Subscribe to Alli's New Substack - Wise Woman Method    You don't need a better planner, a 4 a.m. alarm, or a fresh pack of highlighters to change your life this year. What you really need is something deeper—a vision that pulls you forward instead of pressuring you from behind. A vision that's worth changing for.   Resolutions fixate on doing more, being better, running faster. They're rooted in lack, in the places you feel behind, in everything you think needs correcting. But vision? Vision shapes who you're becoming. It invites growth instead of shaming you into hustle.   And that one reframe changes everything. Today, we're diving into how to build a God-given vision that lasts longer than February and doesn't burn you out in the process. Not the white-knuckle kind, but the kind God grows in you step by step—steady, faithful, and full of hope.   Timestamps: (00:20) - Why Resolutions Burn Out & Vision Actually Sticks (03:03) - Resolutions Chase Results, Vision Shapes Identity (03:42) - Why Your Nervous System Pushes Back Against Massive Overhauls (04:24) - How Vision Creates Alignment Instead of More Hustle (07:25) - Practical, Doable Steps for Building a Meaningful Vision   WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE   Links to great things we discussed:    Catalyst Mastermind Alli's Makeup Recommendation - Sephora Colorful Waterproof Eyeshadow & Eyeliner Multi-Stick Start your Free 30-day trial of Uplift!

Insecurity, toxic environments, and poor self-awareness shaped my early years. I didn't understand myself, my mission, or the people around me — and it showed in my leadership, relationships, and decisions. Meet Guest Justin Long. This video is about the hard lessons that forced me to grow: Breaking free from insecurity and toxic patterns Understanding your purpose and personal mission Learning empathy instead of reacting from ego Building stronger teams and healthier relationships Serving clients and customers with real understanding If you've ever felt lost, misunderstood, or stuck repeating the same cycles, this video is for you.

Today, we're breaking down the architecture of aura. Aura isn't some mystical thing—it's the feeling or energy that surrounds a person, place, or thing, and we all feel it. The truth is, an aura is built, just like a house: your mindset is the foundation, your habits are the walls, and your composure is the roof. If any part is weak, your aura suffers. In this episode, I'll show you how to design your internal structure so your presence becomes undeniable. Show Notes: [03:07]#1 The foundation is mindset.  [07:01]#2 Building aura is in your daily disciplines habits [11:34]#3 The insulation. [13:44]#4 The Design is your physical presence. [15:00]#5 The atmosphere and the energetic transmission around you. [17:20] Recap Next Steps: --- Power Presence is not taught. It is enforced. If you are operating in environments where hesitation costs money, authority, or leverage, the Power Presence Mastermind exists as a controlled setting for discipline, execution, and consequence-based decision-making. Details live here: http://PowerPresenceProtocol.com/Mastermind  This Masterclass is the public record of standards. Private enforcement happens elsewhere.

Visit https://teachhoops.com/ for basketball coaching resources, practice plans, and tools designed to help you manage every aspect of your program, from X's and O's to student-athlete development. In this episode, we tackle two of the most challenging responsibilities that fall on high school basketball coaches: navigating player injuries and monitoring academic eligibility. These aren't just administrative tasks—they're fundamental to your duty of care as an educator and mentor who impacts young people's futures far beyond the basketball court. We discuss practical systems for injury prevention, communication protocols with athletic trainers and parents, and the difficult decisions around playing time when athletes are recovering. You'll learn how to create a culture where players feel safe reporting injuries rather than hiding them, and how to manage the pressure from parents, players, and even administrators when star athletes are sidelined. We also explore the critical importance of tracking academic progress throughout the season, not just at eligibility check dates, and strategies for intervening early when student-athletes start struggling in the classroom. This episode provides frameworks for balancing your competitive goals with long-term student welfare. We'll cover how to build relationships with teachers and counselors, create study hall structures that actually work, and communicate effectively with families when academic or injury concerns arise. Whether you're dealing with a player hiding a nagging ankle injury before playoffs or a senior whose eligibility hangs in the balance, you'll gain concrete strategies to handle these situations with wisdom, compassion, and accountability that serves your players' best interests. student-athlete injuries, academic eligibility basketball, injury management coaching, high school athlete academics, basketball injury prevention, coaching student welfare, athletic training communication, academic progress monitoring, student-athlete development, basketball coach responsibilities, injury protocol coaching, eligibility requirements, student-athlete success, coaching education balance, injury recovery timeline, academic intervention strategies, parent communication injuries, teacher collaboration coaching, student-athlete accountability, athletic academic support, concussion protocol basketball, playing injured athletes, grade monitoring system, study hall basketball, balancing sports academics, student-athlete health, coaching duty care, Wisconsin WIAA eligibility, high school coaching challenges, academic athletic balance Keys to a good offense What Are the Non-Negotiable Keys to Building an Effective Offense?

