The secret to building habits that stick.Whether you want to read more books or exercise more regularly, BJ Fogg has good news. “Habits are easier to form than most people think,” he says, “If you do it in the right way.”As the founder and director of Stanford's Behavior Design Lab, Fogg has devoted much of his career to researching human psychology, motivation, and behavior. According to him, habit formation isn't a product of simply doing something over and over again. “It's not a function of repetition,” he says, “it's a function of emotion.”As Fogg discusses with host Matt Abrahams in this Rethinks episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, bringing our behavior in line with our goals is easier than we think — we just have to know the emotional levers to pull.Episode Reference Links:BJ Fogg Fogg's Book: Tiny HabitsConnect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (03:04) - The Information-Action Fallacy (04:47) - The Behavior Model: Motivation, Ability, Prompt (06:27) - Designing a Reading Habit (08:05) - What Is a Habit?

Big launches happen all the time. Very few turn into movements. That's what makes the Barbie movie such a powerful case study. What could've been a simple movie launch turned into a full-blown cultural takeover. In this episode, we break down the marketing strategy behind it with the help of our special guest Rekha Srivatsan, SVP & CMO at Tableau. Together, we explore what B2B leaders can learn from having a sharp point of view, building campaigns designed for participation, and letting brand impact and demand generation work side by side. About our guest, Rekha Srivatsan Proven product marketer with experience working in both large and small (but thinking "big"​) organizations. Winner's mentality, entrepreneurial spirit, and team player. Technical and creative skill set to execute with precision. Ability to conceptualize and execute in and outbound marketing programs and assets that directly impact the organization.  What B2B Companies Can Learn From Barbie: Have a point of view and don't apologize for it. Most B2B brands try to hedge. They sand down their sharp edges. They aim for consensus. Barbie did the opposite. As Rekha puts it: “Barbie did not try to please everyone.” That clarity is what made the campaign magnetic. In B2B, differentiation rarely comes from features. If your brand sounds like it was written by committee, it won't move anyone. The brands that win take a stand, speak clearly, and accept that not everyone is the audience. Design for participation, not just promotion. Barbie didn't just run ads. It became a movement. Rekha explains, “The Barbie audience, they aren't passive. Because they showed up really, really well. They showed up, dressed up, they posted.” That doesn't happen by accident. It happens when you create something people want to join. In B2B, this means building campaigns your customers can step into. If your marketing is something people consume and forget, you've capped your impact. If it's something they participate in, you've built a flywheel. Brand and demand are not opposites. Too many B2B teams treat brand and demand differently. Barbie proves that's wrong. Rekha says it directly: “The brand and demand aren't opposites… This is such an emotional, playful storytelling that they had, and they created such a huge commercial impact because of that. To me, the best kind of marketing is when you do both.” The takeaway for B2B is simple: emotional storytelling is leverage. When you build a brand people feel something about, demand follows faster and scales further. Quote “Barbie didn't just break through; it actually took over the conversation and made it so intentional and thoughtful.  And candidly, it was such a reminder for all of us in marketing about how our job is so important and how it can also be very, very fun when creativity and courage come together.” Time Stamps [01:15] Meet Rekha Srivatsan, SVP & CMO at Tableau [02:14] Why Barbie?  [03:25] The Role of CMO at Tableau [05:36] Barbie & the $150M Breadcrumb Campaign Explained [10:27] B2B Marketing Takeaways from Barbie [43:13] Tips for Your 2026 Marketing Strategy [44:33] Final Thoughts and Takeaways Links Connect with Rekha on LinkedIn Learn more about Tableau About Remarkable!

If you've ever wondered if anyone can really develop their psychic abilities? This episode is for you. I sit down with Chase McCarty, the creator of Social RV, an app that gamifies remote viewing, intuition, and all the weird little psychic skills you didn't think you could train. We talk about psi abilities like remote viewing and intuitive perception. Chase shares how he went from a skeptic to someone who built a digital space to help people train their intuition and perceptual capacities in a structured, measurable, and safe way. We talk about what psi really means, not as mysticism but as a capacity that we all have, and how early research — including government remote viewing studies and platforms like the Telepathy Tapes — helped shape modern interest in these abilities. Chase recounts the origins of his own journey and what it felt like to test these practices on himself. Together we explore how the Social RV app works, what it's like to practice remote viewing, and how intuitive perception feels in the body — including physical sensations like bilocation or subconscious symbolism that show up during practice. We also talk about how trauma and hyper‑sensitivity can heighten perceptual attunements, how to distinguish intuition from fear responses, and why gamifying these practices might help normalize and destigmatizepsi‑related experiences in everyday life. This conversation is both grounded and expansive, offering practical ways to explore intuition, sharpen perceptual awareness, and approach psi practice with safety, curiosity, and care. If you've ever wondered about the space between intuition and unconscious intelligence, or how you might train that capacity, this episode meets you there. The episode closes with Chase guiding a 12-minute meditation, designed to help you fine-tune your psychic senses, connect with subtle energies, and tap into your intuition in a tangible way. It's not just a talk, it's a hands-on experience for anyone curious about the unseen. Find Social RV and start training your psi skills at https://www.socialrv.com.

