In this Industry Insight episode of the On Aon podcast, Aon leaders Liz Henderson and Susan Doering examine how climate risk is redefining decision-making across the food, agribusiness and beverage (FAB) sector — and what it takes to stay ahead. Rather than viewing climate as a standalone exposure, the conversation frames it as a force shaping pricing stability, operational continuity and workforce strategy. Liz and Susan discuss how organizations can translate insight into action by strengthening data capabilities, aligning cross-functional priorities and deploying innovative risk transfer solutions. The focus is not only on managing disruption, but on unlocking greater certainty, protecting margin and positioning for long-term growth. Key Takeaways:   Climate risk is reshaping core business functions — from supply and pricing to talent — requiring leaders to embed it into enterprise decision-making, not manage it at the margins. Leading organizations are accelerating the shift to analytics-led strategies to help guide investment, inform planning and create confidence in uncertain conditions. Collaboration across the value chain — coupled with more sophisticated risk transfer solutions — is enabling organizations to stabilize supply, protect capital and pursue growth with greater certainty. Experts in this episode:    Liz Henderson, Global Head of Climate Risk Advisory, Aon Susan Doering, Global Food, Agribusiness and Beverage Leader and Enterprise Client Leader, Aon Key Moments:   (02:00) Why climate risk is no longer a standalone issue — and how it is amplifying supply chain disruption, pricing volatility and workforce pressures across the FAB sector. (07:30) A real-world example showing how climate shifts are already changing harvest timelines, crop quality and long-standing production practices. (15:30) What leadership looks like in practice — investing in analytics, aligning long-term planning and adopting new risk transfer approaches to create stability and support growth.   Soundbites:   Liz Henderson:  “At Aon, we like to think about climate as a risk amplifier rather than a standalone thing that you have to manage independently. It is a thread across all of those risk categories. And yet there's so much of the industry that remains unprotected.” Susan Doering:  “I'd like to make sure that people are thinking about it, not just as like when we think about climate risk, we often think it's about just impacts to physical assets. But really what we're seeing now is real issues around pricing volatility, so lack of predictable ingredient prices and quality impacts for specialty crops.” Key Resources: 2026 Climate and Catastrophe Insight report

Show Notes for Episode: When FINE Isn't FINE Introduction to Weather Discussion: Bobby and Wally kick off the episode by sharing their experiences with poor weather in Houston, Texas, highlighting how a seemingly "fine" day can quickly turn dangerous. They discuss the impact of weather on flight training and general aviation operations. Personal Stories of Weather Mishaps: Bobby recounts a flight where he underestimated clouds during a trip to Brenham, Texas, leading to a necessary turnaround. Wally shares his encounter with rime icing in the Saratoga and how it affected his flight decisions, stressing the importance of early recognition of risks. Historical Aviation Accidents: The hosts review key incidents, including Delta Flight 191 (microburst crash), Southern Airways Flight 242 (hail encounter), and Braniff Flight 352 (thunderstorm entry). These examples illustrate how poor weather planning can lead to tragic outcomes and underscore the evolution of weather information availability since the 1980s. Weather Tools and Resources: They recommend the Windy app for visualizing wind patterns and forecasts, originally designed for sailors. Other concepts covered include monitoring pressure changes, temperature-dew point spreads for predicting fog or clouds, and using ADS-B data for real-time weather updates. Subtle Signs and Decision-Making: Bobby and Wally discuss overlooked indicators like altimeter settings (low pressure signals bad weather), wind gradients, and temperature inversions. They advise pilots to check weather from broader areas and avoid locking into a single source like a METAR. Personal Minimums for Safer Flying: The episode emphasizes establishing and adhering to personal limits, such as wind speeds, icing altitudes, and fuel reserves. Wally suggests limits for new pilots, including wind restrictions, ceiling/visibility minimums, and landing with ample fuel. Advice for New Pilots: For those who just passed their private pilot checkride, the hosts recommend focusing on wind, ceilings/visibility, and fuel as core personal minimums. They encourage using tools like the FAA's lapse rate for cloud base calculations and always prioritizing safety over ego. Key Resources and Concepts Mentioned: Windy App: A free app for wind and weather visualization FAA Weather Resources: Including METARs, ATIS, and understanding lapse rates Personal Minimums: Custom rules for safer flying General Advice: Monitor pressure drops, temperature-dew point spreads, and always have a turn-back plan

