We're wrapping up the year with your most-downloaded episodes—the ones that helped you grow smarter, simplify faster, and work less without losing momentum. Still relying on Instagram to bring in leads? You might be missing out on 65% of your potential clients. In 2025, most buyers start their search on Google—not social media. That means if you're spending all your time posting and hoping the algorithm works in your favor, you're leaving money on the table. In today's episode, I share:Why Instagram alone won't cut it anymore (Hint: Your content disappears too fast!)How to make SEO, Pinterest, and YouTube do the heavy liftingHow to use AI to streamline your content and get found fasterSimple tweaks to rank on Google instead of fighting for engagement
professorjrod@gmail.comIn this episode of Technology Tap: CompTIA Study Guide, we explore the fascinating evolution of technology from the launch of Sputnik in 1957 to the ubiquitous smartphones of today. Discover how early innovations like ARPANET laid the groundwork for the internet, shaping the landscape of technology education and IT skills development. Whether you're part of a study group preparing for your CompTIA exam or seeking expert IT certification tips, this episode provides valuable insights into the origins of the digital world and how it influences modern tech exam prep. Join us as we connect the dots between history and today's technology challenges to help you succeed in your IT certification journey.We start with Licklider's prophetic vision and the leap from circuit switching to packet switching that made failure-tolerant networks possible. Email gives the net its first social heartbeat. TCP/IP stitches islands into one internet. Tim Berners-Lee's simple stack—HTML, HTTP, URLs—opens the door for everyone. The home dial-up era arrives, and the browser becomes the interface of daily curiosity. Mosaic and Netscape ignite innovation; Microsoft's bundling forces a reckoning; Mozilla and later Chrome reshape standards and speed for the modern era.The dot‑com bubble teaches hard lessons, but Google's PageRank reframes the problem: organize the world's information with relevance, not clutter. Broadband and Wi‑Fi make the net always on, enabling streaming, online gaming, and richer apps. Napster breaks open music, litigation clamps down, and then paid streaming wins on convenience. Social networks shift the center of gravity from pages to people; YouTube turns everyone into a publisher and archivist. E‑commerce perfects logistics, and smartphones put it all in your hand. The cloud becomes the engine behind Netflix, Uber, TikTok, and the systems that silently scale our daily tools.We confront the dark side, too: ransomware, botnets, data breaches, and insecure IoT devices that expand the attack surface. Algorithms now shape what we see and believe, while fiber backbones and 5G push speed and density to new highs. AI becomes the thinking layer of the internet, interpreting, recommending, and generating content at scale. A rising push for decentralization—blockchains, IPFS, self-sovereign identity—seeks to return control to users and reduce dependence on gatekeepers. Where does it all go from here? From ambient computing to satellite constellations and new interfaces, the net may soon fade into the background—omnipresent and invisible.If you enjoyed this deep dive, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves tech history, and leave a quick review so more curious listeners can find us.

Are your teachers reluctant to move beyond the standard algorithm—even when it clearly isn't working for their students?In this episode, we explore a real-world example of a school trying to shift toward computational fluency—but getting stuck. The teachers agree that students need more accurate and efficient methods, but many still believe offering multiple strategies only adds confusion. Instead of pushing a solution, the school's principal is taking a different approach: creating space for math epiphanies, building content knowledge, and shifting belief through structured staff learning.If you're a school leader or coach supporting math fluency in your school or district, this episode unpacks what it really takes to create shared commitment—not through mandates, but through deep learning.Listeners Will:Learn how one school is building teacher buy-in for strategy-based fluencyUnderstand why resistance to multiple strategies often stems from gaps in math content knowledgeSee how protected staff time is being used to shift beliefs and build instructional confidenceDiscover practical moves (like ICQ protocols and fluency-focused video routines) that create space for reflection and dialogueReflect on the dual role school leaders must play—as both facilitators and math thinkersIf your school or district is working toward stronger fluency and deeper math learning, press play to explore what it really takes to lead that shift.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

