HR professionals have a huge opportunity to shape how, why and when AI is used across their organisations.Because AI is not only changing technology. It is changing jobs, skills, teams, management and the way work gets done. And HR is uniquely placed to make sure those changes work for both the organisation and its people.In this episode of HR Coffee Time, Fay is joined by People Consultant Charlotte Goulding to explore how HR professionals can help shape successful AI adoption across their organisations.Charlotte explains why HR should not wait to be invited into conversations about AI and shares how her Five People Foundations Framework can help organisations put the right people foundations in place as work changes.Together, Fay and Charlotte explore what each of these foundations means in practice, including why traditional job descriptions may no longer be enough, why managers will become even more important and how performance, recognition and HR operations may need to evolve.Charlotte also explains how HR can help organisations make thoughtful decisions about AI while keeping people, trust and culture at the heart of them.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why HR shouldn't wait to be invited into conversations about AIThe difference between “AI for HR” and “HR for AI”How the Five People Foundations work togetherWhy skills and capabilities could become more useful than job descriptionsHow managers can support people through AI-related changeHow performance, recognition and HR operations may need to adaptChapters[0:00] Introduction: Why HR must lead AI adoption[2:01] Welcome, Charlotte Goulding[2:24] HR for AI, not just AI for HR[4:41] From pandemic hero to recent criticism[6:31] How the Five Foundations framework came about[10:42] Overview: The Five People Foundations[11:35] Foundation 1: Identity[15:34] Example: Values in your AI hiring process[19:13] Foundation 2: Clarity[23:28] Applying skills-based roles in HR[26:31] OKRs and quarterly goal-setting[28:05] Foundation 3: Enablement[29:12] Managers: the most overlooked foundation[36:51] Foundation 4: Recognition[39:01] Rethinking career progression and rewards[40:42] Foundation 5: Operations[42:22] Mapping your most critical processes[43:38] Working with Charlotte[45:37] Book recommendations[47:05] Wrap-up and outroUseful LinksConnect with Fay on LinkedInLearn about Fay's Essential HR PlannerLearn about Fay's Inspiring HR Leadership ProgrammeComplete Charlotte's free Five People Foundations diagnostic.Visit Charlotte's website: The People ThreadConnect with Charlotte Goulding on LinkedInBooks Recommended in This EpisodeHR Disrupted by Lucy AdamsBuilt for People by Jessica ZwaanHelpful Episodes to Listen to NextEp 164: Becoming More Strategic as an HR Team: Three Ways OKRs Can HelpEp 166: The Biggest HR Strategy Mistake and How to Fix It, with Dean CorbettEp 172: How One Company Helped Employees Embrace AI, with Laura MaffucciEp 173: How to Build a Better Workplace Culture (So People Thrive at Work), with Aoife O'BrienEnjoyed This Episode?

