Is it time to let it go?Whether it's a grudge, resentment, disappointment, or a story you've been telling yourself for years, holding on can take a tremendous amount of energy. It can impact your relationships, your peace of mind, and your ability to move forward.In this episode of The Almost Daily Podcast, I explore the idea of forgiveness, letting go, and the expectations we place on both ourselves and others. We discuss why people hold on to old hurts, how our stories become reinforced over time, and why seeing our own blind spots can be one of the most challenging and rewarding parts of personal growth.This isn't a conversation about excusing bad behavior or pretending difficult experiences didn't happen. It's a conversation about the freedom that can come from releasing what no longer serves you and deciding what kind of life you want to carry forward.Topics Covered:• Is it time to let go?• The emotional cost of holding grudges• Why forgiveness can be difficult• The stories we tell ourselves• Expectations and disappointment• Seeing your own blind spots• Extending an olive branch• Taking responsibility for your part• Letting go without reconciliation• Social media and reinforced beliefs• Choosing peace over being right• The value of self-reflectionThank you for listening to The Almost Daily Podcast.Sometimes the heaviest things we carry are the stories, resentments, and disappointments we've held onto for years. Letting go doesn't change the past, but it can change what you carry into the future.

HT2658 - Seducing The Eye of the Beholder Said another way, a way that can bypass the numb response to a cliché, art appreciation is an act of free will. Extending that thought even further, people look at your artwork because they've made a decision to do so in anticipation of some rewarding or beneficial experience.

Most of us spend our lives looking ahead—to the next goal, the next responsibility, or the next season. But what if wisdom begins by giving our full attention to the moment we're already living? In this thoughtful conversation, Skip sits down with longtime optometrist, respected leader, wife, mother, and lifelong student of wisdom, Dr. Jacquie Bowen. Through stories of family, leadership, adversity, and personal reinvention, Jacquie reminds us that presence, grace, and faithful attention aren't lofty ideals—they're daily decisions. She shares the deeply personal story of launching an optometry practice while navigating profound challenges as a young mother, reflects on decades of servant leadership, and offers practical wisdom for anyone stepping into a new season of life. Why This Episode Matters Whether you're approaching retirement, changing careers, becoming an empty nester, caring for aging parents, or simply sensing that life is inviting you into a new season, this conversation offers steady companionship and practical wisdom. Jacquie reminds us that identities evolve without erasing who we've been, grace is often the wisest response, and the next chapter begins not someday—but in the ordinary choices we make today.   In This Conversation Why presence is a daily practice—not a personality trait Learning to release old identities without losing yourself Saying "yes" to opportunities that shape a meaningful life Extending grace to yourself and others during difficult seasons Habits that help us become more attentive, intentional, and fully present   More about Our Wise Guest - Dr. Jacquie Bowen Jacquie Bowen is one of those rare people whose wisdom feels immediately livable. She calls Helena, MT her hometown but has been a Coloradan for well over 30 years. She is Doug's wife of 36 years, Ryley and Jadyn's mom, and "Grammy" to Phoebe and Daphne for a much shorter time. As a practicing optometrist and Immediate Past President of the American Optometric Association, Dr. Bowen takes her professional role very seriously, and she's enjoyed caring for her patients through many changes in health care. But she also takes her hobbies seriously as she anticipates and designs the "third third" of her life. She loves the ocean, history, singing, walking and traveling. A committed Christian, Jacquie looks forward to service and volunteerism outside her profession as well as prioritizing health and family. She joined us from her home in Greeley, Colorado, about an hour north of Denver.

