In this episode, Brian sits down with prolific Australian author and independent researcher George Mitrovic, whose staggering body of work spans more than 140 published books since 2012. George opens up about his lifelong fascination with mysteries and the unconventional research methods that have shaped his career.From childhood curiosity to a vast personal archive of data, George shares how his passion led him deep into the study of Bigfoot and other unexplained phenomena. He takes listeners inside some of the most compelling Bigfoot sightings in his collection—including lesser-known international reports and the intriguing “Whistling Patty” encounter.Throughout the conversation, George emphasizes the importance of following the evidence, resisting preconceived ideas, and letting data build the foundation of any hypothesis. The discussion expands beyond traditional cryptozoology into the cutting edge of theory, touching on quantum physics, multiverse possibilities, and how these concepts might intersect with the Bigfoot mystery.George also highlights the breadth of his published work, particularly his research on Bigfoot, giants, and global cryptid traditions.Get George's BookGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

In this special episode, we welcome back Lindsay Whorton, President of the Holdsworth Center, to discuss her new book, A New School Leadership Architecture: A Four-Level Framework for Reimagining Roles. We dive into why the current model for school leadership is unsustainable and explore a new framework for building capacity and driving results in Texas public schools and beyond. The Holdsworth Center is a nonprofit focused on building and strengthening leaders for Texas public schools. Texas educates 10% of the nation's children, and the challenges faced there—like high teacher turnover and the increased complexity of the principal and superintendent roles—reflect national trends. Lindsay explains that we have created leadership roles that are "pretty close to impossible" for an average person. A core mistake is the assumption that if educators simply work harder and build the right skills, everything will be fine. We argue that the old model of the principal as the single "hero" responsible for the development of all 30-40 teachers must evolve. Lindsay's framework offers a way to diagnose and restructure leadership roles to create shared leadership and meaningful stepping stones for development. It's about getting clear on the different leadership jobs and how they relate, moving away from an unhelpful hierarchy and toward an ethos of sharing power. Key Takeaways: The Impossible Job: The current principal role, where one person is the primary developer for an entire staff of 30-40+ teachers, is unsustainable, especially with new teachers entering the profession with limited preparation. The Four-Level Framework: The book outlines a four-level architecture—Team Member, Team Leader, Bridge Leader, and School Leader (Principal)—each with a unique leadership mission for building capacity and delivering results . The Bridge Leader: This key middle layer is vital for coaching Team Leaders, ensuring coherence, and connecting the different levels of the school. It also creates meaningful, smaller-jump development opportunities for future principals. A Shift in Identity: Moving into new leadership roles requires not just new skills and time allocation but a fundamental shift in professional identity, often requiring leaders to "release control" and trust their colleagues. AI and the Human Core: As technology changes the future of work, cultivating the "most human" skills—like recognizing the beautiful, feeling confident, and building relational capacity—becomes even more critical in education. Why You Should Listen: If you work in education, you understand the increasing pressure on school leaders and teachers. This conversation offers a practical, thoughtful, and evidence-based way to rethink your school's operating structure, unlock the untapped leadership potential (the "stranded brilliance" we discuss) in your building, and create a system where success doesn't depend on "superheroes". We provide a blueprint for supporting your current staff while developing the next generation of resilient school leaders.

