Most goals do not fail because of a lack of motivation. They fail because people misunderstand the odds. Kyle Austin Young explains why goal setting breaks down, how hidden risks quietly derail progress, and how his probability hacking framework helps leaders and entrepreneurs intentionally improve their chances of success. The conversation explores decision making under uncertainty, resilience, and why thinking about what could go wrong is often the smartest path forward. If you want a more realistic, strategic way to achieve big goals, this episode reframes how success actually works.

This time on Code WACK! How does Medicare Advantage - also known as privatized Medicare - fail seniors … especially seniors of color? Why do many seniors find they actually have no other choice than an Advantage plan? What's the consequence of that lack of choice? And how do Medicare Advantage insurance plans actually deepen racial and income disparities? To find out, we spoke with Dr. Belinda McIntosh — an Atlanta-based psychiatrist with more than 20 years of experience, a board member of Physicians for a National Health Program, and co-author of a new PNHP report titled “No Real Choices: How Medicare Advantage Fails Seniors of Color.” This is the first episode in a two-part series.

Disease accelerates years in a month. Cancer cells reveal which patients might be most impacted by metastasis - a diagnosis invisible on Earth. Single crystals heal themselves through mechanisms we can't explain. These aren't projections. They're validated results from 2022-2025 that made 40-year NASA veterans say they'd never seen anything like it.The economics flipped. Merck flew Keytruda 30 days, discovered a crystal form missed in a decade of labs - $20B/year by 2030, exceeding SpaceX's entire revenue. The thesis: Two paths to space affordability: cut launch costs 10x AND multiply payload value 1,000x. Do what Earth cannot do at any price.Paradigm Shifts:

In this episode, we dive deep into the evolving relationship between human creativity and artificial intelligence. Inspired by Ada Lovelace's early vision of creative machines, we explore how the boundaries between expertise and common sense have been reshaped by modern AI, from expert systems to today's generative models. We sit down with pioneers and practitioners—Vasant Dhar, a longtime AI researcher and author of Thinking With Machines; Christopher Mims, technology journalist and author of How To AI; and the creators of Tachi AI, Aden Bahadori and Brett Granstaff—to discover how AI is shifting not only what we make but how we make it.We unpack the promise and the pitfalls of treating AI as a true thinking partner, not just a tool for automation. Our guests share practical strategies for using AI to augment creative work, streamline tedious tasks, and enhance idea generation—while emphasizing the necessity of human framing, expertise, and judgment. Whether you're a leader, designer, marketer, or filmmaker, we reveal why using AI thoughtfully is the real competitive edge in creative fields and business.Five Key Learnings:AI's Compounding Edge: Utilizing AI consistently and benchmarking progress gives creatives and teams a multiplying advantage—not by replacing human originality, but by amplifying it through incremental improvements.Framing Questions Matter: The ability to ask the right, nuanced questions remains fundamentally human, and is essential when using AI as a partner in ideation, research, and strategy.Context and Expertise Are Critical: Experts benefit most from AI—leveraging their knowledge to dig deeper, validate outputs, and push beyond generic solutions, while ensuring originality in their work.AI as Scaffolding, Not a Substitute: The greatest value of AI today is in reducing friction and clearing time for creativity—whether it's summarizing information, managing knowledge, or prepping film edits—so humans can focus on what matters.Human-Centric, Supportive AI: Tools like Tachi AI demonstrate that supporting creativity is more transformative than automating it; AI as infrastructure enables faster iteration and more creative decision-making, not just higher productivity.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!

Grab my free e-course, where I break down job titles, salary ranges, and employers hiring macro social workers right now. Here is the link: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://macroandpaid.com/https://macroandpaid.com/--- Why Introverts Have the Career Advantage Right Now | Macro Social Work, Career Strategy & Professional Leverage Introverts are not behind in the job market. They are positioned. In this podcast episode, I break down why introverts are uniquely equipped to lead systems-level change right now and how your natural way of thinking, observing, and working is a professional leverage point, not a limitation. If you're an introverted social worker, case manager, or systems thinker who feels overlooked, underestimated, or pressured to perform like the loudest person in the room, this conversation is for you. In this episode, I explain in plain language: • What professional leverage points are and why they matter in today's job market • Why introversion is a strategic advantage in macro social work and systems change • How observation, pattern recognition, and depth of thinking create real career momentum • Why employers are quietly shifting away from charisma and toward substance • How introverts naturally build high-trust relationships that drive funding, partnerships, and impact • Why focused execution and depth of work lead to visibility and advancement • How to stop treating your introversion like something you need to fix • How to prepare now for macro roles without overcorrecting or burning out I also talk about the broader shift happening across social media, nonprofits, government, and mission-driven organizations and why authentic, thoughtful systems focused social workers are becoming more valuable as surface-level noise increases. This is not an “introverts vs extroverts” conversation. It's about alignment, timing, and leverage. If you've ever felt like your ideas are ahead of the room but you're unsure how to position yourself, this episode will help you see your strengths clearly and use them on purpose.