Today, David Charlton explores a powerful but often misunderstood dynamic in sport: the highly confident coach working with an athlete who lacks confidence in their ability. At first glance, this combination might appear positive. A confident leader should inspire belief and clarity. However, when the balance isn't right, the relationship can unintentionally increase anxiety, self‑doubt and disengagement for the athlete. Drawing on Albert Bandura's concept of self‑efficacy and Sophia Jowett's 3+1 Cs coach–athlete relationship model (closeness, commitment, complementarity and co‑orientation), David explains why perception inside the relationship is crucial. Low‑confidence athletes often interpret blunt feedback or high standards as confirmation that they are not good enough. Without awareness, confident coaching can therefore widen the psychological gap rather than close it. David shares practical ways coaches can adapt their approach to create psychologically safe environments where confidence can grow. From shifting towards process goals and asking better questions, to recognising quiet athletes and building ownership, this episode offers practical strategies for coaches who want to support athletes more effectively. Ultimately, great coaching combines high standards with empathy, awareness and strong relationships so athletes feel safe to try, safe to fail and supported to learn. >> Key Takeaways ·         Confidence from a coach doesn't automatically create confidence in an athlete, without awareness it can increase anxiety. ·         Low self‑efficacy athletes often interpret criticism as proof they don't belong, which can lead to avoidance and disengagement. ·         Strong coach–athlete relationships built on trust, communication and psychological safety help confidence grow.

In this episode of the Gladden Longevity Podcast, Dr. Jeffrey Gladden and neurologist Dr. Majid Fotuhi discuss building an "Invincible Brain." Challenging the myth that cognitive decline is inevitable, Dr. Fotuhi outlines five pillars—exercise, sleep, nutrition, stress management, and brain training, proven to increase brain volume and neuroplasticity. The discussion highlights how racket sports and balance training activate the cerebellum to boost overall function and reduce Alzheimer's risk. By consistently challenging the nervous system, you can shift the aging paradigm, achieving mental sharpness and vitality well into your 80s and 90s. This is the blueprint for lifelong brain health.     For Audience ·       Use code 'Podcast10' to get 10% OFF on any of our supplements at https://gladdenlongevityshop.com/ !      Takeaways ·       Cognitive decline is often driven by lifestyle factors. ·       Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can mitigate cognitive decline. ·       Physical activity, especially balance training, is crucial for brain health. ·       Aging should be viewed as an opportunity for growth, not decline. ·       Trauma and psychological health significantly impact cognitive function. ·       Neuroplasticity allows the brain to change and adapt throughout life. ·       Stress management techniques can improve brain function and resilience. ·       Mindset plays a critical role in how we perceive aging and health. ·       Engaging in new activities can enhance brain health and longevity. ·       Everyone has the potential to improve their cognitive abilities at any age.       Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Cognitive Health and Aging 04:46 The Five Pillars of Brain Health 08:41 Challenging the Brain for Longevity 11:28 Mindset Shift on Aging 14:24 Reversing Cognitive Decline 19:00 Understanding Trauma and Its Impact 23:32 Healing from Psychological Trauma 24:31 Neuroplasticity and the Brain's Ability to Change 28:17 Genetics and Neurotransmitter Functionality 31:35 Mastering Stress and Achieving Flow State 32:58 Mindset and Personal Growth 37:40 Agency and Joy in Life 39:46 Understanding Glutamate and Its Effects 43:12 Rebuilding the Brain and Cognitive Improvement   To learn more about Dr. Majid Fotuhi: Website: https://biologyoftrauma.com/ Reach out to us at:    Website: https://gladdenlongevity.com/     Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Gladdenlongevity/    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gladdenlongevity/?hl=en     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/gladdenlongevity    YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5_q8nexY4K5ilgFnKm7naw      Gladden Longevity Podcast Disclosures Production & Independence The Gladden Longevity Podcast and Age Hackers are produced by Gladden Longevity Podcast, which operates independently from Dr. Jeffrey Gladden's clinical practice and research at Gladden Longevity in Irving, Texas.

The Drive looked at the history of how the Chiefs have handled CB under Brett Veach, and how they believe they can always find a good CB.

Sarah Kellen Vickers, a longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, has faced sustained public scrutiny because of allegations in civil lawsuits that she helped schedule appointments, coordinate travel, and manage aspects of Epstein's household during the years when underage girls were being recruited. Several accusers named her in court filings, describing her as part of the inner circle that facilitated access to Epstein. However, despite those allegations, she has never been criminally charged. A key factor frequently cited is the 2008 federal non-prosecution agreement (NPA) negotiated in Florida, which granted immunity not only to Epstein but also to certain unnamed “potential co-conspirators.” Although the scope of that immunity has been heavily debated, it has been widely reported that Kellen was among those shielded from federal prosecution under that agreement.In the years since Epstein's 2019 arrest and death, federal prosecutors pursued charges against Ghislaine Maxwell but did not indict Kellen. Legal observers note that immunity provisions, evidentiary hurdles, statutes of limitations, and prosecutorial discretion all play a role in charging decisions. While civil litigation has continued to examine her alleged involvement, no criminal case has moved forward against her. That absence of charges has fueled criticism from some survivors and advocates who argue that accountability has been uneven. At the same time, without a criminal indictment or conviction, allegations against her remain claims raised in lawsuits rather than findings proven in court.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

