Who really controls the future of AI? A rare warning from the Five Eyes intelligence alliance says powerful AI models capable of devastating cyberattacks on governments and businesses could be just months away. At the same time, the Trump administration's decision to block foreign access to Anthropic's most advanced AI models has intensified fears that Europe and the UK are dangerously dependent on Silicon Valley.Danny Fortson and Katie Prescott ask what an AI “kill switch” could mean for Europe – and whether the race for AI sovereignty is now impossible to ignore.And as the race towards Artificial General Intelligence intensifies, so too has the talent war between AI labs, after two leading Google DeepMind researchers – Noam Shazeer and John Jumper – left for OpenAI and Anthropic.Plus, Judith Dada, AI adviser to the German government and Senior Partner at Visionaries, joins them to discuss Europe's AI future, tech sovereignty, and what losing the AI race could mean.Producer: Marnie DukeExecutive Producer: Priyanka DeladiaImage: Getty Hosted on Acast.

Furniture were one of the most distinctive British bands of the 1980s, combining literate songwriting, sophisticated arrangements and an unmistakable sense of style. Despite critical acclaim and a loyal following, mainstream success largely eluded them. In this episode of Low Noise, we explore the story of a band that seemed destined for greater recognition, examining their music, their influences and the reasons why Furniture remain one of Britain's most fascinating forgotten groups.In this episode I am in discussion with Dr. Andrew Webber.https://www.facebook.com/share/1F15mx4ea3/https://buymeacoffee.com/lownoiseWhy buy me a coffee?Low Noise is proudly ad-free.

In this episode of Sales & Cigars, Walter Crosby sits down with Matt Haney, fractional COO and integrator, to talk about accountability, visionary entrepreneurs, and what really keeps businesses from scaling. Matt works with founders who have built strong companies but have reached the point where they need help turning vision into execution. The conversation digs into the tension between visionaries and operators, why accountability often breaks down, and how leaders can create clearer expectations without slipping into micromanagement. Matt also explains why many business problems are really people problems—and why having a trusted right hand can help founders get out of seats they should no longer be sitting in. If you are a visionary leader trying to scale, this episode is worth your time. Episode Highlights Why founders often struggle to move from doing to leading How accountability breaks down when expectations are unclear Why working sessions can become necessary when execution stalls The danger of visionaries staying one or two levels too deep in the business How sales leaders can work better with founder-led organizations Why trust between a visionary and sales leader is critical The role of a fractional COO as operator, advisor, and accountability partner Why third-party perspective can help resolve leadership tension How to identify when your business needs a trusted right hand Key Themes & Takeaways Accountability starts with clear expectations. People cannot execute against vague direction. Leaders must define what success looks like. Visionaries often need help getting out of the way. Founders built the business by doing everything, but scaling requires them to release control in the right places. Execution problems are often people problems. Missed targets, stalled growth, and lack of follow-through usually connect back to communication, clarity, or accountability. Trust must be intentionally built. When founders bring in sales leaders or operators, information flow and role clarity are essential. A strong right hand creates leverage. The right operator helps translate vision into action, hold people accountable, and reduce chaos inside the business. Outside perspective can reduce friction. Sometimes a neutral third party helps leaders hear each other more clearly and move through tension faster. Who Should Listen This episode is especially valuable for: Visionary entrepreneurs who feel stuck in the weeds Founders looking for a trusted right hand or integrator Sales leaders working inside founder-led businesses CEOs struggling with accountability across the team Service-based businesses trying to scale operations Leaders who know the company needs structure but are unsure where to start Links & Resources Sinclair Ventures https://sinclairventures.com Matt Haney matt@sinclairventures.com Matt Haney on LinkedIn Continue the Conversation If this episode made you think differently about accountability, leadership, or how to build a business that can scale without everything running through you, join the Sales Integrator Community.

Better Business Better Life! Helping you live your Ideal Entrepreneurial Life through EOS & Experts
In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor & Adam Harris explore why Visionaries can become bottlenecks, and what leaders can do to break free from the behaviours that hold their businesses back. Drawing on their experience as EOS® Implementers, Debra & Adam unpack the powerful relationship between Visionary & Integrator leadership styles, including why clarity, trust, self-awareness & healthy conflict are essential for long-term business growth. They discuss one of the most common challenges entrepreneurs face: letting go. Many Visionaries know they need to step back from day-to-day operations, but fear, control, past experiences or a love of chaos can keep them involved in areas where they no longer add the most value. The conversation explores why Visionaries need a strong sounding board, how the “golden penny” problem pulls leaders away from priorities, and why a clear vision is very different from simply having lots of ideas. Listeners will also gain practical insights into strengthening Visionary & Integrator partnerships, improving leadership alignment, and creating a business that can grow without being dependent on one person.

