Amidst speculation that Artificial Intelligence-powered software could take business from human advisors, some of the most meaningful work advisors do involves something software can't replicate: deep human-to-human connection. This episode explores how life planning, active listening, and values-based discovery can help clients articulate what truly matters and achieve a sense of freedom that goes beyond financial outcomes. George Kinder is the founder of the Kinder Institute of Life Planning, which trains financial advisors globally in fiduciary, client-centered planning. Listen in as George explains why life planning is fundamentally social, and why even the most advanced AI tools can't replace the empathy, presence, and silence required to understand a client's inner motivations. You'll learn how his EVOKE framework guides advisors through exploratory conversations, how the famous "three questions" help clients clarify what an ideal life looks like under different time horizons, and how confronting an illness himself led him to revisit his personal answers—and reshape his legacy with intention.

Key Themes 1. The Shift: Entertainment vs. Encounter The Problem with Modern Church Production Social media created a "copycat phase" where churches could suddenly see what megachurches were doing Churches adopted same equipment, same songs, same production values What was unique became ubiquitous - "we all became copies of each other" Gen Z is "the most marketed to generation in human history" and numb to production Quote: "Gen Z is the most marketed to generation in human history. And we're all kind of numb to the production. I don't think people are looking for hype. They're looking for hope." What People Actually Want Something real and tangible An experience of God, not just information about God Presence, not just presentation Transformation over information The Internet's Limitation Really good at delivering information (especially with AI) Cannot facilitate an encounter "There's something that happens in the room that doesn't happen online" 2. What "Encounter Over Entertainment" Looks Like The Tonal Shift Worship leaders being more sensitive to what's happening in the room, not just rehearsed transitions Preachers leaving space, not just hitting time marks Paying attention to what God might be doing (people crying, leaning in, visible reactions) Creating space to breathe Silence and Space "When I started in ministry, my goal was to get rid of as much silence in church as I could" Now: "Where else are you going to get silence? You don't get it unless you're in church" Don't have to fill every moment with words Can be silent or "noodle" on instruments while creating space Quote: "People's lives are so noisy and so crowded. I mean, we don't even sleep without white noise machines or anything like that. So where else are you going to get silence?" Evoke vs. Manipulate Can't plan a revival - it happens or it doesn't Job is to "set the table" and make space for the Holy Spirit Example: Great movies evoke genuine tears by accessing real emotions Cheap manipulation feels different Quote: "It's not our job as Christians to manipulate. It's our job possibly to evoke, to say, 'I'm going to set the table. I can't control the Holy Spirit.'" 3. The Liturgy Issue Modern Church is "Liturgically Malnourished" Liturgy = order of service (not an outdated term) Modern church handles joy and praise well Missing: contemplation, confession, lamentation, reflection Lost practices: prayers of confession, prayers of the people Carey's Confession Presbyterian background included prayers of approach and confession As church became attractional, prayer became "just an opportunity to clear the set for the sermon" Regrets thin prayers: "God, it's so good to be here today. We thank you so much. Amen." Quote: "It's like confess your sins to one another and you will be healed. We don't do that anymore. What if we did that?" Not Either/Or, But Both/And Keep good lighting, sound, production, and musicians who can play Add breathing room, texture, color, tone, mood Use liturgical calendar and historic practices adapted to modern context Don't approach Sunday as "slots to fill" Creative Freedom 52 Sundays = 52 blank canvases Already do this well at Easter and Christmas Can be more creative without confusing people Example: Good Friday Service Ended in darkness with no announcement Faded to black and stayed there People sat in uncomfortable silence, then slowly left "I wanted them to feel that discomfort... if you can even get a small sampling of that" Easter Sunday picked up in darkness, then sunrise/resurrection 4. Live Streaming Strategy Who Should Live Stream? Not every church needs to live stream everything Need good musicians to sound great online (around 400-500 attendance to have talent base) Need separate mix for online vs. in-house Poor production = "school play" - only interesting to those directly involved Quote: "A lot of churches, and these are well-meaning, beautiful Christian people. If you don't have the talent in production or in worship, you sound like a school play." Alternatives Stream just the message