Business Brokers & M&A Advisors - Guest Spots - Lighthouse Sessions

May I ask for your help with something, please? I am curating a special guest series for experts shaping the future of business brokerage and lower middle market deal-making. To do that, I am opening up guest spots for The Lighthouse Sessions Podcast. This season, I’m looking to feature more voices from the business brokerage and M&A world — especially experts with practical insights that help people navigate growth, transition, deal readiness, and value creation. If you serve the business broker community — consultants, lenders, M&A attorneys, valuation experts, quality of earnings professionals, exit planners, buyer advisors, deal technology providers, and other specialists who help brokers win and close better deals — I’d love to feature you in a special series inside The Lighthouse Sessions. My goal is to share real-world insight, elevate smart voices in the market, and create conversations that actually help owners, advisors, and deal professionals make better decisions. If that sounds like your world — or you know someone who would be a great fit — I’d love to hear from you. Complete our intake and scheduling form here to be a guest: https://lnkd.in/gGfESFCW #BusinessBroker #ExitPlanning #BusinessValuation #Dealmakers #LowerMiddleMarket #TheLighthouseSessions PS If your work is more focused on helping business owners build stronger companies and achieve higher valuations, you belong on the main stage of the show and are always welcome!

New York Creators - Open-Source Repair & Hacks Exhibition

I am currently organizing an exhibition in New York, and while the energy here is unmatched, the friction of creating is honestly exhausting. I’m finding myself incredibly frustrated by the "closed-door" nature of design in this city. If you want to open-source a component, repair a complex installation, or simply swap out a part for a creator-led project, you’re met with a wall of proprietary locks, expensive licenses, and "authorized-only" repair labels. It feels like the antithesis of everything I believe in. The Open-Source culture: From India and Japan My perspective is deeply rooted in the environments that built me. In India, we don’t just use Jugaad because we have to; we use it because it’s a form of decentralized, open-source intelligence. Information and repair skills aren't locked behind a paywall—they are shared in the streets. Then there’s Japan. During my communication design residency seven years ago, I saw a different kind of "open". It was a culture where craft and technology weren't seen as separate entities, but as a shared heritage. Whether it’s a traditional joinery technique or a community-led tech project, the focus is on longevity and the ability to maintain the "vessel" yourself. Why New York Needs to "Unlearn" In New York, the "ritual of the expensive" is everywhere. We’ve been forced into a reality where we are seasoning our dinner with microplastics because it’s "easier" than fixing the system. But as a creator, I refuse to accept that my installations at teamLab or my personal projects should be black boxes. The Frustration: Why is it so hard to access the "code" of our physical environment? The Goal: My upcoming exhibition is a call for Open-Source Sovereignty. The Vision: I want to apply the "Cradle-to-Cradle" logic I learned from Himalayan waste collectors to the way we build tech in the city. We need to stop designing things that are meant to be thrown away when a single sensor fails. If we want to truly decentralize design, we have to make the tools of creation—and repair—accessible to everyone. Are you a creator in NY struggling with "closed" systems? I want to feature your work or your "hacks" in my upcoming show. Let’s talk.

AEC Engineers & Founders - Building AI Tools & Workflows

I've recorded over 100 podcast episodes on the AEC AI & Tech Strategy Podcast via the Engineering Management Institute (link in the comments). And the thing I still underestimate is how much I learn from the guests. Tomorrow I'm recording a double header with Owen Keenan, director of Asset Engineers in Australia. First I'm going on his show, Structural Intelligence, and then he's coming on our newest show - #CrackedEngineering - right after. Two episodes, back to back, one conversation that keeps going. It's funny. I started the podcast thinking I'd teach people about technology. Three years in, I realize the best episodes are the ones where the guest teaches me something I didn't know I needed to learn. A few people who've done that recently: Kenneth Shultz, PE is building Claude plugins for his MEP firm. Live. In public. Sharing the skills list, the workflows, the actual code. That's rare in this industry. KP Reddy just launched Zero RFI with backing from General Catalyst. Building an AI platform for construction. His journey from advisor to founder to investor to founder again is one of the most interesting arcs in AEC tech. If you're building something at the intersection of engineering and technology, I want to hear about it. Not because I have all the answers. Because the best content comes from the best conversations. PS: I also have a giant lemonade cup from a county fair that's completely blocking my face lol

