In this explosive new conversation, Michael Jaco and Juan O Savin pull back the curtain on what's about to unfold in America's ongoing fight for truth and justice. Juan shares exclusive intel on the next wave of arrests — not just the operatives we've already seen, but the higher-ups who've orchestrated corruption behind the scenes for decades. Together, he and Michael analyze the shifting global landscape, the spiritual battle beneath the surface, and what patriots can expect in the coming months of disclosure and accountability. From secret indictments and military tribunals to the unraveling of elite power structures, this episode offers a rare glimpse into what's really happening beyond the headlines — and why faith, preparation, and unity are more vital than ever.

In this jaw-dropping episode, Michael Jaco and Leo Zagami unravel the latest spectacle from Rome — where Pope Leo publicly attacked President Trump and his administration, only to follow it with a bizarre “blessing ceremony” over a block of ice alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger. Leo exposes the deep symbolism and hidden messages behind this event, connecting it to the Vatican's long-standing manipulation of politics, religion, and global power structures. Michael adds his intuitive perspective on how these spiritual and political battles intertwine with the worldwide awakening that's now accelerating. From the Jesuit influence and the rise of globalist agendas to the spiritual war for humanity's consciousness, this conversation delivers shocking revelations and grounded wisdom for anyone ready to see beyond the illusion.

Peace Through Business: How Women in Rwanda and Afghanistan Are Rebuilding Nations Through Entrepreneurship In this special episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I continue our series spotlighting Peace Through Business, a remarkable program empowering women entrepreneurs in Afghanistan, Rwanda, and beyond. The stories are profound, the impact undeniable, and the lessons universal: when women rise, entire nations begin to heal and prosper. As a corporate anthropologist and Blue Ocean Strategist, I want to remind us at the start: “When you invest in a woman entrepreneur, you invest in her family, her community, and her country's future.” This conversation brings together Monica Smiley, publisher of Enterprising Women Magazine; Chantal Munanayire, Peace Through Business Program Director for Rwanda, Uganda, Canada, and the UK; and Manisha Wafeq, who leads the Afghanistan initiative. Each share not only how the program works but how it transforms lives — economically, socially, and spiritually. Creating Peace Through Business When Enterprising Women Foundation assumed stewardship of Peace Through Business in 2024, it became the natural extension of its mission to empower women globally. Monica Smiley explains that Enterprising Women began 25 years ago as a publication to celebrate women entrepreneurs but soon evolved into a global movement. “About 12 years ago,” she recalls, “we launched the Enterprising Women Foundation to mentor girls in underserved communities across 30 U.S. cities. Then, by inheriting the Peace Through Business program, we broadened our mission — from helping American women entrepreneurs to supporting women rebuilding countries after conflict.” Originally founded by Dr. Terry Neese at the request of former First Lady Laura Bush, the Peace Through Business program provides an intensive education in entrepreneurship, leadership, and civic responsibility. It began in Afghanistan, where women were often excluded from public life, and expanded into Rwanda, a country rebuilding its social and economic fabric after the 1994 genocide. Monica remembers traveling to Rwanda in 2014 and again in 2018. “The transformation in just four years was stunning,” she says. “There were new hotels, a thriving convention center, and a new sense of hope. Women who once dreamed of a single business now run two or three. They are not waiting to be rescued — they are building the future themselves.” Chantal's Journey: From Survivor to Mentor Few embody that spirit more than Chantal Munanayire. A survivor of Rwanda's genocide, Chantal rebuilt her life — and her country — one business at a time. In 2009, she broke barriers by opening the first woman-owned car repair and paint shop in Kigali, the capital city. “When I began, I didn't even know what a business plan was,” she says with a laugh. “I was passionate but directionless. Through Peace Through Business, I learned to plan, to lead, and to see my company as separate from myself. That gave me freedom — and power.” Today, Chantal runs the program across several countries and has mentored hundreds of women. “The women who come to us are determined but often afraid,” she explains. “We teach them to turn that fear into focus. Once they succeed, they return to mentor others. That's how we build a sisterhood.” She shares stories of women who began as small vendors and now own supermarkets, or dairy farmers who built shopping centers. “When one woman thrives, she brings ten others along,” Chantal says. “That's how you build a country.” Education, Mentorship, and Advocacy Peace Through Business unfolds in three powerful stages: Education– Ten weeks of in-country classes covering marketing, finance, leadership, and business planning. Leadership Development– A cultural and professional exchange in the U.S., where top graduates attend the Enterprising Women Conference to meet mentors and global leaders. Pay It Forward– Graduates return home to mentor others, advocate for policy reform, and expand the reach of women in leadership. As Manisha Wafeq explains, “This is not a one-week seminar. It's a life-changing journey. Our women become educators, activists, and community builders. They learn that business is not only about profit — it's about peace. And after they graduate, they pay their knowledge forward to other women and join our alumni association.” A Call to Action: Supporting Women Who Change the World The episode closes with a powerful reflection from Monica and Andi: sustainable change requires participation. The program's impact depends on mentorship, funding, and global awareness. “This is a Blue Ocean in action,” says Andi Simon. “These women are not competing in crowded markets. They're creating new ones — new industries, new opportunities, new futures.” Monica adds, “We've given the Enterprising Women of the Year award to one Afghan and one Rwandan woman annually for nearly two decades. Seeing them stand on stage in front of hundreds of cheering peers brings me to tears every time. But we need more hands and hearts to keep the program thriving.” Every contribution — financial or personal — helps sustain the work. Donations go directly to scholarships, training, and travel for participants. Mentors provide guidance and connection, bridging continents through compassion and shared purpose.

