In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, we sit down with Dr. Alex Planes—an inspiring entrepreneur who turned humble beginnings and massive adversity into a thriving multi–eight-figure dental empire. From moving to the Dominican Republic at 21 with no clear path, to battling financial stress, rejection, and even discrimination, Dr. Planes never let setbacks define him. Instead, he built a blueprint for growth—scaling practices from $300K to $2.5M in record time. You'll hear how Alex: Used vision boards, mindset, and resilience to overcome self-doubt and tough circumstances. Invested in professional development and team training to multiply revenue tenfold. Applied marketing strategies—direct mail, SEO, and social media—to drive massive patient growth. Transitioned from dentist to consultant, helping others build their own dental empires. Whether you're a dentist, entrepreneur, or simply chasing growth in your own life, this conversation is packed with lessons on faith, focus, and execution.
With quantum computers threatening to compromise today's encryption in just a few years, businesses around the world are working to audit and remediate their exposure. Global bank Santander bank began its quantum computing audit program by first acknowledging a core problem: they didn't actually know what cryptography they were using across their systems. To address this, Santander Global Tech head of quantum tech Mark Carney told a recent SANS Institute conference, the bank launched a discovery exercise, mapping out cryptographic assets and aligning them with evolving standards. They partnered with Microsoft and GitHub to extend CodeQL, enabling static code analysis that could identify weak or outdated cryptography hidden in code, despite variations in naming and APIs. In parallel, they built dynamic monitoring tools using eBPF, which allowed them to tap into network traffic, extract cipher suites, handshake details, and key usage, and then aggregate the data. This revealed, for example, that about a quarter of traffic in their lab environment was already negotiating hybrid post quantum computing (PQC) connections.

The Passover was a shadow and type pointing to Christ. God had a plan to reveal Himself to the children of Israel and to judge the people of Egypt. By applying the blood of the lamb to the door, God's people were spared from the tenth plague, the death of the firstborn. Although they had not known God, He had a plan for them: if they obeyed His voice, He would deliver them.

Hi Everyone, Happy Tuesday! I am so excited for you to get to know today's guest. When I first saw Brandon Rogers, it was at a con and he had a line of people waiting to see him that went out the door and down the block. I said to myself, “I have got to get to know this person.” If you don't know Brandon's work, he has been making incredible, hilarious short videos for YouTube for almost 20 years (since the beginning!). Do yourself a favor and do a deep dive. His characters are outlandish, subversive and most of all, fun. He is now the star of the animated show Helluva Boss, where he plays Blitzo. This conversation was a blast and honestly really educational. Brandon and I bond over what makes us laugh (people getting hurt, sorry!). We also talk about our relationships with our fans and how AI is changing the landscape for independent creators. After the interview, I sit down with my producer Jeph and talk about the conversation in a segment we call the Hindsight. Join us there and on Patreon for more goodies!

Increasingly, Christians offer a return to the philosophical reasoning of the ancients as the way forward in addressing public policies that put at issue what it means to be human. Getting back on the right road, as C.S. Lewis put it, toward the consideration of human meaning in public policy is necessary. But how does the eschatology of a Christian view of law apply to philosophical reasoning as the way forward?

Gardening isn't static—it evolves as we learn, as plants grow, and as our vision for our outdoor spaces changes. Today's episode tackles the art and science of moving plants within your garden, a skill that frees you to redesign without starting over or breaking the bank.We begin by exploring the foundational principle of "right plant, right place" that should guide your initial planting decisions. Understanding your garden's conditions and matching them to plant requirements can prevent the need for transplanting altogether. But gardens change, and sometimes plants need to find new homes within our spaces.The timing of transplanting proves crucial for success. The dormant season—November through February—offers the ideal window when plants are less susceptible to shock. Perennials like lupins, verbena, and geraniums can be easily moved during this period, while larger woody plants require more careful consideration and technique.Mycorrhizal fungi emerges as the secret weapon for successful transplanting. This natural ally forms a symbiotic relationship with plant roots, increasing their ability to absorb water and nutrients. Applied at planting time, it significantly improves establishment rates and helps mitigate transplant shock.For larger specimens like trees and shrubs, we delve into specific techniques to preserve as much of the root system as possible, reduce top growth to decrease demands on the compromised roots, and provide proper aftercare. Container plants present their own challenges, particularly when root-bound, and we cover how to correct circular root patterns before planting.Whether you're making minor adjustments to perennial placement or undertaking the significant challenge of moving a mature magnolia, understanding these principles and techniques will transform your approach to garden design. Your plants deserve this second chance, and with our guidance, they'll thrive in their new locations.Support the showIf there is any topic you would like covered in future episodes, please let me know.

