The training room is changing, and it's not going back. In this episode, I sat down with Phil Friedman, the founder and CEO of CGS Inc., to explore how AI, avatars, and immersive simulations are rewriting the playbook on workplace training. With over four decades at the helm of CGS—a company he built from scratch after immigrating to the US—Phil brings a perspective shaped by both technological evolution and global business experience. The heart of our conversation centered on Cicero, CGS's AI-driven platform that blends artificial intelligence with extended reality to create dynamic, real-time role-play simulations. Far from just another e-learning tool, Cicero tackles one of the biggest blind spots in workforce development today: soft skills. From objection handling in medical device sales to flight attendant training and fast-food onboarding, the platform is being used to scale training faster, cheaper, and more effectively than traditional classroom or online methods ever could. What really stood out was how Phil views this as a moment of acceleration rather than disruption. AI isn't here to replace human trainers or eliminate roles; it's a tool that can deepen learning and speed up how people acquire both interpersonal and job-specific skills. In a world where young workers are more comfortable with gaming engines than whiteboards, the immersive, responsive nature of AI-powered simulations offers a natural fit. Phil shared compelling stories from industries like healthcare, aviation, and fast food, where training time has been slashed from months to days. But more than the metrics, it's the idea that training can now adapt in real time, simulate unpredictable human behavior, and offer meaningful feedback immediately that points to where we're headed next. As AI and XR technologies converge, what will it mean when every employee can have a personalized, just-in-time coach at their fingertips?

Now that we've learned about expectations for Ancient Roman women, time to learn about a woman who broke all the rules! You may not have heard of Fulvia, but you've heard of her third husband (pre-Cleopatra Marc Anthony!). And get ready to enjoy the downfall of her number one hater, Cicero (the John Knox of his time). We're joined by returning guest Jane Draycott (who was previously on to discuss Cleopatra's daughter, Cleopatra Selene), author of a new biography of our new icon Fulvia!

Welcome to Episode 292 of Lucretius Today. This is a podcast dedicated to the poet Lucretius, who wrote "On The Nature of Things," the most complete presentation of Epicurean philosophy left to us from the ancient world. Each week we walk you through the Epicurean texts, and we discuss how Epicurean philosophy can apply to you today. If you find the Epicurean worldview attractive, we invite you to join us in the study of Epicurus at EpicureanFriends.com, where we discuss this and all of our podcast episodes. This week we continue our series covering Cicero's "Tusculan Disputations" from an Epicurean viewpoint. Today we continue in Part 3, which addresses anger, pity, envy, and other strong emotions. Today we'll continue into Section XVI, where we compare Epicurus' views on dealing with grief to those of other schools. https://www.epicureanfriends.com/thread/4637-episode-292-td22-is-virtue-or-pleasure-the-key-to-overcoming-grief/

Send us a textNothing kicks off summer quite like a deep dive into ice cream preferences and a candid taste test of Lady Gaga's questionable beverage choice. We start with updates on the helicopter "wiener drop" event we'd been anticipating - complete with the unexpected appearance of Bill Murray helping distribute 2,600 hot dogs raining down on a stadium field.We couldn't help but address some genuinely concerning beauty trends currently making rounds on social media. From people using Sharpie markers as lip liner (despite the chemical smell and dermatologists' warnings) to the horrifying practice of "cryo branding" - essentially burning decorative patterns into skin using extreme cold. Our professional advice? Don't put Sharpie on your face, don't brand yourself with ice, and maybe reconsider those discount butt implants that might literally fall out during a workout (as one unfortunate woman discovered and then needed a $85,000 corrective surgery).The heart of our conversation centers around ice cream - its fascinating journey from ancient China to Thomas Jefferson's America, the technical definition requiring at least 10% milk fat (sorry, Dairy Queen!), and our personal preferences from soft serve to sprinkle techniques. Did you know vanilla remains America's favorite flavor, except in Illinois where Moose Tracks reigns supreme? Or that 90% of Americans keep ice cream in their freezers at all times? Between comparing cone versus cup preferences and debating the merits of toppings, we conducted a brave taste test of Lady Gaga's favorite drink: red wine mixed with Diet Coke. The verdict? "They're fighting in this glass" - two flavors that absolutely refuse to blend harmoniously. Try Lady Gaga's peculiar concoction yourself if you're feeling adventurous, but maybe avoid the Sharpie lip liner. Share your thoughts on our taste test or your own ice cream preferences, and join us again next week for more candid conversations and unexpected experiments!Mike Haggerty Buick GMCRight on the corner, right on the price!

