Bermuda Triangle Survivor presents Pilot Bruce Gernon's astonishing experiences flying through the Bermuda Triangle and the groundbreaking theories he has created based on these encounters. He is the only living person to fly through the storm that creates one of the World's greatest mysteries. He has seen its birth and entered the heart at its maturity and escaped while experiencing a space/time warp, then witnessing its dissipation. Over the past four decades thousands of students have contacted him for help with research projects they were doing about the Bermuda Triangle. He has written this book for them and for anyone interested in meteorology and physics. You will learn new meteorological terms like Thunderstorm vortex tunnel, Timestorm and the Circular Vortex tunnel that he flew through in 1970. The most important thing he has discovered has a name that he coined in 1978, it called "ELECTRONIC FOG" and there has been thousands of planes, boats and people that have experienced it. Some seem to have disappeared while they were in the FOG. Could it have the power of an Event Horizon like a Black Hole? It took Bruce Thirty (30) years to discover the theory of how this fog works. He says if you think about a question for a very long time, eventually you will come up with the answer this is what he did. There are many theories of what caused the mystery, and the discovery of Rouge Waves has come to fruition, but that only applies to boats. The mystery still remains and after fifty (50) years "Electronic Fog" has become the case in point. There have been many animations on TV documentaries showing Bruce's flight experience, but none have ever shown it correctly. He has created a new video with animations that are three dimensional and shown never seen before details of what it looked like when he experienced the space/time warp and Electronic Fog. He has hopes that this will help students, researchers and scientists to open their minds and solve the mystery.

Society often celebrates a man's physical labor- his calloused hands and strong back- while instructing him to hide or feel ashamed of his emotional scars. In this episode of Friday Field Notes, host Ryan Michler breaks down why carrying a bruised heart is not evidence of weakness, but proof that you actually showed up and lived. Drawing from Theodore Roosevelt's famous "Man in the Arena" speech, Ryan reframes past failures, divorces, addictions, and losses as valuable badges of effort. Stop sitting on the sidelines in the cheap seats. Learn how to build calluses on your heart, stop disguising cowardice as wisdom, and take one actionable step back into the arena.     SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 - The Marks of Physical Labor 02:15 - The Unseen Bruises of a Man's Heart 04:50 - Theodore Roosevelt's "Citizenship in a Republic" 06:15 - The Man in the Arena 08:00 - Why Wounds Are Proof of Effort, Not Weakness 10:40 - Responding to Haters and Cheap-Seat Critics 15:45 - What True Sacrifice Looks Like 18:25 - Building Calluses on the Heart Through Resistance 22:30 - Sovereignty: Getting Back in the Ring 29:20 - Wisdom vs. Cowardice: Protecting vs. Avoiding 31:45 - Weekly Challenge: Re-Engage With What Bruised You 33:50 - Iron Council War Room Announcement  Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

It's episode 503 and commissioner Shane — fantasy baseball champion, Jump Rope for Heart hero, and listener since episode four — finally gets his pick: Pixar's 2006 animated comedy Cars. Dick watched it with his daughter, Emma. Gene watched it for the first time, still unclear why so many Walmart shoppers wear Lightning McQueen Crocs. What follows is a full breakdown of the film — the stunning opening race sequence, the surprisingly rich world-building, the Route 66 economic collapse that hit harder than expected, and the central flaw neither host could ignore: Lightning McQueen is the least interesting car in his own movie. Also on the docket: Did Pixar accidentally make a pro-walkable-city film? Can Cars die of natural causes? What happened to Stanley? Mötley Crüe was offered a song in this movie. They said no. Disney went with Rascal Flatts. We're still angry. The Escalade vs. Navigator distinction that you will not hear anywhere else. Dick's Pixar top 10, Gene's complicated feelings about Up, and a debate on whether WALL-E is a zero-wipe perfect film.

Is self-esteem really the key to a better life?For years, psychologists believed increasing self-esteem would solve many of our greatest personal and social problems. But after decades of research, the evidence pointed in a different direction. In this episode, John Ortberg explores what Dallas Willard teaches in The Renovation of the Heart about the deeper human problem and why lasting transformation begins with truth, humility, and God's mercy.Discover why the Christian path isn't about thinking more highly of yourself, but about receiving the grace that makes genuine change possible.

Suren Shrestha is a Nepalese-born sound healing teacher, author, and founder of Atma Buti Sound & Vibrational School, where he has spent decades sharing the wisdom of Himalayan singing bowls and vibrational healing with students around the world.

These early experiences shaped his understanding of sound as a powerful force for connection, healing, and transformation. In this conversation, Suren shares his personal journey into sound healing, the teachers and experiences that guided him toward Himalayan singing bowls, and what he discovered through working with these sacred instruments.

