Podcasts about instincts

Back in 2007, Mark Pincus had a gut feeling that adults would play games on their phones if they were just woven into their daily lives. On that instinct, he founded Zynga and built the biggest games of the early social internet — including FarmVille, Words With Friends, and Zynga Poker. Four years later, they had over a billion users. Safe to say, Mark's instincts were right. But according to Mark, that's where a lot of leaders lose the plot. They have the right instincts but then put the wrong ideas around those instincts. They try to change too much. They don't iterate quickly. Or worst of all, their culture doesn't let people be intellectually honest about what's not working.  In this conversation, you'll see how to avoid those mistakes with Mark's “Proven-Better-New” framework for designing products. Plus, he opens up about his (very public) fall from Silicon Valley's graces and the surprising freedom that came with it. It's a must-listen conversation for anyone who's building something – whether that's a company, a product, or a team. This episode is for you if: You want to develop products people love You want to have more fun at work (or hey, just in general) You're trying to build a culture that's intellectually honest You're navigating a low point in your career or company Take your learning further.

Midlands Correspondent, Sinead Hussey reports on a Westmeath woman, Jane Swarbrigg, who has been diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer and is calling for people to trust their instincts if they feel something is wrong.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"The more complicated something is, the less likely we are to be consistent with it, and consistency is what gets us from where we are to where we want to be. So, what keeps me always coming back to the uncomplicated and the simple is because that's what creates consistency, and it is the consistency that determines our health outcomes." —Jenn Trepeck Simple wellness isn't the beginner version of health. It's the version that lasts, and health and lifestyle coach Jenn Trepeck makes that case with Justine Reichman in a conversation for anyone who has spent years being handed a new diet and told to try harder. Jenn grew up the skinny one in a family of dieters, with a torso photo on the fridge and Nutrisystem snacks in the cupboard. After gaining weight between high school and college, she had to recover from the industry that promised to fix her. What changed things was learning human biology instead of following another plan. Together they unpack epigenetics, why hunger is a whisper worth relearning, and why guidelines beat rules every time. You'll also hear about the 2005 moment, requesting her own vacation days in a work system, that pushed Jenn toward coaching. She built her practice on the side for 12 years before leaving hedge funds. Then the conversation turns to midlife, where the rules shift for women and men alike, and Jenn closes with a plate formula you can use at home or at any restaurant. Two questions filter any health advice: does this make sense with what I know about biology, and does it make sense with what I know about myself? The human genome is 99.9% the same person to person, but that remaining 0.1%, amplified by stress, sleep, hormones, and lived experience, is why someone else's plan can't be yours. Hunger is the body's whisper and pain is the scream, and years of dieting teach us to ignore the whisper. If your plan has you opting out of life, it isn't a plan for life. Guidelines, not gospel. Consistency determines health outcomes, and the more complicated a plan gets, the less likely you are to stick with it. Midlife isn't a personal failure. When what used to work stops working, your biochemistry has changed, and men go through hormone shifts too (andropause). Build a plate anywhere with protein, fiber, and quality fat, and treat grains, starches, and dairy as condiments rather than the main event. Meet Jenn:   Jenn Trepeck is a health and lifestyle coach, host of the award-winning podcast, Salad with a Side of Fries, and author of Uncomplicating Wellness. After years of dealing with food issues made worse by the diet industry, Jenn changed direction. Now she helps women feel seen instead of judged in a wellness world that's gone off the rails.

Welcome to the Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, hosted by Drs. James Hawkins, Ph.D., LPC, and Ryan Rana, Ph.D., LMFT, LPC—Renowned ICEEFT Therapists, Supervisors, and Trainers. We're thrilled to have you with us. We believe this podcast, a valuable resource, will empower you to push the boundaries in your work, helping individuals and couples connect more deeply with themselves and each other. How can therapists help a partner respond to vulnerability without supplying the “right” answer? In this episode, Dr. James Hawk and Dr. Ryan Rana explore how to use somatic cues in EFT's Tango Move Four to invite the caregiving system forward. They discuss why broad questions can sometimes lead a partner away from the other person's pain, how noticing a shaky voice or tear can open a more embodied response, and why clients' own instincts matter. The conversation also returns to a central balance: nuance matters, but it must serve attunement. Top 10 takeaways Start with attunement. The best intervention depends on what just happened and what the clients are experiencing in that moment. Use somatic questions when the vulnerability is deep. A shaky voice, tears, or visible hesitation may offer a meaningful opening to the caregiving partner. Make the partner's pain specific. Naming what the caregiver just saw or heard can help focus attention on their partner's experience. Broad questions can open the wrong door. “What came up for you?” may lead someone into their own story or attachment needs rather than toward their partner's pain. Invite, don't prescribe. Asking what a partner notices in their body—and what that sensation might be urging them to do—can help uncover their own response. Trust clients' innate capacity to care. The goal is to help clients reconnect with an existing instinct, not to install a therapist-provided script. Organic responses can build trust. A response that comes from the partner may feel more genuine and sustainable than one they were coached to deliver. Be patient with a blocked or hesitant response. Curiosity, validation, and repeated invitations may help a caregiver notice what is happening inside. Help both partners register the moment. When care is offered and received, slow down to explore its impact on each person. Balance nuance with attunement. Technique can sharpen the work, but over-focusing on technique—or relying on attunement without enough clinical options—can miss opportunities. We aim to equip therapists with practical tools and encouragement for addressing relational distress.