Send us a textTwo friends named Nora take listeners on a delightful journey through the quirky side of summer, beginning with a hydration challenge that's led to frequent bathroom breaks and the surprising sacrifice of a beloved afternoon Diet Coke. Their conversation flows naturally from horrifying food innovations (a deep-fried hot dog rolled in Hot Cheetos and Fruity Pebbles, anyone?) to taste-testing blueberry pie Oreos with hilariously mixed reviews.The podcast takes a fascinating turn when they explore recent psychological research on what makes someone "cool." According to a University of Arizona study spanning 12 countries, the six defining traits of coolness are being extroverted, hedonistic, powerful, adventurous, open, and autonomous. This prompts a thoughtful discussion about the distinction between being "cool" and being "good," with research suggesting that while cool kids might rule high school, those with quality friendships tend to fare better in adult life.The hosts share bizarre food trends from around the world, including Germany's booming sausage vending machine industry (with 570,000 machines nationwide) and an upcoming attempt to set a world record by dropping 2,600 packaged hot dogs from a helicopter at a minor league baseball game. Their enthusiasm for attending this "Wiener Drop" perfectly captures their adventurous spirit and friendship dynamic.The main segment delves into barbecue traditions, distinguishing between "grilling" (quick cooking over high heat) and "barbecuing" (slow, indirect heat). They explore regional styles, share statistics about America's grilling habits (86% barbecue on July 4th!), and debate favorite side dishes. The episode wraps with personal "high and low" moments, creating a warm, relatable finale to this summer-themed conversation.Subscribe for weekly episodes where the Noras bring their unique perspective to everyday topics with humor, curiosity, and friendship that feels like you're sitting right at their kitchen table.Mike Haggerty Buick GMCRight on the corner, right on the price!

