Twelve months ago we heard the sobering news of a significant attendance drop in Sydney Anglican Churches. Over the decade from 2013 to 2023, weekly attendance fell by 7% – and when you factor in population growth, attendance was 14% behind.At last year's Sydney Anglican Synod, the mood was serious. A resolution was passed calling for confession and humble repentance – acknowledging that their hadn't been sufficient priority, attention, reflection, or resources to seeing the lost saved by Jesus. Synod called for a five-year focus to reverse the decline – putting prayer, evangelism, church health, and leadership development at the very centre of priorities.Ahead of this year's Synod, there is a response. The Standing Committee appointed a subcommittee, led by the Archbishop, to bring forward concrete proposals. And what they have come back with is significant:A galvanising target – to pursue 5% annual growth through conversion for the next five years.A range of initiatives and actions designed to support churches, leaders, and congregations in this mission.Our guests are Pete Stedman, senior minister at Norwest Anglican Church, and a member of the Archbishop's subcommittee that has proposed the new goal, Jon Kwan, lead pastor at St. David's Forestville and Jo Gibbs, senior consultant with Reach Australia.The Church Cothechurchco.com is a website and app platform built specifically for churches.

David Clark is joined by Claudia Kwan, Managing Director at North Star Impact Funds and recipient of the Outstanding Individual Achievement Award at the Impact Investment Summit. A former Morgan Stanley trader and now one of Australia's leading voices in sustainable capital, Claudia shares how impact investing is evolving beyond its philanthropic roots to deliver returns competitive with traditional strategies.

Key highlights: * Why measurable social and environmental outcomes are becoming part of mainstream investing. * How impact-aligned portfolios can deliver returns in line with traditional benchmarks. * NorthStar's values-driven, institutional-grade investment approach. * Claudia's journey as a female leader in the investment banking industry. Great perspective on why purpose and performance are no longer mutually exclusive.

In a heated exchange, BT and Sal ignite a fiery debate over the Yankees' recent trade deadline decisions, particularly the decision not to pursue Cleveland Guardians star Steven Kwan. While BT argues for patience with the team's young prospects like Anthony Volpe, Sal passionately insists that the Yankees' front office, led by Brian Cashman, has a history of mismanaging top-end talent and should have traded a player like Jason Dominguez to acquire a proven, championship-level player like Kwan. The discussion also touches on the Mets' deadline moves and concludes with a lively interview with WWE's Michael Cole, who, as a die-hard Mets fan, offers his own fiery take on the team's chances.

In this lively discussion, BT and Sal delve into the hypothetical trade of Yankees prospect Jasson Dominguez for Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan. Sal advocates for acquiring Kwan, emphasizing his proven Gold Glove defense and high-contact bat as a perfect fit for the Yankees' current needs. BT, however, shows more patience with Dominguez's potential, highlighting his youth and the inherent difficulty in evaluating prospects, and questioning the perceived "failure" of young Yankees while acknowledging Alvarez's struggles. The debate encapsulates the classic baseball dilemma: banking on future potential versus acquiring immediate, known production.

In their post-deadline analysis, BT and Sal gave the New York Mets and Yankees a "solid" grade for their trade deadline moves, though neither felt the teams truly "crushed it." While acknowledging both clubs addressed critical bullpen needs and secured important position players (Mullins for the Mets, McMahon for the Yankees), they expressed a slight disappointment that neither team made the "over the top" blockbuster moves that would have earned them an A+ in their eyes, particularly the Yankees not landing a top-tier starter or Kwan, and the Mets settling for Mullins instead of a "splashier" center field option like Robert. Both hosts agreed that while improved, neither team went "all in" at the expense of top prospects.

The 94 WIP Morning team asks Ben Davis and Ruben Amaro about other potential moves for the Phillies. The Phillies have been linked to Steven Kwan and Luis Robert Jr. Ben and Ruben are higher on Kwan than Robert, but the price will be high. Neither Ben nor Ruben are Luis Robert Jr. fans. Ruben says part of the reason Dombrowski hadn't made moves in years past was because he didn't know how good the prospects he had were to us for trades.

On the day of MLB's trade deadline, Baskin and Phelps discuss why the team would be entertaining trade offers for Steven Kwan when they're only 2.5 games out of the last wild card spot.

Baskin and Phelps discuss why the Guardians would trade Steven Kwan and what a return package could do for the future of the franchise.

Baseball Today and Dugout Discussions Podcast Host Chris Rose joined OverDrive to discuss the Blue Jays' trade deadline options, Steven Kwan becoming a suitor for Toronto, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s skills with the bat, teams seeking a significant move, the NL landscape, the Dodgers' view as contenders and more.

In a stunning turn of events, the red-hot Steven Kwan finds himself at the center of a trade deadline firestorm, with BT and Sal ready to dissect every explosive rumor. As teams clamor for the Gold Glove outfielder's services, the burning question remains: will the Guardians deal their star, and what fiery package will it take to land him?

In this discussion, BT and Sal dissect the Yankees' approach to the upcoming trade deadline. A major point of contention is the future of Anthony Volpe, with BT advocating for a minor league assignment to help him regain his form, while Sal believes it could be detrimental. They also debate the Yankees' overall strategy, arguing against a "halfway" approach and pushing for an "all-in" mentality if the team truly intends to contend, specifically highlighting Steven Kwan as a key target. However, they disagree on Kwan's "superstar" status and the willingness to part with top prospects like Spencer Jones to acquire him, while also acknowledging the need for bullpen and starting pitching upgrades if the Yankees are to make a serious postseason run.

BT and Sal, engage in a lively discussion about a hypothetical Yankees trade. A caller proposes a blockbuster deal sending Jazz Chisholm to Cleveland for Kwan and José Ramírez.

The conversation quickly escalates into a debate about player value, future potential, and whether the Yankees should make such a bold move, highlighting the hosts' differing opinions and the inherent risk-reward of high-stakes trades in Major League Baseball.

Send us a textShort Summary: Dr. Alex Kwan unpacks the latest neuroscience research on how psychedelics like ketamine & psilocybin reshape the brain.About the guest: Alex Kwan, PhD, is an associate professor of biomedical engineering at Cornell University. His lab employs advanced imaging to study how psychedelics and other drugs affect the mammalian brain.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Transcript and other information on Substack.Episode Summary: Dr. Alex Kwan discusses how psychedelics like ketamine and psilocybin induce rapid neuroplastic changes in the brain, particularly in the prefrontal cortex, contrasting their effects with traditional antidepressants like SSRIs, and exploring their potential for treating depression and chronic pain through structural and functional brain alterations.Key Takeaways:Ketamine & psilocybin rapidly increase dendritic spine density in the prefrontal cortex, enhancing neural connections within days, unlike SSRIs, which take weeks.These drugs show sustained neuroplastic changes in mice, lasting weeks to months after a single dose, suggesting long-term brain rewiring.Serotonin 2A receptor is critical for psilocybin's neuroplastic effects, as precise genetic knockouts in adult mice eliminate spine growth.Unlike ketamine, psilocybin activates the insula, a brain region linked to chronic pain processing, hinting at new therapeutic potential.Both drugs induce similar gene expression patterns in areas like the prefrontal cortex and amygdala, but differ in specific regions like the insula.Related episode:M&M #30: Psilocybin, Ketamine, Neuroplasticity & Imaging the Brain | Alex Kwan*Not medical advice.Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

How can mid-career architects redesign their lives around joy and curiosity?In this episode of Practice Disrupted, Evelyn Lee talks with Clarence Kwan, an architect-turned-entrepreneur who spent three decades building a career in architecture and tech before pivoting to launch his own lifestyle concierge business, CK Curated. Together, they explore Clarence's transition from corporate life to creative independence, and what it means to embrace reinvention with intention.Clarence shares his personal journey from growing up in Hong Kong and the UK to building a professional foundation in architecture, design, and real estate. After decades of working at firms like NBBJ, MG2, Meta and Amazon, Clarence realized that success in traditional practice wasn't aligned with the life he wanted to design for himself. His pivot toward food, travel, hospitality, and storytelling has opened up new pathways for joy—and redefined what a creative practice can be.Throughout the episode, Evelyn and Clarence discuss the challenges of walking away from prestige and security, how identity evolves over time, and the value of reconnecting with your core passions. Clarence offers a behind-the-scenes look at building a solo business, developing a brand, and continuing to learn and grow after “retirement” from corporate life.“Architecture was my foundation, but I had outgrown the way I was practicing it. I wanted to be in spaces where I could move freely, follow my curiosity, and create with intention. CK Curated is that space—it's where I get to design not just buildings, but lives, moments, and meaning.”– Clarence KwanThe episode concludes with reflections on how design thinking applies to life beyond architecture, and how mid-career architects can give themselves permission to explore the unfamiliar. Clarence shares advice for anyone considering a creative career reset—emphasizing the importance of self-awareness, curiosity, and trusting the process of becoming.Guest: Clarence Kwan is a lifestyle concierge and founder of CK Curated, a solo business that helps clients design experiences through food, travel, and thoughtful living.