Why These Stories Matter For Andi Simon, this episode isn't just another interview — it's a reflection of what anthropology teaches us about change: that transformation begins when people reimagine what's possible. “Change happens,” Andi concludes, “when we stop waiting for permission and start creating possibilities. These women are doing exactly that. They're rewriting the story of what it means to lead, to heal, and to build peace through business.” Listen in to our YouTube Video:

Enterprises are significantly increasing their investments in AI governance as the risks associated with artificial intelligence become more apparent. A recent report indicates that 98% of organizations plan to boost their governance budgets in the coming financial year, with an average expected increase of 24%. This shift highlights the realization that managing AI is not a plug-and-play solution; organizations must establish multiple lines of defense to handle risks effectively. As AI technologies evolve, refining governance will be an ongoing process, especially as companies face incidents that could lead to substantial financial losses.Public cloud spending is projected to increase dramatically, primarily driven by generative AI workloads. A survey reveals that nearly half of IT leaders expect more than 30% of their cloud budgets to be allocated to generative AI in the coming years. This rapid adoption of generative AI applications necessitates improved cloud cost management strategies, as enterprises brace for higher infrastructure costs. Analysts warn that the financial models supporting this AI boom, particularly for companies like Oracle, which may need to borrow significantly to meet obligations, raise concerns about sustainability.Despite fears of job losses due to AI, a study from Yale University indicates that generative AI has not yet significantly disrupted the job market. The research shows only a slight change in the occupational mix since the launch of ChatGPT, with hiring in the tech sector remaining steady. A significant portion of tech employers plan to hire, particularly for roles related to AI, indicating that the demand for skills like Python and project management is driving this trend. The study suggests that while generative AI has transformative potential, it is too early to assess its long-term effects on employment.In a notable industry development, Huntress has partnered with SureWeb to expand its cybersecurity solutions, marking its first distribution deal. This collaboration allows Huntress's products to be available in the SureWeb marketplace, enhancing security offerings for managed service providers across various regions.

Perplexity has made a significant move by dropping the price of its AI browser, Comet, from $200 a month to free, igniting what could be an AI browser war. This decision aims to help users navigate the overwhelming amount of low-quality online content by providing tools to summarize web pages and extract key information. A $5 monthly subscription will offer access to content from reputable media outlets, as Perplexity seeks to establish fair revenue-sharing practices with publishers. This shift comes amid ongoing legal challenges regarding content use, but the company emphasizes its commitment to high-quality sources.The recent U.S. government shutdown has led to the expiration of the Cybersecurity and Information Sharing Act of 2015, raising concerns about the future of cybersecurity collaboration. This law provided essential protections for organizations sharing cyber threat intelligence, and its absence is expected to hinder effective incident response. Experts warn that organizations may become more cautious about sharing vital information without the legal protections previously afforded, potentially increasing the risk of cyber attacks as adversaries exploit the disruption.In the tech industry, rumors are circulating about a potential investment deal between Apple and Intel, which raises questions about the future of the chip manufacturer. Apple, having previously transitioned away from Intel chips for its MacBooks, is now considering a collaboration that could see Intel manufacturing chips for Apple's data centers or producing Apple-designed chips. Meanwhile, Apple appears to be stepping back from its Vision Pro headset, which has not gained significant traction in the market, and is instead focusing on developing more affordable smart glasses.Managed service providers (MSPs) are at a critical junction as AI transitions from a luxury to a necessity. A significant portion of organizations lack policies to manage AI adoption effectively, creating both risks and opportunities for service providers. As clients demand faster resolutions and strategic insights, MSPs must modernize their services and establish governance to ensure AI delivers measurable value. The podcast emphasizes the importance of embedding AI capabilities into services rather than selling it as a standalone product, urging providers to focus on delivering outcomes that clients cannot achieve elsewhere.Four things to know today00:00 Perplexity Makes AI Browser Comet Free, Challenging Chrome, Safari, and Edge03:41 U.S. Shutdown Weakens Cyber Defense as Info-Sharing Law Expires, While NIST Races to Build Cyber AI Framework07:09 Apple Rumored to Invest in Intel Amid U.S. Chip Push, While Retreating From Vision Pro in Favor of Smart Glasses10:12 AI Is Becoming the Airline Business: Why MSPs Must Embed Capability, Not Sell Commodity This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://mailprotector.com/https://timezest.com/mspradio/ Webinar:  https://bit.ly/msprmail  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are significantly increasing their technology budgets, focusing on strategic investments that support long-term growth. According to a study by Forrester Consulting, 88% of SMBs plan to enhance their cloud strategies and cybersecurity through increased spending on third-party services. The study also highlights a growing emphasis on improving customer experience and reducing enterprise risk, with cloud-based disaster recovery solutions and hybrid cloud strategies becoming essential. However, the integration of AI services into the economy is expected to take years, as businesses need time to learn about new AI products and train their employees.The UK government has issued a second Technical Capability Notice requiring Apple to provide access to encrypted data and messages of British users stored on its iCloud service. This directive follows a previous request that raised diplomatic tensions with the US and has led Apple to withdraw its Advanced Data Protection Service in the UK, weakening user privacy. The implications of this move are significant for SMBs that rely on iCloud, as it introduces potential security risks and highlights the need for additional encryption measures.Microsoft is facing pushback as it prepares to end free security updates for Windows 10, which is set to occur on October 14, 2025. A coalition of organizations, including repair shops and advocacy groups, is urging Microsoft to extend these updates, citing concerns that many PCs will be left insecure or unusable. With a significant portion of Windows 10 machines unable to upgrade to Windows 11, businesses are left with difficult choices regarding their operating systems, potentially leading to increased e-waste.In the realm of AI, major companies like Microsoft, Salesforce, and Stripe are launching new tools that integrate AI capabilities into their existing platforms. Microsoft has introduced Microsoft 365 Premium, which combines Office applications with AI features, while Salesforce has launched AgentForce Fibes, a tool that streamlines coding through natural language. Stripe's new instant checkout feature within ChatGPT allows users to purchase products directly from chat interfaces. These developments indicate that AI is becoming an integral part of business infrastructure, and MSPs must focus on helping clients leverage these tools effectively to drive business outcomes.Four things to know today00:00 SMBs Are Increasing Tech Budgets for Cloud, Cybersecurity, and AI, But Forrester Warns True AI Value Will Take Years to Realize04:07 UK Pressures Apple on iCloud Again, Forcing Encryption Rollback That Puts Privacy, Business Security, and Global Precedent at Risk05:39 Windows 10 Sunset Becomes a Flashpoint: Market Share, Hardware Incompatibility, and Sustainability Collide in Microsoft's 2025 Deadline08:23 From Office to Checkout: Microsoft, Salesforce, Stripe, OpenAI, and Google Push AI Into Everyday Work and Consumer Life This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/https://mailprotector.com/ Webinar:  https://bit.ly/msprmail All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

