Mike Davidson, Head of Production at Callen https://thisiscallen.com/, joins Matt and Oren. After years with agencies like Leo Burnett, Wieden+Kennedy, Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, and PXP, Mike is happy to be in a role that's more production-focused while still being client-engaged.And Matt and Oren chat about his journey from the digital, interactive, and web design side of creative to the TV commercial and production world. And he shares some unique insights that helped him level up as campaigns underwent a transformation to integrated and 360.For Mike, choosing directors is about finding the right talent who can see the ad's strategic direction, the client's purpose, as well as how the insanity of the idea is best suited to make things work. And he shares a producer's perspective on choosing the right person for the directing job. And he describes the often necessary triple bid process, and why it works and sometimes doesn't.But Matt and Oren probe Mike on what a producer looks for in a reel. And Mike shares some key insights into what, unfortunately, may be making you appear generic. And it all leads to a fascinating conversation about AI, and how Callen uses AI and LLMs to make their bids more effective while still keeping creative solely the output of a human head.Help Matt's film: https://wefunder.com/badfeelingJoin the Just Shoot it Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/JustShootItPodMatt's Endorsement: "BlackBerry" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21867434/ currently on Netflix.Oren's Endorsement: "Margo's Got Money Troubles" on Apple TVMike's Endorsement: "Patriot", the series on Amazon Prime Hosted on Acast.

Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who ran for president in 2016 and is considered a possible future contender for the White House, saying the Republican Party has not coalesced around Vice President Vance as its 2028 nominee and needs to have a broader discussion about its direction after President Trump leaves office.

Johannesburg City Parks and Zoo says their tree-planting initiative is about more than simply adding trees to the city's landscape. Speaking to SABC News at Mushroom Farm Park, Sandton, the organisation said bringing different stakeholders and communities together reflects the shared responsibility of creating and protecting greener spaces. City Parks says trees play a vital role in the urban environment, and educating young people about environmental care is equally important. Zine Buthelezi filed this report…

Dan Nathan sits down with Paul Costolo, former CEO of Twitter and current VC. They start with Dick's early comedy days (Second City alongside Steve Carell, two SNL auditions that didn't pan out) and his stint writing for HBO's Silicon Valley, before diving into his path from founding FeedBurner to running Twitter through its IPO — including candid stories about the culture shift from private to public company life, and a surreal late-night run-in with Jack Dorsey in Paris in the middle of Elon Musk's takeover drama. From there they get into Dick's venture firm, 01 Advisors, and his thesis on investing in the AI "enablement layer" (the infrastructure sitting above the models) rather than chasing the flashiest apps. Dick shares his read on today's eye-popping valuations — including Stripe's $7 billion acquisition of OpenRouter and a leaked investor letter claiming "the singularity happened on New Year's Day" — and gives his predictions for the coming wave of AI IPOs, arguing Anthropic and SpaceX are well positioned while OpenAI could face a tougher road given its executive turnover and messaging challenges. They close by talking about prediction markets (and the striking gap between how well people think they're doing on platforms like Kalshi versus reality), before wrapping up with a plug for Dick's own podcast, the Dick and Paul Show. —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter: @RiskReversalLinkedIn: RiskReversal Media The financial opinions expressed in Risk Reversal content are for information purposes only.

The conversation about AI often focuses on software, automation, and the race between attackers and defenders in code. However, some of the most consequential risks lie further afield, in domains where a mistake is measured in human lives. Advanced models can now offer step-by-step guidance toward chemical and biological weapons, and militaries are already folding AI into targeting and battlefield assessments. These are no longer speculative fears confined to the AI doomer crowd. They are documented in red team disclosures, government legislation, and events unfolding on real battlefields. Gordon M. Goldstein is an adjunct senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, where he focuses on the convergence of technology and US foreign policy.

In this episode, Gordon joins Kevin Ball to discuss the credibility of AI-enabled chemical and biological weapon threats, the ad hoc safeguards meant to contain them, and the rise of autonomous warfare and its implications for human control and nuclear deterrence.

In this live episode of the Green Side Up Podcast from the Landscape Show 2026 inside the Super Lawn Truck Studios, Jason and Jordan sit down with Vanessa McQuade of Intrigue Media and Tyler from Cutz Landscaping Services in Orlando to explore how small but ambitious landscape companies can punch above their weight. Tyler shares his journey from family-operated maintenance work to higher-end hardscape and outdoor living projects—powered by training with Amish craftsmen and a modern CRM (SynkedUp). Vanessa breaks down practical ways to plug AI into marketing, sales, and phone answering so owners can move faster without losing the human touch, from Google Business optimization and automations to AI-powered answering services and nurture sequences. The group digs into real numbers, growth from $450K to $530K, review-getting tactics that actually work in the field, and how to build a marketing engine that turns ideal clients into long-term maintenance and install relationships—all with plenty of on-the-truck banter and real-world examples landscapers can copy on Monday morning.

