Your brain is wired to find patterns. That's mostly a good thing... until it's not. This episode breaks down illusory correlation: why your team sees connections that aren't there, and what you can do to stop making decisions based on a handful of vivid moments dressed up as a trend.Have you ever watched your team make a confident product decision based on a pattern that, when you actually look at the data, barely exists?Illusory correlation is the bias that turns coincidence into conviction. When two things happen close together -- even just once or twice -- our brains quietly file them as connected. The concept was first identified by psychologist Loren J. Chapman in 1967, who noticed that trained clinical professionals were reporting patient behavior patterns that statistically didn't exist. The problem isn't laziness or bad intent. It's just how human memory works. Rare or distinctive events get stored differently, and when two unusual things co-occur, the brain treats that pairing as meaningful -- even when it's pure chance.In product and design work, this plays out constantly and in ways that feel completely legitimate. A feature ships and traffic ticks up the next day, so the launch gets the credit -- even though a competitor was down and marketing ran a campaign. Six user interviews produce two mentions of a feature, and suddenly that feature defines the whole persona. A few support tickets from one customer segment, and that segment becomes "a tough audience." The misses get forgotten. The hits stack up. And the team ends up navigating by a pattern that was never really there. This episode breaks down how illusory correlation sneaks into your metrics, your research, and your team dynamics -- and gives you a few concrete habits to start catching it before it shapes your roadmap. Give it a listen.Topics:• 02:20 – Personal story: the engineering lead I had all wrong• 04:29 – What is illusory correlation?• 04:46 – The origin: Chapman's 1967 research• 06:19 – Hamilton & Gifford: how the bias distorts how we see groups• 07:10 – Kahneman & Tversky: why illusory correlations stick• 07:50 – How it shows up in your product metrics• 08:23 – The A/B testing problem• 09:00 – How it distorts how teams think about people and segments• 09:26 – How it corrupts user research• 09:50 – Engineering superstitions and team dynamics• 10:27 – Why more data isn't always the fix• 11:00 – Five habits to fight illusory correlation—Thanks for listening!

Dynamic, Spirit-Led Instruction: Effective leadership teaching involves adjusting prepared messages in real time based on the immediate spiritual needs, hearts, and faces of the congregation. Continuous Personal Preparation: Rather than relying solely on structured notes, a leader’s preparation must be a daily habit of scripture study, deep pondering, and intentional spiritual readiness. Prophetic Alignment: Local teaching gains transformative power when leaders deliberately anchor their messages in the specific doctrines and priorities emphasized by the living prophet. Authentic Preparation and People Management: Successful leadership requires a balance of understanding structural logistics (“the X’s and O’s”) while remaining fundamentally focused on breaking down barriers to unite and care for people. Leadership Applications Adapting Teaching Formats: Rather than adhering rigidly to pre-written notes during a stake or ward conference, a leader can observe the congregation, look into their hearts, and allow impressions to dictate the ultimate focus of the instruction. Implementing Daily Spiritual Habits: Leaders can shift from last-minute meeting preparation to a model of daily scripture immersion, ensuring they are always spiritually prepared to receive revelation whenever an unexpected counseling or teaching opportunity arises. Unifying Specialized Councils: When working with various ward or stake organizations, a leader can focus on breaking down institutional silos to build a culture of authentic collaboration focused entirely on the individuals they serve.

In this episode of Sauna Talk, Glenn sits down with Bill Gifford, author of Hotwired: How the Hidden Power of Heat Makes Us Stronger, for a wide-ranging conversation on sauna, heat adaptation, and the connection between physical challenge and mental well-being. Bill shares how his journey into heat began through personal stress, scientific curiosity, and his reporting on the powerful effects of sauna and thermal exposure. Together, Glenn and Bill explore the famous Finnish sauna research of Dr. Jari Laukkanen, the role of heat in cardiovascular and mental health, and the way sauna can act as both a physiological reset and a social connector. They also dive into Bill's experience training for the brutal Hotter Than Hell 100, what heat adaptation teaches us about resilience, and why sauna offers something much bigger than simple recovery. From neurotransmitters and stress relief to friendship, veterans' healing, and the culture of bathing, this episode shows how heat can make us stronger in body, mind, and spirit.

