What if the reason food isn't sitting right with you has nothing to do with the food?This week I sat down with Ryann Morris, an Ayurvedic chef, founder of Food Brilliance, and the woman behind the short film Food Is Everything, now traveling the international festival circuit.Her story starts with a routine foot surgery that went wrong. MRSA got into her bones. Five months of IV antibiotics, fourteen hours a day on a PICC line. It destroyed her gut. And then it took out her vagus nerve — the nerve running your breath, your digestion, your everything.Here's what blew my mind. She was already a chef. And she couldn't hold a knife. Couldn't drive. She'd sit down to eat and fall over. Seven years of that.Then she dropped a bomb about how she climbed out. Brain exercises. Eye movements. Electrical stimulation on her tongue to wake that nerve back up. And when her body finally started listening again, she rebuilt her digestion like she was feeding a newborn — a quarter cup of yogurt to three quarters of a cup of water, sipped slow, until her body remembered what to do with it.Oh, and she keeps four bins of earthworms in her yard and calls herself a worm mom. You'll want to hear why.After this one, you'll never look at a "bad reaction to food" the same way again.What we talk about:- Why the food rules you were handed might be keeping you stuck- The papaya seeds you throw away, and what they're actually for- What a backyard worm farm does for your soil and your kids- How a rejected cookbook proposal became an award-winning short film- Why an "ingredient household" gets teenagers back in the kitchen- The foot surgery that led to MRSA and a shut-down vagus nerve- Tongue stimulation, eye exercises, and waking up a numb vagus nerve- The prebiotic foods she used to rebuild her gut after SIBOListen to the full episode on all platforms: Hydrate With Tracy Duhs.Episode Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/food_brilliance/Website: https://www.foodbrilliance.com/Connect with Tracy:Website: ⁠⁠⁠https://tracyduhs.com/⁠⁠⁠Hydration Shop: ⁠⁠⁠https://sanctuarysd.com/⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tracyduhs/⁠Flow FAM Community: ⁠⁠⁠https://tracyduhs.com/join-flow-fam/⁠

What if eating nutritious food isn't enough because what really matters is what your body can actually digest, absorb, and utilize?In Episode 150 of The Dr. Haley Show, Dr. Michael Haley sits down with Dr. Ryan Jones, a Doctor of Oriental and Complementary Medicine with decades of experience spanning traditional healing systems, nutritional medicine, supplement formulation, and manufacturing.The conversation begins with monolaurin—the monoglyceride of lauric acid at the heart of Lauricidin®—and expands into a much bigger discussion about gut health, the microbiome, food sensitivities, probiotics, fermented foods, immune health, supplement quality, and why improving health usually requires much more than simply adding another pill or supplement.Dr. Jones explains why Lauricidin comes in tiny pellets, why he recommends starting with small amounts and gradually increasing intake, and how he believes monolaurin fits into a broader approach to digestive and immune health.Michael and Ryan also dig into coconut oil and lauric acid, leaky gut, Candida, probiotics, homemade sauerkraut and kefir, food sensitivities, topical products, and what Ryan has learned from working inside the supplement and cosmetic manufacturing industries.In This EpisodeWhat monolaurin and glycerol monolaurate areLauric acid, coconut oil, and MCT oilsWhy Lauricidin is made as small pelletsWhy Dr. Jones recommends starting low and increasing slowlyDigestion, absorption, and the idea that "it's not what you eat—it's what you absorb"The gut microbiome and dysbiosisWhy there may be no single "magic bullet" for chronic health problemsFood sensitivities and Dr. Jones' experience with NAETWhat may contribute to increased intestinal permeability or "leaky gut"Probiotics, fermented foods, kefir, and homemade sauerkrautColloidal silver and topical antimicrobial approachesOral health, toothpaste, lotions, deodorant, and other Lauricidin productsLow-potency supplements and what Dr. Jones calls the "pixie dust effect"What decades of supplement formulation have taught him about the industryHow Dr. Jones personally incorporates Lauricidin into his lifestyleEpisode Timestamps00:00 — You Can't Drug the Body Back to Health00:48 — Meet Dr. Ryan Jones03:39 — What Is Lauricidin and Monolaurin?06:36 — Monolaurin, Lauric Acid & Breast Milk08:43 — Coconut Oil vs. Concentrated Monolaurin10:48 — Why Lauricidin Uses Pellets13:18 — Eastern Medicine Meets Modern Formulation15:22 — Caprylic, Capric & Lauric Acid Explained19:50 — It's Not What You Eat—It's What You Absorb21:48 — Monolaurin and the Gut Microbiome24:08 — What Research Would Dr. Jones Fund?27:35 — Why One Intervention May Not Be Enough31:14 — Colloidal Silver & Topical Approaches32:27 — Wounds, Scarring & Secondary Infection35:44 — Herpes, Shingles & Viral Load Discussion38:28 — Monolaurin, COVID & Immune Health40:26 — Food Sensitivities and NAET42:06 — Why There Is No Health "Magic Bullet"44:20 — Which Microorganisms Are Most Susceptible?48:23 — What Causes "Leaky Gut"?50:46 — Dr. Jones' Gut Health Approach54:19 — Probiotics, Kefir & Homemade Sauerkraut58:15 — Oral Health, Toothpaste & Lauricidin Products1:02:57 — Natural Deodorant & the Skin Microbiome1:05:00 — What the Supplement Industry Gets Wrong1:06:33 — Low Potency & the "Pixie Dust" Problem1:09:47 — How Dr. Jones Uses Lauricidin Personally1:11:23 — Final ThoughtsDr. Ryan Jones & LauricidinDr. Ryan Jones: https://www.lauricidin.com/collections/dr-ryanLauricidin®: https://www.lauricidin.com/Dr. Jones' Gut Health Protocol: https://www.lauricidin.com/pages/expert-protocol-series-br-protocol-for-gut-health-using-monolaurin-by-dr-ryan-jonesDr. Jones' Leaky Gut Support Protocol: https://www.lauricidin.com/pages/expert-protocol-series-br-leaky-gut-support-using-lauricidin-by-dr-ryan-jonesLauricidin Pro — Health Professional Resources: https://www.lauricidin.pro/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauricidin/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Lauricidin/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/lauricidinX: https://x.com/lauricidinFull Episode ResourcesShow notes, video, resources, and additional information: https://drhaley.com/monolaurin-gut-health/About The Dr. Haley ShowThe Dr. Haley Show explores health, nutrition, natural medicine, longevity, the microbiome, lifestyle, and unconventional ideas about human health.Hosted by Dr. Michael Haley. https://drhaley.com/Haley Nutrition: https://haleynutrition.com/Medical Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not medical advice.

