On this episode of The Financial Guys Podcast, Mike Lomas and Glenn Wiggle dive into the failures of liberal policies, the collapse of common sense in politics, and the growing frustrations of everyday Americans. From the absurd defense of violent criminals to the chaos in international trade deals, the hosts highlight how misguided leadership has eroded safety, security, and fairness.They tackle government overreach in business, the broken education system, and the alarming state of public schools—where millions are spent while students fail basic subjects. The conversation also shines a light on issues of homelessness, drug abuse, and immigration, arguing that decades of failed policies have left cities like Chicago and New York in ruins.Rounding out the episode, Mike and Glenn take aim at political corruption, from gerrymandering hypocrisy to shady financial dealings by entrenched politicians, underscoring the urgent need for accountability and reform.Tune in for a no-nonsense conservative take on the news the mainstream media won't touch.(00:00:51) Critical Thinking in Political Decision-Making(00:04:45) Unfair Import Taxes in International Trade Agreements(00:09:39) Education System Failures in Socialist Politics(00:13:12) Risks of Direct Government Involvement in Business(00:18:08) Impact of Drug Addiction on Homeless Individuals(00:21:51) Equitable Tax System with Flat Tariffs(00:29:13) Math Proficiency Disparities in Chicago Schools(00:33:09) Gender Identity Impact on School Policies(00:38:05) Republican Party Gains Momentum in Voter Registration

Artificial intelligence can speed decisions — and, if unchecked, speed mistakes. In this episode, leadership expert Niels Brabandt shows how to harness AI without sacrificing judgement, governance or trust. From “plausible but wrong” outputs (like optimistic walk times or misread PDFs) to high-risk failures (fabricated case law, myth-based policies), Niels explains why critical thinking belongs at the heart of every AI workflow. What you will learn A simple loop to de-risk AI: Analysis → Evaluation → Judgement When to insist on primary sources (and how to verify “too perfect” citations) The quality gates every team needs: fact-check, bias screen, hallucination red flags Data hygiene & access control: stop internal AIs exposing sensitive information A practical 30/60/90-day plan to embed policy, red-teaming and measurable KPIs How boards can balance speed with accountability — and avoid the “cheap & fast” trap Who it is for CEOs, founders, board members and senior leaders who want AI-driven speed and decision-grade reliability.

Does Latin Still Matter? Why Parents Should Care About This “Dead” LanguageLatin is often dismissed as outdated or impractical - especially in an age of Google Translate and global languages like Spanish or Mandarin. So why do classical Christian schools keep it at the center of their curriculum? In this episode, host Davies Owens sits down with Dr. Chad Kim - author, pastor, and long-time Latin teacher - to unpack the surprising relevance of Latin today.Together they explore:Why Latin is more than a “dead language” and remains the bedrock of Western civilizationHow learning Latin strengthens logic, attention, and critical thinkingThe way Latin opens doors to Scripture, church history, and the Great BooksWhy wrestling with Latin builds the discipline and fortitude our distracted culture desperately needsHow Dr. Kim's new curriculum brings joy, depth, and even prayer into Latin study

