Welcome to the very first episode of Coach's Corner on the Double Duty Agent Podcast! I'm your host, Coach Carla, and today we're diving into a concept that's crucial for double-duty agents—counterbalancing. If you've ever felt overwhelmed trying to achieve that elusive “work-life balance,” this episode is for you. The truth is, balance is a myth, and it could be holding you back from reaching your full potential. Instead of chasing a perfect balance, we're going to explore the more practical and effective approach of counterbalancing.Key Takeaways:The Myth of Work-Life Balance: Why trying to balance everything equally is unrealistic and often leads to mediocrity.What is Counterbalancing? Understanding how to temporarily go out of balance in one area to achieve results, then shifting focus back to other priorities.The Three Buckets: Breaking down your responsibilities into three main areas—work, real estate business, and personal life—and learning how to allocate your time and energy effectively.Time Blocking: How to protect your time blocks like gold and ensure that you're giving 100% focus to what matters most in each bucket.Knowing When to Shift: Tips for recognizing when it's time to adjust your focus from one area of life to another, ensuring that nothing gets neglected for too long.If you found today's episode helpful, please share it with fellow agents who could benefit from these insights!

In this episode, we explore ways to find balance amidst overwhelming AI trends. We kick things off with visionary Don Carson from Mighty Coconut Studios speculating about the imminent arrival of prompt-driven VR worlds that might resemble the Holodeck from Star Trek. Then we dig into the first key concept - the extended mind. Elliot Felix explains philosopher Andy Clark's theory that thinking extends beyond our brains into the spaces and objects around us. To demonstrate, Mike records while out walking in nature and while exploring a new VR Mini Golf world, describing how the environment impacts his mental state. We conclude by hearing from Dr. Natalia Kucirkova on her research into sensory learning and the hidden senses as we round out our discussion of the Extended Mind. The second key concept we dig into is deliberate play which Mike picked up in Adam Grant's new book Hidden Potential. Mike emphasizes the importance of play for learning and bonding. We include a clip from our conversation with Sphero's Michelle Acaley joining Mike and his wife Dr. Robin Naughton as we discuss their new coding toy, Indi, that teaches kids coding concepts through play and off of screens. Finally, we close with the perspective of Mike Acerra of Lux Blox, who offers alternate views on childhood development and the role of nature. He prompts reflection on how experiences in natural settings shape kids' brains. Overall, this episode explores ideas like the extended mind and deliberate play to find balance amidst AI. Let us know what you think of these concepts for countering AI overload and restoring mental space. Looking forward to continuing the conversation!

Are you ready to embrace a life of deep fulfillment where you don't just survive, but thrive? Welcome back, to the "Created To Thrive" podcast, your practical guide to emotional healing, spiritual growth, and stepping into your God-given potential. In today's episode, "Understanding How Bitterness Develops: Practical Steps Towards Healing and Growth," we dive deep into his often overlooked emotion that can silently consume our hearts and minds. Host Lori K. Snyder and guest Lisa Pinney candidly discuss how hurt and prolonged anger can lead to bitterness, and offer insights into healing from abuse, trauma, and how to find healing and support in processing difficult emotions. Lori introduces the topic, emphasizing that bitterness is an emotion that can be difficult to process and that this conversation discusses molestation and abuse, which might be triggering for some listeners, especially those who have experienced abuse or difficult situations. She vulnerably shares her own experiences and struggles with bitterness, acknowledging its impact on their lives. Bitterness is a complex emotion, closely tied to feelings of helplessness, jealousy, rejection, and a lack of love or understanding. Our hosts explore the root causes of bitterness, emphasizing how long-standing feelings of being trapped or misunderstood contribute to its growth. They stress the importance of bringing these feelings into the light and finding non-judgmental listeners to help alleviate the weight of bitterness. They discuss the importance of being seen, known, and validated, drawing from biblical examples like Hagar and Tamar. However, they also stress that forgiveness is essential but does not automatically equate to healing. Healing requires ongoing work, honesty, and vulnerability. They highlight the significance of finding non-judgmental support, such as therapy or coaching, to walk through the healing process. They emphasize the need for trauma-informed support and caution against simplistic advice like "just pray more" that can be harmful. They encourage listeners to acknowledge their emotions, remove masks, and be honest with themselves and God. They share the significance of finding safe people to confide in and seek support from, as healing often happens in relationship with others. Throughout the conversation, they emphasize the role of self-compassion, breaking down harmful beliefs, and cultivating new neural pathways in the brain to overcome bitterness and its effects. The episode concludes with the importance of partnering with God in the healing process, recognizing the significance of cultivating the heart and beliefs.

The world has lived through 2+ years of the COVID-19 pandemic, heightening the awareness of the links between health and other aspects of life including education and the economy. Future pandemics are a real risk but there are a number of other threats to human health and well-being as well. These include climate change, the rise of obesity, inverted population pyramids, inter-state conflict, rising inequalities, antimicrobial resistance. Counterbalancing these threats are the opportunities that may come through the health sector and broader innovation. Using a comprehensive future health scenario framework, Christopher Murray, professor and chair of Health Metrics Sciences, University of Washington and director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, explores the range of future trajectories that may unfold in the 21st century.

