The midweek special comes from the Moriel Canada Conference of 2017 (Session 8). This special will run for 9 weeks ending with the Q&A session that finalized the conference. 

“Bitcoin is a cheat code.” In this episode of Bitcoin Backstage, Mark Moss explains why a single asset can outperform everything else — and how corporate treasuries, institutional adoption, and America's deliberate dollar devaluation are setting the stage for Bitcoin's biggest bull run yet.Mark breaks down the rise of the “new Bitcoin class” on Wall Street, why companies like MicroStrategy are reshaping corporate balance sheets, and how the U.S. dollar reset mirrors historic currency accords. He also shares his 2030–2040 Bitcoin price targets, predicts when Bitcoin will become the global unit of account, and explores the game-changing role AI will play in the Bitcoin economy.Connect with Mark Moss on X: https://x.com/1MarkMossConnect with Isabella Santos on X: https://x.com/isabellasg3

In this episode of Point of Convergence, Darren/Exo asks: why does this gnostic notion of our waking experience not being ultimately real prove so enduring? Why does some version of this perspective show up over and over again within human experience; evident in everything from Vedanta to Buddhism to Jungian depth psychology? Perhaps even more compellingly—at least to modern ears—why are elements of this perspective evident in our most cutting-edge physics, astronomy and neuroscience? More to the point, if this is indeed a truer apprehension of ultimate reality, then what are the implications, and how now shall we live?

In this week’s digital Bible Study, Rev. Trudy and Rev. Brittany continue to explore the costs and risks of following Jesus, this time by examining Luke 17:11-19, the story of Jesus venturing into the borderlands to touch (and heal) unwell people. Their in-depth and insightful conversation uncovers the risks we must all take to travel to, see, interact with, and touch those on the margins to help them access what they need to live a full and healthy life. As well as the risks we must take in order to be touched by others to change our lives for the better. The two female pastors of First UMC of San Diego have a lot to say, breaking down: What is means to live in the borderlands The real risks that Jesus and those who had contracted leprosy were willing to take for the healing story Modern-day examples of outcasts and marginalized living in borderlands and constructing their own society Our modern misunderstanding of “healings” and unwillingness to do the hard work to be part of the healing And that’s just the beginning of the wisdom that’s available to unpack! 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: When do you feel like you’re in the borderland? In what ways do you get in the way of your own healing? Do you say thank you enough? Our Patreon community is open to all – no matter where you align in your spiritual beliefs.

What happens when you combine a decade of science, a powerful entrepreneurial story, and two exponential waves—AI and digital biology?You get Geneoscopy.On the latest episode of The Scope Forward Show, I caught up with Dr. Erica Barnell—Co-founder and Chief Science Officer of Geneoscopy. If you don't know Erica yet, you should. She and her team just raised $112 million in a tough VC environment. Their lead assay, ColoSense, is now the first FDA-approved, RNA-based, non-invasive diagnostic test for colorectal cancer and advanced adenomas.But this conversation went far beyond funding and FDA milestones.We talked about:How AI has replaced costly bioinformatics layers and transformed their R&DHow patients are being guided through diagnostics via smart automation (text, email, even Uber Health)What's next in IBD precision diagnostics and biomarker innovationWhy AI is not “artificial” at all—and how to use it without fearWhy GI, like OB/GYN, is primed for disruptionThis wasn't just a company update—it was a glimpse into the future of our entire field.We're in a convergence era. Biology is becoming programmable. Intelligence is being digitized. And GI—if we lean in—has a front-row seat to reinvent itself.

