Alan is joined by the multi-talented Dr. Brady Smith, a dentist, standup comedian, and social media sensation. They dive into Dr. Smith's fascinating dual career, exploring whether he's a dentist who does comedy or a comedian who does dentistry, ultimately concluding he's a highly successful dual-profession guy. Dr. Smith shares his journey from running the noble but challenging Halo Dental Network charity—which led to his earlier podcast—to receiving a $15,000 piece of coaching advice that transformed his career: get on TikTok and be the face of his brand. He details his rapid rise to social media fame, the freedom it gives him to be authentic, and how he handles both the viral success and the inevitable "haters," including dealing with board complaints about his unique (and fully legal) "Laughing My Gas Off" podcast where he cleans celebrity and comic's teeth while they're on nitrous oxide. They also discuss the pressures and mental toll of dental practice, the difference between how dental professionals and the general public value dentistry, and Dr. Smith's successful experiment with a twice-weekly, 16-hour workday schedule. Dr. Smith offers advice to patients to "keep trying" to find a dentist they can relate to and encourages his peers to "stop sucking so bad" and be more approachable.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Paul Sztorc, CEO of Layer2 Labs, about Bitcoin's evolution, the limitations of the Lightning Network, and how his ideas for drivechains and merge-mined sidechains could transform scalability and privacy on the Bitcoin network. They cover everything from Zcash's zero-knowledge proofs and “moon math” to the block size wars, sound money, and the economic realities behind crypto hype cycles. Paul also explains his projects like Zside and Thunder, which aim to bring features like Zcash-style privacy and high-speed transactions to Bitcoin. Listeners can try Layer2 Labs' software or learn more at layer2labs.com/download.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop opens with Paul Sztorc from Layer2 Labs, discussing the connection between Bitcoin and Zcash and how privacy could be added through zero-knowledge proofs.05:00 Paul critiques early Layer 2s like Rootstock and Lightning, calling many “not real” or custodial, and compares the current scene to the .com bubble.10:00 They explore media hype, Silicon Valley culture, and crypto's cycles of optimism and collapse, mentioning Theranos, FTX, and fake-it-till-you-make-it culture.15:00 Conversation shifts to sound money, government spending, and how Bitcoin could improve fiscal responsibility, referencing Milton Friedman's ideas.20:00 Paul questions Bitcoin treasury companies like MicroStrategy, explaining flawed incentives and better direct ownership logic.25:00 They move into geopolitics and The Sovereign Individual, discussing borders, state control, and the future of digital sovereignty.30:00 Paul explains zero-knowledge proofs, Zcash's “moon math,” and the evolution from sapling to Halo 2 for better privacy.35:00 The topic turns to drivechains, BIP300, and Layer2 Labs' projects like Zside and Thunder, built for real Bitcoin scalability.40:00 Paul explains why Lightning fails, liquidity limits, and why true scaling requires optional L2s with large block capacity.45:00 They discuss the block size war, merge mining, and how miners and nodes interact in Bitcoin's structure.50:00 Paul breaks down the Merkle tree, block headers, and SHA-256 puzzles miners race to solve for proof-of-work.55:00 The episode closes with how L1–L2 coordination works, the mechanics of slow withdrawals, and secondary markets in drivechains.Key InsightsBitcoin's privacy gap and Zcash's influence: Paul Sztorc begins by explaining how Bitcoin lacks true privacy since senders, receivers, and amounts are visible on-chain. He describes Zcash as a model for achieving anonymity through zero-knowledge proofs and explains how Layer2 Labs aims to bring that same level of privacy to Bitcoin without introducing a new altcoin or token.The failure of current Layer 2 solutions: Paul argues that existing Bitcoin Layer 2s like Lightning and Rootstock are flawed—either custodial, inefficient, or deceptive. He compares today's crypto landscape to the dot-com bubble, full of overhyped projects and scams that will collapse before the genuine solutions survive.Sound money and political accountability: The discussion expands beyond technology to economics, as Paul highlights how unsustainable government debt and spending distort incentives. He believes Bitcoin could restore discipline to fiscal systems by forcing real accounting and limiting the political capacity to inflate or borrow endlessly.Corporate Bitcoin strategies are often misguided: Paul criticizes companies like MicroStrategy for treating Bitcoin as a speculative treasury asset instead of using it for