Podcasts about guardrails

In this episode, we dive into Pastor Troy's message on the beauty of boundaries and the freedom they bring. Boundaries aren't prison walls, they're God's guardrails to guide and protect us. We also talk about the danger of unforgiveness, how it can trap us, and why forgiveness, towards others and ourselves, is essential for living in true freedom. Join us as we unpack practical examples, personal stories, and biblical truth that will challenge and encourage you to walk in God's protection and grace.

Gary Vee makes a bold claim about the future of podcasting. On Jamie Kern Lima's show, he predicted that creators will soon build AI co-hosts that could become bigger and more influential than the hosts themselves. We explore what that vision could mean for podcasters, starting with the opportunities it presents, as well as the ethical concerns surrounding trust and control. We touch on creativity, responsibility, and the role of real human connection. And since it's Friday, we wrap up by sharing our wins of the week that remind us why we keep showing up.Episode Highlights: [04:32] Gary Vee's Bold Prediction[06:12] Debating the Future of AI in Podcasting[24:07] AI in Education and Business[30:39] Creative Uses of AI for Promotion[34:36] Guardrails and Ethical Considerations in AI[38:37] Intellectual Property and AI[43:59] Wins from the WeekLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Dopey Podcast in Rolling Stone: https://bit.ly/4n6OT69Gary Vee On The Jamie Kern Lima Show: www.tiktok.com/@jamiekernlimaofficial/video/7547315256004070711Remember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

"Pride, Protection, and Peter Mapping the Biblical Guardrails" by Dr. Bobby Allen, provides spiritual advice focused on maintaining one's faith and avoiding sin. The primary message, derived from 1 Corinthians 10:12, is a warning that believers must remain vigilant against spiritual failure, emphasizing that vulnerability to sin affects everyone, regardless of experience. Dr. Allen outlines four key methods for believers to prevent falling: remaining humble and alert, anchoring their lives in Scripture as a guiding light, carefully choosing godly companions who offer accountability, and depending solely on God's strength rather than personal might. Crucially, the sermon also offers comfort by stressing that if a person does stumble, God's grace and mercy are sufficient for restoration and renewal.

Adrian and Bri unpack: The true definition of authenticity (beyond “just being yourself”) The hidden costs of living authentically—and the freedom it brings Why vulnerability is essential to authenticity How leaders can model authenticity without oversharing Guardrails that keep authenticity from becoming performance Why authenticity is the key to trust, connection, and real growth This episode is a challenge to stop performing, let go of the need for approval, and step into the wholeness of living authentically.

Guest: Rick Caccia, CEO and Co-Founder, Witness AI Topics: In what ways is the current wave of enterprise AI adoption different from previous technology shifts? If we say “but it is different this time”, then why? What is your take on “consumer grade AI for business” vs enterprise AI? A lot of this sounds a bit like the CASB era circa 2014. How is this different with AI?  The concept of "routing prompts for risk and cost management" is intriguing. Can you elaborate on the architecture and specific AI engines Witness AI uses to achieve this, especially for large global corporations?  What are you seeing in the identity space for AI access? Can you give us a rundown of the different tradeoffs teams are making when it comes to managing identities for agents?  Resources: EP226 AI Supply Chain Security: Old Lessons, New Poisons, and Agentic Dreams EP173 SAIF in Focus: 5 AI Security Risks and SAIF Mitigations EP84 How to Secure Artificial Intelligence (AI): Threats, Approaches, Lessons So Far Witness AI blog Shadow Agents: A New Era of Shadow AI Risk in the Enterprise Blocking shadow agents won't work.

Artificial intelligence is giving Daniel Barcay a sense of DeJa'Vu. He's the executive director of the Center for Humane Technology, and co-host of the podcast Your Undivided Attention. When social media first hit the internet so many people talked about it revolutionizing how we connect. What could possibly go wrong? Social media produced the most anxious and depressed generation we've ever seen. Barcay says we have to do better with AI and now is the moment as design choices being made today will shape AI for generations to come. He says AI is our chance to step back and prove we can use technology with wisdom.

