Podcasts about humans

In today's episode I sit down with professor Arthur Brooks to explore what actually makes a life feel meaningful in a culture obsessed with achievement, optimization, and measurable success. We talk about why happiness is more than a feeling, the difference between pain and suffering, how meaning is built through coherence, purpose, and significance, and why so many high achievers still feel empty. We discuss practical ways to resist the pressure to turn ourselves and our kids into “human doings,” and instead to just love ourselves are our children for who they are, not just for what they accomplish.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1898DM Simon Sinek cuts through the noise about why we struggle with change. We're dopamine-driven animals built for short-term survival, not imagining futures decades away. That retirement account? Your brain would rather have the instant gratification now. But crisis flips the script. When threats become tangible, when you can name them and see them, abstraction turns into urgency. Simon watched the Twin Towers burn from his office window exactly one mile away. He walked through the exodus with his sister. Four strangers stopped to help a man covered in ash desperately trying to call someone. No words needed. Just: "Give us the number." The call got through. "I'm okay. I'm okay." The man handed back the phone and walked away. Everyone was crying. Simon explains why old people give the best advice. They've accepted their own mortality. They don't care what you think anymore. That freedom unlocks truth a 20-year-old still worried about impressions can't access. The goal of storytelling? Give people the transformation of near-death experiences without requiring the trauma.

How you think about getting older might be more powerful than you realize. Scientists have uncovered an unexpected connection between people's beliefs about aging and what happens to them as the years go by. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12150226/ We're often warned not to reveal too much about ourselves. Oversharing can make people uncomfortable, right? Maybe. But Harvard Business School professor Leslie John argues the bigger problem may actually be the opposite — sharing too little. In her book Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing (https://amzn.to/3ME0EVt), she explains how thoughtfully sharing personal thoughts, experiences, and vulnerabilities can strengthen relationships, build trust, and even improve professional success. Humans have a strange relationship with technology. Some innovations instantly become essential while others quietly disappear. New technology can spark excitement, fear, resistance, and creativity all at once. Vanessa Chang, Director of Programs at Leonardo, the International Society for the Arts, Sciences, and Technology and author of The Body Digital: A Brief History of Humans and Machines from Cuckoo Clocks to ChatGPT (https://amzn.to/4cqHjBE), explores how people historically absorb new technologies — and how those tools reshape the way we interact with each other and the world. When you buy new clothes, it feels natural to wear them right away. After all, they're brand new. But “new” doesn't necessarily mean clean. In fact, clothing can go through quite a journey before it reaches your closet — one that may make you think twice before wearing it straight off the rack. https://www.southernliving.com/should-you-wash-new-clothes-before-wearing-11885557 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS QUINCE: Don't keep settling for clothes that don't last!

Recorded 12/16/25Vincent's Slava Rubin and Sacra's Jan-Erik Asplund discussed Ramp, OpenEvidence, Apptronik, Whop, and Shield AI, five of the hottest pre-IPO companies in the asset class - and how investors can get access to them.Presented by the Fundrise Innovation Fund.https://fundrise.com/Vincent

Hour 1: Forget $1 Million, $1 Billion is the new benchmark. So, let's play a little game of “Who's Richer?” Ugh, this is reminding Vinnie that it's tax season. How do we keep our kids from becoming smart phone zombies? A new study shows kids pick up their phone 64 times during the school day. Will the pendulum swing back? Is painting your nails a right of passage as a preteen? A FedEx driver is being charged for stealing $62,000 in packages. And, great news everyone in Fremont! Hour 2: Here's what we think of ‘Survivor' so far this season. ‘Zootopia 2' is now streaming on Disney+. The America's Next Top Model documentary has it's 2nd part out now on Netflix. Lady Gaga on MTV's Boiling Points?! More famous actors than you'd think come from reality TV. The highest grossing animated movies of all time. Did ‘Cars' make the list?? Are you a Hotwife? Be careful, it's not what you think. Let's discuss. 24K gold's got nothing on cows… apparently. (49:23) Hour 3: Let's Bridge The Gap and bring the generations closer together. SF Bay area legendary tech reporter is IN THE STUDIO to take on Teeyona from sales. Can Teeyona pull off the coveted 3-peat?! Then, Scott Budman is back to update Sarah and Vinnie on the social media addiction crisis. Scott also dives into tipping culture and how he thinks it's a side effect of all of our transactions being software based. Are physical driver's licenses going away? Are GLP-1s really a miracle drug? The Bay Area should be worried about pricing out the next generation. (1:32:20) Hour 4: Bruno Mars tops the Billboard Hot 100 with his “I Just Might” single. Sarah and Vinnie are reminiscing on how the live music experience has evolved over the decades - for better and for worse. It's National No Smoking Day - is this your sign to finally quit? Humans shrink throughout the day. Plus, a fast fact about penguins, and How Old Is That Guy! (2:14:45)

For dogs mindfulness isn't really a thing. Mostly because it's just how they are. It's the very foundation of their existence. Humans, however? Not so much. In another episode inspired by the Venerable Monks and the Walk for Peace, a discussion of mindfulness - specifically as it relates to the happy horsesh*t concept of multi-tasking.Which, by the way, turns out isn't really a thing.Whether it's in my own life, in the way I interact with others or how I engage with my dogs, being present isn't just an important thing. It's the only thing.In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it's time for radically authentic conversation. Conscious communication is simple, but often isn't easy. That's why Cathy Brooks created Talk, Unleashed – a weekly podcast of radically honest conversation about — everything. Whether her own musings or in conversation with industry leaders, each episode invites curiosity. Curiosity not about what people do, but why they do it. Who they are and what makes them tick. It's about digging underneath to reveal the thing that is most true - that we are more alike than we are not. A mix of solo episodes where Cathy shares her insights and experience or Cathy engaged in conversation with fascinating humans doing amazing things. No matter the format - it's unvarnished, radically honest and entirely unleashed. This podcast compliments Unleashed Leadership, the coaching business through which Cathy works with symphony orchestras, corporate clients, and individuals to help them unleash and untether their leadership and connect with others in a way that truly engages.#mindfulcanine #mindfulness #walkforpeace #dogbehavior #dogtraining #consciouscommunication #leadership #Conversation #connection #TalkUnleashed #UnleashedConversation #UnleashedLeadership #FixYourEndofTheLeash

