A player-organized "PlayStation Blackout" recently asked Sony's hardcore customers to stay off of PSN for a mere week. It was a no doubt modest ask -- one that wasn't going to break the brand -- and it's always nice to see people try and do something when they deem it necessary. But if data from reliable US industry tracking firm Circana is any indication, the PlayStation Blackout had no discernable effect on their data whatsoever. When does initiative end and performance begin? If something is clearly not working, should one's tactics change? Perhaps most importantly, does a movement, no matter how laudable, need actually likable leadership to be effective? One thing's for sure: The blackout was a dud, something its most ardent champions cannot (or perhaps will not) square. Other news this week includes rumors surrounding Media Molecule's next game, an altered update approach for Bungie's Marathon, the reported closure of MindsEye studio Build A Rocket Boy, the trademarked sequel to 2023's beloved Lies of P, and much more. Then: Listener inquiries! Are Sony games victimized by over-focus testing? Should we be worried about Housemarque's future? Why don't more scary games launch in October?

We're feeling a little overwhelmed by the world right now. AI is moving faster than we can keep up, and somehow we're supposed to teach our kids how to navigate all of this when we're still trying to figure it out ourselves. We're talking about schools going back to pen and paper, kids using AI, algorithms deciding what we see, and whether we're actually losing some of our ability to think, focus and trust our own instincts. We also get into AI scams, voice cloning and why every family might need a secret code word. And somewhere along the way, we decide that maybe the only reasonable solution is to move to a farm, raise baby chickens and completely opt out of modern life.KeywordsAI, education, parenting, online betting, NFTs, digital assets, technology, AI safety, social media, internet cultureKey topicsAI safety and escape from sandboxImpact of technology on education and note-takingParenting challenges with digital and social mediaThe rise and fall of NFTs and online assetsOnline betting and gambling risks for teensAI literacy and education policiesThe speed of technological change and societal adaptationParental strategies for digital safety and awareness Hosted on Acast.

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Attorney James Carter. The 84th President of the National Bar Association, to discuss the critical role of legal protection in business, the importance of civic engagement and voting rights, the impact of the Black legal profession, and the responsibility of leaders to mentor future generations. The conversation focused on empowering entrepreneurs, protecting communities through legal advocacy, and creating opportunities through education and service. Key Takeaways 1. Every Business Needs a Strong Legal Foundation Attorney Carter emphasized that successful entrepreneurship begins with proper legal documentation. Contracts, operating agreements, and legal compliance are not optional expenses but essential investments that protect business owners from future disputes and misunderstandings. Lesson: Handshake agreements can lead to costly problems. Written agreements establish expectations and provide protection when challenges arise. 2. AI Is a Tool, Not a Substitute for Legal Expertise While artificial intelligence can help people begin researching legal matters, Carter warned against relying on AI as a final authority. He noted that AI systems can produce inaccurate information and that even attorneys have faced professional consequences for depending too heavily on AI-generated content. Lesson: Use technology to gather information, but rely on qualified professionals when making important legal decisions. 3. The National Bar Association Exists to Protect Rights and Advance Justice Carter discussed the long history and mission of the National Bar Association, which was founded in 1925 to advocate for African American attorneys and communities. He highlighted its role in significant civil rights efforts and its continued commitment to advancing freedom, justice, and equality. Lesson: Legal advocacy remains essential in protecting civil rights and ensuring equal access to opportunities. 4. Voting Is a Responsibility, Not Just a Right One of Carter's major priorities as NBA president is election protection. He described efforts to educate voters, provide resources, and help people overcome barriers to voting. He stressed that many people sacrificed greatly to secure voting rights, making civic participation a responsibility that should not be taken for granted. Lesson: Voting is one of the most powerful ways individuals can influence their communities and future generations. 5. Reputation Matters More Than Advertising Discussing legal advertising, Carter advised consumers to look beyond marketing campaigns and evaluate attorneys based on experience, qualifications, and proven results. Lesson: Whether choosing an attorney or any professional service provider, conduct research and evaluate credibility before making a decision. 6. Black Lawyers Play a Critical Role in Social Progress Carter emphasized the historic and ongoing contributions of Black attorneys in advancing civil rights, protecting communities, and shaping American society. He encouraged greater recognition of the profession's impact and the importance of supporting diverse legal representation. Lesson: Representation matters, and strong legal advocates continue to help create pathways to justice and opportunity. 7. Mentorship Should Be a Lifestyle One of the most inspiring parts of the conversation centered on mentorship. Carter shared lessons from his mentor and encouraged professionals to practice what he called "simple service" by consistently guiding, encouraging, and creating opportunities for younger generations. Lesson: Success is not just about personal achievement but also about helping others access opportunities and reach their potential. Memorable Quotes On Contracts and Business Agreements "It's a mutual document of distrust." On Written Agreements "Oftentimes when it comes down to money, in the end, folks get amnesia." On Artificial Intelligence "It's a good guide to help you start the process, but it is not the best guide to end the process." On the Mission of the National Bar Association "America lives its creed of freedom, justice and equality." On Civic Engagement "When we have the opportunity and the ability to rest upon the struggles of our ancestors who fought, bled and died, and you don't vote, that is very, very frustrating." On Mentorship "It should be a way of life for all of us to grab some young person." On Giving Back "Practice the living prayer." On Community Service "Simple service. Just simple service." Final Thoughts Attorney James Carter's interview was a powerful reminder that success requires preparation, protection, participation, and purpose. From establishing a legally sound business to exercising the right to vote and mentoring the next generation, Carter reinforced that leadership is about more than personal achievement. His message was clear: build strong foundations, stay engaged in your community, protect your rights, and create pathways for others to succeed. Those actions ultimately strengthen businesses, families, and communities while helping everyone continue to Keep Winning. #STRAW #BEST #SHMS Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

