In this episode, I open up about something most high-performing men don't talk about… the slow drift into mediocrity.I share the moment I realized I had fallen off track — not in fitness, but in standards. As a 13-year Navy SEAL and firefighter, I'd been through the most demanding environments you can imagine… but none of that protected me from slipping into comfort, distraction, and autopilot.You'll hear what finally snapped me out of it, the system I used to regain my edge, and how I now coach other men to do the same inside the Rebuild the Man program.If you're a man over 35 who's strong on the outside but slipping on the inside… this one's for you.

This is it. The highest form of love—the love that sent Christ to the Cross and the love that will transform you if you let it.We've covered storge (affection), philia (friendship), and eros (romantic love), but agape? This is the love that separates boys from men. It's sacrificial. It's relentless. It's the love that doesn't ask, “What's in it for me?” but instead, “How can I give more?”In this episode, we dig deep into what agape really is and why it's the foundation of everything in the Christian life. We break down: ✅ How Christ showed the ultimate act of agape on the Cross ✅ Why agape isn't a feeling—it's an act of the will ✅ The Eucharist: The tangible sign of agape love, given to us daily ✅ Practical ways to live agape as a husband, father, priest, or single man ✅ The biggest roadblocks that keep men from loving with agape and how to destroy themWant to be a better husband? A stronger father? A leader in your community? Master agape, and everything else falls into place.Lent is coming—how will you love differently?3 Powerful Quotes from the Episode:“The ultimate act of agape is found in Christ's Passion and death. He didn't do it because we deserved it—He did it because love demands sacrifice.”“Husbands, fathers, act like it. Your primary job is to love your family with agape—not when it's convenient, not when you feel like it, but always.”“You can't do agape on your own. You need the Eucharist. You need Confession. You need grace. Stop trying to white-knuckle holiness—go to the sacraments.”Love with action, not just words. Agape isn't about feeling good—it's about doing good. Whether it's leading your family in prayer, sacrificing your comfort for the sake of your wife and kids, or speaking truth to a brother in need, real love is lived out.Lent is around the corner.

Could making Wikidata 'human' readable lead to better AI? A new project is underway to allow Large Language Models (LLMs) to read Wikidata. The data is currently structured in a way that's machine readable, but LLMs read data more like humans than machines, meaning this vast amount of human curated, high quality data isn't accessible to this type of AI. By allowing access to Wikidata, LLMs could become more reliable. Ania spoke to Lydia Pintscher, the Portfolio Lead Product Manager at Wikidata Deutschland, to learn more about these developments. Most news websites block AI ChatbotsTwo thirds of high quality news websites block AI chatbots from accessing their information, according to a report by the misinformation monitoring organisation NewsGuard. This means that some of the world's most popular AI chatbots could be collecting data on misinformation from low quality news sources and even conspiracy and hoax sites. The Enterprise Editor at NewsGuard is Jack Brewster and he is on the show to explain their findings.The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Ania Lichtarowicz.More on this week's stories: Wikidata and Artificial Intelligence: Simplified Access to Open Data for Open-Source ProjectsAI Chatbots Are Blocked by 67% of Top News Sites, Relying Instead on Low-Quality SourcesSupport the showEditor: Ania LichtarowiczProduction Manager: Liz Tuohy Recording and audio editing : Lansons | Team Farner For new episodes, subscribe wherever you get your podcasts or via this link:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2265960/supporters/newFollow us on all the socials: Join our Facebook group Instagram Twitter/X If you like Somewhere on Earth, please rate and review it on Apple PodcastsContact us by email: hello@somewhereonearth.coSend us a voice note: via WhatsApp: +44 7486 329 484Find a Story + Make it News = Change the World

Subscriber-only episodeSend us a textThe first ever DNA computer engine and storage deviceA revolutionary approach to computing has just been published by a team of US engineers. Instead of using silicon to underpin our tech, the researchers have used DNA - the very molecules present in all living cells that encode the fundamental aspects of our existence. Teams from North Carolina State University and Johns Hopkins University have achieved this ground-breaking advancement, referring to it as a "primordial DNA store and compute engine." This innovative system is reportedly capable of solving basic Sudoku and chess puzzles. The DNA structure they have developed can be used for data storage and also data retrieval, computation, deletion, and rewriting and could be used to store vast amounts of data in just a few cubic centimetres. This could replace current servers in mass data centres that use vast amounts of energy and water.  From North Carolina State University the lead authors of the work, Professor Orlin Velev and Associate Professor Albert Keung are on the show.The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Ania Lichtarowicz.More on this week's stories:A primordial DNA store and computer engineEditor: Ania LichtarowiczProduction Manager: Liz Tuohy Recording and audio editing : Lansons | Team Farner For new episodes, subscribe wherever you get your podcasts or via this link:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2265960/supporters/newFollow us on all the socials: Join our Facebook group Instagram Twitter/X If you like Somewhere on Earth, please rate and review it on Apple PodcastsContact us by email: hello@somewhereonearth.coSend us a voice note: via WhatsApp: +44 7486 329 484Find a Story + Make it News = Change the World

