Have you ever felt like the project manager of your relationship —the planner, the therapist, the reminder system, the emotionalregulator — and somewhere along the way, you stopped feelinglike a partner and started feeling like a mom?In Episode 315 of Secret Life Podcast, Brianne Davis-Ganttintroduces a term you haven't heard yet but won't be able tounsee once you do: CinderFellas. Men unconsciously seeking awoman to mother them — not love them, not partner with them.And before anyone gets defensive: this isn't about shaming men.This is about a dependency dynamic that both people create,and both people can change.In this episode, Brianne covers:— Why this isn't a masculine problem — it's a dependency problem,and it can happen in any relationship, including same-sex couples— How the "CinderFella" dynamic forms: society teaches boys howto build careers but never teaches them emotional intellect,so they grow into adulthood still searching for someone toprovide emotional containment— The irony at the center of it all: the more she mothers him,the less masculine he becomes — and the more masculine shebecomes. Nature hates a vacuum.— How this becomes The Fantasy Loop™: both people invest inthe potential of the relationship instead of the reality —he's fantasizing about eventually being rescued, she'sfantasizing about eventually being able to fix him— The questions every man needs to ask: Where am I outsourcingmy responsibility? Where am I waiting to be motivated? Wheream I expecting my partner to regulate emotions that belong to me?— The questions every woman needs to ask: Where am I over-functioning? Where am I rescuing? Where have I become hismother instead of his partner?— Why rescuing and supporting are not the same thing — and whyrescuing someone from discomfort actually weakens them— What real love actually is: not built on who needs who, buton two people who can stand on their own and still chooseeach other every day— Concrete first steps for both partners — starting tonightThis episode is going to hit some nerves. That's the point.The thing that triggers us often reveals exactly where weneed to grow.Resources at secretlifepodcast.comShare your secret: secretlifepodcast@icloud.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Paul tells the Galatians to "walk around in the Spirit" but his point is that the Spirit is more than a means to something better. The Spirit is the source itself. Walking through Galatians 5 we see a life where believers walk about unshackled, out of chaos we receive one fruit, and we are walking toward Eden. Along the way we see the sin we rarely admit: trying to "program our way out of our flesh" through accountability and discipline. But because of Christ's finished work, we don't live in chaos, fear, and self-destruction. We do not need our own self-will. We are free and even better, we are not alone. SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS Where do you, or the culture around you, hold the belief that growth is mainly self-improvement and restraint, rather than walking toward the Spirit as the source? What is your "concrete block" like Kiki the Gorilla? What is it you hold onto in anger, but in the freedom of the Spirit can lay down as a new creation? How do we see Christ's finished work walking us past Eden into a garden city, the New Heavens and New Earth--to a world being remade?

The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua!Today:Dinosaurs on Noah's Ark?  Dinosaur tracks and human artifacts within the same fossil layers?  Fresh biological material within excavated dinosaur bones?  We have found water-soluble dinosaur DNA that has survived?You better buckle up.  Today's Kingdom Culture Conversation is going to spur a lot of conversations...Background:In the summer of 2016, the annual Crusaders Charge into Summer Reading campaign introduced us to Russ Miller, a storied and established Biblical creationist who lives, believe it or not, off-the-grid in a crater in northern Arizona.  If that were not crazy enough, during that summer, Miller introduced us to his book, "The Cost", and he made two audacious claims.First, Russ Miller claimed that the universe and all of creation was established by God in six 24-hour days, less than 10,000 years ago.  He claimed he had scientific and scriptural evidence to back up his claims.Second, Miller claimed that if our nation continued to deny God the creator and the concept of "Imago Dei" -- that we are created in the image and likeness of God, on purpose, and for a purpose -- our culture would go into a freefall, losing all concept of right and wrong, falling into chaos and disorder.Now, ten years later, Russ Miller is back and his warnings and worries have exploded into reality.  Our country and our culture are mired in confusion about truth, gender, marriage, race, identity, spirituality, and more.We are paying what Miller called "The Cost" of losing track of who we are and whose we are.Miller's latest book is "Consider the Cost" -- an updated and expanded version of "The Cost" that is available at no cost in the three offices of Northwest Christian School -- and his message remains the same:  we must understand that we were created by God on purpose -- we are not biochemical happenstance -- and we were created for a purpose.  We are loved and valued.  The truth is knowable.  We have a reason.  We have a mission.This summer, we're going deep into creationism.  We are going to spend time with audacious individuals who believe in Young Earth, Old Earth, Theistic Evolution, Geocentricity, and, yes, a Flat Earth.  Our journey will be anchored in God's word as we enjoy some pretty amazing conversations.But, at the end of the day, diverse positions aside, every moment and every word of the KingdomCultureConversations.com episodes that we will hear this summer (between May 11th and September 28th) will be rooted in one truth:  You were created on purpose and for a purpose.To learn more about Russ Miller and his organization, "Creation and Evolution Science Ministries", please follow this link.