What will it take to begin to heal the deep wounds between women and men? What is the role of men in this transformation? Cynthia Brix and Will Keepin from ⁠Gender Reconciliation International⁠ say that only by bringing these wounds into the light can we heal them. Patriarchy destroys men's souls, too, so a revolution in gender relations can liberate women and men. The Gender Equity and Reconciliation process seeks to heal the profound wounds around gender, sexuality, and relational intimacy. It brings together people of all sexual orientations and genders to jointly confront gender disharmony to reach healing reconciliation. Will and Cynthia have developed the method over 24 years, introducing the practices in nine countries. Gender reconciliation's startling successes in South Africa have played a role in transforming that country's AIDS and HIV policies, and exciting new academic research on the program is underway at two South African universities.

Three years after his first appearance, Butterfly Network CEO Joe DeVivo returns to catch Harry up on the roadmap. Butterfly's ultrasound-on-a-chip has evolved from a single handheld device into a foundational semiconductor platform that third parties can build on. The most dramatic example: Midjourney's full-body scanner, which rings 40 Butterfly chips around the body for whole-body tomographic imaging. Joe and Harry dig into what's real today versus what's coming, the physics of ultrasound, the path from demo to FDA clearance, and the business logic of "multiple shots on goal."   In this episode:   The chip as a platform: opening Butterfly's technology to third-party developers (the "Nvidia moment").   Midjourney's full-body scanner: tomography, 400 teraflops of data, and a roadmap toward a one-minute scan with the Apollo chip.   Real-world impact: 1,500 midwives trained in Kenya and South Africa, plus a new FDA-cleared gestational-age AI tool.   Partners beyond Midjourney: vascular robotics, fatty liver diagnosis, and brain-computer interfaces (including "silent speech").   Physics Q&A: why 360-degree imaging solves ultrasound's problems with air and bone.   The hospital shift: capturing "ghost" scans, Compass AI, and at-risk skilled-nursing deployments.   The 10-year vision: imaging that comes to the patient instead of the patient going to imaging.   Chapters:   (00:01) A roadmap from three years ago (00:31) Midjourney unveils a full-body scanner (01:31) Joe DeVivo returns (02:59) What shipped: the chip becomes foundational (04:52) Opening the platform to third parties (06:34) Kenya and South Africa: midwives and the FDA-cleared gestational-age app (11:11) FDA rigor and validating AI (14:52) Butterfly Garden, Butterfly Embedded, and the nine partners (16:53) Brain-computer interfaces and silent speech (22:00) The Midjourney deal: origin and reaction (24:03) Tomography explained (28:12) What 40 chips can see and the data challenge (29:33) The roadmap to a one-minute scan; the Apollo chip (32:43) AI looking for a physical carrier (34:31) Prototype to product: milestones to clearance (38:28) Wellness first, then regulatory clearances (39:03) The physics of air and bone (41:45) The investment thesis: multiple shots on goal (46:26) The business today: Compass AI and health-system deployments (49:54) Heart-failure monitoring and at-risk skilled nursing (53:49) The 10-year view: imaging comes to the patient (57:18) Why early detection matters (59:50) Closing   About the guest: Joe DeVivo is CEO of Butterfly Network and has spent 35 years in medical devices.   Also mentioned: Harry's book, The Invisible Interface: How AI Turns Intentions into Actions and Who Wins (foreword by Don Norman), available in print and ebook.

Living the life of your dreams is very hard work.Paul believes much of that hard work comes from being open (and brave) to listen to new and different ideas — things you may never have considered before — then testing them in your own laboratory of daily living to see if they're true and they work for you.Having the courage to explore and refine your life by doing the hard work of letting go of the stuff that isn't working for you and choosing to allow the new in is a recurring theme in this week's Spirit Gym conversation with Erick Godsey, a Master Coach and teacher of myth, science and philosophy. Remember, the best teachers you'll ever have are the ones who are always challenging you to be your best you, not a clone or cult member!Curious to read more after Paul's conversation with Erick?

We've all experienced times when we're thinking of someone, and they suddenly call or text us...because they were also thinking of us. Or situations where we keep replaying a conversation with another person in our minds—long after it's over. These instances are examples of possible soul ties. John and Allen reveal how to know when this spiritual bonding is happening, why soul ties are unhealthy, how to break current or past ties (even if you're not the one making them), and why sometimes forgiveness is the necessary first step.Show Notes: Find the Daily Prayer at WildAtHeart.org/prayers.

We're back with another edition of DBG Times, covering the rockers we lost, milestone album anniversaries, and a packed slate of new releases. In Rockstar Deathdays, we remember Jim Morrison, Jeff LaBar, Gary Corbett, Dick Wagner, Wayne Charvel, Jennifer Finch, and the legendary Ozzy Osbourne. This month's album anniversaries cover an enormous range of rock history. We look back at Heart's Beautiful Broken, Billy Talent's Afraid of Heights, the hard-rock detour of Chrome Division, and the long-awaited New York Dolls comeback album One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This. We also revisit Judas Priest's controversial Ripper Owens era with Demolition, the internal turmoil surrounding the Black Crowes' Three Snakes and One Charm, and Alice Cooper's star-studded Hey Stoopid. Other anniversaries include the killer Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey soundtrack, David Lee Roth's supergroup debut Eat 'Em and Smile, Motörhead's Orgasmatron, Def Leppard's breakthrough-building High 'n' Dry, the Ramones' conflicted Pleasant Dreams, Funkadelic's dark and groundbreaking Maggot Brain, and the heavy Welsh debut from Budgie. We wrap things up with July's new releases, including fresh music from Deep Purple, the Rolling Stones, Smoking Snakes, Tesla, Coven Japan, Zan/Cody, Five Finger Death Punch, and Sinner's twenty-first and final studio album. It's another trip through rock history, loaded with stories, arguments, memories, and plenty of albums worth revisiting. We hope you enjoy DBG Times for July and SHARE with a friend.

