Podcasts about Fragmentation

44% of marketers say media fragmentation is one of their biggest concerns. But is it really threatening effectiveness—or just exposing weak planning?This week, Elena, Angela, and Rob tackle the fragmentation debate head-on. They explore why reach hasn't disappeared, how creative consistency beats endless platform optimization, and why the smartest response to complexity is simplicity. Plus, hear why doubling down on what works might be better than chasing every new channel.Topics covered: [01:00] Why 44% of marketers worry about media fragmentation[05:00] Mass reach moments and the obsession with live sports[09:00] Creative consistency across channels: IKEA as a model[12:00] Why narrowing targeting actually shrinks growth potential[15:00] Planning fundamentals that prevent fragmentation chaos[18:00] The importance of reinforcement over reinvention To learn more, visit marketingarchitects.com/podcast or subscribe to our newsletter at marketingarchitects.com/newsletter.  Resources: WARC Article: https://www.warc.com/content/paywall/article/warc-talks/staying-effective-in-a-lots-of-little-media-market/en-GB/159439? Get more research-backed marketing strategies by subscribing to The Marketing Architects on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

For episode 236, we're excited to welcome Jamie Green, COO of Superset, a crypto start-up on a mission to improve stablecoin efficiency & reliability. Before building in Web3, he worked across startups, venture, and the United Nations; including on programs supporting Syrian refugees with blockchain.In this episode, we dive into why fragmented stablecoin liquidity across chains is one of the biggest bottlenecks to real-world adoption; how Superset is building infrastructure to make stablecoin FX cheaper and more dependable; and what builders can learn from operating at the intersection of finance, humanitarian systems, and Web3.You'll learn:

Le capitalisme ne vole pas seulement notre temps : il grignote aussi notre attention… jusque dans nos assiettes.Le lien de ma news offerte : https://charlyskitchen.substack.com/p/sous-pression-le-cout-invisible-du?r=8jnn4Manger est censé être un moment simple. Pourtant, pour beaucoup d'entre nous, c'est devenu un acte pressé, morcelé, presque automatique. Un repas pris devant un écran, entre deux messages, une réunion ou une charge mentale qui ne s'éteint jamais vraiment.Dans ce deuxième épisode de la mini-série LE CAPITALISME DANS NOS ASSIETTES, je vous invite à regarder de plus près ce qui se joue quand notre attention est fragmentée et ce que cela change profondément dans notre rapport à la nourriture, à la satiété et au plaisir de manger.Quand l'attention est constamment sollicitée, le corps reçoit moins bien ses propres signaux. On peut manger plus que nécessaire, se sentir peu satisfait·e, ou avoir l'impression de ne jamais vraiment “finir” un repas. C'est souvent la conséquence directe d'un environnement qui valorise le multitâche, la réactivité permanente et l'optimisation de chaque minute.Je parle ici de repas sous écran, de distraction numérique, de charge mentale, mais aussi de ce que cela dit de notre organisation collective du travail et du temps. Car tout le monde n'a pas la possibilité de s'arrêter, de manger dans le calme, ou de s'offrir une vraie pause. Les conditions matérielles, professionnelles et familiales pèsent lourdement sur la manière dont on mange et sur la façon dont on se juge ensuite !Culpabilité, quand tu nous tiens !Dans cet épisode, je vous propose de déculpabiliser, mais aussi d'observer. Non pas pour manger “parfaitement”, mais pour comprendre comment l'attention influence la faim, la satisfaction et le lien au corps. Et pour voir s'il est possible, parfois, de retrouver un peu plus de présence.Si vous avez déjà eu le sentiment de manger sans vraiment être là, de ne plus savoir quand vous avez faim ou quand vous êtes rassasié·e, ce n'est pas que votre corps vous lâche. Il essaie peut-être simplement de fonctionner dans un monde qui capte votre attention en continu.

AI is hitting entertainment like a sledgehammer ... from algorithmic gatekeepers and AI-written scripts to digital actors and entire movies generated from a prompt.In this episode of TechFirst, host John Koetsier sits down with Larry Namer, founder of E! Entertainment Television and chairman of the World Film Institute, to unpack what AI really means for Hollywood, creators, and the global media economy.Larry explains why AI is best understood as a productivity amplifier rather than a creativity killer, collapsing months of work into hours while freeing creators to focus on what only humans can do. He shares how AI is lowering barriers to entry, enabling underserved niches, and accelerating new formats like vertical drama, interactive storytelling, and global-first content.The conversation also dives into:• Why AI-generated actors still lack true human empathy• How studios and IP owners will be forced to license their content to AI companies• The future of deepfakes, guardrails, and regulation• Why market fragmentation isn't a threat — it's an opportunity• How China, Korea, and global platforms are shaping what comes next • Why writers and storytellers may be entering their best era yetLarry brings decades of perspective from every major media transition — cable, streaming, global expansion — and makes the case that AI is just the next tool in a long line of transformative technologies.If you care about the future of movies, television, creators, and culture, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.⸻

