After looking back at the most (and least) popular episodes from the past year or so, I share the story of almost dying when I lost my brakes (with five South African friends in tow) going down a 14,700 ft. mountain pass in Tibet. Then, we run through a few China stories that have been sitting on the backburner for awhile, followed by the final Pray for China of the year (Dec 29-Jan 4). Check out all the links/details below! Welcome to China Compass on the Fight Laugh Feast network (Christian Podcast Community)! I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. Follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where I share a new Chinese city or county to pray for every day. Send any questions or comments to chinacompass@privacyport.com. Everything else can be easily found at PrayGiveGo.us! Also, I’m now on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/c/chinacompass), which not only allows for donations, but also lets me sort podcast episodes into various collections, making it easier to find all the episodes on a certain topic or region, like Tibet, North Korea, or Hong Kong. Check out this past week’s bonus Christmas episode with my wife and daughter… Speaking of old episodes, I want to do a sort of Year-End Round Up of the episodes which received the most downloads (and which ones were listened to the least). And since I didn’t do this at the end of last year, I’ll also give the top and bottom three from 2024 (my first year): Top 3 Episodes from 2025: Dec 5: Doug Wilson Joins China Compass (2286) Sept 13: Charlie Kirk: “America Must Shape Up, or China Wins” (1745) Virtual Tie- Apr 20: Easter in a Chinese Church │"Ignorant Hillbilly" Vance Insults China's Peasants (1551) Virtual Tie- Aug 30: Are All Chinese Students Commies and Spies? (Deace Says Yea, I Say Nay) (1548) Bottom 3 Episodes from 2025: Jan 1: More Prostitutes or Pastors in China? / Near Death on New Year's (Prison Pulpit)(967) Feb 7: In the Face of a Secret Trial, What Will I Do? (Prison Pulpit)(952) July 24: Syrian Pastor/Family Massacred (They Shot Patients In Bed) (Prison Pulpit) (903) Top 3 Episodes from 2024: Aug 24: Tim Walz: China Asset? + Black Dragon River & Double Duck Mountain (1864) Aug 17: From Chinese Reality TV to NSA, Chatting with Brent in Moscow (ID) (1743) Sep 14: Millions of Unadoptable Babies + China's 3 Forbidden "Ts" (& Martyrs of Tianjin) (1680) Bottom 3 Episodes from 2024: 11-21: Wang Yi on God's Use of China's "Unrighteous Politics" (Prison Pulpit #5) (1077) 11-15: Wang Yi on God Raising Up and Deposing Dictators (Prison Pulpit #4) (1006) 12-5: Wang Yi's Pre-Arrest Family Newsletter (Prison Pulpit #7) (1005) Bonus: Top 3 States (TX, CA, VA + WA) & Nations (CA, UK, AU) (+ Bottom States (WY, RI, DE) (Obscure stats: Fiji, Vanuatu, Georgia, 100+ total, 16 in Africa, China=WY, Romania vs Bulgaria) 15 Years Ago This Week (Dec 29): Runaway Van in Tibet @ 14,000 Feet https://chinacall.substack.com/p/runaway-van-14700-feet Now Available on Amazon (+ free PDF): The Millionaire Missionary (BordenofYale.com) Borden’s Missed Opportunity? Borden had a very fruitful ministry both at Yale and Princeton during his tenure as a student, and it strikes me that student ministry in China may have been a better use of his talents than what had been planned for him among the unreached Muslims of NW China. But hindsight is 20/20, and Borden never made it back to China at all (besides his first tour as a teenager). Campus ministry in China has been very fruitful for the past 40+ years, but has become much more difficult recently. Here’s a new article from within China that explains the current situation: Chinese Campus Ministry Troubles https://chinapartnership.org/blog/2025/12/changchun-reaching-campus/ No Tibetan in Chinese Schools https://www.rfa.org/english/tibet/2025/01/02/tibet-china-enforces-restrictions-students/ Chinese Refugee Church Planters? https://chinapartnership.org/blog/2024/12/immigrant-church-in-southeast-asia/ Is China Still a Developing Country? https://www.voanews.com/a/is-china-still-a-developing-country/7244652.html Taiwan Survives Another New Year Celebration https://asiatimes.com/2025/01/note-from-taiwan-the-players-on-the-eve-of-destruction/ Finally, let's take a look at this coming week's Pray for China (PrayforChina.us) cities… Dec 29-Jan 4: https://chinacall.substack.com/p/pray-for-china-dec-29-jan-4-2025 Thank you for listening!

