Most of us use GPS—the Global Positioning System—on a daily basis: to find our location when we're driving, running, shopping, dating, and so much more. But GPS is even more important, and more vulnerable, than you think.In the last few years, GPS interference has been reported all over the world, from war zones to shipping routes to public squares. What was once the fanciful plot of a Bond movie—bad guy manipulates GPS to start World War III—is increasingly plausible. How did the world come to rely so heavily on such an unreliable system?In this episode of Decoder Ring, host Willa Paskin talks to journalist Katherine Dunn, author of the new book Little Blue Dot: How GPS Shaped the Modern World. You'll learn how GPS works, why it was created, how it became so ubiquitous, and why it's now under attack. You'll also hear from Dr. Todd Humphreys, an aerospace engineer who manipulated GPS to trick an $85 million superyacht into following his direction—for science, of course.This episode was written and produced by Max Freedman.

Entre Hopper i Doisneau és el projecte fotogràfic que han impulsat un grup de lloretencs amb la voluntat de reivindicar l'autenticitat fotogràfica amb persones reals i denunciar la invasió de la intel·ligència artificial. Es tracta d'un projecte sense ànim de lucre, impulsat pel fotògraf Òscar Rodbag, que n'és el director. Admirador de les obres del pintor nord-americà Edward Hopper, en destaca el tractament de la llum, les figures solitàries i el misteri de les seves escenes. “Hopper va captar una mica l’estat anímic d’una societat nord-americana afectada per la Segona Guerra Mundial: diuen que per això pintava la gent solitària, amb posat trist o pensatiu, i quan hi havia més d’un personatge a l’escena, no tenien contacte visual entre elles”, comenta Rodbag. Unes obres que vincula a la societat actual, amb la irrupció de les xarxes socials i la IA. “He volgut buscar un cert paral·lelisme entre els personatges solitaris de les obres de Hooper i la societat actual, cada cop més fragmentada i menys empàtica per les xarxes socials i, sobretot, la forta irrupció de la intel·ligència artificial en tots els àmbits”Òscar Rodbag Pel que fa a l'altre artista que inspira el projecte, és el fotògraf francès Robert Doisneau, mestre de l'anomenada “realitat inventada”, que són escenes capturades de la vida quotidiana, però que en realitat estan acuradament preparades. Un aspecte que també està molt vinculat a la falsa realitat que mostra la gent avui en dia a les seves xarxes socials. “Ell va pensar allò que cada vegada és més habitual a les xarxes, inventar una realitat que no és certa o està clarament esbiaixada, on els protagonistes exhibeixen una vida perfecta i feliç, quan en realitat se senten soles i tristes. Si es tracta d’art, no hi ha cap problema, però si això es trasllada a la nostra manera de donar-nos a conèixer pot arribar a comportar una veritable frustració o desconfiança social entre nosaltres”, afegeix el fotògraf. “Amb les imatges de Doisneau, com passa amb la comunicació actual a les xarxes, es premia o valora com a art, el fet de semblar espontani allò que està construït”Òscar Rodbag Per tant, el projecte combina la il·luminació o l'atmosfera de Cooper amb la tècnica de la realitat inventada de Doisneau “per descriure, si res canvia, a una societat abocada a l'aïllament social”. Tot plegat, ambientat a Lloret de Mar. “Penso que Lloret té un potencial molt important a nivell de raconets pocs coneguts o llocs que hi hem passat un munt de vegades i no hi prenem atenció. I vaig pensar: ‘Per què no creem un projecte creant imatges en aquests llocs, per reivindicar-los o no?'”, matisa. “Estem creant això amb un objectiu conjunt de crear art a Lloret i per reivindicar una mica Lloret de Mar és molt més que un destí turístic”Òscar Rodbag La proposta consisteix en crear un total de 17 fotografies i, de moment, en duen 9, amb la intenció d'acabar entre setembre i octubre. I la idea és crear una exposició itinerant, amb la col·laboració de l'Ajuntament. I també crear un calendari benèfic de cara al 2027. Per al projecte, Òscar Rodbag compta amb la col·laboració de Joan Romà Ortiz com a director artístic, Natàlia Romero com a estilista de vestuari, Pere Cabañas per fer el making off de les fotos per documentar que no estan fetes amb IA, Ruth Seguel com a perruquera, Anna Pujol de modista, Toni Sendra per a la pintura, l'ambientació i la preproducció i Jan Rodbag de tècnic d'il·luminació. A més, hi ha un grup de voluntaris que s'encarrega d'aconseguir l'atrezzo i, el que no troben, ho compren amb el finançament d'empreses col·laboradores que fan una aportació de 350 euros. Tota la informació es pot consultar a la pàgina web projectelloret.com.

