We are happy to welcome Ashley Harding to the podcast this episode. Ashley is a fourth-generation educator and is deeply committed to educational equity. She holds degrees from USC and Tufts University in Child Development, and her career spans more than a decade, during which she has supported students and families in private and independent schools and contributed to global education initiatives in South Africa and Belize. Formerly the Director of External Engagement for a national school network, she has co-authored research on disparities affecting Black and Latino males and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal. Through her organization, North Star Academics, and her roles with BEAN and CHADD, Ashley empowers students with evidence-based strategies and advocates for those with learning differences. Ashley discusses how parents can reframe the summer from a "deficit mindset" to an "opportunity mindset" for their children, stressing the importance of balance and allowing students time for rest, rejuvenation, and exploration of their interests outside of academics. She explains that while academic growth is incredibly important during the school year, the summer months provide a critical window for students to develop their identity, independence, and executive functioning skills, and she encourages parents to avoid overwhelming children with intensive academic programs and instead focus on activities that build upon confidence, self-reflection, and a sense of belonging. Our conversation highlights the need for families (both parents and students) to take time for rest and reconnection over the summer, with Ashley suggesting a plan that gradually transitions from unstructured free time in June to more purposeful activities in July and August, such as previewing curriculum, reviewing foundational skills, and setting new goals for the upcoming school year. We also discuss the importance of real-world learning experiences such as cooking, budgeting, and travel, which can naturally reinforce academic concepts while also nurturing executive functioning abilities. Ashley stresses the importance of allowing children, especially older ones, the freedom to explore their interests and discover their passions during the summer months. This episode of the show provides a thoughtful and balanced approach to supporting students' overall development during the summer break, with a focus on building upon resilience, independence, and a renewed sense of purpose for the next academic year! Show Notes: [3:03] - Ashley Harding highlights summer as a time for rest and emotional integration after academic growth. [5:53] - Ashley points out how colleges tend to value well-roundedness, which begins with developing personal interests as early as middle school. [8:12] - Especially post-COVID, students and families need rest to recover from years of ongoing emotional exhaustion. [10:27] - Ashley believes that June should involve winding down, celebrating growth, and gently preparing for the next school year. [13:10] - Immediate academic intensity post-school year can overwhelm neurodivergent kids in need of rest. [14:20] - Ashley urges families to teach kids balance by allowing rest as an act of resistance. [17:02] - Summer is such an important time for families to rest, reconnect, and nurture mental health together. [18:12] - Children ultimately model behavior from parents, so truly resting teaches them balance over productivity. [22:14] - Ashley argues that fun, low-pressure activities such as cooking can help kids grasp and retain math concepts more effectively. [24:17] - Ashley likes reminding families to do as much real-world, practical learning as possible. [27:37] - Kids may need more sleep and rest, but they do still benefit from consistent routine and structure. [29:20] - Summer offers kids space for self-reflection and growth beyond just grades and academic pressure. [31:35] - Ashley points out how summer is ideal for reinforcing key executive functioning skills like memory, time management, and planning. [33:36] - Allowing kids to self-monitor can help build confidence and resilience. [36:44] - Unstructured time helps parents rediscover their children and builds upon a deeper sense of belonging at home. [39:23] - Summer is such a gift because it offers time to reconnect, regroup, and learn more about your growing child!

In this episode of Supply Chain Now, hosts Scott W. Luton and Kevin L. Jackson sit down with Antonio Bustamante, CEO of bem, to explore how automation is reshaping the supply chain landscape in 2025. Together, they unpack the hidden costs of manual workflows, the pitfalls of outdated systems, and the massive opportunity in eliminating data friction.Antonio shares how bem helps teams move away from time-consuming email and PDF-based processes toward self-healing, AI-powered systems that learn from every operator input. He discusses why the freight world is especially burdened by unstructured data, and how automation can free up teams to focus on serving customers, not fixing typos.The conversation also covers the limitations of RPA and email triage, the challenge of achieving interoperability across legacy systems, and why meeting operators where they are (even if that means faxes and handwritten notes) is key to meaningful digital transformation. Plus, Antonio offers a peek at bem's upcoming Command Center, a tool that gives ops teams the power to correct, route, and improve workflows without relying on engineering.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(03:49) The importance of automation in supply chain(06:57) Challenges of manual data entry(13:47) Unstructured data in supply chain(21:06) The role of communication in logistics(22:34) Understanding multimodal communication(23:45) Challenges with RPA and email triage(24:44) Embracing real-world data(27:09) The role of handwritten notes(27:49) BIM's impact on manual processing(30:39) Introducing the command center(40:08) Composable infrastructureAdditional Links & Resources:Learn more about bem: https://blog.bem.ai/ Connect with Antonio Bustamante: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abmirayo/ Loop automates data transformation at scale for new clients with bem: https://www.bem.ai/customer-stories/loop-automates-data-transformation-at-scale-for-new-clients-with-bemThe Supply Chain Back Office Is Broken: https://lp.supplychainnow.com/bemFor more content with bem and Supply Chain Now, check out the bem Campaign Landing Page: https://supplychainnow.com/bem Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now Subscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!