Poet Leeanne Quinn joins Words That Burn to discuss her third collection, Landscape with Question, published by Carcanet Press.Written between Drogheda and Vienna, the collection holds two conversations at once: one with the Irish modernist painter Nano Reid, whose family bar on James' Street was later run by Quinn's parents, and one with Ingeborg Bachmann's novel Malina. Quinn explains why the "landscape with" poems move away from the representational towards questions of time and place, and why she took the three birth years Reid gave over her lifetime as the spine for the book's three sections.We talk about writing without a plan and finding the loops and repetitions only after the book is finished, about reading Reid's matter-of-fact titles against her abstraction, and about the eighteenth and nineteenth century visitor reports on Drogheda that Quinn cuts into her lines as springboards. We also discuss the speaker's resistance to being located, the surveillance running under the collection, and the elegy that surfaces in "Landscape with Crows", which adapts a line from H.D.'s Tribute to Freud.Leeanne reads two poems: "First Part of the Night" and the title poem, "Landscape with Question".Leeanne Quinn is from Drogheda, County Louth, and holds a doctorate in American literature from Trinity College Dublin. Her first collection, Before You, was highly commended in the Forward Prize. Her second, Some Lives, was a book of the year for both The Irish Times and The Irish Independent. She has edited two anthologies for Dedalus Press.Landscape with Question is out now from Carcanet Press.

 Chris Markowski discusses various pressing issues including the implications of ESG ratings on companies like SpaceX, the rise of socialism in American politics, and the current state of the UK political landscape. He reflects on the legacy of Karl Marx and the modern discontent among youth, emphasizing the importance of hard work in achieving success. Markowski critiques economic sanctions and the role of teachers' unions in education policy, ultimately calling for a reevaluation of these systems to foster financial freedom and personal responsibility.

Following up from the last episode in which I explained some of the broader concepts of water cycles and their relationship with land, vegetation, and management practices, we're going to go down to ground level to explore what it means to read the landscape for water restoration potential.  More than a conceptual exercise however, this discussion is one I recorded with my colleague and water restoration practitioner Nick Steiner. Together we went out to assess the water retention potential on a farm of clients of ours in southern Portugal. For those who don't know, this area has been on a long trajectory of degradation and drying out. The whole region is in severe need of a change in how they manage water as the status quo of the last decades has desertified the area.  Though we'll be speaking about the unique conditions and context of this farm and bioregion, the steps and considerations from our assessment process are widely applicable to any landscape or climactic region. My hope here is that you'll be able to go into any landscape and begin to observe how water move through and is received by the space your in.  This is the first step in being able to design for water management on any farm. You can share what you observe and learn from your own land in the Climate Farmer's community where we have a dedicated channel where we talk about water management with our group of more than 800 farmers around Europe. 

God's Own Land: Sacred Landscape, Pilgrim Economy and Religious Change in the Ganga Himalaya (Lever Press, 2026) follows the tectonic shift from traditional religious pilgrimage in the early twentieth-century to contemporary pilgrim tourism, in which ever-burgeoning visitor numbers have brought both benefits and challenges to the Garhwal region of India—the source of Hindu India's sacred river, the Ganges. Despite Hinduism's regional and sectarian variation, India's Garhwal Himalaya region is one the most sacred places to Hindus, drawing pilgrims across sectarian lines from throughout the subcontinent and the world. This sacred land—dev bhumi or “land of the gods”—appears in foundational Hindu stories describing the presence and activity of gods, goddesses, saints, and cultural heroes.This study from James G. Lochtefeld draws out Hindu convictions regarding the Garhwal's eternal and continuing sanctity as a holy region, based on the premise of an “imagined landscape.” This region is strongly associated with divine activity and yet this landscape is also a real place with a real history inhabited by real people, who have historically been poor because of the challenges created by the region's geography. Juxtaposing the history of the region with its construction in the Hindu imaginary, this multidisciplinary study unpacks the nuanced image of the region, its religious significance, and the impacts of pilgrimages on the community through textual, historical, and ethnographic methods.

