A rep says "follow up on that" on a call, then buries it under five more calls and a late-night inbox. Three days later the deal's gone cold, but the CRM still says it's live. The manager forecasts off that.  The CRO forecasts off the manager. The board asks the CEO if anyone actually has a grip on the number. The whole thing was built on a promise nobody kept.  Adam Liska worked on the early Gemini models at Google DeepMind before leaving to close that gap. His company, airspeed, just raised a $20M Series A on a bet that "revenue execution" is the next real category, not another tool that logs calls and calls it intelligence.  Sam Jacobs traces the full arc with him: DeepMind to founder-led sales to the unglamorous work of turning a founder's instincts into a system a team can actually run.  What we get into:  Why "follow up on that" breaks the forecast chain from rep to CRO to board What "revenue execution" means, and why it isn't revenue intelligence with a new label  Whether you own the interface or hand it to a chat model and live as middleware  The Nashville lunch that became airspeed's first six-figure deal  The real sequence from founder-led to scalable: capture the data first, then build the playbooks  Owning your data instead of renting Salesforce's architecture  The modern Turing test, AI-native orgs, and where the back office is headed Chapters:   00:00 Intro 00:44 From DeepMind to airspeed, and the $20M Series A  01:30 "Follow up on that" — the execution gap that breaks forecasts  04:00 What category is this?

Today, Joanne Moscalu (Binge Eating Dietitian) is a guest on the podcast. Joanne is a specialist Eating Disorder Dietitian, researcher and writer. Her work focuses on binge eating, combining clinical practice, research and thoughtful writing to challenge misconceptions and encourage more compassionate conversations about our relationship with food.

Joanne has recently started sharing her writing on these subjects and you can subscribe to her work with this link: https://joanne-moscalu.ghost.io/ Today, Jo is here to talk about all things binge eating and to share some of her wonderful insights from her recent thesis. 1. Her thesis is about lived experience, not treatment or prevention of EDs but what it is actually like to live with binge eating in the modern day world. 2. As a dietitian, she focuses on the dietitian role and how we can maximise it for care of BED and how this is currently wildly underutilised. 3. Talking about BED as a bio-psycho-social condition and yet the social side is underlooked. Jo's thesis explores the significance of these social elements 4. Jo has publications in the pipeline but has just started sharing her ideas on a new writing platform which you can subscribe to here https://joanne-moscalu.ghost.io/ I hope that you enjoy the conversation.

Brad shares preliminary results from a University of Minnesota study examining feed intake, methane emissions, and feeding behavior in Holstein and crossbred dairy heifers. Using precision feeders, methane-monitoring equipment, and activity sensors, the research team compared Holsteins with ProCROSS and GrazeCross heifers.The early findings show that methane production generally increased with feed intake. Smaller GrazeCross heifers consumed less feed and produced less methane and carbon dioxide, while ProCROSS heifers had the highest feed intake. However, methane produced per unit of dry matter intake did not differ significantly among the breed groups.Brad also discusses how often heifers visited the feed bunk, how much time they spent eating, and what sensor data revealed about rumination and activity. These preliminary results highlight how body size, breed, and feeding behavior may influence heifer management and environmental efficiency.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

I am honored to have Dr. Carrie Jones back on the podcast today. She's a naturopathic physician and hormone expert with over 20 years of clinical experience in women's health and endocrinology. In today's conversation, we unpack common social media myths about midlife, the influence of lifestyle choices in perimenopause, the role of cortisol and hormones, and current research on the parasympathetic nervous system. Dr. Jones explains vagal freeze, how our stress response can exacerbate it, and why stress has become so normalized. We also explore the influence of synthetic hormones, thyroid propaganda, immune system function, autoimmunity, lab reference values and ranges, and the timing hypothesis of hormone replacement therapy, and Dr. Jones shares her favorite new supplements. Stay tuned for another insightful conversation with one of my favorite voices in the hormone space. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: The importance of being thoughtful about information shared on social media regarding perimenopause and menopause How chronic stress becomes harder to tolerate and can cause an increase in inflammation during perimenopause Some simple strategies to help you feel safe, connected, and supported, and improve your vagal tone How actual stress, anticipated stress, and perceived stress all activate the same stress response How chronic stress affects every system within the body How certain women can tolerate synthetic hormones very well, while others develop various symptoms Why basic blood tests and reference ranges are not always optimal for everyone Factors that could influence thyroid function, and the benefits of a broader thyroid assessment than TSH alone Dr. Jones explains why she prefers to start hormone therapy early in perimenopause if appropriate The new supplements Dr. Jones uses to support mood, stress, and sleep Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website.

