Humans eating crawfish is nothing new. In fact, in North America alone it's been going on for several thousands of years. However, the craft of deliberately farming crawfish is relatively new in the grand scheme of things. Jason Roberts, a Mississippi native, walks us through the story and process of starting up his crawfish farm. What all went into it, how he figured it out, what type of crawfish species he targets, and the unexpected harmony found between crawfish farming and waterfowl land management.

Previously, Paul addressed the divine sovereignty side of the "problem of Israel" rejecting the gospel. Now, Paul addresses the human responsibility side. Humans have a real role to play when it comes to salvation. Our responsibility is to put our faith in Jesus as our Lord and Savior. This means surrendering and entrusting our lives to Jesus with both an inward conviction as well as an outward expression of belief. And as the responsibility to believe falls upon everyone, the invitation to believe goes out to everyone.

7/19/2026 Genesis 22:7-8 What's So Important About A Lamb? Intro: Mary had a little lamb. A lamb is so meek and innocent. They don't growl. They don't bark. They don't fight. They don't run very well. They don't have any natural defense. Yet they provide wool that clothes us…covers us from our nakedness. What does all that mean? Lambs are unable to help themselves. They cannot save themselves. Their wool is so valuable though. Lambs are highly valued in the animal world. Humans are highly valued to God as lambs are to us. When a Hebrew gives a lamb to sacrifice that is a very important animal to the owner. It's wool is very valuable to him. He must give up a lot to offer a lamb, his best lamb. God gave up a lot to kill the Lamb of God. He gave His best, His only Son.

Full show notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/signalspodcast In this episode with Tom Moss, founder and CEO of Vital Signals, you'll hear how a near-fatal hypertensive crisis during a family vacation became the founding moment for a device that may finally solve the problem of getting accurate blood pressure readings in real life without a cuff. Tom explains why blood pressure is the single most important indicator of long-term cardiovascular health and yet one of the least accurately measured, what the cuff gets wrong, and how Vital Signals achieved the scientific breakthrough that other companies failed to crack: accurate, calibration-free blood pressure monitoring from a ring. You'll also hear about the interplay between sleep, stress, hormones, sauna, cold, and blood pressure, what the Signal Ring's data is already revealing about human arterial health, and where this technology could go over the next decade. Tom Moss is the founder and CEO of Vital Signals, building at the intersection of heart health, technology, and everyday behavior. After his experience with undiagnosed hypertension, he became focused on why some of the most critical health signals remain so difficult and often stressful to understand. Pre-order your Signal Ring from LIFE Market and measure your blood pressure without the cuff. Ships October 2026.

Mindfulness can be helpful, but ultimately the mind seeks some positive engagement. According to the Vedic process, which is what we follow, there are various categories of philosophy under a sage named Dvaipāyana Vyāsadeva. We follow the Vedic process, which can be understood in the summary study of all the Vedas, called the Bhagavad-gītā. Therein is a hint of the best way to engage the mind, which is in relationship—not emptying the mind, or not just stilling the mind, but engaging the mind in a relationship. We may note that throughout human and even animal society, living beings have a vested interest in relationships. You can notice butterflies, even after they are born, consorting with one another. Birds are famous for building a little love nest; they work together, the male and female bird, to pick up straw and build a nest. Humans, you can see, going to and from Home Depot doing something similar. But the point there is not to build something, but to have a place where one can be in relationship. So, in the process of bhakti-yoga—or I could say, the great teacher of bhakti-yoga, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu laid out the tenets of bhakti-yoga that we follow even today. He pointed out that the Bhagavad-gītā and the other explanations of the Vedas, the consolidation or the essentialization of the Vedas in the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, point us towards the highest form of engagement of the mind, which is called devotional service. It's underlying principle is that we all have a loving propensity. When the mind is absorbed in the idea of service out of love, then it's completely satisfied. All other states leave us wanting, and those other states are not stable; they may shift from one point to another. There is a word that comes from Latin: "enthralment." "En" means "in," and "thrall" means "to be imprisoned." When we say we are enthralled by something, we are utterly captured by it. In the positive sense of that imprisonment, there's a way in which the mind can be captured. Another word that expresses a similar concept is "rapture," which means to be fully absorbed in a topic. Well, the Bhagavad-gītā and the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam point out that we are most interested in love and loving relationships. Therefore, in the essentialization of the process of bhakti-yoga, there is a system by which we can express that loving emotion that we have and connect with the object of love that is unlimitedly satisfying.