On-demand after, mixed in post-production Audio only if video isn't good Consider what strangers stumbling on feed would think The Discovery Argument Pre-COVID minority of churches streamed Now "everybody you want to reach is online" "All of non-Christian America, all the nuns, all the duns, all the atheists, all the agnostics, they're on the internet" Can't remember last time truly unchurched person hadn't watched online for weeks/months before visiting The New Foyer Online is now the foyer, not the physical lobby People investigate online before visiting By the time they show up, they're ready to go "further, faster" "They've already done their investigating. They've already asked ChatGPT all the questions" 5. Practical Service Design Handling Growth Pressure Multiple services create pressure to program everything tightly Solution: Trim 5 minutes from sermon Do 60-minute service with breathing room between Create more lobby/connection space Leverage outdoor space (if climate allows) Worship Set Strategy Don't need extended mix of everything Maybe two songs and a tag instead of three full songs "Sit in the tag for a while" Find the high-impact moments (example: bridge of "How Great Is Our God") Get to what matters, like talent shows do 90-second versions Quote: "You don't have to do the extended mix of everything, the seven minute version, do the tag. That would be great. Space is something that you can do in three minutes if you know how to do it well." Service Flow Examples Don't make people stand and greet (where else does that happen?) Have emotionally intelligent people on doors, not just available people Greet people the way THEY want to be greeted Consider kids moments, announcements, communion as natural transitions Call to commitment/involvement comes sooner now than 10 years ago 6. Online Presence Best Practices Website Design Design for new people first Show service times and location prominently (mobile friendly) Staff page is #3 most viewed - people want to see "are there people like me?" Use accurate photos (don't show 27-year-olds if congregation is 70+) Show actual diversity if you have it Quote (Seth Godin): "Culture is people like us do things like this. So what people are looking for, are there people like us?" Content Strategy Lead with best sermons, not just latest Most popular videos should be easy to find People don't care if it's from 2 years ago (still watching The Office) Have robust FAQ section for unchurched questions Position yourself for lost people, not just members 7. The Current Moment The Harvest is Ripe People are seeking more than maybe in past decade or two Culture is saturated with production - not the competitive edge anymore Mental health crisis caused by social media People desperate for something real What to Do Pray for it (spiritual activity) Make newcomer journey easy Take them somewhere when they show up Go deeper faster - they're ready Quote: "People come to church looking to find God, but sometimes all they find is us. They found a really cool song, they found a really great message, but they didn't actually find God in the midst of it." Give Them Meat Reference to Tara-Lee Cobble and The Bible Recap Provide historical context (helps Christians AND non-Christians) Don't be afraid to go deep on sin, gospel, redemption Write/speak in accessible "street Greek" like the New Testament Example Opening: "Hey, we're going back 3000 years. And there was a guy named David who was King of Israel. He was trying to keep the kingdom united because there was a north and a south. You can relate to that. These are divided times..." Quote (Tim Keller): "It's worse than you can possibly imagine and better than you can possibly dream." 8. Leadership Advice For Young Church Staff (25-40) Navigating Frustration with Leadership Write down actual issues you're facing (budget, staffing, expertise) Present respectfully, thoughtfully, submissively Good leaders will either provide resources or adjust priorities Identifying Toxic Culture Unrealistic expectations Unsympathetic to staff needs Expects 60-hour weeks with no life Toxic leader will get mad/defensive when approached Options in Toxic Environment Respectfully approach and share difficulties Accept the glass ceiling and stay Build healthy team within unhealthy body (temporary solution) Leave - "unhealthy bodies drive out healthy cells" Interview Questions for New Positions Ask to talk to current staff (not the pastor) Ask to talk to FORMER staff Find out who left and why Read Google reviews Have meals/experiences together (reveals character under pressure) Quote: "Ask around, ask if you have permission. Don't ask the pastor. Don't ask the pastor. Are you healthy? The toxic people, 'I'm so healthy.'" 