What happens when hope doesn't save you — but reveals the truth? In this deeply personal manifesto episode, Dr. Connie Cheung shares how kidney failure, repeated near-transplants, and life on dialysis dismantled a false identity built on performance, resilience, and survival — and returned her to herself. This is not a story of toxic positivity or glossy healing. It's a meditation on paradox: ✨ gratitude and grief ✨ hope and fear ✨ control and surrender ✨ survival and freedom Drawing from lived experience as a patient, clinician, and founder of EASE OS™, this episode explores why healing is not linear, why fixing yourself often perpetuates suffering, and why true wholeness comes from integration — not answers. You'll hear reflections on: ✔️ Why chronic illness often initiates identity collapse ✔️ The hidden cost of resilience and "being brave" ✔️ Fragmentation in modern healthcare and why integration matters Carl Jung's idea of individuation, lived — not theorized Why many people are living in lives that don't fit — and how to reorient without abandoning yourself This episode is for anyone who feels tired of trying to get it right, tired of fixing, tired of forcing certainty — and ready to live with presence instead. Subscribe, follow, and stay — if you're ready to heal without abandoning yourself. #healingjourney #chronicillness #kidneyfailure #dialysislife #non-linearhealing #nervoussystemregulation #integrationvsfragmentation #CarlJungindividuation #EASEOS #somatichealing #functionalmedicine #yogaandhealing #emotionalresilience #livingwithuncertainty Be sure to subscribe to our podcast and YouTube channel so you never miss an episode of the EASE OS: Less Effort, More Power!

DescriptionDavid Diener, Assistant Professor of Education at Hillsdale College and president of The Alcuin Fellowship, joins Christopher Perrin to reflect on how a philosopher's training can become a vocational doorway into the renewal of classical education. Drawing from years in K–12 school leadership and now higher education, Diener describes why classical schools often foster unusually rich intellectual community—and why that matters in an age of academic fragmentation. He also introduces Hillsdale's Master of Arts in Classical Education (MACE), a program designed to address one of the movement's biggest bottlenecks: forming well-equipped teachers and administrators. The conversation highlights how enduring philosophical anchors—from Plato and Aristotle to Aquinas—can be translated into concrete classroom practice. Diener then traces the role of The Alcuin Fellowship in deepening the movement's historical and theoretical grounding, including its influence on The Liberal Arts Tradition. Finally, they look outward to the global growth of classical Christian education, including partnerships and training initiatives in Africa, such as the Rafiki Foundation, and expanding work across Latin America. David Diener has a forthcoming monograph in Spanish that will provide chapter-length essays on various aspects of classical Christian education. Additionally, he has an upcoming course on ClassicalU.com will release in the spring of 2026.Episode OutlineFrom philosophy to teaching: Diener's academic formation, early teaching experience abroad, and why education became his focusWhy classical schools attract scholars: the “faculty-of-friends” culture and how it can outpace typical undergraduate settingsHillsdale's MACE program: structure, distinctives, and the need for teacher formation at scaleThe Alcuin Fellowship: purpose, retreats, the “scholar-practitioner” model, and the ecosystem role it playsPublications and intellectual consolidation: how collaborative work helped birth The Liberal Arts Tradition by Kevin Clark, DLS, and Ravi Jain Global and Latin American growth: partnerships, conferences, and emerging networks across continentsKey Topics & TakeawaysFormation Through Practices: What we repeatedly do shapes what we love.Classical Schools as Intellectual Communities: Classical faculties often cultivate cross-disciplinary conversation and shared learning in ways that counter modern academic siloing.Theory-to-Practice Formation: Strong programs don't leave philosophy abstract—they press big ideas into classroom realities and school leadership decisions.The Teacher-Leader Pipeline is the Bottleneck: Sustainable growth depends on forming more capable teachers and administrators, not merely opening more schools.Why MACE is Built the Way it is: A shared core creates common language and vision; later specialization prepares teachers and leaders for distinct roles.Fellowship as Infrastructure for Renewal: The Alcuin Fellowship functions as a hub for scholar-practitioners who think deeply and serve schools faithfully.From Local Renewal to Global Opportunity: The movement's growth is increasingly international, with meaningful work underway in Africa and expanding initiatives in Latin America.Questions & DiscussionWhat kind of “fragmentation” have you experienced in education (or your own formation)?What practices have helped you move toward integration?Why might a classical school faculty create stronger intellectual friendship than many modern institutions?Compare your current context to a “lunch-table culture” where teachers learn together across disciplines. What would it take to cultivate that kind of shared learning where you are?What is the role of a fellowship (formal or informal) in renewing an educational tradition?Identify one fellowship function you most need: reading, conversation, research, mentoring, or mutual sharpening. What could be your next practical step to build that community?How should the classical renewal relate to other organizations and conferences in the movement?What do you hope conferences and associations provide beyond inspiration (formation, scholarship, standards, support)? How can leaders prevent “event energy” from replacing sustained local practice?What opportunities—and challenges—come with global growth of classical Christian education?Discuss the difference between exporting a model and serving a local culture with deep roots. What do “curriculum accessibility” and “teacher training resources” mean in practical terms?Suggested Reading & ResourcesThe Liberal Arts Tradition by Kevin Clark, DLS, and Ravi JainThe Liberal Arts Tradition (Audiobook) by Kevin Clark, DLS, and Ravi JainRafiki FoundationThe Rafiki Foundation PodcastAssociation of Classical Christian Schools (ACCS)Society for Classical Learning (SCL)Hillsdale CollegeHillsdale AcademyThe Alcuin FellowshipDr. Christopher Perrin on Substack 

Banking innovation usually gets reduced to apps and features.But the real changes are happening underneath.In this episode of Couchonomics with Arjun, Richard Davies, CEO of Allica Bank, joins the couch to talk about how challenger banks are actually rebuilding SME banking in the UK.Richard breaks down why established SMEs need a very different banking model, why go-to-market is harder than building the technology, and how value, trust, and low cost structures become the real advantage over time.The conversation moves through how digital banking has matured in the UK, what open banking really delivers today, how AI is being used inside regulated banks, and where stablecoins and tokenised money actually make sense and where they do not.An honest discussion on SME credit gaps, the limits of the super-app idea, the role of humans in an AI-led bank, and what the next decade of challenger banking could realistically look like.

