As 2025 comes to a close, AI hype is still everywhere, workers are feeling the strain of constant change, and organizations are quietly reorganizing who (or what) does the work. We're ending the year with some big questions: What happens to the “middle” of organizations? How do humans fit into increasingly AI-driven systems? And where does real value—human and otherwise—get created? With only a few days left until the new year, Rodney Evans and Sam Spurlin look ahead to how AI, jobs, and organizational life will shift in 2026—from real white-collar displacement and the rise of internal org-design teams to employees quietly choosing AI over difficult human teammates. -------------------------------- Ready to change your organization? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Let's talk.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get our newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -------------------------------- Mentioned references: "⁠US military met recruiting goals ahead of schedule" "AI workslop" "Steam game marketplace, AI labeling" 00:00 Intro + Check-In: What's a reflection you have on 2025? 03:44 Prediction 1: Hype cycle around AGI will break 05:03 Prediction 2: 2026 is tipping point for white collar AI job disruption 09:53 Prediction 3: Demand for internal OD teams increases 12:11 Prediction 4: People will start choosing AI over their coworkers for collab 15:04 Prediction 5: Divide between legacy orgs and AI-native micro orgs will grow 17:48 Prediction 6: New premium on human-crafted products and experience 21:57 Wrap up: Leave us a review, and see you in 2026 Sound engineering and design by Taylor Marvin of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Coupe Studios⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

En este episodio de La Espuma de los Días, el pastor Diego Lucero nos confronta con una pregunta urgente: ¿en qué momento el mensaje de Jesús, el gran Unificador, se convirtió en un arma de división religiosa y social? A través del ejemplo del pesebre, la obra sanadora de Cristo y el llamado a la unidad del Reino, reflexionamos sobre cómo el dogma, el poder y las trincheras doctrinales han desplazado la misión central del Evangelio: amar, reconciliar y liberar. Una conversación profunda, honesta y necesaria para volver al corazón del mensaje de Jesús.

THE POLITICS OF TRIBUNES AND REFORM Colleague Douglas Boin. Boin details the divide between the Optimates and Populares. He explains how Clodia and her brother Clodius used the office of Tribune—the "people's protector" with veto power—to enact reforms. This strategy allowed them to challenge the Senate's authority and set the stage for Clodius's political dominance. NUMBER 14

After weeks of buildup and anticipation, Christmas and Yule have now passed. Whether your holiday was joyous or challenging, you'll likely be experiencing a let-down after the outpouring of holiday energy. There's a great temptation to dive headfirst into the new year without taking time to pause… but pause we must. Nature shows us that January is not the time to push and bloom, it's the time to rest and plan. Before taking action, follow nature's lead and lay dormant for a little while. Allow yourself to envision without the need to produce. The time will come to bloom, but for now simply be. What am I reading?Witches of Honeysuckle House by Liz Parkerhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9798892421997The Anatomy of Anxiety: Understanding and Overcoming the Body's Fear Response by Ellen Vora, MDhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780063075108https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?Worst Enemy by Marino What's for dinner?Black Lentil SoupIngredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil1 large onion, finely chopped2 carrots, diced2 celery stalks, diced3 cloves garlic, minced1/2 teaspoon turmeric1 tablespoon tomato paste1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes2-3 tablespoons miso paste 1 cup black lentils, rinsed and drained4 cups vegetable broth or bone broth1 cup baby spinach1 tablespoon lemon juiceSalt and pepper to tasteInstructions:In a large pot, add the olive oil and heat over medium heat for 30 seconds.Add the onion, carrot, and celery and cook for 6-7 minutes or until the vegetables have softened slightly.Add the garlic, tomato paste, miso paste, and turmeric.

What do a 1970 psychology experiment and the 2008 housing crash have in common? In Episode 6 of Built to Divide, Dimitrius Lynch traces how social identity theory—the instinct to form “us vs. them” groups—became a political weapon that helped sell a bipartisan push for mass homeownership, weaken skepticism, and pave the way for subprime mortgages, mortgage-backed securities (MBS), CDOs, and a crisis engineered by incentives.We move from NAFTA-era globalization and Peter Drucker's “core competencies” mindset, to the dot-com bust, Fed rate cuts, and the explosion of “stated income” lending. The episode spotlights Washington Mutual (WaMu)—from community-friendly bank to shareholder-driven mortgage machine—then follows the collapse, the scapegoating of low-income borrowers, and the rise of institutional investors turning foreclosures into portfolios. A story about housing, finance, and the narratives that keep us divided—even when the math says we share the same stakes.Episode Extras - Photos, videos, sources and links to additional content found during research.Episode Credits:Production in collaboration with Gābl MediaWritten & Executive Produced by Dimitrius LynchAudio Engineering and Sound Design by Jeff Alvarez