What I Discussed With Dr Anna Elton...- Why the word desire gets confused with arousal, and how mixing them up keeps couples stuck for years.- The uncomfortable truth about the "spontaneous" desire I felt at 25, and why Anna says I actually worked for it.- What 700+ couples taught Anna about why some marriages stay passionate for decades while others go quiet.- Where my erotic energy goes when it stops flowing toward a partner (it doesn't just vanish).- The three personas every partnered person juggles, and the one that quietly starves first.- The couple who ate out "all the time" but hadn't been on a real date in ten years.- Why I hated being the default planner in my relationships, and Anna's fix for the "I don't know, what do you want to do?" dynamic.- The 20 second habit that took one couple from a sexless marriage back to wanting each other.- What actually kept Anna and her high school sweetheart flirting after 25 years and three kids.Chapters:00:00 – Introduction & Sponsor Spotlight (OhMiBod)00:26 – Understanding Midlife Desire with Dr Anna Elton01:27 – Lessons from 25 Years Together: Clinical Research Meets Personal Reality03:00 – Why Young Couples Suffer From Sexless Marriages03:36 – The Brain Chemistry of Intimacy: Desire vs. Physical Arousal04:35 – Spontaneous vs. Responsive Desire Explained05:34 – Rethinking ‘Spontaneous' Spark in Long-Term Relationships07:01 – The Myth of Youthful Passion & Hormonal Shifts Over Time09:07 – Restoring Novelty: The A-to-Z Date Night Framework10:56 – Sponsor Spotlight (GITM Playbook)11:42 – Creating Mystery & Seeing Your Partner Through a New Lens13:05 – The Power of ‘Consensual Uncertainty' in Midlife Dating13:44 – Overcoming the ‘Planner Dynamic' & Resentment in Relationships15:32 – The Three-Step Coaching Technique to Encourage Partner Effort17:00 – Desire Diversion: Where Does Erotic Energy Go When It Leaves the Bedroom?18:50 – Balancing the Three Personas: Individual, Couple, and Family20:17 – Defining a ‘Sexless Marriage' & The Impact of Parental Stress23:05 – What Long-Term Couples Do Differently to Keep the Flame Alive24:04 – Social Penetration Theory: Why Deeper Communication Drives Physical Connection25:58 – Micro-Habits for Reconnection: The 20-Second Rule27:12 – Can High School Sweethearts Last a Lifetime?28:30 – Closing Thoughts & ‘The Formula of Desire' Book Release DetailsShow NotesDesire in long-term relationships is one of the most misunderstood topics I cover on this show, so I went straight to someone with the data.In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Anna Elton, a licensed marriage and family therapist and clinical sexologist who has spent more than 15 years researching desire with over 700 couples. Her new book, The Formula of Desire, grew out of a question she couldn't shake: why were she and her high school sweetheart still flirting after 25 years while couples half their age were arriving at her practice in sexless marriages?Anna dismantled something I'd believed my whole life. That electric, out-of-nowhere desire I remember from my younger years? She says it was never spontaneous. I put the work in without realising it, and that changes everything about how couples in later life can get desire back.We also get into where erotic energy actually goes when it leaves a relationship, because according to Anna's research, it doesn't fade. It moves. And I share something from my own marriage that made this whole conversation personal.If your relationship has gone quiet, this episode is proof it doesn't have to stay that way.Listen, learn and enjoy.Key Takeaways- Desire is psychological, and arousal is physiological. Losing one doesn't mean losing the other.- Spontaneous desire is really well orchestrated desire.- A sexless marriage means sex ten or fewer times a year, and it's happening to couples of every age.- Desire doesn't disappear from a relationship. It redirects toward kids, careers or someone else.- We each juggle three personas: individual, couple and family. The couple persona is the one that gets starved.- New experiences together let you see your partner through fresh eyes, whether that's salsa dancing or axe throwing.- Small consistent habits beat grand gestures. Daily check-ins, 20-second hugs and flirty rain checks keep desire alive.- Just knowing your partner desires you is often enough to feel satisfied in a relationship.About the GuestDr. Anna Elton, LMFT, CST, is a licensed marriage and family therapist, clinical sexologist, speaker, and author of The Formula of Desire. With more than 15 years of experience and research involving over 700 couples, she specialises in helping people understand desire, intimacy, attraction, and long-term relationships.

What goes into making a great upland bird hunting magazine? Matt Soberg is ideally suited to answer that question, having edited the Ruffed Grouse Society's magazine for years, and is now at Covey Rise magazine. Avid hunter, conservationist and passionate communicator, Matt and I cover everything from how to get your article or photo published, to what makes a great story (hint: it's a great story).  We'll also dig into how magazines influence the bird hunting zeitgeist, share hunting stories, find out what Matt carries in his hunting vest, and get some ruffed grouse and woodcock hunting tips. We start the debate on sharing hunting spots, too.  "Fix It" offers a suggestion that might help you shoot low birds better, and in our social segment we share stories about the magic that happens in the field. And it's all brought to you by: Mid Valley Clays and Shooting School, CableGangz, TrulockChokes, ClayCopter, USA Clay Target League, Purina Pro Plan Sport and FindBirdHuntingSpots.com.

I spoke to Yanis Varoufakis, economist and former Greek finance minister, at Web3 Summit in Berlin on June 18th, 2026, about why he thinks blockchain is one of the few tools left that can actually pull power away from Big Tech and the banks. Truly a privilege that I had the chance to speak with him on such a stage.We dig into his concept of techno-feudalism and cloud capital, his monetary commons proposal for a transparent monetary system that could undercut private banks, and the digital wallet system he tried to build for Greece during the crisis. Yanis also lays out why he thinks the digital euro is dead in the water. You can read my reflections on the interview here. If you liked the podcast be sure to give it a review on your preferred podcast platform.