If you feel scattered, overwhelmed, or not fully here, this episode is for you.On this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I speak with Maria Christina Owl, author of Planetary Ascension: The Purpose of 3D and the Choice We Face, spiritual mentor, ceremonial leader, and teacher of indigenous wisdom technologies and energy medicine. For over 25 years, Maria has helped people break trauma patterns, reclaim soul fragments, and reconnect to the living web of life.We explore what it actually means to be a multidimensional human—through dreams, astral travel, intuition, and quantum DNA—and how many of us are unknowingly living inside “false timelines” that pull us away from our authentic soul path. Maria explains how to recognize when you're off your true timeline, how fragmentation occurs through trauma, and how to begin calling your soul parts back through the body, somatic awareness, and loving adult consciousness.We also dive into:Working consciously on the astral plane: silver cord, solar plexus portal, and why nightmares are often a recall mechanismReversal grids, the “inverted pyramid,” and shifting from over-giving to receiving support from the universePsychic interference and entities—and why Maria lives by the mantra “I have no enemies”Planetary ascension, solar light, changing Earth grids, and what acceleration in 2026–2027 might really be aboutGrief as a teacher and how being forged in the fire of loss can open us to deeper compassion and embodied loveIf you've ever felt like you're in the wrong reality, stuck in loops, or exhausted by unseen energies, this conversation offers both language and practice for coming back to your highest timeline—through love, sovereignty, and wholeness.Tune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness.

High performers often experience burnout and role confusion not because they're broken, but because they learned to split themselves to stay effective. This episode explores why that adaptation formed—and how integration brings relief without losing your edge.Many high-capacity humans don't feel burned out because they're doing too much. They feel tired, disconnected, or quietly empty because they've learned to live divided.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores the moment—often unspoken—when capable, responsible people learned they needed two versions of themselves to survive, lead, or stay effective.Not because they failed.But because adaptation worked.In this episode, we explore:Why role confusion and identity drift often form in high performersHow fragmentation functions as intelligence under pressure, not dysfunctionThe hidden cost of success without fulfillmentWhy integration feels like relief, not reinventionHow burnout recovery begins with identity coherence, not more strategiesThe quiet grief many leaders carry for the version of themselves that held everything togetherJulie reframes fragmentation through the lens of Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR)—not as a mindset tactic or productivity tool, but as the root-level realignment that makes every other approach finally work.This episode speaks directly to those experiencing:Decision fatigue without obvious overloadSpiritual exhaustion beneath outward competenceSuccess that looks good but feels slightly removedA longing to stop holding everything together internallyYou'll hear why:Fragmentation was once protectiveWholeness does not mean slowing down or losing effectivenessIntegration allows parts of you that have been waiting to come homeThis is not an invitation to fix yourself.It's permission to stop paying for effectiveness with separation.Today's Micro RecalibrationWhat part of me learned it wasn't safe to be fully here—and what does that part need now?Stay with whatever surfaces.No urgency. No analysis.Just enough presence to let truth land.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Marketing is shifting — and many brands feel it, even if they can't yet name it. In this episode, Sonia Thompson speaks with Bennie F. Johnson, CEO of the American Marketing Association, about the AMA 2026 Marketing Trends shaping the future of modern marketing and growth marketing. They unpack how trust in marketing, AI in marketing, and audience fragmentation are rewriting the rules of growth — driving up customer acquisition costs, raising expectations for relevance, and reshaping how brands build credibility in identity-driven communities. Drawing on insights from the AMA's 2026 Future Trends in Marketing research, this conversation explores what's changing beneath the surface — from responsible artificial intelligence, inclusive leadership, and evolving workforce models to the implications for growth strategy in today's complex marketing environment.

Recorded live at the 2025 MBA Annual in Las Vegas, this special episode of Market Pulse explores how down payment assistance programs can help unlock homeownership amid today's affordability challenges. Joel Rickman of Equifax sits down with Rob Chrane, Founder and CEO of Down Payment Resource, to discuss how lenders, real estate professionals, and technology can better connect buyers to thousands of available programs—and why awareness, education, and alignment are key to getting more families into homes.In this episode:What is down payment assistance, and how does it help homebuyers?Down payment assistance (DPA) includes grants, forgivable loans, and other programs that help cover down payments and closing costs. These programs can significantly reduce upfront cash requirements and make homeownership more accessible—especially for first-time buyers and middle-income households.How many down payment assistance programs exist today?According to Down Payment Resource's latest Homeownership Program Index, there are more than 2,600 active homeownership assistance programs nationwide, administered by over 1,300 state, local, and nonprofit organizations.Who qualifies for down payment assistance programs?Eligibility varies by program, but many programs serve more than just low-income buyers. Some programs:Have no household income limitsSupport middle-income and “missing middle” buyersApply to manufactured homes and multifamily (2–4 unit) propertiesAre available nationally or in high-cost housing marketsWhy don't more buyers use down payment assistance?The biggest barrier isn't funding—it's awareness. Many buyers (and even industry professionals) don't know these programs exist. Fragmentation, lack of standardization, and fear of complexity have historically limited adoption.How do lenders and loan officers use Down Payment Resource?Down Payment Resource provides tools that:Match borrowers and properties with eligible assistance programsIntegrate with loan origination systems (LOS)Surface vetted programs automatically during the lending processHelp lenders educate borrowers without adding operational burden