Today's episode is the second part of our ongoing conversation about obstacles that impede our spiritual journey. Don't panic if you've jumped into the series midway. You were supposed to hear this first, apparently! Today we'll talk about the fear of death. It can smother our day to day existence. If you're able to cut those tethers, or at least make peace with death, you'll be free to channel that energy elsewhere. The fear of death impedes our spiritual growth, it arrests us, handcuffing us to those base levels of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. In order to explore your connection to something more, you must feel safe, which takes cutting the tethers of fear. And because death related anxiety is prevalent in western civilization, I figured it was a good one to tackle together. The lessons are applicable to any overarching worry you have.Show Creator and Social Media Links: Art Director – Nora HotesLink to audio engineer—Aidan ConnersCurious Cat on TwitterHost, Jennifer Hotes, on TwitterResources and Materials: Many Lives, Many Masters, by Dr. Weiss on Amazon.comMidnight Gospel Wikipedia and Episode Summarieshttps://www.betterhelp.com/advice/phobias/7-steps-to-overcoming-your-fear-of-death-necrophobia-or-thanatophobia/17 Ways to Overcome Your Fear of Death and Death Anxiety by psychologist Nick Wignall
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Counterbalancing “It's time for EA leadership to pull the short-timelines fire alarm”, published by Matthew Barnett on April 9, 2022 on LessWrong. Recently, a post claimed, it seems very possible (>30%) that we are now in the crunch-time section of a short-timelines world, and that we have 3-7 years until Moore's law and organizational prioritization put these systems at extremely dangerous levels of capability. We (Tamay Besiroglu and I) think this claim is strongly overstated, and disagree with the suggestion that “It's time for EA leadership to pull the short-timelines fire alarm.” This post received a fair amount of attention, and we are concerned about a view of the type expounded in the post causing EA leadership to try something hasty and ill-considered. To counterbalance this view, we express our disagreement with the post. To substantiate and make concrete our disagreement, we are offering to bet up to $1000 against the idea that we are in the “crunch-time section of a short-timelines”. In particular, we are willing to bet at at 1:1 odds that no more than one of the following events will occur by 2026-01-01, or alternatively, 3:1 odds (in our favor) that no more than one of the following events will occur by 2030-01-01. A model/ensemble of models achieves >80% on all tasks in the MMLU benchmark A credible estimate reveals that an AI lab deployed EITHER >10^30 FLOPs OR hardware that would cost $1bn if purchased through competitive cloud computing vendors at the time on a training run to develop a single ML model (excluding autonomous driving efforts) A model/ensemble of models will achieve >90% on the MATH dataset using a no-calculator rule A model/ensemble of models achieves >80% top-1 strict accuracy on competition-level problems on the APPS benchmark A gold medal for the IMO Grand Challenge (conditional on it being clear that the questions were not in the training set) A robot that can, from beginning to end, reliably wash dishes, take them out of an ordinary dishwasher and stack them into a cabinet, without breaking any dishes, and at a comparable speed to humans (80% on all tasks in the MMLU benchmarkA public document reveals that a model or ensemble of models had an average accuracy score of more than 80.0% on all tasks listed in the Measuring Massive Multitask Language Understanding benchmark by Dan Hendrycks et al.A credible estimate reveals that an AI lab deployed EITHER >10^30 FLOPs OR hardware that would cost $1bn if purchased through competitive cloud computing vendors at the time on a training run to develop a single ML model (excluding autonomous driving efforts)If there is a dispute, our counterparty will offer an example that they believe may trigger this condition to resolve positively. Then, we will use the method described in this post to estimate the number of FLOPs used for a given training run. We will then find the competitive rates by taking the minimum of the most recent prices found on Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Amazon AWS, or the equivalent services corresponding to each of those companies if their names change in the future. We will determine the rate corresponding to the processing unit that would be capable of training the model in the paper. If the training run was completed than 2 years...

Today I talked to Erica De Bruin about her book How to Prevent Coups d'état: Counterbalancing and Regime Survival (Cornell University Press, 2020). Rulers structure institutions so as to protect their survival as leaders. Fearing powerful challengers in their own governments, rulers often create coercive institutions outside the regular military chain of command – hoping to be able to thwart plots that might lead to a military coup. Counterbalancing the military with republican guards, secret police, and other security forces increases the likelihood that a coup attempt will face resistance and fail. Using an original dataset of security forces in 100 countries, Dr. De Bruin argues that this strategy of counterbalancing military command may help prevent coups but it has serious risks that may weaken the regime in the long term or affect the likelihood of a civil war. Understanding counterbalancing allows scholars to predict where coups attempts will occur, if they will succeed, and the financial and human costs of stopping them. Dr. Erica De Bruin is an associate professor of Government at Hamilton College and has served as a Non-Resident Fellow at the Modern War Institute at the United States Military Academy at West Point. Her work has been published in the Journal of Peace Research, Journal of Conflict Resolution and Foreign Affairs and I'm delighted to welcome her to the New Books Network.

