Few companies have a better real-time read on the American economy than Delta, and few CEOs are more willing to say what they actually think. Ed Bastian returns to Rapid Response to share what Delta's booking data is telling him that the headlines aren't, why he's not convinced by AI until it moves his top line, and how he decided to yank congressional travel perks during the government shutdown. He also explains what it takes to stay optimistic when fuel costs are spiking, the Strait of Hormuz is in the news, and the world keeps finding new ways to be unpredictable.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the first official Multifamily Minute episode of the newly rebranded Multifamily Hour, Axel introduces a macro economic concept that he believes every active real estate investor should be factoring into their deal-making right now: the K-shaped economy. Rather than leaving it as an abstract economic talking point, Axel translates it directly into a tactical framework for choosing deal types, building renovation scopes, and pricing rental units in today's market.This episode is essential listening for any investor currently executing or planning a value-add business plan who wants a clear, economically grounded framework for how to position their product, scope their renovations, and price their units in the current environment.Join us as we dive into:What a K-shaped economy is, real-world k-shaped examples across consumer sectors.Why businesses and investors "serving the middle" are getting squeezed — and why the same dynamic is hitting multifamily operators who are trying to push C-class product into B-class rent territory.The tactical implication for C-class deals: compete on price, do functional renovations only (life safety, curb appeal, cleanliness), and price below market to drive volume and minimize vacancy.A real example from Aligned's own portfolio: why the team moved away from $20K renovation scopes targeting $1,575–$1,600 rents and toward $15K functional scopes priced at $1,475 — with far more applications and faster lease-up as a result.The A-class play: why investors buying in truly A-class locations should go all-out on renovations — quartz countertops, tiled bathrooms, in-unit washer/dryer, smart locks, package lockers, built-in storage — because the A-class tenant is not price-sensitive and rewards a premium product with premium rent and strong renewal behavior.The short-term rental parallel: why Airbnbs that succeed are either ultra-premium (every amenity, right on the water, top-of-market pricing) or ultra-budget (high occupancy, low price) — and why the middle is where operators go to lose money.Where B-class investors fit: lean into what the B product can offer, pull C-class residents up with modest amenities and competitive pricing, and avoid over-improving a building that A-class residents won't want to live in regardless.Are you looking to invest in real estate, but don't want to deal with the hassle of finding great deals, signing on debt, and managing tenants? Aligned Real Estate Partners provides investment opportunities to passive investors looking for the returns, stability, and tax benefits multifamily real estate offers, but without the work - join our investor club to be notified of future investment opportunities.Connect with Axel:Follow him on InstagramConnect with him on LinkedinSubscribe to our YouTube channelLearn more about Aligned Real Estate Partners

Hyperscalers are pouring hundreds of billions into AI this year. Mid-market companies are right behind them, spending hundreds of thousands to millions on their own AI initiatives. Different scale, same accounting headache.Adam Olsen and Nicole Harger break down how to actually account for AI development costs, and why the playbook finance teams have used for traditional software doesn't map cleanly onto this technology.In this episode:Why framework selection comes first: internal-use software (ASC 350-40), externally marketed products (ASC 985-20), and pure research (ASC 730) all carry different capitalization rulesThe three-stage model under ASC 350-40 and why AI's iterative development cycle makes stage-tracking harder than it looksData costs: the most overlooked, most material line item, and the "alternative future use" judgment that determines its treatmentASU 2025-06: FASB's principles-based overhaul of internal-use software accounting, and the new "significant development uncertainty" concept that changes when AI projects can start capitalizingWhat this all means for budgeting, useful life assumptions, build-vs-buy decisions, and the auditor conversation
She was working with 60+ clients, hitting revenue milestones month after month, and everyone told her she was underpricing herself-so why did something feel so wrong? Olivia's business was the definition of success on paper: completely referral-based, continuously growing, with 10-12 hour days that felt like badges of honor rather than warning signs. But when she finally took 30 days off and looked at the math with fresh eyes, she saw something that changed everything: she wasn't building a business that fit the life she wanted five years from now. The uncomfortable truth? The million-dollar pivot everyone suggested would have worked perfectly, but it would have required her to compromise the very values that made her start podcasting in the first place.This episode reveals the dangerous seduction of momentum without structure, why high achievers react fast when they spot misalignment (and why that's often wrong), and the exact moment Olivia realized her $40,000 offers felt heavy not because she didn't believe in her expertise, but because they forced clients to pay more than podcasting as a vehicle for impact should cost. You'll learn why alignment doesn't maximize ego metrics but maximizes integrity, how to spot when you're building visibility versus coherence, and the one-sentence test that determines whether you have a growth problem or a coherence problem.Want to grow your podcast, land more guest appearances, and save hours every week?