In this episode of More Than Commas, Cory explores one of the most overlooked roles of a financial advisor: protecting clients from their own instincts. It's not just about picking investments or predicting the market, it's about acting as a guardrail when fear and desire tempt us into costly mistakes. Cory illustrates how emotions drive poor financial decisions, from panic-selling during downturns to chasing trends at market peaks. Advisors provide perspective, discipline, and strategy, ensuring clients stay aligned with their long-term goals. Using vivid analogies, Cory shows how advisors add real value, especially during turbulent times. He challenges listeners to rethink what they expect from an advisor, focusing less on promised returns and more on partnership, clarity, and peace of mind in building a life that truly matters.   -- Timestamps: 00:50 – March 2020: emotions vs. the market 01:40 – Fear, desire & behavioral finance traps 02:50 – Advisors as guardrails against bad decisions 04:10 – Why outside perspective matters in money decisions 05:20 – Guardrails, budgets & freedom through discipline 06:40 – Advisors as chefs: strategy vs. randomness 07:50 – Final takeaway: advisors help you live better, not just invest better   -- This Material is Intended for General Public Use.

In Episode 107 we unpack the “GenAI divide”: why enterprise rollouts stall while employees quietly get value from consumer tools; how to kill vanity metrics and track real outcomes; when to buy vs. build; and what it takes to scale agentic AI safely (orchestration, MCP, human-in-the-loop at the hard edges, full observability, reversibility). We close with an industry reality check and a concrete playbook of where value is landing first.Why the GenAI Divide Matters: Discussing the hype vs. value problem and what “real impact” means for the P&L.

This week in the Guardrails series, Pastor Scott Engebretson explores the often-overlooked final part of the Nicene Creed, which confesses Jesus's return. He begins by recounting a personal story about his childhood vision of a hoverboard, which he uses to illustrate our human tendency to hope for the future. The sermon emphasizes that looking forward to Jesus's return provides a "stabilizing work" in our lives and a "right perspective" for living in the present. Pastor Scott concludes by encouraging listeners to live fully today, not just for the hope of tomorrow. For more information about the church, please visit Northwestvineyard.org .

Most physicians dream of independence but dread the isolation and heavy lift of running a solo practice. What if there were a way to share infrastructure, lighten the load, and still maintain your autonomy? In this episode, Dr. Disha Spath sits down with special interviewer Dr. Dan Sooriabalan and guest Dr. Natalie Gentile to explore how managed services organizations (MSOs) can strengthen direct primary care practices. From sharing cross-coverage to negotiating employer contracts, she shares how she and her partner built a collaborative model that supports physicians while keeping patient care personal.  This conversation is packed with lessons on leadership, partnership, and building something bigger than yourself! Key Topics Covered: 1. The Hidden Price of 401K Breaking down what a managed services organization is and why it matters for direct primary care. 2. From Vaccine Clinics to Direct Primary Care Collaboration How grassroots community efforts during the pandemic sparked the creation of Pittsburgh's first DPC-focused MSO. 3. Shared Pain Points, Shared Solutions Cross-coverage, marketing, vaccine acquisition, mentorship—how an MSO makes solo practice less lonely. 4. The Business Side of Medicine Legal guardrails, employer contracts, and the financial realities of keeping physician ownership at the center. 5. Scaling Without Selling Out Why Natalie and her co-founder built their MSO without private equity—and how they're keeping it mission-driven. 6. Not a One-Size-Fits All Why MSOs aren't one-size-fits-all and what to consider before starting one in your own region. Listener Takeaways: MSOs (Managed Services Organizations) give DPC doctors shared infrastructure—like marketing, cross-coverage, and legal support—without sacrificing independence. Collaboration often starts with small, local initiatives (like community vaccine clinics) before scaling into sustainable models. Legal and financial guardrails are essential to keep physicians—not private equity—at the center of ownership. Quarterly case reviews, mentorship, and camaraderie help prevent isolation and burnout in solo practice.

