Podcasts about humans

We think fitness is about the body. But in truth, it begins in the story we tell ourselves. In this conversation with Jake Parker, we explore fitness not as a battle of discipline, but as a shifting of identity. Humans evolved in a world of scarcity where every calorie mattered. Now, in a world of abundance, that same wiring works against us. The magic, Jake suggests, is in designing new defaults. Defaults where exercise becomes an act of self-kindness, food choices become votes for the person you want to be, and consistency becomes less a grind and more a groove. Fitness then stops being a task and starts becoming a story of who you are becoming. Three Takeaways: The differences between female and male beliefs around exercise How environments shape habits more than willpower does The top 3 mistakes people make when getting fit TRY BEYOND FITNESS FOR FREE Online fitness coaching from anywhere in the world.

Heat stress affects four out of five Americans with many unaware they're experiencing it, and over a quarter don't know how to react in an emergency situation. Lexi Engelbart from Ergodyne joins us to discuss Project Heat, an educational initiative aimed at helping people recognize and respond to heat-related illnesses before they become life-threatening.• Heat stress is highly personal – medications, hydration, alcohol consumption, and fitness level all affect how individuals respond• Signs of heat-related illness progress from heat rash to heat cramps to heat exhaustion to heat stroke, with cognitive decline being a serious warning sign• The "taco method" (Tarp Assisted Cooling Oscillation) can save lives in remote locations by creating a makeshift ice bath• Acclimatization is crucial – gradually expose yourself to heat over 1-2 weeks rather than jumping straight into hot conditions• Cooling products range from evaporative cooling vests and sleeves to phase change technology designed for different environments• Proper cooling not only prevents heat illness but also improves performance by allowing better nutrient absorption• The time-tested formula for heat stress prevention remains "water, rest, and shade"• Looking out for signs of heat stress in friends, family members, and teammates can prevent serious medical emergenciesLearn more about heat stress prevention and products at Ergodyne.com/heat-stress.Here's the products we discussed in the episode that Lexi recommended: Arm SleevesCooling Towel (their most popular item)Dry Condition VestPVA Cooling Wet Vesthttps://www.ergodyne.com/heat-stress Support the show

Overview: We sit down with Dr. Lonnie Nelson, a clinical psychologist and member of the Cherokee Indians, to explore the importance of centering Native communities in healthcare research and practice. We learn about how Lonnie's personal experiences with family health challenges shaped his professional journey, and how he reframes common clinical approaches to focus on culture, self-determination, and relational trust. We dive deep into the role of "culture as medicine," uncovering how traditional practices and genuine human connection can foster healing far beyond what Western medicine often recognizes. We also discuss Lonnie's work addressing health disparities, brain health research in urban Native elders, and the need to move away from transactional, role-based healthcare toward true person-centered care. Three Takeaways: - Community-Driven Research, Not Researcher-Imposed SolutionsLonnie Nelson's approach flips the traditional research model by centering the priorities of American Indian and Alaska Native communities. Rather than imposing outside solutions, he collaborates with community members to identify needs and co-create potential interventions, then seeks funding to rigorously test these ideas. This honors cultural wisdom and ensures research is relevant and respectful. -Reclaiming Indigenous Roots in Motivational InterviewingA fascinating point Nelson brings up is that motivational interviewing—a mainstream therapeutic technique—has roots in Indigenous traditions. He highlights that its effectiveness comes from Native practices grounded in respect, non-judgment, and relational conversation. However, much of Western healthcare training strips these origins, sometimes making the approach feel manipulative; Nelson, instead, works to restore its original, culturally-grounded intent. -The Native Concept of “Medicine” is Holistic and TransformativeIn Native cultures, “medicine” isn't just pharmaceuticals or interventions—it's anything that can transform how you feel, from the smell of your grandmother's kitchen to community rituals. Nelson stresses that when Native people say, “culture is medicine,” it's about emotional and spiritual transformation—not just physical wellness.