Lou Borrelli on Empowering 650+ Members Through Shared Innovation and the AI Center of Excellence “Connectivity is king. Without connectivity, you don't really have a business.” — Lou Borrelli, CEO, National Content & Technology Cooperative (NCTC) In this in-depth conversation with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, Lou Borrelli, CEO of the National Content & Technology Cooperative (NCTC), shares the evolution of an organization born from a Kansas City poker game into a powerful force connecting over 650 members across all 50 states and U.S. territories—and over 40 million broadband users. What began 41 years ago as a content-buying co-op for small and medium-sized cable operators has transformed into a modern technology and content hub, offering members buying power not just for programming, but also for hardware, software, broadband, mobile services, and now AI-driven solutions. At the heart of the conversation is NCTC's latest initiative: the AI Center of Excellence (AICOE). This strategic program is currently in its second phase, piloting AI applications for network monitoring, customer service, and predictive maintenance—all designed to help smaller operators stay competitive with national giants like Comcast and Charter. Borrelli emphasizes real convergence—not just of telecom technologies, but of content, connectivity, mobility, and AI. With the explosion of digital tools, even the smallest provider can now offer scalable, competitive services thanks to shared innovation and cooperative economics. From rural Kentucky to the suburbs of Boston, NCTC members benefit from centralized procurement, support, and emerging service models. The conversation also previews The Independent Show, NCTC's signature annual event, which brings together technologists and content creators. Borrelli calls it “the last great cable convention,” providing a unique venue for collaboration amid an increasingly fragmented media landscape. On the topic of content delivery, Borrelli is blunt: “Discovery is broken.” He points to the decline of unified cable guides and the rise of app-based content chaos. Consumers are subscribing, unsubscribing, and re-bundling content in real time—often recreating cable-like bills through a mix of streaming services. NCTC is exploring ways to aggregate and simplify the content experience while delivering sustainable value to customers and members. He also critiques the state of U.S. regulatory policy, calling for an overhaul of retransmission consent rules and emphasizing that consumers haven't truly “cut the cord”—they've unbundled it. For service providers, MSPs, or content vendors wondering if they have a place in the NCTC ecosystem, Borrelli extends a clear invitation: “If you have products or services that help our members succeed, we're open for business.” Learn more about NCTC and how your technology or content can help shape the next phase of convergence: https://www.nctconline.org.

Le numéro d'été (juillet-août 2025) de la revue Esprit nous propose une plongée dans les ressorts idéologiques des mouvements autoritaires et d'extrême droite. Coordonné par Marc-Olivier Padis et Anne Dujin, la rédactrice en chef de la revue (notre invitée), le dossier intitulé «La convergence des haines» met en lumière une dynamique inquiétante : celle de la coalition des ressentiments. Anne Dujin et Marc-Olivier Padis en parlent au micro de Pierre-Edouard Deldique. ⇒ Revue Esprit : La convergence des haines. Ce dossier complet se fonde sur les travaux de Daniel Lindenberg (Le Rappel à l'ordre, enquête sur les nouveaux réactionnaires, 2002), les auteurs montrent que les discours réactionnaires ne reposent pas sur une cohérence intellectuelle, mais sur une capacité à agréger des colères disparates. Qu'il s'agisse de rejet de l'autre, de nostalgie identitaire ou de frustration sociale, ces haines convergent dans un projet politique qui séduit par sa simplicité et sa radicalité. Le dossier analyse le rôle de plusieurs penseurs et écrivains dans cette recomposition idéologique : Michel Onfray, présenté comme un vecteur de confusionnisme, mêle références de gauche et rhétorique conservatrice Michel Houellebecq, quant à lui, incarne une posture post-politique, où le désenchantement devient esthétique Charles Maurras, figure historique de la droite nationaliste, revient en force dans certains cercles intellectuels. Face à cette montée des discours illibéraux, les auteurs appellent à une réaction politique forte. Il ne suffit plus de dénoncer : il faut reconstruire un projet démocratique et émancipateur, capable de répondre aux peurs sans céder à la tentation autoritaire. La gauche en sera-t-elle capable ? Ce numéro du magazine Esprit dont la devise est « comprendre le monde qui vient » ne se contente pas d'un constat. Il propose une cartographie des pensées réactionnaires. Il invite à repenser les conditions d'un débat public éclairé. Dans un contexte où les passions l'emportent souvent sur la raison, cette enquête est une contribution précieuse à la défense de l'esprit critique. À écouter absolument.  Site de la revue Esprit.   Programmation musicale : Cinquième Saison - Cinquième Saison.

Every year we devote an entire Sunday to celebrate what God has done. This is a powerful time of testimonies, prayer, and celebration!