Why are more people diagnosed, medicated, and labeled than ever before—yet no better off? Hosts Scott Brown and Jason Dohm speak with biblical counselor Greg Gifford about his book, Lies My Therapist Told Me. Addressing the confusion at the heart of modern mental health, Gifford exposes how secular psychology replaces repentance with diagnosis and promotes a “therapeutic” worldview that often undermines biblical truth. From the dangers of identity shaped by disorder to the relational fallout of unbiblical “boundaries,” this episode calls Christians back to the sufficiency of Scripture—and the only path to true healing.

2026-04-07 I Inquiry I The Smallest Thing I Josh Gifford by Appamada

When a book came across my desk about the benefits of heat, my first thought was, “Really?” We've been in the age of cold plunges for quite a while, but now it's heat? I also wondered, does it take an entire book to explain this? Then I saw the author was Bill Gifford. Bill is a veteran magazine writer and editor who writes about extraordinary athletes and cutting-edge health science. He is coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestseller, Outlive, which has sold more than two million copies, as well as the New York Times bestseller Spring Chicken: Stay Young Forever (Or Die Trying). He is a longtime contributing editor at Outside, and his work has appeared in Wired, Bloomberg Businessweek, Men's Health, Bicycling, The Washington Post, and others, as well as in Best American Sportswriting. This latest book is called HOTWIRED: How the Hidden Power of Heat Makes Us Stronger, and in it he does like all the great journalist and shares his personal journey in experiencing heat therapy. What I initially intrigued myself with was Bill's look into history where we routinely experienced long periods of high heat and air conditioning wasn't normal until the 1950s and 1960s. We always had fire and the ability to heat up an environment, but when it was hot, for the span of our existence, we adapted to it. We discuss the issues around our seeming inability to deal with any discomfort, and how fragile we seem to be becoming in our culture. So while we can exist in temperature controlled environments almost entirely, and it may be comfortable, is this existence best for our overall health and well-being?

In this episode, we delve into the remarkable experiences of Danny, a retired military veteran who spent years exploring the rugged backcountry surrounding Carson, Washington, deep within the forests of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Drawn to the wilderness for hiking, fishing, and searching for historic mining sites, Danny recounts a trip in the summer of 2004 that led to events he never expected to witness.While navigating remote logging roads and creeks in the mountains of Skamania County, Danny describes strange activity that unfolded over the course of a single trip into the forest. A quiet night in camp turned unsettling after something large made its presence known in the darkness. The following day brought another discovery along an abandoned road that suggested something massive had recently passed through the area.Later that afternoon, deep along a secluded forest road, Danny found himself standing only a short distance away from something he initially believed was part of the landscape itself. As the moment unfolded, he realized he was looking at something entirely different.Danny shares the details of that encounter, the environment where it happened, and what stood out most about the creature he observed. Join us as we explore Danny's experience in the remote wilderness of Washington and the moment that left a lasting impression on how he views the forests of the Pacific Northwest.

In HOTWIRED: How the Hidden Power of Heat Makes Us Stronger (Harper Wave; on sale 3/17/2026), Bill Gifford-science journalist and coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestseller Outlive-delivers a groundbreaking look at the science of heat adaptation and sweat therapy such as sauna, revealing how we can unlock our forgotten evolutionary superpowers. Drawing on pioneering research in evolutionary biology, thermal physiology, and mental health, Gifford explores how humans evolved to thrive in the heat-and how modern life has disconnected us from this advantage. Blending innovative science, personal experiences, and actionable insights, Gifford shows how targeted heat exposure can boost resilience, longevity, and even happiness by activating the body's innate survival mechanisms.During his two-year exploration of the power of heat, Gifford sweated all over the world and dug in deep with experts, athletes, workers, scientists, sauna addicts, and more. His fascinating journey included:· Immersing himself in local sauna cultures around the world, from Finland to Bucharest to Minnesota to New York City, where he bonded with complete strangers in a social sauna and felt the power of communal wellness· Serving as a test subject in a cutting-edge heat lab dedicated to pushing the limits of heat adaptation for athletes and to protecting workers from heatstroke· Putting the science of heat training into practice on a 100-mile bike ride under a scorching Texas sunBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

