Podcasts about algorithms

Gen Alpha slang can seem unintelligible to adults, but linguist and TikToker Adam Aleksic argues language development in the internet age is worth legitimate study. In a conversation from July, Adam talks to Host Flora Lichtman about how algorithms and social media are changing the way we speak, and discusses his new book, Algospeak: How Social Media is Transforming the Future of Language.Guest: Adam Aleksic is a linguist and content creator posting educational videos as the “Etymology Nerd” to an audience of more than three million. He is the author of Algospeak: How Social Media is Transforming the Future of Language.Transcript is available on sciencefriday.com. Subscribe to this podcast.

Back to the 80s Radio: When Radio Was a Friend, Not an Algorithm. What if the thing we miss most about the 1980s isn't just the music — but the way we lived? In this episode of Back to the 80s Radio, Toscano takes you back to a time when radio wasn't background noise; it was a companion. When songs arrived, instead of being demanded. When moments had space to unfold, when freedom and experience mattered more than convenience and control, this isn't a countdown show.It's not nostalgia for nostalgia's sake. It's a conversation about:What the 80s gave us — freedom, patience, discoveryWhat we traded away for convenienceWhy radio once felt personal, steady, and humanAnd how we might reclaim a little of that space againAlong the way, you'll hear iconic 80s music, thoughtful reflections, and a reminder that some of the best moments in life don't need to be rushed, shared, or optimized — they just need to be lived. If you grew up in the 80s, this will feel familiar.If you didn't, this will help you understand why it still matters.

In this episode, I explore the intersection of digital behavior and psychology, using a hypothetical case study of a woman named Susan to illustrate how algorithms create detailed psychological profiles based on online activity. The discussion delves into various psychological frameworks and algorithms that analyze behavior, predict future actions, and influence decision-making. The episode raises critical questions about privacy, free will, and the implications of living in a world where our digital footprints are constantly monitored and analyzed.

Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.In this powerful and deeply human episode, I sit down with Jillian, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at just 7 years old in 1991 — growing up in what many now call the dark ages of diabetes care.Jillian's story is layered, emotional, and incredibly insightful. Raised by a mother who also lived with Type 1 diabetes, she navigated childhood, adolescence, eating disorders, evolving technology, and eventually three healthy pregnancies— all while learning what actually works for her body through Dr Richard K. Bernstein's teachings.

What if the stories we tell about ourselves are no longer penned by human hands but by the invisible algorithms that govern our digital lives? As we navigate a world where social media feeds and search engines curate our identities, the question emerges: are we the authors of our own narratives, or mere characters in a story dictated by data? This episode uncovers the subtle ways algorithms shape our self-perception and social interactions, prompting us to reconsider the very essence of our humanity in a technology-driven age. Join us as we unravel the intricate tapestry woven by code and consciousness, and discover the profound implications for how we define who we are.

Pool Pros text questions hereIn this episode, Natalie Hood sits down with Ryan Walker to unpack how retail sales in the pool industry have evolved over the last two decades—and what dealers, builders, and retailers need to understand to stay competitive today.From the rise of online shopping and social media influence to changing homeowner expectations and shifting economic realities, this conversation challenges long-held myths about retail, sales strategy, and customer behavior. Ryan draws on 20 years of experience across lifeguarding, distribution, manufacturing representation, and national sales to explain why the future of pool retail isn't about fighting online competition—but learning how to work alongside it.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeRetail Isn't Dead—It's Evolving Ryan explains why online sales are no longer the enemy of brick-and-mortar stores and how retailers can use online visibility as a tool rather than a threat. Homeowners today expect convenience, information, and options—and stores that adapt win loyalty.Why Personal Service Still Wins Despite access to Amazon, TikTok, and Instagram, customers are still willing to pay more for expertise, education, and a trusted relationship. Retailers who focus on solving problems—not just selling products—stand out.The Power of Analytics, Algorithms, and Social Media From phones “listening” to user behavior to influencers shaping purchasing decisions, Natalie and Ryan break down how digital marketing now drives customer expectations before they ever walk into a store.Selling the Solution, Not the Product Ryan emphasizes that customers don't need technical jargon—they need someone who understands their pain points. Whether it's water loss, recurring algae, or sanitizer confusion, great sales start with the right questions.Breaking the ‘We've Always Done It This Way' Mindset Long-standing habits can quietly cap growth. This episode explores how flexibility, testing new ideas, and being open to global trends can increase profitability without sacrificing integrity.Why Dealers Must Show What's Possible Just like car dealerships show upgraded models, pool professionals should present options—even if the customer thinks they want the “basic” version. Many homeowners don't know what's available until someone shows them.Economic Reality Has Changed From rising costs to dual-income households and post-COVID income shifts, the conversation highlights why price sensitivity isn't what it used to be—and why experience and value matter more than shaving a few dollars off the ticket.Key Takeaways• Online competition is unavoidable—but it can be leveraged • Education and trust justify premium pricing • Customers want guidance, not resistance • Social media shapes expectations before the sale • Retail success depends on adaptability and curiosity • Selling without passion turns stores into warehousesAbout the GuestRyan Walker brings more than 20 years of industry experience, starting as a lifeguard and facility manager before moving into distribution, manufacturing representation, and national sales.

