Podcasts about analogies

Try to go through a day without using an analogy. I guarantee you'll fail within an hour. Your morning coffee tastes like yesterday's batch. Traffic is moving like molasses. Your boss sounds like a broken record. Every comparison you make—every single one—is your brain's way of understanding the world. You can't turn it off.   […]

What if the key to solving the mysteries of modern physics lies not in new mathematics, but in a physical interpretation of the mathematics we already have?This week, we begin a deep, two-part conversation with Dr. Chantal Roth about the Elastic Aether Theory—one of the first serious contenders we've found for a material interpretation of fundamental physics. Dr. Roth's quest for a deeper understanding of the universe begins by taking the mathematics of General Relativity, applying a set of material science axioms, and deriving what the mathematics of light and gravity tell us about the physical properties of the universe. Check out part 2, where we dive into the ether-based mechanisms for mass, light, charge, electricity, and gravity.

Unlock the “secret sauce” of consistent closes: tie-downs (aka micro-agreements). In this episode, we unpack how small, intentional yeses throughout your presentation create momentum, uncover misunderstandings early, and lead to a natural close—not a hard close. What you'll learn Why micro-agreements work: The psychology of agreement and Brian Tracy's law of incremental commitment. Where to use them: Rapport/CORE, stakes & urgency, education/presentation, budget framing, and the close. How to deliver them: Tone, timing, the power of the pause, and why consistency beats complexity. Real examples you can steal today: “That makes sense so far, right?” “You'd want this in place for your family, wouldn't you?” “Affordability is a priority for you, isn't it?” “If we find a plan that fits your budget and protects [NAMEs], you'd at least want to apply, right?” Analogies you'll remember Thermometer: keep “checking the temperature” so nothing goes cold. Tent tie-downs / trailer straps: secure each section so the whole sale doesn't blow away. Trail guide: move the fast, middle, and new learners together—everyone arrives at the summit. Try this challenge Add one simple tie-down to every section of your script this week and track them. Watch your confidence (and closes) climb. If this helped, subscribe, drop a comment with your favorite tie-down, and share with a teammate who needs more natural closes. #lifeinsurance #sales #telesales #closing #objectionhandling #LifeInsuranceAcademy

Nancy Steidl is an international business consultant and intellectual property (IP) specialist, Canadian-born and UK-based for 25 years. She runs The Business Mission and blends practical business structuring with deep IP expertise. She emphasizes education (two completed master's degrees—Business Law and an MBA—and a third in International IP Law) and has a forthcoming book titled The Art of Analogies in Business: How to Start a Business Using Layman's Terms (pre-order via her site), designed to make business concepts simple through analogies.For new entrepreneurs (e.g., a real estate agent in New York), Nancy's core playbook starts with a real business plan—turning ideas into a validated model with actual revenue. She urges early attention to IP—trademarks, patents, copyright, and trade secrets—because brand and know-how are central assets. Employment law and freelancer agreements matter, too; you must define wages/benefits compliantly and ensure contracts assign IP to the company.On AI and IP, Nancy notes the legal landscape is fast-moving and jurisdiction-specific. Patentability standards differ country-to-country, so founders should conduct prior-art searches and plan filings per jurisdiction (US, UK, Canada, etc.). Copyright is automatically granted upon original creation, but AI-generated content raises authenticity and ownership questions—and current doctrines don't allow robots to own IP. Trademarks remain human/company-owned, while trade secrets require strong confidentiality controls. Founders must also meet data-protection obligations like GDPR and CCPA .Trademarks take time: UK filings can complete in ~6 months, India can take ~3 years, and the US is heavily backlogged . You can usually use “TM” while an application is pending to build history—but there's risk if opposition arises. Because IP can dwarf all other assets, some larger companies park it in a separate holding entity (e.g., Nike/IKEA-style arrangements), depending on circumstances. Nancy shares cautionary tales—small firms forced to rebrand after conflicts with powerful rightsholders—underscoring why early trademark searches and filings are crucial.Philosophically, Nancy reframes “failures” as redirections. Her guidance: over-protect rather than under-protect contracts; ensure all employee/contractor IP is assigned to the company; and remember that brand (your name, marks, and story) is your moat. Couple a thoughtful plan with strong IP hygiene, respect for data/privacy rules, and cultural intelligence, and you dramatically improve a business's odds—from launch, through growth, to a valuable exit.Takeaways• A business needs to prove its model before it's classified as a business.• You must start with a business plan.• Intellectual property is a very big asset.• Understanding the logistics of any country is crucial for business.• Cultural aspects are important when starting a business in a new country.• You need to secure your IP rights to protect your business.• Business planning should include an exit strategy from the start.• AI innovations present new challenges for intellectual property laws.• Contracts should clearly define IP ownership to avoid disputes.• There are no failures, only redirections in business.Sound Bites• You must start with a business plan.• You need to give that time to grow.• You have to secure your IP rights.Listen & Subscribe for More:

Specs, millimeters, torque, hydraulic pressure… customers check out FAST when advisors go “full tech mode.” That's where analogies change the game. In this episode of Dealer Talk with Jen Suzuki, I share one of my favorite techniques that helps customers understand repairs without feeling overwhelmed: turning technical jargon into relatable stories. I'll cover: Why customers decline work when they don't understand the language How to use simple, everyday analogies (like crayons, sneakers, or coffee filters) The power of humor and storytelling to reduce tension and win trust How to practice analogies as a team for fun, memorable customer experiences A weekly challenge: turn two MPI jobs into analogies and test them with your team When you swap tech talk for real talk, customers nod, laugh, and approve more often. Analogies make the complex simple — and that's where credibility (and sales) live. Dealer Talk with Jen Suzuki Podcast |

The question of Israel's chosenness isn't abstract - it's foundational.  If God's covenant with Abraham is conditional, then Israel's future and even our own assurance in Christ are uncertain. But if it's unconditional, then God's faithfulness to Abraham secures hope for us all. In this episode, Ron and Matt Davis trace the Abrahamic covenant from Genesis 12, 15, and 17. They unpack the ancient covenant-cutting ceremony, the unconditional nature of God's promise, and how the Mosaic covenant fits alongside it.  They also show how the New Testament reaffirms - not erases - God's oath to Abraham, and why that matters for both Jews and Gentiles today. With analogies of trust funds and house rules, they bring clarity to common misunderstandings. God's covenant stands not because of human performance but because of His promise. And that means His faithfulness to Israel is the same faithfulness we depend on in Jesus. Key Takeaways God initiated and ratified the Abrahamic covenant alone - it's unconditional. Genesis 12–17 reveals a promise of people, place, and purpose. The land boundaries are literal, not symbolic. Circumcision is the covenant sign, not its source. The Mosaic covenant governs life in the land but does not annul Abraham's promise. The New Testament celebrates - not cancels - the Abrahamic covenant. God's gifts and calling are irrevocable (Romans 11:29). Chapter Markers 00:00 – Welcome and framing the question 05:10 – Genesis 12: God's call to Abram 13:20 – Genesis 15: Cutting the covenant 28:15 – Genesis 17: Everlasting covenant and circumcision 41:00 – Mosaic covenant vs. Abrahamic covenant 55:30 – Genesis 22: Binding of Isaac and covenant confirmed 1:05:10 – New Testament voices: Galatians, Romans, Hebrews 1:18:00 – Analogies: trust funds, house rules, and irrevocable promises 1:28:00 – Final reflections and what's next God's covenant with Abraham is unconditional, everlasting, and still active. It anchors Israel's destiny and secures the hope of all who trust in the Messiah.

In today's episode, we review the symbols and teaching/writing styles John uses in Revelation.