For this final installment of interviews from Winnetka Music Festival, I spoke to Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist Vivian McConnell just after her set at this amazing local festival which took place June 19-20 on Chicago's North Shore.Vivian's solo project, V.V. Lightbody, is best known for its “flute-forward” lush compositions, and also known for her work synth pop project Valebol with noted Chicago drummer Daniel Villareal. Vivian is involved in numerous collaborations and lends her talents to a broad list of indie bands including Finom, Whitney, Fruit Bats, Elizabeth Moen and Rose Hotel, among others. V.V. Lightbody's third album is due for release in the Fall.In this fun convo between friends, Vivian shares with me her current evolution and mindset, and we discuss the importance of community in music, how her own DIY ethos has evolved, and the factors that have guided her in the growth of her now 10-year career.

Most of us are unknowingly shaped by family doctrines we've never consciously challenged and those invisible beliefs influence every interaction, relationship, and decision. What if you could identify and intentionally rewrite those patterns to build a healthier, more unified family life? In this empowerment moment, we delve into the power of family doctrine, the ingrained beliefs and practices passed down across generations and how they quietly determine whether your family thrives or survives. Join us as we explore how daily repetition cements these beliefs, how they shape marriages, money habits, emotions, and even visions for the future. You'll discover why understanding and intentionally shaping your family's doctrine is the key to breaking cycles of dysfunction and cultivating lasting harmony. In this segment I break down:The difference between accidental and intentional family doctrines, and why the latter is crucial for growthHow ingrained beliefs about money, emotion, and success are reinforced every day, often without awarenessPractical steps to identify your family's current doctrine and reprogram it for better outcomesThe role of consistent practice over knowledge and why “saying” isn't enough it's about what you do repeatedlyWhy clarity and unified direction are vital for strengthening your family unit and building a legacy that lastsIgnoring these fundamental beliefs risks perpetuating cycles of frustration, miscommunication, and stagnation. But by consciously shaping your family's doctrine, you create a foundation rooted in purpose and intention, a transformational shift that impacts generations. Perfect for parents, leaders, and anyone eager to break free from inherited patterns and craft a new family narrative. If you're ready to understand the unseen influences at play and take control of your family's future, this segment is your start. Lay the groundwork for a legacy of love, clarity, and shared purpose listen now and begin rewriting your family's story.Tempo w/ Chris Thomas Podcast: Empowering underdogs, aspiring leaders, and entrepreneurs to accelerate growth, build wealth, and lead with purpose through practical strategies and a focus on high-impact execution.Tempo exists to inform, empower, and invest in people shifting how they think, live, and build wealth through knowledge, media, and actionable opportunities.“Own your Tempo, Move with Purpose, and Build with Power.”Join the Tempo Communityhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/pacesetnetwork/?ref=share_group_linkWatch on YouTube https://youtu.be/QMtBgJ82LUc?si=9ovKiesBLUCxakoFRead our Latest Blog on SubStack https://substack.com/@tempowithchris?r=2qpe4c&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=stories&shareImageVariant=image

Our bodies, relationships, culture, suffering, work, spiritual battles, and life experiences all shape us in significant ways. Yet none of these influences alone defines who we are. As image bearers created by God, we are embodied souls who live before him, responding to both blessings and hardships in a world full of competing influences. In this episode, Mike Emlet, Jonathan Holmes, and Gunner Gundersen continue CCEF's series on our seven distinctives by exploring the third distinctive: We are embodied souls shaped by a world of influences. Together they discuss: Why our bodies matter for faithful care How relationships, culture, and suffering shape our lives Why spiritual warfare remains an important reality in counseling The danger of reducing people to a single explanation or diagnosis How slowing down helps us care for people more wisely Why the local church is uniquely equipped to know, love, and walk alongside people in all their complexity This conversation invites us to see people more fully—and to reflect the patient, compassionate care of Christ as we walk with them.

