Join us as Chris gets brutally honest about tech employment in the AI era: what's dying, what's thriving, and how to position yourself to survive the chaos. Chris walks through the current state of tech layoffs hitting record numbers while companies post record profits, the disappearance of entry-level roles, and practical strategies for navigating this unprecedented moment. You'll learn about skill development in the AI era, why fundamentals still matter more than hype, how to build resilience through community, and what hiring managers are actually looking for right now. This episode doesn't sugarcoat the challenges from hollowed-out expertise at major companies to early-career professionals wondering if their degree still matters, but it also provides actionable guidance on positioning yourself and why humor and human connection remain irreplaceable in an AI-driven world.

Audio version of a recent webinar on the ABOS Continuing Certification (CC) Program with ABOS Executive Director Dr. David F. Martin.
Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of alcohol-related suicide. Please listen with care. Colleen Clifford lost her husband to alcohol, but it took years and a handful of wild card moments for her to confront her own relationship with drinking. 95% of the time? She felt in control. 5% of the time, something flipped. A split-second decision, a blackout, or a version of herself she didn't fully recognize. Today, we're talking about the psychology of the wild card, why "mostly fine" can still cost you your integrity, and the moment Colleen decided she would never again gamble with who she was becoming. IN THIS EPISODE: The wild card effect, and why it doesn't care how successful or in-control you are The staggering number of people binge drinking kills each year How Colleen coped with the loss of her husband while in the middle of the sea The integrity rupture that forces a woman to ask, "Who am I becoming?" Why writing Life Beyond the Binge felt non-negotiable LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Be sure to check out Colleen's website and learn more about her book, Life Beyond the Binge, which comes out in the spring.

Join us as Marian explains what AI governance means for vSphere administrators and why it matters now. Marian walks through practical governance frameworks that vSphere admins need to understand, from IEEE 7000 series standards to mapping governance controls onto infrastructure you already manage. You'll learn what your CISO will ask for, how to respond using your existing VMware stack, and why governance isn't about slowing innovation� it's about enabling it safely. This episode covers real-world scenarios from data lineage and model transparency to integrating governance tools with existing infrastructure, and addresses the gap between compliance requirements and practical implementation for virtualized environments.

professorjrod@gmail.comThis episode of Technology Tap: CompTIA Study Guide dives into the essential networking concept of DHCP and the critical question every device asks on a network: 'Who am I?' Understanding DHCP is key for IT skills development, helping you assign IP addresses, manage subnet masks, and configure DNS settings efficiently. Whether you're preparing for your CompTIA exam or enhancing your technology education, this tech exam prep episode breaks down complex networking components into clear, digestible explanations. Join us as we explore how devices establish their identity on networks and troubleshoot connectivity challenges effectively.We map the full DORA exchange and explain what each step means on the wire. Then we take on the headaches: APIPA addresses that scream “no server answered,” scopes that quietly run dry, and VLANs where broadcasts stop at the router. You'll learn how to architect a central DHCP service with relay agents across subnets, tune lease durations for guests versus office gear, and avoid conflicts with smart exclusions. Real-world stories reveal how a rogue consumer router can hijack traffic, and we share practical defenses using DHCP snooping, trusted ports, and better inventory to shut down shadow IT before it bites.Certification seekers get a rapid-fire quiz that cements the essentials: spotting 169.254.x.x, defining a scope, choosing the correct gateway role, and using DHCP snooping to stop unauthorized offers. We also connect the dots to the cloud: how virtual machines, VPCs, and Kubernetes pods receive identities dynamically so services discover each other and policies hold. Throughout, we keep it hands-on with ipconfig tips, quick checks to confirm routing and DNS, and a simple mental model for leases that makes troubleshooting second nature.If this helped you think like a technician, tap follow, share it with a teammate who lives in ipconfig, and leave a quick review so more learners can find us. Got a DHCP war story or a tip that saves minutes under pressure?

Paulette McGhie, programs manager at ResNet, and Michel Matthews, program engagement specialist, discuss how ResNet standards differ from other energy efficiency programs and how those standards are developed and updated. They explain the important role ResNet standards play in the mortgage industry, including how a ResNet‑certified home may qualify buyers for special mortgage financing tied to new home purchases or upgrades. Michel highlights how the standards ensure accuracy and consistency in home energy ratings, building confidence for lenders and homeowners alike. The conversation also addresses what happens after certification, with Paulette noting that ResNet currently does not enforce ongoing compliance when a certified home is later sold.

