What if protecting your health starts with having the conversations most people would rather avoid?In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley and Jennifer take on sexual health, STI prevention, pregnancy prevention, and the responsibility that comes with being sexually active. They break down an important distinction: many forms of birth control are designed to prevent pregnancy, but they do not protect against sexually transmitted infections. The conversation also covers testing, condoms, communication with partners, HPV awareness, and why both women and men need to take ownership of their sexual health.Beyond the main topic, Farley and Jennifer discuss Apple's AI challenges, the return of Toys “R” Us, GLP-1 concerns, and Christian Bale and Sibi Blažić's foster-care initiative. The episode closes with a serious reminder about mental health, paying attention to warning signs, and speaking up when someone may be struggling.Episode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(1:17) Apple, Siri, and AI expectations(3:38) Toys “R” Us makes a comeback(6:40) GLP-1 risks and health concerns(9:38) Understanding STIs vs. STDs(10:27) Preventing pregnancy vs. preventing STIs(11:54) Why regular STI testing matters(14:21) Taking responsibility for sexual protection(15:38) Condoms as dual protection(16:41) STI risks beyond intercourse(18:58) HPV awareness and screening(24:40) Birth control does not prevent STIs(25:37) Talking to sons and daughters about safe sex(28:49) Christian Bale's foster-care village(32:34) “Heavy” and reaching out to people struggling(33:59) Suicide prevention, warning signs, and speaking up(36:25) OutroSend us Fan MailSupport the showFollow us:Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty

What can the story of Wild Horse Annie teach us about standing up for wild horses today? In this episode, I speak with award-winning author Terri Farley about her new book, "Horse Girl: How Velma Bronn Johnston Became Wild Horse Annie and Outsmarted the Mustang Killers of the West." We talk about how Velma became an advocate for wild horses and the experiences that shaped her work.        Terri shares what she discovered while researching Velma's personal papers, including stories that reveal the woman behind the name Wild Horse Annie. From her childhood and struggles with public speaking to the first time she witnessed horses being taken to slaughter, Velma persisted in speaking out even when it was difficult.      In this episode, you'll hear why Terri believes Velma's story is especially relevant today, what advocates can learn from her approach, and why facts, education, and the willingness to speak up remain so important. We also talk about wild horse family bonds, what people misunderstand about wild horses, and why Terri wants readers to rethink what they know about these animals.            Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.wildhoofbeats.com/72        Learn more about Terri Farley and her books: https://terrifarley.com/        If you'd like to know more about my book, "Wild Hoofbeats: America's Vanishing Wild Horses," click here: https://www.wildhoofbeats.com/product/wild-hoofbeats-americas-vanishing-wild-horses

The Giants had their worst season in five years. What went wrong? What went right? Can Buster Posey right the ship? Ed interviews Connor Grossman from Giants Postcards about what lies ahead.

Una observación aparentemente trivial en una feria —unos niños saltando sobre camas elásticas sujetos por un arnés— sirve como punto de partida para preguntarnos algo mucho más profundo: ¿qué ocurre en la médula cuando una pierna carga, se extiende, se descarga y vuelve a entrar en flexión? A partir del hopping, este episodio recorre cómo interactúan la predicción cerebral, la mecánica del músculo y el tendón, la carga, la posición de la cadera y el feedback sensorial para organizar el movimiento. La conversación nos lleva desde estudios clásicos sobre stepping y lesión medular hasta la idea de la médula como una “máquina de estados”, capaz de responder de forma distinta según el contexto en el que recibe cada señal. Y, desde ahí, damos un último paso: cómo una intuición neurofisiológica y biomecánica puede empezar a transformarse en una pregunta de ingeniería, sin perder de vista la clínica ni confundir una hipótesis interesante con un tratamiento ya demostrado.

