Kieran Devlin sits down with Bill Dellara, Chief Product Officer at VOSS, to unpack one of the biggest shifts happening in enterprise communications: the convergence of unified communications (UC) and contact center (CC). As organizations chase better experiences, lower costs, and smarter operations, we reveal how aligning UC and CC can unlock powerful outcomes for both customers and employees.With decades of experience at the heart of UC transformation, Bill Dellara shares practical insights into why the UC+CC revolution is no longer optional—and how VOSS is uniquely positioned to lead the charge. From overcoming the fear of change to deploying AI-powered experiences, this session is rich in strategy and real-world takeaways.

Wer definiert, was als Natur gilt? Biologen, Theologen, Ideologen? Wer legt fest, was Natürlichkeit ist? Pädagogen, Psychologen, Demagogen? Woher kommt die typisch deutsche Natur-Romantik, jene Verklärung und Vereinnahmung der Natur? Und wie wurde gerade der Naturbegriff immer wieder politisch instrumentalisiert – bis hin zu den Rassegesetzen des NS-Staats? Das Deutsche Historische Museum beschäftigt sich in seiner aktuellen Ausstellung mit 800 Jahren „Natur und deutsche Geschichte: Glaube, Biologie, Macht“. Julia Voss, lange als Kunstkritikerin der FAZ tätig, hat die Schau kuratiert.

Get ready for a powerful and refreshingly honest conversation with legendary salon owner, educator, and curly-hair specialist Casey Voss—a 25-year industry vet whose story reads like a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and leadership. In this episode, Casey opens up about rebuilding after a devastating salon fire, navigating major business transitions, letting go of ego, and learning to trust bold decisions even when they cost her people, comfort, or certainty. You'll hear how vision-casting, year-end audits, boundary-setting, and courageous conversations became the foundation of her growth—and how they can transform your salon too. Kati and Casey dive into the realities of leading teams, the challenges of turnover, and the freedom that comes when you finally stop operating out of fear and start building intentionally. If you're hungry for clarity, courage, and a renewed sense of purpose in your salon leadership, this conversation will light you up. WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/GvFg9Ir4qNo   GET MY BOOK!

He wasn't asleep. He wasn't dreaming. A swirling black void simply opened in his living room, revealing shadow figures moving through ancient stone corridors on the other side. Rye sat there watching—peering into the abyss like a security camera fixed on another realm.For him, that portal was the culmination of a lifetime of supernatural encounters that started before his first breath, when a priest read him his last rites. Generational witchcraft on one side, miraculous healings on the other—Rye grew up caught between two spiritual inheritances. Shadow people with glowing red eyes, objects moving on their own, automatic writing, paranormal investigation, and eventually a return to faith. His story is a vivid reminder that we were made to live in the overlap—and that the veil is thinner than most of us realize. He shares a testimony that's part warning, part Christ-centered hope, and fully blurry. This is a members-only exclusive Blurry Creatures episode.

This episode kicks off deep in the heart of Kenai, Alaska, where Jon, Tim, and Andrew took their first swing at the Last Frontier—chasing silver salmon and trout with Dallas and Dustin Voss from Explore Kenai. These guys weren't just top-tier fishing guides—they were storytellers, teachers, and the kind of folks who make you feel like you've known them forever. From long drifts on the river to a halibut charter out of Homer they helped line up, Dallas and Dustin made sure the trip hit every high note. Back on dry land, the crew bunked up at Kenai Adventure Cabins—cozy, clean, and tucked into the trees just right. We sat down with the folks behind the cabins to hear how they got started and why sharing their slice of Alaska means so much.

