Podcasts about Darin

In this special compilation episode, Darin curates some of the most powerful conversations ever featured on the SuperLife Podcast, all centered around one core truth: real transformation comes from small, consistent habits, not massive overnight change. Drawing from neuroscience, trauma recovery, behavior change, breathwork, mindset training, and lived experience, this episode dismantles the myth of willpower and replaces it with something far more effective: environmental design, repetition, and self-awareness. From world-renowned researchers to survivors, artists, and healers, each voice reinforces the same message: habits are the infrastructure of a super life.     What You'll Learn Why chasing "quantum leaps" keeps people stuck How small, boring steps outperform dramatic change The science behind habit formation and behavior loops Why willpower fails and what works instead How environment shapes behavior before conscious choice Why micro-movements can save a life How trauma healing requires baby steps, not overwhelm The role of breathwork in rewiring the nervous system How repetition builds new neural pathways Why discipline creates freedom, not restriction How to reprogram negative self-talk into an inner ally Why curiosity beats judgment in long-term growth How mindset can be gamified to support progress The "good, better, best" framework for sustainable habits Why consistency matters more than recognition     Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife and the philosophy of sovereignty 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality and frequency-enhanced wellness 00:02:03 – Why the obsession with overnight success is a trap 00:02:45 – The pattern Darin noticed across hundreds of guests 00:03:03 – Introducing the ultimate habits compilation 00:04:41 – Dr. Laurie Santos on the "arrival fallacy" and why circumstances don't create happiness 00:09:35 – Darin Olien (Solo): Why willpower is the wrong engine & designing your environment 00:13:54 – Chloe Temtchine: Rebuilding life from death's door through micro-movements 00:18:16 – Sponsor: Shakeology and foundational nutrition 00:21:52 – Dr. Aimie Apigian: Why trauma healing requires "baby steps" for the nervous system 00:27:35 – Darin Olien (Solo): Discipline as a container for freedom & the "One Thing" strategy 00:32:55 – Robyn O'Brien: The year-long discipline of rewiring your inner voice 00:41:07 – Sponsor: SuperLife Patreon community 00:42:39 – Juergen 'Jules' Horn: The math of breathwork (7.5 hours to rewire the nervous system) 00:44:57 – RedFoo: Gamifying your mindset with the "plus one" equation 00:48:41 – Alysa Conger: Intuition is a muscle built through reps (just like pushups) 00:50:23 – Darin Olien (Solo): The "Good, Better, Best" framework for reducing toxins 00:55:16 – Sheila Morovati: How asking one simple question can spark a global movement 00:56:47 – Jeff Turner: Relentless consistency and showing up when no one is watching 01:05:12 – Dr. Aly Cohen: The "4 A's" Framework (Assess, Avoid, Add, Allow) for non-toxic living 01:17:55 – Jennifer Cohen: The "Spit and Catch" story & why boredom breeds resourcefulness 01:32:04 – Johnny Graham: Overcoming fear of the future by asking "What am I doing right now?" 01:34:07 – Conclusion: We are not victims—you have agency over your biology and destiny 01:35:24 – Upcoming projects: Roadmap to Happiness & closing thoughts     Thank You to Our Sponsors Shakeology: Get 15% off with code SUPERLIFE at Shakeology.com.

Greg and Darin discuss potential ideas that they want to implement to help elevate the masonic experience for membership as they bring in new members from a lodge that is consolidating with theirs.

In this special solo episode, Darin shares a deeply personal announcement years in the making. After more than two and a half years of traveling, filming, listening, and immersing himself in cultures and conversations around the world, Darin officially invites listeners into a living project and movement: The Roadmap to Happiness. This upcoming series features powerful conversations with voices like Jason Momoa, Elijah Wood, Shailene Woodley, and Alec Baldwin, alongside everyday people across the globe, all exploring what truly creates contentment, connection, and hope. This episode is not about hacks or quick fixes. it's about what truly creates contentment, connection, and hope across cultures. From Sundance revelations to universal human needs, Darin lays out the foundational pillars that consistently show up wherever people are thriving, and why happiness isn't just personal, but collective.       What You'll Learn Why this episode is different from a typical solo deep dive The origin story of The Roadmap to Happiness What Sundance revealed about the power of this project Why happiness isn't about perfection or constant joy The universal human needs that create contentment across cultures Why generosity instantly shifts biology and emotion How purpose extends beyond job titles and income Why community and safety are non-negotiable for thriving The biological and emotional importance of access to nature How health creates energy, clarity, and resilience Why freedom and time matter more than productivity How hope counters fear and catastrophizing Why happiness is contagious and scalable The difference between a TV show and a living movement How small increases in happiness can change the world     Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife and the mission of sovereignty 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Mana Vitality and frequency-based wellness 00:02:04 – A different kind of episode: a special announcement 00:02:23 – Filming quietly for over two and a half years 00:02:55 – Revealing the project at Sundance 00:03:27 – Familiar faces and unfinished chapters 00:03:34 – The birth of The Roadmap to Happiness 00:04:16 – Sundance panel experience and audience reaction 00:04:44 – Bringing listeners inside the journey 00:05:16 – A question that stopped Darin cold 00:05:28 – What travel and immersion revealed about happiness 00:05:47 – Health, generosity, security, purpose, and balance 00:06:06 – Contentment vs constant joy 00:06:24 – Happiness as a global experience 00:06:50 – Safety, meaning, love, and connection 00:07:36 – Why most people are fundamentally good 00:07:42 – What connects every story across cultures 00:08:02 – Feeling seen, safe, and respected 00:08:40 – Pillars, not hacks, of happiness 00:09:08 – Subjective joy vs foundational needs 00:10:08 – Sponsor: Shakeology and nutrient density 00:13:12 – Generosity as a biological and emotional amplifier 00:14:13 – Purpose beyond titles and income 00:14:32 – Community and collective uplift 00:14:50 – Security and feeling protected 00:15:03 – Access to nature as a biological 00:15:34 – Health as energy, clarity, and resilience 00:16:07 – Freedom, time, and expression 00:16:30 – Happiness across cultures and belief systems 00:16:52 – Hope as the central message 00:17:18 – Why giving up hope gives up everything 00:17:26 – Creating a movement, not just a show 00:17:43 – Lessons from Down to Earth 00:18:06 – The ripple effect of collective happiness 00:18:35 – From TV series to living movement 00:18:52 – Invitation to join The Roadmap to Happiness 00:19:22 – Building community before the show airs 00:19:40 – An invitation to slow down and reconnect 00:19:49 – See you on the road 00:20:24 – Stop the scroll, start the roll 00:20:32 – Closing message and gratitude     Thank You to Our Sponsors Shakeology: Get 15% off with code SUPERLIFE at Shakeology.com.

