THE (MAGAZINE) DOCTOR IS IN — Megan Schertler wants to help you make magazines. Yes, you … and you … and you too. But she also wants to ensure that once you make a magazine, you make another one. And then one after that. She wants to make sure that you know it's not easy to create a magazine or to run one or to publish a second one or to sustain a magazine or media brand or to run a business. Megan is big on print. She's one of those extremely rare people who's held down numerous magazine jobs while never working on the digital side of things. Yes, really. People like her exist. So she knows more than many her age that print is more engaging, produces more loyalty, and creates a deeper and more meaningful connection with the message on the page than any other medium. And so with her partners, Megan now helms In Real Life Media to help would-be magazine makers sure, but also some of the world's largest brands navigate the realities of the magazine world. Because while we all love print here, it's hard, it's expensive, and it is, quite frankly, a pain in the ass. But it also results in something glorious, and Megan travels the world speaking at conferences and to people like me to spread the word.. — This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

Microsoft lawsuit loss, Steam refund controversy, One Piece scalper chaos, PS6 handheld speculation, gaming pickups, and a Popcorn Rocket PS4 review.

From new finds to ongoing playthroughs, the duo breaks down what's been keeping their controllers busy. The news segment kicks off with Microsoft's latest legal setback as the company lost a lawsuit in a Brazilian court, raising questions about regional regulation and platform responsibility. They then shift to Steam's refund policies for games under the one‑hour return limit, highlighting a recent developer's experience that sparked debate about fairness, abuse, and consumer protection. Next, the conversation moves to Japan, where scalpers purchased One Piece magazines en masse due to a promotional card — another example of collectible culture colliding with opportunistic reselling. The guys then explore a big speculative question: Is the PS6 going digital‑only because it will be a handheld? They break down rumors, hardware trends, and whether Sony's future might lean toward a hybrid device. To wrap up the episode, the Inflation Deflation Game of the Week features a review of Popcorn Rocket on PS4, as John and Ryan evaluate the quirky title's gameplay, charm, and current market value.

Zusammen mit seiner Frau Martha Strobel kuratierte Jacob Strobel, Professor für Holzgestaltung, Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau, Fakultät Angewandte Kunst Schneeberg, die Ausstellung „Der ungesehene Designklassiker“ im Industriemuseums Chemnitz. Sogar ein Film mit dem nüchternen Titel „Stuhl EW 1192“ entstand rund um das beliebte Sitzmöbel und wurde begleitend zur Ausstellung gezeigt. Die Geschichte dahinter: Dem Möbeldesigner Jacob Strobel, in Würzburg geboren und einst Student in Schneeberg, fiel im Laufe der Jahre immer wieder ein bestimmter Küchenstuhl in die Hände, der ihn faszinierte Minimalistische Form, erinnernd an skandinavisches Design, hoher Sitzkomfort. Er stand in nahezu jeder Küche im Osten Deutschlands, doch keiner wußte woher er kam, wer ihn entworfen hatte. Nach vielen Jahren als Designer und Produktmanager in Österreich, auf internationalen Möbelmessen präsent und mit eigenen preisgekrönten Stuhlentwürfen versehen, kehrte Jacob Strobel 2015 als Professor für Holzgestaltung an die Fakultät Angewandte Kunst nach Schneeberg zurück und stieß erneut auf den Küchenstuhl EW 1192, der ihm noch immer außerordentlich gefiel. Er begann zu forschen und bat „Freie Presse“ - Leser um Mithilfe. Sein Email-Fach quoll in kürzester Zeit über, viele rührende Erzählungen kamen zutage. Im Stuhlmuseum im sächsischen Rabenau fanden sich zudem Unterlagen die bezeugten, daß der Vierbeiner aus dem Entwurfsbüro Waldheim stammt. Von 1954 bis 1989 wurden dort Sitz- und Polstermöbel für die industrielle Fertigung entworfen. Prägender Kopf war der Formgestalter Horst Heyder, einer der bedeutendsten Möbel-Designer der DDR. Ihm und seinem Kollektiv wird der Entwurf des am meisten gekauften und genutzten Küchenstuhls von einst zugeschrieben und der nun eine Renaissance erfährt. Jacob Strobel hatte selbst einst eine Vision von einem Stuhl: Ein Lounge-Chair ohne Polster, der flexibel sein sollte, einen Komfort besitzen, den man nicht sehen, aber spüren sollte. Der Stuhl „lux“ wurde der Abschluß seiner Diplom-Arbeit und Beginn seines Berufseinstiegs. In Würzburg wurde Jacob Strobel 1978 geboren. Von 1999 bis 2002 absolvierte er eine Ausbildung zum Schreiner/ Tischler bei seinem Onkel in der Schreinerei Strobel. Von 2002 bis 2007 nahm er ein Studium der Holzgestaltung an der Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau, Fakultät Angewandte Kunst Schneeberg auf. 2004 studierte er ein Jahr an der Gray`s School Of Art in Aberdeen an der schottischen Nordseeküste 3D Design und nahm anschließend eine Assistenz im Studio Christian Haas auf. Von 2007 bis 2008 war Jacob Strobel Designer und Produktmanager von TEAM 7 in Österreich und von 2008 bis 2015 dort Head of Design. Anschließend und bis heute ist er freischaffender Möbeldesigner. Er erhielt jeweils mehrfach den Red Dot Design Award, den Designerpreis der Bundesrepublik nominee, den German Design Award nominee und den Interior Innovation Award.

