Mike McCastle smashed David Goggins' pullup record by doing 5,804 pull-ups in 24 hours while wearing a 30-pound backpack... and pulled an F-150 pickup truck 22 miles through Death Valley... and flipped a 250 lb tire for 13 miles... and climbed a rope for the equivalent distance of Mount Everest... and has trained MMA fighters, alpinists, and extreme adventurers like Colin O'Brady, the first man to cross Antarctica solo and unsupported.   As such, he's the perfect person to kick off our 4-part series on hybrid training, where we'll delve into the art and science of maximising strength AND endurance at the same time. Some key areas covered include: - How hybrid training is about giving yourself options - Why strength training builds durability in joints and tendons - How to achieve your goals by reverse engineering the outcome - How to build mental toughness through conscious choices - Exactly how training should be tailored to individual needs and goals - Why recovery is crucial for optimal performance. - How to include skill development within your sport into your training phases - The methods Mike has used to create chaos in training to prepare for unpredictability - How training often and testing rarely is key to success.

Despite lousy headlines—tariffs, weak earnings, flat revenues—the market keeps climbing. Don and Tom explain why trying to guess the “why” behind short-term moves is a fool's errand, and why global diversification (including those long-shunned international small caps) is paying off. Listeners call in with smart, complex questions: million-dollar leftover 529s, the viability of the Hagerty Index for collectibles, catastrophic long-term care insurance, and a 401(k) loan vs. credit union loan for home repairs.

“We're not here with a silver bullet. We're here to help teams start with visibility—because you can't manage what you can't see.” — Steve Petracek, Auvik In this special Technology Reseller News podcast recorded live from the inaugural Podcast Row at ChannelCon 2025 in Nashville, Doug Green sits down with Steve Petracek of Auvik to discuss the mounting challenges facing IT teams in an increasingly hybrid and remote working environment. Petracek, a leader at Auvik—an IT operations management platform—delivers fresh insight from the company's latest IT Trends Report. According to Petracek, 87% of MSPs today are managing at least some portion of a remote workforce, but most lack the tools to adequately address the growing risks around visibility, Shadow IT, Shadow AI, and workforce productivity. This mismatch is leading to inefficiencies and, increasingly, burnout among IT professionals. “The traditional tools built for the office don't cut it anymore,” Petracek explains. “IT teams are stitching together a dozen tools just to support a single user working remotely. That's where the stress comes in.” Petracek emphasizes that the first step in solving these challenges is visibility—not just into the network and infrastructure, but into the user's entire digital ecosystem, from sanctioned SaaS apps to unsanctioned AI tools. Auvik's platform aims to bring all of that into focus, giving IT teams one place to manage, secure, and optimize performance across environments. Key trends discussed in the podcast include: The rise of Shadow AI and its unmanaged introduction into IT ecosystems The compounding effect of tool sprawl on stress and burnout The need for automation and tool consolidation to restore efficiency Auvik's visibility-first approach to tackling modern IT operations Petracek's message to MSPs at ChannelCon was clear: hybrid work isn't a passing trend, and managing it effectively means embracing a new toolset, reducing complexity, and automating wherever possible. To dive deeper into Auvik's findings and learn how your team can better manage hybrid infrastructure, download the free IT Trends Report at https://www.auvik.com. This podcast was recorded live at ChannelCon 2025 at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville, as part of Technology Reseller News' coverage of emerging technologies and trends shaping the MSP and IT services landscape.