Hi, I'm Jeff Ikler, host of the Getting Unstuck - Cultivating Curiosity podcast. This summer, I'm periodically releasing mini-episodes that, in under 10 minutes, dive into an evergreen idea from a previously broadcast episode. The content in these mini episodes is designed to be readily applicable to your life or work. This week's episode was inspired by a conversation with educator Dr. Deb Gustafson in December 2019, when she explained how, as a principal, she had applied Jim Collins' flywheel principle from Good to Great in her elementary school. The idea The flywheel is an individual's, team's, or organization's intentional ordering of only five to six key, repeated actions to achieve desired outcomes. Critical to success is the idea that the first action triggers the next, which in turn triggers the next. Each action is thus dependent on the one that came before it. What prompted Deb's effort was her recent inheritance of the district's worst-performing elementary school. Rather than throw a series of unrelated strategies at the problem, Deb used the flywheel as a thinking tool to help her architect a plan for sustainable improvement. Two important principles of the flywheel concept are ONE, a clear explanation of the desired result toward which everyone in the organization can work, and TWO, the selection of the all-important priority step from which the remaining elements cascade. Here's how the two elements played out in Deb's planning. After studying her student population, Deb realized that her students were extremely dispirited, lacked self-esteem, and felt they had no future. Given those findings, she decided that the desired result couldn't just be a lofty academic goal; it had to reflect the needs of the whole student. So she structured the desired results as: "Help kids become the best people they can be." Deb decided that, to achieve the desired results, the all-important priority step in the flywheel had to be hiring teachers who loved kids. As she told me, "I can teach people how to teach, but I can't teach them how to love. What these kids needed was to feel valued and capable of succeeding. If we did that well, academic success would follow." I've included Deb's flywheel model in the show notes on my website. Take a minute to review the steps and how they were designed to achieve the school's desired results. And the results, you ask? Deb's school quickly became the district's highest-performing elementary school, and her approach served as a model for other leaders and schools throughout the district. Extending the idea The beauty of the flywheel is that it constrains thinking to what is essential to bring about desired results. Instead of wild brainstorming that results in "We could do this and this, and this," the flywheel demands discipline: "If we do these few things in this order really well, we'll increase the likelihood of success." But imposing that limitation is really challenging for lots of organizations. Author of the essential read, Essentialism, Greg McKeown argues for a relentless pursuit of "less, but better." One of the biggest mistakes he notes is to dilute what is important by having "priorities." Here he explains the surprising history of the word priority and how its meaning has shifted over time: The word "priority" came into the English language in the 1400s. It was singular. It meant the very first or prior thing. It stayed singular for the next five hundred years. Only in the 1900s did we pluralize the term and start talking about priorities. Illogically, we reasoned that by changing the word we could bend reality. Somehow we would now be able to have multiple "first" things. One of the strategies that I really liked from McKeown's book is the idea of W.I.N. : asking yourself "What's Important Now?" Yes, it's a very mindful question because it helps us from sliding back into the unresolved past or ruminating about the yet-to-be-seen future. As McKeown concludes "It is mind-bending to consider that in practical terms, we only ever have now." And W.I.N.? is a flexible question in that it can be asked relative to the macro level of life where we're constantly trying to bring work, play, family into harmony and flow. (Note, I don't say "balance" because there ain't such a thing, is there?) And it can be asked at the micro level regarding all those discrete work or home projects staring us in the face. So…push yourself a bit, and ask "What's Important Now?" For inspiration, you can always watch the famous clip from the movie City Slickers, which never fails to get the juices flowing.