Chris Jericho and P.J. Farley hang with Eddie for an extended conversation covering Iron Maiden's reluctant Hall of Fame induction and what should happen at the ceremony. They dive into their Kiss tribute band Kuarantine, which celebrates the non-makeup eighties era with upcoming New York shows and a new single release. The guys also discuss Fozzy's new video for 'I Know Evil,' their approach to releasing singles instead of full albums, and Chris drops hints about unreleased Van Halen archive material he's involved with. Plus, stories about Helloween at the Acropolis, Krokus in arenas, and the ridiculousness of eighties Kiss lyrics. After that, Billy Morrison stops by to chat about his fourth solo album Hollow. Billy talks about why he loves collaborating with rock legends like Marilyn Manson, Sully Erna, Nuno Bettencourt, and Duff McKagan, and how working with these artists keeps him sharp as a player. He discusses the new single 'Take Me As I Am,' which is purely his own work—written, played, and sung entirely by him. Billy also gets emotional remembering his close friend Ozzy Osbourne, nearly a year after his passing, and shares what it's like standing on stage every night with guitar virtuoso Steve Stevens in Billy Idol's band.

What happens when sex, sports, politics, celebrity, and money all collide in the same conversation?In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley and Jennifer tackle several headline-making topics before turning their attention to Sydney Sweeney's controversial Novig campaign. They discuss whether choosing to use sexuality in advertising can be empowering, objectifying, or somehow both, and why the campaign has sparked a wider debate about women, athletes, advertising, and the idea that “sex sells.”The conversation also looks at how prediction markets and sports betting have become easier to access, how provocative marketing can pull attention away from the product itself, and why personal choice still comes with long-term consequences.Later, the hosts discuss Bernie Sanders' public concerns about AI, concentrated technological power, job displacement, and what could happen to workers as companies automate more tasks.Episode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(1:34) Security concerns and accountability(3:46) Nike and women's sports debate(5:22) Politics inside music and entertainment(8:58) Sydney Sweeney's controversial campaign(12:58) Sexualization versus female empowerment(16:10) Marketing distracts from gambling(18:21) Sports betting and instant access(20:28) Empowered, objectified, or both(23:53) Bernie Sanders on AI power(28:49) AI automation and job displacement(31:28) OutroSend us Fan MailSupport the showFollow us:Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty

Why Customer Experience Isn't a Department, It's a Company-Wide Strategy Shep interviews Keith Farley, Chief Customer Officer for Aflac, Inc. He talks about delivering best-in-class customer experience by hiring for empathy, leveraging technology, and embracing authentic customer service as a strategy. This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:   How do you build a culture where every employee takes ownership of customer service? When should a company use AI automation versus a live human customer support agent? Will AI eliminate customer service jobs? How does hiring for empathy impact customer experience? Can empathy be scaled across a large customer service organization? Top Takeaways:   Customer service is everybody's job. When you wear the company logo or interact with a customer, you represent the entire brand. When an employee is in front of a customer, they might be the only interaction the customer ever has. That interaction might be the only basis that the customer has to form an impression of the entire company.  The A in AI stands for “artificial”. In times of need, customers need another A, which stands for “authentic”. While digital options make processes convenient for both customers and agents, make sure a human-to-human service is available, especially in emotional or sensitive situations. Great customer experiences start with hiring for empathy. It is hard to train someone to be nice and empathetic when it doesn't come naturally. Empathy can't be faked, and customers notice when it's real. For companies without a physical product, the experience is the product. The value comes from how fast responses are, how convenient the processes are, and how supported customers feel. Some customer concerns are so challenging and require a high level of empathy that they might require specialized support. Creating a dedicated team for these calls gives customers people trained to handle that moment with empathy and clarity. Plus, Shep and Keith discuss why business leaders should call their customer support number from time to time. Tune in! Quote:   "When you're wearing your brand and representing the brand, you are the brand." About:   Keith Farley is the Chief Customer Officer for Aflac, Inc. He leads a team of more than 2,000 employees and is focused on making customer experience a company-wide strategy.  Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio⁠.

