Social media use trajectories and substance use experimentation: A prospective cohort study The American Journal of Psychiatry An analysis of data from more than 7,000 adolescents over 5 years found significant associations between rising social media use trajectories and substance use. Four distinct social media use trajectories were identified, with greater social media use over time throughout early adolescence being proportionally associated with an elevated likelihood of substance use.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

Today, we are learning from Mila Aliana. Mila works in the messy, uncharted spaces where complexity lives, across industries, sectors, coalitions, and multi-stakeholder systems, where things are no longer working and no one quite knows how to navigate what's next. Mila tends to work at the level of patterns and relationships, helping people see what's really shaping behaviour beneath the surface, not just what's visible. Her practice has been shaped by working across very different contexts, from government and global consortiums to sitting with indigenous elders, and Mila brings that into how she holds spaces for people to sense, relate, and move differently together. At the moment, she is closely involved in stewarding the transition of the Inner Development Goals ecosystem, staying with the tension between structure, culture, and what it actually takes to shift how we lead and work. Let's get started... In this conversation with Mila Aliana, I learned: 00:00 Intro - how we met and why I invited Mila Aliana 04:00 How do you become a weaver? 07:00 When we say system, it is relationships that weave together. 08:55 Time is my kin (family) 10:10 Wayfinding is the orientation. 17:25 Control is a coping strategy when we face uncertainty. 19:30 Wayfinding and weaving in the no-map territory. 21:35 Learning from sensing and knowing, and how can it be supported by science? 22:30 We are all participants in life, not answers. We are all relational. 25:20 The land is not a resource; it is our relative. Time is our kin. 25:40 I am part of the relay team that passes down to the next generation. 29:35 The fundamental question: Does it actually matter? 30:10 How do you make it possible for others to become the best version of themselves? (this part is important to me) 32:50 Does it matter to you that you know what the impact is? Why does it matter to you? 35:10 How do we make a living from this work? (important section) 36:10 If I create value, money will follow. 37:55 Translate what you work into something that people can pay for in their language. 40:10 Go where you are invited. 42:40 Separate survival from your purpose. 43:05 Design for mutual reciprocity and not transactional relationships. 45:45 Four criteria for mutual reciprocity in living systems. Does it give mutual benefit to each other? Is it complementary? Are you adaptive to change? Is it readily available? 53:30 Using the spiritual level in the decision-making. 56:55 The trust cultivated about boundaries. 58:05 The misunderstanding of purpose in your work. 1:06:40 Mila asks Erno what he will use tomorrow based on what he has learned in this conversation. 1:09:10 A before and after embodied experience in a workshop or meeting. 1:12:55 Experimentation and adaptive action. 1:15:30 Working in collaboration in a participatory process.