This week on Better Buildings for Humans, host Joe Menchefski steps into the world of hidden passageways, vault doors, and high-security safe rooms with Steve Humble, founder of Creative Home Engineering. What begins as a childhood fascination with spy movies evolves into a fascinating deep dive into camouflage, forced-entry protection, and the engineering behind secret doors that truly disappear.Steve shares how his background in mechanical engineering, robotics, and home automation led him to build thousands of custom security solutions for everyone from CEOs to royal clients. The conversation explores panic rooms, bullet-resistant materials, EMP protection, and the surprising vulnerabilities of traditional safes. But beyond the intrigue, this episode reveals a powerful design insight: great security isn't just about strength—it's about thoughtful integration, precision, and architectural harmony that protects what matters most.More About Steve HumbleSteve Humble grew up in cities around the world as the son of a pilot in the US air force. In 2003 he graduated with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Brigham Young University. Steve started his engineering career in aerospace at Honeywell's military turbine engines division and later at the Boeing aircraft company. He went on to design both home automation systems and robotic surgical lasers before starting his own security engineering firm at the age of only 26. He founded Creative Home Engineering in 2003 and has a 10,600 square foot facility based in Ariz. The company specializes in the design and fabrication of motorized hidden passageways and covert high-security vault doors. With more than 20 years of experience and 5,000 unique secret passageways under his belt, Steve's top-secret client list is a veritable who's-who of high-profile business executives, heads-of-state, celebrities, pro-athletes, and ordinary security-minded home owners all around the globe. He also started the Hidden Door Store, a more affordable option for the person that likes to DIY.  To learn more, hiddenpassageway.com or hiddendoorstore.com.Contact:https://www.facebook.com/CreativeHomeEngineeringhttps://www.instagram.com/hidden_passageway/ Where 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

Every has unveiled a new product, built by CEO Dan Shipper. It's called Proof, a free, open-source, live collaborative document editor built for humans and AI agents to work in together. Proof started as a Mac app designed to show the provenance of AI-written text—purple for AI, green for human. But when Shipper rebuilt it as a web app with real-time collaboration, something clicked. Suddenly, everyone at Every was using it for everything from planning docs, to creative writing and even daily to-do lists. The team realized they needed a lightweight space where their OpenClaw agents and humans could co-author documents and leave comments. In this special episode, Shipper is joined by Every chief operating officer Brandon Gell, Cora general manager Kieran Klaassen, and head of growth Austin Tedesco to demo Proof live and share how it's changed the way they work. Brandon walks through a loop where his Codex agent writes a plan, Dan's personal Claw R2-C2 reviews it, and the humans just steer. Austin explains how he uses Proof to write a weekly food newsletter, texting ideas to his Claw on runs and watching an outline take shape. And Kieran makes the case that Proof's power is its lightness—just a link you can hand to any agent or colleague.The conversation covers what "agent native" means in practice, why AX (agent experience) matters as much as UX (user experience), what happens when 10 agents edit one document at the same time, and why some writing is now better read by an AI than a human.If you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share!Want even more?Sign up for Every to unlock our ultimate guide to prompting ChatGPT here: https://every.ck.page/ultimate-guide-to-prompting-chatgpt.

What if understanding how AI thinks could reveal uncomfortable truths about how your own brain works, and give you powerful tools to make smarter decisions, resist manipulation, and upgrade your cognition at the root level? -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Tom Griffiths, the Henry R. Luce Professor of Information Technology, Consciousness, and Culture in the Departments of Psychology and Computer Science at Princeton University. Griffiths directs Princeton's Computational Cognitive Science Lab, a research group focused on understanding the mathematical foundations of human cognition, and the Princeton Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence. He is the coauthor of Algorithms to Live By and the author of the new book The Laws of Thought, and his award-winning research has appeared in Science, Nature, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Together, Dave and Tom go deep on the cognitive science behind human performance, brain optimization, and the surprising overlap between biohacking and artificial intelligence. They explore why your body filters reality before your conscious brain ever sees it, how your mitochondria function as a distributed cognitive network, and what that means for longevity, decision-making, and neuroplasticity. You'll Learn: Why AI models reveal that humans may be more "stochastic parrots" than we'd like to admit How your mitochondria pre-process sensory reality before your auditory cortex even fires Why emotions like anger, love, and remorse are computational tools evolution built into your reward function How low energy and blood sugar directly degrade your decision-making at a hardware level What "resource rationality" means and how to use it to make better decisions under constraint Why AI systems have measurable psychological personalities, and which ones are least likely to mess with your head How neuroplasticity can eliminate the inner critic and reshape your mental operating system Why two-process cognition (fast and slow thinking) is a feature, not a bug, of human intelligence Thank you to our sponsors! -BEYOND Biohacking Conference 2026 | Register with code DAVE300 for $300 off https://beyondconference.com-Essentia | Go to https://myessentia.com/dave and use code DAVE for $100 off The Dave Asprey Upgrade.-Quantum Upgrade | Try it free for 15 days — no credit card required — at QuantumUpgrade.io/DAVE.