This time on Perspectives FUMCSD Pastors podcast, Rev. Brittany and Rev. Hannah continue the conversation about “The Christ-Like Journey” by discussing how Jesus relied upon strangers, and so should we. It’s a concept that many of us dismiss but through the Gospel of Luke, the two female pastors demonstrate how we must rely upon strangers (who often become our friends!) as we journey through life. The digital Bible study starts with the reading of Luke 10:38-42, the account of Jesus accepting hospitality from Mary and Martha for the first time. It’s a well-known story (though we often get it confused with the account from the Gospel of John!). Rev. Brittany and Rev. Hannah take the opportunity to pack quite a few theories around the need for hospitality from strangers, including: The theme of the traveler being a common theme throughout the Gospel of Luke. How it’s easier to give hospitality than it is to receive it. To fully experience the Christian faith, we can’t just give, we also must receive. The various boundaries we seen crossed through this Gospel story and how being radically hospitable sometimes require us to cross social boundaries. The importance of attitude when it comes to hospitality and faith journeys. And that’s just the beginning of the wisdom that’s available to unpack! 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: How comfortable are you with meeting strangers? Who are you hesitant to offer hospitality to and why? What keeps you worried and distracted from receiving hospitality? Have you ever felt resentful in offering hospitality? Our Patreon community is open to all – no matter where you align in your spiritual beliefs. It’s free to join and connect over the weekly episode questions. There are also two additional membership levels that allow you to unlock additional content. Check it out at https://www.patreon.com/fumcsd!

It’s a concept that many of us dismiss but through the Gospel of Luke, the two female pastors demonstrate how we must rely upon strangers (who often become our friends!) as we journey through life. The digital Bible study starts with the reading of Luke 10:38-42, the account of Jesus accepting hospitality from Mary and Martha for the first time. It’s a well-known story (though we often get it confused with the account from the Gospel of John!). Rev. Brittany and Rev. Hannah take the opportunity to pack quite a few theories around the need for hospitality from strangers, including: The theme of the traveler being a common theme throughout the Gospel of Luke. How it’s easier to give hospitality than it is to receive it. To fully experience the Christian faith, we can’t just give, we also must receive. The various boundaries we seen crossed through this Gospel story and how being radically hospitable sometimes require us to cross social boundaries. The importance of attitude when it comes to hospitality and faith journeys. And that’s just the beginning of the wisdom that’s available to unpack! 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: How comfortable are you with meeting strangers? Who are you hesitant to offer hospitality to and why? What keeps you worried and distracted from receiving hospitality? Have you ever felt resentful in offering hospitality?

Le numéro d'été (juillet-août 2025) de la revue Esprit nous propose une plongée dans les ressorts idéologiques des mouvements autoritaires et d'extrême droite. Coordonné par Marc-Olivier Padis et Anne Dujin, la rédactrice en chef de la revue (notre invitée), le dossier intitulé «La convergence des haines» met en lumière une dynamique inquiétante : celle de la coalition des ressentiments. Anne Dujin et Marc-Olivier Padis en parlent au micro de Pierre-Edouard Deldique. ⇒ Revue Esprit : La convergence des haines. Ce dossier complet se fonde sur les travaux de Daniel Lindenberg (Le Rappel à l'ordre, enquête sur les nouveaux réactionnaires, 2002), les auteurs montrent que les discours réactionnaires ne reposent pas sur une cohérence intellectuelle, mais sur une capacité à agréger des colères disparates. Qu'il s'agisse de rejet de l'autre, de nostalgie identitaire ou de frustration sociale, ces haines convergent dans un projet politique qui séduit par sa simplicité et sa radicalité. Le dossier analyse le rôle de plusieurs penseurs et écrivains dans cette recomposition idéologique : Michel Onfray, présenté comme un vecteur de confusionnisme, mêle références de gauche et rhétorique conservatrice Michel Houellebecq, quant à lui, incarne une posture post-politique, où le désenchantement devient esthétique Charles Maurras, figure historique de la droite nationaliste, revient en force dans certains cercles intellectuels. Face à cette montée des discours illibéraux, les auteurs appellent à une réaction politique forte. Il ne suffit plus de dénoncer : il faut reconstruire un projet démocratique et émancipateur, capable de répondre aux peurs sans céder à la tentation autoritaire. La gauche en sera-t-elle capable ? Ce numéro du magazine Esprit dont la devise est « comprendre le monde qui vient » ne se contente pas d'un constat. Il propose une cartographie des pensées réactionnaires. Il invite à repenser les conditions d'un débat public éclairé. Dans un contexte où les passions l'emportent souvent sur la raison, cette enquête est une contribution précieuse à la défense de l'esprit critique. À écouter absolument.  Site de la revue Esprit.   Programmation musicale : Cinquième Saison - Cinquième Saison.