At 16, his grandmother fled Kraków after the Nazis killed her father, worked a New York factory floor beside her mother, and applied to every medical school in the state three years running before one finally said yes — then told her second-grade grandson that education is the only thing nobody can ever take away from him.Years later, David Rogier quit his venture capital job with no idea what he wanted to build, and his boss wrote him a check for $500,000 and told him to go think of something; the dark, formless year that followed became MasterClass, whose holding company still carries his grandmother's nickname. Launch day brought so few sales that he went home and cried, and by day four it was obvious he had a real business on his hands. In this conversation, David breaks down how he got Hollywood's biggest names to say yes, why he believes degrees and résumés are quickly becoming worthless, and the three kinds of jobs he thinks will actually survive AI. David Rogier is the founder and CEO of MasterClass, the platform that put instruction from Martin Scorsese, Christina Aguilera, Steph Curry, and dozens of other world-class practitioners into the hands of millions of learners. He built it from a single $500,000 check and has since launched MasterClass Executive, an AI-native alternative to the traditional MBA created in collaboration with OpenAI and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

Discover how Dan and Ruth Bavington pioneered Business as Mission in the 1960s by launching Zor Engineering, the oldest known successful BAM company in Pakistan. Learn how they built a legacy of uncompromising biblical integrity that has survived over six decades and multiple generations.In this special episode, you will hear a powerful firsthand account of what it takes to plant and grow a kingdom business in a highly challenging environment.

If you are looking for a real-world blueprint on how a company can remain deeply profitable and faithful to God for decades, this interview provides the ultimate map.Key Takeaways• The Blueprint of Faith Over Capital: How Zor Engineering was registered as a local entity with a broad engineering scope, relying on divine opportunities rather than upfront wealth.• The Cost of Uncompromising Integrity: Real stories of massive contracts lost due to refusing to pay bribes, balanced by a miraculous divine connection that saved the company from bankruptcy.• A Strategic Multi-Faith Workplace: How creating a platform for Christian and Muslim laborers to work alongside each other became a powerful, non-preachy lifestyle witness.• Filling the Business Marketplace Gap: Why local Christian communities shouldn't limit their professions strictly to medicine or education, but embrace commercial trade as a holy calling.Topics Covered in this EpisodeThis interview explores the foundational history of Zor Engineering and the early evolution of the global Business as Mission movement.

