The Infrastructure and Economic Impact of Data Centers. Guest: Simon Constable. Data centers have become essential infrastructure for AI development, consuming vast amounts of water and electricity. While they provide significant tax revenue for localities, particularly in states like Virginia and Texas, their construction often faces local opposition due to their immense resource requirements and costs. 81881

AI in Education and the Necessity of Liberal Learning. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. The rise of AI in academia tempts students to bypass the essential struggle of thinking, leading to intellectual atrophy.

Don't Get Stranded! Essential Trackside Spares.Welcome back to Everyone Racers.  FUCKING MOPAR 440 EPISODE in which Mental just doesn't sleep, Tim buys more parts cars, Chrissy chicken likes wooden and fresh eggs, and Chris removes a sunroof.  Really, we talk all about spares.  Every racer has a story. A wheel bearing that failed without warning. A fuel pump that quit at the worst possible moment. A brake hose that turned a podium run into a parts-store scavenger hunt. Spare parts can save your weekend, what should you get, where to get them, how to keep them, and when to call it.  What's the one spare part that can save an entire race weekend? We dive deep into one of the least glamorous—but most important—topics in amateur motorsports: the spare parts you should always bring to the track.Using lessons learned from years of endurance racing, LeMons racing, ChampCar, Lucky Dog, SCCA, NASA, grassroots road racing, rally adventures, and countless trackside repairs, we cover the spare parts strategy that keeps race cars on track and out of the paddock.We've lived through all of it, and in this episode we break down exactly what belongs in your trailer, tow vehicle, paddock box, or race car so you can spend more time racing and less time searching for parts.In this episode:

In this episode of In Depth, Brett sits down with Paul Copplestone, co-founder and CEO of Supabase, the open-source Postgres platform now serving more than seven million developers. Before Supabase, Paul launched a Thumbtack-style marketplace in Southeast Asia and co-founded an office-management startup called Nimbus, experiences that taught him to separate fundraising from building and to find product-market fit before blitzscaling. He breaks down how a single tagline change for Supabase unlocked product-market fit, why he runs a fully distributed async team with near-zero attrition, and how he turned PLG signals into a product-led sales motion comped only on incremental uplift. In today's episode, we discuss: How changing one tagline helped Supabase go to #1 in Hacker News - an early sign of product market fit Why Paul ran Supabase like it had only $100K in the bank despite raising real money How Supabase rode three distinct AI waves, from pgvector to Bolt and Lovable, to Claude Code Why Supabase built a sales team comped only on the incremental uplift over a control group What the Toyota production system's "kaizen" taught Paul about unblocking a scaling team References: Ant Wilson: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ant-wilson-46179937 Bolt: https://bolt.new/ Claude Code: https://www.anthropic.com/claude-code Codex: https://openai.com/codex/ Entrepreneurs First: https://www.joinef.com/ Firebase: https://firebase.google.com/ Lovable: https://lovable.dev/ MongoDB: https://www.mongodb.com/ Next.js: https://nextjs.org/ PostgreSQL: https://www.postgresql.org/ Supabase: https://supabase.com/ Thumbtack: https://www.thumbtack.com/ Y Combinator: https://www.ycombinator.com/ Where to find Paul: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulcopplestone Twitter/X: https://x.com/kiwicopple Where to find Brett: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-berson-9986094/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/brettberson Where to find First Round Capital: Website: https://firstround.com/ First Round Review: https://review.firstround.com/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/firstround YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FirstRoundCapital This podcast on all platforms: https://review.firstround.com/podcast Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 01:32 Why Paul's earlier startups were never destined to be huge 07:14 Unlearning the "tall poppy" mindset and going all-in on async 09:54 Reverse-engineering why Supabase was an outstanding idea 12:04 The accidental Hacker News launch and tagline lesson 13:58 Where the early roadmap came from: demand vs. technical taste 17:28 Skill vs. luck, and operating like you have $100K in the bank 21:42 What actually makes a great developer experience 23:10 Solving the "graduation problem" Firebase never could 24:58 The role of open source in Supabase's success 26:10 The three distinct AI tailwinds: From pgvector to Claude Code 35:24 Supabase's egoless, hyper-competitive open-source culture 42:58 A tactical playbook for raising capital 48:37 Product-led sales comped on incremental uplift only 59:27 The production philosophy behind Supabase's operations

I've had this PDF sitting in my resource library since 2021, and when I went back to read it for this episode, it made me smile, because every single thing in it still holds up. Fundamentals are fundamentals for a reason. In this episode, I'm walking you through the core sales principles from my Essential Lessons PDF, and breaking down why most travel advisors are still getting these wrong today. We're covering: Inquiry vs. comment: why you keep getting "ghosted" (hint: it wasn't a real lead) Why forms are quietly killing your conversions Why consultations are your single biggest sales superpower How to handle objections without freezing up Money mindset and why your client's budget is none of your business These aren't trends. They're fundamentals. And they work.

