Have a Do Nothing Day Topic:The guys dive into the complex challenge of mental rest and the idea of having a “do nothing” day. What does it mean to truly rest, especially for neurodiverse men whose minds rarely stop racing? Main Themes & Takeaways:• Rest vs. Productivity:Many participants admit that even when given free time, they struggle to stop doing. Rest often becomes just another task to accomplish.• Making Rest Intentional:Some found that designating rest as a “task” (e.g., the duty of Sabbath or the ministry of presence) helps them engage more fully in non-productive activities without guilt.• Manual Tasks as Restful:Simple, repetitive manual labor (such as weeding, doing dishes, or cutting grass) often provides enough stimulation to keep the body occupied and allow the mind to slow down.• Rest Styles Are Individual:The conversation affirmed that rest is highly personal—some find rest in watching sports or shows, while others find it through reading or physical exercise. What's restful to one (e.g., pulling weeds) can feel like torture to another.• Mental Stillness Is Harder Than Physical Stillness:Most of the men agreed that while they can stop moving, stopping their minds from constantly thinking or solving problems is a much harder task.• Neurodiversity and Rest:The group highlighted how neurodivergent wiring affects the experience of rest. ADHD traits, pathological demand avoidance, and autism spectrum traits influence how they pursue or avoid downtime.• The Role of Family Systems:The guys acknowledged the need to consider how one's version of rest fits into the broader family context. Rest shouldn't disrupt the connection with spouses or children.• Sabbath Framed as Task and Discipline:Rest, especially in a spiritual context, is seen not as laziness but as obedience, modeled after God's rest on the seventh day. It may take discipline to actually stop. Humor & Insight:From references to Phineas and Ferb's “Do Nothing Day” to humorous yet poignant nods to North Korean labor camps (as a metaphor for tasks they dislike), the episode strikes a balance between depth and levity. Closing Reflection:True rest might not be inactivity—it might be freedom from expectations. For these men, a restful day often still includes accomplishments, but they come without pressure or obligation.

Today, Dr. Stephanie & Barb discuss the differences in reasons for divorce between men and women when they divorce. Dr. Stephanie interviews Barb about her two divorces in neurodiverse marriages.Other discussion points:Why is divorce so stigmatized in the Church?Are there differences in the reasons men and women divorce, based on a Stanford University study on divorce?Is abuse a biblical reason for divorce?Does Malachi 2:16 say God hates divorce or the impact of it?How do we love those who have gone through divorce?Can people who are divorced help marriages?What is a life-saving divorce?Does God overpower your will and change your heart?What makes a healthy God-honoring covenant?"Divorce is not an option" has been weaponized- how?

Speak (https://speak.com) may not be very well known to native English speakers, but they have come from a slow start in 2016 to emerge as one of the favorite partners of OpenAI, with their Startup Fund leading and joining their Series B and C as one of the new AI-native unicorns, noting that “Speak has the potential to revolutionize not just language learning, but education broadly”. Today we speak with Speak's CTO, Andrew Hsu, on the journey of building the “3rd generation” of language learning software (with Rosetta Stone being Gen 1, and Duolingo being Gen 2). Speak's premise is that speech and language models can now do what was previously only possible with human tutors—provide fluent, responsive, and adaptive instruction—and this belief has shaped its product and company strategy since its early days. https://www.linkedin.com/in/adhsu/ https://speak.com One of the most interesting strategic decisions discussed in the episode is Speak's early focus on South Korea. While counterintuitive for a San Francisco-based startup, the decision was influenced by a combination of market opportunity and founder proximity via a Korean first employee. South Korea's intense demand for English fluency and a highly competitive education market made it a proving ground for a deeply AI-native product. By succeeding in a market saturated with human-based education solutions, Speak validated its model and built strong product-market fit before expanding to other Asian markets and eventually, globally. The arrival of Whisper and GPT-based LLMs in 2022 marked a turning point for Speak. Suddenly, capabilities that were once theoretical—real-time feedback, semantic understanding, conversational memory—became technically feasible. Speak didn't pivot, but rather evolved into its second phase: from a supplemental practice tool to a full-featured language tutor. This transition required significant engineering work, including building custom ASR models, managing latency, and integrating real-time APIs for interactive lessons. It also unlocked the possibility of developing voice-first, immersive roleplay experiences and a roadmap to real-time conversational fluency. To scale globally and support many languages, Speak is investing heavily in AI-generated curriculum and content. Instead of manually scripting all lessons, they are building agents and pipelines that can scaffold curriculum, generate lesson content, and adapt pedagogically to the learner. This ties into one of Speak's most ambitious goals: creating a knowledge graph that captures what a learner knows and can do in a target language, and then adapting the course path accordingly. This level-adjusting tutor model aims to personalize learning at scale and could eventually be applied beyond language learning to any educational domain. Finally, the conversation touches on the broader implications of AI-powered education and the slow real-world adoption of transformative AI technologies. Despite the capabilities of GPT-4 and others, most people's daily lives haven't changed dramatically. Speak sees itself as part of the generation of startups that will translate AI's raw power into tangible consumer value. The company is also a testament to long-term conviction—founded in 2016, it weathered years of slow growth before AI caught up to its vision. Now, with over $50M ARR, a growing B2B arm, and plans to expand across languages and learning domains, Speak represents what AI-native education could look like in the next decade.