If you are ready to move away from the hustle and want more ease and abundance, flow, and financial freedom in your life, this video is for you. I'm revealing the exact 3 steps required to experience a profound shift from wounded masculine energy to divine feminine magnetism. This isn't a strategy or a mindset hack - it is an ancient, deep, and somatic shift into your true feminine essence.Many spiritual women entrepreneurs are stuck in burnout culture, attaching their self-worth to performance and achievements. This misalignment blocks your natural ability to attract wealth because, according to the Law of Correspondence, you experience what you are. By healing the wounded feminine - specifically the witch wound, bitch wound, and whore wound - you reclaim your intuition, your creative power, and your receiving energy.In this video, you'll learn:

Scott helps Amazon and e-commerce entrepreneurs unlock growth and profitability bottlenecks in their businesses, and then exit for a top valuation. Scott, welcome to the show.Scott 00:00:15  Hey Josh Scott. Great to be here and I'm really looking forward to it.Josh 00:00:18  Scott, maybe we can dive a little bit deeper into that case study. At the beginning, you talked about, you know, that they were you identified that they were a good platform, right? So that they could continue to grow. What does that platform mean?Scott 00:00:31  Yeah. So the pillars of a great platform, the way that I think about it, my mentor, and has done over $20 billion of transactions. So, you know, you know, old school 30, 40 years in the investment banking world. And he his number one thing that he said to me was, Scott, it's not what the seller is selling, it's what the buyer is buying. So I would encourage everybody to not think about what you think is valuable in a business, but think about what buyers value in a business? The first thing that buyers value is not growth, but it's risk diversification.Scott 00:01:07  So the first thing that you need to think about is that you need to be compliance as a part of risk diversification, but also true diversification of your products so that no one product has, you know, more than, you know, 20% of your revenue. Otherwise, Amazon shuts it down or new competition comes in. A buyer can't get comfortable with that risk profile. So, so the first thing I would say is you analyze your risk. The second pillar of valuation is your profitability percentage. And so a lot of people think that if they have more profitability, that they're more valuable than if they have smaller profits. And while that is one of the pillars, a company that has 25 or 30% profit margins is just much more flexible and therefore valuable than a company that's 10 or 15%. So the second thing that we saw in this company was that they had a. Ability to have profitable products. And then we went to growth percentage, which is the third pillar. And I would if you wanted to benchmark a minimum growth percentages 20% per year.Scott 00:02:19  Now with Covid and Covid bumps, you might not all be there. but remember, you're not selling what you've done. You're selling what the business can do with the buyers capital infusion. And their definition is that minimum 20%, ideally 30% year over year growth is required. Well, if you think about what that capability really is, what we saw in this platform was a capability to successfully innovate and launch new products into the marketplace, because once a product gets up to a certain level, it kind of is what it is. So for people that are looking at action items that they can have today, it's that ability to have a successful launch model to drive the growth rate to that particular output. And then the fourth one becomes the size of the earnings. If you can prove that you can do it over a longer period of time, then you become more valuable because 30% growth on a company with a million of revenues is a lot different than somebody with 10 million of revenue. and so I think it's just important to think along building in and that's where that capital need comes in.Scott 00:03:25  Yeah. Because, you know, in this situation, back to this case study we saw in them even what they didn't see. We saw the platform, but they were think of it as borrowing money from uncle Bob. And if you go by, borrow 50 grand from your uncle, that's no problem. But when your business is at 10 million and you go ask them for 1.2 million, you know, uncle Bob says, you know I love you, Josh, but you know, I'm not the right investor for that level. So you have to think of your capital strategy not as an event, but as a process where you're always looking at what capital at the lowest risk, in the lowest cost to fuel that growth. And a lot of people get to a certain level, they don't have the capital planning. So then the growth rate, you know, levels off. So we saw the platform and we brought the capital strategy to place, and we did it through a combination of debt and equity.Scott 00:04:17  And that's what continued to fuel the growth because the person already had in place the ownership group alr...

The system was not built to keep you healthy. It was built to keep you paying. One entrepreneur who has spent his entire career inside US healthcare is finally saying out loud what most people only feel when they get the bill.What this episode is about:This is a raw, honest conversation with someone who has been operating inside the US healthcare industry since the 1990s. He breaks down exactly why the system is broken, who benefits from keeping it that way, and why the problem is only going to get worse, not better. Key topics discussed:- The "save all mentality" in US healthcare and why it drives unlimited spending regardless of cost- Why people are too scared to question their doctor's recommendations. and how that fear is being exploited- How insurance companies position themselves between patients and doctors- Why doctors get paid when you are sick, not when you are healthy, and what that incentive structure really means- Why the person who built their career in this industry believes the system is human-made, deeply destructive, and getting worse- The solution to the health care problem in the U.S. Why this episode matters:If you have ever received a medical bill that made no sense, been denied coverage, or felt like the system was working against you, this conversation will validate everything you suspected. This is not a political episode. It is a business and human conversation about a system that touches every single family in America. Entrepreneurs, healthcare workers, patients, and anyone paying for insurance needs to hear this.Drop a comment: have you ever felt like the healthcare system had your back, or did it let you down?

I speak with Dr David Moran in this week's episode. David is a coach and coach developer in Gaelic games. He is a post-doctoral researcher with the Insight Research Ireland Centre for Data Analytics and the School of Health and Human Performance at Dublin City University. We discuss a paper David led which examines grouping players by ability. Following the introduction of formal competition structures, youth sport often features ability grouping, referred to as streaming, for training and competition. In Gaelic games, a set of participatory sports indigenous to Ireland, streaming is commonly used to organize players. Despite its prevalence, streaming in sport has been under-researched. This study explored the experiences and perceptions of players, parents, and coaches across five Gaelic games clubs. It's findings on the advantages and disadvantages of streaming are relevant across all sports and will be of interest to every coach involved in youth sports. 

