So many of us are walking around tired — not just physically, but soul-tired. Tired of striving. Tired of proving. Tired of carrying versions of ourselves that were never meant to be permanent. In this episode, I invite you into a gentle and sacred conversation about true identity, surrender, and becoming who God created you to be. Using the beautiful story of Michelangelo carving the angel from marble and the timeless parable of the two wolves within us, this episode explores: ✨ Why you are not broken — you are being revealed ✨ The difference between your protective self and your true self ✨ How what you “feed” in your mind and heart shapes who you become ✨ Why becoming often looks like letting go ✨ What it means to stop striving and start trusting ✨ How to live from peace, love, and truth instead of fear and performance This episode is a reminder that you don't need to create yourself — you need to uncover yourself. The masterpiece is already within you. The angel is already in the marble. And God is gently, lovingly at work — setting you free.
In this solo episode, we talk about what is REALLY standing between you and your dreams, and how to remove the obstacles. If you've been circling around the same goal for months (or years), telling yourself you'll begin "when you're less busy, when you're ready, or when you feel more confident about it," this conversation will hit home. Using the metaphor of a solid block of marble, Kate shares eight common beliefs that disguise the real obstacles—fear, overthinking, avoidance, perfectionism, friction, clutter, and outdated identity patterns. You'll learn: Why your dream doesn't require more time—but does require removing what's in the way How negative self-talk, uncertainty, and "busy brain" tasks masquerade as lack of motivation What Stoicism, hurricanes, and 75 Hard taught Kate about imperfect conditions The difference between rocking-chair tasks and true needle movers Why readiness, motivation, and discipline only show up after you begin How accountability, support, and reframing can help you start chiseling away Whether your goal is to write a book, launch a project, shift careers, or simply feel less overwhelmed, this episode will help you chip away at the noise and find the sculpture underneath.

Thursday, 25 December 2025 So Jesus said, “Are you also still without understanding? Matthew 15:16 “And Jesus, He said, ‘And yet, you, you are unintelligent!'” (CG). In the previous verse, Peter came to Jesus and said, “You expound to us this parable.” With that, Matthew records, “And Jesus, He said.” Jesus' response is not a question. Rather, it will be a statement. He has been instructing them on matters, and they have been unable to put His words into intelligent meaning in their minds. Therefore, what He says is an emphatic declaration. It is also in the plural. He is speaking to all of the disciples, “And yet, you, you are unintelligent!” There are two new words. The first one, akmén, means “a point.” The idea is that it refers to a point in time. If one were to coin a new word to suit the literal meaning while conveying the intent, the word “pointly” would get the point across. Someone should consider coining it in this context. For now, the adverb “yet” is sufficient. The point in time is reached, and yet, there is something that is awry. That leads to the next new word, the adjective asunetos, unintelligent. It comes from a, the particle of negation, and sunetos, to mentally put together, and thus sagacious. HELPS Word Studies says, “foolish because incoherent (failing to ‘put facts together').” Also, “a person failing to structure information in a meaningful way, and therefore unable to reach necessary conclusions.” The word is often translated as “without understanding.” A single word that exactingly describes the person is “unintelligent.” Jesus isn't asking them if they are yet without understanding. He is affirming that they are, as yet, unintelligent. They have heard His words, and they have not learned to come to proper conclusions concerning what He is saying. This will continue even till the time of His crucifixion. Life application: It may seem harsh for Jesus to say to His disciples so directly that they are foolish or unintelligent, but it is not at all uncommon in Scripture. Such words are used throughout the Old Testament when referring to the people of Israel – “When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off; The women come and set them on fire. For it is a people of no understanding; Therefore He who made them will not have mercy on them, And He who formed them will show them no favor.” Isaiah 27:11 Such examples are common. The Lord rebukes the people for their lack of heeding Him, attending to His words, etc. In our modern society, it is considered offensive to say directly to people that they are foolish, unwise, unintelligent, and so forth. But to coddle people unwilling to engage their brains will lead to a generation of people who truly are unintelligent. If we remain in a slumber, without rebuke for our unwillingness to learn, there is no incentive to strive for better. When everyone on a team gets the same award, there is no reason for anyone to strive to be the best. The Bible unashamedly says otherwise – “Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.” 1 Corinthians 9:24 In fact, striving for what is right is so important that Jesus instructs those of Israel to do so with the thought of eternal consequences for not doing so – “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able.” Matthew 13:24 When we approach matters of life, we should take time, demonstrating patient perseverance and wholehearted dedication to the task at hand. Marble will not tolerate an impatient and impulsive sculptor. Rather, the one who is wise with the hammer and chisel will slowly and methodically pay attention to the task set before him, mentally shutting out what will distract him. If this is so for worldly things, how much more dedicated and patient should we be in our pursuit of God and of obtaining right understanding in His word? Are we so foolish as to strive for the best in polishing our car but neglect the eternal rewards there are for seeking God as He intends for us? Jesus pointedly said to His disciples, “And yet, you, you are unintelligent!” Is He speaking the same to us today? Or is He pleased with our pursuit of who He is, as we attend carefully to His words? Let us receive a word of commendation from Him as we rise each day to consider Him and reflect on His majesty. Lord God, thank You for the rebukes of life that spur us on to greater achievements. Yes, words of chastisement can be painful at the time, but we know that they are normally working for something better in us if we just pay heed. May we learn the lessons from them and strive to excel as we seek You in Your superior word. Amen.

