💳 Citizens New Payment Portal: A Frustrating Miss

I’ve banked with Citizens my entire adult life. That loyalty comes with the expectation that when they roll out something new—like their payment portal—it should make my financial life easier, not harder.

Instead, it’s been the opposite:

The design feels like it was built a decade ago—clunky and unintuitive.

Workflows take too many clicks for simple actions.

Accessibility and mobile responsiveness seem like afterthoughts.

Worst of all, a bill I scheduled never arrived on time—despite the portal assuring me it would.

For a bank, that’s not just a bad experience. That’s a breakdown of trust.
Across the industry, we’ve seen that digital banking success isn’t just about functionality—it’s about designing experiences people can rely on. 

At millermedia7 (M7), our work with leading financial institutions has shown how user-centered design and smart use of AI can make platforms both intuitive and dependable.

In 2025, customers compare their banking apps to Apple Pay, Venmo, and PayPal. If the experience doesn’t measure up, even long-time loyalty won’t last.

👉 Curious—have you found your bank’s “new and improved” digital tools actually improve your experience, or do they still fall short?

🚀 A new leap in human-like robotics: Gemini Robotics just unveiled a breakthrough feature. Their AI can now think before it moves.  

This isn’t just a speed or precision upgrade; it’s a fundamental shift in how robots interact with the world. By introducing a cognitive “pause,” Gemini’s robots can assess context, predict outcomes, and make smarter, safer decisions before taking action.  

Imagine manufacturing robots anticipating the next step before the command arrives. Service robots adjusting their gestures based on human cues. Or collaborative bots learning not just what to do, but why. 

This kind of embodied intelligence bridges the gap between pure computation and physical intuition. It marks a major milestone on the road to true adaptive robotics.  

🤖 The future isn’t just about machines that move fast.  
It’s about machines that understand why they move at all. 

Stay out of sports though you robots!

Helping entrepreneurs and business owners launch, build, and grow their dreams with faithdriven resources.

Every great team begins with self-awareness — understanding who you are at the core.

Your temperament is the rock you were cut from — the God-given design that shapes how you think, lead, follow, and connect with others. While personality can shift with experience or environment, temperament reveals your natural wiring and default mode, especially under pressure.

Are you a social butterfly, a trailblazer, a thinker, or a peacemaker? Know the rock from which you are cut to shape your edge. There is no greater temperament, only greater awareness. Building a business and teams is a marathon of self-leadership — and knowing your temperament is the starting point for growth.

Join Ruth Ndwiga, Founder of BADILI CONSULTS, for an insightful session on “Understanding Temperaments for Stronger Teams.” This follow-up to Startup Teams: Leadership & Followership will help entrepreneurs:
✅ Understand their core temperament
✅ Connect temperament to strengths and blind spots in team building
✅ Promote self-awareness for better decision-making, leadership, and collaboration

💡 Date: Monday, October 27th, 2025
🕕 Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
📍 Mode: Online via ZOOM
🔗 Registration Link: https://lnkd.in/d8pXKTkh

Whether you’re building a startup, leading a ministry, or managing a growing team, this session will help you see how divine design meets practical leadership. Learn to appreciate your wiring, understand others better, and build stronger, more harmonious teams.

Winning is an attitude! 

As you get into the week, you will be confronted with issues, probables, challenges. 

These are opportunities for you to actually win. 

How you show up to the battles ahead of you will determine, to a large extent, whether or not you will win. 

Don’t wait to arrive in the ring to change your attitude, arrive with the attitude. 

Don’t wait to the challenge and a big magic wand from heaven. Confront your fears headon and determine to win. 

Go win.

Background
Joshua grew up watching his mother start initiatives while fully employed. Though she successfully managed other people's enterprises, he often wondered what would have happened if she had put all that effort into her own.

Aspirations
He is passionate about social entrepreneurship and desires to build ventures that add value to people's lives. His goal is to establish businesses that not only serve communities today but also stand as a lasting legacy for the next generation.

Faith & Business Vision

Through entrepreneurship, he seeks to uplift the less privileged, create opportunities, and demonstrate Christ's love by building ventures that transform communities.

The Big Short isn’t just a movie about the 2008 financial crisis; it’s a masterclass in spotting opportunities where others see chaos. 

It follows a handful of investors who predicted the housing bubble and profited from it. 

For entrepreneurs, the story contains important lessons about vision, risk, and independent thinking.

→ Spot the unseen opportunities
Successful entrepreneurs notice what others ignore. Like the investors in The Big Short, pay attention to inefficiencies, overlooked problems, and market blind spots.

→ Dare to be different
Innovation requires challenging conventional wisdom. These investors faced skepticism and doubt but trusted their research and instincts. Entrepreneurial breakthroughs require a willingness to challenge conventional wisdom.

