I take Perplexity Computer for its first real spin and test five use cases that founders can use right now to make money and move faster. I connect my Gmail live, let the AI send cold outreach on my behalf, set up daily competitive intelligence monitoring, research 50 VCs for a mock Series A, and kick off a full investment memo on Shopify, all in a single session. By the end, I walk away genuinely impressed and convinced the $200/month Max plan can pay for itself with one closed deal. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 00:35 – What We're Testing Today 02:35 – Use Case 1: Warm Outbound at Scale 15:31 – Use Case 2: Automated Competitive Intel 25:11 – Use Case 3: Investor Pipeline Research (50 VCs) 26:58 – Use Case 4: Turn a Podcast Into a Content Machine 31:39 – Use Case 5: Live Market Diligence (Shopify Investment Memo) 34:17 – Bonus: Additional Use Cases Worth Trying 36:06 – Closing Thoughts and Takeaways Key Points Perplexity Computer runs multiple research tasks in parallel using sub-agents, skills, and tools — functioning like a virtual analyst working across the open internet. The cold outreach workflow found real email addresses, researched each prospect's recent activity, and drafted hyper-personalized emails that reference specific details — then sent them through a connected Gmail account. Setting up recurring competitive intelligence monitoring (daily reports, weekly sponsor tracking) is where the tool shifts from a one-off assistant to a persistent agent running on autopilot. The VC pipeline research use case demonstrates how founders who lack a warm network can still build a structured, targeted investor list with fund sizes, thesis alignment, and partner contacts. At $200/month on the Max plan, the cost pays for itself if even one sponsorship deal or investor meeting closes from the outreach. The platform already supports connectors for Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, HubSpot, Ahrefs, Reddit, and more — making it a serious contender for centralized founder workflows.

Send a textIn this episode of the Endless Possibilities podcast, Gareth Duignam explores the concept of spiritual bypassing, where individuals use spirituality to avoid facing unresolved emotional wounds. He discusses the importance of shadow work, the dangers of spiritual consumerism, and how relationships serve as mirrors for our inner struggles.

Thomas Marriott, General Manager of Exotics Keeper breaks down what he observed during his second trip to New Caledonia — this time during the dry season.

Spoiler alert—they did not stick together. In Ahsoka's fourth episode, “Fallen Jedi,” a cascade of escalating duels marks the most impactful episode of the series so far.

As experienced facility professionals retire and workforce demographics shift, the FM industry is approaching what many are calling a demographic cliff. In today's episode, host Wayne Whitzell is joined by researcher and associate professor Dr. Jake Smithwick to break down the data behind shrinking labor pools, rising safety risks and productivity challenges, and why so many new technicians are entering the field without hands-on experience. They explore the growing gap between generational work expectations, the critical role mentorship plays in knowledge transfer and retention, and how AI can act as a powerful support tool. Time Stamps:00:00 Introduction01:37 Meet Dr. Jake Smithwick01:56 Jake's Background and Experience03:46 The Role of IFMA in Jake's Career07:23 The Impact of Demographic Shifts12:06 COVID-19 and Workforce Changes17:48 Generational Differences in the Workforce21:16 Building Relationships with Experienced Colleagues21:36 The Urgency of Knowledge Transfer in FM22:18 IFMA's Facility Fusion Conference22:58 Opportunities for Young Professionals23:14 The Role of Authenticity in the Workplace26:32 The Impact of AI on Mentoring and Workforce27:21 Augmented Intelligence: A New Perspective on AI29:26 The Future of AI in the Workforce30:43 Mentoring: A Key to Job Satisfaction36:21 IFMA's Research and Data Collection40:13 Closing Thoughts and Future OutlookResources mentioned:Interested in having Jake speak at your next component meeting?