Wendy Glaister joins Eric G for a lively chat about the art of interior design, where we dive into the nitty-gritty of how designers pinpoint your unique style and aesthetic. Picture this: you've just bought a new home, and the walls are blank canvases just waiting for your personal touch. But wait! You have no idea what your style actually is. That's where the magic of a designer comes in. Wendy emphasizes that each person has their own design aesthetic, but often they struggle to articulate it. She shares her fascinating process, which includes sifting through inspiration photos with clients to discover hidden preferences that might not be immediately obvious. It's like a treasure hunt, only instead of gold doubloons, you find out that you really love mid-century teak furniture paired with industrial chic lighting. Who knew?! As we giggle our way through the episode, Wendy reveals that the biggest challenge for designers is often to ensure that their personal style doesn't overshadow the client's vision. She recounts her own experiences with clients, where she plays detective, figuring out what they truly love. It's a delicate balance of guiding without imposing, and Wendy's insights are not just valuable for designers, but also for homeowners who might feel overwhelmed by decision fatigue. We touch on the importance of working with a designer to avoid costly mistakes—like painting a room three times before landing on the right shade. Trust me, no one wants to live through that drama! By the end of our chat, we've uncovered the beauty of collaboration in design. Wendy stresses that a good designer will always prioritize the client's needs and aspirations, making the process enjoyable rather than stressful. So whether you're a first-time homeowner or someone looking to refresh your space, the takeaway is clear: don't hesitate to bring in a designer who values your vision. After all, your home should reflect you, not someone else's Pinterest board!Takeaways:Interior designers have a unique ability to uncover your personal aesthetic, even when you can't articulate it yourself.The conversation emphasizes the joy of collaboration between homeowners and designers to create spaces that truly reflect individual styles.Designers aim to make their clients' visions a priority, ensuring the final outcome is uniquely theirs, not a reflection of the designer's own tastes.Finding a designer who understands your needs is essential; the right relationship can transform your home into a space you'll love for years to come.Trends in design shift rapidly, and what's 'in' today could be 'out' tomorrow, making timeless choices essential for long-term satisfaction.Investing in quality design and furnishings pays off, as it not only enhances your space but also saves you money in the long run by avoiding costly mistakes.Links referenced in this episode:AroundtheHouseOnline.comWendyGlasterInteriors.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:REIHouzzTurlockGalerie FinesseUrbaniteThanks for listening to Around the house if you want to hear more please subscribe so you get notified of the latest episode as it posts at https://around-the-house-with-e.captivate.fm/listenIf you want to join the Around the House Insider for access to the back catalog, Exclusive Content and a direct email to Eric G and access to the show early https://around-the-house-with-e.captivate.fm/support We love comments and we would love reviews on how this information has helped you on your house!

A designer with 20+ years of experience sits in front of twelve competent, AI-generated screens... and can't evaluate a single one. Not because they're bad. Because something is missing. And the same thing happened to me.In this episode, I investigate this case like a detective story: What was taken from us? Who took it? The answer turned out to be the most hopeful thing I've learned about design in years, disguised as a crisis. Because the comps were never the design. The comps are the artifact. The design is the model in your head, and no tool can generate it.In this episode:The mystery: why the most trained design judgment goes offline in front of good AI output (and why "AI output is slop" is the wrong explanation)The three suspects: the AI, the speed, and the surprising real culpritWhy "the back-and-forth builds the model": the experiment that proves your value was never in the pixelsThe cold case behind it all: how we spent 20 years selling the first three rounds, and why that gap just closed foreverThe stakes ladder: what happens when a designer, a team, or a whole organization over-trusts AI outputTaste redefined: deciding, not decorating, and why having no opinion defaults to the averageThe open question: if artifacts are cheap, is the "living transcript" the design deliverable of the future?Your homework: five questions before pixelsResources mentioned:Christopher Noessel "Design Was Never the Comps: What I learned when Claude Design dumped a dozen screens on me"https://christophernoessel.medium.com/design-was-never-the-comps-what-i-learned-when-claude-design-dumped-a-dozen-screens-on-me-73893af464aeChristopher Noessel "RationaleBot: Why design's near-future deliverable is a living transcript"https://christophernoessel.medium.com/rationalebot-why-designs-near-future-deliverable-is-a-living-transcript-c70613215359Christopher Noessel — "Get Claude Design to present like a consultant" (follow-up with the practical prompt)https://christophernoessel.medium.com/get-claude-design-to-present-like-a-consultant-6bf22261717fRoger Wong "A Sunday Afternoon with Claude Design" (the squiggly line, Picasso's nine Guernica studies)https://rogerwong.me/2026/04/sunday-afternoon-claude-designAnthony Wood (House of gAi) "Claude Design Came for the First Three Rounds.

