The Story Behind the Bottle: Why Your Clinic's Origin Story Matters In this episode, Doc Danny Matta shares a powerful lesson about storytelling, sparked by a birthday gift—a 1985 bottle of wine with an incredible backstory. What started as a meaningful gesture turned into a masterclass on how stories give depth, emotion, and memorability to everything—from a bottle of wine to your physical therapy clinic. Quick Ask Help us reach our goal of adding $1B in cash-based services to the profession—share this episode with a clinician friend or post it on your Instagram stories and tag Danny. He'll reshare it! Episode Summary The Gift: Danny tracks down a rare 1985 bottle of wine as a 40th birthday gift—and discovers that the story behind it matters more than the wine itself. The Lesson: The story gives meaning. Without it, even something valuable loses its emotional connection and memorability. The Parallels: Your clinic is your “bottle of wine.” Patients remember stories—why you started, who you help, and what drives you. Sales takeaway: Facts tell, but stories sell. The human brain connects more deeply through narrative and emotion. Real-world example: A clinician with an ACL tear who now helps ACL patients isn't just selling rehab—she's sharing a relatable journey. How to Use This Lesson Craft your origin story: Write down what you do, who you help, and why you do it. Practice your story: Tell it naturally at workshops, networking events, or in your videos and social posts. Refine it fast: Use short “elevator pitch” versions for local groups or online intros. Be specific: Generic stories get forgotten. Details and personal experiences make you memorable. Share it everywhere: On your website, your Google listing, your email signature, and every patient interaction. Mindset & Application Without story, there's no stickiness: People remember emotion, not bullet points. Context multiplies impact: A great gift or clinic means more when people understand the meaning behind it. Social proof amplifies belief: Just like the wine connoisseur validated Danny's gift, testimonials validate your service. Repetition builds clarity: The more you share your story, the more confident and authentic it becomes. Notable Quotes “You may have an awesome bottle of wine, but if people don't know the story behind it, it doesn't hit the same way.” “Your clinic is your bottle of wine—your story makes it memorable.” “Facts tell. Stories sell.” Action Items Write your origin story: What you do, who you help, and why you do it. Practice telling it to patients, referral partners, and community contacts. Add your story to your website's About section and intro videos. Share a short version at your next local event or online post.

First CISO Charged by SEC: Tim Brown on Trust, Context, and Leading Through Crisis - Interview with Tim Brown | AISA CyberCon Melbourne 2025 Coverage | On Location with Sean Martin and Marco CiappelliAISA CyberCon Melbourne | October 15-17, 2025Tim Brown's job changed overnight. December 11th, he was the CISO at SolarWinds managing security operations. December 12th, he was leading the response to one of the most scrutinized cybersecurity incidents in history.Connecting from New York and Florence to Melbourne, Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli caught up with their longtime friend ahead of his keynote at AISA CyberCon. The conversation reveals what actually happens when a CISO faces the unthinkable—and why the relationships you build before crisis hits determine whether you survive it.Tim became the first CISO ever charged by the SEC, a distinction nobody wants but one that shaped his mission: if sharing his experience helps even one security leader prepare better, then the entire saga becomes worthwhile. He's candid about the settlement process still underway, the emotional weight of having strangers ask for selfies, and the mental toll that landed him in a Zurich hospital with a heart attack the week his SEC charges were announced."For them to hear something and hear the context—to hear us taking six months off development, 400 engineers focused completely on security for six months in pure focus—when you say it with emotion, it conveys the real cost," Tim explained. Written communication failed during the incident. People needed to talk, to hear, to feel the weight of decisions being made in real time.What saved SolarWinds wasn't just technical capability. It was implicit trust. The war room team operated without second-guessing each other. The CIO handled deployment and investigation. Engineering figured out how the build system was compromised. Marketing and legal managed their domains. Tim didn't waste cycles checking their work because trust was already built."If we didn't have that, we would've been second-guessing what other people did," he said. That trust came from relationships established long before December 2020, from a culture where people knew their roles and respected each other's expertise.Now Tim's focused on mentoring the next generation through the RSA Conference CSO Bootcamp, helping aspiring CISOs and security leaders at smaller companies build the knowledge, community, and relationships they'll need when—not if—their own December 12th arrives. He tailors every talk to his audience, never delivering the same speech twice. Context matters in crisis, but it matters in communication too.Australia played a significant role during SolarWinds' incident response, with the Australian government partnering closely in January 2021. Tim hadn't been back in a decade, making his return to Melbourne for CyberCon particularly meaningful. He's there to share lessons earned the hardest way possible, and to remind security leaders that stress management, safe spaces, and knowing when to compartmentalize aren't luxuries—they're survival skills.His keynote covers the different stages of incident response, how culture drives crisis outcomes, and why the teams that step up matter more than the ones that run away. For anyone leading security teams, Tim's message is clear: build trust now, before you need it.AISA CyberCon Melbourne runs October 15-17, 2025 Coverage provided by ITSPmagazineGUEST:Tim Brown, CISO at SolarWinds | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-brown-ciso/HOSTS:Sean Martin, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.comCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to share an Event Briefing as part of our event coverage?

