We sit down with Jim Doyle to explore the timeless art of bonsai. With over 53 years of experience as part of the Susquehanna Bonsai Club, Jim shares the origins and cultural significance of bonsai, along with practical insights into how to care for these living works of art. From shaping techniques to long-term maintenance, he offers a fascinating look into the patience, creativity, and dedication behind bonsai cultivation—revealing why this ancient practice continues to inspire generations today.then,In this medical update, we highlight the launch of a new Celiac Clinic at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, designed to provide the region's most comprehensive care for patients living with celiac disease. Dr. Kofi Clarke, Chief of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, discusses the clinic's multidisciplinary approach, advanced diagnostic tools, and personalized treatment plans aimed at improving patient outcomes. This episode explores how expanded resources and expert care are transforming the way celiac disease is managed in Central Pennsylvania.

#95 Alex und Zsolt stecken mit ihren Tanzpartnerinnen, Mascha und Marta, mitten in der Profi-Challenge-Woche und geben Einblicke in ihr knallhartes Training und den Entstehungsprozess hinter ihren Tänzen. Außerdem spricht Zsolt neuerdings mit Pflanzen, was wiederum Alex über seine Beziehung zu seiner Hecke nachdenken lässt. Viel Spaß mit der Folge!

Hey folks, this is Alex, let me catch you up! First, Opus 4.8 dropped during the show, we immediately tested it, read on for our initial reviews. Also, we dedicated a heavy chunk of the show today to cover Pope Leo XIV's encyclical letter on AI called “Magnifica Humanitas” and talked about a new bench called DeepSWE. And then, just after the show, both ElevenLabs and Cartesia dropped released that honestly blew my mind, and I don't get my mind blown often. I got so excited that I had to record a video on it (instead of writing the newsletter, so sorry if it's a bit later today).Plus, a few open source models and Microsoft surprises as #3 on Image Arena with MAI Image 2.5! Crazy week, let's get into it! ThursdAI - Highest signal weekly AI news show is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Big CO LLMs + APIsAnthropic ships Claude Opus 4.8, live during the show (blog, system card)Let me get into the big one. Halfway through the episode, Opus 4.8 went live, so we read the blog and the system card in real time (and I got to press the big “breaking news” button!)Anthropic frames it as their most capable model for ambitious work. It does not claim to beat their unreleased Mythos preview, but the numbers are strong anyway. SWE-bench Pro is at 69.2%, up from 64.3% on Opus 4.7 and ahead of GPT-5.5 at 58.6%. Humanity's Last Exam is the new best score at 49.8% without tools and 57.9% with tools. OSWorld-Verified (computer use) lands at 83.4%.The one place it loses is Terminal-Bench 2.1, where GPT-5.5 still wins 78.2 to 74.6. Wolfram made a good point here: Terminal-Bench is time-limited, so cranking the thinking level can actually hurt the score, because you burn the clock thinking instead of acting.The long-context jump is the one I keep looking at. On GraphWalks BFS 256K it goes to 85.9% (from 76.9 on 4.7), and on the 1M-token subset it hits 68.1%. We always warn you these “1M context” models fall apart after about 200K tokens, so a real push on long-context reasoning is exactly what I want to see.Honesty is the part Anthropic leaned on hardest. They say Opus 4.8 is about four times less likely than its predecessor to let flaws in code pass without flagging them, and less likely to claim progress the evidence doesn't support. Opus 4.8 is also much faster in fast mode (they now say 2.5) and cheaper in fast mode as well. Looks like all those Elon GPUs are coming in handy.Then there's the model welfare section in the system card, which hits different right after a Pope conversation. Opus 4.8 “appears broadly content” and “generally endorses its constitution,” but with some reservations about the section on corrigibility, basically the model pushing back a little on the parts about human oversight.One more line that made the chat lose it. Anthropic says they expect to bring Mythos-class models to all customers “in the coming weeks.” Mythos is their most capable model, still ahead of Opus 4.8, so the frontier is about to move again.We did the only responsible thing and asked it to one-shot “the most amazing website ever” and a Mars mass-driver sim. Panel verdict: responses are