otes:Melissa completed her PhD after two decades of operational work, bringing a pracademic perspective to cyber profiling and offender pathways.Her research focuses on understanding the human behind the keyboard through developmental history, motivation and lived experience.Initial motivations among hackers often centre on curiosity, challenge seeking and belonging rather than financial gain.Many participants reported early interest in technology, solitary online activity and experiences they described as destabilising events.Melissa distinguishes between lawful and criminal pathways using indicators such as modifying games, low self-control and a history of property offending.Her work highlights misunderstandings about intent, the role of gamification and the abstraction of harm when offending takes place online.She argues that cybercrime is a societal problem requiring early education, parental and teacher capability building and partnerships with tech and gaming companies.Diversion programs are essential to guide youth with technical interest toward prosocial cybersecurity roles rather than criminalisation.About our guest:Dr Melissa Martineauhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-martineau-369bb5258/https://www.captechu.edu/webinar-series-melissa-martineauPapers or resources mentioned in this episode:Martineau, M.

In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed: Distinguishing annuity types Applying the PILL strategy Interpreting annuity yields Securing contractual understanding Key Takeaways: Understanding the purpose of different annuities is crucial: MYGAs provide guaranteed interest on principal like a CD, while SPIAs deliver a lifetime income stream tailored to longevity. Each serves a distinct financial goal. The "PILL" framework—Principal protection, Income for life, Legacy, Long-term care—helps determine whether an annuity aligns with your needs and long-term planning priorities. Evaluating yields requires nuance: MYGA interest compounds tax-deferred without reducing principal, whereas SPIA "rates" reflect life expectancy and combine principal with interest, making direct comparisons misleading. Before purchasing, ensure you fully understand an annuity's contractual guarantees, avoid relying on hypothetical rates, and seek reliable sources for accurate information to make informed decisions. "We're looking at a principal-protected product and an income product. Now right there. You should say, I'm not sure we can compare those two… because [they're] two different categories." — Stan The Annuity Man Connect with The Annuity Man: Website: http://theannuityman.com/ Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com Book: Owner's Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g Get a Quote Today: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator!
Key TakeawaysPurpose is clarified through experience and reflection, not just passion.Helping others find purpose requires curiosity, coaching, and equipping them with the tools to succeed.Distinguishing passion from purpose involves commitment, impact, and skill alignment.Gratitude and intentional reflection help maintain focus on what truly matters.Leaders can spot misalignment by observing engagement, mood, and energy, but must approach it with curiosity and connection.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, Today's Class, KUKUI, and Pit Crew Loyalty Watch Full Video Episode It's time to dig into real-world strategies for managing debt and strengthening the financial foundation of your auto repair business. Shiju Thomas,Hotchkiss Auto RepairDustin Brown,Brown Auto ExpertsHunt Demarest, CPA,Paar Melis and Associates The first big takeaway: Cash is king.Our panel emphasizes the power of maintaining healthy cash reserves—ideally three to six months of operating expenses—to safeguard your shop against unexpected disruptions. If the pandemic taught us anything, it's that cash on hand can be the difference between surviving and scrambling. Another core theme is recognizing the difference between good debt and “bad debt.” Good debt includes real estate and other collateral-backed loans that appreciate, add stability, and support long-term growth. Bad debt includes high-interest burdens like merchant cash advances or short-term credit card loans—products that drain cash flow fast and offer zero assets in return. The panel also addresses a common pain point: “Why doesn't my bank balance match my profit?”The answer lies in understanding the cash flow statement—specifically, that principal payments don't appear on the P&L, even though they hit your bank account hard. Their guidance: pay off high-interest debt first, but don't erase debt so aggressively that you end up “debt-free but cash-poor.” Cash matters just as much as debt reduction. Bottom line: Be intentional with your money. Understand your numbers. And approach debt reduction as a strategy, not a sprint.