Michigan rental property legislation is moving fast, and most of what matters to rental owners is happening in Lansing, not Washington. In this post-primary legislative update, Erika Farley of the Rental Property Owners Association of Michigan breaks down what the August primary results signal about November, which candidates are actually talking about housing, and which bills should worry Michigan rental property owners heading into lame duck and the 2027 session. Rent control, eviction expungement, junk fee rules, and a proposed cap on application fees are all in play. About Erika Farley Erika Farley is the Executive Director of the Rental Property Owners Association of Michigan, where she leads advocacy and lobbying on behalf of the state's rental property owners and housing providers. She works directly with legislators and elected officials in Lansing, tracks housing policy at the local, state, and now federal level, and oversees the association's endorsement and PAC activity. What We Cover in This Episode What the August primary results signal about turnout heading into November The Michigan U.S. Senate race and where the candidates stand on housing Why housing became a top tier campaign issue for both parties What the new federal housing law changes for HUD, Section 8, and construction The Congressional 7th race and what it signals about housing policy direction Rent control risk and why New York City is being used as a policy roadmap RPOAM's position on rent control and new restrictions on rental owners How RPOAM decides which candidates to endorse in a general election What questions go on the RPOAM candidate questionnaire The bipartisan Michigan rezoning package and who is driving it Michigan's new limit on corporate ownership of single family homes The electronic rent payment mandate tied to the state budget deal Eviction expungement legislation and the amendments RPOAM has fought for Junk fee bills and the proposal to cap application fees at $25 The tenant bill of rights package expected to return after January Why lame duck and early 2027 are the real fight for Michigan rental owners Key Insight Erika's read on why the current batch of housing bills is so small: legislators are looking for low hanging fruit they can put on campaign literature and claim they worked on housing. The bills that actually change how you operate, eviction expungement, junk fee disclosure, application fee caps, and a tenant bill of rights package, are being held for lame duck and the session that starts in January. Our words on the current activity: they are nipping at the edges. The real lift comes after the election. Why This Episode Matters If you own rental property in Michigan, the rules you operate under next year are being written right now by people who have never run a rental business. This episode tells you which bills are moving, which races decide who writes them, and where a state association can actually change an outcome. If you have been treating legislative risk as somebody else's problem, this is the episode that shows you the bill.

Country preacher Jeremy Farley, author of Hay Bales and Holy Rollers, joins Wayne Shepherd in conversation about his life and testimony.  (click for more...)   Website:  www.JeremyFarley.com Jeremy Farley, a pastor from Wytheville, Virginia, and author of the memoir Hay Balers and Holy Rollers. Farley was born to a teenage mother in 1985 after she rejected pressure to have an abortion, and he grew up on his great-grandfather's Virginia farm after being raised partly in West Virginia coal country. His great-grandfather, "the Old Man" (Tom Farley), was a hard, self-made, "black-and-white" man who taught him toughness but dismissed church as being "for weak men." Jeremy had a false conversion as a teen under social pressure at a legalistic Christian school, then genuinely surrendered to Christ in college on October 15, 2004. He describes founding Restoration Church of Wytheville in 2019, which weathered pandemic setbacks (meeting in a cow pasture) before growing into a two-service congregation. The interview's emotional centerpiece is his 2014 hospital-bedside conversation with his dying great-grandfather, where he shared the "Romans Road" gospel passages and learned the old man's own mother had shared the same verses with him as a child before she died — leading the great-grandfather to profess faith in Christ shortly before his death.                                             NEXT WEEK:  Cheryl TinsleySend your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.

When did being busy become something we brag about instead of something we question? In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley and Jennifer take a closer look at our culture's obsession with staying constantly occupied. They share their own struggles with packed calendars, endless to-do lists, multitasking, and the guilt that can show up when they finally slow down.The conversation gets especially real around the difference between being busy and actually being productive. Farley and Jen discuss how busyness can make us feel important, needed, and in control, while sometimes keeping us distracted from ourselves. They also talk about phones, notifications, overcommitting, and how nonstop activity can quietly cost us rest, creativity, relationships, attention, and presence.Before the main conversation, they cover travel laws in Texas, changes surrounding LIV Golf and the PGA Tour, and rising US Open ticket prices.