We reach for the Cold War as if it were a really good pocket tool: compact, familiar, ready to deal with any problem in today's world. U.S.–China rivalry? “Cold War 2.0.” Russia and the West? “Cold War redux.” The appeal is obvious: the Cold War offers a story we already know how to tell—great-power tension, nuclear standoff, ideological blocs, and finally, a tidy ending.But as Francis J. Gavin argues, analogies always smuggle in assumptions. To label something a “new Cold War” is to commit to a whole strategic script: decades of rivalry, fixed blocs, and an expectation of how the story ends. But what if the conditions that defined the 20th-century Cold War—its nuclear stability, its institutions, even its duration—don't apply now? And what if these words “Cold War”that you use do not mean what I mean by the words “Cold War”?Francis J. Gavin is the Giovanni Agnelli Distinguished Professor and Director of the Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS).

Patients relapse. It happens.But here's the kicker: when it does, most chiropractors lose them.Why? Because patients think pain returning means chiropractic didn't work. They forget their progress. They default to meds. They look for another “cure.”In this episode, Martin breaks down the psychology behind relapses and shows you how to handle them and keep people engaged with chiropractic:Recency bias – why people judge you on how they feel today, not the months of progress behind them.Availability heuristic – why “pills and doctors” feel safer when they're in pain.Cognitive dissonance – why it's easier for patients to switch to medical care when they have a relapse.And most importantly… what to do about it.You'll learn:How to pre-frame flare-ups so patients aren't blindsided.The yes, and approach to validate frustration while reframing a relapse.Analogies (like the “healing scab”) that make setbacks feel like part of the healing process—not a failure.Why certainty beats uncertainty—and how a specific plan keeps patients from drifting away.Relapses aren't the end of the story.

In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, hosts Nate Thurston and Charles Chuck Thompson discuss various topics, starting with a technical issue they're facing with their camera setup and a lighthearted conversation about Chuck's past nickname. They transition into discussing Nate's potential solo hosting responsibilities next week and their current cluttered studio space. The main discussion revolves around a new executive order from President Donald Trump concerning flag desecration. They dive deep into Trump's stance on punishing countries that tax American tech companies, with a specific focus on the Daily Wire's report about Trump's threats of tariffs. They debate the implications of this executive order and the historical context provided by Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's viewpoint on flag desecration. The episode concludes with their thoughts on identity, idolatry, and the appropriate response to flag desecration.

Episode Info In this episode, I explore the paradox that is insurance. We buy risk from others, yet we are risk averse ourselves. Looking at the work of underwriters as compared to venture investors, you find that the skillset is actually nearly identical, but it's being deployed in opposite directions. I discuss that, why that might be, and what someone trying to bring innovation and change to insurance should keep in mind given this reality. Episode Highlights This episode is a unique and shorter installment with insights and reflections rather than our normal interview format. The focus is on exploring the concept of risk aversion within the insurance industry and comparing it to the venture capital world. Key Topics Discussed: Risk Aversion in Insurance:I see a paradox of risk aversion in an industry that essentially deals with buying and managing risk. Despite being in the business of risk, the insurance industry tends to be conservative and slow to change. Comparison with Venture Capital:A comparison is drawn between underwriters and venture capitalists, highlighting how both evaluate businesses but from different perspectives. While venture capitalists have a capped downside and potentially unlimited upside, underwriters face a capped upside and potentially unlimited downside. Analogies and Insights:I compare this to the Netflix show "Stranger Things" to describe the contrasting worlds of insurance and venture capital, likening them to the "Upside Down" and the real world. Economic Perspectives:Discussion on the economic frameworks within which underwriters and venture capitalists operate, emphasizing the differences in risk and reward dynamics. Personal Reflections:The episode includes personal anecdotes and reflections on the nature of risk, decision-making, and the psychological aspects of dealing with uncertainty. Conclusion: The episode concludes with a call to embrace conversations about risk and change, encouraging listeners to prepare for and adapt to new challenges in their professional environments.