Also, I've finally set up Patreon, but my favorite thing isn't the (potential) support, but the ability to create Collections of podcasts by topic, location, etc… There’s also a Paypal link at PrayforChina.us if you’d like to give to our China ministry.

Delve into the haunting untold stories from the Idaho student murders' sole survivors in this gripping exposé from Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review – a look back at the biggest cases of the year. As Bryan Kohberger endures four life sentences after his July 2025 guilty plea, we uncover what the two surviving roommates truly knew—or suspected—about the criminology PhD student lurking in their shadows. Fresh interviews and leaked details reveal their muffled screams during the November 13, 2022, massacre, post-attack 911 calls riddled with fear, and why their "party girl" alibis clashed with Kohberger's stalking patterns at WSU. Did they spot his white Elantra circling the block? How did trauma blackouts and police questioning gaps fuel defense third-party theories—only to crumble under sheath DNA and Amazon premed buys? This Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski: True Crime Today retrospective spotlights the plea deal's savage aftermath: A frantic 48-hour negotiation that excluded victims' families, sparking leaked emails branding it a "betrayal." The Goncalves clan's rage boiled over, demanding full disclosure and fueling their November 19, 2025, WSU lawsuit over ignored red flags like Kohberger's creepy surveys and campus prowls. We dissect roommate testimonies' role in sealing the Boise venue shift, jury safeguards, and why their accounts amplified prosecution wins—tying eerie pre-murder vibes to post-sentencing restitution wars, including the $30K fund and urn reimbursements from the November 5 hearing. True crime enthusiasts, this is riveting: From survivor psyches scarred by silence to the plea pact's ethical minefield, it's a 2025 essential unpacking accountability voids in the #Idaho4 horror. Expert insights on witness reliability and family fallout make it a must for decoding dodged death row drama. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #SurvivingRoommates #PleaDealFury #TrueCrime #KohbergerSecrets #Idaho4 #HiddenKillers2025 #CrimeYearInReview #WSULawsuit #TrueCrimePodcast #MurderSurvivors Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Congressman Jim Clyburn is a legendary statesman whose influence spans from advising presidents to serving as a beacon of change and unity in American politics. Representing South Carolina, he is not only a champion of justice and progress but has also shaped the course of history with his powerful endorsements and unyielding voice. With deep roots in the civil rights movement and a life devoted to public service, Congressman Clyburn's impact resonates across generations—especially inspiring young leaders and change-makers to envision what's possible through mentorship, storytelling, and unwavering purpose. Takeaways: Legacy and Representation: Congressman Clyburn's new book, The First Eight, uncovers the overlooked history of the eight African Americans who served in Congress from South Carolina before him, proving the power of representation and the importance of knowing one's history. Mentorship by Example: Though Clyburn didn't personally know his forerunners, their stories and those of his own father provided mentorship from afar—showing that guidance and inspiration often transcend direct relationships. Power of Storytelling: Clyburn emphasizes the importance of learning outside traditional education, absorbing wisdom from lived experiences, and communicating with passion and inclusivity—skills he encourages the next generation to develop for real impact. Sound Bytes: “No, before I was first, there were eight.” “Robert Smalls is the most consequential South Carolinian, bar none.” “There's a certain amount of education that you gotta get outside of the books.” Connect & Discover Jim: Instagram: @clyburnsc06 Facebook: @ClyburnforCongress X:  @RepJamesClyburn YouTube: @RepJamesClyburn Website: Congressman James E.

