Podcasts about Instinct

AI news this week: Personal AI agents like Instinct and Meta's Muse now book your repairs, make your calls and talk to other agents. We let one into our life. On today's AI For Humans, Kevin Pereira and Gavin Purcell dig into the week personal AI agents got real. Gavin has been living with Instinct, the viral assistant that just raised a ton on money while still in private testing. It works over text, WhatsApp and now actual phone calls, people are using it to schedule dryer repairs, and this week a stranger's Instinct asked to talk to Gavin's Instinct. It also handed out Kevin's personal info by default because it was a lil over-eager, which is where Kevin's finger wag (and the terms of service) come in. Then there's Muse, Meta's new personal agent that lives in its own app and inside WhatsApp, how it's different from OpenClaw, and the rumors that OpenAI's version is close. Also: everyone suddenly wants to slow AI down. Dario Amodei published "We Must Pace the Frontier," Sam Altman said he agrees, Demis Hassabis said it points to the right path, Elon Musk said "Dario is right," and the White House is not on board. We try to make sense of why this is happening now (recursive self-improvement, the Hugging Face incident, and Sam talking up an unreleased model that's crushing math) and what it means for you. OpenAI also shared a new framework for publicly reporting model misalignment. Plus: Jev from TypeSafe AI is a new sort of model. It's not a chatbot. It makes fast typed decisions in 70 to 500 milliseconds, which means it can play Doom and Mario in real time, trade stocks, fly a drone and power a lil game called Jev Hero. And in AI See What You Did There: Claude Opus 5 makes really cool JavaScript animations (Gavin tried it too), the AI Seinfeld videos are getting good, and MiniMax nails micro expressions. MY AI WILL CALL YOUR AI. PLEASE DON'T GIVE IT MY SOCIAL. // Show Links // Instinct https://instinct.com/ TechCrunch: Instinct's AI assistant is raising privacy and security concerns https://techcrunch.com/2026/08/24/instincts-powerful-ai-assistant-is-raising-privacy-and-security-concerns/ Gavin's Instinct experience, continued https://x.com/gavinpurcell/status/2100016746631721459 Instinct scheduled a dryer repair https://x.com/eliweisss/status/2098918455957189107 Instinct can now handle phone calls https://x.com/noahrshinn/status/2100262985491231101 Meta introduces Muse, its personal AI agent https://about.fb.com/news/2026/09/introducing-muse-personal-ai-agent/ Sam Altman's tease (OpenAI's version is a rumor, not confirmed) https://x.com/sama/status/2100351958167220547 Sam Altman on the unreleased model beating all the math https://x.com/rohanpaul_ai/status/2100144714251198466 Dario Amodei: We Must Pace the Frontier https://darioamodei.com/post/we-must-pace-the-frontier Sam Altman agrees with Dario https://x.com/sama/status/2098811563415150910 Demis Hassabis on pacing the frontier https://x.com/demishassabis/status/2098909516582490602 Elon Musk at the All-In Summit https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2099737765260763348 OpenAI's framework for reporting model misalignment https://openai.com/index/model-misalignment-reporting-framework/ Kim's New Book: Write a Novel in 100 Days https://kimpurcell.com/ TypeSafe AI introduces System One models and Jev https://typesafe.ai/blog/introducing-system-one-models-and-jev https://x.com/CompleteSkeptic/status/2099925682726002904 Jev plays Doom in real time https://x.com/CompleteSkeptic/status/2099925687465570372 Jev plays Mario https://x.com/faadilhshaik/status/2100086301894881578 Jev as a real-time stock buyer and seller https://x.com/jarrodwatts/status/2100356151468585346 Jev organizing and filtering types of words (with demo) https://x.com/stevekrouse/status/2100287368221659289 https://typesafe-demo.val.run/ Jev drone traversal https://x.com/EGafni/status/2100386169100149229 Jev Hero https://jevhero.val.run/ Pause Gate, told through fruit https://x.com/charliebcurran/status/2099981045655556370 Claudio of Anthropos https://x.com/arikuschnir/status/2100555376856830381 Claude Opus 5 makes really cool JavaScript animations https://x.com/kevin_t_ngo/status/2099858454043349342 Gavin's Claude takes a shot at it https://x.com/gavinpurcell/status/2100404534514536955 The AI Seinfeld videos are getting good https://x.com/rydudebro/status/2100055497751646320 MiniMax micro expressions https://x.com/SD_Tutorial/status/2097966014239781051   // Join the AI For Humans community // Join the AI For Humans Discord https://discord.gg/muD2TYgC8f Support AI For Humans on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/AIForHumansShow Subscribe to the AI For Humans newsletter https://aiforhumans.beehiiv.com/ Follow AI For Humans on X: @AIForHumansShow https://x.com/AIForHumansShow Follow AI For Humans on TikTok: @aiforhumansshow https://www.tiktok.com/@aiforhumansshow Speaking and booking https://www.aiforhumans.show/    

