"If you could preserve your loved one in a digital body, would you do it?"This week, we're confronting the uncomfortable reality of AI grief bots - programs and companies providing artificially generated versions of your loved ones after their death.This conversation could go on for days, so while this just scratches the surface of the topic, it's worthwhile to get your thoughts going about the ethical and emotional ramifications of this technology and the way we grieve.Links + Resources from this episode: The Restorative Grief ProjectJoshua Barbeau's experienceJoin our PatreonConnect on social media (@MandyCapehart)

What if you could translate any video into any language—instantly—and make it look like the speaker was really speaking it?   In this episode of Eye on AI, host Craig Smith sits down with Jeff Liu, founder and CEO of Akool, to explore how AI avatars and real-time video translation are eliminating global language barriers. With a background at Apple, Google, and Stanford, Jeff is leading Akool to the frontier of generative AI: cloning faces, voices, and emotions in live video streams.   We dive into the technical architecture behind Akool's real-time avatars, the role of large language models in translation latency, and what the future looks like when the need to "learn languages" may disappear.   Whether you're a content creator, marketer, technologist, or just curious about what's next in AI and communication, this episode is a must-listen.

Send us a textWho are the great spiritual avatars that appear throughout human history, and why do they come when they do? Dr. Douglas James Cottrell takes us on a profound exploration of divine consciousness made manifest in physical form.These awakened beings—Buddha, Christ, Sai Baba, and others—embody what Sai Baba himself described perfectly: "The only difference between you, the seeker, and me, the teacher, is that I know who I am. God is inside of me." Understanding this single statement illuminates the entire purpose of avatars in our world.Dr. Douglas reveals why these spiritual "crossing guards" appear at critical junctures when humanity has drifted from its divine path. Like cosmic traffic officers stopping us before we rush headlong into spiritual disaster, they redirect us toward love, integrity, and awareness through example rather than force. Their miraculous abilities—from Christ's transmutation of water to wine to Sai Baba materializing objects from thin air—serve not as mere spectacle but as awakeners of faith.Most fascinating is Dr. Douglas's explanation of the three prophesied incarnations of Sai Baba, with the final avatar now appearing as a young man destined to guide world leaders through our planet's current "renovation time." The signs of this transformation surround us: biblical prophecies fulfilling as the Euphrates dries up, climate shifts accelerating, and social structures destabilizing—all part of Earth's necessary rebalancing.Yet within this challenging transition lies hope. By 2035-2040, Dr. Douglas foresees humanity emerging transformed, with future generations barely remembering the upheavals of our current time. His message is clear: stay on the path of love and service, for "if you're living the right things and trying to help, you cannot go wrong." A timely reminder that even as the world transforms around us, our spiritual compass remains our surest guide.Support the show

Sean runs the gang through their first Dungeons & Dragons fantasy tabletop roleplaying campaign: On their journey to reach the Caverns of Extreme Disarray, Elva, Wea, and Gladstone met up with Sir Skrog of the Hill People, who joined them as they set out into the wilderness. In the wilds of Nocturne, they saved Grenich the Woodcutter from the judgment of vengeful tree women and he promised to lead them to a sanctuary called the Inn of the Last Haven. Deeper in the wild, they rescued Kida Roki, King of the Wood, from the nest of a giant spider and learned that the woodcutters at the inn were actually cannibals.