Jesus said, "Don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing."   But does that really mean Christians should never talk about giving?   In this episode, Bob and Linda tackle one of the most misunderstood passages in the Bible—and why misreading it has quietly hurt generosity, discipleship, and spiritual growth in the church.   Sparked by a viral clip referencing Matthew 6, they walk through what Jesus was actually addressing (motive, not visibility), why public generosity shows up all over Scripture, and how sharing testimonies—when done with the right heart—can inspire radical obedience in others. This isn't about bragging.   It's about obedience, clarity, and letting God get the glory.       What You'll Learn in This Episode Why Matthew 6 is about motive, not secrecy How applying "give in secret" consistently would silence prayer and testimony too The difference between generosity that inspires vs generosity that performs Why public generosity is everywhere in Scripture (Barnabas, the Macedonian church, Zacchaeus, the widow's mite, Mary anointing Jesus) How generosity becomes contagious when stories are shared Practical ways to check your heart before sharing a testimony When God says "share it" — and when He says "keep it quiet"   Key Scriptures Mentioned (NLT) Matthew 6:1–4 — Giving with the right motive Acts 4–5 — Barnabas vs. Ananias & Sapphira Luke 19:8–9 — Zacchaeus' public repentance and generosity 2 Corinthians 8–9 — The Macedonian church & contagious generosity   A Key Takeaway God isn't after secrecy for secrecy's sake. He's after hearts that give for His glory, not human applause. Some generosity should be quiet. Some testimonies are meant to be shared. The wisdom is knowing the difference—and having the courage to obey either way.     Action Item for This Week Ask God one simple question in prayer: "Is there a generosity story You want me to share—or one You want me to keep private?" Then obey, even if it feels uncomfortable.     Generosity isn't about being seen—it's about letting God be seen.

-Una intro con los mejores momentos-Tiempo de recopilar rápidamente lo mejor del año-El porque armamos la banda de la pensión no fue por mamadores, fue la liberación de cada uno-El ultimo chismografo del año-Criss nos contara y confesara un delito el cual por temas legales fue lo que soño y no sucedió pero el altercado involucra un leve choque en el cual desmadro un coche completamente al punto de dejarlo inservible y vengo a varios ciudadanos indefensos porque el es el caballero de la noche, Clonaman. Digamos que hizo lo que tenía que hacer porque le colmo la paciencia un borracho, pero para más detalles ps ve el video que fueron 2 horas de historia de Criss vs un borracho.-Fede nos cuenta como tocar el bajo y comenzar a tocar con la banda de la pensión lo ayudo mucho este año a sobrellevar problemas de la vida y como para todos fue el deshago de muchas cosas que pasaron en el año-Antes de terminar criss nos contará su nueva adquisión, un duende que puede aprender como niño de 5 años, por lo que el próximo año estará en el set y le enseñaremos el ingles sin barreras y a tocar el piano para que nos saque de chambear a ver si si es cierto.Escúchanos en Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2hIY32m7kl5mixXkwnjTBd?si=cf0e8514ff5a4a42Escúchanos en Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/mx/podcast...

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Do you want to get hired at Life Time Fitness, Equinox, Crunch, YMCA, LA Fitness, or One Life? How to Become A Successful Personal Trainer Vol. 2 has an entire chapter (Ch. 5) dedicated to helping you develop your resume, interview and get hired. Want a recruiter to say “yes” before they finish their coffee? We walk through a practical blueprint for landing interviews at Equinox, Lifetime, and other top gyms—starting with a one-page resume that signals credibility in seconds. You'll hear how to write a sharp objective, place certifications and CPR/AED where managers expect them, and use the right keywords so your resume survives ATS filters without pretending to hold credentials you don't have.We dig into the real difference-makers: quantifying outcomes and showing breadth. Instead of vague claims, learn how to present 300+ coaching hours, retention rates, monthly sales figures, and program results that match tiered coaching models. We explain how to reference NSCA needs analysis, ACSM risk stratification, and FMS screening as proficiencies, not certifications, to demonstrate a wider toolkit. You'll also hear a before-and-after resume example, complete with measurable achievements, client variety, and clear timelines that prove reliability.Then we shift from paper to performance. We share how to prep for the recruiter screen, avoid filler words, and research each company's tiers and assessments so your answers land. If your dream gym feels out of reach, we offer a playbook: get interview reps elsewhere, build confidence, leverage seminars for warm referrals, and use mentorship to keep momentum steady. Rejections happen; smart trainers translate “not yet” into a stronger reapply. Ready to turn a cold resume into a warm introduction and a scheduled interview?Subscribe, share with a trainer friend, and leave a review to help more coaches get hired at elite gyms.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

