🚨 New Episode Alert! 🚨 The H-1B visa program has been a hot topic lately, with high-profile voices like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy weighing in on its future. But here’s the problem: most people are getting it wrong. The conversation around H-1Bs often frames it as a battle between U.S. workers and foreign talent, but the reality is far more complex. It’s not just about immigration—it’s about the rising cost of education, corporate hiring practices, and who gets left behind in the process. In this episode of my podcast, Leap with Japa, I break down: 🎙️ The history and purpose of the H-1B visa program. 🎙️ Why 2-year associate degrees are often excluded from tech roles. 🎙️ The hidden role of student loans in corporate hiring decisions. 🎙️ And most importantly—a practical solution to fix the system. I believe that H-1Bs should focus on graduate-level talent, while entry-level roles should be reserved for local associate degree holders. This shift would strengthen both the domestic workforce and global competitiveness. 💡 What’s your take on the future of H-1Bs? Are we focusing on the right reforms, or missing the bigger picture? Let’s start the conversation! 👇 #immigrationpolicy #h1bvisa #futureofwork #internationalstudents #education #policy #techjobs https://lnkd.in/g2Dv76ZS

I was totally fascinated by the deep traditions and customs of Imperial China after checking out Marco Polo's stories about his trip to see Emperor Kublai Khan. During that era, there was a prevailing belief that the Chinese empire was the center of the world, and its ruler was seen as the son of Heaven, a divine figure embodied in human form. China has always maintained a strong sense of identity, successfully integrating foreign cultures throughout its history. Even Kublai Khan, the Mongol ruler who invaded China, ultimately embraced Chinese customs and traditions. This ability to absorb conquerors into its cultural fabric ensured that China never faced the threat of losing its national identity. The quest for power in China can be traced back to its first emperor, Shih Hwang-Tih, who unified the country in 221 BC, a legacy that continued until the Qing dynasty's decline in 1912. In the present day, China is focused on achieving dominance in artificial intelligence, with significant support from the government for its leading tech companies—Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent. In the year 102, a significant figure in Chinese history, Pan Tschao, who commanded the Chinese armies for 31 years and successfully brought the western provinces under control, shared some parting wisdom: "A government with a limited perspective cannot gain the support of its people. It is essential to be generous and forgiving, to let minor errors slide, and to focus on the key principles of governance." Leadership actions transcend time. What the great Chinese leader achieved with his armies can be accomplished today by a manager in a company. Exceptional leaders recognize that fostering high performance comes from winning over their team members' hearts through kindness, support, respect, and genuine attention, ultimately creating a happy and motivated team. When employees are happy at work, they are more likely to stay with the company, strive for greater achievements, and perform well. Additionally, this sense of happiness fosters innovation and enthusiasm for their tasks. Leaders play a crucial role in helping employees grasp their rights and responsibilities, fostering a shared understanding that promotes happiness and minimizes the risk of conflicts. Leaders not only need to keep an eye on numbers and outcomes, but they also have to prioritize creating a work environment where the team feels genuinely happy to be there. It's essential for employees to feel appreciated and supported to truly experience job satisfaction. Leaders must always remember that their greatest responsibility is to treat everyone with fairness and respect. #leadership #innovation #collaboration #industryexpert #datascience #digitaltransformation #futureofwork #techtrends #productdevelopment #businessgrowth #technology #effectiveness #productivity #highperformanceteam #management #softwareengineering #business #organization #company #workculture #leadershipdevelopment #strategy

"American culture 'has venerated mediocrity over excellence,' leading to a nation that does 'not produce the best engineers.'" 🤦🏽Look, if you want to do business in the U.S., it’s reasonable to expect investment in its citizens through hiring, training, or supporting education. Many nations demand far more just for market access to sell products. Ignoring education and workforce development leaves the population vulnerable to manipulation—an issue both political parties seem to tolerate, as high school remains a four-year standard unchanged for over a century. Education is the primary pathway to the American dream. Neglecting it while relying on talent from countries that prioritize education undermines fairness and sustainability for the nation you’re operating in.

Russia, Iran, and China are generating about 20% to 30% of the political content and comments on social media. Primarily spouting right-wing disinformation. Be careful who and what you interact with. Some of the disinformation being spread is costing the lives and livelihoods of people like the folks in Asheville who are desperately trying to rebuild their lives. Best practice - do not interact with disinformation posts/posters: Mark their content as misinformation for linkedin and move on.

