In this episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon sits down with Justin Gottlieb - a sexual freedom coach, Tantra practitioner, and retreat host who transitioned from the corporate world to full-time facilitation. Together, they unpack what Tantra really is (and isn't), how to maintain integrity in intimate retreat settings, and why it's time for more men to step into leadership roles in the wellness and retreat space. Justin shares how he and his co-facilitator Leola create transformational retreats rooted in safety, consent, and empowerment - and how they've built a sustainable retreat business model that honors both healing and profitability. If you've ever been curious about Tantra, gender balance in leadership, or how to elevate the professionalism of your retreat business, this episode is a must-listen.   Key Takeaways Tantra is more than sexuality - it's about energy, presence, and deep personal growth through mindfulness, breathwork, and embodiment. Safety and consent are non-negotiable: Justin and Leola's application and interview process ensures aligned participants and safe group dynamics. Professionalism matters: Transparent communication with venues and strong operational systems allow facilitators to focus on transformation instead of logistics. Masculine–feminine balance: Co-facilitation across genders can create more grounded and powerful retreat experiences. Retreats as a real business: Pricing, screening, and intentional marketing are essential to attract committed clients and avoid burnout.

How can AI actually increase donor trust rather than erode it? In this conversation, Bennett Weiner (President & CEO, BBB Wise Giving Alliance) speaks with Jeremy Kirshbaum (Founder, Handshake) and Ezra Vázquez-D'Amico (Director of Digital Partnerships & Strategy, BBB Wise Giving Alliance) about AskGive—Give.org's AI Powered Donor Advisor that helps people make wise, trust-centered giving decisions using Give.org's vetted resources.  To draw out broader lessons on AI for the charitable sector, we cover why AskGive was built, how brand-safe AI is different from a generic chatbot, and what's next (structured charity data for cause-based discovery) while keeping donors—not algorithms in the decision seat. Key takeaways - Trust by design: AskGive only draws from Give.org's vetted content (charity reports, standards, advice), aligning AI answers with BBB Charity Standards and avoiding unverified sources. - Brand-safe AI is not the same as a generic chatbot: Tone, accuracy, and “no ranking charities” guardrails were co-designed with staff (from subject experts to frontline donor support) to reflect Give.org's culture. - Help donors act, don't decide for them: The tool surfaces facts, standards results, and advice—then puts the final choice back in the donor's hands. - Cause-based discovery for new donors: Younger/values-driven givers can start with “I want to support animal welfare” and move into credible options without already knowing a charity's name. - The Path From 70% to 100%: Spinning up a chatbot is easy; getting to on-brand, brand-safe, reliable, repeatable guidance takes custom work, evaluation checklists, and ongoing monitoring. - What's next for AskGive: Structured data queries (e.g., “Show me five BBB Accredited environmental charities in my state”) to give donors more relevant, self-directed ways to explore. Why this matters for nonprofit professionals and people who care about social good  - Practical AI path: Start small with mission-critical content, define tone/guardrails, and set evaluation criteria early. - Trust signals win: Transparent sourcing and standards-aligned answers reduce friction for donors and strengthen credibility. - Human-centered by default: Keep people in the loop—let AI inform, not decide.

Are you struggling to retain top sales talent because your team members can't find meaning in their work? The secret isn't just about hitting revenue targets—it's about building a purpose-driven organization that attracts exceptional people and creates lasting value.      In this episode, I sit down with Enrique Alvarez, co-founder and managing director of Vector Global Logistics, to explore how purpose and profit can coexist in high-performance sales organizations. Enrique shares his unique approach to building a global sales team that operates on three core pillars, including their groundbreaking Results-Only Work Environment and complete transparency policy. From Transactional to Transformational Vector Global Logistics has cracked the code on shifting from short-term transactional relationships to long-term transformational partnerships. Enrique reveals their comprehensive hiring process, including how they identify candidates who can build authentic relationships rather than just close deals quickly. You'll discover their unconventional approach to transparency, including sharing everyone's salaries, company financials, and decision-making processes with the entire team. This radical openness creates trust and empowers sales professionals to make better decisions for both customers and the company. AI Integration with Human Connection We explore how Vector Global Logistics leverages AI tools while maintaining the human touch that drives real relationships. Enrique shares practical examples of using AI for customs entries, tracking shipments, and market analysis—all while ensuring their sales team focuses on what AI can't do: building genuine personal connections. The conversation covers the critical balance between automation and personalization, and why rushing to implement AI without human oversight can damage the very relationships that drive long-term success. Building Global Sales Teams With team members across China, Vietnam, India, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Ukraine, and beyond, Enrique provides insights into managing a truly global sales organization. He shares their panel interview process, the importance of cultural fit, and why they prioritize entrepreneurs over traditional salespeople. Here's what you can expect to gain from this episode: •    A framework for attracting top talent through purpose-driven company culture •    Strategies for building transformational client relationships instead of transactional ones   •    Practical approaches to integrating AI while maintaining authentic human connections •    Methods for creating transparency that builds trust and improves performance •    Insights into managing and scaling global sales teams effectively Whether you're a sales leader looking to reduce turnover, a business owner wanting to build a more meaningful organization, or a sales professional seeking to create deeper client relationships, this conversation provides actionable strategies for long-term success.

