In episode #577 of Lawyerist Podcast, discover how to use AI to drive firm growth, expand practice areas, and strengthen client relationships while avoiding the trap of treating it as a simple efficiency tool. Too often, conversations about AI in law stop at shaving time off tasks or reducing headcount, but AI holds far more potential than cost-cutting. Innovation strategist Sam Harden explains why firms should resist the temptation to view AI as a staff replacement and instead embrace it as a growth engine. By experimenting with generative tools and even “vibe coding,” lawyers can create new services, improve client experiences, and reach entirely new markets. Rather than narrowing practice, AI can open doors to expansion, innovation, and more sustainable business models—helping firms future-proof themselves in a rapidly evolving market.  Ideal for growth-minded lawyers, firm leaders, and legal innovators who want to use AI strategically to scale smarter, serve better, and stay ahead.  Links From the Episode:  https://samharden.substack.com/  https://legaltalknetwork.com/podcasts/for-the-innocent/  https://tabs3.com/seetabs3/    Listen to our other episodes on AI & Legal Innovation:  #565: Becoming the AI Driven Leader, with Geoff Woods Apple | Spotify | LTN  #562: Beyond ChatGPT: The AI Revolution Happening Inside Your Firm, with Charreau Bell Apple | Spotify | LTN  #555: How to Use AI and Universal Design to Empower Diverse Thinkers with Susan Tanner Apple | Spotify | LTN  #553: AI Tools and Processes Every Lawyer Should Use with Catherine Sanders Reach Apple | Spotify | LTN  #452: Managing AI in Your Practice, with Ed Walters Apple | Spotify | LTN    If today's podcast resonates with you and you haven't read The Small Firm Roadmap Revisited yet, get the first chapter right now for free!

AFC Super Bowl contenders Kyler Murray's jorts.

In this week’s episode of Missing the Point, Mike Marcangelo and Rayshawn Buchanan break down a tough Patriots loss to the Raiders and dive deep into what it means moving forward. The guys take a hard look at Drake Maye’s performance, where he showed flashes of potential but also struggled under questionable play calling and poor situational decisions. They debate whether Josh McDaniels’ offensive strategy held the team back, why TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson weren’t used enough, and how Carlton Davis’ defensive lapses exposed the Patriots secondary. The conversation shifts to broader roster challenges, including the absence of Christian Gonzalez, Milton Williams’ growing role, and the surprising release of Jabrill Peppers. Can Mike Vrabel and his coaching staff establish a winning culture with this group, or is the lack of depth already showing cracks? Outside of Foxborough, the guys turn their attention to the AFC East, where the Miami Dolphins stumbled badly in Week 1 against the Giants. Rayshawn questions whether Mike McDaniel’s job could already be on the line, while Mike considers how long ownership will stay patient. They also break down Tua Tagovailoa’s inconsistency, Tyreek Hill’s fading explosiveness, and whether Jaylen Waddle can truly become a reliable weapon. The episode even touches on Lamar Jackson’s James Harden-like reputation in big games, Josh Allen’s playoff struggles, and the never-ending debate over Tom Brady’s legacy as a “winner” vs. a “talent.” This is a no-holds-barred look at coaching decisions, roster construction, and the big-picture direction of two of the NFL’s most talked-about franchises. If you’re a New England Patriots fan, Miami Dolphins skeptic, or just love hard-hitting football talk, this is an episode you can’t miss. 00:00 – Patriots lose to Raiders in Week 1: immediate reactions03:45 – Drake Maye’s debut performance: flashes of promise and rookie mistakes08:20 – Josh McDaniels’ play calling under fire: lack of offensive balance12:10 – Why Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson need more touches16:35 – Carlton Davis struggles in coverage without Christian Gonzalez21:05 – Jabrill Peppers’ release and what it means for the Patriots secondary26:50 – Mike Vrabel’s coaching staff outcoached in Week 1 loss32:15 – Are the Patriots already facing roster depth problems?37:40 – Miami Dolphins upset by Giants: is Mike McDaniel on the hot seat?42:55 – Tua Tagovailoa’s inconsistency and Tyreek Hill’s fading explosiveness47:30 – Can Jaylen Waddle step up as Miami’s true WR1?51:45 – Lamar Jackson compared to James Harden in big moments56:20 – Josh Allen’s playoff struggles and AFC competition outlook1:01:05 – Tom Brady’s legacy: generational winner vs. generational talent1:05:50 – Patriots vs Dolphins Week 2 preview: bold predictions Stay connected with Missing the Point:Website: https://www.mtpshow.comYouTube: https://youtube.com/@MTPPodTwitter (X): https://twitter.com/MTP_podInstagram: https://instagram.com/MTP_podTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@MTP_podFacebook: https://facebook.com/MTPPodContact: craig@mtpshow.com

