For decades, building software meant doing eighty percent of the hard work before you had anything to show for it. AI just flipped that equation. And it's creating a risk nobody planned for.In this episode of The Catalyst, host Katey Teekasingh explores vibe coding — the technology that lets anyone build software by describing what they want in plain language. It was named Collins Dictionary's 2025 Word of the Year. It's already inside your organization. And in late 2025, it might have taken down Amazon's own cloud for thirteen hours.Three experts break down where vibe coding genuinely helps, where it's dangerous, and what to put in place before it touches anything that matters.In This EpisodeWhy “the pilot is dead, long live the pilot” — and what that means for how mid-market IT teams test new ideasThe 80/20 flip that makes AI-generated code fundamentally different from everything before itWhat happened at Amazon when an AI coding tool deleted a live production environmentThe five questions every IT leader should answer before a single line of AI code gets generatedGuestsGreg Whalen, CTO, Prove AIRon Espinosa, Director, Google Category, SoftchoiceSean Larkin, AI Principal Architect, SoftchoiceSupport Our SponsorThis episode of The Catalyst is brought to you by Veeam Data Cloud Vault — fully managed, secure cloud storage for your backups, with no surprise bills and zero configuration headaches. Sign up for their AWS Demo Series and see it in action:https://veeam.com/aws-native-backup-demo-series.htmlThe Catalyst by Softchoice is the podcast dedicated to exploring the intersection of humans and technology. 

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has become increasingly popular among veterans, and it's not just about fitness or learning a martial art. For many former service members, grappling provides something deeper: structure, challenge, camaraderie, and a constructive outlet for stress.In this episode, we explore why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tends to resonate so strongly with veterans after military service. We discuss the psychological and physiological factors that make grappling uniquely appealing to people who spent years operating in high-pressure environments.We also talk about how Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu recreates controlled stress in a safe setting, teaches calm decision-making under pressure, and builds strong communities that can help fill the void many veterans experience after leaving the military.For some veterans, the mats become more than just a place to train—they become a place to reconnect with discipline, teamwork, and personal growth.Whether you're a veteran who trains, someone considering starting, or simply curious about the connection between martial arts and military culture, this episode takes a closer look at why so many veterans eventually find their way into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gyms.In This Episode We DiscussWhy veterans often seek challenge and structure after leaving military serviceHow Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu creates controlled stress in a safe environmentThe psychology of problem solving under pressureWhy grappling teaches calmness during physical stressThe role of camaraderie and community in martial arts gymsHow disciplined training environments resonate with military cultureWhy Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu often becomes a long-term pursuit for veteransKey TakeawayFor many veterans, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu offers more than a workout. It provides a structured environment that combines physical challenge, mental engagement, and community—elements that closely mirror aspects of military life.Join the ConversationAre you a veteran who trains Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? What made you start training?Share your experience—we'd love to hear your story.

In this thought-provoking episode of The Quiet Warrior Podcast, I talk with Christian Schnepf, founder of The Science of Good Times and creator of the Good Times App — the world's first data-based navigation system for life.Drawing on years of cross-cultural exploration and PhD-level research at Shanghai University, Christian shares his mission to make the conscious pursuit of good times the number one priority in human life. Blending philosophy, physics, and psychology, he reveals how we can cultivate more flow, joy, and fulfillment — not by doing more, but by learning when to let go, relax, and be fully present.Key TakeawaysThe turning point: Christian's personal crisis led him to question conventional success and seek a more meaningful design for life.Defining a “good time”: A moment when you feel fully attracted to your experience — who you are, where you are, what you do, who you're with, and what you receive.The five life areas:SelfSocial relationshipsActionsRewards (money, love, acknowledgement)EnvironmentThe flow of energy: Good times occur when energy flows freely; bad times signal energy blockages.The art of doing nothing: True rest means surrendering control — not performing, producing, or even trying to relax.Fear vs. love: We either move away from fear or toward love. Living consciously means walking toward what attracts and nourishes us.The role of awareness: Checking in with ourselves helps reveal what truly feels good, rather than what society or algorithms dictate.The Good Time Ratio (GTR): A simple metric to track how often you feel attracted to your experiences — a practical step toward more conscious living.Connect with Christian SchnepfWebsite: https://chrisw.coGoodTime App: https://goodtime.appYouTube: https: //www.youtube.com/@chriswgtInstagram: https: //www.instagram.com/chrisw.gt/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chrisw.gt/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisw-gtConnect with SerenaIf you're a quiet woman leader ready to be visible without performing extroversion or burning out, the Visible Introvert community has the solution.

