Welcome to Without Borders, the podcast from Tyto. As the only PR and communications agency built to scale high-growth technology companies faster across Europe, we know that communicating effectively in this region is rarely as simple as it seems. Every market has its own dynamics, expectations and cultural nuances, and even the biggest, most established global brands can find Europe a challenging place to build visibility and sustain momentum at scale. This podcast explores those challenges and offers practical insight for ambitious PR and comms teams. Across our different series, we look at what it really takes to drive an effective PR programme across Europe - from the lessons founders learn as they enter markets, to the way journalists and influencers shape the narrative, to the policy shifts that influence how technology is understood and regulated. Our latest series, Policy Matters, examines the evolving relationship between policy, media and communications. It's designed to give PR leaders a clearer view of how these forces interact, how political conversations take shape, and how organisations can engage thoughtfully and credibly in a landscape where the pace is accelerating and the stakes are rising. In this episode, we're joined by Diego Duchi, Fellow at the Oxford China Policy Lab and Associate Director at the Institute for AI Policy and Strategy. Previously, Diego spent more than a decade in central government, including as Head of AI Policy at HM Treasury, and also served as a Senior Advisor to Indonesia's G20 Presidency.  Diego discusses how technology policy is developed inside government, why evidence and stakeholder engagement are central to the policymaking process, and how technology companies can engage more effectively with policymakers. He also explains why understanding the priorities of different government departments is often just as important as engaging with those responsible for technology policy.  The conversation explores the role of media, think tanks and industry bodies in shaping policy debates, how governments learn from developments in other markets, and why building trusted relationships with policymakers over time can be more valuable than engaging only when decisions are being made.  For more episodes of Without Borders, visit our YouTube channel, and don't forget to subscribe on your preferred podcast platform to stay up to date. 

Have you ever looked at someone and quietly wondered, could God really reach them? Welcome to the Authentic Life Fellowship Podcast. I'm Pastor Jimmy, and today's message, 'The Gospel Has No Borders, reminds us that God's grace stretches way beyond our expectations. If you've ever wondered whether someone is beyond God's reach, or if His grace could really be enough for you, this is for you. So grab your Bible, open your heart, and let's dig in.

What if God is preparing something in your life that you can't see yet? Sometimes we think God is silent, when in reality He is working behind the scenes. Before He opens a door, He often prepares a heart. Before He changes our circumstances, He changes us. This message from Acts 10:1-23 is entitled: When God Changes Your Heart Discover how God prepared Cornelius, Peter, and a divine appointment that forever changed the course of the church. Along the way, you'll be challenged to ask: ❤️ Is my heart seeking God? ❤️ Is my heart surrendered to God's leading? ❤️ Am I ready for the next thing God wants to do in my life? You may be closer to your next God-given opportunity than you realize.

Basketball is no longer just an American game. It is a global business, a cultural force and a powerful case study in how leadership, talent development and brand growth can move across borders. On this episode of Brand Slam, hosts Steve Rosa and Joe Kayata chat with Ryan Richman live from Tokyo. Richman is head coach of Alvark Tokyo, assistant coach for the Japan Men's National Team and a former assistant coach with the Washington Wizards. With experience across the NBA, international basketball and player development, Richman brings a unique perspective on how the game is growing around the world and what leaders can learn from the way elite teams are built. The conversation explores Richman's coaching journey from the NBA to Japan, what championship cultures have in common and why chemistry, accountability and trust often separate good teams from great ones. He also shares what Americans may still underestimate about basketball's rise throughout Asia, including the impact of players like Rui Hachimura and the growing influence of the game in Japan. For marketers and brand leaders, the episode offers a broader lesson in multicultural connection, leadership and continuous improvement. Richman discusses how the Japanese principle of kaizen, the philosophy Toyota lives by as owner of Alvark Tokyo, has shaped his approach to coaching, development and team building. At its core, this is a conversation about more than basketball. It is about how global brands, leaders and organizations grow by understanding culture, building trust and committing to the long game.