The 2026 World Cup is shaping up to be one of the biggest short-term rental demand events in history—bigger than the Super Bowl, bigger than Taylor Swift tours, and long enough to make or break an entire revenue year. In this episode, Jamie Lane sits down with revenue strategist and Happy Guest founder Rebecca Ballart, who has personally priced more than 10,000 listings worldwide, to help hosts understand what to expect… and how not to leave thousands of dollars on the table.Rebecca breaks down why mega-events behave nothing like peak season, how booking windows warp under immense hype, and why the “right” price can't be pulled from comps or pricing tools alone. This conversation is filled with practical guidance for hosts in every 2026 host city—especially those looking at early booking spikes and wondering, “Am I priced too low… or way too high?”They also walk through real-world examples, from massive wins at Hangout Fest to the hard realities when an event is suddenly canceled. Rebecca shares what operators can monitor between now and kickoff, how to think about length-of-stay strategy, when to adjust, and why the smartest revenue managers mix tools with human intuition—not one or the other.If you're hosting anywhere near a World Cup stadium, you can't afford to miss this episode.Key TakeawaysMega-events don't follow normal demand patterns. Expect sudden booking rushes, long periods of quiet, and another surge as the event approaches.Length of stay is a powerful lever. Shorter stays + higher nightly rates often outperform long minimums during multi-week events.Inventory size dictates upside. Large homes can safely aim higher, while 1–2 bedroom units compete directly with hotels and must price accordingly.Use pricing tools—but don't outsource your thinking. Algorithms can miss nuance; human oversight catches opportunities and prevents painful mistakes.Set guardrails before cancellations hit. Minimum event rates and watchful monitoring protect you from losing revenue when fans shift cities or plans change.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

In episode 550 of 'Coffee with Butterscotch,' the brothers take a hard look at online ads and why they rarely deliver the wishlist conversions indie devs hope for. They break down misleading metrics, misclicks, and the high cost of chasing visibility through paid channels. The conversation also gets into conventions and showcases, exploring why in-person events are great for networking and playtesting but often fall short as direct sales drivers. It's a grounded look at where marketing effort actually pays off and where it evaporates into thin air.Support How Many Dudes!Official Website: https://www.bscotch.net/games/how-many-dudesTrailer Teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgQM1SceEpISteam Wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3934270/How_Many_Dudes00:00 Cold Open00:12 Introduction and Welcome02:48 The Role of YouTube Shorts in Game Promotion05:32 Understanding Steam's Algorithm and Wishlist Dynamics08:44 Challenges of Scaling Marketing Efforts11:27 Exploring YouTube Ads and Their Effectiveness14:31 Evaluating the Impact of Advertising on Game Visibility19:54 Navigating Google Ads for Game Promotion22:51 Analyzing Click-Through Rates and Conversions26:07 The Efficacy of YouTube Ads29:45 The Illusion of Effective Advertising34:47 The Uncertainty of Marketing Outcomes41:47 Evaluating Events and Conventions43:09 Digital Events and Showcases45:39 The Challenge of Exclusivity in Marketing49:09 Understanding Randomness in Game Promotion51:45 The Cost-Effectiveness of Marketing Approaches55:02 Balancing Development and Marketing EffortsTo stay up to date with all of our buttery goodness subscribe to the podcast on Apple podcasts (apple.co/1LxNEnk) or wherever you get your audio goodness.

The greatest battle of our age is spiritual. Long before Silicon Valley and algorithms, Jesus warned us that our way of seeing determines our way of being. But today, our "lamp is our screen," and the algorithms behind it are engineered to disciple us, shaping our reactions, emotions, and identity.In this profound conversation, Russ Ewell and Zach Leighton (Reliant Media Group) dive deep into the spiritual crisis of the digital age. They discuss the difference between conforming to the world's patterns and being transformed by the renewing of our minds.Zachary Leighton → Reliant Creative: https://reliantcreative.org/Zach Leighton, founder of Reliant Media Group, empowers churches and nonprofits with story-driven, digital media strategies that deepen connection and build community.

Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism.In this episode, we explore what it truly means to socialize like a Stoic in a world shaped by screens, quick fixes, and the rising tide of loneliness. Many believe confidence comes from external aids like alcohol or status, yet the Stoics approached human connection from a far deeper place. This conversation invites you to pause and reconsider where real confidence and meaningful relationships actually begin.At the heart of this episode is the Stoic understanding that we are, by nature, social beings, meant to contribute to one another and to the greater whole. As Marcus Aurelius reminds us in Meditations 5.1:“At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself: I have to go to work as a human being.”For the Stoics, this wasn't about productivity or social performance, but about duty, contribution, and showing up as a rational, pro-social being. When Marcus writes this, he isn't being harsh, but reminding us that withdrawing from life and others is not in harmony with who we are meant to be.Here are a few Stoic practices from this episode you can explore in your own life:– Examining impressions – noticing when fear of rejection or discomfort shapes your social choices.– Voluntary discomfort – practicing sober, deliberate presence in social settings to build real confidence.– View from above – stepping back to see how small momentary rejection truly is in the larger pattern of life.– Daily reflection – journaling how you showed up for others and where you avoided connection.Modern life offers endless stimulation but little depth. Algorithms, digital validation, and social shortcuts promise connection yet often strengthen isolation. Stoicism offers another way—one grounded in character, clarity, and courage. By the end of this episode, you'll see that Stoicism isn't a cold philosophy of detachment, but a way of living with presence, responsibility, and quiet inner strength.Referenced clips from the episodeScott Galloway on Bill Maher:https://youtu.be/BeTLZasgWS4?si=p0a4l-Bp7Us3_0TvGary Vaynerchuk on confidence and judgment:https://www.youtube.com/shorts/A-BFFp9TdD4Listen to the full episode now and discover how social connection can transform the way you think, act, and see your life.Support the show

This week, we expose the jobs-for-mates scandal the government tried to bury, watch David Pocock absolutely demolish ministers in Senate estimates with straight facts about Japan reselling our gas, and deliver a comprehensive punters audit on Cosplay Canavan that reveals exactly why you should never trust a word he says. The independent review Labor didn't want released just dropped, confirming the appointment system "looks like nepotism" and isn't fit for purpose—but instead of fixing it with actual laws, they're going with a vibes-based framework and rejecting cooling-off periods so they can keep hiring their mates immediately. Minister Katie Gallagher pulls the classic resume pad when grilled about giving away 50% of our gas exports royalty-free, while Tim Ayres dismisses Japan's billion-dollar gas resale scam as just "dinner party discussion." Plus, we break down why Matt Canavan deliberately confuses total investment with government spending to mislead punters on net zero costs, reveal his brother's 7% stake in a coal mine and executive role at Peabody Energy, and discuss how a Bachelor of Economics honours graduate who worked at KPMG somehow pretends he doesn't understand basic economic concepts he's pushing.

