In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I spotlight Palantir's stunning 63% revenue surge and its defiant, rule-breaking vision for the AI Era.Highlights00:30 — Palantir, earlier this week, reported its Q3 numbers, and they were absolutely extraordinary. I thought the only thing that matched the blowout numbers that Palantir had was the perspective and philosophy revealed in the Q3 earnings call from CEO Alexander Karp. I want to talk about that in just a minute.01:23 —You hear talk around the industry, people saying, “Well, what is Palantir? Are they an apps company? Are they an analytics company? Are they a data company? Are they an AI company? Are they a database company? Are they, you know, this or that?” Palantir absolutely defies any easy positioning or being put in a particular box or category. It is all of those things.02:26 — Its revenue for Q3, ending September 30, was up 63% — almost $1.2 billion. It had projected growth for Q3 of about 51% and blew that number away. Within that, its U.S. commercial business is now by far the fastest-growing part of its company. Remarkable growth there of 121% in Q3 to almost $400 million. The U.S. government business was up 52% to $486 million.03:42 — Palantir signed new deals totaling $2.8 billion in contract value. That new business alone is an indication that this is not a blip. Some people talk about an AI bubble. Karp said, “The bubble exists only for companies that are not really trying to impart enduring value.” Of that $2.8 billion, there were 93 deals signed in the quarter for $5 million or more, and 51 deals for $10 million or more.04:14 — A big point that Karp made is that as the company gains more visibility, it's important that: “We are always at the toughest and most complex part of our customers' technology stacks, because with AI, that's the only way we can impart real value for those customers and unlock for them the ability to become truly transformed companies in the AI revolution.” He speaks like no other CEO I've been around.

What is the role of solitude in Christian history? Medievalist Hetta Howes comments on the allure of enclosure, how seeking solitude supports community, and what these ancient lives reveal about our modern search for connection.“Even those moments of solitude that she's carving for herself are surprisingly sociable.”This episode is part 1 of a 5-part series, SOLO, which explores the theological, moral, and psychological dimensions of loneliness, solitude, and being alone.Medieval Anchoresses and Women Mystics sought a life of solitude with and for God—what about their vocation might illuminate our perspectives on loneliness, isolation, and solitude today?In this episode, Hetta Howes joins Macie Bridge to explore the extraordinary lives of medieval women mystics, including Julian of Norwich and Marjorie Kempee. Drawing from her book Poet Mystic Widow Wife: The Extraordinary Lives of Medieval Women, Howes illuminates how these women lived in literal and spiritual solitude—sometimes sealed in stone anchorages, sometimes carving sacred space in the midst of family and community. Together they consider the physical and spiritual demands of enclosure, the sociable windows of anchorages, and the simultaneous human longing for both solitude and companionship. Across the centuries, these women invite us to think anew about loneliness, vocation, and the need for community—even in devotion to God.Helpful Links and ResourcesPoet Mystic Widow Wife: The Extraordinary Lives of Medieval Women – Hetta HowesJulian of Norwich, Revelations of Divine Love (Penguin Classics)The Book of Margery Kempe (Oxford World's Classics)Episode Highlights“An anchorage is a small cell, usually joined to a church… and the idea was that you would never leave that place alive again.”“Sometimes you do come across these things and you're like, oh, maybe the cultural consciousness was so different that they had a different language for loneliness.”“Marjorie frames herself as a figure who is constantly looking for connection—sometimes finding it, but often being rejected in really painful ways.”“Even those moments of solitude that she's carving for herself are surprisingly sociable.”“What I've learned from them is the importance of community—that even solitary professions absolutely rely on other people.”About Hetta HowesHetta Howes is a Lecturer in Medieval and Early Modern Literature at City St. George's, University of London. She specializes in the literature of the Middle Ages, with particular focus on medieval women writers, mysticism, and representations of gender and devotion. Her most recent book is Poet Mystic Widow Wife: The Extraordinary Lives of Medieval Women (2024).Show NotesSolitude and SanctityHowes introduces her research on medieval women mystics and writers (Julian of Norwich, Margery Kempe, Christine de Pizan, Marie de France).Exploration of the anchoritic life—cells built into church walls where women lived sealed from the world.The paradox of solitude: enclosure for God that still required connection for survival.The Anchorite's WorldAnchorages included small windows—to the church, the street, and for food—balancing isolation with limited engagement.Guidebooks warned women against gossip and temptation, revealing anxiety about sociability and holiness.“Why have a window to the world if you're not ever going to converse with it?”Loneliness and BoredomLoneliness rarely appears in medieval texts; boredom and idleness were greater concerns.“Boredom comes up as a concept much more often than loneliness.”Modern readers project our loneliness onto them; their silence might reveal difference, not absence.Julian and MarjorieJulian's quiet solitude contrasts with Marjorie's noisy, emotional piety.Marjorie Kempe's “roarings” and unconventional piety challenged norms; she lived in the world but sought holiness.“I wish you were enclosed in a house of stone”—a critique of her refusal to conform.Solitude and CommunityEven in seclusion, anchorites served others—praying, advising, maintaining windows to the world.Julian's writings reveal care for all Christians; her solitude was intercessory, not selfish.Howes connects medieval community to our modern digital and emotional isolation.Modern ReflectionsHowes parallels her own experience of digital overload and motherhood with the medieval longing for quiet focus.“As amazing as the digital can be, it's eroding so much.”She cautions against idolizing solitude but affirms its value for clarity and grounding.Production NotesThis podcast featured Hetta HowesInterview by Macie BridgeEdited and Produced by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Alexa Rollow, Emily Brookfield, and Hope ChunA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give

