This episode is presented by Agora.The federal government is poised to enact legislation to make housing development easier.But federal desire does not always translate to local action — and that is where construction actually happens, said Continental Properties Chairman and CEO James Schloemer, who just concluded a two-year term as chairman of the National Multifamily Housing Council.“There are a lot of issues at the local level,” he said. “Between NIMBYs, ... issues regarding building codes and being [too] short-staffed to expedite the necessary permitting and inspections, there are a lot of challenges not correlated to things that the federal government influences.”

Most women assume advisors outperform because they're “experts.” The data inside real portfolios tells a very different story. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of reviewing real client portfolios - many advisor-managed, ranging from $30K to over $3M, and show you exactly what's working, what's quietly draining wealth, and why it's not only possible, but easy, for women to outperform advisors without a finance degree or prior investing experience.Tune in to learn: Why it's possible to outperform an advisor even if you've never invested on your own The real returns inside advisor-managed portfolios  and how they compare to the market The one critical thing advisor-managed portfolios are missing Why advisor portfolios are designed for complexity, not returns How fees and underperformance compound into millions lost over time

What if you could diagnose exactly where you are on the happiness scale—and why? In this groundbreaking episode, Harry Loyd unveils his brand-new "Subjective Life Quality Index"—a 7-stage chart that maps human happiness from rock bottom (0) to enlightenment (10+). Dr. Alex Loyd calls it "as good, if not better" than Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Erikson's Stages of Development, and Kübler-Ross' Stages of Grief. This is the chart's first public presentation. You're seeing it before it's even digitized. ✓ What You'll Discover: ✓ The 7 stages of subjective life quality (0-10+) and where most people get stuck ✓ Why "waiting on the world" (7) is a transitory stage you can't stay in ✓ The "empty cup" trap (5-6): dependency, anxiety, and the "I'll be happy when..." cycle ✓ Why most people are stuck at a 5 (the dependent/anxiety zone) ✓ The honeymoon effect: why happiness from worldly things only lasts 5 minutes to 6 months ✓ Learned helplessness (3-4): the depression zone and why it's sustainable (which makes it dangerous) ✓ Destructive behavior (1-2): hedonism, materialism, narcissism—when desires become needs ✓ Rock bottom (0-1): disillusioned—but why this stage can actually move you UP ✓ The two paths from "waiting on the world": deserving vs. contending ✓ Jacob (8): when pain becomes meaningful and suffering minimizes ✓ The High Road (10+): enlightenment, fulfillment from BEING not achieving ✓ Fragmented intent: the "last enemy" that keeps you from staying at 10+

She studies the roots of human diversity: although each of us shares 99.99% of our genes with every other human on the planet, there is massive variation in our socio-cultural practices driven by our ability to learn from and interact with others. Her research investigates socio-cognitive underpinnings of cultural learning, focusing on how cultural novices, children during early and middle childhood, grow into proficient cultural beings. In this episode, we first talk about when and how children start considering other people's beliefs, the kinds of beliefs people care about, fact-based beliefs and value-based beliefs, and intuitions about people's control over their own beliefs. We then talk about belief revision and how it develops in children. We discuss what people consider to be good reasoning. Finally, we talk about recent exciting findings that suggest that chimpanzees respond to higher-order evidence.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

In this episode of Revolutionary Women, I speak with Kyla Reynolds P'an, Head of Development for Pangea Trust, a UK–Portugal charity building Europe's first large-scale elephant sanctuary in Portugal's Alentejo region. Pangea Trust is creating a sanctuary for elephants currently living in captivity across Europe, offering a lifelong home designed for recovery, space, and social connection. We discuss what it takes to build an elephant sanctuary from the ground up, from fundraising and public awareness to infrastructure, international logistics, and preparing for the arrival of Kariba, the sanctuary's first elephant, expected in 2026. Beyond wildlife conservation, this conversation explores career evolution, living between cultures, and how seasons of work, including raising a family, shape the paths we take later. Kyla shares what it looks like to step into a new chapter with clarity and purpose. If you're interested in elephant conservation, nonprofit leadership, philanthropy in Europe, or stories of women creating change in their communities, this episode offers both depth and perspective. Kyla Reynolds P'an is Head of Development for Pangea Trust, a UK/Portugal based charity building Europe's largest and most comprehensive elephant sanctuary in the Alentejo region of Portugal. The sanctuary will serve as a compassionate solution for Europe's zoos and circuses seeking a life-long home for their elephants. Kyla holds a Master's in Journalism and is the mom of two teenagers. She has more than 20 years of front-line development experience under her belt, including the Smithsonian Institution, Boston University, Harvard Medical School and Mass Audubon.