Hello to you listening in Auckland, New Zealand! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate  Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. As the oldest of 7 children I learned early on the innate wisdom toddlers bring to the game of life. They know how to say No! And then the world shows them the error of their ways. We grow up saying Yes when we mean No! What changed? We were taught that saying Yes is right, good, proper, helpful even and saying No! is just plain wrong. The problem is the more we say Yes when we mean No we forget how to make choices in our own best interest and well-being. This self-sabotage robs us of our ability to choose wisely, of our personal power, of our legitimate right to say No! with certainty, confidence, and clarity. Of course, there's nothing wrong with saying Yes so long as we agree with ourselves, are not limited in our options, feeling compelled, or thinking we will be rejected or worse.  It takes practice to practice saying No! As you get better at it you will come to value saying what you mean and meaning what you say.   Practical Tip: When asked to take on work you want to decline, say this, “No. It's good work; but it's not my work.” And thank you for listening!    You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

The Harvard Study of Adult Development, often referred to as the Grant Study, is widely recognized as the longest-running, in-depth scientific study of adult life ever conducted. I recently published an episode I did with the director, Robert Waldinger. The results of the study have now famously shown us that what most fulfills us in life is relationships. Of course not just any relationships, but the truly valuable and significant relationships of our lives. It's proven very difficult to have such relationships, if we can't effectively communicate with others. And by effectively communicate, we mean to actually connect in a meaningful way. So in this episode I bring you Renée Marino. Renée is a renowned Broadway star, singing, acting, and dancing in West Side Story, Pretty Woman, and Jersey Boys. Her lead role in Jersey Boys caught the eye of famed actor Clint Eastwood who took her from the stage and cast her for the lead female role in his film, Jersey Boys. Renée's livelihood is communicating. She must connect with and move the audience, and she's a master. Following Clint's film, Renée turned her attention to the professional and personal world and is showing us the heart and skill of real communication. The kind that does just what Renée does on stage, on film, and in her personal life...truly connects us with others in a meaningful way that moves them to engage with us. I connected with Renée so much I had her come back and co-host a bunch of episodes with me, we co-presented at a speaking event together, and became good friends. Renée has culminated her methodology of communicating in her book, Becoming a Master Communicator: Balancing New School Technology with Old School Simplicity, which you can get anywhere and just search for Renée Marino and you'll find her everywhere.

Welcome to episode #1025 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a moment when panic travels faster than proof, few marketers are as clear-eyed… and as human… as Ann Handley. A pioneering digital marketing strategist (MarketingProfs), bestselling author (Everybody Writes and Content Rules), longtime champion of writing that actually means something and dear friend (also, if you're not susbscribed to her newsletter, Total Annarchy, you really should be), Ann has built a career reminding businesses that the point of content isn't velocity… it's connection. In her recent essay, Something Messy Is Happening: On AI, Panic, and Asking Better Questions, she pushes back against the apocalyptic certainty surrounding AI job displacement and challenges the framing that faster always wins. Responding to venture capitalist Matt Shumer's argument, Something Big Is Happening, that AI will eliminate half of white-collar work within a few years, Ann dissects the seductive panic embedded in exponential curves and racing metaphors, arguing that technological capability does not equal economic inevitability. She reminds us that adoption is human-shaped, that judgment compounds when speed becomes cheap, and that friction is often where thinking actually happens. Rather than choosing between "adapt or die," Ann advocates for a steadier path: use the tools, reject the hysteria, protect the work that builds trust, expertise and meaning over time. Grounded in curiosity rather than fear, her perspective reframes the moment not as a race to outrun machines but as an invitation to ask better questions about what we're building… and why.

My voice might be a little raspy… but I'm fired up.In this episode of The Loveall Sales Podcast, I break down why sales is the greatest industry in the world — and why most people never come close to reaching their full potential in it.Sales built me.I was an introvert. I didn't even want to talk to people.A mentor believed in me before I believed in myself — and that belief changed my life.But here's the truth:With great ability comes great responsibility.Talent without character is dangerous.Ability without discipline is wasted.And freedom without accountability destroys careers.In this episode, I cover:Why most salespeople have “one year of experience” repeated for a decadeWhy mastering every prospecting channel (showroom, internet, service drive, Facebook Marketplace, and especially the PHONE) is non-negotiableHow I closed 70–81% of showroom traffic and why the national averages are unacceptableThe lost art of the phone — and why it separates elite performers from average onesWhy self-worth limits incomeWhy mentorship compresses decades into yearsWhy dealerships are leaking millions by refusing to invest in trainingThe real reason 42% of automotive salespeople quit within 90 daysThis isn't motivational fluff.This is about skill set.Mindset.Habits.Discipline.Preparation.Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance.Sales will give you everything you want — but only if you're willing to become the person capable of earning it.If you're content being average, this episode isn't for you.If you want to dominate your market, master the phone, grow your income, and build a life you're proud of — this is for you.I am on a mission to elevate this industry.If you're a salesperson, manager, GM, or dealer principal and you're serious about growth — reach out.