This sacred land—dev bhumi or “land of the gods”—appears in foundational Hindu stories describing the presence and activity of gods, goddesses, saints, and cultural heroes.This study from James G. Lochtefeld draws out Hindu convictions regarding the Garhwal's eternal and continuing sanctity as a holy region, based on the premise of an “imagined landscape.” This region is strongly associated with divine activity and yet this landscape is also a real place with a real history inhabited by real people, who have historically been poor because of the challenges created by the region's geography. Juxtaposing the history of the region with its construction in the Hindu imaginary, this multidisciplinary study unpacks the nuanced image of the region, its religious significance, and the impacts of pilgrimages on the community through textual, historical, and ethnographic methods.

What is the state of content management systems today? Richard chats with Matthew Garrepy of CMS Critic about his views on how the CMS market continues to evolve. Matt digs into the build-vs-buy conversation that has been going on since the web first emerged - now made more complex with the power of the large language model to generate code. The evolution toward headless CMS brings up the idea of the explosion of different places that a CMS needs to touch now - not just web pages.

This week, Jack Sharry talks with Andrew Guillette, Vice President of Global Insights at Broadridge. Founder of Verge Advisory and former COO of Cerulli, Andrew has a track record of delivering industry-leading market research to U.S. asset managers. With specialized expertise in research and product development, he can leverage cutting-edge technologies to transform business operations and create new revenue streams.  Andrew talks with Jack about what investors actually want, based not on surveys, but on real behavior from 55 million retail investors.  Drawing from the Broadridge Investor Pulse dataset, Andrew breaks down five critical trends reshaping the investor landscape today. Their conversation also challenges long-held industry assumptions and offers a data-backed look at how firms can better align with evolving investor behavior. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:59) - Andrew's career background  (04:05) - What Investor Pulse is and why it matters  (08:02) - Theme 1: The myth of the 'average investor'  (11:40) - Theme 2: Democratization and concentration of wealth (14:29) - Theme 3: Product proliferation and model portfolios (20:40) - Theme 4: Blending of self-directed investing and advised relationships (25:08) - Theme 5:  Investor intelligence as a competitive advantage   (26:56) - Andrew's advice for wealth and asset management leaders  (28:05) - Andrew's interests outside of work Quotes "Advice still reigns, but the mix is shifting. The self-directed growth is real. Now, one-third of all investors have a relationship with a self-directed firm." ~ Andrew Guillette "The number one reason that investors straddle is diversification and enjoyment. Diversification was highest among women, and then enjoyment was highest among men, particularly younger men." ~ Andrew Guillette "Don't rely on legacy assumptions about who your investor is and how you think you should engage. Get the data to gain more precision about investor behavior. The firms best positioned to win will be the ones that understand the end investor." ~ Andrew Guillette Links  Andrew Guillette on LinkedIn Broadridge Broadridge - Investor Pulse Connect with our hosts LifeYield Jack Sharry on LinkedIn Jack Sharry on Twitter Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify LinkedIn Twitter Facebook

Asking a simple question I’ve been pondering a deceptively simple question: What makes a photograph good as part of my book club this month? But, before diving into that, a couple of quick announcements! I’ve got some new workshops lined up in 2027 at Badlands, Adventures in the Palouse, and the Oregon Coast and Redwoods. Check out the details on my website. Plus, I’ll be teaching a masterclass called “The Landscape is Language” at the Photographic Center Northwest in November 2026. As for the topic of episode 596, the source of this question comes from re-reading The View from the Studio Door by Ted Orland. In the section Art & Society, Ted comes up with an interesting answer that we will get to at the end of the podcast. Sure, the what is a good photography questionseems like it should have a straightforward answer. We could list out a bunch of qualities: composition, light, color, timing, technical skill, originality, emotion. Maybe a photo resonates because it communicates something important or makes us pause and reflect. So, what are we really talking about when we say a photograph is good? First off, we need to distinguish between “good” and “beautiful.” A photograph can be stunning without really offering much depth. Gorgeous light, perfect composition, beautiful colors—sure, but does it say anything? Conversely, a photograph can be rough around the edges but still pack an emotional punch.  Good isn’t necessarily beautiful First off, we need to distinguish between “good” and “beautiful.” A photograph can be stunning without really offering much depth. Gorgeous light, perfect composition, beautiful colors—sure, but does it say anything? Conversely, a photograph can be rough around the edges but still pack an emotional punch. Who gets to decide? Who determines what makes a photograph good? Is it because I like it? A critic? Other photographers? Does it matter if it's hanging in a museum or selling at auction? Or is it simply about whether the creator feels they achieved what they set out to do? The more I reflect, the more I realize there isn’t a universal standard for art—and maybe that's just fine. What if we judged the “goodness” of a photograph by its impact? – Does it make me stop? – Does it hold my gaze? – Does it shift my perspective? – Does it make me uncomfortable or curious? – Does it inspire creativity in me? Can a Bad Photograph Still Be Good? Suppose I take a photograph that falls flat. You have them too. You know the ones with bad composition, poor lighting, missing the mark entirely. On its own, it might not see the light of day. But what if that photo leads me to create ten better ones? What if it highlights what I don't want in my work or points me toward an unexpected direction? Does that still make it a bad photograph? Aesthetically, sure. Creatively, it could be invaluable. It makes me wonder if we're sometimes asking the wrong questions about art. Instead of “Is this good?” maybe we should be asking, “What did this make possible?” We don’t make masterpieces one at a time I feel like photographers can get caught up in the notion that their work is a collection of standalone images. You make a picture, then another, and it's easy to obsess over which ones are the “good” ones. But that’s not really how creativity works. It is a journey for us to follow, and the most important photographs aren’t necessarily the strongest ones; it might be the one that reshapes everything that follows Ted’s key point with the photograph as a stepping stone Ted Orland has this concept I keep returning to: a piece of work can be deemed good if it helps you move toward the next piece. I love this idea because it eases the pressure on each photograph. It doesn’t have to be the final say; it can be a question, an experiment, or even a failure.

