Podcasts about Measure

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 13, 2025 is: consummate • KAHN-suh-mut • adjective Someone or something described as consummate is very skilled or accomplished. Consummate can also mean “of the highest degree” and “complete in every detail.” The adjective is always used before the noun it describes. // Ever the consummate professional, the planner ensured that no one attending the event was aware of all the elements that had not gone as planned. See the entry > Examples: “... KEM's legacy serves as a blueprint for excellence. Offstage, his charm extends beyond the microphone. Friends and collaborators describe him as a consummate gentleman and leader with an infectious sense of humor.” — Raquelle Harris, Vibe, 25 July 2025 Did you know? Consummate is a consummate example of a word that's shifted in meaning over the centuries. A 15th century addition to the language ultimately from Latin consummare, meaning “to sum up, finish,” the word first described something that has been brought to completion. Shakespeare used the word this way in Measure for Measure: “Do you the office, friar; which consummate, Return him here again.” By the early 16th century consummate had taken on the meaning of “complete in every detail.” Today it usually describes someone or something extremely skilled and accomplished, but it can also describe that which is supremely excellent, as well as that which is simply extreme.

High-achieving and still 30% happy at work? In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, career coach and therapist Rachel Spekman unpacks why smart professionals stay in roles they secretly hate—status, salary, identity—and how to exit without chaos. We cover permission to want more, navigating identity shifts, handling judgment, and practical, income-safe pivots (including fractional work). Direct, actionable, SEO-friendly guidance for YouTube/Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn audiences who want purpose, alignment, and sustainable earnings—without burning their careers to the ground. Guest: Rachel Spekman. About the guest   Rachel Spekman is a career coach and licensed therapist specializing in identity transformations and vocational alignment. After 15 years in brand marketing, 10 years with startups, and 5 years as a therapist, she helps professionals move from soul-sucking roles into work that matches values, strengths, and desired income. Key takeaways Start with permission: ask, “Am I allowed to want something different?” Then imagine alternatives before acting. Define “achievement” for yourself—not for LinkedIn, bosses, or family. Success must map to your values. Expect value shifts: life events (loss, mental health, family) change what “fits.” A once-great job can become misaligned. Measure reality: honestly rate your work happiness out of 100. If you're at ~30%, plan a directional change. Aim for 80% satisfaction by moving 1–2% at a time; small, consistent improvements compound. Choose your problems: invest your “three Ts” (time, talent, treasure) where you want to solve challenges. Identity work matters: manage the ego when titles change; treat everyone with integrity—today's intern can be tomorrow's boss. Build safe bridges: don't jump without a plan. Most realignments take 6–12 months with clear milestones. Consider fractional work: package your expertise for multiple clients to increase autonomy and earnings. Realignment isn't always promotion; a “lateral” or even “demotion” can be a values-aligned win.

Chad Eudy is a passionate advocate for servant leadership with over 30 years of experience at FHI. Rising through the ranks from Handler to Senior Regional Manager, and now serving as VP of Leadership Development, Chad founded Leadership Laces, an FHI company dedicated to crafting leadership development programs that drive measurable team growth.Chad previously held corporate roles as Director and SVP of HR and Leadership Development. A proud US Navy veteran, he embodies service, commitment, and impact—both in business and through global mission work. He's dedicated to helping leaders live out their purpose, lead with love, and transform their teams from the inside out.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling from the Heart, Chad Eudy shares how his Navy service, family legacy, and corporate leadership journey have shaped his philosophy around servant leadership. From frontline roles to the executive boardroom, Chad illustrates how leading with purpose, aligning your passion, and showing up with authenticity leads to powerful, lasting influence.He, Larry, and Darrell explore how sales professionals can elevate performance by focusing on impact over outcomes. The conversation touches on virtual assistants, the importance of living your "why," and how to measure the real success of leadership—not just by dollars, but by lives changed. KEY TAKEAWAYSServant leadership aligns passion and purpose to create meaningful impact.Sales success follows when your motive is to make a difference, not just a deal.Your personal values should drive who you serve and how you sell.Service-first sales builds trust and emotional connection with clients.Sales is more effective when focused on long-term relationships over short-term wins.Virtual assistants can help free time to focus on serving more deeply.Measure success by engagement and lives touched, not just transactions.Detach from outcomes; attach to people.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESWhen your purpose and your passion align, it accelerates your potential to prosper.Are you more into making a dollar or are you more into making a difference?You have to define your why before you identify your who.Touch a heart before you ask for a hand.

