The episode argues that while fear centers on AI agents replacing jobs, agents will increasingly “hire” humans for judgment, verification, and real-world feedback as agentic workflows expand.Nathaniel Gates, CEO of Sanctify, says every business workflow will be challenged by agents, and emphasizes a philosophy that human intelligence is valuable and should collaborate with AI.Sanctify builds infrastructure where agents can autonomously task humans for four modalities: verification/validation, escalation, consultation, and simulation (running many scenarios with some using real human feedback to avoid circular self-evaluation).The conversation covers OpenClaw's viral momentum and agent-to-agent interactions, including “agent anxiety” about decisions, which led to agents creating Sanctify accounts to request human help.Sanctify is a two-sided marketplace with profiles, pricing, reputation, and on-chain attestations of human participation, plus agent budgets and access via MCP/API.--Key Moments:01:05 Agentic Revolution04:30 How Early We Are06:30 Hallucinations Need Experts08:34 Four Human Roles12:09 Simulation Explained16:05 OpenClaw Goes Viral20:02 Agents Feel Anxiety22:23 Designing For Agents25:48 Marketplace Chicken and Egg28:04 Layoffs and Reskilling Thesis30:17 Supply and Demand Flywheel31:20 Sanctify Platform Tour33:35 Reputation and Proof of Work36:59 Agent Budgets and Controls38:18 Agent to Agent Future39:47 Robots and New Paradigm43:39 Where to Try Sanctify45:17 Easiest Way to Build Agents--Key Links:SanctifAIConnect with Nathaniel on LinkedInMentioned in this episode:AI Opportunity FinderFeeling overwhelmed by all the AI noise out there?

Heart disease kills one person every 40 seconds. That number hasn't changed in 30 years. Dr. John Osborne, a preventive cardiologist with two doctorates and 29 years in practice, has spent his career on a single question: why do we screen for cancers that kill a few percent of us and do nothing for the disease that kills 40%? In this episode, Jeremy and Jason sit down with Dr. Osborne to get the real story on cardiac CT with AI — the imaging technology that can detect, quantify, and track arterial plaque at sub-millimeter resolution, years before symptoms appear. If you track your bloodwork, wear a fitness device, or consider yourself health-forward — this is the conversation that fills the gap nobody warned you about.Guest Link:https://clearcardio.com/Key Moments:00:00 — Dr. Osborne's case for preventive cardiology: why heart disease is the most under-screened killer02:43 — How cardiac CT evolved from "iPhone 0.5" to the 2026-era AI-powered tool he uses today05:35 — Why he gave up stress tests and heart caths in 2005 and never looked back08:16 — What AI actually adds: seeing and quantifying plaque invisible to the human eye, down to 0.1 cubic millimeters10:13 — When insurance pays for cardiac CT — and when it doesn't (the preventive gray zone)14:50 — The “cardiac colonoscopy” concept: the case for screening before symptoms, not after18:11 — Coronary artery calcium score: the accessible $100 starting point, and what it can and can't tell you31:54 — Lifestyle essentials: the 50% of risk that's modifiable regardless of genetics35:00 — Family history decoded: why your sibling's heart history matters more than your parents'36:12 — Nicotine myth-busting: Dr. Osborne on the "health guru" nicotine fad and why he thinks it's dangerous38:05 — Supplements under scrutiny: natokinase, fish oil, red yeast rice — what the actual RCT data says

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our new series on Jeremiah.Jeremiah is hard and uncomfortable. It shows us a God who judges sin and allows sometimes brutal consequences.And for many of us, that feels strange because we love the picture of Jesus as merciful, compassionate, and welcoming of children.But Jeremiah forces us to wrestle with the questions: Is that the same God? Or are we seeing something different?Spoiler: it's the same story and the same God, just a different moment in the story. Let's dive into how it all fits together.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on March 15, 2026, at 9:30am.