Finally, a full house week where Sam is back from New York and the squad is back for a full dive into this week's AI drama. Anthropic's Dario wrote a long essay calling for the AI race to slow down, weeks before a multi-trillion dollar IPO. Dave's read: Anthropic must be losing. Sam's read: the labs are bad businesses with no compounding advantage, so regulatory capture is the only move left. Also this week: Sam's theory that OpenAI and Anthropic only become valuable as defense companies holding unreleased models in reserve, the poly-agent debate over whether normal people want one agent or ten, Instinct raising at $10 billion two weeks after $2.5 billion, and why everyone in the Valley is trading instead of investing.In this episode:- Why Dave thinks Dario's slowdown essay is a sign Anthropic is falling behind, and what OpenRouter's data shows- Sam on why there's no return on being first, and why that pushes the labs toward regulatory capture- Brit on what's real in the safety debate, and the damned-if-you-do problem of racing China- What DeepMind's new boss and Satya Nadella think about building safety alongside the product- Sam's three eras of tech policy, from Bill Gates to embrace and extend- The defense company thesis: zero-day models held back like nuclear weapons in silos- Alignment's next frontier: is your agent working for you, or for the lab that made it?- Instinct's $10B round, OpenRouter's exit, and why Sam says he's "currently wrong" as a seed investorChapters:00:00 Intro01:02 Not Dead Yet From the AGI03:31 Jacob Coxon Quits Anthropic and Goes on a Media Tour04:47 Dario's Slowdown Essay: Is Anthropic Just Losing?06:13 Astra, OpenRouter, and DeepSeek Closing the Gap06:45 Why the AI Labs Have No Compounding Advantage07:29 Independent Assessors, Bioweapons, and Racing China09:07 You Don't Need Superintelligence to Break the Banks10:23 What DeepMind's New Boss and Satya Think About Safety12:32 OpenAI's $1.5T Raise and the IPO That Keeps Slipping13:03 Three Eras of Tech Policy: Gates, Google, Embrace and Extend15:02 What DC Really Thinks About Anthropic15:42 Should the Labs Red Team Each Other's Models?18:42 Sam's Take: The AI Labs End Up as Defense Companies20:54 10,000 Superintelligences in Silos21:38 Alignment: Does Your Agent Work for You or the Lab?23:44 The Poly-Agent Future: Muse, Grok, and Claude24:47 Brit Pushes Back: Normal People Only Want One Agent26:38 Oura's Agent Explains Jess's Sleep Data28:40 Instinct Raising at $10B: Are These Numbers Fake?30:40 Everyone's Trading, Nobody's Investing33:27 Sam Built a Torah and Talmud App With Claude35:28 Apple Eyes the Server Business Again35:58 Sleep Age Wars: 8 Sleep, Oura, and Made-Up Scores37:22 Entertaining Ourselves to Death41:01 Building the Things Nobody Else Will Build43:07 Tech's Democrat Problem: Jay Carney and Ron Conway48:25 Doctor Strangelove and Not Looking at the Big Board49:53 Pop Culture: Emmys, Taylor Swift, Silo, and Rogue Heroes52:15 The WTF Lineup and the One-Name Theory54:20 The Information's Most Influential People in TechWe're also on:X: https://twitter.com/moreorlesspodInstagram: https://instagram.com/moreorlessSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2CJdt6HhJ8ioNkbqqVKckCApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-or-less-from-the-morins-and-the-lessins/id1692234179Connect with us here:1) Sam Lessin: https://x.com/lessin2) Dave Morin: https://x.com/davemorin3) Jessica Lessin: https://x.com/Jessicalessin4) Brit Morin: https://x.com/britAbout More or Less: For 15 years, the Morins and the Lessins have debated the future of Silicon Valley as the closest of friends.

