Download: INTRINSIC VS. EXTRINSIC GOALSIn this episode of The Addicted Mind Plus, Duane and Eric Osterlind dive into the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic goals and how they affect our well-being. Have you ever felt the high of achieving a big goal, only to have that happiness fade away? This episode explores why that happens and introduces the concept of the "hedonic treadmill." You'll learn how extrinsic goals, like money and status, give short-term happiness but don't last. In contrast, intrinsic goals, like personal growth and meaningful relationships, bring deeper and more lasting joy. Duane and Eric share practical tips on how to shift your focus to these intrinsic goals, cultivate gratitude, and build stronger, more fulfilling connections. They also discuss the importance of mindfulness, personal growth, and serving others in achieving true contentment. Tune in to discover how you can step off the hedonic treadmill and find real, sustainable happiness in your life.Key Topics The difference between extrinsic and intrinsic goalsUnderstanding the hedonic treadmillHow extrinsic goals lead to temporary happinessThe importance of intrinsic goals for lasting fulfillmentPractical tips to shift focus and cultivate intrinsic goalsTimestamp List[00:01:06] Introduction to the topic: Extrinsic vs. Intrinsic Goals[00:03:08] Explanation of the hedonic treadmill[00:04:20] The impact of extrinsic goals on happiness[00:07:33] Defining and understanding intrinsic goals[00:11:00] How to step off the hedonic treadmill[00:16:04] Practical tips for cultivating intrinsic goals[00:19:00] Summary and closing thoughtsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Opening prayer and transition Prayer for healing of minds, emotions, and bodies in Jesus' name. Blessing over the people and light-hearted comment about “sinners/singers” saved by grace. Transition to the morning teaching and reference to the notes on fasting and prayer. Purpose of the teaching Many new people in the church do not fully understand prayer and fasting. Long-time members also need renewed direction, inspiration, and encouragement from Scripture for an effective and profitable fast. Pastor's personal struggle with coughing and mic; testimony of praying over the upcoming fast and the church. Realization: the Lord, as the Good Shepherd, cares more about the people and their fasting than the pastor does. Emphasis that believers must hear the Shepherd's voice; call to open hearts and spirits to the Word and notes. What fasting is (definition and biblical basis) Fasting described as a spiritual discipline taught in the Bible, not an afterthought or optional for Christians. Reference to Jesus' Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7) and the three practices: praying, giving, fasting (“when you pray… when you give… when you fast,” not “if”). Reading/summary of Matthew 6:16–18: Do not fast to impress others; keep normal appearance; the Father sees in secret and rewards openly. Clarification: corporate fast cannot be fully secret, but the heart motive still must be God-centered, not people-centered. Cultural critique: problem of overeating and food addictions; fasting is needed, not optional. Why fast? Main reasons 1. Health and personal reset Fasting brings health benefits; warning about “digging graves with forks and spoons.” Pastor's personal testimony: fasting at the beginning of the year as a “reset” that affects months afterward and increases awareness of what is eaten. 2. Fasting gives more time for prayer Time normally used for preparing, eating, and cleaning up can be redirected to prayer. Acknowledgment of family responsibilities; encouragement to use available time for prayer. Biblical link between fasting and prayer: example from Acts 13 (worshiping, fasting, Holy Spirit speaks, Paul/Barnabas set apart). Explanation of the church's prayer schedule for the fasting week (Monday–Friday, 6:30–8:30 with personal prayer, worship, exhortation, and corporate prayer each night, plus guest ministers and special focuses). 3. Fasting shows the depth of desire in prayer Fasting demonstrates how serious and desperate a person is about a prayer need. Challenge to those struggling with addictions, family issues, or sin to get desperate enough to say no to food. Story of a former pastor who listed God's blessings and then asked, “What are you willing to do?” Scriptural support from Joel: Call a holy fast, sacred assembly; return to God with all the heart, with fasting and weeping. Teaching that fasting “turbocharges” prayer and reaches the core of one's being. 