What if the very frameworks we trust to navigate our digital lives have become the unseen arbiters of our fate? In "Algorithms: Our Digital Deities?", we peel back the layers of code and complexity to reveal the profound implications of algorithmic governance. As these digital entities shape our choices, beliefs, and even our identities, we question whether we are the creators of these gods or merely their followers. Join us as we unravel the intricate dance between human intention and machine logic, challenging the very essence of free will in an algorithm-driven world.

“A business needs to sell. If someone is annoyed by that, that's on them.” - Kirsten RoldanIn a time where AI can generate endless words in seconds, it's tempting to believe that writing no longer matters. But for those of us trying to build sustainable, ethical, burnout-resistant businesses, the opposite is proving true. The ability to clearly articulate what you do, who you help, and why it matters has never been more critical. Algorithms change, platforms rise and fall, but trust is still built through authentic human communication.For many clinicians, marketing doesn't feel aligned with the way we work with clients. Social media moves fast and rewards flashiness, but the care most practitioners value is built slowly, through consistency and trust. Long-form writing, like email, offers a different path that allows you to slow down, connect directly with your community, and build a business that doesn't depend on constant visibility or output at the expense of your nervous system.Today, I'm joined by Kirsten Roldan, Nuyorican Business Coach and Burnout Expert, to talk about why email marketing remains one of the most effective and practitioner-friendly business foundations available. We talk about the difference between permission-based and performance-based marketing, how small lists can generate meaningful revenue, why selling clearly is an act of service, common mistakes practitioners make when building email lists, how to write emails that actually get read, why developing your writing voice is essential, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!---Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/why-email-marketing-is-key-to-having-a-peaceful-burnout-free-womens-health-business/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).Find and follow us @integrativewomenshealth on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@integrativewomenshealth) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/integrativewomenshealth/).