In this episode, Dr. Greg Jones welcomes back Kim Look to explore the cutting-edge landscape of EBOO (Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation). While many are familiar with traditional ozone therapy, EBOO represents a significant evolution, enabling the treatment of much larger volumes of blood through a sophisticated filtration and gas exchange system.Kim breaks down the "same but different" mechanics of EBOO compared to standard Major Autohemotherapy (MAH), explaining how the therapy acts as a "bio-detox" rather than just a mechanical filter. They discuss the controversial "waste cup" often seen on social media, the crucial role of Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation (UBI), and why EBOO is becoming a powerful tool for navigating long-haul symptoms, Lyme disease, and general longevity. Finally, Kim shares essential safety protocols, including the specific nutritional prep required to prevent blood sugar crashes during treatment.Whether you're a patient looking to improve skin health at a cellular level or a provider interested in the evolving field of regenerative aesthetics, this episode offers a science-backed, practical framework for understanding what truly drives skin regeneration and longevity.

John X hosts the third episode of “Born In Trouble” with guests Robert Brooks (in-studio) and Andrew Johnson (host of the Men Money and Marriage Podcast). The conversation ranges from reactions to a Spanish-language halftime performance and public discomfort with other cultures, to concerns that the U.S. is increasingly divided and “full of” contradictions. They discuss faith and the idea that there is only one God/Jesus, argue that protecting vulnerable children is a moral imperative, and condemn pedophilia while criticizing how high-profile cases and trials are drip-fed to distract the public. They talk about Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell's alleged intelligence ties, and claim Epstein did not want Black people on the island, framing it as “white on white crime,” while cautioning against pulling Black people in as scapegoats. They revisit Michael Jackson, suggesting allegations were tied to power and music publishing, describing how he amassed catalogs (including the Beatles and Sony-related publishing) and used leverage in the industry, including returning Little Richard's rights. The episode also covers immigration and business incentives to exploit undocumented labor, including avoiding taxes/benefits, and connects this to broader U.S. history and Manifest Destiny, arguing people are “coming back” to land taken from Mexico. They speculate about hidden history, restricted sites like parts of the Grand Canyon, and debates over identity, criticizing tribalism and the use of slurs within communities. Andrew shares concerns about his daughter's future, rising costs, and the increasing age of first-time homebuyers; they discuss 50-year mortgages as “glorified renting” and how lack of equity could discourage divorce. They debate AI's impact on jobs, suggesting timelines are exaggerated but warning about motives, and they argue screen-based schooling and phone dependence reduce creativity and critical thinking in Gen Z. They briefly mention hypocrisy around anti-LGBTQ rhetoric (including Grindr spikes during Republican conventions) and insist people should be judged by character rather than group identity. The episode closes with a warning about scapegoating, references to “ghetto loans” from mortgage work, commentary on hypocrisy in politics and culture, and a sign-off framing the episode as “Devil Worshipers,” with plans for future episodes and a possible one-on-one with Grant Lancaster. 00:00 Cold Open and Guests 01:02 Valentine's Day Banter 02:49 Welcome to Born In Trouble 03:40 Super Bowl Halftime Debate 05:47 Do We Stand for Anything 06:19 Faith and Protecting Kids 08:40 Immigration and Business Incentives 10:57 Division and Distraction Politics 12:35 Michael Jackson Revisited 15:02 Publishing Power and Catalog Wars 18:06 Epstein Network and Race 23:01 Manifest Destiny and Hidden History 25:34 Identity Tribalism and Language 28:55 When Did It Get So Tribal 29:16 Tribal Cities Talk 31:18 Parenting and Housing Fears 32:25 Looking Rich Economy 33:22 Fifty Year Mortgages 36:16 Aging Out the Demo 37:32 AI Jobs Reality Check 42:02 Screen Age Kids 45:05 Tribalism and Community 49:19 LGBTQ and Hypocrisy 54:17 Closing Thoughts and Signoff

I sit down with my dear friend Vin (Internet Vin) for a deep, hands-on walkthrough of how he uses Obsidian and Claude Code together as a thinking partner, idea generator, and personal operating system. Vin demonstrates live how Claude Code can read, reference, and surface patterns across an entire Obsidian vault of interlinked markdown files — turning years of personal notes into actionable insights, project ideas, and even custom commands. This episode covers everything from the basic setup to advanced workflows like tracing how ideas evolve over time, generating contextual startup ideas, and delegating tasks to autonomous agents. If you are serious about getting the most out of LLMs, this is the episode that shows you how your own writing becomes the fuel.

