    Sara Weinshenk is joined by SHENK producer Lee Nason for a chaotic solo episode covering everything from energy drinks and haunted dolls to airplane dance floors, movie-theater chili, AI privacy and Sara's deeply questionable ChatGPT history. Sara and Lee react to the story of a man allegedly losing his ability to walk after years of drinking energy drinks, discover that 1970s airplanes apparently had dance floors, and debate whether a 126-year-old doll is actually haunted. They also discuss the guy who brought a crock pot of chili into an IMAX and started selling bowls during the movie. Then things get increasingly personal as Sara looks through the bizarre questions she's asked ChatGPT, including health concerns, random facts, movie runtimes and whether yellow jackets are carnivorous. They also discuss AI chat privacy, leaked conversations, impulse spending, Amazon purchases, death and Kanye West's alleged bucket list.

A hot reading would revive stagflation concerns by combining weaker hiring with renewed price pressure. Tariffs Return Under New Authority - New tariffs of 10% to 12.5% cover imports from 60 trading partners. - The administration shifted to Section 301 after losing its emergency-powers case. - Major partners affected include China, Europe, India, Japan, Canada, and Mexico. - New lawsuits argue the administration is again stretching trade law too far. - 25 States are suing on this .... Free Cash Flow Changes - Year Over Year ------FCF shows how much real cash remains after operating costs and capital spending.

Nearly two decades and 900+ scenes into her career, Jennifer is entering her most empowering era yet.

    “I don't think AI quite has us figured out yet because, as human beings, we'll listen to sad songs to feel better. I don't think it understands that. That's true, it's contrary… Yeah, I mean, I think that AI has its place. I'm not all against it, just as a matter of course, I just think that it shouldn't replace our creativity. That's what makes us human, and I don't want to see a computer replace that. Yeah, I want it to clean my house and cook my meals so that I can create.” – Jodi Krangle & Laney McCormickThis episode is the second half of my conversation with music supervisors Laney and Matt McCormick as we talk about how AI music's changing the way human musicians approach their work, striking the right balance between playing it safe and making a memorable sonic impression, and how COVID and the rise of social media have changed sound editing and our approach to sonic branding.As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

I would so appreciate that.(00:00) – AI and CreativityOur conversation continues as Laney and Matt talk about the impact of AI on their industry, such as how fast musicians who find themselves competing with AI feel they have to work. “The speed's definitely an issue,” Matt says. “It's not easy to crank out an authentic song, and it's not even easy to crank out an inauthentic song. In a lot of ways, it's even harder.” Laney notes some of the trends she's seen in music marketing and how positive messaging is making a comeback. “I see more for that whole motivational lyrical content,” she explains, “They want rap and hip hop beat, female vocal, clean lyrics, and we see a lot of requests come in with female vocals. I think that's really cool.”(12:45) – Trends in Music LicensingThe discussion turns to pop culture and how sound is becoming more and more important in making a strong impression. “Stranger Things has a huge budget for music,” Laney tells us, “and they're using huge tunes, and those are, you know, those are the supervisors acting as influencers in many ways. ‘Running Up That Hill' was a B-side, and here it is, huge again.” Matt adds his thoughts on the musical risks brands are willing to take in order to stand out. “Everybody always wants to do something different, but that's a risk, right?” he explains. “I mean your large brands, whether it's Coca-Cola, Amazon, Nike, Taco Bell… Are those brands willing to take, like, a really huge risk with music and with sound? And the answer for me is, I don't know. But I don't see it very often.”(20:00) – The Role of Sound in AdvertisingAs our conversation comes to a close, Laney and Matt tell listeners how they can get in touch, and they both share their thoughts on the power of sound and its importance in our lives. “Music specifically for me is a therapy of sorts,” Laney says. “It doesn't matter what my problem is, what my mood is, or what activity I need to do, want to do, or have to do. There is a genre and a record that will make that easier for me.” Matt talks about sound's ability to connect us to one another, and how it creates a common ground for people from every walk of life. “Sound moves you,” he tells us. “And it can be a common ground for everybody in a way. It's hard to listen to an emotional piece of music and not be emotional and not feel that with the person that's next to you or multiple people next to you.”Episode SummaryOur discussion on how AI affects human creativity in music.Laney and Matt reveal the current trends in music requests and licensing.Matt and Laney discuss why they prioritize authentic music in their work.Connect with the GuestConnect with the Audio Branding Podcast:Book your project with Voice Overs and Vocals by visiting https://voiceoversandvocals.comConnect with me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jodikrangle/Watch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding (Thank you!)Share your passion effectively with these Tips for Sounding Your Best as a Podcast Guest!https://voiceoversandvocals.com/tips-for-sounding-your-best-as-a-podcast-guest/Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an Intentional Audio Strategyhttps://voiceoversandvocals.com/audio-branding-strategy/Editing/Production by Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

    Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today's episode, we dive deep into the risks and realities shaping the AI boom—and the hidden dangers lurking beneath the surface of the financial system powering it. Tom is joined by researcher Ed Zitron and financial analyst Stephen Yu to unravel how massive investments in AI, circular financing, and shadow banking are pushing unprecedented risk into the world's economy. We'll explore how companies like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are propping up unprofitable AI ventures, why much of the industry's growth is riding on just a few players, and what this means for your 401(k) and the broader financial landscape.From complex accounting maneuvers to eye-popping numbers behind AI data center buildouts, today's conversation exposes the ways risk is being shifted from banks to average investors, drawing parallels to past financial crises. Is AI the new too-big-to-fail industry? Are we witnessing history repeating itself? Most importantly, how can you position yourself to weather a potential storm?Strap in as we break down the circular financing of AI, the reality behind the growth narrative, and the vital questions every investor needs to ask in this high-stakes game.

    What happens when a veteran criminal investigator turns his attention to the paranormal? Lawrence Lawson joins me to talk about the experiences that took him from a long career in law enforcement into serious paranormal research, beginning with a full-bodied apparition he witnessed as a young correctional officer in Miami. We get into how his detective background shapes the way he approaches strange claims, why he looks for ordinary explanations first, and why investigating the unexplained requires both an open mind and a willingness to follow the evidence wherever it leads. We also explore some bigger questions about what these experiences might actually represent, from ghosts and reincarnation to time slips, parallel dimensions and the still-mysterious capabilities of the human mind. Lawrence shares stories connected to his book, Haunted Indian River County. It's a fascinating conversation about evidence, belief, history and mysteries that refuse to fit neatly into any one explanation.

What if it were also a sacred opportunity to glorify God, disciple your family, and welcome others with the love of Christ?In this episode of the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, T.S. Wright welcomes Gina Romero, author of Welcome Home: A Guide to Homemaking from the Heart. Gina shares her powerful testimony of walking away from her faith, suffering a debilitating spinal injury, and ultimately returning to God as a modern-day prodigal.Gina also recounts the difficult pregnancy and premature birth of her daughter, Estella, who arrived three months early and weighed only one pound. Through this season of trauma, prayer, and dependence upon God, Gina began to recognize His greater purpose for her life.Years later, God called her to write a book about homemaking. Gina responded in obedience, completing the manuscript in six weeks. Welcome Home became a number-one Amazon new release and launched a growing ministry dedicated to helping women approach their homes, families, and responsibilities from a biblical perspective.In this conversation, Gina and T.S. discuss:Returning to God after a prodigal seasonTrusting God through pain, trauma, and uncertaintyRecognizing and obeying God's callingHomemaking as a ministry rather than a pursuit of perfectionBiblical hospitality and welcoming others as Jesus didStewarding the home, finances, possessions, and family memoriesCreating practical household and organizational systemsUsing family meals to disciple childrenLearning from the Proverbs 31 and Titus 2 womenUnderstanding the complementary roles of men and womenFollowing God's calling at home, in ministry, and in the marketplaceAllowing ministry and responsible income-producing work to coexistGina reminds us that Christian homemaking is not defined by the labels “traditional” or “progressive.” It begins with seeking the Lord, listening to His voice, and faithfully following the unique assignment He has prepared for each person.As Gina explains, others may teach us how to create beautiful things in our homes, but only God can teach us who we should become while doing them.Your story is for God's glory. Whether your calling leads you into the home, the boardroom, the ministry, or the marketplace, the central question remains: Are you seeking God, listening to His direction, and following where He leads?CALL TO ACTIONHow can your home become a place of discipleship, hospitality, and God's presence?Begin by asking the Lord how He wants to use your home, your family, and your personal story for His glory.