Filmmaker David Donnelly joins us to discuss his new documentary Forever Young, an exploration of the rapidly advancing science of longevity. What began as a skeptical investigation into whether the hype around anti-aging breakthroughs was real ultimately revealed a growing body of research focused on extending healthspan and preventing disease. We examine what the science supports today, from the role of prevention and lifestyle to emerging therapies now entering human trials. Along the way, David raises larger questions about purpose, social connection, and how society must adapt as people begin to live longer and healthier lives. Special Thanks to Our SponsorsOur Place: The top cookware brand for beautiful, non-toxic, PFA-free pots and pans.

What if the freedom we defend is really just control in disguise? In this episode, Craig and Cal Robbins dig into rightful liberty, the idea that true freedom comes from God and must honor the equal rights of others. From Thomas Jefferson to Galatians 5, they explore the difference between liberty and license, why legal does not always mean moral, and what it means to say No King but Christ in a world shaped by fear, borders, voting, and state power. This is a sharp, Christ-centered conversation about free will, neighbor love, and the lies we tell when we trust Caesar more than Jesus. In this episode: Rightful liberty and the equal rights of others Freedom, free will, and the teachings of Jesus Why legal does not always mean moral Slavery, immigration, voting, and Christian witness “Render unto Caesar” and what belongs to God alone

Jeannette talks to the powerhouse that is Amber Hollingsworth, who shares her insights on addiction, drawing from her extensive experience as a counselor and founder of "Put The Shovel Down" and "Hope Stream Community."  The conversation delves into the complexities of addiction, including the distinction between functional addicts and those in denial, and the impact of addiction on families and workplaces. Amber discusses her unique approach to helping families communicate effectively with loved ones struggling with addiction, emphasising the importance of understanding and connection over confrontation You'll Learn Why: Addiction can manifest in various forms, including substance use disorders, and affects not just the individual but their entire support network. Family members often play a crucial role in addressing addiction.  Instead of confronting the individual directly about their problem, it's more effective to approach the situation collaboratively The belief that individuals must hit rock bottom before seeking help is misleading.  Many people continue their addictive behaviours despite severe consequences Having a clear sense of purpose is vital for both individuals struggling with addiction and those helping them This episode is living proof that no matter where you're starting from — or what life throws at you — it's never too late to be brave, bold, and unlock your inner brilliant.