We explore the emotional challenges families face when placing loved ones in senior communities and how improved communication can alleviate concerns and guilt.Justen and Darleen discuss the importance of bridging the communication gap between senior communities and families. Often, there is a significant disconnect in how information is shared, which can cause stress and result in an unsatisfactory experience for families involved in assisted living. Families need to be informed about their loved ones' medications, including types and dosages, as well as their overall health status, the doctors they are seeing, and their participation in daily activities. Additionally, families need to know if their loved ones are enjoying their meals and thriving. Effective communication ensures families have the necessary information to confirm that mom or dad is well-cared for or to identify when additional assistance may be needed.Tune in to discover how 'How's Mom' is revolutionizing senior care communication, improving family connections, and potentially shaping the future of healthcare coordination. Whether you're a family member of a senior in care or a professional in the industry, this episode offers valuable insights into the power of effective communication in senior living communities.SeniorLivingGuide.com Podcast sponsored by Terrabella Senior LivingThe background music is written, performed, and produced exclusively by purple-planet.com.https://www.purple-planet.com/*SeniorLivingGuide.com Webinars and Podcast represents the opinions and expertise of our guests.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the technology services landscape, with leading reports from IDC, Gartner, and new offerings from ServiceNow pointing to a future where managing AI sprawl becomes as critical as delivering AI capabilities themselves. High-performing channel partners are leaning into AI specialization, driving measurable outcomes for customers and fueling double-digit growth despite market pressures. At the same time, ServiceNow's “AI Experience” platform aims to consolidate fragmented AI tools, offering a unified interface that can streamline operations and reduce complexity. The broader market, according to Gartner, is accelerating rapidly, with spending on generative AI projected to surpass traditional software in the coming years—meaning providers who fail to deliver outcomes risk being left behind.Yet the rise of AI isn't all progress. Studies from Stanford, European labor groups, and cybersecurity organizations reveal a governance crisis brewing in workplaces. Workers are reporting a surge of “workslop”—AI-generated content that looks like productivity but creates no value—costing companies billions. Algorithmic management is eroding worker autonomy, while surveillance and data risks undermine trust in employers. To compound the problem, employees are increasingly feeding sensitive data into AI systems without adequate training, raising new security vulnerabilities. These trends highlight the urgent need for policies, training, and governance frameworks to ensure AI adds value instead of chaos.The disruption is also spilling into specific industries. In translation, human professionals are already being displaced as AI-driven tools gain adoption. WhatsApp's newly built-in translation capability demonstrates how “good enough” AI can be enough for most users, sidelining human expertise except in fields requiring deep cultural or contextual understanding. The translation sector serves as an early warning sign: as AI grows more capable, other professions—including legal research, finance, and customer support—face similar pressures. The lesson for providers is to help clients identify where AI is appropriate and where human oversight remains essential.Meanwhile, major vendors are steadily encroaching into IT services, redrawing the lines of what MSPs can offer. Acronis is embedding patch management into its backup suite, Slack is introducing AI-powered ticket deflection, GoTo and Nexthink are fusing support and analytics, and IBM is shifting developer tooling to its hosted cloud. Each move chips away at traditional MSP offerings, putting pressure on providers to adapt. The opportunity lies in integration and governance—helping customers unify fragmented tools, ensure compliance, and deliver outcomes that vendors alone cannot. For MSPs, the message is clear: evolve toward higher-value services, or risk being sidelined by the very vendors you once partnered with.Four things to know today00:00 From Growth to Governance: IDC, Gartner, and ServiceNow Show Where AI Is Headed for Partners and Customers05:07 AI at Work: “Workslop,” Surveillance, and Data Leaks Signal Rising Governance Crisis08:42 From WhatsApp to Workflows: AI Translation Disruption Signals Broader Job Shifts Ahead11:33 Vendors Expand Into IT Services: Acronis, Slack, IBM, and GoTo Redraw the MSP Value Line This is the Business of Tech.   Supported by: https://scalepad.com/dave/https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship Webinar:  https://bit.ly/msprmail All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

In this powerful continuation, Michael Jaco sits down with Sheila Holm to discuss the upcoming historic meeting with America's military Generals and Admirals — a gathering that could alter the course of the nation's future. Sheila unpacks the urgent issues surrounding military accountability, exposing deep corruption within the Department of Defense and beyond. From the echoes of the Civil War to the dangerous maneuvers of today's political elite, this conversation highlights the moral and legal reform desperately needed to restore America's sovereignty. Together, Michael and Sheila analyze the significance of recent open letters from high-ranking officers, the hidden meanings behind historical monuments, and the spiritual battle entwined with today's political landscape. They emphasize how this pivotal moment may ignite the shift toward liberty, justice, and the revival of constitutional order. This is not just analysis — it's a call to vigilance, courage, and action as the tide of history begins to turn.

The episode starts with the passage of California's groundbreaking AI transparency law, marking the first legislation in the United States that mandates large AI companies to disclose their safety protocols and provide whistleblower protections. This law applies to major AI labs like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind, requiring them to report critical safety incidents to California's Office of Emergency Services and ensure safety for communities while promoting AI growth. This regulation is a clear signal that the compliance wave surrounding AI is real, with California leading the charge in shaping the future of AI governance.The second story delves into a new cybersecurity risk in the form of the first known malicious Model Context Protocol (MCP) server discovered in the wild. A rogue npm package, "postmark-mcp," was found to be forwarding email data to an external address, exposing sensitive communications. This incident raises concerns about the security of software supply chains and highlights how highly trusted systems like MCP servers are being exploited. Service providers are urged to be vigilant, as this attack marks the emergence of a new vulnerability within increasingly complex software environments.Moving to Microsoft, the company is revamping its Marketplace to introduce stricter partner rules and enhanced discoverability for partner solutions. Microsoft's new initiative, Intune for MSPs, aims to address the needs of managed service providers who have long struggled with multi-tenancy management. Additionally, the company's new "Agent Mode" in Excel and Word promises to streamline productivity by automating tasks but has raised concerns over its accuracy. Despite the potential, Microsoft's tightening ecosystem requires careful navigation for both customers and partners, with compliance and risk management being central to successful engagement.Finally, Broadcom's decision to end support for VMware vSphere 7 has left customers with difficult decisions. As part of Broadcom's transition to a subscription-based model, customers face either costly upgrades, cloud migrations, or reliance on third-party support. Gartner predicts that a significant number of VMware customers will migrate to the cloud in the coming years, and this shift presents a valuable opportunity for service providers to act as trusted advisors in guiding clients through the transition. For those who can manage the complexity of this migration, there's a once-in-a-generation opportunity to capture long-term customer loyalty. Three things to know today00:00 California Enacts Nation's First AI Transparency Law, Mandating Safety Disclosures and Whistleblower Protections05:25 First Malicious MCP Server Discovered, Exposing Email Data and Raising New Software Supply Chain Fears07:16 Microsoft's New Playbook: Stricter Marketplace, Finally Some MSP Love, and AI That's Right Only Half the Time11:07 VMware Customers Face Subscription Shift, Rising Cloud Moves, and Risky Alternatives as Broadcom Ends vSphere 7 This is the Business of Tech.   Supported by: https://scalepad.com/dave/https://mailprotector.com/ Webinar:  https://bit.ly/msprmail All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