In this episode, Joel Crawford and Cody Frost, two experienced overlanders, share a chilling overnight encounter deep in Washington State's Gifford Pinchot National Forest, near Ape Canyon, Muddy River, and the infamous Dark Divide. What began as a routine camping trip quickly turned unsettling when unexplained radio-like static, heavy footsteps, and coordinated movement around their camp broke the silence of the forest.As the night progressed, something physically shook a detached overland trailer, despite no visible animals or people nearby. Later, strange call-and-response vocalizations echoed through the ravine, moving rapidly through dense old-growth forest. Multiple members of the group—including children—heard the activity, confirming this was not an isolated experience.This episode explores possible Sasquatch activity, unexplained phenomena reported by overlanders, and why the Gifford Pinchot National Forest continues to be one of the most mysterious and active areas for unexplained encounters in North America.ResourcesJeremiah's hat worn in this episode provided by Squatch'n game and available at https://playitforwardstudios.com/Joel and Cody on Salish Sasquatch Channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Y07p13RgOU&t=1634s

Self-expression is crucial for fulfillment in work and life. Understanding one's value is key to success in business. Empathy and compassion are vital in connecting with customers. A unified culture enhances collaboration and growth. Scaling a business requires developing its people, not just increasing demands.

How To Calculate Warrant Coverage Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. A warrant is the right to buy a company's stock at a specific price or range over a certain time period. The warrant acts like an option, but it issues stock, which dilutes the cap table. Founders raising funding offer warrants to incentivize investors to fund the company. Warrant coverage is the number of warrants an investor receives based on the size of their investment. It's typically stated as a percentage such as 5% or 10%. Here's how to calculate warrant coverage: Take the number of shares at a specific price per share as the initial investment. Take the number of shares to be provided as warrants. Divide the number of warrants by the number of shares of the initial investment to reach a warrant coverage amount. Here's an example. The founder offers 50,000 additional shares to those who invest in 500,000 shares at $3 per share. The warrant coverage is 50,000 divided by 500,000 at $3 per share, generating a 10% warrant coverage. Consider these calculations in offering warrants in your fundraiser. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

Kev is joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe to look back on a night which carried a lot of the same of what we have seen over the past two years. The lads go through the Town players shooting themselves in the foot before going through the bits of the game that were good for the Hatters. The chaps discuss the parts of the performance we can move forward with and what needs binning as soon as possible before Jimbo provides some views on a huge talking point. There's been a lot said online about what happened in the away end after the final whistle.

A dangerous shift is happening inside conservative and Christian circles, and it is weakening our ability to discern truth from distraction. I address the growing influence of conspiracy driven voices like Candace Owens, examine the disturbing Australian Hanukkah shooting, and reflect on the unfortunate news of Rob Reiner. Together, these stories reveal how confusion replaces clarity when truth is untethered from wisdom and why the Church must return to sober discernment in this hour.   Podcast Episode 1971: How Fear and Suspicion Are Being Used to Divide the Right | don't miss this!

In August 1971, Richard Nixon went on television and detonated the global financial system. By severing the U.S. dollar from gold, the Nixon Shock ended Bretton Woods, ushered in fiat money, and unleashed a new era of credit, speculation, and inequality. What followed wasn't just inflation and currency volatility—it was a fundamental rewiring of housing, wealth, and power.In this episode of Built to Divide, Dimitrius Lynch traces how the end of the gold standard collided with housing policy, stagflation, and a rising market-first ideology. As public housing construction collapsed, Section 8 vouchers expanded, the mortgage interest deduction quietly became America's largest housing subsidy, and real estate lobbying reshaped Washington. Jimmy Carter framed housing as a moral obligation—but crisis, inflation, and backlash undercut reform. Then came Milton Friedman, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, and the think-tank machine, turning deregulation, tax cuts, and privatization into governing doctrine.The result? Housing shifted from shelter to leverage. Neighborhoods hardened. Inequality accelerated. McMansions replaced porches. Master-planned enclaves rose as public responsibility retreated. And the rails were laid for subprime lending, securitization, and collapse.This is the episode where money floats, housing fractures, and the modern economy takes its irreversible turn.Episode Extras - Photos, videos, sources and links to additional content found during research.

Before forming ROSEBUDTHORN, Katie and UAP released a collaborative album called Transatlantic, which featured Talita -- the very first track born from their partnership. While they have not yet released a full album as ROSEBUDTHORN, they highlight their latest single Reflection in this episode, a song that blends Katie's layered acoustic guitars with UAP's synth-driven soundscapes and Hammond-style organ flourishes. Together, Katie and UAP recount their first live performance at Schloss Bevern Castle in Germany, the creation of Transatlantic, and the evolution of their unique sound -- marrying indie-pop melodies, acoustic textures, synthwave atmospheres, and heartland rock energy. Looking ahead, they hope to release a debut ROSEBUDTHORN album in the near future. Tune in to hear snippets of Katie's solo work (Crossfire and Stress Dreams), UAP's signature track (so far), City Be Your Monster, their collaborative album Transatlantic, and ROSEBUDTHORN's single Reflection, plus behind-the-scenes stories of collaboration across continents.