AI is already displacing workers in targeted ways - entry-level knowledge workers are being quietly erased from hiring pipelines, freelancers are getting crushed, and the career ladder is being sawed off at the bottom rungs. Yet ML engineer demand has surged 89% with a 3.2:1 talent deficit and $187K median salary. Covers the real displacement data, lessons from the artist bloodbath, the trades escape hatch, the orchestrator treadmill, expert disagreements on timelines, and concrete short- and long-term career moves for ML engineers. Links Notes and resources at ocdevel.com/mlg/mla-4 Try a walking desk - stay healthy & sharp while you learn & code Generate a podcast - use my voice to listen to any AI generated content you want Market Metrics and Displacement Dynamics ML Market: H1 2025 demand rose 89% with a 3.2 to 1 talent deficit. Median salary is $187,500, while Generative AI specialists earn a 40 to 60 percent premium. The "Quiet" Decline: Macro data shows only 4.5% of total layoffs are AI-attributed, but entry-level hiring is collapsing. Stanford/ADP data shows a 13 to 16 percent employment drop for workers aged 22 to 25 in AI-exposed roles since late 2022. UK graduate job postings fell 67%. Corporate Attrition: Salesforce cut 4,000 roles after AI absorbed 30 to 50 percent of workloads. Microsoft cut 15,000 roles as AI began generating 30% of its code. Amazon cut 30,000 jobs while spending $100 billion on AI infrastructure. Sector Analysis: Creative and Trades Illustrators: Jobs in China's gaming sector fell 70% in one year. Clients accept "good enough" work (80% quality) at 5% of the cost. Western freelance graphic design and writing jobs fell 18.5% and 30% respectively within eight months of ChatGPT's launch. Manual Labor: The U.S. construction industry lacks 1.7 million workers annually, but apprenticeships take five years. Humanoid robotics are advancing, with Unitree's R1 priced at $5,900 and Figure AI robots completing 1,250 runtime hours at BMW. Full automation is 10 to 15 years away, but partial displacement via smaller crews is closer. The Orchestration Treadmill Obsolescence Speed: Prompt engineering roles went from $375,000 salaries to obsolescence in 24 months. AI coding agents like Claude Code now resolve 72% of medium-complexity GitHub issues autonomously. Fragile Expertise: Replacing junior workers with AI prevents the development of future senior talent. New engineers risk "fragile expertise," directed by tools they cannot debug during novel failure modes. Economic and Expert Outlook Macro Risks: Daron Acemoglu warns of "so-so automation" that cuts costs without raising productivity, predicting only 0.66% growth over ten years. "Ghost GDP" describes AI-inflated accounts that fail to circulate because machines do not consume. Expert Camps: Accelerationists (Anthropic, OpenAI) predict human-level AI by 2027. Skeptics (LeCun, Marcus) argue LLMs are a dead end lacking world models. Pragmatists (Andrew Ng) suggest shifting from implementation to specification as the cost of code nears zero. Tactical Adaptation for ML Engineers Immediate Skills: Master production ML systems, MLOps, LLM evaluation, and safety engineering. Ability to manage deployment risks and hallucination detection is the primary hiring differentiator. Long-term Moats: Focus on "Small AI" (on-device, private), mechanistic interpretability, and deep domain knowledge in healthcare, logistics, or climate science. The Playbook: Optimize for the current three to five year window. Move from being a model builder to a product-focused engineer who understands business tradeoffs and regulatory compliance.

Inside a Quiet Combine Day for the Lions Jeff Risdon checked in live from Indianapolis on the Detroit Lions Podcast. Thursday at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine brings the first on-field work across the street. Wednesday was lighter. For the Detroit Lions, it was mostly defensive podium sessions. Useful, but limited. You learn how prospects communicate. You hear how they talk football. You watch poise and clarity. You do not get many hard answers. What Detroit Looks For in Combine Meetings The NFL churns on the question, did you meet with the Lions? It is a weak tell. Teams meet for different reasons. The Detroit Lions use those rooms to learn the person. Competitiveness. Ability to be coached. How a player meshes with coaches. The whiteboard matters, but less than with some clubs that grill pure X's and O's. Others will demand a defensive tackle recite gap fits from a specific snap. Detroit more often probes mindset and fit. Do not overread formal versus informal. Kirby Joseph had only an informal visit at the Combine and left thinking the Lions were not all that interested. He became a Detroit Lion anyway. There is also a player from this regime who was drafted with no Combine meeting at all. On the flip side, a prospect two drafts ago helped himself with a strong interview. The door swings both ways. Timing matters too. Podium appearances happen before many meetings. Prospects stay in town through workouts. A player who says he has not met Detroit yet on Wednesday might sit down with them Thursday night. Keep that context in mind when the meeting lists hit social media. Kelvin Shepherd's HC Interview Was Real One media session cut through the noise. The Dolphins GM discussed their head coach search after moving on from Mike McDaniel. Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Shepherd interviewed for that job. Some dismissed it as a box-check. The GM made it clear Shepherd was a serious candidate. That resonates in Indianapolis. It reflects how league decision-makers view Detroit's staff after back-to-back ascents. It also underscores why interviews at this NFL event are about people as much as plays. There is broader chatter. Miami's situation drew side-eye. Questions linger about Tua. There was even speculation about who will play quarterback for the New York Jets. Kyler Murray's name came up. It is not a great year to need a quarterback. None of that changes Detroit's plan this week. Watch. Learn. Separate signal from noise. The Combine is about stacking small edges. The Lions are sticking to it. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nflscoutingcombine #indianapolis #podiuminterviews #formalmeeting #informalvisit #whiteboardx'sando's #defensivetackle #abilitytobecoached #kirbyjoseph #dolphinsgm #mikemcdaniel #tua #kylermurray #newyorkjetsquarterback #kelvinshepherdheadcoachinterview Learn more about your ad choices.

