Today's poem is Pocket Dial by James Davis May. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes... "It's a strangely intimate thing, the pocket dial. When we're on the receiving end, we find ourselves listening from a tucked away place close to someone's body. It's a pitfall of carrying our devices with us. Previous generations, generations who grew up without cell phones, didn't have to contend with things like pocket dials."This show is supported by gifts from listeners.

Can AI really clean up messy bookkeeping—and what happens when firms trust it too much? Blake and David break down KPMG's error-filled AI report, the Pentagon's new “Agentic Auditor,” and State Farm's move to tie agent pay to AI. Blake also shares how he used Claude to complete two years of write-up work in hours, with practical lessons on where AI helps, where it fails, and why human review still matters.SponsorsCanopy - http://accountingpodcast.promo/canopyThe Value Builder System - http://accountingpodcast.promo/valueOnPay - http://accountingpodcast.promo/onpayChapters(00:00) - TAP 493 (02:20) - KPMG AI Report Scandal (04:01) - GPTZero Findings Breakdown (05:16) - Hallucinated Case Studies (07:18) - Pentagon Turns to AI Audits (08:33) - Microsoft Copilot Cowork Launch (10:09) - Claude Cowork Write Up Win (15:22) - Recon Fixes and Loan Discovery (20:48) - Future of Agentic Accounting (24:06) - Livestream Q and A TaxGPT (27:01) - AI Review and Human Loop (28:38) - QuickBooks AI Gripe Vibe Coding (31:15) - OnPay Payroll Pitch (32:10) - CPA Fees Rising (33:58) - State Farm AI Agents (37:09) - SpaceX IPO Accounting (39:31) - Musk Disclosure Shift (41:02) - Quarterly Reporting Debate (46:31) - Celebrity Accountant Fraud (50:52) - KPMG Summer Perk Cut (52:24) - Intuit Humanizing AI (55:22) - IRS Data Shared With ICE (57:56) - CPE And Farewell Show NotesChasing the Hallucinations: KPMG's AI-Powered Attempt at "Redefining Excellence"https://gptzero.me/news/investigations-kpmg/KPMG's AI report becomes an accidental demo of AI hallucinationshttps://www.theregister.com/ai-and-ml/2026/06/12/kpmgs-ai-report-turns-into-a-demo-of-ai-hallucinations/5255029Pentagon turns to AI in push for clean financial audit by 2028https://www.stripes.com/theaters/us/2026-06-11/pentagon-audit-ai-contract-21941885.htmlCopilot Cowork is now generally availablehttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2026/06/16/copilot-cowork-is-now-generally-available/Tax Prep Billing Rates Lift Busy Season 2026https://cpatrendlines.com/2026/04/14/tax-prep-emerges-from-busy-season-2026-as-the-new-engine-for-billing-rates/State Farm overhauls agent contracts, mandates AI usehttps://finance.yahoo.com/technology/ai/articles/state-farm-overhauls-agent-contracts-115756712.htmlSpaceX CFO Bret Johnsen quietly engineered its historic IPO and became an overnight billionairehttps://fortune.com/2026/06/13/spacex-cfo-bret-johnsen-overnight-billionaire-ipo/SpaceX CFO Bret Johnsen joins billionaire ranks after $75B IPO: Trial Balancehttps://www.cfo.com/news/spacex-cfo-bret-johnsen-joins-billionaire-ranks-after-ipo-trial-balance/822848/Investors oppose semiannual reporting, says pollhttps://www.accountingtoday.com/news/investors-oppose-semiannual-reporting-says-pollCFA Institute Investor Perspectives: Quarterly Reporting 2026https://rpc.cfainstitute.org/sites/default/files/docs/research-reports/investor-perspectives-quarterly-reporting-2026.pdfThe Global Freelancer Pay Gap Reporthttps://www.remitly.com/us/en/landing/global-freelancer-pay-gapNick Cannon's Business Accountant Allegedly Embezzles $2 Million, Flees U.S.https://www.tmz.com/2026/05/08/nick-cannon-business-manager-embezzled-millions/KPMG scraps summer early Friday finish for staffhttps://www.cityam.com/kpmg-scraps-summer-early-friday-finish-for-staff/Intuit hires Mother to humanize the QuickBooks maker's AI pitchhttps://adage.com/agencies/accounts-in-review/aa-intuit-hires-mother-as-creative-strategy-partner/After issuing more than $20 billion in tariff refunds, the Trump administration is now pursuing legal action to bring the process to a standstillhttps://fortune.com/2026/06/01/trump-administration-plan-appeal-illegal-ieepa-tariff-universal-refunds/IRS gave 47,000 taxpayers' addresses to ICEhttps://www.accountingtoday.com/news/irs-gave-47-000-taxpayers-addresses-to-iceNeed CPE?Get CPE for listening to podcasts with Earmark: https://earmarkcpe.comSubscribe to the Earmark Podcast: https://podcast.earmarkcpe.comGet in TouchThanks for listening and the great reviews!

