When federal agents kill civilians and public outrage sweeps the nation, who gets to define justified force and who gets to hold power accountable? The killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti have sparked protests, national shutdowns, and fresh debate about what security should look like in America. Elizabeth Neumann, former assistant secretary for counterterrorism at the US Department of Homeland Security, joins Mark Labberton for a wide-ranging conversation about fear-based governance, moral responsibility, constitutional guardrails, and what faithful leadership looks like in a moment of political crisis. "Cruelty is a deterrent." In this episode with Mark Labberton, Neumann reflects on how Christian faith and public service shaped her national security career and why recent forceful immigration enforcement and lethal encounters challenge constitutional limits and moral clarity. Together they discuss the moral and political meaning of the Minneapolis killings, trauma and vocation, immigration enforcement and democratic consent, fear-driven leadership, and how citizens and faith communities respond when institutions break down. Episode Highlights "Cruelty is a deterrent." "I realized how much my hope and trust had been in man." "We wrapped the flag around the cross." "We see sufficiently, but not transparently." "This is not normal, and this is not okay." About Elizabeth Neumann Elizabeth Neumann is a national security expert and former assistant secretary for counterterrorism at the US Department of Homeland Security. She served across three presidential administrations, including senior roles during the George W. Bush and Trump administrations, and worked extensively on counterterrorism, prevention of political violence, and domestic extremism. A frequent public commentator and congressional witness, Neumann has become a leading voice on the moral and constitutional dangers of fear-driven governance. Her work bridges public policy, trauma studies, and Christian ethics, particularly where political power collides with faith commitments. She is the author of Kingdom of Rage, a deeply personal and analytical account of extremism, nationalism, and the cost of unexamined allegiance.

Bush campaigns as formative training ground Entry into White House work through campaign victory Faith-based initiatives before September 11 reshaped national priorities September 11 as lived experience, not abstraction Crossing the 14th Street Bridge as the attacks unfolded "We were under attack," and nothing felt safe Fog, confusion, smoke, radios, and unanswered phone calls Trauma before resilience, fear before context Learning endurance from older colleagues who said, "We will get through this." Trauma as vocational fuel Hypervigilance, workaholism, and mission-driven identity National security as moral calling rather than career ambition Warning from a CIA colleague: rebuild a cadence of normal life Vigilance versus fear-driven overwork Marriage, family, and a season of spiritual deepening Scripture as disruption: Jeremiah 17 and misplaced trust "I realized how much my hope and trust had been in man."

Big Shot Bob and the team dive deep into various hot topics in sports. Starting with a heated discussion about Clemson’s Dabo Swinney calling out other teams for tampering with his players, Big Shot Bob contends that while Dabo has a point, the NCAA’s lack of rules makes it a lawless environment. The conversation shifts to the adverse effects of the transfer portal on high school athletes' recruitment, emphasizing how the portal's existence has complicated the traditional process of getting into college sports.   The episode also covers Deion Sanders' new rules at Colorado, where he implements monetary penalties for player infractions, igniting a debate on the fairness and feasibility of such fines for college athletes who may not be making significant NIL money. The hosts argue whether it’s a fair method of discipline or if it could potentially push players to transfer out. Additionally, the notion of potential trades for college players surfaces, with the crew discussing the complexities and unlikely feasibility of such trades given the current state of college athletics.   Towards the end, the show explores the longevity of players in the modern NBA, citing how current stars like LeBron James and Stephen Curry continue to excel well into their late 30s and early 40s. The hosts contrast this with older generations, attributing the shift to improved fitness regimes and a more offensively driven game. They wrap up with a light-hearted segment about sentimental items that have stood the test of time, sharing personal stories of cherished belongings, from old clothes to long-lived cars, bringing a humorous and nostalgic close to the episode.   00:00 Introduction and Host Greetings 00:58 Dabo Swinney's Rant on Tampering 01:42 NCAA's Lack of Guardrails 02:32 Accountability in College Sports 03:24 Coaches vs. Players: Double Standards 07:16 Impact of Transfer Portal on High School Recruits 10:18 NIL Deals and Player Fines 14:37 The Future of College Sports: Collective Bargaining and Unionization 15:17 The Concept of Trading College Players 17:04 Aging NBA Stars: Performance and Longevity 19:49 Will We See Another 73-9 Season? 21:15 The Emotional Attachment to Personal Belongings