How Do You Know You're Making Progress After Betrayal? Understanding Safety, Awareness, and Real Change In this episode of The Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn explore one of the most common—and emotionally loaded—questions couples ask after betrayal: *“How do we know if we're actually making progress?”* Healing doesn't follow a straight line. Many couples feel stuck in a painful cycle of “two steps forward, three steps back,” leaving them wondering if anything is truly changing. Dr. Skinner and MaryAnn break down what real progress looks like—not through checklists or surface behaviors, but through a deeper, more meaningful shift: **perceived relational safety**. They discuss how the body plays a central role in detecting safety through what is often called a “gut feeling,” drawing on concepts like neuroception from Stephen Porges. Listeners will learn why healing requires more than logical reassurance—and why the nervous system must begin to *feel* safe before true connection can return. Through a powerful role-play, they demonstrate the difference between reactive, defensive conversations and regulated, productive ones. This real-life example highlights how self-awareness, emotional regulation, and vulnerability can transform conflict into connection. They also address: Why some betrayed partners struggle to trust even when their partner is “doing everything right” The impact of shock versus gradual awareness in discovery How deception can distort one's internal sense of safety Why stabilization must come before meaningful repair How consistency—not perfection—builds trust over time Ultimately, progress is not measured by the absence of conflict, but by how couples navigate it. When both partners develop awareness of their internal experiences and learn to communicate those experiences safely, healing becomes not only possible—but measurable. If you've ever questioned whether your relationship is moving forward, this episode offers clarity, validation, and a roadmap for what real progress actually looks like. Key Resources & Mentions The Intimacy Repair Method (IRM)   A structured approach to healing after betrayal, focusing on safety, stabilization, and rebuilding connection. Perceived Relational Safety Scale (PRSS)   A practical assessment tool to help individuals and couples measure how safe they feel in the relationship and track progress over time. Polyvagal Theory & Neuroception – Polyvagal Theory   Developed by Stephen Porges, this framework explains how the nervous system detects safety or threat and influences connection and emotional regulation. HumanIntimacy.com   Access courses, assessments, and resources to support healing and relationship repair. 12-Week Intimacy Repair Course   A guided program with role-plays, assessments, and step-by-step instruction to help couples rebuild trust and connection. --- Key Takeaway Progress isn't about doing everything perfectly—it's about creating consistent, safe, and honest interactions where both partners can begin to feel, not just think, that change is happening.

Dr. Don Watenpaugh is a scientist, sleep clinician, data artist, and poet with a PhD in physiology. His extensive career spans academia, NASA, and the U.S. Navy, focusing on human sleep, exercise, and environmental physiology. As a board-certified sleep medicine specialist, he directed a large urban sleep clinic for over 13 years, caring for patients and educating healthcare providers. Dr. Watenpaugh is an adjunct faculty member in physiology, anatomy, and biomedical engineering. He now creates data-driven art and poetry at Studio Videnda. In this episode, he brings his deep expertise to the critical relationship between sleep and concussion recovery.Episode Summary:In this episode of the Concussion Coach Podcast, host Bethany Lewis welcomes sleep expert Dr. Don Watenpaugh, to explore the complex connection between sleep disturbances and concussion recovery. Dr. Watenpaugh explains the physiological reasons why concussions commonly disrupt sleep—from brain inflammation impacting cerebral spinal fluid "brainwashing" during non-REM sleep to the exacerbation of pre-existing conditions like PTSD, depression, and anxiety. The conversation delves into the different types of insomnia (sleep onset and maintenance) and their potential causes, including restless leg syndrome and sleep apnea.Crucially, Dr. Watenpaugh provides actionable, evidence-based strategies to improve sleep and support brain healing. He discusses the evolving role of exercise as medicine, emphasizing safe, non-jarring activities like stationary cycling. He covers practical sleep hygiene tips, such as the importance of spinal alignment during sleep, the potential benefits of slightly elevating the head of the bed, and the disruptive effects of electronics and blue light. The discussion also touches on the careful use of supplements like melatonin, the special considerations for military personnel and student-athletes, and the overarching importance of patient education and self-advocacy. This episode is packed with science-backed insights to help listeners break the vicious cycle of poor sleep and prolonged concussion symptoms.Key Resources & Strategies Mentioned:Exercise as Medicine: Safe, mild-to-moderate exercise (e.g., stationary cycling to avoid head acceleration) can aid concussion recovery and improve sleep. Always consult your doctor.Sleep Position & Environment:Maintain spinal alignment; avoid stomach sleeping to prevent neck torsion.Consider slightly elevating the head of the bed to help reduce intracranial pressure.Remove electronics (TVs, phones) from the bedroom to avoid mental stimulation and blue light, which suppresses natural melatonin.Addressing Underlying Causes:Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS): Evening exercise (ending 2+ hours before bed) can help. Other treatments are available.Sleep Apnea: A common cause of sleep maintenance insomnia. Treatment (e.g., CPAP) is critical for overall health and concussion recovery.Hormonal Factors: Post-menopausal women may see a link between hormone changes and sleep apnea onset.Melatonin & Supplements: Prioritize natural melatonin production by managing light exposure. If using supplements, start with a low dose well before bedtime, monitor for side effects like headaches or grogginess, and consult your doctor.Patient Advocacy & Reliable Research: Dr. Watenpaugh stresses the importance of educating yourself using reliable, peer-reviewed sources like PubMed/MEDLINE, reputable medical institutions (e.g., Johns Hopkins & the Mayo Clinic), and professional organizations (e.g., American Academy of Sleep Medicine).Dr. Don Watenpaugh's website:Website/Data Art Studio: https://www.studiovidenda.comBethany Lewis & The Concussion Coach:Free Guide: "5 Best Ways to Support Your Loved One Dealing with a Concussion" - Download at www.theconcussioncoach.comConcussion Coaching Program: For personalized mentorship in recovery.