Growing a business requires more than the right technology. It requires business systems that make important work repeatable, consistent, and easier to scale.In this episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life and Business, Jennifer R. Glass speaks with Adi Klevit, founder of Business Success Consulting Group and host of the Systems Simplified podcast, about how processes and standard operating procedures, or SOPs, help businesses operate more effectively.Jennifer and Adi explore the difference between a business process, an SOP, and the technology used to support them. They discuss why buying a new software platform does not automatically solve an underlying process problem and why businesses need to understand what they are trying to accomplish before adding another tool to their technology stack.The conversation also looks at one of the biggest risks facing growing businesses: important knowledge that exists only in one person's head. From employee onboarding and customer service to sales, payroll, marketing, and inventory, documenting repeatable processes can create greater consistency and make delegation easier.You'll also hear practical advice about deciding which processes to document first, keeping systems updated as the business changes, improving adoption across a team, and making sure industry terminology and acronyms are clearly understood.Whether you're starting a business or managing a fast-growing company, this episode will help you think differently about the systems behind your business and what needs to be in place before you can truly scale.Key takeaways:A system is bigger than software. Technology can execute or automate part of a process, but the underlying business process needs to be understood first.A process and an SOP are related but different. The process maps how work moves from point A to point B. The SOP explains how the work is executed step by step.Document what is repeatable. If something happens regularly, it may be a candidate for systematization.Protect institutional knowledge. A business becomes vulnerable when essential knowledge resides only in one employee's head.Systems support delegation. Documented processes make it easier to train people and move work away from the owner.Systems must stay alive. Documentation should be reviewed and improved rather than created once and forgotten.Technology needs a purpose. Before adding another platform, determine what role it plays in the larger business process. About my guest: Adi Klevit is the leader and visionary behind Business Success Consulting Group. With thirty years of experience as a trained Industrial Engineer and management consultant, she brings a unique understanding of the challenges businesses face today. Adi utilizes her practical know-how to help organizations of any size dramatically improve their efficiency and performance.

Fourteen years after launch, Subway Surfers is still one of the biggest games in the world. In this episode, Kalie Moore sits down with Mathias Gredal Nørvig, CEO of SYBO, to unpack how a mobile game launched in 2012 continues to attract between 100 and 150 million monthly players while nearly every other hit from its era has faded away. They explore the philosophy behind Subway Surfers' iconic World Tour live operations, why empowering artists and designers has kept the game feeling fresh for more than a decade, how community ideas have directly shaped new characters and game modes, and why collaborations with games like Brawl Stars have become some of the studio's most successful partnerships. Mathias also shares how Subway Surfers Cities evolved from years of experimentation, why SYBO deliberately avoided cannibalizing its flagship title, and what they're still learning as they build the franchise's next chapter.The conversation also dives into one of gaming's most remarkable organic marketing stories: how Subway Surfers became one of TikTok's biggest gaming phenomena without spending on user acquisition, why SYBO gives its social team extraordinary creative freedom, and how the studio thinks about virality, platform expansion, and community-first marketing. Mathias shares SYBO's measured approach to AI, lessons from becoming part of Miniclip and Tencent, why the company stepped back from large-scale licensing despite nearly five billion downloads, and how sustainability, accessibility, and healthy gameplay have become core parts of the studio's long-term vision. The episode offers a rare look inside one of mobile gaming's most enduring success stories and what it takes to build an evergreen franchise that continues to evolve without losing what made it special.We'd also like to thank Heroic Labs for making this episode possible!

In this episode, Andrew Soren is joined by organizational psychologist Ryan Fehr to explore how gratitude and social sustainability shape the quality of our relationships at work, and why those relationships are central to whether work feels meaningful, energizing, and fair.Ryan is a Professor of Management and Michael G. Foster Endowed Professor at the University of Washington's Foster School of Business, where his research focuses on building positive relationships, leadership, gratitude, compassion, forgiveness, solitude, and social burnout. In this conversation, he helps clarify what gratitude really is: a feeling of appreciation for benefits that come from outside ourselves. At work, that means recognizing the ways other people contribute to our progress, wellbeing, and sense of belonging.Andrew and Ryan dig into why gratitude can be so powerful in organizations, and why it can backfire when it feels forced, uneven, or disconnected from fairness and respect. They also discuss Ryan's work on social sustainability: the ability to build relationships that energize us rather than exhaust us.This conversation offers a practical look at what it means to feel that we matter at work. And, you'll learn what leaders, teams, and individuals can do to build relationships that are meaningful enough to sustain us.Key TakeawaysGratitude can strengthen workplace relationships by helping people feel seen, valued, and connected.Appreciation has to be authentic and fair. When gratitude is unevenly distributed, it can create resentment instead of belonging.Social sustainability is about building relationships that give energy rather than quietly draining it.Busy professionals may be less lonely than socially burned out. They are surrounded by interaction, but missing the kinds of connection that actually restore them.Why This Episode MattersMeaningful work depends on more than purpose or personal motivation. It is deeply shaped by the relationships around us.When people feel appreciated, treated fairly, and connected to others, work is more likely to feel energizing and worthwhile. When they feel unseen, overextended, or socially depleted, even meaningful work can become exhausting. Ryan Fehr's research helps explain why gratitude, fairness, and social sustainability belong at the center of the conversation about meaningful work.About Our GuestRyan Fehr is a Professor of Management and Michael G.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. The hottest name in China's domestic AI industry is Moonshot. The company's AI model -- known as Kimi K3 -- was released last Friday.

