The Enlightenment believed reason was its own authority. Heteronomous authority was anathema. Autonomy was the ideal. Thus, the Church's hierarchical structure was viewed as enslaving. In light of this critique, Newman offered an insightful defense of freedom and truth in the Catholic Church.  Topics Covered: Consulting the faithful in matter of doctrine  Conscience  Reason and authority  Bishops and theologians  Links: Article: Sensus Fidei in the Life of the Church Video: John Henry Newman on the Laity Read: On Consulting the Laity on Matters of Doctrine Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/   NOTE: Do you like this podcast?

You can take our free 6-minute quiz to learn how well your child or teen fits the profile.

“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.

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    This week I have the honor of welcoming Ashley Herd to the show. She is a former Chief People Officer and General Counsel who has trained over a quarter of a million managers through LinkedIn Learning and live corporate trainings. Ashley built Manager Method after leading HR in legal teams at McKinsey, Yum! Brands and Modern Luxury. She has a new book out called The Manager Method.   THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…new managers, experienced leaders, and anyone responsible for developing people who wants a more practical, human way to manage performance. If you've ever struggled with giving feedback, felt unsure how much autonomy to give your team, or questioned whether traditional performance reviews actually work, this episode will feel especially relevant.   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…most managers aren't failing because they don't care,  they're failing because they were never taught how to manage. In this episode, Ashley breaks down why so many well-intentioned leaders fall into patterns like avoiding feedback, overcorrecting, or defaulting to vague autonomy. She introduces a more structured, honest approach to management. We talk about why people actually want feedback, how AI is changing (and exposing) broken performance processes, and what managers can do differently to help their teams thrive.   KEY TAKEAWAYS… Most managers are promoted for performance rather than trained for leadership, creating gaps in expectations and feedback. Autonomy without structure often leaves employees feeling uncertain rather than empowered. Avoiding feedback is usually driven by good intentions, but it ultimately limits growth and trust. Consistent, direct feedback helps people feel respected, supported, and clear about where they stand.   WHAT I LOVE MOST…I loved Ashley's honest take on how good intentions often lead managers astray. Her insight that people don't need perfection but rather clarity reframes feedback as an act of respect, not criticism. It's a powerful reminder that strong management isn't about control or charisma, but about creating the conditions where people know where they stand and how to grow.   Running Time: 28:57   Subscribe on iTunes    Find Tiffani Online: LinkedIn Facebook X    Find Ashley Online: LinkedIn Website   Ashley's Book: The Manager Method: A Practical Framework to Lead, Support, and Get Results

Today we sit down with amiga, Piper, to hear about her adventure in Central America; the three-year long van trip with her partner allowed her to practice autonomy and effective communication in relationships, learn to let go and trust the process. From surfing in Mexico to making friends with locals in El Salvador, Piper's story serves as a good reminder to fully commit to new experiences and surrender to change.

If you've ever felt frustrated when your child resists even enjoyable activities, you're not alone. In this week's episode, we dive deep into demand avoidance—why neurodivergent kiddos sometimes just can't do what we ask (even when it's fun!)—and share a toolkit of practical strategies you can start using today. Whether you're homeschooling a differently wired kiddo or navigating daily learning resistance, this episode is packed with actionable tips, real-life examples, and mindset shifts to help your child build skills in a low-pressure way.   Key Takeaways: Lowering the Demand Doesn't Mean Lowering Expectations: There are ways to keep skill-building alive by focusing on autonomy, shared activities, and embedding learning into interest-driven projects—think Minecraft math or Pokemon writing prompts! Frameworks That Work: Use the ABC method—Autonomy, Boundaries, and Co-regulation—along with the REI model (Reduce, Invite, Embed) to create a safer, more engaging learning environment for your demand-avoidant child. Small Wins & Language Swaps: Celebrate tiny, finishable tasks and swap "You need to…" for invitations or curiosity-based questions, making participation more appealing and less threatening to your child's autonomy. From stealth learning strategies and flexible routines to troubleshooting meltdowns and perfectionism, these insights are a breath of fresh air for parents and educators alike.   Links and Resources from Today's Episode Thank you to our sponsors: CTC Math – Flexible, affordable math for the whole family!