Episode 206: Street Medicine and Harm Reduction.  Mohammed Wase (medical student) and Dr. Singh describe what it is like to provide health care on the streets. They share their personal experiences working in a street medicine team. They describe the practice of harm reduction and emphasize the importance of respecting autonomy and being adaptable in street medicine. Written by Mohamed Wase, MSIV, American University of the Caribbean. Editing by Hector Arreaza, MD. Hosted by Harnek Singh, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Introduction Dr. Singh: Welcome to another episode of our podcast, my name is Dr. Harnek Singh, faculty in the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program. Today we have prepared a great episode about street medicine, a field that has grown a lot during the last decade and continues to grow now. We are joined by a guest who is passionate about this topic. Wase, please introduce yourself.Wase: Hello everyone, my name is Mohammed, many know me as Wasé, I am a 4th year medical student from the American University of the Caribbean. Today we're diving into a topic that sits at the intersection of medicine, compassion, and public health — Street Medicine and Harm Reduction. We're going to step outside with this episode, literally, away from the clinic and hospital, to explore more about what care looks like in the streets. Historic background: How did street medicine start?Wase: The roots of Street Medicine in the United States go back to Dr. Jim Withers in Pittsburgh in the 1990s, who literally began by dressing as a homeless person and providing care on the streets to build trust. His efforts have shaped street medicine to what it is today. It combines primary care, mental health, and social support. Dr. Singh: For family physicians, this model aligns perfectly with our holistic approach. We don't just treat diseases; we treat people in context — their environment, their challenges, their stories. What is the main population seen by a street medicine team?Wase: This patient population includes those struggling with homelessness, housing insecurity, food insecurity, substance use disorders; with patients being preoccupied on where they will sleep that night or when their next meal comes, they do not have the luxury of prioritizing their health. Street Medicine is a powerful outreach program to bring care to them in order to provide equitable care within our community. Dr. Singh: How is street medicine different than caring for patients in the clinic?Wase: Working on the street means we have to think differently about what healthcare looks like — and that's whereharm reductioncomes in.What is Harm Reduction?Wase: Harm reduction is a public health philosophy that focuses on reducing the negative consequences of high-risk behaviors, rather than demanding complete abstinence.Dr. Singh: Preventive care is the backbone of family medicine. For example, we keep up with the USPSTF guidelines and make sure our patients are up to date with their screenings. But what does that look like in the street medicine setting? Wase: In practice, that might mean:-needle exchange program: Offering clean syringes to prevent HIV transmission and removing used needles-distributing naloxone to prevent overdose deaths-offering fentanyl test-strips to prevent use of substances that are unknowingly laced with fentanylDr. Singh: Also:-providing condoms to prevent sexually transmitted infections-providing wound care to prevent further spread of infectionWase: Yes, the idea is: people are going to engage in risky behaviors whether or not we approve of it, so let's meet them with compassion, tools, and trust instead of judgment. Harm reduction also applies beyond substance use; think about safer sex education, or even diabetic foot care among people who can't refrigerate insulin or change shoes daily. It's all about meeting people where they areandkeeping them alive and engaged in care. Planning in Street Medicine: Wase: It takes careful disposition planning and aftercare for this population. Instead of the traditional outpatient setting where we can place referrals and expect our patients to follow through with them. On street medicine, for follow up visits it requires arranging transportation, finding a pharmacy close in proximity, educating and counseling on medication adherence and how to make it, and making sure they have some sort of shelter to get by. Dr. Singh: Let's describe a typical street med encounter.Wase: A typical Street Medicine encounter might look like this: a small team — usually a physician, nurse, social worker, and sometimes a peer advocate — goes out with backpacks of supplies. They might start with wound care, blood pressure checks, or even medication refills. But what's just as important is the relationship-building. Sometimes, the first visit isn't about medicine at all — it's about showing up consistently.Over time, that trust opens the door for conversations about addiction treatment, mental health, and preventive care. For example, in some California Street Medicine programs, teams are treating chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and hepatitis C, right where patients live with the same evidence-based care we'd give in a clinic. One of my favorite quotes from Street Medicine teams is: “We're not bringing people to healthcare; we're bringing healthcare to people.”Challenges in Street Medicine:Wase: The populations that you will encounter include many people who will often downplay their own health concerns and prior diagnoses. Unfortunately, this is usually from countless months or years of feeling neglected by our healthcare system. Some may even express distrust in our healthcare system and healthcare providers. Patient will, at times, be apprehensive to receive care or trust you enough to tell their story. Dr. Singh: Interviewing patients is a critical aspect of providing equitable care on the streets. It is always important to offer support and medical care, even if the patient denies it, always reassure that your street medicine clinic will be around every week and ready for them when they would like to seek care. Wase: Respecting patient autonomy is an utmost concern as well. Another element of interviewing to consider is to invite new ideas and information; instead of lecturing patients about taking medications on time or telling them they need to stop doing drugs—simply asking a patient “would you like to know more about how we can help you stop using opioids?” respects their choice but can also spark new ideas for them to consider. Singh: Adaptability is another key component to exceling patient care in street medicine. Like, performing physical exams on park benches or in the back of a minivan. Always doing good with our care but also respecting their autonomy is crucial in building a trust that these patients once lost with our system. Wase: Each patient has their own timeline, but we as providers should always assure them that our door is always open for them when they are ready to seek care. Conclusion.Wase: So, to wrap up — Street Medicine and harm reduction remind us that healthcare isn't just about hospitals and clinics. It's about relationships, trust, and dignity.Every patient deserves care, no matter where they sleep at night.If you're a resident or student listening, I encourage you to seek out these experiences — volunteer with Street Medicine teams, learn from harm reduction workers, and let it shape how you practice medicine. Thank you for listening to this episode of the Rio Bravo qWeek podcast. I'm Mohammed — and I hope this conversation inspires you to meet patients where they are and walk with them on their journey to health.Dr. Singh: If you liked this episode, share it with a friend or a colleague.