Obsidian is uniquely valuable because it sits on top of interlinked markdown files; the new Obsidian CLI lets Claude Code see both the files and the relationships between them. Vin built custom slash commands (/trace, /connect, /ideas, /ghost, /drift, /challenge) that let him use Claude Code as a thinking partner — surfacing latent patterns, contradictions, and ideas he would never see on his own. Writing and daily reflection are the engine of the entire system: the more you write, the more context the agent has, and the more it can do for you. Vin maintains a strict rule that only he writes into the Obsidian vault — the agent reads and generates outputs separately, so pattern detection always reflects his own thinking.

Domination Derby: Arsenal Destroy Spurs 4-1 Away from Home as Eze Delivers, Raya Recovers and the Premier League Lead Returns to Five PointsArsenal respond in the only way that matters.After pressure built following Manchester City's win, the North London Derby became more than just another fixture — it became a test of control, intent and composure. And from the opening minutes, Arsenal delivered one of the most dominant performances ever seen at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.We break down the starting XI decisions, the absence of key names, and the early intensity that set the tone. The discussion then moves into the opening goal — Saka's persistence, Eze's sharp finish — and the familiar frustration of conceding immediately after taking the lead.There's an honest assessment of Declan Rice's error, David Raya's positioning, and whether Arsenal are gifting opponents moments rather than being broken down. But this episode isn't about collapse — it's about response.We analyse Raya's in-game recovery, Gyökeres' growing confidence in front of goal, and the structural adjustments that kept Arsenal on the front foot instead of retreating into caution. Timber's contribution, Mosquera's composure, and the subtle tactical shifts in midfield all come under the microscope.Eze's performance is given full attention — his decision-making, positioning, and the wider question of how Arteta has finally unlocked his best role. We also examine the ongoing Trossard debate and what Odegaard's return could mean ahead of Chelsea.The numbers tell their own story: territorial dominance, touches in the box, xG control. But the episode goes deeper than the stats — into mentality, game management, and the standards required in a title race.Part Two features the Matchweek 27 whip-around, where we assess Manchester City's narrow win, Liverpool's controversial late goal, Chelsea's dropped points, and the developing relegation battle. VARse returns with discussion on Forest, City, Palace and the automated offside debate.Arsenal restored the five-point lead.Now the question is whether they can sustain this level of control.Chelsea up next.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(00:51) - Line-Up Reaction & “Not North London” Display Debate(03:48) - Early Intent & Fast Start(08:18) - 0-1 | Eze Finishes After Saka's Work(10:46) - 1-1 | Rice Error & Raya Questioned(13:16) - The Longest Half-Time Ever(15:46) - Raya's Save & Regaining Composure(16:47) - 1-2 | Gyökeres Strikes With Authority(18:13) - Disallowed Spurs Goal & Gabriel Controversy(21:22) - 1-3 | Eze at the Double(22:20) - Raya Big Save & Redemption Moment?(24:01) - Saka Injury Concern(24:58) - 1-4 | Gyökeres Seals It Late(28:03) - Match Stats & Dominance Breakdown(31:52) - Trossard Debate & Tactical Adjustments(37:29) - Raya Form Discussion(45:42) - Eze Role Analysis & Arteta Comments(52:34) - PT.2 Whip Around the Grounds (MW27)(59:30) - VARse: Forest, City & Palace Decisions(01:10:56) - MW27 Title Race, UCL Qualification & Relegation Battle(01:18:55) - Closing Thoughts

In today's episode, Gina describes how movement can help us in our anxiety recovery, and also how intense movement can work against it. A number of slower, gentler forms of movement and exercised are recommended for realizing the benefits of exercise without risking excessive cortisol release and increasing anxiety. Strenuous exercise does have a place, but it is recommended to be selective with using it, especially during anxiety recovery.Stillpoint Fridays is my once-a-week Friday note — a slower, more personal reflection that's different from what I share on the podcast.

