What if the best advice for training AI agents is actually the missing piece in how you manage your team? Khalil breaks down the "How to Hire an AI" playbook and reveals how its five core elements: persistence, identity, tools, autonomy, and accountability, are the exact framework contractors need to transform their employee management. This episode isn't about technology; it's about finally giving your team the clarity, tools, and trust they need to take work off your plate.What You'll LearnThe five elements every AI agent needs (and why your employees need them too)How to create a "trust ladder" that gives employees autonomy without micromanagingWhy closing loops proactively is the difference between good employees and great onesThe three-layer memory system that makes knowledge stick in your companyHow to set up team rhythms that actually get followed when stress hitsTime Stamps00:47 - Episode Intro02:56 - The Five Key Elements of Training AI and Employees07:31 - Implementing AI and Employee Management Strategies18:54 - Understanding Autonomy and Trust in AI19:38 - Effective Communication and Loop Management23:05 - Establishing Rhythms and Leveraging AISnippets from the Episode"Employees want to be autonomous in their role.

In episode 240, Coffey talks with Yoram Solomon about motivating disengaged employees by building trust, increasing autonomy, and aligning intrinsic motivation with meaningful work.  They discuss quiet quitting and job hugging trends in uncertain economic times; intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation using the car engine analogy; why pay and bonuses fail as long-term engagement strategies; the critical link between trust, autonomy, and employee engagement; why trustworthiness matters more than intelligence or effort; how micromanagement destroys creativity and productivity; designing roles that fit personality and tolerance for repetitive work; diagnosing turnover caused by boring or monotonous jobs; involving employees in organizational change initiatives; rebuilding lost trust through accountability and ownership; and why leadership should be treated as a profession rather than a promotion.  For HR teams who discuss this podcast in their team meetings, we've created a discussion starter PDF to help guide your conversation.

Grayson Brulte went on location to Miami to inspect Waymo's infrastructure buildout across the city, uncovering two depots that reveal the company's ambitious plans to scale to thousands of vehicles in South Florida.The first depot, located adjacent to Miami International Airport, has not yet broken ground but sits on a large parcel with significant room for expansion. A service road connects the site directly to the airport, without the need to use the highway, positioning Waymo for a seamless airport-to-destination corridor that could be operational within 12 to 18 months.The second depot, already operational in the Wynwood area near the Design District, is running what we estimate to be 20-plus vehicles with roughly 30-plus chargers situated next to a Florida Power & Light substation. The facility currently operates out of PODS with no covered garage, but vacant parcels on both sides and an adjacent warehouse present a clear path to scale. While we were there on the ground, FPL was on-site micro trenching, a potential signal that additional electrical capacity is being routed to the depot.Looking ahead, Waymo's ability to service a thousand vehicles between these two depots appears well within reach. The next frontier is the beaches, Surfside, North Beach, South Beach, where a third depot will likely be necessary to navigate Miami's notoriously heavy traffic. With Hard Rock Stadium hosting Dolphins games, F1, and the Super Bowl returning to Miami, the demand signal for robotaxis in this market is unmistakable.Episode Chapters0:00 Waymo's "Rat Pack" Ambitions in Miami1:00 The Airport Depot: Bypassing the Highway2:00 The Wynwood Depot: 35 Chargers & A Substation3:00 Miami Depots Compared to the Santa Monica Depot4:00 From PODS to Warehouses: The Expansion Plan5:00 The FPL Signal: Micro-Trenching 6:00 Expanding Depots to Surfside & South Beach7:00 The Super Bowl & Hard Rock Stadium Demand8:00 The Future Is Bright.

Stuart Young, Program Manager, Tactical Technology Office, DARPA joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss DARPA's RACER (Robotic Autonomy in Complex Environments with Resiliency) Program and the development of high-speed autonomous vehicles capable of navigating unstructured off-road terrain without maps or GPS.The operational backbone of this program is a departure from the breadcrumb approach of the Grand Challenge, challenging robots to navigate complex, unstructured environments at speeds faster than manned formations. By removing the dependency on pre-existing maps and GPS, DARPA is forcing the autonomous systems to generalize across environments.In the field, RACER has rigorously tested platforms ranging from modified Polaris RZRs to Textron M5 tracked vehicles across diverse landscapes, including the Mojave Desert, Camp Roberts, and Fort Hood. This ecosystem has not only spurred the creation of companies such as Overland AI and Field AI but also demonstrated tactical relevance, as seen when the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment utilized RACER technology as an opposition force at the National Training Center.Looking ahead, Stuart envisions a future where autonomy shifts from simple movement to strategic maneuver, enabling a single operator to command platoons of vehicles. This evolution aims to fundamentally change the risk calculus for soldiers while opening new opportunities for dual-use applications in mining, agriculture and search and rescue.Episode Chapters0:00 The History of Autonomy at DARPA: From the Grand Challenge to Today6:54 How RACER Differs from The Grand Challenge11:59 Operating Without Maps or GPS14:00 Managing Heat, Acoustic, and Visual Signatures in Autonomy19:43 Testing in the Mojave, Central California, and Texas25:11 Building the RACER Brain and Spawning New Companies (Overland AI, Field AI)27:12 The Rules of RACER: Speed Metrics and “No Maps” Constraints33:36 The Hardware: Modifying Polaris RZRs and Textron M5 Tanks37:37 Requirements vs. Possibilities40:01 Field Testing with the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment at the National Training Center44:43 Deploying RACER in the Field46:12 The Legacy of RACER: Dual-Use Applications and Saving Lives--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

