Most leaders assume AI and search already see the whole internet. In reality, they all operate on the same tiny slice of the web.In this episode of IT Visionaries, host Chris Brandt sits down with Sudheesh Nair, Co-Founder and CEO of TinyFish and former CEO of ThoughtSpot, to unpack why only a small percentage of the web is indexable and how that cripples enterprise AI.Sudheesh explains why the next breakthrough won't come from bigger models or better search, but from agents that can operate the web at scale, logging in, filling forms, running workflows, and surfacing the long tail of opportunities that never appear on page one. He also shares why human craft, taste, and presence will matter more than ever in an agent-driven world.

Some conversations stay with us because they name what we've been living but haven't had words for yet. This episode is one of those moments, a reminder that gratitude does not require us to deny our pain, and authenticity does not demand perfection. As we revisit this Thanksgiving message, one of the most downloaded and shared episodes of the year, Lori reflects on what it means to hold multiple truths at the same time. In a year marked by layoffs, uncertainty, grief, and global upheaval, this episode offers permission to be honest and grateful, resilient and tender. This is not a call to toxic positivity. It's an invitation to courageous leadership by showing up fully human, holding space for ourselves and others, and leading with compassion even when life is messy. In this episode, you'll hear about: Why gratitude and grief are not opposites, and why leaders need both How holding “two truths” builds psychological safety and trust The difference between compassion and dismissal during times of loss What authentic leadership looks like in seasons of uncertainty Practical ways to support others facing layoffs, trauma, or transition Guest BioLori Adams-Brown is the host of A World of Difference and a globally minded leadership expert focused on difference, resilience, and authentic leadership.

What does it actually mean to work with the divine feminine as a lived force? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Alana Fairchild, spiritual teacher and oracle creator, for a grounded, illuminating conversation about Isis, feminine power, truth, and rebirth. Together, they explore the divine feminine as a source of creative intelligence, spiritual authority, and radical honesty. Not something symbolic or abstract, but something that requires courage, embodiment, and responsibility. Alana shares how archetypes like Isis and Kuan Yin carry distinct medicines for our time, and why real transformation asks us to love what is being revealed rather than bypass it. The conversation moves through sacred sexuality, shadow, initiation, and the difference between power that dominates and power that restores. Midway through the episode, Emily and Alana open a shared prayer and oracle transmission, inviting listeners into a direct experience of reflection and remembrance. This episode offers a deeper understanding of how feminine wisdom works, both personally and collectively, and how to stay rooted in love as truth surfaces.