Using relatable examples—from Instagram feeds to Spotify Wrapped—you'll learn how your thoughts, emotions, and habits multiply based on your daily focus.We offer a guided reflection to help you identify:What your inner algorithm has been learningWhat patterns you've been reinforcingWhat you actually want to grow going forwardYou'll walk away with a simple four-step framework to redirect your focus and elevate your personal growth: NOTICE your patterns, STOP what isn't serving you, FOCUS on who you want to become, and REPEAT small actions daily.This episode serves as a reminder that personal development is a choice we make every day—and that we each have the power to grow what matters most.
In this inspiring episode, Mike sits down with Adam Mizel, co-founder of US United, to explore how real national healing starts with one simple idea: choose positivity, then pass it on. After leaving a 20-year private equity career, Adam dedicated himself to bridging America's divides through service, storytelling, and connection. He shares how the Sheriff Unity Network, now active in over 100 counties, is quietly strengthening communities by addressing issues like mental health, addiction, homelessness, and everyday public trust—often in ways most people never see. Adam brings this mission to life through powerful stories of conversations with people across the political spectrum, revealing a truth often lost in headlines: most Americans want unity far more than conflict. He and Mike also spotlight National Unity Day (December 13th) and its two simple, transformative actions—Make the Call to reconnect with someone you've drifted from, and Change the Algorithm by flooding social media with positive content. This episode is more than a conversation—it's an invitation. If you want a more compassionate, connected America, start with one action today: reach out, lift someone up, and be the spark your community needs. IN THIS EPISODE:
“You already have it.”We say it all the time. But in this episode, we take that phrase literally. This conversation is Part Two of last week's episode on DNA Awakening, a continuation and deepening of the transmission around Gene Keys, consciousness, and the living codes within you.This conversation is a deep transmission on what it truly means to be guided from within. To recognize yourself as the oracle, the blueprint, the living archive of the universe's intelligence.Drawing from Gene Keys, DNA activation, consciousness science, vitality, health, creativity, and lived experience, we explore the idea that every answer, vision, gift, and next step is already encoded within you. Nothing is missing. Nothing needs to be fetched from outside yourself.If you've ever felt like you're searching for clarity, purpose, healing, or direction, this episode is an invitation to stop looking outward and start remembering inward.In this episode, we explore:What it really means to say “you have it all within you”The inner guidance system and awakening the Oracle withinHow DNA, Gene Keys, and consciousness codes shape your realityWhy visions aren't something to chase but, frequencies asking to activate inside youLight, shadow, and how your gifts evolve through expressionCreativity as a literal life force (and why not creating feels like depression)Vitality as free-flowing energy, not something to “fix” or outsourceWhy health, healing, and trust return when you reclaim authority over your bodyHow inspiration bridges the seen and unseenLearning, mentors, books, and containers as activation mirrors, not pedestalsWhy shadow phases are not failures but, necessary expressions of your codeHow committing to your creative expression synchronizes you with universal energyWhat it looks like to live in alignment with your mission and watch life respondThis episode is raw, expansive, and multi-layered. It's one of those conversations that lands differently depending on where you are in your journey but, no matter what, it will remind you of something essential: You are already carrying the codes. And life is simply showing you where to look.

This episode goes way deeper than the title suggests. I explore mindfulness, shadow work, digital addiction, and what happens when you unplug long enough to hear your own mind again. From bathroom breaks without your phone to confronting the parts of yourself you've been avoiding, this is a raw, unfiltered dive into presence, privacy, and learning to think without the algorithm shaping every thought.If you've been feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, or just disconnected from yourself… this one's for you.The Meditation Tree

The internet decides what's for dinner. Ruby Tandoh is the author of the new book, All Consuming: Why We Eat the Way We Eat Now. A stint on the Great British Bake Off when she was in college launched her into the world of cookbooks — increasingly irrelevant in a world where we're more likely to turn to Google for a recipe than turn to our bookshelves — and provided her an education in how pop culture stokes our cravings. She takes Ben and Amory on a journey from the surprising history of AllRecipes and the "world's best lasagna," to the TikTok food trends of today. (Spoiler: they don't always taste particularly good.) Show notes: All Consuming: Why We Eat the Way We Eat Now Credits: This episode was produced by Grace Tatter and hosted by Ben Brock Johnson and Amory Sivertson. It was edited by Meg Cramer.

Going Pro Yoga (Formerly the Yoga Teacher Evolution Podcast)
What if the stories you repeat every day aren't yours—but someone else's script running your life?In this episode, Byron and Michael look closely at narratives—the powerful stories we absorb from media, culture, and community—and how they shape what we feel, believe, and choose. They explore the difference between raw facts and the emotional storyline built around them, naming how hype can manipulate attention, belonging, and identity. They invite a return to truthfulness (Satya) and witness consciousness (sakshi bhava)—seeing the story without becoming the story—so decisions come from inner integrity, not crowd pressure. He also touches on collective “open secrets,” victim narratives, and why neutrality can get misread as opposition. For teachers, he offers a practical lens: every class is a narrative—so what are you feeding? Ego, or autonomy and intention? They close with a simple map for crafting transformational stories in class: personal lesson → yogic principle → clear bridge back to the student's life. Curious where your choices end and the narrative begins? This conversation is your mirror. —-------—-------—-Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:00:43 Rebrand Tease00:02:08 What Is a Narrative?00:03:39 Algorithms & Echo Chambers00:07:16 Facts vs. Story (Manipulation & Hype)00:10:56 Self, Other, and Collective Narratives00:15:29 Belonging, Shame, and Agreeableness00:20:50 “First to Share” and Worthiness00:24:57 Satya & Witness Consciousness00:27:28 Language: From Truth to Spin00:28:38 Victim Narratives00:29:40 Why Old Stories Stick00:33:17 Truth in the Present Moment00:34:40 Teaching as Narrative00:37:07 From Personal Story to Student Insight00:39:40 Neti Neti & Ego Softening00:41:07 Closing—-------—-------—-