On this episode we have Joel Suggs, a PGA Master Teaching Professional with decades of experience helping golfers of all levels understand their own games. Joel is the author of Golf Success Before Every Round, which was the number one new release in golf coaching on Amazon when it came out. By the end of this episode, you'll learn why golfers already have the right answers for their game — and how to draw those out using facts instead of tips. You'll discover the three stats that cause virtually all big scores in golf, why analyzing batches of shots beats obsessing over individual ones, and what your tap-in count is actually telling you about your putting. Joel is a unique and interesting guy so I'm confident you'll learn some new perspectives from this one.

Talk Club, set up in a Bristol pub seven years ago, offers a space for men to get together and discuss their mental health. That's something too few of us still do, as shown by the horrible statistic that in the UK, a man dies by suicide roughly every 90 minutes – the length of a football match.With this episode recorded during Men's Health Week, and with the World Cup bringing many men together in a highly emotional state, it seemed an appropriate time to sit down with Gavin Thorpe, one of Talk Club's two founders.The clubs have rapidly expanded, to 150 branches across the country. But with suicide still the biggest killer of UK men under 50, the need to talk remains urgent. Why are we men so reluctant to open up about what's getting us down? Are Talk Club's activities moving the needle? And do young men – far more in touch with emotions than their grandads – offer hope?Content warning – this episode, as you might have guessed, contains discussions of suicide and mental ill health. But it's a great chat, and by no means all doom and gloom – hope you enjoy.The Bristol Cable is Bristol's community-owned cooperative newsroom – fiercely independent journalism that puts people before profit. Since 2014, we've been holding power to account through investigative reporting, community campaigns, and democratic media ownership. Because when journalism serves the community, not shareholders, real change becomes possible.Support independent journalism and help us bring more vital conversations to Bristol: become a Bristol Cable member.