Du leistest Unmenschliches. Du postest brav deinen Content, schraubst an deiner Strategie, kaufst den nächsten Kurs und gibst täglich 100 %. Und trotzdem steht dein Konto auf der Stelle oder dümpelt festgefahren auf demselben Plateau – egal, ob du von 50k auf 100k oder von der halben Million zur Million skalieren willst. Hier ist die ungemütliche Wahrheit: Es liegt nicht an deinem Funnel, deinem Podcast oder deinem Angebot. Es sind unsichtbare Mächte, die im Hintergrund die Fäden ziehen und dein Wachstum eiskalt boykottieren. In dieser Folge lege ich die Ergebnisse aus der Zusammenarbeit mit über 2.000 Unternehmerinnen offen. Ich entlarve die 5 größten unsichtbaren Saboteure, die verhindern, dass du die unangefochtene Ikone deiner Nische wirst. Wir sprechen darüber, warum dein perfekter Feed dich in Wahrheit unsichtbar macht, wie sich vererbte Geldglaubenssätze als kaputte Waschmaschinen tarnen und warum ausgerechnet dein Partner oder deine besten Freunde deine gefährlichste Wachstumsbremse sind. Wenn du es satt hast, als austauschbarer „Vanilla-Coach“ im Feed überrollt zu werden, dann ist diese Folge dein persönlicher Befreiungsschlag! In der heutigen Folge erfährst du: - Der Vanilla-Effekt: Warum du im Feed aussiehst wie jede andere Coachin da draußen – du gibst dir Mühe, postest täglich, und trotzdem scrollen die Leute weiter, als wärst du unsichtbar. - Die Verkaufs-Blockade: Warum du dich beim Verkaufen komisch, übergriffig oder schleimig fühlst, egal wie du es anstellst, und woher dieser innere Widerstand wirklich kommt. - Die Todeszone im Content: Warum ausgerechnet deine besten Freunde, dein Partner und deine Familie dein Business bremsen – nicht die Fremden im Internet oder deine Konkurrenz. - Geerbtes Money-Mindset: Wie unbewusste Sätze aus deinem Elternhaus dich genau in dem Moment boykottieren, in dem endlich mehr Geld auf dein Konto fließen will. - Die Meisterdisziplin: Wie du trotz der lauten inneren Zweifel-Stimme („Das funktioniert nicht für mich!“) stur durchziehst, dokumentierst statt inszenierst und deinen Durchbruch erzwingst. Hör auf, dich in Analyse-Paralyse zu verlieren oder anderen Coaches hinterher zu eifern. Triff heute eine Entscheidung, schalte den Lärm stumm und baue dir ein unkopierbares Millionenbusiness nach deinen eigenen Regeln auf!
In dieser Folge von Bühne meets Business sprechen Irene Kurka und Saskia Worf über ein Thema, das viele Musiker:innen beschäftigt – aber viel zu selten offen diskutiert wird: Geld. Wie finde ich meinen Preis? Woran orientiere ich mich bei Honoraren und Gagen? Und wie gehe ich souverän in Verhandlungen, ohne mich unter Wert zu verkaufen? Wir beleuchten die Unterschiede zwischen Anstellung und freier Szene, sprechen über die Realität der Selbstständigkeit im Musikbereich und geben konkrete Impulse zur Preisfindung. Außerdem geht es um Honorarempfehlungen, typische Denkfehler beim Thema Geld und darum, wie du deine eigene Arbeit realistisch einschätzt und selbstbewusst vertrittst. Diese Folge ist für dich, wenn du: deine Gagen reflektieren und erhöhen möchtest sicherer in Preisverhandlungen werden willst mehr Klarheit über deinen finanziellen Wert als Musiker:in suchst Eine ehrliche, praxisnahe Folge über Geld, Sichtbarkeit und unternehmerisches Denken im Musikberuf.