In this episode of Business Brain, Dave hands ten grand to an AI and gets out of its way. The proceeds from his domain sale became a 90-day experiment: Claude designed a static, formulaic trading system — 60% crypto, 40% equities, running through MCP connectors into Kraken and Alpaca — with lightweight weekly check-ins, a heavyweight strategy review at day 45, and a 48-hour rule that lets the system act if he doesn’t respond. Day 69, up 11%. But the number isn’t the win. The win is an operation where the founder is no longer the bottleneck and the emotion has been engineered out entirely, right down to cutting a 25% loser without waiting for a recovery that may never come. Shannon’s running his own version, parking creator revenue in X Money at 6% until it’s big enough to deploy. Then Shannon walks you through Instinct, a private-beta assistant with no app at all — it lives in your text messages. It read his insurance renewal, caught his son listed as primary driver on a new truck to the tune of $3,118, and drafted the email to his agent. Then it spotted his wife’s girls’ trip on the calendar and had flowers and a charcuterie board on her doorstep by three o’clock Friday. We get into what it costs you to build this yourself versus letting someone else own the infrastructure, and why your job is quietly shifting from doing to conducting. The takeaway: don’t wait for the perfect tool. Start now, learn what genuinely matters to you, and accept that your assistant will miss a few things while it learns you. That’s the charmed life on the other side of a little experimentation. 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs' Podcast #789 for Casual FridAI, September 18th, 2026 September 18th: National Tradesmen Day 00:01:40 Dave's Barbell AI Investing Update X Money 00:10:04 SPONSOR: SomniPods 3 sleep earbuds from Fitnexa: Flat enough to sleep on, and the app is the real prize: https://go.fitnexa.com/brain automatically applies $10 off (or use code BRAIN). 00:11:37 SPONSOR: Hims.

What if there is nothing about you that needs healing, and the problem is that you were never honored in the first place? This week on the Glow Up, Gyrl Podcast, Kyra sits down with Jo Kelly, an instinct and truth resetter who has spent close to thirty years helping people move back through their conditioning toward instinct, freedom, and their own humanity. She works with artists, creative leaders, and athletes, and she describes what she does simply: helping adults be kids again. Jo is also the director of the documentary Why Isn't Everyone Dancing? It started during her cancer treatment. She caught sight of herself in the mirror one morning, naked, about to shower, on her way to radiation, and dancing. She kept dancing. In the car with the windows down. Through the hospital corridor. In front of the radiation room door. When the nurses opened it, they told her they had watched the whole thing on camera, and she saw more joy on their faces than she had seen in weeks. In this episode: Why the pacifier is the first thing we hand a crying baby, and what that teaches How school trains children out of their own instincts Why the pressure to please falls harder on women Feelings are not to be fixed or healed, they are to be honored The tree with no branches, and what happens when a human gets the same treatment Being interested versus trying to be interesting Why cutting the weeds never works if the root stays Dancing through cancer treatment, and the instruction that became a documentary The strangers who joined her, and the ones who crossed the street Why twenty people end up hugging by the end of her first workshop day Presence instead of confidence, and why the difference matters Whether you have been performing rather than living, carrying feelings you were taught to swallow, or just curious what you were like before the world got hold of you, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

I'm talking with developmental psychologist Dr. Peter Gray about his new book, Restoring Childhood: How to Set Kids Free in the Age of Anxiety, which challenges one of the dominant narratives about the youth mental health crisis: that smartphones and social media are largely to blame for the rise in anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges among kids. Peter argues that this picture is incomplete, and that when we look more closely at the data and at what has changed in childhood over the past several decades, a very different story emerges.  So today we dig into what Peter believes we're missing when we focus so much attention on screens, including the rise of intensive parenting and overprotection, the loss of independence and free play, and especially the increasingly stressful and demanding role that school plays in children's lives. We also talk about why kids need unstructured time, autonomy, and opportunities to take age-appropriate risks, and Peter shares practical ideas for giving our kids more freedom to build confidence, resilience, and a stronger sense of agency. ​ About Dr. Peter Gray  Dr. Peter Gray is a research professor of psychology and neuroscience at Boston College. He has conducted and published research in neuroendocrinology, developmental psychology, anthropology, and education. He did his undergraduate study at Columbia University and earned a Ph.D. in biological sciences at Rockefeller University. His current research and writing focus primarily on children's natural ways of learning and the life-long value of play. He has helped found and continues to support nonprofit organizations aimed at bringing more play and independent activity to children's lives.He is the author of an internationally acclaimed college introductory psychology textbook (Psychology, now in its 8th edition), which views all of psychology from an evolutionary perspective, and of Free to Learn: Why Unleashing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our Children Happier, More Self-Reliant, and Better Students for Life. Things you'll learn from this episode  How Peter Gray defines childhood as a gradual process of growing independence, autonomy, and responsibility Why the rise of intensive parenting and overprotection has reduced kids' freedom and may be contributing to increased stress and anxiety How Common Core and increasingly demanding, high-pressure school environments have fundamentally changed children's experience of childhood Why Peter argues that school pressure and the loss of independence may be bigger drivers of the youth mental health crisis than smartphones and social media How free play, self-directed activity, and opportunities to take age-appropriate risks build confidence, resilience, and agency What parents can do to give kids more freedom, independence, and control over their own lives Resources mentioned Dr. Peter Gray's website Dr. Peter Gray's Substack Restoring Childhood: How to Set Kids Free in the Age of Anxiety by Dr. Peter Gray Free to Learn: Why Unleashing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our Children Happier, More Self-Reliant, and Better Students for Life by Dr. Peter Gray A Historic Settlement Over Social Media Addiction (The Daily podcast) Let Grow   Protect your loved ones without spying on them.