The 94 WIP Midday Show are continuing to cover the Eagles search for a new offensive coordinator. People around the NFL are saying that Kellen Moore was not able to run the offense that he wanted to when he was the OC during the 2024 season. This supports that narratives going around that Howie Roseman and Jeffrey Lurie have full control over the organization.

In this episode, Jon speaks directly to parents worn down by constant power struggles—especially those navigating an ODD or PDA diagnosis—starting with the raw truth that holding the line often makes everything explode. Instead of doubling down on consistency or control, he reframes defiance as a nervous system response to perceived threat, not a character problem or a parenting failure. Listeners will walk away with relief, language for what's really happening in these moments, and a steadier way to hold boundaries without becoming the enemy—grounded in safety, flexibility, and the radical idea that a child's push for autonomy is not something to extinguish, but something to work with.Send us a textSupport the showLinks to help you and me: To support the Podcast, Subscribe on Substack Get Jon's Top Five Emotional Regulation Games Get Jon's Book Punishment-Free Parenting Preorder Jon's Children's Book Set My Feelings Free Follow Whole Parent on Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, Youtube

In this episode of Change Starts Here, Kim Yaris and Dr. Eve Miller tackle the dreaded "mid-year slump", that time when energy dips and motivation becomes scarce for both staff and students. Rather than pushing harder, they explore the neurobiology behind what actually drives us to take action. Dr. Miller breaks down the science of the "motivation switch" in the brain, the nucleus accumbens, and explains why choice, relevance, and connection are biological necessities, not just nice-to-haves.Listeners will discover why motivation is not a fixed personality trait but a response to environmental conditions. The conversation unpacks Self-Determination Theory and offers leaders practical strategies to shift their teams from compliance to contribution. By learning how to offer authentic choices and co-create paths forward, educators can reignite agency and engagement even during the toughest stretches of the school year.Download the Handout:https://resources.franklincovey.com/c/CSH_handout_S6E19?x=OcaUHVHosts:Kim Yaris, M.Ed.

Whether you're single or married, young or old, finding and keeping meaningful and genuine personal relationships is what we all desire.In our digital age, relationship building is not easy. Young people are finding people to date on apps, and they are communicating with friends on social media. No matter whether you're married or single, we all need to understand how to have healthy relationships.College chaplain Erin Moniz is deeply attuned to the questions and concerns of today's emerging adults. In her new book, Knowing and Being Known: Hope for All Our Intimate Relationships (IVP, 2025), she explores the essential elements of healthy relationships, addresses the complexities of intimacy, and shines a light on the barriers that can impede genuine connection.What we discuss in this episode:* The secular culture says that the two key benchmarks of full adulthood are (1) Autonomy, and (2) Sexual Activity. * But the sad truth is that this hypersexuality and romance idolatry has seeped into the church. We still see adulthood in these categories, though they're framed slightly differently.* We begin to reimagine a theology that emphasizes the importance of intimacy in all our relationships (with God and with our fellow humans).* The Fall introduced shame into our relationships. Shame is destructive and is not the same as guilt or conviction. * Erin explains how vulnerability is the currency of intimacy.* While marriage and family remain important, the church and other ministries need to focus on what true friendship is and how to develop friends.

Designing student-centered lessons but still seeing disengagement, emotional shutdowns, or surface-level participation? What if the issue isn't what you're teaching, but whether your learning environment aligns with how the adolescent brain actually works? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Ari Pinar, neuroscientist and educator, to unpack what brain science tells us about adolescence — and why autonomy, belonging, and relevance aren't "nice-to-haves," but neurological necessities for learning. Dr. Pinar helps us bridge the gap between student-centered intentions and brain-aligned practice. Drawing from neuroscience research and classroom examples across international school contexts, we explore how common school structures unintentionally work against adolescent development — and what shifts truly support agency, regulation, and motivation. You'll learn: Why autonomy, belonging, and relevance are core drivers of adolescent engagement and learning How the developing adolescent brain responds to risk, feedback, identity, and peer connection Why some student-centered strategies fail without the right environmental conditions Practical ways to redesign space, time, relationships, and routines to support teen learners How brain-aligned environments reduce disengagement, resistance, and burnout — for students and teachers If you're serious about moving from passive compliance to active, empowered learning, this episode will help you design with the adolescent brain — not against it.