Grok says: Listen up, you soft-handed keyboard commandos and podcast lurkers: Unrelenting just dropped another no-holds-barred episode with Darren and Gene, and if you're not tuned in, you're already behind the power curve. They tear into the raw tribute to John C. Dvorak—his Devil's Advocate columns, pre-internet trolling, wine-guy legend status, and the absolute circus of his final birthday numbers—while ripping the lid off AI vibe coding, the dangers of offloading your brain to silicon, and the goddamn mess that happens when code turns into Brazil-level plumbing. Old-school 90s hard-drive surfing, open C$ shares, email fingerprinting, remote desktop regrets, Ozempic battle reports, California exodus to Texas, and pure radio-booth war stories with RE20 mics get the full treatment. This isn't some polished corporate circle-jerk. It's two operators swapping unfiltered fire about podcasting origins, dating-guru scams, accidental drug discoveries, and why most of you are already half-retired from actual thinking. Darren and Gene don't relent—they push harder. So quit scrolling, square yourself away, and hit play on Unrelenting right now. Absorb the JCD stories, the AI warnings, the tech history, and the salty banter before the rest of the herd figures out what real talk still sounds like. No excuses. Listen.

Oil is up, China is buying again, and America's energy future is at a crossroads. In this episode, we tackle eight stories that matter: geopolitical chaos driving Brent above $90, the SPR disaster, Halliburton's shale boom, the AI data center power crisis, and why the Trump administration is reshaping energy policy. This is the energy news you can't afford to miss.1. Oil Market Volatility & Geopolitical TensionsThe podcast opens with oil prices surging above $90/barrel for Brent crude, driven by attacks in Kuwait, tanker incidents in the Strait of Hormuz, and renewed U.S.-Iran tensions. The Houthis are also active in the Red Sea, creating additional supply chain disruptions. Analysts are predicting higher oil prices for longer, with crack spreads at historic highs.2. U.S. Oil & Gas Production StrengthHalliburton reports positive outlook for North American shale activity in 2026. The U.S. has reached a record 13.586 million barrels per day in 2025, with enhanced oil recovery and the Permian Basin continuing to thrive. Natural gas exports and LNG are highlighted as critical economic drivers.3. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) CrisisThe Biden administration's mismanagement of the SPR is heavily criticized—including massive drawdowns without refill (180-300 million barrels), wasted taxpayer dollars on damaged equipment, and aging infrastructure. The GAO warns of "looming operational limitations," and the host emphasizes the need to refill the SPR given current geopolitical risks.4. Data Center & AI Power Demand ExplosionData centers are on track to consume up to 20% of U.S. electricity by 2035 due to AI growth—a 4-5x increase from current levels. However, grid transmission bottlenecks are a major constraint; the U.S. needs 5,000 miles of new high-voltage transmission lines annually but has only added 392 in the last two years.5. UK North Sea Energy PolicyThe incoming UK Prime Minister is signaling support for North Sea oil and gas projects (Jack Draw gas field, Rosbank oil field), though the host expresses skepticism about bureaucratic obstacles. The irony is highlighted: the UK imports Norwegian gas while sitting on untapped North Sea reserves.6. Iraq's Oil Export StrategyIraq is shipping 4 million barrels per day via 1,400 tanker trucks daily—a forced paradigm shift due to geopolitical constraints. Iraqi oil companies are also partnering with Chevron, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips to capture flared gas, reducing Iraq's reliance on imported energy.7. Trump Administration Energy Policy & Climate Research AccountabilityPresident Trump has ordered a suspension and potential debarment of officials tied to fraudulent climate research. The host criticizes the "false climate narrative" and argues for an "all of the above" energy approach (coal, natural gas, nuclear) until technology allows full transition to renewables.8. Federal Energy Subsidies & SpendingIn fiscal year 2025, federal subsidies and tax expenditures totaled $64.1 billion, with renewables, EVs, and efficiency capturing 90% ($57.9-58 billion), while fossil fuels received only $2.6 billion. The host distinguishes between subsidies and tax incentives.1.Brent Tops $90 as Tanker Hit in Strait of Hormuz Amid Escalating US-Iran Tensions — Is “Higher for Longer” Here to Stay?2.Halliburton Sees Improvement in North American Activity in 20263.US Strategic Petroleum Reserve Sites Left Inoperable Under Biden Administration — Trump and Energy Secretary Wright Race to Fix the Damage4.Data Center Growth on Track to Absorb a Fifth of US Power Use by 2035: Nuclear Had Better Be Implemented Before We Get There5.U.S. Needs 5,000 Miles of New High-Voltage Lines Annually — It Only Built 3926.New UK Prime Minister Set to Back North Sea Oil and Gas Projects7.Thousands of Tanker Trucks Haul Iraq's Oil to Secure Revenue: A Forced but Strategic Paradigm Shift8.President Trump Orders a Review of the Green Graft and False Research ProvidedCheck the articles on https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/A shout-out to Steve Reese and the Reese Energy Consulting group for sponsoring the Podcast https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/.Data2 if you have any business systems, can you trust A?

