Podcasts about Google Maps

In this Friday solo episode, Bradley Hamner uses a tool everyone already trusts to make a point about direction. Every time you open Google Maps, it needs two coordinates: where you are right now and where you are trying to go. Bradley argues your business requires the exact same two points, a clear point A and a clear point B.He walks through what happens when obstacles appear between those two points. Maps reroute without ever touching the destination, yet business owners often do the reverse, pulling the vision back the moment things get hard. Bradley explains why a three-year vision should function as a fixed destination, why you keep an old vision as an artifact even when your thinking changes, and how 90-day priorities, one-year objectives, and a long-term picture work together as a roadmap.This episode moves past the metaphor and into how you actually navigate. Do you have a clear picture of where your business sits today across revenue, profit, team, marketing, and systems? Do you know where you want it to go over the next 90 days, 12 months, and three years? And do you have a plan you follow when you get off course? If you tend to move the destination every time the road gets difficult, this episode is for you.Visit https://workshop.blueprintos.com to register for the upcoming Above The Business workshop.Thanks to our sponsorsCoach P ConsultingCoach P found great success as an insurance agent and agency owner, leading a large and stable team of top-performing professionals.

Some shows carefully plan every segment.This is not one of those shows.Today's daily comedy show starts with Woody back in St. Louis as the gang relives nearly setting Captain Jim's entire fireworks inventory on fire, accidentally launching explosives toward a trailer packed with even more explosives, and wondering how they somehow got invited back every year.Naturally, that turns into an all-out war over weather apps because apparently your choice between Apple Weather, Google Maps, Waze, and The Weather Channel says everything about your personality. Somewhere during the argument Riz admits he's gaming Waze just to earn imaginary points, Woody questions humanity, and Moon becomes Bing's official spokesperson.Then things somehow get even weirder.The crew debates home ownership versus renting, subscription services invading literally everything, catalytic converter thefts, why landlords secretly deserve medals, and whether calling your landlord to change a light bulb should be considered a crime.From there, the conversation completely derails into horrifying toothbrush habits. Seriously...if your toothbrush looks like it fought in several wars, Lern wants you to know she's apparently one of those people. Dentists everywhere may need a moment after this episode.The laughs keep rolling as Woody shares restaurant recommendations from Pittsburgh, everyone debates St. Louis food loyalties, Rafe discovers Corner 17, and the gang somehow lands on one of the most important questions ever asked:Which restaurant logo would you permanently tattoo on your body for free food for life?There's also plenty of classic Rizz Show chaos involving stolen weather stations, neighborhood conspiracy theories, terrible station vehicles, Emos debates, Joya's love, In-N-Out slander, Shake Shack arguments, and enough sarcastic roasting to remind you exactly why hanging out with these idiots somehow feels like hanging out with your own friends.If you like ridiculous conversations that start somewhere sensible before immediately driving off the nearest cliff, this daily comedy show delivers exactly what you'd expect—and several things you definitely wouldn't.Whether you're listening during your commute, pretending to work, or hiding from your own responsibilities, thanks for making The Rizzuto Show part of your day.And remember...Never trust someone whose toothbrush looks like a frightened peacock.This daily comedy show proudly serves sarcasm, questionable opinions, and absolutely zero meteorological expertise.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rafe's AC struggles—and every company advertising "24/7 emergency service" suddenly has very different ideas about what "24/7" actually means. After hours of phone calls, troubleshooting that mostly consisted of standing around with hands on hips pretending to understand electrical panels, and enough thermostat resets to qualify for an engineering degree, the crew wonders if homeowner subscriptions have officially replaced common sense.Along the way, the gang debates the universal husband instinct of staring at broken appliances until they magically repair themselves, why every emergency service somehow funnels through the same call center, and whether Sherry deserves a raise for patiently answering everyone's increasingly desperate phone calls.Then things take a sharp turn into one of the greatest local stories imaginable.A KFC employee in North County decides company policy can wait after tackling an armed robbery suspect in the parking lot. The crew immediately begins casting Jason Statham as an ex-government operative secretly working the drive-thru window in what instantly becomes the greatest action movie Hollywood still hasn't made.As if that wasn't enough, Lern introduces everyone to a surprisingly emotional Netflix movie that sends the conversation spiraling into the slow death of voicemail culture, while the crew debates which everyday things will disappear as older generations fade out. Landlines? VHS tapes? Random messages that somehow sat in your inbox for three years? Nothing is safe.The crew also tackles one listener's parenting dilemma involving an absolutely terrible kid who has officially worn out his welcome, leading to stories about getting banned from friends' houses growing up, terrifying 90s parents, and why sometimes being the parent means embracing the villain role.Throw in weather panic, broken thermostats, neighborhood legends, retirement community shenanigans, bizarre Florida news, homeowner frustration, nostalgic childhood stories, and enough sarcastic commentary to survive even the hottest week of the year, and you've got another unforgettable episode.Whether you're listening on your morning commute, pretending to work, hiding from your broken AC, or simply looking for your favorite daily comedy show, this episode delivers the laughs, ridiculous conversations, and unexpected tangents you've come to expect.Woody back in St. Louis as the gang relives nearly setting Captain Jim's entire fireworks inventory on fire, accidentally launching explosives toward a trailer packed with even more explosives, and wondering how they somehow got invited back every year.Naturally, that turns into an all-out war over weather apps because apparently your choice between Apple Weather, Google Maps, Waze, and The Weather Channel says everything about your personality.

