5. Guest: Hampton Sides. At Moorea, a stolen goat triggers a terrifying rage in Cook, who burns houses and canoes in retribution, shocking his officers. Sides reveals that after being left behind, Mai used British weapons in local conflicts but died young of disease. Cook's scorched-earth reaction highlights his deteriorating patience and mental state.
For years, crypto has been explained through charts.Price charts. Technical indicators. Cycle overlays. Historical comparisons.And for a long time, that made sense.Because early crypto behaved like a closed system — mostly influenced by retail traders, crypto-native capital, and predictable boom-bust psychology.But something changed in 2025.Not gradually.Structurally.And most people missed it because they were still staring at charts. Want to go deeper?Start here: Own The Economy — my framework for tracking the Digital Dollar shift, early Signals, and the infrastructure institutions are quietly building.
From the 2008 financial collapse to Bitcoin's birth as digital property - and the brutal truth about why Bitcoin isn't speculation but pure scarcity economics, the 21 million unit cap that makes it behave exactly like land where supply is fixed and demand drives value, the 2017 moment when Bitcoin went from $3,000 to $90,000 today turning 3,000 cedis into nearly 1 million cedis for early believers, and why Warren Buffett's rejection of Bitcoin proves the old guard will always resist new technology just like they resisted antibiotics until the generation that refused it died off and the younger generation made it standard, while the real question for your auntie with money in the bank becomes: do you think the world is becoming more physical or more digital, and if you say digital with AI and new technologies taking over every industry, then the follow-up is simple - do you own any digital wealth, because if the world becomes solely more digital it's the holders of digital assets who will be the Rockefellers and Carnegies of the next 10, 20, 30 years, not the people clutching physical cash that loses value every single year. In this raw episode of Konnected Minds, host Derrick Abaitey sits down with Dr. Hans - the investing tutor - who dismantles the dangerous "I can't see it so I won't invest in it" mentality keeping Africans locked out of the fastest-growing wealth-building asset in human history, revealing the exact moment when looking back at the community and asking what opportunity exists for individuals who feel priced out of buying land or multiple real estate properties led to the 2016 discovery of Bitcoin as the answer, when studying gold, land, stocks, and Bitcoin side by side made it clear that Bitcoin grew the most by far over any reasonable time period, when 2017 Bitcoin sat at $3,000 US dollars and today it's roughly $90,000 meaning someone who invested 3,000 cedis in 2017 would have close to 1 million cedis today, when the realization hit that Bitcoin is the first digital scarce asset - something you can't see or touch but exists as digital property in a world becoming more digital every single day, when a close friend said "Hans I don't do Bitcoin, I can't even see it, I can't touch it, I like to feel my money, I want to walk to a property and know it's there" and the response was simple: do you think the world is becoming more physical or digital, and if digital then do you own any digital wealth, when discovering Bitcoin in 2016 and watching it skyrocket then fall 60-70% triggered the reaction "this thing is a scam" and led to ignoring it for a year, when an article in 2017 revealed that Peter Thiel and the PayPal investors were creating a consortium to invest in Bitcoin and digital assets, when that moment forced the question: either I'm wrong or the billionaires are wrong, and judging by networks it was clearly me so I had to be humble enough to go educate myself, when going down the Bitcoin rabbit hole meant studying this asset class three to five hours every single day at 2X speed since 2016 and continuing that discipline up until today. This isn't motivational wealth-building talk from Instagram crypto gurus - it's a systematic breakdown of why Bitcoin is the first digital scarce asset that exists as property you can't see or touch in a world becoming more digital every single day, why someone who invested 3,000 cedis in Bitcoin in 2017 would have close to 1 million cedis today because Bitcoin went from $3,000 to roughly $90,000, why studying this asset three to five hours a day at 2X speed since 2016 is what separates real investors from people calling it a scam, why Peter Thiel and PayPal billionaires investing in Bitcoin forced the humble realization that either I'm wrong or they're wrong and judging by networks it was clearly me, why Warren Buffett's rejection of Bitcoin mirrors the old generation's rejection of antibiotics until they died off and the younger generation made it standard, why Warren Buffett's biggest wealth creator was Apple stock proving even tech skeptics win when they embrace digital innovation, why an Asian investor paid $4.5 million for lunch with Warren Buffett and walked away more convinced to invest in Bitcoin after Buffett said don't do it, why the 2008 financial collapse happened when banks sold risky mortgages to unqualified buyers and when interest rates increased the housing market crashed but taxpayers bailed out the wealthy bankers anyway, and why the simple question for anyone with money sitting in the bank is this: do you think the world is becoming more physical or more digital, and if digital then do you own any digital wealth - because if the world becomes solely more digital it's the holders of digital assets who will be the Rockefellers of the next 10, 20, 30 years.

God is moving, and this is not the season to stand still.In this message, the listener is invited into a powerful moment of spiritual awareness: a reminder that God's work often moves like a train, unstoppable, advancing, and purposeful. You don't need to understand everything to join it… but you do need to step on.“Don't Be Left Behind: Envisioning for Greater Heights” is a call to lift your eyes beyond what you see and begin to imagine what God intends. Drawing from the lives of Joshua and Nehemiah, this episode explores how vision is formed in prayer, strengthened by faith, and activated through obedience.You'll be challenged to shift from living by sight to living by vision, where problems become possibilities, closed doors become opportunities, and ordinary lives are invited into extraordinary impact.This is more than a sermon.It's an invitation to rise, align, and soar, so that none of us is left behind.