Cybersecurity risks have become more complex and unpredictable than ever, yet many companies struggle to quantify these threats in terms that truly matter. How can CFOs and CISOs effectively communicate about risk, make smart security investments, and navigate the emerging challenges posed by AI? In this episode, CJ interviews Andy Ellis, a renowned cybersecurity leader, former CISO of Akamai, investor, director, advisor, leadership coach, and author of the book 1% Leadership. Andy unpacks why most companies measure risk the wrong way and breaks down his "Pyramid of Pain” framework for categorizing it. He discusses the dynamics between CFOs and CISOs in purchasing security tools, demystifies security budgeting and vendor negotiations, dives into the evolving role of AI in security operations, and explains why the CISO and CIO roles are on a collision course. Andy also reveals insider stories from the frontlines of major breaches, shares a compelling risk analogy inspired by vampires and zombies, and clears up once and for all why the demise of the Death Star was not a failure of risk management.—LINKS:Andy Ellis on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/csoandyAndy Ellis on X: (@CSOAndy) https://x.com/csoandyWebsite: https://www.csoandy.com1% Leadership: https://www.amazon.com/1-Leadership-Master-Improvements-Leaders/dp/0306830817How to CISO: https://www.howtociso.comDuha One: CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: —TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) Preview and Intro(02:49) Sponsor – Rillet | Pulley | Brex(07:23) Defining Risk: Technical & Human-Friendly Perspectives(09:20) Actuarial Risk Versus Human-Driven Risk(15:33) Why the Demise of the Death Star Wasn't a Failure of Risk Management(16:58) Sponsor – Aleph | RightRev | Navan(21:22) How the Death Star Metaphor Relates to Real-World Security Breaches(23:20) Why Risk Should Not Be Quantified in Dollar Terms(25:15) The Pyramid of Pain: Risk Severity and Surprise Levels(30:21) How CFOs and CISOs Should Partner on Security Purchases(34:03) Are Security Budgets Over or Under-Spent?(36:22) Balancing Budget for Security Tools and People(39:48) Tips for FP&As on Brokering the Security Budget With Your CISO(44:10) Factoring AI Uncertainty in a Three-Year Security Roadmap(46:38) AI Washing in Security Products and Realistic Impact(48:55) The Limitations of Security Operations(50:53) The Future of CIO and CISO Roles and Organizational Reporting(54:55) Why IT Shouldn't Report to the CFO(57:18) Israeli Unit 8200 and Cybersecurity Innovation(59:50) Startups Versus Public Companies: Differing Risk Models(1:02:52) Wrap—SPONSORS:Rillet is the AI-native ERP modern finance teams are switching to because it's faster, simpler, and 100% built for how teams operate today.

We start the show on a somber note, sending our heartfelt condolences to the Hoard family after the loss of their beloved dog, Oreo. From there, it's all things sports and chaos as the gang breaks down the Dolphins' preseason win over the Lions—what looked promising, what didn't. Leroy shares what it's like to take a hit trying to hold onto the ball (hint: broken ribs!), while Tobin starts a QB debate that somehow turns into a heated argument over washing machines and virtual measurements vs. old-school chains. In Hour 3, Tobin gets exactly what he wants when he plays a Paul Finebaum clip to rile up Leroy over Michigan's punishment in their cheating scandal. We also dive into what the Dolphins should show in their upcoming game against the Jaguars, and discuss the Heat's surprising signing of Dru Smith, fresh off an Achilles injury. Plus, Leroy throws mysterious shade at Canes fans, and Tobin gets mocked (at least in his mind) over a Marlins ‘97 World Series shirt. We wrap the show with wrestling regrets, wild Marlins plays, Heat lineup speculation, and more Dolphins chatter—including Matthew Judon visiting camp and Tobin calling for Tua to torch Xavien Howard in Week 1. And of course, we end things with a round of Alright! Oh No! as Tobin gives flowers to the “Swedish Swish,” Leroy praises the Dolphins, and the Swifties of the show speculate a big Taylor Swift announcement.