Imagine teaching a robot 1000 tasks in just 24 hours. Imagine teaching robots just like you teach humans.In fact, what if teaching a robot were as easy as showing it once?Humans can learn new skills almost instantly by watching, trying, or receiving a quick explanation. Robots, historically, haven't been so lucky. Training them often requires huge datasets with real or virtual data, massive engineering effort, and weeks or months of experimentation.But that may be changing.In this episode of TechFirst, host John Koetsier talks with Edward Johns, Director of the Robot Learning Lab at Imperial College London, about a breakthrough in efficient imitation learning that allowed a robot to learn 1,000 different tasks in just 24 hours.Instead of collecting huge datasets, Johns' team combines simulation training, clever algorithm design, and single demonstrations to dramatically speed up how robots learn.We discuss:• How robots can learn from just one demonstration• Why breaking tasks into “reach” and “interact” phases makes learning faster• The role of simulation data in robotics AI• Why robotics doesn't have the same data advantage as large language models• The future of prompt-like robot training• Whether humanoid robots will actually learn like humansAs robotics hardware rapidly improves and costs fall, breakthroughs like this could be the key to making robots truly useful in homes, factories, and everyday life.If robots are going to become real collaborators with humans, they'll need to learn quickly ... just like we do.⸻GuestEdward JohnsDirector, Robot Learning LabImperial College Londonhttps://www.imperial.ac.uk⸻Subscribe for more conversations on AI, robotics, and the future of technology:https://techfirst.substack.com00:00 Can robots learn as fast as humans?00:51 Teaching a robot 1,000 tasks in 24 hours01:08 The two-phase learning approach02:14 Old-school robotics vs. machine learning03:29 The robotics data bottleneck04:47 The challenge of dynamic environments06:04 The coming wave of robot data06:59 Why robots must be teachable by users08:08 Why LLM-style scaling is harder in robotics09:42 Prompting robots with demonstrations10:54 Probabilistic robot behavior and safety12:20 What robots can do today13:53 Why hardware precision still matters16:53 When this reaches the real world17:59 Humanoids that look human vs. learn human18:40 The robotics boom around the world22:34 The risk of scaling too early23:46 Faster learning vs. more data26:20 The next frontier in robot learning

While many companies focus only on buying new AI tools, the real secret to success often lies in changing how leaders think and act to drive a massive business turnaround. In this episode, Anna White, EVP and Chief People Officer at Lumen, joins the show to discuss how a major networking company is transforming its business through a deep focus on leadership and AI. We explore how leaders must shift from being "knowers" to "learners" by embracing curiosity and a growth mindset. The discussion covers practical steps like launching an AI literacy academy for all employees, using "Dare to Lead" training to build courage, and managing the risks of "work slop" by ensuring human judgment always checks AI work. We also dive into real examples of AI pilots, such as the GoalPro tool for aligning targets, and examine how to prepare for a future hybrid workforce where humans manage AI agents. This conversation offers a clear roadmap for HR leaders handling the complex mix of culture change and digital transformation. ---------- Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

Melissa Krueger, CEO of Classic Vacations, has dedicated 30+ years to the travel industry. Serendipitously, her very first job in travel was with a French hotel group, where she regularly worked with travel advisors. Krueger quickly recognized that personal connections were far more important than product, and she brought that line of thinking to future roles in wholesale travel before moving to Classic Vacations. In this episode of Humans of Travel, Krueger reflects on the lessons that have shaped her as a leader, including building the right inner circle, being the kind of champion for others that you’d want for yourself and learning from the “scripts,” or examples, of others. Krueger also outlines Classic’s cultural pillars and discusses making career advancement moves to fit life stages. She also explains Classic’s ownership evolution, up to its recent acquisition by TBO, and previews the company’s continued digital transformation. Even with forward motion on the tech side, Krueger says that “trust, time and humanity” are and will remain foundational to Classic and the travel advisors it serves.

This week on Better Buildings for Humans, host Joe Menchefski welcomes Jon Phillips, CEO of PhillComm Global for a fascinating real-world look at what happens when daylighting science moves from theory into daily life. After years of working in a dark, screen-filled workspace, John redesigned his home studio and office around advanced daylighting—transforming the way he works, creates music, and experiences the workday.Joe and John explore how controlled, diffused daylight can eliminate glare, reduce heat, and replace the harsh fatigue of artificial lighting with balanced, full-spectrum illumination. The conversation dives into the science behind managing sunlight, the surprising role of translucent glazing in privacy and acoustic control, and how thoughtfully designed daylight can boost productivity, creativity, and well-being.From home studios to schools and workplaces, this episode shows how better light can fundamentally reshape the spaces where we live and work—and how experiencing it firsthand can change everything.More About Jon PhillipsTo comeContact:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonlindsayphillips/ https://www.phillcommglobal.org/ https://x.com/phillcomm?lang=en https://www.instagram.com/phillcomm/?hl=en  Where 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