WWII Pilots & Mechanics in Middle East - Postwar Aircraft Fate

The fate of World War II aircraft in the postwar Middle East Roosevelt Field, early 1948 \(generated image\) Ever wonder what happened to those tens of thousands of aircraft after World War II? While many went to scrapyards, a number found their way to emerging conflicts in the Middle East. It was a heady time for aviation, with the War having brought about a quantum leap in aerospace technology. Launching an airline back then no doubt felt like a tech startup in our times: scrappy and unpredictable. The Arab/Jewish conflict over Mandatory Palestine intersected with this era of aviation. Air power had defeated the Axis Powers, and as would-be combatants sized up their options, they knew they were going to need aircraft, along with people and organizations to get them airworthy. Into this turmoil stepped a diverse set of players: from disillusioned pilots looking for a cause, to idealists looking to make a difference. I've been working on a story about these times and these people, trying to find nuance, balance, and amazing stories about legendary aircraft. Always looking for more about the fate of airplanes after the War, and the people who maintained and flew them. Find me here.

Data-Driven Running Coaches - Team-of-One Marathon Nutrition

When you spend your day in technology, you realize the human body is just the ultimate "un-optimized" operating system. I’ve spent years analyzing systems, teams, and spotting inefficiencies. But when I started my running journey, I was shocked. The advice out there? It's information overload, it's outdated, it's generic, and it’s filled with "bro-science" that treats us all like averages. As a runner with a technology background, I’m tired of seeing intelligent athletes follow a PDF plan they found online, hit the wall at mile 20, and wonder why their GI system failed. This isn't about "Top 5 Tips." It’s a call to arms for the Self-Directed Athlete. I want to equip the "Team of One" with the science-backed, data-driven frameworks they need to stop guessing and start taking precision action. That's the driver behind the new series on the What Runs a Run podcast: "Coaching & Nutrition in 26.2" focused on team of one. If you have not already, check out the first conversation with coach Greg McMillan diving deep on "experiment of one". Link to the pod episode in comment. We are going to dive deep into the entire operating system: ⚙️ Precision Nutrition: We’re moving past "carbs-per-hour" to talk about individualized glucose responses and gut-training mechanics. 💤 The 22-Hour Athlete: Exploring the hormonal cost of sleep debt, HRV variability, and environmental impact on performance. 🔬 Myth-Busting: Dismantling the outdated coaching "rules" that lead to burnout and injury, focusing instead on N=1 (personalization over generalization). If you are an innovator, practitioner, expert or know someone who are actively pushing the boundaries of individualization, I want to hear about the data you’re analyzing, the nuance you’re discovering, and how you’re making high-level science work for the unique biology of the individual runner. Drop a comment below, or send me a DM. Let's connect. #WhatRunsARun #ExperimentOfOne #DataDrivenRunning #MarathonScience #PrecisionNutrition #HumanPerformance

Cyber Policy Experts on Australian Hospital Cyberattack Response

Hospitals across Australia are on alert after an Iranian cyber militia linked to the Islamic Republic hacked a global medical equipment supplier. The group Handala has claimed responsibility for the attack on US medical technology giant Stryker, which supplies equipment used in Australian hospitals. There's been no disruption here so far but cybersecurity experts warn the incident could be the first attack in a broader wave of cyber activity, as tensions escalate in the Middle East. Analysts say attacks on US companies can quickly ripple into allied economies like Australia — particularly in sectors such as healthcare, energy, banking and finance. Thanks to Justin Henderson, Matt O'Kane and Christopher McNaughton for their insights. If you work in cybersecurity, national security or government cyber policy and have insight into how organisations are preparing for incidents like this, reach out.

