What was it really like to serve in the Peace Corps during its earliest days?In this episode, Gary R. Lindberg author of " The Vegetable Grows and the Lion Roars: My Peace Corps Service" shares extraordinary stories from his time as a Peace Corps Volunteer in the Ivory Coast during the 1960s — a bold era shaped by President John F. Kennedy's vision of global service. From building school gardens and working in remote villages to breaking down in the middle of nowhere, encountering camels, and traveling to legendary places like Timbuktu, Gary's journey is one of courage, curiosity, and cultural discovery.We explore: Life as an early Peace Corps Volunteer Daily village life in West Africa Adventures, challenges, and unexpected lessons How service shaped his life and career Gary Lindberg, a UC Berkeley graduate during the Free Speech Movement and a longtime human resources professional, reflects on how his Peace Corps experience influenced his worldview and lifelong path.This is a heartfelt, eye-opening conversation about service, adventure, and the power of stepping into the unknown.http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/2526kpp2.mp3 AMAZONhttps://garyrlindberg.com/https://www.kingpagespress.com/

Odille Sánchez leads the Tech and Scientific-Based Entrepreneurship Center of Excellence at Tecnológico de Monterrey, where she works with hundreds of early-stage founders across Latin America. In this episode, she explains how mindset, methodology, and community are reshaping what it means to launch a startup in a region where early capital is scarce and institutional support is fragmented. We also talk about: Why resource orchestration — not acceleration — is what most founders need How cultural attitudes toward risk impact founder behavior What Latin American investors and institutions can learn from each other Why commercialization is often the missing piece How to help first-time founders develop a global mindset from day one Whether you're supporting under-networked founders or trying to build in an emerging market, Odille offers a clear-eyed look at what it really takes to go from scarcity to scale.

In this podcast episode, Gayatri Kalyanaraman is in conversation with Kumaran Anandan, CTO of TinyMagiq and Enterprise Architect —shares a refreshingly honest journey across hardware, industrial automation, embedded systems, startups, consulting, and Microsoft. From writing programs on a programmable calculator (and storing them in audio cassettes!) to building deep learning habits through daily compounding, Kumaran explains why modern technologists must fall in love with failure, understand fundamentals, and stop building software without users who will pay. A thought-provoking conversation on architecture, human psychology, AI hallucinations, and what it really means to create value. 00:00 – 01:00 — Kumaran's self-introduction: experimenting constantly and looking forward to failures. 01:00 – 02:25 — Earliest career memory: building a DBase 3+ application for a school and earning a watch as his first “payment.”02:26 – 03:29 — Not getting campus placed, being an average student, and the early struggle of finding a job.03:29 – 05:20 — First software experience in 10th holidays: programmable Casio calculator, BASIC programming, and saving programs using an audio cassette tape.05:20 – 07:56 — Early career direction: interest in hardware, industrial automation, 8085 assembly programming, and learning through real-world constraints.07:56 – 10:12 — Moving up the stack: C/C++, antivirus software, Wipro's hardware + software work, and “mobile apps” before mobile became mainstream.10:12 – 11:34 — Entrepreneurship journey: starting a company during the internet boom, shutting it down after the bubble burst, then transitioning to Microsoft.11:36 – 12:29 — Kumaran's definition of good technology: anything that protects evenings and weekends from work.12:31 – 13:48 — A conscious career decision: taking a salary cut to work on hardware because learning mattered more than comfort.13:48 – 15:39 — Microsoft Consulting Services: being called only for complex “fires,” shorter engagements, and high learning intensity.15:39 – 17:23 — The daily learning habit: “Kumaran of yesterday won't be Kumaran today,” and how small learning compounds over time.17:24 – 19:28 — Curiosity beyond the surface: learning “under the hood,” connecting ideas across psychology, neuroscience, and technology.19:42 – 23:16 — Microsoft culture: self-learning, asking better questions, getting pointers instead of hand-holding, and building independent thinking.23:39 – 26:10 — Fundamentals matter: software is predictable (input–process–output), hardware is ambiguous, and AI changes predictability in software.26:36 – 29:21 — TinyMagiq and mentoring: serendipity, a clear timeline to quit corporate life, and why enterprise software rarely creates joy.30:39 – 33:35 — A common founder mistake: building for 14–18 months with no paying users and confusing “features built” with “value delivered.”33:35 – 36:46 — Pricing reality check: if nobody pays even ₹100, the problem isn't the market—it's unclear value and weak conviction.36:46 – 38:35 — “I don't like code”: code as debt, and why architecture must fight unnecessary complexity.38:35 – 41:19 — Loving failure: video games as a metaphor, why software needs failure-tolerance, and a warning to those who want “safe IT careers.”41:56 – 44:01 — Entrepreneurship mindset: de-addiction to monthly salary, India's services legacy, and why playing safe kills learning.44:01 – 46:40 — “Unlearning” is reframing: the hardest failure is success because it reinforces old patterns and makes change difficult.48:11 – 51:27 — AI hallucinations and “Maya”: why we're already trained to handle uncertainty, and how that applies to building AI systems.51:27 – 52:08 — Architecture simplified: an architect ensures user happiness through people, process, and technology.52:44 – 53:06 — Closing advice: be curious about how you can enjoy failure. Quotable Quotes “A person who keeps experimenting… and looks forward to failures.”“Kumaran of yesterday will not be the Kumaran who goes to sleep today.”“The power of compounding becomes very high.”“If you don't have a user who wants to pay for it… what is the value of your product?”“Even if you can't get somebody to pay you hundred rupees… you have not delivered that value.”“To me, a lot of code is nothing but debt.”“People should fall in love with failure.”“An architect is somebody who ensures happiness of the user.”“Be curious about how you can enjoy failure.”Kumaran Profile:Technology professional with 20+ years experience (Unix, Windows, Cloud AI)Conducts two podcast series: "Saturday Architecture" and "Mindset Matters"Experience spans from hands-on development to business architectureKnown for: Connecting technical and philosophical conceptsKey Philosophies:"If you don't have pain, you haven't done anything"Long-term thinking reveals patterns short-term goals missAge brings pattern recognition advantage despite reduced raw capacityCommon sense is the most uncommon thingKumaran can be contacted at https://www.linkedin.com/in/akumaran/ @ctomentor is Kumaran's twitter handle