Recently I was invited to give a poetry workshop on a reflection day at a local school. They wanted the writing element of the day to help students understand themselves better, so I chose to provide a workshop based on George Ella Lyon's poem, "Where I'm From." You know I love that workshop. Together, we looked at how details bring poetry to life, brainstormed images about their childhood experiences, explored how various creators have interpreted the "I am From" prompt to create videos, paintings, photo essays, poems, and combinations thereof. Then I invited them to work multimodaly as they knit together their images with color and imagery.  But I had never worked with them before, and none of them had heard of multimodal communication, though they're surrounded with it everyday. I realized I had left out a crucial step in the workshop, to help them see that multimodal communication would go well beyond "decorating" their poem or underlining all the lines in color. So how can we introduce this concept to students? How can we help them see that text, images, audio, and video can all convey such very different shades of meaning in communication? This week on the pod, let's talk about introducing multimodality, and showing kids what works and what doesn't.

In this crowning summer episode every listener needs to lean in for, Christa unpacks the two paths back to each other: connection, the path of being deeply known, grounded in John Gottman's research on love maps and turning toward bids, and joy, the path of shared aliveness, grounded in Arthur Aron's self-expansion studies on novelty and lasting passion. You will learn why you and your spouse may reach in different directions, why that mismatch causes so much hurt, and why the thriving couples learn to walk through both doors. Christa closes with a simple reflection to help you name which path your marriage is hungry for this season you don't want to miss. Plus, the Awakening Intimacy course is open and on sale right now with two tracks built around exactly this. Watch on YouTube!

Every generation in history has experienced stereotypes in the workplace. The best leaders and teams are intentional about how they are engaging with Gen Z in growing their organizational culture.  For Full Show Notes Visit https://www.jasonvbarger.com/podcast/engage-gen-z-culturally/ Jason explores how the best leaders, teams, and organizations are engaging with Gen Z culturally to be better and strengthen their organizations for the future . Please rate and review the podcast to help amplify these messages to others! Summary: With Gen Z recently passing baby boomers to comprise nearly 25% of the workforce—and scaling toward 30% by 2030—multigenerational alignment has become a defining mission for modern businesses . In this episode of The Thermostat, Jason V Barger targets the cultural disconnects that frequently emerge between legacy management tiers and the incoming generation . He outlines why relying on lazy generational typecasting or stereotypes ultimately stalls progression, challenging executives to replace institutional judgment with strategic curiosity . This conversation moves beyond standard leadership platitudes to provide real-world context for Gen Z's unique workplace expectations . Jason analyzes how digital nativity, pandemic-stunted development, and an era of acute social division have combined to shape this demographic's baseline perspective . Rather than navigating these shifts with rigid, top-down enforcement, Jason breaks down the core organizational values Gen Z actively targets: deep structural meaning, flexible workplace wellness, radical pay transparency, and collaborative mentorship . Essential listening for C-Suite executives, HR directors, and team leaders focused on cultivating high-performance environments, this episode offers a practical blueprint for turning a shifting generational demographic into a massive cultural competitive advantage . Episode Notes & Timestamps: Intro: Jason introduces the importance of engaging Gen Z culturally to future-proof organizational frameworks . Stepping Back to Move Forward: A look into 335+ past catalog episodes focused on aligning communication, trust, and leadership mindsets . The Workforce Shift: Examining the demographic transition as Gen Z (born 1997–2012) expands to 25% of the active workforce on its way to 30% by 2030 . Deconstructing Stereotypes: Naming the standard corporate labels—including laziness, quiet quitting, and entitlement—and why perpetuating them isolates talent . Context Over Criticism: Analyzing the generational ecosystem, from true digital nativity and instant-delivery normalcies to pandemic-disrupted skill building . Embracing Skepticism: How growing up amidst mass violence and political volatility has trained Gen Z to question corporate insincerity and demand proof of alignment . Pillar 1 - Meaning & Purpose: Why Gen Z values corporate mission heavily, often choosing a more purposeful culture over higher compensation . Pillar 2 - Holistic Wellness: A discussion on mental health awareness, flexible scheduling, and why high-performing environments must prioritize work-life integration . Pillar 3 - Radical Authenticity: Demanding pay transparency, shared operational goals, and leaders who can be trusted on an everyday basis . Pillar 4 - Mentorship vs. Micromanagement: How to satisfy Gen Z's thirst for developmental coaching without relying on autocratic power and control . Culture Stewardship: Reaffirming that culture is not an administrative add-on, but a non-negotiable strategy that fuels downstream execution . Diagnostic Closing Prompts: Jason shares strategic questions to ponder regarding how to bring curiosity instead of judgment to multigenerational team building . Key Takeaways for Leaders: Mentorship over Management: Swap top-down autocratic commands for proactive, side-by-side coaching to fulfill Gen Z's distinct demand for active skill-building . Purpose-Driven Strategy: Elevate your cultural retention by explicitly connecting daily workflows to a transparent corporate mission that holds real societal meaning . Intergenerational Curiosity: Maximize your team dynamics by training legacy leadership to approach generational differences with structural context rather than sweeping typecasts . Listen to the full episode and access show notes at: https://jasonvbarger.com/podcast/engaging-gen-z-culturally/ Bio: Jason Barger is a husband, father, speaker, and author who is passionate about business leadership and corporate culture . He believes that corporate culture is the "thermostat" of an organization, and that it can be used to drive performance, innovation, and engagement .