SummaryIn this episode of the Text Driven Podcast, Timothy Pigg and Carter Jurkovich discuss the fragmentation of the church body in the context of the digital church. They explore how online platforms can create divisions within the church community, the challenges of pastoral care in a digital age, and the implications of prioritizing global reach over local engagement in missions. The conversation emphasizes the importance of real community and the need for a path forward to recover a text-driven church.TakeawaysGreat Commission Weekend is a significant event for church leaders.Fragmentation in the church body is exacerbated by digital platforms.Digital church creates echo chambers that hinder true fellowship.Worshiping with diverse individuals fosters spiritual growth.Online church can lead to a selfish worship experience.Pastors face challenges due to competing online voices.Local engagement is crucial for effective missions.Investing in local churches can yield better results than digital outreach.The church must focus on real community rather than virtual connections.There is hope for recovering a text-driven church model.Sound bites"What does it look like today?""You only listen to what you want.""This isn't all bad news."Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Text Driven Podcast02:11 Great Commission Weekend: A Call to Action03:17 Understanding Fragmentation in the Church Body04:58 The Impact of Digital Platforms on Fellowship07:54 Echo Chambers and the Digital Church Experience10:21 The Dangers of Disengagement from Local Pastors13:33 Global Reach vs. Local Engagement in Missions18:38 Investing in Local Churches for Global Impact20:34 Conclusion: The Path Forward for the ChurchText-Driven Resources LinksTEXT-DRIVEN WOMENApple: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/text-driven-women/id1638626764⁠Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/39bprfuuuoBdiu3qpbNbSS⁠TEXT-DRIVEN PODCASTApple: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/text-driven-podcast/id1558036179⁠Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/58S8Z1wSnubt8AVFkH3e1k⁠TEXT-DRIVEN BIBLE STUDIESThe Book of Philippians (Text-Driven Bible Study) (Text-Driven Bible Studies) https://a.co/d/1oypSB7⁠Foundations: Genesis 1-11: Text-Driven Bible Study (Text-Driven Bible Studies) https://a.co/d/b77kWZA⁠The Book of Titus: Text-Driven Bible Study (Text-Driven Bible Studies) https://a.co/d/4RAQaalThe Seven Churches of Revelation: Revelation 1-5 (January 2026)CHURCH/FAMILY RESOURCESThe Local Church Matters https://a.co/d/5HNqbiQThe Seven Characteristics of a Text-Driven Woman (April 2026)Text-Driven Evangelism (January 2026)DEVOTIONALKnowing Jesus at Christmas: A 25-Day Devotional through the Gospel of Luke ⁠https://a.co/d/6YMm0a9⁠Text-Driven Wisdom: A 31-Day Devotional through Proverbs https://a.co/d/17UC6jt

In Ep4, we take some time and work our way through a grid failure as a result of our heavily divided national politics and the powder keg we're all sitting on waiting for the next wave of civil unrest. We've all seen this scenario play out. Some of you may have even survived it. The Summer of Love on 2020 and the assortment of ICE protests in 2025 as the most recent examples… and it's always the same. It starts with a protest. A crowd gathers downtown — angry, loud, frustrated about one thing or another. Police form a line. Someone throws a bottle. Someone else lights a flare. There's spitting and shouting… smoke bombs, tear gas, and non-lethal measures deployed. Within minutes, the protest becomes a riot. Within hours, the riot becomes a citywide emergency. And by nightfall, the governor has activated the National Guard. But this isn't one city. It's not one issue. It's happening in dozens of places at once — each with its own spark, its own grievances, its own momentum. And as the unrest spreads, something becomes clear: This isn't a moment. It's a fracture. A sign that the political fabric of the nation is tearing — and no one knows how far the tear will go.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, I—Stewart Alsop—sit down with Garrett Dailey to explore a wide-ranging conversation that moves from the mechanics of persuasion and why the best pitches work by attraction rather than pressure, to the nature of AI as a pattern tool rather than a mind, to power cycles, meaning-making, and the fracturing of modern culture. Garrett draws on philosophy, psychology, strategy, and his own background in storytelling to unpack ideas around narrative collapse, the chaos–order split in human cognition, the risk of “AI one-shotting,” and how political and technological incentives shape the world we're living through. You can find the tweet Stewart mentions in this episode here. Also, follow Garrett Dailey on Twitter at @GarrettCDailey, or find more of his pitch-related work on LinkedIn.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Garrett opens with persuasion by attraction, storytelling, and why pitches fail with force. 05:00 We explore gravity as metaphor, the opposite of force, and the “ring effect” of a compelling idea. 10:00 AI as tool not mind; creativity, pattern prediction, hype cycles, and valuation delusions. 15:00 Limits of LLMs, slopification, recursive language drift, and cultural mimicry. 20:00 One-shotting, psychosis risk, validation-seeking, consciousness vs prediction. 25:00 Order mind vs chaos mind, solipsism, autism–schizophrenia mapping, epistemology. 30:00 Meaning, presence, Zen, cultural fragmentation, shared models breaking down. 35:00 U.S. regional culture, impossibility of national unity, incentives shaping politics. 40:00 Fragmentation vs reconciliation, markets, narratives, multipolarity, Dune archetypes. 45:00 Patchwork age, decentralization myths, political fracturing, libertarian limits. 50:00 Power as zero-sum, tech-right emergence, incentives, Vance, Yarvin, empire vs republic. 55:00 Cycles of power, kyklos, democracy's decay, design-by-committee, institutional failure.Key InsightsPersuasion works best through attraction, not pressure. Garrett explains that effective pitching isn't about forcing someone to believe you—it's about creating a narrative gravity so strong that people move toward the idea on their own. This reframes persuasion from objection-handling into desire-shaping, a shift that echoes through sales, storytelling, and leadership.AI is powerful precisely because it's not a mind. Garrett rejects the “machine consciousness” framing and instead treats AI as a pattern amplifier—extraordinarily capable when used as a tool, but fundamentally limited in generating novel knowledge. The danger arises when humans project consciousness onto it and let it validate their insecurities.Recursive language drift is reshaping human communication. As people unconsciously mimic LLM-style phrasing, AI-generated patterns feed back into training data, accelerating a cultural “slopification.” This becomes a self-reinforcing loop where originality erodes, and the machine's voice slowly colonizes the human one.The human psyche operates as a tension between order mind and chaos mind. Garrett's framework maps autism and schizophrenia as pathological extremes of this duality, showing how prediction and perception interact inside consciousness—and why AI, which only simulates chaos-mind prediction, can never fully replicate human knowing.Meaning arises from presence, not abstraction. Instead of obsessing over politics, geopolitics, or distant hypotheticals, Garrett argues for a Zen-like orientation: do what you're doing, avoid what you're not doing. Meaning doesn't live in narratives about the future—it lives in the task at hand.Power follows predictable cycles—and America is deep in one. Borrowing from the Greek kyklos, Garrett frames the U.S. as moving from aristocracy toward democracy's late-stage dysfunction: populism, fragmentation, and institutional decay. The question ahead is whether we're heading toward empire or collapse.Decentralization is entropy, not salvation. Crypto dreams of DAOs and patchwork societies ignore the gravitational pull of power. Systems fragment as they weaken, but eventually a new center of order emerges. The real contest isn't decentralization vs. centralization—it's who will have the coherence and narrative strength to recentralize the pieces.

