Podcasts about Ambition

Episode Description:James sits down with astrophysicist Brian Keating for a candid, useful tour through three hot zones: how to think about AI (and where it actually helps), what's broken in higher ed and admissions right now, and why outsourcing your mood to politics is a losing strategy. You'll hear first-hand stories (from UC San Diego classrooms to New York City politics), specific ways James and Brian really use AI daily, and a simple framework for protecting your attention and happiness—even when everything feels polarized.What You'll Learn:A practical AI workflow you can copy today (research prompts, personal “style” bots, and where LLMs fail at original insight). A filter for political noise that keeps 99% of your happiness anchored in health, family, friends, and work you control. What the UCSD admissions/placement findings really mean for preparation and standards (and why “remedial” can mask deeper gaps).A simple admissions/common-sense principle: standards matter; “portfolio” evaluation shouldn't ignore basic skills. How to use AI without losing your own voice—James' test for “write it in my style” and why generic outputs still fall short. Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] Loft event stories, comedy beats, and setting the tone for a heavy topic. [05:00] NYC politics, leadership, and the “why would they vote for him?” question. [07:32] Slogans vs. reality: chants, charters, and what words actually imply. [09:30] Economics that sound nice vs. incentives that ruin cities. [12:00] “Don't outsource your happiness to politicians.” A sanity reset. [20:48] Inside UCSD's placement data: how did calculus passers miss first-grade algebra? [30:02] Standards, SATs, and what “remedial” hides (plus grade inflation). [77:49] How James and Brian actually use AI; “mad-bot disease” and why voice still matters.Additional ResourcesBrian Keating's "Monday M.A.G.I.C."

In this episode, we dive into the viral controversy around TikToker and DoorDash driver Olivia Henderson. After arriving at a customer's house for a routine delivery, she says she found him passed out—naked—on his couch. She filmed the moment, posted it to TikTok, and claimed she was sexually harassed. But police say her story doesn't hold up, and she's now facing felony charges for unlawful surveillance and distributing a private image.This Week's Featured Hashtag#RandomFoodtoBringtoThanksgiving2025Send a text to The Ebone Zone!

Episode 255 How a Man Finds HomeSensers! Do you remember being a kid and they asked us “so what do you want to be when you grow up?”? We all had our dreams, maybe even focused goals even from that young age, but were those job goals more of a fantasy such as entertainment or more following in footsteps of someone you looked up to like a parent or someone close to you?Throughout our lives we've obtained a plethora of skills to aid us through the day to day challenges we encounter. Of those skills, which would you say is the most useful skill that you have? What's something that really helped you in common engagements with your peers throughout life? “Home is where the heart is…” so the cliche statement says. I believe home can be many things to a person. There are places that feel like home and there are people who feel like home. I've been grateful enough to have both at different stages throughout my life.

Depuis l'Accord de Paris en 2015 visant à limiter l'augmentation des températures du globe en dessous de 2°C, le climat s'est réchauffé plus vite qu'attendu. 2024 a été l'année la plus chaude jamais enregistrée. Les plus gros émetteurs que sont les États-Unis, la Chine et l'Inde n'ont pas réellement tenu leurs engagements. Donald Trump a même boudé la rencontre de Belém, tandis que les Européens se présentent toujours comme le pilier de l'ambition climatique mondiale.  Du réchauffement climatique nous sommes passés à l'ébullition climatique, selon la mise en garde du secrétaire général de l'ONU, Antonio Gutierrez. Et la vie sur terre est questionnée. Aléas et phénomènes extrêmes -sécheresses, inondations, tempêtes et autres ouragans- deviennent de plus en plus fréquents, menaçant de submersion des zones côtières, voire des pays entiers, par la montée des mers rendue inéluctable du fait du réchauffement des océans. Les mutations climatiques rebattent les cartes du pouvoir mondial. Les pays du Sud accusent les pays du Nord d'hypocrisie ; les grandes puissances fossiles défendent leurs intérêts et dans le même temps, certains acteurs émergent comme moteurs de la transition. Bilan de la COP30.  Invité :  François Gemmene, professeur à HEC. Président du Conseil Scientifique de la Fondation de la Nature et l'Homme. Auteur principal du 6è rapport du GIEC.

