Juicios, Evolución y Fontaneros Aquí no hablamos de la boda de Mr. Amazon del Espacio… Hablamos de algo mucho más surrealista: CEOs que se interrumpen en podcasts, modelos que se entrenan con libros pirata, juicios donde el copyright depende del día… y un padrino de la IA que, en vez de calmar, advierte que esto huele a extinción. ¿Listos para conocer a Brad, a Dario, a Samdios y al que recomienda estudiar fontanería? PUNTOS CLAVE: Altman y Brad entran como estrellas en un directo del NYT… y se van igual de rápido. Pero no sin dejar un recadito legal. Brad Lightcap deja de ser el COO desconocido y se convierte en protagonista con CV de oro y tablas de Excel bajo el brazo. Anthropic y Meta ganan juicios por derechos de autor, pero con asteriscos grandes como data centers. La privacidad y el copyright ya no están en la misma sala… y puede que tampoco tú. Geoffrey Hinton se pone en modo Darwin y te explica cómo un chatbot egoísta puede ser tu sustituto natural. El empleo del futuro se debate entre ser técnico en IA… o fontanero con bata. ¿Y si el futuro ya no lo decide el humano? Bienvenidos al capítulo donde hasta el botón de apagar parece simbólico.

Getting Ready for a Great Season Teachhoops.com⁠ ⁠WintheSeason.com⁠ ⁠ ⁠Dr Dish Website⁠ ⁠CoachingYouthHoops.com⁠ ⁠https://forms.gle/kQ8zyxgfqwUA3ChU7⁠ ⁠Coach Collins Coaching Store⁠ The podcast episode, hosted by Steve Collins, delves into the essential strategies for preparing and planning a successful basketball season. The discussion centers on the importance of having a detailed, yet flexible, season overview that accommodates various activities, training sessions, and unforeseen changes. The conversation highlights how planning can enhance team performance and engagement throughout the season. Importance of a Detailed Season Plan: The episode begins with an explanation of the necessity for a comprehensive season plan, mapped out in Excel. This plan includes the game schedule, team dinners, weight training sessions, film sessions, and leadership activities. Coach Steve emphasizes that while having a plan is crucial, it should be adaptable to accommodate changes as the season progresses.

Team Building Activities: Team dinners and other bonding activities are scheduled to build team cohesion and foster a supportive environment. Weight Training: Weight training sessions are incorporated into the schedule, typically conducted by a full-time athletic trainer. The team aims for two sessions per week, avoiding days before games to ensure players are not fatigued. Film Sessions: Film sessions are planned based on the needs of the team. These sessions can vary in length and format, including whole team reviews, small group discussions, or individual player analysis.

Flexibility: Be prepared to adjust the plan as needed based on the team's circumstances and feedback.

In the age of virtual communication, here's how to ensure your messages convey what you mean.Texts. Emails. Slacks. Zooms. We're communicating in more ways than ever, but Andrew Brodsky has a word of warning: Your virtual communication might be sending messages you're not aware of.Brodsky is the author of PING: The Secrets of Successful Virtual Communication. And as a professor of management at the University of Texas McCombs School of Business, he researches the impact of technology on workplace communication. “In virtual communication, there's often missing information,” he says. “As recipients of it, we're searching to fill in the gaps. The problem [is] that the recipient who's making these guesses is often guessing incorrectly.” As his research reveals, variables like typos, the time you schedule a meeting, and even your choice of email signature affect how your messages are received — and how you're perceived.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, host Matt Abrahams and Brodsky explore his PING framework (perspective-taking, initiative, nonverbal awareness, and goals) for mastering digital communication. From understanding when to choose email over a phone call to navigating cameras-on versus cameras-off meetings, he offers practical strategies for ensuring your virtual messages communicate exactly what you intend.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premiumEpisode Reference Links:Andrew BrodskyAndrew's Book: PingEp.31 Quick Thinks: How to Shine Online and Excel at Virtual Communication Ep.53 Step Up and Stand Out: How to Create the Right Environment for Communication  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:34) - What Is Virtual Communication?