In deze aflevering is Bram van Sunder te gast, Partner Financial Services bij EY. We hebben het over zijn loopbaan – van ondernemen in China tot jong partner worden – én over zijn specialisme: risicomanagement in een wereld vol onzekerheid. Aanleiding voor het gesprek is het recente EY-rapport Risk Management's Strategic Opportunity in a Time of Turbulence. We bespreken de veranderende rol van de CRO, de groeiende druk op weerbaarheid, en de vraag of organisaties klaar zijn voor disruptie langs de assen van AI, geopolitiek en IT. Bram deelt niet alleen scherpe inzichten over het vak, maar ook over de menselijke kant van leiderschap: hoe geef je richting als risico's zich opstapelen en zekerheden verdwijnen?

Have you been taught that all emotions except joy are bad? That you need to "count it all joy" in such a way that in your church or religious circles emotions were taught as bad or good, Christians don't have big emotions like sadness, anger, or fear? Today is not a discussion like that!. Dr. Stephanie & Dan talk with Chris & Jen Coursey about REAL joy, and that joy is not a choice, and that joy does not mean denying or diminishing other emotions. Join our discussion today to learn:Joy vs. HappinessManaging and Processing the Big 6 EmotionsRemaining Relational and your Christ-centered self when you have big emotions! Many ND Christian relationships are high conflict, full of trauma, and low or no joy!

In this insightful episode of Neurodiverse Christian Couples, hosts Stephanie and Dan welcome Ed Khouri, President of Equipping Hearts for the Harvest and author of "Becoming a Face of Grace." Together, they explore the crucial interplay between grace and joy, clarifying how genuine grace—being seen as special and favored without earning it—naturally leads to joy, the gladness of being together. Can you have grace AND have boundaries? What about the phrase, "Just give me grace." The conversation tackles deep relational issues common in neurodiverse marriages, such as navigating attachment pain, understanding the differences between sin, transgression, and iniquity, and developing effective boundaries without enabling harmful behavior. Ed emphasizes practical strategies for couples to build emotional capacity and relational resilience, including shared quieting exercises and storytelling techniques aimed at fostering mutual joy and appreciation. Listeners will find hope and practical guidance for overcoming challenges related to executive functioning, emotional regulation, and relational misunderstandings. Ed Khouri's insights underscore how grace, boundaries, and joy work together to nurture a healthier, thriving neurodiverse marriage. About our Guest: Ed KhouriEd is passionate about helping churches, leaders, and small groups develop thriving, healthycommunities rooted in grace, joy, and peace.

Sans surprise, l'Iran a mené cette nuit une opération de représailles contre les frappes israéliennes. Le Jerusalem Post a passé, nous dit-il, « une nuit dans un abri israélien, sous les missiles iraniens ». L'un des habitants raconte : « j'étais à un dîner pour Shabbat lorsque les deux vagues de missiles ont été lancées depuis l'Iran (…) Nous étions une vingtaine, et nous avons été stupéfaits de voir la vidéo d'un missile s'écraser sur le centre d'Israël, d'autant que ça s'est passé à seulement quelques pâtés de maisons d'où nous nous trouvions ». Le reporter du Jerusalem Post raconte « les centaines de secouristes », qui sont sur place. « Plusieurs heures après le drame », ajoute-t-il, « des familles sortaient encore du bâtiment. Des parents portaient des bébés (…) je n'ai vu ni larmes ni panique. Seulement des gens qui en ont tellement vu, qui ont tellement vécu et qui sont terriblement fatigués. » Réactions en Iran De son côté, Courrier international a cherché à savoir comment les Iraniens réagissent aux frappes menées par Israël. « Réveillés en pleine nuit par le bruit assourdissant des multiples explosions dues aux frappes », nous dit-on, « les habitants de Téhéran sont descendus en panique dans les rues. Dès le matin, de longues files d'attente se sont formées devant les stations-services, aussi bien à Téhéran qu'ailleurs dans les grandes villes du pays, par crainte de pénurie ou de hausse des prix. » Courrier international reprend par ailleurs les propos du site réformateur Asr-e Iran, qui « reproche au régime "de ne pas avoir pris au sérieux les avertissements contre une possible infiltration" des services de renseignements israéliens ». Le même site d'information iranien ajoute que « si le régime n'est pas en mesure de faire "regretter aux Israéliens" leur attaque par une riposte d'envergure, il vaudrait mieux envisager "une révision de profondeur de sa politique", vis-à-vis d'Israël. » Pari risqué La situation, en tout cas, suscite l'inquiétude. Inquiétude exprimée notamment par le journal Libération, qui parle « d'un embrasement dangereux aux accents religieux ». « L'attaque israélienne spectaculaire contre l'Iran », poursuit le quotidien français (…) « représente d'un point de vue militaire une énorme réussite. Du point de vue politique, par contre, elle met en danger des millions de civils, y compris la population israélienne, et fait basculer le Moyen-Orient dans un embrasement que les pompiers habituels (les États-Unis, le Conseil de sécurité et les États avoisinants) ne peuvent ou ne veulent plus éteindre ». Enfin, en Espagne, El Païs parle « d'un pari risqué », estimant que « l'attaque israélienne encourage ceux qui, en Iran, voient la bombe atomique comme une garantie de survie du régime ».