NC Labor Commissioner Luke Farley looks back on a remarkable two years in statewide politics, from his victorious primary upset to his decisive win in the general election and his transition from candidate to North Carolina's Labor Commissioner. The first term Republican talks about what it took to pull off the primary upset, how he turned that momentum into a big victory in November, and what he has learned since taking office. But perhaps most interesting is what has happened since the election: Farley has earned praise, and even adulation, from some of the very people who opposed him. We talk about why, what he's doing differently, and how he's approaching the job now that the campaign is over. It's a wide-ranging Labor Day conversation about politics, leadership, workers, workplace safety, the future of work in North Carolina and what it means to govern after winning a hard-fought election.

This one was Meta AI - it's a free model and it did a pretty good job. Obviously I am not going to read that and neither will anyone else, but outside of the lack of brevity here it's a decent write up. Well done, Mark. EPISODE TITLE OPTIONSUse one as main title, others as alternates for SEO:One Nation's Immigration Muddle, 18C on Trial, and Tampa 25 Years OnFarley the Throwback, AI Bubble Warnings and the Swans Self-DestructFrom Narrandera to Norway: Immigration, Data Centres and Banning AI in SchoolsThe Two Jacks on Pauline Hanson vs 18C, the UK's Boat Camps and America's Voting MessCocaine Capital, $600 Grams in Perth and a 49ers Billionaire in a Trailer Park StingBloods Culture to Boarding School: Tampa, Tribunals and What Went Wrong at the SwansEPISODE SUMMARYEpisode 170 is a wide-ranging end-of-winter news wrap from Sydney and Hong Kong.Jack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack start with One Nation's confused immigration numbers - David Farley suggesting an intake not far from Labor's, Pauline Hanson unclear on net overseas migration - and ask whether vagueness matters when neither government nor opposition has a clear story either. Farley, the Narrandera-based former Labor aspirant now with One Nation, is singled out as a throwback to old Country Party-style ministers like Doug Anthony, Ian Sinclair and Peter Nixon - rural common sense and real-world experience.The conversation moves to energy and tech. The Albanese government's proposal that new data centres from mid-next year need their own water source and 100% renewable power triggers a debate about global electricity demand. Data centre consumption is projected to double from 460 TWh in 2024 to over 1000 TWh by 2030. The Jacks question small modular nuclear reactors in Australia and warn of an AI investment bubble, with 15% of the S&P 500 now AI-configured and Chinese open-source models undercutting expensive US startups.On law, they unpack Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act. Context is Pauline Hanson's 2022 tweet to Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi telling her to "piss off back to Pakistan" after Faruqi's comments on Queen Elizabeth, which led to a Federal Court finding and a reported $200,000 penalty. Hanson is seeking leave to appeal to the High Court. The Jacks also discuss the White Australia Party's attempt to circumvent hate-group laws linked to the National Socialist Network and ASIO's role, and debate whether repugnant speech should be illegal.Twenty-five years on from the MV Tampa, they revisit the Howard-era response, children overboard, the excision of Christmas Island and other northern territories from the migration zone, and the legacy of mandatory detention introduced under Keating. Hong Kong Jack draws on his ten years on the Refugee Review Tribunal, including a harrowing self-harm incident during a video hearing in Woomera.Internationally: the UK's new camps for unscheduled boat arrivals after the High Court blocked the Rwanda plan, and the problematic Daily Mail reporting of gyms, football pitches and halal-only food; the US Supreme Court allowing state-based moves to restrict mail-in ballots, the stalled SAVE Act requiring birth certificates to vote and its impact on married women, and why America needs an AEC-style independent electoral commission.The Jacks note Norway banning generative AI in primary schools and restricting it in upper years after a decline in reading and writing, and pay tribute to Dolly Parton and