When Skybound announced M.A.S.K. would be joining the Energon Universe, fans immediately had questions. How would Matt Trakker and Miles Mayhem fit alongside Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Void Rivals? Out this week, we sat down with writer Dan Watters and artist Pye Parr to discuss updating the classic property, designing its iconic vehicles, and why M.A.S.K. offers a unique perspective within the larger Energon Universe. We're running the full uncut interview, featuring even more discussion on cool cars, character dynamics, action sequences, and what readers can expect from the series moving forward. Plus, we recap the biggest comics news of the week, share our favorite new releases, and much more. NEWS Absolute Catwoman #1 heads back to press as DC announces 'Absolute Cassandra Cain' one-shot MAD celebrates 600 issues with new material, classic favorites, and Sergio Aragonés cover Batman, Superman, and "Weird Al" Yankovic unite for DC's strangest team-up yet Marvel launches 'Amazing Venom' starring Boomerang's symbiote-powered comeback Marvel returns to the Mangaverse with five-part 25th anniversary event this September Marvel Zombies returns this September with Punisher leading a desperate fight for survival Spider-Woman's 50th anniversary special launches a darker new chapter for Jessica Drew The Rolling Stones team up with Marvel for exclusive ‘Foreign Tongues' vinyl collector series David Colton's growing power takes center stage in new look at 'Avengers: Armageddon' #4 and 'Cap' Dark Horse launches new oversized Marvel Black & White line with Barry Windsor-Smith's landmark Weapon X Daniel Warren Johnson's 'Beta Ray Bill' gets oversized Artist's Edition in 2027 ROM joins the Energon Universe in surprise comic hidden inside 'M.A.S.K.' #1 blind bags Mike Mignola returns to Hell with new two-issue Hellboy story alongside Cyrille Pomès Shredder gets extended!

Dave: X-Men United #4 (Kris Anka Cover) Chris: Spectacular Spider-Man: Brand New Day #2 (Phil Jimenez and Alex Sinclair Main) Dan Watters Pye Parr - MASK #1 out June 10th  M.A.S.K. has always had a unique place in Hasbro history, sitting somewhere between G.I. Joe, Transformers, and its own thing. What aspects of the original property were most important to preserve, and where did you see opportunities to reinvent it for the Energon Universe? Matt Trakker's introduction is fascinating because he's being hunted by the military, yet it quickly becomes clear he wants to be captured. Why was that the right way to introduce him, and what does it reveal about who he is in this version of M.A.S.K.? Miles Mayhem comes across as both calculating and completely unhinged. His fear of Transformers and extraterrestrial threats gives him a very different motivation than a typical villain. What interested you about making him someone who might see himself as humanity's last line of defense? One of the most exciting ideas in M.A.S.K. has always been vehicles transforming into weapons and armor systems. Pye, what was the challenge of updating those iconic transformations for modern audiences while still capturing the toyetic fun fans expect? Dan, after writing Destro, what was appealing about tackling another corner of the Energon Universe? Did your experience with Destro help shape how you approached M.A.S.K., or did you want this book to have a completely different flavor? The first issue hints at a larger arms race involving technology and weapons that may not even originate on Earth. How much of M.A.S.K. is a spy thriller versus a science-fiction story, and where does it fit tonally alongside Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Void Rivals? Bruce Sato and Gloria Baker are positioned as key new recruits. What qualities do they bring to M.A.S.K. that complement or challenge Matt Trakker's leadership style? The original M.A.S.K. comic debuted in 1987 and had a very different view of global threats and military organizations. Were there any specific elements from that era that you deliberately updated to reflect modern anxieties and geopolitics? Fun question: If you could each claim one M.A.S.K. vehicle and mask from the entire franchise to use in real life for a week, which would you pick and what completely irresponsible thing would you do with it?

