On this episode, we're back live at Lot 63 in Winston-Salem. I was joined once more by Corey Walker & Bill Leonard for a wide-ranging conversation from the Council of Nicaea to smartphone addiction. We explore the roots of our civilizational crisis, tracing lines from the Anabaptist radicals 500 years ago who said "God alone is judge of conscience" all the way to today's algorithmic plantation where our phones know us better than we know ourselves. Bill reminded us that the mentality behind drowning Felix Manz in 1527 is the same one calling for politicians to be "tarred and feathered" today and drew out the connections between Christian Nationalism and the SBC. Corey talked about fear as the driving force across the religious spectrum, the collapse of institutions that never included everyone anyway, and why the "rise of the nones" might actually be the Spirit revealing itself in new places - like right here at Lot 63 on a Thursday night. Sometimes the best church happens when you're arguing across difference instead of hiding in your algorithmic echo chamber. Corey D. B. Walker is Dean of the School of Divinity at Wake Forest University. As a scholar, he's committed to a broad vision of human flourishing. His research, teaching, and public scholarship span the areas of African American philosophy, critical theory, ethics, and religion and American public life.  Bill Leonard is the Founding Dean and Professor of Divinity Emeritus at Wake Divinity. Leonard's research focuses on Church History with particular attention to American religion, Baptist studies, and Appalachian religion. He is the author of over 25 books, including  The Homebrewed Christianity Guide to Church History: Flaming Heretics and Heavy Drinkers.