Today on the AI Daily Brief, we explore why the next great AI platform war isn't about models at all—but about context: who owns it, how it's organized, and which platforms can access it. From Slack and Salesforce positioning themselves as the “agentic OS” of the enterprise to Google, Microsoft, and Grammarly battling to anchor AI agents in the data-rich environments where people already work, the competitive edge is shifting from model quality to contextual depth. As enterprises move toward “context engineering”—the discipline of making organizational data accessible and usable by AI—control over contextual ecosystems may define the next era of AI dominance. In the headlines, OpenAI announced plans to design its own self-optimizing chips through a new partnership with Broadcom.Brought to you by:Is your enterprise ready for the future of agentic AI?⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit AGNTCY.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit Outshift Internet of Agents⁠⁠⁠⁠Google Gemini - Try NotebookLM today https://notebooklm.google.com/KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.

Beyond Blame: Navigating the Digital World with Our KidsAISA CyberCon Melbourne | October 15-17, 2025There's something fundamentally broken in how we approach online safety for young people. We're quick to point fingers—at tech companies, at schools, at kids themselves—but Jacqueline Jayne (JJ) wants to change that conversation entirely.Speaking with her from Florence while she prepared for her session at AISA CyberCon Melbourne this week, it became clear that JJ understands what many in the cybersecurity world miss: this isn't a technical problem that needs a technical solution. It's a human problem that requires us to look in the mirror."The online world reflects what we've built for them," JJ told me, referring to our generation. "Now we need to step up and help fix it."Her session, "Beyond Blame: Keeping Our Kids Safe Online," tackles something most cybersecurity professionals avoid—the uncomfortable truth that being an IT expert doesn't automatically make you equipped to protect the young people in your life. Last year's presentation at Cyber Con drew a full house, with nearly every hand raised when she asked who came because of a kid in their world.That's the fascinating contradiction JJ exposes: rooms full of cybersecurity professionals who secure networks and defend against sophisticated attacks, yet find themselves lost when their own children navigate TikTok, Roblox, or encrypted messaging apps.The timing couldn't be more relevant. With Australia implementing a social media ban for anyone under 16 starting December 10, 2025, and similar restrictions appearing globally, parents and carers face unprecedented challenges. But as JJ points out, banning isn't understanding, and restriction isn't education.One revelation from our conversation particularly struck me—the hidden language of emojis. What seems innocent to adults carries entirely different meanings across demographics, from teenage subcultures to, disturbingly, predatory networks online. An explosion emoji doesn't just mean "boom" anymore. Context matters, and most adults are speaking a different digital dialect than their kids.JJ, who successfully guided her now 19-year-old son through the gaming and social media years, isn't offering simple solutions because there aren't any. What she provides instead are conversation starters, resources tailored to different age groups, and even AI prompts that parents can customize for their specific situations.The session reflects a broader shift happening at events like Cyber Con. It's no longer just IT professionals in the room. HR representatives, risk managers, educators, and parents are showing up because they've realized that digital safety doesn't respect departmental boundaries or professional expertise."We were analog brains in a digital world," JJ said, capturing our generational position perfectly. But today's kids? They're born into this interconnectedness, and COVID accelerated everything to a point where taking it away isn't an option.The real question isn't who to blame. It's what role each of us plays in creating a safer digital environment. And that's a conversation worth having—whether you're at the Convention and Exhibition Center in Melbourne this week or joining virtually from anywhere else.AISA CyberCon Melbourne runs October 15-17, 2025 Virtual coverage provided by ITSPmagazine___________GUEST:Jacqueline (JJ) Jayne, Reducing human error in cyber and teaching 1 million people online safety. On Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacquelinejayne/HOSTS:Sean Martin, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.comCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to share an Event Briefing as part of our event coverage?