Warum ausgerechnet Bremen? Liebeserklärungen sind ja meist tief in einem selbst begründet. Also folgt mir nach Bremen. Vorgeschichte 1984: Da bin ich (fast) jeden Montag mit dem IC (das drangehängte E gab's noch nicht) von Frankfurt nach Norden gefahren, um am Dienstagmorgen „Bremen und Umzu“ aus dem Radio heraus zu wecken. 6-9 Uhr, Hansawelle. Ich habe Bremen geliebt und es gleichzeitig nie richtig kennengelernt. Der „Rück-Zug“ ging nämlich meist um 11 Uhr, manchmal schon um 9 Uhr 56. So hab ich die Liebe zu einer Stadt vertan. Okay, mag man sagen: „Er war jung und brauchte das Geld“, da kann man sich Gefühlsduselei nicht leisten. Stimmt: Radio Bremen, genauer die Norddeutsche Funkwerbung, zahlte hervorragend. Aber was auch stimmt, war das Gefühl in Bremen irgendwas verpasst zu haben. Jetzt, 42 Jahre später, war ich endlich wieder dort.  Es war kein Zurückkehren, sondern eher der Versuch eine „neue Liebe“ zu finden. Mehr darf man da auch nicht erwarten. Ob es geklappt hat? Hört selber. Im Podcast ist das alles festgehalten. Moin Bremen! Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Immerhin wusste ich Eins aus der Erinnerung: Bremen ist kein Ziel für einen Tag oder eine Nacht. Deshalb habe ich endlich einmal gleich mehrere Tage daraus gemacht. Kritische Geister werden vielleicht anmerken, das könne doch nie eine Liebesgeschichte werden. Letztlich sei diese akustische Story auch nur ein Stadtporträt. Stimmt, aber eine, die versucht sich auf das Stadtgefühl einzulassen. Mit meinen Gefühl, meiner ganz normalen Wahrnehmung und meiner subjektiven Intelligenz. Letztere ist übrigens nicht künstlich. Ich hoffe, nein ich weiß, das hört man Dieser Podcast ist so eigenwillig wie lang. Letzteres bedingt Ersteres. Ich habe viel zugehört und deshalb kommen die Akteur:innen auch ausführlich zu Wort. Neugierde braucht Zeit. Ich habe sie mir genommen und hoffe, Ihr belohnt dies mit Eurer Zeit fürs Zuhören. Facts & Gefühl Bremer Himmel – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Der Podcast wird deshalb auf dieser Seite nicht „nacherzählt“. Hören ist deshalb unerlässlich! Ergänzt wird er auf dieser Seite mit den wichtigsten Facts, um die Story nachempfinden zu können. Ortsangaben, Sehens- und Fühlenswertes, belegt mit Fotos und Links, um (hoffentlich) Eure persönliche Zuneigung zu entwickeln. Viel Spaß beim Hören, denn dafür werden Podcasts gemacht. “Die gute Stube” Mein fachkundiger Begleiter durch Bremen, City-Guide Hendrik Pröhl; hat den Bremer Markt so genannt. Hier ist das Zentrum und hier habe auch ich angefangen, Bremen neu zu entdecken. Gute Stube: Roland, Rathaus, Dom – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Rathaus, Roland, Dom und Bürgerschaft: All diese Dinge haben eine Adresse: Am Markt, 28195 Bremen Nur der Dom macht eine Ausnahme. Dessen Adresse lautet “Am Dom”. Ach was?! Bremische Bürgerschaft – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Letztlich gehen die beiden großen Plätze ineinander über und beherbergen zudem noch das Gebäude der Bremischen Bürgerschaft, dem quasi Landtag der Freien Hansestadt Bremen, zu der ja auch noch die Stadt Bremerhaven gehört. Die Stadtmusikanten Sie sind in Bremen überall gut vertreten. Und tauchen auch nochmal im Kapitel Kunst & Kultur auf. Hauptanziehungspunkt ist aber das Denkmal der Bremer Stadtmusikanten, gleich links neben dem Rathaus. Offizielle Adresse: Schoppensteel 1. An Tagen mit schönem Wetter, sieht man in der Regel die Menschenansammlung, wenn man um die Ecke biegt. Stadtmusikanten-Denkmal von Gerhard Marcks – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Die Stadtmusikanten kann man aber nicht nur sehen und anfassen, sondern auch hören. Das geht am Bremer Loch. Das Bremer Loch auf dem Markt -Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Die Geschichte der Stadtmusikanten stammt aus der Märchensammlung der Brüder Grimm. Die Geschichte hat für Bremen nur leider einen kleinen Haken: Die Tiere kommen nie in Bremen an. Eine Variante, die der Bremer Verleger Horst Temmen vor Jahren in der Autorenfunktion des Kinderbuchautors Janosch auf den Markt gebracht hat, löst genau dieses Problem. Wie müsstet Ihr selber nachlesen. Bemerkenswert: Die „neue“ Geschichte gibt es in über 20 Sprachen. Janoschs Stadtmusikanten bei “Edition Temmen”  – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Die Stadtmusikanten verfolgen mich im Übrigen auch noch durch diverse Museen der Stadt (siehe weiter unten). Böttcherstraße Wer beim Besuch in Bremen nicht dort war, hat etwas verpasst. Erfahrt alles über die wechselhafte Geschichte dieser traditionellen Straße, des Neubaus der Böttcherstraße zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts und über die Museen, die Läden, das Glockenspiel und den von Ludwig Roselius per Zufall erfundenen Kaffee HAG. Der Eingang zur Böttcherstraße – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Bemerkenswert ist auch die Geschichte von der Rettung der damals frisch gebauten Böttcherstraße vor den Nazis. Ein nachträglich 1936 angebrachtes Kunstwerk, das heute noch den Eingang ziert, konnte den ideologisch begründeten Abriss verhindern. Ideologische Rettung der Böttcherstraße vor den Nazis: Der Lichtbringer – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Wer genau hinsieht, wird den von den kleinen Figuren, die das gerettete deutsche Volk zeigen sollen, gezeigten Hitlergruß erkennen. Paula Moderson-Becker: Becoming Paula – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Besonders sehenswert sind neben den Museen für Paula Modersohn-Becker, Ludwig Roselius und Gestalter Bernhard Hoetger, das beliebte Glockenspiel aus Meißner Porzellan, das Roselius gestiftet hatte. Meißner Glockenspiel in der Böttcherstraße – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Die Straße hat zudem weitere Läden, ein Kino, Restaurants und Bars. Ein Besuch lohnt damit zu jeder Tageszeit. Kaffeepause Kaffee ist bis heute ein wichtiger Wirtschaftszweig in Bremen. Im Johann-Jakobs-Haus kann man nicht nur die Geschichte einer „Kaffeefamilie“ nachvollziehen. Es gibt dort inzwischen auch eine Rösterei von Spezialitätenkaffees, das Angebot von Kaffeeseminaren und ein Café im Innenhof bei der ehemaligen Bremer Stadtwaage. Hört dazu auch den Bremer Reiseradio-Kaffee-Podcast. Talk zwischen Röstung, Kaffeesäcken und Filtern – Foto: Andeas Behr / Johann-Jacobs-Haus Die Alternativen Wer in der Innenstadt unterwegs ist findet zahlreiche Möglichkeiten für eine genüssliche Pause auf dem Marktplatz und in den Seitenstraßen. Empfehlenswert ist sicher die „Schüttinger Gasthausbrauerei“. Dort warten nicht nur hausgemachte Biere, sondern auch lokale Bremer Spezialitäten. Außerdem kann man im „Spitzen Gebel“ die Bremer Kneipentaufe erleben.

