319. Cuffy and the Power of Letting Go In this episode of Creative Chats, Mike Brennan shares a personal story about bowling, his playful alter ego "Cuffy," and the surprising power of loosening control. What begins as a funny family memory becomes a deeper reflection on perfectionism, creativity, and the freedom that comes from showing up with more joy and less pressure.Mike explains how trying too hard often creates tension, frustration, and disappointing results—whether in bowling, pickleball, drawing, or creative work. He encourages listeners to stop white-knuckling their way through life, embrace imperfection, and make room for fun as part of the process, not just the reward at the end.He also reflects on how creativity has helped him reconnect with himself and how his book, Make Fun a Habit, explores this same idea through short stories, reflections, and exercises. In this episode, you'll hear: The story behind Mike's alter ego, Cuffy Why trying to control too much can backfire How silliness can reduce pressure and improve performance A reminder that creativity should feel alive, not just productive How fun can be a practice, not a prize Key takeaways: Perfectionism can disconnect you from joy and creativity Loosening up can create better results and a better experience You don't have to compare your beginning to someone else's middle Creativity is a personal resource for problem-solving, expression, and life Mentioned in this episode: Mike Brennan's book: Make Fun a Habit Website: mikebrennan.me About the host Mike Brennan is a creative guide who helps people reconnect with themselves through creativity.

The Point of Now: Presence, Identity and Seeing Through the Busy Mind  The podcast series explores a game-changing understanding of the human mind that operates “Before Psychology” — the secret source that exponentially increases peace, performance, and potential for any individual or organisation. A simple yet powerful way to see through the noisy mind  In this episode, Piers speaks with fellow coach and author Suzie Yeulett about her new book The Point of Now, and the simple but profound direction it points towards: the present moment, the nature of thought, and the resilience that is already available beneath the noise of the mind. The conversation explores how much of our suffering comes from living in the mind's projections of past and future, and how presence is not something we need to find, force or practise, but something that is already here. Suzie shares how her own experience of being with her mother at the end of life revealed a natural resilience that she had not created through tools, techniques or self-improvement. Piers and Suzie also explore the deeper Quality of Mind theme of mistaken identity: what is the “self” actually made of, and what changes when identity is seen as thought, sensation and perception rather than something solid? The episode moves from practical examples of anxiety and overthinking into a deeper inquiry into presence, feeling, identity and the possibility of living with less striving and more natural clarity. Key Discussion Takeaways Presence is already here - it is not something we need to manufacture or force Much of our pressure comes from thought travelling into past and future Identity is not fixed or solid; it appears through thought, sensation and perception The “self” may not be something to improve, but something to see through Feeling is not a problem to fix - we are designed to feel This is not about adding another technique, reframe or grounding tool Simple noticing can reveal how the mind works and naturally lighten the load Life becomes less serious when the role of the mind is seen more clearly Key Chapters include:   03:33 How change can happen through recognition rather than tools or techniques 05:08 Suzie explains “the point of now” and her inverted triangle framework 06:50 Presence is already here - we are not looking for something missing 08:42 The everyday operating system of busy-mindedness and control 10:08 Anxiety, overthinking and asking: “where is the problem right now?” 12:18  The “fear of fear” and how anticipation creates suffering 13:51 Realisation versus using presence as another technique 14:48 What is identity, and why “shifting identity” may miss the deeper point 16:05 Direct experience inquiry and seeing the self as psychological 18:49 The case of mistaken identity and why it keeps us in the operating mind 20:10 Taking things personally and how that contracts perspective 21:24 Neutral noticing, expanded aperture and seeing that it is not really happening to “me” 23:17 The part of us that is undamaged by experience 24:35 Why we are designed to feel, rather than distract ourselves from feeling 27:05 When the conceptual mind has nowhere to go 28:07 What babies show us about feeling without self-identification 29:38 Seeing the mind move from invisible, to subtle, to obvious 32:24 How trying to be present can reinforce the separate self 36:54 How far simple noticing can take us 38:11 Loosening the conviction of separate identity 41:10 The relief of seeing there may not be a problem to fix 41:51 Why the words are not the point - the recognition underneath is 43:47 Natural change versus more tools, protocols and strategies 50:15 Life becomes less serious when we take the mind less seriously       Curious?