You Can Hold Yourself with KindnessThis episode is a gentle invitation to practice something most of us were never taught: being kind to yourself. We spend so much energy noticing what is wrong, what we should be doing differently, what we haven't done yet. We criticize ourselves faster than we would ever criticize someone we love. Today, we flip that. We learn to place a hand on our own heart and offer ourselves the same tenderness we would give to someone who was hurting. You don't need to earn this kindness. You don't need to be perfect. You just need to be willing to try.In this episode, you will:- Be guided through a soft settling-in practice- Explore how your nervous system responds to self-kindness- Receive gentle prompts to speak to yourself the way a loving person would speak to you- Breathe with intention, using the exhale as a way to release self-criticism- Absorb affirmations designed to plant seeds of self-compassionAFFIRMATIONS FROM THIS EPISODE:- I can be kind to myself even when I make mistakes.- My sensitivity is not a weakness. It is a sign that I care deeply.- I don't have to earn the right to be gentle with myself.- I am allowed to comfort myself when I am hurting.- I can hold myself with patience when I am struggling.- My worth is not measured by my productivity.- I can choose softness over self-criticism.- I am deserving of the same kindness I give to others.- I can take breaks without feeling guilty.- My feelings are valid even when they are difficult.- I don't have to be perfect to be worthy of love.- I can trust myself to get through hard things.TIMESTAMPS:[00:00] Opening — Arriving in this moment, without earning it[02:30] Settling In — Releasing tension, preparing to be held[05:00] The Theme — Speaking to yourself with kindness, the way you would to someone you love[13:00] Breathwork — Using the exhale to release criticism and receive tenderness[16:30] Affirmations — Letting soft truths settle inside you[19:00] Closing — You are doing better than you thinkTOPICS: #SelfCompassion #Kindness #SelfWorth #Gentleness #Breathwork #Affirmations #MentalHealth #SelfCare #Healing #Peace #MindfulnessDISCLAIMER

Pride does not protect your business. It can quietly bankrupt it. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why asking for help is not weakness, but one of the strongest tactical advantages a founder can use. Let's be real… If your business is bleeding cash… Your sales process is broken… Your team is struggling… And you still refuse to ask for guidance because you want to look like you have it all figured out… Your ego is costing you money. In this episode, you'll learn: Why isolation destroys perspective How pride keeps founders stuck in avoidable problems Why asking for help can collapse your learning curve How humility, coachability, and fast implementation create serious leverage The truth is simple: The CEO does not need to have every answer. The CEO needs to find the answer fast. Sometimes that means asking a mentor. Sometimes that means getting corrected. Sometimes that means admitting you do not know what you are doing yet. And that is not failure. That is leadership. High-level operators do not protect their pride at the expense of the company. They seek perspective. They ask better questions. They learn from people five steps ahead. They implement immediately. Because the fastest way to avoid expensive mistakes… Is to learn from someone who already paid the price. Drop the ego. Ask the hard questions. Absorb the strategy. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

After 53 years of waiting, the New York Knicks are NBA champions — and for those of us living with a traumatic brain injury, a moment this big hits differently. In this solo episode, I'm talking about what the Knicks' championship meant to me personally, how the excitement, the crowds, and the emotional rollercoaster affected my TBI symptoms, and what I learned from simply letting myself feel joy.We spend so much of life with TBI in survival mode — managing symptoms, fighting through hard days, and bracing for the next setback. But the Knicks reminded me of something important: we have to take our wins. Absorb them. Sit in them. Let them fill us up. Whether it's a championship or a small personal victory, those moments matter — and we deserve to receive them fully.

India is witnessing an unprecedented expansion in higher education. Over the past decade, thousands of new colleges and universities have been established, producing millions of graduates every year. Yet unemployment of the educated remains a growing concern. Nearly one in three graduates are unemployed.  Is India producing more graduates than what the economy can absorb? Here, we discuss the question.