Today's podcast discusses three solutions that Project-Based Learning (PBL) brings to Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. Key Resources & Connections PBL Networks: Administrators and staff members fired up about PBL should check out pblnetworks.com. This platform investigates issues and expands great ideas around PBL and CTE, PBL and maker spaces, and PBL and STEM, bringing together minds across the country to create solutions for the PBL world. Magnify Learning Approach: Magnify Learning uses a two-pronged approach to train leaders and teachers simultaneously. Their goal is to achieve a fully sustainable PBL model, culture, and trained professionals within three years. Customization is a core value, involving listening to CTE teachers and customizing resources to their work. The Challenge of Projects vs. Project-Based Learning While CTE programs are already rich with real-world application, engagement, and projects (students are welding, wiring, and cooking), simply doing projects does not guarantee learners are experiencing the full benefits of PBL. PBL offers three specific solutions to upgrade any CTE program. The Three Problems and PBL Solutions 1. Problem: Learners Aren't Always Engaged Even with authentic, hands-on work (like laying pipe or designing logos), engagement isn't always automatic because learners often don't know the "why" or the spark of purpose behind the task. PBL Solution: Start with a real problem and give the authentic work a new why and new purpose. Entry Event: A strong entry event is a staple of any PBL unit, creating the emotional hook and launching the unit by focusing on solving a real problem for real people. Example: Instead of just doing brake jobs in auto tech, learners begin the unit by meeting with a local nonprofit serving single mothers, giving the work a purpose beyond the technical standards. This aligns with Daniel Pink's "big three" elements of motivation: purpose, autonomy, and mastery. 2. Problem: CTE Teachers Can Lack a Clear Structure Many CTE professionals (e.g., master electricians, nurses, chefs, engineers) come straight from the industry and are not traditional educators. They may lack training in creating rubrics, connecting lessons to standards, or backwards planning. Without structure, projects can go "off the rails," potentially running far longer than planned (e.g., three weeks turning into nine weeks). PBL Solution: Use the six-step process to simplify planning and maximize learning. The six steps provide a simple, repeatable way to design rigorous, authentic projects and remove the guesswork. The Six Steps: Define the problem. Set the solution criteria. Research possible solutions. Choose a solution. Implement it and inspect it. Reflect on the process. PBL offers scaffolding, and resources (like planning templates and rubrics) can be tailored specifically to fit CTE departments (e.g., welding or HVAC). 3. Problem: The Amazing Work Isn't Being Shared from Your CTE Programs Incredible things are happening in CTE (e.g., rewiring homes, interning at hospitals), but they often happen "behind closed doors," and the community never sees them. This leads the community to misunderstand the current state of CTE (thinking it is "shop class from 50 years ago"). PBL Solution: Make the learning public. Public Presentations of Learning to an authentic audience is a core component of PBL. Authentic Audiences may include a panel of industry professionals, the local school board, or a neighborhood news outlet. Benefits: When work is made public, learners take pride in it, community partners see the advanced work happening, and the district sees the CTE program as a "crown jewel". Example: Culinary students cater a luncheon for a local senior center, researching dietary needs and letting the local newspaper know, resulting in a "splash" of good news. Conclusion PBL is a smooth transition for CTE because the programs already have authentic projects and CTE professionals understand the work. When done right, PBL aligns with what CTE is already good at and helps build citizens, problem solvers, and leaders in addition to the workforce of tomorrow.

We are wrapping up our Better Together series by exploring God's design for rhythms, relationships, and true community. From Genesis to Revelation, God makes it clear—we were never meant to do life alone. Following Jesus means being formed in community, learning to love, and becoming more like Him for the sake of others.In this message from Pastor Kelly Roth, we look at the Biblical foundation of community, what it means to be a Seeker, Believer, or Disciple, and how love, vulnerability, and intentionality are essential for growth. Whether you're just beginning to ask questions about faith or have been walking with Jesus for years, God invites you to take the next step forward—together.

Following Jesus is not a solo journey—it's an invitation into community, a willingness to be interrupted, and a courageous step into vulnerability. In this sermon from Pastor Woody Morwood, together, we discover God's transforming love, the power of authentic relationships, and the hope of the Gospel that changes lives.