When does a body of work reach completion? One answer is to end it by choice. This week in episode 356 you'll hear the reasons behind our intentional ending of the Nerd Journey Podcast. We'll rewind the clock and focus on the show's trajectory and inflection points over time just like we've done for guests, share what we learned over the course of an 8-year journey from idea to consistently released show, and discuss our favorite moments. All of our content will remain online and accessible for listeners like you to go back and enjoy. Don't miss our final call to action in this episode. Just because this body of work is complete, there is still work for all of us to do for our careers. Original Recording Date: 12-20-2025 Topics – A Purposeful Ending, Where We Started, Interview Format and Getting to Launch, The Why Behind the Ending, The Lessons We Learned, Our Favorite Moments, What to Expect from Us Moving Forward, There's More to Be Done for All of Us. 1:01 – A Purposeful Ending We'll give you the bottom line up front: this is the last episode of the Nerd Journey podcast. We still love the mission, but the time has come for us to complete this body of work. When we have interviewed guests on the show, we've talked through their career timeline and pulled out the lessons learned. Today, we're going to do it for the show itself. 1:38 – Where We Started John was working as a sales engineer at VMware and was the co-host of the VMware Community Roundtable Podcast. He loved listening to podcasts, enjoyed the medium, and wanted to find a topic for a show. At the same time Nick was in the process of joining VMware, John and Nick were discussing all the things Nick needed to know to transition into sales engineering for a technology vendor. “In that conversation, I said ‘maybe we should start a podcast.'” – John White As Nick remembers it, this happened the weekend before Nick started at VMware in December 2017 (almost exactly 8 years before this episode's recording). Nick wasn't sure what he would talk about on a podcast. This suggestion from John started the ideation period, and our launch of the show was in July 2018. John talks about some of the initial ideas for the focus of the show. At that time, VMware podcasts and blogs were a great way to interact with the greater community. Doing something like this was also a way to become what John calls “nerd famous.” By the way, no one else can use that term now (trademarked by John). We initially considered talking about VMware news and our opinions on it since we both were going to be working at VMware. Both John and Nick came from small-to-medium business IT operations and eventually became sales engineers at a technology vendor. One of the things the show could be for is to talk about that journey and help others understand it was a possibility for them as well. John and Nick recorded about 10 episodes before launching to help hit the release cadence. Nick doesn't remember why they chose a weekly release cadence but remembers the show launched while he was on vacation. John and Nick even recorded a podcast episode while Nick was on that vacation, which started a habit of Nick doing podcast work while on vacation. Because they had recorded so many episodes in advance, they were not going to be timely or points of authority on VMware technology. Both Nick and John's roles were as technical generalists on the VMware side. “The only evergreen stuff that we had was the career stuff, so that became a little bit more the focus. I think that we were still thinking…we'll just record more maybe VMware specific stuff later on…as that happens. For right now, here it is.” – John White Early episodes were very prescriptive about resumes and job interview processes at larger tech companies, for example. Nick points out that John had to carry the conversation in these early episodes because he was just learning to think about career focused topics (sort of like being new to lifting weights). But, Nick picked up a lot just from the conversations on the show. 7:50 – Interview Format and Getting to Launch Nick couldn't remember what made them bring in guests originally, but Episode 13 with Tom Delicati was our very first guest interview on the show. John feels bringing in guests was always back of mind for him, and it was what he saw happen on the VMware Community Roundtable Podcast. “We're just 2 people and we have our experience. But we can't represent that as the full breadth of all of experience. That just doesn't make any sense. So, we need to start exploring what other people's career journeys have looked like and see if we can extract some knowledge and recommendations from that.” – John White Nick doesn't remember having a prescriptive plan for interviewing guests but feels like they settled into long-form interviews as a style pretty quickly. John says this was a structure they hit upon in the beginning (talking through someone's job history). The lessons learned from career inflection points like job transitions emerged from conversations with guests. John and Nick did not know this was going to happen when they began. Nick likes being able to highlight more of one specific guest's story than otherwise could have been done if each interview was only 30 minutes with a guest. But we fully acknowledge people like different lengths of podcasts. “We wanted to tell interesting stories that had an arc: a beginning and an end and a journey in between. And we were able to find those even chopping people's long 2-hour conversations up into 2 or even 3 episodes. I think that worked for us. I don't know if it worked for everybody.” – John White “We probably spent the same time interviewing people as we would have. We just didn't interview as many as if it had been 1 episode per person.” – Nick Korte We also didn't want to release a 2-hour interview as one episode. That's a lot of editing for just one episode release. People might not realize how much time goes into editing and production even after recording an interview. At the beginning, John had to give Nick advice on the kind of microphone to get. Nick started recording with a headset and then bought the same mic as John. They would each later invest in nicer microphones as the show progressed. “I knew nothing about editing and really not that much about how to make a podcast.” – Nick Korte, on beginning as a podcaster There were a lot of things we had to figure out just to make the podcast publicly available. John had researched some of the administrative things. He knew there was a WordPress plugin that could be used to turn MP3 files of released episodes into publicly available audio feed that would be the podcast. John says there were some mental blocks and hurdles he had to get through before launching the show, highlighting the fact that it took 6 months to go from idea to publishing. He was getting overwhelmed trying to figure out the back-end production and publishing process. John thinks it was Nick who kept asking what needed to happen for us to launch, and we went with WordPress and the plugin mentioned but never changed anything…because we had no time to go back. Nick and John learned that once you start a show and get it going, you will never run out of ideas. 13:58 – The Why Behind the Ending We never ran out of ideas. In fact, we still have ideas. So why are we stopping the podcast? We ran out of time. Nick has run out of time to work on editing and production. This has been a weekly show (up until the last couple months of our run), and it takes a large time commitment each week. For guest interview episodes, the intro and outro were not recorded at the same time the interview took place. These had to be recorded before the episode was released. The show notes are not AI-generated. Nick enjoyed writing them and adding in important links and references, feeling like it allowed him to remember the episodes better and internalize the lessons within them. Nick has a teenager now with many extracurricular activities and has had a workload increase at his job. “Probably for the last year I think I've been fooling myself at how much of a toll it's been to just get an episode out each week.” – Nick Korte We even tried changing the release schedule to bi-weekly and have missed that cadence a couple of times. John ran out of time about 4 years ago and hasn't had much time since to handle podcast related tasks. John experienced a job change and new baby at that time and couldn't add anything else. He also moved at some point. John and Nick have been advancing in their own careers over time as well, which has added responsibility. John and his wife recently had a second child. He also left his job in June 2025 and has been doing a job search at the same time. Before Nick and John made this decision, Nick listened back to some previous episodes to get advice and perspective. Some of the advice that echoed the loudest came from Amy Lewis in Episode 302 – Ending with Intention: Once a Geek Whisperer with Amy Lewis (2/2). The idea of ending with intention stood out. “Rather than being spotty on our releases and not keeping our promise of how often we say we're going to get the show out, we wanted to end it with intention and say, ‘ok, this is it.'” – Nick Korte “We haven't lost the love of this task. We both want this to continue. But realistically, we can't do it. And rather than sputter and peter out and never be heard from again, we just thought we'll follow the lessons that we've learned from our bettors and do what they did. Let's be intentional about the end.” – John White 18:02 – The Lessons We Learned John learned how much we can learn from the experience of others. He had ideas and biases about how we should handle specific aspects of our career, but doing the podcast allowed him to pressure test these ideas against the experience of others. John appreciates the breadth of background and experience our collective guests have brought to the show. It made him realize there are so many different ways to do certain things. Nick learned a ton about the mechanics of podcast production. It was around Episode 113 when Nick became the editor because John needed to take a break. If you want to hear more about how this happened, check out this blog post. Nick got hooked into podcast communities and even attended a podcast conference in 2025, meeting many other people who run their own podcast. Nick learned how much salesmanship is involved in getting a guest. You have to sell someone on the idea of being on the show and what they can bring to your listeners. How easy can you make it for them to say yes? John and Nick asked guests for 1.5 – 2 hours for an interview. “If you make it easy for someone to say yes and you build the outline of questions you might ask and you tell them what your show is about and what you want to cover, they'll say yes. And they might give you more time than that…. I learned so much about different people that I never would have met otherwise. I am thankful for all the learnings of all the people who have been on the show. And I'm thankful for everything I've learned from you, John.” – Nick Korte John is grateful for the difference in skills he and Nick have and their ability to learn from one another just by co-hosting together. He likes to apply the idea of making it easy for others to say yes when he's asking something of someone at work, for example. Nick learned how to beat perfectionism weekly. Something can always be edited more or re-recorded. There was a weekly ship date. “The deadline was always there to keep me honest.” – Nick Korte Seth Godin's The Practice talks about keeping a promise to the people who follow you. Having a weekly release cadence meant we were promising to ship episodes weekly. “So, whether one person listened or a million people listened, we tried to keep that promise. And it was important to us to keep it, even if it was hard.” – Nick Korte “Having a million people listen to a specific episode or even hit the site in a specific week wasn't the goal. I think the goal was the breadth of work and making it accessible and having people be able to benefit from it.” – John White We also had to learn how to tell people about the show in a clear, succinct way. When John or Nick would join video calls for work, people would see their microphones and ask if they had a podcast. We also used generative AI in our workflow for production a little bit, even if it was not for show notes. Doing the show has dragged with it some reasons to tinker with generative AI. With John's help Nick learned how to build a Gemini prompt that would take the handwritten show notes and brainstorm titles, episode descriptions, and even create a prompt for a featured image based on the themes in the episode. John shares that we never wanted to use generative AI to take a transcript and generate an episode outline. We might lose touch with the content that way. John talks about the curse of being an audio editor. It's impossible to NOT hear issues in other audio. Nick can hear mouth noises on Zoom calls like you wouldn't believe. John says we can listen to someone else's podcast and may be able to tell who is and is not the editor based on whether they speak into the microphone or move away from it and keep talking. 25:15 – Our Favorite Moments John says it's hard to pick just one favorite moment. We got to meet some of our heroes in podcasting and other people who were “nerd famous” about their career stories. We had some great conversations with John Nicholson about how to evaluate a job offer and personal finance. Check out these for reference: Episode 224 – Tech Marketing, Interview Questions, and Executives as Wild Bears with John Nicholson (1/3) Episode 225 – Take Stock of Your Compensation with John Nicholson (2/3) Episode 226 – Negotiating Job Offers and Personal Finance Tips with John Nicholson (3/3) Having a podcast allowed us to have lengthy conversations with people who may not have otherwise had a reason to talk to us. John doesn't think asking someone out of the blue for 2 hours of time without having a podcast would have worked well. John says he has a strong recency bias, often walking away from an interview with a guest thinking it was the best one yet. Nick's favorite moments Nick remembers the first time we interviewed Mike Burkhart (in Episode 64 and Episode 65). He was having wifi issues and had to move everything into his living room floor to record the episode. John and Mike were kind enough to stay online and still do the interview. John and Nick live in different parts of the United States and have only been able to record together in person a handful of times. These times were special and rare. Nick remembers the time they recorded at VMware Explore and forgot to hit record…twice in a row! If John had to succumb to recency bias, he would pick the recent interview with Milin Desai. This set of interviews stands alone as the only time we were cold pitched a guest by someone we did not know, and it was a perfect fit. We got over 2 hours with a CEO! Episode 349 – Expand Your Curiosity: Build, Own, and Maintain Relevance with Milin Desai (1/3) Episode 350 – Scope and Upside: The Importance of Contextual Communication with Milin Desai (2/3) Episode 350 – Opt In: A CEO's Take on Becoming AI Native with Milin Desai (3/3) People being both generous with their time and inciteful has been a pattern with guests. Nick and John got to have conversations with people both on the air and off the air. Nick appreciated having Dale McKay on the show (a mentor of his). You can find those episodes here: Episode 288 – Guardrails for Growth: A Mentor's Experience with Dale McKay (1/2) Episode 289 – Enhance Your Personal Brand: Feedback as a Catalyst for Change with Dale McKay (2/2) Some other favorites from Nick: He enjoyed all of the conversations about the principal title and principal engineers. See also the principal tag for more of these stories. Nick also really enjoyed hearing the stories about why people went into leadership roles and why they moved away from them. One specific episode Nick highlights as a favorite is Episode 127 – Countdown to Burnout with Tom Hollingsworth (3/3). John mentions we all battle burnout from time to time, and having such great advice to go back to is a gift. Nick says being the editor is also a gift because you're going to get to listen to the recorded discussion multiple times. Many times, the questions Nick and John asked in guest interviews were things they needed help with in their own careers. Hopefully the answers to those questions helped you as a listener too! John liked the fact that we were able to clip some of the times we messed up on the air and include those sound bites at the very end of an episode for people. To find these episodes, look for the Stinger metadata tag on an episode post. Nick mentions the Barry White intro stinger. It's actually at the end of Episode 17. There are also some good stingers with guest Chris Williams. 31:05 – What to Expect from Us Moving Forward What are the things that will, won't, and might happen in the future? The Nerd Journey site will remain online and accessible so our content will not disappear. You can still enjoy past episodes, browse the show notes, and leverage the Layoff Resources Page as well as our Career Uncertainty Action Guide. John and Nick can keep it online in a very cost-effective way just as they have to this point since the podcast was never monetized (not even Amazon affiliate links). John still has a dream of making sure we have transcripts of all the episodes and making these available in addition to the show notes. Maybe that could be extended to an AI chat bot that was trained on the transcripts. There would be some overhead involved in doing it, but John thinks it's definitely possible. You can still reach out to John or Nick on LinkedIn or send us an e-mail. All current communication channels will remain in place. We are available for questions, if you want to talk, etc. We will definitely NOT restart this show. We have declared it complete. Even if we were going to do a show like this again in the future, we would do it differently. We might choose a different name, a different description, or a different format even. But we don't have the time to do that right now anyway. We are NOT starting a new show (at least not right now). 34:59 – There's More to Be Done for All of Us Just because the show is ending, that doesn't mean your work is complete. None of our work is complete when it comes to career. “The things that we've talked about in curating your own career and being intentional about it always apply. We're not going to be around to remind you of that every week, so I hope that people have learned those lessons and internalized them. But if not, do something to make those things intentional. You need to prioritize your career on a consistent basis.” – John White Here are some specific actions that you should take: Document your work. Generate proof of work. Show your work (similar to generating proof of work). John says this is what we were unconsciously doing when we began the podcast, sharing how we got to where we are and our job transitions so others can follow a similar path if they choose. The purpose of showing your work is so that others can learn from your experience and so you can remind yourself of what you've accomplished at a later time. Nick highlights that Episode 66: Three-Month Check-In as a Google Cloud Customer Engineer with John White, Part 1 remains the most downloaded episode in our catalog. Aim for small, iterative improvements. Turn information into knowledge. Some of this is through writing. We spoke several times on the show about writing being thinking, and it was specifically referenced in an episode with Josh Duffney – Episode 156 – Better Notes, Better You with Josh Duffney (1/2). Manage your knowledge in some kind of written form that isn't in your head. Make it a knowledge management system of some kind. Practice Deep Work. It's the most important work you can do because the skill of sustained attention will be the thing for which people are paid. Be mindful of technology waves and trends, and consider placing some small bets. Many guests have invested time and effort to become proficient in a newer technology before or as it was catching on. Don't be afraid to tinker with those newer technologies. Consistently invest in your professional network. One way to do this could be via meetup groups or online communities. Reach out to use if you want to talk about careers, starting a podcast, or other fun topics. Nick can also tell you what it's like to go through the John White School of Mentoring. We want to say a special thank you to every guest who took the time to be on the podcast and every listener who took the time to listen to an episode.