In his first television interview, Patrick Clancy speaks with 60 MINUTES just weeks after his ex-wife, Lindsay Clancy, was on trial in one of America's most high-profile murder cases for the killing of their three children. Correspondent Ross Douthat sits down with Clancy for a conversation about grief, memories of his children, and the social media reactions that have swirled since the case made headlines. Clancy is also joined by his new wife, Dr. Rachel Danis. Michael Karzis is the producer.Data centers have become a flashpoint in the midterm elections and opposition to them has brought together both Democrats and Republicans. 60 MINUTES correspondent Norah O'Donnell travels to rural Texas to examine the boom in AI data centers — and the growing tension between economic development and community pushback. Roxanne Feitel is the producer.Correspondent Jon Wertheim looks back at Shergar, the champion racehorse kidnapped in Ireland in the early 1980s, and explores theories about his disappearance through firsthand accounts from those closest to the case. Nathalie Sommer and Kaylee Tully are the producers.

You’ll learn how to ask S-Lady to find a family member through Find My so you don’t have to call them, and why Command-Backtick (one key up from Tab) cycles windows inside a single app while Command-1, 2, 3 hops tabs in Safari, Chrome, Comet, and even Mail. You’ll follow Dave down the iPhone system data rabbit hole, where 59GB of mystery storage led to a full wipe, a genuinely useful “keep eSIMs and erase data” option, and then 52GB creeping right back three days later. You’ll turn an always-on Mac mini into an AirPlay music server you drive from the Remote app, so the party keeps playing after you make a beer run. You’ll discover that Terminal’s Secure Keyboard Entry checkbox is why your TextExpander and Rocket Typist snippets quit firing. And you’ll hear the cheapest Wi-Fi fix in history: delete the speed test app. Plus, AI as a genealogy research partner: the kind that surfaces buried leads you verify yourself. Don’t Get Caught after a macOS update wondering why Hazel stopped filing your bank statements: the rules were fine, but Spotlight’s index was in a bad state, so rebuild it with OnyX or Terminal and reboot. You’ll get real numbers on the Apple Upgrade Program: zero percent APR, financed through Klarna, three mandatory choices at the end of your term, and a “good condition” clause nobody defines. You’ll learn the Apple Watch Ultra 4’s screen really is bigger than Series 12’s, and that a 99-cent app called O2 Buddy puts blood oxygen back on your wrist. Then you’ll rethink family contact cards using smart lists built on a keyword in the Notes field, and hear why Contacts is the one thing Dave has ever lost to sync. Watch where new contacts get saved, or you’ll be staring at a text thinking…old contact, who dis? Closing it out: why Siri still wants a data connection for requests that should never leave your phone. 00:00:00 Mac Geek Gab 1160 for Monday, September 21st, 2026 September 21st: Wife Appreciation Day MGG Monthly Giveaway – Win a license to SuperDuper! 4 The MGG Merch Store is Live!