Mae Sandhouse yn ffilm o 2006 gan Jonathan Anderson, sy'n para 2 funud 44 eiliad. Mae'r ffilm yn darlunio tŷ ar ffurf fechan yng nghanol y sgrîn, wedi'i wneud o dywod heb ffenestri na drysau, ar draeth ym Mae Abertawe ar brynhawn gwyntog o wanwyn, wedi'i amgylchynu gan ddŵr ysgafn ewynnog wrth i'r tonnau ddechrau ysgubo ar draws o'r tu ôl i'r tŷ tuag atom. Mae darnau o wymon a cherigos wedi'u gwasgaru yn y tywod o amgylch y tŷ sy'n siglo'n ysgafn ar draws y dŵr wrth i'r llanw eu golchi i ffwrdd. Mae'r tonnau ysgafn yn taro ochrau'r tŷ, un ar ôl y llall, gan erydu'r waliau'n raddol nes bod y tywod unwaith eto'n dod yn rhan o'r traeth. Mae'r ffilm yn rhan o gyfres 'House' yr artist ac fe'i prynwyd yn 2011. Mae pedwar gwaith celf o'r gyfres hon yng nghasgliad parhaol yr oriel, Time and Tide, Sand House Mould, Concrete house a Concrete House with Coal Seam. Mae'r gwrthrychau y mae Anderson yn eu gwneud i bob golwg yn ymddangos yn syml ac fe'u gwneir yn aml o ddeunyddiau a gafwyd fel pridd, tywod, cerrig a llwch glo. Mae arwyddocâd arbennig y defnydd o lo yn gysylltiedig â gorffennol diwydiannol, cymdeithasol a gwleidyddol de Cymru wrth wneud sylw hefyd ar faterion amgylcheddol cyfredol. Defnyddiwyd cerflun Sand House Mould a wnaed o wydr ffibr, paent sglein a llwch glo fel offeryn i greu'r tŷ tywod yn y ffilm. Mae'r tŷ tywod ar ffurf fechan yn drosiad ar gyfer natur ddi-ildio bywyd sy'n destun grymoedd amgylcheddol y tu hwnt i reolaeth ddynol. Roedd y detholwr Meg Anthony, Cyfarwyddwr Oriel Myrddin, Caerfyrddin ar y pryd, o'r farn bod 'y gweithiau hyn yn farddonol ac yn hynod deimladwy gan fod ffurf y tŷ yn ein tynnu'n agos at enaid yr artist yn ogystal â chwestiynu anghytgord ar lefel gymdeithasol a gwleidyddol'.