Most conversations about climate change stop at fear, politics, or denial, and never make it to practical solutions. Today's guest, Dr. David E. Comings, is determined to change that. A physician, geneticist, former director of medical genetics at City of Hope National Medical Center, and author of nearly 500 peer‑reviewed papers, Dr. Comings brings a lifetime of scientific rigor to what he calls humanity's greatest challenge: global warming. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Dr. Comings breaks down four key variables driving climate change: rising CO₂ levels, the accelerating rate of that rise, Earth's massive heat imbalance (equivalent to 143,000 atomic bombs going off every day), and the warming and acidification of the oceans. He connects the dots between hotter oceans, more extreme storms, deadly heat waves, crop failures, and food insecurity, showing how these forces compound into a global crisis already claiming thousands of lives. But this isn't just another doom-and-gloom climate episode. Dr. Comings lays out four actionable ways to fight global warming at scale. You'll hear about restoring Earth's albedo (reflectivity) with highly reflective surfaces in deserts, reversing ocean acidification, and using enhanced weathering, crushing specific rocks so they chemically bind CO₂ safely and permanently. He also explains why injecting carbon dioxide into basalt formations could safely store trillions of tons of CO₂, and why some popular “bury it underground” approaches may be far riskier than people realize. Dr. Comings also exposes the policy failures and missed opportunities that are making the problem worse, from governments paying companies not to build offshore wind farms, to leaders who dismiss climate science as a hoax. He contrasts this with countries like China, which, despite high emissions, are investing heavily in hydroelectric, solar, and wind, and “putting us to shame” with their sense of urgency. Along the way, he shares how his own shock at the accelerating rate of CO₂ increase pushed him, post‑retirement, to write his book “The Science of Global Warming: Four Ways to Fix It” with 106 color illustrations and over 300 scientific references. https://youtu.be/eZ0dB7iNO6g?si=tgB67bN9fKQxCt4z If you've ever wondered, “Is there actually anything we can do?” this conversation offers both hard science and real hope. You'll come away with a clearer understanding of the physics behind global warming, concrete large‑scale interventions that could make a meaningful difference, and specific actions individuals can take, from how they vote to how they might participate in enhanced weathering efforts. Whether you're skeptical, overwhelmed, or already convinced, this episode will equip you with better arguments, better science, and a more actionable vision for what it would take to turn the ship around. Quotes: "The Earth's heat imbalance is equivalent to 143,000 atomic bombs going off every day. That is an enormous amount of heat going into the ocean."  "Heat kills more people as a weather problem. It kills more people than hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes combined."   "Climate change is real, and it's getting worse and worse and worse. We need governments or billionaires to step in and say, 'I'm here to help.'"  Contact Details: Discover Real-World Solutions to Climate Change. Visit the Comings Foundation Today Follow Dr. David E.

Share a commentEver notice how easily “God” turns into a supporting character in our story? We open Exodus 20 by slowing down at the starting line, where God names Himself, asserts His authority, and reminds Israel that He redeemed them from slavery. That context changes everything: the Ten Commandments are not dusty relics or cultural leftovers. They reveal God's holiness, confront our favorite excuses, and push us toward the only One who fulfills the law perfectly, Jesus Christ.We unpack why God gives the law in the first place: to display His glory, to expose human sin with uncomfortable clarity, and to provide a standard for godly living. Along the way we talk about what the law cannot do, it cannot justify you, cannot produce righteousness, and cannot give real peace. If you've ever been intimidated by the “moral” person who seems fine without Christ, we explain why appearances can't heal the conscience, and why the gospel is not an upgrade but a rescue.Then we camp on the first commandment, “You shall have no other gods before me,” and show why it functions as the foundation for the other nine. We also challenge five common distortions that derail faith: God as an eager bellhop, a stern teacher, an impersonal scientist, a doting grandfather, or a Mr. Fixit we use when life breaks. If you're wrestling with honesty, coveting, or contentment, we connect those struggles to where allegiance truly sits.