9. Team Building & Growth Hiring Philosophy Only hire A players C players: you know immediately (late, unmotivated, incomplete work) - should be gone B players: good but not great - "it's too bad but we'll survive" A players: if they quit you'd need 3 people to replace them Quote (Netflix): "Adequate performance gets you a generous severance package." A Player Test If they knocked on the door saying "this is my last day," how do you react? C player: "Thank goodness, now I don't have to fire them" B player: "Too bad but we'll survive" A player: "Grabbing the waste basket and throwing up" Growth Wisdom Don't settle on staff because you're panicking Will eventually become bloated with no profit Profit = "permission to do this again tomorrow" (Seth Godin) Most businesses fail not from lack of vision but lack of cash Use tools like Working Genius to find right fit Don't just find A players - find A players with gifts your team needs Cultural Values Write them down and review regularly Ritz-Carlton: 26 values, reviewed 2-3 daily in team meetings Use to evaluate: "Where are we winning/losing with our values?" Catch team members exemplifying values Values help instill culture as org chart grows 10. Upcoming Projects Carey's New Book Topic: AI and the Future Church Thesis: "As the world becomes more artificial, we need to become more human as Christians" Church's future direction is human connection Expected publication: 2026 Latest Book "At Your Best" - about time, energy, and priorities Notable Statistics & Data Points 72% of teenagers have tried AI chatbots 31% prefer AI companionship to human companions Pre-COVID: minority of churches streamed services Can't recall single unchurched person who didn't watch online for weeks/months before visiting Around 400-500 attendance: churches start having talent base for good production 80-95% of church growth in America is conversion growth (not transfer) Top 3 website pages: Homepage, Messages, Staff/About Production Quality Basics Good Enough to Stream Great singing (doesn't need to be phenomenal) Decent lights Pretty good mix Can work with church of 150-200 with good coaching Everything else can be helped with technology Bare Minimum Great guitarist + great vocalist = "off to the races" Don't feel pressure to have full mediocre band Add musicians as you find/afford great ones Practical Takeaways Create space in services - silence, breathing room, sensitivity to the room Recover lost liturgical practices - confession, lamentation, contemplation Go deeper faster - people are ready for meat, not just milk Design for online discovery - unchurched people are investigating you Lead with best content - not just latest content Only hire A players - don't panic hire when growing Build real human connection - counter to increasingly artificial world Make newcomer journey easy - they're ready to engage quickly Be creative with 52 Sundays - not just slots to fill Focus on encounter over entertainment - production supports experience, doesn't replace it Questions for Further Reflection How can we create more space for confession in our services? What would it look like to "evoke" rather than "manipulate" in worship? Are we positioning our online presence for unchurched discovery? Is our production supporting encounter or replacing it? What emotions are people carrying into our services, and how do we acknowledge that? Are we moving too fast for the Holy Spirit to work? Memorable Quotes "I don't think people are looking for hype. They're looking for hope." "People aren't looking for more information. They're looking for presence, not just presentation." "The internet is really good at information, especially with AI. You want to know anything, you can find out anything, but the internet can't really facilitate an encounter." "It's not our job as Christians to manipulate. It's our job possibly to evoke." "Where else are you going to get silence? You don't get it unless you're in church." "If you don't have the talent in production or in worship, you sound like a school play." "Everybody you want to reach is online." "Your foyer has moved online." "People come to church looking to find God, but sometimes all they find is us." "As the world becomes more artificial, we need to become more human as Christians." "Adequate performance gets you a generous severance package." "Profit is permission to do this again tomorrow."

In the latest episode of iGaming Daily, host Fernando Noodt is joined by Charlie Horner and Joe Streeter, to analyse William Hill's monumental decision to exit markets including Nigeria, Vietnam, and Bolivia, a move described as "cold hard business". Parent company Evoke is scaling down the UK's oldest gambling brand, choosing to focus Hills on its domestic presence. The trio discuss the reasons behind this shift, including navigating regulatory turbulence and political volatility in global markets, and how Evoke plans to leverage William Hill's strong UK retail portfolio (over 1,300 locations) while relying on the 888 and Mr. Green brands for international online expansion. Additionallly, the three explore whether prioritising the brick-and-mortar segment over international online growth marks a new chapter for the brand.To read more about what was discussed on today's episode, click on the following links:- https://sbcnews.co.uk/europe/2025/11/21/william-hill-13-exit/- https://igamingexpert.com/regions/asia/william-hill-africa-asia-exits/Host: Fernando NoodtGuests: Charlie Horner & Joe StreeterProducer: James RossEditor: James RossiGaming Daily is also now on TikTok.