Ffilm o 2008 gan Jonathan Anderson yw Time and Tide, sy'n para 10 funud 18 eiliad. Mae'r ffilm yn darlunio tŷ syml ar ffurf fechan yng nghanol y sgrin, wedi'i wneud o dywod heb ffenestri na drysau, ar draeth ym Mae Abertawe ar ddiwedd prynhawn gwyntog o aeaf, gyda gwrid gwasgarog pelydrau'r haul yn gynnar fin nos yn adlewyrchu ar draws y dŵr. Mae'r llanw'n sgubo'n ysgafn tuag at y tŷ gan ddisgleirio gydag ewyn gwyn wrth iddo ymchwyddo'n dawel, gan dynnu tywod a gwaddodion ar draws y traeth gyda phob ton. Yn raddol mae'r tonnau meddal yn erydu sylfaen y tŷ, nes iddo ddechrau cwympo gan golli pob ffurf yn y pen draw cyn i'r tywod ddod yn rhan o'r traeth unwaith eto. Mae'r ffilm yn rhan o gyfres 'House' yr artist ac fe'i prynwyd yn 2011. Mae pedwar gwaith celf o'r gyfres hon yng nghasgliad parhaol yr oriel, Time and Tide, Sand House Mould, Concrete house a Concrete House with Coal Seam.

Mae'r tŷ tywod ar ffurf fechan yn drosiad ar gyfer natur ddi-ildio bywyd sy'n destun grymoedd amgylcheddol y tu hwnt i reolaeth ddynol, ac mae'n ein hatgoffa o sylw Geoffrey Chaucer, sef ‘nid erys amser'. Roedd y detholwr Meg Anthony, Cyfarwyddwr Oriel Myrddin, Caerfyrddin ar y pryd, o'r farn bod 'y gweithiau hyn yn farddonol ac yn hynod deimladwy gan fod ffurf y tŷ yn ein tynnu'n agos at enaid yr artist yn ogystal â chwestiynu anghytgord ar lefel gymdeithasol a gwleidyddol'.

Time and Tide is a 2008 film by Jonathan Anderson, duration 10 minutes 18 seconds. The film depicts a simple miniature house in the centre of the screen, made of sand without windows or doors, on Swansea Bay beach on a windy winter late afternoon, the diffused glow of early evening sunlight rays reflecting across the water. The tide gently sweeping towards the house glistening with white foam as it surges peacefully, pulling sand and sediment across the beach with every wave. Gradually the soft waves erode the foundation of the house, until it slowly begins to collapse in on itself and eventually loses all form before the sand once again becomes part of the beach. The film is part of the artists ‘House' series and was acquired in 2011. There are four artworks from this series in the galleries permanent collection, Sandhouse, Sand House Mould, Concrete house and Concrete House with Coal Seam. The objects that Anderson makes are deceptively simple and are often made of found materials such as soil, sand, stone and coal dust. The particular significance of the use of coal has resonance with South Wales's industrial, social and political past whilst also making a commentary on current environmental issues. The Sand House Mould Sculpture made of fibreglass, gloss paint and coal dust was used as the tool to create the sand house in the film. The miniature sand house a metaphor for the intransigent nature of life which is subject to environmental forces beyond human control and brings to mind Geoffrey Chaucer's comment that ‘time and tide wait for no man'. Selector Meg Anthony, Director of Oriel Myrddin, Carmarthen at the time, considered ‘these works to be both poetic and profoundly moving as the house form draws us close to the artist's psyche as well as questioning (dis)harmony on a social and political level'.

Sandhouse is a 2006 film by Jonathan Anderson, duration 2 minutes 44 seconds. The film depicts a miniature house in the centre of the screen, made of sand without windows or doors, on Swansea Bay beach on a windy Spring afternoon, surrounded by foamy gentle water as waves begin to sweep across from behind the house towards us. Scattered in the sand around the house are fragments of seaweed and pebbles that sway gently across the water as the tide washes them away. The gentle waves crash into the sides of the house, one after another, gradually eroding the walls until the sand once again becomes part of the beach.