In this episode, Betsy asks, are you feeling resentful? Are you feeling angry? Are you feeling invisible? She advises that the first place to look, is not him. The first place to look is where you’ve centered him and where you’ve disappeared. In the Navigate Method Betsy says, you can’t make a clear decision about your marriage from a place where you’ve already abandoned yourself. So listen in and learn how you can learn to live big! Transcript:  Welcome to The Art of Living Big, where we explore how to live intentionally and with more joy. I’m Betsy Pake, your host, master, coach, and creator of the Navigate Method. Here to help you listen in to your true desires, elevate your standards, and live life to the fullest. Now, let’s go live big. Hi, everybody. Welcome to the show today. This week, you’re getting this episode this week. I know on the, on Instagram, if you follow on Instagram, I was going to answer a bunch of questions, and that episode will be next week. Next week I’ll be in Belize for the retreat, and that’s the episode that will drop on Thursday. So look out for that. Joy and I just had… We had issues scheduling. It became like a chasing each other all day, and so I thought, “You know what? I, I have another thought,” something that we talked about in group. So I wanna get to this. Okay. So there’s this moment, I think, when we stop orbiting somebody else. I’m gonna explain what I mean here. But it’s, it’s when you stop, , checking their mood before you make a decision, or when you stop thinking about how they’re gonna perceive you before you get dressed. Does anybody else… Am I the only one that does this? Or if you cook. You know, you’re cooking dinner, and you’re like, “Uh, are they gonna like this?” I know that some of this stuff might sound like courtesy, but I wanna… Just hang with me here, because I wanna, , uh, like sort of separate this out, because I think there is a moment that this awareness happens. If you leave your partner or you’ve made a big change with how you experience your partnership, I think that there is a moment where this orbiting becomes really disorienting, and so disorienting that you’re starting to recognize that there’s, , this piece of you inside here that is… , you’re not even quite sure where she is. You, you have, like, pieces of her, but she is really contorting herself. You know what I think of, like, when I, when I think of this, is like, you know if you have a cat and then you have, like, a weird shaped item? And they get in the weird shaped item, and th- they’re still a cat, but they’re not really, like, cat shaped anymore. I remember when I moved into my apartment a couple years ago, you know, after my divorce, and I’m, I’m here in my place, and I had this awareness that I didn’t check to see what somebody else was doing or wanted to do, or where I needed to be in the house, you know? I, I, I didn’t have to think about whether my dinner was gonna make the house smell like something he wouldn’t like, or I didn’t have to wonder… I didn’t, I just didn’t have to think about anybody else. And even think about, when I put on an outfit, is this something that would be, I’m gonna say like acceptable, but hang with me as I think through this. Not like, it, not like I’m dressing like a, like a hoe, you know? But is this something that men would like? I mean, I think we put it through a filter. You know, we talk about dressing for the male gaze or dressing for the female gaze. And there was this moment where I was in my apartment and I recognized that everything that I was doing was still orbiting other people who weren’t even there. They weren’t even in the house. And honestly, it was weird. Because centering somebody else, even when you don’t like ’em, even when you’re tired from it, but it’s a habit. It is like a groove that you’ve worn into yourself. And I think when you stop, there is a place where that person used to be, and you have to figure out who you are when you’re not constantly thinking about somebody else. So I wanna talk about this, and I wanna talk about it in the frame of something that has come up over and over again in our groups. And it’s really about this centering and how we center other people. It could be anybody. It could be how we center our kids’ school or school activities or everything about our lives. And I wanna talk about why that matters so much inside a partnership. So let me back up just a little bit. I wanna name, , what I mean by, , centering. So to me, centering someone m- else means that their perspective, you know, their, their needs, maybe their mood or their comfort, becomes sort of this, like, organizing principle of your day. So it becomes the thing that you are making little, little and big decisions around. And I don’t think it’s conscious necessarily. I think it’s usually really automatic. , You wake up, and you’re already scanning maybe for his mood or for who needs what or for what you need to do to make the day m- run smoothly for everybody else, and you’re calculating. Like, is it a good time to say something? You know, you’re running through what you’re gonna make for dinner and whether he’ll like it, and you’re dressing for somebody else or for what you think everybody else would like or what’s popular or trending or whatever. And you’re realizing that you are making yourself smaller so that everybody else can stay the same size or even grow or expand or become who they are meant to be. And I think we’re taught that this is love. I think that we were taught that centering the people we love is what good women do I think my mother did it. You know, my mother centered the kids for sure. She centered me and my sister. She centered my dad, for sure. , My grandmother did it. I, I think we just see it everywhere. , This idea that a, a woman, I’m gonna say a man, shapes herself around a man, but we really can shape ourselves around just about anything, you know? It’s, it’s really the version of us that makes it our job to keep the peace and to adjust. And I think we call it, , being a good partner or sacrifice or I’m devoted to this thing. You know, we, we call it marriage. But, but I think it’s an element of self-abandonment. And I wanna say, you might be like, “I don’t mind doing that all the time.” Maybe sometimes, but then is it conscious? And if it’s unconscious, is it truly a choice or is it you disappearing? And I think it gets a little bit tricky because self-abandonment doesn’t feel like a bad thing when you’re doing it. , It feels safe. It feels like you’re doing a good job, you know? It feels like you’re managing things or managing a situation or, or, or keeping it all together, you know? I remember that commercial, and I know I’ve mentioned it here before, but even as a kid, I was like, “This seems fucked up.” But it was like the, um, I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and never, ever let you forget you’re a man. I’m like, look, you get, like, maybe two of those things out of three. Like, likely not. Pick one. I don’t know. But I think that there happens, , in, in our lives when we feel like what we’re doing is really being great, and marketing has taught us that, , our lives have taught us that. And then I think one day you realize that the reason you feel lonely in this partnership isn’t because you’re alone, but it’s because you lost yourself somewhere along the way, and maybe you realize that you’ve been gone for so long that you don’t actually know how to come back. So something that comes up in our groups over and over, and a couple weeks ago we were all talking, and I had this, , moment, you know? , And when I say groups, inside the Navigate method, this is my program that helps women make the big decision on whether to stay or leave your, their marriage. You can find out more about that on our website, or you can book a call to talk to us at betsypake.com. Okay. So- We were talking about it, and I had this thought. Now, this might be a thought y- that you’re gonna be like, “This is an obvious thought,” but the way it hit me was a little different. And I was like, men aren’t taught to de-center themselves. They are actually taught the opposite. They’re taught what we’re taught, which is to center them. They’re taught that their perspective is the one that matters, that their needs are the most important, and that the world kind of revolves around them at, at least a, a little bit, you know? And I’m not saying all men are like this. I’m not, I’m not saying anything is absolute. Humans are individuals, right? But I think this is a pattern, and I think when we’re socialized, and I think when we’re in the patriarchal system that we have all grown up with here, , I think it comes up, like constantly. And so you have a situation where she has disappeared, and he is centered. So she’s checking his mood. He’s not checking hers. And she’s thinking about her, how her actions affect him, and he is really not thinking about how his actions affect her Or if he is, it, it doesn’t come off in the same way, right? , She’s making sure he’s okay, and he doesn’t think to ask. And then she tries to communicate. She tries to say, “Hey, you know, this thing happened that hurt me. , This thing doesn’t feel good.” And he genuinely can’t see it from her perspective. It’s not because he’s a jerk. It’s not because he’s a terrible person. It’s because he is so centered in his own experience., His experience is the experience. His way of seeing things is the way. And so she’s trying to explain something from, , the outside looking in, and he’s looking from the inside looking out, and those are, like, two totally different vantage points, where you just don’t see the same horizon, you know? And I think that’s when resentment gets built. It’s not necessarily from what he did or from the fact that he can’t see what he did or from the fact that she has to explain it or, or, even that when she does explain it, he might not understand, because he’s not built to think that way. You know, she’s exhausted, because now she’s also managing herself. She’s also trying to translate her experience into some sort of version of language that he can understand. We talk about this all the time in group, like, what’s his reality? How can we get to the other vantage point so that you can explain and articulate yourself in a way that feels good, ? That, honors where you are, but also he could, if he was reaching for it, could find you in that. And it’s really about, it’s n- uh, w- when we were talking in group, I was like, “You know, I, I don’t even know that it is about… It’s about communication, but it’s also about trying to get him to de-center for just long enough to see her- And most of the time, I, I don’t think men can do it, and it’s not because they don’t love us, it’s, it’s because they weren’t ever taught to or socialized to. You know how… I remember when my son was little and we had this, , toy that was like a babbler. It would talk in, , different languages so that those patterns were formed in his head so if he wanted to, to learn another language later on, those neural pathways had been created, you know? Neural pathways get pruned, so it didn’t matter. It didn’t matter. But that was the idea of it, right? And so it was the idea of if I could teach another way of seeing things, then seeing things another way could become easier Okay, so when I moved into my apartment, I’m there in my apartment. I have, uh, I have been, like, free of this dynamic where I have to center somebody else for the first time, , in decades. In decades, right? ‘Cause I feel like I’ve lived with somebody or had a partner or whatever forever, or had a kid. You know what I mean? There’s always somebody. And so here I am, my kid’s an adult, lives on his own. I’m here in my apartment. I’m all moved in. My stuff is here. I have no pet. At that point, Dean Martin was not, had not moved in. And Dean Martin’s the cat, for anybody new. So Dean Martin had not moved in, and so now here I am, and I am free from that dynamic for the first time in so long. And you would think that that would feel amazing, and I think it does, like, in moments. But mostly, it started to feel like I don’t know who I am. And I do this work, but being alone shifted something, because I spent a long, long time centering somebody else, so long that I don’t actually know how to make a decision that’s just for me without even, thinking about them. Do you know what I mean? I wanted to not even be thinking about them. And it, it took me a minute to realize, oh my God, why am I thinking about that? Like, why am I doing that same thing? And then I realized, I started thinking about, well, like, what about my son? I wonder what he’s doing for dinner. What is he w- like, j- same thing, but just with a different person. I think I started doing it a little bit with my friends. I started just, , checking with people. , Before I know what I wanna do, I wanna see what everybody else is doing. And then I realized, like, this isn’t even about my former partner. It’s about me. It is about a pattern that is so deep in my bones that I am just gonna keep doing it until I consciously, repeatedly choose something different. And so I had to start really asking myself a question. So instead of, like, what does everybody else need or what does everybody else want, I started asking, and I, I started asking this deliberately, even if I didn’t notice. Like when I put my outfit on, sometimes I would put it on, and then I’d be like, “Eh, I don’t know that… Like, people are gonna think this looks dumb.” Again, centering other people, right? So I would ask, like, “Is this the choice that’s best for me? Like, is this something that makes me happy? Do I feel good about this?” And I know that sounds really simple, but when you’ve spent, , your whole life… And women, we are- We are, I wanna say created. We’re not created to do that, but we are taught from, m- you know, taught from a very young age to do that. So when you’ve spent your whole life centering other people, asking yourself that question feels crazy. It feels really crazy. And I started doing it with like small things, but I wanted to make it like a repetition. So like what do I want? I remember in my partnership if I made like eggs, my partner didn’t like that because he didn’t like how the egg smelled, and so there would be a lot of thoughts about that that were shared with me. And so I would think like, “I’m gonna make eggs. Is anybody coming over?” Nobody, nobody was coming over. Like I had nobody to come over. But I, that’s what I would think. Instead of , “What do I feel like? Do I feel like eggs?” Or you know, whatever, whatever kind of eggs I wanted. Like is that what I want? Instead of , “Does this outfit feel good? Do I feel happy in this?” I would think “Oh, this makes me look like I have no waist.” Who cares? Like who cares? And so I started noticing all the ways that I was centering people, and the ways that I was still performing a version of myself in certain situations. And I think it’s interesting because we think, and I often, and I’ve even said it on this podcast like years ago, like if there was just no people, I would be great. But then I lived alone and there was no people, and it wasn’t great. It was, it was interesting. It was the way I was still afraid to say no. The way I was still checking with some outside source before I made a decision so I wouldn’t rock the boat. It was weird. Eight months. Eight months is how long it took me before I noticed that I wasn’t doing that, and it was like a moment where I was like, “Oh my God, I just made that choice and didn’t think anything of it.” Eight months before I could make a decision just because it was good for me without feeling something about it. And, some days I still catch myself doing it. I talked with a girlfriend recently, and I said about how I was getting ready to go on a date. I know we’re gonna talk about that next week on the podcast. I was getting ready to go on a date, and I put on an outfit, and then I thought, “This is not an…” I, I… It was twofold things that I thought. “This is not an outfit you wear on a date, and this makes me look gigantic,” because it was all, like, big, roomy, th- flowy dress, or whatever the heck it was. I don’t even remember. And I got mad at myself because I was doing this scanning thing, and I was like, “God, I haven’t even been dating b-,” you know what I mean? “But a couple days and I’m already back to centering other people?” And I talked to a friend of mine, my friend Heather, and my friend Heather said, “It’s okay to center them sometimes. , That can be a choice. It’s okay to dress for the male gaze sometime. It’s okay to dress for the female gaze sometime. It’s… Like, that might feel good to you.” And it was a w- odd permission that I think I needed. Being in this space of like, “Oh, hell no” for so long w- you know, in my own process, it, it was interesting to me because I feel like when I show up in, in coaching and group, I’m so open, like, what feels g- like, there is validity on both sides, but when it came to myself, it was interesting, you know? So it’s okay sometimes, but we want to be conscious of it, right? So let me kinda map out… Let me do it this way. So I wanna map out sort of what, l- like, when you’ve been centering somebody else for years and years and years. Here’s what I think. Here’s, , the, , dynamic I think. I think first you sort of disappear. You know? I think it… Well, I think it kind of happens. You disappear, right? A little less of your opinion here, a little less of your preference here, you know? You get smaller. You take up less space, you know? You make decisions based on what’s keeping the peace instead of what’s true for you. And then I think, in that disappearance, something happens. I think, without realizing it, you start to resent the person that you’re centering, and it’s not because of who they are. It really isn’t, and this is why I always say this in my videos. , It’s because you’ve abandoned yourself to stay with them But perhaps it could have been okay even if you’d stayed with yourself. So you resent that they don’t notice when you’ve gone quiet. You resent that they don’t ask why you’re not yourself anymore, or you resent that they, that they are able to just live their life centered in themselves while you’re over here like a cat trying to, , fit into a weird shaped vase, right? And so then I think you start to collect evidence. , He did that, he did this, he didn’t notice this, you know, he didn’t… or she didn’t ask about that. And every piece of evidence that you gather kinda gets added to this, , big pile because , I think the real issue here, or the real problem, we’ll use the word problem, isn’t what he did. The real problem is that you made yourself so small that you have become invisible, but then you’re angry at him for not seeing you. But he can’t see you, ’cause you disappeared on him. He’s not looking for you, because as far as he knows, you’re right there just adjusting and adapting like he is the center, ’cause that’s what that’s what he believes, right? So now you’re resentful, you’re trying to communicate why you’re resentful, and you’re trying to get him to see that the problem is not that he did one specific thing. The problem is this, , huge whole dynamic. And the problem is that you don’t exist in this relationship anymore. That’s the actual problem, is that you’ve centered him for so long that there just doesn’t seem to be any room for you. And because he’s looking at you and thinking, “What are you talking about? I didn’t do anything.” Because he’s centered himself because that’s what he was taught. He can’t see the centering in this dynamic because it’s b- he– because he’s benefiting from it. So now you’re both stuck, right? Like, you’re invisible and angry, he’s confused and defensive, and now the actual thing that’s broken, it’s the centering. It’s the disappearing. And so I think what happens is we try to fix this by having better conversations, or to explain, like, more and more and more clearly, right? Or trying to get him to understand. And you cannot fix a centering problem by centering them more. I know that sounds so, like… You can’t fix a disappearing problem by disappearing even more. So what does it look like to actually de-center? So it looks like asking yourself, what do you actually want? And then honoring that. I know it sounds so simple, but that’s it. It looks like you say no when you wanna say no, even if people get disappointed or grumpy. To be okay with the grumpy can be really hard. But it looks like you making a decision based on what’s right for you, not based on just what’s right for everybody else. It looks like, you know, letting other people be a little uncomfortable. Like, being okay with that. It looks like being willing to wa- rock the boat. You know, at Thanksgiving time, I think every year, the past, , two or three years, I post this video that I did, like, three years ago about Thanksgiving, and I was going to get pie. And I was hovering over the pies, and everybody wanted pumpkin pie or apple pie. And I want cherry pie. And I was like, everybody’s g- like, I’m not gonna buy a cherry pie for me. , I actually thought that. I’m not gonna just buy a cherry pie for… It’s the holiday. It’s my holiday, too. Like, I don’t have to lose myself just to accommodate other people. And so I think that, you know… So I bought the cherry pie, but I, I was like, even if I eat one piece and throw it out, , I’m okay with that. It’s Thanksgiving. And I think the thing is, is that when you’re doing it You know, uh, I don’t think it feels, when you’re, like, doing it, when I say it, when you’re de-centering, I don’t think it feels selfish to anybody else. I think it feels selfish to you because you were taught your whole life that taking care of yourself is selfish and that centering other people is what love looks like. But de-centering isn’t selfish. It’s just you coming back to yourself. And I think when we start de-centering, especially in a partnership, I think things shift. I think it shifts marriages in good ways. I think it shifts, , partnerships. I think it sh- can shift relationships at work. I think sometimes it shifts in a way that doesn’t work anymore But either way, it shifts. Because now they’re with the real version of you, and you don’t wanna be in a relationship with somebody who’s not you. Now he’s with a woman, or she’s with a woman, who has opinions and preferences and needs, and now he’s not with someone who’s disappearing. And I think for some men, that can be really great. I think they actually like the real version of you better. They actually wanna be with someone who’s not making themselves small. And for some men, you know, the centering was the whole deal, like having a woman who disappears so he can stay centered is really important to him, and that’s what he signed up for. But when you de-center, then that whole dynamic doesn’t work anymore, and that is a lot of really important information that you won’t have otherwise. So I wanna say this, and I wanna be, like, honest about how I see this. And again, you know, this is my podcast, so I say what I think. You’re… You can ex- you can climb on board and like, “That makes a lot of sense to me,” but you don’t have to. There can be parts of this that feel true to you and parts that don’t. But I think that de-centering is not a quick fix. I don’t think it’s something that you decide one day and you’re done. And the reason I say that is because I lived in an apartment by myself, and it took me eight months. Eight months before I could automatically shift to not centering. Eight months of asking myself over and over again, “What do I want? What’s true for me? Is this the best choice for me?” And that’s just the basics. That’s just getting to the place where you’re not constantly thinking about what somebody else needs. Uh, like we’ve been learning… I mean, I was learning that for 53 years. And I think the deeper work, the work of actually building a life around yourself instead of around someone else, I think that takes even longer. But here’s what I know. Every single time that you choose yourself, every single time you say no, every single time you make a decision based on what’s true for you, you’re de-centering. And it gets easier, and it gets more familiar, and it starts to feel less like you’re being selfish and more like you’re actually being alive. So- If you’re thinking like, “Oh, I think if I de-centered, he wouldn’t like that.” , I’m not here to tell you to leave your marriage. , I’m not here to tell you that your husband is a problem, and I’m not here to tell you what to do. But I am here to tell you this: if you’re resentful, if you’re angry, if you feel invisible, the first place to look is not him. The first place to look is where you’ve centered him and where you’ve disappeared. Because you can’t make a clear decision about your marriage from a place where you’ve already abandoned yourself. You can’t think straight when you’re invisible. You can’t hear your own wisdom, your own internal guidance when you’re so busy, , listening to everybody else. So ask yourself, what is it that you really want? Not what your kids need, what… not what your husband needs, not what your friends think you should do, but what do you really want? I remember I went with my son. He messaged me and said, “Do you wanna go get ice cream?” And I really didn’t want to, and I thought about saying no, and I decided to go anyway because he wanted to, and that made me happy. But knowing that I didn’t want to and that I was making a choice to that was conscious changed everything. So when you know what you want, when you’re grounded in that, and then you can make a real decision, you’ll know whether you’re going to get ice cream or staying in your marriage because it is true for you, or it’s because you’ve disappeared and you didn’t feel like there was another option. Come back to yourself. All the other stuff becomes easier after. And I think that is how you live a big life. All right, everyone, next week I’m gonna be in Belize at the retreat. I hope you come to the next retreat. We’ll have details on that soon. It’ll be sometime next year, and we will be thinking of you, especially if you reached out and said, “I’m thinking of going,” just know that I’m thinking of you and wish you were there. But next week we’ll have a really great show with Joy and I talking about some things that have been happening with me that pushed me through a portal, a threshold, in my own experience over the past six weeks. All right, I love you guys so much. I’ll see you all next time. Thanks for joining me on The Art of Living Big.