We are just weeks away from opening my new IMPACT-X Performance facility in San Diego, CA. And one of the most important things from the start is creating an amazing culture. We did it at Fitness Quest 10. And we'll do it again. In today's episode of the IMPACT SHOW podcast, I'm going ALL-IN on why culture is the ultimate performance advantage—and why it will always outperform strategy, systems, or talent alone. This isn't theory or buzzwords. This is real-time leadership straight from the trenches as we prepare to open IXP-San Diego from the ground up (literally!). I'm sharing exactly what it takes to build a world-class culture from Day One, the mistakes that leaders sometimes make that can quietly destroy an organization, and the non-negotiable standards that high-performing teams must live by every single day to build, grow, and sustain an iconic culture. If you're a leader, coach, gym owner, or business owner who wants stronger teams, deeper loyalty, and an even more long-lasting impact—this episode is for YOU. Here are just a few things you'll learn in Episode 463: Why culture always beats strategy (and determines whether plans live or die). The biggest leadership mistakes that can silently destroy culture. Why you don't get the culture you want—you get the culture you lead and tolerate Real examples from world-class brands like Ritz-Carlton, Nordstrom, Chick-fil-A, Disney, Amazon, and more… How to define and live out a clear brand promise. The IMPACT-X Performance Culture Standards, including these 5 credos: o Be the Light – bringing energy, belief, and encouragement into every interaction o People First, Always – seeing the person before the protocol o Own the Experience – if it happens in our building, it's our responsibility o Energy Is a Skill – we don't wait for it, we choose it o Excellence Is the Baseline – good is never good enough                                                      o Leave a Legacy – every interaction is a chance to change a life 3-critical culture rules every leader must enforce: Why one wrong hire with the wrong energy can undo years of great work…and how to prevent it through our proven hiring process. Why it is that two organizations that have the same strategy, the same talent, and even the same resources—one can thrive and excel…while the other slowly falls apart and dies. How culture compounds—for better or worse. Get it RIGHT from the start! Remember my friends, culture is not a mission statement hanging on a wall or a list of values buried on a website. It's not what you say when things are easy or when business is booming. Culture is revealed under pressure. It shows up in how your team treats each other when no one is watching, how they respond when things go wrong, and how your clients and members feel the moment they walk through the door—and the moment they leave. Culture doesn't improve just because time passes or systems change. It improves when leadership improves. You don't get the culture you hope for or wish for—you get the culture you lead, model, and tolerate every single day. So here's the challenge. Don't wait until energy drops, turnover rises, or cracks start to show before you address culture. Start now. Take a hard look at the standards you're enforcing, the behaviors you're allowing, and the energy you're bringing into every room you walk into. Have the conversations you've been avoiding. Reinforce the standards that matter most. And remember—culture starts with you.  If this episode spoke to you, share it with your team, talk about it in your next meeting, and commit to building a culture that's intentional, aligned, and world-class. Because when you lead culture the right way, everything else—performance, loyalty, and impact—follows.  Please do me a favor and do 1 (or all 3) of the following things: 1.