Two Rivers 'Convergence' Sauvignon Blanc 2025, Marlborough RRP from $22.00 Pungent, ripe, varietal and high energy. Aromas of red bellpepper and apple, fresh citrus peel and white peach, there's also green mango and cape gooseberry as well as fresh basil. On the palate – youthful, equally high energy with laser-like acidity, flavours of fresh fruits led by citrus, then tropical and white stone fruit. A high energy wine best enjoyed from day of purchase through 2029. Exceptional value. Food match: One of the many classic matches with sauvignon blanc is Oysters. Not everyone can do oysters, so steamed mussels work just as well. These first two are match of contrast – salty food needs a high acid wine. Another rule with food is that a richly textured food can have a higher acid wine for contrast; a dessert with cream or ice-cream should have a high acid wine like a sweet sauvignon blanc for contrast, as well as weight from the sugar in the wine. The match options with sauvignon blanc are endless. The season: A gift to the NZ wine sector with near perfect growing conditions. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Few topics get as much heat as the current, future, and ideal relationship between OT and IT. One of the first posts someone just discovering OT makes is how OT is different than IT. As you dig deeper into OT you find an increasing case of the technology, processes, and even the people being similar to IT. In this 90 minute long conversation format, we will try to bring some enlightenment to this question with a specially curated group of 9 S4x25 attendees.   About The Long Conversation Format  Two people begin the discussion on stage. After 10 minutes a third person will tap one of the participants on the shoulder and replace them in the conversation. This continues for the 90 minutes. Participants are on stage for 20 minutes talking to two different people for 10 minutes each.

DSPs are building tools to bypass SSPs, and SSPs are trying to cut out the buy side. But the real question in the noise is whether the technology improves effectiveness, says Kara Puccinelli, chief customer officer at Nexxen, which just so happens to describe itself as an end-to-end platform.

If you've ever wondered how to make test-driven development more than a coding technique, this episode is for you. Ashok Sivanand and producer Doug Branson answer listener and Reddit-sourced questions about building better product teams—covering everything from mindset shifts to hard truths about performance reviews and strategic alignment. Ashok connects TDD to the principles of Essentialism by Greg McKeown, revealing how teams can define success before they begin and cut through the noise of Slack and OKRs. Hear practical advice for first-time founders struggling to articulate value without a 20-minute demo, plus techniques to scale beyond early adopter customers using real-world interviews and Jobs to Be Done. Later, they explore how to recover from a tough performance review, especially in remote roles, and why communication—not effort—is often the missing ingredient. The episode wraps with a conversation about the dangers of leadership ambiguity when a company isn't sure whether it's selling a service or a product.

The female pastors of First United Methodist Church of San Diego continue the conversation about the radical cost of Christian discipleship – this time by looking at how Jesus calls people to leave behind their families, livelihood, and comforts to follow him. It’s a conversation inspired by Luke 9:56-62. Rev. Hannah and Rev. Brittany break down the scripture verse by verse with this digital Bible study with goal of better understanding what Jesus risked when he left the comforts of his family home. Some of the radical demands of discipleship that they observe include: Deprioritizing your own creature comforts and your familial and cultural obligations. Letting go of social, family, and religious traditions of the past to look toward a new future and way of life. Stopping the seeking and following of safe, predictable paths and instead living in the moment. Looking for the messiest places on Earth, disrupting with transformative love, and letting go of prosperity theologies. There is a lot more to say about leaving home and comforts to embark into the unknown. 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: How do our homes (spiritual or physical) create safe spaces for us thrive and/or comforts that hold us back? How has Christ’s radical demand of discipleship changed your life? As a disciple of Jesus Christ, are you prepared to face rejection and/or persecution?