Why You’re Suddenly Noticing Small Signs the Universe Has Your Back Tiny miracles are the small, easy-to-miss moments of grace that show up in an ordinary day. This might include a stranger’s kindness, a found coin, a text that arrives at exactly the right moment. Noticing them changes how supported life feels, even though nothing about your circumstances has actually changed. I didn’t go looking for this. It started with a compliment from a stranger, then a quarter on the ground, then a phone call I’d been hoping for. None of it was earth-shattering on its own. But the moments kept stacking up, one after another, until I couldn’t ignore the pattern anymore. Which made me wonder if these tiny miracles been happening all along, and was I too busy or too in my head to catch them? What Counts as a Tiny Miracle? A tiny miracle is any small moment of unexpected kindness, timing, or connection that feels like more than coincidence. It doesn’t need to be dramatic. Here’s what showed up for me in just a few weeks once I started paying attention: A stranger’s kindness at the grocery store. The produce person complimented my black-and-brown dress, then struck up a whole conversation about her love of neutral colors. Kindness with shopping carts. At one store, a man wheeling his cart toward the entrance handed it to me and went back for another. Days later at Trader Joe’s, a woman did the same thing at the front door. Then, when I finished unloading the cart into my car, an employee took the cart away without a word. I was taken care of from door to door! Found money. I found a quarter in the parking lot when visiting the chiropractor. Finding change always feels a little magical to me. A message from a flower. I was in the garden and felt the nudge to photograph a vine with small purple flowers and yellow stamens. I asked if it had a message for me and heard that it was looking forward to serving the bees. Then bam, a bee landed on the flower right after, so I caught that shot too. An invitation. I’d been wondering when he’d invite my husband and me on our annual boat ride. He called two days later with the invitation. My husband cleaned up the deck. Getting ready for dinner out one evening, I came downstairs to find the outdoor cushions already brought in and the table umbrella closed.  This is something I usually have to ask for. It’s not that he doesn’t take initiative. It’s just never been about the deck. I didn’t win the lottery. No angels showed up. Nothing huge happened. And yet every single one of these tiny miracles made me smile. Why Did These Small Moments Affect Me So Much? Small moments like these affect us because most of us move through the day too fast to allow them to register. We’re checking off errands, replaying conversations, or worrying about what’s next. In the process we miss the majority of the good things happening all around us. Take a minute to ask yourself honestly. Did someone smile at you today? Did someone let you merge in traffic, or did you grab the last package of pre-sliced turkey at the deli counter? Chances are a few of these already happened and slid right past you. It’s not that the Universe decided to start sending me tiny miracles out of nowhere. I think I simply became more present. Once I noticed that first few fortuitous moments, something in me reset to start catching the next one, and the one after that. Is It Magic, Or Is It Your Brain? The reason you start noticing tiny miracles once you look for them is a real neurological function called the reticular activating system, or RAS. This is a network in the brainstem that filters what reaches your conscious awareness based on telling your brain what matters. Humans want to be right, so we set that internal radar to collect evidence for whatever we already believe. Whatever you’re thinking about, you tend to see more of it. It’s the same reason you buy a red car and suddenly notice red cars everywhere. Some call this the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, which is the sense that once you learn something new, it starts showing up constantly. It’s also known as the frequency illusion. What’s actually happening is selective attention. Your brain flags the new thing as important and starts seeing it more frequently. This is also called a cognitive bias. There aren’t more red cars, you just notice them more often. So it seems I’ve set my RAS for tiny miracles, and honestly, it’s been a lot of fun. Am I more supported by the Universe than I was before? Probably not. But I am noticing that I’m supported, and that is creating even more openness. That’s my new bias, and I’m sticking with it. What would shift for you if you felt supported by the Universe and started collecting evidence that it was true? We’re Always Collecting Evidence You always training your brain to notice whatever you expect, whether that expectation serves you or not. Some people wake up already braced for disappointment. They feel people let them down, life is hard, nobody appreciates them, and nothing works out. And their brain will faithfully collect evidence for exactly that, all day long. But you can train your RAS to find positive evidence just as easily. Someone holds the door. A favorite song comes on and you catch yourself singing along. A cashier is unexpectedly friendly. A friend texts at exactly the right moment. String enough of these together and they add up to something real. You shift into a more open, more supported way of moving through your days. My Experiment, and What Changed I didn’t set out to prove anything with this. I never expected the Universe to hand me this many signs in a few short weeks. But by the third or fourth one, I stopped being surprised and started paying attention on purpose. That’s exactly how the RAS is supposed to work. Once I actively looked for tiny miracles, I found more of them. One day last week I realized I’d woken up happy and stayed that way straight through until bedtime. That was new for me. I’m usually quick to spot whatever’s annoying me. Something is shifting. If you’re over 50, you’re likely to notice this kind of thing more than a younger person would, simply because you’ve spent decades reading rooms, situations, and people. Your brain has stopped needing raw data to make sense of a moment and started leaning on pattern, context, and vibe instead. What can feel like sudden intuition can be your brain matching this moment against thousands of moments you’ve already lived. That’s what I mean when I talk about midlife magic . It only comes with the miles, and with those miles comes a deeper appreciation for the little stuff that goes right. What If the Magic Doesn’t Show Up? If you go looking for tiny miracles and nothing shifts, that’s not a sign you’re doing something wrong. More often, it’s a sign something is in the way. Many of us carry a protective heart wall, built from grief, disappointment, or old self-protection. Unfortunately, that can unconsciously block what tiny miracles need to get through, without you ever knowing it’s there. That’s exactly what I’m addressing at a live Heart Wall Releasing event on July 29th, from 10–11:30am ET. It’s a gentle, remarkably effective meditation process. And it’s safe because your own inner wisdom guides the entire experience. The investment is just $22, and I’m keeping the group small — limited to 10 women, with a few spots already claimed. If you’ve been wondering whether a heart wall might be dimming your magic or getting in the way of something you desire, I’d love to guide you through it. Register now to grab your spot. FAQ: Tiny Miracles – How to Start Noticing Yours What is a tiny miracle? A tiny miracle is a small, everyday moment of kindness, timing, or connection — a stranger’s compliment, a found coin, a call that arrives right on cue — that feels like more than chance and leaves you a little lighter. Why am I suddenly noticing more good things happening to me? Once your brain flags something as meaningful, your reticular activating system (RAS) starts surfacing more of it in your awareness. You’re not attracting more good moments; you’re finally catching the ones that were already there. What is the reticular activating system (RAS)? The RAS is a network in the brainstem that filters incoming information and decides what reaches your conscious attention, based largely on what you’ve told it matters. What is the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon? Also called the frequency illusion, it’s the experience of suddenly noticing something everywhere right after you first become aware of it — like seeing red cars everywhere after buying one. What is a heart wall, and how does it relate to noticing magic? A heart wall is a protective barrier around the heart, often built from grief, disappointment, or self-protection, that can block the openness needed to notice tiny miracles or invite in what you desire. Key Takeaways – Where IS the Magic in All This? Tiny miracles aren’t new; they’re likely happening around you already, and most get missed in the rush of a normal day. Your reticular activating system will collect evidence for whatever you focus on, positive or negative, so choosing what to look for actually matters. Noticing one tiny miracle tends to open the door to noticing the next one. If the magic isn’t showing up for you lately, that’s not a personal failing. It may point to a heart wall quietly getting in the way.