4. Fasting releases God's supernatural power Observation of revival signs: increased Bible sales, campus awakenings, baptisms, and renewed spirituality. Note that whenever God moves, the devil attacks (division, discouragement, defeat, depression, doubt). Emphasis that united prayer and fasting delivers decisive blows to the enemy. Scriptural examples: Ezra 8:23 (“we fasted and prayed… and he answered”). Isaiah 58:6 (fasting that loosens chains of injustice, breaks yokes, sets oppressed free). Testimony of church growth attributed to prayer and fasting (services, groups, leaders, missions). Warning: forward movement invites spiritual resistance, requiring vigilance and continued fasting. Importance of fasting in Scripture (examples) Often precedes major victories, miracles, and answered prayers. Examples listed: Moses fasting before receiving the Ten Commandments. Israelites fasting before miraculous victory. Daniel fasting for guidance and understanding God's plan (reading Jeremiah, receiving revelation). Personal example: pastor fasting over whom to marry and other major decisions (work, place to live, business partnerships, missions trips). Nehemiah fasting and praying before rebuilding Jerusalem's walls, completing a century-old problem in 52 days. Jesus fasting 40 days before public ministry and during temptation in the wilderness. First Christians fasting during key decision-making (Acts 13, etc.). Application: fast over important life decisions; don't rely on human wisdom alone. Precautions and heart posture in fasting Fasting is not: Earning answers or manipulating God. A hunger strike against God. Fasting is: Aligning with God's will and opening space for what God already desires to do. Health cautions: Fast only as health allows; consider partial fasts if on medication, etc. Warning against “sneaky” or superficial consecrations (e.g., trivial fasting windows that cost nothing). Encouragement to make fasting truly sacrificial and appropriate to one's work and physical capacity. Practical guidance: types and structure of fasting Types of fasts mentioned: Water fast (all food and juices abstained from; not recommended for everyone for five days). Partial fast (eliminating certain foods or meals). Juice fast (fruit or vegetable juices only). Counsel on nutrition and physical activity: Ensure nutrients; limit strenuous exercise; do not let exercise become an excuse to skip prayer/fasting. Guidance on breaking the fast: Avoid heavy foods immediately (e.g., burritos, large meals); ease back into eating with lighter foods like fruit. Corporate fasting and commitment Corporate fast provides structure, accountability, and mutual encouragement. Testimony of previous years: New believers and first-time fasters completing five days. Past 21-day fast (juice/soup only) and challenges met by the congregation. Value of structure: same as work or school schedules; helps people follow through. Mention of attendance statistics from previous years and desire to see increased participation (with the reminder that numbers represent people, not pride). Fasting as assumed biblical practice Jesus says “when you fast,” implying fasting is assumed for Christians. Note of a resurgence of fasting teaching in recent decades, including influence from African and global churches. Observation: when God prepares to move, he stirs people to prayer and fasting. Biblical reasons people fasted (summary list) Facing a crisis. Seeking God's protection and deliverance. Called to repentance and renewal. Asking God for guidance. Humbling themselves in worship. Dangers in the discipline Risk of empty ritual or fasting without meaning. Encouragement to start fasting and seek right motives as you go. Repeated call to hear the Good Shepherd's voice and recognize that God wants to speak, guide, and bless more than people often realize. Fasting as feasting on Jesus John Wesley quote: fasting must be done unto the Lord, with the eye singly fixed on Him, to glorify the Father.​ Story of an Indian orphanage that fasts every Friday and calls it “feasting on Jesus,” praying specifically for the American church. Call to fast and leadership responsibility Fasting starts with spiritual leaders and elders; leaders must model what they preach. Fasting often arises from spiritual desperation and urgency: “turn to me now while there is time.” Warning about increasing end-time deception; need for discernment and closeness to God. Fasting and inner focus Fasting is more about focus than food; more about saying yes to the Spirit than no to the body. It is an outward response to an inward cry, an expression of brokenness and need. Calls to return to God with the heart, not just external religious acts (rending hearts, not garments). Fasting as response of a broken heart; God is drawn to the weak, broken, needy. Immense responsibility and mission Believers carry the immense responsibility to be salt and light, preaching the gospel to a lost world. Fasting is a humble response to this responsibility, seeking God's help and power to fulfill the mission. Closing exhortation and prayer Pastor expresses desire to communicate God's heart and encourage participation in the fast. Emphasis that God wants to speak and move, and fasting clears space in the heart. Call to fresh consecration and commitment for individuals and families. Prayer that God will bless and strengthen everyone who takes part, and closing invitation to join nightly prayer during the fasting week.