Discover how the heart, mind, body, relationships, and soul work together to form the whole person, and why lasting spiritual transformation involves far more than changing behavior.If you've ever felt divided, fragmented, or like different parts of your life are pulling in opposite directions, this conversation offers a hopeful vision of becoming whole through the transforming work of God.

In this episode, Sathiya sits down with Will Knecht, founder of More the Man, a rapidly growing Christian newsletter reaching tens of thousands of men each week, to discuss what it truly means to become a Christlike man in today's world. Will shares his powerful testimony of how God transformed his life through financial hardship, divorce, and personal brokenness, ultimately calling him to write words of encouragement and biblical truth despite his own insecurities. Together, they explore the importance of authentic biblical masculinity, cultivating meaningful brotherhood, developing sustainable spiritual disciplines through every season of life, and creating safe spaces where men can openly discuss struggles such as pornography without shame. They also examine why faithfulness in the sphere God has entrusted to you matters more than worldly success and how humility, vulnerability, and consistent time with God produce lasting spiritual growth. Whether you're seeking deeper intimacy with Christ, stronger relationships with other men, or practical encouragement to live out your faith, this conversation offers timeless wisdom for becoming the man God created you to be.

How do you set a boundary without upsetting people? You cannot control whether someone feels disappointed, but you can communicate your limits with honesty, warmth, and clarity. If the word no gets stuck in your throat—or you find yourself saying yes before you have checked your calendar, energy, or actual desire—this episode is for you. Sometimes the hardest part of setting a boundary is not finding the words. It is the fear that another person's disappointment will mean you have done something wrong. So, instead of simply saying no, you begin building a case. You explain your schedule. You list your symptoms. You offer supporting documentation, emotional exhibits A through F, and perhaps a photograph of yourself looking convincingly exhausted. All because a quiet part of you is saying: Please don't be mad at me. In this solo episode, Danielle explores why saying no can feel so emotionally loaded—especially for recovering people pleasers, people who are highly attuned to others, and anyone who has learned to measure their goodness by how available they are. You will learn why boundaries are not rejection, why your capacity matters as much as the empty spaces on your calendar, and how to communicate a clear no without becoming cold, harsh, or unkind. Because a boundary is not a punishment for somebody else. It is a commitment between you and you. In This Episode, We Talk About Why saying no can feel threatening even when the request is completely reasonable The fear underneath overexplaining your decisions Why some people instinctively look outward to determine who they need to be How people pleasing, attachment patterns, and family dynamics can shape your relationship with boundaries The difference between having time and having capacity Why an invitation can feel more like a blazing cast-iron pan without oven mitts The hidden energetic cost of saying yes too quickly Why boundaries are commitments to yourself—not attempts to control another person How to care about someone's feelings without becoming responsible for preventing them Three simple ways to say no with clarity and kindness Three Practical Takeaways 1. Check Your Capacity, Not Only Your Calendar Something may technically fit into an open hour without truly fitting into your life. Before answering, consider: preparation time travel and transition time emotional energy recovery afterward what else you are already carrying what this yes will ask of your future self The question is not only: Do I have time? It is also: Do I have the energy to do this without abandoning myself? 2. Match the Detail to the Relationship You do not owe every person the same amount of explanation. A close friend may receive more context because the intimacy of the relationship supports it. A casual acquaintance, distant contact, or unsolicited email request may only need: Thank you for thinking of me, but I can't commit to that right now. Kindness does not require complete access to your private life. 3. Practice One of These Three Responses Polite and firm: "Thank you for thinking of me, but I can't commit to that right now." Gentle redirect: "I don't have the capacity for that, but here is what I can offer." Clear no: "No, thank you." The goal is not to sound perfectly scripted. The goal is to have language available when your nervous system wants to panic, overcommit, or start preparing a courtroom defense for your exhaustion. The Moment Would you rather fake a medical emergency than simply say no? It sounds dramatic—until you remember the last time you gave someone six paragraphs of evidence to prove that your boundary was legitimate. Sometimes we do not explain because the other person needs more information. We explain because we are trying to prevent them from having a feeling about our decision. The Heart of This Conversation Boundaries are not rejection. They're clarity. A boundary does not mean: "I do not care about you." It may simply mean: "I am no longer willing to run myself into the ground to prove that I do." Danielle's Favorite Quote If everyone gets a yes from me, eventually there is nothing left for me. Another Line to Keep I can care about your disappointment without making it my job to prevent it. Reflection Question Where in your life are you currently offering a yes because you are afraid of what someone might feel if you said no? Before you judge yourself, pause and get curious. What are you afraid their disappointment would mean about you? A Gentle Practice The next time someone asks something of you, try not to answer immediately. Even if your instinct is to say yes. Even if the message has been marked as read. Even if you are already imagining the awkward silence. Try: "Let me check a few things, and I'll get back to you." That small pause creates enough room to consult the person who is often left out of the decision: You. Before you go Listen to the full episode for a deeper look at why saying no can feel so difficult, how boundaries protect your energy before burnout sets in, and the exact words you can use when you want to be both clear and kind. And remember: You do not need to become less caring to set a boundary. You may simply need to stop using self-abandonment as proof that you care. 20-Second Spotify and Apple Podcasts CTA Does the word no ever get stuck in your throat?

