What do you do when your million-dollar product fails from a microscopic flaw? You call someone like Mike Konrad—but 30+ years ago, there was no one like him. So he built the solution himself. In this episode of The Root of All Success, host Jason Duncan sits down with Mike Konrad, founder of Aqueous Technologies and host of Reliability Matters and The Reluctant Entrepreneur podcasts. From launching his business after being dismissed with a single word—“fine”—to pioneering eco-friendly circuit board cleaning systems, Mike has helped shape the global electronics industry for over four decades. He shares how he turned rejection into innovation, why he doubled down when everyone else walked away, and the mindset shifts that helped him survive lawsuits, cash flow crises, and industry disruption. This one's for the builders, innovators, and anyone who's ever wanted to quit but didn't.

Perfectionism: the socially acceptable way to ruin your own life. This week, we're joined by Dr. Thomas Curran, professor of psychology and author of The Perfection Trap, to explain why perfectionism isn't a flex—it's a full-time mental drain. We dig into the difference between high standards and high stress, how perfectionism feeds imposter syndrome, and why social media keeps making it worse. We also break down how to work with perfectionists (or at least survive them), and how to reframe failure before you burn out trying to “fix” something no one even noticed. We want to hear from you!

Michele is back again as she and Jason continue their journey into the films of the great Billy Wilder. This time they look at one of his greatest, most popular and most profound films, Sunset Boulevard (1950), and plumb so much of its hidden depth. Along with that, Michele and Jason take a look at a much deeper cut in Wilder's catalog: Fedora (1978), the shaggy-dog, slightly misbegotten approach to similar territory as Sunset. Fedora is a fascinating film for very different reasons than Sunset Boulevard, and in many ways helps appreciate the unique alchemy that helped make the earlier movie a classic and this one a flawed work.

When the Declaration of Independence was written, the "fathers of our country" looked in the mirror, and guess what they saw?

On this week's episode, Megan talks about M3GAN 2.0 (2:58), the sci-fi action sequel which sees the return of the murderous robotic doll, directed by Gerard Johnstone and starring Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, and Jenna Davis. Flawed yet intermittently fun, it's inferior to the sharply crafted and delightful original horror film. Then, Megan talks about RENT FREE (17:17), Fernando Andrés's indie comedy about two queer best friends (Jacob Roberts, David Treviño) attempting to live for a year without paying rent in Austin, Texas. Lastly, Dave and Megan discuss MY MOM JAYNE (29:01), Mariska Hargitay's emotional documentary about her mother, actress and icon Jayne Mansfield, as she explores her grief, delves into her mother's life, and reconciles her mother's image and legacy. It's a compelling and vulnerable film that we both recommend. And on our Patreon bonus episode, we discuss 1986 sci-fi thriller THE MANHATTAN PROJECT, starring John Lithgow, Christopher Collet, and Cynthia Nixon!

Send us a textWelcomeThanks for pressing play! In today's journey through Judges we meet Samson—the gifted judge who could tear lions to shreds, yet couldn't rein in his own appetite. His life is a walking paradox: Spirit-empowered, vow-bound … and willfully compromised.  The big question we're chasing: How can a holy God work through people who are anything but holy? If you've ever felt the tension between your calling and your failures, Samson's story is your mirror—and your hope.Episode Notes1. Three Snapshot Scenes1. **The Woman (vv. 1-4)**     “She is right in my eyes.” – Samson     • Impulse over covenant     • Echo of the book's theme: *“Everyone did what was right in his own eyes”* (Judg 21:25).2. **The Lion (vv. 5-9)**     • Spirit-given strength vs. self-given silence     • Touches a carcass twice, quietly breaking his Nazirite vow.3. **The Riddle (vv. 10-12)**     • A seven-day drinking feast among Philistines     • “Out of the eater came something to eat…”—turning sin's secrecy into gambling capital.2. Big Truths to Chew On| Truth | Why It Matters || God's sovereignty bends even sinful choices into redemptive purposes (v. 4). | Your failures don't write the final chapter. || Charisma without character caves in. | Spiritual gifting ≠ spiritual maturity. || “Right in my eyes” is the default of a leaderless heart. | We all need a better King than ourselves. |3. Reflection Questions1. Where do you rely on gifting while neglecting character?  2. Which appetites currently drive your “sight-based” decisions?  3. How have you seen God redeem a bad choice you made?  4. In what area do you need to swap *“right in my eyes”* for *“right in God's eyes”* this week?### 4. Practice This Week• 30-Minute Audit:** List recent decisions. Mark each *S* (sight) or *F* (faith). Pray over the *S's.*  • Honey Fast:** Skip your go-to comfort snack/beverage for three days. Each craving = a cue to pray, “Lord, master my appetites.”  • Accountability Text:** Ask a trusted friend, “What blind-spot do you see in me that I justify as ‘right in my eyes'?”6.