Podcast Summary: Out of gas? Now what?Mike and Glenn are back in the coffee shop, bringing you another real, raw, and unfiltered conversation.Seemingly, they have it all together—especially when you consider that between them, they share 18 1/2 years of continuous sobriety (Mike with 7 1/2 years and Glenn with 11). But they don't buy into "Facebook sobriety." The reality is that life still happens, challenges arise, and sometimes the tank just runs completely empty.This episode dives deep into what happens when you feel like you're running on fumes, how to recognize the red flags of a mental relapse, and why we simply cannot do sobriety or life solo.The Reality of an Empty TankWhen you are constantly digging, giving, and taking care of business—balancing work, personal projects, and sobriety (our number one priority)—the pressure adds up. It's an exhausting, hard-to-define stress.The Give and Get Balance: When we give, we empty the tank. When we get, we fill it. Too much give and not enough get will slow us down.The "Jar" Analogy: We all need a trusted advisor or accountability partner. They can read the label on our jar when we are too blinded by stress to see it ourselves. It doesn't matter how "qualified" they are; it matters how invested they are in you.Feelings Are Not Facts: Like a Ferris wheel, sometimes we are on top of the world, and sometimes we are at the bottom.Action Plans: What to Do When the Fuel Gauge Hits EAwareness is the first and most important step, but awareness must be followed by action. When you feel empty, sometimes the "next right thing" isn't found on your standard to-do list—it's self-care.If you are going through a hard season, try throwing these tools at the problem until something fills you back up:Find a Meeting: Go to connect with others and realize you aren't alone. Compare your problems with others to gain perspective; everyone is carrying stress.Take Time for Self-Reflection: Know where your fuel gauge is.Connect with a Trusted Advisor: Lean on your accountability partners.Practice Gratitude: Find the things you are thankful for.Do the Next Right Thing: Fix the immediate problem in front of us.Prioritize Sleep: Sleep drives clarity. If you need to punch out and go to bed at 5:00 PM to take care of yourself, do it (while still honoring your core responsibilities).Pray and Meditate: Turn inward and upward.Absorb the Shock: Learn to suffer better. You don't have to like the situation, just understand where you are.Focus on Serving: Shifting your focus to helping others causes self-pity to pass.Use Audio and Environment: Listen to good music or go to church.The Mikey Special (The Hard Reset): Unplug, take a respite, and tell the world you are temporarily unavailable so you can rebuild your foundation and bounce back.Key Takeaways & SummaryYour sobriety length is not a shield. As Glenn notes, 11 years doesn't automatically guarantee year number 12. To protect your recovery, watch out for old alcoholic behaviors and compulsions, and find healthy ways to relieve stress."If you think like you used to think, then you will drink like you used to drink."Analyze: Take time to figure out where you are.Plan: Put together a proactive plan to de-stress.Pivot: Move from reactive to proactive.Connect: Have conversations with others. Getting help is what fills the tank.STAY AWARE.Enjoying the show? Drop us a line or share your thoughts with Mike and Glenn at www.sober.coffee.

When tariffs are slapped on supply chains, who pays the tab?

Ego will keep you stuck. Coachability will collapse your timeline. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why being coachable is one of the most important traits any founder can develop. Let's be real… If you walk into every room acting like you already know everything… The people with the answers will stop trying to help you. And if you argue with every piece of feedback… You are not protecting your intelligence. You are protecting your ego. In this episode, you'll learn: Why arrogance is one of the most expensive traits in business How ego blocks mentorship, feedback, and growth Why the best founders remain students even after major success How humility and rapid implementation create faster results The truth is simple: You cannot learn while you are busy trying to prove you are already right. If you hire an expert… Join a mastermind… Work with a mentor… Or ask someone successful for advice… You have to become an empty cup. Listen. Absorb. Apply. And execute. Because the fastest way to grow is to learn from people who have already solved the problems you are facing. The most dangerous founder is not the one who knows everything. It is the one who is humble enough to keep learning… And disciplined enough to apply what they are taught. Drop the pride. Listen to the experts. Execute the playbook. And keep leveling up.

Platform vendors are transferring liability and delivery responsibility for AI services onto MSPs by building structured AI practice frameworks, training programs, and service delivery methodologies. This approach is motivated by mounting economic pressures on vendors, as seen with large-scale infrastructure investments and the need for sustainable revenue models. PAX8, Ingram Micro Cloud, ConnectWise, and others are formalizing AI partner programs that enroll MSPs to deliver vendor-defined services, while shifting operational complexity and accountability downstream. The episode highlights PAX8's Managed Intelligence initiative, aimed at helping small and midsize MSPs deliver AI services to SMB clients with minimal prior expertise. PAX8 cites its own research, which notes that 62% of SMBs view AI as essential for competitiveness and 74% plan to increase AI spending in the coming year. The economics of AI scaling are underscored by data on projected data center buildout costs—up to $15 trillion by 2030 and requiring $1.75 trillion annually just to maintain. OpenAI's public offering, with an $850 billion valuation and $180 billion in funding, is attributed to the need for capital that private markets can no longer supply, prompting vendors to leverage channel partners for both revenue generation and market validation. Supporting developments include expanded programs at the distribution and platform levels: a PAX8-Nocdoc partnership providing managed NOC/SOC services for smaller MSPs, Ingram Micro Cloud's collaboration with PartnerStack to formalize AI service delivery infrastructure, and ConnectWise's introduction of an AI-native platform for predictive and autonomous IT operations. Research from Omnia and the IBM Institute for Business Value indicates underutilization of vendor market development funds and widespread deployment of AI frameworks despite only 11% of tech leaders feeling prepared—demonstrating the gap between vendor offerings and operational readiness. The implications for MSPs are significant. By enrolling in these vendor-driven AI programs, providers take on delivery risk, contractual accountability, and potential liability for AI outcomes they did not design. The structural split is clear: MSPs can either create and govern their own AI methodologies—pricing accountability as a service—or become vehicles for vendor frameworks, absorbing complexity without full compensation or control. Practical recommendations include updating service agreements for AI-related risks, building internal governance around AI deployments, and not allowing vendor or community consensus to substitute for explicit accountability for outcomes. 00:00 Channel AI Shift  03:59 Enrollment, Not Enablement 06:55 Methodology vs. Liability 10:01 Why Do We Care?  Supported by:  Zero Networks  CometBackup