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly summit on Neutralizing Workplace Racism 10/09/25. The US government "shutdown" continues with no end in site. Airports across the continent report that large numbers of air traffic controllers, a group that was already dangerous understaffed, have been calling out sick. These are "essential employees" and federal workers, but, apparently, the lack of a paycheck has compelled some employees to save gas and remain unpaid at their residence as opposed to landing planes for free. President Trump then threatened that furloughed employees may not receive back pay for the time they were not compensated during the "shutdown." Depending on how long this stoppage lasts, this could amount to thousands of dollars lost per employee. So much for the stability of "government employment." Gus suspects this gridlock could continue into November and beyond. Non-white people should prepare accordingly. #NoPoliticsOnTheJob #INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: http://cash.app/$TheCOWS Call: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

The Mind-at-Large Project is a three-year, multidisciplinary initiative exploring consciousness and its role in reality. Mind-at-Large seeks to expand this paradigm - investigating the mind's presence across scales, from quantum systems and living organisms to ecosystems and the cosmos itself. This series examines ideas such as panpsychism, pantheism, idealism, 4E cognition, animism, perspectivism, and non-human intelligence, while also engaging with extraordinary phenomenologies found in psychedelic experiences, mystical states, and anomalous consciousness.TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) – Introduction: The Mind-at-Large Project – Consciousness Beyond the Brain(02:30) – Setting the Stage: Bridging Science, Philosophy & Mysticism(06:10) – What Does “Mind-at-Large” Mean?

“Be perfect” (Matt. 5:48) and “anxious for nothing” (Phil 4:6). This tall order from the New Testament may put modern parents into a cold sweat. Parental perfectionism and anxiety are surely on the rise, but in his annual Headmaster's Lecture at The Heights School, Alvaro de Vicente talks us down. He shows us the compatibility and wisdom of these two Biblical encouragements by refocusing on the process of growth—moral, academic, athletic, and spiritual—over simply the apparent results.