Podcast Movement 2026 Reflections + Lessons from Two People Who Run Podcast EventsI just got back from Podcast Movement, and a lot of you have been asking whether it was still worth going now that it's under new ownership, in a new location, with a whole new format. Short answer: I'm definitely going back.In this episode I walk through what changed, what I loved, what I'd tweak, and what Tom Webster's data says about where podcasting really stands. Then I sit down with two guys who have actually done it, Marc Ronick of Empowered Podcasting and Dr. Brad Miller of Pod Indy, to get the behind-the-scenes story of running a podcast event. If you've ever had that little voice in your head saying "maybe I should start my own meetup or conference," this one is for you.Podcast Movement 2026: Was It Worth It?I went down the list, old Podcast Movement versus new.The hotel and the cost. It used to be at Gaylord hotels, which run $1,000 a night, where the burgers are $30 apiece and you never leave the building. This year was BYOH: bring your own hotel. I stayed two nights at a Holiday Inn Express for $400 a night. Still pricey, but nowhere near the Gaylord. Tickets were also much cheaper because they weren't paying for that hotel arrangement. Point to the new Podcast Movement.The venue. Picture a small theater (think House of Blues) that had a baby with a cruise ship: three floors, and you can look down at the main stage from the top. The rooms were narrower, so the back row was farther from the stage than I was used to. I also learned I need new glasses, because the giant screen was split in two and I couldn't read the slides. Sessions ran with silent-disco-style headphones: turn the dial to yellow or green and you hear that stage. The strange part is that people talk while someone is presenting a few feet away. It went against everything in my body, but it works, and I could network the whole time. My one suggestion: turn on the house lights during networking breaks. When you have 40 minutes to meet people and can't see who's in the room, it's a problem (unless it's Rob Greenley, who is six foot six inches).Networking and the parties. PodPage hosted a small meetup, and I walked over to the Buzzsprout meetup too. Both were places where you could actually talk, with no blaring music. I've talked to Dan Franks, who helps plan Podcast Movement, and he says they tell every sponsor that people want to talk, not have their ears bleed. Nice to see it work.New York City. I'll miss Dallas and Chicago, but it's supposedly staying in New York to make it easier for international attendees. The food was a win, and I never felt unsafe walking around Hell's Kitchen. I ate at Cubbies and at McGee's, which I didn't realize until halfway through is tied to How I Met Your Mother.A smarter schedule. Monday and Tuesday were geared toward the business and advertising side, and Thursday and Friday were for indie podcasters. That means indie folks can save on the hotel bill.The talks are going online. They're putting the presentations on the Podcast Movement YouTube channel for free. I'm looking forward to catching the ones I missed, including Lou Mangiello and Rob Walch's talk about video.What I Learned from Tom WebsterIf you only see one talk at a conference, make it Tom Webster's. Here's what stuck with me:Podcasting has gone flat. It used to grow at least 3 to 5% a year, occasionally 7%. This past year it barely moved. It's still growing, but by a very small amount.Where people listen. In a survey of roughly 5,000 podcast consumers, the top three places were YouTube, Spotify, and Netflix. Not Apple, Pocket Casts, or Overcast.Where I disagree. YouTube and Spotify are open to anyone, so I get why people call them podcasts. Netflix isn't open. They have to choose you, and there's no RSS feed. For me, a podcast is an RSS feed with audio or video in it.Tom's Walmart analogy. Look at the CD section: a tiny collection of only the biggest hits (Back in Black, Rumors), nothing like a dedicated record store. His suggestion was that we should promote podcast-specific apps. My favorite is Pocket Casts: it plays audio and video, it has bookmarks (that's how I grab the clips I play on the show), and it has a web version.Podcast Standards Project: PodRoll Is ComingI sat in on my first Podcast Standards Project meeting. PodRoll, from the Podcasting 2.0 spec, is the modern version of a blogroll: a list of shows you personally recommend, living in your feed. Because feeds are public, anyone can see who's recommended most. That's human recommendations, not an algorithm you try to trick. Ask your media host if they support it (if not move ton one that does). The group is also looking at adding location, so you could find podcasts in your area.Video: Do You Have To?Some people insist you have to do video. Others said not only do you not have to, but the shows that added it didn't see much benefit beyond more work, cost, and time. In Apple's video spotlight, the shows featured were already big. I'm looking forward to Rob Walch's full presentation, because that's exactly the kind of "what's working and what's not" you go to a conference to learn.Small Events vs. Big OnesPodcast Movement had probably over 1,000 people. Empowered Podcasting had a little over 100 (about 150 this year), and Pod Indy will land somewhere between 50 and 100. Podfest usually draws a couple thousand. My favorite kind of event is single-track: everyone hears the same content, so when you step into the hallway you all have something to talk about.Interview: Running a Podcast Event with Marc Ronick and Dr. Brad MillerWhy they started. Brad spent 43 years as a pastor and was a Christian concert promoter, so he'd seen the power of live events. After connecting with his local podcasting group in Indianapolis, he launched Pod Indy in 2023 (I keynoted the first one), and the fourth is coming up. Mark had been podcasting as long as I have, and didn't step into a conference until about five years ago. He felt a little out of place at the big ones, so he built a place where he'd feel comfortable.Small is a feature. Mark went in wanting Empowered Podcasting to become the next Podcast Movement. After the first one (2024, under 100 people) he noticed magic in a smaller, more intimate room, where people were learning from each other outside the sessions. He'd cap it around 200. Brad goes deep on one track, one day.The biggest surprises:You can't do it alone. Mark thought he could run it almost by himself. He carried the financial and emotional load, burned out after year two, and nearly canceled three times. Jason and Rich stepped in to save it, and he made them business partners.Ticket sales come late. In Mark's second year, only about 20 tickets sold before the final month. Brad says two-thirds of tickets arrive in the last month. This year's sales were smoother for both, and both say credibility builds over time.Bring enough lead time. Brad's first event had only three months, and he bit off more than he could chew. He also lost money using a business center, so he moved it to his church, where he has a studio, and kept it to one day with no hotel block.Hotel blocks. If you don't fill the rooms, you pay anyway. Mark's went fine this year because speakers and a good share of attendees needed rooms.Money, honestly. Brad started by deciding what he could afford to lose (he did lose some the first year, and calls it an investment). Mark admits he wasn't careful with money in the first two years and took on some debt. Both credit their wives, Debbie and Amy, for keeping them grounded and for believing in the vision.Advice if you're thinking about it:Mark: Be okay with however many people show up. Start with a few who believe in your message. If they have a good experience, they come back and become your advocates.Brad: Build transformative relationships one on one, then a few together. Have coffee or lunch with someone, or start online, before deciding whether to do a formal event.Both: Virtual is great, but nothing replaces being around like-minded people in person.Choosing speakers. Mark's pet peeve is speaker submissions that are obviously written entirely by AI: "I love using AI, but that's a lazy move, and I don't know that I want a lazy speaker on one of my stages." (My favorite line on this: if you can't take the time to write it, produce it, or record it, why should I take the time to consume it?) Brad recruits speakers through personal relationships instead of an application process. Themes so far: podcasting as a business, AI, and this year taking your podcast (and your life) to the next level with keynote speaker Cliff Ravenscraft.Pod Indy: November 7, 2026When and where: November 7, 2026, in Whiteland, Indiana (suburban Indianapolis), 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.Tickets: $37 in person, $27 live stream.Discount: use code SOP for $5 off.On the lineup: Cliff Ravenscraft (keynote), John Lee Dumas (video), Craig on AI, and me.My TakeawayIf you try to start with 1,000 people, you'll burn...

UN week is here. Hundreds of presidents and prime ministers are headed to New York this week for the annual opening of the United Nations General Assembly. The presence of so many world leaders all in the same place at the same time makes UNGA the most important week of the diplomatic calendar. I'm joined today by Elizabeth Cousens, President and CEO of the United Nations Foundation who previews some of the key speeches, stories, trends and moments that will define UNGA81. We kick off discussing the leadership transition at the top of the United Nations before turning to some of the key issues she expects to drive the diplomatic agenda — including AI, Iran and and an international order teetering on the edge.