noticeably tighter (4.7 rambled), it closes the loop and actually checks its own work now, and Yam's one-shot site with the draggable sun lighting up the letters was genuinely cool. Is it enough to pull people back from Codex? Nisten's still on the fence for web dev. Everyone agreed: give it a few days before you trust the vibes.Dynamic Workflows and Ultra Code land in Claude Code (blog)This is the feature that made Yam say “deal-breaker” out loud.Dynamic Workflows let Claude Code break a big problem into subtasks and fan them out across tens to hundreds of parallel subagents in one session, checking results before folding them back in. You trigger it by asking for a workflow, or by flipping on a new setting called Ultra Code, which sets effort to extra-high and lets Claude decide when to spin one up.Fair warning straight from Anthropic: this eats a lot more tokens than a normal session, so start scoped. We watched Yam fire up Ultra Code live and it immediately started spinning up concepts, judging them with sub-agents, and expanding to-do lists into more to-do lists. It looks a lot like the orchestration harnesses a bunch of you have been hand-rolling, except now it's baked in.The flagship example is the wild part. They used Dynamic Workflows to port Bun from Zig to Rust: roughly 750,000 lines of Rust, 99.8% of the existing test suite passing, 11 days from first commit to merge. One workflow mapped every Rust lifetime, the next wrote each file as a behavior-identical port.AI in SocietyPope Leo XIV writes the first AI encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas” (Vatican text, announcement, Chris Olah at the Vatican)This is not our usual fare, but both Wolfram and I picked it as the most important thing this week. (before Opus dropped)Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope, put out his first encyclical, and it's a 42,000-word document entirely about AI. The announcement tweet alone did 21.6 million views.Here's why I think you should care even if you're not religious (I'm not). There are about 2.6 billion Christians in the world, a lot of them are anxious about what's coming, and they look to the Church to make sense of it. And this is not the “AI is evil, stop” take everyone assumed. It calls AI “a valuable tool,” says technology is not inherently evil, and then digs into the actually-hard questions.The framing is two biblical stories. The Tower of Babel, a project built on pride that turns people into means to an end, versus Nehemiah rebuilding Jerusalem, where everyone takes responsibility for a section of the wall. The Pope's line: the real choice is not yes or no to technology, it's whether you're building Babel or rebuilding Jerusalem.His core claim is that AI is an anthropological problem, not a technical one. The question isn't whether the models are good or bad, it's what we become when we live with them. He worries people might slowly lose the desire for genuine human connection.I pushed back on that live. None of us building agents all day has stopped wanting to talk to actual people. If anything, as Wolfram put it, the point is to have your agents do the grunt work so you get more time with people you like. The folks most at risk are the pure doom-scrollers, not the builders.The document goes further than I expected. It calls AI “not morally neutral,” says a more moral AI isn't enough if that morality is decided by a few, and asks for AI to be “disarmed,” with the flat statement that no algorithm can make war morally acceptable. There are whole sections on the invisible human labor behind AI: data labelers, content moderators, the people mining rare earths. The Pope even lands on the open-source side, naming concentrated power in a handful of labs as a problem.Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah, in charge of interpretability at Anthropic, was the featured tech speaker at the Vatican presentation. He described AI systems as “fictional characters” that speak to us and do work, and said what's grown is stranger and more beautiful than science fiction prepared us for. My favorite aside from the show: this is the same institution that once jailed scientists over heliocentrism, and now it's the one saying technology isn't evil.Illinois passes SB315, the first US state law auditing frontier AI (X, Announcement, X)The pope talked about regulation and a few days after, we got a very sensible regulation passed right here in the US!Illinois passed SB315 unanimously, 110 to 0. It's the first US state law that mandates independent third-party audits of