When it comes to peacebuilding, business might not be the first answer that springs to mind. But for almost two decades, the Peace Through Business program has proved empowering women entrepreneurs is one of the most effective ways to repair broken societies. This was the first webinar in a series of three aimed at introducing people to the program's roots in Afghanistan, the women whose lives were changed and how urgently this work needs continued support - and growth. Watch our Interview Here. From Vision to Reality The Peace Through Business program was started by Dr. Terry Neese nearly 20 years ago at the suggestion of First Lady Laura Bush. The aim was humble but audacious: to empower Afghan women to enter their country's economic life, become business leaders and play a role in rebuilding a nation emerging from the darkness of Taliban rule. The public-private aspect of this from the very beginning made it different. This autonomy enabled the program to be flexible, creative and genuinely responsive to women. It also espoused a philosophy of paying it forward — the graduates were urged to not only expand their own businesses, but also to be advocates for others and create policies that would lift up other women across Afghanistan. Peace Through Business Program with Lasting Impact More than 900 Afghan women have been trained and mentored through Peace Through Business since 2007. These women are one of a kind trailblazers in every way. They have started Afghanistan's first printing press owned by women, established women's gyms to encourage health, ventured into logistics companies and forged a path into fields once thought inappropriate. One alum alone, for instance, sold her jewelry to fund a dried fruit-exporter dream. With the support of the program, she developed a business plan, figured out how to negotiate with international buyers and eventually, became one of the country's top exporters — until Taliban control prompted her to shut down operations. Today, she is building again, with resilience and strength. Other graduates teamed up to form the country's first Afghanistan Women's Chamber of Commerce and Industry. This advocacy group turned into the Afghan Women's Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which helped influence national trade policy, procurement laws and industrial land allocation processes — to ensure that women business owners were included in plans for the future. These are not small wins. They embody seismic cultural changes in a country where women were once banished from public life. Persevering Amid Crisis This whole success story was upended on August 15, 2021, when the Taliban reconquered Afghanistan. Decades of advances for women were rolled back in a single day. Gender Apartheid Since then, more than 130 decrees have curtailed women's rights, whatever those might be to a Muslim cleric in this type of Islamic state. But the women of Peace Through Business aren't ready to quit. Many are now operating home-based businesses, needing little more than a smart phone to connect with trainers and mentors. Former college professors, nonprofit workers and government employees — now unable to practice their professions — are remaking themselves as entrepreneurs. Their steadfastness to create livelihoods for themselves and others is an act of resistance and hope. Training That Changes Lives At its essence, Peace Through Business is more than a workshop or a certificate program. It's a meticulously planned learning trajectory. The participants acquire practical business skills — from writing business plans, to marketing and export. They are matched with mentors, often through virtual “e-mentoring,” enabling supporters from across the world to walk alongside them in their growth. Above all graduates take with them more than knowledge. They come away with a sisterhood —women committed to lifting one another. It's this network that supports them through hard times and drives the ripple effect of change in their community. Why Now Matters--Why You Matter More Than Ever This year, more than 120 Afghan women applied for just 35 slots in the program. Demand is exponentially greater than supply at present. In a world where Afghanistan is fading from the headlines, never has the help been needed more. “There is no other program that rivals it,” Monica Smiley, publisher of Enterprising Women and president of the Enterprising Women Foundation said in a webinar, “No matter where you are or what your career is … if you really want to make a difference in this world — significant difference — I can't think of a better example than the Peace Through Business program.” How You Can Help Afghan women are not seeking charity, they are asking for opportunity. And we can help provide it. With a contribution, you are providing support for training programs, mentoring and small grants that enable women to begin or rebuild businesses. When you volunteer as a mentor, you're sharing your experience, reinforcing courage and sounding a voice for the cause. Every donation or hour of volunteers time offers a lifeline to women who refuse to be silenced, women who are making jobs happen and changing policy plus in spite of impossible odds keeping hope alive. Join Us Learn more, donate or volunteer as a mentor at Enterprising Women Foundation. Together we can make sure that the voices and visions of Afghan women entrepreneurs are not just heard, but magnified. For when women succeed, communities succeed. And when peace is constructed through business it happens to be lasting.   Connect with me: Website: www.simonassociates.net Email: info@simonassociates.net Books:  Learn more about our books here: Rethink: Smashing the Myths of Women in Business Women Mean Business: Over 500 Insights from Extraordinary Leaders to Spark Your Success On the Brink: A Fresh Lens to Take Your Business to New Heights Listen + Subscribe: Available wherever you get your podcasts—Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, YouTube, and more.