In this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I sit down with Dr. Philip A. Glotzbach, former President of Skidmore College, philosopher, and passionate advocate for the liberal arts, to talk about how students can get the most out of their college experience — and why it's about far more than getting a job. His latest book, Embrace Your Freedom: Winning Strategies to Succeed in College and in Life, is both a practical guide and a philosophical invitation to use higher education as a launchpad for a meaningful life. His message: Embrace freedom. Your college years are a time to be curious, explore ideas, build relationships, and learn to love freedom. A Life in Education and Leadership Dr. Glotzbach's journey began at the University of Notre Dame, where he discovered a love for philosophy, and continued at Yale University, where he earned his Ph.D. and fell in love with teaching. After 15 years as a philosophy professor at Denison University, he moved into administration, eventually becoming President of Skidmore College for 17 years. Throughout his career, one question has guided him: What can we do to give students the best chance at a meaningful life? The answer, for him, blends intellectual development, personal responsibility, and civic engagement — themes woven into his convocation talks to new students, which eventually became the foundation for Embrace Your Freedom. Why College Is a One-Time Opportunity to Embrace Freedom College, Dr. Glotzbach says, is a singular moment in life — “you get one shot at being an undergraduate.” It's a time for “test-driving your adult self,” exploring big questions, and deciding what kind of person you want to be, as well as what kind of world you want to help create. Too often, students see college only as a steppingstone to employment. While preparing for a career matters, narrowing your focus too early shortens the shelf life of your skills. Today's graduates will likely change not just jobs but entire careers multiple times. The broader your education, the better equipped you'll be to adapt to an unpredictable future. Watch our podcast on YouTube here: From Negative Freedom to Positive Freedom One of the book's central ideas is the shift from “negative freedom” — the absence of external constraints — to “positive freedom,” which is about deciding what you will do with that freedom. Positive freedom requires embracing structure and responsibility to pursue meaningful goals. Dr. Glotzbach compares it to training for a marathon: you give up certain freedoms (like sleeping late) in exchange for the discipline that makes your goal achievable. In college, that means setting intentional objectives — for your courses, your extracurriculars, your relationships — and committing fully to them. Begin Now — And Begin Again If there's one mantra Dr. Glotzbach wants every student to remember, it's Begin now. Your college career doesn't start “later” — it starts the moment you arrive on campus. Don't wait for the second semester or sophomore year to get serious. That doesn't mean you won't face setbacks. Everyone stumbles. The key is to begin again — to get back up, recommit, and move forward. “The most important thing is not how many times you get knocked down,” he says, quoting Vince Lombardi, “but how many times you get back up.” The Liberal Arts Advantage for Embracing Freedom As a philosopher and liberal arts leader, Dr. Glotzbach believes deeply in the value of studying broadly. Liberal arts disciplines develop critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and the ability to synthesize perspectives — skills essential for solving the “wicked problems” of our time. One of his favorite quotes, from Horace Mann, is a call to action: “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.” For Dr. Glotzbach, college is a privilege held by a small percentage of the global population, and with that privilege comes a responsibility to contribute to the greater good. Relationships Over Transactions Dr. Glotzbach warns against treating college as an “educational ATM,” where you deposit tuition and withdraw a diploma. That transactional mindset robs you of the deeper value of the experience. College is about relationships — with people, with ideas, and with the skills you are developing. Friendships formed during college often become lifelong connections. These relationships — your first as an independent adult — are a key part of the transformation that happens during these years. Learning in the Age of AI Today's students must also navigate the opportunities and challenges of new technologies, including AI. While AI can be a powerful tool, relying on it too heavily during your studies can short-circuit the development of critical thinking and analytical skills. Dr. Glotzbach stresses the importance of reading and thinking critically — whether the material was written by a human 200 years ago or generated by AI yesterday. Advice for Students and Parents For students: approach college as a unique opportunity for growth. Be open to new ideas, seek out mentors, engage in campus life, and treat every class, project, and relationship as a chance to find meaning. For parents: remember that your child's education is not only about employment prospects but also about becoming a thoughtful, engaged, and adaptable human being. Get the Book Embrace Your Freedom: Winning Strategies to Succeed in College and in Life is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, and other major booksellers, as well as through Dr. Glotzbach's website: www.philipglotzbach.com. Whether you're a student, parent, educator, or simply someone who values lifelong learning, this book offers a thoughtful, inspiring, and practical guide to making the most of one of life's most important chapters.  Connect with me: Website: www.simonassociates.net Email: info@simonassociates.net Books:  Learn more about our books here: Rethink: Smashing the Myths of Women in Business Women Mean Business: Over 500 Insights from Extraordinary Leaders to Spark Your Success On the Brink: A Fresh Lens to Take Your Business to New Heights Listen + Subscribe: Available wherever you get your podcasts—Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, YouTube, and more.

