In this episode of Scam Rangers, Ayelet Biger-Levin joins Kate Griffin, Director of Inclusive Finance at the Aspen Institute, to discuss the monumental work of the National Task Force on Fraud and Scam Prevention. Over the past year, Griffin has led a diverse coalition of 80 institutions, ranging from financial giants like JPMorgan Chase and Capital One to tech leaders like Google, Meta, and Apple, to develop a unified strategy against the global scam epidemic.Griffin pulls back the curtain on the "ambitiously pragmatic" approach required to bring competitors and government agencies to the same table. She explores the delicate balance of inclusive finance, explaining how fraud prevention measures can inadvertently create barriers for low-income households. The conversation covers the task force's strategic decision to bypass the "blame game" of liability to focus on immediate prevention, the role of cross-sector information sharing, and the emergence of the Southeast Asian Scam Center Strike Force. This episode provides a high-level look at how policy, private sector action, and human values are converging to dismantle the business model of modern scammers.Key Takeaways: A New Era of Cross-Sector Collaboration The "Yes And" Moment: Griffin highlights that while progress in private sector investment and government policy is worth celebrating, the fight requires sustained, concerted action across the entire scam lifecycle. Neutral Facilitation: The Aspen Institute's role as a neutral third party allowed for "hard conversations" between sectors like telcos and banks that often point fingers at one another. Bipartisan Momentum: Fraud has become a rare point of total bipartisan agreement in Washington; the scammers "do not ask who you voted for," leading to the creation of the Stop Scams Caucus in Congress. The Scam Lifecycle Framework: The task force's recommendations are organized around the scam lifecycle, focusing on suppressing activity, disrupting infrastructure, and empowering victims through better response and support. Pragmatic Policy: The episode details how the task force's work influenced the U.S.'s first-ever national strategy for financial inclusion and continues to brief Capitol Hill on drafting future anti-scam legislation.For more information about the task force visit: https://fraudtaskforce.aspeninstitute.org/Read the national strategy document: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/671a80aa4a84f2359ce4d360/t/690e1fe9c5c80642162575a5/1762533353206/FraudTFReport_Digital_Final+%282%29.pdfFollow Kate Griffin on LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/katedgriffin/About the HostAyelet Biger-Levin is the Founder and CEO of RangersAI and the host of Scam Rangers, a podcast exploring the human side of scams and the people working to protect consumers from financial and emotional harm.Through her work at RangersAI and her leadership within the Global Anti-Scam Alliance, Ayelet partners with financial institutions, policymakers, and advocates to elevate scam prevention beyond controls and technology toward trust-based, customer-centric protection.Be sure to follow her on LinkedIn and reach out to learn about her additional activities in this space:https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayelet-biger-levin/RangersAI: https://www.rangersai.com/

Here are the questions I would ask this genocide complicit human.

A company has been fined $60,000 after it repeatedly sold electronics, including Bluetooth speakers and a tablet to an elderly woman even though they knew she was suffering from dementia and could not use the goods.

In this episode of Adulting with Autism, I sit down with Tara May, CEO of AspiriTech, a tech company with 90% autistic employees doing QA, cybersecurity, and data services across the country. What started at a kitchen table is now a $6M company proving what autistic talent can actually do when workplaces are designed differently. Tara and I talk honestly about: Why autistic adults are still massively underemployed—and why that's a business failure, not a talent issue How AspiriTech rethinks "disability" and centers strengths instead of deficits What employers get wrong about accommodations (and why most cost nothing) How autistic job seekers can advocate for themselves without burning out Why parents don't need to panic when their autistic kid wants a nontraditional career Free, real-world pathways into cybersecurity and tech for autistic adults This is not inspiration porn. This is a real conversation about work, burnout, systems, and what actually works for autistic adults navigating employment. If you're autistic, a parent, an employer, or someone tired of being told to "just try harder," this episode is for you.