About an hour ago, OpenAI just released a new ChatGPT called GPT-4o. The demos included stopped me dead in my tracks. Here are some highlights. 1. The "o" in GPT-4o stands for "Omni" (meaning "all"). The idea is this new technology is usable with text, audio, images, and video. ChatGPT is growing its ears and eyes and putting them to work quickly. Here's a video of it teaching math by watching (using a camera) a student work through a problem. (https://lnkd.in/gS46Fe8v) 2. It's faster. Noticeably faster. If you've used the voice chat in your ChatGPT application you'll notice the conversations feel a bit... slow. Well, now it's getting closer to the regular pacing you'd expect from a person. 3. It's cheaper. 50% cheaper to use as an API. This means that all those applications that are utilizing OpenAI (which is almost everyone at this point), are going to be able to afford the *better models.* And you, the user, will benefit. 4. It is much better at sounding human and understanding "tone" and emphasis. It will now be much more empathetic to *how* you say things, and respond in kind. Now it can be sarcastic, or even sing back to you. Here's a video of it harmonizing with a different ChatGPT (https://lnkd.in/gbZgDd8X) These are just a couple of callouts. The videos that OpenAI has posted to their announcement page (https://lnkd.in/gStzu6Ry) are, frankly, mind-blowing. I suggest everyone tuning in and watching. This is another big step for AI that you need to understand, regardless of who you are or what you do.

A few thoughts after visiting the Hadrian library - Hadrian library was estimated to have housed 17000 books. This would make it one of largest in the ancient world. In comparison, the library of Alexandria was estimate to have 200,000 to 700000; Google Books 40 million. - Everyone of us have access to that much information in our pockets. 17000 books would fit on a 32 Gb Kindle Paperwhite. The internet is estimated to have about 150 ZB of information, more than 5 million times. - These cultural treasures/institutions, ancient and modern, are worth preserving. https://lnkd.in/g6vFq-tW - Consider donating (time or money) to organizations such as https://www.wikipedia.org/ and https://archive.org/

My fellow Americans, please wake up. Israel is committing genocide & ethnic cleansing with the weapons & tax dollars we keep giving them. Not only have around 70% of the people that Israel has been killing been WOMEN (>10K) & CHILDREN (>14K), but they have also been killing & starving babies, disabled people, the elderly, & pregnant women. And most of the men they’ve been killing have been civilians – fathers, grandfathers, & even great grandfathers, & they are now finding mass graves all over Gaza proving this. They’ve even killed over 400 doctors, nurses, & medics, over 220 U.N. aid workers, & over 140 journalists (because their pesky cameras document too much evidence). And they’ve destroyed most of the homes, hospitals, schools, & infrastructure, making most of Gaza uninhabitable, as their leaders promised multiple times, & already have plans to move in Jewish settlers. So if you still doubt that Israel is committing both genocide & ethnic cleansing with the weapons & funding that WE keep giving them, then I have bridge to sell you. 🙏Please write & call your representatives & the White House to demand they stop helping Israel kill children & maintain its brutal, racist apartheid with our tax dollars.

✨ 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗘𝗕𝟭 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 ✨ When it comes to the EB1 visa process, one piece of advice I often share is: Don't copy someone else's profile. While it might seem tempting to replicate the approach of someone who succeeded, your story, achievements, and contributions are what truly set you apart. The EB1 criteria are designed to highlight your extraordinary abilities—not a cookie-cutter version of someone else’s journey. Immigration officers evaluate the originality and impact of your work, which means a one-size-fits-all approach often falls flat. So, how can you make your profile unique? ✅ Reflect on Your Journey: What problems have you solved? What innovations are tied to your name? ✅ Showcase Your Expertise: Think about the awards, recognitions, or key projects that demonstrate your influence. ✅ Build a Compelling Narrative: Connect the dots between your accomplishments to tell a cohesive, authentic story. Every EB1 recipient’s profile is as unique as their fingerprint. By staying true to your strengths and achievements, you not only increase your chances of success but also build a case that genuinely reflects who you are. 💡 Looking for support on your EB1 journey? 1️⃣ Join our EB1A Slack community, where we share insights, strategies, and inspiration to help you craft a winning profile. Join here: https://lnkd.in/gdcxCU7U 2️⃣ Book a personalized consultation with me to get tailored guidance and actionable feedback. 📅 Book a call here: https://lnkd.in/gCgsKfix Let’s make your EB1 case as extraordinary as your story. 🚀