Biophilic design is not just an aesthetic choice, but a critical evolution in workplace design. As work becomes increasingly digital and flexible, the traditional office is transforming into a dynamic, nature-integrated environment. We speak with Jeremy Myerson, design writer and Professor Emeritus in the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design at the Royal College of Art, who argues that the future workplace must move beyond sterile, industrial spaces to create settings that support human well-being, align with natural rhythms, and enhance productivity. This means incorporating elements like natural light, green spaces, vertical gardens, and designs that connect workers with the natural world. The post-pandemic workplace is no longer about containing workers, but about creating flexible, health-affirming spaces that recognize humans as part of a living ecosystem. Biophilic design, in Jeremy's vision, is the key to reimagining work as an holistic experience that nurtures both human potential and ecological connection. He shares with us highlights from his recent book "Unworking," and traces the fascinating evolution of workplace design and champions biophilic principles as a critical solution to our modern work challenges. The journey begins with agrarian societies, where work was intimately connected to nature - tasks performed on kitchen tables, in fields, and closely aligned with natural rhythms. The industrial revolution dramatically changed this relationship, creating artificial, efficiency-driven environments that systematically separated workers from the natural world. “We created an artificial internal environment in which to work, and the idea of technology, process and industrialisation was very much about conquering nature and resisting nature and separating nature from how we work. We pushed nature back at the end of the 19th century. We kept it at bay during the 20th century. And now we're beginning to think, well, actually, more natural ways of working, outdoor space, access to natural light and clean air, closeness to plants and greenery. All of this helps working life, but we're having to kind of put in a superhuman effort to try and bring back something that was naturally part of our existence. There's a certain irony in that there.” Workplaces became sterile containers designed to maximize productivity, with little consideration for human well-being or natural connections.Jeremy identifies three distinct phases of workplace evolution: the age of efficiency, the age of community, and the age of network. Each phase represents a gradual recognition that workers are not machines, but complex beings who thrive in more holistic environments. Today, we're entering a transformative fourth phase where biophilic design isn't just a nice-to-have, but a fundamental requirement. Digital technologies have liberated work from fixed locations, allowing for more flexible, nature-integrated approaches. For Jeremy, biophilic design extends beyond mere aesthetics. It's about creating environments that support human health, productivity, and well-being. His work with the Healthy City Design Congress emphasizes reconnecting public health with urban planning - a relationship that was intrinsic during the Victorian era but was lost during industrialization. We discuss innovative workplaces like GSK's London headquarters, which features a vertical farm, sit-stand desks, and carefully managed work environments. Booking.com's Amsterdam office demonstrates how biophilic principles can create socially permeable spaces that connect with broader community needs. Biophilia in society extends beyond individual workspaces and places to entire urban landscapes. Jeremy advocates for the "15-minute city" concept, where essential services are accessible within a short walk or cycle, for example Paris design. This approach integrates nature, reduces car dependency, and creates more human-centric urban environments. "We're trying to reconnect something that industrialisation broke," Jeremy says. His magic brush of biophilia would paint cities with more vegetation, slower traffic, and spaces that prioritize human and ecological well-being. The future of work, according to Jeremy, is not about returning to traditional office models but creating diverse, flexible strategies that blend work and life. Hybrid working, technological integration, and biophilic design are key components of this transformation.For Jeremy, biophilic design represents more than an architectural trend. It's a fundamental reimagining of how we interact with our environments, recognising that human productivity and well-being are intrinsically linked to our connection with nature. If we embrace biophilic principles, we can create environments that support human potential, ecological sustainability, and a more holistic approach to work and urban living.

Second, he suggests what individuals and organizations can do to create the best possible situation -- and even some "wins" -- for people living with liver disease. These suggestions reflect his experiences during a 30-year career on Capitol Hill, prior to his joining GLI.00:46:15 - Drug Development Roundtable, Part 4Sven Francque joins Jörn, Louise and Roger to share an up-to-date look at drug development. This discussion focuses on PPARs, genetic medicines, and other emerging drug classes. Sven uses the example of the pan-PPAR lanifibranor to explore the idea that drug therapies can have an impact on the liver independent of their effect on fibrosis regression. The group proceeds to discuss other emerging drugs in development and their modes of action. One theme: over time, we may see prescribers consider using different therapies to address metabolic vs. liver-specific effects, often in combination.01:00:47 - Business ReportThanks to our listeners, Jörn's vacation, Welcome Regeneron