Protein sources, seed oil panic, aspartame fears — nutritional scientist Dr. Layne Norton dismantles the internet's favorite fitness myths here!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1234What We Discuss with Dr. Layne Norton:Total protein intake matters more than source. Once you consume 30-40 grams of protein in a sitting, the specific source becomes largely irrelevant since the muscle-building signal gets saturated.Aspartame fears are scientifically unfounded. Despite popular panic, artificial sweeteners don't cause insulin spikes, increase hunger, or cause diabetes. Cancer risks only appear at 10,000x normal consumption in lab rats.Context over absolutes defines expert communication. Real experts rarely use words like "always," "never," "best," or "worst." They provide nuance, acknowledge uncertainty, and present opposing viewpoints before explaining their position.Emotional manipulation drives supplement marketing. The more exclamation points and extreme claims in marketing, the less likely it's legitimate. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, not just assertion.Listen to how fitness experts (or any experts, for that matter) speak, not just what they say. Train yourself to recognize measured, contextual language that acknowledges complexity. When you spot fear-mongering or absolute statements, investigate deeper and demand evidence before accepting claims.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

In today's episode, I'm sharing the behind-the-scenes of launching my new membership, Obsessed, and the deeper conversation that inspired it. I talk about what it really takes to create the life and business you want, starting with clarity, fueling it with genuine obsession and passion, and backing it up with messy action. I also share why gratitude and joy have become non-negotiables for me, especially in this season. If you're ready to operate from a place of purpose, fire, and momentum, this one's for you.

Grief doesn't just show up on anniversaries or holidays — it can sneak into the grocery store, the car ride home, or a favorite recipe. In this episode, we'll talk about how the most ordinary moments can suddenly carry extraordinary weight, and how to give yourself grace when grief feels like it's everywhere.

Would you like to hone your psychic skills? Are you familiar with the idea of remote viewing and how the military uses it? Our guest today, Hakim Isler, is a combat veteran and military expert in PsiOps. He is the creator of the Psi Games Event and will discuss its role in unlocking human potential. Hakim is a survivalist and explains how the human hierarchy of needs relates to the chakras. We are all part of the whole. In this interview, Hakim discusses consciousness and how we relate to the world. This leads to other states of awareness. He talks about spiritual living and the importance of breathwork. Hakim is involved in an extensive yoga program and talks about balance and various breathing techniques. He shares about three different types of breathing, all of which affect our energy, whether it's to feel more energized, to slow down and relax, or to simply be in balance. Hakim was on the TV show "Naked and Afraid" where he was sent to the Himalayan mountains and needed to survive for 21 days with no food, no water, no shelter. He shares what he learned during that time. Hakim realized that what really matters is who you are and who you love. He tries to remind people that we are unlimited beings. We must try to hold on to what matters – and love is the most important aspect. The biggest tools we have are our breath and our love. We are all connected. Hakim further discusses the practice of remote viewing which was originally designed by the military to access information from a different place and time. Essentially the veterans in this secret program were considered "psychic spies." Hakim explains how remote viewing helps us realize we are more than our physical bodies. We are expanded beings as a collective. The true awareness of who we are is about connection as a whole. He also talks about the extensive work he is doing to teach everyone, especially children, how to access our innate psychic abilities. Hakim believes it's the next level of our evolution. He invites us to step into the full spectrum of who we are by learning and experiencing these unlimited possibilities. This is Part 1 of the interview.