What if the person you're trying to leave behind is the very person who needs your compassion the most?In this episode of the Almost Daily Podcast, I talk about self-acceptance, body image, self-worth, and why so many people spend years trying to distance themselves from past versions of themselves.We often believe that changing our appearance, losing weight, reaching a goal, or becoming "better" will finally allow us to leave the past behind. But what if that isn't how healing works?I share my thoughts on why appreciating and loving yourself at every stage of life matters, how unresolved pain can continue showing up even after external changes occur, and why many of the struggles people describe as body image issues may actually run much deeper.We also discuss the importance of self-compassion, personal growth, therapy, and creating a healthier relationship with yourself so that you can offer the same grace and support to others.Topics Covered:• Self-acceptance and self-appreciation• Body image and self-worth• Why losing weight doesn't automatically create happiness• Letting go of labels from the past• Learning from mistakes without defining yourself by them• Therapy and emotional healing• The connection between self-love and personal growth• Why every version of you deserves compassion• Building a healthier relationship with yourself• Extending that same compassion to othersLinks Mentioned:Journal Prompts:https://yourlevelfitness.com/emailEmail Daryl:daryl@yourlevelfitness.comThank you for listening to the Almost Daily Podcast.I believe you're going to figure it out.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I analyze how Sana is helping Workday transform from a system of record into a system of action. Highlights 0:00 — Workday has announced two new agents: Sana for IT Service Management, or ITSM, and Sana Travel Agent. To recap, Workday acquired Sana at the end of 2025, and since then, the technology has evolved into Workday's employee AI layer, what the company describes as its "front door for work." 0:42 — Sana for ITSM automates workflows for tasks like employee onboarding, off-boarding, access changes, and standard IT requests, while the Sana Travel Agent helps employees plan work trips, book travel, and manage expenses. Both agents are built directly on Workday, meaning they have the same security and governance protocols by default, and tap into the bespoke contextual company data and policy information contained within the platform. 00:57 — Cloud Wars founder Bob Evans commented on the development in the official Workday press release: "Extending agents into adjacent workflows like onboarding, travel, and expenses, where Workday already has the people and finance data and policies, is not only practical but also a transformational way to help HR and finance leaders meet and exceed their objectives." 01:25 — Workday's acquisition of Sana was a pivotal moment in the company's recent history and accelerated its push in the enterprise AI era. The deal signaled a strategic evolution beyond Workday's traditional role as a system of record for HR and finance processes. 01:44 — At the same time, that deep system of record foundation is exactly what makes Sana's autonomous AI agents such a strong fit, because the agents can operate with rich context, permissions, policy, and workflow data already embedded within the platform.     Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Alex Chatfield, Co-Founder and President of Endorsable, joins Ari Paparo and Eric Franchi to discuss how data technology is transforming influencer and celebrity marketing. Drawing on his ad tech background from AppNexus, Alex explains how brands can move beyond traditional influencer metrics by leveraging fandom intelligence, audience data, and identity signals to build more effective endorsement partnerships. The conversation explores the growing intersection of influencer marketing, audience ownership, first-party data, programmatic advertising, and measurement. Takeaways Most creators and athletes don't truly own their audience data. Ticketing platforms, merch providers, social networks, and link-in-bio tools often control valuable fan information. Organic social reach continues to decline. Brands increasingly need paid amplification beyond social platforms to effectively reach a creator's fan base. Measurement remains a major challenge in influencer marketing. Many partnerships are still structured around content deliverables rather than business outcomes or audience performance metrics. Social platforms have an opportunity to improve influencer measurement. Platforms like Meta and YouTube could make campaign reporting more transparent and actionable for brands. Alex credits his AppNexus experience for shaping his entrepreneurial journey. His current business combines expertise in programmatic advertising, identity, and data with the entertainment and talent ecosystem.

What if the same brain states people spend years chasing through psychedelics could be accessed through meditation alone, and in as little as seven days? In this fascinating solo episode, Darin Olien explores groundbreaking new research from University of California San Diego, Harvard University, Massachusetts General Hospital, and University of Montreal suggesting that meditation may produce brain patterns remarkably similar to those observed during psychedelic experiences. From the suppression of the default mode network and increases in neural complexity to neuroplasticity, endogenous opioids, and measurable biological changes in the bloodstream, Darin unpacks the science behind one of the most powerful, and completely free tools available to human beings. He also walks listeners through a practical seven-day protocol combining focused-attention meditation, Vipassana, breathwork, walking meditation, and loving-kindness practices designed to help cultivate greater awareness, emotional resilience, cognitive flexibility, and inner peace.

Meditation is not simply a relaxation practice—it appears to be a biological, neurological, and consciousness-altering intervention capable of reshaping the brain, changing the body, and transforming how we experience reality.

