Content becomes forgettable when the key message isn't wrapped in storytelling.People don't retain information anywhere near as well as they remember stories they hear, and this is where manufacturing is missing a trick.Manufacturers are battling false perceptions that the industry is dirty, dingy, not innovative and not creative. But what's really happening is a failure to communicate the good stuff - the advanced systems and problem solving going on behind factory walls. The things that impact almost everything we touch in our lives.Chris is joined by Danny Gonzales, CEO at IndustrialSage – a video production company focusing on telling those manufacturing stories. Danny noticed that the sector was massively underserved and saw an opportunity to change peoples' perceptions. Using his background in B2B video production to fill the empty space with tales of meaningful work, and to show them to people in a way that they can receive it as something cool. Not a brain dump of stagnant information.For anyone thinking about how manufacturing companies can better communicate their value, attract talent, build stronger brands or create connections through storytelling, this episode is a look at how media and manufacturing are merging.In this episode, find out:How IndustrialSage was born out of the discovery that the machines, technology and processes happening in factories was both very cool and underrepresented in media.IndustrialSage and Danny's mission to change the common misconceptions about the manufacturing industry through storytelling and thought leadership.How true opportunity is found in the niches, despite the instinct to gravitate towards the aesthetic and techy industries which are usually overserviced.How Danny's career has evolved from his college dream of becoming a Hollywood producer, and how an actual Hollywood producer set him on his current path.Why product-user content filmed on an iPhone is outperforming brand films and how leveraging these tools can save time and money while embracing the shift towards authenticity.Why Danny believes the key to creating quality video content is in the strategy and distribution and what companies can do to implement these effectively.Why storytelling is the best way to communicate the value proposition and the psychology behind why it is so effective in overcoming the flood of content.Enjoying the show?

What if the breakthrough you've been praying for is still possible — even after years of struggle, burnout, and uncertainty? Just 12 months ago, Christine Davis was questioning whether she could even stay in the mortgage industry after nearly two decades in the business. She was exhausted, financially stressed, and stuck wondering if things would ever turn around. Today? She's completely transformed her business — increasing her monthly income over 8X while creating more consistency, confidence, freedom, and momentum than she's had in years. And she didn't do it through cold calling, chasing Realtors, or grinding herself into the ground. In this episode, Christine shares the real story behind her turnaround: The mindset shifts, daily habits, relationship strategies, and uncomfortable growth moments that helped her go from survival mode… to THRIVE MODE and building a business she's genuinely proud of again. Inside this episode: • Why waiting for the market to “get better” keeps most LOs stuck. • The simple daily “Hour of Power” habit that helped Christine rebuild momentum. • How to stop chasing referrals and become a true growth partner Realtors WANT to work with. • Why confidence comes from repetition — even when you feel awkward at first. • The systems and structure that gave Christine more income, less stress, and more time with family. • The biggest mistake struggling LOs make when trying to grow in a down market. If you've been feeling discouraged, inconsistent, or uncertain about your future in this industry… This episode will remind you that your next breakthrough may be a lot closer than you think.