Give to help Chris make Truce Tim LaHaye wrote different kinds of books. Books on marriage, sexuality, the end times, and those involved in social and political movements. In his young years, Tim LaHaye taught for the John Birch Society. His conspiratorial view of the world carried over into his theology, evidenced by the Left Behind series, as well as the topic of the show today, The Battle for the Mind. Published in 1980, this little book takes a negative view of humanism. He defines humanism as, essentially, everything that has gone with society in the last 2,000 years. It's a very broad, almost useless definition. Humanism is actually a movement that started in Northern Italy around the 1200s, which tries to lift up the value of the human person. That takes a lot of different shapes, from secular or atheistic humanism to Christian humanism. In fact, as we argue in the episode, LaHaye's view misses the positive ways that humanism has shaped the United States and evangelicalism. My guest today is Dr. Darrell Bock. He is the author or editor of over 45 books, including commentaries on Luke and Acts. He is the Executive Director of Cultural Engagement and Senior Research Professor of New Testament Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary. He's also a host of DTS' podcast The Table.

No more excuses. No more waiting to see how things play out. AI has moved past the experimental phase, and if you’re still treating it like a nice-to-have rather than a fundamental shift in how your agency operates, you’re already falling behind. In this episode, Chip comes out swinging with a wake-up call for the agency community: the ground is shifting faster than most are willing to admit, and the window for meaningful adaptation is closing. Gini backs him up with examples of how AI has progressed from an intern-level tool to something that can genuinely replace mid-level work—if agencies don’t evolve what they’re selling. They dig into the practical reality of training AI tools to work like team members, not just one-off prompt machines. Chip explains how he uses different platforms for different strengths—Claude for writing, Gemini for competitive intelligence, Perplexity for research, and ChatGPT as his strategic baseline. Gini shares how her 12-year-old daughter creates entire anime worlds through conversation with AI, demonstrating the power of treating these tools as collaborators rather than search engines. The conversation covers what clients actually want to pay for in 2026 (hint: it’s not social posts and press releases), how to build AI agents trained on your specific expertise, and why the process of training AI forces valuable clarity about your business. They emphasize that this isn’t about slapping the “AI-powered” label on your services—it’s about fundamentally rethinking what value you deliver and how you deliver it. If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the AI dust to settle, this episode is your warning: there is no settling. There’s only evolution or extinction. Key takeaways Chip Griffin: “If you do not change, it will replace you. It will take away your revenue. If you keep doing the same thing that you’re doing today, it absolutely will destroy you.” Gini Dietrich: “We are no longer relying on our agencies to do the work. We are relying on agencies to teach us what’s coming ’cause we don’t have the time.” Chip Griffin: “AI is not just changing how your business operates, it’s changing how other businesses operate. It’s changing how the media operates. And so it is truly a disruptive force that we need to be thinking about.” Gini Dietrich: “When somebody says to me, oh, I just can’t get it to output what I need, I’m like, user error. You haven’t taken the time to train it.” Turn ideas into action Train one AI tool this week like you’d train an employee. Pick the platform you use most (ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini) and spend 30 minutes having an actual conversation with it about your preferences—tone, structure, what you hate (like emojis), and what outcomes you need. Feed it examples of your best work and tell it explicitly when outputs miss the mark and why. The tool won’t improve with one-shot prompts; it needs training just like a new hire. Map what clients will actually pay for in 2026. Block one hour to list every service you currently bill for, then honestly assess which ones AI can now handle at a competent level. Don’t lie to yourself—if ChatGPT can draft solid social posts or press releases after reviewing past examples, that’s table stakes now. Identify what remains valuable: strategy, teaching clients to use these tools, implementing new processes, or solving problems AI can’t touch. This clarity will drive every business decision you make this year. Test AI on something personal before rolling it to client work. If you or your team are intimidated by AI, start with meal planning, fitness routines, managing schedules, or drafting birthday card messages. Use it for something low-stakes where you can experiment with conversation-style prompting without pressure. Once you see how it responds to feedback and training in a personal context, you’ll understand how to apply the same approach to agency work. Resources LinkedIn post by Vineet Mehra that Gini references Related Agencies succeed through consistency and evolution AI myths agencies must avoid View Transcript The following is a computer-generated transcript. Please listen to the audio to confirm accuracy. Chip Griffin: Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Agency Leadership Podcast. I’m Chip Griffin. Gini Dietrich: And I’m Gini Dietrich. Chip Griffin: And Gini, you know, we started the new year off on a note where we weren’t gonna yell at our audience, but I feel like it, it’s time to yell at our audience again. I’ve taken too much time off from being Mr. Nice guy. Gini Dietrich: Okay, well this shall be interesting. I can’t wait. Chip Griffin: I, and this is, it’s partly for our audience, but it’s really for the overall agency community, particularly PR and marketing, PR and communications generally, even outside the agency world. I’m just, I’ve become kind of wound up lately because I think that the industry as a whole, and perhaps even some of our listeners are not acting swiftly enough to understand just how much the ground is shifting beneath them. Gini Dietrich: Yep. Chip Griffin: And how much serious evolution needs to take place. Really over the next year. I mean, I don’t think, I don’t think we’re on a long-term horizon here. I think that too many have waited to change too long in many ways, and AI is now becoming sort of the, the real trigger point for it, but it’s bigger than that. I think a lot of the, the PR space in general has lagged behind a lot of what’s going on in the business community, and AI is just the fist to the face that’s, that’s gonna separate out the people who are gonna survive. Gini Dietrich: The fist to the face. Wow. All right, then. Chip Griffin: I told you I was a little wound up on this one, so, Gini Dietrich: okay. So everybody’s gonna be punched in the face. Got it. Okay. Chip Griffin: If that’s what it takes to wake up and pay attention. Gini Dietrich: Yeah, no, I, yeah, I totally agree with you. And, you know, I have been gungho on AI for going on four years now. And it’s, it’s my second love for sure. But it is time to pay attention to how it is changing things and what it’s going to do to your business, to your teams, to how you deliver work, all those things. Chip Griffin: I mean, look, a