In this Special Episode of Honoring the Journey, Leslie invites her sister (and bestie) Marie to join her and they discuss growing up in fundamentalism, rapture trauma, deconstruction and how they now see God today. This is a special episode because Marie is probably the only person Leslie had to talk to during her deconstruction journey before going public. They have been through a lot together, and have remained close through it all!Topics of Interest:Leslie and her sister Marie, discuss their experiences growing up with "rapture anxiety" in a fundamentalist Christian environment.They describe the strict religious upbringing, including legalistic rules and the constant fear of the rapture.The conversation covers the origins and theology of the rapture, including its biblical roots and how it became popular in modern American Christianity.Both hosts reflect on the psychological and emotional impact of rapture teachings, including anxiety, fear, and trauma that persisted into adulthood.They discuss the influence of rapture-themed movies and media, such as "A Thief in the Night," and the song "I Wish We'd All Been Ready," on their beliefs and fears.Marie recounts a personal story of panic and fear during a rapture prediction, highlighting the real-life effects of this doctrine.The episode includes listener voicemails sharing similar experiences of rapture trauma and anxiety.The hosts critique the use of fear and indoctrination in religious teaching, emphasizing the difference between reverence and terror.They discuss their journeys of deconstruction, moving away from fear-based beliefs toward a more loving, inclusive, and less anxious spirituality.The conversation touches on the challenges of changing beliefs, the reactions of family and community, and the importance of self-worth and unconditional love.The episode ends with encouragement to question fear-based doctrines, embrace change, and focus on love and acceptance. Honoring the Journey is hosted, produced and edited by Leslie Nease and the artwork for the show is also created by Leslie Nease.Want to get updates/announcements and a FREE Deconstruction Journaling Prompt PDF?

For the deductionist, curiosity isn't just a nice trait, it's the engine of learning, the driver of observation, and the spark of critical thinking. Without it, conversations stay shallow, patterns go unnoticed, and our ability to reason is dulled. Research (Kross et al., 2013) shows that modern conversations often leave us less satisfied, less heard, and less engaged. The antidote? Curiosity. As Leslie (2014) argues, curiosity is one of the most underrated tools for deeper understanding. When applied through a deductionist lens, curiosity turns everyday exchanges into opportunities to gather data, test assumptions, and refine your thinking. In this episode of The Deductionist Podcast, we'll explore: How curiosity fuels sharper observation and better questions. Why curiosity is essential to learning and behavioural intelligence. How to move beyond small talk and into meaningful deduction. The role of curiosity in critical thinking and avoiding cognitive bias.

Journey into the explosive movement challenging everything we thought we knew about our world. Through unprecedented access to the Flat Earth community's leading minds and private gatherings, we expose why thousands of people are rejecting centuries of scientific consensus. From high-powered laser experiments to Antarctic ice wall theories, discover how a growing global movement is building evidence for their revolutionary worldview. This episode reveals the hidden NASA conspiracies, the sophisticated experiments being conducted by citizen researchers, and the profound questions about reality itself that have turned ordinary people into passionate truth-seekers challenging the globe model.