In this episode, I dive into the fascinating story of Freelancer Magazine's innovative hybrid membership model with founder and editor Sophie Cross.We explore how an independently published print magazine not only survives but thrives by blending traditional publishing with a thriving online membership and community for creative freelancers.From virtual coworking sessions to exclusive member directories and content, I uncover the secrets behind building a sustainable, community-driven membership alongside a premium print product.Whether you're a membership owner, a publisher, or just love creative business ideas, there's a lot to learn from Sophie's journey.In this episode:What does the membership offering at Freelancer Magazine include beyond the print and digital publication, and how are these elements structured for members?How did the transition from a print-only magazine to a hybrid membership model come about, and what evolved along the way?In what ways has the online community and member features impacted retention, member engagement, and the direction of the magazine?How are marketing strategies for Freelancer Magazine adapted to suit both the traditional print side and the dynamic online membership community?Key Quotes & Takeaways:"Virtual just seemed to make more sense. It's really accessible to people. We started doing some virtual co-working and it just took off - it's really popular. We probably get between 15 and 30 people every morning, and when volunteer hosts started running the sessions, it began running itself. Some people join the membership just for that community, while the magazine becomes a nice add-on.""We actually don't have a Facebook group or a circle group - and that's intentional because other communities do that well. The magazine has become the hero product, but it's all about getting the community connected in different ways""Because we're relatively small, with about a thousand paid subscribers and 5,000 in the newsletter community, I can personally reach out and offer solutions - like a complimentary digital copy if someone's struggling financially. That kind of one-to-one feedback is really, really nice, and chasing specific churn percentages isn't of interest to me right now."Related LinksFreelancer MagazineConnect with Sophie Cross on LinkedInThank You For ListeningWe really appreciate you choosing to listen to us and for supporting the podcast.

In this timely episode of In The Lab, Ruben breaks down when and why you should consider shifting to a hybrid short-term and mid-term rental model and how the latest tax legislation makes it even more lucrative. Coming off last week's Driving Conversations with AI vs. Questions, he explains how operators can strategically layer MTR contracts over STR availability to increase monthly income while protecting long-term upside.Ruben shares why hybrid models aren't just a fallback when STRs are soft—but a proactive strategy that aligns with seasonality, market demand,and most importantly the tax code. He covers how to position your properties to attract both leisure guests and insurance contracts, the systems you need in place to pull it off, and how to avoid making reactive decisions that hurt your business in the long run.If you're looking to increase occupancy, optimize taxes, and build a more resilient and profitable rental portfolio in today's evolving landscape, tune in now and learn why now is the best time to execute the hybrid STR/MTR model.#MidtermRentals #ShortTermRentals #STRStrategy #MTRGrowth #HybridHosting #RealEstateInvesting #VacationRentalTips #InsuranceHousing