George fans, Paul fans, John fans...and poor Ringo once again catching strays.Then it's straight into celebrity chaos.Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding rumors explode after reports of a mysterious Madison Square Garden event, and somehow this turns into an actual gambling pool inside the studio. Is it the wedding? A rehearsal? A giant distraction? Nobody knows—but several people may owe each other money after Fourth of July weekend.Meanwhile, Kirk Hammett has entered what can only be described as his "Sassy Kirk Era," taking shots at modern pop music while somehow becoming everyone's favorite unexpected media personality. The crew fully embraces the new attitude.Chris Kerber joins the show for an extended Blues conversation covering the Jordan Kyrou trade, the Tkachuk family's incredible week, NHL Draft speculation, Jordan Binnington rumors, Curtis Joseph's Hall of Fame case, and where the franchise goes next.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.KFC manager robbed at gunpoint, employee tackles suspectSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A listener found something. A neighbor of Nancy Guthrie's reportedly runs a YouTube channel showcasing a high-end vault packed with rare gems and minerals — and according to Google Maps, the two properties share the same pin. That's not a conspiracy theory. That's a detail that deserves an answer.For months, the audience has been circling a specific question: were the people who allegedly entered Nancy's home at 2 a.m. actually there for the house next door? Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI behavioral analyst with decades in counterintelligence, sits down to work through it. He looks at what wrong-target home invasions actually look like operationally — whether the level of preparation evident here is consistent with a mistaken address, and what the 45-minute timeline inside the house tells him about intent.The details are hard to dismiss. A masked suspect killed the doorbell camera. The back doors were propped open. Blood was on the front porch. That level of coordination points to planning — but planning for what, and for whom, is exactly the question.And if the wrong-house theory doesn't hold, listeners want to know what does. The ransom communications, a blockchain firm's crypto classification, and the continued silence from law enforcement all come under the microscope. Dreeke addresses it directly, the way an FBI analyst would — without flinching and without filling gaps with guesswork.This is the audience's case as much as anyone's, and this episode is their answers.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three cases the audience has been living inside. The questions they've been asking for months. One conversation where Robin Dreeke, retired FBI behavioral analyst, answers every one of them.Nancy Guthrie has been missing for five months. A listener flagged a neighbor with a walk-in gem vault and a Google Maps pin that reportedly overlaps with Nancy's property. The wrong-house theory hasn't been publicly addressed by law enforcement. The masked suspect was inside the house for forty-five minutes with the camera disabled and the back doors propped open. Robin examines what that timeline and that preparation tell us about whether the target was Nancy — or someone else entirely.Rex Heuermann pleaded guilty to eight murders. His ex-wife gutted the room where he confessed to killing seven women, redecorated it, and sleeps there. She told cameras it's spiritual. She's visited Rex twelve times since his confession. The Ellerup family reportedly collected seven figures from a documentary. Robin addresses the behavioral meaning of that kind of proximity and the legal gap that made the payout possible.Mackenzie Shirilla and her mother built a coded language to beat prison call monitoring. Prosecutors cracked it. Steve lost his teaching job. Natalie called the Russos evil. Mackenzie worried about her stuff. Robin addresses who is actually running this family's defense and whether Mackenzie can ever reach accountability with these parents in the picture.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The masked suspect who allegedly took Nancy Guthrie from her Catalina Foothills home was inside for nearly forty-five minutes. The doorbell camera was disabled. Two back doors were propped open. Blood was found on the front porch. Whatever happened during that window is the center of this case — and five months later, law enforcement has not explained what filled that time.Listeners brought their own theories. The loudest: a neighbor of Nancy's runs a YouTube channel featuring a walk-in vault full of rare gems and minerals, and Google Maps reportedly pins both properties at the same address. The question is whether the people who showed up at Nancy's door at two in the morning were looking for that vault and ended up with the wrong house — and the wrong woman.Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and former chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, joins Tony Brueski to answer the questions the audience has been asking for months. He walks through the behavioral profile of a wrong-target operation, the forty-five-minute timeline, and what a blockchain firm's classification of this case as a crypto-targeted physical attack means for every theory on the table. The listeners asked. Robin answers.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The audience brought the questions. Robin Dreeke brought thirty years of FBI behavioral analysis. This is the conversation where those two things meet.Nancy Guthrie: a listener found a neighbor with a high-value gem vault — and Google Maps reportedly pins both properties at the same address. Five months after Nancy was allegedly abducted, the wrong-house theory is the loudest question the audience is asking. Robin walks through the behavioral profile of a mistaken-target operation and whether the forty-five-minute timeline inside the house supports it.Rex Heuermann: Asa Ellerup gutted the basement where Rex admitted to killing seven women. She redecorated it and moved in. She's visited him in jail twelve times since his confession. The family reportedly received seven figures from a Peacock documentary. The Son of Sam law doesn't cover family members. Robin examines what this kind of loyalty signals and where the behavioral line between denial and complicity gets tested.Mackenzie Shirilla: prosecutors decoded a private coded language that Mackenzie and her mother Natalie created to communicate on monitored prison lines. Steve Shirilla lost his teaching job after the Netflix documentary. Natalie called the Russo family evil on a recorded line. Robin addresses what the documented behavior tells us about who is actually directing the Shirilla defense — and whether Mackenzie can ever face accountability with this family around her.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Listener-driven. Evidence-grounded. Three cases the audience won't let go of — and the questions that cut through the noise.On Nancy Guthrie, the audience found something investigators haven't addressed: a neighbor with a vault full of gems and minerals, and a Google Maps pin that overlaps with Nancy's home. The wrong-house theory has been circulating for months. Robin Dreeke, retired FBI behavioral analyst, examines what a mistaken-target home invasion actually looks like and whether forty-five minutes inside the house fits that profile.On Rex Heuermann, Asa Ellerup told documentary cameras she moved into the basement room where Rex confessed to killing seven women — and that it's spiritual. She's visited him in jail a dozen times since his confession. The family reportedly took seven figures from Peacock. Robin addresses what the behavioral record tells us about loyalty, denial, and the gap in New York's Son of Sam law that made the payout legal.On Mackenzie Shirilla, prosecutors decoded a private language Mackenzie and Natalie created to evade prison monitoring. Steve lost his job after Netflix. Natalie called the Russo family evil. Mackenzie's first concern from jail was her belongings. Robin examines what the parent-child dynamic tells us about who built Mackenzie — and who's still running the show from the outside.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The audience went looking for answers in the Nancy Guthrie case. They found something law enforcement hasn't publicly addressed. A neighbor of Nancy's in the Catalina Foothills reportedly runs a YouTube channel showing a walk-in vault stocked with high-value gems and minerals. Google Maps pins both properties at the same location. Five months after Nancy's alleged abduction, the audience wants to know: did they go to the wrong house?Robin Dreeke spent decades analyzing behavior for the FBI's counterintelligence division. He joins Tony Brueski to walk through the listener questions that cut deepest — from the forty-five minutes the masked suspect spent inside Nancy's home, to the operational preparation that went into disabling the camera and propping open the back doors, to whether all of it points toward a plan that collapsed when the target turned out to be an eighty-four-year-old woman instead of a vault full of minerals.The conversation also addresses the CertiK designation — a two-billion-dollar blockchain security company classifying this case as a crypto wrench attack — and what it means for the ransom demands, the motive theories, and the investigation's direction.

Venice had a bad reputation, at least that's what we had heard. For years we'd heard it was overcrowded, overpriced, and honestly not worth the hassle. So when we added it to the end of our month-long Italy trip, it got the least planning of any stop on our itinerary. That became obvious the moment our taxi driver dropped us off at the edge of the city, unloaded our bags, and pointed toward the water. No cars. No motorcycles. No bikes. Just boats and your own two feet and two unprepared travelers who had no idea what they'd gotten themselves into. What followed was a crash course in how Venice works. And the city we were honestly not looking forward to ended up being one of the biggest surprises of the entire trip. In this episode we're sharing what we learned, what we wish we'd known before we arrived, and why Venice completely changed our minds. Some links are affiliate links. See our disclosure. Here's exactly how to find our recommended Gondolier, Matthew. You can also use Google Maps to locate Hutte (pizza) and then right across the bridge you'll find the gondolier station. You can wait on the bench until one comes by (rides until 8:30 pm - in May anyway). Find all our Italy Guides & Resources Here Come with us on Safari in Kenya in June 2027.

New York City hotels, while expensive, often are much smaller and simpler than travelers expect. While you won't spend much time in your hotel, it's important to understand what your room and hotel experience will entail in NYC.In this episode, we'll cover:Average hotel pricesTaxes & fees to be aware ofRoom size & what to expect for (the lack of) amenitiesThe Airbnb situationPro tips to maximize your NYC hotel experience1. The Price of a Bed in NYCAverage Range: $250–$400 depending on neighborhood (Times Square = highest)Budget [think hostel-style] ($115 +) vs. mid-range ($225+) vs. luxury ($500+++)Weekdays (cheaper) vs. weekends, and seasonal swings matter (Jan & Feb are often the cheapest time)2. Taxes & Fees: The Hidden CostBase rate is never what you pay — 14.75% in combined state/city taxes + $3.50/night flat feesReal-world example: one traveler's fees came to 29% of their room costEven the fees get taxed on top of each otherPro tip: always check the total before booking, not just the nightly rateSome hotels add in resort fees, mandatory daily fees for food/drink, etc.3. Room Size & What to ExpectNYC rooms average ~300 sq ft — and that includes the bathroom and closetsMicro-hotels can go as small as 60 sq ftElevator overload is real — older buildings, high occupancy, long waitsWhat you won't find: microwaves, pools, hot tubs (rare exceptions exist), very small mini fridges (or none at all)4. The Airbnb SituationLocal Law 18 (Sept 2023) essentially banned short-term rentals — listings dropped from 22,000 to under 7,000 overnightSide effect: hotel prices went up ~6–7% as a resultVisitors coming from other cities expecting Airbnb as a budget option will be caught off guard5. Tips for Doing It RightBag storage: hotels will hold your luggage for free, tip the porterSkip hotel breakfast — go get a bagel or hit a dinerPools and hot tubs exist but are the exception, not the ruleBook at least a month out for better pricingYou'll Have to Check It Out - Pig and KhaoAt Pig and Khao on the Upper West Side, their head chef Leah Cohen pays homage to her Filipino upbringing with a variety of Southeast Asian dishes and flavors.The portions, as part of their family-style meal, are MASSIVE. And the vibes are laid-back, perfect.