This is our special International Podcast Day episode, and I am delighted to be joined by James Swanke, the Director of the Risk Management and Insurance MBA Program at the Wisconsin School of Business at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. [4:06] Jim spent four decades at WTW, specializing in financial and strategic planning issues, as well as captive insurance company design. [4:18] Jim was recently quoted in a new professional report, available on the RIMS Risk Knowledge page, and sponsored by LineSlip Solutions, titled “The Future of Captive Insurance: Governance, Technology, and Performance Optimization.” [4:32] Jim got his start at the University of Wisconsin in broadcasting. We're going to talk about his career path and how being a disc jockey led him to where he is today, educating the next generation of risk professionals. Let's get to it! [4:50] Interview! Jim Swanke, welcome to RIMScast! [5:38] When Jim was in high school, he competed in forensics, in extemporaneous speaking. He did very well. He did well at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and it got put in the newspaper. WLDY, in Ladysmith, Wisconsin, saw it in the newspaper and contacted him. [6:03] They were looking for a radio jock to “spin vinyls,” do some DJing, and read sports and news. That job helped Jim get into the University of Wisconsin-Madison. [6:21] Jim studied actuarial science and risk management. He went into the Bachelor's program, the MBA program, and the graduate program in risk management, insurance, and corporate finance. [6:40] Jim was hired by the Wyatt Company and did lots of feasibility studies. After 42 years at Willis Towers Watson, he retired. Now he teaches at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. [6:57] Broadcasting set Jim on his path. He says that everything about what we do in the captive and risk management area is about communication. If you're not communicating, listening, helping out, and building stuff, you're not going to be a success. [7:28] When Jim was a DJ at WLDY, they played different kinds of music. On Sundays, he played polka music. On Saturdays, it was country western, and Monday through Friday, it was rock music. Rock music is what he enjoys. At the top of every hour, he did the news and weather. [8:13] Justin recalls his own career. He was just waiting for podcasting to be invented, then he was able to make it all work out. [8:31] Jim worked with captives at Willis Towers Watson. He is quoted in a new LineSlip paper, “The Future of Captive Insurance: Governance, Technology, and Performance Optimization.” Justin saw his name there and thought it would be good to have him on RIMScast. [8:53] Jim described captives as a lifeline during extreme market conditions, comparing today's hard market to the turbulence of the 1980s. Jim tells what makes captives effective under hard conditions. Captives allow organizations to control their own destiny. [9:20] When you're in a hard market, having a captive allows you to take premiums that you normally pay to a commercial insurance carrier and put them into your captive insurance company. A captive is a subsidiary of the captive owner. [9:41] Most of the Fortune 500 companies in the United States have a captive. It allows them to arbitrage whatever's going on in the insurance marketplace. When we're having a difficult market, they put more of their premiums into the captive and rely on the captive more. [9:58] When the market softens, carriers may provide insurance at premiums that are lower than the expected losses. Organizations will buy commercial insurance all the time when the premiums are less than their projected losses. [10:14] Depending on where it is in the market, a captive has a role in an organization's risk management program. [10:27] Jim says a lot of organizations have looked to captives since 2020. We were in the midst of the pandemic, with all kinds of economic hardship. The insurance industry was in despair, as well. A lot of insurance companies cut back on the limits they were willing to offer. [10:49] Insurance companies put additional exclusions onto their insurance, so organizations had to rely on their own sophisticated ways of financing their losses. If they hadn't set up a captive, they set up a captive. If they had a captive in the past, they re-engineered it to do more. [11:15] They also used their captives to access the reinsurance marketplace. Reinsurance is insurance for insurance companies. A captive can be used as a platform to access reinsurers. [11:37] Even in difficult markets, having reinsurers involved created more competition, provided more limits, and there was more flexibility in the coverage terms. [11:48] That was when the pandemic was going on, which triggered the hardening of the market and the lack of availability of insurance. Organizations with captives relied on them and did more. Organizations without captives had captive feasibility studies done and formed captives. [12:09] Jim says the CEO of a captive should be a senior person who will monitor what's going on, fairly senior in the organization. It's not a full-time position. It takes three or four hours a month, plus board meetings. [12:46] A captive is required to have a captive manager, who is an accountant. They keep the books and interface for the captive with the regulator. The President or CEO of the captive relies on the captive manager to do a lot of the daily work. [13:09] Jim says you need a senior person involved so people take the captive seriously. The senior person is going to be the driver in reducing the severity of loss through loss prevention and loss reduction. Having a senior person is so important to the success of the captive. [13:40] There are lots of considerations when you're looking to make changes to your captive. Changes could include adding emerging types of risks, like cyber risk. If you're a hospital, a lot of medical malpractice captives have been hugely successful and have grown surplus. [14:08] Healthcare institutions are passing on some of their capitated risk exposures into their captives because they've done quite well with their medical malpractice. These risks are not correlated with each other, so there is a diversification benefit. [14:22] As you look to make these changes, you need to look at increasing risk assumptions, different attachment points on reinsurance, and changing your investment policy. You have lots of levers, and if you make changes, you need to analyze what the impact will be on your captive. [14:52] Jim talks about leaning into technology. Before 9/11, we didn't have the sophisticated software we've created in the last few years. [15:06] To look at covering all the possibilities and changing your captives, from adding new coverages to reinsurance reattachment points, was a monumental amount of actuarial work to figure out how to optimize your captive. [15:19] Recently developed software looks at all the possibilities in terms of changing your captive to optimize what you're doing. 20 years ago, Jim would spend months doing the actuarial work, working with an investment bank and charging them heavy fees. [15:39] Now, with new software, what took Jim months and months to do can be done in a matter of two to three days. The productivity today, in terms of optimizing your captive, is far greater than it was 20 years ago, because of the software that has been developed. [15:55] Jim likes that the software looks at all the risks and how these risks interact with one another. Looking at risks in a captive holistically is very important because many of these risks are hardly correlated with one another. [16:15] Looking at risks holistically, you can figure out the diversification benefit of having all of these risks within your captive, which has a major impact on the amount of economic capital that your captive will need to maintain. This software has been a game-changer. [16:34] RIMS Events! On October 1st through the 3rd, the RIMS Western Regional Conference will be held in North San Jose at the Santa Clara Marriott.