AI Assisted Coding: From Deterministic to AI-Driven—The New Paradigm of Software Development, With Markus Hjort In this BONUS episode, we dive deep into the emerging world of AI-assisted coding with Markus Hjort, CTO of Bitmagic. Markus shares his hands-on experience with what's being called "vibe coding" - a paradigm shift where developers work more like technical product owners, guiding AI agents to produce code while focusing on architecture, design patterns, and overall system quality. This conversation explores not just the tools, but the fundamental changes in how we approach software engineering as a team sport. Defining Vibecoding: More Than Just Autocomplete "I'm specifying the features by prompting, using different kinds of agentic tools. And the agent is producing the code. I will check how it works and glance at the code, but I'm a really technical product owner." Vibecoding represents a spectrum of AI-assisted development approaches. Markus positions himself between pure "vibecoding" (where developers don't look at code at all) and traditional coding. He produces about 90% of his code using AI tools, but maintains technical oversight by reviewing architectural patterns and design decisions. The key difference from traditional autocomplete tools is the shift from deterministic programming languages to non-deterministic natural language prompting, which requires an entirely different way of thinking about software development. The Paradigm Shift: When AI Changed Everything "It's a different paradigm! Looking back, it started with autocomplete where Copilot could implement simple functions. But the real change came with agentic coding tools like Cursor and Claude Code." Markus traces his journey through three distinct phases. First came GitHub Copilot's autocomplete features for simple functions - helpful but limited. Next, ChatGPT enabled discussing architectural problems and getting code suggestions for unfamiliar technologies. The breakthrough arrived with agentic tools like Cursor and Claude Code that can autonomously implement entire features. This progression mirrors the historical shift from assembly to high-level languages, but with a crucial difference: the move from deterministic to non-deterministic communication with machines. Where Vibecoding Works Best: Knowing Your Risks "I move between different levels as I go through different tasks. In areas like CSS styling where I'm not very professional, I trust the AI more. But in core architecture where quality matters most, I look more thoroughly." Vibecoding effectiveness varies dramatically by context. Markus applies different levels of scrutiny based on his expertise and the criticality of the code. For frontend work and styling where he has less expertise, he relies more heavily on AI output and visual verification. For backend architecture and core system components, he maintains closer oversight. This risk-aware approach is essential for startup environments where developers must wear multiple hats. The beauty of this flexibility is that AI enables developers to contribute meaningfully across domains while maintaining appropriate caution in critical areas. Teaching Your Tools: Making AI-Assisted Coding Work "You first teach your tool to do the things you value. Setting system prompts with information about patterns you want, testing approaches you prefer, and integration methods you use." Success with AI-assisted coding requires intentional configuration and practice. Key strategies include: System prompts: Configure tools with your preferred patterns, testing approaches, and architectural decisions Context management: Watch context length carefully; when the AI starts making mistakes, reset the conversation Checkpoint discipline: Commit working code frequently to Git - at least every 30 minutes, ideally after every small working feature Dual AI strategy: Use ChatGPT or Claude for architectural discussions, then bring those ideas to coding tools for implementation Iteration limits: Stop and reassess after roughly 5 failed iterations rather than letting AI continue indefinitely Small steps: Split features into minimal increments and commit each piece separately In this segment we refer to the episode with Alan Cyment on AI Assisted Coding, and the Pachinko coding anti-pattern.  Team Dynamics: Bigger Chunks and Faster Coordination "The speed changes a lot of things. If everything goes well, you can produce so much more stuff. So you have to have bigger tasks. Coordination changes - we need bigger chunks because of how much faster coding is." AI-assisted coding fundamentally reshapes team workflows. The dramatic increase in coding speed means developers need larger, more substantial tasks to maintain flow and maximize productivity. Traditional approaches of splitting stories into tiny tasks become counterproductive when implementation speed increases 5-10x. This shift impacts planning, requiring teams to think in terms of complete features rather than granular technical tasks. The coordination challenge becomes managing handoffs and integration points when individuals can ship significant functionality in hours rather than days. The Non-Deterministic Challenge: A New Grammar "When you're moving from low-level language to higher-level language, they are still deterministic. But now with LLMs, it's not deterministic. This changes how we have to think about coding completely." The shift to natural language prompting introduces fundamental uncertainty absent from traditional programming. Unlike the progression from assembly to C to Python - all deterministic - working with LLMs means accepting probabilistic outputs. This requires developers to adopt new mental models: thinking in terms of guidance rather than precise instructions, maintaining checkpoints for rollback, and developing intuition for when AI is "hallucinating" versus producing valid solutions. Some developers struggle with this loss of control, while others find liberation in focusing on what to build rather than how to build it. Code Reviews and Testing: What Changes? "With AI, I spend more time on the actual product doing exploratory testing. The AI is doing the coding, so I can focus on whether it works as intended rather than syntax and patterns." Traditional code review loses relevance when AI generates syntactically correct, pattern-compliant code. The focus shifts to testing actual functionality and user experience. Markus emphasizes: Manual exploratory testing becomes more important as developers can't rely on having written and understood every line Test discipline is critical - AI can write tests that always pass (assert true), so verification is essential Test-first approach helps ensure tests actually verify behavior rather than just existing Periodic test validation: Randomly modify test outputs to verify they fail when they should Loosening review processes to avoid bottlenecks when code generation accelerates dramatically Anti-Patterns and Pitfalls to Avoid Several common mistakes emerge when developers start with AI-assisted coding: Continuing too long: When AI makes 5+ iterations without progress, stop and reset rather than letting it spiral Skipping commits: Without frequent Git checkpoints, recovery from AI mistakes becomes extremely difficult Over-reliance without verification: Trusting AI-generated tests without confirming they actually test something meaningful Ignoring context limits: Continuing to add context until the AI becomes confused and produces poor results Maintaining traditional task sizes: Splitting work too granularly when AI enables completing larger chunks Forgetting exploration: Reading about tools rather than experimenting hands-on with your own projects The Future: Autonomous Agents and Automatic Testing "I hope that these LLMs will become larger context windows and smarter. Tools like Replit are pushing boundaries - they can potentially do automatic testing and verification for you." Markus sees rapid evolution toward more autonomous development agents. Current trends include: Expanded context windows enabling AI to understand entire codebases without manual context curation Automatic testing generation where AI not only writes code but also creates and runs comprehensive test suites Self-verification loops where agents test their own work and iterate without human intervention Design-to-implementation pipelines where UI mockups directly generate working code Agentic tools that can break down complex features autonomously and implement them incrementally The key insight: we're moving from "AI helps me code" to "AI codes while I guide and verify" - a fundamental shift in the developer's role from implementer to architect and quality assurance. Getting Started: Experiment and Learn by Doing "I haven't found a single resource that covers everything. My recommendation is to try Claude Code or Cursor yourself with your own small projects. You don't know the experience until you try it." Rather than pointing to comprehensive guides (which don't yet exist for this rapidly evolving field), Markus advocates hands-on experimentation. Start with personal projects where stakes are low. Try multiple tools to understand their strengths. Build intuition through practice rather than theory. The field changes so rapidly that reading about tools quickly becomes outdated - but developing the mindset and practices for working with AI assistance provides durable value regardless of which specific tools dominate in the future.