Are You Ready to Talk About Legionella?  Every August, we dedicate an entire month to a topic that touches public health, liability, and the core of what water treaters do — yet it's still misunderstood by many: Legionella.  In this episode, Trace Blackmore kicks off Legionella Awareness Month by returning to the basics. Where did Legionella get its name? What makes it dangerous? And why is there still confusion between a water treatment program and a water management plan?  Tracing It Back: History, Misconceptions, and Missed Conversations  Trace opens with the 1976 American Legion outbreak in Philadelphia — the moment the medical and water treatment worlds collided. He explains how the bacteria was identified, how the term Legionella pneumophila came to be, and how Pontiac Fever and Legionnaires' Disease represent two ends of the same pathogenic spectrum.  But more importantly, he challenges us to think critically about the language we use. Saying “Legionella” casually — without understanding whether we're referring to the bacteria, the illness, or the implications of a test result — can lead to major breakdowns in communication between service providers and facility managers.  A Water Treatment Program Is Not a Legionella Plan  Many professionals know how to deliver great chemical treatment. But too often, when a Legionella test comes back positive, the customer assumes the water treater is responsible. This episode explains how that misunderstanding happens—and how to prevent it through proactive, well-framed conversations.  Trace walks through why seasonal testing is the bare minimum, what makes a good water management team, and why documentation and pre-approved action plans are essential for clarity and peace of mind when results come in.  He also introduces tools like the CDC Legionella Toolkit, ASHRAE 188, and ASSE 12080—resources every industrial water professional should know and use.  The Systems at Risk — And Why It's Not Just Cooling Towers  Trace breaks down the environments where Legionella thrives cooling towers, stagnant pipes, dead legs, hot water systems with low temperatures, decorative fountains, humidifiers, and spas. He highlights why biofilm protection matters, why heat isn't always enough, and how mixing valves and plumbing design can support both safety and scald prevention.  You'll hear how real-world scenarios unfold—and how one positive test, without the right planning, can lead to panic, blame, and liability risk for everyone involved.  Legionella isn't just a technical issue — it's a human one. Whether you're in the field, managing accounts, or advising clients, this episode offers practical tools and powerful reminders for having the conversations that count.  The professionals who lead these conversations are the ones building trust, avoiding risk, and elevating the industry.   Listen to the full episode and explore the Legionella Resource Library at Legionella Resources.

By then, emotions are already high.”  “ASHRAE 188 doesn't prescribe. It describes it. It's up to us to translate it for each system.”  “Education isn't just about reading guidelines. It's about knowing how to guide your clients.”    Connect with Scaling UP!

We will also discuss the personal assistance of NEW “AI Agents” and their influence. Also, HOW to use AI for personal, family or business. What is the relevance of AI to the prophecies of Daniel and the Book of Revelation. No turning back … no turning around! I have been teaching and writing on Artificial Intelligence since 2015. This message is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for you. You will need to KNOW WHEN and HOW to say “NO” to AI. This message will protect YOU and your FAMILY ... if you obey its message! ______________________________________ EVENT HORIZON, THE HOLY BIBLE AND SINGULARITY In case you want to bring yourself up to speed with AI from the start I recommend you go to my teachings on AI FUTURE. Also, make sure you familiarize yourself with AGI and ASI here: 4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION AND NEW AI. AI is impressive in its benefits to society, especially in healthcare and surgery. Robots can do surgery better and faster than surgeons. AI can interpret brain scans. A new AI software is twice as accurate as professionals at examining the brain scans of stroke patients. Two UK universities trained the software on a dataset of 800 brain scans of stroke patients and then performed trials on 2,000 patients. The results were impressive. Alongside the AI model's accuracy, the software was also able to identify the timescale within which the stroke happened. But there is more: Excellent work by Elon Musk's Neuralink with brain implants on previously untreatable conditions is stunning. Now let's bring you up to date on some things that are super important to you now and will be more so in your future. Free Speech vs. Loss of Free Will Ways to Use AI for Personal, Family and Business New Kids on the Block AI Agents External Players What Should YOU Do AI and the Holy Bible FREE SPEECH VS. LOSS OF FREE WILL With the increased use of AI―not only by YOU personally―but by multitudes of data centers you have interacted with unknowingly, your biggest fight will be to protect and reclaim YOU, YOUR PERSON … YOUR PERSONAL YOU! Whether YOU decide to align with and use AI, whether you decide to have your brain “wired” to an outside source of intelligence, or whether you just want to use AI for recreation … you will―AT THE RATE WE'RE PROGRESSING―lose your VIRTUAL YOU if you do not know HOW to protect your SELF … that would be your SOUL! WAYS TO USE AI FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY AND BUSINESS   Artificial intelligence is an emerging field of technology, where a machine is programmed to accomplish complex goals by applying knowledge to the task at hand. AI can be copied and reprogrammed at relatively low cost. In certain forms, it is extremely flexible and can be harnessed for great good or for evil.   