In this episode of All That To Say, Miranda and Kristin spill the tea on Justin Bieber's newest album (it's giving relaxed vibes and zero pop bops) and his beef with Scooter Braun over a measly $35 million. Then, they dissect the design choices of Jeff Bezos' lavish wedding because nothing says "richest man alive" like emergency 1980s office carpet. Dive into the wild world of Labubus as the girls call a friend for an expert breakdown. Make it make sense! Finally, wrap up with the Chrisleys' dramatic pardon saga (white-collar crime, southern accents, and prison camp glow-ups included). It's pop culture chaos, billionaire blunders, and plenty of laughs.

August! Only 25 Patreon-PayPal-Square Cash shopping days until David Waldman's birthday! A great time to begin or up your recurring donations to KITM! What will It cost to renovate the ‘Free' Qatari Air Force One? Don't ask… but if you were to ask, it's around $1billion. Is Trump trying to hide that $1billion price tag? Why, yes, he is. Will Trump try to take it home with him? Why bother to ask? Meanwhile plans are underway for the Trump White House Convention Center and Casino. How much will that cost? Who'll pay for that? You're full of questions, aren't you? Trump purports to raise tariffs on Canada. Canada says that news is big if true. South Korea says don't believe it until you see it. Wisconsin Gop Bryan Steil can't believe his town halls could boo so loud. Is this any way to run a paper? Jeff Bezos discovers that no, it probably is not. Brilliant boy genius Luke Farritor ingeniously disemboweled the United States government. It's up to more mature minds to determine if that is what he “should” have been doing.

Elon Musk's SpaceX and Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin may garner lots of attention, but there are a growing number of tech companies now chasing commercial and defense opportunities in space. And they're ratcheting up the competition for longtime contractors who sell to the federal government. On POLITICO Tech, host Steven Overly sits down with Rob Geckle, the CEO of Airbus U.S. Space & Defense, to discuss Silicon Valley breaking into the defense business, the U.S. space race with China and looming federal budget cuts. Steven Overly is the host of POLITICO Tech and covers the intersection of politics and technology. Nirmal Mulaikal is the co-host and producer of POLITICO Energy and producer of POLITICO Tech.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin continue our KITM-wide tribute to Tom Lehrer, who, amongst his many attributes, is copyright free. Leher wasn't the only political satirist capable of rhyming “Epstein” with “tiny peen”, but definitely one of the best. Heard any good Jeffrey Epstein news lately? Most Americans want to release the Epstein files. Most Americans think the Epstein files contain "embarrassing" info about Trump. Most Americans believe that Trump was involved in Epstein's crimes. That includes quite a few MAGA-Americans, Moron-Americans, and even a few Moron-MAGA-Americans. The best thing about Jeffrey Epstein news is that there's so much Jeffrey Epstein news left to report. The DOJ faces a subpoena over the Epstein files by the House Oversight Committee, it's just that James Comer is in no hurry to sign it. I can't afford a Washington Post subscription. Jeff Bezos could make the Washington Post free to subscribers. In fact, Jeff could afford to make the entire Washington Post free if he wanted to and just sail away from it all, no problem. Trump TACOs on Mexico. Bullshits on Japan. Scams his own voters with Europe. Laura Loomer will win back Donald's love by throwing shade at everyone else. Even West Point is too woke for Laura.
In this podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover talks with Andy Crocker about what losing to Musk and Bezos taught him about real leadership. Andy Crocker is an aerospace executive with three decades of experience building high-performance teams and leading ambitious projects, including NASA's Human Landing System. He holds degrees in engineering, humanities, management, and leadership and is an associate fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. His multidisciplinary educational background and diverse career shaped his unique perspective that led him to write The Unconditionals in which he reveals the foundational, timeless values that help readers unlock the potential for their greatest personal and professional fulfillment. He recently founded Overview Affection, a company that aims to extend the values contained in The Unconditionals to individuals and organizations.