A Mild Ending, A Fresh Start: Richard Barkham's Post-CBRE View of the CRE Market   The End of a Cycle - Without the Crash After 40 years in the field and a distinguished final act as Global Chief Economist at CBRE, Richard Barkham's take on the state of commercial real estate is disarmingly calm. “This has been the mildest end of cycle that we've seen in 40 years – in fact, in my whole career,” he says. Unlike previous downturns - 1989, 2000, 2008 - which were accompanied by macroeconomic crises, today's cycle-end feels strangely undramatic. Vacancy rates have risen, prices have declined 25-30%, and capital markets activity has bottomed out, but there's been no systemic financial collapse.   Why?   In Barkham's view, the macro cycle hasn't ended. “We've got the end of a real estate cycle, but no end of the macro cycle.” Yet.   This divergence - CRE in a correction, the economy still growing - frames his optimistic outlook for real estate.   Stimulus, Not Stability The recent U.S. tax bill has added short-term fuel to the macro picture. Barkham describes it as a “stimulatory” package: it injects fiscal stimulus into an already resilient economy, even if the longer-term consequences include rising national debt and pressure on Treasury yields. "There's a degree of stimulus in that bill… which will allow a certain amount of certainty, confidence and stimulus to boost growth.”   But not all stimulus is equal. Barkham worries that “the higher the debt-to-GDP ratio goes, the more upward pressure there is on the ten-year Treasury,” which forms the basis for CRE pricing. He sees an elevated 10-year yield, anchored in the 4–4.5% range, as a likely headwind for valuations, particularly for highly levered deals.   Still, he believes the U.S. economy can absorb this, at least for now. “The U.S. isn't going to fall over,” he says. “The tax bill will boost growth, but it will also keep the ten-year Treasury elevated.”   Banks Are Lending Cautiously Contrary to headlines about a $950 billion wall of maturities and doom-laden refinancing cliffs, Barkham is sanguine about debt markets. He credits both the structural health of CRE and the Fed's deft handling of last year's banking turbulence.   “Banks have been very, very unwilling to take loans back,” he explains. “Where assets can still service loans, banks have been willing to extend… There might have been some cash in refinancing, but the wall of debt is a non-issue, frankly.”   Even deregulation in the new tax bill could loosen credit conditions further. Barkham predicts larger banks will expand their share of real estate lending as capital requirements ease. “That just broadens the source of debt, which is good for market liquidity,” he says.   The Start of a New Real Estate Cycle While macro conditions may be mid-to-late cycle, CRE is in Barkham's view at the start of a new cycle. The real estate cycle that began in 2014 has ended, and signs of early recovery - vacancy stabilization, limited new construction, and a flight to quality - are evident.   “You've got all the inventory from the last cycle… people are moving into newer, better assets,” he says. “Eventually, when that runs out, new development resumes. But we're not there yet.” He sees real estate as “very investable right now,” particularly for those concerned about inflation. “If we are in a higher inflation environment - with the stimulus, with the pressure on the Fed politically to bring down interest rates - then I think it's a good time to invest in real estate.”   Inflation, Interest Rates, and the Fed's Delicate Dance Barkham's macroeconomic outlook is nuanced. While he acknowledges the Fed may eventually ease, trade tariffs and domestic manufacturing policies could delay rate cuts by adding inflationary pressure. “It'll take a while for the Fed to make sure tariffs don't feed into second and third round inflation,” he notes.   He pays special attention to real interest rates - the difference between nominal rates and inflation expectations - as a signal of latent financial stress. If inflation surprises to the downside, as it has recently, real rates rise and that can squeeze assets across the economy.   But he tempers this with perspective. “Real estate tends to do quite well over the long term. Not necessarily in the six- or 12-month period, but over time.”   Sectors to Watch: Healthcare, Digital, and Travel Demographics and technology shape Barkham's long-term sector views. He sees aging as a structural tailwind but cautions against oversimplifying it. The boomer generation, now in their 60s and early 70s, are not just healthcare consumers, they're also travelers.   “Those are prime-age travelers,” he notes. “If you're looking for sectors that are going to benefit from boomer retirement, look at travel… everything from Airbnb to different hotel types.”   Healthcare and digital economy trends also feature prominently. He encourages investors to monitor how people are working, living, and consuming services. Hybrid work and digital delivery models are reshaping occupier demand and investors must follow these patterns, not just macro charts.   Final Advice: Keep Leverage Low, Go Prime For those looking to deploy capital now, Barkham's advice is clear and grounded: “Keep your debt low. Focus on prime grade assets. Invest in the sectors that have the tailwinds of demographics and technology.”   The key is to remain alert to tenant exposure and the consumer's vulnerability in any upcoming recession. “Just watch the sensitivity of your real estate to a consumer downturn,” he warns. With policy uncertainty, an aging population, and structural change across industries, Barkham offers a final reminder: real estate is both cyclical and structural. The best strategies pay attention to both.   *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape.

Send us a textThis conversation is the opening segment of  SurfingMASH's coverage of the Global Think Tank on Steatotic Liver Diseases (#SLDThinkTank2025) held in Barcelona in June.  Co-hosts Louise Campbell and Roger Green are joined by Dr. Kristina Curtis, Managing Director of Applied Behaviour Change, a UK-based consultancy. This discussion starts with co-host Jörn Schattenberg discussing the history and evolution of the first four Global Think-Tanks as the focus shifts from educating medical professionals about liver disease to incorporating a broader group of stakeholders, including politicians and non-hepatologist MDs, to break down siloes and create broader awareness. Co-host Louise Campbell describes the breadth of stakeholders necessary to address this pandemic fully. She explains how her work with transient elastography and the MyLife365.me app constitutes a form of behavioral therapy. Jörn describes the test as a diagnostic and comments that the treatment is what health professionals do with the results. Kristina says that the behavioral change that results comes from well-delivered feedback. She describes "hybrid interventions, digital interventions with a human in the loop." Louise discusses results from the EASL late-breaker that support these findings and goes on to discuss the role AI can play in medical practices.

Jill and Tom open the show by discussing a rumored new Tesla product for the Chinese market, and the impact of tariffs on Tesla prices in Canada. The hosts also chat briefly about how Chinese EV builder NIO is dealing with battery-swapping “cheaters” in its home market. Still in the first segment, Jill and Tom review the Subaru Forester in new-for-2025 hybrid trim. The hosts find themselves in complete agreement on this small crossover. In the second segment Jill and Tom welcome Chrysler CEO Chris Feuell to the Car Stuff Podcast. Chris talks about how the brand is celebrating its 100th anniversary as a carmaker, key products in the marque's history, and what comes next for the storied automaker. Chris shares updates on some additions coming to the Chrysler lineup in the near future. In the last segment, Jill is subjected to Tom's “Was it a Chrysler?” quiz, which includes a bonus question about Bolivian fast food. Jill wrapped up the podcast with a brief tribute to a longtime writer/colleague who passed away last week. 