Notes Sample: “Replicas” by Tubeway Army Written and produced by Kinte Synopsis “Concrete Gardens” is about hope growing from damaged places. Built from a sample of “Replicas,” Kinte uses the image of life breaking through concrete as a symbol of Black resilience, survival, and community rebuilding. The song touches on polluted cities, lost green spaces, and the power of people to create beauty where the world left neglect. Chapter 5: Concrete Gardens After the pressure of the city, “Concrete Gardens” brings the first real sign of hope. In this chapter, life begins to grow through the cracks. The garden becomes a symbol of Black resilience, community strength, and the ability to build beauty in damaged places. Even in polluted cities and broken systems, people still plant, create, and survive. This is where the album begins to shift from warning to possibility. #ConcreteGardens #Kinte #BlackFuture Lyrics [Chorus] We grow dreams in the concrete gardens, Rose in the rubble where the truth stay hardened. If the world too cold, we harvest starlight, Plant tomorrow in the cracks make the dark bright. [Verse 1] Grandma used a coffee can, basil on the balcony, Now I'm growing hope in a city that don't honor me. Bees missing, birds quiet, air tasting like metal, Still I'm talking to the soil like, “Please don't settle.” They paved paradise, put a price on shade, Then ask why we angry when our kids can't play. I seen a seed beat odds like a drum through stone, That's Afrofuture making home out of “don't.” [Verse 2] We not “urban decay,” we urban design, We the blueprint, we the pulse, we the future line. If a garden can rise where the bullets once flew, Then the planet can heal if we tell it the truth. [Chorus] We grow dreams in the concrete gardens, Rose in the rubble where the truth stay hardened. If the world too cold, we harvest starlight, Plant tomorrow in the cracks make the dark bright.

One of the challenges of modern legal journalism is recalling that case law, doctrine, and Supreme Court decisions aren't a complete picture, without including the lived realities of the people whose lives and communities are often turned upside down by changes in the law.On Tuesday night, the Supreme Court's far-right flank vastly expanded its holding in Louisiana v. Callais to make it harder, if not impossible, to challenge racist voting maps designed to suppress Black votes. The shadow-docket decision misrepresented its own holding in Callais and discarded a case it had already decided. With the conservative supermajority tossing a lower-court panel's finding in Allen v. Milligan and further erasing voting rights for Black Americans across the country, Amicus revisits our 2022 conversation with Evan Milligan, the named plaintiff, at the time the case first came to the high court. Milligan explained what's at stake for the very real people living in gerrymandered districts in Alabama's Black Belt region; a gerrymander blessed this week that was forbidden just three years ago.Later, Dahlia Lithwick talks with Andrew Weissmann, an MS NOW legal analyst, NYU law professor, and veteran federal prosecutor who served as lead prosecutor under special counsel Robert S. Mueller and as chief of the DOJ's Fraud Section. Even with Opinionpalooza heating up at the high court, Weissmann pauses to analyze a busy week in democratic dismantling at the Justice Department and on Capitol Hill. And, Weissmann proposes something truly shocking— real accountability for public officials who lie, as laid out in his new bestselling book, Liar's Kingdom: How to Stop Trump's Deceit and Save America.

Most global businesses enter Asia with a playbook built elsewhere. The pricing models, growth assumptions, labour structures, and definitions of value that worked in North America or Europe get applied to markets that operate by fundamentally different rules. The result, as Eric Stryson has observed across nearly two decades of on-the-ground leadership work in Asia, is failure - not dramatic failure, but the slow erosion of credibility that comes from never truly understanding where you are.Eric Stryson is Managing Director at The Global Institute For Tomorrow (GIFT), an independent pan-Asian think tank with offices in Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur. He has designed and facilitated more than 60 experiential leadership programmes across fifteen countries in Asia and the Middle East, working with over 3,000 executives from organisations including HSBC, Petronas, Marriott, MasterCard, and Standard Chartered. His public sector clients include the Hong Kong SAR Government, the Dubai Government, and the Central Bank of Malaysia.In this episode, Eric argues that much of what organisations believe they know about Asia is filtered through AI systems, research, and analysis shaped by Western institutions and historical precedents. Even conventional online research surfaces insights produced predominantly by incumbent Western policy and academic bodies, reinforcing a narrow and often distorted lens. Challenging these assumptions, he contends, requires moving beyond second-hand analysis and grounding decision-making in on-the-ground observation and lived experience.From renegotiating what 'value' means to understanding why Western growth models break down in Asia's diverse political and social contexts, Eric offers a rare perspective on what it actually takes to operate credibly in a post-Western, Asia-led growth environment. Discussion Points·       Why Western-filtered research and AI-generated analysis fail businesses trying to understand Asian markets·       Concrete examples of Western business models and assumptions breaking down on the ground in Asia·       How Asian markets define value differently - and why pricing strategies built elsewhere so often misfire·       Why 'scale fast, dominate markets' growth assumptions need renegotiating in Asia's diverse contexts·       What nearly 20 years of field project work in Asia reveals that research reports and case studies don't·       How consumption patterns and labour structures in Asia require businesses to rethink core operating models·       What 'post-Western world' means in practice for businesses operating in China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East·       How to use AI tools responsibly when the training data reflects predominantly Western institutional perspectives·       Why Hong Kong businesses face an urgent reinvention moment - and what that looks like in practice·       The single most important thing Western businesses should do differently before entering or scaling in Asian marketsGuest BioEric Stryson is Managing Director at The Global Institute For Tomorrow (GIFT), an independent pan-Asian think tank with offices in Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur.