Today's Political and Religious Climates Harden Hearts of Many “Believers” Who Turn Away from God - Jesus Followers Are to and Can Help Those with Hardening Hearts MESSAGE SUMMARY: No matter the hardness of a person's heart, who has walked away from God, they will respond to your initiatives that are based on your love and trust. However, so many of us Christians are so focused on doing their religious or spiritual things and keeping to their “busy” schedules that they do not have time to love and care for the needs of other – physical and/or spiritual. Is there anything you can do for someone with a calloused heart or who has walked away from God because they were not discipled? Yes, you must start by praying for them – asking God to move in their lives; asking God to intervene in their life situations; asking God to break up the hardness of their heart. Also, you must build a better personal relationship, with this person, through your trust and caring love. In Mathew 18:12-13, Jesus presents God's perspective regarding the pursuit of even one person that has walked away: “What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish."   TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, to you I acknowledge that I don't want to go the way of powerlessness and humility. Like Peter, I want to know what you are doing with those around me. I love you. Help me to trust you with this day, with tomorrow, and with my whole life. In Jesus' name, amen.        Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 92). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Compulsions. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Patience. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Dave Sobel interviews John Harden, the director of strategy and technology evangelism at Auvik, discussing the evolution of SaaS management and its growing adoption in the industry. Since Auvik's acquisition of SaaSlio in 2022, the company has invested significantly in engineering efforts to enhance its SaaS management capabilities. Harden highlights the increasing need for visibility into SaaS applications due to rising cybersecurity threats and the growing importance of AI in business environments. He emphasizes that many organizations are now recognizing the necessity of understanding their SaaS assets, particularly in light of the proliferation of AI tools.The conversation delves into the different ways organizations are consuming AI, with smaller companies typically using AI through SaaS applications, while larger organizations may develop their own models via APIs. Harden explains how Auvik's SaaS management platform provides visibility into both categories, allowing businesses to monitor AI usage and manage potential risks associated with shadow IT. He also discusses the recent release of SaaSOps, which enhances visibility and integrates with popular tools to provide deeper insights into API usage and license management.As organizations begin to shift back to on-premises servers due to the high costs associated with AI workloads, Auvik has responded by introducing server management capabilities. Harden notes that this new feature allows for comprehensive monitoring of on-premises infrastructure, ensuring that businesses can effectively manage their IT assets regardless of where they are hosted. This adaptability is crucial as companies navigate the complexities of their IT environments, whether they are utilizing cloud services or traditional on-premises solutions.Looking ahead, Harden expresses optimism about the growth of compliance and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) solutions, which he believes will foster stronger relationships between managed service providers (MSPs) and their clients. He emphasizes the importance of asset visibility in achieving compliance and cybersecurity goals, as well as in developing AI strategies. By continuing to expand its asset visibility portfolio, Auvik aims to support MSPs in meeting the evolving needs of their customers in a rapidly changing technological landscape.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA offseason moves and much more. The NBA offseason has been anything but quiet, with retirements, betting controversies, and opening night matchups fueling headlines. John Wall officially retired after an injury-filled career that began with promise in Washington, while Derrick Rose will have his No. 1 jersey retired by the Chicago Bulls, honoring his MVP peak before injuries changed his trajectory. Off-court drama also made waves as Malik Beasley was cleared in a federal gambling investigation, reopening his free agency with interest from the Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks. The case highlighted growing concerns over NBA betting integrity, with discussions about limiting unders on fringe players after scandals involving Jonte Porter. Opening night brings high drama. The Oklahoma City Thunder, fresh off their championship, host the Houston Rockets, who now feature Kevin Durant in a stunning return to OKC. Oddsmakers list the Thunder as 6.5-point favorites, backed by continuity, elite net rating, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's MVP form. Analysts expect Durant and Jalen Green to thrive in Houston but caution that defensive chemistry will take time after trading away Dillon Brooks. The second marquee game pits the Golden State Warriors against the Los Angeles Lakers. Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler headline a Warriors roster built on stability, while the Lakers counter with Luka Doncic alongside LeBron James at age 41. Experts argue Golden State is undervalued, pointing to their cohesion and defensive strength compared to the Lakers' questionable fit and reliance on Luka's offense. Debate then shifted to overrated and underrated stars entering the 2025–26 season. Anthony Edwards, despite highlight dunks and hype, was criticized for inconsistency, limited playmaking, and average defense in key playoff series. Trae Young's efficiency, turnovers, and defensive liability made him another overrated pick, while LeBron James was called statistically brilliant yet less impactful on winning at this stage of his career. Ja Morant's injuries and lack of reliable shooting lowered his stock, and even fan-favorite Alex Caruso was labeled overrated due to inflated advanced metrics. On the underrated side, Joel Embiid was deemed far too low on rankings despite injury concerns, still a dominant force when healthy. Orlando's Franz Wagner was praised for versatility, scoring, and leadership alongside Paolo Banchero, positioning him as a rising top-15 talent. Jalen Williams of the Thunder was highlighted as a two-way star capable of being more than a Robin, while Bam Adebayo's defense and potential offensive leap could transform Miami. Even Steph Curry, though widely respected, was argued to remain underrated for the way he elevates teammates. The podcast closed with betting insights. The Los Angeles Clippers were recommended at -8 over the rebuilding Utah Jazz, given depth, continuity, and elite defense led by Kawhi Leonard and James Harden. Another best bet circled the Toronto Raptors +6 against the Atlanta Hawks, citing Brandon Ingram's addition, improved depth, and Atlanta's poor record as home favorites. As the 2025–26 season approaches, the NBA's mix of star power, betting intrigue, and opening-night storylines ensures drama on and off the court. From Durant's OKC return to debates over Edwards, Young, and Embiid, fans and bettors alike have plenty to watch. The association never sleeps, and this season promises to be another defining chapter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's mailbag madness! Adam, Will, and Chuck answer questions about the Clippers closing lineup, the chance they win 60 games(!), Kris Dunn in the short roll, and the possibility of trading Bogi 

Tom Haberstroh and Dan Devine crunched the numbers after the CP3 news became official: the 2025-26 LA Clippers are now, officially, the oldest team in NBA history. With an average age of 33.2 years old (!), the Clippers have surpassed the previous record held by the Stockton-and-Malone Utah Jazz. Could this actually work out in LA's favor? Tom and Dan think the Clippers' depth and versatility could propel them to the top of the West if things break their way.
