►► Ask Graham AI your #1 business question right now: http://grahamcochrane.com/ai How many times have you told yourself you're not ready? Not ready to launch the business. Not ready to speak up. Not ready to take that next step. But what if ‘not ready' is just fear wearing a mask? What if the very moment you're hesitating to step into… is the one that could change everything? In this episode, I want to challenge the belief that you have to feel ready to be used — because if you keep waiting for the perfect moment, you'll miss the one that's already in front of you.

In this episode of the Fitness League, hosts Josh, Alessandra, and Joelle discuss the transformative experience of cold plunging, the challenges of balancing parenting with personal wellness, and the importance of maintaining in-person community connections. They share personal anecdotes about their experiences with cold plunges, the benefits of tracking recovery through heart rate variability (HRV), and the complexities of navigating social media as entrepreneurs. The conversation emphasizes the significance of communication within family dynamics and the need to prioritize mental health during busy seasons of life. Takeaways: Cold plunging can be a transformative experience. The cold is a tool for mental and physical resilience. Maintaining in-person community connections is vital for mental health. Balancing parenting and work requires clear communication. It's important to prioritize self-care and mental health. Social media can be both a tool and a distraction. Tracking recovery metrics like HRV can provide insights into wellness. Seasons of life require different priorities and boundaries. It's okay to say no to social obligations for personal well-being. Creating a supportive network can enhance personal and professional growth.

Matthew presents Jesus Christ as the Jesus as the Mashiach Nagid, the Messiah the King, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. It was written by a Jew, to Jews, about a Jew. This book of the Bible uses more Old Testament quotes than any other. The Gospel of Matthew emphasizes the saying of Jesus, including ten parables not found in any other Gospel. After first establishing the royal genealogy, he then goes on to focus on the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. Matthew uses the term "fulfilled" 82 times! Many scholars now believe that the Gospel was written before Paul's first imprisonment of 57-60 A.D., and that virtually all of the New Testament books were written before Jerusalem's destruction. This study contains 24 hours of verse by verse teachings. Copyright © 11-01-2006 Recorded: 2006

With Bradley set to captain the American side in the Ryder Cup this fall, Smylie and Charlie discuss what more Keegan needs to do in order to feel comfortable using a pick on himself as a playing captain - the first time since Arnold Palmer in 1963. SK and CH also delve into the flip side of Bradley's win - a devastating finish for Tommy Fleetwood as he continues to search for his first-ever PGA TOUR win. Smylie and Charlie are then joined by GOLF.com's James Colgan, who provides some insight on the TOUR's new CEO, Brian Rolapp. James delves into the work Rolapp did as the de facto No. 2 at the NFL, including landmark media deals that could inform the approach he'll take with the PGA TOUR.

Hawaii's Best - Guide to Travel Tips, Vacation, and Local Business in Hawaii
Did you know that even after 30+ trips to Hawaii, I still remember the mistakes I made on my very first visit in 2007?When I first stepped foot on Oahu as a newlywed, I arrived with a suitcase full of expectations and honestly, a lot of naivety about what Hawaii was really like beyond the postcard-perfect images.
My guest today is Ion Stoica, professor of computer science at UC Berkeley and the co-founder of Conviva, Databricks, and Anyscale. Over the last two decades, Ion's research labs - the AMP Lab, the RISE Lab, and now the Sky Computing Lab - have seeded a generation of category-defining companies. Ion has the unique ability to turn non-consensus ideas into durable businesses. He applied machine learning to video optimization with Conviva before AI became mainstream. He scaled Apache Spark into a $60B platform with Databricks. And now, with Anyscale, he's betting on Ray as the foundation for distributed AI workloads. In this episode, we dig into both sides of Ion's work: how to build world-class research labs, and how to turn research into real companies. His clarity of thought makes the future feel legible, and his track record suggests he's very often right. Hope you enjoy the conversation!