Send us a textWe look at the emerging research linking ultramarathoning to a possible increased risk of colorectal cancer, particularly in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The discussion highlights the importance of hydration, nutrition, and recovery strategies for endurance athletes. Vitamin D and gut health also play an important role in decreasing risks. Takeaways-- Some research suggests that Ultramarathoning may increase the risk of colorectal cancer.- Hydration and nutrition are critical for endurance athletes.- Vitamin D levels should be regularly assessed, especially in athletes.- The gut microbiome can change with extreme endurance activities.- Recovery is essential for preventing long-term damage in athletes.- Training the gut to tolerate nutrition is important for performance.- Repeated extreme endurance events can lead to gut ischemia (lack of blood flow).- Nutrient deficiencies can exacerbate health risks in athletes with IBD.- A tailored approach to nutrition is necessary for athletes with IBD.- Understanding the mechanisms behind gut health can inform better training practices.Chapters:00:00- Introduction to Ultrarunning and Colon Cancer Risk02:37- Exploring the Connection Between Endurance and Colorectal Cancer05:17- The Role of Hydration and Nutrition in Endurance Sports08:07- Nutritional Considerations for Athletes with IBD10:48- The Importance of Vitamin D in Athletic Performance13:38- Understanding the Mechanisms of Gut Damage in Endurance Athletes16:23- The Impact of Recovery on Gut Health19:05- Conclusions and Recommendations for Athletes with IBDFollow us on instagram @crohns_and_colitis_dietitiansFollow us on youtube @thecrohnscolitisdietitiansWe love helping provide quality content on IBD nutrition and making it more accessible to all through our podcast, instagram and youtube channel.

