On the podcast, Will Zank speaks with Chad Paalman, CEO of NuWave Technology Partners. Chad faced the unexpected early in life. In high school, he suffered an injury causing him not to be able to join the air force dashing a lifelong dream. This problem led him to go to college and become the entrepreneur he is today.

Crypto used to be the counterculture currency of choice. Giving participants an alternative to the centralized monetary systems of nations, cryptocurrency allowed those in the know a way to transact and invest without the use of fiat currency. But in recent years, cryptocurrency has emerged from the realm of alternative investments and found its place in the world of mainstream finance. And with so many platforms offering retail and commercial customers a way in, banks of all sizes are seeing an opportunity to tap into this rapidly growing market.In today's episode of financial futures, we speak with head of new business strategy for America's banking solutions at FIS, Fiaz Sindhu. We examine the past and present of cryptocurrency and ask what opportunities the tech poses for the future of regional banking. We'll find out how this once alternative financial product has made its way into the mainstream, attracting both private and corporate interest. And we'll explore the ways in which regional banks can adopt decentralized finance and discover what they need to do in order to serve their own crypto clientele.We'll also ask: What is happening in the world of cryptocurrency and what does the future look like? Who is driving crypto adoption and why are customers so excited about it? What are the cultural, technological, and regulatory considerations banks need to make when adopting cryptocurrency? How can regional banks determine what their own customers' crypto needs are? Who can banks turn to for guidance on how to implement cryptocurrency solutions?

In this episode of “Automation Chat” from The Journal From Rockwell Automation and Our PartnerNetwork magazine, Executive Editor Theresa Houck discusses the gray market — products sold legally, but outside of the brand's permission. This isn't an issue limited to just Rockwell Automation; it applies to all industrial automation suppliers. What's the difference between an Authorized Distributor and the gray market? Are counterfeit products really a big problem? And how can you tell if a product is counterfeit — or can you? What's the harm in buying refurbished or used parts and equipment from an “unauthorized” source? Theresa chats with Ryan Smaglik, Head of Revenue and Brand Protection at Rockwell Automation. He's well-versed on what's happening in the gray market, the risks of acquiring products through an unsecured supply chain, the ramifications those products can have for users, and examples of bad experiences customers have had. You'll find his insights to be eye-opening. And of course, get your family-friendly, silly Joke of the Day.

Supplier diversity is a business strategy that ensures a diverse supplier base in the procurement of goods and services for any business or organization. Research show that companies that embrace diversity are more profitable than companies that don’t. “On average, supplier diversity programs add $3.6M to the bottom line for every $1M in procurement operation costs” according to a 2015 study by The Hackett Group. The high return on investment is undeniable! Monsanto embraces and is strongly committed to inclusion and diversity in all areas of its business. To affirm this strategy with its suppliers, in 2014, they formally launched their “Growing Together” Initiative in the form of their Supplier Diversity Mentoring Program. This is a 12-month development program which includes mentoring from Monsanto’s executive leadership team, on-site training sessions with their subject matter experts, assessment evaluations and access to an external professional coach! Wow! The goal is to develop diverse certified suppliers who have the ability, capacity and skills necessary to grow their business in profitability, business development and business management skills. Today, we have joining us, Dr. Damion Jones, Global Director of Diversity and Inclusion and Daphanie Pointer, North American Supplier Diversity Lead and creator of this new mentoring program. We are also joined by 2 recent graduates of this program—Mercedes Enrique, President, CMS Corporation and Lisa Nichols, CEO, Technology Partners.
