DAMTT: Feeling Lucky! by Alternative Talk- 1150AM KKNW

Episode: 2025.11. 21The Living Full Out Show with Nancy Solari reminds you that even if the stakes are high, so is your potential. Perhaps you've been counting losses, and they seem endless. Maybe your hesitation is costing you more than the risk ever could. Join Nancy as she teaches you that it's less about beating the odds and more so rewriting them.Our first caller, Keadra, wants to know how someone with vision challenges can redefine their goals and daily routines to feel empowered and independent. Nancy encourages Keadra to “celebrate that there are tools that can help”, suggesting apps and other resources that Keadra can use. Tune in to learn how to embrace challenges and hold your ground in the face of adversity. Our inspirational guest, Darla Christensen, has used her scars as fuel to protect and inspire others. Growing up in a violent household with two older siblings, Darla became all too familiar with fear. After one especially brutal beating from her dad for breaking a house rule, she told her mother she was “done,” and the family left her abusive father behind. Her journey eventually took her to Las Vegas, where she built a new life. Tune in to hear her personal story of working security during the devastating 2017 Route 91 Harvest music festival shooting, and how that night changed the course of her life. Perhaps your chips are low, and the game seems to be almost over. Maybe the dealer has changed, therefore, your courage has too. Try to remember it's less about the cards in your hand, but more so how you play them. By realizing the biggest gamble is refusing to play at all, you can start counting lessons in between your losses and live full out.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/living-full-out-show--1474350/support.

I det 406:e avsnittet blickar Hans och Patrik tillbaka på tiden då man faktiskt visste vad en boolesk sökning var – och kanske till och med använde en. Det blir ett samtal om hur våra sökvanor förändrats i takt med AI:s framfart, och hur vi kanske blivit sämre på att söka. De pratar också om Googles nya logga, AI-läge istället för "I'm Feeling Lucky", och om Grok verkligen sprider konspirationsteorier – eller om vi bara inte vet vad som händer i den svarta lådan. Dessutom: 50-plussare som mår bra av internet, tidningar som vill bli lyssnade på, och ett par verktyg som inte tar sig själva på för stort allvar. Patrik sammanfattar Skolriksdagen och det blir en diskussion om Skolverkets utmaningar, digitala prov och varför digitala initiativ verkar hamna i papperskorgen. Som vanligt är det mesta sig likt då samtalet handlar om skola, digitalisering och lite annat.

Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 7 game Jon Hoefling USA TODAY At 2-4, the Cincinnati Bengals have been one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL, but they haven't been nearly as disappointing as Deshaun Watson has been for the Cleveland Browns. Despite boasting a remarkable defense and a group of solid players on offense (even after sending Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills), the Browns have a 1-5 record and virtually no hope of crawling out of the AFC North's basement. While a win over Cincinnati this weekend would move Cleveland to third in the division, that's a very hollow victory for a team that reached the playoffs with Joe Flacco at quarterback a season ago. For Cleveland, this is a battle for pride, something to help keep their heads held high. Sadly, the best-case scenario might be a humiliating defeat that forces Kevin Stefanski to replace Watson with Jameis Winston at quarterback. Here are our experts' predictions for this Week 7 showdown. Browns vs. Bengals odds, moneyline, over/under The Bengals are favorites to defeat the Browns, according to the BetMGM NFL odds.

Join us for an engaging episode featuring Alpesh Patel, as he shares his unique journey and insights into overcoming societal expectations, cultural challenges, and achieving success on his own terms. Alpesh is a 50-year-old, Indian, gay man who opens up about his upbringing and the lack of role models who looked like him. He was expected to follow a traditional path of marriage and children, but his life has taken a different turn. His blunt nature, while sometimes off-putting to others, is a key trait that has helped him navigate who he is. Growing up, Alpesh faced immense pressure to excel academically. His parents drilled into him the importance of studying hard, which eventually led to his mum kicking him out of the house. Did that help or hinder Alpesh? He, found himself in Brighton, studying in a predominantly white environment. Initially feeling out of place, he quickly embraced the diversity and challenges, finding his stride and loving the experience that gave him so many of the skills and confidence he has today to embrace who he is. Alpesh's career was driven by a relentless pursuit of being the best. Starting as a part-time sales employee while at university, he climbed the ranks to become a top salesperson, manager, and area manage and beyond. His motivation was clear: to be number one and earn as much money to live the life he wanted to. His journey has led him to entrepreneurship, opening a zero-waste shop in Hackney Wick. Throughout his life, Alpesh has learned the importance of empathy and understanding different perspectives. He advises against quick judgments and emphasises listening to others' experiences to create a more inclusive and less polarised world. Tune in to hear Alpesh Patel's candid reflections on his life, career, and the lessons he's learned along the way. His journey is filled with laughter, challenges, and insights into what it means to stay true to yourself and succeed when you go against the grain of expectation and become yourself.