Learn what to weigh before investing in real estate syndications, including costs, risks and REIT alternatives. Should you diversify into real estate, and is real estate syndication the right way to do it? Hosts Sean Pyles, CFP®, and Elizabeth Ayoola talk with NerdWallet investing writer Sam Taube about what real estate syndication actually involves, the different ways to get in — from online crowdfunding platforms to launching your own deal — and the questions worth asking a sponsor before committing any money. They cover how much capital it typically takes, how long that money could be tied up, and why accredited-investor rules can lock out everyday investors. Sean and Elizabeth also weigh the potential tax benefits against the risks, including past scandals at some online platforms, and talk through simpler alternatives like real estate investment trust (REIT) ETFs for anyone who decides a private syndication is more risk and paperwork than it's worth. They wrap up with a candid conversation about financial anxiety on social media and why it's still worth saving even when money feels tight.

What will customers remember about a business when the voice answering their questions becomes the main expression of its identity? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Ruth Zive, who leads marketing at Voices, about the business and human questions surrounding AI voice. Voices is an enterprise marketplace and platform where companies can find professional voice actors, license AI voices with consent, and source custom voice data for training models. The company says its global talent network includes millions of performers and has served brands including Microsoft, Shopify, and Cisco. For years, much of the AI voice debate focused on whether synthetic speech could sound convincingly human. Ruth believes the commercial conversation has moved toward provenance, brand integrity, permission, and usage rights. A voice can sound polished while exposing a company to reputational damage if the performer did not understand the use, the license is unclear, or the same generic voice appears in a competitor's customer experience. Voices research cited during the interview found that 79 percent of business leaders believe inauthentic AI voices could damage brand perception. Ruth also says almost half of enterprise decision makers regard tone and emotional expression as the most important vocal factor in authenticity. That matters when a customer is frustrated, confused, or asking for help. A voice that sounds human but responds without suitable emotion can weaken trust at the exact moment a company needs to earn it. Ruth describes responsible licensing through three ideas: compensation, control, and consent. The performer should understand how the voice will be used, retain an agreed degree of control, and receive payment that reflects the commercial use. Those decisions need to appear in the contracting, licensing, and entitlements before a model is trained or placed in front of customers. We also consider the economic effect on professional performers. AI voice can change existing work, but Ruth argues that it can also create additional assignments when licenses are written carefully. An actor might provide the voice for an in-car assistant while continuing to record commercials in unrelated categories. Other opportunities include contact center experiences and the creation of specialized voice data used to train models. The positive case depends on clear boundaries and fair commercial terms rather than unlimited reuse. The brand question may become even larger as customers move from websites and typed interfaces toward spoken conversations. Ruth points to BMW's careful selection of voices based on customer profile, tone, language, accent, and how each performer sounded inside the vehicle cabin. Her advice is to treat a voice as a long-term brand asset, test it in the setting where customers will hear it, and confirm that the company has the required rights before deployment. Voice AI offers companies a more natural customer experience and gives performers access to new forms of paid work. It also raises difficult questions about disclosure, ownership, exclusivity, and trust. Should every company now have a formal policy for choosing, licensing, and governing the voice that speaks on its behalf? Listen to the conversation and share your thoughts with me.

Organizations are absorbing more change than they were ever built for, and that change always comes with a lot of feelings. Whether it's a layoff, a reorg, a promotion, or handing off a project you built, we're constantly having to shed hopes and dreams and stability and start over. But most companies are built to avoid those feelings, not process them, so they just accumulate. Leaders skip straight to the "let's get excited about the future!" phase, everyone's feelings go underground, and teams get trapped in a game of pretend that grinds work to a halt. In this episode, Rodney sits down with Molly Graham, founder of Glue Club and host of TED's WorkLife, to crack open the chestnut of identity, change, and grief at work. They explore the consequences that come with fusing who we are with what we do, the unintentional harm caused by leaders who pretend everything's fine when it's not, and why every big change needs a "funeral" before everyone can finally move forward.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Attorney James Carter. The 84th President of the National Bar Association, to discuss the critical role of legal protection in business, the importance of civic engagement and voting rights, the impact of the Black legal profession, and the responsibility of leaders to mentor future generations. The conversation focused on empowering entrepreneurs, protecting communities through legal advocacy, and creating opportunities through education and service. Key Takeaways 1. Every Business Needs a Strong Legal Foundation Attorney Carter emphasized that successful entrepreneurship begins with proper legal documentation. Contracts, operating agreements, and legal compliance are not optional expenses but essential investments that protect business owners from future disputes and misunderstandings. Lesson: Handshake agreements can lead to costly problems. Written agreements establish expectations and provide protection when challenges arise. 2. AI Is a Tool, Not a Substitute for Legal Expertise While artificial intelligence can help people begin researching legal matters, Carter warned against relying on AI as a final authority. He noted that AI systems can produce inaccurate information and that even attorneys have faced professional consequences for depending too heavily on AI-generated content. Lesson: Use technology to gather information, but rely on qualified professionals when making important legal decisions. 3. The National Bar Association Exists to Protect Rights and Advance Justice Carter discussed the long history and mission of the National Bar Association, which was founded in 1925 to advocate for African American attorneys and communities. He highlighted its role in significant civil rights efforts and its continued commitment to advancing freedom, justice, and equality. Lesson: Legal advocacy remains essential in protecting civil rights and ensuring equal access to opportunities. 4. Voting Is a Responsibility, Not Just a Right One of Carter's major priorities as NBA president is election protection. He described efforts to educate voters, provide resources, and help people overcome barriers to voting. He stressed that many people sacrificed greatly to secure voting rights, making civic participation a responsibility that should not be taken for granted. Lesson: Voting is one of the most powerful ways individuals can influence their communities and future generations. 5. Reputation Matters More Than Advertising Discussing legal advertising, Carter advised consumers to look beyond marketing campaigns and evaluate attorneys based on experience, qualifications, and proven results. Lesson: Whether choosing an attorney or any professional service provider, conduct research and evaluate credibility before making a decision. 6. Black Lawyers Play a Critical Role in Social Progress Carter emphasized the historic and ongoing contributions of Black attorneys in advancing civil rights, protecting communities, and shaping American society. He encouraged greater recognition of the profession's impact and the importance of supporting diverse legal representation. Lesson: Representation matters, and strong legal advocates continue to help create pathways to justice and opportunity. 7. Mentorship Should Be a Lifestyle One of the most inspiring parts of the conversation centered on mentorship. Carter shared lessons from his mentor and encouraged professionals to practice what he called "simple service" by consistently guiding, encouraging, and creating opportunities for younger generations. Lesson: Success is not just about personal achievement but also about helping others access opportunities and reach their potential. Memorable Quotes On Contracts and Business Agreements "It's a mutual document of distrust." On Written Agreements "Oftentimes when it comes down to money, in the end, folks get amnesia." On Artificial Intelligence "It's a good guide to help you start the process, but it is not the best guide to end the process." On the Mission of the National Bar Association "America lives its creed of freedom, justice and equality." On Civic Engagement "When we have the opportunity and the ability to rest upon the struggles of our ancestors who fought, bled and died, and you don't vote, that is very, very frustrating." On Mentorship "It should be a way of life for all of us to grab some young person." On Giving Back "Practice the living prayer." On Community Service "Simple service. Just simple service." Final Thoughts Attorney James Carter's interview was a powerful reminder that success requires preparation, protection, participation, and purpose. From establishing a legally sound business to exercising the right to vote and mentoring the next generation, Carter reinforced that leadership is about more than personal achievement. His message was clear: build strong foundations, stay engaged in your community, protect your rights, and create pathways for others to succeed. Those actions ultimately strengthen businesses, families, and communities while helping everyone continue to Keep Winning. #STRAW #BEST #SHMS Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

