Summer vacation is in full swing, and we've got the perfect episode to help you beat the heat as we light the fires and kick the tires of 1981's THE BURNING! Along the way, we ask why on earth this movie would have a cult following, discuss why so many doctors want to convince Cropsy to let the past go, debate what the killer's plan often boils down to “lie down in a canoe for hours,” and examine how the entire movie manages to evoke the mindset of its convicted criminal's writer/producer. All this, plus spliced-in lightning, dressing like Darkman, fire tumbles, constant leering, inexplicable rope, elder interning, two-pump chumps, and a garden shear-heavy edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!

Will Bain is joined by Nga Pham in Hanoi and Takara Small in Toronto. Following the latest results from Alphabet and Tesla, both companies are under pressure to sustain spending as competition in artificial intelligence intensifies. Is Wall Street beginning to question the cost of the AI race? Plus, the mounting economic impact of Canada's wildfires, why ketchup-flavoured crisps have become such a uniquely Canadian phenomenon, and what Donald Trump's renewed tariff negotiations could mean for global trade.Presenter: Will Bain Producer: David CannYou can email the team: businessdaily@bbc.co.uk(The Google logo on the Google house at the CES consumer electronics trade show, in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S. January 10, 2024.

We're going back to basics in this week's episode. While Geek Warning is usually for tech-obsessed cyclists, this edition covers the common conversations a bicycle mechanic would have with a client. It's for everyone and anyone who does a little of their own bike maintenance. Many road cyclists are still relatively new to disc brakes, so Jack Duncan and Dave Rome start the episode with a deep dive into many facets of ownership. The basics of chain lube and drivetrain wear are covered later on, as are some thoughts about tyre wear and who tubeless may be right for. After all that, members of Escape Collective get the usual Ask a Wrench segment, this time with the return of a familiar voice.

At 16, his grandmother fled Kraków after the Nazis killed her father, worked a New York factory floor beside her mother, and applied to every medical school in the state three years running before one finally said yes — then told her second-grade grandson that education is the only thing nobody can ever take away from him.Years later, David Rogier quit his venture capital job with no idea what he wanted to build, and his boss wrote him a check for $500,000 and told him to go think of something; the dark, formless year that followed became MasterClass, whose holding company still carries his grandmother's nickname. Launch day brought so few sales that he went home and cried, and by day four it was obvious he had a real business on his hands. In this conversation, David breaks down how he got Hollywood's biggest names to say yes, why he believes degrees and résumés are quickly becoming worthless, and the three kinds of jobs he thinks will actually survive AI. David Rogier is the founder and CEO of MasterClass, the platform that put instruction from Martin Scorsese, Christina Aguilera, Steph Curry, and dozens of other world-class practitioners into the hands of millions of learners. He built it from a single $500,000 check and has since launched MasterClass Executive, an AI-native alternative to the traditional MBA created in collaboration with OpenAI and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