For more information on how to control your anger, visit angersecrets.com.In this episode, anger expert Alastair Duhs walks through seven of the most common anger management mistakes that keep people stuck, even when they're genuinely trying to change. Whether you've read all the books, tried breathing exercises or sat through a course or two, this episode explains why the effort often doesn't stick and what to do differently starting today.Rather than offering surface-level fixes, Alastair goes deeper - looking at the root causes of why anger keeps coming back and giving you practical, honest tools to finally break the pattern. And the good news is that recognising these mistakes is often all it takes to start seeing real change.Key Takeaways:Most anger management treats the symptoms, not the root cause. Until you address what you're thinking, not what's happening, you'll keep fighting the same battle.Suppressing anger doesn't make it disappear. It builds. Learning to catch it early and deescalate is far more effective than pushing it down.When you blame others for your anger, you hand them all the power. Taking responsibility for your own responses is one of the most liberating shifts you can make.Anger doesn't arrive out of nowhere. Your body gives you signals before things escalate. Learning to notice them gives you a window to make a different choice.Negative self-talk pours fuel on the fire. Shifting from "I can't handle this" to "This is hard, but I've handled hard things before" can be the difference between escalating and staying in control.Rigid expectations about people or about life create a relentless sense that everyone is letting you down. Loosening that grip creates more peace than most people expect.Trying to change deep-seated patterns alone is genuinely difficult. The right support makes change happen far faster than most people ever expect.Resources & Next Steps: If you'd like support working through any of these patterns and building calmer, more loving relationships:Visit angersecrets.comBook a free 30-minute phone callAccess the free training on "Breaking The Anger Cycle"

Families already struggling with alcohol harm will be worse off if Easter alcohol restrictions are loosened acording to a public heallth adviser. Currently, businesses with an on-licence can only sell alcohol if the customer is "residing or lodging" on the premises, or "present on the premises to dine." However a member's bill, from Labour's Kieran McAnulty, would let premises already open on Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Anzac Day morning and Christmas Day to sell alcohol under normal licence conditions - that means people won't have to order food. Sarah Sneyd, a senior senior health promotion adviser at Alcohol HealthWatch spoke to Lisa Owen.

Less confusion over a drink at the local club, as options increase for serving alcohol. Currently, local sport clubs, RSAs and community clubs can only serve alcohol to members and their guests. The Government's today announced clubs can now choose to stick with their current license or apply to serve the wider public - like a restaurant or bar. Clubs NZ CEO, Lucy Waterreus, says many people didn't know these restrictions exist. "You might have someone that decides to pop into their local club, support a community event - only to discover they actually can't be served."

In this week's episode, Nate unpacks the pervasive behavioral pull of sunk cost as a force shaping our material reality, identities, and collective expectations about the future. Past investments – in careers, possessions, and cultural narratives – lock us into patterns of defending what might no longer actually serve us. This tendency becomes more and more relevant as the world shifts in ways that demand adaptability rather than stagnancy. Deep loyalty to former choices, even as we absorb new information about our lived environments, can limit our ability to make wiser, more future-oriented decisions. By widening the sunk cost lens beyond solely economic terms, Nate reveals how previous, culturally-inherited attachments influence everything from suburban infrastructure to household decision-making. Loosening the grip of sunk cost on our society may require careful pruning of our current lifestyles so that we may regain agency to build up the skills required to flourish in an uncertain future. Which parts of your own life feel tethered more to past effort than present and future value? How might the built environment around you shape what feels necessary in your life? And, what new "status stories" could be told to help your community transition towards a more resilient future?   Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

