How do we align the rapid, exponential rise of artificial intelligence with humanity's best interests before we reach a point of no return? In this classic throwback episode from our old Edge of AI Podcast, we sit down with tech visionary Eric Pulier, a prolific technologist who has founded over 15 companies, raised more than $1 billion, and led exits from IPOs to major mergers.In this deep dive, Eric explores his leadership roles as Co-Chair of the AI Coalition at the Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute and CEO of Vatom. He outlines the global push for AI ethics, the looming existential threats of synthetic biology and mass deepfakes, and why preserving human culture in local AI models is crucial to preventing algorithmic erasure.Eric also reflects on inventing the "Vatom" (the virtual atom) in early 2015, the precursor to modern smart NFTs, and explains why self-sovereign identity, tokenized real-world assets, and human-first connection will dictate the next generation of the internet.Support us through our Sponsors! ☕ Want to make content like ours?

Join the Accelerator today - Intake closes Sunday 26th. This week Sky and I get into the stuff that never makes it into a caption. We open with the goal question — do you always need something exciting pulling you forward, or are there dead patches where you're just going through the motions? I get put on the spot about the three biggest lessons from my first twelve months running a gym, and it's not the answer most people expect. We talk about whether hammering lead magnets on Instagram burns your audience out, the actual best way to follow up a lead, and what to do when your head's full of ten ideas and you can't pick one. Sky gets honest about why she's never once heard a hard "no" on a consult, and I go into the recruitment lesson from my old man that changed how I handle objections for good. We also properly answer two questions straight from this week's client check-ins — how to actually get ahead with content instead of doing it on the fly, and how to stop feeling "oh shit" about going self-employed. Last thing: Accelerator starts a week today. If you've been sat on this for two weeks, sort your shit out — Sunday's your last day to join.Show Notes00:00 – Sky's on hosting duty, Ant's out watching the World Cup final with his dad01:18 – Accelerator starts a week today — last day to join is Sunday02:14 – Do you always need an exciting goal, or are there times you're just going through the motions?06:40 – The biggest lesson from year one of gym ownership (it's not what you think)11:15 – If I keep posting lead magnets, will my audience get sick of being sold to?15:21 – Following up a lead: phone, email or WhatsApp — what actually works17:06 – How to manage your head when it's full of ten different ideas and goals19:11 – The 3 things we'd tell our younger selves to focus on first23:22 – How Sky's never had a hard "no" on a consult, and what that says about how she runs them27:10 – Chasing the no's — the recruitment lesson that changed how Nik handles objections30:19 – The real way to get ahead with content instead of doing it on the fly35:37 – How to stop feeling "oh shit" about going self-employed37:11 – Final word: stop thinking about it, get signed up

Join the AcceleratorI'm back after two weeks off, and we get straight into it — why the PT Business Accelerator is priced way below what it's worth (Ant's words, not mine), what actually predicts whether someone gets results from it, and then a run of proper Q&A: separating your work and personal phone, what makes a hook actually stop a scroll, how to raise your prices without losing your members, my honest take on consultation chats, Ant's biggest learnings from years of running them, the one trait every coach who makes it seems to share, and whether you should make a new small group client wait for the next training block.