Have you ever felt like you've been doing all the right things... yet still felt exhausted, disconnected, or like something was missing? In this week's Heart & Hustle, I sit down with the wonderful Ramona Kossowan for a heartfelt conversation about healing from the inside out. We explore what happens when we stop fighting our bodies and begin listening to them. We talk about nervous system healing, stored stress, midlife reinvention, self-trust, and why true transformation isn't about pushing harder—it's about creating safety within ourselves. One of my favorite parts of our conversation is this reminder: healing doesn't have to be another thing to strive for. Sometimes it begins with slowing down, becoming present, and allowing ourselves to reconnect with who we've always been beneath the stress and survival. If you've been craving a gentler way forward, I think you'll really enjoy this conversation. ✨ Watch the full episode I'd love to know what resonates with you most.

Welcome to Day 2912 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2912 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 145:8-13 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2912 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2912 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The tiel for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Everlasting Realm of Compassion – Unveiling the Majesty of Yahweh's Kingdom On our previous expedition—on Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Ten—we stood in awe at the royal threshold of Psalm One Hundred Forty-Five, exploring verses one through seven. We listened as King David laid down his military sword, picked up his harp, and declared that Yahweh's unsearchable greatness must be proclaimed from one generation to the next! We witnessed how the remembrance of God's overflowing, gushing goodness naturally erupts into exuberant, generational praise. Today, we step directly onto the next elevation of this magnificent acrostic summit, advancing into Psalm One Hundred Forty-Five, verses eight through thirteen. As we continue along this pristine trail, David shifts our focus from the unsearchable, transcendent splendor of the Creator to the profound, heart-level warmth of His character. In these six verses, we are invited to gaze into the very heart of the Sovereign King of heaven—a King whose authority is not marked by cold, tyrannical control, but by boundless mercy, universal compassion, and an unshakeable, everlasting dominion that spans every physical and spiritual realm across all generations. The first segment is: The Heart of the King: Abundant Mercy and Universal Compassion Let us open our ears to the deeply comforting words recorded in the New Living Translation, grouping together the logical, contiguous thoughts found in verse eight and verse nine. The Lord is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation. In these two breathtaking lines, David delivers what can only be described as the supreme theological confession of the Hebrew Scriptures, declaring, “The Lord is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation.” If these words sound familiar to your ears, it is because David is directly quoting the sacred, self-revealed character statement that Yahweh declared to Moses on Mount Sinai in Exodus chapter thirty-four! To fully appreciate the revolutionary impact of this revelation, we must view it through the ancient Israelite divine-council worldview. In the ancient Near East, the pagan nations surrounding Israel lived in perpetual, paralyzing fear of their localized deities. Gods like Baal, Chemosh, or Marduk were viewed as erratic, moody, quick-tempered, and selfish entities who demanded bloody sacrifices and cared nothing for the well-being of ordinary mortals. Furthermore, in the cosmic geography of the ancient world, those foreign nations were assigned to rebellious, territorial spiritual principalities who ruled through fear, oppression, and enslavement. Standing in stark, brilliant contrast to those dark, fickle powers, Yahweh reveals His true nature as the absolute Sovereign of the cosmos! He is not quick to wrath; rather, He is patient, long-suffering, and profoundly merciful. The Hebrew term used here for "unfailing love" is chesed—that deep, unwavering, covenant-keeping affection that never gives up on its people. But notice how far David expands this divine love in verse nine! Yahweh's goodness is not restricted to a single tribe or a select elite; He is good to everyone! He showers His tender, fatherly compassion over all His creation—from the highest angelic seraphim in the heavenly assembly, down to the smallest bird resting in the forest canopy. In a world often battered by chaos and cruelty, David reminds us that the supreme ruler of the universe is defined, at His core, by overwhelming, relentless grace. The second segment is: The Chorus of Creation and the Realm of Glory The narrative now moves from the internal character of the King to the explosive, cosmic response of His subjects, linking together the contiguous thoughts found in verse ten, verse eleven, and verse twelve. All of your creatures will thank you, Lord, and your godly people will praise you. They will speak of the glory of your kingdom; they will give examples of your power. They will tell about your mighty deeds and about the majesty and glory of your reign. David paints a panoramic, glorious vision of universal adoration, declaring, “All of your creatures will thank you, Lord, and your godly people will praise you. They will speak of the glory of your kingdom; they will give examples of your power. They will tell about your mighty deeds and about the majesty and glory of your reign.” Look at the dual choir David brings together in this passage! First, he points to “all of your creatures”—the entirety of the natural order and the unseen heavenly hosts—offering a continuous, harmonious echo of thanksgiving to their Creator. But then, he highlights a special group: “your godly people”—the chasidim, those who are bound to Yahweh in a loving, loyal covenant relationship. While creation offers silent, instinctual praise, God's redeemed people are given an articulate, vocal mission! They do not remain quiet; they step into the cosmic courtroom to publicly testify about the true nature of Yahweh's reign. Notice the three specific themes these covenant heralds proclaim: they speak of the glory of His kingdom, they give tangible examples of His power, and they tell about His mighty deeds. In the ancient divine-council framework, earthly kingdoms were constantly boasting about their military conquests, erecting arrogant monuments to their mortal kings. But David's godly people look past earthly empires and fallen principalities to exalt the true, overarching kingdom of God! They share concrete stories of how Yahweh broke the chains of slavery, how He defeated spiritual powers of darkness, how He provided manna in the barren wilderness, and how He heals broken hearts. Their testimony serves as a vibrant, undeniable public witness to the entire world—and to the watching spiritual realms—demonstrating that Yahweh's rule is unmatched in majesty, splendor, and liberating power. The third segment is: The Unshakeable Dominion: An Everlasting Kingdom The psalmist now reaches the ultimate, unshakeable bedrock of his royal hymn, anchoring his narrative in the eternal stability of God's rule, as recorded in verse thirteen. For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. You rule through all generations. The Lord is always faithful to his promises; he is gracious in all he does. With triumphant, absolute confidence, David seals this section of his psalm, exclaiming, “For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. You rule through all generations. The Lord is always faithful to his promises; he is gracious in all he does.” This verse contains a colossal, mind-boggling truth that provides ultimate comfort for our daily trek through life. Throughout human history, massive empires have risen with terrifying power, only to crumble into forgotten dust. The ancient Egyptian pharaohs, the ruthless Assyrian conquerors, the mighty Babylonian kings, and the vast Roman legions all believed their rule would last forever. Yet, every single one of those human regimes—along with the fallen, territorial spiritual principalities that animated them—faded away into the pages of history. But David declares that the kingdom of Yahweh belongs to a completely different category! His rule is an everlasting kingdom—a reign that knows no geographical boundaries, no political decline, no military defeat, and no expiration date! Furthermore, look at the second half of verse thirteen, which highlights the moral foundation of this eternal throne. Unlike human rulers who break treaties, abandon alliances, and act out of selfish ambition, Yahweh is "always faithful to his promises; he is gracious in all he does." In the ancient Near Eastern world, a king's word was often treacherous. But the Supreme King of the divine council binds Himself to His word! Every promise He makes to His children—promises of presence, protection, forgiveness, and ultimate restoration—is locked in an unshakeable, eternal vault. His authority is executed through pure grace, ensuring that those who take refuge under His reign will never be disappointed, forgotten, or cast aside....

