We've talked a lot about AI this season, but this week we're discussing its place in Education with one of our own, Ari Moreland. Artificial Intelligence is reshaping classrooms across the country. From the White House to the schoolhouse, a new challenge is encouraging schools and organizations to embrace AI. And Indiana has updated graduation requirements that now emphasize STEM skills.We'll also review how tech giants like Google are looking to dominate the space with tools like NotebookLM, AI-powered features in Google Classroom, and new capabilities coming straight to Chromebooks. But is AI truly enhancing education, or is it taking away from the learning process? How do we draw the line between AI as a helpful study partner and AI as a shortcut? Join us as we unpack what's happening, what it means for students, parents, and teachers, and where AI could take education next.

In this week's episode of Lisa's Corner, Lisa gets real about long-term dieting and the delicate balance between structure and freedom. After chatting with members who've been tracking for decades, she explores an honest question many of us face: when does a helpful tool like tracking become a crutch that keeps us from trusting ourselves? Lisa dives into how diet culture can unintentionally create dependency, why maintenance often feels confusing, and what it really takes to move from constant counting to confident, mindful living.With practical tips (and a few fun experiments) for retraining your eyes and brain to recognize portions, this conversation will help you break free from fear-based tracking and step into true accountability and self-trust. Whether you've been tracking for months or years, this episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to feel calm, capable, and in control around food, no measuring required.
You've probably seen it all over social media GLP's, and maybe even wondered if a GLP-1 medication could be the answer you've been looking for. But here's the thing: while these meds can be powerful tools, they're not magic, and they're definitely not meant to replace the habits that actually create lasting change. In this episode, we're unpacking what GLP-1s really are, who they were designed for, and how to protect your health if you choose to use one. Here's what we're diving into: What GLP-1s are and how they actually work in your body The medical conditions they were intended to treat (and what they don't fix) The risks of using them as a shortcut — including the yo-yo cycle of rapid loss and regain Why protecting your muscle with protein + resistance training is non-negotiable How to use a “quieter appetite” season as a reset, not a bypass The questions to ask yourself before deciding if this tool is right for you If you've been curious about GLP-1s, this episode will give you clarity, context, and the honest truth about what they can — and can't — do for your body and your goals.

Hi Loyal Readers. Thank you for opening this week's issue of Article Club.Today's issue is dedicated to a great conversation I had with Piers Gelly, author of this month's featured article, “What Happened When I Tried to Replace Myself with ChatGPT in My English Classroom.” The conversation was triply great because Prof. Gelly, who teaches at the University of Virginia, invited two of his students featured in the essay — Camille Villalobos and Max Goldberg — to join us.The result is a thought-provoking discussion about college students' perspectives on artificial intelligence, particularly when a curious professor engages them genuinely (rather than complaining, banning the use of AI, sticking their head in the sand, and secretly wishing we could turn back time to the Golden Age of Bluebooks).I hope that you'll read the article, listen to the interview, and join our discussion on Sunday, Sept. 28, 2:00 - 3:30 pm PT. We'll meet on Zoom, say hi, and then dive deep into the article. You can sign up below; it'd be great to have you there.I don't want to give too much away, because I want you to listen to the conversation, but I must share what I appreciated most. It was how thoughtfully Cam and Max talked about their experiences taking Prof. Gelly's class, as well as how their points of view on artificial intelligence changed along the way.Not only are Cam and Max brilliant, but what's also abundantly clear is that Prof. Gelly cares deeply about his students. They're at the center of his essay. You'll get a similar sense when you listen to the interview. Rather than making grandiose philosophical conclusions about the state of artificial intelligence in education, Prof. Gelly is curious, vulnerable, and dedicated to listening to his students' views, as well as pushing them.When you engage your students — as Prof. Gelly does — you gain nuance. For example, at the beginning of the class, Cam had been a liberal user of ChatGPT. By the end, she maligned AI as a “crutch” and vowed never to use it again. And her thinking has shifted even more, as you'll hear in the interview.On the other hand, Max did not leave the class with the same perspective as Cam. He sees valid uses for ChatGPT. But his experience shifted his sentiments as well. Here he shares what worries him: I would say the thing that concerns me most is people who use [AI] for everything. And I don't just mean like coursework, but things like planning their schedules and asking it questions and having it do, like, basic, basic problems. I think that people need to be able to do some of that on their own.I hope you enjoy the interview. Once again, huge appreciation to Prof. Gelly, Cam, and Max for generously saying yes to Article Club.An invitation to our discussion on September 28I warmly invite you to participate in our discussion on Sunday, September 28, 2:00 - 3:30 pm PT. We'll meet on Zoom. You can sign up below, it's free.Thank you for reading and listening to this week's issue. Hope you liked it.