In 2001, in the nascent days of the internet, activists came together to wrestle with a growing challenge, the impacts of an increasingly corporatized media ecosystem on communities of color. They set out to intervene in media and tech practices that harm people of color and reimagined how these sectors could better represent the aspirations of local communities. This led to the founding, in 2009, of Media Justice, an organizing, education and field building organization that has generated significant wins, from passage of the nation's first facial recognition ban to another first, limiting the rates that families of incarcerated people could be charged for phone calls. As Steven Renderos, my exceptional guest on this episode of Power Station explains, where 25 years ago the villains dominating the field were Clear Channel and Comcast, they are now the tech oligarchy, billionaires whose influence is weakening our democracy and extracting local resources. But the public, in these harrowing times, is waking up and taking action. First-time protesters are showing up at public hearings to speak out against the economic and environmental harms of data centers. And Media Justice is powering their activism, developing leaders and connecting them across our nation.

This week's Book Club podcast deals with attention: what it is, why it is in crisis, how it came to be the biggest business in the world, and how we can resist the tech juggernaut that is destroying it. I am joined by two co-authors of the new book Attensity!: A Manifesto of the Attention Liberation Movement. They tell me why the ‘attention economy' would be better termed ‘human fracking', and how the problem is so much more than can be solved by a new year's resolution or more restrictions on screen time.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

In episode #344 of SaaS Metrics School, Ben Murray shares insights from his research into how public tech companies define and disclose ARR in press releases and SEC filings. By analyzing U.S. and global public companies, Ben identifies common ARR “buckets” and explains how different revenue models influence what gets included in ARR.

Why are tech companies really laying off developers? The uncomfortable truth has nothing to do with AI efficiency and everything to do with running out of ideas.In this episode, Stephan Schmidt, CTO coach and author of “The Amazing CTO's Missing Manual,” shares a perspective on AI adoption that most tech leaders aren't talking about. Developer layoffs aren't about AI replacing jobs; they reveal a deeper problem. Product management has become a bottleneck, creating shallow features just to keep developers busy rather than driving meaningful innovation. When AI accelerates development, this bottleneck becomes impossible to ignore.Stephan explains why architecture must be AI-ready before teams can benefit from AI tools, how CTOs can manage unrealistic business expectations, and why junior developers actually have a massive opportunity right now. He also challenges the common belief that vibe coding will democratize software development, explaining why you need to be a strong developer to prompt effectively.Key topics discussed:Why AI layoffs reveal companies ran out of good ideasArchitecture must be AI-ready for real productivity gainsVibe coding only works if you're already a strong developerProduct engineering roles will replace traditional developersMCP connections unlock AI value beyond code generationJuniors have huge advantage as AI-native engineersIterate on plans, not prompts, when using AI toolsCTOs can finally “rise and shine” using AI strategicallyTimestamps:(00:00) Trailer & Intro(03:19) How do companies become truly AI-first?(04:13) How should CTOs manage unrealistic AI velocity expectations?(08:35) AI Use Cases Beyond Code Generation(12:04) What is MCP and how does it unlock AI value?(15:04) Why Developers Resist AI Adoption(18:35) Are AI layoffs caused by a lack of product innovation?(21:22) What is the future for junior developers in the age of AI?(24:36) Critical Thinking and Moving Up the Abstraction Layer(27:24) Vibe Coding: Benefits and Pitfalls(31:59) What is the difference between a Developer and a Product Engineer?(35:59) Building an Effective AI Adoption Strategy(38:06) AI Adoption Strategy for Development Teams(40:44) Avoiding the AI Tech Zoo(44:48) How do tech leaders handle AI data privacy and security?(50:31) How is the CTO role changing in 2026?(57:23) 3 Tech Lead WisdomLike this episode?Show notes & transcript: techleadjournal.dev/episodes/243.Follow @techleadjournal on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram.Buy me a coffee or become a patron.

And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Ryan Rottman, the hardest thing in growing a small business is knowing when to pivot. He emphasizes listening closely to customers, recognizing early signs that something isn't working, and having the courage to change direction before wasting too much time, money, and energy on the wrong path. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Ryan Rottman's favorite business book that's helped him the most is "The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries — he often says its principles of rapid testing, validated learning, and iterative growth were game-changers in how he approached building and scaling Athlete Agent. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Ryan Rottman recommends learning from practical, founder-led resources, especially podcasts like How I Built This, Masters of Scale, and The Tim Ferriss Show for real stories on growth, resilience, and decision-making, along with hands-on platforms like Y Combinator Startup School and HubSpot Academy for actionable lessons that help small businesses scale smarter.