While we've often leaned on the mantra that moving our bodies is a remedy for stress, today I invite you to reconsider the intensity of those workouts. Many people find themselves feeling wired and edgy after a high-intensity session rather than the calm they anticipated—this is not a personal failing. It's essential to understand that when we push our already stressed nervous systems beyond their capacity, we may inadvertently exacerbate our feelings of anxiety.We live in a culture that idolizes rigorous training and relentless commitment to fitness, often overlooking the unique needs of our bodies and minds. When the body is subjected to intense workouts while already managing elevated levels of cortisol, the experience can feel less like a beneficial challenge and more like an added threat. The physiological response triggers a cycle of heightened stress chemistry, leading to difficulties in sleeping, increased irritability, and an overall sense of being overwhelmed.I emphasize the importance of recognizing movement not solely as an endeavor to achieve goals but as a signal to our nervous systems. Intense exercise may communicate urgency and threat, whereas gentler, rhythmic movements convey safety and calm. Activities like slow walking, gentle yoga, or even tasks like gardening, provide a stabilizing rhythm that can nurture the mind and body. This perspective shifts the narrative from one of intensity to one of attunement—listening to our bodies and responding to their needs.#AnxietyRelief #NervousSystemRegulation #GinaRyan #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #CortisolControl #VagusNerveHealing #MindfulMovement #TiredButWired #GentleMovement #SomaticHealing #MentalHealthAwareness #WalkingForHealth #LowImpactFitness #BodyAttunement #StressManagement #VagalTone #BilateralStimulation #RestorativeFitness #HolisticHealing #ListenToYourBody #MorningAnxiety #BurnoutRecovery #MindBodyConnection #SelfCareDaily #MentalWellness #CalmMind #YogaForAnxiety #Overstimulation #SlowLiving #PeaceAndCalm #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if everything we've been told about math education is backwards? In this episode of Trending in Education, Mike Palmer is joined by Ted Dintersmith,venture capitalist, filmmaker, and author of the upcoming book Aftermath: The Life-Changing Math That Schools Won't Teach You to discuss why our schools are still teaching low-level math mechanics that phones and AI already do perfectly. You can learn more about Ted's work at What Schools Could Be. Ted shares his journey from the world of high-tech innovation to becoming a "code red" alarmed citizen advocate for radical school change. We dive into how high-stakes exams are inadvertently training students to compete with AI in areas where computers are unbeatable, while ignoring the creative and conceptual math, like probability, decision-making frameworks, and estimation, that actually shapes lives. From Moneyball statistics to the dangers of misinterpreting healthcare data, Ted explains why math should be a tool for empowerment rather than a metric for punishment. We also take a "lightning round" trip through Ted's prolific career, including his work with the late Sir Ken Robinson and his influential documentaries Most Likely to Succeed and Multiple Choice. Whether you're a parent trying to preserve your child's curiosity or an educator looking for a more relevant curriculum, this conversation offers a refreshing and urgent blueprint for what school could be.

In Sermon on the Mount — Episode 2 of Straight Bible, we continue a deep verse-by-verse breakdown of one of the most important teachings of Jesus. Rather than speaking to political systems or the crowds, Christ pulls His disciples aside and reveals what the Kingdom of God actually looks like in practice — challenging modern assumptions about righteousness, discipleship, and spiritual transformation.This episode explores how the Sermon on the Mount is not merely moral instruction, but a blueprint for forming people who can live out the culture of the Kingdom. From the Beatitudes to spiritual hunger, Jesus outlines an inward transformation that produces outward change — a message that remains radically relevant today.If you've ever wondered what Jesus truly meant by righteousness, obedience, and living differently from the world, this study brings historical context, biblical clarity, and practical application together in a straightforward and accessible conversation.