Life Planning, Retirement, and Why It Is “Never About the Money” In this episode, Dave flips the script and interviews Nick about how life planning has become a core part of the SRB client process. Nick shares how training with George Kinder and the EVOKE model shaped the way SRB helps clients think through retirement, not just from a numbers standpoint, but from the perspective of values, priorities, and real life goals. They walk through how the EVOKE structure fits into SRB's retirement planning work, what actually happens in those conversations, and the kinds of insights clients discover when they finally slow down and think about what they want the next phase of life to look like. Nick also explains why most client “dreams” are less about big, flashy goals and more about time, family, and reducing worry. You will hear: How SRB discovered life planning through George Kinder's work A plain language overview of the EVOKE process and how SRB uses it with new retirement clients Why the first three stages focus on widening the conversation beyond money Real outcomes from clients who learned they were either not ready to retire or more than ready Why many clients already have “enough” and what to do with that knowledge How life planning shifts decisions about Roth conversions, gifting to kids, and travel The link between clear life goals and better follow through on investment and tax strategies How life planning helps advisors avoid assumptions about what clients value Why the plan on paper will always change, and why that is expected Nick's experience being life planned himself, and why he keeps going back to the process How SRB is expanding life planning capacity by training Cole as a Registered Life Planner If you are approaching retirement, feel like you might have “enough” but are not sure what comes next, or want your financial plan to reflect your real life priorities, this conversation will give you a feel for how life planning works at SRB and why it might be the missing piece in your retirement planning. Ready to talk about your own life plan?Start with a relaxed fit meeting to see if SRB is a good match for your needs.

I met Danielle through LA Unbound, and I was in awe of her dancing and dance teaching abilities! She didn't choreograph for that season's show, but she is for this upcoming one in November, and we are all so excited! Danielle loves dancing and has many years of performing experience, ever since middle school when she started competing on her school's dance team. She studied dance in college and then became part of a dance company called Evoke, where they put on annual shows, and she was often in multiple contemporary pieces as well as hip hop! For most of Danielle's adult life, she did dance around her elementary school teaching career. But she recently resigned from it and spends much of her time focusing on dance class, LA Unbound, and other dance performances. She is currently in a season of exploration to figure out what's next for her in life, and we are loving that she has more time to dance and hang out! Danielle is one of the kindest people and also just so much fun to be around, and we can't wait to see where life takes her. Follow our dance journeys on Instagram: @daniella_wella@DanceJourneyPodcast@TracyinLA

In the third edition of a special podcast series, CancerNetwork® spoke with Daniel Morgensztern, MD; Mary Ellen Flanagan, NP; and Janelle Mann, PharmD, BCOP, about optimal strategies for incorporating different therapeutic agents into lung cancer care. As part of the latest discussion, the group highlighted the relevant efficacy data, administration protocols, and toxicity management considerations associated with TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Morgensztern is a professor of Medicine and the clinical director of Thoracic Oncology in the Division of Oncology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Flanagan is a nurse practitioner in the Division of Thoracic Oncology at Washington University. Mann is a clinical oncology pharmacist at Siteman Cancer Center of Washington University School of Medicine and manager of Clinical Pharmacy Services at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Morgensztern opened the discussion by highlighting the characteristics of prominent TROP2-targeting ADCs in NSCLC management, which included sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (Trodelvy), datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk (Datroway), and sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT). Additionally, he reviewed data from clinical trials assessing these ADCs across different NSCLC populations, including the phase 3 EVOKE-01 trial (NCT05089734) showing a numerical overall survival (OS) improvement with sacituzumab govitecan vs docetaxel. Regarding the safety profiles of these ADCs, Flanagan described the unique toxicities associated with the agents' payloads as well as potential off-target effects. On top of myelosuppression, fatigue, and diarrhea, she stated that these therapies may cause more visceral organ toxicities like keratitis of the eye and interstitial lung disease. According to Flanagan, some prophylactic measures in the event of certain toxicities include frequent salt and baking soda mouth rinses as well as oral dexamethasone.  Mann then outlined the dosing variability considerations and supportive care measures surrounding the use of agents like sacituzumab govitecan. She emphasized continuously re-educating patients about expected toxicities and supportive care strategies as they undergo these infusion-based therapies to help avoid surprise instances of ocular toxicity, diarrhea, and other adverse effects.