What happens when artificial intelligence moves beyond processing information and begins interpreting human behavior, emotion, intent, and risk? In this episode, we explore The AI Instinct with Rana Gujral, AI entrepreneur, CEO of Behavioral Signals, and author of The AI Instinct: The Future of AI and Human Decision-Making, released August 31, 2026. Rana brings a unique perspective shaped by years at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cognitive science, voice technology, and human behavior. His work explores how AI can analyze signals such as tone, emotion, intent, and risk—and what happens when these capabilities begin influencing the decisions people make. In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore: • How AI is changing the way humans make decisions • The relationship between artificial intelligence and human cognition • What Cognitive AI can reveal about emotion, intent, and behavior • How voice and behavioral signals can help identify risk and understand human intent • The evolution of today's AI systems toward AGI and more advanced forms of intelligence • What the future of human-AI decision-making could look like As CEO of Behavioral Signals, Rana works on AI systems that analyze speech and behavioral signals to help organizations understand intent, emotion, and risk. His career spans technology entrepreneurship, product innovation at Logitech, AI, robotics, cybersecurity, and voice intelligence. If you're interested in the future of AI, human behavior, cognitive intelligence, voice technology, and the increasingly complex relationship between humans and machines, this conversation offers a fascinating look at where intelligence may be heading next.

Sunday Edition Presents: THE PRACTICE OF HAPPY CONVERSATION FOUR PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS Over the past four weeks, The Practice of Happy has explored happiness from several different directions. What is happiness? How do we recognize it? How can happiness exist alongside grief, anger, frustration, fear, disappointment, joy, hope, excitement and everything else that makes up a full emotional life? How do relationships, expectations, outside influences, internal reactions and the voices in our own heads shape the way we experience a moment? And perhaps most importantly, what do we actually do with all of that? In this final conversation, we move from discussion into practice. ❤️

SED News is a monthly podcast from Software Engineering Daily where hosts Gregor Vand and Sean Falconer break down the biggest stories shaping software engineering, Silicon Valley, and the broader tech industry. In this end-of-summer episode, Gregor and Sean turn to a busy season of mergers and acquisitions, including NVIDIA‘s reported $12.9 billion acquisition of Hugging Face, Dynatrace‘s near-billion-dollar deal for AI observability platform Arize, and Temporal‘s rumored raise at a $12 billion valuation. They also cover a run of large funding rounds, from AI security startup HiddenLayer to AI personal assistant Instinct and restaurant software platform Owner.com, all against the backdrop of a deluge of new model releases. The main topic digs into China’s “transfer station” economy, the sprawling proxy market that gives developers cheap access to frontier models officially banned in the country. Drawing on a China Talk report, they walk through the tactics at play, from “one fish, three meals” credit farming to silent model swapping, and unpack how this pipeline of captured outputs and human traces may be fueling the recent surge in high-quality open weight models. Gregor and Sean also examine where Meta now sits in the landscape after shelving Llama and pivoting toward its Muse family. As always, the episode wraps up with a few standout Hacker News threads, including a critique of how log-scale charts obscure the real cost gap between open weight and frontier models, and a look at “invisible companies” as an under-the-radar investment strategy.

We're continuing our 9-part Human Design Center Series, and this week we're talking about the Spleen Center.The Spleen is associated in Human Design with intuition, instinct, awareness, and the body's ability to sense what feels healthy, safe, or correct in the moment.And unlike the emotional wave we talked about in the Solar Plexus, the Spleen is often described as quiet, immediate, and in-the-moment.We'll talk about what it means to have a defined vs. open Spleen, the gifts of both, and why that little intuitive nudge can be so easy to ignore.Because sometimes your mind is saying:“But what if…”while your body has already said:“Nope.”The invitation isn't to become afraid of every little feeling or turn every instinct into a prediction.It's simply to become more aware of that quiet inner knowing and notice when you're listening to it and when you're talking yourself out of it.✨ What if your intuition doesn't need to be louder? What if you just need to get quieter?Let's Glow Brighter.

Kelly shares a piece by her friend Arianna Huffington ("Self-Discovery Is Our Strongest Drive" - New York Times, June 17, 2026) about the drive underneath all our other drives—the pull toward meaning that shows up in our hardest losses and our most exhausting successes. It's a reflection on what psychologist Abraham Maslow called transcendence, and what it means to keep growing toward the truest version of yourself, even when the world tells you success should be enough.

