Leading international law firm, Addleshaw Goddard, launched its Investors in Energy: Ireland Report at its Ireland's Energy Market Outlook event at the Westbury, bringing together key decision-makers to explore trends and investment opportunities across the Irish energy sector. The event was attended by Minister of State at the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment, Timmy Dooley, T.D., alongside more than 100 senior representatives from across the industry, who examined the critical need for deeper stakeholder collaboration to unlock Ireland's renewable energy potential. The report examines how Ireland can build on its strong renewable momentum while tackling the practical challenges that shape the pace of new infrastructure delivery. Drawing on insights from across the energy sector, it explores the balance between strong renewable growth, rising electricity demand, and the power system's capacity to absorb this and deliver in light of recent, significant investment decisions. Acceleration of Solar The report highlights that Ireland's renewable energy transition has shown signs of acceleration in recent years, particularly in solar, which has expanded from almost zero capacity to in excess of 2GW in under four years. Strong policy ambition and sustained investor appetite continue to support this growth. However, it finds that delivery capacity, not ambition, is now the defining constraint. Grid limitations, planning challenges, and long lead times for major infrastructure projects are slowing the pace at which renewable projects can move from the development stage to operation. Offshore wind is currently hindered by planning challenges, with the first phase of offshore wind projects only likely to be delivered post 2030. Speaking at the launch event, Minister of State at the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment, Timmy Dooley, T.D., said: "Ireland has made significant strides in scaling renewable energy, particularly in onshore wind and solar. The next phase of our energy transition will hinge on ensuring that infrastructure delivery, planning processes and regulatory systems keep pace with the supportive policy and the investment environment we've put in place for renewables in Ireland. At Government level, we are addressing these challenges through the introduction of the Critical Infrastructure Bill and Emergency Powers Bill, both currently being progressed, in order to support and accelerate sustained growth in the years ahead." Sustaining the Energy Transition Despite these constraints, the report identifies a broad and investable pipeline of opportunities across the Irish energy market. Rapid solar deployment continues to attract strong levels of capital, while emerging opportunities in battery storage, grid stability services, biomethane, and private power solutions are gaining momentum. Rising electricity demand is reshaping how energy is generated, stored, and supplied, accelerating interest in flexible delivery models such as behind-the-meter generation and future private wire connections. Launching the report, Gavin Blake, Partner, Head of Energy & Infrastructure at Addleshaw Goddard Ireland, said: "Ireland's opportunity is shaped not by demand or capital, but by how effectively delivery is coordinated across the system. Grid capacity, planning complexity and infrastructure sequencing are now the critical factors determining how quickly projects can be built and brought online. The positive story is that Ireland has already proven it can scale renewables at pace. The next phase is about making that growth dependable and aligned with rising demand through greater stakeholder coordination." Immediate Focus The report concludes that closer coordination between the Government, regulators, and industry will be critical to sustaining progress. Aligning infrastructure investment with demand growth, rather than forcing outcomes against system limits, will be essential to maintaining investor conf...