What does it take to grow a team from just two people to over 120 across 17 locations? According to Brian McQuilkin, it isn't just about technical skill—it's about curiosity, self-awareness, and a "servant-first" mindset.In this episode of the Will Power Project, Brian breaks down his roadmap for building high-performing teams. Whether you are a new hire looking to stand out or a leader trying to scale your culture, Brian's "Grandma's Soup" analogy for business processes and his deep dive into personality testing offers a blueprint for long-term success.Key TakeawaysThe Curiosity Quotient (CQ): Why asking "How would you start this?" is the most powerful question a new team member can ask.Servant Leadership is Redundant: Brian explains why you can't truly lead without serving others first.The Personality Toolkit: How using tests like the Enneagram, Myers-Briggs, and Working Genius prevents "passive-aggressive" office cultures.Avoiding Burnout through AMP: The three pillars of Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose that keep team members engaged and fulfilled.Writing the "Recipe": Why documenting your core values is essential to ensuring your culture doesn't get "diluted" as you grow.Love the insights from our latest episode?

What does a healthy relationship actually feel like? In this guest episode, Myrrhanda Novak shares a grounded, honest reflection on the emotional experience of being in a secure, supportive marriage and why safety, not chaos, is the foundation of real intimacy.This episode covers:Why you do not need to be needed to be lovedThe research behind “turning toward” bids for connectionHow autonomy strengthens commitment rather than threatens itWhat it really means to feel heard in a partnershipEmotional safety and why your nervous system knows the differenceWhy repair and accountability are essential for long-term connectionHow patriarchal narratives can quietly lower women's expectationsHealthy love is not about perfection. It is about two whole adults choosing each other, taking responsibility for themselves, and building an emotional space that feels steady, respectful, and safe. This conversation invites you to reflect on the energy inside your own relationships and what you truly deserve.Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/womendontdothatInstagram - http://www.instagram.com/womendontdothat/TikTok- http://www.tiktok.com/@womendontdothatBlog- https://www.womendontdothat.com/blogPodcast- https://www.womendontdothat.com/podcastNewsletter- https://www.beaconnorthstrategies.com/contactwww.womendontdothat.comYouTube - http://www.youtube.com/@WOMENdontDOthatHow to find Stephanie Mitton:Twitter/X- https://twitter.com/StephanieMittonLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniemitton/beaconnorthstrategies.comTikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@stephmittonInstagram- https://www.instagram.com/stephaniemitton/Interested in sponsorship?

The conversation also delves into the concept of value capture, the influence of technology on perception, and the need for qualitative assessments in education. They conclude by reflecting on the importance of process over product and the future of education in relation to play.TakeawaysMud everywhere!The weather can be deceiving.Books can deeply engage us.Play has philosophical implications.Striving players focus on the process.Constraints can enhance creativity.Value capture influences our perceptions.Metrics can simplify complex ideas.Education often prioritizes quantifiable data.The process of play is more important than the outcome.TitlesExploring the Mud: Weather and PlayThe Philosophy of Play and Learning sound bites"There's mud everywhere!""This book is amazing!""The process is beautiful!"Chapters00:00 The Muddy Reality of Weather08:16 Exploring the Depths of Play and Philosophy11:08 Understanding Player Mindsets: Achievement vs. Striving14:22 Facilitating Play: Agency and Autonomy in Games17:24 The Role of Games in Social Dynamics20:15 Process Beauty in Games: The Art of Overcoming Obstacles23:06 The Purpose vs. Goal in Play: Social Connection Over Competition37:08 The Sensual Act of Information Management40:21 Nature Connection and Purpose43:35 Metrics, Value Capture, and Scoring Systems50:16 The Influence of Technology on Perception56:47 The Four Horsemen of Value Capture01:05:55 The Balance of Quantitative and Qualitative Metrics01:10:41 Exploring Pedagogies and Their Metrics