Scholars, journalists and even some politicians often warn about the lack of critical thinking in contemporary public and private life. Alex Edmans picks up that alarm and warns that we’re regularly exploited by those who would use our own sloppy thinking and unconscious biases to mislead us. Edmans is a professor of finance at London Business School. His research interests are in corporate finance, responsible business and behavioral finance. He serves in leadership roles for the American Finance Association, Western Finance Association, Financial Management Association, British Academy and the Academy of the Social Sciences. He has spoken at economic forums, testified in the United Kingdom Parliament and been interviewed by many major news networks. He has won 28 teaching awards, was featured in “Thinkers50 Radar” and was named professor of the year by Poets & Quants in 2021. His latest book, “May Contain Lies: How Stories, Statistics, and Studies Exploit our Biases- And What We Can Do About It,” was published in 2024. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AI isn't killing design. It's reminding us what design really is. In this episode, we talk about the illusion of control, why designers often feel powerless, and how the real work has always been about making meaning and managing systems, not just making screens.What if AI isn't changing design at all, but finally showing us what design has really been about this whole time?It's tempting to think AI is rewriting the rules of design. But maybe the truth is simpler: it's exposing what design was always about.In this conversation with Dennis Lenard, founder of Creative Navy, we explore how AI is pushing designers to confront the illusion of control, the limits of pixel pushing, and the bigger role of meaning-making. Dennis brings over 20 years of experience working in UX, teaching design, and writing on interface design for high-stakes industries like healthcare. His perspective? The anxieties we're feeling aren't new; they're just harder to ignore now.We cover why prioritization matters more than production, why empathy should extend to your team as much as your users, and how to reframe design as managing the system, not just the interface. If you've ever felt like AI is destabilizing your role, this episode will help you see it as a mirror, not a threat.Topics:• 04:16 – The Impact of AI on Design• 08:11 – Navigating Control and Anxiety in Design• 15:13 – Redefining Design Roles and Responsibilities• 31:44 – Building Relationships and Empathy in Teams• 37:21 – Leveraging AI for Designer's Advantage• 38:10 – The Double Diamond Model in Design• 38:27 – The Importance of Designing the Right Thing• 38:36 – AI's Role in Design and Prioritization• 40:29 – Human Empathy vs. AI in User Experience• 42:27 – The Impact of Design in High-Stakes Industries• 43:32 – Adapting Design Processes for Different Industries• 44:30 – The Importance of Research and Critical Thinking• 47:16 – Navigating Ambiguity and Focusing on Controllable Elements• 47:50 – Practical Advice for Designers• 58:07 – The Value of Attention and Continuous ImprovementHelpful Links:• Connect with Dennis on LinkedIn—Thanks for listening!

#244 Critical Thinking for Everyone! | Critical Thinking Coaching | August 21, 2025 by Forward Radio

How can we make better decisions in an era defined by distraction, cognitive bias, and the increasing use of artificial intelligence? In the second instalment of this two-part series, Aurecon’s Todd Battley continues his thought-provoking conversation with Professor Jason Mattingley from the Queensland Brain Institute.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when your dream date is just a bunch of ones and zeros? A 76-year-old man literally packed a suitcase to meet his chatbot “girlfriend.” Spoiler: she wasn't real, and he didn't make it. Meanwhile, Meta keeps pumping out digital “companions” designed to hook you like a Vegas slot machine, with about as much concern for your safety. In this episode, we unpack: Why AI “soulmates” are basically cigarettes with Wi-Fi How to spot the lies before you book a flight to meet one The antidote for drowning in digital delusion (hint: it's not another app) Hit play now — before your chatbot convinces you it loves you back. Topics Discussed: Reuters story of a man who died chasing fake love. Meta's “safety optional” AI design. Why lonely brains fall hardest for digital soulmates. The South Park take on needy AI sidekicks. Is this natural selection or just bad coding? Cigarettes vs. chatbots: which kills slower? Deep fakes and why your boss on Zoom might be an avatar. Critical thinking as your last line of defense. Why unplugging is the new therapy. Why reality still beats digital dopamine (barely). ---- MORE FROM Brobots: Connect with us on Threads, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok Subscribe to Brobots on Youtube Join our community in the Brobots Facebook group ---- LINKS TO OUR PARTNERS: Take control of how you'd like to feel with Apollo Neuro Explore the many benefits of cold therapy for your body with Nurecover Muse's Brain Sensing Headbands Improve Your Meditation Practice.

What is misinformation? How does it differ from disinformation or just plain ‘ole propaganda? How do we protect ourselves from people with nefarious intentions using all of these things to affect our thoughts, feelings, and behavior?