HELLMARE (2026)Director: Victor GabrielCast: Boyd Coffman, Lloyd Kaufman, and the rest of the crew who clearly had a blast making this thingIndie horror isn't dead — it got sucked into a VHS tape and came out swinging. This week we're covering Hellmare, the brand new 2026 horror-comedy from director Victor Gabriel and RFN Pictures, literally 48 hours after its premiere. Fresh takes, zero polish, maximum passion.We go deep on what makes this no-budget gem punch way above its weight class, why practical effects will always win, and why you should be following RFN Pictures right now before everyone else figures it out.In this episode, we discuss:Sucked Into the Tape — The core premise of Hellmare is genuinely original: a group of friends watching a cursed urban-legend VHS get pulled into the movie itself, forced to survive alongside characters from the trailers on the tape. It's Robert Rodriguez fake-trailer energy meets actual horror, and it works.Indie Horror Is Alive and It's Where It's At — We break down why Hellmare succeeds where so many no-budget films fail: tight storytelling, a clear narrative, practical effects that are genuinely gnarly, and a cast with real chemistry that feels like actual friends giving each other shit in a crisis. Because they are.The Tonal Tightrope — We don't just fanboy out — we get into the real critiques. The cartoon sound effects layered over otherwise serious horror moments, a scene in the barn where everyone stares at nothing, and some over-modulated audio that had us straining to hear a key line. Victor's getting better every film. These are the last kinks to iron out.Supporting the Scene — A genuine conversation about why it matters to show up for indie filmmakers. If you're tired of Marvel slop and Star Wars noise, you have to actually support the people swinging for something new. Follow RFN Pictures. Watch this movie when it drops on streaming.We Also Talked About:Marty: Life is Short (Netflix) — Martin Short documentary. Turns out the guy had an inexplicably happy childhood and is just... genuinely nice? Deeply suspicious. Worth watching.Lorne (2026) (Peacock) — New documentary on Lorne Michaels covering his full career, narrated by Chris Parnell. More access than you'd expect from the most private man in television.The Band That Wouldn't Die (ESPN 30 for 30) (Disney+/Hulu) — The Baltimore Colts marching band refuses to die after the team gets snuck out of the city in the middle of the night. The band is kind of the MacGuffin. The real story is a city getting its soul stolen.Without Bias (ESPN 30 for 30) (Disney+/Hulu) — Len Bias. Drafted by the Celtics. Dead 24 hours later. A documentary that goes way beyond basketball into the war on drugs and the paranoia that followed.Lone Wolf McQuade (1983) (Tubi)— Chuck Norris in kicking jeans vs. David Carradine in a sweater. Someone kills a dog. It escalates. Unnecessary explosions ensue. Classic.High Stakes (1986) (Fawesome) — Pre-Kids in the Hall Dave Foley discovers Nazi treasure. It's slow. Keanu Reeves almost got the part. Make of that what you will.Day of the Reaper (1984) (Tubi) — Shot-on-shittio cannibal slasher set in Florida. The hand moves in a dry bathtub. Forty people may or may not have gone missing since Friday.