What if the most dangerous hackers are the ones who never touch a keyboard?

In this episode, Ron sits down with John Hammond, principal security researcher at Huntress and one of cybersecurity's most recognizable educators. John shares his journey from Coast Guard enlistee to YouTube creator, building an entire media company around ethical hacking.

Today's episode is the final installment of a series on setting (and achieving!) your goals. This week, we're talking about making an action plan - one that you'll actually follow through on. In this episode, I'm walking you through how to tackle a goal that is challenging for a lot of moms - simplifying weeknight dinners.You'll Learn:A simple 3-step process to creating a goal plan you can actually stick toReal-life examples of simple first stepsHow to make time for your goal and keep yourself accountableWhat to do when you get stuckIf you missed either of the previous episodes, go back and listen to the first two episodes about defining your goal and solving for obstacles. And be sure to grab the free workbook here.-----------------------------------------I once read that former Secretary of State, Madeline Albright, decided to go back to college when she had three small children. She did all of her schoolwork while in the car waiting for them at pickup. Proof that big goals are achieved through manageable, consistent actions.Throughout this series, I've used the example of my own 2026 goal to publish a book to illustrate this goal process. Today, I'm tackling a goal that is a little more relatable for most moms - simplifying weeknight dinners.3 Steps to Defining Your PlanStep 1: Do a brain dumpStart by rewriting your goal, so you'll keep it top of mind. Then, write down anything you can think of that will help you make progress toward your goal. What are all the things you could do in order to make your goal happen?Brain dumps are the time to get EVERYTHING out on paper. There are no bad ideas in this stage. No editing, just brainstorming.Think about what will keep you accountable, too. When I started my podcast, one of my action items was to share my goal with others. Don't keep your goal a secret. When other people know what you're working toward, they can check in and cheer you on. Step 2: Choose your first small stepEmphasis on SMALL. The goal here is to start taking action without getting overwhelmed. Taking the first step will help you build momentum to keep going.When in doubt, start small - small, simple actions, small chunks of time. These are much easier to stick to than big, lofty goals that leave you with a feeling of dread.Step 3: Chunk your goal into phasesThere are a few phases that are common to most goals. They'll look different depending on what you're working toward, but the overall concept is the same. In the beginning of a goal, you probably won't be sure what to do or which approaches will work best for you. There's a lot to figure out, and your actions will take longer at the beginning. As you continue taking action, you'll build routines and momentum, until your goal starts to feel easy.Getting started - This is the foundation. Start by looking at what's already working. What have you already achieved in this area that you can build on?Building momentum

Message us here!Well, 2025 is almost over and by all accounts, it was one of the hardest for mental health across America. The past year felt like emotional sandpaper: unstable jobs, AI anxiety, and a constant stream of obligations that made even simple days feel crowded. Beneath all that noise, a quieter force did much of the damage: loneliness. In this episode, Dr. Kibby unpacks why January often hits hardest after the holidays, why being surrounded by people can still feel empty, and how one-way relationships quietly burn us out.Dr. Kibby discusses a candid look at over-giving, how being so focused on other people can lead to a sneaky sense of loneliness. She breaks loneliness into three solvable parts: 1. Building real emotional support, 2. Being seen for who we really are, and 3. Restoring reciprocity so care flows both ways. She also talks about finding community where you might not expect it. If your local circle doesn't yet hold the parts of you that crave air, that's a bridge, not a dead end. The goal isn't more social plans; it's richer resonance. By focusing on one small habit each week (one ask, one honest share, one reciprocal ritual) you can turn the quiet of January into a reset for connection.Happy new year, Little Helpers.