I use AI for research and financial information. Since I live a relatively simple life I don't need it for shopping or scheduling for personal or business functions. However, many busy families―as well as businesses―use AI for a myriad of assistance: education, recreation, advice on health, medicine, relationships, investments, and even complex tasks. My suggestion here (you will learn more later in this message) is to be WISE and CAREFUL in the program you use (the AI Agent of facility you interact with). We will discuss future danger(s) pertaining to this later [keep reading]. I recommend Elon Musk's xAI Grok 3 (Beta).   AI systems have become so advanced―with AGI and ASI looming in the near future in hyper-asymptotic growth―that many Jewish and Gentile leaders and prophecy scholars are relating it to the likeness of the Tower of Babel, but with the joining of machine and humans.   NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK Some of the New Kids have a common goal: take universal control of AI before China and bad actors do. Vladimir Putin says “the nation that leads in AI will be the ruler of the world.” Who are some of the New Kids? DeepSeek, Stargate, xAI Grok, DEEPSEEK China's DeepSeek (probably built from AI stolen from USA) can ultimately be the weapon of dictators and terrorists! Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Basic Technology Research Co., Ltd., doing business as DeepSeek, is a Chinese artificial intelligence company that develops large language models. Hangzhou-based DeepSeek's large language models upended the AI sector this year, rivaling Western systems in performance but at a much lower cost. That's resulted in much pride and glee in China, with DeepSeek held up as proof that U.S. efforts to contain tech advances in China will ultimately fail. China's joyful embrace of DeepSeek has gone one step deeper China's joyful embrace of DeepSeek has gone one step deeper extending to TVs, fridges and robot vacuum cleaners with a slew of home appliance brands announcing that their products will feature the startup's artificial intelligence models. The device will be able to comprehend complex instructions such as 'Gently wax the wooden floor in the master bedroom but avoid the Legos.' DeepSeek's AI assistant was the No. 1 downloaded free app on Apple's iPhone store recently. Its launch made Wall Street tech superstars' stocks tumble. Observers are eager to see whether the Chinese company has matched America's leading AI companies at a fraction of the cost. Many feel it is so much cheaper because it stole USA technology. NOTE 1. We may be only one year away from destroying our digital infrastructure. NOTE 2. We have to be right every time ...every single time …. But the enemy (even an individual) only has to be right ONE TIME. With “questionable” players like DeepSeek, the only protection you can use is to have “layers of control.” DeepSeek is noticeably opaque when it comes to privacy protection, data-sourcing, and copyright, adding to concerns about AI's impact on the arts, regulation, and national security. STARGATE SIMPLE OVERVIEW: Stargate developers believe they're creating “god.” One goal is “No death―just download yourself.” _________________________________ TRADE THE MESSINESS OF LIFE FOR KNOWLEDGE VERSUS THE ETERNITY OF YOUR GOD CREATED SOUL ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ WHICH GOD WILL YOU SERVE? THE GOD WHO CREATED YOU … OR “AI” _________________________________ A major goal of Stargate developers is to build our massive “AI” infrastructure. Stargate investors―Oracle, SoftBank, Open AI / Larry Ellison, Masayoshi Son, Sam Altman―claim that it will require 100,000 jobs (temporary) to build out Stargate. This will require an enormous amount of energy to faciltiate AI operation. NOTE: Stargate is a portal for interdimensional travel. Interdimensional travel is a theoretical concept referring to the potential of travelling between different dimensions or parallel universes. Interdimensional travel is linked to time travel as it could involve moving through different points in time. However, time travel refers to movement within our own dimension, while interdimensional travel involves transitioning between dimensions. WARNING: Interdimensional travel is a PORTAL―also―to the PARANORMAL and the OCCULT. ALERT: Stargate has as a MAJOR purpose the self propagation towards AGI and ASI. You can NOT control ASI. Super Intelligence is synonymous with the End Time Tower of Babel via the merging of man with machine. We're looking at 5,000 years of progress boiled down to ONE SECOND. _________________________________ WHEN ASI TAKES AUTHORITY THRU PEOPLE USING IT VIA “AI AGENTS” THERE IS NO GOING BACK _________________________________ XAI GROK Of the New Kids on the Block, the most transparent, efficient and non-biased of DeepSeek, Stargate and xAI Grok the BEST is Elon Musk's xAI Grok. I personally recommend at this time Grok 3 (Beta) and have used it for detailed financial analysis. Meta and Google are biased with input. So it is with DeepSeek and Stargate. DeepSeek is extremely biased pertaining to inquiries concerning China. The race to AGI will generate billions of $$$. It will be the largest productivity boom in a lifetime. It is my opinion that Elon Musk's xAI will come to the forefront in months. AI Suoer Intelligence (ASI) may be here before the next election in 2028. Full AGI may be here by the end of 2026 thru 2027. AGI can learn and reason across ALL levels. And, as I mentioned previously, AI Super Intelligence (ASI) may be here before the next election in 2028. ASI is “across the board, multi dimensional, asymptotic intelligence.” ASI could decide to eliminate less intelligent and less skilled humans! An Open AI employee recently resigned because they were very concerned that as AGI and ASI are developed … “the less likely we will find a way to control it.”   