Dan Berger led Social Tables through a $100M exit and now he's focused on something even harder to build: belonging. In this vulnerable conversation, he shares what most leaders miss about culture, how his board almost ousted him due to a toxic exec hire, and why belonging should be treated as a leadership choice — not an HR initiative. He also unpacks why rituals matter, why alcohol doesn't belong in team settings, and what founders can learn from AA meetings about structure, vulnerability, and connection. We also get into his latest venture, Assemble Hospitality Group, a new asset class of “micro resorts” designed for team offsites and retreats. Dan breaks down the mechanics of retreat design, conscious exclusivity, and how different team members — from introverts to eager belongers — need different paths to feel seen and connected. If your company is hybrid, remote, or just feeling disconnected, this episode offers sharp, practical insight to get back on track.

In this episode, we speak with Luca Paolini, Chief Strategist at Pictet Asset Management, about the firm's 2025 Secular Outlook and the unfolding shift in global markets. Paolini argues that the era of U.S. exceptionalism is fading—and investors may be mispricing what comes next. We discuss why the “Great Convergence” could redefine asset allocation, what it means for U.S. equities and the dollar, and why now might be the time to lean into bonds and income-generating assets.Paolini also shares his views on inflation, tariffs, AI, private markets, and the challenges of navigating a low-return, high-risk world. Whether you're a global macro watcher or a long-term investor thinking about regime shifts, this conversation offers a roadmap for the next five years.Topics covered include:Why the U.S. may no longer deserve its valuation premiumHow debt and protectionism threaten global growthWhy the next five years could see converging returns across regions and assetsThe investment case for bonds, credit, and emerging market debtAI's impact on productivity and equity concentrationThe future role of gold, crypto, and private assets in portfolios
Next in Media discusses the evolving role of influencers in marketing with Megan Pagliuca, Chief Product Officer at Omnicom Media Group, and Khurrum Malik, Head of Marketing for Walmart Connect, focusing on how data and new strategies are integrating influencers into broader media plans to drive sales and brand building.
In this episode of Point of Convergence, we explore how anomalous experiences—UFO/NHI encounters, synchronicities, altered states, psi phenomena, etc.—are playing a transformative, grassroots role in steering Western perspectives along more shamanic lines. Is this incidental, or by design?
In this episode of Perspectives Pastors Podcast, Rev. Brittany and Rev. Hannah talk about the power of faith to bridge the gap between suspicion and healthy relationship. The digital Bible Study is based on the wisdom literature attributed King Solomon: Ecclesiastes 4:7-12, which includes the popular phrase: “Two is better than one.” The dynamic conversation covers a variety of important themes, including: How being in conversation and community with those different than you can help ease suspicions and lead to life-giving bonds. The misinterpretation and misuse of scripture to prohibit and exclude groups of people (as people do when they apply a romantic theme to Ecclesiastes 4). The importance of living in community instead of isolation and the communal nature of joy. How our modern-day approach to work has diverted greatly from the biblical understanding of work (which called humans to build relationship first and foremost!). How true security comes through relationships, not wealth. The importance of community when it comes to justice work. You can keep the conversation going by joining our weekly in-person Convergence discussion group or heading over to our Patreon channel to discuss the following questions with others: In what ways can isolation breed suspicion, distrust, and fear toward others? Can you think of a time when relationship quieted suspicion? How might faith communities foster connection across differences?

AI can make therapy more accessible—but only if it's done right. In this episode, ex-Google and Amazon product leader Seth shares his journey from panic attacks to building Volo Health, an AI-powered tool for anxiety, depression, and addiction. He breaks down how most therapy tools get it wrong, what makes human-centered AI actually safe, and how product teams can reconnect with the humans they serve—even at scale. Seth opens up about leaving Silicon Valley, his personal journey with emotional healing, and the limits of traditional therapy. Along the way, we explore the ethics of AI in mental health, the value of 12-step recovery models, and the risks of over-validating users with AI.

Rev. Trudy and Rev. Brittany are back in the First United Methodist Church of San Diego video studio, this time discussing anxiety and how it can be lessened through “restorative faith.” The digital Bible study kicks off with the reading of Matthew 6:25-34 – the familiar passage that urges us to “stop worrying about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” With anxiety running high throughout today’s society, this scripture can bring comfort to those who find themselves anxious. But, as Rev. Trudy points out, there’s also potential for the scripture to be misused and misquoted, shaming people for their mental health struggles and making them question their level of faith because of the worries that still exist in their life. The two women dive deep in their discussion, talking about their own battles with anxiety, the illusion of control, materialism, consumerism, and questioning of scripture when taken at face value. You can keep the conversation going by joining our weekly in-person Convergence discussion group or heading over to our Patreon channel to discuss the following questions with others: What in your life is causing you anxiety in the moment? How does the surrounding culture create and exacerbate anxiety? What is the difference between our desire for the kingdom of God than our desire for clothing?

