Mark is joined by Joze co-founder Barak Cohen to discuss how AI and decentralized systems can transform the way we resolve conflict. Together they explore how the current legal system fails most people, and how Joze aims to create accessible, empathetic, and community-driven solutions for dispute resolution. The conversation dives into the role of AI in facilitating human understanding, building trust, and empowering individuals to take control of their own conflicts! Learn more about the 'Justice Gap' and the need for accessible legal help at justicegap.lsc.gov Join the experiment and consider sponsoring the mission at Joze.ai! Takeaways The current legal system often fails to provide adequate conflict resolution for the majority of people. Joze aims to create a decentralized platform for conflict resolution that is accessible and affordable. AI can facilitate meaningful communication and understanding between conflicting parties. Proactive conflict management can prevent disputes from escalating. Empathy and trust are crucial components in resolving conflicts effectively. The existing legal system is adversarial and often exacerbates conflicts rather than resolving them. Joze seeks to empower individuals to take control of their conflict resolution processes. Community engagement is essential for reaching those who need conflict resolution services. The future of conflict resolution lies in innovative, technology-driven solutions that prioritize human connection.

This week on Power House, Diego sits down with Hector Amendola, the president of Panorama Mortgage Group, formerly known as Alterra Home Loans. In 2022, Panorama rebranded from Alterra to what we now know as Panorama, with Alterra remaining as their retail arm. Panorama focuses on specifically serving underserved and underrepresented communities now through their brand new wholesale channel, Travisa Financial.  Hector shares his journey from loan officer assistant to president and discusses Panorama's post-COVID pivot that included establishing their Mexican operations and launching their wholesale division.

“I really do believe what we're doing in the industry to help our members is noble, and TruStage wants to be a partner in that.” - Joe BoanThank you for tuning in to The CUInsight Network, with your host, Robbie Young, Vice President of Strategic Growth at CUInsight. In The CUInsight Network, we take a deeper dive with the thought leaders who support the credit union community. We discuss issues and challenges facing credit unions and identify best practices to learn and grow together.My guest on today's show is Joe Boan, SVP Head of Sales Distribution at TruStage. Joe joins me to share his journey into the financial services industry and how TruStage is committed to partnering with credit unions to help their members achieve greater financial success. He reflects on how his path has taken him through various roles, from working at a brokerage firm to leading product and sales at a large insurance company. He discusses how he has seen the industry from many angles—as a consumer, someone who helps individuals directly, and as a distribution partner for financial services companies.In our conversation, Joe explains that TruStage is 100% focused on serving credit unions and their members, particularly the "underserved" middle-market consumers. With extensive research, TruStage designs products and solutions that are customized to this group's needs, unlike many institutions that cater to the top percentiles. By offering protection products such as life insurance, TruStage helps credit unions not only serve their members better but also generate sustainable income to support their growth. Joe highlights the fact that TruStage's mission is fully aligned with credit unions to help members become more financially secure.As we wrap up the episode, Joe talks about the leadership of his college baseball coach, his love of cars, his favorite city to travel to, and has a book recommendation for everyone!

Hello, and welcome back to Cash Flow Conversations, a new miniseries sponsored by Nova Credit. Episode 3 is my conversation with Matt Zalubowski, Chief Commercial Officer and Chief Marketing Officer at Atlanticus, a subprime lender focused on offering credit cards and personal loans.  The challenge in this market is finding more ways to fairly and responsibly say YES. Cash flow data is proving to be a natural fit, driving about a 15% lift on top of traditional bureau data while widening the credit box without adding risk (and giving consumers better terms and pricing that go beyond a simple yes/no decision). We dig into how Atlanticus uses cash flow data to bridge the gap between prime cards and payday-style products, why affiliates like MoneyLion help reduce friction in permissioning, and how cash flow data enables smarter line sizing and pricing. Plus, some early results! I learned a lot in this conversation, and I trust you will, too. Subscribe now to catch the rest of Cash Flow Conversations as it comes. This miniseries is brought to you by Nova Credit. Nova Credit is a credit infrastructure and analytics company that enables businesses to grow responsibly by harnessing alternative credit data.  The company is a CRA that leverages its unique data infrastructure, compliance framework, and credit expertise to help lenders fill in the gaps that exist in traditional credit analytics.  Deploy cash flow underwriting confidently with Nova Credit's proven platform.

