With trillions spent on digital ads to capture consumer attention, is the most powerful and effective channel for product discovery the one your brand is overlooking?Agility requires brands to move beyond a digital-only mindset and recognize that the modern customer journey fluidly moves between online and offline moments. It means building the capabilities to engage and measure impact in the physical world with the same precision we've come to expect from digital.Today, we're going to talk about the next evolution of retail media and why the physical store, far from being obsolete, is becoming the next great frontier for data-rich, high-impact customer engagement. We'll explore how brands can bridge the gap between their digital strategies and in-store realities to not only drive discovery but create measurable, full-funnel marketing moments.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Matt Eichorn, CEO and Co-Founder and Dilini Fernando, CMO at Freeosk.About Matt EichornVisionary entrepreneur Matt Eichorn has been at the forefront of evolving brand and shopper marketing experiences for the better part of 20 years.

Holly Koehler has spent almost thirty years in rooms most people never think about: windowless UN offices in New York, the FAO in Rome, and what she calls "oftentimes very boring hotel ballrooms around the world," where countries hash out how the ocean actually gets managed. She's the Vice President of Policy and Outreach at the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF), and before that she spent thirteen years at the U.S. State Department's Office of Marine Conservation, chairing international fisheries negotiations. In this episode, she walks Andrew through how a grad-school internship on sea turtles turned into a career built entirely around one question: how do you manage a species that ignores every border humans have drawn? Andrew and Holly cover what a Regional Fisheries Management Organization (RFMO) actually is and why nearly the entire ocean is already covered by one, why she says listening, not legal expertise, is the most important skill she's ever used at the negotiating table, and the story behind an all-night Thanksgiving session that produced a landmark UN resolution protecting deep-sea corals and seamounts from bottom trawling. Holly also explains why ISSF treats governance as being just as important as fishing practices, drawing a direct line from her anthropology background to her belief that governance is what civilization itself is built on, and breaks down exactly how ISSF's audits and public compliance data connect to the eco-labels shoppers see on a can of tuna. This is the episode the whole week has been building toward. If you've been following along with Monday through Thursday's solo episodes, you've already heard the RFMO explainer, the bottom-trawling story, and the High Seas Treaty history. Here, Holly connects all of it, in her own words, including a memorable detail that resolves a question left open earlier in the week: which UN resolution she was actually in the room for. Takeaways: International fisheries governance runs through treaty-based RFMOs that nearly every country with a stake in a fishery has legally bound itself to join and follow. The negotiating skill Holly says matters most isn't legal expertise, it's listening for what a country means behind what it says, since "where you stand depends on where you sit." The all-night Thanksgiving session that produced UN Resolution 61/105, the landmark bottom-trawling and seamount protections covered in this show's Tuesday companion episode, was chaired by Holly herself. Holly measures negotiating success by getting an agreement strong enough to matter while keeping every country that needs to ratify or implement it "inside the tent." ISSF doesn't certify fisheries itself. It builds the audited evidence trail, through annual company audits and public vessel compliance data, that feeds into the Marine Stewardship Council certification a shopper actually sees on a label.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm so honored to have back on the show once again: Cult and cult abuse survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, Vice President of the non-profit Tucson Pops Orchestra, freelance social media photographer, future cosmetology school graduate, Penn State University alum, former Digital Content Creator for KGUN 9, artist, creative, and an incredible hero who has stepped up to break the silence on cult abuse and to educate on how victims can take steps to get out: Caleb Fernandez A little bit about Caleb if you're new here, if you missed his first testimony episode or if you need a little refresher:Born into a Southern California cult that wove its tendrils through generations, Caleb entered this world already entangled in a web of ritualized abuse, mind manipulation and control, and the haunting machinery of coercion. Church leaders were not distant figures but active participants in his suffering and trauma. He endured the silent screams of childhood trauma, brushes with human trafficking disguised as “mission trips,” and the insidious grip of unclean spirits that he boldly names within the walls of Calvary Chapel - an organization he unflinchingly calls a cult whose chains must be shattered and exposed so others can breathe free.Yet even as a little boy, a light inside of him refused to be extinguished. While others bowed under the weight of fear and dogma, Caleb discovered a secret language louder than any threat: the power of creation. From his earliest school days, he poured his entire being into musical theater, where performance, music, and collective artistry became his sanctuary. On stage, under lights that felt like an escape from reality, he found a voice that could not be silenced. That creative current - raw, resilient, and radiant - carried him forward like a river carving through stone. It led him to Penn State University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in advertising and public relations, armed with the tools of storytelling and influence. From there, he soared to New York City, mastering production, photography, and art direction - skills that would later become both his personal expression and his weapons of advocacy.Today, at 33, Caleb stands as living proof that survival is not mere endurance - it is alchemical transformation. His escape, hard-won and culminating in 2025, was no quiet exit but a triumphant breaking of chains. Every step forward has been an act of radical courage. Now free, he channels that hard-won wisdom into lifting others up as a dedicated survivor advocate and whistleblower. As vice president of the nonprofit Tucson Pops Orchestra, he turns music into medicine and community into sanctuary - proof that the same hands once bound by control can now conduct symphonies of healing. He continues as a freelance social media photographer and strategic digital creative, drawing on expertise in still and moving images, retouching, scripting, editing, event planning, and brand representation. With cosmetology school on the horizon, his creative vision expands ever outward, crafting beauty from the very places where darkness once tried to claim him.ButCaleb is so much more than a survivor. He is a living harmony of resilience - a man who gathered the shattered notes of his past and composed a future filled with purpose, artistry, and fierce advocacy. His testimony is not only deeply moving; it is irrefutable evidence and an urgent beacon: Calvary Chapel operates as a cult, and there are practical, life-saving steps anyone still trapped inside can take to break free. He gives a voice to the silenced and a torch to the weary. His story reminds every person who has ever felt trapped, silenced, or broken that the light inside you is stronger than any cult, any abuse, and any chain.From the depths of unimaginable darkness, Caleb has risen—not merely to survive, but to sing, to create, to lead, and to show others the way out. His voice carries the unmistakable frequency of freedom, and that sound is changing lives. In him, we see not just the power of one soul to reclaim itself, but the promise that every shattered life can become a masterpiece of hope. Rise with him. Hear his song. And know that freedom is possible.