Abends, insbesondere im Sommer, ist hier immer etwas los. Schlachte und Weserpromenade – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Besonderer Anziehungspunkt ist der Dreimaster „Alexander von Humboldt“, bekanntgeworden vor vielen Jahren, als der Segler aus der Bierwerbung.

Und das Viertel ist wohl der echteste Teil der echten Altstadt. Es wartet richtig Altes, von Bausubstanz bis Tradition. Heute ist das Viertel wohl der größte Anziehungspunkt für Touristen mit seinen Läden, Kneipen, Restaurants, dem Teestübchen und dem kleinsten Hotel der Welt, dem Hochzeitshaus.

Zu erwähnen sind das Bremer Packhaustheater, das Institut für niederdeutsche Sprache und, gerade wird Jubiläum gefeiert, das Bremer Geschichtenhaus. Geschichten über Geschichte Bremer Geschichtenhaus – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Im Schnoor befindet sich das Geschichtenhaus mitten in der Enge der „Wüste Stätte“ in einem stattlichen Gebäude, einem alten Lagerhaus. Aber was ist das Geschichtenhaus: Museum? Theater? Kultur- oder gar Sozialprodukt? Wie auch immer, es lohnt sich das Geschichtenhaus zu besuchen.

Es ist gewissermaßen die Bremer Kulturmeile. Es mag schwerfallen, sich das subjektiv Richtige herauszusuchen. „Stattreisen Bremen“ bietet deshalb eine „Tour de Kultur“ zum Reinschnuppern an. Wilhelm Wagenfeld Haus Bauhaus: Die “Wagenfeld-Lampe” – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Das Wilhelm-Wagenfeld-Haus ist in der Hauptsache dem großen Designkünstler gewidmet.