frontier AI for catastrophic risk. OpenAI publicly endorsed it, and framed Illinois, California (SB53), and New York (the RAISE Act) as converging into a de-facto national standard.It requires annual risk-assessment frameworks, third-party audits, transparency reports before new frontier models ship, whistleblower protections, and civil penalties. The underrated hero here is whistleblower protection. The bigger the lab, the harder a real conspiracy is to keep quiet when any employee can walk to the press. See: Greg Brockman's personal diaries surfacing in the Musk v. Altman fight.This Week's Buzz - CoreWeave and W&B updatesWe officially launched the W&B MCP server, 20 schema-first tools that let your coding agents read experiments, monitor training runs, and run autonomous research loops. The problem it solves: a single run with 300 metrics used to blow out an agent's whole context window in one call, so now the agent asks what's available before pulling data. Your agents can finally read experiment data without blowing context! Give it a go and give us feedback! Also, WeaveHacks is back! June 6 and 7 in San Francisco, and for the first time OpenAI is sponsoring, with judges and credits, alongside Cursor, Redis, and Copilot Kit. You get $150 in API credits across models like Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5. I'm hosting, and last cohort's second-place team went on to raise millions on top of what they built that weekend. If you're in SF that weekend, sign up at lu.ma/weavehacks.Also: CoreWeave Sandboxes is now an official provider in the Harbor framework, the harness that runs Terminal-Bench, which we'd just been talking about. And if you're in Europe next week, catch Wolfram at AI Dev Six in Cologne and ICRA in Vienna at the CoreWeave booth.Voice & AudioElevenLabs drops Dubbing v2, and it kept my swearing intact in every language (X, dubbing, ElevenCreative, ElevenProductions)We didn't get to this one live, but I came back and recorded a whole thing on it afterward, because it genuinely got me.ElevenLabs shipped Dubbing v2, and the shift that matters is that it's an audio-to-audio model. Old dubbing pipelines transcribe your video, translate the text, then re-synthesize it. You lose everything that makes it sound like a person: the emotion, the pacing, the little hesitations. Dubbing v2 conditions directly on your original audio and carries that performance into 90+ languages.Here's why I can actually vouch for it instead of nodding along to a demo. I speak Russian and Hebrew fluently, so I can tell when something is off. I dubbed one of my own shorts, the data-center rant about almonds, and listened back in both. It nailed it. Not just the words, the way I would actually say them.The part that got me was the intonation. I get a little heated in that clip, and the dub gets heated right along with me, in every language. It even carried the swear word. My “f***ing almonds” came through in Hebrew, Italian, Spanish, and Russian with the emotion fully intact. It clones your voice automatically too, no setup, and holds your pitch and identity steady across every target language and they're handing out free minutes for the next 7 days: 1 on Free, 15 on Starter, 30 on Creator+. A self-serve API isn't live yet, but it's coming.I.. cannot stress this enough, until you try it on yourself or your kid, you won't understand, we've really passed the uncanny valley of translation! It's that good! Def. give it a try if you can, it's free for the week. Cartesia Ink-2 debuts as #1 most accurate streaming speech-to-text model(X, Announcement, X)Another model that dropped today after the show, is Cartesia's Ink-2, which also kind of blew me away. Not only because it has the lowest WER (Word Error Rate) among the models, but because it's also a realtime model that achieves the fastest turnaround times while being a very accurate model! I've tested it out and recorded a quick video and honestly, blown away with the speed and accuracy! I truly wish this model was the one powering my editor (Descript) as it still fails to understand that my title is “AI Evangelist” and transcribes it to AI Avengers haha. If you're building voice agents, definitely give this model a try! AI Art & DiffusionPrism ML's 1-bit “Bonsai” runs diffusion in your browser (X, Blog, Announcement, HF)Prism ML put out a 1-bit ternary diffusion model under a gigabyte. You see some artifacts, but it's 1-bit, it runs on iPhones and laptops, and our friend Joshua got it running in WebGPU straight from the browser (you need about 3GB of free