In this episode, host Etienne Nichols sits down with Ashkon Rasooli, founder of Ingenious Solutions and a specialist in Software as a Medical Device (SaMD). The conversation previews their upcoming session at MD&M West, focusing on the critical intersection of generative AI (GenAI) and quality assurance. While many AI applications exist in MedTech, GenAI presents unique challenges because it creates new data—text, code, or images—rather than simply classifying existing information.Ashkon breaks down the specific failure modes unique to generative models, most notably "hallucinations." He explains how these outputs can appear legitimate while being factually incorrect, and explores the cascading levels of risk this poses. The discussion moves from simple credibility issues to severe safety concerns when AI-generated data is used in critical clinical decision-making without proper guardrails.The episode concludes with a forward-looking perspective on how validation is shifting. Ashkon argues that because GenAI behavior is statistical rather than deterministic, traditional pre-market validation is no longer sufficient. Instead, a robust quality framework must include continuous post-market surveillance and real-time independent monitoring to ensure device safety and effectiveness over time.Key Timestamps01:45 - Introduction to MD&M West and the "AI Guy for SaMD," Ashkon Rasooli.04:12 - Defining Generative AI: How it differs from traditional machine learning and image recognition.06:30 - Hallucinations: Exploring failure modes where AI creates plausible but false data.08:50 - The Autonomy Scale: Applying standard 34971 to determine the level of human supervision required.12:15 - Regulatory Gaps: Why no generative AI medical devices have been cleared by the FDA yet.15:40 - Safety by Design: Using "independent verification agents" to monitor AI outputs in real-time.19:00 - The Shift to Post-Market Validation: Why 90% validation at launch requires 10% continuous monitoring.22:15 - Comparing AI to Laboratory Developed Tests (LDTs) and the role of the expert user.Quotes"Hallucinations are just a very familiar form of failure modes... where the product creates sample data that doesn't actually align with reality." - Ashkon Rasooli"Your validation plan isn't just going to be a number of activities you do that gate release to market; it is actually going to be those plus a number of activities you do after market release." - Ashkon RasooliTakeawaysRight-Size Autonomy: Match the AI's level of independence to the risk of the application. High-risk diagnostic tools should have lower autonomy (Level 1-2), while administrative tools can operate more freely.Implement Redundancy: Use a "two is one" approach by employing an independent AI verification agent to check the primary model's output against safety guidelines before it reaches the user.

In this episode of Macros Made Easy, I'm sharing something more personal than usual. I'm walking you through what pregnancy is teaching me about midlife, menopause, and body autonomy, and why moving through two seasons in a changing one body has reshaped how I think about food, training, and trust.At first glance, pregnancy and menopause seem like opposites, but living in both worlds has shown me how similar they actually feel. In two seasons that look very different on paper, the body gets louder, hormones take the lead, and the old rules stop working. When you are living in one body that is changing without asking for permission, trying to maintain a controlling diet only creates more frustration and disconnection.I talk about how pregnancy has forced me to let go of a controlling diet mindset and lean fully into flexible dieting instead. Eating more without attaching meaning to it. Training for function instead of aesthetics. Resting without guilt. These same shifts are exactly what midlife women need as hormones change and the body stops responding to restriction.This episode explores why body autonomy matters more than ever during hormonal transitions. True body autonomy is not about forcing your body into submission. It is about learning how to partner with your body during two seasons of change while honoring that you are still living in one body that deserves care, nourishment, and respect.I also explain why flexible dieting is often the missing piece for women navigating midlife and menopause. A controlling diet increases stress when hormones are already elevated. flexible dieting creates structure without rigidity and support without punishment. When you shift away from a controlling diet and toward flexible dieting, your body can finally exhale.Throughout the episode, I connect my pregnancy experience to what I see daily in midlife women who feel confused, frustrated, or disconnected from their bodies. When you are moving through two seasons in the same one body, the goal is not control. The goal is trust. That is where body autonomy begins.In this episode, I cover:Why pregnancy and menopause feel surprisingly similar inside the bodyHow a controlling diet backfires during hormonal transitionsWhy flexible dieting supports energy, recovery, and resilienceHow to rebuild body autonomy when the old rules stop workingWhat it means to care for one body through two seasons of changeIf your body feels unfamiliar lately, this episode is for you. Whether you are navigating perimenopause, menopause, or simply a new season in your health, learning to release a controlling diet, embrace flexible dieting, and rebuild body autonomy is how you move forward with confidence in the same one body, even as you pass through two seasons.