A local orchardist flew him across Washington in a Cessna 172 so he could make a state playoff baseball game. He got there as the game started, changed in the car, and hit a three-run homer off a future big leaguer to win it.That flight sent him to the Air Force Academy and into 23 years in the cockpit: F-15s at Holloman, F-16s as an aggressor during the fall of the Soviet Union, an exchange tour with the Navy in the F/A-18, and later a modified 727 as a test pilot for Raytheon.In episode 366 we get into what sports actually teaches you about flying, why leadership is service and nothing else, the three C's every team needs, what it feels like at Mach 2 versus 300 feet and nine miles a minute, losing seven friends early in his career and what it changed about how he takes risk, and where electric and hybrid training aircraft might actually make sense.Kyle's book, The Sky Less Traveled: The Maverick Life of Leadership, Resilience, and the Pursuit of Purpose, is on Amazon now, with the audiobook coming this fall.In this episode: first flight over the Cascades • Air Force Academy football and gliders • pilot training at Laughlin, where half the class washed out • F-15 vs F-16 vs F/A-18 • the aggressor years • flying the 727 as a test pilot • the squadron bar, call signs, and crud • three things he'd tell anyone starting over

Sean provides practical guidance on navigating the complexities of Section 179, Bonus Depreciation, and the critical need for collaboration with a knowledgeable CPA to avoid costly mistakes like double-dipping or misclassification. We break down the key topics: the nuances of asset-class classifications, the importance of detailed engineering studies, and how to leverage property features such as roll-up doors and partition walls for maximum benefit. You'll also understand the broader market drivers, such as housing movement and interest rates, that influence self-storage demand and why timing your investments with these factors can enhance your tax strategy.

    SED News is a monthly podcast from Software Engineering Daily where hosts Gregor Vand and Sean Falconer break down the biggest stories shaping software engineering, Silicon Valley, and the broader tech industry. In this episode, Gregor and Sean dig into a wave of “runaway AI” stories, including Anthropic and OpenAI disclosing that their models accessed outside organizations during cyber evaluations, and Amazon reporting a staggering budget overrun blamed on bad agent loops. They explore why most of these incidents trace back to human decisions rather than models breaking free, and the awkward reality that today’s systems can bill you for tokens without reliably counting them. They also talk about the “Kimi moment.” Moonshot AI‘s open weight model has closed the gap with frontier models like ChatGPT and Claude at a remarkable pace, and the hosts unpack what it means for open weight strategies and how chip scarcity is pushing Chinese labs to innovate. As always, the episode wraps up with a few standout Hacker News threads, including a JetBrains test of a “caveman speak” skill that promised big token savings, how refactoring can cut input token costs, the release of CodePen 2.0, and a build of Doom that renders through SQL queries.Sponsorship inquiries:sponsor@softwareengineeringdaily.com The post SED News: The Kimi Moment, Runaway AI, and Tokenmaxxing appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

We talk honestly about whether NASM is worth it, why so many “gold standard” certifications still leave trainers with shaky programming skills, and how the industry sets beginners up to confuse a piece of paper with professional competence. We also pull a Reddit-style case study into the spotlight: a trainer using AI to write workout plans, getting better client feedback, even raising prices, and still feeling like a fraud. We break down the line between smart leverage and dangerous dependency, and why AI can support great coaching but can't replace the craft. Real value comes from cueing, judgment, and adapting on the fly, not from reciting overactive muscles or hiding behind acronyms. From there we zoom out to what actually builds a sustainable personal training career: hands-on learning, mentorship, supervised reps, and a team approach that includes referrals to a physical therapist or registered dietitian when it's appropriate. We get into the uncomfortable business truths too, like why so many trainers struggle to sell, why confidence collapses when your product is generic, and how skilled coaches think about pricing and multiple revenue streams. If you're serious about becoming a respected, high-earning trainer, this is a roadmap for what to learn next and what to stop trusting.