Robert Bronstein, cofounder and CEO of The Scion Group, talks student housing. He argues that the supply/demand imbalance is widening, with undergrad enrollment projected to rise by 139K per year through 2031. Already, he adds, most students rely on inadequate options, especially on-campus dorms, and believes that off-campus housing needs to fill the gap. He discusses how Scion Group uses technology to predict demand, pricing models, and relay student communications.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

What if power wasn’t just about wealth or status, but about opening doors for those shut out? That’s the idea behind ErudiFi, a student financing platform founded by John Tan, which has already helped tens of thousands of young people in Southeast Asia pursue higher education.

Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) has transformed how consumers approach purchasing, yet adoption in the US still trails markets like Australia and Europe. In this episode, we sit down with Joe Heck, US CEO of Zip, who brings somewhat of a contrarian perspective to the industry. Joe argues that BNPL isn't just another credit product, it's a financial tool designed for what he calls "underestimated Americans," the paycheck-to-paycheck consumers often underserved by traditional banks.With Zip achieving a 98% payback rate and growing over 40% year-over-year, Joe shares insights on why the credit system is too judgmental, how BNPL provides working capital flexibility, and his vision for autonomous finance powered by AI. Whether you're curious about the future of payments or want to understand how fintech is serving overlooked consumer segments, this conversation offers fresh insights into one of the fastest-growing areas of financial services.In this podcast you will learn:What attracted Joe to take the CEO role at Zip.Why BNPL has not taken off as fast in the U.S. as it has in Australia and Europe.How Zip's BNPL product works.What Zip's customers are spending their money on.What kind of checks they do for new customers.Joe's view on reporting BNPL transactions to credit bureaus.What is driving the growth at Zip over the last year.How Joe responds to media criticisms of BNPL and mounting consumer debt.How they help their customers smooth out their payments.How they partner with Stripe and what it means for Zip's growth.Where Zip is looking to expand.How Joe sees the the BNPL sector evolving and the role of AI.Connect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

Click here to book a strategy call.  https://calendly.com/firingtheman/amazonWhat if the path to e-commerce success was simpler than most "gurus" make it out to be? In this eye-opening conversation with Jim Cockrum—pioneer in online entrepreneurship and founder of the Proven Amazon Course—we discover why most people are looking at Amazon selling all wrong.Forget what you've heard about market saturation. With less than 20% of all retail happening online, we're still in the pioneer stage of e-commerce. The blue ocean is expanding daily, and Jim reveals his "low-low-high" approach that's helped thousands build sustainable businesses with minimal risk and investment.The real opportunity? Finding "underserved shelf space" in Amazon's massive warehouse network. Jim explains why focusing on everyday products that shoppers need quickly—rather than chasing the lowest price—creates a powerful advantage even for beginners. Through fascinating examples (like how one seller outperformed 200 competitors while charging the highest price), you'll understand why speed and convenience often trump price for today's consumers.Jim dismantles common myths about Amazon selling, clarifying how the platform's increasingly consistent policies make it easier than ever to stay in good standing. He provides practical guidance on sourcing products properly, understanding the economics of profitable reselling, and avoiding the costly mistakes that trip up new sellers.Perhaps most surprisingly, Jim shares his unconventional belief that relationships—not tactics or strategies—are the true predictor of entrepreneurial success. By the end of our conversation, you'll see why Jim's approach has stood the test of time while countless "get rich quick" schemes have faded away.Whether you're just starting your online business journey or looking to diversify your existing e-commerce operation, this conversation offers a refreshingly straightforward path to building freedom and financial stability in the digital age.How to connect with Jim?Website: https://jimcockrumcoaching.com/Podcast: https://silentjim.com/podcast-home/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jimcockrum/Facebook Group: SilentJim Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimcockrumInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimcockrum/?hl=enSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2K55JmPu9WBAqmOtIaQAkfReady to scale your Amazon business?

The Study is a collaboration with the Georgia Cancer Center.The c-CARE project framework was originally introduced in 2015, and utilizes the “train the trainer” method to deliver culturally-tailored educational intervention sessions at various community sites. Funding for the c-CARE II project was obtained through a grant from the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation, $3.38M.c-CARE II Program Website

On this episode, Mary Caffrey, Executive Editor of AJMC and Evidence-Based Oncology (EBO), is joined by Joseph Mikhael, MD, MEd, FRCPC, FACP, FASCO Chief Medical Officer of the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF), was the primary interviewee and source for a recent EBO article. His insights in that piece highlight how the IMF's M-Power initiative builds trust and awareness through its 3-pillar approach: community engagement, primary care education, and improving care for patients. During the discussion, Mikael talks about how IMF's M-Power initiative is expanding with the organization's medical student scholars program, using patient narratives to encourage trial participation among Black patients, and navigating today's political climate around diversity, equity, and inclusion—all while pushing toward a future where lifesaving treatments and cures reach every patient who needs them.