Jesus Followers Seek First God's Will, and then They “Die” to their Self-Ambitions and Self-Appetites and Take Up Their Cross MESSAGE SUMMARY: In a time in which we hear so much about self-help, self-image, and self-actualization, Jesus is saying self-denial is the way to life for Jesus Followers. Jesus tells us, in Matthew 16:24, that self-denial is a key element in following Him: “Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.'". “Taking up one's cross” means to die to self-ambitions and self-appetites. When we die to our self-ambitious and self-appetites, we put them on the cross; and  Jesus' life moves through us: “Not my will but Thy will.”. By denying self, we become alive in Jesus; and His Spirit flows through us – we experience eternal life and abundant life.     TODAY'S PRAYER: Most merciful God I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone.  I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent.  For the sake of your son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I might delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of Your Name. Amen.  TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Inadequacy. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Abundance. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

Somewhere along the way, ambition became associated with things that don't resonate with creative entrepreneurs, hustle culture, sacrificing everything for growth, becoming someone you're not. So when people talk about scaling or being ambitious, many of us instinctively recoil. Not because we don't want success, but because we don't want the version of success being sold to us. In this episode, through real-life examples, we explore what ambition actually looks like for creative businesses: having a sense of purpose, doing work you're proud of, and being fairly rewarded for it. You don't have to choose between them. You can have all three.   Key Moments: [00:00] Why last week's episode on financial independence sparked this conversation about ambition [03:24] Redefining what ambition actually means for creative entrepreneurs and why it's not what you think [04:05] The three elements that make up real ambition: purpose, pride, and fair reward [06:50] What aligned scaling looks like - hint: it's amplification, not multiplication [07:48] Kate's transformation: changing one question that shifted everything for her team [10:28]The interior designer who stopped doing free consultations and created Space Planning Intensives instead [13:48] Why traditional scaling advice feels wrong and the unshakeable foundation that makes ambitious growth possible [17:39] My own journey choosing to scale on my terms and why that was more ambitious, not less [19:43] Three clarity questions that change everything about how you approach growth   Notable Quotes: "Let's fully embrace and celebrate ambition. For most creatives, ambition is having a sense of purpose, doing good work you're proud of, and being fairly rewarded for it." "Ambition isn't the problem. Following someone else's definition of ambition is the problem."   Resources Mentioned: Read: This Week's Full Journal Post Listen Episode 116:  "Why I Do What I Do" Link: The Base Notes Waitlist Subscribe to our Weekly newsletter Website: www.philippacraddock.com Email: news@philippacraddock.com    Share Your Insights: What does ambition look like for you?

Kelsi chats with professor, pastor, and author Ryan Tinetti about his new book, The Quiet Ambition: Scripture's Surprising Antidote to Our Restless Lives. Based on 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12, The Quiet Ambition argues the life of the Christian often has much less to do with changing the world than it does faithfully trusting our work matters because we matter to God. Ryan P. Tinetti is a pastor who now serves as a professor of practical theology at Concordia Seminary (Saint Louis). He is the author of Preaching by Heart and writes the regular column "The Preacher's Toolbox" on 1517.org. Prior to his call to Concordia Seminary, Ryan served for fourteen years in parish ministry. Ryan lives with his wife, Anne, and their four children in St. Louis on the campus of the seminary.Show Notes:⁠⁠⁠Support 1517 Podcast Network⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠1517 Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠1517 on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠1517 Events Schedule⁠⁠⁠1517 Academy - Free Theological Education⁠⁠⁠What's New from 1517:Untamed Prayers: 365 Daily Devotions on Christ in the Book of Psalms by Chad Bird⁠⁠⁠⁠Coming Home for Christmas: 1517 Advent Devotional⁠More from Kelsi:⁠⁠⁠Kelsi Klembara⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Kelsi on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Kelsi on Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kelsi's Newsletter⁠More from Ryan:Order The Quiet AmbitionRead Ryan's Substack