Send us Fan MailRobert States is Vice President of Technical Services at Cormica Medical Device & Pharmaceutical Testing, where he supports clients across medical device, pharmaceutical, and combination product testing. His work spans development strategy, risk management, testing strategy, process development, supply chain optimization, and regulatory-minded technical problem solving. Cormica's announcement of his appointment highlighted his role in strengthening global technical services across UK, US, and EU laboratories.  Before joining Cormica, Rob spent more than 20 years at Stress Engineering Services, where he held leadership roles across medical device and pharma, consumer products, strategic client engagement, and consulting. Stress Engineering's medical and pharmaceutical practice focuses on product design, analysis, testing, failure analysis, material science, packaging, manufacturing support, reliability, and regulatory-grade engineering solutions—areas that align closely with Rob's career-long focus on helping organizations solve difficult technical and business problems.  Rob's technical foundation is in plastics engineering, supported by an MBA from Ashland University and a BS in Plastics Engineering from Penn State. Over his career, he has worked across companies including Procter & Gamble, Newell Brands, Stress Engineering Services, Accelitek, and now Cormica. His experience gives him a rare perspective that bridges hands-on engineering, product development, failure remediation, consulting, business strategy, and executive-level technical leadership. A central theme of this conversation is how engineers can thrive in corporate R&D environments. Rob wants to explore the intersection of budgeting, project success, layoffs, and business performance—and how engineers can use that understanding to make better decisions, protect their careers, and create more value for their organizations. Rather than treating corporate realities as distractions from engineering, Rob sees them as forces engineers can learn to understand and navigate.  LINKS: Robert States LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/plasticpro/ Cormica Website: https://www.cormica.com/Aaron Moncur, host PDX 2026 is October 20-21 in Phoenix, AZ.  Learn more and register at https://pdexpo.engineer/  Subscribe to the show to get notified so you don't miss new episodes every Friday.The Being An Engineer podcast is brought to you by Pipeline Design & Engineering.

For decades, large corporations have privatized their massive profits while quietly shifting environmental, social, and health costs onto the public. Unpacking these systemic costs is central to the discussion in The Profiteers, which diagnoses how business practices impact society at large. In this episode, host Corinna Bellizzi speaks with Christopher Marquis, Professor of Chinese Management at the University of Cambridge Judge Business School and author of Better Business, to analyze the hidden mechanics of corporate externalities. From plastics lobbying and regulatory co-optation to visionary models of regenerative agriculture and foundation ownership, they explore why exposing systemic corporate abuse is the first crucial step toward real reform. Discover how innovative enterprise models, policy levers, and conscious consumer choices can help build a truly sustainable and regenerative economy. About Guest: Professor Marquis' research and teaching focus on how some of the biggest crises of our day – including climate change, inequality, and discrimination – are intimately connected to how our current economic and societal systems prioritize accumulating and concentrating wealth for the few over the concerns and needs of everyone and everything else. His research and writing focus on the need to rebalance the interactions between corporations, governments, and civil society to deliver socially and environmentally beneficial outcomes to all. Marquis is the author of The Profiteers: How Business Privatizes Profits and Socialize Costs. His earlier books include the award-winning Better Business: How the B Corp Movement is Remaking Capitalism and Mao and Markets: The Communist Roots of Chinese Enterprise, which was a Financial Times Best Book of 2022. He has also authored more than 20 peer-reviewed academic articles and more than 50 Harvard business cases on topics related to social innovation, sustainable business and doing business in China. Professor Marquis served 2 terms as an Associate Editor at Administrative Science Quarterly and has also been a Senior Editor at Organization Science and Management and Organization Review. He has also served a term as Representative at Large for the International Association for Chinese Management Research (IACMR) and Organization and Management Theory Division, Academy of Management. Before returning to academia, Marquis was a Vice President and Technology Manager at JP Morgan Chase. He currently is on the sustainability advisory board of the French multinational Sanofi Consumer Healthcare.

In 2017, journalist Katie Sanders discovered an episode of a radio program called This Is Your Life. It was a scratchy recording from 1949, and she heard the voice of 2nd Lt. Murray Simon, her grandfather, for the first time. In the episode, Murray was reunited with a man named Peter Ortiz, who had rescued him after his plane crashed over Nazi-occupied France in 1944. Ortiz became one of the most decorated Marine officers of World War II, undertaking missions now handled by units like the Navy SEALs and Green Berets. Katie and Nicholas Reynolds, a former CIA historian, went on to write Ortiz's War.