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Skora, María José Munita and Seth “Creek” Creekmore talk about coaching Enneagram Type Threes. Type Threes – Striving to Feel Outstanding – display high integrity and genuine drive, but get painted as deceptive phonies in most Enneagram writing. The hosts push back on these misconceptions and share what they've learned from the Threes that they've coached. They've shown high integrity, strong goal orientation, and real desire to contribute, but the actual problem isn't fakery but a broken sense of worth. Mario and MJ break down the connection points through the "duck on the pond" dynamic, smooth on top and frantic underneath. They also break down why most Threes they've coached display high integrity and genuine drive, and what actually blocks them from real leadership.“I can't tell you how many times people have assumed that I'm a Type Three because I am self-employed and I have a lot on my plate. It's like if you're busy, and if you're in some way entrepreneurial and self-employed, then you must be a Three. ” -Creek [09:06]“I think the client's level of maturity has an impact on this. When a Three is immature or insecure, they often fall into the trap of highlighting. It's like I'm not sure if you're seeing what I'm doing so I've got to make sure that you see it. So I'm going to talk about my accomplishments, and I'm going to talk about great things and possibility and that sort of thing. And then as they grow and mature and settle into themselves a little bit, they just don't feel the need to make the point anymore, because their actions speak for themselves.” -Mario [19:45]“Threes have this built-in assumption that they have to demonstrate their worth, and maturity has to do with that, with understanding that they don't.” -María José [22:49]TIMESTAMPS[00:01] Intro[02:10] Striving to Feel Outstanding[06:31] Dismantling the misconceptions of Type Three[10:46] The connecting points[16:46] Guarding their true self[21:46] Showing people their worth[29:47] The subtypes[35:21] Recent example of the ATA process[40:18] Purpose as the Accelerator[43:04] Final thoughtsConnect with us:Awareness to ActionATA on DemandIG: @ataenneagrampodYouTube: ATA Podcast NetworkEmail: info@awarenesstoaction.comSend a voice message: speakpipe.com/AwarenesstoActionMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MoviePod: Thinking Well & WhySubstack: mariosikora.substack.comBook: How to Think Well, and Why: The Awareness to Action Guide to Clear ThinkingMaría José Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @_creekmorePod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional OptimismPod: International Enneagram Association PodcastPod: Thinking Well & Why

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.A child grows up learning that love can arrive in a barrel, but comfort cannot. That tension sits at the heart of our conversation with Grenadian director, producer, and creative industry strategist Meschida Phillip, whose documentary work asks what migration costs families long after the plane takes off. We trace how the Grenada Revolution, early separation, and years of “waiting” shaped her sense of connection and pushed her toward filmmaking as a way to name what Caribbean families often keep silent. Meschida shares the story behind her feature documentary Scars of Our Mother's Dreams, grounded in Dr. Claudette Crawford-Brown's concept of “barrel children,” where parents migrate for opportunity while children remain at home with relatives. We talk about emotional trauma, reunification, and why seeing these stories on screen lands differently than reading them. Meschida also pulls back the curtain on responsible documentary practice, from deep research and interviews to building a film that works as an archive and a conversation starter for Caribbean history, culture, and healing. We then zoom out to the film industry itself, including Caribbean Tales Media Group's Cross-Continental Forum and what Black diaspora collaboration can look like when it's intentional. Meschida breaks down the real barriers Caribbean filmmakers face funding infrastructure, banking access, co-production limits, and distribution networks and paints a vivid vision of Global South co-production funds, direct Caribbean Africa pipelines, and a market that rewards cultural specificity instead of asking creators to dilute it. Meschida Philip is a filmmaker, producer, creative-industry strategist, Executive Director of Mprojekts Creative Group, and Founder and Festival Director of the 12°N, 61°W Grenada Film Festival. She is a director, producer, and creative industries strategist working at the intersection of film production and screen industry development in the Caribbean. With over 20 years of professional experience, including more than a decade leading regional initiatives, her work focuses on positioning the Caribbean as an originating creative economy, capable of developing, financing, and exporting its own stories through equitable international co-production. Her work spans both content creation and industry development, with a focus on co-production frameworks, talent pipelines, and market access for creators in small island developing states.This episode was created in collaboration with Caribbean Tales Media Group to highlight the annual Cross-Continental Forum, a curated, decolonial co-production hub specifically designed to connect Black producers across Africa, the Caribbean, Canada, Europe and the Americas. It offers a structured pathway from information sharing to treaty-driven deals and market access. As an intensive hybrid accelerator, it functions as a “strategic gateway” to co-productions, beginning with an online Accelerator covering legal, financial and distribution frameworks, followed by two in-person events including a pitch showcase.Editor's Note: Philips participated in the Cross-Continental Forum with Canary, a documentary project that was in development at the time. She is credited as the project's director and co-producer. Scars of Our Mother's Dreams was not the project presented at the Forum, however it was screened at the festival. Support the showConnect with Strictly Facts -  Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube | Website Looking to read more about the topics covered in this episode?