Crutch continues the retrospective - COVID through Chief and Mr Browning moving to Texas
Join Jeff Malec for a special solo "6-pack" episode where he tackles six topics on his mind during the summer podcast break. Jeff starts by examining the challenging trend following drawdown that's been plaguing the markets, sharing insights from his 25 years in the space and why this one feels different. He pays tribute to Waldo Wiens, the legendary Kansas farmer who backed dozens of CTAs with hundreds of millions and helped shape the managed futures industry. Reflecting on Hurricane Katrina's 20th anniversary, Jeff explores the storm's market lessons and marvels at how quant models are being used to save lives in weather forecasting. He dives into AI's growing role in finance and education, questioning whether it's becoming a crutch rather than a multiplier and pondering its potential economic implications. Jeff makes the case for smart leverage as a diversification tool, challenging common investor misconceptions about risk management. The episode wraps up with his personal rants on everything from wind turbines (not windmills!) to highway etiquette. No guest, no agenda - just Jeff's unfiltered thoughts on markets, life, and everything in between.Chapters:00:00-01:04=Intro01:05-05:03=The Nasty Trend Drawdown05:04-08:24=Remembering Waldo Wiens08:25-13:49=Hurricane Katrina at 2013:50-17:20=AI: Multiplier or Crutch?17:21-20:50=Smart Leverage vs. Toxic Leverage20:51-24:08=Quick RantsSuper Storms, Mathematical Modeling, and Hurricane Hunting with Dr. Jeff Masters on The DerivativeDon't forget to subscribe toThe Derivative, follow us on Twitter at@rcmAlts and our host Jeff at@AttainCap2, orLinkedIn , andFacebook, andsign-up for our blog digest.Disclaimer: This podcast is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as legal, business, or tax advice.

For most of her life, Jiyoung An believed her struggles came down to laziness or lack of effort.

✦ When City Lights Collective co-host Jon Goode was told that High Bias is a good thing, he wasn't entirely sure what that meant. So, he decided to go to Block and Drum on a Wednesday night to find out for himself. Created by STLNDRMS, High Bias is a deep listening experience. Each week, they explore the highest level of music curation in a room designed for true fidelity. A fully treated space, an uncompromising sound system, and a focused audience. No distractions, just music presented with intention. ✦ WABE arts reporter Summer Evans brings us a story about the Atlanta creative writing organization “Lost in the Letters,” which recently announced they are opening a studio in Candler Park. What began in 2012 as a quarterly reading and workshop series, has become the annual Letters Festival, which brings together literary enthusiasts for workshops, nightly readings, and live events. Now, the organization has found a permanent space to bring accessible programs and resources to people seeking creative writing opportunities. ✦ Songwriter, producer, and studio artist K Michelle Dubois has been making music in Atlanta for over three decades, most recently as a solo act but previously with bands such as Ultrababyfat and Luigi. Dubois’s newest album, “Infinity Sandwich,” drops this Friday, and she’ll celebrate with a release party at the EARL on Saturday. City Lights Collective co-host Kim Drobes recently caught up with Dubois to discuss the new album, her creative process, and how she helped us launch The City Lights Collective with a bang. Did we mention Dubois wrote our new theme music? ✦ Luenell, an entertainment veteran known to her fans as "The Original Bad Girl of Comedy," has been making audiences laugh for nearly three decades with her appearances onstage, as well as in TV shows like "Hacks," and the upcoming Tracey Morgan sitcom, "Crutch." Luenell performs at City Winery August 1st through 3rd, and she recently caught up with WABE reporter Kenny Murray to discuss her sharp wit, high tone, and long nails. ✦ Atlanta’s vibrant world of cocktails and zero proof beverages thrives in our bars and restaurants as well as our local distilleries and non-alcoholic bottle shops.