Everyone wants the shortcut. But the real move is this - build the resume, then build the relationships. Tag someone who needs this reminder. Ashaunte McLean said his career didn't take off because of one degree or one big break. It was: showing up early reaching out before the event learning how to pitch himself in 30 seconds taking the shot even after a bunch of no's That's the part people skip. The MBA opened the door. The hustle walked him through it. And honestly, that's the game in 2026 too. Your degree can help, but your effort is what gets remembered.

You're a contractor, you're busy, and you're tired of LinkedIn consultants telling you that you'll be left behind if you don't embrace AI right now. Smart move to tune out the hype — but here's the catch: while you're waiting for the noise to die down, a few of your competitors are quietly using these tools to save hours every week. Not on flashy stuff. On the boring stuff. Meeting minutes, SOPs, pulling scope language out of a 200-page addendum. Dimitri Sidiropoulos is the Vice President of Delphi Plumbing and Heating, a heavy mechanical self-performing public works contractor in New York City. He's not a tech bro — he's a working contractor who decided to actually try ChatGPT for a year inside his construction company. In this conversation, Eric and Dimitri get into what works, what doesn't, where it saves him hours, where the proposal bot he tried to build had to be abandoned, and where that last 20% will nail you if you're not paying attention. If you've been waiting for someone to give you a no-hype, on-the-ground answer to "should I actually be using ChatGPT?" — grab a notepad. This is the conversation.   What you'll learn: Why the first move with AI isn't asking it to do work — it's letting it interview you How Dimitri spent three days in back-and-forth with ChatGPT to give it real context about his business The "Jarvis to Iron Man" framework: AI enhances the operator, it doesn't replace the brain Where ChatGPT shines: meeting minutes, SOPs, pulling scope from addenda, three/five/ten-year strategic planning Where it falls down: custom proposal bots, takeoffs of pipe and fittings, anything that depends on means and methods Why "80% of the way there in five minutes" beats "80% of the way there in a day and a half" How to ask AI for its sources so you can spot hallucinations early Why writing emails with AI can hurt the relationships you've built The first move on Monday morning if you're an AI-skeptic contractor   Connect with Dimitri Delphi Plumbing & Heating: www.delphiph.com Dimitri on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/dimitri-sidiropoulos-b4485190 Delphi on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/delphiph

Dr. Matthew Bunson, Vice President and Editorial Director of EWTN News, joins the Son Rise Morning Show to discuss the life and holiness of St. Louis IX, King of France. Dr. Bunson begins with the profound influence of Louis' mother, Blanche of Castile, who taught her son to love God above everything—even telling him she would rather see him dead than commit a mortal sin. From there, they explore Louis' remarkable example of Christian kingship, his efforts to establish justice and fair trials, his care for the poor, his patronage of the arts and architecture, and the building of the Sainte-Chapelle to house the Crown of Thorns. The conversation also examines Louis' participation in the Crusades, his reputation as a peacemaker and arbiter among European rulers, and what his life can teach Catholics today about leadership, responsibility, and putting Christ first. St. Louis IX's enduring message is simple: whatever our station in life, Christ must come before everything else.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the biggest barrier to scaling your retail media investment isn't technology, but a fundamental disagreement on what success even looks like?Agility requires not just adopting new tools, but also being willing to challenge the measurement frameworks we've grown accustomed to.Today, we're going to talk about the nuanced world of in-store retail media measurement and why the old rules no longer apply. Specifically, we'll cover:- Why the standard approach to measuring in-store media, often borrowed from digital, is creating friction and stalling budget growth.- How to create a unified measurement language that aligns brands, retailers, and agencies around a common definition of success.- Practical steps to move in-store media from experimental budgets to scalable, repeatable investments grounded in actual product movement.To help me discuss this topic and ISM and IAB's recent report, I'd like to welcome Paul Brenner, SVP, Global Retail Media and Partnerships at In-Store Marketplace (ISM) and Collin Colburn, Vice President, Commerce & Retail Media at IAB) and Collin Colburn, Vice President, Commerce & Retail Media at IAB.About Paul BrennerPaul Brenner is Senior Vice President of Retail Media and Partnerships with 25+ years of leadership in media, entertainment, and ad tech.

Emile “The Cat” Francis was a Vice President and General Manager for the Blues during the franchise’s most turbulent period in the late 1970’s and early 80’s. This after a mostly minor-league playing career as a goaltender. Susie Mathieu, a Blues Hall of Famer, worked alongside him as PR and Communications Director during that time and tells some great stories about Mr. Francis. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1982.

The dangers of the woke revolution and its impact on Western civilization. Seth discusses the growing influence of Islamist extremism and its infiltration into mainstream society, citing examples of politicians and public figures who are promoting Sharia law and Islamic ideology. The conversation also touches on the erosion of free speech and the consequences of labeling criticism of Islam as "Islamophobia." The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Joint Terrorism Task Force have thwarted an attempted bombing of the New York Capitol in Albany, arresting and charging Jessica Bowie, a 35-year-old convert to Islam and supporter of the Islamic State; commonly known as ISIS. We're joined by Johnny Estes, Vice President of Operations, of CMI Gold & Silver. Seth and Mr. Bill discuss Producer David Doll's early departure.