I was at Internet World launching RealNames to the world. RealNames invented paid clicks on keywords. Our first partner was AltaVista, and Google was our second—calling the feature "I'm Feeling Lucky."It was the simplest technology ever. We had a keyword, bought by a customer. An example might be Disney buying "Bambi." They would buy it in every country and language they wanted and point it to a specific URL in each place. Search engines would look at the keywords you typed in (later browsers too) and if RealNames had it as a paid keyword, they would send the user to the site, with no search results. Just a direct navigation. RealNames got paid for the customer sent.At the launch, we used the example of the keyword “Bambi” to show how superior our keywords were compared to domain names. In those days, Bambi.com pointed to a porn site. Our launch demo showed that typing "Bambi" went to Disney, but typing "Bambi.com" did not. All was well except we altered our network settings the eve of the launch, and when we demoed the use of "Bambi" at the launch, it (you can guess) went to the porn site.Journalists wrote about RealNames as a scam and bad actors.Luckily, we had great partners, and within 12 hours the network issue was fixed, and all was well. But for 24 hours, I felt like the world was collapsing around me. On the one hand, we launched our company, mostly to great acclaim; on the other, we were being destroyed in the tech media.Sam, I know how this week must have felt. Your decision to pull the ‘Sky' voice was right. And despite the horrors of the first 24 hours, this will pass.That said, you mismanaged this entire thing. I'm sure you acted in good faith in wanting to embrace the “Her” meme. It is a good idea. And ‘Sky' was a good effort.It seems clear you had spoken to Scarlett Johansson and failed to reach an agreement. I'm prepared to believe you could not react fast enough to change the voice prior to the demo.But once it went awry, you needed to do more than wait for a legal challenge before pulling it, and you needed to say something before the actress. Not doing so means that many people, probably most, think you did the entire thing on purpose.Clearly, you did not preconceive this. If you did, then the fact that you were happy to pull the voice, and your knowledge that the actress was not prepared to have her voice used, would have stopped you before it got as far as it did. You would be very reckless to have thought you could get away with using a voice like hers without her permission.So, you need to either go on the record and get this behind you or ignore it and hope it goes away. I think now we have ‘ScarJo' as a word, the latter might prove difficult.Best Regards,Keith (A fellow Founder)Beyond ScarJo there are some great essays this week. Pack McCormick writes about why AI will lead to more jobs and bigger companies. In framing his case he says”Technologies are tools. I don't mean that in the normal way that people mean it to say that technology is neither good nor bad.Tools are good.Humans can build better things with tools than they can without them.But tools aren't the point. They're tools.Tools lead to new possibilities and those lead to new endeavors. Read his essay below.And a team made up of @KamalVC, @VaradanMonisha, @Claudiazeisberg have penned an essay called ‘The Pervasive, Head-Scratching, Risk-Exploding Problem With Venture Capital'. The main thesis is about investing in private companies versus public companies. They have a great graphic showing that the range of outcomes in Venture Capital is very wide compared to other asset classes:Venture Capital's top percentiles out-perform other asset classes, but most do not. The safest asset class is global equity (public company stock).Building on this they show that large Venture investors that invest across 500 or more companies can compete with less risky assets by diversification.This depicts a simulation of a manager doing 15 deals, compared to 500 and shows more deals equals less risk.I recommend reading the full piece, linked in the contents above and the headline below. I think they are right, but there is a better way of derisking. The advice they give below is better than traditional venture capital, but that is a low bar:To de-risk venture capital, CIOs simply need to acknowledge that VC math is different from public markets math. The importance of low-probability, excess-return-generating investments means that proper diversification requires a portfolio of at least 500 startups.It will take work to assemble such a portfolio. It is hard to do by investing directly. Current funds and funds-of-funds are rarely designed with diversification in mind. Instead, they concentrate funding in a small subset of ultra-popular entrepreneurs, sectors, and geographies, which risks driving down returns on capital, leaving higher-return strategies underfunded.Investors who allocate and diversify their funds wisely and accept the evidence will not only achieve better and less-volatile returns, but will also ultimately nudge GPs to finally design diversified funds.In my day job - also about de-risking venture - we use AI to reduce risk, removing companies that are highly unlikely to be successful. The remaining companies (about 7% of the full set of venture backed companies) out-perform the market in a narrower band of outcomes:Here is how the SignalRank Index compares to the S&P500 and the NASDAQ. We assume an investor puts $1 into the S&P, the NASDAQ and The SignalRank Index in each year from 2014-2019 and then show the returns from each (average and median in the case of SignalRank).The median outcome from venture investments is that the investor loses money. The average is a lot better. But almost no managers achieve the average. By using AI to reduce risk we get the average outcome in 2014 to be 4.31x the investment (the white numbers), compared to the S&P500 1.39 and the NASDAQ 1.89. SignalRanks Median outcome is 2.24.De-risking venture capital is important and the writers of the essay show that it is possible to de-risk by diversification. But we can do even better by both diversifying and using data intelligence to remove downside outliers.I will leave you with that thought. More next week This is a public episode.