Hey y'all, Alex here, let me catch you up!Jensen Huang went on Lex and said AGI has been achieved. We'll get to that.The biggest demo moment: Gemini 3.1 Flash Live launched - Google's omni model that sees, hears, and searches the web in real time. We tested it live and I said “what the f**k” on air. It was really impressive!Google Research also dropped TurboQuant (6x KV cache compression) which crashed Samsung and Micron stocks - we had Daniel Han from UnSloth help us make sense of why that's overblown. OpenAI killed Sora - the app, the API, and the $1B Disney deal. Claude felt noticeably dumber this week AND max account quotas are melting as 500+ people confirmed on my X and Reddit. We have an official word from Anthropic as to why. Mistral launched Voxtral TTS (open weight, claims to beat ElevenLabs), Cohere shipped an ASR model, and Google's Lyria 3 Pro now generates full 3-minute music tracks inside Producer AI.This and a lot more in today's episode, let's dive in (as always, show notes and links in the end!) ThursdAI - Let me catch you up! Gemini 3.1 Flash Live: The Real-Time AI Companion Is HereGoogle dropped a breaking news on the show today, with Gemini 3.1 Flash - LIVE version. This one is an omni-model, that means it can receive text/audio/video on input and respond in text and voice. It has Google search grounding, and it felt... immediate! I was blown away, really, check out the video, the speed with which it was able to “see” me, respond to my query, look up something on the web, was mind blowing. I don't often get “mind blown” anymore, there's just too many news, but this one did the trick! With the pricing being around 10x cheaper than GPT-real-time, and the Google search grounding being super fast, I can absolutely see this model being hooked up to... robots (like ReachyMini), SmartGlasses that can see what you see, and a bunch more! Gemini Live is available on Google AI studio and has been rolled out globally inside the Google Search app! So now when you pull up the Google Search app, just open it and point at anything. Truly a remarkable advancement.Google research publishes TurboQuant - 6x reduction in KV cache with 0 accuracy lossGoogle research posted some work (based on an Arxiv paper from almost a year ago) that shows that with geometry tricks, combining two other techniques like PolarQuant and QJL, they are able to compress the KV cache of running LLMs by nearly 6x, and show an 8X speed up for model inference with zero accuracy loss. If you ever watched silicon valley the HBO show, this sounds like the fictional middle-out algorithm from PiedPiper. If this scales (and that's a big if, we don't know if this applies to other, bigger models yet), this means significant decreases in memory requirements to run the current crop of LLMs for longer context. The claim is big, so we'll continue to monitor if this indeed scales, but the most interesting thing about this piece of news is, that it broke the AI bubble and went to wall street, with finance brows deciding that this means that memory will not be needed as much any more and it tanked Samsung and Micron stocks. Which I found particularly ridiculous on the show, did they not hear about Jevons Paradox? This is reminiscent of the DeepSeek R1 saga that tanked Nvidia stocks over a year ago. Daniel Han from Unsloth, who joined us on the show, pointed out that the approach is mathematically interesting even if it's not necessarily better than existing open-source techniques like DeepSeek MLA. LDJ noted that the baseline comparison (16-bit KV cache) isn't really fair since most production systems are already compressing beyond that. Yam implemented it himself and confirmed the speedups are real, but so is the trade-off.Anthropic updates: Opus dumber? Quotas lower! Injunction won! Computer.. used. Anthropic folks, especially on the Claude code side are shipping like crazy, we won't be able to cover all the updates, but there was a few notable things I have to keep you up to date on. Claude Opus seems to be getting “dumber”, againI have to talk about this because it affected my work directly this week and hundreds of people confirmed the same experience.I use Claude Opus for my standard ThursdAI prep workflow — generating the TL;DR with 10 bullet points and an executive summary for every topic we cover, creating episode pages, etc. The format has not changed for over a year and yet this week I asked for 10 factoids. I got 4. It says “10” right there in the prompt. Four bullet points. On the website builder, I've asked Opus to create a page for last weeks episode, and instead of adding it to the other episode, Opus decided to ... replace the last episode with this one. This would be funny if it wasn't sad. This is Opus 4.6 we're talking about, not some quantized open source LLM from last year! The reason is unclear, and it's not only me, Wolfram noticed that it's easier to see these types of things in other languages and that for the last week Opus would forget to add Umlauts in German!? and Yam also felt