They discuss how silence and culture co-create toxicity (including reflections on rising fascism), how humans are participants in interdependent systems rather than in control, and how impact matters through relationships and ripple effects without needing recognition. Mila shares practical guidance on earning a living through boundaries, creating value, translating work into clients' language, building trust-based mutual reciprocity instead of transactional funnels, and choosing projects via deep knowing; they end with applying “before/after” experiences to introduce IDG work and experimenting through collaborative events and questions. Transcript [00:00:00] Erno Hannink: Hello, and welcome to episode 492 of the Decide for Impact podcast. Today, you're listening to the conversation with Mila Aliana. Mila works in the messy, uncharted spaces where complexity lives across industries, sectors, coalitions, and multi-stakeholder systems, where things are no longer working and no one quite knows how to navigate what's next. [00:00:29] Erno Hannink: Mila tends to work at the level of patterns and relationships, helping people see what's really shaping behavior beneath the surface, not just what's visible. Her practice has been shaped by working across very different contexts, from governments and global consortiums to sitting with indigenous elders, and Mila brings that into how she holds spaces for people to sense, relate, and move differently together. [00:01:00] Erno Hannink: At the moment, she is closely involved with stewarding the transition of the Inner Development Goals ecosystem, staying with the tension between structure, culture, and what it actually takes to shift how we lead and work. My name is Erno Hannink, and I share my knowledge, experience, and expertise with you. [00:01:21] Erno Hannink: I coach entrepreneurs so they make decisions that will help them to grow their impact. In this conversation with Mila, I learned so much about working differently based on relationships and how to make impact and how it does maybe impact my personal ego. Let's get started. Welcome in this new podcast episode. [00:01:47] Erno Hannink: Today, I'm talking to Mila Aliana [00:01:52] Mila Aliana: Yes. And- Thank you, Miguel. Very honored ... [00:01:56] Erno Hannink: yes, I am very honored that you're here, so thank you for being here. I got to know you... I've heard your name on several occasions when I w- in the, in the development goals environment. I was very active o- on the Global Practitioners Network. [00:02:09] Mila Aliana: Yes. [00:02:10] Erno Hannink: Uh, very active in my own community here that, that we organize meetings every month for, and, uh, then I finally met you in call last year- [00:02:19] Mila Aliana: Yes, that's right ... [00:02:20] Erno Hannink: when we had the conversations about the ambassadors, and I found that you were like a breath of fresh air and calmness in all these heated debates that were happening around ambassadors we need, and we need, we need this, and we need this, and- [00:02:34] Mila Aliana: Yeah [00:02:34] Erno Hannink: I was going like, "What? What are you, what are you doing?" I didn't understand what these people were just so mad about. [00:02:39] Mila Aliana: Yes. A- [00:02:40] Erno Hannink: and you were just very calm, asking questions, listening, bringing calm to the meeting, and I, I was very impressed with how you did then. I'm very happy that you were there, and even though you were just there a, a day and a half, you just, just very short, ha, like a breath of, a breath of fresh air. [00:03:00] Erno Hannink: So then I decide... I'm gonna just intro this, right? Yeah, sure. So then I decided to, 'cause I have this great project, also a large project that I'm working on right now. I'm building my new house with my wife, and so I'm doing all the installation work myself. I wanna be as much as I can with the build, with the builder. [00:03:19] Erno Hannink: It's bio-based. It's, it's w- wood. It's everything as, as good as I can afford. So I decided to l- dec- last December to say I'm gonna stop, uh, the Global Practitioners Network. I, I- Yeah ... have no space for the monthly meetings to- Yeah ... organize everything. [00:03:34] Mila Aliana: Yeah. [00:03:34] Erno Hannink: And then the request came along. We have this transition going on. [00:03:39] Erno Hannink: We need volunteers who w- is willing to help you. [00:03:42] Mila Aliana: Yeah. [00:03:42] Erno Hannink: And I felt the calling. I felt like I, I have to do this. I have to be part of this. Yes. I don't know how to find time, but I have to be part of this. Yes. So that's how we met again, because you were running this. But that's just an intro, a long one. [00:03:55] Mila Aliana: Yes. [00:03:56] Erno Hannink: But it's okay. It's an intro of how I got to know you and h- why I wanna have a conversation with you. My first real question for you is, and you call yourself a, a chief weaver. Well, somebody who's weaving. [00:04:09] Mila Aliana: Mm-hmm. [00:04:09] Erno Hannink: What does a weaver do, and h- how do you become a weaver? [00:04:14] Mila Aliana: So I think I'll start with how do you become a weaver? [00:04:20] Mila Aliana: It's really organically born because we are all weavers, uh, funnily enough. And it was just a conversation with, um, with one of my clients, and he says, "What do you actually do?" And I, I shared... 'cause normally when I have clients, they are-- it's very challenging for them to give me a label. I'm not a strategic advisor only. [00:04:45] Mila Aliana: I'm not a consultant only. I can also coach when I need to. But mainly big, huge collaborations, consortiums into really messy,...