The Consumers Price Index (CPI) has increased 4.1% in the 12 months to the June 2026 quarter, according to figures released by Stats NZ today. As expected, the increase can be partially contributed to the US-Iran war as the largest upwards contributor to the annual inflation rate was petrol, up 27.5%. Finance Minister Nicola Willis is labelling annual inflation hitting its highest level in more than two years a “Trump spike”. Former Reserve Bank senior economist Michael Reddell told Andrew Dickens that economists don't tend to look at the headline numbers but they will be digging through the numbers to find trends. "It's a bit like the famous line about democracy, you know, it's not a perfect system, it's just better than any of the alternatives that have been tried, and inflation targeting is a bit like that as well. It's definitely not perfect." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Learning & Development Podcast, David James is joined by Tracie Cantu to discuss her book Running L&D Like a Business. Tracie shares the L&D leadership experience that shaped her perspective and what compelled her to write the book. They explore what it truly means to run L&D like a business and why this mindset is so often missing, before diving into the Learning Operations Business Model and its four core components, and the three buckets of the Learning Operations Blueprint. Tracie unpacks the important distinction between the "customer" and the "consumer" of learning, explains what good governance looks like without it becoming bureaucracy, and makes the case for prioritising people and process before technology. Tracie also shares her advocacy for a go-to-market strategy for internal learning initiatives and closes with practical advice for listeners on where and how to begin applying these frameworks in their own organisations. Take your L&D to the next level Take advantage of thousands of hours of analysis. Hundreds of conversations with industry innovators and 25+ years of hands-on global L&D leadership. It's all distilled into one framework to help you level up L&D. Access the L&D Maturity Model here - https://360learning.com/maturity-model KEY TAKEAWAYS L&D's challenge isn't talent or effort, it´s a weak operating model - regardless of the industry. Treating L&D as a business function is what fixes this problem. Every initiative must tie clearly to helping the organisation make money, save money or reduce risk, while still delivering a fit‑for‑purpose learner experience. High‑impact programmes are launched, not just built apply go‑to‑market thinking, marketing assets and find champions to demonstrate the benefits so that your great work doesn't become shelfware. BEST MOMENTS "Our job is to help them make money, save money, and reduce risk - if we´re not, then it´s not aligned to the business goals." "Build it and they will come. That is bulls**t. They will not come....because we are not marketing it." "We should be anchoring every training we have to that high customer value." Tracie Cantu Bio Tracie Cantu, MHRM, CPTD is a recognised expert in learning operations and technology with more than two decades of experience leading and transforming enterprise L&D functions. Her career spans aviation, government, retail, and tech, including senior roles such as Director of Learning Technology at Whole Foods Market (Amazon), Head of Learning Ecosystems at Meta, and L&D leadership at Atlassian. Today she serves as CEO and Chief Learning Strategist at Your CLO, where she partners with CHROs, COOs, and senior L&D leaders to modernise learning operations, optimise technology ecosystems, and implement scalable processes that drive measurable business impact.

This week on the GovNavigators Show, Robert and Adam welcome Dana Fowler, member of the GovNavigators Network, to walk us through her career path and offer insights on government performance reform. Dana details her interesting start in the federal government as “basically a deckhand on a fishing boat,” before moving onto the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the CDC, the Performance Improvement Council within GSA, and the Department of the Interior, in a performance management field she never expected to be a part of. The show raises the importance of leveraging data for decision-making, measuring the right things for the right reasons, and the value of an outside perspective. Plus, Dana gives us a peek into her new projects that work on government reform from the outside, using the knowledge she's collected as a “practitioner” within.

