What does six hundred sixty-six mean? In Revelation 13, the Apostle John warns of a coming Beast whose number is 666 — a symbol that has stirred fear, debate, and speculation for centuries. In this episode, we open the pages of Revelation to uncover its meaning and why it matters more than ever today. We only thought it was fitting that for our 666th Episode, we cover this topic. #666 #NumberOfTheBeast #Revelation13 #EndTimes #BibleProphecy #Antichrist #Apocalypse #MarkOfTheBeast #Christianity #BiblicalNumbers #Prophecy #RevelationStudy #SpiritualWarfare #LastDays #Symbolism #BookOfRevelation #Faith #ChristianPodcast #BibleTruth

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

He instructs her to gather empty jars and pour her small amount of oil into them. Miraculously, the oil keeps flowing until all the jars are full, providing enough to pay her debts and sustain her family.The Shunammite Woman's Son (vv. 8–37):A wealthy woman provides hospitality to Elisha, building him a room. As a blessing, Elisha tells her she will have a son. Years later, the boy dies suddenly. The woman seeks Elisha, who goes to her home, prays, and stretches himself upon the boy, reviving him from death.The Deadly Stew (vv. 38–41):During a famine, Elisha's followers unknowingly cook a poisonous stew. Elisha miraculously purifies it with flour, making it safe to eat.Feeding a Hundred (vv. 42–44):A man brings Elisha 20 loaves of barley bread.

In the seventh episode of The Hundred Year Pivot, Demetri Kofinas and I are joined by renowned financial historian Edward Chancellor for a sweeping conversation on the century-long evolution of money and interest rates. Our discussion traces the abandonment of gold-backed currency, the rise of fiat money, and the resulting waves of speculation, monetary intervention, and economic distortion. Eddie examines how decades of artificially low rates fueled bubbles and imbalances that are now unwinding, reshaping industries from real estate to renewable energy. Together, we explore the political and societal consequences of ‘mispriced' money, mounting deficits, and wealth inequality—and consider whether the world is nearing a return to sounder forms of money, albeit through a turbulent and uncertain path.