Episode Overview:In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, hosts Adam Minihan and David Niles dive into a lighthearted yet profound discussion about the phrase "killing two birds with one stone," the joys and challenges of high school reunions, and a deep exploration of friendship—both human and divine. The episode centers on John 15:14-15, where Jesus calls His disciples friends, not servants, offering a transformative perspective on what it means to live in communion with Christ. A powerful confession experience ties the conversation together, emphasizing the shift from doing things for God to doing them with Him.Key Discussion Points:Opening Banter (00:00:16 - 00:04:55): Adam and David humorously debate the origins and modern misuse of the phrase "killing two birds with one stone," referencing historical and biblical imagery like David and Goliath, and even a viral video of Nolan Ryan hitting a bird with a baseball.Life Updates (00:05:00 - 00:11:39): David shares his excitement for an upcoming family reunion in Wyoming, while Adam talks about his son Leo's second-place finish in mutton busting at a local rodeo and his anticipation for a 20-year high school reunion, sparking a funny reflection on aging and pride.Sponsorship Spotlight (00:12:00 - 00:13:15): The hosts highlight their long-time sponsor, Select International Tours, encouraging listeners to explore pilgrimage opportunities at selectinternationaltours.com and join their upcoming trip to Italy in October.What We're Drinking (00:13:29 - 00:15:47): Adam and David enjoy The Sassenach, a blended Scotch whiskey with a Gaelic name meaning "outsider" or "stranger." They praise its Highland-like flavor and art deco bottle, likening it to a Mad Men-style decanter.Literature and Reading (00:16:46 - 00:20:43): David discusses reading G.K. Chesterton's Man Alive, recommended by Monsignor Gallus, a Chesterton scholar, and touches on Plato's The Republic. The hosts reflect on Chesterton's whimsical style and the influence of classical works on Christian thought.Main Topic: Friendship with Christ (00:22:08 - 00:58:51):Biblical Foundation: Adam introduces John 15:14-15, where Jesus says, “You are my friends if you keep what I command you. No longer do I call you servants… but I have called you friends.” This passage sets the stage for a discussion on authentic friendship.Philosophical Insights: Drawing from Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics (Books 8-10), the hosts explore his three types of friendship—pleasure, utility, and authentic (virtuous) friendship. Aristotle views authentic friendship as the highest moral achievement, impossible without virtue, as vice renders true friendship unattainable.Christian Perspective: The discussion connects Aristotle's ideas to Christian theology, with references to Augustine, Aquinas, and Cicero. Aquinas describes charity as the highest form of friendship, requiring mutual love, willing the good of the other, and a shared life—mirrored in Christ's relationship with His disciples.Old vs. New Covenant: The hosts contrast the Old Covenant's servanthood (e.g., Abraham obeying without full understanding) with the New Covenant's friendship, where Christ shares divine knowledge, inviting us into intimacy and communion.Confession Insight: Adam shares a transformative moment from confession, where a priest challenged his mentality of doing things for God, urging him to focus on doing things with God. This shift reframes Christian life as a...

Send us a textWhat happens when your entire identity has been scripted? In this captivating conversation with bestselling author Annabelle Monaghan, we dive deep into her fourth novel, "It's a Love Story"!Annabelle reveals how Jennette McCurdy's raw memoir "I'm Glad My Mom Died" sparked her curiosity about teen stars who grow up on camera – young people who spend their formative years being told exactly who to be, what to say, and how to act. This inspiration evolved into Jane, a complex protagonist who emerges from childhood fame with no genuine sense of who she actually is, constantly morphing herself to fit others' expectations.The conversation takes us behind the curtain of Annabelle's writing process as she shares how she crafts characters readers gradually warm to, balances humor with vulnerability, and weaves meaningful philosophy into seemingly light fiction. Her insight that "real love happens over breakfast" – in quiet, everyday moments rather than grand gestures – perfectly captures the novel's authentic approach to relationships.We're also treated to an exclusive preview of Annabelle's upcoming work – a fake dating romance set against the backdrop of Newport mansions that promises all the heart, humor and depth her readers have come to expect. For writers, readers, and anyone fascinated by the intersection of identity, fame, and authenticity, this episode offers both entertainment and insight into how we become who we truly are.Follow Annabelle Monaghan on Instagram to stay connected and be the first to know about her upcoming releases and events.Mike Haggerty Buick GMCRight on the corner, right on the price!

Send us a textGrab your favorite cocktail and join The Noras for a delightful conversation with Western Springs' newest entrepreneur, Amanda Sutter, founder of Jolie dress boutique. Amanda shares her journey from dress enthusiast to shop owner while we sip on custom blackberry lemonade cocktails crafted by The Opry's talented Dan Schovain.The magic of Jolie lies in Amanda's thoughtful approach to fashion retail. With only six pieces of each style available, shoppers enjoy a significantly lower risk of the dreaded "same outfit" encounter. This exclusivity creates such demand that Amanda regularly declines requests for additional inventory, instead focusing on bringing in fresh selections weekly. Her careful curation considers diverse body types, age ranges, and price points while maintaining a distinctive aesthetic that fills a crucial gap in the local shopping landscape.Beyond business strategy, we dive into Amanda's personal life as a mother of two girls and wife to Josh Sutter (of Summer City Adventures fame). Their global family travels surprisingly take a backseat to favorite memories at Hilton Head according to their daughters – a relatable parenting moment that had us laughing. Amanda reveals how opening Jolie has given her children a new perspective on her professional identity after years of remote corporate work, allowing them to witness her entrepreneurial journey from empty storefront to thriving boutique.With homecoming season approaching, Jolie is set to become "homecoming headquarters" by late July, offering local high schoolers a convenient, stylish shopping destination with less risk of duplicate dresses at the big dance. Whether you're shopping for a special occasion or seeking everyday elegance, Amanda's passion for helping women feel confident through fashion shines through in every aspect of her new venture.Follow Jolie on Instagram @joliedressboutique and visit the store at 824 Hillgrove Avenue in downtown Western Springs Tuesday through Friday (10am-6pm) or Saturday (10am-3pm) to experience this fashion gem for yourself!Mike Haggerty Buick GMCRight on the corner, right on the price!