For a week straight, Andrew watched his own sky turn orange outside Toronto as smoke from nearly 900 wildfires burning across Canada, most of them following the boreal forest from the east coast to Northwestern Ontario, drifted south into the US and back again. He walks through what actually happened on the ground: which towns and First Nations were evacuated, how bad the air quality got (Toronto briefly had the worst AQI in the world), and why northwestern Ontario, not a hugely populated area but home to vulnerable First Nations communities, bore the brunt of it. Then he digs into why this keeps happening. Most of Ontario's fires this season were sparked by lightning, not arson, despite conspiracy theories claiming otherwise (arson accounts for well under a quarter of cases). An active El Nino is drying things out further, and climate change is intensifying the underlying heat and dryness that let these fires spread. Andrew also connects the dots to the ocean directly: the boreal forest is one of the planet's biggest carbon sinks, and when it burns that stored carbon heads into the atmosphere, where roughly a quarter of it eventually gets absorbed by the ocean, driving further acidification. The back half of the episode gets political. Ontario slashed its emergency firefighting budget from $271 million spent in 2025-26 down to $150 million budgeted for 2026-27, even as Premier Doug Ford defends the province's readiness. Meanwhile, US President Trump and several senators have floated tariffs and sanctions against Canada over the smoke, a move Andrew calls scientifically and diplomatically backwards given how often Canada and the US send firefighters and equipment across the border to help each other. He closes with concrete steps listeners can take, from checking air quality indexes to contacting elected officials about wildfire funding. Takeaways From the Episode Nearly 900 wildfires were burning across Canada as of July 16, most following the boreal forest belt into Northwestern Ontario. Vulnerable First Nations communities and small towns bore the brunt of evacuations, some residents had to self-evacuate by boat or air with little warning. Most fires were lightning-caused, not arson, arson accounts for well under a quarter of cases despite online conspiracy theories. Burning boreal forest releases stored carbon into the atmosphere, and roughly a quarter of human-caused CO2 emissions get absorbed by the ocean, tying wildfires directly to ocean acidification. Ontario cut its baseline emergency firefighting budget from $271 million spent to $150 million budgeted for the coming year, a proactive-versus-reactive funding problem. US tariffs and sanctions threats against Canada over the smoke ignore how often the two countries help each other fight fires, including the loss of a Canadian firefighter in Colorado this year. Individual actions still matter: check air quality indexes before extended time outdoors, follow evacuation orders immediately if you're in a fire zone, keep a 72-hour go bag ready, and contact your elected officials if wildfire underfunding frustrates you.

In 1895, Bridget Cleary — young, educated, and a little too stylish for County Tipperary's liking — fell ill with a fever. Within days, her husband and neighbours had convinced themselves she'd been taken by the fairies and a changeling left in her place. What followed was a week of forced "cures," a hot poker, and a fire. Drawing on Angela Bourke's The Burning of Bridget Cleary, this episode traces how a community's belief in the good people curdled into horror — and sets up the trial that would follow.