Listen to Dan Solin, President at Solin Strategic LLC and Evidence Based Advisor Marketing, as he shares his journey from law to financial advice, revealing how his legal background shaped a preventative, client-first mindset. In this episode, Dan unpacks the power of simplicity in investing, advocating for low-cost, transparent strategies that cut through industry complexity. He introduces the neuroscience-informed “Solin process” to build trust and engagement and explains why listening—not talking—is the true competitive edge for advisers. He explores how AI and avatars can scale personalisation and content delivery, critiques outdated asset-based fees, and champions fairer, fixed models. Dan concludes by affirming that while technology will transform the industry, the human element remains essential in delivering meaningful, emotionally intelligent financial advice in Australia's evolving landscape. 00:01:35 – Dan's background Dan began his career as a lawyer before shifting into financial advising. He explains how his legal background influenced his focus on prevention over reaction, leading him to help clients make  better investment decisions before problems arise. 00:03:01 – Writing and evidence-based investing Dan discusses his books on evidence-based investing, explaining how the industry often overcomplicates what should be a straightforward discipline. His philosophy centres around simplicity, low-cost solutions, and the importance of transparency. 00:05:09 – The Solin process He introduces the “Solin process,” a neuroscience-informed approach to client engagement that focuses on asking open-ended questions. This process helps advisors convert prospects into clients by building trust and credibility. 00:08:08 – Neuroscience and listening Referencing studies from Harvard, Dan explains that listening creates pleasurable brain responses in clients. In contrast, dominating the conversation often leads to disengagement. Listening, he argues, is the true competitive edge in advisery services. 00:15:00 – Leveraging technology Dan explains how advisors can use AI and digital avatars to scale their outreach while maintaining  personalisation. These tools are especially effective for connecting with younger clients and  enhancing marketing efforts. 00:18:32 – Investment simplicity Dan challenges the idea that complex strategies are better. He advocates for evidence-based investing and the use of index funds, stressing that clear communication and low-cost solutions often yield better outcomes for clients. 00:22:10 – Rethinking fee structures Dan critiques asset-based fees, calling them outdated and often misaligned with the actual work advisors perform. He recommends more transparent, service-based or fixed-fee models that reflect real value delivered. 00:24:38 – The role of advisers in a tech-enabled future While AI will take over many routine functions, Dan believes the human element will remain essential. Advisers should focus on addressing complex emotional and financial needs, while tech  handles repetitive processes. 00:27:44 – Using avatars to scale content Dan shares how he uses avatars to turn written content into hundreds of video clips. This allows him to scale his marketing and provide 24/7 access to resources without additional workload. 00:31:51 – Final reflections Dan concludes by affirming his belief in the integrity of most advisors and their willingness to evolve. By adopting better communication strategies and new technologies, the industry can deliver more effective and ethical service.

These quickly migrated into the world of gaming, with its motion capture and CGI animation, and their striking similarity with live performance through timed duration, but with a complicated relation with the physical world and real, fleshy bodies.

Welcome to episode 272 of the Grow Your Law Firm podcast, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken sits down with Italo Robinson, Content Producer with Repeak Media.   Italo is a dynamic social media manager based in Hawaii, specializing in creating engaging video content for personal injury law firms with AI & Stock footage to avoid long production timelines.   What you'll learn about in this episode:   1. The Importance of Purpose in Social Media Content: It is essential to define the purpose of social media content, whether it is for brand awareness, providing value to followers, or generating leads. Creating content that offers value to the audience before promoting the law firm can help establish credibility and keep followers engaged.   2. Utilizing Captions for Accessibility & AI Content Creation: Including captions in videos is crucial to cater to viewers who watch content with the sound off, ensuring the message is effectively communicated. AI tools can streamline the content creation process, saving time for lawyers who are busy handling cases while maintaining a consistent social media presence.   3. Time Commitment & Authenticity in Content Creation:  Lawyers only need to provide guidance on the type of cases they are interested in targeting, allowing the content creators to produce relevant videos accordingly. Authentic and genuine content, even if shot with simple tools like an iPhone, can often perform better than highly polished, high-budget content on social media.   4. Avatars in Content Creation &  Client Referral Strategies:  Avatars could be used in the future to explain legal processes or advice, offering a new dimension to how legal information is shared. Leveraging social media to stay top of mind with clients and provide ongoing value can lead to increased referrals and client retention.   5.  Specific Content Themes & Embracing the Ephemeral Nature of Social Media Tailoring content around specific themes, such as motor vehicle accidents or motorcycle accidents, can help effectively target a particular audience. Recognizing that social media content is ephemeral can encourage a mindset of consistently sharing content without overthinking its permanence.   Resources:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/italohimself LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/italo-robinson/   Additional Resources:  https://www.pilmma.org/aiworkshop https://www.pilmma.org/the-mastermind-effect https://www.pilmma.org/resources https://www.pilmma.org/mastermind