We often think of Large Language Models (LLMs) as all-knowing, but as the team reveals, they still struggle with the logic of a second-grader. Why can't ChatGPT reliably add large numbers? Why does it "hallucinate" the laws of physics? The answer lies in the architecture. This episode explores how *Category Theory* —an ultra-abstract branch of mathematics—could provide the "Periodic Table" for neural networks, turning the "alchemy" of modern AI into a rigorous science.In this deep-dive exploration, *Andrew Dudzik*, *Petar Velichkovich*, *Taco Cohen*, *Bruno Gavranović*, and *Paul Lessard* join host *Tim Scarfe* to discuss the fundamental limitations of today's AI and the radical mathematical framework that might fix them.TRANSCRIPT:https://app.rescript.info/public/share/LMreunA-BUpgP-2AkuEvxA7BAFuA-VJNAp2Ut4MkMWk---Key Insights in This Episode:* *The "Addition" Problem:* *Andrew Dudzik* explains why LLMs don't actually "know" math—they just recognize patterns. When you change a single digit in a long string of numbers, the pattern breaks because the model lacks the internal "machinery" to perform a simple carry operation.* *Beyond Alchemy:* deep learning is currently in its "alchemy" phase—we have powerful results, but we lack a unifying theory. Category Theory is proposed as the framework to move AI from trial-and-error to principled engineering. [00:13:49]* *Algebra with Colors:* To make Category Theory accessible, the guests use brilliant analogies—like thinking of matrices as *magnets with colors* that only snap together when the types match. This "partial compositionality" is the secret to building more complex internal reasoning. [00:09:17]* *Synthetic vs. Analytic Math:* *Paul Lessard* breaks down the philosophical shift needed in AI research: moving from "Analytic" math (what things are made of) to "Synthetic" math [00:23:41]---Why This Matters for AGIIf we want AI to solve the world's hardest scientific problems, it can't just be a "stochastic parrot." It needs to internalize the rules of logic and computation. By imbuing neural networks with categorical priors, researchers are attempting to build a future where AI doesn't just predict the next word—it understands the underlying structure of the universe.---TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 The Failure of LLM Addition & Physics00:01:26 Tool Use vs Intrinsic Model Quality00:03:07 Efficiency Gains via Internalization00:04:28 Geometric Deep Learning & Equivariance00:07:05 Limitations of Group Theory00:09:17 Category Theory: Algebra with Colors00:11:25 The Systematic Guide of Lego-like Math00:13:49 The Alchemy Analogy & Unifying Theory00:15:33 Information Destruction & Reasoning00:18:00 Pathfinding & Monoids in Computation00:20:15 System 2 Reasoning & Error Awareness00:23:31 Analytic vs Synthetic Mathematics00:25:52 Morphisms & Weight Tying Basics00:26:48 2-Categories & Weight Sharing Theory00:28:55 Higher Categories & Emergence00:31:41 Compositionality & Recursive Folds00:34:05 Syntax vs Semantics in Network Design00:36:14 Homomorphisms & Multi-Sorted Syntax00:39:30 The Carrying Problem & Hopf FibrationsPetar Veličković (GDM)https://petar-v.com/Paul Lessardhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-roy-lessard/Bruno Gavranovićhttps://www.brunogavranovic.com/Andrew Dudzik (GDM)https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-dudzik-222789142/---REFERENCES:Model:[00:01:05] Veohttps://deepmind.google/models/veo/[00:01:10] Geniehttps://deepmind.google/blog/genie-3-a-new-frontier-for-world-models/Paper:[00:04:30] Geometric Deep Learning Blueprinthttps://arxiv.org/abs/2104.13478https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIZB1hIJ4u8[00:16:45] AlphaGeometryhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2401.08312[00:16:55] AlphaCodehttps://arxiv.org/abs/2203.07814[00:17:05] FunSearchhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06924-6[00:37:00] Attention Is All You Needhttps://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762[00:43:00] Categorical Deep Learninghttps://arxiv.org/abs/2402.15332

What if our smartest health tools still miss the people who need them most? We sit down with AI and digital health scientist Mireille Gomes to examine how innovation can serve dignity, not just efficiency—and what it takes to build technology that works from Geneva to rural clinics without electricity.The journey of Mireille Gomes spans continents and roles, from vaccine strategy at Gavi to AI diagnostics at Merck. Together, we unpack the real barriers to deployment—uneven infrastructure, overworked staff, and data voids that erase entire communities from the record. We look at consent‑first design, why open data must be truly anonymous, and how representation in civil registration and vital statistics underpins every “fair” algorithm. You'll hear pragmatic ideas for triage tools that flag urgency in seconds, health education in local languages, and micro‑local models that adapt to context while sharing standards globally.We also push on the hard questions: Who decides which data matters? Can algorithms be biased toward justice if the world is not? Where is the line between breakthrough and overreach when crises demand speed? Mirielle argues for building abuse cases into development, testing for misuse before launch, and preserving community storytelling—especially Indigenous knowledge—alongside dashboards. The goal is health equity by design, so no one's care depends on their birthplace or bandwidth.If you care about AI in healthcare, data justice, and solutions that actually work on the ground, this conversation offers a clear roadmap and candid guardrails.

This week, we break down Albo's defensive masterclass on Sunrise where he pulls off the classic "I'm not the finance minister" dodge, name-drops Sussan Ley, and attempts the slowest political pivot in history — all while journalists actually hold his feet to the fire about ministerial spending. Beauty Pageant Politics: The Million Dollar Distraction While the Murdoch media machine goes into overdrive about Annika Wells' travel expenses, we expose the cherry-picked outrage for what it really is: beauty pageant politics designed to distract you from the real scams. Sure, politicians waste a million bucks on flights — but while you're focused on that, Labor's taking $600,000 from gambling companies and refusing to ban gambling ads that cost Aussies $31 billion a year. We do the bad maths: if banning gambling ads reduced losses by just 3%, that's a billion dollars back in punters' pockets — or a thousand times more than all the ministerial travel rorts combined. Transurban's Toll Scam: The Junk Fee Heist Nobody's Talking About Konrad gets absolutely fleeced by Transurban's toll fee scam — $40 in tolls, $50 in junk fees — and breaks down every single predatory charge this legal monopoly hits you with: $10 admin fees, $0.75 "video matching" fees, $15 non-return tag fees, and a dozen other made-up charges that would make a Nigerian prince blush. Plus, we float the idea of a digital toll protest: what if 100,000 punters just stopped paying until Transurban pays their fair share of tax? It's a toll hostage situation — you want your money? Start acting like a legitimate business. Also: Konrad rates his own political redirect performance, we answer Spotify comments about whether One Nation is taking over the Libs, and we're officially on a government-mandated break until February (probably).