Seth and Sean discuss what Mike Sando of the Athletic says was the Texans' best offseason move, and why they think it was good, but not the best.

As a teenager, I had a strained relationship with my churchmate Lisa, so I was dismayed to learn we’d be roommates at our youth summer camp. The week at camp passed smoothly though, with both of us being civil. The most anticipated event was a bonfire gathering at the end of the week. On that evening, however, I had a fever. I went to bed early, but I could hear the laughter and music outside. An hour later, I was startled by Lisa, who was taking my temperature. “I’m not joining them at the bonfire,” she said. “You’re sick. I need to stay with you.” Lisa could’ve stayed uninvolved, but she chose to care for me, which lifted my spirits. We see another example of someone who cared in the story of Naaman. The commander of the Syrian army, Naaman had an Israelite servant girl who’d been taken captive and now “served Naaman’s wife” (2 Kings 5:2). Separated from family and forced to servitude, the girl could’ve chosen to not help her master, who had leprosy. But her faith moved her to help: “She said to her mistress, ‘If only my master would see the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him” (v. 3). And God did, in fact, use the prophet Elisha to heal Naaman (vv. 8-14). Lisa and the Israelite girl chose to help, and God worked through them. Let’s ask God to show us who we can extend His care to and give us the wisdom how.

I brought Harita on to share her story of dropping 40 pounds in her 40th year.   Before joining, Harita had never followed a properly structured programme. She found herself at a crossroads, weighing up whether to go down the GLP-1 route or commit to something structured like RNT Fitness. She decided to give the programme a shot, with a plan to fall back on medication if it didn't work out.   Lo and behold, she's now a completely new woman, inside and out, inspiring her family, her community, her patients, and many others to take control of their health. The irony? Everyone's now convinced she's on GLP-1s and can't quite believe it's been RNT Fitness all along.   I really enjoyed this conversation, and I think you will too.