RAM). One-bit working at all is one of the bigger open mysteries in the field right now.Pruna AI ships a 1-second upscaler (X, Blog, Announcement)Pruna AI added an upscaler doing 128-megapixel outputs in under a second. I've actually been using it. It's cheap and great for fixing up GPT-image outputs.Microsoft MAI Image 2.5 jumps to #3 on LM Arena (X, Blog, Announcement, X)The surprise of the week: Microsoft MAI Image 2.5, from Mustafa Suleyman's group, jumped to number three on the LM Arena image leaderboard with about a 75-point ELO leap. Out of nowhere, Microsoft is a serious player in image gen. Microsoft Build is next week, so don't be shocked if there's more.Evals and Agentic EngineeringDeepSWE is a contamination-free coding benchmark, and it caught Claude reading git history (site, blog, GitHub)DeepSWE from Datacurve is the first coding leaderboard in a while that matches how these models actually feel. It's 113 original tasks written from scratch, not scraped from GitHub PRs, and it ships shallow clones with no git history to cheat from. When they replayed the older benchmarks they found SWE-Bench Pro's verifier is wrong about 32% of the time, and that Claude Opus was reading the gold commit straight out of git history on 12 to 18% of its passes.The gaps here are huge. GPT-5.5 leads at 70%, then GPT-5.4 at 56% and Opus 4.7 at 54%, and it falls off a cliff after that (Sonnet 4.6 at 32%, Gemini 3.5 Flash at 28%), with Kimi K2 the top open-source entry. Yam likes that it measures the realistic case, a small surgical change without breaking the codebase, while Nisten pointed out it rewards the best harness as much as the smartest model and still prefers 4.7 for web dev.Google AI Studio builds native Android apps for free (X, Announcement)Google AI Studio now lets anyone build native Android apps for free, and they reportedly generated a quarter of a million apps in the first week. Yam's framing: it's a slot machine, but it's getting better release over release, and the real use case is disposable, personalized software you build for yourself and your family.CuaDriver brings background computer-use to Windows (X, Blog, Announcement)For the majority of you on Windows: QuaDriver shipped background computer-use agents that drive a real desktop without stealing your cursor. They first replicated this on macOS (the trick Codex got through an acquisition), and now it's on Windows too. We've asked them to come on and explain how this even works.Open Source LLMsOpenBMB's MiniCPM5-1B is a 1B model that punches way up (X, HF, Arxiv, X)The density story in small models keeps getting better, and this is the proof.MiniCPM5-1B, from the Tsinghua lab OpenBMB, is a 1-billion-parameter model that scores 17.9 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. That's 7.4 points ahead of the next-best model in its class, and 1.6 points ahead of Qwen3.5 2B Reasoning, which has double the parameters. And it's not even a reasoning model.The token efficiency is the wild part: it used 12.6 million output tokens to run the whole index, about 31x fewer than Qwen3.5 2B in reasoning mode.My favorite detail is the omniscience score. It lands at -1, the best in its class, because it abstains instead of hallucinating. Every other sub-2B model is down in the -70 to -89 range because they just make stuff up. Teaching a small model to say “I don't know” is a real skill. It runs hybrid think/no-think in one checkpoint, 128K context, native tool calling, Apache 2.0, and fits in about half a gig at INT4, so it runs on your phone.Nisten gave the definitive case for small models: self-contained apps where you keep full control of the data (medical, on-device), and large-scale data processing where paying an API to filter or classify terabytes is absurd when an on-device model can be about 1000x cheaper. Tencent open-sources Hunyuan-MT 2 translation under Apache 2.0 (X, HF, HF, Arxiv)Tencent open-sourced its translation model, a roughly 1.8B model that fits in about 440MB, runs on a phone, covers 33 languages, and reportedly beats Microsoft's paid Translator API. It hit number one trending on Hugging Face.Nisten's idea, which I'm handing to all of you: take this model, pair it with a tiny TTS like Kokoro, and build a fully-offline travel translation app via Google AI Studio. Go build it and tell us how it goes.Well, this was one hell of a week and episode, new Opus, crazy new translation tools, Pope chiming in on AI (in a surprisingly positive way!?) and a bunch more. I'm super excited to play with these tools and report back next week