On this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck explores the frustrations of the “mainstream middle” in red states and why Democrats can't seem to reach them, even as discontent with the country grows. From the poisonous information ecosystem that radicalizes voters to the outsized influence of social media and big tech money in Washington, the conversation digs into how extremism thrives while moderation is punished. Chuck also examines the rise of independents, the possibility of a third-party shake-up, and how redistricting battles in California, Missouri, and Georgia could reshape the political map. With major races in New Jersey and Virginia looming, and Democrats struggling to find the right message, the episode highlights both the dangers and the opportunities in an increasingly unsettled political landscape.Then, Chuck sits down with Brian Bengs, who challenged John Thune in South Dakota and is running for senate as an independent, and Todd Achilles, an independent from Idaho, to explore what it really means to run outside the two-party system. They open up about why they chose independence, the challenges of campaigning in red states where the word “Democrat” is a nonstarter, and the dysfunction they see as the product of both parties. From tariffs hurting farmers to the growing cost of attention in politics, the conversation highlights how America's political and economic systems reward division and extremism over pragmatism and compromise.The discussion also tackles the bigger picture: whether the Republican Party could split between MAGA and traditional conservatives, why democracy no longer serves as a pressure release valve, and how corporate power and money in politics further erode trust. Bengs and Achilles share lessons from Ross Perot's run, their views on immigration reform, and the importance of building bipartisan relationships in an age where the middle is punished. For them, independence isn't just about rejecting partisanship—it's about offering voters an alternative path forward in a system that too often feels broken.Finally, Chuck gives his ToddCast Top 5 states that could elect an independent candidate to the U.S. Senate and answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.Got injured in an accident?

On this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck sits down with Brian Bengs, who challenged John Thune in South Dakota and is running for senate as an independent, and Todd Achilles, an independent from Idaho, to explore what it really means to run outside the two-party system. They open up about why they chose independence, the challenges of campaigning in red states where the word “Democrat” is a nonstarter, and the dysfunction they see as the product of both parties. From tariffs hurting farmers to the growing cost of attention in politics, the conversation highlights how America's political and economic systems reward division and extremism over pragmatism and compromise.The discussion also tackles the bigger picture: whether the Republican Party could split between MAGA and traditional conservatives, why democracy no longer serves as a pressure release valve, and how corporate power and money in politics further erode trust.

Today we break down why “influencer marketing” (renting audience) is losing to creator-based marketing (renting skill at making viral content) — and how to run it like a system. Guest Robert Lukoszko, founder of Stormy AI, shows how their agent finds creators, pulls contacts, sends DMs/emails, follows up, and even negotiates packages before you step in. We get tactical on budgets, pricing, UGC hiring, TikTok vs YouTube strategy, measurement, and building a compounding “surface-area” of content across the web. Brought to you by Graphed.com — connect your data, ask in plain English, ship shareable dashboards.GuestWebsite: stormy.ai Robert Lukoszko — LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/karmedge X (Twitter): @Karmedge What you'll learnCreator vs Influencer marketing: Why FYP-driven platforms reward great content over big followings — and how to “rent” creators' skill instead of their audience.The scalable workflow: Brief → research → outreach (DM/email) → qualify → negotiate packages → handoff to human for final approval.TikTok UGC machine: Hire 1–3 full-time UGC creators posting 2–3 shorts per day; test cheaply, then double down on breakout templates.YouTube packages that work: Three-video bundles over ~6 weeks build trust & lift; use retainers for your top performers.Negotiation scripts that convert: Lead with “Paid collaboration” in subject/first line, anchor on value, and offer volume/retainer discounts.Pricing reality check: Typical UGC test pieces land in the ~$20–$100/video range (many sweet-spot wins at $20–$50) for micro/nano creators; salaried UGC in EU markets often $1–2k/mo part-time depending on output and quality.Compounding effects: Viral videos spawn follower videos; repeated sightings increase creator reply-rates and lower CPAs.Agents as team members: Why modern stacks look like small pods of engineers orchestrating many narrow agents (research, outreach, follow-ups, CRM status, stop-conditions).Chapters & Timestamps00:00:00 — Cold open: “Stop influencer marketing.

Paid collaboration: 1 test short this week (${offer}) + option to extend to 3-video bundle over 6 weeks. You keep creative control; we provide brief + examples. Interested? If yes, quick details + rate card?”Negotiation levers: volume (3-pack → 6-pack), multi-month cadence (1/mo), affiliate top-ups on performance, first-video discount, creative templates proven to hit.UGC hiring filter: Look for micro/nano creators (10k–50k) with at least one breakout (e.g., 500k+ views) in your niche; they have the “spark” but are still rationally priced. (Stormy highlights this pattern in search/fit scoring.) Key quotes (pull-ready)“Creator marketing rents skill at making viral content — not just an audience.”“It's a numbers game twice: mass outreach, then mass posting — let the winners emerge.”“Lead with ‘Paid collaboration' so creators instantly know there's budget.”“Templates win.