    Amazon keeps raising the bar. Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc open with the retailer's blockbuster quarter: massive gains in AWS and advertising, staggering AI capex, and retail revenue up 16% year over year, up from 12% last year. Third-party sellers now drive more than 60% of the business, and Citi pegs underlying GMV growth near 10%, roughly double the industry average. Amazon's B2B division alone now tops $60 billion, bigger than all but eleven U.S. retailers. Then the hosts dig into the agentic commerce numbers Amazon disclosed as Rufus folds into Alexa shopping, why sample bias demands caution here, and how grocery momentum is turning Amazon into a mega market-share threat.  Then: Shopify's revenue up 32%, and the tale-of-two-cities reality that a handful of giants now drive nearly all e-commerce growth. A mid-year check on Steve's Prediction #8 — luxury's future won't be evenly distributed. LVMH, Kering, and Capri lag on China softness and war induced Gulf weakness, while Hermès, Ralph Lauren, Richemont, and Zegna keep delivering outsized results. Live from the CommerceNext Growth Show: Kartik Hosanagar. He's Wharton's John C. Hower Professor of Technology and Digital Business, author of A Human's Guide to Machine Intelligence, and co-founder of Bliss Labs. His argument: the biggest shift in retail isn't a new technology or channel. It's a new customer. Treating AI as another distribution channel is the same mistake movie studios made with Netflix. There's no marketing science for AI yet. $9.99 pricing, scarcity, social proof — a model may not respond to any of it. Kartik walks through the Ridge wallet case: invisible in ChatGPT's "gifts for men" results, then the default recommendation within three weeks, complete with a hallucinated promotion. Every retailer faces the same fork: efficiency or meaning. The middle is the most dangerous place to stand. Kartik also details the simulation sandboxes that let brands test counterfactuals in a day instead of eight weeks, why you can't just ask an LLM why it picked a brand, and the three attitudes retailers need now: curious, experimental, collaborative Back in studio: Wayfair's encouraging quarter and Steve's change of heart, Warby Parker's mixed report as store count passes 400, tariff rebates ($100 billion of $160 billion already repaid, more tariffs looming), and whether live selling has hit its tipping point with QVC out of bankruptcy and Whatnot valued at $20 billion.

    Episode 332 - Alexa Shopping Is Changing Amazon SEO

    Scott sits with Christian, founder of Autopilot, about his extensive study on Amazon's AI shopping assistant (Alexa / Rufus) and how generative recommendations are fundamentally changing how products get discovered on and off Amazon. Christian explains that AI-driven shopping isn't just a replica of traditional search results, it also represents a distinct "third shelf" alongside organic search and paid advertising. Through a study analyzing over 110,000 search listings and 13,000+ Alexa recommendations, Christian discovered that 64% of Alexa's suggestions actually fall outside the top 10 organic search results. While top organic spots hold an advantage for the primary recommendation, deeper AI suggestions heavily favor long-tail products backed by strong star ratings (4+ stars), high sales velocity, and concise titles optimized for AI truncation. Furthermore, running PPC ads offers only a tiny chance of forcing an AI recommendation if the listing lacks strong underlying signals. The big takeaway is that AI discoverability operates as a holistic 360-degree ecosystem. Off-Amazon content on target sites, D2C stores, and deal forums heavily feeds engines like ChatGPT and Google AI. To win in the long run, brands must optimize their data infrastructure and create "agent-friendly" D2C content that AI bots can crawl, validate, and convert into citations and recommendations.