Rebecca Grant, Vice President of the Lexington Institute, discusses technological advancements on the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford. She details the transition from traditional steam-powered catapults to modern electromagnetic aircraft launch systems (EMALS), which offer superior, adjustable torque to launch both lightweight drones and heavily armed fighter jets. Additionally, Grant highlights the ship's new electromagnetic advanced weapons elevators, which double the capacity of older Nimitz-class systems and move much faster to significantly improve sortie generation rates. However, a White House executive order directing a study to reconsider steam systems threatens to disrupt these advancements. Grant warns that backtracking to older technology on carriers currently in construction, like the CVN-81, could delay delivery by up to seven years, creating dangerous operational gaps as Chinese naval threats rise in the Pacific. (1)

TABLE OF CONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-19-2026Rebecca Grant, Vice President of the Lexington Institute, discusses technological advancements on the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford. She details the transition from traditional steam-powered catapults to modern electromagnetic aircraft launch systems (EMALS), which offer superior, adjustable torque to launch both lightweight drones and heavily armed fighter jets. Additionally, Grant highlights the ship's new electromagnetic advanced weapons elevators, which double the capacity of older Nimitz-class systems and move much faster to significantly improve sortie generation rates. However, a White House executive order directing a study to reconsider steam systems threatens to disrupt these advancements. Grant warns that backtracking to older technology on carriers currently in construction, like the CVN-81, could delay delivery by up to seven years, creating dangerous operational gaps as Chinese naval threats rise in the Pacific. (1)Rick Fisher of the International Assessment and Strategy Center analyzes China's advancement in space and its competition with the United States. Fisher discusses China's Gandai constellation, a space debris monitoring satellite system controlled by the People's Liberation Army (PLA), which tracked a SpaceX Falcon 9 booster crashing near the moon's Einstein crater from over 380,000 kilometers away. He warns that this constellation can perform dual-use military targeting for space combat and missile defense. Fisher criticizes China's lack of transparency, noting its refusal to give advance notice for earthbound ICBM tests and its intention to let expendable propulsion stages crash into the lunar surface. Finally, he highlights the rapid progress of China's LandSpace with its liquid-fueled, methane-oxygen-powered reusable Zhuque-3 rocket, predicting that ten Chinese companies will offer cheap reusable launch services within five years and directly undercut Western competitors. (2)Greg Scarlatoiu, President and CEO of the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, analyzes the multifaceted security threats posed by Pyongyang. Scarlatoiu describes North Korea as a post-communist, dynastic kleptocracy and a crime family masquerading as a nation-state. Under Kim Jong-un, the regime has consolidated its intelligence and police agencies while streamlining its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Scarlatoiu explains that North Korea's war economy exploits its people's human rights and security to fund weapons, which it now exports globally to Russia and Iran. The discussion, co-hosted by Gordon Chang, highlights active military provocations along the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), including recent boundary crossings. Finally, Scarlatoiu and Chang evaluate how controversial remarks by the Trump administration praising Kim Jong-un have strained trust in extended deterrence and undermined relationships within the vital US-South Korea alliance. (3)Craig Unger, investigative reporter and author, explores President Donald Trump's unstable foreign policy toward Russia and Ukraine. Unger contends that Trump behaves as a Russian appeaser whose real estate-linked advisers take marching orders from Vladimir Putin. The discussion highlights how Ukrainian-manufactured drones have successfully targeted Russian oil refineries, causing severe fuel shortages and long gas lines across Russia. While these military successes initially impressed Trump, leading him to publicly promise Patriot missiles and production technology to President Zelenskyy, Unger reveals that Trump subsequently withheld this critical support. Unger cautions that as Putin faces an existential crisis and potential military defeat, he may launch a limited incursion into Baltic states like Estonia or Poland. This would trigger NATO's Article 5, which Unger warns Trump would likely refuse to honor, thereby destroying the Western alliance. (4)Caleb Weiss of the Bridgeway Foundation and the Foundation for Defense of Democracies examines the evolution of African jihadist movements. Weiss details the case of Jamal Chima, a Ugandan Guantanamo Bay alumnus who transitioned from Al-Qaeda to recruiting for the Islamic State Central African Province (ISCAP) in Kampala. Weiss explains that East African court systems frequently experience "catch and release" cycles due to strict evidentiary demands for terrorism cases. The segment also addresses the kidnapping of missionary Kevin Rideout by the Islamic State Sahel Province. Weiss describes how these groups raise funds through lucrative ransoms, utilizing regional coordination hubs like the Al-Furqan and Al-Karrar offices to move capital globally to active cells in regions like Afghanistan. Finally, he notes that