Podcasts about Inertia

Fusion has been “ten years away” for decades — but one corner of the field just crossed a line that changes the conversation. In December 2022, Lawrence Livermore National Lab's National Ignition Facility achieved ignition: a self-sustaining fusion reaction that produced net energy. And they've repeated it.So what happens when you take the only fusion approach that's proven to work, and focus less on new physics… and more on building the industrial supply chain to do it again and again, cheaply and reliably? You get a field trip!In part one of a two-part field trip to Livermore, California, Molly visits Inertia Energy's “House of Fusion” to meet two of the company's co-founders:Jeff Lawson (yes, that Jeff Lawson — founder of Twilio and majority owner of The Onion) on the business case for commercializing ignition, and why Inertia thinks the economics are finally ready.Mike Dunn, former Lawrence Livermore power-plant designer and Stanford professor, on what it takes to turn a lab breakthrough into a power plant — from a gigawatt-scale “engine” that can follow renewables on the grid, to building a million precision fuel targets a day.We talk about:What “ignition” actually means — and why it's different from “fusion someday”Why Inertia is starting with the only physics regime that's been proven to produce net fusion energyThe two big bottlenecks: high-power diode lasers and mass-manufactured fusion targetsHow scaling semiconductor manufacturing could drive laser costs down (and why “1,000x” matters)What a fusion target is: a tiny fuel capsule inside a miniature “oven” (and why lead beats gold for economics)Why a fusion plant looks more like a high-RPM engine than a one-off experiment — and how that changes everythingPotential early markets beyond electricity: high-temperature process heat for steel, cement, and fertilizerWhat it looks like to build a fusion company in Silicon Valley: Apple/Waymo-style process engineers, high-end metrology, and a Nerf gun used as a stand-in for high-speed target trackingThunderdome.

Today, we're joined by Jeff Lawson - co-founder of Twilio and now founder of Inertia, a fusion energy company commercialising the Lawrence Livermore fusion breakthrough (the first experiment to produce more energy from fusion than it consumed.)Cameron McLain talks to Jeff about why he thinks the barriers to fusion are manufacturing problems, not physics problems, what a 10-15 year timeline to grid energy actually looks like, and why he thinks SaaS is heading for a structural reckoning.He speaks about:Why the Lawrence Livermore breakthrough proved the physics works.Why the two commercial barriers are cost problems, not technical problems. For almost 100 years, fusion was '3 decades away' because nobody knew if it could work. But now it can work, the question is commercialisation.Why fusion and solar will win together. In 50 years, Jeff expects the grid to run on two sources: solar-plus-battery and fusion. How to make Agile work in hardware (and why the Gantt chart is a lie!)Why SaaS has an innovator's dilemma in the AI age.Why infrastructure companies win when the world is building.Why storytelling runs through everything: fundraising, hiring, selling.Building a purpose driven company?

Presently, New York State is in a state of inertia when it comes to eliminating subminimum wage for individuals with disabilities. This inactivity has increased in the past six months the number of individuals with disabilities from 400 to 1400 that are working below minimum wage. Assemblymember Phil Steck is the leading voice in the Assembly, trying to eliminate subminimum wage for individuals with disabilities. Unfortunately, other political leaders are caught in a state of inertia.

In this episode of the Story Club, Chris Walker shares hisjourney of transformation and the importance of understanding our subconsciousbeliefs.  He discusses how many high-achieving individuals operateunder the illusion that success comes from external validation and relentlessambition.  However, true growth stems from addressing the foundationalbeliefs that drive our actions.  By shifting our mindset and focusing on emotionalsovereignty, we can unlock our full potential and achieve clarity in our lives. Chris's insights challenge conventional wisdom and encourageus to rethink our approach to personal and professional development.  Connect with Jonny LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonnysrose Connect with Chris: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chriswalker171/ Chris' Book: https://www.amazon.com/Frequency-Era-Chris-Walker-ebook/dp/B0GXGBWSWQ Chapters: (00:00) - Introduction and Guest Background (00:32) - Transition from B2B Marketing to PersonalDevelopment (01:21) - Life Version 1.0 Operating System (02:14) - The Building Metaphor (04:06) - The Cause of Success (04:20) - Challenging Subconscious Programming(07:47) - The Realization and Shift (07:55) - The Impact of Mid-grade Anxiety (08:47) - The Trigger for Change (15:25) - The Importance of Emotional Regulation (15:44) - Encoded and Belief Systems (16:37) - Gary, The Factory Worker Philosophy (20:33) - The Shift in Economic Value and Education (23:59) - The Role of Discipline and Willpower (30:06) - Understanding Subconscious Beliefs and TheirImpact (32:22) - The Six-Tier Frequency Map (35:53) - Achieving Full Emotional Sovereignty (37:19) - Common Patterns Among High Tier Individuals (38:24) - Misconceptions and Understanding of Frequencies (41:58) - The Importance of Daily Practice (44:59) - The Future of Frequency Training (49:52) - Advice for Knowledge Workers (51:24) - The Inertia of Traditional Education (51:57) - The Five Traps of the Knowledge Economy (54:12) - Historical Recurrence of Traps (54:56) - The Changing Rules of the Economy (56:26) - The Limitations of Artificial Intelligence (58:11) - The Future: The Frequency Era (59:06) - Closing Remarks