#335: Observability tools have exploded in recent years, but most come with a familiar tradeoff: either pay steep cloud vendor markups or spend weeks building custom dashboards from scratch. Coroot takes a different path as a self-hosted, open source observability platform that prioritizes simplicity over flexibility. Using eBPF technology, Coroot automatically instruments applications without requiring code changes or complex configuration, delivering what co-founder Peter Zaitsev calls opinionated observability—a philosophy of less is more that aims to reduce cognitive overload rather than drowning users in endless metrics and dashboards. The conversation explores how Coroot differentiates itself in a crowded market with over a hundred observability vendors. Rather than competing head-to-head with cloud giants like Datadog and Dynatrace, Coroot focuses on developers who need answers fast without building elaborate monitoring systems. The platform combines systematic root cause analysis with AI-powered recommendations, using deterministic methods to trace how errors propagate through microservices before handing off to LLMs for actionable fix suggestions. Darin and Viktor dig into Coroot's business model with Peter, examining why the company chose Apache 2.0 licensing instead of more restrictive options, and how staying bootstrapped with minimal angel funding allows them to play the long game without pressure to chase every hype cycle.   Peter's contact information: X: https://x.com/PeterZaitsev Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/peterzaitsev.bsky.social LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterzaitsev/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

Giulia Enders ist promovierte Ärztin und Autorin – bekannt wurde sie vor 11 Jahren durch ihr Buch „Darm mit Charme“, das weltweit über 8 Millionen Mal verkauft wurde. Dieses Jahr ist ihr zweites Buch erschienen: “Organisch”. Darin will Giulia uns ein tieferes, fühlbareres Verständnis von unserem Körper und seinen Funktionen vermitteln. Ich wollte von ihr wissen, warum fühlbares Wissen so wichtig ist und warum wir das Kognitive, Bewusste in unserem Alltag oft überschätzen – und das Unbewusste unterschätzen. Wir sprechen über bewusste Langsamkeit und Langeweile, Schlaf als „Machtübergabe“, Glückseligkeit durch Riesenzwiebeln, das Belohnungssystem und wie Giulia es mit Sauerkirschen “austrickst”. Es geht um Achtsamkeit mit uns selbst und die Frage, warum unser Körper nicht gegen uns arbeitet, sondern uns beschützen will – und wie wir dem Respekt zollen können.

Der Autor Tom Kummer hat vor 25 Jahren einer der grössten Medienskandale im deutschsprachigen Raum ausgelöst. Zum SRF-Thema Fakt oder Fake fragen wir, was es braucht, damit erfundene Interviews geglaubt werden und wie sich eine vermeintliche Freiheit als Gefahr für den Journalismus entpuppte. Im März erscheint Tom Kummers neuer Roman: «Freiwürfe mit einem Diktator». Darin verarbeitet er die Zeit des nordkoreanischen Diktators Kim Jong Un in Berner Internaten zu einem Roman. Was literarisch gang und gäbe ist, anhand von Fakten zusammen mit Fiktion eine Geschichte zu erzählen, hat vor 25 Jahren als Journalismus einen grossen Medienskandal ausgelöst. Kummer veröffentlichte erfundene Interviews mit Stars in verschiedenen renommierten deutschsprachigen Magazinen. Während Jahren wurden diese gefälschten Interviews von Kummer gedruckt, geglaubt und gut verkauft. Welche Mechanismen spielten da? Was gilt auch für heutige Fakenews? Was ist anders? «Heute würde ich nicht mehr dafür plädieren, dass sich im Journalismus Realität mit Fiktion vermischen», bilanziert Kummer. Tom Kummer ist zum SRF-Thema Fakt oder Fake zu Gast im Tagesgespräch bei Karoline Arn.