Welcome to the RPGBOT.Podcast, where today's character creation lesson begins with basic geometry, escalates into psychic powers, and somehow ends with a pacifist circus bear being seriously considered as a build option. In this episode, we take the gloves off and actually make characters for Pulp Cthulhu—choosing archetypes, rolling stats, hoarding skill points like goblins, and discovering that if you roll too well, you might accidentally invent the world's first telepathic himbo artist. If you've ever wondered how Call of Cthulhu character creation becomes fast, fun, and dangerously powerful, this is where the pulp really starts to flow. The D8 goes in the D8 hole. Show Notes This episode walks step-by-step through Pulp Cthulhu character creation, showing how investigators are built to be tougher, broader, and far more cinematic than their classic Call of Cthulhu counterparts. Ash guides Tyler and Randall through the full process—then breaks it down into a Quick & Dirty method that can get players to the table in minutes. Step 1: Choose an Archetype Archetypes replace traditional "classes" and are rooted in classic pulp fiction roles: Mystic (psychic powers, occult insight, vibes) Egghead (engineers, scientists, gadgeteers) Two-Fisted, Swashbuckler, Femme Fatale, Bon Vivant, and more Each archetype: Defines a core characteristic Grants bonus archetype skills Suggests traits, occupations, and story hooks This approach encourages concept-first design, letting the character idea drive the mechanics instead of the other way around. Step 2: Generate Characteristics Attributes are rolled using the familiar D100 roll-under system, but with a key twist: Core characteristic = 1d6 + 13 × 5 (expect very high numbers) Other stats use 3d6×5 or 2d6+6×5 High pulp means exceptional competence The result? Characters who feel powerful immediately—sometimes too powerful, leading to delightful accidents like rolling: Incredible Power Solid looks Questionable intelligence (Yes, the "himbo build" is real.) Step 3: Talents (High Pulp Edition) Because this game is running High Pulp, characters receive four talents instead of two. Talents are drawn from four categories: Physical Mental Combat Miscellaneous Highlights from the episode include: Psychic Powers Arcane Insight Weird Science Animal Companion (responsibly downgraded from "bear" to "bear-adjacent dog") Talents dramatically define how characters play and reinforce pulp action over fragile realism. Step 4: Occupation & Skill Points Occupations grant massive skill point pools, often hundreds of points: Skills start with base percentages Occupational skills come first Archetype skills add another 100 points Personal interest skills add even more The result is wide, competent characters instead of hyper-specialized glass cannons. The episode includes practical advice: Avoid pushing every skill to 95 Aim for flexibility, not just peak numbers Remember Credit Rating is mandatory and matters in play Step 5: Backstory (Fast but Meaningful) Instead of long essays, Pulp Cthulhu uses structured prompts: Personal description (biased, first-person) Ideology and beliefs Significant people Treasured possessions Traits Random tables spark instant character hooks, like: Idolizing Nikola Tesla Carrying calipers as a grounding object Shared trauma bonds Risk-taking or unreliable personalities One key backstory element becomes your Sanity anchor, helping characters recover from mental trauma. Quick & Dirty Character Creation Ash closes the episode with a streamlined alternative: Assign preset stat values Pick talents Select skills from fixed arrays Roll backstory details Start playing immediately Perfect for one-shots, convention play, or groups eager to punch cultists now, not in two hours. Key Takeaways Pulp Cthulhu character creation is fast, flexible, and cinematic Archetypes replace classes with strong narrative identity High Pulp characters start powerful and stay relevant Talents are the heart of customization Skill points are plentiful—breadth is rewarded Structured backstory tools create instant roleplay hooks The Quick & Dirty method gets you playing in minutes Yes, you can accidentally build a psychic himbo—and that's a feature Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

**Trad Wife. Boss Babe. Stay-at-Home Mom. Career Woman.** Why does the internet insist women must choose sides? In this episode, we slow the conversation way down and explore the evolution of the *“trad wife”*—from the 1950s homemaker, to the Superwoman era, to today's deeply nuanced, choice-driven lives women are actually living. This is **not** a debate and **not** an attack on either path. It's a real, lived conversation about: * Why homemaking and child-rearing are often viewed as “less than” * How feminism expanded choice… and sometimes created new pressure * The exhaustion of “doing it all” * The return of the trad wife—and why it looks very different today * Career, caregiving, creativity, money, autonomy, and respect * How to design a life that aligns with *your* values—not social media labels I also share my personal story after decades as a pilot wife, stay-at-home mom, entrepreneur, and what I now call a **“rad wife”**—forging my own path without losing identity, autonomy, or ambition. If you're navigating: * Marriage or partnership expectations * Career vs. home (or blending both) * Money dynamics and independence * Motherhood, identity, and fulfillment * Or simply feeling judged for your choices This episode is for you. ✨ **Inside the episode, you'll also hear:** * How to start honest conversations with your current or future spouse * How to define your priorities (and revisit them as life changes) * Why routines, flexibility, and creativity matter more than labels * How to ignore outside noise without burning bridges At the end of the day, success belongs to the woman who lives life on **her own terms**.