This episode is brought to you by Your Clockwise Week—a personalized weekly structure built around your actual life, not an ideal one. If your week feels full but not fitting, you can learn more at mikevardy.com/yourclockwiseweek.The word "intentional" has been hollowed out. It's on coffee mugs, in Instagram bios, and attached to productivity advice that treats it like a personality trait rather than a practice. But intentional living isn't a vibe — and it's not the opposite of busy. It's a specific practice: asking, before you spend your time and energy, whether what you're doing actually aligns with what you value. That question is harder to sit with than most people expect. And most productivity systems never even ask it.This episode is the second in a series of solo livestreams I've been running, and it builds directly on last week's conversation about why busy isn't a badge — it's a blur. If busyness adds motion to the blur, intentional living is what clears it. What I'm walking through today is the operating system I use to do that: TimeCrafting. Not as a concept, but as something that actually runs your day-to-day life.Six Discussion PointsThe word "intentional" has been so overused it's nearly meaningless — and reclaiming its operational definition is the first step toward building a life that reflects what you actually value.Most people oscillate between the Ruthless Realm (all output, no alignment) and the Reckless Realm (all ideas, no follow-through) — and TimeCrafting is the path back to the Reasoned Realm, where choices are anchored rather than accidental.Reason isn't logic and it isn't emotion — it lives in the middle, and it's harder to sustain precisely because it offers less of the certainty that binary thinking provides.Daily themes aren't a rigid schedule — they're a gravitational pull, a lens you apply to your day rather than a rule you enforce on it, and a theme day that honors 70% still builds the cadence that intentional living depends on.The most clarifying question you can ask at any decision point is: "Am I acting from intention or inertia?" — and the answer often reveals whether you're building momentum or simply filling time with motion.TimeCrafting isn't just for work — the most durable themes are universal ones (connection, attunement, exploration, stewardship) that apply equally to your personal and professional life, which means you don't have to shift modes when you leave your desk.Three Connection PointsCheck out the YouTube channelThe Productivity Diet — goes deeper into mindset, method, and mastery across the TimeCrafting approachPrevious episode in this series: Busy Isn't a Badge — It's a Blur — the setup for everything covered hereIntentional living isn't something you install once and leave running in the background. It's something you return to — like a rhythm, like a practice. The question isn't whether you're productive. It's whether you're willing yourself toward the right things. That distinction is where TimeCrafting lives. And if this episode gave you even one question worth sitting with — whether it's "what day is it?" or "am I acting from intention or inertia?" — then it's already doing its job. If this episode resonated, I'm exploring ideas like these more deeply in my upcoming book, Productiveness. You can follow along as it takes shape at mikevardy.com/productiveness.