Google's Quantum AI team has made a significant advancement in quantum error correction, as reported in a paper published in Nature. The team successfully demonstrated the ability to reduce the error rate of a logical qubit by scaling up the distance of the surface code, starting with a distance-3 grid – the smallest possible surface code, which uses a 3x3 qubit grid to form one logical qubit out of 17 physical qubits.

"It's by far the most important race we've been in in the world." That's what Applied Digital CEO Wes Cummins told us on this episode of Plain Talk. "In my opinion, there's two countries that are racing forward to advance AI, to reach super intelligence, to reach AGI [artificial general intelligence], and it's the United States and it's China." Cummins says he wants the United States to win that race, which is why they're investing heavily in data center infrastructure across the country, including billions of dollars' worth of projects in North Dakota. But that push is not without some local headwinds. Opposition to one of their proposed data centers in Harwood, North Dakota, has manifested itself in some shouty public meetings, if not necessarily pushback from the larger public. One bone of contention has been nondisclosure agreements that his company had some local officials, including elected leaders, sign ahead of the Harwood project. Many (including this humble correspondent) have been critical of that move, but Cummins said it's a reality given the nature of their business as a publicly-traded company. "What I will say is there is no purpose to keep information away from the public that they need to have to be informed to know what's going on," he said. "These are typically things that we do prior to us launching a project or doing a project." There are two purposes of an NDA in this context. One is to protect the company's competitive information, since local officials get to tour facilities and learn details about building plans, but the other is to ensure that no illegal trading schemes emerge from the information shared. "So say we have the mayor and he's not steeped in public company rules and regulations, and he tells a couple of his friends or people that work around it or people that he's close with that this big new project could be coming," Cummins said, describing one possible scenarios. "And then they go and find our company, and they say, 'You know what? This is interesting. Maybe I'll buy their stock.' And then you have this issue of potentially violations in insider trading laws." Cummins defended the NDAs by saying they're part of promoting a clean project. "A lot of people who want to yell about, you know, that they're bought and paid for or were trying to hide something would be even happier if one of these guys got in trouble for a simple misstep on something that they didn't know about." And what about the claims that these power-hungry data centers will drive up power prices for North Dakotans? Cummins said that it won't be a problem, because North Dakota already produces far more power than it uses. "When you're a net power exporter and you start using power inside of your state, you just export less power, and so the power is already abundant." He said that at the company's facility in Ellendale, they're actually saving rate payers money, because their facility is allowing utilities to use capacity they were paying for but not utilizing. "With us adding 200 megawatts of load in Ellendale for the last 2 years, we have saved the MDU ratepayers 3.5 million in 2023 that was dispersed back to the ratepayers, and 5.7 million, I believe, in 2024. So we have two years of record of utilizing the infrastructure that's there. The utility makes more money and then shares that money back with its customers." Cummins said he wasn't sure if that would be the case with the Harwood facility, but he's not concerned about his company's power consumption driving up rates.