Olzhas (Oz) Zhiyenkul, CEO and co-founder of Investbanq, joins Jeremy Au to share how his journey from post-Soviet Kazakhstan to launching a full-stack wealth operating system was shaped by hardship, global education, and the inefficiencies he witnessed firsthand across Asia's financial sector. They discuss how legacy systems fail family offices, why most wealth managers still operate on Excel, and how Investbanq aims to empower rather than replace relationship managers. Olzhas also recounts building boats from garbage on reality TV, reflects on cultural shocks from the UK to Singapore, and maps out his long-term vision for a digital-native wealth future. 06:21 He originally planned to become a nuclear physicist: His passion for math and physics drove dreams of commercializing cold fusion, but advice from a successful uncle led him to pivot toward finance for greater career stability and impact. 09:55 He moved to Singapore to manage a proprietary trading desk: A job offer brought him to Singapore, where he was initially overwhelmed by the heat but impressed by the country's legal, economic, and governance systems, eventually calling it home. 11:42 He rose to CIO of a fund before founding multiple ventures: After working across trading, fund management, and private banking, he identified widespread inefficiencies and started several businesses, including a software studio and wealth firm with co-founder Damir. 17:45 Investbanq was built after failed attempts to digitize wealth management: Disappointed by market solutions that only solved narrow problems, he built a modular operating system with BPMS, CRM, portfolio management, and client reporting, integrated across workflows. 26:50 On reality show Meet the Drapers, he chose discomfort over comfort: During a survival challenge with ex-military participants, Oz gave up the warm seat on a garbage-built boat to join his team in freezing water, valuing full effort over taking the easy role.

Beginner's luck was real—but it's not forever. If you got into real estate during the pandemic boom years, chances are you saw fast wins and easy closings and you might've thought, “Wow, this job is amazing!” But now, things feel different. Harder. Slower. And maybe you're wondering… “Do I even have what it takes?” In this episode, we're having an honest, sometimes tough-love chat about what it really takes to make it in real estate today. We're sharing our own early career stories: what worked, what didn't, and why survival back then looks a lot like what it takes now. We're talking about the shift from pandemic market momentum to today's unpredictable reality and why so many agents are feeling lost, confused, and ready to walk away. If you're in that spot, we want to help you find clarity (not just blind motivation). We cover: The hard truth about beginner's luck What it means to truly commit to a real estate business Why some agents succeed and others don't How to know if it's time to quit—or double down Real questions to audit your situation honestly The shift from “I want to” to “I need to make this work” Why having a backup plan can actually hurt your chances This episode is for you if: You're thinking about leaving the business (but feel guilty or unsure) You're wondering if this slump is just temporary or a sign You want to stop spinning your wheels and start working a real plan This one might sting a little—but we promise it's full of encouragement, clarity, and direction too. Consider this your wake-up call and pep talk rolled into one.

In this episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee explores a unique weekend experience that provides powerful life lessons about roles and responsibilities. Through an anecdote about assisting his brother's mobile sauna company, Lone Star Sauna Co,  for a client's 30th birthday, Baylor underscores the importance of excelling in any position—whether in the spotlight or behind the scenes. This candid narrative offers valuable insights into understanding one's place in a bigger scheme and the significance of making an impact regardless of recognition. Baylor reflects on the dichotomy between being "the star" and being "the help," emphasizing how both roles are crucial to the success of any endeavor. He explains that while being in the spotlight appears glamorous, it often involves challenges such as increased scrutiny and pressure. Those in leadership or prominent roles must live up to expectations, demonstrating responsibility and commitment. Meanwhile, when serving behind the scenes, even when unnoticed, it is vital to strive for excellence as this dedication inevitably leads to greater opportunities. Ultimately, Baylor insists on the philosophy of improving others' experiences and making a lasting impact in whatever role you find yourself, as this mindset will lead to personal and professional growth over time. Key Takeaways: Dual Roles: Embrace the vital roles of both being in the spotlight and working behind the scenes; both contribute to the operation's success. Leadership Challenges: Higher positions bring more scrutiny; leaders must commit to living up to the responsibilities and expectations. Commitment to Excellence: Whether recognized or not, give your best in every task to ensure future opportunities and personal development. Making an Impact: Focus on enhancing others' experiences and contributing positively to the world, regardless of your role. Visibility Over Time: Persistence in giving your best will eventually lead to recognition, turning previous efforts into stardom. Notable Quotes: "In those events, in my arena, in what I do, I'm a somebody...in a different environment, I'm just the help." "The higher up you go, the more people are focused on you...all it does is expose your flaws, the mistakes that you make, the failures that you have." "I'm going to make this the best cold plunge experience that I can... because it's my time, and what I spend my time doing I want to be the absolute best at." "Make somebody else's experience better. Make somebody else's life better. Do something to make an impact on the world." "Eventually somebody sees it and eventually that pays off, then you become the star."

