If you've ever wondered why you're not reaching your goals or why it takes so long, this episode is for you.Listen as our host Diane Rolston reveals what she's noticed in what the women who finally moved forward actually needed. She shares why the answer probably isn't another course, more information, or a better goal.Listen to learn these key takeaways:The wide range of goals women brought into She's Goaled over the years and the surprising pattern that showed up underneath all of themWhat women actually wrote on their application forms when asked what they needed and why it had nothing to do with more knowledgeThe woman who could easily see solutions for everyone around her but couldn't see clearly for herself, and why that's more common than anyone admitsWhy you probably already know what you need to do and what's actually stopping you from doing itWhat happens when you share your problem with a friend or networking contact and why it's not the same as having dedicated supportThe woman who wanted to start a new business while keeping her current one going, finish home renovations, and improve her health all at onceThe woman who sold her house, bought an RV, and started traveling while running her business and how fast it happened once the right support was in placeWhy She's Goaled isn't a course and why that matters, and how it flows naturally alongside your actual lifeThe lingering projects story: why one woman realized the things she'd been putting off weren't as hard or expensive as she'd thoughtThe question worth sitting with: if nothing changes about how you're currently approaching your goals, where will you be six months from now?Six months are going to pass either way. The question is what do you want to be different when they do. She's Goaled applications close September 4th at 11:59pm Pacific.

Thanks to our Partners, Pico Technology, and AutelWatch Full Video EpisodeWhy are some automotive repair specialists resistant to attending training, particularly when it takes place after work or on weekends?The easy explanation is that they are lazy, unmotivated, or unwilling to invest in themselves. Matt argues that this explanation may also be incomplete.In this episode, Matt examines training through the lens of incentives, career development, and systems thinking. A specialist who spends personal time and money developing new skills is often told that the investment will eventually produce better pay, greater opportunities, or increased job security. But what happens when those rewards never materialize?When training does not produce a visible improvement in compensation, working conditions, advancement, or professional stability, declining another class may be a rational decision rather than a character flaw.Matt discusses his own early motivation for attending training, the delayed payoff of that investment, and the importance of the relationships developed through classes, professional forums, and industry events. He also considers what shop owners and managers can do to make continued education feel like part of a legitimate career path rather than another demand placed on an employee's personal life.Topics DiscussedWhy two people who make opposite decisions about training may both be acting rationallyThe traditional expectation that individuals fund their own professional developmentWhether increased knowledge reliably produces increased compensation“Cheap talk,” empty promises, and the loss of trust between employees and employersThe absence of clear career paths in automotive repairWhy keeping a job is not a meaningful reward unless the job is worth keepingMatt's early, ego-driven pursuit of technical knowledgeThe delayed financial return from training and professional developmentThe value of relationships formed through classes, events, forums, and industry groupsThe difficulty of identifying and communicating one's economic valueWhy character judgments should come after examining the system, not beforeProviding training during normal working hoursEstablishing clear expectations for continuing educationCreating positions and responsibilities for specialists throughout every stage of their careersWhy experienced employees should be a shop's strongest advocatesThe shared reputation of the automotive repair professionKey TakeawayBefore assuming that someone's reluctance to attend training reflects laziness or a lack of ambition, examine the incentives surrounding the decision.Does training lead somewhere?Can the specialist see a realistic path toward greater compensation, responsibility, security, or professional satisfaction?Does the organization respect personal time while asking employees to continue developing?Individual shops cannot repair the entire profession alone, but each shop contributes to the larger system. Better career paths, meaningful rewards, workday training, and credible long-term planning can help make professional development feel like an investment rather than an obligation.Resources MentionedRich FalcoMike Allen and Confessions of a Shop OwnerDutch SilversteinRatchet+WrenchScannerDanner PremiumAutomotive SeminarsToday's ClassiATN and other professional automotive communitiesThanks to Pico Technology and Autel for supporting the podcast, and to the Automotive Repair Podcast Network.Thanks to our Partner, Pico TechnologyAre you chasing elusive automotive problems?