Syria's Fragmentation and the Regional Arms Race: Colleague Jonathan Schanzer describes Syria as a chaotic mix of armed factions, including Al-Qaeda-led pragmatists and Iranian proxies, held together only by regime brutality, mentioning potential U.S. plans for a base to deter bad actors and highlighting rapid military expansions by Turkey and Egypt amid regional instability. 1955

SHOW 12-9-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1918 THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE FED CUT AND THE MARKETS. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Wall Street Bets on Rate Cuts Despite Mixed Economic Signals: Colleague Elizabeth Peek discusses the near certainty of a Federal Reserve rate cut, noting Wall Street's optimism despite steady inflation and mixed employment signals, highlighting strong holiday spending and arguing that fears regarding tariffs were overblown, while emphasizing that AI investment is reshaping, rather than reducing, corporate hiring. 915-930 Concerns Over New York City Mayor-Elect Mamdani's Appointments: Colleague Elizabeth Peek criticizes Mayor-elect Mamdani's controversial appointments, including an ex-convict as a criminal justice adviser and anti-car activists for transportation roles, arguing these ideological choices neglect the pragmatic needs of citizens concerned with safety and education, predicting administrative failure for the new administration. 930-945 Rising Tensions: Hezbollah's Rearmament and Hamas's Defiance: Colleague Jonathan Schanzer warns that Hezbollah has rebuilt its strength in Lebanon using Iranian weapons, prompting Israeli threats of a full-scale attack, noting that Hamas refuses to disarm in Gaza, supported by Turkey and Qatar, while the U.S. moves to designate Muslim Brotherhood branches as terrorist organizations. 945-1000 Syria's Fragmentation and the Regional Arms Race: Colleague Jonathan Schanzer describes Syria as a chaotic mix of armed factions, including Al-Qaeda-led pragmatists and Iranian proxies, held together only by regime brutality, mentioning potential U.S. plans for a base to deter bad actors and highlighting rapid military expansions by Turkey and Egypt amid regional instability. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 The Trump Corollary: Reasserting Influence in the Western Hemisphere: Colleague Mary Kissel analyzes the new National Security Strategy, praising its focus on the Western Hemisphere to counter Russian and Chinese influence in Venezuela and Cuba, warning against accepting separate global spheres of influence and emphasizing that the U.S. faces a coordinated threat from China, Russia, and Iran globally. 1015-1030 Europe's Defense Dilemma and Demographic Decline: Colleague Mary Kissel attributes Europe's inability to fund Ukraine's defense to decades of relying on U.S. protection while prioritizing generous welfare states, citing "scary statistics" regarding France's aging population and pension burdens, arguing that Europe must pursue economic growth rather than government handouts to survive security challenges. 1030-1045 Europe's Economic Stagnation and the Innovation Gap: Colleague Joseph Sternberg discusses Europe's economic decline relative to the U.S., driven by high energy costs and excessive regulation, noting a growing debate in Brussels about deregulation but arguing Europe lacks a unified vision to encourage the entrepreneurship and healthcare innovation seen in the American system. 1045-1100 Angela Rayner's Return and Labour's Economic Struggles: Colleague Joseph Sternberg analyzes the political return of Angela Rayner and her push for a "workers rights bill" despite Prime Minister Starmer's plummeting popularity, arguing this move highlights internal Labour Party conflict and risks imposing policies detrimental to an economy already struggling with inflation and stagnation.THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Paul Manafort and the Origins of Modern Foreign Lobbying: Colleague Ken Vogel chronicles how Paul Manafort revolutionized the lobbying industry by merging political consulting with foreign representation, creating a model later adopted by Tony Podesta and others, explaining how the fall of Ukraine's Yanukovych and subsequent investigations exposed the industry's widespread failure to comply with FARA regulations. 1115-1130 Robert Stryk's Risky Lobbying Missions in Somalia and Venezuela: Colleague Ken Vogel details lobbyist Robert Stryk's dangerous mission to Mogadishu to secure U.S. aid for Somalia's President Farmajo during the Trump administration, also describing Stryk's controversial efforts to represent Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, illustrating the lucrative and often perilous nature of foreign influence peddling in unstable regions. 1130-1145 The Revolving Door: Democratic Insiders and Foreign Influence: Colleague Ken Vogel explains how Democratic operatives like Anita Dunn and Antony Blinken leveraged government experience for lucrative consulting roles at firms like SKDK and WestExec, also discussing Hunter Biden's pardon regarding Chinese business dealings and Robert Stryk's representation of sanctioned Russian defense executives. 1145-1200 The Decline of FARA Enforcement and Politicized Justice: Colleague Ken Vogel argues that enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act is weakening, citing Rudy Giuliani's work for sanctioned Balkan leaders and Attorney General Pam Bondi's potential decriminalization of FARA, suggesting the U.S. is returning to a "Wild West" era of unregulated foreign influence where laws are flouted. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Reviving the Monroe Doctrine via the Trump Corollary: Colleague Gregory Copley analyzes the Trump administration's National Security Strategy, which reasserts the Monroe Doctrine to counter Chinese and Russian influence in the Western Hemisphere, arguing that "gunboat diplomacy" off Venezuela effectively restores U.S. sovereignty, signaling a shift toward self-reliance and away from traditional alliances like NATO. 1215-1230 European Leaders Scramble to Support Ukraine Amidst Domestic Crises: Colleague Gregory Copley discusses the meeting between UK, French, and German leaders with Zelenskyy, noting they are using the Ukraine war to distract from domestic political failures, tracing Europe's defense dependency to U.S. post-WWII policies and suggesting Zelenskyy is leveraging European fears against Washington to secure his future. 1230-1245 The Strategic Implosion of China and Global Realignments: Colleague Gregory Copley asserts that the People's Republic of China has strategically collapsed due to economic failure and demographic decline, claiming Xi Jinping is no longer effectively in power, noting that Russia is distancing itself from Beijing and Western leaders like Albanese are pivoting back toward Washington. 1245-100 AM King Charles, Environmental Realism, and UK Political Instability: Colleague Gregory Copley observes that King Charles avoids political climate statements despite Bill Gates' recent realism regarding environmental alarmism, discussing political instability in the UK and suggesting Prime Minister Starmer faces challenges from the left that could force new elections, potentially benefiting reformists like Nigel Farage.

