Danny Bernstein, Founder & CEO, Reservoir joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss Physical AI and the growing role it is playing in agriculture.Currently, less than 2% of this high-value agricultural sector is automated, creating a significant growth opportunity that Reservoir is positioned to capture through a startup incubator specifically designed for Physical AI and specialty crops.By utilizing a 40-acre farm in Salinas paired with an adjacent 6,000-square-foot prototyping studio, Reservoir offers startups immediate access to a commercial testing ground. This infrastructure eliminates the traditional six-to-nine-month delay between raising venture capital and deploying on a real farm, allowing founders to roll their machines directly into the field.Reservoir's methodology emphasizes deep rural integration to solve complex labor and economic challenges. By encouraging founders to immerse themselves in local farming communities, Reservoir helps startups build trust and fit their solutions into existing agricultural cost structures. This approach has enabled successful innovations ranging from AI-powered drones for bird mitigation to specialized disease detection for vineyards.Reservoir's Physical AI ecosystem functions as the Olympic Village of Ag Tech, hosting dense cohorts of international and domestic startups working side by side. This collaborative environment enables companies to share foundational technologies while gaining direct access to major agricultural incumbents and corporate partners.To further fuel this ecosystem, Reservoir operates a $50 million early-stage venture fund dedicated to ag tech and Physical AI applications.Looking ahead, Danny envisions Reservoir expanding to five or six locations across the American West, with active and planned sites in Sonoma County, the Central Valley, Washington State, and Arizona.By elevating ag tech's position within the global autonomy economy, Reservoir aims to drive double-digit automation adoption within five years, fundamentally transforming rural workforce development and securing the global food supply.Episode Chapters00:00 Less than 2% of Specialty Crop Agriculture is Automated07:32 Physical AI on Farms13:35 The Six to Nine Month Farm Access Problem18:49 Inside Reservoir Farms26:01 The Olympic Village of Ag Tech32:29 Building Trust with Farmers43:19 The Growth of Automation and Autonomy on Farms47:50 The Future of Automation and Autonomy on Farms--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the definitive media brand covering the Autonomy Economy™.

I'm excited to introduce you to a new friend this week on the podcast. Her name is Kim Patton, and she's an author as well as a foster and adoptive mom living in North Carolina with her husband, Kevin, and their daughters, Eden and Shiloh. Her journey into foster parenting and eventually adoption came after she and her husband endured years of infertility. That's obviously something my wife Emily and I can relate to, and I'm so grateful Kim let us in on her experience. It's an amazing example of dealing with deferred dreams and accepting that God's will is different from our own. I love how she explains the ways in which she's found beauty through it all.A big part of our conversation centers around her latest project, the Foster Mama Journal, which was created specifically for foster moms and families. Foster care can be a rather difficult endeavor, and Kim designed this journal to help foster moms process what they're experiencing and reflect on what God may be teaching them along the way.Kim shares about the ups and downs of foster and adoptive parenting, the lessons God has taught her through those experiences, and how writing has helped her navigate difficult seasons. We also talk about her broader writing journey and some of the books she's published over the years.If you've ever been connected to foster care or adoption, or simply walked through a season that felt heavy and uncertain, I think you'll find a lot to resonate with in Kim's story.You can learn more about Kim and her work, including Foster Mama Journal, online at kimpatton.com, on Instagram @fostermamafriend, and on Substack. She's also the host of the Book Therapy Podcast.I'd also love to connect with you on Substack, where I write essays and share updates about future episodes.

CONTENT WARNING - The opinions of the host and our guests have not been sanitized or scientifically tested so please consume at your own risk. In this episode, we sit down with Jill Burgon, a clinical social worker who specializes in helping adoptive families navigate the unique emotional and behavioral challenges that can come with adoption. Jill's path to becoming an adoption-focused therapist began with her own personal experience as an adoptive mother. After realizing there were basically zero tools or therapeutic resources available to help families like hers, Jill made a life-changing decision in her 50s, she went back to school, got two masters degrees and became the professional she wished she had when raising her adopted son. Today, she helps adoptive parents better understand trauma, attachment, and the specialized support adopted children often need to thrive. In this conversation, we explore the realities of adoptive parenting, the hidden challenges families face, and why Jill believes the right tools and understanding can change the trajectory of an adopted child's life.