“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.

Recorded during the 2025 National Conference on Health Communication, Marketing, and Media (NCHCMM) in Atlanta, NPHIC's Public Health Speaks podcast continues its Voices from the Field series with a thoughtful and timely conversation on health autonomy, motivation, and the role of artificial intelligence in public health communication.In this episode, NPHIC is joined by Amelia Burke-Garcia, PhD, a longtime health communicator and Director of the Center for Health Communication Science at NORC at the University of Chicago. With more than 20 years of experience in the field, Burke-Garcia shares insights from her recent opinion piece, What Supporting [Health] Autonomy Should Look Like & How Artificial Intelligence Can Help, and unpacks how Self-Determination Theory can strengthen health communication practice.The conversation explores how autonomy—often cited as a core principle in medicine and public health—can become uneven or conditional when people are overwhelmed by complex, and sometimes conflicting, health information. Burke-Garcia discusses how health communicators can better support autonomy by designing messages that are more empathetic, relevant, and empowering, while still advancing population health goals. She also examines how emerging AI tools may help scale tailored, evidence-based messaging in ways that build trust and meet people where they are.Tune in for practical insights and a hopeful path forward for health communicators navigating an increasingly complex information environment.

On a cold January day in South Carolina, Jamie and Matt Staub unpack why focus is one of the most underrated leadership skills—especially in healthcare, where everything can feel urgent. They break down how leaders decide what deserves attention, how to “push pause” on non-emergencies, and why coaching people through problems is often more effective than absorbing them. The conversation also explores decision fatigue, the difference between being busy and being focused, the role of habits (including insights from Atomic Habits), and how boundaries protect the work that actually moves the mission forward. Along the way, they normalize attention struggles, reframe “failure” as part of growth, and offer practical ways to stay aligned to goals without losing empathy or accessibility.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Tesla officially removing safety attendants from Robotaxis in Austin, Waymo's commercial launch in Miami, and Serve Robotics' strategic acquisition of Diligent Robotics.It finally happened. Tesla has removed safety attendants from a select group of vehicles in Austin. While this initial fleet is limited and operating in a specific geofence and utilizing chase cars, Grayson and Walt view this as a critical validation of the technology. Looking ahead, Grayson predicts the operational domain will expand significantly in Austin over the next 60 days, with the Phoenix metro region slated as the next target market for deployment. As Tesla went safety attendant-out, Waymoopened the Miami market for limited commercial service within a 60-square-mile area, with one major caveat, no Miami Beach. On the Foreign Autonomy Desk, Grayson and Walt discuss Geely's plan to deploy 100,000 methanol-powered robotaxis in China and the South Korean government's selection of Gwangju as the nation's first dedicated autonomous vehicle testing zone.Episode Chapters0:00 Tesla Removes Safety Attendant in Austin 9:19 Operational Efficiency 10:33 Alex Roy Goes Coast-to-Coast with Zero FSD Interventions 14:15 Drive on FSD, Get a Discount 18:25 FSD is Expanding as Prices are Increasing 23:31 New Robotaxi Markets 24:53 Waymo Launches Miami Markets28:33 Vandalizing Waymo's32:20 Serve Robotics Acquires Diligent Robotics36:41 Foreign Autonomy Desk 39:21 Next WeekRecorded on Friday, January 23, 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™.

