Send us a text2025 has been a year of relentless waves — uncertainty, upheaval, and unexpected turns.In this episode, co-hosts Belinda Liu and Omar Brownson are joined again by Dr. Paul Wang to explore how Daoist seasonal wisdom can guide us through noisy, volatile times.Together, they reflect on the transition into the metal season in Chinese cosmology, represented by autumn — a time of discernment, boundaries, and filtering out noise so we can hear the deeper signal of what truly matters.From the symbolism of sound and silence to the lessons of animals, oceans, and plants, the conversation reveals how remembrance, grace, and inner stillness help us navigate change.The Gratitude Blooming card they draw — the Poppy (Remembrance) — invites us to pause, honor what we want to sustain, and release what no longer serves.

In this episode of Tank Talks, we're joined by Gaurav Jain, co-founder of Afore Capital, one of the earliest and most respected players in the pre-seed investing space. Gaurav shares how growing up in a small town in India, moving to Canada, and working at Blackberry, Amazon, and Google helped him understand the value of momentum, iteration, and building products that truly matter.He walks us through how a random dinner at Harvard led to meeting his future co-founder, how they built Afore around the belief that the best founders are often overlooked too early, and why the firm exclusively focuses on investing before there's a product or sometimes even an idea.Gaurav dives into what makes a great founder at the earliest stage, why he believes momentum is the only moat, and how the rise of AI has only accelerated opportunities for young, technical entrepreneurs to build enduring companies with less capital. He also opens up about the firm's "Founder-in-Residence" and "UTransfer" programs, his view on the Canadian tech scene, and the power of bespoke, high-conviction investing.We explore:* Why is momentum the only true moat in early-stage startups?* Can pre-seed investing still deliver alpha now that it's crowded?* Is seed-strapping the future of venture capital?* How do you identify founders before they've found their idea?* What happens when you give 19-year-olds the capital to build?Building a Pre-Seed Fund Before “Pre-Seed” Was a Thing (00:03:54)* Interning globally to chase experience and perspective* The turning point: joining Founder Collective* Meeting co-founder Anamitra through a lucky dinner at Foundation Capital* Launching Afore in 2016 to fill the pre-seed voidFounder Empathy & Early-Stage VC Lessons (00:08:17)* Mistakes from being a first-time founder* Learning that exits don't matter, products and pain points do* Why Canadian angel advice focused too much on sales, not software* Why product-led growth is a must-have, not a nice-to-haveThe 10,000 Coffees Rule of Venture (00:11:27)* How judgment is built: time, exposure, and repetition* Why investing based on ideas (not teams) is a rookie mistake* Filtering “this could work” vs. “this must work”* The real constraint in VC: time, not capitalAfore's Mission: Investing Before the Idea (00:15:00)* The “Too Early” problem founders face and why Afore exists* How FIR (Founder in Residence) and Transfer University fund ideation* Building a support system, not a portfolio of call options* Why being idea-stage isn't a red flag, it's a sign of ambitionConvincing LPs That Pre-Seed Was Real (00:19:19)* LP skepticism: “Isn't this just the bad deals no one else wants?”* How talking to founders not seed managers won over investors* Working with PitchBook and Crunchbase to split out pre-seed data* Making pre-seed visible helped founders self-identify and alignSeed-Strapping and the Rise of Efficient Startups (00:24:00)* How AI-native startups are hitting $1M ARR 2x faster* Case study: Gamma's hypergrowth on ultra-low burn* Why founders can delay growth rounds longer than ever* Capital efficiency is now a competitive edgeMomentum Is the Only Moat (00:26:07)* How Android's rise taught Gaurav speed = survival* Lessons from RIM's downfall: never rest on product laurels* Why the AI era is reshaping iteration timelines* Pre-seed startups now move at the speed of launches, not quartersPivot-as-a-Service in the AI World (00:34:16)* FIR teams pivoting from speech therapy to CX platforms* Younger founders = more raw talent, less domain bias* Startups pivoting every 6–8 weeks—and why that's healthy* Embracing pivots as a feature, not a flawScaling Afore with Purpose (00:35:21)* Fund IV, $500M+ AUM, and 150+ companies later* Why concentrated portfolios beat spray-and-pray* The dangers of being too dogmatic on stage or valuation* Supporting breakout talent like Neo, Gamma, and BenchGlobal Perspective: Canada's Role in Venture (00:41:19)* Why Canada produces world-class engineering talent* The upside and limits of building in the North* Hybrid models: Canada for R&D, U.S. for GTM* Afore's belief in serving Canadian founders, wherever they buildFailure may define most early-stage startups, but for Gaurav Jain, the real story starts before the pitch, before the product, even before the idea.