In this episode, historian Dr. Chris Smith discusses the Coventry Blitz, marking its 85th anniversary. He explores the myths surrounding the event, particularly the narrative that Churchill sacrificed Coventry to protect intelligence secrets. The conversation delves into the scale of the bombing, the city's industrial significance, the immediate aftermath, and the role of propaganda. Smith also highlights the reconstruction efforts and the lasting legacy of the Blitz in Coventry's identity, emphasizing themes of resilience and reconciliation. Note: I'm aware of the technical problems with the guest's video - unfortunately, there is no way to fix it, but the audio is fine. Also, there will not be a podcast next week due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Links Chris Smith at Coventry University "The Last Cambridge Spy: John Cairncross, Bletchley Codebreaker and Soviet Double Agent" by Chris Smith Official Coventry Cathedral website: coventrycathedral.org.uk Hitler's Btlitz's on Britain (Article) Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways The Coventry Blitz is framed by both historical and modern narratives. Myths surrounding the Blitz, particularly about Churchill, persist despite being debunked. The bombing raid on Coventry was one of the largest of the war at that time. Coventry's industrial significance made it a strategic target during WWII. The aftermath of the bombing revealed a complex public reaction, not just unity. Propaganda played a crucial role in shaping public perception of the Blitz. The reconstruction of Coventry was influenced by pre-war modernization plans. The new cathedral symbolizes peace and reconciliation after the war. Coventry's identity is deeply tied to the events of the Blitz. Commemoration of the Blitz remains significant in Coventry's cultural memory. Soundbites Here are 10 interesting soundbites from the Coventry Blitz podcast: On the scale of the raid: "They dropped something in the region of 30,000 incendiary bombs, 500 tons of high explosives and 50 landmines. They even used some brand new types of explosive that they hadn't really been using to that point. It's a really, really massive raid by the standards of the war to that point." On the Churchill Ultra myth: "There's no evidence that Churchill made a decision to sacrifice Coventry. It's an absolute fantasy which basically has to rely upon either Churchill being the most evil man who has ever existed or the most incompetent man who has ever existed." On strategic bombing's true purpose: "One of the points of strategic bombing is terror, is to cause terror amongst the citizens... the British actually have a really nasty euphemism for this, which was to 'dehouse people' as a result of bombing. And that's how they basically described killing citizens and making other citizens homeless." On Coventry's industrial importance: "Coventry is hugely important industrially to Britain's war effort... by the time we get into the 20th century, bicycle manufacturing, the auto industry, the car industry becomes very important to Coventry, which makes it both wealthy and a ripe target." On the cathedral's symbolism: "They didn't knock it down. They built a new cathedral right next to it. So if any of your listeners ever visit Coventry, you can actually walk around the ruins of the old cathedral... It's a really powerful testament to resilience." On why the myth persists: "The myth of Churchill sacrificing Coventry persists because it plays into this very British, post-war self-image of stoic heroism and difficult choices. It makes for a better story than the truth, which is that sometimes intelligence fails and terrible things happen." On comparing bombing campaigns: "In Dresden, over 22,000 people are killed. The US conventional bombing of Tokyo kills over 100,000 people. So by those standards, what we're talking about in Coventry is relatively light, but by the context of what's happening in Britain, it's extremely serious." On "Keep Calm and Carry On": "These posters were wildly unpopular. They're really patronizing. They never really get used in the Second World War—they mostly just stay in a warehouse and are pulped for paper. But now they've taken on this massive life... You cannot go to London without seeing them, but you wouldn't have seen that in the Second World War at all." On Coventry's transformation: "Coventry becomes a symbol of reconciliation and peace after the war, forging connections with other bombed cities including Dresden. It's this remarkable transformation from devastation to representing hope and international cooperation." On the raid's duration: "The raid begins around seven o'clock in the evening, 10 past seven, and it lasts for a good 11 hours. The all-clear isn't actually announced until 6:16 the following morning. Eleven hours of continuous bombing—imagine living through that."

Welcome to the DMF.I'm Justin Younts, and in this episode, Sara Alessandrini takes us inside the reckless, bold decisions that pushed her to create her documentary.For Sara, the journey began in 2020, at the height of her growing frustration with the film industry — particularly the way safety protocols were handled as theaters attempted to reopen during the pandemic. Watching parts of the industry prioritize visibility and fame over the safety of audiences deeply disturbed her, and it became the spark that ignited a much larger mission.Sara explains how this moment opened her eyes to the broader issues simmering beneath the surface: the accusations leveled at public figures without due process, the willingness of society to latch onto narratives without questioning them, and the way difficult conversations were being silenced. Determined to understand the truth, she connected with a community of supporters who shared her concerns, and together they set out to document what others refused to talk about.Her film became more than a project — it became an investigation into transparency, accountability, and the cultural forces that shape public perception.In this episode, Sara reflects on the challenges she faced, the unexpected resistance she encountered, and the insights she gained along the way. Join us as she unpacks the complexities of filmmaking, the societal issues intertwined with it, and what she discovered while daring to question the stories we're told.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:08 - Decision to Make a Documentary00:00:23 - Moving to New York and Starting a Business00:01:20 - Frustration with the Movie Industry00:02:16 - Importance of Safety and Business Ethics00:06:12 - Experience with Workplace Complaints00:07:50 - The Danger of 'I'm Offended'00:09:35 - The Importance of Due Process00:14:04 - Making the Documentary00:15:16 - Exploring the Concept of Love and Hate in Society00:16:17 - Finding a Community of Cuomo Supporters00:16:54 - Social Media Usage and Its Impact00:18:18 - The Decision to Make a Documentary00:20:37 - The Influence of Social Movements and Political Narratives00:22:23 - The Role and Influence of Social Media Platforms00:26:23 - The Importance of Education in Democracy00:26:48 - The Shift from Policy to Personality in PoliticsCheck out Sara's website, where you can learn more about the documentary miniseries and find links to watch it! https://www.thisiswhatnewyorkerssay.com https://www.instagram.com/lasava.alessandrini/