There's relief as the Government loosens rules on growing hemp, despite law enforcement concerns. Cabinet's agreed to remove licensing requirements for industrial growing and handling crops, although growers must now notify Police and MPI before starting up. A Regulatory Impact Statement shows Customs and Police warned of risks from illegal cannabis growers. Hemp Industries Association Chair Richard Barge told Heather du Plessis-Allan its good news for the growers and the people who will produce the raw materials. He says the supply chain will be well enhanced, and the next step now is to get the value chain established. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Things Discussed: HOOPS Craig and the Half a Head story vis a vis Tarik Skubal. Aday Mara holy crap. He was last year's on-off numbers while playing 37/45 minutes. When he was on the floor Wake Forest was 27% at the rim. M needs to figure out the rest. Loosening balls but not converting them to turnovers. Have three bigs on the floor and none know how to box out because they were the rebounding alphas. Three Bigs? Don't think it's going to work because Morez Johnson taking a three in the flow of the offense isn't going to work. The point of Yaxel is to make him a four, so you're effectively using Johnson at small forward. Maybe if you also make Mara a Wolf-level assist guy? They won a game when they shot 16% from three; if they can be 33% from three and have Mara's defense it's over. Don't overreact to Lendeborg's start: injured hand and Wake was a weird team that didn't have big tradeoffs from switching only 6'7" guy on Lendeborg to another. Loose balls: not boxing out when they're not boxing out, the way they play is everyone can be aggressive on their man and you have a behemoth, so nobody's facing the ball when he knocks it loose. Defense needs to be more aggressive: You saw Gayle got it; he overplayed on the perimeter and got some turnovers because if they cut behind you you're still covered. Wake's first shots sucked. LJ's thing is he goes in the lane, but this team doesn't have a lot of perimeter shooting. Tschetter's defense doesn't match well with this team, but he can get you threes. Was hoping he could be on the court with Johnson and Mara but he can't unless Morez can take threes. Trey McKenney was a revelation on defense. He knows where to be, has that length. Can they run offense without Cadeau on the court? Cadeau also needs to be more careful with the ball—deserved six turnovers. FOOTBALL Northwestern Preview: Low-scoring game. They're good on defense, they're interception-prone, they're best at putting two TEs on the field and running OZ and Duo; Michigan might be able to play two-DTs. When they do well they get movement on the front. Caleb Tiernan: Always loved Northwestern. If we're in a match of who can out-1950s the other give me Michigan's OL and Jordan Marshall. If M gets an explosive they can look for it in the RPO game: NWern can't go to their 3rd safety and their SS is a 6'4"/220 hybrid guy. Maybe get him against Marsh? Barham at edge or linebacker? I vote linebacker, because that makes them tell you how they're going to set up. TONY PETTITI IS GOING TO END THE BIG TEN Trying to pass their their "pay-day loan" (thank you Regent Bernstein) over the objections of Michigan and USC is the way they get Michigan to leave when the Grant of Rights expires. When all of these are mid-majors in 20 years remember this moment, and the idiots trying to solve today's problems with a cash infusion that future fans will have to pay for.

Through honest reflection and actionable wisdom, it explores how to release the pressure of doing everything yourself, trust God's faithful presence, and intentionally build a circle of support that will shape your son's future. Loosening your grip is not letting go — it is entrusting your son to the One who loves him most and will be faithful to complete the work He has begun.Invite others in. Look for godly men, mentors, and couples already in your life and intentionally welcome them to speak into your son's story.Create rhythms of faith. Lead your home spiritually with regular conversations about God's character, daily prayer, and simple mother-son devotionals.Surrender what you can't control. Write down fears, plans, or expectations that weigh on you and commit them to God in prayer.Speak life over your son. Remind him often that he is loved and encourage him to watch for God's activity in his life.Other Resources:The Importance of Mentors and How to AskThe Value of a Mentor Podcast Episode 49 with Guests Evan Apon and Dave InabnitThe Investment of a Mentor Podcast Episode 52 with Guests Brandon Apon and Eric HelmsScripture Encouragement“For with God nothing will be impossible.” — Luke 1:37 “A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy habitation.” — Psalm 68:5The absence of a father changes your family's story, but it does not define its future.