What does it look like to take a neuroscience degree far beyond the lab? In this episode, we explore a career path that crosses scientific research, government regulation, and biotech entrepreneurship with Dr. Amanda Wiggins, CEO of The cGP Lab. Amanda began her career investigating neurodegeneration and cortical spreading depression. Over time, her passion for real-world impact led her into public policy—where she helped shape New Zealand's Human Tissue Act and advised on regulations for stem cell research and genetic technologies. Today, she leads a company advancing neuroprotective health supplements based on cyclic Glycine-Proline (cGP), a molecule with growing potential in aging and cognitive health. We talk about: How to navigate transitions between academia, government, and business The challenges of working across disciplines—and how to build confidence in new spaces Lessons learned from leading regulatory change and scaling innovation Amanda's work at The cGP Lab and the science behind cGP's potential in brain health Advice for scientists who want to move into leadership, entrepreneurship, or public engagement This conversation is for anyone considering a non-linear career in neuroscience or wondering how to apply scientific training in new and meaningful ways.

What happened after the death of Joshua in the BIble? Come Bible Study WITH ME through Judges 2 and ask all the questions!
This week, hosts Chad Sowash, Joel Cheesman, and Emi Beredugo sling zingers at the tech and policy chaos of today's work of work. First up, they cackle over OpenAI's Sam Altman throwing shade at Meta, claiming Zuck's crew dangled $100 million bonuses to poach his AI wizards. Altman, smirking on his brother's podcast, scoffed, “Meta's not exactly an innovation powerhouse,” betting OpenAI's culture will outshine cash as they chase superintelligence—AI that'll make humans look like dial-up modems. Chad quips, “Zuck's throwing cash like confetti, but Altman's holding the AGI trump card.” Next, the hosts tackle Trump's immigration whiplash. Last week, he hit pause on ICE raids targeting farms and hotels—where 42% of crop workers and 7.6% of hospitality staff are undocumented—after farmers cried foul. But days later, he flipped, doubling down on mass deportations, especially in blue states, risking $315 billion in economic fallout. Tech gets weirder with Amazon's Andy Jassy predicting AI will shrink corporate jobs, leaning on generative AI and Zoox's 10,000 robotaxis to replace drivers. Meanwhile, Zoom's Eric Yuan shrugs off work-life balance, saying leaders live for work and family, but sees AI pushing Gen Z toward three-day workweeks. Klarna's CEO, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, not to be outdone, launches an AI hotline starring a digital him. Surely, AI Sebastian will be running interviews at Klarna soon, right? Tune in for insight.

SummaryIn this episode, Chase and Chris talk all about why tracking data matters when it comes to your health journey. From calories, steps, and workouts, to weight, inches, and photos – it's all useful information that helps you make better choices. A lot of times, we feel like we're doing everything right, but we're not seeing results. That's where data comes in. It helps us see what's really going on and take some of the emotion out of it. You'll learn why “eating healthy” doesn't always mean progress, how to measure your true consistency, and how to stop guessing and start seeing results.Chapters(00:00) Why Data Tracking is Key to Fat Loss(01:43) Sacrifices Don't Always Equal Results(03:28) Why Tracking Is Even More Important Today(05:06) How Modern Convenience Changes the Game(07:14) Food Volume vs. Calorie Content(08:27) Bringing Awareness Without Obsession(09:27) The Role of Emotion in Weight Loss(10:11) Measuring Consistency Accurately(11:44) Putting the Puzzle Pieces Together(12:55) The 80% Consistency Rule(14:50) When Hormones Require More Accuracy(16:00) Why Tracking is Like Bloodwork(18:43) Understanding Output Data: Weight, Inches, Photos(21:07) Why Daily Weigh-ins Can Help(22:21) The Value of Non-Scale Victories(23:35) Emotional Triggers and Logic Responses(25:28) Why We Quit Too Soon(28:03) The Reality of Plateaus(30:53) Your Feelings Aren't Facts – Data Is(31:51) What You Learn From Tracking(33:29) It's About Progress, Not Perfection(33:57) Final Takeaways: Logic Over EmotionSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective
Step back in time with me to 1977, to a cultural event so monumental it was dubbed the "Black World's Fair." In this episode, we journey to Lagos, Nigeria, for FESTAC '77, the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture. What made this month-long celebration a landmark of Black pride and unity, and why does its legacy still echo nearly fifty years later? I'll share insights from my conversation with Roy Lewis, the official photographer for the North American zone, who was there to capture it all. Join me as we explore the story of this incredible gathering of artists, thinkers, and performers from across the African diaspora and uncover a piece of our history that continues to inspire.