Photo by Gabriel Meinert on Unsplash Published 22 June 2026 e558 with Michael M and Andy – slowing things down with games where you walk, fly, sail, throw bananas and play ball, along with 3D printing innovation, a new flip phone from Commodore and a whole lot more! Michael M and Andy get things started while Michael R is away with cornucopia of games. First up is StonkRider, which bills itself as “motocross meets wall street” where you ride a motorcycle up and down a stock ticker.  Then, from the makers of Untitled Goose Game, is a new title called Big Walk, where, as the title suggests, you go out for an unstructured walk.  This harkens back nicely to the discussion between Ian and Andy in last week's episode.  And it reminds Michael of a story he saw recently about Google's take on Flight Simulator using Google Maps.  Next, the pair discuss TinyWind, a pixel pirate sailing game, where you might charter an accountant and sail the wild accountancy.  Then, an even more retro game appears – Gorilla.JS.  This DOS game has gorillas throwing exploding bananas at one another from across a cityscape where you can choose the angle and force to throw.  Both cohosts promptly thew their bananas with such little force that it went up in the air and exploded on their own gorilla.   Batter up!  Andy and Michael's next set of topics take them to America's pastime, and the adjacent sport of cricket.  After checking out the game visualization of Ribbie, the pair get into a discussion on what 8-Bit really means.  Michael remembers the SmallBall game, and was disappointed to learn that this game is no longer maintained.  On the other hand, he is happy about his university playing in the College World Series.  Baseball and cricket really lend themselves well to games because of all of the stats that are kept about each player and the games themselves.  Andy shared the story of the Wisden Cricketers Almanack which chronicles enormous details in it's 1,500 pages! After turning to innovations in 3D printing and visionOS collaboration, the cohosts consider the slow tech movement using the example of the new Commodore Callback flip phone.  This phone features the promoted ability to run 99% of Android apps while completely blocking social media and browsers.   Andy and Michael wrap things up with a new LEGO Ideas set – a playable LEGO space themed pinball machine.   Links to all of the fun are below – check them out!   What do you think the Commodore Callback model number 8020 means?  Have your bots

Visuals: https://getbehindthebillboard.com/episode-111-btb-x-woo-conference-part-2 Recorded live at the WOO Congress 2026 in London just a fortnight ago, this is the second of our special Behind the Billboard episodes - and this time we're on the Global OOH, Innovation & Creativity track. Hugh and Dan….. Well…. Mainly Dan as Hugh had run away to catch a train…. grab short, sharp conversations with a stellar line-up of out-of-home leaders from around the world: Elizabeth McIntyre, CEO of OMA Australia; Ben Milne, CEO APAC at Billups; Nick Bell, UK MD at Billups; Jaime Byrdak, CEO North America at Billups; Jay Young, MD of Grand Visual; Sarah Parkes, Managing Partner, International at Talon; Danielle Austin of Evolve OOH; James Harrison from MPN part of Dubai Holdings; and Simon Wall, CEO of Glynt Group in South Africa. Phew… what a list… what a monster session. Across the episode we explore where OOH is heading now: smarter creative, better data, creative mapping, AI, sustainable infrastructure, mobile media, and the enduring power of a brilliantly simple poster in the right place. There are stories behind work for Google Maps, RNLI's Float To Live, Nike Running and the NYC Marathon, Selleys, Jolt, Out There, Ad Free Zones, IFS.ai and Tractor Media's school-powering billboards. It's a fast-moving global tour of the medium we love: from Australia to Dubai, South Africa to North America, and back to the streets of London. Along the way, our guests pick their favourite billboards, share what excites them about the future, and remind us that when out-of-home is at its best, it's public, useful, unmissable and impossible to ignore. In true Behind the Billboard style, there are a few rabbit holes, plenty of billboard nerdery, and a healthy amount of love for the people pushing the medium forward. Thanks to WOO for having us, to all our brilliant guests for giving up their time in the middle of congress chaos, and to everyone who still believes the humble billboard has plenty of magic left in it. Thanks again to our usual suspects and supporters, and for this one especially the team at WOO.

Das Landesarbeitsgericht Hamm hat einem Produktionsmitarbeiter 15.000 € Geldentschädigung wegen unzulässiger Videoüberwachung im Betrieb zugesprochen (LAG Hamm, Urteil vom 28.05.2025 – 18 SLa 959/24). Die Arbeitgeberin hatte in ihrer nicht öffentlich zugänglichen Produktionshalle, im Lager und in den Büroräumen insgesamt 34 Kameras installiert, die nahezu die gesamte Arbeitsfläche in HD-Qualität rund um die Uhr erfassten (LAG Hamm, Urteil vom 28.05.2025 – 18 SLa 959/24). Der Kläger wurde über einen Zeitraum von 22 Monaten während seiner täglichen Arbeit faktisch dauerhaft überwacht; Rückzugsmöglichkeiten innerhalb der Halle gab es nicht, und die Bilder konnten auch „live“ eingesehen werden (LAG Hamm, Urteil vom 28.05.2025 – 18 SLa 959/24). Die vom Arbeitgeber angeführten Zwecke – Diebstahls- und Vandalismusprävention, Arbeitssicherheit, Auswertung von Unfällen, Kontrolle von Maschinenausfällen und Nachweis der ordnungsgemäßen Verladung – genügten dem Gericht weder in der Konkretisierung noch in der Verhältnismäßigkeit, zumal mildere Mittel zur Verfügung standen (LAG Hamm, Urteil vom 28.05.2025 – 18 SLa 959/24). Auch eine Klausel im Arbeitsvertrag zur Datenverarbeitung wertete das LAG nicht als wirksame, freiwillige Einwilligung in eine derart umfassende Mitarbeiterüberwachung (LAG Hamm, Urteil vom 28.05.2025 – 18 SLa 959/24). Aufgrund der Dauer, Intensität und Fortführung der Überwachung trotz ausdrücklichen Widerspruchs des Arbeitnehmers erkannte das Gericht einen besonders schweren Eingriff in das allgemeine Persönlichkeitsrecht und damit einen Anspruch auf Geldentschädigung nach §§ 241 Abs. 2, 280 Abs. 1, 823 Abs. 1, 253 Abs. 2 BGB an (LAG Hamm, Urteil vom 28.05.2025 – 18 SLa 959/24). Der Unterlassungsanspruch scheiterte allein daran, dass das Arbeitsverhältnis bereits beendet war und daher keine Wiederholungsgefahr mehr bestand (LAG Hamm, Urteil vom 28.05.2025 – 18 SLa 959/24).ähnliche Podcastfolgen:1.

Eine Regenwalddusche, die einen eiskalt erwischt. Eine Bettdecke, die wie festgenagelt ist. Und ein Architekt, bei dem es so scheint, als ob er eine Kirche auf LSD gebaut hat. Das alles passt in diese Folge. Jochen bringt euch außerdem Elbow mit, eine Band, die klingt wie Gemälde, und die man beim Reisen hören sollte. Dann geht's nach Barcelona, zur Sagrada Família, die der Papst gerade besucht hat. Eines der schönsten religiösen Bauwerke der Welt, das seit 100 Jahren nicht fertig wird. Und irgendwann kippt das Ganze komplett in Richtung, sagen wir mal, “Hotel-Hölle”: Schreibtischlampen ohne Ausschalter, Glaswände ins Bad, Seife, die die Hautflora killt. Ja, wir steigern uns tatsächlich ein wenig rein in dieses Thema.

Jeremy Packee and Emily Anderson break down the biggest paid media story of the year so far: Google Marketing Live 2026. The episode explores Google's vision for an AI-powered future, including major updates to AI Mode, AI Max, Demand Gen, Merchant Center, measurement, creative workflows, and agentic commerce. The hosts discuss how search is becoming more conversational, why first-party data is increasingly critical, and what Google's new tools mean for advertisers managing both e-commerce and lead generation campaigns. They also examine emerging features like Universal Cart, AI-powered shopping experiences, predictive conversion modeling, and Google's growing use of AI assistants across its advertising ecosystem. As automation continues to expand, Jeremy and Emily focus on the practical implications for marketers, separating platform promises from real-world application and highlighting where human strategy still matters most. Episode Highlights Biggest Shift Google is transforming search from a keyword-driven experience into an AI-powered conversation, creating new opportunities—and new challenges—for advertisers trying to maintain visibility and control. Most Interesting Announcement Universal Cart and the Universal Commerce Protocol could allow users to discover, evaluate, and purchase products directly within Google experiences without ever visiting a website. Biggest Opportunity Merchant Center is evolving into a strategic AI input layer. Advertisers with clean product feeds, rich attributes, lifestyle imagery, and strong first-party data may gain a significant advantage in AI-powered shopping experiences. Measurement Upgrade Google introduced predictive conversion metrics designed to connect upper-funnel activity, branded searches, video views, and site engagement to future conversion value beyond traditional attribution windows. Tool Worth Testing Ask Advisor continues expanding across Google Ads, Analytics, Merchant Center, and other platforms, helping marketers surface insights and troubleshoot issues more efficiently. Other Platform Updates • AI Mode continues expanding as Google's preferred search experience • AI Max is becoming more prominent within Search campaigns and broad match targeting • Demand Gen is receiving new attribution, testing, and measurement capabilities • Google is introducing AI-powered lead qualification directly within search ads • AI Brief provides advertisers with a way to guide AI-generated creative using brand instructions and campaign goals • Asset Studio adds expanded video generation and one-click creative testing workflows • Product feeds are expanding into additional surfaces, including paused YouTube ads and Google Maps placements • Creator partnership content can now be boosted more easily through Demand Gen campaigns • Google is emphasizing first-party data, modeled measurement, and causality testing as core inputs for AI-powered optimization Final Take Google's vision is clear: more automation, more AI, more conversational experiences, and more commerce happening directly inside Google's ecosystem. The challenge for marketers isn't whether to adopt these tools—it's understanding where they create real value, where they still require human oversight, and how to maintain control over data, measurement, and business outcomes as advertising becomes increasingly AI-driven.