Christine Malfair is a lifelong hotelier turned independent-hotel marketing fixer, with a career spanning cruise ships, GM roles, and 15 years building Malfair Marketing as an early "remote fractional CMO." She helps independent hotels cut through AI noise and get found by guests and machines without losing their minds. Susan and Christine talk about clarity, consistency, and competitive courage. • Employee use of ChatGPT and real risks to proprietary hotel data • Guardrails for AI use inside hotel teams without banning innovation • Remote hotel leadership before "remote" was normal • Building a marketing function when no department exists • "AI-ready" as an ecosystem, not a shiny new tool • Why vague hotel language disappears in AI discovery • Team buy-in as the difference between tech adoption and rebellion • AI as an intermediary, not a channel • Why independent hotels can win without the biggest budgets • Standing tall in what guests already love you for *** Our Top Three Takeaways AI rewards clarity, not complexity Being "AI ready" isn't about adopting new tools or chasing the latest platform. It's about tightening what already exists. Hotels that are specific, consistent, and clear across their websites, listings, reviews, and social content will be easier for AI to understand and recommend. Generic language and inconsistencies create friction and invisibility. 2. Simple systems outperform heroic effort Christine's experience, from cruise ships to strata hotels, reinforces the same truth. Well-designed systems reduce chaos and conflict, even in complex environments. The same applies to marketing and AI. Progress comes from manageable, repeatable steps, not massive overhauls or one-time pushes. 3. Differentiation matters more than budget AI acts like a digital intermediary, deciding what gets surfaced and why. In that environment, sameness is a liability. The independent hotels that win won't be the ones with the most spend or the most content. They'll be the ones that are clear about who they are, what guests love about them, and how they stand apart.