Dylan Patel, founder of SemiAnalysis, argues the biggest gains in AI don't come from faster chips, they come from software-hardware co-design. Optimizing the model, the kernels, and the silicon together turns a 2x here and a 2x there into 100x. He explains why DeepSeek's experts were shaped for Nvidia's Hopper (and why TPUs struggle to run it), why OpenAI's sparser models and Anthropic's denser ones pull them toward different hardware, and why the so-called CUDA moat was never really about CUDA. Dylan breaks down InferenceX, his living benchmark that runs the latest models on over $50M of donated hardware daily, tracking a roughly 60x annual drop in cost per unit of quality. He makes the case that inference will be a bigger market than oil, that the compute crunch persists because models expand the value of useful work faster than compute grows, and why Jensen Huang is bankrolling neoclouds to engineer a multipolar world.

Why do Burmese regimes with tanks and armies panic over a single flower or a social media comment? In this episode of Naing Ayar from Myanmar, we dissect the hidden fears of dictators. Using the famous "Hopper speech" from Pixar's A Bug's Life as a metaphor, we break down the political science and psychology behind why absolute rulers are deeply terrified of collective truth and how fragile their control truly is.#NaingAyarFromMyanmar #PoliticalPsychology #Authoritarianism #PreferenceFalsification #ABugsLife #PodcastMyanmar
Silvia Andreoli"Il cuore della notte"Storie delle ore dopo il tramonto.Prefazione di Roberto DeidierLuiss University Presswww.luissuniversitypress.itÈ capitato a chiunque: una strada deserta popolata da ombre tremolanti, un silenzio scosso dal fruscio delle foglie, il rintocco delle campane che annuncia l'arrivo della notte. Nell'oscurità brillano le stelle e noi, confusi, non sappiamo se il brivido che ci attraversa appartiene a una paura senza età o a un'avventura sul punto di cominciare. Il cuore della notte di Silvia Andreoli è un saggio noire, un'autobiografia onirica, un itinerario delle dodici ore notturne scandito dagli orologi illustrati da Stefano Guerrini. Memoir, critica letteraria e narrazione si contaminano fino a fare del buio la “regione” dell'Essere: siamo fatti della stessa sostanza di cui è fatta l'oscurità. Ma il buio non è assenza di luce; è materia primordiale, desiderio d'infanzia, territorio ancestrale dove il tempo si dissolve e i segreti dell'intimità vengono custoditi. Accostarsi alla notte significa, come Cenerentola, vincere il timore della mezzanotte e raccogliere la promessa di una scarpetta o volare oltre la morte come l'umbratile Peter Pan. La notte ci spoglia dei ruoli sociali e ci restituisce alle nostre tenebre interiori: cadono le maschere, e l'anima, libera dal quotidiano, incontra il silenzio della creazione e la passione del desiderio. Il buio è alambicco alchemico: è Michelangelo che si rifugia nelle segrete di San Lorenzo come in una notte senza fine e popola le pareti di disegni lavorando alla cieca; è Proust che cerca nella sua stanza foderata di sughero la madre-notte per ritrovare le memorie perdute dell'infanzia. Da Nabokov a Kafka, fino ai Nighthawks di Hopper, Andreoli tesse una costellazione letteraria in cui la luna produce miti, illusioni e passioni. Come falene attratte da un chiarore ingannevole, volteggiamo verso ciò che ci attrae e ci consuma: è il sogno di una vita libera.Silvia AndreoliScrittrice, studiosa dell'universo della fiaba, è autrice di romanzi e racconti. Ideatrice di numerosi laboratori su temi della fantasia, dell'infanzia e della poesia, con Luiss University Press ha pubblicato La tana del lupo (2024).Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Three-cornered alfalfa hopper (TCAH) is the only confirmed insect vector of grapevine red blotch virus in Vitis vinifera, yet many growers first realize they have the pest only after spotting petiole girdling in the vineyard. Cindy Kron, North Coast IPM Advisor at UC ANR, shares findings from two years of weekly sweep-net monitoring at Oakville Research Station that revealed TCAH adults are present well before bud break, suggesting grapevines are not their preferred host. She explains the insect's life stages, why legumes serve as key feeding and reproductive hosts, and why detecting early instars remains a major challenge for vineyard IPM. Cindy also discusses how degree-day models may help growers better time tillage to reduce TCAH populations and limit grapevine red blotch risk.