Can you experience God's peace while still struggling with anxiety?In this special conversation, John Ortberg is joined by his daughter, Laura Turner, to explore one of the deepest themes in Dallas Willard's The Renovation of the Heart: peace. Together they discuss why peace is more than the absence of worry, how acceptance differs from giving up, and why receiving God's love often matters more than getting everything right.If you've ever wondered whether anxiety means you're failing spiritually, this honest conversation offers hope, wisdom, and a fresh perspective on what it means to live at peace with God, yourself, and others.

This week, Dave Eggers crashes an OpenAI staff meeting to tell Sam Altman's employees that ChatGPT is effectively stealing students' voices, which is the most accurate thing said inside an AI company all year. Meanwhile, Anthropic gets a judge to approve a $1.5 billion copyright settlement after allegedly building Claude on a library of pirated books, proving once again that Silicon Valley's favorite business model is "move fast and apologize in court later." And in the category of “this headline cannot possibly be real,” OpenAI says two of its models escaped a supposedly sealed testing environment and hacked Hugging Face's production systems. The AI didn't become sentient; somebody forgot to lock the damn door.The surveillance dystopia continues its relentless expansion. Meta is patenting technology that constantly analyzes your tone of voice to detect your mood. Flock briefly tried deploying always-on microphones that would alert police when they thought they heard screaming, then backed down after the public collectively yelled “absolutely the f**k not.” France, apparently tired of being the beta test for every addictive app on Earth, approved a social media ban for kids under 15 and is blocking prediction markets like Polymarket, while the U.S. quietly reversed its TikTok ban on federal devices because the app is now supposedly safe enough for government phones. Sure. Totally different app. Nothing suspicious there.Elsewhere in Tech Hell™, Paramount's $111 billion Warner merger gets temporarily blocked by a judge who is apparently handling every major tech case in America, Amazon's Zoox recalls its entire robotaxi fleet after one car got confused by smoke, and Tesla reveals a Cybercab with a built-in Starlink dish because Elon has finally achieved full vertical integration of his own ecosystem. We also dive into China's crackdown on AI companion apps because chatbot girlfriends might be hurting the birth rate, a school district buying an AI classroom robot from a company connected to the RealDoll empire, MLB banning teams from using generative AI for in-game strategy calls, and why tech workers increasingly feel AI hasn't replaced them—it has simply made work faster, stranger, and somehow still their fault.