Vad skulle hända om vi tog vara på skogens alla resurser i framtiden? Detta har Emelie Ekblad på transformationsbyrån MAD utforskat tillsammans med Vinnova och en diger referensgrupp av olika kompetenser. Resultatet är bland annat en utställning vid namn Explore, Evoke, Evolve som visar glimtar av framtider där Sverige tar täten som världens första biointelligenta nation. Utställningen bevittnades hos White Arkitekter men ska förhoppningsvis bli ambulerande framöver. Just det - när vi pratar om boktips nämns boken Imaginable i avsnittet. Och författaren heter förstås Jane McGonigal, ingenting annat. // Avsnittet sponsras av GS1 Sweden, som arbetar med globala standarder som möjliggör strukturerad informationsdelning, ökad transparens och spårbarhet i värdekedjor.

Sam Bendix, Partner at Chicago Pacific Founders, returns to share his framework for capital raising using motivational interviewing. He explains how it uncovers real motivations and qualifies prospects faster—without a hard sell. We cover how it applies to investor meetings, deal sourcing, hiring, and beyond. A practical framework for better conversations and better results. [00:00] Sam Bendix, Partner at Chicago Pacific Founders, shares his capital-raising framework using motivational interviewing. [00:28] Alex praises its use in candidate interviews, prospecting, and deal origination. [00:58] Framework inspired by Sam's wife, a dietitian, helping patients change behavior. [01:53] Sam realized it draws out investor motivations instead of pushing a pitch. [02:51] Ideal for hesitant prospects or those juggling priorities. [04:13] Helps quickly qualify whether someone's worth pursuing. [05:37] Sam uses it on intro calls with LPs at the contemplation stage. [06:33] It's flexible — works even outside of work. [08:30] Four stages: Engage, Focus, Evoke, Plan. [10:15] Key question: "What led you to take this meeting?" [12:09] Use “change talk” to uncover real motivations. [13:59] Always leave with clear next steps. [15:50] Similar to AIDA — build rapport, qualify, find the why, plan action. [17:15] Real-life case study: reframed a real estate pitch to win infrastructure LP interest. [22:28] Even a "no" reveals future opportunities. [25:22] ORS method (Open questions, Reflective listening, Summarizing) is critical. [27:17] Reflect objections back to build clarity and trust.  [28:13] Alex draws parallels with talent assessment — most firms hire for now, not the full journey. [30:40] Exceptional execs have frameworks. If they can't articulate their playbook, you can't scale them. [32:07] Too many firms wing it with clients while being structured with candidates — both need frameworks. [34:29] Sam praises Alex's consultative approach to hiring — problem-finding > solution-pushing. [36:55] Knowing the why behind hiring helps tailor the search to real business needs. [39:47] Ideally, firms would hire 3 execs per hold period — one for each phase. Instead, you need one who can run the full race. [43:10] Negotiation tips: frame your goals around the LP's goals. [45:35] Use three steps: Reflect objections, Reframe as shared objectives, Confirm buy-in. [48:27] Book recs: Negotiation Genius (Harvard), Start with No (Jim Camp), and Quit (Annie Duke).Sam's open to connecting on LinkedIn.