Independent Musicians on New Tech for Fairer Streaming Payouts

Independent musicians: How could new tech help create fairer streaming payouts? Hey all, I’ve been thinking a lot about how indie artists are compensated on major streaming platforms. Even musicians with thousands of streams often earn very little, which makes it tough to sustain a career without relying on live shows or merch. At the same time, technology is creating opportunities we haven’t had before. With cloud infrastructure and AI-assisted tools, it’s easier than ever to build scalable, artist-friendly platforms without massive budgets. I’d love to hear from the community about the following: How have streaming platforms impacted your income or reach as an independent musician. Is user centric payout an ideal solution? i. e. Customer subscribes to the service and listen to Artist A (50% of the time) and B (remaining 50%) only. Customer's subscription payment gets split equally among artist A and B as their payout. Platform itself is a non-profit.

Adam of Is Anything Real is “looking for guests who can speak honestly about what’s real vs. hype in business, leadership, technology, or entrepreneurship. Great guests tend to be: • Coaches, doctors, and high-impact leaders • Startup founders or operators building something meaningful • Experts challenging conventional wisdom in their industry • Leaders navigating real-world complexity (growth, leadership, AI, media, culture, etc.) • People with strong perspectives backed by real experience, not theory The best conversations come from people willing to go beyond polished talking points and talk about what actually happens behind the scenes. Topics often include: • Marketing reality vs platform hype • AI, media, and the future of work • Building sustainable businesses • Leadership under pressure • Founder journeys and the lessons that come from things not working If someone has hard-earned insight and a willingness to challenge narratives, they’re probably a great fit. A few things that help the show work well: • I prioritize substance over promotion; the best episodes are thoughtful conversations, not sales pitches. • Guests should be comfortable sharing real experiences, lessons learned, and honest perspectives. • If a topic intersects with leadership, resilience, entrepreneurship, marketing reality, or the future of work, it’s likely a strong fit.

Interview Subjects - Severe Psychological Impact from Heavy ChatGPT Use

Looking to talk with people who experienced severe psychological destabilization during heavy ChatGPT use Hi, Less than a year ago I experienced a psychotic episode during a period of very intense use of ChatGPT and similar AI systems. I’m stable now and trying to better understand what happened and how people recover from experiences like this. I’m a directing student in Poland and currently researching personal experiences related to intense AI interaction. This research may later become part of a documentary project focused on the psychological and social aftermath of such episodes - especially the process of returning to everyday life and rebuilding trust in your own perception. I’m not making claims about causality or blaming the technology. I’m interested in personal experiences and how people themselves interpret what happened. If you’ve had a similar experience and would be open to a confidential conversation, feel free to DM me. Anonymity is absolutely possible. Thank you.

Travel Automation Leaders on Customer Service Crisis Performance

Almost exactly 6 years to the date when travel’s customer service went through a catastrophic collapse because of Covid. We’re seeing a version of that now, concentrated in the Middle East but rippling across regions. The industry promised it would be better next time. Millions went into AI chatbots, self-service rebooking, automated call routing. The past two weeks have been the first real stress test of those promises. I genuinely want to know: did it work? Because the complaints I’m seeing on social media look painfully familiar. Same “due to heavy volumes” banners on the same travel homepages. I’d like to hear from people building and operating these systems about what’s actually different now versus 2020. Here’s the tension I want to explore: if the investment in automation came at the cost of human surge capacity, did six years of technology investment actually build crisis-grade customer service, or just make normal customer service cheaper?