What happens when you take control of your own story? For the 300th episode of The DTALKS Podcast, Joe welcomes back two previous guests for two very different conversations about identity, storytelling, survival, and the stories we tell about ourselves. First, actor Nicole Pacent joins the show to talk about stepping into the role of Mystique in Marvel's Wolverine. Nicole discusses making an iconic character her own, the freedom of performance capture, bringing pieces of herself into Raven, representation, vulnerability, and what it means to reach a career-defining role after nearly two decades of work. Then, Survivor alum, writer, and podcaster Stephen Fishbach returns to discuss his debut novel, Escape! Stephen takes us behind the curtain of reality television to explore fame, the strange desire to stay relevant after appearing on TV, the relationship between contestants and producers, and what happens when someone else is helping shape the story you're telling about yourself. Two conversations. Two very different worlds. And a fitting celebration of 300 episodes spent trying to better understand how other people experience theirs. Enjoy!

After pursuing a degree in contemporary dance, Jenn reinvented her career several times to evolve with her burgeoning family. However, her trajectory would forever change in 2015 when she found a folder of videos on her partner-at-the-time's computer. The videos showed her an alternate reality to the one she was living in, and life as she knew it changed forever. As a result, she would eventually seek justice within the criminal legal system, and cultivate her own sense of justice outside of it.  This led her to begin vulnerably sharing her experiences in her social media-based series, Tiny Kitchen Dances, which then led to the making of her documentary, Tiny Movements. The Broken Cycle Media team is so grateful Jenn was willing to share her story so powerfully and eloquently for the sake of our audience's awareness.Support Jenn:- Jenn's Website: https://www.jenniferwilenta.com/- Jenn's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tinykitchendances/- Tiny Movements Film: https://www.tinymovementsfilm.com/- Tiny Movements on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tinymovementsfilm/For a list of related resources and non-profit organizations that can help, please visit http://www.somethingwaswrong.com/resourcesThank you again to Lola Blankets & Honeylove for sponsoring this episode.

When Instincts Exceed Their Proper Function Our instincts are not bad. Fear can protect us. Anger can tell us something matters. The need for security, comfort, approval, and connection are all part of being human. The problem begins when those instincts start running the show. Today we're talking about what happens when fear becomes control, anger becomes resentment, self-protection becomes isolation, and our natural instincts grow beyond their proper function. Recovery is not about getting rid of our instincts. It is about learning to recognize them, bring them back into balance, and make better choices instead of being driven by them. #TheDailyTrudge #Recovery #AlcoholicsAnonymous #Instincts #SelfAwareness #EmotionalSobriety #Fear #Anger #SpiritualGrowth

In a single year, Sharon Stone was nominated for awards for both Best Actress and Worst Actress – for the same role. She launched a million sexual awakenings with one quick display in Basic Instinct. Her performance in that film was so vivid that it inspired stalkers to track her down. It may have even served as the inspiration for one fan to commit murder, cannibalism, and necrophilia. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including graphic depictions of violence.