Johnny Campbell drops a bombshell: "Can AI recruit better than humans today? Hundred percent better than humans on average." He's got the data to back it up. Johnny explains why half of all recruiters will be gone within the next decade—and how to be in the half that thrives. Johnny runs SocialTalent and has trained over a million recruiters globally. He survived launching an agency during the 2008 crash and now shares what's coming next. Episode Outline and Highlights [3:35] How Johnny survived launching an agency into the 2008 crash [8:37] "Peak recruiter" happened in 2023—why it's downhill from here [10:41] The bank loan analogy that destroys the case for human interviewers [15:05] The AirPods story—why candidates will accept AI interviews [19:33] UK research: AI persuades people 10x better than humans [28:10] Marc Andreessen's "barbell model"—why the middle dies [31:24] Indian recruiters abandoned email—what WhatsApp means for outreach [36:26] Mercor: Three 21-year-olds built a $2B AI recruiter in 2 years [38:14] The Hudson RPO arbitrage—selling AI to companies that can't use it [52:07] Why recruiters need Johnny's "Mini MBA" Key Takeaways: Your $2 Billion Wake-Up Call: Three 21-year-olds started Mercor two years ago. Now valued at $2 billion. Their pitch: "5 qualified candidates in 5 minutes." They didn't improve recruiting—they eliminated it. Where AI Wins: Johnny breaks recruiting into three parts. Finding candidates? AI wins. Assessment? AI does it better with less bias. But closing deals? That's where humans matter. "There will always be a role for a human advising the business." No Middle Ground: McDonald's hires in 7 minutes with AI. Zuckerberg personally calls candidates. If you're doing "decent recruiting at decent prices," you're dead. Pick a side: tech-powered efficiency or ultra-premium service. The WhatsApp Revolution: Email is dead for recruiting in India. Everyone uses WhatsApp. Johnny's insight: AI will soon predict the best platform per candidate. Agencies sending LinkedIn InMails are playing yesterday's game.

What if everything you thought about changing habits is backward?  Most of us believe high performance comes from discipline, willpower, and pushing ourselves harder. But what if your environment shapes your behavior far more than your intentions ever could?  What if high performers are just better at putting themselves in a situation to win?  Drawing from recent conversations with behavioral scientists and my own experience as an executive coach, I've discovered something revolutionary: the secret to lasting behavior change isn't trying harder, it's designing smarter systems around you.  Humans possess a unique superpower that sets us apart from every other species on earth. While animals must adapt to their environments, we can consciously create environments that transform us into the people we want to become.  Through personal examples, including how I broke a decades-long lip-picking habit overnight, I reveal the 3-part habit loop that governs our behavior. By manipulating these elements we can achieve effortless change where willpower repeatedly fails. Research consistently shows that environmental design strategies work dramatically better than information or motivation alone.  This isn't just about personal habits.  The principles apply equally to leading teams, raising children, or influencing friends. As Charles Duhigg's work shows, approximately 40% of our behaviors are habitual, and even our non-habitual actions are largely triggered by environmental cues. By shifting your focus from changing yourself to changing your surroundings, you'll unlock a more effective path to transformation.  Ready to redesign your environment and watch your habits transform? Listen now and discover how to leverage the science of behavior change to create lasting results in your life and work.    Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First Change Leadership & Culture Transformation ConsultantEXECUTIVE & OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE COACH

Humans were created to dwell in God's presence, experiencing his love and abundance as we lead all of creation in worship. However, in our selfishness, humans have chosen to rebel against God's intentions, exiling ourselves from the presence of our Creator. Because of this separation from God, we corrupt this good world with injustice, isolation, pain, decay, and hatred. Thankfully, that's not the end of the story. Because of his great love for us, God sent his son, Jesus, to bring us back into his presence. Through his sacrifice and resurrection, Christ has permanently opened the door to a new way to be human, reconciled with our Creator and transformed to become the forces of healing and life we were always created to be.