Australian-born Luke Mulcahy started in FP&A at larger businesses including Coates Group (internet leader in Sydney) and manufacturing company Sherwin-Williams. But for nearly 4 years he has loved having “wow” moments of finance insights with smaller companies. closer to the $5-10million range, where powerful insights are taken straight from finance to the CFO. In his words: “You can have those moments a lot more frequently with small business owners and just tell them what they're, what they're missing, what they haven't got eyes on.” In this episode: Forecasting energy consumption for a utility company in Australia The fear and strategy of becoming a fractional CFO  The ideal set up for FP&A in small businesses  Why big companies often have big data problems (and cleaning that data) Big FP&A wins in small business Solving the date problem in Excel 

Our guest in this episode is the returning Dr. Islam Gouda, a global brand ambassador and marketing mentor from Egypt. Islam previously appeared on Episode 660, where we had a fantastic chat about building authentic relationships through ethical marketing, aligning brand values with customer ethos, and the critical role of human connection.This time, Islam is back to explore how we can uphold those same principles in the age of AI. He explains how we can embrace AI's power without sacrificing the authenticity and intuition that truly connect with customers. Islam offers a brilliant framework for treating AI as an assistant, not a replacement, ensuring our marketing remains valuable and real.Key points discussed include:* AI is your assistant, not your expert; use it to enhance your unique skills, not replace them.* Human creativity is a rare "nature-bred pearl," far more valuable than AI's generic "artificial pearl" output.* Use AI for research and brainstorming, but always maintain human oversight and a healthy dose of distrust.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Innovabiz Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Show Notes from this episode with Dr Islam GoudaIt was a genuine pleasure to welcome Dr. Islam Gouda back to the Innovabuzz podcast. So much of our world has shifted since his last appearance, especially with the explosion of Artificial Intelligence into our daily marketing lives. As a marketing mentor and AI enthusiast himself, Islam offered a powerful and refreshingly grounded perspective on how we, as business owners and marketers, can navigate this new frontier without losing the one thing that truly sets us apart: our human connection.The conversation kicked off with a critical warning. Islam pointed out that AI, for all its power, carries a significant risk: it can make us all look and sound the same. In its quest for perfection, AI can strip away the unique personality and the authentic voice that defines a brand. If we are not careful, we risk dissolving into a sea of "impeccable" but ultimately generic content, losing the very essence of what makes customers connect with us on a human level.Championing the "Marketing Gut"So, how do we fight this trend towards standardization? Islam argues it all comes down to valuing our own foundational expertise, what he wonderfully calls the "marketing gut". He shared a brilliant analogy, comparing AI's arrival in marketing to the introduction of Excel for accountants. Back then, accountants were afraid of becoming obsolete, but Excel didn't replace them; it empowered them. It became a tool that allowed them to be better at their craft.That is precisely how we should view AI. It is not a replacement for our knowledge, our understanding of our customers, or our strategic intuition. If you don't have that solid marketing foundation, you are simply feeding a machine and hoping for the best. True magic happens when human expertise guides the tool, not the other way around.The Parable of the Two PearlsTo drive this point home, Islam shared a powerful metaphor that has really stuck with me. He compared AI-generated content to an "artificial pearl". It might look perfect and be easy to produce in mass quantities, but its value is inherently limited. Human-generated output, on the other hand, is like a "nature-bred pearl". It is rare, unique, and sometimes imperfect, but its intrinsic value is exponentially higher.This parable is a profound reminder for all of us in the marketing space. Are we striving to produce cheap, artificial pearls that are easily replicated, or are we cultivating the unique, valuable, nature-bred pearls of human creativity and strategy? The answer to that question will define the future of our brands.Wielding the Tool Wisely: AI as Your Research AssistantThis does not mean we should shun AI altogether. In fact, when used correctly, it is an incredibly powerful assistant. Islam and I discussed how AI can be a game-changer for the research phase of any project. It can synthesize competitor data, analyze customer sentiment, and explore messaging angles in minutes, a process that used to take days.By treating AI as a brainstorming partner or a research engine, we can supercharge our strategic work. It can give us five different ways to approach a problem or pull together a comprehensive report, freeing up our time and mental energy to focus on the high-level thinking that only a human can do.Keeping the Human