Now confirmed by the release notes of a Windows Update And the Dev channel will soon switch over to 26H1 testing, with Beta moving to 25H2 (from 24H2) Expectations? All three versions will be functionally identical except for some Copilot+ PC-specific features that may be briefly only on Snapdragon X2. And then there will be a 26H2 for everyone More Windows 11 Microsoft (over) simplifies its Windows Update naming scheme, and then has to backtrack a bit because of admin/IT backlash October Preview Update screwed up Task Manager a little bit Dev/Beta update noted above included a new build with Ask Copilot in the Taskbar, Full-screen experience for Xbox gaming handhelds, Shared audio over Bluetooth LE in preview, and improvements to the WOA Prism emulator (which partially explains the expectations bit above) Microsoft Edge password manager can now save and sync passkeys, but you should still use a third-party password/identity manager Microsoft Store gets a bulk installer but only on the web Earnings learnings Microsoft earnings: Revenues up 18 percent to $77.7 billion but cost of AI is spiraling out of control and will only get bigger this FY Productivity and Business Processes revenues up 17 percent YOY to $33 billion Intelligent Cloud revenues of $30.9 billion, a gain of 28 percent YOY More Personal Computing delivered $13.8 billion in revenues, up 4 percent YOY.

Jon Bassford underscores the vital role of curiosity in today's rapidly evolving business landscape. He emphasizes that operational curiosity—an ongoing willingness to evaluate and refine workflows—is key to thriving amid challenges like AI integration, remote teams, and shifting workplace expectations. Rather than chasing complexity, Jon advocates for organizational tools and processes that prioritize simplicity, seamless integration, and measurable efficiency, drawing inspiration from agile tech startup methodologies that champion constant iteration and improvement. His focus extends to building teams defined by a problem-solving mindset. For Jon, the ideal team member does not settle for I don't know, but actively researches, experiments, and communicates solutions—even when the recommended answer involves seeking outside expertise. Transparent communication, ownership, and a culture of collective problem-solving are central to sustaining participatory, resilient organizations that can adapt and flourish through change. To put these powerful principles into action and foster curiosity-driven transformation within your own organization, visit his website.

Bei einer Kundgebung 2017 in Bern zeigten Demonstrierende ein Transparent mit der Aufschrift «Kill Erdogan». Nun bestätigt das Bundesgericht: Die vom Berner Obergericht verhängten Geldstrafen gegen vier Personen wegen des Mitführens des Transparents sind rechtskräftig. Weitere Themen: Die steigenden Krankenkassenprämien sind eine der Hauptsorgen der Schweizer Bevölkerung. Deren Stimme findet in den Verhandlungen aber kaum Gehör. Dagegen formiert sich allmählich Widerstand. So auch an einer Tagung in Bern. Die Waadtländer Regierung will nächstes Jahr insgesamt 300 Millionen Franken einsparen. Die Einsparungen treffen vor allem Schulen, Spitäler, Heime und Sozialdienste. Kampflos wollen die Staatsangestellten den Sparentscheid aber nicht hinnehmen.