In this episode, Jason Leydon and Ryan discuss the importance of load management in high volume sports, emphasizing the need for proper training volume and recovery strategies. They explore the differences in athlete capabilities, the significance of tracking both internal and external loads, and the implications of performance enhancement in sports. The conversation highlights the necessity for coaches to understand individual athlete needs and the potential consequences of high-volume training without adequate preparation.   Takeaways Load management is crucial in high volume sports. Athletes need individualized training based on their capabilities. Tracking internal load is as important as external load. Movement economy affects long-term athlete durability. High volume training without foundation leads to burnout. The acute to chronic workload ratio helps in training decisions. Coaches must account for lifestyle factors affecting performance. Proper recovery protocols enhance athlete performance. Communication between athletes and coaches is vital. The future of enhanced sports raises health concerns.

Why did Ilham Aliyev agree to sign the Washington Accords and start the process of normalization? Nerses Kopalyan explains that the decision was rooted in a strategic recalibration, shifts in U.S. negotiation tactics, incentive structures and Baku's internal calculations about its future leverage.

In today's English episode, Aaron takes his lunch break from work to sit down with his intern, Corban, for a conversation about the principles Aaron uses to evaluate fellowship with churches of like and similar faith and practice. As believers, we are not meant to live in isolation. Yet, within the German context, we often lack the luxury of clear criteria for establishing such fellowship. That's why we must rely on biblical principles and godly wisdom to discern, build, and nurture fellowship with other churches and believers.