Explore the enigmatic realm of unidentified flying objects through three rare, obscure photographs that have intrigued UFO researchers, skeptics, and conspiracy enthusiasts. Captured in a time before digital editing, these images—from snowy Poland, wartime China, and sunny Italy—defy simple explanations and hint at extraterrestrial observers challenging our reality.MF Thomas starts by honoring the infamous 1975 Billy Meier photo from Switzerland: a silver disc "beamship" that inspired The X-Files' "I Want to Believe" poster. Debunked as a hoax with models, strings, and confirmed by his ex-wife Kalliope and experts like Joe Nickell, it contrasts with the episode's more resilient cases.In Part 1, travel to 1959 Muszyna, Poland, where Dr. Stanislaw Kowalczewski photographed a flattened oval UFO during a winter holiday. Emerging from a yellow-orange cloud as a luminous orb, it appeared as a dark saucer on film. Experts in Warsaw papers like Stolica affirmed it 90% likely a self-luminous flying saucer. Linked to Polish UFO lore like Gdynia and Emilcin, it faded under Soviet secrecy—alien craft or artifact?Part 2 delves into WWII Pacific Foo Fighters, focusing on the 1942 Hopeh UFO photo from Tianjin, China, under Japanese occupation. This street-level shot shows a domed silver disc overhead, with pointing pedestrians. Ufologist Shi Bo attributes it to an American witness; analyses dismiss planes or shells. Tied to sightings like Sergeant Brickner's 150+ wobbling objects over Tulagi, it anchors Asian UFO history.In Part 3, relive Italian pilot Giancarlo Cecconi's 1979 Treviso encounter. Radar spotted an erratic object with a blue trail; Cecconi snapped 80+ photos of a 25-foot matte-black cigar-shaped craft with a dome, maneuvering at 300 mph. Backed by witnesses and researcher Antonio Chiumiento, who uncovered potential Ministry cover-ups. Parallels include Chiles-Whitted (1948), RB-47 (1957), and Gemini 4 (1965) cylinders.Weaving testimonies, analyses, and cosmic philosophy, this episode sparks wonder: portals to other worlds or illusions?