In episode 550 of ADHD reWired, Eric Tivers sits down with Dr. Shannan Palma to explore Decide—a suite of AI-powered decision-support tools built by and for neurodivergent brains. Throughout this conversation, you'll hear about: How Decide leverages AI (Gemini and large language models) to help with everyday choices and multi-step tasks. The story behind IT Assistive Technologies and the Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network. Real-world examples of “decision fatigue” and how Decide's guided and randomized features ease choice paralysis. The balance between AI assistance and human insight—and why a trusting, well-prompted tool can feel like a personal neurodivergent life coach. Pricing, privacy, and the community-focused mission: 85 percent of ITI's profits fund disability-led initiatives. Bonus segments on Pride Month, coaching groups, virtual coworking, and how to get involved with ADHD reWired's summer programs. Use these show notes to get a quick overview, find useful links, and discover why Decide might become your new go-to when you're stuck choosing dinner, figuring out a daily routine, or simply need a gentle “nudge” to move forward. Episode Summary Dr. Shannan Palma—co-founder of Decide and co-director of the Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network—joins Eric to unpack how tools designed by autistic and ADHD adults can transform decision making for all of us. Shannan shares her own late autism and ADHD diagnoses, the challenges she faced finding resources after getting “the piece of paper,” and how a 48-hour hackathon sparked a project that won first prize and secured nearly $400 k in grant funding. From door-dash dilemmas to life-altering choices (like whether to adopt a foster dog), Decide offers two core modes: Randomized Choice Generator Users create custom lists (e.g., favorite restaurants, daily routines) and assign energy costs. The app selects an option based on your current energy level—no more breakfast indecision or “what to watch next” paralysis. Guided Decision Assistance A series of friendly, “affirmative” prompts mirror a real-time coach. By reflecting back your own criteria (energy, resources, priorities), Decide delivers a percentage-confidence recommendation and rationale—so you can make a defensible, informed choice without overthinking. Along the way, Shannan emphasizes the importance of privacy (your data always belongs to you), ethical AI (focusing on “do no harm”), and how Decide's freemium model avoids the “ADHD tax” by offering 10 free guided decisions per month. Premium access is available for $4.99/month, but you can cancel at any time without losing progress. Key Takeaways Why “Decision Fatigue” Matters: Neurodivergent brains often struggle with countless small choices (e.g., “What's for dinner?”). Decide's randomized generator isn't just for fun—it reduces executive-function load by factoring in your energy level and pre-ranked options. Guided Mode = Personalized Neurodivergent Coaching: Instead of writing complex prompts for ChatGPT or Claude, Decide asks you targeted yes/no/unsure questions. Once you answer, it gives a clear recommendation (with a confidence score) plus a brief “why,” so you trust your decision-making process. Built by Autistic + ADHD Makers: After Shannan's late autism diagnosis, she realized few supports existed for lower-visibility autistic adults. A 48-hour hackathon (Give Back Hack Columbus) brought together autistic and ADHD engineers, designers, and researchers—leading to Decide's prototype and subsequent $400 k grant from Ohio's Department of Developmental Disabilities. Community-First Funding Model: 85 percent of any IT Assistive Technologies' profits flow back to the Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network (ASR). ASR focuses on autonomy and resources for autistic adults—rather than caregiver research—aiming to expand capacity and economic inclusion across the lifespan. Privacy & Data Rights: Decide won't train AI on your personal data, and you retain full ownership of anything you input. Future plans include an opt-in research repository for autistic/ADHD lifespan data—governed by community safeguards.