In this latest edition of The Epstein Files Unsealed we get a look at the sworn statement and recorded interviews of a teenage girl who became entangled in Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking operation after being recruited by another minor, identified in the records as “Haley.” The girl initially described being told she was simply going along to collect money and go shopping, with no clear explanation of what would occur. She recounted being taken to Epstein's Palm Beach home, passing through security, and being left alone upstairs with Epstein after Haley remained downstairs. Under pressure and confusion, she was instructed to undress and give Epstein a massage, during which he masturbated and made sexually explicit comments. She was then paid $300 and sent away, with Epstein acting casually afterward and encouraging her to return. The girl's testimony shows she did not understand the full nature of what was expected of her until she was already isolated and in the situation, a pattern consistent with grooming and coercion rather than informed consent.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein Part 08 (Redacted).pdf

This episode features DeAndre's guest appearance on GeoBreeze Travel Podcast, hosted by Julia Menez. In this conversation, DeAndre revisits the most impactful lessons from the first year of Revolutionizing Your Journey, highlighting practical points-and-miles strategies pulled directly from the show's most popular episodes. Topics include maximizing everyday spending through shopping portals, choosing the right cards based on real data, avoiding common beginner pitfalls, and using simple tools to decide when to pay cash versus points.The episode also weaves in personal travel experiences and redemptions that shaped the show's early direction, offering a clear snapshot of the podcast's travel philosophy. For newer listeners, this serves as a guided recap of key episodes worth revisiting, all conveniently linked in the show notes. And while new recordings are paused during the honeymoon, behind-the-scenes travel moments continue on Instagram—from lie-flat business-class seats to luxury lounges and unforgettable destinations.Key Highlights:Points with purpose: Strong financial habits create the foundation for sustainable travel rewards.Transferable points matter: Flexibility unlocks better redemptions and more destinations.Shopping portals are a force multiplier: Everyday purchases can dramatically accelerate point balances.Data beats guesswork: Card recommendations backed by real spending patterns outperform generic advice.Family travel requires a different strategy: Status benefits and flexibility matter more with larger groups.Avoid analysis paralysis: Perfect redemptions aren't required to create meaningful trips.Tools simplify decisions: Flight comparison plugins and tracking apps remove friction from planning.Buying points can make sense—strategically: Timing and redemption planning determine real value.Status tracking is critical: Missing bonuses or miscalculating limits can erase months of effort.Action creates memories: Points deliver value only when they're redeemed.Episodes mentioned in this guest appearance:Ep. 8 - Unleashing the Power of Lux Travel Hacks with Andy CantuEp. 25 - How to Use Points & Miles to Plan Around-the-World Travel with the Point Sisters Ep. 32 - Maximizing Points and Miles Travel Rewards and Avoiding Pitfalls with Ryan Horn aka @profitsandpoints Ep. 38 - Points or Cash?