The team is assembled ahead of Freo and the Cats, but Isaac and K-Mac are squaring off over last night's State of Origin result. Luckily, Isaac has come ready with several guernseys of winning teams. With Toyota about to make another Legendary Moment commercial, our team nominated their own highlights, then Fremantle assistant coach Jaymie Graham joins the show pre-game. After an astonishing story out of Geelong today, Cats legend Garry Hocking calls in to explain what he happened as he attempted to make a citizen's arrest, then Luke Beveridge had some jabs for Jordan Lewis. As Isaac continues to swap into winning guernseys, Jay Z rolls his Chief's Agenda out, and K-Mac's Royal Commission looks at people who might've gone off too soon. More footy news around Melbourne and Essendon is followed by Geelong GM of Footy Andrew Mackie. Then we hear Isaac's Penthouse or Outhouse, and a round of Unpopular Opinions. Finally, Andrew Embley joins the crew from the West, but we're interested in a little moment he had on air a few weeks ago.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ok, whoah. I hope you've all had a good day because this episode contains some of the darkest times for our boy, Rand! But we also get into some great callbacks, so there is always that!Perrin dips his toes back in the wolf dream while Faile has a small secret ceremony for the women who had to kill the brotherless who had helped them in Malden.Then it's time for sad things. Semirhage makes her final play on Rand and Min is caught in the crossfire. Things go real sideways.When the dust has settled, Rand is even more broken and he banishes Cadsuane from his sight with threat of death.Meanwhile, Gawyn arrives at Gareth Bryne's camp and gets a fresh cup of wake-the-hell-up from his former teacher.In the rebel camp Sheriam gets new orders from a masked Forsaken, and in the Tower Egwene tells Seaine to keep up the efforts of getting the Tower back together while she is locked away in a dungeon awaiting trial.And in our last chapter Aviendha finally picks up what the Wise Ones are putting down, and Shemerin tells the rebels why she is beahving like a non-Aes Sedai and how she got out of the city...But enough of that from me, tell us what YOU think about the events in these chapters by using any of the links below!X - @BloodAndAshPodBluesky - @bloodandashes.bsky.socialEmail - moritz@bloodandashespodcast.comYouTube - Blood and AshesFacebook - BloodAndAshesPodcastWeb - www.bloodandashespodcast.com (Now with voicemail capabilities!)Discord - Blood and Ashes (If the link doesn't work, drop me a message and I'll email you a fresh one)Merch - Blood and Ashes Merch!

The Peter Boyles Show June 6, 2026 HOUR 3: Peter Boyles opens the phones on the anniversary of D-Day, leading to a wide-ranging conversation about history, leadership, media, war, and American culture. Listeners reflect on the sacrifices of World War II, the leadership of General Dwight Eisenhower, and why D-Day receives less public attention today than it once did. The discussion also revisits the legacy of Easy Rider, with callers sharing personal stories about Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper, memories from the film's production in Taos, New Mexico, and the lasting influence of motorcycle culture. Peter shares behind-the-scenes stories about Fonda, Hopper, and the legendary motorcycles featured in the film. Later, Peter promotes the upcoming "Wish Ride of Colorado" fundraiser benefiting Make-A-Wish, highlighting a motorcycle poker run that helps grant wishes for children, including a young history enthusiast hoping to visit the Normandy beaches. The hour closes with deeper reflections on Eisenhower's leadership, the burden of wartime decisions, the changing nature of journalism, and the lessons modern America can still learn from the Greatest Generation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Canada has a scaleup problem. We create entrepreneurs, but too many of them feel they need to leave to build world-class companies. Fred Lalonde is one of the exceptions. He is the founder and CEO of Hopper, the Canadian travel-tech company that used data, prediction and fintech to help travellers book with more confidence. Now Lalonde is bringing that same ambition to Deep Sky, a Canadian carbon removal company. In this episode of Disruptors, recorded in front of a live audience, John Stackhouse speaks with Fred about what it takes to build and scale from Canada - and why the country needs more founders willing and able to do it here. Fred is funny and blunt, but underneath it all is a builder's clarity: disruption is not something he manages. It is something he assumes. In this episode, you'll learn: How Hopper became one of Canada's leading tech success stories Why Fred thinks entrepreneurs better be motivated by building, not just money Why AI, energy and advanced manufacturing are central to Canada's next growth chapter What it takes to build a world-class company without leaving Canada RBC Thought Leadership Keywords: Fred Lalonde, Frederic Lalonde, Hopper, Deep Sky, John Stackhouse, Disruptors podcast, RBC Thought Leadership, Canadian unicorns, Canadian startups, Canadian founders, Canadian scaleups, Canada startup ecosystem, Canada founder gap, Canadian entrepreneurship, Canadian innovation, venture capital Canada, growth capital Canada, RBC growth fund, homegrown Canadian companies, AI disruption, climate tech, carbon removal, direct air capture, energy transition, advanced manufacturing, Canadian productivity, Canadian competitiveness.

