Podcasts about Convenience

Have you noticed how almost everything in life is designed to be instant...meals delivered in minutes, answers at the click of a button, directions mapped out turn by turn?In this episode of Sarah's Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg explores what we gain from convenience, but also what we lose when life becomes too easy.You'll learn:*Why the small struggles of the past waiting, learning, trying again shaped us in quiet but meaningful ways.*How convenience can strip away patience, presence, and a sense of accomplishment.*Simple ways to bring back effort, slowness, and intention into your everyday life.It's time we remember that while speed makes life smoother, effort makes it meaningful and that some of the richest moments come from taking the long way.Purchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.To purchase Living A Life of Greatness outside Australia here or here.Watch A Life of Greatness Episodes On Youtube here.Sign up for Sarah's newsletter (Greatness Guide) here.Purchase Sarah's Meditations here.Instagram: @sarahgrynbergWebsite: https://sarahgrynberg.com/Facebook: facebook.com/sarahgrynbergTwitter: twitter.com/sarahgrynberg Hosted on Acast.

Episode 218: Hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada dig into a question that touches nearly every part of modern existence: What happens when a culture built on making life easier begins to lose the very relationships that make life meaningful? From dishwashers to digital assistants, the 20th and 21st centuries have delivered one innovation after another designed to save time, reduce effort and simplify daily routines. But as Rada and Kyte note, every bit of friction we remove from life comes with a hidden cost. When we no longer share chores, wait in lines or depend on others for small acts of help, we also weaken the bonds that once held neighbors, co-workers and families together. Kyte points out that humans have reached an unprecedented moment in history: For the first time, many of us are asking whether we have too much convenience. What began with washing machines and supermarkets has evolved into an on-demand economy that prizes speed above all else. And while few people would want to return to hauling water or scrubbing laundry by hand, the hosts argue that our obsession with efficiency may be quietly reshaping our moral landscape. Their conversation ranges from the decline of repair culture to the rise of social media and hyperindividualism, connecting the dots between broken appliances, eroded patience and fractured civic trust. The episode also revisits the promise and peril of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, questioning whether they will truly grant us more leisure or instead fuel new forms of productivity.

Welcome to Here's the Caveat! — the podcast where fluff takes a back seat and real leadership steps up.You can't build consistency on convenience.Everyone wants success… until it gets uncomfortable. We love the idea of discipline until the alarm goes off at 5 a.m. We want results, but we also want our comfort.And here's the Caveat, you can't have both. Convenience might make you comfortable, but consistency makes you credible. One builds comfort. The other builds character.Only one creates leaders who last.Today, we're going to talk about what happens when convenience becomes your compass and how to get back to building the muscle that matters most: discipline. Great leaders aren't born consistent. They become consistent when they stop making excuses.Let's get started.

Hi. Today we're looking at modern conveniences that have a higher cost than we'd like to admit. Amazon, Netflix, Airbnb, Doordash – all require exploiting labor, screwing over customers, and making parts of our society just a little bit worse.

Domino's Pizza (DPZ) is betting big on a rebranding effort that ditches "pizza" from its name, but don't think for a second it's abandoning its roots. RJ Hottovy breaks down what this move says about the company's strategy to compete in a hyper-competitive QSR space. With consumers increasingly looking for value and convenience, Hottovy explains how Domino's is trying to attract a wider audience and prevent "veto votes" at the dinner table.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Hour 3 of the Bob Rose Show on travel convenience stores as new consumer ratings reveal the expanding big retailers' impact on the interstates. Plus local referendum dates, the second amendment's impact on state politics, a competing halftime show, and Friday morning's breaking news for 10-10-25

Ep 231 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara dig into generational food debates, Boston's rodeo revival, and Texas' fight against an invasive pest — with plenty of banter along the way. First up: A viral reel sparks debate about seed oils and generational food culture. An "almond daughter" confronts her "seed oil grandmother" about pantry staples, but the comment section isn't having it. Natalie and Tara explore how different generations relate to food, why we're so divided on nutrition, and whether we've optimized ourselves into confusion. Then, the rodeo returns to Boston for the first time in nearly 100 years — complete with skyscrapers, city hall plaza, and plenty of PETA protesters. The hosts discuss the logistics of transforming downtown into a rodeo arena, why animal activists are so vocal about rodeos, and whether this cultural moment will stick around. Next, Bose drops a butter-yellow Bluetooth speaker packaged like a stick of butter, and the marketing genius (or missed opportunity) has everyone talking. Plus, a quick debrief on Steven McBee heading to BravoCon and what that means for ag's crossover into mainstream entertainment. Finally, Texas agriculture faces a new threat: the cotton jassid, an invasive leaf hopper spreading fast from Florida to the cotton belt. Tara talks to a local cotton farmer about what this pest could mean for the multi-billion dollar industry — and why Georgia growers are already devastated. BUT WAIT — there's more! Stick around for a bonus mini-interview with Jeff Risley, Executive Director of the Renewable Energy Farmers of America (REFA). If you've ever considered solar, wind, or any renewable project on your farm, this conversation is a must-listen. Jeff breaks down peer-to-peer resources, lease negotiations, succession planning, and how REFA helps farmers make informed decisions about long-term energy opportunities.

