Hiring can feel like a test you're supposed to pass.You check references.You trust your gut.You believe in someone.And then something happens — they struggle, disappoint you, drift, or leave suddenly.And the messaging comes fast:“The wrong hire is expensive.”“You should have vetted better.”“This is what happens when you trust too quickly.”In this episode, Chanie Wilschanski names the toxic hiring myth school leaders are swimming in: the belief that if you hire the “right person,” the problems stop — and you can finally rest.But hiring isn't the moment you eliminate risk.Hiring is the moment you agree to lead humanity.This is not a tips-and-tricks episode. It's a reality reset for school leaders who are tired of blaming themselves every time a hire doesn't go exactly as planned — and ready to lead with steadier rhythms that can hold trust when life shows up.In This Episode, You'll LearnThe hiring myth that turns leadership into a moral test of your intelligenceWhy “responsibility equals foresight” is a trap for school leadersWhat hiring actually means — and what it never meantWhy you can't interview for grief, stress, burnout, or life disruptionsThe interview fallacy and why better questions won't create safetyThe difference between trusting once vs. building trust through rhythmThe three post-hire rhythms that create predictable safety:Alignment rhythmsOne-on-one rhythmsRupture & repair rhythmsHiring is a choice.Leadership is a relationship.And when we stop trying to choose our way out of relational work, we build school cultures that can hold both standards and humanity.If this episode named something real — especially the invisible weight school leaders carry after a hire — This Can't Be Normal is now available.

This week on Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, fills the studio with Green for a discussion about parenting in the age of climate chaos! Our guests this week are Megan Green, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Woven Nest Counseling and Coaching; and longtime local sustainability advocate, Jackie Green. Though unrelated, they are co-facilitators of a new free monthly workshop series coming up called “The Parent, Child and Climate Change.” It kicks off this weekend and will be held on third Saturdays, beginning February 21, 2026 from 2pm til 3pm at Highlands Community Ministries, 1228 E Breckinridge St (at Barret). Earth Home 40202, an initiative you heard about on this program back in October, is launching this supportive, empowering, health based, community building program for parents and older children. The program is free, but please let us know if you plan to attend by emailing earth.home.40202@gmail.com. Learn more about Earth Home 40202 at https://www.bikecourier.org/earth-home-40202/ or Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/people/Deep-Ecology-Louisville/61581836699217/ Parenting today happens in the context of constant uncertainty—climate change, social instability, economic stress—and our nervous systems are taking that in whether we name it or not. Climate anxiety isn't a disorder; it's a nervous system response to ongoing, unresolved threat. Our bodies are designed to detect danger, and climate change is a chronic, future-oriented stressor. Many parents are quietly carrying fear and grief about the world their children are inheriting. That often shows up as burnout, urgency, irritability, or feeling like they're never doing enough. Children sense the state of the adults around them. They don't need all the information, but they feel the regulation—or dysregulation—of the nervous systems caring for them. From a nervous-system lens, anxiety and behavioral struggles aren't signs of weakness or bad parenting; they're signals that the system is overwhelmed. Our mental and emotional health are deeply connected to our environment. Humans regulate better with access to nature, sunlight, rhythm, and sensory safety—we are not separate from the natural world. Environmental degradation impacts mental health not just psychologically, but physiologically. When the environment feels unsafe, nervous systems stay on high alert. A nervous-system perspective shifts the question from “What's wrong with parents or kids?” to “What has their nervous system been asked to carry?” Regulation and connection are foundational—not luxuries. When nervous systems are supported, people have more capacity for hope, care, and meaningful action. Slowing down, repairing relationships, and spending time in nature are not passive responses; they are stabilizing acts that support both individual well-being and collective resilience. Hope doesn't come from denying reality. It comes from feeling safe enough to face hard truths while staying connected to one another. Supporting parents' nervous systems is a form of future care—for children, communities, and the planet.

Artificial intelligence or the pandemics were two recentcrises framed as almost magical non-human actors. They both reshaped the boundaries of human agency. By now,the language explaining them is often one of rupture and unprecedented transformation. AI or COVID-19 were described as opaque, autonomous and difficult to control. Both were imagined as operating beyond ordinaryaccountability, while still exerting real effects on collective life. In that sense, the anxiety does not result only from the fear of machines or unknown germs. It concerns the displacement of agency and the fragility of human beings tasked with governing forces they did not design and do not fully understand. Humans are unsettled when power seems to migrate beyond the human subject.Yet the fear of the non-human as a destabilising force isnot new. What we would like to pinpoint in our series it that societies, when confronted with such moments of rupture, authorize forms of exclusion and violence based on (ir)rationalism. Our focus throughout this series will fallon the vampire and witchcraft epidemics. European societies once confronted witches, revenants and vampires as threats to moral and political order. These figures emerged at moments of epidemic disease, religious fracture andinstitutional weakness. They offered an explanation for crisis. This new dossier revisits those episodes of collectiveanxiety. Whilst the differences between AI, pandemics and zombies, witches and undead are substantial, these moments reveal the fragile boundary between the rational state and collective hysteria. The imagery resulted can be a finebarometer of the how states respond when agency seems to escape human control or what mechanisms of blame, purification and boundary-drawing are activated.In our first podcast of this series, we discuss with Prof. John Blair, around his latest book Killing the Dead: Vampire Epidemics from Mesopotamia to the New World, published by Princeton University Press. John Blair reconstructs a world in which the dead were not metaphor but menace. His bookfollows the concept of restless bodies which stirred various social anxieties and created symbolic meanings.Drawing on both archeological sources and written sources,Prof. John Blair traces how reports of revenants and vampires spread across medieval England and later in Saxony, Bohemia and Transylvania. A particular revealing case is masticatione mortuorum (mastication of the dead), which meant the corpses that eat themselves. The book does not treat theseepisodes as a form of superstition. Instead, John Blair sees them as anthropological facts which are embedded in localconflicts and in turn reveal fragile systems of authority.Whilst one of the core tenets of Enlightenment was tofight superstition and Maria Theresa issued a ban on corpse-killing, John Blair underlines that the shifts were much more gradual. Reason did not replace fear.Blair shows that accusations of the undead surfaced where institutions were weak and explanations scarce. The exhumed body became a site of negotiation between fear and governance, even during the Enlightenment. What appearsirrational from a distance emerges, under scrutiny, as a structured response to crisis.