real utility. He argues that investors should just buy Bitcoin directly rather than buy shares in companies that hold it, since intermediaries introduce unnecessary risk, fees, and opacity.Drivechains as Bitcoin's missing scalability link: Sztorc presents drivechains, outlined in his proposal BIP300, as the practical way to scale Bitcoin. Drivechains allow multiple Layer 2s to exist simultaneously, each optimized for specific features like privacy, larger blocks, or smart contracts, all while using the same 21 million BTC.Lightning Network's structural limitations: Paul dismantles Lightning's core assumptions, pointing out that it cannot scale globally because each channel requires on-chain transactions and constant liquidity maintenance. He calls Lightning a “Theranos of Bitcoin,” arguing that it distracts the community from genuine, scalable innovation.Merge mining and the path to Bitcoin's future: The episode concludes with Paul describing merge mining as the mechanism that unites L1 and L2 securely, letting miners earn more revenue without extra work. He envisions a Bitcoin ecosystem where optional, diverse L2s provide privacy, speed, and flexibility—anchored by a lean, reliable L1 base.

On this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore sits down with Logan Chierotti, founder of Physician's Choice supplements, to dig into the in's and out's of building a high-growth company in the HALO space. Logan discusses his journey from working in digital marketing to launching what is now the top probiotic brand on Amazon, with annual revenues approaching $250 million. He opens up about the importance of focusing on value and science-backed products, the challenges of navigating both e-com and retail distribution, and the lessons learned in building a top-tier executive team. Whether you're a health club operator considering selling supplements or an entrepreneur looking for growth tips, you'll want to hear Logan's takeaways on company culture, self-awareness, and long-term success in a rapidly evolving, highly-competitive space. When it comes to educating customers beyond just price, Logan states, "We wanted to give consumers value. And what's nice is with the Internet or e-commerce or even . . . med spas or health clubs, is you can educate the consumer more, right? They come into your store or they come online and you have all the marketing there so you can really educate them as opposed to just dropping your product in Walmart, which is a pure brand or commodity game. People are buying there based on price or based on packaging, versus when you control the distribution channels, you can educate them a lot more." Key themes discussed Transition from e-commerce to retail distribution strategies. Building a high-quality executive and leadership team. Navigating retailer partnerships and managing risk. Importance of a singular brand focus: Probiotics and gut health. Educating versus marketing to the consumer. Value and growth of subscription business models. Founder self-awareness and letting go of ego. A Few Key Takeaways:  1. Hyper-Growth Through Strategic Focus: Logan shared how Physician's Choice grew quickly by narrowing their initial focus to just probiotics and gut health. Rather than trying to be everything to everyone, they became the top probiotic brand by focusing on a science-backed, in-demand supplement. 2. Controlling Distribution—Don't Chase Every Retailer: Logan emphasized the importance of controlling your own distribution channels, especially in the early stages. He cautioned against being seduced by “sexy” big box retail deals, which often shift risk onto the product provider and can become a logistical and financial nightmare. Physician's Choice only says yes to retailers who agree to their terms. 3. Value-Driven Brand Built on Education: The brand positioned itself as a value brand—affordable, yet backed by science and trust in the name. They focused on educating consumers through controlled channels like e-commerce and social media rather than relying on traditional retail, where purchasing decisions are much more driven by price and packaging. 4. Building a Strong Executive Team: Chierotti's biggest learning was recognizing his own strengths and weaknesses early. He surrounded himself with a high-level executive team, brought in a CEO when the company reached a certain size, and freely gave equity to key hires. He stressed that hiring smart people and getting out of their way was crucial to scaling up. 5. The Power and Patience of the Subscription Model: About 40-50% of Physician's Choice revenue comes from subscriptions—compounded over years. Logan pointed out how businesses (health clubs, supplement companies, etc.) often underestimate how long and compounding subscription revenue can take to build, but if you stick with it and focus on customer retention, the growth will come.