The goal: learn to "sell yourself" without the ick factor.   Participants shared fears: follow-ups feel intimidating, sales feels slimy, and success seems like a numbers game. Robin reframed it: selling is really about enrollment—being a chief evangelist for your work, not begging for attention.   Drawing on stories from his childhood pumpkin patch, his time as a personal trainer (where desperation lost him clients), and opening Robin's Cafe in San Francisco (raising $40k, serving multiple stakeholders, training staff with Danny Meyer's principles), he showed the difference between selling from need vs. service. Long-term success comes from genuine connection, curiosity, optimism, and passion.   Attendees explored their "authentic attitude" and reflected on times self-promotion felt good versus slimy. Exercises included mapping all the people who benefit from your work—employees, customers, managers, mentees, community—and practicing generosity in selling (a "Miracle on 34th Street" mindset: help customers even if it means sending them elsewhere).   In Q&A, Robin tackled: Asking for promotions as modeling for others, especially women and minorities Persistence in follow-ups (yes, emailing Mark Benioff 53 times counts) Relationship-based enterprise selling Avoiding fear-based AI marketing by knowing who you serve and what problem you solve Recommended reading: Setting the Table (Danny Meyer), Unreasonable Hospitality (Will Guidara), The New Strategic Selling.   Robin also shared upcoming Snafu conference details (March 5, Oakland Museum of California) and reminded everyone: Snafu = situation normal; all fucked up. 00:00 Start 01:06 Audience Fears About Selling Robin Zander welcomes 93 participants to the webinar Notes the session is interactive with exercises planned Encourages participants to drop questions in chat or interrupt him Last 15–20 minutes reserved for questions Robin introduces himself briefly Focuses on storytelling as a tool for self-promotion Shares experience as a community builder Runs a conference called Responsive since 2016 (not Snafu) Tools, structures, and company cultures for resilient organizations Two-day event each September on the future of work Focus on building resilience in organizations Observations on rapid change Technology and work-life changes happening at a fast pace Questions about resilience in individuals Traits needed in careers, personal relationships, professional relationships Ability to stay resilient through change Robin frames his expertise Emphasizes his strength in asking questions and fostering honest conversations Labels himself a reluctant salesperson Not the world's leading expert on self-promotion or selling Key lessons from research and interviews Two buckets matter in business and life: Example: Sidebar community forming coalitions for learning and action Operational excellence: being competent and at least as good as others Promotion/enrollment/sales: standing up, saying what you want, building coalitions Started interviewing people about influence and persuasion Started a weekly newsletter called Snafu Written by hand, not AI Shares lessons from his life and others about self-promotion and resilience Focus on courage to take action: raising hand, offering something valuable Core characteristics of self-promotion and selling yourself Connecting with others: art of connection Courage to ask: inspired by Amanda Palmer's TED Talk and book The Art of Asking Opposes traditional "always be closing" sales mentality Advocates for simply asking for what you want Current work mostly involves storytelling for large companies Clients include Supersonic, Airbnb, Zappos, and others 12:25 Service as the Core Principle Robin introduces the concept of storytelling for self-promotion Stories used to: Get promotions Build coalitions Propel career or organizational growth Emphasizes turning personal, career, or company stories into "commercials" Focus of today's talk: self-promotion with impact Core principle: service Showing up from a place of helping others Through helping others, also helping oneself Distinguishes between sleazy salespeople and effective self-promoters Childhood anecdote: Robin's pumpkin patch Tended plants all summer, learned responsibility and care Harvested pumpkins and sold them using a small red tin box labeled "money" Ran "Robin's Pumpkin Patch" for five to seven years At age five, father had him plant pumpkin seeds Engaged neighborhood kids for fun, collaborative promotion Explained product (pumpkins) enthusiastically to potential buyers Used scarecrow costumes and creative gestures to attract attention Lessons learned from pumpkin patch: Authentic enthusiasm creates value Helping people do what they were already inclined to do Early experience of earning and serving simultaneously Self-promotion is most effective when it's service-driven, not manipulative Applying childhood lesson to career and business Asking for a raise Persuading companies to choose one service over another Promoting oneself or others (e.g., Evan, web developer) Key principle: approach self-promotion from delight and service, not need or fear Authentic enthusiasm as foundation for: Interactive exercise for participants Not influenced by sleep deprivation or stress Could be inspired by childhood or adult experiences Opposite of fear; personal and unique for each participant Question posed: what is your authentic attitude when self-promoting? Examples shared from participants: Curiosity Passion Inspiration Service to others Observation Possibility Insight Value Helping others Creativity Belief in serendipity Optimism Key takeaway from exercise and story Promoting from delight, enthusiasm, and service Promoting from need or fear Two versions of self-promotion: Effective self-promotion aligns with authenticity and enthusiasm, creating value for others while advancing oneself 18:36 Gym Job and Needy Selling Robin shares the next story and sets up the next exercise Gym culture is sales-heavy Initial motivation: love of fitness, desire to help people Quickly realizes environment incentivizes personal trainers to sell aggressively Timeframe: ~20 years later, at age 20, moved to San Francisco First post-college job: personal trainer in gyms Early experience at gyms Key lesson from early failure Selling from need feels gross Promoting oneself from fear or desperation leads to poor results Recognizes similarity to unwanted sales calls received personally First authentic success in self-promotion Worked at Petro and World's Gym in San Francisco, Pilates instructor Owner confronted Robin after two weeks: no clients, potential clients being lost to others Threatened termination by Friday if no clients acquired Robin froze under pressure, approached