In this episode of And Now For Something Completely Machinima, Tracy Harwood, Phil Rice and Damien Valentine examine Stolen, a 30-minute GTA V machinima by Dark Frame Films (Kevin Fernandez, aka Shepherd41). Set in a near-future world where consciousness can be transferred between bodies through the mysterious "Rebirth Project," the film follows former soldier John Bell on a relentless quest to recover his daughter's stolen body and restore her consciousness.The discussion explores the film's ambitious blend of cyberpunk worldbuilding, transhumanist philosophy, revenge-thriller storytelling and cinematic action choreography. The hosts consider how themes of identity, bodily ownership, digital consciousness and technological immortality resonate with contemporary debates around AI, neural interfaces and human enhancement.Along the way, they compare Stolen to films such as John Wick, Taken, Man on Fire and Payback, while also discussing the strengths and limitations of GTA V as a filmmaking platform compared with Cyberpunk 2077. The conversation highlights the film's impressive cinematography, custom modifications, visual storytelling and sound design, while also critiquing pacing, editing choices and the use of AI-generated voice performances.Despite differing opinions on its length and execution, the panel agrees that Stolen presents compelling ideas and demonstrates the creative potential of machinima for exploring complex science-fiction concepts through virtual production. 00:00 – Introduction Phil introduces the episode and the panel.  Tracy presents this week's featured film: Stolen by Dark Frame Films. 01:40 – The Premise of Stolen The Rebirth Project, body donors and transferable consciousness.  Why the film's central idea immediately captured Tracy's attention. 04:00 – Cyberpunk Themes and Transhumanism Digital identity, body ownership and consciousness transfer.  Connections to contemporary debates around AI and neural technologies. 08:10 – Revenge Story or Philosophical Sci-Fi? Comparisons with John Wick and other revenge narratives.  Questions of identity, selfhood and what makes a person "themselves." 11:30 – Ambition vs Execution Discussion of editing, pacing and the challenges of showcasing custom GTA V mods while telling a story. 12:50 – Damien's Perspective Why the film could have worked within Cyberpunk 2077.  The importance of GTA V's cinematic tools and Rockstar Editor. 15:40 – Silent Protagonists and Visual Storytelling Why John Bell's lack of dialogue largely succeeds.  Storytelling through action and environmental context. 18:45 – AI-Generated Voice Acting Damien discovers the voices were AI-generated.  Debate about performance quality versus accessibility. 19:15 – GTA V as a Filmmaking Platform Rockstar Editor, recamming and cinematic camera control.  Why GTA V remains one of the strongest machinima production environments. 23:30 – Influences and Inspirations Comparisons to Taken, Man on Fire, John Wick, Steven Seagal films and Payback.  The enduring appeal of revenge-and-recovery narratives. 24:50 – Story Structure Critique Whether the film waits too long to reveal the protagonist's motivation.  The importance of establishing emotional stakes earlier. 30:00 – Sound Design Analysis Praise for combat sound effects and musical score.  Discussion of ambience, spatial audio, reverb and sound placement. 33:40 – Script, Narrative Twist and Midpoint Reveal Why the central revelation changes audience assumptions.  The strengths of the film's writing and worldbuilding. 36:00 – Why the AI Voices Don't Quite Work The impact of synthetic performances on an otherwise strong script.  The missed opportunity to use human voice actors. 39:00 – The Third Act and Ending Questions of forgiveness, guilt and personal responsibility.  A powerful idea that may not be fully resolved by the conclusion. 43:30 – Memorable Moments The hosts discuss the film's most spectacular action sequences.  Phil awards a tongue-in-cheek "Machinima First" for an especially gruesome helicopter-blade death. 44:10 – Final Verdicts Overall impressions and hopes to see more work from Dark Frame Films.  Closing thoughts and audience invitation to share their views.Credits -Co-hosts: Phil Rice, Tracy Harwood, Damien ValentineProducer/Editor: Phil RiceMusic: Phil Rice & SunoAI

Long before European powers fixed their gaze on the Connecticut River Valley, the region that would become Brattleboro was part of a broader Abenaki homeland. The Connecticut River and its tributaries—especially the West River and Whetstone Brook—were more than waterways; they were transportation corridors, food sources, and cultural anchors...here's the story...