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Creative, Caitlin goes full “spicy brains, unpacking all the shame” and dives into why childhood development has its own pace, and why trying to rush it creates more stress for everyone.Using Erik Erikson's psychosocial stages (Trust vs. Mistrust + Autonomy vs. Shame & Doubt), Caitlin connects toddler “purple cup chaos,” risky play, and messy learning to the adult realities of people-pleasing, shame spirals, and inner child repair.We also get a Caitlin-style tour through special interests (biology, evolution, brains), a candid story about changing majors, and a big, tender reminder: kids learn through experience—and so do we.

CES, the former Consumer Electronics Show, is hosted every year in Las Vegas, Nevada, attracting the latest and greatest in futuristic tech for consumers, businesses, and everyone in between. It was just a few years ago, in 2019, when John Deere became one of the first major ag companies to exhibit at the show, and since then agricultural equipment and tech companies have become a mainstay.DTN Progressive Farmer's Senior Editor Dan Miller has been attending CES for years now, and fresh off the latest event, he brings us updates from the showroom floor. We'll learn more about what he saw and heard there — from upcoming equipment announcements to thoughts and feedback from farmers and consumers alike.He'll tell us about updates to John Deere's X9 Combine, the latest in AI and autonomy from Kubota and Bobcat, and guide us through the current state of the drone market with the latest from Hylio. We'll talk about productivity gains, price tags, and how shows like this create opportunities for farmers and agriculturalists to engage with the public.Finally, we'll hear what other stories Dan is expecting in the coming months as we head towards planting.

We've hit a tipping point for autonomy in agriculture, so how far off is fully autonomous farming? In this episode, Matthew Pryor sits down with Brett McMickell, Chief Technology Officer at Kubota North America, to unpack his view on what autonomy can deliver in agriculture and why it's closer than many people think.Brett's career spans spacecraft control systems and multi-vehicle autonomy. Today at Kubota, he's helping guide autonomy strategy inside one of the world's largest and oldest agricultural equipment manufacturers. Brett's focus is about ensuring the technology solves on the ground problems for farmers and is driven by customer demand, rather than by the tech itself.Matthew and Brett discuss:What supervised autonomy will look like in 1 - 3 years.Why smart implements and sensing are just as important as autonomous power systems.Why AI in agriculture is still under-appreciated.What autonomy will look like in 10 years (without human intervention).How autonomy could completely change farm layouts, machine sizes, and operating metrics.How Kubota decides whether to build, partner with, or acquire new technology.Useful Links:Kubota USA InnovationKubota acquires Bloomfield Robotics, so what?Kubota to acquire automation company AgJunction - Future FarmingKubota Concept Tractor | Innovation | Kubota Global SiteKubota launches first autonomous hydrogen-fuelled tractor - Farmers WeeklyHow can agtech startups and corporates do more together?Seeing into the future of farm autonomy (w/ SwarmFarm Robotics)Have we hit a tipping point for autonomy in ag?For more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.

Sergey Litvinenko, Co-Founder & CEO of Koop, joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss the financial and operational structures required to insure fleets of personally owned autonomous vehicles.As Tesla prepares to scale the Cybercab in 2026, the conversation explores the shift from personal ownership to personally owned fleets, where individuals form companies to own and operate commercial robotaxi businesses.During the episode, Sergey explains how the insurance P&L for a fleet owner is transformed by real-world behavior data, which serves as a more accurate risk predictor than traditional human-centric metrics. By leveraging high-fidelity data and specialized subrogation models, Koop is developing a framework that manages liability between the fleet owner and the vehicle manufacturer, clearing the path for the Autonomy Economy to scale through third-party ownership.Episode Chapters0:00 The Emergence of the Tesla Network 3:07 Insuring Cybercab and Personally-Owned Teslas8:59 Insuring and Deploying Personally-Owned Autonomous Vehicle Fleets22:50 Insurance Underwriting Capacity 25:22 Insurance Products 27:50 Changing Driving Habits31:14 Reinsurance32:30 Liability with No Pedals and Steering Wheel 38:38 Fleet Management 41:55 Future of Insuring Autonomous Vehicle Fleet OperationsRecorded on Friday, January 16, 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™.