Amey Desai, the Chief Technology Officer at Nexla, speaks with host Sriram Panyam about the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and its role in enabling agentic AI systems. The conversation begins with the fundamental challenge that led to MCP's creation: the proliferation of "spaghetti code" and custom integrations as developers tried to connect LLMs to various data sources and APIs. Before MCP, engineers were writing extensive scaffolding code using frameworks such as LangChain and Haystack, spending more time on integration challenges than solving actual business problems. Desai illustrates this with concrete examples, such as building GitHub analytics to track engineering team performance. Previously, this required custom code for multiple API calls, error handling, and orchestration. With MCP, these operations can be defined as simple tool calls, allowing the LLM to handle sequencing and error management in a structured, reasonable manner. The episode explores emerging patterns in MCP development, including auction bidding patterns for multi-agent coordination and orchestration strategies. Desai shares detailed examples from Nexla's work, including a PDF processing system that intelligently routes documents to appropriate tools based on content type, and a data labeling system that coordinates multiple specialized agents. The conversation also touches on Google's competing A2A (Agent-to-Agent) protocol, which Desai positions as solving horizontal agent coordination versus MCP's vertical tool integration approach. He expresses skepticism about A2A's reliability in production environments, comparing it to peer-to-peer systems where failure rates compound across distributed components. Desai concludes with practical advice for enterprises and engineers, emphasizing the importance of embracing AI experimentation while focusing on governance and security rather than getting paralyzed by concerns about hallucination. He recommends starting with simple, high-value use cases like automated deployment pipelines and gradually building expertise with MCP-based solutions.

She provides an example of "bad" vs. "good" communication, urging data professionals to speak the language of the business.Measuring Value with Business Outcomes (40:00): She outlines how to measure the value of data governance by connecting it to business outcomes like increased revenue or improved customer service. Malcolm Hawker: The Data Hero PlaybookFrom Limiting Mindset to Growth Mindset (56:00): Hawker discusses why he wrote the book, calling the current moment a "do or die" opportunity for CDOs. He challenges the "limiting mindset" that leads to defeatism.Customer-Driven, Not Data-Driven (1:08:00): He urges data leaders to be "customer-driven, not data-driven," emphasizing the need for data teams to become more business literate.The Power of Product Management (1:14:00): Hawker advocates for bringing product management disciplines into data teams. This approach focuses on putting the customer at the center and ensures that data products are economically viable and tied to ROI.Key Quotes:"It is not technology first, strategy second. It is strategy first, technology second.” - Geoff Woods"The companies that are treating data as something that helps drive business outcomes are thinking about data at the beginning and set up at the end." - Wendy Batchelder“If you deliver value to your customers, if you are the lever of change and transformation in your organization, if you show value from data, you will get a seat at the table." - Malcolm HawkerMentionsThe AI-Driven Leader: Harnessing AI to Make Faster, SmarterHow AI is transforming strategy developmentData Governance Handbook: A practical approach to building trust in data5 key reasons why data analytics is important to businessThe Data Hero Playbook: Developing Your Data Leadership SuperpowersCDOs and CDAOs: Rethink your role or fade awayGuest Bios:About Geoff Woods Geoff Woods is the #1 bestselling author of The AI-Driven Leader, host of the AI-Driven Leader podcast, and Founder of AI Leadership and The AI-Driven Leadership Collective™, a highly vetted network of executives collaborating to harness AI to build better businesses and better lives.

When it comes to leading a team, there's no such thing as too much information.Good leadership is about good communication. And for General Stanley McChrystal, that means creating a culture of free-flowing information: “The goal is to have everyone know everything all the time,” he says.McChrystal is a retired four-star general, former commander of US and international forces in Afghanistan, and a renowned leadership expert. In his experience building cohesive teams in complex environments, he's discovered that successful teams are built on a “shared consciousness [where] all have a common contextual understanding of what the situation is.” The key to creating that kind of culture, he says, is radical transparency — from leaders and subordinates alike. Whatever your position, “You are responsible for informing other people of things that they need to know,” he says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, McChrystal and host Matt Abrahams discuss how to build shared consciousness within teams, how to communicate across cultural divides, and how to lead with clarity, context, and character.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:General Stanley McChrystalGeneral McChrystal's Books: On Character / Team of Teams155.