What does biblical prophecy with integrity actually look like? In a charismatic landscape riddled with false prophecies and manipulation, the Remnant Radio crew is calling the Church back to accountable, Christ-centered prophetic ministry. Join Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree, and Michael Miller as they lay out a roadmap for practicing spiritual gifts with character, biblical grounding, and zero tolerance for spiritual abuse.This isn't just another critique of charismatic excess—it's a solution. The hosts dive deep into prophetic integrity at three critical levels: local church ministry, conference settings, and national prophetic words. Discover practical frameworks for training believers in the gift of prophecy, establishing accountability systems, and creating environments where the Holy Spirit can move without manipulation or data mining scandals.What You'll Learn:-What the democratization of the Holy Spirit means  -How to implement prophetic accountability in your local church, including recording prophecies and establishing prayer teams-The crucial difference between a missed prophecy and a false prophet-Why national prophetic words should be the exception, not the norm-Guardrails to prevent spiritual abuse through prophetic manipulation-Biblical examples of prophetic training (Samuel, the 72 elders, Acts 21:4)The Remnant hosts explore 1 Corinthians 14, Acts 2, Numbers 11, and other key scriptures while sharing real stories from their own ministry experiences. They're not afraid to call out abuses while also casting vision for what healthy prophetic culture could look like in the body of Christ.Whether you're a cessationist questioning if spiritual gifts are real, a charismatic burned by prophetic abuse, or a pastor wanting to cultivate the gifts in your congregation, this episode offers a balanced, biblically-sound approach to prophetic ministry that honors both the power of the Spirit and the authority of Scripture.0:00 – Introduction1:33 – Why Prophetic Integrity Matters6:29 – Prophetic Integrity in Local Churches11:16 – Democratization of the Holy Spirit20:02 – Establishing Prophetic Teams and Training27:44 – Prophetic Values and Weighing Words43:15 – Handling Missed Prophecies and Accountability48:42 – Prophetic Integrity at Conferences56:40 – National Prophetic Words and Accountability Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

If you're a Christian man trying to lead your family, protect your marriage, and stay faithful in a world that keeps pulling you off course—this episode is for you. Pastor Andre Anderson (aka “Barbecue Church”) breaks down why no one is coming to save you, why depending on a church paycheck can trap your calling, and why real masculinity isn't toxic—it's disciplined, protective, and surrendered to Christ. You'll hear straight talk on killing bad habits, resisting lust and temptation, handling marriage conflict without turning your wife into the enemy, and learning to fight the right battles—in the spirit, not in the flesh. Andre also shares the “225° Man” message: God forms men low and slow—like smoked meat—through heat, pressure, process, and rest. If you've been stuck in cycles, secret sin, burnout, or you feel spiritually numb, this conversation will light you up with practical, biblical mindset shifts and a call back to real brotherhood, prayer, and leadership. Why “vocational ministry” isn't the only real ministry How to kill the patterns wrecking your marriage and leadership The “225° Man” metaphor: process, discipline, and spiritual formation Why men keep fighting the wrong battles (and how to shift spiritually) How to create real men's community (not surface-level events) Guardrails for travel, temptation, and honoring your covenant Why politics can't be your savior—and what Kingdom focus looks like 00:00 Intro00:23 Andre's backstory: ministry, family, “7 jobs”01:06 Barbecue Church + reaching men outside church walls05:06 Corporate work + ministry opportunities in the field08:18 Killing bad habits in marriage + attention & leadership12:20 The 225° Man: God builds you low & slow15:24 The struggle men face right now18:26 Politics, presidents, and staying Kingdom-minded25:05 Real brotherhood: locking arms, prayer, community27:25 The #1 takeaway: KILL what doesn't belong34:02 Where to find Andre + closing #ChristianMen #Masculinity #MarriageAdvice #MensMinistry #FaithAndDiscipline Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textHeadlines say crime is down and wages are up, but they rarely ask why. We dig into the data and argue that consistent immigration enforcement is quietly shifting the country toward order: fewer repeat offenders on the streets, tighter labor markets that finally reward hourly workers, and public services that are no longer bursting at the seams. It's not about cruelty; it's about incentives. When rules are clear, chaos recedes—and the people who rely most on schools, hospitals, and safe streets feel the gains first.Culture sets the tone, too. We react to Michelle Obama's bleak framing of womanhood and make a different case: empowerment without agency is just intimidation. Younger women aren't asking for a battle plan; they're asking for options. Real freedom means choosing career, family, both, or neither without apology—and recognizing that seasons change. Choice beats grievance, and optimism beats burnout.Then we open the black box of ride-hail safety. Court discovery shows Uber logged more than 500,000 sexual misconduct reports since 2017—far beyond public summaries. We break down the vetting gaps, the “review before suspend” policy that keeps accused drivers on the road, and the limits of background checks without fingerprints or international records. Safety has a standard in high-risk industries: suspend first, investigate fast, and publish transparent stats.Finally, we unpack Canada's move to lower tariffs on Chinese EVs. On paper it's small; in practice it risks undercutting Canadian auto jobs, straining U.S. supply chains, and giving Beijing fresh leverage in North America. Subsidized imports and contested IP don't just move cars—they move power. Guardrails like enforceable caps, strong rules of origin, and firm reciprocal measures aren't optional if we want to protect workers, innovation, and security.If you value common sense over spin, tap follow, share this with a friend, and leave a quick review.

