POWER is on the mind these days, as the world grapples with shifting global power dynamics, old powers crumbling, new ones rising, and archaic power paradigms resurfacing… Yes, issues of power run rampant and discussions on power are front and center. But like everything else in modern discourse, the discussion on power has been decontextualized. Power is seen as an abstract bodiless force that governs from above, or an arbitrary human construct that is either relentlessly pursued or seen as 'bad' and flattened entirely. Traditional animate systems hold a very different vision of power, in which power is a tangible presence, a living breathing force inherent to the structure of nature itself. Within this vision there is the recognition of a greater power that operates in cycles and spirals of creation and destruction, and to which all temporal powers are beholden. When the existence of this power is acknowledged, then human beings can architect their ritual and social systems to be in alignment and harmony with it. In the absence of recognition of this power, human beings settle for the crudest, most obvious vision of power — the power to seize and force and control. These 'obvious' powers have come to dominate our vision of power. Yet the world is shaped by a multitude of powers, some silent and invisible. Every small power in the mandala of powers has its role to play in the overall web of power, and perhaps a complete vision of power means recognizing the power of the less obvious things, and cultivating those powers that slowly shift and repattern the more obvious powers. This means recognizing first and foremost that power is real and tangible, and that the structures and harmonic architecture of nature itself reveals much about what it means to construct systems that can honor it, call it, receive it, hold it, and pass it on. Featuring contributions from Nyoongar writer, storyteller and researcher Jack Mitchell, Hawaiian cultural practitioner Kanani Aton, and Living Sanskrit's Shivani Hawkins, with music by Althaea, Victor Sakshin, Marya Stark, and Travis Puntarelli. Let's take a deep dive into... the ***POWER***Support the show

Episode web page: https://tinyurl.com/ywpva5x5 ----------------------- In this Insights Unlocked episode, host Michael Domanic sits down with Jack Mitchell, Head of Product and Operations at Zigzag, the #1 puppy training app. Jack shares how his team built Ziggy, an AI-powered virtual puppy trainer designed to provide personalized, science-backed training advice at scale. Jack explains that scalability was a major challenge for the certified B-Corp startup. Originally, Zigzag provided WhatsApp chat support with real dog trainers, but as the company grew, this wasn't sustainable. They needed a way to offer science-backed, consistent training advice while still maintaining the personal touch that users valued. Additionally, user behavior played a key role in the decision to develop an AI-powered chat. Zigzag found many customers hesitated to ask simple questions because they didn't want to bother a human trainer—even though they were paying for the service. AI eliminated this friction by making users feel more comfortable asking quick, everyday training questions. Zigzag is continuously refining Ziggy's AI model based on user feedback, with a 96% positive rating of the feature. "Trust is key," Jack said. "Users need to know they're getting the right advice—every time." Looking ahead, Jack said they aim to expand Ziggy's capabilities and explore how AI can further improve the pet training experience. "The goal is to keep making the AI better, smarter, and more useful for puppy parents everywhere," he said. Key Takeaways:

We see how Jack is feeling after a very emotionally confusing weekend of sports.
It's the last game of the regular season. Nebraska is already bowl eligible. So is Iowa. This version of Black Friday hasn't played out since 2016 so…LETS GET HYPED! The Nebraska Cornhuskers are looking for a seventh win but even more than that the team will be trying to continue the strong play from the offense as it put up 44 points a week ago against Wisconsin. Who better to bring aboard for Iowa than Nebraska super fan and local radio extraordinaire Jack Mitchell? The panel discusses Nebraska's offense, what to make of the Huskers' renewed running game and then if the defense is up to the task of defending the same handful of run plays over-and-over-and over. Finally it's prediction time. There's oddly specific predictions, pick to click predictions and, of course, a final score prediction — but this week in honor of Nebraska being bowl eligible the panel also each selected a bowl location and an opponent. Did anyone select the Pinstripe Bowl? Or Matt Rhule getting a massive tub of mayo dumped on him? Listen in and find out on this week's Husker247 HypeCast.