it. Pro/Max plan quotas burning up, Anthropic confirmed that they are tightening them for “peak hour” usageThis week, so many people started posting that something is wrong with their Claude Codes, I did a survey, and it blew up. Hundreds of people replied and confirmed that for the first week, they are hitting their session quotas on Pro and 20x $200/mo MAX accounts much much quicker than before. When I say much quicker, I mean, some fokls have hit the quota in as little as 5 minutes. While some others had no issues. I personally btw did not have this. A few days later, Thariq from the Claude code team, and later an official post, confirmed that Anthropic had been rolling out a “tightening” of the Pro/Max accounts to accomodate for growth. This is of course, a huge bummer to the folks who pay $200/mo for the 20x max tier, as they tend to run agents and subagents overnight. But here's the thing, I don't think that folks from Anthropic see what we see, some folks got no issues with hitting quota, and some are barely able to use their subscription. I hope that they will find and resolve these bugs quick, because some folks are switching to Codex, and the Anthropic IPO is coming up! I will say, I don't envy Thariq's job, he's doing it gracefully, and maybe one of the only ones in Anthropic that does it at all. Judge granted Anthropic an injunction against DoW and the whole “Supply chain risk” designation!Just in as I'm writing this, a district judge in CA, granted Anthropic an injunction against being designated as a supply-chain-risk company. If you haven't been following, the US Department of War, specifically Pete Hegseth, threatened and then designated Anthropic as a supply chain risk company, while us president Trump “fired” Anthropic and banned its use in any gov agencies. Well, no so fast says Judge Lin, from CA District court. In this Order, she shows that Dept. of war didn't meet any legal requirements for this designation. It's really a fascinating read, but the highligth is this: When asked why Hegseth made a public statementthat had no legal effect and that did not reflect the immediate intent of DoW, counsel stated, “I don't know.”This is just the first court and will likely be escalated further up the judicial system. This is still developing and apparently the Pentagon declared Anthropic a supply chain risk under two different statutes, and this only affects one of them. So while it's good news, it's not over yet. Voice & Audio Explosion: Three Releases in One HourI had to hit the breaking news button mid-TLDR because three major voice releases dropped simultaneously during the show.Mistral Voxtral TTS — Mistral's first text-to-speech model, 3 billion parameters, open weight. They claim it beats ElevenLabs Flash v2.5 in human preference tests (58% win rate on flagship voices, 68% on zero-shot voice cloning). We tested it live on the show — it's decent, with emotion controls for neutral, happy, and frustrated voices. I was not super impressed tbh, it sits somewhere between the very good big labs TTS and the very small open source 82M param TTS. Cohere Transcribe — Cohere enters the ASR game with a 2 billion parameter open-source model (Apache 2.0!) that immediately grabbed the #1 spot on HuggingFace's Open ASR Leaderboard with a 5.42% word error rate, beating Whisper Large v3's 7.44%. In human evaluations, it wins 61% of the time on average, and 64% specifically against Whisper. For anyone in regulated industries needing local inference for compliance, this could genuinely replace Whisper as the default.Google Lyria 3 Pro — Google's most advanced music model is here.It can now generate full 3-minute tracks with structural control — intros, verses, choruses, bridges. We generated a ThursdAI opening theme live on the show using Producer AI, and it was... honestly not bad? It followed our instructions perfectly: drum and bass, 174 BPM, high energy podcast opener with vocals and introduction. The instruction-following was spot on. Nisten said it's the best music generation model right now. It's available to Gemini subscribers and via Producer AI and gemini, and it can even compose music from images. SynthID watermarked, royalty-free. We might actually use one of the generated tracks as a new show opener.The craziest thing is, since Google acquired Composer, the team has been shipping. I only generated the audio during the live show, but now went back there to download it for you guys, and whoah, it can now generate whole clips by using other Google tech, this is really cool! OpenAI kills SORA (and Atlas?)Last week we reported on about OpenAI's focus shift towards Codex and productivity, and this week we see the first casualty. OpenAI is killing SORA, the app, the Sora 2 and Sora 2 pro models and APIs. Many AI haters are celebrating this as through “ai videos” is dead, but honestly, this is obviously about the GPU power and the other things OpenAI needs to do to win the fight against Anthropic. OpenAI is also apparently going to IPO this year (like Anthropic) and