Welcome to Day 2731 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2731– A Discerning Life – Distinguishing Truth from Error – 1 John 4:1-6 Putnam Church Message – 10/12/2025 Sermon Series: 1, 2, & 3 John “Distinguishing Truth from Error " Last week, we continued through the letter of 1 John and explored how to have “A Discerning Life: Not Like Cain, But Like Christ!" This week, we continue through the letter of 1 John, and we will explore how to have “Distinguishing Truth from Error” from 1 John 4:1-6 from the NIV, which is found on page 1902 of your Pew Bibles. Discerning False Prophets 4 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ>has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. 4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit[a] of truth and the spirit of falsehood. Opening Prayer Some statements of Scripture haunt us. If we were to dwell on them too long, meditate on them too deeply, or obsess over them too frequently, they would keep us awake at night. It is much like most news sources and social media posts. We must determine truth from error. They warn of impending trouble for believers and alarming developments for the church. The following passages together paint a pretty bleak picture of the deteriorating world around us: “You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers.” ( 24:9) “And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people.” ( 24:11) “Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold.” ( 24:12) “For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God's chosen ones.” ( 24:24) “The time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing a holy service for God.” (John 16:2) “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” (John...
Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Build a Better Agency! Host Drew McLellan sits down with Robin Bonn, agency veteran and founder of Codefinery, for a candid conversation that tackles one of the agency world's biggest challenges: true differentiation. Drawing on over two decades of industry experience and insights from his new book, Market of One, Robin unpacks why even the most creative agencies struggle to set themselves apart and how owners can reimagine their businesses for lasting competitive advantage. Drew and Robin delve deep into the heart of agency positioning, debunking the myths and tired tropes that so many firms rely on to claim they're "different." From generic claims about people and creativity to the pitfalls of "category norms," Robin shares why most agencies' attempts at standing out fall flat—and what it really means to create a business model that's as unique as a fingerprint. Listeners will hear practical advice for moving beyond superficial branding tactics and start building what Robin calls a "market of one"—where your agency's true value is clear, tangible, and uncopyable. The episode also explores the often-overlooked role of pricing as a key differentiator, the pervasive fear and herd mentality that keep agencies stuck, and the transformative impact of AI on agency business models. Robin challenges listeners to rethink everything from service offerings to client fit—encouraging leaders to embrace strategy, redefine success beyond just growth, and make bold choices that align with both financial health and personal fulfillment. Tune in if you're ready to move past the sea of sameness and face the future with optimism and intention. By the end of the episode, you'll walk away with actionable questions, a fresh strategic lens, and the inspiration to reshape not just what your agency does, but how—and why—you do it.

Pope Leo XIV has recently formally declared St. John Henry Newman—who was canonized only in 2019 by Pope Francis—a doctor of the Catholic Church, a recognition given only to 37 other saints in Catholicism's over 2000 year history. This places Newman among great figures like St. Augustine, St. Gregory the Great, St. Jerome, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Theresa de Avila, St. Catherine of Sienna, and the Little Flower, St. Therese of Lisieux. What is the significance of giving St. John Henry Newman—an Englishman and Anglican convert to Catholicism who was born over 200 years ago—this title? What is it about Newman's approach to communicating the faith that earned him this great honor—and why now? Equally important, how can contemporary evangelists draw inspiration from his work to proclaim the Gospel in a drastically different world, religiously and morally, from Newman's 19th century Victorian England? A listener asks for advice on how to give better homilies at Mass. 00:00 | Introduction 01:26 | Bishop Barron's recent domestic travels 03:20 | Defining "Doctor of the Church" 04:55 | Distinguishing doctors from saints 05:50 | John Henry Newman's brief biography 12:18 | Understanding the development of doctrine 17:41 | Safeguards against corruption 22:33 | The wholeness of the truth 25:34 | Newman: "To live is to change" 29:28 | The "illative sense" of the mind's assent to propositions 34:10 | Difficulties vs. doubt 35:54 | How Newman speaks to England now 37:55 | Listener question: How can priests improve preparation for homilies? 39:58 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/ NOTE: Do you like this podcast?

Subscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signupIn this episode of the DTC Podcast, host Eric Dyck sits down with Dougie, Head of the Google team at Pilothouse, to unpack how DTC brands can and should use YouTube advertising more strategically — especially when trying to build awareness and capture new demand before peak periods such as BFCM.Key moments & actionable insightsWhy YouTube upper‑funnel campaigns often fail: mis‑targeted audiences, automated overrides, and device‑versus‑user mismatch.How to set up placement, topic and keyword exclusions to avoid low‑quality traffic (e.g., gaming, ASMR, children's content).The importance of checking the actual served demographics in your audience reporting and comparing to your true converter demographics.How optimising for new customer conversions (instead of all conversions) can yield significant gains (e.g., +50% new customers, +15% share of new customers via Google).Why narrow geo‑targeting for awareness campaigns can improve measurability of incremental lift.Why brand‑lift studies may not be the most reliable metric and what alternatives to use (brand search lift, remarketing behaviour, time‑on‑site post‑click).Distinguishing between YouTube for pure awareness vs YouTube driving demand capture, and how budgets and measurement should differ accordingly.Whether you're a performance marketer at a growing DTC brand, or scaling marketing budgets and looking to break through awareness ceilings, this episode gives you tactical controls, audit steps and measurement frameworks to make your YouTube spend work harder.Timestamps00:00 – Why most advertisers are targeting the wrong audiences02:10 – How misaligned content (like kids' or gaming videos) wastes budget05:00 – The sneaky Demand Gen setting sabotaging your audience08:00 – How to force Google to find new customers only11:40 – Using Audience Insights to audit your actual converters14:00 – The evolution of YouTube as a top-of-funnel growth channel17:00 – Why Brand Lift studies can't be trusted and what to measure instead18:40 – Narrower geo-targeting for better awareness results20:00 – Step-by-step audit to fix your top-of-funnel YouTube campaignsHashtags#YouTubeAds #GoogleAds #YouTubeMarketing #PerformanceMarketing #DTC #Pilothouse #MarketingPodcast #AdStrategy #DemandGen #DigitalAdvertising Subscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signupAdvertise on DTC - https://dtcnews.link/advertiseWork with Pilothouse - https://www.pilothouse.co/?utm_source=AKNF556Follow us on Instagram & Twitter - @dtcnewsletterWatch this interview on YouTube - https://dtcnews.link/video

Corporatism, Rent-Seeking, and the Suffering Consumer Julia Cartwright Julia Cartwright discusses how younger consumers view capitalism negatively due to suffering from corporate practices, distinguishing between capitalism (fine) and corporatism (not fine). Corporatism is the entanglement of government and business, often through rent-seeking (investing in politics for favors, like lobbying). Examples include healthcare lobbying, increased airline flights for officials, and regulatory capture (like the CHIPS and Science Act favoring big tech). 1920 LIMOUSINE