Todd Bishop and John Cook reflect on the top tech stories of 2025, a pivotal year defined by the AI boom's dual nature: massive infrastructure spending alongside widespread layoffs. We discuss Bill Gates' framing of AI as "intelligence becoming free," the tension between tech workers and corporate mandates to adopt AI, and the "best of times, worst of times" dichotomy playing out at Microsoft, Amazon, and across the industry. We also cover the top story of the year — UW rethinking its computer science curriculum — the Statsig acquisition by OpenAI, Seattle's competitive position, and the human side of tech through Ambika Singh's heartfelt speech at the GeekWire Awards. Featuring audio clips from Gates, Satya Nadella, Andy Jassy, Ken Jennings, and more. Audio editing by Curt Milton.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What are you waiting for? It's almost time for the 2026 New Year's Goal Setting Party! Create the life of your dreams one year at a time.I'm SO excited to drop this episode today because this simpe habit I've started has CHANGED MA LIFE, Y'ALL! If you've ever reached the end of the day and wondered “Where the hell did my time go?” this episode is going to change your life. We're diving into the magic of hourly time logging, the simple, eye-opening habit that shows you exactly how you're spending your days so you can take your power back. I break down how tracking your time hour by hour reveals your hidden energy leaks, your productivity sweet spots, and the places you're unintentionally self-sabotaging. If you're a busy mum, a business owner, or someone constantly feeling behind, this tool will give you clarity, control, and a deep sense of calm. It's like giving your brain a reset button. I'm very aware of the Parkinson Rule, that a task will take up the amount of time you give it, and so just a few months into my girls being at school I've gone from feeling liberated to just as busy as I was before. Nah. That's not for me. Something had to change. We're going to explore how time logging becomes a manifesting tool. Instead of living reactively, you begin designing your week with intention, choosing who gets your time, where your energy goes and what truly matters. This episode is packed with practical tips, real-life examples, and the mindset shifts that make this habit stick. If you want more productivity, more peace, and more time for the things that actually light you up, you're going to love this one.How to do it. Starting at the beginning of your work day, begin logging on a notebook or the notes section of your phone the hour. So for me I start at 9;30am and the first section will be 9:30 - 10:30. Then as you go about your tasks list everything you do within that hour time block. If you scroll on social media for 10 minutes, list it. If you reply to a couple of emails, list it. It all goes on! Now, as always, I think the magic is in sharing it. I've been sharing mine with those I work with and that gives extra motivation. Could you share your time logging with a colleague, partner or a friend who is also struggling with their time management? See how much you can get done when you are doing this. It will astound you! If you want to take this further and feel less overwhelmed in your home life too, you can begin to log your hours outside of work too. Now, the goal isn't to log every single hour of your life forevs, but it IS very illuminating and freeing. Since doing this I've been on top of my work, on top of my housework and more present with my children. Win, win, win! Let me know how you get on with it. Come and find me @francescaamber & @lawofattractionchangedmylife on Instagram - I would LOVE to hear from you.Join the Book Club B*tches We are the UK's largest self development book club.

The dialogue emphasizes the role of theology in understanding existence and the nature of reality, ultimately suggesting that mind may have created matter rather than the other way around.SummaryIn this conversation, TS Wright and Joshua Spatha delve into the age-old question of whether the chicken or the egg came first, exploring the deeper philosophical implications of mind versus matter.

The dialogue emphasizes the role of theology in understanding existence and the nature of reality, ultimately suggesting that mind may have created matter rather than the other way around.TakeawaysThe question of what came first, mind or matter, has been debated for centuries.The spiritual realm is often posited to have come before the material realm.Modern science tends to assume that matter produced mind, but this is debated.Philosophers like Plato have explored the existence of abstract concepts independent of human minds.The Big Bang Theory suggests that the universe had a beginning, implying a cause.Neuroscience studies indicate that the mind is not confined to the brain.There is no known location in the brain that corresponds to intellect or will.The evidence suggests that mind may have created matter, not the reverse.Theological perspectives provide insights into the nature of existence.Science relies on abstract concepts that cannot be proven by material means.Mentioned in this episode:Victory in 7 Book on Amazon - Get your copy today

Now that Christmas presents are unwrapped, many of you — you know who you are — will head to stores to return gifts and get what you actually want. But increasingly, retailers are charging for those returns. Then, a couple of months ago, more than 5 million shoppers embraced a boycott of three major retailers: Amazon, Home Depot, and Target. From "This Is Uncomfortable," we'll learn about the impact it had on shoppers.