they absolutely need to win the productivity/agents in enterprise market. As part of this shut down, the Disney + OpenAI partnership, is also dissolving, and Disney will no longer invest 1B into OpenAI.So, say bye bye to having digital selfies with Sam Altman. I've generated this SORA vid to hear from Sam himself: Atlas browser, OpenAI's native browser endeavor is supposedly also going to transform, together with Codex and OpenAI native app into one super app that includes all three according to the same memo. AGI is here according to Jensen, AGI is far away, according to ARC-AGI-3 The back to back this week can give anyone whiplash. First, Lex Friedman had Jensen Huang on the podcast, and asked him a very specific “WhenAGI” question, to which Jensen said “I believe it's already here” Then just a few short days layer, ArcPrize, released the 3rd version of Arc-AGI, Arc-AGI 3 a series of puzzle games, where humans get 100% pass-rate and the current LLM, top tier frontier LLMs, are getting less than 1%! It's an interactive, agentic reasoning benchmark designed to test human-like generalization and intelligence in novel, abstract, turn-based environments.The puzzles all look simple enough to do, and are actually fun, and while the wild claims of “AGI is not here yet” from the ArcPrize folks are quite interesting. The stated goal of the foudation is to release evaluations that are completely un-saturated, and this seems like one such thing at first glance. There's a bit of a debate in the community about the way Arc Prize went about this specific benchmark (no harnesses, raw LLM outputs), saying that humans got a “game” while the LLMs get just raw JSON and minimal and no extra tools. For context, a agentic harness startup claims to have solved 35% already of the games in ArcAGI, but that result is unverified and self reported, becuase they are an agentic harness, which ArcAGI apparently disqualifies. AI Art and DiffusionI wanted to finish but I think these are important releases so I'll include them briefly. Luma Labs Uni-1 — thinks and generates pixels simultaneously, #1 human preference Elo (X, Announcement)This was a surprising release, we previously seen Luma Labs do video, but this time they are posting their Uni-1 which is a… image model but it's based on an LLM, so you talk to it, iterate together until you get results. Yes, Nano Banana via AI studio is kind of like this as well ,but Uni feels a bit different. It can also generate infographics, which I haven't tried yet. You can try Uni herePhota Labs launches Phota Studio + API — a photography-focused image model with identity-preserving personalization (X, try it)There's tons of photo startups, but this one looks kind of crazy! You upload a bunch of your pictures, they train a “model” for you, and then you can create a whole bunch of images, and they do actually resemble you. Yes, Nano Banana can take a few reference pictures, but this somehow seems more accurate! You can create professional photos, fix photos you like, add others to your photos. I do feel there's a jump in capabilities here, specifically because of the personalization! Give them a try if you're not worried about them training on your pics and let me know.Modular made Flux.2 run in

James Lavish, co-managing partner of the Bitcoin Opportunity Fund and author of The Informationist newsletter, joins Episode 305 of the Julia La Roche Show. In this episode, Lavish explains how the government shutdown has locked nearly $1 trillion in the Treasury General Account, draining liquidity from financial systems and raising concerns about a 2019-style repo crisis as bank reserves fall to dangerous levels. He argues Americans have lost 25% of their purchasing power from 2020 to 2025, and while technology should bring deflation, we instead have persistent 3% inflation because it's necessary to manage $38 trillion in debt through currency debasement. Lavish explains the K-shaped economy where the top 1% gained 8X wealth since 1990 versus 4X for the bottom 50%, noting commercial real estate defaults are spiking and subprime auto lenders are collapsing. When the TGA liquidity eventually floods back into markets, he warns not to mistake it for prosperity—it's currency debasement, which is why he recommends positioning in hard assets like Bitcoin, gold, and real estate. The Fed is trapped between dual mandates with no way out, and while AI stocks may have gotten ahead of themselves risking a market shock, his message is clear: own assets because he's not bullish on the economy, he's bearish on the currency.This episode is brought to you by VanEck. Learn more about the VanEck Rare Earth and Strategic Metals ETF: http://vaneck.com/REMXJuliaLinks: Twitter/X: https://x.com/jameslavish The Informationist: https://jameslavish.substack.com/ The Bitcoin Opportunity Fund: https://www.bitcoinopportunity.fund/ Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction and welcome1:20 - Big picture macro view: Fed battling dual mandates4:30 - Stagflation risk: prices rising as economy rolls over5:10 - Government shutdown removing liquidity from markets7:19 - Treasury General Account (TGA) explained14:21 - 2019 repo crisis explained21:31 - Current concerns about overnight lending market26:18 - Will Fed do QE again?29:03 - Credit markets29:07 - K-shaped economy explained37:08 - Position for currency deterioration38:28 - Why people think 2% inflation is normal40:11 - Lost 25% purchasing power from 2020 to 202540:41 - Technology should bring deflation, not inflation46:30 - Why we need inflation: $38 trillion debt problem50:59 - What's keeping James up at night55:27 - Closing remarks and contact information