Кирилл Мокевнин – сооснователь онлайн-школы программирования «Хекслет», разработчик с почти двадцатилетним стажем, амбассадор организованного программирования и автор одноимённых YouTube- и Telegram-каналов. Он работал с Ruby on Rails ещё в коммерческой разработке, вокруг Rails строился сам Хекслет, и во многом на рельсах формировался его инженерный опыт. Rails много раз хоронили, но он почему-то продолжает жить. В него коммитят, вокруг него остаются большие продукты, он по-прежнему очень быстро закрывает типовые веб-задачи и даёт то самое ощущение, что один человек может сделать приложение от и до. Разбираем главные идеи рельсов: convention over configuration, ActiveRecord, миграции, серверную шаблонизацию, jobs, очереди и готовую инфраструктуру. Отдельно обсуждаем тёмную сторону этой философии: магию, метапрограммирование, динамически сгенерированные методы, колбэки в моделях, before_validation, жирные модели и боль больших проектов. А ещё – Sorbet, Tapioca и то, почему Кирилл со временем стал больше ценить типизацию, кодогенерацию и более «деревянный» код. Не обходим стороной фронтенд в рельсах: Hotwire, Inertia, React, TypeScript и вечный спор о том, где не писать JavaScript действительно полезно, а где превращается в тупиковую ветку. Ну и конечно обсуждаем главное: кому Rails вообще нужен сегодня. Почему его рано списывать, в каких продуктах он всё ещё даёт огромную скорость, а где лучше честно выбрать другой стек.

Karma as Inertia, Not Punishment The central reframing Tim offers is that karma is not a ledger of debts to be paid but a form of spiritual inertia — actions set in motion that continue until a higher principle intervenes. Drawing from Ra's definition in Session 34.4, karma is presented as momentum that persists until the "braking force" of forgiveness is consciously applied. This reframes the karmic process from something punitive into something almost mechanical — a kind of spiritual physics awaiting transformation. Forgiveness as the Stopping Principle The discussion circles repeatedly around forgiveness as the means by which karmic inertia is halted. Forgiveness here is not a sentimental gesture but a developmental achievement — the natural fruit of grief fully processed, of consciousness brought to bear on what was previously unconscious. One participant raises the question of whether forgiveness can ever be unconscious, and the group converges on the view that it must involve conscious response — aligning it with what another participant frames as the law of responsibility, where responsibility itself means "the duty to respond." The Photosynthesis Metaphor Tim develops an extended analogy between karma and photosynthesis. Just as chlorophyll absorbs light energy and can create blockages, so too do our energy centers absorb experience. But photosynthesis transforms that absorbed energy into something life-giving. The invitation is to see karmic processing not as the shedding of burdens but as the transmutation of experience into spiritual nourishment — CO₂ becoming glucose, suffering becoming wisdom, catalyst becoming love. The Unavoidability of Engagement Through the banana metaphor, Tim explores the paradox that action generates karma, yet inaction — the banana left to rot on the counter — is itself a form of failure. The sunflower does not hide from the carbon dioxide surrounding it; it metabolizes it. Avoidance is not harmlessness. True ahimsa (harmlessness), Tim suggests, is expressed not through withdrawal but through love-saturated engagement with the world. Individual and Collective Karma The discussion expands from personal karma to collective responsibility. If a nation commits acts of violence, do its citizens bear karmic weight? Tim raises this directly in relation to current military actions, and the question remains deliberately open. The implication, however, is that entanglement is inescapable — we are all woven into the collective knot — and our response to that entanglement is itself the karmic work. Shadow Work and Identity Release One participant shares a personal account of processing childhood shadow material — discovering that a wounded inner child had fused its identity with the story of victimhood. The healing came in two stages: first, simply sitting with and accepting the wounded part (rather than immediately trying to fix it), and second, releasing the attachment to the victim identity itself. This testimony grounds the evening's more abstract discussion in lived inner work, illustrating that karmic processing is not theoretical but deeply embodied. The Angulimala Story: Redemption Through Return Tim concludes with the Buddhist story of Angulimala — the murderer who, upon encountering the Buddha, undergoes a sudden awakening and is sent back to serve the very community he devastated. The story encapsulates the evening's core themes: that no karmic burden is beyond redemption, that transformation requires facing what one has become, and that the deepest healing often emerges from the most broken places. The detail that Angulimala becomes the patron saint of childbirth carries a poetic resonance — the one who took life becomes associated with its most vulnerable beginning. Grief as the Central Processing Unit A participant with a background in psychiatry offers a model of grief as the foundational emotional process through which karmic material is metabolized. The grief cycle — from shattered expectations through anger, sadness, and a "tomb phase" of reorganization — culminates in the capacity for forgiveness. This maps onto the evening's larger framework: forgiveness is not the starting point but the harvest of a long interior journey, and when the grief process is derailed into bitterness or hopelessness, unprocessed karma carries forward.