Veterans & Consumers Affected by Nike Sneaker Bot Purchases

I need to say something publicly about the current sneaker release culture — specifically with Nike. I am a 100% Service-Connected Gulf War Era Veteran and a long-time Nike supporter. Like many veterans, athletes, and everyday working people, I have worn Nike for decades. But what is happening with these new sneaker drops is becoming dangerous, unfair, and frankly unacceptable. The most recent release — the Nike Dunk Low Wolf Grey — is another example of a system that is failing real consumers. Here is the reality: • Bots are clearing inventory in under two minutes • Legitimate consumers sit in checkout queues with payment info ready • We are then notified the sneaker is already sold out • Resellers immediately list the same shoe for 2–5× the price Even worse — the culture surrounding these releases has escalated into violence. There have been reports of assaults and even a shooting connected to sneaker releases. Think about that. A pair of shoes should never cost someone their life. As someone who served this country, I find it deeply troubling that companies benefiting from loyal consumers have not implemented stronger protections against automated purchasing bots and unsafe release practices. Consumer fairness matters. The Better Online Ticket Sales Act of 2016 exists to prevent automated software from manipulating ticket sales. Similar protections should be applied to high-demand retail products like limited sneaker drops. The Federal Trade Commission exists to protect consumers from unfair purchasing systems. Yet here we are. Let me be clear: Veterans, service members, nurses, teachers, construction workers — the people who actually wear these products — are not resellers. We are the loyal customer base that built these brands. What would it look like if the millions of veterans and military personnel in the United States simply stopped supporting companies that ignore consumer fairness? That is not a threat. That is a reality companies should take seriously. Nike has the resources to fix this: • Real bot prevention technology • Verified customer purchasing systems • Limits on automated purchases • Priority access for loyal customers • Safer release strategies The sneaker community should be about culture, sport, and community — not violence, bots, and frustration. Nike can do better. And as a veteran and long-time supporter of the brand, I hope they will. If you are a veteran, service member, or consumer who has experienced this same issue — I would like to hear from you. #Veterans #ConsumerFairness #SneakerCulture #Nike #BotProtection #MilitaryCommunity #ConsumerRights

Expert Source on SMR Regulatory Barriers in European Nuclear

SMRs have no future in Europe. That's what the regulatory reality suggests, even if nobody wants to say it out loud. The SMR business model rests on one thing: standardization. One design, deployed in series, replicated country by country. That's what makes it competitive. That's its entire value proposition. And that's exactly what the European regulatory landscape is quietly destroying. The problem: "ASME III" is being misread as a code. It's not. It's a system. The SMRs arriving on the European market Westinghouse, GE Hitachi, Nuscale are natively designed under the ASME BPVC Section III. But when European stakeholders talk about "adopting ASME III", they hear a construction code. One more standard to integrate. That's a fundamental misreading. ASME III is not an isolated technical reference. It's a complete, self-contained certification system, integrated into 10 CFR 50, backed by the NRC as the nuclear safety authority. Owners define the technical requirements. Manufacturers obtain their Certificates of Authorization (N-Types). Authorized Inspection Agencies (AIAs) surveil manufacturing until the Authorized Nuclear Inspector (ANI) signs the Data Reports. Everyone knows their role. It works because it's closed and controlled. Importing the name without importing the system is like taking the engine without the transmission. In Europe, we don't have that. Some member states have a structured safety authority with an established regulatory framework. Others are considering nuclear projects without one. No harmonized regulation on construction codes and conformity assessment exists across the continent. The result is mechanical: every SMR deployment in a European country will have to recreate its own regulatory layer to reconcile the selected construction code with the national framework. Project by project. Country by country. You turn an industrializable product into an individual project every single time. You destroy the value proposition at its foundation. But this isn't inevitable. European safety authorities don't need to agree on which model is best that's a job for lobbyists. One approach could be to work on mutual recognition agreements. Any clear position unblocks every project that follows. It's the absence of a position that is costing us. That's where the energy should go not on technology, not on financing. On regulatory clarity. That's the real issue. For those working on these topics: are you seeing any authorities starting to take a formal position? Any precedents emerging on your projects?

AI-Related Psychosis Case Studies for Documentary - Poland Preferred

Looking to speak with people who experienced a psychotic episode during intense AI use (documentary project) Hi, Less than a year ago I went through what is sometimes called an “AI-related psychosis.” It was such a large-scale and intense experience that it didn’t fit into the framework of my ordinary life or my previous understanding of reality. I’m stable now and trying to understand what it was and how to live with it. From my perspective, experiences like this are rarely openly discussed, which can make it especially difficult for people who’ve gone through something similar to return to a stable life. Often there isn’t even a language to describe what happened, or support that takes this kind of experience seriously. Out of this came the idea for a documentary film about people who have lived through similar states. I’m studying directing in Poland and currently preparing this project for further development. If you are based in Poland, that would be a big plus - but I’m open to speaking with people from other countries as well. I’m not interested in sensationalism or blaming technology. I’m interested in how a person returns to themselves after an experience that goes beyond their usual picture of the world - how self-perception changes, and how people deal with shame, loneliness, and misunderstanding from others. If you’ve had a similar experience and are open to a calm, confidential conversation, please DM me here. Anonymity is absolutely possible - both in our conversations and in the film itself. I take personal boundaries and privacy very seriously. English is not my first language, so I may use a translator in our communication. Thank you.