From accidental quality professional to global quality leader - Valerie Brown's story is one of courage, curiosity, and conviction.In today's episode I was joined by Valerie Brown, Head of Global Quality Assurance and Compliance at Thermo Fisher Scientific's Clinical Research Group.I really wanted to speak to Valerie because she brings something different to the quality leadership conversation. Yes, she has held senior quality roles across innovator companies, CDMOs, and now one of the largest CROs in the world. But what makes her story compelling is how she got there - and what she learned along the way.Valerie didn't plan to work in quality. At 22, she was asked to be a scribe for an FDA inspection. The host fell ill on the day. She stepped in - no preparation, no safety net - and handled it.Someone told her she had a knack for it. She wasn't sure she agreed. She still wanted to be in the lab, in manufacturing, doing what she knew. But that moment planted a seed.What followed was a career that took her across CDMOs, innovator companies including Gilead Sciences, and now Thermo Fisher - where she leads global quality assurance and compliance for the clinical research group. She has sat on both sides of the table, as sponsor and as service provider, and that experience shapes everything about how she leads.We talk about the following:How Valerie accidentally became a quality professional, and why that unplanned start shaped everything that followedWhat it felt like to host an FDA inspection at 22, with no preparation and no safety netHer philosophy of servant leadership and what it really means to lead with empathy in a regulated environmentThe challenge of transforming a fragmented quality organisation into a connected, strategic function at Thermo FisherThe difference between working on the innovator side versus the CRO side - and the unique skill set the latter demandsWhy speed and quality are not in conflict, and how embedding quality by design from the outset actually accelerates deliveryHer approach to talent development - why she prefers to grow leaders from within and how she identifies that potential earlyThe growing importance of AI and digital governance in regulated environments, and why quality professionals need to engage with these tools nowWhat keeps her up at night heading into 2026 - from talent gaps to trial complexity to the pace of regulatory changeThe advice she would give her younger self, and what she believes every aspiring quality leader needs to understandValerie Brown is a highly accomplished global quality leader whose career is a masterclass in adaptability, influence, and patient-centric thinking. She leads with purpose, develops people with intention, and approaches every challenge with the mindset of a problem solver - exactly the kind of leader our industry needs more of.Thank you Valerie for sharing your incredible journey. Hope everyone enjoys the show!