This week on Conflict Managed we welcome Bud Caddell. Together we explore: The power of friendship at work Experimenting to find durable solutions Behavior changes at work Checking-in and repairing work relationships Foreground and background conversations Generations at work Developing a “culture contract” You get the workforce you think about/expect Conflict Managed is available wherever you get your podcasts and on YouTube @3pconflictrestoration Described as “a craftsman of transformation,” Bud has dedicated his professional life to proving that change is always possible, even in the largest, most complex institutions on the planet. Bud started his career as the Head of Technology at a venture-backed startup, and quickly found himself advising Fortune 500 executives on their technology and innovation efforts. But the barriers to change we saw across their organizations weren't technical. They were cultural and organizational. Inertia, politics, dysfunction, as well as plain fear, stopped good ideas from being explored or even heard. Meanwhile, traditional consultants saw change primarily as a communications exercise, and focused on grand plans, not the hard work of implementation. In response, Bud became obsessed with the real mechanisms behind organizational change - the levers that actually provide new behaviors and shared conditions, and ultimately drive their adoption at scale. He founded NOBL in 2014 as an evidence-based and experimentation-forward approach to transformation, which has garnered truly remarkable results and attention for clients. Conflict Managed is produced by Third Party Workplace Conflict Restoration Services and hosted by Merry Brown. #ConflictManagement #WorkplaceCulture #Communication #Connection #Podcast

Chris Terrell introduces a new episode format by sharing an impromptu hot seat coaching call from his Guild program's maintenance class. The featured coaching conversation is with Misty (a previous guest) who has lost about 190 pounds and maintained it, but struggles to add exercise consistently. Chris also mentions a free three-week audio weight loss coaching course available at becomingthin.com.In the coaching call, Misty explains her rigid standard that “exercise” must be a 45–60 minute gym session, combined with a chaotic schedule, low enjoyment of the gym, and lack of a compelling goal. She likes activities that feel like normal life (hiking, paddleboarding, lake swimming) and notes fear around goals that might expose physical limitations (including pulmonary concerns). Chris and the group identify the root causes as philosophy/definition of exercise, unrealistic expectations, and focusing on “being better” rather than building the habit of showing up. Alex shares his own progression from very small fitness goals (VR workouts/kettlebell swings) to daily training, emphasizing that intrusive resistance thoughts can remain while the habit continues.Chris guides Misty toward lowering the minimum standard to something “insultingly easy,” focusing first on consistency and accountability rather than the perfect program. He suggests setting a small, repeatable baseline (e.g., three days a week for 10 minutes for several weeks), allowing overdelivery without raising the standard too soon, reducing friction by taking tiny next steps (putting on workout clothes, driving to the park), and pairing exercise with enjoyable elements (music, audiobooks, scrolling, phone calls). He reinforces that since Misty isn't chasing a specific performance goal yet, she can sample different activities and let a motivating goal emerge later. The episode ends with Chris highlighting how root cause analysis and coaching can shorten the time it takes to solve recurring problems.00:00 Welcome Back, Champion: Learning From Failure00:34 Chris's 125-Lb Story & the 6 Levers That Change Results01:13 Why This Episode: A Real Coaching Call on Adding Exercise03:06 Quick Plug: Free 3-Week Weight Loss Coaching Course04:01 Misty's Roadblocks: Gym Hate, Time, and a Chaotic Schedule06:08 Finding a Real Fitness Goal (Pushups, Pullups… or Something Bigger)08:08 The Real Root Cause: Rigid Definitions & Fear of Not Being Capable12:47 Resetting Expectations: What Counts as Exercise?

ADHD, autism, and eating disorders through the lens of inertia. What if feeling stuck is not laziness, resistance, or lack of motivation? In this conversation, Dr. Marianne Miller speaks with ADHD and neurodivergent-affirming therapist Stacie Fanelli, LCSW, @edadhd_therapist, about how autistic inertia, ADHD hyperfocus, and executive functioning differences shape restriction, bingeing, and symptom cycling. They explore why recovery approaches built on willpower and choice can deepen shame for neurodivergent people and how capacity-aware care offers a different path. Inertia outside of the ED can be a trigger for EDs existentially because of the sense of “stuckness” it creates; then, the ED swoops in and offers a sense of control.  This episode reframes stuckness as a nervous system experience rather than a character flaw and introduces compassionate, liberation-centered recovery grounded in harm reduction, radical acceptance, and real support for neurodivergent healing.