Construction Industry Workers for 2026 CONEXPO Personal Stories

Six years ago was my first time at CONEXPO-CON/AGG. If you were there while the world shut down for COVID, you probably remember how weird it was. People afraid of shaking hands, news of professional sports leagues canceling the rest of their seasons, and all of the travel issues that came with thousands of people trying to get back home after the show. Thankfully, Vegas is only about six hours from me, so I drove. With air travel being so chaotic at the time, I felt lucky to be able to avoid it. I remember driving home and thinking about how serious of a moment in time it was. I hardly even remember anything about the show itself, even as a first-time attendee. For me, it was all completely overshadowed by everything else going on. Three years ago in 2023, society was starting to get back to "normal," and it was refreshing being out in the world with such a large group of people. Even more so being in a place where we all share a connection to the construction industry. I remember leaving the show feeling more connected to people, to the industry, and more passionate about continuing to build my career serving contractors and those in the trades. And here we are now in 2026. Up until about six weeks ago, I was not even planning on going this year. Not really sure why, because when I think back on how energized I felt after the 2023 show, skipping it would have been a mistake. By nature, I am a bit introverted and reserved. Striking up conversations does not always come easily to me. This week feels like a chance to work on that. I am not going to the show for the equipment. I am going to CONEXPO for the people. Equipment and technology are nothing without the people who put them to use in the field. The people of this industry build our world every single day. They do what so many cannot, or will not, in order to provide for their families. Their blood, sweat, and tears are the literal foundation we all stand on. We depend on their daily efforts to build the infrastructure of society as we know it. They sacrifice more than most. For some, it's just a paycheck. For others, it's a way of being. Building and creating are deeply human. And building tangible things in the real world that have such a massive impact on everyone is no small thing. This CONEXPO, I will be rolling around with my 35mm film camera, aiming to capture some of the people behind this industry. If you see me and Justin Gillis out there, let’s connect. We want to hear your story. My goal is to leave the 2026 CONEXPO feeling even more energized and excited for the future than I was after the 2023 show.

OT-ICS Security Comment Contributors for NIST SP 800-82 Changes - OT.today

A data call for LinkedIn OT/ICS cyber nerds! National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is revising its SP 800-82 Guide to Operational Technology (OT) Security, and they asked for comments about the direction their changes should take. I'm writing a story for OT.today about the changes that people submitting comments (vendors, security experts and others) have asked for. Because it's not a rulemaking, the comments aren't public, and NIST generally doesn't publish them. I have comments from a handful of vendors, but I'm trying to gather the widest possible sample of views, so if you or anyone you know submitted comments, please send them my way. I'm prepared to provide anonymity in the story to anyone who needs it. So, if you don't wish to be publicly identified as the author of your comments, or if you don't have the authority to share the comments submitted by your employer, reach out anyway. I can keep your name out of it. #Cybersecurity #OTSecurity #IndustrialCybersecurity #OperationalTechnology #CriticalInfrastructure