Welcome back to another episode of Upside where Dan Bowyer, Mads Jensen of SuperSeed and Lomax Ward of Outsized Ventures go behind the headlines shaping European tech, capital, and power.This week is an AI-heavy sprint with a guest who's right in the Gulf capital flow: Sam Marchant. Anthropic's monster round is the headline, but the more interesting story is underneath: enterprise AI is becoming workflow-sticky, while OpenAI feels like it's drifting toward consumer monetization experiments.Then we get into the “AI productivity” paradox: why generative tools aren't giving us leisure, they're giving us more output… and more work. From there: Alphabet's 100-year bond and what it says about tech becoming a utility, plus the uncomfortable European angle — our savings funding US hyperscalers while we debate sovereignty.Finally, Europe sovereignty vibes: Mistral's enterprise ramp, the 28th regime rhetoric, and whether political systems can actually execute. We close with space: Orbex collapsing, “data centers in orbit,” and why maybe civilization needs billionaires burning capital on high-variance cathedral projects.This is Upside, where optimism is earned, not assumed.ShareWhat's covered:00:21 Anthropic's $30B: why the market can't stop throwing money at enterprise AI03:42 The real shift: OpenAI → consumer/ads vibes, Anthropic → coding + enterprise execution04:50 Gulf capital dynamics: OpenAI relationships vs QIA showing up in Anthropic07:21 Claude vs ChatGPT: switching costs are collapsing… until workflows become the moat10:54 HBR's “AI intensifies work”: why productivity becomes pressure, not leisure12:19 Autonomy + mastery + dopamine: AI as the ultimate short feedback-loop machine13:25 Practical use cases: research across languages, idea stress-testing, “AI as a first hire”22:05 Alphabet's 100-year bond: tech is now priced like infrastructure24:51 The pension problem: Europe's savings financing US scale while Europe underfunds Europe32:44 Europe's GDP gap is a tech gap: productivity isn't the issue, tech scale is39:51 Mistral's enterprise ramp: sovereign AI or local services + transformation advantage?45:37 The 28th regime: big words, hard execution — can Europe actually push reform through?50:32 Space data centres: PR-on-steroids or physics-defying inevitability?53:07 Orbex collapses: why “mid-sized countries” can't win launch alone55:20 Fusion/quantum: Europe's deep R&D edge, blocked by capital markets structure56:25 Deal of the week: Olex's $1B+ moment and Europe's chip-shaped ambition

This Monday News Drop covers three developments that should be squarely on every healthcare HR leader's radar.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss whether Waymo has finally solved the supply constraint question following reports of a deal for 50,000 Hyundai vehicles by 2028. They break down the economics, theorizing a $50,000 per-vehicle cost that likely includes line-fit sensors, a price point that Grayson argues destroys the bear case that autonomous vehicles cannot cost-effectively scale.The conversation then shifts to hardware as Walt puts on his inspector hat, spotting a hidden Class 8 truck graphic in Waymo's latest blog post. This revelation sparks a debate on if Waymo is planning a return to trucking in 2027 to coincide with the new Daimler Truck's new Freightliner Cascadia redundant chassis platform. They also analyze Waymo's 6th Generation Driver, noting the emphasis on custom silicon and aggressive camera cleaning systems seems to mimic Tesla's approach.On the Foreign Autonomy Desk, they discuss Lyft's plan to launch Baidu RT6 robotaxis in London and Uber's deployment of Chinese robotaxis in Dubai. While Uber touts its partners, Grayson provides ground truth on the Chinese market, arguing that strict geofences and residency restrictions mean the technology is not as far ahead as Western media portrays.Looking at the broader ecosystem, Grayson and Walt analyze Aurora's pivot to upfitting International trucks, a strategy shift that mirrors competitor Kodiak, along with Kodiak's new defense partnership with the United States Marine Corps.Closing out the show, they discuss the current regulatory environment for autonomous vehicles and NHTSA's Automated Vehicle Safety Public Meeting upcoming in March and Waymo calling for D.C. residents to advocate for autonomous vehicles.Episode Chapters0:00 Waymo's Reported 50,000 Robotaxi Hyundai Deal03:26 The $50,000 Robotaxi Economics06:20 Zeekr & Waymo/Magna Mesa Upfitting Plant10:11 Scaling to 750,000 Autonomous Vehicles17:09 Waymo Gen 6: Custom Silicon & Improved Cameras23:21 Uber's Narrative vs. Waymo's Reality28:09 Lyft's Flexdrive Advantage31:52 Inspector Walt: Waymo's Autonomous Truck Tease33:41 Aurora's Pivot & Kodiak's Marine Corps Deal41:39 Foreign Autonomy Desk: Lyft in London & Uber in Dubai45:09 The Regulatory Tide Turns48:38 Hyundai: The Arms Dealer of AutonomyRecorded on Friday, February 13, 2026--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the definitive media brand covering the Autonomy Economy™.

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – Artificial intelligence is moving faster than the law can respond. As machines gain autonomy, questions of accountability, rights, and human dignity come into focus. Without clear constitutional guardrails, society risks surrendering responsibility to black-box systems that could reshape jobs, justice, and liberty for generations...

In this episode Clinical Psychologist Dr. Alex Klein and I discuss ten common misconceptions about Pathological Demand Avoidance or Pervasive Drive for Autonomy.Here are five from Dr. Klein:The parent of a PDAer is doing something wrong, especially if they've lowered demands.If a PDA child did something yesterday, they can do it again today.Accommodations won't prepare PDA kids for the real world.Progress made by a PDA child is measured by what we see on the surface.Behaviorism (behavioral parenting) will be enough.And here are five from me, in strong collaboration with my PDA 11- and 7-year-olds:PDA kids are bad kids.How much freedom PDA kids need.It's not behavioral, it's stress.Why and when they can hide nervous system stress.Potatoes are green and they smell like poop :)I hope the episode is helpful to you!xo,CaseyPS - New to PDA?