What to do if the algorithm considers you a criminal? With journalist Madhumita Murgia and researcher Naomi Appelman we discuss what fair, inclusive, and transparent AI looks like.An automated grading system in the UK downgraded students from disadvantaged areas. The Dutch student finance agency DUO used code to scan for fraud, which prioritized checking students with a migrant background. And the Toeslagenaffaire saw thousands of families falsely accused of fraud with child benefits due to a discriminatory algorithm disadvantaging people with a low income.AI systems around the world are quietly reshaping human lives – often at the cost of the most vulnerable. Together with Madhumita Murgia, author of the critically acclaimed book Code-Dependent, we'll examine how these systems come to be, who builds them – and who bears the cost. How can we ensure that AI in our society is fair, inclusive, and transparent? And how do we make citizens active participants in shaping these technologies? About Madhumita MurgiaMadhumita Murgia is tech journalist at Financial Times and author of Code-Dependent: Living in the Shadow of AI. She shares the stories of people around the world whose lives have been profoundly affected by algorithmic systems. In her view, AI is often not only opaque, but also ungovernable — and therefore dangerous.Programme editor: Rosalie DielesenModerator: Tim WagemakersThe Techdenkers series is provided and broadcast by De Balie and is part of our partnership with Adyen.Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Craig Kaplan is the Founder and CEO of iQ Company, a leading consulting firm specializing in the ethical and safe development of advanced AI and Superintelligent systems. With over 20 years at the helm, Dr. Kaplan has published a book, numerous patents, and ten whitepapers on Safe Superintelligence. His former company, PredictWallStreet, earned top recognition for outperforming major financial institutions like NASDAQ and TD Ameritrade. In this episode… As artificial intelligence continues to evolve at lightning speed, the world is grappling with a pivotal question: can we build systems powerful enough to change the world without losing control of them? What would it take to design smarter, safer, and more transparent AI that humanity can truly trust? According to Dr. Craig Kaplan, a pioneering figure in AI and collective intelligence systems, the key lies in prevention and design. He emphasizes that most of today's AI models function as "black boxes," where even their creators can't fully explain how decisions are made — a recipe for unpredictable behavior. Dr. Kaplan argues that the industry must focus on embedding safety at the design phase, not patching it afterward. Drawing from decades in AI and software quality, he highlights how systems designed with human oversight, transparency, and collective intelligence can be both safer and more profitable, ensuring accountability while maintaining innovation's momentum. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Dr. Craig Kaplan, Founder and CEO of iQ Company, about designing safer and more transparent AI systems. They explore the flaws in current AI training, the promise of collective intelligence, and the urgent need for ethical frameworks. Dr. Kaplan also shares why smarter design (not slower development) is the path to both safety and progress.

About a year ago, a research team at Stanford Engineering led by Guosong Hong published a paper about their work to use a common food dye to make mouse skin transparent. Their findings made a big splash and have the potential to provide a range of benefits in health care. You can imagine that if we have the ability to see what's going on under the skin without having to cut into it, or use radiation to get a clear look, this could improve everything from invasive biopsies to painful blood draws. We hope you'll tune in again and enjoy.Have a question for Russ? Send it our way in writing or via voice memo, and it might be featured on an upcoming episode.

About Rajender PrasadRajender Prasad is the founder and managing director of Money Maestro, a UAE-based mortgage advisory firm transforming how people approach home finance. With over 25 years in banking and finance, including two decades in the UAE, Raj built his career with leading institutions such as ABN AMRO, Standard Chartered, Mashreq, and NBAD before launching his own venture in 2020.Frustrated by the limitations of traditional banking and driven by a desire to prioritize clients' interests over products, Raj created Money Maestro to simplify the mortgage journey with clarity, transparency, and education at its core. His firm has since achieved a 100% client satisfaction rate, an impressive milestone in the financial services sector.About this EpisodeIn this insightful conversation, Raj shares his journey from corporate banking to entrepreneurship, revealing how his two decades in the industry shaped his vision for a more transparent and client-first approach to mortgage advisory.He reflects on the digital transformation reshaping the UAE's financial landscape—where 70% of business now happens online—and how technology has made property investment more accessible than ever, even for non-residents.Raj explains why he founded Money Maestro: to offer clients comparative access to all major banks rather than being limited to one institution's products. By acting as a financial partner instead of a salesperson, his team empowers buyers to make informed choices—understanding every rate, term, and hidden cost before signing.Throughout the episode, Raj reframes mortgages as a financial planning tool, not just a loan—a way to build long-term equity and financial stability instead of simply paying rent. He breaks down common misconceptions, from who qualifies for a mortgage to why property ownership in the UAE isn't just for the wealthy or citizens.Quotes3:18 - Things are moving in different levels now.