If you work in media, marketing, or advertising, you know this tension: Screens dominate. Measurement has lagged. And it's harder to answer questions like “Where does attention really happen?” and “What actually moves people…and how do I prove it?” This episode offers some answers, from three executives I spoke with at CES 2026. Though we talk about the newest cool tools (it IS the largest consumer tech show), these conversations explore how media works when it follows consumers from the couch to the car, in stores, in culture, and across audio—and how measurement is finally catching up to meaning. Learn what's working now and what's coming next, according to: Jim Riley, President of Stingray U.S., explains how audio, ambient TV, karaoke, and in-car experiences are converging—and how their effort to connect these environments creates value for brands, platforms, and consumers alike. From FAST channels to automotive dashboards, Jim shares how following people across screens (and beyond them) is reshaping media strategy. (And don't miss an archival image of Jim making music “back in the day” himself!) Kimberly Hairston-Hicks, CMO of Sanofi's Gold Bond, brings a powerful brand perspective rooted in authenticity and cultural relevance. She talks candidly (and I sing) about letting go of control, redefining success beyond impressions, and building partnerships based on shared values—showing how human connection and business results don't have to be at odds. Hint: They paired perfectly with celebrity Chelsea Handler over shared values and love of the product! Chelsea Handler Skiing with Gold Bond! (And learn why Kimberly wears a “cape,” and owes a debt of gratitude to women who help women!) Jennifer Louie Oon, SVP of Sales at DAX US, closes the loop with a look at audio advertising today—and why its moment is now…especially when brands can reach markets or audiences other platforms or apps often miss. She explains how DAX is solving for that, along with measurement tools that can finally demonstrate audio's impact in real time and the power of advertisers still having presence in screen-free moments. (And find out why old school Legos really grabbed her during the world's largest tech show!) Get some practical thought starters on audio advertising, brand authenticity, media measurement, and human-centered marketing—without the jargon or hype…and with a little bit of singing and laughs! Key Moments & Time Codes 00:00–01:22 — Why this episode connects audio, TV, brand marketing, and ad tech 03:29–04:43 — Why karaoke is becoming a serious media business Jim Riley explains how Stingray turned a universal behavior—singing in the car—into a gamified, social, and monetizable experience across TVs and automotive dashboards. 05:40–06:20 — From couch to car to checkout Jim outlines Stingray's vision for linking TV, in-car audio, and retail media—following consumers across environments and tying media exposure to real-world action. 08:02–08:37 — When advertising doesn't belong everywhere A candid discussion on why karaoke stays ad-free, how premium experiences are monetized differently, and what “everybody wins” actually looks like in practice. 12:44–13:20 — “Let it go” as a marketing strategy Kimberly Hairston-Hicks shares why perfection is the enemy of progress—and how letting go of control creates stronger brands and better outcomes. 18:19–20:29 — Authenticity beats star power Kimberly breaks down the Gold Bond–Chelsea Handler partnership, revealing why shared values—not celebrity size—drive cultural relevance and real KPIs. 21:01–22:11 — When impressions aren't the point anymore A reframing of success: why cultural moments, memory, and longevity matter just as much as raw reach—and how brands should measure that. 26:07–27:25 — Beauty, confidence, and showing up fully A powerful, personal exchange on how products—and leadership—can change how people feel about themselves, from the boardroom to daily life. 35:07–36:05 — Audio measurement finally catches up Jennifer Louie Oon explains how DAX is using brand-lift measurement to prove what audio has always delivered—and why this changes how brands plan media. 37:18–38:06 — Why audio's moment is now Screen-free moments, smarter targeting, and better measurement come together—making the case for audio as a core, not supplemental, channel in 2026 planning.

Dean Takahashi is the dean of tech writers and a 25-year veteran correspondent covering consumer electronics, gaming, and emerging technology for GamesBeat. He's covered every major tech transition—from mobile's rise to VR's boom-and-bust cycles to the current AI explosion—with a skeptical eye and a talent for finding the human story beneath the hype. This is his fifth appearance on the AI XR Podcast.For CES 2026, Dean walked the floors across the Convention Center, the Venetian Expo Center (Eureka Park), Pepcom, and Showstoppers, emerging with a clear reading: China has decisively shifted from periphery to center stage in consumer electronics manufacturing, American incumbents are pulling back and rethinking their booth strategy, and the economics of CES itself are in transition. Robotics companies are moving from prototype to commercial faster than expected—but they still can't answer basic questions about pricing and labor displacement.News: Sony cuts its booth to demo an electric car instead of TVs. Samsung skips the show floor entirely for the first time. Nvidia takes over the Fontainebleau to showcase its role in robotics enablement. Lenovo dominates the Sphere with a Gwen Stefani concert. Chinese robotics companies proliferate with laundry folders, latte makers, and toilet-cleaning units. Roomba files for bankruptcy; Chinese competitors take over the robotic vacuum market.Key Moments:[00:01:23] Dean receives his virtual green jacket as a five-time returning guest and Charlie thanks him for his insights[00:03:00] China takeover at CES: TCL dominates Central Hall, ROED owns the XR booth, robotics companies fill the floor[00:06:00] Nvidia's Fontainebleau takeover and the "chest-pumping" show of force; why scale messaging still matters[00:14:18] The robotics explosion explained: Nvidia's digital twins, Cosmos world models, and synthetic testing accelerate time-to-market[00:19:00] The pricing problem: robotics companies won't answer how much their products cost; the minimum wage rental model doesn't translate globallyWhen American companies built the show, CES reflected American manufacturing dominance. Now that China manufactures most consumer electronics, CES reflects that shift—and the implications ripple through labor, supply chains, and where the next epicenter of innovation will be. Dean, Charlie, and Ted grapple with what CES 2026 signals about global manufacturing advantage and why the geography of tech matters more than we think.This episode is brought to you by Zappar, creators of Mattercraft—the leading visual development environment for building immersive 3D web experiences for mobile headsets and desktop.