Signs of Life - Medium Insights with Host Roman Karpishka Mediumship, Forensic Astrology, and the Many Ways Spirit Communicates Guest: #FFFCertifiedMedium Dave Campbell Dave has more than twenty years of experience as a medium and astrologer. He wrote the book 'Forensic Astrology: Solving Crimes with Astrology,' and is also a contributing author of the book 'Find Me', which is about the group of psychics, mediums, astrologers, and law enforcement canine search and rescue that is dedicated to assisting families and the police in finding missing people. Roman Karpishka Opens Signs of Life: Medium Insights In this episode of Signs of Life: Medium Insights, host Roman Karpishka welcomes listeners to the Forever Family Foundation broadcast exploring survival of consciousness, spirituality, mediumship, and the afterlife. Roman introduces guest Dave Campbell, a professional psychic medium and astrologer with more than 20 years of experience. Dave is described as a specialist in forensic astrology, a contributor to the book Find Me, and someone who has worked with families and law enforcement-related groups to help locate missing people, profile cases, and interpret information through astrology and psychic perception. Symbols, Names, and Spirit Communication Roman begins by asking Dave about symbolism and how symbols speak to him during readings. Dave explains that spirit often communicates through images, names, songs, characters, or unusual symbols, and that he does not always know whether something is literal or figurative until the client confirms it. He gives examples of receiving cartoon references like Fred Flintstone, Velma from Scooby-Doo, Tabitha from Bewitched, and Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz to identify names or personal connections. He also shares a memorable example of hearing the song “Love Shack” during a group reading, which turned out to be a meaningful private reference for a man whose girlfriend had passed. Helping Clients Relax Before Readings The conversation moves into how clients often feel nervous or apprehensive before a psychic or medium reading. Dave says almost everyone is nervous at first, and he tries to calm them by talking with them and explaining that nothing scary will happen. He says nervous energy can affect him as well, so helping clients relax is important for the reading itself. Roman and Dave frame the process as one that requires openness, calm, and trust rather than fear or forced expectation. Forensic Astrology and Missing-Person Cases Dave then discusses his work with a group that assists in missing-person and law-enforcement-related cases. He says the group includes psychics, mediums, astrologers, and other intuitive practitioners, and that cases generally come through the group rather than directly through him. Dave explains that they will not take a case unless law enforcement is willing to receive the information, because otherwise the work may not be used. He describes how some cases take years to receive feedback, and how the group later compares results against known information to evaluate accuracy. Remote Work, On-Location Impressions, and Case Examples Dave explains that most of the group's work is done remotely, but sometimes small teams go on location when assigned. He says being physically present at a location can intensify the connection because the raw energy of the place is stronger. He shares one example of following a road on Google Maps and identifying where a missing man would be found after his vehicle went off a cliff. He also mentions a murder case in which he visited the victim's home, received impressions of the perpetrator, and later saw those impressions validated when the suspect was caught and convicted, though he avoids naming the case because of legal sensitivity. Mediumship Evidence and Unusual Validations Roman asks Dave about mind-blowing experiences from his mediumship practice. Dave describes a reading for a mother and daughter in which the deceased father brought through the image of an octopus. Although Dave thought it sounded unlikely, the women had specifically agreed that if he mentioned an octopus, they would know the reading was real. Dave says such unusual validations are meaningful because they are too specific to be guessed easily. He also explains that animals can appear in readings and may communicate much like people do, whether dogs, cats, horses, turtles, or other pets. The Afterlife, Heaven, and the Moment of Death The conversation turns to what Dave has perceived about the afterlife. He says departed loved ones often describe themselves as being in heaven, though the details vary because each person's experience of the other side may be different. Some may show mountains, landscapes, space-like imagery, or places that resemble what they loved while alive. Dave also says he does not believe people experience pain at the moment of death once they are out of the body. He describes accounts in which people observe their bodies being worked on after an accident without feeling physical pain, and he says the transition is generally associated with peace, love, light, and spiritual release. Astrology, Destiny, Free Will, and Life Plans Roman and Dave also discuss astrology, destiny, and free will. Dave says his view has changed over time, and he now believes much of life is pre-planned, with free will influencing how people respond to the plan. He describes an astrology chart as a kind of map a person comes in with, showing major life themes, people, career paths, lessons, and opportunities. According to Dave, if something is not in the chart, it is not likely to happen, but individuals still have choice in how they engage with what appears. The conversation also touches on reincarnation, soul lessons, and the possibility that difficult experiences may need to be faced again if they are not worked through. Violence, Disclosure, Aliens, and the State of the World Roman asks Dave whether the world is more violent than it used to be, and Dave says he believes people may simply hear about violence more because of instant news and social media. They also discuss astrology's connection to major historical cycles, including planetary alignments Dave connects with revolutionary periods. The conversation briefly moves into extraterrestrial life, with Dave saying he believes intelligent life exists elsewhere and that contact has likely already happened in some way. Roman and Dave discuss government disclosures, media manipulation, skepticism, intuition, and the need for discernment when interpreting public events. Caller Melanie, Grief, Charts, and Soul Lessons A caller named Melanie from Nevada joins the show and offers a reflection on timelessness, comparing it to flow states such as playing music and losing track of time. She asks Dave about choosing astrological reports, and he recommends starting with a natal chart if someone has never had their chart interpreted before. Melanie also discusses soul contracts, the death of her daughter, grief, choice points, suicide, and the possibility that souls may face lessons again if they leave before completing them. Dave agrees that suicide is overly stigmatized and says he has not seen evidence that people who die by suicide are condemned to hell or eternal darkness. He encourages a more compassionate understanding while still acknowledging that unresolved lessons may continue. Boundaries, Ethics, and Closing Reflections Near the end, Roman asks Dave whether he has ever refused to give someone a reading. Dave says he has, especially when someone is in such severe grief that they need counseling first, or when a person comes in only to challenge or test him rather than receive healing or evidence. He emphasizes that mediumship can support grief, but it does not replace counseling. Dave closes by telling listeners they can find him through The Astrology Store in Glendale, Arizona, where he offers medium readings, natal chart readings, forecasts, relationship readings, compatibility work, relocation readings, and group events. Roman thanks Dave, the caller, and the listeners, and signs off until the next second-Thursday broadcast.

This week on The Geoholics, we're going underground — literally — with Itzik Malka, CEO and Co-Founder of 4M Analytics, a company helping redefine how surveyors, engineers, designers, and contractors understand the hidden world beneath our feet. If 4M is the “Google Maps of the underground,” then this conversation is all about why that matters. Kent, Peta, and the crew dig into how 4M is using AI, satellite imagery, utility records, and digital intelligence to turn scattered underground utility data into actionable insights before crews ever step foot on site. From avoiding those dreaded “oh sh*t” utility conflict moments to improving safety, reducing risk, saving money, and helping teams make smarter decisions earlier in the project lifecycle, this one hits right at the intersection of technology, field reality, and the future of infrastructure delivery. Itzik brings a global perspective, a founder's mindset, and a passion for solving one of the industry's most expensive and dangerous problems: not knowing what's underground until it's too late. Born in Israel and now leading 4M as CEO and Co-Founder, Itzik also shares a little about life beyond the platform — soccer, music, family, and the entrepreneurial drive behind building something that could change how the entire industry plans, designs, and builds. We also talk about how tools like 4M can work alongside traditional SUE, survey, CAD, GIS, drones, and scanning workflows — not as a replacement for boots on the ground, but as a way to elevate decision-making, reduce surprises, and help teams show up smarter. Bottom line: The cheapest utility you'll ever locate is the one you never hit. Dig smart, not sorry. Music by Cooper Alan!

