After an hourslong meeting, the Hermantown City Council approved a needed zoning change to advance the proposed data center that's being developed by an unnamed Fortune 50 company. MPR News host Nina Moini spoke with MPR News correspondent Dan Kraker about the meeting that lasted late into the night.

Does this sound familiar: You sit down to do some real focused work, and within minutes you've checked your phone, opened three browser tabs, and mentally planned your lunch — all without realizing it. Our attention doesn't just wander anymore. It's being quietly, relentlessly pulled apart by a world designed to fragment it, and most of us have forgotten what real focus even feels like. Zelana Montminy is a behavioral scientist who advises Fortune 500 companies and her new book is called Finding Focus: OwnYour Attention in an Age of Distraction.

Episode Description "If your fortune teller asks for $600,000, whose future are they really looking out for?" In this riveting episode of “Kent Hance, The Best Storyteller in Texas,” Kent dives headfirst into the wild world of fortune tellers, internet rumors, and the ever-shifting American workplace. Kent opens with a tale from Montgomery County, where fortune tellers convinced locals to part with staggering sums—all in the name of happiness and curses. With his trademark wit, Kent recalls his days as a young lawyer defending a fortune teller in Lubbock, weaving in lessons about skepticism and the power of persuasion. The episode doesn't stop at fortune-telling. Kent explores viral internet rumors—like the great Polish potato heist—and discuss how misinformation can spark chaos in unexpected places. Listeners are treated to stories of lottery winners, workplace surveys, and the surprising dreams of Gen Z, including one respondent whose “American dream” is to retire to the coast of Scotland with their cats. Kent's insights on workplace toxicity are especially timely, as he shares memorable anecdotes about office politics and the importance of a healthy work environment. “If you get somebody toxic, you gotta let them go quick or you'll have all the office leaving and quitting,” Kent warns, highlighting the delicate balance between mental health and job security. The episode is peppered with nostalgia—Yellow Pages, floppy disks, and Blockbuster—reminding listeners how quickly technology can upend entire industries. Kent's reflections on exercise, multitasking, and the wisdom of living for today round out the show, leaving listeners with practical advice and plenty of laughs. Notable Quotes & Moments: “I've never had somebody turn down a hundred dollar bill anywhere in the world.” “The internet killed the Yellow Pages—and changed everything.” “Halloween displays so realistic, the fire department showed up 30 times!”   Call to Action Don't miss this episode packed with unforgettable stories, sharp insights, and Kent's legendary Texas humor.

Join me as I chat with Jonathan Courtney about how businesses can thrive by going against current digital trends, particularly by offering premium in-person experiences while others focus on AI and virtual offerings. He shares how his company has successfully transitioned from digital-only to in-person events, charging higher prices for physical experiences that consistently sell out. The conversation explores how physical products and experiences create perceived value, authenticity, and scarcity that digital alternatives cannot replicate.

Stem cells sit quietly in protective niches until growth factors wake them, chemokines guide them to damaged tissue, and local signals shape them into exactly what's needed. We invited Dr. Dan Pardi, Chief Health Officer at Qualia Life Sciences, to break down that invisible choreography—why it weakens with age and how to support it without pushing the system into overdrive.We start by making stem cells simple: potency tiers, key types like hematopoietic and mesenchymal, and what “exhaustion” really means. Dan explains how inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and epigenetic drift—core hallmarks of aging—distort the niche and blunt self-renewal. From there, we map the full life cycle: quiescence, activation, mobilization, migration, and differentiation guided by ancient pathways like Wnt, Notch, and Sonic Hedgehog. Understanding this sequence clarifies the therapy landscape, from evidence-backed marrow transplants to targeted orthopedic injections, and why unproven IV offerings can be risky.If you care about healthy aging, joint health, recovery, and evidence-based wellness, this conversation offers a grounded roadmap. We keep the science clear, the hype in check, and the focus on balance—protect, pulse, and let biology do its best work.