Episode 100 is here, and I am recording it on my iPhone from a makeshift desk in Bangkok, where I am living and running my whole business for the next four months. Three years ago I turned on a microphone with no plan and no idea if I would make it to episode 10. This one is not a highlight reel. It is 10 things that 100 episodes have taught me, and more than anything, it is a thank you.In this episode:It did not start as a podcast Episode one was never meant to air. Why you do not have to have it all figured out to begin, and how to start messy.Slower served everyone better Why I moved from weekly to two episodes a month, and how the pace that gets recommended to you is not always the right one.Value your time, not just your work The year of no, why boundaries protect your time, and why I choose the word value over worth.I learned to love the quiet How solitude went from something I avoided to the thing I would protect first.Shut up and listen What 100 guest conversations taught me about listening, choosing whose advice to take home, and why not all advice is good advice.Build it so it runs without you The Bangkok lesson. A business that cannot run without you is not freedom, it is a job you cannot quit. Build your systems now.AI is the taskmaster, I am still the brain How I actually use AI in my business, where I leaned in too hard early on, and why nothing hits the public eye without me.I am not here to yap Why the loudest voice in the room is not always the one worth your time.Free does not mean it costs nothing A personal ask about feedback, and why we should tell the baker the bread was good.You don't have to do any of this The one I most want you to hear. Take what serves you and leave the rest.If these 100 episodes have given you anything, here is the birthday gift that helps most: leave a review and set the podcast to download automatically.

As mom, leader, and business owner you wear many hats. Add high achiever to that, and you increase the risk of anxiety. But that doesn't have to hold you back from success. Anxiety is a constant companion for many individuals, particularly those balancing leadership roles and personal responsibilities. Realization of anxiety Anxiety isn't always a familiar concept for everyone. For some, the realization comes later in life after experiencing it for years. Facing the Highs and Lows of Entrepreneurship Being an entrepreneur and building a business isn't all sunshine and unicorns. Balancing Family and Business Managing a business while raising a family introduces a unique experience with anxiety and stress. Navigating Anxiety and using it as a motivational force Anxiety often serves as a hidden driver for many leaders and entrepreneurially-minded moms in leadership roles. Learning and Growth: Tools for Navigating Anxiety Navigating anxiety involves personal growth and adopting effective management strategies. Embracing Community and Connection Building a supportive community is crucial for women in leadership. Reimagining living with anxiety For many, anxiety plays an integral, if complex, role in life.

AI can generate code faster, but that does not make software delivery simple. It shifts the pressure to requirements, architecture, review, and technical judgment.Goncalo Silva, CTO at Doist, explains how AI is changing the way teams behind Todoist and Twist build software. He shares why greater individual autonomy has led to more collaboration, why deep expertise still matters, and how faster execution is reshaping product delivery, project planning, and engineering hiring.What Leaders Can Take From This• Faster code generation makes strong planning and clear requirements more important, not less important.• Designers, product leaders, and engineers can work from richer prototypes, but production systems still need experienced technical judgment.• Engineering capacity does not have to move into other functions. Teams can use it to improve reliability, performance, quality, and the amount of valuable work they ship.• Token counts are a weak measure of progress. Doist looks at team feedback and whether projects are staying on track.• Engineering interviews need to test architecture, decision making, curiosity, and depth, not simply whether a candidate can produce working code.Approximate Highlights00:00 Meet GonCalo Silva and the products behind Doist02:00 How broadly AI is being used across Doist04:15 Why greater autonomy has brought teams closer together09:45 Where nontechnical coding works, and where it creates risk17:50 How AI compressed a major refactoring effort by 20 to 30 times25:05 Measuring AI value without counting tokens30:20 Why faster execution requires more up front planning34:50 How Doist changed its engineering interview processOne Line That Stuck“We are the bottleneck.

God gave Adam and Eve one rule in the Garden of Eden, and they still broke it. It is one of the earliest and most honest portraits of the human heart — born with a tendency to rebel, resistant to authority, and quick to view any restriction as an unwelcome constraint on personal freedom. And yet a world without rules, as this episode thoughtfully demonstrates, is not a world of freedom at all. It is a world on its way to self-destruction. The rules God gives us are not arbitrary restrictions. They are the guidelines of a Designer who knows exactly how we were made and what conditions allow us to flourish. Just as a vehicle's owner's manual is written for the benefit of the driver, Scripture's commands are written for our protection and our good. The Law given to the Israelites after four hundred years of slavery was not bondage — it was the very thing that made genuine freedom possible, teaching a people who had never governed themselves how to live and how to relate to God. Deuteronomy 5:33 frames obedience not as a burden but as a pathway: walk in obedience to all that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper. Obedience rooted in love is not a heavy yoke. It is a natural and grateful response to a God who has already shown us favor and who always has our best interests at heart. Today's Bible Verse "Walk in obedience to all that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess."— Deuteronomy 5:33, NIV Ponder Today God's rules are for our protection, not our restriction. Just as traffic laws prevent deaths and medical standards protect patients, God's commands create boundaries that keep us from the chaos and destruction we would bring on ourselves without them. To obey is better than sacrifice. First Samuel 15:22 makes clear that God is less interested in religious performance than in a heart that genuinely submits to His authority. Obedience is the truest form of worship. Obedience should never be a transaction. We do not obey so that God will show us favor. We obey because He already has. Gratitude, not bargaining, is the proper foundation for a life of faithful obedience. Love is the most powerful motivator for obedience. We naturally obey those we love, trust, and respect. The more we contemplate what God has done for us, the more our love and trust grow, and the more naturally obedience follows. A Prayer for You Today Lord, we give thanks for Your wisdom in establishing rules and boundaries for us to follow, for our own good and for the good of others. We are grateful that when we obey, You bless us exponentially as we dive deeper into our relationship with You each day. Help us to see Your commands not as a heavy yoke but as an expression of Your love and protection. May our obedience flow not from obligation but from a heart that is genuinely grateful for all You have already done. In Your mighty name, Amen. Don't Miss an Episode If today's prayer stirred a fresh desire to walk more closely in step with God's commands, we'd love to stay connected.