An article in the Boston Globe asks a big question: Why are so many young, ambitious women suddenly convinced a woman's natural place is in the home? Liz brings the highlights, and the gang unpacks the tension between ambition and contentment with plenty of laughs.But first! Rick shares a text exchange with a woman from the Boston comedy scene who was outraged—outraged—that he didn't book a single woman on his last show. What a misogynistic monster, right? Rick gives his side of the story (including the fact that he invited five women) so you can decide whether he's the villain… or just caught in someone else's outrage spiral.Also, it's Christmas time, which means one thing: you can put up your tree before Thanksgiving without society judging you. Evan's ready, Liz has opinions, and Rick's already tangled in lights.All that and more on this week's Small Town Scuttlebutt.

What happens when strategy meets automation? You get unstoppable growth. Dr. Maddy Roth and Nicole Eldridge dive into the tools, tactics, and mindset shifts that help entrepreneurs scale with ease. Whether you're a new founder or a seasoned visionary, this episode is packed with clarity, confidence, and actionable insights.

"On becoming more particularly acquainted with Nettleton, I perceived that he was one who feared God. Ever kind, courteous, conscientious and exemplary, unassuming and unostentatious; his words and actions bore the most powerful testimony in my conscience, to the genuineness of his religious principles. He evidently had a taste for the spiritual themes and exercises pertaining to religion, so predominant and controlling, as to leave small space for merely literary ambition.

At 20 years old, Filimon is learning the real cost of ambition—the long hours, the isolation, and the changes that naturally happen in relationships when you're focused on growing. In this solo episode, he opens up about losing friends, feeling distant from close ones, and facing doubt during the slow, quiet seasons of self-improvement. This is the side of ambition most people never mention: outgrowing circles, sacrificing time, and carrying the weight of wanting more even when it feels isolating. Filimon reflects on the moments that shape you, the people you leave behind, and the internal battles that happen long before success shows up.SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/@thebriefdivepodcast/videos?sub_confirmation=1LISTEN ON:SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2cPd9uVZqjmEmM9VF0zuGg?si=ef2246bd89c34b4APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-brief-dive/id1551664039FOLLOW ON:INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thebriefdive?igsh=cm5iaWEyazRvMnpySNAPCHAT: https://snapchat.com/t/zzap27fGTIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebriefdive?_t=8qIJLtOvM0l&_r=1INTRO MUSIC: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/valmaddoxaero?igsh=MWJraWRoYmE4aXN6Mg==TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@val_maddox_music?_t=ZT-8yRqOSfTGFj&_r=1DISCLAIMER: "The Brief Dive" Podcast represents the opinions of Filimon and his guests who are also not licensed professionals.

When it comes to money, most of us were taught to work hard, focus on saving, and not take any financial risks. In this episode of Ambition 2.0, Rachel Rodgers (self-made millionaire, founder of Hello Seven, and author of We Should All Be Millionaires and Future Millionaire) is here to replace that belief with something way more powerful.

Dragon Spacecraft Development and Reusability Focus. Eric Berger explains that SpaceX needed NASA contracts to fund its Mars ambition. NASA provided critical funding in 2006 and 2009 for the Dragon spacecraft to deliver cargo to the International Space Station, replacing retiring vehicles like the Space Shuttle. Dragon was designed for recoverability and reuse, incorporating propulsion into the capsule itself, which increased complexity. Under pressure from Musk's impatience, SpaceX combined two critical test missions, C2 and C3, in 2012, ultimately succeeding due to a brave decision by a NASA flight director to allow on-the-spot software changes. Guest: Eric Berger.