I think it's fair to claim that this week's Happy Half Hour guest is the most special visitor we've ever had on the podcast (which is saying something): Jason Mraz, the two-time Grammy Award–winning singer and songwriter who has gone platinum and multi-platinum in more than 20 countries. His tune “I'm Yours” also surpassed one billion streams on Spotify and was the most-streamed song by a solo artist in the naughts. His eighth album, Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride, dropped last June. In other words, he's kind of a big deal. Mraz lives in North County's greater Fallbrook area, where he runs Mraz Family Farms, providing companies like Chipotle with a steady stream of San Diego County–grown avocados (and providing this podcast with great talking points). In addition to chatting about his coffee farm and avocado-growing prowess, Mraz shines a light on his upcoming Kaleidoscope community concert, which will take place at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, on Saturday, February 17 at 7 p.m and on Sunday at 3 p.m. Tickets will be available via JasonMraz.com this Friday, December 15th at 10 a.m. PT. Mraz will hit the stage alongside performers from eight local arts organizations: A Step Beyond Dancers, Banding Together, Diversionary Theatre, Monarch School Project, San Diego Young Artist Music Academy, Tap Fever Studios, Tierra Caliente Academy of Arts, and Wheelchair Dancers. They're all beneficiaries of grants from The Jason Mraz Foundation, which is dedicated to improving access to the arts for kids. It's a cause close to Mraz's heart for obvious reasons, considering his long, successful career in the arts. We recap it all—the open mic performance that launched his career (which Troy almost missed in favor of a punk show), the Dave Matthews endorsement that helped catapult him to fame, and, of course, his fan-favorite turn on Dancing with the Stars. “Over the past few months, I pushed myself creatively, and physically more than I have in decades,” Mraz says of his time on the show. “I revisited what it was like to be a beginner in the performing arts, to immerse myself in something completely new, finding strength, joy, self-acceptance, and pride as I learned and grew every week.” And Mraz isn't the only one experiencing growth. We offer reports from the front of San Diego's ever-expanding restaurant scene: First of all, a hell of a lot of fried chicken is coming to town. South Korean Fried Fave BHC Chicken will open in Sorrento Valley and Dave's Hot Chicken will open its sixth location in Mission Valley. Plus, tapas and small grower wine spot Finca launched in North Park with a crew formerly from Juniper & Ivy, and Priscilla Curiel will open Mujer Divina on Chula Vista's Third Avenue. See you next week! More information on the Jason Mraz Foundation: https://jasonmraz.com/foundation/ https://www.instagram.com/jasonmrazfoundation/ https://www.facebook.com/JasonMrazFoundation/

Monte Carlo and Las Vegas have become synonymous with casino gambling. Both destinations featured it as part of a broad variety of leisure and consumption opportunities that normalized games of chance and created emotional atmospheres that supported the hedonistic aspects of gambling. Urban spaces and architecture were carefully designed to enable a rapid growth of the casino industry and produce experiences on previous unimaginable scale.  Feeling Lucky: The Production of Gambling Experiences in Monte Carlo and Las Vegas (Palgrave Macmillan, 2023) is a "making of" story about cities which acquired a strange and captivating allure of mystery around them. It is more than a mere descriptive account, however. Combining urban history, the history of consumption, and sociological approaches it presents a compelling comparative history of Monte Carlo and the Las Vegas Strip between the 1860s and 1970s. Paul Franke takes the reader on a journey from arriving at the cities, through the carefully planned urban environments and into the famous casinos. The analysis follows the paths contemporary gamblers would have taken, right to the gambling tables and to the shifting gambling practices across a century. Franke shows that casino entrepreneurs succeeded in producing and selling gambling experiences by controlling spaces, adapt leisure practices and appeal to specific markets. Gamblers on the other hand regarded Monte Carlo and Las Vegas as places to engage in games of chance that would allow them to preserve their political, cultural, and moral identities. Shu Wan is currently matriculated as a doctoral student in history at the University at Buffalo.

Does telling yourself you live a charmed life work? Does feeling lucky bring on more of that? Katie doesn't think it's useful metric, and in this edition of Doing What Works she explains why.Here are your show notes…We got the idea for a show about luck from George Mack.There's a podcast about Billy Joel's “We Didn't Start the Fire.”A What Color Is Your Parachute? workshop was a class on making a life transition.The Law of Attraction was the basis for The Secret.Is the Universe hostile or friendly? Albert Einstein thought that's the most important question.Jordan Ellenberg is the author of How Not to Be Wrong.Thomas Jefferson is quoted as saying the harder he works, the luckier he gets.Earl Nightingale is quoted as saying luck is what happens when preparedness meets opportunity. Alex Lickerman talks about indestructible happiness in his book, The Undefeated Mind.

“I am grateful for everything I have. But for me, feeling lucky is a lot more animated and holds a lot more curiosity and open-mindedness to opportunity and possibility.”   This is a special episode only available to our podcast subscribers, which we call The Mini Chief.