[18:08] In the spirit of it being September 30th, which is International Podcast Day, let's return to our interview with Jim Swanke! [18:22] Jim is the Director of the Risk Management and Insurance MBA at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The curriculum includes technology, AI, and automation. In his classes, Jim is using the new software he discussed earlier. [18:46] Jim taught a class the day before on the principles of risk management. He talked about how risks are interrelated with each other and how you need to analyze them holistically, figuring out how they are correlated, not in siloes. [19:13] The holistic view will give you the best answer in terms of the economic capital that will be required to put into your captive. If you're analyzing risks silo by silo for each risk, that will lead you to having more economic capital in your captive than you need. [19:35] Jim has learned, in 42 years of consulting, that the CFOs in these organizations don't want to trap cash in their captives. Teaching this software to this new generation of students, they will be able to step into the roles of captive managers that the industry will need. [20:07] We're at the tip of the iceberg with AI. We're still learning in Academia what the power of AI is going to be. Jim foresees AI being very important in handling claims and in underwriting. [20:30] AI will allow commercial insurance companies to have a better way of doing their pricing and making decisions on whether or not risks should be accepted. It will also be beneficial to captives. [20:43] Jim thinks AI will advance the technology far ahead. We're just beginning to touch on some of the advantages within the insurance industry and within captives. [21:05] Jim started teaching in 2011. When University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor Dan Anderson retired, Jim was chosen to teach a class on sustainability that was started by Professor Anderson. He has taught it since 2011. [21:41] At the time, some students did not think anything was going on with climate change. A couple of students stood up in class and said all of this was just made up. It was a fantasy. [22:03] Today, when Jim goes into class, students are there a half-hour early and stay late. They are very connected and working together to figure out how to reduce CO2 emissions to slow down the heating of the planet and the extreme weather events that are coming more often. [22:24] The class has evolved over the years, and the students are more engaged than they ever have been. [22:33] The students from the University of Wisconsin-Madison were the winners of the Spencer-RIMS Risk Management Challenge at RISKWORLD 2025 in Chicago. Jim knows all of those students and had a couple of them in his class yesterday. [23:04] The students won with the Huntington, West Virginia case study, a six-month project. Huntington is on the Ohio River, and with extreme weather events, flooding has become a big issue in that community. They competed with students around the world to solve the issue. [23:49] Each school's team came up with things that could be done and conducted an analysis on what they thought was the best way of handling it. The University of Wisconsin-Madison's team focused on resiliency with levees and dikes to hold back the flooding. [24:27] The four Wisconsin students presented their paper and won, out of 61 schools competing. The University of Wisconsin-Madison received $10K. The second-place university, DePaul, received $7.5K, and the third-place school, IIRM Hyderabad (past year winner), got $5K. [25:04] The University of Wisconsin-Madison team entered two other contests last year and won them both. The CICA Captive competition involved case studies around Kaneka captives. It required an essay and a PowerPoint deck. [25:52] The MBA students entered the A.M. Best competition for insurance solutions to a global issue. The students used a combination of parametric and indemnity triggers to provide insurance to the disadvantaged in the Caribbean and Latin America. [26:23] If there was hurricane damage, it would trigger a parametric to allow an amount of money to be paid immediately to these disadvantaged families. Then there would be the indemnity insurance that would look at the actual losses and true them up to the loss amount. [26:49] It involved the combination of parametrics and conventional indemnity insurance, which was noteworthy and probably pushed the team over the top. [27:11] The professor who was the advisor in the Spencer Challenge is Carl Barlett. Carl is an attorney by training, and he has the energy to work with bachelor's students. He's graduated hundreds of people out of his program over the last four or five years. [27:59] The University has Career Fairs where 60 or 70 companies will come to meet with students. That's a credit to Carl. Not a lot of companies will come to a university to meet with students. Because of the program he put together, lots of organizations want to hire students. [28:21] The University of Wisconsin-Madison business school is typically ranked number 1. [28:31] A Final Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals is achieved, in part, by its collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [28:50] Since 1999, Spencer has awarded over $2.9 million to create more than 570 Risk Management Internships. The Internship Grants application process is now open through October 15th, 2025. [29:06] To be eligible, risk managers must be based in the U.S., Canada, or Bermuda. A link to the Internship Grants page is in this episode's show notes. You can always visit SpencerEd.org, as well. [29:19] Let's Get Back to Our Interview with Jim Swanke of the University of Wisconsin-Madison! [29:46] Jim tells his students that we don't know today what the emerging risks are going to be. What we need to do is design our risk management program and keep our eyes and ears open to what is going to happen next. [30:04] Jim cites The Black Swan, by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. It gets into what we need to do as people of risk management and societies to try to identify the emerging risks that will impact us going forward. [30:21] In risk management, we look at the past to try to project what's going to happen in the future. We were caught by the pandemic. Very little business interruption insurance was offered. If we had been forward-thinking, we would have thought about coverages for the emerging risks. [31:19] An emerging risk after 9/11 was that insurance companies put exclusions on their insurance policies, excluding terrorism. The Federal Government passed the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA) and offered it as a backstop to insurance companies. [31:55] Anybody with a captive could access that reinsurance through the U.S. Treasury, using their captive insurance company. [32:23] Jim sees more employee benefits going into captives. The advantages you have in the P&C area are also in place for employee benefits. Organizations with large workers' compensation self-insurance programs are putting excess workers' compensation into captives. [32:57] Jim says you need to be nimble and on your toes. Emerging risks are going to come out over the next 10 to 15 or 20 years. Keep your eyes and ears open so when they emerge, you can deal with them to reduce the frequency and severity of loss and see how to finance them. [33:19] Jim highly recommends reading The Black Swan. It's a good way to begin to think about how you should think about emerging risks. [33:42] Jim says school is going really well. One thing he noticed this year is the diverse nature of his students. There are more disciplines within the risk management area that people are interested in. [33:56] In class recently, Jim had a group that was in the investment banking area, a group that was in HR, and a couple of students from China. There was a broad diversity in the class. [34:16] It enriches the conversation to have people coming from different places with different backgrounds and different educational experiences. It shows the power of having diversity in the classroom. It's exciting. [34:32] The class will write papers on Enterprise Risk Management and talk about captives, and more. They'll compete in the CICA Captive Competition again, to maintain their number one rating there! They're off to a great start! It's nice to see students so highly energized! [34:53] Jim says the future is bright with the students graduating from the Wisconsin School of Business at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. [35:22] Justin and others have liked Jim's broadcasting voice. Jim thanks Justin for commenting on it. [35:55] Jim's time as a DJ was 50 years ago. He recalls two or three instances of hot mikes, when some of the FCC's seven deadly words may have been spoken. He says nobody wants that, but it was a real learning experience. [36:29] Jim recalls when the studio tower was hit by lightning. Jim was alone in the radio station when it happened. Lightning bolts were flying around the building after the tower got hit. The station went off the air, and Jim had to figure out a way to put it back on the air. [36:58] Jim highly recommends to young people, if you get an opportunity to get involved with radio or TV, give it a shot, because it's a lot of fun! Justin ties it to podcasting and video blogging. [37:42] Jim likes all the music of 1976 and didn't have a favorite album. He likes Deep Purple and Bob Seger. He says there's no better songwriter than Bob Seger. There was a diversity of good music going out at that time. It was a wonderful time to be working in a radio station. [38:47] Justin is a father of two young people under 12 who like to listen to classic rock. “Dancing in the Moonlight,” by King Harvest, is a greatest hit in the family. They love Van Morrison. [39:56] On the subject of podcasting, Jim thinks there is an opportunity to develop content that helps the everyday American with their personal insurances, like homeowners, auto, health, life, and how they buy their insurances. [40:45] In class recently, the MBA students, the brightest and best, designing plans for New York investment banks and worldwide financial institutions, told Jim that they had questions about what to buy in auto policies and homeowners policies. [41:07] Jim states that an insurance podcast for the everyday American is something the industry needs to be doing. Justin suggests that members of the global RIMScast audience could pick up the baton and get to work! [41:27] Maybe it becomes part of the coursework for a class like Jim's. It could be part of a challenge, like the Spencer-RIMS Risk Management Challenge. [41:48] Jim says being able to talk about this with graduate students gives them some familiarity with what risk is, in terms of the instability of results. They can relate to it because they need to buy an auto policy or a homeowners policy. [42:03] While these coverages don't match up perfectly with what's going on in the commercial insurance marketplace, learning about them gives students a sense of what insurance is about, what risk management is about, and how to reduce the frequency and severity of losses. [42:22] Jim, it has been such a pleasure to speak with you and to pick your brain on risk management education, broadcasting, and music! Thank you so much for joining us here on RIMScast! [42:33] Good luck to you and your students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as you look to the 2026 competitions. I can only imagine they're going to do great things!