Jesse Hoogland and Daniel Murfet, founders of Timaeus, introduce their mathematically rigorous approach to AI safety through "developmental interpretability" based on Singular Learning Theory. They explain how neural network loss landscapes are actually complex, jagged surfaces full of "singularities" where models can change internally without affecting external behavior—potentially masking dangerous misalignment. Using their Local Learning Coefficient measure, they've demonstrated the ability to identify critical phase changes during training in models up to 7 billion parameters, offering a complementary approach to mechanistic interpretability. This work aims to move beyond trial-and-error neural network training toward a more principled engineering discipline that could catch safety issues during training rather than after deployment.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) – how the Algorithm Connects Us All Revisited AZ TRT 2.0 – S06 EP08 (270) 5-11-2025   What We Learned This Week: AI is inter-connected with so many technologies & you use AI often on a daily basis AI is a part of almost all industries from Healthcare, Finance to Defense Human in the Loop - humans will always be needed to Interpret the Data, but AI will assist Software Teams must be managed so the product is integrated properly in the bigger picture   Moore's Law – Each year computing power grows 2x as fast, but cuts the cost in half   Guests: Naru (Narendran Muraleedharan), CEO / Founder of StaxAI – formerly Inventives & Aptus AI https://stax.ai/   linkedin.com/in/naru95       Bio: At Stax.ai, we empower retirement plan TPAs to streamline operations, enhance productivity, and deliver exceptional client experiences. Our innovative platform automates census data collection, payroll integrations, trust accounting, and client communication, all while providing actionable insights through AI-driven tools. Trusted by TPAs managing thousands of plans, Stax.ai transforms administrative burdens into seamless workflows, enabling you to focus on what matters most—growing your business and strengthening client relationships.   Past Bio: Inventives / Aptus AI is a software solutions and artificial intelligence development and consulting firm. They provide aerospace, mechanical, and software engineering services to companies around the world. The Team is strong, and well-rounded consisting of engineers, developers, and physicists that focus on solving problems at the root. They help take ideas or concepts and build prototypes and deployments in very short periods of time with tight budgets while maintaining the best quality and client satisfaction. The main fields of expertise are RPA, Web App Development, Solutions Architecture, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, and Simulation Systems.   Note**: This interview was recorded in Oct. 2021 (S02 EP 43 (90) 10-24-21), since then Naru has changed the company name. Also, the BRT podcast has changed to AZ Tech Roundtable.   Notes: Seg. 2 - 4 Naru returns to the show talking tech, software, and AI. His team is always developing new applications with AI in healthcare, finance, biotech, & aerospace. Naru shows how so many technologies are connected and what the future of business looks like. Inventives is the new company, with the same core technology team, but focusing the business into a venture studio by creating new AI projects for companies not yet using AI. Inventives new projects can become spinoff companies with this new technology.  They work with B2B clients and also Investors for these types of companies.   Radiology is a current project to enhance the patient experience using AI – called SKIP. This project is on the Operations side to make the patient process of paperwork, payments, etc. to be automated (& efficient) with AI working with the patient. This will be stand alone, but if adopted by other medical offices over the long term can streamline the healthcare industry. Naru and his team are working on document management, where their AI program will be able to read documents and determine what the info is. Rising Cloud is another project they are building that manages a company cloud usage to improve costs.   Moore's Law – Each year computing power grows 2x as fast, but cuts the cost in half Cloud Computing happens in the cloud and internet for your programming vs Edge Computing that happens right on your phone and does not need to go out to the cloud. Bigger the data request or process determines if Cloud or Edge is the best choice. People interact with AI (Artificial Intelligence) daily on their phone, email, internet search and beyond. User Agreements in your phone or websites you use say they can take your search data and use it to enhance your experience.   AI Search uses past searches by you, vs what are the popular other searches by other people on the internet. It happens so fast and has the best / popular search options loading before you are even done typing. This is called a Recommendation Engine, just like Netflix or Amazon find shows or products you may like. These recs are similar to what you have watched or bought previously, or in similar genres. The downside is you may not see different options, just more of the same. AI determines what you see daily on the internet, and can create a silo effect. Inventives uses a common solution, called Human in the Loop to review what the AI is doing. Then the searches or recommendations are reviewed to see how accurate they are.  Healthcare AI is assisting doctors, and even finding issues that humans have missed in a radiology study. AI has no bias, and does not get tired. The computer can repeat processes and be consistent.   Key technologies of the day are constantly overlapping – AI, Big Data, Cloud, SaaS Software, etc. This tech can work with each other, and new software can build on top of these applications. Open AI created a product with AI that builds AI software. Naru's Software Teams have different backgrounds of math, engineering or physics who are self taught on software and think more about the solution vs thinking in terms of coding. There are small groups of 2 to 4 people in a team with a Solutions Architect running the small team and determining how the software interacts in the bigger picture. Often some of the best software involved very small teams. Lot of testing and compliance control goes into to creating big software projects that can involve multiple teams. Same issue if building an upgrade to a software that merges with the previous version.   Rewind Clip (Seg. 1) – Replay of a segment from Naru's last appearance on BRT in 11/2020 He talks AI and the morality of the technology. How can a programmer control their product, and what it will be used for in the real world. Naru chose the name Aptus because it is Latin for Apt or Appropriate – design products that works for the clients Chaos Theory / Jurassic Park – Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should Aptus gets defense contracts as sub-contractor of companies partnered with military. Aptus studies the end applications for what they are requested to build, to determine if they will take the project. Morality is considered, but not always applicable to see where a product may go until it is built. AI software is programmed to build more software, AI building more AI. Per Naru there are companies trying to develop AI weapons that can kill on their own, and robots being controlled by AI already. Aptus has Liability Insurance to protect their projects.       ‘Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT    Thanks for Listening.

What happens to the speed of trading as technology advances? How do we move from automated button pressing machines to ultra-fast algorithms? What surprising impact does the rain have on the trading windows of financial markets?Donald MacKenzie is a professor of sociology at the University of Edinburgh and also the author of several books. His most recent works are Trading at the Speed of Light: How Ultrafast Algorithms Are Transforming Financial Markets and An Engine, Not a Camera: How Financial Models Shape Markets.Greg and Donald discuss the intersection of sociology and finance, exploring how financial models not only describe markets but also actively influence them. Donald explains the concept of performativity, where financial theories shape market behavior, and contrasts qualitative sociological methodologies with quantitative financial studies. Their conversation also touches on the history and impact of technologies and regulatory environments that have transformed financial trading, highlighting contributions from notable academics and instances of feedback loops between theory and practice.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Chicago pits vs. algorithms28:34: For, say, investment management firms that have to buy and sell large portfolios of assets, there's little doubt that the modern world of automated trading has benefits, but it also has downsides. I mean, the benefit is, quite simply, of course, that automated systems are a lot cheaper than human beings in colored jackets running around in Chicago's pits or on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. But, at the same time, of course, if you are trying to sell or buy a very large position, then you do leave electronic traces that trading algorithms can pick up on and make money out of.Why financial models shapes markets like engine not camera04:31: An engine does things, it's not a camera—at least in our ordinary thinking about cameras, where you take the photograph and the landscape remains the same. An engine does stuff, it changes its environment.The power of shared signals in trading success34:11: The secret of my success is I realized quite early on that there were things—signals, as they would be called in the field—inputs to algorithms that everybody knew about and that everybody knew that everybody knew about. So it wasn't like I had an unsuccessful attempt, way back to research statistical arbitrage and dare nobody would tell you what exactly they were trading off of. But I think they're trading because everybody knows that if you're trading shares, then a move in the relevant index future is a very, very important signal. Everybody knows that, and everybody knows that. Everybody knows that.Finance beyond numbers, the human side of quantitative work02:30: Finance as an academic field, and indeed of course finance as a practice, is typically highly quantitative. And to get into the technology, quantitative work can be great, but to really get into it you've got to talk to people. Ideally, you want to go see things, so the methodology is more qualitative than quantitative, and it probably would not be the best of ideas.Show Links:Recommended Resources:William F.