Birth doula and mother of two Carson Meyer joins us to share the story of her second home birth and the very different emotions that came with approaching birth after such a positive first experience.Carson talks about the anxiety she carried in the final weeks of pregnancy, the problem with predicting when labor will begin, and her persistent worry that her midwife might not make it to the birth. We also discuss what it means to feel safe enough to be completely uninhibited in labor, why some women are quiet while others are intensely vocal, and the connection between the jaw, throat, pelvic floor, and the sounds women instinctively make in birth.Carson shares how she prepared her young daughter to be present during labor, what happened when things suddenly began moving much faster than expected, and why her concerns about having her midwife there ultimately proved significant.This is a conversation about trusting birth without pretending it never requires help and about the difference a calm, skilled provider can make when it does.Carson Meyer on InstagramCarson MeyerMake Your Hospital Birth Feel Like HomeSend us Fan MailSupport the showAccess our workshops: Have a Physiologic Birth in the Hospital and Ultrasound: The Research vs RhetoricNeeded

I talk to men every single week often they tell me their good intentions: "She was in pain and I was there. I was present." And I have to applaud them, because that's certainly a win! But I do want to encourage them that presence without words is not enough. Your silence when she's hurting isn't neutral. Unfortunately, it can feel like you don't care. She may even worry that you're judging her. Sadly, she may even feel that her heart doesn't matter to you. I don't think that's what you mean. I think you may just not know what to say. It can feel awkward and risky and you don't want to look stupid. But here's the thing: Jesus wasn't silent. He spoke. He served people with His words. Not to perform. Not to impress. To help them. So here are the words I often invite men to say. It might be worth you writing these down: "Honey, how are you feeling?" "That seems really hard. How are you doing?" "Is there anything you want to share?" Yes, it'll feel awkward. Yes, she might not respond the way you hope. But what you just communicated is: I care about your heart. Do it again next week. And the week after. It compounds. And if you've been wrong, don't just change the behavior. Use words -- don't be silent. I encourage you to apologize. And I invite you to be specific. Own it. Character is revealed more by what you repent of -- even than what you do (Dallas Willard). Silence after conviction isn't golden. It can actually be cowardice wearing a mask. I know I've been there more than I'd like to admit. Listen to this week's episode. Then, say words to show you care. And if you're a graduate ready to get back in the game, Proactive launches with a special graduate kickoff. Discounted price disappears September 10th.