Today's encore is at the heart of the Quiet Builder philosophy. The question is, “How do we design a business that supports our lives, not swallows it?” This becomes increasingly important as the world grows more uncertain and our responsibilities grow daily. This episode is for anyone building a business that fits into real life, and not the other way around.You'll Learn:My story of stepping back and reassessing my business3 anchors for building a life-first business in an uncertain world:Design for margin, not maximum.Clarity comes from creating margin, not hustling.Designing for margin is how we stay well enough to serve others.Build products that don't require your constant presence.Design for asymmetry, where value isn't tied to one-to-one time.A life-first business scales impact, not just hours.Plan around what you can't plan for.Your business should be designed to absorb disruption, not collapse under it.Strategies that work for me are “Walden months,” a hard growth ceiling on STC, and allowing maximum flexibility to travel when loved ones need extra help. To sum up today's topic: “A resilient business doesn't break when life happens; it bends with grace.”---Ready to launch (or grow) your online course?Haven is our membership for therapists who want to turn their expertise into sustainable online income through courses, content, and simple systems that actually work.Our next Accelerator, Building Authoritative Guides That Stand Out In The Age of AI, begins soon.Learn more here: https://melvinvarghese.kartra.com/page/july2026

Why Join the Old Capital Multifamily Accelerator?                      Most aspiring apartment investors don't fail because they lack information—they fail because they don't know how to turn that information into their first acquisition. The Old Capital Multifamily Accelerator Program is designed to bridge that gap. Learn by Working on Real Deals Forget hypothetical case studies. You'll underwrite current apartment opportunities, analyze actual financials, and participate in the same decision-making process experienced investors use before submitting a Letter of Intent (LOI). Learn Directly from Experienced Operators Gain access to seasoned apartment owners, commercial lenders, attorneys, contractors, property managers, brokers, and other industry professionals who have successfully closed and operated multifamily investments. Ask questions, receive honest feedback, and learn from their real-world experiences—both successes and mistakes. Follow a Proven Roadmap Instead of trying to figure everything out on your own, you'll follow a structured step-by-step process covering acquisitions, underwriting, due diligence, capital raising, financing, asset management, and property management. Each session builds on the previous one, giving you a clear path from finding a deal to closing one. Build Confidence Before You Risk Capital Practice negotiating LOIs, underwriting deals, reviewing due diligence, and presenting investment opportunities in a collaborative environment. You'll develop the skills and confidence needed before committing your own money to a transaction. Stay Current with Today's Market Apartment investing has changed dramatically over the past few years. The Accelerator focuses on today's lending environment, interest rates, insurance costs, operating challenges, and capital markets so you're learning strategies that work now—not what worked five years ago. Join a Community That Continues Beyond Four Weeks The Accelerator isn't just a class—it's a community. After the initial four-week program, members continue learning through monthly case studies, quarterly property tours, market updates, and ongoing networking with active apartment investors. Expand Your Professional Network Many successful apartment acquisitions begin with relationships. You'll build connections with investors, lenders, brokers, operators, and potential partners who can help you source deals, raise capital, solve problems, and grow your business. Move from Education to Execution The ultimate goal isn't simply to teach apartment investing—it's to help you take action. Whether your objective is buying your first apartment community or becoming a stronger syndicator, the Accelerator provides the knowledge, accountability, resources, and community to help you get there. The difference isn't more education. It's having experienced professionals and a community walking beside you as you pursue your first—or next—apartment acquisition.

I spent a substantial amount of my childhood sitting next to my mom on the folding chairs of Weight Watchers meetings and Nutrisystem appointments. Each week they weighed her and sent her home with numbers to track and portions to control. She struggled with her weight her whole life, and the constant counting only ever made things difficult for her.If you've ever sat at dinner doing the math in your head while everyone else just enjoyed the meal, this week's episode is for you.The ridiculous way to lose weight is calorie counting. The best way is finding the escape. Jarrod and I lost 75 pounds between us, have happily kept it off, and never counted one. On this episode we get into how it worked and the way God had it figured out long before the app creators did.