It's not getting harder—it's getting higher. The climb only feels steep because you're leveling up. Show Notes: In this powerful episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee explores the illusion of difficulty and the hidden danger of ease. What feels “uphill” in life often isn't—it's perspective. Baylor breaks down how your mindset determines whether you see challenges as obstacles or opportunities for preparation and growth. He shares lessons from running, triathlon training, and life itself: why skipping steps only sabotages your future, why convenience is the enemy of greatness, and how choosing the hard road prepares you to thrive when others get exposed under pressure. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why every “uphill battle” is mostly a matter of perspective How to reframe difficulty as a sign of progress The hidden cost of shortcuts and skipped steps Why “easy” is the most expensive word in success How to future-proof your performance through preparation Featured Quote: "Easy street is the surest path to mediocrity. Convenience kills."

If you care about civil liberties, privacy, or simply want to understand how “convenience” can become control, this episode unpacks the debate clearly and calmly — and points to practical next steps.In this episode, I sit down with Gareth Icke (Ickonic) about the rising push for digital ID, mass surveillance, PSYOPs and how fear is being used to rush through big changes. We dig into the timing, the legal routes governments might use, and practical ways you can resist while protecting your families and sanity.What we cover:Why digital ID keeps reappearing in public policy and how it could be pushed through emergency or incremental legislation. The playbook of fear: how terrorist incidents, war headlines or crises are used to fast-track surveillance measures.What “convenience” really costs: data harvesting, facial recognition, loyalty programs and the slow loss of privacy.Practical responses: petitions, community organising, digital hygiene and ways to protect your peace.How to stay informed without burnout — personal resilience & local community supportFollow Gareth & Ickonic: https://ickonic.com/@garethickeickonic@trendingonickonic  ⏰ In this episode: 00:00 Introduction: The State of the World00:26 Reflecting on Past Protests and Resilience01:52 Digital ID and Mass Surveillance03:39 Terror Attacks and Government Manipulation05:47 The Role of Media and Public Perception11:25 Mind Control and Social Media Influence18:19 Convenience vs. Freedom24:45 Political Manipulation and Reform27:06 Personal Health and Emotional Well-being28:17 Mental Barriers and Laughter Therapy29:02 Finding Joy in Simple Pleasures29:37 The Importance of Taking Time for Yourself31:26 Connecting with Local Communities31:45 The Role of Humour and Positivity34:01 Digital ID and Privacy Concerns41:00 The Convenience vs. Privacy Trade-off46:22 Standing Together Against Challenges46:49 Final Thoughts and Encouragement52:01 Outro and Sponsor Message

In this powerful episode of The Next Level Podcast, Michael McIntyre speaks directly to single men about the divine purpose of singleness — not as a waiting room, but as a training ground. With bold encouragement and biblical truth, he lays out three practical points to help men become the kind of leaders God can trust with His daughters. From building a solid spiritual and financial foundation to pursuing women with courage instead of convenience, Michael challenges listeners to rise above cultural confusion and step into covenant-minded leadership. Drawing from Proverbs 18:22 and his own marriage to Stacye, he reminds men that legacy begins with vision, commitment, and character — not perfection. The episode closes with a call to action for men to stop playing small, embrace maturity, and prepare for the upcoming launch of The Gentleman's Agreement, a new movement designed to help men lead with purpose and pursue their queens with honor.

If you want to get leaner and live longer, check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com/ I used to think my pro athlete status meant health, but I was wrong. Is your comfortable, convenient life actually making you weaker? I sat down with Michael Kummer, who shared his journey from professional athlete dealing with gut issues to becoming a health expert and supplement company founder. We explored the idea that comfort is killing us, arguing that we must deliberately expose ourselves to hermetic stressors like cold and exercise to build physical and mental resilience. I learned how stacking small wins reinforces a new, healthier identity. We also dove deep into his dietary philosophy—focusing on local, seasonal, animal-based foods—and his approach to raising resilient children in a modern, easy world. Key Takeaways ●     Comfort is detrimental because it removes the necessary hermetic stressors required for physical and mental strength. ●     If you don't stress your body, your structure gets weaker; if you don't challenge your brain, you lose neural connections. ●   Choosing to do something incredibly hard (like cold plunging) builds resilience, making non-chosen challenges significantly easier to handle. ●    The more hard stuff you do, the more it can provide a dopamine response, making you enjoy difficult activities. ●     Building positive momentum starts with small wins, such as making your bed first thing in the morning. ●     Every action you take reinforces the identity of the person you are becoming. ●     You will pay for cheap food one way or the other: either less upfront and more in medical bills later, or a little more upfront and no medical bills later. ●    Nutrition should prioritize animal-based products, supplemented seasonally and locally with plants, while mitigating anti-nutrients. ● Organ meats are excellent sources of micronutrients that are crucial for endurance, especially when the body is under stress.

