    New research shows that people with untreated sleep apnea experience a sharp nighttime drop in blood vessel function driven by the circadian system, increasing vulnerability to heart attacks and other cardiac events In a tightly controlled sleep-lab study, participants' arteries showed their worst ability to dilate around 3:00 a.m., revealing an 82% decline in vascular function during the biological night This impairment persisted even after adjusting for blood flow, sleep quality, and apnea severity, confirming the circadian system — not behavior or breathing events — directly weakens vascular health at night The findings help explain why people with sleep apnea experience more nighttime cardiac events, contrasting with the general population's morning peak in heart attacks and sudden cardiac death Researchers emphasize that understanding circadian timing may help refine cardiovascular treatments for sleep apnea patients, including optimizing medication schedules to enhance nighttime vascular protection

    In this episode of Inside the Pod, we're joined by Charlotte Apsey, a PhD student at the University of Cambridge whose research gets right to the heart of one of the biggest questions facing pulse growers. How can we improve field bean yields while working with nature rather than against it.Charlotte's work focuses on pollination in field beans and, specifically, the role wildflower margins can play in attracting pollinators into crops. Speaking to episode host, Ben Pike, she explains why beans are more reliant on insect activity than many growers might assume, what happens when pollinators are encouraged to spend more time in and around bean crops, and how relatively simple habitat features could make a measurable difference to performance.A major part of Charlotte's research involves on farm trials during the bean flowering period. These trials involve counting pollinators visiting flowers and linking that activity back to yield data. The aim is practical, grower relevant insight that supports productive and sustainable farming systems.Charlotte is now looking for farmers who can help host trials in the 2026 season. She is keen to hear from anyone growing field beans, either spring or winter drilled, particularly where there is an existing wildflower margin alongside the crop or where a margin could be established. Access to the field during flowering would be needed for a short period, along with basic yield information at harvest. Where possible, comparison with a similar bean field without a wildflower margin would add even more value to the work.Disruption to the crop is kept to an absolute minimum. Trial areas are clearly marked and removed afterwards, and all findings are shared with the host farm.If you are growing field beans and would like to be involved, or simply want to find out more, you can contact Charlotte directly by emailing cmea3@cam.ac.uk. Farmers can also register interest via PGRO at www.pgro.org, who are supporting the project and helping to connect growers with the research.This episode is a must listen for anyone interested in beans, pollinators and the real world impact of agri environment features on crop performance.

    Real Estate Agents Face AGI Disruption: Why 50% Will Be Displaced, How to Become the Specialist Who Survives, and Five Actions to Take TODAY to Dominate Your Market Tomorrow

    Real estate agents in Santa Clarita are uniquely vulnerable to AGI—not because they're low-skilled, but because real estate work is highly repeatable and systematizable. An AI system can list properties, respond to inquiries, schedule showings, coordinate logistics, negotiate offers, and provide 24/7 client service. A real estate team that deployed AI could manage 2-3x the transaction volume with the same number of agents. Or keep the same volume and cut staff in half. From a business economics perspective, that's irresistible.In this episode, Connor explains exactly why 50% of Santa Clarita agents will be displaced—and more importantly, how to be in the surviving 50%. The math is brutal: if you handle 10 transactions per month and your brokerage deploys an AI system that handles 80% of routine work, your brokerage realizes they can do the same volume with half the agents. That's inevitable if AGI-level real estate systems become available.But here's the opportunity: agents who move first will dominate the market.Learn the difference between commodity agents (easily replaced by AI) and specialist agents (who use AI to multiply their effectiveness and become indispensable). Commodity agents list houses the traditional way, respond via email/text, rely on routine processes. They're vulnerable immediately. Specialist agents become the AI-powered expert in their market, use AI to free up time for high-touch client work, handle complex transactions requiring judgment, and become the person who manages the AI (not the person it replaces).Discover five actions to take RIGHT NOW: (1) Learn the basics—understand what AI can and can't do, experiment with ChatGPT and Gemini; (2) Integrate AI into your workflow—use it for listing descriptions, comparable sales analysis, follow-up sequences, administrative work; (3) Position yourself as the AI expert in your brokerage—become the person who trains others and evaluates new tools; (4) Build specialization—don't be a general agent, become the expert in your market, neighborhood, or transaction type; (5) Join the conversation—Santa Clarita Artificial Intelligence offers classes and training specifically for real estate professionals.The infrastructure to deploy AI across real estate already exists. Fiber optics. Cloud computing. Every agent has a computer. Every MLS is connected. Every buyer and seller has a phone. That means when AGI-level real estate systems become available, they don't take decades to roll out. They deploy in months.The agents who start learning AI now will have 12-24 months of advantage over agents leaYoutube Channels:Conner with Honor - real estateHome Muscle - fat torchingFrom first responder to real estate expert, Connor with Honor brings honesty and integrity to your Santa Clarita home buying or selling journey.