Send us a textHeather and Vanessa welcome Jacob Diaz, Naturopathic Practitioner, back to the show for the third time! Our topic is "what if germs aren't the enemy, but messengers of a deeper imbalance?" To answer this question, we explore pleomorphism, microzyma, mold, parasites, gut health, and the terrain-based model of healing, a perspective that radically challenges the fear-based narratives of modern medicine.We dive into the work of early scientists who questioned germ theory and proposed that disease arises from a weakened or toxic terrain, not from pathogens themselves. Jacob explains how microbes, mold, fungi, and even parasites are part of the body's adaptive and intelligent response to stress, inflammation, toxicity, and low cellular energy.Specifically, Jacob explains:Why mold exposure alone doesn't cause illnessHow microzyma transform in response to the body's internal environmentThe homotoxicology model and why symptoms are often signs of healingWhy suppressing symptoms creates chronic diseaseThe misunderstood role of histamine, fungus, and inflammationWhy parasites may be symbiotic waste managers, not invadersGut healing beyond probiotics: sunlight, raw foods, structured water & circadian biologyEmotional trauma, nervous system regulation, and their impact on digestion and immunityThis episode is an invitation to step out of fear-based health thinking and into a deeper trust in the body's wisdom. Rather than fighting microbes, we explore how to restore terrain, voltage, and vitality so the body can self-regulate as designed.If you've felt confused, overwhelmed, or even harmed by aggressive cleanses, antimicrobial protocols, or constant pathogen-hunting, this conversation offers a grounded, empowering reframe! Connect with Jacob:Social: https://www.instagram.com/undercovervirologist?igsh=bWFjZnVmYmx4MXFvWebsite: https://www.terrainuv.com/Podcast: Support the showFind Heather:https://calendly.com/enlightenedmoodhttps://www.instagram.com/enlightenedmood/Discount codes:https://www.vivarays.com ➡️ Code: enlightenedmood.comhttps://midwestredlighttherapy.com/affiliate/enlightenedmood/ https://www.emr-tek.com/enlightenedmood ➡️ Code: enlightenedmood Find Vanessa:https://instagram.com/bright_light_wellness/vanessabaldwin/Website: https://brightlightwellnesscoach.com/Discount codes:Free Product Guide http://gem.godaddy.com/signups/3cdbe47a101a4d2d9b991e9b5c9a981e/join Free Homeopathy Guide http://gem.godaddy.com/signups/425d2c01be2848b79193824b3e00c71f/join

"We're not just telling stories anymore—we're helping people make sense of the world."That's the powerful message behind this week's episode of Nonprofit Nation featuring Kristen Grimm, founder and strategist of Spitfire Strategies, a leading communications firm that helps nonprofits, foundations, and social changemakers sharpen their voice and deepen their impact.In this conversation, Kristen introduces the concept of “meaning-making” — the process of helping people interpret what's happening around them, understand what it means, and decide how to act. With the world experiencing unprecedented levels of uncertainty, polarization, and complexity, Kristen argues that communicators now face a once-in-a-generation opportunity to help people cut through the noise and find clarity, purpose, and direction.Drawing on her recently published meaning-making blog series, Kristen shares a timely roadmap for nonprofit leaders looking to rise above the chaos and communicate with resonance. You'll hear about the different phases of meaning-making, how to spot a "meaning-making window" when it opens, and why now is the time to shift from persuasion to perspective-shaping.

Mansfield, Victoria: A Cryptozoological HotspotIntroductionMansfield, located in Victoria, has gained a notable reputation within the cryptozoological community. The area is particularly recognised for frequent reports of big black cat sightings, often described as panthers by eyewitnesses. These accounts have contributed to Mansfield's standing as one of Victoria's focal points for mysterious creature investigations in Australia.Patterns of Cryptid SightingsInterestingly, regions that produce reports of one type of cryptid often become sites for sightings of other unexplained creatures. Mansfield is no exception, with its landscape fostering an environment where multiple cryptozoological phenomena might be encountered.Geography and EnvironmentThe eastern side of Mansfield transitions into the rugged Victorian high country, part of the Great Dividing Range (GDR). In contrast, the western side features extensive bodies of water, such as Lake Eildon. The area is characterised by wild, remote terrain and a sparse human population, making it an ideal setting for reports of many elusive creatures.For more comprehensive information, reports and history of the Yowie, visit our Website at www.yowiehunters.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/yowiehunters-witness-reports.