in ControlThe key, however, is to always keep the human in control and to maintain a healthy level of distrust. I shared my own recent experience of receiving a cold, dismissive, and clearly AI-written response from a company I had been loyal to for years. It was a perfect example of what happens when the human oversight is removed.Islam stressed that you always need a human eye to supervise the machine, someone who knows the company, understands the customer, and can say, "That's not okay." We cannot afford to put a machine, which is a stranger to our business, in charge of our precious customer relationships. You must have a human making that final call.Conclusion: Don't Fear It, Don't Trust It BlindlySo what is the final takeaway from my fascinating conversation with Dr. Islam Gouda? It is a beautifully balanced piece of advice. Do not fear AI, but also, do not trust it blindly. See it for what it is: a powerful enablement tool.Use AI to augment your skills and to handle the heavy lifting of data analysis and first drafts. Let it make you better, faster, and more informed. But never, ever let it replace your expertise, your intuition, or the genuine human connection that forms the very bedrock of great marketing.In Summary: Dr. Islam Gouda delivers a masterclass in navigating the AI revolution with wisdom and foresight. He reminds us that while AI is a powerful assistant, our true value lies in our "marketing gut" and human creativity. The goal is not to be replaced by the machine, but to become the skilled human who directs it, always prioritizing authentic connection over artificial perfection.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Islam's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* Most innovative use of AI to enhance human relationships – The “AI burger” chain in Dubai that uses AI to create recipes, connecting with customers through the shared novelty and intrigue of the concept.* Best thing to integrate AI and human connection – Using AI tools for research and social listening, and brainstorming with it like an assistant to leverage and enhance his own expertise.* Differentiate by leveraging AI – Understand how AI truly works so you can use it as an efficient tool to assist you, without placing too much trust in it.ActionApproach AI without fear or blind trust. Consciously use it as an "enablement tool". Start this week, treating it as an assistant with the specific goal of making you better at your craft, not replacing your invaluable human expertise.Reach OutYou can reach out and thank Islam on LinkedIn by searching for his profile, “The Marketing Master Islam Gouda,” or by looking for his marketing services online.

Best Ball Breakfast returns for 4 more drafts in the Best Ball Mania 6 contest on Underdog Fantasy. We begin with a solo draft, bring back the usual guests of Pat Kerrane and Mike Leone, then conclude with special guest Pat Mayo. Topics discussed: grinding our way out of a WR avalanche on a DHenry valuehound start, drafting a Sidekick-ass team with Kerrane, galaxy-braining opposing QBs in the same week 17 game with Leone, just drafting good players with Pat Mayo.⁠☕ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a "Best Ball Value Hound" Youtube member⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to get access to Best Ball After Dark interviews.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: A listener named Mike says, To what degree do you think it's appropriate to talk with your peer managers about people that have moved from their team to yours? How much weight do you give their criticisms of an IC that they used to manage that is working out just fine under your leadership? How do you know if it was mostly due to a conflict in their relationship, or if there's a nugget of truth you need to look out for? Hi, thanks for a great show. I've listened to 400 episodes in a year - thanks for making my commute fun! I've been at my current job as a software developer for a year. It's a great company overall, but we rely on a 30-year-old in-house ticket system that also doubles as a time reporting tool. It lacks many basic features, and project managers often resort to SQL and Excel just to get an overview. As you can imagine, things get forgotten and lost easily. Everyone dislikes it, but the old-timers are used to it. They want any replacement to be cheap and also handle time reporting, which really limits our options. I suggested to keep using the old system for time reporting only for now, but the reaction made me feel like I'd suggested going back to pen and paper. While the company is old and set in its ways in some areas, it has made big changes in others, so I'm not ready to give up hope just yet. How can I at least nudge the company toward adopting a more modern ticket system to improve visibility and planning? I've shown examples that save time and offer better overviews, but it hasn't made much impact. Where should I focus my efforts—or do I just have to learn to live with it? Some more context: This is in Europe and the culture at the company is generally open to feedback and discussions from anyone. I have 10+ years experience and a relatively good influence. My manager is driving change successfully to make the company more modern but I suspect he might have given up on this one.