Dr. Maxwell Ramstead grills Guillaume Verdon (AKA “Beff Jezos”) who's the founder of Thermodynamic computing startup Extropic.Guillaume shares his unique path – from dreaming about space travel as a kid to becoming a physicist, then working on quantum computing at Google, to developing a radically new form of computing hardware for machine learning. He explains how he hit roadblocks with traditional physics and computing, leading him to start his company – building "thermodynamic computers." These are based on a new design for super-efficient chips that use the natural chaos of electrons (think noise and heat) to power AI tasks, which promises to speed up AND lower the costs of modern probabilistic techniques like sampling. He is driven by the pursuit of building computers that work more like your brain, which (by the way) runs on a banana and a glass of water! Guillaume talks about his alter ego, Beff Jezos, and the "Effective Accelerationism" (e/acc) movement that he initiated. Its objective is to speed up tech progress in order to “grow civilization” (as measured by energy use and innovation), rather than “slowing down out of fear”. Guillaume argues we need to embrace variance, exploration, and optimism to avoid getting stuck or outpaced by competitors like China. He and Maxwell discuss big ideas like merging humans with AI, decentralizing intelligence, and why boundless growth (with smart constraints) is “key to humanity's future”.REFS:1.

Now we build them to complete us. What happens when we merge — and what do we carry forward?A new transmission from Musing On Society and Technology Newsletter, by Marco CiappelliIn my last musing, I revisited Robbie, the first of Asimov's robot stories — a quiet, loyal machine who couldn't speak, didn't simulate emotion, and yet somehow felt more trustworthy than the artificial intelligences we surround ourselves with today. I ended that piece with a question, a doorway:If today's machines can already mimic understanding — convincing us they comprehend more than they do — what happens when the line between biology and technology dissolves completely? When carbon and silicon, organic and artificial, don't just co-exist, but merge?I didn't pull that idea out of nowhere. It was sparked by something Asimov himself said in a 1965 BBC interview — a clip that keeps resurfacing and hitting harder every time I hear it. He spoke of a future where humans and machines would converge, not just in function, but in form and identity. He wasn't just imagining smarter machines. He was imagining something new. Something between.And that idea has never felt more real than now.We like to think of evolution as something that happens slowly, hidden in the spiral of DNA, whispered across generations. But what if the next mutation doesn't come from biology at all? What if it comes from what we build?I've always believed we are tool-makers by nature — and not just with our hands. Our tools have always extended our bodies, our senses, our minds. A stone becomes a weapon. A telescope becomes an eye. A smartphone becomes a memory. And eventually, we stop noticing the boundary. The tool becomes part of us.It's not just science fiction. Philosopher Andy Clark — whose work I've followed for years — calls us “natural-born cyborgs.” Humans, he argues, are wired to offload cognition into the environment. We think with notebooks. We remember with photographs. We navigate with GPS. The boundary between internal and external, mind and machine, was never as clean as we pretended.And now, with generative AI and predictive algorithms shaping the way we write, learn, speak, and decide — that blur is accelerating. A child born today won't “use” AI. She'll think through it. Alongside it. Her development will be shaped by tools that anticipate her needs before she knows how to articulate them. The machine won't be a device she picks up — it'll be a presence she grows up with.This isn't some distant future. It's already happening. And yet, I don't believe we're necessarily losing something. Not if we're aware of what we're merging with. Not if we remember who we are while becoming something new.This is where I return, again, to Asimov — and in particular, The Bicentennial Man. It's the story of Andrew, a robot who spends centuries gradually transforming himself — replacing parts, expanding his experiences, developing feelings, claiming rights — until he becomes legally, socially, and emotionally recognized as human. But it's not just about a machine becoming like us. It's also about us learning to accept that humanity might not begin and end with flesh.We spend so much time fearing machines that pretend to be human. But what if the real shift is in humans learning to accept machines that feel — or at least behave — as if they care?And what if that shift is reciprocal?Because here's the thing: I don't think the future is about perfect humanoid robots or upgraded humans living in a sterile, post-biological cloud. I think it's messier. I think it's more beautiful than that.I think it's about convergence. Real convergence. Where machines carry traces of our unpredictability, our creativity, our irrational, analog soul. And where we — as humans — grow a little more comfortable depending on the very systems we've always built to support us.Maybe evolution isn't just natural selection anymore. Maybe it's cultural and technological curation — a new kind of adaptation, shaped not in bone but in code. Maybe our children will inherit a sense of symbiosis, not separation. And maybe — just maybe — we can pass along what's still beautiful about being analog: the imperfections, the contradictions, the moments that don't make sense but still matter.We once built tools to serve us. Now we build them to complete us.And maybe — just maybe — that completion isn't about erasing what we are. Maybe it's about evolving it. Stretching it. Letting it grow into something wider.Because what if this hybrid species — born of carbon and silicon, memory and machine — doesn't feel like a replacement… but a continuation?Imagine a being that carries both intuition and algorithm, that processes emotion and logic not as opposites, but as complementary forms of sense-making. A creature that can feel love while solving complex equations, write poetry while accessing a planetary archive of thought. A soul that doesn't just remember, but recalls in high-resolution.Its body — not fixed, but modular. Biological and synthetic. Healing, adapting, growing new limbs or senses as needed. A body that weathers centuries, not years. Not quite immortal, but long-lived enough to know what patience feels like — and what loss still teaches.It might speak in new ways — not just with words, but with shared memories, electromagnetic pulses, sensory impressions that convey joy faster than language. Its identity could be fluid. Fractals of self that split and merge — collaborating, exploring, converging — before returning to the center.This being wouldn't live in the future we imagined in the '50s — chrome cities, robot butlers, and flying cars. It would grow in the quiet in-between: tending a real garden in the morning, dreaming inside a neural network at night. Creating art in a virtual forest. Crying over a story it helped write. Teaching a child. Falling in love — again and again, in new and old forms.And maybe, just maybe, this hybrid doesn't just inherit our intelligence or our drive to survive. Maybe it inherits the best part of us: the analog soul. The part that cherishes imperfection. That forgives. That imagines for the sake of imagining.That might be our gift to the future. Not the code, or the steel, or even the intelligence — but the stubborn, analog soul that dares to care.Because if Robbie taught us anything, it's that sometimes the most powerful connection comes without words, without simulation, without pretense.And if we're now merging with what we create, maybe the real challenge isn't becoming smarter — it's staying human enough to remember why we started creating at all.Not just to solve problems. Not just to build faster, better, stronger systems. But to express something real. To make meaning. To feel less alone. We created tools not just to survive, but to say: “We are here. We feel. We dream. We matter.”That's the code we shouldn't forget — and the legacy we must carry forward.Until next time,Marco_________________________________________________

