In this conversation, Dr. Christoph Bartneck discusses the intersection of swimming and computer science, exploring how mathematical patterns can enhance swim training. He introduces the concept of a formal swim markup language to improve data exchange and training efficiency. The discussion also delves into the visualization of swimming techniques, the importance of mental engagement in training, and the aesthetic appeal of mathematics. Christoph shares insights on the challenges of writing his book and his vision for creating a global community around swimming and mathematics.Takeaways Programming languages can optimize swim training. There's a gap in literature between math and sports science. Data exchange in swimming training is challenging. Visualizing swimming techniques aids in understanding. Mathematical patterns can enhance training routines. Repetitive tasks in swimming can be likened to repetitive songs. Engagement in training is crucial for success.

Yasir Ali, CEO of Polymer, discusses the shortcomings of current security frameworks, emphasizing their outdated nature and lack of real verification. He argues that many organizations still rely on signed statements without providing tangible evidence of compliance with security controls. This disconnect has become increasingly problematic, especially with the rise of AI and the need for more robust data protection measures. Ali highlights that the traditional approach of simply stating compliance is no longer sufficient in a landscape where data privacy and security are paramount.Ali suggests that the solution lies in a more evidence-based approach to security frameworks. He advocates for organizations to provide real-time evidence of their security practices, particularly in relation to how customer data is handled and used. This includes demonstrating that customer data is not being misused for AI training purposes. He believes that the industry needs to move beyond mere documentation and focus on actual compliance and security practices that can be verified.The conversation also touches on the role of customers in demanding better security practices from service providers. While Ali acknowledges that end customers often feel overlooked, he points out that larger organizations, such as banks, have begun to push back against vendors to ensure their data is protected. He emphasizes that smaller businesses must take responsibility for their own data security, as the regulatory environment in the U.S. is not providing sufficient oversight.As AI adoption accelerates through SaaS products, Ali expresses concern about the new vulnerabilities that may arise. He notes that many organizations are integrating AI tools into their existing systems without fully understanding the implications for data security. Polymer aims to address these challenges by providing tools that enhance data security and compliance within SaaS environments, ensuring that organizations can protect their sensitive information while leveraging the benefits of AI.

In this episode, I open up about one of the most complex and personal aspects of wealth building—understanding when enough is truly enough. After achieving every financial milestone I once dreamed of—paying off six-figure debt, reaching millionaire status, and building a $4M+ net worth—I still found myself chasing the next number. Why? Because “enough” kept changing. I share insights from deeply personal experiences, pivotal conversations with my mother-in-law and behavioral psychologist, and journal prompts to help you define your own version of success. Whether you're just starting your financial journey or already well on your way, this episode will challenge how you think about progress, satisfaction, and legacy. Episode Timeline & Highlights [0:00] - Why “enough” is the hardest number to define [1:00] - Hitting financial freedom early—but still feeling like it's not enough [3:06] - The dopamine high of paying off $76,000 in debt [5:12] - The scoreboard mindset and its hidden cost [6:12] - Redefining success beyond money with wisdom from my mother-in-law [9:16] - Breaking free from limiting beliefs and embracing wealth adaptation [14:05] - How helping others became a deeper source of fulfillment [16:16] - Unpacking the emotional baggage behind our enough number [20:08] - A step-by-step framework for defining your personal “enough” [23:42] - Journal prompts to clarify what truly matters in your life [28:21] - Why defining “enough” for yourself is the most powerful financial move you can make Key Takeaways Enough Is a Decision, Not a Number – If your goals keep shifting, it's likely you're tying your worth or safety to an ever-moving financial target. Redefining Success Leads to Deeper Fulfillment – When you measure impact, time with family, or student outcomes instead of dollars, your purpose becomes clearer. Frameworks and Reflection Are Essential – Clearly defining your baseline, comfort, and aspirational “enough” levels can help you stay grounded and focused. Quotables “Enough isn't a number. It's actually a decision.” “You adapt to wealth just like anything else in life. It becomes normal—so stop chasing the next high.” “If you hit every financial goal and still feel behind, it's time to check in with what you're really after.” “Money is a proxy for control, safety, and worth—but those needs can't be fixed with a bigger bank account alone.” Links & Resources Learn more or join BudgetDog Academy: https://budgetdog.com Book a strategy call with my team: https://budgetdog.com/academy My national bestseller, The Roadmap to Financial Freedom, supports Dravet Syndrome research: https://budgetdog.com/book If this episode challenged your thinking or helped you clarify your goals, please rate, follow, and share it with someone else who needs to hear this message.