eastern Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar has leveraged anti-jihadist operations to secure Western backing. (5)Michael Bernstam of the Hoover Institution warns of a severe global crisis in refined petroleum products, especially diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel. Bernstam explains that the "crack spread"—the cost differential between crude oil and refined diesel—has reached an unprecedented historical peak of over $102 per barrel. This crisis stems from a fifty-year systemic failure, during which no major new refineries were built in the United States or Europe. Compounding this, sophisticated Ukrainian drone strikes have successfully knocked out 40% of Russia's refining capacity, forcing the major oil exporter to ban refined product exports and become an importer. Additionally, China has halted refined exports to meet its domestic demand. Bernstam warns that the resulting global diesel shortage directly threatens agricultural planting, harvesting, and regional food security, particularly for developing nations as winter approaches. (6)Peter Huessy of the Gold Institute for International Strategy critiques the Hollywood film House of Dynamite for its inaccurate depiction of US nuclear command and control. Huessy argues that the movie relies on flawed premises, such as the sudden, unexplained failure of Defense Support Program (DSP) tracking satellites and the total failure of US missile defense interceptors, to fabricate a helpless crisis scenario. He highlights that actual US missile defenses achieve 75% to 85% success in tests and up to 98% in combat scenarios like Israel's missile defense systems. Huessy strongly refutes the film's negative portrayal of military leadership as reckless warmongers and its central message that nuclear deterrence is ineffective. He asserts that the nuclear triad has successfully and perfectly preserved global peace for eighty years, keeping the country safe. (7)Simon Constable, writer for the Wall Street Journal, discusses European climate anomalies and their severe impact on global commodities. Speaking from the south of France, Constable reports temperatures reaching 35 degrees Celsius, contributing to low water levels in the Danube, Rhine, and Po rivers. These climate constraints, alongside maritime blockades of Ukrainian ports, have driven up prices for energy, wheat, and coffee. Turning to UK politics, Constable criticizes Prime Minister Keir Starmer for failing to spur house-building and notes that regional politicians like Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham lack an international profile. Finally, he reviews a longevity quiz from the Wall Street Journal, which highlights that the wealthiest Americans live fourteen years longer than the poorest. He notes that Japan leads the world in centenarians, emphasizing that geographic location and financial wealth are pivotal factors in determining an individual's healthy lifespan. (8)Andrea Stricker of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies examines Middle Eastern nuclear proliferation and the mystery surrounding legacy materials. Stricker details a positive, US-brokered development in which the post-AssadSyrian government agreed to cooperate and turn over legacy yellowcake uranium stored at a covert facility known as Site 99. This material was intended for a North Korean-built plutonium-producing reactor at Al-Kibar, which was destroyed by Israel in 2007. Despite long-standing Syrian secrecy and the site changing hands among various factions, environmental sampling by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed undeclared, man-made uranium particles at multiple locations. Stricker also raises concerns regarding Turkey's nuclear ambitions, highlighting its civilian programs' potential military purposes and Turkey's recent attempt to secure raw uranium contracts with the military regime in Niger. (9)Joel Kotkin, senior research fellow at the Civitas Institute at the University of Texas at Austin, examines California's economic and demographic challenges. Kotkin notes that California is on the verge of losing its population lead as middle-class families vote with their feet and move to states like Texas. He attributes this out-migration to exorbitant housing costs, a severe shortage of upwardly mobile middle-class jobs, and high electricity prices that hamper manufacturing and modern technology sectors like artificial intelligence. Furthermore, Kotkin highlights systemic social issues, including high teen unemployment, rising store break-ins, and a deteriorating public education system. These factors have depleted the state's middle class, leaving the tax base heavily dependent on a wealthy top one percent who can easily relocate to lower-tax states like Florida. Kotkin warns that this loss of middle-class families threatens California's future tax base and demographic vitality. (10)Corrections applied, several pending your confirmation: Bridgeway Foundation (transcribed as "Ridgeway," segment 5 — Weiss's actual affiliation), Al-Furqan and Al-Karrar offices (transcribed as "Al-Furkan and Al-Karr" — the standard renderings of the ISIS regional offices), LandSpace and Zhuque-3 (transcribed as "Land Space Corporation" and "Juk 3" — the Chinese firm and its rocket), Zelenskyy per house style, and "yellow cake" → yellowcake. One flag: "Gandaiconstellation" (segment 2) — I couldn't verify that name; the audio may be rendering a Chinese program name roughly, worth checking with the transcript or Fisher's notes. In segment 8, note the source describes Keir Starmer as PM and Andy Burnham as Manchester Mayor — this contradicts the recent batches where Burnham is PM. I've left it as the source has it since it's Constable's segment, but flag it if the summary tool garbled the timeline.R