Fragmentation in Yemen: The Southern Transitional Council Advances: Colleagues Bridget Tumi and Bill Roggio report that the civil war in Yemen is fracturing further as the Southern Transitional Council, which advocates for southern secession, advances into eastern governorates to secure territory and combat smuggling; this move has heightened tensions within the anti-Houthi coalition, as the STC is backed by the UAE while other government factions are supported by Saudi Arabia, weakening the collective effort against the Houthis who control thYEMEN800 e capital Sanaa and maintain ambitions to conquer the entire country. 1800 YEMEN

Dr. Adam Gamwell returns to Trending in Education to explore the evolving collision of anthropology, artificial intelligence, and the human experience. Since his last appearance in 2019, the technological landscape has seen seismic transformations—from the pandemic to the explosion of generative AI. Host Mike Palmer and Adam discuss why the anthropological imagination is more critical than ever for navigating these changes. Adam details his transition from predicting trends to actively building AI tools with his organizations, Anthrocurious and Clueful. He argues that anthropologists must move beyond critique and become makers to ensure human context remains central to technological development. The conversation spans the fragmentation of modern culture, the "Prometheus moment" of AI adoption, and the challenge of maintaining epistemic security in an era of digital exhaust and "AI slop." Mike and Adam also tackle the personal side of the equation: parenting and education. They discuss the atrophy of critical thinking skills, the insights Western parents can learn from Maya and Inuit child-rearing practices, and the importance of designing "socio-petal" technologies that bring people together rather than driving them apart. Key Takeaways: Anthropologists as Builders: Adam emphasizes the need for social scientists to get their hands dirty with code. By moving from pure critique to "vibe coding" and software development, anthropologists can bake human context and ethics into AI tools from the ground up. The Fragmentation of Culture: The internet and algorithmic feeds have fractured the monoculture into isolated microcultures. Understanding this landscape requires using the very tools—AI and large-scale data analysis—that helped create the fragmentation in the first place. Critical Thinking as Muscle Memory: Just as language acquisition changes after age five, critical thinking is a skill that can atrophy without practice. Over-reliance on generative AI in education risks weakening the cognitive muscles students need to evaluate truth and context. Ancient Wisdom for Modern Parenting: Adam and Mike discuss the book Hunt, Gather, Parent and how indigenous practices of patience and autonomy offer a counter-narrative to the high-control, high-anxiety style of Western parenting in a digital age. Why You Should Listen: This episode offers a refreshing departure from the standard "robots will take our jobs" narrative. Instead, it provides a grounded, human-centric framework for understanding how we co-evolve with our tools. Whether you are an educator worried about AI plagiarism, a parent navigating screen time, or a tech enthusiast interested in how "thick data" can improve large language models, Adam's insights bridge the gap between high-level academic theory and the practical realities of daily life.