In this episode of Wisdom from the Wardrobe, the team kicks things off with a stylish stroll through the latest fashion headlines. First up: Anna Wintour announced her stepping down as Editor-in-Chief of Vogue on a random Thursday, that news had the fashion world buzzing. Then there's was that not-so-subtle spectacle that was the Bezos wedding in Venice. While the event itself was dripping in star power and staggering expense, it was the bride's dress that really stole the spotlight—and not necessarily in a good way. Aiming for Sophia Loren glam but landing somewhere between Dynasty cosplay and 1980s prom queen, it left the internet divided and our fashion senses tingling. But once the veil lifts, it's time to bare legs and bold opinions in our main topic: shorts in the workplace. Are they a sign of modern dress code evolution or a professional misstep? Can you channel Tom Browne tailoring without looking like you wandered in from a school drop-off? From inseams to office norms, the team debates the do's and beware of workplace shorts, how to style them with intention, and how to decode your company culture before letting your knees do the talking. As always, expect laughs, side-eye-worthy examples, and practical tips on how to stay stylish (and employed) when the temperatures rise. Spoiler: It's not just about shorts; it's about the strategy. Whether you are team trouser or pro-pedal pusher, this episode is a must-listen for anyone trying to beat the heat without breaking the unspoken office style rules. Happy Listening!
The Experience Strategy Podcast is available on all major podcast platforms for free. In this episode, the hosts discuss the complexities of tourism in Italy, particularly focusing on the balance between local experiences and tourist demands. They explore the impact of consumer behavior on travel, the need for sustainable tourism practices, and the importance of transformational travel that benefits local communities. The conversation emphasizes the necessity for destinations to adapt to changing trends and the value of holistic travel experiences that respect both tourists and residents. Takeaways In Europe, tourists are getting squirted by residents and Bezos and Sanchez's wedding makes locals mad. Italy's tourism faces challenges balancing local needs and tourist demands. The concept of slow tourism promotes quieter, more authentic experiences. Tourism should support local economies and respect residential areas. Consumer behavior in travel is increasingly influenced by social media. Destinations need to adapt quickly to changing trends and demands. Transformational travel can enhance community engagement and support. Tourist fees can help fund local infrastructure and services. A subscription model for travel experiences could foster repeat business. Travel experiences should cater to diverse traveler needs and preferences. Holistic travel experiences encompass cultural, environmental, and community aspects.

In this emergency episode of Ungovernable Misfits, we explore the potential cosmic and earthly threats that could impact our world. Return guest, Kerim, presents a theory that combines astrophysical phenomena with the current state of our planet, suggesting that we may be on the brink of a significant event. 1 - Solar Maximum - The Sun is at the maximal peak of it's 11 year cycle, there is a confirmed increase in solar flare activity which suggests an increased risk of a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME).https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/solar-maximum-could-hit-us-harder-and-sooner-than-we-thought-how-dangerous-will-the-suns-chaotic-peak-be/https://science.nasa.gov/science-research/heliophysics/nasa-noaa-sun-reaches-maximum-phase-in-11-year-solar-cycle/https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/14/science/sun-cycles-solar-maximum-minimum-corona.html2 - Earth's magnetic field is weakened - The magnetic field that sheilds us from solar plasma is at a low which leaves us more vulnerable to solar particle radiation and plasma discharges such as a CME.https://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/FutureEO/Swarm/Swarm_probes_weakening_of_Earth_s_magnetic_fieldhttps://www.space.com/23131-earth-magnetic-field-shift-explained.htmlhttps://www.sciencefocus.com/planet-earth/earth-magnetic-fieldhttps://www.livescience.com/62577-earth-magnetic-field-drifts.html3 - Local Nova activity & Energy storage - Two confirmed Nova are currently visible. V462 Lupi (in the constellation Lupus, the wolf, one Ptolomy's 48 constellations) and V572 Velorum (in the large constellation Argo Navis, a great ship shaped constellation) are both classic nova. These are binary star systems that undergo periodic explosions. Exploding stars pulse a direct current through the normally alternating current plasma system of the galaxy. Almost all astronomical bodies have alternating layers of conductive plasmas and insulating uncharged matter (Earth's layers include the Ionosphere, Plasmasphere, Magnetosheath, Magnetosphere and could include the oceans and or subterranean plasma layers) in this manner they can act as multilayered capacitors. When an Alternating