We all love the idea of “potential” until it quietly turns into pressure, guilt, and a weird fear of actually trying. Heather Moyse didn't start professional sport until 27 and still became a double Olympic gold medallist. Breaking out of her social safety and truly exploring her potential wasn't easy. We dig into behavioral inertia, self‑sabotage, and the invisible “settings” your environment installs in your brain. Think of this as a mindset update: less motivational quotes, more useful psychology. f you've ever felt stuck in the “nearly” version of your life—nearly starting, nearly committing, nearly backing yourself—this conversation gives you language, mental models, and a few friendly kicks to move. Spot the subtle ways your environment is capping your potential. Replace “be realistic” thinking with experiments that actually feel safe. Build a high‑potential identity without burning out or becoming a robot. Hit play and give your potential something better than another inspirational reel. SPONSORS

Inertia is super strong. What, if anything, is stronger? My late father-in-love used to say, “more than people know what they like, they like what they know.” People like what they know. They like certainty, clarity, predictability. They don't like being rattled. They don't like uncertainty. They don't like unpredictability. They don't like staring into a murky future. The address in our sacred canon for the strength of inertia comes from last week's reading. When the children of Israel left Egypt during the Exodus, the Torah says they left chamushim. Rashi offers two explanations for that word. One is that they left with arms, as they would need to fight wars on their way to the promised land. But the other explanation Rashi brings is that chamushim is related to the Hebrew word chamesh, five. Namely, only one in five Hebrew slaves chose to leave. Fully four out of five Hebrew slaves chose to remain slaves. That Rashi is so evocative, so prescient, so rich. Fully 80 percent of Hebrew slaves chose the predictability of slavery over the insecurity of freedom. This despite their moaning and groaning under the burdens of slavery. This despite seeing God's saving power with their own eyes—it's dark for the Egyptians, not dark for us; the first-born of the Egyptians perish, our first-born are fine. Despite an interventionist God redeeming them from the misery of slavery, 80 percent of the Hebrew slaves opted for slavery. More than people know what they like, they like what they know. How often has this dynamic played out in Jewish history, with fatal consequences for those who opted to remain where they were.  Rashi goes on to add that the 80% died in Egypt. Throughout Jewish history, inertia has proven not only strong but deadly. How does inertia show up in your life? How does inertia show up in our life? What, if anything, enables us to resist the incredible power of inertia? What can we learn from David Brooks's final piece for the Times about how to resist inertia? Would you have been the 20%? Or the 80%? Are you the 20% or the 80%?

Clients will pay for meaningful life/business changes (opening a business, planning legacy, scaling to $1M) rather than just deliverables. Transformations subsume all previous economic levels and are best monetized through subscriptions.2. Subscription vs. Recurring Revenue: A Critical Distinction. There's a fundamental difference between recurring (predictable repeat billing) and reoccurring (periodic invoicing). True subscription models create 5-10x higher business valuations and require upfront payment, automation, and a membership mindset—not just monthly invoicing for the same service.3. Nature of Work Trumps Scope of Work. Instead of selling defined scopes (hours, tasks, deliverables), professionals should sell nature of work (bookkeeper vs. controller vs. CFO; pair of hands vs. expert vs. collaborator). This shifts focus from transactional outputs to strategic relationships and enables premium subscription pricing.4. The Billable Hour Persists Due to Inertia, Profitability, and Technology Gaps. Despite decades of criticism, hourly billing survives because: (1) it's still profitable enough, (2) switching requires overcoming massive inertia, and (3) existing legal/accounting tech is built to optimize billable hours rather than enable alternative models. Bottom-up transformation (solo practitioners first) is more feasible than top-down.5. AI Won't Replace Human Expertise—It Will Enhance It. While AI can handle execution (like robotic surgery or document drafting), clients will still want human subject matter experts for consultation, strategy, and decision-making. The key is “prescription before diagnosis”—professionals must diagnose before prescribing solutions, and AI should augment rather than replace that consultative relationship.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

It's a beautiful day at Dean's Trail. We've had a couple of days of nice, relatively cool weather. Alexa weather before that had been very wrong for a few days to the tune of like 10 degrees off the highs. We would say it's 77 and it's actually gonna be wound up being 91 or something. So, But it's very nice today. 70 is nice. The breeze is cool. And I'm enjoying it. I get to work really, really early in the morning. I usually don't take a lunch break and I get off really early in the afternoon. Or, you know, let's just say at least early afternoon. Leaning towards mid-afternoon. Started this walk at 2:30 if that'll give you an idea.   Read the full post at http://RunningAFEVER.com/441