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Paul Vermeersch about his new collection of poetry, NMLCT (ECW Press, 2025). Fables and fairy tales collide with virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and monstrous myths in a world where no one knows what to believe. In his eighth book of poems, Paul Vermeersch responds to the increasing difficulty of knowing what is real and what isn't, what is our genuine experience and what is constructed for us by The Algorithm. In a “post-truth” society rife with simulations, misinformation, and computer-generated hallucinations, these poems explore the relationship between the synthetic and the authentic as they raise hope for the possibility of escape from MCHNCT (Machine City) to NMLCT (Animal City), where the promise of “real life” still exists. Paul Vermeersch is a poet, multimedia artist, and literary editor. His last book of poetry was Shared Universe: New and Selected Poems 1995–2020. A professor of creative writing and publishing at Sheridan College, he also edits his own imprint, Buckrider Books, for Wolsak & Wynn Publishers. He lives in Toronto, ON.

Dive into the unrelenting truth on "Joe Oltmann Untamed," where Joe dissects the Brown University shooting a homeless man's Reddit post cracking the case wide open, exposing zero security cameras in a building where tuition hits $71,700 a year. With the suspect entering via the Diversity Visa lottery, Trump and Kristi Noem swiftly suspend the program, while a transgender police spokesperson dodges straight talk on the killer. Tim Pool, Dan Bongino, and Kash Patel weigh in as Joe rages at the deadly cost of woke priorities over student safety.We have digital pioneer Richard Ryan join Joe to expose algorithm warfare. The software developer who built early YouTube monetization tools and generated billions of views reveals how Big Tech deliberately suppresses voices, manipulates feeds, and engineers societal division asking if government pressure or profit drives the censorship machine. From shadow-banning to AI-fueled outrage cycles, Richard lays out the threat to free speech and whether decentralized tech can finally break Silicon Valley's grip.The show closes with Fun Friday fury as Joe roasts liberal insanity: a Wisconsin judge convicted for helping an illegal escape ICE, Minneapolis launching a human feces map like San Francisco, teary Democrats mourning Trump's name on the Kennedy Center, and activists blocking deportations. Clips of ungrateful illegals and ICE interference drive home the message America's tolerance has limits. "Joe Oltmann Untamed" delivers raw laughs, righteous anger, and unfiltered truth: tune in, wake up, and fight back!

Andy opens the hour breaking down the wild power of the internet, explaining how online communities, Reddit users, and everyday citizens sharing Ring and dashcam footage helped identify the suspect in the Brown University and MIT professor killings. Andy and Rahner talk about how “see something, say something” has evolved in the digital age — and why crowdsourced sleuthing now plays a real role in modern investigations.The hour then turns lighter as Andy dissects a familiar LA phenomenon: restaurants going viral by claiming “no one is talking about this” or “everyone is talking about this,” and why that phrasing works so well with social media algorithms. Things get even more relatable as last-minute Christmas shopping chaos takes over, with Rahner describing Costco as “apocalypse busy,” before Andy shares the unbelievable story of a missing Kentucky woman found alive with a new identity more than four decades later — a case straight out of peak America’s Most Wanted era. Andy wraps the hour by opening the phone lines ahead of an upcoming game with his friend and show “music man,” Jack Primavera.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kate Wolf is joined by two of today's finest film critics to discuss the current state of Hollywood—including the sale of Warner Brothers Discovery—the art of writing about movies, and some of the year's best films. Up first is critic A.S. Hamrah, author of two new books: Last Week In End Times Cinema, which compiles the relentless follies of the film industry from March of 2024 to 2025 in an annals of ever-winnowing corporate conglomeration and AI speculation, and Algorithm of the Night: Film Writing 2019-2025. Next, Melissa Anderson discusses her latest book, The Hunger: Film Writing 2012-2024. A self-proclaimed "acteurist" whose attention often centers on a film's star rather than its plot, Anderson's criticism engages with movies on an affective level, charting her own pleasure, desire, and occasional disgust. Here she talks about grounding her writing in queer and feminist politics and how her ardent cinephilia is born of a sense of open-minded curiosity, hopefulness, and the willingness to be transported.

Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri joins Mixed Signals to talk about what Instagram actually is in 2025, and what it isn't. Max and Ben ask about the platform's new move onto TV screens, the dominance of Reels and DMs, and whether “everything is becoming television.” Mosseri also explains how the company is competing with TikTok and YouTube, and whether "AI slop" is a legitimate concern for social media feeds.

Algorithms and AI don't just show us reality — they warp it in ways that benefit platforms built to exploit people for profit, says etymologist Adam Aleksic. From ChatGPT influencing our word choices to Spotify turning a data cluster into a new musical genre, he reveals how new technology subconsciously shapes our language, trends and sense of identity. "These aren't neutral tools," he says, encouraging us to constantly ask ourselves: How am I being influenced?(After the talk, Aleksic sits down with Elise Hu, host of TED Talks Daily podcast, to discuss how he became interested in language and its evolution — from writing on leaves, clay and stone to AI models like ChatGPT.)

Do you feel like your Facebook ads are suddenly wasting money, but you can't pinpoint why? Are you looking for a way to adapt your strategy to Meta's latest AI-driven algorithm changes without guessing what works? To discover how to navigate the new Andromeda algorithm and use a specific creative strategy to lower your costs, I interview Tara Zirker.Guest: Tara Zirker | Show Notes: socialmediaexaminer.com/697Review our show on Apple Podcasts.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You know that feeling when you spend half your day chasing trends, tweaking hashtags, and wondering why your brilliant post is showing up three days late in someone's feed? Yeah, me too. That's why I sat down with Alice Seba, a content marketing pro who's been helping online publishers turn persuasive content into real revenue for more than twenty years. She's sold millions of dollars' worth of content — and she swears the secret isn't outsmarting the algorithm. It's out-connecting it. As Alice put it, “You don't need the algorithm to notice you if your community does. When you connect, collaborate, and share stories, you build something the algorithm can't touch — real relationships.” And that's the magic. When you stop trying to please the algorithm gods and start showing up for actual humans, you get noticed by the people who really matter — even when the social media winds shift. Here are a few big takeaways from our chat: Stop chasing the algorithm. Your business isn't with code; it's with people. Spend your energy on conversations — comments, DMs, collaborations — the kind that build real community and loyalty. Build your own audience. Social platforms change faster than fashion trends, but your email list is forever. Offer something useful, keep it conversational, and land in their inbox where you actually belong. Make your offers sound human. Ditch the sales pitch. Mention your freebie or toolkit the same way you'd share a good book recommendation with a friend. Helpful, not pushy. Use social time wisely. Ten intentional minutes beats an hour of doom-scrolling. Pop in, connect, and get out before you start comparing your breakfast to someone else's curated lifestyle. When you strip away all the noise, the algorithm might be unpredictable, people aren't. They remember who shows up, who listens, and who actually cares. Because no algorithm can replace a genuine connection — and honestly, that's the best kind of marketing there is.