Current (AC) is applied to a capacitor, it acts like a resistor in a DC circuits, dissipating energy and attenuating it's flow.When a Direct Current (DC) is applied to a capacitor, it acts as a battery as electric potential difference builds between the conductive plasma layers. This stores energy in the system increasing the risk of plasma discharges such as a CME.In short, the local Nova activity generates DC pulses into the local plasma system making bodies act as batteries instead of resistors increasing the energy potentials and the risk of a CME. https://www.iflscience.com/for-only-the-second-recorded-time-two-novae-are-visible-with-the-naked-eye-at-once-79824https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1364682617303711https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B0122270908001445https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1364682612000995https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-019-0819-74 - The Taurid meteor stream - The presence of a conductive material into the solar system (such as a comet stream made up of metallic meteor fragments) could mediate an electrical discharge by lowering the resistance of the system.Meteors are largely comprised of Iron. The meteor stream could act as "Iron filings" sprinkled between highly charged conductive plates. This could trigger a plasma discharge (arc discharge, essentially lightning) or CME.An even more dangerous scenario could see the discharge diverting one or more meteors from the stream towards Earth. This could be a beautiful display of shooting stars and Northern Lights or a Younger Dryas Level event.We pass through the stream every June and November.5 - Psychosocial Temperature - Pick any issue, any fucking issue. Epstein, JFK, 911, Macron's Husband, Mass migration, the Genocide of the Palestinians. The people in power are acting like they will never face accountability for their crimes. In fact they are behaving like they know everything is coming down and they've known about it for a while and are prepped, ready and taking advantage of teh situation like the parasites they are. There are rumours of a 21 Trillion dollar breakaway civilisation (Caroline Fitz solari.com). Underground structures and spaceships. Elon Musk is boring tunnels and he and Bezos are sending rockets to space. It certainly seems like the people who would know about this are acting exactly as you would expect them to if it were true.The Sun will have dropped back to minimum activity levels by 2030. The greatest risk is over the next three months. If we make it past November then the immediate danger is over and we could have hundreds or even thousands of years before this level of risk is approached again.FOUNDATIONhttps://foundation.xyz/ungovernableFoundation builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your digital sovereignty.As a sovereign computing company, Foundation is the antithesis of today's tech conglomerates.

Entscheidungen: Das Metronom unseres (Arbeits-)Alltags und oft eine echte Challenge.Schnell kommt im Team das Gefühl auf: "Nicht schon wieder endlose Diskussionen!" Oder: "Warum dauert das immer ewig?". In dieser Episode nähern wir uns der Entscheidungsfindung von allen Seiten – mit Anekdoten aus unserem Berufsleben, strukturierten Frameworks und konkreten Alltagstipps, die dich und dein Team weiterbringen.Du erfährst: Was unterscheidet eine Typ-1-Entscheidung von einer Typ-2-Entscheidung und warum hilft dieses Framework, endlich etwas auf die Straße zu bringen? Wir sprechen über Jeff Bezos, die RACI-Matrix, Runbooks und Standard Operating Procedures aus dem Operations-Bereich und Feuerwehr-Einsätzen und warum schnelle, aber gut dokumentierte Beschlüsse im Engineering Gold wert sind.Natürlich diskutieren wir auch Dinge wie: Sind synchrone Meetings wirklich der Heilige Gral oder kann Remote-Arbeit sogar für bessere, inklusivere Entscheidungen sorgen? Wie sollten Entscheidungen dokumentiert werden? Warum verlaufen Entscheidungsprozesse oft zäh, selbst wenn es "nur" um das Mittagsessen geht?Bonus: Ob 100% Zustimmung bei Entscheidungen überhaupt realistisch oder bloß ein Meeting-Mythos ist.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

Send us a textWhat does it really mean to win? Lately, I've been sitting with this question—and the more I observe high performers, the more I notice a common thread: the most successful people aren't doing everything. They're obsessed with one thing.This episode was inspired by my time at the Aspire Tour, where leaders like Ed Mylett, David Goggins, and Jesse Itzler laid out their blueprints for success. What stood out? Simplicity. Focus. Depth. Whether it's Bezos building everything around the customer, Rolex sticking to watches, or Jiro dedicating 75+ years to perfecting sushi—true winning comes from going all in on what aligns most.Here's what you'll take away:Why obsession with one thing beats juggling manyHow the world's best build momentum through narrow, deep focusA new lens on “winning” that goes beyond titles or incomeHow to find your personal definition of winning—one that aligns with your values and fuels consistent growthLet's redefine winning together.