BEST OF TST: Many things come in threes, from the concept of body-mind-spirit to birth-life-death, and thus the various trinities found around the world from the dominant Christian conception to the Indian Trimurti. There is a universality to this truth, which can be found in everything from mass shootings to plane crashes. The spiritual side of these things is the human side, too, because when horrible things happen we see ourselves and loved ones in the dead; we pray, donate, hold candles, and think about life and death. The long-standing conspiratorial element to this fact has also just been reinforced by former FBI agent Jonathan Gilliam, who was on Fox News over the weekend to say that the recent plane-helicopter crashes “will often happen in threes or more,” and so we should expect to possibly see another one in the coming weeks. This belief that things happen in threes is rooted in psychological patterns, pop culture, and cultural superstitions, where people perceive a connection between events due to our tendency to recognize these patterns. This idea is reinforced by the significance of the number three in various aspects of life, such as religion and folklore, which adds to its mystery. Despite plane crashes becoming less common, the more attention we place on them the more even minor incidents, like a small plane in Palo Alto running off the runway over the weekend, become proof of the triplicity mystique. If another larger incident occurs, the Palo Alto story may be forgotten. The pattern in societal and psychological terms comes in threes before the cycle restarts: shock, curiosity, and digging for answers that never come (outside personal bias) leads to disinterest from short attention spans so that we forget, or think we have all the answers, and so move on to the next shocking episode be it a storm, assassination, shooting, or plane crash. When analyzing these types of stories, context matters too, along with numbers and names which become like reading the green code of the Matrix. This was certainly the case with #286 and Luigi Mangione. The American Airlines flight 5342, which took off from Kansas's Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport for DC's Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport was carrying 64 people, while the UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter, from the 12th Air Battalion, that slammed into its side was carrying 3 - (67 overall = 13). ATC attempted to contact the helicopter prior to collision, but after a short response and silence, “13 seconds later” disaster struck. The runway cleared for landing was 33, which was shut down after. The plane type was a CRJ-700.The Learjet 55 that crashed in Philadelphia was carrying 6 crew and a child, for a total of 7 deaths, although other outlets have reported the child's mother died in the crash too. 19 others were injured. Others reported seven died in total, including a person on the ground. The FAA initially reported two people onboard, but corrected the report. The little girl had received medical care at a Shriners Hospital for Children 12 miles from the airport. The plane was headed to Tijuana, after a layover in Missouri at the Springfield-Branson National Airport. It seems slightly more than coincidence that the two major aviation incidents this past week have a connection to Super Bowl 59 next week. The Philadelphia Eagles will play the Kansas City Chiefs, who are actually located in Kansas City Missouri, a city split between two states. Some of the skaters onboard the AA flight were from Missoula, Montana. One of the major game storylines of the big game is that Patrick Mahomes has passed Joe Montana for second most playoff wins behind Tom Brady at 35 with his 7 Super Bowls. As already discussed on a previous show: “If we can pull a mythological narrative together… it could be between the Secret Chiefs, i.e., Deep State, and the symbolic bird of America, i.e., the eagle. The big game is being played at Caesars super dome, named after the entertainment casino company that uses a golden caesar for their logo. As this relates to politics we find Trump pushing the golden age of America narrative just weeks before the game, and we find the orange-yellow man fulfilling the promise of restoring order and even expanding America's territories, pricelessly what the first Augustus promised Rome. And funny enough, this Roman period was called Pax Romana, the golden age.” It is also odd that around Super Bowl time these types of aviation incidents, and some would argue sacrifices, are common in recent years. In January 2024, a Boeing 737-9 MAX made an emergency landing after the door plug blew out mid-flight, causing a cascade of criticism and public awareness. Just after the game there was a massacre at the winning celebration. As reported on a previous show: “NBC News reported at 9:44am Thursday 15th, 2024, 23 were injured and 2 were taken into custody = 25. At 10:17am Yahoo reported 22 injured and 3 taken into custody = 25. The numbers 25-22 was the final score of the game. The 3 arrested were out of a group of 10 questioned = 13, and 10-3 was the Halftime score of the Super Bowl.”During the week of the big game in 2023 a series of UFOs were tracked, shot down, and reported on in a national hysteria. Going back to 2020, January 26, the Sikorsky S-76B helicopter carrying Kobe Bryant and his 13-year old daughter crashed, killing 9 in total. It's odd enough Kobe was previously in a commercial for Nike where there was a helicopter crash via a bomb, or that Legends of Chamberlain Heights seemingly predicted the same incident just a few years before, but consider the following: the Sikorsky S-76B (SB 7+6=13) that killed Kobe was also meant to transport VIPs like himself, in likeness to the Black Hawk in Washington which was designed to carry VIPs. Both incidents occurred just prior to the Super Bowl. Sikorsky is also the same company that has MATRIX(tm) autonomy systems for Black Hawk helicopters, something DARPA was planning to test in 2025. In other words, remote controlled systems, which, coupled with the lack of response from the helicopter to ATC, formulates a conspiracy that either the technology failed or it has been used to create an incident and sacrifice the pilots in the process; the helicopter was officially on a “proficiency training flight.” Considering the recent drone hysteria, too, it is likely these objects were authorized by the FAA as an experiment to test AI-autonomy and situational awareness as part of a project called Convergence. On the other hand, viral conspiracy suggests there was no plane in Philadelphia because there was limited to no debris, essentially meaning it was a missile instead. The plane, however, was tipped at 45 degrees traveling at over 460mph and depending at 5-10 thousand feet per 60 seconds. For a small plane, with explosive medical equipment, it makes sense the entire thing was incinerated, or that the limited debris was exploded outward, not inward, far away from the crater. “I think the most important bit of evidence that we've seen so far is the doorbell video showing the aircraft descending at an incredible angle,” Arthur Wolk, an aviation expert, told NBC10. “Almost 45 degrees, which means that the airplane was out of control. No pilot would voluntarily descend any airplane at that angle. That probably resulted in the airplane striking the ground at over 400 knots and probably 5 or even 10,000 feet a minute going down that fast. So, something overtook this flight crew.”*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

