Podcasts about Fragility

Proverbs 19:4-7 pulls back the curtain on an uncomfortable truth about human relationships: favor is often fragile when it is built on advantage. Wealth tends to gather companions, while poverty exposes how conditional many friendships can be. These verses do not merely describe economic disparity; they reveal the instability of relationships rooted in self-interest. When status fades, or resources diminish, so do many associations. Wisdom invites us to look beyond the surface of social popularity and examine the foundation beneath our connections. Are they grounded in loyalty and righteousness, or in benefit and convenience?

A viral report claims 2028 is the year AI destroys the global economy. Are we sleepwalking into a crisis nobody can stop?In this episode of Bricks, Bucks & Bytes, Owen, Patric, Martin and Dustin rip apart a fictional financial report from Citrini Research that has taken the internet by storm. Chapter by chapter, they debate whether AI will trigger an unstoppable economic death spiral or whether the doomsayers are missing the bigger picture entirely. The conversation then shifts to what is actually happening right now in construction, with fresh market intelligence from Procore and a deep dive into Autodesk's massive $200 million bet on a company called World Labs.Topics discussed:The "Intelligence Displacement Spiral" and why every company doing the smart thing could collectively wreck the economyWhy Patric believes a robot tax is the only way to keep society stable in an AI-driven worldProcore's latest data showing construction is splitting into two completely different economiesThe 400,000 worker shortage and 41% of the US construction workforce heading for retirement by 2031What Dustin learned running a Sales Kickoff and why buying software based on features is a mistakeAutodesk's $200 million investment in World Labs and why Patrick calls the term "world model" offensiveWhether vibe coders could ever vibe code a vibe coder (and what the answer tells us about AI's real limits)"If you truly want to live with AI, you need to start shifting from salary tax to robot tax.

Summary Justin and Adam are joined by several guests for a conversation exploring the intricate relationship between food and culture in Hawaii, emphasizing the historical significance of traditional practices, the impact of introduced species, and ongoing efforts to revive indigenous food systems. They highlight the importance of sustainability, stewardship, and the cultural memory embedded in food practices, while addressing the challenges posed by modern dependency on imported food. - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave a Review of the Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy our Wild Fish and Game Spices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Art of Venison Sausage Making Special Guests Lei Wann Kealoha Domingo Audrey Wilson Chapters 00:00 The Ancient Connection of Food and Land in Hawaii 01:23 Understanding Hawaii's Food Landscape 02:15 The Significance of Taro and Poi 04:11 Polynesian Agricultural Innovations 06:24 The Impact of Introduced Species on Ecosystems 08:45 Cultural Practices in Foraging and Hunting 10:47 Traditional Aquaculture and Food Evolution 11:17 The Practicality of Poke and Food Waste 13:41 Seasonal Gathering and Environmental Awareness 16:59 Historical Shifts in Food Sovereignty 19:24 Food Memory and Practical Sovereignty 21:41 The Fragility of Hawaii's Food Systems 24:53 The Importance of Cultural Practices in Conservation 26:48 Reviving Traditional Knowledge and Practices 28:56 Supporting Local Food Systems 30:11 The Tension of Food Dependency in Modern Hawaii Takeaways Hawaii's food culture is deeply intertwined with its land and history. Taro and poi are central to Hawaiian identity and genealogy. Polynesian settlers created sophisticated agricultural systems. Introduced species have drastically altered Hawaii's ecosystems. Foraging practices reflect a deep respect for nature and conservation. Aquaculture has ancient roots in Hawaiian culture. Poke originated from practical uses of fish, minimizing waste. Seasonal changes dictate gathering practices and food availability. Food sovereignty has been compromised by historical shifts in land control. Cultural practices are essential for conservation and sustainability.