The FBI has just declared there is no Epstein client list. For millions of Americans across political lines, this strains credibility—and raises serious questions, not the least is about the FBI's own discussions of the Epstein 'list'. Nick Bryant, a former reporter, knows this story very well, having worked with the original team who first broke the story. He has written books about the mindset and underground network that fuels such activities, such as in college sports and other industries, as documented in The Franklin Scandal. He helped found Epstein Justice, to bring resources to the victims of the Epstein empire. Is the FBI's recent declaration a betrayal of public trust as well as known facts? Nick Bryant thinks so.  Nick Bryant's writing has recurrently focused on the plight of disadvantaged children in the United States. He's been published in numerous national journals, including the Journal of Professional Ethics, Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology, Journal of Social Distress and Homelessness, Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved, and Journal of School Health. He co-authored America's Children: Triumph or Tragedy, addressing the medical and developmental problems of lower socioeconomic children in America. Bryant is the author of The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse, & Betrayal. He has also contributed a chapter on child trafficking to Global Perspectives on Dissociative Disorders: Individual and Societal Oppression, a book addressing various facets of dissociative disorders. He is the co-author of Confessions of a DC Madam: The Politics of Sex, Lies, and Blackmail. His mainstream and investigative work has appeared in USA Today Magazine, Playboy, Salon, The Twin Cities Reader, Vanity Fair, New York, GEAR, Gawker, the Scheer Post, and other publications too ignominious to mention. He is the host of The Nick Bryant Podcast.

In schools with limited resources, large class sizes, and wide differences in student ability, individualized learning has become a necessity. Artificial intelligence offers powerful tools to help meet those needs, especially in underserved communities. But the way we introduce those tools matters.This week, Matt Kirchner talks with Sam Whitaker, Director of Social Impact at StudyFetch, about how AI can support literacy, comprehension, and real learning outcomes when used with purpose. Sam shares his experience bringing AI education to a rural school in Uganda, where nearly every student had already used AI without formal guidance. The results of a two-hour project surprised everyone and revealed just how much potential exists when students are given the right tools.The conversation covers AI as a literacy tool, how to design platforms that encourage learning rather than shortcutting, and why student-facing AI should preserve creativity, curiosity, and joy. Sam also explains how responsible use of AI can reduce educational inequality rather than reinforce it.This is a hopeful, practical look at how education can evolve—if we build with intention.Listen to learn:Surprising lessons from working with students at a rural Ugandan school using artificial intelligenceWhat different MIT studies suggest about the impacts of AI use on memory and productivityHow AI can help U.S. literacy rates, and what far-reaching implications that will haveWhat China's AI education policy for six-year-olds might signal about the global race for responsible, guided AI use3 Big Takeaways:1. Responsible AI use must be taught early to prevent misuse and promote real learning. Sam compares AI to handing over a car without driver's ed—powerful but dangerous without structure. When AI is used to do the thinking for students, it stifles creativity and long-term retention instead of developing it.2. AI can help close educational gaps in schools that lack the resources for individualized learning. In many underserved districts, large class sizes make one-on-one instruction nearly impossible. AI tools can adapt to students' needs in real time, offering personalized learning that would otherwise be out of reach.3. AI can play a key role in addressing the U.S. literacy crisis. Sam points out that 70% of U.S. inmates read at a fourth-grade level or below, and 85% of juvenile offenders can't read. Adaptive AI tools are now being developed to assess, support, and gradually improve literacy for students who have been left behind.Resources in this Episode:To learn about StudyFetch, visit: www.studyfetch.comOther resources:MIT Study "Experimental Evidence on the Productivity Effects of General Artificial Intelligence"MIT Study "Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task"Learn more about the Ugandan schools mentioned: African Rural University (ARU) and Uganda Rural Development anWe want to hear from you!