In this solo episode, Darin dives into one of the most universal modern experiences: the feeling that time is accelerating. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, and lived experience, he breaks down why time doesn't actually speed up, but our experience of it radically changes. From the impact of digital distraction and divided attention to the way novelty, memory, aging, and even COVID reshaped our internal sense of time, this episode offers both clarity and agency. Darin shows how reclaiming attention, breaking monotony, and creating richer experiences can give us the feeling of having our time back.     What You'll Learn Why time measured by a clock is different from time experienced by the brain How attention, memory, and emotion construct subjective time Why boredom feels slow while flow states feel fast How novelty creates richer memories and longer-feeling lives The role of routine and monotony in time compression How digital technology fragments attention and erases memory Why social media scrolling makes time disappear without satisfaction How COVID disrupted temporal landmarks and distorted time perception Why time feels faster as we age The neuroscience behind memory density and perceived duration Whether time itself is an illusion or a constructed experience Practical ways to slow down your experience of time How breaking routine restores a sense of fullness and presence Why life is measured in experiences, not seconds     Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife and the exploration of time 00:00:32 – Sponsor: TheraSage and frequency-based healing 00:02:16 – Why time feels like it's speeding up 00:03:07 – Measured time vs experienced time 00:03:39 – Subjective time and how the brain constructs duration 00:04:38 – Boredom, flow, and why time feels slow or fast 00:05:20 – Memory density and time compression 00:05:42 – Clock models vs attention and memory models 00:06:13 – Novelty, travel, and rich experiences 00:06:34 – Routine, repetition, and unremarkable days 00:07:21 – Divided attention and disappearing moments 00:07:56 – The digital shift and fragmented attention post-2000 00:08:30 – Micro-stimulation and wasted time 00:09:12 – Why scrolling doesn't equal flow 00:09:46 – Social acceleration and modern life 00:10:25 – COVID as a global experiment in time perception 00:10:55 – Loss of temporal landmarks during lockdown 00:11:57 – Sponsor: Caldera Lab and clean skincare 00:13:39 – Research on monotony and time compression 00:14:40 – Aging, fewer neural events, and faster time 00:15:30 – Childhood vs adulthood time perception 00:16:22 – Is time real or constructed? 00:16:57 – Physics, relativity, and subjective experience 00:17:56 – How to slow down your experience of time 00:18:12 – Novelty, adventure, and memory creation 00:19:00 – Sustained attention vs multitasking 00:19:37 – Breaking monotony in daily life 00:20:06 – Reducing digital distraction 00:20:25 – Enjoying life as a scientific practice 00:20:49 – Time as memory, not seconds 00:21:08 – Gaining agency over your experience of life 00:21:29 – Creating a richer year through experience 00:22:10 – Curiosity, adventure, and Darin's fascination with time 00:23:27 – Closing thoughts and call to action     Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Caldera Lab: Experience the clinically proven benefits of Caldera Lab's clean skincare regimen and enjoy 20% off your order by visiting calderalab.com/darin and using code DARIN at checkout.     Join the SuperLife Community Get Darin's deeper wellness breakdowns — beyond social media restrictions: Weekly voice notes Ingredient deep dives Wellness challenges Energy + consciousness tools Community accountability Extended episodes Join for $7.49/month → https://patreon.com/darinolien     Find More from Darin Olien: Instagram: @darinolien Podcast: SuperLife Podcast Website: superlife.com Book: Fatal Conveniences     Key Takeaway Time isn't speeding up — your brain is compressing it.

#334: The debate over whether AI saves developers time misses a fundamental truth: coding was never the hardest part of software development. Writing code is mechanical work - the real challenges have always been understanding problems, designing solutions, communicating with stakeholders, and navigating organizational complexity. AI is now forcing a reckoning with this reality, pushing developers at every level to reconsider what skills actually matter. The traditional separation between architects who design and developers who implement is breaking down. AI enables a return to something like pair programming, where the person thinking through problems can now work alongside a fast executor without the old bottleneck of slow human typing. This shift means developers need stronger communication skills - the ability to explain technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders and translate business requirements into technical direction. For juniors, the opportunity is unprecedented: you can upskill faster than ever in the history of software, but only if you balance building things with actually understanding how they work. Darin and Viktor explore what this means for developers at every career stage, from juniors who should focus on fundamentals and end-to-end understanding, to seniors who are becoming more like editors and supervisors of AI-generated work. The developers who will thrive are those who combine real experience with a willingness to embrace change - and that combination has always been the winning formula.   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

In this episode of Irritable Dad Syndrome, the comedy podcast about dads, parenting, pop culture, and confidently bad opinions, Mike and Darin once again prove there are no guardrails. The conversation somehow starts with the disturbing question of whether anyone has ever seen a shaved raccoon and immediately escalates into much bigger concerns — including whether Mike would continue the podcast if Darin suddenly died. (Yes, it gets dark. Yes, it's funny.)From there, the episode takes a sharp turn into pop culture chaos as the group reveals which member is a surprisingly huge fan of K-Pop Demon Hunters, and debates how it's even possible to talk about Barry Manilow and Rage Against the Machine in the same conversation without causing structural damage to reality. Spoiler: they absolutely do it anyway.As always, the episode is packed with unfiltered dad humor, ridiculous hypotheticals, and the kind of conversations that only happen when friends have known each other far too long. If you love comedy podcasts about dads, parenting, music arguments, and pop culture whiplash, this episode delivers laughs from start to finish.Listen now and find out how Irritable Dad Syndrome continues to blur the line between nostalgia, modern culture, and complete nonsense.#ComedyPodcast #DadHumor #PopCultureComedy #ParentingPodcast #MusicDebates #AdultHumor #IrritableDadSyndromeSupport the showThank you so much for listening to this episode!

In den letzten Tagen habe ich aus der Community einige Rückmeldungen zu unterschiedlichen Analystenkommentaren bekommen. Darin wird damit gerechnet, dass uns im Jahr 2026 ein „schwarzer Schwan“ begegnen könnte – in Form einer heftigen Rezession. Und die Begründung dafür ist grundsätzlich real: Die Faktoren, die dabei als Grundlage genannt werden, sind keine Theorie, sondern passieren tatsächlich genau jetzt, in diesem Moment. Meine Einordnung dazu gibt es in dieser Folge – legen wir los.