On this week’s episode of the Disaster Podcast, we chat with Dr. Tehnaz Boyle. Dr. Boyle is a pediatric emergency physician and a scientist who studies how to use technology to bring expert care to disaster situations remotely. She works with Health Tech Without Borders who we talked about three years ago on the show related to their work during the early days of the Ukraine war. Previous Disaster Podcast Episode on Health Tech Without Borders Health Tech Without Borders is a global non-profit organization aiming to mitigate healthcare crises by leveraging digital tools and technology to provide immediate access to health resources. They work in disaster and war torn areas of the world to bring medical and health expertise. ASPR Telemedicine Program Site The episode was co-hosted by Sam Bradley and Jamie Davis and they were joined by Disaster Emergency Management expert Becky DePodwin. Scroll down for Podcast Discussion Summary Thank you as always to Paragon Medical Education Group for their long-term support of the Disaster Podcast. Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well. Podcast Discussion Summary Global Earthquake Response Discussion The team discussed recent earthquake events, including a 7.2 magnitude earthquake followed by a 7.5 magnitude earthquake in Venezuela, along with additional earthquakes in Northern California and Japan. Becky explained that the back-to-back high-magnitude quakes in Venezuela would likely worsen the already devastating impact, with many older structures built in the 1950s and 1960s failing to meet modern earthquake safety standards. The discussion highlighted that USAID’s traditional role in international disaster response is no longer available, creating a gap in global disaster relief efforts. The team planned to have a more detailed discussion about the Venezuela situation in next week’s episode, including updates on response efforts from organizations like Med Global and Health Tech Without Borders. Health Tech Without Borders Overview Tehnaz, an associate professor and pediatric emergency medicine physician at Boston Medical Center, explained Health Tech Without Borders, a nonprofit that uses digital tools to provide access to medical care during humanitarian emergencies. She described their work in Ukraine, where they partnered with local providers and international clinicians to deliver telehealth services to displaced populations. Tehnaz also discussed the organization’s role as an innovative hub connecting companies with medical experts, and highlighted the potential for AI and satellite communications to enhance their capabilities in providing remote care. Telehealth Applications and Remote Monitoring Tehnaz explained various telehealth applications including digital consultations, remote patient monitoring, and digital therapeutics, using examples from Ukraine and burn care centers in the US. She described how remote monitoring could allow patients to receive care at home instead of in long-term facilities, particularly benefiting those in healthcare deserts and rural areas. When asked about connected medical equipment, Tehnaz noted that while many devices can connect to networks, not all collected data is necessarily helpful or interpretable, requiring research to determine useful signals from noise. Telehealth in Crisis Response Tehnaz discussed Health Tech Without Borders’ work in providing telehealth services and training for clinicians in crisis areas, including Ukraine. She explained the challenges of licensing and governance barriers for remote clinicians, particularly across different jurisdictions. Tehnaz highlighted ongoing research into streamlining these barriers and developing AI tools to enhance telehealth capabilities, including potential applications for pediatric patients. The group expressed interest in having Tehnaz and Jerone return for future discussions about disaster response and telemedicine deployment. Wrap up and updates The team went through contact information and the team encouraged listeners to stay safe. The group discussed the role of specialized training, with Jamie highlighting the sponsorship of the Disaster Podcast by Paragon Medical Education Group.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Akin Kadioglu, cofounder of Bondi Finance, to unpack the wild world of tokenized corporate bonds and what it actually takes to bring traditional finance onto the blockchain. They trace the regulatory maze from Bermuda's segregated accounts structure to the global competition between nation states racing to build the best tokenization frameworks, then widen the lens to cover the Genius Act and stablecoin politics, why America's biggest companies have stopped going public, the techno feudalism reshaping Silicon Valley, China's strategy of copying and scaling rather than innovating, and a deep dive into emerging market bonds, default risk, and why countries like Turkey, Mexico, and Indonesia might be more investable than people assume. Find Akin on Twitter at @kadiogluakin, and check out his work at Bondi Finance, bondifinance.io.Timestamps00:00 Tokenization of corporate bonds and Bermuda's regulatory structure05:00 Global tokenization frameworks and the Genius Act's impact on stablecoins10:00 Anthropic's secondary markets, private capital, and why big companies avoid IPOs15:00 Techno feudalism, Silicon Valley's clergy class, and China's distillation strategy20:00 RISC-V, open source robotics, and the AI monopoly risk25:00 American gridlock, constitutional spirit, and crypto as freedom from centralization30:00 Argentina's 2001 default, dollar pegging, and Milei's deficit cuts35:00 Carry trades, US treasury rates, and inflation in emerging economies40:00 Sovereign versus corporate bonds and tokenization's $38 trillion opportunity45:00 Investment grade versus junk bonds and zero default risk explained50:00 Bond credit ratings, Yankee and Samurai bonds, and top emerging market picksKey InsightsTokenization's biggest obstacle isn't technology, it's sovereignty. Akin argues that nation states resist giving tokenized assets the same ownership rights as traditional securities because they're hesitant to cede authority to neutral blockchains, even when the underlying infrastructure already works.The Genius Act protected banks more than it empowered crypto. By separating yield bearing stablecoins from non yield bearing ones, regulators effectively let banks keep customers from earning interest outside traditional savings accounts, a quiet but consequential win for legacy finance.America's biggest companies are opting out of public markets. Stripe, Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX have stayed private far longer than past generations of breakout companies, raising real questions about whether venture capital has replaced the public markets that once defined American finance.Silicon Valley's elite increasingly resemble a modern clergy. Akin frames the founders and labs that gatekeep advanced AI knowledge as inheritors of a medieval power structure, where access to "secret knowledge" converts directly into capital and influence over everyone else.China wins by scaling, not innovating. Rather than leading at the frontier, China consistently lets American labs take the first step, then copies and mass produces at a fraction of the cost, a strategy Akin sees playing out in everything from manufacturing to AI models.Not all bonds carry the same kind of risk. Akin draws a sharp distinction between bonds with zero tail risk, like US treasuries denominated in their own currency, and corporate or foreign currency sovereign bonds, where default is always possible no matter how strong the issuer looks.Emerging market ratings can be misleading. A BB rated company in an emerging market may have a lower default rate than a BBB rated US company, since emerging market firms typically need far more financial maturity just to access public bond markets in the first place.