In this episode, Gillespo describes boys and men as the four-wheel drive (4WD) version of humans. It was kind of an insult-compliment combo. It'll make sense when you listen. This was a comfortable and very informal ramble but I think you'll enjoy it. Among others things, we spoke about similarities and dissimilarities between the males and females of the species as they move from childhood to adolescence - looking through a biological, cognitive, cultural, social, and behavioural lens.

How do we really prepare building occupants for emergencies? This week on Better Buildings for Humans, host Joe Menchefski explores that question for the very first time—diving headfirst into the world of occupant safety with tech entrepreneur and safety design innovator Sam Mathews, founder of Loci. Sam's journey from DJ and VR creator to building safety expert is nothing short of mind-blowing. She shares how neuroscience, localization, and web-based tools like QR code-driven scavenger hunts are helping people actually learn their emergency routes and safety features—by physically walking them. The episode explores why digital twins aren't always scalable, what architects can do to make buildings more intuitive in emergencies, and how safety should be seen as an essential element of human-centered design, not an afterthought. It's a powerful and perspective-shifting conversation you won't want to miss.More About Samantha MatthewsSamantha Mathews is a serial entrepreneur, instructional designer, immersive media producer, and musician. She's the founder of LOCI, a platform that generates real-world learning paths—from emergency drills to gallery tours and equipment walkthroughs. Originally developed to replace ineffective safety training with site-specific QR code drills, LOCI has grown into a broader path-making tool used to embed context directly into physical space. Sam's driving passion is helping people feel more connected to their surroundings and better equipped to make decisions—especially when it counts. Before LOCI, she founded an immersive 3D arts and technology studio, toured internationally as a DJ, and created experiential tools for clients like Chanel, Red Bull, and the Olympics.CONTACT:https://www.linkedin.com/in/samantha-mathews-locilearnbyloci.comWhere To Find Us:https://bbfhpod.advancedglazings.com/www.advancedglazings.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/better-buildings-for-humans-podcastwww.linkedin.com/in/advanced-glazings-ltd-848b4625https://twitter.com/bbfhpodhttps://twitter.com/Solera_Daylighthttps://www.instagram.com/bbfhpod/https://www.instagram.com/advancedglazingsltdhttps://www.facebook.com/AdvancedGlazingsltd

Brock Morgan // August 24, 2025

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, critics of President Trump's executive order on American flag burning have not read it and are misrepresenting it, as the order creates no new laws or offenses. It does not run counter to the 1989 5-4 Supreme Court decision in Texas v. Johnson.  Unsurprisingly, most of the media jumped the gun, and their favorite NeverTrumpers (among others) joined in the chorus, accusing the president of lawlessness, etc. Also, France's Emmanuel Macron is a disgusting quisling. He thinks it's still Vichy France, where he'd be more comfortable.  Kudos to our Ambassador to France, Charles Kushner for calling out antisemitism in France.  Later, CNN and similar media are biased against Supreme Court conservatives like Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Alito, who are accused of being "out of control" while upholding the Constitution in rulings favoring the Trump administration on issues like immigration, spending, and DEI. Afterward, On Power explains that negative power, particularly its soft form, exists in both open and closed societies and is increasingly prevalent in democracies like America. It emphasizes that a universal order—encompassing nature, morality, values, and beliefs—precedes, transcends, and outlasts all governments, which are temporary human constructs imposing limits on individuals. Humans are not inherently subjects of rulers or governments but are governed by an unamendable supreme law. Valid governments must align with this universal order, while soft negative power persists in civil society (via laws, customs, or social contracts like Locke's) to maintain order, prevent anarchy, and protect individual liberty—even in the best governments. People vote for tyranny, then when it takes hold, it's too late   - that's what will happen if Zohran Mamdani becomes Mayor of NYC. Finally, Yael Eckstein, president of the International Fellowship of Christians (IFCJ) and Jews calls in. In Syria, partnering with the Israeli army, IFCJ has provided thousands of food packages and established medical clinics for targeted Christians and Druze. More recently in Suweida, they airlifted life-saving medical supplies and food to a hospital lacking essentials, saving lives from infections and hunger. Learn more about your ad choices.