Did you know that past trauma can make you react in ways you do not fully understand? Humans have four typical reactions to frightening situations. They are: fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. But God's Word can heal you!In this episode, we talk honestly about trauma responses through a Christian lens without making the conversation mystical, trendy, or anti-biblical. Trauma is not rare, and many people carry the effects of painful experiences into later relationships, conflicts, and fears. Whether your response looks like anger, avoidance, freezing, or fawning, this conversation helps you begin to name what is happening with clarity and compassion.As we examine the four common trauma responses: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. We also look at biblical examples of each. Specifically, Peter, Jonah, Job, and Abraham to see how real people respond to fear, threat, grief, and pressure. Most importantly, this episode points toward hope: healing from trauma happens in the ultimate safe relationship with Jesus.We never need to protect ourselves from Him. And God also uses the body of Christ, trusted pastors, counselors, and safe Christian friends to help us relearn that not everyone is unsafe.If you feel stuck in fear, withdrawal, anger, shutdown, or people-pleasing, this episode is not here to shame you. It is here to help you take one honest next step toward healing, freedom, and deeper trust in God.SUBSCRIBE to our channel / @binmin_org JOIN the NEWSLETTER at https://binmin.org/newsletter/SUPPORT Binmin with a tax-deductible gift HERE - https://binmin.org/donate00:00 Why Your Trauma Response Still Shows Up01:04 What Trauma Does to Your Sense of Safety01:40 What Are Trauma Responses?02:41 Is Talking About Trauma Biblical?03:35 Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn03:42 Fight: When You React with Force05:01 Flight: When You Run from Pain06:18 Freeze: When You Shut Down07:42 Fawn: When People-Pleasing Feels Safe09:56 What Do We Do with These Patterns?10:14 Healing Happens in Safe Relationships11:32 God Is the Ultimate Safe Relationship12:44 Healing in the Body of Christ13:39 How to Recognize a Safe Person14:42 Your Next Step Toward Healing15:57 Subscribe and Find Your Next StepJOIN the⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ NEWSLETTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Your energy is the most precious commodity in the universe. Your life force defines how you navigate this third-dimensional plane. Therefore, deciding to play life's energy roulette wisely is of utmost importance. We've been misled into believing that time, money, power, and control are the key ingredients to shaping our physical reality. Once you step aside the treadmill, you know, you've bought into the crunchy illusion of a world limited by your perception. Whether Earth is a ‘Waiting Room', a battlefield, or a mere chaotic place where humans try to figure out who they are and what their purpose is, your level of energy will have a direct effect on how you move on life's chessboard. Feeling drained and lacking the energy to get out of bed, play with your children, build a business, pursue your hobbies, or go after your dreams is anything but healthy. And when we ‘normalize' this state and call it ‘OK,' we're doing ourselves, the people we love, and our communities a huge disservice. Humans are not zombies. We are powerful, energetic beings, equipped with a plethora of talents and gifts. We are here to create and use our unique blueprints to protect this beautiful planet. When the Jedi Doesn't Succumb to An Insane Society Lost. Glued to a screen. Wondering shoeless-clueless. Lacking self-worth. Expecting answers from a silicon machine. This is definitely not who we are, nor why we're here. You see, when your energy is high, you are unstoppable. You chase your dreams relentlessly. You love and serve your brothers and sisters unselfishly. Furthermore, you enjoy life by living fully in the present moment and experiencing bliss. This translates into: Taking care of your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual body. Nourishing your sacred temple, aka your body, with clean food and water. Exercising regularly to strengthen your energetic field. Getting good-quality sleep to recharge your batteries fully. Finding inner peace by bathing in stillness. Turning inwards to allow intuition, aka that deep knowing, to reveal the blind spots and what your eyes can't see. Remembering to breathe deeply and release energy blockages. Is this place a maze? A highly sophisticated labyrinth? Is energy being harvested? It's a possibility. However, that doesn't make you a less powerful player or a Jedi to reckon with. Master Your Energy. Build. Create. Live Passionately. Nobody is coming to save you. You are the one you've been waiting for. The sooner this gets into your head, the better. Reclaim your freedom and sovereignty in a world gone crazy. Step up your game. Sit down and define specifically what it is you want to achieve, accomplish, and build. You're here to create. Stop giving your power away. Stop asking for permission to deploy your talents, skills, and knowledge. Stop looking for outside factors and validators to fill your perceived vacuum of self-worth, self-confidence, and self-respect. You're not broken despite the many times you've been tricked into believing you are. Go inwards. Drop into your heart. Know that you are a miracle. Now, get off your ass, Jedi, and show yourself what you've got. Krisz Rokk Original content without using AI.