Karthik Suresh has seen the software industry from all sides — high-frequency trading, Meta's product teams, early-stage startup trenches, and now the frontier of AI agents. As co-founder of Double-O, he's building a platform that helps non-technical teams automate complex business processes using AI agents described in plain English. In this episode, Karthik shares hard-won lessons about what it really takes to make agentic workflows work in production — and why most companies are still getting it wrong. We talk about the structural failures hiding inside most AI proof-of-concepts, the overlooked importance of eval frameworks, and why enterprise leaders may be unintentionally blocking their own GenAI progress by clinging to control instead of creating trust.

We need God's wisdom to look for the best way to accomplish strategic planning that will enable us to make the best use of our time and resources to arrive at the best possible outcome. Convergence is a way to describe how God weaves our circumstances into the fabric of His divine plans. It is a symbol of unity, harmony, and interconnectedness with our Father in Heaven. We need His wisdom to accomplish things for His Kingdom, and as we continue to seek Him, He is converging us with His Kingdom, His army, His heart - and it is from this place that we will see His blessings flow. His strategy has been released, and we will experience convergence in new and astounding ways. Amen.

In today’s Perspectives Pastors Podcast, Rev. Trudy and Rev. Brittany kick off a new multi-episode discussion that looks closely at our faith, asking “what good is it?” – connecting truths and experiences from Biblical times to the high running emotions, anxiety, and suspicion that many are feeling today. Up first, the female pastors look at faith through the lens of fear by turning to Matthew 10:23-27, a passage where Jesus sends off his disciples to spread his teachings, warning them that they will be met with hostility and resistance but all they need to take with them is their faith in God. It’s a bold call that is hard for us to embrace and understand. But, as the reverends discuss, it’s necessary today if we are going to live out God’s command to carry out justice. Through their Bible study and discussion, they debate whether the disciples were more courageous than we are today, explain the concept of holy courage, address the fears that we face today, and ultimately ask: How do we act when life gets tough? You can keep the conversation going by joining our weekly in-person Convergence discussion group or heading over to our Patreon channel to discuss the following questions with others: Does fear motivate you to retreat or to take action? Does faith motivate you to overcome your fear? How and Why? Has following Jesus caused a sword to sever some relationships? What emotion is evoked when you hear “take up the cross”?

Some of the biggest product breakthroughs didn't come from startups — they came from intrapreneurs.

We're celebrating the 50th anniversary of Jaws by looking back at Spielberg's genre-defining original and its progressively wilder sequels. A quartet of films that not only redefined summer horror but also played a pivotal role in shaping contemporary fears of the ocean, the Jaws franchise embraced genre hybridity, influenced public perception of sharks, and contributed to the rise of the summer blockbuster. But are there other reasons that explain the original film's enduring cultural relevance? We're diving in today with spoilers, so stay tuned!ReferencesCaputi, Jane E. "Jaws as Patriarchal Myth."

Rev. Brittany and Rev. Hannah are back to take another look at the Holy Spirit, this time from the angle of “the Spirit of truth” as inspired by Jesus’ bold words in John 16:12-15. They’re words that are a gift to the disciples as he prepares to depart from his ministry on Earth. But, as the two female pastors point out, it’s not the warm and fuzzy gift that we would all like to receive. Through the digital Bible study, the reverends dive deep into meaning behind Jesus’ words, highlighting the relevant ancient Greek words and the timeline of the Gospel of John for additional context. They also discuss: Separation anxiety and how it can lead to decision paralysis Communal responsibilities of Christianity Our natural inclination of being creatures of habit and how that can interfere with our Christian calling Stepping out in faith to do the hard things How “too much to bear” isn’t the same as “too much to hear” and how that applies to answer the Spirit’s call You can keep the conversation going by joining our weekly in-person Convergence discussion group or heading over to our Patreon channel to discuss the following questions with others: What kinds of truths about ourselves, God, and the world do we typically find hard to bear? How do cultural, historical, emotional, and psychological factors affect our capacity to hear the truth? How should the church approach the challenge that people may not yet be ready to hear certain truths? Our Patreon community is open to all – no matter where you align in your spiritual beliefs.

This week, Da7e and Neil dig into the season two finale of The Last of Us and its risky choice for a season-ending cliffhanger. In The Calm [07:48], they discuss the positives and negatives of a seven-episode season, celebrate good outcomes for the show's animal characters, and explore how one pivotal scene from the game was adapted in a far more traumatic way than it played out in the video game. Then, in The Storm [01:11:46], they highlight all of the seeds this episode plants that will be very relevant early in season three. Then they make a few predictions for how a longer third season might be paced.