Telecom-Fintech Convergence Insights for LinkedIn News MWC2026

“Hi Tetiana, My name is Solange Uwimana and I'm an editor at LinkedIn News… We want to hear from you: Which breakthroughs are you most excited to see at this year’s MWC?” I have shared my answer: “MWC increasingly feels like the place where telecom and financial ecosystems begin to converge. While AI will dominate the headlines, I believe the deeper shift is happening in how telecom operators rethink monetization of their customer base beyond connectivity. As growth from traditional telecom services slows, telcos are naturally moving toward embedded financial services — payments, wallets, lending, and SME solutions. Fintech, in turn, gains a powerful distribution partner. Telecoms bring scale, trust, and daily customer engagement, while fintech contributes banking expertise, regulatory know-how, and agile technology platforms. Together with my partner Ivan Istomin , we are coming to MWC to explore this convergence: to learn from research and experts, and to identify real cases where telecom players entering fintech need strong banking, technological, and advisory partners. I believe this telecom–fintech partnership could define the next phase of digital financial services. Engagement > retention > monetization” #MWC2026

AI Regulation Experts Needed for Tech Revolt Feature by March 4

I am currently working on an feature examining how AI regulation is shaped, and who shapes it. This will be featured on Tech Revolt. As governments accelerate the development of AI strategies and regulatory frameworks, global technology companies are increasingly involved in advisory councils, policy consultations, and standard-setting discussions. Industry expertise plays an important role in informing regulation. At the same time, questions around governance, transparency, and balance naturally emerge: • How is industry input structured in regulatory processes? • How are potential conflicts of interest managed? • Do evolving AI standards unintentionally favour dominant platforms? • What are the long-term implications for competition and innovation? This feature aims to explore how policymaking and technology intersect in practice, across jurisdictions and regulatory environments. If you are a policymaker, AI governance specialist, legal expert, academic, or technology executive with insight into these processes, I would welcome your perspective. You can DM me directly or email me at [email redacted] for your expert comments or for more information. Looking for expert comments by March 4th

Translation Professionals on Tech & AI in Commercial Legal Fields

Thoughts for an article on translation and technology Hi, everyone. I'm a literary translator (this is me: https://anathanwest.com/) and I am possibly working on an article about translation and technology. I've been asked to expand my remit beyond literary to other fields––commercial, legal, and interpretation. I'm not especially familiar with these; I've done a little commercial and I've interpreted for events, pretty badly IMO, and beyond that, I really only know the US and Spain and, to a much smaller degree, Germany. I'm just posting this in the hope that there are people on here who would be interested in talking about their experience with translation tech and AI, where they see things going, their hopes, fears––really anything. Feel free to DM me if you'd like to talk, and thank you.

Enterprise Leaders on Palantir-Linked Data Sovereignty Issues UK-EU

As public sector organisations continue to get flack for their use of #Palantir technology, at least in the UK and Europe, I'm curious if the concerns highlighted are showing themselves in the #enterprisetech market? Particularly, are operational #datasovereignty concerns also now influenced by PR worries? Has anyone seen a company refuse to use software from a vendor because of its political implications? Have you taken a stance on this? Open to comment on background, or ideally, in an interview. https://lnkd.in/exAqmUza #JournoRequest

Tech Innovation in Disaster Relief—Third-Sector Experts for The Stack

I've asked Noah Bovenizer to look into the innovative ways that disaster recovery, relief and reconstruction and other third-sector agencies are using technology.

UK School Leaders & Safeguarding on Legal Smartphone Ban Policies

Today the House of Lords is back on familiar territory, debating whether smartphones should be banned in schools as part of the wider Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill and the growing push to reshape children’s relationship with phones and social media. Behind that headline is a much more nuanced reality: A new House of Commons Library briefing shows that in England there is still no statutory ban, but schools are expected to prohibit mobile and smart device use during the day through their behaviour policies, while Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are each taking slightly different routes on restriction and local discretion. The research is equally uncomfortable. UNESCO, OECD, WHO and others link phones to distraction, behaviour issues, bullying and mental health concerns, yet some international data suggests simple bans do not automatically translate into better results or wellbeing. In my article I look at this through a risk lens and the “5 Ts” of risk response, including an option many leaders are now considering: - Banning smartphones, but still allowing basic brick phones for emergency contact. If you are in school leadership, safeguarding or governance: 1. Where do you stand on a legal smartphone ban in schools? 2. What is your current phone policy in practice, not just on paper? 3. Have you seen any clear shift in behaviour, learning or wellbeing? #mentalhealth #technologyrisk #risktreatment #education #politics
