Mens Room Question: Who's the biggest D-Bag that you've ever had to deal with?

Are we witnessing the early stages of an insurance crisis making its way to Nevada? With wildfire-related home insurance cancellations and denials on the rise across Clark County, even state regulators are having trouble explaining why. Plus, after a months-long workplace dispute between two Las Vegas city workers ended in a fatal shooting, many are wondering how HR let it get this far. Finally, the A's stadium construction is moving along, but Bally's doesn't seem to be holding up their end of the bargain. Host Jesse Merrick digs into it all with local artist and writer Brent Holmes and City Cast Las Vegas Creative Producer Jacob Solis.

Birthday Emails and Who Sucks Less

Mary Capps worked as the only other compliance officer in Park City, Kansas, for more than six years. She reported directly to Dennis Rader. She would later tell the Wichita Eagle that he had never paid her a compliment in six years. That he discriminated against her because she was a woman. That he had created a hostile workplace she could not endure.After Rader's arrest in February of 2005, Mary Capps filed an EEOC complaint and a Kansas Human Rights Commission complaint against the city of Park City for the work environment he had built. She also said, in her own words, the things her coworker had been that nobody had publicly said before. Hateful. Condescending. Egotistical.She was one of at least five people on the record, after the arrest, describing what they had felt about Dennis Rader before anybody knew. A neighbor whose wife watched him film their back yard. A divorced single mother whose dog he killed. A Cub Scout parent who pulled her son from his pack. A neighbor across the street who, after sixteen years of knowing him, called him "definitely two-sided."In the third chapter of True Crime Today's five-part BTK investigation, host Tony Brueski walks through the gap between what people who knew Dennis Rader sensed about him and what nobody was able to put together until after his arrest. The official roles. The community positions. The city paychecks. The institutional letterhead Dennis Rader collected over thirty years.This is the third uncomfortable truth. The cultural picture of a serial killer in 1995 did not include the city compliance officer with the clipboard. The cultural picture was wrong, and the people whose instincts had been correct could not get anybody to listen.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

You thought your Wednesday morning commute was rough — try sharing St. Louis County soil with a regenerating, toxin-releasing, hammerhead shark-headed worm straight out of a horror movie. Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge have the full stomach-turning story, plus the one rule you absolutely cannot break when you find one in your yard. Then the good news — St. Louis County has a new police chief, Juan Cox (no relation), and early signs suggest he's the real deal with a track record of actually lowering crime. And just when you thought the stories couldn't get wilder, a St. John man strangled his coworker over a promotion and told police he would have killed her if the manager hadn't walked in. It's the St. Louis Morning Brief on the Marc Cox Morning Show — your one-stop briefing for everything happening in your backyard, and apparently, under it too.

Both of these types are driven by ideas. Both can light up a room when the topic is right. But underneath that shared curiosity, two very different strivings are running the show.The Five's striving to feel detached, capable, and competent isn't about being a know-it-all, it's about making sure they have enough before they give anything away. They go inward, go deep, and conserve their energy carefully. The Seven's striving to feel excited and satisfied isn't about being scattered, but rather about staying energized and in motion. They go outward, go wide, and keep moving because slowing down feels like being limited and contained.One goes within to recharge. The other expands to stay fueled up. Put them on the same team and you get either the most idea-generating pairing in the building... or two people who genuinely cannot figure out why the other one works the way they do. The difference usually comes down to whether they understand what's actually driving each other.The Strengths of This Pairing:The Five goes deep; the Seven goes wide; together they cover interesting topics that neither could cover alone, and the best ideas usually live in the overlapSevens draw Fives out of their heads and into momentum; that spark can get a Five's best thinking off the whiteboard and into the worldFives give Sevens something they rarely slow down for: needed rigor, helping stress-test an idea before it's already been announced to the whole companyBoth types are genuinely energized by learning; when they find a topic they're both excited about, the conversation is electric and the output shows itPotential Friction:The Seven's pace can feel reckless to a Five; the Five's pace can feel like hesitation to a Seven, and both interpretations are wrong, but neither person says soThe Seven keeps introducing new ideas before the Five has finished with the last one, and the Five quietly loses trust in the Seven's ability to actually executeThe Five's need for quiet and solitude to do their best thinking can feel like rejection to a Seven who is energized by engagement and presenceBoth types avoid sitting with hard things, but from opposite directions; the Seven pivots away through optimism and activity, the Five retreats into analysis, and difficult conversations end up intellectualized or quietly dropped instead of actually resolvedResources + Links:Learn more about the 3-part Dream Team Momentum program: enneagrammba.com/enneagram-team-workshopsRun your own Enneagram Workshop: enneagrammba.com/enneagram-workshop-kitConnect with Sarah on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/sarahlynnwallace/Take the 2-question Enneagram quiz: enneagrammba.com/blog/enneagramtestWork with Sarah - workshops, speaking, and team facilitation: enneagrammba.com/enneagram-speakerHave a request for a future episode?