Hey yall, welcome back to ThursdAI, this is Alex, let me catch you up! Today on the show, we covered 1 week with Astra (hint, it's not quite AGI yet despite what we were told), DeepSeek V4.1 catches up to the frontier at a fraction of the cost, and Meta launches a free AI agent with it's own computer, that will take over the OpenClaw/Hermeses of the world for most people. Also huge this week, OpenAI claimed that a swarm of 10K agents of their unreleased model solved the Navier-Stokes, one of the millennium problems! I was stoked to have Chris Alexiuk from Nvidia on the show to cover the innovations DeepSeek put into this latest model! Oh, and the guy who quit Anthropic this week, and wrote an essay about “AI is going to kill all of us” somehow got 130M views on X, a mirriad of TV interviews and rekindled the doomerism movement, we talk about that too!Also, I already told about FullyConnected, CoreWeave's premier conference that's coming up, but they told me about a new announcement today, and you're not going to believe who it's about (not AI related). As a reminder, ThursdAI subscribers get a free ticket!Ok, let's dive in! ThursdAI - Highest signal weekly AI news show is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.OpenAI claims a Navier-Stokes solution from a 10,000 agent swarm from an unreleased model - with some drama (X, Blog, Paper)If you've been reading ThursdAI for a while, you may remember that a model couldn't tell which is higher, 9.9 or 9.11 and naysayers said that “AI can't math” Well, this week OpenAI claimed that a swarm of 10K agents, of an unreleased model, found a solution to the Navier-Stokes problem, in about 88 hours! They published a huge 160+ page paper and a Lean proof of the solution! I said on the show, this is like the moon landing equivalent of AI doing things humans didn't do before! Now, keep in mind, this is only a claim from OpenAI, the Clay Mathematics Institute is still reviewing it (moved the status of this problem from “unsolved” to “under review” so this isn't independently verified yet) but it's still an insane deal. The agents sent 2.7 million messages and burned about 130B tokens, of a model that has no public price yet, so it's hard to estimate the cost of this run, all for a 1M prize that OpenAI said they will not claim. The coolest thing I think we got from this paper, in addition to solving on of the most important and hardest problems in mathematics, is this chart above, where OpenAI shows their unreleased model and how much better it is on Math problems compared to... GPT-6! The “AGI” model we got just a week ago. So so much to look forward to.The drama behind thisI don't want to get into the drama behind this too much, but if you've seen this online, there release wasn't without it's hiccups. Apparently, OpenAI caught wind that an a duo of researchers Tristan Buckmaster (NYU) and Levent Alpöge (Anthropic, in personal capacity), have independently solved the related Euler problem and were about to go public. Apparently, the duo used a mix of GPT and Claude to work on this problem. OpenAI caught wind of this and started working on their own solution on September 1st. A day before OpenAI dropped their release, Buckmaster posted that OpenAI is about to drop it, and in communications with him, they offered him to co-author the paper, only if the Anthropic guy is removed. To which he said no. He then had some claims that maybe OpenAI trained on some of the papers and chats they put into Codex, which OpenAI refuted, while noting “we cannot rule out the possibility that de-identified usage data helped improve the model”. OpenAI also say that the OptOut toggle works, and neither mathematician provided a screenshot that they opted out of the training, so it's hard to say what really went in thereMy take, I don't really care. Two years ago, we told you that reasoning is coming and AI is going to be doing superhuman things, and we finally see the first signs of it, this is a problem that no humans was able to solve for over 60 years! Navie-Stokes probably doesn't change your friday, but there are so many other that they can solve with this approach! Cancer research, room temperature superconductors (remember LK-99? that's also a search problem) and much more. Kudos to OpenAI for this, and I'm looking forward to see the new heights of mathematics. And for the mathematicians who “disagree” with OpenAI solving or not solving this problem, why don't you post your own Lean proofs instead of fuming publicly online? GPT-6 - Not quite AGI, yet?After a week with Astra GPT-6, and Jensen Huang announcing AGI is here, I think we can do a quick recapI and all the co-hosts have been Astra-maxxing for a whole week now and the results are in. This model is incredible at coding, it goes very very deep, however, definitely not AGI quite yet. It has a very jagged frontier, it does some things incredibly well (most demos online are building whole games and apps in 3D and those are mind-blowing) but I started seeing many folks go back to GPT 5.6 Sol etc. I tink some of it also has to do with price, Astra runs faster and is significantly more expensive so token limits for folks are draining fast, but also with controllability, folks are likely still using their old and unoptimized prompts. Speaking of prompts, here's a great writeup from OpenAI how to rework your prompts (which you can send to Astra and have it review your prompts!) for better resultsThe AI doomerism has quite a week (Coxon post, Thread, Hubinger, Marks, Christiano, An Alien Mind)I started ThursdAI with the notion to counter anti-ai and doomerism, and bring positivity to the AI world, so we had to cover this. An Anthropic employee who previously worked at OpenAI, posted on X about leaving Anthropic, saying that both labs are racing towards uncontrollable self-improving superintelligence and that it could be a disaster of the “end all of humanity” kind.His post sits at 130M impressions (after being basically a nobody on X before) and he's been interviewed by Fox, AP, Time magazine, WSJ, NBC and a host of senators, Bernie (chief doomer) included, reposted his post on the same day! The funniest thing is that this post got about 26x more attention than Ilya Sutskever's post about leaving OpenAI. Just nutsWithin four days, seven current and former employees from Anthropic, OpenAI and DeepMind said in public that they believe that AI could kill us all. Also notable that Paul Christiano, who is one of the most interesting AI doomers out there, has joined the OpenAI foundation, and Daniel Kokotajlo, the famed OpenAI whistle-blower, joined Joe Rogans podcast to talk about AI doom. Each one of these incidents in vacuum is normal, but having all these happen in a a span of a few days just feels, inorganic. Some folks are even saying that this is a well coordinated doomerism campaign! I want to be fair to Coxon, folks who worked with him at OpenAI say he's the real deal, and cares deeply about AI safety and humanity, however, he only worked at Anthropic for 6 weeks before publicly leaving, and now every interview he does sayd “Ex Anthropic employee”. Whether it's a coordinated effort or not, it's still a very important discussion, after the pacingthefrontier letter and the HuggingFace hack incident, and it seems to have made waves. Sam Altman just told staff that he's not opposed to pausing and have petitioned the US government to regulate AI as wellLook, I don't disagree that we're dealing with a very powerful technology, however I don't believe that scaring the bajeesus out of everyone is the right way to handle this. Politicians use fear to get votes and get elected, they don't really care about tech progress, and framing this in a way that “we pause or we're dead” ignores all the good that AI is about to do. Cure cancer, find solutions to climate change, helping solving povery. All these seem like out there ideas but they are coming. The US GDP is already growing at an unprecedented rate and a lot of it is due to AI. In any rate, as I said on the show, I'm not against pausing, just after we solve cancer. Then we can pause and reassess, till then, nobody is telling me how China's government is going to pause if US pauses, and if they don't, they will reach superintelligence before we, and I don't want to live in that world! Open Source AIDeepSeek V4.1 Flash: the whale is back, and it's cheap (X, HF, TokenJuice)Speaking of.. chinese AI! Deepsek (The whale) resurfaced this week with V4.1 Flash, and don't let the name fool you, this is not just a .1 small update. 552B with only 8B active on prefill and 16B on decode, 1M context, trained from scratch on 45T multimodal tokens! plus as always, MIT license. Chris from Nvidia joined us to break it down, and his main point stuck with me: every DeepSeek release comes with one of the best engineering reports you can read, and this one is the most data-pilled they've ever done. The paper basically says it out loud, everything else is nice, but it's the data. 45T tokens isn't a huge number anymore, but the cleaning they describe goes way beyond what anyone else publishes (Chris said even his own beloved Nemotron's open pipelines are less thorough). Yam opened a new corner of the show, “I Told You So”, because DeepSeek went back to an encoder-decoder architecture. Not the old one from before GPT-2, this one has a pile of battle tested tricks that make it work at half a trillion parameters. His verdict after testing it all day: the best open weights model you can host for coding right now, and it's not even close to the largest one.This chart is the one to look at. KV cache per token went from 389,000 bytes in the first DeepSeek (Nov 2023) to about 890 bytes now. Nisten did the math live, over 400x smaller. That's why this model is so cheap to serve, and as Yam kept yelling, we shouldn't take it for granted, this is the actual moat and they just put it in the open. Evals, briefly: 90.6 on Terminal-Bench 2.1 (above Opus 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol), 74.2 on DeepSWE 1.1 (also above both), and on an Open Design leaderboard it lands second behind Astra at two cents a task. Not twenty cents. Two. DeepSeek's own evals, so the usual asterisk applies.Two more things. Friend of the pod Aaron Batilo (he works on CoreWeave Inference, this is a side project, not sponsored) put up TokenJuice.ai, free and fast DeepSeek V4.1 Flash in exchange for your requests as training data, hosted in the US. Nobody wants free DeepSeek? Go try it. And Nisten had Astra build a 3D visualization of the whole architecture, every weight a cube sized by its bytes on disk, link in the TL;DR.This Week's Buzz