What in the world is going on at The Washington Post? Our city's venerable daily is hemorrhaging employees and going through a wild change in its identity. And it's weird because the last thing a lot of folks might remember is that the news organization seemed until recently to be swimming in Jeff Bezos' money. Paul Farhi spent years writing about the industry for the Post, and more recently has turned his eye on his former employer. He's here to talk about how things got to this point.

Outer space is starting to get crowded. Private companies like Elon Musk's SpaceX and Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin are launching rockets regularly, thousands of satellites now orbit Earth, and celebrities like Katy Perry are signing up for space tourism. There's talk of more missions to the Moon, and Elon Musk is even hoping for human landings on Mars, within the next decade. But while space tech is racing ahead, the laws that govern it are lagging behind. In fact, there's only one major international law, the Outer Space Treaty - but that was made ages ago in 1967. In this episode we hear from three people studying space law; Andre Kwok, a recent graduate at the Australian National University, and Judith Jahnke from Sweden and Martina Elia Vitoloni from Argentina, both at McGill University in Canada. And BBC journalist Freya Scott-Turner explains what laws we already have and why it's been difficult to agree on more.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training A surprise $10K tax bill nearly knocked Pete Kleinjan off course—but he learned that trusting experts, keeping perspective, and staying outcome-focused is what turns agency chaos into long-term growth. If you're facing curveballs, this episode is your mindset reset. What You'll Learn Why SEO isn't what you sell, it's what it gets your clients. The tax mistake that cost $10K (and what Pete did right). How to lead through chaos with perspective, not panic. Why timeless principles beat trendy tactics every time. How realness (not AI avatars) builds lasting trust. Key Takeaways Clients buy outcomes, not SEO jargon: Sell the lakehouse dream, not the traffic report. Tax mistakes can kill momentum. Hire experts early: A $10K bill could've derailed everything, but Pete owned it and leveled up his support team. Stay resilient when the storm hits: Business will test you. What keeps you going is clarity, not hustle. Tools change, principles don't: Focus on client results, clear communication, and solving problems—not shiny new platforms. Authenticity wins: Forget perfect video. Scrappy, honest content builds trust that converts. Sell what they need, not what you want to deliver: Pete got a client for life by solving a $0 “do not index” issue. That's value. What's the most unexpected challenge you've faced as an agency owner? How did you handle it when things went sideways? Agency life is full of curveballs, and the only way to keep your business alive is by maintaining perspective and resilience when the unexpected hits. Today's featured guest once thought he would lose all the progress he'd made with his agency when the state hit him with a surprise $10K sales tax bill he didn't even know existed. But now, he looks back and laughs, recognizing that getting through it came down to trusting the right professionals and staying the course. He firmly believes that keeping your business afloat for the long haul means remembering why clients hire you in the first place — and that focusing on the outcomes that matter is what builds trust and closes deals. Pete Kleinjan is the founder and owner of Tiger29, an SEO agency that helps local small businesses achieve their sales goals. His agency isn't a sprawling team of 50; it's a small, sharp crew focused on what small business clients actually care about: more phone calls, more leads, more sales. In this episode, we'll discuss: The real reason clients want SEO. A lesson on team + preparedness. Perspective & resilience when things go sideways. Why you should focus on what won't change. Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources This episode is brought to you by Wix Studio: If you're leveling up your team and your client experience, your site builder should keep up too.