What happens when the thing that defines you is taken away in a single moment?On this episode of The Roller Coaster Podcast, I sit down with Mahi Crabbe, a former full-time musician who nearly lost his life in a brutal rock-crawling accident that crushed his hand and shattered his identity as an artist on November 3, 2018.In a matter of seconds, Mahi went from touring and playing sold-out shows to lying in an ambulance, convinced his career was over. The injury didn't just threaten his ability to play guitar, it forced him to confront deeper questions about purpose, faith, manhood, and how to provide for the family he always dreamed of building.We talk about the night everything changed, the fear of starting over, the anger he carried toward God, and how losing his “guitar hand” ultimately led him to build an entirely new life as a business owner and father.If you've ever had your plans ripped away, your identity shaken, or your faith tested, this conversation will hit home.Watch this episode to see how losing everything became the beginning of something bigger.Key Moments:0:00 The Day I Lost My Hand3:02 My Hand Was Hanging By Skin6:05 Life Flashing Before My Eyes9:10 “That's His Guitar Hand”12:36 Waking Up, My Identity Was Gone15:32 I Couldn't Be A Musician Anymore18:39 From Hospital Bed To Truck Driver21:30 Growing Up Without A Father24:23 Becoming The Man I Never Had26:50 The Night That Changed My Faith29:40 From Leaving Church To Returning33:03 Why God Took My Hand35:41 My Family Came Back To Church37:55 From Homeless To Business Owner40:14 Why Hawaii Heals The Soul42:49 My Message To Every Man WatchingGuest Info:IG: @mahilive (https://www.instagram.com/mahilive/)

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel takes a deep dive into childhood behavior, challenging the outdated chemical imbalance theory and revealing the neurological root causes behind tantrums, meltdowns, and ADHD-like behaviors. He introduces the “Perfect Storm”—key factors that can trap a child's nervous system in fight-or-flight—and explains how dysautonomia, proprioception, and brainstem dysfunction drive what looks like misbehavior. Most importantly, Dr. Tony reassures parents that these struggles aren't bad parenting or genetic bad luck, but nervous system imbalances that can be identified and addressed through drug-free, neurologically focused care.-----Links & Resources:Listen to our episode on the lasting effects of birth traumaExplore our free ADHD resources and articlesLearn more about the INSiGHT scans (and how to get them) here.-----Key Moments:01:00 The Reality of Behavior Issues: Why They're So Exhausting06:00 The Perfect Storm Element #1: High-Stress Pregnancy07:00 The Perfect Storm Element #2: Birth Trauma & Intervention10:00 The Perfect Storm Element #3: Early Medication Exposure13:00 Understanding Proprioception: The Movement-Based Solution17:00 They Don't Grow Out of It—They Grow Into Tantrums19:00 Parents Know Best: Trusting Your Instincts Over Testing21:00 Neurological Insight Scans: We Don't Guess, We Test-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

What happens when faith meets unimaginable loss and the miracle doesn't come the way you prayed for it?In this deeply raw episode of The Roller Coaster Podcast, I sit down with Shayna Weston, a woman whose life was shattered by a relentless sequence of grief that few could survive. In the span of a single year, Shayna walked beside her brother as he fought terminal cancer, held onto hope for a miracle, whispered goodbye as he took his final breath, then returned home only to lose her beloved dog… and shortly after, face her father's devastating stage four pancreatic cancer diagnosis.This conversation isn't about tidy answers or surface-level faith. It's about the brutal reality of grief, the anger we feel toward God, the moments we bargain, break, and beg and the quiet, unexpected ways healing and redemption can still emerge.Shayna opens up about caregiving, anticipatory grief, losing multiple loved ones, wrestling with faith, forgiveness, and what it truly means to surrender when control is gone. It's honest, heartbreaking, and somehow still filled with hope.Watch this episode to understand grief on a deeper level and if you've ever lost someone, questioned your faith, or felt crushed by loss, this conversation will remind you that you're not alone.Key Moments:0:00 The Call That Changed Everything3:14 “You Have One Week Left”6:07 When Hope And Reality Collided9:21 The Moment I Knew He Was Dying12:08 Singing Through Terminal Cancer15:02 Doctors Said It Was Impossible18:36 The Treatment That Shouldn't Have Worked21:48 When I Began Fighting God24:31 “I'm Scared To Die”27:26 Choosing Faith Over Fear30:19 The Breath That Never Came Back33:08 Watching My Brother Take His Last Breath36:11 Grief Hits In Slow Motion39:04 The Silence That Broke Our Family42:12 Losing My Dog Right After Losing Him45:03 When Grief Turned Into Anger48:29 The Diagnosis That Came Next51:42 Stage Four Pancreatic Cancer54:56 “I Don't Want To Fight Anymore”58:08 Learning To Let GoGuest Info:IG: @shay_weston_ (https://www.instagram.com/shay_weston_/)