In this episode, Jen talks about one of the biggest shifts that changed her business: stopping the side-hustle energy, stepping out of overwhelmed employee mode, and fully embodying the CEO identity. She shares how so many business owners say they want more money, better clients, stronger boundaries, and less chaos — but they are still operating with the same habits, same mindset, and same self-concept that kept them stuck in the first place.Jen explains why identity always shows up in business. How you see yourself affects what you charge, what you tolerate, how you follow up, how you handle conflict, and how confidently you show up online and in your process. If you still identify as the people pleaser, the overworker, the unsure beginner, or the scared small business owner, that version of you will keep showing up everywhere.This episode is all about the shift from employee to CEO — from reacting to leading, from hoping to deciding, from external validation to internal certainty. Jen also talks about why the next-level version of you probably does less, not more, and why identity is built through repeated proof: one confident response, one boundary, one brave post, one better decision at a time.In this episode, Jen talks about:Why acting like your business is a side hustle keeps you stuckHow identity shows up in every part of your businessThe difference between employee energy and CEO energyWhy your next-level business requires a next-level version of youWhy stronger boundaries, clearer offers, and more intention matterWhy you do not need outside validation to feel successfulHow to stop romanticizing the old version of yourselfWhy asking “who do I need to become?” is more powerful than asking “what should I do?”How repeated actions build a new identity over timeHow the Floral CEO Mastermind helps florists become the next-level CEO in their businessKey takeawayYou cannot build a next-level business with old-level habits.The identity shift that changes everything is when you stop acting like the overwhelmed employee in your business and start acting like the intentional CEO.Mentioned in this episodeThe Floral CEO Mastermindhttp://floralceo.com/mastermind

#374 | Most B2B marketers think brand means bigger budgets. This episode shows otherwise. Dave sits down with Ryan Narod, VP of Marketing at Rippling, to talk about what it actually takes to build a brand people recognize in B2B.

From airports to cricket broadcasts, India's family conglomerates keep turning up everywhere. According to the 2024 Barclays-Hurun report, one family's wealth alone equals nearly one-tenth of everything India produces in a year. India is running a version of the economic playbook that South Korea and Indonesia once ran — protect your conglomerates and let them do the building.South Korea came through it, at enormous political and economic cost. Indonesia's economy contracted by 13% in a single year.India is somewhere earlier in that story.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Oil climbed to the highest level in more than a month and bonds fell as US and Iranian attacks escalated, renewing inflation concerns. Stocks stabilized after a technology-led selloff rattled markets last week. Treasury 10-year futures slipped 7/32, with trading in the cash market shut during Asian hours Monday because of a holiday in Japan. Government bonds in Australia and New Zealand also declined on concern that higher oil prices will stoke inflation. Equities were mixed. Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.2% after Friday’s selloff, as Moonshot AI told investors it plans to go public within six months after its latest model challenged perceptions of US leadership in artificial intelligence. MSCI’s Asia Pacific equity index was little changed, while South Korea’s Kospi index fell 2.8% as traders returned following a holiday on Friday. For a look at the markets, Bloomberg TV Host Avril Hong spoke to Homin Lee, Senior Macro Strategist at Lombard Odier.

Job hopping: Career suicide or a way to learn what works for you? Synopsis: Every first and third Monday of the month, get a head start in your personal finance, career and life with The Straits Times. In this episode, Annabel Lim, Business & Reputation Director at communications firm We. Communications shares how she built her career by cycling through 7 full-time jobs. She talks about how each change gave her a different perspective or skill that cumulated in her current role, and why “job-hopping” isn't necessarily a red flag in CVs. Hosts Kai Wen and Sue-Ann, who have worked in two jobs and one job respectively, also discussed how long a person should hold their job before making a switch and how to tell when a role no longer works for you.