Policy Seminar | IFPRI Policy Seminar Promoting Resilience through Improved Varieties, Quality Seed, and Better Seed Systems: Lessons from Nigeria Part of the Fragility to Stability Seminar Series February 11, 2026 Across sub-Saharan Africa, small-scale, resource-poor farmers are disproportionately affected by climatic and market shocks. Providing them with the tools and technologies to manage these shocks is critical to building resilience, especially in Nigeria, with its considerable diversity. This seminar will showcase novel evidence of how improved crop varieties, quality seed, and better seed systems can lead to improved outcomes in productivity, resilience, and nutrition across several Nigerian states. The event will bring together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to present and reflect on this evidence, providing insights into adoption, demand, willingness to pay, complementarity of inputs, yields, and household consumption. The discussion will center on lessons for promoting improved inputs across similar settings, with a focus on how inputs can most effectively be marketed to vulnerable households to promote resilience. Introduction and Opening Remarks Oliver Kiptoo Kirui, Research Fellow and Acting Program Leader, IFPRI Nigeria Internal Displacement and the Promotion of Agricultural Intensification in Nigeria Rewa Misra, Head National Policy and Innovative Finance, HarvestPlus-IFPRI Interventions to Accelerate Varietal Turnover and Enhance Seed Resilience in Northern Nigeria Catherine Ragasa, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI New Evidence on the Productivity, Profitability, and Welfare Impacts of Insect-Resistant Cowpea in Nigeria Mulubrhan Amare, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI Panel Discussion Chinedu Agbara, Partner, Sahel Consulting Jonathan Mockshell, Scientist and Project Leader, Alliance Bioversity & CIAT Muhyideen Oyekunle, Maize Breeder/Lecturer, Institute for Agricultural Research (IAR) Jada Mohammed, Oxfam Novib Closing Remarks Arun Baral, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), HarvestPlus-IFPRI Moderator Kate Ambler, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI More about this Event: https://www.ifpri.org/event/promoting-resilience-through-improved-varieties-quality-seed-and-better-seed-systems-lessons-from-nigeria/ Subscribe IFPRI Insights newsletter and event announcements at www.ifpri.org/content/newsletter-subscription

Subscribe to Investing In Bizarro World: @bizarroworld Editor's Note: We will have a new gold/antimony private placement open this week in Private Placement Intel. It's a tiny company with a C$7 million market cap that has secured some very prospective projects in Victoria, Australia. We have had great success with gold/antimony in previous deals, including with Southern Cross Gold in Victoria, which now sports a C$2.6 billion market cap. We also did very well with Perpetua Resources (formerly Midas Gold), which is now being built and has a US$3.5 billion market cap. No guarantees this new deal gets that big, but there's a lot of room between C$7 million and a few billion, and it has similar hallmarks. The deal will be open tomorrow. We have very little space left at Private Placement Intel. Click here to join: https://bit.ly/4ary0i7Macro Musings - Gold, silver, and copper are still in a bull market — but the path is going to be violent. We talked about how consolidations that used to take weeks now take days, sometimes hours, and Thursday's whipsaw was the perfect example: silver went from $90 to $65 in a single session. This is what a market looks like when paper positioning, leverage, and volatility are elevated. Nick walked through why S&P volatility has been manageable even with tech-heavy selling, while precious metals volatility has been the real story. The gold volatility gauge (GVZ) has been high enough to produce outsized daily ranges, and that's exactly what we're living through. On the macro backdrop, the message stayed consistent: inflation is still cooling, growth is still there, and the rate picture isn't signaling a hawkish regime. The dollar remains weak overall, and the two-year yield continues to suggest the Federal Reserve isn't gearing up to hike — which is fuel for the metals complex as the year progresses.Market Takes - The takeaway this week was simple: don't confuse volatility with failure. We said it plainly — gold can pull back and still be bullish, silver can retrace hard and still be fine, and copper can dip without breaking the bigger trend. If you'd been told a year ago we'd be talking about $4,800 gold and $74 silver as “stressful,” you would've laughed — and that perspective matters. We also emphasized how distorted tape action gets when volatility spikes. Strong earnings and good drill results can still sell off in the moment, not because fundamentals suddenly changed, but because liquidity, positioning, and risk management take over. That's why we kept repeating the discipline: know what you own, know why you own it, and use pullbacks to build positions — not to panic-sell them. We also hit uranium: the market's fixation on spot misses the bigger driver, which is contracting. Utilities are negotiating long-term pounds in a wide range, and the bigger question is what happens when availability tightens further and the ceiling moves higher. We closed this section with a quick Crypto Cycle note: Chris flagged a crypto winter setup, Bitcoin fell below $70,000 this week, and his view is a cyclical bear market that could bottom later this year around $58,000 or lower depending on the macro. The point wasn't doom — it was process: sometimes doing nothing is the right move, and patience can be an asset class.Bizarro Banter - We went where the headlines won't. The Epstein scandal and the government's handling of the files is beyond grotesque, and we said it plainly: redacting predators while exposing victims is cruelty — and the absence of meaningful arrests is the scandal layered on top of the scandal. The story is being managed instead of resolved: Speaker Mike Johnson dismissing it as “partying,” the broader donor-protection reality, and the global nature of the network. We talked about how the same elite ecosystem that preaches rules for everyone else operates through backchannels, favors, and protection — and how partisan tribalism keeps people from uniting around the obvious moral line: anybody involved in trafficking and abuse should be pursued and prosecuted, period. Brett Ratner, director of the “Melania” move, is in the files. Kathy Ruemmler, who was White House Counsel to Obama, is in the files. Brad Karp, chairman of Trump-preferred law firm Paul Weiss, is in the file. Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Giants owner Steve Tisch are in the files. British royalty are in the files. The Rothschilds are in the files. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak is in the files. It's both sides. It's the global elite. And it's rotten.0:00 Introduction1:46 Macro Musings: Gold Volatility Explained. Metals Bull Intact. Dollar Weakness Persists. Buy-the-Dip Discipline.9:15 Market Takes: Tether Gold Buying.