Episode 436 | AI and Automation: What Should School Owners Actually Use? Podcast Description AI is everywhere right now—and for a lot of martial arts school owners, it's either exciting—or overwhelming. In Episode 436, Duane Brumitt and Shihan Allie Alberigo cut through the hype and get practical about what AI and automation are actually good for inside a school. They talk about why tech won't fix broken fundamentals, how to audit your numbers before you start building automations, and the real-world use cases that can save you time without turning your school into a “robot school.” Along the way, they share stories from the trenches—including Allie using AI to create a ninja “we miss you” video, using ChatGPT to rewrite a heated parent message into something kind and effective, and why too many automations can create “white noise” that makes families tune you out. Key Takeaways AI and automation are different tools. Automation is “if/then” triggers (texts, emails, reminders). AI is adaptive and conversational (helping with replies, content, and decision support). AI won't fix broken fundamentals. It can't repair a weak offer, unclear schedules, poor culture, or bad sales conversations—but it can improve speed, consistency, and follow-through. Audit before you automate. Track lead response time, booking rate, show-up rate, close rate, and first-90-day retention before you start adding more tech. Speed still wins. When possible, the best move is still personal contact fast—call or text a lead within minutes. Too many automations can backfire. If families get flooded with emails/texts, it becomes “white noise” and they opt out. Use AI to communicate with more care. Allie shares how he used ChatGPT to rewrite a message to a parent (when emotions were high) and it completely changed the outcome. Must-haves first. Automated lead follow-up, scheduling/confirmations, and no-show recovery are the highest ROI automations. Nice-to-haves next. Content help, review requests, and referral prompts can work great once your basics are clean. Don't automate the important stuff. Billing disputes, cancellations, complaints, and emotionally charged conversations need a human. Guardrails matter. Build a voice guide, set rules (tone, language, escalation), and always offer a “talk to a human” option. Action Steps for School Owners Do a quick audit this week. Lead response time (minutes, not hours) Booking rate Show-up rate Close rate First 90-day retention Fix your #1 leak before adding new tools. If your show-up rate is low, focus on confirmations and reminders. If your close rate is low, focus on sales conversations. Let the numbers tell you what to fix. Set up (or clean up) your must-have automations. Instant lead follow-up (text/email) Scheduling + confirmations No-show follow-up + reschedule prompts Audit your existing automations for “white noise.” Check if families are receiving overlapping offers or too many messages. Clean up old tags, old campaigns, and outdated promos. Use AI as your “calm-down coach” for tough messages. Before you hit send on a heated reply, paste it into ChatGPT and ask: “Rewrite this in a loving, compassionate, clear way.” Build an FAQ/onboarding library to reduce repetitive questions. Put your most common questions in one place (website/app/videos): uniforms, promotions, how early to arrive, what to expect, etc. Create a simple weekly stats habit. Start small: trials booked, trials showed, enrollments, and which program they chose. Then build from there. Set guardrails so you don't become a “robot school.” Create a voice guide (phrases you use/never use) Define when a human takes over (complaints, cancellations, billing, pricing) Always offer a human option Additional Resources Mentioned Spark Membership Software (automations, follow-up, reporting) LeadHunter Media (lead follow-up + AI texting support) Notion (used to track automations and systems) Upstream by Dan Heath (the “stop rescuing people downstream” story) Atomic Habits by James Clear Everybody Matters (mentioned as a book Duane is filtering through AI) Dan Sullivan (concept: “I always have a person between me and the technology”) If you enjoyed the episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with another school owner. And remember: AI should give you more freedom—not more work.

In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. Ronjon Nag, Adjunct Professor in Genetics at Stanford School of Medicine and President of the R42 Group, for a wide-ranging conversation on how artificial intelligence is reshaping health, medicine, and longevity science.Ronjon makes the case for systems thinking as a necessary framework for understanding aging, arguing that health emerges from complex interactions rather than isolated interventions. He explains how objective data—ranging from blood biomarkers to wearable-derived signals—can be integrated to guide better decisions, cut through conflicting health advice, and personalize interventions. The discussion also explores how AI is becoming a foundational tool, increasingly as ubiquitous as spreadsheets, enabling researchers, clinicians, and individuals to organize, connect, and interpret fragmented health data.The conversation then turns to AI's expanding role in drug discovery, personalized health insights, and ambitious efforts such as vaccines targeting aging biology. Along the way, Ronjon examines both the promise and the limitations of these approaches, emphasizing why interdisciplinary, data-driven methods—and clear thinking about causation, risk, and uncertainty—are essential for extending healthspan and improving long-term outcomes.Guest-at-a-Glance

At this juncture, we take stock of the winners and losers of Trump 2.0's first year in office. The cost of living crisis remains unresolved, with "affordability" becoming the word of the year. ICE raids in blue-state communities have sparked chaos and tragedy, eroding Republican advantages on immigration. The expiration of Obamacare subsidies, the dismantling of USAID, and the back-and-forth on tariffs—the ripple effects of these policies are now coming into view. Without the "guardrails" of his first term, Trump has spent a year unrestrained. Greenland has gone from an absurd joke to a serious foreign policy agenda. Will he achieve his ambition of "cementing his legacy"? As Trump 2.0 enters its second year—and a midterm election year—how will he continue to reshape America and the new world order?

The main obstacle preventing health systems from prioritizing AI over the next 3-5 years is not a lack of AI products in the market, but rather the challenges of integrating the technology into their existing workflows, and the uncertainty in measuring its return on investment (ROI). Newton's Tree's end-to-end AI governance platform delivers the necessary transparency and holistic oversight, empowering your multidisciplinary AI Governance Committee to drive confident AI adoption at scale across clinical and operational pathways.In this episode, host Sandy Vance sits with Haris Shuaib, the CEO of Newton's Tree, to discuss the speed at which AI is advancing and whether this pace is safe. They unpack what responsible, scalable AI governance really looks like. From hidden risks in data quality to the subtle ways AI behavior can drift over time, Haris breaks down why checks and balances aren't just a compliance exercise. They're essential to patient safety and organizational trust.In this episode, they talk about:How Newton's Tree helps governance committees confidently scale AI across clinical and operational pathwaysWhy so many organizations struggle with AI implementation—and where things most often break downWhat an effective process looks like for evaluating whether AI oversight is actually workingThe three things Newton's Tree continuously monitors: data quality, AI behavior, and clinical decision riskWhy closing the feedback loop is critical right nowPractical advice for CIOs navigating AI adoption—and how Newton's Tree supports themThe role of registries and observatories in responsible AI deploymentHow to ensure AI systems are safe and effective before they're put into real-world useA Little About Haris:Haris Shuaib is Founder and CEO of Newton's Tree, a startup dedicated to AI transformation at scale in health and care.

If you're in IVF and being offered a menu of embryo tests – PGT‑A, PGT‑M, PGT‑P – it can feel overwhelming. What do they actually tell you? How much is genetics vs environment? And how do you think about ethics, money, and risk for your family? In this two‑part series, I'm joined by Jonathan Anomaly, a social scientist and philosopher who works with a company developing and researching embryo testing tools, including PGT‑P. In Part 1, we cover: – What PGT‑A, PGT‑M and PGT‑P are (in plain language) – What kinds of conditions these tests can screen for – and what they can't – How to think about risk, family history, and the role of environment – The real‑world pros and cons: cost, access, equity, and ethics – Guardrails for deciding whether embryo testing makes sense for you You'll leave with a clearer framework for talking to your doctor or genetics team, without being told what you “should” do. ⚠️ Important: This episode is for education and reflection only. It is not medical, genetic, or legal advice. Always discuss your specific situation with your own care team.