Ready to design faster and smarter? Go to wix.com/studio to get started. The Real Reason Clients Want SEO (And Why We Overcomplicate It) Pete's first job right out of college was doing credit card collection. It was awful but it trained him in being on the phone multiple hours a day having difficult conversations, which led to his next job selling wheelchair-accessible vans. As a salesperson, he quickly realized the key to more sales wasn't grinding harder—it was getting more qualified leads. After he communicated his drive to help bring in more leads, the company's developer threw him a Wikipedia link to SEO, and Pete dove in, learned FTP, and started tweaking pages himself. That hands-on hunger turned into a full-fledged agency by 2009. It's a story he still tells prospects because he knows clients don't want SEO; they want what SEO brings. They want sales, the Cadillac, the lakehouse dream—not rankings or traffic screenshots, and leading with that terminology could just push them away. Pete urges agency owners to remember this because it speaks to what small business owners care about: “How do I get more of the customers I want?” When you lead with jargon, you lose your prospect. Lead with the transformation. The Unexpected $10K Sales Tax Bill (And a Lesson on Team + Preparedness) A couple of years into his agency, Pete received a letter from the state labeled “sales tax review” (not audit, but let's be real—it was an audit). Turns out, in South Dakota, consulting services are taxable, and the state decided local SEO link-building and citation placement fell under “taxable consulting.” This little “surprise” ended with Pete writing a $10,000 check to the state. For a moment, Pete considered fighting it and asked his attorney brother for advice. However, his brother put it in perspective for him: pay the $10K or pay a lawyer to sue and likely have the state fight you all the way to the Supreme Court. It wasn't fun, but it was the best decision for his peace of mind. For him, the big takeaway was: Hire a good bookkeeper and CPA who know your local tax nuances. You don't want to be the expert in tax law, just like your clients shouldn't have to be experts in SEO. Pete chose not to pass that bill back to his clients because it was his mistake, and it would be unfair. But it also taught him to be proactive in areas outside his zone of genius by building a team of experts who handle the boring (but crucial) details. Perspective and Resilience When Things Go Sideways Pete's tax story caused sleepless nights at the time, but looking back, he laughs about it. Because here's the hard truth about agency ownership: Money challenges, curveballs, and “surprise” bills are going to happen. Your ability to weather these storms without spiraling is what separates owners who build sustainable agencies from those who burn out. When you've been in the game long enough, you realize it's never all rainbows, and there's always something around the corner that could trip you up. But when you remember why you're in business—to build a life you love, not just a bigger agency—it becomes easier to shake off setbacks and focus on what matters: your health, your team, your freedom, and your ability to keep moving forward. Focus on What Won't Change In a recent interview, Jeff Bezos was asked about how he thought things would change in five years. His answer was that instead of obsessing over what will change, he prefers focusing on what won't change. No matter what, clients will always want results. They'll always want things on time. They'll always want problems solved by real humans who care. Whether you're using AI, TikTok or any other platform, those core truths will remain. We can often get distracted by tools and trends (AI, new social platforms, “the next algorithm hack”). But the tools in your box will change; your job—to deliver transformation to clients—will not. Build your business around timeless principles like clear communication, trust, and delivering results, and you'll outlast any trend. AI, Avatars, and Authenticity With the coming wave of AI avatars, deepfakes, and synthetic influencers, how should agency owners use these tools while maintaining authenticity? Yes, you could deploy an AI influencer for your agency, especially if you're camera-shy. But as Pete shared, their social media commandment #1 is “it has to be real.” Their scrappy videos may not be as polished as some big agencies, but they convert because they're authentic, quirky, and genuinely helpful. In a future where clients may question if what they see online is real, your authenticity will become your moat. Using AI should amplify your agency's personality, not replace it, so let your realness be your competitive advantage. Selling What Clients Need, Not What You Want to Sell A small business owner struggling for two years with a site that wouldn't show up on Google. Why? A simple “do not index” box was checked in WordPress. Everyone else was trying to pitch her a free “strategy call” (AKA sales call), but Pete charged for an SEO Power Hour, solved her problem immediately, and won her trust. The takeaway for Pete was that it's good he didn't default to “selling a new website” when a client came for SEO. Don't push a service because it's your highest margin offer. Sell what they actually need. When you do, you become their trusted advisor, not another expense they're trying to cut. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

We brought a surprise guest to our LIVE TBOY show in Chicago: Chris Barman, CEO of the wildest (and newest) electric car brand.Jeff Bezos invested, and Chris is leading it. Slate's not just building the lowest-priced electric truck on the market ($25K), it's also the craziest: No radio, no touchscreen, no tech whatsoever. We (jokingly) call it the “Amish-Inspired Electric Car.” And she built hype for the launch by creating a bunch of fake companies (true story).So in today's interview from our live Chicago show, Chris explains how it's possible to build and sell a car for $25. She'll tell us the craziest idea they *didn't* launch, why they crash half their vehicles on purpose, and what she thinks of President Trump's EV moves.Want to SEE the live show in action?