This episode originally aired on March 12, 2025. Hollywood taught us to be afraid of a super powerful artificial intelligence that will one day conquer humanity. So not surprisingly, many screenwriters and actors are very skeptical of AI, and concerns about AI were central to the Hollywood labor strikes in 2023. But animators may actually be the most at risk of losing their jobs to AI. In this episode, we’ll talk about why the first AI generated movies you will see will likely be animated, and what it means for the people who make them, and for everyone else in Hollywood.

Episode No. 738 is a holiday clips episode featuring artist Wafaa Bilal. Earlier this year the MCA Chicago presented "Wafaa Bilal: Indulge Me," the first major survey of Bilal's work. Across his genres-busting career, the Iraqi-American Bilal has made performances, sculptures and related digital presentations that have interrogated the United States' relationship with and conduct within Iraq, the Middle East, and broader geopolitics. Bilal's work also investigates the notion of cultural cannibalism, the ways in which the culture of one people may be used, disassembled, and consumed by another. "Indulge Me" was curated by Bana Kattan. An invaluable catalogue was published by the MCA. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for $20-32. Bilal's work is in the collections of museums as unalike as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art Qatar. His work has been included in exhibitions at the Sharjah Art Foundation, Sharjah UAE; the Art Gallery at NYU Abu Dhabi; and the 2015 Venice Biennale. For images, please see Episode No. 704.

Unlock the hidden horrors of Bryan Kohberger's post-conviction world in this explosive double-feature from Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review – a look back at the biggest cases of the year. Fresh off his July 2025 guilty plea and four life sentences, dive into the frantic 48-hour plea negotiations that blindsided victims' families, with leaked emails exposing prosecutors' "betrayal" by cutting a no-death-penalty deal without full disclosure. Was it mercy or a rush to closure? Then, hear the chilling whispers from Kohberger's Pennsylvania jail guard—revealing his eerie nighttime pacing, inmate disturbances, and psychological unraveling behind bars that echo his pre-murder red flags at WSU. This Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski: True Crime Today retrospective dissects the plea drama: Defense's last-ditch survivor witness strategy scrapped, families' fury over the email snub, and how it dodged a capital trial spectacle. Shift to solitary confinement insights—guard accounts of Kohberger's isolation-induced "madness," sleep-deprived rants, and the mental toll mirroring FBI profiler warnings of his fractured psyche. These revelations amplify the Goncalves family's November 19, 2025, WSU lawsuit, alleging ignored stalking behaviors that could've prevented the #Idaho4 slaughter. Plus, restitution rifts: The $30K victim fund payout and urn cost battles post-November 5 hearing underscore ongoing justice fights. True crime die-hards, this is unmissable: From secret deal fallout to guard's front-row seat on a killer's breakdown, it's raw intel on accountability gaps in academia and prisons. Expert breakdowns tie it all to premeditated Amazon buys, sheath DNA, and why his calm facade cracked under lockup pressure. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #PleaDealExposed #JailGuardSecrets #TrueCrime #KohbergerLifeSentence #Idaho4 #HiddenKillers2025 #CrimeYearInReview #WSULawsuit #TrueCrimePodcast #MurderMystery Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Could you spot the next Bryan Kohberger before he snaps? Retired FBI Special Agent drops urgent intel in this must-watch combo from Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski.  First up: Prevention radar—decode the "quiet genius" tells like obsessive crime surveys, social blackouts, heroin shadows, and ego flares that screamed danger at WSU, all red flags ignored before the #Idaho4 stabs. Then, the takedown tale: Beyond DNA hits and phone ghosts, uncover how feds chased his white Elantra trails, Amazon premed slips, and predator patterns that crushed third-party alibis and autism outs. This powerhouse unpacks the crushers: Sheath evidence slams, forensic fumbles, and why his criminology smarts backfired into a guilty cage. FBI lens: Train your gut on isolation ticks and violence vibes to stop the stalkers in their tracks. True crime guardians, arm yourself: From hunt highs to hindsight horrors, it's the playbook on outsmarting monsters.