In this episode, Guive Assadi argues that we should give AIs property rights, so that they are integrated in our system of property and come to rely on it. The claim is that this means that AIs would not kill or steal from humans, because that would undermine the whole property system, which would be extremely valuable to them.

Title: "What Will We Do in Heaven?" - Revelation 22:3-5 Series: Heaven on Earth - Living in Light of Eternity (Week 2) Date: February 15, 2026 Most people's mental image of heaven is passive at best and boring at worst—clouds, harps, endless floating. If that's what we believe eternity looks like, it's no wonder we don't long for it. But Revelation 22:3-5 paints a radically different picture. Heaven isn't passive. It's purposeful, active, and gloriously meaningful. This week's message picks up where we left off, building on last week's foundation that God is making all things new, and answering the follow-up question every honest Christian has asked: What will we actually do there? The passage reads: "No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever." Three things Scripture reveals we will do in eternity: First, we will worship Him. The word translated "worship" in verse 3 is the Greek latreuo—it means to serve, to minister, to render sacred service. It isn't primarily about singing songs. It's giving yourself fully to someone worthy of your complete devotion. When you hear "worship forever," don't picture endless Sunday morning services. Worship in eternity will be far richer and fuller than that. Think of a concert violinist so absorbed in the music that everything else fades away—no self-consciousness, no distraction, just pure absorption in something beautiful. Athletes call it "being in the zone," artists call it "flow." That moment when what you're doing feels effortless and utterly right is a tiny glimpse of what worship in eternity will be like. Not forced, not tedious, but pure joy—doing what you were created to do, giving yourself fully to the One who is infinitely worthy. C.S. Lewis called worship the "serious business of heaven"—not grim or somber, but serious in the sense of being the most important, most satisfying thing we could ever do. What will that worship include? Verse 4 says we will see His face—not from a distance, not through a veil, but face to face, fully and clearly. In Exodus 33:20, God told Moses no one can see His face and live. But in the new creation, we will, because sin will be gone, the curse will be lifted, and we will be made perfect to stand in His presence. We will also bear His name—"his name will be on their foreheads." This isn't literal but speaks to identity and belonging: we will belong to God completely, marked as His forever. And we will serve without weariness. In this world, even our best worship gets tired. We get distracted. We lose focus. In eternity, worship will be pure joy—no distraction, no fatigue, no wandering minds, just perfect, focused devotion. The application: worship now is practice. Every act of praise, every moment of service, every time you give yourself to something eternal, you're rehearsing for heaven. Second, we will reign with Him. Verse 5 says "they will reign forever and ever." This isn't about lording power over others. It connects directly to the mandate God gave humanity in Genesis 1:28—to steward creation, to bring order from chaos, to cultivate and care for what God has made. That was the original calling. Sin corrupted it. Humans have ruled selfishly and destructively. But in the new creation, we will rule the way God intended—with wisdom, justice, love, and care. This means heaven isn't retirement. It isn't endless vacation. You will have real responsibilities. You'll govern, create, steward, and build. And the faithful servant principle from Jesus' Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25) applies directly: those who were faithful with what they were given heard "Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much." Faithfulness here prepares you for responsibility there. The way you steward your time, talents, relationships, and resources now—that's training for eternity. We will also rule with Christ Himself. Revelation 5:10 says believers will "reign on the earth." 2 Timothy 2:12 says, "If we endure, we will also reign with him." You're not just a servant in God's kingdom—you're a co-heir with Christ. We don't know all the details of what that reign will look like, but we know it will be meaningful, purposeful, and glorious. And nothing done in faithfulness is wasted. As 1 Corinthians 15:58 promises: "Your labor in the Lord is not in vain." Every act of service, every sacrifice, every moment of faithfulness counts. Third, we will work and create. Work was not part of the curse—it was part of the original design. God gave Adam and Eve meaningful work before sin entered the world. Genesis 2:15 says God put Adam in the garden "to work it and keep it." Work is good. God works. We're made in His image, and we're designed to work. What the curse did was make work frustrating, exhausting, and futile (Genesis 3:17-19). But in the new creation, the curse is gone, and work will be what it was always meant to be: creative, fulfilling, purposeful, and joyful. The story of Bezalel in Exodus 31 shows us the beauty of Spirit-filled creative work. When God commanded Moses to build the tabernacle—a physical dwelling for His presence—He chose Bezalel and filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him "ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship, to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze, in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, to work in every craft" (Exodus 31:3-5). God filled a craftsman with His Spirit to create beautiful things. Creative work honors God and glorifies Him. And in the new creation, you'll do work like that—creating, building, designing, cultivating—but without frustration, exhaustion, or futility. Isaiah 65:21-22 gives us a glimpse: "They shall build houses and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit...my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands." Building, planting, creating, enjoying. In eternity you'll use your gifts, your talents, your skills—whatever you love to do that honors God and serves others—but better, without limits, for God's glory forever. Work in eternity won't drain you; it will fulfill you. You'll be doing what you were made to do, in a body that doesn't tire, in a world where everything works the way it should. The message concluded with three practical applications for today: Worship now—every act of praise is rehearsal for eternity, so practice worship and let it become natural. Be faithful now—God is watching how you steward what He's given you, and small faithfulness prepares you for great responsibility. Work with excellence now—Colossians 3:23-24 calls us to "work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward." Heaven is not passive. It is purposeful, meaningful, and glorious. It is everything you were created to be and do—only perfected. Live in light of that today. Key Scriptures: Revelation 22:3-5, Exodus 33:20, Genesis 1:28, Matthew 25:21, Revelation 5:10, 2 Timothy 2:12, 1 Corinthians 15:58, Genesis 2:15, Genesis 3:17-19, Exodus 31:3-5, Isaiah 65:21-22, Colossians 3:23-24