Mike McCarthy has been an influential person to many in their growth and development. He helped others realize the depth and meaning that the legacy you leave is literally nothing unless you are actually leading and growing yourself to be a better human in order to show people how to be better humans. When you are on purpose, people look to you. They watch you. When you look at Mike, you know that he's committed and his integrity is so strong to his personal growth. What's more amazing is how he has taken this to the next level and helped not just individuals, but entire families to the same. Mike found that one of the most important things that we can do in order to be really effective and really realize our full potential is to actually focus on our self first. It actually helps us become a more effective leader in the world and to our families. If you've never heard these two words together—collaborative leadership—chances are you're going to love to hear about it now. Talking about teamwork and collaboration, and those life lessons that we picked up along the way is easy, but as a parent, it's just so different. Collaboration with kids just doesn't sound as appealing. It's hard enough already as it is to get two adults to collaborate, just look at the state of our society currently. But again, as a collaborator with kids, can you imagine? What does that even look like? It sounds more like a playbook. The idea is to create something that was a little more fun, a little more connected, but still allowed the flexibility to pursue ambitions and the unique vision of everyone in the family. We talk about exactly this, a playbook Mike and his wife wrote to instill values and collaborate at home. A truly meaningful way to leave behind a lasting legacy with children who become highly capable individuals. This episode is pretty much why we created this podcast. It's not often that you get to connect with someone who has a foundation in family, business, and community. From family values to development, to collaboration, this episode has everything that we practice in the community.

In this episode we are joined by Jeff Wald from Manhatten in the US.Jeff Wald is the Founder of Work Market, an enterprise software platform that enables companies to manage freelancers (acquired by ADP).Jeff has founded several other technology companies, including Spinback, a social sharing platform (eventually purchased by salesforce.com). Jeff is an active angel investor and startup advisor, as well as serving on numerous public and private Boards of Directors.Jeff is the author of the Amazon Best Seller The End of Jobs: The Rise of On-Demand Workers and Agile Corporations.Book Description;As the robots rise, we are faced with the End of Jobs, but not in the way you might think...The world has witnessed three step functions in technological change: mechanisation, electrification, and computerisation. These industrial revolutions led to massive increases in productivity and thus we need far fewer workers. With each of these technological breakthroughs, the power balance between companies and workers shifted heavily to companies. The abuses of that power by companies instigated employee unrest and sometimes even armed uprisings. Counterbalancing forces rose to constrain companies' power, eventually prompting unions, regulation, and the social safety net to bring stability to the relationship.As we enter the fourth great leap forward in technology with robots and AI, we face the first services revolution. The power balance will again shift massively to companies as new technologies drive productivity increases in the service industry, much as the last three industrial revolutions transformed manufacturing. What lessons can we learn from the past three industrial revolutions and the current state of the labor market? How will we renegotiate the social contract to ensure fairness for workers, set clear rules for companies, and provide stability for society? What is the future of work?

At certain moments in our brief existence, we are faced with great trials. Often those trials are frustrating, unfortunate, or unfair. They seem to come exactly when we think we need them the least. The question is: Do we accept this as an exclusively negative event, or can we get past whatever negativity or adversity it represents and mount an offensive? Or more precisely, can we see that this “problem” presents an opportunity for a solution that we have long been waiting for?
In this episode, Mark speaks with Katie Cross, a writer, mother and out-door enthusiast. On her website, Katie describes herself in this way: "I am a creator of worlds, destroyer of evil, and a born wordsmith bringing light to the dark night of those that need an escape." This is the perfect description for her, which you will get a solid taste of in the interview. Before the interview, Mark welcomes new Patron Ember Casey, thanking her for her patronage of the Stark Reflections podcast.

In the interview Mark and Katie talk about: The inspiration behind the first YA Fantasy series that Katie wrote, which started with the novel Miss Mabel's School for Girls, which was published in 2014 The Wattpad-like platform that Katie first started releasing the book on in order to get honest feedback before she published it Learning how to read as an author rather than reading as a reader The reason why Katie has the entire Antebellum series book covers designed and ready to go even though she hasn't published them yet How the Dragonmaster Trilogy was initially supposed to be part of the Antebellum Collection, but became it's own unique project The process of finding professionals to work with, through networking, slowly, over the years The importance of Efficiency and Intention The concepts of balance and counterbalance Outsourcing particular tasks, like housekeeping and accounting, to allow for prioritizing writing activities The two businesses that Katie runs - the Fiction Business and the GhostWriting Business (ghost-writing non-fiction books for high end entrepreneurs who want to write a book but either don't want to do the writing or aren't able to) The scheduling for tasks such as social media, email, and interacting with fans The importance of scheduling "self-care" time into each day The community of about 200 people that Katie and her family are a part of The daily hiking routine that is important for the entire family (including the dogs) How Katie runs Facebook ads for her fiction and how much she spends per month on these ads The two distinct mailing lists that Katie has for her different fan bases (YA Fantasy and Chick Lit), and how she interacts with and cares for the people on each list The importance of talking to the reasons why reasons gravitate towards each of those unique genres The advice that Katie would give to her herself when she was first starting, which includes finding a good mentor After the interview, Mark reflects on the concept of Balance and Counterbalance.