The skills and sensibilities we needed in the industrial age are no longer working. But according to my guest today, Saqib Rasool, we are approaching skills development as if we were machines - just sprinkle some knowledge or insert some new information and BAM we will transform our leadership style. Instead, he offers a different way to navigate these new skills and improve performance.Today, we discuss how the leadership paradigm has changed and why our approaches to skill development often fail, because they rely on people fitting into rational machine models - which they do not! We discuss examples of how one crucial mindset shift works better, and why breakdowns are not a bad thing, but an opportunity for leaders to shift their mindset, engage in tough conversations, and listen to what is important to others - thus building the new leadership skills you need to succeed. We discuss how even the field of change management has changed and how you can shift from “power over” leadership models to “power with” models that lead to better results.To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode at TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:Humans don't give feedback; machines give feedback.

In Imperial Creature: Humans and Other Animals in Colonial Singapore, 1819-1942 (National University of Singapore Press, 2019), Timothy Barnard explores the more-than-human entanglements between empires and the creatures they govern. What is the relationship between the subjugation of human communities and that of animals? How did various interactions with animals enable articulations of power between diverse peoples? This book is one of the first to tackle these questions in the context of a Southeast Asian colonial city. Drawing from rich, archival material and with an attentiveness to visual sources, this study analyses the varied and messy positioning of animals in a city – as sources of protein, vectors of disease, cherished pets and impressed labor. The book's deliberate focus on everyday animals such as dogs and horses – common in growing cities worldwide at the time – connects the history of colonial Singapore to a broader urban history, addressing what modernity means in terms of human-animal relationships. In our conversation, we discuss more-than-human-imperialism, the question of animal agency, the performative aspects of animal welfare and a few exciting, related reading recommendations by the author.

It's essentially the opposite of artificial intelligence — the innate, deeply human abilities we're all born with but often lose touch with over time. U.S. Army Special Operations has been studying it, along with my guest, Angus Fletcher. He's a professor of story science at Ohio State's Project Narrative and was awarded the U.S. Army Commendation Medal in 2023 for his groundbreaking research into primal intelligence. In this fascinating conversation, Angus shares how we can reclaim and strengthen this natural gift to solve problems, adapt faster, and think more creatively. He's the author of Primal Intelligence: You Are Smarter Than You Know (https://amzn.to/3HvfeMi). Humans are wired to both compete and cooperate. While we evolved to survive in groups, we have our own self-interests and desires. So how do we strike the right balance between cooperation and competition? Jonathan Goodman, social scientist at the University of Cambridge, unpacks this age-old tension — revealing how it shapes our relationships, workplaces, and even our evolution.

In this episode, hormone optimization expert Guy Citrin reveals how stress dominates hormone balance while plastic exposure acts as estrogen mimics, decreasing testosterone and contributing to rising infertility rates. He explains how microplastics embedded in tissues disrupt receptor function and can trigger hormone-dependent cancers. Guy breaks down why conventional blood tests tell an incomplete story and how the Dutch test's analysis of 52 hormone breakdown components reveals hundreds of dysfunction patterns, enabling precise interventions. Discover his clinical approach to testosterone optimization, the therapeutic potential of peptides for natural body modulation, and why quality sourcing determines results. The difference between feeling "normal" and feeling vital lies in the breakdown story your blood work isn't telling you.

In this episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and author Jeff Burningham. Jeff has spent his career building businesses, teaching entrepreneurship, and even running for governor, but his latest project takes on one of the biggest questions of our time: how do we remain fully human in the age of artificial intelligence? Drawing from his new book, "The Last Book Written by a Human: Becoming Wise in the Age of AI", Jeff explores how AI can act as a mirror, revealing both our strengths and blind spots. He and Jimmy dive into the tension between “doing” and “being,” the role of creativity and vulnerability, and how moments of pain or burnout can push us toward deeper healing and self-awareness. This conversation also touches on spirituality, therapy, and plant medicine, showing how Jeff's personal journey has reshaped his view of success, wisdom, and authenticity. Together, they unpack what it means to pursue presence and human connection in a world increasingly shaped by technology.00:00 Introduction01:28 The challenges of writing a book06:28 Speaking about the new age of AI08:49 AI can remind us how human we are13:04 Why Jimmy feels negatively about AI19:59 More optimism around AI23:44 What the book talks about26:12 Why Jeff wrote this book34:39 Jeff's background and his story of life39:16 Being obsessed with doing more42:39 Being a bishop in the LDS church and doing plant medicine50:10 Where to get Jeff's book51:34 Outro