Nicola Willis told us she did not take the decision lightly, and well, she might have said that. She's lucky it's only cost $60 million. We still don't know the terms, but we need to. This is Golden Bay Cement, and the Government has come to their rescue. Without this help, allegedly, they would have closed. There is only one supplier in the country – this in and of itself would seem to be an issue. They produce 60% of what we use. Is the other 40% cheaper? And what of the climate mitigation issues Fletchers speak of? Why do we worry about the 60% and not the other 40%? Why is climate so important in the cement business, and is climate worth worrying about if it means the closure of business and the loss of jobs? That is one of the questions of the age, especially given the Europeans over the weekend signalled their intentions to pull back on climate expectation for businesses for exactly the same reasons. Climate versus jobs? We quite like the work, thanks. Fletcher Building is the owner and a company with no shortage of drama around their reputation and activities, but not a business desperate, you wouldn't have thought, for $60 million. But, and here is the crunchy bit, they're a company that in straightened times is perfectly entitled to pull the pin on things that aren't working. So, a good business decision, or blackmail? Is the business run as they claim? In other words, it's not workable, or are they a bit useless? Britain is having the same conversation currently over a nationalised steelworks involving the Chinese and a water company that's on its knees. The trouble is the specifics and the precedent. Every story is unique. Can a government write a cheque for one-offs? Maybe. Does it set a potential precedent? Yes. Should the Government be in cement? No. Should we be more resilient in the basics of things like building materials? Yes. We have just had that debate by cleaning out an old tank at Marsden. Resilience is important. So I don't mind this as a one off. But is it a bad business or is it a business hampered by dumb rules around climate? And if it's the latter, would a change of rules fix the problem better than a bailout cheque would? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cambridge cancer geneticist Dr. Moritz Przybilla of the Wellcome Sanger Institute joins the podcast to unpack the hidden science of somatic evolution — how our clinically healthy tissues quietly accumulate mutations, and even cancer-driver clones, as a normal part of ageing. Using ultra-accurate single-molecule DNA sequencing, his work reads this "clonal landscape" cell by cell — from the lasting genomic scars tobacco leaves in the lung to non-invasive ways of measuring cancer risk long before a tumour appears. Along the way, he offers a blunt, evidence-based take on popular biohacking trends like fasting-mimicking diets and sulforaphane, and why the wellness industry so often misreads (or overstates) clinical-trial evidence. Finally, Dr. Przybilla lays out the lifestyle factors that genuinely move the needle — tobacco, chronic infections, alcohol, obesity and UV exposure — and makes the case for shifting from blanket fear to proactive, risk-stratified early detection.-MORE FROM MORITZ:https://www.instagram.com/dr.moritzprzy/ (Instagram)https://www.linkedin.com/in/moritz-jakob-przybilla/ (LinkedIn)https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.moritzprzy (TikTok)https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uUN6YGnMUWqY7HZZBZKTbXNPy-V8MkmB/view?usp=drive_link (German Prevention Checklisthttps://drive.google.com/file/d/15xKrhSIQHxjvhTaHOcsgDnm3wfnR_D9U/view?usp=drive_link (German Genetics Infosheet)-MY BOOK IS NOW OUT AND AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW:https://axelschura.com/maybe-MY WEBSITE:https://axelschura.com/ -BOOK YOUR FREE CALL WITH US NOW AND JOIN AXEL SCHURA ACADEMY (Mention "PODCAST" when signing up to get your bonuses!):https://calendly.com/d/cnnv-vzs-wbg/evergreen-blueprint-axel-schura-academy-JOIN OUR NEXT FIRE WITHIN RETREAT AND MENTION "PODCAST" WHEN SIGNING UP TO GET A SPECIAL DEAL:https://calendly.com/d/cyfh-x92-gb4/axel-schura-retreat-2026-COACHING AND COMMUNITY:× 30 days FREE membership - change your life with my visualisation and meditation practices (new customers only):https://axelschura.com/membership/× Free Webinar on easily scaling your Business to 10.000$ per Month:https://event.webinarjam.com/4ywv5/register/1ypn4cz-SOCIALS:× Podcast Instagram: https://instagram.com/theaxelschurashow× My Instagram: https://instagram.com/axelschura× You can find me and my content on all social media platforms, just follow this Linktree: https://linktr.ee/axelschura-SOURCES MENTIONED:1 (Life expectancy decline in the US): https://www.unc.edu/discover/u-s-life-expectancy-drop-caused-by-more-than-pandemic/2 (Burkitt leukemia vs. Burkitt lymphoma): ashpublications.org/blood/article/104/10/3009/18728/Adult-Burkitt-leukemia-and-lymphoma3 (Uv protection from car windows): https://healthcare.utah.edu/healthfeed/2025/05/car-windows-wont-protect-you-uv-rays4 (Cosmic radiation on flights): https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9723364/5 (Germany vs. UK weather): https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/uk/london/climate & https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/germany/berlin/climate-00:00 Intro: The main 4 lifestyle factors causing cancer01:00 Why early cancer detection changes everything03:30 What made Moritz become a cancer researcher08:10 Broccoli sprouts, sulforaphane & cancer prevention15:20 The biggest preventable causes of cancer30:40 Why most people change only after a health scare40:30 Will AI ever cure cancer?56:20 Sunscreen, UV exposure & skincare myths1:12:00 The future of cancer screening