The Cowboys don't have many chances — and that's exactly the problem.In this episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges breaks down the Dallas Cowboys' upcoming draft and explains why the pressure on their two first-round picks couldn't be higher. With no selections in the second or third rounds, Dallas must hit on picks 12 and 20 to begin fixing a defense that simply wasn't good enough last season. Norm walks through realistic draft scenarios, evaluates defensive targets like Sonny Styles, Caleb Downs, Harold Baines, and Jermod McCoy, and explains how quarterback movement at the top of the draft could quietly help — or hurt — the Cowboys' plans.Norm also explores trade-down possibilities at pick 20, outlining how Dallas might regain badly needed draft capital without sacrificing defensive help. The bottom line is blunt: the Cowboys cannot afford another draft miss. There's no cushion, no waiting around, and no easy fix if they get this wrong.Then the conversation turns to college football — and how the transfer portal has pushed the sport into complete chaos. Norm lays out eye-opening transfer numbers, including massive roster migrations following new coaches, and explains why the system has become unsustainable. The episode culminates with the story of Kansas State head coach Chris Kleiman, a wildly successful coach who retired early, citing the lack of guardrails, agent influence, and constant compensation demands as reasons he simply couldn't continue.It's a sobering look at two football worlds — one fighting to rebuild carefully, the other spinning faster than anyone can control. Chapters00:00:00 – Today's questions: the Cowboys draft and college football chaos00:01:29 – Why the Cowboys must fix the defense through the draft00:02:10 – The massive pressure on picks 12 and 2000:03:01 – Why missing on these picks isn't an option00:03:53 – Sonny Styles and Caleb Downs: ideal defensive targets00:04:40 – What happens if top targets are gone00:05:23 – How quarterback movement could help Dallas00:06:07 – Dante Moore's draft uncertainty00:07:02 – Cornerback options at pick 2000:07:40 – Jermod McCoy and betting on recovery00:08:18 – Defensive back depth in the mid-first round00:09:16 – Trade-down scenarios to regain draft capital00:10:08 – Why Dallas can't afford another draft mistake00:11:05 – Transition to college football's transfer chaos00:13:58 – Transfer portal numbers that don't feel real00:15:26 – Coaches bringing entire rosters with them00:16:09 – Oklahoma State and Penn State transfer explosions00:16:59 – Chris Kleiman's retirement and warning signs00:17:47 – Kleiman's coaching resume and success00:18:44 – Why the stress finally won00:20:12 – “No one's minding the store anymore”00:21:36 – Agents, money, and the future of the sport00:22:00 – Sponsors and closing thoughts Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageA nighttime city goes dark, rotors whisper over rooftops, and a regime built on crime loses its center of gravity. That image anchors a frank, fast-moving breakdown of Operation Absolute Resolve—the surgical extraction that removed Nicolás Maduro without a single U.S. casualty or aircraft loss. We open with first principles from Liberty and Tyranny, asking what prudence requires when unalienable rights collide with the limits of American responsibility, then test those principles against a real-world mission that felt more like law enforcement than nation building.I walk through the skeptical reflex shaped by Iraq and Afghanistan and explain why the facts on the ground shifted my view. Maduro's Venezuela wasn't acting like a sovereign state; it was operating as a transnational cartel hub funneling cocaine and fentanyl into American streets while inviting Russia, China, and Iran into our hemisphere. That changes the moral math. We draw the line from Noriega's Panama to Caracas, show how sovereignty erodes when a ruler weaponizes the state for organized crime, and clarify why a narrow objective—remove the cartel boss in a presidential sash—served both justice and deterrence.From there, we unpack the mission profile: more than 150 aircraft, coordinated cyber effects, lights out over Caracas, target hit at 2:01 a.m., and a clean exfil. No occupation. No open-ended promises. Just a defined aim met with precision and restraint. The takeaway is not triumphalism but discipline: peace through strength means clarity of purpose, proportional means, and a hard stop once the job is done. We close with practical guardrails to prevent mission creep and a look ahead to part two on Venezuela's next chapter and regional stability. If this analysis resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who cares about strategy and ethics, and leave a review to help more listeners find the conversation.Key Points from the Episode:We weigh the moral and strategic case for removing Nicolás Maduro through a surgical extraction that avoided quagmire while targeting a criminal enterprise masquerading as a state. We connect prudence, sovereignty, and the Monroe Doctrine to a Reagan-style peace through strength.• Levin's framework on rights, limits, and prudence• Skepticism after Iraq and Afghanistan• Operation Absolute Resolve planning and execution• Maduro as narco-terrorist and illegitimate ruler• Noriega precedent and sovereignty boundaries• Monroe Doctrine and great-power presence• Objectives achieved without occupation• Guardrails to prevent mission creepJoin us later in the week at TeammojoAcademy.com for part 2 Be sure to check out our show page at teammojoacademy.com, where we have everything we discussed in this podcast as well as other great resourcesOther resources: Want to leave a review?

Part 2 in the sermon series "Guardrails"

Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, sat down with JLINC's Dean Landsman, Strategy and Business Development, to explore a career-spanning conversation that connects radio, telecom, and today's AI-driven communications landscape through a single unifying theme: trust. Landsman traced his professional journey from early days in radio—where understanding audiences meant far more than chasing ratings—to telecom and, ultimately, to AI governance. Along the way, he witnessed a recurring pattern: industries drifting toward commoditization, treating users and their data as interchangeable units rather than as people whose information carries meaning, context, and rights. That experience now shapes JLINC's mission in the AI era. At the center of the discussion was JLINC's role in data governance for AI workflows, particularly its integration with the emerging vCon (virtual conversation) standard. While much of today's AI governance focuses on compliance frameworks like ISO and NIST, JLINC provides the operational layer—cryptographic provenance, consent enforcement, and auditable controls—that ensures data integrity throughout an AI workflow. As Landsman explained, “We provide the guardrails that make sure what goes in is what comes out—unaltered, authorized, and trustworthy.” This capability becomes especially critical as vCons—often described as a “PDF for conversations”—are increasingly used to capture voice, text, and interaction data that may later feed AI systems, analytics platforms, or even legal proceedings. JLINC ensures that permissions, provenance, and integrity are preserved end to end, preventing errors, hallucinations, or unauthorized changes by either humans or AI systems. In regulated environments such as healthcare, finance, government, and contact centers, Landsman emphasized that this trust layer is not optional—it is foundational. As organizations grapple with growing public skepticism around AI, Landsman positioned JLINC as a practical answer to the trust question. “People are worried their words will be misrepresented or altered,” he said. “Our role is to make sure the data remains clean, provable, and respected—so AI becomes something you can actually trust.” For channel partners, carriers, and enterprises alike, the message was clear: in an AI-driven future, governance is not just about compliance—it's about confidence.