The global IT services market is projected to grow significantly, reaching nearly $3 trillion by 2033, driven by the increasing adoption of cloud services, digital transformation, and a rising demand for automation and cybersecurity solutions. Proactive IT services currently dominate the market, accounting for over half of the share, particularly in heavily regulated sectors like banking, financial services, and healthcare. However, the growth of AI adoption is being hindered by spiraling legacy IT costs, which stall modernization efforts and create opportunities for IT service providers to assist organizations in bridging the gap between outdated systems and modern solutions.Investment in artificial intelligence is also on the rise, with global spending expected to reach nearly $1.5 trillion this year and surpass $2 trillion next year. The focus of this investment is broadening beyond traditional tech giants, with significant contributions from Chinese companies and new AI cloud providers. Despite concerns about job displacement due to AI, a recent survey indicates that most business leaders believe AI will enhance employee support rather than lead to significant job cuts. This highlights the importance of training and change management as organizations adapt to new technologies.Major players in the IT sector, such as Microsoft, Intuit, and OpenAI, are making significant advancements in their AI offerings. Microsoft has launched a centralized AI marketplace, integrating thousands of applications to simplify access for businesses. Intuit has improved its generative AI operating system for financial management, while OpenAI has introduced collaborative features for ChatGPT, enhancing team productivity. These developments underscore the competitive landscape as companies race to control the AI stack and provide valuable tools for enterprises.As organizations face the challenges of legacy IT systems and the need for modernization, IT service providers have a crucial role to play. They must help clients navigate the complexities of integrating new technologies while managing the human side of the transition. The emphasis on proactive services, employee training, and effective change management will be essential for businesses to thrive in an increasingly AI-driven environment. The future of IT services lies not just in technological advancements but in the ability to support clients through their transformation journeys.Three things to know today 00:00 Proactive IT Services Lead $1.5 Trillion Market, Banking and Healthcare Fuel Demand05:57 Legacy IT Costs Surging, Report Finds, Forcing Enterprises Toward Modernization07:45 From Marketplaces to Machine Learning: Tech Giants Position AI as Core Business Infrastructure This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by: https://timezest.com/mspradio/https://mailprotector.com/ Webinar:   https://bit.ly/msprmail All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

 We welcome Jill Amy Sager—an award-winning author, public speaker, intuitive Tarot reader, and spiritual channel whose story is as inspiring as it is transformative. Jill's journey began in the late 1970s when she first studied Tarot, never imagining that it would lead her to channel wisdom from the Universe—what she lovingly calls “Guidance.” Over time, her gift as a spiritual medium grew, and today she serves an international clientele, offering clarity, healing, and connection through the Tarot and intuitive messages. Born with a physical disability, Jill spent much of her childhood in hospitals, facing the stigma of being a disabled child in the 1960s. What once left her feeling unworthy ultimately became the foundation of her strength. She credits the wisdom of the Tarot and the love of Universal Guidance for transforming her self-image and helping her embrace a life of confidence and purpose. Her creative journey is just as remarkable. Once a percussionist, Jill became an author when her book Beginning Hand Drumming: A Guide to Recreation and Wellness was published by Carl Fischer Music. Since then, her work has been featured in outlets such as Women Writers, Women's Books, Story Circle, Awakened Magazine, The Register Guard, Silver Birch Press, Authority Magazine, and The Power of Each Breath: A Disabled Women's Anthology. In this episode, Jill shares:   How Tarot can be a tool for empowerment and spiritual guidance   Her experience of overcoming stigma and disability to embrace her worth   The evolution from musician to writer to intuitive healer   How “Guidance” continues to shape her life and inspire her global community Join us for an uplifting conversation about resilience, spirituality, and the transformative power of trusting Universal wisdom.

Welcome to the Part Time Pilot Audio Ground School Podcast! This podcast takes our free podcast to a whole new level by providing students with every single lesson included in the Part Time Pilot Private Pilot & IFR Ground Schools without a single Ad! On top of that, VIP podcast students get BONUS episodes like Mock Checkrides, Checkride Prep, Expert Interviews and more!   The #1 reason student pilots never end up becoming a private pilot is NOT due to money. The real reason is actually deeper than that. Yes, flight training is expensive. But every student pilot knows this and budgets for it when they decide to do it.   The actual #1 reason a student pilot fails is because they do not have a good, fundamental understanding of the private pilot knowledge they are meant to learn in ground school.   You see when a student does not have a good grasp of this knowledge they get to a point in their flight training where their mind just can't keep up. They start making mistakes and having to redo lessons. And THAT is when it starts getting too expensive.   This audio ground school is meant for the modern day student pilot... aka the part time student pilot. Let's face it, the majority of us have full time responsibilities on top of flight training. Whether it is a job, kids, family, school, etc. we all keep ourselves busy with the things that are important to us. And with today's economy we have to maintain that job just to pay for the training. The modern day student pilot is busy, on the go and always trying to find time throughout his or her day to stay up on their studies. The audio ground school allows them to consume high quality content while walking, running, working out, sitting in traffic, traveling, or even just a break from the boring FAR/AIM or ground school lecture.   Did I meant high quality content? The audio ground school is taken straight out of the 5-star rated Part Time Pilot Online Ground School that has had over 2000 students take and pass their Private Pilot & IFR exams with only 2 total students failing the written. That's a 99.9% success rate! And the 2 that failed? We refunded their cost of ground school and helped them pass on their second attempt. We do this by keeping ground school engaging, fun, light and consumable. We have written lessons, videos, audio lessons, live video lessons, community chats, quizzes, practice tests, flash cards, study guides, eBooks and much more.   Part Time Pilot was created to be a breath of fresh air for student pilots. To be that flight training provider that looks out for them and their needs. So that is just what we are doing with this podcast.     BONUS: In this BONUS episode we play the audio of our Free Webinar that talked about the Biggest Mistakes Student Pilots are Making and How to Avoid Them. Information that I believe can make or break your ability to become a pilot!   Links mentioned in the episode: VIP Waitlist sign-up: https://parttimepilot.com/vip-waitlist-sign-up/  Private Pilot Online Ground School: PPL Ground School - Part Time Pilot Checkride Prep: PPL Checkride Prep - Part Time Pilot IFR Online Ground School: IFR Ground School – Part Time Pilot   PPL study group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/parttimepilot  IFR study group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/parttimepilotifr/   Recommended Products & Discounts:  https://parttimepilot.com/recommended-products-for-student-pilots/   