Legendary Take That songwriter Gary Barlow joins us to share the most honest account of failure, shame, and rebuilding we've ever recorded on High Performance.The recent Netflix documentary charted Take That's journey - the split, Robbie's solo success, the comeback. But what it couldn't capture was Gary's seven-year internal collapse. The songwriter and leader everyone expected would conquer solo stardom was drowning while Robbie soared.After a catastrophic American launch performance, Gary walked alone through the rain with nobody from his label. What followed was seven years where he couldn't sing, couldn't play piano, couldn't even listen to music. Seven years of sitting in his studio pretending to work while doing nothing. Seven years of deliberate weight gain as armor and public shaming.Key moments include:* Trust Your Gut Over External Authority: How ignoring his instincts for industry pressure led to catastrophic consequences he never recovered from* The Fragility of Creative Confidence: Why someone who doubts themselves cannot create wholeheartedly - and how one moment can dismantle years of evidence* Understanding Shame vs Accepting It: Why he deliberately gained weight as armor and what it teaches us about controlling the uncontrollable* Small Steps Over Grand Gestures: His first run while overweight and smoking - giggling at how far he had to go but knowing he was finally "on the road"* Creating Psychological Safety: How Take That's reunion principle of "let's lose all the dickheads" transformed their worst years into their bestThis is a conversation about the fragility of creative confidence, how one moment of not trusting your gut can derail everything, and how the way back isn't through therapy or grand gestures - it's putting trainers on, lifting the piano lid, and just turning up.Our partners on this episode:Simba

An angry, upset rant on the reality of college campuses & the absolute savarna fragility of overreaction over the UGC Guidelines

Today, we unpack the Friday crash in silver, and to a lesser extent gold, noting that the Kevin Warsh as Fed Chair nominee news was a mere excuse for a market that was already showing signs of total dysfunction, as covered in our Thursday January 29 podcast. Elsewhere, we look at the general contagion of the metals volatility into other markets, including in rates, FX and equities, where we continue to monitor some strange behaviors that my suggest considerable market fragility. Today's pod features Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen and is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy. The two links mentioned on today's pod: Izabella Kaminska on X, one of the greatest observers of narrative versus reality and measurer of the Zeitgeist. Especially this post caught my eye today. Russell Napier's most recent appearance on a podcast - one of the most important thinkers about the new market regime we are in and the need to ask the right questions appropriate to that regime. Two or three times per week, you will also find links discussed on the podcast and a chart-of-the-day over at the John J. Hardy substack.