We sit down with Dr. Santino Severoni, the World Health Organization's Head of Health and Migration, to explore an often-overlooked intersection of global health crises: dementia care among refugee populations. Dr. Severoni brings his extensive expertise to illuminate the unique challenges faced by refugees and migrants living with dementia—from language barriers and cultural stigma to the trauma of displacement compounding cognitive decline. We discuss how forced migration disrupts traditional family care structures, the difficulties of diagnosis in transient populations, and the critical gaps in healthcare systems that leave vulnerable elderly refugees and migrants without adequate support. This conversation challenges us to think beyond borders about dignity, care, and our collective responsibility to the world's most vulnerable populations.

The borders between countries aren't the only ones that healthcare data needs to travel across. The same principles behind the European Health Data Space can be applied to supporting people's physical and mental health in their everyday lives: at school, at work, in community spaces, and in sports clubs. In Episode 5, the final part of “HIMSSCast Presents: Healthcare Without Borders,” HIMSS' Tom Leary and Health Connect Partners' Dr. Petra Wilson ask important questions about how data and AI-powered tools can help European citizens actively engage in their health and wellness journeys. 

Teisho by Sensei Dhara Kowal.  Automated Transcript The post Self Without Borders appeared first on Rochester Zen Center.

Regulatory frameworks create a solid foundation, but cross-border healthcare can't succeed without trust. Patients need to trust that their data is being used responsibly, that their provider is properly qualified, and that any AI tools used are free from bias and error.

The European Health Data Space aims to enable health data to move seamlessly and securely across Europe. However, the processes required to achieve this are complex, involving cultural, linguistic, diagnostic, regulatory, and coding elements. HIMSS' Tom Leary and Health Connect Partners' Dr. Petra Wilson explore what it will take to achieve true pan-European interoperability that goes beyond the floor of legal requirements, in Episode 3 of “HIMSSCast Presents: Healthcare Without Borders.”

In Episode 2 of “HIMSSCast Presents: Healthcare Without Borders,” HIMSS' Tom Leary and Health Connect Partners' Dr. Petra Wilson talk about Europe's 30-year journey to enabling cross-border care and how the European Health Data Space aims to align EU member states around a single European Electronic Health Record Exchange Format.

I met Penelope Barton and Brittanie Bates the way you meet the most interesting people: in a coffee line. It was South by Southwest EDU (SXSWEDU), and within minutes, I knew these weren't typical school administrators. They were builders — the kind of quietly revolutionary leaders who don't wait for the system to change but build something new alongside it.Barton is the CEO of Crimson Global Academy (CGA), and Bates is its Senior Vice President. CGA is a fully online, international high school serving nearly 3,000 students from 72 countries — and it's growing fast. But here's what makes it worth your attention: it's not an "online school" in the way that phrase tends to make parents nervously clear their throats. It's something genuinely new.Join us for this insightful conversation about the future of education. 

Formal cross-border care in Europe accounts for less than 1% of health spending, but that number doesn't tell the whole story. For some 150 million European patients living near internal borders, the nearest care, the shortest wait, or the best specialist for their situation, may be in another country. Join HIMSS' Tom Leary and Health Connect Partners' Dr. Petra Wilson for Episode 1 of “HIMSSCast Presents: Healthcare Without Borders” as they discuss how AI and virtual care are accelerating healthcare's shift from a location-bound to a borderless activity.