Hello Interactors,As Canadian and Alaskan wildfire smoke drifts across North American borders, it's easy to resort to feelings and language of crisis in the demand for urgent, immediate control. But fires are not new to these landscapes, and this “crisis” sits alongside others that are also on fire. Climate crises events bring into focus which histories we forget, whose knowledge we ignore, and which relationships we disrupt. Turns out it's happening at a cellular level too. The real danger is a world and ecology changing so quickly, and understood so narrowly, that it erases the very temporal patterns, memories, and ecological relationships that make adaptation possible.FIRE'S FRACTURED FREQUENCYThe climate crisis is often communicated through rising averages. We read of climbing global temperatures, sea levels, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, and acres burned. These measurements are indispensable, but averages can make crisis feel distant and abstract. In a forest, climate change is also experienced as an altered interval — as too little time between one disturbance and the next.A forest is not a passive surface. It actively shapes its own microclimate, stores carbon, and retains moisture until fire temporarily disrupts these relationships…and in doing so creates new ones.To understand what shorter fire intervals are doing to Alaska's boreal forests, ecologist Xanthe Walker and an interdisciplinary team of researchers examined carbon storage and forest recovery across 555 plots associated with thirty-one fires. They compared stands with different fire histories, including sites that had burned repeatedly before black spruce forests could fully recover. The absolute amount of carbon released by individual fires was broadly similar across fire-return intervals, but recently burned landscapes began with smaller remaining carbon pools and therefore lost a greater proportion of what remained. Repeated burning also consumed more legacy carbon — the carbon inherited from earlier vegetation and accumulated soils — and reduced the likelihood that some sites would regenerate as black spruce forest. Fire was doing more than releasing carbon in the present. By interrupting regeneration, it was weakening the landscape's capacity to store carbon in the future (Walker et al., 2025).Black spruce forests are not merely tolerant of fire but have evolved with stand-replacing fire as a recurring part of their life cycle. Their cones evolved to be little seed bombs that stay in the trees and release their seeds when they burn. This helps new trees grow on the ground where they're not protected by the canopy. That strategy works when fires recur at intervals long enough for stands to mature, rebuild their seed stocks, and accumulate biomass. Historically, boreal fire-return intervals commonly ranged from about seventy to 130 years. Black spruce may require roughly fifty years to produce enough seed for self-replacement. Yet intervals of less than thirty years are becoming more common in some areas, allowing another fire to arrive before recovery is complete (Walker et al., 2025).Under those conditions, fire can push regeneration away from black spruce toward deciduous vegetation or more open landscapes. Such places may remain biologically productive, but they are no longer the same forests. They store carbon, retain moisture, shelter organisms, but also carry subsequent fires differently. The landscape may not simply return to its former state after disturbance; it may cross into another ecological regime, organized by different species, intervals, and feedback loops.MEMORY, MEANING, AND MALLEABILITYIt is tempting to call such transformations unprecedented. In some measurable respects, they are. We know Industrial greenhouse-gas emissions are rapidly altering atmospheric and ecological systems on a planetary scale, and the effects are not confined to normal oscillations around once-familiar conditions. The rate, direction, and geographic concentration of change effects forests adapted to fire and may be unable to adjust when fire's frequency exceeds the time needed for reproduction and recovery.The fact that Earth has always changed does not make the present disruption ordinary. But neither does the climate crisis mark the first time people have faced the collapse of an expected environmental order. Many humans didn't survive the Little Ice Age, but many did.For many Indigenous peoples, colonization produced generations of forced displacement, altered fire and water regimes, destroyed food systems, suppressed governance, and separated communities from ancestral lands. What dominant institutions now describe as an unprecedented disruption may appear within Indigenous histories as another transformation imposed by powers that have long treated land, water, plants, animals, and people as resources to be reorganized.The word crisis can therefore describe an observable material condition while concealing a historical one. The flames are real, but so are the questions of who altered the landscape, whose losses are treated as new, who is expected to adapt, and who gets to define recovery. Potawatomi scholar Kyle Whyte challenges this framing, arguing that a dominant “epistemology of crisis” treats environmental disruptions as radically new, imminent threats (Whyte, 2021). This framing isolates the crisis from historical contexts of colonialism, allowing institutions to justify urgent, top-down actions that bypass local consent and justice under the guise of emergency.That framing carries two recurring assumptions. The first is unprecedentedness — the belief that the past contains few usable precedents or lessons for present conditions. The second is urgency — the belief that immediate action may justify setting aside ordinary concerns about consent, justice, and responsibility. Whyte's intervention exposes how crisis language can obscure Indigenous histories of displacement and adaptation while allowing new forms of dispossession to proceed in the name of emergency responses (Whyte, 2021).Whyte is not arguing that climate change is unreal or that rapid action is unnecessary. He is asking what calls for urgency and emergency action leads people to overlook or forget.When the present is imagined as unprecedented, earlier crises become difficult to see. Climate-related relocation may be narrated as a novel problem even though Indigenous nations have extensive experience with forced removal, shrinking territories, flooding, and government-directed resettlement. Declaring the current moment historically unique can erase not only previous violence but also knowledge formed through surviving it.Whyte contrasts crisis epistemology with an “epistemology of coordination.” Coordination begins not with novelty but with constant change. It asks whether the relationships needed to respond remain intact. Those relationships take the form of kinship and mutual responsibilities, including care, consent, and reciprocity. They generate what Whyte calls the “responsible capacity to respond to constant change” (2021, p. 52).This is a big geophilosophical change in how we think about the world. Adaptation isn't just about an organism or group of organisms changing to fit their environment, it's also about how things are connected, like people, places, history, and processes (the primary focus of Interplace). Fire isn't just about heat progressively burning through plants. It depends on things like how old the trees are, how much moisture there is in the soil, how many seeds are available, if there have been any fires before, what the weather is like, and the rules and laws that people have made about how to handle fire. What the forest looks like after a fire depends on which relationships are still around.The same is true of human communities. Memory is not merely a record of what happened. It is part of the infrastructure of adaptation. It carries knowledge of earlier disturbances, durable practices, failed interventions, and obligations extending beyond the present generation. A society that repeatedly labels each disruption unprecedented may collect and reason over immense quantities of data while remaining unable — or unwilling — to learn from other histories.CELLS, CUES, AND CONTINGENCYThe adaptive value of memory may reach far deeper into life than culture or nervous systems. Evolutionary biologists Maor Knafo, Elena Casacuberta, and Iñaki Ruiz-Trillo begin a recent study with the observation that “one of life's most remarkable features is its persistent and adaptive resilience in the face of constant environmental fluctuations” (2026, p. 1). They investigated whether a single-celled organism could use an environmental cue to anticipate future stress rather than responding only after that stress arrived.Cells exposed to a predictable light and vibration cue before heat stress experienced a 12 percent mortality rate, compared to a 27 percent mortality rate for cells subjected to unpredictable, random cues. The cells didn't just adapt to the heat; they learned to anticipate it, demonstrating that even single-celled life relies on temporal regularities to survive.The authors paired this experiment with a computational model. A nonlearning “blind” agent could adapt only through genetic mutation and selection across generations. A learning agent could also revise its phenotypic strategy within its lifetime, exploring alternatives when earlier responses performed poorly. In predictable environments, learning agents achieved higher fitness because they could use environmental cues to prepare for approaching conditions.The study does not demonstrate that cells reason as humans do. Nor does a cellular experiment prove a general philosophy of life. It does, however, offer evidence that even single cells can exploit temporal regularities in their surroundings. Adaptation is not always a passive process through which an external environment selects among fixed organisms. Organisms detect, respond to, and sometimes anticipate the worlds they inhabit.The model also showed that flexibility has its limits. As the simulated environment became more unpredictable, the benefits of learning started to fade. After a certain point, the cues that used to predict what would happen next didn't work as well. Keeping things flexible came with a cost, because it didn't give them any clear guidance. In the end, simpler, fixed strategies performed better. When the environment suddenly changed, the learning agents first took a big hit because their expectations had become useless. But their flexibility eventually helped them bounce back, but it also meant they made mistakes, got confused, and took time to adjust. (Knafo et al., 2026).Let's not get carried away with the comparisons. A forest isn't a Bayesian agent, and Indigenous knowledge can't be boiled down to simple conditioning. They're different forms of life, knowledge, and organization. What they do have in common is this shared principle: adaptation relies on meaningful patterns connecting past experiences to future situations.A black spruce forest can recover from a fire when trees have time to grow and produce seeds. A cell can prepare for heat when it anticipates it. A community can adapt when things change, remembering past actions, taking responsibility, and maintaining relationships. Resilience arises from a symbiotic relationship between living things and their environment. Life's resilience isn't innate. It's more that it stems from memory, prediction, adaptation, and readiness…until the world's race surpasses its ability to keep pace.RELATIONSHIPS, RECOVERY, AND RESPONSIBILITYGeographer Karen Bickerstaff warns against the dominance of a “catastrophic gaze” that portrays climate change as an imminent, universal threat (Bickerstaff, 2026). While planetary measurements are indispensable, this abstract framing can paralyze political agency, reducing people to passive spectators awaiting either inevitable collapse or a far-off technological rescue (Bickerstaff, 2026). Although our atmosphere is shared, climate exposure, responsibility, and adaptive capacity remain radically uneven. The crisis is planetary in cause, but it is lived and experienced through particular bodies, infrastructures, and local ecosystems.This planetary abstraction often fosters a form of “cruel optimism” — a reliance on grand technological promises like geoengineering or carbon-removal systems that allow us to avoid changing our politics or holding powerful actors accountable (Bickerstaff, 2026). The dangers of these universal, top-down approaches are highly visible in fire governance. Simple, blanket policies — such as total fire suppression or restrictive carbon-offset projects — frequently ignore the diverse ecological histories of fire and displace Indigenous burning practices, which ultimately increases the flammability of the landscape.In contrast to these universalizing fixes, true responsibility must preserve and restore the unique capacities of particular systems to respond to change. This is where Kyle Whyte's epistemology of coordination can turn to practice. His push is for climate action to strengthen the relationships — such as consent, reciprocity, and intergenerational obligations. This is what is his ancestors practiced surviving constant change (Whyte, 2021).Instead of top-down emergency responses that make justice disposable in the name of speed, we need “situated action” (Bickerstaff, 2026). While individuals cannot act on a planetary scale, they can act meaningfully within their own watersheds, neighborhoods, and local political coalitions. Climate action becomes durable not when it chases abstract global targets, but when it visibly improves local health, restores specific ecosystems, and corrects immediate injustices (Bickerstaff, 2026).This is not an argument for delay. Emissions do need to fall (leading to innumerable benefits), but urgency cannot excuse us from asking what kind of world our interventions produce. The task is to connect scales without allowing the global to erase the particular. A mature black spruce indeed stores carbon, but it also stores decades of growth, fungal relationships, and a history of fire and recovery. When fire returns too soon, the forest loses not just biomass, but time. Climate responsibility begins here. Not in the fantasy of holding a restless Earth still, but in preserving the intervals, relationships, and possibilities through which living systems can continue to adapt.REFERENCESBickerstaff, K.