That's not just fatigue—it's central nervous system burnout.I know because I lived it. My morning ritual of coffee became a pot-a-day necessity just to function at a basic level. I was constantly wired yet paradoxically exhausted—what functional health practitioners call the "wired and tired" phenomenon. This wasn't sustainable energy; it was borrowed energy with compounding interest.The science is clear: caffeine triggers stress hormones (cortisol and adrenaline) while blocking adenosine, your natural sleep signal. This creates a vicious cycle—artificial energy spikes, poor sleep, depleted natural energy, and an increasing dependency on caffeine. Eventually, your body's natural rhythm becomes completely inverted.The good news? Your energy system can be rebuilt. Through functional lab testing that reveals your actual cortisol patterns, strategic sleep optimization, adrenal support with adaptogens like ashwagandha and rhodiola, and circadian anchoring practices like morning sunlight exposure, you can break free from caffeine dependency without giving up coffee entirely.This episode walks you through the five telltale signs of caffeine dependency, explains the science of what's happening to your nervous system, and provides a practical three-step framework for rebuilding sustainable energy. Because true high performance isn't about pushing harder—it's about creating balance that allows your natural vitality to flourish.Ready to stop borrowing tomorrow's energy to get through today?

In this episode, I answer a question from a mom navigating intense bedtime struggles with her highly anxious daughter. When emotions escalate and her child feels panicked or overwhelmed, she questions whether enforcing boundaries might seem insensitive. I break down what's really going on—how anxiety drives a need for control—and why bedtime often becomes the battleground. Using child-centered strategies, I walk through how to respond in ways that honor both the child's emotions and the parent's need for structure, sleep, and sanity. I explain how to set compassionate boundaries, return responsibility, and use empowering choices to build your child's resilience and coping skills—without fueling the cycle of dependence.

"How are you using AI in med school?" That's the question Dave posed to his co-hosts this week. Near-M3s Fallon Jung and Amanda Litka and almost-PA3 Julie Vuong discuss AI-fueled study sessions, and Dave points out a Google tool that turns docs into knowledge. They talk about what helps, what haunts, and what might accidentally erase their clinical instincts. Meanwhile, Fallon admits to looking to a robot to plan a bachelorette party. Amanda wants to ditch the white coat. And strong mints and clementines are the secret to surviving 3AM bowel resections. Also on the docket: what they've learned in their first few months seeing patients, OB night shift scaries, and which specialist they'd rather be stranded on an island with.

Are you struggling with how to stop using alcohol as a crutch when it's all you've ever known for comfort, confidence, or escape? When alcohol becomes the go-to for numbing pain, soothing nerves, or simply making it through the day, letting it go can feel like losing a lifeline. Mark leaned on alcohol to suppress decades of emotional trauma and mask neurodivergent traits that made emotional expression difficult. Glenn turned to beer as a buffer against social anxiety and the constant pressure to fit in, using it to quiet a mind that never stopped spinning. In this episode, Coaches Hayley and Ruby help both men uncover the deeper beliefs that shaped their drinking behaviors—and explore how discovering healthier emotional tools can lead not just to freedom from alcohol, but to a more grounded, present, and emotionally connected life. In Mark's session: Exploring childhood trauma and emotional suppression The connection between neurodiversity and alcohol reliance Why alcohol became a long-term emotional safety blanket How to stop using alcohol as a crutch and find new emotional tools Body scan practices to access suppressed feelings Visualization and the emotion wheel as tools for emotional insight The difference between masking emotions vs. processing them Recognizing progress even when it doesn't look like expected healing Finding alternative ways to self-soothe and cope and more… In Glenn's session: Growing up in a home where alcohol was a symbol of adulthood Using beer to manage social anxiety and introversion The rise in drinking during isolation and how it became a daily habit How to stop using alcohol as a crutch for connection and calm The emotional highs and lows of early alcohol-free living Discovering joy in ordinary moments and accepting melancholy Letting go of perfection in mindfulness and meditation Rewriting social rules and embracing introversion Building confidence through small steps and self-acceptance and other topics… Hayley Scherders is a certified TNM Coach with training from the Canadian Addiction and Mental Health Association.

In this deep and often humorous debate, Barry Loewer of Rutgers and Eddy Chen of UC San Diego clash over the very nature of physical reality. Are the laws of nature real, mind independent constraints that shape what's possible or are they human made descriptions of observed patterns? Together they explore metaphysics, causation, probability, and whether the universe is truly ruled by anything at all. A must watch for anyone questioning the foundations of science itself.