What happens when a heart surgeon who's performed over 3,300 operations decides the healthcare system is fundamentally broken? Dr. Philip Ovadia built a medical practice where the goal is making patients healthy enough that they don't need doctors anymore.This conversation reveals how Ovadia Heart Health operates across all 50 states, why they celebrate when patients leave, and the uncomfortable truth about why your doctor can't tell you certain diseases are reversible. Chief Operating Officer Brian Keith joins Dr. Ovadia to explain the financial incentives trapping physicians and their roadmap for doctors to reclaim autonomy.Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

I feel we are in an age of trust. A desire for trust, and a lot of distrust. Right now you are listening to this podcast. Outside of podcasts that are news or entertainment, I see people tuning in to listen to hosts that they look to for…trust. You would not be listening here and now if you did not have a level of trust in me. And I see this as good and bad. As of this recording I am headed to a podcast convention where they are inducting my Dad, Dan Miller, into the Podcast Hall of Fame. He's being inducted by Dave Ramsey and my family and I are receiving it and I'm giving the acceptance speech. I'm incredibly honored. But Dave Ramsey. He's a celebrity who got famous for his guidance on money. Today however he has massive trust from a huge audience who looks to him for guidance on about everything. And I see a cultural who is erroring on over-trust. And I feel it brings up the question of how much we trust ourselves. So in this episode I have Dr. Shadé Zahrai with me. Shadé is a behavioral researcher, peak performance educator, and leadership strategist for major global companies, with a PhD in organizational behavior. She is known for helping organizations and individuals build confidence and overcome self-doubt through practical strategies drawn from psychology and neuroscience. Shadé has a new book that compiles her findings, Big Trust: Rewire Self-Doubt, Find Your Confidence, And Fuel Success. She walks us through a proven framework of Acceptance, Agency, Autonomy, and Adaptability, and helps us reveal and reframe limiting beliefs, quiet imposter thoughts, and reclaim our inner strength. Whether you're second guessing a big decision, overthinking in high-stakes moments, or feeling stuck despite knowing you're capable of more, Shadé has developed practical steps that lead to powerful, lasting results. You can find Shadé at bigtrustbook.com and do a 12 question self-diagnostics on your level of trust and self-doubt.

If you've ever waited to “feel confident” before you take the leap… congratulations, you've been scammed by your own brain. In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil goes full confidence-nerd (with the occasional rant) with Dr. Shadé Zahrai—behavioral researcher, peak performance educator, and author of Big Trust—to expose what confidence actually is, why self-doubt doesn't disappear, and how to build real self-trust that holds up when life gets messy. What we get into: Why confidence isn't the opposite of self-doubt (and why that myth keeps you stuck) The thing you actually need first: self-trust / Big Trust—backing yourself before the outcome is guaranteed How “failure” can build confidence if you stop making it mean you are a failure The self-image trap (including a wild scar study that proves your brain will invent reality if you let it) The Four A's of Big Trust: Acceptance, Agency, Autonomy, Adaptability (aka the internal upgrades your confidence has been begging for) The 4 Inner Deceivers (and the bonus villain): The Classic Judge (never impressed, always loud) The Misguided Protector (aka fear dressed up as “logic”) The Ringmaster (grind culture's toxic BFF) The Neglector (everyone else first… until you break) The Victimizer (outsourcing your power like it's a hobby) If self-doubt is showing up, it doesn't mean you're broken—it means you're human and doing something that matters. Build Big Trust, take the step anyway, and let confidence catch up like it always does. Thank you to our sponsors!

