In this week's episode, Jared and Chris explore the difference between creating procedures people follow and building systems people believe in. They explore New Zealand's coffee culture, why team buy-in matters instead of just compliance, and what happens when employees are asked to adopt systems they didn't help create. Along the way, they discuss how strong teams embrace challenges during change — and why respected long-term employees often become the key stewards of lasting system improvement.

Uno de los problemas de la quimioterapia es que puede inducir la senescencia celular el envejecimiento prematuro de las propias células tumorales y de las sanas presentes en los tejidos adyacentes… Se detiene su división, pero no mueren y pueden producir sustancias inflamatorias que dificultan la recuperación del paciente y promueven la resistencia a la terapia. Un equipo internacional de científicos ha descubierto que unas toxinas presentes en la anémona de mar podrían ser efectivas contra esas células senescentes. Hemos hablado con María Ikonomopoulou, investigadora del IMDEA Nutrición y líder de la investigación, y con Álvaro Martínez del Pozo, que también ha participado en este estudio. Montse Villar nos ha hablado de Cloud-9, un reciente y sorprendente descubrimiento de una enorme nube de gas de hidrógeno neutro y materia oscura sin estrellas ni luz visible que nunca llegó a formar una galaxia, y que constituye un fósil del universo primitivo que desafía las teorías actuales de formación galáctica. En la Antártida, miles de investigadores participan en estos momentos en las campañas de investigación que se llevan a cabo durante el verano austral. Este año con una peculiaridad que nos ha contado Javier Cacho: una base rusa con un solo componente. Pilar Quijada nos ha informado de un interesante estudio sobre como grupo reducido de células distintas de las neuronas influye en la pérdida de memoria por cannabis en adolescentes.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Henry Cloud shares the biggest lesson he's learned from decades as an acclaimed psychologist, author, and leadership expert. Am I making the right decision to leave my husband of six years? He is a pastor but refuses to share his finances or provide financial support. My husband of 36 years is a high-functioning alcoholic. I tried to leave, but it caused constant conflict—how do I stop letting him push my buttons? I'm in a friendship with a Christian man who kisses me on the lips, and we give each other massages, but I want a committed relationship. Should I go no contact and move on?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jim discusses why parents need to allow their adult children to learn through natural consequences and be careful not to enable them.

When your website stops working at 3 AM, you need to answer one question fast: Is it my code or is a big cloud provider having problems? Omri Sass from Datadog explains updog.ai, a tool that monitors whether major services like AWS, CloudFlare, and others are actually working. Instead of asking people to report problems like Down Detector does, updog uses real data from thousands of computers to detect when services go down. Omri shares why this took 6 years to build, how they process massive amounts of data with machine learning, and why cloud providers have been strangely upset about these tools existing.About Omri: Omri Sass is a Director of Product Management at Datadog, where he leads and supports a team of 25+ product managers driving initiatives across Bits AI SRE, Data Observability, Service Management, and most recently, the launch of updog.ai.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Henry Cloud discusses his personal journey of faith and how the science of psychology affirms the truth of the Bible. My 26-year-old son with Asperger's lives with me after leaving the Army and often reacts strongly to what others say. His siblings want me to create a contract with him; how should I respond? My adult son struggles with alcohol and possibly Adderall. He becomes angry when I confront him. Is this my responsibility, or is it something he and his wife need to address? How do I help my 13-year-old son? His father is trying to coerce him into living with him, and my son has colitis and has said he doesn't deserve to live.
Augustus Doricko is Founder and CEO at Rainmaker, a company using cloud seeding, drones, and radar to increase rain and snow as water scarcity and drought intensify across the West. In this episode of Inevitable, the conversation focuses on why cloud seeding—often misunderstood as science fiction or geoengineering—has existed for decades and why it has only recently become possible to prove it actually works.The discussion centers on the industry's core constraint: attribution. For years, operators couldn't measure whether precipitation would have occurred anyway. Doricko explains how advances in dual-polarization radar and targeted flight paths now make it possible to identify human-caused snowfall, unlocking a path to scale.Doricko also walks through Rainmaker's vertically integrated approach, from weather-resistant drones and proprietary radar to software and validation systems, and why the company focuses on snowpack as a bankable water source. The episode also addresses public scrutiny, regulatory bans, and what it takes to build water infrastructure in a category that's easy to misunderstand but increasingly necessary.Episode recorded on Dec 16, 2025 (Published on Jan 20, 2026)In this episode, we cover: [1:53] Cloud seeding vs geoengineering [3:27] How cloud seeding works and its history[9:14] When and how it became commercially deployable [15:28] Advantages of using drones vs manned aircraft [18:34] The limits of today's validation methods [24:54] Why Rainmaker focuses on snowpack first [27:34] Rainmaker's go to market[29:34] Acquiring legacy operators to scale faster[32:40] Why Rainmaker sells services, not water[38:25] State bans, politics, and public backlash[40:39] Chemtrails and Texas flood controversies[47:15] The future of cloud seeding in the US and abroad Enjoyed this episode?