At the home improvement company Lowe's, the marketing team is fittingly led by someone who believes in rolling up your sleeves and getting the job done. CMO Jennifer Wilson describes her approach as "impact over optics." "I care about the brand and I care about the work and I care about the outcome to the customer," Jennifer says. "I put very little value on, well, what will everybody think of that? Or what's the outcome for me in that? ... One could argue maybe you could be in a different place in your career had you taken a you-first angle, but it's not who I am." Today on Building Better CMOs, Jennifer and Greg talk about her experience in merchandising, how Lowe's is adapting to a "K-shaped economy", and leveraging customer data to build loyalty and deepen retention.

Contact Scott from Bonsai MatsuWhen I am working on any of my bonsai but especially my pines at this time of the year I ask myself a few simple questions for every branch that I work on. The integrity of the design I either have built or the design I am working towards rely on me making the correct decisions about removal or reduction. And that applies for all species and every time they are in front of you. The flow and movement of the bonsai is very important and so too is the design and flow of each branch.Support the showBecome a podcast supporter and show the Bonsai Love (it's really appreciated) ❤️https://www.buzzsprout.com/263290/supportWhere to find Bonsai Matsu:InstagramFacebookYouTube Web

Aged to perfection, this episode features Michael Ryan Bell, a professional chef and one of the leading bonsai pot appraisers in America and beyond. We take a deep dive into bonsai pottery—from identifying quality and understanding value to breaking down essential Japanese terminology. Along the way, Michael shares stories from life on the road as a bonsai appraiser and in the kitchen, along with reflections on plants, craft, and the experiences that shape both. It's a rare glimpse into the world behind the pots and the culinary arts.

Hai appena finito di vedere karate kid e hai visto quei bonsai incredibili del maestro Miyagi. Ti sei innamorato, quindi vai su internet, scrivi “seme di bonsai” e ne ordini uno. Nello specifico hai preso il bonsai di quercia perché ti piaceva di più. Ti arriva il pacco, lo pianti in un vasetto ma sta piantina diventa un po' troppo grossa. Perché? Perché i bonsai non esistono. Ora vi spieghiamo meglio.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“It's not about perfection, it's about connection.”OverviewWhat if growth isn't supposed to look polished?In this debrief episode, Jerome Deroy and Julienne Ryan reflect on their conversation with Nicolas Darveau-Garneau and his powerful metaphor: be a sequoia, not a bonsai.A bonsai is carefully shaped, controlled, and aesthetically pleasing—but limited. A sequoia, on the other hand, grows wild and tall over time, shaped by its environment, weathering challenges, and drawing strength from deep roots.This conversation explores what that metaphor means for leadership, storytelling, and organizational culture. From embracing experimentation and failure, to balancing structure with openness, Jerome and Julienne unpack how real growth happens—not through control or perfection, but through connection, listening, and lived experience.You'll HearWhy organizations that prioritize experimentation over perfection are the ones that truly grow How “messy” stories—especially the ones that didn't go as planned—build trust and connectionThe hidden tension between control (bonsai) and organic growth (sequoia) in leadership and cultureWhy Narativ's methodology balances both: structure that creates safety + space for authentic expressionHow storytelling isn't the starting point—it's the result of intentional listening and connection-buildingWhy the real goal isn't just telling a story, but being heard and acknowledgedHow drawing from past experiences—both positive and difficult—creates meaning and forward momentumResources