Agade: The AI-Powered Wearable Robots That Protect Workers, Not Replace Them AI Meets Human CraftsmanshipThere's something poetic about a technology born to help people with muscular dystrophy finding its second life on factory floors and logistics warehouses. That's the story of Agade, an Italian deeptech startup that began as a research project at Politecnico di Milano and evolved into something far more ambitious: a mission to preserve human craftsmanship in an age of automation.I sat down with Lorenzo Aquilante, CEO and co-founder of Agade, to talk about their journey from healthcare innovation to industrial exoskeletons—and what it was like showcasing their latest product at CES 2026.The origin story matters here. Back in 2017, researchers at Politecnico di Milano started developing exoskeletons for people affected by muscular dystrophy. They created something different—a semi-active model powered by AI that recognizes when a user is lifting and responds accordingly. It wasn't just about motors and sensors. It was about intelligence.Then companies came knocking. Manufacturing firms, logistics operations, industries where human workers still matter because their skills, experience, and judgment can't be replaced by machines. They saw potential. Why not use this technology to protect the people doing the heavy lifting—literally?Agade was founded in 2020 with a clear mission: preserve craftsmanship against the physical toll of material handling. Not replace humans. Protect them.The company now has two products. The first, launched in 2024, focuses on shoulder assistance. The second—the one they brought to CES 2026—targets the lower back, which makes sense when you consider that back pain is practically an occupational hazard for anyone moving materials all day.What makes Agade's approach different is that semi-active AI system. The exoskeleton knows when you're lifting. It responds. It's not just a passive brace or a fully motorized suit that takes over. It's somewhere in between—smart enough to help, light enough to wear all day.Lorenzo emphasized something that resonated with me: the importance of feedback. From day one, Agade has been obsessed with real-world testing. Not lab conditions. Actual workers doing actual jobs. Because the buyer isn't the user—companies purchase these for their employees—and that creates a unique dynamic. You need both sides to believe in the technology.The CES experience brought that home. There's always the initial wow factor when someone sees a wearable robot with motors and sensors. But the real work happens after the demo, when users tell you what needs to improve. That's where the collaboration lives.And here's what struck me most about this conversation: Agade isn't trying to remove humans from the equation. They're trying to keep humans in it longer, healthier, and more capable.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Deepika Chopra to talk about what real optimism actually means — and why it's so different from toxic positivity. We unpack the science behind resilience, curiosity, and staying open when life is hard, and we get practical about how to grow your “optimism muscle” in everyday moments. We talk about language shifts (like the power of “never” and “always”), parenting through low-capacity seasons, rituals that ground families, and why affirmations and manifestation don't always work the way we think they do.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