Welcome back to Road to Hajj – a short series giving you a simple, practical overview of the Hajj journey. This isn't a deep dive or fiqh breakdown, just a companion to help you reflect on what each day of Hajj means.Today is the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah — the Day of ‘Arafah.Let's quickly recap: yesterday, on the 8th, the hujjaj doing Tamattu‘ re-entered ihram. Those performing Ifrād or Qirānwere already in ihram. Depending on their package, many hujjaj moved to Mina, but some may have gone straight to ‘Arafah for logistical reasons. That's okay — going to Mina on the 8th is sunnah, not a requirement.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.So what's special about today?The Day of ‘Arafah is the core of Hajj. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Al-Ḥajju ‘Arafah” — “Hajj is ‘Arafah.”If you miss the wuqūf — the standing at ‘Arafah — your Hajj is invalid.Wuqūf simply means to remain at the plains of ‘Arafah anytime between Dhuhr on the 9th and Fajr on the 10th. Whether you're in a tent, under an umbrella, or just standing in the open — if you're present in ‘Arafah during that window, you've fulfilled the rukun.Most hujjaj will pray Dhuhr and ‘Asr combined and shortened — two rak‘āt each. After the prayer and a brief khuṭbah, the real focus begins: du‘ā. This is the day to pour your heart out to Allah.The Prophet ﷺ made du‘ā from Dhuhr until Maghrib. In fact, this is the only day where du‘ā takes precedence over everything — even Ṣalāh. This is the day when Allah frees more people from Hellfire than any other day.And it's powerful. If you're there, you'll see millions standing shoulder to shoulder, crying, whispering, begging Allah for mercy, for forgiveness, for guidance, for whatever is in their hearts.It truly feels like a rehearsal for Yawm al-Qiyāmah — the Day of Judgment.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.But here's something that surprises people: even at Hajj, not everyone's experience is the same. Some are in VIP tents with buffet spreads and private toilets. Others are in basic tents. Some have no tents — just an umbrella and the open sky.You might think: “Wait, isn't Hajj supposed to make everyone equal?”But even on Yawm al-Qiyāmah, there's no absolute equality. Some will be under Allah's shade. Others will be in distress. What separates us there is not money — it's our deeds.So just because someone is in a five-star tent today doesn't mean they're in a five-star place on the Day of Judgment. And just because you're under the sun now doesn't mean you're far from Allah's shade then.Let that sink in.Now, the most recommended du‘ā today is what the Prophet ﷺ recited most on this day:لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌLā ilāha illa Allah, waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahu 'l-mulku wa lahu 'l-ḥamdu, wa huwa ‘alā kulli shay'in qadīr.For those of us not at Hajj this year — don't miss out.The righteous from the tābi‘īn would still honour this day. They would fast, and from ‘Asr to Maghrib, they would intensify their du‘ā. Let us do the same. Wherever we are, use these hours to reconnect with Allah. It's the best day of the year to ask.Lastly — why is it called ‘Arafah?It goes back to Prophet Ibrāhīm عليه السلام. On the 8th — the Day of Tarwiyah — he saw the dream of sacrificing his son. He spent the day reflecting: Is this really from Allah? What does it mean?On the 9th — the Day of ‘Arafah — he understood. He knew. ‘Arafa means “to know.” He approached his son, told him the vision, and both father and son submitted to Allah's will.So this day is about realisation. It's about recognising our purpose. Knowing who we are: servants of Allah.Today is the day we remember what we were created for. To obey. To serve. To return to Him — purified, humbled, and changed.May Allah accept the Hajj of all our hujjaj.And for those of us not there — may Allah write Hajj for us soon, and accept our deeds this ‘Arafah.Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.Thanks for reading BeQuranic!

Welcome back to Road to Hajj — a simplified walk-through of what the hujjaj do each day of the Hajj journey.Now is Maghrib of the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah.In the day, the hujjaj spent the most important day of the year — the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah — at ‘Arafah. From Dhuhr to Maghrib, they stood in du‘a during wuqūf, the core act of Hajj. It's the day when most du‘as are answered and the most people are forgiven in the whole year.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.From Dhuhr to ‘Asr, many hujjaj make du‘a in their tents, and then as the sun softens, they come out and continue under the open sky. As Maghrib arrives, the emotional energy intensifies — the tears, the hands raised, the hearts laid bare.After sunset, they begin making their way to Muzdalifah. This journey — part of the wājib acts of Hajj — is done slowly and calmly. The Prophet ﷺ walked this path, holding the reins of his camel, al-Qaswa, making sure it moved gently.When they reach Muzdalifah, there's no specific ritual beyond remembrance — dhikr, istighfār. Allah says in the Qur'an:ثُمَّ أَفِيضُوا مِنْ حَيْثُ أَفَاضَ النَّاسُ وَاسْتَغْفِرُوا اللَّهَ“Then depart from where the people depart and ask Allah for forgiveness…” [Al-Baqarah 2:199]So the hujjaj arrive, pray Maghrib and ‘Isha combined and shortened (Jam‘ wa Qaṣr), and then they rest. Not in tents or hotels — just on the bare earth, under the stars.It's what I call a five billion star experience.BeQuranic is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Sleeping under the sky in Muzdalifah is powerful. You look up and see constellations with no city lights to drown them out. It's humbling. It strips you of your comforts, your titles, your privilege. Everyone sleeps on the same ground. No one steps aside for you. If someone needs to walk past, they walk over you. It's raw. It's real. It's levelling.And it reminds you of Yawm al-Qiyāmah. When we rise from our graves, there will be no resumes, no status, no CVs — just us and our deeds.But there's something deeper about these stars. Allah swears by them in Surah al-Wāqi‘ah:فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَاقِعِ النُّجُومِ، وَإِنَّهُ لَقَسَمٌ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ، إِنَّهُ لَقُرْآنٌ كَرِيمٌ“But nay, I swear by the setting of the stars — and indeed, it is a great oath if you only knew — that this is indeed a noble Qur'an.” [Al-Waqi‘ah 56:75–77]Why does Allah link the stars to the Qur'an?Think about it. If you don't know anything about stars, they're just beautiful lights in the sky — awe-inspiring, but directionless. But if you study them, they become a map. The Southern Cross, Orion's Belt — suddenly, you know which way is north, south, east, west.Similarly, the Qur'an. If you just listen, it's beautiful — the rhythm, the words, the recitation. But if you dig deeper, if you study it, reflect on it, it becomes a guide.At first glance, it might feel like a beautiful mess — one moment you're reading about the muttaqīn, the next about the disbelievers, then suddenly it jumps to stories of Prophet Adam, Bani Isra'il, then to Ibrahim.It's not structured like a typical book. But when you peel back the layers, you start seeing the divine cohesion. The structure. The flow. And how each story, each verse, is placed exactly where it needs to be.So the stars and the Qur'an — both are majestic, both guide. But only if we take the time to look deeper.Muzdalifah is that reminder.It tells us: slow down. Strip away the noise. Reconnect with the basics. Sleep under the stars. Reflect. Ask yourself: Who am I without all the labels? What matters when I'm lying on this ground beneath the sky?That's the essence of Hajj — a return to humility. To truth. To submission.So that's Muzdalifah — not glamorous, but glorious.We'll rest here until Fajr. After that, we'll make our way to Mina for the next major part of Hajj — the Jamrah.InshaAllah, we'll talk about that tomorrow.Thanks for reading BeQuranic!