Mark Booth is the author of several comprehensive books including The Sacred History: How Angels, Mystics, and Higher Intelligence Made Our World, The Secret History of the World,  The Secret History of the Universe: How Ancient Wisdom Made the Modern World, and The Secret History of Dante: Unearthing the Mysteries of the Inferno. Mark explores the esoteric and initiatory dimensions of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, linking the poet's vivid journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven to the ancient mystery-school traditions that survived in the Knights Templar. He examines Dante's close connection to Brunetto Latini, the Templars' influence on the poem's cosmology and imagery, and the ways Dante's unconsummated love for Beatrice elevates romantic love into a cosmic, spiritual force. Booth also discusses how Dante's experience of initiation beneath the streets of Florence, his portrayal of contemporary figures in Hell, and his vision of a universe moved entirely by love reveal a hidden mystical current running through medieval Catholicism and Western culture. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:04:09 Dante and Beatrice 00:12:51 Knights Templar origins 00:21:08 Templars and Dante 00:27:41 Virgil as guide 00:32:37 Templar persecution 00:37:14 Church and occult 00:42:13 Popes in hell 00:44:50 Conclusion New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

Ed Sheeran has spoken out at the start of his first show since the rapper Macklemore was dropped from his US tour over pro-Palestinian comments. The British singer said the Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023 were horrific, but Israel's subsequent response had been disproportionate. He said his heart had been broken by the scale of devastation. Also: for the first time since those Hamas attacks on Israel sparked the war on Gaza, half a million children inside the territory are returning to formal education. Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen say they have carried out drone and ballistic missile attacks on the Saudi capital Riyadh, as well as energy sites on the country's Red Sea coast. Germany is holding two state elections this weekend in the wake of the recent successes of the far-right Alternative fur Deutschland - or AfD - party which recorded its best ever result. And Google has confirmed that its AI system, Gemini, hacked into three companies during a test in May. The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