the Dollywood Foundation's 325 million books program as a springboard into phonics vs whole-language teaching. Jack the Insider credits his mother and the Whitlam-era disadvantaged schools program for championing phonics.Court and crime: a mistrial in Pennsylvania after a juror allegedly smoked marijuana in the jury room during a murder trial; and Australia's cocaine problem in the context of the Sydney Swans hotel-room scandal. The Jacks discuss the legal risk of supply of a trafficable quantity (15 years in Victoria), self-reporting data suggesting 4% to 11% usage, 1500 possession arrests in the Eastern Suburbs, $600 a gram in Perth creating a Nullarbor business model, and the shift to crystal meth where cocaine is scarce.Sport to close: Italy's Giorgia Meloni becoming the longest-serving PM of the Italian Republic, polling 25-26% for Brothers of Italy as a buffer against the harder right; the Swans culture piece by Andrew Webster - the end of the Bloods self-sacrifice era of Kirk and Kelly, late nights at the Beach Road and Clovelly Hotels, adult entertainment in the team hotel, four-week bans, presumption of innocence, and Nick Blakey demanding a trade to North Melbourne where his father played; NRL - Roosters and Panthers as premiership threats; AFL - Carlton vs Melbourne as a clash of new game plans; cricket - England vs Pakistan at Lord's, Pakistan in disarray, Babar Azam out of form, and whether Marnus Labuschagne should tour South Africa or if he is at the "thanks for your service" stage; and finally the NFL - the San Francisco 49ers CEO caught in a police sting in East Palestine, Ohio, $140 agreed on WhatsApp, no trailer or brothel at the lot, two days jail with credit for time served and $1000 in fines and costs.Next week: listener feedback on booze and upper-middle-class parenting.SHOW NOTES - TOPICS COVEREDAustralian Politics: One Nation immigration policy split between David Farley and Pauline Hanson, net overseas migration confusion, Albanese wedge politics, Opposition property ban for temporary residents, Labor's delayed immigration announcement and refugee intake numbers.Energy and Technology: Data centres in Australia, water and renewable requirements, small-scale nuclear reactors in Russia and China, global power demand, AI bubble vs dotcom bubble, US vs Chinese AI models, S&P 500 exposure.Law and Free Speech: Section 18C - offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate, Pauline Hanson vs Mehreen Faruqi Federal Court decision, High Court leave to appeal process, White Australia Party and National Socialist Network, hate group laws, implied freedom of political communication.Immigration History: 25th anniversary of Tampa, MV Tampa and Captain, Merak and Christmas Island, children overboard, excision of Australian territories, mandatory detention, Woomera, Port Hedland, Villawood and Maribyrnong, Manus Island and Nauru costs.UK and US: UK mandatory processing centres, minibuses, no-document arrivals, security risks and Nick Radev case, Daily Mail coverage; US mail-in ballots, electoral rolls, SAVE Act, automatic voter registration in Oregon/Washington/California, gerrymandering and partisan control, Ross Perot and third-party candidates.Education and Culture: Norway AI ban, iPads in schools, national testing decline, phonics revival in Australia, Dr Seuss, John and Betty readers, Dolly Parton and literacy, scholarships for Year 7 retention.Courts and Drugs: Pennsylvania juror and devil's lettuce mistrial, field sobriety and judge's chambers process, Christian Brothers at St Pat's Ballarat, Sydney Swans scandal and allegations of indecent assault, white powder found, trafficable quantity laws, Australia as highest self-reported cocaine users, Double Bay and Waverley Local Court, cardiac risks.Sport: Swans culture, Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner, Nick Blakey trade to North Melbourne, Andrew Webster SMH column, AFL finals odds Sydney at $34, NRL Warriors Roosters Panthers, Carlton vs Melbourne injuries, England vs Pakistan second Test, Marnus Labuschagne technique and Steve Smith comparison, Ricky Ponting assessment, San Francisco 49ers CEO East Palestine sting.All timestamps below are adjusted by +25 seconds to account for theme music at the top of the episode.TIMESTAMPED HIGHLIGHTS (Adjusted +25s)00:00:25 - Open: End of winter in Sydney and the Highlands, mid-20s, bracing for a stinking hot summer.