Growing older is automatic. Growing up isn't.I've noticed there are a few childish instincts I still haven't completely grown out of. I'm just better at hiding them now.

In this conversation, the focus is on the journey of Mike Anderson—from his early days on Fleet Street through to entrepreneurship and his role as a coach and connector. Drawing on decades of experience navigating transitions from print to digital, desktop to mobile, and now into the era of AI, the discussion explores the importance of balancing instinct with data in business decision-making, emphasising the enduring value of human skills even as technology accelerates. The exchange delves into leadership, reflecting on the lessons learned from pivotal life events and the power of both storytelling and humour in bringing teams together. Anderson unpacks key themes from his book, Serious Fun in Business: A Human Algorithm, including the vital role of personal authenticity, maintaining a “day one” mentality, and not losing your “soul” when the business rhythm is disrupted. Several points are raised around navigating adversity, leaning into pressure moments, and the concrete steps leaders can take to stay grounded—such as practising gratitude, fostering open conversations, and being honest about challenges. The conversation also explores the impact of sport, family influences, and the importance of environment and context in coaching. Whether you're a business leader facing uncertainty, someone interested in the intersection of instinct and data, or simply curious about finding more enjoyment and humanity in work, this episode offers plenty of practical wisdom and firm reminders on the power of connection, perspective, and resilience.

Bret Boone and Greg Amsinger discuss the qualities that pure instincts bring to the game that analytics can't replicate and why that is more valuable than numbers.

Bret Boone is joined by MLB Insider and host for MLB Network, Greg Amsinger. Greg & Boonie reminisce on Bret's Home Run Derby experience, how the Diamond Backs are handling the Ketel Marté situation and Greg breaks down his iconic rankings system.

DP Julia Swain on faking the Golden Gate Bridge, rigging a real tour bus, and bringing indie instincts to Netflix's Voicemails for Isabelle Podcast highlights include: -How Julia shot the film's pivotal Golden Gate Bridge overlook scenes without using a stage. The team scouted the real Marin Headlands, built a 3D map of the exact sightline, then recreated the spot in a Vancouver park at night, using blue screen only where the bridge needed to be. -How Julia pulled off shooting the most difficult scenes of the film: a real tour bus driving through San Francisco instead of faking it on a soundstage. -Why stepping up in budget didn't change how she and McKendrick actually work. The instincts built on tiny indie sets, and knowing what to prioritize and when to pivot, became the exact skillset that Julia needed to let them move fast on a much bigger show.