Welcome to Episode 287 of Lucretius Today. This is a podcast dedicated to the poet Lucretius, who wrote "On The Nature of Things," the most complete presentation of Epicurean philosophy left to us from the ancient world. Each week we walk you through the Epicurean texts, and we discuss how Epicurean philosophy can apply to you today. If you find the Epicurean worldview attractive, we invite you to join us in the study of Epicurus at EpicureanFriends.com, where we discuss this and all of our podcast episodes. Today we close in on the ending of Part 2 - "Is Pain An Evil?." Last week we focused on Cicero's argument that all we should face pain "like a man," focusing most of his attention on soldiers and military analogies. This week, Cicero turns his attention to examples of wise men facing pain, and he begins to summarize his argument. We'll pick up with Section XXV.https://www.epicureanfriends.com/thread/4510-episode-287-td17-the-fear-of-pain-is-overrated-but-cicero-and-epicurus-disagree/

Send us a textWhen was the last time you thought deeply about your snacking habits? In our Season 4 premiere, we're unwrapping the surprisingly complex world of between-meal munching, from nostalgic childhood favorites to our current cravings.The Noras kick things off with a fascinating productivity hack called the "one-minute rule" that's transforming how we tackle those small daily tasks. Then, prepare your taste buds as we conduct a live taste test of Selena Gomez's Oreo collaboration (spoiler: they taste like chocolate-filled churros and might be the best celebrity snack collab we've ever tried).The heart of their conversation explores a cultural shift we've noticed: kids today seem to snack constantly, while many of us grew up with strictly defined snack times. This observation leads them down memory lane, examining how those childhood patterns still influence their adult cravings. Why do so many of us still get that fierce afternoon "snack attack" around 3:30pm? And why do certain snacks absolutely demand specific beverage pairings? (Pretzels without Diet Coke? Unthinkable!)They then dive into controversial snack opinions (corn nuts receive particular disdain), debate the merits of beef sticks, and share our favorite local spots for satisfying those cravings. From regional specialties across America to the perfect soft cookie with iced tea, this episode celebrates how these small food moments connect to our identities, memories, and daily rhythms.Whether you're a dedicated healthy snacker or someone who occasionally indulges in those chemical-laden treats from childhood, you'll find yourself nodding along—and probably getting hungry. Join the Noras for this fun, food-focused conversation that might just change how you think about your pantry staples.Don't forget to follow our Instagram for teasers about our upcoming Night Cap with the Noras Episode!Mike Haggerty Buick GMCRight on the corner, right on the price!