Thoughts and Lessons on the Parsha and the 9 Days.
Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a [self-confident] fool. 2 Like the sparrow in her wandering, like the swallow in her flying, so the causeless curse does not alight. 3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a [straight, slender] rod for the backs of [self-confident] fools. 4 Answer not a [self-confident] fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him. 5 Answer a [self-confident] fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes and conceit. 6 He who sends a message by the hand of a [a]fool cuts off the feet [of satisfactory delivery] and drinks the damage. 7 Like the legs of a lame man which hang loose, so is a parable in the mouth of a fool. 8 Like he who binds a stone in a sling, so is he who gives honor to a [self-confident] fool. 9 Like a thorn that goes [without being felt] into the hand of a drunken man, so is a proverb in the mouth of a [self-confident] fool. 10 [But] like an archer who wounds all, so is he who hires a fool or chance passers-by. 11 As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly. 12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes and conceit? There is more hope for a [self-confident] fool than for him. 13 The sluggard says, There is a lion in the way! A lion is in the streets! 14 As the door turns on its hinges, so does the lazy man [move not from his place] upon his bed. 15 The slothful and self-indulgent buries his hand in his bosom; it distresses and wearies him to bring it again to his mouth. 16 The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes and conceit than seven men who can render a reason and answer discreetly. 17 He who, passing by, stops to meddle with strife that is none of his business is like one who takes a dog by the ears. 18 Like a madman who casts firebrands, arrows, and death, 19 So is the man who deceives his neighbor and then says, Was I not joking? 20 For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, contention ceases. 21 As coals are to hot embers and as wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome man to inflame strife. 22 The words of a whisperer or slanderer are like dainty morsels or words of sport [to some, but to others are like deadly wounds]; and they go down into the innermost parts of the body [or of the victim's nature]. 23 Burning lips [uttering insincere words of love] and a wicked heart are like an earthen vessel covered with the scum thrown off from molten silver [making it appear to be solid silver]. 24 He who hates pretends with his lips, but stores up deceit within himself. 25 When he speaks kindly, do not trust him, for seven abominations are in his heart. 26 Though his hatred covers itself with guile, his wickedness shall be shown openly before the assembly. 27 Whoever digs a pit [for another man's feet] shall fall into it himself, and he who rolls a stone [up a height to do mischief], it will return upon him. 28 A lying tongue hates those it wounds and crushes, and a flattering mouth works ruin.