Ever feel like your church calendar skips straight from Christmas cheer to Easter celebration—missing something crucial in between? You're not alone, and Lent might be the answer.Join Joshua Lewis and author Elyse Fitzpatrick to understand why Lent matters for every believer—not just the high church crowd. Elyse shares her transformative Ash Wednesday experience during the pandemic and why spending 40 days reflecting on Christ's suffering changed everything about her faith.This isn't about earning brownie points with God through religious rituals. It's about understanding that before glory comes suffering—and why Western Christianity desperately needs to recover this truth. Elyse unpacks how fasting reveals our weakness so we can rest in Christ's strength, and why biblical lament looks nothing like hopeless despair.This conversation challenges our therapeutic, comfort-obsessed culture. Discover why the church calendar isn't just liturgical tradition—it's discipleship that keeps Christ's life and work constantly before our eyes. Learn how to practice godly lament, embrace voluntary weakness, and find hope in the wilderness seasons of life.In This Episode:-Why low-church Christians should care about Lent and the church calendar-The difference between fasting for merit versus fasting for remembrance-How to practice biblical lament with resurrection hope-Why American Christianity avoids suffering and what we lose because of it-The hidden grief of Palm Sunday and burned palm branch symbolism-Balancing community service with personal solitude during Lent0:00 – Introduction3:07 – What is Lent and Why Does it Matter?8:54 – The Experience of Ash Wednesday15:12 – Jesus in the Wilderness and Voluntary Weakness27:13 – Why "Friend of Sinners"?34:42 – Understanding Healthy Christian Lament42:34 – Palm Sunday Triumph and Weeping51:03 – Closing ThoughtsABOUT THE GUEST:

@Christadelphians Video: Description: The 12 foundations of the city walls are made of 12 stones that reflect pure light. All light we see is reflected, but isotropic materials don't affect polarised light, whereas anisotropic materials do. All the stones mentioned in Revelation 21 for the foundations are anisotropic which means when pure polarised light shines through them they are colourful. God looks on the heart with pure light, so the glory of God is reflected in us as living stones as the foundation to build the saints who are the temple of the living God.# SummaryThe video explores the significance of the 12 specific jewels chosen by God for the foundations of the city walls in Revelation 21, emphasizing their unique properties and spiritual symbolism.# Highlights-

The Mindset Debrief: Gaining perspective on what hits you hard and not making it your identityPain has a way of hanging around longer than it should. Not because you want it to, but because it keeps offering itself as protection. One hard hit turns into a default posture. You start bracing early. You assume the worst faster. You call it boundaries, but it can turn into walls. You call it self-awareness, but it can turn into a script that plays before anything even happens.In this episode, we're looking at the difference between pain as a teacher and pain as an identity. Pain can sharpen judgment, clarify what you value, and show you what you won't tolerate again. But if it isn't processed, it doesn't stay in its corner. It leaks into how you speak, how you trust, how you handle stress, and how people experience you in a room. It can start to feel like control, even when it's costing you more than it's protecting you.This episode offers specifics about what it looks like when pain becomes personality, and what changes when pain becomes perspective. Perspective doesn't erase what happened. It organizes it. It puts the experience in the right place so it can inform decisions without running them. You'll hear the shift in the questions too. Not “What did this do to me,” but “What did this teach me.” Not “How do I make sure this never happens again,” but “How do I move forward without carrying this into everything.”Information is also presented regarding personal responsibility without pretending pain didn't matter. Explanation isn't exemption. At some point, what happened to you can't be the reason you stop working on yourself. We'll talk about how processed pain sounds different than unprocessed pain, how absolutist thinking narrows the future, and why maturity often looks like catching old reactions before they become default.If you've felt yourself tightening up, getting more guarded, or living like your hardest chapter is the whole book, this episode is built for that moment.Share this episode with someone who could benefit from the information.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND CollectiveGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://thegrndcollective.com/Promo Code: TRANSITION15