Wesley Wright Lighthouse Bible Church Sunday, August 30, 2026 2 Corinthians 11:10-15 Title: True, or false? Paul's boasting in this case (2Co 11:10-12) is tied to his defense of his status as a true apostle. The people have placed Paul in a position where he must distinguish himself from false apostles. Why does Paul keep seeking to distinguish the real apostles from the false ones? He had an obligation to do so, and he wasn't the only apostle who did: 3Jo 1:1-10 The false apostles disguise themselves as apostles of Christ (2 Corinthians 11:13). What are the signs of a true apostle? 1) All of them saw the risen Christ. Act 1:21-26; 1Co 15:3-9 2) All received the gospel directly from Jesus... for full notes: http://www.lbible.org/index.php?proc=msg&sf=vw&tid=1804

What does it really mean for women to have freedom of choice?In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley and Jennifer take on the growing “trad wife” conversation and what it says about feminism, family, work, and modern relationships. They discuss why some younger women are choosing homemaking and raising children over traditional career paths, while also looking at the financial realities and risks that can come with depending on one income.The conversation goes beyond choosing between career and home. Farley and Jennifer talk about the invisible work of parenting, the pressure many women feel to “do it all,” and how social media can make traditional family life look easier and more glamorous than it really is.They also stress the importance of talking openly about money, responsibilities, expectations, and long-term plans before marriage. Later, the episode shifts to Erin Brockovich's efforts to track AI data centers and the environmental concerns surrounding their rapid growth.Episode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(1:48) Top 3 stories of the week(6:19) The return of traditional homemaking(8:44) How generations view work and family(10:14) Social media glamorizes the trad wife life(12:42) Is trad wife culture anti-feminist?(15:33) The pros and risks of financial dependence(16:47) Choosing homemaking without losing independence(19:06) Money, roles, and marriage conversations(20:49) Erin Brockovich takes on AI data centers(24:54) Song of the week(26:44) Appreciation, partnership, and closing thoughts(27:26) OutroSend us Fan MailSupport the showFollow us:Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty

Wesley Wright Lighthouse Bible Church Sunday, August 23, 2026 2Co 11:5-9 Title: The gospel, free of charge Read between the lines - Paul's enemies (2Co 11:5) claimed that he was inferior to another group. He was not at all inferior, remember: 1Co 15:6-11 It's important to note that Paul made it clear that even though he was unskilled in speech, he wasn't inferior in knowledge (2Co 11:6). Both the Greek + Roman cultures prized rhetorical skills, and Paul's writing is up against that backdrop. 2Ti 2:14-18, Col 2:1-9 Being an unimpressive speaker was already a criticism of Paul: 2Co 10:8-11 There are great and dangerous orators both then and now.... for full notes: http://www.lbible.org/index.php?proc=msg&sf=vw&tid=1803

The chilling true story behind the 1993 made-for-TV movie Stalking Laura, also released as I Can Make You Love Me. The film, starring Brooke Shields as Laura Black and Richard Thomas as Richard Farley, dramatizes one of the most disturbing stalking cases of the 1980s. Laura Black was a young computer engineer who was beginning her career in Silicon Valley. What should have been an exciting new chapter quickly became a nightmare when her coworker, Richard Farley, became obsessed with her. Laura repeatedly rejected his advances, but Farley refused to accept that their relationship was strictly professional. His behavior escalated from unwanted attention and gifts to following Laura, obtaining her personal information, threats, harassment, and increasingly frightening acts of intimidation.

On Episode 238, we sat down with actor, writer & filmmaker Kimball Farley to chat about his newest film "Godhead". If you recognize the name, you may have seen Kimball as the lead in the delightfully strange Mark H. Rapaport film "Hippo". In this follow up, "Godhead" follows two twins that think they're prophets who task the local priest with choosing which one lives or dies. Kimball is a true fan of the genre and we get really nerdy and have some of the most fun we've had on this one.