Most GTM teamstoday are missing targets because they're simply measuring the wrong things. In this episode, Carolyn and Amber unpack why attribution is a mirage (it only shows the lucky 2% that become opportunities) and why the MQL hamster wheel keeps smart teams stuck optimizing a tiny slice of reality. We dig into the pre-pipeline “factory floor,” show how to expose the messy middle, and explain why “more volume” isn't a strategy—it's a cash leak.You'll hear concrete ways to replace vanity conversion stats with a causal view of attempts → connects → meetings → opps → DQs (with reasons), what to do about pipeline shock when you tighten scoring, and why pipeline needs a single owner (hint: not “marketing-sourced”). We also talk about modular change vs. big-bang transformations, and where attribution actually belongs (as seasoning, not the main ingredient), dig into where attribution actually belongs in GTM measurement (spoiler: it's seasoning, not the protein), and explain why modular change beats waiting for a full-scale transformation.What You'll Learn:Attribution ≠ answers: It validates the 2-5% that convert and hides the waste in the 98%.Kill the MQL hamster wheel: Measure the journey, not just MQL→SQL%.Instrument the factory floor: Person-level steps that predict pipeline (and the drop-offs to fix).Volume lies: “Do more dials” is a 2012 play—engineer repeatable patterns instead.Pipeline shock is healthy: Fewer junk opps → higher win rate and better CAC.One owner for pipeline: Align Sales + Marketing on quality pipeline, not credit.When to use attribution: After you fix data hygiene and pre-pipeline tracking.If your dashboards keep telling you to “get more leads” or “add more dials,” you're staring at the pipeline mirage. Break free from the hamster wheel, shine a light on the messy middle, and finally see what's really driving, or draining, your revenue.This episode is powered by Passetto, a GTM advisory and software company with a solution that eliminates the Pipeline Black Box™, the critical data hidden inside every GTM engine where leaders are flying blind when it matters most.

Podcast favorite Dr. Amelia Kelley is back on the show! Today we're unpacking something I know will resonate with so many of you: our trauma responses. Fight, flight, freeze, or fawn… we all have them. But what if instead of shaming ourselves for these responses, we learned to use them for our benefit? Amelia and I get into what each response actually looks like day-to-day, why they happen so quickly in the body, and how to bring more consciousness when they show up. We also explore ways to reframe them so they can become tools that work in your favor: turning fight into advocacy, flight into creativity, freeze into stillness, and fawn into compassion and service. ✨ Podcast episodes are available in two formats - audio and video! If you'd like to watch the video version of this episode, you can find it here.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Deonna Kay, author of the book The Measure of Enough. Deonna Kay is a native Texan. She is the proud mom of a young adult daughter, an over-sized dog, and the fuzziest cat you've ever seen. Her passion for writing began as a child and has carried over into her adult life. She tutors youth in writing and works as a contract reader and editor, providing feedback to other budding writers. She is also a business owner in the world of finance and loves to travel, particularly to Walt Disney World. THE MEASURE OF ENOUGH is her debut, and she's excited to share it with the world.   In my book review, I stated The Measure of Enough is part women's fiction and part psychological thriller. This makes The Measure of Enough a perfect read for those who love strong character development but like twists and turns.   We meet Kacee who runs her own non-profit to help abused women after leaving her hometown full of broken promises, unfulfilled dreams, and an image she can't shake. Although confident at work, she is an emotional wreck on the inside. We soon learn she must use pills and alcohol to make it through her days and her nightmare filled nights.   What's the worst thing that can happen to Kacee? She is called home where she will have to face her mother and her best friend - two people she hasn't spoken to in years. And then there's the matter of her estranged father as well. Add to this the gray truck the seems to follow her everywhere, a home invasion, and cryptic messages telling her to back off.   What does it all mean? And will getting to the bottom of it help Kacee move forward in life - or embroil her further in emotions she doesn't want to face?   This is a great story that deals with mental health issues, abuse (both sexual and physical), addiction, and eating disorders. It is a definite must-read.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Deonna Kay Website: https://deonnakay.com/ FB: @deonnakayauthor IG: @deonnakaybooks   Purchase The Measure of Enough on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4lXxAUf Ebook: https://amzn.to/41FRNXw   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

How do you measure a Web3 community?

