportunities for collaborative support and reflection. Share a PBL newsletter to highlight best practices and provide resources. Highlight teachers and their work in a positive way in order to give them affirmation. Getting Administrative Buy-In Track data like student engagement, attendance, and discipline to show the impact of PBL. Share positive stories from PBL classrooms with principals to improve community perception of the school. Promote the idea of training coaches to implement PBL in individual schools. Highlight that educators can learn from their own colleagues and don't necessarily need to travel to conferences. Optimism about Education PBL is re-engaging teachers and showing them the power of their work. It shifts teachers' views of students, moving away from negative assumptions. PBL has the power to transform education and engage students long after the project is over. Conclusion Ashley is bringing hope and joy to the teaching profession through PBL. The podcast encourages teachers to rate and review the show. PBL is helping teachers teach the way they have always wanted to teach.

#211Do your students know exactly what they can do in the target language? If you asked them right now, could they tell you their current proficiency level and the specific skills they're working toward? In my experience, when students understand the proficiency path, they take ownership of their progress in a very meaningful and personal way. In this episode, I share how I help students visualize and track their growth using a Path to Proficiency Wall and how you can do the same in your classroom.Topics in this Episode: make  proficiency levels clear and student-friendlyhow to use text type and functions to explain growthdesign a Path to Proficiency Wall for your classroomhelp students self-assess and set goalsuse the wall to guide family and student conversationshow shift feedback toward leveling up instead of gradesSee an example and get your own Proficiency Path A Few Ways We Can Work Together:Ready For Tomorrow Quick Win PD for Individual TeachersOn-Site or Virtual Workshops for Language DepartmentsSelf-Paced Program for For Language DepartmentsConnect With Me & The World Language Classroom Community:Website: wlclassrom.comInstagram:  @wlclassroomFacebook Group: World Language ClassroomFacebook:  /wlclassroomLinkedIn: Joshua CabralBluesky: /wlclassroom.bsky.sociaX (Twitter):  @wlclassroomThreads: @wlclassroomSend me a text and let me know your thoughts on this episode or the podcast.