All anyone wants to talk about right now is Electronic Arts, and reasonably so. The American publishing titan is on the verge of being purchased by external interests for $55 billion, and when we say external, we mean it. The major player in reverting EA to a private corporation is Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, muddying this already complex deal that also happens to be the largest leveraged buyout in human history. Perhaps not surprisingly, this gives us much to pontificate on. Other news this week includes rumblings of a DualSense revision with a removable battery, the very real potential that a Prototype remaster is imminent, the wisdom (or perhaps lack thereof) in Forza Horizon 6 skipping PlayStation 5 at launch, and more. We then get into listener inquiries to wrap up the show, as we always do. What are our thoughts on Xbox's staggering Game Pass price hike? How do we feel about Magic: The Gathering's stylish new collaboration with PlayStation? Is Destiny officially on death's door? Will Dustin have a coffee named after him at a cafe in Texas?

Scientists have estimated that the planet's radius has contracted by between 2.7 to 5.6 kilometres due to cooling-induced faulting. This study employs new methods to provide a more accurate understanding of Mercury's long-term thermal history, which could also be applied to other planetary bodies, including Mars.NASA's Carruthers Geocorona ObservatoryNASA has launched the Carruthers Geocorona Observatory to study Earth's invisible halo, the exosphere. This mission aims to capture the first continuous observations of the Geocorona, revealing the dynamics of hydrogen atoms escaping into space. Understanding the exosphere's response to solar activity is crucial for predicting space weather events that could affect astronauts on missions to the Moon and beyond. The observatory will provide insights into how Earth retains water and may even aid in the search for exoplanets with similar atmospheric conditions.Insights from Martian Meteorite NWA 16254A meteorite discovered in the Zaharov Desert is shedding light on Mars's ancient volcanic systems. The rock, classified as NWA 16254, offers unprecedented insights into the planet's magmatic processes, indicating a two-stage crystallisation process that occurred under varying pressure conditions. This discovery could help scientists understand Mars's thermal history and its volcanic evolution over billions of years, raising questions about the planet's past and its potential for hosting life.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAGU Advanceshttps://agu.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/23337380NASA Geocorona Observatoryhttps://www.nasa.gov/Planetary Science Journalhttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/2632-3338Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.Mercury's Ongoing ShrinkageNASA's Carruthers Geocorona ObservatoryInsights from Martian Meteorite NWA 16254

Released towards the end of the Nintendo 64's lifespan in 2000, Perfect Dark was the culmination of several years of FPS development on consoles.  After Rare released Goldeneye in 1997, they wanted to take another spin at the formula, but this time with an original IP.  Enter Perfect Dark, featuring many of the cornerstones of FPS design that defined Goldeneye, but far more refined.The game featured more varied level design, a ridiculous selection of weapons, improved enemy AI (with a wider range of reactions to damage) and more advanced scripting.  No longer tied down to realism, Rare was free to throw in sci-fi weapons and surreal alien environments.  And this extended to the story as well, which went to some absolutely wild places.But for all its improvements upon Goldeneye, is there a fatal flaw at the heart of N64 FPS design?  Or is it just an awkward middle child, playing in the shadows of both the PC behemoths and the specter of Halo?On this episode, we discuss:Level DesignPerfect Dark retains the mission structure of Goldeneye, with multiple objectives set in short and sharp missions.  Do the improved and better explained mission objectives bring a clarity to the mission design that Goldeneye lacked, or is it still confusing and incoherent?GunsPerfect Dark has an absolute plethora of weapons, from guided rocket launchers to wallhack alien sniper rifles.  Does its wide variety of weapons provide a deep and replayable moment to moment gameplay experience, or is it undone by its identity as a hitscan FPS?EnemiesMost of the enemies you face in Perfect Dark are regular humans, who die in a single headshot.  What does the game do to add challenge and variety to the FPS hitscanning experience of clicking on heads, and is it way too easy with a mouse and keyboard?We answer these questions and many more on the 134th episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast!—Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen KOutro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to anotherPerfect Dark OST: Grant Kirkhope—What was your favourite level in Perfect Dark?  Are there any indie FPS games coming out (or already out) that are evocative of its design?  Did you find there was anything at all remotely redeeming about the story?  Come let us know what you think on our community discord server!You can support the show monetarily on our Buy me a Coffee Page!