Why do smart, capable, ambitious people know what to do... and still not do it?This question sits at the heart of my conversation with leadership coach, speaker and author Tamsin Simounds, and honestly, I think it's one so many of us are wrestling with.We live in a world overflowing with information. We can read the books, listen to the podcasts, learn the frameworks and understand exactly what we should be doing... and still find ourselves stuck.So why does that happen?In this episode, Tamsin and I explore the gap between knowing and doing, and why fear, identity, perfectionism, self-doubt and the need for certainty can stop us from taking action on the things that matter most.We talk about:Why taking action is often harder than gaining knowledgeThe fear that sits at the threshold of growthWhy discomfort isn't a problem to solveHow clarity is created through actionThe power of experimentation over perfectionWhy the only way to truly fail is to stopHow to move through the gap between knowing and doingWhether you're building a business, writing a book, changing careers, stepping into leadership or simply trying to trust yourself a little more, I think you're going to get so much from this conversation.Because the future doesn't change when we know more. It changes when we move.xx CBGuest I Tamsin Simounds - Leadership Coach | Speaker | Author of The Experiment Mindset | Founder https://www.tamsinsimounds.com/ Dream Maker ResourcesGet the Book: Let Your Vision Be Bigger Than Your Bullsh*t - If you've got a dream, vision or idea you want to bring to life, but keep getting stuck in fear, overthinking or self-doubt, this book is for you.7-Day Dream Maker Accelerator: Dream to Done - A simple, practical program to help you stop overthinking, build momentum, create your offer, make the invitation and take action on what matters.Connect with CBInstagram: @cb_dream_makerWebsite: cbdreammaker.com

All individuals matter; you're more empowered than you think; an old way of being is no longer viable; the bravery to try new things - that's the territory we're in. It's an "up and out" pocket.

Experimentation and validation of LLM performance is critical when building LLM-driven systems that must reliably deliver a service, from customer service chat bots to intelligence analysis tools. To help teams meet the need for rigorous evaluation methods, a research team in the SEI's AI Division led by Violet Turri has developed the Evaluating Large Language Models (ELM) library, which is built on best practices for LLM evaluation and benchmarking. In the latest episode from the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute, Turri sits down with Katie Robinson, a design researcher also in the SEI's AI division, to discuss the ELM library, which turns evaluation from an ad-hoc process into a repeatable, extensible framework.

Why the best leaders treat uncertainty as a chance to learn, not a failure to avoid.Most companies are built to grow. Far fewer are built to stay true to their purpose as they do.Eric Ries is an entrepreneur, creator of the Lean Startup movement, and author of Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad and How Great Companies Stay Great. For Ries, innovation starts with a simple reality: nobody can predict the future. “If you're going to do something fundamentally new,” he says, “how are we supposed to forecast” what success will look like? Instead of relying on certainty, leaders should focus on learning. “If you cannot fail, you cannot learn.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Ries and host Matt Abrahams explore how leaders can communicate through uncertainty, turn setbacks into valuable insights, and build cultures rooted in trust. From the power of the build-measure-learn feedback loop to the importance of making “deposits” in a company's culture bank, Ries shares practical strategies for creating organizations that innovate, adapt, and stay true to their values as they grow.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Eric RiesEric's Book: IncorruptibleEp.56 Lean Messaging: How Simple Messages Really StickEp.54 Leadership and Ethics: How to Communicate Your Core Values  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 >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:21) - Lean Startup Fundamentals (04:03) - Business Plans vs. Reality (06:31) - Learning from Failure (08:11) - Why Companies Go Bad (10:49) - The Culture Bank (13:51) - The Final Three Questions (22:05) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Unleash your Superhuman potential with AI that meets you where you work.

Send us Fan MailSophia Kianni is the co-founder and CEO of Phia, an AI shopping agent with more than 1.4 million users that has raised over $43 million from an investor list that includes Kris Jenner, Sara Blakely, and Hailey Bieber. Sophia and her co-founder built the company out of their Stanford dorm room on a single thesis: in the future, every consumer will have a personal AI shopping assistant.Sophia is also the co-host of The Burnouts, a podcast with more than 600,000 followers and over 200 million downloads. Earlier in her career, she founded Climate Cardinals, the world's largest youth-led climate nonprofit with more than 20,000 volunteers, and became the youngest United Nations advisor in U.S. history.In this episode, Sophia draws on her experience building high-velocity ventures before the age of 25 to challenge how founders think about feedback, team culture, content creation, experimentation, and workflow efficiency. She also makes a compelling argument for how AI should be used at work: removing friction from the parts of a workflow that drain time and energy without adding value.In this conversation, we discuss:Why the intersection of social and shopping looked like a solved problem to most founders, and the gap that Sophia and her co-founder saw inside their Stanford dorm roomHow Sophia thinks about team building as company building, and the specific qualities she screens for before resumes, credentials, or experienceHow a consumer-first mindset and relentless customer feedback help Phia iterate faster and build a product users loveWhy building close to your user is still the most underrated advantage in AI, and what most founders miss when they try to scale it Why Phia and The Burnouts built data-oriented content engines that operate like scientific labs, testing hooks, fonts, retention curves, and B-roll as measurable variables rather than relying on creative instincts aloneHow Sophia uses AI tools like Adobe Firefly to increase workflow efficiency by removing friction from repetitive tasks, not to replace creative work, but to protect itThe framework Sophia uses to decide whose feedback shapes her decisions and whose she treats as noiseResourcesSubscribe to the AI & The Future of Work NewsletterConnect with Sophia on LinkedInLIVE EVENT: See how leading enterprises are using agentic AI to give employees back 4–6 productive hours every week.