According to Ryan Rottman, his advice to himself on day one would be to focus intently on what customers actually need, not on your own initial vision. He would stress communicating with concise clarity to earn quicker and more meaningful responses. He recommends building a firm but fair management style by setting clear expectations from the beginning. Additionally, he advises pivoting decisively when the data shows a need, rather than delaying out of pride. Finally, he emphasizes developing a resilient mindset to withstand rejection and persevere through challenges.

New Year Same Bullshit...actually worse. Nothing like kicking off 2026 with an unhinged Trump kidnapping a foreign leader for oil. Nice.  Topics for the show: There used to be rules for this shit. The US's foreign wars and policy has always been problematic but there used to be some sort of process and at least attempt to go through the proper channels. This has completely deteriorated over the last 2 decades and we end up with the mess Trump just created The US isn't on a way to becoming a surveillance state...it already is one...thanks to private companies like Flock Safety If you're gonna spy on people the least you could do would be to secure the cameras so anyone could watch them...right? Politico's interview with Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley shows how absolutely terrible these CEOs are Denver's city council votes to cancel it's contract with Flock Safety only to be overruled by the mayor Apparently if you point out and track Flock cameras you're now a terrorist organization Pay Day loans are back and worse than ever Bonus....Tech Companies have found more loopholes around anti-trust laws by just entering licensing agreements then hiring all the people from the company they want to acquire.

When it comes to homebuilding, Ronda Conger, vice president of CBH Homes, wants to be like the Savannah Bananas.“We are out there trying to do things so differently,” she said. “It's one of the reasons we embraced AI so quickly.”But there are growing fears that artificial intelligence will begin to replace human employees. For Conger's team, the bots are doing the grunt work, so the real humans can shine.

In this episode of Founder Talk, I sit down with Ryan Walsh, a drone industry veteran operating at the intersection of advanced technology, regulation, and global competition. We dive into what it really takes to build a tech company in heavily regulated industries, how drone innovation fell behind in the U.S., and what the growing conversation around UAPs reveals about advanced aerospace technology and how little the public actually understands about it.Ryan shares firsthand perspective from operating across global markets, including why Asia moved faster in drone adoption, how regulation shapes innovation more than founders expect, and what it really means to build hardware businesses where timelines and risk look very different from software. We also talk about the long, uncomfortable middle of entrepreneurship: sunk costs, delayed momentum, and the discipline required to keep going when results aren't immediate.We also explore the growing conversation around UAPs and what it reveals about how new technologies are misunderstood long before they're accepted. Ryan offers a grounded take on why many UAP sightings are likely tied to advanced aerospace and drone technology, and what that disconnect teaches founders about perception, narrative, and trust.You'll learn:✅ Why regulation and policy often matter more than the technology itself✅ How founders decide when to persist versus walk away✅ What drones, robotics, and AI signal about the future of logistics✅ Why UAP discussions highlight how society misunderstands new tech✅ How patience, discipline, and mission compound over timeIf you're building anything complex, regulated, or capital-intensive, this episode offers an honest look at the realities most founders never hear about.Connect with Ryan WalshGuest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan--walsh/Guest Website: https://www.valqari.com/If you are a B2B company that wants to build your own in-house content team instead of outsourcing your content to a marketing agency, we may be a fit for you!