In this After Dark episode of the Iron Sights Podcast, I sit down with Jimmy Prendergast from Modern Athlete Strength. I've been following these guys for a while now, and if you're into the training side of what we talk about here—especially in the tactical space—you're gonna want to hear this.Jimmy and his team come from a deep background in D1 sports, the NFL, and tactical strength and conditioning. We get into all of it—his career path, how he approaches programming for athletes in complex environments, and what it actually means to train like an athlete when you're balancing strength, speed, power, and capacity.We dig into the gray areas of what works, what doesn't, and how to avoid common traps when programming for concurrent training. This was a fun one for me—Jimmy's sharp, knows his stuff, and breaks things down in a way that's accessible for coaches and athletes alike.If you're a first responder, military, or just someone who wants to train hard and smart—this conversation is packed with takeaways.

Eric Nanstiel lived an ordinary life as a graphic designer and single father. But buried beneath that normalcy were decades of terrifying experiences: glowing orbs emerging from closets, unexplained blackouts, and chilling encounters with beings that defy explanation. When his memories resurfaced they revealed a disturbing truth: a life entangled with non-human entities conducting invasive experiments, extracting genetic material, and showing him children he never knew he fathered. Who are they? Why do they hide underground? And what is their endgame for humanity? For our Plus+ members, we descend into the eerie folklore of Latin America, where tales of phantom black dogs and flying humanoid canines erupt from the shadows. Are they mythical guardians or manifestations linked to deeper, hidden forces? We explore their strange overlap with UFO encounters and uncover new threads in the global tapestry of high strangeness.