#733 What if the biggest thing holding your business back isn't strategy or execution — but the identity you're operating from? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with Cassie Shea, founder of The Possibility Investor, to unpack what it really means to iterate with your identity as a business owner. Cassie shares how her journey from running a $14M company at 28 to logging 3,500+ coaching hours shaped her core framework: Desire → Deserving → Decisions — starting with the deceptively hard question, “What do you want?” Together, they explore why so many entrepreneurs hit an invisible “deserve ceiling,” how proving energy can quietly drive (and drain) growth, and how constraints — like health, seasons of life, or boredom — can become the catalyst for smarter, more sustainable business evolution. Cassie also previews her free 3D Assessment and where listeners can connect with her as she launches The Possibility Investor! What we discuss with Cassie: + Identity-driven business growth + Iterating with your identity + Desire → Deserving → Decisions framework + The “deserve ceiling” + Proving vs. creating + Boredom as a signal + Constraints fuel creativity + Building beyond scarcity + Frameworks over hustle Thank you, Cassie!

In this episode of Living Off Rentals, host Kirby Atwell sits down with Stephen Arnaud, an engineer, W-2 employee, and father of three, who's intentionally building his path out of the 9-to-5 through short-term rentals. Stephen shares why, even though he enjoys his career, the demands of a W-2 job started to conflict with family life and long-term freedom. Like many high-performing professionals, he realized that traditional investing alone wasn't going to give him the flexibility he wanted anytime soon. That realization led him to short-term rentals.

Building lasting health starts when daily choices reflect the identity of someone who values movement, strength, and steady energy. Fitness becomes easier when it stops feeling temporary and starts feeling normal. Habits form through repeated behavior, not motivation. Confidence grows after consistency, not before it.  Long term results come from living the habits now, allowing progress to unfold naturally through aligned daily decisions rather than chasing a finish line.

From building LMArena in a Berkeley basement to raising $100M and becoming the de facto leaderboard for frontier AI, Anastasios Angelopoulos returns to Latent Space to recap 2025 in one of the most influential platforms in AI—trusted by millions of users, every major lab, and the entire industry to answer one question: which model is actually best for real-world use cases? We caught up with Anastasios live at NeurIPS 2025 to dig into the origin story (spoiler: it started as an academic project incubated by Anjney Midha at a16z, who formed an entity and gave grants before they even committed to starting a company), why they decided to spin out instead of staying academic or nonprofit (the only way to scale was to build a company), how they're spending that $100M (inference costs, React migration off Gradio, and hiring world-class talent across ML, product, and go-to-market), the leaderboard delusion controversy and why their response demolished the paper's claims (factual errors, misrepresentation of open vs. closed source sampling, and ignoring the transparency of preview testing that the community loves), why platform integrity comes first (the public leaderboard is a charity, not a pay-to-play system—models can't pay to get on, can't pay to get off, and scores reflect millions of real votes), how they're expanding into occupational verticals (medicine, legal, finance, creative marketing) and multimodal arenas (video coming soon), why consumer retention is earned every single day (sign-in and persistent history were the unlock, but users are fickle and can leave at any moment), the Gemini Nano Banana moment that changed Google's market share overnight (and why multimodal models are becoming economically critical for marketing, design, and AI-for-science), how they're thinking about agents and harnesses (Code Arena evaluates models, but maybe it should evaluate full agents like Devin), and his vision for Arena as the central evaluation platform that provides the North Star for the industry—constantly fresh, immune to overfitting, and grounded in millions of real-world conversations from real users. We discuss: The $100M raise: use of funds is primarily inference costs (funding free usage for tens of millions of monthly conversations), React migration off Gradio (custom loading icons, better developer hiring, more flexibility), and hiring world-class talent The scale: 250M+ conversations on the platform, tens of millions per month, 25% of users do software for a living, and half of users are now logged in The leaderboard illusion controversy: Cohere researchers claimed undisclosed private testing created inequities, but Arena's response demolished the paper's factual errors (misrepresented open vs. closed source sampling, ignored transparency of preview testing that the community loves) Why preview testing is loved by the community: secret codenames (Gemini Nano Banana, named after PM Naina's nickname), early access to unreleased models, and the thrill of being first to vote on frontier capabilities The Nano Banana moment: changed Google's market share overnight, billions of dollars in stock movement, and validated that multimodal models (image generation, video) are economically critical for marketing, design, and AI-for-science New categories: occupational and expert arenas (medicine, legal, finance, creative marketing), Code Arena, and video arena coming soon Consumer retention: sign-in and persistent history were the unlock, but users are fickle and earned every single day—"every user is earned, they can leave at any moment" — Anastasios Angelopoulos Arena: https://lmarena.ai X: https://x.com/arena Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction: Anastasios from Arena and the LM Arena Journey 00:01:36 The Anjney Midha Incubation: From Berkeley Basement to Startup 00:02:47 The Decision to Start a Company: Scaling Beyond Academia 00:03:38 The $100M Raise: Use of Funds and Platform Economics 00:05:10 Arena's User Base: 5M+ Users and Diverse Demographics 00:06:02 The Competitive Landscape: Artificial Analysis, AI.xyz, and Arena's Differentiation 00:08:12 Educational Value and Learning from the Community 00:08:41 Technical Migration: From Gradio to React and Platform Evolution 00:10:18 Leaderboard Delusion Paper: Addressing Critiques and Maintaining Integrity 00:12:29 Nano Banana Moment: How Preview Models Create Market Impact 00:13:41 Multimodal AI and Image Generation: From Skepticism to Economic Value 00:15:37 Core Principles: Platform Integrity and the Public Leaderboard as Charity 00:18:29 Future Roadmap: Expert Categories, Multimodal, Video, and Occupational Verticals 00:19:10 API Strategy and Focus: Doing One Thing Well 00:19:51 Community Management and Retention: Sign-In, History, and Daily Value 00:22:21 Partnerships and Agent Evaluation: From Devon to Full-Featured Harnesses 00:21:49 Hiring and Building a High-Performance Team