clients but with needy, desperate energy Outcome: fired by Friday, left gym Encounters man in pain on Valencia Street, offers help as personal trainer Approach comes from genuine care, desire to serve Leads to three-year working relationship, consistent sessions, good income Next client: world-famous photographer Michael Light at UCSF swimming pool Client comes from natural connection, not pushy salesmanship Dichotomy observed: Pushy, need-based self-promotion → freeze, poor results Service-oriented self-promotion → natural connections, sustained relationships Exercise for participants Prompt: identify two moments: One time self-promoting felt slimy → what were you doing? One time self-promoting felt good → what were you doing differently? Two-minute reflection / chat participation Participant reflections/examples Slimy examples: Interviewing for a job during layoffs, giving desperate energy Selling P&L at a hyperscaler Selling computers and printers in UK post-college Sales emails getting ghosted Feeling inauthentic or performative, taking advantage of someone Good examples: Offering services out of care and love rather than ROI Showing impact of work to junior child Knowing services add real value and solve a challenge Being clear on what the other person needs Key takeaway Self-promotion feels different depending on intent and knowledge Slimy → desperate, inauthentic, unclear value to recipient Authentic → service-driven, clear value, connection-focused Effective self-promotion combines knowing your value and serving others, not just pushing for personal gain 25:35 Miracle on 34th Street Lesson Feeling good in self-promotion comes from genuinely helping, solving problems, and sharing information Santa Claus hired at Macy's to hold kids and give candy canes, but real goal: persuade parents to buy from Macy's Santa instead sends parents to competitor to truly serve them Macy's manager initially furious Outcome: customers feel genuinely served, return praising Macy's, become loyal fans Robin references Miracle on 34th Street (original version) Key insight: providing real value, even if it benefits someone else, eventually returns value to you "Put enough bread across the water, eventually good things come back" Participant reflections Slimy: knowing audience expects judgment, catering to them for approval Good: giving the gift of knowledge, providing service freely Takeaway: authentic self-promotion is rooted in service, generosity, and sharing expertise, not manipulating for immediate gain 27:45 Starting Robin's Cafe Through Service Robin shares a major professional turning point: opening Robin's Cafe in 2016 No restaurant experience beyond college busing tables Opened in three weeks, eventually grew to 15 employees by 2018 Worked in multiple industries: Pumpkin patch, personal trainer, circus performer Opened a café/restaurant in Mission District, San Francisco Courage and conviction came from clear focus on service to others Employees: create a great workplace, go-giver culture Investors: $40k raised from friends/family, provided value and potential return Landlords (ODC, nonprofit dance center): wanted success of business to support community Customers: diverse—tech workers, kids in dance classes, local community Robin himself: financial sustainability, learning, personal growth Key audiences served by Robin's Cafe Approach to challenges Used Danny Meyer's Setting the Table as a service-focused framework for employees Philosophy: "giving in order to get paid" Examples: spouse, kids, dog, manager, peers, mentees, clients, community, customers, extended family, mentors Served multiple stakeholders during crises: break-ins, flooding, city permitting, neighborhood issues Exercise: identify all the people who benefit from your work or success Key idea: the more stakeholders served, the easier self-promotion becomes, because it comes from service, not need or pressure Show up thinking: does this serve the person I'm talking to? Principle: selling yourself from a place of service Consider multiple stakeholders simultaneously Audience question: elaborate on applying this service mindset specifically to asking for a promotion Tying service to self-promotion in career advancement Result: asking for a raise, applying for jobs, pitching clients—all easier and more authentic 38:11 Promotion As Service Asking for a promotion from a place of service Example: doing the role already, deserving recognition, asking for what you believe you've earned. Personal perspective: advocating for yourself is a form of service to yourself Recognize other stakeholders in the process: Modeling courage and advocacy for the next generation Authority enables ideas to be taken more seriously Stories gained from new responsibilities enhance value to clients or teams People you mentor, especially women or underrepresented groups The organization: your promotion can make it stronger Your family or children: showing them what it looks like to advocate Concrete examples Outcome: trajectory of career positively influenced, demonstrated courage, modeled behavior Asking first time for a manager role Later asking for VP title as a director Courage and small steps Courage = acting despite fear, not absence of fear Practice by taking incremental steps toward what scares you Avoid masking or hesitation; direct action builds confidence and results Persistence and follow-up Busy people require patience and multiple nudges Example: Mark Stubbings emailing Mark Benioff 53 times before a yes Persistence = respectful, consistent follow-ups Role modeling for women and minorities Demonstrates that asking is a normal, expected, and service-oriented act Many don't ask for promotions or raises due to upbringing or cultural norms Modeling advocacy teaches the next generation, including children, to speak up Service mindset in practice Approach self-promotion by asking: is this good for the other person? Keep intention aligned with service, not desperation Books for guidance: Setting the Table – Danny Meyer: service-driven sales and employee culture Unreasonable Hospitality – Will Guidara: lessons from the restaurant world on giving value and delight Key takeaways for promotion and asking Serve yourself, your mentees, your organization, and your broader audience Take small, courageous steps to ask for what you deserve Follow up respectfully and consistently; don't assume silence = no Self-promotion becomes easier and authentic when rooted in service, not fear or need Snafu Newsletter Weekly newsletter written by Robin Covers influence, persuasion, and modern workplace dynamics A resource for ongoing learning and practical insights 56:55 Where to Find Robin Robin's newsletter covers influence, persuasion, and modern work.