His core argument: subsidizing groceries with taxpayer dollars removes the innovation impulse that has actually made food cheaper and better over time, and it weaponizes people's own tax money against the private grocers trying to compete—driving them out of business rather than helping anyone. He points to East vs. West Berlin as the natural experiment: where government controlled prices, shelves stayed sparse and quality stagnated for decades; where the free market ran, innovation in quality and distribution kept driving prices down. He illustrates the unintended consequences of subsidies with a personal story—how decades of government corn subsidies made high-fructose corn syrup artificially cheap, built the entire food-manufacturing supply chain around it (contributing, he argues, to America's health crisis), and how Quest had to engineer its own equipment to make a bar without it. His bigger thesis: the problem isn't capitalism or too few regulations—it's money in politics and regulatory capture that has "socialized" losses for banks, corporations, and individuals alike. What he wants is a return to lightly-regulated free markets (not libertarian anarchy)—strong antitrust to stop monopolies, room for the little guy to innovate—so prices keep falling and quality keeps rising. He closes on a fiscal-discipline point aimed squarely at voters: every "cheaper groceries" or "free childcare" promise makes the K-shaped economy worse unless someone says what gets cut to pay for it—and since politics is downstream of culture, politicians will keep giving us "free stuff" as long as we keep voting for it.All three hosts—Tom (Gen X), Drew (millennial), and Ryan (Gen Z)—get into a genuine, generation-spanning debate about whether Gen Z is headed for greatness or for trouble. It starts with New York lowering high-school graduation standards in the name of empathy, which Tom uses to argue that comfort makes people soft ("hard times make strong men")—that decades of prosperity have removed the impetus to push young people toward excellence, and that he worries Gen Z is being raised on participation trophies, blank-slate thinking, and an oppressor/oppressed lens rather than the idea that strength is a virtue. Drew pushes back optimistically: that Gen Z is getting "the end of the stick in every direction" and will become the baddest, toughest generation precisely because of it—already grinding through the high-expectations "A-minus" pressure, being told to go to college, and doing the hard things now. Ryan makes the sharpest counter: that the claim Gen Z doesn't build is unfair because they haven't been given the chance—no assets, no money, doors that were open to prior generations now closed by private equity and monetization; he cites applying to hundreds of jobs and getting a single interview, and a generation working multiple jobs just to make rent. Tom's fear, which he's careful to flag as possibly "algorithmic capture" or a bad read: that Gen Z is mapping onto activism-as-religion—putting its energy into political change and tearing down rather than building, and that "politics is downstream of culture," so the real leverage is building businesses, telling stories, and creating things that shift the culture. He anchors his challenge in Booker T. Washington ("learn to make bricks" rather than wait to be given a system) and argues the one fatal trap is bitterness and resentment, however justified the grievances. Ryan holds his ground—that engaging the political apparatus and protesting is Gen Z refusing to sit behind a screen and taking action themselves. A candid, unresolved clash that ends with the hosts joking that in 30 years, one of them will be proven wrong, one bitter, and one dead.The team digs into the Lindsay Clancy retrial—but the host's focus is less the case itself than what it reveals about jury integrity. After jurors from the earlier proceedings reportedly went public (talking to outlets like CBS) and, in the host's read, admitted to bringing a political agenda into deliberations, he argues this strikes at the foundation of the system: jurors are sworn to be impartial and to decide only on the evidence and the rules of the courtroom, and a juror who enters with a predetermined outcome—whatever the cause—means justice isn't being served. He's careful to note there's a legitimate debate to be had about the one juror who said he had "reasonable doubt" (since the standard is proof beyond a reasonable doubt), but says the truly alarming thing is jurors stating on camera that they were pursuing a political aim. He connects it to a second, chilling example: a Colorado DNA analyst whose work is now under review across a huge number of cases (reporting cited on air suggests over 1,000 cases retested and roughly 1,045 tainted over a decades-long career), raising the nightmare that a single compromised person inside the system can send the wrong people to prison—or let the wrong people out. His throughline is a worry about the broader culture: that if you can't assemble a jury pool that isn't ideologically captured, the promise of a fair trial itself is in jeopardy. The segment also touches on the human reality that jury duty is a burden few people want.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

President Trump is set to host Chinese President Xi Jinping for a high stakes state visit in Washington, opening a crucial window of diplomacy between the world's two largest economies. The meeting comes at a time when tech leaders are raising alarms over rapid artificial intelligence development, and lawmakers are debating how to manage catastrophic risks without falling behind geopolitical rivals like China. Michael Allen, Managing Director at Beacon Global Strategies, joins the Rundown to discuss what to expect from the Trump-Xi summit, the AI debate, critical minerals, and how military intelligence sharing factors into the relationship. Later, Congressman Jay Obernolte (R-CA), Chair of the bipartisan House Task Force on AI, joins to unpack whether Congress can realistically regulate artificial intelligence and why he remains an "AI optimist."

In an unprecedented attack on the First Amendment, Donald Trump has announced an immediate ban on major news outlets including CNN, MS Now, and Politico from the White House press pool. This move follows explosive investigative reports covering hidden casualties in the war in Iran, AI-generated intelligence blunders that nearly triggered a broader conflict, and military tech leaks to China. Unable to refute the facts, the administration has resorted to retaliatory bans, escalating a decade-long crusade against independent journalism. Independent media has never been more important.

Welcome to a thought-provoking episode of Build a Better Agency! This week, host Drew McLellan confronts a topic that every agency leader needs to address: operational inefficiency and the hidden costs it creates. Joined by operational efficiency expert Michael Greenberg, Drew explores why so many agencies find themselves drowning in disconnected tech stacks, tribal knowledge, and manual processes—and what it really takes to fix it. Drawing from his extensive experience in agency operations and as the author of a book on digital maturation, Michael Greenberg breaks down his five-level framework for operational excellence. Listeners will discover how most agencies get stuck at "Level 2," juggling a mess of cloud-based tools that don't talk to each other, and why that bottleneck blocks the path to real AI adoption. Together, Drew and Michael pull back the curtain on "operational debt" and "operational drag"—those silent killers of growth and profit—and walk through real-world case studies, including agencies faced with integrating multiple acquired firms and their overlapping systems. You'll hear step-by-step strategies for moving your agency forward, from getting buy-in across your team to documenting processes and making smart technology choices. They discuss practical ways to quantify the cost of inefficiency, shortcuts for finding your biggest wins, and even how to gamify process improvement so change actually happens. Plus, Michael shares the single easiest place to start leveraging AI—no full tech overhaul required. This episode is a must-listen if you're feeling overwhelmed by tech bloat, turnover risk, or simply want your agency to be faster, more scalable, and ready for the future. Walk away with actionable tactics to build consistency, boost client confidence, and unlock the next level of profitability—no matter where you're starting.