But halfway through the year, it is easy for the old ways to sneak back in. In this episode, I'm talking about the mid-year reset so many designers need, especially when you are tired from being “on” for clients, contractors, vendors, family, and the business itself. This is not about creating a massive new plan but taking a breath, looking honestly at what is working, what needs to be refined, and what needs to be removed before you carry it into the second half of the year.Want to connect with me?Instagram: @pameladurkinWebsite: www.pamela-durkin.com

Noam Segal is a longtime research leader across Airbnb, Meta, Twitter, Zapier, Intercom, and Figma, a certified coach, AI builder, and my community research lead. Together, we run the annual Tech Worker Sentiment Survey, now in its second year and one of the largest of its kind: a quantitative study of how people in tech actually feel about their jobs, AI, burnout, and the future of their careers. This year's survey captured responses from thousands of workers across product, engineering, design, research, marketing, data, and sales, and the results are striking.In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:1. Why AI has split the tech workforce almost exactly in half—one half that's thriving, another that's shaken2. The four emotional archetypes defining tech workers right now (the Energized, the Conflicted, the Disoriented, and the Resentful)3. Why burnout has jumped an alarming 11 points in a single year4. Why nobody in tech would recommend their job to someone entering the industry today5. The #1 fear in tech right now (it's not job loss to AI)6. Why managers are the single biggest lever for employee well-being7.

THE PRIME OF MR. NEVILLE BRODY — “Once you have broken down the rules, literally anything is possible.'” In the business of magazine design, few names resonate as profoundly as Neville Brody. And, to this day, he lives by those words.  Renowned for his groundbreaking work and commitment to pushing design boundaries at magazines like The Face, Arena, Per Lui, and others, Brody is a true auteur in the world of design. We talked to him at the launch of his spectacular new monograph, The Graphic Language of Neville Brody 3. Nurtured on 1970s British punk music, which rejected anything that appeared self-indulgent or overwrought, Brody found the perfect launch pad at The Face, the London-based music, fashion, and culture monthly, created by editor Nick Logan in 1980. The Face inspired an array of fellow magazine rule-breakers, including the late Tibor Kalman, David Carson, and Fabien Baron, who calls Brody's work “powerful, aggressive, and simple.” Since then, Brody's journey in graphic design has been marked by a relentless, almost unforgiving pursuit of innovation. His magazine design challenged conventional norms and redefined visual storytelling. Brody's design approach is characterized by a rejection of conventional grid systems and editorial hierarchies, and a willingness to break free from established design rules. And he thinks magazines today are missing a giant opportunity: “That's the beauty of print, that you can't achieve in the same way digitally. Digital is so commoditized. We're not expressing content anymore. We're just delivering it. Neville Brody's legacy in magazine design lies in his fearless approach to challenging the status quo and his ability to capture the zeitgeist of his time. By pushing the boundaries of traditional graphic design, he not only influenced the look and feel of magazines but also inspired a generation of designers to embrace innovation, experimentation, and a spirit of creative rebellion. Brody's work continues to be celebrated for its enduring impact on the evolution of graphic design and its role in shaping the visual language of contemporary media.

We discuss mixing interior styles. What works and what doesn't. There is a world of choices, but putting it all together can be tricky. Our interior designer expert gives us a simple guide that will help us bring it all together. That's all for this episode, so don't miss it. 