This month is focused on neuroscience and your neurodiverse marriage! This entire month, we have elements brought in from LifeModel Works, Deeper Walk Ministries & Thrive Trainings, and those who are ministry partner friends! Today is Amy H. Glazer.Our topic begins with Fear Bonds, and we took some questions that you, the listeners, had on this that include:How to reduce the intensity of fear bonds when in a relationship that has ongoing trauma or reminders of the fear bonds?   How do you process an emotion without amplifying it? When I hear "return to joy," it feels like "don't feel your feelings - just be happy", and I know that is not what you are saying, but what do I do with my feelings?  How do we identify fear bonds in our close relationships, which we are accustomed to that pattern?  Authenticity and connection- can you achieve that with someone you have had a fear bond with? Can a fear-bonded person really turn to a joy or love bond? That seems impossible after so many decades. About Amy from the Thrive Works Website:Amy is the Director of Development and Journey Groups Director for Alive & Well, author of the Journey Group curriculum, and Director of the Journey Group Leadership Community. She leads weekend and 5-day events for THRIVEtoday and has taught in the Advanced Counseling Ministry training at YWAM Kona, as well as the OneLife program at Southern Wesleyan University. With Alive & Well, Amy directs the Journey Group program and mentors students training as Immanuel Encounter Guides with Alive & Well's training program. Amy is a specialist in small group dynamics and creating online communities. Journey Groups is a relational discipleship small group program that guides members in practicing the relational skills taught at Thrive and develops the topics of belonging, maturity, heart values, true identity, God's perspective, Immanuel living, and healing, as found in the books Living from the Heart Jesus Gave You, Transforming Fellowship, Joyful Journey, and Relational Skills in the Bible, which Amy co-authored with Chris Coursey. Group's Amy Mentioned Found Here:https://www.alivewell.org/transformed-by-joy

In this edition of the Analog Explorer Podcast, I catch up with Rémi Martin, the showroom manager of Baltic's New York boutique, live from the Vancouver Timepiece Show.

Het is uitkijken geblazen met de Amerikaanse rente. De die loopt hard op, omdat de financiële markten niet veel zien in het Amerikaanse belastingplan. "Het verlies van 'Liberation Day' is ingelopen", zegt Koen Bender van Mercurius Vermogensbeheer. "Het positieve wat je erover kan zeggen is dat die oplopende rente Trump weer in het gareel kan duwen", aldus Koen. Ook Marc Langeveld van Econopolis hoopt dat de obligatiemarkt Trump bij zinnen zal brengen. "Maar het belastingplan zal het begrotingstekort sterk doen oplopen. Niet voor niets heeft Moody's de kredietstatus van Amerika verlaagd. De markt leeft tussen angst en vrees. Het kan zijn dat de wispelturigheid van Trump de economie en de bedrijfsresultaten in de tweede helft van het jaar echt zal raken." Over Aegon zijn beide experts ook niet echt te spreken. "Aegon verbrandt al 25 jaar geld", is het oordeel van Koen naar aanleiding van de kwartaalcijfers. Marc is het daarmee eens en zet zijn geld dan liever in op NN Group of ASR. Verder in de podcast aandacht voor Nvidia, Xiaomi, CATL en de cijfers van o.a. Home Depot en Baidu. Natuurlijk bespreken we de luisteraarsvragen en geven de experts hun tip. Marc houdt het deze keer bij een algemeen advies, Koen tipt een niet-Europese neo-bank. Geniet van de podcast! Let op: alleen het eerste deel is vrij te beluisteren.