    Most of us chase home on the outside — new careers, new cities, new missions — assuming the right setting will unlock the right identity. But for Socratese, home wasn't Boston, the Army, or the next achievement. It was the inner place he had been trained to outrun.In this episode, we unpack why so many high-performers hit professional milestones but feel spiritually homeless, how “hero's journey” conditioning pushes leaders away from their real identity, and how cannabis (used intentionally, not performatively) became the unexpected doorway to presence, empathy, and actual healing.We trace the emotional reality of reintegration after elite institutions (military, corporate, startup), how performance culture replaces personhood, and why coming home is always an inward path — never a geographic one.This conversation winds through 80s action movies, the “meeting crisis,” late-stage capitalism narratives, business ethics, the collapse of real community, and the quiet courage required to stop living other people's scripts.No mysticism. No clichés. Just a brutally honest exploration of what it actually takes to return to yourself.TL;DR* Home isn't a location—it's your inner alignment. Many leaders hit external success while feeling internally displaced.* Cannabis as a tool, not an identity. For Socratese, it created non-judgmental presence—the state needed for real healing.* Performance culture steals personhood. Whether military or corporate, the identity costumes eventually crack.* Disruption isn't tech—it's restoring human reciprocity. Real business is two people making each other better.* The journey inward is the only real journey. Every choice either takes you closer to your true self or further away.Memorable Lines* “I came home from the Army, but I didn't feel at home. Because the home I needed wasn't a place—it was my heart.”* “Cannabis didn't heal me. It put me in a state where healing was finally possible.”* “We spend years becoming the person others expect, and then wonder why we feel like strangers in our own lives.”* “Business should be: I win, you win. Somewhere along the line, we lost the human part.”* “You don't find home. You return to it.”GuestSocratese Rosenfeld — Army veteran, tech founder, CEO of Jane, and one of the most thoughtful voices on identity, healing, and conscious leadership.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/socratesrosenfeld/Website: https://www.iheartjane.com/Why This MattersIf you're a founder, veteran, executive, or anyone who has lived inside a high-performance machine, you know the cost: identity confusion, emotional detachment, and a quiet sense of exile from yourself.Coming back home is the real work.Not a tactic. Not a hack.A reckoning.The leaders of tomorrow aren't the loudest.They're the ones who know where “home” is — and how to lead from that grounded center.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.

    In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with Lukas Egger, VP of Product Strategy and Innovation at SAP Signavio. They discuss the realities of implementing AI in large enterprises, the pitfalls of treating AI as a plug-and-play solution, and the importance of re-engineering business systems to unlock true value. Lucas shares insights on innovation, the dangers of the "speed race," and how organizations can de-risk ambitious AI projects. Four Key Takeaways: The AI "Rat Race" Myth [2:00]Lukas explains why the biggest mistake in AI adoption is thinking it's a race to move the fastest, and why slowing down can actually lead to outsized value. The True Cost and Opportunity of AI [7:26]The conversation compares current AI investments to the Manhattan Project, highlighting the generational scale of today's infrastructure build-out and the unique opportunities it presents. Paradigm Shifts: Cheap Content, Expensive Trust [16:59]Lukas discusses how the abundance of cheap, AI-generated content shifts value creation from ownership to membership, and why trust and personalization are now critical. Re-engineering Business Systems for AI [24:29]Lukas argues that success with AI requires rethinking and redesigning entire business processes, not just swapping out old components for new technology. Quote of the Show (36:55):"The most important part is to claim agency about your strategy and what you want to achieve, and this will not come from giving into whatever the latest social media news might imply.” – Lukas Egger Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