Join Sandra for a breathtaking conversation with Heather Vandermeyden, a woman who didn't just have one Near-Death Experience—she had a series of them. At just twenty years old, Heather faced a catastrophic medical crisis (ulcerative colitis, sepsis, and organ failure) that kept her in the ICU for three months. While her body withered away to 79 pounds and endured thirteen emergency surgeries, her spirit was busy traveling beyond the veil. In this episode, Heather details the more than twenty times she popped out of her body to escape the pain. She shares vivid descriptions of the "Ancient Healing Waters" that saved her liver, a visit to a Hall of Records (the Library), and a heartwarming reunion with her deceased grandmother and great-grandfather. She also describes seeing God stand in the doorway of the hospital room—a being of pure, non-judgmental love with vibrant blue eyes. Perhaps most miraculously, Heather describes meeting two specific children on the other side. Years later, unable to carry a pregnancy due to her surgeries, she fostered and adopted two children who matched the exact description of the souls she met in Heaven.

Unlock the hidden horrors of Bryan Kohberger's post-conviction world in this explosive double-feature from Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review – a look back at the biggest cases of the year. Fresh off his July 2025 guilty plea and four life sentences, dive into the frantic 48-hour plea negotiations that blindsided victims' families, with leaked emails exposing prosecutors' "betrayal" by cutting a no-death-penalty deal without full disclosure. Was it mercy or a rush to closure? Then, hear the chilling whispers from Kohberger's Pennsylvania jail guard—revealing his eerie nighttime pacing, inmate disturbances, and psychological unraveling behind bars that echo his pre-murder red flags at WSU. This Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski: True Crime Today retrospective dissects the plea drama: Defense's last-ditch survivor witness strategy scrapped, families' fury over the email snub, and how it dodged a capital trial spectacle. Shift to solitary confinement insights—guard accounts of Kohberger's isolation-induced "madness," sleep-deprived rants, and the mental toll mirroring FBI profiler warnings of his fractured psyche. These revelations amplify the Goncalves family's November 19, 2025, WSU lawsuit, alleging ignored stalking behaviors that could've prevented the #Idaho4 slaughter. Plus, restitution rifts: The $30K victim fund payout and urn cost battles post-November 5 hearing underscore ongoing justice fights. True crime die-hards, this is unmissable: From secret deal fallout to guard's front-row seat on a killer's breakdown, it's raw intel on accountability gaps in academia and prisons. Expert breakdowns tie it all to premeditated Amazon buys, sheath DNA, and why his calm facade cracked under lockup pressure. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #PleaDealExposed #JailGuardSecrets #TrueCrime #KohbergerLifeSentence #Idaho4 #HiddenKillers2025 #CrimeYearInReview #WSULawsuit #TrueCrimePodcast #MurderMystery Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