President Donald Trump this week issued a stern warning to any nation wanting to offer aid to Iran after announcing the launch of a U.S. sanctions operation he likened to an "economic D-Day." The new sanctions announcement comes amid a maximum pressure campaign, including the naval blockade, to get Iran to capitulate. The President also threatened to bomb Oman if the country acts as a barrier to reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a major point of contention on both sides of the conflict.

Dr. Karen Litzy is joined by Dr. Pedro Teixeira, Vice President of AI Engineering at Prompt Health and former co-founder and CEO of Prediction Health, for a practical conversation about how AI fits into healthcare workflows. Pedro breaks down the differences among automation, AI, and agentic systems and explains why the best tools support clinicians rather than replace their judgment. This episode focuses on what clinic owners and clinicians should look for when evaluating AI tools: workflow fit, safety, latency, cost, and whether the system improves over time. If you want a grounded, non-hype conversation about AI in healthcare, this is a useful one. Key topics ·       In this episode, Karen and Pedro compare thoughtful AI vs powerful AI and why workflow fit matters as much as model capability. ·       Pedro explains latency in practical terms, including why perceived delay matters and how feedback like loading states can make AI feel faster. ·       They unpack tokens, model size, and cost, including why input and output usage can change pricing so quickly. ·       Pedro shares how AI can work in the background across notes, codes, compliance checks, and analytics for clinic owners. ·       The conversation covers HIPAA, PHI, encryption, sandboxing, and limited tool access as essential safeguards for healthcare AI. ·       Pedro distinguishes automation, AI, and agentic systems, with examples of when rules are enough and when messy data really does call for AI. ·       They compare predictive vs generative models and explain why generating plausible text is not the same as forecasting a clinical outcome. ·       Karen and Pedro discuss how some clinics are using AI as a decision support tool, while still keeping humans in control of final decisions. ·       Pedro emphasizes that clinic owners should think in terms of systems, including what happens when AI works well and when it fails. ·       He closes with a simple evaluation question for any AI pitch: How does this system get better over time? Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction and why Pedro Teixeira is a grounded voice on AI in healthcare 01:24 - Why thoughtful AI matters more than powerful AI 03:57 - What latency means and why perceived speed changes the user experience 05:16 - How models work with transcripts, prompts, and tokens 07:24 - What tokens are and why AI bills can rise fast 09:13 - The real cost of large models, GPUs, and background processing 11:23 - How AI can quietly support clinic analytics and business coaching 13:13 - Why healthcare AI must stay closed loop and HIPAA safe 15:13 - Automation vs AI vs agentic systems 18:59 - Predictive vs generative models explained for clinic owners 21:45 - When AI can predict patterns from clinician notes and when it cannot 24:03 - How power user clinics are using AI tools in practice 25:56 - Why AI should do what clinicians decide, not decide for them 28:37 - Designing AI around systems, workflows, and failure states 30:22 - Using SOPs and training docs to think through AI implementation 31:57 - How clinic owners should evaluate whether to bring AI into the practice 35:53 - The one question to ask any AI vendor: how does it improve over time? 37:00 - Final takeaways and encouraging clinics to experiment 38:02 - Lightning round: overhyped AI tools in healthcare 39:20 - What clinicians should understand about how AI really works 40:50 - What Pedro would do if he were not building healthcare AI 41:41 - Real world learning, messy data, and why experience matters 42:59 - Pedro's health habits and the AI built tracker on his watch 44:15 - Where to find Pedro and Prompt Health Notable quotes "Thoughtful AI is really taking into account where are people using it, how does it fit into their day to day?"

Servant Leadership: Are You Avoiding It? What if the biggest leadership breakthrough of your career isn’t a new strategy, a new title, or a new set of KPIs — but a philosophy you’ve been overlooking your whole career? That’s the question at the heart of today’s show. At 5pm Eastern on “A New Direction with Coach Jay,” I’m sitting down live with Mark Miller — co-author, alongside legendary leadership expert Ken Blanchard, of the newly revised and expanded 4th edition of “The Secret: What Great Leaders Know and Do.” Blanchard and Miller say 82 percent of managers struggle to lead effectively, and their answer to why is deceptively simple: servant leadership. If that number makes you uncomfortable, good — that’s exactly why this conversation matters. “The Secret” isn’t your typical leadership book stacked with theory and jargon. It’s a business fable — the story of Debbie Brewster, a newly promoted executive who’s drowning in low morale, high turnover, and a team that’s losing faith in her. Her mentor hands her one deceptively simple truth: great leaders serve. That’s servant leadership in action, and it plays out through the five practices of the SERVE model — seeing the future, engaging and developing others, reinventing continuously, valuing both results and relationships, and embodying the values you claim to hold. What makes this conversation especially powerful is who’s sitting across from me. Mark Miller didn’t study servant leadership from a distance — he lived it. He walked into Chick-fil-A as the company’s 16th employee, starting out in the warehouse and mailroom, and spent the next 45 years working his way up through Corporate Communications, Field Operations, and Training and Development before retiring as Vice President of High-Performance Leadership. That’s a quarter century spent directing research and initiatives worth tens of millions of dollars to figure out, test, and validate what actually works when you’re trying to lead people well.  This is a man who has been in the trenches — which means today’s conversation isn’t theory, it’s tested truth. So here’s what we’ll be digging into together: why so many capable, hardworking managers still fail to lead effectively — and what the small percentage who practice true servant leadership are doing differently. We’ll talk about what it really means to “see the future” as a leader, why reinventing yourself never stops being optional, and how you rebuild trust and credibility once it’s been damaged.  Whether you’re leading a team of two or two thousand, this episode is going to hand you a servant leadership framework you can start using before the day is over. If you would like engage Mark’s services you can call him on his cell phone directly: 678-612-8441 or email Mark, mark@leadeveryday.com Ken Blanchard & Mark Miller‘s book, “The Secret: What Great Leaders Know and Do, , 4th Edition, Revised and Expanded” is what I would refer to as a timeless guide for those seeking to be great leaders.  Why do I say timeless?  Because the principles in this book would work in the first century and will work any time in the future. I had never read the previous versions of the book, so I do not know what to compare it to, but I can tell you that was fundamental mind shifts in every single chapter.  The book is counter-intuitive for those leaders that believe they must be in control.  Yes, you need to be valuing results, but if you want your leadership to translate into great results you need to value those relationships both inside and outside of your organization or business. You have probably heard the term “servant leadership”.  But you may have not really thought how a leader actually serves others.  Well, this is where the book sets itself apart from other books.  It doesn’t just talk about it as a philosophical ideal, but puts into practical terms that translate into greater profits, and truly having a great team. I truly enjoyed reading every page of this book.  What I pulled from The Secret was more than a great story that surrounded the main principles of SERVE, but also the valuable practical nuggets that made me think, and that I could apply to my own leadership immediately.  Do yourself and your business a huge favor and get it.