Unmet generative AI promises, flatlining ROI dashboards, and a relentless corporate appetite for unguided technological progress. By all logic, one would assume we'd take a strategic pause to change course and build foundational human competence. Instead, in a desperate panic, we're witnessing the birth of "AI agent sprawl,” autonomous activity deployed without a map, GPS, or off-switch. This week, I examine what happens when companies try to use autonomous AI as a strategic shortcut to force unfulfilled promises into reality, and how it's fracturing their operational architectures and budgets. You'll see why we have to move past the open-ended rollout hype, put a full stop on unmanaged agental capabilities, and install strict human oversight mandates before these tools trigger a catastrophic bottom-line crisis. My goal is to get you off cruise control by highlighting the following opportunities to protect yourself and your organization:Deconstructing the Autonomy Sliding Scale: We need to stop treating AI agents like a mythical, binary technology that just arrived from space. Autonomy is a volume knob we've been turning up for decades. The real danger occurs when you spin that dial to a ten, completely relinquishing task-by-task control to a digital intern running continuously on autopilot without verifying if your structural architecture can handle the noise. Exposing the SharePoint Trap with Fangs: In the cloud migration era, corporate America turned on SharePoint thinking "what's the harm," only to create an unmanaged jungle of duplicate data and orphaned sites that acted as a silent productivity torpedo. Agent sprawl is that exact same mistake on steroids because a messy SharePoint folder couldn't rewrite your product codebase, communicate with your clients, or execute legally binding corporate spend decisions. Agents can, and left running on autopilot after an employee leaves, they become an invisible, permanent liability. Halting the Autopilot Spend Shock: The financial consequences of ungoverned agent loops are hitting corporate balance sheets hard, mimicking the familiar spend shock of dictionary-thick cell phone bills from the early 2000s. I highlight some recent examples like Uber vaporizing its entire annual AI budget in four months due to recursive agent rework loops, Microsoft aggressively clawing back developer licenses, and a jaw-dropping $500 million single-month bill racked up by an enterprise trapped in an infinite loop. By the end, I hope you're convinced the solution isn't about stopping technology. It's about halting the wide-scale rollouts to reinvest heavily in human AI competence. We must move past the vendor hype, place the right people in the right loops at the right times, and establish the disciplined guardrails required to surgically agentize our operations safely. ⸻If this conversation was helpful, make sure to like, share, and subscribe.

Many leaders and teams are not always aware of what is getting in their way and what opportunities exist to improve their culture and performance. Tools help us see more clearly. For Full Show Notes and Links Visit: https://www.jasonvbarger.com/podcast/self-awareness-tools-with-jason-p-carroll/ Jason is joined by his friend, Jason P. Carroll, the founder of Aptive Index, for an insightful conversation about leveraging self-awareness tools to remove leadership obstacles and build high-performance teams. Please rate and review the podcast to help amplify these messages to others! Summary: With employee engagement hitting a ten-year low and only 23% of workers trusting their organization's direction, how can executives build an environment where teams truly thrive? In this episode of The Thermostat, Jason V Barger sits down with behavioral intelligence specialist, TEDx speaker, and certified Dare to Lead facilitator Jason P. Carroll. Together, they explore the profound intersection of psychometric science, data-driven self-awareness, and strategic culture shaping. This conversation moves beyond generic motivational advice to break down the mechanics of human hardwiring in the workplace. Jason and Jason examine the hidden traps of leadership habits, highlighting how executives often inadvertently erode trust through micro-doses of misaligned communication. They analyze real-world case studies of behavioral clashes, emphasizing that true self-awareness isn't just about collecting personality data—it's about understanding your systemic impact and knowing how to dial in your personal strengths with precision. Essential listening for C-Suite executives, founders, and managers committed to mastering corporate culture, this episode offers a practical blueprint on leveraging AI-powered behavioral intelligence, navigating cultural dissonance, and deploying the core drivers of organizational trust to enhance leadership in teams. Episode Notes & Timestamps: Intro: Jason Barger introduces Jason P. Carroll, founder of Aptive Index, setting up a conversation on self-awareness tools and removing leadership obstacles. Meet Jason P. Carroll: A look into Carroll's background, including scaling a previous company from $20M to $80M through people decisions, training with Brené Brown, and playing sandlot baseball. Running Hot: Analyzing the cartoon imagery of running at maximum temperature and the difficulty high-performing leaders face when trying to slow down. The Evolution of Culture: Observations on how economic uncertainty, work-from-home shifts, and AI require leaders to reframe people leadership with deep intentionality. The Trust Crisis: Discussing the Gallup data hitting a 10-year low in employee engagement and the reality that only 23% of workers trust their leadership. The Data vs. Self-Awareness Trap: Why listing personal tendencies on a spreadsheet isn't true self-awareness, and the necessity of understanding your behavioral impact on a team. The Cowboy Hat Case Study: A narrative about a high-energy CEO learning that he can't expect a structured accounting department to adapt to his chaotic executive style. Misaligned Hardwiring: Jason P. Carroll shares a story from his previous company where clashing behavioral needs created an operational chasm between visionaries and operators. Dialing in Strengths: Why self-awareness doesn't mean becoming a chameleon, but rather finding the proper execution balance without losing your executive edge. Cultural Dissonance & Lingering Habits: Jason Barger unpacks why "what we allow lingers and what we teach triggers," and the leadership obligation to protect the culture of "we." The Trust Drivers: A comparison of the HBR trust drivers (logic, empathy, authenticity) and the Aptive Index metrics (character, competence, compassion). Psychometrics & The AI "Now What?": How the AI system Aria converts dusty, one-time personality data into continuous, real-time workplace conflict guides. Outro: Jason outlines steps for leaders to calibrate their thermostat by proactively shifting behaviors to shape culture. Key Takeaways for Leaders: Systemic Impact Mapping: Move past simple personality test checklists; true self-awareness requires evaluating how your hardwired tendencies alter team dynamics. Dial, Don't Discard: Refining your leadership style is not about erasing your natural strengths, but dialing back over-indexing tendencies (like steamrolling) to allow for team autonomy. Address the Dissonance: Guard your culture fiercely by refusing to let misaligned behaviors linger, actively teaching back to your core operational values.