“Those moments of connection when you can have them with people who seem so different from you on the outside, I really do think that it braids a level of connectiveness and empathy, and it is much harder to harden your heart.” — Gayle FormanWhat does it mean to rise to the occasion, not once, but over and over again? Sometimes it means reckoning with grief. Other times it means stumbling forward, messing up, and trying again. And sometimes it means simply showing up, imperfect, but still trying to be better.Gayle Forman is the bestselling author of If I Stay, Frankie & Bug, Not Nothing, Afterlife and more. Whether it's Mia in If I Stay, Alex in Not Nothing, or Amber in Afterlife, her characters often walk a jagged path toward healing, falling short, trying again, and inching closer to the people they hope to become.In this episode, Gayle talks about growing up as a self-described “odd duck,” the Ramona books that shaped her childhood and parenting, and the formative years she spent traveling solo. She opens up about why she is so drawn to flawed characters and how fiction became a way to survive grief and stay connected to the people she has lost.***For her reading challenge, Flawed, Gayle is going to bat for the prickly, messy, not-here-to-be-liked protagonists. She points out that kids are used to reading about heroes, but it can be just as powerful, maybe even more so, to read about characters who fall short and grow anyway. Peruse selected titles and Gayle's full reading challenge for free at thereadingculturepod.com/gayle-forman.This week's Beanstack Featured Librarian is Lori Shallio, media specialist at Heritage Intermediate School in Middlebury, Indiana.

In this episode of Coming from Left Field, we dive into America's broken elder care system with Judy Karofsky, author of “DisElderly Conduct: The Flawed Business of Assisted Living and Hospice.” We discuss how corporate greed and lack of regulation have turned assisted living into a profit-driven nightmare, where facilities—often run by private equity firms—prioritize cost-cutting over resident dignity. With shocking stories from Judy's own mother's ordeal (including wrongful death notices and evictions), the conversation highlights systemic neglect, underpaid staff, and families left powerless. Our discussion pivots to solutions, from policy reforms (like Biden's stalled staffing mandates) to grassroots activism. Judy's book serves as a rallying cry, comparing the crisis to Silent Spring—a wake-up call to demand dignity for the elderly. While the system feels rigged, the episode ends on a note of defiance: by sharing stories, organizing, and pressuring lawmakers, change is possible. This is a raw, urgent look at a crisis affecting us all—because, as Judy warns, “Every one of us will need or provide this care someday.”     Order the book: https://diselderlyconduct.com/ Greg's Blog: http://zzs-blg.blogspot.com/  Pat's Substack: https://patcummings.substack.com/about   #private equity healthcare#elder care crisis#assisted living problems#nursing home abuse# private equity healthcare#elder care costs#aging in America# hospice c#are flaws#Judy Karofsky interview#Diselderly#Conduct book#senior living scams#Medicare assisted living#elder care reform#caregiver burnout#elder rights advocacy#aging parents care#elder care horror stories#VA vs private elder care#Pat Cummings#Greg Godels#ZZ Blog#Coming From Left Field#CFLF#Podcast#zzblog#mltoday

As many as half a million Australians could be falling through the cracks because the mental health and suicide prevention agreement between state and federal governments is "not fit for purpose". That's the finding of the Productivity Commission, which has released a scathing report into the issue. We hear from commissioner Selwyn Button, who worked on the report, about what needs to change.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AI reasoning models have emerged in the past year as a beacon of hope for large language models (LLMs), with AI developers such as OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic selling them as the go-to solution for solving the most complex business problems. However, a new research paper by Apple has cast significant doubts on the efficacy of reasoning models, going as far as to suggest that when a problem is too complex, they simply give up. What's going on here? And does it mean reasoning models are fundamentally flawed? In this episode, Rory Bathgate speaks to ITPro's news and analysis editor Ross Kelly to explain some of the report's key findings and what it means for the future of AI development.