The Study Skills Handbook: How to Ace Tests, Get Straight A's, and Succeed in School (Learning how to Learn Book 17) By: Peter HollinsHear it Here - https://bit.ly/StudySkillsHollinshttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B099QWGNNGThis video delves into effective studying techniques drawn from "The Study Skills Handbook: How to Ace Tests, Get Straight As, and Succeed in School" by Peter Hollins. Learn how to make your study sessions fun, easy, and successful. We'll discuss Chapter 2 topics including subject mastery, teaching others, and The Learning Pyramid. Discover the power of The Protégé Effect in enhancing your learning experience. Join us as we unravel these valuable strategies to help you reach your academic goals."Studying Techniques: Unlocking Your Full Potential - Study Skills Handbook"**Tags/Keywords:**- Study Skills Handbook- Peter Hollins- Studying Techniques- Subject Mastery- Teaching Others- Learning Pyramid- Protégé Effect**Learning Through Teaching:**- Deepens our understanding and retention- Discovers richer appreciation for concepts- Effective strategy to improve recall and comprehension**The Protégé Effect:**- Students who teach others perform better- Incremental learning, responsibility, egoprotection**Analogies in Teaching:**- Powerful tools for conveying new concepts- Use various analogies for different topics- Clarify purpose and reserve them for complex ideasJoin us as we delve into the fascinating world of learning through teaching. Discover how this approach deepens our understanding, enhances recall, and leads to better comprehension. We'll explore the protégé effect, a phenomenon where students who teach others thrive in their academic journey. Lastly, we'll unpack the power of analogies in teaching – an essential tool for effectively conveying new concepts. Stay tuned as we dive into these topics and more! • By learning to teach others, we deepen our own understanding and retention, since we uncover a richer and more fundamental appreciation of the concepts behind the material. Compared to other strategies, teaching others may have the highest chance of improving recall and comprehension. • The protégé effect is the observation that students who teach others do better, perhaps because they learn incrementally, take responsibility for the learning process, and are “ego-protected” from the prospect of failure. • Analogies, examples, and metaphors are powerful tools to convey new concepts. To use them effectively in teaching/learning, make use of as many different analogies as possible and mix them in frequently, using examples to illustrate. Only use those analogies that actually work (i.e. don't forget their purpose) and reserve them more complex topics, since they may only confuse simpler ideas. **Key Takeaways:**- Teaching others deepens your own understanding and retention of concepts- The protégé effect: students who teach others perform better- Use analogies, examples, and metaphors to convey new concepts effectively - Use multiple analogies for complex topics - Avoid confusing simpler ideas with overly complex analogies**Additional Notes:**- Teaching others enhances learning experience- Protégé effect: students take responsibility and are protected from failure- Analogies provide effective illustrations, but use them wisely.

Real connection means understanding your audience, staying true to yourself, and creating space for others.How do you communicate who you are, what you stand for, and leave space for others to do the same? At the Stanford Seed Summit in Cape Town, South Africa, three GSB professors explored why real connection is built through authentic communication.For Jesper Sørensen, authentic organizational communication means talking about a business in ways customers or investors can understand, like using analogies to relate a new business model to one that people already know. For incoming GSB Dean Sarah Soule, authentic communication is about truth, not trends. Her research on "corporate confession" shows that companies build trust when they admit their shortcomings — but only if those admissions connect authentically to their core business. And for Christian Wheeler, authentic communication means suspending judgment of ourselves and others. “We have a tendency to rush to categorization, to assume that we understand things before we really do,” he says. “Get used to postponing judgment.”In this special live episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, host Matt Abrahams and his panel of guests explore communication challenges for budding entrepreneurs. From the risks of comparing yourself to competitors to how your phone might undermine genuine connection, they reveal how authentic communication — whether organizational or personal — requires understanding your audience, staying true to your values, and creating space for others to be heard.Episode Reference Links:Jesper SørensenChristian WheelerSarah SouleEp.194 Live Lessons in Levity and Leadership: Me2We 2025 Part 1 Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:04) - Jesper Sørensen on Strategic Analogies (04:06) - Sarah Soule on Corporate Confessions (08:46) - Christian Wheeler on Spontaneity & Presence (12:06) - Panel Discussion: AI's Role in Research, Teaching, & Life (17:52) - Professors Share Current Projects (22:55) - Live Audience Q&A (32:53) - Conclusion *****This Episode is sponsored by Stanford.