Chris Robinson, Executive Vice President of Maxwell Leadership, shares his powerful framework for breaking out of business complacency in his new book "From Drift to Drive." He reveals how successful entrepreneurs often drift into "careless security" where they stop doing the things that made them successful in the first place. Chris outlines his seven-step process to help business owners regain clarity, build community, and take intentional action toward their goals.  Key Takeaways Complacency isn't laziness - it's "careless security" where you become comfortable and stop sharpening the skills that got you where you are Start with clarity - consistently ask yourself "What do I want?" because your goals should evolve as you grow Align your daily actions with your annual goals - check if your weekly to-do list matches what you said you wanted at the beginning of the year Community beats competition - surrounding yourself with like-minded people opens more doors than trying to protect your "secrets" About Chris Robinson Chris Robinson is the Executive Vice President of Maxwell Leadership and author of From Drift to Drive. He leads the global expansion of the Maxwell Leadership Certified Team, a premier community of coaches, speakers, and trainers developed by Dr. John C. Maxwell.  With over two decades of experience, Chris specializes in equipping leaders across industries with the skills and mindset for meaningful impact. Known for his authentic approach and dynamic speaking style, he highlights the dangers of "success-induced complacency" and offers strategies for sustained excellence.  As a dedicated coach and lifelong learner, Chris inspires professionals to transform comfortable success into purposeful growth, empowering them to maximize their potential and make a lasting difference.

And so if we can take what we're good at and we can really begin to go back and sharpen that, hone that like we did in order to build that skill set, then we can start reaching towards our potential." - Chris Robinson ”Every single time, Ryan, that you've been crystal clear on what it is that you want, you've got it every single time." - Chris Robinson "You don't have to do this business alone. There's communities you can plug into. There's guides you can plug into. You don't have to make this all up." - Chris Robinson "Any success that I've achieved, it's because I haven't been afraid to build community and build a relationship with people that are doing the exact same thing as me." - Ryan Koral "My goal for this book is to awaken the unknowingly complacent to help them get going, reignited, and back on track to where they want to go." - Chris Robinson Guest Links Find Chris Robinson website | eSpeakers Find Maxwell Leadership website | Facebook | YouTube Follow Chris Robinson on Facebook  Connect with Chris Robinson on LinkedIn From Drift to Drive: A High Achiever's Guide to Breaking the Chains of Complacency, by Chris Robinson Get Your Free Complacency Assessment Profile Links FREE Workshop Available "How to Consistently Earn Over $100k Per Year in Video Production While Working Less Than 40 Hours Per Week" Join the Grow Your Video Business Facebook Group  Follow Ryan Koral on Instagram Follow Grow Your Video Business on Instagram Check out the full show notes

Remember Van Halen's famous "no brown M&Ms" rider clause? It wasn't because they were divas - it was a genius test to make sure venues actually read their contract. I've borrowed this concept to create my own screening system for podcast guest pitches.With 4-8 pitches hitting my inbox daily (and most being AI-generated garbage), I needed a better way to separate serious guests from spray-and-pray agencies. In this episode, I share the exact screening question I use that instantly reveals whether someone actually researched my show or just copy-pasted a ChatGPT template.I'll also share some real examples of terrible pitches I've received (spoiler: one agency sent me the SAME pitch twice for different shows), plus the simple criteria that save me hours each week in pitch evaluation.What you'll learn:Why Van Halen's M&Ms clause was brilliant (and life-saving)My specific screening question that AI can't fakeReal examples of hilariously bad AI-generated pitchesThe exact criteria I give to agencies to stop wasting my timeHow this system helped me find amazing guests like Jackie Schiff and Elizabeth HowellRead the full articleWhat's your "Brown M&Ms test"?