In this episode of Bonfire Conversations, I speak with narrative designer David Mervik, known for his work on LittleBigPlanet 3, Little Nightmares, Little Nightmares II, and the critically acclaimed Reanimal from Tarsier Studios.Originally planned around the game's launch, this conversation was postponed due to the outbreak of war in my home country, Iran. During that period, experiencing real-world uncertainty and loss gave new meaning to Reanimal's themes of fear, innocence, and survival.Together, we explore the relationship between war and storytelling, the loss of innocence, writing without dialogue, and how real-life tragedies can shape the emotional foundation of interactive narratives.David also shares insights into his creative process, inspirations, and the philosophy behind building worlds that communicate emotion beyond words.Thank you for watching and supporting Bonfire Conversations.Subscribe for more conversations with filmmakers, game developers, composers, and storytellers shaping the world of modern narrative art.Chatpers:0:00 - Introduction & Welcome1:16 - Postponing the Interview: Living Through War in Iran3:18 - The Inception and Themes of Reanimal10:50 - Addressing War Without Glorifying It11:38 - Childhood Memories & Influences on Tarsier's Games15:11 - Evolving as a Person and a Parent16:47 - Growing Up in the UK and Stumbling Into Sweden19:03 - Finding a Passion for Writing and Narrative Design21:35 - Moving to Tarsier Studios & Transitioning Away From Level Design22:27 - Telling Stories With Fewer Words: The Power of Minimalism28:31 - Penny for Your Thoughts: Finding Light in Dark Moments31:10 - Learning Humility and Overcoming Strong Opinions32:20 - David's Top Five Favorite Horror Films33:55 - David's Favorite Video Games of All Time35:55 - What Scares a Horror Writer the Most?38:03 - What's Next for Tarsier Studios?

MARKY P Marky P is a Music Loving Gadget Freak and started playing with Sound Master and QBase on his Amiga at the Age off 11. Always interested in the funky Vibe and waveforms he linked his basic sampler to a mixer and by the age of 14 was doing mashups to his friend and family with samples mixed in over the top. So an early start for Marky and by the age of 16 was a DJ on Cruise FM in 1984. Continuing through in various different Genres till 89/90 then retired to normal life with the Occasional Mashup and Party set for various people. Influences were from the hip hop era like Kurtis Blow , DJ Cool Herc ,Grandmaster Flash, Melle Mel , Funkadelic ,James Brown, Stetsasonic ,Dr Dre (NWA) Soul Sonic Force (Africa Bambaata) and the visionaries of that era.So an early Hip Hop Influence for Marky P and its now all intertwined with Funk Soul Boogie and New school Cool jams bringing flavours across 5 decades.. Still having that funky itch vibe he started hi Mashups again after meeting up with his old Friend Roy C (Soundchaser) in about 2008/9 (being at college with Roy back in 85-87) and his good friend DJ Connie (runtings crew) from the original CenterForce FM in London. His show is The Paradise Sessions on Wednesdays from 8 till 10pm GMT Many Thanks for reading.

On this episode of Against Everyone with Conner Habib, I talk with esoteric author and scholar MARK BOOTH (AKA Jonathan Black), whose excellent new book, THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE: HOW ANCIENT WISDOM MADE THE WORLD, traces the occult influences found in modern science, especially the science of physics.Mark's book is not just an outline of confluences. In other words, it's not one of many books already available which seem to validate spiritual wisdom with modern science. Instead, it is something more singular and more needed for our time. It shows how esoteric ideas and thinkers, seers and magicians, intersected with scientists as they developed the theories that live in our own scientific worldviews. Mark is also the author of one of the best introductions to real esoteric perspectives, The Secret History of the World , as well as The Sacred History: How Angels, Mystics and Higher Intelligence Made Our World and the ebook, The Secret History of Dante: Unearthing the Real-Life Mysteries of the Inferno.Mark has been a dream guest for me since I started this show over eight years ago. Although we spoke a few times in the intervening years, I'm so excited that we finally got to talk in this capacity, for the podcast.But we weren't alone! In a perfect example of spiritual entanglement, when Mark brought up the physicist Wolfgang Pauli - famed for the so-called Pauli effect or shorting out technology wherever he went - our recoding crashed completely, and we had to restart the call. Luckily, it's still all intact for you!