ABOUT YOUR HOST Meet Jay Izso Executive Performance Coach  |  Host of A New Direction Every week on A New Direction, I sit down with CEOs, founders, and the researchers behind the science of leadership performance. The conversations go deep. We talk about the decisions that built companies, the mistakes that nearly destroyed them, and the personal breakthroughs that changed everything. But here's what most people don't know about me: the show is an extension of the work I do every day with executives behind closed doors. Who I Am I'm an Executive Performance Coach. I work with CEOs and founders of $5M-$50M companies who have hit a wall they can't explain. The marketing looks fine. The team is capable. The market is there. But the business won't move. The problem, almost every time, is the person running it. I find the personal behavioral patterns that are driving the business dysfunction. Then I help the CEO disrupt those patterns so the company can grow. That's it. No motivational platitudes. No vision boards. Diagnostics, intervention, results. Where This Comes From My approach comes from two places most coaches never set foot in. The farm. I grew up as a farmhand in Ithaca, Nebraska—population 100. I started working at nine years old. By the time I left for college, I'd spent a decade learning that you can't cheat the harvest, pain is part of the job, and the work has to get done whether you feel like it or not. I was fourteen the first time I had to castrate boars. Nobody was going to do it for me. That lesson never left: sometimes you have to do things afraid. The forensic psychology unit. In graduate school at Washington State University, I trained under Dr. Thomas Brigham—co-author of the Handbook of Applied Behavior Analysis—in a human behavior lab focused on real-world problems. I then served in a Clinical Psych II role at Eastern State Hospital in Medical Lake, Washington, a forensic setting where I conducted psychological evaluations of individuals charged with the most serious criminal offenses. Sixteen months assessing human behavior at its most extreme taught me how to cut through defenses, identify what's really driving someone's decisions, and see what they can't see in themselves.

Hunting access, conservation funding, and the right to hunt and fish are all facing major battles nationwide. The sportsmen's policy landscape is moving fast, with more than 100 state-level policy wins already secured this year and hundreds more issues still in play. Brent Miller, Vice President of Policy at the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation, breaks down the biggest victories, ongoing fights, and emerging threats facing hunters and anglers across the United States. The conversation covers major progress on Sunday hunting in the Northeast, including expanded opportunities in Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Connecticut. Miller also explains how no-net-loss laws are protecting hunting and fishing access, including 300,000 acres secured in South Carolina, and why conservation funding remains critical to state wildlife agencies and federal Pittman-Robertson and Dingell-Johnson funding. The discussion also tackles hunter education in schools, efforts to strengthen the right to hunt and fish, and the defeat of Oregon IP 28, a ballot initiative that would have banned hunting, fishing, and trapping statewide. Colorado's proposed constitutional right to hunt and fish is another major focus, along with the broader fight over ballot-box biology. Looking ahead, Miller previews the National Assembly of Sportsmen's Caucuses Summit, including controversial issues such as open fields, genetic modification of wildlife, and a new conservation literacy initiative designed to introduce young people to hunting, fishing, and the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation.