When Tyler called Joe Studwell's How Asia Works "perhaps my favorite economics book of the year" back in 2013, he wasn't alone: it became one of the most influential treatments of industrial policy ever written. Now Studwell has turned his attention to Africa with How Africa Works. Tyler calls it excellent, extremely well-researched, and essential reading, but does Studwell's optimism about the continent hold up under scrutiny? Tyler and Joe explore whether population density actually solves development, which African countries are likely to achieve stable growth, whether Africa has a manufacturing future, why state infrastructure projects decay while farmer-led irrigation thrives, what progress looks like in education and public health, whether charter cities or special economic zones can work, and how permanent Africa's colonial borders really are. After testing Joe's optimism about Africa, Tyler shifts back to Asia: what Japan and South Korea will do about depopulation, why industrial policy worked in East Asia but failed in India and Brazil, what went wrong in Thailand, and what Joe will tackle next.

Joined this week by Mr. Fully Involved himself, the one and only Mark vonAppen.  It promises to be an awesome conversation as one of my most influential mentors comes back on the Scrap!  We discuss how decisions made at the mid-level shape culture, trust, and long-term performance within organizations. How he likes to  emphasizes accountability without ego, discipline without arrogance, and the idea that credibility is built through consistent action, not position. We planned to address the challenges firefighters face: ethical gray areas, top-down pressure, burnout, and the tension between policy and people. Of course as always the best thought out topics of me and the guest got beutifully hijacked by the wonderful questions from the audience.  Enjoy the episode!!!

AI Assisted Coding: How Spending 4x More on Code Quality Doubled Development Speed What happens when you combine nearly 30 years of engineering experience with AI-assisted coding? In this episode, Eduardo Ferro shares his experiments showing that AI doesn't replace good practices—it amplifies them. The result: doubled productivity while spending four times more on code quality. Vibe Coding vs Production-Grade AI Development "Vibe coding is flow-driven, curiosity-based way of building software with AI. It's less about meticulously reviewing each line of code, and more about letting the AI steer the process—perfect for quick experiments, side projects, MVPs, and prototypes."   Edu draws a clear distinction between vibe coding and production AI development. Vibe coding is exploration-focused, where you let AI drive while you learn and discover. Production AI coding is goal-focused, with careful planning, spec definition, and identification of edge cases before implementation. Both use small, safe steps and continuous conversation with the AI, but production code demands architectural thinking, security analysis, and sustainability practices. The key insight is that even vibe coding benefits from engineering discipline—as experiments grow, you need sustainable practices to maintain flexibility. How AI Doubled My Productivity "I was investing four times more in refactoring, cleanup, deleting code, introducing new tests, improving testability, and security analysis than in generating new features. And at the same time, globally, I think I more or less doubled my pace of work."   Edu's two-month experiment with production code revealed a counterintuitive finding: by spending 4x more time on code quality activities—refactoring, cleanup, test improvement, and security analysis—he actually doubled his overall delivery speed. The secret lies in fast feedback loops. With AI, you can implement a feature, run automated code review, analyze security, prioritize improvements, and iterate—all within an hour. What used to be a day's work happens in a single focused session, and the quality improvements compound over time. The Positive Spiral of Code Removal "We removed code, so we removed all the features that were not being used. And whenever I remove this code, the next step is to automatically try to see, okay, can I simplify the architecture."   One of the most powerful practices Edu discovered is using AI to accelerate code removal. By connecting product analytics to identify unused features, then using AI to quickly remove them, you trigger a positive spiral: removing code makes architecture changes easier, easier architecture changes enable faster feature development, which leads to more opportunities for simplification. This creates a self-reinforcing cycle that humans historically have been reluctant to pursue because removal was as expensive as creation. Preparing the System Before Introducing Change "What I want to generate is this new functionality—how should I change my system to make it super easy to introduce this one? It's not about making the change, it's about making the change easy."   Edu describes a practice that was previously too expensive: preparing the system before introducing changes. By analyzing architecture decision records, understanding the existing design, and adapting the codebase first, new features become trivial to implement. AI makes this preparation cheap enough to do routinely. The result is systems that evolve cleanly rather than accumulating technical debt with each new feature. AI as an Amplifier: The Double-Edged Sword "AI is an amplifier. People who already know how to develop software well will continue to develop it well and faster. People who did not know how to develop software well will probably get in trouble much faster than they would otherwise."   Edu's central metaphor is AI as an amplifier—it doesn't replace engineering judgment, it magnifies its presence or absence. Teams with strong practices will see accelerated improvement; teams without them will generate technical debt faster than ever. This has implications beyond individual productivity: the market will be saturated with solutions, making product discovery and distribution channels more important than implementation capability.   In this episode, we refer to Edu's blog post Fast Feedback, Fast Features: My AI Assisted Coding Experiment and Vibe Coding by Gene Kim.   About Eduardo Ferro Edu Ferro is Head of Engineering and Data Platform at ClarityAI, with nearly 30 years' experience. He helps teams deliver value through Lean, XP, and DevOps, blending technical depth with product thinking. Recently he explores AI-assisted product development, sharing insights and experiments on his site eferro.net.   You can connect with Edu Ferro on LinkedIn.