At a certain level of expertise, more effort stops being the differentiator. Proximity becomes the lever that accelerates opportunity. If you've ever wondered why some experts seem to attract opportunities effortlessly while others work twice as hard for half the traction, this episode will connect the dots. The key factor is rarely how good you are, how much experience you have, or how well positioned your authority is – it's the environment they are operating in. In episode 475 of Amplify Your Success podcast, I break down why experts inside collaborative communities like curated masterminds and The Rising Tide Collective have a powerful and often overlooked advantage. We explore how opportunities actually move in the market, why visibility accelerates through trust amongst connections, which activates an unfair advantage that no amount of solo effort can replicate. This conversation is not about networking harder or joining more groups (especially the free online FB groups that become overly saturated.) It's about understanding how aligned communities can create shared visibility, compound credibility, and open doors that are difficult to access alone. If you are an expert who wants more referrals, higher-level conversations, and opportunities that feel aligned rather than forced, this episode will help you see what really creates traction at the next level.   Key Takeaways:  [00:00] Why opportunity is rarely about effort and more often about relationships with the right people. [02:41] How collaborative communities quietly accelerate trust and visibility. [04:58] The difference between being visible alone and being visible through shared momentum. [07:12] Why referrals and opportunities flow faster inside aligned communities. [09:36] How collaboration removes friction from visibility and relationship building. [12:04] Why many experts stall by trying to grow in isolation. [14:27] What makes a community expansive instead of an energetic drain. [17:10] How shared values and contribution create compound opportunity. [19:45] Why experts who win consistently are rarely doing it alone.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Rising Tide Collective is an online community where experts and leaders come together to co-create visibility opportunities and aligned collaborations that lift everyone up. Each month you can participate in our signature mini-minds, a curated connection space, showcase your business, and gain access to tools to build powerful, profitable partnerships.

A transformative realization in the music industry—discovering his passion lay in the mechanics of promotion rather than the artists themselves—became the catalyst for Chris Rodriguez's two-decade digital marketing career. This insight shaped his philosophy of gritty determination and authentic hustle, enabling him to build an agency that navigates seamlessly from startup environments to established organizations while delivering genuine value through personal authenticity and deep expertise rooted in the 10,000-hour principle. Chris's full stack demand generation approach combines organic and paid tactics across every channel, but authenticity remains his most powerful weapon—particularly through LinkedIn personal outreach with genuine, unpolished video content that creates real connections. As AI and algorithmic shifts reshape digital platforms, he advocates for nimble adaptation without losing focus, optimizing through technical SEO while maintaining disciplined execution. Chris Rodriguez's mission centers on a fundamental belief: the real competitive advantage isn't tactics or platforms, but a mindset of continuous learning, authentic connection, and unwavering commitment to excellence.

Text your thoughts and questions!If you've listened to the podcast before, you know that there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to productivity. So if you feel like you're constantly fighting against your own brain, forcing yourself to use productivity systems that just don't stick, and feeling overwhelmed in trying to be disciplined, you've likely been trying to operate in systems that weren't designed for your unique wiring. This week, on episode 298 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I am continuing my special series guiding you through my Positively Productive Toolkit and talking about how your strengths and personality can be used to your productivity advantage. In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I share why self-awareness is your number one productivity tool and outline how you can use my Assessments Workbook to help you quit forcing strategies that don't fit and start choosing the habits and tools that support you. The assessments I cover in this episode include:The Big Five (OCEAN): Think of this as your trait blueprint, measuring 5 broad traits (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism) on a spectrum.The Four Tendencies: This framework by Gretchen Rubin categorizes you as an Upholder, Questioner, Obliger, or Rebel based on how you handle inner and outer expectations, revealing your natural motivation style.VIA Strengths: Unlike performance-based tests, this identifies your top character strengths and uncovers which qualities you naturally express to help you lean into what is already strong and meaningful within you.16 Personalities: Considered a modern version of the Myers-Briggs test, this assesses how you instinctively think, relate, and connect with the world.Your strengths, personality, and tendencies are not obstacles to overcome. Rather, they are your greatest advantages. Stop trying to fit into someone else's system and start designing a life that fits you.Stop trying to fit into someone else's productivity rules!

Why does being a woman actually make Laura Vella a better building inspector?In this episode, I sit down with Laura Vella, an accredited certifier and Jim's Building Inspections franchisee, to talk about life on site in a male dominated industry and why her perspective has become a real advantage for buyers.Laura shares her journey from government and high end residential certification into franchising, what burnout taught her, and how communication, empathy, and attention to detail often matter more than people realise when buying property.We cover what buyers regularly miss during inspections, why the industry is largely unregulated, and the red flags to watch for when choosing an inspector. We also dive into pool safety compliance, common defects in houses and apartments, and why clear, plain English conversations after the report are just as important as the report itself.This is an honest conversation about property, professionalism, and why diversity in building inspections isn't a weakness.