Arsenal went to Wolves knowing the margin for error was gone.What followed was a night that began with control, composure and an early breakthrough — and ended with frustration, defensive uncertainty and uncomfortable questions.In Part One, the panel break down the 2–2 draw at Molineux in detail. From the starting XI decisions and Saka's central role, to Declan Rice's early influence and the sense that the game should have been put to bed, the conversation moves through the turning points that shifted momentum.There's analysis of the second-half drop-off, the numbers behind the collapse, the defensive spacing issues, the Raya debate, and the substitutions that changed the rhythm of the game.Then comes the bigger discussion — mentality, game management, title pressure, and what this result means for Mikel Arteta's project. Is this a wobble, or something more structural? The bottle debate is addressed directly.Part Two shifts gears.There's reaction to Bukayo Saka's new contract and what it signals for Arsenal's future. The hosts discuss the recent fan incident outside the Emirates and player security. The prediction table returns. The North London Derby preview takes centre stage — injuries, tactical adjustments, and whether this is the perfect reset fixture after Wolves.And of course, the Spurs-themed “Who Am I?” returns — with a suitably painful answer.It's a raw, honest episode. Frustration, analysis and perspective — all before a defining derby weekend.

What if the key to "getting" more in life isn't about trying harder—but about giving more freely? In this episode, we explore the the Law of Circulation and how it shapes everything from our relationships, finances, and even to our overall sense of abundance. Through insights from both science and spirituality, we look at how nature itself models this truth—nothing thrives by holding on, but by allowing energy to move. When we consciously choose to give—whether it's love, attention, generosity, or presence—we create space for something new to flow back into our lives.We also talk about how aligning with these universal laws can transform not just what we experience externally, but who we become internally.

In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. Louise Hecker, Associate Professor of Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. Together, they dive into Louise's recent research exploring how psilocybin, the active compound in psychedelic mushrooms, may influence aging biology at the cellular and organismal level.Louise shares the story behind her curiosity about psilocybin, sparked by conversations with a friend and fueled by a lack of scientific answers. She explains how her team overcame regulatory hurdles to study the effects of psilocybin on human cells and aging mice. Their findings showed that psilocybin extended cellular lifespan and reduced hallmarks of aging, such as oxidative stress and DNA damage. In mice, regular dosing improved survival, reversed visible signs of aging, and affected organs beyond the brain.The conversation also covers the challenges of translating these findings into humans, the need for more research on dosing and safety, and the importance of funding in moving this field forward. Louise encourages listeners to stay curious, think beyond established paths, and keep an open mind as new questions and discoveries emerge in the science of aging.Guest-at-a-Glance

In episode 603 of Lawyerist Podcast, Zack Glaser sits down with Karin Conroy to examine how AI is changing the rules of law firm marketing and what that means for lawyers who want to stand out for the right reasons.   Karin explains why expertise, not automation, is what rises to the top in an AI filtered world. As large language models reshape how potential clients search for answers, shortcuts like keyword stuffing and mass produced content are quickly losing their impact. What stands out instead is real authority built through credibility, third party validation, media appearances, and consistent messaging across platforms.  The conversation also challenges the idea that your website is your first impression. In today's landscape, visibility often starts elsewhere. Zack and Karin unpack how referral systems support a larger authority strategy and what it truly means to move from building, to stabilizing, to growing your marketing in a deliberate and sustainable way.  Listen to our previous episodes with Karin:   #559: The Imitation Trap: Lessons from 15 Years of Top Law Firm Websites , with Conroy Creative Counsel (Sponsored) Apple | Spotify | LTN   #546: Unlock Law Firm Growth: AI marketing Secrets with Karin Conroy Apple | Spotify | LTN   #584: How to Stay Human in the Age of AI-driven Law Firm Marketing, with Creative Conroy Apple | Spotify | LTN      Links from the episode:  https://conroycreativecounsel.com/    Have thoughts about today's episode?