lot of the PR world has been focused in recent years on figuring out how to keep their head above water and survive, and hang on to the old ways of doing things. And this predates the explosion of AI in recent years. Gini Dietrich: Yeah. Chip Griffin: But, what the explosion of AI has done is really, it has drawn the attention of particularly clients to the issue. It has drawn the attention of employees. It, and it is still being ignored. And I think we’ve hit that point where we can no longer ignore it. I think we’re at the point with a lot of these AI tools where they are now both accessible and reliable enough that there’s no reason not to accelerate your pace of change using AI as a tool to get there. And we’ve talked about this before, and I, and I’m not changing my point of view, AI is not the end in itself. The AI is just a way to get there. So don’t mistake what I’m saying here for saying that, you know, you just need to adopt AI for the sake of AI. You still need to find problems to solve first and AI will help you on a lot of them, but you need to be finding those problems. You need to be thinking ahead to what do clients really want from you? What is going to help them to get the results they’re looking for? It can’t be about how do I use AI to make myself a little bit more efficient in what I’m currently doing. Because everything is changing. And we need to be on top of that. Gini Dietrich: I read an article on LinkedIn probably in November, and I’ll see if I can find the link to include in show notes. But it, it was from a chief marketing officer at a Fortune 10 company, and what he said was this: if I were an agency wanting to work with clients in 2026, here are five things I would do. And I can’t remember all of them, but one of them was teach organizations, teach marketing and comms teams how to use AI to be more effective. Implement your process, whatever it happens to be. Because we are no longer relying on our agencies to do the work. We are relying on agencies to teach us what’s coming ’cause we don’t have the time. And that has stuck in my head because I think that’s right. I think that. Yeah, sure, agencies will always, or big companies, will always need arm extra arms and legs to do the work, but that’s not the work that most of us want to be doing. Right? We don’t wanna be writing the social posts and the news releases. We wanna be part of the strategic conversation. We wanna be part of the of helping to move an organization forward. And if we can do that by teaching our clients how to use AI to be more effective, to be more productive, to accelerate their work, and I know everybody’s worried it’s going to replace me, it’s going to, it’s going to reduce our number, our billable hours, whatever happens to be. I think there’s a huge opportunity here for you to reframe how you’re helping clients and using AI to be able to do that. Chip Griffin: Yeah, but I would be very direct with listeners. If you do not change, it will replace you. It will take away. Gini Dietrich: That’s fair. That’s totally fair. Chip Griffin: Your revenue. Gini Dietrich: Yes, it will. I totally agree with you. Yeah. Chip Griffin: So, you know when we say that you know that AI is not gonna destroy your agency, that’s only if you evolve. Gini Dietrich: That’s fair. Chip Griffin: If you keep doing the same thing that you’re doing today, it absolutely will destroy you. I don’t care whether you’re an employee or a business or whatever, if you are an employee and you think that AI isn’t gonna take your job in a year, it is If you don’t evolve, that’s and figure out how to use it for yourself. Gini Dietrich: Yep. That’s totally fair. Chip Griffin: And we need, everybody who’s listening needs to wake up to that fact. It requires a huge mindset shift. Gini Dietrich: Yes. Because AI can write your news releases, it can write your social posts. It can do all of that stuff that Chip Griffin: not only can, Gini Dietrich: we don’t wanna do anyway, Chip Griffin: It should. Yeah. Because it has evolved enough in the last year that the quality is there now. I used to describe AI as an intern. It is moved beyond the intern stage. Yep. It is at a minimum a junior employee, and if you train it well for your organization, it can be even a mid-level employee or perhaps even in some cases more than that. But this training piece is important too, because part of the problem that a lot of people run into in my experience is they, they hop onto the AI tool and they just say, Hey, write this press release on this subject. And I look at it, oh, this is rubbish. It still requires a lot of work. You know what? It absolutely does. The same thing would happen if you hired an employee off the street who knew nothing about you and your clients, and you said, write me a press release. The result would probably be pretty similar to what the AI came up with. Gini Dietrich: Yes. Chip Griffin: But once that employee starts writing more press releases and you start telling ’em, this is the tone of voice we use, this is the style we use, these are the facts we use. You feed more information into it. You explain your preferences. When you’re using these AI tools, you need to just be direct with it. Don’t accept the first response. Explain as you would with an employee what you want done differently. If you do that, it will tailor the outcomes. Even simple stuff. Like I’ve told them, stop showing me damn emojis. I don’t wanna see an emoji in any response because I think it’s wildly unprofessional and I hate them. Gini Dietrich: Yep. Chip Griffin: So guess what? I don’t see them anymore. Gini Dietrich: Yep. Chip Griffin: I’ve asked it to tighten up the spacing on it so that I can see more on a screen. It does that. And that’s even before you start telling it, you know, this is the structure of a paragraph that I like. You start feeding in information. I’ve fed in a thousand articles and transcripts and that sort of stuff into the platforms. It now can speak like me reliably to the point where I don’t know if what it’s giving me is a quote from something I’ve written before or original text that it’s come up with that just speaks so clearly in my voice. Gini Dietrich: I love that it will say, it will give, usually gives me three options. One is like strategic leadership, like C-level blurbs. That with Gini-isms or like smart, funny, witty blurbs. And then I can decide, and usually what I do is I take a combination of the three, but it has gotten to the point where if it actually calls it Gini-isms, that like it knows how I talk, it knows how I write, it knows how I coach, it does it knows all of those things. And it has created an opportunity for me to say, yeah, this probably, we probably shouldn’t have some Gini-isms in this ’cause it’s really professional. Or, we can include more because it’s more me talking to a screen or whatever happens to be. So it’s gotten to that point. It’s, when you train it, it’s very, very good. Chip Griffin: Well, and you can even tailor those recommendations. So one of the things that, that I’ve told it is it’s fine to give me multiple options, but give me your recommendation. Gini Dietrich: Yep. Chip Griffin: And when you do that, don’t give me a whole lot of backup on the alternative. So spend your time explaining why you’re making the recommendation. That’s fine. But then, you know, if it’s, let’s say it’s a title or something like that, you know, give me three or four other options, but it, by default, it tends to explain those three or other four other options. And so now you’re