We examine the newly proposed 14th anomaly: the remarkably rare alignment of 3I/ATLAS's rotation axis within about 8 degrees of the sunward direction at distances greater than 5 AU, a configuration with a probability of less than about 0.5 percent if random. This alignment has major implications for how we interpret the object's anti-tail jet geometry, rotational dynamics, and overall physical behavior, adding to a growing list of anomalies that strain standard cometary explanations. Whether you are interested in jets, rotation periods, anti-tail physics, or what these observations imply about natural versus technological origins, this livestream offers a rigorous, evidence-driven deep dive. We will lay out the data, compare competing interpretations, and ask the central question: is 3I/ATLAS simply an unusual comet, or something fundamentally different? - Run of Show 00:00 – 02:00 Intro and context: Discovery of 3I/ATLAS, orbital properties, and why it has drawn intense attention. 02:00 – 05:00 What is an interstellar object: Comparison with 1I/Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov. 05:00 – 10:00 Anomalies 1 through 5: Brief recap of the earliest reported oddities, including trajectory and activity. 10:00 – 15:00 Anti-tail observations and physics: Explanation of the sunward anti-tail and why it is unusual. 15:00 – 20:00 Rotation period and periodic behavior: Discussion of the roughly 15.5 to 16.2 hour signal and its interpretation. 20:00 – 25:00 Recap of the first 13 anomalies: How they are ranked by likelihood and what they suggest. 25:00 – 30:00 The 14th anomaly: rotation-axis alignment: Geometry, probability estimates, and why this feature stands out. 30:00 – 35:00 Possible mechanisms for axis alignment: Assessment of natural processes versus alternative explanations. 35:00 – 40:00 Jet collimation and structure: Why the sunward jet remains narrow and persistent. 40:00 – 45:00 Implications for outgassing models: Where standard cometary physics succeeds or fails. 45:00 – 50:00 Natural versus non-natural scenarios: Clear comparison of competing hypotheses. 50:00 – 55:00 Future observations and missions: What additional data could resolve the debate. 55:00 – 60:00 Audience Q and A: Live questions with Avi Loeb. 60:00 – 65:00 Wrap-up and final thoughts: Synthesis of the evidence and implications for future research.

Yep, this is a big one and comedian and fan favorite Bill Schaefer is back on the show to go over it with us. Kal Penn was called up to the White House and that means Kutner had to die in a very sudden way.On that note, this episode comes with a big warning for suicide and self-harm. We have a lot of fun going over one of the most famous House episodes, but if you can't handle flippant talk about that heavy subject this is one to skip.We also talk about what Sea World is up to, what Meatloaf won't do for love, and so much more!

This powerful message takes us deep into Romans 8:26-30, confronting us with a truth we often resist: we are weak. In a culture obsessed with self-improvement, organizational planners, and New Year's resolutions, we're reminded that genuine transformation doesn't come from our strength but from our surrender. The passage reveals that the Holy Spirit intercedes for us when we don't even have words to pray, when life feels insurmountable, and when our weakness is most evident. What's revolutionary here is the understanding that God's ways are not our ways—His plan for salvation didn't involve us climbing up to Him through good works or self-effort, but Him descending to us in the form of a baby in a manger. The sermon challenges our consumer Christianity, where we want church on our terms, faith that's comfortable, and a God who serves our agenda. Instead, we're called to embrace the stunning reality of foreknowledge and predestination—not as scary theological concepts, but as the beautiful truth that before time began, God knew us, called us, justified us, and will glorify us. This Christmas season, we're invited to shift from asking 'What can God do for me?' to 'What does God want to do through me?' The missionary story woven throughout reminds us that this isn't about our comfort zone—it's about conforming to the image of Christ and allowing His purposes to become our priority.**Sermon Notes:****Introduction:**- Speaker: Pastor Will from Hope.- Call for congregation to accommodate latecomers by scooting in.- Announcement about children's events: CentraKid and Fuge camps.- Mission update from Steve and Kim Bradley, missionaries in Malawi, highlighting their work, challenges, and the opportunity to build a preschool to reach Muslim communities.- Church's support: $50,000 pledged for the school development.**Main Sermon - Romans 8:26-30:**- **Theme: Weakness and God's Sovereignty** - Our Weakness:   - We are inherently weak and live in a world obsessed with self-fixation.  - As believers, we experience tension between faith and sin.  - We struggle in knowing how to pray; the Holy Spirit intercedes for us.- **Intercession of the Holy Spirit:** - The Spirit helps in our prayers, understanding our hearts beyond words. - Highlights the need for prayer aligned with God's will, not personal desires.- **God's Sovereignty:** - Emphasis on Romans 8:28 – Misinterpretation risks focusing on personal benefit rather than God's purpose. - Illustration using God's plan for Jesus' birth demonstrates His ways are superior to human understanding.- **Concept of Foreknowledge and Predestination:** - Foreknowledge and predestination discussed as concepts that can be challenging but are crucial for understanding God's sovereignty. - Explanation that God knew who would choose Him and orchestrated a plan accordingly. - Focus on being conformed to the image of Christ through justification and glorification.**Practical Applications:**1. **Recognize Weakness:** Accept and embrace your weakness as a believer. Depend on the Holy Spirit for guidance and strength.2. **Align Desires with God's Will:** Regularly check if your desires align with God's purpose. Focus on serving His kingdom rather than personal dreams.3. **Trust in God's Plan:** Have faith that God's plans are higher than your own, especially in challenges.4. **Be Open to God's Calling:** Reflect on where God might be calling you to serve more significantly, whether locally or abroad.**Discussion Questions:**1. What are some recent situations where you felt your personal weakness, and how did you witness the Holy Spirit's help?2. How can Romans 8:28 be misinterpreted in today's Christian culture? In what ways can it be correctly applied?3. How can you ensure your prayers and desires are in alignment with God's will rather than personal wants?4. Discuss a time when you saw God's plan work out differently and better than what you had planned. What did it teach you?The sermon underscores the importance of focusing on God's sovereignty and the Holy Spirit's work in aiding believers through weaknesses, aligning with divine purposes over personal aspirations.

Dr. Joe Tafur and Natasha Pentin spoke with Edward James, Ph.D., and Joachim Keppler, Ph.D. Edward brings expertise across pharmacology, psychedelic compounds, and biochemistry. Joachim is a quantum field theory physicist, devoted to the study of consciousness and uncovering its fundamental mechanisms. With their colleagues, they published a paper together in 2022 about DMT, ayahuasca plant medicine, and human consciousness.We had many messages asking for an episode about quantum physics…so here it is! We discuss two different theories of consciousness: the biological processes model that is explained by biological or neurophysiological processes versus the idea that the universe is pervaded by an ubiquitous field of consciousness (which corresponds with the laws of physics). In other words, viewing the brain as a filter, and that it can somehow couple with the larger consciousness. Edward and Joachim explain how related work may eventually lead to further understanding of the therapeutic benefits of psychedelic medicines.Thanks for listening!

Send us a messageA long weekend can feel like three lives in one: a road trip for a high school tournament, another haul to a gender reveal, and finally that first cold beer in weeks. From there we open the floodgates—talking wind gusts hitting triple digits, jackknifed semis, and the simple wisdom of staying off the highway when the weather wants to win. Then we hit a nerve: the $160 sherpa‑lined jacket that used to be half that price, why malls feel empty, and how holiday gifting collides with rent, car payments, and the urge to buy now instead of waiting for a deal.Pop culture gets spicy fast. We call out the rush to judge the new Supergirl movie based on a 40‑second trailer, dig into Woman of Tomorrow roots, and push back on the lazy “it's just Guardians in a cape” line. Canon heads will love the crypto vs Streaky debate, while rumor fans get fresh talk on Lobo with Jason Momoa, a multiverse twist with Robert Downey Jr. as Doom, and Spider‑Man resets that risk repeating old villains. Our take: let the full story land before you torch it, and ask for bolder antagonists if you want fresher stakes.We also zoom out on media trust. A Diddy documentary raises questions about footage rights, timelines, and how receipts get weaponized. A viral Trump photo shows how a pageant snapshot can be reframed and spread before context catches up. To balance the heat, we spotlight a jaw‑dropping mentalism clip—not as proof of magic, but as a masterclass in attention and suggestion. Through every thread—shopping, storms, streaming, scandals—the message holds: pause first, verify, and choose with care.Tap play for real talk, sharp laughs, and a few fun facts you'll want to steal.