What a banger! What a bop! Ahsoka's third episode, “Time to Fly,” isn't just a visual and auditory delight—it also reframes what it means to be Force-sensitive.In our discussion, we parse the ways that Force sensitivity has been treated across Star Wars, from the “anyone could be a Jedi!” spirit of the original trilogy to the introduction of midichlorians. With this episode, Star Wars seems to strike a subtle balance between the two that opens up new realms of possibility.We also talk about Hera being a woman in the workforce, Sabine's lineage of unconventional Jedi masters, and PURRGIL!

Arsenal step away from Premier League pressure and into the FA Cup — and for 45 minutes, it looks effortless.In this episode of The Non-Negotiables Podcast, we break down the 4–0 win over Wigan Athletic, where four first-half goals settled the tie early and allowed Mikel Arteta to rotate heavily. We discuss the starting XI surprises, Calafiori's latest warm-up withdrawal, and the long-anticipated experiment of Bukayo Saka operating centrally.There's a deep dive into the first-half performance — Eze's influence, the combinations between Saka and Madueke, Martinelli's clinical finish, and Nørgaard's standout display. Was this simply lower-league opposition being exposed, or did we see tactical clues for the weeks ahead?We also assess the second-half slowdown, Gyökeres' introduction, and the home debuts for Salmon and Setford — moments that reflect squad depth and internal culture.From there, attention turns to the FA Cup draw. Mansfield away awaits, Manchester City travel to Newcastle, and the pathway opens slightly — but questions remain.Part two shifts into bigger concerns. We address Arsenal's mounting injury issues — recurring patterns, squad construction, recovery methods, and whether the modern game is shortening careers at the top level. Is this bad luck, load management, or something structural?Finally, we preview the trip to Wolves. With Odegaard and others doubtful, does Saka stay central? Is this the moment for a tactical pivot? And with Arsenal chasing control at the top of the table, is this simply a must-win — or a tone-setter for the run-in?All that, plus this week's “Who Am I?” featuring a 1971 double winner.Control restored — but bigger questions are building.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(00:51) - FA Cup Context: Rotation & Calafiori Warm-Up Injury(03:47) - Saka Central?(06:01) - Eze's First-Half Influence(09:35) - 1–0 | Madueke Finished, Eze Assist(10:51) - 2–0 | Martinelli Rifles It Home(12:30) - 3–0 | Own Goal & Saka–Madueke Link-Up(15:25) - 4–0 | Jesus Scores, Nørgaard Delivers(17:36) - Second-Half Coast & Gyökeres Chance(19:15) - Home Debuts: Salmon & Setford(22:30) - Match Stats Breakdown(23:57) - FA Cup Draw: Mansfield Away & City at Newcastle(30:39) - PT.2 Who Am I?

In this episode Houston legend Mike D — the man many call the original King of Lean — unpacks the true story behind codeine culture in the American South. Before “lean” was a mainstream rap flex… before double cups and purple memes… there was a street-level hustle that changed Houston forever. Mike D breaks down how promethazine with codeine went from a quiet substitute for heroin to a full-blown cultural phenomenon — influencing DJ Screw, the Screwed Up Click, and icons like Pimp C, Bun B, and Lil Wayne. What started as something passed around on the corner turned into an underground empire moving thousands of dollars a day — long before law enforcement even understood what was happening. In this interview, we cover: * How Mike D became Houston's go-to supplier * The birth of “drank” culture inside DJ Screw's house * The economics of the codeine black market * Street wars between Houston neighborhoods * Texas prison brutality and plantation-style incarceration * The real story behind Pimp C's death * Addiction, droughts, and what happens when supply dries up * How music and drugs fed off each other to build a movement This isn't just a drug story. It's a story about culture, capitalism, addiction, loyalty, betrayal — and how one underground market reshaped Southern hip-hop forever. From Astroworld fights to state prison bids… from Mercedes at 16 to moving cases of syrup… Mike D tells it all. Go Support Mike!