Capitol Hill Baptist Church, located just blocks away from the center of American power, has a rich 150-year history. Its members have participated in significant world events, advocated for religious freedoms, and spoken out against the moral failings of the times. There's no doubt this church has had a unique impact on evangelicalism from a significant location. But these lively characters and their unique experiences only tell part of this engaging narrative. Through real-life stories, A Light on the Hill reveals how God works through church bodies and remains faithful during times of uncertainty. Exploring themes such as pastoral ministry, faithfulness, courage, racial reconciliation, church and politics, and more, this book will help readers see the long-term effects of faithful church ministries. Ultimately they will be encouraged to invest in a local church and preserve the gospel for the next generation. I'm delighted to have the book's author, Caleb Morell on the program today. Caleb Morell (MDiv, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) is an assistant pastor at Capitol Hill Baptist Church and a doctoral student in historical theology at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He lives with his wife and three children on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. Until next time, may God bless you.

This episode is an invitation into the kind of womanhood most of us were never shown how to grow into. The woman who is soft without collapsing, powerful without hardening, and deeply connected to the wisdom God wove into her body, her lineage, and her love life. You'll step into the world of feminine maturity — the kind that rewrites patterns, restores emotional safety, and calls in a love that feels honest, holy, and deeply human.This is where womb intelligence meets relational healing. Where old beliefs unclench. Where your softness becomes strength. Where your body becomes a sanctuary again.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why nurturing your womb is essential for emotional balance, physical well-being, and deeper self-connection.• How to identify and unlearn limiting relationship beliefs that block intimacy and healthy love.• The role of vulnerability and emotional safety in creating deeper communication with your partner.• Practical ways to reconnect with your womb and invite more peace, clarity, and softness into your life.• How your relationship with God influences your femininity, your identity, and how you relate to men.Golden Nuggets From This Episode:✨ “She went the extra mile to reach out, and that simple act touched my heart in a way I'll never forget.”Small gestures can carry profound emotional impact. When someone reaches out with genuine care, it reminds you that love often lives in the simplest moments of connection.✨ “Exploring polarity taught me a lot, but I realized it can sometimes feel flat and one-dimensional.”Polarity can be exciting, but without emotional depth and authenticity, it can become limiting. True connection requires more than roles — it needs real presence and truth.✨ “Everything in my life shifted the moment I finally released that limiting belief.”✨ “My womb became the central piece of my evolution — the epicenter of my transformation.”✨ “Our cycle is a mirror of our physical health and our relational well-being.”Your menstrual cycle reflects more than biology — it shows emotional patterns, stress levels, and relational harmony. Paying attention to it helps you understand your inner world.✨ “The womb holds the blueprint of feminine creational coding.”✨ “The cervix, heart, and throat move together through one powerful energetic pathway.”✨ “The most impactful feminine communication comes from being deeply feelable.”Feminine expression is strongest when it's authentic and embodied. When you allow your emotions to be felt, you create intimacy and connection without force.✨ “Healing one relationship can recalibrate your entire inner world.”Every relationship is a mirror. When you repair or transform one connection — even with yourself — it shifts your patterns, your energy, and the way you love everywhere else.Connect More with :IG: juliet__tangWebsite: https://juliettang.mykajabi.com/feminine-codexMore Lexy from Heart Snuggles:Soft Girl Season {Instant Access Course}: https://alive-to-enjoy.circle.so/checkout/soft-girl-seasonEmail: lexy@alivetoenjoy.comDating + Relationship Coaching - https://iamlexydavis.com/Instagram: Alivetoenjoy & Heart SnugglesTimestamps from episode:01:07 - Meet Juliet: Midwifing Women01:50 - Acts of Kindness: Support in Grief02:59 - Unlearning Relationship Beliefs07:06 - The Journey into Womb Work12:21 - Connecting with the Womb18:46 - The Womb as a Central Organ21:22 - Embodiment and Relationships27:03 - Navigating Triggers in Relationships30:52 - Soft Girl Season Ad30:56 - Effective Feminine Communication38:03 - Inspiring the Masculine47:54 - The Spiral of Consciousness