Sean and Mark dive into another Influences episode, this time about the Punisher Comics and specifically the short Punisher Armory series. These were a big influence on Sean and we spend some time talking about the knife-related content in these comics and the artist Eliot R. Brown. Fascinating stuff and what reads like a love letter from Eliot about the state of the art of knives and gear of the era. Hope you enjoy it!

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks—the podcast where host James Andrew Cox battles depression with the healing power of song. In today's episode, James sits down with New Jersey‑born singer‑songwriter Greg Amici, a musician who literally sang his way out of a 16‑year silence after a vocal‑cord injury forced him off the stage.Greg shares the story of his early love for vinyl classics—from Steely Dan and The Who to XTC and The Kinks—how those influences shaped his own witty, heart‑on‑sleeve style, and why he calls his breakthrough solo record Tragicomic “lyrics first, tragedy meets comedy.” Listeners will hear behind‑the‑scenes tales of the NJ/NY underground scene, the eye‑opening moment he discovered a polyp on his vocal cord, the long road back to CMJ, and the creative process behind his standout track “Girl Next Door.”From nostalgic debates about Beatles vs. Stones to a lightning‑round of coffee vs. tea, the conversation stays candid, funny, and deeply personal—exactly the kind of musical therapy James promised. Whether you're a DIY artist, a longtime fan, or simply looking for a reminder that music can pull you through the darkest chapters, this episode delivers inspiration, humor, and a fresh look at what it means to keep singing when words fall short.Stay tuned, press play, and let Greg's story remind you: music is the one aspect of life that keeps us wanting to live as long as we can.

Identity influences customer behavior, brand trust, and growth far more than most brands realize. In this episode of Frictionless Growth Lab, Sonia Thompson explores why consumers are constantly asking one question—consciously or subconsciously: "Is this for someone like me?" Drawing on personal stories, behavioral science, customer experience strategy, and real-world research, Sonia explains why identity is always present in the customer journey, how it shapes purchasing decisions, and why brands that fail to recognize it create friction they often can't see. You'll learn: • Why identity is the operating system every customer is already running• How identity influences customer behavior and decision-making• Why consumers evaluate brands through the lens of belonging and relevance• The hidden connection between identity, brand trust, and customer experience• Where identity creates friction across acquisition, consideration, experience, and loyalty• Why many brands miss identity-related friction—even when they have good intentions• The difference between customer intimacy and studied familiarity• How mosaic marketing helps brands attract, convert, and retain more customers If you've ever wondered why some customers immediately connect with a brand while others quietly walk away, this episode will give you a framework for understanding what's happening—and what to do about it. Because customers don't arrive at your brand without an identity. They arrive with one. And the brands that grow are the ones that learn how to design for the people they serve.

Full shownotes, transcript, and resources here: https://soundbitesrd.com/311                            We hear a lot of bold claims about food and eating behavior: certain foods are "addictive," ultraprocessed foods are driving obesity, and eating something sweet only makes you crave more sweets. We're also told we can retrain our taste buds for things like salt and sugar, but is that really true? With the rise of GLP-1 medications and growing conversations around "food noise," it's becoming clear that appetite, cravings, and weight regulation are far more complex than many people realize. So what's really driving our eating behaviors? How much is shaped by biology versus our environment or psychology? And what factors influence hunger, fullness, food preferences, and ultimately—how much we eat? Tune in to this Sound Bites® Podcast episode with Dr. Rick Mattes to learn about: the concept of palatability and hyperpalatability the truth about "addictive" foods the role of appetite in GLP-1 medication effects the importance and generality of hedonic shifts various aspects of appetite regulation sensory science, taste function, texture and food form food noise vs. food cue reactivity brand new research on protein and satiety
