Bob Baxley is a design leader who has shaped products used by billions at Apple, Pinterest, Yahoo, and ThoughtSpot. During his eight years at Apple, he led design for the online store and the App Store, and witnessed the iPhone's transformative launch while working under Steve Jobs. A student of history turned software craftsman, Bob discovered his calling after exploring photography, filmmaking, and music, ultimately recognizing software as the most powerful creative medium of our time. Bob champions the moral obligation designers have to reduce frustration in people's daily digital interactions.What you'll learn:• Why design should report to engineering, not product• The “Beatles principle”—why the best products come from teams of 4 to 6, not 40 to 60• How to create design tenets vs. principles (with real examples)• The counterintuitive reason to delay drawing or prototyping as long as possible• Why software is fundamentally a medium, like film or music (not just a tool)• Why Bob “bounced off the culture” at Pinterest, and lessons from failure• The lunar landing story

In this episode, Tom Krawiec explores the art and science of maximizing forage production by grazing pastures at just the right time—the “sweet spot”—before forages enter the reproductive stage. Speaking from over 20 years of careful record-keeping and hands-on experience, Tom challenges some widely held assumptions in the grazing community and offers a compelling case for a more nuanced approach to pasture recovery and soil health. Drawing on insights from soil biologist Dr. Kris Nichols and grazing expert Jim Gerrish, Tom argues that long rest periods may actually reduce soil biological activity and forage yields—despite common belief. Instead, he urges graziers to focus on maintaining swards in a vegetative state, even if it means starting the grazing season before every paddock is “ready.”

An episode that explores the heart of autistic insight, authenticity, and truth-telling.In Episode 137 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, Dr Angela Kingdon continues our journey through the 10 Pillars of Autistic Culture as we move onto Pillar 3— Norm Challenging. Here's what defines this core Autistic trait:* ❓Autistic culture doesn't just question norms — it reimagines them. Being misunderstood is often a sign of being ahead of our time, not behind. Our literal minds challenge euphemism, dishonesty, and performative niceness. We ask “why” not to be difficult, but because truth matters.*

In this conversation, Phil Brown and Devin Farkas discuss the evolving landscape of outdoor education, focusing on accessibility, the importance of experiential learning, and the development of leadership skills in outdoor settings. They explore the core impacts of outdoor education, including confidence building and connection with nature, while also addressing the need to shift perspectives on risk and challenge. The discussion culminates in a vision for the future of outdoor education that emphasizes reducing barriers and enhancing learning experiences through outdoor spaces.   Outdoor education should be accessible to all, not just the adventurous few. Experiential learning is key to achieving educational outcomes. Confidence, connection, and skill development are core impacts of outdoor education. The focus should be on creating meaningful experiences, not just flashy adventures. Leadership development is best achieved in low-risk environments. Facilitators should allow discomfort to foster learning opportunities. The situational leadership model can enhance group dynamics. Outdoor education can be integrated into everyday learning environments. The future of outdoor education lies in reducing barriers and enhancing accessibility.

Today we sit down with host Brett McDermott for a solo episode on the critical role of self-belief in personal growth, motivation, and overcoming resistance.Brett breaks down the real reason most of us stall out before we start: resistance. And not the loud kind. The subtle and internal kind that shows up as procrastination, second-guessing, or playing small.Drawing inspiration from a previous conversation with Scott Clary, Brett explores how belief in yourself can radically change your relationship with action. Because without belief, even the best strategies fall flat.As always, if you're a regular listener, you know Brett doesn't just talk theory, he brings structure. This episode follows his signature 10-step format, designed to keep your mind focused and momentum high.If you're new here, get ready for to learn why keeping promises to yourself is more powerful than making them to others, how borrowing belief can be a bridge to confidence, and why doing hard things on purpose transforms your mental resilience.TakeawaysBorrowing belief from mentors can help during self-doubt.Confidence is built through consistent action and evidence.Challenging negative self-talk is crucial for self-identity.Doing hard things intentionally strengthens resilience.Visualization should include struggles and recovery for effectiveness.Tracking progress helps maintain motivation and belief.Identity should drive behavior to reinforce self-belief.

In this landmark 200th episode of "Stay Off My Operating Table," Dr. Philip Ovadia and Jack Heald sit down with investigative journalist Gary Taubes, whose work fundamentally changed Dr. Ovadia's approach to medicine and personal health. Taubes recounts his journey from physics journalism to nutrition science, where he discovered a field plagued by confirmation bias and reluctance to challenge established beliefs. He explains the profound difference between observational studies that merely suggest correlations and clinical trials that can prove causation, highlighting how the conventional wisdom on nutrition persists despite mounting contradictory evidence. The conversation explores why nutritional science has remained resistant to correction for decades while fields like physics quickly abandon disproven theories. Taubes discusses the compelling evidence supporting low-carbohydrate, high-fat diets and questions why the medical establishment continues to recommend diets rich in whole grains when many thrive without them. This thought-provoking discussion challenges listeners to distinguish between "diet by hypothesis" and "diet by experience" while examining the profound impact nutritional policy has had on public health.BIG IDEAThe conventional nutrition advice we've received for decades is based on observational studies showing what healthy people eat rather than experimental evidence showing which diets actually make people healthier when tested.Gary Taubes Contact InfoWebsite: https://uncertaintyprinciples.substack.com/Website: https://garytaubes.com/Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

HIV emerged in the world at a time when medicine and healthcare were undergoing two major transformations: globalization and a turn toward legally inflected, rule-based ways of doing things. It accelerated both trends. While pestilence and disease are generally considered the domain of biological sciences and medicine, social arrangements—and law in particular—are also crucial. Drawing on years of research in HIV clinics in the United States, Thailand, South Africa, and Uganda, Governing the Global Clinic: HIV and the Legal Transformation of Medicine (University of Chicago Press, 2025) by Dr. Carol Heimer examines how growing norms of legalized accountability have altered the work of healthcare systems and how the effects of legalization vary across different national contexts. A key feature of legalism is universalistic language, but, in practice, rules are usually imported from richer countries (especially the United States) to poorer ones that have less adequate infrastructure and fewer resources with which to implement them. Challenging readers to reconsider the impulse to use law to organize and govern social life, Governing the Global Clinic poses difficult questions: When do rules solve problems, and when do they create new problems? When do rules become decoupled from ethics, and when do they lead to deeper moral commitments? When do rules reduce inequality? And when do they reflect, reproduce, and even amplify inequality? This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Donald Trump claims his tariffs will bring back good manufacturing jobs and help to reindustrialize the United States, but all the evidence suggests this will fail, because he has no coherent industrial policy, is gutting the state's capacities, and refuses to challenge Wall Street. Ben Norton explains how the US economy was financialized, and what it would take to truly revive industry.