They delve into the cultural implications of summer, the importance of unstructured time, and how to engage with God and community during this slower season. The conversation emphasizes the need for a mental shift towards relaxation and reflection, while also preparing for the upcoming fall season.TakeawaysOur experience of summer is often divided into two distinct seasons: May through Fourth of July, and then the slower part until school starts again.

We would love to hear from you! Text us any feedback. Summer beckons – that magical time when routines relax and possibilities unfold like wildflowers. But how do we make these precious months truly matter?Instead of approaching summer with the typical achievement-oriented mindset that dominates the rest of our year, what if we shifted our focus to growth? Not the kind measured in completed checklists or Pinterest-worthy activities, but genuine expansion in relationships, rest, adventure, and joy.That's exactly what I'm exploring in this final episode before our summer podcast pause. I'm sharing my own summer intentions, challenging the anxiety-producing "18 summers" mantra that haunts parents, and offering practical ways to cultivate meaningful moments without the pressure of perfection.For those who thrive on structure, I've included practical frameworks like themed days and helpful resources in the show notes. For free spirits, there's permission to embrace spontaneity and the simple art of saying "yes" more often when our children invite us into their worlds.From yard games that create hilarious family memories to intentional digital detoxing that allows us to be truly present, this episode is filled with attainable ways to make this summer one of connection rather than accomplishment.When September arrives and we return with fresh episodes, I hope you'll have spent these months growing, resting, adventuring, and savoring the relationships that matter most. Because ultimately, that's what makes a summer that truly matters. Join me in embracing this pause, friends – I'll be waiting with new conversations, insights, and interviews when we return.Printable Resources: Printable Summer Bucketlist:https://sunriseelementarycounseling.weebly.com/blog/summer-bucket-list4977644Printable Summer Goals:https://writtenreality.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/free-summer-activities-chart-goals.pdfhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/17yNYnbDAFhRE5x_nHO8wG1u8LP9zY9jD/viewPrintable Weekly Summary:https://www.unoriginalmom.com/free-printable-weekly-summer-activity-plan/Printable Five Goals:https://www.pinterest.com/pin/71916925287715966Resources For A Great Summer:https://www.thebettermom.com/summer-with-kidsBook Resources:A Million Tiny Moments: Refections to Refresh a Mom's Spirit:https://amzn.to/43cByT6Homegrown Disciples: Parenting Rythmnsfor Drawing Your Kids Into Life With God:https://amzn.to/44J4FOXFrom Grouchy to Great - Finding Joy in the Journey of Motherhoodhttps://amzn.to/45myYLwPressing Pause- 100 Quiet Moments for Moms to Meet with God:https://amzn.to/4jjWkotRisen Motherhood - Gospel Hope for Everyday:https://amzn.to/3H39ngBhttps://amzn.to/3SOgNXy (beautiful deluxe edition)Gospel Moms - How to Make Biblical Decisions and Discover the Mom Go God Created You to Be:https://amzn.to/4dqnSqO Habits of the Household:https://amzn.to/438lFNhThe Flourishing Family: A Jesus-Centered Guide to Parenting with Peace and Purpose:https://amzn.to/3GZkpDIFun Yard Games:Kubb:https://amzn.to/3SJSXwaCrossnet:https://amzn.to/3SJSXwaSpikeBall:https://amzn.to/4dCfm8sYard Dice:https://amzn.to/3GZmFeaJOIN ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Follow Along @ - https://www.instagram.com/nikkicronksmith/

One of the biggest downsides of consumer AI?It doesn't have up-to-date access to your enterprise data. Even as frontier labs work tirelessly to connect and integrate AI chatbots with your data, we're a far way off from that happening. Unless you're using a platform like IBM's watsonx. And if you are using watsonx, your go-to enterprise AI platform just got a TON more powerful. IBM just unveiled updates across its watson ecosystem at its Think 2025 conference.