So we are back in Hawkins, and California and Russia… geez! Hopper is alive! this reveal is meh… and how did he survive the lightening bolts of disintegration?Umm… he fell down? Max wakes up from a nightmare into a daymare when she sees the head cheerleader has been pretzeled and de-eyed. Yikes. A plane lands in California, and two teenagers wait on theguy they are both obsessed with and he is the dorkiest person on earth and El is like “FROM”? Mike, from? And Will is like, hug me? No, okay I'll just go kms then I guessAnd the talking bong is like, your cheap ass mom got you theknock off clothes, and Mike is like what is that smell? and Jonathon is like pass the dutchie over here is my best friend because I literally don't remember the person I was six months agoMike is like oh cool, because nothing phases him in that hat,it's radioactive and bad vibes nor critical thoughts can penetrate it. El lies and lies some more and Will looks like Chrissyat the end of the last episode because of how many times he rolls his eyes at his lying sister (aww!) Also… Murray is there. Robin and Steve want to merge and form a datable person named Reve… Lucas is puking and we are led to believe that he's hungoverbut remember Chrissy threw up in the last episode too. I think that's just what happens when you spend more than one hour with Jason. Max goes to Dustin and is like “Eddie is Ted Bundy” andDustin is like “No way!” and she's like “Maybe?” and he's like “You think?” and she's like “No, I'm not really sure what my stance is supposed to be, but we have to get this plot moving” Murray tells Joyce that her boyfriend has been fried like somuch toast and we can all see that she just got botox. And she's like I disagree with one of those things, but I'm offended by both But they are both wrong because Hopper is an elephant and an elephant doesn't snitch (isn't that the quote?)… unlike his daughter who apparently is a snitch because she dared to get bullied in front of a teacher and the whole town including adults that work at the skating rink bully her like CarrieThe cops show up to tell Jason his hair should not look likethat after sleeping on the floor of an abandoned burger place and he starts singing “I'm just Ken” and my girlfriend was just a mannequin in my life but I'm going to go scream in the woods and then he's like "I'm going to be the most normal about this that anyone has ever been about anything. So where do you guys think I could get some tar and feathers?” Jonathon says “I'm emo” and his talking bong is like “pfftweed” enough said. Joyce calls Russia and is like “Can you help me get myboyfriend back?” and tippi hedren is like this is the wrong phone booth and she's like Murray, reroute. Hopper is in prison for letting the Duffer Brothers do whatthey did to me at the end of season 5 Jason transforms from being Kenough into being Tyler Durden Nancy talks to Uncle wayne and he thinks Freddie Kruegerkilled Chrissy in the dreamworld and honestly he's not that far off. Fred follows the sound of a clock into the forest as you do Will is like “Mike you're a bad friend” and Mike is like “Notjust friend… best friend” wink Angela who we thought couldn't get worse is like “Heyjane isn't it hilarious that your dad is dead” and Jane is like I'm Eleven so stfu and the thwop heard round the world happens as a roller skate finds it's true place in the skull of “this bitch” FAFO Angela Finding a lead, the family video gang goes to thehouse of a mythical drug dealer… as one does… and Steve is like “Imma poke this boat” and dustin is like “bad idea” and steve is like “Why” and the boat stands up and tries to kill him but actually it's Kas the bloody handed… I mean Eddieand he gives us a tearful account of why he's innocentFred gets the Chrissy treatment as Eddie describes it and Venca LIVES! In an attic? Okay my guy, you need a towel or something to dry off, the squelching is getting out of hand.