Why do we instinctively add when the better answer might be less?In this episode of the Truth Works Podcast, we sit down with Leidy Klotz—behavioral scientist, engineer, and author of Subtract—to explore why subtraction is one of the most underused tools in problem-solving, design, and even life itself. From ancient architecture to modern innovation, Leidy unpacks the hidden bias that keeps us adding complexity instead of removing it.We dive into how this instinct shapes everything from personal decisions to global policy, and how changing it could transform the way we think, create, and lead.If you're addicted to doing more, building more, and thinking more—this episode might just shift your perspective forever.Topics:1. Subtraction for solutions: Using subtraction to improve outcomes, inspired by a Lego bridge.2. Default to adding: Humans add to show competence, like bowerbirds building nests.3. Bureaucratic over-addition: Excessive additions cause inefficiency, e.g., 60 sign-offs.4. Effective subtraction: Cases like Capital One task removal, PBS dropping reviews.5. Friction reduction via subtraction: Simplifying processes, e.g., Google's interview limit.6. Netflix's subtraction strategy: Spinning off DVDs to focus on streaming.7. Cutting meetings: Reducing meetings, e.g., Stanford's quarterly shift, Asana's reset.8. Subtraction challenges for juniors: Early-career struggle to subtract, need subtle work display.9. Environment shaping behavior: How environments impact competence, connection, agency.10. Reducing cognitive load: Filtering info, questioning outdated mental models.

This episode covers parameter files, data selection, filtering, and transformation, providing essential insights for managing GoldenGate deployments.   Oracle GoldenGate 23ai: Fundamentals: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ou/course/oracle-goldengate-23ai-fundamentals/145884/237273 Oracle University Learning Community: https://education.oracle.com/ou-community LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/oracle-university/ X: https://x.com/Oracle_Edu   Special thanks to Arijit Ghosh, David Wright, Kris-Ann Nansen, Radhika Banka, and the OU Studio Team for helping us create this episode. --------------------------------------------------------------- Podcast Transcript: 00:00 Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast, the first stop on your cloud journey. During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Lois: Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs with Oracle University, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services.  Nikita: Hi everyone! This is the last episode in our Oracle GoldenGate 23ai series. Previously, we looked at how you can manage Extract Trails and Files. If you missed that episode, do go back and give it a listen.  00:50 Lois: Today, Nick Wagner, Senior Director of Product Management for GoldenGate, is back on the podcast to tell us about parameters, data selection, filtering, and transformation. These are key components of GoldenGate because they allow us to control what data is replicated, how it's transformed, and where it's sent. Hi Nick! Thanks for joining us again. So, what are the different types of parameter files? Nick: We have a GLOBALS parameter file and your runtime parameter files. The global one is going to affect all processes within a deployment. It's going to be things like where's your checkpoint table located in name, things like the heartbeat table. You want to have a single one of these across your entire deployment, so it makes sense to keep it within a single file. We also have runtime parameter files. This are going to be associated with a specific extract or replicat process. These files are located in your OGG_ETC_HOME/conf/ogg. The GLOBALS file is just simply named GLOBALS and all capitals, and your parameter file names for the processes themselves are named with the process.prm. So if my extract process is EXT demo, my parameter file name will be extdemo.prm. When you make changes to parameter files, they don't take effect until the process is restarted. So in the case of a GLOBALS parameter file, you need to restart the administration service. And in a runtime parameter file, you need to restart that specific process before any changes will take effect. We also have what we call a managed process setting profile. And this allows you to set up auto restart profiles for each process. And the GoldenGate Gate classic architecture, this was contained within the GLOBALS parameter file and handled by the manager. And microservices is a little bit different, it's handled by the service manager itself. But now we actually set up profiles. 02:41 Nikita: Ok, so what can you tell us about the extract parameter file specifically?  Nick: There's a couple things within the extract parameter file is common use. First, we want to tell what the group name is. So in this case, it would be our extract name. We need to put in information on where the extract process is going to be writing the data it captures to and that would be our trail files, and extract process can write to one or more trail files. We also want to list out the list of tables and schemas that we're going to be capturing, as well as any kind of DDL changes. If we're doing an initial load, we want to set up the SQL predicate to determine which tables are being captured and put a WHERE clause on those to speed up performance. We can also do filtering within the extract process as well. So we write just the information that we need to the trail file. 03:27 Nikita: And what are the common parameters within an extract process? Nick: There are a couple of common parameters within your extract process. We have table to list out the list of tables that GoldenGate is going to be capturing from. These can be wildcarded. So I can simply do table.star and GoldenGate will capture all the tables in that database. I can also do schema.star and it will capture all the tables within a schema. We have our EXTTRAIL command, which tells GoldenGate which trail to write to. If I want to filter out certain rows and columns, I can use the filter cols and cols except parameter. GoldenGate can also capture sequence changes. So we would use the sequence parameter. And then we can also set some high-level database options for GoldenGate that affect all the tables and that's configured using the tranlog options parameter.  04:14 Lois: Nick, can you talk a bit about the different types of tranlogoptions settings? How can they be used to control what the extract process does? Nick: So one of the first ones is ExcludeTag. So GoldenGate has the ability to exclude tagged transactions. Within the database itself, you can actually specify a transaction to be tagged using a DBMS set tag option. GoldenGate replicat also sets its transactions with a tag so that the GoldenGate process knows which transactions were done by the replicat and it can exclude them automatically. You can do exclude tag with a plus. That simply means to exclude any transaction that's been tagged with any value. You can also exclude specific tags.  Another good option for TranLogOptions is enable procedural replication. This allows GoldenGate to actually capture and replicate database procedure calls, and this would be things like DBMS AQ, NQ operations, or DQ operations. So if you're using Oracle advanced queuing and you need GoldenGate to replicate those changes, it can.  Another valuable tranlogoption setting is enable auto capture. Within the Oracle Database, you can actually set ALTER TABLE command that says ALTER TABLE, enable logical replication. Or when you create a table, you can actually do CREATE TABLE statement and at the end use the enable logical replication option for that CREATE TABLE statement. And this tells GoldenGate to automatically capture that table. One of the nice features about this is that I don't need to specify that table and my parameter file, and it'll automatically enable supplemental logging on that table for me using scheduling columns. So it makes it very easy to set up replication between Oracle databases.  06:01 Nikita: Can you tell us about replicat parameters, Nick? Nick: Within a replicat, we'll have the group name, some common other parameters that we'll use is a mapping parameter that allows us to map the source to target table relationships. We can do transformation within the replicat, as well as error handling and controlling group operations to improve performance. Some common replicat parameters include the replicat parameter itself, which tells us what the name of that replicat is. We have our map statement, which allows us to map a source object to a target object. We have things like rep error that control how to handle errors. Insert all records allows us to change and convert, update, and delete operations into inserts. We can do things like compare calls, which helps with active-active replication in determining which columns are used in the GoldenGate WHERE clause. We also have the ability to use macros and column mapping to do additional transformation and make the parameter file look elegant. 07:07 AI is being used in nearly every industry…healthcare, manufacturing, retail, customer service, transportation, agriculture, you name it! And it's only going to get more prevalent and transformational in the future. It's no wonder that AI skills are the most sought-after by employers.