We've been using Eight Sleep at the Kummer house for years, and in many ways it's been an incredible tool. The pod keeps the bed at exactly the right temperature through hot Georgia nights; lets us set different temperatures for falling asleep, the first half of the night, the second half, and waking up; and it tracks sleep, HRV, heart rate, respiratory rate, and even snoring. From a comfort and data perspective, we've genuinely loved a lot of what it can do. This episode isn't an endorsement, though. It's about why I've grown increasingly frustrated with Eight Sleep's dependence on constant WiFi and a stable internet connection.  Here's the bottom line: if you turn off your home's WiFi at night – as we do, to avoid unnecessary EMF exposure – the system basically breaks. Cooling stops, you can't change the temperature, and if the adjustable base is up, you can't even put it back down.  But even if you're not concerned about EMF exposure, the system's reliance on an internet connection is a major problem. For example, during recent internet and AWS outages, users couldn't control their beds at all – which is absurd for a product that's supposed to improve sleep. Eight Sleep's response to the AWS outage was to roll out a "backup mode" that lets the app talk to the pod over Bluetooth when cloud systems are down. That might help with outages, but it doesn't address the underlying issue that a sleep and health company keeps adding more wireless components around your bed. The latest generation even adds speakers and requires more communication between the base and the hub. We're in the middle of a move and I've decided we'll rip all of that out and stop using it. I still believe bed cooling is incredibly helpful in a modern, sealed house where airflow is limited, and I'll keep recommending the idea of bed cooling. But I'd rather use a simpler solution with less EMF exposure, even if that means losing automation, app control, and detailed sleep tracking. In the episode I talk through that decision, why I can't comfortably recommend Eight Sleep anymore, and what I'm looking for in a replacement. I also share some lower-tech levers we're already pulling — like better mattress and sheet materials — and ask you to share what's worked for you, whether that's another cooling system, smarter use of windows, or just a more breathable sleep setup.

What does it take to build a team that consistently performs at a high level? In this episode, Kevin sits down with Dr. Vanessa Druskat to explore what emotionally intelligent teams look like and how leaders can foster them. Vanessa introduces the concept of "team emotional intelligence" and explains why team culture, not just individual skills or personalities, is often the key differentiator between average and high-performing teams. She shares her practical three-part model, based on nine team norms, that top teams use to create environments of trust, psychological safety, and accountability. Vanessa also discusses why emotionally intelligent teams are fundamentally about how people interact, not just how they feel. She reveals what leaders should do in the first meeting of a new team to set the tone for long-term performance, and why nonverbal behaviors and small habits matter more than you think.

Ever wonder if you truly have enough to retire, or if your long-term plans are actually achievable? This week, we dive deep with Claudia, a bright, resourceful, and wonderfully human individual who, despite a significant net worth, finds herself grappling with the emotional side of financial independence. We tackle her core question: should 60% of her portfolio be in fixed index annuities? But as always, we dig beyond the numbers to uncover the real questions: What life does she truly want to live, and what's holding her back from embracing it?