Resources DoorGrow and Scale Mastermind DoorGrow Academy DoorGrow on YouTube DoorGrowClub DoorGrowLive Transcript Jason Hull (00:02) Hello everybody, I'm Jason Hall. This is Sarah Hall, the founder and CEO and the COO of DoorGrow, the world's leading and most comprehensive coaching and consulting firm for long-term residential property management entrepreneurs. For over a decade and a half, we have brought innovative strategies and optimization to the property management industry. At DoorGrow, we have spoken to thousands of property management business owners, coached, consulted, and cleaned up hundreds of businesses, helping them add doors, improve pricing, increase profits, simplify operations, and we run the leading property management mastermind in the industry with more video testimonials and reviews than any other coach or consultant in the industry. So let's get into the show. All right. So we got some news this past what week from my daughter. I need to get rid of that. OK. We got some news this past week from my daughter, Maddie, that she is leaving. DoorGrow, she got another job offer. And so my oldest daughter has been working for DoorGrow for five years now. Which is wild. And so I remember she called me up from college and she couldn't find a job there. And she later told me the last thing she wanted was to ask me for a job or to work for me at the time. I guess she was just humbled enough that she had to come to me and ask for a job because she's like nobody was hiring around her campus because it was just a college town. Everybody had taken all the jobs and so she asked if she could do some work for me and ⁓ she started doing some graphic design stuff and she was working on her marketing degree and ⁓ she ended up working for us and she's handled all sorts of things. My social media, DoorGrowth social media. graphic design stuff, video editing, podcast editing, ⁓ lots of stuff. Client support. And then we moved her into client success. And so then she was managing client success on our team, helping to retain clients and make sure they're supported. that's, yeah, so she's had quite the journey of growth here at DoorGrow. And she was really nervous to tell us that she was leaving. She was like very concerned about this. And I told her, it's okay, I just want you to be happy. So excited to see her move on to the next thing that she's gonna do. This is like her first job outside of DoorGrow, as far as I know. And so I'm excited for her. ⁓ So we were just thinking like, what are some lessons that we are getting from this experience? And ⁓ yeah, so we thought we'd talk about a few of those things. The first thing is that moment where you go, I'm losing a team member. And you're kind of torn and you're stuck in between, I'm so happy for them and I want this great opportunity for them and I want what's best for them. And also, man, I didn't want to lose them. That happens a lot. And I would say to anyone out there that has experienced something like that, we had a client. Jay Shaw that had an amazing person in his business and this person got their dream job opportunity and came to him and said, hey, I don't know what to do with this. And he did exactly what we said. You have to take it. If you want to take it, want you to take it. I want you to do what you think you need to do and what's going to make you happy and what's going to give you opportunity to learn and grow and challenge yourself and experience different things. Right. So I think that's the first thing about being a leader is not only wanting what's best for you and the business, but truly wanting what's best for your team. Yeah. So that's what, you know, she's my daughter. So of course I want whatever's best for her. Um, one of the things that I realized, one of the things that I've always been particularly good at is identifying personalities. One of the things we wanted to recommend to all of you is that it's really important to understand your team members and their personality. Meaning, like getting to really know what their natural inclination is towards, not what they're skilled at, not what they're already trained at, but where would they naturally gravitate towards if they had had other opportunities. so Maddie's personality type, she's extroverted. naturally. I saw this in her growing up. ⁓ She's very much a feeler. She's ⁓ organized and ⁓ so yeah, so was very clear. Ladybug okay good. I think I on your foot So totally live. All right. So, ⁓ yeah. So what was I talking about? You were talking about ladybug finding, finding the right personality. ⁓ right. Okay. So Maddie and Myers-Briggs would be probably an ENFJ, right? ⁓ they're great at community. They're great at connecting with others. And she was going to school and eventually graduated while working at Door Girl. for like graphic design, marketing related stuff, advertising, and she thought, I'm gonna be a graphic designer. Well, I was like, Maddie, are, like, this is, you're naturally great with people. I'm thinking you should move into client success. We had a team member leave. She started taking over client success and doing the social media and graphic design stuff and things like that and podcast editing. And then, We knew we were gonna scale and so we said, and she knew and she said, well, if I have to pick one role or the other, I think I'll pick client success. And so it's awesome to be able to have that as a father, I think it's super important to understand your kids and to not try to push them into being what you are if you're an entrepreneur, not trying to push them into a certain job or career path in school, but to. move them towards what their natural personality would be inclined to succeed and win at that they would love to do. And so that's what I've done as much as I can with all of my kids. so Maddie, I thought, let's move her into client success for sure. And when we put her into that, eventually she chose that. She really recognized that she had a skill at that and she was really, really great at it. And that allowed her to grow and develop new skills besides just graphic design. ⁓ But yeah, she's learned a lot of different skills at DoorGro. She didn't know how to do video editing. She was very much into graphics and then she started editing our videos for us and figuring it out. And so over the years, she's just developed a whole bunch of skills. She's invaluable, super smart, learns lots of stuff. The other, I think, important lesson that is important, you talked about team members, when they leave and how you freak out. Well, we're not really freaking out. And why? Why are we not freaking out? we're sad to see her go. Sad, happy, bittersweet. A little bit of bittersweet feeling there. we're prepared for any and all of our team members at all times just in case anything happens. And that's one of the things is if they do decide to, for whatever reason, exit their role at your company. we have all of our processes already documented for each of our team members. So now that she's stepping out of that role, it's not like we're back here scrambling going, we have to hurry up and figure out how she's doing things and have her write it down and have her train somebody else and get everything out of her head. All of that already exists, which means that when we hire someone to step into that role, it will be infinitely easier for them because everything that Maddie is doing is already documented. What she does and the steps and the systems and the tools that she uses and how she's doing each thing, it's documented in our system. So that in case a team member or sometimes you have several leave at a time, didn't you have a guy that won the lottery and his whole team left? Somebody called me once. So they lost their whole team because they had an office betting pool with the lottery and they won and everybody quit their jobs. So now you have no team. Yeah. So yeah, very suddenly not likely to happen too often, but no, it is nice. as a, as an entrepreneur, as a founder, as a CEO, having processes documented, which we've had for years and years at door grow.   has always given me a sense of security. There's always a sense of anxiety if you don't have those documented that somebody could leave or somebody could be out or get pregnant or be injured or whatever. And move away. Yeah. Take care of a sick family member. Right. Things happen. Life happens. Humans are humans. And so the challenge is if you don't have these things documented and you want them fresh, you want them being used, you want them documented by the people that are actually using them. so Maddie's leaving, so she went and reviewed the processes. Most everything is documented. There were some, she was like, I think we're missing this thing that I've recently started doing, or this little thing needs to be updated a bit. And so she's making some final tweaks to update the processes. But it's every team member's job to keep updated and maintain their processes. So this is why it's very important to have a process system. that is intuitive and easy enough for everybody on the team to use it. And this is why we use what used to be called DoorGrow Flow. We use Flusos and ⁓ F-L-U-S-S-O-S. And it's kind of that in between, it's like flowchart software. It's visual, it's super intuitive and easy. Our team can drag and drop things and build out the process and then they can actually use that process and run it and like work through the workflow. And so it's kind of like a mashup between Lucidchart, Revisio, and Process Street, or Asana, or any sort of checklist system. And checklist systems are not enough. They're just not sufficient enough. They're not clear enough. And ⁓ they're too linear. And there's issues with those. And so we found that this is a superior upgrade from what we used before, which was like Process Street. So having that system that Sarah, who doesn't like tech very much, will go in there and loves using it and updating processes. Maddie can go in and update her own. Giselle and her team can go and tweak or change her process. anybody on the team, and I actually don't even log into it. I don't have to use it, which is the first process system. And we've had several that we've ever used where I don't have to live in it. I don't have to work in it. We've set it up so that if anything needs to be assigned to me, it goes to a role called Jason's assistant. And then the assistant comes to me and says, hey Jason, we need you to do this thing. And so I was able to get myself out from not just having to manage and control and make every process and get really nerdy and build logic and things to hide and show and to the point where I didn't even understand it a year later and then would have to, if it broke, I had to get into it and fix it or weird connections to Zapier and stuff like this. Yeah, it just makes it so much more intuitive.   