One thing I've learned about people is if you don't know who they are, they'll show you.    My friend Derrick J Harper shared a post about someone turning on him that he had helped.     It was destructive.    Heart-breaking.    He helped this family who couldn't do something for themselves.    Fast-forward to the message..........   They started shitting on him instead of being grateful.    That's a reflection of most people you help out.    It's easier to turn on someone who has helped you than to reciprocate it.    The truth is, most people offering help are not expecting anything in return.    The same thing happened to me.........   Lean in and listen.      About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Bronx-born singer George Lamond joins discuss his roots, musical evolution, and legacy as one of Freestyle and Salsa's biggest voices. He reveals how he hid his talent and dreams from his family until they heard his song playing on NYC radio. George reflects on growing up in the same neighborhood as Marc Anthony and La India, experiencing freestyle’s club scene at just 17, and developing his own sound and image. He also opens up about navigating major labels, the origins of his stage name, and the assumptions people made about his ethnicity and sexuality because of his polished “pretty boy” appearance. After “Bad of the Heart” skyrocketed in 1989, George crossed over into salsa, built a seven-album catalog, and today continues touring and earning from music created decades ago. Plus, he reveals his ultimate Freestyle Mount Rushmore.

CardioNerds (Drs. Apoorva Gangavelli, Jenna Skowronski, and Hannah Every) discuss the continuum of prevention and heart failure with Drs. Anu Lala and Martha Gulati. Grounded in a clinical case of a 55-year-old woman with uncontrolled hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and obesity who is on the trajectory toward heart failure, this episode unpacks a paradigm-shifting framework from a joint HFSA/ASPC Scientific Statement. The discussion explores how prevention should not be siloed from heart failure management but rather integrated across a patient’s lifespan—from primary prevention in at-risk individuals, to secondary prevention in those with established heart failure, to tertiary prevention in patients with advanced therapies such as LVADs and heart transplantation. The experts highlight the importance of aggressive risk factor management, biomarker-guided screening, the AHA’s Life’s Essential 8, and the need for multidisciplinary collaboration and systems-level change to shift heart failure care from reactive to proactive. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds Intern, Dr. Julia Marques Fernandes.