This time on Code WACK!  How does Medicare Advantage - also known as privatized Medicare - fail seniors … especially seniors of color? Why do many seniors find they actually have no other choice than an Advantage plan? What's the consequence of that lack of choice?  And how do Medicare Advantage insurance plans actually deepen racial and income disparities? To find out, we spoke with Dr. Belinda McIntosh — an Atlanta-based psychiatrist with more than 20 years of experience, a board member of Physicians for a National Health Program, and co-author of a new PNHP report titled "No Real Choices: How Medicare Advantage Fails Seniors of Color." This is the first episode in a two-part series. Check out the Transcript and Show Notes for more!  Keep Code WACK! on the air with a tax-deductible donation at heal-ca.org/donate.   

Interview with Meredith Eades, President & CEO of EraNova MetalsRecording date: 23rd January 2026EraNova Metals represents a compelling asymmetric investment opportunity in the critical minerals sector, combining an advanced-stage molybdenum development project trading at a substantial discount to peers with emerging high-grade silver exploration upside that remains unrecognised by current valuation.Under newly appointed President and CEO Meredith Eades, EraNova has repositioned around a dual-path value creation strategy centred on its 30,000-hectare Ruby Creek property in British Columbia. The company's 433 million pound molybdenum resource benefits from $30 million in existing infrastructure, historical feasibility study and environmental approval, and simple metallurgy requiring straightforward processing. Working with engineering firm Tetra Tech to advance toward preliminary economic assessment, EraNova is updating project economics to reflect improving molybdenum market fundamentals with minimal additional drilling required due to comprehensive historical work.The valuation opportunity is striking. At approximately $10 million market capitalisation, investors acquire the Ruby Creek infrastructure at 33 cents on the dollar before accounting for the molybdenum resource itself. Trading at 2.5 cents per pound of molybdenum in-ground versus comparable developers at 5-35 cents, EraNova presents potential for 2-14x re-rating as the PEA demonstrates project economics and strategic partnership discussions advance. Management has confirmed active interest from potential partners exploring joint ventures, strategic partnerships, and offtake agreements—structures that could fund development whilst preserving shareholder value.The exploration dimension provides additional upside optionality currently ignored by market valuation. A 1,585-pound bulk sample from the Silver Surprise zone yielded a 14.3-ounce silver bar through simple crushing and gravity separation, with grades of 4,200 grams per tonne silver and 95% recoveries. Three parallel surface veins extending up to 180 metres offer compelling drill targets, whilst strengthening silver prices above $30 per ounce enhance the economics of potential direct shipping ore scenarios. This near-term revenue generation potential offers an anti-dilutive funding mechanism for continued exploration across seven distinct mineralised zones showing copper-gold-silver-tungsten potential.Management's capital structure and alignment merit investor attention. The operations manager and chief geologist both hold significant equity positions and work without cash compensation, ensuring decisions prioritise shareholder value creation. The autumn financing round came together efficiently with participation from both long-term shareholders and new investors, demonstrating market confidence in the strategic vision whilst maintaining the company's stated focus on execution and disciplined capital allocation.The macro backdrop supports both elements of EraNova's investment thesis. Molybdenum serves critical functions in high-strength steel alloys for infrastructure, pipelines, and construction, with emerging demand from offshore wind, nuclear power, and hydrogen infrastructure supporting steady price improvement. Government emphasis on domestic critical mineral production in stable jurisdictions enhances the strategic value of Canadian molybdenum supply. Simultaneously, silver benefits from monetary uncertainty, industrial demand growth, and supply constraints.For investors seeking exposure to critical minerals development with precious metals exploration leverage, EraNova presents compelling risk-reward at current valuation. The combination of near-term PEA catalyst, potential strategic partnership announcements, 2026 exploration results, and substantial valuation discount to peers creates multiple pathways for value recognition as the market adjusts to the company's repositioned focus and demonstrated progress on both development and exploration fronts.Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.comSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

A new Nutrients study shows that drinking 12 ounces of 100% elderberry juice daily for a week helped overweight adults activate more genes that regulate how the body uses energy after meals than a placebo Elderberry juice turned on processes that help the body manage energy better — making it easier to switch between burning carbohydrates and fat for fuel Earlier research from Washington State University showed elderberry juice improved blood sugar control, increased fat burning, and shifted energy use during meal challenges Practical tip: Aim for about 12 ounces of unsweetened, 100% elderberry juice daily for seven days. Check labels to avoid added sugars, as unsweetened juice still contains about 30 to 36 grams of natural sugar per eight-ounce serving Safety first: Never eat raw elderberries, check for medication interactions (such as immunosuppressants or diabetes drugs), and consult a healthcare provider before using if you are breastfeeding or have an autoimmune condition