Mitchell Frederick - Null Halo (Original Mix) www.nocturnalradio.live // www.mitchellfrederick.com Look at me… don't look away, We've both been hiding, But the night won't keep secrets. Null halo… burning slow, Your body tells me all I need to know, Breath is heavy, shadows show, Stay right here, don't let go. Your eyes cut through the flashing light, Searching for something that feels right, Every move is a truth you confess, Every touch takes away the rest. The world outside can wait till dawn, Right now it's just us and the song, Skin on skin, hearts collide, The night's alive — nothing to hide. Closer… slower… Deeper… lower… Null halo… burning slow, Your body tells me all I need to know, Breath is heavy, shadows show, Stay right here, don't let go. One more touch… One more taste… Lose the fear… Erase the space. Hands explore where words won't dare, Heat in the dark, we find it there, Every heartbeat keeps the time, Your rhythm tangled into mine. No past, no lies, no blame, Only the spark, only the flame, If love exists, it sounds like this — One breath held, one endless kiss. Null halo… (hold me slow) Burning slow… (don't let go) Breath is heavy… (let it flow) Stay right here… (never say no). #Techno #TechHouse #DanceMusic #MelodicTechno #ElectronicMusic #HouseMusic #DJLife #RaveCulture #UndergroundMusic #MusicProduction #DanceVibes #FestivalSeason #Beatport #SoundCloud #MusicLovers #ClubMusic #DeepHouse #TechnoFamily #MelodicHouse #EDM #DJSet #LiveDJ #MusicMix #VinylRecords #PartyVibes #BassMusic #Trance #MusicCommunity #Dancefloor #ElectronicDanceMusic

Send us a textHave you ever noticed how certain songs can instantly transport you to specific moments in your life, triggering powerful emotions and memories? This phenomenon lies at the heart of music's profound impact on our mental health—a topic David and Matt explore by sharing their personal favorite songs that make them feel good.Selecting just a handful of favorites proves nearly impossible as both hosts struggle to narrow down their extensive musical preferences. David's selections include Depeche Mode's "Halo," Queen's "The Show Must Go On," and The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby," each choice accompanied by personal connections and meaningful backstories. Matt counters with his love for The Chemical Brothers, Gene Vincent's "Be-Bop-A-Lula," and an hour-and-a-half Fatboy Slim concert that sustained him through COVID lockdowns.The episode features a heartwarming "Winner of the Week" story about Kent Broussard, who at age 66 fulfilled his childhood dream of joining LSU's marching band. After watching them perform as a nine-year-old in 1968, Kent carried this aspiration for decades. Upon approaching retirement, he enrolled in college, relearned the tuba, began intensive physical training, and successfully auditioned—becoming the band's oldest member by 41 years. His story perfectly encapsulates the theme that music can inspire and fulfill us at any stage of life.Throughout their conversation, David and Matt touch on music's ability to forge connections between people, create shared experiences, and provide comfort during difficult times. Whether it's a song that becomes special between partners or a playlist that keeps you going through global uncertainty, music's therapeutic benefits extend far beyond mere entertainment.What songs make you feel better when you hear them?

