Today's encore is on what therapists often get wrong about selling their first online course, considering all the assumptions we make and the misconceptions we hold about online courses. I'm bringing full transparency to today's topic as I share what I've learned through my years of experience with online courses.

A breakthrough drug gives two men access to a world where ordinary life appears frozen, turning a quiet seaside afternoon into something almost impossible to comprehend. But once they begin treating time itself like a playground, a dangerous problem emerges that neither of them anticipated. The New Accelerator by H. G. Wells. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. H. G. Wells is best known for classics like The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, and The Invisible Man, but his shorter fiction often contains some of his most inventive ideas. Today's story asks a fascinating question: what would happen if a scientific discovery allowed you to experience hours while the rest of the world experienced only seconds? Published in the December 1901 issue of The Strand Magazine,  on page 622, The New Accelerator by H. G. Wells… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A stranded explorer on Jupiter's frozen moon discovers that the greatest danger is not the brutal landscape but the choices made when desperation takes hold. When an alien race reveals powers far beyond human understanding, Hugh Betancourt must decide whether some discoveries are too valuable to bring home.

Kendra MacDonald Steers to the Blue Economy at Canada's Ocean Supercluster

The ocean produces about half the oxygen we breathe, absorbs roughly 30% of the carbon dioxide we emit, and takes up about 90% of the excess heat those emissions trap, according to the United Nations. It is the planet's largest life-support system — and also its least-funded one. Of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, the goal for life below water consistently draws the least money. Canada, which has the longest coastline in the world, is trying to flip that equation, and you can watch it happen close to real time.Our guest this week is Kendra MacDonald, CEO of Canada's Ocean Supercluster, a national, industry-led effort to grow what's come to be called the blue economy. Under her leadership, the Supercluster has grown into a community of roughly 1,000 members co-investing in more than 150 projects. She came to the role after 25 years at Deloitte, where she served as Chief Audit Executive, and she runs it from St. John's, Newfoundland. The model is built on co-investment: at least two companies put money in, often alongside Indigenous communities, researchers, and global corporations, so no single player carries the risk alone. The projects range from graphene hull coatings that cut a ship's fuel use to wave-powered desalination and the $4.4 million Membertou Electric Lobster Boat, billed as Canada's first zero-emission commercial fishing vessel, led by the Membertou First Nation.Kendra's thesis fits in seven words: you can go faster alone, but farther together. In our conversation, she's candid about where that gets hard — most of these collaborations are small companies that don't individually hold every capability, and the upfront work of sorting out who owns which piece of intellectual property is what separates the partnerships that succeed from the ones that stall. She's just as candid about the catch: the Supercluster is funded by the Government of Canada to de-risk small Canadian firms, and when those firms succeed, they're often acquired by international buyers — the value-capture problem at the heart of every public innovation program. That tension between strong science and thin capital, she says, keeps her up at night, and it points back to the blue-finance gap. It also shapes how she talks about aquaculture, which in 2022 surpassed wild capture as the world's main source of farmed aquatic animals, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, and is now the fastest-growing source of animal protein. Kendra rejects the idea that ocean health and productivity are in trade-off, arguing that a healthier ocean is more productive. And just before we recorded, the Trump administration reopened nearly half a million square miles of the Pacific to commercial fishing, the third such rollback in little more than a year. One model treats the ocean as a commons to protect and co-invest in; the other treats marine protection as an obstacle to clear. Kendra thinks the contrast opens a door for Canada to lead.To learn more about the Ocean Supercluster, visit oceansupercluster.ca. MacDonald writes about ocean-economy investment on her Substack, Saltwater Signals, and she's easy to find on LinkedIn.

Why does sex sometimes feel like a chore or worse, a pain? And does your GP really care what your "down there" looks like during a pap smear? In this episode, Claire Murphy and Dr. Mariam dive deep into the complexities of sexual health and pelvic wellness. They are joined by sexual medicine consultant Dr. Karen Freilich to break down the science of dyspareunia (painful intercourse). From the "Car Alarm" theory of pain to the "Accelerator and Brake" model of desire, we explore why your body might be tensing up and how to hit the reset button. Plus, in Med School, we tackle a viral TikTok myth: Is women's saliva more acidic than men's, and does that mean we're doomed to more cavities? We look at the research (or lack thereof) and why "pink" toothpaste isn't a thing. And, in the Quick Consult, Dr. Mariam answers Kayla’s burning question: When you're in the stirrups for a cervical screening, can the doctor see your butthole?