The Art of Keeping Things Separate This topic comes up more than people admit. Usually in a whisper. Or an email that starts with, "This might be a weird question…" It's not weird. It's just complicated. A lot of actors are working in NSFW or spicy spaces. Erotica audiobooks. Adult games. ASMR. OnlyFans. Patreon. Sensual storytelling. And at the same time, they're booking e-learning, commercials, family-friendly narration, children's content. The work itself isn't the problem. The overlap is. So I want to talk about how to keep those worlds separate in a way that's professional, grounded, and sane. Not from a morality angle. From a business one. Why This Feels So Loaded Most of the discomfort doesn't come from the work. It comes from fear. Fear of being judged. Fear of being misunderstood. Fear that one client will see something they weren't meant to see and make a snap decision about you. And honestly? That fear isn't irrational. Algorithms don't understand nuance. Brand managers don't scroll thoughtfully. Google definitely doesn't care about context. So when people ask, "Should I be hiding this?" what they're really asking is, "How do I protect my career without betraying myself?" That's the real question. What Separation Actually Is Separating your spicy work is not about shame. It's about clarity. You're not hiding your art. You're organizing it. Just like authors use different names for different genres, actors can use separate identities for separate audiences. A pseudonym. A distinct brand. A different website, email, and social presence. Both are real. Both are you. They just serve different people. When everything lives in one place, clients get confused. And confused clients don't book. Clear clients do. The Practical Line in the Sand A few things matter more than people realize. Separate branding. Different headshots, colors, fonts, tone. If one side of your work says PBS and the other says sultry midnight headphones, they should not look related. Separate metadata. File names, tags, credits. This is where people accidentally connect dots they never meant to connect. Separate systems. Emails. Phone numbers. Invoicing if you can. Boundaries get easier when logistics support them. None of this makes you secretive. It makes you intentional. When the Worlds Almost Touch This is the moment that spikes everyone's nervous system. Someone recognizes your voice. A link gets shared accidentally. A client stumbles across something unexpected. Here's the rule. Don't panic. If you're comfortable acknowledging it, a simple line works: "I work in multiple genres under different names to keep my projects organized." That's it. No explanation tour. No justification. You're allowed to run your business like a business. And if you're not comfortable bridging those worlds, quiet consistency does the work for you. No cross-linking. No wink-wink posts. No mixing lanes just this once. Something We Don't Talk About Enough Adult performance work can take real emotional energy. Just like screaming in video games. Just like intense drama. Just like anything that asks your nervous system to open. So recovery matters. Boundaries matter. Choice matters. Doing one kind of spicy work does not obligate you to do all of it. Your comfort line is allowed to move, but it's also allowed to exist. Take care of the system holding all of this. One artist. One body. One brain. A Thought I'm Sitting With People assume separation means being two different people. I don't see it that way. I see one whole artist with range and boundaries. Different lighting. Different outfits. Same integrity. The goal isn't secrecy. It's sovereignty. You decide who sees what, where, and when. That's not avoidance. That's professionalism.

The power of authenticity, website usability, and new monetization opportunities with Rachel Cunliffe. ----- Welcome to episode 549 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Rachel Cunliffe of Cre8d Design.  Finding Your Authentic Voice and Scaling Your Food Blog with Rachel Cunliffe This episode is packed with wisdom on thriving in the current food blogging landscape! Rachel Cunliffe, who tracks all the trends in her Best Served Hot newsletter, emphasizes that you absolutely have to stop chasing every trend out there and lean into your own style. Your authentic voice and that irreplaceable "human touch" are the only things guaranteed to truly connect with your audience, even as AI enters the mix. This is your number one priority for sustainable growth! Beyond the content, Rachel reminds us that the basics still matter: website usability and good design are often neglected, but they are crucial for keeping users happy (and staying monetized). With the food blogging market constantly evolving, success requires striking a balance between a strong, unique voice and paying attention to new monetization opportunities! Three episode takeaways: Stop chasing trends and be yourself: Rachel stresses that in today's chaotic online world, authenticity is your secret weapon. Algorithms may shift, but the irreplaceable "human touch" and your unique voice are the only things that truly connect with and grow your audience sustainably. Focus on your strengths and let your genuine self shine!  Design matters more than you think: While we obsess over SEO keywords, Rachel points out that basic website usability and design are often totally neglected. Think of your site like your kitchen: if it's messy and hard to navigate, guests (and Google!) won't stick around. Don't skip the step of making your site genuinely pleasant to use. The food blogging landscape is changing: The food blogging landscape is still growing, but the rules are evolving. It's time to look beyond traditional display ads. Pay attention to new monetization opportunities and remember that balancing that authentic voice with smart strategy is the key to thriving in this market shift.

The most dangerous part isn't the misinformation itself–it's how believable it looks.In this cautionary episode, Sharran exposes how social media algorithms manipulate what you believe, especially about money. He reveals that most viral financial content isn't built to help you–it's built to profit from your clicks. Backed by shocking data from FINRA, Sharran explains why over 70% of online finance posts fail basic compliance standards and how influencers earn more from your attention than your success.He dives into the psychology of algorithmic incentives, showing how platforms reward confidence over accuracy and how that distorts the truth. You'll also learn three simple rules to spot fake gurus and protect yourself from misleading advice online.