We take a thorough look at the nature of soft power, how it can be used, and whether or not a country truly needs it to explore China's soft power deficit and what can be done to fix it. While China does have SOME soft power, arguably its lack of the charm of its neighbours and rivals means its culture and ideology is often met with suspicion or outright rejection. This can lead to difficulties when interacting on the global stage, for example when it comes to pandemic management, border relations, or the promotion of language and culture. Do small wins like the success of the video game Black myth: Wukong present a way out for China's cultural tzars? Or is the hand of the state just too heavy to allow the organic spread of a rich cultural heritage that has the potential to bring China into a new era of prestige and attractiveness?Chapters (00:00) Introduction - South Korea's soft power boom(04:50) What is soft power?(17:22) How soft power can be used and the failure of Confucius Institutes(26:52) Does China need or want soft power?(41:25) Consequences of China's lack of soft power(47:50) Missed soft power opportunities(52:45) Black Myth: Wukong and a potential new era of Chinese soft powerSupport the showSign up for Buzzsprout to launch your podcasting journey: https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=162442Subscribe to the Sinobabble Newsletter: https://sinobabble.substack.com/Support Sinobabble on Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Sinobabblepod

Matthew presents Jesus Christ as the Jesus as the Mashiach Nagid, the Messiah the King, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. It was written by a Jew, to Jews, about a Jew. This book of the Bible uses more Old Testament quotes than any other. The Gospel of Matthew emphasizes the saying of Jesus, including ten parables not found in any other Gospel. After first establishing the royal genealogy, he then goes on to focus on the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. Matthew uses the term "fulfilled" 82 times! Many scholars now believe that the Gospel was written before Paul's first imprisonment of 57-60 A.D., and that virtually all of the New Testament books were written before Jerusalem's destruction. This study contains 24 hours of verse by verse teachings. Copyright © 11-01-2006 Recorded: 2006

Bootstrapping vs VC: John Rush on Building 25 Successful Products
I'm Josh Kopel, a Michelin-awarded restaurateur and the creator of the Restaurant Scaling System. I've spent decades in the industry, building, scaling, and coaching restaurants to become more profitable and sustainable. On this show, I cut through the noise to give you real, actionable strategies that help independent restaurant owners run smarter, more successful businesses. In this episode, I tackle a really common frustration: pouring time and money into marketing when the real problem is the product itself. I break down the brutal but freeing truth: Marketing is a megaphone, not a magician. I share my own hard-earned lessons on how to stop masking product issues with ads and instead zero in on product-market fit. I explain how to test it, iterate fast, and double down on what works — so you can stop wasting dollars and start selling out seats and dishes naturally.Takeaways:Many restaurants fail to profit because they haven't built a strong business behind great food and service.If your concept doesn't resonate with your target market, no amount of marketing will fix it.True product-market fit shows up instantly — seats fill, dishes sell out, buzz spreads organically.Marketing only amplifies what's already working; it can't create demand where none exists.To find product-market fit, test small, track data, listen to feedback, and iterate constantly.Stop trying to revive your weakest menu items — double down on your best sellers and build on what already works.Once you nail product-market fit, that's the time to scale your marketing and growth.Chapters: [00:17] Why Restaurants Struggle Financially [01:35] Cathy's Question — Is Marketing the Problem?