In this conversation featuring Travis and producer Eric, the discussion centers on personal branding, audience building, content creation, and the power of documenting your journey. Drawing from their own experiences growing podcasts, social media accounts, and upcoming projects, they explore why creators, entrepreneurs, and business owners should start building attention long before they have something to sell. From launching new accounts from scratch to documenting the process behind a book or business, this episode is packed with practical insights for anyone looking to grow an audience in today's digital landscape. On this episode we talk about: Why building a personal brand can create opportunities beyond your primary business or project The benefits of starting new social media accounts from scratch to test ideas and audiences How documenting the creation process can build trust and anticipation with your audience Why losing followers can actually improve engagement and long-term growth The importance of experimenting with content formats, hooks, and messaging Top 3 Takeaways Build the audience before the product is ready. The most successful launches often happen because attention and trust were established long before the product became available. Documenting creates authenticity. Showing the process behind a project helps people feel invested in the journey and proves the work behind the finished product. Experimentation is the fastest path to growth. Testing new accounts, different hooks, and multiple versions of the same message can reveal what truly resonates with an audience. Notable Quotes "Build the audience around the thing that you know is coming." "Documenting is almost the proof—the certificate of authenticity." "If you're not sure where to post it, start a new account from scratch and see what happens."

If you've ever had the chance to visit Buffalo Trace, then you've almost certainly heard them talk about experimental bourbon mashbills, barrels, and aging processes. Experimentation is something they take seriously at the "Trace" which has resulted in more than 30,000 "experimental" barrels that are aging in their warehouses. For this this short, we taste and review one of the more recent releases from this collection: 15 Year Experimental Wheated Mash. The release comes from just 13 barrels that were aged for 15 years on the first floor of Warehouse H. Over the course of maturation, 62% of the whiskey was lost to evaporation. The final product was then chill-filtered and bottled at 107 proof. The result? You'll have to listen to find out.--------------------------SocialsIG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupkyFB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupkyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupkyJoin our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcastPartnership(s)Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUPMusic: All the Fixings by Zachariah HickmanThank you so much for listening!

AI is no longer a future technology. It is already changing how work gets done, how companies make decisions and how economies compete. This special edition of Disruptors was recorded at the Creative Destruction Lab's Super Session during Toronto Tech Week. Host John Stackhouse is joined by Fabien Curto Millet, Chief Economist at Google and Sonia Sennik, CEO of Creative Destruction Lab, to explore AI adoption, productivity, jobs and Canada's competitiveness. Fabien brings a global view of AI adoption: where the data is showing productivity gains, why the jobs conversation is more nuanced than the headlines suggest, and why simple interventions like training, guidelines and encouragement can unlock experimentation. Sonia brings the founder and commercialization lens from CDL, where hundreds of science-based startups are working across AI, health, energy, agriculture, manufacturing and more. Together, they explore why AI is moving fast but unevenly, why some sectors and workers are pulling ahead while others remain cautious, and what leaders need to do to move from pilots to scaled workflow redesign. For Canada, the test is clear: the country has deep AI talent, strong institutions and a global reputation in modern AI. The gains will depend on adoption - especially among SMEs, public institutions and the sectors that make up the bulk of the economy. Think of it as an AI adoption blueprint for you and your organization.