Great boards don't just meet—they measure. When boards track their own performance, they shift from opinion-driven debate to data-informed decisions. Transparent metrics build trust, align strategy, and keep every member accountable to the mission. Start small, stay consistent, and let dashboards reveal where progress is thriving—and where course correction is needed. The result? A more engaged, effective board that owns its success.

Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode with Austin Brittenham of 2nd Chair:* AI is Transforming Legal Workflows and the Billable HourAI tools like 2nd Chair are changing how legal work is performed, reducing the need for billable hours and enabling lawyers to work more efficiently. This shift challenges the traditional billable hour model and encourages new business models in law.* Access to Justice and the Latent Legal MarketThere is a huge unmet demand for legal services—most people with legal needs never consult a lawyer. AI-powered tools and new pricing models can help lawyers serve this “latent legal market,” expanding access to justice and creating new revenue opportunities.* Differentiation in Legal AI: Engineering and User Experience2nd Chair differentiates itself from competitors by building custom solutions for parsing legal documents and providing AI with citations, making it more reliable and useful for lawyers. Transparent, simple subscription pricing is also a key part of their appeal.* The Evolving Role of LawyersAI is automating much of the routine, document-heavy work that has dominated legal practice since the rise of the billable hour. This is pushing lawyers back toward their traditional roles as counselors, advisors, and advocates, focusing on higher-value tasks that require human judgment.* Changing Consumer Expectations and Legal Service DeliveryClients are increasingly using AI tools themselves before consulting lawyers, which changes their expectations for speed, cost, and value. Lawyers need to adapt by leveraging AI to deliver faster, more cost-effective, and higher-quality services, while maintaining the human accountability clients still demand.__________________________Learn more about 2nd Chair.Sign up for Paxton, my all-in-one AI legal assistant, helping me with legal research, analysis, drafting, and enhancing existing legal work product.Here's a link to purchase lifetime access to the recordings of My Shingle's AI Teach-In if you couldn't make it live.I've partnered with Pii to make it easy for you to purchase the hardware I use in my law firm: (1) Studio Setup; (2) Midrange Setup; (3) Highrange Setup.Get Connected with SixFifty⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a business and employment legal document automation tool.Sign up for ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Gavel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an automation platform for law firms.Check out my other show, the Law for Kids Podcast.Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Law Subscribed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to subscribe to the weekly newsletter to listen from your web browser.Prefer monthly updates?

In today's episode, Greg Burke, Assistant Professor of Accounting and Business Law at Loyola University Chicago, highlighted a key finding from his research: less than a third of crowdfunding issuers file their required annual reports on time, and fewer than half ever do.Greg explained that this lack of compliance undermines investor trust and market legitimacy. “Investors are looking for regulation crowdfunding annual reports,” he said. “Sometimes they're just not finding it. If investors are demanding it and they're not getting it, it certainly may impact their investment decisions and the potential growth in this market.”The consequences of this gap in transparency are significant. As Greg noted, compliance with annual reporting requirements provides investors with critical information to make better decisions. This transparency fosters trust, encourages repeat investments, and helps attract new capital to the space.Greg's research also uncovered ways to increase compliance. In a field experiment conducted with King's Crowd, a marketing campaign emphasized the regulatory risks of failing to comply with reporting requirements. This simple approach increased compliance by 20%. “A simple email reminder tailored towards emphasizing regulatory risk can make a difference,” Greg said.Platforms and intermediaries also play a critical role. Greg suggested that crowdfunding platforms could incorporate reporting support into their services, either by helping issuers directly or partnering with third-party providers. He noted that the process doesn't have to be costly or complicated. “There are services out there that can provide these reports for less than a thousand dollars,” Greg explained.By addressing this issue, we could unlock the full potential of regulated crowdfunding. Transparent reporting not only satisfies investor demand but also legitimizes the marketplace, opening doors for more diverse founders and innovative solutions to access much-needed capital.Improving compliance with reporting requirements might seem like a small step, but it's a foundational one. As Greg put it, “Any kind of movement in this space to increase reporting compliance only adds legitimacy to the space.”tl;dr:Greg Burke highlights low compliance with annual reporting requirements in the regulated crowdfunding market.Improved compliance fosters investor trust and market growth, benefiting entrepreneurs and diverse founders.Greg's research shows emphasizing regulatory risks can increase reporting compliance by 20%.Crowdfunding platforms and third-party services can simplify compliance for resource-constrained entrepreneurs.Greg's superpower is making complex topics relatable by tailoring messages to his audience's needs.How to Develop Making Complex Concepts Relatable As a SuperpowerGreg's superpower is making complex, seemingly dull topics engaging, relatable, and accessible. As Greg explained, “I think what I've come down to is making seemingly uninteresting, confusing, or unimportant things seem interesting, understandable, and relevant.” He emphasized that the key to this skill lies in understanding the audience, creating an engaging environment, and translating complicated ideas into relatable concepts.Illustrative Story:Greg shared an example from his classroom, where he taught students about safeguarding assets, a topic that might seem boring at first glance. By comparing company practices to personal experiences—like hiding cash from a roommate—he made the concept tangible and easy to understand. Through relatable analogies, Greg transformed a dry academic topic into a conversation his students could connect with and apply.Actionable Tips for Developing the Superpower:Know Your Audience: Understand what matters to the people you're speaking to and tailor your message.Make It Relatable: Use analogies or examples drawn from everyday life to explain complex ideas.Create an Open Environment: Foster a safe, genuine, and engaging space to encourage curiosity and interaction.Observe and Adjust: Pay attention to how people respond to your explanations and refine your approach accordingly.Be Brave: Don't be afraid to try new ways of communicating, even if it doesn't work perfectly the first time.By following Greg's example and advice, you can make “making complex concepts relatable” a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