A hundred and fifty feet off the shore of Cape May sits one of the strangest shipwrecks in America... a massive ocean-going vessel built not from steel, but from concrete. Born from the desperation of World War I, the S.S. Atlantus was supposed to revolutionize shipping. Instead, it became a stranded monument to ambition, failure, and the relentless power of the sea. From wartime experiments and abandoned ferry schemes to daring rescues, ghost stories, and a century of decay, this is the incredible true story of New Jersey's most unusual shipwreck. On this episode, we explore the rise and fall of the legendary S.S. Atlantus, the "Floating Tombstone" of Cape May.   YouTube -  https://www.youtube.com/@HauntedAmericanHistory   TikTok - @hah_podcast   hauntedamericanhistory.com   Patreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGH   Barnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334       AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68S       EbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1   KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_ SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!

This episode of The Rizzuto Show starts the only way a true daily comedy show should: with public humiliation, shredded jeans, and one elderly witness silently watching Rizz eat absolute pavement outside the Wildwood post office.What begins as a simple “Hey honey, can you drop off these packages?” quickly becomes a full-blown middle-aged disaster movie. Rizz trips over a curb while carrying a giant box, launches packages across the parking lot, rips his jeans, and spends a solid 10 seconds on the ground questioning every life decision that led him there. No help. No sympathy. Just one old man staring from an SUV like he was witnessing nature take its course.And because this is The Rizzuto Show, the conversation somehow spirals into:the exact age when falling becomes medically concerning,why nobody looks cool hitting the ground,public embarrassment recovery strategies,and whether moving to Boca Raton is now inevitable.Meanwhile, Rafe contributes his own trauma after stepping barefoot into dog poop… TWICE… within 30 seconds. One pile was mystery poop. The other was homemade. There are Q-tips involved. There's bleach involved. There's emotional scarring involved.The gang also debates:whether you admit clogging a gas station toilet on a road trip,what happens if cartel money washes up on shore,the morality of keeping accidental extra cash from a cashier,shady stereotypes about car salesmen, lawyers, tow truck drivers, and real estate agents,and if you should narc on your boss's underage kid at the bar.Plus:Lern wants a boxy old-school car because modern vehicles “look like Pixar characters,”Scott continues operating as the neighborhood HOA nobody asked for,and Rafe may or may not become the unofficial “cool uncle” for the Rizzuto children.It's another completely normal day for your favorite daily comedy show, where every conversation starts somewhere reasonable and ends with somebody discussing bathroom disasters or federal crimes.Honestly, if you've ever fallen in public, stepped in something disgusting, lied after damaging a parked car, or debated laundering cartel money through a casino buffet… congratulations.