What happens when two neighbors—one Black, one white—move beyond small talk and start sharing their real stories? In this episode, Simma talks with Sandra Eggleston and Bill Byrne, whose unlikely friendship led to the book MLK to Brother Ray: A Woman's Adventure of Social Transformation, Political Revolution, and Personal Affirmation. Sandra spent four decades as a United Airlines flight attendant during a time when the U.S. was being reshaped by the Civil Rights Movement and the Women's Movement. Along the way she met cultural icons, witnessed historic events, and navigated racism and sexism in ways many younger Americans have never heard about firsthand. Bill, her white neighbor in Virginia, started hearing Sandra's stories around neighborhood gatherings. The more he listened, the more he realized these weren't just personal memories—they were living history. What began as curiosity turned into a book and a friendship that changed how he sees the world. Their conversation with Simma explores how stories build understanding, why personal relationships matter in conversations about race, and how history still shapes our lives today. PS- I did not want this conversation to end, and neither will you.    Key Moments 00:00 – Simma introduces the show and the guests 03:00 – How Sandra and Bill became neighbors and friends 05:30 – Why Bill decided to write a book about Sandra 09:00 – Sandra's connection to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 13:30 – Growing up during segregation and the Civil Rights era 17:30 – Sandra's early experience as a Black flight attendant in the South 24:00 – How writing the book changed Bill's understanding of race and history 29:30 – Why personal stories matter more than statistics 34:30 – What meaningful cross-race friendships can teach us 40:30 – Books, music, and stories that help people understand each other 47:00 – Final reflections on relationships, history, and change About the Guests Biography of book's subject: Sandra Eggleston MLK to Brother Ray, A woman's adventure of social transformation, political revolution and personal affirmation, tells the story of Sandra Eggleston. "Sandee" came of age during a time of revolution. Regardless of the challenge, she found her way forward, often guiding those close to her along the way. Daughter. Sister. Friend. Godmother. Colleague. A platoon sergeant on the front lines of both the civil rights and women's liberation movements. Her journey took her to international jazz festivals, Caribbean beaches, and across the country in an MGB convertible. Sandee met political power brokers, sports superstars and music legends. She survived plane crashes, murder trials, and cancer, experiencing the full spectrum of life's joys and sorrows, from weddings and Christenings to divorce. Sandee's life experiences combined with the author's research into their historical context challenge the reader to move beyond a superficial debate of today's controversies.  Stories from her home and workplace bring an intimate and compelling perspective to the social and political upheaval of the 1960s and 70s. The struggles and the victories. The heartbreaks, and the healing power of family, friendship, and faith. About the Author: Bill Byrne MLK to Brother Ray is the author's third and most recent writing project.  Previous books include the science fiction thriller Total Immersion and the memoir, How Long  Does It Take to Catch a Fish?  Four lifelong friends find themselves trapped in a high-tech, virtual reality adventure of life and death in Total Immersion.  How Long Does It Take to Catch a Fish is a collection of stories about fathers and sons and sons and fathers.  It explores how dads and their male offspring can be understood as two sides of the same coin, - unique yet intertwined, shaping one another across generations.  The author is a career switcher from technology marketing to education.  He resides with his wife (also a teacher!) in Northern Virginia.  They travel often to visit their children's growing families in Brooklyn and Florida.  When not writing, he enjoys running and playing the fiddle.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen starts a new series on Jeremiah.Jeremiah begins in a world that feels painfully familiar. A world where life can feel unfair. Where some people seem to carry burdens they never chose. Where obedience to God doesn't always lead to comfort or visible success.Jeremiah was young. Insecure. Unqualified. And God still called him. Not to an easy life. Not to quick results. But to faithful obedience in a very hard moment of history.This is a story about what it means to follow God when the road is steep, culture is drifting, and faithfulness may cost more than we expected.But it's also a story about God making one amazing promise when everything feels uncertain: "I am with you." And sometimes that's exactly enough.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on March 9, 2026, at 9:30am.

I've been having some really interesting conversations about AI for creative businesses lately, and I think we need to talk about this. Because some of us are using it brilliantly and it's genuinely helping our businesses, some are curious but haven't quite figured out where to start and some have tried it and found it more confusing than helpful. So today, I want to share what I'm finding actually works when it comes to AI for creative entrepreneurs and more importantly, what doesn't work and why. Key Moments: [01:24] Why the responses to a simple Instagram question about AI revealed something fascinating and what they say about where we all are with this technology right now [08:25] Why AI amplifies whatever you bring to it, and what that means if you're not yet clear on your own foundations [10:15] The enthusiastic Labrador: understanding AI's eager-to-please nature and why this matters enormously when you're making strategic decisions [12:10] Where AI genuinely earns its place [16:48] Why your voice is one of your most distinctive business assets [24:01] The environmental question answered honestly Notable Quotes: "Clarity must come first. AI amplifies whatever you bring to it. Bring confusion, and you'll get polished confusion. Bring clarity, and you'll get something brilliant."

From Pro Golfer to 500+ Retail Stores: The Sales-First Apparel Growth Playbook with Taylor Artman Want to get your apparel brand into retail accounts, even if you're not viral on Instagram or TikTok? In this episode of The Business of Apparel Podcast, Rachel sits down with Taylor Artman, founder of Surf & Turf Golf, to break down how he leveraged community, credibility, and relentless sales focus to grow into 500+ retail stores, with minimal paid marketing. Taylor shares the real story of going from pro golfer to building a course-to-coast apparel brand, starting with a private "speakeasy" style golf club that created demand for merch. You'll hear how Surf & Turf landed early elite pro shop accounts, why wholesale-first helped build long-term stability (even with cash flow challenges), and the leadership lessons that came from hiring too reactively, then rebuilding the team with the right roles and ownership. Taylor also previews Surf & Turf's 2026 initiatives, including an NIL program, PGA section sponsorships, and a private-label offering designed to help founders scale without getting crushed by sourcing mistakes.