Welcome to Episode 286 of Lucretius Today. This is a podcast dedicated to the poet Lucretius, who wrote "On The Nature of Things," the most complete presentation of Epicurean philosophy left to us from the ancient world. Each week we walk you through the Epicurean texts, and we discuss how Epicurean philosophy can apply to you today. If you find the Epicurean worldview attractive, we invite you to join us in the study of Epicurus at EpicureanFriends.com, where we discuss this and all of our podcast episodes. Today we close in on the ending of Part 2 - "Is Pain An Evil?." Last week we focused on Cicero's criticisms of Epicurus' PD04, and Cicero's argument that all we need to do to overcome pain is to approach it "like a man." This week, Cicero says that the call to virtuous conduct and overcoming of pain come from reason itself, which is the master of the soul. To what extent Epicurus agrees is what we'll be discussing when we pick up with Section XX. https://www.epicureanfriends.com/thread/4498-episode-286-confronting-pain-with-reason-rather-than-with-virtue/

“Lewis was always engaging with some important piece of literature from the past,” says historian and classicist Emily Allen-Hornblower in this episode of The World in Time, edited from audio recorded at the memorial service held for Lewis H. Lapham in September 2024. “You can be chatting about the insanity of the current political landscape and quickly things would shift to how history repeats itself, how humanity simply does not learn. And Thucydides or Cicero would rear their heads. To quote Cicero, ‘To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?' Lewis understood that without the past, we lose the ability to think productively or even understand the present. He made himself a warrior for the humanities, putting up a splendid fight on behalf of the arts and letters. 'Til the end.” In this second of two episodes this week, we are joined once again by Lewis, first in the tributes and remembrances of his friends and colleagues and then in his own voice. Public Theater artistic director Oskar Eustis introduces the proceedings. Former Harper's Magazine literary editor Ben Metcalf recalls Lapham the mentor. Emily Allen-Hornblower reads from Homer and Baudelaire. Actor Alec Baldwin reads Mark Twain's essay “At the Funeral.” Actor Christopher Lloyd performs Prospero's epilogue from Shakespeare's The Tempest. Producer and director Sandy Gotham Meehan shares a letter by Flaubert. In audio from our archives, Lewis Lapham reads from “'Round Midnight,” his preamble to Music, the Fall 2017 issue of Lapham's Quarterly.

Welcome to Episode 285 of Lucretius Today. This is a podcast dedicated to the poet Lucretius, who wrote "On The Nature of Things," the most complete presentation of Epicurean philosophy left to us from the ancient world. Each week we walk you through the Epicurean texts, and we discuss how Epicurean philosophy can apply to you today. If you find the Epicurean worldview attractive, we invite you to join us in the study of Epicurus at EpicureanFriends.com, where we discuss this and all of our podcast episodes. Today we continue in Part 2 - "Is Pain An Evil?." Last week we focused on Cicero's observations that we can prepare ourselves for bodily pain through exercise and training, a point in which Cicero did not pick out Epicurus as an opponent, and on which the ancient Epicureans would likely have agreed, at least to an extent. This week, Cicero tells us that he is going to leave to the Stoics to argue that pain is not evil, and he himself is going to proceed to talk about his opinion on how to deal with bodily pain, whether you are a soldier or a philosopher. We'll be picking up today with Section XVIII, and we'll see that Cicero focuses his attack on Epicurus' Principal Doctrine 4, and that will give us a great opportunity to explore that doctrine more closely. https://www.epicureanfriends.com/thread/4492-episode-285-the-significance-of-the-limits-of-pain/

Send us a textThe Noras dive into the nostalgic world of board games, from classics like Monopoly and Scrabble to quirky favorites with names like "Sneaky Snacky Squirrels." Did you know Monopoly was initially rejected by Parker Brothers for being "too complicated"? Or that games can be categorized into four fundamental types: race games, space games, chase games, and displacement games? These frameworks help explain why we gravitate toward certain games and avoid others.Along the way, we explore summer's hottest trends (sardine-themed decor, anyone?), discuss bizarre banned baby names from around the world (no, you can't name your child Santa Claus), and introduce the surprisingly effective "poop rule" for decluttering your home. Plus, we follow the strange case of an escaped pet zebra in Tennessee, which leads to an important question: why would anyone want an unpredictable exotic animal that tends to attack people?Whether you're a dedicated game night enthusiast or someone who runs at the sight of a Monopoly board, join us for this playful exploration of how games shape our relationships and reflect our personalities.