This conversation with Gil Broza goes straight at a question many product leaders are quietly wrestling with: how do you bring AI into product development without breaking everything that already works? Gil, author, coach, and long-time agility expert, returns to talk with Matt and Moshe about “reshaping product development for AI's impact,” focusing not on building AI features, but on how AI is changing the way product and engineering teams work day to day. He argues that while AI massively increases speed and output, it doesn't change the fundamentals of good product development: clear direction, evidence-based judgment, solid technical foundations, and healthy teams. Join Matt and Moshe as they explore with Gil: - Why AI is a “turbo engine in a car with old brakes” if you drop it into a system designed for human speed. - How leaders confuse more output with more value, and why faster code can just mean “legacy code years ahead of schedule”. - The difference between real agility and “performative Agile” (ceremonies, Jira theater) when AI tools are doing more of the work. - How to think in systems: what you're actually optimizing for (predictability, innovation, time-to-value) and how AI changes the constraints and feedback loops in your org. - Practical blind spots leaders miss with AI adoption: - Treating AI as an implementation, not a transformation - Ignoring cognitive load and burnout when people work all day with agents - Shrinking teams for “efficiency” and accidentally increasing isolation - The three main ways to use AI in product development, and why you should be explicit about each: - As a pairing partner (thinking, coding, design) - As an autonomous agent - As “just” automation (summaries, note-taking, etc.) - Why skipping prototyping and experiments is now “less excusable” when AI can create testable prototypes in hours instead of weeks. - What changes (and doesn't) in roles like PM, engineer, and scrum master when AI becomes a real team member. - Concrete steps leaders can take: apply systems thinking, revisit mindset and values, redesign ways of working for AI-speed conditions, and invest in continuous improvement again. - How Gil's new courses (“Reshaping Product Development for AI's Impact” and “Leading AI-Enabled Product Teams”) help product and engineering leaders do this work intentionally.

For decades, DIYers and construction pros have picked up yellow and red bags of Quikrete concrete mix from the shelves of America's big box stores like Home Depot and used it for everything from anchoring mailboxes to patching driveways and making outdoor benches and steps. That in turn has generated billions of dollars for the little-known company and the little-known family behind the brand.  But their time in the shadows may have come to an end. In February 2025, the privately-held building materials firm made a big splash when it paid $11.5 billion to acquire publicly traded competitor Summit Materials. The deal, which Forbes estimates boosted Quikrete's revenue by around 50% to an estimated $12 billion, helped propel the Atlanta-based company onto Forbes' first ever ranking of America's Largest Family Businesses, published this week, at No. 43. Based on Forbes' estimates, Quikrete is the 17th most valuable privately-held family business in America, making its founding Winchester family one of the country's richest clans, worth an estimated $18 billion, thanks to their estimated 100% ownership of Quikrete. “We're proud of our heritage as an American, family-run company that has helped revolutionize the building and home improvement industries,” said Quikrete's longtime former CEO Jim Winchester in a press release celebrating the company's 75th anniversary in 2015. “From day one, my father Gene Winchester was driven to meet the needs of both contractors and homeowners with the highest-quality products at fair market value, and that commitment remains a core value of Quikrete today.” By Matt Durot, Forbes Staff Learn more about your ad choices.