National Indigenous Peoples Month in Canada pays tribute to Kateri Tekakwitha (1656-80). At age 19, after converting to Catholicism and taking a vow of perpetual virginity, Kateri left her Mohawk village of Ossernenon in present-day New York State and moved to the Jesuit mission village of Kahnawake, just south of Montreal, Canada. There she died five years later, respected for her piety and good works. She was beatified in 1980 by Pope John Paul II, and canonized as a Saint by Pope Benedict XVI at St. Peter's Basilica in 2012.

Mary, Queen of Apostles is a title of the Blessed Virgin Mary that honors her essential, maternal role alongside the apostles, providing quiet guidance and prayer in the Upper Room as they waited for the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The title's scriptural Roots draws primarily from the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 1:13-14), which describes Mary praying with the apostles as the Church was being formed. She is revered by certain religious orders for her evangelizing spirit and her example of how to present Jesus to the world. The liturgical feast of Mary, Queen of Apostles is celebrated on the Saturday immediately following the Solemnity of the Ascension.

Kelly goes across the pond to speak to educator Daisy Christodoulou, whose provocative books on education take aim at a lack of teacher autonomy, fact-based curricula, and the misuse of technology in the classroom. “You cannot unscramble knowledge and skills.” “Modern technology can’t do the memorizing for us.” “Good readers are those who tend to […]

→ Watch on YouTube → Detailed Show Notes → Timestamps: (00:00) There is evidence that the Five Books of Moses and specifically the Book of Deuteronomy were edited both before and during the Babylonian captivity, around 600 B.C.(03:14) Many scholars see Deuteronomy as the “Book of the Law” that was discovered during Josiah's reign from 640-609 B.C.(06:15) Examples of additions and redactions which demonstrate the history of the text.(12:54) The Book of Mormon and the New Testament bring balance to the religious reforms during Josiah's reign.(15:35) The Deuteronomistic History is a term used in modern biblical studies to describe the books of Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, 1-2 Samuel and 1-2 Kings. The Deuteronomistic History portrays a cohesive view of Israel.(18:46) Lehi and Nephi were at odds with the Jews at the time they left Jerusalem in 600 B.C. Examples from the Book of Mormon show how prophets disagreed with some of Deuteronomy's ideas.(23:26) Deuteronomy centralizes worship and prohibits any altars outside of the temple. Visionaries were denigrated, yet Nephi knew the mysteries.(25:42) Deuteronomy focuses on the Abrahamic Covenant and stresses that Israel is to remember the Lord.(32:39) Deuteronomy has covenant renewal ceremonies and is constructed in the pattern of an ancient Near Eastern vassal treaty. This pattern is also used in King Benjamin's speech in Mosiah 1-6.(38:22) The scattering and gathering is prophesied in both Deuteronomy and the Book of Mormon. God wants to bring Israel back home.(46:12) Deuteronomy 31.6 shows a direct connection to the Book of Joshua. Blessings for keeping the commandments can be seen as a generational promise, not necessarily a 1:1 relationship. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not a “cosmic vending machine.”(48:53) Both Deuteronomy and the Book of Mormon are writing with the future in mind, knowing that their discovery will bring religious reform.(51:14) Both books warn of the pride and destruction that can come with prosperity.(55:28) Moses “dies,” and the text of Deuteronomy says his sepulcher is not known. The Book of Mormon teaches that Moses was translated. Josephus' history says he disappeared in a cloud. The New Testament shows Moses appears at the Mount of Transfiguration.(1:02:01) As a resurrected being, in April 1836, Moses came to Joseph Smith to give him the keys of the gathering of Israel. In this way, we are all connected to Moses and his mission. As modern day Israel, we carry the torch of Gospel light and are commanded to spread the Gospel. → For more of Bryce Dunford’s podcast classes, click here. → Enroll in Institute → YouTube → Apple Podcasts → Spotify → Amazon Music → Facebook The post Ep 371 | Deuteronomy, Come Follow Me 2026 (May 11-17) appeared first on LDS Scripture Teachings.