    For Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc's final episode recorded live at the CommerceNext Growth show, they welcome two visionary leaders from Tapestry, the global house of brands that includes Coach and Kate Spade: Pooja Chandiramani, VP Global Media Strategy & Planning, Marketing Analytics, Operations and Transformation, and Avinash Kaushik, Brand Strategy & Marketing Transformation.Pooja and Avinash unpack Tapestry's ongoing transformation, which embeds analytics as a core pillar of brand growth. For Coach in particular, analytics isn't just incremental—it's a complete transformation journey. By using data to generate insights that directly drive business impact, Tapestry ensures marketing investments are accountable, measurable, and tied to outcomes.Avinash, a globally recognized thought leader and author, explains how Tapestry embraces intent-centric marketing to connect authentically with consumers. Moving beyond the outdated “accessible luxury” positioning, the company has shifted toward "expressive luxury"—a modern framework that reflects values-driven, authentic consumer engagement, particularly resonant with younger audiences.The conversation dives into the cultural foundations necessary for analytics to thrive. Avinash emphasizes that “culture is more important than data,” crediting Tapestry's CEO Joanne Crevoiserat and senior leadership for creating an environment where data can challenge assumptions and guide decisions. This culture enables bold experiments, including measuring the incrementality of brand marketing—one of the toughest questions in retail.Pooja highlights how creative pre-testing has become a critical unlock. By partnering with Human Made Machine, Tapestry tests campaigns with real audiences before investing media spend. This approach ensures that creative—responsible for up to 70% of marketing impact—delivers measurable results in driving brand awareness and incremental sales. It's a cultural shift, moving from subjective opinions about creative to decisions grounded in data.The episode also explores the role of AI and machine learning in accelerating agility, simplifying decision-making frameworks, and enabling global scalability. Both leaders stress that outcomes-based planning—rather than activity-based planning—keeps Tapestry aligned with its ambitious growth goals.  About UsJennifer MarloHead of Content, CommerceNextJennifer Marlo drives industry-leading programming at CommerceNext, drawing on experience from Ascendant Network and iMedia Connection, where she spearheaded content strategies to inspire retail, brand and agency marketing leaders.

    Here’s a structured summary of the interview between Dr. Melanye Maclin and Rushion McDonald: Purpose of the Interview The discussion aimed to educate the audience about the health risks associated with hair care chemicals—including relaxers, dyes, and synthetic hair—and to advocate for safer practices. It also highlighted Dr. Maclin’s pioneering work in hair and skin supplements and her ongoing mission to raise awareness about these issues. Key Takeaways FDA Ban on Hair Chemicals In 2023, the FDA considered banning certain chemicals in hair products due to health risks, but no ban has been implemented yet. These chemicals are linked to breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, and hormone disruption. High-Risk Chemicals Identified Hair Relaxers: Sodium, calcium, guanine, and lithium hydroxide. Hair Dyes: Para-phenylenediamine (especially in permanent dyes). Synthetic Hair: Contains benzene, posing risks of lung cancer and leukemia. Impact on African-American Women African-American women face a 45% higher risk of certain cancers due to combined use of relaxers and dyes. Cultural and aesthetic pressures contribute to continued use despite health risks. Children at Risk Applying relaxers to young girls can cause early puberty, uterine fibroids, infertility, and increased cancer risk. Chemicals penetrate the scalp, enter the bloodstream, and disrupt hormones. Industry Resistance Pushback from salons and manufacturers due to financial interests. Comparison to tobacco and alcohol industries—profit prioritized over health. Solutions & Advice Avoid chemical treatments when possible. If used, protect the entire scalp with petroleum jelly to reduce absorption. Space out relaxer applications (every 8–10 weeks, max 10 minutes for children).