America has lived through technological and economic upheaval before. Farm workers moved to factories. Factory workers moved into services. New industries replaced old ones. Productivity rose. Living standards improved. But are we ready for the greatest disruption in American history? Ben Gilliland, author of the upcoming book Breaking the Compact, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why business leaders need to be prepared for the upcoming AI disruption. The impact of AI, which has not fully materialized, goes far beyond security and job displacement. It will impact our economy, our privacy, and our way of life. The closest recent warning is the "China shock," the period of rapidly increasing import competition that followed China's integration into the global trading system. AI will dwarf that. Ben will discuss the human advantage and how we can prepare now. In the leadership and communications segment, Cybersecurity's Economics Are Broken. Automation Alone Won't Fix It, The business case for burning down security debt: A practical approach for CISOs, The last human relationship in cybersecurity, and more!

If people leave your talk thinking, “She really knows her stuff,” that feels good. But it doesn't necessarily make you memorable, referable, or bookable.In this fourth and final episode of my Expert Trap series, I'm looking at three things you may be saying yes to (more content, neutrality, and the wrong room) and the identity questions underneath each one. I've done all three, and I still have to watch for them in my own presentations.You'll hear why your audience doesn't need everything you know, how a clear point of view helps your ideas travel, and how to choose speaking opportunities that make your thought leadership stronger instead of more generic. I'll also give you one practical exercise you can use right away: replacing one proof sentence with one belief sentence.In this episode, you'll learn:How too much content can become a way to prove you belongWhy staying neutral can make your message harder to rememberHow to know when a speaking opportunity is the wrong roomThe identity shift from expert to thought leaderWhy expertise builds trust, but your point of view makes you referable and bookableThe difference between a proof sentence and a belief sentenceAbout Us: The Speaking Your Brand podcast is hosted by Carol Cox.

It is becoming increasingly common to hear the American Dream is dead, with young people today often citing housing prices, the difficulty of finding jobs, and tax burdens.Forbes Media chairman Steve Forbes has a very different take.“A free people always finds ways to move ahead, even though times and circumstances change. The problems we face today are not anything inherent in America, but in mistakes made by government. And the nice thing about that is mistakes can be undone,” Forbes said.He's the editor-in-chief of Forbes Media and the co-author of “Inflation: What It Is, Why It's Bad, and How to Fix It.”In this wide-ranging episode, filmed at the FreedomFest conference in Las Vegas, we dove into the rise of democratic socialist candidates, DEI hiring, inflation, how the United States should approach Taiwan and Iran, and the basic truth about prosperity that no one is teaching today.At the heart of this conversation is an extremely hopeful message: “Human ingenuity is unlimited. Have faith in the future.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

I spoke to Leo Fan, founder of Cysic, about what zero-knowledge proofs actually are, and why they might be one of the more promising answers to the internet's identity problem.We dig into how a ZK proof lets you prove something is true without handing over any identifying personal information, why that matters as digital identity systems become pushed by governments, and Cysic's model for verifiable compute. Leo also breaks down why the hardware and cost problems around ZK have kept it from mainstream identity use so far, and how Cysic's network lets you use your own hardware to help generate these proofs, rather than leaving that compute in the hands of a few large players.If you liked the podcast be sure to give it a review on your preferred podcast platform.