The idea of carbon footprint dates back to the early 2000s and ironically was introduced by oil giant BP. But recently, a new concept was created: the climate change shadow. It's a relatively recent addition to the ever growing list of terms relating to climate change. American writer Emma Pattee introduced the idea of the climate shadow in a blog post for Mic.com in December 2021, as a more comprehensive metric for each person's impact on the climate crisis.  What exactly contributes to my climate shadow? Isn't that very similar to a carbon footprint? How useful is the concept of a climate shadow? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

As a consultant and coach, Lorraine Armijos, founder of LAR Insights, has observed many leaders struggle to respond when she asks how they measure success.The first response, she says, “is just a blank stare.” Some leaders gauge success entirely on revenue numbers. And finally, many leaders give a “laundry list of things.”“It's really important to start with what problem you're trying to solve,” says Lorraine. “From there on, start creating that alignment through each layer” of the organization.In this conversation with Daniel and Peter, Lorraine discusses the elements of leadership success and offers practical advice on how to focus on, collect, and measure the right data.Tune in to learn:The three intangible measures of leadership successThe slightly unconventional advice Lorraine offers for collecting dataThe one thing all leaders should remember when deciding where to focus their effortsUltimately, says Lorraine, leaders need to focus on the things that are within their control. “At every level of the organization, you will have a different level of control,” she says. “Make sure you are focusing on that, because otherwise, it'll just be frustrating for you.”Questions, comments, or topic ideas?

This is Part 4 of Steve Coughran's book Cash Flow. Steve breaks down the two main ways businesses are valued: the income approach, based on free cash flow, cost of capital, and growth, and the market approach, based on EBITDA multiples. He explains why understanding both is critical, how multiples impact valuation, and what really drives the worth of your company.LinkedIn | YouTube coltivar.com

Touch the same piece of information more than twice – fix the workflow. That's the kind of CFO-meets-COO thinking we get into in this episode of The Handbook, where Harv sits down with Lindsey Head to connect the dots between finance, ops, tech, and people – and what really changes when you standardise how the business runs. Lindsey helped scale a PR agency from 5 to 125 people and $750k to $25m in revenue, leading finance, ops, HR, tech, legal and M&A along the way – so she's seen where the cracks form, and how to close them.Here's what we dive into:• The case for “non-billable” hires early – why dedicated new-business and ops roles pay for themselves, and a simple admin-as-%-of-revenue rule of thumb (aim for ~7–8%).• Systems thinking > shiny tools – map the ideal information flow first, then pick tech to automate it. If you're touching the same data repeatedly, the process is broken.• Change management that actually works – phase rollouts, involve users early, test, train, and measure adoption before you “go live.”• Multi-entity without the migraines – standardise what you can across entities, respect local nuance (currency, tax, PTO), and use partners/EORs when expanding fast.• Run the business by the numbers – utilisation, gross margin by client, and labour % tell the truth; AI can accelerate FP&A and reporting, but you still sanity-check the outputs.If you're feeling buried under tools, processes, and hiring questions, Lindsey's final nudge is simple: pause, map “how it's going” vs “how it should go,” and focus this quarter on the single change that unlocks the most leverage.Additional Resources: 