I came across a quote that stopped me cold: if you ask the grass, the zebra is the monster and the lion is the protector. That single idea cracked open something important about how we evaluate our own lives, our fears, and our opportunities. The lens you choose to look through determines whether something looks like a threat or a gift, a setback or a setup. In this episode, I walk through how Hollywood directors use filters to manufacture emotion and how you are doing the exact same thing to yourself every single day. Change the filter and you change what becomes possible. Key Takeaways Perspective is not fixed. The same situation looks completely different depending on who or what is asking the question. Fear of something does not mean you lack ability. It often means you have not yet found the lens through which that thing becomes exciting. Patiently progressive is the real model of peak performance. Burning energy on every good opportunity leaves nothing for the great ones. The filter you place over your life determines the emotion you feel and the actions you take. Fear and failure filters amplify everything that could go wrong. You must define what greatness looks like for you specifically. Without that clarity, you waste energy chasing smaller goals that pull you off course. Action Steps Identify one thing you currently fear or avoid, then find someone who genuinely loves it and study the specific perspective they use to frame it. Write down your version of 'great' in one clear sentence so you can recognize and ignore the good opportunities that will distract you from it. The next time you feel discomfort, physically stop and name a reframe. Ask yourself what a person who sees opportunity here would say about this exact moment. Notable Quote When you look at your opportunities through a lens of fear, through a lens of failure, through a lens of worry, you're going to see an amplified version of everything that could go wrong. But you have the ability right now to simply change that lens.