In this episode of ThimbleberryU, we explore a fundamental question for professionals in tech: Which type of company is the right fit for your current stage in life and career? Whether it's a startup, a pre-IPO company, or a public corporation, each environment offers its own opportunities, challenges, and financial implications. Jag walks through the trade-offs with Amy Walls of Thimbleberry Financial, breaking down not only what to expect at each stage but also how to make a decision that aligns with our values, personality, and financial goals.We begin by examining the startup world—fast-paced, creative, and filled with uncertainty. It's a space for people who love to experiment and thrive in ambiguity. The upside can be big: ownership, impact, and equity at low initial prices. But the downsides—unpredictable income, fewer benefits, and emotional strain—are just as real. Amy shares stories of clients who initially thrived in startup life but found it incompatible with long-term needs like family time or structured days.Next, we shift to pre-IPO companies, which often represent a middle ground. These firms offer more stability than startups but still retain a sense of mission and momentum. Equity typically comes in the form of RSUs, and while there's real potential for financial gain, it hinges heavily on IPO timing—something employees can't always control. Amy emphasizes the importance of planning for delays, setting aside cash, and staying flexible when managing that equity.Public companies offer clarity and predictability—stable salaries, strong benefits, and slower but more structured growth paths. For professionals seeking balance, or with greater family or financial obligations, this environment often provides the support and stability they need. The culture tends to be more formal, but that predictability can actually empower people to do their best work.Ultimately, the conversation centers around fit—not which company is best, but which is best for us, right now. Personality, financial goals, and life stage all play a role. A startup might make sense early in a career, while a more structured setting could become the right choice later on. Amy reminds us that romanticizing a company type—or even our own preferences—can lead us astray, and encourages getting honest feedback from those who know us best.We wrap by reinforcing that job decisions should balance financial and emotional fit. Before accepting an offer, it's critical to understand the equity structure, total compensation, pace of work, and company culture. Especially in today's tight job market, doing our due diligence can prevent long-term regret and position us to thrive both professionally and personally.00:00 - Intro and Episode Setup  00:49 - Startup Culture: Opportunity vs. Chaos  03:19 - Pre-IPO Companies: Growth with Guardrails  06:08 - Public Companies: Structure and Stability  09:27 - It's About Fit: Personality and Life Stage  11:43 - Culture, Pace, and Real-Life Trade-offs  13:43 - When the Job Market is Tight  14:17 - Takeaways: Equity, Compensation, and Culture  16:44 - How to Connect with Thimbleberry Financial  16:57 - Disclaimer and Wrap-Up    To get in touch with Amy and her team at Thimbleberry Financial, call 503-610-6510 or visit thimbleberryfinancial.com.

In episode #334, Ben Murray breaks down how leading public SaaS and tech companies are reporting AI-driven value creation across their earnings calls. After analyzing more than 130 public tech earnings transcripts, Ben identifies five consistent themes in how incumbents communicate AI monetization, margin impact, revenue growth, and operational transformation to Wall Street. These insights are critical for private SaaS and AI founders who want to understand how to position their own AI value story for Boards, investors, and future fundraising. As AI moves beyond the hype cycle, companies must clearly demonstrate monetization, adoption, and financial impact—not just vision and roadmap. Why It Matters Understanding how public companies frame AI value creation helps private founders avoid vague positioning and instead adopt investor-grade communication. These themes influence: Board reporting Fundraising narratives ARR and revenue forecasting Financial modeling Unit economics and cost structure decisions Long-term valuation strategy As AI transitions from hype to monetization to full transformation, founders must adapt how they report AI's contribution to performance and financial outcomes.

It was a sad holiday in Washington D.C. as two members of the National Guard we're shot by an Afghan national. Sarah Beckstrom was just 20 years old and lost her life while serving voluntarily so other could be home with their families. Andrew Wolfe is 24 years old and fighting for his life after being shot multiple times. President Trump has been in contact with both families and expressed his condolences on this tragic loss. The State department has now paused all asylum applicants and visas for Afghans. The liberal media went back to calling him a "racist" for trying to protect American citizens. The Biden administration let in millions of unvetted and unchecked illegal immigrants to the country and President Trump is doing everything he can to keep American citizens safe. Another deranged lunatic was let free in Chicago by Democratic policies. Bethany McGee was riding the L train when she set on fire by a man with 72 arrests and 8 felonies. It is hauntingly similar to Iryna Zarutska's tragic death in Charlotte by another career criminal. These Democratic run cities and states rage when President Trump sends in the National Guard, yet when it comes to the safety of their own citizens they don't seem to care.