drag and drop and that's been a game changer. So that's something else we realized through this process. It's like we're not really freaking out or concerned. You know, just a little sad Matty. So, all right. So ⁓ anything else? Well, speaking of things that are game changers, let's hear from our sponsor. ⁓ yeah. So today's sponsor is cover pest.   Cover Pest is the easy and seamless way to add on-demand pest control to your resident benefits package. Residents love the simplicity of submitting a service request and how affordable it is compared to traditional pest control options. Investors love knowing that their property is kept pest free. And property managers love getting their time back and making more revenue per door. Simply put, Cover Pest is the easiest way to handle pest control issues at all your properties.   To learn more and to get special DoorGro pricing, visit coverpest.com slash door grow. All right. So that's our sponsor. right. So other lessons or things that we're realizing. ⁓ One, another reason we don't have a bunch of anxiety is that if we ever need to replace a team member, we have an amazing hiring system. This is one of our proprietary pieces of IP that's been a game changer for ourselves.   and has allowed us to be able to take care of all of our clients and help them replace entire teams if necessary, help them get that key team member they need that's going to be the game changer to get them to the next level. And that's DoorGrow Hiring and our DoorGrow applicant tracking system. And so this has been a significant tool that we've used for lots of clients and for ourselves to build out our team. And so we confidently know, like we've got a system that's going to get us somebody that is a   good culture fit for us that shares our values, which means they won't steal from you. It means there'll be a personality fit for the role because we understand and have engineered the job descriptions for ourselves and for all of our clients so that it attracts or creates interest in the person that is the right personality fit for that particular role. And then skill fit. We have assessments and tools to figure out are they going to be able to   develop the skill or do they already have the skill so that we can make sure that we're getting the ultimate hire because one bad hire is easily a 10 grand minimum mistake and probably three months of your time wasted. So being shot in the foot trying to train them and then they leave or you have to fire them, right? So we're really good at BDMs, which is a big need of our clients. We're really good at operators, which is a big need for our clients.   so they can get out of the day-to-day operational control of the business and make sure the business is moving forward and build out what we call our super system, people planning a process. So these are some key things that make it not so big of a deal if we lose a team member. We're confident we can get them replaced pretty quickly. We can get them up to speed quickly because of our process and we're going to make a good hire. So, and we're able to get that system built out into our clients' businesses as well, which is   A game changer, if you listen to us and you start adding a whole bunch of doors, then that can cause a lot of constraints and issues in your business to come to the forefront. And if you have our super system hiring the process, planning all built in, planning is DoorGrow OS. If you have all these things built in, then your business becomes infinitely scalable and you're not going to get stuck. You can just continually keep growing and adding doors. So cool. ⁓   Any other lessons or things about Maddie? We could, I would say so many good things about Maddie. So I think one of the things too that it just kind of shows when you put the right person in the right role, the results that you get because clients always tell us, Maddie is so great. Maddie is so great. Wow, Maddie is so great at what she does. Wow, I just love Maddie. Yeah. So.   that tells us, we already know, but it tells us, hey, this was such a good fit for her. She truly enjoys this. She is great at helping people and she's thriving in a role like that. And I know that she will do great at anything that she decides to do. And I think that's one of the things that was so great is kind of watching that growth and development because when she came on,   in the very beginning, was part-time. She was going to school, so she was part-time, and she was dabbling in just little tiny pieces. And then she would do a little bit more, and the hours would increase, and she would take on a few more things, and hours would increase, and then she would take on a few more things. And her role truly developed, and that allowed her growth and development as well, which a lot of times, that's something that great team members are really looking for.   Yeah, in the beginning she was like, how do I get out of this job probably? then she was I think she told you, I only want to work with you for what, a year or something? Yeah, yeah. And then I think she kind of realized, hey, there's good culture, there's good environment here. And then eventually she was like, hey, I'm graduating school, I think I really want to work with you guys full time.   And so that was really nice. yeah. And I'm sure it's not easy working for your dad sometimes. don't know. So, ⁓ but yeah, it's been awesome having her. And it's been, I'm really going to miss being able to just tell everybody all the time. Cause I get to tell every potential client I talk to during the sales process, if I'm involved, I get to like brag on my daughter, my oldest daughter works for me and she's our head of client success. And I get to just be so proud of her. So.   Now I just get to talk and brag about my wife, ⁓ which I always do that as well. So you can't leave too. I gotta be able to brag about somebody. So, all right. I'll stay just so you Just because of that? Okay, all right, good. yeah. But Maddie's amazing, so whoever gets her, who knows, maybe she'll be back. I don't know, Maddie. I don't know, maybe. Maybe she'll be like, hey, know, other companies are just not as amazing as DoorGro. And I didn't realize how terrible most are out there.   and then maybe she'll be back, who knows? You know what will be very interesting is seeing a team member that we have get transferred into a different business just to see how things run because a lot of times that's something that people value a lot more than they even realize that they value is, hey, I really enjoy the support that I get here.   I really enjoy the culture that we have here and the type of environment that we have here. And I really enjoy how structured things are. even if it's your dream job, if the company just doesn't have things together and you step into a role and all of a sudden you go, wow, everything is on fire here. This is awful. It's sometimes very eye-opening to be able to hop into even something that you think   might be perfect. And I think that's one of the things that allows us to keep great people for a long time is really the structure that we provide and the way that we run our company. I would say that that is something that will be interesting to see. I'd like to do a little post interview with her and see how... She'll be like, it's been the best thing ever to not work   Because you know what ours is, right? So how is their onboarding process? How is their training process? How is their assimilation process? What is all of that like? Because when you, and vice versa, when you come from a place that had nothing together and all of a sudden you find a place and you go, wow, thank God they have all of this ready to go. It's already.   built, just feels very solid, feels very safe, it feels very put together and it's an environment in which team members are truly set up for success and to thrive in a role. that's something that I really believe processes as part of that. It's not fun, it's not sexy, I know that, but it's really something that is so important to have dialed in.   so that new team members coming in really feel like, I wasn't just thrown into the mix and told to figure it out. All right. Well, if Maddie sees this, Maddie, I love you, proud of you, and I'm going to miss being able to brag about you, but I'll still brag about you, but brag that you are working at DoorGro and are ahead of client success. So we've got some really big things coming up at DoorGro. We're really excited about the future. We've got a lot of   irons in the fire right now, some big things we're working on that I think are going to be a game changer for the industry. And we're really optimistic, really excited. And so stay tuned to see what we're up to. Anything else you want to add before we wrap up? All right.