Could GLP-1 weight loss be costing you muscle instead of just fat? GLP-1 medications can be powerful tools, but they are not a free pass to simply eat less and hope for the best. In this episode, I'm showing you why protein, resistance training, recovery, and targeted muscle support are essential if you want to lose fat while protecting your metabolism. My goal is to help you use these tools the right way, so the weight you lose is actually the weight you want to lose. What you'll learn: (00:00) Weight loss on GLP-1 medications can inadvertently destroy your metabolism if you fail to take a muscle-first approach. (00:47) Women over forty frequently lose critical lean tissue underneath the surface without realizing why their weight loss attempts backfire. (02:45) Severe caloric deficits drop your automatic protein intake, making it essential to deliberately plan your target goals rather than relying on suppressed hunger cues. (03:38) Randomized controlled trials confirm that higher dietary protein actively preserves and can even build lean mass during significant energy restriction. (04:27) Meta-analyses evaluating thousands of adults reveal that a striking 25% to 40% of the weight shed from GLP-1 medications comes from lean mass instead of body fat. (05:17) Protecting your fat-burning engine requires aiming for a daily target of 0.7 to 1 gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight. (05:58) Essential amino acids rich in leucine act as a vital booster to trigger muscle protein synthesis when low appetite makes whole foods difficult to consume. (10:51) Preserving long-term metabolic health demands three distinct lifestyle practices: making protein non-negotiable, practicing consistent resistance training, and optimizing deep sleep recovery.

The argument is not that every beat causes trance, or that neuroscience has proven spirits. The stronger argument is that rhythm enters the human organism through hearing, motor prediction, breath, movement, attention, emotion, expectation, culture, and social synchrony. The drum becomes powerful when sound, body, group, ritual frame, and meaning converge. These sources support the archaeology, neuroscience, EEG research, shamanic studies, possession studies, Indigenous and culturally specific drum traditions, ritual theory, placebo and meaning-response research, ceremonial magic, and modern witchcraft material used in the episode.Core Academic and Scientific SourcesHuels, Emma R., Hyoungkyu Kim, UnCheol Lee, Tirsa Bel-Bahar, Ana V.

This time on Code WACK!   Imagine being cut off from Mom - a nursing home resident - for months. You can't bring her favorite foods, or help dress her, hug her, or even hold her hand. For thousands of families during the COVID-19 pandemic, this became a heartbreaking reality. And without new laws, advocates say, it could very well happen again. That's why they are fighting to ensure our loved ones are never again separated from those they depend on most in nursing homes and other long-term care settings Today we're speaking with Tony Chicotel, senior staff attorney with California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform, or CANHR. For decades, Tony has fought to protect the rights of nursing home residents. And he says the isolation and neglect that families experienced during COVID was one of the most painful chapters of his career.

Essential listening for anyone who can feel the pull toward something truer but hasn't yet been willing to look at what staying is actually costing them. We spend so much energy thinking about what we stand to lose by changing. The risk. The unknown. The people who might not come with us. But here's what we almost never ask: what is it costing you to stay? Not in some abstract, future-tense way. Right now. Today. This week. In this solo episode, Meghan gets honest about something most of us quietly sense but rarely say out loud: staying stuck is not a neutral choice. It has a price. And that price is paid in your time, your energy, your health, your creativity, your joy, and something even harder to name than all of those things. She walks through the real cost of a half-lived life, why the cost of leaving often feels enormous while the cost of staying goes almost completely unexamined, and what it actually means for the people around you when you keep yourself small. This one is a gentle shakeup. A mirror. An invitation to stop pretending the discomfort of staying is somehow safer than the discomfort of growing.

Sometimes we get so wrapped up in praying for the needs of others, we forget to pray for ourselves! You'll learn how minimise the daily distractions of life and “abide in Christ,” so your prayers can be more effective!