July 15, 2026: Andreessen Horowitz's argues that AI is not simply replacing workers, it is turning every worker into a manager of agents. Then I get into Bank of America's claim that AI is already showing ROI in its earnings, and why I'm skeptical of how much of that efficiency gain can really be attributed to AI. Finally, I look at OpenAI's first physical device, a screen-free AI companion reportedly designed to feel alive, and why that matters for the future of work.

It's the official policy of the U.S. government to work toward putting people on Mars. Debates about that usually focus on cost and national priorities. Less considered is what life on Mars would do to the people who go there. That, however, is the subject of a new book by scientist Scott Solomon. It's called Becoming Martian: How Living in Space Will Change Our Bodies and Minds. Solomon was raised in Champaign, attended University High in Urbana, and earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

This week on Better Buildings for Humans, host Joe Menchefski welcomes Alana Pinckley, Chief Engagement Officer of the American Coalition for Educational Environments (ACE) and host of the Empowered K-12 Podcast, for an insightful conversation about the critical connection between school facilities, student wellbeing, and the future of educational environments. Drawing on her unique journey from information technology into K-12 advocacy, Alana shares how her passion for healthier schools has led her to connect educators, facility leaders, researchers, and industry partners around a common mission: creating learning environments where every student and educator can thrive.The discussion explores everything from indoor air quality, natural daylight, school safety, and trauma-informed design to deferred maintenance, carbon reduction, and the growing importance of designing schools around both human health and long-term sustainability. Alana explains why healthy buildings should never require a tradeoff between environmental performance and student wellbeing, how research can be translated into practical decisions for school districts, and why collaboration across educators, architects, facility managers, and industry partners is essential for meaningful progress.The conversation also examines emerging trends shaping the next generation of schools, including community-centered campuses, biophilic design, neurodiversity, mental wellness, and the evolving role schools play as neighborhood hubs. Along the way, Alana shares the inspiration behind the Empowered K-12 Podcast, reflects on the remarkable stories of resilience she has heard from education leaders across the country, and explains why giving a voice to the people responsible for our learning environments may be one of the most important steps toward building healthier, safer, and more resilient schools for future generations.More About Alana Pinckley Alana Pinckley is the National Growth and PreK–12 Partnerships Officer at the American Coalition for Educational Environments and the creator of EmpoweredK12, a podcast centered around mental health and school safety.