Matthew 6:5–8 This morning we look at Jesus’ teaching on personal prayer from Matthew 6:5–8. Far from being a performance, prayer is a seemingly ordinary practice that draws us into an honest, dependent, and life changing relationship with God. Jesus teaches us how to pray sincerely, trust God’s guidance, and experience the transforming grace that comes from simply showing up and speaking from the heart.

Matthew 6:5-8 For the atheist prayer is a meaningless religious chore with no positive benefit or purpose. However, for the follower of Christ, prayer is an incredible privilege that has benefits both in this life and the one to come! Prayer is an incredible opportunity because through Jesus we have access to a good God whose ear is always attentive to His children’s petitions and praises.

Matthew 6:5-8 Most of us were never taught how to communicate, whether with a spouse, a parent, or even with God, and have spent our lives learning by trial and error. Before the disciples asked Jesus, “Teach us to pray,” there was no clear instruction on how to speak with God: Should we pray aloud or silently? Eyes open or closed? Kneeling or standing? The questions are endless. Yet prayer was never meant to be a ritual to perfect, but a relationship to deepen. In this message, we’ll explore what God says about prayer, look at practical ways to apply it, and then put it into practice together, discovering that true prayer is not performance but personal dialogue with a God who listens and rewards the sincere heart.

We're diving deep into the final 5+ lessons from my "25 Lessons in 25 Years" series — and I promise you, this one's going to stir your soul. This episode is all about the next version of you, your habits, your mindset, and how to live your WHY with focus, fortitude, faith, and fire. After 25 years in the trenches — training, coaching, building businesses, leading people, and walking through both triumphs and trials — these final lessons are the culmination of everything I've learned about impact, growth, and living life on purpose. So grab your journal, take a deep breath, and let's get your mind right. Here is what we will go deep on today with my lessons: LESSON 21: Have You Even Met the Best Version of You Yet? Stop letting your past — good or bad — define your future. You are not your job title, your bank account, or your achievements. You are defined by how you live with purpose, love your people, and the impact you make in this world. LESSON 22: Your Habits Make or Break You Success isn't built on motivation — it's built on habits. Your habits will either set you up for greatness or sabotage your growth. From morning routines to movement, journaling to phone boundaries, all the way to evening routines--your systems shape your story. LESSON 23: Get Your Mind Right In the good times and the tough times, yep, you gotta GET or you gotta KEEP your mind right. Mindset determines everything. You can't have a 7-figure or an 8-figure impact with a 3-figure mindset. And remember: to truly get your mind right, you've got to tune into your whispers--not the world's noise. Your whispers are God's voice guiding you toward your divine calling. LESSON 24: Drink the Juice What's giving you juice right now? What fires you up? What's that one thing that gets you out of bed before sunrise ready to attack the day? If you've lost your juice — get around people who have it. Passion is contagious. Also, discover what's giving me the most "juice" these days. LESSON 25: Build Relationship Equity Relationships are your greatest asset. Period. The people you pour into today might be the very ones who show up to help you 15 or 20 years down the road. Build your network before you need it. Keep serving. Keep giving. Keep showing up for people. LESSON 26: Build Your Brand, Protect Your Reputation It can take 20 years to build a reputation… and one bad decision to destroy it. Guard your integrity. Lead with honor. Choose wisely. LESSON 27: Lead, Lead, Lead A leader of one, a leader of many — if you can't lead one, you can't lead any. Lead yourself first. Five leadership truths I've learned: 1. Hire slow, fire fast. 2. Listen with your ears AND your eyes. 3. Culture leads to cash. 4. Cash flow is the lifeblood — keep your eyes on it. 5. Set high expectations and live them out. LESSON 28: Show Up as Extraordinary. Period. Extraordinary doesn't just happen — it's a choice. LESSON 29: Who Do You Want to Be a Hero To? Who do you want to be a hero to — your kids? Your spouse? Your team? The people you serve? And instead of just asking yourself, "What are you willing to die for?" Ask, "What are you willing to LIVE for?" LESSON 30: Live Your WHY…Live Your Purpose. When and why did you start your mission? Are you still living from that place of divine purpose? Are you living your divine uniqueness on a regular basis and creating maximum IMPACT?! This lessons shares it all and ends with some fire!! That's a wrap. I hope this episode recalibrated your energy, reminded you of the deep-seated passion and purpose inside of you, and ignited a fire within you to go out and do good in the world. This also culminates my 25-lessons and sets up one of the MOST IMPORTANT podcast episodes out of 450 thus far. Be sure to tune-in NEXT week to hear some of the biggest news of my entire 25+ year fitness career. Do NOT miss it!