Gavin landed back in Australia just the day before recording, and he and Ken settle in for a full debrief on WDC 2026 in Athens. From the venues and the social activities to all four of Gavin's games and the top board, this one covers it all. Intro Ken sets up the episode – this one is going to be almost entirely about WDC 2026 Athens, because Gavin was there and has only just landed back in Australia (as at the time of recording) (15 secs) He notes the DBN coverage gave a strong account of the boards and Ed's player interviews, but plenty of the magic from Spyros Dovas and his organising team didn't make it to the stream (45 secs) Drinks are introduced: Ken is on one of his home-brew lagers with a kick, and Gavin is working through a leftover Sicilian Nero d'Avola that has turned a little sour – a fitting metaphor, he suggests, for how his first round went (1 min 45 secs) The tournament in aggregate Ken asks Gavin to give a broad overview – location, numbers, facilities, atmosphere (2 mins 45 secs) Around 106 players registered, though some didn't show due to last-minute issues. Approximately 5 Australian players couldn't attend because their original flights were routed through the Middle East (3 mins 30 secs) The geopolitical context: as of recording, the Middle East airspace situation was in week nine of its shutdown, forcing Australian travellers to reroute via Singapore, Hong Kong, or Malaysia. Some also baulked at the US transit option due to the documentation requirements (4 mins 30 secs) Despite the drop-outs, the turnout was excellent and genuinely representative – a heavy European component split between the UK and the rest of Europe, a strong French contingent, players from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Poland, and Norway, a good number of Americans and a couple of Canadians (including Chris Brand), around 10 Australians, and a couple of Kiwis (Dominick Stephens and Craig Purcell). The local Greek contingent, given the Athens club had only been running for about 18 months, was especially impressive (3 mins 30 secs) Tournament format: three regular rounds followed by a fourth round of tiered top boards. Rather than a single top board, the format featured seven simultaneous top boards – the top 7 players went to the premier board, players 8–14 played the second tier, 15–21 the third, and so on down through the field. Crucially, players who volunteered to sit out for round four to help with numbers kept their ranking position (7 mins) Ken and Gavin discuss how the tiered format means the fourth round is never a dead rubber – every board is still competing for something meaningful (8 mins 15 secs) Discussion of the central clock arrangement: effectively federation-based rather than a literal single clock, with the two main venues coordinating their start times by communication (9 mins 30 secs) The venues The main venue was the upstairs function space of a beachside restaurant operation – excellent location right on the waterfront, but somewhat cramped for negotiations once all the boards were in (9 mins 45 secs) As a result, boards were redistributed to the secondary venue: the Anchor bar, about 150–200 metres down the road. Gavin played two games in each location and considered the Anchor the better play space – more open, well ventilated, and with a large covered outdoor area next to a (drained) pool (11 mins) The colour-coded sash system made it easy to identify players by country but created the amusing challenge of locating your specific Italy in a room full of Italys from different boards (13 mins) The third venue – an outdoor shaded area – was reserved for the premier top board. Unlike Milan's car park, this one had good shade and plenty of room for spectators around the giant shadow board (13 mins 30 secs) Pre-tournament social activities Gavin outlines the structure: you could do as much or as little as you liked. He landed well due to a useful 5.5-hour Singapore layover that helped reset his body clock, and flew over on the same flight as tournament director Jamal Blakkarly (16 mins) They were met at Athens airport by Spyros, his wife, and daughter, who drove them to breakfast at a beautiful harbour-side restaurant in one of the small inlet bays east of Piraeus (18 mins 15 secs) Pre-tournament island stay: Gavin spent two days on Serifos, the island Spyros recommended and which has personal significance to his family (his grandfather was christened there). Spyros provided a detailed Google Map of the best spots. With the tourist season barely starting, Gavin got excellent last-minute accommodation at a family-run hotel and had the beaches almost entirely to himself (18 mins 45 secs) The island was so off-season that locals were literally still painting their furniture and kerbs in preparation. Gavin did the recommended hikes and swims, and the hotel gifted him a dry-bag left behind by a previous guest (20 mins 30 secs) Back in Athens overnight, Gavin caught up with a multinational squad of players including Shane, Brandon, Max, Zoe, Justin Law, Bradley Grace, and Karthik. They had dinner at an Italian restaurant with the Acropolis lit up above them (22 mins 30 secs) Hydra day trip (Wednesday): players caught the fast ferry from Piraeus out to Hydra (about 1.5 hrs). The island has a refined Venetian-Greek port feel, with rustic paths and rock beaches beyond. The group visited the Museum of the 1821 Greek Revolution, full of local history and artefacts. Gavin wore one of his Diplomacy shirts and ended up being an ambassador for the hobby to an American grandmother and her debate-champion granddaughter from North Carolina – and pointed them towards David Hood and the local hobby there (24 mins 15 secs) The water temperature at the beach was about 4–5 degrees colder than Australia, which meant the Europeans loved it and Gavin did not go in (26 mins 30 secs) Acropolis and Athens tour (Thursday): guided tour of the Acropolis by what Spyros described as the best guides operating there, followed by a walk through the Plaka and past the Panathenaic Stadium (venue of the first modern Olympics in 1896), then a seafood lunch at a beautiful harbourside restaurant (30 mins) Temple of Poseidon (Thursday evening): the most popular activity – the bus was packed. About halfway there, Spyros took everyone on an unannounced detour to a beach bar where they had the place to themselves, a wonderful surprise. The Temple itself sits on a peninsula with 270-degree sea views. Spyros told the story of how the Aegean got its name from that location, and a huge group photo was taken (31 mins 15 secs) Tournament production values Gavin describes the production as setting new high-water marks for tournament organisation – high enough that the Chicago 2027 organising team would be wondering how to match it. Every player had a colour-coded sash matching their country, a branded WDC Athens notepad in their country colour, and a matching pen for every round (33 mins) The awards were 3D-printed Greek god statues for the podium finishers, complemented by a full suite of themed awards for the top players in each country and for notable gameplay (34 min) Special awards included: the Ajax Award for 8th place overall (the brilliant fighter who just missed out); the Archimedes Award for the most innovative play; the Leonidas Award for the player who fought on against insurmountable odds; and professionally screen-printed awards for best performance as each of the seven Great Powers (35 mins 45 secs) Gavin's games Round 1 – France – Board: Agkystri (View game) Gavin introduces his first game and the board composition: he played France, with Danae Stamataki (Austria-Hungary, local Greek player who topped the board on 10 supply centres and won best Austria), Sabrina Ahuja "Sabi" as England, Brian Ecton as Germany, Jean-Louis Delattre as Italy, Teo Ananiadis as Russia, and Frank Oosterom from the Netherlands as Turkey (37 mins 15 secs) The plan was a Western Triple working with England and Germany, with the goal of neutralising a strong-looking Italy early. It didn't come together as intended (37 mins 45 secs) The infamous mis-order: Gavin had two builds and intended fleet Brest plus a second build. Instead he built fleet Brest and placed the build directly in MAO, effectively waiving his second build. The DBN commentators interpreted this as a genius strategic waive; Ken's interpretation was somewhat more grounded. Gavin confirms Ken was correct (39 mins) The other players on the board didn't share DBN's generous reading of the situation. Germany immediately moved into Burgundy and kept flipping between fronts as his position allowed. Italy kept pressing France throughout. Gavin found himself squeezed down to a single unit in the English Channel (40 mins 30 secs) Final turn plan: England agreed to convoy an army across to Picardy to support Gavin back into Brest. Instead, Sabi walked into an open Paris. Gavin ended the game with zero supply centres and was eliminated (42 mins 15 secs) Gavin notes he made his disappointment known professionally, and that he subsequently had a drink with Sabi – but not that night (44 mins 15 secs) Round 2 – England – Board: Lemnos Not covered by DBN. Gavin played England; the board included Dominick Stephens (New Zealand) as Germany, Chris Brand (Canada) as Russia, Ruben Sanchez as Italy, Roberto Perego (Italy) as France, Robert Schuppe as Turkey, and Anastasia "Nastja" Styles as Austria-Hungary (46 mins) The plan was a Northern Alliance of England, Germany, and Russia. It unravelled immediately when Chris opened Moscow to Livonia and Dominick interpreted it as aggressive – resulting in a Germany-Russia war from the outset (46 mins 15 secs) Gavin adapted: knowing Germany was occupied in the east, he gave Russia some space and opened into Belgium, with Dominick and Chris both honouring his request to take Norway unopposed via fleet (46 mins 45 secs) Dominick and Gavin worked to grind down Roberto Perego's France, who ground out a hard-fought game staying alive on 2 centres. Ruben Sanchez's Italy played a deft game, flipping between alliances with Turkey and Austria (49 mins 15 secs) Dominick topped the board on 10; Ruben came in at 9; Gavin finished at 7. The game was meant to run to 1909 but drew earlier when the position stabilised. Gavin reflects he may have drawn too early, with both Dominick and Ruben suggesting he had room to push for another two centres (50 mins) Round 3 – Germany – Board: Symi (View game) Gavin played Germany. The board included Shane Armstrong (Australia) as France, Mikalis Kamaritis as Italy, Alex Maslow (USA) as Russia, Steven Hogue (USA) as Austria, Alex Lebedev (Russia) as England, and Jack Johns as Turkey (51 mins 15 secs) The strategic context: only Mikalis Kamaritis and Alex Lebedev were realistically in contention for the top board from this game. Shane and Gavin identified this early and committed to supporting the player they believed deserved to be there (52 mins 45 secs) Shane and Gavin opened with a Sealion against England, while Gavin also walked a careful line with Alex Lebedev, who initially felt more threatened by France than Germany. Austria was eliminated in 1903, and England in 1904 (53 mins 45 secs) A notable moment: Gavin slipped an army from the North Sea into an unoccupied London – a move he acknowledged was unnecessary, created friction with Alex Lebedev, and which he would not make again. He apologised on the day (56 mins 15 secs) Mikalis told Gavin and Shane to wait until 1905 – and delivered. He launched from his eastern position, took two dots off Russia and one off Turkey in a single year, then steamrolled from there. Alex Maslow was a strong and enjoyable player who nearly flipped the alliance but ultimately couldn't (56 mins 15 secs) The game agreed to a draw of 10-10-14 (Shane-Gavin-Mikalis), which the three felt would get Mikalis comfortably onto the top board. In the final adjudication Mikalis took one extra dot away from Shane, making the final scores 15-10-9 (58 mins 15 secs) Round 4 – Austria – Board: Myconos (View game) Gavin made it onto the fourth round, placed into the 6th top board. The board featured Shane Armstrong again as Turkey, Emmett Wainwright as England, Patrick Jacobson as France, Nathan Lester as Germany, Cameron Taylor as Italy, and Richard Bolton as Russia (59 mins 30 secs) The standout introduction: Nathan Lester, son of Dan Lester (who Gavin played against at Bangkok WDC). Same voice, same playing style, same persuasive meta-game arguments – but with a mullet and dressed like he's in an 80s rock video, and without the beard-stroking (1 hr 0 mins 45 secs) Gavin and Shane, having just played together in Round 3, ended up as Austria and Turkey respectively – not a natural alliance. Gavin didn't trust it but it held. Italy and France both kept fighting hard throughout (59 mins 45 secs) The game drew in 1906, with Shane and Emmett both finishing on 8, Gavin on 6 as Austria. Everyone then rushed across the road to watch the top board (1 hr 3 mins 45 secs) The top board Ken asks about Mikalis's diplomatic style. Gavin: exceptional situational awareness, communicates clearly and directly, asked and answered the "what do you want from this game?" question in a way that built immediate trust, and was good to his word on timing (1 hr 4 mins) Gavin arrived at the top board mid-1906 (his own game had just drawn). The top board was played outdoors under a well-shaded tree with plenty of room for negotiations, guarded by two or three people ensuring other players and passing members of the public couldn't crowd the board (1 hr 5 mins) The giant shadow board: a massive life-size replica board was set up nearby so all spectators could follow the game without approaching the real board. Andrew Goff read out the orders and the shadow board was updated after each adjudication – the same setup used at Milan WDC (1 hr 7 mins 45 secs) When Gavin arrived, he felt Bradley Grace had the game. The shift came late – Mikalis made a decisive move in the endgame that separated him from a closely matched France/Germany contest (1 hr 9 mins) Congratulations to Mikalis Kamaritis – well deserved, Gavin says. And to Bradley Grace: so close, but it will happen (1 hr 9 mins) The awards ceremony included Mikalis receiving both the championship belt and a traditional olive laurel wreath – a detail that was not captured in the DBN stream. Ken flags this as something future broadcasts should consider covering (1 hr 11 mins 15 secs) A Best Shane Cubis Award was also created – won by a Greek player who loudly lobbied Spyros for an award on the basis of how much he'd helped out. An AI-generated image of Shane Cubis in 1901 attire featured on the award, to the complete bafflement of the European and American contingents (1 hr 12 mins 50 secs) Game hobby and future WDCs The Chicago Windy City Weasels delivered a presentation promoting WDC 2027, enthusiastically received by the assembled players (1 hr 13 mins 15 secs) The 2028 bid: Melbourne was the only bid, and it was unanimously approved. Andrew Goff (Goffy) presented it. WDC 2028 Melbourne will be held at the MCG – the Melbourne Cricket Ground – with the conference rooms used for regular play, and the premier top board played on the MCG wicket itself. The countdown timer will run on the MCG scoreboard. Notionally scheduled for the last weekend of February 2028 – the weekend after the Formula One Grand Prix and the weekend before the first AFL round (1 hr 14 mins 30 secs) For international context: roughly equivalent to playing at Yankee Stadium, Madison Square Garden, the Camp Nou, or Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena. English players will recognise the MCG as where English cricket hopes traditionally come to die (1 hr 15 mins 15 secs) Also at the game hobby: a unanimous vote to amend and modernise the WDC charter, which dates from around 2000–2001 and doesn't reflect current online play, email communication, or the organisational structures of the Asia-Pacific and European hobbies. Four representatives (from NADF, the Asia-Pacific Diplomacy Association, and the European and UK hobbies) will draft amendments to be presented at WDC 2027 Chicago, with ratification at WDC 2028 Melbourne (1 hr 18 mins) Wrap up Gavin acknowledges the full organising effort: approximately 10 people working behind the scenes alongside Spyros and Jamal to make everything run. The Greek hobby and Athens Diplomacy Club can be enormously proud (1 hr 20 mins 30 secs) The Armistice Party: held between rounds three and four in the venue near the pool area. A DJ with a custom app allowed all attending players to nominate up to 10 songs each, with the crowd then voting in real time from four options for what came next. Gavin describes it as stunningly well thought through (1 hr 22 mins) Ken summarises: meticulously planned, wonderful venue, brilliant location, great games, fantastic people. Gavin: you got it in one. Thank you to Spyros, Jamal, and everyone they played with (1 hr 23 mins) Addendum – recorded one week later Ken and Gavin explain the addendum: a few things were either forgotten or lost in the original recording, so they've caught up a week later to cover them (1 hr 25 mins 45 secs) The Cane Toad The Cane Toad tournament will not run in 2026 – Gavin has made the decision to rest it for the year and bring it back bigger and better in 2027 (1 hr 26 mins 30 secs) Reasons: Gavin no longer lives in Brisbane where the tournament has historically been based, and several attempts to get a local game going have been completely unsuccessful. He feels it would be unfair to interstate players to travel to Queensland only to play mostly other interstate players rather than a meaningful proportion of locals (1 hr 27 mins 30 secs) He also flags cost-of-living pressures and fuel costs as factors, noting that the fuel excise which had been removed is about to be reinstated (1 hr 28 mins 45 secs) Ken and Gavin have a brief riff on whether cane toads actually hibernate, and whether the tournament might one day move to a different Queensland location (1 hr 28 mins 45 secs) Gavin shares a long-held dream of running the Cane Toad on the beach under a sun-safe setup. Council regulations require public liability insurance – but the Asia Pacific Diplomacy Association is in the process of organising exactly that for tournament directors, which may open the door in future (1 hr 29 mins 15 secs) Tournament news The Sydney Cup is on the weekend of 4–5 July. Gavin would love to go but has used up his diplomacy credits between Greece and starting a new job – it'll have to stay in the bank for now (1 hr 30 mins 45 secs) A New Zealand tournament is being discussed for the week before WDC 2028 Melbourne (late February 2028). Three New Zealand players who attended WDC 2026 in Athens have flagged interest in hosting something, on the logic that if you're travelling all the way from Europe or the US, a short hop across the Tasman to New Zealand is well worth building into the itinerary (1 hr 32 mins) Ken enthusiastically endorses the idea and encourages anyone planning for WDC 2028 Melbourne to factor in a week in New Zealand beforehand (1 hr 33 mins 30 secs) Challenge for next episode Over his birthday lunch, Gavin's son surprised him with an accurate recall of his WDC result. This leads Gavin to issue a challenge for the next episode: both Ken and Gavin will do some homework and come back with three or four online diplomacy resources that people may not know about, to raise awareness of what the community has put together over the years (1 hr 34 mins 45 secs) Around the grounds VDiplomacy gets an introduction for any listeners who aren't familiar: a sibling platform to WebDiplomacy, it hosts classic games but is particularly known for its range of variants (1 hr 36 mins 30 secs) The Dionysus Reimagined game recap – the ancient Greece variant Ken and Gavin set up in the lead-up to WDC Athens. Ken soloed, eliminating Gavin in the final year. Gavin notes that technically his last dot was taken so late that his result registers as a survive rather than an elimination (1 hr 38 mins 45 secs) Gavin played Athens and found himself defending on all fronts from early on: Sparta (who built only armies and had nowhere to go but north), the Macedonians pressing from the north, Byzantium late in the game, and Rhodes. Ken played Byzantium and credits his early token luck as a key advantage, picking up all his bid supply centres including one he expected to bounce – giving him fleet dominance in the Aegean from the start (1 hr 40 mins) The bid mechanics are recapped for any listeners unfamiliar with the variant: each player has 4 tokens to bid on non-core supply centres; outbid or bounce and you don't get the build. Ken's fortunate opening bids gave him a decisive early position (1 hr 40 mins 30 secs) A practical tip for vDiplomacy players: always open the large map after adjudication. The small map can omit orders that didn't go through, making moves look different from what was actually played. Ken noted several instances in the Dionysus game where support orders that failed simply weren't visible on the small map (1 hr 45 mins 45 secs) Ken congratulates himself on the win and notes the ratings gap between the two has now closed to around 100 points (1 hr 47 mins 30 secs) New game announced: Gavin has set up a Pirates game titled Ahoy Mateys on vDiplomacy. Gunboat, 2-day 2-hour phase length. Ken explains the extra 2 hours: it gradually shifts the adjudication time back toward Australian time zones in games where everyone readies up early (1 hr 48 mins) Pirates variant overview: a 13-player variant set in the golden age of piracy in the Caribbean, created by Gavin in collaboration with Ollie (the vDiplomacy site administrator). The 13 players are broken into three factions (1 hr 51 mins 45 secs): Europeans – Spain, England, France, and Holland, who nominally control supply centres across the map but must capture them to make them count Pirates – five pirates, four historical (Montbas, Brasiliano, de la Cueva, and Johnson) and one fictitious: El Guapo, borrowed from the movie The Three Amigos Privateers – one per European power, operating as private navies with letters patent. They can attack anyone except their sponsoring power (and vice versa). The Dunkirkers serve Spain, Henry Morgan serves England, François Le Jones serves France, and the Rocherson serves Holland Unit rules: all units are fleets, but there are two types – Clippers (move up to two spaces, standard attack strength) and Frigates (move one space, attack at 1.5x strength). A single clipper cannot defend against an attacking frigate, but a clipper supported by another clipper can. Five marked spots on the board allow transformation between unit types (1 hr 57 mins 45 secs) Special rules: a voodoo witch's hut in Cuba allows a fleet on the north coast to teleport to the south coast and vice versa. And a 14th non-playing character – a Hurricane – spins up each storm season in a random sea territory, moves randomly in the fall turn, and destroys anything in its path with an effectively unstoppable attack strength, also resetting any supply centre it passes through to neutral (1 hr 59 mins) Ken commits to reading the full rules before play begins, notes Pirates has a genuine following on vDiplomacy with games regularly in progress, and suspects he may get slaughtered (2 hr 1 min 15 secs) Gavin and Ken wrap up the show (2 hr 2 mins 15 secs) Venue: At home Drinks for the interview: Ken: One of his home brews – a lager with a bit of a kick Gavin: A Baliamo Nero d'Avola from Sicily – opened two weeks prior, which he noted had become a little sour and bitter compared to its fresh opening, much like his first round at the tournament Just a reminder you can support the show by giving it 5 stars on iTunes or Stitcher.