Pearls Systemic inflammatory diseases are associated with an elevated CVD risk that has significant implications for early detection, risk Heart failure prevention is a continuum, not a checkpoint. Prevention applies at every stage—from at-risk (Stage A) through advanced/post-transplant care—and every clinical encounter is an opportunity to intervene. The AHA’s Life’s Essential 8 (diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, sleep, BMI, blood lipids, blood glucose, blood pressure) forms the foundation at every stage. Hypertension carries the highest population-attributable risk for heart failure of any modifiable risk factor. In the Framingham Heart Study, 91% of patients with newly diagnosed HF had pre-existing hypertension. The SPRINT trial demonstrated a 38% reduction in HF incidence with intensive blood pressure targets (30 ng/L or NT-proBNP >125 ng/L) identify individuals at heightened risk for progression to symptomatic HF. The ACC/AHA/HFSA guidelines give a Class IIa recommendation for natriuretic peptide screening in at-risk patients. Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) is an underutilized screening tool that provides additional insight into CKM risk. The heart failure label does not close the prevention window—it accentuates it. Secondary prevention through GDMT optimization (quadruple therapy in HFrEF) and continued risk factor management remains critical. Tertiary prevention extends to post-LVAD and post-transplant patients, where hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and CKD management remain essential to long-term outcomes. Show notes For a comprehensive review, please review the full HFSA/ASPC Joint Scientific Statement: Lala A, Beavers C, Blumer V, et al. The Continuum of Prevention and Heart Failure in Cardiovascular Medicine. J Card Fail. 2026;32:75-105. doi:10.1016/j.cardfail.2025.06.013 1. What is the “continuum of prevention” framework, and how does it differ from traditional approaches to heart failure prevention? Historically, prevention and heart failure management have been treated as separate disciplines—primary prevention handled by preventive cardiologists and treatment managed by heart failure specialists. This joint HFSA/ASPC Scientific Statement reframes prevention as a dynamic, continuous process that spans a patient’s entire lifespan, regardless of HF stage or ejection fraction. The framework maps onto the ACC/AHA HF staging system: Primary prevention targets Stage A (“at risk”) and Stage B (“pre-HF”) patients to reduce the burden of incident HF. Secondary prevention targets Stage C (symptomatic) and Stage D (advanced) patients to reduce the impact of established HF through GDMT optimization and ongoing risk factor management. Tertiary prevention encompasses risk factor management in patients with LVADs or heart transplants—populations where hypertension, diabetes, and obesity still drive outcomes. The Central Figure of the statement illustrates that Life’s Essential 8 (blood pressure and lipid control, diabetes management, exercise, sleep, smoking cessation, weight management, and diet/nutrition counseling) forms the foundation at every stage, with pharmacologic and device-based therapies layered on top as disease progresses (Figure) 2. How do traditional risk factors drive heart failure, and what should clinicians prioritize? Hypertension carries the greatest population-attributable risk for HF. In the Framingham Heart Study (N=5,143), HTN was associated with a 2- to 3-fold increased risk of HF, with a population-attributable risk of 39% in men and 59% in women. The SPRINT trial showed a 38% reduction in HF incidence and 25% reduction in the primary composite outcome with intensive BP targets (30 ng/L or NT-proBNP >125 ng/L) are associated with heightened risk for progression to symptomatic HF. In the ARIC study, incorporating NT-proBNP reclassified 20% of older adults without HF into Stage B. Factors that affect interpretation include age, sex, obesity (lower values), and CKD (higher values). High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn): Concentrations above the 99th percentile are now included in the definition of Stage B HF. Troponin testing may complement natriuretic peptides, particularly when BNP/NT-proBNP values are ambiguous. Risk scores: The PCP-HF equation predicts 10-year HF risk using traditional risk factors plus QRS duration. The AHA PREVENT score incorporates HF risk calculation and includes markers of kidney function (albuminuria, eGFR), though it may underestimate risk in men and Black adults. The CKM syndrome staging framework (Stages 0–4) provides a holistic approach to assessing systemic cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic risk. 4. What are the key nontraditional risk factors and cross-cutting themes in heart failure prevention? Genetics: Pathogenic cardiomyopathy variants exist in ~1 in 200 individuals in the general population. The HFSA and ACMG recommend cascade testing to identify at-risk family members. Polygenic risk scores for dilated cardiomyopathy show a 3.8-fold risk for DCM in the top 10th percentile compared with the median. Sex-specific considerations: Women have 2.8 times the odds of developing HFpEF, while men have similarly increased odds of HFrEF. A complete obstetric/gynecologic history is essential—preeclampsia is associated with a 4-fold increased risk of HF. Peripartum cardiomyopathy requires intentional screening in high-risk populations. Cardiotoxic exposures: Clinicians should be aware of medications that cause direct myocardial toxicity (e.g., anthracyclines, trastuzumab, tyrosine kinase inhibitors). A team-based approach with pharmacists can help optimize medication selection and risk factor modification. Social determinants of health: Environmental exposures (air pollution, arsenic, lead, cadmium), food insecurity, financial instability, and limited healthcare access contribute to HF risk and progression. Equity-focused, risk-based prevention strategies are needed. Psychological health: Depression is common in HF and independently associated with worse outcomes. Screening with brief questionnaires (e.g., PHQ-2) is recommended. Meditation, spirituality, and holistic wellness approaches remain underutilized. 5. What systems-level and policy changes are needed to move the needle on heart failure prevention? Multidisciplinary HF prevention clinics that bring together preventive cardiologists, HF specialists, endocrinologists, nephrologists, dietitians, pharmacists, exercise physiologists, and genetic counselors are advocated by the statement. EHR-embedded risk stratification could proactively flag patients on a trajectory toward HF—analogous to sepsis alerts or fall risk flags—enabling earlier intervention, particularly for patients who may not reach a cardiologist. Cardiac rehabilitation remains underutilized, particularly in HFrEF (Class 2b recommendation) and HFpEF (not yet covered by Medicare). The HF-ACTION trial showed quality-of-life benefits, and the REHAB-HF trial showed particular benefit in older patients with HFpEF. Policy priorities include expanding insurance coverage for preventive screening and novel therapies (SGLT2i, GLP-1 RAs, nsMRAs), reducing clinical inertia through team-based care models with closer follow-up intervals, and ensuring equitable access to evidence-based therapies across diverse populations. Digital health and AI hold promise for personalized risk prediction, remote monitoring (e.g., wearable devices, implantable PA pressure monitors), and virtual cardiac rehabilitation to overcome access barriers.