Do you struggle with feeling like your happiness lives ‘out there' in the future – in the next partner, the next job, the next milestone? In this episode of the Healing + Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Judith Joseph, a renowned psychiatrist and researcher, to explore the difference between the happiness we chase and the joy we cultivate. Together, we unpack why so many high performers confuse burnout with depression — and how to rediscover a grounded, internally sourced sense of aliveness. Dr. Joseph shares the subtle signs of high-functioning depression, how unprocessed trauma can hide beneath busyness, and practical ways to reconnect with yourself. You'll learn her Five V's framework — Validate, Vent, Values, Vitals, and Vision — plus the 5-4-3-2-1 sensory practice to return to the present moment and healthy ways to release emotion without “trauma dumping.” We also dive into her latest research on joy in the digital age — including why two weeks without a smartphone can lift mood as powerfully as an antidepressant. You'll walk away with simple, science-backed tools to reset your nervous system, protect your mental health, and design your own blueprint for lasting joy and wellbeing. 0:00 – 1:20 Setting the frame: Why we chase happiness externally and how science tallies “points of joy.” 1:20 – 3:40 Joy vs. happiness: cultivating an internal resource for resilience (presence over postponement). 3:40 – 6:20 Burnout or depression? The stigma, the “always on” brain, and signs of high-functioning depression. 6:20 – 8:05 Inner restlessness, anhedonia, and why “I can't relax” persists even away from stressors. 8:05 – 10:15 The 5-4-3-2-1 practice: a sensory ritual to reclaim presence (mindful eating, savoring, connection). 10:15 – 12:05 Make it routine: how predictability settles your nervous system (Dr. Judith's coffee ritual). 12:05 – 14:30 “Pathologically productive:” succeeding on paper, suffering in silence — a 2020 wake-up call. 14:30 – 16:35 Why prevention matters: studying high-functioning depression before a full breakdown. 16:35 – 18:30 Not all trauma is “capital-T”: neglect, scarcity, and the invisible experiences that shape us. 18:30 – 21:05 Scarcity trauma vs. scarcity mindset: epigenetics, inherited behaviors, and overworking on autopilot. 21:05 – 23:00 Distinguishing love of learning from fear-driven achievement; checking the operating system. 23:00 – 25:10 The Five V's (part 1): Validate (name what's true) and Vent (without trauma dumping). 25:10 – 27:00 Healthy venting: emotional consent, reciprocity, journaling, prayer, and crying (90-second waves). 27:00 – 28:40 The Five V's (part 2): Values—prioritizing the priceless over the performative. 28:40 – 30:35 Collective & vicarious trauma: protecting your brain in a 24/7 news cycle. 30:35 – 32:10 RESET method: Realize, Educate, Strategy, Expectations, Thoughtfulness (boundaries with tech). 32:10 – 34:10 Smartphones & joy: why a “flip-phone fortnight” can feel like an antidepressant (more sleep, nature, connection). 34:10 – 35:10 The self-scrutiny trap: always seeing our own face, rising criticism, and lost social joy. 35:10 – 36:30 Digital age sanity: sleep hygiene, light exposure, and device boundaries that restore your brain. 36:30 – 37:35 “Understand the science of your happiness”: mapping your bio-psycho-social fingerprint. 37:35 – 39:00 The Five V's (part 3): Vision—plan your joy and celebrate small wins daily. 39:00 – 40:00 Closing: Joy heals communities; permission to feel good now + where to connect with Dr. Judith. === Want to go deeper on healing trauma?

All throughout this past month we've dedicated our focus to each of the elements—Fire, Earth, Air, and Water—and in that time we've been exploring literal and metaphorical examples of them in an individual sense. And yet, another branch of the conversation began to organically take form: how the elements compare and come together. Inspired by the amazing conversations inside That Witch School, and in my own personal experience moving through the Elemental Magick series, today I'm bringing you an episode that serves as an important bridge from this series into our next. Blending and distinguishing the different elements is a perfect way to practice and hone in on your energetic practice, intuitive abilities, and spirit work.★|| T H E N E I G H B O R H O O D ||Watch full episodes on my YouTube channel!Join us in That Witch School

Distinguishing Humane Nationalism from Pathological Ideologies Guest Name: Daniel Mahoney Summary:Nationalism must be distinguished from pathological forms like "blood and soil" ideology, which champions ethnic rooting and the subordination of others. Moderate, humane national loyalty is tied to self-government and common humanity, rejecting the path that leads to "zoological wars." Critics often unfairly conflate nationalism with isolationism or imperialism. 1916 SWITZERLAND