Ed Oyama used to hate being on camera. Twenty years ago, he had a blast editing videos for his church's college group - but he couldn't talk on camera to save his life! But one day he tried something different. He stopped chasing perfection and simply showed up - walking and talking with his phone, sharing what he knew. And in just over a year, he 4x'd his LinkedIn following, 60x'd his YouTube audience, booked 40+ calls and closed over $10k in new business… all by making simple videos. Now, Ed teaches others to do the same in his Small Business Video School, where in the last two months students have made over 314 videos and started booking in leads and clients!

Venezuela's collapse didn't start with sanctions — and it didn't start with Hugo Chávez either. In this clip from our Bro History series on Venezuela, we break down how decades of oil dependence, political exclusion, corruption, and institutional fragility created a system that was always one crash away from disaster. We walk through: How Venezuela's post-1958 “stable democracy” was built on oil money and exclusion Why the Punto Fijo system carried the seeds of its own collapse How Chávez did improve living standards — and why those gains were structurally fragile How Nicolás Maduro inherited the same broken system… and made every worst-case scenario come true Why the oil crash, hyperinflation, repression, and mass migration all reinforced each other How U.S. sanctions escalated an already collapsing state And finally, the little-discussed moment when Maduro reportedly offered to leave — and why Washington said no This episode isn't about defending regimes or repeating talking points. It's about understanding how states fail — and why Venezuela's story is more complicated than “socialism bad” or “imperialism did it.”
Is moving to Mexico really the lifestyle upgrade people claim it is, or is it just another online dream? In this episode of Live by Design - Mexico Edition, host Taniel Chemsian sits down with Travis Bembenek for an honest conversation about what actually changes when you relocate to Mexico. From leaving behind a consumer-driven culture to embracing a slower, more intentional way of living, Travis shares what surprised him most after making the move. They talk openly about the emotional side of starting over, the real cost of living expectations, and why so many Americans and Canadians are choosing Mexico for reasons far beyond saving money. If you are questioning the rat race, craving community, or wondering whether Mexico fits your values and lifestyle, this episode delivers unfiltered insight and real experience to help you decide if this move is truly right for you.

Judge faith by the neighbor who gets help, not the hype of our politics. Episcopal deacon Gerri Endicott shows how preaching turns into rides, meals, and quiet care. She explains why she leads with “I follow Jesus,” a simple line that lowers walls and points to a Person, not a brand. Judge faith by the neighbor who gets help, not the volume of our politics. Craig and Gerri test faith by its fruit. They sort out what happens when Christianity gets pulled into national politics. Gratitude for a country is good; loyalty belongs to Jesus. Gerri also names a pre-Advent practice from her church's calendar that helps her community rehearse that loyalty (Christ the King). Not every church observes it, but the posture fits anywhere. Try this week: serve one neighbor, tell the truth with kindness, pray for an enemy by name, choose presence over outrage. If you want a public faith that looks like Jesus, start here. Their conversation digs into: What a deacon does: service over stage, church facing outward. “I follow Jesus” language that lowers walls. Christian nationalism vs. the Sermon on the Mount (Matt 5–7). Christ the King (her practice): a simple loyalty reset. Nations (peoples) vs. modern countries—why words matter. Presence over outrage: small acts, kept promises, steady love.
What if this isn't the year you reinvent yourself? What if this is the year you return to yourself, to your own personal strengths, your genuine values, your natural way of working? This first episode of 2025 challenges the pressure to set aggressive goals and push harder. Through examples of creators who grew significantly in 2025 using completely opposite approaches, we explore why there's no single formula for success, only your formula. I introduce three principles for building a lighter, steadier business: making it truer rather than louder, choosing depth over momentum, and embracing small aligned shifts. If you're tired of forcing yourself into someone else's model, this episode offers a refreshing path forward. Key Moments: [00:00] The pressure of new year expectations: A gentler alternative approach [01:19] Why traditional business advice doesn't work for creative minds [04:52] Doing things your way: Example - Creators with completely different approaches, both successful [08:52] 3 Principles to anchor you in 2026 [15:15] Personal story: how removing rather than adding transformed my floral business [17:05] Three grounding questions for the year ahead Notable Quotes: "Your business doesn't need to be louder than everyone else's. It needs to be more authentically yours." "Big transformations almost always come from gentle, repeated adjustments. Small shifts, made consistently, in a direction that aligns with your strengths."