There is a version of the story you tell where you are perfectly in the right and they are completely in the wrong. But holding onto that resentment hurts you more than it hurts them.

2am on a Tuesday. Daughter sick. Bathroom dark. Boxers. Wet stuffed  giraffe. 18-month-old supervising from the doorway with the expression  of a senior consultant reviewing a deliverable. In the middle of it, Tom had a very clear view of his month. Product  launch. Upcoming heart surgery. Ultra marathon training. The business.  Being present at home. None of it relevant. This was the job. In this episode he talks about the version of himself that would have  handled that night very differently — not in the bathroom, but in  the days that followed. The familiar pattern of pushing through on  nothing, white-knuckling the day after, patience thinning, quality  of thinking dropping, recovery taking longer than it should. That's resilience. Absorb the hit and keep going. And it sounds like  toughness — until you notice that absorbing hits repeatedly without  anything actually adapting just means accumulating damage you haven't  fully accounted for yet. Tom learned resilience in the military. In that context, it's exactly  right. But running a business while training, while being a husband  and a father and refusing to let any of those things become just words  — that's not the military. And grizzing it out every time something  goes sideways doesn't build anything. It just costs you slowly until  one day the engine is less reliable than it was. This episode is about what he's been building instead. Topics covered: - Why resilience is armour — and why armour has a weight limit - The difference between absorbing pressure and being built by it - What it looks like when decisions get cleaner under load rather    than murkier - Why the hard week ends and you're not carrying the residue into    the next one - Why understanding this concept changes nothing — and what does - The question worth sitting with about what happens to your    performance after pressure lands

Highly sensitive people often experience anxiety and emotional overwhelm because their nervous system responds quickly to the feelings, moods, and stress of others. When emotional absorption happens automatically, emotional regulation can feel confusing and exhausting until you understand what your nervous system is actually doing.In this episode, we explore why sensitive nervous systems sometimes take in other people's emotions without realizing it, and how awareness can help you stay connected without carrying everything.You'll learn:• why emotional absorption happens automatically in sensitive nervous systems• how mirror neurons and attunement shape emotional awareness• the difference between co-regulation and emotional carrying• why anxiety and exhaustion often follow emotionally intense environments• simple ways to stay grounded while remaining connected to othersWant support calming emotional overwhelm at the nervous system level? My short course, Anxiety Relief: Training Your Nervous System for Safety, teaches simple, practical tools to help your body respond differently to anxiety triggers and emotional environments.Learn more here: https://yogiranger.com/anxiety-relief-courseNew to the podcast?

The episode identifies a structural shift in the MSP business model: security is no longer a discrete service or line item but has become the organizing principle for operations and accountability. This is driven by an industry-wide trend toward increased automation in both attack and defense, as well as a shift in liability and accountability from vendors to the MSPs themselves. Companies such as Acronis and Anthropic are highlighted for introducing tools that increase the rate and automation of threat discovery, while research and market analysis by Watchguard and Jay McBain indicate that the capacity to remediate, rather than discover, security threats now forms the operational bottleneck. The most consequential development referenced is the acceleration of security automation and vulnerability discovery, specifically through Anthropic's Project Glasswing and Watchguard's reporting of a 1,500% surge in new endpoint malware variants. Anthropic's approach—limiting broad release of its model due to potential misuse for rapid exploitation—was supported by partnerships with cloud and technology firms like AWS, Apple, Google, and Microsoft, backed by up to $100 million in usage credits. Watchguard's data demonstrates that while threat discovery is increasing, the rate of remediation has not kept pace, creating a supply-demand imbalance in skilled security operations. Further reinforcing this trend, Acronis has promoted a 24x7x365 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) tool positioned to let MSPs deliver always-on monitoring without managing a full security operations center. Meanwhile, broader channel and delivery ecosystem analysis by Jay McBain emphasizes that partners, rather than platform vendors, bear primary responsibility for steady-state customer environments. This confluence of developments shifts the value—and the risk—onto the operational capabilities and governance structures of MSPs. Other referenced solutions, such as Zero Networks' microsegmentation, underscore that containing damage, not just preventing access, is a new business imperative. The operational implication for MSPs and IT providers is a shift from measuring security by tools deployed to measuring and pricing security by demonstrated remediation throughput. Service contracts will need to specify not only what solutions are deployed, but also explicit commitments on response times, closure rates, and SLA-backed operating motions. A lack of clear remediation commitments raises unpriced liability as discovery rates outpace closure capacity. Providers are encouraged to separate vulnerability discovery reporting from remediation progress, build reporting layers that highlight closure rates, and reconsider flat-fee models that do not account for increased operational workloads and accountability risks. 00:00 Closure Is Finite 04:10 Close the Gap 06:32 Govern or Absorb 08:57 Why Do We Care?  Supported by:  Zero Networks ScalePad