dealing with like a 10 page response, Gini Dietrich: right? Chip Griffin: For what should be something pretty simple. Gini Dietrich: Yes. Chip Griffin: So. I, part of my instructions to my tools are, don’t do that. Give me the alternatives, but just, you know, bullet point them. If I want more information, I’ll ask for it, but it allows it to work more the way that I want it to. And so we all need to do that. We also need to be looking at these tools and understanding that there’s no one size fits all solution. I have people say, well, should I, you know, should I use Claude or Chat GPT or Gemini? The answer is yes. Gini Dietrich: Yes to all of them. Chip Griffin: But they all serve different purposes. Yep. Just like you have different employees who serve different roles, these tools excel in different areas. I mean, Claude is fantastic at writing. I mean, to me, Claude is my head of writing because it can just absolutely nail it, but there’s a lot of things that it doesn’t do quite as well. Gini Dietrich: That’s right. Yep. Chip Griffin: And then I look at something like Gemini, and I love what Gemini does in terms of inferring things from research. So it’s more willing to go out on a limb, and kind of read between the lines of things that it finds to come back with, particularly for competitive intelligence or things like that. You know, deep research. Whereas Perplexity is very good for research where you really wanna make sure it’s accurate and you really wanna be able to cite all the sources, but it will not go out on a limb. So understanding what the strengths of each platform are is useful. And then there’s Chat GPT, which is sort of my, you know, my default choice for just basic stuff, strategy, et cetera. But I’ve also told it, tell me when I should go somewhere else. And so it’s good. It’ll say You should hand this off to Claude now. Gini Dietrich: I love that. Chip Griffin: Because we’ve, I’ve had an actual conversation with Chat GPT about my stack and, and what I think of it and I bounced things around and, you know, refined it. So now it knows how I want to handle certain things. And so it will stop at a certain point and say, now it’s time for you to go here. And that’s really helpful. Gini Dietrich: I love that. I do not do that. I usually move between, but I haven’t had it recommend when to move it. That’s… Chip Griffin: Yeah. I mean, but it could, because it won’t generally by default tell you to do that. But if you, if you explain what you have access to and what you want to use it for, it will tell you when is the right time, and sometimes I’ll pause and say, are you really the right one for this? Or should I be using one or the others? And they’ll say, no. Good point. You know, you should use this one instead for this particular task. Gini Dietrich: I love that. Chip Griffin: And it’s great. I mean, and I’ll, I’ll bring things back and forth like, so when I’m creating a piece of content, I’ll often, you know, ask more of the strategy piece from Chat GPT, because I’ve put more of the strategy stuff into there. Then I’ll go over to Claude to write it, but then I’ll bring it back for feedback. Now the next level is then to automate this with agents with n8n and those kinds of things. And, and so, you know, I’ll play with those things too. But for now, even doing it manually is a huge time saver, Gini Dietrich: huge time saver, Chip Griffin: and still ends up with really high quality content. It’s not, people talk about how AI is helping put out rubbish. And that’s because people are doing it without training. Gini Dietrich: Correct. Chip Griffin: You need to think through how you use these tools to get the results that your clients are looking for and the results that you need as a business. And this is where people are falling down, and this is where a lot more effort needs to go into it. If you want to not just survive but thrive. Gini Dietrich: Yeah, I totally agree with you. And you know, it’s funny ’cause when somebody says to me, oh, I just can’t get it to output what I need, and I’m like, user error. I usually say that because that’s exactly what it is, is you haven’t taken the time to train it. I, and you have to, I, you said earlier, you talk to it like it’s an employee. I do the same thing. Talk to it through like, okay, this isn’t quite right and here’s why. Think about this, this, this, and this. We also need to consider these things. And then it goes. Oh, okay. Goes into thinking mode and then it, it outputs pretty close to, but you have to have a conversation with it. I use this example all the time, but my 12-year-old is obsessed. Obsessed with anime, and she like, no, nothing else exists in her world right now other than anime. And she has created an entirely new ecosystem of anime worlds from her favorite shows using chat GPT. I mean, it’s so good that I’ve actually considered. Finding a, a publisher to have it published as fanfiction because it’s that good. And she doesn’t type into it. She literally has a conversation with Chat. She calls it Gee. And she will say, Gee, I’m thinking about this. I want the guy to do this, and I want the girl to do this. And like she has a whole conversation and it creates this world with her that… it’s fascinating to sit and listen to how she’s using it. So it’s the same kind of thing. Have a conversation with it. You can do it via voice, you can do it, you know, by typing whatever is easiest for you. But have a conversation with it and teach it just like you would an employee. It’s gonna learn faster. It doesn’t sleep, it doesn’t need to eat. It doesn’t need to work out. It doesn’t need to take a break. It doesn’t, it’s not going to pause for meetings. You can have stuff running in the background while you’re doing something else. I mean, it’s the more time you spend training it, just like with a human being, the better it is. Chip Griffin: Yep. And I’m gonna be honest, it’s gonna be, it’s gonna be more work and stress in the short term for you. Gini Dietrich: Sure. Chip Griffin: Yeah. I mean, this is not, Gini Dietrich: mm-hmm. Chip Griffin: You know, this is not a quick fix. It is not. It is not something where there’s some magic formula. You’re gonna have to try to figure out what works for you and for your team. What works for your clients. And the client piece is really where you need to start with this. You need to spend some time thinking about what are your clients really hiring you for? What are they going to need you for 12, 18, 24 months down the road? Then start figuring out how these tools can help you to get there. Because there’s just, there is too much of this “Well, you know, I need to, I need to protect my billing model, and so I need to do value pricing because of AI.” That is not the answer. Although if it were, what you would discover is that, that people are valuing less what you are doing today. So if you’re truly going to follow value pricing, that doesn’t mean that you get more. It means you probably get less for a lot of these things because they realize, you know, that drafting of a press release, I actually can get that out of Claude pretty well. Gini Dietrich: Yep. Yeah. Chip Griffin: Particularly if you feed it in your last three or four years worth of press releases. Gini Dietrich: Yep. Chip Griffin: It’ll be pretty darn good at coming up with them on their own. Gini Dietrich: Yep. Chip Griffin: Probably candidly, in less time that it takes to communicate to your team that they want it. Gini Dietrich: Yep. 100%. Yes. Chip Griffin: Now there will still be companies that