Cal Flyn is an award-winning writer from the Highlands of Scotland. She writes creative nonfiction, literary criticism, and long-form journalism. Cal's journalistic writing has been published in Granta, National Geographic, The Wall Street Journal, The Sunday Times, The Economist, and others. On this episode of Nature Revisited, Flyn poses the question "What is Wilderness"? For thousands of years, people have sought out uncontrolled, unknown, or uncharted nature in search of religious epiphany, self-actualization, and an escape from modern life. But having traversed the most forbidding, untamed and inhospitable wild lands—the supposedly uninhabited wilds of the world—she found that such truly untouched lands don't exist: Nearly every wilderness has been or is actively inhabited by humans. By viewing the notion of wilderness as a human construct, Flyn reveals how much we can still discover in wilderness, both as an idea and a vital part of the living world. www.calflyn.com/ www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/761751/the-savage-landscape-by-cal-flyn/ Listen to Nature Revisited on your favorite podcast apps, on YouTube, or at https://noordenproductions.com Subscribe on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/bdz4s9d7 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5n7yx28t Subscribe on Youtube Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/bddd55v9 Podlink: https://pod.link/1456657951 Support Nature Revisited https://noordenproductions.com/support Nature Revisited is produced by Stefan van Norden and Charles Geoghegan.

Evan Ellis explores the landscape of Uruguay, a stable country navigating the trade interests of its neighbors, Brazil and Argentina. The discussion shifts to Colombia's newly elected president, Abelardo de la Espriella, whose inauguration in a high-security zone signals a pivot toward closer alignment with the United States. Ellis also addresses the complex situation in Venezuela, where the U.S. is negotiating with the relatively unknown Dinorah Figuera rather than more prominent opposition figures. Regional stability is further threatened by an explosion of homicides in Uruguay and the presence of millions of Venezuelan refugees in Colombia. (3)

In this episode of Trending in Education, host Mike Palmer sits down with Mike Peng, Founder and Managing Partner of Weatherstone Capital Partners, to explore the evolving intersection of education, technology, and capital markets. After missing a meeting at ASU+GSV in San Diego, Mike and Mike reconnect to unpack what it takes to scale educational ventures past the startup phase and navigate the broader macroeconomic shift from venture capital to private equity in EdTech. Drawing from his unique career journey—from engineering at UT Austin and strategy consulting at McKinsey to leading rapid growth at Block Renovation and earning an MBA at Stanford—Peng shares why Weatherstone focuses on partnering with operators in the 1-to-10 scale stage ($1M to $10M EBITDA range). Together, they examine the real "moats" in the age of AI (data ownership and customer relationships over UI), why corporate L&D and continuing certification are outperforming traditional K-12/Higher Ed models for private equity, and how simulation tools and micro-learning are reshaping workforce upskilling. Peng also offers vital advice for founders assessing whether they are the "limiting factor" in their company's growth and how to navigate tight capital markets. KEY INSIGHTS: 0-to-1 vs. 1-to-10 Leadership: Building a product from scratch requires a scrappy, zero-to-one mindset, whereas scaling from 1 to 10 demands processes, enterprise workflows, and founders willing to look in the mirror to ensure they aren't becoming their company's limiting factor. The Capital Shift from VC to PE: With EdTech valuations down ~60% from 2021 peaks and market maturity kicking in, 2024 marked a pivot where private equity outpaced venture capital in EdTech funding—shifting the focus from hyper-growth to unit economics, profitability, and sustainable scale. Redefining AI Moats: User interface (UI) and simple API connections to large language models are no longer defensible differentiators. True AI moats reside in owning proprietary data, maintaining deep customer trust, and controlling end-to-end customer relationships. Corporate L&D and Reskilling Demand: While K-12 and Higher Ed present longer sales cycles and risk aversion, Corporate L&D—particularly recurring certification, micro-training in daily workflows, and AI simulation (e.g., bedside manner nursing)—presents massive opportunity as 85% of employers seek to reskill their workforce by 2030. Founder Discipline in Tight Markets: Bootstrapping and pivoting quickly are more viable than ever thanks to AI MVP acceleration. Founders must plan capital runway at least a year in advance and regularly "come up for air" so market evolution doesn't leave their business behind.