New Sikorsky Marine One helicopters damage the White House lawn, the airports renamed for U.S. presidents, airline consolidation, DCA crash safety recommendations, controversy over ADS-B In regulations, Air France and Airbus manslaughter verdict, passengers sue Delta over turbulence injuries, a Ryanair window ruptures, and a seaplane makes a hard landing in New York's East River. Also, interviews from the Spurwink Farm fly-in. Aviation News Lockheed Martin Is Covering the Cost of Trump's White House Helipad President Trump said that Sikorsky, part of Lockheed Martin, would cover the cost of building a new helipad at the White House. Lockheed Martin confirmed the report. Sikorsky helicopters have been used to transport the president since the 1970s.  The new VH-92A Patriot helicopter has propulsion exhaust vents located toward the rear of the airframe and pointed downward, unlike the VH-3D’s configuration. Also, with much more powerful engines, the VH-92A generates significantly more downwash than the VH-3D. The hot exhaust gets combined with the intense rotor downwash at touchdown, and the combined heat-and-airflow effect scorches the turf and can physically rip sod loose. Airline consolidation now rules the skies. Has it been good for passengers? Continental Airlines, Northwest Airlines, and US Airways are gone. Spirit Airlines is gone as well. Now, the Big Four U.S. airlines control roughly three-quarters of the U.S. market. Has this been good for the flying public? It depends on who you ask. Former governor Chris Sununu, now the head of Airlines for America, said at a Capitol Hill hearing, “We have more competition per route than ever before. When I go to buy a ticket, I have four, five, or six carriers going from Wichita to Dallas. So now they’re all competing on that exact same route.” There are six airlines serving Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport, but there’s only one that flies nonstop to Dallas. Past guest Ganesh Sitaraman, a professor at Vanderbilt Law School and the author of the book Why Flying Is Miserable and How to Fix It said, “From the airlines’ perspective, it makes sense. Bigger is better, and it’ll be more efficient for them, even if there’s a lot of drawbacks for communities and passengers.” A Florida airport is officially renamed for Trump. What does he stand to gain? FAA Details First Official Response to DC Crash Safety Recommendations After the January 2025 midair collision near Washington, D.C., that killed 67 people, the NTSB issued nearly three dozen recommendations. As is always the case, the FAA is not obligated to implement the NTSB’s recommendations. Earlier this year, the FAA said it had fully addressed seven of the recommendations and that it would evaluate the others, with further updates to come by May 31, 2027. The Air Current reported that the FAA indicated it is evaluating whether the number of arrivals permitted per hour at DCA is appropriate. This is a key metric that the NTSB said contributed to the airport’s congestion at the time of the crash. Also, any adjustments will be determined after an official analysis in 2027. This $50,000 Safety Fix Is Dividing the Aviation Industry and Washington This could be characterized as a conference-committee fight over how strong an ADS-B In mandate should be, not whether there will be one. ALPA and NTSB are on one side (ROTOR Act), and industry groups like A4A/AOPA/NBAA on the other (ALERT) side.  Senate: ROTOR Act (Rotorcraft Operations Transparency and Oversight Reform Act) Would require all aircraft to be equipped with ADS-B In and repeal certain military exemptions from the technology requirements. Passed the Senate by unanimous consent in December, with strong support, including from ALPA. The House rejected it on February 24, 2026, falling one vote short of the two-thirds majority needed after the Defense Department raised national security concerns House: ALERT Act (Airspace Location and Enhanced Risk Transparency Act) House lawmakers revised the bill to explicitly include an ADS-B In mandate after the earlier version was criticized for failing to clearly require it. The updated version requires that aircraft carry both ADS-B In and ACAS X (Airborne Collision Avoidance System X), integrated so ADS-B In data feeds the alerting function. Opposition: ALPA doesn’t endorse it, arguing that ACAS Xa (the large-commercial-aircraft variant) isn’t yet commercialized, that no integration standards exist, and that the system suppresses alerts below 1,000 feet when situational awareness matters most. The NTSB also declined to support it, saying it falls short of requiring ADS-B In for all aircraft operating in airspace where ADS-B Out is already required, even though it allows compliance via portable receivers with line-of-sight limitations. Air France and Airbus found guilty of manslaughter over 2009 plane crash A Paris Appeals Court found Air France and Airbus “solely and entirely responsible” for the 2009 AF447 accident, which killed 228 people when it crashed into the Atlantic Ocean. The companies were cleared in April 2023 but were found guilty after an eight-week trial. Both Air France and Airbus have denied the charges and say they will appeal. In 2012, French investigators found a combination of technical failure involving ice in the pitot tubes and pilot confusion over faulty air-speed readings. Pilot training has since been modified, and pitot tube sensors have been replaced. 20 Sue Delta Over 2.5 Minutes of Terror on Flight Out of Utah A lawsuit has been filed against Delta Air Lines on behalf of 20 passengers of Delta Flight 56, claiming that pilots “recklessly flew” too close to thunderstorms, where severe turbulence caused multiple injuries. The turbulence lasted 2 1/2 minutes over Wyoming, and the flight was diverted to Minnesota. Twenty-five people were transported to local hospitals. The NTSB said the pilots were caught by surprise. In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs allege that the National Weather Service issued an advisory warning that turbulent conditions were present in the mountains east of Salt Lake City and that thunderstorms were present along portions of the flight path. Apparent engine fan blade failure preceded rupture of Ryanair 737 window The Air Current reports that the rupture of a Ryanair Boeing 737-800 window resulted from a fan blade failure on the right CFM56-7B engine. Fan blade failures are serious but rare. Aircraft engines are designed to contain fan blade failures and are tested during the certification process.  The FAA issued airworthiness directives to mitigate the risk of fan blade failure through inspections and an engine inlet redesign to ensure containment. The FAA set a July 31, 2028, deadline for compliance. Small plane makes hard landing into New York's East River, officials say A Kodiak 100 seaplane with eight people on board made a hard landing in the East River between Brooklyn and Manhattan. There was “substantial damage” to the plane, but there were no injuries. The plane bounced three times, and the pilot subsequently told the passengers that a pontoon had broken. A pattern of progressive porpoise leading to structural failure appears in NTSB seaplane accident reports across various types, including Cessna 206 and 208 Caravan floatplanes, de Havilland Beavers, and Twin Otters on floats. A few East River/urban seaplane-specific factors that might be in play: Wake and chop from harbor traffic (ferries, tour boats) create a much less predictable water surface than open lake/bay operations. Confined approach corridors near Skyport limit go-around and abort options if the pilot senses a bad touchdown developing. The area has had at least one other recent seaplane mishap (a two-seater damaged by a wave three weeks prior), suggesting water-surface conditions have been a recurring operational challenge this season. The NTSB and FAA will be looking at whether this was primarily a pilot technique issue (porpoise recovery), an environmental factor (wake/wave state at touchdown), or a mechanical issue in the float attachment itself. Spurwink Farm International Fly-In From the fly-in, Micah brings us interviews with Spurwink Farm Manager Christina Mitchell, listener Tad Yergey, and Cessna 185 Floatplane Pilot John Hartz. John Hartz, one and a half of his children, and his Cessna 185. Micah at the Spurwink Farm Fly-In, Mentioned Ever wonder if pilots become frightened during an emergency?