are happy to outsource it generally. Gini Dietrich: Sure. Chip Griffin: Right. That’s, that is always going to exist. But the way that they value it from a price standpoint and the other things that they want alongside of it will absolutely change. And you need to be thinking about that. Because AI is not just changing how your business operates, it’s changing how other businesses operate. It’s changing how the media operates. And so it is truly a disruptive force that we need to be thinking about as communicators and as agency folks because it, it upends a lot of what we have done, tactically at least, in recent years and over the decades. It does not upset the outcomes that are being sought after. Gini Dietrich: That’s right. Chip Griffin: From the work that we’re doing. Gini Dietrich: That’s right. Chip Griffin: And, and we lose sight of that for the tactics too often. Gini Dietrich: One of the things that I did is I built an agent, and I call it my co CEO. And as I was building it, I was going through a really rough HR time and so I used it mostly, honestly, just to vent. But it got to know me, and what’s important to me, and my voice, and what things I wanted to be human forward on, and what things I needed to stay professional on. And so I, as I was building it, it was, I was going through that process. Now I can say to it, okay, we’re thinking about doing this. So for instance, a client came to me probably midyear last year and said, Hey, we really want your team to do an audit of all of our brands and where they sit on the PESO model maturity level. And I kind of laughed and said, well, I can tell you right now, they’re all at level zero. And he was like, great, that’s good to know. What’s what takes us from zero to one, one to two, and so on up. And I thought about that for a little bit and I was like, hmm. I don’t have an answer for that. And so I went into my CO CEO and I had a conversation with it. Like, if we were gonna build a maturity model for the PESO model for an enterprise customer, what does that look like? And it probably took two weeks for me to get something that I could go back to him with and feel comfortable and confident with it. But it would’ve taken me two months to do that on my own. So, you know, it helps you think, it helps poke through holes in things. You have an AI that you’re building and I hope it’s okay for me to mention this ’cause I don’t know if it’s available yet, but I got to beta test it and it’s, I put in there that I was looking for. I said, okay, this is where, this is where the business is at the end of 2025. These are our goals for 2026. Here’s what I’d like to do in the next three to five years. Here’s like, I put in all of that information, where are the holes? And it started poking holes into things that I had never even considered. And I was like. Chip, this is really good. It’s just, it’s really, really good. So when you, when you train it, when you teach it what you’re wanting, what your voice is, what you’re trying to achieve, it is going to help you in more ways than one. It’s gonna help you think through problems. It’s gonna help you come up with solutions you didn’t consider. And like I said, it doesn’t need to sleep. So it can work in the background while you’re doing other things. Chip Griffin: Yeah. And there are a lot of these ways that we can innovate for our businesses and that particular example, it is live on the SAGA website now. It’s an AI agent called Sage. Gini Dietrich: It’s awesome and everyone should check it out. Chip Griffin: It’s trained on a huge volume of my both public and private materials that I’ve created over the last eight or nine years, and it does a remarkably good job of mimicking the advice I would give. Is it a hundred percent? One-to-one? No. Yeah, but it’s, it’s pretty darn close to the point where I’ve had a couple of clients now who have tried it and then asked me the same question they asked of Sage, and they got almost exactly the same answer. And, and so that’s how, you know, it’s, it’s working pretty well because I think, as any listener knows, I have some views that are not necessarily exactly in line with every other advisor in the agency space. And so, and in some of those cases, they were pieces of advice that you wouldn’t get if you went somewhere else. So, you know, you can tell that it’s actually using the training materials. And not simply doing a general knowledge search. But these are all things, it does take time. You’ve gotta have the material to provide to it. You need to spend the time with it, as you did in conversing and going back and forth. But the more you go back and forth, the smarter it gets. Gini Dietrich: That’s right. Chip Griffin: And the better it can help you the next time something comes along. Gini Dietrich: That’s right. Chip Griffin: And I think the other thing is that the more you use these tools, the more it forces you to think about some of these things. Because in order to get the most from them, you really have to be very clear about who is your ideal client? What are the services you provide? What is the value you deliver? And so, it’s just like a business plan. I always say that the business plan itself doesn’t really matter, but the process you go through to create it does. The process you go through to train your AI itself is beneficial and helps to get clarity. Because the clearer you are with the AI, the clearer you are with yourself by necessity. And so you need to be thinking about these things. You need to be really thinking about making much more radical change to your business over the next year or two than you probably have previously thought. You really need to be thinking about how not just technology, but client needs will force this change, otherwise you are gonna get left behind. Gini Dietrich: Yeah, I totally agree. And to your point earlier, if you evolve and if you use it, and you’re better, you’re doing a better job of understanding what it is that your clients are willing to pay for, and they’re still willing to do it. They just don’t wanna pay for social posts and news releases. Chip Griffin: That’s right. I mean, there’s a huge opportunity here. There’s a giant threat, Gini Dietrich: huge opportunity, Chip Griffin: and I don’t wanna minimize that, but there’s a huge opportunity. Gini Dietrich: Yep. Chip Griffin: But the key is you actually have to evolve and change. You can’t just play buzzword bingo. Gini Dietrich: Yes, please. Chip Griffin: Just slapping AI on top of something that you deliver that’s not gonna help you. Gini Dietrich: And it’s fun. It’s fun to test it. It’s fun to try it out. So do it. Chip Griffin: Yeah, Gini Dietrich: Do it, do it, do it. Chip Griffin: I mean, but we can’t minimize. It is scary for a lot of people too. I mean, Gini Dietrich: sure, absolutely. Yeah. Chip Griffin: But you’ve gotta, you’ve gotta embrace that fear if you wanna succeed. Gini Dietrich: Yeah. I always say when I have somebody new join the team that’s scared of it, I say, all right, let’s do it. Let’s use it for something personal. So I will say that to you as well. Meal planning, fitness, hobbies. Managing your kids’ meltdowns, whatever it happens to be, just try it for something. Write a poem in a birthday card. Try it for something personal, and I guarantee you, you’ll be hooked. Chip Griffin: I had no idea we’d be getting to poems and birthday cards here today. So I think that’s the note that we’re gonna wrap up this episode on. I’m Chip Griffin. Gini Dietrich: And I’m Gini Dietrich. Chip Griffin: And it depends.