Today, we're joined by Jacob Buckman, co-founder and CEO of Manifest AI to discuss achieving long context in transformers. We discuss the bottlenecks of scaling context length and recent techniques to overcome them, including windowed attention, grouped query attention, and latent space attention. We explore the idea of weight-state balance and the weight-state FLOP ratio as a way of reasoning about the optimality of compute architectures, and we dig into the Power Retention architecture, which blends the parallelization of attention with the linear scaling of recurrence and promises speedups of >10x during training and >100x during inference. We review Manifest AI's recent open source projects as well: Vidrial—a custom CUDA framework for building highly optimized GPU kernels in Python, and PowerCoder—a 3B-parameter coding model fine-tuned from StarCoder to use power retention. Our chat also covers the use of metrics like in-context learning curves and negative log likelihood to measure context utility, the implications of scaling laws, and the future of long context lengths in AI applications.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, guest host Aanya talks with innovation coach and life-design expert Ibeth Ayala, author of No Risk, No Fun and From the Ground Up. This conversation cuts through buzzwords to show how real innovation begins with self-honesty, not strategy decks. Ibeth unpacks her Connect → Create → Try framework, how to spot rising stress before burnout, and why “permission to fail” accelerates progress in careers and companies—especially in legacy industries like insurance. If you're navigating exhaustion, change, or a high-stakes role, this episode offers a direct path to clarity, creativity, and sustainable action. About the Guest  : Ibeth Ayala is an innovation coach, life-design expert, and internationally best-selling author. After a personal reset in her 20s, she's spent years guiding leaders and teams to shift from burnout to bold creativity, building innovation capacity across sectors from insurance to aviation. Key Takeaways: Innovation is an inner game first. External tactics don't land without personal clarity on needs, priorities, and values. Burnout ≠ only about work. Life stress compounds; address the whole system—relationships, health, money, career—rather than a single silo. Use the 3-step loop:Connect (self-check: what do I need?), Create (options, reframes), Try (small experiments to validate). Catch stress early. Rate stress 1–10 and intervene sooner; prevention beats recovery. Drop inherited beliefs. Question norms like “marriage/work is supposed to be hard” and choose what actually serves your life design. Permission to fail—fast. In teams, name failure as expected learning. The sooner you see what doesn't work, the faster you progress. Risk drives momentum. No risk, no fun: calibrated risks unlock creativity and engagement, especially in traditional sectors. Context matters. Diets, routines, and advice are abstractions until personalized to age, health, history, and goals. Design your “ground.” Clear the old (assumptions, limits) before planting new habits—like prepping soil before a garden. Sustainable innovation = ongoing tuning. You don't need to hit rock bottom; build awareness and adjust before crisis.

# Understanding Reconciliation Through the Book of Philemon In our continued exploration of lesser-known biblical texts, this week's focus is on the Book of Philemon, a brief yet profound epistle by Paul. Despite its brevity, **Philemon** holds powerful lessons on reconciliation, a theme that is central to Christian life and community. ## The Context of Philemon **Philemon** is the shortest letter written by Paul, nestled in the New Testament just before **Hebrews**. This personal letter was penned by Paul while he was imprisoned, addressing Philemon, a fellow believer and leader of a house church. The letter deals with a sensitive matter: Onesimus, a slave who had wronged Philemon, had encountered Paul, become a Christian, and was now being sent back to Philemon not as a slave but as a brother in Christ. ## Key Themes in Philemon ### 1. **Reconciliation Requires Honesty** Reconciliation begins with a truthful acknowledgment of past wrongs. Paul does not gloss over Onesimus's actions; instead, he confronts the reality of the situation, suggesting that any debt or wrongdoing be charged to him. This transparency sets the stage for genuine reconciliation. ### 2. **Trust in God's Sovereignty** Paul's letter suggests that God can bring good from even the most challenging situations. He urges Philemon to see Onesimus's departure and return as part of God's divine plan, echoing the sentiment found in **Romans 8:28**: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." This trust in God's overarching plan is crucial in the journey towards reconciliation. ### 3. **The Freedom of Choice** While Paul encourages Philemon to reconcile with Onesimus, he emphasizes that this must be a voluntary act. True reconciliation cannot be coerced; it must come from a willing heart. Paul's approach highlights the importance of free will in the process of healing and restoration. ### 4. **The Ministry of Reconciliation** Reconciliation is not just a personal matter but a ministry entrusted to the Church, as outlined in **2 Corinthians 5:17-19**. Believers are called to be ambassadors of reconciliation, reflecting the peace and unity that Christ brings. ## The Role of Rest and Refreshment Reconciliation leads to rest and refreshment, concepts Paul associates with Philemon's character. In **Matthew 11:28**, Jesus invites those who are weary to find rest in Him, a rest that can also be found in reconciled relationships. By reconciling with Onesimus, Philemon could restore peace and refreshment to his community. ## Conclusion: A Call to Action The story of Philemon and Onesimus challenges believers to pursue reconciliation actively. Whether it involves facilitating reconciliation like Paul or seeking it for oneself, the call is clear: reconciliation is at the heart of the Gospel. This sacred task not only restores relationships but also provides a powerful witness to the transformative power of Christ. As we reflect on this message, let us consider our own lives and relationships. Are there places where reconciliation is needed? Let us trust in God's plan, embrace the freedom to choose forgiveness, and seek to be agents of peace in our communities, embodying the Gospel's message of unity and love.