Mike Lomas and Mike Hoeflich take aim at progressive politics, media darlings, and failed leadership in blue states. From AOC's shaky performance on the global stage to Eric Swalwell's abysmal attendance record, the guys break down why political posturing keeps replacing real results. They tackle New York's crime and homelessness crisis, ICE arrests targeting violent offenders, soft-on-crime judges, and the disconnect between elected officials and the communities they claim to represent. It's a blunt conversation about accountability, law and order, and why shrinking government—not expanding it—is the real solution.(00:04:57) AOC's Munich Security Conference Performance Critique(00:06:26) Long Lines at Free Grocery Stores in NYC(00:11:59) Failure of Promised Societal Improvement by Political Leaders(00:14:00) Eric Swalwell's Roll Call Vote Attendance(00:16:01) Effective Public Services for Crime and Development(00:17:49) Targeting Criminal Illegal Aliens in ICE Raids(00:24:05) Integrity in Jesse Jackson's Activism Journey

What happens to the self when parts of life begin living in secrecy? In this episode of the Thanks for Sharing podcast, we move beyond behavior and beyond relationship impact to explore how porn can shape identity, emotional development, and connection. We talk about: • how compartmentalization forms in the brain and nervous system • why dopamine can reinforce a “secret self” • what young men need to understand about relational risk and resilience • how partners often sense misalignment long before discovery • the difference between shame and responsibility • and how healing begins through development of the authentic self This episode is part of an ongoing series: Episode 1 — Regulation & the brain Episode 2 — Relational impact & betrayal Episode 3 — Development of the self (this episode)  Have a question or thought?

Is Ash Wednesday apostolic? Medieval? Biblical? Or something in between?In this special Ash Wednesday episode of FACTS, Dr. Stephen Boyce examines the historical development of the imposition of ashes, tracing its roots from the biblical symbolism of dust and repentance to the public penitential practices of the early Church, and finally to its formal codification in the medieval West.Were ashes universally practiced in the early centuries? How did Lent develop into a 40-day fast? Why does the East not observe Ash Wednesday in the same way as the West? And does later liturgical development undermine theological legitimacy?Rather than sentimentality or polemics, this episode offers careful historical analysis—grounded in Scripture, the Fathers, and liturgical history. Ash Wednesday may not be apostolic in its fixed form, but its symbolism is deeply biblical and its theology profoundly Christian: we are dust, and we stand in need of repentance.Join Dr. Boyce for a historically grounded exploration of how dust became devotion.

Even if you think your nonprofit is doing well, we've found you could be doing much better. However, most nonprofits don't have a clear development strategy that keeps them grounded.

In this episode of The Learning & Development Podcast, David James is joined by Geraldine Murphy to explore how learning can move from a reactive service to a strategic driver of business impact. Geraldine shares how she built the foundations for transformation - introducing governance, process, and consistency - and shifted the culture from chasing “shiny new things” to making smarter decisions about building, borrowing, buying, or automating learning. She reflects on influencing stakeholders, the power of storytelling in driving change and the personal skills that mattered most throughout the journey. This conversation is a guide for L&D professionals ready to tackle entrenched challenges, start making change even without formal permission and step confidently into a more strategic, impactful role. Take your L&D to the next level Take advantage of thousands of hours of analysis. Hundreds of conversations with industry innovators and 25+ years of hands-on global L&D leadership. It's all distilled into one framework to help you level up L&D. Access the L&D Maturity Model here - https://360learning.com/maturity-model KEY TAKEAWAYS Passion isn't enough; without structure, governance and the right tools, L&D effort stays local and inefficient. Data‑driven storytelling unlocks investment and permission to transform. Governance, clear promises to the business, and knowing when to say “no” are central to leading large‑scale change. L&D must link learning directly to productivity and business performance to escape being seen as simply a “nice to have.” BEST MOMENTS “We weren't doing technology for technology's sake.” “If your people aren't growing, then the business is not growing.” “When you've got a vision to elevate L&D to be business savvy, accountable and impactful, it's not so difficult to bring senior stakeholders on board to help to shape that.” “For the first time, we had one platform to rule them all.” Geraldine Murphy Bio Geraldine Murphy is an experienced Learning & Development leader, most recently Global Learning Experience Manager at HEINEKEN. In this role, she managed a broad global portfolio of learning tools and processes and worked with 85 decentralised learning teams to support the delivery of L&D for more than 90,000 employees worldwide. Alongside this, she served as a Global DEI Ambassador, contributing to the organisation's diversity, equity, and inclusion agenda. Geraldine began her career in education following her teacher training in 2009 and has since worked across further and higher education, publishing, and technology. Her work includes leading learning design for HE partnership programmes at a FTSE 100 publisher and consulting with organisations such as HSBC University (Global), FourthRev, Aula, Scribbr, Jisc and the University of Cambridge.