Who pours their heart and soul into journey maps that end up gathering dust...Exactly no one of course!Sure, we all want our journey work to have more impact, faster. But the question is how?That's exactly what we're exploring in the Journey Management Playbook series in collaboration with TheyDo.What makes this series different is that it's built on the real-world lessons learned from companies who are deep in the trenches of implementing journey management. Success leaves clues – clues we're sharing with you.Just like in the first episode, this second part dives into a step that many professionals (myself included, sometimes) tend to skip, overlook, or take for granted. Yeah, it's the kind of oversight that often comes back to haunt you later on.This crucial step is all about grounding your journey efforts in solid evidence, blending the what with the why. It's what separates informed action from guesswork.Getting this right brings clarity on what truly deserves your attention and what noise you can safely ignore. Without it, you're essentially sailing in the dark, hoping for the best. And let's be honest, hope isn't the most reliable strategy when stakeholders are looking for tangible results.So, join Tingting Lin and me to learn how to prevent your journey management efforts from failing to make the impact they deserve.I thought I already had things pretty well dialled in with my own journey management, but this conversation was an eye-opener. Tingting showed how looking into a few simple things differently could help me ground my journeys in even stronger evidence.

On this edition of Parallax Views, the biggest wrestling event of the year is only days away: WrestleMania. Billed as the "Showcase of the Immortals," WrestleMania is the marquee event of World Wrestling Entertainment and has been going strong for over 40 years. On April 19th and 20th, WWE will present WrestleMania 41. Yes—FORTY-ONE. Ahead of the big event, I spoke with Gary from the YouTube channel Grapplevision—one of the most unique and compelling voices in pro wrestling media today. While most wrestling YouTubers focus on current events or canonical moments like the Montreal Screwjob, Hulk Hogan's heel turn, or Mick Foley's infamous fall off the Hell in a Cell, Grapplevision dives into the ghosts and glitches of wrestling history. It's a channel immersed in what you might call phantom histories: forgotten figures, obscure promotions, uncanny storylines, and the lingering specters of wrestling's carny roots. What sets Grapplevision apart is its unmistakably hauntological aesthetic—think VHS degradation, lost tapes, and late-night public access weirdness. The channel's documentaries are layered with analog textures and deep archival digs, evoking the era of tape trading and underground fandom. In many ways, it feels less like a recap or explainer and more like a séance conducted with a turnbuckle and a cathode-ray screen. From the blurred lines of shoot vs. worked fights (explored in the "Wrestling Gets Real" series), to Japanese deathmatch icon Atsushi Onita's exploding barbed wire spectacles, to strange pop culture crossovers featuring Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, and Jim Varney's Ernest P. Worrell—Grapplevision chronicles the strange, forgotten, and surreal corners of the squared circle. All this with an intro that cheekily nods to David Cronenberg's Videodrome. In this sprawling, four-and-a-half-hour conversation, you'll hear from someone who's not only been inside the industry but has also taken on the role of archivist and cultural historian. Even if you're not a wrestling fan, there's something here for anyone interested in performance, memory, mythology, and media.
In today's data-driven world, organizations are inundated with vast amounts of information, much of which remains unstructured and underutilized. Unstructured data - comprising documents, videos, emails, and other formats - holds immense potential to drive insights and enhance decision-making processes. However, the challenge lies in effectively harnessing this data. Companies like Truxt are at the forefront of addressing this issue through innovative solutions that leverage generative AI to transform unstructured data into actionable insights.The Challenge of Unstructured DataMany organizations struggle with managing unstructured data. Businesses often find themselves with a plethora of files stored in disorganized manners, such as Google Drive folders filled with documents that lack proper categorization. This scenario is common across industries, where valuable information is buried within a sea of data, making it difficult for employees to access the insights they need.