Future regrets can be avoided if we choose to put those guardrails in place now.Why We Often Don't Have GuardrailsWe avoid setting personal guardrails because we think they'll limit our freedom. But the truth is, no guardrails doesn't mean no tension — it means chaos, destruction, complications, and deeper consequences. Culture isn't going to help us here. It won't encourage you to stay on track. Culture will bait you toward the edge and then mock you when you fall off.We have to decide ahead of time where our lines are — make up our minds before we know the end of our story.Daniel's Guardrails Invited God's FavorDaniel and his friends were exiles in Babylon, living in a godless culture. When offered the royal food and wine, Daniel “made up his mind” not to defile himself. This was his guardrail.Daniel's response initiated God's response.“But Daniel…” became “Now God…”While Daniel didn't know it, God was already moving on his behalf behind the scenes.Verse 9 says:“Now God had given the chief of staff both respect and affection for Daniel.”God was actively working to bring Daniel and his three friends favor with the king's officials. Daniel's obedience activated the supernatural.He didn't see immediate results in verse 10 — and neither do we always see instant miracles — but God was still working the entire time.Whether the miracle comes now or not until eternity, God is always moving on behalf of those who trust Him.Faith Tested and ProvenDaniel respectfully asked to be tested for ten days on only vegetables and water. At the end of the test, Daniel and his friends were healthier and stronger than all the others.Because they kept their guardrails, God gave them unusual wisdom and understanding — and gave Daniel the special ability to interpret dreams.King Nebuchadnezzar found none equal to them. He placed them in royal service, and this favor launched a chain of miraculous events: fiery furnaces, lion's dens, and the power of God displayed to entire nations — and it all started with one decision.Guardrails Release the Favor of GodIf you don't actively look for the hand of God, you'll miss it. You'll only see the chaos and evil around you. But guardrails release the favor of God.“The integrity of the upright guides them,but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.”— Proverbs 11:3Daniel's integrity guided him. He refused to compromise.And God responded with supernatural movement and lasting influence.The Challenge for UsLike Daniel, we have to decide.We must put guardrails in place before the temptation comes.If we refuse, it won't remove tension — it will only weaken our ability to say no.God will honor your decisions.God will react with favor.God will respond with supernatural movement.But you have to reject the lie that life without guardrails is freedom.In reality, no guardrails means:chaosdestructionmore complicationsdeeper consequencesDaniel still faced the lions' den — which shows us something vital:Sometimes when it feels like God is breaking you, He's actually building you.Final WordYou will never know what God wants to do through you until you do what Daniel did:Make up your mind.Choose your guardrails now.God will use them not just to protect you — but to direct you.Your decisions today can shape the future of kingdoms, nations, and hearts.It only takes one choice of obedience to start the ripple.

In this message from the 'Guardrails' series, Pastor Scott Engebretson focuses on the purpose of Jesus's coming: "For us men and our salvation, he came down from heaven." He explains the two realities of Jesus: He is both the eternal Son (God) and the incarnate Son (man) . The sermon emphasizes that Jesus came for a very specific purpose—to seek and save those who are lost. Pastor Scott encourages listeners to live out the "V-shaped life" of Christ, where God descends to meet us in the messiness of our lives, ultimately so we can be free.