Four Pillars of Advertising for Pediatric Practices: Newborn ROI, TikTok, Google Maps, and Internal OutreachHosts discuss pediatric practice marketing with repeat guest Dr. Cliff James, focusing on ROI-driven patient acquisition and replacing attrition by targeting newborns while balancing capacity and scheduling efficiency. James argues marketing spend should be measured by cost per acquired patient (nationally ~$80–$100; his ~$32), not percent of revenue, and stresses tracking “how did you hear about us” to avoid misleading metrics like clicks. He outlines advertising pillars: (1) social media content, especially TikTok, to educate pregnant/new parents and generate both patients and platform revenue; (2) hyperlocal visibility via Google Maps/Google Business and consistent listings across many directories, with mobile-optimized, content-rich websites that AI search tools can scrape; (3) targeted paid ads such as geofencing OB offices and filtering by demographics; and (4) internal “advertising” using EHR outreach to drive well visits and chronic care follow-ups. He emphasizes outsourcing execution while physicians stay involved and recommends treating the website like a revenue-producing employee.00:00 Podcast Intro and Guest01:38 Why Market to Newborns03:23 Attrition and Growth Math05:43 Capacity and Scheduling Limits13:47 Walk Ins and Workflow Hacks16:33 Marketing Spend and CPA18:48 Modern Referral Channels20:51 Outsource vs Be the Star23:22 Social Media Pillar TikTok27:59 Tracking Leads and Targeting29:32 High Income Ad Targeting30:10 Geofencing OB Offices31:16 60 Second Video Strategy32:32 Choosing Social Channels33:14 Avoiding Link Penalties35:29 Google Maps Over SEO36:29 AI Search Website Pages39:50 Reviews And Internal Outreach48:19 Quiz Funnels For Leads52:06 Webinars Worth It55:36 Delegate Marketing Work01:00:16 Website As An Employee01:02:23 Closing And DisclaimersSupport the show