What if "student voice" isn't the goal? In this episode, guest Adam Fletcher reframes the conversation around Meaningful Student Involvement—a deeper, more transformative approach built on student–adult partnerships, confronting adultism, and cultivating personal engagement from kindergarten through graduation. Adam argues that education is not just preparation for democracy—it is the bedrock of civil society itself. When students are true partners in learning, teaching, and leadership, schools become places where young people practice being community members, decision-makers, and engaged citizens now. You'll walk away with practical frameworks (the Three-Legged Stool of School Transformation and the Cycle of Student Engagement) and real examples from classrooms, schools, and national initiatives that make this work tangible at any level. What You'll Learn Why student voice alone is not enough The difference between student voice, engagement, and meaningful involvement How adultism quietly shapes schools—and how to confront it What personal engagement really looks like (beyond compliance) The Three-Legged Stool: structure, culture, and attitudes The Cycle of Student Engagement: listen → validate → authorize → act → reflect Concrete examples from a classroom, a school, and a national policy initiative Why meaningful student involvement may be the most important response to AI in schools Timestamps 00:00 Why students must be drivers in a transformative time 02:00 What "meaningful student involvement" really means 03:00 What student voice is—and what it is not 05:00 Student–adult partnerships explained 06:30 Understanding and confronting adultism 08:10 Personal engagement vs. compliance 12:15 The Three-Legged Stool: structure, culture, attitudes 16:00 The Cycle of Student Engagement framework 20:00 Examples: national PTA policy work, a K–12 school transformation, and a third-grade classroom 24:00 Common challenges: competition vs. collaboration in education systems 26:30 AI, corporate interests, and why student involvement matters more than ever 28:00 Where to start: The Guide to Meaningful Student Involvement 31:00 Learning from non-white and Indigenous perspectives on democracy 33:00 Where to find Adam's free resources and publications Get Your Episode Freebie & More Resources On My Website: https://www.lindsaybethlyons.com/blog/258 Connect with guest Adam Fletcher  Website: adamfletcher.net

Live from across the ocean and right in the heart of Washington D.C., this episode bridges small-town farm traditions with high-stakes national anxieties. The morning kicks off with U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer calling in from the nation's capital to chat about the economic and military chess match at the U.S.–China summit, the true scale of the AI arms race, and local battles over debt and taxes in Fargo. Then, Hayden and Titus from the NDSU Turning Point USA chapter take the mic to tackle the terrifying realities of an emergent AI surveillance state, drawing eerie parallels to Orwell's 1984. We keep "Feel Good Friday" alive with Jett Yoder from Father's Farm, sharing powerful redemption stories of turning lives around through faith and farm work.

Elbridge Colby explains that the U.S. strategy aims to preserve American security, freedom, and prosperity by building a coalition to check Chinese regional predominance. This coalition is rooted in concrete interests rather than shared ideology; therefore, members do not necessarily have to be democracies. Colby identifies four primary filters for coalition membership: defensibility, cost, resolve, and power. Defensibility is the ability of a nation to hold on long enough to contribute to the collective effort, while cost is critical because U.S. interests in Asia, though vital, are not existential for the American public.

If 2027 is your year for Italy, this episode is where the planning starts. Not with a destination list and not with a Google search but with the questions that many travelers skip. These are the ones that can make a big difference to your trip. Katy walks you through three big questions to answer before you get into the weeds of your planning.  The episode closes with 2-3 things to do this week. Concrete, low-effort, and the kind of start that means you are making decisions ahead of the game rather than under pressure. Andiamo! 

During the 1960s, theorists like Jeremiah Ostriker used early computers to determine that spiral galaxies would be unstable and "fly apart" without a massive spherical halo of unseen matter. This theoretical need found concrete evidence through the pioneering work of Vera Rubin and Kent Ford. By observing the Andromeda galaxy, they discovered that rotational velocities did not diminish at the outer edges, a phenomenon called "flattening the curve." This proved that a significant amount of invisible mass must exist to provide the necessary gravity. To map this mass, modern astronomers use gravitational lensing, an effect predicted by Einstein where gravity bends light from distant objects. This work continues in Chile at the Vera Rubin Observatory, which is designed to map the distribution of dark matter across space and time. (2/8)2020 ESA EUCLID

In today's episode, a program that offers free admission to Vermont State Parks again this year, some residents in Plainfield are working on building dozens of new housing units and designating a percentage as affordable housing, and a trip to the new Waterbury skatepark.

One evening in April 2006, a person sat at their kitchen table, frantically cutting up the page of a newspaper with some scissors. They were working on an important project, and it was almost done. They finished cutting the final letter from the page and pasted it onto a sheet of paper. Then they leaned back to read the message they'd assembled from the scraps. It was a warning. And they were sure it would have exactly the effect they were hoping for.   You can WATCH all new & exclusive MrBallen podcast episodes on my YouTube channel, just called "MrBallen" - https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallen If you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @mrballen Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