In this raw, wide-ranging conversation, Darin sits down with Frank Zummo, award-winning drummer for Sum 41, founding member of Street Drum Corps, and current touring drummer for Electric Callboy, to explore what it really takes to sustain creativity, health, and purpose inside the extreme demands of the music industry. From high-pressure fill-in moments and massive tours to mental health, fatherhood, fear, discipline, and recovery, this episode is a masterclass in resilience. Frank opens up about grief, identity, panic, persistence, and how true success comes from staying available when opportunity shows up.   What You'll Learn What it takes to master an entire arena-level set in less than 24 hours The mental and physical demands of high-performance touring How Frank manages recovery, inflammation, and stress on the road Why breathwork, cold exposure, and routine are non-negotiable Hidden health risks of pyrotechnics, heavy metals, and touring environments How discipline becomes freedom when it's built into daily systems Navigating panic, uncertainty, and career transitions at the top level Turning fear into a tool instead of something to suppress The difference between rational and irrational fear How availability creates probability in life and career Lessons from loss, grief, and complicated parent relationships Why creativity can't be replicated by machines or algorithms Staying present as a parent while living an unconventional life Why persistence beats talent over the long run How the music industry, and wellness culture, is changing   Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife and the mission of sovereignty 00:00:32 – Sponsor: TheraSage and natural healing technologies 00:02:10 – Introducing Frank Zummo 00:02:40 – Life as a professional touring drummer 00:02:56 – Learning a full Electric Callboy set in under a day 00:03:21 – Creativity, technology, and focus 00:04:07 – Frank's respect for Darin's work and health advocacy 00:06:01 – XPT, breathwork, and lifestyle changes 00:07:05 – Heavy metals, pyrotechnics, and detox protocols 00:08:27 – Sauna, ice baths, and recovery on tour 00:10:49 – Down-regulating after high-adrenaline performances 00:12:10 – Warming up smarter, not harder 00:12:53 – Nutrition, protein shakes, and avoiding tour junk food 00:13:52 – Discipline, planning, and long-term consistency 00:15:10 – Frank's relationship with his father and grief 00:16:35 – Learning from trauma instead of repeating it 00:18:30 – Workshops, kids, and mental health conversations 00:19:51 – Writing the book and creative freedom 00:22:25 – Filling in for Tommy Lee and career-defining moments 00:24:07 – Presence, gratitude, and holding onto the good 00:27:13 – Fear, uncertainty, and career transitions 00:28:16 – Breathwork for anxiety and panic 00:29:18 – Staying open when plans collapse 00:30:34 – Electric Callboy and a new chapter 00:31:36 – Family, touring, and being present as a father 00:32:47 – Rethinking fear and emotional programming 00:35:08 – Rational vs irrational fear 00:36:32 – Availability, probability, and opportunity 00:37:29 – Tunnel vision, persistence, and staying the course 00:39:35 – Doing whatever it takes early on 00:41:40 – Building Street Drum Corps from the ground up 00:43:11 – Walking away from success for mental health 00:46:03 – Health, discipline, and longevity in music 00:50:18 – Passion, authenticity, and staying true 00:52:06 – Social media, bullying, and kids today 00:55:00 – Parenting, education, and real-world learning 00:57:06 – Travel, family, and perspective 01:00:14 – Small changes, fatal conveniences, and starting slow 01:01:26 – Closing reflections on persistence and purpose     Thank You to Our Sponsors: Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.

In this solo episode, Darin breaks down one of the most misunderstood drivers of behavior change: environment. We've been taught that success comes down to discipline, motivation, and willpower, but neuroscience tells a very different story. Darin explains how modern environments hijack the brain's reward system, override conscious choice, and quietly shape habits before we even realize it. This episode is a practical, science-backed roadmap for redesigning your surroundings so healthy behaviors become automatic and self-sabotaging patterns lose their grip.     What You'll Learn Why willpower is a weak and unreliable backup system How your environment shapes behavior before conscious choice The neuroscience behind cues, habits, and automatic behavior Why modern food and tech are engineered to hijack dopamine How stress amplifies cravings and impulsive behavior The link between cortisol, dopamine, and habit formation Why changing your environment works better than "trying harder" How visual cues influence food choices and cravings Why phones, notifications, and color overstimulate the brain Simple ways to design a SuperLife environment that supports your goals     Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife and the mission of sovereignty 00:00:33 – Sponsor: TruNiagen NAD⁺ supplements and why verification matters 00:02:18 – Introducing today's topic: environment vs willpower 00:02:42 – Why willpower has been misunderstood 00:03:18 – Willpower as a weak backup system 00:03:32 – How surroundings shape habits automatically 00:03:53 – The neuroscience of behavior change 00:04:01 – Dopamine hijacking in modern life 00:04:14 – Designing environments that make good habits automatic 00:05:06 – Why this topic matters more than ever 00:05:46 – External cues and automatic brain responses 00:06:18 – Hippocampus, basal ganglia, and habit loops 00:06:55 – Nudge theory and environmental design 00:07:31 – Why willpower shouldn't lead behavior change 00:07:55 – Food cues, stress, and cravings 00:08:20 – Phones, notifications, and dopamine overload 00:09:05 – Reward prediction and cue-driven behavior 00:10:02 – Redesigning environments to reduce addiction 00:10:34 – Stress hormones and habit reinforcement 00:11:30 – Sponsor: Our Place non-toxic cookware 00:13:34 – Stress, scrolling, and lost time 00:14:26 – Junk food, stress, and compulsive eating 00:15:12 – How environmental cues shift food desire 00:15:28 – Engineered foods and reward circuits 00:16:09 – Tech cues, stress, and attention hijacking 00:17:06 – Practical solutions: designing a SuperLife environment 00:17:48 – Kitchen setup and visual food cues 00:18:41 – Workspace design and single-purpose zones 00:19:08 – Reducing digital dopamine triggers 00:19:32 – Using grayscale mode on your phone 00:20:32 – Social environment and behavior modeling 00:21:21 – Community, support, and the SuperLife Patreon 00:22:18 – Bringing nature into your home 00:23:19 – Environment influences habits more than willpower 00:23:52 – Why inaction keeps you stuck 00:24:13 – Changing your environment to change your life 00:24:26 – Closing thoughts and call to action     Thank You to Our Sponsors: Our Place: Non-toxic cookware that keeps harmful chemicals out of your food.