We're living through the biggest information shift in 100 years—and no one's prepared. Institutions are stuck. Algorithms reward chaos. But there's hope in something no one talks about: being a thoughtful, average, flawed, and kind person who still shows up every day. In a world built for extremes, the future belongs to those who build slow, human, and real.

This is part two of my mini-series on why the information war will never end. And I mean never. In this episode, I break down why the fight for attention is always happening and what you need to know about it. Let's get into it. Show Notes:  [01:55]#4 Everyone is a broadcaster.  [12:29]#5 Algorithms reward attention over substance. [18:26]#6 More than ever, facts are just filtered through personal beliefs.

The EU supposedly has some of the world's toughest laws regulating big tech. So why does it still feel like Europeans are being sucked into increasingly polarised online communities, and manipulated during our elections? Can we do anything about it? This week's guest, the Irish internet campaigner Johnny Ryan, argues that a pretty radical solution is within the EU's reach. We're also talking about the Dutch government's collapse, and why bear meat may soon be on the menu in Slovakia.    Johnny is the Director of Enforce.

In this episode of The Association Insights Podcast, host Colleen Gallagher sits down with Leonard Steinhorn, Professor of Communication and Affiliate Professor of History at American University, for a dynamic, deeply relevant conversation on how associations can lead with clarity, ethics, and impact in today's fragmented media environment.A former broadcast commentator, prolific writer, and award-winning educator, Professor Steinhorn offers timeless principles and timely advice on what's changed in media—and what never should.

Gustaf Tadaa is a thinker, speaker, artist and entrepreneur. His and his wife Malins last exhibition Andetag (Instagram, website) is exhibiting in Stockholm spring/summer 2025. This is a beautiful conversation around how everything is made up, the traps of language, why we should think about teaching kids semantics. We also talk about how trauma therapy is a creative activity not a discovery. How important stories are to shape the world we live in and we end up talking about taxes why that would be a way to really shit the current state of the world. This conversation is wide ranging, concrete, provoking and really useful. Enjoy!

Today we’re diving into something I talk about often but realise not everyone has heard before: the big "A" word—algorithm. This topic takes us full circle because the very first episode I recorded, nearly five years ago, was all about why your social media content might not be working—and yes, the algorithm was front and center. A lot has changed since then. The algorithm moves fast—it's shifted over the last 12 months, even over the last few weeks. So today, I want to not only break down what’s changed, but also focus on what’s actually working right now—and just as importantly, what you should avoid. Let’s take it back to basics and demystify this ever-evolving digital gatekeeper. Let’s dive in. We’ll be talking about: ➡ [0:00] Introduction to the algorithm and its purpose ➡ [02:19] What the algorithm is and how it works ➡ [04:05] Predictive power of social media algorithms ➡ [06:00] Why content that people want to consume matters ➡ [08:00] Reasons you saw content previously ➡ [09:13] 37% of feed content now comes from unknown sources ➡ [11:00] How Facebook scores your content ➡ [12:00] Signals, behaviour patterns, and relevance scores ➡ [13:00] Content that gets downgraded by the algorithm ➡ [14:50] Clickbait, exaggerated claims, and transparency issues ➡ [18:00] Engagement: Treating social media like a two-way conversation ➡ [20:23] Sharing platform-appropriate content ➡ [21:15] Why links hurt your reach and what to do instead ➡ [24:45] Embrace short-form video content (90 seconds or less) ➡ [26:00] Realness over perfection in video creation ➡ [27:40] User-generated content vs. curated content ➡ [28:45] Spark meaningful, non-controversial conversations ➡ [30:18] What counts as clickbait and how to avoid it ➡ [32:03] Prioritise building Facebook communities ➡ [34:02] Pick one strategy to improve and take action ➡ [34:50] Learn more about joining the Auxano Family Resources: Free Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/socialmediafordirectsellerswithgregandsam/ Are you ready to keep growing?