À Montréal, Steven Jambot est allé rencontrer Philippe Lamarre, cofondateur d'Urbania, un média de société qui s'est donné pour mission de « rendre l'ordinaire extraordinaire ». Créé en 2003 sous la forme d'un magazine indépendant, Urbania est devenu un groupe diversifié présent au Québec mais aussi en France. Il vient d'ailleurs de racheter le studio de podcast français Binge audio. Dans cet entretien, il est question d'audace, de storytelling et de souveraineté culturelle. « Ça a toujours été notre ambition d'être une sorte de TV5 Monde jeune et cool. » Philippe Lamarre, cofondateur d'Urbania, résume ainsi l'énergie qui anime ce groupe média québécois aujourd'hui solidement implanté des deux côtés de l'Atlantique. L'enjeu est de taille : dans un paysage médiatique dominé par les algorithmes des GAFAM (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft), comment faire exister une culture francophone originale et indépendante ? Pour Philippe Lamarre, la réponse réside dans la capacité à créer des ponts entre les territoires et les formats, tout en restant fidèle à la promesse d'Urbania : « rendre l'ordinaire extraordinaire ». Un magazine pour développper un storytelling Tout commence à Montréal, en 2003. Designer de formation, Philippe Lamarre avoue une « difficulté à se faire dire quoi faire dans la vie ». Après avoir lancé son agence de création, il crée Urbania sur un coup de tête, mû par une véritable « allergie à l'autorité ». L'idée ? Un magazine thématique qui pose un regard « anthropologique » sur la ville, loin des sentiers battus et des vedettes. Le succès actuel du groupe repose sur une expertise peaufinée depuis les débuts : le storytelling – l'art de raconter des histoires, en bon français. Philippe Lamarre se plaît à rappeler : « Notre slogan de rendre l'ordinaire extraordinaire, c'est qu'on prend des choses qui semblent banales [...] et on essaie de les raconter de façon captivante. » Il cite comme inspirations le magazine Colors de Benetton ou l'émission documentaire belge Strip-tease. Aujourd'hui, Urbania est une « machine » diversifiée de plus de 100 collaborateurs répartis entre Montréal et Paris. Le groupe s'appuie sur plusieurs piliers : une unité éditoriale, un studio de création de contenus pour les marques (branded content), une maison de production audiovisuelle et un laboratoire technologique. Il accompagne aussi des influenceurs dans le développement de leurs contenus. Cette structuration permet au groupe de rester indépendant financièrement : « On veut faire de l'argent pour raconter plus d'histoires », martèle Philippe Lamarre. La conquête de la France et la conviction du podcast C'est en 2020 qu'Urbania a franchi l'océan pour s'installer à Paris. L'objectif n'était pas d'exporter un produit québécois, mais de bâtir un « cousin français » avec des équipes locales et une ambition commune. À écouter aussiComment Urbania France veut informer autrement En mars 2026, le groupe a franchi une étape majeure en rachetant Binge Audio, le studio de podcast français qui produit notamment Les Couilles sur la table ou Programme B, alors en redressement judiciaire. Ce rachat vise à créer un « pont entre les podcasts et l'audiovisuel ». Il est « stratégique », assure Philippe Lamarre, qui croit fermement que la frontière entre les formats s'efface : « Le podcast, de plus en plus, devient un médium audiovisuel parce que les podcasts sont maintenant des vidéos. Donc la frontière entre les genres et les formats est en train de s'abattre. » En outre, l'audio offre une fidélité d'audience précieuse dans un monde de consommation rapide et morcelée. Mais le regard de Philippe Lamarre se tourne vers l'ensemble de l'espace francophone, notamment l'Afrique et Haïti. Son rêve pour les dix prochaines années ? « Fédérer une espèce de communauté de gens anticonformistes qui ont envie de bousculer l'ordre établi et qui s'adonnent à être francophones ». Ouvrir des bureaux à Dakar ou Abidjan fait déjà partie d'hypothèses de travail. Souffler sur les braises de la souveraineté numérique Au-delà de son entreprise, Philippe Lamarre s'implique dans le débat public au Québec. Il a coprésidé un groupe de travail sur l'avenir de la culture et de l'audiovisuel québécois, remettant en 2025 un rapport dont il a proposé le titre : Souffler sur les braises. Le constat est le suivant : face au numérique qui a abattu les frontières, la culture francophone risque de s'effriter si elle ne se prend pas en main. Il pointe notamment du doigt l'impact de la loi C-18 au Canada, qui a conduit Meta (Facebook et Instagram) à bloquer les contenus d'actualité sur ses plateformes. Pour lui, la solution passe par une reprise de contrôle de la distribution : inciter les audiences à s'abonner directement aux infolettres ou aux applications des médias pour ne plus dépendre des plateformes. Pour l'avenir, Philippe Lamarre explore aussi le potentiel de l'Intelligence Artificielle (IA). Chez Urbania, un responsable accompagne les équipes pour s'épargner les tâches répétitives et aider les créateurs à mieux distribuer leurs contenus. « L'intelligence artificielle brise le coût de fabrication du contenu. Mais il faut trouver une manière de créer des outils où on garde le contrôle de la relation avec les audiences », explique clairement Philippe Lamarre. À ceux qui voudraient suivre ses traces d'entrepreneur des médias, Philippe Lamarre conseille de faire preuve de « persévérance », de savoir s'entourer de gens « meilleurs [qu'eux] » et de continuer à se retrousser les manches, chaque matin. Tant qu'à faire, pour raconter des histoires extraordinaires ?