Wesley Wright Lighthouse Bible Church Sunday, August 16, 2026 2Co 11:1-4 Title: A different Jesus Last week, we read that Paul implored readers to listen to him - he had a godly jealousy for them, and they'd already considered other men who had false and selfish motives. In 2Co 11:4, Paul chides his readers for their willingness to hear those who preached a substantially different Jesus than that of the scriptures. In the same way that the readers at Corinth, should have given the false apostles no ear, we should quickly distinguish what's true and what's false, then move accordingly. Jesus Christ warned His listeners about false prophets: Mat 7:15-20 Mark and avoid those whose doctrine is contrary... for full notes: http://www.lbible.org/index.php?proc=msg&sf=vw&tid=1802

What happens when AI stops feeling like a new technology and simply becomes part of everyday life? In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley and Jennifer look at how quickly artificial intelligence is changing the way we work, plan, communicate, learn, and make decisions.They discuss practical ways AI can help with everything from trip planning and meal prep to home design, job searches, fitness, and workplace productivity. They also break down popular AI tools and explain an important difference between bots that respond to questions and AI agents that can actually perform tasks.But convenience comes with real concerns. Farley and Jennifer talk about privacy, misinformation, scams, job disruption, overreliance on technology, and the risk of letting AI replace real human connection. Their message is simple: AI can be a powerful resource, but it should never become the final authority. Stay curious, protect your information, check what you are told, and keep people at the center of the conversation.Episode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(1:00) How AI entered everyday life(6:04) Fact-checking AI-generated social media(6:26) Learning to use AI wisely(13:21) Comparing popular AI tools(20:59) AI bots versus AI agents(22:25) Protecting your personal information(25:44) Practical AI uses at home(30:09) AI changes hiring and resumes(34:17) When AI replaces human connection(36:46) Using AI with greater caution(41:16) Got Grit Award: Canva founders(47:26) OutroSend us Fan MailSupport the showFollow us:Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty

This month on The Found Podcast, we're doing something a little different. We're bringing the boys in for a few episodes (don't worry, we'll be back to our women founders soon), and first up is somebody I've admired for a long time: my friend Ed Raber. Ed is the Director of Planning and Development for Dubuque County here in Eastern Iowa, but honestly, that title barely scratches the surface. Ed is a connector. A mover. The guy with an $8 Staples name badge who has spent thirty years showing up to Rotary, to library meetings, to coffee shops, to whatever room needed one more person willing to raise their hand. We talk about what it actually means to build an entrepreneurial ecosystem in a place like Dubuque County (spoiler: it starts with "no wrong door"), why farm ground and residential zoning matter more than you'd think, and the advice from a pastor that has shaped Ed's entire career: if you want to make a difference, you've got to stick with it. What You'll Hear Ed's path from urban planner to nonprofit economic developer to Dubuque County's Planning and Development Director Why he still wears a name badge everywhere he goes (and why you should too) What makes Dubuque County's rural population unlike almost anywhere else in Iowa The "no wrong door" philosophy behind a healthy entrepreneurial ecosystem How 1 Million Cups came to Dubuque and why it works The Farley library project that started with one meeting Ed called himself Ed's answer to The Found Podcast's closing question, and the pastor's advice that changed how he shows up in the world Resources & Links Mentioned 1 Million Cups Dubuque Rotary International HACAP (Hawkeye Area Community Action Program) Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation Iowa Rural Development Council Dubuque County Library system (Farley, Epworth, Peosta, Holy Cross) Community Vitality Center, Iowa State University Small Business Development Center, Dubuque The Innovation Lab, Jones Street, Dubuque Connect with Ed Find Ed on LinkedIn Listen and Subscribe Spotify Apple Podcasts Share This Episode If this episode reminded you to go order your own name badge, or hyped you up to finally show up to that thing you've been putting off... send it to a friend who needs the nudge.