Drew Allen, CEO of Grace Technologies, shares real stories from the floor, the ideas shaping safer plants, and why culture matters more than slogans. Drew's background stretches from a family line linked to Samuel Morse to teenage years in China to global business development at 3M. That range shows up in how he leads. He listens, he moves fast, and he expects teams to work on things that matter. In his world that means saving electricians from shocks and arc flash while helping manufacturers modernize without losing their soul. Grace started with mechanical and analog products, then took the hard road into fully digital systems. The shift took time and patience. Today their platform brings sensors, AI, and cloud tooling into maintenance and safety. The example that stuck with me is a proximity band for electricians. It lights, beeps, and vibrates as a worker approaches live voltage. At TriCity, that band prevented three near misses in a three month pilot. A fourth incident still ended in a hospital visit and a costly outage because the worker left the band in his car. Another apprentice nearly placed a hand on a live bus bar until the band told him something was wrong. These moments remind you that technology can change a day and a life. Drew's take on culture is refreshingly direct. Values are not a poster. They are a filter for who you hire. He looks for customer obsession, ownership, curiosity, and candid communication. Then he pairs that with high expectations and real care. Autonomy comes with accountability. Impact matters. If someone does not want to work on meaningful problems, this is not their place. It sounds firm. It also explains why the company keeps earning top workplace recognition while raising the bar on performance. We also talked about Maple Studios, the startup incubator Drew launched in Davenport, Iowa. He sees gaps in the industrial ecosystem. Fewer big exits. Slow adoption cycles. Founders stuck inside large companies. Maple gives them tools, space, and hard feedback so they can iterate faster and build things factories will actually deploy. His advice is simple. Ship, learn, and repeat. Do customer reviews early. Expect a thousand small gotchas. Move through them rather than pretending they will not appear. Looking ahead, Drew expects robotics to accelerate for a very practical reason. Companies cannot find enough people. Dangerous work will be automated. He imagines maintenance tasks shifting toward humanoid robots, with machines designed so robotic agents can service them. He also references GM's self healing language to point at a coming blend of sensing, prediction, and automated repair.  On AI, he shares Satya Nadella's challenge. Measure productivity and GDP impact rather than hype. The promise is there. The scoreboard will tell the story. If you work in industrial tech, this conversation lands close to home. You will hear how to bring digital tools into legacy environments, how to design for safety from the start, and how to keep teams motivated without losing kindness. You will also catch an open invitation. Drew wants to partner with builders who care about this space. If that is you, reach out to him on LinkedIn or visit graceport.com. And if you are curious about the band that vibrates before a bad day begins, this episode is a good place to start. ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job  in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA

Barcelona Principles 2025: What PR Pros Need to Measure Now (Episode 310) Episode Summary In episode 310 of That Solo Life, hosts Karen Swim, APR, and Michelle Kane break down the latest update to the Barcelona Principles and what it means for independent PR and communications pros. They cover the shift toward outcomes that matter to the C-suite, the stronger alignment with AMEC's Integrated Evaluation Framework, the role of qualitative and quantitative data, and why leveling up in measurement and AI will separate thriving practitioners from the rest. You'll walk away with practical next steps, resources, and a nudge to price your expertise for the true value you deliver. Keywords: Barcelona Principles 2025, AMEC framework, PR measurement, qualitative and quantitative metrics, AI in PR, PR outcomes, stakeholder sentiment, media relations, solo PR pricing, communications strategy. Episode Highlights 00:00 – 00:24 | Welcome back to That Solo Life 01:39 – 02:41 | What's new in the Barcelona Principles (2025 update + AMEC alignment) 02:49 – 03:05 | AVEs aren't it: Why outcomes beat output every time 03:28 – 04:24 | The business case: Tie PR to revenue, cost reduction, and executive priorities 05:01 – 05:23 | Quant + qual: Why both matter for effective evaluation 05:36 – 06:11 | From “audience” to “stakeholders”: Measuring sentiment and behavior change 06:12 – 07:11 | Stop fearing data: You already synthesize information—now measure it 07:01 – 07:11 | Two skills that will set pros apart: Measurement and AI 08:01 – 09:24 | Using AMEC's resources to build a measurement-first practice 11:02 – 12:26 | Measure your time and value: Why low-fee retainers undermine real PR work 12:37 – 13:01 | Plan → act → measure: Strategy comes first 13:16 – 14:07 | Career fuel: Leveling up skills can reignite your passion for the work 14:09 – 14:30 | Parting encouragement and next steps Highlights and takeaways: The Barcelona Principles update emphasizes business outcomes, not vanity metrics. Tie PR to revenue, cost of sales, risk mitigation, and reputation impact. Blend quantitative data (traffic, conversions, assisted revenue) with qualitative insights (sentiment, message pull-through). Use AMEC's Integrated Evaluation Framework to plan from objectives to outcomes. Price for the strategic and labor-intensive nature of PR—measurement begins at planning.