Viel Natur, entspannte Lebensart, Kulinarik - wo leben die glücklichsten Menschen der Welt? In Skandinavien. Und genau deshalb feiern Tamina Kallert, Jochen und Michi in dieser Miniserie den hohen Norden mit all seiner Weite, Stille, Musik und diesem besonderen Lebensgefühl, für das die Schweden sogar ein eigenes Wort haben: Lagom. Gerade recht. Nicht mehr, nicht weniger.Tamina war im Sommer mit einem kleinen Bulli durch Småland unterwegs und hat ihren Geburtstag mitten im Mittsommerfest gefeiert. Mit Blumenkranz, Erdbeerkuchen und singenden Fremden auf dem Dorfplatz. Michi hat sich in Stockholm verliebt. Nicht in die Sehenswürdigkeiten, sondern in das Lebensgefühl von Södermalm, wo die Menschen im Sommer auf breiten Boulevards sitzen, als hätte die Zeit aufgehört zu zählen. Jochen hat sein rotes Holzhaus am See gefunden und überprüft lieber nochmal auf Google Maps, ob wirklich niemand in der Nähe wohnt.Dazu gibt es eine Überraschung aus dem Untergrund: die längste Kunstgalerie der Welt führt nicht durch ein Museum, sondern durch die Stockholmer U-Bahn. Und ins ABBA-Museum geht man auch dann, wenn man kein Fan ist. Versprochen.–Bei „Bella Skandinavia" reisen Deutschlands bekannteste Urlaubs-Expertin Tamina Kallert (u. a. „WDR Wunderschön") sowie Jochen Schliemann und Michael Dietz von „Reisen Reisen – der Podcast" durch den magischen Norden Europas.Diese Folge entstand mit freundlicher Unterstützung der Deutschen Bahn: www.bahn.de / Inspirationen Reisen (u.a.