Welcome to another insightful episode of Build a Better Agency! This week, host Drew McLellan is joined by seasoned project management expert Danielle McCier to shine a spotlight on one of the most critical—and sometimes underestimated—roles in any agency: project management. Together, they unpack how powerful project management isn't just about checking boxes, but about leading with clarity, protecting your agency's profit, and creating alignment across chaotic workflows. Danielle McCier shares her unique journey from the music industry to advertising operations, offering firsthand wisdom on how project management elevates agencies beyond glorified administration. She describes the evolution of her own role, distinguishing the difference between being a task-oriented admin and a proactive leader who wrangles multiple teams, deliverables, and shifting client requests. Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of why clear communication, defined asks, and structured processes form the backbone of any successful project—and, by extension, the agency itself. This episode delves into actionable strategies for building trust internally, facilitating tough conversations, and managing expectations across creatives, account teams, and clients. Danielle McCier and Drew McLellan also discuss common pitfalls like assumption-driven burnout, the importance of sources of truth in organizing project details, and how systems don't stifle creativity—they enable it. If you've ever wondered when it's time to add a project manager to your team, how to hire for the right blend of hard and soft skills, or how to truly empower your agency's engine room, this episode is packed with hard-won advice. Get ready to walk away with a renewed appreciation for project management as the unsung hero of agency growth, culture, and sustainability.

Send us Fan MailIn this part 1 examination of documents from the New Left period, encompassing the Civil Rights movement as well as several other struggles, I highlight some of the most important insights from speeches and writings particularly from the era of 1957-1967. If you like this part 1 series, I encourage my audience to also watch the part 2 examination of New Left documents highlighting critical ideas from 1968-1973 as well as my video introducing the broader historical context of the New Left period.This was the height of organized union labor power in American history when people were questioning the tenets of capitalism, Americanism, education/pedagogy, costly/unwarranted wars and division, and what rights and duties citizens should uphold in creating a new world either through reform or revolution.

Send us Fan MailThis video/podcast is my conclusion of the analysis and examination of the 45 documents from the New Left period particularly focusing on writings and speeches from 1968-1973 the highest point of not just serious thought, but also organized labor power, student movements, a rise in black electoralism, and the anti-war movement. Focusing on the major insights in these books, I also bring to the surface the major questions concerning not just the rights, privileges, and opportunities afforded people which can only be achieved through a struggle (a spirit of that generation which we need to recapture), but also an exaltation of the question of belonging, inclusivity, and acceptance of woman in social life especially a renewed academic focus on poor black woman and what such a consideration would mean for society as a whole both practically and theoretically.            Even with platforms, programs, and public policy proposals, the New Left generation teaches us three things fundamentally which can be extrapolated into many lessons: We must make clear our grievances which lead to demands, a timeline, and a consequence; we must constantly learn through the struggle in order to reevaluate our methodology in education, agitation, and organization; we must try to make visible our needs and desires whether it is electoral reform or applying public pressure to cause legislative changes. For this last point, during the New Left Movements, 1950-1975 the slogan “the whole world was watching” was true for the first time in history. Only under such circumstances can real nonviolent active Civil Disobedience or other forms of strikes and protest can be viable or successful.

Washington is engaging plenty with its Indo-Pacific allies these days … just not always on the things they want, and too often on things they don't. So how do savvy allies steer that relationship when the world's most powerful partner feels less predictable than ever?To find out, Ray Powell and Jim Carouso sit down with Marise Payne, Australia's former Defence Minister and Foreign Minister. Marise helped launch AUKUS and grow the Quad, and navigated the first Trump administration from both chairs. Now a distinguished visiting fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution, Payne brings rare insider perspective on how middle powers keep America engaged and what they must build for themselves when it drifts.In a wide-ranging conversation, Payne unpacks:Why "fewer Shangri-Las, more submarines" sets up a false choice, and why showing up still mattersThe AUKUS reality check: what the shift from the "optimal pathway" means, and the social license challenge facing CanberraWhether Pillar One is now on a "suboptimal pathway," and the case for driving Pillar Two harderHow the Quad found its feet again after COVID, and why the New Delhi foreign ministers' meeting mattersReassuring a skeptical ASEAN on nuclear submarines, and the relationship-first diplomacy that made it workChina's "do as I say, not as I do" stance on Japan's remilitarizationThe contrast between leading Defence and Foreign Affairs: "straight lines" versus "grasping at wisps of smoke"It's a practitioner's masterclass in alliance management for an era of strategic uncertainty.

One thing far too many parents have in common is that they are always putting off taking care of themselves. This may come from a good place, but the results are good for no one.

Over the course sixteen months, 39-year-old Stephen Port killed four gay men in his East London home... and DESPITE BEING A TOTAL IDIOT... completely got away with it. All four men looked nearly identical and seem to have died exactly the same way, AND TWO OF THE BODIES WERE FOUND IN EXACTLY THE SAME SPOT. Yet the cops saw no connection between the cases. Meanwhile, PORT WAS BASICALLY GIVING HIMSELF UP AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY. And still, the cops insisted these men died of self induced drug overdoses. BECAUSE GAY.