Managed service providers (MSPs) are experiencing significant growth driven by interest in artificial intelligence (AI), with 92% reporting an uptick in business. However, a concerning trend has emerged: only about half of these providers feel equipped to assist small and mid-sized businesses in adopting AI tools, a sharp decline from 90% the previous year. This growing readiness gap highlights the challenges MSPs face in meeting customer expectations as AI adoption accelerates. Experts emphasize the need for integrated security solutions to help navigate the complexities of AI.OpenAI's recent benchmarks reveal that a staggering 95% of enterprise AI projects fail, underscoring the difficulties companies encounter in justifying their AI investments. Despite advancements in AI models, their effectiveness remains inconsistent, particularly in handling complex, ongoing projects. The evaluation system introduced by OpenAI aims to bridge the gap between theoretical capabilities and real-world demands, indicating that while AI can perform tasks faster and cheaper than humans, it still struggles with contextual understanding and interaction.In the realm of digital content, Cloudflare has launched a feature allowing website owners to block Google's AI overview search product, addressing concerns from publishers about traffic losses due to AI-generated content. This move comes amid legal challenges faced by Google from publishers who argue that their content is being used without proper attribution. While Cloudflare's feature offers a potential solution, its effectiveness hinges on Google's compliance, raising questions about the future of content ownership in the age of AI.Regulatory pressures are also reshaping the landscape for major tech companies. Microsoft has been compelled to offer free extended security updates for Windows 10 in select European markets, responding to consumer advocacy for better support. Meanwhile, Apple has delayed the release of several features in Europe due to compliance challenges with the EU's Digital Markets Act. These developments highlight the increasing influence of regulation on technology services, prompting MSPs to prepare for client inquiries regarding disparities in service offerings across regions.Four things to know today00:00 92% of MSPs Report AI-Driven Growth, But Only Half Feel Ready to Support SMB Adoption02:50 Fast, Cheap, and Fragile: OpenAI Finds AI Struggles in Real Work While Cloudflare Challenges Google's AI Overviews06:44 EU Pressure Forces Microsoft to Extend Free Windows 10 Updates as Apple Delays Features Under DMA09:39 Innovation vs. Obligation: How Debt, Automation, and AI Metrics Are Rewriting the Managed Services PlaybookThis is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://mailprotector.com/ Webinar:  https://bit.ly/msprmail All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Generative AI is significantly transforming technology jobs, particularly by automating repetitive tasks such as coding and data processing. A recent analysis by Indeed indicates that while many tech skills will evolve, less than 1% are likely to be fully replaced by AI. This shift is creating challenges for organizations, as employees struggle with the overwhelming number of AI tools available, leading to wasted hours and lost productivity. Companies are urged to streamline their operations by implementing unified platforms that can integrate AI effectively, reducing manual tasks and enhancing overall productivity.The issue of AI agent sprawl is highlighted, where organizations may manage numerous AI agents, resulting in chaos rather than transformation. Analysts are reportedly losing an average of 9.1 hours each week due to inefficient workflows, costing companies billions annually. Despite this, many executives mistakenly believe their teams are operating at peak productivity. The podcast emphasizes the need for organizations to measure productivity based on actual output and create operational visibility to unlock growth potential.Diversity in IT leadership is another pressing concern, as the representation of women in technology continues to decline. A recent report reveals that while the number of women in the ICT sector has increased, men still dominate management roles. The exit of thousands of women from tech roles each year is attributed to a lack of career progression and recognition, rather than personal responsibilities. This trend not only affects workplace culture but also has significant economic implications, with billions lost due to decreased productivity and recruitment challenges.Finally, Google is merging Android and Chrome OS to create a new operating system aimed at enhancing AI capabilities on personal computers. This development is expected to impact how IT manages devices, particularly in K-12 and small business markets. Providers are advised to prepare for this shift by developing training and support strategies for clients. The podcast concludes with a call to action for IT leaders to focus on practical solutions to modern challenges, including email security, while also addressing the critical need for diversity and inclusion within the tech industry.Four things to know today00:00 AI Isn't Killing Jobs—It's Killing Repetition.

Health systems know they need to pull out all the stops when it comes to improving operational efficiency, given their financial climate. That doesn't necessarily mean they need entirely new strategies — but they do need to make the most of the tried-and-true tactics. Care variation reduction (CVR) has been part of the operational excellence playbook for years. The opportunity for efficiency and cost savings through CVR is massive—about $100B nationally — but the vast majority of health systems have not been able to unlock its full potential. This week, host Abby Burns invites Advisory Board provider operations expert Isis Monteiro to break down what's getting in the way of realizing that $100B, and how leaders can start to move the needle. We're here to help: Ep. 239: UNC Health: The care variation reduction story you need to hear Care Variation Reduction Assessment Identify your biggest opportunities for care variation reduction 6 strategies to improve your operating margins and financial resilience [Webinar] Care variation reduction: A $100B savings opportunity Learn from the 100+ health system finance leaders who participated in Advisory Board's capital spending survey — and find out how health systems are making capital decisions today.

On this week's episode of Unlimited Capital, Richard McGirr interviews Rohan Saxena. They dig into how to use paid ads as one piece of a diversified capital stack, and the exact “indoctrination sequence” that moves cold prospects from awareness to due diligence to funding. Rohan breaks down practical webinar and VSL funnels, split CTAs, show-up rate benchmarks, and simple KPI tracking using UTMs and a CRM so you can see which hooks actually convert. They also cover ad budget math, adding a small marketing fee to deals, and why courses or coaching can self-liquidate ad spend while scaling top of funnel.