Valentine's Day can stir up all kinds of longing, worry, and relational anxiety — especially if you love deeply and notice closeness and distance acutely. In this episode of Love Each Other Better, I dive into Marshall Rosenberg's famous metaphor: "I want to be flowers on your table, not oxygen for your lungs." I break down what this means through the compassionate lenses of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and attachment theory, including: The difference between universal human needs (like connection) and the particular ways we meet them in a relationship How anxious attachment patterns show up, and how I suggest caring for your inner child without making your partner responsible for your emotional survival What "flower-love" looks like in practice: freely chosen, generous, and joyful You'll come away with practical insights for nurturing secure, adult love — honoring both your need for connection and your partner's autonomy. ✨ Learn how to love each other better, without shame, pressure, obligation, or resentment.

Autonomy (independence) matters in every area of our lives, personal, civic, and business. Autonomy is also an absolutely crucial ingredient for Christ's church. In this episode Pastor Jack and Pastor Jonathan discuss the Baptist Distinctive of the Autonomy of the Local Church. It's Biblical basis, the history of autonomy, and why it should matter to individual Christians.

“Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” Judges 21:25 The book of Judges stands at another hinge in Israel's history, but it is a hinge that swings the other way. Joshua ends with rest, conquest, and covenant clarity. Judges begins with unfinished obedience and a slow unraveling. The generation that knew the Lord fades, and the land that was given becomes the stage for a hard lesson: when God's people forget God, they do not become neutral. They drift. They bend. They break. Judges shows what life looks like when the covenant is treated as optional and the Lord is reduced to a name invoked in emergencies. Yet Judges is not merely a record of failure. It is also a revelation of mercy. Again and again Israel falls into idolatry, and again and again the Lord raises up deliverers. The pattern is relentless: sin, oppression, cry, rescue, rest. Each cycle exposes the same truth. Israel's deepest problem is not military weakness or political instability. It is spiritual adultery. The idols of the nations are rival lords. To serve them is to invite bondage, because false gods always demand what they cannot give, and they always enslave what they promise to satisfy. The judges are not kings, and they are not saviors in the ultimate sense. They are instruments, imperfect and sometimes fractured. Judges does not flatter humanity, even when God uses human hands. It presses a hard doctrine into the conscience: the Lord can rescue through weakness, but weakness does not become strength by pretending it is light. Deliverance is often real, but it is never final, because the enemy within returns. This is why the book feels like a downward spiral. What begins as incomplete conquest becomes compromised worship. Compromised worship becomes moral collapse. The end is almost unbearable. And hovering over each episode is the same silent question: Where is the king? Not merely a political ruler, but a true King who can deal not only with enemies and borders, but with the heart. When everyone becomes his own law, freedom becomes fragmentation, and autonomy becomes ruin. Autonomy is self-law. What is missing is God's law, God's Word in the life of the nation. Yet the greatest wonder of Judges is that the Lord does not abandon His people. He disciplines, but He hears. He allows them to taste the fruit of rebellion, yet He responds to their cry. Even in repeated failure, the Lord is preparing the reader for a deeper deliverance than any judge could provide. The Lord devises means to return the exiled to Himself: His Word. Judges ends: “Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” This was Israel's danger, but it is every generation's temptation. May this reading drive us away from self-rule and toward the Lord who alone is righteous, who alone saves, and who alone can give His people true rest through His Word, written and incarnate.

Autonomous vehicle technology has moved past human-coded rules and into an era of neural networks and custom computer chips. And to solve the most difficult driving scenarios, electric vehicle company Rivian abandoned its original technology platform to build a vertically integrated data stack. Sarah Guo sits down with Rivian Founder and CEO RJ Scaringe to explore the seismic shift in the automotive industry toward AI-driven, software-defined vehicles . RJ discusses the move away from function or domain-based architecture for vehicle electronic systems to software-defined architecture, which allows for dynamic, monthly updates to features in Rivian's vehicles. RJ also talks about the upcoming launch of Rivian's R2 model, which aims to be a distinct, affordable, mass-market alternative to the Tesla Model Y. Plus, RJ shares his vision for a future where vehicles don't just drive us, but inspire personal freedom and exploration. Sign up for new podcasts every week.

⚠️ Content Warning: Discussions of parental resentment, mental health crises, and implied threats of violence.In this episode, Erika and Kristen dive a viral Reddit post from an Australian father overwhelmed by parenting two ADHD children with an ADHD spouse. What starts as complaints about mess, noise, and burnout spirals into resentment, misogyny, and an alarming confession.As two hosts with ADHD, we unpack the realities of living with ADHD and why so many parents seem shocked by… having to parent??? Along the way, we discuss weaponized incompetence, emotional labor, mental health stigma, ADHD medication debates, and why therapy is not optional when resentment turns dangerous.Learn more about Dinky: https://www.dinkypod.com Support the show on Patreon for bonus content: https://patreon.com/dinkypodAnd until next time…Don't get pregnant.