Join Marvin Cash and Mac Brown on another segment of Casting Angles on The Articulate Fly fishing podcast as they tackle the technical challenges of North Carolina's extremely low water conditions during delayed harvest season. Mac Brown, veteran guide and casting instructor, shares essential leader construction techniques for technical low-water presentations, breaking down common misconceptions about leader design and energy transfer. Learn why adding tippet to store-bought leaders creates presentation problems, and discover Mac's proven formula for building effective 20-foot leaders using stiff monofilament like Maxima Chameleon—10 feet of 15-pound butt section, 5 feet of 12-pound, 2.5 feet of 0X, then your tippet of choice. Mac explains why modern nylon doesn't require complex tapered sections like old gut leaders did, debunks the "leader hinge" myth and reveals why he keeps the same leader on his rod for the entire fly line's lifespan. The discussion covers critical low-water stealth tactics including staying out of the water entirely, lengthening leaders for distance and using lighter tippets down to 7X and 8X nylon for superior knot strength over fluorocarbon in small diameters. With DH season underway and freestone streams running low across the Smokies, these expert adjustments will help you adapt your approach and connect with selective trout in challenging autumn conditions.Related ContentS7, Ep 41: Navigating High Water: Strategies for Success with Mac BrownS6, Ep 130: Casting in Color: Mac Brown's Fall Fly Fishing StrategiesS7, Ep 20: Practice Makes Perfect: Mac Brown on Mastering Casting TechniquesS6, Ep 141: Mastering Cold Weather Fly Fishing with Mac BrownAll Things Social MediaFollow Mac on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.Support the Show Shop on AmazonBecome a Patreon PatronSubscribe to the PodcastSubscribe to the podcast in the podcatcher of your choice.Advertise on the PodcastIs our community a good fit for your brand?

After more than 100 episodes, #Coach2Scale wraps with a powerful closing message from host Matt Benelli, one that goes far beyond sales tactics. In this final episode, Matt shares four hard-earned truths from hundreds of conversations with CROs, enablement leaders, and frontline managers. He challenges the myth of the “super rep turned manager,” breaks down the true ROI of coaching (7–8X when done right), and reminds us that one-on-ones aren't just a task, they're the operating system for growth.Matt also reflects on why performance loops aren't enough without practice loops, and how great teams aren't built on pressure, but on preparation. This episode connects the dots between personal development and business outcomes; it's a call for CROs and GTM leaders to stop managing through dashboards and start developing their people with purpose. If you're serious about building a high-performing team that lasts, this episode is your blueprint.Top Takeaways1. The human side of coaching is non-negotiable.Vulnerability-based trust isn't soft; it's the foundation for accountability, belief, and long-term performance.2. Properly equipped managers deliver 7–8X ROI.Coaching isn't a “nice to have”; consistent, structured 1:1s lead to higher engagement, lower attrition, and stronger pipeline performance.3. Stop promoting super reps into management without support.Selling and coaching are completely different skills; without systems and training, you set managers (and their teams) up to fail.4. Practice beats performance.Top teams don't just execute, they review, adapt, and improve with immediate, behavior-focused feedback that drives lasting change.5. Coaching isn't a tool; it's a behavior change engine.Technology alone doesn't drive growth; tying behavior improvement directly to outcomes is what makes a coaching culture truly effective.6. One-on-ones are not optional; they're the operating system.When coaching becomes the standard cadence, it shifts manager behavior from reactive firefighting to proactive development.7. Performance grows when reps feel developed, not just measured.The best leaders strike a balance between empathy and accountability, investing in long-term careers rather than just meeting short-term quotas.8. Coaching is how you scale without breaking your team.Growth doesn't come from dashboards or pressure; it comes from developing people who are confident, capable, and aligned.