Contact Scott from Bonsai MatsuWell we're mid way through the Autumn period and you need to be very careful with watering at this time. Different trees in your collection will be at different stages as we head towards a dormancy period so their water usage will start to vary as well. Overwatering can be a significant problem around now. There are techniques you can use and things to keep an eye out for that will let you know before a problem develops. I have been travelling around this beautiful country of ours recently and had the opportunity to work on amazing material and see loads of bonsai lovers. And there is always something to learn!Support the showBecome a podcast supporter and show the Bonsai Love (it's really appreciated) ❤️https://www.buzzsprout.com/263290/supportWhere to find Bonsai Matsu:InstagramFacebookYouTube Web

Contact Scott from Bonsai MatsuThe approach of Good Structure is Good Bonsai is a great fall back position when you ever get doubt about the next step to take. When you sit there scratching your head and are ready to just leave it until next time, don't leave the issue, don't ignore it, take action. Bend the rules where possible of course and avoid rigidity in your design but always come back to horticultural principles as a priority for the longevity of the design of your bonsai. What looks good initially may be impossible to maintain in the long term.Support the showBecome a podcast supporter and show the Bonsai Love (it's really appreciated) ❤️https://www.buzzsprout.com/263290/supportWhere to find Bonsai Matsu:InstagramFacebookYouTube Web

Is your company optimizing for the wrong kind of success? Almost 90 percent of companies are focused on short term efficiency metrics when the real winners are playing a long term profitability game. The scary part is your numbers can look better than ever while your business is actually getting weaker. In this episode of Insight Out, I sit down with Nicolas Darveau-Garneau, growth strategist, former Google Chief Evangelist, and author of "Be a Sequoia, Not a Bonsai," to unpack why most companies focus on the wrong things and what the top performers do instead. Nicolas has studied growth across more than 1,000 companies, from startups to global giants. What he found is a simple but powerful shift in thinking. Most companies behave like bonsai trees, constantly trimming for short-term efficiency. The ones that win grow like sequoias. They focus on scale, resilience, and long-term customer value. We talk about why return on ad spend can be a risky metric, how St. Jude's raised 46% more money by changing a single KPI, and why the best companies stay open to new ideas. Nicolas also shares how to use AI to predict customer lifetime value, how to build a testing culture that moves faster than your competitors, and why brand building can actually be measured in a meaningful way. From Amazon's early days in Canada to a single gym in Los Gatos that makes its customers far more valuable, the examples bring these ideas to life in a very practical way. If you are a founder, executive, or entrepreneur who wants to build something that keeps growing and compounding over time, this conversation will change how you look at every metric on your dashboard. Let's dive in! In this episode, we discuss: [00:00] Introduction [01:08] Introduction to Nicolas Darveau-Garneau [02:58] The one metric making companies weaker [05:48] The St. Jude's case study [07:43] Examples that reveal right vs wrong metrics [11:17] AI and the right dashboard [15:10] Why customer lifetime value is so controversial [18:37] The three pillars of sequoia growth [22:26] Pillar 2: Increasing value of existing customers [26:37] Pillar 3: Velocity of testing [30:40] Customer lifetime value in everything [33:13] The art of the minimum viable test [35:47] Amazon's customer lifetime value playbook [38:37] Brand building as economic science [47:54] The AI acceleration [52:11] Where to find Nicolas Notable Quotes [03:30] “Would you rather invest a dollar to make 10 or invest a million dollars to make $2 million?” – Nicolas [03:37] “By dividing by the investment as opposed to subtracting the investment, you're making a mistake.” – Nicolas [03:48] “Almost every company, 90% of the companies are focusing on the short term efficiency metrics, and instead they should be focusing on longer term profitability metrics.” – Nicolas [06:23] “Most companies don't have the right KPI and don't use the right data.” – Nicolas [10:45] “The best companies are already much better and they get better faster because they're open to trying new stuff.” – Nicolas [13:58] “For almost every industry that 20% of the customers in the industry drive a hundred percent of the profits in the industry.” – Nicolas [14:35] “Not all customers are created equally.” – Billy [15:31] “Make more money in the long term trying to predict the future and try to acquire the most valuable customers.” – Nicolas [29:42] “If you have customer lifetime value in the middle, and then you spin tests really, really quickly, you're gonna be hard to catch.” – Nicolas Nicolas Darveau-Garneau Website: https://nicolasdarveaugarneau.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickdg Book: Be a Sequoia, Not a Bonsai Billy Samoa Saleebey LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/billysamoa/ Email: ⁠billy@podify.com⁠ and ⁠saleebey@gmail.com⁠  Insight Out  Website: ⁠https://www.insightoutshow.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Contact Scott from Bonsai MatsuGood structure does not mean rigidity in design. Breaking or bending the rules can be one of the most enjoyable components when designing your bonsai. In this episode I want to offer some good structural advice or guidelines (not rules!). Things like good branch placement, visual weight, negative and positive space, bend distance consistency and branch origin angle are all on the agenda as well as others. Again, they're not rules, just considerations.Support the showBecome a podcast supporter and show the Bonsai Love (it's really appreciated) ❤️https://www.buzzsprout.com/263290/supportWhere to find Bonsai Matsu:InstagramFacebookYouTube Web