Dr. Aws Faidy, a general dentist from northern Iraq, discusses his work providing oral health care and education to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs), refugees, and internally displaced persons (IDPs). Dr. Faidy explains how he conducts community-based dental awareness campaigns, hands-on checkups, and follow-up care—often in refugee camps—while emphasizing patience, trust-building, and adaptive techniques when treating patients with IDDs. He describes large-scale projects that combine education, preventive treatments like fluoride varnish, and free referrals for advanced care, reaching over 1,200 children with measurable improvements in oral health awareness. The conversation highlights systemic challenges in access to dental care for vulnerable populations, contrasts practices in Iraq with those in the United States, and underscores the importance of empathy, ethical responsibility, and global collaboration to improve oral health equity.

Hey Voices from the Bench community! Jessica Love here, sending a shoutout from Utah! If you're passionate about creating natural, beautiful smiles—but want to simplify your workflow without sacrificing aesthetics—this is for you. I'm honored to be part of Ivoclar's development team introducing a powerful new stain and glaze system featuring Structure Paste, IPS e.max Ceram Art. Create stunning depth and lifelike color in as little as one firing. Let's continue to innovate, simplify, and create meaningful change—one smile at a time. Alright, Voices From the Bench listeners—We're coming to you live from Dallas at DLAT, and we had to grab a quick pop-in from the floor. That's right—because when you're walking a show this big, you never know who you're going to run into… and sure enough, we caught up with Jordan Greenberg—yeah, the HyperDent guy. No booth this time, just cruising the floor, connecting with partners, supporting dealers, and checking in with labs looking to level up their workflows. And get this—he's not just talking theory. We're talking fully automated solutions for preform abutments… no human nesting. That's right—automation that knows your blank size, optimizes your workflow, and keeps production moving without missing a beat. It's the kind of innovation that's pushing labs forward—faster, smarter, and more efficient. So if you're at DLAT, keep your eyes open… because the future of CAM might just be walking right past you. This week, we catch up with the always entertaining and wildly unconventional Seth Potter—live from Paraguay. From sailing the world with his family to building a thriving remote design business, Seth shares a story that's anything but typical. What starts as a conversation about exocad Insights quickly turns into a deep dive into faith, freedom, digital dentistry, and what it really takes to create a life on your own terms. Seth walks us through his unique upbringing—growing up with a missionary dentist father, assisting on dental trips in the Dominican Republic, and spending his teenage years living on a sailboat. That early exposure to dentistry (and adventure) eventually led him into dental technology, where he combined analog fundamentals with a self-taught digital workflow to become a leader in remote design. We also get into the evolution of his career—from working in a small lab and helping implement digital systems, to launching one of the first remote CAD design businesses in Canada. Seth shares how he hustled for his first clients (hint: it involves Indeed and a clever pitch), scaled through efficiency, and ultimately hit a breaking point that forced him to rethink balance, burnout, and what success actually looks like. Now splitting his time between Canada and Paraguay, Seth has built a lifestyle that many dream about—while still pushing the limits of productivity, workflow systems, and digital education with exocad. If you've ever thought about going remote, improving your efficiency, or just wondered what's possible in this industry… this one's for you. Join us at exocad Insights 2026, happening April 30–May 1, 2026, on the stunning island of Mallorca, Spain.

In this special Reporter's Notebook, Maria Varmazis⁠⁠⁠⁠, host here at N2K CyberWire, takes listeners behind the scenes of our three-part series on Cyber Coalition 2025 in Tallinn, Estonia. After exploring real-time incident response, cross-border coordination, and the broader stakes of collective cyber defense, this episode offers a more personal, behind-the-scenes look at how the reporting came together. Hosted by the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defense Centre of Excellence, the exercise brought together allied military, government, and industry teams inside NATO's secure cyber range. Here, Maria reflects on moments that didn't make the final cut — the atmosphere inside the facilities, the pace of covering a live exercise, and the small, human details that added texture to the larger story. If you haven't yet, be sure to listen to all three episodes of the series to hear the full story from the ground at Cyber Coalition 2025. Episode one can be found ⁠⁠here⁠⁠.

In the final installment of our three-part series on ⁠Cyber Coalition 2025⁠⁠, ⁠⁠Maria Varmazis⁠⁠⁠, host here at N2K CyberWire, and ⁠⁠⁠Liz Stokes, CyberWire Producer, step back from the cyber range to reflect on what their time in Tallinn really meant. This episode moves beyond the mechanics of the exercise and into the broader stakes of collective cyber defense in an increasingly uncertain geopolitical moment. Recorded two months after their visit, the conversation blends field tape and personal reflections — from standing outside the Russian Embassy in Old Town to recalling the weight inside NATO's secure facilities. Estonia's history, including the 2007 cyberattacks, and its visible solidarity with Ukraine underscore just how real and proximate the risks remain.