There's relief the Waikato Expressway extensions can finally proceed, with $1.7 billion allocated in Budget 2026. The 16-kilometre stretch will reach the intersection of State Highways One, and 29 at Piarere. Waipā mayor Mike Pettit says it's exciting news. "It helps with New Zealand GDP, but it definitely helps with Waipā - but more importantly, Waikato GDP. If you can move freight in a more efficient way, it sort of saves costs right through to the consumer." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we were pleased to host Marshall Carver, Professor of Finance at Tulane University, who is currently in Beijing teaching students through a joint program with the University of China Academy of Social Sciences (UCAS). We have known Marshall since his time at Tudor Pickering Holt, and he has since built a 20+ year career in equity and debt research. He joined the Tulane faculty five years ago and teaches energy-focused courses including energy investment banking, financial modeling, risk management, and equity research. We were excited to visit with Marshall and hear his firsthand perspectives from China. In our conversation, Marshall shares his experiences teaching energy finance and financial modeling in Beijing and his broader observations on China's rapidly evolving energy, manufacturing, and technology landscape. We discuss China's aggressive long-term focus on manufacturing, AI, renewable energy, batteries, EVs, automation, and infrastructure development through centralized five-year planning, and he explains why he believes China continues extending its lead across several energy transition industries. We explore parallels between the U.S. shale boom and China's current EV and renewable energy expansion, including the intense competition, quick scaling, overcapacity concerns, and profitability challenges facing many companies. Marshall outlines the differences he sees between Chinese and U.S. students in areas such as technology and AI tools, spreadsheet modeling, and engineering-focused education. We cover China's growing emphasis on energy security and its increasingly “all-of-the-above” approach to energy development, including coal, nuclear, renewables, and EV infrastructure investments. We also discuss the country's fast-growing EV ecosystem, long-range hybrid vehicles, AI and robotics adoption, and the broader geopolitical and industrial competition between China and the United States. We touch on demographic and real estate challenges within China, the role automation could play in offsetting labor constraints, and Marshall's fascinating personal observations from spending significant time on the ground in Beijing. It was a highly interesting discussion, and we appreciate Marshall for sharing his time and insights. Mike Bradley started the show by noting that this is a holiday-shortened trading week, with most markets trading on hopes of an imminent Iranian deal, even as those hopes are ironically being overshadowed by ongoing military strikes within the Gulf. On the bond market front, 10-year bond yields were trading just under 4.5% (down from a recent peak of ~4.7%) on optimism that inflation could begin to ease if a potential Iranian deal materializes. On the crude oil market front, WTI prices had pulled back to $92-$93/bbl (down $3-$4/bbl) amid growing optimism that an Iranian deal could be forthcoming. On the broader equity market front, markets continue to post new all-time highs (dialing in a significant amount of optimism), despite the ongoing cycle of weekly on-and-off talks with Iran. On the energy equity front, investors currently appear to be sitting on the sidelines, waiting to see which direction oil prices ultimately break. He ended by noting that energy investors also seem to be positioning for the next major Energy/Electric sector deal now that 1Q26 earnings calls are in the rearview mirror. Arjun Murti discussed several major themes emerging from the ongoing Iran conflict and broader energy markets. He emphasized that nothing about the current geopolitical backdrop appears to be slowing the ongoing “power super cycle,” particularly given strong hyperscaler earnings, capex growth, and continued AI-driven electricity demand. He also pushed back on the idea that oil is entering a new long-term super cycle and reiterated Veriten's view that the market environment is better characterized as “geopolitical super vol,” with continued spikes and pullbacks driven by geopolitical developments rather than structurally higher long-term oil prices. He outlined what Veriten is calling the “Four Ds” of pragmatic energy policy: maximizing domestic production, diversifying energy sources and technologies, doing more with existing assets, and embracing digital transformation and AI. Arjun ended by highlighting China as a notable example of a resource-constrained country pursuing an aggressive “all-of-the-above” strategy across coal, renewables, automation, and AI.

For this episode, we are joined by Kadija Ferryman, an anthropologist who studies equity and policy in health risk prediction technologies. Dr. Ferryman is Faculty at the Berman Institute of Bioethics and Assistant Professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.Dr. Ferryman traces her path into studying technology through a cultural anthropology lens, beginning with an early curiosity about how different cultures define illness and disease. She explains how the cultural anthropology focus on beliefs, values, and power structures shapes the way she examines modern health technologies. Using examples like the sequencing of the human genome, she highlights how different scientific communities drew strikingly different conclusions from the same discovery, revealing deeper tensions about race, biology, and social meaning that continue to influence biomedical research.Building on this foundation, Dr. Ferryman explores how bias becomes embedded in everyday health technologies, from pulse oximeters to clinical risk prediction algorithms. She describes how known inaccuracies of pulse oximeter readings for darker-skinned individuals persisted for decades and became especially visible during the COVID-19 pandemic. Extending these concerns to emerging areas like generative AI, she raises important questions about how biased data can shape both clinical care and healthcare systems more broadly. At the same time, she offers a more nuanced perspective: these flawed technologies can also serve as powerful windows into the inequities of our society and as opportunities to rethink how ethics is integrated into medicine and technological development.Ferryman K, Mackintosh M, Ghassemi M.