Send Kevin a Text MessageRoy Lee, the producer behind some of Hollywood's most successful horror films, franchises, and international adaptations, joins host Kevin Goetz to explore the unconventional path that took him from law school to building one of the most prolific producing careers in Hollywood. Lee has produced or executive produced The Ring, The Grudge, The Departed, It, Doctor Sleep, The Lego Movie, How to Train Your Dragon, Barbarian, Weapons, and A Minecraft Movie, among dozens of others. Through his company Vertigo Entertainment, he's built a reputation for spotting opportunity where others see risk, whether that means Asian horror remakes, emerging filmmakers, or video game IP. From Law School to Script Tracker (02:56): Lee describes going from law school to taking a job at a production company after moving to Los Angeles, where he was a development executive and script tracker responsible for knowing virtually every script and manuscript circulating around town.Twenty-Five Asian Films in Twenty-Five Months (10:20): Lee explains how he acquired the rights to twenty-five Asian titles, including The Ring, The Grudge, and The Departed. Eighteen of the twenty-five eventually made it to the screen.Reading by Instinct: What Makes Roy Lee Say Yes (15:54): Lee lays out his process, reading scripts between 4 and 6 a.m., abandoning any that don't make him care about the characters after the first act, and passing on stories he can predict in full.It, Reinvented (17:52): Lee recounts discovering that Warner Bros. quietly owned the rights to Stephen King's It, and pitching his producing partner Dan Lin on isolating the kids' story as its own film.The Barbarian Gamble (22:57): Every studio passed on Barbarian, but Lee was certain from the first act that it worked. It became a sleeper hit that also launched his ongoing partnership with writer-director Zach Cregger onWeapons and the upcoming Gladys.The Departed: A Home Run from the Start (29:11): Lee remembers watching Infernal Affairs, the Hong Kong film that would become The Departed, and knowing immediately it was a sure thing that went on to win the Best Picture Oscar.Common Sense, No Regrets, and Advice for the Next Generation (35:44): Asked about his superpower, Lee points to good judgment and the ability to capitalize on opportunity. He tells aspiring filmmakers that talent, not just passion, should determine who tries to break in.Where AI Fits In (40:06): Lee predicts AI will cut visual effects budgets, streamline storyboarding and animatics, and reshape script reading, even as he doubts audiences will see fully AI-generated lead performances anytime soon.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Roy LeeProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, Nick Nunez, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Roy Lee:Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_LeeIMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0498175/X: https://x.com/royleeroy25?lang=enFor more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk www.LearningLeader.com The Price of Becoming is a USA Today, LA Times, and Publishers Weekly Bestseller! www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming My guest - Mark Pincus is the founder of Zynga, the social gaming company he built from zero to $12.7 billion, pioneering a category that generated over a billion app installs and introduced hundreds of millions of people to online play. He's a serial founder who has started ten companies, taught product development at Stanford, and made early seed investments in Facebook and Twitter. His new book is Life at the Speed of Play. Key Learnings Coaches are cheat codes. Mark has hired a surfing coach, a tennis coach, a chess coach, a life coach, and the legendary Bill Campbell. None of them were assigned to him. He went and found them. "You throw to where you swing. You don't swing to where you throw." His tennis coach, Jorge, on learning how to serve. Commit to the natural swing first. You'll miss. You'll look stupid. Eventually your brain realizes you're serious and puts the ball where it belongs. You play to get better. You don't play to win. Not this point. Not this match. What am I doing right now that makes me better in the next game? Kill the ego so it gets out of the way of you being humble and curious. Don't contort the organization around one talented jerk. Colleen McCreary, Zynga's chief people officer, kept a sign on her wall: "No jerks allowed." She once vetoed an acquisition because she believed the founder was toxic. When the organization sees you refuse to bend just to win one point, they build muscle and confidence too. You'll have periods out of alignment. That's okay. Sometimes the person is in a crucial seat and you can't swap them tomorrow. What matters is that you're aligned with the philosophy. Bill Campbell's two lessons: intellectual honesty and courage. Be committed to the deep truths above everything else, and say them to your team even when it hurts. Then have the courage to stand up to your own team, your own board, and your own investors. A well-run company is a democratic dictatorship. Campbell leaned heavily on the dictatorship half. Unapologetically. The flip side of ambition is sacrifice. Everyone says they're a ten out of ten on ambition.  Mark's test: would you toil in obscurity for the next ten years, nobody respecting what you're doing, for an 80 or 90 percent chance at something bigger than your wildest dreams? Or take the 80 percent chance at a respectable single and a pat on the back? Nobody believes in us as much as we do. That's why we become founders. At 41, VCs who had already backed Mark twice told him he was too old, too rich, and too settled to go all in on Zynga. Mark isn't all in until he is. He calls it a lazy on-ramp to curiosity. Lots of projects. Looking for signals in a lot of places. Processing. Then it flips. "When the fish are running, we're up all night throwing nets until they're done running, not until we're tired." The chess lesson: play boring. His chess coach told him if you want to beat a player rated much higher than you, play boring and conservative and let them make the mistake. He started doing it. He started winning. Your kids don't follow what you say. They follow what you do. Mark set out to be a different kind of dad than his own, who measured people by their résumé. Then he watched his 15-year-old daughter spend every waking minute with math tutors before leaving on a service trip. "How did we get here? Oh, I know how we got here. They're not listening to what Dad says. They're following what Dad does." Happiness comes from feeling useful to a community you care about. Not from being useful. From feeling it. That's Alfred Adler, by way of The Courage to Be Disliked. There are two levels of success. A life well lived is a life in alignment with what only you can bring to the world. You don't have to build Google to feel like you went for it. The ultimate success is the greatest instantiation of your talents. Use money as freedom, not lifestyle. When Freeloader sold and 28-year-old Mark had more money than he'd ever imagined, he made a list of everything he was going to buy. It totaled about $9,000. He put leather interior in his Pathfinder. He still has the vehicle.  He set a $500 million goal that had nothing to do with buying things. At a net worth around $15 million, working with a life coach, he wrote it down because that's the capital required to run a studio of teams chasing many ideas without going to anyone else with hat in hand. "Creatively, that's freedom." Retirement is spiritual death. The stretches between building things are what Mark calls the abyss. Once you've felt the high of building with a great team and shipping something into users' hands every week, it ruins you. You can't be happy with less. Over-fund the things that matter. Not every day is the same. Not every life moment is the same. When one of those moments comes, put all your best players on the ice. The Allen & Company investor tour. They told Mark it was a dog and pony show. Just shake some hands. He told his team: this is our IPO, this is our roadshow, and we are going to use every minute of it the way we want. He gave the biggest public market investors a full presentation, handed them his numbers, and told them to judge him against those numbers in a year. He met with them a year later and had crushed them. King for a day. Carol Bartz brought Mark in to talk to Yahoo's entire senior management. He spent two weeks building a presentation on how he'd run Yahoo if he were king for a day, stood up, and took over the room for an hour. They got a deal done and one person in that room came to work for him. He ran the same play on the CEO of AMEX with a credit card that competed on fun. Amex spent $75 million with them. Seven minutes with Obama became 45. Mark was told the President would ask about his kids and then the meeting would be over. He walked in with a PowerPoint on the ten bold objectives he'd run on if he were president. Obama went through the entire thing and then asked what else he had. Prepare as hard for everything going right as you do for everything going wrong. Mark had under-prepared for the version of where Obama said, "Yeah, I'm buying. What else you got?" We sleepwalk through our own biggest moments. The question isn't what's the agenda or why they want to meet with you. It's: I have five minutes with the king. What is theoretically possible here? The Book of Life. Every year during the Jewish New Year, Mark writes in the same book. Only during that window. It isn't a journal. It's a spiritual board meeting with himself. He reads back through every previous year first, then writes. Partner with your future self. "What will Mark 2030 thank me for doing right now?" It started with quitting smoking. October 19, 1994. "I pulled my own power back. If I can quit smoking and really commit to it, what else can I do?" A year later he quit his job and did something bigger. Even if you missed the big goal, ask what you actually did toward it. Did you talk about it? Did you do real things? Did you turn the boat toward it? If not, maybe you don't believe in the goal. When Mark is at his lowest, he's humbled, he picks achievable goals, and he finds the most grit. When he's winning, he picks stratospheric goals and does the worst. After his biggest successes, he isn't humble enough to succeed again, and he has to go through failure to reel himself back in. Mark's champagne moment a year from now: that the book connects for hundreds of thousands of people, and that he's built a product people find real meaning in. Reflection Questions If you went and hired a coach, who is the person who could most change your life right now?  What is your next high-stakes moment, and are you treating it like the dog and pony show or like your IPO? What is the one habit your future self would most thank you for making this year? What would it unlock if you actually committed to it?