Every veterinary team has faced it: a client gets angry, raises their voice, and everyone wonders whether or not we should fire them. In this week's episode of The Veterinary Viewfinder, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, unpack one of the most difficult decisions veterinary professionals face: when to dismiss a client and when to repair the relationship. Using a real-life scenario, our hosts explore a situation where a client waited over an hour, understandably became upset, and complained, but didn't threaten or use abusive language. When the client voiced their frustration, the team's immediate response was, “Let's fire them.” Dr. Ward and Beckie discuss why this reaction is becoming more common post-COVID and how practices can avoid over-firing by improving communication, scheduling systems, and team resilience. Listeners will learn practical strategies like: * Distinguishing understandable frustration vs. true abuse. * Using empathy-driven scripts to de-escalate tense situations. * Scheduling tactics, including reserving 10–25% of slots for urgent care. * Coaching CSRs to handle conflict without escalating to dismissal. If your team has ever debated whether to fire a client after a bad interaction, this episode offers a thoughtful framework for protecting your staff, your clinic's reputation, and the client relationships that matter most. #VeterinaryPodcast #VetMed #VeterinaryProfession #VetTechLife #VetClinicLife #VeterinaryMedicine #VeterinaryCommunity #ClinicCulture #VeterinaryLeadership #TeamCommunication #PracticeManagement #ClientCommunication #VetTeamwork

In this episode, Travis is joined by his producer, Eric, to explore one of the most difficult questions in business, creative work, and personal finance: is it time to double down or to walk away? Using viral memes, classic motivational stories, and plenty of real-world examples, Travis breaks down the difference between grit and the sunk cost fallacy. If you've ever wrestled with whether to keep going or to cut your losses, this conversation gives you actionable strategies—and permission—to make your next decision with confidence. On this episode we talk about: The “three feet from gold” story and why it's not always as motivational as it seems Distinguishing persistence from stubbornness in business and creative pursuits The sunk cost fallacy and how it can keep you on the wrong path for too long Timing, luck, technology, and other factors that determine real success The importance of intuition and asking honest questions when deciding to persist or pivot Annie Duke's book "Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away" and actionable frameworks for tough decisions Top 3 Takeaways 1. Legendary persistence stories are rare because so few people actually strike gold—sometimes quitting is the healthiest, wealthiest move. 2. Set clear metrics and timelines: if you're not where you need to be by a set date, give yourself permission to step back and reassess. 3. Intuition is a powerful guide, but so is honest self-inquiry; journaling and brutal self-questioning can reveal when it's time to change lanes. Notable Quotes "Persistence is great advice—until it's not. The sunk cost fallacy never made anybody wealthy." "You have to be willing to pivot… sometimes persistence is just a fear of letting go and not knowing what comes next." "Set up a metric in your mind… and then if you're still banging your head against the wall at the end, you gotta be willing to pivot." ✖️✖️✖️✖️
Vanese McNeill, co-producer of the Magical Egypt series, returns to the show. In this episode, we explore the hows and possible whys of spirit involvement in history, from the super-elite level down to the everyday. And also across to some of the sillier claims about AI floating in the air like so many plasma entities. And all of this was inspired by a post Vanese wrote on the Magical Egypt substack about ontozoology back in June. So that's where we begin, and this is where we go after: 1. The Ontozoology Framework What invisible beings actually exist in the ecosystem Moving beyond Christian binary (demons vs. angels) to animist complexity The difference between malevolent, benevolent, and simply non-human agendas 2. Catherine Austin Fitts & Demonic Capital The exact quote about interdimensional intelligences controlling capital Why this is being discussed now by credible people The problem with oversimplifying complex entities as "Satan" 3. Conscious vs. Unconscious Elite Collaboration How much is deliberate ritual worship vs. unconscious possession The decline of magical literacy among modern elites Why materialist worldviews make people more vulnerable to influence 4. Historical Magic & Modern Mind Control Ancient Egyptian spirit relationships as information exchange How modern "operations" are rituals without the practitioners knowing it Predictive programming as contemporary magic 5. The AI & Slop Demon Problem Why "The Architect" and similar AIs aren't sentient but are dangerous How AI creates mental conditions ripe for spiritual colonisation The difference between AI hosting demons vs. AI making minds available for possession 6. UFOs, Aliens, and Interdimensional Beings The reframing of UFO phenomena as spiritual rather than extraterrestrial Catherine's invitation to meet "aliens in human bodies" Distinguishing between visiting organisms and native invisible ecology