Salum Abdul-Rahman: The SECI Model of Knowledge Management Applied to Team Retrospectives Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Salum explains how the key role for Scrum Masters is to help teams develop themselves to the point where they can learn and grow without constant guidance. Success means building team resilience and operational capability while knowing when to step back. He emphasizes the importance of recalibration workshops to maintain shared understanding and the balance between supporting teams and challenging them to become self-sufficient. When teams reach this level of maturity, Scrum Masters can focus their efforts elsewhere, knowing the team has developed the capability to continue evolving independently. Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: The 5-Stage Retro Format From the book "Agile Retrospectives," this format captures the complete learning process and aligns beautifully with knowledge management principles. Salum connects the three central phases of this format to the SECI model of knowledge management, particularly referencing Nonaka and Takeuchi's work in "The Knowledge Creating Company." This retrospective structure helps teams create new knowledge and behavioral change by following a systematic approach that transforms individual insights into collective team learning and action. In this segment, we also refer to the seminal article by Takeuchi and Nonaka: “The New New Product Development Game”, which originated the work on Scrum as a framework. Self-reflection Question: How do you recognize when your team has developed enough self-sufficiency that your role as facilitator can evolve or step back? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
The episode opens with Bhatt framing the global stakes: from drones on the battlefield to AI-powered early warning systems, militaries worldwide are racing to integrate AI, often citing strategic necessity in volatile security environments. Mohan underscores that AI in conflict cannot be characterized in a single way, applications range from decision-support systems and logistics to disinformation campaigns and border security.The conversation explores two categories of AI-related risks:Inherent risks: design flaws, bias in datasets, adversarial attacks, and human–machine trust calibration.Applied risks: escalation through miscalculation, misuse in targeting, and AI's role as a force multiplier for nuclear and cyber threats.On governance, Mohan explains the fragmentation of current disarmament processes, where AI intersects with multiple regimes, nuclear, cyber, conventional arms, yet lacks a unified framework. She highlights ongoing debates at the UN's Group of Governmental Experts (GGE) on LAWS, where consensus has been stalled over definitions, human-machine interaction, and whether regulation should be voluntary or treaty-based.International humanitarian law (IHL) remains central, with discussions focusing on how principles like distinction, proportionality, and precaution can apply to autonomous systems. Mohan also emphasizes a “life-cycle approach” to weapon assessment, extending legal and ethical oversight from design to deployment and decommissioning.A significant portion of the conversation turns to gender and bias, an area Mohan has advanced through her research at UNIDIR. She draws attention to how gendered and racial biases encoded in AI systems can manifest in conflict, stressing the importance of diversifying participation in both technology design and disarmament diplomacy.Looking forward, Mohan cites UN Secretary-General António Guterres's call for a legally binding instrument on autonomous weapons by 2026. She argues that progress will depend on multi-stakeholder engagement, national strategies on AI, and confidence-building measures between states. The episode closes with a reflection on the future of warfare as inseparable from governance innovation—shifting from arms reduction to resilience, capacity-building, and responsible innovation.Episode ContributorsShimona Mohan is an associate researcher on Gender & Disarmament and Security & Technology at UNIDIR in Geneva, Switzerland. She was named among Women in AI Ethics' “100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics for 2024.” Her areas of focus include the multifarious intersections of security, emerging technologies (in particular AI and cybersecurity), gender, and disarmament. Charukeshi Bhatt is a research analyst at Carnegie India, where her work focuses on the intersection of emerging technologies and international security. Her current research explores how advancements in technologies such as AI are shaping global disarmament frameworks and security norms.ReadingsGender and Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems, UNIDIR Factsheet Political Declaration on Responsible Military Use of AI and Autonomy, US Department of StateAI in the Military Domain: A Briefing Note for States by Giacomo Persi Paoli and Yasmin AfinaUnderstanding the Global Debate on Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems: An Indian Perspective by Charukeshi Bhatt and Tejas Bharadwaj Every two weeks, Interpreting India brings you diverse voices from India and around the world to explore the critical questions shaping the nation's future.

Christians should give thanks for a “Christian” outcome in a judicial dispute over a particular parental right, but I believe that is not enough. I believe the end or telos of a Christian view of law would strive to restore in law parental rights as an authority delegated by God with a prescribed jurisdiction give for certain ends—”godly offspring” (Malachi 2:15). Today I explain the legislative proposal I offered Tennessee’s legislature that would moved law in that direction.