What really causes estrangement between parents and children, and how can you prevent it, especially after divorce? In this episode of The Moving On Method, host Michelle Dempsey-Multack sits down with psychotherapist and author Whitney Goodman (aka @sitwithwit) to unpack the nuanced emotional dynamics that lead to parent-child estrangement. From parentification to narcissistic family systems, Michelle and Whitney explore what it takes to be the safe, emotionally attuned parent your child needs, particularly when co-parenting in a high-conflict situation. What You'll Learn: Why estrangement is becoming more openly discussed, and what's actually driving it How parentification harms children (even when well-intentioned) The critical difference between protecting vs. over-sharing with your child How to build emotional safety and connection during divorce or co-parenting What “parenting without a roadmap” really means, and how to do it with confidence Episode Highlights: 03:44 – Is estrangement really on the rise, or are we just talking about it more? 08:29 – The difference between abandonment and emotional cutoffs 13:52 – Why parents repeat unhealthy dynamics or swing too far in the other direction 19:41 – How to avoid parentifying your child during divorce 26:35 – “My child is my rock”: When closeness crosses emotional boundaries 31:18 – What to say when your child repeats something the other parent said 34:50 – Can you be a “safe parent” even if you can't control the other home? 37:11 – Parenting through estrangement fears: What conscious parents need to hear Meet the Guest: Whitney Goodman, LMFT, is a licensed psychotherapist, speaker, and author of Toxic Positivity. Best known for her online presence as @sitwithwit, Whitney helps individuals navigate family estrangement, generational trauma, and emotionally mature parenting through her work at callinghome.co. Tools, Frameworks, and Concepts Mentioned: Parenting Without a Roadmap – Whitney's emotional navigation model for parents without healthy templates Parentification – A breakdown of the emotional role-reversal between parent and child Narcissistic Family Systems – Traits and long-term impacts Emotional Maturity vs. Emotional Oversharing – Why kids need honesty with boundaries Safe and Stable Parent Model – A guiding principle for high-conflict parenting Closing Insight: "Bad parents don't worry about being bad parents. Conscious ones do." Being afraid your child will resent you one day is a sign you're already trying to parent with awareness. But trying isn't enough; you need tools, insight, and support.

In today's episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Neal Bawa, founder and CEO of Grocapitus and a nationally recognized leader in data-driven real estate investing. Known as the “Mad Scientist of Multifamily,” Neal brings a tech-forward approach to real estate, combining sharp market analysis with a clear-eyed view of risk, strategy, and opportunity. Neal shares how he went from running a tech company in Silicon Valley to building a $660 million real estate portfolio. He breaks down the importance of data modeling, boots-on-the-ground research, and why emotional detachment is critical for success. In 2009, his in-depth analysis revealed a unique opportunity to purchase distressed properties in Madera, California, long before others recognized the potential upside. By pairing his insights with real-world hustle, he secured cash-flowing assets in a down market. The conversation covers more than just the past. Neal outlines today's market challenges and where he sees opportunities. He explains how rising interest rates, oversupply in Class A markets, and flawed assumptions about cash flow have changed the investment landscape. Through it all, his emphasis remains the same: use data to identify market timing, stay ahead of headlines, and act strategically. Jonathan and Neal also dig into why townhomes have become the most efficient build-to-rent option, how Neal's team sources land with minimal upfront capital, and why absorption rates—not just occupancy—are the key metric to watch in multifamily. For new and seasoned investors alike, this episode is a masterclass in seeing opportunity where others see risk. In this episode, you will hear: How Neal used data and timing to succeed during the 2009 downturn The importance of combining tech with in-person market validation Tactics for spotting mispriced Class A properties using rent roll analysis Absorption trends as a better indicator than occupancy rates Townhomes as an efficient and scalable build-to-rent solution Land acquisition techniques that limit upfront capital exposure Frameworks for building scalable, data-informed investing systems Market shifts that signal rent growth recovery on the horizon Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Karriere geht auch ohne Management?Genau das und noch viel mehr nehmen wir in dieser Episode auseinander. Kaum ein Thema erhitzt in Tech-Teams so sehr die Gemüter wie Karrierepfade für Softwareentwickler:innen. Muss ich in die Management-Laufbahn, um „aufzusteigen“? Warum brauchen so viele Firmen scheinbar eigene Karriereleitern, und wie sorgen wir eigentlich dafür, dass die nicht zur Motivationsfalle werden?Mit Lena Reinhardt, Leadership-Coach, Keynote-Speakerin, ehemalige VP of Engineering bei CircleCI und Travis CI, und nicht zuletzt Mitgestalterin der berühmten CircleCI Karrierematrix, gehen wir dem Phänomen der IC-Karrierepfade (Individual Contributor) auf den Grund. Wir klären, warum und wie Karriereleitern in Tech entstanden sind, wo die Unterschiede zu klassischen Job Descriptions liegen und weshalb sie echte Kulturarbeit in Firmen bedeuten. Außerdem schnappen wir uns den Netflix-Case, beleuchten die Do's & Don'ts beim Design solcher Frameworks und erfahren, ab wann so ein System wirklich sinnvoll ist (und wo es Unsinn wird!).Natürlich sprechen wir über Fallstricke bei der Einführung, wie wichtig partizipatives Setup, kalibrierte Einstufungen und ehrliche Kommunikation sind – auch, um Diversity und Gerechtigkeit wirklich im Alltag abzubilden. Lena teilt ihre besten Tipps zu Erwartungsmanagement, dem Umgang mit Glue Work und warum gute Engineers eben doch ein kleines Selbstmarketing betreiben sollten.Ganz nebenbei gibt's Einblicke in HR-Strategien, Performance-Reviews, die Macht von Jobtiteln und einen Schwank aus dem Leben einer ehemaligen Bankangestellten mit Open-Source-Faible.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:
TestTalks | Automation Awesomeness | Helping YOU Succeed with Test Automation
In this episode of the TestGuild Automation Podcast, I'm joined by Don Jackson, Director of Product Marketing at Perforce, to explore a bold new frontier in automation testing: true agentic AI. We unpack the groundbreaking tech behind Perfecto's latest release and what it means to test smarter, faster, and with zero hassle. Don shares how this new form of automation, powered by natural language, computer vision, and LLMs, lets you test like a human but with the speed of AI. No scripts. No frameworks. No brittle locators. Just plain-language instructions that drive real user-experience testing at runtime. You'll learn: What "agentic AI" really means and how it goes beyond traditional test automation How to run intelligent UI tests across devices without writing a single script Why this approach could finally bring automation to business testers and non-coders Real-world use cases, from validating stock charts and UI branding to exploratory testing at scale What to watch out for: prompting quality, performance tradeoffs, and trust Whether you're a skeptical scripter or just tired of flaky UI tests, this conversation will challenge how you think about automation—and show you what's now possible.