In today's episode, I share some personal reflections on the often-stigmatized topic of overeating, particularly in the aftermath of holiday indulgence. I talk about my own Easter “nutritional chaos,” and realistic expectations with your relationship with food. With a mix of humor and sincerity, the discussion turns to the difference between overeating and binge eating, emphasizing that the former is a normal part of life and not synonymous with a disorder. The episode serves as a reminder that perfection in dietary habits is neither attainable nor desirable. So lighten up, mkay?“Your messed up relationship with food and your body affects the people around you in more ways than you like to admit.”- IrisDeadliftsThis week on Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck:The important distinction between overeating and binge eatingWhat “all foods fit” actually meansHow managing expectations can dramatically influence our progressWhy beating yourself up for overeating is ridiculous and goofy, so stop itTips on managing temptation by rearranging one's environmentThe importance of periodic maintenance phasesThe responsibility all humans have to deconstruct their mindset about food, body, and exerciseConnect with Us:Meri on InstagramIris Deadlifts on InstagramAmy Rudolph on InstagramUnderstand Binge Eating with Chase Smith EpisodeThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

What makes a city fertile ground for creative reinvention? In this episode, we sit down with Fred Fisher, one of the architects immortalized in the iconic 1980 photograph on the sands of Venice Beach, and now a pillar of the Ojai community.The photo, taken by Abe Pildas of Fisher, Robert Mangurian, Eric Owen Moss, Coy Howard, Craig Hodgetts, Thom Mayne, and Frank Gehry for Interiors Magazine, captured a very specific moment when LA, viewed as a backwater, was about to take its place among the front rank of cities for design and innovation, largely because of the work of these "rebel architects."Fred was recently featured in Rebel Architects: From Venice to the World Stage, a new 12-part documentary hosted by Frances Anderton, revisiting those heady years in L.A. when low rents, maverick ambition, and cross-disciplinary collision yielded landmark architecture. World-Architects+2Archinect+2In our wide-ranging conversation, we explore:What “place” means to a designer — and how 1970s–80s L.A. left indelible marks on its built environmentThe shift from being perceived as a cultural backwater to becoming a global arts hubFred's role in that transformation — creative risks, collaborative intensity, and surprising mistakesHow his identity as an Ojai neighbor and arts advocate shapes his perspective todayThis episode is for anyone curious about the alchemy of architecture, community, and time — and how one generation's restless ambition becomes the foundation for the next. We did not talk about mahseer fishing in the Himalayas, jai alai or the literary stylings of Nelson Algren.Tune in and step into that moment with us.

It promises fewer parts, lower costs, and faster assembly. But Jan Griffiths asks a bigger question: if automakers can reinvent the product, why not reinvent the way business gets done?That's where Kate Vitasek comes in. As the creator of the Vested Methodology, Kate has spent more than 20 years studying how companies negotiate. She joins Jan to unpack how the old “win at all costs” mindset still lingers in the industry and why it's holding leaders back.Kate walks through the history: the 80s and 90s were all about leverage and power. The 90s brought interest-based bargaining, which used data instead of bravado. More recently, companies are experimenting with collaboration, where both sides actually work together to solve problems and create value.But change doesn't come easy. Short-term wins might seem like progress, but they often backfire. Kate describes this as “shading,” when the other side feels mistreated and resists or retaliates. She uses examples from union negotiations, supplier relationships, and even global trade disputes to show how this cycle keeps repeating.Collaboration offers a different path. Instead of focusing only on price or concessions, it creates agreements that match intent with execution, protect both parties, and provide space for innovation.Kate explains how her Vested framework turns adversarial supplier or union relationships into productive, long-term partnerships built on trust and results. Still, consistency is key: you can't have one division trying to collaborate while another sticks to power plays.Jan ties this back to leadership. Command-and-control might have worked decades ago, but it doesn't inspire people now. Negotiation that depends on control and bravado is outdated in the face of current challenges. Leaders who show up with openness, clarity, and a willingness to co-create solutions will succeed.And the advice for leaders listening? Start small. You don't need to change everything overnight. Pilot a collaborative negotiation on one deal, measure the results, and use that success to expand the approach. Themes discussed in this episode:The shift from power-based negotiation to collaborative partnerships in the automotive industryThe evolution of negotiation models from the 1980s to today's business environmentThe role of trust, transparency, and shared outcomes in strengthening supplier relationshipsWhy authentic leadership aligns with collaboration better than command-and-control managementHow adversarial union negotiations can transform into long-term, cooperative agreementsThe connection between cultural consistency and successful collaborative business modelsWhy outdated power tactics undermine innovation and efficiency in global supply chainsHow the Vested Methodology creates sustainable value for both buyers and suppliersFeatured guest: Kate VisatekWhat she does: Kate is a recognized authority on strategic partnerships and the creator of the Vested® business model, a framework that helps organizations move from “what's in it for me” to “what's in it for we.” An accomplished author of seven books and a faculty member at the University of Tennessee, she combines award-winning research with real-world...