Almost playing to a script, US President Donald Trump announced his 20-point resolution for Gaza in the presence of Benjamin Netanyahu and hinted that even the larger Palestinian question could be rolled into it. Within hours, never mind the time zones, Pakistan was the first Islamic country to rise in the fullest support.   Pakistan's has been a rentier army available to a generous bidder, Muslim or Christian. The ideological foundation of Pakistan is not Islam or Islamism. It is anti-Indianism. It will make any compromises, rent services to any patron, dump Iran yesterday and today and tomorrow, abandon Palestinians for eternity, and kill fellow Muslims as long as it brings it wherewithal to weaken and challenge India. — Watch this week's #NationalInterest with @ShekharGupta https://theprint.in/national-interest/pakistan-army-israel-palestine-two-state-solution/2756771/

In this episode I talk about what led me to take a long-admired guru off his pedestal and how that simple action bolstered my sense of self-worth. Fundamental to this is how AI can be a sparring partner that sparks curiosity, but when used lazily it becomes nothing more than serving up a microwave meal and calling yourself a chef.   We introverts may be tempted to lean on it when our batteries are drained, but that is where the danger of cognitive offloading creeps in. Stop using the muscle and it will wither. Convenience is silently reshaping our intellectual architecture, but we do not have to let it.   Guard your creativity like treasure, use AI mindfully if you must, but never trade away your original thinking.   ** Key Points ** Guard creativity fiercely Cognitive offloading may be dangerous Don't trade brilliance away   #AuthenticExpression #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   *** Resources *** Visit this link to access Brilliant Battery Boosters https://flourishingessentials.me/  Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for October 1st Publish Date:  October 1st Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, October 1st and Happy Birthday to I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal KSU biology student gets hands-on experience in Guatemala clinic Macabre Victorian Funeral Experience returns to Root House Museum Graduation rates increase across state, including Cobb, Marietta All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: INGLES 5 STORY 1: KSU biology student gets hands-on experience in Guatemala clinic  Like a lot of college students, Kennesaw State junior David Roque spent his summer in the tropics. But beaches and ziplining? Not exactly. Instead, he was back in his hometown of Poptun, Guatemala, working at his dad’s medical clinic—his second summer doing so. David wore a lot of hats: checking in patients, translating, assisting with surgeries. Poptun, tucked in Guatemala’s northern Peten region, is remote—thick forests, few medical facilities. Patients travel miles for care, and David’s bilingual skills made him indispensable. Between shifts, he even managed to take a cell biology course remotely. Medicine runs in his blood. His grandfather was a doctor in Cuba, his dad runs the clinic, his mom’s a nurse, and his sister’s about to graduate med school. At KSU, David’s passion for medicine expanded into research. Through the First-Year Scholars program, he joined a project on radiation therapy for cancer patients, earning two publications in his first year. David’s work has taken him to conferences at Georgia Tech, the State Capitol, and even Pennsylvania. He’s now drafting a proposal for his own cancer research project, blending his love for medicine and discovery. STORY 2: Macabre Victorian Funeral Experience returns to Root House Museum  This October, the William Root House takes a step back in time—into the somber world of a Victorian-era funeral. In 1856, Hannah and William Root shared their home with family, including Hannah’s father, Leonard Simpson, who passed away on Oct. 11 of that year. To honor his memory, the house is now staged as it would’ve been after his death: curtains drawn, black crepe draped over furniture, and mourning ribbons everywhere. Visitors can explore artifacts like 19th-century embalming tools, mourning jewelry made from human hair (yes, really), and other eerie relics of Victorian death customs. Daytime tours are included with regular admission. For those craving something darker, two after-hours events are on the calendar. Midnight Wake (Oct. 11, 11 p.m.–midnight): A candlelit VIP tour dives into embalming practices of the 1800s, ending with a haunting recital of a death poem written by Leonard Simpson himself. Tickets are $50, limited to 13 guests, and for ages 12+. Victorian Funeral Flashlight Tours (Oct. 25, 5–9 p.m.): Wander the house at your own pace, flashlight in hand, through dimly lit rooms. Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door. Details at RootHouseMuseum.com/Funeral. STORY 3: Graduation rates increase across state, including Cobb, Marietta  Graduation rates are climbing, and 2025 was a record-breaking year for Marietta, Cobb, and Georgia as a whole. Marietta High hit 92.2%, its highest since Georgia adopted the adjusted cohort method in 2011. Cobb County wasn’t far behind, with an 89.2% rate—its best ever. Statewide, Georgia’s seniors reached 87.2%, another all-time high. Cobb’s Superintendent Chris Ragsdale credited a decade of steady growth, with schools like South Cobb making huge leaps (up 9.5 points to 87.9%). Meanwhile, Marietta Superintendent Dr. Grant Rivera praised the “shared commitment” of teachers, families, and students. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: INGLES 5 STORY 4: UPDATE: Ted’s Montana Grill to fill 'Goldstein Gap' on Marietta Square  After years of sitting empty, the infamous “Goldstein Gap” on Marietta Square is finally getting a new tenant—a Ted’s Montana Grill. The Marietta Historic Board of Review gave the project a unanimous thumbs-up, approving plans for a single-story restaurant designed to blend seamlessly with the Square’s historic charm. The lot at 77 North Park Square, owned by former Councilman Philip Goldstein’s family, has been vacant since 2010, when the Cuthbertson building was demolished. Past proposals, including a brewery and a five-story building, fizzled out. The new 4,311-square-foot building will feature a brick façade, mahogany trim, and a design that mimics a two-story structure to match its neighbors. Ted’s Montana Grill, founded by Ted Turner, will bring its signature American and Western-style menu to the space—finally filling a long-standing gap in the Square’s landscape. STORY 5: Multiple businesses close after east Cobb shopping center fire A fire at the Village East Cobb shopping center has left nearly every business there shuttered, at least for now. Bookmiser, the beloved indie bookstore, is among the hardest hit. Co-owner Annell Gerson said the shop is closed “until further notice” after smoke and soot from Sunday’s early morning fire damaged much of their inventory. The fire started in the back room of Owl Repair, a phone repair shop next door, likely from a lithium-ion battery, though the cause is still under investigation. Firefighters contained the flames, but smoke spread through the building’s shared attic, leaving damage in every business. Chop Stix China Bistro owner Lyn Lin said they’ll be closed “at least a week” to deep clean and toss all food. Bookmiser is working to salvage what they can, but in the meantime, customers can shop online at bookmiser.net. Break: STORY 6: Kemp denies Cobb Election Board's request to amend special election date   Gov. Brian Kemp has denied a request from the Cobb Board of Elections to move the special election for former state Sen. Jason Esteves’ seat to Nov. 4, sticking with the original date of Nov. 18. Esteves, who resigned Sept. 10 to run for governor, left his District 35 seat—covering parts of Cobb and Fulton—vacant. The elections board argued Nov. 4, already a statewide Election Day, would save money and reduce voter confusion. But Kemp disagreed. “Convenience isn’t the priority,” Kemp wrote, emphasizing the need for voters and candidates to have more time. Local leaders, however, aren’t thrilled. Cobb Democratic Chair Essence Johnson called the decision “fiscally irresponsible,” while GOP Chair Mary Clarice Hathaway said it could lead to low turnout. Early voting starts Oct. 27, with registration closing Oct. 20. If a runoff is needed, it’ll happen Dec. 16—just in time for the holiday chaos. STORY 7: Autumn happenings Cobb County’s got fall covered—pumpkins, paint, parades, and just the right amount of spooky. Here’s a taste of what’s happening: Oct. 10, 6–7:30 p.m.: Paint Your Own Pumpkin Candy Dish at Sewell Mill Library. $28 gets you paint, glaze, and a kiln-fired masterpiece.

Are we ready to embrace the call to bold discipleship? This powerful message challenges us to examine our faith and commitment to Christ. Drawing from Matthew 28 and Acts 22, we're reminded of Jesus' command to make disciples and Paul's unwavering testimony in the face of persecution. The central theme revolves around the cost of discipleship - denying ourselves, taking up our cross daily, and following Jesus wholeheartedly. We're encouraged to cultivate a burning desire to share God's love, ignited through prayer, study, and worship. The message emphasizes that true discipleship isn't about a checklist, but about a passionate relationship with Jesus. As we reflect on Paul's boldness and the early Christians' response to persecution, we're invited to consider: How can we let our light shine brightly in our community? Are we willing to step out of our comfort zones and speak God's word with great boldness?