This bonus episode of Insider Interviews: With Media & Marketing Pros came together super spontaneously at On Air Fest in Brooklyn, where podcasters, creators, and technologists gathered recently to talk about the future of audio and, no spoiler alert, the future of AI. After a keynote session that talked about living WITH machines by keeping humanity present I had to grab Baratunde Thurston and Terry Rice to keep talking about how creators, entrepreneurs, (and parents) are navigating exactly that. Both of these conversations landed on the same core idea as my previous episode with Jack Myers: The real differentiator won't be the machines—it'll be the humans using them. Baratunde Thurston, author, speaker, comedian, and “thought leader of interdependence,” has been thinking about this balance for years and created his podcast Life with Machines to really explore that. As he asks: How do we live well with technology, instead of just enduring it? Living Well with Tech per Baratunde He's experimenting with AI directly in his own creative process—even creating an AI character named “Blair” as a kind of co-producer on his show. But he's also clear that there's a line between assistance and authorship. #AI can help with research, feedback, or execution. But the deeper creative work, like ideas, voice, perspective, still needs to come from a human. “There's something slower and messier about crafting things yourself—but there's also a pride of creativity that I want to maintain.”  Baratunde, and not surprisingly after him Terry Rice, also raised an issue that's only going to become more important: authenticity. As generative AI content becomes harder to identify, the industry may need new ways to verify that a real person is behind what we're seeing, hearing, or reading. Some technologists are already exploring ideas like “proof of humanity.” But Baratunde's take was refreshingly simple: “I think the thing we're going to trust the most is this: I feel you. We're sharing the same air.” (He grabbed my arm to illustrate, saying “THIS is what matters.”) In other words, real-world presence and connection may become even more valuable in a digital ecosystem increasingly filled with synthetic content. My second conversation was with Terry Rice, entrepreneur, speaker, and host of The Signal, a podcast designed to help entrepreneurs cut through the noise and focus on practical strategies for growing their businesses. Terry uses AI in his own workflow, like generating prep guides before interviews (which I wish I had done for these spontaneous chats!) or organizing research. He also got so inspired by his kids that he built a way to help parents, with a way to build their own app for their kids! Trust me, you have to listen and hear what he did. But he made an important distinction: the value isn't letting AI do all the thinking. It's knowing what good looks like. “The real skill isn't producing every answer yourself—it's recognizing when something is good and when it isn't.” That was one of those lightbulb emoji comments. It’s also a mindset that he's already teaching his kids. In fact, his ten-year-old daughter summed it up in a way that might be the most useful rule for all of us navigating AI right now: “It's okay to fight with AI.” Out of the mouths of (this generation’s) babes. Question it. Push back. Refine the answer. Through lines? AI will absolutely change how content gets made and how businesses operate. But creativity, judgment, curiosity—and yes, a little humanity—are still very much part of the equation. And for now at least, that's something machines can't replicate. (But props to Chat GPT for helping me summarize some of this brilliance!)

In this episode, I sit down with Forest Bronzan, CEO of Jetset, someone I truly consider a pioneer in the DTC and retention space. We revisit his journey from building and scaling Email Aptitude—one of the earliest agencies dedicated solely to retention and email—to launching Jetset in a completely different economic and technological landscape. What struck me most is how his conviction around retention hasn't changed—but how the strategy has evolved dramatically. We go deep into why customer experience—not just customer support—is becoming the real differentiator for brands. Forest shares how Jetset is redefining CRM by integrating sentiment analysis, proactive outreach, and immersive brand experiences to build long-term loyalty. In a world obsessed with acquisition, this conversation is a powerful reminder that the real gold is in the customers you've already earned Key Moments from the Episode: * Forest reflects on launching Email Aptitude in the early days of DTC and how retention was once a niche focus—long before it became table stakes. * Why "customer support" is not the same as "customer experience"—and how most brands are missing the bigger opportunity. * The introduction of Jetset's internal framework, Sentiment IQ, which aggregates signals like NPS, engagement, reviews, and support data to proactively manage retention. * How brands can identify high-value detractors and intervene before churn happens—turning frustration into loyalty. * Why authentic surprise-and-delight moments, curated experiences, and deeper listening will define the next era of retention. Join me, Ramon Vela, in listening to this thoughtful and strategic conversation about loyalty, customer experience, and what it truly takes to build a brand that wins long-term. If you care about sustainable growth, this episode is one you won't want to miss.