The rule that your AI is only as good as your data is now well understood, with businesses all over the world looking to modernize their data sources and infrastructure to make the most of AI products and services. But something that can be easily lost in these discussions is consideration of the exact format your data exists in at rest. Unstructured data is especially important for AI and knowing where it fits into your AI strategy is essential. This doesn't just mean knowing where it resides and capturing it, but also storing it in architecture that makes it searchable, secure, and accessible whenever you need it.In this special edition of the ITPro Podcast, in association with Nasuni, Jane and Rory are joined by Jim Liddle, chief innovation officer of data intelligence and AI at Nasuni, to discuss using unstructured data in the most effective way possible.
Founder of BioGeometry, Dr. Ibrahim Karim, explores the hidden reality of Ancient Egypt, linear vs non-linear perception, and how to tap into a multidimensional state of consciousness. The conversation explores the concept of sacred power spots and their significance in ancient civilizations. These power spots, such as temples and pyramids, were built on top of natural springs and energy vortexes. The ancient builders understood the importance of harnessing life force energy and creating a connection between the power spot and the cycle of life. On Dr. Ibrahim Karim's desk is an abstract figure with the inscription “Only those who see the invisible, can do the impossible”. Chosen by his youngest daughter Doreya, it is the best description of him. What started off as an occasional gathering of friends grew over twenty years into a weekly pivot in the lives of many people of different ages, religions, professions, social background and nationalities. Unstructured lectures and dialogues about almost any subject, where Dr. Karim believed that he has learned as much as he has taught his holistic approach which he calls the BioGeometrical Way; a new and expanded world view; equally scientific and spiritual in essence. In his own words “to be truly holistic it must incorporate anything and everything”.BioGeometrical shapes interact with Earth's energy to produce a balancing effect on all energy levels of biological systems. Research into shapes of body organs led to the discovery of the relationship between of organ function, energy pattern, and shape. These patterns called “BioSignatures” produce, through resonance, a balance of energy and immunity that support orthodox and alternative medicine.___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS00:00 - Dr. Ibrahim Karim Intro00:40 - Multi-Dimensionality and Ancient Civilizations04:36 - Sensory Perception and the Projection of Reality08:11 - Linear Time, Cause and Effect, and Multidimensional Existence13:01 - The Dual Souls of Modern Humans16:48 - Sacredness of Animals in Ancient Egypt23:46 - The Great Shift: From Right Brain to Left Brain Perception25:59 - Ancient Egypt's 50,000-Year Legacy34:44 - The Neteru and Materialization of Gods in Ancient Egypt42:52 - The Role of Water in Sacred Power Spots51:18 - Evolution of Sacred Architecture into Pyramids56:11 - The Freemasons and Sacred Builders01:04:58 - The Birth of Biogeometry: Practical Science of Life Force01:07:02 - The Vortex: Accessing Multi-Dimensional Energy01:10:26 - Real-World Applications of Biogeometry 01:19:46 - Amplifying Pyramid Energy with Visualization01:29:05 - The Importance of Letting Go of Ego01:34:48 - The Universal Mind and Human Intention01:47:05 - Achieving Inner Balance Through Acceptance01:54:46 - Amplifying Life Force Energy Through Excellence01:58:15 - Dr. Karim's Message to Future Leaders___________________Guest: Dr. Ibrahim Karim, BioGeometry ® Website | https://www.biogeometry.ca/homeYouTube Channel | @BioGeometry Courses & Events | https://www.biogeometry.ca/courses-eventsBioGeometry ® Products | https://www.biogeometry.ca/biogeometry-products Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/ibrahim_karim_biogeometryHost: Emilio OrtizInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/iamemilioortiz/Subscribe to YouTube Channel | https://www.youtube.com/EmilioOrtiz Watch Emilio's latest series on 4biddenknowledge TV l https://bit.ly/AwakenThe6thSense___________________Special Offerings to Support the Show:✦ Make a One-Time or Recurring Donation on PayPal

Unstructured data comprises 80% of organizational information and often leads to significant productivity loss, with employees losing over three hours daily searching for files. Inefficient management of this data contributes to operational inefficiencies, missed opportunities, and high financial costs for businesses. Implementing knowledge management best practices can save organizations an average of 3.9 hours per employee weekly, enhancing productivity. To declutter unstructured data, businesses should conduct a digital audit, establish data governance policies, utilize AI tools for categorization, build a connected knowledge ecosystem, and maintain regular updates. The benefits of an organized data strategy include increased efficiency, improved decision-making, enhanced AI performance, and reduced operational costs. This commitment to decluttering supports sustained growth and positions organizations for success in the future.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

On this week's episode of Sense, by Meg Faure, we explore the transformative power of play in child development. Play is more than just fun; it's a cornerstone of learning, curiosity, and connection. Joining Meg is Lara Schoenfeldt, co-founder of PlaySense and an occupational therapist. Together, they dive into the profound impact play has on children's cognitive, emotional, and social growth. Whether you're a new parent or looking to enhance your child's playtime, this episode is packed with practical advice and fascinating insights. The Science Behind Play Play is critical for brain development, fostering connections between neurons through sensory and motor experiences. Lara explains the play cycle, showing how curiosity, exploration, and repetition fuel learning. Chemicals like dopamine and serotonin are released during play, reinforcing positive behaviors and supporting emotional growth. Structured vs. Unstructured Play The discussion highlights the importance of balancing structured and unstructured play. Structured play involves guidance and builds specific skills, like language and problem-solving. Unstructured play, or free play, allows children to explore, create, and develop independence. Both types of play are essential for holistic development. Practical Tips for Incorporating Play Lara shares actionable ways to integrate play into daily routines. These include simple activities like reading, messy play, and “serve and return” interactions. She emphasizes that the quality of parent-child engagement is more important than the type of play. Embracing Your Play Style Parents have unique strengths when it comes to play. Lara's parenting play style quiz helps identify these strengths. Understanding your style allows you to focus on enjoyable activities, making playtime meaningful for you and your child. The power of play cannot be overstated—it shapes your child's mind, emotions, and relationships. This podcast equips you with scientific insights and practical tools to make the most of playtime. Tune in to discover how small changes in your approach can unlock your child's full potential. Don't miss this enriching episode of Sense, by Meg Faure!