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. You'll Learn:The guilt loop running in my head (“I became a therapist to help people, not to sell things.”)Mindset shift that made it all make sense to meEthical selling: a path to transformation with deep care and clarity3 sales mistakes therapists make—and what to do instead:Thinking “sales equals sleazing”Think of aligned sales as clear communication with a gentle and generous invitation.Avoiding the “ask” entirelyIf someone is clearly interested, don't make them guess how to work with you.

It affects your decisions.And better decisions build better businesses. Business Accelerator Program

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Skora, María José Munita and Seth “Creek” Creekmore tackle coaching Type Five. This type – Striving to Feel Detached – is often misread as cold as they create an emotional buffer between themselves and the messiness of the world. The hosts break down their key insight which is that Fives aren't unfeeling. They're often highly sensitive and defend hard because they care. Mario and MJ discuss this type's strengths, such as objectivity, perspective, and sharp advisory work, and their blind spots, which are intellectual arrogance, passive-aggressive communication and treating abstractions as safer than actual people. Coaching Type Five to move toward real engagement without sacrificing the boundaries they need helps them create space instead of overwhelm and shift how they operate.TIMESTAMPS[00:01] Intro[02:58] Why Fives are deeply misunderstood[08:06] The hidden sensitivity behind the detachment[12:25] The Connecting Points[16:45] Intentional engagement over avoidance[23:58] Other strengths and weaknesses[31:33] Redefining healthy detachment[35:21] An example with the ATA Process[39:30] Difference between Type Five and Type Nine[41:25] The Accelerator: conscious practiceConnect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on DemandIG: @ataenneagrampodYouTube: ATA Podcast NetworkEmail: info@awarenesstoaction.comSend a voice message: speakpipe.com/AwarenesstoActionATA's Subtypes And Instinctual Biases Two-Day Workshop: thesubtypes.comMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MoviePod: Thinking Well & WhySubstack: mariosikora.substack.comBook: How to Think Well, and Why: The Awareness to Action Guide to Clear ThinkingMaría José Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @_creekmorePod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional OptimismPod: International Enneagram Association PodcastPod: Thinking Well & Why

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.

Wait...you don't have a gym?  It's a question we get all the time.Especially because when we redesigned our clinic from the ground up, we could have built anything we wanted.A dedicated gym space.  Fancy equipment.  Treadmills.  Squat racks. All the toys.Instead?We made our treatment rooms bigger.In this episode, we discuss how to think strategically about clinic space, equipment, and designing a practice around your actual patients—not what your last employer had, what you see on social media, or what everyone else seems to be doing.We cover: ✅ Why your treatment philosophy (Ethos) should drive your decisions ✅ How to think critically about expensive equipment purchases ✅ Why you don't need everything right away ✅ Creative alternatives to dedicated gym spaces ✅ Matching your environment to your patient population ✅ When investing in equipment absolutely makes senseOne of the biggest takeaways:Every square foot in your practice should serve a purpose.Build the clinic that supports your patients and your style of care—not someone else's.Business Accelerator Program

As a follow up to last week's episode where I shared my new perspective on a problem I was experiencing in my business, I pick up on a related theme but turn the frame to you. This episode talks about a common theme for yoga teachers, which has to do with wanting to do a particular thing in their class or as a teacher but being worried about the outcome or what other people will think of them. As you listen, I share a few ideas that might resonate with you and you can also think of what comes to mind when you hear it.    I end this episode describing some of the common problems yoga teachers have and an approach to help. Listen to see if you can relate.   As I mention, here are some teaching resources you can get:    https://barebonesyoga.lpages.co/tips-for-new-teachers/   https://barebonesyoga.lpages.co/how-to-create-a-signature-sequence/   If you're ready to get help, check out my  Accelerator program:     https://barebonesyoga.thinkific.com/courses/Yoga-Anatomy-Accelerator  

Launched in 2022, the Nestlé Income Accelerator is a family centred approach designed to help close the living income gap for cocoa farming families and reduce child labour risks. The program encourages change at household and farm level and rewards practices that contribute to improved livelihoods, environmental stewardship and community resilience. During this webinar, Nestlé shared the latest results of the program that is accelerating impact at scale, drawing on an independent impact assessment by the KIT Institute, insights from participating households, and feedback from partners implementing the initiative on the ground. The discussion brought together independent expert, an implementing partner, a cocoa farmer and a community advocate offering an opportunity for open exchange on what is working, what needs improvement, and how lessons learned can inform future approaches across the sector.    