Software is eating the world, right? We've all heard this phrase by now, but inventor and investor Pablos Holman has something important to add: “The world can't eat software.”That's why Pablos focuses on “deep tech”, i.e. how to invent new solutions to real world problems like energy, water, waste, construction, and sanitation. Pablos says we're still mostly using version 1.0 technology for these fundamental systems, but recent advances, including AI and the ability to prototype and test in software, are enabling incredible innovation in hardware.Pablos has worked with Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and more. He's kind of a mad scientist and in this episode we'll discuss things that sound like science fiction, but that Pablos says are coming soon, such as solar panels in outer space that can beam clean energy down to earth, autonomous cargo ships blown by the wind across the ocean, and tiny nuclear reactors buried a mile underground that power the world above. At Deep Future, Pablos is on a mission to solve the world's biggest problems, and he's hoping more people will make the jump that he did from software to hardware and into deep tech, because, as he says, “ all the people who've been building software their entire career, those are the ones who are going to save the world.”—Chapters02:25 Deep tech and why it's so important05:56 How Pablos became an inventor07:44 Getting Blue Origin off the ground11:35 Running an invention lab at Intellectual Ventures13:40 Why solar panels in space will soon power Earth16:46 Why all problems are energy problems21:33 Better nuclear reactors are coming28:25 How rapid iteration in software enables better hardware31:35 An appeal to software people to get into deep tech — and save the world—Links:Deep Future book, podcast, and firm: deepfuture.techPopTech conference: poptech.org (if you're new to PopTech and would like a discount, email me or DM me on LinkedIn)Sign up for the CRAFTED. newsletter: crafted.fmLearn more about how Modern Product Minds can help you build the future: modernproductminds.comEmail me: dan@modernproductminds.com

Prepare for game-changing AI insights! Join Noelle Russell, CEO of the AI Leadership Institute and author of Scaling Responsible AI: From Enthusiasm to Execution. Noelle, an AI pioneer, shares her journey from the early Alexa team with Jeff Bezos, where her unique perspective shaped successful mindfulness apps. We'll explore her "I Love AI" community, which has taught over 3.4 million people. Unpack responsible, profitable AI, from the "baby tiger" analogy for AI development and organizational execution, to critical discussions around data bias and the cognitive cost of AI over-reliance.Key Moments: Journey into AI: From Jeff Bezos to Alexa (03:13): Noelle describes how she "stumbled into AI" after receiving an email from Jeff Bezos inviting her to join a new team at Amazon, later revealed to be the early Alexa team. She highlights that while she lacked inherent AI skills, her "purpose and passion" fueled her journey."I Love AI" Community & Learning (11:02): After leaving Amazon and experiencing a personal transition, Noelle created the "I Love AI" community. This free, neurodiverse space offers a safe environment for people, especially those laid off or transitioning careers, to learn AI without feeling alone, fundamentally changing their life trajectories.The "Baby Tiger" Analogy (17:21): Noelle introduces her "baby tiger" analogy for early AI model development. She explains that in the "peak of enthusiasm" (baby tiger mode), people get excited about novel AI models, but often fail to ask critical questions about scale, data needs, long-term care, or what happens if the model isn't wanted anymore.Model Selection & Explainability (32:01): Noelle stresses the importance of a clear rubric for model selection and evaluation, especially