Jacob Kosior has over ten years of experience in the multifamily housing industry, spanning operations, marketing, and centralization efforts across conventional, student housing, affordable housing, and build-to-rent communities. He previously served as Vice President of Centralized Services at Cardinal Group Management and has held leadership positions with BH Management, The Dinerstein Companies, and CA Ventures. In 2022, while founding a centralized services team at Cardinal Group, Jacob began testing AI tools across the housing space and co-developed a delinquency AI product for rent collection with the EliseAI team. Today he is at EliseAI, where he works with operators of all sizes to implement AI tools, manage the change required for the technology to stick, and rethink how work gets structured across a portfolio. In this episode, Jacob Kosior breaks down how multifamily operators are actually deploying AI, where to start, and what agentic AI changes about the way workflows get built. Drawing on a decade in operations before moving to the technology side, Jacob explains why leasing is the natural entry point, why speed is becoming the metric that matters more than conversion rate alone, and why owners who call their own properties tend to misjudge voice AI. He and John also work through the harder question operators face once automation is in place: what the human team should be doing instead.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways Start with leasing, where the tasks are repetitive and already documented Build AI workflows on the same follow-up cadence you train your onsite teams on Track speed alongside conversion rates, because faster cycles compound Decide where human touchpoints serve the customer, not just the org chart Redeploy the hours AI frees up into experience or revenue generating work Ask questions early, since lacking internal AI talent is the most common barrier     Topics From Operations to the Technology Side Jacob spent over a decade in multifamily operations before moving into AI Founding a centralized services team at Cardinal Group in 2022 pushed him to demo every tool available He co-developed a delinquency AI tool and a centralized call center product with EliseAI before joining the company What Agentic AI Actually Changes Generative AI answers prompts; agentic AI follows a workflow toward a defined goal Goals map to work teams already do: book the tour, collect the rent, sign the renewal Operators now control the steps the AI follows, mirroring how they train staff onsite Why Leasing Is the Place to Start Leasing represents the repetitive, high-volume work teams handle every day The old five point follow-up has become 8 to 9 touches per prospect to convert AI works the weekend leads so agents start Monday on tours instead of backlog Who EliseAI Serves The platform crossed 6 million units earlier this year, roughly 1 in 6 US apartments Clients range from top 50 operators to regional operators with a few hundred units Over a billion AI conversations give the platform context on industry edge cases Speed as the Metric Owners Miss The industry tracks conversion rates closely and speed almost not at all A 20% lead-to-tour rate achieved in two hours beats the same rate in two days An assistant manager calls one delinquent resident at a time; AI calls the building Faster cycles give owners earlier visibility into collections, renewals, and leasing velocity Rethinking the ROI Question Operators who never calculated the ROI of a leasing agent struggle to value the AI doing that work The 2025 conversation was about ROI; the 2026 conversation is about creating value Freed capacity opens the door to restructuring teams, not just cutting tasks Deciding Where Humans Step In Human Touch Automations let operators choose where staff enter the customer journey One example is a personal call two hours before a scheduled tour The test is whether the customer wants that touchpoint, not whether the team is used to it Automating administrative work finally gives teams room to deliver the service they advertise The Voice AI Misconception Owners calling their own properties judge voice AI against old press-one phone trees Consumers using AI daily are increasingly comfortable talking to it on the phone Voice AI routes callers to the right person instead of forcing them through a menu Regional dialects lifted both engagement and tour bookings in beta testing What Voice AI Replaces After-hours answering services and overflow call centers become optional Call scoring rates every leasing agent call against a rubric, replacing quarterly mystery shops Self-learning feeds those conversations back into the AI to improve automation rates    

You might find Meredith Cavan playing music in an Irish pub. But long before her first album dropped, she clocked more than 20 years at the CIA. One of her jobs there was Southeast Asia Department chief, where she oversaw covert action, intelligence operations, and analysis across 30 countries. We're talking about the years 2021 to 2023, when terrorism was taking a back seat to strategic competition, and her priority was trying to thwart China's influence and infrastructure in its most consequential playground.

It's a Fun Day Monday on The Majority Report On today's program: Donald Trump threatens to bomb the s*** out of Oman if they get in the way of a deal in a phone call with Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst. JD Vance says on the Fox News that the number one goal for the Iran war is to keep gas and oil prices lower for Americans. Trump must have been listening to the Vice President as he responded with a post on Truth Social that says the number one goal is to make sure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon.   Daniel Bessner, co-host of the American Prestige Podcast and publisher of the Imperialist Realism newsletter or Substack, joins the program for a conversation about his new book: "Imperialist Realism: Politics and Culture at the End of the American Century". Elijah Manley, candidate challenging Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz in the Democratic primary for Florida's 20-Congressional District, joins the program for a conversation about his campaign. In the Fun Half: Fox News' Joey Jones calls the sailors on the USS Lincoln that are complaining about being on the longest deployment in modern history sell outs. Trump says that he will never apologize for raising the cost of gas prices because it was worth it for Iran to never get a nuclear weapon. That message should play well during the midterms. Trump's polling with Hispanic men has drop 51 points since 2024. RFK, Jr. debases himself while trying to defend Trump's claim that he saw a baby getting a vaccination the size of soda bottle. Tim Pool tries to play the moderate on Jubilee's Surrounded. all that and more.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, the pseudo-conservative, Woke Reich isolationist, and national-conservative voices are undermining the president, abandoning traditional Reaganite principles, and pushing for greater government intervention.  We have an alarming near-$50 trillion on-budget debt (with true obligations including Social Security, Medicare, and pensions closer to $300–350 trillion against an economy producing only about $20 trillion annually). Such demands for more government play into Democrats' hands, and principles are needed most when confronting economic and security threats. The proper path is growth and wealth creation through freer markets, competition, and smarter regulation rather than new programs; critics should present concrete plans if they have any. Election success ultimately depends on doing what is necessary, such as the president's decisive action to prevent the Iranian regime from obtaining nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles which deserves immediate credit. Later, the Vice President has argued that free-market advocates should stop invoking the market system and instead develop a plan to help younger people avoid socialism. Traditional Reaganite and Friedman-style conservatives who back the President's tax and regulatory policies are questioning these remarks. With nearly a $50 trillion on-budget debt the real problem is too much government, not more of it, and that debate belongs in the primaries.  Finally, Michele Tafoya, Minnesota Senate candidate, calls in and argues that Minnesota has been racing in the wrong direction under single-party Democrat rule, with Peggy Flanagan serving as lieutenant governor under Tim Walz for two terms during which the state became a national embarrassment. Drawing on her experience as an early WNBA play-by-play announcer who watched the league grow through women's pure skill and athleticism, she criticized the idea that biological men should compete in women's sports, noting that exclusion is fundamental to athletics and that giving roster spots to biological males simply excludes actual women in an absurd, Alice-in-Wonderland distortion.