In this episode, recorded in the lounge of the Halderman Mustang Museum in Tipp City, Ohio, John and Mike sit down with a longtime local Mustang owner and fan to hear the story of how she came across a random chance to meet the late Gale Halderman, the principal designer of the original Mustang. Carol Ratermann had shared her “How I Got to Meet Gale Halderman” story with John after Gale's daughter, Karen, had hosted a Cruise-In event at the Halderman Barn Museum in early May. Carol revealed that years ago, she happened to enjoy a dinner night out with her husband at one of Gale's favorite local restaurants, the Carriage Inn in nearby Enon, Ohio, at the same time Gale was there dining with a group of friends. Wait until you hear how seeing Halderman's famed Concept Sketch on display at the eatery had sparked a conversation with the restaurant owner and brought an unexpected introduction. We hope you enjoy hearing Carol's memorable tale as much as we did – because Everyone Has a Mustang Story. It's just that not everyone gets the chance to meet a Mustang celebrity as historically significant as Gale Halderman. Our thanks to Karen for inviting Carol out to the Barn Lounge to meet up with us – and our thanks to all of you who click “Like” and “Subscribe” to the Mustang Owner's Podcast! #mustang #ford #fordmustang

In this episode of the Uploft Interior Design, I take you behind the scenes of my busy summer, balancing family life with a full client schedule while training a talented new interior designer. I share stories from recent design consultations, including helping clients overcome the challenge of envisioning new furniture layouts and creating more functional, beautiful spaces. Along the way, I discuss current design trends I'm seeing everywhere—from warm neutrals, green accents, and fluted wood to the growing influence of AI-generated inspiration—and explain why I believe function should always come before symmetry. I also answer thoughtful questions from my trainee about evaluating floor plans, exploring multiple layout options, and why it's important to start every design with the essential furniture pieces before focusing on decorative details. Whether you're designing your own home or considering a career in interior design, I hope these behind-the-scenes insights help you approach every space with more confidence and creativity.

Well this is a different episode from the normal things we get into on WP Builds. It's about the intersection of human creativity and AI, sparked by a handmade zine (I did not know what that was) titled "Human Creativity in the Age of AI." Tess talks about the emotional and practical significance of creative processes versus AI-generated output. We explore how AI is 'democratising' access to creative tools, the shifting definition of art, and the ethical concerns around replacing human skills. Then there's the whole thing about the value of human ideas, imperfection, and individuality, even as AI capabilities rapidly advance and reshape artistic expression. Like I say, not your typical WP Builds podcast episode, but fun nonetheless!

After a week off due to bad public transit, the boys are back for another episode of controversy in college football! But first, they had to finish up the logos of the MAC because Kev is an idiot, before diving into EA adding microtransactions into Road to Glory and Dynasty modes of CFB 27. Later, they discussed the Big 12 selling out a corporate sponsor in Monster Energy (bad), and Wisconsin selling out to a corporate sponsor in Culver's (good). They would then discuss the latest uniform changes for Penn State, Nebraska, Northwestern, Notre Dame, and Georgia Tech, as well as the South Carolina garnet to crimson controversy. Finally, the boys dove into the Sun Belt logo history, and Kev said something so bad about one of the school's logos he had to actually edit an episode!

What if one of the most powerful indicators of your overall health wasn't found in your blood—but in your sperm? Jeyla Sadikova, founder of Illumicell AI, is here to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming fertility medicine and why male reproductive health may become one of the most important biomarkers in preventative healthcare. We discuss the alarming worldwide decline in fertility, why nearly half of male infertility may be reversible through lifestyle changes, and how today's fertility testing is still largely built on technology from the 1970s. Jeyla also explains how AI can analyze millions of cellular data points that traditional microscopes simply ignore, opening the door to earlier detection of inflammation, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, prostate health, and even cancer risk. Whether you're planning to have children—or simply want to optimize your long-term health—this conversation will completely change the way you think about fertility, prevention, and the future of personalized medicine. ----- 00:00 — Why fertility is declining across the globe 02:02 — Why developing countries are seeing fertility collapse 03:30 — Ranking the biggest threats to reproductive health 07:38 — Why male fertility has been ignored for decades 11:11 — The hidden costs of IVF and fertility care 15:20 — AI's biggest opportunity in healthcare 17:00 — Why sperm is a biomarker of total body health 20:08 — Why healthcare innovation moves so slowly 22:10 — What traditional semen analysis completely misses 27:19 — The connection between prostate health and fertility 28:49 — How Illumicell AI works 31:10 — Public health implications of better fertility data 34:19 — Stem cells, temporary vasectomies and the future of reproduction 36:37 — What AI actually contributes beyond human analysis 42:52 — How AI analyzes sperm differently than humans 45:06 — The future of wearable fertility tracking 48:21 — Designer babies vs better healthcare 52:22 — Why fertility data could prevent future miscarriages 55:14 — Where this technology is headed next 56:23 — What "Ever Forward" means to Jeyla ----- Episode resources: Strong Coffee Company: Clean functional coffee with collagen, MCTs, adaptogens and sustained energy. Save 15% with code CHASE LMNT: Electrolytes for hydration, cognitive performance and recovery. Free Sample Pack with purchase Fatty15: C15:0 essential fatty acid supporting long-term cellular health. Save 15% on the Starter Kit