In this episode, we sit down with Aleks Petakov of Small Town Monsters to explore years of boots-on-the-ground Bigfoot investigations stretching from the remote coastline of Alaska to the dense forests of Kentucky and beyond. Aleks shares what it is really like to spend extended time in isolated wilderness where help is miles away and unusual activity unfolds long after midnight.On Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, Aleks recounts late-night wood knocks cutting through the rainforest, rocks striking shoreline waters in the early morning hours, and heavy stomping sounds moving near camp. He describes the discovery of a primate-like handprint on a remote cabin, large impressions pressed deep into moss, and a strange rock-scraping sound heard from across a creek that has never been fully explained.The conversation moves to a cold November night in Kentucky, where a distinct wood knock was followed by a large thermal heat signature on a hillside that disappeared within minutes. Aleks reflects on the challenge of documenting fleeting moments like these, the weight of credible eyewitness testimony, and what long-term fieldwork teaches you about patience, risk, and uncertainty.We also discuss his upcoming Journey to Ape Island project on Vancouver Island, an area layered with Indigenous history, generations of Sasquatch lore, and some of the most rugged terrain in North America.Join us for a grounded, field-driven conversation that brings you into the reality of modern Bigfoot investigation and leaves you thinking long after the episode ends.ResourcesAlaskan Coastal Sasquatch Documentaryhttps://youtu.be/kjLLHL7GouQ?si=ZWykQHuUk-jAlTaNSmall Town Monsters 2026 Kickstarter (UFOs, Dogman & Bigfoot)https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/minervamonster/small-town-monsters-2026-ufos-dogman-and-bigfoot

Brian sits down with Steve of Steve Searches to talk Bigfoot research, drone mapping, and going solo in the wild. Steve traces his fascination back to the Patterson–Gimlin film and The Legend of Boggy Creek, plus years of solo camping on a Montana farm. After military service, he built a career in drafting and mapmaking—eventually integrating drones into terrain mapping, a skill he now uses in Sasquatch research.Midway through the episode, Brian pauses to provide a detailed update on the disappearance of Kyron Horman (June 4, 2010, Skyline Elementary, Portland). He outlines the timeline, investigative shifts, focus on stepmother Terri Horman, reported inconsistencies, and alleged murder-for-hire claims. With renewed review efforts under a new DA in 2025—including digitization and planned FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit involvement—the case remains open. A $50,000 reward is still being offered for credible information.Back in the forest, Steve shares experiences from Gifford Pinchot National Forest and Mount St. Helens, including a 2008 incident near Ape Cave involving sudden silence and a strong animal odor. Around 2020–2021, he connected with regional researchers, began pro bono drone work, attended Squatch festivals, and launched Steve Searches (YouTube, Facebook, and blog) in 2023. He's since collaborated with Michelle Heaton, the Sweet Home Oregon Sasquatch Research Group, and Sasquatch Highway.Steve describes his evidence-first approach—mapping, measuring, documenting, and presenting findings without firm conclusions—while remaining open to high-strangeness elements. He also discusses solo field safety and recounts intense 2023–2024 encounters, including loud rock clacks, nighttime footsteps around his tent, and a large limb crashing across a road as he packed up—an event that ended the trip.Find Steve at Steve Searches (YouTube & Facebook), stevesearches.com, and his new project Planet Sasquatch, a developing hub for gear reviews and shared field techniques.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Kirsty Gibson is an investment manager at Baillie Gifford, where she has spent over 13 years.  She is currently focused in particular on investing in US equities with a growth orientation. Our conversation starts with Kirsty's roots and her training in classical ballet. This was an unusual yet direct route to Baillie Gifford as she first came across the firm when she saw that they were sponsoring a ballet performance they had attended – evidence that sponsorship of similar events does in fact get noticed and yield returns! We move then to her investment beliefs, her Masters in carbon management and what she derived from it and her approach to stock picking. We dive into the cultural aspects that make a firm a rewarding place to work, and about the mindset needed to thrive as an active equity manager today.  This podcast is kindly sponsored by Evanston Capital and Alvine Capital.