This week on the Accunet Mortgage and Realty Show, Brian and David Wickert break down a surprisingly strong May jobs report—roughly double the expected new jobs—and why good news for the economy spooked both the bond and stock markets. With the Fed funds futures markets now pricing in real odds of a rate increase by year-end, the guys put today's mortgage rates in perspective: a 30-year fixed around 6.49% feels worse only because of the “recency effect.” Dial back a few years to when rates were 7.99% and today looks pretty good.Then it's story time from the front lines of southeastern Wisconsin's still-hot housing market. Brian shares a tale of a one-bath, one-car Brookfield home that drew 30 showings but zero opening offers—and what happened next. They dig into the rise of waived home inspections (one big brokerage reports 56% of accepted offers skip them), why sellers might actually want buyers to inspect, and some example CYA addendums protecting agents.Plus: a real client wins with an escalator clause and an appraisal waiver—and the reading-comprehension showdown over netting out buyer-agent commissions. The recurring lesson? Know how to read.

What does a dedicated meditation practice look like off the cushion and in the real world? On this episode of Men Talking Mindfulness, hosts Jon Macaskill and Will Schneider sit down with Chris Lee... former Green Beret, 18 Delta medic, author of Beyond the Battlefield, and newly signed president of Machine Mentality alongside Nick Lavery. Chris came on to talk about why meditation is the quiet superpower that most men keep putting off, and what actually changed when he stopped treating it like a checkbox.Chris shares his walking meditation practice (72 steps per lap in his backyard, nearly killed the grass), the moment he realized he'd been matching his breath to his pace instead of his pace to his breath, and why flipping that became a metaphor for his whole life. He talks about the shift from knife-handing his daughters to being present during driving lessons, the self-talk change that cracked everything open, and a psychedelic-assisted therapy session where he heard: stop striving for peace, just be peace.Jon shares his own meditation gap... learning the practice in 2015, dropping off, and coming back in 2017 when his newborn daughter's nighttime feedings forced him to rediscover the tool. Will talks about teaching non-doing meditation to high performers in New York and why you'll never out-clever your own mind.The episode gets practical with the five-minute rule, the gym analogy for beginners (start with 45 seconds, not an hour), and two responses to common meditation pushback that are worth remembering: "I can't quiet my mind" is like saying "I'm too dirty to take a shower," and the deadlift analogy for people who think sitting still is a waste of time. Chris closes by guiding a liquid light body scan meditation.What you'll hear in this episode:Chris's walking meditation practice and matching pace to breath as a life metaphorThe self-talk shift: being gentle when your mind wandersHow meditation changed Chris's parenting with two daughtersJon's nighttime feeding story and rediscovering the toolThe five-minute rule and why 45 seconds is a great place to start"I can't quiet my mind" = "I'm too dirty to take a shower"The deadlift analogy for meditation skepticsNon-doing meditation and why fighting your mind gives it controlPeace as a reservoir, not a mountaintopSleep, alcohol, the Brick device, and variables that affect your practiceCommunity and accountability for sustaining a meditation habitGuided liquid light body scan meditationChris's book: Beyond the Battlefield (available now) Chris's upcoming book: Beyond the Serpent (early 2026) Chris on Instagram/TikTok: @coach_chris.lee Machine Mentality with Nick LaveryFull episode: https://pod.fo/e/34fabfText MTM to 33777 for updates on new episodes, the A2A course, and resources from Focus Now Training.Jon's book, DIAL in Your Leadership: 4 Non-negotiables for Leading with Clarity, Trust, and Purpose, is available now on Amazon. https://a.co/d/0hYwI2SzFollow Men Talking Mindfulness, Jon Macaskill, and Will Schneider for more.Hosted on Ausha.