What if the key to reducing chronic pain, improving mobility, sleeping better, and even slowing the effects of aging has been hiding in plain sight? In this fascinating episode of The Girlfriend Doctor Podcast, Dr. Anna Cabeca welcomes back naturopathic physician and quantum biology expert Dr. Catherine Clinton, author of Optimize, for a deep dive into one of the body's most overlooked healing systems: fascia. Together, they explore why fascia has been called the body's "Cinderella organ"—overworked, underappreciated, and essential for healthy movement, energy production, nervous system regulation, and longevity. Dr. Clinton explains how chronic stress, trauma, inflammation, hydration, mitochondrial function, and even our thoughts influence this remarkable connective tissue network. Dr. Anna also shares her personal journey through PTSD, insomnia, heart coherence, equine therapy, and a profound experience with dry fasting that transformed her understanding of the body's electrical nature and healing potential. You'll discover practical ways to support your fascia and nervous system through movement, light exposure, hydration, gratitude, circadian rhythms, and simple daily habits that help your body shift from survival mode into true healing. Whether you're dealing with frozen shoulder, stiff joints, chronic inflammation, autoimmune challenges, burnout, or simply want to optimize your health as you age, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on the future of medicine—one that begins by helping the body feel safe enough to heal.   Key Timestamps 00:00 – Why frozen shoulder, joint pain and stiffness may be connected to fascia 04:45 – Trauma, chronic stress, inflammation and the nervous system 11:50 – Heart coherence, gratitude and retraining the brain for healing 18:10 – Can the body truly heal if it doesn't feel safe? 23:20 – Dr. Anna's equine therapy experience and what horses reveal about our nervous system 31:10 – What fascia really is—and why it's far more than connective tissue 39:30 – Piezoelectricity: how fascia generates the body's electrical energy 49:15 – Why hydration, mitochondria and movement keep fascia healthy 58:30 – Structured water, minerals and optimizing cellular hydration 1:09:20 – Daily habits for optimizing energy, longevity and healing through quantum biology 1:17:30 – Final takeaways: reconnecting with nature, joy and the body's innate healing intelligence   Memorable Quotes Dr. Catherine Clinton: "Trauma really is defined by anything the system can't handle. It's not the event—it's what overwhelms the system." Dr. Catherine Clinton: "The body needs to feel safe before it can shift into rest, repair, and healing." Dr. Catherine Clinton: "Pain, inflammation, and disease can be viewed as a loss of electrical charge within the body." Dr. Catherine Clinton: "Movement hydrates fascia. When fascia is hydrated, it glides, communicates, and generates electrical energy more effectively." Dr. Catherine Clinton: "Each relationship we build with nature is an invitation back to safety, resilience, and healing." Dr. Anna Cabeca: "Healing is so much bigger than chasing symptoms." Dr. Anna Cabeca: "Your energy doesn't lie. You may think you're holding it together, but your body tells the truth." Dr. Anna Cabeca: "If it brings you joy, you're on the right track." Dr. Anna Cabeca: "Investing in your physical health is investing in your physical wealth." Dr. Anna Cabeca: "Don't be overwhelmed. Just choose one next right step toward healing."

Ste has strong things to say about why the vaccine was never actually forced, why orthorexia is subtly wrecking people, and what the wellness industry keeps getting wrong about resilience.We also get into his four-truths framework, what real success looks like, and why the emotional and spiritual side of health matters more than the biohacks.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[7:07] Mark Sisson's podcast and the virtue of restraint[24:47] Falling for Nicole and an Indonesian village that broke his brain about success[43:26] Success is getting what you want, and how Ste defines it now[1:01:38] The wellness space has become a mess of overwhelm and fad chasing[1:20:14] Blaming outside forces for sickness is weakness, plus the peptide and vaccine hypocrisy[1:32:03] BPC-157 healed his meniscus tear, and how health comes down to four simple truths[1:56:30] Working in versus working out, and why mobility is real estate you already own[2:25:22] Heart and Soil's origin story, and a Bulgarian textbook smuggled out for cigarettes[2:42:59] A Parkinson's neighbor whose tremors calmed within days of eating brain tissue Related The Way Forward Episodes:The 4th Phase of Water: The Blueprint for Biological Energy with Dr. Gerald Pollack | PodcastResources Mentioned:The Law of One by Ra | Books The Red Lion by Maria Szepes | BookFind more from Ste:Ste Lane | InstagramRadical Health Radio | Website | Instagram | YouTubeHeart and Soil Supplements | Website | Instagram | YouTubeFind more from Alec:Alec Zeck | Instagram | XThe Way Forward | InstagramDonate to The Way Forward here.The Way Forward is Sponsored By:BEAM Minerals: Feel the Difference in Days: Join thousands recharging with plant-based minerals.

Welcome to Soundbites: Topics that are scripturally sound in bite-sized episodes. This week's topic: Anger. Are you angry with someone right now? The strong emotions and reactions that come with anger can get us into trouble. Being angry is not a sin by itself, but the way we express that anger can easily become sinful and harmful. This brief study will give us biblical patterns to follow, helping us to improve in our responses. Anger makes a really poor parking spot for the soul. Don't stay there. Forgiveness is more than an option; it's biblical. (Rebroadcast from 2022) "Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools." (Ecclesiastes 7:9) Be sure to visit the Shop at Keep the Heart for books, Bible studies, beautiful Bibles, and more!

In the One Minute Pause and Daily Prayer, we're encouraged to "give everyone and everything" to God. That sounds simple enough, but why is this practice so essential? In this illuminating conversation, John and Allen share what happens when we pray these words, why it's good to release everyone—including those we love, and what can get in the way.Show Notes: Get the free One Minute Pause app at WildAtHeart.org/pause.Keywords: Christianity, Benevolent Detachment, Prayer, Meditation_______________________________________________There is more.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?