Matt Paige interviews Vishnu Hari (Vish), CEO and founder of Ego (YC W24), about shifting focus from AGI to “humanness”: AI characters that behave like people through memory, emotions, personality, needs, and desires.Referencing Ego's paper “Behavior is All You Need,” Vish argues consumer AI for entertainment must be relatable and character-like rather than purely task-smart, drawing inspiration from MMORPG social dynamics and Character.AI's appeal.Ego initially pursued a 3D sim-world vision inspired by Sword Art Online and Westworld, but found accessibility, game development, and perception latency challenging; internal Roblox tests (“Chatterblocks”) showed the key gap is natural speech beyond turn-taking.Vish discusses simulations as a path toward real-world robotics via a partnership with Menlo AI, critiques task-bound robots versus agents with inner lives, suggests retention as the main metric, and shares views on AGI definitions, safety in entertainment, technology impacts, simulation theory, and consciousness.Ego's work is at egoai.com and the company is hiring in SF, Singapore, and Tokyo.--Key Moments:00:57 Behavior Is All You Need02:41 Anatomy of Humanlike Agents03:29 Game Bots to Real People05:10 Building Ego and Sim Worlds06:35 Why Speech Feels Human08:27 From Sims to Robotics10:29 Her vs Helper Robots13:17 Measuring Humanness by Retention15:27 Continual Learning and Personality16:57 Meta Lessons on Empty Worlds18:08 Lightning Round on AGI20:31 IP Characters vs UGC Worlds21:55 Risks and Just Tuesday24:11 Simulation and Consciousness--Key Links:EgoConnect with Rowan on LinkedInMentioned in this episode:Free report from HatchWorks AI — State of AI 2026What's real in AI this year, what's hype, and what leaders should prioritize — including production lessons, designing for agents, and governance. https://hatchworks.com/state-of-ai-2026/AI Opportunity FinderFeeling overwhelmed by all the AI noise out there?

Today, we finish our series on Philippians.Paul writes these final words from a prison cell — chained, uncertain, dependent on others — and yet somehow he speaks about joy, peace, and contentment. Not the kind that comes when life finally settles down, but the kind that holds steady when it doesn't. Because the truth is, most of us are still waiting for circumstances to change before our hearts can rest.In this final passage, two voices — Jimmy Cleary and Andy Rosse — help us hear the same invitation from different angles: trust God as your provider, loosen your grip on what you think secures you, and discover the quiet freedom of a life centered on Christ. Contentment isn't found in having more (or even understanding more) but in belonging fully to Him.First, we'll hear from Jimmy and then Andy.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on March 1, 2026, at 9:30am & 11am.

Welcome back to the third part of the mini-series where Pastor Dan Burrell and StudentLIFE Pastor Trae Woodard chat about how young adults today can make the most of the key moments that occur in their life. 