BONUS: The Operating System for Software-Native Organizations - The Five Core Principles In this BONUS episode, the final installment of our Special Xmas 2025 reflection on Software-native businesses, we explore the five fundamental principles that form the operating system for software-native organizations. Building on the previous four episodes, this conversation provides the blueprint for building organizations that can adapt at the speed of modern business demands, where the average company lifespan on the S&P 500 has dropped from 33 years in the 1960s to a projected 12 years by 2027. The Challenge of Adaptation "What we're observing in Ukraine is adaptation happening at a speed that would have been unthinkable in traditional military contexts - new drone capabilities emerge, countermeasures appear within days, and those get countered within weeks." The opening draws a powerful parallel between the rapid adaptation we're witnessing in drone warfare and the existential threats facing modern businesses. While our businesses aren't facing literal warfare, they are confronting dramatic disruption. Clayton Christensen documented this in "The Innovator's Dilemma," but what he observed in the 1970s and 80s is happening exponentially faster now, with software as the accelerant. If we can improve businesses' chances of survival even by 10-15%, we're talking about thousands of companies that could thrive instead of fail, millions of jobs preserved, and enormous value created. The central question becomes: how do you build an organization that can adapt at this speed? Principle 1: Constant Experimentation with Tight Feedback Loops "Everything becomes an experiment. Not in the sense of being reckless or uncommitted, but in being clear about what we're testing and what we expect to learn. I call this: work like a scientist: learning is the goal." Software developers have practiced this for decades through Test-Driven Development, but now this TDD mindset is becoming the ruling metaphor for managing products and entire businesses. The practice involves framing every initiative with three clear elements: the goal (what are we trying to achieve?), the action (what specific thing will we do?), and the learning (what will we measure to know if it worked?). When a client says "we need to improve our retrospectives," software-native organizations don't just implement a new format. Instead, they connect it to business value - improving the NPS score for users of a specific feature by running focused retrospectives that explicitly target user pain points and tracking both the improvements implemented and the actual NPS impact. After two weeks, you know whether it worked. The experiment mindset means you're always learning, never stuck. This is TDD applied to organizational change, and it's powerful because every process change connects directly to customer outcomes. Principle 2: Clear Connection to Business Value "Software-native organizations don't measure success by tasks completed, story points delivered, or features shipped. Or even cycle time or throughput. They measure success by business outcomes achieved." While this seems obvious, most organizations still optimize for output, not outcomes. The practice uses Impact Mapping or similar outcome-focused frameworks where every initiative answers three questions: What business behavior are we trying to change? How will we measure that change? What's the minimum software needed to create that change? A financial services client wanted to "modernize their reporting system" - a 12-month initiative with dozens of features in project terms. Reframed through a business value lens, the goal became reducing time analysts spend preparing monthly reports from 80 hours to 20 hours, measured by tracking actual analyst time, starting with automating just the three most time-consuming report components. The first delivery reduced time to 50 hours - not perfect, but 30 hours saved, with clear learning about which parts of reporting actually mattered. The organization wasn't trying to fulfill requirements; they were laser focused on the business value that actually mattered. When you're connected to business value, you can adapt. When you're committed to a feature list, you're stuck. Principle 3: Software as Value Amplifier "Software isn't just 'something we do' or a support function. Software is an amplifier of your business model. If your business model generates $X of value per customer through manual processes, software should help you generate $10X or more." Before investing in software, ask whether this can amplify your business model by 10x or more - not 10% improvement, but 10x. That's the threshold where software's unique properties (zero marginal cost, infinite scale, instant distribution) actually matter, and where the cost/value curve starts to invert. Remember: software is still the slowest and most expensive way to check if a feature would deliver value, so you better have a 10x or more expectation of return. Stripe exemplifies this principle perfectly. Before Stripe, accepting payments online required a merchant account (weeks to set up), integration with payment gateways (months of development), and PCI compliance (expensive and complex). Stripe reduced that to adding seven lines of code - not 10% easier, but 100x easier. This enabled an entire generation of internet businesses that couldn't have existed otherwise: subscription services, marketplaces, on-demand platforms. That's software as amplifier. It didn't optimize the old model; it made new models possible. If your software initiatives are about 5-10% improvements, ask yourself: is software the right medium for this problem, or should you focus where software can create genuine amplification? Principle 4: Software as Strategic Advantage "Software-native organizations use software for strategic advantage and competitive differentiation, not just optimization, automation, or cost reduction. This means treating software development as part of your very strategy, not a way to implement a strategy that is separate from the software." This concept, discussed with Tom Gilb and Simon Holzapfel on the podcast as "continuous strategy," means that instead of creating a strategy every few years and deploying it like a project, strategy and execution are continuously