What makes a Jenna Brandt romance special? Flawed, loveable characters who heal each other. “I love giving characters a wound—and letting love help them mend.” Her favorite tropes? Small-town, second chance, grumpy-sunshine, and even “redeeming the villain.”   You won't want to miss this chat with inspirational romance author Jenna Brandt who is known for her inspirational romances full of humor, suspense, and elements of faith! From childhood, Jenna was surrounded by words—literally under her journalist mom's desk. But her path to publishing wasn't a straight line: querying, agents, rejections…until a friend said: “Just do it yourself!” And so she did. Jenna shares behind-the-scenes stories about her popular first responder and small town romance series—including real-life inspirations from her husband's law enforcement career—and discusses her passion for crafting authentic, heartfelt stories set in vivid locations around the world.   Are you ready for another literary escape?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. David Klurfeld—longtime USDA scientist and one of the few insiders to publicly challenge the WHO's classification of red meat as a carcinogen. We go deep into the flawed evidence behind the infamous 2015 IARC report, why nutritional epidemiology often fails to prove causality, and how a small group of researchers helped shape global policy with low-quality science. If you've ever felt confused about meat, saturated fat, or dietary guidelines, this conversation will help you think critically about what “counts” as evidence—and who gets to decide. We cover:Dr. Klurfeld's personal journey and lessons from a career in public healthWhy the 2015 IARC red meat classification was based on weak and inconsistent evidenceHow observational studies and “allegiance bias” mislead nutrition scienceThe politics of dietary guidelines and the role of the USDA and WHOWhat the media got wrong—and why red meat remains a nutrient-dense foodWhether you're a clinician, dietitian, or simply trying to make better nutrition decisions, this episode is a powerful reminder that bias, groupthink and weak data can distort science and mislead the public. We need to be discerning about the nutrition and health advice we follow. Who is Dr. David Klurfeld?Dr. David Klurfeld is a nutritional scientist and former National Program Leader for Human Nutrition at the USDA's Agricultural Research Service. He also served as Professor and Chair of Nutrition and Food Science at Wayne State University and Associate Editor of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. He has authored more than 200 scientific publications and was one of 22 experts invited to the 2015 IARC working group on red meat and cancer. He is a longtime advocate for scientific integrity in public health policy.This episode is brought to you by: LMNT- Free Sample Pack with any purchase, visit https://DrinkLMNT.com/DRLYONTimeline - Get 20% off your order of Mitopure - https://timeline.com/LYONMUDWTR - Use code DRLYON to get up to 43% off your starter kit - https://mudwtr.com/DRLYONNeeded - Use code DRLYON for 20% off your first order - https://thisisneeded.com Find Dr. David Klurfeld at: Indiana University Bloomington - https://publichealth.indiana.edu/about/directory/David-Klurfeld-dmklurfe.html Google Scholar - https://scholar.google.ca/citations?user=Ym5Og20AAAAJ&hl=en LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-klurfeld-812845209/ Find me at:Instagram:@drgabriellelyon TikTok: @drgabriellelyonFacebook: facebook.com/doctorgabriellelyonYouTube:

Dr. Kenneth Bruce Flawed Favored God's Grace In Imperfect Lives Acts 18-3, 18-19, 24-26 Priscilla & Acquila Marriage and Ministry

Throughout the book of Judges, one can see Israel's spiritual cycle of disobedience, judgment, cries for help, rescue by judges, and then relapse. They start strong (1:1-4) but fail to fully obey, blaming iron chariots (1:19) and enslaving some (1:28). Key lessons from Judges chapters 1 and 2: Disbelief breeds disaster. Forgetting God's works leads to abandoning Him. Idols enslave; God saves. Flawed judges can't fully save, but God's covenant points to Jesus, who delivers and atones. Cure: repent, obey, pray, and trust God.

A bizarre case of political impersonation, where Trump's top aide Susie Wiles is cloned (digitally, not biologically — we think), and high-ranking Republicans start getting invitations to link up with "her" on Telegram to share their Trump pardon wishlists.

Yes!  You are in!  Does this world need more Hope or Hopelessness?  Yes, I do love that rhetorical question.  As for the FriDudes and others that meet everyday of the week, we are in the Hope and Encouragement business.  Part of Hope is getting the wisdom to draw from the ultimate source.  For you have all been betrayed by someone.  For People do Peopleish things...here you go...If you dig that opening hook, that is Marcus Rogers, Best Life, please buy/subscribe to his music...Thank you Pastor Ricky Jenkins for that play of the day.   For there is a church (Southwest Church) out in the oasis of the desert, the valley of Coachella, Indian Wells, California, where you can find more of his brilliant teaching.  For those interested, here is the YouTube link to hear more...https://youtu.be/Qnl4LHMFy8A?si=UV9F0tPoYElTHl70  Avid listener, you know I love to share Rom 3:23.  For many, such an odd verse for you.  I've had some flat out ask me, why, why do you keep saying Rom 3:23.  For it is Truth and it explains a lot.  It absolutely explains the play of the day you just heard.  It explains why someone cheated, betrayed, hurt, ________ you.  We are all flawed.  It doesn't excuse those hurts.  It simply explains why People do Peopleish things.  So if you put all your Hope in people (that even includes your pastor, parents, spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend, politician, etc.).  You will get stung.  Not a matter of IF, it is a matter of When.  Give me enough time and I'll tick you off.  I may have already.  For I am flawed.  I've dug major holes with my ego, my pride.  Yet, I strive to shine a little beacon on my flaws and say my Hope goes beyond the flawed people on this earth (including myself).  My greatest moments have come when I love my Abba, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit guide first.  You may not be there yet.  Or you may believe yet how much do you really trust?  Are you a follower too?  If you are, you will learn to be content in all circumstances.  Not happy, content. Big difference.  Phil 4: 11-13.  Black belt vs. yellow belt Christianity.  We have believers.  Not enough disciples.  Definitely not enough Disciple Makers.  Check Mat 28: 19-20.  You love Jesus?  He tells you exactly what your mission should be while on this broken planet.  Are you doing that? Quit expecting perfection for people.  For Expectations - Reality = Disillusionment.  That's why many of you are depressed and/or anxious.  You want Hope?  Invest in the Ultimate Power Source.  More Hope, more Love.  Matt 22:  36-40