We and our guest Official Series' Letterer Sabrina Heep discuss Shonen Jump manga The Comiq from the creator of Yu-Gi-Oh!   MAL Description: Starring "an unlikely love for two," Pendulum of Love is the latest series to be serialized in the popular magazine Shoujo Jump. This serialization is also the debut of Ryota Sakamaki. Through his editor, the shy rookie manga artist receives some help in the form of complex background artwork from a mysterious person. Though the pair frequently work with one another, Ryota has never once met his assistant, leading to his curiosity about the person's identity.   Upon further investigation, Ryota learns that his background illustrator is Katsuo Baba, a prisoner convicted of the infamous "Halloween Murder"—a crime committed within the local park three years ago that his own work seems to reference. While hesitant to work with a criminal at first, Ryota quickly picks up on Katsuo's desperation, and after meeting him face-to-face, Ryota becomes determined to set him free with the power of their manga!   Show Notes: • You can reach us at Twitter @shonenflopcast, Tumblr shonen-flop, or email shonenflop@gmail.com   • You can find our guest's latest work officially lettering Otr of the Flame   • Become a member of our community by joining our Discord.

AI is here to stay, and it's already reshaping the way we work and lead.

In this message from our “In Context” series, we explore Philippians 4:4-8 and discover Paul's practical roadmap for maintaining joy, peace, and reasonableness—even in the midst of chaos and opposition. Writing from prison to a persecuted church, Paul commands them to rejoice, be gentle toward others, and refuse anxiety by bringing everything to God with thanksgiving. The result? A supernatural peace that guards our hearts and minds. But Paul doesn't stop there—he calls us to carefully curate what we think about, focusing on what is true, honorable, pure, and praiseworthy. In a world dominated by outrage, doom-scrolling, and divisive social media, this ancient wisdom offers a lifeline for believers struggling with anxiety, anger, and hopelessness. Learn how to apply this powerful passage to your thought life, your online habits, and your daily walk with God.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 10/04/25. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS In the US, chaos and anxiety continue with another so-called government shutdown. President Donald J. Trump threatens additional cuts to federal employment, while furloughed and locked out employees ponder when and if they will be compensated. The National Guard will not be shutdown, and hundreds of troops are being parceled to Memphis, Tennessee to quell criminal unrest. Meanwhile in Vallejo, California a 28-year-old black female “was hidden inside a secret wall inside a detached unit at a Vallejo home,” according to FOX2 news. A 41-year-old White Man was arrested for Renia Lewis's death after her family used Life360 to locate her mobile phone. Lewis's murder has many tragic similarities to the 2024 murder and dismemberment of Sade C. Robinson. We're two days from the born date of the late Neely Fuller Jr., who was born into the System of White Supremacy on October 6th, 1929. Gus found it noteworthy that George Stinney, who was sentenced to death in a South Carolina electric chair at the age of 14, was born about 2 weeks apart from Neely Fuller Jr. on October 21stt. #EndStageWhiteSupremacy #INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: http://cash.app/$TheCOWS Call: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#