Praise for the Government's loosening of climate reporting rules. It's proposing to lift the climate reporting threshold for listed companies worth 60 million dollars to one billion. The changes would also see directors no longer have personal responsibility if their company breaks climate reporting rules. NZX Sustainability Manager Simon Beattie told Mike Hosking that they're common sense changes. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AI Assisted Coding: From Deterministic to AI-Driven—The New Paradigm of Software Development, With Markus Hjort In this BONUS episode, we dive deep into the emerging world of AI-assisted coding with Markus Hjort, CTO of Bitmagic. Markus shares his hands-on experience with what's being called "vibe coding" - a paradigm shift where developers work more like technical product owners, guiding AI agents to produce code while focusing on architecture, design patterns, and overall system quality. This conversation explores not just the tools, but the fundamental changes in how we approach software engineering as a team sport. Defining Vibecoding: More Than Just Autocomplete "I'm specifying the features by prompting, using different kinds of agentic tools. And the agent is producing the code. I will check how it works and glance at the code, but I'm a really technical product owner." Vibecoding represents a spectrum of AI-assisted development approaches. Markus positions himself between pure "vibecoding" (where developers don't look at code at all) and traditional coding. He produces about 90% of his code using AI tools, but maintains technical oversight by reviewing architectural patterns and design decisions. The key difference from traditional autocomplete tools is the shift from deterministic programming languages to non-deterministic natural language prompting, which requires an entirely different way of thinking about software development. The Paradigm Shift: When AI Changed Everything "It's a different paradigm! Looking back, it started with autocomplete where Copilot could implement simple functions. But the real change came with agentic coding tools like Cursor and Claude Code." Markus traces his journey through three distinct phases. First came GitHub Copilot's autocomplete features for simple functions - helpful but limited. Next, ChatGPT enabled discussing architectural problems and getting code suggestions for unfamiliar technologies. The breakthrough arrived with agentic tools like Cursor and Claude Code that can autonomously implement entire features. This progression mirrors the historical shift from assembly to high-level languages, but with a crucial difference: the move from deterministic to non-deterministic communication with machines. Where Vibecoding Works Best: Knowing Your Risks "I move between different levels as I go through different tasks. In areas like CSS styling where I'm not very professional, I trust the AI more. But in core architecture where quality matters most, I look more thoroughly." Vibecoding effectiveness varies dramatically by context. Markus applies different levels of scrutiny based on his expertise and the criticality of the code. For frontend work and styling where he has less expertise, he relies more heavily on AI output and visual verification. For backend architecture and core system components, he maintains closer oversight. This risk-aware approach is essential for startup environments where developers must wear multiple hats. The beauty of this flexibility is that AI enables developers to contribute meaningfully across domains while maintaining appropriate caution in critical areas. Teaching Your Tools: Making AI-Assisted Coding Work "You first teach your tool to do the things you value. Setting system prompts with information about patterns you want, testing approaches you prefer, and integration methods you use." Success with AI-assisted coding requires intentional configuration and practice. Key strategies include: System prompts: Configure tools with your preferred patterns, testing approaches, and architectural decisions Context management: Watch context length carefully; when the AI starts making mistakes, reset the conversation Checkpoint discipline: Commit working code frequently to Git - at least every 30 minutes, ideally after every small working feature Dual AI strategy: Use ChatGPT or Claude for architectural discussions, then bring those ideas to coding tools for implementation Iteration limits: Stop and reassess after roughly 5 failed iterations rather than letting AI continue indefinitely Small steps: Split features into minimal increments and commit each piece separately In this segment we refer to the episode with Alan Cyment on AI Assisted Coding, and the Pachinko coding anti-pattern.  