Discussion: Dr. Stephanie Holmes and Dr. Sean Hirt discuss their clinical training and how neither was trained in neurodiversity despite the update in thinking about the Autism Spectrum (DSM-IV Asperger's). Dr. Holmes and Dr. Hirt discuss that applying neurotypical marriage models to Neurodiverse couples is not only not helpful but potentially harmful. Dr. Hirt discusses the role of the central nervous system and its impact on regulation and how typical marriage work may disrupt both partners. Have you heard from your pastor or Christian counselor- Marriage is Marriage, or Marriage is supposed to be hard. Or you tell your counselor you are a neurodiverse couple, or you attend an intensive, and they tell you that your neurodiversity doesn't matter- their model will work if you have enough faith?Let's Discuss That! About Our Guest: Dr. Hirt has an array of clinical experience in a variety of settings, including private practice, residential treatment centers, non-public schools, and emergency shelters. He is particularly sought out for his expertise in treating and addressing anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, behavioral issues, and autism spectrum disorder in children and adolescents. Other areas of focus include substance abuse, life-transition issues & trauma-related disorders.In therapy, Dr. Hirt uses empirically driven modalities to address the client's needs. He derives techniques from client-centered, cognitive-behavioral theory, attachment theory, as well as family systems. Dr. Hirt works closely with all clients to develop an integrative, yet client-centered approach to treatment. More specifically, Dr. Hirt works with individuals to assist in developing the abilities and resources needed to reach goals, overcome hardships, and improve life satisfaction. When not working, you will often find him at parks and trails with family and friends. Dr. Hirt enjoys hiking, biking, running, and rock climbing! He also enjoys watching sports and traveling. However, his favorite pastime of all is spending time with his wife, daughters, and dog (Frank).Looking for Assessment: https://www.hirtpsychology.com/sean-hirt

Real strength shows up when life knocks you down and you choose to rise with gratitude, faith, and community. Dr. Douglas Burton shares how a life-altering diagnosis transformed not just his health journey, but his entire perspective on what it means to truly live well. From the operating room to the other side of the patient experience, he opens his heart about the emotional weight of caregiving, the spiritual awakening that came through illness, and the small, intentional shifts that have brought him greater peace than ever before. His story is a powerful reminder that joy is not found in doing more—it's found in slowing down, showing up, and surrounding yourself with love. Key Takeaways: Slowing down and creating space for joy can be more healing than constant striving. Practicing daily gratitude builds emotional resilience and a deeper sense of peace. Community support is a critical part of mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Faith and surrender can bring clarity and calm when facing uncertainty or illness. True healing isn't just physical—it's also spiritual, relational, and deeply personal.   About Dr. Douglas Burton: Douglas Burton, M.D. is the Marc and Elinor Asher Spine Professor and Chair of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at the University of Kansas Medical Center. He received his undergraduate degree from Kansas State University in Manhattan, KS and his MD from the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, TX. He completed his residency at the University of Kansas Medical Center and completed spine fellowships at The Texas Back Institute in Plano, TX and at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA. In 2003 he was awarded the Marc and Elinor Asher Spine Professorship. Dr. Burton's clinical practice is focused on the diagnosis and treatment of complex spinal disorders in both pediatric and adult patients. In addition to his primary practice location at the University of Kansas Hospital, he also travels to both Hutchinson and Salina, KS for a monthly outreach clinic to provide health care to patients in rural parts of Kansas. He is a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the American Orthopaedic Association, the Interurban Orthopaedic Society, the North American Spine Society and the Scoliosis Research Society, where he is the incoming Chair-Elect of the Research Council and member of the Board of Directors. He served as President of the Federation of Spine Associations from 2018 to 2019. In 2019, The American Association of Neurological Surgeons and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons announced a new partnership, the American Spine Registry (ASR), which will be jointly owned and developed by both organizations. Dr. Burton currently serves as co-chair of the Data Use Committee for the ASR. His research interests include the development of disease specific health related quality of life instruments and the study of complications and outcomes associated with spinal deformity surgery. He has authored or co-authored over 236 peer reviewed publications and serves as a Deputy Editor of Spine Deformity, the official journal of the Scoliosis Research Society. In 2006 he helped found and remains on the Executive Council of the International Spine Study Group. This is a consortium of spinal deformity surgeons and researchers at over 15 top academic centers in the United States and Canada with collaborators in Europe and Japan. They have been performing prospective and retrospective studies on surgical and non-surgical Adult Spinal Deformity patients since their inception.   Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at: https://smallchangesbigshifts.com hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco   Thanks for listening!

Het is alweer bijna tijd om je klaar te maken voor de beursweek. Maar wij zijn je voor. Beleggers kunnen van zich laten horen op de jaarvergadering bij Shell en Amazon. En cijfers zijn er ook nog. Zoals die van Home Depot, of ASR. Maar Corné van Zeijl van Cardano heeft het zwaartepunt op de maandag, wanneer een stortvloed aan Chinese cijfers uitkomt. En die moeten uitwijzen hoe China er nu écht voor staat in die handelsoorlog met de Verenigde Staten. In Beurs in Zicht stomen we je klaar voor de beursweek die je tegemoet gaat. Want soms zie je door de beursbomen het beursbos niet meer. Dat is verleden tijd!