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In Ear Insights, let’s talk about AI productivity and results-oriented mindsets. We talk a lot about AI productivity gains, and a lot of people are rightfully asking, “Where’s the beef?” Going back to the 1980s Wendy’s commercial. I want to show you a chart. Katie, I want to get your reaction to this chart on some AI productivity gains and whether you would consider this a success or not. So let me bring this chart up here. This is from Brown University. We have individual workers, we have their original productivity scores in the gray, their AI-enhanced scores where they’re using an AI tool and how they increased. And the green numbers represent the percent change. Now, without any other context, at a first glance, what do you make of this? Is this an AI success story? Katie Robbert: Not necessarily. Christopher S. Penn: Okay, tell me why. Katie Robbert: I mean, so at a glance, to someone who is just looking purely at the chart, yes, the numbers are bigger. You have a bunch of green in the middle. So the percent change is positive. But as someone who is skeptical, I say, where did you start? What was the baseline? What are the roles? I have more questions than answers. I can’t look at this and go, wow, yes. Okay. Because to me there’s so much missing context. Who are these people? Is it self-report? What is the period of time that there? Is it one task? Is it multiple tasks? Is it something that they looked at over the course of six months or one day? I don’t know. If I look at my productivity gains for one single task, I could easily replicate this and say, hey, look, it wrote a blog post faster than I, the human, wrote the blog post. So therefore productivity gains. But what I don’t know is the blog post any good? How much editing does it have to go through? Is it something that’s actually ever going to see the light of day? And that’s one blog post. That doesn’t mean that every single post is created that efficiently. AI can create things really quickly. It doesn’t mean they’re any good. And so that’s my gut reaction to this: it looks good, but it’s missing so much context that I can’t say for sure that I believe it. Christopher S. Penn: Okay, I can tell you for sure these are actual scores. They are actual gains or losses. If your employee number S22 is there, you got it. Your performance went down. Katie Robbert: Yeah, yikes. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, you got to go. But, and these are real outcomes that matter. Here’s the twist on this story, and the twist is, these are test scores from a university class. The midterm. The professor said, something’s up. The orange scores of the midterm scores. So in the final, he prohibited it. He made the test in person. No assistance, no devices. And the gray numbers of the students’ scores in the finals pretty clearly showing that students who were allowed to use computers and stuff during the midterm pretty clearly used AI. And this story has been floating around the social media sphere. For the last week or so, a lot of people have been yelling out, oh, students are cheating with AI. This is terrible. It’s the end of education. And my take on it was, well, I think there’s a bit more nuance to that. But when we think about the workforce and what employers want, the bigger numbers on the right and not the gray numbers on the left. Now, with this new context, what do you think? Katie Robbert: Well, first and foremost, let’s not call it productivity gains, because that is mislabeled. Second, I’m with you, Chris. The notion of an open book test is not new. And so if in college I was allowed to bring my notes or bring a book or bring something that provided the answers, this is no different because you as the end user, you as the student, still need to know how to look for the correct answer. Because AI hallucinates a lot. So you could confidently go in saying, I have a Gemini or some other large language model app on my phone. I can just look up all the answers. Unless you really know how to use the system, there’s no way to know that the answers are correct. And so I feel like it is nuanced. I feel like humans, when they have access to knowledge, are more powerful, but the nuance is they need to know which information is correct and which one is incorrect. So, I agree. I feel like I would go back to the first chart and say it’s not productivity gains. That is 100% misleading. That is not at all what this is. Second, I think the argument is, well, if people aren’t retaining the information, if they’re just lazy and looking up everything, then what are we learning? Well, you’re learning critical thinking and how to research things. That in and of itself is a whole skill set. Ask the academics. There’s a place for it. Christopher S. Penn: Yep. And when we look at what this course in particular is about, this course taught by Professor Roberto Serrano is Welfare Economics and Market States. But this is from the syllabus. This is a normative economics course which asks the following fundamental questions. Are markets good or bad for the economy? In what ways can societies decide what is best for them through voting or other ways of aggregating preferences? Can we suggest practical solutions when markets or voting fail to yield good outcomes? Are there current political economic institutions good for society? Are they or not? In what ways? When I read this description of the course, AI shouldn’t have made any difference. Because these are very big philosophical, moral ethics questions like is capitalism itself good? Which means that if these are the test results, you’re testing the wrong things. Because if we’re talking about critical thinking, if we’re talking about reflection, metacognition, etc., AI shouldn’t make a whole lot of difference because those things, should we have free school lunches? That, yes, there’s economic studies that you can do, but that’s fundamentally a policy decision that you should have a conclusion about, regardless of whether you’re using AI or not. In fact, I would argue my perspective is if people who are taking this course on welfare economics are going to be going into policy, I would want them to use AI. I would want them to gather research. I would want them to have it push back and forth. Now, whether or not they were actually doing that, I don’t know. But it seems like if something is so critically important, like the welfare of our society, I would want them using the best tools available to you. Katie Robbert: So it’s interesting, it strikes me. I don’t disagree with you. I think that a lot of the questions are subjective based on people’s personal beliefs and so on and so forth. My sense then is if the question was should schools offer free lunch? Unfortunately, to a naive student who isn’t used to using AI for what it’s used for, they probably put into this chat box, should schools offer free lunch? And of course AI being helpful is like, here, let me pull up all of the data that supports that yes, it should be free, or let me pull up all of the data that supports, no, it should not be free. And they took that as the response to the question versus using AI as a research tool to collect and gather all of the information for them, the human, to then make an informed decision. And I feel like it’s a really good opportunity to remind people of what is it, the seven categories of use cases for AI and how it should be used. Like, don’t use AI to make a decision. You’re the human, you make the decision. Use AI to gather your information. Summarize. I’m not going to remember all seven off the top of my head. Yeah, I was like, I got summarize, I got rewriting. That’s all I have for abstraction. Christopher S. Penn: Take data out of data classification. Organize your data summarization. Take your big data and make it small. Rewriting. Take your data from one form to another. Synthesis. Take a small data and make it big. Question answering. Ask questions of your data and generation. Make new data from your data. Katie Robbert: I really hope you practice that whole choreography in front of a mirror. Christopher S. Penn: Well, I do that in my talks. Katie Robbert: I know, but I think that. And so thank you for that. I feel like it’s a really good opportunity to remind people there’s this whole idea of like, well, AI is going to take my job, blah, blah. You, the human, still need to have those critical thinking skills. I feel like I’m beyond a broken record at this point. I don’t even know what the next phase of broken. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, it’s just like, record glitter everywhere because it’s so broken. Katie Robbert: That’s a thing. The test example is a really good example of misuse of AI. Like we’re making a bunch of assumptions. We don’t know how students actually use these tools. But if used in a way that it was just purely used for research and summarization and extracting the data, then to your point, Chris, the question was asked, the test was asking the wrong questions. Because how are you going to grade based on subjective questions? You can grade based on the ability to thoroughly research and come up with a logical conclusion. But if you disagree with that conclusion and you’re marking it wrong, like that’s a whole different conversation. Christopher S. Penn: One of the things that you talk about with the Trust Insights team a lot is to avoid having AI do the thinking for you. You talk about this with our marketing reports and things like that. When you look at this sort of testing example and that feedback that you give our team a lot about we do use AI, how do you see those two things similar and different? Katie Robbert: I don’t have a problem with people using AI. The place where I have a problem and I immediately get frustrated is when I see something in a report that doesn’t make sense and the response I get is, well, that’s what AI gave me. And my first thought is, well, where are you in this? Where’s your thinking? Where’s your brain? I want to know your insights, Chris. I want to know your insights. Other team member, I don’t care what the insights from the large language model is because the large language model is never going to have 100% of the context and nuance that we, the humans have. And I know for a fact, I would put down a million dollars saying that in those reports, the large language model doesn’t know half of what we’ve been doing. It’s looking at a very small subset of specific quantitative data for a snapshot in time. It does not have the whole story. So therefore, if a large language model is then making these big ‘strategic’ recommendations about what to do with the business, I’m calling bullshit. Christopher S. Penn: Yep. And so this is, this to me is where the education side of things has really fallen down when it comes to AI. Is it binary, oh, yes, you should use it, or no, you shouldn’t use it? And it’s academic dishonesty if you’re using it’s a tool. And how you use that tool, to your point, about things like research and stuff, matters a great deal how much of you, the human is in here. Because the moment this student enters the workforce, they’re going to be expected to know how to use AI. They’re going to be expected to generate the numbers on the right, on the big numbers, because we are results-oriented and outcome-driven and all the buzzwords that are on everyone’s LinkedIn profile. But that’s in a lot of ways that’s true. That’s what we hire for. We hire for those big numbers. We don’t hire. We don’t necessarily. And ethics is a whole separate discussion. But putting aside ethics, that’s what leaders want. That’s what managers want. Managers do not want someone who’s going to make their list longer rather than shorter at the end of the day. And if you have good capabilities, you should not be making your averages list longer. Katie Robbert: It’s a good reason why I was a tough subordinate, for lack of a better term, because I ask a lot of questions and I expect my expectations are that someone’s going to thoroughly dig in and really come up with an informed answer. And my managers at the time were not doing that. Maybe it’s my expectations. I have a really hard time with the lightweight. Oh, I just looked at one study. So therefore it’s fine. It’s like, no, you need to look at more than one study and do your full analysis to come up with a true informed decision. Emphasis on informed, making decisions. What is it? Decisions without data is distraction. Christopher S. Penn: Data without decisions is distraction. Katie Robbert: Data without decisions. But I also feel like decisions without data is dangerous. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, absolutely. So here’s two examples. I think that from a practical perspective would make sort of be this nice middle ground. Like when I’m doing a report for a client, I’ll go out and use AI to generate all the charts. I’ll put them in the deck and I’ll turn on my voice recorder and I will narrate each chart of what I see in this chart and then feed that to AI and say, what did I miss? Or what didn’t I see? And usually it doesn’t come up with anything. It will ask me questions. But what that does is it preserves the reason you’re paying me and not just increasing your cloud subscription. That’s one useful use case. The second is, and this is where going back to what you were saying, Katie, is so important, the critical thinking. Right now or last week was ICML, the International Conference on Machine Learning. It was in Seoul, South Korea. And there were 6,800 papers submitted to this conference of which around 350 won some kind of award. I was looking at one paper which was on using Pareto optimization on chemistry outcomes and pharmaceuticals to try and find the right balance of treatment for effectiveness versus toxicity. And when I read this paper, that’s a really cool idea. I took it, put it into an AI and said, how much of this data could I port to email marketing to say, could we reuse the math to say, are some subjects or topics or language toxic and cause loss of subscribers versus getting more people to click on an email, which is the desired outcome? And it gave me a whole long list of things that I’m still working on. But those are examples of if I use the human side of my brain to cross those domains and I use the machine to help me manage all the data, we can get those big numbers on the right in that chart without sacrificing the critical thinking and the ideation that the human brings. Katie Robbert: I’m going to say something that I say a lot. New tech doesn’t solve old problems. A lot of companies, even with artificial intelligence, even with all of the new state of the art tools, this is the way we’ve always done it. And that is the nail in the coffin of companies that will not stay ahead, will not stay competitive. Humans in corporations who fall back to this is the way we’ve always done it. Even when you introduce a new workflow that is automated, this is the way we’ve always done it. That workflow is going to get stale real fast. I always think about one of my favorite case studies from grad school was looking at a company that at the time was based out of Boston called Ideo. Ideo. And their whole mission was to understand human behavior. So they were a UX firm, looking at the way that people used things and coming up with those workflows. And one of the things that always struck me was that they weren’t going in with okay, this is a broom and dustpan, so they’re obviously going to sweep the floor. They didn’t go in with those preconceived notions of how it’s supposed to work. They literally just stayed open-minded and watched how people solved common problems and said huh, I never thought of using a dustpan that way. That’s really interesting. What else can it do? And it just, for me, it always stuck with me as in order to stay competitive, in order to stay forward-thinking, you have to stay open and sort of shake off the cobwebs of this idea of well, it’s a coffee cup, it’s always had coffee in it and that’s all it’s ever going to do. It has to be, oh, this is a coffee cup. Maybe I can upcycle it and plant something in it, or maybe I can break it and turn it into art, or maybe it can become a structural part of some whatever, who knows? I don’t even know. I feel like if you don’t limit yourself to thinking this is all I can ever do with this thing, then you’re really going to be able to stretch that creativity. But that critical thinking. So back to the initial example of the students taking the test. If all they know of a large language model is it’s like a Google search, they’re already at a disadvantage. Christopher S. Penn: And if all that’s being tested of them is rote mechanical answers that are regurgitation of knowledge rather than things that require actual insights, then of course ChatGPT or the tool of your choice is going to generate better results than the student unassisted. But you’re not testing the skills that the modern workforce needs. You are testing the skills that the 1930s needed, right? You need to be an obedient factory worker to come in and make widgets. We have robots for that now. We do not need humans for that. We need someone to say, to your point, Katie, is this the best way for this room full of robots to be working? Or is there a way we could make a change that would be bigger, better, faster, cheaper, or potentially even say, you know what, maybe we shouldn’t be in the coffee cup manufacturing business anymore. Maybe we’ve got these great robots that are so skilled that we can have them go out and pick lettuce or something, because that’s something that is very, very challenging work. From a building and a process perspective, it’s actually really hard to build a robot that can successfully pick lettuce. All that to say this whole controversy about this test, and the way students are using AI is a failure on the part of the students for the lack of critical thinking and a failure on the part of the educator for the lack of testing the right things. Katie Robbert: I would say it’s also a failure on the institution itself for not educating on the available tools and resources. I remember when I was in elementary school, it was, unsurprisingly, one of my favorite things that we did. There was a whole class on how to use the card catalog at the library. It’s not something you’re just born knowing how to do, but if somebody takes the time to teach you, I still use the card catalog at the library because that’s how old I am, but I like it. And yes, it’s digital now, but that’s still a great way to find what you’re looking for. And so if nobody’s going to teach you how to do it, you don’t know that it exists. If you’re someone who’s curious enough to find out on your own, that’s great. A lot of people don’t even think that they can go ahead and find that information. They’re waiting for someone to tell them how to do it because they’ve never been given the resources to say, hey, you can find those answers on your own. You can teach yourself. Some people just, that’s not just how their brain functions. It’s not a weakness or a bad thing. It just is what it is. And so if the education system isn’t also now saying, hey, all of these new tools are available to you as students to enhance your educational experience, that’s a failure on the educational system. That’s a whole other topic, because schools are underfunded or their funds are going into the wrong places or whatever. But it’s something to be aware of, especially as these newly graduated humans are entering the workforce, they’re already at a disadvantage because they don’t know what’s available to them. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah. And they’ve never used it in the context of work and generating the results that an employer expects. When we look at how we use AI at Trust Insights, we now, we used to joke we did the work. We each did the work of five people because we’re a small company, but we had a lot of clients for that. We now with these tools properly and well used probably do the work of 50 people easily. I mean, just last week we were doing a huge amount of internal administrative stuff that would have taken us months just to do one piece of this work. And, we were doing 18, 19 pieces. Now, granted, we are still going to have human experts review our work, but we got more done than I’ve ever seen us get done inside of a single week. Katie Robbert: I would agree with that. I mean, this is the whole. I’ve talked about it on live events. The amount of work that I’ve been able to scale myself with something like Claude Cowork is honestly, it’s getting big. That’s an understatement. Christopher S. Penn: I don’t know. Katie Robbert: I don’t have a better word for it, but. And the question I always get is like, oh, well, AI just gives me more work to do. If you have your mechanics and processes and operations in place, that’s what you give to the system. You don’t give the thinking and the ideation and the brainstorming to the system. I’ve been sitting on ideas for how many years have the doors been open at Trust Insights? Christopher S. Penn: 8. Katie Robbert: I’ve been sitting on things that I want to do. Ideas. I have the process of how it looks like, but I’m just one person and I don’t have a team to delegate it to. So now that’s how we’re scaling things. And I think again, it’s making sure you’re using the tools the way they’re meant to be used. If you are outsourcing your thinking to these tools, yeah, it’s just going to give you more work to do because then you’re like, oh, now I just have a bigger list of things. No, give the list of things that you’ve already thought of to the system. Let the system do it. You continue to create and ideate. Christopher S. Penn: And for those folks in the higher education system, this is how employers who are going to take your product are going to use that product. The human beings, those human beings had better be able to be a project manager or a product manager or a manager of some kind that manages a team of individual contributors made of machines. Because we’re paying for, we want to pay for the critical thinking. We want to pay for the genuinely good new ideas. We do not need to pay for someone that just regurgitates things. A machine can do that perfectly fine. We do not need to pay for somebody that can type. Again, a machine can do that perfectly fine. We need people who think. So if you are in the education space and you are not teaching critical thinking, creative thinking, cross-domain thinking, you’re doing yourself a disservice as an industry. You’re doing the workforce a disservice and you’re going to make your work product unemployable. Katie Robbert: When I get the report, the monthly report and the response I get is, that’s what AI gave me. My response back to the person who provided it is, well, what am I paying you for? And it’s a really cold and harsh comment, but it’s real true. It’s true. Perhaps my delivery is not that direct all the time, but sometimes it is. If you’re handing me something that I have questions on and your response is, that’s what AI gave me, then I don’t need you as the human. I can do this myself and get crappy insights from a large language model. I don’t need someone to push a button for me. Christopher S. Penn: Right, exactly.