Am I the Jerk? is the show where you can confess your deepest darkest secrets and be part of the conversation.

In Episode 307 of the FNO: InsureTech Podcast, hosts Rob Beller and Lee Boyd welcome Aman Gour, Co-founder and CEO of FurtherAI, joining from San Francisco, the epicenter of today's AI revolution. Aman shares his journey from Microsoft to second time founder, and how he is now building one of the most ambitious AI driven companies in insurance. Aman discusses how FurtherAI is helping insurers automate real work across the entire policy lifecycle using AI agents that can process documents, make decisions, and execute workflows end to end. He explains why insurance, with its reliance on unstructured data and manual processes, is uniquely positioned for transformation through AI. The conversation goes beyond technology, exploring what it means to build a company during a once in a generation platform shift, why humility and domain expertise matter in vertical AI, and how founders can navigate rapid change while building lasting value. Aman also shares insights on scaling quickly, earning customer trust in a risk averse industry, and his long term vision of building a public company. Key Highlights [04:00] Meet Aman Gour and FurtherAI Aman introduces FurtherAI and shares the company's mission to transform insurance using AI agents that automate real workflows across the value chain.

[13:00] Outsourcing Thinking vs Understanding A powerful insight: while AI can do the thinking, humans must still provide judgment and understanding. [14:30] What FurtherAI Actually Does How the platform deploys AI agents to automate underwriting intake, claims workflows, and other high volume insurance processes. [16:30] Founder Origin Story Aman's journey from Microsoft to building and exiting an AI recruiting startup, and why he chose to start again. [19:00] The Pivot That Changed Everything How an early idea was labeled a "tar pit" and forced a major pivot that ultimately led to insurance. [21:00] Why Insurance Became the Focus Breaking down why insurance rose to the top as the ideal industry for AI transformation. [22:00] Learning Insurance from Scratch The now famous story of driving around with donuts to meet brokers and understand the industry firsthand. [25:00] Why AI Fits Insurance So Well How unstructured data, manual workflows, and operational complexity make insurance a prime candidate for AI. [26:30] Automating the Entire Lifecycle Why FurtherAI is focused on connecting workflows across underwriting, claims, and servicing, not just solving one piece. [29:00] Building for the Long Term Aman shares his goal of building a company that goes public and the decisions required to get there.

The CEO of Vista Equity Partners explains what it will take to win the “agentic revolution.”

Striving to Feel Powerful meets Striving to Feel at PeaceThe Eight and Nine pairing is one of those dynamics where the differences are impossible to miss and the similarities can be completely hidden. Eights tend to be direct, decisive, and energized by challenge. Nines are steady, accommodating, and energized when everyone is getting along. But here's what most people miss: both types are deeply loyal, both are quietly protective of the people they care about, and both have a stubborn streak that isn't always visible until something important is on the line.The Eight's striving to feel strong and in control isn't aggression, but rather self-protection. They push hard because backing down feels like losing something important about themselves. The Nine's striving to feel at peace isn't necessarily passivity, but rather preservation. They accommodate because conflict feels like a genuine threat to the stability they need to function well.When those two strivings meet in a workplace, you get a dynamic that's full of potential and can also be full of landmines. The difference between the two usually comes down to whether both people understand what's actually behind the friction.The Strengths of This Pairing:The Eight generates momentum and makes the tough call; the Nine builds the consensus and brings people along. Together, they can move fast and sustainablyNines have a rare ability to receive an Eight's intensity without shutting down or mirroring it back, which often makes the Eight more effective with othersEights give Nines something they often struggle to find on their own: permission (and sometimes pressure!) to take up space and speak honestlyBoth types are fiercely loyal to their people; when this pairing trusts each other, they can create a workplace bond that runs deep Where the Potential Can Show Up:The Eight's directness can feel like an attack to a Nine striving for peace, even when zero attack was intended... and the Nine won't say anything, so resentment can buildThe Nine's tendency to go along can quietly drive an Eight up the wall, because Eights actually want real pushback. It doesn't feel safe when they can't get a read on someone.Unresolved tension looks completely different for each type: the Eight escalates, the Nine withdraws, and neither one is actually resolving anythingThe Eight reads the Nine's calm as disengagement; the Nine reads the Eight's intensity as a sign that something is already wrongReflection Question from This Episode: Where on your team is someone striving to feel strong and powerful and someone else striving to feel calm and at peace? Is the organization/team creating conditions for both of those to actually get what they need?Resources + Links:Learn more about the 3-part Dream Team Momentum program: enneagrammba.com/enneagram-team-workshopsRun your own Enneagram Workshop: enneagrammba.com/enneagram-workshop-kitConnect with Sarah on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/sarahlynnwallace/Take the 2-question Enneagram quiz: enneagrammba.com/blog/enneagramtestWork with Sarah - workshops, speaking, and team facilitation: enneagrammba.com/enneagram-speakerHave a request for a future episode?