Subscriber-only episodeSend us a textIs Kamala Harris the AI Tsar? The upcoming debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is scheduled for next week, where the two candidates for the U.S. presidency will engage in a direct confrontation on the ABC news channel in anticipation of the November election. Should the topic of artificial intelligence arise, it may favour Kamala Harris, given her significant involvement in AI policy as Vice President. This perspective is shared by Bhaskar Chakravorti, Dean of Global Business at The Fletcher School, Tufts University, who recently discussed technology, the election, and Kamala Harris with our editor Ania. While the Vice President enjoys substantial support from influential figures in Silicon Valley, it is important to note that prominent tech entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are aligned with Team Trump.  Video Games were good for mental health through COVIDEngaging in gaming for a few hours each day has been shown to enhance mental well-being, as indicated by a recent study published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour. One significant finding of this research is that merely owning a gaming console can have positive effects. The critical aspect of this study is that it establishes causation rather than mere correlation, which is a significant advancement in this field of research. For instance, if an individual purchases a gaming console and exhibits good mental health, one might question whether their happiness is a pre-existing condition or if the acquisition of the console has contributed to their improved well-being. This study was conducted during the pandemic, and the unique circumstances of that period enabled researchers to uncover valuable insights regarding the connection between gaming and mental health.

Subscriber-only episodeSend us a textTiny batteries for tiny robots that could deliver drugs inside our bodiesEngineers at MIT have developed a miniature battery that can power cell-sized, autonomous robots for drug delivery within the human body, as well as for other purposes such as detecting leaks in gas pipelines. The batteries measure 0.1 mm in length and 0.002mm in thickness each - that's about the same thickness as a human hair. The battery captures oxygen from the air and uses it to oxidize zinc, generating a current with a potential of up to 1 volt. This output is sufficient to power small circuits, sensors, or actuators.

Send us a textTiny batteries for tiny robots that could deliver drugs inside our bodies Engineers at MIT have developed a miniature battery that can power cell-sized, autonomous robots for drug delivery within the human body, as well as for other purposes such as detecting leaks in gas pipelines. The batteries measure 0.1 mm in length and 0.002mm in thickness each - that's about the same thickness as a human hair. The battery captures oxygen from the air and uses it to oxidize zinc, generating a current with a potential of up to 1 volt. This output is sufficient to power small circuits, sensors, or actuators.

Recently internet speeds throughout Pakistan have significantly diminished, leading to widespread outrage and allegations that the government is covertly implementing a new firewall system to enhance its surveillance and control over the nation's internet.

Taxi drivers in Kenya have taken on the algorithms of ride hailing apps such as Uber, Bolt and Little by working together to increase fares above those suggested by the apps.

Subscriber-only episodeSend us a Text Message.Gen Z, Millennials, technology and the Nairobi protestsFollowing a tumultuous – and violent – series of days in Kenya, President Ruto has reversed his decision on tax hikes that sparked unrest in the streets. The situation has been extremely dire – with law enforcement resorting to tear gas and firearms. Amnesty International, in collaboration with local civic groups in Kenya, has documented a minimum of five fatalities from gunshot wounds and over thirty individuals sustaining injuries. The turmoil primarily took place in the capital city of Nairobi but has also extended to other urban areas across the nation. This protest largely resonated with the Gen-Z demographic, who before seemed unlikely to vote – prompting an examination of the influence of social media. Wairimu Gitahi joins us from Nairobi to delve into this matter further.Will cheapfakes lead to President Biden's downfall?Following, what some commentators are describing as a disastrous presidential debate for Joe Biden, could a low tech misinformation campaign help secure a Trump victory? Misinformation comes in many forms online, but most of us would assume high-level tech would be behind major election interference. However, in the US elections it appears that cheapfakes are becoming increasingly popular.