Mark Zuckerberg zal geen fijne dag hebben. Die wordt namelijk ingehaald door zijn grote concurrent, TikTok. Moederbedrijf Bytedance ziet de omzet met 20 procent stijgen, ondanks de pogingen van de VS om TikTok op zwart te zetten. Daardoor zou Bytedance eind dit jaar even groot zijn als Zuckerberg's Meta. Christine Lagarde schreef al drie keer geschiedenis: als eerste vrouwelijke financiënminister in Frankrijk, als eerste vrouw die het IMF leidde, en als eerste vrouwelijke baas van de Europese Centrale Bank. Maar daar kan een vierde bladzijde bijkomen. Volgens Bloomberg maakt ze namelijk ook goede kans op het stoeltje van Klaus Schwab bij het World Economic Forum. Gaat ze daarvoor vervroegd vertrekken bij de ECB? Verder gaat het over Novo Nordisk. Beleggers zijn in de war, want de topman vertrekt opeens. Vermoedelijke reden: de farmaceut verliest de competitie om afvalmedicatie van concurrent Eli Lilly. En dat raakt de prijs van het aandeel te hard. Maar de vraag blijft of het wegsturen van de ceo dat gaat oplossen. Je hoort ook wat er aan de hand is bij Coinbase. Het cryptoplatform krijgt twee klappen te verwerken. Iemand perst ze af, maar de toezichthouder denkt ook dat Coinbase zelf beleggers uitperst. En we blikken terug op de week van Donald Trump. Zijn regering sloot plotseling een tijdelijke deal met China. En zelf zat hij ook niet stil, want hij wist honderden miljarden dollars los te peuteren in het Midden Oosten.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

De vandaag gepresenteerde kwartaalcijfers laten volgens macro-econoom Arnoud Boot duidelijk zien dat de verzekeraar definitief afscheid heeft genomen van Nederland als bedrijfsmatig vaderland. Desondanks is de toezichthouder in Nederland volgens Boot moreel verplicht om het bedrijf in de gaten te houden, aangezien Aegon nog steeds grootaandeelhouder is van verzekeraar ASR. Sinds wanneer hebben bedrijfscijfers met macro-economie te maken? Dat draait om de tegenstelling tussen de financiële en de reële economie, omdat bedrijfscijfers laten zien waar en hoe in de wereld geld wordt verdiend. Banken en verzekeraars, zoals Aegon, vestigen zich altijd op plekken waar ze kunnen meeliften op het geld dat – spreekwoordelijk – voorbij stroomt. De cijfers van Aegon richten zich nu vooral op de World Financial Group, een Amerikaans dochterbedrijf van Aegon. Daar werken op dit moment 88.000 verkoopagenten die op provisiebasis zoveel mogelijk polissen moeten verkopen. Het gaat om levensverzekeringen – wij zouden ze woekerpolissen noemen – waarbij er meer geld in de zakken van de verkoper verdwijnt dan dat de consument eraan heeft. Maar dat doen ze in de VS, en niet meer hier. Ze zijn bewust naar Amerika gegaan – een land zonder echte consumentenbescherming. Inmiddels lopen er talloze rechtszaken tegen de World Financial Group. Ze zoeken bewust de grenzen op: dat ís hun strategie. Ze richten zich op markten waar ze hun producten gemakkelijk kwijt kunnen, en daar zit een enorm verdienmodel achter. Datzelfde gebeurt in Brazilië. We hebben het hier over levensverzekeringen en pensioenproducten die worden verkocht aan de onderkant van de Amerikaanse middenklasse. En ik vind het belangrijk om die voortdurende frictie tussen de financiële economie en de reële economie te blijven benoemen. Als we in Nederland constateren dat een bank qua winst achterblijft bij een andere bank, dan moet je je afvragen waar dat door komt. Daar kun je moreel wat van vinden, maar kan je er iets tegen doen? Aegon, met het juridische hoofdkantoor in Bermuda, heeft zijn Nederlandse activiteiten verkocht aan ASR, een gerespecteerde Nederlandse verzekeraar. Aegon bezit 29,99 procent van de aandelen van ASR en is daarmee de grootste aandeelhouder. Als Nederlandse toezichthouder moet je ASR de vraag stellen welke invloed die grootste aandeelhouder op het beleid uitoefent. Wordt ASR door Aegon gedwongen om bochten af te snijden? Wordt de horizon van het bedrijf verkort? Het verrotte, huidige verdienmodel van Aegon staat immers haaks op de Nederlandse wetgeving. En ik vind dat je een Nederlands bedrijf daar wél op moet kunnen aanspreken.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome back to Just the Guys, where a handful of neurodiverse men get real about growth, relationships, and life post-diagnosis — all without a script, but with a ton of heart.In this reflective and candid episode, the guys dive into the evolution of their emotional intelligence and how their journeys have led to stronger relationships, especially with their partners and kids. The catalyst? A missed celebrity interview and a realization: if flying fish exist, maybe change and empathy aren't so impossible after all.We follow Jeremy, Greg, and Dan as they discuss what transformation looks like in real life. Jeremy opens up about becoming a more proactive and thoughtful parent and husband, learning to share the mental load and prioritize emotional presence. Greg brings in stories from marriage and retirement, revealing how putting “relationship before task” has become his new mantra. Dan brings it full circle with powerful insights on values, intentionality, and what love looks like, choosing family over hockey — literally.Throughout the conversation, themes of vulnerability, emotional attunement, and the gradual embrace of empathy surface repeatedly. They compare personal growth to planting seeds — change doesn't happen overnight, but with daily intention and care, real transformation takes root.Key takeaways:• Empathy isn't just possible for neurodiverse men — it's learnable and life-changing.• Change starts with being open to a different version of yourself.• Small, intentional choices create the foundation for a lasting connection.• Relationships thrive not when we're perfect, but when we show up — emotionally and consistently.This episode is equal parts heart, humor, and hope. So, whether you're neurodivergent yourself or walking alongside someone who is, you'll leave with a little more faith that growth is not only possible — it's inevitable, if you're willing to show up and keep planting seeds.

