Solving for Change MOBIA Technology Innovations Solving for Change welcomes business and technology leaders to share stories of bold business transformation within complex organizations. In an era when technology and markets are changing around businesses, the key to staying competitive is to evolve in response to those changes.  MOBIA’s Mike Reeves and Marc LeBlanc investigate business transformation, deconstructing the challenges, ambitions, and market disruptions that drive companies to embark on transformation journeys, and exploring their unique approaches to achieving meaningful outcomes.  What sparks leaders to pursue business transformation? How do they overcome the challenges along the way? What are the keys to creating enduring change?  Through in-depth conversations with business and technology leaders, Mike and Marc answer these questions and explore how businesses evolve by pulling four key transformation levers: people, process, technology, and culture.

Mobile Hunters Dojo Nolan Taylor The *Mobile Hunters Dojo* aims to provide hunters with a platform for learning and sharing hunting experiences, focusing on mobile hunting techniques and strategies. The podcast is dedicated to helping listeners improve their skills in scouting, adapting to different environments, and being more effective hunters, particularly in the context of public land hunting. It also emphasizes the importance of community and honest, real-world experiences, offering advice from hunters who have firsthand knowledge of the challenges and rewards of the sport. Alongside technical skills, the Dojo encourages personal growth, inspiring hunters to reflect on their journeys, build resilience, and foster a deeper connection to nature and themselves. Through shared stories, challenges, and victories, the Dojo serves as a space for hunters to grow both as skilled hunters and as individuals.