We discovered the tiny, painfully relatable things that instantly humble you, from beach towels battling the wind to waving at someone who definitely wasn't waving back. Tim relived the horror of getting lost with Google Maps in public, while Ricki revealed the very specific struggles of salon chair self-esteem. Listeners shared their own brutally humbling moments, including teachers being judged by teenagers, shirts accidentally exposing far more than intended, and the unexpected downside of extra-long fake nails. It's a comforting reminder that no matter who you are, embarrassment is always waiting just around the corner.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's episode is really special: a deep eating, drinking, and food culture tour of Colorado, a state that has been quietly (and then not so quietly) building one of the most exciting culinary scenes in America. From Denver's Michelin-starred restaurant boom to the peach orchards and wine country of the Grand Valley, we went to find out why Colorado is a serious food destination—and came back convinced. First up, we sit down with Johnny Curiel, the Guadalajara-born, Denver-raised chef and 2025 James Beard Award finalist behind the Michelin-starred Alma Fonda Fina and the newly opened Milpero. Johnny's story—from learning to cook in his father's kitchen in Jalisco to redefining modern Mexican cuisine in the Rockies—is one we're excited to tell. Next we hit Five Points and RiNo with Laura Young, Denver food writer and founder of New Denizen. Laura takes us on an epic crawl of the spots defining the new Denver dining moment: Cuban pastry, specialty coffee, and an amazing Japanese-inspired all-day café. We then head west to the Grand Valley for a conversation with chef Matthew Chasseur of Pêche in Palisade—a restaurant built on the region's extraordinary agricultural bounty, from Palisade peaches to Colorado lamb, proving that world-class dining doesn't require an urban zip code. Throughout the episode, we share highlights from our wider Colorado eating adventures—the restaurants, markets, and producers that made this trip one for the books.

A man was exploring Google Maps when he spotted a strange pit in the middle of a remote area. Curious, he zoomed in and noticed it didn't look like anything natural. He shared it online, and soon scientists were intrigued by this unusual discovery. After studying the location, they found it was an ancient, massive crater, likely caused by a meteor impact. The pit was way bigger than anyone had expected, and its existence had been completely unknown. This discovery amazed researchers, offering clues about Earth's geological history and past meteor strikes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Llegó la Parte 2 de esta guía práctica con 25 trucos y trampas de Gemini 3.5 Flash. En el episodio anterior vimos cómo usar Gemini con memoria, prompts avanzados, Gmail, Drive, Sheets, traducciones, Google Fotos y organización de ideas. Pero ahora vamos un paso más allá: en esta segunda parte te muestro cómo usar Gemini 3.5 Flash para ordenar reuniones, analizar miniaturas, revisar propuestas comerciales, buscar documentos técnicos, crear rutas en Google Maps, resumir videos, generar simuladores interactivos, comparar precios, planificar compras, armar documentos en Drive y hasta diseñar itinerarios personalizados de viaje.Lo importante no es solamente que Gemini responda rápido. Lo interesante es cómo puede convertirse en un asistente real si le das contexto, conectás bien tus herramientas y aprendés a pedirle las cosas con precisión. También vas a ver algo clave: Gemini puede ayudarte muchísimo, pero no todo lo que responde debe tomarse como verdad absoluta. Hay momentos donde puede inventar datos o completar información que no tiene confirmada. Por eso esta guía no es solo de trucos: también es de trampas, límites y buenas prácticas para usar inteligencia artificial sin confiarse de más. Esta es la continuación directa de la Parte 1. Si todavía no la viste, te recomiendo verla primero para entender el flujo completo. En total son 25 ejemplos reales para usar Gemini 3.5 Flash en productividad, contenido, trabajo, viajes, compras, investigación y organización personal. Suscribite a idearVlog porque esto recién empieza: la inteligencia artificial ya no es una promesa, es una herramienta diaria… pero hay que saber usarla.00:00 Intro: bienvenidos a la Parte 200:19 Truco 15: transformar ideas desordenadas en una minuta prolija01:06 Truco 16: analizar por qué funcionó una miniatura01:49 Truco 17: revisar menciones comerciales desde Gmail02:11 Truco 18: buscar documentos técnicos en Google Drive03:04 Truco 19: planificar recorridos de grabación con Google Maps03:58 Truco 20: resumir videos y extraer puntos clave04:51 Truco 21: crear simulaciones y representaciones interactivas05:43 Truco 22: buscar ofertas y links de compra en la web06:21 Truco 23: analizar precios históricos y mejores momentos para comprar07:22 Truco 24: convertir comparativas en documentos de Drive08:01 Truco 25: usar Gemini como asistente de viajes personalizado09:00 Cierre: formato en dos partes y llamado a comentar

Welcome back, folks. I leave for a little while and the whole country turns into a yard sale run by raccoons with government grants. I step away to “recharge,” and suddenly America's got flaming cities, illiterate graduates, Google Maps running witness protection for burned neighborhoods, and Democrats trying to hide their catastrophes. But don't worry. During my absence, with the help of a few friends, I solved the world's problems. Completely solved them. Wrapped it up like leftovers at Thanksgiving. Turns out the answer was sitting right there the whole time.Dump Leftists.That's it. That's the cure. Not a committee. Not a blue-ribbon panel. Not another trillion-dollar infrastructure bill where somehow only the “consultants” get infrastructure. Just dump Leftists.Because here's the thing nobody wants to admit out loud: Leftism never voluntarily dies. It survives like glitter in carpet. You think it's gone, then six years later you find a pronoun in your vacuum cleaner.And I'm not talking about liberals from thirty years ago. Those people argued taxes and foreign policy. Today's Leftism is a traveling circus run by emotionally unstable former hall monitors. These people looked at every functioning institution in America and said, “What if we made it weaker, uglier, and sexually confusing?”And they did it.Now, there are two ways to defeat Leftism.The easy way is economic starvation. Stop feeding it. Stop funding the universities that hate your guts. Stop buying products from companies that think your daughter needs three therapists and a gender consultant before algebra class. Stop subsidizing people who openly despise the nation that made their nonsense possible.No revenue. Let it collapse under the weight of its own vegan poetry slam.The hard way? Make Leftists watch Conservatism succeed.That's the cruelest punishment imaginable for them. They cannot stand happy, functional people. A conservative family barbecue is like holy water on a demon. Kids laughing, meat on the grill, dads fixing things voluntarily, nobody screaming about colonialism near the potato salad. It terrifies them.Because Conservatives commit the unforgivable sin in modern America: we enjoy reality.Meanwhile Leftists are permanently angry at gravity, biology, merit, math, and sunlight.Speaking of math, let's go to academia.

This week on The Green Insider, Mike Nemer sits down with Itzik Malka, co-founder and CEO of 4M Analytics, to explore how better visibility into underground infrastructure can reduce risk, cut costs, and improve decision-making across construction and utility projects. Itzik explains how 4M Analytics is working to create a digital map of the subsurface using remote sensing, aerial imagery, and AI to help engineers, utility owners, and project teams understand what lies below ground before excavation begins. Episode 327 Show Notes Episode Overview Drawing on a background in explosives detection and risk mitigation, Itzik shares the origin story behind 4M Analytics and the company's mission to build what he calls the “Google Maps of the underground.” The conversation covers why fragmented utility records create delays, budget overruns, and safety concerns, and how more reliable subsurface data can improve planning from feasibility and estimating through construction and asset management. Key topics in this episode:• How 4M Analytics uses remote sensing, aerial imagery, and AI to map underground infrastructure• Why incomplete utility data creates risk for contractors, engineers, DOTs, and asset owners• How better subsurface visibility can reduce unnecessary truck rolls, field investigations, and project delays• The role of digital infrastructure data in pre-construction planning, damage prevention, and lifecycle management• Why trust, accuracy, and early access to information matter in construction decision-making Subscribe to The Green Insider for more conversations with the leaders and disruptors shaping sustainability, infrastructure, and the energy transition. #TheGreenInsider #Podcast #ApplePodcasts #Infrastructure #ConstructionTech #UtilityMapping #AI #Sustainability #EnergyTransition #4MAnalytics #Geospatial #RemoteSensing #ArtificialIntelligence #AerialImagery #DigitalInfrastructure #RiskMitigation The post How 4M Analytics Is Building the Google Maps of the Underground appeared first on eRENEWABLE.