Randy Dillard, Sales and Transaction Tax Lead at TaxConnex, joined Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, for a Cloud Communications Alliance (CCA) podcast focused on one of the most complex—and often underestimated—issues facing cloud communications providers today: telecommunications tax compliance. Dillard explained that TaxConnex serves as a specialized outsourcing partner for telecom and transaction tax compliance, working closely with regulatory experts to deliver a unified approach that spans sales and use tax, telecom-specific taxes, and state and local filing obligations. Unlike general accounting firms, TaxConnex is purpose-built for the telecom and cloud communications industry, where tax requirements can extend far beyond state-level filings into counties, cities, and even ZIP-code-level jurisdictions. He emphasized that telecom taxation is fundamentally different from standard sales tax, with layered obligations that can include “tax on tax,” recurring billing changes, credits, and constant regulatory updates. With more than 50 states, thousands of local jurisdictions, and frequent filing deadlines, providers face significant risk if compliance processes are not handled accurately and consistently. Dillard also stressed the importance of timing, noting that providers should engage a telecom tax specialist before launching new services or expanding into new markets—not after revenue is already flowing. “It often makes sense to pause and speak with a telecom tax advisor before you open that honeypot,” Dillard said. “Understanding your obligations upfront can save you from costly penalties, audits, and surprises down the road.” TaxConnex's role, he explained, goes beyond filing returns. The company provides monthly tax liability reporting that shows what has been collected, where it is assigned, and how it will be remitted—giving providers visibility and confidence that nothing is slipping through the cracks. This becomes even more critical as AI-driven services and usage-based models create unexpected spikes in transactions and tax exposure. As an active member and sponsor within the Cloud Communications Alliance, TaxConnex views its role as helping demystify telecom tax compliance so providers can focus on growth, innovation, and customer success—while staying compliant in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.

Reaction and Response to "Why Roman Catholics Should Not Become Orthodox?"What if the hunger for stability isn't nostalgia, but a compass? Cloud of Witnesses discussion panel today is made up of John St John, James St Simon, Mario Andrew, and Jeremy Jeremiah. The panel reacts to a pro-Catholic video that warns against becoming Orthodox and use it to surface the deeper questions: where does authority live, how does doctrine truly develop, and what keeps worship both beautiful and trustworthy?We react to a polemical Roman Catholic video urging Catholics not to convert to Eastern Orthodoxy and test its claims about apostolic unity, papal authority, doctrinal development, and universality. Along the way we share personal stories, weigh history against worship, and ask what sustains faith without constant change.• claims about Peter, Rome and Antioch• first among equals versus universal jurisdiction• councils as the arbiter of faith• slowness as protection against novelty• filioque and changes to the Creed• Marian dogmas and the limits of development• beauty and recognition in unchanging liturgy• ethnicity, national churches and real unity• pastoral gaps, weak catechesis and frustration• how to speak to Catholics considering OrthodoxyWe start with apostolic unity and the claim that Peter's office guarantees visible communion. From there, we trace how Orthodoxy understands primacy as “first among equals,” rooted in the shared authority of the apostles and the ecumenical councils. The conversation tests historical flashpoints—Peter in Antioch, Chalcedon weighing Leo's Tome, and moments when Rome's stance faltered—asking whether unity requires a single final arbiter or a conciliar process that takes time to mature. Rather than papering over differences, we probe them: is slow consensus a weakness, or a safeguard against novelty?Doctrinal development takes center stage as we compare clarifications in the West with what the East calls faithful continuity. We wrestle with the filioque's addition to the Creed, later Marian dogmas, and the principle that the symbol of faith should not be amended. Along the way, we get personal: stories of Catholics who feel adrift amid liturgical inconsistency, the draw of Orthodox worship that “feels” ancient because it is, and the complicated mix of ethnicity and universality that outsiders often misread. Beneath jurisdictions, we argue, stands a single sacramental life held together by councils, shared prayer, and a reluctance to innovate.If you've ever wondered why some Catholics look East, or how Orthodoxy claims to hold the line without a papal office, this conversation gives you history, theology, and lived experience in equal measure. Listen, reflect, and tell us where you stand—what convinces you most: authority, continuity, or the beauty that calls you home?Questions about Orthodoxy?