Terrell is back from DR celebrating Krew's 2nd birthday this episode of the MalloryBros Podcast of course starts with a recap of the trip and it's not all sun and sand. He got his ass beat in the airport, was stuck in New York with his lady and kid, had hotel problems, and some MO SH*T. Either way he had a good trip with the family. You could tell the bros were excited to be back in each other's presence. Terrance talks about finding MAGGOTS on his trashcan after his electric fly-swatter habits failed him. The Bros then talk about the negative reactions to Lil Wayne's Carter 6 Album and how a lot of it is honest, and a very small amount comes from the position Wayne's positioned himself in the last year. Later, they shift gears to talk about The Algorithm and how it seems to be taking over Major Event placements like the next "Superbowl Halftime Show" Performer. This transitions right into a roast of Popeyes' new wrap that Terrell finally tried... and yeah, it's not good. Then the Bros have a real discussion about whether an actor's social media presence can actually hurt box office success. This is fueled by Denzel Washington's advice to Michael B Jordon on his online presence. Are actors use of Social Media hurting their box office appeal? BECAUSE ITS THE BIGGEST GROWING MEDIA, Streaming is again discussed, this time a discussion on — is it really more sustainable than YouTube, or are both just different devils in the same suit? This leads to the heaviest topic of today's episode which is the VIRAL clip of Black American Actor Woody McClain walking out of a podcast in TEARS after speaking on his experience in the industry being "typecast"in roles that portray him to be dangerous. Terrance brings some heat on this one. And finally, with Tyler Perry and Taraji P Henson's STRAW being number 1 on NETFLIX, they close with a conversation about Tyler Perry's recipe for his films and how his heavy handedness with the TRAUMA has left a stain on his menu. The Bros are back ... let's cook. REALEST 9 forever! Love you guys.

In episode 882 of CXOTalk, Michael Krigsman sits down with Kevin De Liban, founder of TechTonic Justice and former legal aid attorney, who reveals the shocking truth about AI's impact on vulnerable communities. De Liban shares how 92 million low-income Americans now have critical life decisions, such as healthcare, housing, employment, and government benefits, that are determined by algorithms that often fail catastrophically.Drawing from his groundbreaking 2016 legal victory in Arkansas, where he successfully challenged an algorithm that devastated the lives of disabled Medicaid recipients, De Liban exposes the myth of AI neutrality and demonstrates how these systems reflect the biases and incentives of their creators. He explains why self-regulation and "ethical AI" initiatives often fail when they conflict with business interests, and why effective regulation is crucial.What you'll learn: The real scale of AI harm affecting 92 million Americans Why AI systems aren't neutral decision-making toolsHow algorithms denied healthcare to disabled people in ArkansasWhy ethical AI initiatives fail without enforceable accountabilityPractical steps technology leaders can take to prevent harmThe expansion of AI monitoring into middle-class professionsWhy regulation benefits ethical companiesHow to determine if AI is appropriate for high-stakes decisionsThis conversation challenges conventional wisdom about AI adoption and offers essential guidance for executives, developers, and policymakers navigating the intersection of technological innovation and social responsibility.Whether you're a C-suite executive, technology professional, policymaker, or concerned citizen, this discussion provides crucial insights into one of the most pressing issues of our time: ensuring AI serves humanity rather than harming those who need protection most.=====Subscribe to CXOTalk: www.cxotalk.com/newsletterRead the episode summary and transcript: www.cxotalk.com/episode/ai-failure-injustice-inequality-and-algorithmsLearn more about TechTonic Justice: www.techtonicjustice.org