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. US intelligence has assessed that around half of Iran’s ballistic missile launchers are still intact despite over a month of US and Israeli bombardment across the country. Fabian explains why this is not the measure to take of the campaign's success. We learn about the frequency of Iranian missiles shot at Israel and the damage that is being wrought, even as the IDF says it is turning to a new phase in its operations -- Iran's economy. Turning to Lebanon, Fabian describes the massive build-up of soldiers there, and an operation that saw the death of Sgt. First Class Guy Ludar, 21, and seriously wounded another from the Commando Brigade’s Maglan Unit. We hear what the war goals are for Lebanon, even as leaked statements from a high-ranking IDF officer indicate that it is not a total disarmament of the terrorist organization. All is somewhat quiet on the Gaza front, says Fabian, even as many soldiers are still stationed there, as well as the West Bank. The issue of a lack of manpower in the IDF was addressed over the holiday weekend with a surprise announcement that reservists will now be required to serve nine weeks instead of six.

The dominant structural shift highlighted is the movement of value from AI-driven features to the ownership and governance of the control plane—specifically, entities that set boundaries, maintain proof, and keep automated workflows within defined limits. This shift is evidenced by workforce polling from Quinnipiac University, business formation trends tracked by the Bank of America Institute and Census Bureau data, and product launches from vendors like TeamViewer and KnowBefore. These developments underscore a growing reliance on automation where traditional human oversight is minimized, and technology increasingly assumes direct control over work execution. The episode details workforce sentiment, citing a Quinnipiac University poll where only 15% of respondents expressed willingness to work for an AI boss, and 70% anticipated AI would reduce job opportunities. Bank of America Institute data notes a 15% year-over-year increase in high propensity businesses—those likely to launch—while businesses planning to hire have fallen by 4%. TeamViewer has introduced TIA Reporting, which generates dashboards via natural language prompts, reducing specialist requirements. KnowBefore's ADA Orchestration automates security awareness scheduling and execution, reportedly shortening setup times from hours to seconds. These examples show how vendors are deploying AI tools that replace specific manual oversight with algorithmic management. Supporting developments reinforce the governance gap. According to a CIO Dive report, 96% of C-suite leaders expect productivity gains from AI, yet 77% of employees report increased workloads, signaling misalignment between leadership intent and actual outcomes. Tech Bullion reveals 60% of organizations have AI integrated in at least one core function, with 65% using generative AI regularly, but fewer than a quarter have operationalized ethical AI frameworks. The Verge covers enhancements to Anthropics' tools that embed guardrails where organizational controls are lacking. Additional survey data from TechCrunch shows that usage of AI is growing while trust in its outputs remains weak; only 24% of respondents trust AI most of the time. Operationally, the implication is clear for MSPs and IT leaders: as organizations reduce human oversight and delegate more work to automation, the auditability, accountability, and control of automated workflows become direct contractual risk. Control layers—such as logging, exception handling, approval thresholds—must be productized and priced, not treated as informal advisory work. Liability for automation failures must be clearly assigned and managed through contractual terms, with automation incident response separated from standard support. Without enforceable governance and evidence of control, MSPs risk absorbing unpaid remediation work as clients expect both automation benefits and assurance of outcome. 00:00 Bossless Workforce 03:22 AI, No Guardrails 05:45 Govern or Absorb 08:41 Why Do We Care?  Supported by:  Nerdio HaloPSA  

The book of Ecclesiastes has puzzled readers for millennia with its unflinching observations about absurdity, meaninglessness, vanity, and futility. Biblical scholar Jesse Peterson joins Evan Rosa to discuss his book, Qoheleth and the Philosophy of Value, bringing contemporary philosophy into dialogue with this ancient text and reflecting on what happens when a sage confronts the gap between expectation and reality. "Can you view your work, your toil, not just as a means to a further end? Can you rather turn to simply enjoy the work itself?" Together they discuss the distinction between meaning and value, why Qoheleth denies lasting significance while affirming joy, the harm of death and the death of memory, Ecclesiastes and Camus's absurdism, and the book's surprising message about enjoyment as an intrinsic good. Episode Highlights "I think what's at the heart of the Book of Ecclesiastes is just to say, maybe not, maybe there isn't a direct line between what you do and what the result will be." "It's not just that you'll physically die, but meaning that you've accrued in your life, if there was such a thing, that dies with you." "In this moment of working on what I'm working on, whatever it is, I am fully alive." "You have a little piece of the pie, and just own it. Absorb yourself into whatever that may be." "Can you view your work, your toil, not just as a means to a further end? Can you rather turn to simply enjoy the work itself?"