1/29/26 - Thursday Touchdown, What defines a successful deadline for the Pistons? Two Grand Slam, Dear Jon

What does it really mean for God to be good when life is painful? In this episode, we walk through the story of Job to challenge our assumptions about what “good” looks like and who gets to define it. Rather than measuring God's goodness by our circumstances, we are reminded that God is always good, and He uses even the hardest moments to refine our faith and draw us closer to Him.

On today's show, host Dana Pellebon is joined by Dr. Jonathan Mathias Lassiter, author of the new book, How I Know White People are Crazy and Other Stories: Notes from a Frustrated Black Psychologist. Dr. Lassiter works in private psychotherapy practice and provides culturally relevant care for marginalized professionals. He is part of the mere 1% of Black male psychologists in the country. His memoir makes the case for better cultural representation in the therapy field and defines the theory of the “whiteness mindset.”  Dr. Lassiter says that he's always been curious about why people do the things they do, and this led him to pursue a career in education followed by a psychotherapy practice. He describes his upbringing and the isolation and microaggressions he experienced in his graduate studies and clinical settings. He noticed that though the clinics he worked in were serving Black and Latinx clients, the vast majority of the therapists were white. And while working in the VA hospital in Indianapolis, he was the only Black male therapist. At that time, he read Toni Morrison's Playing in the Dark: Whiteness in the Literary Imagination and went on to write a corollary essay, “Whiteness in the Psychological Imagination,” that became the seed of his current book.  In How I Know White People are Crazy and Other Stories, Dr. Lassiter uses diagnostic criteria to define “the whiteness mindset” as a way of thinking and being that values materialism, competition, and individualism, which all promote oppression. It's a “distress producing phenomena” that hurts everyone and is making white people sick, he says. They also discuss other concepts in psychology, like “post traumatic slave syndrome” and “black fatigue,” and how Christianity becomes a weapon, especially when it comes to sexuality. Dr. Lassiter says he wants marginalized people, the global majority, to understand that they're not the problem. His future work will focus on the Afro-centric and Indigenous psychologies as pathways to better, more healthy futures. Dr. Jonathan Mathias Lassiter is a licensed clinical psychologist in New York City specializing in culturally informed mental health care for Black, POC, and LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. With a passion to use his Ph.D.for the culture, he serves as a therapist, scientist, educator, author, mental health columnist, on-air mental health expert, and international public speaker. Dr. Lassiter has appeared in such outlets as NBC, PBS, Forbes, Huff Post, Radio NewZealand, SiriusXM, iHeart Radio, and more. Follow Dr. Lassiter on all social media platforms at @lassiterhealth.

Key TakeawaysWhat to expect in 2026: The industry has moved from its previous point in the "hype cycle" into a more realistic phase, where limitations of AI and agents are clearer, and new methodologies are needed to extract real business value. Robinson adds that this year's AI Agent & Copilot Summit serves as an important refresh to share what's been learned, preview what's coming, and features an exceptionally strong lineup of Microsoft AI leaders.Session selection process: Robinson, who serves on the event's Programming Committee Board, describes what he was looking for when selecting sessions: a balance of technical depth with business context, so attendees understand foundational concepts before advancing into more complex topics. The goal was to ensure attendees walk away with both the “cool” innovations and the practical know‑how needed to apply AI effectively without creating business issues.2026 sessions: Robinson details the five sessions he'll be leading, including:"From Future Proof to Future Agile," on March 18"Copilot Studio 101 & Implementation Guide," on March 18"Child Agents, Instructions, and Descriptions: A New Way of Building," on March 18"Update to Understanding Component Collections Vs Multi-Agent," on March 19"Multi-Agent AI Systems with Microsoft Foundry, Copilot Studio, Fabric, Microsoft Agent Framework," on March 19He adds that "I would love to get your insights [on] where you're having problems, challenges you're seeing... so that'll just be additional value-add on top of these great learnings in the masterclass."Final thoughts: Robinson encourages attendees to fully engage with the event's intimate, community‑focused format, noting that “these speakers are going to be available to you, so take the opportunity to interact with them.” He emphasizes following the full education track for maximum value and making time for social events to connect, learn, and share insights.