Throughout the session, AI is framed as a thinking partner and perspective-expander, not a decision maker. Human judgment, values, and responsibility remain central.AI is changing fast. Humans aren't.In this episode, we explore how leaders can integrate AI thoughtfully by treating it as part of a personal board of directors rather than another tool to chase. We look at life stages, inner circles of support, and how AI can serve as a strategic partner without replacing human judgment.This conversation is for leaders who want to stay grounded, intentional, and human while navigating rapid change.Learn more about Humanergy's work: https://www.humanergy.com Join the Humanergy community on LinkedIn.

In her new book How My Dog Saved My Life, former CBC producer Cate Cochran tells 30 Canadian stories of dogs who have changed everything for their humans, saving their lives literally and figuratively. We'll meet some of these remarkable canines, including a black lab and golden retriever mix named Foreman who's trained to provide medical assistance for his owner, Sinead Zalitach. Sinead was born with an extremely rare congenital condition called Parkes Weber syndrome and Foreman is so attuned to her that he knows she's in trouble before she does.

Episode 345 More than 8,500 years ago, ancient people crossed the ocean to the remote island of Malta for the first time. Long before compasses or sails were invented, these prehistoric people navigated the seas on logs, using the stars to travel vast distances. Recent findings show we've long underestimated the voyaging capabilities of stone-age hunter-gatherers. We discuss the many examples of ancient travel - and what this all tells us about the ancient mind. Could just one hour of brain training a day be enough to stave off dementia? For the first time, an intervention against dementia has been tested in a randomised control trial. Lasting an impressive 20 years, participants in the trial played a brain training game for just a few hours a week - and the results were remarkable. The legendary space scientist Maggie Aderin joins the show to discuss her new book, Starchild: My Life Under the Night Sky. The Sky at Night presenter discusses her motivation for writing a memoir, how her love of astronomy came about, what it was like as the only Black woman in her university class, her time working on the James Webb telescope - and more. Hosted by Rowan Hooper and Penny Sarchet, with guests Maggie Aderin, Michael Marshall and Alexandra Thompson.To read more about these stories, visit https://www.newscientist.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

It takes a lot of guts to engage with a stranger on the street, ask probing questions about their struggles, and come away with a portrait and a story as a record of the human connection that was made. Now, imagine repeating this process countless times over 15 years under the moniker Humans of New York (HONY) and watching what started as a passion project take the world by storm. In today's show, we're privileged to chat with this 21st century archivist of everyday citizens and their lived experiences. Listen in as HONY's creator, Brandon Stanton, shares how he transformed street photography into a practice of deep human connection—moving beyond candid pictures to create a unique space where strangers can reveal their most authentic selves.   Some key discussion points include: the art of active listening, the power of vulnerability, and how finding someone's struggle unlocks their genius. Brandon also reflects on building a creative practice through daily discipline and navigating the tension between social media algorithms and meaningful art. Stay to the end for a peek behind the scenes of Brandon's recent blockbuster installation that brought ordinary New Yorkers' stories into the hallowed space of Grand Central Terminal.  At its core, this is a life lesson in the evolution of authentic storytelling in an increasingly digital world, creating scarcity in an age of abundance—not through better images or words, but through genuine human interaction that can't be replicated in the digital realm. Guest: Brandon Stanton Episode Timeline: 2:38: The first portrait Brandon made of two random strangers he encountered in a Chicago subway car.  7:48: Absorbing rejection when asking people for a picture so to get as broad a representation of the general public as possible. 15:20: The art of stopping someone on the street to capture a photograph and a story, and the evolution of Brandon's creative process. 22:45: Capturing moments of authenticity, the profundity of a person's struggles, the granularity of lived experience, plus the evolution of finding people to approach. 31:57: The mindset and habits Brandon established early on that enables him to create his art. 36:40: Brandon's evolution in capturing people's stories—from reconstructing stories from memory to notetaking in real time to crafting a story from audio recordings. 40:22: Episode Break 41:46: Starting Humans of New York as an antidote to being fired from his full-time job 43:05: The therapeutic aspect of talking to people, and Brandon's process of listening with his entire body to become a vessel for other peoples' stories. 50:22: The role of philanthropy, doing good for others on a grand scale, and Brandon's determination to do the best work possible. 54:15: Brandon talks about the impact of social media and its effects on human behavior. 1:06:31: The Dear New York installation at Grand Central Terminal, and Brandon's belief that the only scarcity in art is through real life. 1:14:37: Focusing on Humans of New York as a solo endeavor vs working with more than 100 collaborators to pull off Dear New York at Grand Central Terminal. 1:20:00: Brandon talks about how he keeps grounded, plus shares his favorite question—How do you keep score with yourself? Guest Bio:  Brandon Stanton is the writer and photographer behind Humans of New York, a storytelling platform with over 30-million followers. He's also the creator of Dear New York, an immersive art installation in NYC's Grand Central Station during November 2025 and a companion book.  Over the past 15 years, Brandon has photographed and interviewed over ten thousand people in forty different countries around the world. During this time, he's helped raise over $20 million dollars in support of various causes and individuals who have been featured in his work.  Brandon is also the author of four #1 New York Times bestselling books, which have sold millions of copies around the world: Humans of New York in 2013, Humans of New York: Stories in 2015, Humans in 2020, Tanqueray in 2022, and, most recently, Dear New York, in 2025. In addition to the books, Brandon has given over 100 keynote speeches on the power of connection and has facilitated executive-level workshops for some of the world's most respected companies, aimed at increasing team cohesion. He currently lives in New York City with his wife and three children.  Stay Connected: Brandon Stanton Website: https://brandonstanton.com/  Humans of New York Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/humansofny/  Humans of New York Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/humansofnewyork/  Humans of New York Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humans_of_New_York  Dear New York Website: https://dearnewyork.com/  Credits: Host: Derek Fahsbender Senior Creative Producer: Jill Waterman Senior Technical Producer: Mike Weinstein Executive Producer: Richard Stevens  