Send a textAutonomy sounds like progress until the system turns your choices against you. We dive into how AI agents change the risk equation, why “don't trust, verify” now beats “trust but verify,” and what to do when the update button itself becomes the attack vector.We start with the Ivy League leak tied to Harvard and UPenn, where attackers exposed admissions hold notes that map influence rather than credit cards. That context turns routine records into leverage for extortion, social pressure, and geopolitical targeting. From there, we trace the surge of agentic AI in the workplace as employees paste code, legal docs, and sensitive files into chat interfaces. The real accelerant is MCP, the model context protocol that standardizes connections across Google Drive, Slack, databases, and more. Like USB for AI, MCP makes integration simple and powerful, but a single prompt injection can pivot across everything the agent can reach.Security gets messier with supply chain compromise. A China‑nexus campaign allegedly hijacked the Notepad++ update mechanism, handing a bespoke backdoor to developers who did the right thing. We unpack how to keep patching while reducing risk: signed updates, independent checksum checks, tight egress policies for updaters, and strong monitoring around update flows. On the policy front, Rhode Island's vendor transparency rule forces companies to name who buys data. It is a nutrition label for privacy, and it lets users and watchdogs finally connect the dots between friendly interfaces and aggressive brokers.We close with concrete defenses that raise the floor. Move high‑value accounts to FIDO2 hardware keys or platform passkeys to block phishing at the protocol level. Scope agent permissions narrowly, isolate MCP connectors by function, and require explicit approvals for sensitive actions. Log everything an agent touches and review those trails. Autonomy should be earned, minimal, and observable. If AI is going to act on your behalf, it must prove itself at every step.If this conversation helps you think differently about agents, influence mapping, and how to lock down your stack, subscribe, share with a teammate, and leave a quick review telling us the one control you plan to implement this week.Support the show

Working as an ER tech, COO, and corporate VP, he saw firsthand how opaque markups, slow credentialing, and rigid contracts hurt both hospitals and physicians, and why it made sense to rebuild the process from the ground up. He describes how that experience led him to launch SendIt, a platform that lets physicians contract directly with hospitals, set their own hourly rates, control their availability, and treat clinical work more like flexible fractional gigs. Along the way, he demystifies how hospital finances really work, how administrators think about coverage and service lines, and what doctors should understand before negotiating, signing up for locums work, or relying on staffing agencies You'll find links mentioned in the episode at nonclinicalphysicians.com/restore-physician-autonomy/

Self-determination throughout your team: it sounds simple, but implementing it effectively could give your startup a razor-sharp competitive edge.In this episode, Chris and Yaniv unpack the 'Recursive Principle of Self-Determination', a framework for designing autonomous startups that maximize agency at every layer of the business. They explore how high-agency decisions shape product strategy, engineering, go-to-market, fundraising, teams, and culture, and why AI is accelerating the shift toward founder empowerment. In this episode, you will:* Understand the concept of recursive self-determination and why it applies across the entire startup stack* Identify low-agency decisions that slow innovation (agencies, misaligned partners, restrictive funding)* Design products that increase customer empowerment by reducing friction, cost, and dependency* Evaluate tech stack and vendor choices based on incentive alignment and long-term control* Apply high-agency go-to-market strategies by selling directly to customers* Structure teams as cross-functional, autonomous squads that move fast and learn faster* Leverage AI as a force multiplier for founder and team agencyThe Pact Honor the Startup Podcast Pact!

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron engage in a deep theological discussion on late stage individualism, a term popularized by Ezra Klein, and examine why radical individualism is failing in modern Western culture. Speaking from a Christian worldview, they explore rising loneliness, loss of meaning, and social fragmentation through the lens of Scripture, church history, and contemporary cultural analysis. Nathan and Cameron argue that the biblical vision of community offers a compelling alternative, presenting the church as a village designed to form identity, cultivate responsibility, and restore purpose. Drawing on philosophy, current events, and lived experience, this conversation challenges Christians to rethink freedom, sacrifice, and belonging in an age of isolation, and to consider how faithful Christian community can respond to the cultural moment with hope and depth.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

“Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” Judges 21:25 The book of Judges stands at another hinge in Israel's history, but it is a hinge that swings the other way. Joshua ends with rest, conquest, and covenant clarity. Judges begins with unfinished obedience and a slow unraveling. The generation that knew the Lord fades, and the land that was given becomes the stage for a hard lesson: when God's people forget God, they do not become neutral. They drift. They bend. They break. Judges shows what life looks like when the covenant is treated as optional and the Lord is reduced to a name invoked in emergencies. Yet Judges is not merely a record of failure. It is also a revelation of mercy. Again and again Israel falls into idolatry, and again and again the Lord raises up deliverers. The pattern is relentless: sin, oppression, cry, rescue, rest. Each cycle exposes the same truth. Israel's deepest problem is not military weakness or political instability. It is spiritual adultery. The idols of the nations are rival lords. To serve them is to invite bondage, because false gods always demand what they cannot give, and they always enslave what they promise to satisfy. The judges are not kings, and they are not saviors in the ultimate sense. They are instruments, imperfect and sometimes fractured. Judges does not flatter humanity, even when God uses human hands. It presses a hard doctrine into the conscience: the Lord can rescue through weakness, but weakness does not become strength by pretending it is light. Deliverance is often real, but it is never final, because the enemy within returns. This is why the book feels like a downward spiral. What begins as incomplete conquest becomes compromised worship. Compromised worship becomes moral collapse. The end is almost unbearable. And hovering over each episode is the same silent question: Where is the king? Not merely a political ruler, but a true King who can deal not only with enemies and borders, but with the heart. When everyone becomes his own law, freedom becomes fragmentation, and autonomy becomes ruin. Autonomy is self-law. What is missing is God's law, God's Word in the life of the nation. Yet the greatest wonder of Judges is that the Lord does not abandon His people. He disciplines, but He hears. He allows them to taste the fruit of rebellion, yet He responds to their cry. Even in repeated failure, the Lord is preparing the reader for a deeper deliverance than any judge could provide. The Lord devises means to return the exiled to Himself: His Word. Judges ends: “Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” This was Israel's danger, but it is every generation's temptation. May this reading drive us away from self-rule and toward the Lord who alone is righteous, who alone saves, and who alone can give His people true rest through His Word, written and incarnate.

Send in your music story!A blizzard outside, a firestorm in music. We start with the easy stuff—laughs, life updates, and a nostalgia trip through 2000s anthems—then dive straight into the friction points shaping live music right now: dynamic ticket pricing, runaway fees, and why mid-level artists can't afford to tour while mega-acts sell out arenas. It's Grammys week, but the real story sits underneath the trophies.We unpack a headline-heavy slate: tours from Queens of the Stone Age and Zayn Malik, a tragic breaking loss in the community, and a ceremony that crowned Bad Bunny and Kendrick Lamar while Post Malone led a surging Ozzie tribute with Slash, Chad Smith, Duff McKagan, and Andrew Watt. On the red carpet, the tone trended surprisingly classic—Lady Gaga and Sabrina Carpenter kept it timeless—punctuated by a single shock piece that lit up the timeline. Performances got the microscope from us too: what landed, what missed, and how televised moments dovetail with marketing cycles like a Super Bowl halftime.Then we tackle the question that won't die: should artists speak on politics? Jelly Roll's refusal to weigh in sparked backlash, and we push back on the expectation that entertainers must campaign. Autonomy matters—for artists and for fans. We talk about separating art from the artist, when lines get crossed, and how to “vote” with your wallet without letting parasocial noise make your choices. It's a candid, sometimes uncomfortable, always honest conversation about taste, ethics, and the business machine behind the music we love.To end on a note that's ours, we host the HB Guest Grammys. Fan Favorite goes to TX2 for the interview that lit our early charts. Best Album shout goes to Keep Flying's Time and Tide, with love to Snacktime for pure fun. “Realest” guest turns into a heartfelt debate—Forest Day, Scott Blasey, and Ralph Sutton each get flowers—because the best part of this show is still the people behind the songs.If this hit your feed just right, follow, subscribe, and drop a review.