Imagine a group of ancient humans, crafting stone tools at the dawn of humankind. What did these creatures look like? To find out, we can stare at the skulls in museums or glance at reconstructions made by paleo-artists. Not a bad start. But what if we move the lens and zoom into their surroundings? What was the scientific “Garden of Eden” like? Was it a lush forest, a dry savanna, or an icy cave? And what can the answer tell us about human nature more broadly?Denise Su is a world-leading expert on these questions. A paleoecologist at Arizona State University's Institute of Human Origins, she uses ever-more imaginative ways to get a glimpse into the nature and the weather that set the stage for the human story.In this episode, we focus on two kinds of “changes” in the ecology of human evolution: both the actual climate change that drummed the beat of human origins, and the theoretical changes in the views of scientists thinking about these topics. Indeed, this episode digs deep into one of the hotly contested questions about the reasons why humans evolved: "the savanna hypothesis".According to the savanna hypothesis, our naked, upright species evolved because African forests were shrinking and dry savannas emerged instead. Other apes stayed in the shrinking forests, but our brave ancestors took the shot, conquering the vast flatlands. As they did so, they started standing upright to better walk on the savanna and lost their fur, to sweat away the heat of the scorching sun. I have told versions of this story on the show, and so have many senior guests. Yet even a brief Google search will give you plenty of critics telling that the savanna hypothesis is nothing but a convenient myth.⁠ Articles by Denise Su⁠ are often included in the evidence. So what's going on? Listen to the episode to find out! TIMELINE Last common ancestor with humans and chimpanzees: 6–7 million years ago Ardipithecus ramidus: 4.5–4.2 million years ago Australopithecus anamnesis: 4.2–3.8 million years ago Austrolopithecus afarensis (e.g. Lucy): 3.9–2.9 million years ago Australopithecus deyiremeda: 3.5–3.3 million years ago Earliest Homo: about 2.8 million years ago Homo erectus: 1.9 million–112,000 years ago Homo sapiens: 300,000 years ago till present FACT-CHECKINGNo factual errors have been detected so far. However, timing estimates and species names are still debated. Furthermore, the “hours” in the metaphorical clock can shift a fair amount based on the “midnight”: our last common ancestor with chimpanzees lived 6 to 7 million years ago, with some estimates pushing the date as far as 8 million. In the episode, our clock is tuned to 6 million years ago. If you see an error, you can get in touch using the form below.LINKSSupport: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon.com/OnHumans⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Articles & newsletter: OnHumans/Substack.comGet in touch: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/h5wcmefuwvD6asos8⁠⁠⁠⁠KEY WORDSanthropology | archaeology | paleontology | human origins | human behavioural ecology | savanna hypothesis | paleolithic | paleoecology | hominid fossils | carbon isotopes C3/C4 | human evolution | human biology | climate change | human futures

In the fast-evolving landscape of the independent insurance industry, one crucial question emerges: How can agencies effectively blend human work with machine capabilities? In this post, we're diving deep into the distinct roles of humans and machines in insurance agencies, exploring the potential for increased efficiency and enhanced client relationships. Let's break down the insights shared by industry experts in the latest Scale Your Insurance Agency podcast.Understanding the Roles of Humans and MachinesThe conversation about machine work versus human work is more pertinent than ever in the insurance sector. Machines are designed to remove friction in operations, while humans excel at building trust and nurturing relationships. This balance is essential for agency leaders who want to leverage technology without losing the personal touch that clients value.Human Work: Building Trust and RelationshipsHuman work in an insurance agency encompasses tasks like:Judgment and Understanding: Assessing client needs for coverage options.Creativity: Crafting tailored solutions for diverse client scenarios.Relationship Management: Nurturing long-term client relationships.These elements underscore the importance of human interaction in a field that relies heavily on trust and personalized service. As the industry becomes more complex, freeing up human agents from repetitive tasks is crucial for them to focus on these critical aspects.Machine Work: Enhancing EfficiencyMachines excel at repetitive, rules-based tasks. Here's how agencies can leverage technology:Automating Routine Tasks: Data entry, document chasing, and renewals can be automated, allowing agents to focus on client engagement.Creating Playbooks: Instead of rigid standard operating procedures, agencies can develop flexible playbooks that guide machine operations while allowing for adaptability.By employing machines for these tasks, agencies can significantly increase efficiency and reduce the time spent on mundane tasks, ultimately leading to higher productivity.The Importance of Intentional SeparationOne of the key insights shared in the podcast is the necessity of intentionally separating machine work from human work. This intentionality allows agencies to:Maximize Efficiency: By ensuring that machines handle only repetitive tasks, human agents can dedicate their time to higher-value activities.Enhance Client Interactions: With more time freed up, agents can strengthen relationships with clients, leading to better service and increased retention.As the independent insurance industry evolves, so must the strategies employed by agencies. By understanding the balance between machine work and human work, agency leaders can enhance efficiency, reclaim valuable time, and ultimately foster stronger client relationships. Embrace the future of insurance by leveraging technology to create a more productive and client-focused agency.Are you ready to make this transition?Schedule Your Onyx Scaling Session Today: https://upponyx.com/

The San Joaquin River Parkway Trust has halted its use of human‑derived compost at Sumner Peck Ranch after Fresno County officials and the San Joaquin River Conservancy said the practice may violate state law and was done without required approval. County leaders, including Supervisor Garry Bredefeld, blasted the decision and warned the trust may face legal action if the material isn’t removed.

In today's episode I sit down with professor Ann Masten to unpack what resilience actually means—and why it's so often misunderstood. We explore her powerful definition of resilience as the capacity of a system to adapt to serious challenges, not just a personality trait or inner toughness. From everyday stress to real adversity, we discuss the difference between harmful trauma and growth-building challenges, and why kids need support—not perfection—to thrive. We talk about the “ordinary magic” of caring relationships, schools, communities, and cultural traditions, and why resilience is built through connection across multiple systems.I WROTE MY FIRST BOOK!