Schedule a free Clarity Call and see if our programs are the right fit for you. PPPS - Here is what (another) recent Coaching Graduate had to say: [before coaching], "My wife would punch her card occasionally thinking it was her duty to perform, which made it worse for both of us. We had slowly lost connection and focus on one another. Life including family, work and ministry took focus on our time and our lives. We were doing everything for everybody else and found ourselves absent of time for each other."[after coaching] "Awareness, understanding, joy, health, compassion, intimacy and godliness Growth of myself and our relationship. Seeing the beauty in my bride. Pursuing it with vigor and not worrying about vulnerability and getting shot down. The program in itself was a major celebration."     Here is an AI-generated summary of today's episode: The Harm Of Silence in Marriage: Why the Words You're Not Saying Are Hurting Your Marriage Silence can be wise. Silence can also be devastating. And if you're a man sitting next to your wife while she's in pain, saying nothing because you "don't know what to say," this episode is for you. Belah gets direct about the difference between powerful silence and painful silence, why men struggle to speak up, and what Jesus modeled about using words to serve the people assigned to you. Over 1,000 Coached Directly DYM recently reviewed the numbers: Belah has personally coached over 1,000 people in just a handful of years. If you're ready for coaching that leads to real transformation, the track record is there. Introducing Proactive: For Graduates and New Clients Maybe you went through a DYM program but fell off the wagon. Maybe the timing wasn't right, the season was hard, and you couldn't fully lock in. Proactive is a brand-new offering: four times less time required than the intensives, but with significant accountability and community. For graduates, there's a discounted price and a dedicated kickoff call. That pricing disappears September 10th. Brand new to DYM? Visit delightyourmarriage.com/cc to talk to a clarity advisor. Silence When You Should Be Speaking Belah hears it constantly from the men she coaches: "She was upset and I was there for her. My presence was enough." Her response: No, it wasn't. When your wife is in pain and you say nothing, here's what she hears: You don't care You're judging her Her feelings don't matter to you The truth? Most men just don't know what to say. They're terrified of looking foolish or making it worse. But silence in that moment is more painful than imperfect words. The Phrases That Change Everything Write these down. Put them somewhere you'll see them: "Honey, how are you feeling?" "That seems really hard. How are you doing?" "Is there anything you want to share?" "I know this is hard for you." Maybe add a touch on the shoulder. It doesn't need to be a monologue. It just needs to show you care about her heart. Will she respond perfectly the first time? Maybe not. Do it again next week anyway. What you're communicating over time is: your feelings matter to me. Jesus Wasn't Silent Jesus was a servant leader. He washed feet. He made breakfast. He spoke, not to perform or to be admired, but to serve the people God assigned to Him. He was assigned to 12. Not the whole crowd. He prayed for them (John 17). He explained parables to them that He didn't explain to the crowds. He rebuked Peter directly: "Get behind me, Satan. You are mindful of the things of man and not the things of God." James says the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, then gentle. But it's not silent. Jesus spoke because speaking was service. Your wife is your first human assignment. Love your neighbor as yourself, and your neighbor is the one under your roof. Why Men Stay Silent (The Fall Guy Illustration) Belah shares a scene from the movie The Fall Guy: a stuntman who can jump through fires but hides himself the moment he feels weak. He breaks off contact with the woman he loves because he can't bear for her to see him as less than strong. His confession later: "I tried so many times to say something, and I couldn't think of the right words. And as I'm trying, the time passes, and then I think it's too late. So I just stay silent." This is the pattern Belah sees in real men, real marriages. They don't want to look silly, weak, or incompetent. And so they say nothing. And the silence becomes a wall. The antidote? Practice. Look a little foolish. Do the Chicken Dance if you have to (yes, Belah used to make men do that on coaching calls). Because if you're not willing to do something new, nothing will change. Character Is Revealed by What You Repent Of Dallas Willard: "Character is often revealed more by what you repent of than what you do." Belah shares a story from her husband's pickup soccer game. A skilled player accidentally stepped on her, hard. What set him apart from every other man on that field? He came over, shook her hand, and said specifically: "I didn't realize it was you. Instinct kicked in. I was too rough. I apologize." That apology made her respect him far more than if he'd just treated her gently in the first place. Owning it is strength, not weakness. The SHORE Apology: Be Specific If you're not specific in your apology, the other person doesn't even know if you understand why they're hurt. A vague "I'm sorry" leaves them wondering: does he even know what he did? Was it your tone? Your timing? Your words? A specific phrase? Belah shares her own example: she brought something up at the wrong time in someone's life. The content wasn't wrong. The tone wasn't wrong. The timing was wrong, and it caused pain. She had to own that specifically. When Silence IS Powerful Not all silence is bad. Sometimes you need to stop talking so the Holy Spirit can do His work. In marriage conflict, the back-and-forth cycle (text after text, argument after argument) often keeps both people justified in their reactions. He does something that makes her feel unsafe, she disrespects him, and it spirals. But if you pause, if you walk yourself into calmness and stop needing the last word, you create space for conviction. The Holy Spirit can work in silence. You don't have to win the argument. You just have to stop feeding the fire. Your Assignment Write down these phrases and use one this week: "How are you feeling?" "That seems hard. How are you doing?" If you owe an apology, go be specific. What exactly did you do? Name it. Practice looking a little silly. New behavior is awkward at first, like learning to ride a bike. Know when to speak and when to be silent. Speak when she's hurting. Be silent when the argument is spiraling. Your marriage is worth the awkwardness. Your legacy depends on it.

Noah Pines spent seven years as a prosecutor in Georgia — weighing sentences, navigating cases, trying to be a fair voice inside a system that does not always reward fairness — before leaving to become a criminal defense attorney and discovering what the justice system looks like from the other side of the courtroom. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what being a Georgia prosecutor really required of him, why he left after seven years to defend the people he used to prosecute, what working Innocence Project cases and overturning twenty year wrongful conviction sentences actually involved, what the current problems with prosecutors in America actually look like from someone who spent seven years inside that world, and what representing people accused of the worst crimes available actually requires of the attorney who takes those cases. _____________________________________________ #lawyer #criminallaw #prosecutor #truecrimepodcast _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

In this episode, recorded live at Milwaukee Pipeline 2026, Cole covers the shift into automotive as an all-in focus, how the team decides what's worth building next, and why trusting instinct over data was key to bets like the Hammer Chisel tool.Watch the video recording on YouTubeAbout the EpisodeHost: Jay Goninen, ASE, jgoninen@ase.comGuest: Cole Conrad, Milwaukee Tool, Cole.Conrad@milwaukeetool.comLinks & ResourcesGet notified of new episodes --> Join our email listMilwaukee PipelineJoin the ASE Connects CommunityASE Connects brings shops, dealerships, and schools together in one structured network to strengthen the technician pipeline.