Gentlemen… what if the bar isn't just a place to “blow off steam”… but a system designed to keep you from leveling up? In this episode, we break down a controversial idea: bars aren't evil, but they are efficient. Efficient at sedating ambition. Efficient at normalizing mediocrity. Efficient at keeping men distracted from building legacies in business, family, health, and leadership. We unpack: • How bar culture subtly suppresses masculine drive• Why alcohol reduces ambition while increasing tolerance for mediocrity• The economic machine behind a $1.5 trillion global alcohol industry• How bars keep men predictable, distracted, and emotionally underdeveloped• Why younger men are quietly drinking less and what that means for leadership• The rise of sober social spaces and cultural shifts happening right now This isn't a conspiracy rant. It's a performance conversation. You can't lead your company, your marriage, or your mission if your clarity is being fogged every weekend. Bars aren't just “fun.” They shape behavior. They shape habits. They shape culture. And the real rebellion in 2026?Leaving early. Staying sharp. Building something meaningful. If you care about masculinity, leadership, high performance, sobriety, and building a life that actually matters, this episode will challenge you. Looking for 1 on 1 Coaching?

In late January a new social media site took a certain corner of the internet by storm. Moltbook was conceived as a space where AI assistants could let off steam, chat and compare notes on their bosses, but it quickly became the focus of breathless claims that the singularity had arrived as the bots started badmouthing their humans and plotting an uprising. So what's the truth about Moltbook? Madeleine Finlay hears from Aisha Down about what it tells us about AI, and about us.. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/sciencepod

Humans do some pretty weird things. Some of us will sit in searingly hot rooms or jump into icy ponds. Others risk their lives trying to climb to new heights or dive to new depths. And every once in a while, two otherwise normal-seeming humans will lean in close to each other, open mouths, lock lips, and swap a hearty helping of microbes. You may even know people who've done this. But why? Are we the only animals who kiss? What could be the deeper origins of this truly bizarre behavior?  My guest today is Dr. Matilda Brindle. Matilda is an Evolutionary Biologist at the University of Oxford. She's interested in understanding the origins of behaviors and traits across the animal kingdom. But it's not just any traits she's interested in—she tends to favor those that are a bit risque. Here, Matilda and I talk about the puzzle at the heart of human kissing behavior. We discuss the possible adaptive functions of kissing—and of romantic kissing in particular. We walk through her recent paper in which—drawing on observations across primates species—she and her colleagues reconstructed the phylogeny of kissing behavior. They found that kissing is present in almost all the Great Apes—and also in several species of monkeys—and that it may go back around 20 million years. We sketch different proposals for how kissing may have evolved, such as the idea that it originally grew out of "premastication"—the practice of chewing up food for infants and transferring that food by mouth. And, of course, we consider the cultural side of kissing—and how to make sense of the fact that, despite these ancient roots in the primate lineage, romantic kissing is by no means universal to all human groups.   Hope you enjoy this one, friends—offered in spirit of Valentine's Day, of course. Kissing may seem like a light-hearted or frivolous topic, but—as I hope you'll appreciate—it opens up some big, thorny, compelling questions. And, in fact, it's finally attracting serious attention from scholars of all kinds interested in the different dimensions of social behavior.  Without further ado, here's my interview with Dr. Matilda Brindle.   Notes 3:00 – Dr. Brindle's paper, 'A comparative approach to the phylogeny of kissing,' coauthored with Dr. Catherine Talbot and Dr. Stuart West. 10:00 – An academic review of "postcopulatory sexual selection." 15:45 – The study examining the convergence of oral microbiota in kissing couples. The same study quantified the amount of microbial transfer during kissing. 18:00 – For more on the "grass-in-ear" phenomenon among chimpanzees and other such arbitrary-seeming animal behaviors, see our earlier episode about animal cultures. For the more recent "grass-in-bum" phenomenon, see here. 21:30 – For Dr. Brindle's work on the adaptive functions of masturbation in primates, see here. 32:00 – For popular coverage of Dr. Brindle's work, highlighting the likelihood that humans and Neanderthals kissed, see here. 39:00 – The book, Biological Exuberance, by Bruce Bagemihl. 43:00 – For the study on the presence of romantic kissing across cultures, see here. 47:00 – For indirect (linguistic) evidence for the prevalence of "smell-kissing" across Southeast Asia, see here. For more on this style of greeting, see Kensy's post here. 50:00 – For the proposal that kissing is rooted in "oral grooming," see here.  58:00 – For the larger special issue on the origins of kissing, of which Dr. Brindle's paper is part, see here.   1:00:30 – For Dr. Brindle's work on "bacula" (aka "penis bones"), see here.   Recommendations The Handshake, by Ella Al-Shamahi Eve, by Cat Bohannon Primate Sexuality, by Alan Dixson   Many Minds is a project of the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute, which is made possible by a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation to Indiana University.