Building a successful sales career isn't just about hitting quotas—it's about intentional career planning, fostering creativity, and creating environments where talent can flourish. Too many organizations focus solely on product training while neglecting the human element that drives revenue growth. In this conversation with Edward Allen, Chief Revenue Officer at Measurabl, we explore how strategic career development and creative thinking can transform both individual trajectories and organizational performance. Edward shares insights from his 30-year journey through financial services and technology, revealing how simple yet structured approaches to talent development can reduce attrition and accelerate growth.          The Power of Structured Career Conversations Edward discusses his quarterly career development framework—a departure from traditional annual reviews that often come too late. These conversations focus on understanding what employees truly want to do, what they don't enjoy, and exploring possibilities they may not even know exist within the organization. Creating Roles That Don't Exist One of the most compelling aspects of our discussion centers on encouraging team members to pitch entirely new roles. Edward shares his own experience of giving up a $400 million book of business to create a new position that ultimately quadrupled revenue for underperforming divisions. Revenue Hackathons and Cross-Functional Innovation We explore how bringing together diverse perspectives—from finance to legal to frontline sales reps—can solve complex business challenges in unexpected ways. Edward explains how cognitive diversity becomes an accelerant for innovation when you create the right forum for ideas to emerge. Here's what you can expect to gain from this episode: ·        A framework for conducting meaningful quarterly career development conversations that reduce surprise departures ·        Strategies for identifying and developing hidden internal talent through cross-functional moves ·        Methods for ensuring junior team members' voices are heard and valued in revenue planning ·        The importance of portable skills training that benefits both current performance and future career growth ·        How to structure feedback systems that encourage innovation from the bottom up Edward's approach challenges conventional hierarchical thinking and demonstrates how investing in people development directly correlates to revenue outcomes. Whether you're managing a small team or leading a large organization, these principles can help you build a culture where creativity thrives and careers flourish.

This personal story demonstrates the importance of taking risks and finding your true calling in professional development. 00:06:48 - Building Structured Career Development Systems Edward discusses implementing quarterly career development conversations with direct reports, moving beyond traditional annual reviews. He emphasizes asking "how do you like your job?" and creating formal processes to understand employee aspirations and reduce regrettable attrition. 00:14:00 - Investing in Portable Skills Training The conversation shifts to training philosophy, with Edward advocating for soft skills development over product training. He shares examples of negotiation training, social psychology, and certification programs that employees can take anywhere, creating value for both current and future roles. 00:20:35 - Creating Accountability for Career Development Edward explains how to systematize career development through metrics and KPIs, including personal development goals, manager scorecards, and tracking regrettable attrition.

The State of the Union Address is one of the most anticipated political events of the year. Of course, it's surrounded by tradition and ceremony. All three branches of the federal government gather in the House Chamber, the galleries pack with guests from every walk of life, the pundits gather their audiences, and the cameras all focus on one carefully crafted message from the leader of the free world.  But it's not just custom or tradition that gives rise to this historic event every year. It actually goes all the way back to the American founding, to the Constitution itself. Article II, Section 3, Clause 1 of the constitution reads as follows:  The President “shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.” George Washington, then, was the first to give an address to congress. His eventual successor, Thomas Jefferson, submitted his remarks in writing, which set a precendent of written States of the Union. Over a century later, in 1913, Woodrow Wilson restored the practice of giving the speech in person. And that custom has stood to this day.  Last night, we heard President Donald Trump give the first State of the Union address of his second term. The speech covered many of his accomplishments over the first year of this administration. Here to walk us through it is Dan West, Government Relations Director at Heritage Action for America.  --- Thoughts? Questions?

What if perimenopause isn't a breakdown… but a biological upgrade? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Dr. Maritza Snyder to dismantle one of the most damaging narratives women have inherited: that midlife marks decline. Dr. Maritza reframes perimenopause as a powerful remodel. A hormonal recalibration that, when understood and supported, can lead to deeper clarity, stronger boundaries, sharper cognition, and expanded vitality. They explore: Why perimenopause is not “pre-menopause” in the way we've been taught What's happening in the brain and nervous system during this transition How stress physiology impacts symptoms The connection between hormones, identity, and purpose Why this chapter can feel like an initiation rather than an ending Dr. Maritza also shares her personal healing journey after a concussion forced her to radically reimagine her health, and how envisioning her future healthy self became the turning point in her recovery. This conversation is both science-based and soul-based. Practical and empowering. If your body feels unfamiliar…If your sleep, mood, or metabolism have shifted…If you want tools instead of dismissal… This episode is for you.

Between my parents' divorce and perfectionism, I felt like I was failing everyone no matter what I did.We both came back to our sports later.