When most founders look at markets dominated by Google or Apple, they see a dead end. Ariel Seidman saw an opening. Before founding Hivemapper, Ariel helped scale Yahoo Maps during a period when search and mapping were rapidly evolving. That experience gave him a front-row seat to how large-scale mapping systems are built — and how technical, capital, and organizational constraints shape the pace of innovation at scale. In this episode, he breaks down what it really takes to build a startup against giants: why data moats matter more than UI, how to layer products instead of attacking incumbents head-on, and how insider knowledge can become an unfair advantage — if you're willing to unlearn Big Tech habits that don't translate to startups. We also dig into Hivemapper's decentralized approach to mapping, the role of physical AI and real-world data, the tradeoffs behind crypto incentives, and why the future of maps looks more like a spatial intelligence platform than a navigation app. If you're thinking about taking what you've learned inside Big Tech and applying it to your own startup, this is a conversation you'll want to hear.

Trust has always been one of the hardest things to earn in B2B marketing. As content volumes have increased, that challenge has only grown. When buyers are surrounded by more posts, more articles, and more opinions than ever before, it becomes harder to know who to believe and who to ignore.In this episode of The Content 10x Podcast, Amy Woods talks through why people-led content is something you cannot afford to ignore in 2026. After years of higher output and faster production, and with AI making it easier than ever to scale, buyers are paying closer attention to who is speaking, not just what is being said. Experience, judgement, and credibility now carry more weight than polish.This episode focuses on the ‘why' behind people-led content – specifically employee-led content in B2B. Amy explores why trust feels harder to earn today, why human voices are starting to outperform brand-led messaging, and why this shift reflects buyer behaviour rather than a passing trend.If you're thinking about how to build credibility, engage your audience, and push your brand further without adding to the noise, this episode will help reframe how you approach visibility and trust in B2B marketing.Find out:Why trust has become the real constraint in B2B marketingHow AI-driven scale has changed expectations (and buyer skepticism)Why people now trust individuals more than brandsWhat “people-led content” means in a B2B contextWhy this shift is unavoidable for brands that want to stand out in 2026Important links & mentions:Amy on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/amywoods2/Content 10x: https://www.content10x.com/Amy's book: www.content10x.com/book (Content 10x: More Content, Less Time, Maximum Results)Amy Woods is the CEO and founder of Content 10x, a creative agency that provides specialist content strategy, creation and repurposing support to B2B organizations.She's also a best-selling author, hosts two content marketing podcasts (The Content 10x Podcast and B2B Content Strategist), and speaks on stages all over the world about the power of content marketing.Join thousands of business owners, content creators and marketers and get the latest content marketing tips and advice delivered straight to your inbox every week https://www.content10x.com/newsletter

Sales is emotional, and rejection is unavoidable. In this episode, Brandon breaks down why the highest performers aren't tougher... they're faster at recovering and returning to consistent output. He explains how emotional drag quietly destroys momentum, why slow recovery steals pipeline, and the simple reset loop elite sellers use to move forward quickly.You'll learn how to convert setbacks into data, why action shrinks fear, and how to build emotional recovery into a repeatable system. If you want a practical performance advantage that compounds, start here.

Bo Nix broke his ankle during the Broncos win over the Bills. Now Jarrett Stidham will take over at QB. I explain how that works in Denver's favor. Bill's Mafia is upset with the refs in their loss. We hear from rules expert, Gene Steratore, and Shannon Sharpe. Vic Lombardi has some harsh words for Buffalo Bills fans when it comes to Josh Allen. Riley Moss gave us an amazing soundbite.

He's an introvert who can “perform” like an extrovert on stage, but big groups drain him dry. And when things go sideways with people who think totally differently, his solution isn't some mystical personality hack. It's brutally practical: set expectations early, agree on goals and methods, decide what someone can own without checking in, and measure progress with real numbers.Then he drops the kind of advice that can save your relationships and your blood pressure: when you're angry, don't send the email. Let it sit. If it's still true tomorrow, you can say it tomorrow. And when someone messes up, assume overwhelm or disorganization before you assume betrayal. That one tiny assumption change flips the tone of everything you read, everything you say, and what kind of leader (or partner) you become.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