Private markets are swelling, public markets are shrinking, and the line between the two has never been blurrier. In this episode, CJ sits down with Scott Voss, Managing Partner at HarbourVest, to make sense of what's happening across venture, private equity, credit, and secondaries. Scott explains why companies like SpaceX and OpenAI are now valued alongside public giants, how the surge in take-privates is reshaping corporate strategy, and what happens when the quarterly earnings pressure disappears. They dive into the rise of GP-led deals, the evolving role of private credit as the “third voice in the room,” and why liquidity—not scarcity—will define this cycle. Scott also breaks down the growing appeal of evergreen and permanent capital structures, plus what AI mega-deals signal about the next phase of private investing.—LINKS:Scott Voss on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-voss-b91b94/HarbourVest Partners: https://www.harbourvest.comCJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: https://www.mostlymetrics.comRELATED EPISODES:Secondaries, Continuation Vehicles, and Sidecar Funds: Private Equity with HarbourVest's Scott Voss -—TIMESTAMPS:(00:00:00) Preview and Intro(00:02:49) Sponsor – Mercury | RightRev | Tipalti(00:06:43) Opening Conversation(00:07:23) The Blurring Line Between Public and Private(00:09:36) The Rise of Mega Venture(00:11:20) The First $10 Trillion Company(00:12:28) The Shrinking Public Markets(00:13:09) Take-Private Playbook(00:14:04) Why Companies Go Private(00:16:00) Sponsor – Aleph | Rillet | Fidelity Private Shares(00:19:21) Efficiency and Exits(00:23:15) Liquidity in Private Markets(00:24:01) Secondaries and GP-Led Deals(00:27:14) Yale and the Secondary Market(00:29:09) Innovation and the Rise of GP-to-GP Trades(00:30:16) Liquidity Cycles and Interest Rates(00:33:18) The Third Voice in the Room – Private Credit(00:34:44) Private Credit and GP-Led Deals(00:36:02) Interest Rates and Deal Spreads(00:37:15) The Major Players in Private Credit(00:38:09) Regulation and Risk(00:39:25) Private Credit vs. Traditional Lending(00:40:33) Evergreen and Permanent Capital(00:45:57) Expanding Access to Private Markets(00:47:03) Understanding the Cap Table(00:47:44) AI Deals and Consolidation(00:50:00) The Evolution of AI and Blockchain(00:53:20) Funding Innovation and Risk(00:55:28) Lessons From Investing(00:55:39) Nostalgia and Life Phases(00:57:06) Nostalgia and the 1990s(00:59:21) Learn, Earn, and Return(01:00:45) Talking Nostalgia at Dinners(01:01:27) Summer Surfing(01:02:25) Wrap-Up and Closing—SPONSORS:Fidelity Private Shares is the all-in-one equity management platform that keeps your cap table clean, your data room organized, and your equity story clear—so you never risk losing a fundraising round over messy records.

In The Sideways Life of Denny Voss, Holly Kennedy brings humor & heart to a neurodivergent hero, sharing how Lake Union Publishing shaped her journey.What happens when good intentions collide with messy realities? In The Sideways Life of Denny Voss, Holly Kennedy introduces us to Denny, an unforgettable, neurodivergent character whose big heart and distinct voice make him a narrator you'll want to follow anywhere… even into a goose-napping, an accidental bank robbery, and now a murder trial.In this conversation, Holly and I talk about the long road it took to trust her voice enough to bring Denny's story into the world, the challenges of writing authentically from a neurodivergent perspective, and the unique publishing journey she's experienced with Lake Union.And yes, we dig into how timely themes like gun violence filter through Denny's television obsessions and what it means to write a novel that feels both tender and topical today.In our warm conversation, Holly and I discussed:

Be ready, stay grounded, and communicate clearly — no matter what's at stake.Communicating under pressure isn't just a useful skill — it can be the difference between escalation and resolution. For Chris Voss, former FBI hostage negotiator and CEO of The Black Swan Group, it's a daily discipline built on empathy, self-regulation, and intentional listening. In this expanded conversation from our Spontaneous Speaking miniseries, Voss offers a rare window into the mindset and methods that helped him show up calm, focused, and adaptable when the pressure is sky-high.“Emotional intelligence is an insane accelerator to outcomes,” Voss shares, explaining how empathy, tone, and timing can shift the direction of any conversation. He breaks down techniques like labeling and mirroring, explores how to use silence and word choice strategically, and explains why overthinking can be just as risky as acting too fast. From gut-level pattern recognition to tactical use of voice, Voss shows how communication becomes more impactful when we're not trying to control — but to connect.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Voss and host Matt Abrahams dive into how negotiation techniques developed for life-or-death situations can be applied far beyond them — offering powerful takeaways for anyone who needs to think clearly under pressure, stay agile in the moment, and communicate effectively when it matters most.Episode Reference Links:Chris Voss Chris's Book: Never Split the Difference Ep.197 Prep or Perish: Mastering In-the-Moment Communication (1 of 3)Ep.198 Pause and Effect: Mastering In-the-Moment Communication (2 of 3)Ep.199 Blunder Pressure: Mastering In-the-Moment Communication (3 of 3)Ep.203 No Script, No Problem: Final Secrets to Speaking Under Pressure (Bonus)   Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:50) - Path to Hostage Negotiation (03:42) - Power of Emotional Intelligence (05:00) - Staying Calm Under Pressure (06:10) - Mental Prep & Mindset (07:18) - Trusting Your Gut (07:58) - Avoiding Overthinking (09:01) - Flexibility in Negotiations (10:15) - Listen More, Talk Less (10:31) - Labeling & Mirroring (12:51) - Tone Shapes Impact (14:06) - The Final Three Questions (19:37) - Conclusion  *****Thank you to our sponsors:Strawberry.me.

Nessa teaches philosophy at Lone Star Community College and writes on the philosophy of humor. We thought we should get this topic out before we wrap our season (and Bill's regular participation) and reach 100 episodes. We go through the main theories (superiority, incongruity/surprise, unconscious triggering, i.e. funny because it's true on some level we don't necessarily want to admit). Then Nessa (fictionally) becomes our podcast format consultant. We wrap up by considering the appeal of various stand-up comedians. Hear more at philosophyimprov.com.
