Having escaped the Flensing House, the band took a short rest to treat their wounds and regroup, now in the company of two Arbitrators and a soldier. The Judge's wounds were severe, but only after Morgan pressured him, did he allow Damien to heal him with powers from the warp. Solomon, meanwhile, noticed the Judge having a private conversation with Damien and returning healed, and so began to record evidence of his companions' tendencies towards heresy. Morgan showed her rosette to second the Arbitrators to their mission, and they began to make their way to the Jumentierre Estate, where they should finally find Talos Ivo. Featuring players Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, Josh Halbot, and Tyler Hewitt, and Dungeon Master Ryan LaPlante.

This episode explores the dynamic landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI), highlighting its transformative impact on employment and the evolving competitive environment among major tech companies. They indicate a paradoxical effect on the job market, where significant layoffs driven by AI-led efficiencies, particularly in entry-level and administrative roles, coincide with the creation of new, specialised AI-related positions. Furthermore, the texts detail innovative approaches to hiring, such as Meta's "AI-Enabled Interviews," while also showcasing divergent strategies within the industry, exemplified by Anthropic's ban on AI during its recruitment processes. Finally, the sources touch upon key developments from prominent AI players, including Google's advanced Gemini 2.5 Deep Think and Perplexity AI's focus on white-collar automation.

This episode examines the unprecedented global capital expenditure in Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure. It quantifies this investment, currently estimated at approximately £410 billion annually, highlighting that this "Silicon Stimulus" is significantly propping up US GDP growth, masking underlying economic weaknesses.The report draws parallels with historical infrastructure booms like the 19th-century railroad expansion and the dot-com era's telecom buildout, noting that the AI boom's scale already surpasses the latter. A critical distinction is the short lifespan of AI hardware, particularly GPUs, which have an effective useful life of only one to three years, creating a "Capital Maintenance Trap" that necessitates continuous, massive investment.
The Valley Council for Health and Human Services and its community partners just released the 2025 Valley Community Index - a powerful tool used by nonprofits, municipalities, funders, and residents to better understand the needs and strengths of the Lower Naugatuck Valley.

Then we'll get reacquainted with a powerful nonprofit workforce development agency - since 1995, Career Resources has been a transformative leader in workforce development, empowering thousands of job seekers across Connecticut with the tools, training, and opportunities they need to build stronger futures.

This is the "meat lecture" — where I broke down the core framework behind how I help chiropractors build, grow, and scale their practices. We get into: How to finally nail your business model (and why this is where most docs get stuck) Why marketing and sales feel hard — and how to “hail” your message so it actually lands What “scaling” really means (and how I learned the hard way what not to do) The real reason you don't have enough time or money — and how to fix it fast The biggest mindset shifts that separate stressed-out clinicians from real CEOs Whether you're just starting out or stuck at $30K/month, this framework is the roadmap I wish I had back in 2012 — and the one I use every day with our top clients.

AI could soon think in ways we don't even understand, increasing the risk of misalignment.This episode highlights a growing concern among AI researchers regarding the opacity of advanced artificial intelligence systems. These experts, from prominent AI companies, warn that the internal reasoning of AI, particularly large language models (LLMs), could become incomprehensible to humans, increasing the risk of misalignment and unforeseen harmful behaviours. A key area of focus is "chains of thought" (CoTs), the sequential steps LLMs take to solve problems, which researchers believe offer a vital but imperfect window into AI decision-making. The text explains that monitoring CoTs can help identify why AI goes awry or generates false information, but acknowledges limitations such as AI's ability to conceal reasoning, or operate without human-comprehensible CoTs. To address these issues, the researchers propose strategies to enhance CoT monitoring and transparency, emphasising its importance as an AI safety measure, despite the potential for future models to bypass such oversight.

What does it take to build a recruiting firm that survives three recessions, operates across borders, and thrives without retainers? In this episode of The Resilient Recruiter, we spotlight David Fishman, founder of Sparrow Company—a bi-national executive search and staffing firm based in both the U.S. and Mexico. David shares how he rebuilt after nearly losing everything in 2009 and developed a resilient, multi-revenue business that consistently closes $30K+ deals on contingency. With a team of 12 and placements ranging from hourly plant workers to C-suite executives, David proves that long-term success in recruiting isn't about flashy tech or a narrow niche—it's about grit, loyalty, smart diversification, and building client trust. Whether you're a firm owner, solo operator, or team leader, this episode will inspire you to think bigger, act faster, and future-proof your business model. Episode Highlights: [2:30] Why David's recruiting journey started with a family staffing business and a Coast Guard exit [7:00] How the 2009 recession nearly wiped him out—and what it took to survive [16:00] Expanding into Mexico: a single client request that changed everything [24:00] Building a binational team and training his kids to become recruiters [36:00] Why he's not retained (yet), and how he consistently closes $30K+ fees on contingency [47:00] How Sparrow places both plant supervisors and presidents using the same recruiting mechanics [1:06:00] David's multiple revenue streams: recruiting projects, temp staffing, nearshore talent [1:13:00] Why impulsivity is his superpower and what legacy he wants to leave behind Why Diversification is Non-Negotiable After nearly losing his business during the 2009 downturn, David made a key decision: stop relying on one industry or one type of placement. Today, Sparrow Company operates across manufacturing, engineering, mining, supply chain, and IT—placing roles at all levels across North America and Europe. Key takeaway for recruiters: Think beyond niche. Build a multi-layered model across industry, function, level, and geography. 3 Revenue Streams Every Recruiting Firm Owner Should Know To protect against market shifts and add recurring income, David built three revenue lines: Embedded recruiters on short-term contracts Temporary staffing through a dedicated local firm Contract engineers working remotely from Mexico for U.S. clients These offerings helped him scale sustainably, stabilize cash flow, and serve clients more deeply. “Every time we add a new service, it helps us survive another economic cycle.” How to Close $30K+ Deals Without Retainers David works 100% on contingency—but trains his clients to expect fewer resumes and faster, more precise matches. His firm is known for first-candidate hires and high-level execution without the upfront fees. “I'm not retained, but I'm still beating the firms that are. Because I'm hungrier.” About David Fishman David Fishman is the founder of Sparrow Company, a bi-national staffing and executive search firm incorporated in the United States and Mexico. With 30+ years in recruiting, he's placed CEO, CFO, VP, Director, Plant Manager, and Engineering roles across global manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, and Tier-One automotive clients.