Episode Summary: Are you evoking the right emotions in your customers, or are you unknowingly driving them away? In this episode, Colin Shaw and Professor Ryan Hamilton dive deep into the fascinating (and often overlooked) world of customer emotions. Emotions are at the heart of every customer experience—from frustration and neglect to trust and happiness, and they're driving your bottom line. Colin shares a story about his wife Lorraine's coat-return drama and unpacks the emotional disaster it caused (hint: she's not buying from that brand again). Meanwhile, Ryan explains why emotions are “squishy,” why there's no universal list of emotions, and how organizations can still harness this powerful driver to build loyalty, advocacy, and revenue. You'll learn why emotions are always in play, how to identify the ones that drive value, and how to stop evoking the ones that destroy it. Colin and Ryan share practical tips, real-life examples, and the secret to aligning your team around the emotions that matter most. This episode is a must-listen for anyone serious about improving their customer experience—and their bottom line. Best Quote from the Episode: "If I went to the CEO of a company and said, ‘Here's the emotion your customers are feeling: frustration,' do you think they'd say, ‘Yes, that's exactly what we were going for'? Of course not! But if you're not managing emotions, you're leaving them to chance—and that's costing you loyalty and revenue." — Colin Shaw. Key Takeaways: Emotions Drive Customer Loyalty and Spending Emotions aren't just fluffy extras—they're the bedrock of customer decision-making. Positive emotions like trust, care, and value build loyalty, while negative ones like frustration and neglect destroy it. Most Companies Don't Know What Emotions They're Evoking If you ask your leadership team what emotions they're trying to evoke, you'll likely get different answers—or blank stares. That lack of alignment is a significant problem. Triggers Are Key to Managing Emotions Emotions don't happen by accident. They're triggered by specific actions, processes, or interactions. Identify the triggers in your customer journey and intentionally design them to evoke positive emotions. Practical Exercise: Emotion Safaris Take your team on a safari to experience your customer journey—or a competitor's—firsthand. Then debrief: What emotions did they feel? What triggered them? Were those the right emotions? The ROI of Emotions Customers who feel trust and care spend more and are more loyal. Customers who feel neglected cost you money. Managing emotions isn't just good for customers; it's good for your bottom line. Why You Should Listen: This episode isn't just about theory—it's about practical steps you can take to evoke the right emotions in your customers and improve your business results. Colin and Ryan's insights are backed by decades of research, real-world experience, and a healthy dose of humor. If you're ready to stop leaving customer emotions to chance and start managing them with intention, this episode is for you.   Resources Mentioned Emotional Research: https://beyondphilosophy.com/consulting/emotional-signature/ The DNA of Customer Experience: How emotions drive value book: https://beyondphilosophy.com/books/ About the Hosts: Colin Shaw is a LinkedIn 'Top Voice' with a massive 284,000 followers and 86,000 subscribers to his 'Why Customers Buy' newsletter.

Tatters, accompanied by the deadly Vale sisters, sets out on her mission to track down and recover the Ring of Winter. Their target, it transpires, is located within one of the most potent symbols of Dominion power.  True to form, things start badly, go downhill from there, and then plummet straight over the edge of a cliff as Tatters experiences a deeply disturbing revelation.  Links Transcript:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JcoDyLK43fWihJLgE_I5wzNcUWTMJGwJOXgkaI3s-gM/edit?usp=sharing All music is royalty-free, and courtesy of Pixabay: https://pixabay.com/music/ and Slipstream https://slip.stream/ Email TheLoneAdv@gmail.com Podbean https://theloneadventurer.podbean.com/ Blog https://carlillustration.wordpress.com/ Chasing Adventure: https://chasingadventuregame.com/ Perchance TLA random event oracle: https://perchance.org/tla-randomevent Perchance TLA ritual generator:https://perchance.org/tla-tatters-ritual-generator Perchance TLA Mythic 2e GME  https://perchance.org/tla-mythic2e Perchance TLA OCEANIC NPC generator https://perchance.org/tla-oceanic-npc Perchance TLA OCEANIC NPC behaviour oracle https://perchance.org/tla-oceanic-behaviour Perchance TLA Hammerhold Explorer https://perchance.org/tla-hammerhold Stephanie M's Fantasy and Modern Themes and Domains: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VjPuV29a5CgMXoUAQldcwvNB1FCsZwko/view https://drive.google.com/file/d/13KBv58Pq836vWLwDOK9qGYcCK8asK-O8/view Followers:  Mara Vale Qualities Warrior.

Team: Tatters - The cunning and resourceful protagonist. The Vale Sisters - Tatters' loyal and formidable bodyguards, known for their combat prowess and tactical acumen. Mission Overview: Lord Tortemus has identified the leader of the machine cult as the current possessor of the Ring of Winter.