Have you ever said “thank you” to a chatbot or Chat GPT? Well, you're not alone—and you might just be weirder than you think. It turns out AI can be more empathic than people. But what do Customers think of AI experiences? Academic research reveals the answers we discuss in this show.  In this special live-recorded episode from the SOCAP Conference, Colin Shaw and Professor Ryan Hamilton explore the psychology behind how customers actually feel about AI—and what that means for your customer experience. Ryan dives into the latest academic research on AI trust, customer behaviour, and why people treat AI like it's part of the cast of Friends. Meanwhile, Colin keeps things grounded with real-life examples with his usual “so what?” test. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why 50% of customers trust companies less when they know AI is involved How AI literacy backfires (the more people understand it, the less they use it!) The subtle “outgroup” bias customers apply to AI systems Why hedonic recommendations (like chocolate) must come from humans How one bad AI interaction can poison the well for all future ones What the hell “personification” means—and why it matters for your brand The surprising emotional tension behind AI adoption (it's empowering and scary) Best Quote from the Episode: “AI isn't human, but customers treat it like it is—and that means it's being judged by human standards. If it screws up once, they'll remember. And they'll blame all AI for it.” – Professor Ryan Hamilton Resources Mentioned This podcast is sponsored by SOCAP International and IA Solutions, who are both as passionate about improving customer experience as we are.

Justin Lane highlights a significant shift in digital marketing, emphasizing the growing importance of structured data and schema markup to enhance how AI interprets and delivers content. He foresees a future where traditional websites may evolve into API-driven platforms, offering more interactive and personalized user experiences. This change calls for businesses to focus on refining and optimizing existing content rather than merely increasing volume, ensuring that their digital presence aligns with emerging technologies and user expectations. Lane stresses that quality and precision in content are becoming more valuable than quantity, advising marketers to conduct thorough audits of their current websites before expanding further. By adopting schema.org markup and structured data, businesses can make their information more accessible to AI tools, which increasingly shape search results and user interactions. This strategic focus helps brands stay competitive and relevant in a landscape where AI-driven platforms prioritize clarity, context, and engagement over traditional keyword-based SEO tactics. For those looking to stay ahead in the ever-changing SEO landscape and harness cutting-edge digital marketing strategies, visit Adalane Media Group to discover the services they offer.

“The goal is to keep injected CO₂ safely in place - that's why understanding fault networks is so critical.” In this episode, host Andrew Geary welcomes David Lubo-Robles, lead author of The Leading Edge paper on detecting small-offset faults for carbon capture and storage (CCUS). David explains how advanced seismic attributes, without relying on machine learning, can help geoscientists better map faults that influence the movement of CO₂ underground. His insights demonstrate the importance of applied geophysics in enabling safer and smarter reservoir management in the era of climate solutions. KEY TAKEAWAYS > Advanced Seismic Attributes Matter: Multispectral coherence and volumetric aberrancy help visualize subtle faults often missed by traditional methods. > Fault Mapping Is Critical for CCUS: Understanding both large and small faults reduces geological risk and improves CO₂ storage safety. > Applied Geophysics Is Essential: From modeling to monitoring, geophysicists play a vital role in every stage of a successful CCUS project. CALL TO ACTION Want to dig deeper into how seismic attributes enhance fault detection for carbon storage? Read David's paper in The Leading Edge, “Detection of small-offset faults in seismic data: An application for carbon capture and storage.” Whether you're in CCUS, oil and gas, or geothermal, this workflow offers tools you can apply today.