#333: Pete Hunt, CEO of Dagster and early React team member, explores the evolution from Facebook's early React development through trust and safety infrastructure at Twitter, to building modern data orchestration tools. The conversation reveals how similar infrastructure problems plague every industry - whether you're launching rockets or managing porta-potties, the core challenges remain consistent: late data, quality issues, and mysterious errors that require both automated solutions and human oversight. The discussion dives into the technical realities of scaling systems, from the microservices complexity trap to the current AI adoption wave. Hunt shares candid insights about leadership challenges, including how well-intentioned technology recommendations can backfire, and why most data projects fail despite sophisticated multi-agent orchestration. The conversation touches on career advancement pressures that drive unnecessary complexity and the importance of focusing on actual user adoption rather than technical sophistication. This episode features Pete Hunt in conversation with hosts Darin and Viktor, covering everything from regular expression nightmares to the future of data infrastructure and the lessons learned from building products that people actually use.   Pete's contact information: X: https://x.com/floydophone LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pwhunt/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

KI ist eine Blackbox, aber Sandra Wachter bringt Licht in den Algorithmen-Dschungel. Sie ist Professorin am Oxford Internet Institute und Humboldt-Professorin am Hasso-Plattner-Institut und forscht zu Datenethik, Regulierung und den gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen von generativer KI. Generative KI, damit ist KI gemeint, die neue Inhalte erzeugt. Zum Beispiel Texte, Bilder, Audio oder Videos. In dieser Folge erklärt Sandra Wachter, warum der Begriff ‚Künstliche Intelligenz‘ ihrer Meinung nach irreführend ist, wo sie die größten Chancen und Risiken sieht und weshalb sie sich deutlich für mehr Regulierung ausspricht. Dabei erläutert die Juristin, was hinter Bias und Halluzinationen steckt, erklärt wie der von ihr entwickelte Fairness-Test zu mehr Klarheit für menschliche Entscheidungen führt und warum sie KI in ihren Lehrveranstaltungen verbietet. Außerdem führt sie aus, warum sie ChatGPT und andere Modelle für Blender hält und was man im alltäglichen Umgang mit ihnen beachten soll.

In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Darin sits down with Hagen Thiers to unpack one of the most misunderstood journeys in health: why doing "everything right" still doesn't always work — and how true transformation requires decoding the body's survival signals, not fighting them. Hagen shares his remarkable physical transformation after decades of extreme metabolic adaptation, chronic gut inflammation, and stress-driven physiology. Together, they explore metabolism, inflammation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, protein intake, discipline, and why sustainable health is built through patience, self-leadership, and listening to the body's intelligence.     What You'll Learn in This Episode Why extreme dieting and endurance stress can permanently slow metabolism How survival adaptation can block fat loss despite "perfect" habits The overlooked role of gut inflammation in weight retention Why fat is a protective organ, not just stored energy How leptin signaling and inflammation dictate fat loss resistance The difference between calorie math and biological reality Why healing must precede weight loss for many people How protein intake preserves muscle during fat loss Why discipline beats motivation every time The role of hyperbaric oxygen in reducing inflammation and restoring function How oxygen delivery impacts fat tissue, gut health, and recovery Why consistency over months—not hacks—creates lasting change How physical freedom directly impacts happiness and life quality     Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife and the mission of sovereignty and health 00:00:32 – Sponsor: Fatty15 and cellular health 00:04:14 – Introducing Hagen Thiers 00:09:43 – Hagen's transformation and why this conversation matters 00:11:26 – Doing everything right but still being stuck 00:13:28 – Discovering severe metabolic suppression 00:14:54 – Extreme endurance, starvation adaptation, and survival metabolism 00:17:04 – Why chronic calorie restriction backfires 00:20:56 – Gut inflammation as the real barrier to fat loss 00:22:41 – Healing before weight loss 00:23:26 – Fiber diversity, probiotics, and microbiome repair 00:24:30 – Enter hyperbaric oxygen therapy 00:27:57 – Why calories in / calories out breaks down 00:30:30 – Stress, inflammation, and metabolic shutdown 00:31:53 – Protein requirements and muscle preservation 00:35:47 – Discipline as a long-term lifestyle 00:38:54 – Eating frequency and metabolic signaling 00:43:39 – How hyperbaric oxygen works 00:47:31 – Why results accelerate after consistency 00:50:23 – 170 lbs lost and metabolic breakthrough 00:54:32 – Oxygen quality and chamber safety 00:58:22 – Breathwork vs hyperbaric oxygen 01:03:40 – Building an internal healing environment 01:05:05 – Life after transformation 01:06:42 – Discipline, the gym, and honest feedback 01:09:26 – Health as freedom, not restriction 01:11:39 – Inflammation as the missing piece for most people 01:12:45 – Closing reflections and hope for listeners     Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Our Place: Toxic-free, durable cookware that supports healthy cooking.