Sanjeev Krishnan spent thirty years arriving at one conclusion: the clean economy's binding constraint isn't technology, it's capital structure. He watched brilliant technologies, brilliant people and brilliant visions get broken on the wheel of misaligned capital — not because the science failed, but because the financing never fit what they were trying to build.That gap is the heart of this episode of SRI360. His core belief is simple: the thing holding back the clean economy is not technology. It is capital structure. Get the financing right, and the building can follow.I'm joined by Sanjeev Krishnan, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of S2G Investments, a nearly $3 billion platform across eight funds, investing at the seams of food, energy, and ocean systems. S2G has backed more than 120 companies. Sanjeev has spent his whole career on one question: how do you change an economic system using markets?Sanjeev was born in Bangalore in pre-liberalization India and moved to Grosse Pointe, Michigan, at age nine — his first time ever on a plane. He studied development economics, transferred to the London School of Economics, and joined JPMorgan just in time to watch the dot-com boom collapse from the inside. His team in Europe went from 120 people to 15. He was one of the 15 who kept their job.What came next taught him how capital really works in the physical world: building mobile networks across Africa, cutting the cost of a Hepatitis B vaccine by roughly 80–90% at the World Bank's IFC, and five hard years inside “clean tech 1.0,” watching good companies fail for reasons that had nothing to do with their technology. In 2014, he co-founded S2G with Lukas Walton.Today Sanjeev invests at the seams — the gaps between asset classes and between sectors that most investors overlook. In this conversation we cover why capital structure is the real constraint, how he thinks about the wave of AI and energy demand, and why he is betting on the oceans, the part of the planet we have barely measured.In this episode we discuss:Why capital structure, not technology, is what really holds back the clean economyThe “missing middle” — too big for venture, too small for private equity, and where good companies get strandedWhat “investing at the seams” of food, energy, and ocean systems actually meansFit-for-purpose capital, and why biotech figured it out but climate has notThe five forces behind his “Age of Adaptation” thesisWhy he reframes climate as a 10,000-year economic megatrend, not a moral crusadeHis bet on the oceans, and the company measuring water almost no one else canFeatured guest:Sanjeev Krishnan, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at S2G InvestmentsListen Next:AgTech Profits Meet Planet: Where Climate Impact and VC Returns AlignDiscover More from SRI360°:Explore all episodes of the SRI360° PodcastSign up for the free weekly email updateKey Takeaways:Capital structure is the constraint, not technology. Across thirty years, Sanjeev watched good companies with real products fail because the money backing them was shaped wrong for what they were building.The missing middle is where good companies get stranded. A business with real revenue and real profits can still be too capital-intensive for venture and too small for private equity control. Venture wants a power law. These companies just grow steadily. So nobody funds them. In May, S2G closed a billion-dollar fund built for exactly this gap.Fit-for-purpose capital means matching the money to the reality. US biotech built a system that can take an unproven, clinical-stage company public and attract hundreds of millions. Climate has never built its equivalent. That, Sanjeev argues, is the real gap.Every great transition needed a financial invention first. The joint stock company made oceanic trade possible. Bond syndicates built the railroads. The venture partnership funded the microchip. In each case someone built the financial container before the future arrived.Impact does not have to be concessionary. At the IFC, his team helped cut the cost of a Hepatitis B vaccine by roughly 80–90% — from $2.50 a vial — while margins stayed above 60–70%. Cheaper, faster, better, and profitable at the same time.Invest at the seams. The best opportunities sit between asset classes and between sectors, where a typical energy investor would dismiss it and a food investor would call it something else — so nobody underwrites it.Climate is a 10,000-year economic megatrend, not a moral crusade. Humans take useful energy and turn it into useful materials — fire, agriculture, fossil fuels. And the next chapter will still be extractive: it needs copper, cobalt, nickel, lithium.Busts are where the returns are made. You learn more in the bust cycles than the boom cycles. Markets overshoot both ways, and the companies that survive get forced into product-market fit and a real P&L.The oceans are the least measured part of the planet. We know more about space. Sanjeev co-founded Apeiron Labs in 2022 to close a data gap between 6 and 200 meters — data that matters for weather, offshore wind, insurance, and defense.Additional ResourcesSanjeev Krishnan LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanjeev-krishnan-0b1148/Sanjeev Krishnan at S2G: https://www.s2ginvestments.com/team/sanjeev-krishnanS2G Investments: https://www.s2ginvestments.com/S2G “Financing Reality” report: https://www.s2ginvestments.com/insights/report-financing-realityBuilders Vision: https://www.buildersvision.com/Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email update: https://sri360.com/newsletter/Visit the SRI360° PODCAST: https://sri360.com/podcast/Visit the SRI360° WEBSITE: https://sri360.com/Follow SRI360° on X: https://twitter.com/SRI360Growth/Follow SRI360° on FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/SRI360Growth/