Environmental Extremes: The presence of the Ring has caused unnatural cold within the fortress, creating hazardous conditions. Cult Defenders: Devoted and fanatical cultists, equipped with magitech weaponry, will fiercely defend their leader and the Ring. Mission Success Criteria: Successful retrieval of the Ring of Winter. Safe return of Tatters and the Vale sisters. Acquisition of valuable intelligence on the machine cult. Failure Conditions: Loss of the Ring to enemy forces. Capture or incapacitation of team members. Incomplete mission objectives due to unanticipated threats. Mission Commences: 18:00 hours, local time.   Genre: magitech. Describe an automated factory stronghold, at the heart of the industrial Chaintop area of Kyras, capital city of the Kyras Dominion. The air in Chaintop hummed with a low, insistent thrum. Gears ground, pistons hissed, and the glow of arcane forges cast long, dancing shadows across cobbled streets. At the heart of this industrial behemoth stood the Bastion of Gears, a fortress unlike any other. Appearance: Exterior: Hammerhold was a brutalist masterpiece, a symphony of iron and obsidian. Massive, interlocking gears formed the very walls, their teeth catching the light in a mesmerizing display. Arcane sigils, etched in shimmering gold, pulsed with an eerie light, warding off unwanted attention. Interior: A labyrinth of corridors, each a testament to magitech ingenuity. Production Halls: Gargantuan machines, powered by a combination of steam and arcane energy, churned out weapons, armor, and intricate gears. Dwarven engineers, their faces grim with concentration, monitored the intricate dance of pistons and pulleys. Assembly Lines: Goblins, their nimble fingers a blur of motion, assembled intricate magitech contraptions. From miniature clockwork automatons to devastating siege engines, each piece was crafted with meticulous care. Forges: Arcane forges, fueled by rare crystals, roared to life, casting a blinding light. Dwarven smiths, their bodies glowing with an otherworldly aura, hammered and shaped molten metal into weapons of terrifying beauty and power. Defenses: Arcane Shields: An invisible, shimmering barrier enveloped the bastion, deflecting projectiles and absorbing minor magical attacks. Auto-Cannon Turrets: Ironclad turrets, bristling with arcane-powered cannons, rotated menacingly, ready to unleash a barrage of fire upon any intruders. Clockwork Golems: Massive, iron golems, their movements fluid and deadly, patrolled the perimeter, their eyes glowing with malevolent intelligence. The Heart of Hammerhold: Deep within the fortress, in a chamber shielded by a dozen layers of arcane wards, resided the Engine of Creation, a masterpiece of magitech engineering. This colossal machine, powered by a captured celestial spirit, was the heart of Hammerhold, providing the raw energy that fueled the entire operation. Life Within Hammerhold: Hammerhold was a world unto itself. Dwarves, goblins, and humans, all bound by contracts of servitude, lived and worked within its walls. They were well-fed and well-compensated, but their lives were strictly regimented, their every move monitored by an intricate network of surveillance. Dissent was not tolerated. Hammerhold was a symbol of the Kyras Dominion's industrial might, its arsenal, a testament to the power of magitech. It was a fortress impregnable, a factory unmatched, and a constant reminder of the Dominion's unwavering pursuit of power.

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines 8 days away from the 2024 Election. First, they run through updates on the final countdown to election day 2024, Trump's fascist rally at MSG, Harris' final campaign push, GOP leads in Texas and Nebraska senate races, Jeff Bezos' obstruction of a Washington Post endorsement of Harris in a quid pro quo with Trump, Israel's attack on Iran and devastation in Gaza and the West Bank, PA DA Larry Krasner's suit against Elon Musk, the fifth circuits election shenanigans, and North Dakota's property tax, also watching Vance continue his floundering media run as Jake Tapper confronts him over Trump's “enemy from within” comments. Sam and Emma then parse through some of the most astonishing moments from Trump's fascist rally at Madison Square Garden in NYC, unpacking its parallel with a full-scale Nazi rally at MSG in 1939, exploring the breadths of virulent racism in “comedian” Kill Tony Hinchcliffe's speech (and the unsurprising backlash to it), and watching Rudy Giuliani do one final dance on stage for Trump and Israel. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma unpack Trump's “polling is fake” take on Rogan, parse through coverage of polling and what to make of polling among voters of various propensities, and attacks on ballot boxes in Portland and Vancouver. Omar from Dallas then calls in as he, Sam, and Emma dive deep into the bipartisan complicity in supporting Israel's genocide, the near guarantee of a West Bank annexation under Trump, the particular complicity of one Joe Biden, Democrats' refusal to learn from the electorate, single-issue voting and theories of change, and much more, before they chat with Jermo about election expectations, Stevie from Portland about why policy doesn't get news time, and Jacob from Indianapolis about the lack of sound logic behind conspiracy.