What if you could design the future — instead of reacting to it? In today's episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, Peter Winick sits down with futurist and design strategist Lisa Kay Solomon to explore how leaders can use design thinking to actively shape what's next. Lisa is a Designer-in-Residence at Stanford's d.school, an educator, a bestselling author, and a respected voice on the Thinkers50 Radar list. She helps leaders and organizations make better long-term decisions in a short-term world. Her superpower? Turning vague uncertainty into actionable insight — by teaching leaders how to think like futurists. Lisa shares how she guides boards, conference planners, and executive teams through complex challenges. She doesn't just create better experiences — she builds capabilities that last. Whether it's designing strategic conversations or preparing teams to operate in ambiguity, Lisa brings a toolkit of creative, repeatable practices to move from stuck to strategic. If you've ever found yourself saying, “Yeah, but that would never happen here,” Lisa has a chapter — and a strategy — just for you. This conversation is packed with high-impact takeaways for those who want to lead with intention and design a future worth inhabiting. Three Key Takeaways: • Designing the Future Is a Teachable Skill Lisa argues that futures thinking isn't a mysterious talent—it's a learnable capability. Most leaders have been trained to focus on short-term goals. Lisa teaches them how to widen their lens, shift perspective, and think long-term using strategic design practices. • Great Ideas Need More Than Strategy—They Need Capability Organizations often bring Lisa in to spark innovation—whether at board meetings or large conferences. But the real value she delivers goes beyond a single event. She helps teams build the capabilities to sustain innovation, adapt to change, and continue asking the right questions long after she's gone. • Overcoming the “Yeah, Buts” That Block Progress Lisa names the top three “yeah, buts” that sabotage future thinking: short-term pressure, lack of resources, and not knowing how. Her approach disarms these mental blockers by reframing possibility as practical—and showing leaders how to move from reactive to proactive in shaping what's next. If you found Lisa Kay Solomon's insights on designing the future and building long-term leadership capabilities compelling, you won't want to miss our episode with Joseph Press: Thought Leadership for Future Thinking. Both Lisa and Joseph explore how leaders can move beyond short-term fixes to shape more intentional, future-ready organizations. While Lisa focuses on strategic conversations and capability building through design, Joseph dives into how thought leadership and digital transformation intersect to foster future thinking. Together, these episodes offer a powerful one-two punch for anyone looking to lead with clarity, creativity, and courage in uncertain times. Listen to both and equip yourself with the mindset and tools to not just predict the future—but actively shape it.
In this high-velocity, truth-telling episode, Erin and Ken sit down with data scientist, author, and newsletter legend Christopher Penn to cut through the noise and the slop around AI and go-to-market. Chris breaks down how today's AI isn't solely about scale or speed it's about whether your thinking actually changes how people lead. From RAGs and reporting frameworks to the future of SaaS, software, and your own job, this conversation pulls zero punches.