James Fox wears a couple of hats. He is director of studies in History of Art at Emmanuel College, Cambridge and creative director of the Hugo Burge Foundation. As well as that he is a BAFTA-nominated broadcaster and an author with a brand new book out. Craftland: A Journey Through Britain's Lost Arts & Vanishing Trades is his journey through Britain to discover the craftspeople that literally make this island. En route he meets dry stone wallers, a rush weaver, a thatcher, a letter cutter and a watchmaker to name just a few. The book illustrates what we once had and what we could be in danger of losing, while also highlighting the importance of hand skill and materiality in a digital age. In this episode we talk about: why ‘craft' remains a contentious word; craft as both a contemporary invention and an approach to life; the relationship between hand making and digital culture; how Fox discovered art as a child; bridging the divide between fine art and craft; the field's ‘inherent diversity'; what the state could do to help makers; crafts potential role in the transition to Net Zero; why Craftland is ‘nostalgic for the present'; the importance of tacit knowledge; and why the future of making in Britain is bright. You can purchase a copy of Craftland here. The full programme for Assemble with Material Matters, our new one-day conference held at the Bank of England Conference Centre on 20 November, is available here.And you can secure your place at the conference here.If you love the podcast, you'll adore the conference.Support the show

After deliverance came celebration, and faithful servants helped preserve the story. God uses ordinary people who say yes to extraordinary causes for His glory.

In this sermon, Pastor Clint walks us through Luke 9:1–9. Jesus commissions the twelve with his own authority to heal and cast out demons, showing that their ministry flows from his power, not their own. He instructs them to travel light and depend entirely on God's provision, teaching them trust and humility in service. As they go proclaiming his name and kingdom, even rulers like Herod take notice—reminding us that Christ's mission advances through ordinary people empowered and sustained by him.

God delights in using ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. In this message, we look at the story of Peter and John in Acts 3–4, where two fishermen become bold witnesses for Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.You'll discover:-How God used a simple act of compassion to open the door for the gospel-Why true power comes from the name of Jesus, not human ability-How Peter and John displayed courage in the face of opposition-What it means to live as an ordinary person filled with extraordinary purpose-How God turns spectators into servants and audiences into armiesThrough the healing of a crippled man and the bold testimony that followed, we're reminded that God still works through those who make themselves available. Our skills, experiences, and everyday moments can become tools in His hands to reach the world for Christ.Key Scripture: Acts 3–4Theme: God uses ordinary people in extraordinary waysTakeaway: God doesn't call the qualified—He qualifies the called.

You walk down the street and spot someone wearing a T-shirt made by a friend from your past life in Baltimore. Do you approach them? Well, that's what today's guest Amy Stafford did – and this moment led her to being part of the Lucky Trimmer, one of the most beloved dance festivals in Europe.Amy isn't even a dancer; she found her way into the community that builds this festival by offering what she was good at to something she was curious about. The festival has since grown into an international phenomenon and has guided Amy into her current design career as the founder of the Blixa 6 Studios.In this episode, Amy and I talk about how small moments can lead to the most extraordinary ripple effects. Whether you're feeling stuck in your current social circles or wondering how to connect in a new city, Amy's story is going to show how the connections you're seeking might be closer than you think.