What happens when you know something isn't right—but no one seems to be connecting the dots?   In this episode of the Healthy Mouth Movement Podcast, I'm talking about one of the most important roles you can play in your own healthcare or your child's healthcare: being the connector. Our healthcare system is highly specialized, and while that expertise is valuable, it can also mean that important connections between symptoms, providers, and systems get missed.   I'm sharing what 35 years in healthcare has taught me about patient advocacy, trusting your instincts, asking better questions, and recognizing when “common” doesn't necessarily mean normal. We'll talk about how to communicate with your pediatrician, dentist, orthodontist, ENT, and other providers, what to do when your concerns are dismissed, and why you shouldn't underestimate what you observe every day.   If you've ever walked out of an appointment feeling unheard, confused, or convinced that there's more to the story, this episode is for you. You don't need a medical degree to advocate effectively—you need curiosity, persistence, and the willingness to keep asking, “Could these things be connected?”   Check out The Mind Mouth Body SHIFT Method -- https://shereewertz.com/academy   Book a consultation today: I am always here to help answer any question and schedule a 15 minute call with me.

What if the most prevalent narrative about ego in spiritual spaces is actually backwards - and costing us our personal power? In this episode, Jayne dismantles the myth that ego is the enemy and exposes the real problem: spiritual ego using spiritual language to control, gatekeep, and create dependency. You'll encounter six specific patterns - from prescriptive “21-day cleanses” to gatekeeping through attunements to the “love and light” bypass that asks you to shrink - and learn to spot how control masquerades as guidance. By the end, you'll be able to answer the question: does building an integrity-rich industry mean trusting our direct relationship with energy, or outsourcing our authority?BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL DISCOVER:● A healthy ego is not the obstacle to spiritual work - it's the foundation. Especially if you've inherited systems that taught you your needs are secondary, your boundaries are selfish, and your self-awareness is narcissism. Reclaiming a clear, accurate sense of self is prerequisite spiritual work, not something to transcend.● Six specific patterns where spiritual ego uses spiritual language to control: prescriptive protocols (21-day cleanses, “raise your vibration” diets), protection culture (the myth that you're fragile and everyone's energy is attacking you), gatekeeping through attunements (positioning the teacher as the only one who can grant you access), the “toxic” label (absolving yourself of relational responsibility), the love-and-light bypass (confusing spiritual "softness" with maturity), and the money story (refusing to charge appropriately under the guise of spirituality).● Why protection techniques can't solve structural energetic issues: when you're absorbing your client's energy chronically, no amount of white light, cord-cutting, or shielding will fix what is fundamentally a structural energetic architecture problem.● The system is the issue, not you. These patterns persist because teachers inherited them, didn't question them, or knew no other way, or knew another way and turned the other way. Building integrity-rich spaces means creating conditions where teachers mentor students toward their own authority - not away from it - and where direct relationship with energy is the goal, not dependency on the teacher.And while you're here, I'd love to connect on Tiktok & Instagram @reikiredefined.Also, make sure to tag me in your stories @reikiredefined.Live lead & serve from the power of your own truth - Spirit-led Reiki Pathway: https://www.reikiredefined.com/spirit-led-reiki-pathway/Stop absorbing your clients' energy: https://www.reikiredefined.com/stop-absorbing-your-clients-energy/No cost non guru community with no hierarchy or all knowing behaviour: https://www.reikiredefined.com/free-community/Essays on power, ethics & authority: https://jaynegoodsir.substack.com/UNDILUTED (a weekly round up that encourages us to question what we've inherited, trust our direct experience, and remain curious about what we know to be true): https://reiki-redefined.kit.com/6629991732