Team Dynamics: Bigger Chunks and Faster Coordination "The speed changes a lot of things. If everything goes well, you can produce so much more stuff. So you have to have bigger tasks. Coordination changes - we need bigger chunks because of how much faster coding is." AI-assisted coding fundamentally reshapes team workflows. The dramatic increase in coding speed means developers need larger, more substantial tasks to maintain flow and maximize productivity. Traditional approaches of splitting stories into tiny tasks become counterproductive when implementation speed increases 5-10x. This shift impacts planning, requiring teams to think in terms of complete features rather than granular technical tasks. The coordination challenge becomes managing handoffs and integration points when individuals can ship significant functionality in hours rather than days. The Non-Deterministic Challenge: A New Grammar "When you're moving from low-level language to higher-level language, they are still deterministic. But now with LLMs, it's not deterministic. This changes how we have to think about coding completely." The shift to natural language prompting introduces fundamental uncertainty absent from traditional programming. Unlike the progression from assembly to C to Python - all deterministic - working with LLMs means accepting probabilistic outputs. This requires developers to adopt new mental models: thinking in terms of guidance rather than precise instructions, maintaining checkpoints for rollback, and developing intuition for when AI is "hallucinating" versus producing valid solutions. Some developers struggle with this loss of control, while others find liberation in focusing on what to build rather than how to build it. Code Reviews and Testing: What Changes? "With AI, I spend more time on the actual product doing exploratory testing. The AI is doing the coding, so I can focus on whether it works as intended rather than syntax and patterns." Traditional code review loses relevance when AI generates syntactically correct, pattern-compliant code. The focus shifts to testing actual functionality and user experience. Markus emphasizes: Manual exploratory testing becomes more important as developers can't rely on having written and understood every line Test discipline is critical - AI can write tests that always pass (assert true), so verification is essential Test-first approach helps ensure tests actually verify behavior rather than just existing Periodic test validation: Randomly modify test outputs to verify they fail when they should Loosening review processes to avoid bottlenecks when code generation accelerates dramatically Anti-Patterns and Pitfalls to Avoid Several common mistakes emerge when developers start with AI-assisted coding: Continuing too long: When AI makes 5+ iterations without progress, stop and reset rather than letting it spiral Skipping commits: Without frequent Git checkpoints, recovery from AI mistakes becomes extremely difficult Over-reliance without verification: Trusting AI-generated tests without confirming they actually test something meaningful Ignoring context limits: Continuing to add context until the AI becomes confused and produces poor results Maintaining traditional task sizes: Splitting work too granularly when AI enables completing larger chunks Forgetting exploration: Reading about tools rather than experimenting hands-on with your own projects The Future: Autonomous Agents and Automatic Testing "I hope that these LLMs will become larger context windows and smarter. Tools like Replit are pushing boundaries - they can potentially do automatic testing and verification for you." Markus sees rapid evolution toward more autonomous development agents. Current trends include: Expanded context windows enabling AI to understand entire codebases without manual context curation Automatic testing generation where AI not only writes code but also creates and runs comprehensive test suites Self-verification loops where agents test their own work and iterate without human intervention Design-to-implementation pipelines where UI mockups directly generate working code Agentic tools that can break down complex features autonomously and implement them incrementally The key insight: we're moving from "AI helps me code" to "AI codes while I guide and verify" - a fundamental shift in the developer's role from implementer to architect and quality assurance. Getting Started: Experiment and Learn by Doing "I haven't found a single resource that covers everything. My recommendation is to try Claude Code or Cursor yourself with your own small projects. You don't know the experience until you try it." Rather than pointing to comprehensive guides (which don't yet exist for this rapidly evolving field), Markus advocates hands-on experimentation. Start with personal projects where stakes are low. Try multiple tools to understand their strengths. Build intuition through practice rather than theory. The field changes so rapidly that reading about tools quickly becomes outdated - but developing the mindset and practices for working with AI assistance provides durable value regardless of which specific tools dominate in the future.