Why do smart, capable, ambitious people know what to do... and still not do it?This question sits at the heart of my conversation with leadership coach, speaker and author Tamsin Simounds, and honestly, I think it's one so many of us are wrestling with.We live in a world overflowing with information. We can read the books, listen to the podcasts, learn the frameworks and understand exactly what we should be doing... and still find ourselves stuck.So why does that happen?In this episode, Tamsin and I explore the gap between knowing and doing, and why fear, identity, perfectionism, self-doubt and the need for certainty can stop us from taking action on the things that matter most.We talk about:Why taking action is often harder than gaining knowledgeThe fear that sits at the threshold of growthWhy discomfort isn't a problem to solveHow clarity is created through actionThe power of experimentation over perfectionWhy the only way to truly fail is to stopHow to move through the gap between knowing and doingWhether you're building a business, writing a book, changing careers, stepping into leadership or simply trying to trust yourself a little more, I think you're going to get so much from this conversation.Because the future doesn't change when we know more. It changes when we move.xx CBGuest I Tamsin Simounds - Leadership Coach | Speaker | Author of The Experiment Mindset | Founder https://www.tamsinsimounds.com/ Dream Maker ResourcesGet the Book: Let Your Vision Be Bigger Than Your Bullsh*t - If you've got a dream, vision or idea you want to bring to life, but keep getting stuck in fear, overthinking or self-doubt, this book is for you.7-Day Dream Maker Accelerator: Dream to Done - A simple, practical program to help you stop overthinking, build momentum, create your offer, make the invitation and take action on what matters.Connect with CBInstagram: @cb_dream_makerWebsite: cbdreammaker.com

Your Parenting Mojo - Respectful, research-based parenting ideas to help kids thrive
Most parents have heard that play is how children learn. But in a world full of educational toys (even for babies, preschoolers, and kindergarteners!), enrichment classes, structured activities, and apps designed to make babies smarter, making time for play is harder than it sounds. The pressure to get kids ahead earlier keeps building - and the research that's supposed to reassure us often gets buried under the noise. Dr. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek has spent more than 20 years studying how children learn. She's a psychology professor at Temple University, a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, and co-author of Einstein Never Used Flash Cards - just updated for the age of smartphones, tablets, and AI. In this conversation, she makes the case that the characteristics that make play so engaging for kids are the exact same characteristics that produce the deepest learning. And she explains why the push to start earlier and do more may be working directly against what parents say they want for their kids. Questions this episode will answer Did Einstein use flashcards? Of course not! The point of Einstein Never Used Flash Cards is that you don't need to provide direct instruction to young kids for them to be smart and successful. The skills that lead to real achievement - problem-solving, collaboration, creative thinking - are built through active, hands-on, joyful learning, not memorization drills. What is playful learning? Playful learning is not the same as free play. It combines a clear learning goal with an approach that is active, engaging, meaningful, socially interactive, and joyful. Dr. Hirsh-Pasek walks through what this looks like in real classrooms - and in your own kitchen. What is an example of a play-based learning activity? A kindergarten class learning about weather by using droppers and water to measure precipitation, then comparing and averaging their results. Another group acting as a live weather broadcast - a five-year-old using the words "high front" and "precipitation" without ever sitting through a lecture. The episode includes several more examples parents can use at home right now. What's the difference between free play and structured play? Dr. Hirsh-Pasek describes a continuum: free play on one end, direct instruction on the other, and guided play in the middle. Each has a role. The problem is that direct instruction currently dominates, even though children learn far less from it than from active, social, and meaningful experiences. How do kindergarteners learn best? Through play-based learning that is active rather than passive, engaging rather than distracting, meaningful, socially interactive, and joyful. It's not just that play is fun (even though it is); these are the conditions the brain is built to learn in. Dr. Hirsh-Pasek explains the science and shows what it looks like in practice. Do enrichment classes for preschoolers actually help? The research says starting earlier is not better for kids. Kids who are pushed into structured learning young are not more likely to be strong readers or high performers later. The episode explains what the data actually shows - and what parents can do instead that costs nothing. Why is play important in early childhood learning? Because the characteristics of play - active, engaged, meaningful, social, joyful - are the same conditions under which human brains learn best at any age. Dr. Hirsh-Pasek explains why stripping play out of early childhood doesn't accelerate learning. It undermines it. What you'll learn in this episode The six characteristics of playful learning and why each one connects to how the brain actually builds knowledgeThe difference between free play, guided play, and direct instruction - and when each one serves kids bestConcrete play-based learning examples from everyday life at home: the kitchen, the laundry room, the backyardWhy the research on high performers shows that early specialization and intensive enrichment rarely produces the outcomes parents are hoping forWhat the arrival of AI means for the skills kids actually need to develop - and why those skills come from play, not flashcardsWhy downtime is not wasted time, and what it does for the developing brainThe questions Jen asked Dr. Hirsh-Pasek at the end of the conversation - about who research serves and what it leaves out - that don't usually get asked in interviews like this one Dr. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek's website: https://kathyhirshpasek.com/ Dr. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek's instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkathyanddrro Einstein Never Used Flash Cards: https://amzn.to/4dubLe0 (Affiliate link) Want more research-backed tools for the hard parenting moments?

Dr. Hirsh-Pasek describes what this looks like in a real kindergarten classroom studying weather. 14:02 How playful learning shows up at home - in the kitchen (measuring, counting, estimating), the laundry room (sorting, classifying, folding), and on a trip to Sydney, where two kids spent two hours drawing the Opera House. 17:06 The gap between what parents say they want (happy kids) and how they're actually spending time and money. Dr. Hirsh-Pasek connects downtime and unstructured exploration to the brain's default mode network - the part that builds creativity. 20:24 Research on people who reached the highest levels of performance in sport and the arts: they didn't specialize early. They meandered and explored. 20:45 Jen asks Dr. Hirsh-Pasek about the relationship between research and culture - how research doesn't just reflect ideas about childhood, it shapes them. 24:11 A look back at Becoming Brilliant and the six C's: Collaborate, Communicate, Content, Critical Thinking, Creative Innovation, and Confidence to try, fail, and keep going. Why do these matter more than ever in an AI world? 26:11 Where to find Dr. Hirsh-Pasek and her work. 26:53 Jen's closing thoughts - including a note that some content in the book raised questions she couldn't fully explore in this conversation, and an open invitation to join Parenting Membership.
Some people are going crazy over GPT 5.5. Some people. This is the story of the Jagged Frontier. People who use AI to write emails or even code implementation work find the lift moderate whereas people pushing the limits of the model are figuring out that the limits just moved outwards.Alex Lupsaska has been tracking this limit for a year and a half now. “When GPT5 came out, it was able to reproduce one of my best papers (that took a very long time to come up with) in 30 minutes.”But Alex also notes that this shift was mostly invisible.I remember when GPT-5 came out… on Twitter, the reception was lukewarm. A lot of people were like, well, we expected a lot more, and it's not better at writing email. And I remember thinking, well, okay, GPT-3 could write email. How much better can it get at writing email? That's not the point. But at the science frontier, the capabilities were really taking off.We walk through his paper and more with him in today's Science pod! Watch here.The “Oscar for physics”Alex made an early splash in his career with breakthroughs in our understanding of black holes. He's also known for Black Hole Explorer and an iPhone app that makes visualizing black holes fun and interactive to regular audiences. Alex won the 2024 New Horizons in Fundamental Physics Breakthrough Prize. Known as the “Oscar for physics” this is arguably the most prestigious prize an early stage theoretical physicist can win.Alex first saw promise for AI in theoretical physics after he asked o3 for help on his research. In the podcast, Alex recalls asking GPT for help with a calculation that would have taken days, and getting a result in eleven minutes. He immediately recognized how impactful AI would be for his work even as though his physicist colleagues and the larger community gave it a lukewarm or skeptical reception.The Move 37 Moment for AI x PhysicsGPT-5 had just been released, and Alex tried asking it to solve a problem in a just published paper. GPT-5 said no answer. But Mark Chen, CRO of OpenAI, pushed a bit harder, and had Alex prime the model with a textbook warmup problem, which it easily solved. After using this “priming” trick, GPT-5 was able to reproduce his full result in eleven minutes (yes, the paper was released after the model's training cutoff).“This changes everything.” Alex notes that we seem to be on the edge of a massive change in theoretical physics reasoning. A year prior LLMs were just starting do correct math. Now ChatGPT could reproduce his hardest paper in the time it takes to get a coffee.Alex was on sabbatical at Vanderbilt, and he joined OpenAI to start pushing the boundary of AI's ability to accelerate physics.“AI solved the problem before the plane landed”Alex began to put GPT through it's paces, reaching out to colleagues for problems they were stuck on. His old PhD advisor (Prof. Andrew Storminger at Harvard) had an insidght about certain physical quantities known as “single-minus gluon tree amplitudes”. In certain cases, these amplitudes may be non-zero when previously shown to always vanish. The team pushed this intuition forward, and came up with a formula for these quantities that appeared nonzero, but which was otherwise completely intractable. Spending over a year on this problem, no real progress was made.Prof. Storminger planned to visit OpenAI to work on the problem the week after the initial conversation started. In that one week ChatGPT fully solved the problem, as Alex recalled, before Prof. Storminger's plane even landed.What was interesting is not only that ChatGPT solved this problem, but how it solved it. The model quickly realized found a limiting case (known as the “half-collinear regime”), that in hindsight has a nice intuitive explanation. Taking this limit, the gnarly results collapsed down to a simple and intuitive formula!The last step was to prove this intuitive formula. The team started with a fresh session, gave a prompt with the context of what they previously learned, and let the model loose. Not only was ChatGPT able to reproduce the previous result, it was able to prove it using a technique unknown to the authors!The Vibe Physics momentWith a concrete success in the bag, the team asked if they could generate new physics from scratch using ChatGPT. They took on what they felt to be a harder problem, looking at the graviton, a proposed particle that should appear when one combines gravity and quantum mechanics. They wrote up a simple prompt asking ChatGPT to perform the same research as the gluon paper but instead for gravitons. And then hit go!What came next was truly “vibe physics”, with ChatGPT pushing out 110 pages of novel physics, new calculations, and novel techniques. This was over the course of a day, with most interactions the familiar following the now familiar pattern for anyone who uses a coding agent:GPT: Here's your . Would you like me to do ? Alex: Yes, please do! GPT: And for those who look deeply, this really was not just a direct 1-1 mapping between gluons and gravitons. ChatGPT imported new techniques that were necessary due to the nature of gravitons, and used them flawlessly.They spent the next three weeks verifying all the results. And voila! A new paper featuring novel results in quantum gravity, generated in less than three days total. Truly a “Feel the AGI moment”.For those interested, there's a blog post with the full transcript from initial prompt to final paper. Even if you know no physics, it's crazy seeing pages of correct calculations fall out of simple prompts such as “Yes calculate outside of SD first. This is the first step.”Out-of-domain = new knowledgeThe thing that is qualitatively different between Vibe Physics and Vibe Coding is that Vibe Physics means actually extending the frontier of human knowledge. Looking at the Gluon and Graviton results, they seem in retrospect, like many results in physics and math, like natural extensions of what we already know. This is in fact part of what makes them beautiful. But this was a problem that stumped experts in the domain for a year. Although it does still have a bit of a recombinant flavor, this thing has never been done before.It may be that there are still large classes of problems that AI won't do well on, and approaches that an AI might not think to take. This is the “taste” that everyone has been talking about. Alex told us that these capabilities, however, allow him to explore many possible avenues in order to map out much more ambitious problems to tackle. With AI able to output results basically as fast as we can conceive and validate them, the scope of what one theorist can hope to achieve has just gotten a lot, lot bigger. This is a public episode.

In this conversation, I sit down with Abdu Murray to discuss his powerful new book, Fake ID: How AI and Identity Ideology Are Collapsing Reality—and What to Do About It.We're living in a moment where truth itself feels unstable. Artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly, identity is increasingly self-defined, and many are left asking: What does it even mean to be human anymore?In Fake ID, Abdu argues that these cultural shifts are not just technological or social—they strike at the heart of reality itself. He explores how AI and identity ideology are reshaping our understanding of truth, personhood, and meaning, and why recovering a grounded, biblical vision of reality is more urgent than ever.In our conversation, we explore:How AI is changing the way we think about truth and knowledgeThe deeper crisis of identity in modern cultureWhy “post-truth” thinking is so dangerousWhat it means to be truly human in a technological ageHow the Christian vision offers clarity, hope, and groundingThis is a conversation about reality, identity, and ultimately—truth.Get the book:Book website: https://embracethetruth.org/fake-id/Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Fake-ID-Identi...Connect with Abdu Murray:Website: https://embracethetruth.org/In this video, I refer to: • Muslim converts to Christianity after read... • How Ai Slop will Spark the Next Human Rena... • Why Disney Can't Get Snow White Right (Jon... • What is The Matrix? | The Matrix [Open Matte] • The Matrix Revolutions (5/5) Movie CLIP - ... • Learn Where Heaven and Earth Overlap • Human dystopia • The myth of Icarus and Daedalus - Amy Adkins • THERE ARE...4..LIGHTS!!!!

Episode SummaryIn this rich and deeply reflective conversation, Amy Wheeler speaks with Bonnie Buckner, author of The Secret Mind: Unlock the Power of Dreams to Transform Your Life. Together, they explore how dreams—both night dreams and daydreams—can become a powerful path to healing, self-awareness, and transformation. Daydreams and night dreams are not just subconscious wanderings—but powerful tools for healing, insight, and transformation. Bonnie explains how the default mode network of the brain, active during dreaming, holds the key to our creative and emotional intelligence, bypassing the inner critic that often stifles our potential. Together, they unpack the symbolism of animals in dreams, the science behind functional mutuality in the brain, and how re-entering a dream through waking imagery can bring resolution and clarity. Amy even shares a personal dream about a mountain lion, and Bonnie gently guides her to see it not as a mystery to decode, but an energy to honor and heal. This episode offers a fascinating glimpse into the intersection of neuroscience, yoga philosophy, and the art of listening deeply to the inner self.Drawing from both neuroscience and imagery-based therapeutic tools, Bonnie shares how the default network of the brain, often activated during non-linear, imaginative states, plays a crucial role in our inner healing. She explains how dreams reveal our inner blocks, and how we can use waking dream exercises to address unresolved patterns—without needing to overanalyze or “figure it out.”Amy and Bonnie reflect on:The importance of daydreaming as a seed of creativity and visionWhy sleep dreaming bypasses our inner critic and opens access to deeper truthsHow to re-enter dreams to resolve internal conflict and restore inner harmonyWhy images are the language of the nervous system, and more powerful than words aloneHow dreamwork intersects with yoga therapy, and why Patāñjali encourages dream observation as a path to self-knowledgeThe relationship between creativity and blocked energy, especially for performers and professionals who feel stuckAmy even shares one of her own dreams, and Bonnie offers a moving example of how we can tend to the symbolic beings that appear in our subconscious—offering healing not only to the dream, but to the dreamer.About Bonnie BucknerDr. Bonnie Buckner is the founder of the International Institute for Dreaming and Imagery, and teaches globally on the power of dreams and the creative mind.

Conley has served the Catholic Church in a wide variety of ways—as pastor, college campus chaplain, director of Respect Life ministries, theology instructor, Vatican official and bishop. In all of these tasks, he has seen his life as a priest as a call to service and complete surrender to "God's providential hand." For his episcopal motto, Bishop Conley, a convert to the Catholic faith, chose the same motto as the great 19th-century English convert, John Henry Cardinal Newman, "cor ad cor loquitur," which means "heart speaks to heart." On Sept. 14, 2012, Pope Benedict XVI appointed Bishop Conley as the bishop of the Lincoln Diocese in Nebraska. He was installed as the ninth Bishop of Lincoln on Nov. 20, 2012.

On today's episode of the Marketing Corner, we have CS's very own web developer, Niomi Sandoval! Niomi has an extensive background in marketing and adds a unique perspective to your team. Today we discuss the importance of continued learning in marketing, marketing tips, and even some general tips to help your business! In the dynamic world of marketing, continuous learning stands as a crucial pillar for success. This field, inherently tied to human psychology, technology trends, and global market shifts, demands a perpetual state of evolution from its practitioners. Learning every day in marketing is not just beneficial; it's a fundamental requirement for those aiming to stay ahead in the game. This essay delves into the significance of daily learning in marketing, highlighting its impact on staying relevant, fostering innovation, and driving professional growth.Adapting to Constant ChangeThe marketing landscape is perpetually in flux, with new technologies, platforms, and consumer behaviors emerging at a breakneck pace. Algorithms change, social media trends come and go, and new digital tools are developed every day. Marketers who dedicate time to learning every day are better equipped to adapt to these changes. They can anticipate shifts in the digital ecosystem, adjust strategies in real-time, and leverage new tools and platforms effectively. This adaptability is crucial for maintaining relevance and competitiveness in a field that does not tolerate stagnation.Fostering InnovationDaily learning fuels innovation by exposing marketers to a broad range of ideas, techniques, and perspectives. By absorbing information from various sources—be it industry reports, thought leadership articles, or case studies—marketers can synthesize new ideas that set their strategies apart. Innovation in marketing often involves connecting disparate concepts in novel ways. Continuous learning facilitates this creative process, enabling marketers to pioneer unique campaigns, messaging, and solutions that capture attention and resonate with audiences.Enhancing Skills and KnowledgeThe complexity of marketing requires a diverse set of skills, from data analysis and creative design to strategic planning and customer psychology. Engaging in daily learning allows marketers to expand their skill sets and deepen their knowledge in specific areas. This not only enhances their effectiveness in their current roles but also prepares them for future challenges and opportunities. Furthermore, as the demand for specialized skills increases, those who actively learn and adapt can position themselves as valuable assets to their organizations and clients.Building Professional NetworksLearning every day often involves interacting with peers, mentors, and thought leaders through forums, online courses, and professional networks. These interactions can lead to meaningful connections, providing opportunities for collaboration, mentorship, and career advancement. Networking within the context of learning creates a foundation of mutual respect and shared interests, paving the way for relationships that can significantly impact one's professional trajectory.ConclusionIn conclusion, the importance of learning every day in marketing cannot be overstated. It equips professionals with the ability to adapt to change, fosters innovation, enhances skills, and facilitates networking. In a field that thrives on creativity, relevance, and strategic agility, continuous learning is the key to unlocking new opportunities and achieving sustained success. Marketers who commit to daily learning not only advance their careers but also contribute to the advancement of the marketing profession as a whole.