During a time when internet communication remained predominantly text-based, he recognized video's powerful potential for businesses across all sectors, prompting him to establish a company focused on helping clients leverage video to transform their outreach strategies. Today, video has become integral to all major platforms—even professionally-oriented LinkedIn has recently begun prioritizing video content and actively encouraging users to incorporate it into their engagement strategies. 5 Videos You Need to Incorporate Into Your Video Strategy An Introduction Video: An “About me” short introduction video that outlines who you are, what your business does, and what sets you apart from competitors. This video serves as a personal touchpoint for potential clients, allowing them to connect with the brand on a human level and should be focused on your ideal client and the problems you can solve for them. FAQs: Make a “frequently asked questions” to ensure you answer your audiences pressing needs about the services and results you provide. Carl also recommends thinking about the questions clients should be asking and aren't. Client testimonials: If possible, Carl recommends using video for your case studies instead of asking people to write a Google review. It'll be great social proof for your services and a way to showcase satisfied customers who can speak to the quality of your products or services. Repurposed content: Start reusing your own text content in video form to get ball rolling and get the hang of this form of communication and storytelling. Personalized approach: According to Carl, a really successful video that's won him a lot of business is one he emails them after a meeting saying “It was great talking to you, X. I loved hearing about X. I look forward to talk to you again and discuss how I can help your business”. It is customized, it takes less than a minute to create, and clients love it because they can see it is personalized. If you want to get started adding video to you strategy start with these suggestions and you'll build a great foundation to build authority and thought leadership. Will AI Ruin the Effect of Personalized Videos? The proliferation of AI video creation tools presents a challenge for agencies that invest time in filming personalized client videos. As these AI applications become more widespread, clients may increasingly dismiss even genuine personalized messages as just another automated communication embedded in agency workflows. While Carl fully embraces AI as a transformative tool—recently using it to create a brand song rather than hiring a professional songwriter, thereby saving money, maintaining greater creative control, and accelerating production—he maintains a nuanced perspective on its limitations. Despite acknowledging that AI-generated content will inevitably become normalized, he firmly believes the human element remains irreplaceable for creating authentic content that truly resonates with audiences. In Carl's assessment, regardless of how sophisticated AI technology becomes, people will always discern genuine human involvement. Moreover, he contends that agency owners with genuine passion for their work won't willingly surrender their creative roles entirely to artificial intelligence. How AI Tools for Video Can Help You Expand Your Outreach to International Audiences AI technology has revolutionized the process for creating a podcast. You can now create a professional-sounding podcast by researching your topic, compiling relevant articles into a Google document, using ChatGPT to transform this material into a polished script, and finally employing podcast creation platforms to produce a natural-sounding show in your own voice. These same technological advancements enhance video content creation beyond just script development. AI tools can effectively correct pronunciation issues or script errors that traditional editing cannot fix. Perhaps most significantly, AI voice replication technology now enables creators to reach international audiences by reproducing their voice in multiple languages. These sophisticated programs can even adjust your modulation to create the impression that you're naturally speaking the target language. This technological breakthrough creates unprecedented opportunities for content creators to expand beyond local markets and connect with Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, and other language-speaking audiences worldwide, dramatically increasing potential reach and influence. Validating Your Expertise and Building Trust with Video Drawing from his experiences with agency partners, Carl strongly urges agency owners not to underestimate video's crucial role in brand development. He observed that clients often hesitated to work with his recommended partners after conducting quick online searches that revealed only basic website information. Today's clients seek more—they want to see and hear agency owners and team members personally discussing their services and the unique value they deliver. This reflects the modern decision-making process for professional services. Potential clients prioritize making authentic connections, and video serves as an exceptional medium for conveying your message while demonstrating genuine authenticity and relatability. That is why your agency needs a YouTube channel which is home to content that highlights your expertise. The true value lies not in accumulating subscribers or views, but in establishing a professional presence that validates your capabilities and knowledge. A thoughtful video presence serves as powerful evidence of your competence and approach, often becoming the deciding factor for prospective clients.

A patient arrives at the accident and emergency unit at the Royal Victoria Infirmary with a complaint of searing pain in his arm. He says that an NHS nurse had come to his home earlier that morning to administer a covid booster, and he had been in agony ever since. Medical staff speculate that a less experienced sub-contractor gave him the vaccine. However, inquiries reveal that the person who injected Patrick was not a nurse.