Unsealed forensic filings from the Bryan Kohberger case reveal devastating new details about what happened inside the King Road house on November 13, 2022 — including evidence that one victim's fight for survival may have been what brought down her killer.Xana Kernodle was stabbed 67 times. That number alone is staggering, but the context makes it more significant. Kaylee Goncalves sustained 38 wounds, Madison Mogen 28, and Ethan Chapin 17. Xana's wound count exceeds the other three combined. And unlike her roommates, Xana had blood on the bottoms of her bare feet — the only victim who moved after the attack began.Blood pattern analysis found traces of Kaylee and Maddie's blood on the stairwell and bannister leading from the third floor to the second. Since both women never stood up, investigators believe Xana went upstairs, encountered Kohberger mid-attack, and fled with him pursuing her. Police documented an intense struggle and defensive wounds between her fingers, with injuries extending into the bones of her hand. Kaylee's sister called Xana a hero — and the evidence supports that.Prosecutors now believe her fight caused Kohberger to leave behind the DNA-laden knife sheath that cracked the case.Also today: Idaho State Police released 2,800 crime scene photos last week, then removed them hours later after giving families less than 15 minutes' notice. A court order was supposed to prevent this.

This episode expands on my latest Front Run The Week newsletter, where I explored a quiet but important idea: what actually matters when nothing looks urgent.I start with a small media moment — a TradFi discussion where Solana is mentioned as the acceptable crypto reference, while a larger market-cap asset with deeper institutional momentum goes unmentioned. That omission matters more than the mention itself.From there, I zoom out to the bigger picture. The most important shifts in crypto don't announce themselves. Infrastructure gets built quietly, settlement rails form before narratives follow, and institutions move long before the story is obvious.In this episode, I break down:Why media mentions are often lagging indicatorsWhat it means when major crypto infrastructure is omitted, not attackedWhy XRP and similar assets matter in the plumbing conversation, even when they're absent from headlinesHow to think about crypto when progress is happening beneath the surfaceThis isn't a trading episode or market commentary. It's about judgment — learning how to recognize what matters before it becomes urgent.If you want the signal in writing, you can read the free newsletter. If you want to understand how these pieces connect, this podcast is where I slow it down.

Lately, more rappers are saying “F the streets.”Some call it growth. Others call it betrayal.In this solo Ern episode, I explore both sides of the coin—the artists who've evolved and are choosing peace, safety, and longevity, and the fans who feel abandoned by the very voices they helped make rich.We talk about how wealth changes perspective, how it's easier to reject street life once you're insulated from it, and why that message can feel dismissive to people still living in those conditions. This isn't about glorifying the streets—or shaming growth. It's about accountability, communication, and honesty.Can artists walk away from what built them…without rewriting history or leaving their audience behind?

For many American Christians, the book of Revelation didn't first come from careful Bible study — it came through a story. Dramatic disappearances. Global chaos. A world spiraling toward judgment. For an entire generation, the end of the world had a plotline, characters, and a clear timeline — and without realizing it, fiction slowly became theology. In this episode, we explore how modern end-times storytelling didn't just reflect Christian beliefs… it reshaped them. We look at how one particular theological system rose to cultural dominance, why many believers assume it's the “historic Christian view,” and how that assumption dramatically changed the way Revelation is read in churches today. We'll talk about: • How Revelation shifted from a pastoral letter to a prediction chart • Why fear became the dominant emotion in end-times teaching • How Jesus often moved from the center while the Antichrist took the spotlight • What the early church, historic Christianity, and the Wesleyan tradition actually emphasize • Why Revelation is less about escaping the world and more about faithful allegiance within it Revelation was not given to satisfy our curiosity about the future — it was given to shape our character in the present. Before beasts, timelines, and speculation, there is a throne. Before destruction, there is renewal. Before fear, there is the Lamb. Maybe the most faithful thing we can do today is learn to read Revelation again — not as a code to crack, but as a call to courageous, steady faithfulness to Jesus.