Zach (first-generation) and Kacie (fifth-generation) Scherler-Abney are ranchers operating Re:Farm and Re:Supply in Cotton and Tillman Counties in southwest Oklahoma, running a cow-calf herd with some stockers while also managing land for others and operating retail stores in Norman, Oklahoma and Wichita Falls, Texas.  In This Episode, We Explore:  - How a personal health scare led them back to the family place and into raising their own food  - Using an autoimmune protocol diet as a catalyst to question food labels and sourcing  - Learning regenerative grazing through books, YouTube, and early hands-on trial and error  - Grazing in a more brittle, variable rainfall environment in southwest Oklahoma and north Texas  - Ultra high-density, non-selective grazing and why recovery time is the key variable for them  - What polywire taught them, and why quality of life and labor forced a change  - Building water systems with HDPE poly pipe, quick couplers, and central lanes for flexibility  - Leasing strategies including Oklahoma state school land (CLO) and BIA tribal land leases  - Transitioning to Halter virtual fencing and what changed in daily management and stress  - How their cattle buying philosophy shifted to phenotype, productivity, and pounds per acre  - Marketing reality checks: balancing direct-to-consumer beef with current sale barn economics  - Why they built brick-and-mortar stores and how non-perishables help stabilize cash flow  - Community-building through retail and sourcing other local products beyond their own beef  Why This Episode Matters  This conversation is a practical look at matching grazing goals to real life, especially when labor, family time, leases, and cash flow are all limiting factors. Zach and Kacie share what worked, what wore them out, what they changed, and how they think about staying flexible without abandoning the core principles that keep land and livestock improving.  Resources Mentioned  - Halter virtual fencing system  - Passon quick couplers  - Oklahoma Commissioners of the Land Office (CLO) grazing leases  - Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) grazing leases  Find Out More  - Instagram | re:farm  - Website | Re:Farm Market  - Facebook | Re:Farm  Looking for Livestock that thrive on grass?  Check out Grass Based GeneticsUpcoming Grazing EventsVisit our Sponsors:Noble Research InstituteRedmond AgricultureGrazing Grass LinksWebsiteCommunity (on Facebook)Original Music by Louis Palfrey