Humans evolved for face-to-face courtship in small communities, where attraction unfolded gradually and choices were limited. Today, we're navigating global dating markets, algorithms, AI recommendations, endless novelty, and constant rejection. So what happens when ancient mating psychology collides with modern technology? I am joined once again by Dr. Justin Garcia, evolutionary biologist and Executive Director of the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University. He is the chief scientific advisor for Match, and author of the new book The Intimate Animal: The Science of Sex, Fidelity, And Why We Live and Die For Love. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: How do dating apps shape our dopamine responses and bonding tendencies? Could AI actually improve mate selection, or is that better left to humans? Are changing relationship patterns a sign of human adaptability, or something else? Where might the future of sex, dating, and intimacy be headed? To learn more about Dr. Garcia, follow @drjustingarcia on the socials. Got a sex question?

Summary Welcome to our 500th episode! To celebrate this milestone, Andy talks with Steve Brown, AI futurist, keynote speaker, and author of The AI Ultimatum: Preparing for a World of Intelligent Machines and Radical Transformation. Steve brings a rare perspective shaped by years at Intel and Google DeepMind, and today helps organizations navigate two vital questions: what future do you want to build with AI, and what future do you want to avoid? They explore why waiting isn't actually the safe option it feels like, how to think about the different "flavors" of AI beyond just generative tools, and what it really means to orchestrate humans, AI agents, and robots together in the workplace. Steve introduces three types of AI agents—offload, elevate, and extend—and explains the crucial difference between automating tasks and truly transforming how work gets done. You'll also hear his candid take on the fear of being replaced and why doubling down on your humanity is the smartest career move you can make right now. If you're looking for a practical, empowering guide to leading through the AI revolution—without the hype—this episode is for you! Sound Bites "The difference between an AI-enabled or AI-first company and an AI laggard is going to be so great that if you don't get on the train, you may get to the point where you can never catch up." "Your competitors who have embraced AI faster than you are going to be just kicking your butt all over town." "There's a serious cost to inaction in that you can become made irrelevant." "The danger with that is you may automate yourself. It may automate away all of the differentiation you have in your brand and your company." "AI is this sort of amplification technology, and the challenge is to balance cost-cutting and value creation." "Each flavor of AI is useful for solving a different type of business problem." "It feels like a digital employee, right? A digital worker that works for you." "It's taking the suck out of your job." "The real opportunity here, is to transform the way you do work rather than just try and automate away tasks or people." "The workplace of the future is going to be three groups. Humans will still be in the workforce. Great! Go us!" "You won't be replaced by an AI or a robot. You'll be replaced by someone who knows how to use AI better than you do." "Double down on your humanity." "Focus on building the skills that cannot be replaced, or at least won't be replaced by machines anytime soon." "At the end of all of this is going to be lives of abundance, where we have the things that we need."

AI-powered agents and robots are already technically capable of performing an increasing share of human work. So how can workers, managers and organizations adapt to the dramatic shift?  A new McKinsey Global Institute report offers a roadmap. While AI is transforming the workplace at unprecedented speed, people will remain essential for many tasks that are still beyond AI's capabilities—and to supervise, manage and collaborate with the technology. In fact, the demand for workers with AI fluency has grown dramatically over the past two years. Work in the future will be a partnership between people, agents and robots.  Which skills are likely to be most—and least—impacted by automation? How can public institutions help by aligning education and training with emerging skill needs—from AI fluency to skilled trades—and widening access to opportunity? And what strategies can organizations adopt to help their workforce adapt? Join us for a conversation with report authors Alexis Krivkovich and Anu Madgavkar of McKinsey Global Institute, along with Katy George, Microsoft's corporate vice president of workforce transformation, and Kevin Delaney, editor-in-chief of The San Francisco Standard. They will discuss the research findings and share practical guidance for navigating the transition to human-AI collaboration at work. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this episode of The Movie Podcast, Daniel and Shahbaz visit Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville, California to meet the humans behind Disney and Pixar's HOPPERS, including Director Daniel Chong, Producer Nicole Grindle, Story Supervisor John Cody Kim, Story Artist Margaret Spencer, Production Designer Bryn Imagire, and Visual Effects Supervisor Beth Albright. Daniel and Shahbaz also reflect on their 2016 attempt to visit Pixar and what it was like returning to the studio nearly a decade later for this unforgettable experience. Later in the episode, they're joined by some Canadian hometown heroes working at Pixar, including John Cody Kim (Story Supervisor), Andreas Deutz (Animator), Scott Edelman (Simulation Artist), and Eddy Okbata (Animator), who share their journeys to the studio and what it's like bringing Pixar films to life. Hoppers follows animal lover Mabel (voiced by Piper Curda) who seizes the opportunity to test groundbreaking new technology that allows her to “hop” her consciousness into a lifelike robotic beaver—giving her the ability to communicate directly with animals. As she uncovers mysteries within the animal world beyond anything she could have imagined, Mabel befriends a charismatic beaver named King George (voiced by Bobby Moynihan). Together, they must rally the entire animal kingdom to confront a looming human threat: smooth-talking local mayor Jerry Generazzo (voiced by Jon Hamm).