Watch us on YouTube!Ed and Paul dive deep into OpenAI's massive long-term compute commitments and what it means for the company's economics, competitive positioning, and the broader AI arms race. They break down the tension between explosive revenue growth and unprecedented spending, the venture-logic behind “land-grab” behavior, and the risks these commitments pose to both vendors and competitors. In the second half, the conversation turns to Microsoft Teams, the EU's antitrust ruling, and the messy realities of bundling, competition, and predatory pricing — all served with classic Results Junkies candor, startup-operator logic, and more than a few cheeseburger metaphors. Topics & Timestamps 00:05 – Opening banter & travel logistics Ed and Paul compare time zones, Vegas scenery, and the eternal quest for a cheeseburger. 01:04 – Housekeeping Where to find Ed and Paul online; quick reminders for Results Junkies listeners. 01:20 – OpenAI's staggering compute spend Discussing the article outlining OpenAI's commitment to tens of billions in annual compute spending — and why the math seems wild compared to current revenue. 03:20 – Revenue vs. spend: does the model scale? How OpenAI reportedly moved from $1.7B to $12B annualized revenue in ~18 months — and whether that trajectory justifies a $60B/year commitment. 04:40 – Venture-style land-grab logic Why this looks like a classic “spend now, dominate later” strategy — just at an unprecedented scale. 06:00 – What happens if OpenAI misses the commitment?

Why downside risk isn't shared equally — especially when founders have little capital invested. 08:04 – Barriers to competition increase dramatically The larger these commitments get, the harder it becomes for smaller AI startups to realistically compete. 08:35 – Capacity lock-up strategies Why monopolizing vendor resources may be a conscious competitive tactic. 09:17 – Transition to Microsoft Teams & Slack's EU complaint Ed outlines the EU's ruling requiring Microsoft to unbundle Teams and adjust pricing. 10:58 – Is this really a European-only issue? A look at how bundling plays out in the US market as well. 11:36 – The role of precedent Can EU regulatory pressure spill into US practice? 12:22 – Government-mandated pricing: tricky territory Paul reacts to the idea of regulators dictating price gaps — and why it feels risky through a startup-operator lens. 14:01 – Is Teams effectively a “free burger”? Ed argues that bundling Teams at near-zero cost resembles predatory pricing designed to box out Slack. 15:49 – Revisiting antitrust basics Where's the line between aggressive competition and anti-competitive behavior? 17:33 – Airline analogy: when incumbents crush challengers Ed recounts how United Airlines once priced a regional competitor out of existence — and why the dynamic resembles the Microsoft–Slack situation. 18:59 – Could giants always “out-capacity” challengers?

Have you ever walked into a meeting and instantly started monitoring yourself—your volume, your facial expressions, your ideas—so you wouldn't come across as “too much”? Too intense, too direct, too emotional, too silly, too curious? In this episode of The Self-Loved ADHD Woman Way, we're unpacking the fear of being “too much” at work and how it quietly shapes the careers and nervous systems of ADHD women. I share stories about being labeled too loud, too playful, and too direct, how I moved from feeling “not enough” to over-functioning so no one would see my struggles, and the moment I realized “not enough” and “too much” actually come from the same place. We'll explore how childhood conditioning, masking, workplace expectations, and rejection sensitivity all intertwine—and why playing small has real emotional, physical, and career costs. You'll also learn practical ways to start reclaiming your authentic self at work in small, nervous-system-friendly steps. In this episode, we'll explore: • How ADHD women internalize messages about being “too much” • The paradox of feeling both “not enough” and “too much” • Over-functioning, masking, and the hidden cost of playing small • Why visibility feels so threatening in professional spaces • Nervous system tools to anchor yourself when you feel exposed • Small, doable ways to practice being more of who you really are at work If you're ready to go deeper into this work, my journal-book experience, The Self-Loved ADHD Woman Way: How to Stop Playing Small with ADHD, will help you explore the parts of you that feel too much or not enough—and begin to build a more self-loving, grounded relationship with yourself.