Secrets have a short shelf life in Hawkins, and Chapter Four of Stranger Things: Tales From '85 puts that truth front and center. A rattled Mike decides it is time to come clean to Hopper, setting off a chain of events that builds into a tense, action-packed race against something monstrous. Meanwhile, Dustin pulls Steve into the Hawkins Investigators Club, Nikki welcomes Will into her world with a trip to the mosh pit, and Lucas and Max carve out a moment of normalcy at the arcade. It is a quieter setup that explodes into anything but quiet by the time Dustin and Steve are incinerating monsters to keep the confession from spiraling into disaster. In this episode, Darrell and Addi break down everything Chapter Four brings to the table. They dig into Mike's decision to go to Hopper, what it means for the group's secrecy going forward, and the quiet tension that makes the episode's payoff hit so hard. They also get into Steve's long-overdue entry into the H.I.C., what his dynamic with Dustin adds to the animated series, and how Nikki and Will's mosh pit moment continues to build her place in the gang. Plus, Darrell and Addi weigh in on how "The Confession" balances humor, heart, and genuine stakes, and what this episode sets up as Tales From '85 heads into its second half.

NEW BOOK -- The Price of Becoming Buy it -- www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. Jim Collins is the author of some of the most influential business books ever written — Good to Great, Built to Last, and Great by Choice. His concepts have become part of the leadership vocabulary. Level 5 Leadership. The Flywheel. First Who, Then What. The Hedgehog Concept. He spent more than a decade at Stanford as a professor and has advised CEOs, four-star generals, and heads of state. His new book is What to Make of a Life: Cliffs, Fog, Fire, and the Self-Knowledge Imperative. It is the product of ten years of research and is the most personal thing he has ever written. We flew to Boulder, Colorado, to record this one in person with Jim. Key Learnings Jim's grandfather wrote his own death story. Jimmy Collins was a test pilot in the 1930s. He told Jim's grandmother, Dolores, that if he died, she should pull the last chapter from his desk and publish it. He died in a test crash. After the service, she pulled out the chapter. The title was "I'm Dead." The last chapter, written in first person, described the plane coming out of the sky, the screaming wings, the crash. The final words, by his own pen: "I am dead now." For seven decades, his grandmother never cried. When Jim asked her in her nineties to tell the story of his grandfather, she cried and said, "Thank you for that. I've never cried before." She'd been a single mom in the middle of the Depression. Of all the things Jim feels good about in his life, asking her to tell that story before she died at almost 100 years old is one he's most proud of. A cliff is an event that alters the trajectory of your life and forces you to reconstruct everything that comes after. Jim's first big cliff: he lost his father while his father was still alive. Jim's father took the family to San Francisco in the 1960s. They lived a few houses down from Haight Street. When a man was shot dead on their doorstep, Jim's mom moved them to Boulder. They lived in a cold basement with cots and a hot plate. They couldn't afford a Christmas tree, so Jim and his brother rolled a boulder into the basement and called it their Christmas rock. The Greyhound bus moment. In high school, Jim took a Thanksgiving turkey on a Greyhound bus down to New Mexico, where his father was living in an adobe hut with a dirt floor. He had this romantic vision: they'd cook the turkey, share Thanksgiving, bond as father and son. The whole weekend, his father had no interest in him. He spent it trying to convince Jim to convince his grandmother to give him money. On the bus ride home, looking out the window into the fog, Jim realized: there will never, ever be a father there. No male role models. No frameworks. No guidance. "I've got this one life. What do I do with it?" The inflection point in Jim's life is Joanne. They got engaged four days after their first date. He'd admired her from afar for years but never had the courage to ask her out. Once they were together, Jim began a conscious process: I need to become a person worthy of being married to her. He didn't know exactly what that meant or how to get there. But he knew that was the work. Forty-six years later, it's still a never-ending journey. What Joanne does brilliantly: she sees what needs attention. Jim is encoded to hear it. Someone once asked Joanne what she thought Jim's greatest strength was. She said: "Jim takes critical feedback better than any person I've ever met." Joanne sees what needs attention. Jim hears it. Then they adapt and adjust. That's the inner flywheel of their marriage. Circle the wagons together. Guns pointing out, never at each other. When life gets really difficult, whether it's disease or other cliffs. You are always together. Always on the inside of the wagons. Never aimed at each other. Joanne won the 1985 Hawaii Ironman by 92 seconds. With a hamstring injury that limited her running training to 16 miles a week, she came off the bike with a 10-minute lead. Then mile by mile, the lead shrank. Nine minutes. Eight. Seven. With a few miles left, she stopped in the middle of the lava field, massaging her legs, almost pleading with them to run. She looked up at the sky. Then her gaze fixed somewhere down