Margo is joined by author, creative writing coach, and video creator Abbie Emmons for a conversation about the power of storytelling and why our ability to tell meaningful stories is more instinctive than we might think. Abbie is the author of three novels and YouTube's most-watched creative writing coach, with a community of more than half a million writers worldwide. Margo and Abbie explore storytelling as something fundamentally human, why compelling stories begin with internal conflict, and how we can move beyond rigid rules, perfectionism, and self-doubt to reconnect with our natural creativity. Abbie's nonfiction debut, Make Your Story Matter, releases August 11, 2026. Margo and Abbie discuss: Why storytelling is fundamentally human and helps us make sense of life The three pillars of relatable characters: desire, fear, and false belief Why internal conflict drives compelling stories and meaningful transformation How rules, expectations, and self-doubt can disconnect us from our natural creative instincts What neuroscience and creativity research reveal about losing—and rebuilding—creative confidence Creating from joy and curiosity rather than trends or external validation Moving through perfectionism, overwhelm, fear, and other creative blocks How to trust your instincts, reignite your storytelling spark, and create work that matters Connect with Abbie: www.youtube.com/abbieemmons www.abbieemmonsauthor.com www.makeyourstorymatter.com

When you combine an Enneagram type with a dominant instinct, you get a subtype — and there are 27 of them. This is the level at which most people finally, fully recognize themselves in the Enneagram. Not at the type level, not at the instinct level, but here — where the two come together into something precise enough to actually fit. In this episode, Anthony and I walk through what subtypes are, why they matter so much, and what some of the most striking examples look like in practice. We spend time on the counter-phobic Sexual Six, who presents so differently from the general Six description that mistyping as an Eight is extremely common. We look at the Self-Preservation Four — stoic, tough, nothing like the image most people carry of the Romantic type — and the Social Three, whose image management has become so sophisticated that they can appear humble and self-effacing while running every calculation in the room. We also talk through how to identify your own subtype, what Beatrice Chestnut's work has contributed to this area of teaching, and what to do with the discomfort that often arises when a subtype description lands a little too accurately. If you've ever felt like your type description is about right but something important is still missing — or if you've ever thought you might be two different types — this episode is the one that usually resolves it.   This episode builds on Episode 3 (Instincts).

If AI continues to develop without appropriate guardrails, a worst-case scenario could lead to human extinction, warns the 'godfather of artificial intelligence' Geoffrey Hinton. But the Nobel Prize winner has a solution: AI must foster 'maternal' instincts, empathy and kindness.

Here's something I've noticed after years of teaching the Enneagram: there's usually a moment when someone who knows their type well suddenly encounters something that doesn't fit. A behavior they can't explain. A pattern that seems to contradict everything their type is supposed to do. More often than not, the answer lives in the instincts. In this episode — Episode 3 of our Enneagram Essentials series — Anthony and I go into one of the most undertaught concepts in popular Enneagram culture: the three instinctual drives. Every human being is wired with three biological survival drives — Self-Preservation, Social, and Sexual (or One-to-One). These aren't psychological preferences. They're primal. They predate the ego. And they operate in a hierarchy — which means that depending on which instinct fires first for you, two people of the same Enneagram type can look almost nothing alike. We walk through all three instincts in detail: what each is oriented toward, what it looks like in everyday life, what its shadow side is, and how to start identifying which one is dominant for you. We also talk about the Repressed instinct — the drive that tends to be most underdeveloped — and why understanding it can explain a remarkable amount of friction in your closest relationships. If you've ever felt like your type description is about 80% accurate and you can't figure out what the other 20% is — take a deeper look at instincts.   **This episode is part of the Enneagram Essentials series. Episode 4 builds directly on today's content, so listen in order if you can.  

Francis Fukuyama, Linda Chavez, and Rachel Janfaza join Yascha Mounk to discuss what a radical liberal agenda might look like today. In this week's episode of The Good Fight Club, Yascha Mounk, Francis Fukuyama, Linda Chavez, and Rachel Janfaza explore whether Gen Z's political instincts are genuinely liberal, what a renewed liberalism needs to reclaim from the republican tradition, and how to rebuild a culture of public-spiritedness in an age of anti-establishment politics.  Francis Fukuyama is the Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow at Stanford University and the founder of American Purpose. His latest book is Liberalism and Its Discontents. Linda Chavez is the Vice Chair of the Renew Democracy Initiative, founded by Garry Kasparov. She previously served in the Reagan administration and has been a syndicated columnist and political commentator for decades. Rachel Janfaza is the founder of Up and Up, where she researches and writes about the political beliefs and cultural attitudes of Gen Z.