The Way of the Mystic – Session 2: Loosening the Grip of the Five SensesIn this second session of The Way of the Mystic, David Hoffmeister guides us into a profound metaphysical exploration using a beloved animated film as a spiritual mirror. David's commentary invites us to loosen our mind's grip on the five senses and open ourselves to the intuitive guidance of the Holy Spirit. Set against the backdrop of St. Francis Day, David weaves together the radical simplicity of St. Francis's life with the mystical journey of Francis Xu, whose own transformative experience with this film echoes the lesson “I am the Holy Son of God Himself” from A Course in Miracles. The session becomes a portal into the direct experience of divine love. This is not just a movie commentary—it's a call to remember who we truly are beyond time, space, and personality.✨ Let the veil be lifted. Let the light in. Let the mystic within awaken.For more information about The Way of the Mystic, David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://www.the-christ.net/eventsRecorded live online on October 4, 2025, in Mexico.Follow us on:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles: https://livingmiraclescenter.orgLearn more about A Course in Miracles: https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish Youtube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWw

"I'm a guy who needs a lede. I need the lede to work. I need it to be compelling. And it doesn't have to be the best place to begin. It just has to be a place to begin that works and that amuses and sucks you in. I. So once I have a lede, then that will lead to another place," says Nick Paumgarten.Wow, so today we have Nick Paumgarten and can I tell you something? Nick has long been my favorite New Yorker profile writer. Whether it's profiling Mikaela Shiffrin or Mr. Money Mustache, or features about elevators, teaching birds to migrate, the Eagles winning the Super Bowl, or a feature about a sketchy restaurateur; he is appointment reading. I see his name in the table of contents of an issue of The New Yorker and I will stop just about everything I'm doing and spend the next hour or so reading Nick's work. Over the years, he's been the model, for me, as the perfect profile writer.Nick is a long-time New Yorker staff writer. You know, it's funny, since I've never landed a big feature at a big magazine like the New Yorker, I kinda feel like a phony, a fake writer, even though I have two books under my belt. When Nick and I were off mic, he was saying how because he hasn't published a book yet, he feels like a fake writer. This is Nick Paumgarten (!) saying he feels like a phony. It goes to show, none of us feel good about ourselves.In this episode, we talk about: The reporting suggesting the root system of a piece Loosening your grip Stories being like a rip tide Need a lede to work first Befriending chronology And the nerderyI mean, great stuff. I was finally put in touch with Nick by CNF Pod alum Jared Sullivan, the author of the brilliant book Valley So Low, of Ep. 443 fame, and I'm so glad we got to make this happen.Order The Front RunnerNewsletter: Rage Against the AlgorithmWelcome to Pitch ClubShow notes: brendanomeara.com

Welcome to Season 2 of the Orthobullets Podcast.In this episode, we review the high-yield topic of ⁠THA Aseptic Loosening⁠ from the Recon section.Follow ⁠Orthobullets⁠ on Social Media:FacebookInstagramTwitterLinkedInYouTube

“Above all else I want to see things differently.” – A Course in Miracles Workbook⁠⁠⁠, Lesson 28What if the table, the teacup, the tension in your body… all had a divine lesson to reveal?What if shifting your perception—even slightly—was the key to unlocking peace, clarity, and connection?In this episode, we explore Lesson 28 from the A Course in Miracles Workbook⁠⁠⁠ for Students, which invites us to loosen our grip on judgment and see the world through new eyes.We discuss how this practice asks us to step back from automatic meaning-making and open to a higher truth—one that blesses instead of burdens, heals instead of harms.If you've been stuck in the same old story, reacting from fear, or just feeling disconnected from the sacred in everyday life—this episode is for you.Key Insights from Lesson 28✨ True vision begins with surrender: This lesson isn't about fixing or improving what you see—it's about releasing your grip on meaning altogether. When you stop insisting you already know, you make space for divine truth to reveal itself.✨ Every object is a doorway to the Divine: Nothing is too ordinary or insignificant to carry a message from Spirit. Even a table can become your teacher—if you're willing to pause, look again, and let it reveal its purpose.✨ The world changes when your mind does: This is the heart of a Course in Miracles. When you shift your perception, the world reflects that shift. Old triggers soften. New possibilities appear. And life becomes sacred again.Reflection QuestionsWhat's something I've been quick to judge or define lately?What might I see if I loosened my grip on “knowing” and opened to something new?Where in my life do I want to see differently—to break free of old beliefs and find new light?COMING UP IN APRIL⁠⁠Body Freedom Training⁠⁠CONNECT WITH JESSICA FLINT⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ORACLE DECKS USED⁠⁠⁠⁠Tea Leaf Fortune Cards⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Animal Spirit Deck⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Rose Oracle Deck