Craig Whitney's journey from burned-out church planter to multiplication catalyst reveals powerful insights about sustainable ministry and leadership development. Whitney's story begins with a familiar path—growing up in a ministry family, experiencing a pivotal moment of faith at summer camp, and eventually planting a church at just 26 years old. But after seven years of ministry in Windsor, California, he hit a wall that many leaders face: complete burnout. What happened next proved transformative. A brief departure from ministry into the business world unexpectedly revolutionized Whitney's understanding of evangelism. He discovered that meaningful spiritual conversations happened naturally outside church walls—often initiated by others—challenging his preconceptions about how faith spreads in everyday settings.Send us a textWe want to help you find your next steps in ministry.Connect here with EXCEL.

Gone.Now it's tinctures, trauma maps, and prescription pad arson.She doesn't taper meds—she liberates identities wrapped in child-proof caps.She's the bridge between clinical protocol and cosmic remembrance,reminding you that healing isn't sterile—it's wild, erotic, terrifying, and sacred.She doesn't treat patients.She resurrects forgotten gods buried under a decade of SSRIs.⸻Then there's Stephanie Karzon,clinical neuropharmacologist and operational hitwoman for the new paradigm.She's the kind of woman who can turn an Excel sheetinto an occult artifact,a protocol into a prophecy,and a strategy session into a reality distortion fieldwhere logic and magic shake hands and start a band.She's part oracle, part hacker, part psychedelic systems saboteur.Her workflows breathe. Her molecules plot.She's redesigning healing itself—not to fit the system,but to make the system irrelevant.You don't hire Stephanie to fix things.You summon her when it's time to burn down the lie of “efficiency”and replace it with sacred recursion, intuitive intelligence, and bioluminescent logistics.⸻Together—Jennifer and Stephanie—aren't part of a movement.They're the rupture.The mycelial insurgents crawling beneath the hospital floorboards.The ones who plant psilocybin in your care planand call it “a necessary correction.”This isn't wellness.This is the sacred rewilding of medicine.This isn't healthcare.It's a feral uprising with a stethoscope and a serpent drum.You thought you came to listen?You came to remember.Welcome to the frontlineof the ritual reprogrammingof everything you were told healing had to be.Let's begin.https://linktr.ee/steph__k?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=ef7a3580-8859-439d-b7b5-9fd55a4a11b9https://iresonatehealth.com/ Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

He also discusses the psychology of trust between CFOs and AI systems, introduces Sage's new AI transparency labels, and explains why his company is taking a more cautious approach than competitors like Intuit when deploying autonomous agents.Meet Our Guest, Aaron Harris, CTO, SageLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-harris-7407b2/Website: https://www.sageintacct.com/leadership/aaron-harrisX: https://x.com/AaronRHarrisLearn more about Sagehttps://www.sage.com/Need CPE?Get CPE for listening to podcasts with Earmark: https://earmarkcpe.comSubscribe to the Earmark Podcast: https://podcast.earmarkcpe.comGet in TouchThanks for listening and the great reviews!

Jonah's story is a testament to perseverance and continuous self-improvement.