In this episode of Cogitations, Tony Bruin examines the striking truth that God has always used flawed men to accomplish His perfect will. Drawing from Scripture, Tony explores the lives of Moses, David, Peter, and Paul—men who failed, repented, and became powerful tools in God's hand. You'll hear how God doesn't wait for perfection, but transforms weakness into strength. This episode will challenge you to rethink how you view yourself and others in light of God's mercy and purpose.00:00 Introduction and Podcast Overview00:27 Understanding Human Flaws03:46 God Uses Flawed Men: Biblical Examples05:14 Moses: The Reluctant Leader07:33 David: A Man After God's Own Heart09:46 Peter: The Rock Who Denied Christ13:42 Paul: From Persecutor to Preacher17:34 Conclusion and Audience Interaction20:06 Closing Remarks and Community Engagement

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    Talking to a young man lately who plays guitar and he plays on a worship team. I told him I was going to be teaching a short 2 hour class to the guitar players at our church… he interrupted me and said “I am a good guitar player… And they he said it again as if I did not believe him. I kindly nodded. Now he can play guitar and he can play some rock songs… but who knows if someone is good or not right? But when he asked me what exactly I was going to be teaching my guitar players on my worship team - the first thing I said was “Diatonic harmony”… which believe it or not if you are in fact a good guitar player you would know what that is. He stared at me blankly and asked what it was. I kindly assured him he was not in fact a good guitar player. Now I have told this young man as I tell many people - You may not like what I say to you, but I will never lie to you! EVER. I will try to say it nice… most of the time - but who else will be honest with you. And today what if you can't be honest with yourself because… well you just can't. Have you ever heard of the   The Dunning-Kruger Effect and the Blindness of the Incompetent Wheeler's lemon juice story inspired researchers David Dunning and Justin Kruger to study this phenomenon in greater detait. The research-ers were intrigued by the obvious difference in people's actual abilities and how they perceive these abilities. Dunning and Kruger hypothesized that incompetent people suffer from two types of problems · Due to their incompetence, they make flawed decisions (such as robbing a bank while covered in lemon juice). · They are unable to realize the fact that they make Flawed decisions. (Not even the video footage convinced wheeler of hjs inability to be invisible he claimed that it was faked ) The researchers tested the validity of these hypotheses on a sample of participants. First they laid out a test measuring their abilities in a certain domain (logical reasoning, grammar, and humor). Then, the par- ticipants were asked to assess how good their abilities were. The research- ers discovered two interesting findings The least competent people (labeled incompetent in the research) had a tendency to significantly overestimate their abilities. In fact, the less competent they were, the more they overestimated themselves. For example, the more painfully unfunny an individual was, the funnier they thought they were. this eftect was elegantly described by Charles Darwin years ago ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge' The second interesting finding was that the most competent participants had a tendency to underestimate their abilities. Their under- rated results can be explained by the fact that if a task seems easy to them, they will have the feeling that the task is easy even for other people. In another part of the experiment, participants had the possibility to review the test results of other people. They were subsequently asked to conduct a self assessment again. Competent participants realized that they were better off than they had thought. Thus, they modified their self assessments and began to evaluate themselves more objectively.     So where am I going with this… David says something profound in Psalm 139:23-24 KJV. Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. David is not saying this as a type of challenge to God… ok, God see if you can find anything wrong in me. NO NO NO he is saying it as one who realizes he can't see everything in his life clearly.  He knows that he is blind to many of the sins, flaws, inconsistencies and choices he makes that are not Godly. WHAT A POWERFUL INSIGHT TO KNOW YOU DONT HAVE INSIGHT. RIGHT?  Meaning, how powerful it is to know that you don't know everything -especially about you.