For the second week straight we welcomed a South Carolina native to the show named VooDoo Child! As a producer and DJ with years of experience we enjoyed chopping it up with him about his love for the craft. He broke down the learning curve of his evolving production process having moved from older tools such as the ASR-10 to more modern software like Serato Sampler where he's caught a new energy in his output and productivity. This has allowed him to not only work on his own solo releases but also craft new music with the likes of his close collaborator K.H.A.O.$ whom he has an album with that should be out very soon. On the DJing side VooDoo Child shared the love he has for being able to create a truly meaningful and memorable experience for the clients who hire him for events. You could really tell how much it means to him to be able to bring joy to people through his love for many genres of music and we think that says a lot about the integrity he has for what he does. Thanks to him for joining us and for the hard work he's continuing to push himself to new heights at each step of his journey!Submit a demo track(s) for release consideration with Proven Knowledge! - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1l_h_XayHVqWIJHgTYyV5vGgThfRVEiBh8lw9SP8DrQw/viewform?edit_requested=trueConsider becoming a monthly supporter of the show by visiting the link here

What does it mean to be naked and unashamed? Did your mind first go to sex? That is part of it in a literal sense, but being 'naked and ashamed' also means being vulnerable with each other and not afraid. By the time couples find out about their neurodiversity, there are toxic patterns, and friendship is lost because everyone is focused on their own needs and what is missing. I often wonder if couples even like each other anymore or just on the this religious quest for the marriage some pastor or book promised missing the point- at one point Adam & Eve were naked and unashamed- connected to God, their true identity and each other in a vulnerable way before the fall/sin. We believe a couple's quest is to achieve as much as they can in a fallen world, being "naked and unashamed," and to be unafraid in their marriage relationship, moving from a scarcity mindset or fixed mindset to a growth and attachment mindset.

It is Autism Acceptance and Action Month, and we have Dave Glick as our guest neurodivergent coach and clinician.Today, Dr. Stephanie and Barbara ask David a few questions about behaviors.We ask:Can you differentiate freeze and fawning?What are your thoughts on pervasive demand avoidance?What behaviors can actually change?Can those on the spectrum learn regulation and relational skills? About our Guest & Colleague:Dave writes on his website: https://triadpsych.org/therapists/david-glick/My specialties are quite extensive and diverse, as I have two degrees, one in Education and the other in Social Work. I was originally trained in behaviorism and usually merge behavior therapies with personality trait theories. This approach, while demanding, usually produces very positive results for my clients. My practice is a safe place where people can share and be open. Once trust is established, it becomes a virtual Swiss army knife, in that the therapy is adaptable and useful regardless of the situation. Essentially, I want my clients to be empowered with a new sense of self and confident in their abilities.

In this lively conversation, the “Just the Guys” team explores how crucial context can be—whether you're deciphering a strange image, navigating a complex relationship, or fielding unexpected life events. They kick things off by sharing news of the new book *Uniquely Us* and then dive into fascinating parallels between fooling AI systems with “adversarial examples” and how our assumptions can mislead us in everyday life. By using an analogy of seeing a “penguin in the desert” (something bizarre or out of place), they illustrate how missing details can trigger confusion, misunderstandings, or emotional reactions.Throughout the discussion, they highlight the importance of curiosity and humility to uncover the “why” behind surprising information—much like slowing down to determine if that shape in the dark is an intruder or just a coat on a chair. They also introduce practical techniques (like the C.A.L.M. method) to help us pause, gather context, and respond gracefully rather than reacting rashly. It's an honest, lighthearted look at how we can avoid “kicking the penguin” in our personal and professional relationships by learning to seek more information, accept when we've made mistakes, and ultimately prioritize connection over “being right.”Mentioned in This Episode:- Uniquely Us, a new release about neurodiverse Christian marriages- Adversarial examples in AI and what they reveal about our own blind spots- The C.A.L.M. method (Connect, Assess, Lean in, Move forward) for managing emotional triggers- Why “winning the relationship” matters more than winning any single argumentHave a topic you'd like the guys to unpack? Drop them a note via the show's website—feedback and questions are always welcome!