From Baltimore, Maryland to Holzminden, Germany, two independent artists have bridged five time zones to create a new transatlantic sound. In this episode of Derringer Discoveries, Paul and Alton sit down with Katie Tich and UAP (Rainer Aschemeier) -- the duo behind ROSEBUDTHORN -- to explore how their collaboration grew from remote songwriting into a full-fledged band. Katie, a returning Honorary Derringer, shares her journey as an indie singer-songwriter and discusses two of her recent solo releases: Crossfire and her newest track, Stress Dreams.

Pricey VIP experiences are increasingly for sale in places like theme parks, concert venues and ski resorts. So what does it mean for us to be divided into the haves and the have-mores? We examine what the sale of Warner Bros. could mean for the future of entertainment. And why are Canadians paying through le nez for French butter?

This week on Golf & Politics, Matt Parker and Rob Ellsworth sit down with Brent Buchanan — president of Cygnal and one of the most accurate pollsters in modern politics — to break down the forces shaping America's political landscape and the emotional currents driving voters today. Brent takes us inside his new book, America's Emotional Divide, unpacking why emotions—not logic—steer decisions, how negative ads tap into our survival instincts, and why 2024 became a perfect case study for understanding voter behavior. From the culture-war ad that shifted the race to the collapse of shared truth in the media, to why authenticity now beats ideology — this conversation touches every corner of politics, psychology, and modern campaigning. The guys also dive deep into religion, polarization, fragmented media, cultural identity, and how candidates can actually connect with voters in a world where everyone is living in a different reality. And of course, we bring it back to golf — exploring what political candidates can learn from elite players' emotional discipline, and hearing Brent's dream foursome. ⸻

La concesión del Nobel de la Paz 2025 a la líder opositora venezolana María Corina Machado ha desatado una ola de reacciones encontradas. Para algunos, el galardón simboliza la defensa de la resistencia civil frente al autoritarismo; para otros, premia a una figura que ha alentado la intervención extranjera y agrava la polarización en Venezuela. Artículo publicado por por primera vez el 17 de octubre 2025 Amores y odios, suscita la figura de María Corina Machado como Nobel de Paz 2025. Para Kristian Herbolzheimer, director del Instituto Catalán para la Paz (ICIP), la elección del comité noruego alerta sobre el peligro y retroceso de las democracias en el mundo de hoy. "Es un mensaje que trasciende significativamente el caso específico de Venezuela -dice a RFI- y el premio Nobel se otorga a una persona por su labor de resistencia civil no violenta frente a un régimen que manipuló claramente el resultado de las últimas elecciones. Ella tiene la capacidad de articular una oposición fragmentada, dividida, y resistir en este caso, incluso desde la crandestinidad frente a este régimen."  Pero hay quienes critican que se haya otorgado el Nobel de la Paz a la líder de la línea dura de la oposición venezolana. Recientemente aplaudió el despliegue de buques de guerra estadounidenses en el Mar Caribe para atacar a supuestos narcotraficantes al servicio de un cartel cuyo cerebro, según el gobierno de Donald Trump estaría en el Palacio de Miraflores.  Leer tambiénReacciones contrastadas en Venezuela tras el anuncio del Nobel de la Paz para Machado "La voz más fuerte a favor de este tipo de intervención militar de Estados Unidos dentro de Venezuela es María Corina Machado, dice Alexander Main, director de política internacional del Centro de Investigación en Política y Economía (Cíper), con sede en Washington. "Es una posición controvertida dentro de Venezuela y dentro de la misma oposición venezolana que le han criticado mucho. Por ejemplo, Enrique Capriles (el ex candidato presidencial), ha denunciado tanto la campaña militar de Estados Unidos en el Caribe, con la matanza extrajudicial de venezolanos y otras personas no identificadas, y ha también denunciado la posibilidad de una intervención militar estadounidense en Venezuela. Lamentablemente, lo que se escucha a nivel internacional, es la voz de María Corina Machado, porque también es la dirigente de oposición, y quien tiene el mayor apoyo de Estados Unidos, del mismo secretario de Estado, Marco Rubio. "Main concluye que "esta elección de Machado como nueva Premio Nobel de la Paz, va a fomentar más división y tal vez más violencia en Venezuela."  Tras recibir el galardón, María Corina Machado escribió en X que dedica "este premio al pueblo venezolano que sufre y a Trump por su apoyo decisivo a nuestra causa".