Welcome to our July Breastfeeding Q&A episode! We open with a conversation about what surprised women most about breastfeeding (for better or worse) after all the things they'd heard from others, from pain and emotional shifts to supply, pumping, and expectations that didn't match reality.Additionally, we answer the following questions:I'm pregnant and still breastfeeding my toddler. What should I know about tandem nursing, and how do I prioritize a newborn without creating oversupply?My newborn had low blood sugar readings in the hospital and we were encouraged to use donor milk. Was that necessary, and would things have resolved differently outside that setting?I experience waves of anxiety, nausea, and sadness right before letdown. What is this and is it normal?As usual, we lead into a round of quickies including: can latch change during teething, how to manage nipple sensitivity during your cycle, does milk supply drop when baby starts sleeping longer stretches, should you always nurse from both sides, is one breast doing all the work okay, do breastfed babies need vitamin D, and when is it okay for baby to sleep through the night. We wrap with a personal question which is: What advice would you give to someone entering the industry?#364 | When Co-Sleeping Gets Complicated: Weaning, Toddlers, and Sleep Transitions with Tiffany BelangerSend us Fan Mail Support the showAccess our workshops: Have a Physiologic Birth in the Hospital and Ultrasound: The Research vs RhetoricNeeded

What happens to intimacy, nostalgia, and creative power when a world-class filmmaker decides to step away from the camera and help reimagine their masterpiece for the live stage?  In this episode of TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, I sit down with award-winning filmmaker, writer, and director Ritesh Batra. Celebrated globally for his masterpiece debut feature film, The Lunchbox, Ritesh has spent the last decade crafting incredibly delicate, human-centered stories. Now, he has brought that same quiet magic to the theater stage, serving as the book writer and co-lyricist for the highly successful musical adaptation of The Lunchbox.Ritesh shares unique process of rewriting a beloved indie film for a live theatrical medium. He shares why he deliberately avoided rewatching his own movie to allow a fresh, organic confluence of creative energy to take over with his collaborators. He also shares his personal philosophy on "artistic fingerprints"—explaining why true success in any creative field requires leaving your own distinct, irreplaceable mark rather than chasing past commercial formulas or letting executive gatekeepers dictate the narrative.  Ritesh shares insights on:• Nostalgia & Friction: Why he prefers focusing his storytelling on the compelling friction of characters "left behind" by rapid societal changes rather than those keeping up with them.  • Stage vs. Screen Intimacy: How the live stage provides a unique canvas to showcase unspoken connection and stillness in ways the cinema camera cannot.  • The Fingerprint Philosophy: Why elite artists must own their distinct perspective, and how to protect your creative power in a system obsessed with past commercial formulas.  • Songs Hidden in the Seams: The organic process of discovering musical numbers hidden in the quiet, empty spaces between film scenes.  • Overcoming the Fear of Collapse: Navigating the intense vulnerability of a production's first week and learning to trust your internal compass.  Whether you're a filmmaker, a theater lover, a creative professional navigating a highly public career, or someone looking to practice deeper mindfulness and trust in your everyday life, Ritesh's thoughts on artistic conviction provides an invaluable blueprint.  If you enjoyed this, please hit that subscribe button, leave a comment, and share this video with someone looking to realize and transform their own vision! --------------------------Chapters-00:00 Introductions02:40 Nostalgia, Change, and Telling Stories of Those Left Behind05:41 Translating the Intimacy of The Lunchbox to the Stage08:04 An Organic Transformation: Working with the Lazours10:09 Finding Songs in Between the Seams of the Story11:43 The Writer's Medium: Curating the Confluence of Creative Energy14:35 Discovering New Skills and Instincts in Musical Theater16:32 Sponsor Breaks - TRAVELOPOD and LOTUS LANE COFFEE17:31 Managing a Public Career: Owning Successes and Failures21:14 Leaving Your Fingerprints Over Everything You Create25:10 Wielding Artistic Power and Collaborating with Actors27:56 Thriving on the Unknown: Ritesh's Operating Mantra29:55 Lessons from Parenting and the Cost of Creative Focus31:42 Quick Hitters: Greatest Fears, Mingling, and Hamnet33:07 Cultivating Trust in Yourself and the Unseen End Goal35:18 Conclusions & Shoutouts#RiteshBatra #TheLunchbox #IndieFilmmaking #SouthAsianRepresentation #Storytelling #TrustMeIKnowWhatImDoingShoutouts:✉️ Mitra Kalita for making this incredible connection happen!

On a classic edition of Weekend Conversations on the Elevate Podcast, host Robert Glazer and producer Mick Sloan discuss the importance of staving off complacency and being aware of threats in business and social movements.

After nine seasons of Typology, Anthony and I thought we should revisit some of the basics.  This is the first episode of a five-part series we're calling Enneagram Essentials. Think of today as the front door — we cover the ground every listener needs, from how to find your type to how the Enneagram works in relationships, in faith, and in seasons of genuine suffering.  Then, in Episodes 2 through 5, we go deeper into the concepts that most Enneagram teaching glosses over: Basic Fears and Desires, Instincts, Subtypes, and Virtues. The four things that, in my experience, change everything once you actually understand them. Whether you found the Enneagram last week or you've been sitting with it for years, there's something in today's conversation for you.

Goddesses, Trophies, and the Bond of Achilles. Guest: Professor Emily Wilson. The gods in the Iliad often represent extreme human instincts, such as Aphrodite representing lust and Ares representing aggression. These deities are sometimes depicted as ridiculous because they flee the battlefield when wounded, whereas mortals must face their pain heroically. Within the Greek camp, the social structure is built around honor and "trophies," specifically enslaved women like Briseis, who are parceled out after military victories. While Briseis has a limited voice, she is shown to have a kind relationship with Patroclus, who is described as a multi-faceted character capable of both great kindness and brutal violence. Patroclus is not a "beta male" but a skilled warrior who mocks his victims as he kills them. The bond between Achilles and Patroclus is the most intimate and emotionally vulnerable relationship in the poem. Achilles' awareness of his own impending death and the violation of his honor by Agamemnon creates a deep-seated rage that drives the central plot. 41919