In this episode, Linda McKissack and Dana Gentry reflect on their key takeaways from the Rebel Event in Columbus, where speakers emphasized the power of authenticity, visibility, and strategic focus in today's evolving real estate and business landscape. They discuss how social media visibility now often trumps ability, why professionals must dive into how emotional connection and personalized client care create lasting loyalty, and also explore the importance of simplifying complex ideas, setting ambitious goals despite fear of failure, and consistently showing up with clarity and purpose.

A two minute tyre penalty sparks a full blown war between Henri Pélissier and the Tour’s tyrannical founder. Riders set off at 2am over cratered, post-war roads… and one man finishes the race half-blind with a glass eye. Part 4 dives into rebellion, brutal rules, Belgian domination and the kind of “suffering” that makes modern cycling look comfortable.

Many women believe their drinking defines who they are because they identify with their worst moments. But emotional sobriety requires a more nuanced understanding. The way you drink when you're alone may be completely different from how you drink socially, with family, or during high-stimulation environments — and each context activates different neural pathways, roles, and protective patterns. Colleen shares a personal example from a recent holiday gathering where old habits resurfaced despite years of progress. Instead of interpreting it as failure, she approached it as data — an opportunity to reconnect with a younger protective part of herself and practice intentional, mindful drinking strategies.

We're headed on the road in 2026! Buy tickets here:https://www.x1entertainment.com/bttb"The field notes for Candy Apples are unhinged. If you guys have never read the field notes for this episode then buckle up. It is possibly equal or crazier than some of our craziest stuff that has gone on. I don not know why they did not show any of this." And Christi isn't downplaying that either. Off screen an entire war was waged between Lucas' mom Bridget and Cathy, which left our Bitches floored by the sheer lunacy of the situation. While you got a taste of it in the episode proper, there's so much more name calling and subterfuge that it's honestly a little hard to keep track of!This week the ALDC and Candy Apples will pair off again at Sheer Talent in New Jersey... which of course since Abby has a stake in that competition it seems rather unlikely out the gate the Apples will stand a chance. Cathy is aware of this and enlists Erin Babbs to choreograph for the Candy Apples, hoping it'll not only produce great results but also annoy Abby in the process since she lost to Babbs a little over a month prior. It certainly annoys Abby, but it's going to take Cathy busting out a megaphone to really get her blood boiling (and Production is only too eager to oblige).Quotes“Ugh, Jess is always bad. She's kind of like the new Christi, in that she's always showing up with some ugly shit." (10:33-10:39 | Christi)“Oh my gosh, is Abby telling someone to listen to their mother?" (1:20:33-1:20:36 | Kelly)“My biggest question tho is I would really like to know where they were holding Vivi hostage? Because having Cathy come without Vivi is a world I don't want to live in." (1:24:56-1:25:08 | Christi)“Abby is going to deliver the line that literally is going to light, and I said this last week, every gas lantern in America. So all of you just raise your glasses in a universal toast because you are drinking to what is, not maybe, but definitively the biggest contradiction ever uttered in the history of Dance Moms."

Scott Kaufman is a psychologist, coach, professor, keynote speaker, and best-selling author. He is a professor of psychology at Columbia University and director of the Center for Human Potential. He also hosts The Psychology Podcast which has received over 30 million downloads and is widely considered among the top  psychology podcasts in the world. Scott's writing has appeared in The Atlantic, Scientific American, Psychology Today, and Harvard Business Review, and he is the author and editor of 11 books. In his most recent book Rise Above: Overcome a Victim Mindset, Empower Yourself, and Realize Your Full Potential, he explores the limiting beliefs and widespread anxiety that puts people in boxes, lowers expectations, and holds them back. In addition to teaching at Columbia, Scott has also been a professor at the University of Pennsylvania and NYU. Scott received a B.S. in psychology and human computer interaction from Carnegie Mellon, an M. Phil in experimental psychology from the University of Cambridge under a Gates Cambridge Scholarship, and a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology from Yale University. In this episode we discuss the following: Scott's definition of intelligence: the dynamic interplay of engagement and abilities in the pursuit of goals. When we give people a chance to go deep into an area that they love, over a long period of time, they can develop expertise and brain structures that can override some of our IQ limitations. The thing that surprised Scott most as he researched intelligence was just how predictive IQ is. Scott thought he was going to be on a vendetta against IQ but ended up falling in love with the science of IQ, intelligence, and the brain. Differences in ability are both natural and valuable, and recognizing them—rather than denying them—creates better paths for growth and contribution. Unlocking our potential requires intellectual honesty, patience, and environments that allow passion and skill to reinforce one another over time.