Matthew Egol, Founder & CEO of JourneySpark Consulting, joins Ari Paparo and Eric Franchi to break down agentic advertising and what AdCP means for the industry, from AI's Super Bowl moment to standards governance, Prebid collaboration, IAB alignment, and how AI agents are reshaping planning, creative, and measurement across marketing. Takeaways AI took over the Super Bowl, with roughly a quarter of ads tied to AI. Agentic advertising expands from buying to planning, discovery, and measurement. AgenticAdvertising.org focuses on standards, governance, and certification. Prebid runs the sell-side AdCP code while AAO drives the protocol and adoption. AdCP is still mostly in pilot mode, not scaled revenue. AI creative testing is beating traditional DCO in performance. LLM ads could reshape search, retail media, and content economics.

Hadley Sorensen didn't stop drinking four years ago because everything fell apart. She quit because something felt off, even though from the outside, her drinking looked completely normal. That intuitive hit led her to do what only 1% of people ever do – write the book she couldn't find: The Dirty Truth on Social Drinking: "Everything in Moderation" and Other BS. Hadley talks about how she is dismantling the toxic narratives around "mommy wine juice culture" which can keep you stuck in shame, and the belief that you need a dramatic reason to quit. You don't need to keep doing something that makes you feel like crap just because everyone else is. IN THIS EPISODE: Why moderate alcohol use can leave you feeling out of alignment and stuck in shame The surprising discoveries Hadley made about her friendships since ditching alcohol Why Hadley lost followers when she stopped being the "wine-loving fitness mom" Why she wrote the book she desperately needed and couldn't find anywhere How mommy wine juice culture is evolving from sippy cups to perimenopause jokes LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Learn more about Hadley Sorensen's book, The Dirty Truth on Social Drinking.

Have you ever felt safer letting someone else decide—not because you didn't care, but because choosing for yourself felt overwhelming or even dangerous? Dr. Greg explores the dependent defense pattern and why giving up agency can feel like survival—until healing restores the freedom to exist, choose, and love. Key Topics: Why dependency isn't just fear of being alone—but fear of not existing alone How proximity can start to feel like survival Why some people lose touch with what they want, like, or dream about How dependency can quietly shape marriages, families, and faith And how healing doesn't erase need—it restores freedom Learn More: Being Human episodes on narcissistic personality patterns: Ep. #261: Narcissism and the Terror of Being Ordinary Ep. #262: Spiritual Narcissism: Exposing the Sneaky Way We Use Religion as a Pattern of Protection Ep. #263: Holiness and Narcissism Ep. #264: IFS, JP2 and Narcissism Is Leadership of the Family a Man's Job?

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Article mentioned in the podcast: https://www.painscience.com/blog/corrective-exercise-trap.htmlNext SUF weekend seminars: DUMBO NYC 2-20/21, Houston 13/14, Oakland 27/28.Q2 schedule will be released soon!What happens when a client shoves a scary MRI report in front of you and waits for your take? We turn that tense moment into a masterclass on scope, language, and movement by breaking down C6–C7 findings, clarifying true red flags, and showing how a quick consult with a physical therapist can transform fear into a clear plan. Instead of hiding behind corrective exercise acronyms, we lay out a practical path to real credibility: anatomy fluency, precise coaching, and a trusted referral network.We walk through how to read common cervical terms without stepping outside your scope, why peripheral symptoms like numbness or burning change the plan, and how to use the biopsychosocial model to reduce threat and improve outcomes. You'll hear a simple, effective session flow—brief targeted correctives followed by progressive overload with squats, step-ups, rows, planks, and face pulls—designed to build capacity without provoking symptoms. The emphasis is on clarity over complexity: coach scapular protraction and retraction, cue depression instead of shrugging, and modify load and positions based on feedback, not fear.Along the way, we question the corrective exercise trap, the posture hype cycle, and the industry's obsession with letters over leadership. Real leverage comes from hands-on education and an active network of DPTs and specialists who answer the phone, share nuance, and send referrals. If you want clients to see you as the professional who brings calm, clarity, and results, start by mastering anatomy, speaking hope, programming for strength, and knowing exactly when to refer. Subscribe, share this with a coach who needs it, and leave a review telling us the one skill you're doubling down on this month.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