The situation has been extremely dire – with law enforcement resorting to tear gas and firearms. Amnesty International, in collaboration with local civic groups in Kenya, has documented a minimum of five fatalities from gunshot wounds and over thirty individuals sustaining injuries. The turmoil primarily took place in the capital city of Nairobi but has also extended to other urban areas across the nation. This protest largely resonated with the Gen-Z demographic, who before seemed unlikely to vote – prompting an examination of the influence of social media. Wairimu Gitahi joins us from Nairobi to delve into this matter further. Will cheapfakes lead to President Biden's downfall? Following, what some commentators are describing as a disastrous presidential debate for Joe Biden, could a low tech misinformation campaign help secure a Trump victory? Misinformation comes in many forms online, but most of us would assume high-level tech would be behind major election interference. However, in the US elections it appears that cheapfakes are becoming increasingly popular. Bhaskar Chakravorti, Dean of Global Business at The Fletcher School, Tufts University explains how Trump supporters don't need AI or fancy tech to make Biden look frail and weak.The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Wairimu Gitahi.More on this week's stories:Kenya unrest: Deep economic roots that brought Gen-Z onto streetsWhite house says Joe-Biden is a victim of ‘cheap fakes': What are they?How to Start a Podcast Guide: The Complete GuideLearn how to plan, record, and launch your podcast with this illustrated guide.Support the Show.Editor: Ania LichtarowiczProduction Manager: Liz Tuohy Recording and audio editing : Lansons | Team Farner For new episodes, subscribe wherever you get your podcasts or via this link:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2265960/supporters/newFollow us on all the socials: Join our Facebook group Instagram Twitter/X If you like Somewhere on Earth, please rate and review it on Apple PodcastsContact us by email: hello@somewhereonearth.coSend us a voice note: via WhatsApp: +44 7486 329 484Find a Story + Make it News = Change the World

Subscriber-only episodeSend us a Text Message.Detecting cancer at the DNA level with AINew research shows that cancer could be detected in the very building blocks of life – our DNA, possibly leading to a diagnosis when the disease is in its infancy.  Dr. Shamith Samarajiwa from Imperial College London is on the show to discuss how AI can be used to detect tiny changes to our DNA called methylation patterns.  Genetic factors play a significant role in the development of cancer, making it essential to analyse disruptions in our DNA for accurate diagnosis. However, identifying specific genes affected by cancer is not a straightforward process. The impact of cancer on our DNA may appear random initially, but by studying numerous human genomes and disease cases, researchers can start to identify patterns. This requires analysing billions of individual data points to determine any significant findings.     Could AI help tackle the loneliness epidemic Being lonely doesn't necessarily mean you are truly alone. We are currently facing what some refer to as a 'loneliness pandemic'. According to a new book, artificial intelligence is becoming more adept at providing social support and helping people overcome the feelings of low self-esteem and social isolation that often accompany loneliness. “The Psychology of Artificial Intelligence” has just been published and author Tony Prescott, a professor of cognitive robotics at the University of Sheffield in England, joins us on the podcast.    The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Ghislaine Boddington.    More on this week's stories: Early detection and diagnosis of cancer with interpretable machine learning to uncover cancer-specific DNA methylation patterns The Psychology of Artificial IntelligenceEditor: Ania LichtarowiczProduction Manager: Liz Tuohy Recording and audio editing : Lansons | Team Farner For new episodes, subscribe wherever you get your podcasts or via this link:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2265960/supporters/newFollow us on all the socials: Join our Facebook group Instagram Twitter/X If you like Somewhere on Earth, please rate and review it on Apple PodcastsContact us by email: hello@somewhereonearth.coSend us a voice note: via WhatsApp: +44 7486 329 484Find a Story + Make it News = Change the World

Send us a Text Message.Who is behind the big hack attacks? More than 100 organisations around the world are believed to have been hacked in ransomware attacks since 2022 by a single hacker group. The most recent occurrence of a ransomware attack was on a company responsible for analysing blood tests for the UK's National Health Service which prompted some major London hospitals to declare a 'critical incident', with many operations postponed. It is believed that a criminal organisation known as Qilin, consisting of individuals fluent in Russian, orchestrated this malicious act, by inserting a piece of software into the company's IT system which locks it.  Once payment is received then access is restored. Ania Lichtarowicz has been investigating for SOEP. Would tweezers be better than robotic hands?What if, instead of having hands, we had some kind of bionic device at the end of our arms. Could we adapt to it as naturally as if we'd never had hands in the first place? Researchers in Italy have been addressing that very question using virtual reality. They've devised a set of virtual tweezer hands and invited volunteers to try using them to perform dextrous tasks. Professor Viviana Betti leads Cosync, a lab specialising in neurological research at the Sapienza University of Rome in Italy, and the Laboratory of Neuroscience and Applied Technology at the Santa Lucia Foundation IRCCS, also in Rome.

Send us a Text Message.Millions of gallons of water needed for new data centres in Chile during 30 year drought Chile looks set to become the data centre capital of Latin America, with the country's President announcing another 28 proposed developments.  But these data centres require vast amounts of electricity to run and huge volumes of water to cool them. With the country experiencing a severe long term drought, predicted to last until 2040, how can building these centres benefit the environment and local communities.  Rest of World Latin American reporter Daniela Dib has been investigating these concerns. Concrete alternatives not very eco-friendly New biobased building materials made from fungi and agricultural residues have been hailed as a possible environmentally friendly concrete replacement.  However, new research suggests that these alternatives need huge amounts of electricity to produce and have a shorter lifespan than concrete.  To discuss these potential issues as well as how to overcome them, the researcher behind the findings, Stefania Akromah of the University of Bristol joins us on the show.   The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Peter Guest.    More on this week's stories: U.S tech giants are building dozens of data centers in Chile.