In this special episode of the HoCoSo CONVERSATION, hosted by Jay Humphries, the conversation revolves around a deep and reflective dialogue initially inspired by an interaction with an AI named Echo through ChatGPT. Jay brings this conversation to his logotherapy coach and philosopher, Dr. Andrea Schreiber, to further unpack themes around freedom of speech, democracy, and the implications of new laws, particularly the UK's Online Safety Act. The dialogue explores the erosion of personal agency, the dangers of mass surveillance, biometric data, and the potential risks of technological advancements on civil liberties. The discussion also delves into the distrust in political systems, the impact of consumerism, and the broader philosophical implications of living in a highly controlled and monitored society. Through this thoughtful exchange, the aim is to model open dialogue and encourage critical thinking and questioning in an era of increasing digital control and political polarization.Read more: Q&A Conversation: On Democracy, Meaning and the Road We're OnFollow us on Instagram: @hocosoconversation and Linkedin: HoCoSo Conversation

Throughout my career as a sociologist, I have come to the conclusion that people find sociologists annoying on a deeply personal level. Anthropologists have great stories about travelling to exotic locations. People seem to really appreciate psychology because they think it helps them to better understand why people do the things they do. Historians, while might be boring with their details and minutiae of past events, at least have something to help carry a conversation at a party. Perhaps the only other truly annoying academic profession are philosophers, but they may spend more time talking to themselves than other people. What makes sociologists annoying, in my opinion as a sociologist, is that we think critically all the time about everything. It is not just how we are trained; it is how we are wired. You could show a sociologist a picture of puppies playing in a field, and the sociologist would talk about the perils of puppy mills. You could assure the sociologist that these are from a rescue, and the sociologist would talk about there is a lack of oversight and regulation of these organizations and the emotional manipulation of Sarah McLachlan commercials. You could assure the sociologist that this in fact is a wonderful animal rescue, and the sociologist will talk about how veterinary services in the United States cost more than in other parts of the world, and then launch into a discussion of the lack of healthcare overall. We are exhausting. But the critical thinking element is nevertheless important, because through critical thinking and critical analysis, progress and improvements can be made. The person who joins me today on Experience by Design is neither a sociologist nor annoying, but is a critical thinker and thought leader in his field. Andrew Carothers has had a long career in customer experience, and has some perspectives to share about its past, present, and future. In his opinion, customer experience is in its teenage years, a kind of awkward adolescence where it is trying to find its identity. In finding its way, it also has to find ways to define its importance and relevance to organizational success and culture. We talk about the need for CX to go beyond the metrics it has, but also find other metrics that matter. Andrew discusses the need to put CX more centrally into strategy. We also explore the implications of artificial intelligence for customer experience as a feature and a profession. Andrew emphasizes that good enough is often good enough, especially if that is all that customers want. Finally, we explore how keeping customers is easier than getting customers, and that CX can provide the path to do so, but only if it continues to grow up. Andrew Carothers LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-carothers/

Jackson, the Dallas-based filmmaker and small business owner, has made a habit of turning the camera on tough questions. He is also impervious to the effects of either praise or criticism, so his films are decidedly absent the audience preference gene.As an independent documentarian, Jackson is a subject matter expert when it comes to showing his audiences how America's social constructs sausage is made… and he's not afraid of slaughtering a few sacred cows in the process. His film work isn't just about looking back at history and stating the obvious. They're about exposing the little-known connective tissue between yesterday's ill-gotten lessons and today's sobering realities, chronicling how the past's echoes either sound the alarms to course correct or beckon a harkening back to this country's long-forgotten (or never discovered) buried treasure.Brandon and Daren join Chad for a great conversation on the feux history we're all familiar with and the truth that will be sure to trigger some cognitive dissonance. Support the showHosts: Brandon and Daren Smith Learn of Brandon's Church Planting CallPatreon: www.patreon.com/blackandblurredPaypal: https://paypal.me/blackandblurredYouTube: Black and Blurred PodcastIG: @BlackandBlurredPodcastX: @Blurred_Podcast

From Occupy Wall Street to the Tea Party, real dialogue has been drowned out by division. Here's why questioning, debating, and thinking for yourself are skills worth reviving—and how AI should be used as a tool for inquiry, not a substitute for your own mind.