In this episode of SpaceTime, we uncover groundbreaking discoveries and exciting celestial events that illuminate our understanding of the universe.Earliest Supernova Ever DetectedAstronomers have achieved a remarkable milestone by detecting the earliest supernova ever observed, dating back to a mere 730 million years after the Big Bang. Using the powerful Webb Space Telescope, this supernova, cataloged as GRB250314A, emitted a gamma ray burst that has shattered previous distance records. Lead author Andrew Levin shares insights into how this discovery provides a glimpse into the universe when it was only 5% of its current age, revealing surprising similarities with modern supernovae despite the vast differences in their epochs.Liquid Water on Mars: New EvidenceNew seismic data from NASA's Mars InSight lander suggests that liquid water could still exist beneath the Martian surface, potentially providing a habitat for microbial life. The analysis of marsquakes has revealed boundaries in the Martian crust that indicate the presence of water-filled cracks, offering compelling evidence that life may persist on the Red Planet. We discuss the implications of these findings and the methodologies used to analyze the Martian subsurface.The Great Geminids Meteor Shower of 2025The annual Geminid meteor shower is reaching its peak, presenting stargazers with the chance to witness up to 100 meteors per hour under optimal conditions. Unlike many meteor showers that originate from comets, the Geminids are unique as they come from the asteroid 3200 Phaethon. Dr. Robert Massey provides tips on how to best observe this spectacular celestial event, emphasizing the importance of dark skies and the naked eye for optimal viewing.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstronomy and AstrophysicsBritish Medical JournalNature CommunicationsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) New clues suggest that liquid water could still exist on Mars today(00:00:48) Astronomers have detected the earliest supernova ever seen using the Webb Space Telescope(00:05:10) New study based on seismic data suggests liquid water may still exist on Mars(00:09:12) The Geminids are visible between now and December 20th(00:13:10) New study finds coffee may slow down biological aging of people with mental illnesses

Ancient bound books hidden in Jordan's caves for 2,000 years — The Lead Codices. David Elkington returns LIVE to share exclusive news on this discovery that could rewrite early Christianity. This Sunday we welcome back David Elkington, author of The Ancient Language of Sacred Sound and returning guest from Episode 280. David joins us with exclusive news about his latest project: The Lead Codices — a cache of ancient bound books discovered in caves in northern Jordan. Made of lead sheets bound with rings and stored in lead “arks,” these codices may be the earliest bound books ever found, dating back nearly 2,000 years. Inscribed in Paleo-Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, the texts are linked to the earliest followers of Jesus who fled Jerusalem during the Judeo-Roman war. Scientific analysis confirms their antiquity, with corrosion profiles consistent with artifacts from the first century. Could these mysterious codices rewrite our understanding of early Christianity? Join us LIVE as David reveals the story behind their discovery, the ongoing research, and why they matter today.

# James Webb Space Telescope Unveils Universe's Earliest Secrets in Latest DiscoveriesJourney through cosmic frontiers with "The Space Cowboy" podcast as we explore groundbreaking discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope. This episode reveals potentially the earliest supermassive black hole ever detected in galaxy GHZ2, just 350 million years after the Big Bang, challenging our understanding of cosmic evolution.Learn about Webb's confirmation of a surprisingly massive black hole in galaxy CANUCS-LRD-z8.6 from only 570 million years post-Big Bang, suggesting galaxies matured far earlier than predicted. We also discuss the possible detection of Population III stars—the universe's first generation of stars formed from pristine hydrogen and helium—in galaxy LAP1B.Other remarkable achievements include Webb creating the first-ever 3D map of exoplanet WASP-18b's atmosphere and capturing stunning imagery of the Apep triple star system. Join us as we explore how these discoveries are rewriting cosmic history and revealing the universe's earliest chapters.#JamesWebbTelescope #Astronomy #CosmicDiscoveries #Exoplanets #BlackHoles #SpaceExplorationSome great Deals https://amzn.to/49SJ3QsFor more check out http://www.quietplease.aiThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

5. The Raven: Mythology, Intelligence, and Return AUTHOR: Stephen Moss BOOK TITLE: 10 Birds That Changed the World This excerpt examines the large, highly intelligent Raven (a crow on steroids). Its deep mythology stretches from the earliest civilizations, including Norse legend, where Odin's ravens (Huginn and Muninn) flew around the world as his eyes and ears. The myth states that if the ravens leave the Tower of London, the kingdom will fall. Historically regarded as harbingers of doom and persecuted as scavengers, ravens are currently making a successful, adaptable comeback in Britain. 1849

PREVIEW HEADLINE: The Earliest Printing Press: Stamped Bricks of Mesopotamia GUEST NAME: Muriel al-Rashid SUMMARY: John Bachelor interviewed author Muriel al-Rashid about her book Between Two Rivers: The Story of Mesopotamian Civilizations. The conversation covered stamped bricks used in ziggurats, like the one built by Ur-Nammu at Ur around 2000 BCE. These stamps served as the earliest printing press, detailing the builder, the building, and the dedication to a god, eliminating the need for scribes. 1923 BAGHDAD

PREVIEW: GUEST: Moudhy al-Rashid SUMMARY: Moudhy al-Rashid discusses her book, Between Two Rivers, focusing on stamped bricks found in Mesopotamian ziggurats (like Ur). These 4,000-5,000-year-old stamps, deemed the earliest printing press, recorded the king's name (like Ur-Nammu, c. 2000 BCE) and the god to whom the building was dedicated. Stamping bypassed the need for scribes. 1923 BAGHDAD