Last year, Oregon ended its three-year experiment with drug decriminalization known as Measure 110. This came when Oregon lawmakers passed House Bill 4002 to implement new criminal penalties for drug possession and fund efforts at the county level to deflect drug users away from the criminal justice system and into treatment as a way to avoid charges. Those deflection programs look different in every county across the state. It has now been a year since that program began in Washington County.

They unpack how wellness is traditionally defined (think: sleep, nutrition, exercise), and why function—particularly functional movement—needs to be part of the equation.From pre-diabetes in adolescents to movement dysfunction in military populations, this candid discussion explores the role of risk factors, behavioral health, and how cultural shifts must happen if we want to make a lasting impact.Why wellness must be functionalHow pain and movement drive deeper health issuesWhy measuring what's missing matters mostWhat 10,000+ wellness screens have revealedCurious what your wellness score is?

Nigel Thurlow previously served as the first-ever Chief of Agile at Toyota, where he created the World Agility Forum award-winning “Scrum the Toyota Way” and co-created The Flow System™, a holistic FLOW-based approach to delivering customer-first value built on a foundation of The Toyota Production System.Throughout his career, Thurlow has gained an enviable recognition as a leading expert in Lean and Agile methods, tools, techniques, and approaches. He specializes in developing effective organizational designs and operating models for organizations to embrace both Lean and Agile concepts. By leveraging knowledge from various sources, Thurlow helps optimize organizations to enact successful, long-lasting transformational strategies in applying Lean thinking, Agile techniques, and Scrum – while combining complexity thinking, distributive leadership, and team science, represented by a triple helix structure known as the DNA of Organizations™.As of 2024, he has trained over 8,500 people worldwide in Scrum, Agile, Lean, Flow, Complexity, and organizational design. Thurlow is a Professional Scrum Trainer (PST).An instinctive problem solver, Nigel Thurlow takes a method-agnostic, cross-industry approach in helping organizations find the right tools, methods, and approaches to overcome challenges within their contextual situation. He advocates for the fact that there is not a one-size-fits-all prescriptive approach to agility; all tools have utility, but they also have contextual limitations. From this vantage point, Thurlow equips an organization's people to become an army of problem solvers, expanding their perception of what they do so they can better understand and prepare for potential challenges along the way.Thurlow is currently the Chief Executive Officer at The Flow Consortium, a collection of highly regarded companies in the Lean and Agile world — as well as the scientific and academic communities at large. The Flow Consortium strives to expand the boundaries of current Lean and Agile thinking through the understanding of complexity thinking, distributed leadership, and team science by tapping into the minds of top thought leaders from these concentrations.While at Toyota, Thurlow worked to frame Scrum as more than just a standardized behavioral process by applying and advancing fundamental methodologies to spur innovative, forward-thinking solutions to Toyota's most complex challenges. He also founded the Toyota Agile Academy in 2018. These efforts signaled a transformative phase for Toyota, leading the company towards organizational agility and helping its team members better understand this concept in an automotive production context.Additionally, Thurlow has been a board presence at the University of North Texas since 2019, serving as an advisor to the Department of Information Science Board and a member of the College of Information Leadership Board. He has also served as the President of CDQ LLC since 2012. Prior to that, Thurlow held executive coaching and training roles for companies including Vodafone, Lumen Technologies, Scrum, Inc., GE Power & Water, 3M Healthcare Information Systems, Bose Corporation, The TJX Companies, Inc. – as well as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. He has also taught Scrum at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).As an author, Thurlow was named a Forbes top 10 author for co-authoring the book “The Flow System™” in 2020. He has recently co-authored “The Flow System Playbook” published in 2023 which presents a practical study guide and reference book to all the concepts covered in the first book.His other notable publications include “Introducing the Flow System (2019)” and “TPS and the Age of Destruction (2019).” He is also the co-author of The Flow Guide and The Flow System Principles and Key Attributes Guidebook. Recently, Thurlow co-authored “The...