Today on the show, we welcome Q, Miguel, and Raven of Renegade Theater speaking about their April production of Reefer Madness. Renegade Theater Co. is a community-based theater company in Santa Cruz, CA. Renegade is a 501 (C) (3) non-profit that creates theatrical productions meant to challenge the standard expectations of theater. The show benefactor for Reefer Madness is The Last Prisoner Project. Gennevie "Q" Herbranson has served as the board president of Renegade Theater since its inception three years ago. She has been involved in theater in Santa Cruz since the summer of 2019, originally supporting her two kids in the youth theater scene.Miguel Reyna is beside himself to be directing his first production for his friends at Renegade Theater. He has been acting in and directing theater for the past 40 years and will likely never stop. His past 20 years have happened here in Santa Cruz County. Most recently, he's directed Stephen King's Misery at Actors Theatre. He's also directed The Thin Place for Actors' Theatre and The Humans for Mountain Community Theater, and co-produced Evil Dead The Musical at MCT.Raven Voorhees is a barista in the heart of Santa Cruz (Abbott Square) and enjoys creating art both on and off stage. Raven has an extensive theatrical resume and has been in both of Renegade's previous adult musicals, Heather's and Cabaret. Raven is the lead role of Jimmy in Reefer Madness. In this conversation, we explore themes of propaganda, rebellion, and control over youth, using humor as political satire in a time when history is repeating itself in more ways than one.

Episode 784: Future Humans, Urban Legends & the Amazon's Boiling River Are UFOs actually… us? This week on The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro dive headfirst into one of the most unsettling and scientifically grounded UFO theories you've probably never seriously considered: what if “alien grays” aren't extraterrestrials at all—but future humans traveling back in time? Drawing from the work of biological anthropologist Dr. Michael P. Masters and his “extratempestrial” hypothesis, we explore how reported alien anatomy—large craniums, smaller jaws, reduced musculature, oversized dark eyes—might align disturbingly well with projected human evolution. If technology continues to shape our bodies, if artificial environments replace natural selection, and if reproductive trends continue to decline (with documented sperm count drops of 50–60% since the 1970s), could humanity biologically transform within 50,000–100,000 years into something that looks eerily like the beings reported in UFO encounters? And if that's the case… why would they come back? We unpack the reproductive crisis angle, the strange fixation on DNA in abduction lore, and the possibility that UFO “craft” aren't spacecraft at all—but space-time manipulation devices. Is time travel actually the more conservative explanation compared to faster-than-light travel? What would survival look like for a technologically advanced but biologically fragile future civilization? Then, because we love tonal whiplash, we pivot to something equally bizarre but undeniably real: the legendary Boiling River of the Amazon. Deep in Peru's rainforest flows Shanay-Timpishka, a river so hot it can nearly boil living creatures alive—reaching temperatures close to 200°F in certain stretches. Far from any volcano, this geothermal marvel has been documented by geoscientist Andrés Ruzo and remains steeped in Indigenous legend involving Yacumama, the great serpent spirit said to shape the waters. We explore the science, the myth, and why protecting “neat things” like a four-mile-long boiling river might matter more than we realize. From evolutionary biology to paranormal lore, from time machines to steaming rainforest rivers, this episode proposes one uncomfortable idea: If future humans are visiting us, they aren't here to save us or punish us. They're here because something survives… and something doesn't. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Loneliness is quietly becoming one of the most dangerous struggles of modern life, even among believers who sit in full churches each week. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar explore why fellowship is fading and why many feel isolated. The guys explain how social media fuels comparison and resentment by showcasing polished lives that make normal struggles feel shameful. People can stand in crowded rooms yet feel unseen, afraid that honesty will be met with misunderstanding. Biblical fellowship is part of God's design, and shared purpose in the gospel replaces isolation with meaningful work. Busyness may numb loneliness temporarily, but it cannot replace deep relationships rooted in Christ.The guys explore how fear of rejection and fear of being known keep people stuck in isolation. Humans are created in God's image for a relationship with Him and with others, so disconnection runs counter to design. The gospel is not only a rescue from judgment but an invitation into communion with God and His people. Isolation creates space where lies grow louder, though intentional time alone with the Lord is different from unhealthy withdrawal. When believers live aware of Christ's presence, they are never alone, yet they still need embodied community. The guys connect the loneliness crisis to the Fall and to a culture that celebrates radical independence. From the beginning, it was not good for man to be alone, reflecting a God who exists in perfect community. Modern life pushes people inward, urging them to build identity from feelings and demand affirmation from others. This inward focus can lead to shallow online groups that imitate belonging without offering truth or accountability. Real gospel community reshapes hearts and calls believers to lift their eyes from themselves toward loving God and serving others. Purpose pulls people out of despair and reminds them they belong to something eternal.Finally, the guys offer practical steps for rebuilding connections in a disconnected world. The starting point is Christ, because union with Him means a believer is never spiritually abandoned. Meaningful church involvement, discipleship, confession, and shared service are essential for growth. Overcoming isolation requires intention, such as changing habits, making time for friendships, and stepping into opportunities to serve with others. For those battling anxiety or fear, small but concrete steps matter. Christians are not meant to fight alone but to link arms, labor together, and find that fellowship is one of God's primary tools for joy, strength, and lasting hope.Send a textThanks for listening!

Users of TikTok and Meta's platforms, including Facebook and WhatsApp, reported widespread disruptions beginning Wednesday, Feb. 18, which have widely disrupted people's ability to communicate. Freedom tech like Bitchat, which provides offline messaging capabilities, and Nostr, a protocol for decentralized, censorship-resistant communication, will continue to play important roles in preserving speech, expression, and communication as authoritarian regimes increasingly restrict internet freedom.