The Inauguration and the New England Tour — Nathaniel Philbrick — Philbrick recounts Washington'sinauguration ceremony, noting his emotional collapse immediately following the ritual, which revealed him not as an impassive "marble man" but as a human profoundly terrified of the political road ahead. Philbrick draws historical parallels between this psychological moment and a near-fatal fall experienced by artist N.C. Wyeth. Washingtonsubsequently undertook a systematic tour of New England to unify the fractured nation, deliberately balancing his role as a man of the people—staying in public taverns among ordinary citizens—with the constitutional dignity of his new office. Philbrick highlights oral traditions documenting Washington gently reminding awestruck observers that he was merely "only a man" despite his historical prominence. 1840

Born in Rome, but now living in Versilia, Giannelli is probably best known for his giant sculpture, Mr Arbitrium, over five metres tall, which appears to be either pushing away or supporting the buildings it stands against - depending on the viewers' point of view. Questa ambiguità trasforma noi spettatori in protagonisti, mettendo in discussione le nostre convinzioni sul significato di queste strutture e sul nostro legame con esse. Diverse versioni di Mr Arbitrium sono state installate su edifici e chiese a Milano, Firenze, Lucca, Servezza, Carrara, Pietrasanta e persino in Ucraina.This ambiguity turns us as viewers into the protagonists, challenging our beliefs about the meaning of these structures and our connection to them. Versions of Mister Arbitrium have been installed against buildings and churches in Milan, Florence, Lucca, Servezza, Carrara, Pietrasanta and even Ukraine.Giannelli accoglie Mike sul prato della tenuta di famiglia, dove la sua serie di sculture in bronzo I Sospesi è appesa agli alberi e un simpatico labrador nero giace sull'erba. Giannelli welcomes Mike on the lawn of the family estate, where his series of bronze sculptures I Sospesi hang from the trees, and a friendly black labrador lies on the grass. Emanuele è arrivato a Carrara a diciannove anni per studiare scultura all'Accademia di Belle Arti di Carrara, stabilendosi qui in Versilia, dove la sua famiglia aveva vissuto nelle generazioni precedenti. All'Accademia ha scelto di lavorare l'argilla piuttosto che il marmo, per la flessibilità che offre e per la natura più concettuale del suo lavoro. Emanuele came to Carrara at nineteen to study sculpture at the Carrara Academy of Fine Arts, settling here in Versilia, where his family had lived in previous generations. At the Academy he chose to work in clay rather than marble, due to the flexibility it offers and the nature of his work being more conceptual.Giannelli racconta a Mike di come, in gioventù, abbia trascorso del tempo a New York, Londra e Berlino, subendo l'influenza della fantascienza, del cinema, dei graffiti, della musica elettronica e del punk rock. Alla fine è tornato a Pietrasanta, luogo più adatto per crescere una famiglia.Giannelli tells Mike how in his youth he spent time in New York, London and Berlin and was influenced by science fiction, cinema, graffiti, electronic music, and punk rock. Eventually he returned to Pietrasanta which was more conducive to raising a family.Ricorda la gioia di incontrare artigiani e visitare i laboratori che allora si trovavano nel centro di Pietrasanta. E gli piacevano anche le feste e la vita sociale con tanti giovani, soprattutto stranieri, tedeschi, francesi e americani.He recalls the joy of meeting artisans and visiting the workshops which were then in the centre of Pietrasanta. And he also enjoyed the parties and social life with lots of young people, especially foreigners, Germans, French, and Americans.The Watcher è una scultura che osserva il cielo con binocoli, cosa che gli esseri umani hanno sempre fatto. Tuttavia, ora, grazie alla tecnologia, sta cercando di guardare oltre. Emanuele afferma che “oltre” gli fa pensare anche alla spiritualità. The Watcher is a sculpture who looks up with binoculars at the sky, which is something humans have always done. However now, through technology, he is trying to look beyond. Emanuele says that ‘beyond' also makes him think of spirituality.Un'altra opera che cita con un tema visionario è Korf, un uomo che sta in piedi davanti al suo monitor, con le braccia incrociate, lo sguardo rivolto verso l'alto, alla ricerca della sua visione e del suo futuro.Another work he mentions with a visionary theme is Korf, a man who stands watching on his monitor, arms crossed, gaze