Notable Quotes On FDA inaction:“Still to this day, that ban has not occurred… We’re continuously having women going to the next generation of life as a result—next generation cancers.” On cultural pressures:“We’re so into wanting to have a certain look versus wanting to be healthy.” On children’s exposure:“We’ve got to keep chemicals off of little girls’ hair… It’s causing hormone disruption, early puberty, infertility, and increased cancer risk.” On industry resistance:“People care about the green-eyed devil called money… Look at the tobacco industry.” On her mission:“I feel like I’m caring more about someone’s health than they’re caring about their own.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    We welcome Moody's Mark Zandi, Moody's Chief Economist and one of the most influential and trusted macroeconomic voices shaping markets, policy, and business strategy worldwide. Zandi begins by explaining how today's consumer landscape is defined by a widening K-shaped economy—an income and wealth split decades in the making and now intensified by rising asset values and post-pandemic dynamics. Households at the top of the income spectrum are spending freely, while middle-class consumers remain pressured and those at the bottom struggle to keep up, borrowing to sustain purchases.Zandi also connects the affordability crisis to structural issues like housing supply, wage pressures, labor shortages, and the unpredictable impact of tariffs—which are simultaneously slowing job creation, lifting inflation, and clouding retailers' pricing strategies. He warns that delayed tariff pass-through may soon accelerate and that upcoming legal decisions could radically alter retail margins.Perhaps most striking is Zandi's analysis of AI's fingerprints on the labor market. He highlights rapidly rising unemployment among younger workers and the risk that productivity gains arrive faster than hiring can adjust—potentially tipping the economy toward recession just as retail faces profit pressure, concentration of growth among a handful of giants, and shifts in category performance.Before joined by Zandi, Steve and Michael dig into the retail headlines: strong BFCM e-commerce results , Buy Now Pay Later surging again, and evidence that AI-driven traffic is now materially influencing online demand. They examine the evolving performance of dollar stores, with Five Below delivering standout comps, the ongoing stampede to value, and whether the end of de minimis rules may reshape the bargain landscape.They then break down Macy's mixed but improving traction, tariff lawsuits led by Costco, and the broader retail question of whether top-line growth is increasingly profitless prosperity—a theme reinforced by margins squeezed across beauty, off-price, and specialty retail formats.In a quick recap of the most remarkable stories of the week Steve is stunned that Meta still invests heavily in the metaverse—even while shrinking budgets Michael questions whether defunct brands like Bed Bath & Beyond can meaningfully return in the Canadian retail market dominated by TJX, HomeSense, and IKEA.Expect the annual game of holiday discount chicken to intensify as promotions escalate, plus intriguing experiments like Netflix House in former department-store spaces—potentially hinting at new opportunities for mall real estate.

Ben Sacco, author of Disruption in Schools: Understand Me Before You Mark Me, reframes how we think about classroom behavior. He explains why “disruption” is often a sign of adversity - not misbehavior - and how parents can spot the real signals beneath a child's shutdowns, boredom, or the classic “school was good” response. Ben also shares practical strategies for recognizing when behavior is actually communication, helping parents and teachers respond with clarity, compassion, and consistency.---Get our free newsletter covering all things fatherhood delivered straight to your inbox: https://thecompanyofdads.com/thedad/

A graph will be included for reference. • Market changes operators should watch Second-generation spaces returning, closures from national chains, shifts in discretionary spending, and how these create opportunity for strong operators. • Building financial resiliency inside your restaurant Practical steps you can implement this week: – Build a cash buffer – Run worst-case financial scenarios – Streamline your supply chain – Consolidate vendors to strengthen relationships – Audit & renegotiate fixed costs every 6 months – Create and maintain a contract calendar – Trim menu bloat and focus on high-performing items – Strengthen community loyalty and local partnerships • The role of digital organization Why every operator should maintain an internal vendor binder, digital logins, contract info, POS access, and more. Avoid the "who knows the password?" disaster. • Personal finance matters too Why your home budget affects your restaurant's ability to weather downturns — from subscriptions to Costco impulse buys (yes, survival buckets included). • Never waste a crisis Economic tightening is when the strongest operators scale. Brian shares real examples of second-generation spaces going for a fraction of past prices.   Practical Takeaways Tighten spending at home and in the business Audit all subscriptions Review every contract (internet, waste removal, grease trap, pest control, etc.) Build financial dry powder Be ready for opportunity: inexpensive expansions, acquisitions, and second-generation spaces Always know where your digital info lives   Tools & Tips Mentioned ChatGPT for contract organization Upload contracts to generate a contract calendar automatically.

    Today I discuss the leadership theme of Arrogance vs. Humility. It's a big topic and covers many parts of a company's cycle of growth and variations in styles of leadership. Without judgement, I wanted to discuss the topic in this era of massive AI investment, huge bets on the future, and many ongoing layoffs. There are good reasons for arrogance and it also has its problems, so I decided to share my thoughts. I also discuss our upcoming 2026 Imperatives research coming in January and give you some insights on the new features in Galileo to help transform the way we assess, coach, and develop our leaders.