I’m not 100% sure if there ever was a 2025 report, but for no good reason, I checked this week, and voila! There it was. The 2026 edition. I don’t exactly set my watch to the annual State Of Agile report, but it IS very very good. What I like most about it is the data focus. We’re not hearing from pundits or experts. The authors poll 350 organizations with a set of prepared questions about Agile as it is today; in doing so, they’re able to draw contrasts to how it looked in past years. They ask about adoption rates, satisfaction, quality issues or improvements, Agile role definitions, Agile’s impact on planning and business strategy…and the answers give a good internal temperature of how we’re impacting business and technology. Calling Out Trends The State Of Agile Report spends a good amount of space on trending stats. It’s good to know how things ARE, but even better to know where they’re going. There’s been some sharp changes since the last report, and they reflect what you’ve probably been feeling out there in the field. Investment Is Up, But Trust and Quality Are Down When you see all of the layoffs and dried-up opportunities, you’d likely assume that spending on Agile is down. That was the big surprise in the 18th State Of Agile Report…Investment is actually UP. Most companies are increasing or sustaining existing investment in Agile. And yet, we can clearly see that interest is waning. How can this be? Whether its sunk-cost fallacy or the commitment and consistency principle, companies are not ready to cancel all their Agile programs quite yet. For reasons discussed later, there is a lot more order and automation in development operations, and apparently that’s worth spending to keep in place. Buyers Demand Proof of ROI But at the same time, one of the biggest jumps in this year’s State Of Agile Report is the increased scrutiny on Value. Folks want to know – how is Agile impacting my core business metrics? Where is this investment mapped to improved business outcomes? The answer is often “we don’t know”. That’s causing a lot of shifting in how much companies invest – which is why we see roles being eliminated, repurposed, combined or redefined. Three quarters of respondents say there is an increased pressure to defend or prove the ROI of their Agile spend. Three quarters. This is a huge signal. Roles are Changing Most respondents reported that their Agile roles have changed in some small way. A small number have shifted off of Agile tasks altogether, but most have found their roles hybrid-ized with traditional PM or project/product roles. Some have found that the coaching-only role is diminished. Others still report that they are responsible for ensuring Agile has traceability back to business outcomes, as described above. Systems are Nice, But They Don’t Help Make Better Decisions It’s subtle, but its there….what we’ve professed all along is actually supported by data. Systems, tools and processes, while important, take a back seat to business imperatives. Many respondents in the State Of Agile Report describe satisfaction with they’re systems, in terms of visibility into the development pipleine. But again, the link between that pipeline and measurable value is cloudy at best. Ai Can Help (But Maybe Not Yet) But wait! Isn’t AI going to save Agile? Maybe someday, but not quite yet, according to The State of Agile Report. The problem with AI is the spotty, disorganized adoption. Guardrails are few and inadequate. Agentic AI shows promise for automating end-to-end workflows, but only if we treat AI like any other employee or business partner. Reading Between The Lines There’s good news and bad news in The State Of Agile Report. After a quarter-century, Agile has definitely settled in. A lot of what we used to be tresured for has become table-stakes. But the future belongs to those who can become Business Outcomes Partners – those who are able to tie Agile investment to business value.

Let's talk Venezuela - The idea that the US is just going to come in an turn everything rosy is dumb - overly simplistic thesis --- Sets up a bad global potential for overthrowing governments - where does it stop - The idea that US companies are going to go in there and drill and US is going to reimburse for costs? --- The country is allied with Russia and China - not US (at this time) - This is reminiscent of when we opened the doors to Cuba - we opened it up and no one benefited. Maybe this time will be different. - BUT Venezuela owns the largest proven oil reserves in the world, holding approximately 303 billion barrels as of the end of 2024, which is nearly 18–19% of global reserves.

What does it really mean to start over without punishing yourself? Ethan Suplee sits down with Paige Dorian to unpack the emotional and psychological weight of restarting, whether it is after the holidays, a setback, or yet another failed plan. Ethan speaks candidly about crash diets, the illusion of quick fixes, and why weight loss is something to manage, not cure.Together, they explore sustainable habits, realistic readiness, and the importance of support and accountability. This conversation is a grounded reminder that real change comes from compassion, not extremes.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 Starting Over and January Resets02:05 The Gloom of Restarting06:38 Why Crash Diets Fail09:31 Sustainable Change vs Quick Fixes12:17 Mindless Eating and Awareness14:57 Exercise and Unrealistic Expectations19:36 The Readiness Formula24:03 Weight Loss vs Life Improvement26:01 Accountability and Support Systems30:55 Managing Weight for Life36:44 Broadening the Goal Beyond Weight42:19 Compassion, Guardrails, and Self Control48:00 New Year Perspective Hosted on Acast.

Part 1 in the sermon series "Guardrails"

In this message from James 4:11-17, Dr. Kurt Bjorklund reveals how God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble, offering three essential guardrails for the new year: avoiding slander, holding plans with open hands, and embracing godly obligation. Discover how these biblical principles can help you invite God's favor rather than his opposition as you step into the year ahead.Message Summary and Transcript - https://www.orchardhillchurch.com/blog-post/2025/12/29/guardrailsSubscribe to Orchard Hill Plus! - https://orchardhillplus.buzzsprout.com/shareConnect with Orchard Hill ChurchWebsite | https://www.orchardhillchurch.comMobile App | https://https://www.orchardhillchurch.com/appYouTube | https://www.youtube.com/channel/OrchardHillChurchPAFacebook | https://www.facebook.com/orchardhillchurch/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/orchardhillchurch/Twitter | https://twitter.com/orchard_hill

In this episode of ThimbleberryU, we explore a fundamental question for professionals in tech: Which type of company is the right fit for your current stage in life and career? Whether it's a startup, a pre-IPO company, or a public corporation, each environment offers its own opportunities, challenges, and financial implications. Jag walks through the trade-offs with Amy Walls of Thimbleberry Financial, breaking down not only what to expect at each stage but also how to make a decision that aligns with our values, personality, and financial goals.We begin by examining the startup world—fast-paced, creative, and filled with uncertainty. It's a space for people who love to experiment and thrive in ambiguity. The upside can be big: ownership, impact, and equity at low initial prices. But the downsides—unpredictable income, fewer benefits, and emotional strain—are just as real. Amy shares stories of clients who initially thrived in startup life but found it incompatible with long-term needs like family time or structured days.Next, we shift to pre-IPO companies, which often represent a middle ground. These firms offer more stability than startups but still retain a sense of mission and momentum. Equity typically comes in the form of RSUs, and while there's real potential for financial gain, it hinges heavily on IPO timing—something employees can't always control. Amy emphasizes the importance of planning for delays, setting aside cash, and staying flexible when managing that equity.Public companies offer clarity and predictability—stable salaries, strong benefits, and slower but more structured growth paths. For professionals seeking balance, or with greater family or financial obligations, this environment often provides the support and stability they need. The culture tends to be more formal, but that predictability can actually empower people to do their best work.Ultimately, the conversation centers around fit—not which company is best, but which is best for us, right now. Personality, financial goals, and life stage all play a role. A startup might make sense early in a career, while a more structured setting could become the right choice later on. Amy reminds us that romanticizing a company type—or even our own preferences—can lead us astray, and encourages getting honest feedback from those who know us best.We wrap by reinforcing that job decisions should balance financial and emotional fit. Before accepting an offer, it's critical to understand the equity structure, total compensation, pace of work, and company culture. Especially in today's tight job market, doing our due diligence can prevent long-term regret and position us to thrive both professionally and personally.00:00 - Intro and Episode Setup  00:49 - Startup Culture: Opportunity vs. Chaos  03:19 - Pre-IPO Companies: Growth with Guardrails  06:08 - Public Companies: Structure and Stability  09:27 - It's About Fit: Personality and Life Stage  11:43 - Culture, Pace, and Real-Life Trade-offs  13:43 - When the Job Market is Tight  14:17 - Takeaways: Equity, Compensation, and Culture  16:44 - How to Connect with Thimbleberry Financial  16:57 - Disclaimer and Wrap-Up    To get in touch with Amy and her team at Thimbleberry Financial, call 503-610-6510 or visit thimbleberryfinancial.com.