turned upwards, searching for his vision and his future.Emanuele afferma che, pur non credendo in un codice chiamato religione, crede molto negli esseri umani. Dice che, sebbene siamo animali e abbiamo un senso di autodistruzione, siamo animali straordinari. Le sue opere si collocano tra il figurativo e il concettuale, riflettendo sul periodo contemporaneo caratterizzato da cambiamenti incredibilmente rapidi. Emanuele says although he doesn't believe in a code called religion, he believes very much in human beings. He says that although we are animals, and have a sense of self-destruction, we are extraordinary animals. His works are pitched between figurative and conceptual, reflecting on the contemporary period of incredibly fast-moving change.emanuelegiannelli.itinstagram.com/emanuele.giannelli

Fei-Fei Li and Justin Johnson are cofounders of World Labs, who have recently launched Marble (https://marble.worldlabs.ai/), a new kind of generative “world model” that can create editable 3D environments from text, images, and other spatial inputs. Marble lets creators generate persistent 3D worlds, precisely control cameras, and interactively edit scenes, making it a powerful tool for games, film, VR, robotics simulation, and more. In this episode, Fei-Fei and Justin share how their journey from ImageNet and Stanford research led to World Labs, why spatial intelligence is the next frontier after LLMs, and how world models could change how machines see, understand, and build in 3D. We discuss: The massive compute scaling from AlexNet to today and why world models and spatial data are the most compelling way to “soak up” modern GPU clusters compared to language alone. What Marble actually is: a generative model of 3D worlds that turns text and images into editable scenes using Gaussian splats, supports precise camera control and recording, and runs interactively on phones, laptops, and VR headsets. Fei-fei's essay (https://drfeifei.substack.com/p/from-words-to-worlds-spatial-intelligence) on spatial intelligence as a distinct form of intelligence from language: from picking up a mug to inferring the 3D structure of DNA, and why language is a lossy, low-bandwidth channel for describing the rich 3D/4D world we live in. Whether current models “understand” physics or just fit patterns: the gap between predicting orbits and discovering F=ma, and how attaching physical properties to splats and distilling physics engines into neural networks could lead to genuine causal reasoning. The changing role of academia in AI, why Fei-Fei worries more about under-resourced universities than “open vs closed,” and how initiatives like national AI compute clouds and open benchmarks can rebalance the ecosystem. Why transformers are fundamentally set models, not sequence models, and how that perspective opens up new architectures for world models, especially as hardware shifts from single GPUs to massive distributed clusters. Real use cases for Marble today: previsualization and VFX, game environments, virtual production, interior and architectural design (including kitchen remodels), and generating synthetic simulation worlds for training embodied agents and robots. How spatial intelligence and language intelligence will work together in multimodal systems, and why the goal isn't to throw away LLMs but to complement them with rich, embodied models of the world. Fei-Fei and Justin's long-term vision for spatial intelligence: from creative tools for artists and game devs to broader applications in science, medicine, and real-world decision-making. — Fei-Fei Li X: https://x.com/drfeifei LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fei-fei-li-4541247 Justin Johnson X: https://x.com/jcjohnss LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justin-johnson-41b43664 Where to find Latent Space X: https://x.com/latentspacepod Substack: https://www.latent.space/ Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction and the Fei-Fei Li & Justin Johnson Partnership 00:02:00 From ImageNet to World Models: The Evolution of Computer Vision 00:12:42 Dense Captioning and Early Vision-Language Work 00:19:57 Spatial Intelligence: Beyond Language Models 00:28:46 Introducing Marble: World Labs' First Spatial Intelligence Model 00:33:21 Gaussian Splats and the Technical Architecture of Marble 00:22:10 Physics, Dynamics, and the Future of World Models 00:41:09 Multimodality and the Interplay of Language and Space 00:37:37 Use Cases: From Creative Industries to Robotics and Embodied AI 00:56:58 Hiring, Research Directions, and the Future of World Labs