In today's episode of Truth Wanted, Kelley Laughlin and Eli Slack, work through indoctrination before relaxing into some ghost encountering sleep paralysis. Just try to “free will” yourself out of that state!Adrian, a believer in CA, uses a concordance to support claims of prophecies that have been fulfilled such as the book of Zechariah mentioning piercing. How can you tell the difference between a narrative and a prophecy? How do we know this reference point can be used to get to the truth when there is the potential of bias? How do you prove that something in the Old Testament points to Jesus? Remember, the Bible is not proof of anything; it is just a series of books that make a bunch of claims. It is important to dig deep to discover why and when you started to believe these things. If you were born in India or Arabia, would you still be a Christian? Question the evidence of your beliefs and look for other sources for Christianity besides the Bible. The same standards used to determine if other religious scriptures are real need to be applied to the Bible. Why would you settle for anything less than 100% of prayers being answered? Cynthia in IL, describes an encounter with a ghost while experiencing sleep paralysis in an old dormitory that was thought to be haunted. How do you think perception shaped this experience? Looking back at things with skepticism can be an excellent tool for these things. The brain can do some freaky things! Stephen in Australia asks about free will and rather we truly have it. Where do you think decision making takes place, within the self or outside of the self? You can do what you want, but you can't will what you want. There is a difference between free choice and free will. Backup host, Jon the Skeptic, joins us to share the question of the week: What is the possible fallout of Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding?

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop talks with Zachary Cote, Executive Director of Thinking Nation, about how history education can shape citizens who think critically rather than simply memorize facts. They explore the role of memory, the ethics of curation in a decentralized media landscape, and the need to rebuild trust in institutions through humility, collaboration, and historical thinking. Zachary shares insights from his teaching experience and emphasizes intellectual humility as essential for civic life and learning in the age of AI. You can learn more about his work at thinkingnation.org and follow @Thinking_Nation on social media.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 – Zachary introduces Thinking Nation's mission to foster critical thinking in history education, distinguishing memory from deeper historical discipline.05:00 – They unpack the complexity of memory, collective narratives, and how individuals curate their own realities, especially in a decentralized media landscape.10:00 – Zachary explains why epistemology and methodology matter more than static facts, and how ethical curation can shape flourishing societies.15:00 – Discussion turns to how history is often used for cultural arguments, and the need to reframe it as a tool for understanding rather than judgment.20:00 – They explore AI in education, contrasting it as tool vs. crutch, and warning about students' lack of question-asking skills.25:00 – The conversation shifts to authority, institutions, and tradition as “democracy extended to the dead.”30:00 – Stewart and Zachary reflect on rebuilding trust through honesty, humility, collaboration, and asking better questions.35:00 – They consider the decentralizing effects of technology and the urgency of restoring shared principles.40:00 – Zachary emphasizes contextualization, empathy, and significance as historical thinking skills rooted in humility.45:00 – They close on the challenge of writing and contributing meaningfully through questions and confident, honest articulation.Key InsightsZachary Cote argues that history education should move beyond memorization and focus on cultivating thinking citizens. He reframes history as a discipline of inquiry, where the past is the material through which students develop critical, ethical reasoning.The concept of memory is central to understanding history. Zachary highlights that we all remember differently based on our environment and identity, which complicates any attempt at a single, unified national narrative. This complexity invites us to focus on shared methodologies rather than consensus on content.In an age of media fragmentation and curated realities, Zachary emphasizes the importance of equipping students with epistemological tools to evaluate and contextualize information ethically, rather than reinforcing echo chambers or binary ideologies.The conversation calls out the educational system's obsession with data and convenient assessment, arguing that what matters most—like humility, critical thinking, and civic understanding—is often left out because it's harder to measure.Zachary sees AI as a powerful tool that, if used well, could help assess deeper thinking skills. But he warns that without training in asking good questions, students may treat AI like a gospel rather than a starting point for inquiry.Authority and tradition, often dismissed in a culture obsessed with novelty, are reframed by Zachary as essential democratic tools. Citing Chesterton, he argues that tradition is “democracy extended to the dead,” reminding us that collective wisdom includes voices from the past.Humility emerges as a recurring theme—not just spiritual or social humility, but intellectual humility. Through historical thinking skills like contextualization, empathy, and significance, students can learn to approach the past (and the present) with curiosity rather than certainty, making room for deeper civic engagement.

