Day 2 - Morning Meeting
Some of the biggest product breakthroughs didn't come from startups — they came from intrapreneurs. In this episode, we speak with Scott Jones, a career intrapreneur who has launched new lines of business at Lenovo, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Realeyes, a computer vision AI company serving some of the world's most influential platforms. Scott shares a detailed, experience-backed look at what it takes to make innovation work inside companies that weren't built for speed. He breaks down the mindset, team dynamics, and cultural rituals that allow new bets to thrive — and provides practical guidance for founders, executives, and investors looking to bring this approach into their own organizations.

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.

In this week’s digital Bible study, Rev. Hannah and Rev. Brittany of First UMC of San Diego do a deep dive into Pentecost and the Holy Spirit, inspired by Acts 2. While many Christians identify the Holy Spirit with fire, these two female pastors lean into the wind imagery of the passage, looking at what happens when the “Winds” speak. It’s a Perspectives Pastors Podcast conversation that goes both wide and deep, analyzing: Why we often question when new ways of life are introduced at church and other deeply established institutions. How the Holy Spirit can be seen as the great equalizer – falling upon all peoples and embolden them to do something new and different. Questioning why “-isms” such as ageism, ableism, racism, classism, and capitalism still exists if God’s love knows no bounds through the Holy Spirit. How we perceive sin as being personal immorality instead of misaligned relationships. There is so much to explore about Pentecost and the Holy Spirit! While this episode covers a lot – it really is just the beginning of the topic. 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 have you encountered the Holy Spirit in your life or community? Can you share an experience where being part of a group made you feel connected or inspired? How is community strengthened by diversity?

Joshua Graves, founder of Lost Horse Labs and author of We Need to Talk, joins the show to unpack what happens when product leaders ignore hard conversations — and what it takes to build an environment where teams can truly thrive. Drawing from two decades in product design, civic tech, and leadership coaching, Joshua brings practical, deeply human guidance on navigating organizational tension, protecting team trust, and avoiding the trap of control disguised as process. From the neuroscience of conflict to the value of rituals and the art of disagreeing and committing, Joshua's insights are rooted in experience — not just theory. Whether you're a CEO, product leader, or just someone who wants to get better at the conversations that matter, this episode offers useful ideas for designing more human teams and more honest leadership. Unlock the full potential of your product team with Integral's player coaches, experts in lean, human-centered design. Visit integral.io/convergence for a free Product Success Lab workshop to gain clarity and confidence in tackling any product design or engineering challenge. Inside the episode... Why conflict avoidance is costly — and how to know when it's time to speak up What it really means to create psychological safety (and how to ritualize it) Understanding the brain's role in conflict, emotion, and reactivity The “compass vs. map” approach to navigating difficult conversations How to mediate conflict as a leader without becoming a dictator Using tools like user manuals and plus-deltas to personalize collaboration Building rituals without becoming dogmatic or overly process-driven When to assume positive intent — and when that's no longer productive What to do when you're facing manipulation, gaslighting, or loss of trust Why checking in with yourself can be the most powerful leadership too Mentioned in this episode Joshua'/s book - We Need to Talk: A Survival Guide for Tough Conversations. http://amazon.com/We-Need-Talk-Survival-Conversations/dp/1959029118/ref=sr_1_5 Lost Horse Labs – losthorse.design, e-mail hello at losthorse.design Plus/Deltas as a feedback framework: https://blogs.vmware.com/tanzu/plus-delta-feedback/ Nonviolent communication: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolent_Communication Joshua's favourite maker tools - Glowforge - https://glowforge.com/ Joshua's favourite maker tools - XTool (screen printing tools) - https://www.xtool.com/ Joshua's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/itsjoshuagraves Subscribe to the Convergence podcast wherever you get podcasts including video episodes to get updated on the other crucial conversations that we'll post on YouTube at youtube.com/@convergencefmpodcast Learn something?

Since the dawn of what has come to be colloquially referred to as the modern UFO Phenomenon, two very divergent aspects have emerged to create a situation that appears—on the face of it—utterly irreconcilable. On the one hand, this phenomenon is supported by evidence gathered in what we call “the real world”, that is to say “physical reality”. This evidence includes radar returns, electromagnetic effects, soil traces, multiple, independent witness accounts, biological effects on witnesses, photographic and video evidence, and more.On the other hand, the testimony of those who have apparently interacted with this Phenomenon suggests an experience that defies our very understanding of what can be “real”. These elements include: precognition of future events, memories from lifetimes beyond this one—including as forms not exclusively human—the encountering of spaces that seem much larger from within than without, movement through the environment sometimes with the body, and sometimes without, etc. Another key component that arises not just in the Contact phenomenon, but also in near-death experiences, is the uncanny sense that what we call “the real world” is somehow less “real” than the modes of existence or states of being in which these so-called “non-ordinary” experiences occur. And let us be clear: if we are to take these accounts at face-value, it would appear that what we have long referred to as “the real world” is actually subsidiary to one or more subsuming realms, and that even what we refer to as “the self” is actually a truncated and fractional expression of a much more dynamic, multifaceted identity that exists outside of spacetime altogether.Speaking of space and time, also particularly pertinent here is the paradoxical and perplexing way that certain notions expressed in what are referred to as the archetypes, and in astrology, seem to comport—with a confounding degree of precision—with the unfolding of our actual experience of reality, giving rise to prickly questions about determinism and free will. Indeed, these apparently pre-existing patterns of manifestation—that point to an underlying symbolic geometry—call into question the very naturalistic assumptions that are at the core of physicalism, the present dominant paradigm widely ascribed to within Western civilization.All of this so-called “high strangeness” converges to point to a deeper truth that is truly astonishing: namely that the experiences of our lives are not arising either as real or symbolic (as in our long-standing distinction between the reality of waking vs. dream states), but rather as—simultaneously—both. And yes, not surprisingly, this has profound implications regarding the nature of the self, and the nature of existence. These are precisely the paradigm-shattering, mind-expanding matters that we'll seek to engage with in this, the 115th episode of the Point of Convergence podcast.
And here it is, folks, the last minisode for season 2 of The Last of Us and of course I'm talking about that season finale, Convergence. And a little bit more of The Walking Dead because I can't help it. Thanks for listening and Keep Streaming!

The Season finale begs many questions. Why do we fight? Who are we fighting for? How much are we willing to lose in the pursuit? With a gigantic cliffhanger, maybe we'll find out what makes BOTH Abby Anderson and Ellie Williams so special.

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.