Are you exhausted all the time? In this solo episode, Darin breaks down why so many people feel chronically exhausted despite eating clean, exercising, and "doing everything right." He explains how modern life disrupts mitochondrial function, circadian rhythm, stress signaling, and nutrient availability, and why fatigue is not a personal failure, but a biological signal. This episode offers a grounded, practical roadmap to restoring energy by realigning your environment, habits, and daily rhythms with how the body is actually designed to function.     What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why chronic fatigue is exploding—even among healthy, active people How mitochondria do far more than "make energy" The role of circadian rhythm, light exposure, and timing in energy production Why stress, overtraining, and modern lifestyles drain cellular energy How emotional suppression and unexpressed stress affect vitality The difference between forcing energy and allowing energy Simple daily practices that support mitochondrial repair How breathwork, stillness, and social connection restore resilience Why nutrition alone isn't enough without rhythm and recovery How to realign your biology with the modern world     Timecodes 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife and the intention behind this episode 00:00:32 – Sponsor: TheraSage and natural frequency-based healing 00:02:10 – Happy New Year + why this conversation matters now 00:02:37 – Are you exhausted even though you're "doing everything right"? 00:03:26 – The modern energy crisis and rising chronic fatigue 00:04:12 – Why surface-level health advice no longer works 00:04:27 – Mitochondria: more than energy factories 00:04:59 – Circadian misalignment, EMFs, and modern stressors 00:05:36 – Overtraining, stress load, and lack of recovery 00:06:00 – Fatigue as a signal, not a lack of discipline 00:06:18 – How artificial light disrupts internal clocks 00:07:25 – Discipline as alignment with natural rhythms 00:07:36 – Emotional release, primal expression, and energy recovery 00:08:47 – Why "why am I tired all the time?" is exploding online 00:09:24 – The mitochondria as environmental sensors 00:10:06 – Stress signaling, thoughts, and cellular energy flow 00:11:18 – Breathwork and slowing the nervous system 00:12:24 – Social connection and low-stress signaling 00:13:02 – Sponsor: Bite toothpaste and eliminating plastic exposure 00:15:19 – Morning sunlight and circadian priming 00:15:52 – Reducing artificial light at night 00:16:15 – Nutrients that support mitochondrial function 00:17:29 – Sleep timing, consistency, and repair 00:18:20 – Evening routines and melatonin protection 00:19:46 – Small daily steps compound into real energy 00:20:17 – Antioxidants, inflammation, and recovery 00:20:49 – Training smarter, not harder 00:21:31 – Breathwork, sauna, and recovery rituals 00:22:26 – Nutrition, protein, and polyphenols 00:24:37 – Five daily energy takeaways 00:25:24 – Energy is permitted, not forced 00:26:03 – Listening to the body and closing reflections 00:26:49 – SuperLife Patreon and community support     Join the SuperLife Community Get Darin's deeper wellness breakdowns — beyond social media restrictions: Weekly voice notes Ingredient deep dives Wellness challenges Energy + consciousness tools Community accountability Extended episodes Join for $7.49/month → https://patreon.com/darinolien     Thank You to Our Sponsors: Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.     Find More from Darin Olien: Instagram: @darinolien Podcast: SuperLife Podcast Website: superlife.com Book: Fatal Conveniences     Key Takeaway "Fatigue isn't failure.

Wir wissen noch nicht, was 2026 für die Ukraine und die Europäer bereithält, aber bei einem sind wir uns recht sicher: Es wird geprägt sein vom besonderen Verhältnis zwischen Donald Trump und Wladimir Putin. Denn die beiden sind sich in vielen Punkten ähnlich: in der Personalisierung ihrer Herrschaft, im Hass auf den Liberalismus und in ihrem Anspruch auf Einflusssphären, wie das US-Vorgehen in Venezuela gerade erst gezeigt hat. Mitunter gehen die Ähnlichkeiten so weit, dass ihre Aussagen schwer voneinander zu unterscheiden sind. Doch auch Russland und die USA weisen bemerkenswerte Ähnlichkeiten auf. Die USA waren und sind für russische Herrscher seit dem 20. Jahrhundert eine Projektionsfläche, gegen die sie ihr Land definierten und an der sie es am Ende doch ausrichteten. In der ersten "Ostcast"-Folge im neuen Jahr wollen wir auf das russisch-amerikanische Verhältnis und die Folgen für Europa und die Welt schauen. Was verbindet Trump und Putin? Wie ähnelt sich ihr Verständnis von Macht und Respekt? Was haben die beiden Großmächte gemeinsam und was trennt sie? Wo schauen sie sich etwas voneinander ab? Das diskutieren wir mit unserem Gast Rieke Havertz, Internationale Korrespondentin der ZEIT, deren Buch  "Goodbye, Amerika? Die USA und wir – eine Neuvermessung" vor Kurzem erschienen ist. Darin beschreibt sie den Abschied von den Illusionen, die wir uns über die USA als Sehnsuchtsort und Vorbild für Freiheit, Fortschritt und Demokratie gemacht haben.  Alle drei Wochen sprechen wir im Ostcast über Politik und Gesellschaft der osteuropäischen Länder. Alice Bota berichtet von ihren Gesprächen und Erfahrungen in Osteuropa, Michael Thumann erzählt von seinen Begegnungen und Reisen in Russland und den Nachbarländern.  [ANZEIGE] Mehr über die Angebote unserer Werbepartnerinnen und -partner finden Sie HIER.