Massive welfare fraud in Minnesota by Somali immigrants was not supposed to happen because of government “guardrails.” Political violence by an Afghan refugee was not supposed to happen because such people were vetted before being allowed into the US. And voter fraud won't be a problem because there are safeguards to prevent it. Those three separate issues all prompt us to ask… What happens when those “guardrails” are missing, the “vetting” is left undone, or the “safeguards” ignored?

As usual in the final episode of the year, we hand out three awards for what we think are some of the finest pieces of information systems scholarship produced this year. Except that this time, we are live at the International Conference on Information Systems in Nashville, Tennessee, in a room packed with our listeners. While this means the quality of the audio of our recording is not so great, the quality of the papers we honor this year is. And with a room full of laughter celebrating great information systems scholarship, we end the year on a high note. Congratulations to Stefan, Christoph, and Jan for winning the Trailblazing Research Award, John and Prasanna for winning the Elegant Scholarship Award, and Yanzhen, Huaxia and Andrew for winning the Innovative Method Award 2025.

TEXT US A COMMENT!Most men think accountability is admitting failure. It is not. Confession without cost is just guilt relief, and it trains you to repeat the same cycle. In this episode we break down what real accountability actually is, what it is not, and why consequences are the missing weapon in most men's lives.“If failure stays cheap, you will keep buying it.”HOW ACCOUNTABILITY WORKSYou need five parts. If you are missing one, it collapses.Standard. What are we measuring. Make it specific.Visibility. Can the truth be verified. Secrets breed weakness.Frequency. How often are we checking. Monthly is fantasy!Consequences. What happens when you fail. Not punishment. But a fixed cost for failing.Restoration. How you rebuild with truth, repentance, and a new plan.REAL WAY TO HAVE ACCOUNTABILITYGive someone permission and dont get butt hurt when they call you out!Step 1. Pick a lane.Choose one area you keep losing in. Name it plainly.Step 2. Set the standard.Write the weekly win condition in one sentence.Step 3. Set visibility.Weekly text/call at minimum or meetup is non-negotiable.If the issue is digital, remove hiding places and add real guardrails.Step 4. Set consequences.When you fail, comfort gets taxed! Pick one consequence that hits fast and hard. Examples include removing a privilege for the week, adding an early training session, service that humbles you, tighter check-ins for seven days, and confession to the person you impactedStep 5. Set restoration.Answer three questions every time. What triggered it. What guardrail gets installed today. What is the replacement action next time.4 WEEK ACCOUNTABILITY TRAINING PLANThis is how you become a man who can actually be held accountable.Week 1. Exposure.Write the real pattern. Triggers, timing, location, mood, device, or cope.Week 2. Guardrails.Cut off access points. Replace weak/loose hours with rigid structure.Week 3. Speed.Shorten the distance between failure and consequence.Week 4. Raise the standard.What used to be a win becomes your new baseline. We are not managing failures. We are killing them.“A man who cannot be corrected, cannot be trusted.”SOTD: James 5:16 (ESV). “ThereforSupport the show TDMP SITE: https://dangerousmanpodcast.com/ Grab some DANGEROUS GEAR in our shop https://dangerousmanpodcast.com/shop/ Support the show for as little as $3 a month https://www.buzzsprout.com/2080275/supporters/new Follow us on X for more shenanigans https://twitter.com/TDMPodcast603 Follow us on Instagram for extra shenanigans https://www.instagram.com/thedangerousmanpodcast/ Connect with Matt Fortin & Rory Lawrence Email us at: thedangerousmanpodcast@gmail.com Remember men...

Can you build healthspan in your 50s, 60s and beyond? In our episode 239 conversation, Jeff Weiss says yes—and he's got the miles to prove it. After his first 10K at 48, Jeff progressed to marathons, ultramarathons, and Ironman triathlons, discovering how structured training within smart guardrails, and the right mindset can unlock cardiovascular fitness, strength, confidence, and cognitive resilience in midlife. We explore practical ways to get started (and keep going), how to balance discomfort vs. danger, and why setting "big, hairy, audacious goals" fuels transformation far beyond sport. Jeffrey Weiss is an entrepreneur, former C-suite leader with a multi-billion-dollar exit, endurance athlete, and author of Racing Against Time: On Ironman, Ultramarathons, and the Quest for Transformation in Midlife. Starting with a first 10K at 48, Jeff progressed to marathons, ultras, and Ironman Arizona, discovering that well-designed guardrails, progressive overload, and recovery can unlock performance and vitality long after 50. He now shares science-informed, experience-tested frameworks that help midlife adults build cardiovascular fitness, strength, and confidence—without heroics or burnout. Jeff speaks and writes about the mindset that sustains big goals (BHAGs), how to distinguish discomfort from danger, and why consistent training ripples into career resilience, cognitive sharpness, and everyday joy.

AI Regulation: The Danger of Fear and the Need for a National Framework — Kevin Fraaser — Fraser critiques the regulatory rush surrounding AI, faulting the EU's approach to establishing guardrails based on "speculative fears" rather than documented harms. He warns against allowing "robophobia"—unfounded fear of artificial intelligence—to drive policy, advocating instead for regulatory focus on beneficial applications including healthcare diagnostics and educational access. Fraaser advocates for a unified U.S. regulatory framework to prevent a fragmented patchwork of state laws and excessive litigation that stifles technological innovation. 1930

#663: We're living through the first era in which an investor can ask a machine to read a decade of SEC filings in seconds. That sounds powerful, but also a little terrifying. Can we trust it? And how do we use it without falling for hallucinations or built-in optimism? In this episode, we dig into the practical, real-world ways AI can strengthen our investing process while avoiding its biggest pitfalls. If you've ever wondered how to blend old-school fundamentals with new-school tools, this conversation will open up an entirely new mental model. Our guest is Brian Feroldi, an investor who has spent more than twenty years doing classic, deep-dive fundamental research. He reads SEC filings for fun, and he's embraced AI not as a stock picker, but as a force multiplier that can turn days of research into minutes. We talk about the specific guardrails that make AI useful for fundamental investors, including restricting sources to trusted filings, designing step-by-step instructions, and assigning the AI a role so it knows how to “think.” We also explore how to stress-test optimism bias, how to analyze companies like a forensic accountant or a short seller, and how to build prompts that match your own investing personality. Whether you're an index-fund loyalist with a little “fun money” or a hands-on analyst, this conversation will expand the way you evaluate businesses and make decisions. Key Takeaways How a single prompt can transform AI from a loose generalist into a sharp, reliable research assistant.
 The surprising way optimism bias shows up in AI tools, and how to flip it to your advantage.
 Why limiting your data sources can make your analysis dramatically stronger.
 The role-play trick that helps you see a company the way a short seller, value investor, or even Warren Buffett might.
 A simple reframing that turns AI from a stock picker into something far more powerful for decision-making.
 The moment in the demo that revealed a blind spot even seasoned investors often miss.