This week we report on the U.S. State Department's radical expansion of the Mexico City Policy, also known as the global gag rule, which blocks U.S. federal funding to international nongovernmental organizations that provide or inform about abortion. Beyond the traditional reproductive health restrictions, three sweeping new rules now tether all U.S. foreign assistance to strict prohibitions on “gender ideology” as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, initiatives. During the conversation we also dig into the key findings of a report published by the European Network on Debt and Development, or Eurodad, which warns that modernized aid rules are focusing on the political and commercial priorities of wealthy donors while leaving the world's poorest countries buried in debt. We also touch on the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank's updated accountability and grievance mechanism, and our exclusive story which reveals through a set of leaked emails that the Beijing-based lender is sidestepping on-the-ground meetings with Indigenous communities over alleged human rights abuses at a tourism development project in Indonesia. To explore these stories, Senior Reporter Adva Saldinger sits down with Managing Editor Anna Gawel and Global Development Reporter Jesse Chase-Lubitz for the latest episode of our weekly podcast series.

This week on Seeing Red, we're covering one of the most devastating and upsetting cases we've ever examined. In Part One of this two-part series, we take you through the events leading up to the death of two-year-old Parker Scholtes. We look at her life, her family, and the decisions made in the hours before she was left alone in a hot car — decisions that would end in irreversible tragedy. This episode focuses on the build-up: the timeline, the warning signs, and the moments that culminated in Parker being declared dead. It's a deeply emotional case, and we've chosen to split it into two parts out of respect for the gravity of what happened — and because there is far too much to unpack responsibly in a single episode. Part Two, which will be out next week, will examine what followed in the aftermath — the legal consequences, public reaction, and how this case ultimately concluded — but for now, this episode ends where Parker's life did. Content warning: child death, neglect, and extremely distressing material. www.patreon.com/seeingredpodcast https://www.buymeacoffee.com/seeingredtw www.seeingredpodcast.co.uk Theme music arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears: www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag Learn more about your ad choices.

Give to help Chris make Truce Tim and Beverly LaHaye were a prominent American evangelical Christian couple known for their influential work in ministry, literature, and conservative activism. Tim LaHaye, born in 1926 in Detroit, Michigan, was a pastor, author, and speaker who gained national recognition through his work in Christian fiction and prophecy interpretation. He served as a pastor for over 25 years before turning to full-time writing and speaking, often focusing on end-times theology and family values. Beverly LaHaye, born in 1929, was a vocal advocate for conservative Christian values and women's roles in society, founding the organization Concerned Women for America in 1979. Tim LaHaye is perhaps best known as the co-author of the Left Behind series, a best-selling collection of apocalyptic novels written with Jerry B. Jenkins. The series dramatizes a fictionalized version of the Rapture and subsequent tribulation, based on Tim's interpretation of Biblical prophecy. These books sold over 80 million copies worldwide and sparked renewed interest in eschatology within evangelical circles. In addition to fiction, he wrote numerous nonfiction books addressing topics such as marriage, politics, and spirituality, always with a conservative Christian perspective. Together, Tim and Beverly LaHaye were a formidable force in American evangelicalism, combining their talents in writing, activism, and public speaking to influence both Christian thought and conservative politics. Married for over 60 years until Tim's death in 2016, they left behind a legacy of fervent advocacy for their faith and values. While supporters praised their dedication to scripture and family, critics often challenged their political and theological positions. Regardless, their impact on late 20th and early 21st-century evangelicalism remains significant. Sources: Dreyfuss, R. (2004, Feb). "Reverend Doomsday". Rolling Stone, pp. 46-49. White, G.

Overview: We discuss what culturally responsive care really means for underserved communities and how technology, especially AI, can create more equitable solutions in healthcare. We reflect on the challenge of finding tools that expand care teams and deepen patient trust without losing the essential personal touch of community health centers. We talk candidly about the intersection of technology, ROI, and ethics—asking what true success looks like when serving vulnerable populations. Co-design and collaboration with communities are at the heart of our conversation, as we discuss ways tech can scale privilege and raise the quality of care, like improving language access through AI-driven translation services. We also confront the limits of technology and the need for policy change, sharing practical examples from our work and finding hope in partnerships that lead to meaningful innovation Three Takeaways: The Power of Co-Design in Tech SolutionsWe repeatedly highlight that truly useful technology in healthcare—especially for marginalized communities—must be co-designed with input from those very communities. Instead of developing products in isolation and then trying to “retrofit” trust or usability, starting collaborative design from the beginning is critical to both trust and effectiveness. ROI Isn't Just Financial—It's Community HealthInstead of boiling everything down to monetary return, Luis Padilla reframes ROI as the improvement in health, trust, and culturally appropriate care for disenfranchised patients. For community health centers, “margin” is reinvested in service, not profit—a strong counter-narrative to typical business language in healthcare tech. Language Access Technology Has Equity Potential The episode brings forward concrete examples—like live multilingual translation at Asian Health Services—showing how technology (AI-powered live voice translation, multiple language EMR interpretation) can “raise the floor” for accessibility. These innovations move beyond privilege and begin to level the playing field for communities historically left behind.

Bitcoin hasn't been loud lately — and that's exactly why this moment matters.In this episode of The Chip Mahoney Show, I explain why Bitcoin is no longer behaving like a speculative asset, but increasingly like capital — and how that shift changes who benefits next.We talk about why retail interest is at cycle lows, why that's not bearish, and why institutions are quietly normalizing Bitcoin as collateral and balance-sheet infrastructure. I introduce the idea of Precoiners — the next wave of first-time retail investors who will likely arrive only after validation, when access no longer feels easy. Want to go deeper?Start here: Own The Economy — my framework for tracking the Digital Dollar shift, early Signals, and the infrastructure institutions are quietly building.