For the past seven years, Mark has studied the Amazon algorithm to understand how it works and how we can work along with it to rank products. He has traveled the world to speak and share these techniques with the largest sellers worldwide. Mark's personal background is marketing and branding. Having brands of his own, along with his Amazon knowledge working under the nine figure brand, combining those together is how House of arms was born. Where Mark can help is to optimize your products and brand not only for the outside world, but mainly on Amazon, which is its own ecosystem in itself. So welcome to the podcast, Mark.Mark 00:00:41  Thank you very much. Yeah. Good morning. How are you?Josh 00:00:44  Hey, I'm doing great. Thanks again for joining me. And I apologize for my voice, both to the listeners and to yourself. I lost my voice coaching, hockey practice and yelling, shouting at the kids. because there's multiple teams on the ice. So you have to speak relatively loud.Josh 00:01:03  And, it did my voice in, that's for sure. So I apologize about that.Mark 00:01:07  Oh, good. Yeah. No worries.Josh 00:01:09  Mark, you've studied the algorithm for seven years. You I would argue you would consider yourself an expert when it comes to ranking products on Amazon. So tell us, you know, can you break down the Amazon algorithm to our listeners and tell us what you are seeing that Amazon cares about when it comes to ranking products today?Mark 00:01:31  So if you have another six hours, I could do well, I could go in depth. no. But so yeah, there's a lot I mean, well, first of all, a lot of things change within the Amazon algorithm. Many, many things like it's always changing, evolving and growing and it's there's so much to it. But what I always like to break it down and explain to people in a very simple way is that every little thing that the shopper does, Amazon takes into account, and what that means is every little thing from how you clicked and how you even got.Mark 00:02:02  How you even got to Amazon, you know, backing up all the way there, how you got to Amazon, what keyword you search when you got there, how long like every little point in detail. So really. So we we really broke it down and saw okay. So someone goes on the listing onto Amazon. Where do they come from. Do they come from a Facebook ad. Do they come from a referral from let's say, WhatsApp from their friend? and then once they once they're on Amazon, what what keyword do they type in? Once they type in the keyword, how long were they on the results page for? Once you're on the results page, what listings did they click? So meaning did they just click on yours and others? Do they go on others and then yours? Or was it just yours now and on the listing. Right. So let's say I type in sports water bottle and I click on your listing. Now how long are you on the listing for. Is it just you saw it and you add it to cart right away and you're done.Mark 00:02:51  It was an instant purchase. or was it something that you engaged with the listing. So Amazon looks if they engage with the listing and they looked at the reviews and the pictures and they really invested five minutes under the listing to look at it and do everything and added it to cart. That's where you're going to get the success because Amazon sees that you really invest the time. So all these small little details app is what Amazon takes into account with their algorithm. And that's what gives you kind of like the power. But there's a lot obviously a lot more to it. But just just to break it down for you on kind of what it insists.Josh 00:03:26  Yeah, I love that. Let's go back to. You mentioned launching your product first via FBM, and that you're saying that the honeymoon period doesn't really start until it goes into FBA. So my question with that is, you know, I guess you have data to back that up. Is that true?Mark 00:03:45  Yeah, we've tested it out and we've saw that once it hits FBA and it's available to be shipped, then that's when Amazon's going to start pushing your listing.Mark 00:03:53  Right now if it's FBM they're not going to push your listing. They want they want to show the results which are the people that they can click and order right now.