Welcome back to Small Business School! It's just you and me today! I'm unpacking the mindset shifts and practical tactics I shared during a recent Coach's Corner —aka the exact money guidance I'd give if we only had a few minutes together. We'll talk about expanding what you believe is possible, measuring what actually matters, and making grounded decisions that move your business forward (without the all-or-nothing gambles).Key topics covered:Money is a mindset: expand your belief by getting in rooms with people a few steps (then a few more) ahead; invest sustainably, not from desperation.Coaching with discernment: tools and mentors can be powerful—just avoid high-ticket “last dollar” decisions; grow through steady rewiring, not quick fixes.Measure before you judge: keep bookkeeping current, set deadlines for reports, and use the data (not your gut) to spot leaks and wins.Adopt a growth lens: add “yet” to your self-talk (“I'm not good at this… yet”) and remember—finance is the part of business you can't ignore.Core money mechanics: know your burn rate/runway/breakeven, manage the three profit pillars (revenue, cost of sales, overhead), protect cash, and demand ROI from every spend.Tune in and give yourself the gift of clarity—one grounded decision at a time.Mentioned in this episode: If you are running a business in Canada and you need help with all the things accounting related, but more importantly understanding the numbers I invite you to check out https://thriveaccounting.co/Staci's Links:Instagram.

Most shop owners put more energy into planning their vacations than they do into planning their business. That's why so many end up stuck in reaction mode—constantly stressed, constantly chasing, and constantly behind. In this episode of Just ONE Thing, Rick White lays out a no-fluff, three-step framework to change that for good: ✅ Dream – Set the destination. Stop letting your current situation or past define where you can go. ✅ Measure – Track what matters most: sales daily, gross profit weekly, net profit monthly. ✅ Do – Take daily action where the rubber meets the road. A plan is nothing more than a dream with legs. Stop winging it. Start building a business you're proud of—one that supports your family, your team, and your future.

On the podcast I talk with Eric about how measurement dysfunction paralyzes growth, why diversifying channels for the sake of diversification actually hurts performance, and the futility of trying to interpret why ads win.Top Takeaways:

Double Tap Episode 425 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Swampfox Optics, Medical Gear Outfitters, RMA Defense, XTech Tactical, Bowers Group, Blue Alpha, and Matador Arms   Welcome to Double Tap, episode 425! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! pew.deals - Dear WLS plowguydave - So I have a Browning X Bolt in .300wm. I had it threaded a few years ago but since the barrel profile is so thin, it's threaded 1/2x28. Most 30 cal cans are threaded 5/8x24 so I'd have to run a thread adapter for a can. Would you a) use a thread adapter and affix it in a permanent/semi-permanent fashion, b) purchase a 30 cal can able to accept a 1/2x28 thread pattern, or c) get an aftermarket barrel with a heavier profile that is cut for 5/8x24? Use case is long range plinking and hunting. Barrel length is 24" if that matters. If it doesn't, then fuck me I guess.  Kermit Thee Frog - "I'm looking at upgrading the scope on my 6.5 Grendel that I primarily used for blacktail hunting, but i'm recently getting into more mid and long range shooting at 300-1100 yards so far with it and thinking about trying out the Swampfox Warhawk 3-15. C_DOES on YouTube did a really good review of the 2-10 variant but I haven't been able to find much information on the 3-15. I'm concerned that the glass quality may be good enough for 10x but falls apart when pushed to 15x. Have any of you had any hands on experience with this optic and what are your thoughts on it? I'm also looking at the Athlon Ares BTR gen 3 but leaning more towards the Swampfox because of the price and it has locking turrets. Thanks gents." Jack B - As I'm sure you guys are aware, the Earth's magnetic poles are about to shift and it will cause cataclysmic floods and tectonic shifts. Most experts expect the landmasses to liquefy and move everything to the opposite side of the world in a matter of hours. My question for you is, what's your loadout for this event? What will be the best gun to use to shoot the magnetic poles and liquified earth to keep your self and your loved ones safe? Or, if it doesn't work, what gun will make me look coolest to the archeologists who dig me up in 20,000 years. Nicholas J - "Hey guys, first off love the show! One of the very few podcast I actually get excited to listen too. Second, I've been having an ejection issue with my AR where when fired the bolt will stay in the forward position and it's almost like the round is stuck in the chamber, even an unfired round and a dummy round get stuck to the point I have to take a punch hammer to the charging handle to get it out. What are your thoughts? Again love the show and love what yawl do!" Bradley C - Dear WLS With the recent abatement of the NFA tax, and the further conversation surrounding the complete repeal of the NFA, have any 2A space influencers considered the implication of a full repeal, nation wide? As much as many of us in the 2A sphere hoped for it's demise in the BBB, the State level consequences could be detrimental. Let me explain: In the State of Oregon, and I believe there are twelve other States, with the full repeal of the NFA Federally, it would cost us the ability to own, possess, or purchase NFA items. As, at least here in Oregon, they are only able to be in existence, because the NFA is a de facto registry. At this time, Oregon does not have its own requirement to register firearms, but with the implementation of Measure 114 (still tied up in the courts) and the QUEEN Governor having just signed SB 243, the noose is tightening around the firearms owner's neck. Anyway, it is my belief, that the tax was dropped to zero dollars and the NFA maintained to allow these 13 +/- States the ability to keep those NFA items, as ATF maintains their de facto registry. I'm really interested your thoughts and insights on this. Yes Jeremy, I agree with you,