Marc Ferrentino, Co-Founder and CEO of Quotient and former chief technical architect at Salesforce, joins Sam Jacobs and Asad Zaman to separate AI-marketing hype from what actually works today. Marc's core claim: the 'AI CMO' is marketing fiction, and the real near-term unlock is clearing the roughly 70% of a marketer's day lost to busywork, so smaller teams can finally operate like big ones. Topics include the collapse of specialized marketing roles into cross-functional generalists, why the apprenticeship model that trained classic marketers is most at risk, where the durable edge moves as performance marketing gets automated... and how taste separates real work from AI slop. Plus, a Quiz Pro Quo trivia round on famous tech emails, an honest look at ageism facing marketers in their 40s and 50s, and a Bulls and Bears debate on legacy martech, HubSpot, and Figma. Key Takeaways: - Marc's near-term promise to marketers is not an AI CMO but the removal of busywork. As he puts it: "companies that come out and claim to be your AI CMO… I think that is the most misleading marketing, but it's also just not true." Buckle up for a story or two about how he's seen the "AI CMO" blow up in people's faces. - The hiring bar is shifting from raw craft to AI fluency. In Marc's words: "we're all looking for the 10x developer, but the 10x developer who knows how to use AI is a 100x developer. And so it's the same thing with the marketer… the marketer who knows how to use AI is a 100x marketer… That's the person we want on the team." And he shares how his own developer interviews changed to match. - Marketing roles are not disappearing, but the specialist ladder that trained seasoned marketers is eroding. As Sam Jacobs, CEO of Pavilion, put it: "I see the collapse of specialization within a particular function. That doesn't diminish the need for the function, but does create an opportunity for those that are more fluent in all of these cross-functional tools." His deeper worry is the pipeline: "the apprenticeship model is the thing that's most at risk," raising the prospect of "a lack of classically trained marketers." - Ageism is real in marketing hiring, and it often hides inside neutral-sounding language. Asad Zaman, CEO of STA, observed, clients are saying things like: "I'm looking for somebody with high energy. High energy is like, I need somebody who is 30 to 33… high energy is like an age, basically." To what extent do the hosts agree with this perspective? Only one way to find out...

On this episode of Business of the Beat, Kendra Bracken-Ferguson sits down with Shena Moreau for a powerful conversation about the connection between entrepreneurship, emotional well-being, and holistic healing. Together, they explore how unresolved trauma can influence both our personal lives and business decisions, and why true success begins with self-awareness.

From breathwork and somatic healing to learning how to listen to your body's signals, she explains why healing isn't just personal—it's a leadership strategy. The conversation also explores the unique challenges founders face, including the pressure to stay in control, the importance of intentional rest, and how reconnecting with your emotions can unlock greater creativity, resilience, and purpose. Shena also introduces her new **Embody CEO** program, designed to help entrepreneurs lead from a place of wholeness by embracing a holistic approach to business and life.