There are powerful cards in Legacy.There are cards that define decks.And then there are cards that shape the entire format.In this episode of Eternal Durdles, we break down Orcish Bowmasters — not as just another strong card, but as a format-defining force that dictates how Legacy decks are built, sequenced, and played.Bowmasters doesn't counter spells.It doesn't tax mana.Instead, it punishes one of Legacy's most fundamental behaviors: drawing cards.We explore:Why draw effects become liabilities in a Bowmasters formatHow Brainstorm, Ponder, and card selection are fundamentally alteredWhy Bowmasters doesn't actually check the best Brainstorm decksHow asymmetrical hate narrows deck diversity instead of broadening itWhy slower blue and midrange decks are squeezed outHow Bowmasters incentivizes speed, redundancy, and linear strategiesWhy even decks not playing Bowmasters must still play around itThe difference between a strong card and a format dictatorWhether Bowmasters is a necessary correction — or a step toward homogenizationWhether you love Orcish Bowmasters or hate it, one thing is clear:Legacy revolves around it.Let us know in the comments — does Orcish Bowmasters improve Legacy, or make it worse?

All leaders-to-be face a pivotal moment where they cross over from being a valuable individual contributor to taking on the mantle of leadership. That leadership role might be informal or formal, but either way it is a quantum leap in impact. Our guest is Rob Marcus, CEO of Blue Stallion Leadership and US Army Bronze Star veteran from from Fredericksburg, VA. Across military, civilian, and personal challenges, Rob has made the leap to leader and helped hundreds of others do so with courage, clarity, and accountability. In this episode, Rob shares insights from his career journey from pizza parlors to youth sports to military counter insurgency operations. He also gives a preview of practical tactics from his book, "Crossing the Divide" that can help early career folks make that transition for themselves and/or later career leaders help others make that leap with less frustration and delays. Rob describes how often our initial solutions to problems may get the immediate job done, but don't often scale. As a leader progresses in their breadth of responsibility, its important to expand our thinking two to three steps ahead. It's also important to consider both the bottom line aspects and the humanity to make it stick and persistent across multiple team members and customer experiences. Key takeaways: Recognizing when you are approaching the leadership divide so you can navigate it better on your terms Not letting perfection block you from starting your leadership journey Critical thinking factors to consider to maintain clarity and empathy under pressure Navigating the 5 challenges that come with leadership role changes: Skill Development, Peer Relationship Dynamics, Increased Responsibilities, Team Dynamics, and Identity Transition.