given rapid changes. She points to Stanford's HELM project (Holistic Evaluation of Language Models) as an open-source leaderboard that evaluates models on "toxicity" beyond just accuracy.Avoiding Data Bias (40:18): Noelle warns against prioritizing model selection before understanding the problem and analyzing the data landscape, as this often leads to biased outcomes and the "hammer-and-nail" problem.Cognitive Cost of AI Over-Reliance (44:43): Referencing recent industry research, Noelle warns about the potential "atrophy" of human creativity due to over-reliance on AI. Key Quotes:"Show don't tell... It's more about understanding what your review board does and how they're thinking and what their backgrounds are... And then being very thoughtful about your approach." - Noelle Russell"When we use AI as an aid rather than as writing the whole thing or writing the title, when we use it as an aid, like, can you make this title better for me? Then our brain actually is growing. The creative synapses are firing away." Noelle Russell"Most organizations, most leaders... they're picking their model before they've even figured out what the problem will be... it's kind of like, I have a really cool hammer, everything's a nail, right?" - Noelle RussellMentions:"I Love AI" CommunityScaling Responsible AI: From Enthusiasm to Execution - Noelle Russell"Your Brain on ChatGPT" - MIT Media LabPower to Truth: AI Narratives, Public Trust, and the New Tech Empire - StanfordMeta-learning, Social Cognition and Consciousness in Brains and MachinesHELM - A Reproductive and Transparent Framework for Evaluating Foundation ModelsGuest Bio: Noelle Russell is a multi-award-winning speaker, author, and AI Executive who specializes in transforming businesses through strategic AI adoption.

C dans l'air l'invitée du 21 juillet 2025 - Raphaëlle Bacqué, grand reporter au journal Le Monde"L'âge d'or de l'Amérique commence maintenant !", a lancé Donald Trump lors de son investiture, le 20 janvier 2025. Ce jour-là, à ses côtés : les anciens présidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, et la vice-présidente Kamala Harris. Mais ce que l'on retient surtout, c'est la présence d'Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai ou encore Sam Altman, figures de proue de la tech américaine. Dans une série de six articles, la journaliste Raphaëlle Bacqué retrace leur ascension fulgurante et leur ralliement progressif à Donald Trump. Certains étaient pourtant de fervents défenseurs des démocrates. En 2021, après l'assaut du Capitole, Meta avait suspendu les comptes de Trump. Quatre ans plus tard, Mark Zuckerberg verse un million de dollars à l'organisation de l'investiture de Donald Trump et s'apprête à l'indemniser à hauteur de 25 millions. Chez Meta, les sujets politiques, religieux ou liés au genre sont désormais tabous. Une dérive autocratique s'observe au sein de l'entreprise.Le virage est général. Jeff Bezos, propriétaire du "Washington Post" depuis 2013, avait lui aussi soutenu Hillary Clinton, puis Joe Biden. Il a depuis obtenu que la rédaction s'abstienne de prendre parti pour la dernière présidentielle américaine. Les affaires priment sur les idéologies. Quant à Elon Musk, hilare au premier rang, il incarne à la fois la démesure et l'audace. Sur X (ex-Twitter), il insulte, modifie les algorithmes au gré de ses humeurs et attaque désormais Donald Trump sur l'affaire Epstein. De meilleur ami à meilleur ennemi, le divorce entre Donald Trump et Elon Musk semble consommé.Comment ces patrons de la tech ont-ils rallié Donald Trump ? Quelle influence exercent-ils sur la vie politique américaine ? Et comment redessinent-ils les rapports de pouvoir ?Raphaëlle Bacqué, grand reporter au journal Le Monde décrypte comment les patrons de la Silicon Valley, de Google à Amazon en passant par Meta, ont choisi de rallier Donald Trump.