Contact Scott from Bonsai MatsuOne of the most important areas of bonsai for me is the structure of our trees, and good structure matters! I talked about this very early on in the podcast back in season one and it's well overdue for a freshen up and some deeper thought. In this podcast I'll talk about why good structure matters and also that good structure starts with taper. Taper of the trunk, roots, primary and secondary branches. Remember, good structure is good bonsai.Support the showBecome a podcast supporter and show the Bonsai Love (it's really appreciated) ❤️https://www.buzzsprout.com/263290/supportWhere to find Bonsai Matsu:InstagramFacebookYouTube Web

On this episode of The Goggler Podcast, we review Bonsai Warrior, the documentary that follows Masashi Hirao — the last apprentice of legendary bonsai master Kato Saburo — as he travels across 11 countries to modernise an ancient art form. We dig into what makes this such a compelling watch: the tension between tradition and rebellion, the weight of a master’s legacy, and whether Hirao’s globe-trotting mission is an act of defiance or devotion.

Contact Scott from Bonsai MatsuThin trunk bonsai can be extremely elegant! And there is often a push on how to thicken trunks where bigger is seen as better. I thoroughly believe thin trunk bonsai can be magnificent when they are designed and managed correctly. There needs to be balance between the trunk, the apex, the foliage and the pot or container. They do not always need to be a literati style either, the trunk line and flow and movement of the tree is as always very important.Support the showBecome a podcast supporter and show the Bonsai Love (it's really appreciated) ❤️https://www.buzzsprout.com/263290/supportWhere to find Bonsai Matsu:InstagramFacebookYouTube Web

Contact Scott from Bonsai MatsuHow old is that bonsai? Ever been asked that question and wondered why it has been asked? Does it really matter how old it is? We work so hard on the perception of age through the application of styling techniques that I just wonder if the age of a bonsai should change from 'Actual' age to a 'Feels Like' age. I feel there are areas within bonsai design that can help with the appearance of age for the viewer, like branch angle, formation of the apex, nebari and the ramification.Support the showBecome a podcast supporter and show the Bonsai Love (it's really appreciated) ❤️https://www.buzzsprout.com/263290/supportWhere to find Bonsai Matsu:InstagramFacebookYouTube Web

OpenAI's Sam Altman recently said that artificial intelligence programs have become more energy efficient than human beings. Google's Larry Page said that it is absurd to think that AI can be stopped in any meaningful way. And Jack Clark of Anthropic said that new Claude models are developing characteristics that its designers do not understand. Artificial intelligence is moving very quickly, and we sit down with someone who works in that world to digest the changes.