In this episode of the Arts Management and Technology Lab, Samantha Childers explores why so many songs recommended by streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube Music sound strikingly similar. She breaks down the inner workings of music streaming algorithms—how metadata, collaborative filtering, content-based filtering, and continuous feedback loops collectively shape the "perfect playlist." Samantha also examines Spotify features such as Discover Weekly and Discovery Mode, uncovering how these tools influence music discovery, artist visibility, and even compositional trends as musicians increasingly write with algorithms in mind. Alongside these technical insights, she raises critical ethical questions about data privacy, algorithmic bias, pay-to-play practices, and the shrinking role of human curation. Ultimately, the episode invites listeners to rethink how algorithm-driven platforms shape not only what we hear but also how we discover, value, and experience music.

Rory and Drew celebrate crawling their way to 30k subs, then immediately prove they are barely qualified to handle it by turning a Stranger Things binge into a full-blown lecture on composition, lighting, and how to reverse-engineer blockbuster shots into Midjourney and Nano Banana Pro prompts. They talk like film school dropouts who discovered prompts instead of lenses. From there, they unpack fresh Midjourney office hours: the upcoming UI/UX overhaul with continuous scrolling, better color control, a reworked style system, and the big one: parallel edit models that finally keep you inside Midjourney instead of forcing you into five other tools. They break down what “better text handling” could realistically mean for real-world client work, what to expect from Midjourney V8 training in January, and why business use cases will decide who actually wins this model war. Then it's a long, dangerous slide into Nano Banana Pro obsession. They show how they are using it for real campaigns: ingredient flat-lay diagrams with perfect labels, knolling that actually respects object counts, thumbnail iterations in minutes, hyper-real food tweaks (“make the cheese more brown and bubbly”) and product work where text on bottles and labels actually holds up. Think: turning moodboards into branded cars, movie-poster typography onto existing art, and multi-shot car sequences that are clean enough to use as video keyframes. In the back half, they zoom out into systems: building custom Nano tools in Google AI Studio, using JSON prompts, if-then logic, and style libraries to create reusable pipelines for teams that are not prompt nerds. They rant about broken N8N workflows, fake Instagram “AI automation” grifts, and share where affiliate tools actually see conversions today across YouTube, X, and LinkedIn. It is part Midjourney V8 rumor mill, part Nano Banana Pro clinic, part therapy session for creatives trying to stay sane in an algorithm that clearly prefers trolls and evolving Pokémon. --⏱️ Midjourney Fast Hour00:00 Midjourney Fast Hours hits 30k subs01:28 Stranger Things S5, film craft & AI framing05:39 Turning cinematic shots into AI prompts07:33 Pop culture prompts, memes & brand tie-ins08:38 Nano Banana branding tricks & model hype cycle09:38 Midjourney swag, “non-sponsored sponsors”10:12 Midjourney UI overhaul & scrolling-style feed15:46 Midjourney edit models and in-app image editing20:16 Midjourney V8 timing, text handling & business use24:41 Midjourney vs other models for real client work26:47 Free image tools, casual users & competition30:57 Nano Banana Pro: real-world client use cases36:31 Micro edits, product shots & text stress tests42:33 Product versioning, depth tests & asset variants44:25 Car branding, moodboards & Nano video keyframes46:20 Polaroid race car branding & design details50:09 Building custom Nano tools in Google AI Studio55:21 Style libraries, handoff workflows & reverse prompts59:17 If-then logic for prompts, GPTs & image systems01:03:01 From tokens to full-blown image systems01:04:21 Instagram grifts, empty funnels & manychat rage01:05:15 Platforms that actually convert for AI tools01:06:38 Algorithm chaos, Pokémon and death threats01:06:58 Midjourney swag, the Faye cameo & water bottle talk01:07:58 Future video model hype, skepticism & sign-off