Acclaimed journalist Benoit Denizet-Lewis joins Kelly to talk about his new book “You’ve Changed: The Promise and Price of Self-Transformation.” “Any identity is a kind of performance.” “Humans are broken meaning-making machines.” “There's no freedom without the perception of change.”
Kateri Tekakwitha (1656-80) was born in the Mohawk village of Ossernenon, in present-day New York State. Influenced by French Jesuit missionaries and converted to Catholicism at age 19, and after taking a vow of perpetual virginity, she left her village, and moved to the Jesuit mission village of Kahnawake, just south of Montreal, Canada. There she died five years later, respected for her piety and good works. She was beatified in 1980 by Pope John Paul II, and canonized as a Saint by Pope Benedict XVI at St. Peter's Basilica in 2012.

In today's episode, I get really honest and cut to the chase, sharing who's right for this path and who it might not be the best fit for.Here are some attributes that I look for in my clients, and in people who are best suited for this path:They resonate with the path of relationships that I outline, and are excited at the possibility of walking it. They typically feel very aligned with it, like it's part of their destiny.At the same time, they don't romanticize it, and know that it's going to bring stuff up.(One of the biggest myths about conscious relationships is that somehow they're all rainbows and butterflies.)We don't spiritually bypass on this path, in fact it's meant to be relational shadow work.My people are ready and willing to see their blind spots. This can be uncomfortable, but is true freedom.I often say that I'm not in service to people at the level of ego, but in service to people at a soul level. I have compassion for the ego, but will not prop it up.My people have a growth mindset, a fundamental understanding that life is here as a school for us, and we're here to learn some things.This requires humility, knowing that, “Hey, i don't know everything, but i'm willing to learn.”And, this realization does not trigger shame inside of them. They get it, knowing it's the human experience.They know that seeing and accepting their weak areas is actually empowerment, because as they lean in, they can get stronger and more whole. Life becomes more balanced and better all around.This ties into personal responsibility. Are you willing to take responsibility for your subconscious, the thing that's actually creating your reality?My people also know that healing is not linear. Sometimes we need to revisit things from multiple angles, especially our core wounds. (This relates to Jung's concept of circumambulation.)They are open to a truly holistic view of healing: psychological, spiritual, energetic, somatic.My people are committed and aren't going to run away when things get hard.They are able to communicate openly if something doesn't feel good, and practice open communication.They're willing to be empowered and take what I give them and run with it, putting it into practice, rather than giving all their power away, and expecting me to do the work for them.Lastly, my people truly see this work as an investment in themselves and everyone around them.It's an investment in time, money, and energy, and yet ultimately it is an investment in your soul.I match all of these things, and it's really interesting for me to read back this list, because most of it is just my standards in relationships.Lots of love to you all, and if you want to join The Visionaries, doors stay open until Monday, May 4, 2026 at 9:00 pm Pacific time.Link to enroll:https://www.love-evolved.us/the-visionaries—About me:My name is Leigh-Anne LoPinto, and I'm a psychologist and breathwork teacher focusing on relationships. I help people who are done with repeating the same patterns over and over again, and want love and connection built on a healthy, stable foundation.My clients tend to struggle with insecure attachment, codependency, and a more passive style of communication. They tend to settle for subpar relationships, put others on pedestals, and have difficulty with boundaries. We work on healing all of this in order to step into incredible, healthy and happy relationships - this work is truly life-changing.Website:https://www.love-evolved.us/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@love.evolvedInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/love.evolv.ed/ This is a public episode.

This week, while Maria is on vacation, Dave Bittner and Joe Carrigan are joined by Michele Kellerman as they discuss the latest in social engineering scams, phishing schemes, and criminal exploits that are making headlines. We start with some follow up: a quick shoutout to Blood Cancer United and then we get into a listener “Chicken Chat” from Sue about handling an aggressive rooster. Joe's got the story of how former Luther Davis allegedly teamed up with a partner to impersonate NFL players using fake companies, documents, and disguises to secure nearly $20 million in fraudulent loans—charges they are now expected to plead guilty to. Michele's story is on how scammers are targeting families of recently arrested individuals by posing as officials who promise quick releases in exchange for hard-to-trace payments, prompting warnings from law enforcement—including changes like taking jail rosters offline—to cut off these schemes. Joe's got the story on how Amazon is leaning heavily on AI, continuous monitoring, and global enforcement partnerships to proactively block fraud, counterfeit goods, and scams—often before customers or brands ever spot them. For our Catch of the Day, we have a string of texts from Reddit where a user could have possibly been talking to Sir Paul McCartney, possibly.