Head on over to mylearn.oracle.com to find out more. 07:47 Nikita: Welcome back! Let's move on to some of the most interesting topics within GoldenGate… data mapping, selection, and transformation. As I understand, users can do pretty cool things with GoldenGate. So Nick, let's start with how GoldenGate can manipulate, change, and map data between two different databases. Nick: The map statement within a Replicat parameter allows you to provide specifications on how you're going to map source and target objects. You can also use a map and an extract, but it's pretty rare. And that would be used if you needed to write the object name. Inside the trail files is a different name than the actual object name that you're capturing from. GoldenGate can also do different data selection, mapping, and manipulation, and this is all controlled within the Extract and Replicat parameter files. In the classic architecture of GoldenGate, you could do a rudimentary level of transformation and filtering within the extract pump. Now, the distribution service is only allowing you to do filtering. Any transformation that you had within the pump would need to be moved to the Extract or the Replicat process.  The other thing that you can do within GoldenGate is select and filter data based on different levels and conditions. So within your parameter clause, you have your Table and Map statement. That's the core of everything. You have your filtering. You have COLS and COLSEXCEPT, which allow you to determine which columns you're going to include or exclude from replication. The Table and Map statement works at the table level. The FILTER works at the row level. And COLS and COLSEXCEPTs works at the column level. We also have the ability to filter by operation type too. So GoldenGate has some very easy parameters called GitInserts, GitUpdates, GitDeletes, and conversely ignore updates, ignore deletes, ignore inserts. And that will affect the operation type. 09:40 Lois: Nick, are there any features that GoldenGate provides to make data replication easier? Nick: The first thing is that GoldenGate is going to automatically match your source and target column names with a parameter called USEDEFAULTS. You can specify it inside of your COLMAP clause, but again, it's a default, so you don't need to worry about it. We also handle all data type and character set conversion. Because we store the metadata in the trail, we know what that source data type is like. When we go to apply the record to the target table, the Replicat process is going to look up the definition of that record and keep a repository of that in memory. So that when it knows that, hey, this value coming in from the trail file is going to be of a date data type, and then this value in the target database is going to be a character data type, it knows how to convert that date to a character, and it'll do it for you. Most of the conversion is going to be done automatically for data types. Things where we don't do automatic data type conversion is if you're using abstract data types or user-defined data types, collections arrays, and then some types of CLOB operations. For example, if you're going from a BLOB to a JSON, that's not really going to work very well. Character set conversion is also done automatically. It's not necessarily done directly by GoldenGate, but it's done by the database engine. So there is a character set value inside that source database.  And when GoldenGate goes to apply those changes into the target system, it's ensuring that that character set is visible and named so that that database can do the necessary translation. You can also do advanced filtering transformation. There's tokens that you can attach from the source environment, database, or records into a record itself on the trail file. And then there's also a bunch of metadata that GoldenGate can use to attach to the record itself. And then of course, you can use data transformation within your COLMAP statement. 11:28 Nikita: Before we wrap up, what types of data transformations can we perform, Nick?  Nick: So there's quite a few different data transformations. We can do constructive or destructive transformation, aesthetic, and structural. 11:39 Lois: That's it for the Oracle GoldenGate 23ai: Fundamentals series. I think we covered a lot of ground this season. Thank you, Nick, for taking us through it all.  Nikita: Yeah, thank you so much, Nick.