On this week’s podcast, the female pastors of First United Methodist Church of San Diego kick off a new multi-episode conversation series that looks at the cost of discipleship for us today by investigating everything Jesus gave up doing the work he did. During this first episode, Rev. Trudy and Rev. Brittany talk about family and how Jesus risked losing his by expanding and redefining who we call mother, father, brother and sister. It’s inspired by Jesus’ words in Matthew 12:46-50. At first look, the scripture is one that may be confusion. But once you drill deeper, you can uncover truths that still ring true today, as discussed in this digital Bible Study: The broadening definition of family to better honor the Imago Dei, find the care and support you need, and see God’s spirit moving through others. How it feels to be dismissed by our family members or to be tied up in the tension and struggle that exists in many families. The need to identify and change harmful traditions and practices that pass down through generations so we can redefine how to be in relationship with each other and correct the wrongs of our family’s past. The need to create space for friends, family, and community to confront beliefs and practices and give permission to do things differently. It’s an interesting conversation that examines a wide range of topics. 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: Is this story about Jesus’ family in particular? Why and/or why not? What do you think is Jesus’ criticism of family? How has your family helped and/or hindered you in your ability to live out the will of God?

Show notes provided by Jack AdrienLet's be honest, DC Comics' frequent universal reboots or recons have kind of become a long running joke at this point. Through the Crisis on Infinite Earths (1985), Zero Hour: Crisis in Time (1994), Infinite Crisis(2005), Flashpoint (2011), Convergence (2015), DC Universe: Rebirth (2016), and DC Comics: Death Metal(2020), one DC character has weathered, even prospered, during the occasional multiversal frolic or timeline revision. Surprisingly, that character is not one of the iconic DC Trinity characters (i.e., Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman). No, Hawkman, throughout his long history and many iterations, truly epitomizes how good writers and editors can reimagine or reinvent a familiar, but B-list character, no matter what shape the comic universe takes.Join the Mint Condition crew of James, Joe, Keith, and Jack as we untangle the history, mystery, and significance of Hawkman (aka Carter Hall, Hawk, Khufu, Savage Hawkman, Katar Hol, Fel Andar, Hawk Avatar).

Episode 565 - Lee Clark - Matthew Paine Mystery Series - Including the upcoming book Killer ConvergenceLee Clark is the author of the Matthew Paine Mystery series of classic murder mystery novels, including Dead Spots, Prefer Death, MIA, Christmas Punch, Iced, Forbidden Relics, and the upcoming Killer Convergence to be released in the spring of 2025. According to multiple reviews across the book series on goodreads and Amazon, Clark "writes like Agatha Christie," and is reminiscent of Margaret Maron and Louise Penny. A North Carolina native, Clark grew up in Raleigh with family roots in Virginia. An admitted chocoholic and coffeeholic, Lee Clark still resides in North Carolina with spouse, two mostly grown children who are in and out, and a dwindling petting zoo of geriatric dogs and cats.  Lee Clark attended Campbell University, obtained a degree in Journalism from East Carolina University, and then a Master's in Technical Communication from North Carolina State University. Following a twenty year career in the software development industry of corporate America at IBM, Clark turned to writing fiction in 2021 with the release of Dead Spots, the first in the Matthew Paine Mystery series. The Matthew Paine character is a beloved character to the author. Though a fictional character, Matthew was inspired by two very important men in the author's life, brother Sean and son Will. Both will catch glimpses of themselves in the character and identify with some of Matthew's struggles.  https://cypressrivermedia.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Recorded in June 2025, during the 6th month of the Trump administration, while American bombs rained down on Iran, Addie and Dion read war poems. They read "We Lived Happily During the War," by Ilya Kaminsky," Convergence," by Joseph Stroud, "The People of the Other Village," by Thomas Lux, "Anywhere you Look," Jane Hirshfield, Samuel Hazo's "Intifada," and Khải Đơn's "Daughter of Many Wars."

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

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?