I first heard Tom Barnett speak at Confluence last year — and man, it hit hard. He gave a powerful talk on how everything is an offer — in law, in life, in the spiritual realm. And that we all get to choose how we respond. That message stuck with me. It was raw, empowering, and packed with real truth. I knew I had to bring him on the Live Free Now Show to share that insight with all of you. In this episode, we dive deep into Natural Law, sovereignty, and Tom's personal journey — from growing up questioning the system in Australia, to navigating courts and injustice, to healing chronic fatigue not through medicine, but through alignment with Natural Law. Tom doesn't claim to be a master. But his open mind and grounded way of teaching make him one of the most powerful messengers I've come across. He breaks down complex spiritual and legal ideas in a way that's simple, clear, and direct. We also talk about The Humble Kingdom — the platform he and his wife Summah launched in 2025 as a response to what people need most right now: clarity, healing, truth, and sovereignty. If you've ever felt trapped by systems that don't serve you… or wondered how to step fully into your power while staying grounded and free — this conversation is for you. Don't miss it.

UGI Corporation's Global Enterprise Lead, Learning & Development Wendy Laverty shares how “Breakthrough Thinking” is reshaping leadership, structure, and strategy at UGI. She explains how a series of workshops with team members has encouraged intentional reflection, language, and a culture of curiosity that's unlocking new solutions and sustainable change. Show Notes:UGI's Wendy Laverty shares many inspirational and actionable ways to inspire better thinking that leads to sustainable change. Her key points include: Breakthrough Thinking is intentional, not accidental. Leaders at UGI are asking “I wonder why/if/how…” to challenge assumptions, see blind spots, and design new pathways instead of defaulting to past practice.Language shapes outcomes. Words “get caught like colds.” The way leaders speak influences mindsets, behaviors, and results—so UGI is practicing saying the future they intend to create, then aligning actions to it.Structure enables speed. AmeriGas (a UGI company) shifted to a decentralized, pod-based model—returning authority to frontline managers, running weekly problem-solving calls, and using focus groups to surface gaps and improve the system.Trust + feedback fuel change.Transparent, authentic feedback sessions—and a bias toward curiosity over criticism—are building a culture where learning is continuous and leaders model the behavior they want to see.Lead with “both–and” and look ahead to AI-first learning. UGI equips leaders to hold healthy polarities (e.g., candor and diplomacy) and is exploring AI-first learning approaches to personalize development and drive measurable business results. Wendy recommends the following books:Navigating Polarities Using Thinking TransformationLearning RevolutionPowered by Learning earned Awards of Distinction in the Podcast/Audio and Business Podcast categories from The Communicator Awards and a Gold and Silver Davey Award.