What does it take to spend more of your time creating real impact...That's the central question we're exploring in our Journey Management Playbook series.In the last episode, we did something pretty amazing: we took a pile of raw data and, with a click of a button, watched AI generate a structured journey map in a matter of minutes.I'll admit even though I was a bit skeptical to start with, this felt pretty magical.But the truth is that this first draft is just the beginning.As you have hopefully seen, an AI-generated journey gives you an incredible head start, but it's not yet something you should bet your business on. So, how do you move from this first draft to a decision-making tool you can truly trust? How do you make it yours?That's exactly where we're going in Episode 4. This is the essential next step.Once again, Tingting and I roll up our sleeves and show you the practical, step-by-step process of:Prioritizing what to tackle first, so you don't get overwhelmed.Verifying AI-generated insights to build confidence.Enriching the journey using properties to add depth.Using filters to focus on what matters most.As you'll see, we're now entering the areas where the power of modern AI-driven journey management truly comes alive. There's still a lot of work for us to do, but AI allows us to focus our time on the areas where we can add the most value.Just like in the previous episodes, we're diving deep inside TheyDo with a lot of screen sharing.

In this heartfelt and hilariously real episode of Life Check Yourself, I'm joined by my longtime friend and soul sister Bobbi Palmer. Bobbi became a first-time bride at 47, is now divorced, and back in the dating game at 66—this time with more confidence, peace, and joy than ever. She's a nationally recognized dating coach for women over 40, and in this conversation, we dive into the TRUTH about what dating looks like when you're grown, wise, and absolutely done with BS. Whether you're single, newly divorced, or wondering if it's “too late” for you (spoiler: it's not), this episode will have you laughing, crying, and most importantly—believing again.

I have spoken frequently on this podcast about the power of therapy and why it can help with resilience and trauma, but I understand that a lot of people who have never done it are often blocked from trying because they just don't know what to expect.That is why this is a very different and special episode of Challenges That Change Us.We have brought back our in house psychologist Vanessa De Sauty to demonstrate what an actual therapy session looks like.In this episode I'll be in the patients seat and working through things with Vanessa so you can get a real idea of what to expect. In this episode we share: - What the counselling process actually is- The repercussions of withdrawing from relationships to ‘protect yourself'- The challenge of reconnecting and asking for help- That I am able to show up in the thick of adversity but not when it passes- Filtering this through a CBT lens and finding strategies to work on- The core beliefs that happen on childhood that could lead to patterns in behaviour- Cognitive flexibility and strengthening underused mental muscles Key Quotes “ I feel like I'm pulling from an empty bucket and I don't actually have anything to offer or give to other people.” VanessaTo find out more about Vanessa, check out her website HERE.

Send us a textThe five senses serve as gateways to our souls, directly influencing our spiritual formation and relationship with God. In this powerful exploration of sensory stewardship, we examine how Christians can guard what enters their lives through their eyes, ears, minds, mouths, and actions.Our increasingly desensitized culture presents unique challenges for believers trying to maintain spiritual purity. From music with suggestive lyrics to casual profanity in everyday conversation, we face constant pressure to accept what God has called us to reject. The discussion provides practical wisdom on establishing healthy boundaries while maintaining gospel witness in environments where ungodly communication is normalized.Scripture illuminates this conversation throughout, with powerful insights from Romans 10:17 on how "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." This divine command to hear rightly shapes our understanding of spiritual receptivity. Similarly, the biblical warnings about our speech—that we will give account for every idle word—serves as a sobering reminder of how seriously God takes our communication.Perhaps most compelling is the honest vulnerability shared about personal struggles with speech. As one speaker confesses, "I have failed with my words," we're reminded that spiritual growth is a process requiring humility and divine grace. The vivid analogy that our words can either be "fertilizer that helps a wonderful plant grow" or "a lawnmower blade that rips things to pieces" perfectly captures what's at stake in our daily communications.By intentionally monitoring what we think, see, hear, say, and do, we position ourselves for spiritual growth and more effective Christian witness. This episode offers both theological depth and practical application for anyone seeking to navigate our sensory-saturated world with godly wisdom and discernment.Support the show