I sat down with Kat from Space and Time to talk about what real institutional adoption actually looks like. While crypto Twitter feels bearish, banks like JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs are hiring entire teams focused on digital assets. Space and Time has already onboarded over 100,000 students in Southeast Asia for verifiable education credentials, shipped a zero-knowledge proof for databases, and is working with major institutions on tokenized assets and compliant stablecoin reward distribution. We dive into AI-powered vibe coding, why surviving the bear market matters more than anything else, and why the next wave of builders will have access to on-chain data like never before. --- CONNECT ---Space and Time: https://spaceandtime.io/https://www.linkedin.com/company/space-and-time-db/https://discord.com/invite/spaceandtimeDBTwitter/X - Space and Time: https://twitter.com/SpaceandTimeDB--- KEY POINTS WITH TIMESTAMPS ---• [00:00:00] Space and Time has onboarded over 100,000 students in Southeast Asia for verifiable education credentials• [00:02:00] Major university partnerships expanding in both Southeast Asia and the US• [00:03:00] Dream Space - AI vibe coding platform allowing non-developers to build apps and smart contracts• [00:04:00] Institutional adoption is the biggest growth area - stablecoin issuers, tokenized assets, major banks• [00:06:00] Despite bearish sentiment on crypto Twitter, institutions like JP Morgan, US Bank, Fidelity, and Goldman Sachs are more bullish than ever• [00:07:00] Banks are hiring entire teams of digital asset specialists, not just single roles• [00:09:00] 98% of stablecoin market is USDT/USDC, but new categories will emerge as adoption expands• [00:11:00] Marketing in crypto changes dramatically between bull and bear markets - focus on real value proposition and real customers• [00:14:00] Space and Time invented a patented zero-knowledge proof specifically for databases, making data computations fast and efficient• [00:18:00] Nearly $2 trillion of institutional capital waiting on the sidelines to enter crypto over next 2-5 yearsDisclaimerNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

This Week at Genesis | Ephesians 1:1–14 Nick Fox kicked off our new series in Ephesians by walking through the opening passage of Paul's letter and the powerful reminder of who we are in Christ. In these first verses, Paul keeps returning to one phrase: “in Christ.” It's a simple idea, but it carries incredible depth. Through Jesus we are chosen, redeemed, forgiven, and brought into God's family. Paul describes it as adoption—a picture of God lovingly bringing us in and giving us a new identity that isn't based on what we've done, but on His grace. This passage also reminds us that God's work didn't start with us. Before the foundation of the world, God had a plan to bring everything together in Christ—and we're invited into that story. Because of Jesus, we now live as people who are loved, chosen, and sealed with the Holy Spirit as a promise of what's to come.

What does it really mean to be adopted by God? In this message from the Made New series, we explore one of the most powerful identity truths in Scripture: if you are in Christ, you are a child of God. Adoption doesn't just change your present identity — it secures your eternal future. Through John 1, Romans 8, and Ephesians 1, this sermon shows how God gives us a new position, a new relationship, and a new identity in His family. Whether your experience with fatherhood brings warmth or pain, this message points to the perfect love of a heavenly Father who chose you, welcomes you, and calls you His own.New to Friends Church?

This week we welcome back Niki Black to unpack the findings from the newly released 2026 Legal Industry Report from 8am The conversation centers on a legal profession moving into a new phase of AI adoption, where individual lawyers are embracing general purpose AI tools at a striking pace, while many firms still lack even basic policies or training. Niki explains that this disconnect is especially visible among solo, small, and mid-sized firms, where limited resources often slow formal governance even as day-to-day use rises fast.A major theme of the discussion is the widening gap between personal experimentation and institutional readiness. Niki notes that lawyers are not waiting for permission, and many are already relying on AI to support research, drafting, and routine work. At the same time, firms are struggling to provide guidance, training, and guardrails. The episode highlights the growing risk of shadow AI in legal practice, especially when lawyers and staff turn to unsanctioned tools to keep pace with client demands. For smaller firms, the answer is not elaborate bureaucracy, but practical direction, clear expectations, and a recognition that even a modest policy is better than none.The conversation also turns to client expectations and the economic pressure AI is placing on the traditional law firm model. Greg and Marlene press Niki on whether firms are truly ready to move away from the billable hour as AI compresses the time needed to complete legal work. Niki argues that large firms face deep structural obstacles because compensation systems, staffing models, and internal economics remain tied to hourly billing. Still, she sees pressure building from in-house counsel, boutique competitors, and smaller firms that use technology to deliver comparable work at lower cost. The result is a market that may resist change, but not escape it.Another standout part of the episode explores how AI is reshaping access to justice. Niki points to the promise of generative AI as a force multiplier for legal aid lawyers and public defenders, especially when paired with trusted tools and better funding. She rejects the idea that technology alone will solve the justice gap, but makes a strong case that AI, combined with stronger institutional support, helps lawyers serve more people with better results. At the same time, the hosts and Niki acknowledge the risks of a two-tiered system, where wealthier clients benefit from high quality tools while vulnerable users face lower quality, error-prone outputs.By the end of the episode, the conversation expands from AI tools to a broader structural shift across firms, clients, and law schools. Niki sees the next three to five years as a period of deep change, where pricing, training, competition, and professional expectations all evolve at once. She also shares her own methods for keeping up, including RSS feeds, trusted blogs, and LinkedIn, with a few playful complaints about Substack making life more complicated. The episode leaves listeners with a clear message: the biggest issue is no longer whether AI will affect legal practice. It already is. The real question is whether the profession can adapt fast enough to manage the consequences wisely.Listen on mobile platforms:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | Substack[Special Thanks to ⁠Legal Technology Hub⁠ for their sponsoring this episode.] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jerry David DeCicca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Transcript:

With the introduction of Agentic AI, autonomous "everything" is all the rage. But we've been burned by automation in the past. Remember the days of Intrusion Prevention Systems and why we never put them into blocking mode? Automation may be the future of security and IT operations, but the path to autonomous "everything" must be earned. How do you build autonomous capabilities with confidence and trust? Tim Morris, Financial Services Strategist at Tanium, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how teams can introduce autonomous capabilities in a crawl-walk-run progression that builds trust over time. Automation is not about laying off employees, it's about efficiency and speed. Tim will guide us on a journey to build automation we can trust that allow us to reduce repetitive work and minimize human error without creating fear of “machine mistakes.” This segment is sponsored by Tanium.

Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.This is a second question from a listener named Tabitha who adopted a baby boy last year. Tho the adoption looked like it might be at least semi-open, it's effectively closed for now because the baby's birth mom is no longer communicating even with the agency. Question: All our training spoke to the benefits of open adoption. We also know (our baby) has two older siblings living with grandparents. There is also a toddler-aged sibling who was adopted. Like us, first mom is in her early 40s, so she's got life experience. How do we handle questions that arise when baby G is older, with so little info? We seem to be a rarity in this day and age, with a closed adoption not of our choosing. I definitely respect mom's choices, but I know questions will pop up on our little one's end down the road.Resources:Strategies for Maintaining Sibling ConnectionsHelping Siblings Separated by Adoption or Foster Care - Weekend WisdomHandling Social Media & Birth Family Contact with Your Adopted, Foster, or Kinship KidsSupport the showPlease leave us a rating or review.

Daniel Batten argues Bitcoin has largely blunted environmental FUD, but is now losing a broader narrative war and needs an “influence upgrade” to reach the next adoption cohorts He frames the problem as a sales and marketing gap where Bitcoiners often blame newcomers instead of meeting them where they are with better messaging and messengers Discussion highlights a survey showing key barriers are distrust, perceived immorality, and perceived uselessness rather than demographics or politics Daniel introduces a “hierarchy of newcomer needs” emphasizing safety, care, and alignment before education can land effectively Practical guidance: lead with listening, empathize with why someone believes common narratives, and avoid evangelism in favor of tailored education Examples of what works: ambassadors embedded in target communities (eg pension funds, charities) who understand internal processes and patiently navigate committees and objections Key takeaway on adoption dynamics: Bitcoin is both technology and asset, so adoption requires both visible usage (virality) and institutional-grade education to reduce perceived risk They discuss how catalytic events often come from targeted conversations with influential decision-makers (ETFs, corporate treasuries, political shifts), implying more can be “created” with better influence strategy News segment covers macro tariffs/legal angles, bottom-ish signals from on-chain/technical indicators, and pushback on simplistic “Jane Street manipulation” narratives Quantum computing fears are addressed via Yan Pritzker's thread: supply cap safe, risk concentrated in reused/exposed public keys, and migration paths like BIP-360 style upgrades ► For high-net-worth individuals and corporations seeking to build generational wealth with Bitcoin, Swan Private is your guide ✔ https://www.swanbitcoin.com/private?utm_campaign=private&utm_medium=sponsorship&utm_source=podcast&utm_content=swan_signal_live ► Secure your bright orange future with the Swan IRA today!