Under his leadership, Share It Studio has worked with hundreds of top-performing e-commerce brands, blending creativity with analytics to craft product images, videos, and A+ content that actually convert.Before founding Share It Studio, Rafael built a career in film and marketing, becoming a 3-time Telly Award–winning entrepreneur. He's passionate about helping brands optimize their listings, understand their buyers, and stand out in competitive marketplaces. Highlight Bullets> Here's a glimpse of what you would learn…. Ben Leonard's entrepreneurial journey with Beast Gear, from initial investment to seven-figure exit.Challenges faced after selling Beast Gear to Thrasio, including mismanagement and loss of brand identity.Importance of effective inventory management and the consequences of overleveraging.The significance of building a genuine consumer brand beyond basic Amazon tactics.The role of intellectual property protection and the impact of neglecting it.Insights on the operational difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on e-commerce.Strategies for diversifying sales channels and avoiding dependency on a single platform.The importance of quality in products and overall business operations.Marketing strategies for brand awareness, including the use of influencers and social media.Lessons learned from reacquiring and reviving a brand in a competitive market.In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, host Josh Hadley speaks with Rafael Veloz, founder of ShareIt Studio, about optimizing Amazon product listings through visual storytelling. Rafael discusses the nuanced impact of AI-generated images, emphasizing that authenticity often outperforms polished visuals — demonstrated by a shoe cleaner brand scaling from $400K to $12M monthly. He advocates for a full-funnel marketing approach beyond PPC, continuous image testing, and integrating AI tools strategically. Rafaell also highlights the importance of emotional connection in content creation and recommends building strong internal creative teams to drive sustainable e-commerce growth.Here are the 3 action items that Josh identified from this episode:Prioritize authenticity over polish Test raw, real-looking visuals (UGC-style, iPhone shots)—they often convert better than high-end production. Systematize testing with data Validate images using tools and customer feedback before scaling; continuously test and iterate based on performance. Build a dedicated creative strategy team Don't rely on freelancers—invest in a creative lead and team to consistently produce, test, and optimize high-converting content.Timestamps:00:00:01 Authenticity vs. Professionalism in AdsOrganic, real-feeling content can perform twice as well as high-end professional videos, depending on the product's industry.00:00:50 Podcast and Guest IntroductionHost Josh Hadley introduces the topic of AI images on Amazon and welcomes guest Rafael Veloz from ShareIt Studio.00:02:27 Are AI Images Hurting Amazon Listings?AI images can hurt sales if used incorrectly, as they can lower the "perceived value" for emotionally-driven products.00:04:01 The Shoe Cleaner Case StudyA shoe cleaner brand grew from $400K to $1.2M a month by focusing on authentic, emotional content.00:06:26 How to Test and Update Main ImagesAnalyze competitor reviews for emotional triggers, create multiple main images, and test them both off and on Amazon regularly.00:12:01 Building a System for Creative ContentInstead of "hacks," build a system.

Her coworker asked her to buy a drink at a wedding and she refused. Is she the jerk?

Mistaken identity in fluorescent hallways.Then the sightings kept happening.Coworkers swore they saw her on floors she'd never visited. Patients insisted she stood silently inside their rooms after midnight. Security guards claimed they passed her in empty hallways moments before discovering she was somewhere else entirely.But the creepiest part wasn't that people kept seeing her.It was that whatever they were seeing looked almost exactly like her… just not quite right.#RealGhostStories #HospitalHaunting #Doppelganger #ParanormalExperience #ShadowPerson #GhostStory #HauntedHospital #SupernaturalEncounter #TrueScaryStories #CreepyHospitalStories Love real ghost stories?