In this second compilation focused on emerging markets, we revisit conversations featuring three investors who are channeling substantial capital into regions where others hesitate to go – and they're doing it with discipline, innovation, and deep local insight.Each of these guests brings a different strategy and perspective, but all are working toward the same goal: building sustainable, scalable businesses that meet the needs of underserved communities.And they're doing it in ways that challenge the old assumptions: that impact comes at the expense of return, that emerging markets are too volatile to be investable, or that scalable solutions must come from the West.Here are the featured voices:Sandeep Farias, Founder and Managing Partner of Elevar EquityElevar backs what they call entrepreneurial households – more than 50 million families across emerging markets who've moved beyond the bottom of the pyramid. While they're making economic progress, they still lack access to the products and services that support their ambitions and daily lives.Sandeep and his team take a bottom-up, equity-focused approach to identify the “core solutions” these families prioritize – like education, healthcare, and agriculture – and invest in entrepreneurs building businesses to serve them.With five funds deployed across India and Latin America, Elevar stays close to both customers and founders, spending time in the field to understand how people live, what they value, and where capital can make the greatest difference.Full episode  Rochus Mommartz, the CEO of responsAbilityRochus leads responsAbility – one of the world's largest dedicated impact asset managers, with $5 billion under management and more than $15 billion deployed across emerging markets since inception.His team doesn't start with products. They start with problems – like the 500 million people in Africa who still lack electricity, or the small businesses across Asia and Latin America that can't get financing.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for July 3rd Publish Date: July 3rd From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, July 3rd and Happy birthday to Tom Cruise I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Corps of Engineers reopening seven more Lake Lanier parks NAACP accuses Gwinnett DA of mishandling shooting case, wants AG to reopen case Gwinnett Stripers partner with TeamSmile to provide free dental exams for local underserved children Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on sodas All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Corps of Engineers reopening seven more Lake Lanier parks The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has partnered with Forsyth and Hall counties to reopen nearly all nine previously closed parks on Lake Lanier for the Fourth of July weekend. Six parks will operate under one-year agreements with the counties, while Burton Mill Park will temporarily open for the holiday weekend. This collaboration aims to provide recreational access while addressing staffing shortages that initially threatened to close 21 parks. Only two parks, Van Pugh North and South, will remain closed as hiring efforts continue to support long-term operations. STORY 2: NAACP accuses Gwinnett DA of mishandling shooting case, wants AG to reopen case A dispute has arisen over the Gwinnett DA's decision not to prosecute Alejandro Querales Morales, who shot Jalyne Evans-Jones through his door after she and her husband asked him to lower his music in August 2023. Evans-Jones, who survived with permanent injuries, and the NAACP claim the case was mishandled, citing lack of investigation and communication. The DA’s office argued there wasn’t enough evidence, pointing to a witness who claimed Evans-Jones' husband had a gun. The NAACP is urging Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr to reopen the case, alleging misconduct, though Carr’s office stated it lacks jurisdiction. Evans-Jones and her husband have also filed a civil lawsuit. STORY 3: Gwinnett Stripers partner with TeamSmile to provide free dental exams for local underserved children Underserved children in Gwinnett County will receive free dental exams and oral health education on July 8, thanks to a partnership between the Gwinnett Stripers, TeamSmile, Delta Dental, and Sun Life U.S. Held at Cooray Field, the event will feature pro athletes, mascots, and entertainment to create a fun atmosphere. Children with dental issues will be referred to TeamSmile’s Dental Home Project for long-term care. Since 2007, TeamSmile has provided over $22 million in free dental care to more than 60,000 children nationwide. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: STORY 4: State audit of state program for kids produced mixed results A state audit of the Georgia Family Connection Partnership, which received $30 million in funding for fiscal year 2024, revealed mixed results in improving child well-being indicators. While the program positively impacted high school graduation and teen birth rates, it showed no evidence of improvement in child abuse, low birthweight babies, or child poverty. Auditors criticized the program's decentralized model for limiting measurable impact and disagreed with the partnership’s claim that results were "promising." Established in 1991, the initiative aims to address Georgia's historically low child well-being rankings but faces challenges in demonstrating consistent statewide outcomes. STORY 5: Police: Mercedes SUV was stolen while being transported out of state Gwinnett County police are searching for a stolen 2025 matte gray Mercedes GLS with distinctive 24-inch Forgiato wheels. The SUV was last seen on June 6 when a subcontractor picked it up from a Snellville home to transport it out of state, but it never arrived. Police are seeking public assistance and encourage anyone with information to contact detectives or Crime Stoppers, which offers cash rewards for tips leading to an arrest and indictment.