In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, Jon Teater discusses various aspects of land management, focusing on biodiversity, the importance of perennial food systems, and the intricacies of hinge cutting. He shares personal experiences from his properties, emphasizing the significance of integrating family into land management and the impact of water cycles on soil health. The conversation also delves into the techniques and strategies of hinge cutting, highlighting its benefits and potential risks. Takeaways Biodiversity is crucial for a healthy ecosystem. Planting evergreen trees can enhance landscape diversity. Perennial food systems reduce maintenance and provide consistent food sources. Water cycles are affected by climate change and need to be managed. Hinge cutting can create habitat but requires careful planning. Integrating family into land management fosters appreciation for nature. Soil health is essential for plant growth and ecosystem balance. Diversity in plant species supports wildlife and improves habitat quality. Understanding local ecology is key to effective land management. Hinge cutting should be used strategically to avoid over-application.   Social https://whitetaillandscapes.com/ https://www.facebook.com/whitetaillandscapes/ https://www.instagram.com/whitetail_landscapes/?hl=en Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

John Haggerty brings more than 25 years of product leadership experience at companies like Datasite, Prodege, and Highway.ai. As co-founder and CEO of BiasHawk, John leverages his expertise in product management, behavioral psychology, and AI to develop an AI-powered platform that acts like a behavioral clinical psychologist to diagnose cognitive bias and heuristics in other AI models. In this episode of Product Momentum, John joins Sean and Dan to explore how AI is reshaping product work while also introducing new risks. John's message is clear: as AI accelerates execution, product leaders must confront the invisible risks that come with AI and double down on critical thinking, context, and judgment to deliver quality decisionmaking. AI as an Accelerator, Not a Replacement AI is dramatically compressing the time required to execute product work. Tasks that once took months can now be completed in hours. As we discover every day, speed does not eliminate the need for thoughtful product management. John argues that it merely shifts where product managers can and should focus their energy. “As AI expedites the execution process,” John says, “it also allows us to automate the areas of our work where we really need to be involved in cognitive thinking, reasoning, and creativity.” The Hidden Risk: Bias in AI Decision-Making Large language models inherit the same cognitive biases found in human thinking, John adds. These biases influence not just outputs, but the reasoning behind decisions we make. “It's not what the decision is or what the output is, it's more about how the AI model arrived at it.” This distinction is critical for product teams. Without understanding how AI arrives at conclusions, teams risk introducing flawed logic into their products, especially in high-stakes areas like hiring, healthcare, and financial management. Monitoring AI: A New Responsibility for Product Teams To address these challenges, John launched BiasHawk – an AI platform designed to monitor and evaluate AI systems for cognitive bias. The goal is not just testing outputs, but continuously assessing decision quality over time. “We all understand that these systems are designed to evolve. They're designed to change. They're designed to drift. But who's monitoring that to make sure that decision quality stays where it’s supposed to be.” As AI continues to evolve, the role of the product manager becomes even more critical — not less so. Execution may be faster, but judgment, context, and ethical responsibility remain firmly within our human domain. John Haggerty, in his own words: [06:50] AI is compressing execution time, allowing us to automate some of the tasks that we do as product professionals: cognitive thinking, reasoning, creativity. [10:22] There’re lots of really good AI tools out there right now, but what there isn’t out there is anything that tests the fairness of our decisionmaking. [16:04] Great. You’ve used AI to improve productivity by 20%. But what happens when that breaks? What if there’s bias and heuristics in these LLMs. Who’s catching that? [17:55] Critical AI systems have the same blind spots, the same bad habits, that we as humans have. And why not? They’re built off of the flawed content we created. [21:41] I don’t think a LLM could ever get depressed. But we have standard behavioral assessments that we could administer to an LLM — to find out where it falls with these biases and with the decision-making process it’s using. [27:40] As humans, we’re make mistakes. Because AIs are built on what we know, those same mistakes are being repeated. Now we have AI learning from AI, and those mistakes are being amplified. [30:59] The ‘why’ will always need to come from a human. At the end of it all, that’s what Product is.

Courtney Reimer's career trajectory reveals a profound evolution in how professionals navigate the intersection of corporate ambition and personal autonomy. After decades of climbing the ladder at prestigious organizations, she reached a critical inflection point that fundamentally altered her perspective on work and legacy. Being laid off multiple times throughout her media career forced her to confront an uncomfortable truth: the energy and loyalty she invested in corporate entities yielded minimal personal returns. This realization sparked a fundamental shift in how she views success, moving away from corporate validation toward building something that reflects her values and provides genuine autonomy over her creative decisions and daily operations. Courtney's insights about the podcast industry and content creation reveal a sophisticated understanding of what separates sustainable ventures from those destined to fail. Her central thesis—that not everyone should start a podcast—stems from recognizing that most people underestimate the operational demands required for success, from maintaining consistent publishing schedules to managing guest coordination and technical production. Her work across vastly different client types has taught her that the common denominator across all successful ventures is intentionality and strategic thinking about audience impact.