Phil Freo, VP of Product and Engineering at Close, has lived the rare arc from founding engineer to executive leader. In this conversation, he breaks down why he stayed nearly 12 years, and what it takes to build a team that people actually want to grow with.We get into retention that is earned, not hoped for, the culture choices that compound over time, and the practical systems that make remote work and knowledge sharing hold up at scale.Key takeaways• Staying for a decade is not about loyalty, it is about the job evolving and your scope evolving with it• Strong retention is often a downstream effect of clear values, internal growth opportunities, and leaders who trust people to level up• Remote can work long term when you design for it, hire for communication, and invest in real relationship building• Documentation is not optional in remote, and short lived chat history can force healthier knowledge capture• Bootstrapped, customer funded growth can create stability and control that makes teams feel safer during chaotic marketsTimestamped highlights00:02:13 The founders, the pivots, and why Phil joined before Close was even Close00:06:17 Why he stayed so long, the role keeps changing, and the work gets more interesting as the team grows00:10:54 “Build a house you want to live in”, how valuing tenure shapes culture, code quality, and decision making00:14:14 Remote as a retention advantage, moving life forward without leaving the company behind00:20:23 Over documenting on purpose, plus the Slack retention window that forces real knowledge capture00:22:48 Bootstrapped versus VC backed, why steady growth can be a competitive advantage when markets tighten00:28:18 The career accelerant most people underuse, initiative, and championing ideas before you are askedOne line worth stealing“Inertia is really powerful. One person championing an idea can really make a difference.”Practical ideas you can apply• If you want growth where you are, do not wait for permission, propose the problem, the plan, and the first step• If you lead a team, create parallel growth paths, management is not the only promotion ladder• If you are remote, hire for writing, decision clarity, and follow through, not just technical depth• If Slack is your company memory, it is not memory, move durable knowledge into docs, issues, and specsStay connected:If this episode sparked an idea, follow or subscribe so you do not miss the next one.

The biggest risk investors face right now isn't just climate change, geopolitics, or emerging-market volatility. The real threat in impact investing is inertia. Capital stays in familiar places because big asset owners can get satisfactory returns elsewhere. So, unless incentives and information change, inertia wins.This episode is about why social investment keeps getting stuck, even when good people across government, finance, and communities are trying to do the right thing – and what actually has to change for money to start moving.It focuses on where incentives misfire and how to scale impact investing and social investment beyond pilot projects. I'm joined by Nick Hurd, former UK minister and now Chair of GSG Impact. Nick has worked across government, finance, and civil society. He helped build the UK's social investment market, pioneered early social impact bonds, and later stepped away from politics after deciding markets offered more leverage than ministries.We talk about:how outcome-based finance works in practicehow social investment moves risk off taxpayerswhere social impact bonds work (and where not)why climate finance must account for communities, not just emissionsFeatured guest: Nick Hurd, Chair & Senior Adviser at GSG Impact Listen Next: Conversation with Sir Ronald Cohen Conversation with Nick O'DonohoeDiscover More from SRI360°:Explore all episodes of the SRI360° Podcast Sign up for the free weekly email update

Experiment Zero - The Peace Experiments: The Hearing on Global Inertia Kitty travels to the capital to cover a high-level hearing on global disarmament. Inside a cavernous hotel ballroom, officials and defense contractors frame peace as a dangerous gamble and delay as responsibility. The youth delegation is present but constrained, allowed to speak just long enough to be thanked and ignored. As the hearing concludes, Kitty realizes the system is not failing by accident—it is working exactly as designed, and the real test is still ahead. Experiment Zero is the prequel to The Peace Experiments, a peace-forward series where a group of young people are brave enough to challenge conventional arguments against peace and disarmament.