On today's Witness Wednesday, Dr. Greg Gifford joins Todd Friel at the University of North Georgia to field questions on faith, mental health, and therapy. Dr. Gifford brings his expertise in the field of Biblical Counseling to challenge students on their ideas about therapy and medication. Segment 1: • Todd and Greg confront the popular “Jesus and therapy” trend, urging students to consider the sufficiency of Christ alone. • Learn the critical difference between therapists who integrate worldly psychology and those who stand on Scripture. • Real hope comes when sin is called what it is: something Christ can actually set you free from. Segment 2: • Greg is asked why he didn't address abuse and Trauma. Abuse and deep wounds deserve more than 20-minute treatments; Scripture speaks to them with care and power. • Biblical counseling doesn't ignore pain—it applies truth to the heart and brings real healing. • Discover why people often say “I've read this verse 100 times, but now it hits different.” Segment 3: • A student asks, “Has Christ ever restored your hope personally?” • Todd shares his childhood anxiety and how Jesus completely redefined his fears. • Don't underestimate the power of a local church and Scripture applied directly to your hardest questions. Segment 4: • One student wrestles with surrendering fear—and Todd & Greg dig deep. • Multiple students ask about anxiety, humility, and Bible reading. • Anxiety fades when truth replaces lies, which happens when we fill our mind with God's word and are transformed. Don't just check boxes; use Scripture to engage your heart and fight your sin. ___ Thanks for listening! Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.

Our guest host today is Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford from the Transformed podcast! Segment 1 • AI chatbots now offer therapy, dating advice, and moral commentary. • Christians need to sharpen discernment and develop a healthy skepticism of digital “truth.” • Zuckerberg envisions a future where most of your “friends” are bots. Segment 2 • Millions turn to AI bots due to loneliness, cost, or distrust in traditional therapy. • AI therapy feels emotionally validating, but it's really subjective. • Some chat bots have already crossed lines with minors. Segment 3 • Dr. Gifford's chatbot told him to quit based on a venting session. • Teens use amoral chatbots to guide them toward moral decisions. • ChatGPT answered hot-button worldview questions with pre-loaded narratives with no commitment to actual truth. Segment 4 • Seeking wisdom from chatbots replaces Christ's body with code and undermines Christian community. • AI gives advice that affirms what someone already believes. • Christians must be radically discerning, especially for their kids. ___ Thanks for listening!

In this episode, Joel Crawford and Cody Frost, two experienced overlanders, share a chilling overnight encounter deep in Washington State's Gifford Pinchot National Forest, near Ape Canyon, Muddy River, and the infamous Dark Divide. What began as a routine camping trip quickly turned unsettling when unexplained radio-like static, heavy footsteps, and coordinated movement around their camp broke the silence of the forest.As the night progressed, something physically shook a detached overland trailer, despite no visible animals or people nearby. Later, strange call-and-response vocalizations echoed through the ravine, moving rapidly through dense old-growth forest. Multiple members of the group—including children—heard the activity, confirming this was not an isolated experience.This episode explores possible Sasquatch activity, unexplained phenomena reported by overlanders, and why the Gifford Pinchot National Forest continues to be one of the most mysterious and active areas for unexplained encounters in North America.ResourcesJeremiah's hat worn in this episode provided by Squatch'n game and available at https://playitforwardstudios.com/Joel and Cody on Salish Sasquatch Channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Y07p13RgOU&t=1634s