What if the best way to improve cybersecurity — or any other form of human risk — wasn't another policy, training course, or piece of technology, but a board game?  That's the kind of question my guest, Jill Wick, loves asking.Episode Summary Jill is a cybersecurity awareness consultant, business psychologist, podcaster, and author. Her work sits at the intersection of psychology, marketing, behavioural science, and cybersecurity, and she is passionate about helping organisations understand that security is fundamentally a human challenge, not simply a technical one. Drawing on her experience in fraud prevention and her academic background in business psychology, Jill explains why traditional approaches to awareness often fail, why experimentation matters, and how a simple Snakes and Ladders-inspired game can create meaningful conversations about risk and decision-making. The discussion ranges far beyond cybersecurity. We explore creativity, curiosity, communication, organisational culture, social media, learning, and the challenge of measuring success when the outcome you're seeking is something that doesn't happen. Key TopicsIn this episode, we discuss:Why cybersecurity is ultimately a human problem rather than a technology problemThe psychology behind phishing, scams, and social engineeringWhy more policies and more training often fail to change behaviourHow unclear policies can create confusion instead of complianceThe role of curiosity, creativity, and experimentation in risk managementHow games can create psychologically safe environments for learningThe importance of conversation and peer learning in awareness programmesWhat compliance, safety, conduct, and operational risk professionals can learn from cybersecurity awarenessWhy awareness professionals should think more like marketersThe value of experimentation, iteration, and A/B testingHow social media can help build communities around important ideasWhy measuring engagement may be just as important as measuring failuresGuest BiographyJill Wick is a cybersecurity awareness consultant, business psychologist, author, and podcast host who specialises in the human side of cybersecurity. Drawing on a background in fraud prevention and behavioural science, she helps organisations build stronger security cultures through creative, engaging approaches that go beyond traditional training and compliance.

Jubilee Media founder and CEO Jason Y Lee joins Next in Media to break down how the digital-first studio builds scalable, format-driven IP that captures Gen Z's massive attention span without relying on a single face. Discover the monetization strategies behind their unscripted content, why creators are turning down Hollywood, and how authentic human conversation is outperforming AI in the modern creator economy. Key Takeaways: The Creator Economy Flip: Top digital creators no longer view Hollywood as the ultimate graduation point, reversing the media power dynamic as traditional studios now seek out digital-first strategies to survive. The Attention Span Myth: Massive engagement metrics on 90-minute videos prove that younger audiences aren't suffering from short attention spans; they are simply starving for unscripted, long-form authenticity. Format Over Face: Designing repeatable, host-agnostic IP rather than relying on a single charismatic personality eliminates key-person risk and unlocks true operational scalability for digital studios. Contextual Brand Storytelling: The next frontier of monetization rejects one-off, disruptive advertisements in favor of naturally embedding brands into existing, high-performing video franchises. The Anti-Echo Chamber Demand: Algorithms have hyper-fragmented public discourse, creating a massive, untapped market of viewers who actively seek out raw, multi-perspective content to escape their own echo chambers. The TV Screen Takeover: Digital-first production must now default to cinema-grade standards like 4K, as YouTube's massive growth on connected televisions blends the boundary between streaming networks and independent creators. The Human Premium in an AI Era: As artificial intelligence commoditizes automated content creation, media companies that double down on raw, real-life human connection will hold the ultimate competitive advantage. IP Upcycling and Windowing: Legacy distribution strategies like FAST channels and AVOD licensing represent the most lucrative secondary revenue streams for creators sitting on deep libraries of episodic content.

What happens when breweries start making cider… not because they have to, but because they want to keep drinking beer? That question kicks off episode 504 featuring Dan Kramer and Ben Anhalt of Element Brewing Company. "Most breweries probably see cider as a way to let them continue making beer." That line says a lot. And it opens the door to a bigger conversation. Breweries adding cider isn't just about diversification. It's not just about gluten-free taps. And it's definitely not just about adding another SKU. Something is shifting. In this episode, we dig into: • Why breweries are turning to cider right now • What changing consumer habits have to do with it • How cider fits into a beer-first business model • What this trend means for independent cider makers At Element, cider isn't an afterthought. It's part of a strategy to stay relevant in a changing market and a window into where craft beverages may be heading next.