How much of your existence is shrouded in resistance? Something a lot of us gifted autistics feel resistance towards is the needs of the human body. Food, water, sleep, bathroom… Every bodily demand feels like an interruption, a violation of autonomy. As Kathi shared in today's group podcast, her father literally says “I want to decide when I want to eat. I don't want my body to tell me when to eat!” If you have PDA (officially “Pathological Demand Avoidance” but I prefer the term “Pervasive Drive for Autonomy”), rejecting bodily needs is an attempt to preserve autonomy. Through this lens, the eating disorder – the ultimate rejection of bodily needs – can almost be seen as an extreme manifestation of PDA. Of course, the paradox is that the ED itself is a violation of autonomy…because when your every next move is decided by the ED force, well you ain't so much “in control” anymore, eh? In today's episode of the Liv Label Free Podcast, we dive DEEP into eating disorders and PDA, as well as: How diagnoses help validate our struggles Intergenerational patterns of resisting bodily needs Why mental hunger is a legitimate hunger signal (Kathi shares a great metaphor!) Franz Kafka's “A Hunger Artist” and existential loneliness Why recovery requires surrender before proof I know how “claustrophobic” it can feel to be an infinite soul contained in a human body costume. But as I've been reminding myself lately, suffering is amplified by resisting what is. XO Liv P.S.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Waymo's repricing of the robotaxi market with a $16 billion raise at a $126 billion valuation, Uber's defensive Myths and Realities earnings supplement, and the launch of a new segment, The Pit Stop.The conversation heats up as Walt and Grayson debate Uber's claim that autonomous vehicle growth is not a zero-sum game, with Grayson arguing that personal ownership and dedicated autonomous vehicle networks will eat into Uber's market share while, Walt defends the narrative of total market expansion.While Uber attempts to debunk autonomous vehicle myths, Grayson puts on his inspector hat for the inaugural Pit Stop segment, revealing exclusive details about Waymo's Miami depot infrastructure, including a depot under construction near the airport and the strategic placement of fleet operations near the Design District.Looking at the broader regulatory landscape, Grayson and Walt analyze recent Senate testimony where Waymo disclosed their use of remote assistance based in the Philippines, a move Walt classifies as an unforced error during a push for a National Autonomous Vehicle Framework.On the Foreign Autonomy Desk, they highlight the Middle East becoming a beachhead for scale with Baidu going driver-out in Dubai and WeRide partnering with Uber, noting the region is likely the only place where US and Chinese robotaxis will coexist for the time being.Episode Chapters0:00 Waymo Raises $16 Billion at a $126bn Valuation2:35 Waymo World Powered by DeepMind6:43 Uber's Myths and Realities29:03 The Pit Stop: The Inspector Goes to Miami39:02 The Pit Stop: Tesla's San Francisco Robotaxi Depot Gets Blocked41:38 AVs Need Clear Rules of the Road U.S. Senate Hearing48:01 Bedrock Robotics Raises $270 million50:28 Foreign Autonomy Desk55:04 Next WeekRecorded on Friday, February 6, 2026--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

Stacey Rubin Rose, MD, FACP, FIDSA, makes her memorable Faculty Factory Podcast debut this week with an overview of strategies for autonomy-supportive teaching. Dr. Rose is an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine (Infectious Diseases). She is also an Associate Professor in the Huffington Department of Education, Innovation, and Technology and the Associate Director of the Center for Professionalism at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. “The goal of this faculty development for autonomy-supportive teaching is to help faculty create better learning environments for trainees and for themselves,” Dr. Rose said. “When you can foster a supportive learning environment, everyone benefits and you see far less burnout,” Dr. Rose added in the opening moments of the interview. Another goal of this educational push and the faculty development workshop mentioned in this episode is to connect self-determination theory with medical well-being and medical education. For a refresher on self-determination theory, you can revisit Faculty Factory Episode No. 69, “Self-Determination Theory in Academic Medicine with Jeffrey M. Lyness, MD, FACPsych”: https://facultyfactory.org/self-determination-theory-in-academic-medicine/ “If you can teach and educate in a clinical learning environment that is supportive of autonomy, belonging, and competence—with autonomy as the anchor—then everyone wins,” she said. As also mentioned in this episode, if you want to hear more about Baylor's Center for Professionalism you can listen to Faculty Factory Episode No. 359, “Promoting Positive Professionalism with Ellen M. Friedman, MD, FACS, FAAP”: https://facultyfactory.org/ellen-friedman/

Alex recounts his latest cross-country Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) attempt and explains why “zero-disengagement” claims often hide major differences in what counts as an intervention—plus an unforgettable moment where the car nearly strands a co-driver at a sub-zero truck stop. Kirsten, Ed & Alex then dig into Tesla's decision to end Model S and Model X production, the company's escalating bet on Optimus humanoid robots, and growing signals of deeper alignment with xAI (and even potential mega-merger vibes with SpaceX). Plus the latest Waymo controversy after a robotaxi struck a child in Santa Monica, the investigations and media narrative battle, and what these incidents mean for public trust in autonomous vehicles.

Dr. Kianor Shah is doing something unprecedented. As founder of the Top 100 Doctors organization and the Doctor to Doctor movement, he has united over 1,100 healthcare professionals from 163 countries. His mission: ensure doctors lead the AI revolution rather than follow it.In this episode of The Authentic Dentist, Dr. Shah joins Dr. Allison House and Shawn Zajas to discuss the upcoming Global Medical and Dental AI Summit in London. This three-day event will bring together 700 healthcare leaders to establish AI policy, governance standards, and practical implementation strategies.Dr. Shah does not mince words about the state of healthcare. Third parties have gained substantial control over doctor decision-making in the past 50 years. Corporate models prioritize production numbers over patient care. MBA boards dictate the future of healthcare professionals who spent decades in training.AI presents both a threat and an opportunity. In the wrong hands, it could accelerate the erosion of doctor autonomy. In the right hands, it could restore the patient-doctor relationship to its foundational simplicity.The conversation covers: • Why AI should be viewed as a divine tool rather than a threat • How dentists can become the hub for overall patient health • Practical steps to start implementing AI in your practice today • Why one focused practice outperforms an empire of six • The cybersecurity concerns every dentist should understand • How a fraction of unified doctors could become the most powerful entity in healthcareDr. Shah brings unique perspective from his multicultural background (Iran, Germany, United States), his MBA training, and his 20 years of clinical practice. He scaled down from six practices to one and discovered greater income and fulfillment.The London summit offers something for every healthcare professional. The dental track features 50 speakers in TED-style presentations. The Health Intelligence Board will debate with ministers and regulatory leaders. Workshops address everything from diagnostic AI to practice management automation.For dental professionals experiencing burnout or questioning their path, this episode offers a different vision. One where doctors lead rather than follow. One where AI serves patients rather than profits. One where the profession's future is determined by practitioners who understand what healthcare actually means.Registration: top100doc.com/londonCHAPTERS: 0:00 - Introduction 2:19 - The mission behind the London AI Summit 3:50 - Why optimists will prevail with AI 5:51 - The erosion of the patient-doctor relationship 8:34 - Autonomy in corporate dentistry settings 10:27 - What the London summit offers practitioners 14:23 - Breaking down silos between medicine and dentistry 17:22 - AI liability warning for dentists 20:59 - Cybersecurity concerns and HIPAA 24:25 - The competitive advantage of AI adoption 29:24 - Why dentists are positioned to lead healthcare 31:01 - Overcoming AI misconceptions 36:22 - Authentic leadership in dentistry 38:10 - One practice vs. six: Dr. Shah's personal lesson 42:58 - The power of 0.5% of doctors unitedCONNECT: The Authentic Dentist Podcast Dr. Allison House Shawn Zajas Top 100 Doctors: top100doc.com