Send us a textI am very cautious about predictions.  All the pundits are doing those, plus most of them seem to be chasing headines.  I have made an exception in this case, because I think Trump has peaked and is on his decline.  Am I just doing what others are doing and over-reading headlines?  Maybe.  But I think I see something worth noting. You are welcome to spend 29 minutes see if you agree. Feedback welcome.  Rstock@Umich.edu 

In this solo December episode, I continue a month-long series dedicated to educating parents about the real dangers our kids face online. After last week's story about Adam Tate, today I share two more real cases—one involving sextortion and another involving swatting—that every parent needs to understand. These aren't rare events. They're happening quickly, quietly, and often right under our noses while our kids sit in their bedrooms playing games like Roblox, Fortnite, and more.   You'll hear the heartbreaking story of 17-year-old Ryan Lass from San Jose, who took his own life within hours of being extorted by an overseas criminal network. Then we break down the tragic case of Andrew Finch, a 28-year-old father of two who was killed after a swatting prank triggered a full SWAT response to the wrong house. Both stories highlight how dangerous the digital world has become—and why we must be proactive, aware, and deeply involved in protecting our kids' online lives.     Timeline Summary: [0:00] Introduction [1:02] Why December episodes are focused on online safety and protecting kids. [1:50] Recap of last week's episode about Adam Tate and the Sean Ryan interview. [2:32] Why sinister online activity is escalating and why parents must stay informed. [3:02] Introducing two new stories: a sextortion case and a swatting case. [3:48] Explanation of "swatting" and why even young kids are now doing it. [4:48] Beginning Ryan Lass's story — a high school senior extorted online. [5:38] How a predator posed as a woman and launched a rapid blackmail attack. [6:07] FBI findings and identification of the international criminal ring. [7:41] Why Ryan's case matters: he was targeted, not reckless. [8:37] How modern predators manipulate teens using panic and pressure. [9:02] Parents' blind spots about who kids are connected to online. [10:17] Reminder that kids are connected to global predators—not just friends. [11:03] Introduction to Andrew Finch's swatting case. [12:06] The false 911 call describing a violent hostage situation. [12:57] How Andrew Finch was shot despite having no involvement. [14:01] Why swatting is deadly—and how it grew out of gaming communities. [15:39] The seriousness of online conflict and its real-world consequences. [16:33] How swatting and predator activity now infiltrate gaming platforms. [16:54] Why Bark is one of the most effective tools for monitoring kids' devices. [17:19] The need for proactive online supervision—like helmets for digital life. [18:18] A recent incident with my own son that Bark helped me catch early. [19:09] The urgency of protecting our kids from online predators. [19:32] Directing listeners to the show notes and resources at thedadedge.com/1412. [20:10] Additional resources including PenTester, YouTube links, and conversation guides. [20:27] Free "Conversations for the Car" PDF for kids ages 5–18. [20:45] Encouragement for parents: we fight this fight together.       Five Key Takeaways Predators are organized, trained, and global. Kids on gaming systems are interacting with far more than just "friends."  Sextortion happens extremely fast. In Ryan's case, the window from first contact to death was only hours.  Swatting is no longer just a gaming prank—it's deadly. The Andrew Finch tragedy shows how quickly it can turn fatal.  Parents must stay vigilant, informed, and engaged. Safety now requires ongoing conversations and digital monitoring.  Tools like Bark can save lives. Monitoring texts, DMs, and online chats can catch danger long before it escalates.      Links & Resources Mentioned   Bark Monitoring for Families: https://thedadedge.com/bark Ryan Montgomery Episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2GPd36fFPuLsBSlZp6WUvc?si=BPYACSoWRRin9MatFHMGbg Facebook Story Referenced in Episode: https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=32876961955250751&id=100000911118224&mibextid=wwXIfr&rdid=nnmVU8LFIdec2oLO# PenTester (Ryan Montgomery's Cybersecurity Site): https://pentester.com/ Ryan Montgomery's YouTube Channel (@0dayCTF): https://www.youtube.com/@0dayCTF NBC Bay Area News — Sextortion Case of San Jose Teen: https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/4-arrested-sextortion-san-jose-teen-suicide/3865298/?utm_source=chatgpt.com ABC News — Swatting Incident Leading to Andrew Finch's Death: https://abcnews.go.com/US/la-man-arrested-swatting-incident-led-police-killing/story?id=52057251&utm_source=chatgpt.com Podcast Episode Shownotes: http://thedadedge.com/1412   Closing Remark If this episode helped open your eyes to the realities our kids face online, please take a moment to rate, review, follow, and share the show.