Some hauntings don't arrive with terror—they unfold quietly, drifting through generations like unfinished conversations. In this episode, Jana shares the story of a lifetime shaped by subtle, lingering touches from the other side. It began when she was eight years old, the moment she somehow knew her grandmother had passed before anyone told her. While the rest of her family received signs of comfort in the weeks that followed, Jana believed she was the only one left without a message… until one night, when her grandmother appeared at the window of the room she couldn't bring herself to sleep in alone.But her grandmother's visit was only the beginning.For years, Jana and her sister shared a dream they never knew they had in common—a dream rooted in a part of their grandparents' house that, according to renovations, once existed in reality. And later, long after the family home changed hands, something continued moving quietly through Jana's life: footsteps on empty stairs, warmth in places no one stood, and the soft stirring of a spoon in a dark kitchen where no one was awake.#TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #FamilySpirits #SharedDreams #ParanormalPodcast #GhostEncounter #AfterlifeSigns #SupernaturalExperiences #HauntedMemories #SpiritVisitationsLove real ghost stories?

A skeptic sits down to dinner with Jesus at a quiet Italian restaurant, and a half-million readers later, David Gregory finds himself at the center of Christian fiction's unlikely boom. I invited David to unpack how a self-published novella became a national bestseller, why some faith-forward stories cross into the mainstream, and what it really takes to write novels that don't preach yet still carry a clear message.We get practical fast: what qualifies a book as Christian fiction, how to keep theology organic to the plot, and why readers bristle when characters pause for sermons. David shares behind-the-scenes moments from Dinner with a Perfect Stranger, the ripple effects of The Shack and the Left Behind series, and the ongoing shelving debate that keeps many faith-based novels in the religion aisle instead of general fiction. We also talk audience realities—why women 35+ dominate the category, how teens still respond when the story sings, and the surprising power of simple word of mouth over trend-chasing tactics.Then we zoom out to the business. David explains the platform-first logic of today's publishers, why he returned to self-publishing after major-house launches, and what has and hasn't moved the needle for discoverability. He teases new projects, including a fable-like work for all ages and screen adaptations of The Last Christian and One of Us, a contemporary retelling of the gospels through the life of Manuel, a Mexican American mechanic. If you care about faith, fiction, or the craft of making both feel real, this conversation will change how you think about story.Have a comment? Text me! Support the show

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Mel Kohberger was training to become a mental health therapist when her brother was arrested for murdering four University of Idaho students. In one phone call, her entire life changed. Her job offer evaporated. Tabloids camped outside her parents' house. Online sleuths picked apart every detail of her family's history — including her sister Amanda's appearance in a 2011 horror film that featured stabbings.For three years, the Kohberger family stayed silent out of respect for the victims' families. Now, in a new interview with The New York Times, Mel is finally telling her side of the story.She reveals the last normal Christmas the family spent together — just days before the FBI raid. She describes her brother's struggles with bullying, autism, and heroin addiction, and the pride the family felt when he seemed to turn his life around. She explains the drawing Bryan held during his sentencing — not a "creepy" symbol, as tabloids claimed, but a colorful heart she made to remind him he was still loved.This isn't a defense of Bryan Kohberger. He pleaded guilty. He's serving four life sentences. This is about what happens to the people connected to someone who commits an unthinkable act — and what the true crime obsession costs the people we never think about.Featuring reporting from The New York Times, CBS News, and ABC News.#BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #KohbergerSister #TrueCrimePodcast #IdahoStudentMurders #MadisonMogen #KayleeGoncalves #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Stefan Molyneux examines the idea of "defooing," a process of breaking away from harmful family patterns to build a better life ahead. He points out how defooing requires active steps, since damaging family members often block progress in personal bonds and development. Using stories from listeners, he talks about gaining perspective from others, and how family background affects one's sense of self and dealings with people.He looks at the difficulties in reaching out to family like brothers or sisters after pulling back from a poisonous setup. Molyneux covers the tangled feelings and dangers of being upfront about family issues, noting the likely pushback from those who side with the wrongdoers. He wraps up by considering the role of honesty in creating solid relationships, and stresses choosing ties that actually help, to support one's own recovery and advancement.SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro Gilligan-Toth begin the new year by pulling apart something we all use but rarely question: the calendar. From Julius Caesar's ego-driven timekeeping decisions to the leap year, misplaced months, and how entire civilizations quietly agreed on when the year should begin, it's a surprisingly strange history of how humans try — and often fail — to organize time itself. But once the clock runs out, the episode takes a much darker turn. Jethro dives into the true story of the Memorial Mound in Bessemer, Alabama — an underground burial mausoleum inspired by ancient Roman catacombs and Indigenous burial traditions, designed to last for centuries. Instead, it became one of the most disturbing cases of abandonment in modern funeral history. After the site quietly closed, human remains were left behind for years. Caskets stacked like warehouse inventory. Bodies decomposing in sealed darkness. An infant among them. When urban explorers finally entered the structure in 2014, what they found triggered a federal investigation and raised troubling questions about oversight, neglect, and how easily the dead can be forgotten. Along the way, you'll hear:• The strange origins of month names and New Year's Day• How calendars slowly drifted out of reality• A “Thing in the Middle” packed with bizarre machine and technology facts• And a documented case of human remains abandoned inside an American mausoleum It's a story about time, memory, and what happens when systems fail — quietly, slowly, and out of sight.

A young person living alone in a quiet duplex is plagued by recurring dreams—intrusive, vivid, and wrong. Each night, a humanoid figure appears, watching, whispering the same message: you don't belong here. He begins waking with unexplained chest pain… and deep, deliberate scratches carved into his skin. Sleep becomes something to fear. And then one night, the dreams stop—because whatever was haunting him is no longer waiting for sleep... Follow Be.