As AI systems start acting on their own, the hardest security problem is no longer approving what a model outputs but governing the conditions under which it is allowed to act at all. Michael Chavira, co-founder of Axiologic Solutions, argues that most organizations confuse governance with security, writing policies and standing up AI councils that describe intent while leaving the enforcement layer, where a model actually touches data, underbuilt. His answer is to move humans out of the approve-every-action role and onto the loop, where they define the boundaries an agentic system runs inside and watch for it to step out.  That control is only as good as the data underneath it, and for most enterprises, the data is a weak point. Chavira makes the case that AI security is ultimately data security, since a model is only as trustworthy as the data feeding it, and he walks through why shadow AI, unlabeled data and untracked workarounds quietly undermine even well-governed systems. For tools that answer the same question differently each time, he recommends harness engineering and continuous data operations as the way to secure the system rather than chase every output.

Your cybersecurity tools were built for people: a login, a single sign-on, an email address. But the AI agents now showing up inside your company don't work that way, and most of them slip right past your controls. So how do you find the "Shadow AI" already running in your business, and get a handle on it? Let's find out with our guest Nancy Wang, Chief Technology Officer at 1Password, who works at the front edge of how machines get access to systems.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we reflect on our just finished season three of Tea Leaves, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Tea Leaves is a series where we make our version of the Harry Potter TV show, episode by episode. Next week will begin season 4, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      2:03 We are entering the “Dark Hogwarts” era. The first three seasons feel like the introduction to the wizarding world and setting up the conflict. The fourth season represents the beginning of the true conflict of the story.·      12:00 The best moments are the most personal, and we should see a lot of those. Harry's past is going to come alive before our very eyes this season. We are going to see a much darker current emerge in the story, and that kind of story demands a different kind of storytelling. Humans are empaths so we should be able to feel what Harry is feeling.·      18:38 Malfoy follows the pattern of the story to a tee. He is something of a static bully for the first three books, but the moment the fourth book begins he becomes something more. Malfoy's journey as a Death Eater defines his arc and reflects the greater conflict, and the Goblet of Fire is the kicking off point of his journey.·      24:54 Complexity. Characters like Neville have just as complicated a past as Harry, and now that the first three seasons are over, we can dive into their characters more deeply. ·      30:14 This is getting real. That's what we've been dancing around this whole episode. Now is the time; it's finally beginning. Voldemort is on the rise, and Harry must rise to meet him. ThePotterDiscussion@gmail.comthepotterdiscussion.comNox

Should your child get a neuropsychological evaluation? Neuropsychologist Dr. Joanna Jacobs explains what it reveals, who needs one, and why it's not scary. If you've ever been told your child might need a neuropsychological evaluation and felt your stomach drop, this episode is for you. Dr. Aliza Pressman sits down with neuropsychologist Dr. Joanna Jacobs to demystify what a neuro psych evaluation actually is, what it can tell you about your child's learning profile, and why so many parents leave the process feeling relieved rather than devastated. Whether your child is struggling with reading, attention, executive functioning, or social communication — or whether they seem fine on paper but something feels off at home — this conversation will help you understand what the evaluation process looks like, what questions to ask, and how to make sense of what you find out. What you'll learn: What a neuropsychological evaluation actually measures and who it's designed for  Why a diagnosis is a tool for accessing support, not a life sentence — and how to talk about it with your child at any age The critical difference between cognitive profile and disorder How neurodivergent brains, including those with dyslexia and ADHD, carry genuine strengths that language-based school systems frequently fail to identify or nurture This episode is brought to you by: OneSkin: Unlock your healthiest skin now and as you age.

Everybody sleeps...but did you know fish do, too? In this hilarious episode of Wow in the World, Mindy and Guy Raz dive into an incredible new scientific discovery that's changing the way we think about sleep beneath the surface. From talking goldfish to underwater sleep spas, this bedtime adventure is full of surprising science, sleepy silliness, and one very cranky Guy Raz!After yet another sleepless night thanks to Mindy's late-night TV marathons, Guy is desperate for some peace and quiet. But instead of turning the volume down, Mindy comes up with the perfect solution: squeeze Guy into a giant goldfish costume and check him into the luxurious Sand Dollar Sleep Retreat & Spa!What begins as Guy's quest for a good night's sleep quickly becomes an unforgettable journey into the science of how fish sleep. Along the way, Mindy and Guy discover that fish don't just sleep—they sleep in surprisingly human-like ways! Kids and families will explore groundbreaking research from scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, who used a self-tracking microscope and camera system to follow zebrafish around the clock. Their discoveries revealed that zebrafish—or should we say “Zzzebrafish”—experience four different stages of sleep, complete with changing eye movements, shifting brain activity, and even short daytime naps. The crew also learns why fish sleep with their eyes open, how transparent baby zebrafish helped scientists peek inside sleeping brains, and why dolphins sleep with only half their brains at a time.Packed with laugh-out-loud moments, underwater adventures, fascinating neuroscience, animal behavior, and one unforgettable sleepover gone completely bonkerballs, this episode proves that whether you live on land or under the sea, a good night's sleep is one of nature's greatest superpowers.✨ Don't miss the chance to explore even further with Wow in the World:Grownups can visit tinkercast.com/join-twaaw to join the World Organization of Wowzers (WOW) and unlock exclusive activities, birthday cards, quarterly mailings, first dibs at events, and a welcome kit with an autographed photo of Mindy & Guy Raz!