Today, Pastor Michael Acock speaks in week 6 of our series study of the book of Colossians. Our series is called "Beyond the Static" as we look to clear the noise of life and our world and listen to the voice of a loving God. In this sermon, Michael emphasizes the importance of discerning what we allow into our hearts, based on the teachings found in Colossians chapters one and two. He highlights that while we have been made new in Christ, we must guard our hearts against worldly philosophies and misleading ideologies that dilute the truth of the Gospel. Michael encourages the congregation to use Jesus as their filter for understanding and discerning truth, asserting that if Christ has reconciled us, we are destined for faithfulness and maturity in Him. Ultimately, the message urges believers to recognize their new identity in Christ and to detach from cultural pressures that compromise their faith. You can find the full sermon notes and other resources at our website. We hope this message encourages you and helps you know Jesus in a more real way.

GTO Wizard - The best way to learn and practice GTO!Use this link to sign up: https://gtowizard.com/p/junglemanDESCRIPTIONAlright, so I sat down with French OG for this episode of Winning The Game Of Life. This guy's got a wild background – went from grinding poker tables, understanding odds and variance, to coaching guys through the even more complex and sometimes brutal game of modern dating. We didn't waste time on fluff; we jumped straight into the deep end, applying strategic thinking and probability to figure out what actually works with women, relationships, and frankly, just navigating human psychology when the stakes feel high.Expect some takes that might make you uncomfortable. French OG dropped some bombs, like comparing personality to makeup and arguing why chasing commitment can kill attraction. We went back and forth on whether optimizing for 'lays' is a fundamental mistake (a point where I think the Red Pill logic often breaks down), debated the real source of confidence, and even touched on whether my blue hair stunt was a calculated 'polarizing' move. It's raw, unfiltered, and definitely not your standard dating advice. If you're tired of simplistic answers and want to explore the messy variables, the actual 'game theory' behind attraction and connection, then you need to check this out. We dissect common assumptions, challenge popular narratives, and try to find a real edge in understanding this crucial part of life. Hit play, listen close, and then tell me in the comments where you think we got it right or wrong – figuring this stuff out is part of winning the game.CHAPTERS00:00 – Intro: Meet French OG01:35 – Twitter Truths & Trolls04:45 – French OG: Poker Player to Dating Coach09:15 – Poker Strategy Applied to Dating13:47 – Confidence, Uncertainty & Poker Mindset16:10 – Coaching Smart Guys (INTJs)18:20 – Boundaries vs. Ultimatums in Dating20:30 – Dealing with Randomness (Poker & Life)23:34 – Culture Clash: Agency vs. Environment25:05 – Poker Analogy: Know Your Value & Spot27:38 – Jungleman's Blue Hair: Polarizing Works31:39 – Don't Be Average32:10 – Niche Strategy: Poker Tables & Dating Apps34:27 – Red Pill Critique: Optimize LIFE, Not Lays36:16 – Lust vs. Love: Who Secures the Relationship?37:03 – Debate: Leading with Relationship Intent40:05 – Filtering for Partner vs. Max Quantity44:45 – Why Men Shouldn't Chase Relationships45:50 – Red Pill Flaw: Metrics Aren't Everything48:05 – Defining Male Personality48:39 – Coaching Different Men, Different Goals53:40 – Advice for the "Average" Guy58:24 – Looks, Fitness & Self-Care Matter01:00:30 – Ripped vs. Money vs. Confidence Debate01:04:40 – Personality is Male "Makeup"01:07:20 – The "Good Woman" Debate01:12:15 – Compatibility vs. Pedestals01:14:05 – Predictable vs. Exciting Relationships01:20:15 – Control Dynamics & Dealing with Damage01:21:05 – Final Thoughts & OutroPINNED COMMENTFrench OG says that "Personality is makeup for men".