#332: AI adoption in enterprise software development is accelerating, but operations teams are lagging behind. While application developers embrace AI tools at a rapid pace, those on the ops side remain skeptical—citing concerns about determinism, control, and a general resistance to change. This mirrors previous technology waves like containers, cloud, and Kubernetes, where certain groups initially pushed back before eventually adapting. The prediction for 2026: AI will not see widespread adoption in operations despite its growing presence elsewhere in the software lifecycle. The bigger challenge facing organizations is not just adopting AI but transforming entire processes to take advantage of it. Improving just one piece of the software delivery pipeline—like development speed—only creates bottlenecks elsewhere. Companies cannot hand developers AI tools while keeping everything else the same and expect transformational results. The future points toward a world where experts bring their own AI agents to companies: personal toolsets trained on their experience and best practices that integrate with organizational systems. Perhaps the most provocative insight centers on the value of writing code itself. The argument: writing code is the easiest and least valuable part of software development. The real cognitive load comes from thinking through requirements, architecture, and design. Developers who simply translate instructions to code without deeper engagement may find themselves in real danger as AI continues to advance. Darin and Viktor explore these predictions and more as they look ahead to what 2026 might bring for DevOps, platform engineering, and the evolving role of developers.   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

Are we asking ourselves an honest question about who really owns automation inside a business anymore? In my conversation with Darin Patterson, Vice President of Market Strategy at Make, we explore what happens when speed becomes the default requirement, but visibility and structure fail to keep up.  Make has become one of the breakout platforms for teams that want to build automated workflows without writing code, and now, with AI agents joining the mix, the stakes feel even higher. Darin talks candidly about the tension between empowerment and chaos, especially in organizations that embraced no-code tools fast and early, only to discover that automation can quietly turn into sprawl if left unchecked. What struck me most is how strongly Darin challenges the idea that documentation alone can save modern IT teams. He argues that traditional monitoring tools and workflow documentation are breaking down under the weight of constant iteration. That's where Make Grid comes in. Make Grid creates an auto-generated, real-time visual map of a company's automation ecosystem, something Darin describes as a turning point for governance. He explains why this matters now, not later. As companies deploy AI into processes that used to be owned by specialists, Grid provides a shared lens for understanding what is running, who built it, and where dependencies exist. It's an answer to a problem many IT leaders are reluctant to admit publicly, that automation systems often grow faster than oversight systems ever could. Darin also offers a refreshingly grounded take on the psychology of ambitious teams. He talks about the need to prevent "no-code anarchy," a phrase I've heard whispered at conferences, but rarely unpacked with clarity. His view is simple, trust teams to build, but give them shared maps, guardrails, and governance that don't slow them down. That balance between autonomy and oversight becomes even more meaningful when AI is introduced into workflows that touch security, IT performance, and cross-team accountability. Make Grid attempts to solve that balance by showing the automation architecture visually, even when internal documentation has gone stale. So here's the question I want to leave you with, if AI agents can now design, connect, and deploy workflows across an organization, what role will visual governance play in keeping businesses both fast and accountable? And what does good oversight look like when humans are no longer the only builders in the system?

In this solo episode of The SuperLife Podcast, Darin Olien dives deep into the true biology of energy—not motivation, not stimulants, not willpower, but the mitochondria themselves. Inspired by a groundbreaking conversation between Dr. Andrew Huberman and Dr. Martin Picard, Darin reframes energy as an emergent property of how we live, not just what we eat or how much we sleep. This episode explores how mitochondria act as signal translators, listening to your food, stress, sleep, movement, emotions, purpose, and environment—and turning those signals into either vitality or depletion. Darin connects cutting-edge mitochondrial science with real-world practices around recovery, meaningful stress, consistency, connection, and alignment, showing how true longevity and resilience are built at the cellular level.     What You'll Learn in This Episode 00:00  – Welcome to SuperLife & the mission of sovereignty and vitality 00:32 – Thera Sage sponsor: family-built healing tech & red light 02:10 – Why this episode is different: diving into cellular energy 02:42 – Inspiration from Huberman & Picard's mitochondria conversation 03:11 – Rethinking mitochondria: not just ATP, but information processors 04:03 – Energy as potential for change, not calories or fuel 04:39 – How thoughts, emotions, food, and stress shape energy 05:05 – Energy is dynamic, adaptive, and responsive to how you live 06:02 – Mitochondria as signal integrators: sleep, hormones, purpose, connection 06:50 – Mitochondria as antennas, not factories 07:16 – Translating life experience into biological energy 08:09 – Why we don't feel "energy," we feel energy flow 08:53 – Flow states, purpose, and why passion creates vitality 09:32 – Different organs, different mitochondrial roles 10:26 – Why energy optimization is not one-size-fits-all 10:49 – Energy resistance: the hidden cause of fatigue and burnout 11:47 – Chronic stress, poor sleep, and ultra-processed food as energy blockers 12:12 – Why recovery is non-negotiable for longevity 12:20 – Caldera Lab sponsor: clean, performance-driven skincare 14:20 – The danger of constant output without recovery 14:45 – Sleep as a mitochondrial reset and repair system 15:40 – Exercise, adaptation, and why recovery completes the signal 16:22 – Intentional stress vs. chronic stress 17:29 – Food as information, not just fuel 18:05 – Time-restricted eating, fresh food, and metabolic signaling 18:27 – Meaning, purpose, and emotional states as cellular inputs 19:23 – Mitochondria, aging, and the potential reversibility of decline 20:06 – SuperLife framework: alignment over optimization 20:37 – Consistency beats intensity at the cellular level 21:19 – Stable rhythms: sleep, nourishment, hydration, movement 21:45 – Stillness, meditation, and parasympathetic repair 22:35 – Growth requires both resistance and recovery 24:44 – Connection, community, and loneliness as biological signals 25:27 – Eliminating fatal conveniences to restore vitality 26:02 – Your mitochondria are listening—change the signals 26:21 – Honoring Huberman & Picard's contribution to human health 27:12 – Energy flow as the foundation of a SuperLife 28:11 – Closing reflections and invitation to apply this work     Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Caldera Lab: Experience the clinically proven benefits of Caldera Lab's clean skincare regimen and enjoy 20% off your order by visiting calderalab.com/darin and using code DARIN at checkout.     Join the SuperLife Community Get Darin's deeper wellness breakdowns — beyond social media restrictions: Weekly voice notes Ingredient deep dives Wellness challenges Energy + consciousness tools Community accountability Extended episodes Join for $7.49/month → https://patreon.com/darinolien     Find More from Darin Olien: Instagram: @darinolien Podcast: SuperLife Podcast Website: superlife.com Book: Fatal Conveniences     Key Takeaway "Your mitochondria are not broken.