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.

The WFP uses AI for real-time and forecasted food security, and its Scout optimization tool to balance cost and speed across procurement, warehousing, and routing, saving $6M in 18 months and targeting $25M annually. He describes responsible AI, human oversight, prioritization by vulnerability, last-mile constraints, and WFP's Munich Innovation Accelerator model and partnership needs. ===== Guest: Bernhard Kowatsch Bernhard Kowatsch is the Director Global Accelerator and Ventures at the United Nations (UN) World Food Programme (WFP).

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?

Josh Browder is my favourite emerging manager. As the Founder of Browder Capital he has been the first check into unicorns like Micro1, Owner.com and Yuzu Health to name a few. He turned his Thiel Fellowship Grant of $100K into a whopping $10M angel portfolio. All new investments move into Josh's Four Seasons Residence where he then trains them on company building. They are only allowed to leave when they raise their seed round. In addition to this, Josh is the Founder & CEO @ DoNotPay, the now profitable company that has raised $22M from Marc Andreessen and others.  AGENDA: 00:00 Why I believe young founders make the best founders 02:10 What do I look for in founders I'm investing in? 10:00 How I test for founder commitment pre-investment 11:00 What do I want to see in the childhoods of the entrepreneurs that I back? 12:05 Why I make founders live with me in my Four Seasons residence after investing 14:00 There are three reasons why pre-seed companies fail and how I solve for them 15:45 What do I look for in a team to assure me they will last? 16:50 Is $5 million post still attainable in this world? 17:15 Should we be worried about the increasing levels of fraud at the early stages? 18:10 Which Silicon Valley investor was the most impressive? 20:00 Do VCs really add value? 20:50 Does university carry less value than ever and should founders drop out if they have a dream and an idea? 24:00 The advice of one lawyer changed the entire trajectory of this multi-million dollar company 28:10 I would never invest in someone that I met over Zoom 29:20 Are all the best founders you invest in delusional? 31:10 What is the biggest benefit of being a Thiel Fellow? 36:20 The problem of accelerators and why artificial constraints can enforce quality 38:20 How we used Mark Zuckerberg's house as a viewing instrument tool to get users 41:20 My pre-seed cheque in Micro One is now worth hundreds of millions and my lessons 43:20 The biggest mistake VCs are making in assessing founders 44:10 Why I will never tell the entrepreneur what to build and why I place little value on ideas 47:00 Why kingmaking is real and why you should accept half the price from a tier one firm 49:00 My biggest lessons on reserve investing 53:00 Why price rounds are bullshit and we should do more SAFEs 54:20 What all founders need to know about signing with a VC 55:10 Single biggest advice to founders on how to get the best price 57:30 What role does not exist today that will be massive in five years' time? 59:10 Stocks are bullshit.

A story by one of the inventors of science fiction: H. G. Wells, "The New Accelerator"

A year ago, VentureFuel Founder & CEO Fred Schonenberg sat down with Kasey Cronquist, President of the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council and the North American Blueberry Council, to discuss the launch of the Blueberry Boost Accelerator — a first-of-its-kind program created in partnership with VentureFuel to spark innovation across the blueberry industry. We're re-releasing this conversation to celebrate the return of the Blueberry Boost Accelerator for Year 2 following a successful inaugural cohort. Applications are now open for startups developing innovative blueberry-based products and solutions, with the program continuing to provide founders access to mentorship, commercialization support, industry leaders, and potential investment opportunities. In this episode, Kasey shares why the blueberry industry saw an opportunity to think beyond traditional consumer marketing to unlock growth through startups, emerging technologies, and product innovation. From functional foods and better-for-you snacks to ingredient innovation and new consumer experiences, he explains how the industry is creating more occasions, formats, and ways for consumers to engage with blueberries. Entrepreneurs interested in learning more can join the virtual information session on Thursday, May 14. Visit www.blueberryboostaccelerator.com to learn more.