What if the path you thought you were on could lead you somewhere completely unexpected—and completely fulfilling? That's exactly what happened for San Juanita Reed, founder of Thriving Roots Speech Therapy in Houston, Texas.What started as a teaching career to children eventually blossomed into a thriving private practice, where San Juanita now serves children and adults with a wide range of speech therapy needs.San Juanita's journey into speech-language pathology began in the classroom. She spent years teaching preschool and working with infants and toddlers, but she often found herself wondering how she could do more to help her students. A chance encounter with a speech-language pathologist opened her eyes to a new path—one that combined her love of working with children with the desire to make a deeper impact on their lives. After navigating personal tragedy and taking a detour to care for herself, she pursued a master's degree in speech-language pathology and began her career in outpatient therapy and home health.Over time, San Juanita realized that while she loved helping children and families, traditional employment was limiting her growth and contributing to burnout. She began exploring private practice, and with guidance from the Start Your Private Practice Program, she discovered she could create a business that aligned with her skills, values, and life goals.When San Juanita officially launched Thriving Roots Speech Therapy, she approached it with the same careful planning she applies in therapy. She set clear monthly goals, broke them down into actionable steps, and dedicated time to focus on building her practice without distractions. Her first patient inquiries came in on launch day—a perfect reminder that preparation and persistence pay off.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:The moment she knew burnout wasn't just fatigue — it was a sign to pursue private practiceHow she broke her big goals into tiny steps to make them achievableWhat happened the day her first patient inquiry came in after launchingHow she finally reclaimed joy, purpose, and ownership by being in full control of her practice and her lifeSan Juanita's story shows that starting a private practice doesn't require prior business experience or big-city connections—it requires courage, planning, and a willingness to take small, consistent steps. By leading with her heart and putting education and value first, she built a thriving practice that aligns with her purpose and allows her to maintain balance and boundaries.Ready to take control of your career and create your own private practice?

Today, we are joined by Nick Baltas to examine how narratives, signals, and structural design are reshaping trend following at the start of 2026. The conversation moves from investor storytelling and information digestion to a sober review of what truly drove dispersion in 2025. We explore why speed and universe choice mattered more than expected, why recent outcomes may be misleading, and why reacting to performance is often a mistake. The discussion then turns technical, unpacking new academic research on nonlinear momentum, signal construction, and the deeper mechanics behind trend following's defensive behavior during stress. The episode closes with a reminder that discipline, not prediction, remains the strategy's core advantage.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Nick on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps:00:00 - Introduction and welcome01:05 - A disrupted start to 202603:10 - Narratives, information, and price formation07:06 - Why stories often fail to move markets09:31 - Recurring themes and market attention10:59 - Strong early conditions for trend following12:01 - Dispersion across strategies in 202515:06 - Familiar patterns in an unfamiliar year18:42 - Speed versus universe in trend design23:17 - Why recent outperformance can mislead31:08 - Institutional views on trend following40:21 - Nonlinear time series momentum research50:30 - Autonomy of trend and crisis...