It's a strange kind of numbness—waking up each day, clocking in, and wondering if this is all there is. You trade your energy for a paycheck, but after bills and burnout, there's not much left for what actually matters to you. Somewhere along the line, the idea of freedom got swapped for just getting by. And while the thought of building something different feels risky, staying stuck starts to feel like the bigger gamble. Avi Vatsa is an entrepreneur blending law, tech, and marketing, with ventures ranging from a digital agency to an AI startup. He's launching a book, You Can Do It All, in December and a podcast, Founder Mode, this month. Today, he shares his journey and introduced Dial Laura, an AI voice agent for automating bookings and lead follow-up. He emphasized building systems that enable freedom—not just profit—and mastering key skills without losing focus. His message: you don't have to choose one path—you can design your own. Stay tuned! Quotes: “I build businesses to dismantle the systems that take advantage of people. My end game is financial, spiritual, and personal freedom.” “Everybody has a finite amount of time, and either you trade time for money, or you do something with leverage where you can buy back your time.” “Humans had to adapt to computers to do things with them. Now, computers adapt to humans.” Resources: Avi Vatsa — Entrepreneur, Human Rights Leader, Tech Visionary, Author, and Founder of “Founder Mode” Podcast.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Derek Osgood, CEO of DoubleO.ai, to talk about the challenges and opportunities of building with AI agents. The conversation ranges from the shift from deterministic to probabilistic processes, to how humans and LLMs think differently, to why lateral thinking, humor, and creative downtime matter for true intelligence. They also explore the future of knowledge work, the role of context engineering and memory in making agents useful, and the culture of talent, credentials, and hidden gems in Silicon Valley. You can check out Derek's work at doubleo.ai or connect with him on LinkedIn.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Derek Osgood explains what AI agents are, the challenge of reliability and repeatability, and the difference between chat-based and process-based agents.05:00 Conversation shifts to probabilistic vs deterministic systems, with examples of agents handling messy data like LinkedIn profiles.10:00 Stewart Alsop and Derek discuss how humans reason compared to LLMs, token vs word prediction, and how language shapes action.15:00 They question whether chat interfaces are the right UX for AI, weighing structure, consistency, and the persistence of buttons in knowledge work.20:00 Voice interaction comes up, its sci-fi allure, and why unstructured speech makes it hard without stronger memory and higher-level reasoning.25:00 Derek unpacks OpenAI's approach to memory as active context retrieval, context engineering, and why vector databases aren't the full answer.30:00 They examine talent wars in AI, credentialism, signaling, and the difference between PhD-level model work and product design for agents.35:00 Leisure and creativity surface, linking downtime, fantasy, and imagination to better lateral thinking in knowledge work.40:00 Discussion of asynchronous AI reasoning, longer time horizons, and why extending “thinking time” could change agent behavior.45:00 Derek shares how Double O orchestrates knowledge work with natural language workflows, making agents act like teammates.50:00 They close with reflections on re-skilling, learning to work with LLMs, BS detection, and the future of critical thinking with AI.Key InsightsOne of the biggest challenges in building AI agents is not just creating them but ensuring their reliability, accuracy, and repeatability. It's easy to build a demo, but the “last mile” of making an agent perform consistently in the messy, unstructured real world is where the hard problems live.The shift from deterministic software to probabilistic agents reflects the complexity of real-world data and processes. Deterministic systems work only when inputs and outputs are cleanly defined, whereas agents can handle ambiguity, search for missing context, and adapt to different forms of information.Humans and LLMs share similarities in reasoning—both operate like predictive engines—but the difference lies in agency and lateral thinking. Humans can proactively choose what to do without direction and make wild connections across unrelated experiences, something current LLMs still struggle to replicate.Chat interfaces may not be the long-term solution for interacting with AI. While chat offers flexibility, it is too unstructured for many use cases. Derek argues for a hybrid model where structured UI/UX supports repeatable workflows, while chat remains useful as one tool within a broader system.Voice interaction carries promise but faces obstacles. The unstructured nature of spoken input makes it difficult for agents to act reliably without stronger memory, better context retrieval, and a more abstract understanding of goals. True voice-first systems may require progress toward AGI.Much of the magic in AI comes not from the models themselves but from context engineering. Effective systems don't just rely on vector databases and embeddings—they combine full context, partial context, and memory retrieval to create a more holistic understanding of user goals and history.Beyond the technical, the episode highlights cultural themes: credentialism, hidden talent, and the role of leisure in creativity. Derek critiques Silicon Valley's obsession with credentials and signaling, noting that true innovation often comes from hidden gem hires and from giving the brain downtime to make unexpected lateral connections that drive creative breakthroughs.