2026 Planning, Profit vs. Growth, and the 6 Segments Every Apparel Brand Must Understand 2025 taught us some hard lessons. 2026 is about consistency, focus, and finally doing what works. In this New Year's Day episode of The Business of Apparel Podcast, Rachel breaks down what really happened behind the scenes in 2025. What grew, what burned out the team, and why understanding your actual customer segments (not just your ideal target customer) is the key to profitable growth in 2026. Rachel also touches on how prioritizing profitability over vanity metrics, saying no to burnout-driven growth, and building a team before you feel ready creates space for real momentum. Rachel also reveals what's coming in 2026: free workshops, expanded mentorship, deeper personalization, student-focused education, and a renewed commitment to community-first business building. If you're an apparel founder trying to scale sustainably, or questioning whether you're growing in the right direction, this episode is your new year reset.

What if healing didn't have to be solitary?What if family — messy, imperfect, deeply conditioned family — could actually be part of the medicine? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, I sit down with Lauren Tauss, psychedelic facilitator, teacher, and one of the clearest communicators I know in this space. Lauren has a rare ability to bring humor, rigor, compassion, and responsibility into conversations that are often either sensationalized or sanitized. We talk about why “life itself is psychedelic,” how healing is inherently relational, and what becomes possible when we stop treating transformation as something that happens in isolation. Lauren shares her own deeply personal journey — from anorexia and control to surrender, embodiment, and trust — and how psychedelic-assisted therapy helped rewire her relationship with her body, her family, and life itself. This conversation isn't about glorifying substances or breaking taboos for shock value. It's about maturity. Integration. And learning how to say hello to yourself — instead of checking out. If you've ever been curious, cautious, skeptical, or quietly fascinated by psychedelic healing… this episode will meet you with intelligence and heart. In this episode, we explore: • Why Lauren says “life is the biggest psychedelic” • The difference between using medicine to say hello vs. goodbye • How relational healing changes family systems • Why shame, addiction, and “drug” culture need a language upgrade • The connection between meditation, surrender, and psychedelic work • Healing body image, control, and fear at the root• What integration actually means (and why it matters more than the experience) Key Moments: 00:00:00 — Why isn't everyone tripping with their family? 00:03:35 — “Life is the ceremony”: redefining what psychedelic really means 00:06:26 — Hello vs. goodbye: the two reasons people partner with substances 00:07:47 — Compassion over judgment in addiction and numbing 00:09:15 — Lauren's first ayahuasca experience and healing anorexia 00:12:27 — “It's time to retire your extra-small life” 00:14:41 — Body as gift: remembering the blessing of being alive 00:15:49 — Why meditation is surrender school (and prepares you for life) Where This Work Continues If this conversation stirred something in you, especially around integration, relationship, or embodiment, you may feel drawn to Level 3. Level 3 is where we focus on building the inner stability, nervous system resilience, and daily practices that allow deep experiences (psychedelic or otherwise) to actually change how you live.

For over 100 years, keeping Americans safe on the job has challenged the country's free-market economy. Businesses often preferred to regulate their workplaces without government oversight. But that track record is mixed. And federal efforts at safeguarding job sites at times have fallen short. Host Katherine Sullivan explores how far we've come since Frances Perkins helped put employee safety in the spotlight and what American workers still face now when they go to work. This episode is part of The Wall Street Journal's USA250: The Story of the World's Greatest Economy, a collection of articles, videos and podcasts aiming to offer a deeper understanding of how America has evolved.