SHOW SCHEDULE1-14-251920 SALT RIVER China Urges Canada to Break from US Influence. Guests: CHARLES BURTON and GORDON CHANG. China is pressuring Canada to adopt "strategic autonomy" and distance itself from US influence as PM Mark Carney visits Beijing. Despite myths of economic salvation through Chinese trade, experts argue Canada'sexports to China remain minimal. Concerns persist regarding fentanyl production, Arctic neglect, and Chineseespionage. China's "Hollow Power" in Iran and Venezuela. Guests: GORDON CHANG and CHARLES BURTON. China's influence appears limited as it fails to substantively support struggling allies like Venezuela's Maduro or the Iranian regime. While China remains a major purchaser of discounted Iranian oil, it has proven unable to dictate events against US pressure. Experts describe China as a "hollow power." Trump's Iran Tariff Threat and China Trade Rift. Guest: ALAN TONELSON. President Trump's threat of a 25% tariff on any country trading with Iran significantly impacts China, which values this trade for political and symbolic reasons. China has already failed to meet its previous trade obligations, including soybean purchases and rare earth export licenses. Europe remains economically vulnerable. Electricity Costs, AI Demand, and Venezuela's Oil Reality. Guest: BUD WEINSTEIN. Rising US electricity prices, up 30-35% over five years, are driven by data center and AI growth alongside infrastructure underinvestment. Meanwhile, Venezuelan oil is deemed impractical for US demand due to high extraction costs and political instability. Rebuilding these fields would require massive, high-risk investments. Chinese Sinister Intentions in Cuba and Nicaragua. Guest: STEVE YATES. China maintains a significant presence in Cuba, utilizing the island for intelligence gathering and signals facilities targeted at the United States. As Venezuela's oil subsidies to Cuba potentially end, the island faces economic collapse. The US may utilize travel restrictions and economic pressure as leverage. The Risks of Venezuelan Oil and Soaring Copper Prices. Guest: SIMON CONSTABLE. American oil companies remain reluctant to invest in Venezuela due to the historical risk of nationalization and decayed infrastructure. In commodity markets, copper has reached an "astronomical" price of over $6 per pound, leading to a surge in theft from electronics and bridges globally. Artemis 2 Safety Concerns and SpaceX Dominance. Guest: BOB ZIMMERMAN. The Artemis 2 manned mission faces controversy over unresolved Orion heat shield damage observed during previous tests. Meanwhile, SpaceX has secured a monopoly on recent Space Force contracts, signaling a shift toward prioritizing reliability and cost over redundancy. China has filed for 200,000 new satellites. Scouting Mars for Helicopters and the Search for Alien Life. Guest: BOB ZIMMERMAN. Scientists are scouting landing sites for future Mars helicopters in areas containing near-surface ice, potentially for future Starship missions. Research suggests liquid water may have existed on Mars three billion years ago under protective ice sheets. Recent SETI results analyzed billions of data points without finding definitive alien signals. Venezuela's Power Vacuum and the Path Forward. Guest: MARY KISSEL, Executive Vice President at Stephens Incorporated. Mary Kissel discusses the "unfinished" state of Venezuela following the removal of Maduro, characterizing the remaining leadership as "thugs" and "gangs" focused on drug money. She explores the roles of Cuba, regional neighbors like Colombia and Brazil, and the Vatican's new moral leadership in the region. Iran in Transition: Assessing a Regime on the Brink. Guest: MARY KISSEL, Executive Vice President at Stephens Incorporated. John Batchelor and Mary Kissel analyze reports of Iran's potential collapse, citing internet blackouts and regime brutality. They discuss potential U.S. interventions, such as kinetic strikes or Starlinkaccess, and evaluate whether Reza Pahlavi is a credible transitional leader amidst concerns of the country breaking into ethnic factions. The Intellectual Factions of the "New Right". Guest: PETER BERKOWITZ, Hoover Institution Senior Fellow. Peter Berkowitz outlines the fracturing of the "New Right" into factions like national conservatives and post-liberals. Referencing Laura K. Field's book, Furious Minds, he notes these groups often reject Lockeanprinciples in the Declaration of Independence. However, he distinguishes these intellectuals from typical, non-ideological Trump voters. The New Right's Radical Rejection of Traditional Republicanism. Guest: PETER BERKOWITZ, Hoover Institution Senior Fellow. Berkowitz contrasts the New Right's desire for state-led social reform with the Republican Party's traditional focus on liberty and limited government. He discusses Michael Anton's views on the "right of revolution" and warns that attacking classical liberalism risks eroding essential protections against bigotry and persecution in America. Plunging Russian Oil Prices and the Impact of Global Sanctions. Guest: MICHAEL BERNSTAM. Russian oil prices are dropping significantly, with some major brands selling between $34 and $35 per barrel. Westernsanctions and global supply gluts allow buyers like China and India to extract massive discounts. Future stability in Iran could further increase competition, driving Russian revenues and taxes even lower. Pakistan's $1.5 Billion Arms Deal with Sudan and China's Strategic Influence. Guests: RICK FISHER and GORDON CHANG. Pakistan is nearing a deal to supply jets and drones to Sudan, likely funded by Saudi Arabia. China uses these transactions to establish alternative security structures in the Middle East. Experts suggest China prefers ongoing conflict over peace to maximize profits and regional influence. The Collapse of the Chinese Real Estate Market and Economic Stagnation. Guests: ANNE STEVENSON-YANG and GORDON CHANG. China's property sector faces a permanent downturn, with prices dropping 30–60% and enough vacant apartments to house billions. The government lacks the funds for a rescue. Xi Jinping'sfocus on high-tech is insufficient to replace real estate, which previously accounted for 25% of GDP. The China-Iran Partnership: Oil, Surveillance, and Regional Stability. Guest: JACK BURNHAM. Chinamaintains a pragmatic "partnership" with Iran, focused on extracting discounted oil. Beijing provides surveillance technology to help the Iranian regime suppress internal protests while officially calling for stability. Additionally, Chinese or Russian technology is suspected of disrupting Starlink satellites to hinder military communications.