This week, the crew tackles why we process public figures as symbols rather than individuals, the coded distance-making behind skin-tone labels, rigged institutional games, and generational disconnects.Check-In & Hot Topics: College hair decisions, soaring gas prices, and police abuse of Flock surveillance camerasModern Romance: Hall passes vs. relationship resetsIn the News & Online Discourse: Mitch McConnell updates, AI panic vs. reality, and viral culture debatesSports Roundup: Wild NFL Week 1 finishes and college football chaosEntertainment & Tech: AI actors taking Hollywood and internet trend roundupsSymbol vs. Individual: How public figures like Tyler Perry and Diddy become archetypes for institutional protection or belief, and the media's obsession with moral theaterColorism & Language: Why "brown skin" is often deployed to create anti-Black distance from dark skin rather than serving as a neutral descriptorRigged Systems: Institutional double standards, shifting goalposts, and the illusion of winning in biased spacesGenerational Fatigue: Why millennials might need to retire and how pop culture became so out of touch

Delegating feels impossible when you run a school alone — until you turn what's stuck in your head into a playbook someone else can run. Delegation is the hardest skill for a principal running a school without an assistant principal — every checklist, process, and judgment call lives in one head, and that head is exhausted. Kati Cahill, Head of School at Humanex Academy, a small private school for neurodivergent students south of Denver, walks through how she's been using an AI thought partner to pull her admissions process and scheduling system out of her head and into playbooks her team can actually run. She also breaks down how the same backward-planning conversation turned her 90-day entry plan into four owned workstreams — communication, academics, culture, and operations — instead of a document that sits in a folder, and how she built a reusable "wins" template that turns a year of staff stories into an instant morale boost when energy dips. This one's a real look at what sustainable school leadership looks like when you're the entire admin team. ⌚️ Episode Timestamps 00:00 - Turning the systems in your head into playbooks 04:13 - Leading a school with no assistant principal 07:05 - A solo retreat that led to staying 13:36 - Inside the Mastermind hot seat and book study 21:16 - Using Digital Danny to stop overthinking 24:08 - Building a 90-day entry plan by department 33:38 - Turning staff wins into a shareable template 37:03 - Defining one belief to repeat all year 42:34 - Why Digital Danny stays open as a tab 48:00 - The takeaway on making the job sustainable

Kyle Vowinkel is a decorated former FBI senior executive, West Point graduate, keynote speaker, and author of the forthcoming book Shaping Chaos. During more than 24 years with the FBI, Kyle served on both the FBI Hostage Rescue Team and Crisis Negotiation Unit, making him one of only five agents to serve on both. He has negotiated with kidnappers, pirates, and terrorists and deployed alongside U.S. Special Operations Forces. Today, he helps leaders assess risk, make better decisions under uncertainty, influence others, and act decisively when the stakes are high. On this episode we talk about: Why Kyle decided to serve his country and ultimately pursue a career with the FBI How earning money from a paper route at 11 taught him the value of saving and investing early The financial lessons Kyle learned from his father and through government service How Kyle built nearly 32 years of government service and incorporated his military time into his federal retirement Launching his business, Inner Perimeter, after retiring from the FBI How professional connections helped create opportunities for Kyle after leaving the FBI Why nurturing relationships over the long term is one of the most valuable things you can do for your career The radically different approaches Kyle learned from serving on both the Hostage Rescue Team and Crisis Negotiation Unit How lessons from high-stakes FBI operations translate directly into sales, leadership, and entrepreneurship The four-step “path to influence”: framing, empathy, rapport, and giving people choices How Kyle used genuine connection and empathy during the Boston Marathon bombing manhunt Why “control can extract compliance, but choice creates commitment” How giving people agency can make them more committed to a decision Why empathy doesn't require agreeing with someone The importance of seeing a situation from another person's perspective before trying to influence them What entrepreneurs and leaders can learn from crisis-response decision-making Why leaders should establish decision-making triggers before a crisis happens How businesses can prepare for uncertainty by planning for best-case, most likely, and worst-case scenarios Kyle's forthcoming book, Shaping Chaos, and the lessons he drew from his FBI career Top 3 Takeaways: 1. Make the hard decisions before the pressure hits.Kyle explains that emotions tend to rise while rational thinking declines as a crisis intensifies. One way to counter that is to establish decision-making triggers in advance. Whether you're responding to a kidnapping or preparing a business for a major market event, knowing ahead of time what circumstances will trigger specific actions can help teams respond decisively rather than emotionally. 2. Influence starts with understanding, not coercion.Kyle's experience as a crisis negotiator taught him that people are more receptive when they feel seen, valued, and heard. Framing the conversation from the other person's perspective, demonstrating empathy, building genuine rapport, and giving people choices can create a much stronger path to influence than simply trying to force compliance. 3. Relationships remain a competitive advantage.Kyle emphasizes that professional relationships need to be nurtured over time rather than activated only when you need something. Checking in, helping others, and building genuine connections creates a network that can support you throughout different seasons of your career. As Kyle puts it, AI may change how we work, but it can't replace the one-on-one relationships that help people succeed. Notable Quotes: “I've been working since I'm eleven.” “You can let chaos shape you, or you can try to shape the chaos.” “Control can extract compliance, but choice creates commitment.” “When people feel that they are seen, valued, and heard, that's the kind of three trifecta.” “Empathy is not judgment.” “You don't just want them to go along because they have to go along. You want them choosing to.” “You make the hard decisions in advance.” Connect with Kyle Vowinkel: Website: https://www.kylevowinkel.com/ Book: Shaping Chaos, available for pre-order ahead of its November release A Word from Our Sponsors:- The most successful business owners don't do it all themselves — they delegate.