https://teachhoops.com/ The philosophy of "You Are What You Teach" serves as the ultimate accountability mirror for a basketball coach, suggesting that a team's performance on Friday night is a direct reflection of the coach's priorities from Monday through Thursday. If your team consistently struggles with turnovers or poor defensive rotations, it is often a sign that those specific areas are not being emphasized with enough clarity or intensity during practice. In the heart of the January grind, it is easy to blame a lack of talent or "bad luck," but elite coaches look at their practice plans first. By acknowledging that your team's identity is forged in the drills you choose and the habits you allow, you empower yourself to make the necessary corrections to turn the season around. This principle also extends to the "soft skills" and cultural standards of your program, such as effort, resilience, and communication. If you demand a "tough" team but spend your practice time in non-contact, stagnant drills, you are sending a conflicting message. To be a "defensive-first" program, your practice schedule must reflect that by dedicating the first 45 minutes to high-intensity containment and rotation work. You must "teach" the energy you want to see by modeling it yourself—using concise, urgent language and refusing to settle for anything less than game-speed execution. When the coaching staff's actions align perfectly with their instructions, the players develop a deep sense of trust and a clear understanding of what it takes to win. Finally, "You Are What You Teach" is about the long-term legacy you build within your community. Your players will eventually forget the specific sets you ran, but they will never forget the standards of excellence and the work ethic you instilled in them. As you navigate the postseason, your team's ability to stay focused under pressure is a testament to the "mental reps" and situational coaching you provided throughout the winter. By utilizing TeachHoops member calls and AI-driven practice audits, you can ensure that your teaching remains modern, efficient, and impactful. Ultimately, your program's reputation is built on the daily habits you cultivate; when you teach with passion, precision, and purpose, you create a culture that succeeds long after the final buzzer sounds.

In this episode of the AI Agent & Copilot Podcast, John Siefert, President and Founder of AIAC, sits down with Seth Bacon, Director of Innovation at RSM, to explore how organizations can move beyond AI hype and into real, measurable value. Their conversation dives into practical adoption, industry-specific use cases, and what attendees can expect from the 2026 AI Agent & Copilot Summit NA, where real-world outcomes, not proofs of concept, take center stage.Key TakeawaysIndustry-specific use cases: Bacon highlights that outcomes, data sets, and success metrics differ dramatically between sectors like manufacturing, retail, and professional services. By showcasing real industry accelerators, the summit helps attendees see what's possible within their own vertical while also learning from how other industries solve similar problems using the same technologies.Accessible depth for every role: The summit is intentionally designed to support a wide range of maturity levels. Bacon notes that some attendees are just learning how to write better prompts, while others are orchestrating complex, multi-platform agentic systems.The power of in-person connection: While sessions provide structured learning, both speakers agree that the most impactful moments often happen outside the rooms. Bacon emphasizes that hallway conversations, meals, and informal networking create lasting relationships that extend well beyond the event. These connections give attendees trusted peers to call months later when challenges arise, making the summit not just a learning experience, but a long-term support network.

Key TakeawaysOverview: Taylor defines accessibility as the "design and provision of products, services, environments, and information that can be easily used, accessed, and understood by everyone, especially those with disabilities." At its core, it's about creating equitable experiences for all.Accessibility impacts: When noting the impacts of accessibility for organizations and businesses, Taylor explains that it offers ethical, financial, legal, and even SEO-related advantages, highlighting an overlap between accessibility best practices and search optimization. "The more accessible you're making your stuff to humans, the more accessible you're making it to machines.”Understanding the value: Helping companies understand the value of accessibility can take time, so Taylor explains that he approaches it from multiple angles, including the significant legal benefits. By ensuring products and websites comply with laws like the U.S. Rehabilitation Act and the European Accessibility Act, organizations can avoid fines, reduce legal risk, and maintain access to international markets.Accommodations: Workplace accommodations can greatly improve employee morale, productivity, and retention by giving people what they need to do their best work. As Taylor puts it, even simple adjustments can "unlock so much potential” and help organizations avoid the high costs of turnover.Learn more: Taylor describes a new podcast project that aims to educate the community about diverse disabilities while giving people a platform to share their lived experiences. The series will highlight the spectrum of experiences when it launches publicly this month. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Coppernico Metals (TSX: COPR) said it significantly expanded the known extent of surface mineralization and reinforced the scale potential of the Nioc system. Ivan Bebek, chair and CEO of Coppernico Metals, joined Mining Stock Daily on Monday to discuss the company's latest exploration results from the Sombrero Project in southern Peru. Coppernico recently reported 155 metres of continuous surface copper mineralization averaging approximately 0.5% copper at the Nioc target. Bebek explains how detailed geological mapping and channel sampling have now extended high-grade copper mineralization well beyond earlier results. Coppernico is a mineral exploration company. The company's flagship Sombrero project is a land package of approximately 56,400 hectares (564 square kilometres) located in the north-western margins of the Andahuaylas-Yauri trend in Peru. It consists of a number of prospective exploration targets characterized by copper-gold skarn and porphyry systems and precious metal epithermal systems.