→ Risk intelligently
Opportunity and risk are inextricably linkedThey didn’t make blind bets; instead, they calculated, hedged, and prepared for multiple scenarios.

Entrepreneurs should take bold moves, but they must do so with careful strategy and planning.g.

The Big Short is more than a financial thriller—it’s a roadmap for seeing beyond the obvious, thinking independently, and turning calculated risks into significant rewards. 

Opportunity frequently lurks in the shadows.

🧼 Japan unveils the “washing machine for humans”

A Japanese startup has created a capsule that completely replaces the shower and bath, users simply lie inside while the machine automatically washes their entire body and hair.

🔸 The chamber fills with warm water up to the neck and uses jets, bubbles, and ultrasonic waves for cleaning.
🔸 A built-in screen lets users watch videos or relax during the wash cycle.
🔸 Hotels and capsule hostels in Japan are already pre-ordering the device for guest rooms.

Japan’s obsession with automation has finally reached peak cleanliness.

Elon Musk predicts the end of smartphones, AI displays will take over

Elon Musk believes smartphones are on their way out. Within the next 5–10 years, he says, they’ll be replaced by AI-powered displays that act as direct interfaces between local and cloud-based large language models.

🔸 Instead of apps or operating systems, these handheld displays will generate personalized interfaces and content in real time.
🔸 Communication, media, and productivity will all flow through AI, no icons, no downloads, no screens full of apps.
🔸 The idea aligns with Musk’s broader vision of human-AI integration, blurring the line between digital and biological interaction.

If this future materializes, it won’t just replace the smartphone, it could erase the entire concept of a “device,” making AI the true operating system of daily life.

Everyone who says "work-life balance" has one of these:

1) Already has the resources to let them have the balance [social networks, financial capital, etc.]
2) Has access to resources that would make it an insult if they don't achieve work-life balance. 
3) Doesn't feel the need for high achievement. 

But if you are coming from a background that requires 10x the work towards resources and resourcefulness, you shut your mouth and give in to relentless work for a solid amount of years. 

What really bothers me is the annoying ignorance of those whose structures and infrastructure—money [both old and new], networks, relationships, etc.—set them up in a station where they just have to steward well what is given them. 

When a graduate/young person says "work-life balance," I typically ask for their background to find what is informing their present. Then I ask for the kind of future they want to build.

If they are as ambitious as I hope most young people are, I quickly let them know that building the future they want requires they "give up balance for a few years of their lives so that they can have the balance for the rest of their lives." 

While there are global tools and resources to help anyone achieve anything, I also encourage them to contextualize the application and use of these resources. Know where you are from. 

You are better off working hard and ruthlessly beyond balance early on so that there's no regret in your older years over whether or not you wasted your youth. 

But while you are working hard, from my perspective then, the practice of some theological truths informs this hard work: 

1) Productive work is commanded in the Bible (Gen 1). Rest is also commanded (Gen 1-3)
2) Since the fall, work has lost its natural productivity. The "noetic effects of sin" have taken over human nature and social structures, including work.  (Gen 3)
3) Work will not necessarily yield the productivity or results it is supposed to. (Gen 3)
4) Christ restores work and rest (Matt. 11; John 5)
5) The entire creation and us wait for the full restoration (Rom 8)
6) While we are here we work as if for Christ and for the Glory of God (Col 3:23)
7) We also work reductively, restoratively, and with faith. 

Anyway, work hard.

😱 Prisons, Torture, and Crypto Scams: The Fall of Cambodia’s “Billionaire” Chen Zhi

Chen Zhi, the flashy founder of Prince Holding Group, once hailed as Cambodia’s richest man, has been hit with a U.S. Department of Justice case after $15 billion in bitcoin was seized from him. Behind his conglomerate’s glossy facade of real estate, finance, and “social progress,” investigators allege a global web of fraud, torture, and human exploitation.

🖱 Prince Holding Group, active in 30 countries, allegedly ran private labor camps in Cambodia, fortified complexes where hundreds of people were detained and forced to operate crypto and investment scams targeting victims worldwide.

🖱 Victims were tricked through fake “profitable investment” pitches, while call centers with thousands of phones generated billions in stolen funds, later laundered through the Group’s legal businesses, including gambling and mining.

🖱 The U.S. seized 127,271 bitcoins linked to Chen Zhi, worth about $15 billion, from “non-custodial wallets” under his control. Documents found reportedly show Chen designed the money-laundering flows, kept photos of torture, and even beat detainees himself.

🖱 Ironically, just last year Chen Zhi was awarded “Entrepreneur of the Year” and “Visionary Leader in Social Progress.”

From polished billionaire to accused crime lord, Chen Zhi’s story reveals the dark evolution of some Southeast Asian conglomerates, where luxury, crypto, and coercion blend into a chilling new kind of global crime network.