the road. She started to run. You're racing for self-respect. Joanne told Jim afterward: in the end, you're racing to know that you couldn't have run a step faster. Only you'll know. If you know you couldn't have run a step faster, that's actually winning. When Jim writes, he's on the lava fields. When he finishes a book, he wants to know he couldn't have written one sentence better. When you're on the lava fields, this is the moment you want to quit. Don't. Writing is thinking. When the writing isn't working, the thinking isn't clear. Go back to the data. Find the through-line. There are three types of luck: What luck. A cancer diagnosis. A guitar left in an empty house. An event that breaks your way. Who luck. The people who walk into your life. Joanne. Morten Hansen. Jerry Porras. Bill Lazier. Zeit luck. When what you're doing intersects with the surrounding zeitgeist. Jimmy Page was in Surrey when the British rock explosion happened. Luck is an event you didn't cause, with significant consequences, and an element of surprise. The big winners weren't luckier. They had a higher return on luck. What you do with luck events matters more than the luck itself. Bill Lazier: the closest thing to a father Jim ever had. Jim ended up in Bill's class at Stanford because the class he was trying to take was full. The random course-sorting mechanism threw him into the first class Bill ever taught. Pure WHO luck. Jim did not cause that. Discover your encodings. An encoding is a durable capacity of your intrinsic construction that resides within, awaiting discovery through the experiences of life. Jim has done over 300 online courses on every imaginable subject. Constitutional law. Napoleon. World War I. The history of China. He started them to learn how to teach. Then his curiosity took over. That's what an encoding looks like in the wild. You have a constellation of encodings. Like stars. When your life captures a bright set of those encodings, you're in frame. When it doesn't, you're out of frame. The same person can look amazing in frame and not very amazing out of frame. The most important finding from this book: don't follow anyone else's advice. Their advice is well-meaning. It may have worked beautifully for them. But it worked for them because it flowed from their encodings. And their encodings are not your encodings. Barbara McClintock and Grace Hopper. Two women who won the Nobel Prize and shaped computer science. McClintock was encoded for solitary work. She didn't even have a phone. She heard about her Nobel Prize on the radio. Hopper was encoded to work through people. She kept a pirate flag in her office and once stole furniture for her team in the middle of the night. Two completely different encodings. What they shared: their lives were in alignment with their encodings. Leadership is the art of getting people to want to do what must be done. It's not a trait. It's a choice. Anyone in any organization can lead, depending on their desire to make a difference. Nobody needs to wait for a title. Ryan's encoding is "the relentless persistence of invitation." Jim observed that Ryan has incredible encodings for what he'd describe as attractive persistence. Not pushy. Not aggressive. But persistent and welcoming. The invitation never goes away. The way you lead should be different from everyone else. Because you are encoded differently. Trust your encodings, not their playbook. Roger Sherman saved the U.S. Constitution. Twice. He created the bicameral legislature compromise. He insisted the Bill of Rights be amendments, not rewrites. Yet most people don't know his name. He almost never spoke. He listened in committees and waited for the precise moment to introduce just the right point to turn American history. Quiet. Behind the scenes. Uncharismatic. Unglamorous. Enormously effective. That was his encoding. You should largely ignore what other successful leaders did. It's marvelous to listen to. It might give you ideas. But everything that worked for them reflected their encodings, not yours. The work isn't to copy their playbook. The work is to discover your encodings and trust them. The color of Jim's fire changed. When he was younger, his fuel was rage, fury, and a sense of terror with no safety net. He used to worry that if he ever lost it, he'd lose his drive. What replaced it was a different kind of fire: the joy of curiosity, of being lost in giant projects, of marvelous conversations, of sharing what he's learned. His drive is higher than ever. It just feels a lot better now. The 3x3 reflective practice. After almost any conversation, teaching moment, or significant interaction, Jim writes down three things that went well and three things he could have done better. He's done it for years. He's now systematizing it. He doesn't pause to celebrate. He pauses to learn quickly and move on. At the top of Jim's notes for this conversation: "The biggest reminder for today, reconnecting with an old friend." That's the celebration. What could be a better celebration than reconnecting with somebody you've had marvelous conversations with? Reflection Questions What is your most significant cliff? What did you reconstruct on the other side, and what are you still rebuilding? What are your encodings? Not what you've been told you should be, but what genuinely flows from your intrinsic construction. When have you felt most in frame? Like Jim with Joanne, is there a person or purpose you are actively trying to become worthy of? What would that work look like this week?