Fresh out of the studio, Karen Hao, investigative journalist and author of "Empire of AI" joined us in a conversation to unravel how companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI have become modern empires reshaping society, labor, and democracy itself. Karen traces her journey from mechanical engineering at MIT to becoming one of the tech industry's most critical voices, sharing how Silicon Valley's innovation ecosystem has distorted toward self-interest rather than the public good. She unpacks the four characteristics that make AI companies mirror colonial empires: resource extraction through data scraping, labor exploitation of annotation workers, knowledge monopolies where most AI researchers are industry-funded, and quasi-religious quests to build an "AI God." Throughout the conversation, Karen reveals OpenAI's governance dysfunction stemming from its contradictory non-profit-for-profit structure and shares the inspiring story of Chilean water activists who successfully blocked Google's data center from draining their community's freshwater resources. She explains how Sam Altman's plans for 250 gigawatts of data center capacity—equivalent to four dozen New York Cities—would be environmentally catastrophic, while demonstrating how China's export restrictions paradoxically spurred more efficient AI innovation. Last but not least, she argues that empathy-driven journalism remains irreplaceable and calls for global citizens to hold these companies accountable to the broader public interest."These empires are amassing extraordinary amounts of resources by dispossessing a majority of the world. That includes like the data that they're extracting from people by just scraping it from online or intellectual property that they're taking from artists and creators. Most AI researchers now work for the AI industry and/or are funded in part by the AI industry. Even academics that have stayed within universities are often funded by the AI industry, and the effect that that has had on knowledge production is akin to the effect we would imagine if most climate scientists were bankrolled by the fossil fuel industry. I cannot stress enough how much they genuinely believe that they are on the path to creating something akin to an AI god, and that this is going to have cataclysmic shifts on civilization." - Karen Hao, Author of Empire of AIEpisode Highlights:[00:00] Quote of the Day by Karen Hao[00:47] Introduction: Karen Hao, Author of "Empire of AI"[01:44] From MIT engineering to investigating AI journalism[02:51] Silicon Valley distorts innovation toward self-benefit[04:12] AI companies as modern empires of power[06:00] Four traits of Empire: extraction, exploitation, monopolies, ideology[09:01] Quasi-religious movements driving Silicon Valley AI development[10:04] AGI believers speak specialized fanatical vocabulary[11:16] OpenAI founding: nonprofit facade, profit ambitions[13:53] Sam Altman firing: board's failed governance attempt[17:13] Fragmentation: every billionaire building their own AI[19:06] China's export controls sparked efficient AI innovation[21:57] Silicon Valley lacks American democratic values entirely[25:06] Chilean activists successfully blocked Google's water extraction[28:51] Sam Altman's 250 gigawatts: four dozen New York cities[31:21] Scaling continues despite base model asymptote reached[32:53] Benchmarks faulty: training data unknown, results unreliable[39:11] Success: sparking conversation about AI's human costs[39:40] ClosingProfile: Karen Hao, Author of Empire of AI and Investigative Journalist LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karendhao/Personal Site: https://karendhao.com/Podcast Information: Bernard Leong hosts and produces the show.

On this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck breaks down Donald Trump’s increasingly brazen behavior — from his overtly racist comments about Somalis to his dehumanizing rhetoric that can incite real-world violence — and examines why so many Americans have become numb to it. He explores how the erosion of shame has stripped the public of a key accountability tool, how Trump has mainstreamed kleptocracy and mob-style politics, and why even many Republicans are uneasy with his drug trafficker pardon and his abuse of the presidential pardon power more broadly. Chuck also details the administration’s reported strong arming of corporate mergers, the normalization of corruption, and the role of media fragmentation — amplified by Trump and Fox News — in enabling behavior that would spark impeachment calls if committed by any Democrat. From national security risks to America’s deteriorating reputation as a rule-of-law nation, Chuck traces how Trump’s conduct has reached unprecedented levels while the country struggles with “Trump fatigue” heading into the next election. Then, former U.S. Senator Jack Danforth joins the Chuck ToddCast for a candid and sweeping conversation about the crisis inside the Republican Party and the decay of American politics. Danforth explains why he’s devoted his later years to trying to rehabilitate the GOP—even as he admits the effort may be futile—and argues that Congress has devolved into a stage for self-promotion rather than a forum for legislating. He and Chuck explore how weak parties coexist with fierce partisan loyalty, how smartphones and grievance politics have poisoned public discourse, and why the joy has drained from public service. Danforth reflects on the GOP’s transformation from the “family party” into one defined by division, how Christians have been pushed into a persecution mindset, and why Trump has inflicted deeper damage on the country than any single figure in U.S. history. The conversation turns to the future: whether leaders like James Lankford can spark a moral revival within the GOP, what true conservatism should stand for after being hollowed out by MAGA, and why Republican voters deserve a candidate who actually reflects traditional conservative principles. Danforth and Chuck also dig into constitutional reform, the filibuster, the politicization of the judiciary, and Congress’s abdication on major issues like Social Security and Medicare. Ultimately, Danforth makes the case that America must rediscover kindness, character, and a sense of shared identity if it hopes to govern itself the way the founders intended. Finally, he answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and gives his college football preview/rant. Go to https://getsoul.com & enter code TODDCAST for 30% off your first order.

During the chaos of the holiday season, is it possible for small retailers to turn their fragmented customer data into a perfectly timed, personalized marketing, or are they destined to just add to the noise? Agility requires not just collecting customer data from every channel, but having the insight and tools to act on it in the moments that matter most. It's the ability to translate a customer signal into a relevant experience, instantly.Today, we're going to talk about how small and mid-sized retailers can punch above their weight during the critical holiday season. We'll explore the challenge of turning fragmented customer data from online browsing, email clicks, and even in-store visits into a cohesive strategy that drives precision-targeted campaigns, creates loyal customers, and, most importantly, delivers measurable ROI in a complex, multi-channel world.