Doubt on wedding day can be quiet but crushing—the second-guessing after a tough call, the 2 a.m. mental replay, the nagging feeling that something's off even when the night goes "fine." That's what winging it feels like, even when you're good at what you do.In this episode, From Winging It to Owning It, Krisy Thomas, Senior Educator with The CWP Society, sits down with Master Certified Wedding Planners, Nikki Rodgers and Brittney Poole, to unpack how they made the shift from reactive problem-solving to confident, visible leadership that vendors trust and couples feel.We get specific about what changed. Certification didn't just add letters after their names, it gave them usable frameworks: contracts that protect the work, pricing that reflects value, and timelines detailed enough to coordinate arrivals, handoffs, and contingencies without friction. They show how defined assistant roles expand your field of view, and why proactive vendor communication turns a list of services into a true team.The difference between winging it and owning it shows up in moments that matter, like a guest collapsing during dinner and the room staying composed because the plan, the roles, and the trust were already in place.We also confront the hidden cost of improvising your way through: undervaluing fees, fraying venue relationships, and fueling the misconception that planners are optional. Nikki and Brittney explain how identifying blind spots, package design, clause gaps, staffing standards, reduced anxiety and raised the quality bar. Their candor about perfectionism, pressure, and the physical toll of constant vigilance is matched by a clear path forward: build systems, practice them, and surround yourself with peers who share your standards.The community piece matters. Regular workshops, co-working sessions, and mentorship turned a solitary job into a supportive network that speeds decisions and sustains momentum.If you've felt that quiet tug that something's missing, this conversation hands you next steps to replace guesswork with clarity and calm, to stop winging it and start owning it.Subscribe, share with a planner friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

Here' are two of our favourite clips from this episode: “The benefits of ITAM are much broader than people think. It is the nucleus for every other IT process.

The audit process was the perfect way to get all the relevant stakeholders across the business in one room to make the case for ITAM and demonstrate its value.” - Patrick Milas, HDI Group “It is a humbling experience, but it ultimately improves the quality of your ITAM practices. It was a very enlightening journey and well worth the effort.” - Ash Dharas, Softline Group Northern Europe

This content was created in 2020. Rewrite Your Story: Remove the Blocks Holding You Back Beautiful soul, this month is about freedom. In this episode, Julie introduces the Rewrite Your Story course and walks you through how subconscious beliefs, thought patterns, and old stories quietly shape your life. If you feel stuck, frustrated, or like you keep hitting the same invisible wall, this message explains why and how to change it. You'll learn how the egoic mind creates limiting stories, how intuition tries to guide you forward, and how to consciously rewrite the narratives that no longer serve you. This work is gentle, practical, and deeply empowering, helping you take ownership of your thoughts, actions, and future. This episode is especially supportive for anyone who feels blocked around health, intuition, relationships, purpose, or abundance and is ready to reclaim their power and move forward with clarity. Short Episode Chapters (1:00) What the Rewrite Your Story course is about (4:20) How subconscious beliefs shape your life (8:10) Why we think in opposites and limitations (12:40) Intuition vs. the egoic mind (18:30) Identifying your self-limiting stories (26:10) Rewriting beliefs through God's perspective (34:45) Neuroplasticity and making change stick (41:30) Choosing your three core stories to rewrite (48:20) Taking ownership and stepping into freedom Work with Julie & Your Angels If you feel called to go deeper, here are ways to work with Julie and your angels: Book a private angel reading: theangelmedium.com Join the Angel Membership: theangelmedium.com/angelmembership Angel Reiki School 3-in-1 Certification in Angel Messages, Reiki, and Mediumship https://theangelmedium.com/get-certified Keywords Angels, Angel Messages, Rewrite Your Story, Subconscious Mind, Intuition, Divine Guidance, Ego Mind, Spiritual Awakening, Energy Healing, Neuroplasticity, Self-Limiting Beliefs, Inner Healing, Pray and Be Wealthy, Angel Reiki School, Mediumship
Certified Wedding Planner, Industry Advancement Director, and Director of Student Organizations, Ashley Babbit, joins CWP Society's Senior Educator, Krisy Thomas for this episode. What if the right credential didn't just polish your bio—but changed how you see your future? We sit down with Ashley to unpack how structured training, community, and ongoing education turn hesitant beginners into confident pros. From moving to a new market with zero contacts to landing roles that play to her strengths, Ashley shows how certification can be the spark that opens doors you didn't know to knock on.We walk through the real shifts that happen after formal training: questions move from "what are the hours?" to "how do I lead timelines, vendors, and client expectations with grace?" We talk about the power of weekly workshops to keep skills sharp as trends, tech, and client behavior evolve. And we address a common myth head‑on—success doesn't have to mean starting a company. If you love planning but not payroll, the associate track builds excellence on a team; if you want to lead a brand, the executive track gives you the business foundation to scale with integrity.You'll hear how certification changes hiring conversations, shortens training, and signals professionalism to owners who protect their reputations fiercely. We share the markers that make a resume stand out, the habits that build trust with venues and vendors, and the community culture that rejects gatekeeping in favor of genuine support. Whether you're just starting, mid‑career, or ten years in, there's always more to learn—and the right peer network makes the journey lighter and faster.Ready to step into a career that fits your strengths and goals?