Q: Over the past few episodes or so, I believe I heard that “the Trinity” is not found in the Bible.  This inspired some study, and now I'm wondering why we call God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit the Trinity at all?  It seems that, before the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, early Christians had differing ways of describing them, usually referring to them as separate, but not necessarily as a 3-in-1.  As a child, I tried to think of the Trinity like an apple with the outer part, inner part, and the seeds being separate but one, and that being like God.  But that was still incredibly confusing.  Is that confusion necessary, if it's not actually described that way in the Bible?  What if we went back to the early Christian way of understanding, that the relationship between them is not fully defined?  More mysterious, but maybe more precise that way?  Thanks for your thoughts! Summary: Dr. E addresses a listener's question regarding the Trinity. Dr. E affirms that while the term “Trinity” doesn't appear in Scripture, the truth of the Trinity is clearly taught throughout. He explains that God exists as three united persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—without separate existence, forming one divine essence. Using passages like Matthew 3:16–17, 1 Corinthians 12:4–7, and others, Dr. Easley shows how Scripture reveals each person of the Godhead functioning distinctly yet in perfect unity. He cautions against modalism and stresses the importance of clarity over mystery. The early church wrestled with how to define the Trinity, but Scripture drives us toward this essential doctrine for understanding salvation: the Father sends the Son, the Son accomplishes redemption, and the Spirit indwells believers. While mysterious, the Trinity is vital—foundational to Christianity and unmistakably present in the biblical narrative. In short, we don't believe in three gods—we believe in one God, three persons, co-equal and co-eternal. Takeaways: The word “Trinity” isn't in Scripture, but the doctrine is clearly taught. God exists as three distinct persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—in one divine essence. Analogies like water or apples oversimplify and often misrepresent the Trinity. Scripture presents the Father sending the Son, the Son sending the Spirit, and the Spirit indwelling believers. The Trinity is essential for understanding salvation and God's relational nature. We worship one God in three persons—not three gods, and not one God acting in different modes. Links Mentioned: The Moody Handbook of Theology by Paul Enns Find more episodes of Ask Dr. E here.

In this episode of Stranger Fruit, we explore the word that so many of us chase: “Finally.” Whether it's the long-awaited match, graduation, or the completion of a major milestone, “finally” often marks an emotional finish line.

Dr. Steven Johnson, PGY-1 neurology resident at Howard University, joins us to unpack what it means to enjoy the fruits of our labor without immediately chasing the next thing. Together, we explore the hedonic treadmill, the trap of endless striving, and the art of sitting still in satisfaction.

A conversation exploring the Jewish view of death, grief, and the afterlife. Drawing from her personal losses and decades of spiritual exploration, Elissa shares her journey, reflections from her work preparing bodies for Jewish burial, and powerful insights on mourning rituals and what they can teach us about what it means to truly live. Elissa Felder is the Coordinator for Core's Communities of Practice. Elissa started and actively manages Core's community of practice for women engaged with traditional chevrah kadisha. She is responsible for providing on-going professional development for the community. The knowledge she acquired through her work motivated her to write her book, From One Life to the Next Life: The Sacred Passage of Life After Death. Additionally, she is very active in her local chevrah kadisha and speaks widely on this topic. Elissa is the Founding Director of Core Connects RI, a non-profit organization that aims to deepen women's connections to one another, to Jewish wisdom, and to Jewish values, as well as to empower each other to find greater meaning, purpose, and possibility in life and to cultivate unity without uniformity. As director she is passionate about providing others with opportunities to grow and become. She runs programming both online and in person. Elissa is passionate about bringing Jews together and celebrating their commonalities rather than their differences. Through all of these experiences, Elissa mentors and encourages others on their journeys.You can purchase Elissa's book here: https://mosaicapress.com/product/from-one-life-to-the-next-life/?srsltid=AfmBOorymKsRPl9qZlNH91dglhkMuoqSkLUd1EdThXJfSxY72ARG1UeJElissa can be reached at elissafelder613@gmail.com To inquire about sponsorship & advertising opportunities, please email us at info@humanandholy.comTo support our work, visit humanandholy.com/sponsor.Find us on Instagram @humanandholy & subscribe to our channel to stay up to date on all our upcoming conversations ✨Human & Holy podcast is available on all podcast streaming platforms.