We also find later on, after Caitanya Mahāprabhu, there was a deficit, and the teachings of Caitanya Mahāprabhu were not readily available. Even the Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta—which was the ultimate of all teachings of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and the synthesis of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam—was not readily available. So much so that Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura, the great ācārya, was looking for the Caitanya-caritāmṛta and could not find a single copy anywhere. The teachings of Caitanya Mahāprabhu had been not just obscured, but also perverted in many different ways. So, we can't take for granted that the product is available. But now it is, and that's due to the mercy of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Lord Nityānanda, and the devotees who have carried on the tradition. This morning, on an early walk hoping to see the sunrise, it was a beautiful, painted sky, I was thinking of a lyric—or perhaps just an idiom—from modern American society: "Be true to your school." Is it a lyric from a song? Sounds like the Beach Boys or something. I was thinking about what a "school" is. A school is a consolidation of knowledge meant to uplift us; that's really the idea. Humans have an urge for that. They want to be in a place where they can take advantage of all the best knowledge the world has to offer. Nowadays, it has become a little more vocationally oriented, but previously, classical education had to do with bringing all the best books, teachings, and teachers together in one place. That's what universities were for: to get well-grounded in knowledge and gain a wider context and view of the world. Then, as one has a grounding in knowledge, one can also discern what is "the best." That's the idea of Vedānta. There's knowledge, and then there's the end of knowledge. Of course, if one just studies endlessly, it never comes to a conclusion. There are ways in which people say, "When are you going to graduate?" or "When are you going to finish?" You get a doctorate, then a post-doc—and then what do you have? What do you do after that? We're not meant simply to study endlessly and come to no conclusion. Even Socrates and Plato talked about coming to an ultimate conclusion. It's not that we just break everything down and are fascinated by the process; there should be a development of character (that's more Aristotle). We should also discern the purpose of life and what we should be aiming for as human beings—something to aim for. So all of that comes to bear in the teachings of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. But what's most unusual and fantastic about Caitanya Mahāprabhu, whom we're celebrating today and tomorrow, is that...0:04:19 ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century existentialist and feminist philosopher, novelist, essayist, and playwright Simone de Beauvoir's book, The Ethics of Ambiguity It focuses specifically on what she calls the "paradox of action" which imposes itself upon human beings, which is "no action can be generated for man without it being immediately generated against men".

Will Madden joins the podcast to talk about Prisma Next and the evolution from Prisma 7, including the decision to migrate away from Rust, ship the core through WebAssembly, and move toward a fully TypeScript ORM. The conversation dives into how modern workflows like agentic coding change the role of an ORM and why tools still matter even when agents can write SQL queries directly. We discuss how feedback loops, guardrails, and the TypeScript type system help prevent errors, along with the new query builder, query linter, and middleware layer that analyze queries using an abstract syntax tree. The episode also covers new database capabilities including Postgres support, upcoming Mongo support, and extensions like PG Vector, enabling vector columns and cosine distance similarity search. You'll also learn about new patterns such as collection methods, scopes, and composable database extensions, plus tooling like driver adapters, a potential compatibility layer, and safeguards like lint rules and a performance budget middleware designed to catch expensive queries before they run.