In this week's Chit Chat Across the Pond, Adam Engst of TidBITS joins me to talk about his decision process on choosing an iPhone 17 over the 17 Pro. One of the things I like best about Adam is how, just like me, when he starts digging for an answer which should be knowable, he's like a dog with a bone and won't stop until he succeeds. The main decision point between the 17 and the 17 Pro is whether someone really does care about the 8X telephoto lens vs. the macro lens. We tried to figure out how many photos we really took with the 5X on the iPhone 16 Pro, but that turned out to be a much harder task than you would think. We tried Apple Photos smart albums, but for reasons you'll hear, you can't really do it that way. Using the open source command line ExifTool from exiftool.org/... (also available through Homebrew) and his able assistant ChatGPT, he was able to create a script that queried our Photos Libraries to determine how many photos we had taken in the last year using the different camera/lens combos on the iPhone 16 Pro.

How to Build a Membership That Fuels Freedom, Stability, and Long-Term Growth If you've ever wondered whether a membership could work in your business model — or if you're still sitting on the sidelines debating when to make the leap — this episode is your permission slip to stop waiting and start validating. Stu McLaren is here for an unfiltered, insight-packed conversation on what's changing in the world of memberships, how to launch one even if you're just starting out, and the fastest path to turning what you know into monthly recurring revenue. This isn't just a pep talk — it's a masterclass in how to build predictability, profitability, and long-term sustainability into your business model. You'll learn why memberships are more relevant than ever (even in the age of AI), how to create real transformation for your customers (not just provide more content), and the exact strategy Stu teaches to validate your idea before you build a thing. Whether you're brand new to memberships or looking to scale your existing one, this episode is packed with innovative marketing strategies, real-world case studies, and mindset shifts to help you grow.  HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Information is everywhere — but implementation is what sets you apart.

Stu breaks down why predictable monthly income changes everything—from reducing stress to increasing your company's valuation. 3️⃣ You don't need a huge audience to launch. Stu shares the exact “founding member” script and strategy to validate your idea and welcome your first paying members (before you even create a single piece of content!) RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Years ago, Stu helped me create a membership that now generates millions in recurring revenue. And it's not just because he's brilliant (though, he is).

It's strange how something as simple as the vibe of a waiting room can completely change how people feel about going to the dentist. When a place feels stiff and impersonal, it just adds to the anxiety that so many already bring with them. But when you walk into a space that feels warm and familiar—like your favorite neighborhood spot—it's like your guard drops a little. That kind of atmosphere doesn't just make people more comfortable, it makes them want to come back.In this episode of the Dental Flow Podcast, host Benjamin Suggs explains why your reception area can make or break a patient's first impression. He shares how small upgrades—like a clean, clutter-free space, friendly greetings, and simple comforts like coffee or Wi-Fi—can ease anxiety and build instant trust. It's not just about appearances; it's about creating a calm, welcoming vibe that helps patients feel cared for before they ever sit in the chair.