Indiana picked basketball over being good at football. Miami never really chose not to be good at football, but made a series of mistakes and ran up against difficult modern realities that caused a long drought. Meanwhile, the story of Phil Knight rescuing Oregon is now so old-fashioned it's basically quaint. In this subscriber episode, Richard and Alex talk about how the four 2025 Playoff semifinalists got out of their own way. The second half of this audio file (starting at 39:43) is a resurfacing of our “Dead Letters” episode about the history of Ole Miss football, featuring Alex and Steven Godfrey. We've gotten a lot of new listeners since the episode came out in 2023 and wanted to make sure those folks had a chance to hear it. Find all Dead Letters shows here. Producer: Anthony Vito.

In 2019, Equitable's CEO, Mark Pearson, set out to change how the 163-year-old financial services firm gets work done. He wanted the firm to speed up decision-making and empower employees through a flatter hierarchy, agile teams, and more opportunities to lead. Most divisions thrived under the new model. Others clung to old habits. Several years in, the effort sheds light on core questions: What does true cultural change look like? What makes it last? And how do leaders bring skeptics along? Harvard Business School Professor Das Narayandas joins Pearson and COO Jeff Hurd to discuss the case “New WOW at Equitable: A New Way of Working.”

Decisions are like dominos. And here we are—2026—standing in front of the next domino.In this message, Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares how your life hasn't been shaped by big moments as much as by little choices. This message is called "Last Year's Choices." This isn't to give you a hard time about what you did last year—we all made good decisions and bad decisions in 2025. This is to help you understand how you got where you are and how to use the domino effect for your good.Our current lives are the sum total of our decisions. Some choices were intentional, some reactive, some made under pressure, and some dominoes were knocked over by others. I'm not saying you chose everything that happened to you, but you did choose how you responded."We are all born looking like our parents, but we all die looking like our decisions."If decisions brought us here, decisions can take us somewhere new.Where you are didn't happen all at once. It happened one choice at a time, one habit at a time, one reaction at a time. Last year's choices produced this year's realities, and this year's choices will produce next year's reality.You really do have a choice.Deuteronomy 30:19 reminds us God sets life and death before us and calls us to choose. You can't control your upbringing or circumstances, but you do control your decisions. You can't rewrite yesterday, but you can redirect today.When it comes to decisions, your default is not good.Joshua 24:15 shows that if we don't choose God, we don't choose nothing—we choose what's familiar. If you don't choose what's godly, you'll choose what's comfortable.You are good at making bad choices.Jeremiah 17:9 says the human heart is deceitful. Your heart doesn't just feel; it steers. That's why Proverbs 4:23 says to guard your heart, because it determines the course of your life. Good intentions don't stop bad decisions—good decisions do.Your choices begin as thoughts.James 1:15 shows how desire becomes action. A thought isn't a sin, but when desire meets decision, it produces direction. Philippians 4 reminds us to think on what is true and right, then put it into practice. Your thoughts are practice for your actions.Your choices are not private.Every decision affects someone. Numbers 32:23 reminds us what we repeat privately becomes who we are publicly. Personal choices become public patterns.Today is next year's "last year." You can start now.Is the domino effect working for you—or against you?

These aren't fringe ideas or speculative theories. We're talking about the foundational experiments that shaped modern physics: Michelson–Morley, the Sagnac effect, Airy's findings, and the behavior of light in different media. Bennett explains why these results never actually aligned with the narrative textbooks insist on, and how later interpretations were engineered to keep the model intact.We explore the deeper tension underneath the science: the commitment to a worldview that insists humanity cannot occupy a privileged position in the cosmos. Bennett argues that the Copernican principle functions less like an inference and more like a dogma — and when experimental results contradict it, the results get reframed, ignored, or buried. His critique isn't emotional or conspiratorial; it's a sober, technical walk through data that refuses to fit the prevailing cosmology.From aether theories to Newton's bucket to the “axis of evil” in the cosmic microwave background, this conversation opens a door into questions most of us never realized were on the table. Whether you agree, disagree, or simply want to think more critically about the experiments behind modern physics, this is a discussion worth sitting with.You'll Learn:[00:00:00] Introduction[00:11:41] The moment that sparked questioning the very foundations of relativity[00:13:53] What the Michelson Morley experiment actually showed, and how it was misinterpreted and used to reify relativity[00:25:59] The experiments beyond Michelson-Morley that prove aether exists and Earth doesn't rotate[00:34:31] Newton's bucket, inertial frames, and Mach's competing explanation[00:46:15] Why the cosmic microwave background's "axis of evil" points directly to Earth[00:53:28] Why Airy's "failure" was actually a success in falsifying heliocentrism[01:04:11] The nuanced difference between geocentrism and geostatism, and why neither requires a flat Earth[01:21:57] Why GPS had to be engineered around relativity, not built on it[01:33:13] What is aether and what is the alpha model?[01:37:07] What Hildegard of Bingen's medieval vision reveals about Earth's central role in creation[02:01:30] The profound connection between aether, consciousness, and the nature of God[02:11:26] When coincidences become evidence of something beyond the physical[02:14:09] Long-buried artifacts and texts are emerging at this critical moment in historyResources Mentioned:Galileo Was Wrong by Robert Bennett and Robert Sungenis | BookVixra Monographs | WebsiteThe True Conception of the World according to Hildegard von Bingen | BookAn End to the Upside Down Cosmos by Mark Gober | Book or AudiobookFind more from Alec:Alec Zeck | InstagramAlec Zeck | XThe Way Forward | InstagramThe Way Forward is Sponsored By:RMDY Academy & Collective: Homeopathy Made AccessibleHigh-quality remedies and training to support natural healing.