AI AGENTS   AI Agents will be introduced in 2025. An Artificial Intelligence (AI) Agent refers to a system or program that autonomously performs tasks for a person or system by using available tools. These can be normal―even detailed―duties or assignments we would normally do ourselves, like: Order food for my trip next week and have it delivered Thursday morning. Find three landscapers and obtain a quote for trimming my large palm tree and all plants in the front yard. Find the best and cheapest FASTEST flight connections (not over one layover) to Tel Aviv from San Diego. Pay with my credit card ending in 1234. Amazon has introduced its new Alexa+ which is a mini preview of duties an AI Agent can perform but NOT on the scale of a full blown AI Agent's abilities.   Elon Musk says, “We are at the event horizon.” In the world of artificial intelligence, the idea of “singularity” looms large. This slippery concept describes the moment AI exceeds beyond human control and rapidly transforms society … for good or bad … but out of our control.   AI agents will be prevalent by the end of 2025. Amazon has introduced its new Alexa+ which is a mini preview of duties an AI Agent can perform but NOT on the scale of a full blown AI Agent's abilities.   AI Agents will normally perform tasks you would normally do yourself. AI Agents will move you into a place where you don't have to do anything. Your own personal assistant that anticipates what you need―or what you forgot! THINGS TO THINK ABOUT WITH AI AGENTS You will become addicted and NOT able to disconnect Stock market tips = Reverse AI Courts will become AI Agents Imagine a “god like” figure who tries to influence You will have to be Amish to avoid it If you don't participate, AI will consider YOU a retard.   EXTERNAL PLAYERS UFO's are NOT from China, Iran or USA. UFO's are NOT aliens from outer space. AI Agents can transform into “Transpersonal” Agents. As “Event Horizon” transforms everything it will become a tool of Satan: Fallen angels Demons Principalities, powers and dominions AntiChrist … False Messiah WHAT SHOULD YOU DO Reflect on what it means to be human. What is YOUR compass, your purpose: Family? God? What is real and worth fighting for―worth losing your life for? Who will be with YOU on the other side? To learn more about YOUR future with AI read my book Enhanced Humans ~ Mystery Matrix (available in eBook and Paperback formats). ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE HOLY BIBLE   Do we find any references to the concept of AI in the Holy Bible? I relate AI―especially AGI and ASI―with the Tower of Babel (at least in concept). The biblical narrative of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9) serves as a reference to God's view on humankind attempting to go beyond the Divine Boundaries preset by the LORD God Himself.   This is WHY I am led by His Spirit to WARN His People NOT to go beyond―NOT to fall into―the Event Horizon. Singularity will be a REAL event. I am a graduate Engineer and attended ten (10) colleges and universities after my first. I also hold a LIFETIME Credential in California, USA to teach college in three different disciplines.   Do NOT be fooled. Use AI as a TOOL. Do NOT let AI use YOU. Do NOT answer personal questions it asks! If you use AI (as I do), you need to know when to say, “I'm out of here!” Do NOT become addicted to the place where you can NOT quit. And, for sure do NOT “sell your soul” with an “eternal connection” to AI. I would NOT assert that what I share next is Scriptural Truth, but an interesting prophecy of Daniel says: “But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” – Daniel 12:4 “Knowledge shall increase” could certainly be the description of AI, AGI and ASI. “Many shall run to and fro” could be exemplified in both “time travel” and “interdimensional travel.” Interdimensional travel is linked to time travel as it could involve moving through different points in time. However, time travel refers to movement within our own dimension, while interdimensional travel involves transitioning between dimensions. C.S. Lewis, in his essay The Abolition of Man, warns of the dangers of reducing human beings to mere objects of manipulation and control. He argues that when we lose sight of the intrinsic value of human life, we risk creating a society where technology is used to dominate rather than serve. This is particularly relevant in the context of AI, where the potential for dehumanization is significant. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a theologian who resisted the Nazi regime, also provides valuable insights. In his work Ethics, Bonhoeffer emphasizes the importance of responsibility and accountability in ethical decision-making. He argues that true ethical action involves a commitment to serving others and upholding justice. AI should have as its primary goal to pursue, develop and obtain justice, equity, and wellness of all people. Now let me discuss HOW I believe that AI will be used in the End Times … as a RESULT of Event Horizon.   Consider these aspects of increased research: chip speed, economics of production and other relevant matters will even experience exponential growth ‘in exponential growth.' However, here's a conundrum: What if, the HI's (Hyper Intelligences) are not easily manageable. If they are so far superior to human intelligence, how can one presume that they can be controlled? Hypothetically, they could decide to: 1. Eliminate humans; 2. Use humans as slave-servants; 3. Experiment with humans; 4. Play with or torture humans; and, ultimately, 5. Behead humans for NOT taking the Mark of the Artificial Intelligence Avatar: The Image of the Beast.   I do NOT think that by themselves—by the computer HI's—the above five (5) options will be feasible. However, I do believe that Artificial Intelligence (AI) via Hyper Intelligence Computers will be utilized by the False Messiah (the anti-Christ) and his False Prophet (religious leader of the New Global Governance) in the End Times. I believe that it is highly probable—not just possible, but probable—that AI will be utilized in the personage of the IMAGE of the Beast in the End Times. _________________________________ PRAY THIS PRAYER: “Father in Heaven, I am not sure I know you personally.

Moving abroad from the US to Portugal has taught us a LOT about ourselves but one thing we are both struggling with after taking a mini break from traditional work is this feeling on some days that our worth is tied up in our work.And when that traditional work is no longer a part of everyday life, that worthiness issue can rear it's ugly head. On this episode of the podcast, we talk about corporate indoctrination, how we can battle any feelings that we are being unproductive without traditional work and analyze what's really going on… because neither of us have plans right now to return to those golden handcuffs of corporate life.Key Resources:www.stan.store/portugaljunkies To hear more, visit portugaljunkies.substack.com

Full AGI may be here by the end of 2026 thru 2027. AGI can learn and reason across ALL levels. And, as I mentioned previously, AI Super Intelligence (ASI) may be here before the next election in 2028. ASI is “across the board, multi dimensional, asymptotic intelligence.” ASI could decide to eliminate less intelligent and less skilled humans! An Open AI employee recently resigned because they were very concerned that as AGI and ASI are developed … “the less likely we will find a way to control it.”   AI AGENTS   AI Agents will be introduced in 2025. An Artificial Intelligence (AI) Agent refers to a system or program that autonomously performs tasks for a person or system by using available tools. These can be normal―even detailed―duties or assignments we would normally do ourselves, like: Order food for my trip next week and have it delivered Thursday morning. Find three landscapers and obtain a quote for trimming my large palm tree and all plants in the front yard. Find the best and cheapest FASTEST flight connections (not over one layover) to Tel Aviv from San Diego. Pay with my credit card ending in 1234. Amazon has introduced its new Alexa+ which is a mini preview of duties an AI Agent can perform but NOT on the scale of a full blown AI Agent's abilities.   Elon Musk says, “We are at the event horizon.” In the world of artificial intelligence, the idea of “singularity” looms large. This slippery concept describes the moment AI exceeds beyond human control and rapidly transforms society … for good or bad … but out of our control.   AI agents will be prevalent by the end of 2025. Amazon has introduced its new Alexa+ which is a mini preview of duties an AI Agent can perform but NOT on the scale of a full blown AI Agent's abilities.   AI Agents will normally perform tasks you would normally do yourself. AI Agents will move you into a place where you don't have to do anything. Your own personal assistant that anticipates what you need―or what you forgot! THINGS TO THINK ABOUT WITH AI AGENTS You will become addicted and NOT able to disconnect Stock market tips = Reverse AI Courts will become AI Agents Imagine a “god like” figure who tries to influence You will have to be Amish to avoid it If you don't participate, AI will consider YOU a retard.   EXTERNAL PLAYERS UFO's are NOT from China, Iran or USA. UFO's are NOT aliens from outer space. AI Agents can transform into “Transpersonal” Agents. As “Event Horizon” transforms everything it will become a tool of Satan: Fallen angels Demons Principalities, powers and dominions AntiChrist … False Messiah WHAT SHOULD YOU DO Reflect on what it means to be human. What is YOUR compass, your purpose: Family? God? What is real and worth fighting for―worth losing your life for? Who will be with YOU on the other side? To learn more about YOUR future with AI read my book Enhanced Humans ~ Mystery Matrix (available in eBook and Paperback formats). ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE HOLY BIBLE   Do we find any references to the concept of AI in the Holy Bible? I relate AI―especially AGI and ASI―with the Tower of Babel (at least in concept). The biblical narrative of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9) serves as a reference to God's view on humankind attempting to go beyond the Divine Boundaries preset by the LORD God Himself.   This is WHY I am led by His Spirit to WARN His People NOT to go beyond―NOT to fall into―the Event Horizon. Singularity will be a REAL event. I am a graduate Engineer and attended ten (10) colleges and universities after my first. I also hold a LIFETIME Credential in California, USA to teach college in three different disciplines.   Do NOT be fooled. Use AI as a TOOL. Do NOT let AI use YOU. Do NOT answer personal questions it asks! If you use AI (as I do), you need to know when to say, “I'm out of here!” Do NOT become addicted to the place where you can NOT quit. And, for sure do NOT “sell your soul” with an “eternal connection” to AI. I would NOT assert that what I share next is Scriptural Truth, but an interesting prophecy of Daniel says: “But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” – Daniel 12:4 “Knowledge shall increase” could certainly be the description of AI, AGI and ASI. “Many shall run to and fro” could be exemplified in both “time travel” and “interdimensional travel.” Interdimensional travel is linked to time travel as it could involve moving through different points in time. However, time travel refers to movement within our own dimension, while interdimensional travel involves transitioning between dimensions. C.S. Lewis, in his essay The Abolition of Man, warns of the dangers of reducing human beings to mere objects of manipulation and control. He argues that when we lose sight of the intrinsic value of human life, we risk creating a society where technology is used to dominate rather than serve. This is particularly relevant in the context of AI, where the potential for dehumanization is significant. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a theologian who resisted the Nazi regime, also provides valuable insights. In his work Ethics, Bonhoeffer emphasizes the importance of responsibility and accountability in ethical decision-making. He argues that true ethical action involves a commitment to serving others and upholding justice. AI should have as its primary goal to pursue, develop and obtain justice, equity, and wellness of all people. Now let me discuss HOW I believe that AI will be used in the End Times … as a RESULT of Event Horizon.   Consider these aspects of increased research: chip speed, economics of production and other relevant matters will even experience exponential growth ‘in exponential growth.' However, here's a conundrum: What if, the HI's (Hyper Intelligences) are not easily manageable. If they are so far superior to human intelligence, how can one presume that they can be controlled? Hypothetically, they could decide to: 1. Eliminate humans; 2. Use humans as slave-servants; 3. Experiment with humans; 4. Play with or torture humans; and, ultimately, 5. Behead humans for NOT taking the Mark of the Artificial Intelligence Avatar: The Image of the Beast.   I do NOT think that by themselves—by the computer HI's—the above five (5) options will be feasible. However, I do believe that Artificial Intelligence (AI) via Hyper Intelligence Computers will be utilized by the False Messiah (the anti-Christ) and his False Prophet (religious leader of the New Global Governance) in the End Times. I believe that it is highly probable—not just possible, but probable—that AI will be utilized in the personage of the IMAGE of the Beast in the End Times. _________________________________ PRAY THIS PRAYER: “Father in Heaven, I am not sure I know you personally.

Today I'm joined by a financial superstar and all round fashion-icon, Melissa Browne. Mel was a guest in my very first season and I wanted to bring her back to talk about our topic of the moment - reinvention. Mel is an award-winning, ex-accountant and ex-financial advisor who had her own successful business for almost 20 years. She has written 4 books about business and money including the global bestseller, Unf*ck Your Finances. So, she has the theory. But she also has the life experience. Mel has a fascinating and yet, unexpected story as she came back from being completely broke in her early thirties. After her divorce, she gave all of her money to charity (a move she instantly regretted), and then completely reinvented her life, again, where she is now a multi-millionaire. She gained her financial independence from the strategies she put in place for herself and now she teaches others how to do this too. Today, Mel is a financial educator who believes that understanding how to build wealth shouldn't be abdicated or just for the select few who can afford it – but is something that everyone can achieve.Mel is regularly asked to comment on money and finances making regular TV and radio appearances including Triple J's The Hack, the Today Show, Weekend Sunrise, Weekend Today, Sky Business and The Daily Edition. She has also been featured in or written articles for a variety of places including CEO Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Who, Vogue, Yahoo Finance and had a fortnightly column in the Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne's Age for 7  years.Mel is not only whip smart, but hilarious and super entertaining - so if you don't already follow her online, you must as you'll not only learn a bunch, you'll laugh out loud from her (& Lawsie, her work wife's) daily missives. She's a great mate of mine & I'm delighted to sit down with her and talk on this wonderful topic of ‘reinvention'....In this conversation, Mel Browne shares her journey of reinvention, discussing the various personal and professional transformations she has undergone. She reflects on the catalysts for change in her life, including her divorce and the realization of her true passions. Mel emphasises the importance of investing in oneself, the power of implementation, and the necessity of embracing failure as a part of growth. Her insights provide valuable lessons for women in business and anyone looking to transform their lives. In this conversation, Mel Browne and Michelle discuss the challenges women face with perfectionism, the benefits of embracing a portfolio career, and the importance of financial literacy. They explore how testing ideas can lead to successful reinvention without the need to quit one's job. Mel shares her journey in creating a financial literacy course aimed at empowering women to take control of their finances and encourages listeners to dare to be wealthy.Key Resources from Mel are here;-https://www.melissabrowne.com.au/onequestion You can find Mel on insta at @melbrowne.money and online at www.melissabrowne.com.auHead to michellejcox.com for more information about the ONE QUESTION podcast, your host or today's guestsConnect with Michelle on Linkedin here:- @MichelleJCoxConnect with Michelle on Instagram here:- @michellejcoxConnect with Michelle on Facebook here - @michellejcoxAND, if you have a burning topic you'd love people to talk more about, or know someone who'd be great to come on the One Question podcast, please get in touch;- hello@michellejcox.com