Are you still using one-factor-at-a-time experiments for biosimilar development, losing months, missing interactions, and risking costly dead-ends?In this episode, David Brühlmann, host of the Smart Biotech Scientist Podcast, reveals how traditional "one factor at a time" screening in biosimilar development can take over 12 months, while the parallel group design massively accelerates discovery by grouping up to five factors per experiment and applying a multivariate analysis pipeline.Topics discussed:The limitations of traditional and large DoE designs and the advantages of parallel group design (00:08)Best practices for grouping compounds by biological mechanism with four essential rules (00:53)The importance of anchor compounds, separating strong modulators, and initial univariate screens for unknown compounds (01:43)Guidance on managing practical issues, including evaporation, liquid handling, osmolality, and replicating production processes (06:42)The use of multivariate analysis tools: Principal Component Analysis, Mahalanobis distance, and decision trees for candidate selection (10:14)Key results and outcomes from applying the parallel group method, including faster and more cost-effective quality modulator identification (12:46)Three improvements David would recommend today: prequalifying compounds, broader quality analytics, and hybrid modeling integration (13:49)The shift in mindset from “time problem” to “information problem” in process development (16:50)Extending the parallel group and multivariate approach to other areas like clone selection and scale-up decisions (17:52)Smart insight:Process development is fundamentally about generating actionable information, not just running more experiments. The parallel group, multivariate pipeline lets teams ask better questions, in parallel, with dramatically improved data yield. This mindset and methodology extend well beyond biosimilar media development into clone selection, feed design, and process characterization, wherever complexity would paralyze traditional approaches.If you want more detail, you can read the full article “Parallel experimental design and multivariate analysis provides efficient screening of cell culture media supplements to improve biosimilar product quality” published in Biotechnology and Bioengineering, which outlines the methods and findings behind this approach.If you're interested in hybrid modeling, here's what previous podcast guests have shared on the topic, offering perspectives from fundamentals to real-world applications.Episodes 05 - 06: Hybrid Modeling: The Key to Smarter Bioprocessing with Michael SokolovEpisodes 99 - 100: From Raw Data to Actionable Insights: Unlocking the Power of Process Models with Fabian FeidlEpisodes 137 - 138: Skip 90% of Bioreactor Runs: The In Silico Revolution in Bioprocess Development with Yossi QuintEpisodes 173 - 174: Mastering Hybrid Model Digital Twins: From Lab Scale to Commercial Bioprocessing with Krist GernaeyNext step: If this was useful, leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

In the last decade of a person's life, we spend 7x what we spend on taking care of them in all the years that came before. SEVEN TIMES! That's not only unbelievable, it’s unsustainable, particularly as our aging population grows and life span increases. So, if it’s not just about increasing life span, or the number of years someone lives, what is it about? For Dr. Tzipi Strauss, Founder and Director of the Sheba Longevity Center, it's about increasing health span, that is the number of years a person lives healthily, without the need for significant intervention.  The work Dr. Strauss and her team are doing focuses on longevity. It's a step beyond lifestyle medicine in that they look across all body systems, and at the individual as a whole, to identify their biggest risk factors and what interventions they actually need, not just what the latest fad says. The emphasis on behavior change is significant, and that may be the holy grail, getting people to adopt these healthy changes permanently, but Dr. Strauss finds that when patients see their biological age and the impact of the decisions and choices they've been making, their motivation to change is different. It's data driven. Professor Strauss is a physician-scientist, pediatrician, and neonatologist, and a leading voice in the emerging field of longevity medicine. She is the Founder and Director of the Sheba Longevity Center—one of the first academic longevity centers embedded within a public healthcare system. Her work combines clinical innovation, research, and policy, aiming to transform longevity from a privilege into a scalable, evidence-based public health model.

Most of medicine is built around snapshots. You feel something, you test for it, and by the time you find it, you're already behind. But what if the problem isn't the test—it's how we use it? In this episode, I sit down with physicist and imaging pioneer Dr. Daniel Sodickson, Chief Medical Scientist at Function Health and author of The Future of Seeing. We break down why tools like MRI are shifting from one-time scans to something far more powerful: tracking your health over time. Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts. In this episode, we cover: • Why waiting for symptoms puts you behind—and how to get ahead • What an MRI can reveal about your body that bloodwork can't • How tracking your health over time helps you catch problems sooner • Why having a baseline could change the way you make health decisions • What it means to shift from reacting to disease to actually predicting it When you stop looking at a single result and start looking at patterns, you can catch changes earlier, reduce false alarms, and better predict where your health is headed.