In this solo episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I dive into one of the greatest challenges facing parents today: raising kids in the digital age. Between iPhones, TikTok, YouTube, and even AI tools like ChatGPT, technology is moving at lightning speed—and as fathers, we can't afford to bury our heads in the sand.   I share three powerful strategies that will help you set the right boundaries for your kids without putting them in “tech prison.” From creating guardrails with apps like Bark, to implementing a family tech contract, to modeling discipline with our own devices, this episode is about protecting our kids while also preparing them to navigate the digital world with responsibility and confidence.     TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome to the Dad Edge movement and today's focus on raising kids in the digital age [1:02] - Why technology is moving faster than parents can keep up [2:11] - Why this generation is the first to face AI, smartphones, and social media all at once [3:08] - Introducing Dad Edge Alliance and Boardroom Brotherhood for fathers [4:00] - Strategy #1: Set guardrails, not walls, around tech use [4:58] - The rookie mistake of limiting apps without realizing kids just switch platforms [6:12] - Workarounds kids use to bypass phone restrictions [7:05] - Why apps like Bark provide a real solution for parents [7:25] - Strategy #2: Create a family tech contract with clear boundaries and accountability [8:42] - Examples of contracts around bedtime, screen-free zones, and check-ins [8:59] - Strategy #3: Model discipline by living the same tech rules as your kids [9:56] - Why hypocrisy in tech rules undermines your authority [11:14] - Setting boundaries with work and modeling digital discipline at home [12:22] - The Bark app, Bark phone, and Bark watch explained [14:05] - Why I don't allow TikTok or YouTube for my younger kids [14:54] - The Bark watch for younger kids as a safe, affordable option [15:31] - Final recap of the three strategies for digital parenting [16:13] - Closing encouragement and link to resources     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Guardrails Beat Walls Complete restriction creates rebellion. Guardrails, not tech prisons, teach kids to manage technology responsibly while keeping them safe. 2. Apps Aren't Foolproof Kids can and will find workarounds. Relying only on built-in phone restrictions isn't enough—you need smarter tools like Bark to stay ahead. 3. Contracts Create Clarity A family tech contract sets clear expectations for screen time, apps, and accountability. Clarity prevents arguments and keeps kids accountable. 4. Model the Discipline You Preach If you tell your kids “no phones at dinner,” but you're scrolling, the rule collapses. Fathers must live the same digital discipline they demand. 5. Your Kids' Tech Is Your Business Phones, apps, and online behavior aren't private property for minors. Fathers must stay engaged, set boundaries, and protect their kids in the digital age.       LINKS & RESOURCES   Bark App & Devices (Protect your kids online): https://www.thedadedge.com/bark Episode Show Notes Page: https://www.thedadedge.com/1377 Dad Edge Podcast Website: https://www.thedadedge.com/podcast Join The Alliance (career-driven dads): https://www.thedadedge.com/alliance Dad Edge Boardroom (entrepreneurial dads): https://www.thedadedge.com/boardroom 25 Questions to Spark Connection With Your Partner: https://www.thedadedge.com/25questions     If this episode gave you clarity on parenting in the digital age, please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

The most successful enterprises are about to become autonomous — and Eléonore Crespo, Co-CEO of Pigment, is building the nervous system that makes it possible. In this conversation, Eléonore reveals how her $400 million AI platform is already running supply chains for Coca-Cola, powering finance for the hottest newly public companies like Figma and Klarna, and processing thousands of financial scenarios for Uber and Snowflake faster and more accurately than any human team ever could.Eléonore predicts Excel will outlive most AI companies (but maybe only as a user interface, not a calculation engine) explains why she deliberately chose to build from Paris instead of Silicon Valley, and shares her contrarian take on why the AI revolution will create more CFOs, not fewer.You'll discover why Pigment's three-agent system (Analyst, Modeler, Planner) avoids the hallucination problems plaguing other AI companies, how they achieved human-level accuracy in financial analysis, and the accelerating timeline for fully autonomous enterprise planning that will make your current workforce obsolete.PigmentWebsite - https://www.pigment.comTwitter - https://x.com/gopigmentEléonore CrespoLinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/eleonorecrespoFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comTwitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) Intro (01:22) Building Pigment: 500 Employees, $400M Raised, 60% US Revenue (03:20) From Quantum Physics to Google to Index Ventures (06:56) Why Being a VC Was the Perfect Founder Training Ground (11:35) The Impatience Factor: What Makes Great Founders (13:27) Hiring for AI Fluency in the Modern Enterprise (14:54) Pigment's Internal AI Strategy: Committees and Guardrails (17:30) The Three AI Agents: Analyst, Modeler, and Planner (22:15) Why Three Agents Instead of One: Technical Architecture (24:10) Agent Coordination: How the Supervisor Agent Works (24:46) Real Example: Budget Variance Analysis Across 50 Products (27:15) The Human-in-the-Loop Approach: Recommendations Not Actions (27:36) Solving Hallucination: Why Structured Data Changes Everything (30:08) Behind the Scenes: Verification Agents and Audit Trails (31:57) Beyond Accuracy: Enabling the Impossible at Scale (36:21) Will AI Finally Kill Excel?