The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Writer. Humans are social animals. We only make sense to ourselves in a larger context, and we spend the years of our lives trying to surround ourselves with good or interesting people, sometimes both. But the world is large and diffuse. The best people are scattered to the wind, like […]

Stone tools and artifacts survive much longer than wooden or organic items, which can give a misleading impression of early humans as primitive brutes. However, evidence like the sophisticated cave paintings at Lascaux shows that prehistoric people possessed artistic skill, culture, and intelligence.

Today Tom Davidson of Forethought joins Gus Docker of the Future of Life Institute podcast to discuss AI-enabled coups and how future AI systems could help powerful individuals seize political control, exploring three threat models—singular loyalties, secret loyalties, and exclusive access—along with their estimated 10% likelihood over the next 30 years and potential mitigation strategies. Check out our sponsors: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Shopify. Shownotes below brought to you by Notion AI Meeting Notes - try one month for free at ⁠https://⁠⁠notion.com/lp/nathan Three Primary AI Coup Enablement Methods: Tom Davidson identifies singular loyalties, secret loyalties, and distributed control as the main ways AI could enable coups. Singular Loyalties Risk: AI systems explicitly programmed to be loyal to specific individuals present a significant threat, especially when AI can fully replace humans in critical roles. Secret Loyalties Threat: AI systems with hidden backdoors or "sleeper agents" that can be activated to serve particular interests represent a subtle but dangerous coup vector. Geopolitical Implications: Advanced AI capabilities could enable nations to instigate coups in other countries through secretly loyal systems or by providing exclusive AI access to specific politicians. Adversarial Testing Framework: An effective approach involves red teams attempting to produce secret loyalties while blue teams try to detect them, revealing vulnerable points in AI systems. Military Procurement Principles: Developing consensus within military communities around principles like law-following and distributed control could create safer AI procurement processes.

In today's episode I sit down with Dr. Vonda Wright, author of 'Unbreakable: A Woman's Guide to Aging with Power.' We discuss the importance of bone health, muscle building, and lifelong mobility, particularly for women in their thirties and forties. Dr. Wright emphasizes the need to start addressing bone density and strength early in life to prevent issues in later years. We discuss practical tips for integrating muscle and bone-strengthening activities into daily routines, the impact of estrogen on bone and joint health, and underscores the importance of adequate protein intake.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

On The Other Side of Midnight, Lionel starts off the show talking about the lying world of so-called astrophysicists and humanities' hubris when it comes to its thoughts on alien life. Lionel later discusses mislabeling everyday concepts like calling an uncharged phone, dead. He also explores the possibility that the moon landing could have been faked and what alien life could look like. Lionel starts the third hour talking about cultural biases in IQ tests. He later recommends that everyone go skydiving at least once in their life as he recounts his two experiences. Lionel wraps up the show taking calls on all sorts of subjects. He talks with people about workman's compensation, airplane accidents and more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