In today's episode, host Pete Moore sits down with returning guest Jason Moore, CEO and founder of Spren (formerly Elite HRV.) Jason shares the journey of his company's cutting-edge technology, which transforms any smartphone into an advanced biomarker and body composition analysis tool. With over a million users and thousands of coaches trained, Spren's platform is accelerating how gyms, coaches, and fitness enthusiasts track results and stay motivated. Pete and Jason dive into the evolution of Spren's technology, lessons learned from the pandemic, and how partnerships with industry leaders like Fitness On Demand are reshaping the member experience across more than a thousand gyms. Jason also pulls back the curtain on the powerful data trends Spren has uncovered, including what truly drives lasting health changes among gym members—and why focusing on muscle may be the key to long-term success. Whether you're a club operator, coach, or just passionate about fitness technology, this episode is a candid look at where health and wellness measurement is headed, how to engage members both inside and outside the gym, and the grit it takes to keep innovating in the HALO sector.  In discussions surrounding tech, there's always the question of data. On that Jason states, "Ultimately the member owns their data . . . that's how we think of it. Like you Pete, or whoever's listening, you own your own data, you can delete it all or take it with you. There's a big trend towards data portability." Key themes discussed Evolution of Spren's body composition technology. Integration with Fitness on Demand and gyms. Seamless, phone-based body measurement solutions. Learnings from SDK/API versus turnkey offerings. Role of data and biomarkers in fitness journeys. Member engagement and personalized coaching tools. Trends in gym programming and equipment preferences. 1. Spren's Technological Evolution: Spren has transitioned from a prototype-focused company to delivering a full-fledged, scalable product. Their tech uses just a phone camera to provide accurate body composition analysis comparable to a DEXA scan. Over the last two years, they've moved towards offering turnkey solutions that require no IT or development resources, making implementation easier for fitness operators of all sizes. 2. Strategic Partnerships & Expansion: Spren has formed partnerships with major fitness platforms like Fitness on Demand, enabling rollouts across over a thousand gyms. These collaborations let gyms effortlessly integrate body composition tracking and personalized coaching for members, meeting the growing demand for accountability and measurable wellness outcomes. 3. Market Learnings & Business Model Shift: Jason shared that initially, Spren focused on offering their technology as an SDK/API for other tech teams to integrate. However, long implementation timelines and the complexity of custom integrations led them to shift toward simple, self-contained solutions that appeal directly to operators and members—and the market has responded positively to this shift. 4. Holistic Data & User Experience: Spren not only tracks body fat and muscle composition but also integrates data from blood labs and wearables to provide a more comprehensive view of a member's health. The company emphasizes user privacy and data ownership, and keeps the member in control of their own data, with growing features for research and cross-platform health data portability. 5. Industry Trends and Actionable Insights: One of the biggest insights from Spren's dataset is that consistent gym-goers and those who work with qualified coaches show significantly better health outcomes. Also, members who focus on muscle building and preservation, not just fat loss, enjoy better long-term outcomes. Jason also noted a shift in club operators showing a greater willingness to pay for high-impact technology that enhances retention and member results, acknowledging that wellness tech can be an investment rather than just an expense.

Sem ela, o Naruhodo sequer teria sentido de existir. Você nos ajuda demais não só quando ouve, mas também quando espalha episódios para familiares, amigos - e, por que não?, inimigos.A segunda mensagem é: existe uma outra forma de apoiar o Naruhodo, a ciência e o pensamento científico - apoiando financeiramente o nosso projeto de podcast semanal independente, que só descansa no recesso do fim de ano.Manter o Naruhodo tem custos e despesas: servidores, domínio, pesquisa, produção, edição, atendimento, tempo... Enfim, muitas coisas para cobrir - e, algumas delas, em dólar.A gente sabe que nem todo mundo pode apoiar financeiramente. E tá tudo bem. Tente mandar um episódio para alguém que você conhece e acha que vai gostar.A gente sabe que alguns podem, mas não mensalmente. E tá tudo bem também. Você pode apoiar quando puder e cancelar quando quiser. O apoio mínimo é de 15 reais e pode ser feito pela plataforma ORELO ou pela plataforma APOIA-SE. Para quem está fora do Brasil, temos até a plataforma PATREON.É isso, gente. Estamos enfrentando um momento importante e você pode ajudar a combater o negacionismo e manter a chama da ciência acesa. Então, fica aqui o nosso convite: apóie o Naruhodo como puder.bit.ly/naruhodo-no-orelo