In this episode we answer emails from Niek, Dustin, Dale, Hydromod and .  We discuss adopting a golden ratio mix and not having unrealistic expectations, the plusses and minuses of the AI-version-of-you fad, the new website and why trying to use gold futures for leverage might not be the best choice for your gambling problem.Link:  Father McKenna Center Donation Page:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Ever had a month where nearly everything in your portfolio rose and wondered if the universe broke? We unpack why September's across-the-board lift made sense in a weaker-dollar world, what temporary positive correlation looks like in practice, and how a golden ratio-style allocation helps you ride the wave without refreshing your account every hour.A listener's note from the road kicks off a candid conversation about trusting diversified portfolios and ignoring daily noise. From there, we dig into the hype and hazards of AI finance gurus—yes, including Ray Dalio's “digital Ray.” We talk usefulness, accuracy gaps, and the risk of forming unhealthy attachments to bots that sound wise but miss nuance. Along the way, we challenge a popular myth: that copying successful people's habits will unlock their results. Extraordinary investors aren't great because they make their beds; they're great because they're extraordinarily skilled. For the rest of us, evidence-based allocations, low costs, and sensible rebalancing are the habits that pay.We also get practical. You'll hear our simple distribution shortcut (divide by 240 for a 5% annualized monthly draw), plus a tour of our streamlined website with faster search and full transcripts. Then we roll up our sleeves on gold exposure: why futures create rollover and curve headaches, when ETFs and return-stacked funds can be smarter, and how modest, low-cost margin—or leveraging equities instead—can open room for diversifiers like gold and managed futures. The throughline is clarity over complexity: build a portfolio that bends without breaking, whether the dollar dips, inflation flares, or correlations get weird for a while.If this resonates, follow the show, leave a quick review, and share it with a friend who's wrestling with allocation choices.

“If a door closes, quit banging on it. Whatever was behind it was not meant for you. Consider that perhaps the door was closed because you're worth so much more than what was on the other side.” – Karen Salmansohn Youtube: https://youtu.be/2DkLl2JHtQI Check Out These Highlights: I chose this quote because I often feel this way.  When doors close or something ends, I ponder if I did something that caused this change.  It could be good or bad, but it doesn't really matter.  The end result is when those doors close, stop banking on them, and think of the next possible step forward. I personally love the quotes that share the Universe is always conspiring to help our higher self.  There's a comfort in knowing that the future is better and bigger than I can imagine today.

Today, the Two Mikes sat down with evolutionary psychologist Edward Dutton to expose the insidious rise of wokeism as a weaponized ideological regime aiming to dismantle Western civilization. Dr. Dutton pulled no punches in tracing the origins of this anti-reality cult, warning that its spread throughout Britain and the U.S. signals nothing short of civilizational suicide. From the collapse of Christianity to the glorification of weakness, Dutton laid out how the woke agenda is ushering in societal collapse, lawlessness, and mass mental illness. Only a return to truth, tradition, and faith, he argues, can break the grip of this neo-pagan tyranny.Follow Two Mikes on Pickax: https://pickax.com/twomikesGet your FREE Gold & Silver Guide from My Gold Guy: https://mygoldguy.com/twomikes

PREVIEW: European Allies Consider 'Drone Wall' Amid Russian Harassment and Political Confusion Guest:Mary Kissel The discussion between John Batchelor and Mary Kissel centers on an extraordinary emergency meeting held in Copenhagen by the EU and NATO—not including the US—to address repeated harassment by drones presumed to be launched by Russia. The allies are discussing creating a "drone wall." Mary Kissel emphasizes that the purpose of Russia's actions is to exploit vulnerabilities and create "uncertainty, confusion, deterrence." When President Putin observes Europe from Moscow, he sees nations with "weaker defense capabilities, weaker ties to Washington, and weaker political systems." Specifically, many governments, such as those in Germany, Belgium, and France, are weak, noting that the French government recently collapsed after less than a month. Mary Kissel quotes her colleague, Tom Tugendhat, outlining Russia's aggressive actions in the UK alone, which include using chemical weapons, nuclear poisons, committing sabotage, attempting espionage, and threatening nuclear attack. Ultimately, the goal of Russia's "poking and prodding" is to gauge the reaction of these nations and see if they will implement the drone wall or respond with "just words."