Security doesn't fail because you missed a tool, it fails because “secure today” tricks you into relaxing tomorrow. This episode exposes why the real fight isn't compliance… it's whether your defenses hold up once attackers hit you with machine-speed pressure. Ron sits down with Sonali Shah, CEO of Cobalt, to talk about how human-led, AI-powered penetration testing is evolving into full-spectrum offensive security. Sonali shares how Cobalt can start a test in 24 hours, push findings directly into Slack/Teams and Jira, and use learnings from 5,000+ pentests a year to continuously sharpen what gets caught. The big takeaway: automation finds the easy stuff as humans find the business-logic traps and attack chains that actually break companies.

Are you searching for purpose and meaning? Would you like to receive answers to questions directly from Source energy? Lisa continues the conversation today with author and soul reader Sondra Sneed. Sondra talks how she is able to communicate directly with God / Source for answers. In this part of the interview, she channels messages from God who is talking about consciousness and why we are here. She describes it as being similar to the movie "The Matrix." She talks about distractions and the threat of Artificial Intelligence. Social Media is programmed to act as a distraction and can cause reprogramming, so we get away from our natural truths as human beings. Source energy is asking us to stop scrolling several times a week, so we do not become addicted. We can be so much more creative if we take time to step away. Source also talks about Universal Consciousness and how it is unlimited. If we tap into Source, humans can gain limitless creativity and potential. This can lead us to a new period of Enlightenment. Humans will recreate a new era of their own invention. Sondra is the author of "What to Do When You're Dead," and creator of "The Accelerated Self" program. She discusses the lessons and levels of her programs and how to also have direct communication with Source. Info: sondrasneed.com. Lisa Garr and Sondra Sneed will be at the upcoming Conscious Life Expo, held at the Hilton LAX in Los Angeles over the weekend of FEB 20-23, 2026. Lisa and Sondra's Workshop "Messages from Source" will be on Sunday, FEB 22 at 6 pm Pacific. This inspiring session will offer guidance, predictions, and direct communication from Divine Source to support you during these rapidly shifting times.

At ITEXPO / MSP EXPO in Fort Lauderdale, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Corey Moullas, Founder & CTO of EMAK Telecom, about a bold thesis: in the age of generative AI, voice will not be a side channel—it will be central to how businesses communicate and brand. EMAK Telecom, a VoIP and UCaaS provider founded a decade ago, built its own platform from the ground up with a focus on improving internal workflows and elevating the caller experience. Moullas emphasized that for EMAK, voice has always been about more than dial tone. “What can we do to make the caller experience amazing?” he said, describing a decade-long commitment to refining how customers interact with businesses through voice channels. Now, with the rise of generative AI and voice-to-voice agents, EMAK is integrating advanced AI capabilities directly into its telecom stack. While much of the industry conversation around AI centers on chat interfaces and automation dashboards, Moullas argues that the real transformation will occur in human conversation. “Voice is a very comfortable channel for a lot of people,” he noted. “Humans have a voice. We use it to communicate. It's not going away.” AI-powered voice agents, when implemented responsibly, can dramatically accelerate problem resolution, enrich brand presence, and create more natural customer interactions. Importantly, Moullas acknowledges the industry's legacy frustrations with earlier voice recognition systems. The difference today, he says, is the maturity of AI models capable of delivering empathetic, context-aware responses. “With the new technologies rolling out today, it's actually extraordinary,” he explained. At the same time, he stressed the responsibility that comes with such power. “We have to be very responsible about how we use these tools… they can be used for good or used for evil.” EMAK's internal philosophy—“do the right thing”—guides product decisions and long-term vision. As AI becomes embedded in enterprise communications, EMAK's strategy positions voice not as an afterthought but as the primary interface between humans and technology. In Moullas' view, when AI enables voice interactions that feel seamless and human, businesses will discover new ways to differentiate, connect, and deliver value. Visit https://emak.tech/

Uh-oh, the communal Schauer is getting intimate this week, intellectually intimate that is. We're going over the new sensation sweeping the nation ~intellectual intimacy~ so get ready for a smattering of everything - from psychology to neuroscience to what's happening in my relationship, no pumice stone will go unturned. Time to sit back and relax (to the best of your ability) because we're starting with the gnarliest knots this nation has failed to address, welcome to Schauer Thoughts. Additionally: I do really apologize for this week's sort of choppy presentation, there's a Vyvanse shortage and my brain was truly struggling to organize thoughts. I hope everything made some semblance of sense.

Sydney McDowell was preparing for the last steps in her fertility journey. But when she went to Nashville's Center for Reproductive Health for a final check-up, she learned the clinic was abruptly closing, and what would happen to her frozen embryos was unclear. Hundreds of families who'd paid thousands of dollars were left in the lurch, unable to recover their money or their embryos. As the would-be mothers compared notes, they said they missed many red flags that something wasn't right at this fertility clinic.From School of Humans and iHeartPodcasts comes “What Happened in Nashville.” Host Melissa Jeltsen brings the heartwrenching stories of those whose dreams of conceiving were dashed. She also explores the background of the clinic's owner-operator, attempts to hold him accountable, and the lingering deficiencies in regulating this kind of medicine.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "WHAT HAPPENED IN NASHVILLE" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 11 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.In Crime of the Week: rolling in the dough.