Doug Foltz explains how he used AI to solve a real coach-development bottleneck: mentor coaching doesn't scale. By building a competency rubric and an AI "agent" that evaluates coaching transcripts, Doug's team reduced hours of expert analysis to minutes—then re-centered the human work where it matters most: reflection, agency, and a short mentor-coaching conversation. The bigger idea: "communal co-intelligence"—AI not just as a personal assistant, but as a tool that helps a whole coaching community preserve culture, build consistency, and scale development without losing what makes coaching human. Episode description How do you scale mentor coaching when you don't have the budget—or the hours? Doug Foltz (Content Engineering & Value Alignment Lead at Gloo, DMin candidate at Asbury, and longtime church-planting coach) shares how he built an AI-supported mentor-coaching loop: a detailed competency rubric + an AI evaluator that reviews transcripts in minutes. But Doug also warns about a hidden danger: AI can bypass reflection, which is essential for adult learning. So they intentionally added "friction" back into the process—reflection first, then AI feedback, then a short human coaching conversation. Along the way, Doug introduces a powerful concept: communal co-intelligence—AI that strengthens a community's shared language, values, and coaching culture. Key moments (timestamps) 0:02–1:20 – Who Doug is + why Brian calls him the "AI guy" 1:49–3:21 – The real problem: coaching training doesn't stick without mentor coaching 3:34–5:06 – Doug's solution: a rubric + AI agent that evaluates transcripts (levels 1–3) 6:44–8:15 – The twist: reflection is essential; AI can accidentally remove it 8:28–9:00 – The human loop: 15–20 minute mentor conversation after reflection + report 10:38–14:35 – Why AI matters: replaces 3–4 hours of expert analysis with minutes 15:04–16:15 – The church's role: protect what's uniquely human; set boundaries 16:27–19:16 – "Communal co-intelligence": AI + a coaching community's culture and standards 21:24–23:00 – What they observed: fast growth from Level 1 → Level 2; harder jump to Level 3 23:29–25:46 – Craft guild model: learn the fundamentals, then innovate without losing the core 28:57–31:14 – What's next: agentic systems, tools + data access, and AI as "work orchestrator" Key ideas AI can scale mentor coaching by doing the transcript evaluation quickly and consistently. Reflection is non-negotiable in adult learning; AI can "steal" it by doing the thinking for you. The solution is intentional friction: reflection → AI feedback → short human mentor coaching. Agency matters: don't make AI the all-knowing guru; keep the learner's authority intact. Communal co-intelligence: AI can reinforce a shared coaching culture across many coaches. Early gains can be rapid (novice → intermediate), but advanced mastery takes longer. The future is agentic systems that combine tools + data + context to orchestrate real work. Quotable lines (pull quotes) "We really can't scale coaching very well." "Mentor coaching is what makes the training stick." "My process actually bypasses [reflection] entirely." "We added a friction point… and we made them reflect." "You don't want the AI to be the all-knowing guru." "That's the part of the process that we said, we're going to replace." (re: 3–4 hours of evaluation) "Communal co-intelligence… it's the AI with our coaching community." "It becomes this orchestrator of work within an organization." Discussion questions (for Learning Lab / staff meeting) Where would AI help us scale without compromising what we value most? What part of our development process must remain human-only? Where might AI accidentally remove reflection, struggle, or ownership? What would a "reflection-first" workflow look like for our coaches or trainers? What are the risks of communal AI (shared culture) becoming static or overly controlling? If AI becomes an "orchestrator of work," what data is off-limits—and why? Practical takeaway AI is best used as a leverage tool—not a replacement for learning. Let it do the heavy lift of analysis and pattern recognition, then spend your human time where it counts: reflection, discernment, presence, and coaching conversations that build ownership and growth. If you design it well, AI doesn't dilute your culture—it can actually help you scale it.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the business landscape, redefining how value is created and where human work fits within the new paradigm. Long-standing advice to amass knowledge and out-execute others is now running up against sophisticated AI agents that can process information and perform tasks at speeds and scales unattainable by humans. In this emerging era, Christopher Lochhead's insights point to a critical shift from being a traditional “knowledge worker” to embracing the future as a “creator capitalist.” On this episode, Christopher Lochhead moves over to the guest chair and answer our questions about AI, Creator Capitalists, and the future of work.  You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Why the Knowledge Worker Playbook Is Obsolete For decades, success in business hinged on being a master of knowledge and execution. This model rewarded those who reacted effectively, put out fires, and delivered results with established frameworks. However, with AI making information and execution nearly free and instantly accessible, simply reacting and executing is no longer enough. As Christopher Lochhead argues, clinging to this outdated success formula is akin to opening a video rental store in the age of streaming services. Today, the competitive edge lies in moving upstream to activities that AI cannot easily replicate. This means focusing on judgment, unique perspectives, and the ability to define, frame, and solve new problems. Humans cannot out-execute a GPU, but they can out-create one by leveraging skills that remain distinctly human.   The Four Capitals of the Creator Capitalist Framework Lochhead's Creator Capitalist concept rests on the mastery and integration of four kinds of capital: intellectual, relationship, reputational, and financial. Intellectual capital emerges from differentiated insights, deep domain expertise, and unique perspectives. Relationship capital is built through genuine connections and trust within your network, while reputational capital is earned through tangible results and reliability, not just self-promotional branding. Bringing these capitals together creates a flywheel that drives lasting success, even as AI commoditizes old sources of value. Financial capital follows as a natural result of delivering value that others find meaningful. Those able to orchestrate these four capitals will build not just AI-resistant careers but ones supercharged by the new opportunities technology presents.   Unleashing Human Potential: Adapt, Create, and Lead As AI handles more routine tasks, the future belongs to those who cultivate curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. These human abilities enable us to ask better questions, generate bold ideas, and envision solutions no algorithm can predict. Lochhead urges professionals to take radical responsibility for their careers and continually seek ways to create net new value. Adapting to this shift means letting go of fear and embracing the opportunity to redefine what it means to be valuable. The most successful individuals and organizations will be those who harness AI as a tool to augment their creative power and lead the way into uncharted territory. The age of the creator capitalist has arrived, and it's time to build the future together.

For as long as we've known, humans have revered ancient trees. We have also destroyed them, especially since the advent of colonialism and fossil fuel capitalism. Historian Jared Farmer reflects on what trees illuminate about our past and potential future. The post Fund Drive Special: Humans and Ancient Trees appeared first on KPFA.

What separates someone who'd donate a kidney to a stranger from someone who might steal one? Abigail Marsh explains the neuroscience of fear on part 1 of 2.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1292What We Discuss with Dr. Abigail Marsh:Psychopaths don't lack all emotion — they specifically lack the ability to recognize and feel fear. Where most people see terror on someone's face, a psychopath sees something unidentifiable — a deficit that fundamentally rewires how they relate to other humans.Many of psychology's most famous studies — the Stanford Prison Experiment, the Milgram shock test, the Kitty Genovese bystander story — turned out to be deeply flawed or outright fabricated. Humans are actually far more compassionate than these narratives suggest; CCTV data shows bystanders intervene 90% of the time.Psychopathy isn't caused by "bad parenting" in any simple way — it's a neurodevelopmental disorder with significant genetic heritability, much like autism or ADHD. Blaming parents echoes the same harmful logic that once attributed schizophrenia to "cold mothers."Household chaos — literal noise, inconsistent rules, revolving caregivers — makes it significantly harder for children to learn behavioral patterns. It's not just abuse that derails development; it's the inability to pick out a reliable signal from an overwhelming amount of environmental noise.The sweet spot of effective parenting — and really, of shaping better humans — is combining genuine warmth with consistent boundaries. Love without structure breeds entitlement; structure without love breeds resentment. But together, they build the foundation for compassion and resilience in any child.And much more...

Most of us assume angels rank above humans in the great cosmic hierarchy. But angels, for all their mystery and power, lack two essential parts of what it means to be human: a physical body and the kind of covenant relationship with God that shapes our story. Kaitlyn takes up the simple question of whether angels are boys or girls and uses it to draw out the deeper differences between angels and humans and how these differences point us back to the astonishing claim at the heart of Scripture: that embodied, relational humanity holds a uniquely honored place in God's creation.   0:00 - Theme Song   1:08 - Angels in the Bible   8:26 - Do Angels Have Bodies?   13:34 - Sponsor - Hiya Health - Go to https://www.hiyahealth.com/CURIOUSLY to receive 50% off your first order   15:01 - Sponsor - With & For: Psychology and Spirituality for Thriving Podcast.