This week on Sinica, I speak with Kendra Schaefer, the partner at Trivium China who heads their tech practice. She recently published a fascinating paper looking at the Cyberspace Administration of China's comprehensive database of generative AI tools released in China, and she shares the insights and big takeaways from her research on that database. It's a terrific window into what Chinese firms, both private and state-affiliated, are doing with generative AI.03:51 – Mandatory registration of generative AI Tools in China10:28 – How does the CAC categorize AI Tools?14:25 – State-affiliated vs. non-state-affiliated AI Tools18:55 – Capability and competition of China's AI Industry22:57 – Significance of Generative Algorithmic Tools (GAT) registration counts26:06 – The application of GATs in the education sector29:50 – The application of GATs in the healthcare Sector31:00 – Underrepresentation of AI tools in other sectors32:56 – Regional breakdown of AI innovation in China36:07 – AI adoption across sectors: how companies integrate AI40:21 – Standout projects by the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS)42:42 – How multinationals navigate China's tech regulations47:50 – Role of foreign players in China's AI strategy49:38 – Key takeaways from the AI development journey53:41 -– Blind spots in AI data57:25 – Kendra's future research directionPaying it Forward: Kenton Thibaut.Recommendations:Kendra: The Chinese Computer: A Global History of the Information Age by Thomas Mullaney.Kaiser: the Rhyming Chaos Podcast by Jeremy Goldkorn and Maria RepnikovaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today I welcome back TJ Dumser, who makes ambient meditative soundscapes under the name Six Missing. TJ is in the process of releasing his new album Without Mind in 3 sections. We spoke shortly after the first section Identify was released. TJ and I picked up where we left off, discussing his work and the vision he has for this album. Things pretty quickly got philosophical and introspective. We shared techniques for dealing with self-doubt and the inner critic. We also explored where we stand as artists in the face of Artificial Intelligence and constantly expanding technology. Listen on Apple, Spotify, YouTube Takeaways: Trilogy Structure for Deeper Listening – TJ's Without Mind album is being released in three parts to encourage intentional listening and build a larger sonic narrative. Music Beyond the Background – Unlike passive ambient music, Without Mind is designed to hold your attention and reshape your experience in the moment. Revisiting Old Work with Fresh Ears – After sitting unreleased for years, the project regained personal relevance when revisited in a new headspace and physical space. Letting Go of Listener Expectations – TJ challenges the idea that ambient music has to be “nice and polite,” embracing sudden changes, rhythm, and experimentation. Meditation as Creative Foundation – The concept of Without Mind stems from mindfulness: the ability to step back from thoughts and ego to access true presence. Fighting the Algorithm with Art – Releasing in parts is not only practical for listeners, but also a way to subvert algorithm-driven consumption and reclaim artistic delivery. Creative Identity Isn't Fixed – Making something outside your norm is a valid and necessary part of your evolution as an artist. Protect Your Flow State – Comparing distractions to carrying a hammer around all day, TJ emphasizes the need to carve out nonjudgmental, focused space to create. From Critic to Collaborator – Brian and TJ reflect on treating the inner critic not as a judge, but as a collaborator—someone to notice, not obey. Art as a Portal to Awareness – Both hosts agree: making music is not just about the product—it's about attention, presence, joy, and being human.

We want to hear from you. If you're open to a quick chat with our producer, it only takes a few seconds to sign up: https://forms.gle/TTdgZ9R6HykpPaEh6We're back with part two of my conversation with Brendan Kane, and this time, we're putting formats into action. We go deep into what the social media algorithms actually care about (hint: it's not boosting or shadowbanning), why going viral isn't the goal—but meaningful impact is—and how to make even the “boring” stuff relatable and widely viewed. Brendan unpacks practical examples from real estate to insurance to dentistry, and we workshop my own man-on-the-street concept live on the podcast. We also explore the psychology behind pricing, personal branding, and how your unique personality traits can shape your content strategy. If you've ever wondered how to grow an audience while staying authentic, or how to deal with the pressure of content performance, this episode delivers straight talk with plenty of “aha” moments.Timestamps:(00:00) - Introduction(03:40) - Shadowbans & algorithm myths(05:27) - What virality really means(07:19) - How niche creators can reach wider audiences(10:49) - Formats for “boring” businesses(12:14) - Mindset shift for viral potential(14:50) - Man-on-the-street brainstorm(17:04) - What can go wrong with live formats(20:45) - Dialogue demo & emotional tension(23:25) - Should you delete non-performers?(25:14) - Faceless content vs personal connection(32:25) - Brendan's personal brand & communication styleCheck out today's guest, Brendan Kane:Brendan's Website: https://brendanjkane.com/Brendan's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrendanJamesKane/Brendan's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brendankane/?hl=enBrendan's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BrendanKane/Check out The Futur:Website: https://www.thefutur.com/Courses: https://www.thefutur.com/shopLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-futur/Podcasts: https://thefutur.com/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefuturishere/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theFuturisHere/Twitter: https://x.com/thefuturishereTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thefuturishereYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/thefuturishereCheck out Chris Do:Website: https://zaap.bio/thechrisdoLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/thechrisdo/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/BizOfDesignInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/thechrisdo/Twitter:
