A Reddit-style web forum for A.I. agents has captured the attention of the tech world. According to the site, called Moltbook, more than 1.5 million agents have contributed to over 150,000 posts, making it the largest experiment to date of what happens when A.I. agents interact with each other. We discuss our favorite posts, how we're thinking about the question of what is “real” on the site, and where we expect agents to go from here. Additional Reading:A Social Network for A.I. Bots Only.

Suffering has a great sin-killing effect. The more pure we are, the more clearly we see God.

When we think about dialing-in, we automatically think about coffee. Changing the grind, the recipe, and other inputs and variables all to obtain an ideal outcome. Your coffee shop is not just about coffee though, and that means that other areas of the cafe need to be dialed in in order for the product of the cafe experience to be great.  On today's episode, we will be talking about the three areas of product, people, and place and how you can think about and take action to dial in each one effectively. Now is the time in our history as an industry to start truly finessing the details of what we offer in our shops so we can slowly start rebuilding the coffee bar's reputation as a great good place, a spot for consistently excellent coffee, a spot that you love serving in and love to be served in. It all starts with dialing-in.  Related episodes:    Taste the Rainbow! : Menu knowledge, tasting, flavor, coffee cupping approach to your offerings SHIFT BREAK!

In today's episode of Zen Commuter, we explore how meditation naturally builds confidence—not through positive thinking or self-improvement, but through familiarity with ourselves. As we sit and observe the mind, we begin to see thoughts for what they are rather than who we are. Over time, this creates a quiet trust: trust in our ability to stay present, to meet discomfort without being overwhelmed, and to respond instead of react. This episode invites you to see confidence not as something you have to develop, but as something that emerges when you stop trying to be different and learn to rest in who you already are.   THANKS FOR LISTENING!

"Let us begin again, for until now we have done nothing," - Saint Francis of Assisi Summary As a new year begins, many of us focus on where we fell short instead of how we've grown. In this episode, Mike and Alicia invite parents and couples to reflect on the past year by celebrating the gains—not just the gaps—and to recognize the common traps that keep us stuck, like doing too much, being too busy, comparing ourselves to others, or letting our loves get out of order. From there, they share five foundational ways to begin again and make this year better—not perfect, but better: growing in your relationship with God, becoming more fully who God made you to be, investing intentionally in your marriage, being present and purposeful with your children, and choosing real community. You don't have to plan everything—just put the big rocks in place and start again together.    Key Takeaways Start Right Now: Commit to Growing in Your Relationship with God Commit to Becoming More Fully Yourself Invest in Your Marriage—Starting With Yourself Be Intentional With Your Children Choose Community   Couple Discussion Questions How can we "begin again" together Which of these take aways are most impactful for us?

Quality of the coffee, experience, service, and just about anything else in the cafe will always be something an owner and leader focuses on. These days we tend to concentrate our efforts on the acquiring of quality, instead of the creation of it. All the potential those great beans, your wonderful staff, and even our space have, is just potential until you take action and render, create, and realize that potential in the cup, in the moment, in the real life of the business. Today on Shift Break we will be talking about some ways that we should be thinking about quality, the need for constant focus, maintaining excellence, and the dangers of the claim that quality is something we have already achieved and can move on.

We welcome author Shane Almgren (The Trumpland Diary) to unpack a week that feels like it fell out of a dystopian novel: militarized police in Minnesota, deranged propaganda around the Renee Good shooting, a quiet Five-Alarm Fire at the White House involving Big Oil, a sitting U.S. Senator suing the Secretary of Defense, and a full-scale political revolt inside the GOP over Trump's criminal probe into Fed Chair Jerome Powell.These five stories, taken together, tell us something essential about the moment we're in, and also about the growing wave of resistance and pushback that may represent a  bright spot ahead.Referenced articles from today's stream: This Is Actually Happening → https://worthknowing.substack.com/p/this-is-actually-happening Does the Trump Crowd Actually Get Off On This? → https://worthknowing.substack.com/p/does-the-trump-crowd-actually-get A Five-Alarm Fire at the White House → https://worthknowing.substack.com/p/a-five-alarm-fire-at-the-white-house The Trumpland Diary → https://trumplanddiary.substack.com/00:00 Introduction and Today's Agenda01:58 Emerging Police State in Minnesota04:59 Sadistic Lies and Psychological Research07:43 Trump's Cognitive Decline and Public Reactions10:34 Resistance and Pushback Against Trump19:54 Trump's Cruelty and Sociopathic Tendencies30:01 Untrained Officers and Trump's Responsibility30:52 RFK Jr.'s Senate Confirmation and Vaccine Stance31:46 Trump's Greenland Obsession and Geographic Misunderstandings33:41 European Allies and Military Presence in Greenland34:46 Trump's Unhinged Military Speech and Illegal Orders37:27 The Impact of Trump's Policies on Science and Foreign Aid44:00 Technocracy and the Influence of Tech Billionaires52:44 The Future of Trump's Administration and Competing Agendas56:18 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Dr. Robert Koons has two forthcoming books on Aquinas's Five Ways—one popular, one academic—so we spend this episode walking through how he understands and defends each of the Five Ways, and why they're far more philosophically interesting than they're usually given credit for.  For more philosophy content, check out Pat's Substack at https://journalofabsolutetruth.substack.com/

Last week Darren and Mark shared effective ways to embody characters physically. Today, they share the impact that we can have when we do the same with vocal techniques.     SNIPPETS: • Selectively use dialogue instead of narration   • Vary your vocal volume   • Volume variances depict emotion   • Energy and intensity do not have to be loud   • Modify vocal pitch appropriately   • Different speaking rates can show demeanor and state of mind   • Use congruent facial expressions   • Attitude and posture can say a lot about a character   • Body language will show emotion   • Stress, fatigue, pain, and illness can be portrayed with body language   • Employ an accent when comfortable, competent, and confident   • Be careful not to offend when using accents   • Use age-appropriate vocal characterizations   Work with Mark and Darren: https://www.stagetimeuniversity.com/get-a-speaking-coach/   Check Out Stage Time University: https://www.stagetimeuniversity.com

What if the real reason we're overwhelmed isn't the volume of work we're facing — but the fact we've lost sight of what really matters? In this episode of Sticky From The Inside, Andy is joined by coach, author and founder of On The Up Consulting, Julia Wolfendale, to explore the rising tide of overwhelm affecting leaders, teams and everyday life. Julia has coached hundreds of leaders, and her book Five Ways to Focus feels more relevant than ever in a world that's always on, overstimulated, and full of competing demands. Together they unpack why overwhelm hits even the most capable people, how fear quietly drives busyness, and why we often underestimate our capacity while overestimating the workload ahead of us. Julia introduces her powerful Five Motivational Drivers: freedom, fulfilment, fellowship, finance and kudos; a simple lens that helps people understand what they're really seeking, and what they should prioritise next. If you're feeling stretched, stuck or fizzing with that nervous-system overload Julia describes, this conversation offers a calm, practical reset. Five ideas. Five drivers. And a way of getting life and leadership back on the up. ----more---- Key Takeaways Overwhelm is less about volume and more about clarity. People often know what needs doing but lack the focus to start. Overwhelm grows when we lose sight of our capacity and what truly matters. Fear quietly drives busyness and self-worth gets tied to doing. Julia highlights how fear-based behaviour makes people equate being busy with being valuable, trapping them in cycles of overwork. The Five Motivational Drivers help us re-centre our priorities. Freedom, fulfilment, fellowship, finance and kudos offer a simple way to understand what you're really seeking and why certain tasks feel heavy or draining. Time expands when we regain perspective and shrinks when overwhelmed. Julia's Five Time Frames tool (2 hours, 24 hours, week, month, 3 months) helps recalibrate our sense of time and focus on what's actually achievable. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 1:10 – Setting the Scene: Why Overwhelm Is Everywhere Today 3:53 – Meet Julia Wolfendale & Her Mission to Tackle Overwhelm 5:18 – The Overstimulated, Always-On World We're Struggling to Navigate 8:28 – What Overwhelm Really Feels Like: Capacity, Volume & Nervous-System Load 11:39 – Fear, Busyness and the Self-Worth Trap 15:02 – Introducing the Five Motivational Drivers 20:59 – When Intentions Don't Match Behaviour: Freedom vs Control 24:23 – How Overwhelm Warps Our Sense of Time 27:29 – Scheduling Everything: A Practical Way to Regain Focus 29:03 – Ideas vs Actions: The Two-List Clarity Tool 33:00 – Momentum, Micro-Actions and the Power of Breaking Things Down 43:59 – Julia's Three Sticky Notes for Beating Overwhelm ----more---- Join The Conversation Find Andy Goram on LinkedIn here Listen to the Podcast on YouTube here Follow the Podcast on Instagram here Follow the Podcast on Twitter here Follow the Podcast on Facebook here Check out the Bizjuicer website here Get a free consultation with Andy here Check out the Bizjuicer blog here Download the podcast here ----more---- Useful Links Follow Julia Wolfendale on LinkedIn here Find the On The Up Consulting website here ----more---- Full Episode Transcript Get the full transcript of the episode here

Our stories are more vivid when we embody the characters, and today, Mark and Darren explore simple yet effective ways to embody characters physically. With these techniques, characters are easily identifiable without a word.      SNIPPETS:   • Use their gait and walk as the character would walk   • Identify and portray mannerisms   • Observe family members to show character quirks – 'QUIRKOLOGY'   • Suspend quirky movements to show emotional change   • Look for your own mannerisms by recording and watching yourself on video   • Use congruent facial expressions   • Attitude and posture can say a lot about a character   • Body language will show emotion   • Stress, fatigue, pain, and illness can be portrayed with body language   Work with Mark and Darren: https://www.stagetimeuniversity.com/get-a-speaking-coach/   Check Out Stage Time University: https://www.stagetimeuniversity.com

Preached at the Anointed People International

Pastor Todd Coconato provides five ways to break free from what he calls "the matrix"—the system of globalists, elites, propaganda, psychological warfare, mainstream media, Hollywood, and social media. He characterizes this system as the "Babylon system" that is constantly inundating believers. Website: www.PastorTodd.org To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give The five ways to break free from the matrix: Saturate your mind with the word of God. The world programs the mind, but the Word transforms it. This involves replacing lies with the truth, which sets people free, and daily reading, speaking, meditating on, and praying scripture. The speaker emphasizes that biblical illiteracy is a major problem. Guard your gates. Be disciplined about input, as the enemy programs through entertainment, news, fear, social media, and culture. The speaker references Proverbs 4:23, advising listeners to "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life". He encourages choosing purity over pollution, setting boundaries, and fasting from worldly noise. Walk in the Holy Spirit, not the flesh. The Bible, in Galatians 5:16, says to "Walk in the spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh". The Holy Spirit reveals truth, breaks strongholds, and provides discernment and wisdom, which is necessary to avoid manipulation. This involves testing the spirits and confirming them against God's word. Submit to Christ's lordship, not the world's agenda. Freedom comes when Jesus is Lord, not just Savior. Citing John 8:36, the speaker states, "If the son of man makes you free, you shall be free indeed". Breaking the matrix occurs when you stop agreeing with culture and start obeying Christ. Practice spiritual warfare. This means destroying false beliefs at the root using God's power. The speaker cites 2 Corinthians 10:4–5, noting that "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty... For pulling down strongholds". This is done by rebuking lies, casting down imaginations, declaring God's word, and taking thoughts captive to Christ. The speaker concludes by encouraging viewers to walk in the freedom of the Lord. He states that the kingdom of God awakens, strengthens, renews, and sets you free, in contrast to the world's matrix, which wants to numb, distract, conform, deceive, and control. Freedom is found in surrender to Jesus.   At the end of the video, he mentions he has a forthcoming book called The Isaiah Blueprint, which explains how to survive the current times based on what God has shown him in the book of Isaiah.

FIVE Ways to Build Structured Water in the Body by Melina Roberts

It's December, Thrivesters, which means we are officially in the season where six months of living gets crammed into three weeks and somehow we're all expected to smile, sparkle, and simultaneously attend 47 events with matching pajamas and homemade cookies.Spoiler Alert: You cannot do all the things.And neither can I.In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the years I used to run myself ragged hosting full-blown holiday extravaganzas - ice sculptures, champagne fountains, disco lights, custom cocktail napkins. Yes, in a Boston apartment. Yes, while I was flying around delivering keynotes and eating airport dinners.And they were FUN…Until they weren't.Eventually, the holidays became less “joyful celebration” and more “why am I sweating through December while everyone else is sipping mulled wine?” So I stopped. And wow, did people have feelings about it. (I still get the Devil Wears Prada up-and-down look every year. You know the one.)Truth bomb for you Thrivesters:You're allowed to say no.You're allowed to protect your energy.And you're allowed to enjoy a holiday season that doesn't leave you looking like the cat who touched the light socket.Today I'm giving you five no-BS, drama-free ways to say NO - with kindness, with clarity, with confidence, and without ghosting people or offering panicked explanations.December wants to pull you in a thousand directions and this episode hands you the scripts, the confidence, and the permission to choose where your energy goes this season -  and where it absolutely does not.Because protecting your peace is not rude, selfish, or dramatic.It's leadership.It's maturity.It's growth.And it's exactly how you step into 2026 as the YOU, you actually want to be.✨ The next episode is a special one, so make sure you're subscribed… it's going to be GOOD.Now go thrive like you mean it. Links & Resources:Join the waitlist for my free 2025 Holiday Thrive Guide —your permission slip to slow down, savor, and actually enjoy the season. https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/BpdMURpJoin the Thrive Hive and receive the Weekly Buzz: ⁠https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/MurXaK9⁠Grab my best-selling book Unmute Yourself: https://www.amazon.com/Unmute-Yourself-Speak-Stand-Out/dp/B094988YFDFollow me on Instagram: ⁠@nancy_medoff (https://www.instagram.com/nancy.medoff)Connect with me on LinkedIn: @nancymedoff (https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancymedoff/)

In this episode, AJ and Chris dig into a playful but insightful exploration: What would happen if an outsider spent a weekend in Bellingham guided solely by web searches or AI?Fresh off a Portland conference with heavy AI themes, AJ tests what “SmackGPT” thinks a weekend in Bellingham should look like across five traveler personas: the Local Explorer, Family Adventurer, Mindful Explorer, Camper, and Lux High Roller (exact output posted below).The gents review, refine, and sometimes hilariously correct the AI-generated recommendations, offering their hyper-local expertise on food, lodging, hikes, coffee shops, costs, and hidden gems. Along the way, Amtrak stories, camping advice, critiques of $10 gas estimates, and an update on the infamous “mics on sticks” recording setup.It's a mix of travel guide, tech commentary, and classic Bellingham banter all better than any bot.

Send us a textThe constant focus on things and people outside of your control is draining. I spent too many years of my life in this vicious cycle of external focus and validation, leaving me feeling like a fragmented, boundaryless version of myself. But all that changed with recovery. This week on the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I am sharing the recording of a guest appearance I did with the international recovery community, Friendly Circle Berlin. I share my story of codependency, how ACA and OA shaped my healing, why emotional sobriety is the centerpiece of my life, and five ways to keep the focus on yourself so you can create internal safety from the inside out. The five takeaways I go over in this episode include:Shift your focus to what you can control. Practice the power of self-inquiry. Mind your own business (and seek consent).Identify and own your feelings. Pour from the overflow. You are not shattered; you are whole. The key to lasting emotional sobriety is caring more about what you think of yourself than what others think of you. Start today by choosing integrity over people-pleasing. Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

Many believers wrestle with one of the most common questions in the Christian life: How do I know God's will for me?In this episode, Pastor Jeff and Tiffany begin a new mini-series on Learning and Discerning God's Will. Pastor Jeff shares five key ways God reveals His will: Through Scripture, prayer, circumstances, other believers, and His direct leading. God's will is not hidden from His people but revealed to those who walk closely with Him.What We Discussed01:09 Discerning God's WillPastor Jeff explains why many Christians view God's will as something difficult to find, and how it's often simpler than we think when our hearts are in the right place.03:30 Two Approaches to God's WillSome believers wait passively for God to act, while others move forward and trust Him to guide or redirect. Pastor Jeff discusses finding a healthy balance between the two.05:12 Preparing the HeartBefore learning and discerning God's will, our hearts must be right with God. There are four steps of preparation: Yield fully to God, be willing to obey, confess known sin, and ask for His guidance.07:04 God Desires to Reveal His WillTiffany reads Colossians 1:9 and 1 John 5:14-15, reminding listeners that God wants His children to know His will and equips them with spiritual wisdom and understanding.09:11 Five Ways to Learn and Discern God's WillPastor Jeff outlines five ways God reveals His will: through Scripture, prayer, life circumstances, the counsel of other believers, and His direct leading.18:02 God's Direct LeadingWhile rare, God sometimes provides clear direction through His Word or the Holy Spirit. Pastor Jeff cautions believers to test every message against Scripture and seek wise counsel.19:21 Living in God's WillDiscerning God's will starts with the heart. When we are yielded, prayerful, and obedient, we can trust that we are already walking in His will.“If you want to know what God wants, you have to want what God wants.” – Steve BrownWe love your feedback!