My Guest: Scott Galloway is the New York Times bestselling author of books including The Four, The Algebra of Happiness, Post Corona, Adrift, and The Algebra of Wealth.  Notes: Key Learnings Routine speeds up time, novelty slows it down. If you want life to go fast, just spend it alone and have a routine and never bust out of that routine. What makes life interesting is diversity in people, because people are complicated, and relationships are complicated. Lean into your emotions to slow time down. If you see something that moves you, stop, think about it, ask yourself why it moves you, and try to cement that moment in your brain. Otherwise, you're not sleepwalking through life; you're sleep sprinting. "The greatest wasted resource in history is good intentions that don't get articulated." No matter how famous someone is, they love affirmation as much as anybody else. Good thoughts that don't get articulated are wasted. Absorb when you're upset and lean into emotions, good and bad. This sort of marks the day and slows things down. Otherwise, if you get up every morning, do the same thing, eat the same thing, have the same relationship, the week's just gonna go really fast. Reverse engineer your success to things that aren't your fault. What are the things that played a role in your success that you had no control over? Your luck, your good fortune. For Scott: big government, assisted lunch, Pell Grants, University of California, technology financed by middle-class taxpayers, DARPA, the internet, deep pools of capital, and acceptance of failure. His mom told him he had value every day. Scott's mom, every day, implicitly and explicitly, told him and communicated to him that he had value. That builds a basic confidence that manifests in different ways: the confidence to fail, approach strangers, believe you're worthy of love, that you'll add value to a company, and that you can ask for tens of millions of dollars from someone. When good things happened, he used to call his mom. Whether it was getting a bonus at Morgan Stanley or striking up a conversation with a woman at Starbucks and getting her number, Scott used to call his mom. Your parents can bask in your victory, and you can brag to your parents, and it's okay. If there's no one there with you, it's like it didn't happen. Scott travels for business and stays at really nice hotels, and inevitably gets upgraded to the penthouse or the George V in Paris when he's alone. But if there's no one there with you, it's like it didn't happen. Celebrate victories, tell people how much they mean to you. You have to call your friends, celebrate their victories, celebrate your own, and tell people how much they mean to you. Every day, no matter what, tell your kids you're proud of them and love them. No matter how much Scott's kids piss him off, at some point, he finds a way to say, "I'm proud of you, and I love you immensely. You know that, right?" He hopes they have that same kind of base or pillar of confidence he had his whole life. Having someone tell you they believe in you every day works. You don't have to be a baller or successful. Just having someone in your life and every day telling them they mean a lot to you, they can't help but not believe you after a while. Being a leader isn't about being the smartest person in the room. Scott used to think being a leader was being the smartest person in the room, and he had trouble, especially with other men, thinking if he acknowledged someone else was doing a good job, somehow that made him less impressive. You have so much currency as a founder or manager. If you're in a management or leadership role, much less a founder, you have so much currency to pull someone into a conference room and say, "You were outstanding in that meeting" or "I just read this, and I love this paragraph. God, where did you come up with this idea?" You literally see these people just light up. "If you're thinking it, say it." The instant you're thinking something positive about somebody, just tell them, text them, call them. Don't wait. We have a tendency to think other people are telepathic, that they must sense we think they're wonderful. No, they don't sense it. Articulate it. When you're on your deathbed, you're not gonna think "I gave too much praise at work and told too many people how much they meant to me." Young people need watering. If you don't give young people feedback and praise when they deserve it, it's like having a ton of capital and not spending it. Especially with young people, they need watering. Feedback is incredible compensation. Whenever someone does something good, Scott tries to remind himself via email. Then, when he does their review at the end of the year, it's like, " Wow, this dude is paying attention. That is a form of compensation. Give thoughtful reviews that show you understand them. Tell them what they need to develop to get to the next level. Pay for the courses they need. They're a single mom who needs flexibility and wants to make more money. That's compensation. "Become a clip machine." Certain people are clip machines: James Clear, Morgan Housel, Kat Cole, Scott Galloway. These are people who communicate ideas in ways that are instantly shareable and memorable. For leaders, becoming an effective communicator isn't optional anymore. You need to be able to inspire and move people. The ability to write well is the stem of storytelling. It forces you to manage your thoughts and think things through. It's difficult to be a great storyteller if you can't write at a competent level. Rank yourself across every medium and go deep on one. Look at every medium (texting, LinkedIn, short form video, TikTok, long form writing, speaking), rank yourself, listen to yourself, decide what your specialty is, and then go very deep into one. Figure out your medium and commit to being in the top 1%. Challenge yourself to be in the top 10% within a year, the top 1% within three years. Identify which medium you have skills in, then challenge yourself. If you're in the top 6,000 podcasts out of 600,000 that put out content every week, you're in the top 1%. "Social media may make you want to shower after you use it, but it's frightening how powerful it is." In terms of economic power and influence, it's frightening how powerful social media is right now. If you're a young person and you want to be influential or economically secure, you need to master it. Storytelling is the enduring skill to give your kids. Scott's core competence is storytelling. His superpower is attracting and retaining people who help leverage his skills. The most radical act in a capitalist society is not participation. Scott started Resist and Unsubscribe because action absorbs anxiety. He was sick of being virtuous and courageous on a keyboard or a mic and wanted to do something. "Ready, fire, fucking aim on this thing called life." Scott wants to dance like no one is watching. He's gonna be dead soon, and it's all going really fast. He doesn't want to look back and think about losing sponsors or what people thought was stupid. He wants to think, "Right on, I tried to do something." He wants to be that guy who was unafraid, who showed up with a carpool to try and make a difference. Your spending or lack thereof is a weapon hiding in plain sight. The government most quickly responded six years ago during COVID, not because tens of thousands of people were dying, but because the GDP crashed 31%. The president backs away from plans when the bond market or stock market goes down. Even a gnat on an elephant matters. Even if it's just a gnat on an elephant, enough gnats will take down an elephant. If you have economic security and people who love you unconditionally, you have an obligation to speak out. Sam Harris has this great saying: if you have economic security and people who love you unconditionally, then you have an obligation to speak out and speak your mind, because most people don't have that luxury. Do what makes you feel good about yourself. It's not easy being mediocre-looking; it takes real effort. Scott grew up very skinny with bad acne and thinks maybe he's a little too focused or self-conscious about his looks. America is ageist, and looks matter. New York is the ultimate tip of the spear for a capitalist society, and it's optimized for two people: hot women and rich guys. For everyone else, it's a soul-crushing experience. We can talk about the way the world should be and the way the world is. That's the way the world is. Start working out. Scott coaches young men: start working out. It's good for your head. It shows women and employers you're in shape, not just because it looks good (which it does), but because it reflects how you show up, that you have discipline, that you can commit to something. The rule of threes puts you in the top 5% of attractiveness. If you work out three times a week or more, if you spend at least 30 hours a week working outside of the house, and put yourself in the company of strangers (church group, nonprofits, sports league), just by doing those three things, you put yourself in the top 5% of attractiveness of young males. Anyone who's had great yeses has had a shit ton of no's. If you can be in the top 5% and learn how to mourn and move on from rejection, at some point, you'll be voluntarily celibate, which is awesome. There were hundreds of no's for you to get to a top podcast. You get used to no. No one has the right to a living or to reproduce. If you want to score above your class economically or romantically, get out a big spoon and get ready to eat shit. It's what everyone of us has done. "I'm constantly worried about my boys now." Scott didn't worry about his kids when they were little unless they were sick - they were safe and home. Now he's worried about them all the time: are they doing okay at school? Is the quiet one okay? His champagne toast moment would be celebrating his son's first year of college going well - having fun, a good friend group, a couple of dates, football games, and gearing up for sophomore year. Reflection Questions What things played a role in your success that you had no control over? Your luck, your good fortune. How does reverse engineering to those things change your perspective? Who in your life needs to hear that you're proud of them and that they mean a lot to you? When's the last time you actually said it? Rank yourself across every medium you participate in (texting, LinkedIn, video, writing, speaking). What's your specialty? Are you willing to commit to being in the top 1% of that medium within three years?