A Day in Disney's Animal Kingdom: A Complete Guide to Adventure and AweArriving early is one of the best ways to experience Animal Kingdom. As you walk across the bridge from the Oasis toward the Tree of Life, the park begins to reveal itself slowly. Birds call from hidden perches, foliage rustles, and the elaborate carvings on the Tree of Life seem to come alive in the morning light.If you plan to experience the attractions in Pandora, heading directly there is wise. The Wait time for Avatar Flight of Passage is shortest in the morning and gives you a breathtaking ride through the landscapes of Pandora. For a gentler but equally beautiful experience, Na'vi River Journey offers a serene boat ride through bioluminescent forests.Once the initial rush settles, the park becomes a haven for exploration. The Kilimanjaro Safaris ride is a must. It is one of the rare theme park experiences where no two rides are the same, thanks to the movement and moods of the animals. Morning to late morning is a great window, as many animals are active before the heat of the day.Exploring the walking trails, such as the Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail or the Maharajah Jungle Trek, brings a quieter appreciation of the park. These trails allow you to move at your own pace, read interpretive displays, and spend time watching animals in habitats that feel remarkably open and natural.If you are hungry, Animal Kingdom has some of Disney's best food options. Satu'li Canteen offers customizable bowls that are fresh and flavorful, while Flame Tree Barbecue delivers hearty classics with scenic seating by the water.By afternoon, it is time for some excitement. Expedition Everest is the park's signature roller coaster, blending speed, storytelling, and one infamous guardian of the mountain. Even if you do not usually seek out thrill rides, Everest has a unique charm that comes from its details and immersive queue.Nearby, Finding Nemo: The Big Blue and Beyond provides a beautifully staged musical break inside a cool, dark theater. For an even deeper dive into nature and culture, Festival of the Lion King remains one of Disney's most celebrated live productions, offering breathtaking vocals, acrobatics, and choreography inspired by the film.If heat or crowds rise, this is a great time to pause with a cold drink or take a slow walk through Discovery Island, stopping to look at the often-overlooked animal exhibits surrounding the Tree of Life.As sunset approaches, the park transforms. Pandora's glowing plants begin to pulse with color, and the atmosphere shifts from lively to enchanting. This is a perfect time to walk the pathways between the floating mountains, taking in the sounds and details that are easy to miss during the day.Dinner options like Tiffins or Yak and Yeti offer relaxing, flavorful meals to close out your exploration. Afterward, enjoy a final walk past the softly lit Tree of Life. The nighttime awakenings, featuring projection shows with animal themes, are subtle but magical, offering a reflective end to the day.A day in Animal Kingdom is not just about rides or shows but about stepping into a world that celebrates exploration, conservation, and imagination. It offers a pace unlike any other Disney park, encouraging you to slow down, observe, and connect with the stories and animals around you. Whether this is your first visit or your tenth, the park always finds new ways to surprise and inspire.

Patricia Wright, a pioneering primatologist who established the Centre ValBio research station in Madagascar, began her work there in 1986. As the person who first described the golden bamboo lemur (Hapalemur aureus) to Western science, her contributions led to the creation of Ranomafana National Park, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. She joins the Mongabay Newscast to discuss her conservation breakthroughs and the challenges the island faces during political instability and widespread poverty. Wright has participated in the making of numerous documentaries over the years, including Island of Lemurs: Madagascar, narrated by Morgan Freeman, and recently Ivohiboro: The Lost Forest and Surviving Alone: The Tale of Simone. In this conversation, she describes key findings from the latter two films, including how Ivohiboro, a montane tropical forest surrounded by desert, was unknown to Western science until Wright set foot there in 2016. Films like these are a crucial part of marketing conservation, wildlife and places such as Madagascar, Wright says. "It plays a pivotal role in the public understanding what the real issues are. I think the films [are] very important to get across the idea that there is a biodiversity crisis." Take a minute to let us know what you think of our audio reporting, which you can do here.