Simon examines the critical importance of specialised knowledge for successful property investing. He introduces the 3M method—Measure, More, and Multiply—as a framework for maximising returns in your property business. He also talks about how to take action by attending events like Property Magic Live and local Property Investor Network meetings to connect with like-minded individuals and share successful strategies, stressing that investing in oneself and leveraging the experiences of others can significantly enhance your property investment journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS To achieve your property investment goals, it's crucial to gain specialised knowledge. Gaps in your education can lead to costly mistakes, similar to crossing a suspension bridge with missing planks. Investing in coaching can provide the support and accountability needed to navigate challenges in property investing. A coach can help identify blind spots and prevent critical errors. 3M Method for Success: The 3M formula consists of: Engaging with like-minded individuals at events like Property Magic Live or local Property Investor Network meetings can help fill knowledge gaps and provide insights into successful strategies used by others. BEST MOMENTS "The more knowledge you have, you can plug the gaps and you're going to be less likely to make expensive mistakes." "Maybe I should have invested in myself and got a coach because then I probably wouldn't have bought this property." "Sometimes we're so busy doing, we don't take the time out to step back and review the results we're getting." "When you know what's working, just do more of that before you try and invent or introduce anything else." "It's all about growing your network of like-minded people who are doing what you want to do."

Two fan favorites from the Star Trek universe—Brent Spiner (Data, Lore, Dr. Soong) and John de Lancie (Q), took the stage at FanX Salt Lake City to swap stories, tease each other, and reflect on careers that stretch far beyond the Final Frontier. What unfolded was a lively, heartfelt, and hilarious panel that explored everything from Breaking Bad and My Little Pony to truth-telling in acting and the evolving humanity of their iconic characters. Houston Roots and Astroworld Memories: Spiner began with stories about Houston, Texas, and their early days performing at Astroworld. What started as gunfighting shows quickly evolved into creative theater, with Spiner even co-writing a “medicine show” alongside fellow actor Trey Wilson. The pair reminisced about the unpredictability of live performance and the strange lessons learned under the summer sun. Breaking Bad and the Outsider Experience: De Lancie also shared his time on Breaking Bad, where he immediately sensed he was stepping into something special. “You can tell almost immediately whether the show is really clicking when you walk on the set. Everybody was playing at a high level.” As a guest actor, he described the balancing act of finding his place in a family that had already been working together for years. Star Trek used philosophy and morality as story engines: Spiner pointed to The Measure of a Man as a defining episode about personhood and slavery, while de Lancie emphasized Q's dynamic with Picard as a constant battle of wills. Both acknowledged the audience's role in shaping how they now see their characters and themselves. “We could not do our work properly if we went up there to lie. We actually are looking for the truth.” – John de Lancie Want more exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes stories from the people who bring your favorite characters to life?