In this solo episode, I walk through 10 concrete rules to get way more out of Claude Code and Claude Opus 4.5, based directly on tips Anthropic has shared in their docs and blog posts. I show how to move from vague prompts to architected briefs that use tone, constraints, structure, and power phrases to avoid “AI slop.” I demo examples across writing, research, teaching, and planning so you can see exactly how to apply each rule. By the end, you have a practical playbook for prompting Claude like a teammate and using it as a true thinking partner in your work. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 00:56 – Rule #1: Tone of collaboration 02:16 – Rule #2: Principle of explicitness (action verbs, quantity, audience) 03:20 – Rule #3: Define the boundaries with clear constraints 04:26 – Rule #4: Draft, plan, then act (outline → refine → execute) 06:39 – Rule #5: Demand structured output (tables, formats, schemas) 08:00 – Rule #6: Explain the “why” behind your request 09:05 – Rule #7: Control brevity vs. verbosity (expert, brief, simplifier) 10:21 – Rule #8: Provide a scaffold and templates 11:21 – Rule #9: Use “power phrases” and expert personas 12:28 – Rule #10: Divide and conquer complex projects 14:09 – Putting it all together with an example For founders doing $50k+ MRR+: https://startup-ideas-pod.link/offline-mode Key Points I share 10 specific prompting rules that come directly from how Anthropic suggests people use Claude. I show how friendly, clear, and firm prompts beat either vague or overly polite requests. I demonstrate how explicit constraints (length, style, audience, banned words) create more creative and focused outputs. I use outlines, scaffolds, and structured formats to turn Claude into a planning and synthesis engine instead of a random text generator. I introduce “power phrases” like “think step by step” and “critique your own response” to unlock more advanced reasoning. I wrap everything into a final Stoicism lecture prompt that combines persona, context, constraints, structure, and tone.

Sheriff Chris Swanson strives to live in the moment: On May 30th 2020, when he found himself in the center of a volatile situation, he chose to listen to the people he has sworn to protect, put down his baton, and walk with them by their side. And in doing so, more than a billion people across the world tuned in to see one everyday person change the tide from negative to positive, from what could have been bad to something good. While the world around us seems to be on a constant, unstoppable path of division, Sheriff Chris continues to embrace unity, through his community in Flint, Michigan and beyond. We talk a lot on this show about shining the light into - and finding the light in - the darkness. Sheriff Chris is doing that on the daily. This episode is one of the most profoundly inspiring and uplifting ones we've ever offered and serves as the perfect way to close out the year with you, our good listeners, reminding you that there IS still good out there, lots of it, and you - YES YOU - can find and be that good yourself. _________________________________ GOOD HOLIDAY GIFT ALERT: Steve's third book in his cozy mystery series, THE DOG WALKING DETECTIVES is finally here: SEASON'S SLAYINGS lights up the holidays!

In the summer heat of Birmingham, children faced police dogs and fire hoses. On a bus in Montgomery, a 15-year-old refused to stand. From Claudette Colvin to Rosa Parks, from Greensboro counters to the March on Washington—the Civil Rights Movement shook America awake. Yet, even as laws changed, maps and mortgages quietly redrew the lines of belonging.In this episode of Built to Divide, Dimitrius Lynch tracks what happened after the marches. The Civil Rights Act outlawed discrimination, but zoning boards found new tools to enforce it. Highways tore through Black neighborhoods in San Francisco and Detroit. Urban renewal became “Negro removal.” Birmingham forced the country to look. Kennedy named it a moral crisis. Johnson created HUD, appointing Robert C. Weaver, the first Black cabinet secretary. Then came the pivot—Section 235, 236, vouchers, block grants, Pruitt-Igoe, Moses vs. Jacobs, Nixon's New Federalism, and a shift from building homes to subsidizing rent.This is the story of how a movement won rights—but lost ground in planning rooms, mortgage offices, and zoning maps. How public housing gave way to vouchers. How the market replaced the public builder. And how America traded homes as social infrastructure for housing as financial asset.If you want to understand why affordability collapsed, why public housing withered, why vouchers fall short, and how modern inequality took shape—Episode 4 shows the pivot point.Episode Extras - Photos, videos, sources and links to additional content found during research.

Artificial intelligence or AI's huge appetite for power is reviving demand for older and dirtier fossil fuel energy. We talk about the massive data centers that power AI, community pushback, and how AI seems to be putting vital climate targets out of reach.  Also, the Make America Healthy Again or MAHA movement has pinpointed some health concerns backed up by credible research, including concerns about pesticides such as the probable carcinogen glyphosate, the key ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup. But after agribusiness lobbying the Trump Administration erased pesticides from its MAHA Commission report.  And Braiding Sweetgrass author Robin Wall Kimmerer is also the author of a 2024 book that continues her explorations of gift economies. She shares insights from The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World and how gift economies can offer an alternative to overconsumption. Learn more about your ad choices.