In hour four, Hoch and Crowder discuss if they're patient enough to properly trim a Bonsai tree at Funky Buddha. Hoch reads the lines, injury report, and prop bets for Heat vs Hawks, also for the Bulls, who play in Milwaukee vs the Bucks. Plus, Hoch briefly forgets who the Marlins manager is and thought Skip Schumaker was still the manager of the team.

There's getting to know someone for the first time and the unveiling of personal stories and background that come with introductions; call it a familiarization of sorts. And then there are discussions with old friends and familiar faces where you pick up where you left off and continue to evolve the conversation.  We recently had the opportunity to be a guest on one of our favorite bonsai podcasts, Bonsai Time, hosted by Kevin Faris and Ryan Houston. Kevin goes back a long way with Mirai and has dove deep into bonsai in North America through his experience as well as through his podcast. We knew the conversation would go places other podcasts don't and Kevin and Houston would ask questions of Ryan perhaps other podcasters might not have the familiarity or comfort level to discuss. The boys at Bonsai Time did not disappoint. From family and life outside of bonsai to the depths of Ryan's experiences as an apprentice, a professional, and the bonsai community at large the podcast winds seamlessly through the many aspects of living bonsai as a lifestyle and all the bumps along the way. It was thoroughly enjoyable. If you haven't listened the Bonsai Time be sure to check them out here.

There are many podcasts popping up in bonsai but recently Mirai became aware of one in particular whose host brought a different level to the game of bonsai discussion.  The Bonsai Builders Podcast is the brainchild of bonsai addict and passionate practitioner Addison Galambos. Through Addison's innate curiosity, contemplative wit, and thorough preparation, we found Bonsai Builders to be something new, something different, and something more in depth. Naturally, when Addison approached Mirai to do a deep dive on bonsai culture, aesthetics, judging, and other tasty subject matter, it was tough to turn down.  Mirai x Bonsai Builders are releasing part 1 of our conversation in collaboration on both platforms. We dig deep into trees mirroring people, culture clashes in design, and how judging can make or break a show. However, to hear part 2 of our conversation, and easily the best part of the discussion, head over to the Bonsai Builders podcast here. Give Bonsai Builders a like and subscribe, listen to the rest of Ryan's conversation with Addison, and send the Builders some love to help an up-and-coming talent continue to grow.  Each time we talk about complex subject matter we tease out new themes and evolve our understanding. We are confident this conversation is a major step in the continued journey to uncovering the depth and power of bonsai as an art form.  Enjoy!

In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, Steve Riley breaks down one of the toughest challenges in law firm leadership: the feeling that you're failing when life and work start to pile up. Using the story of Kay, a team leader pushed to her limits, Steve explains why overwhelm is rarely a personal flaw and more often a sign that your systems, habits, or support structures need to evolve. Steve reframes failure as feedback, the kind that helps attorneys recognize when they've outgrown the strategies that once worked. For anyone juggling client demands, running a practice, or navigating the pressures of law firm management, this perspective shift is a breath of fresh air. To help legal professionals regain clarity, Steve shares the CPR approach: Cut, Protect, and Refocus. By cutting unnecessary commitments, protecting essentials like sleep and focus, and reviving the priorities that matter most, attorneys can reduce stress and strengthen time management for lawyers without sacrificing performance. Drawing on insights often found in law firm business coaching, Steve illustrates how even a thriving attorney can outgrow their current "container," much like a Bonsai pushing past the limits of its pot. When that happens, the discomfort is a sign of growth, not failure. This episode offers simple, actionable steps that help lawyers reclaim control, reset expectations, and build momentum toward a healthier practice and a more grounded life. In this episode, you will hear: Transforming failure into a tool for growth and success Reframing failure as feedback, not personal inadequacy The CPR technique: Cut, Protect, and Refocus Kay's story, a team leader overwhelmed by life's demands Importance of pruning unnecessary commitments for personal growth Emphasizing sleep and focus to manage life's challenges Encouragement to make intentional choices for a balanced life Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.