In this episode, Stephen Martin reflects on the transition into 2025, emphasizing the importance of understanding personal motivators, particularly for those with ADHD and dyslexia. He discusses how traditional motivators like rewards and consequences differ for neurodiverse individuals, who are often driven by interest, novelty, challenge, urgency, and passion. Stephen shares insights on how to leverage these motivators for personal growth and goal setting in the new year. Takeaways Reflecting on the past year is crucial for personal growth. Unstructured time can be beneficial for mental clarity. ADHD and dyslexia influence motivation differently than neurotypical individuals. Interest is a key motivator for neurodiverse people. Novelty can create excitement and drive action. Challenge and competition can be strong motivators for ADHD individuals. Urgency often compels action in neurodiverse minds. Passion fuels long-term engagement and motivation. Consequences may not effectively motivate neurodiverse individuals. Understanding personal motivators can lead to better goal setting. Keywords ADHD, dyslexia, motivation, neurodiversity, personal growth, 2025, interest, novelty, challenge, urgency, passion, adults with dyslexia, support for adults.

Tune in now and discover practical tips and heartwarming stories that will inspire you to add more play into your routine. Key Takeaways: Importance of Play: Play is crucial at all stages of development, not just early childhood. It supports critical thinking skills, creativity, problem-solving, and social and emotional development, which are essential for both neurotypical and neurodivergent children. Incorporating Play into Homeschooling: Play should be integrated into homeschooling to make learning enjoyable and effective. This can range from using building blocks and sensory bins for younger children to strategy games and creative projects for older kids. Adaptation of Play with Age: Play evolves as children grow. For young children, it might involve sensory play and role-playing. For older kids and teens, it can include activities like strategy games, creative hobbies, and physical activities. Educational Benefits of Play: Research indicates that playful learning is more effective than passive instruction. It allows kids to retain more information through hands-on, engaging activities. Social and Emotional Learning: Play enhances emotional intelligence and social skills. It helps children manage emotions, develop empathy, and understand different perspectives, which is especially beneficial for neurodivergent children. Unstructured vs. Structured Play: Both unstructured play (imaginative play, free play) and structured play (board games, organized sports) have unique educational benefits. Unstructured play fosters creativity and imagination, while structured play helps reinforce concepts and critical thinking. Play as a Gateway for Neurodivergent Kids: Playful learning can help neurodivergent children grasp difficult concepts more easily. For instance, kids with dyslexia might benefit from interactive word games, while children with dysgraphia could engage in playful handwriting exercises. Family Bonding through Play: Engaging in playful activities as a family strengthens bonds and creates lasting memories. This could be through family game nights, outdoor adventures, or creative projects done together. Resilience and Perseverance: Embracing play, even when it deviates from expectations, models resilience and perseverance for children. It demonstrates that it's okay to enjoy the learning process and adapt to different situations. Continual Offering of Play: For children who resist play, it's important to keep offering and introducing new playful activities. Over time, they may find something that resonates with them, making learning more engaging and enjoyable. Here's a challenge for you -- reflect on your week's learning adventures and share them on social media (don't forget to tag us!) or with us directly through the Learner's Lab.

Guest: Nick Caruso Guest Bio: Nick Caruso's career, spanning over twenty years in the tech startup sector, is distinguished by his innovative use of AI across national security, financial services, and Fortune 1000 companies. His early endeavors in the 2000s, through strategic collaborations with the U.S. Intelligence community via IQT, demonstrated his commitment to employing state-of-the-art technology for critical national security initiatives. This early work laid the groundwork for his later projects, notably his transformative impact on the mortgage industry through automation, significantly boosting both efficiency and precision.

His efforts in addressing the system's bottlenecks not only sped up reviews but also showcased the transformative capabilities of AI in making traditional operations more streamlined and effective.