Many young people in the Bay Area say their city councils just don't hear them- and they have a lot to say. Today, we hear from the youth. Then, when living outside, getting a handle on even the most basic things, like the time and the weather, can be a challenge. And, a coming-of-age film explores how a Bay Area teenager is trying to keep her balance.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk are joined by their first-ever guest, David Moss, to discuss his 12,961-mile zero-intervention drive across the country on Tesla FSD, the reality of the Unsupervised Robotaxi rollout in Austin, and the commercial viability of LiDAR sensors in consumer vehicles.The conversation heats up as Walt questions David, a LiDAR LiDAR Salesman on whether the massive data processing requirements of LiDAR could introduce latency, potentially citing a recent Waymo incident involving a child as a case study. David argues that while LiDAR offers theoretical range advantages, the compute wall and cost constraints make it a one-trick pony compared to the scalability of a vision-only stack.While the group debates sensor suites, David shares his on-the-ground experience in Austin, revealing it took 58 attempts to finally secure a ride in a Unsupervised Tesla Robotaxi, and confirmed the fleet is being retrofitted with new cleaning jets for the camera sensors to handle weather occlusion.Looking at the broader robotaxi market, the trio analyzes their Zoox experiences at CES, with David noting the vehicle's braking was significantly harsher than Waymo or Tesla FSD, while Walt highlights the motion sickness challenges inherent in the vehicle's carriage-style seating configuration.In Prediction Corner, the group debates the timeline for Tesla removing the safety driver on highways, with David offering a bullish forecast for Memorial Day, while Walt and Grayson take a more conservative stance, predicting a rollout closer to late 2026.Episode Chapters0:00 Coast to Coast Fully Autonomous in a Tesla Model 310:49 The Next Record12:16 FSD Unsupervised in Austin16:16 Waymo Experience on Uber in Austin17:17 Robotaxi Safety Attendants19:44 Unsupervised Robotaxi Service Area21:43 Sensor Cleaning26:05 Robotaxi, No Highways in Austin, Yet32:11 Zoox Las Vegas Experiences37:13 LiDAR48:07 Why AutonomyRecorded on Tuesday, February 3, 2026 --------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

This is my second of three episodes about toileting and PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance or Pervasive Drive for Autonomy).This episode is focused on what to do if your child has challenges with:1 - Wiping2 - Accidents3 - Holding and constipation4 - Pooping outside the toilet5 - Peeing outside the toiletOf course, I'm talking through taking a PDA/nervous system approach to helping your child or teen with these challenges. If you want to take a deeper dive into understanding why your PDA child or teen has these challenges, please check out my previous podcast episode (Ep. 142).Also, in this episode I mention the decision making process I teach parents who are trying to decide when they should change their child or teen's diaper if doing so causes activation. If you want to learn more about making such decisions (or others), I teach how to do so in my free masterclass: School, Screens and Siblings, Oh My!

In this episode of Leadership Insider, Paul explores emotional autonomy — an often unseen leadership skill that shapes clarity, confidence, trust, and momentum inside organisations.At its core, emotional autonomy is the ability to know what you think, feel, and believe without needing external validation — and to hold that position even when others disagree.Paul unpacks how a lack of emotional autonomy quietly shows up in leadership through hesitation, over-collaboration, reassurance-seeking, and decision paralysis — creating instability for teams who are looking for clarity and direction.In this episode, Paul explores:Why confidence that collapses under disagreement creates confusionHow over-collaboration often hides a lack of inner authorityThe difference between healthy alignment and self-erasureWhy reassurance-seeking slows decisions and drains momentumHow leaders can listen well without outsourcing their leadershipStay connected, share your thoughts, and subscribe @paulscanlonuk