In this episode, Darin Roark, President and COO of Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, shares how his team doubled down on quality to achieve major improvements in patient outcomes, length of stay, and safety. He also discusses leadership lessons, sustaining momentum, and key priorities for growth and care delivery in 2026.

In this powerful and paradigm-shifting conversation, Darin Olien sits down with Dr. Mindy Pelz to dismantle everything we've been told about menopause, hormones, aging, and women's power. This is not a conversation about "fixing" women — it's about understanding a profound neurological, biological, and evolutionary transition that has been misunderstood, pathologized, and silenced for decades. Together, they explore why menopause is not the end of vitality, but the beginning of leadership, clarity, and sovereignty — and why reclaiming this transition could fundamentally reshape families, culture, and the future of women's health.     What You'll Learn (with Full Timecodes) 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife: Why this episode matters for everyone, not just women 00:01:05 – The hidden cost of modern living: Plastics, endocrine disruption, and invisible hormonal stress 00:02:47 – Introducing Dr. Mindy Pelz: Why this conversation goes deeper than anything online 00:03:17 – Why women were excluded from medical research for decades 00:05:26 – The shocking pattern Dr. Pelz saw in women in their 40s: When life looks perfect but feels unbearable 00:06:41 – The suicide and divorce statistics no one talks about 00:07:27 – Why menopause exists at all: The evolutionary mystery 00:08:55 – The Grandmother Hypothesis: Why post-menopausal women kept humanity alive 00:10:08 – The brain shift that makes women stop people-pleasing 00:11:31 – Aging, fear, and the cultural erasure of women's wisdom 00:13:10 – The female brain before vs. after menopause 00:15:13 – Darin's reflection on his mother and invisible female labor 00:16:06 – Why community, safety, and oxytocin matter more than willpower 00:18:00 – Carol Gilligan's research: When girls stop knowing what they want 00:19:32 – Menopause as an awakening — not a breakdown 00:21:24 – Why men must be part of this conversation 00:22:26 – Leadership, aging, and reclaiming relevance 00:24:18 – Family dynamics when identity shifts 00:25:33 – The problem with outsourcing menopause to hormone therapy alone 00:27:00 – How to communicate needs without blame or collapse 00:30:07 – Metabolic health, insulin resistance, and early menopause 00:31:16 – The one blood marker every woman over 40 must track (HbA1c) 00:34:45 – The Hormonal Hierarchy explained: Cortisol, insulin, sex hormones, oxytocin 00:37:44 – Menopause as a cultural rite of passage we never created 00:39:31 – Dementia, Alzheimer's, and the glucose-starved brain 00:40:23 – Why fasting is neuroprotective for women 00:42:35 – How fasting helps menopausal belly weight 00:44:36 – Why shame keeps women disconnected from their power 00:45:34 – Why puberty and menopause are happening earlier 00:46:21 – Big Pharma, fear narratives, and the HRT conversation 00:48:35 – Empowerment vs. outsourcing health 00:50:11 – Why society fears powerful, post-menopausal women 00:52:11 – Dr. Pelz's personal breaking point and nervous system reset 00:55:33 – Redefining work, marriage, and self-permission 00:58:37 – Resentment as a diagnostic tool 01:01:15 – Neuroplasticity, obstacles, and the hero's journey 01:03:16 – Why going through discomfort rewires the brain 01:04:23 – Integration: Menopause as rebirth, leadership, and collective healing 01:12:25 – Closing reflections and final takeaways     Thank You to Our Sponsors: Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order Caldera Lab: Experience the clinically proven benefits of Caldera Lab's clean skincare regimen and enjoy 20% off your order by visiting calderalab.com/darin and using code DARIN at checkout.     Join the SuperLife Community Get Darin's deeper wellness breakdowns — beyond social media restrictions: Weekly voice notes Ingredient deep dives Wellness challenges Energy + consciousness tools Community accountability Extended episodes Join for $7.49/month → https://patreon.com/darinolien     Find More From Dr. Mindy Pelz: Website: drmindypelz.com Instagram: @dr.mindypelz Follow her YouTube Channel Podcast: The Resetter Podcast Order her new book: Age Like a Girl     Find More from Darin Olien: Instagram: @darinolien Podcast: SuperLife Website: https://superlife.com Book: Fatal Conveniences     Key Takeaway: Menopause isn't a failure of the female body — it's the moment a woman's brain rewires for truth, leadership, and independence. When we stop trying to fix women and start understanding this transition, we don't just heal individuals — we change families, cultures, and the future.