Today we not only celebrate the Baptism of our Lord, but baptisms of several new members. In his message this morning, Pastor Jonathan reminds us that our baptism means that no matter what happens in our lives, we begin and end washed in God's grace. Through the highest of the good things in our lives, and the lowest of the bad things, staying focused on our baptism in God's grace keeps our lives in perspective.

Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, sat down with JLINC's Dean Landsman, Strategy and Business Development, to explore a career-spanning conversation that connects radio, telecom, and today's AI-driven communications landscape through a single unifying theme: trust. Landsman traced his professional journey from early days in radio—where understanding audiences meant far more than chasing ratings—to telecom and, ultimately, to AI governance. Along the way, he witnessed a recurring pattern: industries drifting toward commoditization, treating users and their data as interchangeable units rather than as people whose information carries meaning, context, and rights. That experience now shapes JLINC's mission in the AI era. At the center of the discussion was JLINC's role in data governance for AI workflows, particularly its integration with the emerging vCon (virtual conversation) standard. While much of today's AI governance focuses on compliance frameworks like ISO and NIST, JLINC provides the operational layer—cryptographic provenance, consent enforcement, and auditable controls—that ensures data integrity throughout an AI workflow. As Landsman explained, “We provide the guardrails that make sure what goes in is what comes out—unaltered, authorized, and trustworthy.” This capability becomes especially critical as vCons—often described as a “PDF for conversations”—are increasingly used to capture voice, text, and interaction data that may later feed AI systems, analytics platforms, or even legal proceedings. JLINC ensures that permissions, provenance, and integrity are preserved end to end, preventing errors, hallucinations, or unauthorized changes by either humans or AI systems. In regulated environments such as healthcare, finance, government, and contact centers, Landsman emphasized that this trust layer is not optional—it is foundational. As organizations grapple with growing public skepticism around AI, Landsman positioned JLINC as a practical answer to the trust question. “People are worried their words will be misrepresented or altered,” he said. “Our role is to make sure the data remains clean, provable, and respected—so AI becomes something you can actually trust.” For channel partners, carriers, and enterprises alike, the message was clear: in an AI-driven future, governance is not just about compliance—it's about confidence.

This message is a powerful invitation to return to the source—to see your life through the lens of the story God has been telling since the beginning.From competing cultural narratives to watered-down identities, we're surrounded by stories that shrink our imagination. But in Genesis, we discover a better one. Pastor David reminds us that our lives aren't defined by our past, abilities, or circumstances—but by the power and character of the God who made us.This message walks through Genesis 1 and invites us to anchor our lives in four core truths:• God is the Source• God is Good• God is Worthy of Worship• God Can Be KnownYou weren't made to drift. You were made to belong—to know God, reflect His image, and live a story rooted in meaning, beauty, and truth.

Want to know what separates an average apartment community from a memorable one?It's not the pool. It's not the gym. It's not even the upgraded finishes.It's your turn process.In today's Multifamily Operations Tip of the Day, Mike Brewer shares why the make-ready process is the clearest indicator of your brand's operational excellence. From spotless surfaces to the subtle shine of a fresh bead of caulk—every detail matters.Residents may not compliment your craftsmanship out loud, but their brains are taking notes.Move-in day impressions last. Delays, missed details, and sloppy finishes silently tell the story of disorganization and lack of care. On the flip side, a clean, on-time, on-budget turn sets the stage for long-term trust and future renewals.And Mike riffs on a personal story—straight from the early days in his career—that perfectly captures why pride in craftsmanship isn't optional. It's branding. Pure and simple.Come back tomorrow to hear three simple ways to cut your turn time in half.