Reality may be bigger, stranger, and far more crowded than our three-dimensional monkey brains can handle. This week on Hysteria 51, we count down ten horrifying theories about what could exist in dimensions we cannot see, from shadow matter and hidden forces to holographic universes, colliding branes, M-theory, and countless alternate versions of you making equally terrible decisions.Could gravity be leaking into another dimension? Is our universe just one thin membrane floating in a much larger cosmic void? Does every possible outcome create another reality where you remembered the password on the first try? We break down the real science behind extra dimensions, dark matter, the multiverse, many-worlds theory, and the terrifying possibility that reality has more rooms than advertised.So grab a flashlight, avoid making eye contact with the shadow universe occupying your couch, and prepare to discover why the cosmos is weird, physics is rude, and somewhere in another dimension, this episode is probably much better.SourcesTime and the Block UniverseStanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy – Timehttps://plato.stanford.edu/archives/spr2026/entries/time/Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy – Temporal Consciousnesshttps://plato.stanford.edu/archives/fall2025/entries/consciousness-temporal/Asher Peres – “Critique of the Wheeler-DeWitt Equation”https://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9704061The Fifth ForceEöt-Wash Group – “New Test of the Gravitational Inverse-Square Law at the Submillimeter Range”https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.11761NA64 Collaboration – “Hunting Down the X17 Boson at the CERN SPS”https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.02756Kaluza-Klein Theory and Extra DimensionsCERN – Extra Dimensions, Gravitons, and Tiny Black Holeshttps://home.cern/science/physics/extra-dimensions-gravitons-and-tiny-black-holes/Theodor Kaluza – “On the Unity Problem of Physics”https://inspirehep.net/literature/14622Shadow Matter and Hidden SectorsEdward Kolb, David Seckel, and Michael Turner – “The Shadow World of Superstring Theories”https://www.nature.com/articles/314415a0Lawrence Krauss, Alan Guth, David Spergel, George Field, and William Press – “Inflation and Shadow Matter”https://www.nature.com/articles/319748a0Dark Energy and Dimensional LeakageNobel Prize – The 2011 Nobel Prize in Physicshttps://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2011/summary/Nobel Prize – The Accelerating Expansion of the Universehttps://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2011/popular-information/Gia Dvali, Gregory Gabadadze, and Massimo Porrati – “4D Gravity on a Brane in 5D Minkowski Space”https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0005016The Holographic PrincipleLeonard Susskind – “The World as a Hologram”https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9409089Juan Maldacena – “The Large N Limit of Superconformal Field Theories and Supergravity”https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9711200Fermilab – The Holometerhttps://holometer.fnal.gov/index.htmlFermilab – Holometer Frequently Asked Questionshttps://holometer.fnal.gov/faq.htmlBrane Worlds and the BulkLisa Randall and Raman Sundrum – “A Large Mass Hierarchy from a Small Extra Dimension”https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9905221Lisa Randall and Raman Sundrum – “An Alternative to Compactification”https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9906064The Ekpyrotic and Cyclic UniverseJustin Khoury, Burt Ovrut, Paul Steinhardt, and Neil Turok – “The Ekpyrotic Universe: Colliding Branes and the Origin of the Hot Big Bang”https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0103239Paul Steinhardt and Neil Turok – “Cosmic Evolution in a Cyclic Universe”https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0111098M-Theory and the String LandscapeEdward Witten – “String Theory Dynamics in Various Dimensions”https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9503124Leonard Susskind – “The Anthropic Landscape of String Theory”https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0302219T.