Abhay shares a chat with pioneering polar explorer Preet Chandi.  Born and raised in Derby in England, Preet is a British Army officer, a physiotherapist, and a record‑breaking adventure athlete who became the first woman of color to complete a solo expedition to the South Pole. She has since gone on to break multiple Guinness World Records for solo, unsupported Antarctic ski expeditions, using her journeys to challenge perceived norms about who belongs in extreme adventure environments and to inspire others to push their own boundaries. Preet shares her journey of adventure, the importance of discipline over motivation, and how her cultural heritage and community support fuel her expeditions. She discusses the challenges of preparation, facing fears, and the vulnerability that comes with pushing boundaries. Preet emphasizes the significance of learning from failures and the need for self-acceptance in achieving success. Preet encourages all of us to take our first steps in finding and realizing our own adventures, no matter how daunting they may seem.(0:00 - 2:34) Introduction(2:34) Part 1 - Everyday rituals and adventures, Training and resilience(13:02) Sponsor break: Travelopod(13:37) Part 2 - Dealing with miscues and fear, Ambition and humility,  Identity and Fundraising(29:45) Sponsor break: Timberdog(30:16) Part 3 - Fragility on a Polar Expedition, The meaning of Adventure and Exploring(38:35) ConclusionPlease help support Preet on her next journey to become the first woman to travel solo to the North Pole: https://www.gofundme.com/f/next-expeditionTRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING is brought to you by TRAVELOPOD, with personalized travel support to help you explore the wonders of the world.  Start your next journey at vacation.travelopod.comThis episode is also sponsored by RuffRest® , the only dog bed you'll ever need.  Go to www.timberdog.com to learn more

In this episode, hosts Joel Cheesman and Chad Sowash sit down with Business Insider economy reporter Allie Kelly to unpack the real story behind the white-collar bloodbath sweeping across America. Far from the easy narrative blaming AI for vanishing jobs, Kelly reveals how sky-high Federal Reserve interest rates are choking company hiring, why aggressive deportation policies are quietly shrinking the labor force in key industries, and how a stubbornly low quit rate masks a job market that feels frozen for millions. Despite an unemployment rate hovering just above 4%, white-collar workers in tech and finance are stuck sending hundreds of applications into the void—while a massive skills mismatch leaves hot sectors desperate for talent. If you're frustrated with today's job hunt or wondering when the market will thaw, this no-holds-barred conversation cuts through the noise and delivers the economic truths everyone needs to hear.

Air Date: 1/21/2026 Today we look at ICE's reign of terror as a paramilitary occupation force and the communities pushing back. We'll hear about Renee Goode, an unarmed woman shot dead by federal agents, and Keith Porter, killed by an off-duty agent on New Year's Eve, in addition to historical parallels from Civil-Rights Era Selma, Alabama and the Boston Massacre. The signs of hope here are that the oppressed won those fights and the oppressors were forced to retreat - there's every reason to believe that the same pattern can repeat today. Be part of the show!

Perhaps we are so afraid of grief because we have forgotten how vast we humans are and can be. When we forget this, we mistake ourselves for a tiny receptacle, unable to imagine that we can meet life as it is. And then how little we let in, and how frightened we get of feeling the immensity both of our sadness and of the wonder of being here. In this episode we consider what it is to let ourselves widen, to relax our defendedness and our clinging-on so we can find ourselves in the sacredness that is both love and grief together, and meet one another - and life - there.This week's Turning Towards Life is hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.Episode Overview00:00 Introduction and Overview02:20 The Source of Inspiration: Mark Nepo's Poem06:47 Exploring Love and Grief12:31 The Interconnection of Emotions18:41 The Holiness of Life and Death24:57 Embracing the Fragility of Existence30:29 The Invitation to Expand Our Hearts37:47 Conclusion and ReflectionThis is Turning Towards Life, a weekly live 30 minute conversation hosted by Thirdspace in which Justin Wise and Lizzie Winn dive deep into big questions of human living.

Fr. Kyrillos Ibrahim- Homily for the 1st Sunday of Tobi. The first Sunday after Nativity relates the Holy Family's flight to Egypt and the slaughter of the innocents. We find both the hope and light of the Incarnation, but also its opposition. This reveals both the fragility of the human condition and its resilience by the grace and power of God in our lives.

The Pittsburgh Steelers went from a team that could take care of business against a quality opponent to one who could not get the job done against one of the bottom teams in the league when missing a few key players.