This shift gives them more control while improving payer efficiency.Modernizing payments isn't just about speed; it's about giving providers a single, transparent view of all transactions across multiple payers. This visibility helps them reduce denials, identify payment discrepancies, and forecast revenue more accurately.Consumer expectations for transparency and personalized benefits are pushing healthcare toward more flexible, customized models. Younger generations especially demand clearer information and greater financial control.Fragmentation remains the biggest obstacle in modernizing healthcare payments, from legacy tech stacks to inconsistent treasury processes. Harmonizing these systems is essential for building a seamless, end-to-end experience.The next frontier is transforming payments from an administrative task into a strategic asset. When speed, transparency, and control converge, every stakeholder—payer, provider, and consumer—wins.Resources:Connect with and follow Dylan Papa on LinkedIn.Follow Zelis on LinkedIn and visit their Website.

You pray on Sunday. You hustle on Monday. But they never talk to each other. The Sons of Issachar had one skill — they understood the times and knew what to do. David surrounded himself with these men. That's one reason he prospered. But here's the problem: you can't develop that skill if you're fragmented. Here's what hit me: → Fragmentation creates noise — you can't hear God over your own chaos → Your business decisions are disconnected from your spiritual discernment → Integrated leaders don't hustle — they discern, wait, and move with God David didn't miss moments. He could read the times because he was whole. His worship informed his warfare. His private relationship with God shaped his public decisions. The question is: Are you seeing the times clearly, or are you so fragmented that you're missing what's right in front of you? — — —⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - The one skill that made David prosper 2:25 - David could read God's timing 4:00 - Why fragmented leaders can't see clearly 5:30 - You pray on Sunday, hustle on Monday 7:00 - Fragmentation creates fear-based decisions 9:00 - Cultivate intimacy with God in private 11:00 - Bring your whole self to every situation 13:00 - Process your fragmentation through worship 15:00 - The Integration Gap Assessment — — —

Welcome back to the Attachment Style SOS Series! In today's episode, I'm diving deep into disorganized attachment. The style that feels like craving closeness one moment and wanting to run for the hills the next. If relationships feel like emotional whiplash, if you've ever felt “too much,” “too complicated,” or like you become a different person when you're triggered… this episode will help you understand why. As someone who lived this pattern for over a decade, this one is incredibly close to my heart.Inside the episode, we cover:What disorganized attachment actually feels like, why it shows up as emotional chaos, and the science behind your attachment system and survival system firing at the same timeIdentity fragmentation and “shape-shifting”, why you lose yourself in relationships, and how to rebuild a cohesive, secure identity from the inside outCultural misunderstandings & the ADHD link, how society mislabels this style and why emotional regulation challenges feed into ADHD (and vice versa)If you're listening and thinking, “Wow… this is me,” or “This explains so much about someone I love,” please know this: you are not broken. Your nervous system adapted to chaos—and that means you can absolutely learn safety and become securely attached.And hey, if you're ready to actually do this healing work with guidance, structure, and support… Now is the moment.The Empowered.Secure.Loved Program is closing its application doors for the year, and this is truly your final chance to grab the Black Friday Offer before it expires. Once doors close, we do not know when (or if) enrollment will open again in 2026.If you've been feeling that nudge—Should I do this?—this is your sign.Apply now, get a spot while you still can, and start 2026 with real hope, real support, and real transformation.

About Ben Forrest:Ben Forrest is the CEO of Olio, a care coordination technology company focused on improving collaboration among payers, health systems, and post-acute providers for the most complex patients. With a 14-year background in the medical device industry, Ben saw firsthand how fragmented workflows and siloed care settings created barriers to quality and efficiency—an insight that led him to build Olio. Under his leadership, the platform now enables real-time engagement across hundreds of care sites, helping organizations reduce administrative burden, improve outcomes, and better manage medical spend. Ben is dedicated to bringing modern software, thoughtful workflows, and emerging AI capabilities to one of healthcare's most persistent challenges: truly connected care.Things You'll Learn:Care coordination is deeply fragmented, especially for complex patients moving across hospitals, skilled nursing, home health, behavioral health, and other community settings.Olio's platform connects payers, health systems, and post-acute providers in one shared workflow, enabling daily engagement and reducing administrative burden.Better downstream provider engagement directly improves outcomes and lowers costs, especially in Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, ACO, and bundled payment environments.Scaling coordination statewide requires more than EMRs; it requires workflow technology that ensures transparency, accountability, and consistent communication across 100+ care sites.Economics drive engagement: care coordination intensity increases where organizations hold risk or face pressure to manage total medical spend.The future of AI in care coordination is still emerging, and smart companies will focus on doing one operational problem exceptionally well before expanding.Payers will face mounting pressure to reduce medical spend, making true care coordination, not just better authorization practices, a strategic necessity.Olio was born from the realization that healthcare excels at delivering care in silos but struggles when patients move between settings, especially under value-based models.Resources:Connect with and follow Ben Forrest on LinkedIn.Follow Olio on LinkedIn and discover their website.

The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – The rise of vulgarity and cruelty in everyday speech is not accidental—it is cultural. Entertainment glorifies humiliation. News cycles thrive on scandal. Online anonymity emboldens cruelty. The language of respect, humility, and grace is mocked as weakness. In its place, we celebrate the loudest voice, the sharpest insult, the most viral takedown...

HEADLINE: China Retaliates Against Dutch Chipmaker Seizure Amid European Fragmentation GUEST NAME:Theresa Fallon SUMMARY: Theresa Fallon discusses China imposing export controls on Nexperia after the Dutch government seized control of the chipmaker, which was owned by China's Wingtech. The Dutch acted due to fears the Chinese owner would strip the technology and equipment, despite Nexperia producing low-quality chips for cars. Fallon notes Europe needs a better chip policy but struggles to speak with one voice, as fragmented policy allows China to drive wedges and weaken the EU. 1966 TIBET