Everyone in marketing has been told to do more with AI, but almost nobody is asking what that volume actually costs. In this episode of Content Amplified, Karen Cooper, Director of Marketing for the content experience team at Wolters Kluwer Health, shares what she is learning from the LinkedIn polls she is running ahead of her talk at B2B Ignite. The results surprised her: when teams are pushed to move faster, the first thing sacrificed is not creative quality, it is clarity on priorities. And the biggest threat to A plus work is not a lack of creative time, it is last minute requests. Karen explains why the do-more era is creating what one Superside report calls a new kind of burnout, a human problem rather than a technology problem, how to keep creative people from becoming order takers, and why leaders have to push back when volume stops moving the needle. If you lead a creative team in the AI era, this conversation puts words to the strain you are feeling, and offers a way through it.About KarenKaren Cooper is the Director of Marketing for the content experience team at Wolters Kluwer Health, where she has spent the last four years growing the marketing function within the health organization. She leads a shared-services team of designers, motion graphic artists, writers, social media creators, and project managers who sit in the middle of product, program, and campaign work. A past speaker at B2B Ignite North America, she is returning to the conference to talk about what the do-more-with-less era is doing to the people behind the marketing discipline.

They were soon married.After being deserted by her husband, Mary settled in West Chester, operating a boardinghouse situated in Pyle's Alley. Known throughout town as Mamie Toogood, Mary was a jovial woman with a big heart who opened her home to any of the local black population who needed a roof over their heads and food in their bellies.Unfortunately for Mamie, her kindness began to attract the wrong sort of characters and gradually her reputation began to tarnish. And then, in February of 1906, there occurred an unfortunate event that forever altered her fortunes. This is the story of Mamie Toogood, a Foundational Black American woman who played a role in one of the strangest mysteries in West Chester history.

July isn't just Disability Pride Month, it's also the time when lots of Bay Area folks are preparing to go to the festival in Nevada's Black Rock desert: Burning man. And one group that goes each year exists at the intersection of disability advocacy and the values that guide the gathering. The Burner community is guided by what they call “The 10 Principles.” One of those principles is radical inclusion. But what does that mean for people with disabilities? Next, we revisit a story from an episode of the podcast the Intersection that explores what disability advocacy looks like in the desert.