The American experiment nearly collapsed before it ever truly began. Plunge into the chaos of post-Revolution America: mutinous soldiers surrounding Congress, a government too weak to defend itself, and a nation fracturing under the failed Articles of Confederation. From Shays' Rebellion shaking the states to the top-secret, sweltering summer in Philadelphia where Madison, Hamilton, Franklin, and Washington forged an unprecedented new system of government, this is the dramatic story of how the Constitution was born. Packed with tension, rebellion, and political intrigue, this episode reveals how close the United States came to falling apart – and how bold ideas, fierce debate, and fragile compromise saved it.

This week on The Paragould Podcast, Jared sits down with Lori Dial, longtime GCT theater teacher and local entertainer. Lori shares her journey from growing up around Brookland and performing at The Roundup Music Show to teaching English and theater for nearly two decades. The conversation covers community theater, all-state competitions, the Veterans Day tradition at GCT, overcoming stage fright, and the mindset that has shaped her life and teaching: “Feel the fear and do it anyway.” It's a conversation about creativity, courage, leadership, and why the willingness to try is often what leads to growth and success.
Is AI about to break the billable hour? Blake and David unpack what they heard at a major AI tax summit, where new tools promise to prepare complex returns in minutes instead of hours. They also debate Intuit's stock slide, Trump's extraordinary IRS settlement, and what shrinking oversight at the PCAOB could mean. You'll hear where AI is already changing accounting—and where humans still matter most.SponsorsCloud Accountant Staffing - http://accountingpodcast.promo/casThe Value Builder System - http://accountingpodcast.promo/valueOnPay - http://accountingpodcast.promo/onpayMaxima.

The American Revolution teeters on the edge of collapse before roaring back to life with Washington's daring crossing of the Delaware River and a Christmas surprise attack at Trenton. Experience the heartbreak of Brandywine, the comeback at Saratoga, the frozen crucible of Valley Forge, and the global shakeup triggered by a French alliance. Along the way, Benedict Arnold betrays a nation, an enslaved double-spy helps alter the course of history, and a cornered British army walks into a trap that will upend an empire.

America's break from Britain begins with midnight riders, musket smoke, and a gritty nation staring down the world's greatest empire. In this explosive chapter, ride with Paul Revere on his moonlit warning mission, stand on Lexington Green as the first shots shatter centuries of order, march with Washington as he stares down defeat, and witness the fiery words of Common Sense ignite a revolution. From Bunker Hill's carnage to Jefferson's quill to Washington's miraculous escape with the aid of peculiar weather, this is the birth of independence as you've never heard it: vivid and human, as a nation begins its struggle to exist.