That's today's soapbox session, as I encourage you to seek out the runners-up states, regions, and places that don't end up on magazine covers. I'll share some of my own stories, offer some strategy and tactics you might employ, and provide incentives that might get you far from the madding crowd. Our social session covers favorite post-hunt libations, and "Fix It" suggests some help wearing your strap vest that allows you to carry more water and shoot better.

What if everything you've ever been taught about the ego has been wrong? For 3,000 years, spiritual traditions have delivered the same prescription: dissolve it, transcend it, kill it. And yet, for most people, no amount of meditation, prayer, or spiritual work has made that nagging disconnection go away.Dr. Nickolas Martin has spent 40 years in clinical psychology watching that prescription fail, and he thinks he knows exactly why. The ego, he says, isn't the enemy. It's a patient. A licensed psychologist, author of five books, and the man who literally invented the field of Egology, Dr. Nick introduces a framework he calls Ego Medicine, and it starts with a truth that stops most people cold: you can't destroy something you don't actually understand. And according to Dr. Nick, almost nobody understands what the ego actually is.In this episode, you'll find out why the ego has no intellect, no awareness of God, and no awareness of itself... and yet still manages to be the single biggest obstacle standing between you and the life you were designed to live. You'll hear about the three dimensions of ego energy, and why being what the world calls "a big ego" and being someone who can't feel their own feelings are actually two sides of the same broken coin. You'll also hear one idea that may quietly rearrange everything you thought you knew about spiritual healing: you were born saved.The question Dr. Nick is asking isn't how you wake up. It's how to stop from waking yourself. This one hits different. Come ready. Resources + Links from This Episode Books by Dr. Nickolas Martin(all e-book versions available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble for $2.99 each) Earthly Resurrection: The Truth of God-Ego-You (Dr. Nick's recommended starting point.