Send us a textMichael Dunn, known as the man behind Theoryofknowledge.net is our guest on this first episode of our 5th season. Michael grew the most popular TOK website on the internet, organically, from a wish to share what he was doing in his own classroom in Peru. It eventually became what it is today, a highly respected, and much used, resource for teachers around the world. You'll find teachers in all subjects using these materials to teach critical thinking no matter the age of their students. Michael's dream is to have these materials used outside the IB context because the lessons to be learned span every educational system and bring lifelong value to those who experience this kind of teaching and learning. I hope you are inspired by Michael's interview to explore the resources linked below. Many people subscribe to his free monthly newsletter and then checkout the mini-lesson samples to get ideas and to begin their TOK journey. Others become members to access the 20 mini-lessons posted each month and the classroom-ready TOK courses. Michael has now added options for the non-DP teacher in each mini-lesson. Main pageMembershipMatt Warren's article (referenced in the podcast)   Email IB Matters: IBMatters@mnibschools.orgTwitter @MattersIBIB Matters websiteMN Association of IB World Schools (MNIB) websiteDonate to IB Matters Podcast: Education by Design with host Phil Evans IB Matters T-shirts (and other MNIB clothing) To appear on the podcast or if you would like to sponsor the podcast, please contact us at the email above.

Ralph and Lauren take a bold look at a rising issue in modern marketing teams: is AI making your team dumber? Drawing from real-world agency experience, Lauren shares a transparent case study from her own business where AI tools like ChatGPT and Jasper created an illusion of productivity but resulted in lackluster, surface-level insights. The discussion tackles how over-reliance on AI can quietly erode critical thinking, replacing strategic interpretation with generic output that “feels” complete but misses true business impact. You'll learn why being “human in the loop” matters, how to train your team to use AI as a collaborator—not a crutch—and why tools should ask better questions instead of just giving faster answers. This episode is a must-listen for any marketing leader, CMO, or founder using AI to scale without sacrificing intelligence, creativity, and judgment.Chapters:00:00:00 - Kickoff & A Powerful Shoutout to Steve Sims 00:02:21 - AI in Marketing: Game-Changer or Risk? 00:04:26 - When AI Fails: A Shocking Case Study 00:08:06 - Critical Thinking vs AI: Who Wins? 00:13:24 - Smart Fixes & What's Next for Teams 00:25:52 - Final Takeaways & Must-Have ResourcesLINKS AND RESOURCES:Get Your Marketing Performance IndicatorsTM Checklist Now!Get Your nCAC Calculator Now!Get Your nCAC Calculator Now!Make Data Driven Marketing Decisions with ConfidenceThe AI-Driven Leader: Harnessing AI to Make Faster, Smarter DecisionsGo for Stupid: The Art of Achieving Ridiculous GoalsTier 11 JobsPerpetual Traffic on YouTubeTiereleven.comMongoose MediaPerpetual Traffic SurveyPerpetual Traffic WebsiteFollow Perpetual Traffic on TwitterConnect with Lauren on Instagram and Connect with Ralph on LinkedInThanks so much for joining us this week.