SUMMARY: Aaron and Terryn make the case for the one thing that cuts through business chaos faster than anything else: a real operating system. They dig into EOS, the Entrepreneurial Operating System from the book Traction, and break down why visionaries who run on gut instinct and new ideas desperately need a consistent weekly meeting structure that holds everyone accountable to real numbers and real outcomes. From quarterly rocks to the visionary-integrator relationship, they walk through how a one-hour weekly meeting done the right way can replace the noise, the story time, and the constant fire drills that burn out teams and stall growth.

SummaryIn the latest episode of Visionary Leader with Jim Robinson, Sean Patton, a Green Beret, entrepreneur, and leadership expert, joins Jim for a deep dive into what it means to lead with a warrior's mindset in today's world.The conversation kicks off with Sean defining a warrior as someone who fights for a noble cause greater than themselves, drawing a parallel between warriors and effective leaders. According to Sean, true leaders are driven by purpose, not selfish gratification, and the journey to achieving great things is where fulfillment lies, not simply in the result. His analogy—buying a black belt versus earning it through dedication—drives home the importance of embracing the process over shortcuts.Additionally, the episode delves into practical leadership challenges: distinguishing between intensity and clarity, managing team priorities, and the critical role of personal ownership. Sean explains that clarity comes from alignment and intentional agreements, while intensity, when overused, can dull its impact. Leaders must model personal responsibility, acknowledge missteps, and create a culture where team members do the same. This approach transforms organizational culture and builds real trust.The show wraps with actionable advice: celebrate team wins, invest trust and respect before expecting it in return, and always challenge individuals with attainable commitments that build confidence over time.

In this episode of Capital for Good, we speak with John Fabian Witt, the Allen H. Duffy Class of 1960 Professor of Law at Yale Law School, a professor of history at Yale, and one of the country's most distinguished legal historians. The author of numerous award-winning books, including American Contagions: Epidemics and the Law from Smallpox to COVID-19 and Lincoln's Code: The Laws of War in American History, Witt joins us to discuss his latest, The Radical Fund: How a Band of Visionaries and a Million Dollars Upended America (Simon & Schuster, 2025). We begin with the genesis — of the Garland Fund and Witt's interest in writing about it. He explains that most histories of the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case include mention of a "funny little foundation" that gave early support to the NAACP, launching the legal campaign that would culminate in the desegregation landmark. Witt discovered, however, that Brown was "just the tip of the iceberg." The Garland Fund — named for the young idealist Charles Garland, who at twenty-one refused a million-dollar inheritance — in fact had its fingerprints on a sweeping range of progressive movements in the United States that would shape American democracy. And Witt notes, the conditions of 1920s America that shaped the fund's creation — deep economic inequality, declining labor unions, surging ethno-nationalism, immigration backlash, threats to free speech — look "astonishingly like 2020s America." The fund would come to be known officially as the American Fund for Public Service. We discuss the fund's three principal focus areas — labor, civil liberties, and civil rights — and the extraordinary cast assembled by inaugural director Roger Baldwin, founder of the ACLU, to govern it, including labor leader (and New Deal "industrial democracy" architect) Sidney Hillman; James Weldon Johnson of the NAACP; and editors from The Nation and The New Republic. We explore some of the initial tensions between the fund's labor and racial justice priorities, and the eventual fusion of the two via efforts like A. Philip Randolph's creation of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the all-Black union within the Pullman Car Company. Witt suggests that this marriage of civil rights and labor organizing — "working class solidarity across racial lines" — was a central contribution of the fund and its grantees. We also touch on the fund's intentionally unconventional approach to philanthropy. Conceived as a kind of "anti-Rockefeller Foundation," the Garland Fund had virtually no staff and was deeply conscious of the "paradox" of "using a Wall Street fortune to attack capitalism and inequality." Many of the fund's progressive investments failed, and others would take years to come to fruition, paying dividends in the newly "plastic" political landscape of the Great Depression. We conclude with lessons for today from the Garland Fund's experience. Witt asks, if the industrial union was the unit "well suited to manage mass production capitalism" and therefore "responsible for a good deal of equalization of the American economy" for much of the 20th century — what is the 21st century equivalent. "What's going to connect people together and to their economic futures such that some kind of decent political coalition of people who feel the security sufficient to be good citizens can come out of it?"