Abrimos con la belga Angéle y la dulzura de "Une seule vie", una de las canciones de INSTINCT, su próximo disco, construido en torno a la reconexión con la intuición, "esa parte de nosotros que existe antes de las expectativas, la actuación y el ruido externo». Y en la canción, Angèle plantea que solo el amor puede llenar el vacío de nuestra vida y nos anima a aprovechar el tiempo de la mejor manera. Escuchamos también a Dillom, desde Argentina, a L'aranná, desde Ibiza, a los irlancedes Cardinals, a Fontaines D.C., a Amatria, a The Olivia Tremor Control, a Wolf Alice, a Bad Wolves con su recreación de Jolene, de Dolly Parton y a ella, a la gran Dolly Parton con "9 to 5", nuestro clásico del día.

The rapid emergence of AI agents designed to function as intuitive personal assistants for the general public. Startups like Instinct and Town are gaining significant momentum by automating complex daily tasks, such as booking travel and managing organizational data, through familiar communication channels like texting. While venture capitalists have driven Instinct's valuation to $2.5 billion, industry experts remain cautious about the significant privacy trade-offs and the broad legal permissions these autonomous systems require. Critics also argue that while these tools offer convenience, they should not replace human oversight or the need for better design in existing software interfaces. Ultimately, the sources highlight a shift from static AI toward proactive technology that can execute transactions on a user's behalf.

The startup just raised a $26 million Series A to grow its customer base and help reduce red tape for utility and construction work. Also, Instinct is only a year old but it has already generated a massive amount of hype (and money) while also spurring privacy concerns. Learn more about your ad choices.

Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly capable of doing more than processing information. It can recognize patterns, interpret human behavior, influence decisions, and increasingly interact with the world in ways that resemble aspects of human cognition. In this episode, we dive into this complex subject with Rana Gujral, AI entrepreneur, CEO of Behavioral Signals, and author of the upcoming book The AI Instinct: The Future of AI and Human Decision-Making, releasing August 31, 2026. Rana brings a perspective shaped by years of working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cognitive science, voice technology, and human behavior. His work explores how machines can interpret signals such as tone, emotion, intent, and risk — and what happens when these capabilities begin influencing the decisions people make… The conversation explores: How AI is changing the way humans make decisions. The relationship between artificial intelligence and human cognition. What Cognitive AI can reveal about emotion, intent, and behavior. The evolution from today's AI systems toward AGI and more advanced forms of intelligence. As CEO of Behavioral Signals, Rana works on AI systems that analyze speech and behavioral signals to help organizations understand intent, emotion, and risk. His career has also included founding and building technology companies, leading product innovation at Logitech, and working across AI, robotics, cybersecurity, and voice intelligence.

⚠️ Content WarningThis episode contains open discussion about the loss of a child and grief. Please take care of yourself first. If you're not in the right headspace, come back to this one when you're ready.If you need support, call Lifeline on 13 11 14 (available 24/7) or visit lifeline.org.auThis week I sat down with Shaun Tomson, and this one genuinely stopped me in my tracks.Shaun grew up in Durban, South Africa, in a family deeply connected to the ocean. From a young age he was one of the most exciting surfers in the world, and in 1977 he became the IPS World Surfing Champion — one of the most celebrated titles in the history of the sport. He competed on the professional tour for 16 years, winning 19 major pro events, and was named one of the ten greatest surfers of the century by Surfer Magazine. He also revolutionised surfboard design and tube riding, leaving a mark on the sport that is still felt today.But Shaun's story doesn't stop at world titles. After retiring from competition he built successful surf apparel brands, became a passionate environmental advocate through his work with the Surfrider Foundation, and produced the award-winning documentary Bustin' Down the Door — the story of how his generation put professional surfing on the map.And then, in 2006, his teenage son Mathew died during a schoolboy prank gone wrong. By his own words, Shaun was totally lost in grief. What followed was one of the most remarkable acts of transformation I have ever heard — channelling unimaginable loss into a powerful message about resilience, purpose and living with intention. His books, including the bestselling Surfer's Code and The Code, and his keynote speaking work have since inspired everyone from Fortune 500 executives to students across the world.This conversation covers all of it. Shaun is warm, deeply human and one of the most inspiring people I have ever spoken to. This one will stay with you.In this episode we cover:Growing up in Durban, South Africa and falling in love with the oceanHis surfing career and winning the 1977 IPS World Surfing Championship16 years on tour, 19 major pro events and redefining tube ridingRevolutionising surfboard design and his impact on the sportBuilding iconic surf apparel brands Instinct and SolitudeHis environmental advocacy and work with the Surfrider FoundationProducing the award-winning documentary Bustin' Down the DoorThe death of his son Mathew and navigating unimaginable griefHow loss became the catalyst for his greatest purposeHis bestselling books Surfer's Code and The CodeHis keynote speaking and the Code Leadership MethodWhat he wants people to take from his storyIf this episode brought something up for you help is always there:

Early testers are raving about what Instinct can do, but some say the AI assistant's sweeping access, broad terms and ability to act on users' behalf come with uncomfortable trade-offs Also, Hugging Face has reportedly been fielding acquisition offers that would value the company at around $13B. But with the founders' feeling of responsibility to community, doubts arise as to whether a sale will happen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Think about the last time you faced a major change or setback. Who did you turn to? That instinct, that pull toward others when things get hard, isn't weakness, it's strategy. Carlee Wolfe, a global leader in talent and organizational effectiveness at Hyatt Hotels Corporation, joins host Sreemedha to talk about why community may be the most underrated tool in leadership and change, what it actually looks like to lean on your network instead of pretending to have all the answers, and how to keep human connection alive even as AI reshapes how we work. About the Guest: Carlee Wolfe is Associate Vice President of Leader Development and Organizational Effectiveness at Hyatt Hotels Corporation, with more than 20 years of experience in talent management, leadership development, and change management. Her background includes leadership roles at Under Armour and the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee, and she coaches leaders and job seekers on navigating change with clarity, curiosity, and confidence. Key Takeaways: The old idea that leaders must have all the answers is outdated, openness about what you don't know yet can be a strength, not a weakness. Build your own "personal board of directors," the 5 to 7 people closest to you who shape your life, and revisit who's on it every six months. When you feel isolated, get curious first: why does this feel this way right now, and what am I trying to do that feels solitary? Community isn't just your closest circle, it includes coworkers, coaches, and even online spaces where you learn and engage. With AI reshaping work, the human edge is intentional collaboration, using AI as a tool while doubling down on how teams think and innovate together.

Our Top 10 for today: #MyFirstInstinct

There's a particular kind of quiet worry that comes with being Childfree, the suspicion that everyone else received some piece of wiring you're missing. Dr. Amy Blackstone spent her mid-30s certain she was broken as a woman, and she went looking for the research to explain what had gone wrong with her. What she found became her life's work. There is no maternal instinct waiting to switch on, and the majority of Childfree people she interviewed had opted out for a reason that genuinely surprised her: they watched their parents do it well, understood exactly what good parenting asks of a person, and chose to put their energy somewhere else. She joins Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP® for a conversation that runs from the political noise around falling birth rates to what the research actually says about regret, and lands on the thing that reframes everything. If you feel wrong, it may be because you've been measuring yourself against the wrong population.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why there is no scientific basis for the maternal instinct, and how the absence of that supposed pull leaves so many people convinced something is wrong with themThe biggest surprise in Dr. Amy Blackstone's research, that most Childfree people she interviewed had good childhoods and opted out precisely because they saw how much good parenting requiresWhat the research actually shows about regret, why the distinction between Childfree and Childless matters so much, which group does report unhappiness later in life, and how that compares to the share of parents who regret having kidsWhy measuring your life against the standard life script guarantees you'll feel like you're doing it wrong, and how comparing yourself to the right population changes the entire pictureHow stigma around the Childfree choice has shifted over the decades, what today's pronatalist politics and policy fights look like, and why roughly a quarter of the country remains almost entirely underservedResources Mentioned: Laura Carroll, Childfree author and advocate who revitalized International Childfree Day: https://childfreeinsights.com/resources/podcast/episode-74/ Marcia Drut-Davis, author of Confessions of a Childfree Woman:https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marcia-Drut-Davis/author/B08429L4CL The Childfree Path to a Healthier Planet | Jay Zigmont, PhD, MBA, CFP® | TEDxWilsonPark: https://youtu.be/ltZpfHCpHPg?si=38LrZlkf4oMGWyE8 Episode Guest:Dr. Amy Blackstone is a public sociologist who studies and writes about reproductive justice, population trends, workplace sexual harassment, activism and other forms of civic engagement, power and politics, and any other topic that strikes her fancy, hits the news, or gets myopic dingdongs with too much power riled up. In recent years, much of her focus has been dedicated to the COVID-19 pandemic and what's been left in its wake: a silent but no less crushing aftershock, an illness known as Long COVID, that has claimed millions, snatching her from public life, while the world carries on as if nothing has happened. Her book, CHILDFREE BY CHOICE (Penguin Random House) enraged pronatalists the world over, a career highlight. Dr. Blackstone worked as a professor of sociology at the University of Maine for a quarter century and she now looks forward to a future of retirement and troublemaking.Connect with Dr. Amy Blackstone:Website: amyblackstonephd.com Instagram: instagram.com/a.maria.blackstone/ Childfree by Choice by Dr. Amy Blackstone https://www.amazon.com/stores/Amy-Blackstone/author/B07T7TM4DT Episode Host:Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP® (he/him) is the Founder of Childfree Wealth, a life and financial planning firm dedicated to helping people simplify their finances so they can live an amazing Childfree life.