Bennett Borden is the founder of Clarion AI Partners. In this conversation, he tells Dov what three years on the streets installed in him that no law degree ever could, what it felt like to watch the definition of good and bad guys keep shifting over eight years at the CIA, and what it was like to stand at the Berlin Wall the night it came down, because he had gone there deliberately.He also delivers the most practical thing any leader deploying AI needs to hear: transforming your organization with AI is twenty percent technological and eighty percent psychological. Most leaders are getting both wrong.The question Dov asks at the end, about what that boy on the streets would think of the man Bennett became, produces the most honest and unexpected answer in this series. Bennett says he couldn't have answered it two years ago. What changed, and what he says he now feels for the first time in his career, is worth staying for.Connect with Bennett:LinkedIn: Bennett Borden: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bennett-borden/Website: https://clarionai.comEmail: bennett.borden@clarionailaw.comConnect with Dov:Website: https://DovBaron.comApply to work with Dov: dovbaron.com Email: dov@dovbaron.comWe sincerely appreciate it; please rate, review, and subscribe.

Are fears about AI justified, or is it fear itself that's the problem? In this episode, Thom puts today's anxiety about artificial intelligence into a much larger context, from thermonuclear war to the Vedic understanding of consciousness itself. He explores why fear is the real danger, how Vedic Meditation helps stabilize awareness, and what it means to participate fully in life without panic. Listen to or watch this episode for a grounded Vedic perspective on AI, consciousness, and how to stay steady in uncertain times. Episode Highlights[00:45] Fear Is the Real Enemy[04:06] Create Collective Consciousness[06:25] One Consciousness Field[08:37] Vedic Meditation Beats Panicking[11:33] Be a Super Evolved Cannibal[12:52] Humanity Has Survived Before[14:45] Enjoy Life While You Can[16:15] Consciousness Is UnslayableUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

Can ideas developed thousands of years ago help leaders make better decisions about AI, data and digital transformation today? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Alfonso Asensio, author of Digital Wisdom: Leading Transformation With the Sophia Factor and head of data measurement for global clients at Google in Tokyo. Alfonso has spent his career working across data, digital business and global client leadership, but his latest work looks beyond technical capability. He asks what changes when organizations bring sound judgment, ethical reasoning and human purpose into the decisions that shape digital change. We begin with Sophia, the classical Greek idea of wisdom. Alfonso argues that modern business often treats wisdom as another word for knowledge, even though the older idea also included practical intelligence and judgment. Technical expertise can tell a company whether a system can be built. Wisdom asks why it should be built, who benefits and what consequences may follow. That distinction matters when businesses feel pressure to adopt AI because competitors are doing the same. Alfonso shares the story of a large company with the resources, talent and urgency to pursue an ambitious digital program. When he asked what the business was trying to achieve, the answer became a list of fashionable technologies. AI-driven customer activity, blockchain supply chains and data optimization had become substitutes for a clear objective. His conclusion was that the company was attempting to build its future on buzzwords. Sometimes the better decision is to remain analog in a particular process if that choice serves customers and employees better. We also consider Socratic thinking in organizations where boards and investors expect certainty. For Socrates, confusion was a stage in learning rather than a failure of leadership. Alfonso believes leaders can use probing questions to expose assumptions and contradictions before a technology plan becomes expensive. Admitting uncertainty can be difficult, but false certainty can send a business confidently in the wrong direction. Heraclitus offers another useful comparison. Technology resembles a river that never stops moving, while employees need stability and meaning. Alfonso argues that leaders should create stable banks around that flow through a consistent capacity for improvement, adaptation and long-term thinking. The tools will continue to change, but organizations can reduce exhaustion when people understand the purpose behind that change and have a reliable way to respond. One of the most memorable parts of our conversation compares large language models with the Oracle of Delphi. Ancient leaders sought answers from an institution whose workings they could not fully see. Modern users can receive equally confident guidance from AI systems without knowing which data, assumptions or commercial interests influenced the response. Alfonso's point is not that machines are mystical. It is that people need discernment, source awareness and judgment when an answer arrives with authority. We then turn to Epicurus and the idea of ataraxia, or freedom from anxiety. In a business setting, Alfonso connects this with reducing unnecessary friction, decision fatigue and overload. Systems should be reliable, suited to the organization and valuable to employees as well as customers. Governance sometimes requires deliberately adding friction before investment, so teams can pressure test assumptions and ask whether people will be served by a tool or forced to serve it. Alfonso closes with two questions for any leader considering a major AI decision. What is our identity as an organization, and are we acting ethically? He uses Blockbuster as an example of a company that defined itself through videotape rental rather than entertainment. A clear identity can help a business choose technology that supports its purpose. The ethical check then asks whether transparency, consent and accountability are present, or whether data and algorithms are being used to manipulate people. Are organizations giving themselves enough time to ask why an AI system should exist before asking how quickly it can be deployed? Listen to the conversation, then share your thoughts with me.

Dr. Michael Roizen returns for Part 2 of the conversation on longevity, healthspan, and the future of healthy aging. Building on the previous discussion, he dives deeper into The Great Age Reboot and the emerging science behind extending not just lifespan, but years of health, mobility, and vitality. From brain health and stress management to nutrition, movement, purpose, and the latest advances in longevity research, Dr. Roizen shares practical steps people can take today while exploring what the future of medicine may make possible tomorrow.  Key Takeaways:   Healthy aging is shaped by the daily choices we make long before we reach older age.  Brain health benefits from movement, cognitive challenges, stress management, and meaningful engagement.  Nutrition, physical activity, and healthy metabolic markers are important foundations for longevity.  Purpose, friendship, and play can help support a healthier and more fulfilling life as we age.  Emerging advances in gene editing, stem cell research, and other longevity therapies could reshape how we approach aging in the future.   We couldn't highlight incredible stories like this without the support of our sponsor, CommunityAmerica Credit Union.