The best engineer Matt Dalio ever hired didn't have a high school diploma. That fact runs through this whole conversation — what building proves that credentials can't.Education is changing because work is changing. AI is already reshaping what people can build, how they learn, and what employers actually value — and Arizona State University has become the clearest picture of where it's going, precisely because of the reputation it had to shake.Matt Dalio, founder of Endless, joins Eric Kasimov. Matt's work centers on one idea: young people should be creators of technology, not just consumers of it. The conversation runs from Arizona State's President Michael Crow measuring success by who a university educates instead of who it rejects, to the engineer with no diploma who outperformed the Stanford hires, to why building games might be the most complete education a kid can get, and what happens to a generation that opts out of AI versus one that learns to wield it.WHAT WE TALK ABOUTWhy Arizona State University (ASU) stands out in higher educationMichael Crow's "realm five learning" — education that's infinitely scalable, infinitely personalized, infinitely affordableWhat "GitHub University" shows about proof of work and why it beat the Stanford hiresWhy portfolios are becoming more important than resumesHow game making teaches technical, creative, and collaborative skillsWhy AI fluency may become a core workforce skillThe difference between using screens to consume and using them to buildGSV (Global Silicon Valley) and spreading the builder mindset beyond the ValleyWhy young people should start building, tinkering, and solving real problemsCHAPTERS00:00 – Arizona State University and innovation in education01:21 – Michael Crow's approach to access and scale03:20 – Changing perceptions of ASU05:33 – Why higher education has to change07:09 – Prestige, jobs, and the shifting value of a degree08:06 – GitHub, proof of work, and hiring without a diploma11:26 – Why portfolio can matter more than pedigree13:08 – AI, marketing, and what students actually need to learn15:15 – Teaching young people to become AI power users16:00 – Why game making teaches multidisciplinary skills18:34 – ASU, scale, and reaching more learners20:33 – Soft skills, collaboration, and real work21:46 – Games, arts, media, and engineering at ASU23:37 – Coding, Claude Code, and technical fluency25:37 – Why Matt still believes code matters28:07 – Screens, phones, Chromebooks, and real computers31:42 – What Gen Z can do now32:31 – Why schools are often anti-AI34:33 – Building as the path to employment35:52 – Burning your resume and building proof37:22 – Moving from Abu Dhabi back to the US38:34 – AI education in the UAE39:15 – Bringing AI education to more people40:39 – Building through contracts, partners, and foundations42:00 – Why America needs broader access to builder skills44:15 – Helping young people join the modern economy45:39 – Public schools and the difficulty of scale46:19 – Kids who are already building their own futures49:26 – Why the traditional system still matters50:00 – Vibe coding an SAT prep tool52:08 – AI concerns, climate, and the risk of opting out55:00 – Global Silicon Valley and spreading the builder mindset57:36 – Games, sports, licensing, and learning through interests59:06 – Game studios, communities, and professional learning01:01:49 – Finding your passion by building01:02:50 – Matt's book and Endless Future01:04:09 – The lean book and shipping early01:04:46 – Where to find Matt Dalio and EndlessConnectMatt Dalio: Website | LinkedInEric Kasimov: X | LinkedInRelated Entrepreneur Perspectives episodesHow AI Is Changing College Counseling and Admissions with Senan Khawaja, CEO of KollegioDavid Selinger on AI Security, $15M Series B, and the Deep Sentinel MissionAnkit Somani | From Google to Conifer: Rare-Earth-Free Motors, $20M Seed, and Rethinking CollegeEntrepreneur Perspectives is produced by QuietLoud Studios.Music by Jess & Ricky — SoundCloud

Hour 2 of Baskin and Phelps
In the hevel-ridden world of Ecclesiastes the writer is asking whether it is all worth it for human beings. These reflections resonate with a modern audience, but what can be hard to grasp in translation is the sound of the Hebrew sentences, which itself assists in conveying the intended meaning.

One deal can change everything. Especially when it becomes your anchor client. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down how securing one major client can transform your cash flow, credibility, and entire business trajectory. Let's be real… If you are chasing hundreds of tiny customers… Burning out your fulfillment team… Working harder for smaller margins… And avoiding bigger opportunities because of fear… You may be playing too small. In this episode, you'll learn: Why massive deals often require the same energy as small deals How an anchor client can instantly increase your market authority Why targeting a few major accounts beats generic marketing to everyone How one major contract can create stability, credibility, and momentum The truth is simple: Big clients need real solutions too. And if your offer solves a serious problem… You have no business disqualifying yourself before the pitch even happens. High-level operators do not stay trapped in the small leagues forever. They raise their targets. They build focused campaigns. They pursue the right logos. They negotiate with confidence. They fulfill at a world-class level. Because one anchor client can change your entire position in the market. Stop fighting for scraps. Hunt the whales. Close the contract. Secure the anchor. And keep leveling up.