**When God Turns Disgrace into Glory — Matthew 4 Explained** In Matthew 4, Jesus relocates His headquarters to **Capernaum** in **Galilee**—a region many considered disgraced and unlikely for the Messiah. Yet this is exactly where the Light dawns. In this message we unpack why Jesus chose Galilee, what “**Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand**” truly means, and why pastors must serve as **watchmen** who speak to the moral and political realities of their day. ### What You'll Learn - **Why Galilee?** How a land once marked by shame became the launchpad of Messiah's ministry (Isa 9:1–2; Matt 4:12–17). - **Prophets & Pastors as Watchmen:** John the Baptist confronted corrupt power (Herod/Herodias) and suffered for it—modeling the church's duty to apply Scripture to culture (Ezek 33; Acts 20). - **“Kingdom at Hand” Clarified:** Understanding God's kingdom program—universal, theocratic (past), spiritual (present), mystery (church age), and **messianic** (future millennial reign). - **Strategic Wisdom of Jesus:** Why Jesus avoided premature conflict and set up in a high-traffic hub where news would spread quickly. - **From Guilt to Grace:** How the Lord transforms the “Galilee” of our lives—our failure and shame—into places of light, freedom, and calling (Rom 8:1; 1 Jn 1:9). - **The Rejected Stone:** The world's “discarded” stones become God's cornerstones in Christ (Ps 118:22; 2 Cor 5:17; Col 2:14). ### Key Scriptures Matthew 4:12–25; Isaiah 9:1–2; Ezekiel 33; Acts 20:26–27; Luke 4:16–30; John 4:43–45; Psalm 118:22; John 5:24; Romans 8:1; 1 Thessalonians 5:9; 1 John 1:9; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Colossians 2:14. --- ### Apply It - **Reset your mindset:** Repent = “change your mind.” Lay down false assurances and self-condemnation; receive Christ's finished work. - **Stand as a watchman:** Measure cultural issues by Scripture and warn in love. - **Choose wise battles:** Like Jesus, engage with discernment—truth with timing. --- ### If this blessed you: 1) **Like • Subscribe • Bell** to push past the algorithm.   2) **Pray** for boldness, protection, and fruit.   3) **Support the work** so we can keep producing and traveling for biblical content.   Give here: YOUR-DONATION-LINK

Dr. Michael Timothy Bennett is a computer scientist who's deeply interested in understanding artificial intelligence, consciousness, and what it means to be alive. He's known for his provocative paper "What the F*** is Artificial Intelligence" which challenges conventional thinking about AI and intelligence.**SPONSOR MESSAGES***Prolific: Quality data. From real people. For faster breakthroughs.https://prolific.com/mlst?utm_campaign=98404559-MLST&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_content=mb***Michael takes us on a journey through some of the biggest questions in AI and consciousness. He starts by exploring what intelligence actually is - settling on the idea that it's about "adaptation with limited resources" (a definition from researcher Pei Wang that he particularly likes).The discussion ranges from technical AI concepts to philosophical questions about consciousness, with Michael offering fresh perspectives that challenge Silicon Valley's "just scale it up" approach to AI. He argues that true intelligence isn't just about having more parameters or data - it's about being able to adapt efficiently, like biological systems do.TOC:1.

Life is fleeting—like a breath or shadow compared to eternity. In this study of Psalm 39, Dr. John explores how David grapples with life's apparent meaninglessness while suffering under God's discipline. Yet this isn't depressing but hopeful. When God strips away what we hold dear, He's redirecting our hope from this temporary world to Him alone. Dr. John shows how David teaches us to live as sojourners passing through this world with God as our guide, finding joy in our brief time here.Reasons for Worship: In a world of political turmoil, personal struggles, and the apparent prosperity of evil, where should believers place their trust? Dr. John's series on Psalms 33–41 called “Reasons for Worship” explores God's faithfulness amid life's challenges. From David's escapes to his reflections on the wicked, these psalms offer practical wisdom for trusting God, finding hope in desperate circumstances, and keeping faith when evil seems to prevail. This series brings both comfort and challenge, pointing to the God who is completely trustworthy in every season.