How you think about getting older might be more powerful than you realize. Scientists have uncovered an unexpected connection between people's beliefs about aging and what happens to them as the years go by. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12150226/ We're often warned not to reveal too much about ourselves. Oversharing can make people uncomfortable, right? Maybe. But Harvard Business School professor Leslie John argues the bigger problem may actually be the opposite — sharing too little. In her book Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing (https://amzn.to/3ME0EVt), she explains how thoughtfully sharing personal thoughts, experiences, and vulnerabilities can strengthen relationships, build trust, and even improve professional success. Humans have a strange relationship with technology. Some innovations instantly become essential while others quietly disappear. New technology can spark excitement, fear, resistance, and creativity all at once. Vanessa Chang, Director of Programs at Leonardo, the International Society for the Arts, Sciences, and Technology and author of The Body Digital: A Brief History of Humans and Machines from Cuckoo Clocks to ChatGPT (https://amzn.to/4cqHjBE), explores how people historically absorb new technologies — and how those tools reshape the way we interact with each other and the world. When you buy new clothes, it feels natural to wear them right away. After all, they're brand new. But “new” doesn't necessarily mean clean. In fact, clothing can go through quite a journey before it reaches your closet — one that may make you think twice before wearing it straight off the rack. https://www.southernliving.com/should-you-wash-new-clothes-before-wearing-11885557 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS QUINCE: Don't keep settling for clothes that don't last!

Have you ever noticed how your partner's bad mood can completely derail your day? Or how when your sister calls upset, suddenly your heart is racing even though nothing's wrong in your life? Maybe you walk into the office and instantly feel tense because your coworker is stressed, or you leave a phone call with your mom feeling drained and anxious for hours afterward.What's happening isn't a character flaw or a sign that you're "too sensitive." It's called co-regulation, and it's one of the most powerful forces in all your relationships. The problem? Most of us are doing it unconsciously, using patterns we learned as babies that no longer serve us.Today, you're going to learn exactly how co-regulation works in your brain and body, why your childhood experiences are still running the show in all your relationships, and most importantly, three practical skills you can use right now to stop the cycle of mutual dysregulation. By the end of this episode, you'll understand why you can't think your way out of emotional reactivity, and what to do instead.____________________________Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/what-is-co-regulationDownload The Co-Regulation Quick Start Guide: 5 Tools to Calm Your Nervous System in Any Relationship: https://abbymedcalf.com/co-regulation-guideJoin my online community, One Love Collective, on Substack: https://abbymedcalf.com/substack.