Mirror Master. The Trickstah. After a year in hell, the Rogues have returned to the Twin Cities with revenge on their minds. They were betrayed, they were abducted, and worst of all… they were forced to break their number one rule: No Killing Speedsters. And at the center of it all? Thaddeus Thawne aka Inertia. Now, before the Rogues hang it up and leave their careers of crime behind them, they are determined to find Inertia… and break their rule one last time.

In this profound episode, the MadPo3t sits down with wisdom-driven coach Rhonda Farrah for a truly conversational deep dive into the architecture of self-change. We dissect the universal law of Inertia—why we stay stuck—and the vital importance of The Decision that initiates all growth.Rhonda shares her 20-year journey of self-uncovery, using the powerful analogy of peeling the onion: proving that transformation is slow, painful, and requires honoring the tears (the 'Homage to the Pain'). Ultimately, this rigorous process serves one purpose: shedding the layers of the small 's' self to reveal the ultimate, authentic Capital 'S' Self.Tune in to learn how to break your own inertia and commit to the necessary cost of becoming your best version.Rhonda Farrah:https://www.linkedin.com/in/rhonda-m-farrah-ma-drwa-81097b14/ https://www.facebook.com/HelpMeRhondaNowInternational/ https://www.facebook.com/rhonda.farrah https://twitter.com/helpmerhondanow https://www.instagram.com/rhonda.helpmenow/ Group Coaching Program:https://helpmerhondanow.com/

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast, we've got two guys from different generations who've collided with big riffs in recent years: Tom Morello and Jordan Benjamin. Tom Morello is best known as the guitarist for Rage Against the Machine, which smashed together heavy music and activism in the 1990s, inspiring countless bands—some good, some bad, as he'll freely admit—to sprinkle some hip-hop into their rock. Morello went on to form Audioslave with Soundgarden's Chris Cornell and find a whole other area of success, but he didn't stop there: Morello goes wherever the muse takes him, from playing with Bruce Springsteen to doing acoustic sets as The Nightwatchman. He's always working on new music—and always outspoken politically. Morello tapped Jordan Benjamin to contribute to his 2021 single “Hold the Line,” which makes perfect sense, because the music that Benjamin records under the name Grandson is certainly inspired by Rage, among other artists of course. Grandson has been releasing records for the past decade or so, fusing hip-hop and alt-rock elements with unabashedly political lyrics. For his latest album under the Grandson name, Inertia, Benjamin leaned into a more organic rather than electronic sound—you'll hear him talk about the transition in this chat. Check out the song “God is an Animal” from Inertia right here. In this lively conversation, Morello and Benjamin talk about working together, about the magic of band chemistry, and about the “technological hellhole we find ourselves in.” It's still fun, though, check it out.

“Amplify” author and AJR member Adam Met talks about the playbook he wrote applying fan-building strategies to the climate movement. Adam drops silver linings aplenty in our chat with Alexis Abramson, Dean of the Columbia Climate School, the world's first truly comprehensive university climate program. Among the silver linings: it only takes 3.9% of a population to demand and create change, tremendous strides are being made in local government toward climate change mitigation, and more. This episode was recorded live at Columbia University's Forum Theater during NYC Climate Week on September 26, 2025. Full video of this episode is available on our website, singforscience.org.