intertwined when it comes to software delivery. The practice involves organizing around competitive capabilities that software uniquely enables by asking: How can software 10x the value we generate right now? What can we do with software that competitors can't easily replicate? Where does software create a defensible advantage? How does our software create compounding value over time? Amazon Web Services didn't start as a product strategy but emerged from Amazon building internal capabilities to run their e-commerce platform at scale. They realized they'd built infrastructure that was extremely hard to replicate and asked: "What if we offered it to others?" AWS became Amazon's most profitable business - not because they optimized their existing retail business, but because they turned an internal capability into a strategic platform. The software wasn't supporting the strategy - the software became the strategy. Compare this to companies that use software just for cost reduction or process optimization - they're playing defense. Software-native companies use software to play offense, creating capabilities that change the competitive landscape. Continuous strategy means your software capabilities and your business strategy evolve together, in real-time, not in annual planning cycles. Principle 5: Real-Time Observability and Adaptive Systems "Software-native organizations use telemetry and real-time analytics not just to understand their software, but to understand their entire business and adapt dynamically. Observability practices from DevOps are actually ways of managing software delivery itself. We're bootstrapping our own operating system for software businesses." This principle connects back to Principle 1 but takes it to the organizational level. The practice involves building systems that constantly sense what's happening and can adapt in real-time: deploy with feature flags so you can turn capabilities on/off instantly, use A/B testing not just for UI tweaks but for business model experiments, instrument everything so you know how users actually behave, and build feedback loops that let the system respond automatically. Social media companies and algorithmic trading firms already operate this way. Instagram doesn't deploy a new feed algorithm and wait six months to see if it works - they're constantly testing variations, measuring engagement in real-time, adapting the algorithm continuously. The system is sensing and responding every second. High-frequency trading firms make thousands of micro-adjustments per day based on market signals. Imagine applying this to all businesses: a retail company that adjusts pricing, inventory, and promotions in real-time based on demand signals; a healthcare system that dynamically reallocates resources based on patient flow patterns; a logistics company whose routing algorithms adapt to traffic, weather, and delivery success rates continuously. This is the future of software-native organizations - not just fast decision-making, but systems that sense and adapt at software speed, with humans setting goals and constraints but software executing continuous optimization. We're moving from "make a decision, deploy it, wait to see results" to "deploy multiple variants, measure continuously, let the system learn." This closes the loop back to Principle 1 - everything is an experiment, but now the experiments run automatically at scale with near real-time signal collection and decision making. It's Experiments All The Way Down "We established that software has become societal infrastructure. That software is different - it's not a construction project with a fixed endpoint; it's a living capability that evolves with the business." This five-episode series has built a complete picture: Episode 1 established that software is societal infrastructure and fundamentally different from traditional construction. Episode 2 diagnosed the problem - project management thinking treats software like building a bridge, creating cascade failures throughout organizations. Episode 3 showed that solutions already exist, with organizations like Spotify, Amazon, and Etsy practicing software-native development successfully. Episode 4 exposed the organizational immune system - the four barriers preventing transformation: the project mindset, funding models, business/IT separation, and risk management theater. Today's episode provides the blueprint - the five principles forming the operating system for software-native organizations. This isn't theory. This is how software-native organizations already operate. The question isn't whether this works - we know it does. The question is: how do you get started? The Next Step In Building A Software-Native Organization "This is how transformation starts - not with grand pronouncements or massive reorganizations, but with conversations and small experiments that compound over time. Software is too important to society to keep managing it wrong." Start this week by doing two things.  First, start a conversation: pick one of these five principles - whichever resonates most with your current challenges - and share it with your team or leadership. Don't present it as "here's what we should do" but as "here's an interesting idea - what would this mean for us?" That conversation will reveal where you are, what's blocking you, and what might be possible.  Second, run one small experiment: take something you're currently doing and frame it as an experiment with a clear goal, action, and learning measure. Make it small, make it fast - one week maximum, 24 hours if you can - then stop and learn. You now have the blueprint. You understand the barriers. You've seen the alternatives. The transformation is possible, and it starts with you.

This episode originally aired on March 12, 2025. Hollywood taught us to be afraid of a super powerful artificial intelligence that will one day conquer humanity. So not surprisingly, many screenwriters and actors are very skeptical of AI, and concerns about AI were central to the Hollywood labor strikes in 2023. But animators may actually be the most at risk of losing their jobs to AI. In this episode, we’ll talk about why the first AI generated movies you will see will likely be animated, and what it means for the people who make them, and for everyone else in Hollywood.