In this episode, Michael sits down with Kym to talk about how businesses can not only survive but thrive with artificial intelligence. After her company lost 80% of its revenue due to executive orders, Kym led a bold pivot into AI. She shares how her team automated workflows, cut costs, and freed up resources to launch new ventures. Michael points out why this kind of hands-on experience sets her apart in guiding other organizations through AI transformation. Why Strategy Matters Did you know that 95% of AI implementations fail? Michael and Kym dig into the reasons why. Too many organizations jump in without understanding their current systems, creating more chaos instead of solutions. The two stress the importance of starting with an AI audit—identifying inefficiencies and revenue leaks—before ever choosing a tool. AI and Organizational Insight Michael and Kym highlight the gap between executive views and front-line experiences. By listening to employees who work closest to the systems, leaders can uncover real bottlenecks and opportunities. They argue that AI should enhance processes, not replace people, and that smart adaptation to current economic conditions matters more than long-term guesswork. Addressing Employee Concerns Kym addresses the fear of AI taking jobs. Instead, she frames AI as a companion—augmenting employees' abilities and giving them space for creativity and productivity. Michael adds that when used wisely, AI helps businesses find new growth opportunities and sharpen their focus. Both stress the importance of thoughtful planning, privacy safeguards, and data responsibility. Technology's Broader Impact The conversation also explores how innovations like predictive analytics are already woven into everyday life, from mortgages to personalized ads. Michael emphasizes using technology to increase efficiency and create meaningful work, while also recognizing the ongoing debates around privacy and data use. Skills That Transfer Kym also shares how her background in nursing shaped her approach to consulting, underscoring the power of transferable skills. She encourages listeners to examine their own roles, projects, and metrics for growth opportunities. Michael closes by highlighting Kym's expertise and her commitment to helping businesses and communities adapt to an AI-driven world.

Coming up on this episode of Flirtations, we're talking on of the most universal experiences we all share — loneliness. Joining us is Dr. James Ellis, a psychologist known online as @lonelinessdoctor, whose work explores how loneliness shapes our lives — and what it takes to find connection again. We talk about why meeting people can feel so hard in today, the visible and invisible barriers that keep us from reaching out, and how micro connections - those tiny, everyday exchanges - can actually rewire our sense of belonging. We also explore how external validation ties into our self-worth, and how the search for connection can sometimes become a search for ourselves — because who we are often reveals itself through what we do, how we show up, and how we let others see us. How we connect with our world. This episode is about more than just loneliness — it's about rediscovering the art of connection, one moment, one breath, one flirt at a time. Let's do this Flirties, and meet Dr. Ellis!

Tyler breaks down why Utah breeds D2D champions (Mormon missions = rejection boot camp), how to handle "no soliciting" signs the right way, and the mindset shift separating six-figure earners from quitters—it's not about avoiding rejection, it's about controlling your energy recovery time. If you're trapped in a low-wage grind, swapping your precious time for scraps, here's your wake-up call: step up to commissions, master your mindset, and attack every door like it's your golden ticket. Stop working harder for less—start working smarter for more.  

Unfortunately, it is not just news, entertainment, school, and medicine that have been hijacked and deformed beyond recognition. History falls into this shameful condition as well.

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ In this hard-hitting Dropping Bombs episode, Ken Goodrich shows exactly how he went from an IRS wipeout with only a two-man crew to orchestrating multi-million-dollar exits. From the flashlight-with-Dad origin story and reading The E-Myth 33 times (and later co-authoring the trades edition with Michael Gerber) to teaming with the Wizard of Ads, Ken reveals why most owners crash before they cash out—and the 3-year plan he uses to sprint a business from busted to bankable. Here's the real playbook: join a best-practice group, quantify everything, and buy momentum—if the phone's ringing, there's value. Tell a story that sells so buyers line up. Steer clear of MCA debt (or renegotiate fast), remove bottlenecks, recruit killers, and spot nine-figure opportunities hiding in plain sight. If you're serious about scaling—or selling—this is your wake-up call to document, differentiate, and sprint for 1,000 days.