AI is not just another tool for advisors to buy. It may be the next coworker helping firms grow, serve clients, and reclaim capacity. In this episode of The Registered Investment Advisor Podcast, host Seth Greene interviews Sam Sova, Co-Founder and CEO of Subatomic, who explains how advisory firms can use AI, data orchestration, and workflow-native agents to connect disconnected systems, improve operational efficiency, and create more personalized client engagement. He also discusses why AI adoption requires a different mindset than traditional software, how mid-sized firms can move quickly, and why the future advisor role will remain deeply human while becoming more scalable through AI.   Key Takeaways: → The future of AI adoption is less about buying individual tools and more about creating AI teammates that can learn preferences, complete tasks, and operate autonomously. → Most advisory firms operate with fragmented systems that do not communicate effectively. AI becomes dramatically more powerful when client data is orchestrated into a single unified view.    → Smaller and mid-sized firms can implement AI solutions quickly and adapt faster than larger institutions burdened by bureaucracy and legacy systems.   → Tasks like meeting preparation, workflow automation, and data aggregation that once consumed thousands of hours annually can now be completed in minutes.   → AI can help advisors create more meaningful client interactions by connecting personal interests, market events, and client data to generate relevant outreach opportunities.     Sam Sova is the Co-Founder and CEO of Subatomic, where he helps wealth management firms break through the growth ceiling by hiring AI Co-Workers instead of adding headcount.  Instead of layering automation on top of fragmented systems, Subatomic unifies data across the tools firms already use so AI can operate natively inside real workflows. Sam brings more than two decades of experience across marketing, strategy, and technology, with prior leadership roles at Fiserv, TIAA, AT&T, Johnson Controls, Con Edison, and Soluna.   Connect With Sam: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/subatomicai/ LinkedIn (Company): https://www.linkedin.com/company/subatomicai/ LinkedIn (Personal): https://www.linkedin.com/in/samsova/ X (Company): https://x.com/subatomicai X (Personal): https://x.com/samsova   Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: My parent organization has trust issues: we registered on a recent survey as one of the lowest across the bigger software org (thousands of employees). There are two groups: functional, trustworthy people who get stuff done, and people who are behind, stuck, or just not working. Those struggling say they need better emotional support, but there is consistent, documented evidence that they cannot keep up. I'm perpetually frustrated that there are only two or three people in an org of 30 who can effectively complete tasks and manage the insane workload. I am biased: those in whom I have no trust have repeatedly demonstrated that they cannot be trusted. I believe that the organization would be able to go faster without them. Whats the right answer here? Should I start my own company to abandon this mess? Do we cut scope super aggressively to allow underperformers to be reasonable contributors? One example: one of these contributors was walked through the process, given written documentation of the process, verbally confirmed an understanding of the process, and committed to starting that day. And then two days later identified they hadn't started for those two days because they were blocked by something that was explicitly captured in the document and discussed in the recorded meeting. They do not raise this until they were asked for their progress multiple days beyond the critical start date. Hi Dave and Jamison, First, thank you for the podcast. As someone on the spectrum, it really helps me analyze social situations I struggle with. My question: I work at a software company where management is pushing the use of LLMs for coding, and my team recently started using Spec-Driven Development. SDD often requires strong upfront planning, which has quietly split my small team between developers who plan well and those who get lost in “vibe-coding” loops. One of those people is a close coworker I consider a friend (we hang out after work and have honest chats about everything). He's not strong at planning, so I end up explaining each ticket to him in detail. But he's really great in other ways: communicative, asks a lot of questions in refinement sessions that set a good example for others, does thorough handoffs with the QA team, always responsive in chat, always trying to help. He's also one of the rare people who actually pay attention to alerts. Since we started using SDD, the gap in our speed and output quality has become very visible. One of our tech directors noticed and asked me to teach him planning. We spent several days drawing schemas and working through small features together, and it was clearly painful for him. The TD also had his own sessions with him, but eventually gave up because my friend seemed so discouraged, and the TD decided to “stop the torture” and leave him alone. The hard part is that after all these teaching sessions, he actually seems even slower than before and also more discouraged and down. Since then, our friendship has changed. He stopped talking to me outside work, and I think he now feels jealous or bothered by the difference in our performance. I'm okay with continuing to explain tickets and outlining detailed execution plans for him, but I worry that I'm keeping him in his comfort zone and not really helping his career. And I also miss how things used to be between us