    In this episode of Holy Disruption, Heather Schott sits down with filmmakers Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon—creators of Unplanned and Nefarious—to expose the spiritual war within Hollywood and how media has intentionally discipled generations away from God. Together they unpack Hollywood's hidden agendas, from normalized witchcraft and anti-God messaging to the strategic push for abortion and the shaping of cultural beliefs through storytelling. They share firsthand experiences of demonic activity during filming, why they believe Hollywood is collapsing under its own corruption, and how God is raising up a new movement of Kingdom creatives in places like Texas and Tennessee. This episode calls the Church to boldness, purity, and creative obedience as God prepares to reclaim media for His glory and awaken a generation to truth.

    The latest edition of the retail industry's leading podcast features an in-depth conversation with Jason Buechel, CEO of Whole Foods Market and Vice President of Amazon Worldwide Grocery Stores, who shares Amazon's rapidly expanding grocery ambitions. Already surpassing $100 billion in gross sales, Amazon is leaning into grocery as a strategic category driven by frequency, loyalty, Prime stickiness, and the potential to unite all household purchasing into a seamless digital and physical ecosystem.Buechel explains how Amazon is transforming grocery shopping—a category in which consumers currently visit four to five retailers a month—into a single, unified experience. With more than 1,000 same-day grocery delivery locations today scaling to 2,300 cities, store-level innovations such as Whole Foods Daily Shop formats, and the integration of perishables directly into Amazon baskets alongside electronics or apparel, the company is erasing long-standing channel barriers. He also outlines the “one grocery” operational vision: unified supply chains, technology stacks, and customer journeys across banners, while preserving the brand trust and standards that Whole Foods customers demand.The episode opens with co-hosts Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc breaking down early holiday results. This year's hottest retail storyline, however, may be the sudden emergence of agentic AI. Tools such as Amazon's Rufus and ChatGPT are now influencing search and conversion decisions, helping fuel what the hosts dub “the most agentic Christmas yet.” With traffic gains from AI agents multiplying, the shift from traditional search to intelligent assistants is poised to accelerate dramatically in 2026.The discussion then turns to Kohl's, and the decision to name interim CEO Michael Bender to the permanent position. The hosts frame this as symptomatic of a deeper issue: a retailer with declining relevance in a shrinking total addressable market.On the heels of new quarterly earnings reports they also spotlight the theme of “profitless prosperity”—brands reporting modest sales improvements but sliding EBITDA as tariffs, promotions, and supply chain pressures erode margin—the overarching message: top-line growth is not victory unless gross profit dollars follow.The episode concludes with the remarkable rise of Google's AI game, and Sears inexplicably still operating a handful of stores (though likely not for much longer).

    Steve Blank: Blind to Disruption Steve Blank is an Adjunct Professor at Stanford and co-founder of the Gordian Knot Center for National Security Innovation. Credited with launching the Lean Startup movement and the curriculums for the National Science Foundation Innovation Corps and Hacking for Defense and Diplomacy, he's changed how startups are built, how entrepreneurship is taught, how science is commercialized, and how companies and the government innovate. Steve is the author of The Four Steps to the Epiphany and The Startup Owner's Manual and is the author of his recent article at steveblank.com: Blind to Disruption: The CEOs Who Missed the Future. Leaders may see the future coming, but we aren't always incentivized to act on it. In this conversation, Steve and I discuss what we can learn from the common patterns of disruption so we don't miss what's next. Key Points In the 1890s, there were approximately 4,000 carriage and wagon makers in the United States. Only one company made the transition to automobiles. In each of the three companies that survived, it was the founders, not hired CEOs, that drove the transition. Studebaker recognized that it wasn't in the business of carriages; it was in the business of mobility. Clayton Christensen taught us that disruption begins with inferior products that incumbents don't take seriously. The real problem isn't that companies can't see the future. It's that they are structurally disincentivized to act on it. Parsing innovation theatre vs. innovation means paying attention to what's actually shipping. If nothing is and you want to innovate, look elsewhere. Bubbles in the market are normal. Timing may be off, but that doesn't mean disruption isn't happening.