 VIKING AS ACTIVITY: THE NORSE EXPANSION WESTWARD Colleague Martyn Whittock. Whittock defines "Viking" as an activity of enterprise and raiding, not just an ethnicity. He explains that disruptions in the Islamic silver trade and population growth drove Norse expansion westward. This movement eventually reached the British Isles, Iceland, and Greenland, setting the stage for voyages to North America. NUMBER 1

THE RETURN OF THE NOBLE MONARCH Colleague Gregory Copley. Gregory Copley argues that the world has reached "peak republicanism," where republics have become inefficient political battlegrounds. He defines nobility not as a class structure, but as a quality of honorable leadership that embodies the state's values. Copley suggests modern monarchies, like that of King Charles III, are reinvigorating this role by acting as apolitical symbols of unity and diplomacy, unlike elected leaders who only represent their voters.

Teachhoops.com⁠ When we think of "great coaching moments," our minds often drift to the buzzer-beaters, the championship trophies, or the net-cutting ceremonies. In this episode, however, we flip the script to discuss why the most impactful moments often happen in the quiet corners of the gym, far away from the cheering crowds. We explore the idea that your greatest success as a coach isn't always reflected on the scoreboard, but rather in the breakthrough of a struggling player or the collective resilience of a team refusing to fracture during a losing streak. We break down how to recognize and seize these fleeting opportunities before they pass you by. Whether it is a 30-second conversation in the hallway after a tough loss, a "lightbulb moment" during a defensive drill, or a display of character when no one is watching, these are the bricks that build your program's legacy. We discuss the importance of emotional intelligence and "slowing down" your coaching mind so you can spot these subtle shifts in your team's psyche and capitalize on them to build lasting trust. Finally, we talk about the long-term ROI of these moments. While X's and O's win games, it is these human connections that win hearts and build culture. We share stories of how specific, seemingly small interactions can alter a player's confidence and life path long after they have hung up their jersey. Tune in to remind yourself why you started coaching in the first place and learn how to collect these "hidden wins" throughout your season. ⁠FULL Season Access⁠ ⁠Coach Collins Coaching Store⁠ ⁠https://forms.gle/kQ8zyxgfqwUA3ChU7⁠ Check out.  [Teachhoops.com](⁠https://teachhoops.com/⁠) 14 day Free Trial Youth Basketball Coaches Podcast Apple link: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coaching-youth-hoops/id1619185302⁠ Spotify link: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0g8yYhAfztndxT1FZ4OI3A⁠ ⁠Funnel Down Defense Podcast⁠ ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/funnel-down-defense/id1593734011⁠ Want More ⁠Funnel Down Defense⁠ ⁠https://coachcollins.podia.com/funnel-down-defense⁠ [Facebook Group .

Jeff Wald, author of The End of Jobs and CEO of WorkMarket, examines how robots and AI are creating the fourth industrial revolution—a massive power shift from workers to companies that mirrors past technological upheavals. Drawing from labor history, on-demand platforms, and regulatory battles like California Prop 22, Wald reveals why the lifetime employment contract was always a myth with average job tenure at 5 years in 1960 and 4.2 years today. He introduces the hard tech vs. hard human framework: thriving in automation requires either technical skills like software, AI, and data or human skills that machines cannot replicate such as creativity, empathy, and sales. Wald unpacks how income inequality, personal responsibility, and opportunity gaps threaten societal stability, why unions must reinvent themselves through movements like Fight for 15, and how lifelong learning became non-negotiable when skills now decay within 4-6 years instead of lasting a 30-year career.

“Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” was a radical concept for the Founding Fathers. How did they get there? Walter Isaacson joins host Krys Boyd to discuss how one sentence in the Declaration of Independence set out a promise of America, how Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and John Adams wrestled with its crafting, and how we can still use these words as our common values in a polarized nation today. His book is “The Greatest Sentence Ever Written.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