This week welcome Stacie Greenwell into the Pol' Atteu Beverly Hills Boutique. Hollywood may be built on stories, but few are as fiercely fabulous and unexpectedly heartfelt as hers. In our dazzling “Undressed” sit-down, we welcome the award-nominated scene-stealer whose breakout line “F*ck the police” from Amazon Prime Video's Cross had fans gagged—and law enforcement shook! Kicking things off with signature sass, we roll out the red carpet for Stacie (yes, in green!) and dive into her seriously stacked resume—from Shameless to Sharp Objects with Amy Adams, to Big Little Lies with Reese Witherspoon and The Pit (hello, twisted testicles!). She spills all about being handpicked by the late, legendary director Jean-Marc Vallée, who kept sliding her into emotional scenes because he saw something extraordinary in her. Spoiler alert: he was right. But the real plot twist? Before stealing scenes on screen, Stacie was slaying in the courtroom. A University of Virginia Law grad and former Washington D.C. bankruptcy attorney, she recounts the life-changing moment in a law library when a voice whispered, “This is not your life.” One mock trial and a wig later, she was hooked on performance—and Broadway, baby! We insist she got off the bus and landed on a billboard. Honestly? Not far from the truth. As the convo heats up, on our Gown and Out in Beverly Hills connections to Modern Family, and bond with Stacie over shared Emmy hopes. (She was submitted for not one but TWO categories: Guest Actress in The Pit and Supporting Actress in Cross—yes, queens manifest!) We even get some juicy Jeff Bezos wedding FOMO, throwbacks to our Emmys encounter, and why Beverly Hills PD officers are hotter than hot. (Six-packs and skincare routines? Sign us up.) The glamour hits a cosmic high with Pol's Armenian coffee reading, which brings chills and truth bombs. An "E" appears in Stacie's cup—revealing Cousin Erica as her spiritual anchor and greatest supporter. The reading also uncovers her desire to write—a second calling that's destined to unlock a whole new dimension of her career. Whether it's a memoir, screenplay, or her own pilot, the universe is saying: the pen is your power, girl. ✍️ This episode is brimming with soul, sparkle, and major laughs—from nipping dogs and self-tape disasters to iconic moments with Martha Stewart, Katie Couric, and Judge Lauren Lake (yes, the singing judge!). It's a masterclass in intuition, reinvention, and letting your spirit lead you from the courtroom to the soundstage.
WATP Karl takes down Girls Rewatch, Epstein List backlash, Fyre sale, Sydney Sweeney in lingerie, Jessica Alba's new dong, the Gen Z stare, Emmy nominations, and Drew Crime: an American Idol murder & MLB pitcher turned murderer. Drew has the hiccups again. Scott Burnstein has the answer to who killed Jimmy Hoffa. The Big Dumper, Cal Raleigh, won the MLB 2025 Home Run Derby. He totally predicted it when he was 8-years-old. Diddy is doing the work in prison. He's in therapy to avoid a long sentence. Beyoncé is flying again. Some of her crap was stolen from her dancer's car. Dentist James Craig is a terrible husband and probably a bad dentist. “Blackface” ruined Holden Hughes. It was actually Greenface, so he sued. Britney Spears rants like a mad woman. We watch Britney off her meds. Jessica Alba has a new man. She's extremely rich, btw. Sydney Sweeney's boobs are launching a lingerie line. Jeff Bezos is funding it. Blake Lively is targeting YouTubers. Richard Dreyfuss is dying ASAP… or he didn't want to go to the Jaws convention. Wolfgang Van Halen is probably the dude that angered Sharon Osbourne. It's not Motley Crue according to Motley Crue. Karl from WATP drops by to rip StutJo a little more, destroy Lena Dunham on the Girls Rewatch Podcast, make fun of Gregg ‘Opie' Hughes and more. Only 40 tickets remain for the LIVE WATP show with us and Dave Landau. Andy Green is still touring NYC. Trudi calls out the ‘Gen Z Stare'. Rob Wolchek drops another stellar Hall of Shame. The Emmy nominations dropped. Jared Goff's wife popped out their first kid. Drew Crime: Former MLB pitcher Dan Serafini found guilty of murdering his in-laws. An American Idol professional was murdered. Republicans are blocking Jeffrey Epstein information from being released. Kevin Spacey wants the files out now. The Lufthansa CEO's wife hit and killed a woman. A 114-year-old has died… of a hit and run! Billy McFarland is the worst. He sold the Fyre brand for a measly $245K. Drew is obsessed with some turd film named Parthenope. Drew does not recommend it. If you'd like to help support the show… consider subscribing to our YouTube Channel, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter (Drew Lane, Marc Fellhauer, Trudi Daniels, Jim Bentley and BranDon).