In this special episode of Cloud Wars Live, Bob Evans speaks with Chad Wahlquist, Architect at Palantir, about the company's explosive Q3 growth and the accelerating adoption of its AI Platform (AIP). They explore how AIP serves as an operating system for the enterprise, enabling customers to achieve global optimization, faster ROI, and model flexibility. Wahlquist also talks about Palantir's open, interoperable architecture and its commitment to delivering value at speed, especially for customers in high-stakes, high-pressure environments.Operate Smarter, Not SlowerThe Big Themes:Speed to Value: Many companies still operate under the assumption that meaningful transformation requires multi‑year timelines (two to three years, sometimes more). Palantir is pushing the idea that you must deliver value in months, three to six months, rather than years. This shift is critical because when business markets move fast, and when competitive advantage erodes quickly, speed becomes a differentiator. If you wait for years, you may miss the window or be out‑paced.Interoperability and Ecosystem Integration: The platform isn't trying to lock you into a “box” you must keep your data in; it instead emphasizes plug‑in interoperability with systems you already have. Wahlquist mentions connectors, SDKs, APIs, and plug‑ins to partners like Snowflake, Databricks, SAP, NVIDIA. The concept: if you already have investment in some systems, don't throw them away; just connect them. This increases the speed to value and reduces friction.Ambition, Willingness to Operate in Crisis: Wahlquist points out they often engage with customers who are under pressure. These customers need value now, not two or three years out. Situations like supply chain disruption, plant outages, labor issues, etc., are real. This situational urgency forces companies to adopt architectures and partners that can deliver now. The takeaway: It's not enough to believe you'll transform in the future; transformation architecture must be built for today's fires.The Big Quote: “Our goal is really: how do we scale our customers and the outcomes they're delivering — not just the number of customers?"More from Chad and Palantir:Follow Chad on LinkedIn or get an overview of Palantir's Q3 in its letter to shareholders.

Text us your questions!Is the drive to be better than others making us worse? We talk with theologian Miroslav Volf about his book The Cost of Ambition and explore why comparison-based striving saturates our schools, churches, workplaces, and politics. Volf separates healthy aspiration from superiority-seeking and makes a compelling case for excellence without domination, rooted in agape, i.e., unconditional love that affirms people beyond performance.We dig into the Christ hymn of Philippians 2 and why self-emptying is not weakness but a different kind of strength. Volf shows how resurrection and ascension empower humility rather than feed triumphalism and why honoring everyone is both a spiritual discipline and a democratic necessity. From the academy's “one-up” culture to the marketplace's imitation traps, he argues that obsessing over competitors blinds us to our unique gifts and corrodes joy. Even stalwart capitalists like Warren Buffett warn against competitor-fixation. Volf adds a deeper moral and theological critique as well, drawing on Paul's piercing question: What do you have that you did not receive?We also test his claims against Nietzsche's will to power, happiness research on social comparison, and the rise of Christian nationalism. Is Christ a moral stranger to our priorities? Volf challenges both sides of the aisle to recover mere humanity—Kierkegaard's vision of belovedness before achievement—and to practice agape toward others and ourselves. The result is a bracing, hopeful vision: strive for truth, craft, and contribution, not for status; pursue excellence as stewardship, not self-exaltation.If you're weary of the status treadmill yet still hungry to do meaningful work, this conversation will give you categories, language, and practices to recalibrate your aims.

In this week's episode, I'm chatting with Alejandra Rojas, entrepreneur, Forbes contributor, and founder of Brown Way to Money, a financial mentoring platform that helps women overcome financial trauma and improve their relationship with money. Alejandra's story is such a powerful reminder that financial freedom isn't just about numbers, it's about emotional healing, self-awareness, and redefining success on your own terms. Originally from Colombia, Alejandra left home at 19 on a scholarship and went on to live and study in Spain, the U.S., and New Zealand. She shares how her journey from financial burnout in Washington D.C. to finding balance in New Zealand completely changed how she views money, success, and happiness. We talk about what it means to truly know yourself with money, and how understanding your emotional patterns can help you build wealth that feels aligned and sustainable. Alejandra also breaks down her B.R.O.W.N. Framework, a tool she uses to help women heal from financial trauma and create lasting change. In This Episode I Discuss: How Alejandra's global journey and scholarships shaped her view of money and opportunity The moment she realized her financial burnout was connected to deeper emotional patterns What she learned about consumer culture and self-worth while living in the U.S. How life in New Zealand helped her slow down, reconnect, and build a new definition of success Watch the video to this episode on YouTube below or click here.