Breathing is more than the diaphragm — fascia, movement, and the whole body collaborate in every breath you take.In this episode of the Myofascial Magic in Action Podcast, Joanne Avison and Paul Thornley explore the deeper story of breathing. Is the diaphragm really the primary muscle of breath, or is it part of a much larger system involving fascia, ribs, viscera, feet, and movement itself?Together we look at:Why breathing is both instinctive and influenced by environmentThe diaphragm as fascia-infused architecture, not just muscleDissection insights that challenge common breathing mythsThe role of the psoas, ribcage, and pericardium in breathHow rotation, walking, and subtle micro-movements influence breathingTrauma, breath holding, and the memory stored in tissueWhy receiving the breath can shift body, mind, and wellbeingBreath shapes more than oxygen exchange — it informs posture, relaxation, performance, and even emotional resilience.

In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Andrea Kihlstedt sits down with Graeme Watt, co-owner of Anthem Creative, to explore how nonprofit leaders can sharpen their storytelling to strengthen donor engagement and drive campaign results.Graeme shares his journey from founding a grassroots youth nonprofit in his living room to leading large-scale digital storytelling efforts with organizations like World Vision. His experience on both sides of the nonprofit spectrum (nimble startup and global giant) gives him a rare lens into what makes storytelling resonate across channels and audiences.The episode introduces the concept of “anthem stories”: compelling narratives that distill the essence of a nonprofit's mission, vision, and values through the lived experience of a single person or community. Graeme breaks down how these stories can move beyond abstract mission statements to become powerful tools for donor acquisition, cultivation, and stewardship.Key Highlights Include:Why the phrase “whoever tells the best story wins” matters more than ever in a competitive fundraising environmentThe difference between mission statements that glaze over eyes and stories that make people lean inHow to identify your organization's anthem stories, and why you should train your entire team to do the sameStrategies for building a story identification system that draws on frontline staff without overwhelming themHow stories can be used face-to-face by gift officers and board members, or repurposed into long-form content for donor eventsWhy the best campaigns don't just raise money for buildings or equipment—they tell deeper stories about impact and transformationWhat AI may mean for nonprofit storytelling, and why human emotion, authenticity, and connection remain irreplaceableGraeme also discusses how capital campaigns present a unique opportunity to wrap bold, inspiring stories around organizational moments. Whether you're raising funds for a new facility, celebrating an anniversary, or preparing for a major initiative, understanding and communicating the "bigger story" behind your campaign can make all the difference.He and Andrea examine practical examples, including how a $600,000 septic system became part of a $2.8 million storytelling-driven campaign, and reflect on the common hesitation nonprofits feel about telling their own stories. They explore why even experienced fundraising professionals can find it challenging to gather and share stories, and how to shift that mindset by embedding storytelling into organizational culture.To wrap up, Graeme offers two key takeaways:Create a story identification strategy that equips your team to recognize and collect meaningful stories.Be bold. Don't settle for safe, forgettable content. Take creative risks that cut through the noise and connect with the right donors.Whether you're deep into a campaign or just starting to explore how storytelling fits into your fundraising strategy, this episode offers thoughtful insight, practical steps, and inspiring encouragement to help you turn your stories into tools for impact.For more about Graeme's work, visit AnthemCreative.ca.To access free resources on capital campaigns, including guides and tools mentioned in the episode, visit capitalcampaignpro.com/resources.
